Chapter 17: So Particular, Disgusting People with Equal Distribution of Favor

"Achoo!"

In the EDG rest area, Abu, who was currently riding high on the excitement of EDG's massive victory in the bot lane teamfight, suddenly let out a sneeze.

"Is someone cursing me out?" he muttered softly.

However, he didn't pay it much mind and continued clapping along with the rest of the EDG members.

While clapping, Abu's gaze was locked firmly onto Mordekaiser on the screen.

He knew that EDG's ability to gain such a massive advantage in this game was inseparable from Su Mo.

By playing top lane, Su Mo had effectively neutralized Letme's Shen, triggering a chain reaction.

If Su Mo had picked a conventional tank top laner and played passively with Letme, EDG would likely be at a disadvantage right now.

Abu also understood that a significant portion of why Su Mo could crush Letme like this was due to luck, as well as Letme's underestimation of his opponent.

But regardless, he suspected that after today, the ID "EDG丶Mo" would echo far and wide, even if EDG ultimately lost.

That would be for the best; at least after Su Mo eventually left EDG, he could rely on today's performance to make a living through streaming and wouldn't starve.

Abu's thoughts drifted away unawares.

Meanwhile, the game continued.

The bot lane teamfight had once again earned Su Mo nearly two hundred "Torment Points," with Uzi alone providing 80 points in one go—a truly generous contribution.

At this moment, the EDG team was buzzing with excitement, a stark contrast to their previous deathly silence.

This bot lane victory had shown everyone a glimmer of hope for victory.

Clearlove's lips curled upward. He was about to head back to the jungle to clear Malphite before recalling, but Su Mo's voice rang out again

"Clear, stop farming. The enemy's top-side Red Buff is about to respawn. Let's go gank Mlxg. Just head straight there; I'll recall to replenish and then TP over."

Although Su Mo hadn't caught Gragas in the enemy's top-side jungle earlier, he had placed a ward in the brush next to the enemy Red Buff.

Based on his calculations, the enemy Red Buff would respawn very soon.

"Is this... a bit too risky? Forget it, I'm in!"

Clearlove wanted to argue, but remembering Su Mo's previous attitude, he decisively agreed.

This guy had a knack for rubbing salt in people's wounds; it was impossible to withstand him!

The key was that what he said always made sense, making it impossible to refute.

Thus, Clearlove decisively traversed the jungle toward the enemy's top-side territory.

The enemy Gragas still had over ten seconds before respawning. If he went now and wasn't spotted by enemy wards, he truly had a chance to ambush him.

"Should I go?" Scout suddenly asked.

"No need. Just play normally and focus on protecting the bot lane," Su Mo replied.

"Oh..." Scout sounded somewhat disappointed. He had no desire to protect the bot lane; after the previous skirmishes, he felt that following the top lane offered more opportunities.

Su Mo gave him the impression that as long as he followed him, he'd get "soup" even if there was no "meat" to eat.

But since Su Mo had said so, he felt too embarrassed to be thick-skinned and push it.

Scout obediently pressed the B key to recall and replenish.

Once he returned from this recall, his level and gold would lead over the enemy Cassiopeia, making fights much easier.

By this time, Su Mo had also finished replenishing, spending all his gold on cooldown reduction items.

After restocking, Su Mo decisively pressed TP, teleporting to the brush next to the enemy's top-side Red Buff.

As the teleport landed, the enemy Red Buff happened to respawn.

Su Mo stood in the brush, motionless.

Su Mo's actions left the commentator Rita looking bewildered: "Is Mo's use of TP a bit too casual? The top lane wave is almost under the tower and he isn't defending it; instead, he wants to camp Gragas. What kind of playstyle is this?"

Rita's beautiful eyes flickered.

As an LPL commentator, she had called hundreds of matches.

But she had never seen a player like Su Mo, whose playstyle had been completely unpredictable from the very first moment of the game.

The crucial part was that he consistently produced results, even completely neutralizing Letme.

He was truly an inscrutable player.

At this moment, Rita suddenly felt a desire to learn more about "Mo."

While Rita was thinking, Clearlove's Rengar finally arrived in the enemy's top-side jungle, standing alongside Su Mo's Mordekaiser.

To avoid enemy vision, he had taken a long detour.

When it came to vision control, Clearlove was quite skilled, having successfully executed several extreme ganks by bypassing enemy vision.

However, because the detour was so long this time, he wasn't certain if he had been spotted.

But he soon received his answer.

Because the silhouette of Gragas appeared.

Having respawned, Gragas saw the Red Buff was up and headed straight for the top-side jungle, intending to clear it first.

At this moment, Mlxg had not yet realized his predicament.

He was still thinking about how to find an opportunity to kill that disgusting Mordekaiser later.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Mlxg spoke up: "Xiaohu, how about we go top and gank Mordekaiser again? His Flash is on a one-minute cooldown right now. If we go together, he definitely won't be able to ru—"

Before Mlxg could finish his sentence, as he walked up to the Red Buff, he suddenly saw two bombs fly out from the nearby brush.

He didn't even have time to react before the two bombs landed on him, stunning him in place.

A second later, Rengar leaped out from the brush...

The moment he saw Rengar, Mlxg understood his fate.

A second later, he turned into a corpse, lying quietly in front of the Red Buff.

Mlxg watched silently, staring at the grey screen and the Rengar that was already two levels ahead of him.

His face gradually turned red.

He didn't understand.

He could accept Rengar appearing here.

But this damn Mordekaiser...?

He had seen Mordekaiser recall with his own eyes, so why was he here?

There was no way there was enough time.

Could it be... a teleport?

After a quick calculation, Mlxg guessed the answer.

"Shit, fuck this!"

He couldn't hold it back and began to vent his fury. "Mordekaiser, can you be any more disgusting? Is this how you use your teleport? I only caught you once, do you seriously have to keep targeting me?! Just you wait, I'm going to kill you later!"

The usually hot-tempered Mlxg was spitting saliva everywhere.

Seeing this, Letme's mouth twitched slightly.

For some reason, even though this was a tragic story, he felt a bit of schadenfreude.

He had been tormented by Mordekaiser in the top lane from the very start, and now finally, someone else was receiving the same treatment...

When he was miserable, he was truly miserable, but if someone else was just as miserable as him, his heart felt balanced.

It was like being late for school; if you're late alone, you're terrified, but if someone else is late with you, then it's fine...

Mordekaiser was truly a "good person"; his ability to annoy people was distributed equally. Now, all five members of RNG had been tormented by him.

That way, when the criticism came, Letme wouldn't be the only one taking the heat.

Hehe...

Letme felt a secret sense of joy.

But very quickly, he couldn't stay happy.

Because, behind him, he saw Mordekaiser and Rengar...

Five seconds later, Letme stared at the grey screen, his expression somewhat numb.

He had been dove and killed once again.
