Chapter 506: There Was A Traitor!

The Jungler relied heavily on going with the flow. This flow referred to when reaching Level 3 and also getting both buffs. This transitions into being able to buy the Skirmisher’s Sabre as well as boots. You should be able to buy these items on your first recall back to base. After that, roam all three lanes and just go with the flow.
Luocheng’s explanation toward the early game as a Jungler became an eye opener.
This strategy was probably not even realized by Junglers in diamond rank, making those players who had a high rank feel as though they had obtained a valuable treasure!
It was not a waste of time at all. With just this tactic, many Junglers would be able to gain a significant boost to their strength!
As expected from Captain Yu, he had a completely different perspective from a normal person!
Luocheng taught the Junglers how to avoid the wards in the lane, which could be done by looking at the top lane while taking the buff. This was because it was very obvious when placing a ward in the lane. Even if you missed it, you should ask your teammate. If your teammate was skillful or at around diamond rank, they should be able to tell you where the ward was placed.
If you wanted to be able to tell if the enemy was trying to countergank, that would need a lot of skill. In the early-game, you could tell from the level of the enemy in the lane. After that, you could only rely on game sense accumulated through playing the game again and again.
A professional player’s flow, the double kill obtained, those were not coincidences. That was because they knew how to use whatever available resources and they could expect the unexpected!
To put it simply, this was a game of wits, and it would become more apparent the later into the game it got.
***
A first blood obtained by another followed up kill. With this, Luocheng would be ahead by 700 gold. Also, now that his boots of mobility was buffed and its cost was decreased to 800 gold, Luocheng could easily buy the items that he needed as well as three more wards!
Wards. This was probably the item that was the best for ganking, but most Junglers tend to overlook it.
The enemy Lee Sin was clearly two levels below himself. With these two stealth wards in the enemy jungle that was placed for vision, not only could he choose the best time to gank Lee Sin, his teammates on the lane would be safe as well as they would know where Lee Sin was.
For the last ward, Luocheng chose to place it in the tiny bush to the right of the mid lane.
The ward placements were simply amazing. With this kind of placement, there was almost no place that could not be seen in the summoner’s arena!
If the Mid placed a ward toward the top and the Jungler placed the ward near the bottom lane, if they placed down more wards, it would basically mean that they would gain vision of the whole map. It did not matter which lane the enemy Jungler went to gank, the options he had would definitely be limited.
By buying all these wards, Luocheng refused to give Lee Sin even one single bit of hope!
By the time Luocheng had finished buying his items and gone into the lanes to place down those wards, the vibe he was giving off was basically that of a hunter setting up a trap in the jungle to wait for Lee Sin to jump into the trap.
After three minutes, the enemy Jungler, Lee Sin, suddenly had low health for some reason. A bloodthirsty Kha’Zix appeared and zoomed right past the enemy Mid that wanted to help out and scared him away.
Shallow Dream was in the mid lane, and since she had queued with Luocheng, how could her support be slower than the enemy’s Mid? When Luocheng went into the enemy’s jungle to kill Lee Sin, she purposely went closer. She knew that with two buffs and also the advantage of two levels, it would be easy for Luocheng to kill off Lee Sin. The one thing that she had to do now was to block off the enemy Mid to prevent him from helping his Jungler.
Around six minutes after the game had started, Luocheng had already gotten three kills!
***
With this extremely great start, Jingsiong, who was attacking the bottom lane, started to frown!
The one who had disconnected was the Support. In a normal game, the side who disconnected would always result in a loss.
As Jingsiong was too caught up in pressuring and killing the enemy ADC, he looked at the kda score and realized that Kha’Zix already had three kills!
Kha’Zix was different from most other Junglers. The more Kha’Zix gots kills, the stronger Kha’Zix would be later in the game!
“What the f*ck!” Jingsiong started to scold his teammates.
Jingsiong knew the person playing Lee Sin personally, and he was quite a skillful Jungler in Korea too!
As a professional player, letting the enemy farm you in the jungle in the early-game? Did you still have the audacity to stay in the professional player circle!?
Really, if this person did not steal his jungling position, the enemy would have already been crushed by himself!
Jingsiong was the golden Jungler in Team Vic-S, but this time, his position had been taken by someone else, which was why he was playing as the bottom laner.
Jingsiong didn’t even get the time to complain when another person was killed in the mid lane!
With Kha’Zix and Orianna cooperating, they had successfully killed Ziggs that had overextended. With his skills, it would not have been easy for Ziggs to be killed, but Luocheng was already Level 5 and almost reaching Level 6. With a combo of skills as well as the buffs included, he had been killed by Luocheng...
Four kills!
It was only around the seventh minute of the game and Luocheng already had four kills on his Kha’Zix!
Luocheng basically had the aura of a grim reaper, and those players who had trained for so long could only marvel in awe!
Jingsiong really could not stand it any longer.
This bunch of people had come in specially to hunt and yet, the early-game was already a zero to four. Who was hunting who now!? This was a total wipe to their former plans!
This game could not be played in this way!
Park Yisheng could not remain calm himself. How did that China rat have such good luck? He had gotten so many kills at such an early stage!
How could Yisheng allow Luocheng to continue his killing spree? Kha’Zix was one of the strongest Junglers there was, if he continued to farm in the early-game, the Support would not be able to play the late-game!
“Kunti, Kunti, get on to your lane now!” Yisheng sent a message to Kunti.
“What’s going on? Didn’t you tell me to just disconnect and stay that way?” Kunti said.
“That b*stard had a great early game. Get back to playing in your lane like normal. People already know that you are on our side now. Also, tell us your Jungler’s position on the map once you do. Don’t let him get kills anymore.” Yisheng said.
Kunti was stunned...
D*mn, even Kunti thought that Park Yisheng was really shameless.
The one thing that Junglers were scared of the most was of people knowing their location. If he followed Yisheng’s orders and reported his position, the Jungler would not be able to exert his potential.

“The Support has finally reconnected. After this, it should probably get easier. If the Support follows the ADC and does not feed intentionally, after reaching Level 6, the late game would be easier to play.” Luocheng spoke into the microphone.
Now, the only lane that Luocheng had not been to was the bottom lane. The enemy top lane and mid lane had already been visited by him. As for the enemy Jungler? He had already been beaten black and blue by Luocheng. Since the ADC would not have much damage before twenty minutes, he should be more vigilant in roaming. By buying more time for the ADC and the Support, the game would be in their hands.
After disconnecting, the rate of leveling up was quite quick. By playing efficiently, you could get to Level 6 extremely quickly. Luocheng saw that their bottom lane had already been pushed, but since their area of vision was great, he could let them slowly farm after the Support reconnected, so he did not care too much.
The only problem was that no matter where he went to gank, even with his excellent movements when trying to gank the mid lane, they always evaded!
This could not be! With this strategy, it had an above 90% chance that it would work, how could they have run off?
Did they have wards here?
Luocheng had memorized the placement of the wards in the lanes. With that being said, how could the champions that were in the lane who needed gold buy that many wards? The only one who would normally do it would be the Jungler, Lee Sin...
The suspicious thing was, did Lee Sin even still have enough money to buy wards?
After looking at his economic condition, it seemed as though he had not bought any wards.
***
SHUT DOWN!
Finally, at around the thirteen-minute mark of the game, just as Luocheng was trying to steal the blue buff, he was surrounded by four enemies. That was around 500 gold bounty...
Luocheng could not believe it. His passive had been refreshed, which also meant that the enemies did not have wards there. If that was so, how could his plan of stealing the blue buff have been seen through? Did the enemy have a greater game sense than himself?
Alright, the enemies were great Korean players, it made sense that the game sense in Diamond 1 should be at this level. It looked like he had to be more careful later.
Luocheng silently praised the standards of Korean players. In the next six minutes, other than killing the jungle monsters, he was not able to gank successfully, and this made Luocheng immensely unhappy.
After a mere few months, had the standards of the Korean E-sports advanced that much?
It was clear that the enemy did not have any wards there, and even after scanning a few times, he did not see any. Why did it feel like the enemy always knew his location...?
It was a shame that Luocheng was caught again. He was ambushed by three people with Flashes and their Ultimates.
Luocheng was really bitter. He really did not know how to explain what had happened to the 100,000 people watching him.
***
Lin Dong was watching by the side. The people in the Demacia Cafe were also nervous for Luocheng.
Suddenly, Lin Dong’s phone started to ring. It was Team Beijing’s captain, Xie Lianda, also known as Number One.
“Lin Dong, is Luocheng right beside you?” Lianda asked.
“Yes, he is streaming right now, are you seeing this?” Lin Dong replied.
“How the f*ck am I not watching this! Faster put the phone next to Luocheng’s ear.” There was a hint of panic in Lianda’s voice.
Lin Dong did not understand what had happened, but he obediently put the phone next to Luocheng who was trying his best to win.
“Luocheng, you have been betrayed!” Lianda said in a loud voice.
“I know.” Luocheng replied calmly.
In the last game, all of the other lanes had fallen, and in this game, the Support had disconnected. Wasn’t it obvious?
“What I meant was, there is someone planning all of this!” Lianda said.
“All of this?” Luocheng was startled.
“A friend of mine who is also a professional player in Korea told me about this. There are many Koreans that are watching your stream right now. Also, there are many people waiting to ambush you. There is an *sshole in your team that has been reporting your location to the enemies!” Lianda said.
Once Luocheng heard that, he almost swore!
Dang, that was why those enemies had a great game sense all of a sudden, figuring out all his strategies of jungling! There was actually a traitor!
Okay you Korean pieces of sh*t, since you dared to plot against me, if I don’t let all of you die a painful death, my name is not Luocheng!!!
