Shermaine froze for a moment. The opposing team’s bottom lane was quick to capitalize on her slight mistake. Blits lunged at her, but she managed to flash away just in time.
However, Jinks, sensing an opportunity, flashed in aggressively, and the fight was on.
The result of the engagement was that their support, in an effort to protect Shermaine, the marksman, was taken down by the opposing Jinks. Shermaine narrowly avoided being double–killed.
“Are you busy?” she asked.
“I’m not busy,” he replied.
Shermaine, hiding in the bush, said, “Download the game first. Once this match is over, I’ll invite you.”
Joshua agreed. He put down his wine glass and headed to the study. He turned on his laptop, first familiarizing himself with the game Heroic Epic, and then followed the instructions from Baidu to install it.
Meanwhile, those watching the live stream were quick to mock Shermaine’s mistake. [Is this the level of last season’s number one ladder player, King? Feels pretty weak. Totally threw the support under the bus.]
After returning to full health at the base, Shermaine immediately rushed back to the bottom lane, with the resurrected support right behind her.
Roy’s Kazik had also quietly made his way over, undetected by the opposing support, and even their jungler seemed unsure of Roy’s location, failing to send out any warning signals.
“Milady, I’m moving in,” Roy announced. With that, his Kazik leaped out, charging straight at the opposing marksman.
Since Jinks had already used her flash, she couldn’t retreat in time when Kazik engaged.
A full combo from Kazik would have kill her, had it not been for Blits, who absorbed a significant amount of damage for her. Even so, Jinks was in a precarious position.
No worries, though. Shermaine was there.
Her Q skill dealt a massive amount of physical damage, killing Jinks in one hit.
Subsequently, Roy’s Kazik finished off Blits as well.
Both players secured a kill each.
Roy was highly popular among players across various servers, so his impressive play earned him cheers from the fans watching the live stream.
After securing the kills, Kazik retreated. By the time the other lanes could send reinforcements, it was too late.
However, while Roy was reaping rewards in the bottom lane, the opposing jungler had gone top to gank Raven. The Monkey King engaged them head–on.
Given Raven’s high damage output, Monkey King fell in battle.
But they didn’t mind. With Roy and King on their side, they were confident. They’d crush the opponents in the late game.
By the time Joshua had finished downloading the game and obtained a Koandria region account from Bradley, he logged into Heroic Epic on the Koandria server.
The video call between them remained connected. Joshua listened to the rapid tapping of the keyboard, patiently waiting for Shermaine to finish her

The last time Shermaine played, her matches seemed to last around twenty to thirty minutes before she started a new one, But this time a forty minutes, and there was still no sign of it ending.
At this moment, they were in the middle of a crucial team fight. Both sides had already taken down each other’s high towers. Whoever won this team con fight would win the match.
In the end, Shermaine’s team was down to her and the support, while the opposing team had their marksman and top faner. In terms of damage output. the opponents had the upper hand.
Naturally, they chose to go all–in, aiming to take out King and secure the victory in this ranked match.
However, to their surprise, after taking the support’s kill, Shermaine still managed to outplay them.
A well–timed ultimate allowed her to dash in, reposition, and the shield from her ultimate played a crucial role in absorbing damage. In the end, they all went down.
The creep wave happened to be in the middle of the river. After clearing the wave and healing up, Shermaine pushed forward with her troops.
However, they were not ready to concede. The Mage, who had been taken out earlier by Roy’s ambush, had respawned. If she could hold on, they could still make a play.
But that idea quickly dissipated when Shermaine charged straight into the enemy’s base and engaged the Mage.
With a series of slick maneuvers that left the mage reeling, it became clear to everyone that there was no coming back for the opposing team. After the Mage was once again taken down, Shermaine dismantled the crystal, securing victory.
Those who had been watching the live stream and questioning Shermaine’s skill were now left with nothing but admiration.
Shermaine’s marksman in the late game was truly formidable–aggressive, with impeccable positioning that exuded confidence. Even through the screen, viewers could feel the sheer dominance of her marksman.
Undoubtedly, King had become even more of a sensation in the esports community, with many lamenting that she wasn’t pursuing a professional career.
After winning the ranked match, Roy and the others were overjoyed and extremely satisfied with their performance.
Back in the game room, Shermaine typed: [Joshua is coming. I’m out.]
Roy was taken aback. ‘Joshua is actually going to play?‘ he thought to himself.
Roy felt like he was living in a fantasy world. He said, “Milady, you don’t have to leave. Just let them make room for him.”
Then, one of the players spoke up. “Roy, King, I’ll just leave. My live stream duration isn’t enough, and I need to get back to work. Bye.”
With that, he exited the room, but not before adding Shermaine as a friend.
With the spot now vacant, Shermaine, noticing that the video call was still connected, spoke up. “Joshua, are you in the game?”
“Yes,” Joshua replied.
“What’s your game ID?” she asked.
Joshua provided his ID.
After seeing Shermaine add him as a friend, he immediately accepted. Then, Shermaine invited him into the room. The account he borrowed was a Diamond–ranked one, capable of playing ranked matches.
Roy called out. “Hi, Joshua?”
Chapter 166
Joshua typed back, his response cold and distant. [Hi.)
After confirming that it was indeed Joshua joining the game, Roy decided to continue with another match. Four Kings leading a novice – voulais piece of cake; Joshua would definitely coast to victory.
Shermaine asked, “Joshua, what position do you want to play?”
Joshua, who had done his homework, replied, “Support.”
“Got it,” Shermaine said, wondering, ‘He can stick close to me to avoid getting crushed by the enemy. As a result, the young player who was originally playing support switched to the mid lane.
After the ban selection, Joshua chose Tam Keech as his support hero. Among all the support heroes he had studied, he was most satisfied with this one’s
abilities.
The hero could swallow Shermaine’s character whole if she were in danger and then make a run for it. The only downside was that the hero was a bit on the ugly side.
In this match, Shermaine picked Caitlin as her marksman hero. The opponents this time were regular players, not professionals, but they were still strong enough to reach Master and Challenger ranks.
Without needing Shermaine’s guidance, Joshua proactively bought a ward and placed it in the river. However, being new to bit slow and clumsy.
If a fight broke out, he would definitely be the first to go down, with no chance of escape.
the game, his actions were a
When Tam Keech reached level four, Joshua used his ultimate ability and swallowed Shermaine’s Caitlin whole, then hid in the bushes, staying still.
Shermaine watched helplessly as the cannon minion she was about to kill was taken down by her own minions, causing her to fall short of the gold needed to buy her desired equipment.
Shermaine pursed her lips. “Spit me out.”
“Okay,” Joshua responded and obediently spat Shermaine out. “I was just testing the skill.”
Shermaine wasn’t angry. She focused on clearing the minions and occasionally harassed the enemy, preventing them from farming.
At that moment, Roy came to gank. He saw Joshua’s ultimate swallow Shermaine’s Caitlin again, and then he strolled past him leisurely. As a result, Ro was surrounded and taken down by the enemy marksman and support.
Roy was momentarily stunned, thinking to himself, ‘Joshua, I think you’re trolling me right now.”
Shermaine sighed and thought, ‘I really want to help, but there’s nothing I can do.‘
Joshua, who had been carrying Shermaine around, finally put her down and typed an explanation. [Misclick.]
