Genting: You're supposed to teach us skills, but you're going to perform magical arts?

In the small restaurant, Ye Fan poured Zhang Peng a glass of beer.

"Ye Fan, I heard you passed the preliminary rounds?" Zhang Peng asked eagerly.

"Of course, it's just an open audition; it's not like the winners are guaranteed to be chosen."

Ye Fan spoke calmly, with no extra pride on his face, as if winning the preliminary round was just an ordinary thing.

Zhang Peng picked up his glass, clinked it hard with Ye Fan's, tilted his head back and gulped down most of the beer, his face beaming with excitement for his brother.

"You're amazing! Everyone in the school is talking about you now. That play where you crushed a three-star Lissandra has completely taken over the school forum! Wang Teng and Xie Ruyan, who used to mock you, can't even lift their heads now. It's so satisfying to watch!"

Ye Fan smiled, picked up a piece of food and ate slowly, listening to Zhang Peng rambling on about the discussions outside the venue, occasionally responding casually.

He was never one to show off, and the outside world's heated discussions and others' apprehension did not affect his state of mind.

"Tomorrow is the semi-final round, with 24 teams down to 12. The pressure will definitely be immense, so you'd better get into the zone tonight."

Zhang Peng chewed his food, reminding Xie Ruyan of his troubles, then suddenly remembered something and hesitated, "By the way, you and Xie Ruyan..."

Ye Fan put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said calmly, "We've already broken up."

"Oh? Really?"

Zhang Peng looked suspicious. Everyone knew that Ye Fan used to be devoted to Xie Ruyan, and would turn on her on the spot if he heard a bad word about her.

When did you actually come to this realization?

"Are you really Ye Fan?"

The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. Not only did he stop being love-struck, but his Genting skill level also skyrocketed.

Can a person really change that much?

Ye Fan downed his beer in one gulp, then suddenly leaned closer and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you a secret, actually... I'm a time traveler."

"Go to hell!"

Zhang Peng pushed him away.

Ye Fan shrugged. "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it."

"It's good that you've come to terms with it. I told you before that Xie Ruyan wasn't right for you, but you just wouldn't listen. Now that she's gone, you'll definitely be better off."

Zhang Peng was genuinely happy for him.

"Cheers to a better tomorrow!" Ye Fan raised his glass.

"Cheers!"

After finishing his meal, Ye Fan stood up.

"I have to go back to my live stream, I'm leaving now."

"Okay, I'll support you in your live stream tonight." Zhang Peng nodded.

It wasn't until Ye Fan had walked far away that Zhang Peng suddenly slapped his forehead and realized what had happened.

"Braised meat, you haven't paid yet!"

But Ye Fan was nowhere to be seen at this moment.

"That bastard, he promised to treat us, but he tricked me into paying."

Zhang Peng poured himself a glass of wine while cursing and drank it all in one gulp.

"Boss, the bill!"

By the time I got back to my rented room, night had completely fallen.

Ye Fan pushed open the door and entered the room, casually tossing his coat onto the sofa. The room wasn't large, but it was clean and tidy. A decent set of computer equipment was placed by the window, which was where he would broadcast live.

Without wasting any time, he skillfully turned on the machine, logged into the live streaming platform, and debugged the equipment.

As soon as the screen lit up, the long-waiting fans flooded in like a tidal wave.

"Here he comes! The streamer is finally going live!"

"The Teamfight Tactics magician who reached Master rank with 25 consecutive wins is streaming! Front row seats available!"

"What team composition is the streamer planning to play this game? Is he going to play the Empty City Aurelion Sol again?"

"Bring me a Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

The comments scrolled by rapidly, and the popularity score soared at a visible speed.

The clip of Ye Fan's winning streak to reach Master rank last night has been leaked and has gone viral overnight.

A large group of people came to see if the streamer was really as amazing as rumored.

The number of viewers in the live stream instantly exceeded 2.

Ye Fan sat down, put on his headphones, smiled faintly at the camera, and spoke in a clear and steady voice:

"Just finished dinner with friends, so I'm late. I'll just play a few games to warm up tonight, I have other things to do."

As he spoke, he opened Teamfight Tactics and entered the ranked queue.

While waiting, Ye Fan took a sip of water and then said, "Brothers, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take out your money for the foot massage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the barrage of comments intensified.

"Damn it, that jerk streamer is at it again, trying to scam money!"

"That won't do. That's the money I use to save wayward girls."

"A sick mother, a gambling father, a younger brother in school, and a broken woman—if I don't help her, who will?"

"You streamer, you're using the guise of teaching to make money. Brothers, let's report you."

The comments section was filled with fierce chatter, but also brimming with various small gifts!

"Oh no, I clicked the wrong button! How did I end up giving this jerk a gift? Give me a refund right now, I'm a minor!"

After interacting with the comments for a while, Ye Fan said:

"Alright, the streamer is about to start the tutorial. Everyone, watch and learn carefully. What team composition would you like to see this time?"

"Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

"Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

The comments section was filled with Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Okay, let's play a game with Piltover Tyrannosaurus Rex."

[Player Ruanruan gifted 1 Super Rocket]

A golden light curtain swept across.

"Wow! Golden Legend! It's Soft Boss's Super Rocket!"

Thanks to Soft Boss for this "atmosphere" maneuver! With this rocket launch, I feel like I'm guaranteed to get three-star characters in my next gacha pull, and my winning streak is about to reach its maximum!

The boss is not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but also incredibly generous. We absolutely have to arrange some special background music for her!

After saying that, Ye Fan brought up the media player, selected a song, and started playing it.

Good luck, best of luck...

Wishing our Soft Boss a prosperous and successful life, where everything she does is top-notch.

Wealth flows in from every doorway, and good fortune is overflowing!

I also hope that all the brothers and sisters in our live stream will benefit from this.

No bad gacha pulls, smooth ranking up, top-tier performance in ranked matches, and smiles every day!

Brothers, let's type "Greedy Boss!" in the chat!

On the other side, a female anchor dressed in Lolita fashion watched the silly thank-you message on the screen and covered her mouth, laughing so hard she almost fell over.

She stretched out her fair fingers and typed rapidly on the keyboard.

"Hey streamer, wanna duo queue?"

Ye Fan was stunned for a moment when he saw the golden bullet comments on the screen.

You little softie, I never expected you to have such thick eyebrows and big eyes. I was wondering why you were so kind as to send me Super Fire, turns out you wanted me to help you rank up!

You think you can bribe me with just one super-hot ad?

Whom do you look down on? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would bow down for five pecks of rice?

Ye Fan pursed his lips and decisively said, "Okay!"

I won't bow down for five pecks of rice, but being super popular is more than just five pecks of rice!

Ye Fan decisively left the matchmaking and started a new room.

I searched for the account that the software sent me via private message and added it as a friend.

Soon, a little hero named Immortal Wings Kayle entered the room.

"Alright, guys, let's get started."

Ye Fan clicked "Start Matching".

then……

"Ruanruan, your account is only Gold, we can't queue for you!"

Ye Fan said speechlessly.
