Chapter 39
Xiao Yin’s words seemed to have a double meaning.
Rong Yi glanced at the economy panel and then said, “When I’m with you, just don’t wander off.”
“Not every ADC can sync with the Spring God.”
Mentioning the game, Rong Yi’s voice turned calm and confident.
Xiao Yin suddenly laughed, “What about me?”
Rong Yi chuckled even more boldly, “Depends on your skills.”
After saying that, he moved past Xiao Yin, casting a soft control in the bot lane. Coincidentally, Yao Cao emerged from the bush he was hiding in and was precisely caught by the skill, immobilizing his movement.
Xiao Yin followed up, unleashing a few skills that drained half of Yao Cao’s health. As Yao Cao entered attack range, Xiao Yin retreated. Just as he pulled back, Rong Yi flew over his head and healed him.
Health +233.
Xiao Yin’s total health was 8000.
The bullet screen in the livestream was filled with laughter: “The Spring God’s healing is indeed the worst among supports.”
“Almost, almost, the natural regen is faster than this healing.”
“The Spring God’s healing stacks with his passive; the more skills he hits, the stronger the healing. It’s just the beginning, let’s see if Yin-Ge can keep up.”
Others in their respective lanes were having a blast. Wu Daogu started messing around after misallocating his skills at the start. Grey Cat was nearly getting obliterated in the top lane.
Hydralisk, who had taken on the moniker Yin-Yin, was rumored to be the next Yin-God, but had already fed four times, making him the poorest in the game.
In contrast, Xiao Yin’s ADC seemed the most normal in the game.
“Now the pressure is on the bot lane!”
Netizens were stirring things up.
VIT was playing completely randomly and had been behind for twenty minutes, with an average economic deficit of over a thousand gold.
“Indeed,” Rong Yi said, glancing at the economy panel, “only Yin can still… be salvaged.”
Yao Cao, benefiting from his team’s lead, had 2000 more gold than Xiao Yin, making him a tough opponent to face head-on.
Xiao Yin was cautious, constantly positioning himself backward to ensure optimal resource gain, while Rong Yi kept leading him forward aggressively.
Yao Cao and his matched casual player support were nearby. Rong Yi was probing everywhere, always flirting with danger, flaunting little emoji dances to taunt.
Spring God is an incredibly graceful male support, modeled after the traditional Chinese Spring God, Jumang. His figure is elegant, and his idle animation is a poised sleeve adjustment.
Very attractive, yet very punchable.
“Ah Yi, fall back a bit,” Xiao Yin said.
“Don’t be afraid, I got you,” Rong Yi chuckled. For a moment, he got carried away and carelessly said, “With me as your support, you’re worried?”
The others widened their eyes.
They had never heard Rong Yi say something like this before.
Nor had they seen anyone dare to speak to Xiao Yin this way.
The bullet screen in the livestream erupted in screams.
“Holy crap, that’s so cool! Yi-God is amazing!”
“Yin-Ge, did you hear that? Easy’s got your back!”
“The interaction between these two is so intriguing!”
Xiao Yin merely lifted his eyes slightly and looked at him.
Rong Yi was clearly in a good mood today. These moments of relaxed, carefree playing were rare, and he maneuvered the support role with ease. The corners of his peach blossom eyes were slightly curved, sharp and beautiful.
Rong Yi noticed Xiao Yin wasn’t speaking for a moment, but with just a glance, he saw Xiao Yin directly facing Yao Cao, his health nearly depleted. He quickly turned back, pressed a few skills, and fully healed Xiao Yin.
He had spent enough time around Xiao Yin and had already maxed out his passive. Xiao Yin coordinated with his positioning, proactively engaging with the passive, pulling off a coordinated takedown despite their economic disadvantage.
Some netizens noticed something.
“Wow, is this Spring God’s healing? Did I miss something? How did the healing suddenly get so strong?”
“Easy and Yin’s coordination is so stable. He’s just stacking his passive on him, and he’s laying down retreat positions for Yin. The enemy has no way to approach.”
Xiao Yin also started to play more aggressively.
Originally, he wasn’t very familiar with playing ADC, so he avoided fights early on and positioned cautiously. After Rong Yi joined, he followed his lead and became more daring.
The opponents made a mistake, and they seized the opportunity, rapidly expanding their advantage.
Rong Yi kept jumping around above Xiao Yin’s head, then leaping into enemy clusters, giving the impression of a duo gang fight.
Rong Yi’s healing was intense. He always timed his abilities and passive cooldowns perfectly, using his skills at the last critical second. Xiao Yin’s health bar was like a roller coaster, fluctuating between life and death, yet miraculously, he never died.
Whenever Rong Yi called out an enemy’s location, Xiao Yin would charge in that direction, sometimes even using Flash to coordinate. The more they fought, the bolder they became, diving deep into the enemy jungle to ambush. One would control and heal, while the other would deal high damage and secure kills no one could stop them.
“No one can handle them anymore; Yin has taken off.”
“Easy is really, really strong… His champion pool is so deep! This is the first time I’ve seen Spring God with such high healing numbers!”
Yao Cao was on the opposing team, getting killed left and right.
The enemy support was a casual player playing Earth Mother and didn’t coordinate well with him.
In contrast, Rong Yi knew exactly how to catch Yao Cao, and with Xiao Yin’s help, they ganked him five times. Afterward, they moved on to other positions.
Yao Cao had been killed so many times he lost all economic value.
The rest of the enemy team, also casual players, were on the verge of collapse.
Because it was an anonymous ranked match, the enemy team didn’t know they were up against pro players, and some started talking nonsense.
“Are the enemies a couple? Guys, we can lose the game, but we must kill the couple! Charge!!”
“The enemy support must die!”
At that moment, Rong Yi was hopping around again. Mid-jump, he flew over to heal the passing Grey Cat, but he had gone too far and couldn’t return in time. Suddenly, four enemies converged and killed Rong Yi on the spot.
Grey Cat was low health, but they ignored him, chasing Rong Yi across the map, finally venting their frustration.
Just as they caught their breath, Xiao Yin entered the fray, activating Bloodlust mode, and went on a killing spree.
The enemies who had just chased down Rong Yi lost their momentum and retreated. Xiao Yin wasn’t done; he chased them across the map, diving under the turret to secure a Quadra Kill.
Rong Yi respawned slowly, and just as he left the fountain, he saw the enemy chatting wildly in the chat panel.
“Enemy ADC Empress is amazing, can we get to know each other?”
Xiao Yin didn’t respond; his Bloodlust mode was on cooldown, still waiting for the cooldown to finish.
“Why isn’t Empress responding to me? Look at me! How about we queue together next game? If you’re looking for a duo partner, I’m your guy.” soft voice, sweet personality, and I won’t be a deadweight~”
The livestream chat was buzzing with excitement.
“Wow, flirting directly in the game, huh? Bold move.”
“Looking for a duo partner? Damn, I’m so jealous.”
“Hold up, you might not want to be too jealous; there’s a good chance they’re not a girl.”
Xiao Yin replied.
Rong Yi was enjoying the show and pulled up the chat window to take a look.
[Blue Side Anonymous Player (Empress)]: “Didn’t notice.”
[Blue Side Anonymous Player (Empress)]: “You kinda suck at this game.”
Absolutely rational and mercilessly blunt.
The livestream chat exploded with laughter.
“Amazing, that’s Yin-Ge for you. Very few people can catch his eye.”
“This is peak straight man energy! Help!”
“Nice, very cold, very Yin.”
The enemy quickly started to whine and play cute.
“Then why did Empress keep chasing me? QAQ Are you sure you’re not into me?”
Rong Yi was dying of laughter but still silently got back online, stacking his passive for Xiao Yin while holding his breath to watch the drama unfold.
[Blue Side Anonymous Player (Empress)]: “Because you killed my support.”
