[TS] Obsessed Gamer: The Ultimate Return – Chapter 141

The early timing has passed.

And then it flowed just like always.

[“Let’s see the initiation.”]

“Okay.”

The first Rift Herald 14 minutes in is a crucial object that directly correlates to victory.

No matter how much the enemy is trying to boost themselves or whatever, they couldn’t overcome the absolute power difference when pushing forward head-on.

Just knowing the enemy jungle’s position won’t keep the Rift Herald from smashing directly into your face.

-Finish!

After a huge win in team fights, we ended the game smoothly by taking the 20-minute Baron as well.

[Victory]

Finally, we succeeded in turning the tables on those annoying guys.

“Phew…”

[“Good job.”]

“Ah, Timid Person 190, you did great too.”

-Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw!

-This is duo, lol.

-Wow.

-Good.

-That’s some real education, hahaha.

-Bug cut, bug cut, bug cut, bug cut, bug cut, bug cut, bug cut, bug cut, bug cut, bug cut.

-You can’t do anything even if you’re boosting, right?

-This is it.

-Sister, I’m dying! Sister, I’m dying! Sister, I’m dying! Sister, I’m dying! Sister, I’m dying! Sister, I’m dying! Sister, I’m dying! Sister, I’m dying! Sister, I’m dying!

-Tototong out!

In that situation, I discreetly checked the betting site and saw my odds were pretty different too.

[Outlaw] 【Next Game】

[Win] 1.311 : [Lose] 2.344

+

The winning odds have dropped now.

That means more people are betting on my victory, and conversely, fewer are betting on my defeat.

Of course, the return on investment for those who bet on defeat increased, but they probably lost money in the previous match.

At least I’ve succeeded in giving those scummy boosters a taste of their own medicine once.

‘Of course, I’m not planning to stop here.’

This is just the beginning.

I still have a long way to go to repay what was done to me.

“Go?”

[“Go-go.”]

The conversation with Timid Person 190 wasn’t flowing much, but it was still a huge improvement compared to the start.

[Searching for a game!]

[Accept / Reject]

The game started again.

-Welcome back, Atoex!

-Wow, that was so crazy!

-Is this… a jungle support duo?

-The enemy jungle is gonna be terrible; support just pops up whenever, lol.

-This is duo, of course.

-Team formation. Expectations are high!

32-minute game.

The match was quite a fierce battle, but ultimately ended with a victory in a team fight in front of Baron.

“Wow, did you see that angle there?”

[“That’s pretty standard.”]

“Hahaha.”

It feels a bit awkward though.

-15-minute cut, lol!

-How is the queue time several times longer than the actual game time?

-What’s with the ADC leaving?

-Leaving is crossing the line; report, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!

-So that’s how you get a 15-minute cut.

-To be honest, I would have left too, lol.

Queue time: 2 hours.

Game time: about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

During that time, I managed to record a three-game winning streak with Timid Person 190.

“Good, good.”

[“Nice.”]

Well… even after three games together, the conversation with Timid Person 190 was still ridiculously awkward.

Given that we should be working as a team now, it was unacceptable to remain this shy, so I mustered up some courage.

“…What are your hobbies?”

[“Excuse me?”]

-?

-Suddenly?

-Who are you talking to?

-Information gathering?

-What are you talking about?

-Change the settings, pls.

-What’s this about?

“Oh, wait a sec. Is it okay if I record your voice for the stream, Timid Person?”

[“…Oh, yeah, sure.”]

I changed the voice settings so that Timid Person 190’s voice would broadcast.

I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have his voice out for a brief moment while we queued up.

“What do you usually do?”

[“…Exercise and gaming.”]

“Oh, I see.”

The conversation ended right there again.

-What’s going on? Is it just me feeling suffocated?

-No, lol, have we really been talking like this?

-That explains why the host’s responses were so short, lol!

-I can’t breathe.

-WTF is this?

-How are we supposed to play like this?

-We’ve been duoing with this tension? Outlaw is truly legendary…

-Lold so hard.

-Timid Person 190 really lives up to the name, lol!

-For real, lol.

-Host… I feel suffocated… I think I’m gonna die.

-Ah, lol, why does the awkwardness fall on us, lol!

-Gack.

-Oh, he’s at it again.

-Nah, I’d rather just keep this going…

-For real, this is better.

-I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe…

-Oh, what a joke, the manager’s at it again.

-Thanks for it… is that all you have?

At that moment.

[Searching for a game!]

[Accept / Reject]

The queue is up.

“Oh, we found a game.”

-Suffocate.

-Phew.

-Phew.

-Sexy.

-Suffocate, dammit.

-For real, lol.

-This combo of Outlaw and Timid Person 190 is legendary, for real.

-Sister, I can’t breathe… sister, I can’t breathe… sister, I can’t breathe…

“…I’ll turn off Timid Person’s voice again. I ask for the audience’s understanding.”

-Okay.

-Please do that.

-Agreed.

-Okay, okay, okay, okay.

-Do it fast.

-The booster was the problem, huh? Got it, got it.

-Yeah, can’t allow myself to be boosted.

-I acknowledge that.

The viewers’ chats kept rising.

It seemed like the recent awkward conversation between me and Timid Person 190 had left quite an impression.

‘…Was it that awkward?’

Well… it’ll work out somehow.

Our team’s base was in the lower area.

In other words, we had the first pick.

『‘Chronic asthmatic’ gifted the ‘10 balloons’.』

『“I almost had to go to the ER because I was suffocating.”』

-LOL!

-That nickname, holy crap, lol!

-The concept is hilarious, lol!

-LOL!

As the viewer’s chat kept climbing, the ban/pick phase was soon completed.

[Allies / Enemies]

Top: Aatrox / Rumble

Jungle: Graves / Talon

Mid: Orianna / Sett

ADC: Lucian / Miss Fortune

Support: Maokai / Gragas

The game began.

Taking a quick glance at the enemy’s nicknames, I couldn’t find the names of those who targeted me before.

‘At least we won’t know until the game starts.’

And…….

[“Ah.”]

Was I too careless for a second?

Before the real laning phase began, our top charged into the enemy tower.

-First Blood!

-Our ally was taken down!

Here comes the troll.

-????

-WTF

-Another troll.

-Isn’t that not getting banned?

-Seriously this is just ridiculous.

-How come those idiots are so lazy?

-Report, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!

I had a feeling things had been unusually calm until now.

Along with that, the betting odds on the betting site I had open also noticeably changed.

+

[Outlaw]

[Win] 1.811 : [Lose] 1.844

+

Now everyone knows.

Even someone like me can’t stop a Challenger from openly trolling all by myself.

But there’s something they’re mistaken about.

“Bottom ready?”

[“Yes.”]

Right now, I’m not alone.

“I’m going in right away.”

The targeted boosting, the smurf accounts, the trolls.

On top of that, the betting site.

It’s time to tear these annoying idiots apart.

Beijing, China, GRS Dormitory.

“You found them? Alright, got it.”

Li Zhi-Xuan stood up from the game he was playing after receiving a call from his assistant.

It was the call he’d been waiting for.

“Where are you going?”

In response to Coach Jang Seok-Hwan’s question, Li Zhi-Xuan chuckled lightly and said,

“I’m just going to get some fresh air. I feel too suffocated.”

“…Okay. Just don’t go too far since we have a match tomorrow.”

“Sure.”

Leaving behind Coach Jang’s half-hearted send-off, Li Zhi-Xuan hopped into the prepared car by his assistant.

“Where to?”

“Tianjin, Heping.”

“Really? It’s not that far. Let’s go right away.”

So they were doing that kind of stuff so close to here…

For Li Zhi-Xuan, Legends of League is not just a game or a career; it’s a sacred battleground where individual beliefs collide between people and teams.

But… how dare they degrade such a place just to earn a few pennies?

And above all…

‘Did Outlaw lose?’

Still hard to believe, but Li Zhi-Xuan had already watched the replay of that game.

The trolls were meticulous.

One of them openly disrupted Outlaw’s growth while the other acted as a normal player and waited for the last moment.

Yet, Outlaw shone until the very end.

Perhaps it instilled a flicker of hope that they might even win that game.

But ultimately, Outlaw lost.

What seemed like an unbreakable fortress crumbled due to someone’s selfishness from within.

Li Zhi-Xuan didn’t want to acknowledge that fact.

Those with skill deserve to be treated accordingly.

Those with talent should reap just rewards.

That has been the strength and belief that has kept Li Zhi-Xuan going thus far.

‘I will make them pay.’

With a price fitting for their actions.
