Chapter Fifteen: The Streamer Yuan Ge with 600 Points!

Without any movement abilities and focused solely on clearing the minion wave, the Guiguzi became the perfect target for Yuan Ge’s next maneuver.

“Quadra Kill!”

Lin Hao secured a four-kill streak.

In the end, after destroying the high ground tower, with a siege minion still present, Lin Hao coordinated with Zhang Fei and took down the enemy’s crystal.

VICTORY!

The enemy’s crystal exploded!

This time, it was pure personal skill that reversed the course of the game and secured the win.

The last image froze on Lin Hao’s recall screen, with a chat bubble beside him: “Sorry.”

For Yi Fan’s teammates, if this Yuan Ge had been playing normally and still managed to outplay everyone, they would have had no complaints.

Among experts, such a display of skill—whether from foe or ally—would earn a round of applause and the phrase, “What a brilliant match!”

Because in that fight, everyone’s plays were on point, and the details were handled exceptionally well.

If there was blame to be found, it was simply that this Yuan Ge was too extraordinary.

Yet throughout the whole match, Yuan Ge had been dancing around, recalling to taunt, spamming apologies, making unconventional moves, even using Flash at odd moments...

He was even using the default skin—Green Bean Yuan Ge.

Still, this player, who seemed to be throwing the game, led the pace from start to finish, and in the final teamfight, single-handedly turned the tide and clinched victory.

In Yi Fan’s stream, Yi Fan shook his head and sighed, “If I’d played Elder Master, I could have tried some moves on him.”

Normally, Yuan Ge does well against Elder Master, but struggles more against Ma Chao.

Due to hero matchups, Yi Fan chose Ma Chao.

But for a top-tier Yuan Ge, Ma Chao is actually a hero they are most familiar with; when both sides are playing at the highest level, the outcome is uncertain.

So only by picking their best hero could they truly contend with this Yuan Ge.

“Embarrassing!”

“Yi Fan really is getting old!”

“Don’t blame Yi Fan—his play was fine. The double carries were just too weak; seriously, how can both get double-killed by a Yuan Ge?”

“Hey, did you forget how many times Yi Fan got solo killed early on?”

In Yi Fan’s stream, the chat became more heated.

From Yi Fan’s perspective, viewers watched Yuan Ge dart around the screen, showing off at every turn, and it was truly infuriating.

In contrast, Lin Hao’s stream was surging in popularity, passing 700,000 viewers. While this may not be much in the King of Glory streaming section, the growth rate was staggering.

“That was insane! I officially declare Hao the strongest Yuan Ge in the universe!”

“This game was so satisfying! Hao’s play is different from those top-ranked Yuan Ges—he’s aggressive and entertaining!”

“A hidden gem of a streamer! Followed, followed!”

“Is this a smurf? Why doesn’t his Yuan Ge have a badge? Is he a national-level Yuan Ge?”

“What’s your Yuan Ge’s combat rating, streamer? Over 20,000?”

Lin Hao cheerfully thanked his fans for their gifts, then spent the queue time answering their questions from the chat.

“Are you a national-level Yuan Ge? No, just Green Bean Yuan Ge.”

“The strongest Yuan Ge in the universe? That’s too much praise. There could be aliens out there better than me, who knows?”

“Combat rating of 20,000? You must be joking. My Yuan Ge’s combat rating is 70! Oh, wait, after that game I gained 569 points—so now it’s 600!”

The chat teased, “Haha, a 600-point Yuan Ge and already this terrifying!”

Ding~!

Queue popped!

“Hao, are you playing default-skin Yuan Ge again? I didn’t get to see the whole show last time—one more time!”

“I second that!”

“We want to see default-skin Yuan Ge go on a rampage!”

Having just dazzled everyone with Yuan Ge, Lin Hao’s hands were still warm. Hearing his fans’ requests, he wanted to go again.

His teammates had already started claiming their lanes.

Thanks to Lin Hao’s recent system upgrades, his skills had improved rapidly. Now, on the Shared Heartbeat account, his hidden rank was quite high.

In other words, Lin Hao was increasingly likely to queue into high-tier games.

This match seemed to be another high-rank lobby, with Lin Hao as the anchor player.

Teammates posted their lane ranks.

Eighty-five-star Solo Lane!

Ninety-two-star Jungle!

With teammates like these, they usually waited to pick their heroes last for the best counter-pick options.

“It’s a rematch!”

“Hao, you’re up against Yi Fan again!”

“No way, these rivals keep meeting!”

“This time Yi Fan said he’ll crush you with Elder Master!”

Lin Hao glanced at the chat, momentarily stunned.

“System, is that really Yi Fan on the other side?”

Normally, the system would tell Lin Hao if there was a streamer on the enemy team during the loading screen. If not, that meant there wasn’t one.

“System has detected enemy streamers Yi Fan and Li Zhi’en. Based on popularity weight, collecting either’s Rage Value yields triple rewards.”

Wow!

Two of them?

Yi Fan needed no introduction—they’d already matched once. He was the pinnacle of Elder Master, with a 114-star solo lane record.

Lin Hao had also heard of Li Zhi’en.

They were colleagues, both streaming on Shark platform.

With about 2 million followers, he was a major streamer.

His signature hero was Pei Qinhu, known as the Tiger King.

“So, system, do I have any streamers on my side?”

Lin Hao felt pressure; after just getting the system, he was already facing two big-name streamers in a row. He couldn’t be sure he’d always perform at his best.

Winning didn’t matter much, but if he lost in a contest of skill, outshone by the enemy streamers and becoming their entertainment, he wouldn’t be able to collect much Rage Value.

“Host’s team includes Douyin streamer Yu Bai.”

Who’s Yu Bai?

Never heard of him—must be a small-time streamer...

No matter, since they’ve matched up, it’s time to play!

Just then, an idea popped into Lin Hao’s mind.

It was his turn as fifth pick to ban a hero. After some thought, he directly banned Pei Qinhu.

???

Both his viewers and teammates were baffled.

Pei Qinhu was a common sight in high-level games, but not usually a must-ban.

With jungle buffs strengthened, the Tiger King couldn’t invade as before, making him less impactful.

Against this backdrop, Lin Hao’s choice to ban the Tiger seemed inexplicable.

He wasn’t done—he pre-selected Elder Master and repeatedly pinged “Request Pick!”

Although he didn’t have a badge, Lin Hao could still show off his gold medal from the last match.

Seeing the confident fifth pick, the third pick—an eighty-five-star solo laner—said nothing and helped him secure the champion.

“Rage Value +800 from Li Zhi’en!”

“Rage Value +900 from Yi Fan!”
