Those Sweet Times
Chapter 59 Part 4
A few minutes after the match began, Xiang Nuan found Yang Yin"s early game prediction to be entirely accurate.
Their opponent started with a fierce attack. They first came into Xiang Nuan"s jungle and stole their blue buff, giving them an early advantage. Then the jungler worked with Zhuge Liang to slay Mai Shiranui and follow up by taking the first dragon. Every enemy hero was now level 4, pulling ahead of Xiang Nuan"s team in terms of level and economy. With the advantages they had, they pushed for a team fight and killed Marco Polo. At this point, Xiang Nuan"s team was far behind.
The opponent"s champions were strong in the early game to begin with. Now they were even stronger and in a great position.
Gradually, The Times team lost control of all three lanes.
Xiang Nuan"s champion, Laofuzi, was very capable of fighting by himself. She stayed away from the enemy and had brought down two enemy turrets, but by now all 9 of her team"s turrets had fallen.
The Times team now only had their unprotected nexus left and with underdeveloped champions!
Xiang Nuan was taken by surprise and couldn"t figure out how they were in such dire straits. Her teammates were always getting caught, they always lost their team fights, their tank was weak, their mage and archer couldn"t deal any damage to the enemy, and all of their champions seemed to be made out of paper mache……
Xiang Nuan was getting on edge. In one of the team fights, her team"s mage and archer had already died by the time she arrived. Normally, it would"ve been smarter for her to retreat and avoid the battle. But she rushed into the battle from behind the enemy, trying to trap Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang swiftly dodged the attack and she was quickly trapped and killed.
She was growing very upset: What do we do now, how can I play this bad……
In her earphones, she heard a gentle and calm voice: “We can win.”
Xiang Nuan looked up at Lin Chuyan, sitting right across from her.
Lin Chuyan continued to look down at his screen: “Hang in there, we can win.”
Xiang Nuan pulled herself together and checked the situation…...It didn"t feel like they could hang in there.
Yang Yin told them to hang on into the late game to have a winning chance. But it was under the presumption that-- --the opponent would allow her team to drag the game out that long.
When Xiang Nuan checked the status of her team, they had lost control of all three lanes and were far behind in gold. The enemy would have the ability to push their nexus when the next wave of minions came. Would they give them a chance to keep the game going?
Following the last team fight, there was still three enemy champions alive but there were four The Times players waiting at their fountain.
Then the fifth member joined; Zheng Dongkai"s champion also died because he was poorly equipped.
“The minions aren"t here yet” Lin Chuyan"s voice was as calm as ever: “They"ll go for the Dark Slayer.”
It would be the worst situation that could happen to The Times at this point. If the PE Inst.i.tute team could kill Dark Slayer, they could get three waves of Dark Slayer vanguards to sp.a.w.n down each lane. Xiang Nuan felt it would be impossible for her team to stop them then.
They desperately needed more time.
Lin Chuyan was the first one to sp.a.w.n again. He moved his champion, Mai Shiranui, directly towards Dark Slayer. He took a look at his teammates" resp.a.w.n countdown timers. The next one would be Shen Zemu"s Marco Polo.
“Big Polo keep the base safe.” Lin Chuyan said.
“Don"t call me Big Polo.” Shen Zemu objected.
“Little Polo keep the base safe.”
Shen Zemu: “......” Somehow, Big Polo sounded much better.
Xiang Nuan was nervous and upset but broke into laughter. “Lin Chuyan, you"re a nutcase.”
Lin Chuyan chuckled but didn"t say anything.
Xiang Nuan knew what Lin Chuyan had in mind-- --He was going to grab Dark Slayer on his own. If he could do that, he could buy everyone on his team time. If he failed, then Mai Shiranui would probably die and the rest of the team would soon follow!
Mai Shiranui stopped in the lane for a while before he got closer to Dark Slayer. Xiang Nuan could see three enemies fighting against Dark Slayer. Dark Slayer had only a small chunk of health left. Mai Shiranui threw his fan.
A notification appeared: Mai Shiranui has defeated Dark Slayer.
Ahhhh! He stole it!
Xiang Nuan was so excited that she started jumping and felt a rush of adrenaline.
At that very moment, she fell like pulling Lin Chuyan over and giving him a kiss.
