League of Legends: League of Unknowns

Liang Gui was not an official photographer, but he did have some connections with the organizers, so he was backstage collecting some materials that could be sold.

Out of boredom, he made a bet with a few photographers that he was close to.

The bet was initially just a joke, but who would have known that those Team Skycrown idiots actually won and he lost a thousand yuan just like that.

Now that Team Skycrown was backstage during their break, Liang Gui was glaring at them with fire in his eyes. If looks could kill…

“This kind of backwater team won? Team Revelation must be useless, making me lose money!” spat Liang Gui, with venom in his voice.

Hearing his complaints, Yu Luocheng glanced at Liang Gui and raised his middle finger at him.

“Congratulations on losing a thousand yuan.” Da Luo smiled, his words dripping with sarcasm.

Liang Gui’s expression shifted and he coldly said, “So what if I can’t let go of this one thousand yuan? You think you’re so great after winning one match? If you have the capability, then go ahead and beat Team Revelation! Bunch of bird shit!”

“F*ck, who do you think you’re cursing you piece of sh*t?!” Da Luo exclaimed angrily.

Seeing that Da Luo was about to get physical and knowing that any backstage incident would get them banned from playing, Yu Loucheng hurriedly held Da Luo back.

“Leave it to me,” said Yu Luocheng, turning towards Liang Gui.

“Earlier you said that we can’t win against Team Revelation, so what happens if we do win, idiot?”

“Even if you can win, with a weird tactic like that you’ll only get a second win at most! Let’s see how you play the next few rounds,” said Liang Gui, his smile cold.

Everyone could see that the reason Team Skycrown won this round was due to their unexpected tactic. In terms of actual strength, Team Skycrown couldn’t compare to Team Revelation.

And at most, that type of formation could only be used once.

“What if we do win? Would you care to make a bet?” asked Yu Luocheng, standing in front of Liang Gui. His voice was calm as he looked at the idiot in front of him.

“Win? You guys?”

“Enough nonsense, are you willing to make the bet or not? If you’re not then just f*ck off to some corner and masturbate with your camera lenses. I hear that a lot of you crazy photographers have weird fetishes,” said Yu Luocheng, his voice laced with steel.

“F*ck you, you’re the one with the weird fetish!” Liang Gui couldn’t hold it in anymore and roared, “I don’t dare? Come on, I’ll throw two thousand yuan in. If you win, you can take it!”

“I thought you were some hotshot playing with high-grade cameras, yet you only bet two thousand yuan? Come on, I’ll bet ten thousand!” said Li Meiqi as she pulled out her own bag, showing the rolls of money inside.

A roll of cash was slapped on the table and Li Meiqi smiled sharply, saying, “If Team Skycrown loses, this ten thousand can buy a 5D lens for your camera so you can finally look like a professional photographer. Stop trying to pass off a cheap 60D lens as something more high-grade, asshole!”

Watching Li Meiqi suddenly lose her temper shocked Team Skycrown into silence. Wow, this ladylike senior of theirs was not f*cking around! Seeing her just casually throw such a large amount of money on the table… could she really still be called a lady?

And judging by Liang Gui’s pinched expression, you could tell that Li Meiqi had hit the mark on his camera lenses!

There were several other professional photographers backstage, and with Li Meiqi’s outburst, they all came running over to see what was happening.

Liang Gui couldn’t put up with the humiliation anymore. If it was just Yu Luocheng challenging him to a bet, he could have still found a reason to turn it down. But to have a little girl throw down ten thousand just like that…

With so many eyes on him, he wouldn’t be able to show his face in the LOL industry anymore if he were to get scared off by a woman.

Liang Gui’s face was getting darker and darker as he pondered the situation before realizing that he still had some money leftover on his card.

After all, it was impossible for Team Skycrown to beat Team Revelation. Guan Lanjie from Team Sky had also said so earlier. It was impossible for Team Skycrown to win the rest of the matches.

Team Revelation had been caught off guard by their unexpected tactic, but they would be prepared in the next games. Team Skycrown had barely any chance of winning!

Liang Gui couldn’t afford to lose face here, where would he go after that? The chance of Team Skycrown losing was so much higher and he would even walk away with ten thousand yuan after he won the bet!

Bring on the bet! He wasn’t scared!

“You think I can’t put up ten thousand? I’ll go withdraw the money now. I don’t believe you guys will win!” Liang Gui lifted his head arrogantly, confidence radiating from his person.

Li Meiqi smiled disdainfully. “Don’t regret this.”

“Everyone here can be a witness!”

Feeling like he was going to earn this money for nothing, Liang Gui was clearly eager.

Ten thousand yuan, that was worth two to three months of his salary!

Liang Gui was an amateur photographer but he really wanted to enter into the professional world. Professional photographers earned a lot of money and had good equipment.

With this ten thousand yuan, he could upgrade his equipment, add on a wide-angle lens, and collect more worthy materials. If his work catches the eyes of the organizers, he would really be able to be an official photographer…

Where else would he find such a good chance to get everything he wanted?

To be honest, Li Meiqi had really backed him into a corner. But thinking about it now, he wanted to show that big-chested-no-brains girl what happens when you make rash bets without thinking things through!

***

After Liang Gui turned and left, the member of Team Skycrown all turned as one to the girl, dumbfounded.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?” Li Meiqi stuttered, suddenly feeling shy and embarrassed being at the center of the five boys’ attention.

The five of them faltered again. Just seconds ago, this girl was roaring like a god of war, and now she suddenly turned into a demure goddess!

This…

“Ten thousand yuan! You dared to bet that much!” Da Luo couldn’t help it, he shouted loudly.

Yu Luocheng had indeed wanted Liang Gui to lose more, but he didn’t expect Li Meiqi to up the stakes to ten thousand yuan! Damn, being rich really made you see things differently.

“Yeah, ten thousand yuan is enough for us to live for two to three months,” said Lin Dong bitterly.

“And you know we don’t have any money,” said Zhou Yan, pointing out the obvious.

Team Skycrown was poor as dirt right now. They didn’t know how they were going to make it past the next few months if they didn’t get the grant.

Li Meiqi’s life was definitely much better than theirs. She had just bet enough money for Team Skycrown to survive for a few months.

She wanted to help Team Skycrown, but how could they accept it? A bit of suffering in life was nothing. It is because of suffering that you would then work harder to get somewhere in life. By suffering, you would then later appreciate the feeling of accomplishment brought upon by winning something on your own. Wouldn’t it be meaningless to use some girl’s money?

“Can’t I make a personal bet against him? It has nothing to do with you. Damn it, I’m sick of listening to those assholes talk about how Team Skycrown will lose! Do you like listening to all those professional players talk sh*t about you backstage? Does it feel good?” snapped Li Meiqi, venting her frustration.

“That commentator is also the worst, he’s always poking fun at us. You painstakingly won one match… looking at their retarded dumbfounded faces and seeing how surprised they were made me incredibly happy! Can’t I even spend a bit of money after being happy?”

Lin Dong interrupted, saying, “That was not just a bit of money.”

“Sh*t, don’t interrupt me!”

“”Speak Madam, we will listen!”

“Listen up, you guys are not allowed to lose to Team Revelation! I don’t care about the money but I can’t stand them looking down on you. They don’t know how much you guys have suffered, but I do. They don’t know how much you love E-sports, but I do…” said Li Meiqi. Her voice shook with emotion and her eyes were red.

At her declaration, the five members of Team Skycrown lapsed into silence.

Li Meiqi’s words had stroked a fire in their hearts.

They had always thought that Li Meiqi was just playing around, claiming to be the manager of Team Skycrown. But now they were well aware that Li Meiqi was completely with them on the road back to being a professional player.

“What’s so good about Team Revelation? I want those girls to be surrounding you in the future, begging for your autograph! I want those sponsors to beg us to enter their companies, not the other way around!”

Team Revelation was not all that!

Yeah, they’re definitely not all that!

When Team Skycrown was playing professionally in the nationals, Team Revelation was probably playing Tetris somewhere. When Team Skycrown was playing in the World Championship, Team Revelation was just some half-assed DOTA team.

Li Meiqi exclaimed beautifully, “Show them what you’ve got and prove to them that your victory this round was not a fluke! This was your f*cking skills!”

Lin Dong, Da Luo, Zhou Yan, Wu Sen, and even Yu Luocheng were overcome by emotions at Li Meiqi’s speech.

Defeating Team Revelation by relying on their own strength!

They wouldn’t know that demolishing their lineup was just the tip of the iceberg in Team Skycrown’s abilities.

Since everyone thinks that they would win only one more game and get one more point, then they will prove them all wrong by taking down Team Revelation!

***

Li Meiqi had spoken the words hidden deep in Yu Luocheng’s heart. The reason he hadn’t hesitated to step into a professional competition this time was because of the injustice Team Skycrown had suffered. He couldn’t stay silent anymore!

This tactic was something that he thought up himself, so it was up to him to lead the team to another complete victory. The one he needed to defeat this time was not Team Meteor or Team Stardust or whatever galaxy team, but one of the top four teams—Team Revelation!

Bai Feng, the strongest ADC in the country?

There were several other ADCs in Yu Luocheng’s mind that were not any worse than Bai Feng.

He really dared to call himself the strongest ADC in the country?

Yu Luocheng didn’t even dare to claim that his ADC was the strongest, so let him be the one to test this so-called strongest ADC in the country. He would also show E-sports enthusiasts that the professional players they saw on screen were not necessarily the strongest.

They were uncontested simply because those who were stronger had not yet awakened, and had not yet stepped into the public eye!

During the last match, Bai Feng had used Graves.

Everyone knew that Graves was a favorite of Yu Luocheng’s. No matter how many times he is nerfed, his domineering statute was still loved by Yu Luocheng.

In the next round, let the master teach you how to use Graves properly!
