“Hey, it’s you. What’s up?” Zhou Chao opened the door and saw the butler who had previously delivered tea to him.

“Mr. Zhou, my master would like to invite you to our house tomorrow. Do you have time?” The butler nodded slightly and respectfully inquired.

“Tomorrow? I happen to be free tomorrow. No problem. What time?”

“Tomorrow at noon.”

“Alright, I got it.”

The butler gave a slight bow and left.

Zhou Chao watched the butler’s departing figure and couldn’t help but sigh. “It would be great if 1 had such a good butler. I should have Ling Chen find me a good butler and nanny.”

After a moment of contemplation, he closed the door and walked into the house.

“I’m curious about our neighbor with the last name Zhang. I’m not sure if tomorrow’s invitation is for a special event or just a casual get-together. Well, no use pondering it now. I’ll find out tomorrow when I attend!”

Back in the house, he became lazy again and lay on the sofa, playing with his phone.

“LOL Summer Split officially starts!!” While browsing through Mou Yin’s content, Zhou Chao suddenly came across a video about the League of Legends Summer Split.

“Summer Split has started?” Zhou Chao looked at it with a hint of curiosity.

Soon, he finished watching the entire video. The Summer Split officially started today, on June 1st, and would last for 11 weeks with round-robin matches. Each club had its own home venue.

“Does this mean that Meng Sanqian and the others are going back to Rong City?” Zhou Chao immediately sat up from the sofa and called Meng Sanqian.

The phone rang four or five times before someone answered on the other end.

“Hello, boss, sorry, I was packing just now!”

No problem. I saw that the LOL Summer Split has started. Do you guys need to return to Rong City to play?”

“Yes, we’re packing our bags, and we’ll take an early flight tomorrow.”

“Alright, 1 got it. Play well and aim for the championship!”

“Yes, boss!” Meng Sanqian felt motivated, knowing that this was Zhou Chao’s encouragement and a test for them.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao also did some thinking. After all, entering the world of LOL esports was just a casual move for him. As for how far they could go, it would depend on them.

However, Zhou Chao had a lot of information about the people he chose. After all, in another world, they had all stood on the highest podium, and he believed they wouldn’t disappoint him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chao remembered the two gaming chairs he had specially purchased earlier. He picked up his phone and headed downstairs.

As he entered the game room, he saw two cool-looking spaceship-style gaming chairs placed in the center of the room. He was about to sit down when a thought flashed through his mind, and he turned and walked out.

In a short while, Zhou Chao returned with a plate of fruit, a jug of watermelon juice, and some snacks.

After arranging everything, he turned on the computer, adjusted it to the most comfortable angle, and started playing League of Legends.

It had been a while since he last played, so he checked the lineup and any changes in the game, as well as the equipment builds.

But he quickly stopped researching and realized that there weren’t many changes. As a player who was exceptionally versatile in any role, he could carry in any position he played.

Soon, both sides had selected their lineups. Zhou Chao played jungle as a backup position. Observing the lineups of both teams and analyzing the situation of pushing lanes, he already had a rough idea. If his teammates didn’t perform well, he would have to focus on farming in the jungle to develop his economy and then look for opportunities to gank.

Zhou Chao was playing Rengar, while the opposing jungler was Graves. In the early game, he knew he couldn’t win against Graves, a high-damage, fast-clearing, and invading hero. So, he had his top laner place a ward at the blue buff location and then started with the red buff.

Facing a champion like Graves with high damage, fast clearing speed, and easy invades in the early game, Zhou Chao had no choice but to go for a quick level 3-

Glancing at the time, Zhou Chao was busy farming the toad camp while taking a quick look at the top lane where Jax was facing off against Malphite. Jax was about to push the lane in the early game. Seeing this situation, Zhou Chao had a bad feeling about what was going to happen next.

He frantically pinged for a retreat signal. He knew that this was the moment Graves would likely gank. Graves cleared the jungle relatively quickly, and this timing was just right.

Moreover, Graves had the red buff, making ganking even easier.

While signaling his team, Zhou Chao quickly moved closer to the top lane after finishing farming the toad camp. As expected, as soon as Zhou Chao approached the top tower, he spotted Graves emerging from the brush, wielding a massive shotgun.

Jax noticed that Zhou Chao’s Rengar was approaching, and he frantically signaled for backup. Seeing this, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but curse under his breath, ‘What a reckless move! Doesn’t he understand the importance of lane control? Even if the lane is pushed, he should’ve played it safe. Besides, I can’t take on Graves right now!

Malphite used his Seismic Shard on Jax, causing Jax to stick to him. Subsequently, Graves used his E ability to dash forward, followed by a smokescreen, and began relentlessly auto-attacking. With Graves’ red buff, Jax’s health was reduced to one-third in an instant.

Seeing Rengar rushing in and marking Graves, Jax continuously held his E ability and struck directly at Graves’ head.

Zhou Chao’s Rengar also instantly joined the fray, not sparing any skills, using them all on Graves. This reduced Graves’ health by half in no time, and a chaotic battle ensued.

Graves and Malphite paid no attention to Rengar and continued to aggressively attack Jax, causing Jax to quickly consume a biscuit to regain some health. However, their efforts were in vain. Just as they retreated, Jax unleashed his E ability, stunning both of them. In response, Zhou Chao swiftly eliminated Graves, leaving Malphite with only half of his health. Despite retreating to their own tower, Malphite ultimately found himself at Rengar’s mercy.

With the initial two kills secured, Rengar quickly reached level six, initiating his hunting game.

Rengar then began invading the enemy jungle, and after being ambushed by Rengar in the enemy jungle twice, Graves no longer dared to enter the jungle freely. Just when he least expected it, Rengar suddenly pounced on him and took him down.

As Rengar continued to pick off opponents, all three lanes fell into disarray. In just 12 minutes, Rengar had become incredibly fed.

As time passed, all three lanes fell into chaos, and even the Dragon was under Zhou Chao’s control.

“Let’s group up and make a final push!” Zhou Chao felt that this game wasn’t very exciting anymore and opened the chat box, preparing to end the game. fr(e)enovelkiss.com

Everyone immediately initiated a team fight. Jax leaped into the fray, stunning four of the enemies, while Rengar followed up with a massive jump, quickly eliminating them. Soon, all five of the opposing team members were defeated beneath the high-ground tower.

As the enemy Nexus exploded, Zhou Chao let out a sigh of relief, picked up some nearby fruit, and began to eat.

“I’m so tired. My teammates are not cooperating at all. If we had a skilled player on our team, I wouldn’t have to work so hard!”

Despite his complaints, Zhou Chao resumed playing the game. 𝒇𝒓𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝙢

After that, he played four more games, winning three and losing one. Unfortunately, Zhou Chao’s performance in the game they lost was the best, but his teammates were entirely unhelpful, leaving him with no chance to turn the tide.

After finishing five games, Zhou Chao began to feel a bit tired. He reached into his pocket, took out a pack of special cigarettes, lit one, and took a deep drag.

“Phew!” It was as if all the fatigue had been swept away in an instant.

Just as Zhou Chao finished smoking and was about to continue gaming, he heard someone calling him from outside.

“Brother Chao, where are you?”

He removed his headphones, adjusted his gaming chair, and got up to go outside.

“What’s going on, wifey?” As soon as he entered the game room, he saw Jiang Li searching for him.

“I’ve been looking for you everywhere, and who knew you were downstairs playing games! Really, you didn’t even invite me to play!” She stood there with her hands on her hips, looking annoyed.

“Alright, let’s play together!” Zhou Chao embraced Jiang Li, gave her a kiss on the forehead, and said softly.

“Hmph, that’s more like it!” Jiang Li gave him a playful look and walked into the game room.

“Wow, this is so cool!” As soon as she walked in, she couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

How is it? Do you like it?” Zhou Chao leaned against the door frame, asking with a playful smile.

“I love it! It’s so cool, Brother Chao, come and teach me how to use it!

Zhou Chao approached and began to teach her how to operate it. It was straightforward, and in no time, Jiang Li had learned.

“Go! Go! Go! Tonight, I’m going to be the coolest player in the Rift!” Jiang Li switched on the computer with a passionate look, and Zhou Chao was surprised to find out that she had the talent of a gaming enthusiast.

Then, the two of them entered the game.

To ensure that she had a better gaming experience, Zhou Chao reluctantly teamed up with Jiang Li as the bottom lane duo. Of course, he played the support role.

He chose Blitzcrank which could tank and deal damage and paired it with Jiang Li’s AD carry, Ashe. The duo’s journey began, painful yet enjoyable.

The torment began quickly as Jiang Li, playing as Ashe, was directly caught and killed by the enemy jungler. Zhou Chao then began online coaching, but still couldn’t fend off Jiang Li’s poor performance. In the first game, Jiang Li ended with a score of 0-12-3.

“Still want to play?” Zhou Chao teased Jiang Li, who looked dejected.

“I want to play. Teach me!”

Sure!

They continued to play until midnight, with more losses than wins, but overall, Jiang Li’s skills had improved slightly.

“In the future, you should stick to the support role, okay? Look, we won the last game!”

“But playing ADC is so much fun! Playing support is boring; 1 don’t like it at all!”

“Take it slowly, and when your skills improve, you can try other roles.”

“Okay.” Jiang Li knew she wasn’t good at the game and could only follow Zhou Chao’s guidance.

“All right, it’s getting late. Let’s rest.”

“Yeah.”

As they got up, their stomachs rumbled.

Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li beside him and smiled. “Are you hungry?”

“A little bit!” Jiang Li blushed and gestured with her small hand.

“What do you want to eat? How about 1 make something?”

“It’s too late to cook now. How about we go out for barbecue?” Jiang Li’s pink tongue licked her lips, and she began to daydream about food.

“My little glutton, let’s get changed and go for barbecue!”

“Let’s just wear our pajamas. It’s too much trouble to change clothes now.” Jiang Li looked at the couple’s pajamas they were wearing.

“Okay, pajamas it is!” Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand as they headed to the garage..
