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

Ruanruan woke up feeling a little down this morning.

Last night, under Ye Fan's guidance, she won several chicken dinners in a row and felt incredibly strong.

So after Ye Fan ended his broadcast, she switched to S16 mode, preparing to secretly climb the ranks and amaze everyone.

Finally, he suffered three consecutive losses and was disgraced.

She didn't want to rank up or stream today, but then she remembered that it was the day of the college team selection, so she decided to go and watch the game.

She didn't go to the preliminary rounds because she felt that only the finals were interesting.

Upon arrival, the competition was about to begin, and information about each contestant was displayed on a large screen.

At the top of the list is Ye Fan's dazzling record of 10 consecutive wins.

"This Ye Fan is so amazing," Ruan Ruan murmured to herself.

"Wait a minute! This match history looks so familiar. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"

Ruan Ruan stared at the familiar battle records, lost in thought.

The game has already started on the field.

After the first wave of monsters was defeated, Ye Fan's team obtained a Milio.

"Is this an indication that I should play Ixtal?"

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Anyway, there are still two waves of monsters left, let's leave them for now."

The three waves of monsters were quickly defeated, and three pieces of equipment dropped.

A storm greatsword, a chainmail, and a negative cloak.

It's alright, not bad.

After defeating the jungle monsters, it's time to choose runes for enhancement.

All three runes were quite good, and for a moment, Ye Fan hesitated.

It's been upgraded; it now has nine lives and can move flexibly.

Upgrading will reduce the gold cost per upgrade from 4 to 3, significantly improving upgrade efficiency and allowing him to reach level nine sooner to obtain high-cost cards.

The effect of having nine lives is that the player's health points become nine, and each time they lose a match, they only lose one health point.

Moreover, you can receive a corresponding reward every time you lose a match.

The effect of Flexible Swing is to gain a random article and an additional emblem at the start of each phase. For each emblem equipped, all pieces gain an additional 40 health.

If you're looking for stability, upgrading is definitely the safest option, but in terms of potential, the latter two runes offer a slightly higher ceiling.

After thinking it over, Ye Fan decided to take the flexible swing.

What if you manage to gamble on the Ixtal emblem?

Even if he can't win by gambling, he can still play the Pinduoduo lineup.

After selecting the flexible swing, a magic ball jumps out of the chessboard.

As Ye Fan controlled the little river spirit to run over, he prayed in his heart, "Ixtal, Ixtal..."

The orb exploded, and a crest jumped out. It was a deep emerald green, shaped like a crystal leaf with sharp edges, and engraved with Ixtal's signature geometric runes in the center.

It is the coat of arms of Ixtal.

"pretty!"

Ye Fan clenched his fist tightly.

We've got the chicken.

Ye Fan sold off the other weaklings on the field, then casually clicked refresh twice, which brought up a Kiana and a Berelia.

Buy both pieces and place them on the board, then give Berea the Ixtal emblem.

3. Ixtal took his place.

3. Ixtal: Choose a quest to obtain fragments. Earn Sun Fragments by completing quests and exchange them for rewards.

The quest shop pops up.

The first task is to lose two consecutive player battles, and the reward is 50 fragments.

The second is to allow Ixtal to reach 100 armor in a single battle, rewarding him with 20 shards.

The third reward is 50 fragments for refreshing the shop 6 times.

Without hesitation, Ye Fan decisively chose to suffer two consecutive defeats.

After all, the quality of his pieces is not high right now, so losing streaks are still quite easy for him.

As for the other two tasks, forget about them.

After all, 100 armor is simply unattainable right now.

If he had enough gold coins, he would really like to choose the mission that refreshes 4 times, because it would unlock Bard.

But if he doesn't have enough money, there's nothing he can do. He can't wait two rounds to have enough money before he can spend more, can he?

After selecting the mission, I entered the battle. There's not much to say about his current skill level. He can't beat almost anyone, so he easily lost two matches in a row and completed the mission.

I obtained 50 fragments.

1-3, Task refresh.

Refresh the shop 6 times to receive 50 fragments.

A 2-star Neeko will appear, rewarding you with 50 shards.

Kiana participated in 3 kills and was rewarded with 20 fragments.

There was no other choice but to refresh the task.

This is a good opportunity to unlock Bard.

Bard's unlocking task is to refresh the shop four times before the draft.

The shop refreshes automatically at the start of each round.

So now he only needs to manually refresh twice.

So Ye Fan clicked refresh twice.

Bard unlocked.

Ye Fan bought it and upgraded his level to four, then put Bard on the field.

Bard's passive effect grants him an extra unit for each victory, prioritizing units already on the board. (This example uses Bard at the start of the game.)

If you lose a battle, you will receive additional free refreshes, with the number of refreshes increasing as the stage progresses.

His active effect is also very powerful, launching 6 Wood Spirits. For every additional three-star piece on the field, one Wood Spirit will be added.

It can be said that he is the main force that can stabilize the health of the enemy in the mid-game.

At this point, Ye Fan only had 11 yuan left, so he chose to stop and did not continue to complete the refresh task.

He still couldn't beat Ye Fan this round, suffering three consecutive losses and entering the draft stage.

Ye Fan only had 86 health points left, the lowest in the entire game, so he was the first to be released in the draft.

He ran out quickly and grabbed a three-cost card with the Goddess's Tear.

Seeing Ye Fan's extremely low health on the big screen, the audience couldn't help but discuss it amongst themselves.

"Is this Ye Fan? The one who got ten consecutive wins?"

"Yeah, it's the one who pulled out the hidden 10 Yordle synergy in yesterday's qualifiers."

"How come you've gotten such a bad diaper rash after just one day? This won't do!"

"It's just luck, they're exaggerating it to the skies. I told you so, here we go, their true colors have been revealed."

Ruan Ruan sat in the stands and frowned as she heard the people around her talking.

She looked at Xiao Heling on the big screen, bouncing and dragging the selection chess pieces back, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

She felt like something was off.

She didn't think that having low health meant being bad, after all, she had personally witnessed the operation of an empty city in Fanchen's live stream.

That's a top-tier player who achieved Master rank with 25 consecutive chicken dinners.

Although we don't know Ye Fan's true skill level, since he managed to get ten consecutive wins, he must be pretty good.

The current low blood volume is definitely intentional.

But she felt that this operational approach was very familiar.

Ye Fan was unaware of the discussions taking place in the stands.

After returning to the chessboard, Ye Fan sold the chess pieces he obtained from the draft, then combined them into a Green Dragon Blade and threw it at Bard.

There's an automatic refresh at the start of each round, and since he just lost, Bard gave him a free refresh. He only needs to refresh twice more to complete the mission.

He first used up the free refresh and a Qiyana appeared in the shop, which Ye Fan promptly bought.

Kiana, 2 stars!

In the audience, Ruan Ruan had already quietly taken out her phone, watching Ye Fan's actions on the big screen.

He compared the results and operational rhythm of Fanchen's live stream that he had captured last night with his own.

The more she compared, the faster her heart pounded.

Layout, rhythm, task selection, refresh timing, controlling losing streaks...

Almost exactly the same.

Her fingers tightened slightly, her eyes filled with shock and uncertainty.

"Is it you... Mortal World?"

As if sensing something, Ye Fan suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze passing through the crowd in the arena and calmly looking towards the audience.

Ruan Ruan's heart skipped a beat.

Their eyes met briefly across the distance.
