You were supposed to have a fake marriage with the diva, so how did you become her father?

Chapter 321 The Opening Tactics of the Human-Machine Match

Lu Ran swore to the heavens that his reaction just now was truly subconscious and that he did not intentionally take advantage of Shen Yuege.

It's all that damned rat from my past life's life that made Lu Ran impure.

However, judging from Shen Yuege's expression, she didn't seem to have grasped Lu Ran's meaning.

She seemed to still be pondering what Lu Ran meant by saying "love" earlier.

Lu Ran quickly interrupted the other person's thoughts, and after confirming, started loading the game.

Shen Yuege nodded. Although she didn't quite understand, she didn't ask any more questions. She figured she should just follow Lu Ran.

The three random players they were matched with also selected their heroes one after another.

One picked Garen, one picked Ryze, and one picked Master Yi.

These heroes are all very suitable for beginners, and two of them are permanently free.

The heroes he chose seemed haphazard, but Lu Ran thought it was normal.

Since it's everyone's first time playing, nobody knows what team compositions are important, so just pick what you like.

On the loading screen, Lu Ran glanced at the opposing team's lineup—five computer opponents with random heroes, including warriors, mages, marksmen, and tanks, which looked much more organized than his own team.

The game has finished loading, and ten people appear simultaneously in the Summoner's Rift fountain.

Shen Yuege stared at the screen, watching her blue-skinned hero standing on a circular platform, surrounded by several glowing buildings.

"Is this what it's like in the game?" she asked.

"Yes," Lu Ran said. "You're in the fountain now, it's a safe zone, the enemy can't hit you. Do you see that shop? Buy some equipment first."

Shen Yuege searched for a long time before finally finding the shop icon. After clicking on it, she was stunned by the screen full of equipment.

"What should I buy?"

"Buy the salary set." Lu Ran opened the shop, then suddenly realized there were no salary sets available, so he changed his mind, "Never mind, just buy a healing orb and two bottles of red potion. Keep it simple."

Shen Yuege typed "healing orb" into the search bar, bought it after finding it, and also bought two bottles of red potion. Then she followed Lu Ran's instructions and went down the road.

Lu Ran, controlling Ashe, led Shen Yuege's Soraka, and walked along the minion wave towards the bottom lane.

When he got close to the first tower, he didn't go online immediately. Instead, he turned a corner and went into the bushes near the enemy's turret in the bottom lane.

"Follow me into this bush," Lu Ran said.

Shen Yuege controlled Soraka and followed her in, her movements unsteady.

Her movement was still quite clumsy, and the character moved like a drunkard, sometimes bumping into walls and sometimes getting stuck, but at least she managed to get into the bushes.

"Why are we hiding here?" Shen Yuege asked.

"Let's wait for them to come out," Lu Ran said. "Look at the minimap, the enemy team hasn't logged in yet. Once they come out, I'll go out and lure them under the tower, then we'll fight them from behind the tower."

"Why rely on the turrets to attack?"

"Towers hit hard," Lu Ran said. "You'll die after a few hits from the tower, and the enemy will die too. So let's lure the enemy under the tower and let the tower do the damage for us."

Shen Yuege nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

This strategy was a must-have skill for players who mainly played against AI in their previous lives, but here, Lu Ran's approach was groundbreaking and innovative.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the two AI opponents appeared in my field of vision.

Olaf, a warrior wielding an axe, and Caitlyn, a marksman in uniform, swaggered along the minion wave.

Lu Ran controlled Ashe to walk out of the bushes, deliberately showing her face to the two opponents, then used a basic attack to attack, and then turned and ran away.

The two AI opponents caught up as expected.

Lu Ran didn't run straight, but instead took a big detour, leading the two bots around the jungle for a while before finally circling around from the entrance of his own jungle into the turret's attack range.

"Yuege, attack them. Use your Q skill and basic attacks, just attack them however you want, don't be afraid."

Upon hearing the instruction, Shen Yuege frantically pressed the keyboard.

She hadn't fully memorized the skill hotkeys yet, and it took her several tries to find which key was for Q.

Soraka's Q skill descended from the sky, a beam of starlight striking the enemy warrior on the head, taking away a small chunk of his health.

The defensive towers began their attack.

A red beam of light shot down from the top of the tower, hitting Olaf on the other side and instantly taking away nearly a third of his health.

Lu Ran's Ashe is also dealing damage.

He moved and shot arrows at the same time, each arrow hitting Olaf squarely.

Olaf's health was dropping rapidly. He wanted to run, but Lu Ran blocked his escape route in advance.

Shen Yuege added another Q, and Olaf fell to the ground.

First Blood.

The voice of the first blood came through the earpiece, and Shen Yuege was stunned for a moment: "I killed him?"

"Yes, you did it." Lu Ran laughed. "Your Q landed the final blow, so the kill is yours."

Before Shen Yuege could even feel happy, Caitlin on the opposite side rushed under the tower.

Lu Ran didn't rush to attack her. Instead, he took a step back, letting the turret hit him twice before turning around to attack.

Caitlyn's health dropped even faster; the AI's intelligence meant that after being attacked, it would only run home.

Before he even left the turret's range, Lu Ran took his life with a single W skill.

So, less than two minutes into the game, the bottom lane had already secured two kills.

"Did we win?" Shen Yuege asked, somewhat puzzled, as she looked at the two opposing heroes lying dead under her own tower.

"Not yet. The condition for victory is to destroy the opponent's main crystal." Lu Ran explained to Shen Yuege while finishing off the enemy, "But we have a big advantage right now."

"Both are dead," Lu Ran said. "That was a good play."

The two returned to town, bought equipment, and went back online.

Shen Yuege's Soraka positioning was still a bit shaky, but she gradually found her rhythm.

She found that she didn't need to do much; she just stood behind Lu Ran's Ashe, occasionally using her Q skill to hit people, and pressing W to heal Lu Ran when he lost health.

"Lu Ran, is there a limit to the number of times I can heal?" Shen Yuege asked.

"The W skill will consume your own health," Lu Ran said. "Look at your health bar. Every time you heal, you also lose health. So you can't heal indefinitely; you have to watch your health level."

Shen Yuege glanced down at her health bar and saw that it was indeed a little less than before.

"Then how do I heal myself?"

"You have a healing orb, which will slowly restore your health automatically. If that doesn't work, go back to town and heal to full health."

Shen Yuege nodded and began to pay more attention to her health.

When the second wave of minions arrived, the two enemy bots respawned and returned to their lanes.

This time, instead of charging in arrogantly as before, they dutifully farmed minions behind the minion wave.

The AI's last-hitting skill is just terrible; it's completely random.

Lu Ran didn't rush to fight, but instead calmed down and finished off the remaining enemies.

While last-hitting minions, he observed Shen Yuege's gameplay and discovered that she was already quite proficient at using her Q skill. Fortunately, early on, the healer's Q skill didn't require prediction, so Shen Yuege wouldn't miss.

"You can try using your E skill now," Lu Ran said. "The E skill silences enemies; if you hit them, they won't be able to use any skills for a few seconds."

What does silence mean?

"They can't use skills, they can only use basic attacks. If you throw your E on the enemy mage, he won't be able to cast spells."

Shen Yuege tried it out, casting her E skill, and a purple beam of light hit the enemy Caitlyn.

Caitlyn on the other side was about to use her skill, but she stood still for two seconds and didn't use anything.

"He's not moving!" Shen Yuege exclaimed excitedly.

"He's not immobile, he just can't use skills. But he can still walk and do basic attacks," Lu Ran said. "Take this opportunity to attack him."

The two of them attacked together, taking away half of Caitlyn's health.

Caitlyn immediately used her skill after the silence effect ended, hitting Lu Ran's Ashe.

Lu Ran's health dropped significantly, and Shen Yuege immediately pressed W to heal him.

"Good addition," Lu Ran said.

Shen Yuege was a little embarrassed by the praise, but she didn't stop what she was doing.

Eight minutes into the game, Lu Ran and Shen Yuege had already destroyed the enemy's bottom lane tower.

Both of them were two levels higher than their opponents, and their equipment was also significantly better.

The situation in the top and mid lanes was not so smooth.

The player who picked Ryze in the top lane was completely overwhelmed by the two opponents in the top lane.

His positioning and operation were very clumsy. He often inexplicably walked under the enemy's tower and was killed by the tower, or rushed into the middle of two enemy players and was focused down and killed instantly.

The middle lane is even more chaotic.

Garen and Master Yi were locked in mid lane, neither willing to give way.

The two were having a great time fighting for minions, but the enemy mid-lane mage single-handedly suppressed them both.

Garen rushed in to fight, but the mage's combo took away most of his health, and he slunk back to the tower.

Master Yi tried to flank, but after circling around for a long time, he couldn't find an angle and was eventually killed by the enemy's defensive tower.

"Lu Ran, it seems like we're not doing too well on our side." Shen Yuege looked at her teammates dying one after another on the minimap and was a little worried.

"It's okay, it's a bot game," Lu Ran said. "We just need to push down the bottom lane. Stay with me, don't get separated."

If he lost a simple AI match, Lu Ran was thinking of just banging his head against a tofu block and dying.

With my current gear, including a Phantom Dancer and an Infinity Edge, and looking at the bots on the other side with their bunch of random items...

Lu Ran just wanted to yell, "Who else?!"

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't kill his teammates, Lu Ran felt he could take on ten of them.

The two continued pushing down the bottom lane and soon reached the enemy's second tower.

The two AI opponents are defending the tower very tightly and refuse to come out.

Lu Ran didn't rush to the tower. Instead, he led Shen Yuege to push the minion wave forward, letting his own minions tank the tower, and then took the opportunity to attack the tower.

Shen Yuege's Soraka stood in the back, occasionally using her Q to harass the opponent, and healing Lu Ran whenever she saw him being attacked.

The second tower was quickly destroyed as well.

"Where to now?" Shen Yuege asked.

"Go back to base to resupply, then head to mid lane," Lu Ran said. "Take down the mid lane tower, then fight Baron."

"What is a big dragon?"

"The strongest jungle monster on the map will give the whole team a very powerful buff when you kill it. With that buff, pushing towers will be much faster."

Shen Yuege nodded, followed Lu Ran back to the city to buy equipment, and then headed towards the middle lane.

Along the way, Lu Ran was unstoppable, killing anyone who stood in his way.

Shen Yuege only needs to follow behind and heal, and she can get a lot of assists.

She glanced at Lu Ran, who was engrossed in the game, and suddenly realized that Lu Ran was actually quite handsome when he played games.

They won the game without any suspense.

The three passersby, with no sense of involvement, won the game without even realizing it.

However, Lu Ran knew that they might not be so lucky in the next match, and might not be able to be matched with a pro player like him.

Players who can win against AI on their first try are extremely rare in the game.

If a solo competition were held right now, Lu Ran believed he would definitely be the champion.

After playing several rounds against AI opponents with Shen Yuege, Lu Ran dominated and won every game.

Even in the last game, they were playing against regular AI opponents.

Although Shen Yuege didn't play this kind of game much before, for some reason, Lu Ran seemed to her just like he was in the game.

Its radiance is unparalleled.

But she was still thinking about what she had just said.

"You're Ashe, and I'm a healer?"

"You're Ashe, I'm your healer!"

"You love sucking on me..."

"Lu Ran!!!"
