Chapter 306: The Life-Saving Ox
Chen Mo glanced over and said, "He should be back soon, right?"
The shot-caller said with a tone of frustration, "Ha, do you think I don't know his habits? He says one minute, but it'll be five before he's done. Bro, just help us out. You don't have to do anything special—just follow the team mid with us like normal."
"Alright." Chen Mo saw that this "mid-lane bro" was insistent, so he sat down.
However, Chen Mo didn't plan to play seriously. After all, boosting itself goes against the principles of competitive gaming. Chen Mo just felt sorry for this guy who had diarrhea and couldn't bear to see his two teammates lose because of it. So he was lending a hand, but he actually intended to play at the level of this guy, just coasting along until he got back from the restroom.
Chen Mo took a look at this guy's champion: Alistar, the Minotaur Chief.
Clearly, this guy was a noob, so he had been assigned to play a tank support.
This gave Chen Mo a bit of a headache.
What was the true skill level of an average player with Alistar? They definitely wouldn't know how to do a Flash-Q combo, and they probably wouldn't be good at roaming, ganking, or forcing teamfights. But they could at least press W to knock an enemy away, right? That's the most basic thing.
But Chen Mo had no idea what this guy's keybindings were, and he didn't want to mess with the settings. So he just went with the flow.
The game had already reached the mid-game. The two sides were fairly even, and the teamfights were intense. Chen Mo's team had a slight disadvantage, but it wasn't too bad.
Chen Mo controlled Alistar and followed the team mid. He didn't dare to initiate fights recklessly, because if he messed up, it would be a disaster. He just stayed in the back, occasionally using his skills to protect his carries.
But the enemy team's Master Yi was very fed. He kept diving into the backline, cutting down Chen Mo's teammates. Chen Mo's Alistar was a bit slow to react, and by the time he tried to headbutt the Master Yi away, the Yi had already killed the enemy carry.
Chen Mo's teammates were furious. "Support, what are you doing? Why didn't you knock him away?"
Chen Mo said apologetically, "Sorry, sorry, I was a bit slow."
The shot-caller said, "It's okay, just be more careful next time."
Chen Mo nodded. He knew he couldn't keep playing like this. He had to step it up a bit.
Soon, another teamfight broke out. The enemy team's Master Yi charged straight at Chen Mo's team's Twisted Fate. Chen Mo's Alistar was right next to the Twisted Fate. Chen Mo quickly pressed W, intending to knock the Master Yi away.
But at the moment Chen Mo pressed W, the Master Yi used his Q ability, Alpha Strike, becoming untargetable. Chen Mo's Alistar's headbutt missed, and the Master Yi landed right next to the Twisted Fate, quickly killing him.
Chen Mo's teammates were furious. "Support, are you trolling?!"
Chen Mo said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I misjudged his speed."
The shot-caller sighed. "Forget it, just try to protect the carries."
Chen Mo felt a bit guilty. He knew he had to play more seriously.
In the next teamfight, Chen Mo's Alistar finally managed to land a good combo. He flashed in, knocked up three enemies, and then headbutted the enemy Master Yi away. His teammates followed up and killed the enemy carries.
But just as they were about to win the teamfight, the enemy Master Yi came back. He had used his ultimate, Highlander, to chase down Chen Mo's team's Miss Fortune. Chen Mo's Alistar was low on health, but he still tried to protect his carry.
Chen Mo pressed W, intending to knock the Master Yi away. But at the moment Chen Mo pressed W, the Master Yi used his Q again, dodging the headbutt. The Master Yi then killed the Miss Fortune.
Chen Mo's teammates were furious. "Support, what the hell are you doing?!"
Chen Mo said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I really tried."
The shot-caller said, "It's okay, just do your best."
In the end, the teamfight resulted in a four-for-four trade. Chen Mo's Alistar barely escaped with low health, and the enemy Master Yi, unable to find him, chose to recall.
"Sorry, I was trying to knock the Master Yi away, but he was too fast," Chen Mo said.
The shot-caller said helplessly, "It's fine, it's fine. You played pretty well."
Although the outcome was a bit awkward, at least Alistar's first combo was impressive. Otherwise, the teamfight would have been a total disaster. So the shot-caller didn't say anything more.
The guy who had gone to the restroom finally came back. Chen Mo handed the computer back to him and walked away, hiding his merit and fame.
But the two guys who had been secretly filming behind him had captured the whole process.
After Chen Mo left, these two guys finally burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, S-God's life-saving play was just too amazing. I have to post this online!"
