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

Not having enough money, Ye Fan had no choice but to lock the store.

I casually bought Maokai to put on the field, giving Tahm Kench the two-Brawler synergy.

Winning is the best outcome, but even if you can't win, you'll at least lose less health.

"The strategy now is simple: we must maintain our winning streak. Do you know why? Type 1 if you do, 2 if you don't."

"22222..."

The comments were all filled with "2".

"It seems that none of you understand, so let me explain it to you."

Everyone is familiar with the Three Lucky Stars, but you can only rely on a losing streak. Because the rewards from the Three Lucky Stars are small, the higher the losing streak, the better the items you get.

Here's the tricky part – should we increase our combat strength or not?

If you increase your combat strength and manage to win against a weak team, all the previous losing streaks will be for nothing.

If you don't increase your combat power, you'll lose health rapidly and might die before you even get to harvest resources. Many people have probably fallen into this trap.

But the Six Lucky Stars are different; their winning streak offers better value for money.

Six Fortune grants an extra orb for each round of victory, with a chance to unlock a Spatula and a Hero Replicator—the benefits are on a completely different level.

The screen was flooded with comments.

"I see, I've learned something new."

"I love this live stream. The streamer is genuinely teaching, and the viewers are so friendly. I love it here."

In the team voice chat, Ruanruan was full of admiration: "Wow, you know so much. No wonder you were able to reach Master with a 25-game winning streak. You're amazing."

The soft, sweet voice and undisguised adoration greatly satisfied Ye Fan's vanity.

Even though he knew that Ruan Ruan was probably just trying to flatter him, he still couldn't help but straighten his back.

"No wonder so many people in my past life liked to hire female companions when playing games..." Ye Fan thought to himself.

He couldn't understand it before; the female companion's skills weren't good, so wouldn't having her by his side just make things more difficult for him?

Only now do I realize that I was narrow-minded.

Who wouldn't want a cute girl next to them cheering them on with admiration when they're showing off their skills?

The match ended 2-1. The opponent's lineup was weak, and they didn't even have a Chosen One. Ye Fan won easily.

With the score at 2-2 and enough money in hand, Ye Fan bought the previously locked-in Lucky Star Carter and replaced Maokai.

The Six Lucky Stars, take your positions!

When the Six Lucky Stars synergy is activated, it triggers a map-wide notification. Upon seeing this, the other players all rushed to Ye Fan's chessboard to watch.

When they discovered that Ye Fan had managed to gather six Lucky Stars with just four population in stage 2-2, they were stunned.

The public chat was filled with question marks.

Some even manipulated Little Gwen to rush to Ye Fan's little river spirit, grabbing scissors and slashing at it fiercely. Judging from their posture, they were so angry that they wanted to cut his little hero to pieces.

The opponent in this round is Ruan Ruan.

Her lineup is actually quite good: two-star Chosen Fighter Tahm Kench, two-star Maokai, and one-star Vi.

She did not choose to upgrade the population and remained at three population.

"Are you trying to pursue Samsung Tahm Kench?" Ye Fan asked.

"Yeah, I heard that the three-star Tahm Kench is very tanky, and Tahm Kench's 'Lucky Wife' effect makes him drop gold coins when he takes damage!" Ruan Ruan replied.

"That's true, but you're not hurting anyone."

"I can wait until Tahm Kench is three stars before leveling up my population, and then I can try to get a three-star Nunu!"

Ye Fan nodded.

There's nothing wrong with this line of thinking.

Samsung Nunu is very strong. In the late game, with six fighters and six Eternal Forest, he is indeed both tanky and deals damage, making him almost unkillable.

But if it were him, he would never do that.

No need.

The improvement of a three-star Tahm Kench is very limited; a two-star Tahm Kench is perfectly adequate.

Moreover, because Tahm Kench is strong in the early game, many players use him as a transitional character, making it difficult to get him to three stars.

If you spend too much money and time chasing Tahm Kench in the early stages, it will be difficult to get a three-star Nunu later.

Ye Fan reminded him, "You don't need to chase a three-star unit; a two-star is enough. Save your money to upgrade. Once you reach level seven, sell your Chosen Tahm Kench and find a Chosen Nunu. That way, it'll be easier to get a three-star unit, and you can reach level nine sooner to pull Sett."

"Oh, is that so? Okay then, I'll do as you say." Ruan Ruan nodded obediently.

As they were talking, the battle began.

Carter jumped straight towards the opposing back row, only to find it empty, and had to turn back dejectedly. By this time, the front rows of both sides were already locked in combat.

Ye Fan's Tahm Kench wore a Sunfire Cape, while the soft Tahm Kench was even tankier, equipped with Gargoyle Stoneplate and a Needlessly Large Rod.

The two Tahm Kenches engaged in a fierce fight, sticking out their tongues and entangled in a battle where neither could really hurt the other, and both were slowly losing health.

However, Ruanruan has the four-fighter synergy, so her health is higher, and Ye Fan's pieces lose health faster.

Darius raised his axe and cleaved Tahm Kench, only scraping off a thin layer of health. Before he could even unleash his second skill, Maokai's shockwave cleaved him from his horse.

Annie seized the opportunity to activate her skill, casting a thick white shield around herself. However, as soon as the shield disappeared, she still couldn't dodge Maokai's palm strike and was killed on the spot.

Just then, Carter's blue bar was full.

She stood on one leg, gripping a dagger tightly in both hands, and spun around in place.

A series of powerful attacks landed, instantly killing a one-star Vi and even causing a two-star Maokai to lose half his health.

Tahm Kench truly lives up to his reputation as the tankiest unit in the early game; he took a full-power ultimate from Katarina and only lost a third of his health.

At this point, both sides had only two pieces left, and Ye Fan's side clearly had the advantage.

After all, three-cost cards are inherently stronger than one-cost cards, especially when they are chosen pieces.

In the end, all of Softie's pieces fell under Carter's windmill.

"We lost! It's not fair! Why do you get a two-star Katarina?!"

Ye Fan shrugged; he also wanted to know why.

At point 2-3, Ye Fan picked up the Six Lucky Star Orb and opened it again, revealing six gold coins.

With the gold coins from the previous round, he now has 25 gold coins in hand, completely making up for the money he spent on card draws.

"Our economy is back to normal. Two-star Katarina is very strong; we're basically guaranteed to win until the end of Stage 3, and we can get at least four more Orbs. With a bit of luck, we might even get a Spatula or a Hero Replicator. Brothers, lend me your lifespan, let's go!"

Ye Fan smiled at the comments section.

"???"

"What did you say, you dog-like streamer?"

"You're the one borrowing lifespan!"

The live chat instantly buzzed with comments, all criticizing Ye Fan.

"Heh, these little cuties are pretty arrogant. Alright, let's go for it!"

Watching Ye Fan banter with his fans, Ruan Ruan chuckled to herself, a hint of envy in her eyes.

She wouldn't dare to argue with viewers in the live stream like Ye Fan does. She can only coax and deceive them in a soft voice each time. If her tone is even slightly impatient, a large number of fans will unfollow her.

"Is this the charisma of a master?" Ruan Ruan murmured to herself.

Unfortunately, she could only admire it, but could not learn it.

She knew in her heart that she was just an entertainment streamer, and her viewers were there to watch her act cute and charming. If it were really about skill, who would stay in her stream?

Because she simply doesn't have that kind of hard power.
