Sorry, Stuck Again [Esports] Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Bian Yan instinctively wanted to turn on his computer, but just as he was logging into his account, he suddenly remembered that he had promised Shi Yi to help him rank up this afternoon. The last time they signed the contract, it was thanks to Shi Yi taking the heat that allowed him to be so free.

According to Shi Yi, he received dozens of calls every day, and some people even went to their house, disrupting their normal life. Bian Yan felt quite guilty about this, so he agreed to Shi Yi's request to rank up without a second thought. Besides, he hadn't planned to stream on Miaotu tonight anyway.

Although Pei Yun Chang's invitation was tempting, he felt bad about ditching Shi Yi, especially since the last incident was his fault. Moreover, with the recent platform-switching drama, Bian Yan was worried that duo-queuing with Pei Yun Chang might give Miaotu an opportunity to exploit.

"I have something to do, let's queue another day," Bian Yan painfully declined.

Pei Yun Chang had his microphone on, so everyone in the live stream could hear Bian Yan's voice, and the chat immediately exploded—

—Why isn't Yan Bao queuing with him? I'm heartbroken.

—I thought we could see a duo stream today, I even had my screen recording ready.

—Nova doesn't want to queue with him, can't you see? Some CP fans need to stop deluding themselves.

—Shut up, you idiots, you don't understand the bond between our Arnova!

—What's the fuss? Are you here to watch Pei Da's stream or Nova's stream?

—Click it, watch if you want, if not, get lost.

A hint of surprise flashed across Pei Yun Chang's face, but he quickly comforted himself and didn't continue to invite.

"Alright."

—Pei Da, I hate that you're so dense!!!

—Alright? Alright?! How is that alright, I won't allow it!

Ignoring the complaints in the chat, Pei Yun Chang quickly started a game. Without Bian Yan, Pei Yun Chang played absentmindedly, only realizing at the last second of hero selection and casually locked in the jungler Night Stalker.

They were playing a Master-level match, where all ten players were named with numbers, so the real names of the players were not visible. However, it was worth noting that the opposing mage was playing Moon Maiden, whose passive slows down enemies, greatly countering Pei Yun Chang's Night Stalker, who relies on passive invisibility and rear assault.

But Pei Yun Chang didn't care. In his mind, no mid-laner in a public match could be that good, except for Bian Yan.

In the game loading screen, Pei Yun Chang's shiny national emblem was very eye-catching, and since the stream was already popular tonight, he was recognized by his teammates as soon as he entered.

—Hahaha! Blind sniped Pei Da! Awesome!

—Pei Da, I'm watching your stream, please carry us.

—Pei Da, can I take a picture with your game character? I want to post it on my social media!

—Everyone, be on alert, we have a pro here, follow Pei Da's lead!

Pei Yun Chang glanced briefly and didn't respond, instead, he opened the control panel to check the Moon Maiden's runes. Surprisingly, they were focused on movement speed.

The game began—

Pei Yun Chang cleared the red zone normally, then activated invisibility to gank mid, only to find the opposing mid-laner had already rotated away. Unfazed, he cleared the mid wave and returned to the red zone to farm, signaling the marksman to play safe. After finishing the red buff, he moved over, hiding in the bush in front of the enemy's first tower on the development lane.

His teammates turned into praise machines.

—The most dangerous place is the safest place, is this the game understanding of a pro player?

—I'm ready to be carried.

—This spot is too sneaky, their marksman would never expect the enemy jungler to be hiding right at their doorstep.

Pei Yun Chang frowned. Although there was no vision of the enemy mage on the map, he believed that a public match mage couldn't be so meticulous, at most just farming somewhere without joining the fight.

When the enemy marksman used Purify, Pei Yun Chang signaled—

Initiate attack!

His team's mage responded, controlling the marksman. Pei Yun Chang intended to follow up with damage, but before he could use his skills, the long-missing Moon Maiden pinned him in the bush!

Pei Yun Chang reacted quickly, escaping over the wall with a sliver of health as soon as the control ended. Although he didn't give the Moon Maiden a kill, he couldn't participate in the team fight.

After driving Pei Yun Chang away, the Moon Maiden used her ultimate, precisely taking down both the allied mage and marksman, securing a double kill!

—What???

—Pei Da's path was already tricky, how did the Moon Maiden find him??

—Daring to openly cheat in front of a pro, this Moon Maiden is waiting for a ban!

—Pei Da, punish him! We're all watching!

As Pei Yun Chang returned to base, he opened the control panel to observe the Moon Maiden. She had movement speed and cooldown reduction, which didn't match the mana-draining nature of Moon Maiden, but was very effective against assassin-type junglers like Night Stalker. A skilled Moon Maiden could make a Night Stalker feel helpless the entire game!

The chat and teammates were all saying she was cheating. But Pei Yun Chang, reflecting on his own actions, thought it might have been the 0.1-second visibility when transitioning between two invisibilities. It's not impossible for the Moon Maiden to catch that moment, but it was too extreme, and she even guessed his location.

If there really was such a genius in a public match, this year's Youth Training Camp would go crazy.

Pei Yun Chang held his ground, preparing to test again. His team of four pushed the top side, while Pei Yun Chang went solo to the bottom lane, hiding in a nearby bush without even clearing the wave.

Soon, the Moon Maiden appeared, heading straight for the bottom wave, just a step away from the Night Stalker!

—Pei Da, this move is too slick, I don't believe he can't kill her this time!

—No vision, no wave clear, if she finds him again, it's witchcraft.

—Pei Da's serious face is so handsome, pants flying!

—A serious man is the most charming, let's see how Pei Da battles the cheater!

In the game, the Moon Maiden advanced steadily, and Pei Yun Chang watched the screen intently. As soon as she moved an inch forward, his skills would rain down on her like a storm.

At the critical moment, the Moon Maiden suddenly started dancing in front of the bush, skillfully dodging!

—How is this not cheating!!!

—What's going on? How did she find him, can someone explain?

—Congratulations to the Moon Maiden player for hitting a wall, earning the permanent ban achievement!

—Congratulations to the Moon Maiden player for hitting a wall, earning the permanent ban achievement!

The Moon Maiden was extremely sharp, pulling back immediately, but Pei Yun Chang was already committed, and the two engaged in a fierce battle, ending in mutual destruction. The Moon Maiden's godlike dodge completely turned the tide!

Seeing this, even Pei Yun Chang couldn't stay calm. He didn't believe there were undiscovered talents like this in public matches, and besides, he knew KP was currently scrimming with the Vanguard Team.

—Even Pei Da can't handle a cheater, let alone regular players, Sacred Domain, do something?

—It's okay, hubby, we'll all report him together.

—Hilarious, don't call someone a cheater just because you lost, our ace jungler Arrow won't be beaten by a public match player, right?

—Shut up, little black fan, you won't reach the top of the ladder as the number one jungler even if you try for three generations.

—Can't you see the hero counter? Even an average Moon Maiden can narrowly win against a highly skilled Night Stalker, let alone a cheater.

—Poor Pei Da, finally streaming and getting his mood ruined by a cheater.

—Poor Pei Da, plus one.

During the respawn time, Pei Yun Chang flexed his fingers, then opened the control panel and decisively swapped his Blood Sword for Frost Blossom. Frost Blossom is the most effective weapon against mage players, with a passive that can make enemies lose all skills within two seconds, extremely targeted against mages who rely on skills for damage.

—Hahaha, Pei Da is getting serious!

—Tsk tsk tsk, Frost Blossom, Pei Da would rather lose economy than let him live.

—Hubby is so handsome, so handsome, so handsome!

—Dear customer, welcome to Pei Da's live stream at 8 PM sharp, for another episode of "Pei Yun Chang vs. the Cheater 2"!

Pei Yun Chang was half-convinced that the opposing Moon Maiden was cheating, so he wanted to test one last time. After the dragon fight ended, the Sacred Domain fell silent, and Pei Yun Chang maneuvered the Night Stalker from his red zone to the right bush in mid lane, where the Moon Maiden appeared again.

This person loved to check bushes too much, so Pei Yun Chang smartened up this time, approaching with invisibility, and the Moon Maiden's body immediately flashed a red alert.

—Pei Da's reaction speed is famously fast among pro players, this time he's initiating with invisibility, if he loses again, it's absurd…

—It's a cheater, so what if he loses?

—Who said he lost, wasn't it a one-for-one?

—Stop chatting, look, look!

To prevent a counter, the Night Stalker didn't walk in a straight line, and just as the distance between them closed, Pei Yun Chang initiated with his second skill!

The next second, the Moon Maiden seemed to have eyes, her second skill, Moon Chant, directly charging at Pei Yun Chang!

—If she's not cheating, I'll eat my hat!

—Pei Da, don't give him a chance, the stream is recorded, we must get him banned today!

Since Pei Yun Chang initiated, the Moon Maiden, despite reacting, was slightly short on damage and died to the Night Stalker, finally giving Pei Yun Chang some satisfaction.

After this round, even Pei Yun Chang believed the opposing Moon Maiden was cheating. Pei Yun Chang relied on his excellent adaptability to counter, but the other four public match teammates weren't so lucky, getting repeatedly killed by the Moon Maiden, their screams echoing throughout the match.

Despite Pei Yun Chang's significant economic advantage in killing the enemy's support and marksman, he couldn't prevent his team from being wiped out, and the enemy pushed up to the high ground, the crystal exploding as expected.

The first game of tonight's stream ended in a loss. Pei Yun Chang exited the game, eagerly checking the Moon Maiden's profile—

The player's game name was Shi Yi Yi, with a historical highest rank of Saint Sovereign Twelve Stars, and the highest hero power was only five thousand, with the Moon Maiden's proficiency still at an intermediate level.

—Are cheaters this brazen now?

—Openly cheating, you're arrogant, but facing Pei Da, your fate is uncertain.

Pei Yun Chang frowned, feeling disgusted by the experience, and no one would be in a good mood after such an encounter. He casually opened the report page—

At this moment, Bian Yan coughed conspicuously, clicked on the results, and the computer on the other side belatedly announced—

"Victory!"

Pei Yun Chang: ?

Bian Yan: (Proud face)

On the screen, Pei Yun Chang calmly closed the report page and sent a friend request to this account. The chat was dumbfounded.

—Wait, he's not reporting, is Pei Da a saint?

—Sacred Domain, are you doing anything? As a mom fan, I'm deeply concerned.

—Pei Da must have his reasons for not reporting, maybe he doesn't think it's cheating?

—Hey, wait, why do I feel like Pei Da's gaze suddenly became so ambiguous?

—Who's sitting across from him?

—It's known that Xiao Bai and Pan Shi are streaming, Juan Juan is diagonally across from Pei Da, so…

—Guys, I have a bold guess…

—Don't say it, let me say it first, could this person be Nova?

"Yeah."

Pei Yun Chang spoke lightly, "He plays like a cheater, not surprising."

Netizens: ???

Face change!
