Kid: Because Five Fingers Weren't Enough

In an instant, Imp went berserk in the LGD backstage area, leaving Godv and the others at a complete loss.

Was there really any need to react so strongly?

Whenever someone had said Imp was inferior to Uzi before, he had merely laughed it off.

Why did he get so worked up the moment someone said he was inferior to Deft?

"Quick, get Imp to the hospital!"

"Let go of me! Damn it, Deft! I'm not crazy!"

Gnashing his teeth, Imp picked up his phone and rapidly sent out a barrage of messages to Deft.

Deft, who had been laughing his head off in the EDG backstage area, took a closer look and realized that every word on the screen conveyed a single meaning—solo tonight.

"Little Ran got to show off, but I'm the one suffering."

Deft shook his head helplessly. If he refused, Imp would probably charge straight into their club.

At that moment, the audience at the interview on-site and in the Livestream room were laughing so hard they could not close their mouths. Some were wildly slapping their thighs in front of their screens.

I'm dying, Imp is fucking furious.

Inferior to Deft? If I were Imp, I'd want to kill someone too.

Imp: Ah xiba, what kind of champion is that pilot Deft? I beat Deft up in ranked games!

This guy really knew how to stir things up. One sentence had stabbed straight into Imp's heart.

I spat out my drink from laughing. Losing the match was nothing, but after hearing that, Imp's Defense broke right there on the spot.

Red Temperature Value +432

Red Temperature Value +349

At the interview desk, Yu Shuang's face was filled with disbelief before the corners of her mouth turned bitter.

Great. Countless Netizens were about to come after her again.

Looking at the sly grin on Chu Ran's face, Yu Shuang forced out a smile. "Player Easy is quite humorous. Then, last question: today, we saw that you were highly proficient with Camille and pulled off all kinds of eye-catching plays in the match. However, before the match began, many viewers believed you were not very practiced with Camille and would not bring her into a professional game, yet you ended up astonishing so many people."

"And this champion has been out for less than a month. May I ask how Player Easy practiced this champion? Do you have any unique tricks to share with our viewers?"

Chu Ran nodded, then slowly said, "There's really no trick to it. This champion is simple. Whether you can win lane or not, when it comes to teamfights, if you see the AD carry, E-flash over and use your Ultimate Ability to trap the AD carry."

"Then you can treat the AD carry like a stray dog by the roadside and kick them to death with both feet. To sum it up, randomly trap a dog in a cage, then beat it senseless."

"Uh..." Yu Shuang's expression stiffened. She felt that Chu Ran was implying something, but she had no proof.

The many viewers in the Livestream room immediately connected the dots, and the bullet comments began flying across the screen!

?????

How bold! Does this guy have a death wish? He's implying that god again?

Comparing AD carries to dogs—other than god, which other AD carry gets called a dog?

Hahaha, this guy is definitely implying it. If he isn't, I'll eat shit.

Implying? He stated it outright!

Many imperial scum had not caught on at first, but after seeing those bullet comments, they immediately understood. Then their anger exploded.

Ran Chu! Fuck your malle gobi.

You're the dog! Your whole family is dogs! Mad Little Dog is an affectionate nickname, a nickname honoring Little Dog's outstanding performance! Are you fucking sick?

Seriously, I'm just a regular passerby. I never cared about these players' private lives before, but after seeing Ran Chu treat Little Dog like this, I looked into Little Dog's achievements and instantly became a fan.

Give Ran Chu a hundred years and he still would not reach Little Dog's level.

He instantly defeated Imp once with Camille and he's already making such a fuss. Is Imp even worthy of being compared to Little Dog? He's just a Lucky Champion.

Uzi in favorable circumstances, Jian Zihao in adversity, Mad Little Dog in desperate circumstances. Why isn't someone like Ran Chu dead yet?

In favorable circumstances, I farm minions; in adversity, I die instantly; in desperate circumstances, I go red. That's the great World's Number One ADC!

Hahaha, stop talking. Keep going and the imperial scum will get your account banned.

At this moment, Uzi, who was packing his things at the Commentary Desk, heard Chu Ran's words. His already gloomy face instantly turned bright red, like a red-skinned duck.

"Uzi, are you alright?"

Miller was both alarmed and amused when he saw Uzi like this.

So red... wouldn't his brain get fried?

"I'm fine." Uzi let out a long breath. He was truly stifled with anger, clenched his fists, and immediately headed for the RNG Club.

Xiao Hu, I'm fucking coming.

At the RNG Club, Xiao Hu heard Chu Ran's interview through the Livestream room. His face changed drastically as he lowered his head and looked at his thigh.

He knew that his thigh was about to become someone's punching bag again.

After the interview ended, Chu Ran returned backstage and found Abu and the others looking at him strangely, making his body curl up instinctively.

"What are you doing?"

Abu and the others looked at one another before ultimately falling silent. Only Meiko nodded and replied, "Fuck! Brother Ran, wear your long johns inside out tonight."

"Get lost!"

With Chu Ran's laugh and scold, everyone excitedly rushed off toward the restaurant.

By the time they were eating, Weibo's trending searches had already exploded.

Chu Ran's performance in the two matches against LGD today had shocked the LPL and sparked hot discussion among countless Netizens.

#So Camille can be played like this? Easy's Camille demolished LGD!#

#The Sword Immortal title has changed hands, Easy taught Jinoo a lesson from both sides!#

#EDG's rookie top laner shocks the LPL again. Where will Mouse go from here?#

#EDG top laner Player Easy implies that Uzi is a stray dog by the roadside!#

#IM top laner AJ confidently claims he can defeat Easy!#

"Brother Ran, the moment I opened Weibo, every headline was about you. You've completely become famous in the LPL. Aren't you excited at all?"

Meiko sighed. When he had first debuted, he had never received such massive attention. After playing just one match, countless people had flamed him, and he had quietly shed little pearls by himself in a corner.

Compared with Chu Ran, it was like comparing a small witch to a great wizard.

Was this the difference in talent?

"Oh." Chu Ran nodded. "What's there to get excited about? Do you get excited when you eat or drink water?"

"Little Ran, if you're not excited about this, what would excite you?" Ming Kai asked with a smile.

Chu Ran thought for a few seconds, then grinned. "Watching movies for two hours late at night."

"..."

Abu and the others stared at one another, nearly choking on their water as they all gave Chu Ran a thumbs up.

Even Ming Kai's jaw dropped. He had thought he was the one who acted the coolest and said the dirtiest jokes in EDG or even the LPL, but there was actually someone even better?

He gave Chu Ran a thumbs up. "Little Ran, you're this. I wouldn't even help an old lady who fell down, but I respect you."

"Like you could help her up anyway."

Chu Ran gave Ming Kai an eye roll, then sent out a long string of soldier emojis wearing green helmets in Sun Yalong's livestream room, leaving Meiko utterly confused.

"Brother Ran, why did you send those emojis in Sun Yalong's Livestream room?"

"You'll understand one day. I hope he understands my heartfelt intentions."

After eating and drinking their fill, Chu Ran returned to the club and opened his Weibo. He directly ignored the pile of red notification dots, making Deft and the others' Scalps Tingle.

There was actually someone in this world who could ignore all those red dots.

Ridiculous.

"Little Ran, come Duo queue."

"Wait, I'll post on Weibo first."

"You're not going to start a fight with AJ, are you?" Abu suddenly walked over to Chu Ran, his expression grave. "Someone deliberately pushed that narrative. AJ wasn't targeting you. He's doing fine in Incredible Miracle, so don't overthink it."

Chu Ran was taken aback. "Why would I target him?"

"That's good."

Abu nodded and was about to turn away when he heard Chu Ran speak again. "AJ isn't qualified."

Suddenly, Abu staggered. He turned back to look at Chu Ran with confusion, his face awkward. "AJ is actually pretty good. How is he bad? If I hadn't discovered you, I might even have considered promoting him to the first team."

"He's one of us. Say less of that kind of thing in the future."

Abu was speechless. Chu Ran truly would not stop until he said something shocking. If those words reached AJ's ears, even if the online drama was fake right now, it would become real.

"Don't misunderstand. I didn't say AJ was trash."

"I'm just saying all the domestic top laners in the LPL are trash. Oh, and the mid laners too."

Pfft!

In an instant, the entire EDG training room fell deathly silent, while Mouse looked especially displeased.

He had only won a few matches and was already this arrogant. What would happen in the future?

Chu Ran merely shrugged indifferently. In this era, a whole bunch of domestic LPL top laners could not even understand how to play Jayce. In later generations, there were even people who could not figure out Gnar after an entire season and got whipped around like spinning tops, yet they were considered elite top laners in the LPL.

Chu Ran felt he had said nothing wrong. Domestic top laners still needed him to save them.

Abu's expression became incredibly awkward. He should not have spoken up. He had known perfectly well that Chu Ran never had anything nice to say.

If those words got online, wouldn't the drama explode?

"Don't say that. Isn't the LPL currently learning from many top LCK top laners' playstyles?"

"Have they learned it?"

Chu Ran scratched his head and laughed. Seeing Abu and the others staring at him in shock, he immediately waved his hand. "That's why there's no need to learn from LCK top laners. Give me time, and I'll surpass those LCK top laners!"

Hiss—!

Ming Kai and the others sharply inhaled, feeling that Chu Ran was arrogant beyond all limits, yet also feeling that this youthful arrogance was not such a bad thing.

If someone was young but had no edge at all, could they still be called young?

"None of what was just said is allowed to get out. Whoever leaks it gets fired."

Abu was numb. He somewhat regretted his decision to recruit Chu Ran to EDG, feeling as though he had not recruited a top laner, but an uncle.

Of course, there was a traitor within EDG!

Before Abu said that, Mouse had already relayed Chu Ran's words to Incredible Miracle's top laner, AJ.

AJ: "Ah Guang, do you take me for an idiot? You're afraid he'll take your starting lineup spot, so you're deliberately trying to sow discord?"

Mouse: "I'm a dog if I'm lying. Just tell me, do you want to prove yourself? Do you want to join the first team? If you do, defeat him."

At that moment, inside Incredible Miracle's training room.

AJ looked thoughtfully at the message Mosue had sent him. He would definitely be willing to join the first team. Back then, he had only played on the first team for a short time before being sent down, but now he felt that he had settled down.

In plain terms, he felt that he had grown much stronger.

Putting everything else aside, exposure and treatment were simply not on the same level. Most of the people at Incredible Miracle wanted to join the main roster. To be honest, the second team was dispensable to EDG, and it might be sold off like merchandise one day.

AJ then looked again at the message Mouse had sent him.

"He doesn't have a deep Champion Pool. Fiora, Camille, and then a few tanks. When you play him, just ban a few of his signature picks. Brother, I believe in you. Good luck."

AJ: "Even though I know you're trying to protect your starting lineup spot, I'll take this attempt to drive a wedge between us. Just watch my performance then. He dared to say all domestic LPL top laners are trash, so I'll show him what it means that there's always someone better."

Seeing AJ agree, a smile immediately appeared at the corner of the mouth. Looking at Chu Ran's figure as he edited his Weibo post, Mouse inwardly grumbled.

"Sorry, but I want the starting lineup too."

As long as AJ could defeat Chu Ran, with a second-team top laner beating a first-team top laner, Abu would definitely reconsider the starting top laner.

Even if Chu Ran was not immediately replaced, Mouse would have chances to play in the future. Otherwise, based on the strength and popularity Chu Ran had displayed, Mouse really would end up like Tong Yang, watching the water dispenser.

Who would want to go pro only to end up watching the water dispenser?

Mouse had at least made contributions and bled for EDG!

At the same time, at the RNG Club base.

Xiao Hu clutched his thigh and continuously wailed. After venting his anger, Uzi left directly, like a scumbag who had started and abandoned a relationship. Anyone who did not know better would think he had secretly made his girlfriend get an abortion behind Netizens' backs.

But suddenly, Mala Xiang Guo cried out, "That Ran Chu bastard posted on Weibo again."

Thump~

Uzi frowned, his body instantly jolting. Seeing Mala Xiang Guo trying to suppress his smile, his face darkened again.

Fuck!

Was it that funny?

He then tremblingly opened Weibo, found Chu Ran's latest post, and his pupils abruptly contracted. From his neck to his little fatty face, he visibly reddened as he panted wildly through his nostrils!

EDG-Easy:

We won again today. I don't know what to say, so let me tell everyone a joke.

At a hospital, a doctor asked a Kid who had four fingers amputated how he felt after the surgery.

Kid:

Many years later, someone asked the now-grown-up Kid why he had cut off four fingers back then.

Kid fell into recollection and slowly forced a few words out through his teeth—because five fingers weren't enough!

"Ran Chu!!!"

Uzi roared in the RNG training room with a red face, his expression terrifying.

Xiao Hu suppressed his laughter when he saw the enraged Uzi and immediately put on a serious face, weakly pulling back his thigh. "Ran Chu really is sick. Uzi, don't pay attention to him. He's just a clown chasing clout."

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

At that moment, Uzi was already filled with stifled rage. He had known Chu Ran would post on Weibo to settle accounts with him after winning today, because before the match, he had posted on Weibo to strongly support LGD. But he had not expected Chu Ran to settle accounts in this way.

His fists rained down on Xiao Hu's thigh, leaving Xiao Hu angry but unwilling to speak.

"Fuck, the next match is Incredible Miracle against EDG. Can AJ fucking win? This lord just wants to see Ran Chu get utterly destroyed!"

Chu Ran's Weibo post was like a deep-sea bomb, adding fuel to Weibo's already blazing popularity.

Only a few minutes after the post was sent out, it had directly exploded.
