Wantonly mimicked her with a cheeky grin. "Thanks to Jin for the free kill~"

Clear followed right behind him. "Thanks to Jin for the free kill~"

Wu Jin: ...

Shi Mu chuckled. "Looks like you two want to make the tournament quote reel."

Wu Jin took down the top outer tower, managed the lane, then swiftly entered the enemy jungle and teamed up with Wantonly to clear the small jungle monsters. Wherever they went, they left Er Lin no experience at all. A monkey without blue buff was like a phone without internet: somewhat useful, but not by much, and it really messed with a monkey player's mental state.

Three WSK players gathered in mid, looking for an opportunity. After clearing the mid wave, bin headed toward the dragon pit and threw out a skill to whittle down Er Lin's health in the brush. Shenguai used his ultimate, hitting bin and stunning him for two seconds.

The mid laner and jungler immediately followed up, and bin was killed in an instant. Moon Cicada Maiden used her ultimate to cut off Wantonly's position. Shi Mu and Clear came over from the red side of the jungle, but facing four opponents, they didn't dare approach and had to move upward around the dragon pit.

Wantonly was slowed. In his panic, he burned Flash, but still couldn't escape disaster. Moon Cicada Maiden and Dream Person pursued him closely, and Brother Monkey leaped in on his staff to take Wantonly down.

WSK secured an advantage from that exchange. Wu Jin was surrounded by three enemies in the top lane, while Shenguai harassed Clear nonstop, trying to prevent him from coming to her aid. Wu Jin fought as she retreated. Shi Mu arrived and dealt damage with his ultimate, and Wu Jin counterattacked with her second skill. The two sides traded blows and jockeyed for position until the three WSK players, unable to overcome GOD, retreated.

Wu Jin narrowed her eyes, her hands flying across the keyboard, and secured a triple kill.

The situation was reversed once more. GOD's advantage took shape, and WSK's top inner tower was destroyed.

[Qingqing: Incredible! Jin's performance really opened our eyes! The advantage WSK had just gained was overturned again in only two minutes. I'm so excited watching this!]

[Wu Hu: That play was gorgeous! Jin has almost won me over as a fan, let alone our friends watching here at the venue!]

GOD fans raised their cheering props and shouted their support. After Wu Jin secured the triple kill, they stood up in excitement, calling Jin's name over and over.

GOD smoothly took the first game, and the MVP went to Wu Jin's Akaloi without question.

The girl's distant gaze and cool, refined features appeared on the big screen, causing a small stir among the fans once again.

Even in these past few years, when the esports scene was in a golden age of good looks, Wu Jin's face was in no way inferior. She could hold her own even in the entertainment industry. Who wouldn't like someone so beautiful and so good at gaming?

After the match, both teams returned to their respective lounges. Brother Qian had long been itching to praise Wu Jin. When he saw GOD surrounded and two of its players killed, his heart had risen into his throat. Thankfully, Wu Jin had turned the situation around, and now his face was practically blooming with smiles.

"Precious darling, you played so well! You get to decide what we eat tonight!"

Clear picked up an apple, took a bite, and sprawled on the sofa. "A-Jin, I want hotpot."

Brother Qian immediately wiped the smile off his face and threw a pillow at Clear's face. "Get lost."

"I want hotpot too! I miss beef tripe so much, and omasum too!"

Shi Mu rummaged a milk candy out of his bag and handed it to Wu Jin, then said bluntly to Wantonly, "Why don't you just go gnaw on a cow?"

The camera captured everything happening in the lounge. Although the many viewers watching couldn't hear them, they still found the interactions among GOD's players adorable.

"What outrageous thing did Clear say this time to get smacked by Brother Qian?"

"I'm used to it. Clear doesn't feel right if he goes a day without getting hit. He's a born masochist."

"Does anyone get it? Time gave candy to Jin alone. Are you two lovebirds not even trying to hide it!!! Ahhh, I'm shipping them to death!"

"He carries his wife's favorite candy with him. Ebony Meets Spring, I'm crying to death. I escaped entertainment-industry ships, but not esports ships!"

"Time confessed to Jin yesterday, and Jin said she'd agree to date him if they won today's match. The rumor's made up; don't let it go to waste."

"I believe it. The rest of you do as you please."

"I believe it."

Coach Ming pointed out and discussed the mistakes GOD's players had made during the game, and soon the second game began.

After making some adjustments, WSK Team no longer seemed so dejected and could even joke around a little. After all, they were a dark horse team, and their mental state wasn't as fragile as people imagined.

After realizing GOD was deliberately targeting him, Er Lin chose the more conservative jungler Mou for the second game. Mou had strong self-preservation abilities and wouldn't depend too heavily on his teammates. He was also a recently released hero and very powerful, making him a perfect fit for their jungle-carry lineup.

Seeing that the opponents had picked Vivian and Mou, Coach Ming pondered for a moment. "Jin, would Centaur be okay for you?"

Coach Ming hadn't seen much of Wu Jin playing Centaur, so he was somewhat hesitant. Wu Jin nodded without hesitation.

In fact, Centaur was the first hero she had played when she first started the game, and she was already highly proficient in Centaur's techniques.

Seeing Wu Jin nod, Coach Ming patted Shi Mu on the shoulder. "Pick Centaur for Jin."

"Okay."

Centaur had a very smooth matchup against Vivian. Tangyuan, the ADC, swallowed nervously and prayed that Jin would go easy on him.

After the final two heroes were banned, both sides locked in their mid laners and supports.

In the first game, GOD Team's plan had been to let Wu Jin shine, so there would be far fewer voices questioning her. Thus, Coach Ming had put Wu Jin in the main damage-dealing position when choosing the lineup, while the others only had to do their jobs well.

The two lineups were as follows:

GOD: Centaur, Pangda, Di Xin, Bruce, Dragon Spirit

WSK: Fiora, Mou, Cassia, Yuesa, Vivian

This game, Er Lin was afraid Wu Jin would ambush him again, so he asked the support to follow him at the start. Wu Jin didn't lie in wait in the jungle this time, though. Some tactics only needed to be used once. Still, she had to target him when she could, and she slipped into the enemy's red jungle like a phantom.

[Wu Hu: We can see Jin now. She's gone into Er Lin's jungle again at the start! She's determined not to let Er Lin jungle in peace today!]

[Qingqing: After today, Er Lin will probably be traumatized by the jungle, hahahaha.]

Seeing that Wu Jin was missing from her lane again, Shiliu immediately grew wary. "Captain, Jin hasn't shown up in vision."

"She isn't over here with me. Don't worry."

"She's here, she's here! She's come to steal blue!!!"

PP shouted in despair. Why did this Jin love stealing jungle monsters so much??! Could she have been a jungler originally, only to be sent to fill in as a top laner?

Vivian immediately moved in to flank them, and bin followed, hoping to whittle down Vivian's health. But Yuesa's skill blocked his movement, and he didn't dare advance.

PP's second skill just missed, hitting the buff monster instead. Wantonly stood in front of Wu Jin, giving her plenty of room to jungle, while Clear used a slowing skill to chip away at Vivian's health.

Taking advantage of his longer range, he helped Wu Jin attack the buff monster. Wu Jin seized the chance to bring her blade down and claim the red buff.

Wu Jin activated her speed boost and charged up to Vivian, swinging her blade to slash away a quarter of her health. Together with the damage Vivian had already taken, Tangyuan was now at half health.

He immediately retreated, looking tense, but his support wasn't so lucky. Wantonly lashed out his tongue, stuck to Yuesa, and closed in, while Wu Jin followed up with damage.

The buff increased Centaur's damage and also added a slowing effect. Wu Jin was hit by PP and left with only one bar of health, but she wasn't afraid at all. She chased Duobao down, slashing at him and claiming first blood once again.
