Luocheng walked up onto the stage and continued until he was right beside Xiao Bei. Xiao Bei stood up from his seat, his whole body frozen in place.

He literally could not think of anything right now, he was just a frightened teenager. He didn’t have anything to be proud of other than his own confidence and skills in video games.

However, as this match had ended up horribly because of him, he felt as though he had just lost everything.

“Does Team Skycrown want to switch out their players?” Qi Qiao pondered as she looked at Luocheng who had just walked into the arena.

Normally, there wasn’t a substitute player for any professional gaming teams. There would only be five-player teams, as their teamwork could be improved much more. If one person was substituted, the sense of teamwork would be completely thrown off.

Of course, that didn’t mean that you couldn’t change your players. In Xiao Bei’s case, if he was not substituted, they would lose the third game for sure.

“He has already sat down, I guess that he will be replacing the ADC. In the past two games, Team Skycrown’s ADC has been underperforming, maybe if they swap him out with another person, there will be a different outcome.” Qi Qiao commented.

Tinghua stared at Luocheng as this was a good chance to see Luocheng’s actual skill. Deep down, he really wanted to know if Luocheng, who hadn’t played professionally in such a long time, still has his old skills.

“Alright, here comes Team Skycrown’s sub player’s information.” Qi Qiao continued, “Team Skycrown’s substitute player, Yu Luocheng. He has competed in the Campus Championship and helped Shanghai University get into the top four. Huh, other than this, there aren’t any more records on him.”

“It looks like this substitute player is Team Skycrown’s coach and analyst, this is absolutely shocking! Blood Eagle, what comment do you have for the coach going onstage himself to play?”

Tinghua couldn’t hold back his smirk and replied in a mysterious voice, “The amount of competitions that he has been in is not a small amount.”

Tinghua’s small comment was immediately followed by Qi Qiao’s question.

“Since he is both a coach and an analyst, then it must not matter if his skill isn’t on par. His addition to the team will definitely increase the cooperation between the team and the tactics will obviously be even more strategic. These two factors might be the key to victory.”

While Qi Qiao and Tinghua were commentating, a large number of the people present were gossiping about what was happening. The majority of the students supporting Fudan University in the crowd had watched the Campus Championship before, and when they saw Luocheng going up on stage, they suddenly realized, wasn’t that Shanghai University’s sharpest Support?

In the Campus Championship, Shanghai University and Fudan University had been up against each other in the last few rounds. Even when it seemed as though Fudan University was winning, the tides could have turned at any moment. If there was even a small mishap leading to an Ace, Shanghai University would have been able to make a comeback easily.

The one who had been maintaining the pressure on Fudan University’s team was none other than the strategic and skilled Support from Shanghai University!

The question was, could a Campus Championship player really shine in the spotlight in a professional match?

If they won this game, the team would make a good name for themselves, and not only that, they would also become one of the most recognized teams in the whole country, the players would also be well-known across the country!

At Fudan University’s side, both the team captain, Lin Siyong and Wang Lin were flabbergasted.

“How come it’s him?” The team captain, Siyong looked at Luocheng who was across him.

“This guy will be such a headache.” Wang Lin scratched his head.

“If he takes up the ADC role…”

Siyong furrowed his brow.

It was very clear to him that other than the bottom lane, Team Skycrown had the advantage against Fudan University in every other aspect. If they changed their ADC, especially to a person who had given Siyong a hard time before, Siyong was not sure if he could perform as well as he had before.

Honestly speaking, this Support from Shanghai University had shaken up Siyong thoroughly.

“With that said, how do you think the next match will go, Blood Eagle? Will this young coach help them make a comeback?” Qi Qiao questioned.

“Is it possible?” Tinghua shook his head, feeling that Qi Qiao was too conservative, and he said with a smile.

“With him, Fudan University has absolutely no chance of winning at all.”

Qi Qiao was taken aback and it took her a long time to reply. “Did I hear that correctly? You said that if this person plays, Fudan University will lose all three matches in a row?”

The commentator and the guest’s words could be heard by everyone. Tinghua’s firm tone made the audience become restless, and this in turn made Fudan University’s team members all nervous.

Fudan University’s members admitted that Luocheng really had the skills. They had played against him before, but it wasn’t as bad as how Tinghua had just declared. They wouldn’t lose all three games in a row, right?

Even if Team Skycrown were to switch one member, achieving a groundbreaking change was nearly impossible!

While all of this was going on, Aijing turned on her computer with a big smile on her face backstage.

“Miss Aijing, the great player that you were talking about… Is it him?” Xiao Wang stood beside her, his gaze fixed on Luocheng.

“Yes, he is not a professional player, his personal score is seven points, team strength should be on par with a first-rate team, we just don’t know how good he is at strategizing and his strength fluctuation.” Aijing replied.

“A person who is not a professional player could actually get seven points, he is really extraordinary, isn’t he? If he went through formal training, he might even reach greater heights.” Xiao Wang rubbed his jaw.

“Yeah.” Aijing just gave him a nod.

…

In the arena, Luocheng was already seated on Xiao Bei’s seat. Xiao Bei could only stand beside him, not knowing what to do.

Right then, Luocheng started opening the interface, tampering with the controls and settings as well as the sensitivity. Every professional player had his own preferred sensitivity, and adjusting it right before playing was a good habit.

“Luo…Luocheng, should I get off the stage?” Xiao Bei asked in a weak voice.

“Now why would you do that?” Luocheng asked him.

Xiao Bei looked at Luocheng, confused. He did not know if Luocheng was scolding him or being sarcastic as he had just thrown the match not once, but twice! Moreover, Xiao Bei had no willpower to continue playing anymore.

Luocheng tampered with the sensitivity with such speed that it seemed as if he had done this a thousand times before.

After he finished the adjustments, he pulled out a blank note and started to type the text, QWERDFQWERDF…

QWERDF…

These six letters appeared on the note repeatedly, and Xiao Bei could only see the texts moving so fast that it looked as though it was being scanned by a printer.

Flawless inputs without even a single error and with that amazing typing speed, he shocked the whole crowd, and after a short while, the note was already filled with “QWERDF”.

Next, he started to use the mouse as well while pressing the A key!

He began to input “A”QWERDF, followed by Q”A” WERDF, and then, QW”A”ERDF, QWE”A”RDF…

Luocheng’s hands were flying across the keyboard like the wind, slotting the “A” key without fail into the correct position, shocking Xiao Bei!

The rhythm was so quick that Xiao Bei thought it was being printed out by a printer. In the first “QWERDF” row a few seconds later, all the “A”‘s had been placed into the right spots. After that was done, the second row was completed with the same speed and unbelievable precision.

“Absolutely unbelievable!”

Qi Qiao’s shock was shared by the audience as the crowd went wild!

Luocheng, who was busy and focused on making adjustments, didn’t realize that his screen was displayed on the big screen. Not only that, his inhuman speed of typing and precision had been seen by everyone present!

“It can’t be… Is this how a professional player adjusts his sensitivity? That speed is crazy!”

Qi Qiao had only wanted to show everyone how a professional player adjusts his settings by showing Luocheng’s screen, she had had no idea that this would be such a sight to behold.

Although it seemed easy to type it a thousand times, everyone knew clearly that when it was their turn to input, there was absolutely no way that they would be able to do it as efficiently as that, not to mention placing the A key in all the right spots correctly!

Click!

Finally, Luocheng closed the text note.

Xiao Bei, who had been standing behind him this whole time was dumbfounded. With the same amount of people watching, the same amount of pressure from the LPL, Luocheng had managed to do such a thing in a steady and calm way that Xiao Bei knew he himself could never achieve.

“Team Skycrown, are you sure that you want to switch teammates?” At this point, the referee walked up, and Xiao Bei knew that it was time for him to leave the stage.

He thought that he could slowly get closer to Luocheng’s level, but after seeing the skills that Luocheng had showcased, he felt as though he could never surpass him in his whole life.

Luocheng looked at the referee and said, “Referee, this mouse and keyboard is malfunctioning, can you please change it?”

“Is there a problem? Let me see.” The referee was also a technician and he walked up to the computer, opened the same text note, and input some stuff randomly.

This technician’s input skills were obviously much worse compared to Luocheng.
