With Me Here, Victory Is Guaranteed

With Me Here, Victory Is Guaranteed

"Hello, nice to meet you, bro."

After Zhao Yu and Yuuka got permission, A Shui's voice soon appeared in the voice channel.

"Hello, Shuizi Ge. I'm your fan," Zhao Yu said with a grin.

"Seriously?"

"Reporter Yu Wenbo bringing you this report..."

"Cough, cough, cough, don't mess with me, bro." Hearing that meme, A Shui wore a wry smile.

For some reason, many things happening in the LPL lately had somehow been linked to him, leaving even A Shui himself speechless.

[Hahaha, the AD with a 100% participation rate, right?]

[The streamer really is an A Shui fanboy.]

"Should I introduce you to Yuuka first?" Zhao Yu asked.

"No need, I can do it myself." A Shui sounded brimming with confidence.

[Better not, right? Japanese girls can't understand Chinese. Shuizi Ge should let him translate for you.]

[Do you actually know Japanese, Shuizi Ge?]

"Are you kidding? Do you know how much clout an old-school anime fan has?" A Shui said to the Bullet Screen.

"Fine, then I'll watch Shuizi Ge's performance." Zhao Yu fell silent. He was also curious what A Shui's Japanese would sound like.

"Cough, cough. Konbanwa, watashi wa... um, JackeyLove desu." After thinking hard for a long time, A Shui finally squeezed out a line of clumsy Japanese.

[Hahahahaha, with Japanese at that level, I could do it too.]

[What an old-school anime fan. That's it?]

Hearing A Shui's stumbling Japanese, Zhao Yu was not surprised in the slightest.

If A Shui, as a pro player, were also that good at Japanese, how were other people supposed to live?

"How was that? Not bad, right?" A Shui asked smugly.

"Pretty good. I didn't expect your Japanese to be so standard—authentic Old Tokyo accent." Zhao Yu said, holding back his laughter.

"JackeyLove? Is that Tyou-san's friend's name? It sounds a little strange..." Yuuka said, somewhat confused after hearing A Shui's introduction.

After all, Japanese people did not really play League of Legends, so it was normal that she had never heard of A Shui.

"No, that's his in-game ID. He's a professional League of Legends player. He just won the world championship this year, and he's only seventeen," Zhao Yu explained.

"That's amazing!" Yuuka's eyes widened.

"What did that Japanese girl say?" A Shui could not help asking.

"Didn't you say you could handle it yourself, Shuizi Ge?" Zhao Yu teased.

"I only know how to speak it, not understand it. Hurry up and tell me what she said." A Shui unconsciously bobbed his Big Head, his eyes full of anticipation.

"She asked whether that was your real name. She thought it was a little strange."

"What? Hasn't she heard the legend of the seventeen-year-old world champion?" A Shui looked shocked.

"Japanese people don't pay much attention to League of Legends, but I already told her about you," Zhao Yu explained.

"Good brother!" A Shui laughed, eagerly awaiting praise from the Japanese girl.

"JackeyLove-san, it's nice to meet you. I'm Yuuka. You're the first world champion I've ever met. A champion at seventeen—you really are a genius." Yuuka's introduction and praise arrived right on schedule.

With Zhao Yu translating for him, A Shui let out a silly laugh. It was obvious he had been charmed by the Japanese girl's soft, sweet praise.

[What? Shuizi Ge hasn't fallen for her too, has he?]

[That won't do. Getting obsessed with women right after winning the championship isn't a good thing.]

[Pull yourself together, Shuizi Ge. Let us brothers suffer this hardship in your place!]

"Did she say anything else?" A Shui asked, still wanting more.

"No, she just called you a genius," Zhao Yu said.

"Only that? I thought she'd be more shocked." A Shui sounded a little disappointed.

"Well, they're Japanese. League of Legends itself isn't that popular over there, unlike here, where some people dream of stealing even one championship."

"Cough, cough, cough! Bro! Watch out, or your account will be gone!" A Shui hurriedly stopped Zhao Yu from making such dangerous remarks.

Even though the fans of a certain void champion were far fewer than before, they were still not someone a small streamer like Zhao Yu could afford to provoke.

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. Let's start the game."

Zhao Yu was startled. How had he blurted out what he was thinking? He immediately changed the subject.

The three readied up, and before long, they entered champion select. After thinking for a moment, A Shui moved his mouse over Kaisa.

[Oh? Is Shuizi Ge about to show off?]

[He even picked his championship skin champion. Looks like he's really planning to show off in front of the Japanese girl.]

"Cough, cough, don't talk nonsense. I just wanted to test how the new skin feels," A Shui said awkwardly.

In truth, he really did want to show off in front of the Japanese girl. He had only won the championship recently, and everyone who met him was incredibly excited. Yuuka's mild reaction was the first he had encountered.

Even if, as Zhao Yu said, Japan did not know much about League of Legends, A Shui still wanted to display the strength of a world champion in front of the Japanese girl.

Simply put, he had failed to show off just now, which left him feeling unbalanced. This time, he was going to make it big.

"Eh? Is Tyou-san's friend going to play ADC?" Yuuka asked in confusion.

She had always gone bot lane with Zhao Yu before, but now that A Shui had locked in ADC early, she did not know which role to play.

"Bro, it's fine if I play ADC, right?" After settling on the role, A Shui asked Zhao Yu.

"Sure. We have to respect Shuizi Ge's signature Kaisa." Zhao Yu answered, then spoke to Yuuka in Japanese.

"It's fine. He's a professional. I'll play jungle."

As he spoke, Zhao Yu picked Hecarim for the jungle. At A Shui's request, he also picked Lulu for Yuuka, a champion that did not require much mechanical skill.

"Hehe, this champion is so cute..." The moment they entered the game, Yuuka could not help saying as she watched Lulu waddle along.

Small, adorable champions like this really were irresistible to girls.

"She shouldn't be hard to control, right?" Yuuka asked.

"You just need to find the right moment to use your E to shield the ADC, then use W to interrupt the enemy's skills and poke with Q. Once you have your ultimate, cast it on the ADC when he's about to die," Zhao Yu quietly explained.

"Tyou-san knows so much! Thank you! I think I roughly understand how to play now," Yuuka said, praising Zhao Yu as she spoke.

"No, I've just played a lot," Zhao Yu replied shyly.

A Shui, who had been listening to their conversation the whole time, felt a little awkward. He kept feeling somewhat unnecessary. The two of them spoke so smoothly, while he was like a third wheel.

"What were you two talking about just now?" A Shui asked.

"Nothing much. She's a beginner and doesn't really understand the skills, so I explained them to her," Zhao Yu said.

"Oh, I see... It's fine. Tell her to just play however she wants. With me here, victory is guaranteed!" A Shui declared, patting his chest.

What a joke. On a ghost server worse than even the regional servers, was there any ADC stronger than him? Today, he was going to make the Japanese girl understand just how powerful a professional player really was.
