15: Chapter 15 An Encounter with a Female Anchor

Seeing Wu Jie give up his seat, Lin Yi didn't stand on ceremony; it had been a while since he last played, and his fingers were itching.

Lin Yi sat down, logged out of Wu Jie's account, and skillfully logged into his own.

He Linwei casually picked up another skewer of grilled meat and said to Lin Yi with a hint of showmanship.

"As long as you don't feed too hard, I can definitely carry you to rank up!"

Hu Kai nodded, as if to prove that He Linwei's words were true.

"Old He is a Diamond III god. My and Wu Jie's ranks are too low; we normally wouldn't be able to queue with Old He."

"The accounts we're using right now are Diamond accounts that Old He specially borrowed from a friend."

At this, He Linwei rolled his eyes helplessly.

"You two still have the nerve to say that!"

"We've lost all day; I don't even know how I'm going to explain this to my friend..."

Lin Yi listened and shrugged, his expression indifferent.

"We can just grind the rank back up later."

Wu Jie shook his head quickly from the side.

"Old Lin, you don't understand. Today was my first time playing in the Diamond tier. Everyone is a god; it's impossible to win!"

"Not surrendering early is already pretty good, let alone ranking up."

"By the way, Old Lin, what's your rank?"

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth curled up slightly as he calmly clicked open his profile page.

The three of them, led by He Linwei, curiously leaned their heads in.

"It's fine, if your rank isn't high, I'll go borrow another one later..."

He Linwei had intended to say that if Lin Yi's rank was too low, he could go borrow another account for him later.

But when he saw the rank on Lin Yi's account, the words he was about to say were instantly swallowed back down.

"Holy crap... Mas... Master?"

"Old Lin, you actually made it to Master?"

They had all been playing League of Legends for several years, so they naturally knew how high the value of this rank was.

He Linwei only had plenty of time to play after the college entrance exam, and after two months of grueling effort, he had only reached Diamond III.

Yet unexpectedly, a Master-tier expert had appeared in their dormitory.

He had just been so arrogant, saying he would carry someone else and telling them not to feed too much...

"Actually, I was Challenger before... I didn't have much time to play this season because I was retaking my exams..."

"What?"

"Challenger?"

The Master rank had already earned their deep respect, and they never expected that this was just the result of Lin Yi barely playing this new season.

He Linwei's face twitched.

Compared to Lin Yi's Challenger rank, his Diamond III was as adorable as a kindergartner's.

"Brother Lin!"

He Linwei's attitude instantly became respectful.

"Brother Lin, can you carry me to rank up?"

He Linwei quickly put down the barbecue in his hand.

At this moment, no matter how delicious the food in front of him was, it wasn't as tempting as a living, breathing god-tier player.

Lin Yi nodded, seemingly feeling no pressure at all.

Anyway, his rank had dropped now; playing in Diamond and Master games was just like a warm-up!

Definitely going to carry every game!

Soon, He Linwei sent a friend request to Lin Yi, and after Lin Yi accepted it, the two entered the game.

He had originally wanted to call Hu Kai to play together, but Hu Kai was determined to sit on the side with Wu Jie to learn techniques and refused to join the game no matter what.

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't really say anything else.

Before long, Lin Yi and He Linwei were matched with three random teammates.

Lin Yi was mid, He Linwei was jungling, focusing on a mid-jungle synergy.

In the champion selection phase, Lin Yi, who was in the first pick position, didn't hesitate at all and insta-locked a hero that every mid-laner is extremely familiar with: Yasuo.

As the confirm button was pressed, the fourth-pick ADC player typed two lines of text in the public chat.

"Don't tell me you're a feeder Yasuo!"

"I'm streaming right now, don't drag me down..."

Who would have thought that a random teammate would actually be a streamer.

Hu Kai, who was on the side, quickly found the streamer's channel on the Huyu Live platform based on the fourth pick's name.

"Holy crap, look! It's a female streamer!"

"And she has a great figure, a baby face with a huge... wow!"

"But why does she only have thirty-something people in her stream?"

"Seems like a newbie streamer."

Hearing this, Lin Yi also curiously cast his gaze over.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that figure is indeed good..."

"Didn't expect my luck to be so good today, actually running into an opportunity to carry a girl!"

Suddenly, Lin Yi thought that since he had a system, he wondered if he could bind a cashback target through conversation from afar.

If it was possible, he could just watch streams and send gifts whenever he was bored, and he'd be making a fortune every day!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi quickly typed a sentence to the fourth-pick female streamer in the game's public chat.

"Don't worry, fourth pick, my Yasuo is super pro."

After waiting a few seconds, no system notification sound appeared in his mind.

Lin Yi felt a wave of disappointment; it seemed this path to getting rich wouldn't work.

"Look, the description on her stream says that if you send a 'Plane' gift, you can voice chat and play a game with the streamer!"

"It's too easy to make money as a streamer these days..."

"A 'Plane' is one hundred yuan!"

Sharp-eyed Wu Jie saw the announcement in the female streamer's channel.

For ordinary college students like them, spending one hundred yuan to voice chat and play a game with a female streamer was way too expensive.

You have to know, their monthly living expenses were only a little over one thousand yuan.

One hundred yuan was enough for them to eat in the cafeteria for three days.

But for Lin Yi, who now had millions in his hands, this was just a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, Lin Yi had just reviewed it in his mind; the system's binding requirement was to have a conversation with a person of the opposite sex.

He had tried it just now, and typing in chat probably didn't count as a conversation in the system's definition.

However, he wondered if a voice call counted?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi quickly opened his phone, logged into Huyu Live, and to prevent the cashback target binding from failing, he only topped up one hundred yuan first.

Soon, the special effect for a 'Plane' gift appeared in the female streamer's channel.

"Wow, thank you for the 'Plane', Brother Mu Mu!"

Mu Mu was exactly Lin Yi's username on Hu-Yu Live.

Lin Yi subsequently typed a line in the stream chat.

"Streamer, can I voice chat with you now? I'm the Yasuo in the first slot!"

The female streamer was stunned; it was her first day streaming, and she hadn't expected that someone would actually be willing to spend the money for a 'Plane' just to voice chat with her.

And the other person was just a random passerby she had encountered in the game.

"Yes, of course you can."

Seeing that Lin Yi had sent a voice chat request, the female streamer immediately clicked accept.

"Hello!"

Lin Yi spoke first to greet her.

"Ding! Detected that the host is having a conversation with a person of the opposite sex."

"The host's current heart-throb value is 25 points, meeting the binding conditions."

"Binding successful!"

Hearing the familiar system notification sound, Lin Yi was secretly delighted.

It seemed his judgment was correct; the system's definition of a conversation was just speaking out loud, but as for whether it was face-to-face or through other means, there weren't very strict restrictions.

Since the binding was successful, if he gave her more gifts after the game ended, wouldn't he make a killing?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi was a little impatient.
