“In ranked matches, there are a lot of experts, and they play very by the book. Anyone who’s played ranked can totally crush us… In short, anyone who can play ranked is out of your little newbies’ league.”

“I met my mentor here at Longsheng Internet Café, and he plays ranked,” David Morgan said.

None of them had ever played ranked before, so after hearing this, everyone started to feel a bit envious of David Morgan.

“If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll have my mentor take you guys for a few games, so you can see what a real expert is like. Alright, it’s starting—step on it, step hard, make me feel good, and I’ll treat you all to a feast for late-night snacks,” David Morgan said.

“Alright, Mr. Morgan said it, we’re getting a big meal.”

Everyone in Class Three was excited. They all knew David Morgan’s family was rich, and most people liked to hang around him. Plus, being able to stomp on their old rivals from Class Eight was a satisfying thing—who told them to be so overconfident?

“Welcome to League of Legends!”

The familiar synthesized female computer voice rang out. Although it sounded pleasant, you could actually sense that the voice was dignified, serious, and a bit stiff.

Jason Bennett picked Blitzcrank. He knew that in this kind of match, there was no concept of a level-one team fight or pulling jungle monsters, so he just moved Blitzcrank to the lane early.

“You two top laners, be careful. Wait until the minion wave passes before going into the bush, watch out for ambushes,” Eric Carter reminded Ethan Foster and Mark Bailey.

“Oh, okay.” The two nodded repeatedly.

You two top laners…

Why does that sound so awkward?

All newbies have this bad habit: before the minions even reach the lane, they run into the bushes. The goal is to ambush others, and, to be honest, another reason is just to see if there’s anyone hiding inside.

Face-checking the bush, and you get ganked!

Friends, cherish your dignity.

Jason Bennett’s Blitzcrank was standing under the tower, so he decided to switch his view to the top lane.

On top lane, Mark Bailey’s Master Yi and Ethan Foster’s Garen weren’t standing in the safety zone of the tower. Instead, they were wandering around the bushes. If there were five people hiding there, these two would definitely get dragged in and ganked.

No one on Class Three’s side took Smite either; they were also running a 2-1-2 formation.

Since there was no jungler, Jason Bennett, as support, only brought one ward. He figured there wouldn’t be much roaming early on in this kind of match, so bringing more wards would just be a waste of money.

Jason Bennett controlled Blitzcrank to stand at the edge of the first bush, putting his first skill point into “Q: Rocket Grab.”

Lily Harris’s Miss Fortune stood a bit behind him.

At this point, the minion wave had arrived.

Both sides’ melee minions clashed, while the ranged minions, swaying those things that looked like skirts or capes, arrived a bit later and then started throwing things at each other too.

The melee minions on both sides quickly got low on health. At that moment, a man in black and red clothes carrying a big spear jumped out of the enemy bush and casually last-hit a minion.

Meanwhile, our Miss Fortune was still calmly standing behind Jason Bennett’s Blitzcrank, with a “if the enemy doesn’t move, I don’t move; if the enemy moves, I still don’t move” attitude!

“What are you doing? Last-hit the minions!” Jason Bennett said to Lily Harris.

“Aren’t you going to grab someone? I’m waiting for you to pull them over,” Lily Harris replied.

“…” Jason Bennett watched with tears in his eyes as the enemy melee minions were killed one by one, while Lily Harris still didn’t last-hit any.

An ADC who doesn’t last-hit?

With a teammate like this, how could you not lose?

Miss Fortune finally left the bush, swaying her little waist and perky butt, stretched out the two barrels in her hands, and fired her first shot!

“Hah!” Miss Fortune let out a cute shout. The bullet hit the first minion, then accurately bounced to another minion…

And then didn’t kill a single one.

The first wave of minions was quickly cleared. Jason Bennett pressed the TAB key and looked speechlessly at Miss Fortune’s CS count: “1.” In his heart, millions of grass-mud horses galloped by.

Is this the legendary “leave it to fate” last-hitting technique?

Bro, ADCs don’t play like this in bot lane!

……

“Hehe, the boss taught me last week: wait until the minion is low on health, then hit it, and you can get the gold more accurately. Didn’t expect it to really work—just one wave and I got 7. The enemy Miss Fortune only got 1, what an idiot,” said Emma Reed from Class Three, in his duck-like voice.

Emma Reed—normally, nobody even knew who he was, but ever since he started playing League of Legends, all the newbies under level 20 in the class started hanging around him, and his vanity was instantly satisfied.

Today, he had even boasted to his classmates that he would get at least 20 kills as ADC this match!

Emma Reed was playing “Graves, the Outlaw,” nicknamed “Graves.” His skills were indeed much better than Lily Harris’s. He knew to use his abilities to poke Miss Fortune while last-hitting minions.

By around level 3, Miss Fortune had already used up all three of her health potions.

Jason Bennett was still crouching in the bush. He knew there was someone hiding in the enemy bush too—a tanky Garen, the Might of Demacia.

Jason Bennett could easily hook him, but if he pulled Garen over, Garen would probably thank him, then use his big silencing sword on both him and the sexy Miss Fortune.
