Liu Fei’s odds of winning the match crashed once more. Hastily, he scrambled to purchase Seeker’s Armguard. After all, beating Little Merman to getting Zhonya’s Hourglass was the only thing he could do.

Meanwhile, after Merman pushed the lane and returned to his base, he bought Sheen. A Lich Bane on Merman was the best fit for him to kill the enemy ADC.

As a melee champion, Merman had high attack damage. The bleed effect from Merman’s W was a miraculous bug-level ability. In retrospect, the set percentage damage that was available only in the second proc of Blind Monk’s Q could be easily reached by Little Merman. Little Merman only had to activate his W and use his basic attacks for a while. Moreover, it was impossible to dodge Merman’s basic attack by sidestepping.

Having been murdered once, Clockwork became desperate. Chen Mu sighed. ‘Desperation is pointless.’

Whenever the minions on Chen Mu’s side were about to die, Chen Mu would move forward to poke Clockwork, making her move away. This obstructed Clockwork from farming CS and destroyed all hopes of her gaining experience.

Once again, Clockwork was being prevented from leveling up. Without gold and being under-leveled, Clockwork’s damage was only enough to scratch an itch for Little Merman.

In the meantime, Blind Monk wanted to gank Little Merman for once. The moment Blind Monk and Merman met face to face, Merman jabbed Blind Monk maniacally with his WQ. Chen Mu only used his E to dodge Blind Monk after releasing his Q. Junglers were usually lower level compared to the other lane champions. Blind Monk had to use a Sightstone to reveal his surroundings. Without sufficient combat strength, Merman could not resort to using his ultimate to force out Blind Monk’s Flash.

Nevertheless, Chen Mu did not intend to chase after Blind Monk. After all, his ultimate goal was to kill Clockwork. Chen Mu’s pressure at mid lane made it difficult for the enemy jungle to gank the side lanes since he was afraid that his mid laner would get slaughtered the moment he left the mid lane.

Nevertheless, Chen Mu’s enemies always received a beating whenever they came over to mid lane. Eventually, the outcome was the same. After waiting for about ten seconds—assuming that Blind Monk had made it back to his Fountain—Chen Mu made his move. His ultimate chomped down on Clockwork who was hugging her turret.

Then, Chen Mu cast his WQ to deal damage and waited for Clockwork to cast her ultimate. Concurrently, Clockwork wanted to wait for Merman to cast his E. Chen Mu was unaffected by this. He waited until Clockwork only had a teeny bit of health left, just enough for him to kill her in a sitting, and then used his E to escape from the vengeful grasp of the turret. ‘I killed you in a sitting. Go back to your Fountain if you don’t want to use your ultimate.’

Liu Fei felt worse after dying. It was no longer safe even under his turret’s protection. How was he supposed to continue the match?

What caught him completely off guard was that Merman did not exit the lane at all throughout the match. Every time Merman’s ultimate came back up, Clockwork was forced to kneel down to his damned fish. ‘Hey! This m*therf*cker is a robot! I don’t eat fish!’

Liu Fei was forcefully fed fishes from the front, side, and back. Wherever Clockwork went, a shark would appear from the shadows and send her back to her Fountain, putting her through the ordeal of having to screw her gears back in again.

Now, each time Liu Fei heard Little Merman call out ‘shark’, he would feel a numbing chill shoot up his head. Additionally, he would begin to tremble involuntarily. By the twenty-five minutes mark, he hit 0-6!

‘Fuuuu, it wasn’t like this when I played Merman just now. Did Clockwork offend you? Clockwork does not want fish; Clockwork just wants CS.’

Liu Fei was on the verge of tears. A few times when Liu Fei thought Merman had gone bot lane to target his teammates, a shark would pop up underneath him. ‘I’m worth nothing now. Why do you still insist on killing me?’

Unable to withstand the torture anymore, Liu Fei started typing in the chat: [Did we get off the wrong foot? Could you please stop targeting me?]

At a glance, Chen Mu felt sorry for him. Liu Fei had been killed so many times that he started typing in the chat. So, Chen Mu replied in the chat: [I’ll stop killing you once you’ve become a Legendary Feeder.]

Liu Fei nearly vomited blood at the thought of having to swallow two more fish. Scoring eight kills consecutively was considered a legendary massacre beyond godlike. Based on the same name, dying eight times continuously meant being a legendary feeder.

Liu Fei asked in the chat: [Why? Have I offended you in any way?]

Liu Fei honestly thought that there was no need for Chen Mu to be so cruel to a person he had no qualms with.

After thinking for a while, Chen Mu felt that Liu Fei at least deserved to know the reason behind his actions: [You used the laughing emote on me.]

‘…’ So that was why. Riot Games created that function and you won’t let others use it?!

Liu Fei was utterly speechless. You could do anything if you were strong. There was no fighting the logic behind it.

With Lich Bane and Zhonya’s Hourglass in his possession, Merman finally delivered Clockwork’s Legendary Feeder punishment. Afterward, Chen Mu finally started roaming. His simple WQE combo was enough to easily kill anyone off. His lead was far too great. He overpowered the enemy bot lane by three whole levels. Even when he faced two enemy champions alone, they were beneath him.

In the final stages of a team fight, Chen Mu fed Clockwork her final fish. Chen Mu kind of regretted doing it since he did not feel like throwing any more fish at Clockwork. It was an unfortunate accident; Chen Mu had gotten used to killing Clockwork.

At Level 3, Merman’s ultimate dealt 450 basic damage. Added with a bonus of 1.0 AP scaling ratio, six hundred damage was added on. Hence, it dealt a total of about a thousand and fifty points of damage. With the help of magic penetration items such as Sorceror’s Shoes and Void Staff, the shark bit off eight hundred and fifty health points from Clockwork health bar. It has to be said that Clockwork only had a maximum of one thousand and six hundred health points.

What followed next was Merman’s exquisite head-hunting. With his Lich Bane and his WQ combo, Chen Mu’s Merman dealt enough damage to one shot the opposing team’s AD. Therefore, the only thing Chen Mu had left to do was to end his enemies.

The pitiful Clockwork wanted to unleash her ultimate before dying but was killed instantly by Merman’s WQ combo. Only a beautiful whirlpool appeared as she cast her ultimate. Evidently, Clockwork’s did not do any damage and its crowd control did not come into play as its channeling time was not completed.

Liu Fei could only cover his face and watch as the match turned increasingly bleak.

Meanwhile, Little Merman bolted agilely during the team fight. With every Q cast, he ended a champion with low health beautifully. He reserved his E to dodge any attacks targeted toward him that had crowd control effects while dealing damage in return.

“Double Kill!”

“Triple Kill!”

“Give him the kills. Let him Penta,” said Shi Geng.

Everyone on Chen Mu’s team reached a tacit understanding. After all, scoring a Penta Kill was every Summoner’s dream. Some players were willing to type “Daddy” in the chat just for a Penta Kill. Therefore, whenever an opportunity arose, everyone would let the person score a Penta Kill if they could.

With his teammates’ cooperation and tacitness, Chen Mu’s Little Merman started to kill more fluidly.

“Quadra Kill!”

“Penta Kill!”

“Ace!”

The female announcer’s voice rang throughout the game continuously. Chen Mu had obtained his first Penta Kill in the tournament!

“So OP. Brother Mu, you’re flying above us now.” Zhuo Xiaobai sighed. Chen Mu was not just goddamn good in his studies, he was good in League too. Now that there were more and more gamer girls around, picking up a girl would be as easy as drinking water for Chen Mu.

“I’m so jealous… So angry. I can accept the fact that I can’t beat him in academics. However, he has now surpassed me in gaming too. I feel like I’m just wasting space and wasting the fresh air I breathe,” Lu Ren said.

“Don’t be sad. At least we’re both richer than him. Girls love you when you’re rich. That’s the undeniable truth!” Zhuo Xiaobai consoled him.

It was at that moment that a girl with short, red hair walked over with a blushing face. She said to Zhuo Xiaobai, “He… Hello.”

Zhuo Xiaobai’s eyes were fixated on her. ‘This one suits my taste.’ The girl had red lips and pristine teeth; big eyes and long lashes. She was beauty itself. ‘Is she here for my number? Finally! All of my branded stuff is working their magic!’

“Hello, there. I’m Zhuo Xiaobai. How could I help you?” Zhuo Xiaobai gave her a smile that he thought was the most gentlemanly he could manage. It looked neither humble nor arrogant. He heard that men should never show a lewd expression or they would suffer horrible deaths.

“Hello, there. Do you guys know the midlaner? I’m wondering if I could have his Penguin account ID. Could… Could I have it?” The short-haired girl rubbed her hands together. She looked like she mustered up a lot of courage for this request.

“…” Zhuo Xiaobai turned into a rock. “Lu Ren, do you have a knife. Let me kill myself.”

“Don’t act rashly. Even if Chen Mu doesn’t play games, there have always been a lot of girls who like him. So, why do you want to do that to yourself?” replied Lu Ren.

Zhuo Xiaobai glanced at Lu Ren with eyes full of sorrow. ‘Does this child know how to console others? Why does hearing that makes me sadder now?’

[Mission accomplished. Received nine hundred points. Current accumulative points: two thousand four hundred points.]

Chen Mu wanted nothing more than getting a thousand points for once but it seemed like he still granted Liu Fei some mercy. He should have instantly killed Liu Fei two more times.
