Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 2114 How about we make a bet?
"Don't worry, guys, we're guaranteed to win this game as long as my teammates don't feed."

Seeing the barrage of questioning comments, Fang Yun not only ignored them but also gave his assurances.

"Uh... what if we give it to them?"

"Come on, you're feeding even though your teammates aren't feeding, huh?"

"The support is a bot; if this thing can't hook anyone, it's just a super minion!"

"Is it possible that he's even worse than a super minion?..."

I saw him bragging while the game was loading, saying that if his teammates didn't feed, they would definitely win.

The chat wasn't going to tolerate him and immediately started their familiar online battle.

"You gave it away? You still won, I said it!"

Ignoring the comments that teased him, Fang Yun picked out the comment that asked what to do if his teammates fed and replied to it separately.

As the player finished replying to that comment, the game officially entered the map.

Standing in the spring water.

Fang Yun, controlling his Draven, opened the shop, ignored all other starting items, and decisively used the 450 gold coins he had with him to buy a Doran's Blade.

"???"

"No...Doran's sword is out, are you making a scene?"

"The shoes should have three reds, bro, don't you even know that?"

"Oh no, oh no, he has absolutely no sustain at the start, and he's playing a clunky Draven. I can already imagine how Cheng is going to get kited by the enemy Ezreal..."

It was surprising to see that his starting item choice was Doran's Blade instead of the usual boots and three health potions.

Many viewers felt a wave of dizziness and completely lost hope in Fang Yun.

In my previous life, it was common for marksmen in League of Legends to start with Doran's Blade, and no one would think there was anything wrong with it.

But veteran players who have been playing this game since Season 2 know that back then, no AD carry would start with Doran's Blade; everyone would start with boots and three health potions.

the reason is simple.

In Season 2, heroes generally have slower movement speeds, but level 1 boots provide a significant speed boost.

The importance of hero movement speed in combat is self-evident.

If you don't buy shoes at the start of the game but your opponent does, then once a fight breaks out...

You can easily find yourself in a predicament where you can neither catch up nor escape.

Especially heroes like Draven, who were considered 'clumsy' by early players.

What's the use of having high attack power if you can't catch up to someone without shoes?

I watched as the comments section was filled with cries of despair.

Fang Yun, who wasn't engaging in a level 1 team fight but instead heading straight for the lane, raised an eyebrow, a sudden thought forming in his mind—

"Looks like everyone's not too happy with how I ended up this round? How about this, I'll start a prediction contest. Just guess whether I won or lost this round, and the prize... as usual, 5 fruit."

As Fang Yun maneuvered Draven to his own bottom lane turret, he suddenly spoke.

"what??"

"Getting anxious? Getting anxious already?"

"We agreed not to prepare any perks for today, but the guys just pulled them out without any prompting?"

"If you say Cheng Ge is bad at Fantasy Westward Journey, he'll just laugh it off, but if you say he's bad at League of Legends, he'll really get angry!"

"As expected, lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest knife!"

"What are you waiting for, brothers? Let's all lose! You only have 30 seconds to vote, so don't hesitate!"

"LOL isn't a dream game. Spending money won't change the fact that you're a noob. Brother Cheng is definitely going to have a big crash this game. We're bringing you 5 fruits!"

Amidst a barrage of doubts and mockery in the comments, Fang Yun, who usually dislikes arguing with the comments, surprisingly made a bet with everyone today.

Many people were stunned at first, then immediately overjoyed—

The fact that the host got anxious just proves that everyone's doubts were correct!

So there were no surprises.

The moment the voting window popped up, the losing option took an immediate and significant lead, and within 30 seconds, it had already left the winning option far behind.

"Alright, alright, you all think the streamer will lose, right? Just you wait!"

Seeing that almost everyone assumed they were doomed to lose this round of voting.

Although Fang Yun was secretly laughing to himself, he pretended to be very tough, making everyone feel that he had it in the bag.

While he was interacting with the comments, the minions on both sides of the game finally appeared.

In this game, Fang Yun's team had Draven and Blitzcrank in the bot lane, while the opposing team had Ezreal and Taric in the bot lane.

In terms of team strength, Fang Yun's team is clearly superior to the opposing team.

But the viewers in the live stream didn't see it that way.

First of all, the robot's Q skill is highly dependent on proficiency; if you miss the Q, the robot's effectiveness is greatly diminished.

Draven is a hero who needs to constantly catch axes to maintain high attack power.

The key is.

These two heroes have absolutely no healing abilities and are completely unsustainable!

In other words.

These two heroes seem strong at first glance, but if they don't coordinate well or their skill level is low, they will inevitably be crushed when facing the enemy's EZ + Taric combination with high mobility and high sustain!

But just when everyone was waiting for Fang Yun's Draven to be outmaneuvered by the opposing duo...

But then, after the minions went online...

Fang Yun didn't rush to get level 2 minions, but instead let the opponent push the lane.

His strange behavior not only left the viewers in the live chat completely baffled, but even the robot next to him couldn't help but type a "?" in the chat.

But Fang Yun clearly didn't intend to explain.

A moment later.

As the opposing team finished replenishing their first wave of three front-line minions, they began to cross the river and pressure them.

Fang Yun's Draven suddenly moved!

The moment he pressed his Q skill "Spinning Axe," he instantly leaped across the minion wave and landed a single auto-attack on the unsuspecting Ezreal.
-
104!

A basic attack with a spinning axe buff.

Suddenly, a burst of over 100 damage shot out from the enemy EZ, instantly reducing his health by nearly a fifth!

And then...

Before anyone could react...

Fang Yun controlled Draven to run forward two steps, successfully catching the throwing axe while simultaneously landing a powerful attack—
-
108!

When the second blow landed, EZ lost almost half of his health on the spot, finally snapping him out of his daze!
This EZ never expected that the enemy Draven was just letting the lane go and waiting for him to push.

The next second, he suddenly went berserk, and two consecutive QA attacks directly reduced his health by half!

Meanwhile, the gem next to EZ finally remembered to protect his AD carry, but before he could take any action...

Fang Yun's Draven took a few steps forward, picked up the axe, and then unhesitatingly swung down a third time!

After taking another hit, EZ's health was in danger, while Fang Yun's Draven's health remained relatively healthy despite being focused down by enemy minions.

It was obvious to anyone that something was wrong, so EZ didn't hesitate and decisively chose to escape to his own first tower!

However, it's important to understand that Fang Yun chose to let the lane go at level 1 precisely so that the opponent wouldn't be able to escape.

He decisively chased after it, as the fourth flying axe slashed down.

EZ's health was already critically low, but he hadn't managed to close the distance with Draven.

Gritting his teeth, EZ knew that now was not the time to dwell on such things, even though he felt a little embarrassed. So he decisively pressed F and used his Flash.

What he didn't expect was...

Just as he pressed F to flash and teleport to his own turret.

Fang Yun's Draven also used Flash in sync, and then threw out another flying axe, completely wiping out his remaining health!

First-Blood!

The moment EZ was taken down with a single strike, the in-game voice prompt for First Blood also rang out.

"???"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! What the hell did I just see?!"

"A level 1 Draven got first blood against Ezreal? Is that reasonable?"

"This is too bloody, too violent, holy crap! They chased after me as soon as I was level 1, and they actually got first blood! This is outrageous!"

"Didn't you guys notice that there was something wrong with how Cheng Ge caught that Draven axe?"

“Every time the axe hasn’t even hit the ground yet, Gord Raven is already in position. It’s obvious he can predict where his axe will land. That’s incredible!”

"Is it possible that, instead of being predicted, the landing position of the axe could actually be controlled?"

"Oh no, we've been tricked by Cheng Ge again. His Draven skill level is ridiculously high!"

"At level 1, I lured the enemy into a trap. Once they crossed the river, I immediately engaged them, then chased them down and killed them all the way. Finally, I used a synchronized flash and auto-attack to finish them off. It was so smooth, so incredibly smooth..."

The moment Fang Yun executed a series of fluid maneuvers to secure the first blood against the enemy EZ.

The chat room exploded with comments!
No one expected this.

Draven, an unpopular AD carry in their eyes, is considered clumsy and difficult to play.

It's unbelievable how Fang Yun could pull this off; he chased down and killed the enemy EZ at level 1!
Even after EZ was sent back to the fountain, their Taric was still completely bewildered and didn't even bother Draven much.

Draven's own support robot was like a block of wood, only interested in watching the show and even forgetting about Q.

It can only be said that Fang Yun's sudden outburst caught everyone off guard.

Regardless of the process, Draven securing First Blood is a given, which is not good news for the Ezreal/Tarz duo.

Before the enemy EZ could get back to lane.

After securing the first blood, Fang Yun didn't rush back to base. Instead, he turned around and patiently started farming minions.

A moment later.

With Draven successfully reaching level 2, the opposing Ezreal finally returned to his lane.

EZ, who had returned to lane, was smarter this time. Instead of pushing forward, he stayed behind his own base and farmed minions to reach level 2 and learn his E skill, "Arcane Shift."

But to my utter surprise...

Even though he was being so cunning, Draven on the other side showed no intention of letting him off the hook.

Just as EZ was about to seize the opportunity to finish off a low-health minion, Draven, who had previously been keeping to himself, suddenly charged forward!

First, a single flying axe shot took away a quarter of his health.

Then, just as EZ realized something was wrong and tried to escape back to the tower, the opponent immediately used another E skill, "Pathfinder," to force him to move sideways while also applying a slow effect!
"It's over!"

The moment EZ realized he had been slowed down, his heart sank!
Meanwhile, the gem standing next to him finally realized his responsibility, but unfortunately he was only level 1 and had only learned the Q skill that heals.

Just as he was about to give his AD carry a boost.

But then the robot on the other side, which had been silent for a while, suddenly used its hook and pulled him right over!

And at the very moment the gem was snatched away.

EZ, slowed down by Draven at level 1, was completely helpless and could only watch as Draven caught up and sent him back to his own fountain with a few more hits!
"..."

"..."

"Oh...so terrible."

"Level 1 EZ gets two consecutive losses at the start, this is just utterly crushing!"

"That gem is really interesting. When his own AD got first blood, he was standing there in a daze. When he finally reacted the second time, he got hooked by the enemy Blitzcrank..."

"Look, look! The gem is going to be gone too!"

"Haha, you can tell he really wants to escape, but he can't run away from Brother Cheng's crazy attacks and the robot's E control!"

"Wow, another kill! It's only been a few minutes and we already have three kills. Is Cheng's Draven going to fly?"

"I don't know if Draven will go to heaven or not, but I do know that if we just gambled on him, we'll lose this game. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll all be heading to the rooftop after this game..."

I watched helplessly as the enemy EZ was slaughtered twice before even reaching level 2.

The viewers in the live stream felt sorry for him.

Meanwhile.

The gem, which was hooked back by the robot, had little ability to resist Draven and the robot's combo attacks and control, and was quickly sent back to the fountain by Draven.

Draven, who had secured three kills in a row and carried over a thousand gold coins in his bag, finally pressed the recall button amidst a sea of ​​shocked gazes.

But I never expected it.

When Draven returned to the shop, he didn't buy Bloodthirster or Phantom Dancer as everyone expected. Instead, he decisively bought a "Mystic Sword" in full!
"Holy crap, a butcher's knife?!"

"Huh? Isn't it called the Mysterious Sword? Why is it called the Pig-Slaughtering Knife?"

"What do you mean by a butcher's knife? It's called a murder sword!"

"Holy crap, is Brother Cheng really not going to play human this time? He's even pulled out a killing machine?"

"The key issue isn't pulling out the Bloodthirster, but rather that rushing it as the first item shows a complete disregard for the opponent!"

"Oh no, oh no, I suddenly have a very bad feeling!..."

Draven, who bought the "Mysterious Sword," known as the "pig-slaughtering knife," in full on his first day back home, was a sight to behold.

Many viewers in the live stream who were familiar with the mechanics of League of Legends were stunned on the spot!

As they said, it's normal for an AD carry to build a Bloodthirster when they're ahead, but it's a bit unreasonable for you to build a Bloodthirster as your first item.

Clearly, after the initial probing, Fang Yun had already marked the opposing EZ + Taric combination as noobs.

For beating noobs, the Killer Sword is definitely the best choice.

as predicted.

Draven, who reappeared wielding a fully-paid Murder Sword, was no longer human.

Although the opposing duo had realized that Draven's strength was unfathomable, they didn't dare to confront him easily.

But unfortunately, Draven's support is a Blitzcrank, and this Blitzcrank's hook is surprisingly accurate!
This completely sealed the fate of the opposing duo.

Under the robot's precise grappling hook, the opposing duo was killed one by one, or even both of them.

In less than ten minutes.

The two, who had been forced to farm minions under the second tower, had successfully helped Fang Yun's Levin stack his Bloodthirster to 14 stacks!
"They were pushed back to the second turret to farm minions in just over 10 minutes? Is this still the League of Legends I know?"

"Is this the Draven who gets ahead? He's fucking brutal!"

"Brother Cheng, with your Draven skills, why are you even playing Fantasy Westward Journey? Just go pro!"

"Stop joking around. How much money can you make playing professionally? It's not even as much as the perks that Brother Cheng would give out if he seriously started streaming again!"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's keep watching!..."

Watching the opposing duo being pinned down under the second tower by the Draven duo and unable to move.

Even though I know there's a high chance I won't get those 5 fruits in this game.

But everyone became more and more engrossed in watching it.
