"Wow! Eh? I'm back again?"
I thought I was going to fall to my death and could only watch others play with my Gentian. But when I realized that I was just going back to the starting point, I suddenly became much braver.
I also discovered the greatest joy of this game—sabotaging my teammates!
Seeing that Green Fairy and Sunset Lily were still entangled together, she grabbed both of them and tried to drag them to the edge of the map, making her character bounce on the ground.
"Hey! Midori-chan~ Lily-chan~ Let's commit double suicide together!!"
"Yada! I don't want to die with you, let me go!!"
Seeing this, Shimizu Toru knew that he could forget about beating the game during today's live stream, because Pandora's box had already been opened.
Fortunately, in this game, as long as a teammate clears a level, the others will be directly teleported to the next map; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to pass the level at all.
"Huh? You passed the test already?"
Because the Inu-boku bed and Machida Chima successfully opened both doors and passed through the escape route, six little figures of different colors began to fall from the sky.
Before Green Fairy could even finish wondering what was going on, Dragon Gallant Lord grabbed her again: "Hey~ let's commit suicide together!"
"I told you no! Toko-san, please help me!"
"Pfft, hahaha!" Xu Hai looked at the chaotic scene of demons dancing and laughed so hard his hands trembled.
Not only did they show no intention of helping, they even took advantage of the situation and joined Longdanzun in capturing Green Fairy: "Go go go! Let's sacrifice ourselves for the greater good!"
"Time traveler, what do you want to do?"
"Let's commit double suicide together~ It sounds like such a fun idea."
"Even if they're from the future, it won't work! Oh my god!"
Seeing that Lily and Chima Machida were also entangled together, the girls were in such a chaotic state that it resembled the chaos of the Battle of Ping'an in the Jin-Sui region.
Having anticipated this scene, Shimizu Toru still sighed, "Forget it, I can't count on you guys. I'll do it myself."
As his only hope of completing the game, he used jumping and grabbing to climb onto the train with the agility of a normal person.
Normally, you should go through the small door on the right in this level, but it's actually faster to climb up directly, provided you're skilled enough.
For beginners, the only option is to move the obstacles in front of the small door and then drag a few carriages around to the back of the locomotive.
"Stop playing around! Come help push the carriage!"
Shimizu Toru realized she had overestimated herself and had to call for help, even though the walkthrough video showed that it was easy to push the cart by holding onto the railing.
"They're here!" Yuhi Lily and Takamiya Rion controlled their characters, following his instructions to enter the towed carriage through the small door and walk all the way to him.
"You guys down here, move the carriage to the correct position, I'll go open the door!"
Luckily, I can get my girlfriend to agree, otherwise I would really be stuck. Even if I didn't get stuck on the first level, it wouldn't sound good to be stuck on the second level.
The third challenge begins with moving a wooden box onto a presser. Just as Shimizu Toru lifts the box, Rindan-kun stops him.
"Everyone has already committed suicide with me once, except for Tou-kun~ Let's die together~"
"...Whatever makes you happy, I've already given up the struggle."
The more you struggle in this game, the more it will trigger other people's perverse sense of humor. Shimizu Toru is not one to fall for it.
As expected, Gentian Lord immediately lost interest: "Tsk, boring. Why don't you resist?"
"What's the point of resisting? It will only excite a sadist like you more."
The live stream was a success; everyone had a great time, and laughter and joy lasted for more than two hours.
The only regret is that Shimizu Toru's wish to complete the game was not fulfilled until the end of the broadcast.
For the next collaboration, we absolutely cannot just choose games with good entertainment value; it would really damage the reputation of his gaming prowess.
Volume 1: Chapter 102 Basic Attacks Interspersed with Normal Attacks, a 5A-Level Combo [Bonus Chapter for 900 Blades]
In mid-May, the air in Tokyo already carried the slight dryness of early summer.
Shimizu Toru sat in front of the computer. In the Discord voice channel, there were five other people besides him.
Mimi Usagi, Hinano Tachibana, Sumire Hanae, Nazuna Hanae, and Kurumi Noa—among them, only the first two have some basic skills; the remaining three are still beginners.
But in reality, Hinano and her friend had only been playing for a few months and were still at a level where they didn't even understand ranked matches.
"Alright, fellow VSPO 'pro' players," Shimizu Toru's voice carried a hint of teasing, but his eyes were quite serious:
"There's still a month and a half until the start of VSL, so we don't have much time. Today's goal is simple—practice the basics, starting with last-hitting."
"Yes, Coach Yuzuru!" Mimi Usaki was the first to respond, full of energy.
"Last-hitting? I can do that!" Nutto Noah confidently locked onto Draven, her favorite champion when playing against bots, ready to dominate the bottom lane.
"Let's begin, custom mode, mid lane 1v1, only last-hitting allowed, no fighting, no using skills to clear minions." Shimizu Toru gave the order: "Target 60 CS in 10 minutes, those who don't reach it will have to practice for another half hour."
"Huh!? 60 CS? Just with auto-attacks?" Hanaya's eyes widened. Although she had just started playing LOL, this standard was unusually high.
"60 points is the passing grade; professional players can reach 90 or even 100 points in 10 minutes." Shimizu Toru calmly stated the facts: "Your goal is to compete, not to have fun. Let's begin!"
The game begins, and the minion waves converge.
The confident Nutnite immediately learned her lesson. Draven's axe was unpredictable, and she had to catch it while also managing to finish off minions, making her flustered and causing her to miss attacks frequently.
A siege soldier's health was almost depleted. She flicked her wrist, flung her axe, and the siege engine was unharmed, but the soldier next to her fell down.
"Ah! My artillery!"
"Noah, watch where the axe will land, anticipate its movement, don't panic." Shimizu Toru's voice rang out, his tone completely calm.
Nutnut Noah nodded and obediently replied, "I understand, Coach. I'll be careful."
On the other side, Tachibana Hinano is using Clockwork Spirit.
She is relatively reliable at last-hitting, but she is too cautious and sometimes abandons one or two low-health minions to ensure she can last-hit, resulting in low efficiency.
"Hinano, you're too conservative. You need to last-hit safe minions and try to steal risky ones. Calculate the damage from minion skirmishes and time your last hit perfectly."
Shimizu Toru pinpointed the problem precisely: "Look at this melee minion. If you had waited another half second, it would have died. You attacked it prematurely, wasting a chance to use a basic attack."
"Yes...yes, Coach!" Tachibana Hinano took a deep breath and adjusted his rhythm.
Huayaqi is playing Sivir, laning against her sister Huayasu's Lulu in the mid lane.
Her basic skills were already weak, and coupled with nervousness, her last-hit count was abysmal after 10 minutes, with only a pitiful 22.
“NazuP…” Shimizu Toru sighed as he looked at the observer's perspective: “Your mind was entirely focused on how to use skills to whittle down the opponent's health? Where are your basic attacks? Use your mouse to click on the minions! Don't just keep dodging skills, the minions are all dead!”
"I'm so sorry, Coach Hanyu!" Hana Nazuna's face turned bright red as she frantically began to count the players, resulting in even more omissions.
Usagi Mimi demonstrated her focus and meticulousness as a "veteran". She controlled Ashe, striving for precision with every basic attack, and keeping a sharp eye on the minions' health bars.
Although she missed a few, she was the best performer among the five, barely reaching 55 points in 10 minutes.
"Mimi Taya, not bad, just barely passing." Shimizu Toru affirmed her attitude, but also pointed out areas for improvement:
"But you're too focused on perfecting individual units. The pace could be a bit faster. Pay attention to using the attack intervals to move and adjust your position to prepare for the next wave of units."
"Okay! Hehe~" As someone who is into voices, when he praised her in a boyish voice, Mimi Usaki's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.
The first round of "torture" ended, and apart from Usagi Mimi who barely escaped punishment, everyone else was wiped out.
Shimizu gave them a five-minute break, while she quickly recorded each person's questions on the tablet.
Nutnut Noah has poor fundamentals and an impatient personality; Violet is too conservative and inefficient; Watercress has weak fundamentals but too strong an offensive desire; and Hinano is too cautious.
Usagi Mimi is alright, but she plays the jungler position in the main competition, with the bot lane being the Hana sisters, the top laner being Kurumi Noa, and the mid laner being Tachibana Hinano.
Unfortunately, before this, apart from hinano who always played mid lane, the other players' positions didn't match up, and they all had to relearn their champion pools.
—If the heroes they practiced in AI matches and casual matches can also be considered part of their hero pool.
"See that? That's the difference." Shimizu Toru posted the data in the group chat, showing it to them:
"Laying minions online is the foundation of development. Missing a single minion is worth tens of gold, which can amount to hundreds or even thousands of gold in ten minutes. The opponent won't be polite to you. Next, we'll practice our positioning."
After he finished speaking, he set up a new custom room, where they took turns moving around to avoid the non-targeted skills of computer-controlled heroes such as Xerath and Morgana.
"Twist around! Don't go in a straight line, use the minions as cover! Anticipate his predictions!" Shimizu Toru's voice echoed in the voice channel. Although it wasn't stern, it was definitely not gentle either.
Nutcracker's Draven was moving around like a madman, as if he were drunk, and ended up crashing headfirst into Morgana's restraint: "Aaaaah! Is this computer cheating?!"
Upon seeing this, Shimizu Toru's lips twitched. "You actually won with this? Are you a fan of Brother Shuizi?"
Lulu in Flora Bloom dances like an elegant waltz, her movements agile, dodging most skills and displaying extraordinary reflexes.
Flower Bud's Sivir staged a staged accident, colliding with skills from all sorts of unbelievable angles, making others want to laugh but dare not.
This time, Usagi Mimi switched to Ezreal, and she used E skill quite well, but Shimizu Toru called a halt again:
"Dodge skills by positioning! Not by using movement skills. The E skill has such a long cooldown, what do you do after you dodge one? Position! Position!"
Hinano was still the most focused one, her lips tightly pursed, her eyes fixed on the screen. As someone who also liked voices, she also wanted to be praised!
After more than two hours of intense basic training, all five girls were exhausted, as if they had just fought a battle. Their fingers ached and their eyes were glazed over.
But in their eyes, besides exhaustion, there was also a newfound focus and a sense of awe for the tedious basic skills of last-hitting and positioning.
"Next, based on your assigned lanes, I've selected a few simple and easy-to-learn heroes for you. Play a game against bots, and I'll explain them to you in detail."
"Top lane Darius, mid lane Lux, jungle Xin Zhao, AD Jinx, support Leona."
This lineup is so good that even a primary school student could understand it; it's just missing Garen, Master Yi, and Yasuo.
It's a pity that Mordekaiser hasn't been reworked yet, otherwise he would have both the mechanics and the stats.
However, it will be available by the end of the month, which is still in time. It will allow VSL participants to witness what a five-A-level combo is, as well as basic attacks interspersed with normal attacks.
------------------------
This book is intended to cover a timeline extending to 22 years, so it can't be written in as much detail as before, covering every single day.
Seven chapters still owed, only two days left. If you have any more thorns (meaning harsh criticism), please send them!
Volume 1: Chapter 103 Even a chicken could play better than you if you just threw some rice on the keyboard.
"Before the game starts, let me ask you a simple question: In your opinion, what kind of game is League of Legends?"
"Huh? MO game?" Usagi Mimi gave an answer that was absolutely correct.
"No, to be more precise, it's a tower defense game."
After taking a tactical sip of water, Shimizu Toru continued, "As long as you can destroy the enemy's crystal, even if you are down to 0-15, a win is a win."
That's how the suicide Sion build came about, and backdoor tactics are common even in professional matches, don't you think?
"If it's just for fun, then winning or losing doesn't matter. But you're all participating in the competition because you're aiming for the championship, right? So first of all, you need to understand your respective positions and responsibilities."
After finishing his speech, Shimizu Toru began calling out names: "Noah, as a top laner, what is your core mission? Is it to get solo kills? Or to show off your skills?"
"Uh... suppress the opponent? Team fight?" Hu Tao Nuoya's voice was uncertain.
"It's about controlling the minion wave, restraining the opponent, and being in the right place at the right time!" Shimizu Toru interrupted her, his tone tinged with helplessness:
"You're still using Flash and Ignite as your Summoner Spells. What are you going to do when your teammates need your help in team fights? By the time you walk there, they've all respawned! From now on, you absolutely must use Teleport!"
"Yes! I understand, Coach." Nutnova shrank back as she was being scolded.
"Hinano, as the mid laner, your task is to control the mid lane, support the side lanes and jungle, and cooperate with the jungler to invade or defend. Your wards should be able to illuminate both sides of the river, and your positioning should always be vigilant against ganks."
Fortunately, the team's mid and jungle players are both experienced, so Shimizu Toru can only rely on them to lead the team: "Remember, you are one of the team's starting points, not a turret standing under the tower! Be aware of switching screens at any time!"
"Yes, Coach!" Hinano's voice immediately became serious, with a sense of enlightenment.
Next up is the bot lane duo: "NazuP, I have three requirements for you. First, you can't get killed in lane. Second, you have to last hit every last hit you can. Finally, you have to be able to clean up the battlefield in team fights."
"Understood! I will try my best to get rid of my bad habit of bullying others!"
"What's the point of pressuring them? If you keep them under the tower, aren't you just baiting the enemy jungler to gank? Just focus on farming minions."
To put it simply, it's about learning from Korean AD carries: withstand pressure and farm in the early game, then follow your teammates to pick up kills once you have all your items.
Laning dominance, lane kills, and clutch plays are not things beginners should be concerned with.
"Sumire, your task is to protect the AD carry, initiate team fights, and control vision. If you have extra time, you can try to learn how to command."
Hana-chan nodded obediently: "Understood, Coach. I will try my best to be everyone's eyes and shield!"
Finally, regarding the jungler: "Mimi Taya, the jungler is the position that requires the most consideration in the game: ganking, counter-ganking, initiating team fights, controlling resources. You need to be mentally prepared."
