How could it be? That 40,000 yuan…
Li Yun stood there in a daze for a long time.
How could that 40,000 yuan have been given to Lao Guan from Luocheng?
Where did he get that amount of money!?
Other than being good at that video game, he hadn’t done anything else…
Suddenly, Li Yun remembered that the summer after Luocheng had finished his third year, he always went out early and came back late.
Li Yun suddenly thought of something else, hurriedly shutting the door and running in to find her cell phone.
Even with Yu Yu’s help, Yu Jing’s fees for living in the hospital, the fees for the operation, and the fees for rehabilitation were still too much to handle.
Li Yun had gone to everyone she knew well, trying her best to borrow money. After borrowing from the people that she knew well, she even went to the people that she barely knew. After borrowing money from so many people, the list became longer and longer. She borrowed 30,000 yuan from her big brother, 40,000 yuan from her younger brother, 10,000 yuan from her third uncle, 20,000 yuan from this friend…there were even people that she borrowed a few thousand from, even tiny amounts like 20 yuan.
With this issue on her mind every day, she did not have a single day in which she was not worried.
Thank God that Yu Yu sometimes would get some prize money from winning competitions. That way, she could slowly pay back the debts that she had accumulated, otherwise, she would not know how to continue living.
At the start, when Li Yun had wanted to pay her sixth uncle the 30,000 yuan that she owed him, he had said that it had already been paid back.
That had made Li Yun wonder. The list stated that she still owed 30,000 yuan to him, it had not been scratched off yet, how could it have been paid back already? Her sixth uncle had responded saying that Yu Yu had already sent him the money, but when Li Yun had asked her about it, she had said that she knew nothing of it.
Li Yun had been extremely confused at that time. She should not have made this mistake; how could she not have written it down when she had paid it back already…
With what Lao Guan had told her today, Li Yun thought of a possibility. Luocheng might have started to find ways to help his family out with the debt!
At that time, Li Yun called them one by one…
“It’s me, Li Yun. The 20,000 yuan that I borrowed from you for Yu Jing’s operation… No, no, I just wanted to confirm it, don’t worry, we will definitely pay you back… yes, yes, Yu Yu really has a bright future ahead of her.”
“Sis, it’s me, the 30,000 yuan that I borrowed from you when Yu Jing needed it for his operation… Oh, it has been paid back already and it was from Yu Yu’s account… It’s nothing, Yu Yu did not tell me when she transferred the money, I was worried that she did not transfer it to you… Hehe, yeah, I did get a really great daughter…”
Li Yun called the people that she had borrowed money from one by one, and after asking everybody, she was speechless.
60,000 yuan!
The 30,000 yuan that she borrowed from her sixth uncle and another 30,000 yuan that she borrowed from her older sister, there was a total of 60,000 yuan that was already paid for!
They all said that Yu Yu had sent them a message asking for their account number and then especially reminding them not to talk about this after leaving the receipt to show that it had already been paid,
The problem was, Li Yun was very clear about the amount of money that Yu Yu had. All of the prize money she earned was given to Li Yun to pay off the debts, but the 60,000 yuan that was already paid for…
Lao Guan’s 40,000 yuan added up with her older sister and sixth uncle’s 60,000 yuan, altogether it was a total of 100,000 yuan!!!
Li Yun could not believe it…
She sat in front of her computer, and on the computer screen, coincidentally, Luocheng’s face was shown.
Li Yun looked at him. She suddenly felt an immense feeling of missing him and also regret that no words could describe.
He was never as childish as they had thought…
It was just that his maturity had already exceeded theirs.
It was as though they were still childishly assuming that he was just always playing video games, but he had chosen not to argue and instead, worked hard when no one was looking!
It was the first time, the very first time, that Li Yun prayed for her son wholeheartedly to win the second match! This was because even as someone who did not know much about the game, she could tell that this win was extremely important to him!

It was time for them to pick the champions and the crowd was extremely excited. Every single champion that got banned or picked was like a close battle!
“Yes, Team Sky has obviously done some thorough research about Team Skycrown’s moving fortress tactic after the strategic break in between the matches… Alright, they have banned Sivir, the battle mistress!” Miracle said.
There were two core champions for the moving fortress tactic. One of them was Pantheon, and the other one was Sivir. To prevent the same thing from happening again, Team Sky banned Sivir after much consideration.
The problem was that the number of champions that Team Skycrown knew how to use really was too much. After using a spot to ban Sivir, what about Anivia? What about the Support, Shen? What about Zhou Yan’s Elise? And what about Lin Dong’s Draven?
Also, would Luocheng really still continue playing as a Support?
What if he felt like it and chose Vayne!?
That was one hundred kills!
It was a whopping one hundred kills!!! After that match, Team Sky had gone crazy. Every single time they went into a match, they would definitely ban Vayne. It had taken them a long time to get over the fear of playing against Vayne. They had even almost gone to Riot Games to try to get the champion removed.
They really didn’t know who to ban now!
In the end, Team Sky banned the one champion that could threaten them the most, that was their double Jungler tactic when going up against Team Daemons.
They banned Elise, who was crucial to the strategy!
***
Soon, they entered the picking phase once more. Would Team Skycrown use the same tactic again? Everyone was looking forward to their decisions!
“Da Luo, time to pick your champion.” Lin Dong nudged Da Luo, who was sitting beside him.
Da Luo did not lose focus. It did not take long for him to decide. There was no one who chose to ban Dr. Mundo, so he would use that champion to show the girl who had told him off long ago!
Clicking on Dr. Mundo, he confirmed it. This decision did not need to be explained! Who cared about what the enemy chose?
After careful discussion and planning, Team Sky’s Xie Yi chose Orianna to use as their Mid. On his part, Zhao Tinghua picked a new champion who was the rising star in jungling, Wukong!
Wukong was normally used as a Top, but even so, when laning against some of the stronger champions, Wukong could not be used to his full potential!
However, when used as a Jungler, Wukong could exert his full potential. He would not lag behind when compared to Elise or even Lee Sin, and in the late-game, his strong crowd control could turn the tides to his favor!
Since Tinghua had chosen Wukong, Zhou Yan was not anxious to pick a Jungler. He let Luocheng and Wu Sen pick their champions first.
Wu Sen chose his champion very quickly, locking in LeBlanc!
Luocheng also made his decision relatively quickly, Lulu as a Support!
This champion pick definitely made the audience shocked out of their minds!
Lulu as a Support!?
Was this still the Fighting Hawk that everyone knew??
This guy never used passive Supports…
Alright, Lulu could be counted as an all-rounder that could deal damage as well as provide sustainability to her teammates. The problem was, adding buffs and shields was definitely not Luocheng’s playstyle!
After a few shocked gasps, Luocheng locked in his champion!
Feng Da, who thought that he knew Luocheng very well, hoped that he could swallow the words “He will definitely not use Lulu!”
He had really used Lulu…
Did Luocheng really want to play as a normal Support??
On another hand, Lulu as a pure Support was actually quite strong. She had movement speed buffs and also good team buffs. If she used her Ultimate at the right time, it could be game-changing!
In the midst of all the chaos, Lin Dong also chose his champion, it was Lucian, the purifier!
Dr. Mundo, Lee Sin, LeBlanc, Lulu, and Lucian… why did it look as though they had no underlying tactics!
However, the lineup was decided, and the audience was visibly disappointed. Even if Lulu was hard to control, from the audience’s perspective, it wouldn’t be that exciting.
They entered the last tweaking stage. Thirty more seconds until the match began.
“Okay, the fight for the throne will commence soon. Let us use a round of applause to start off this match… Oh my! What is this?? What did I see!?” Suddenly, Miracle’s professional tone turned into a shocked one!
“They’ve changed it, Fighting Hawk and Crow have switched champions!!”
“It will be Lulu in the middle lane, so it was going to be Lulu as the Mid… If so, that means Fighting Hawk is going to use LeBlanc as a Support!”
LeBlanc as a Support!?
There were millions of people watching the LPL. In the vast amount of people, there were many people who were not highly ranked. When they saw that Luocheng was going to use LeBlanc, they were lost for words!
This… this champion could also be used as a Support!?
What was wrong with the community right now, how could a mage become a Support!?
Who cared about those lesser-used champions? Even LeBlanc wouldn’t be used as a Mid. As an abnormal Support, Lulu was picked as a Mid instead!
This had never ever happened before in history!
***
The professional players’ faces lit up when they saw Luocheng make this decision!
In their eyes, LeBlanc as a Support could not be in the sidelines anymore, she would be strong now that Luocheng was the one using her!
Fighting Hawk was aggressive, his executions were flawless, and his skills were amazing. LeBlanc was a champion that needed precise controls and also great precision. In the hands of Fighting Hawk, how would she be played out?
The finals were going to start soon and everyone had believed that Luocheng would use the champion that he was most familiar with… the one that had the most possibility of bringing them to victory!
LeBlanc as a Support!
A Support champion that you could never underestimate!
