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

"The game continues!"

Suppressing the dissent, the captain took a deep breath and refocused his gaze on the big screen.

Protecting Ye Fan stemmed not only from considerations of maintaining fairness in the competition, but also from a growing premonition in his heart—this was definitely not a bug.

This should be a hidden mechanism deeply embedded in the game's underlying logic, just like the "Ten Yordle Prism Bond" that appeared in the previous game.

If that's the case, then this young man named Ye Fan has reached a certain level of "enlightenment" in his understanding of this game, and he is practically destined to be an "Emperor"!

Such talent must be recruited into the school team at all costs.

……

Ye Fan was unaware that his actions had almost resulted in a ban. Now, with nearly unlimited gold coins in his hands, he began this performance that was almost a "miracle".

His fingers flew across the keyboard, and the store interface was refreshed at an extremely high frequency.

With each refresh, dozens of chess piece icons flash by like a fleeting glimpse, leaving the interface barely a frame to pause.

The audience below the stage were stunned and looked completely bewildered.

"What is he doing? He's scrolling so fast, why isn't he buying a single piece?"

"Who knows? Maybe they have too much money to burn and are just showing off?"

However, after more than twenty rounds of this seemingly random and frantic scrolling, Ye Fan's fingers suddenly stopped.

A specific piece is instantly locked and purchased.

Immediately afterwards, the refresh did not stop, but the pace became even faster. During this time, he would occasionally make a move, accurately grabbing a few specific pieces.

The dazzling frequency of the jumps left most of the contestants breathless.

"Won't you miss crucial cards if you play so fast?"

"I didn't even see the shop clearly before he bought the chess pieces... his reaction speed is incredible..."

"Is this really human hand speed? You probably couldn't do that without being single for at least twenty years."

"Perhaps... this is the world of masters."

Everyone was shocked and increasingly unable to understand Ye Fan's intentions. All eyes were focused on his chessboard.

As Ye Fan refreshed the screen, chess pieces appeared one by one on the preparation table.

Finally, the first 3-star 5-cost unit is in place!

Samsung Rock Treasure!

The gacha game is still ongoing.

Samsung Kindred, Samsung Lucian Senna, Samsung Azir, Samsung Zilean...

In just twenty seconds, Ye Fan upgraded all the regular five-cost cards on the market to three stars!

Aside from Aatrox and Volibear, two champions with relatively low unlocking thresholds, he didn't choose to unlock any other five-cost cards—this was to control the champion pool.

After all, the more five-cost cards you have, the lower the chance of getting three identical three-star five-cost cards when you collect resources later.

A total of 13 three-star, five-cost cards (including Annie's Bear) were crammed into the small chessboard, turning the entire battlefield into a dazzling gold.

The audience, who were initially skeptical, suddenly erupted in uproar.

"Holy crap, what am I seeing? Eight Emperors in a Standoff? It's the legendary Eight Emperors in a Standoff! I never thought I'd encounter this in my lifetime, especially during the school team selection trials."

"What do you mean by 'eight emperors standing in a tripartite balance'? Look closely, there are thirteen emperors!"

"But... are there really that many five-cost cards in Teamfight Tactics?"

"Why not? Including Annie's bear, there are a total of 9 cards. There are also some hidden cards. For example, Ye Fan's Ziggs from the last game, and the others from this game, are all hidden cards."

"Yes, yes, yes, that seems to be the case. I saw a streamer named 'Fanchen' say that there are indeed many hidden cards this season. He unlocked Tyrannosaurus Rex and Dragon King."

"You watch Fanchen too? Me too. This streamer is really amazing. I personally witnessed him get to Master rank with 25 consecutive wins on a brand new Iron account in just seven hours. I was absolutely blown away."

"Yes, some professional players have analyzed that he is likely a top player from a certain team playing on a smurf account. It's a pity that he doesn't show his face during his streams, so we can't see the real face of this pro player."

"Speaking of Ye Fan, he's really powerful too. Who do you think is stronger, him or that Fan Chen?"

"Is there even a question? It's definitely Fan Chen. He's a top-tier professional player; he reached Master rank with a 25-game winning streak. Ye Fan is strong too, but he's just a school team player after all."

"But Ye Fan also got ten consecutive wins." Someone disagreed.

"How can that be the same? The longer the winning streak goes, the harder it gets," the man complained. "I admit Ye Fan is very strong, but what gives him the right to try and take advantage of Fan Chen?"

Ye Fan had no idea that he was already arguing with "himself" in the audience.

The game has now ended.

His opponent was the same "gunfight" style that had mocked him before.

The base damage of the Stage 6 Little Legends is extremely high, and with a full population of 13, this wave directly reduced the opponent's health by 26.

The opponent's health instantly dropped to single digits, putting them in grave danger.

After winning, Ye Fan controlled his little river spirit to circle around the opponent's little hero, while displaying a "weak as a board" expression.

The opponent was already under immense pressure from the Blood Injection, and then Ye Fan's "Flying Dragon Rides in the Face" made him tremble with rage, his face turning bright red.

He looked up and glared fiercely at Ye Fan.

The director was very knowledgeable; the camera instantly captured the moment, showing a close-up of the contestant breaking down in front of all the viewers.

Ye Fan glanced up at the big screen, shrugged indifferently, and thought to himself, "I hope this guy doesn't get so angry that he'll gank me offline?"

The match ended, and the fragments reached 1120, resulting in the 7 Ixtal reward.

Ye Fan picked it up; it was a 3-star Rock Treasure.

"pretty!"

Ye Fan was overjoyed.

He already has two 3-star Rock Treasures, and he only needs to get one more to synthesize a 4-star Mega Rock Treasure!

Reaching floor 1200 will also give you two 3-star, 5-cost units, plus the cost of actively collecting resources, making a total of four.

The reward will only be given to those that have been unlocked. He currently has 12 types, with a 1/4 chance of getting a Rock Treasure.

The probability is not low.

After randomly selecting a task that required 16 refreshes and completing it, Ye Fan entered stage 6-2.

The second-to-last opponent we encountered in this round had only 21 health points left.

(He was reduced to near-death in the previous gunfight, making him the last place finisher, and the original last place finisher took his place.)

The opponent's quality was already poor, and then they encountered a monster like Ye Fan, so they were directly wiped out in one wave, and became number eight!

The match ended, and the fragments instantly filled up.

The final orb revealed a three-star Zilean and a three-star Kindred.

No Rock Treasure appeared.

Ye Fan didn't even frown, and directly clicked to collect the crops!

A flash of golden light! A system notification sounded throughout the venue—

[Obtained: 3-star Rock Treasure]

"They're here!"

Ye Fan gave a low shout.

In an instant, a sickeningly loud sound of energy gathering rang out.

Three golden 3-star Rock Treasures overlap and merge on the chessboard!

The lights and shadows in the entire competition hall seemed to dim for a moment, and a four-star giant rock treasure, so huge that it almost occupied half of the chessboard and whose body was covered with dark golden light, suddenly descended!

A massive shadow loomed over the opponent's chessboard. The unfortunate player, who had just been bloodied, stared at the colossal golden beast on the screen, his hand almost crushing the mouse in his hand.

Four-star Rock Treasure, ready!

(The equipment isn't quite right, but I'll have to make do.)
