[There aren't many mechanics involved, you're making a big deal out of nothing.]

Xu Cheng sensed the excitement of the "big sucker" on the other side, finding it hard to empathize.

However, to make money, he still complied with the other person's request.

[Then I'll play Fiora.]

[Fiora? Okay.]

Seeing Xu Cheng's pick, the Factory Director felt a bit confused.

Fiora was reworked in S5, and over a year has passed since then. All the necessary mechanics should have been mastered by now—

Could it be that the other party wasn't lying, that there really weren't many new mechanics, and that developing Camille's E flash E was just a fluke?

As he thought this, the various top solo queue players and professional players lurking in the livestream chat also shifted their attention to the previous Camille E flash E.

"I just tried it, this bastard lied. He calls this easy? This is supposed to be simple?"

Xi Ye had just tried Camille's E flash E.

To put it mildly...

As soon as he started, he was a bit bewildered. He couldn't even grasp the timing of the E skill's dash, let alone flashing the moment the first E hit a wall and then following up with the second E.

The timing control involved here was even down to a fraction of a second.

Executing the second E also required extremely precise terrain.

After attempting it so many times, he had only succeeded once through sheer luck...

"Yeah, I tried it just now and didn't succeed even once..."

A trainee player nodded.

"I just feel like there's something strange about this guy... I can't quite put my finger on it..."

"Maybe his definition of simple is different from ours..."

As everyone was talking, they noticed Xi Ye's gaze had already locked onto the mid lane matchup—

Since this custom game started, Xu Cheng needed to reach level six, so the Factory Director decided to lane against him first.

As they fought...

"Who the hell taught him how to lane like this?!"

Seeing the Fiora, with no items at level one, daring to jump onto his face and aggressively harass him, the Factory Director was dumbfounded!

It's common knowledge now that Data Monster sometimes plays games without buying items...

The Factory Director wasn't surprised by this.

But what the hell did he mean by sticking to my face and fighting when he hadn't even bought his starting items?

And what was most shocking and unbelievable was—

Even playing so recklessly and randomly, the Factory Director actually couldn't gain any advantage!

This was outrageous!

[Ming Lian丶15]: "Bro, why are you laning like that? Didn't anyone tell you to buy starting items?"

[?]

Xu Cheng asked in confusion: [Isn't that obvious? Of course, you have to buy starting items!]

[...]

[Then why didn't you buy them?]

The Factory Director was a bit curious.

Before, everyone thought Xu Cheng was deliberately trying to humiliate them or show off, but now... they felt there must be another reason.

[Bro! We're rich now!]: "What do you think? If I bought starting items, would you still be standing here laning against me?"

Damn it!

In an instant, everyone gasped.

The Factory Director's mouth hung open, speechless for a long time.

Listen to this man speak!

The other party's true thoughts were actually so pure and simple!

What an honest person!

[Mad!]

[The familiar Data Monster is back, it feels right!]

[The most outrageous thing is, I realized this guy actually seems to think this way, can you believe it's his genuine thought?]

[Even if the Factory Director is bad, he's still a professional player, even if not a laning specialist... Data Monster's laning skill is somewhat terrifying!]

His laning skill is terrifying!

It's not about strength, it's about style, his terrifying thought process.

This was everyone's first impression of Xu Cheng's laning phase at this moment.

Previously, Xu Cheng played many champions like Thresh and Blitzcrank, which were more about impacting other lanes.

He would always go top lane, but rarely played the top lane role itself.

This time, unusually, he picked a relatively popular top lane champion.

And then...

Everyone saw what was happening before their eyes—

A scene completely different from his previous Thresh and Blitzcrank!

"Back then, he was somewhat restricted by his champions and held back a lot, but now..."

The Factory Director watched his health bar inexplicably drop, his heart pounding like a war drum, about to leap out of his throat.

His whole body trembled slightly from excitement!

He was stunned!

This kind of aggressive, reckless, brute-force laning wasn't the most oppressive.

With the Factory Director's experience, he could clearly feel that Xu Cheng was constantly taking risky gambles on many mistakes he shouldn't have made.

The opponent was completely ignorant of basic common sense that only professional players and those who frequently played high-elo games possessed.

Yet, even so, Xu Cheng was able to pressure his opponent, and he did it using the simplest, most brutal methods.

How high must this person's talent be?!

The Factory Director was truly shocked. He had played professionally for so many years and seen all sorts of prodigies, but never had anyone given him the kind of shock he was experiencing now.

At this moment, he finally understood what Xu Cheng had said before—

[How do we beat the Korean team? We win with raw strength, we fight them head-on and win!]

If he goes in, he might actually be able to do it!

[Bro, bro, tell me, what's your laning thought process?]

[Laning thought process? What's that?]

[Uh... it's like, when you're laning against an opponent, what are your thoughts and awareness...]

[Oh, that. I don't have one. I just know the opponent's basic stats and then play according to my subconscious... does that count?]

[Uh...]

The Factory Director didn't know how many times Xu Cheng had hit him with a blow.

Especially the part about playing according to his subconscious. To put it bluntly, wasn't that just relying on his great talent and doing whatever he pleased?

The opponent didn't even have the basic laning thought process of professional players or even ordinary King-tier solo queue aces!

He plays the game purely based on personal talent and intuition, right?

[Is there a problem?]

Meanwhile, Xu Cheng looked at the other person's silence and felt a little uneasy—

He was afraid the other party wouldn't pay him if he didn't sound impressive enough!

[No problem, no problem.]

The Factory Director wiped his sweat. He thought for a moment and was about to speak again when he saw Xu Cheng suddenly say:

[I'm level six.]

[Huh?]

The Factory Director was stunned.

The next moment, Fiora, who had just reached level six, cast her ultimate, positioned herself diagonally, auto-attacked a vital point, and then executed an E-flash almost simultaneously.

The three vital points disappeared in a flash!

Her Q skill swept across diagonally.

Bang!

Camille, who still had more than half her health, didn't even have time to react. In an instant, she melted and fell.

[Brother! We're rich!] Killed [Ming Lian丶15]!

[First Blood!]

????!

"Holy crap!!"

The Factory Director exclaimed.

"What happened?!"

From his perspective, his health bar had been perfectly fine just a moment ago, but in less than a second, his vision blurred. Fiora seemed to have teleported, moving directly from the lower-left to the upper-right.

Then...

He died.

What kind of move was that?

Four breaks in one second?

No, even four breaks in one second wouldn't be this fast!

The Factory Director was dumbfounded, as were the viewers in the livestream chat, along with all the passersby kings, and the alternate accounts from the clubs.

What was that scene just now? Was it a ghost?
