Chapter 39: A Chance Encounter with PDD! Venomous Devourer!

After understanding the mission, Su Mo turned his attention to the livestream room.

A few minutes passed, and the viewership had already climbed to 600,000 and was continuing to rise rapidly.

Su Mo glanced at the bullet chat.

"Brother Mo, what on earth are you playing? This is way too solar-powered [unrealistic/troll]!"

"Shaco is so useless in this meta; he can only annoy his teammates."

"Brother Mo, your top laner is playing Sion. Any thoughts on that?"

"A single game with a Sion top and a Shaco jungle... it's hard to imagine how miserable the other three people must feel."

"I hope the enemy team is strong enough to hang Mo-ge up and beat him!"

"..."

The comments made Su Mo smile slightly.

Shaco wasn't exactly a powerful champion, but he was a man who possessed a Top-Tier Proficiency Card.

Playing in a Master tier lobby should be more than enough.

He just wondered which lane the female streamer mentioned by the system would play. He prayed she wouldn't pick a tank, otherwise, the mission difficulty would jump up an entire dimension.

While Su Mo was reading the comments, his teammates had already finished their hero selections.

He quickly selected his runes, swapped to Smite and Ignite, and the game countdown began.

Su Mo took this opportunity to check both teams' compositions.

His Blue Side composition

Top: Sion Jungle: Shaco Mid: Ryze ADC: Ezreal Support: Thresh

The enemy Red Side composition

Top: Renekton Jungle: Master Yi Mid: Ahri ADC: Jinx Support: Lulu

Looking at the lineups, Su Mo felt his own team's composition was somewhat abstract—it was the kind of team where everyone just picked randomly without caring if the champions synergized at all.

The enemy composition, however, looked much more reasonable.

Completing the mission this game wouldn't be easy.

As soon as Su Mo finished reviewing the lineups, the countdown ended.

The game entered the loading screen.

Su Mo's first instinct was to look at the IDs of the five opponents.

As he looked, his expression became somewhat strange.

He discovered that the enemy Renekton's ID was "Chen Meng Ang Zhi."

If he remembered correctly, this was the streamer PDD from the Shark streaming platform, also known as "Teacher Piao."

As a former LPL professional player, PDD had shone brightly during the S3 era and accumulated a massive fanbase. After retiring, he entered the streaming industry, and due to his humorous and funny style, he quickly became a top-tier streamer in the League of Legends category on Shark.

The only person who could truly go toe-to-toe with PDD at this time was Luwei.

Luwei hadn't been banned yet, and her popularity was equally terrifying.

Meeting PDD was quite a surprise to Su Mo, but what puzzled him was: where was the female streamer the system mentioned?

He scanned the list, but didn't see any familiar female IDs on the opposing team.

Frowning, Su Mo opened the livestream chat.

Sure enough, he found the answer immediately.

"Holy crap, the enemy top laner is Teacher Piao!"

"PDD's Renekton is pretty fierce; top lane is going to be a bloodbath this game."

"It looks like Teacher Piao is duo-queueing with Sister Zhou."

"I just checked, it's true. The enemy Master Yi is played by Zhou Shuyi."

"I was hoping the enemy would have a strong jungler to beat up Brother Mo, but looks like there's no hope now."

"With this Blue Side composition, Brother Mo's team is definitely going to lose. It's ridiculous that the other three aren't even even [at least decent]."

"I hope Teacher Piao can beat the crap out of Brother Mo to vent our frustrations!"

"..."

The viewers were gloating.

Many people had already reached a conclusion regarding the outcome of this game: a loss!

After all, no one believed a team composition of Sion top and Shaco jungle could win—even if there was a Gold-level player like Zhou Shuyi on the other side.

At this moment, Su Mo's eyes lit up completely.

The enemy's Master Yi was being played by the "Venomous Devourer"!

Originally, he had thought that if the opponent was a female streamer like Rita or Luo Xin, he might feel a bit bad about playing aggressively. After all, ganking someone to death twenty times would be quite cruel.

But Zhou Shuyi was different.

This woman would later go on to date a disgraced celebrity involved in drug scandals; her values were twisted to the extreme.

Forget ganking her twenty times—even if he ganked her two thousand times, Su Mo wouldn't feel any psychological burden.

Thinking of this, Su Mo began calling out to the system in his mind.

"Deep Blue!"

【Do you wish to immediately use the Top-Tier Shaco Proficiency Card?】

"Yes!"

In the next instant, a massive amount of Shaco-related techniques flooded into Su Mo's mind.

It felt as if his entire being had been sublimated.

...

Meanwhile, on the Shark streaming platform, in Zhou Shuyi's livestream room.

At this time, Zhou Shuyi had not yet been embroiled in the "Yi Lu Tong Xing" scandal, so her viewership remained high, maintaining around two million. Although she wasn't quite at PDD's level, she was considered one of the leading streamers in the LOL category.

"Teacher Piao, the enemy actually has a Shaco jungle. I don't have to worry this game," Zhou Shuyi said giggling over voice chat.

She had specifically asked PDD to play with her today, hoping to ride his traffic. However, PDD said low-elo games were boring and insisted on playing in a Master tier lobby, so she had to borrow an account from a fan to duo with him.

Originally, she intended to play support and just chill, but unexpectedly, the system assigned her the jungle role. Left with no choice, she picked the simplest champion, Master Yi, to jungle.

At first, she was a bit nervous, fearing she would be bullied by the enemy jungler. But upon seeing Shaco, her fear vanished instantly. In her impression, Master Yi playing against Shaco was like a father playing against a son.

"Shaco isn't a very useful champion," PDD said, taking a puff of a cigarette and making a joke. "Sister Zhou, are you confident you can crush him?"

"Once I farm a bit and hit level six, I can beat him easily," Zhou Shuyi replied with absolute certainty.

"But I just saw someone in the chat say the Shaco is Mo, the EDG substitute top laner. He's the one who made Sion and Karma popular in top lane," PDD couldn't help but praise. "Even though I didn't watch the matches today, I heard he performed incredibly well, making even Letme go into a state of self-isolation."

Hearing this, Zhou Shuyi sneered. "He only knows how to play those weird, unconventional picks. Daring to play a champion like Shaco in a Master lobby... Teacher Piao, just watch how I teach him a lesson this game!"

PDD frowned slightly at her words but said nothing.

As they spoke, the game prompt sounded

"Welcome to League of Legends!"

The ten players descended into Summoner's Rift one after another.

The game had begun.

"Teacher Piao, I'll mainly focus on farming jungle early on. I'll come help you gank after I hit level six," Zhou Shuyi said.

PDD instinctively refused. "Don't bother helping me gank. Just take care of yourself and focus on being the carry."

"Fine then. I'll go counter-jungle the Shaco later and show the brothers in the stream how good I am."

As she spoke, Zhou Shuyi stretched her wrists and added, "Brothers, I'm opening a bet. Bet on whether I can kill the enemy Shaco five times this game. If you think I can, bet on the left; if you think I can't, bet on the right."

Hearing her words, the viewers in the stream began placing bets.

In just a few seconds, over three hundred viewers bet "can," while only a little over a hundred bet "cannot."

At the same time, the bullet chat began to discuss heatedly

"Brothers, just blindly bet left. In this meta, Shaco is no different from a super minion."

"Even though I don't trust Sister Zhou's skill, Master Yi is a champion you can play as long as you have hands. It shouldn't be hard to beat Shaco."

"Mo playing top is pretty annoying, but it's just long-range vs. short-range. I don't think he's that great."

"Given Letme's skill level, there's nothing to brag about if he made him go into self-isolation, right?"

"Heh, no matter how bad Mo is, he's still a professional player. I bet he can't!"

"..."
