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

King Arthur continued, "Damn, we lost the entire peak match today, dropping over sixty points. How many points did you guys have?"

The person on the second floor typed in reply: 【2076.】

Third floor: [2087.]

Fourth floor; [2092.]

"No, how come I, with a score of 2198, am matched with a bunch of low-scoring players? What kind of lousy system is this?"

"How many points did you get on the fifth floor?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Lin'an's brows furrowed into a knot. This person was probably born King Arthur; his words were utterly inhuman.

He typed back: "[Less than 2200 points.]"

"Wow, I didn't expect there to be such a skilled person here. How many points did you get?"

【2103. 】

[Arthur's rage has increased the host's hero proficiency by 0.1.]

"You're playing me for a fool?!" King Arthur knelt repeatedly, his mood sour, and he swore profusely.

"Otherwise, do you think I'm just playing with a little fool?" Gu Lin'an retorted directly, not one to tolerate him.

[Haha, the tension is palpable, I love watching!]

[An Shen is a perfect fit for this job; he should really treat King Arthur properly.]

"Just you wait, if you screw this over, I'll curse you to death!"

Gu Lin'an was filling in for another position this game, as if the system was targeting him, which left him speechless.

"Family, this is the mid lane. I'll show you my signature mid lane hero, Diao Chan." Gu Lin'an said, locking in his hero.

[Ding, the host has been detected to have triggered an ability. You may not do so.]

The moment Diao Chan was selected, King Arthur couldn't sit still.

"No, why did you pick such a trash hero? Wouldn't it have been better to pick a utility hero and let him farm the mid lane? He would have taken off like a rocket this game."

Gu Lin'an was too lazy to even scold him anymore; even if he was cured, he would still just fart.

Diao Chan is indeed a hero with significant flaws at higher ranks. She is slow at clearing lanes in the early game and needs to farm gold, making her seem like she's about to be phased out in this fast-paced meta.

But that doesn't stop Gu Lin'an from liking the hero's... beautiful legs.

Can someone else's Diao Chan be the same as the Diao Chan you have?

Gu Lin'an used Diao Chan's companion skin, Exotic Dancer. Everyone has different habits, and he felt that this skin felt quite good.

When the opposing team saw that Gu Lin'an had chosen Diao Chan, they immediately countered with Donghuang Taiyi.

"Heh, even the enemy's Donghuang has come out. Let's see how you play this game. Just wait to get reported." King Arthur sneered.

At the start of the game, Gu Lin'an was facing Ying Zheng in lane. After clearing the lane, he went to support the top lane.

Gu Lin'an gave the signal, and then he went to steal the Peppa Pig from the other side.

Diao Chan's power spike is after she completes the Holy Grail, which should be around four minutes into the game if she develops normally.

Try to farm as much as possible in the first four minutes, and steal some jungle camps if you can. The map is bigger in this version, and if Diao Chan goes up to the mid lane and then goes back, she won't even have enough money for fuel.

If you need to provide support, support the top lane. The top lane has a teleportation flower that can teleport you to the mid lane.

Playing Diao Chan requires a bit of selfishness; just send a signal as a token gesture, and as for providing support, you'll have to pay extra.

Four minutes later, Gu Lin'an bought the Holy Grail and went straight out of the mountain.

I calculated in my mind that the enemy jungler should be taking the blue buff at this time and wouldn't have time to deal with me.

After clearing the mid lane, Gu Lin'an sneakily arrived at the top lane, waiting for the minion wave to be exchanged.

When Ji Xiaoman saw Diao Chan crouching in the bushes, she immediately went up to initiate a team fight, using her first and second rising dragon punches to control Hua Mulan.

Gu Lin'an's figure vanished from the spot and reappeared on Hua Mulan's face the next second.

The lotus blossomed, and petals flew out from the sleeves, leaving a passive mark.

Hua Mulan made a big mistake this time. Gu Lin'an had been staying in the mid lane for the past four minutes and had never shown his face in the top lane. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was AFK.

He was caught off guard and an opportunity was seized upon.

Hua Mulan had Flash available and ran straight into the turret, while Gu Lin'an had his second skill ready and was waiting there.

The petals drifted towards Mulan, triggering her passive ability, and she was instantly killed.

[Anshen, you bought the wrong equipment. You bought the Chalice of Harmony again. Now you've wasted your kills.]

This is a huge loss.

Gu Lin'an looked at the comments and replied, "I did this on purpose."

【? ? 】

Why is An Shen using a new item build again?

Gu Lin'an coughed lightly and replied, "Because the second cup is half price."

【…】

[Anshen, that's a really lame joke.]

Gu Lin'an smiled warmly and replied, "I didn't make a mistake. The Holy Grail is a pretty good value item, giving me 180 ability power and 500 maximum health."

"180 magic power is not bad among the equipment that Diao Chan uses."

"The most important thing is that you can't buy a pair of shoes right now. Buying two Chalices will allow you to quickly reach 40% cooldown reduction, after which you can switch to resilience shoes."

"I brought Weakening this time, and the enemy team had Mulan, so it was necessary to get a tenacity boots in advance."

[Searching for the dead milk, I've come to another understanding of calming the nerves.]

[He truly is a genius and an extraordinary man.]

[Kick out Teacher Donkey's fans.]

As Gu Lin'an spoke, he tried to teleport back to the middle lane, but when he switched perspectives, he saw that his minion wave had been eaten by King Arthur.

? ? ! !

Gu Lin'an's temper flared up immediately, and he yelled into the microphone, "Are you crazy? Why are you eating my minions?!"

King Arthur said, "You should stay on the side. Didn't you see that the enemy jungler's economy is 200 higher than mine? How can I carry the team if I don't farm?"

This King Arthur is clearly mass-produced with the Azure Dragon; they look exactly the same.

[Ugh, that King Arthur deserves to die! I can't take it anymore, An Shen needs to get rid of him!]

Why should the jungler get all the farm for us mid-laners? The game developers should come out and apologize!

[Our An Shen isn't incapable of being a C-class player, this King Arthur is going too far, I really feel sorry for my brother~]

A hint of anger flashed in Gu Lin'an's eyes. It was fine to let the mage hang on the sidelines, but the problem was that he was playing the core of the mage's power, not just a tool.

"Fine, fine, King Arthur, if you keep playing like this, don't blame me for ruining you this time," Gu Lin'an sneered.

"I happen to be short on rage points lately, so you can give me some."

He's really good at ripping people off.

Gu Lin'an saw Hua Mulan appear inside the turret and waited for her ultimate skill to activate.

"I'll just use you to vent my anger."

Without saying a word, he flew over and activated his ultimate skill under the first tower.

Petals flew out from her sleeves and brushed against Mulan's body.

At the same time, the second skill avoids damage from the turret, and the timing and frequency are well controlled.

Mulan was shocked. How did this guy manage to cling to me?

He wanted to break the silence, but Gu Lin'an controlled Diao Chan so lightly that he couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.

Gu Lin'an used his second skill to pull himself back, threw a flower ball, and then confidently turned around.

A voice announcement began.

Diao Chan kills Hua Mulan.

[An Shen's anger was truly cruel; she just jumped off like that, so beautiful and fresh? My heart aches for Mulan for three seconds.]

[Hey bro, you should really feel sorry for King Arthur. Mulan is just collateral damage; King Arthur is the main character.]

[Nonsense! My brother is just a saint; he's simply trying to reform King Arthur with love!]
