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

As we were talking, the game finished loading and we officially entered the battle phase.

The hero given to him by the system at the start of the game is Illaoi. Ye Fan lightly tapped the mouse and casually dragged the burly Illaoi onto the field.

Prepare to face the first wave of monsters; the entire movement is fluid and seamless, without the slightest hesitation.

"Brothers, watch closely. There are countless strategies for playing Teamfight Tactics, but they all boil down to one thing." He explained to the live stream viewers in a fast-paced and down-to-earth manner while watching the monster battle. "In the end, it all boils down to one core: get strong cards in the early game, then build synergies around those strong cards to smoothly transition to the late game."

If you're skilled at managing your team, you can use many different lineups as a transitional strategy.

The best front-line unit is the fighter.

Additionally, once you enter the game, you can check which route the Ionia shop is on. If it's the Path of Enlightenment or the Path of Prosperity, you can use Ionia as a transition.

Of course, if you find it troublesome or are not familiar with the operation, you can follow the formula I just mentioned.

At the start of the game, check if there are any Yordles or Bilgewater; if so, play them.

If not, play Demacia.

We started with Illaoi, let's see if the shop refreshes with new cards later. If it does, we'll play Bilgewater.

The first wave of jungle monsters was cleared quickly.

I got a recurve bow and 3 gold coins.

The shop refreshed, and Ye Fan decisively bought a card.

"Guys, the cards are here, the strategy is clear now. Let's go to Bilgewater."

Ye Fan threw the recurve bow at the card and then said.

To play Bilgewater, you need to unlock Graves, and the prerequisite for unlocking Graves is to equip the card with two items.

We don't have much equipment right now, so let's just use what we have for now. We'll combine any usable equipment later and put it on the card to unlock Graves sooner.

This way, the Bilgewater shop will open sooner, and I can farm money faster.

Ye Fan stared at the lineup on the field, his fingertips lightly tapping on the mouse, his eyes focused, laying out his strategy step by step, his entire process clear and his explanation easy to understand.

Viewers in the live stream were busy taking notes, completely immersed in this valuable tutorial, with no irrelevant noise whatsoever.

But only Ye Fan himself knew that although he seemed to be concentrating, his thoughts would always drift away uncontrollably—the soft touch of her tiptoeing up to kiss him in the arcade, the way she blushed and lightly punched him with her fists, would always suddenly pop into his mind, making his fingertips pause slightly and his eyes dim for a moment.

Sharp-eyed viewers immediately seized on this moment of distraction and started teasing: "The streamer's spacing out again! Something's on his mind, isn't it!"

Ye Fan didn't even lift his eyelids, calmly changing the subject: "Focus on the game, stop talking nonsense."

He initially thought the match would be easy and he could finish it quickly, but after a few rounds, his expression suddenly darkened.

Suddenly, a player with an incredible Bilgewater start appeared on the field. The opponent reached level 7 with a 3-1 lead, had better equipment, had accumulated far more Silver Serpents than the average player, and was completing their build at an absurdly fast pace.

In their first matchup, Ye Fan's lineup was completely crushed. His front line was instantly destroyed, and before the female gunner could deal full damage, she was wiped out by the opponent, losing nearly half of her health and dropping from a healthy level to a dangerous level.

The live stream chat exploded instantly; the comments section, which had been quietly taking notes just moments before, erupted in a frenzy.

"Holy crap! I've run into a real tough guy! This competitor is incredibly ruthless!"

"The streamer's about to mess up! This game's going to be a disaster!"

"A practical tutorial turned into a disaster? Highly recommend 'Teamfight Tactics: You Teach Techniques, You Perform Magic?' Click to enter the story world. Save the day!"

Ye Fan's languid demeanor vanished completely, his eyes instantly sharpening as he entered a tense battle state. His fingertips moved with lightning speed, executing precise maneuvers while simultaneously providing commentary to the audience, sharing valuable tips on how to handle adversity:

"Watch closely, this is the most extreme situation in the Bilgewater Civil War: a player gets a perfect start and is immediately crushed in the early game."

"Don't panic in times like this, and don't waste your silver snake coins. Choosing which black market equipment to use is more important than ever."

"Brothers, I forgot to mention, we only buy attack speed items on the black market. We won't buy other items like heroes and small replicas unless we're short on cash."

"The Captain's Brew, like the item in Bilgewater 3, is optional. You can buy it as a temporary measure if you're under a lot of pressure in the early game, but I don't recommend buying it if you're not under much pressure."

"We're currently at 5 Bilgewater, with higher gear levels. But we'll only buy the Lucky Coin. This way, we'll get more Silver Serpent Coins and snowball faster."

"When we get to Bilgewater 7, we'll only buy three items: citrus, brass knuckles, and flintlock pistols. And we'll only buy one of each, and we won't touch anything else."

He strictly adhered to the black market consumption principle, not wasting a single silver snake coin, and used all his resources to attract population and build synergies. With precise positioning adjustments, he managed to stabilize his health and prevent his opponents from taking heavy damage.

The viewers in the live stream were glued to the screen, their hearts pounding in their chests, following the plot's twists and turns the entire time, and had no time to think about making jokes.

Through meticulous operational choices, Ye Fan finally managed to get Tamm in stage 3-7. Then, after two more shop refreshes, he got Captain!

7. Bilgewater, fully formed!

Tahm Kench, who was fed early on, already had considerable stats. With the addition of tangerines and knuckle dusters bought from the black market, the front line became an impenetrable wall. Miss Fortune, equipped with Lucky Coin, was unparalleled in her speed of clearing Silver Serpent Coins, and the strength of the lineup underwent a qualitative change.

Once again facing that same opponent with a perfect hand, the battle situation was completely reversed!

The opponent's damage output couldn't even scratch Ye Fan's front line. The female gunner's barrage covered the entire field, directly shattering the opponent's lineup and completing a perfect revenge.

From then on, they went on a winning streak without any obstacles, easily securing a 5-1 victory and reaching the top.

"See? There were no lucky draws throughout the entire game; it all came down to the strategic choices made by the operations team."

The screen was flooded with virtual gifts, creating a lively and exciting atmosphere.

Ye Fan was about to start the next game to fulfill his promise and demonstrate Yordle gameplay.

My desktop phone suddenly vibrated slightly.

The screen lights up; the sender is Wenruan.

The message was simple and straightforward, both naive and restrained.

Are you free tomorrow? Come out with me.

It was just a simple invitation, nothing ambiguous, nothing inappropriate.

It perfectly reflects the awkward and delicate relationship the two are in now.

But just that one simple sentence instantly disrupted Ye Fan's entire state of mind.

His composure during the game and his restraint during the live broadcast vanished in an instant.

A barely perceptible tenderness flickered in his eyes; he had no intention of continuing the live stream.

He casually said to the camera, "Something came up, so I'm ending the broadcast early today."

After saying that, he decisively pressed the shortcut key to turn off the broadcast at lightning speed.

The live stream screen went black instantly, and the chat was filled with groans of despair.

In the quiet apartment, Ye Fan's gaze was fixed on the line of invitations.

He was incredibly curious.

The two people, whose relationship was still immature and reserved, where exactly did she want him to go with her?
