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

Putting away his phone, Ye Fan walked straight towards the back gate of the school without any hesitation.

The competition had just ended, but students could still be seen everywhere on campus discussing the Genting tournament.

The controversy surrounding his four-star Rock Treasure and unlimited gold coins continues to escalate on the forum.

Some accused him of cheating, while others remained skeptical, all waiting for the final investigation results from the event organizing committee.

Ye Fan didn't care at all.

He was talking about the true mechanics of Teamfight Tactics from his previous life. As long as the organizing committee verifies what he said, the truth will naturally come to light.

In just over ten minutes, Ye Fan arrived at the back gate of the school.

Unlike the bustling main gate, this place is exceptionally quiet. A row of camphor trees line the roadside, their lush foliage blocking out much of the sunlight.

At first glance, you can see a slender figure sitting on a stone bench by the passageway, with a cup of milk tea held steadily in front of her chest without her needing to hold it or letting it slip.

The girl was wearing a simple white hooded sweatshirt with two long bunny ears drooping down on the hood, making her look soft, cute, and adorable.

She slowly sipped her milk tea while fiddling with her phone.

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow and silently sighed in his heart: These conditions are a bit too outrageous.

He stepped forward and asked, "Did you look for me?"

Upon hearing this, the girl abruptly raised her head, meeting Ye Fan's gaze. His tall, upright figure perfectly blocked the sunlight from his head, making him appear clean and dazzling.

Wen Ruan's cheeks flushed instantly. She quickly put away her phone, reached down to take the milk tea from her chest, and then stood up.

"It's me. Ye Fan, right? My name is Wen Ruan, a freshman majoring in Economics and Management. It's nice to meet you."

She extended her right hand to Ye Fan, her fingertips delicate and slender.

Ye Fan gently squeezed the tip of her hand before politely releasing it: "Hello, I'm Ye Fan. I never expected that the top-ranked customer of my live stream, 'Ruan Ruan,' would be a junior from our school."

Wen Ruan froze instantly, her eyes wide with surprise: "You...how did you know it was me?"

Ye Fan was a little helpless. Was it really that hard to guess?

With his highly recognizable loli voice, it's clear he's the streamer Fan Chen, and his name is Wen Ruan—with all these clues piled up, what else is there to think about?

He glanced at the towering peak without making a sound, silently adding to himself: No wonder he was a beat slow; he'd been putting all his points into the wrong places.

Seeing Wen Ruan's bewildered expression and flushed cheeks, Ye Fan ultimately refrained from uttering his teasing, only raising an eyebrow slightly.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wenruan became more and more flustered. Her little hands unconsciously clenched the milk tea cup, and her soft, sweet voice was full of anxiety.

"Um... I called you to ask if you could teach me how to play games?"

"Haven't I been teaching you all along?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled.

Didn't I play games with her for several hours in the live stream yesterday?

"I mean, could you teach me personally?"

"Huh?" Ye Fan was stunned.

Was it the kind of close companion he understood?

He glanced at the towering peak without making a sound, silently adding to himself: No wonder he was slow to react; he must have put all his points into the wrong places.

Seeing Wen Ruan's bewildered and blushing expression, Ye Fan ultimately refrained from uttering his teasing, only raising an eyebrow slightly.

He glanced at it again discreetly, and thought, "Hmm, if that's the case, it's not necessarily a bad thing."

Wen Ruan then realized the grammatical error in her words, and blushed deeply with embarrassment, even the bunny ears on her hoodie seemed to droop down:

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I meant, could you teach me in person? After all, we've only done it online before, and even then, only in a live stream. There are many times when I'm too embarrassed to ask questions."

Oh, it was a misunderstanding. Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief, instantly suppressing his chaotic thoughts.

"Besides, the game you taught me to play before was 'Gong Xi Fa Cai,' which is fine for occasional fun. I want to learn how to operate it from you."

"Okay, but there are a lot of hidden cards to unlock this season. Do you know which ones they are?"

Wen Ruan shook her head, still confused.

She had watched Ye Fan play several games, and she had never seen many of the chess pieces before.

I asked my friends, and basically no one knew the answer.

"Well, this is a bit tricky."

Ye Fan reached out and stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Wenruan stayed quietly and didn't disturb him.

After a while, Ye Fan said, "Okay, I'll put together a strategy guide for you later. First, familiarize yourself with these pieces and how to unlock them. Once you've mastered that, I'll teach you the specific operational strategies."

She nodded gently and obediently.

"Are you still gold now?" Ye Fan suddenly asked.

"Yeah, I just can't get up there."

"Then I'll teach you the simplest and most straightforward gambler lineup. It requires absolutely no management, and its strength is just as good."

"What lineup?" Wen Ruan's eyes lit up. The lineup developed by Fan Chen must be ridiculously strong.

"Bard the Fighter. Don't worry about anything else, just grab the Fighter Card and Bard, plus Aphelios."

"Is it the same lineup you used in the second game?" Wen Ruan recalled the lineup Ye Fan used to get second place.

"Yes. It's simple and requires no brainpower, making it a reliable way to climb the ranks. The only thing to watch out for is to roll four times before the first four drafts to unlock Bard."

"Okay, I've got it. I'll try it when I get home tonight."

After discussing the lineup, Ye Fan scratched his head, unsure of what to say. An awkward silence fell between them.

"Well, it's getting late, I have to go back," she said softly after a while.

"Oh? Okay, then I'll take you."

"Um."

After dropping Wen Ruan off in a taxi outside the residential complex, Ye Fan said, "Go inside, I'm going home now."

"Okay. Good luck with the knockout stage tomorrow."

Ye Fan nodded and was about to turn around when Wen Ruan suddenly spoke:

"Um... is anyone else besides me aware that you're involved in mortal affairs?"

Ye Fan was taken aback, then shook his head: "No."

Hearing this, Wenruan felt a surge of joy. It was as if a little secret had been revealed between them, known only to the two of them.

"Then I promise I'll keep it a secret."

Ye Fan smiled and didn't say anything more. Whether it was kept secret or not didn't really matter; he was just being low-key, not deliberately trying to hide anything.

Chong Wenruan waved her hand, and Ye Fan turned and got into a taxi.

Watching the car disappear into the distance, Wen Ruan stared blankly into space. After a while, she snapped out of her reverie, clenched her small fists, and ran quickly back to her apartment complex.

She needs to quickly use the lineup Ye Fan taught her to climb the ranks.

When she goes live next time, she's going to dazzle all the viewers in the chat!

As soon as Ye Fan got home, his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was a notice from the school.

"[Announcement]: In light of recent reports regarding abnormal data observed in player number 037, Ye Fan, during the competition, the tournament organizing committee has taken this matter very seriously and has conducted a rigorous review in conjunction with game technical staff.
