Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“So what, you think you’re all that just because you got into the LPL? You’re still stuck in this rat hole of a cybercafe as lowly nothings, you’re a joke!” Team Sunlight’s Nine Days burst out in anger.

If they couldn’t beat them with their skills, they would beat them with their words. After all, nowadays, cyber society was all about flaming your opponents. It didn’t matter whether you were in the right or wrong, as long as you were the one who yelled louder or had more followers, it wasn’t as though you could be held responsible. Team Sunlight knew that they still had this advantage, they knew how to use the hearts of the masses to turn against people, and most of all, they knew that people flocked toward drama, hatred, and anything that was popular. If they could stir up a big enough drama, their defeat would be quickly swept under the rug, with the headlights turned to how a famous LPL team were now only able to bully others in a small cybercafe, which would in turn make them the laughing stock of the century!

Bing Bing and his team knew that things weren’t looking good for them, immediately changing their game plan and spitting toxic words out as fast as a machine gun, acting as if they had been in the right all along.

Da Luo couldn’t take it anymore, standing up to retaliate with a tongue just as sharp as theirs!

There was no way the host could air this scene, and so, she quickly got the cameras to turn to face some curtains and made a solo conclusion of that day’s events.

“Who would’ve thought that the infamous LPL stars Team Skycrown have been holding down the fort here at Demacia Cafe! Most of us have probably only had the liberty of seeing these summoners play through the screens of your computers, but if you become a member of Demacia Cafe, you’ll have the chance to spectate their matches in-person!

Much more convenient than spectating the big competitions! Also, don’t forget, Team Skycrown is now accepting all challenges against them, if you think you have what it takes, come on over to Jing An, Shanghai’s Demacia Cafe! And that’s a wrap for today, I’m your host Ting Ting, see you guys next time!” Ting Ting kept her smile on until the cameras turned off.

The crew were basically done for the day, splitting smiles with yellowed teeth showing on their faces, giving an “OK” to Ting Ting and completely ignoring the altercation between Da Luo and Team Sunlight!

After all, all they wanted was content, anything other than that they could brush off completely.

“Team Sunlight, don’t you think you’ve embarrassed yourselves enough? Why are you still here stinking up the place with all the bullsh*t you’re spouting.” Feng Da had had enough.

Feng Da had originally thought that Team Sunlight was a team with integrity and skill unlike regular LPL teams, but seeing their actions today, Feng Da was absolutely disgusted.

You got GG’d by 18 minutes, and yet, you still had the gall to stand there arrogantly. If it were him, he would be looking for a hole to hide in forever!

“Yeah, you were tortured like animals, so why are you still here spreading your bullsh*t. If you want, you can go another round right now. Like our leader said, once you get past the 20 minute mark, you win, but can you last that long?” Mao piped up too.

As a LOL enthusiast, you could have your doubts about any team from any cybercafe or district, but with Team Skycrown, all you could do was bow down before their power!

Their defending team was Team Skycrown, Feng Da, Mao and the rest of them still couldn’t believe it!

Your third-rate Team Sunlight couldn’t even start to compare with LPL-level teams like Team Skycrown!

The people of Demacia Cafe were still more than ecstatic, they weren’t going to let these five dogs keep barking in the presence of their Gods. Feng Da was quite popular in the cafe himself, and with him taking the lead, everyone else followed suit, directing their fiery rage against Team Sunlight.

Team Sunlight had to be insane. This wasn’t the internet, did they really think that there were as many blind followers in the audience?

Everyone had seen it with their own eyes. The leader had even offered you unlimited attempts at challenging them, giving you the win if you could last 20 minutes!

They relied on their strength, and this strength was exactly what had impressed their fans, but as for you, other than boasting and creating more drama, what else was your Team Sunlight good for?!

The shouting started out as a jumbled mess, but slowly, order was found within them. Xiao Duo Duo took on the role of a conductor, “Sunlight trash” with a raise of his hand and “disappear” as his hand lowered!

“Sunlight trash, disappear!”

“Sunlight trash, disappear!!!”

Bing Bing, Nine Days, and the rest of Team Sunlight were on the verge of exploding, the guests really had to commend them for still being able to stand under the wave of poison that was being sent their way.

It was like those fights kids got into, if they couldn’t win, they’d just sniff back their tears and turn to leave, muttering along the way, “Just you wait, just you wait!!”

That was exactly what Team Sunlight was doing, looking as though they’d be back for revenge, but that was just an act to save some face and the last few shreds of dignity they had.

When going to watch a football match live, a peculiar phenomenon would occur. A large majority of people weren’t going for the game itself, but rather, to flame the teams. Anger like that was infectious, and even if you were a person of high integrity, even if you had had a good education and a pleasant upbringing, you would still unknowingly get swept up by the waves of anger from the bleachers, releasing your inner demon and shouting swear words you didn’t even know you knew.

Demacia Cafe was still one of the better high-end cybercafes. Company managers and bosses from the city gathered here, but they were yelling all the same, and then they would use the football phenomenon as an excuse for their behaviour.

I have class, I have integrity, it’s just that those people were too despicable and wicked, amen!

Seeing Team Sunlight get forced out of the cafe by the unending voices of rage, Luocheng had a shocked expression on his face.

To be honest, he hadn’t expected the people at the cafe to be so protective of him and his team.

But, like, sure, go ahead and flame them. However, why was there a sort of artistic echo at the end of every “disappear” with a very rhythmic “yeah disappear!”

I get that you’re really passionate and I’m thankful, but did you really need a beat!?

***

“Haha, Mr. Leader, you’re really something!” Mr. Lei gave Luocheng a big thumbs up.

The main reason people came to Demacia Cafe was because they just liked it here. When their defending team was up against a team from another cafe, they probably didn’t really hope for their team to lose, but the fame and popularity of Team Sunlight had blinded them and clouded their judgement.

However, as soon as Team Skycrown stepped up next to Team Sunlight, the truth quickly made itself clear. Most people had some form of rationality, and they knew what it meant to be an LPL team, add that on to the 18 minute torture fest and badass declaration against the entire country from their leader!

Comparing them both, Team Sunlight’s Nine Days and Bing Bing really looked like a steaming pile of sh*t.

***

Once the mob had successfully chased off Team Sunlight, they all came huddling around Team Skycrown!

“I totally called it! I figured out those guys were Team Skycrown ages ago, but you lot didn’t believe me. Look, that’s the Lone Gull whose Jax defeated the number one Renekton player!” A teen pointed at Da Luo.

“Yeah, yeah, I wonder who was the one who said that he could hold up in lane against the defending team’s top lane!? Screw you!” His friend looked at him in disgust.

“F*ck, and you guys said the defending team’s Support was trash, why don’t you go 1 vs 1 against him now!” The teen, Qiu Guang, was upset as well, retaliating back.

Those words hung boldly in the air, and everyone, including the manager, Xiao Duo Duo, had relentlessly mocked and berated their defending team’s Support. Some people had even created a Support fan group, coming into the cafe daily, chomping on sunflower seeds and drinking tea, not to see how well Da Luo or Lin Dong played, but to watch what new tricks the Support could use to troll this time!

But now, tears fell from their eyes once they learned the truth. Don’t even think about solo-ing him, the host Bao Jun had once announced on the LPL that this guy was the God-like figure who had almost destroyed Blood Eagle in a 1 vs 1!

“I knew from the start that this guy was playing with his feet!” Feng Da slapped Qiu Guang over the head, laughing as he did.

Qiu Guang glanced sideways at Feng Da, biting his tongue to keep him from saying things he wouldd regret. D*mn it, he wondered who was the guy that came to watch the troll Support no matter rain or shine, and who was the one who laughed the loudest whenever the Support made a mistake. Really, you never knew what grovellers people could become when they wanted to!

“Say, do you take apprentices? I’m really talented! I got to Gold rank in only about three thousand games, can you teach me how to play Lee Sin!” a college-aged student with thick-rimmed glasses said.

“Hehe, do you mind carrying girls? I like going to the bottom lane, we can play together before midnight, and we can even play together after midnight~”

“Can you take a photo with me? My classmates on WeChat are going to be so jealous.”

“Actually, I’ve been hard-stuck in Platinum 1, I can’t seem to get to Diamond, can you guys give me some pointers? All my buddies are getting to Diamond, I’m the only one left, it’s kind of embarrassing.”

Luocheng hadn’t even gotten the chance to sit down before he was bombarded with questions and requests, all 5 of them couldn’t keep up.

Furthermore, when there were cute, bubbly girls giggling in their ears, suddenly, the bad taste that Team Sunlight had left in their mouths was gone!

You try having a sweet-smelling beauty whisper into your ear, “I wonder if your LOL skills are as good as your skills in other… activities?”

Oh my God, blood was rushing right up to their heads!

Luocheng had heard rumors that the wealthy women and young ladies in the cafe were actually really lonely and also, very open. He hadn’t expected those rumors to be true. What was that phone number, f*ck, can you all just shut up for a second and let me write down this girl’s number!? One…seven…two…and then…d*mn it…who’s ugly face was that!? It scared me so bad I forgot the rest.

“Everything’s on the house today, okay? Remember to keep coming back to our Demacia Cafe! Whenever our resident Gods have a competition, I’ll be sure to notify you all through text and WeChat!” Boss Lei boomed in confidence.

Everyone cheered even louder after hearing Boss Lei’s announcement. It was originally just an interview, but now, it had become a free party!

It had been a while since Team Skycrown had eaten a decent meal, city center cybercafes were really something else. High-class parties like this were just a dream for them before this.
