Three Brand-New Titles

Letme's remarks had been nothing if not meticulously calculated. After finishing his sarcastic rant, he directly and forcibly shifted the conflict and focus elsewhere.

The aggrieved RNG fans in the stream thought it over and realized, right, that bastard had deliberately come to farm clout!

In an instant, the chat in Letme's stream surged once more.

"LMAO, I knew it."

"The Ignite dog is here to farm clout~"

"He deliberately sniped Letme? No wonder. Can these clout-chasing dogs just die already? Disgusting!"

"Brothers, don't add him and raid him, and definitely don't search for his stream. He wants to farm clout? We won't give it to him!"

"Right, right! Exactly! Let that clout-chasing dog die! If that idiot dares to edit it into a short video and post it on Douyin or Kuaishou, don't watch it either! Piss him off!"

"To be fair, Junze's mental state is seriously stable. As expected of the LPL's number one top laner. Awesome~!"

In a private booth at Shanhai Internet Cafe in Magic City.

Having just finished a match, Xu Junyan naturally had no idea what bizarre spiritual-victory method Letme and Xiaohu were using to tame the Royal Hooligans over there.

After the game ended, his eyes fixed intently on the LOL client on his computer screen, on the ID minnaQAQ.

But that was not quite right either. Xu Junyan's gaze lacked focus, as though he were staring into empty space.

Title: Tiger Emperor of Spring, Trash of Summer

Description: After equipping this title, your overall proficiency with all champions will rise by one major tier during the spring season. However, note that this title has negative effects. If still equipped during the summer season, your overall proficiency with all champions will drop by one major tier. If equipped during the World Championship, your overall proficiency with all champions will drop by three major tiers, with a chance of triggering certain unexpectedly idiotic plays.

Title: My Hands Are Really Shaking

Description: After equipping this title, as long as you do ten seconds of finger exercises before a match to loosen up your fingers, you will receive the special rule-based buff "2–3 people absolutely cannot catch and kill you" for the next thirty minutes. This title has negative effects. After thirty minutes, the wearer will suffer from shaking hands for one minute. (Friendly reminder: Receiving feedback from teammates while your hands are shaking may randomly reduce the duration of the shaking. Practicing finger exercises regularly also has a chance of randomly reducing the duration.)

Title: Secret Peeping! Keen Eyes

Description: After equipping this title, you will gain a pair of keen eyes capable of instantly and sharply detecting every subtle change in your teammates' expressions, as well as their thoughts, feelings, and intentions. This will allow you to make clearer judgments and reactions regarding the current situation. For example, after confirming that someone on the team has laughed, laughing afterward yourself can ensure your own safety.

Xu Junyan stared at these three brand-new titles for a long time. They had all dropped just now.

The first title had come from the first game, before it had even begun. He had typed a few lines in all chat and apparently broken Xiaohu's mental, which had caused Tiger Emperor of Spring, Trash of Summer to drop.

It was quite an odd title, even tied to the seasons and climate. Still, better than nothing. At least he could genuinely use it during the upcoming spring season.

The second and third titles had both come after he sent the two words "you pro" when the game ended.

The system's notification at the time had been: Letme's mental broke; Xiaohu's mental broke again after already breaking.

"My Hands Are Really Shaking. Keen Eyes."

Xu Junyan chuckled and shook his head. Oddly enough, he found the names of these titles rather meaningful. He liked them.

As for the effects of the latter two titles, Xu Junyan thought they were excellent. Although the second title had side effects, the rule-based buff of "2–3 people absolutely cannot catch and kill you" was absurdly strong.

The final title looked useless at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, if he paired it with the first title he had obtained—Eh~! I Just Won't Ban Galio—it would be invincible.

Eh~! I Just Won't Ban Galio gave him nearly invincible macro awareness, game sense, and other abilities. On that foundation, if he could also see through people's minds at any time, wouldn't he become a true macro genius, a truly terrifying shot-caller in the Rift?

If, when he had only the title Eh~! I Just Won't Ban Galio, Xu Junyan had needed to consider that his overall gameplay ability in macro and shot-calling merely matched Faker and Clearlove, then now he had completely surpassed them. He could even be said to utterly crush them!!

Xu Junyan equipped all three newly dropped titles at once. Retracting his gaze, he grinned and remarked, "What a haul."

All of a sudden, he was looking forward to running into those RNG dogs again on the Korean server. He could stomp them, humiliate them, vent his anger, and get new titles that would make him stronger. It was killing two birds with one stone.

No, more accurately, it was killing three birds with one stone.

Because at the same time, he could climb the ladder by stepping on those useless former RNG teammates. After half a month of secluded grinding, he had successfully reached Challenger—823 LP.

How should that score be evaluated? It looked fairly high, but in reality, it was just so-so. He had only just crossed the threshold into Korean Challenger, making him a genuine low-LP Challenger.

There was no helping it. It was currently preseason, after all. Quite a few Korean Challengers were grinding points like mad to raise their hidden MMR. Combined with the points they had accumulated from the previous season, the current Korean server rank one had an exceptionally high total—2,500 LP.

If he wanted to stomp the current Korean server rank one beneath his feet, then conservatively speaking, he would need at least another half month or so.

"Hm?"

Xu Junyan suddenly let out a soft sound, having noticed the little green friend-request dot on his account flashing again.

His friend requests had exploded after the match. Obviously, they were all raids from diehard Royal Hooligans. He had humiliated Letme and Xiaohu, so how could those loyal and dutiful Royal Hooligans possibly suppress the rage in their hearts?

Therefore, after the game ended, he had calmly rejected them all in one batch.

It was merely the impotent rage of losers. This was only the beginning. Xu Junyan was actually looking forward to the ridiculous sight of them continuing to rage impotently.

After rejecting that batch, nobody added him again. Korean server accounts were unlike Chinese server accounts; getting one came with a certain barrier of difficulty.

Xu Junyan did not find it troublesome. With an exceptionally calm mindset, he opened the friend-request list to reject it, only to find that this applicant's name seemed somewhat familiar.

want to breathe

Translated, it meant "want to breathe."

"The mid laner from last game?"

Xu Junyan remembered at once.

Since it was not one of RNG's bootlicking fans, he did not reject the request. He accepted it, making the player named want to breathe the only friend on this account.

Ding! Almost immediately after he accepted, a new message arrived.

want to breathe: "thank you."

Xu Junyan blinked and sent back a question mark.

Not long afterward, he received the other party's English reply: "Thank you for what happened just now. Thank you for speaking up for me."
