HBWnovel Chapter 40
Chapter 40
“I wonder how Mangming’s solo queue is going lately.”
I casually started a conversation with Mangming in the chat.
[Mangming: Ah, recently]
[Mangming: It's been going well]
[Mangming: I mentioned it before, but]
[Mangming: I reached ‘Master’]
[Oh, haha]
[How long are you going to brag about reaching Master, lol]
[Stop bragging, you brat]@@@@
Mangming proudly typed in the chat.
If I were in her shoes, I’d probably want to brag too.
‘Master is impressive.’
I’m still in Platinum, so maybe that’s why it feels so far off, but Master seems like a huge achievement.
I’m sure I could reach it with effort, but for now, it still feels distant.
Anyway.
“Well then, since Mangming said solo queue’s fun, I guess I’ll try a game too. Ahem.”
I said that and naturally started up the game.
[????️Omniscient Cthulhu: ??]
[????️Omniscient Cthulhu: Why are you starting the game suddenly?]
[????️Omniscient Cthulhu: You didn’t get money for this, did you?]
[No way you’re doing this because of money, lol]
[Hmm..]
[It doesn’t feel right if you’re doing this for money]
[Hwanhee: Ew, sellout]
[But if it's 100k, I can understand, haha]
[100k isn’t a small amount, so I guess it’s okay]
[Harin: Hahaha, 100k is definitely impressive]
[Kang Hoo-min: No shame at all.]
[Honesty is the best policy, lol]
That seemed to pass naturally.
With that in mind, I continued to start the game and queued up.
Of course, I was going to pick a random champion again today.
It might be fun to play a champion I wanted, but there’s something about randomly picking one that’s also enjoyable.
As I was thinking that, the game quickly matched.
Ding-!
The game was locked in.
“Oh, what? That was quick.”
I was surprised at how fast the game had started.
I didn’t expect it to be this fast.
[????️Omniscient Cthulhu: Seems like a lot of people are playing Reore today]
[Reore has been getting popular lately]
[There have been more people joining]
[Personally, I really don’t like the influx of new players, I’d rather play with people who know the game]
[Look at these new people trying to make their mark, lol]
[Hwanhee: Those people need to be kicked out for Reore to stay healthy]
[The fact that Reore is getting healthier now]
[Mangming: I also got a quick game today]
[Mangming: It’s surprising]
[This isn’t a troll pick]
[If you check my history, I usually play these kinds of champions]
[You can trust me]
[It’s an alt account]
I even made a reference to my alt account, which is taboo in Reore.
Since my history is good, I figured it would make sense.
If it weren’t an alt, my win rate wouldn’t be this high.
[????️Omniscient Cthulhu: Uh, alt account trolling isn’t cool...]
[But your win rate is seriously good]
[Your win rate is probably around 70%, right?]
[Hwanhee: 70% win rate? That sounds like a lie]
[It’s real, lol]
[Check the win rate site, it’s about 70%]
[That’s impressive, haha]
[It’s hard to believe this is someone’s first time in Reore]
[How is this their first game in Reore, their stats are crazy]
After I typed that, a little while later.
[No one normal trolls with alt accounts]
[Is this really an alt account?]
[What’s with this Master rank]
[Wow, that’s insane]
The doubts from the chat disappeared.
“This is weird, no one doubts it.”
If it were me, I would’ve doubted it immediately.
[They probably don’t doubt it because your alt win rate is too good]
[????️Omniscient Cthulhu: It’s not surprising considering your win rate is 70%]
[If you’re not doing serious picks and still have a 70% win rate, what’s the problem?]
[Mangming: Hmmm]
[Mangming: I guess people believed it more because it’s Master and not just ‘Diamond’]
[Harin: The Master rank bragging is a bit much though]
[Hwanhee: I don’t get why you’re not playing the game from 0 points in Master]
[Well, if you lose one game, you’ll drop to Diamond, haha]
As I thought about how I was lucky no one doubted it, I set my runes.
This time, I got help from Harin.
[Harin: You should take these runes]
[Harin: Then you can just take TP]
[Harin: I’m going to start my own stream now]
[Bye bye]
[See you later]
[Finally, starting your stream]
[????️Omniscient Cthulhu: Bye bye]
With that, Harin helped with the runes and left to start her own stream.
She’s probably been streaming for way too long these days.
I thought about that as I continued with my game.
[The Dog of Pavlov donated 1,000 won!]
Explain yourself, explain yourself, explain yourself, explain yourself...
[Wegis donated 1,000 won!]
What were you doing with Harin, what were you doing with Harin, what were you doing with Harin...
Suddenly, troublemakers barged in with donations.
