Welcome to Your 18th Birthday - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: No, I’m socially anxious

At the same time, in the VOR team training room, Jiang Xian had just adjusted the camera and started broadcasting when tens of thousands of viewers poured in the moment the broadcast started. The layers of comments almost drowned out the entire screen.

[Xian God!! I love you!!!]

[It’s late but it’s time to make up for the time at the end of the month, but usually the live broadcast starts on the 28th, why did it start earlier this month!]

[Is my husband playing on the Chinese server or the Korean server today?]

[Grandma, the professional player you follow has finally started broadcasting!]

[Good evening, husband! How many hours are you playing today?]

“Good evening.” Jiang Xian sank into his black gaming chair and replied to a comment that just happened to pass by, “I’ll play until 12 o’clock today and then go off.”

[Xian God, what hero are you playing today?]

[Xian God! My roommate wants to see you play Nidalee before he dies.]

[Husband, are you going to destroy the other three lanes today too?]

“I’m not going to play jungle today. I’m going to play in the low-level tier with a small account.”

Seeing that Jiang Xian’s mouse stayed on the fill-in button, the barrage of comments became agitated.

[Hubby, don’t think too arrogantly. Last time you played as a shooter to counter jungle, you were beaten by the opponent’s mid, jungle and support. You even used your flash crookedly. Do you remember?]

[I advise you not to go to other lanes to cause trouble.]

“Last time…” Jiang Xian dragged out the tone lazily, and tapped the keyboard twice casually. “Last time was an accident. Today I’ll open your eyes to what is meant by five roads leading to heaven.”

After saying that, he ignored the barrage of question marks on the screen and clicked the button for the qualifying match.

He entered the diamond segment queue almost instantly. As soon as the loading interface lit up, the couple logos on the first and second floors were particularly eye-catching. Jiang Xian set his eyes on the auxiliary logo next to his ID.

Tang Li, a teammate sitting next to Jiang Xian, glanced at his captain’s computer screen from the corner of his eye, and suddenly slid his gaming chair to Jiang Xian’s elbow, faking his voice like a girl and said, “Captain, do you need some help with this one~”

Tang Li, the main support of the VOR team and the team’s “source of joy”, has long coveted Jiang Xian’s custom keyboard. Unfortunately, after working together for several years, he has never used it once.

“Get lost.” Jiang Xian said in disgust, hooked his toes on the pulley of Tang Li’s gaming chair and used the force to push it forward. The black gaming chair drew a smooth arc and stopped steadily at Tang Li’s position.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was completely boosted by this little episode. Amidst the screen full of laughter, a tender voice suddenly rang out.

“Sweetheart Baby Mengmeng” flashed the microphone logo, “Honey, I want to play mid lane~”

The ID “Flower Guardian Little Wolf Dog” quickly agreed, turned on the microphone and said to the ID “Rabbit is Super Fierce”, “Brother, I will carry you but let my wife play mid.”

Before “Rabbit is super fierce” who had three mid-lane heroes in the pre-selection bar could react, Lee Sin had already won 5 consecutive games three times.

[Flower Guardian Little Wolf Dog]: Lee Sin’s 5th consecutive win

[Flower Guardian Little Wolf Dog]: Lee Sin’s 5th consecutive win

[Flower Guardian Little Wolf Dog]: Lee Sin’s 5th consecutive win

On the other side of the network, Xu Du had just pressed the confirmation button to complete his meal, when he looked up and saw “Sweetheart Baby Mengmeng”‘s Lillia locking onto the mid unit.

The diamond game was easy for Xu Du. Seeing the team’s support chose the hero “Rakan”, he did not want to argue and locked on the hero “Xayah”.

At the beginning of the game, Xu Du controlled Xayah and rushed to the line of soldiers quickly. Jiang Xian’s Rakan moved cautiously in the river and carefully observed the vision. The enemy AD and the support cooperated well, and they suppressed fiercely as soon as they went online, releasing skills one after another towards Xia.

Xu Du stared at the screen, relying on his precise grasp of the game rhythm, he used the soldiers to block positions, cleverly avoided enemy skills, and at the same time found the right gap to release skills, and the number of last hits steadily increased.

On the other hand, Lee Sin made many mistakes in his jungle at the beginning, releasing skills at the wrong time and poorly controlling the health of wild monsters, which resulted in a very slow jungle clearing speed. Soon, the enemy jungler seized the opportunity and ambushed at the red buff, using a series of skills. Lee Sin had no power to resist and gave up the first blood.

Lillia in the middle lane was also in trouble. Facing the strong laning of the enemy mid laner, her skill hit rate was extremely low and her health was frequently consumed by the enemy. Within a few minutes, she was killed by the enemy under the tower.

The situation became increasingly unfavorable. After Lee Sin resurrected, he invaded the enemy jungle again, but was double-teamed by the enemy jungler and mid laner, and was killed again. Lillia was also caught by the enemy jungler in the middle lane and died again. The two’s record quickly became 0-3 and 0-4.

Jiang Xian couldn’t help but shift his perspective to Lee Sin and Lillia, and laughed, “The funeral home’s sales are not as hardworking as these two.”

Finally, after Lee Sin and Lillia were both killed once again, he decisively signaled Xayah in the game, “Request a gathering.”

[Teammate] Dskspk123 (Rakan): If you don’t pick up the gold coins from these two ATMs, it would be a shame for their sincerity in rushing to reincarnate.

Xu Du understood immediately, and the two of them headed straight for the middle lane. The arrogant Syndra pushed the lane recklessly because she had killed Lillia many times, not realizing the danger was approaching. Luo rushed in instantly, and Syndra was firmly controlled. Xu Du’s Xayah immediately exploded, and feathers poured out. The enemy Syndra fell under the defense tower before she could react.

After taking down the little dragon, the team’s economy increased rapidly. With the keen awareness of a professional player, Jiang Xian frequently used skills to create an excellent output environment for Xayah. Xayah, operated by Xu Du, was at full power, and her attacks were fast and accurate.

Rakan and Xayah led the team in a fierce attack and soon reached the enemy’s high ground.

The enemy hurriedly defended, but could not stop Rakan and Xayah’s fierce attack, and the defense line collapsed instantly. As the enemy base exploded, the victory sign popped up on the screen.

Victory!

The comments in the live broadcast room were full of heated discussions amid the victory, and most of them were curious about Xayah.

[I watched Xayah’s movements the whole time, all kinds of extreme pulls, is this really the level that can be achieved in a diamond tier?]

[Quickly check Xayah’s account, is it some professional god who is secretly bombing fish?]

[Xayah’s last hits are so stable, is there anyone who knows about it, please analyze Xayah’s skills, it feels like they’re not an ordinary person]

[I checked Xia’s record, the record in the past few days does not match the strength shown today, is he a master?]

Seeing that someone was touching Xayah’s ID and trying to add them as a friend in the barrage, Jiang Xian’s expression froze, “Be quiet for a moment, respect other people’s privacy, and don’t affect other people’s gaming experience.”

The barrage paused for two seconds, and was instantly flooded with new content.

[Watching quietly.]

[Xian Shen looks serious like our class teacher.]

[Although I really want to see you two duo, QAQ~]

[Then pull him to duo, Xian God! Don’t force me to kneel down and beg you!!]

“Duo?” Jiang Xian’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly under his black turtleneck sweater. The ranking confirmation box popped up on the game interface. He put on his nonchalant look again and smiled, “No, I’m socially anxious.”

The second round of ranked matches quickly entered the hero selection interface, and our fifth floor ID was the topic center just now, “Rabbit is super fierce”

For the popular program effect, the barrage scrolled even more happily.

[Hahahahahahaha, if this isn’t fate, then what is!]

[System: You never expected that, forced social interaction.]

[Last time they worked so well together, this time will definitely be even more exciting, rubbing our hands in anticipation]

“Everything has been arranged clearly for me.” The fake social phobic Jiang Xian opened the dialog box in the team and quickly typed a line of words.

[Teammate] Dskspk123: Hi, nice to see you again.

At this time, the real social phobia player was staring at the ranking queue in a daze, and the message box that popped up in the team channel made him slightly startled. Xu Du glanced at the support who was talking nonsense in the last game, hesitated for a moment, and tapped his fingertips lightly on the keyboard.

[Teammate] Rabbit is super fierce: Hello.

[Teammate] Dskspk123: Did you use the e-sports male protagonist plug-in just now? Give me a purchase link.

[Teammate] Rabbit is super fierce: No…, it was you who played the support lane well in the last game.

I have to admit that Dskspk123’s auxiliary operation in the last game was amazing. In terms of vision, Dskspk123’s control of the key points of the map was extremely accurate. He could always see the enemy’s movements one step ahead and give the eyes of the key positions.

This is not a level that an ordinary player can reach.

The teammates in the second game were normal, and the two got their own routes as they wished.

In the third minute of the game, Jiang Xian’s Nidalee cleverly blocked the vision and invaded forcefully. Xu Du controlled the LeBlanc accurately and instantly defeated the enemy jungler. At this time, the middle lane soldiers were firmly controlled by Xu Du in the killing position.

In the eighth minute, Xu Du keenly seized the vacuum period of the third-level soldiers and completed the tower crossing and killing in one go. The defense tower could only hit it once helplessly. The operation was extremely delicate.

In the fifteenth minute, Xu Du successfully tricked out three big moves of the enemy. Jiang Xian’s Nidalee took advantage of the situation and rushed three people in a row. Under the key pull of Xu Du’s LeBlanc, the enemy’s defense line completely collapsed and the crystal exploded.

Xu Du’s LeBlanc became the MVP of this game.

The final record of the two stayed at 15/0/9 and 12/0/14.

[Even if I’m dreaming, I would have never achieved this in the diamond tier.]

[Is this mid laner really not a professional player? Many professional players can’t do his tower dive…]

[If I were to run into this, I would have to beg him for a friend status!!]

[If I could meet one of you two in a diamond game, I wouldn’t have to struggle in a diamond game until now.]

[The comment before me, why don’t you think about whether it’s your own problem or not.]

Jiang Xian glanced at the comments and responded, “The mid laner is indeed strong.”

After two games, Jiang Xian became interested in the person behind “Rabbit is Super Fierce”. He took the phone beside him, opened the memo, wrote down Xu Du’s ID, and then clicked on the next ranking game.

Unfortunately, their fate ended here tonight, and they never met again in subsequent games.

The clock quickly ticked towards twelve o’clock as the game went on. Jiang Xian ignored the constant requests for “one more game” from the comments section and said, “We professional players need to go to bed early and get up early—”

The next second, the screen of the live broadcast room went black and the wailing of the barrage stopped abruptly.
