Chapter 311: No more dishes, let's watch Dehua's live stream for a while.
Although Dehua's national standard is very cool, it is well known that there are two types of people who play Lu Bu in the national server.
One is Lu Bu in the Chinese server, and the other is Lu Dehua.
If you encounter the latter, you should be secretly happy. If you help me, I won't be a loser; if you don't help me, I'll definitely explode. They're practically the real-life version of a hopeless case.
Ye Lan held the lid of the lunchbox with her thumb so she could enjoy her meal whenever she wanted.
Both sides quickly finalized their lineups.
Red square:
Confrontation Lane: Dehua Lu Bu
Jungler: Kai
Mid Lane: Xi Shi
Development Road: Huang Zhong
Support: Lu Ban Master
Blue Square:
Confrontation Lane: Cheng Yaojin
Jungler: Dian Wei
Mid lane: Wang Zhaojun
Development Path: Marco Polo
Support: Yao
The moment the lineups for both sides were finalized, Dehua couldn't suppress a smile.
"Brothers, the enemy team actually picked Cheng Yaojin, a tank hero, to lane against me. I'll beat the crap out of him."
Dehua still adheres to the principle of making grand pronouncements before the game even begins.
However, Ye Lan did not think highly of Dehua.
It's said that Lu Bu counters tanks, but that only applies to the mid-to-late game. In the early game, Lu Bu can only barely manage a 50/50 matchup against tanks like Bai Qi and Zhu Bajie.
Of course, if you're a well-rounded warrior with a pure tank build and runes, then disregard what I just said.
However, how many people actually play Lu Bu with a pure tank rune setup?
Anyway, Dehua isn't.
In his words, one must have dreams, even if you get instantly killed upon entering the game, you can never build a tanky character!
If this is already difficult against clumsy tanks like Bai Qi and Zhu Bajie, then it's even more challenging against heroes like Cheng Yaojin who are more agile in the early game.
On the loading screen, Ye Lan opened her lunchbox, already ready to eat.
"I think you can put the lid on the lunchbox. I might be bad at other heroes, but Lu Bu is my specialty. Don't you trust my Lu Bu?"
Dehua's face beamed with a confident smile.
Ye Lan paused for a moment, "I don't think it has much to do with the heroes, but rather with the players themselves."
The smile on Dehua's face vanished instantly, but according to the law of conservation of energy, the smile does not disappear, it only shifts.
The viewers in the live stream were amused by Ye Lan and burst into laughter.
Dehua's face darkened. "Ye Lan, I strongly suspect that you were sent by them to slander me."
"Brother Hua, only a great and imposing figure has the right to be slandered. You are just a pile of ruins, what are you afraid of?"
"Damn, what you said makes so much sense, I can't even refute it."
"There's nothing I can do, what I'm saying is the truth."
After a long verbal battle, Dehua was furious and prepared to vent his anger on Cheng Yaojin.
The system seemed to sense Dehua's anger.
The game started playing shortly after the loading screen appeared.
"Welcome to Honor of Kings."
"The enemy will arrive on the battlefield in five seconds."
"Army attack!"
Dehua immediately bought an iron sword and then headed aggressively towards the confrontation lane.
The minion waves quickly converged, and Dehua immediately controlled Lu Bu to contest the lane. On the way to contest the lane, he discovered Cheng Yaojin fighting the river crab.
He immediately frowned at the camera and started complaining.
"I hate playing against heroes with Smite. They just keep farming with you and then invade your jungle. It's so annoying."
Ye Lan, however, felt that this was a fairly normal way of playing.
After all, bringing a side laner with Smite means invading, and invading carries risks. Players aren't stupid; they won't do something with risks but no rewards.
As Marco Polo famously said: High risk, high reward.
While invading can certainly plunder neutral resources like jungle monsters, a slight misstep can lead to death under the enemy's encirclement.
With such high risks, there must naturally be corresponding returns.
If you find a particular tactic disgusting, it's definitely because you haven't specifically studied that tactic.
Once you've thoroughly figured out this strategy, you'll find it's nothing special.
As the minion waves converged, Dehua's Lu Bu slashed across three minions, then brandished his halberd and frantically pushed the lane.
As soon as he made two slashes, Cheng Yaojin finished clearing out the river crabs and walked towards him.
Without any intention of taking over the lane, Cheng Yaojin swung his double axes and slashed at Lü Bu.
Dehua remained silent, only offering rebuttals.
Lu Bu and Cheng Yaojin quickly became entangled in a fierce battle, each taking a blow from Lu Bu's axe and a halberd.
With a smile on his lips, Dehua calmly explained to the viewers in the live stream.
"Brothers, this Cheng Yaojin has no brains at all. He doesn't even bother with the strings and just tries to fight me head-on. He's incredibly stupid."
One of the three key details for the top lane is to fight both the enemy and minions together.
That's exactly what Dehua did at that moment; every time Lu Bu wielded his halberd, it struck Cheng Yaojin and the soldiers.
This not only depletes Cheng Yaojin's health but also the minions' health, making it easier for you to reach level two faster.
The two key nodes on the opposing lane are level two and level four.
Leveling up not only increases a hero's base attribute values, but also their skills and skill values.
Just when Dehua thought he would easily defeat Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Yaojin suddenly leveled up to level two.
This scene immediately terrified Dehua.
"Holy crap, how did he reach level two as a melee soldier?"
Ye Lan held the lunchbox and shoveled a big mouthful of rice into her mouth.
"Hey chicken, are you stupid? The enemy Cheng Yaojin ate the river crab before coming over, he doesn't need to fight you for lane, he can just eat a melee minion to reach level two."
Dehua suddenly realized, and pounded his head in frustration, "Damn it, how could I have forgotten about that?"
"But it's okay, I'm a tank killer. No matter how thick the health bar is, I can take it down in one hit. I don't believe I can't win."
Lu Bu swung his halberd again, intending to use the true damage from the enchantment to fight Cheng Yaojin head-on.
"Brothers, this Cheng Yaojin will definitely use his first skill to dodge my first skill from behind, so we need to use Flash in advance to predict his movement."
With a clear mind, Dehua used a flash to adjust his position in the last second before he was about to swing his halberd.
To everyone's surprise, Cheng Yaojin didn't use his first skill.
This caused Dehua's flash attack to miss its target!
Just then, Cheng Yaojin used his first skill [Explosive Double Axes] to jump up. Lu Bu raised his hand to try and absorb a shield, but the minion wave had already been cleared by him.
It only hit one unit, and the shield value was pitifully low.
Finally, Cheng Yaojin spun his double axes and used his second skill, [Fierce Whirlwind], to finish off the low-health Lu Bu.
"Holy crap, this guy is a complete idiot! How could my Flash attack miss?"
Dehua felt that his actions and strategy were top-notch, but the opponent was too weak and didn't have any expert skills.
Ye Lan spun three large mouthfuls of rice and stammered, "When Cheng Yaojingang leveled up to level two, he used his first skill."
"Cheng Yaojin's first skill has a 15-second cooldown, and a basic attack can reduce the cooldown by one second. He attacked you seven times just now, so it's not that he didn't use his first skill to get behind you, but that his first skill wasn't ready immediately."
"After you flashed away, he attacked a minion once before continuing the chase."
Dehua stood there stunned, staring at Ye Lan. "You mean, if I had been even a second slower, this 'flash' would have hit me?"
