Believe me, I really am a professional League of Legends player.

Chapter 12 You guys get stronger through training, I get stronger by slacking off!

"Hahaha, we got it! A mere level 5 land, cleared in an hour and a half!" Li Fan shouted excitedly.

[Such incredible luck! Can Ma Chao really be this crazy?]

[Outrageous, is it even possible to deal that much damage?]

[I refuse to accept this! Why can't I, one of the Three Sovereigns, do the same? Do you look down on me, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian?]

[I'm getting a bit bored. This long march in the game is such a waste of time.]

[What's so boring about it? The game has been using this mode for so long, it's quite fun.]

[Reported! Reported! The streamer is definitely cheating! His gacha pulls are so smooth, and his early game progression is so easy?!]

【Wait, is this your first time playing Rise of Kingdoms? You seem so skilled! This is a niche gem of a game!】

Not counting long-range attacks within three squares of the main city, the force numbered 10,008.

Ma Chao single-handedly killed 6,400 men!
The remaining 4,400 defenders.

It sounds absurd, but that's Ma Chao!

Although the others didn't understand, seeing Li Fan laughing so happily, they also jumped out and spammed the comments.

"I think I'm sick. I'm sad for no reason. The dogs in the live stream are barking loudly, so I started barking too."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[Damn it, this streamer is ruthless; he insults others while also insulting himself.]

[You'll get used to it. Unreal Engine is just that abstract, but that's precisely why we find it so interesting. Other streamers wouldn't dare to do that.]

Haha, handsome people are even cool when they curse.

Clearly, this person came from Weibo to watch the fun, and half of the comments were about how handsome he was.

After all, only about 10% of the fans in Li Fan's live stream are from the League of Legends faction, the remaining 40% are from QQ Speed, and 1% are from Rise of Kingdoms...

The number of players in the main Rise of Kingdoms game is indeed pitifully small.

It's nowhere near as good as mainstream mobile games.

The good thing is that there are many wealthy players, and their annual game revenue ranks among the top in the NetEase game industry.

Therefore, it has always been a mobile game that NetEase Games values, and it undergoes version maintenance every week.

A draw after five minutes of waiting.

We finally succeeded in taking down the level 5 stone at the entrance.

Li Fan excitedly shared the battle report on the alliance channel.

I'm the luckiest person ever: Wow! I'm in awe!

Brave Official: Ma Chao is awesome for pioneering, he's too strong. Brother, can you help me open up level 5?

Xia_Li Xunhuan: I was lucky, Ma Chao's battle tactics were triggered a lot, otherwise it would be hard to say.

Having finally conquered the level 5 land, Li Fan couldn't help but feel his stomach rumbling.

When I checked the time, wow, it was already one o'clock.

After broadcasting for so long, it's no wonder I got hungry. I quickly greeted the viewers in the live stream and then ended the broadcast.

Instead of leaving immediately, the viewers started chatting in the live stream.

Abu saw the notification that the streamer had left.

He felt... he should probably move Li Fan out of the basement.

Li Fancai's brazen livestreaming of his slacking off in the basement shows that his actions were somewhat inappropriate.

It can also easily lead to self-abandonment. Coincidentally, I'll have Li Fan play in a training match in a few days.

Using this as an excuse, he could move out of the basement and into the training room where a coach and he himself would supervise him. Li Fan probably wouldn't dare to act so recklessly then.

Then, if he doesn't perform well in practice matches, he'll be demoted to the second team. If he wants to stream, let him stream as much as he wants.

Thinking of this, Abu stood up directly from his office chair.

After watching the live stream for so long, he was also hungry. He took this opportunity to say something, mainly because Li Fan was always trending on social media. Even though he was a substitute player, he felt it was affecting the club's reputation.

Although EDG's reputation was almost completely ruined after last year's World Championship.

But they are still the most popular team right now.

The more league championships a team wins, the more fans it naturally attracts. Moreover, the factory manager is like a pillar of strength; as long as he's there, there are no other problems.

Li Fan sat down in the cafeteria with his tray and started eating.

To be honest, EDG's food is really bad. It's mostly boiled in plain water, with absolutely no fried or spicy ingredients.

It is indeed a militarized base.

No wonder... Some people online say that TheShy initially went to EDG, but ended up going to iG because the food was so bad.

At that moment, Abu was seen arriving at the cafeteria.

Haven't eaten yet?
Why does it feel like coming here to eat was a mistake?
Li Fan felt he needed to speed up his eating so he could hurry back to clear the wasteland.

At that moment, Abu walked towards him with a plate.

"Manager Abu."

"Hmm, you haven't eaten yet after training for so long?" Abu asked in response, then naturally sat down opposite Li Fan.

Have you been training for a long time?

It seems there's been no training...

I still feel a little guilty about this.

After all, EDG really did pay themselves salaries.

I got my salary last month, and it would be a real waste of time if I didn't train.

And it feels like Abu is targeting me, maybe he's secretly watching my live stream...

Otherwise, why would they suddenly ask about training?

Sure enough, Abu cut straight to the point: "The environment in the basement is still a bit lacking, and the network isn't as stable as in the training room. Get ready, and we'll move back to the training room this afternoon."

"No, Coach!" Li Fan almost choked on his food, quickly swallowing it as he retorted, "The basement is great! It's very quiet, no one bothers me, it's convenient for my live stream... no, for my own extra practice, really, I'm really used to it!"

"Adapt to what? Do athletes still prefer training in the basement?"

"The training room is where the players should be. It was a mistake to ask you to move there earlier."

"We're about to have a training match. Even though you're a substitute, you can't fall behind in tactical understanding and teamwork. The training room will make it easier to communicate and for me and the training team to observe your condition."

Li Fan now recalled what the factory director had told him.

I'll be playing practice matches these next few days, I don't know which team I'll be playing against, but I'll make sure I get some practice.

"And... your relaxation is almost more intense than that of the main competition team members."

Having said all that, even if Li Fan wanted to make one last desperate attempt, there was still nothing he could do.

Although I admit that I'm training while sleeping, who would believe that?
Most importantly, improving one's skills is closely related to streaming other games.

Look at this...

He should really think about how to safely maintain his streaming career during training matches.

You guys get stronger through training, I get stronger by slacking off!

"Okay, manager, I'll move the computer back to the training room this afternoon," Li Fan said.

Abu's expression softened slightly when he saw that he had agreed, and he nodded: "Okay, hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, go and move it."

After saying that, Abu lowered his head and began to eat, saying no more.
