Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 656: Chapter 654: Bathed in Fire [2nd Update]

The audience went insane, they couldn’t take it anymore!

Damn it!

”Lu Xiaobu what the hell are you doing?!”

”Four versus six?!”

”Fuck me! Did I buy a ticket just to watch this elementary school level competition?!”

”What the hell is this?!”

”Refund! Refund!”

”This is too much!”

”That’s not how you play the game!”

”Trash Demon King Team! Just stop playing already! With this level of skill, you’re just going to embarrass us in the global competition!”

”...”

Regardless of the audience going mad, the entire Demon King Team was also losing it!

They were staring blankly at their computer screens, fists clenched. They really wanted to hit someone, but they didn’t know who!

After all, the one messing up was Lu Xiaobu, they didn’t dare to hit him, nor could they!

All they could do was grit their teeth and keep playing, they couldn’t give up on the match no matter what.

However, after that phase, Lu Xiaobu suddenly started playing seriously.

Although there were no high-end maneuvers, he was at least playing steadily.

Seeing this, the audience let out a sigh of relief.

”Finally! Young Master is actually playing seriously!”

”That’s great!”

”Just play seriously, that’s all we ask!”

”...”

However, just because Lu Xiaobu was playing seriously didn’t mean he would let others have resources!

Li Wenliang tried several times to get a blue buff, only to have Lu Xiaobu rush over with tier five boots and Flash, snatching it away with Smite!

Li Wenliang was so mad he wanted to smash his keyboard!

Young Master Bu, was that really necessary?

I’m the mid-laner, the mid-laner!

Is it that wrong for me to take a blue buff?!

Plus, I was fighting for it myself!

What’s with your flamboyant use of Flash?!

What are you trying to imply? That I’m the opposing mid-laner?!

Just like that, ’under the leadership’ of Lu Xiaobu, the Demon King Team spectacularly lost the match!

The audience completely blew up!

”What kind of shitty match is this?!”

”Is this the level of the Demon King Team?”

”Damn, what’s it got to do with the Demon King Team? It’s clearly Lu Xiaobu who dragged them down!”

”What’s wrong with Lu Xiaobu being a drag? They’re the national champions! If they can’t even carry one drag, how are they supposed to compete in the global competition?!”

”Yes, Lu Xiaobu is a drag, can’t deny that! But did the Demon King Team really play that well?!”

”Crappy match! Refund!”

”Refund! Refund!”

”You guys might as well go home and take care of your kids! Stop playing these matches! You lose every time and it’s just embarrassing!”

”Go the hell back home!”

”...”

Lu Xiaobu sat in his chair, listening to all of this calmly, he was already used to it!

The world is like this, the higher you fly, the harder you fall!

The greater the expectations the audience has for you, the greater and perhaps double the resentment they will feel when you lose!

He glanced at Li Wenliang and the other teammates.

Thinking to himself: Since you all fear losing, let’s have you lose early on, let you experience this feeling.

This is what he called collapse therapy!

Of course, this kind of therapy came with a huge risk. If they could get past it, all would be well.

But if they couldn’t withstand it, then it would truly be a collapse!

Just like now, the members of the Demon King Team were already on the verge of breaking down!

Li Wenliang, listening to the relentless accusations from the audience, clenched his fists so tightly, his head pressed against the table, motionless.

Each and every one of these reprimanding voices was like a sharp sword piercing his heart!

His teeth were nearly shattered!

They lost! They actually lost!

Lost in front of the national audience!

Of course, he could easily blame it on Lu Xiaobu and comfortably claim it has nothing to do with himself!

But he couldn’t do that!

Lu Xiaobu wasn’t someone he could point fingers at. Lu Xiaobu is a god in the e-sports circle, their sky!

To this day, their club still displays these seven big characters — A Championship Tribute to Lu Xiaobu!

So, he can only look for faults within himself!

The other team members sat in their chairs, staring at the failed screen, dumbfounded!

They came with boundless confidence, never once thinking from start to finish that they would lose!

After all, Lu Xiaobu’s maneuvers never gave them the thought they could lose!

But still, they lost!

”Sister Lan, let’s go.”

Lu Xiaobu stood up and left the match venue.

”Ah!”

Liang Lan sighed as she looked at her teammates, who were nearly breaking down.

She already knew what Young Master was thinking.

So, I hope you guys can pull through!

This is just the first wave!

...

At this moment, the internet went completely berserk!

”What is this?!”

”How could they lose?!”

”Demon King Team, you are national champions! We were all counting on you to win the global championship! And this is what you give us?!”

”Ha! I’m thoroughly disappointed! What pathetic global competition. Don’t even bother playing! It would be even more embarrassing!”

”Unbelievable! You make such a grand scene out of the match, and then lose so spectacularly!”

”You guys are amazing!”

”Now great, you’ve humiliated us in front of the whole world!”

”...”

The match videos quickly spread overseas.

Especially in Japan and Korea, they made a huge deal out of it!

Korea.

”Ha ha ha! This is the so-called Demon King Team?!”

”This level of play?!”

”Especially their jungler, is that Bronze? Seriously, it’s all god-tier moves!”

”We are totally winning! Our Korean teams are definitely going to win!”

”Awesome! To crush Heavenly Dynasty on their own soil, using a game developed by Heavenly Dynasty! What a feeling! Just thinking about it excites me!”

”Lu Xiaobu being arrogant?! Wait until we win! He won’t be arrogant anymore! One man suppresses an entire country?! Time for revenge!”

”We must slap them hard in the face!”

”...”

Japan!

”Tsk tsk, I thought Heavenly Dynasty was strong! Turns out it’s just this crappy!”

”Yeah! I could beat them if I went up there!”

”Such a trash team is their national champion?! That tells you exactly how awful their overall level is!”

”This time, the world championship is ours for the taking!”

”There’s nothing more satisfying than this!”

”Divine Wind Team! Go for it! Give the Demon King Team a good beating! Take down Lu Xiaobu!”

”That’s right! Show them, their people from Heavenly Dynasty will always be the Sick Man of East Asia!”

”Ha ha ha! Long live the Yamato Clan!”

”...”

Seeing these messages, the netizens of Heavenly Dynasty were so angry they could spit blood!

In the end, they directed all their fury towards the Demon King Team!

The official Weibo of the Demon King Team was overrun!

Li Wenliang’s Weibo was overrun!

Even the Weibo accounts of every team member were overrun!

In this moment, they became public enemies, the sinners in everyone’s eyes!

Of course, Lu Xiaobu’s Weibo was also attacked, but Lu Xiaobu didn’t care!

Lu Xiaobu, sitting at home, browsed through these comments and muttered to himself: ”Reborn from the ashes! If you weather this, you’re champions; if you can’t, then you’ll only remain trash in their mouths! I can’t help you; it’s up to you now!”
