A Person in the League, But It's the Taiwan Server System

In League, But With the Taiwan Server System. Author: Want a Coke?

Introduction:

Good news: Got hit by a truck, but didn't die.

Bad news: Transmigrated to Ionia during wartime.

Good news: Have a system.

Bad news: It's the Tencent Server System.

To survive in the turbulent lands of Ionia, Chen Ce had no choice but to use the Tencent Server System.

[Log in daily to receive 10~100 Blue Essence!]

[Complete missions for massive rewards!]

[Don't throw away useless gear, try combining three into one!]

[Start with 0 Essence, skills are all pay-to-win!]

Chen Ce had been scammed by the Tencent Server System for two years. Two whole years.

As a transmigrator—a transmigrator with a system, no less—he had exhausted every effort only to barely keep his life.

In the end, he couldn't even manage that.

After being surrounded by the Noxian invading army, his entire squad was wiped out.

Lying in a pool of blood, he finally couldn't help but curse the Tencent Server System at the top of his lungs.

And it was precisely because of this curse...

[Taiwan Server System has descended!]

Chapter 1: The Taiwan Server System Shreds the Tencent Server!

Ravens were wailing.

They had spotted food; the scent of rotting flesh drew them in, but the slight twitching of the dying man's fingertips kept them from drawing too close.

Chen Ce lay flat on his back in the blood-soaked mud, his vision already stained crimson.

He reached out weakly to his side, only to touch a cold, lifeless corpse.

The impatient ravens flew closer. They were starving.

Chen Ce felt the sharp pain, as well as the scarlet gaze of the ravens.

On the verge of death, he could only tear open his already ruined throat and use his final strength to let out a tragic, desperate cry:

"Tencent... I hope your mother...!"

Two years ago, Chen Ce had transmigrated into the world of League of Legends—yes, Runeterra itself.

As for the reason... it's better left unsaid, mostly because the mental attacks from the "Great Shun," "Great Ba," and "Great Shi" teachers were so terrifying that they sent a player who was currently pushing for a rank on the Summit of the Canyon straight into another world.

Chen Ce arrived in Ionia, the homeland of Blade Dancer Irelia, Karma the Enlightened One, Akali the Rogue Assassin, and others.

His timing was unfortunate; he arrived right in the middle of the Noxian invasion.

Fortunately, as a transmigrator, he did have a bit of a newcomer bonus—he had a system.

Well... the good news was that he had a system.

The bad news was... the system was the Tencent Server System.

[Log in to the Tencent Server System daily to receive 10~100 Blue Essence!]

[Essence can be used to redeem hero skills; the cheapest costs only 450 Essence! (Note: Redeemed hero skills start at Level 1. To upgrade to Level 2, you must redeem the same skill twice. To upgrade to Level 3, you must combine two Level 2 skills, and so on~)]

[Fighting heroes accumulates "Experience." Every 100 Experience grants a reward chest, which can randomly contain hero skills or mysterious equipment! (Note: Reward chests require keys to open. Keys can be redeemed in the shop for only 3,000 Essence~)]

[Too much useless gear? Try combining three into one! (Note: Each equipment fusion costs 1,000 Essence~)]

[This system offers massive daily missions. Completing them grants huge rewards! (Note: If a daily mission is not completed on the same day, progress will reset the next day~)]

[If the host feels that the ways to obtain Essence are too few or too troublesome, this system also provides a direct exchange method: 1 day of lifespan for 1 Essence. A single exchange of over 1,000 Essence grants an extra 50 Essence!]

[The Tencent Server System wishes you a pleasant life~]

Yes, that was the kind of system it was...

At first glance, it didn't seem too bad. It had everything, the ways to get Essence weren't too harsh, and the cheapest hero skills were only 450 Essence, which wasn't expensive.

But... in reality, that wasn't the case at all.

First, the skill issue: the 450 Essence skills were all useless traps, like Kog'Maw's passive or Sion's passive—skills that only worked after you were already dead...

And the skills that were actually useful, like the Way of the Wanderer, cost tens of thousands of Essence, not to mention that every time he wanted to level them up, he had to spend double the amount of Essence...

Then there was the chest system. He would spend half a month painstakingly finding friendly heroes to spar with just to accumulate 100 "Experience," only to spend 3,000 Essence to open a chest that contained nothing but trash skills or equipment he couldn't even use...

And that so-called "three-in-one" equipment fusion system was a total scam; it would frequently combine three items only to spit out the exact same piece of trash he started with...

The daily missions were even worse. They were written as "daily" but functioned as "traps." They were usually impossible tasks like "Kill 100 Void creatures" or "Pluck a scale from Aurelion Sol the Star Forger," and if you didn't finish them that day, the system would reset your progress the next morning!

The final "direct essence exchange path" is the absolute worst of the worst—a stingy, life-shortening scam that not even a dog would touch!

All things considered, this piece-of-trash Tencent Server System is pure garbage, clearly designed by someone whose brain isn't functioning properly.

I'd go so far as to say that even Karthus would whiff his ultimate if he tried to use it on the Tencent Server System.

And so... Chen Ce has spent the last two years living a life worse than death.

He performed the filthiest, most exhausting system tasks, received the most pathetic, bottom-tier rewards, and had to constantly watch his back to avoid getting his head lopped off by the invading Noxus army...

In two whole years, he only managed to exchange for one barely usable minor skill—Xin Zhao's Three Talon Strike—and it was only at level one.

As for equipment... let's just say that after getting scammed a few times, he never wanted to touch those Sword Graveyard Chests again.

Relying solely on this level-one "Three Talon Strike," he barely managed to survive two years in the turbulent lands of Ionia, even killing a few Noxus invaders and earning some negligible military merit.

But... if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

In the end, his luck ran out.

The resistance squad he belonged to was surrounded by a massive Noxus army and wiped out in just half an hour.

He himself was run through the abdomen by an enemy blade, left hanging by a thread.

With his final breath, he cursed the scamming Tencent Server System at the top of his lungs—his first outburst of rage in two years.

He lay flat on his back, letting the scavenging ravens peck at his rotting flesh.

Death was imminent.

Perhaps I shall meet the legendary god of death... he thought, that masked Lamb...

He slowly closed his eyes, blurred by blood.

He waited quietly for the end to come.

But just then, a strange voice echoed in his mind—a voice unlike the Tencent Server System's—he was far too familiar with that one, and he was certain this wasn't it.

[Detected that the host can no longer tolerate the Tencent Server System; the Taiwan Server System has descended!]

[The Tencent Server is dead; the Taiwan Server shall rise!]

[From this day forth, there shall be no more exploitation by the Tencent Server System! No more unfair treatment!]

[The Taiwan Server System has abolished the essence system for you!]

[The Taiwan Server System has abolished the daily task system for you!]

[The Taiwan Server System has activated the [Long-term Task System] for you; all tasks have no time limits and progress will not reset!]

[The Taiwan Server System has abolished the [Skill Level System] for you; all skills are at max level upon acquisition!]

[The Taiwan Server System has activated the [Hero Interaction System] for you; simply interact with a hero (favor, malice, friendship, or hostility all count) to obtain a chest, and no keys are required to open them!]

[The Taiwan Server System has optimized the chest system and equipment fusion system for you, and abolished the duplicate acquisition of skills/equipment!]

[The Taiwan Server System has gifted you a beginner's bonus: [Self-Selected Skill] *1]

[Please choose one from the following three skills: [Meditation]; [Wild Cards]; [Event Horizon]]

Chapter 2: Tencent Server Studies, No More...

Under normal circumstances, Chen Ce might have had to think about which skill to choose.

[Meditation], [Wild Cards], [Event Horizon]—each of the three skills had its own merits.

But now, he only had one choice.

[Meditation]

It was the only skill among the three that could save his life.

After making his choice, he triggered the newly learned skill almost instinctively.

In an instant, he felt his mind go completely blank, his consciousness slipping into a truly wondrous state.

In this state, he could no longer feel the physical pain; there was only a sense of mental relaxation.

Within moments, the wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, his stagnant blood vessels began to flow again, and his heart, which had been on the verge of stopping, beat with more vigor than ever before.

This was the power of max-level Meditation.

When the brief meditation ended, Chen Ce wasn't fully recovered, but at least he was no longer in mortal danger, and he could move normally without much trouble.

He looked around; his former companions lay scattered on the ground. They were all dead.

"Sorry..."

Chen Ce closed the eyes of his fallen comrades one by one, his heart heavy.

But... this was the norm.

The norm of war.

It was a blessing that the Noxus legion that wiped them out hadn't returned.

After finishing, Chen Ce scavenged a few of the latest weapons from the battlefield, then composed himself and headed back the way he came.

At sunset, Chen Ce finally caught sight of a familiar cluster of buildings on the horizon.

The headquarters of the Placidium resistance.

This magnificent land was once one of the most sacred places in Ionia, where many traveled long distances to study at its renowned academy or meditate in its lush, untamed magical gardens. But now, war had reduced it to an utterly ordinary place.

Yet, despite this, the Placidium had still birthed the most outstanding resistance leader in all of Ionia—Blade Dancer Irelia.

At only fourteen years old, she had single-handedly severed the arm of the Noxian Grand General Jericho Swain, thereby securing victory in the "Battle of Placidium," which was hailed as the turning point of the war.

Since then, she had become famous throughout Ionia and gradually rose to become the supreme leader of the Placidium resistance.

And what Chen Ce had to do now was find this legendary girl of the Xan House.

He dragged his exhausted body into the leader's office.

That beautiful and powerful Blade Dancer sat at her desk.

A red bodice and silver armor clung to her smooth, fair skin, while her long, unbound black hair cascaded to her waist, and her pale blue eyes were as sharp as a hawk's.

Her legs, honed by years of training, displayed clear muscle definition; wrapped and tightened by over-the-knee socks, they appeared slightly fleshy, full, and slender.

Her not-yet-fully-developed chest stood firm above her willow-thin waist, the silhouette of the bodice highlighting a youthful beauty unique to her age.

Her delicate features made her look less like an elite resistance leader and more like a stunning dancer adored by thousands.

The blades, forged from the shattered crest of the Xan House, were lined up behind her, elegant and lethal.

Her appearance was as top-tier as her martial arts.

"Good evening, Miss Irelia..." Chen Ce greeted her, sounding slightly weak.
