"Why didn't you ping that mid was missing?!"
"I did! You were the one overextending and getting caught. How is that my fault?"
"Then where was the jungler? Three people dove me under tower and killed me on top lane. What was the jungler doing, picking mushrooms in the jungle?!"
In the lobby of Origin Internet Cafe, the group had just finished a grudge-filled 5v5 match. Not only had they failed to cool off, but their argument had grown even fiercer.
Their in-game sabotage had spilled into reality. Huo Yuhao rubbed his temples with a despairing look, while Wang Dong fumed beside him.
On the other side, Di Tian was furiously pointing at Xuan Zi's nose, accusing his Gragas of not only failing to steal the dragon, but also blasting the enemy's full-health Darius straight onto their own low-health ADC.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Lu Yuan tapped the countertop, and the crisp sound echoed through the broadcast system, drowning out everyone's bickering.
"Look at yourselves."
Lu Yuan wore an expression of disappointment. "Your mechanics may have improved a little, but your team coordination is an absolute mess. You all fight on your own, blame each other, take all the credit when you win, and blame your teammates for everything when you lose."
"Boss, you can't blame me. It was them..." Xu Sanshi started to defend himself, only for Lu Yuan to glare him into silence.
"No excuses."
A kindly smile curled across Lu Yuan's lips. "Since you think your poor teamwork in team fights is because of enemy interference, I'll give you a game today with no enemies at all. It's absolutely relaxing, specially designed to cultivate teamwork and heavenly friendship."
"Relaxing? Wholesome?"
Snow Empress blinked her sky-blue eyes. "Like planting Sunflowers in Plants vs. Zombies?"
"Even more relaxing than that."
