Chapter 16

Jiang Mingzhe spoke with absolute certainty, and Shao Youyou couldn't help but hold her breath, focusing her attention on the screen in Leng Zhi's hand.

Five fluffy little heads surrounded Leng Zhi completely.

The production team didn't expect that the large dormitory would turn into a scene of children huddled around a mobile phone.

Left with no other option, the photography team had to position the main camera at the screen in Leng Zhi's hand, while the other cameras broadcasted the children's reactions.

For a moment, the layout of the live stream resembled an e-sports broadcast, with the game screen in the middle and the tense expressions of the five players (Zai Zai) on both sides.

[Just joined the live stream, asking questions: Is this an esports channel or a variety show channel?]

[Why do the kids seem even more nervous than Leng Zhi?]

[The five little figures lined up in a row are so cute!]

At this point, all three outer towers had been taken down by the opposing team, and the jungle was no longer safe.

Leng Zhi did not choose to confront the opponent head-on.

As if he knew the enemy's location perfectly, he skillfully avoided their attack points and farmed gold like crazy in dangerous corners that were just out of the way.

Shao Youyou scratched her head, looking a little confused.

In her mind, the game "Diyao" is either about fighting or on the way to fighting.

Instead of looking at everyone, Leng Zhi avoided them all, not even glancing at the two sides fighting nearby.

She muttered, "This is even worse than me. I haven't hit anyone with a single skill yet."

Leng Zhi ignored her.

Because it's time to close the net.

Daji was lurking in the bushes in the middle lane, waiting for her prey to arrive.

The variety show instantly turned into an e-sports live stream, attracting many e-sports streamers to broadcast it, and the live stream room was flooded with a large number of Di Yao players.

The esports expert started giving his opinions.

[Is this guest playing a snake-like character? Playing Daji just to farm money?]

[I don't understand, why aren't they participating in these three-minute group chats?]

[Who can be ambushed in this bush? The enemy team is grouping up to push mid.]

[My home is about to be gone...]

As predicted by the viewers, the enemy team was indeed preparing to group up and initiate a team fight in the mid lane. They knew very well that as long as they won this team fight, they could push the minion wave straight to the enemy's stronghold and win the game.

Just then, Zhen Ji, the mid-laner from the opposing team, appeared in Daji's field of vision.

Zhen Ji was focused on getting to the side road and had no idea that someone was crouching in the bushes.

In an instant, Daji activated her skill.

As the heart-shaped effect of the skill flashed, Zhen Ji's portrait turned gray.

You have defeated your opponent, Zhen Ji.

This was Daji's first kill of the game, and Shao Youyou couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim, "Wow!"

Leng Zhi landed a hit and immediately bypassed the bushes, disappearing into the lower half of the jungle, while also sending a "Request to Gather" signal.

[Huh? They can kill someone like that?]

[I can't believe he actually managed to catch me.]

[This was purely pure luck, wasn't it?]

[The invincible Zhen Ji actually came back to give one...]

Just like Shaoyouyou's love of fighting everywhere, many players in this rank have their own little habits. Some like to ambush in bushes, some like to team up, and some just focus on farming gold...

This Zhen Ji player likes to push lanes.

Leng Zhi observed that as long as the enemy's minion wave crosses the river and no one comes to clear it, Zhen Ji will travel a long distance to push the lane, even if her teammates are about to engage in a team fight.

So after he pushed the minion wave into the enemy's territory, he waited in the mid lane for his prey to come to him—everything was calculated.

After Zhen Ji's death, the balance of power on the field immediately shifted.

In the mid-to-late game, the resurrection time of heroes will also be longer. Including the travel time, Zhen Ji will need two minutes to return to the front line battlefield.

It's now four against five, we have a great chance.

The remaining four opponents were complacent with their earlier advantage and didn't want to drag things out any longer.

Unbeknownst to them, Daji had quietly moved to a spot not far out of their sight.

The opposing team couldn't hold back any longer. Lian Po, the hero on the side lane, judged that our marksman was positioned too far forward and immediately used Flash to initiate a team fight.

[Enemy Daji kills teammate Hou Yi]

[Lian Po: ???]

My marksman is dead? My marksman is dead?

He thought he had initiated a good team fight and was about to call on his teammates to launch an attack when his own marksman suddenly vanished.

Hou Yi felt wronged.

[Hou Yi: Is no one protecting the archer?]

[Hou Yi: Daji suddenly appeared and killed me instantly, and no one shared the damage with me!]

[Hou Yi: Why are you all rushing to the front?]

[Hou Yi: Crying.jpg]

[Enemy Daji kills teammate Lanling King]

[The opponent's Daji gets a double kill!]

[The enemy, Daji, is wreaking havoc.]

The Lian Po player cursed under his breath.

[Lian Po: Smiling.jpg]

Lanling Wang was also very aggrieved.

[Lanling King: I'm following you to take down the enemy marksman, I'm out of skills]

[Lanling King: Why is nobody doing anything about Daji?]

Daji's skill set makes her a perfect hero for ambushes. Leng Zhi took advantage of the enemy's momentary distraction to eliminate three of their damage dealers, leading to the enemy team's utter defeat in the team fight.

[In-team] Daji: Start the Dragon

[[In-team] Daji: Speed]

Anyone with eyes could see whose credit this team fight was, and none of the teammates objected; they all followed Daji to the dragon pit.

The Baron is a neutral monster in the game. It has a very high health bar and takes some time to kill, but it also grants a lot of experience and team buffs.

If both sides were still alive, the fight for Baron Nashor would usually turn into a team fight. But now that the opposing team is almost entirely wiped out, it's the perfect opportunity to start Baron Nashor.

The balance of power has been completely reversed.

The next two team fights were even more one-sided victories. Daji was like a ghost, always appearing in unexpected places on the other side, quietly taking down their marksman and mage, making her impossible to defend against.

Congratulations on winning this game!

Leng Zhi shoved the phone into Shao Youyou's hand: "Take it."

He actually wanted to say, "If you're bad at it, practice more."

But looking at this little sister who was less than half his height, he softened his words:

"Play less. Don't be afraid of your teammates scolding you."

Seeing the victory results screen on Youyou's hand, the little ones all opened their mouths wide.

They managed to turn that around! That's amazing!

Shao Youyou glanced at the screen, then at Leng Zhi, unsure if she had actually heard anything.

She suddenly hugged Leng Zhi's leg: "Coach! Teach me how to play games!"

The other kids followed suit, and Leng Zhi was instantly covered in children. At the same time, he heard their shouts: "Coach! Teach us how to play games!"

Former e-sports prodigy Leng Zhi froze: "...?"

[Hahaha, now Leng Ge is being pestered by the kid.]

[4 more kids won over by Leng Ge]

[To be honest, the fact that he could still turn the game around after dying so many times as Daji is quite impressive, isn't it?]

[Isn't this variety show talking about a mysterious e-sports expert, the one who just trended on social media? Is it him?]

[The mysterious person? That's Lei Shen. After all, this is a mobile game; mobile games are different from playing with a keyboard.]

[Yeah, this guy named Leng Zhi is probably only better at mobile games than kids. He'd probably be terrible at them on a computer. I've seen plenty of these kinds of minor celebrities.]

The "mysterious man" Lei Shen could no longer sit still.

The live stream camera was entirely focused on Leng Zhi; he didn't get a single shot of himself that night.

His character is clearly that of a top-tier martial arts master.

He's a player with a minor national ranking – although he used a professional booster, his actual skill level is at least at the provincial level.

How come he can't gain any popularity from variety shows, live streams, or games?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stand up, walk to Leng Zhi's side, and force a smile:

"There are so many of you kids, Leng Zhi can't teach you all. Actually, Uncle Lei is also very good at video games. Would you like to see him?"
