"Oh? That confident?"
From Xu Cheng's concise and swift reply, Factory Director instantly read the other's confidence.
This stirred doubt in his heart—
Could it be that he really knows all of them?
No way.
In a flash, he shook his head again.
As of now, counting the recently released Camille, League of Legends had 134 champions.
Let alone Xu Cheng, even he, or the world's top pro players, couldn't guarantee they knew every champion.
With so many champions, there were always a few whose skills they weren't even familiar with.
[Ming Lian]: "Alright, first game, let's play Udyr. Any problem with that?"
Udyr?
Xu Cheng was indeed taken aback.
Factory Director smirked.
What do you think, youngster? Stumped, huh?
Starting off with a challenge!
Spirit Walker, Udyr!
What kind of champion is this?
In S6, some players didn't even know such a champion existed in LOL...
Yeah, this was a champion at the bottom of the usage list.
The most obscure of the obscure.
Can you play this?
Youngsters need to learn to keep a low profile!
[Damn! Starting off with a challenge, huh?]
[Haha, nice one! Give that Data Monster a good training session! Let him be cocky!]
[Suddenly want to see how the invincible Data Monster gets humbled.]
[What's Udyr... I've never heard of it]
[You fake fan, never heard of the great Wu Ershan? Uh... sorry, it's Udyr]
[...]
Just as the chat viewers and Factory Director were getting into a happy mood.
[Bro! We're rich!]: "Sure."
Two simple words, no hint of emotion, just as fast as before, giving off a very confident vibe.
"No way."
Ming Kai was a bit surprised.
But whether he's a horse or a mule, taking him out for a walk would tell.
He lured Xu Cheng with money, originally just testing the waters.
Without further ado, the two teamed up, queued, and instantly entered a match.
The matchmaking system had been getting livelier lately. After the initial chaos, high-ranked players now matched against equally skilled opponents.
With Factory Director and Xu Cheng teaming up, their opponents were naturally no pushovers.
Their top lane opponent was none other than the national server passerby king, Call me Official, who had appeared in Xu Cheng's "famous battle."
[The opponent is Official, bro. Maybe you should jungle instead; this champion isn't good for top lane.]
Factory Director kindly reminded.
[No need.]
After Xu Cheng sent that, he added with confusion: [Who told you Udyr can't play top? He's really strong there!]
Factory Director was taken aback.
The game had started by then, so he didn't say more, but locked his camera on the top lane while half-heartedly farming in mid lane—
This time, his goal was to probe the Data Monster's skills. What did it matter if he slacked off a bit?
"You guys might not know this champion. He came out pretty early, and honestly, I don't know much about him either."
During a lull in laning, Factory Director explained to his stream viewers: "But what I can say for sure is that this champion has a tough time against Jax. It's not even about the champion matchup; mainly, Official's Jax is a signature pick... Huh? Huh?"
Factory Director suddenly paused: "Damn, he's got some skill!"
It turned out that in the top lane, after seeing the opponent pick Udyr, Official tried to bully Xu Cheng early on.
But Xu Cheng was ready for it. He smoothly switched Udyr's stances, catching the caught-off-guard Jax off guard and draining his health.
This small skirmish victory made Factory Director's previously cheerful mood gradually fade away.
And in the time that followed, it plummeted into the negatives at lightning speed—
The Data Monster actually knew how to play Udyr!
And, damn, he was smooth with it.
The precise timing of stance switches, the subsequent item build, and even the Rune Talent setup Xu Cheng had dutifully sent him before the match started, which Factory Director hadn't bothered to look at closely...
All signs pointed to the fact that not only did the opponent know how to play Udyr, he was strong!
Ten minutes into the game, Udyr got his first solo kill on Jax, then in a small team fight, he was like a God of War incarnate, snatching a triple kill. Factory Director was frozen in place, dumbfounded.
The spectators who had come to watch the drama were in an uproar too.
[Oh my god, this Udyr is fierce as a God of War!]
[Holy crap! I just realized this hero whose name I can't even remember is actually this strong?]
[It's not that the hero is strong, it's that the player is too strong!]
[Official's Jax can't beat Udyr? I must be dreaming, I booted up wrong.]
[Data Monster!! The eternal god!]
[Factory Director? Factory Director, say something!]
[Data Monster: Since you're chasing thrills, let's see it through to the end!]
Factory Director couldn't hold it in either. He typed, [Wait, you really know all of them?]
Xu Cheng was surprised. [?]
[What else did you think? That I was joking?]
Of course, he couldn't possibly be proficient with every single hero. Talent aside, he didn't have that much free time!
The thing was, as a seller, you had to hype yourself up. You boast first, worry later.
Factory Director was unlucky this time. Udyr was one of the few niche heroes Xu Cheng had actually played, because Xu Cheng had taken an interest in the hero's multiple stances and studied him a few times.
Winning by surprise wasn't strange.
He'd been shown up!
[I don't believe it!]
Factory Director naturally didn't buy what the opponent was saying. He said stubbornly, [If you can keep up this performance in the next game, I'll add another 500!]
[Oh? There's such a good deal?]
[...]
A match ended. Factory Director continued to exercise his rights as the paying customer, picking heroes for Xu Cheng.
But the more he picked, the more confused he got.
Unreliable picks like Udyr, the pre-rework Mordekaiser, Galio.
Popular picks like Rumble, Talon, Ahri.
The highest Upper Limit picks like Azir, LeBlanc, Zed...
The opponent really did seem to be as he'd claimed. At the very least, every hero Factory Director randomly picked for him, he could play. Looking at the stats and performance, he was even damn good at them!
[666666!]
[I'm already convinced. Is this what a genius looks like?]
[God!!]
[Holy crap, he really just wins with whatever's picked?]
[Mastery of all heroes? Isn't this guy a monster?]
[I don't think it's all heroes, no one can be that ridiculous, but... emm, okay, Data Monster is awesome!]
The spectators in the stream who had come for the drama were, after half a day, completely convinced by Xu Cheng.
Couldn't blame them.
With these hellish conditions and this vast hero pool, who wouldn't be convinced?
Keep in mind, Factory Director had even increased the difficulty midway, not only picking extremely niche heroes but also restricting Xu Cheng to only playing top lane.
Normal heroes were one thing, but Lucian and Kalista top lane too?
Was he doing research?
Factory Director was convinced too at this point, but he wasn't as angry as the spectators thought.
Quite the opposite—he was trembling with excitement!
He was shaking all over!
Originally, he just wanted to put Xu Cheng in his place, to teach him to respect his elders.
Unexpectedly, the other party had given him such a huge surprise!
Not to mention having every hero, but just from half a day today, the sheer number of heroes the other party had demonstrated proficiency in was enough to be called a hero ocean!
Many professional players didn't even have a hero pool as broad as his!
And he hadn't even turned pro yet! He hadn't undergone systematic training!
Turtle Turtle.
In an instant, Factory Director set aside the so-called pride of a veteran and humbly typed: [Awesome! Bro, you're too awesome!]
[Bro, look, the time's up. How about I renew your session? No other meaning, little bro just wants to hang out with you a bit longer—it's comfortable!!]
