You call this thing stable?

"So, you're the 'Steady' AD, always in the enemy's backline's face."

"Isn't this typical? Suppress their health with a machine gun, then switch to melee and stab them. Haven't you guys ever played Biohazard (dog head)?"

A 1 for 4 trade.

Even though Angel landed a great ultimate with full damage, and the others followed up with crowd control, the direct consequence of the AD being knocked away was that WBG lacked sustained damage to clean up the engage. Thus, WBG exploded.

The remaining four players directly turned to Baron Nashor. When the poke-heavy artillery system gained an advantage, coupled with the minion wave pushed by Baron BUFF, the enemy not only couldn't withstand the poke damage but also couldn't push the buffed minion wave.

So, what are they waiting for?

"Though the people's army is scattered, they can still shake the trees."

"Gather the people of the world, and form an army of the masses."

"This humble Taoist, Zhang Liang, bids you all to die!"

"Charge!"

Under Luo Zhen's overly dramatic words, the V5 members, as if injected with chicken blood, outputted furiously on the battlefield.

When the artillery flow turned into a troop spawning flow, and the AWP was replaced by the Dongfeng series, WBG finally couldn't withstand V5's assault. In rounds of roaring artillery fire, they slowly turned into dust on Summoner's Rift.

2 to 1.

V5's entire team exerted effort, successfully securing victory this round.

The moment WBG's Nexus was completely destroyed, Theshy stared blankly at the pitch-black screen and the ID marked as V5's Rookie on it. His eyes couldn't help but fill with a trace of remembrance and daze. He had thought they would play professionally together in IG until they couldn't anymore, but he never expected that the former Three Cs would eventually succumb to reality and be forced to go their separate ways.

However...

Thinking that he could have a small gathering with Rookie after the match, Theshy couldn't help but secretly chuckle again.

What?

The match?

Was that thing as important as his teammates?

No way.

Since Luo Zhen performed exceptionally well in this BO3 round, everyone was eager to rush back to the base for soup. Luo Zhen, however, was unexpectedly stopped by the event's interview group.

"Do you really have to interview me?"

"Yes, it's all part of the process. I'll ask you some questions about what happened in the match, just answer them as they come." This time, even the interviewer noticed Luo Zhen's eagerness to leave. Thinking to save time, they decided to just get straight to it, not bothering with a script.

And so...

Q1: Player AK, we noticed that in these three matches, the coach gave you a farming-oriented bot lane combination. You successfully withstood the pressure, but we're curious, what were you thinking when the coach gave you these combinations?

A1: Just slacking off. As everyone knows, slacking off is the mother of giving up, giving up is the mother of failure, and failure is the mother of success. Therefore, slacking off equals success. Once I understood this, I knew all I had to do was survive without falling behind and let my teammates carry.

Interview editor: ?

Q2: Then, for the EZ ultimate ability in the third game, we saw you directly target WBG's fountain. Was that ultimate calculated beforehand?

A2: Oh, I just guessed. After all, you know the probability in the game's card pool is already 65,000 now. I figured if I just threw out an ultimate randomly, the chance would be higher than that, right? What if it hit? So I threw it.

Interview editor: ???

Q3: Then, in the last dragon teamfight, that dive onto the enemy ADC...

A3: There were a bunch of fighters going at it in the front line, like a battle of the gods. I figured if I, a squishy ADC, went in, I'd be instantly deleted. So I went to bully the other squishy ADC next to me. Is there a problem with that?

Interview editor: ????????

After three rounds of questioning, the interview editor's psychological defenses were completely shattered. The livestream chat was going wild. In the past, Luo Zhen's responses were super formulaic, usually resulting in little entertainment value.

No one expected that, under the anxiety of rushing back to the club, he would completely lose his cool and start "letting loose."

The entertainment value was undeniably explosive.

In less than half an hour, as the next regular match for another team began, the entire V5 team had already returned to their club, happily enjoying their nourishing soup.

Soup ingredients abound, nourishing players say:

One scoop of clear, two scoops of Tang, three scoops back to Qin Shi Huang.

Four scoops of Shang, five scoops of Xia, six scoops back to Shennongjia.

Seven or eight scoops of the Jurassic, nine scoops of creation and the opening of heaven and earth.

It was truly authentic~

While eating, the team also listened to Coach Homme review their tactics.

In such a comfortable environment, Luo Zhen felt infinitely grateful that he had transmigrated into a parallel world, and that it was indeed a parallel world.

As everyone knows, transmigrators are the most likely to die in novels, especially in domestic Chinese transmigration novels. Many people think they'll become powerful lords after transmigrating, but in reality... the consequences of rashly transmigrating could be like this:

"X years after the virus outbreak, the population has plummeted to 10%," you might be part of the 90%.

"The ancient prehistoric war, suffering of living beings, the human race declining," you might be the suffering.

"XXX waved their hand, a streak of energy shot out, hitting the XX continent, countless beings turned into blood mist and were absorbed by XXX."

"The seal/passage/entrance was completely broken, the current world connected with the XX realm, countless cities turned into dead cities."

Compared to those things above, isn't he much more comfortable now?

Of course, while listening to the coach's review for a living, he didn't forget to practice his fundamentals. As those mystical novels say, the way to enhance one's strength is to integrate all cultivation techniques into every aspect of daily life.

And so...

A step back to cancel the food intake's recovery animation, a head shake to cancel the chewing's recovery animation.

Looking up to apply the heat resistance Buff, chopsticks roaming the dining table searching for the engagement timing.

This wave.

This wave is a top-tier ADC's training routine ()

Chapter 28: I Reflect on Myself Three Times a Day

The brilliant performances in several consecutive matches had caused Luo Zhen's fame to grow with the Spring Split. Of course, what fueled it the most wasn't that, but rather Rookie posting a photo late at night of IG's Three Cs having a late-night snack offline. Countless onlookers, through this photo, keenly discovered Luo Zhen heartily eating hot pot in the corner.

The direct consequence of this discovery was that he didn't seek popularity, but popularity found him instead.

It was actually quite simple.

Theshy and Rookie had arranged for a late-night snack after reviewing their match. By chance, TES's match was scheduled after theirs, so JKL could join after his game. Then, Rookie thought about it and decided to bring Luo Zhen along as well.

On one hand, he thought their own ADC was too thin and needed to eat more to gain weight. If the ADC wasn't plump, it was truly a lack of security for his teammates.

On the other hand... he actually wanted to see if JKL could give Luo Zhen some specialized training like LWX.

As for whether he had the idea of showing off his new ADC to the other two?

Well, who knows.

And so, the four of them got together. Originally, Luo Zhen had intentionally tried to avoid the photo, feeling it was already strange enough for him to be there when the Incheon Three Cs gathered, and he needed to be mindful of public opinion. However, at that moment, he happened to spot a piece of tripe in the pot that had been cooking for a long time and wanted to grab it. As a result, in that very instant, Rookie had already taken the picture, and it also captured half of his face.

In just one night, public opinion on the entire internet exploded!

[What the hell is going on???]

[I can understand a celebration banquet, and I can understand the Incheon Three Cs, but I can't quite understand why another ADC is mixed in with the Incheon Three Cs.]

[Wait, why does this new ADC from V5 give me the feeling of a peerless genius being favored by great old monsters of the martial world, all wanting to teach him their martial arts and pass on their mantle? Is it just my illusion?]

[Damn, now that you mention it, I'm starting to feel it too.]

[@XiangxiangQAQ, hurry up, or your disciple is gone!]

So, the question is, what was Luo Zhen doing after the late-night snack?

Well, he was indeed undergoing specialized training by JKL. Since he was idle anyway, playing Rank was to maintain his feel, and stomping weak opponents or training rookies was also to maintain his feel. So why not choose to stomp rookies?

JKL was thus pleased and accepted, but he had a small request.

He took V5's support, PPGOD, with him, and had Luo Zhen team up with TES's support, Zhuo. Finally, the four of them engaged in a custom bot lane matchup.

As for the effect...

By the time Rookie and the others learned the result, Luo Zhen had already requested a psychologist from Coach Homme and locked himself in his room, depressed for a whole morning.

"What happened?"

Everyone looked at PPGOD, who was dazed beside them. He didn't seem to have any problems, so why did the bot lane duo inexplicably go crazy in just one night?

Seeing this, PPGOD's expression was also a bit unusual. After a slight hesitation, he slowly pointed a finger towards his teammate's position.

"What do you mean, they only won one game? Is the gap that big?"

"No, they didn't win a single game. He was stomped for the entire night. I guess he's doubting life right now."

"???"

Really.

If they hadn't swapped supports and only focused on laning, Luo Zhen would never have imagined such a huge gap between himself and JKL. The suffocating tempo with full aggression, just making him pay close attention to not be zoned out by the opponent's range between last hits, took great effort. Not to mention having a support searching for opportunities nearby.

And Brother Zhuo...

It can only be said that precisely because he had played with Brother Zhuo, he felt even more that JKL deserved to be among the top few ADCs in the world.

He's seriously too amazing, he can even carry that!

When Luo Zhen emerged from his room again, even PPGOD, who knew him best, could feel the change bursting forth from him. The stubbornness and passion unique to a rookie had not diminished at all; instead, it burned even more fervently.

"I've figured it out," Luo Zhen said in a deep voice, looking at his teammates.

"From today onwards, I will reflect on myself three times a day: density, accuracy, and range."

"If they are far from it, if the density is insufficient, the range is insufficient, or the coverage uniformity is insufficient, then it will be directly modified!" As he said this, Luo Zhen even gritted his teeth.

If he had won even one game last night, he wouldn't have lost every single one. Now, he was just like those who stayed up all night online only to suffer consecutive losses, his mind filled with finding an opportunity to secure that first win.

Only when they saw his unconvinced expression did the V5 members heave a sigh of relief.

It's fine, as long as his mentality didn't break, that's good.

To put it bluntly, a large part of why they couldn't win now was due to the short amount of time. His talent hadn't been fully converted into strength yet; all that was missing was time.

If his Dao heart were destroyed, that would be a big problem.

JKL's specialized training was merely a small interlude, but even so, Luo Zhen learned a lot from it.

If learning from LWX was about how to quickly become a qualified LPL pro player, then JKL undoubtedly made Luo Zhen go further and further down the "Tower ADC" path, even forcefully beating back his recently inflated mentality.

And so...

Just as the whole world was frantically searching for Luo Zhen and trying to find out what exactly had happened, Luo Zhen's Weibo suddenly updated: "From today onwards, no women in my heart, hand speed will naturally be divine. I'm sorry, but I'm temporarily not interested in ordinary humans, so please stop bothering me. However, if any of you are aliens, people from the future, from another world, or psychics, feel free to come find me."

This message directly left countless onlookers dumbfounded.

[???]

[Old memes suddenly attacking me, what year is it?]

[This style of statement, Karsa, is that you again!]

[Oh no, it's one thing for the champion ADC to rush to become AK's final disciple, but now you, an old veteran of the jungle role, are joining the fun?]

Luo Zhen's account had long since become a peculiar indicator in the current scene.

It wasn't that he often posted inappropriate things on his personal account, but fans who followed his Weibo account would notice that as he browsed, his following list would gain a few goddesses, and then a few more goddesses would be added. Slowly, Luo Zhen's account became the esports circle's veteran indicator.

Everyone gradually came to understand this new generation ADC who didn't play mini-games but only played big games; who didn't watch big movies but only watched small movies.

But now... why had he suddenly defected to the anime fandom?

Chapter 29: This is a Renowned Lineage

For the next week, Luo Zhen pushed his training time to the absolute limit.

Although his playstyle was increasingly leaning towards the "Tower ADC" direction, that was only for the early to mid-game. As an ADC, especially in the current meta where the main tempo revolves around mid and jungle, this playstyle was actually the most suitable for match BP.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that he couldn't just stick with this playstyle just because it felt comfortable. He still had to practice it privately.

Since the basic version of his AK combat power couldn't keep up with the strength of those champion ADCs, he might as well go even crazier.

Directly caliber 6.8, recoil be damned!
