You call this thing stable?

Although it seemed a bit superfluous.

But once guessed correctly, the effect might be much greater than he imagined.

In fact, at this moment, WBG's jungle and support did indeed place a ward in the bot lane, waiting in the bush in front of V5's second turret and by the frog statue a wall away, waiting for EZ to come out.

This move by both sides completely stunned the audience watching from the sidelines.

[Are they using hacks?]

[Holy crap, how did they predict that? They dodged that too?]

[To this day, we still don't know how many things AK has running on his computer.]

[I don't know about anything else, but I know he must be amazing at playing Nasus, he's so damn Steady!]

WBG couldn't wait for the ADC to return to lane, but Huan Feng always had to recall after pushing the wave. They had calculated this wave: as long as the jungle and support could force the enemy ADC's Flash, then the next wave, when he returned to lane without the support present, they could dive EZ again and then mindlessly farm him in the bot lane.

However...

"Why hasn't the enemy EZ come out for so long?"

"Maybe they don't have enough gold? Are they waiting for a 150 gold potion?" Huan Feng's tone was a bit uncertain. Given the waiting time, it would be enough to walk back to the bot lane, let alone reach their teammates' ambush position.

"Could there be a ward here?"

"Impossible. Where would they get so much vision in the early game? Even if there was, with such a big minion wave, I don't believe they wouldn't be tempted." Huan Feng's tone was very certain. No matter what type of ADC, they wouldn't ignore such a large minion wave unless they had truly quit drugs.

However...

Just 0.5 seconds before his recall finished, the EZ they had been waiting for so desperately, the one their jungle and support had been waiting for, inexplicably appeared behind his position.

Was it an illusion?

How could that be?

EZ must have finally gotten enough gold in the fountain and just came out of base. How could he possibly be behind him?

Huan Feng comforted himself like this, but it wasn't until he successfully returned to base and saw an EZ icon appear on the minimap at his recall location that the minds of WBG's jungle and support simultaneously crashed.

Why was EZ at that location!!!

You could say EZ lost minion waves, but thanks to the super minion, the loss wasn't too significant.

But compared to the time WBG spent waiting to ambush and send the enemy back to base, EZ had a massive gain this wave. More importantly, EZ had now circled back to his own turret with both Flash and E skill still available. How could they kill him now?

Dive the turret?

That's just ridiculous!

"Good heavens... WBG's bot lane has completely collapsed this wave."

The caster, Wawa, couldn't help but feel sorry for WBG. Three people were pushing the wave, not farming jungle, not recalling, all just hoping to completely crush the enemy bot lane this wave.

In the end, the enemy ADC didn't collapse, but they did. Their plan to ambush and crush the enemy backfired. WBG's early game tempo was completely ruined!

"Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered something. After the Demacia Cup, I chatted with JKL from TES. We occasionally talked about V5's AK. Do you know what he told me?"

"What did he say?"

"He said that V5's bot lane ADC gave him a lot of pressure. It wasn't the pressure from a rookie's unique mechanics and impact, but rather that during laning, he felt like he was laning against a turret because the enemy bot lane was just too Steady."

"Oh, this."

'Turret-style ADC' was Luo Zhen's evaluation of all the ADCs he had faced. Of course, Huan Feng didn't know this. Huan Feng only had a nodding acquaintance with Deng Huang, JKL, and LWX. An ADC who embarrassed himself in the World Championship finals due to a phobia of centipedes wouldn't get into JKL's circle.

But LWX and JKL's relationship was different. They were genuine friends and both were World Champions. After JKL noticed LWX's shadow in Luo Zhen during the Demacia Cup, he contacted him via WeChat that night after the match.

As for what they did, who knows? Maybe it was a loser eats leftovers.

When Luo Zhen returned to the bot lane and saw the enemy support finally rejoining the lane with only level three, he couldn't hold back his emotions and burst into laughter.

"Look at the enemy support's level, I knew this guy was definitely trying to ambush me in the jungle just now."

"Good heavens, you guessed right."

Karsa also felt Luo Zhen's sixth sense was incredible. Not only did Rakan's level indicate a lot, but after Luo Zhen suspected an ambush, he directly invaded the enemy's top jungle. From the jungle monsters that hadn't been cleared yet, it could be roughly determined that Luo Zhen's sixth sense was correct again. The jungler really seemed to be in the bot lane.

"Of course, they have no idea how good I am. Whenever I encounter such a tricky situation, I really miss 'Growing up happy and healthy,' and 'I am the mother of the dragon's nest, don't forget my treasure!'"

"???"

Chapter 24: The Moment I Picked Up My Calculator

After Luo Zhen successfully dodged WBG's meticulously planned ambush, WBG's tempo began to collapse.

In the top lane, a three-man dive killed Theshy's Sion, and Jayce happily took tower plates to quickly accumulate gold. In the mid lane, Azir used his long range to pressure Corki, and Angel's pseudo-earthbound spirit passive was directly beaten into a real earthbound spirit. In the bot lane, they simply had no answer for EZ.

They could push the wave.

They could let him take tower plates.

But if they wanted to lower his HP and dive him? Sorry, they wouldn't get the slightest opportunity.

As the saying goes, a man's knees are worth gold, and one is forced to go against their will. When faced with a situation beyond expectations, Luo Zhen's reaction was to play it safe when necessary.

Of course, he was actually quite restrained.

If he had been as shameless as that person and built an armor-piercing EZ, he wouldn't have feared facing them even in a 1v3. But he couldn't, because this game he had to contribute some poke damage output.

"I'm back~"

After touring the top lane, Leona finally returned to the bot lane. With Leona by his side, Luo Zhen could finally lower his guard a little and slowly moved from the wall towards the mid lane.

Unlike Rookie's consistent erratic play near the wall, Luo Zhen had also found his absolute domain in his LPL career.

That's right, it was the wall.

Perhaps it was the invisible buff from his years of playing as an "Ambush Specialist," but now, whenever he stayed near a wall, he felt his skill accuracy was incredibly powerful. He could be said to have unknown strength, becoming stronger when near a wall.

"You're back? That's great. Help me block the minion wave, I'm going back to update my items."

"Huh? What can you even buy at this point? Boots?" PPGOD was a bit surprised. You don't have that much gold, can you really buy something big after going back?

"No, it's Shy Blade."

Having played solo in the bot lane for so long, his experience points were far ahead of the other three in the bot lane. He wasn't worried about experience, but Leona had roamed so far and barely gained any experience, and her level was now falling behind the enemy support.

So, he'd let her catch up. He'd go back and update his farming items.

Boots (increase movement speed to dodge Rakan's W) + Shy Blade (quickly farm and update economy) + Control Ward (core item for the Steady build ADC).

As for Tear of the Goddess?

He had bought it as his starting item. In the new mythic item meta, EZ rarely started without Tear of the Goddess.

Then, he'd just play passively and see if the enemy would go for the Rift Herald fight.

If the enemy bot lane went for the Rift Herald fight, they would engage. Without level six, Xayah and Rakan would be useless. With the top, mid, and jungle already at a disadvantage, if the enemy dared to contest, they would wipe them out.

If they didn't go?

If they didn't?

They would still have the support move towards the Rift Herald's position to protect it while continuing to gank Theshy, letting him truly feel the blessings of an old teammate, and completely cripple WBG's frontline. With the enemy's lineup, once Sion's development was destroyed and he couldn't tank, V5's three-poke composition would become WBG's nightmare, one that couldn't be saved no matter what.

At seven and a half minutes, WBG gave up on contesting the Rift Herald, but Sofm managed to steal the Elemental Dragon in the bot jungle, resulting in a resource exchange.

Just past nine minutes, the mid and jungle duo ganked top again, resulting in Sion's death.

At ten minutes thirty seconds, the jungler placed a Rift Herald in the mid lane, forcing WBG's main players back to the mid lane and relieving pressure on the bot lane. At this time, V5's outer bottom lane turret still had three plates.

At fourteen minutes, after another WBG encirclement, EZ finally died, and V5's outer bottom lane turret was officially destroyed.

And during these nearly eight minutes, Luo Zhen had only done one thing: free up the support and solo the bot lane.

It seemed like nothing special, as he was playing EZ and only needed to ensure he didn't die. But everything is relative. Similarly, with multiple people ganking side lanes and taking turrets for economy, Theshy's record at this time had already reached 0/4, even approaching 0/5.

Even more terrifying was that he wasn't playing a turret-destroying Sion that was gifting kills, but pure deaths from being dived under the turret.

It could only be said that Sofm's old habit had resurfaced.

With the early game tempo being poor, Sofm once again reverted to being a jungler who only jungled, much to the dismay of the WBG fans below the stage, who were getting heated.

[Top lane, save us, save us Sofm!!!]

[If Sofm were not born, the LPL jungle would be dark forever. Jungle is here!]

[What are they even playing? The mid laner is an earthbound spirit in mid lane, the jungler is farming WeChat steps in the jungle, the support and ADC are two against one in the bot lane. It took 14 minutes to destroy the enemy outer bot lane turret?]

[This game's feast is not bland; multiple WBG chefs are cooking.]

Of course, if you only saw this and believed it, then fellow readers, you haven't played Apex enough.

The true meaning of EZ soloing the bot lane was: acting alone to flank and distract the enemy, expending ammo, and making a great contribution, while the teammates just picked up a few kills ().

It wasn't until 15 minutes, when both teams left the laning phase and entered the kiting phase, that countless viewers finally understood the purpose of V5's ganks on top.

The firepower was too fierce!

EZ's QW, Jayce's EQ, and Azir's Sand Soldier Q, standing in the mid lane, created a triple firepower suppression. The visual sensation was equivalent to the liege picking Yuan Shao, and then two loyal ministers, Guo Jia and Xun Yu, constantly dealing cards to the liege.

"Alright, brothers, hit them hard with this firepower! Blast them!"

Luo Zhen was gradually becoming more aggressive.

His passivity in the early game was a tactical necessity, just like how I wrote the Tao Te Ching not because I wanted to, but because I was forced to by Yin Xi, the official at Hangu Pass, who kept me there to write it. It was all out of necessity.

But once the most difficult period passed, he had to return to his unruly self, otherwise, others would think he had no temper.

"Hahaha, I can feel Xiao Zhen's temper. It's okay, bro will help you blast him!"

The heavily farmed 369 found an angle and switched to cannon form, using EQ. The fierce cannon fire pierced through the minions, directly targeting WBG's Corki.

"Boom~"

This shot, combined with the poke damage from the preceding poke, directly blasted WBG's Corki to low health.

Angel couldn't withstand it and decisively used W to retreat, preparing to recall. Considering V5 still had EZ's ultimate ability, he hesitated for a moment before finding a relatively safe spot to recall.

However...

At this moment, in V5's team voice chat:

"Xiao Zhen, what do you say?"

"No problem, I've locked onto the enemy's position." While silently counting down the recall timer, Luo Zhen looked at the enemy's high ground fountain and began to find an angle, muttering, "The moment I picked up my calculator, I will shatter the darkness with lightning!"

"Thirty-six formations unified, disperse the great path of peace."

"Go! 100,000 Volts!!!"

Chapter 25: Have a Good Meal

"V5's poke firepower is so fierce, WBG feels like they can't withstand it."

"Coach Homme's favorite poke system this season, it seems he's also developed this type of system into the team's common tactic."

"This shot! Nice, 369's shot directly crippled Angel. Can they do anything around Angel recalling?"

"Wait, AK seems to have an idea, huh... this ultimate?!"

As countless audience members outside the screen watched EZ pull his ultimate to full draw, aiming at the perfect angle, and releasing it, countless viewers felt their spirits jolt.

Is it coming?

V5's new ADC's unreasonable non-targeted skill accuracy, is it going to appear at this moment too!?

Golden precise bullet screen fiercely shot towards WBG's base. This time, the trajectory was chosen by Luo Zhen specifically to have the ultimate fly from the jungle position, maximizing the avoidance of detection and reaction from the opponent. In the few seconds after it was fired, all of V5 almost simultaneously stopped attacking and focused their cameras on the moving precise bullet screen.

Will it hit?

3000 yards...

2000 yards...

1000 yards...

The moment Angel's low-health Corki successfully recalled to the fountain and opened his eyes, before him, a precise bullet screen the size of a Moon Fang Heaven Piercer completely devoured him.

Ultimate ability, prediction successful!
