"I say, let's just go. Why cause unnecessary trouble?"

The supervisor went to grab a Fanta while dispersing the onlookers. Ye Xiao looked at Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing and whispered.

Xia Mingyue chuckled softly and said, "I didn't expect Ye Xiao to be so thoughtful. Are you really afraid that the troublemaker will damage things in this internet café, or are you afraid of losing to Jinger in League of Legends?"

Ye Xiao was momentarily taken aback by Xia Mingyue's words, but before he could speak, Fang Jing mocked, "Ye Xiao, if you admit defeat, we can leave right now. After all, our ultimate goal in coming to the internet café today is to compete with you."

If admitting defeat means leaving?

Ye Xiao thought for a moment. Isn't this nonsense? Yes, admitting defeat could prevent damage to the café, but is Ye Xiao the type of person to sacrifice himself for others? Clearly not.

"Alright, I suddenly feel like not leaving. I'll get on the game right now, let's hurry up." Ye Xiao displayed a smug expression, and said to Fang Jing, "One-on-one, oh right, are we doing one match to decide the winner, or best of three?"

"Why so complicated? One match decides the winner. Or do you want me to crush you a few more times?" Fang Jing taunted again.

Ye Xiao said, "You seem confident, but don't forget, if you lose, you have to..."

Before Ye Xiao could finish, Fang Jing immediately interrupted him angrily, "Ye Xiao, talk when you've won."

It was clear Fang Jing didn't want Ye Xiao to bring up those things.

However, Ye Xiao shamelessly said, "You have to make a promise now; don't back out later."

Fang Jing, genuinely annoyed with Ye Xiao's words, thought for a moment and said, "If I don't keep my word, I'll be your servant for life."

Ye Xiao was immediately thrilled and quickly said, "Killing the rich and handsome, right? I'll set up the room and invite you now."

About three seconds later, Fang Jing glared at Ye Xiao, fuming, "Is this your nickname?"

Ye Xiao grinned smugly, "Yes, it is."

Xia Mingyue, also a bit curious, asked Fang Jing, "What nickname?"

Fang Jing didn't say it out loud, instead pointed to the computer screen, "This is his nickname."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyue looked at the screen. But when he saw it, he almost laughed out loud and then looked at Ye Xiao with disdain, "How could you pick such a nickname?"

Ye Xiao, looking at his flashy five-character nickname, boasted, "What's wrong with it? It genuinely showcases my interests."

Xia Mingyue, gritting his teeth, whispered, "But, you shouldn't use 'Love Black Stockings' as a nickname."

"Hehe, I already said it's a hobby!" Ye Xiao was not ashamed but rather proud.

Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing exchanged glances and said nothing more.

Ye Xiao was full of excitement, then completed the custom setup, and Ye Xiao chose Garen while Xia Mingyue stuck with the Frost Archer.

"You're done for." Xia Mingyue declared as soon as he saw Ye Xiao's hero choice.

Ye Xiao immediately replied, "I'm Grass Lun; how could I possibly be done for? What hero did she choose?"

"Ashy!" Xia Mingyue said.

Ashy is the real name of the Frost Archer. Hearing that, Ye Xiao was both amused and dumbfounded. Garen facing the Frost Archer seemed at a disadvantage since the Frost Archer is a master of kiting.

However, once chosen, there's no turning back. In League of Legends, a true expert isn't just proficient with one hero; they must master all heroes. Otherwise, they can't be considered a true expert.

Though Ye Xiao was overly confident, he also knew Fang Jing was a tough opponent. You see, Fang Jing was a strong player at the top challenger rank; she wasn't someone an ordinary player could compare to. Even on a bad day, she could easily crush those so-called Gold and Platinum players.

After all, the title of the top king is simply synonymous with defining the true top experts in League of Legends.

So, Ye Xiao is also very serious at this moment, putting on his headphones, turning up the volume, and fully immersing himself in the music of League of Legends.

Upon entering Summoner's Rift, Ye Xiao quickly bought some starting equipment and went straight to mid-lane, because in a one-on-one match, going anywhere would be almost the same.

Time moved forward second by second, and after 90 seconds, both camps finally dispatched their minions, and this battle finally began.

Fang Jing and Ye Xiao had the same idea, both arriving in the mid-lane. Since they were both in the mid-lane, their showdown was about to erupt.

Ye Xiao's movements were absolutely fancy and unpredictable. Fang Jing clearly wanted to get the first blood as soon as possible, so in just half a minute, she cast 'Volley' twice. The first time hit Ye Xiao, causing his health to drop a bit, and the second time, Ye Xiao successfully dodged it.

The advantage of the Frost Archer lies in ranged attacks, controlling the enemy's movement with frost, and critical hit rate!

Garen's advantage is defense; if not attacked for 10 seconds, he automatically recovers health. Of course, the most important part is that Garen's abilities only have cooldowns and do not consume mana.

So, the hero controlled by Ye Xiao, Garen, quickly had his health restored to full.

The Frost Archer on the opposite side was precisely farming minions, scarcely missing any that could provide her with gold coins, and her movement was also very flashy, making it difficult for Ye Xiao's Garen to get close; the top king is indeed formidable.

However, if this stalemate continues, Garen's development speed will definitely be significantly lower than the Frost Archer's. If the Frost Archer develops quickly, Garen would be doomed, after all, the Frost Archer has the additional advantage of critical hits, which is the most terrifying trait.

What to do?

Ye Xiao swayed back and forth, contemplating, when suddenly, an idea crossed his mind. The grin on his face grew even wider.

Thus, in the game, Garen made a careless mistake, causing the Frost Archer's Volley to hit him. Garen immediately tried to flee, but due to his impaired movement speed, running away was evidently too late. The Frost Archer seized the opportunity and chased after Garen, ignoring the attacks from the allied minions.

Naturally, Garen ran for his life, quickly reaching under the tower, with his health below two-fifths. However, this was the perfect time for Garen to counterattack because another wave of allied minions had already passed the defensive tower. Upon seeing the enemy, the minions naturally attacked immediately, and Garen stopped fleeing and started to attack, instantly using 'Ghostly Dash', and his movement speed surged. Within just a few steps, he caught up with the Frost Archer, wildly slashing with his great sword. The Frost Archer was under the dual attack of minions and Garen, and being a fragile hero, the successive onslaughts caused excruciating pain, rapidly depleting her health.

Fang Jing's game sense was impeccable, quickly using the summoner's skill 'Healing Skill', immediately boosting her health, and then she shot Garen rapidly. But, in fact, Garen also at this moment used his previously-unused decisive assault, seemingly disregarding his health to attack Fang Jing's Frost Archer.

Fang Jing laughed directly, thinking that he was obviously courting death because she could clearly see Ye Xiao's health was below 50 points, which meant another arrow would finish him off. So, she decided to use Volley to send Ye Xiao back to the base stylishly. However, just 0.1 seconds before the Volley was shot, Garen's Qi-Blood suddenly increased dramatically.

Fang Jing was slightly stunned, Healing Skill?

But before Fang Jing could even be surprised, Ye Xiao controlled Garen to launch another decisive strike. At this moment, Fang Jing realized her Frost Archer's Qi-Blood was below 20 points, she was about to hang, so she immediately fled.

Ye Xiao's Garen quickly chased, but unfortunately, Garen wasn't fast enough. However, coincidentally, at that moment, two ranged minions dealt minor damage to the Frost Archer, leading to her downfall.

Ye Xiao's Garen thus achieved the first blood kill, and, of course, earned 400 gold coins.

Although 400 gold coins aren't much, for experts, the first blood is crucial; whoever gets it gains a significant advantage.

At that moment, Xia Mingyue, sitting nearby, was engrossed in watching the battle just now. She didn't expect that the first blood would be taken by Ye Xiao, was this even scientifically possible?

Subsequently, Ye Xiao's Garen changed tactics again, roaming back and forth between the top, mid, and bottom lanes, not giving the Frost Archer any chance to kill him. This way, his development was on par with the Frost Archer's, in a blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

At this moment, the kill-to-death ratio between the two was 4-3!

Ye Xiao had undoubtedly taken a significant advantage with the first blood.

Both individuals, and both heroes, had reached a fever pitch, constantly attacking and retreating. Xia Mingyue, sitting in the middle, watched as both of them had slight sweat on their foreheads, clearly considering each other as formidable opponents. For a while, they couldn't finish each other off.

The Frost Archer successfully killed Garen, but was then shot dead by the defensive tower, resulting in mutual destruction once more.

Occasionally, Xia Mingyue glanced at their computer screens, being an expert herself, she could tell that this match between the two of them might not conclude in less than an hour, maybe even longer because they reached a point where they could not push through each other's defenses, and it was imaginable that as the battle lines retreated, the match would likely turn more into a tug-of-war.

However, at this moment, Xia Mingyue, watching their match, had her gaze drawn towards the bar counter area because she saw Bai Jia who had left earlier, reappear, and with Bai Jia were four others, who either had broad shoulders and a round waist or a rascally demeanor; one glance and they seemed like people mixed up in society.
