If Chen Mu was a maxed-out level-30 player that had runes and masteries,1 his damage would have been more significant. Nevertheless, the increase would not have been particularly substantial.

Case in point, under masteries, if his health bar was lower than forty percent, the damage he dealt would be increased by five percent. Moreover, there was a mastery that could increase his total damage by three percent.

Nevertheless, even if they were all triggered together, they would only add eighty points to his one thousand points worth of damage. They were mainly used to supplement very critical damage.

Once Chen Mu had his hands on the Colossal Grail and the Needlessly Large Rod, the Golem’s bonus AP points reached a hundred and sixty.

It meant that his maxed out Q’s damage would be three hundred points plus four hundred and sixty points. On the other hand, his level-1 ultimate would be four hundred and ten points.1

With the same method of calculation, Chen Mu’s Golem was able to KS even more efficiently.

Chen Mu spectated battles from the edge as they went on. He would wait for the crucial moment when his enemy’s health bar was low before immediately rushing forth to get his kill.

Since his team had a significant advantage in the current situation, his teammates did not say anything. Nevertheless, he was continuously flamed and called a KS dog by Chen Yifei. If he liked KSing that much, why did he not pick the Hand of Noxus from the start?

“The Hand of Noxus is good at KSing? You should’ve told me that earlier. I’ll use him next round,” Chen Mu said.

“…” Chen Yifei was rendered speechless by him.

Since the cybercafe’s requirement was to score ten consecutive kills and not achieve ten consecutive wins, was KSing not the most important thing at hand? 

Chen Mu got his hands on the Colossal Cap1 twenty-five minutes into the game. It took him nothing more than the most basic attack to kill Ashe.

When Ashe was forced to retreat back to her tower from the high ground, a huge team fight broke out. Shortly after, the internet cafe’s system announced:

“Congratulations to the player in the 25th seat who has managed to score ten consecutive kills. You’ve received an internet fee of five Yuan.”

“This hour’s fee is free now, so you can have all the kills,” Chen Mu said as he took the lead and prepared himself. He wanted to help Chen Yifei so that she could get her internet fee waived as well.

After all, Chen Yifei’s money was also in Chen Mu’s hands. If he managed to save her money, it was akin to saving himself money.

Chen Yifei was moved by Chen Mu’s actions. Nevertheless, after she had bought her full item build, a couple of Headshots was all she needed to get a few more kills consecutively.

It was easy for Chen Mu to let her KS him as well. As long as their target’s health bar was higher than his Golem’s total damage, all he had to do was pull them over and execute a single combo attack. On the other hand, if their target’s health bar was lower than his total damage output, he only had to pull them over without using his ultimate and CC them.

By the end of the match, Chen Yifei managed to score twelve consecutive kills with Chen Mu’s help.

Chen Yifei little face that had an excited expression on it turned red. Having played the game for a long time, she had gotten plenty of kills before. However, throughout her whole lifetime, she had never played a match where she did not die even once.

Chen Yifei felt that Chen Mu seemed way more robust than Shi Xin who had a thousand and seven hundred ELO points. However, why did Chen Mu not have a single level-30 account?

Then, as for Chen Mu’s second pick, he actually locked in Darius, the Hand of Noxus!

Chen Mu took a look at his ability stats and was immediately overjoyed. The champion was simply a KS god.

His ultimate dealt true damage, and there was no need to calculate the armor and magic resistance points of his enemies for him to KS.

There were three main types of damage in League of Legends: physical damage, magic damage, and true damage.

The first two could be reduced by armor or magic resistance points. On the other hand, true damage could only be offset by white shields.

Such white shields were from Barriers or Clockwork’s E ability. Nevertheless, Chen Mu’s opponent for this match was Garen.

Chen Mu was still unclear about each champion’s abilities. However, the Garen he was facing was playing quite straightforwardly. The Garen first came forth and cast his Q.

Chen Mu did not budge an inch and instead engaged on him.

The reason was simple, Garen was being sieged by Chen Mu’s minions.

How much damage could a minion inflict anyway?

Melee minions hit for twelve points of damage, while caster minions hit for twenty-five points of damage.

Adding all six of them, they dealt thirty-six plus seventy-five points of damage. A single round of it would cause a hundred and eleven points worth of damage.

Chen Mu’s Hand of Noxus could only cause seventy-four points worth of damage in the beginning even after taking his Long Sword into consideration. Since Chen Mu had no rune bonuses, his attack damage was much lower than Garen who had eighty-one points worth of damage.

Nevertheless, the two of them still could not compete with the combined attack damage of the six minions. In the early stages of the game, minions could simply be called the fathers of players.

Hence, even though Chen Mu had no runes, he was completely unfazed when his opponent wanted to come at him because he was standing near his minions.

At first glance, it seemed as if the Hand of Noxus’ health bar was being reduced faster than Garen’s. However, it was only because Chen Mu had been silenced. Therefore, the straightforward Garen wanted to exhaust a little more of Chen Mu’s HP before leaving.

The two exchanged auto attacks a couple more times before Garen realized that his health bar was actually the one dropping even faster. Thus, Garen immediately turned around and was going to retreat.

Unfortunately for him, Chen Mu hurriedly positioned his mouse cursor and used his E to apprehend Garen who was in front of him.

It was a little trick that Chen Mu had discovered by himself. He first remembered the effects of each skill he had and waited until he needed to use them before pressing them.

The damage output of the minions was quite tremendous, so it would be a waste if Chen Mu did not use it to his advantage. A level-1 Q of his could not exceed two hundred points worth of damage, but it was possible for the minions to reach the same amount of damage with only two seconds of attacking.

After Chen Mu had pulled Garen back, the latter’s health bar began dropping so fast that the only thing he could do was use Flash and skedaddle out of there.

When Garen saw that the Hand of Noxus only had Ghost and Heal, he assumed that Chen Mu was just a regular noob. Subsequently, he was the one with half his health bar left; it was an embarrassing moment for him.

Garen, whose health bar had dropped as low as two hundred points, was then afraid of stepping up to take CS. Hence, he made way for Chen Mu to push.

Both of them had a Long Sword and three Red Potions. However, Chen Mu was able to forcibly turn the tides because of his understanding of the minions.

Even noobs were aware of their inability to tank them in the early stages of the game. Nevertheless, for Chen Mu to have such a deep understanding that he was able to accurately grasp the amount of damage the minions could deal, as well as learning the ability to allow his minions to do more damage; it could be said that even players with high ELO points might not have considered such details.

Although Garen’s playing method was rather straightforward, the number of matches he had played was still relatively higher. Hence, even though he was at a disadvantage, he knew that he would get killed if his health bar got too low. Thus, Garen did not allow Chen Mu to kill him in the early levels of the game.

Chen Mu was at ease as well. Scoring CS with the Hand of Noxus was ten times easier compared to Fiddlesticks, the Harbinger of Doom’s. This was because the latter had a base attack damage that was insanely low. In addition to that, Fiddlesticks’ basic attacks were much slower.

Chen Mu did not miss a single last hit in the first three minion waves. Moreover, Garen was put in an awkward position where he always ended up being beaten by Chen Mu as soon as he stepped up.

Chen Mu paid a lot of attention to the minions’ targets and always ran away the moment he scored a last hit, not giving them a chance to target him.

The calculation of experience points Chen Mu had learned the day prior played a big role in the match as he went on to fight Garen each time before the minions leveled up.

Chen Mu leveled up after just two hits and quickly upgraded his abilities before he engaged in another brutal fight.

Garen was suppressed by a total of twenty hits, and he had to retreat as much as three times.

When the Hand of Noxus reached level-6, Garen was not able to respond in time and only saw the moment when his last minion died.

The Hand of Noxus rose violently and immediately used Ghost before he executed a combo with all of his abilities, forcing Garen to respawn back at the Fountain.

Garen felt helpless and thought that the Hand of Noxus was only lucky to have hit level-6.

Little did he know that it had all been a part of Chen Mu’s plan to solo-kill him.

At that same moment, a sound of grieve was heard from bot lane. Chen Yifei had locked in Sheriff like before, but she was double-killed!
