"I forgot to change the lane assignments."
Enter the ranked match ban/pick (BP) interface.
Su Hang was located on the 5th floor and was automatically assigned to a wandering position by the system.
"I still need to switch positions with my teammates."
While roaming can also lead to victory, it's far less reliable than playing in the top lane or the bottom lane.
Su Hang was about to turn on his microphone to discuss switching positions with his teammates.
The player on the first floor, in the top lane, suddenly turned on their microphone, extremely excited, " Liuli? Is the fifth-floor support Liuli Whale Overlord?"
The player on the second floor, following closely behind, was ecstatic. " Liuli crap! Five years later, on the same day, I'm matched with the legendary Liuli again!"
The third and fourth floor staff started speaking one after another, equally excited.
"Ahhh! After three years, it's Sister Liuli's turn to be in line again!"
"I'm so happy! I remember the first time I got to be in line for the Goddess of Liuli was two years ago."
Su Hang sent a text message saying "[Not the account owner]", but his four teammates seemed to be under the Infinite Tsukuyomi, completely absorbed in their memories and ignoring him.
The players on the second floor, playing on the development path, gave enthusiastic and moving presentations.
" Liuli, do you remember that Glory King promotion match on August 19, 2020? You played Cai Wenji as support for Hou Yi, and together you crushed the enemy Luban No. 7, do you still remember?"
"I'm not Liuli, how would I know? Besides, even if it were Liuli herself, how could she possibly remember a game match from five years ago?"
Su Hang was speechless, but after all, it was Liuli Thousand Stars Ranking Tournament. If he said something discouraging and affected his teammates' performance, it would be a loss. So he decided to tell a little lie and get away with it.
[ Liuli ]: Oh, I vaguely remember you. You were Hou Yi in that game, right? You played pretty well.
" Liuli, you've got the wrong memory," the player on the second floor's development lane said, both amused and exasperated. "I'm the enemy Luban No. 7, and you and Hou Yi made me a 0-7 total score."
"Forehead..."
Su Hang felt slightly embarrassed.
Immediately, alarm bells rang in my mind.
Five years ago, the second floor was utterly destroyed by Liuli, earning a super-demon record. If it weren't for the grudge, there's no way they would still remember it now.
"Is this person on the second floor, all smiles and no bite, secretly planning to throw this ranked match?"
Su Hang narrowed his eyes slightly, preparing for the worst. If he was certain that the person on the second floor was there to avenge Liuli, he would ignore the lane assignments, choose a hero requiring exceptional skill, and end the game as quickly as possible.
But what happened next on the second floor...
This left Su Hang stunned on the spot.
"I was a teenager then, just starting high school. The pressure of getting into a good school was suffocating me. I remember it clearly; it was a cloudy morning, and I used the school phone to call my mom because I wasn't feeling well and wanted to go home."
"My mom said, 'Then what do you want to do? I'm too ashamed to ask your teacher for leave again.'"
"At lunchtime in the cafeteria, I borrowed a friend's phone to play King of Glory. I failed my first attempt to reach the Glory rank, with a score of 0-8. My teammates reported me and deducted my credit score. It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and I broke down and cried on the spot."
The person on the second floor chuckled, "I felt like dying at that moment, but after the game ended, you, Liuli, helped me complete my wish list for the Arcade Kid skin and even left a kind message."
"You said, whether you're unhappy or happy, it's still a day. I hope this small skin gift can cheer you up and help you have a happy day."
"I walked out of the cafeteria with my friend, and the sky had cleared up. The warm sunshine felt wonderful on my skin. I mean, your 'Arcade Kid' skin gift made me very happy that day."
"Your message on that gift sustained me through my three years of high school, and it still warms my heart to this day."
Su Hang remained silent.
The man on the second floor, brimming with fighting spirit, said, "Don't worry, Liuli! That noob Luban who couldn't even reach the Glory rank back then is now the strongest Luban No. 7 in the national server! This time, I will definitely help you reach the top 1000 stars!"
"We're the same."
The four teammates displayed their imposing Major National Badge.
The strongest Guan Yu in the Chinese server!
The strongest Luban No. 7 in the Chinese server!
The strongest Yixing in the Chinese server!
The strongest Sun Wukong in the Chinese server!
"Is this the result of Liuli's ten years of persistent good deeds?"
Su Hang murmured to himself, a strange emotion rising within him.
Playing ranked matches with him is a completely different experience. His teammates respect him because of his top-notch gaming skills, while Liuli earns his respect by giving away skins as a favor, thus building a good reputation!
In short.
Liuli wins over is people's hearts!
"Oh no, I was so busy listening to the story on the second floor that I forgot to choose a hero."
Coming to his senses, Su Hang hurriedly selected a hero, but it was too late; the system automatically locked in a support hero.
"Are you kidding me? You locked her up?"
Douyin, Zhang Daxian's live stream room.
The live stream room was bustling with noise, and the chat was filled with comments.
Holy crap! Daxian is streaming?!
"Holy crap, Daxian has been off-air for over half a year, and then suddenly he's back on tonight. Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
"Awesome! Brother Xian truly deserves to be called the number one streamer in the King of Glory community. Without any prior notice, he instantly surpassed 100,000 views!"
Looking at the screen full of comments, Daxian chuckled and said, "Brothers, the reason I went live tonight without telling you was because it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, but I'll be doing several live streams in the near future."
The XYG members standing next to Xiudou, Kuxie, and others had complicated expressions and felt very bad. Not long ago, they retired from the professional game and switched to streaming King of Glory of Douyin, but their popularity was very poor.
The best performer is Xiudou, with a stable audience of over 100 viewers in her live stream. The worst performer is Kuxie, with only a dozen or so viewers in her live stream. Such dismal numbers are simply not enough to support her.
Upon learning of this situation, the Daxian decisively returned to the scene, resumed broadcasting on Douyin, and drove traffic to their live stream.
Daxian streamer clapped his hands and enthusiastically recommended. "Brothers who like watching skilled King of Glory streamers can follow Xiudou and Kuxie; they stream live on Douyin every night."
Viewers in the live stream quickly followed, commenting "Followed".
Although Daxian Xian's influence is not as great as before, as the saying goes, even a lean camel is bigger than a horse. He has nearly 50 million followers on Douyin, more than the official Honor of Kings, and is second only to the official Imperial Crown account!
The Daxian picked up his phone and said with a grin, "Brothers, tonight we'll help Xiudou's 999-star main account reach the Thousand-Star Rank and become the tenth player in the entire network to Thousand-Star Rank!"
The live stream audience was filled with anticipation.
However, some new fans have raised questions.
"999 stars is an extremely high rank, and the player's skill level is at least that of the strongest player in the national server. With Daxian's provincial-level skill, can he possibly handle it?"
The voices of doubt are growing louder.
The Daxian smiled and said, "Brothers, don't underestimate me just because I'm only at the provincial level. When I use my main hero, Luna, I can unleash a performance comparable to the best in the national server, and I can even hold my own against the Overlord players."
New fans were skeptical.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true," Xiudou said proudly, arms crossed. " Brother Xian is a genuine Jungle Overlord!"
" Jungle Overlord?"
