Chapter 21
“Kun Shen, hurry up and come over . This Thresh is so annoying, he has been standing in front of the minion wave and trying to hook me . I cannot last hit like this . ”

After getting First Blood, Xiao Rank laughed and agreed, “Alright, I am coming over . Be careful and play safe . Don’t get hooked by Thresh . ”
After First Blood earlier, Baby had a huge increase in trust for Xiao Ran’s Support Evelynn .
After hearing Xiao Ran’s advice, Baby nodded and said, “Okay! I will pay attention!”
Xiao Ran moved towards the lane and said, “Later on, listen to my command and we will fight it out . ”
“Ah?!” Baby blinked with her big eyes and asked, “We are going to fight so soon?”
“That’s right . I lack just one minion to reach level 2 . After on, before we make a move, kill one of the minions first . ”
Xiao Ran might be speaking like this, but he still reserved a backup as well .
When he was rushing towards the bottom lane, he had started to observe the minions on the lane and targetted a minion that was left with a speck of hp .
If Baby wasn’t able to quickly kill a minion, Xiao Ran wouldn’t be able to level up to level 2 . By then, it would be the same as lifting a boulder to smash on his own feet!
As such, Xiao Ran headed straight for that minion that was almost dead .
If Baby made a mistake, he could conveniently kill a minion too .
“I am here, do it!” Xiao Ran spoke with a deep voice .

As soon as Xiao Ran’s voice ended, Baby who was already prepared, immediately started to make her move!
She controlled the slender Jinx nimbly and forcefully… got hooked by Thresh .
“Xiao Ran!!!” Baby yelled out delicately .
“Don’t worry . I am here . ” Xiao Ran’s Evelynn immediately attacked at the dying minion!
It seems like I cannot expect anything out of Baby . I better take the last hit and level up to level 2 myself .
At this same moment, Baby who was hooked by Thresh was desperately right-clicking with her mouse . As soon as the hook effect was gone, she killed the minion by her side .
“Hahaha, Baby is really very noob and is panicking after getting hooked by me . She actually went to attack a minion!” Thresh laughed heartily .
Jhin looked at the darkness by the side and laughed while speaking, “Evelynn should be coming soon, but it doesn’t matter, she is only level 1 . Let’s us kill Baby quickly and if Evelynn dares to come, we will get the Double Kill . If I get fed, not even Misaya can turn the tables!”
Xiao Ran saw that after Baby got hooked, she still followed his instructions to kill a dying minion . He couldn’t help but praise her, “Good job . ”
When Baby heard Xiao Ran’s praise, she felt that her heart was smeared with honey .
It wasn’t because Baby had a favorable impression towards Xiao Ran, it was because she truly loved to play this game, but she wasn’t good at playing it . Chen He always described her with a statement regularly: “So noob that you can scratch your foot . ”
Chen He spoke bluntly during the interviews: “Since I taught her this game, I was rather regretful, because she got addicted but couldn’t play well . This is a team game and if a person didn’t play well, it would mean losing . As we continued to play, I started to avoid her and didn’t dare to play with her anymore . ”
“I remember there were a few nights, she was in some city and she had played all the way until midnight . I had just finished my work and started the game application . Suddenly, Baby private messaged: ‘Are you there?’ I was immediately stunned . ”

“I wanted to play but when she called out to me, I immediately tabbed out to watch a movie…”
…
Baby and Chen He had a rather good relationship and would talk rudely to each other regularly . But after hearing what Chen He said about her, she was still rather heartbroken .
Every time she played, Misaya, dongxiaosa, and others would carry her to win . It might feel good to win and her stats looked good as well, but she didn’t play win with her own capability .
(TL note: dongxiaosa is a Chinese player)
Baby knew that she had won because Misaya and the others were taking care of her .
In fact, she wanted to use her own ability to win and to hear the sincere praises from others .
Hence, unconsciously, she had started to enjoy playing with Xiao Ran .
Xiao Ran was different from others . He might not ridicule or criticize her, but he wouldn’t intentionally curry her favor or brainlessly help her .
If she didn’t play well, he wouldn’t help her and would even steal her kills .
When she heard Xiao Ran’s compliment, she was truly overjoyed .
Just as Baby was getting attacked by Jhin and Thresh, while feeling joy in pain, Xiao Ran’s eyes were filled with rumination .
“Now… it is our turn to counterattack . ”

When Xiao Ran reached level 2, he instantly learned the W ability, ‘Dark Frenzy’ . After activating Dark Frenzy, he rushed at Jhin like a comet .
Dark Frenzy:
Passive – Evelynn’s spell hits on enemy Champions grant her 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 Movement Speed for 3 seconds (effect stacks up to 4 times) .
Active – Evelynn removes all slows affecting her and gains 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70% Movement Speed for 3 seconds . Champion kills and assists refresh Dark Frenzy’s cooldown .
The moment Xiao Ran activated the W ability, Evelynn walked out from the darkness, causing Jhin and Thresh to turn pale with fright!
“Holy shit, level 2 Evelynn, flee!!” Thresh immediately turned back .
After knowing that Baby was his opponent, Thresh opted to dominate the bottom lane and picked Ignite instead of Exhaust .
Therefore, his first reaction upon seeing Evelynn was…
Flee!
Jhin was furious and spoke in a forceful voice, “You are the support . Stay behind and let me escape first!”
“Okay! When necessary, don’t forget to use Heal on me!” Thresh gritted his teeth and used his hook to attack Xiao Ran’s Evelynn .
After activating the W ability, Evelynn’s movement speed was simply too exaggerated . She took just a few steps to overtake them and stood in front of Jhin attacking and moving at the same time!
Previously when Baby was alone at the bottom lane, she had been hugging the turret . Hence, no matter how Thresh and Jhin tried to control the minion wave, most of the minions were still pushed to the turret .
Thus, this minion wave didn’t give Jhin and Thresh any hopes .
They had ashen expressions that were filled with despair .
AD Evelynn… Apart from having a high burst of power, she could continuously deal damage!
Jhin had used both Flash and Heal while desperately trying to escape . How could he even bother about the life and death of Thresh?
He was almost at his turret!
Jhin had used Heal and Flash to forcefully pull a small distance away from Evelynn and returned to his turret .
“Damn it, that was so risky . ” Jhin’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat . “Let’s see how are you going to kill me…”
Before Jhin could finish talking, he heard a ‘Poof’ sound .
There was a fragmented golden radiance that lit up and Evelynn suddenly appeared beside him . She raised her red claws and slashed at him .
“You have been slain . ”
An icy cold announcement echoed in Jhin’s ears .
Xiao Ran had used Flash to teach him a lesson…
