Can't I Call You Bad?
After seeing He Zhixiao off, GOD started their usual five-stack games again.
Wantonly suddenly felt like playing mid, so everyone switched lanes. Shi Mu went top, Clear played jungle, Wantonly went mid, bin played support, and Wu Jin played ADC.
Wu Jin picked Misha, who relied mainly on basic attacks and her ultimate for damage. Her early game was rough, so she needed her support's help to gain an advantage. Bin picked Yamei as support. The character was easy to play and cute, making her popular with female players, and she paired very well with Misha.
At the start, Wu Jin leveled her second skill first. The enemy marksman was Vivian, who dealt more damage than Misha early on, so Wu Jin didn't contest the lane. Things remained relatively peaceful in the bottom lane.
Wantonly rarely got to play mid, so he specifically picked Cassia, a brainless character with high damage. Cassia wore her hair in high twin tails and had on a short skirt, bouncing as she walked. He picked a fight, quickly clearing the wave before chasing the enemy mage down and hitting them point-blank with basic attacks.
"Hahahahaha, don't run, don't run! One cast of my first skill and I'll get first blood!"
"Wantonly, watch out for the jungler."
One minute and sixteen seconds had passed. Normally, a jungler would have finished clearing about half the jungle by now. The enemy jungler had started at blue, and bin had secured vision, but the jungler hadn't come their way. That meant the jungler would definitely go harass mid, so Wu Jin pinged a warning.
"Wantonly, watch out for the jungler."
Wantonly was caught up in the fight. When he heard Wu Jin, he tried to retreat, but it was already too late. The enemy jungler rolled out of the brush and controlled him, chaining it with the enemy mid laner's control skill. Wantonly was dead before he even came back down.
Shi Mu moved his view over and chuckled. "It's fine that you didn't get first blood. You gave it away instead~"
The fans in Wu Jin's livestream burst out laughing.
"Wantonly: Captain, please mute your mic..."
"I'm dying. Wantonly acted like he hadn't killed anyone in centuries and suddenly got bloodthirsty."
"Be good and stick to playing support. Stop trying so hard."
Wantonly glared at Clear. "What are you doing? Why didn't you come help me?"
"I'm here now."
Clear kindly helped Wantonly clear a wave of minions, then headed into the blue-side jungle without looking back.
Usually, Brother Mu was the one stealing his farm. Now that their roles were reversed, he realized how delicious the mid-lane wave was! As everyone knew, the mid-lane wave belonged to everyone.
Wantonly: ...Thanks a lot.
The enemy jungler had gone to the top half of the map, and Clear was about to finish clearing his blue-side jungle. Wu Jin held a wave to control where the minions met, while bin stood closer to their own turret, putting them in a better position to attack or defend.
Vivian circled under the turret, hesitating. She couldn't bear to give up the minion gold, but she was also afraid the enemy jungler would gank and chip away at her health.
Wu Jin deliberately left an opening to bait the enemy support into attacking her. As soon as she made a move, bin frowned and came out of the brush, knocking the enemy support airborne. His tone was hostile.
"Jin, what are you doing? You're making such a basic mistake. If you ask me, you're not suited to playing marksman."
Bin had been watching Wu Jin's play from the start of the game. Whenever there was the slightest thing wrong, he was ready to call her out.
Now that he'd caught her making a mistake, he kept nagging her for several minutes. Clear had been about to move up and coordinate with Wu Jin to deal some damage, but bin's interruption forced him to give up.
For every wave after that, bin had a few comments for Wu Jin. Either he said she shouldn't play so aggressively, or he said she didn't understand marksman tactics and was sticking to a brute-force mentality.
Wu Jin's expression didn't change, giving no sign of what she felt. But the fans in her livestream weren't nearly as patient and immediately started blasting bin.
"What's he acting so high and mighty for? He just keeps nagging. Our precious Jin can't even play properly."
"He's an ADC, so he's speaking from experience. Isn't it normal for him to give Jin a few pointers? He wasn't wrong, either."
"That doesn't mean he can keep going on and on, okay? He might as well play himself. Why doesn't he lecture anyone else instead of singling out our Jin?"
"Can't he call her out for playing badly?"
The two sides fought fiercely in the chat, neither willing to back down. As a member of a star team, bin might not be as good-looking as the others, but he was still pleasant to look at.
Besides, many people saw esports players through rose-tinted glasses. Bin had plenty of female fans too, and he was good at charming them, often keeping the women who sent him the most gifts happy. As a result, his fans were devoted to him.
Shi Mu was doing fairly well in the top lane. After taking down the enemy's first turret, he moved to the bottom lane. There were only a few seconds left before the dragon spawned, so he pinged and waited in the brush for a chance to move.
Wu Jin took half of Vivian's health so she couldn't join the team fight without worrying. Clear jumped into the dragon pit to attack the dragon, while Wu Jin edged up on their jungle side to help deal damage. The enemy Fulina used a clone to reveal bin in the brush, and the bear flashed in and followed up with an ultimate, knocking Clear airborne.
"Fuck, hurry up and save me!"
"Call me Daddy and I'll come."
"Si Yicheng, are you fucking taking advantage of me?!"
Wu Jin quietly spoke up. "I'm livestreaming."
She meant he shouldn't swear.
"Baby Jin quietly reminding Clear not to swear, hahahaha."
"I'm dying, Wantonly just lost his screen name."
"Si Yicheng's real name is out there now. Hahahahahahaha, those two are too funny."
"I've always thought Wantonly's real name sounded nice. At first listen, it sounds very cultured."
Wantonly chuckled and used his ultimate, releasing a toy rabbit to tank damage for Clear. Shi Mu held his second skill, waiting for Fulina to reveal her true body.
The moment he saw Fulina, he seized the chance to engage, inflicting a fifty-percent slow. Wu Jin activated Fury and followed up, dealing her full damage. The enemy top laner used their ultimate and crashed into Wu Jin. In her haste, Wu Jin spoke up.
"Bin, get on my head."
She waited two seconds, but bin neither answered nor got on her head to shield her. He had just run into a wall and exposed an opening, letting the enemy mid laner control him and turn him into a deer. He hadn't used his skill in time to return to human form, and the enemy top laner killed Wu Jin in an instant.
Wu Jin gave him a light glance. "Your hands were a little slow."
It wasn't as though Wu Jin couldn't tell bin was targeting her. From their first meeting to the little details of every game and interaction since, he had never treated her kindly.
Wu Jin simply ignored the minor hostility. Grandma had told her to get along with her teammates.
Bin was already a little embarrassed. Knowing Wu Jin was livestreaming, he lost even more face at the thought that tens of thousands of people might have seen his incredibly stupid mistake.
And Wu Jin had actually pointed out his mistake so blatantly. It was undoubtedly a slap in the face. His expression changed several times before he finally let out a cold laugh.
"You couldn't cut it yourself, so now you're blaming me?"
Shi Mu's screen had also gone gray. He leaned lazily against the back of his chair. "Can't I call you bad?"
Bin tightened his grip on his mouse, his expression frighteningly dark. Luckily, he wasn't livestreaming, or that look on his face could have gotten GOD a minor trending topic about tension within the team.
His gaze was venomous. He didn't understand why Shi Mu was always speaking up for Wu Jin. Who knew what he was thinking?
As for Wu Jin, she had made him lose so much face today. Sooner or later, he would make her pay for it.
For the rest of the game, bin half-assed it and left Wu Jin to die several times. In the end, they lost, just as expected.
Bin took off his headphones, said he was done playing, and went upstairs to rest.
Clear watched him leave and muttered, "What's gotten into him?"
"Oh, never mind him, never mind him. Queue up again! I still want to play mid!"
"Get lost. You're terrible."
Seeing that the two were about to start saying things about each other's mothers again, Wu Jin said goodbye to her viewers and quickly ended the stream. For the sake of her teammates' reputations and salaries, Wu Jin really went to great lengths.
