If I Lose This Game, I'm Quitting the Internet

In the 1v1 Mohist Mechaneer Path, at opposite ends of the map, two top-tier players face off.

The live stream's popularity exploded due to this unexpected "father-son match," with the scrolling of comments almost impossible to keep up with the naked eye.

[It's here! The battle of the century!]

[Li Dog! Crush him!]

[Sword Princess Bro! Make this arrogant guy call you daddy!]

[The betting is open! Bet on Li Dog to win, type 1; bet on Sword Princess to win, type 2!]

Luo Li adjusted his headset, his face still bearing that carefree smile, but his eyes had become incredibly focused.

He invited Peerless Sword Princess into the voice chat room.

"Hello? Can you hear me?" A slightly deep male voice, carrying a clear hint of provocation, came through the earpiece; it was Peerless Sword Princess.

"I can hear you, son." Luo Li immediately tried to take advantage of the situation.

"You!" The Peerless Sword Princess the smooth talker! I hope you won't cry when you lose! You know the rules, right? Best of three, five kills per round to determine the winner, heroes can be chosen freely, but not repeatedly!"

"Enough with the nonsense, just get started," Luo Li urged impatiently.

In the first game, Luo Li chose Ma Chao, Peerless Sword Princess immediately locked in Hua Mulan.

"Oh, you're using your favorite character right off the bat?" Luo Li raised an eyebrow.

"There's no need to hold back when dealing with you!" The Peerless Sword Princess was full of confidence.

The match begins!

Both are top-tier sidelaners, with impeccable laning skills.

Taking second place, attrition, and kiting... every move is full of strategic maneuvering.

Luo Li's Ma Chao is agile and graceful, storing and retrieving his spear, constantly looking for opportunities to wear him down.

The Peerless Sword Princess's Hua Mulan is equally formidable; her light sword silence is extremely precise, and her heavy sword's super armor allows her to withstand damage and counterattack at opportune moments.

The two traded blows, their health points decreasing alternately, keeping the viewers in the live stream on the edge of their seats.

Holy crap! Is this what a top-tier showdown is like?!

There are so many details! I can't take them all in!

[They seem evenly matched!]

In the end, when the first game was down to the fourth kill, Luo Li's Ma Chao made an extremely tricky flanking maneuver, using the speed boost from his Sprint and ultimate to dodge Hua Mulan's crucial silence and successfully kill her in front of the crystal, securing the first game victory.

"First Blood! Oh no, it's the fourth blood! We've won!" Luo Li breathed a sigh of relief and shouted into the microphone, "How was it? Son, does Dad's Ma Chao meet your standards?"

"Hmph! Just lucky! You won't win the next round!" The Peerless Sword Princess's voice was tinged with exasperation.

In the second game, Luo Li picked Charlotte, Peerless Sword Princess chose Guan Yu.

In this game, the Peerless Sword Princess Guan Yu was like a mad dog, constantly using the invulnerability and knockback effect of the charge stance to harass and wear down Luo Li's Charlotte, looking for an opportunity to kill her alone.

Although Luo Li's Charlotte still displayed skillful play, and the attack speed reduction effect of the Seven-Star Light Sword made it difficult for Guan Yu, she still made a positioning mistake under the constant pressure of Guan Yu's charge, and was pushed back under the tower and killed, losing her first kill.

After that, the Fiora's Guan Yu Peerless Sword Princess spirits, using the advantage she had built up in the early game to snowball and eventually win the game with a 5:3 kill score.

"Hahaha! Did you see that? That's real strength!"

The Peerless Sword Princess laughed triumphantly in the voice chat.

"Without Yuan Ge, you're nothing special! Are you ready to call me 'Dad'?"

In the live stream, Luo Li's fans were somewhat silent, while the haters began to revel.

[Hahaha! Your true colors have been revealed!]

[I knew he was a master of unparalleled skill!]

[Sword Princess Bro is awesome!]

Luo Li looked at the word "failure" on the screen, but there was no sign of frustration on her face. Instead, she licked her dry lips, and her eyes burned with an even more intense fighting spirit.

"Not bad, you played Guan Yu quite well." He commented calmly, then changed the subject, revealing an extremely arrogant smile, "However, that's where it ends."

He turned to look at Castorice beside him and saw a hint of concern in her purple eyes. He winked at her to reassure her.

Then, he looked back at the screen, spoke into the microphone, and said, in an unprecedentedly resolute tone, word by word, "Listen, son."

"Next game, the deciding game."

"This one..."

If I lose--

"I, Luo Li, am quitting the internet on the spot! I will never stream on any platform again! I mean it!"

Upon hearing this, the entire live stream, including the voice of the Peerless Sword Princess, fell into a brief silence.

Quitting... quitting the internet?!

Are you playing this high?!

[Holy crap!!! Has Li Dog gone mad?!]

[No way, Li Dog! It's just a game!]

[Oh no, this is terrible, we've really messed up!]

[Haha! He said it himself! Everyone took screenshots!]

[Calm down, Li Dog!]

Even the Peerless Sword Princess was stunned, stammering, "You... you're... for real?"

"My word is my bond!" Luo Li's Luo Li was calm, yet carried an undeniable resolve.

"So you'd better give it your all and not let me win too easily."

His do-or-die declaration was like pouring cold water into a boiling pot of oil, instantly pushing the hype surrounding the solo match to its peak.

Countless viewers flocked to the live stream after hearing the news, and the platform even experienced a brief buffering issue.

Everyone wants to witness this ultimate showdown that will determine their careers!

Castorice's hands, resting on her knees, unconsciously clenched slightly, her purple eyes fixed on Luo Li's profile. She could feel the resolute, do-or-die aura emanating from him.

The third and decisive game.

During the election phase, the atmosphere was so tense it was almost palpable.

The Peerless Sword Princess seemed to be provoked by Luo Li's "declaration of retiring from the internet." After hesitating for a moment, she chose an extremely stable hero, one that she was also extremely good at— Old Master!

This hero is extremely strong in one-on-one combat, and the binding effect of his ultimate skill "Sage's Might" is a nightmare for almost all agile heroes.

Luo Li, however, looked at the Old Master locked up by the other party, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Li Xin?!" Peerless Sword Princess exclaimed in the voice chat, "Are you sure? This hero is practically a death sentence against Old Master in the early game!"

The live stream chat was in an uproar.

[Li Xin? What a fool Li Dog!]

[I'll get completely dominated by Old Master Lu in the early game!]

[Oh no, are they really planning to quit the internet?]

Luo Li ignored any questions, locked on, and confirmed.

"Light or darkness, they will ultimately be used to my advantage."

On the game loading screen, Li Xin in his Light form stands holding a sword.

The match begins!

As everyone expected, Li Xin had an extremely difficult time facing the Old Master in the early stages.

The Old Master, Peerless Sword Princess, fought extremely fiercely.

Luo Li's Li Xin could only cower under the tower, using ranged sword energy to last-hit minions, his health was constantly being whittled down.

After clearing the first wave of minions, Old Master reached level two first and directly crossed the minion wave to pressure Li Xin, forcing him back to the tower. He even almost used Flash and his first skill to pull Li Xin back and get a solo kill.

[Oh no, the game's already ruined.]

[Li Dog has gone far away.]

[Countdown to network shutdown begins!]

Over the voice chat, the Peerless Sword Princess laughed smugly, "That's it? Looks like you're definitely quitting the internet today!"

Luo Li didn't speak, but focused intently on the screen, her fingers flying across the keyboard and mouse, controlling Li Xin to farm minions under the tower, occasionally using her first skill to dodge Old Master's deadly control.

His health remained below half, seemingly on the verge of death, but he never gave the Old Master a real chance to kill him.

Time passed slowly, and Li Xin finally managed to reach level four after much difficulty!

The moment his level increased, a glint flashed in Luo Li's eyes!

"Now!"

Instead of using the conventional light-type communication mode for long-range consumption, he instantly switched to the dark-type communication mode.

"This is the battlefield under my command!"

Li Xin, like a wild horse, activated his first skill "Fearless Charge," gaining speed and invulnerability, and charged out of the turret towards Old Master, who had just used his skill and was in a brief recovery animation.

"Huh? You still dare to come out?" The Peerless Sword Princess was taken aback, then sneered, controlling Old Master to activate his second skill for damage reduction, preparing to counterattack.

However, Luo Li's Dark Letter did not directly confront him head-on. Instead, he used the acceleration effect to slide around Old Master like an eel, dodging his first skill's pull, while continuously slashing with his Shadow Greatsword.

Dark Xin has extremely strong sustained damage output.

Old Master's second skill's damage immunity has a time limit!

Just as Old Master's second skill effect disappeared--

Luo Li's Li Xin unleashed his ultimate skill!

A powerful shadow force erupted from Li Xin, sending Old Master flying.

Immediately afterwards, basic attacks dealing damage based on a percentage of the target's maximum health rained down on Old Master.

Old Master's health was dropping rapidly at a visible rate.

"Holy crap! That's some damage?!" Peerless Sword Princess was shocked and hurriedly used Flash to try and create distance.

But Luo Li seemed to have anticipated this, and flashed in almost simultaneously.

Dark Xin's first skill has a short cooldown; activating it again allows him to accelerate and catch up.

With a swift movement, the knife fell.

Luo Li's Li Xin, against all odds, managed a solo kill in his lane!

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with "???" and "Holy crap!"

[Solo kill?! Dark Xin solo killed Old Master?!]

[What kind of damage is that?!]

[Li Dog is awesome!!!]

"Damn it! Lucky me!" the Peerless Sword Princess cursed in the voice chat, her face grim.

After being resurrected, he became even more cautious.

But having gained the upper hand, Luo Li fully demonstrated the oppressive power of the Dark Letter!

Instead of staying under the tower, he actively invaded the jungle, seized resources, and used Xin Zhao's high mobility and jungle clearing speed to quickly widen the economic gap.

Once the Dark Order's equipment was initially completed, Old Master was almost powerless to resist him.

Once Dark Xin activates his ultimate, he unleashes a barrage of attacks. Old Master uses his second skill for damage reduction? Well, wait until the reduction ends! His ultimate binds? Dark Xin's first skill's invulnerability completely ignores it!

Second kill!

The third kill!

The Peerless Sword Princess was completely overwhelmed and could only tremble under the tower.

[Complete crushing! Utter crushing!]

[From an unfavorable start to a complete rout, Li Dog's understanding of Li Xin is truly profound!]

[The Sword Princess Bro was stunned!]

With the fourth kill secured, Luo Li's Li Xin stood like a boss in front of the Peerless Sword Princess's crystal.

"It's over, son."

Luo Li said calmly, controlling Dark Xin and leading the minion wave, ignoring the desperate resistance of the Old Master under the tower, and directly demolished the crystal!

The moment the crystal exploded, the score was 5-1!

"Victory!"

The victory symbol leaps onto the screen!

Luo Li won!

In this ultimate solo match that gambled his entire streaming career, he used a hero other than his signature champion and delivered a masterful performance with Xin Zhao, completely crushing his opponent.

The live stream went absolutely wild! Gifts and comments flooded the entire screen like a tsunami.

[God Li is awesome!!!]

[Who said Li Dog is a master of unparalleled skills?! Step forward, you bastard!]

[Secret Letter King!]

[Quit the network? Quit my ass! Keep broadcasting until the end!]

There was a deathly silence on the other end of the line.

Several seconds later, the voice of the Peerless Sword Princess, filled with extreme resentment and shame, came through like a defeated rooster. "... I... lost."

Luo Li leaned back in her gaming chair, let out a long sigh of relief, and a victor's smile appeared on her face.

Instead of immediately mocking him, he first picked up the water that Castorice handed him and took a big gulp.

Then, he slowly spoke into the microphone:

"Yes, I heard you."

"Then, as agreed..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, watching the barrage of "Call me daddy" messages flooding the live stream, and hearing the heavy breathing on the other end of the line, he asked with a wicked grin, "Good son, isn't it time to keep your promise?"

"Come on, in front of the millions of viewers in the live stream..."

"Speak louder, call me Daddy."

(PS: I'll start with a filler chapter, otherwise I won't be able to write the next one. Yes, I plan to write six chapters today, which is my limit. I'm just hoping that you readers can give me some extra support.)

(Honestly, slacking off at work is really dangerous -- I just finished checking up on everyone and I'm already revealing the code.)

Luckily, I was the only one in the office on Friday afternoon, otherwise things would have been really difficult to handle.
