Red Wen, born in the 00s: Rectifying the King's Canyon

"Dude, even though this is a practice match, you can't actually throw the game. Is this hero even viable?"

"This is your trial period!" Xuan Ran couldn't stand watching Gu Lin'an from behind and couldn't help but say.

Gu Lin'an said, "I'll say it again: 'Guaranteed carry doesn't guarantee a win.' I'll crush the top lane, and the rest is up to you."

Cat looked at Yi Nuo and said, "Is this guy always this arrogant during his live streams?"

Yinuo stammered, "Well, it was kind of a natural performance. I think I was being restrained, otherwise..."

Yinuo shook her head helplessly, recalling how Gu Lin'an had argued with people before.

When Gu Lin'an picked the hero Mi Yue, TTG was quite surprised.

"What's up with this newbie on the other side, picking the hero Mi Yue?" Although Mi Yue is a strong laner, she's weak in team fights.

The hero's description is that he's a mage tank, but he evaporates instantly upon entering a team fight and can't contribute anything in team battles.

"Maybe it's easier to lane against Allen, since long ranged characters can beat short ranged characters," Qingqing said.

"Sigh, she was too young and eager to show off. Mi Yue became useless in the later stages."

The training match begins.

On Gu Lin'an's side.

Top Lane: Mi Yue (Berserk)

Mid Lane: Wang Zhaojun. (Flash)

Development Lane: Huang Zhong. (Flash)

Support: Lu Ban Master. (Flash)

Jungler: Kayle. (Smite)

TTG side.

Top Lane: Allen. (Slay)

Mid Lane: Xi Shi. (Flash)

Development Lane: Baili Shouyue. (Flash)

Support: Lian Po. (Flash)

Jungler: Yao. (Smite)

"Nine-Tailed Fox, why are you playing this hero? You haven't played this hero in a long time," Qingqing asked.

"Haha, I recently got Baili Shouyue from Changye while playing the note game, and I secretly learned a trick from him. I feel like my skills are even better than before. I'll try it out in the training match."

"Perfect match for Shouyue to beat up the old man."

Zhong Yi felt that Jiuwei on the opposing team would suppress Yinuo's development in this game, so she said, "Changye, I won't help the top lane this game. Jiuwei's Baili Shouyue is very accurate. I'll go help Nuozai."

"You have your first skill and ultimate ability, so it's hard for the enemy to catch you. Just play it safe."

Gu Lin'an nodded, "Don't worry, the other side won't be able to catch me in this round."

Both sides entered the King's Canyon, and Gu Lin'an started by learning the second skill and went to the confrontation lane.

Normally, Mi Yue could easily gain lane control against Ya Lian using her second skill.

However, when Gu Lin'an tried to connect his second skill to Allen, it missed.

This gave Qingqing an opportunity to directly grab the second spot.

Upon reaching level two, Qingqing immediately launched a counterattack.

Without her second skill, Mi Yue is still clearing the minion wave. Qingqing used Meteor Slash in combination with normal attacks to whittle down Gu Lin'an's health by half a bar.

"This newbie isn't very good; he can't even land Mi Yue's second skill accurately," Qingqing said after taking a sip of her medicine.

"The next wave will probably be a solo kill, so none of you should come near me. I'll let you hear the sound later."

At this moment, TTG's mid laner had already started moving to the top lane. After hearing Qingqing's words, he said, "Okay, I'll help you this game. I'll go help Jiuwei. Be careful by yourself."

"He should be the one being careful."

Xuan Ran, standing behind Gu Lin'an, also frowned deeply. Gu Lin'an's performance was truly terrible. He had missed his second skill from the start until now. Mi Yue and Ya Lian were evenly matched in the early game, which was really unacceptable.

The two tugged at each other again, and Qingqing used her second skill to dodge Gu Lin'an's chain and unleashed a Meteor Slash.

At this moment, Gu Lin'an's health is extremely low. Qingqing only needs to stick to him and use her first skill to finish him off and get the first blood.

"The newbie is still too inexperienced. Give up your first blood." Qingqing calculated the damage, waited for her first skill to cool down, and went straight in.

Qingqing used her second skill to pull to the left, trying to predict Gu Lin'an's chain. This move always worked, and she successfully dodged it every time.

Gu Lin'an stared at Qingqing as she stepped forward, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Goodbye, don't bother seeing me out."

He predicted Qingqing's landing spot directly, and the scarlet chain emerged from his hand, coiling around her like a small snake.

"Huh?" Qingqing was taken aback, not expecting that Gu Lin'an's second skill would successfully link to him at this crucial moment.

"It's alright, his health is low. I'll finish him off with a Meteor Slash."

Qingqing unleashed a meteor slash and pressed the kill button, but the expected scene of Gu Lin'an's head falling to the ground did not occur.

Gu Lin'an used his first skill to disappear from his original spot, and reappeared behind him the next second.

"Hehe, you really think my second skill can't chain you?" Gu Lin'an sneered, activating Berserk, his body turning crimson, and his health soared with the lifesteal from his second skill.

The crow servants around Qingqing kept flying towards her, and with the slowing effect of her second skill, it was very difficult for Qingqing to take a step forward.

"Damn it, I didn't expect this kid to be so fast. I've used up my second skill and I can't escape now," Qingqing said angrily.

Firstblood!

First blood.

The TTG members were shocked to discover that the kill was taken by the opposing top laner.

"Qingqing, what happened? Didn't we agree to get first blood? How did someone else get it?" Bu Yi asked.

"Oops, I made a mistake. I didn't expect to get chained by Mi Yue's second skill in the last wave." Qingqing was a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained.

On the other end, Xuan Ran's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in admiration, "Damn, such attention to detail?"

He stood behind Gu Lin'an, but he clearly saw what Gu Lin'an was doing.

Release the first skill in advance, and then dodge it when Qingqing is about to finish you off.

Then, using Berserk and the second skill, they killed Qingqing.

Xuanran realized that Gu Lin'an's second skill missed the first few times because he wanted to lure Qingqing away from the turret.

This is like licking blood off a knife's edge. If the prediction is wrong or the reaction is even a fraction of a second slower, Gu Lin'an will be the one to die in the end.

Having died once, Qingqing put away his contempt. As a top-tier top laner, he naturally knew how detailed this laning phase was. He muttered to himself, "Rookie, I'm getting serious. You'd better be prepared."

After respawning, just as she reached the second tower, crows flew out of the nearby bushes and landed on Qingqing, taking away most of her health in just a few seconds.

This made Qingqing very upset; he didn't expect the opposing team to dare to camp in that position for him in the early game.

So he shouted, "This kid's so arrogant, trying to kill me by disconnecting from the game?"

"Mid laner, come help us, we can get a kill."

"Here she comes." Upon hearing this, Xi Shi walked to the second tower on the top lane and unleashed her skill, but Gu Lin'an dodged it with a serpentine movement.

"She's taken the bait." Gu Lin'an chuckled to himself as he saw Xi Shi.

He had just observed that Xi Shi in the mid lane had been forced to use Flash by his own jungler Kai, so he went to the second tower to cut off the lane in order to lure Xi Shi.

Of course, the situation could change in an instant, and he was just trying his luck.

If the mid laner doesn't come, fine, but if he does, we're doomed, that's what Gu Lin'an said!
