After he posted a clown and two eye-roll emojis in a row, then casually attached a screenshot of minnaaQAQ's Korean server profile, the Royal Hooligans at the time collectively stopped breathing. A whole batch of them had their defenses shattered, dropping a title called *** Lost, and It's Not ***'s Fault.
Note: "After equipping this title, the team prefix and player ID can be automatically filled in according to reality. It grants the Never Take the Blame buff. No matter how much you feed or disappear during a match, your fans will never blame you after the game. Instead, they will proactively find reasons to dump the blame on someone else on your team."
Xu Junyan had stared at that title for a very, very long time before finally regaining his composure after a lengthy spell of speechlessness.
It should not have been surprising. There were countless GSLs among the Royal Hooligan army to begin with, so what was wrong with shattering the Royal Hooligans' defenses and dropping a few bizarre titles?
After all, wasn't the GSLs' favorite line, "RNG lost, but it wasn't Uzi's fault"?
Still, he was absolutely certain that it was a complete trash title, utterly useless.
Looking at it again now, he still felt it was useless. The title was as idiotic as its GSL owners.
Then what about the other two newly acquired ones?
Xu Junyan narrowed his eyes. Both had dropped after he posted his final Weibo post and completely crushed RNG and the Royal Hooligans.
The first had dropped a title called Don't You Want Your Nationality?
Note: "After equipping this title, when facing opponents of a different nationality from yours, you will become exceptionally powerful. Focus increased by 50%! Overall strength with all champions increased by 50%! Warning: this title has a side effect. After every game, you will gain the 'Will Definitely Flame Someone in Front of Viewers' buff. The buff lasts 10 seconds. In other words, after every game, you will definitely flame someone for 10 seconds!"
After reading it, Xu Junyan was filled with delight. Another title that provided an all-around buff!
This was absolutely a top-tier title. More importantly, he was about to play professionally in the neighboring region, where everyone was a purebred Korean, without even any imports. Wearing this title would be incredibly useful! It was practically a super passive that triggered around the clock.
As for its side effect, Xu Junyan did not take it seriously at all. He was not worried that the side effect attached to the title would turn him into a toxic flamer with terrible character.
Flaming someone after every game, whether it was opponents or teammates, was obviously inappropriate. But he could flame RN beasts! From his perspective, flaming RN beasts was absolutely an act of justice—always an act of justice!
Therefore, the side effect was practically nonexistent to him.
The third title dropped by the latter was called What if I Block Your Contract?
Note: "After equipping this title, the host will gain exceptionally sharp insight into contracts closely tied to their own interests. With this ability, the host will never suffer a loss when signing any contract in the future. At the same time, the host will become especially adept at creating barely detectable contractual loopholes. Thus, when signing contracts with others, the host may take advantage of their inattention and perfectly trap them through the contract. Warning: when activating the second effect, if the Party B signing the contract brings three lawyers, this effect will automatically fail, because there is no way you can trap a Party B who brings three lawyers to sign a contract with you. /shrug"
After reading it, Xu Junyan shook his head speechlessly. Another title that was not particularly useful, yet fit the RN beasts' style perfectly.
From the three title drops this time, Xu Junyan had also learned more about the system's rules for dropping titles. For example, not every title it dropped was useful. Titles like *** Lost, and It's Not ***'s Fault and What if I Block Your Contract? were complete garbage.
Of course, Xu Junyan was also looking forward to finding out what would happen if he shattered a group's defenses too many times. So far, the only targets whose defenses he had shattered twice in a row were Xiaohu and the Royal Hooligans.
For the former, the first title drop had been Spring Tiger Emperor, Summer Trash, while the second had been Dark Peeping! Sharp Eyes.
For the latter, the first title drop had been *** Lost, and It's Not ***'s Fault, while the second had been Don't You Want Your Nationality?
Both drops had been closely connected to the dropper's personal traits, with a very distinct flavor. But after he shattered a target's defenses too many times and all their characteristic titles had been exhausted, what would drop next? Or would nothing drop at all?
Xu Junyan was jolted out of his thoughts by his phone ringtone. Shaking his head, he withdrew his gaze from the air, picked up his phone, and answered it with surprise.
It was someone he had entrusted with handling his travel documents. After he answered, the other person told him that everything had been taken care of.
Xu Junyan was pleasantly surprised. It was done so quickly! Just moments ago, he had told Kim Min-ah that it might take a week at the slowest, or at least three or four days at the earliest.
After chatting briefly with the person, Xu Junyan put away his phone, packed up a few things, and headed out to collect his documents!
He had reached first place on the Korean server, crushed the little Royal Hooligans and RNG, officially signed with SKT, and now obtained his passport and other travel documents. Nearly all his little goals for this stage had been accomplished. As he went out, Xu Junyan felt light all over, in such a good mood that he wanted to hum a tune.
Next, all that remained was going to the LCK, playing well, and continuing to ruthlessly crush RNG and the little Royal Hooligans on his path toward winning the championship.
"Damon, I really need to make sure you remember what I told you that day. You're about to regret it!"
A faint smile curled at Xu Junyan's lips as he muttered to himself, his gaze unconsciously drifting toward the titles floating in the air again.
Ahead, a rather pleasant humming sound drifted over, growing closer and closer. Xu Junyan suddenly snapped back to his senses and saw a girl with her hair in a bun, wearing huge sunglasses, a black-and-white striped T-shirt, and blue jeans. She was humming with her head lowered, focused on pulling a black leather jacket over herself as she walked straight into him!
Xu Junyan's expression changed slightly. Before he could think about why this somewhat short but obviously beautiful girl was charging straight into his chest, he hurriedly turned sideways to dodge, but he was still a step too late!
"Ah~!"
The bun-haired girl slammed her head into Xu Junyan's arm. The huge sunglasses hanging from her nose fell off, and she plopped straight down onto the ground.
As the sunglasses fell away, they revealed a nearly perfect little face. Her skin was as white as snow, delicate enough to seem breakable, tender and luminous like the finest jade. Her eyes were clear and lively, while her delicate nose was charmingly perky.
Sitting on the ground, she seemed a little dazed. When she finally realized what had happened and slowly looked up, meeting Xu Junyan's frowning gaze, she suddenly let out a shriek of "Ah!" and hurriedly covered her face with both hands. A moment later, she quickly drew up her knees and buried her face deeply against them.
Xu Junyan was utterly baffled, having no idea what was wrong with this beautiful bun-haired girl.
Judging by how skillfully she covered her face and buried it in her knees, was she one of those legendary introverts from university personality tests?
After thinking it over, Xu Junyan felt that he bore some responsibility for bumping into her this time—fifty-fifty, perhaps. He bent down and picked up the huge sunglasses that had fallen by his feet. Walking forward, he hesitated for a while before placing them beside her feet rather than handing them directly to her. Nor did he rashly strike up a conversation. After doing that, Xu Junyan straightened up and left for the office building just ahead, where he was to collect his passport.
Behind him, the bun-haired girl, who had buried her excessively beautiful face in her knees, secretly opened a tiny slit between her eyes. Then she opened them a little wider, looked around, and finally raised her head completely.
She looked around once more, feeling relieved yet incredulous as she murmured, "I actually... wasn't recognized?"
