Zhao Youyue, the expert gamer

Zhao Hao did not dwell on this matter for long, as there always would be similarities in this world, voices included. He started to watch the live broadcast. Through the popups, he realized that she was a tycoon herself. She was actually live-streaming herself, spamming tens of thousands of dollars just to get an SSR rank card in a card game.

Although she eventually got it, everyone still generally considered it as a loss, the live streamer’s luck was not particularly good, afterall.

Then, Zhao Youyue started to live stream herself playing “King of Glory.” She did not use her own QQ ID to play, as she was still concerned about her privacy. As a result, more popups came up, laughing at her, saying that, “Isn’t this live streamer quite rich? Why aren’t all the heroes and relics in her KoG account fully unlocked?…

If it was ‘Yu Shengfan’ who got the butt end of those taunts at this moment, she would immediately fall into the bait and spam money unlocking all the heroes and relics. Zhao Youyue only smiled and said, “That’s too much. We need to give the other players a chance. When I play this, it’s okay for me to choose any hero at random, without full relics. That’s the only way we can enjoy a balanced gameplay.”

Then, she inadvertently showed her level 3 ‘Xinyue member'[1] symbol, which was followed by a wave of ‘666’s[2] among the popups. Anyone who understands the Xinyue member system would instantly get what that level 3 meant. Being a level 3 Xinyue member meant that Zhao Youyue has spent at least 80k RMB on Tencent games. That is how you achieve the highest level of Xinyue membership!

The more you play Tencent games, the better you would know that Xinyue members with the highest level have privileges. No matter what problems they encounter with their account, attending to them would become first priority. This is Tencent Gaming, creating games with all their ‘hearts’. You can hardly play their games without spending any money.

Zhao Youyue’s calm way of lowkey bragging was far more provocative, compared to Xiao Yu’s straightforward railing. In response to that low-key taunt, some viewers started spamming a lot of vulgar phrases, eventually getting themselves banned.

Zhao Hao suddenly laughed when he saw this scene. He spoke within his heart, “This tycoon female live streamer is certainly quite interesting. Just like what everyone says, lowkey taunts are the most critical ones. She seems to have maxed out her ‘invisible showoff’ skill.”

There was only one thing that confused Zhao Hao. Up till this moment, he still could not find any similarities between this female live streamer and ‘Yu Shengfan.’ Such a calm attitude was apparently more like the main protagonist of “The Strongest King,” Lin Feng…

However, this matter did not hinder Zhao Hao from watching happily. This female live streamer called ‘Ah Yu’, is indeed considered one of a kind amongst all female live streamers. She retained her calm at all times, as if nothing could move her.

Zhao Youyue chose to play Zhuge Liang the ‘Star Commander,’ a hero that she had acquired, along with a hero-experiencing card and skin-experiencing card. This was a hero who had a lot to show. His positional shifting skills were similar to the hero ‘EZ'[3] of “League of Legends.” He is able to continuously shift his position here and there, displaying the limits of the game.

Zhao Youyue then played and narrated calmly at the same time as usual. Oftentimes, before she could even finish her sentences, an enemy would have already died…

In the next moment, the ‘Zhuge Liang’ under her control killed its target with a blistering combo. She eventually achieved ‘beyond godlike’ status at the 10th minute and ended the game in just 15 minutes. It felt really like she was bullying primary students.

This is definitely Zhao Youyue’s personal capability. She had not relied on Yu Shengfan.

KoG was too easy for her now.

After she was finished playing KoG, she played one round of solo ranking match in LoL. In order to save time, she opted for the empty position, which was naturally the ‘support’ position. She picked Veigar, the evil little mage as support. As a result, a ‘1 for 2’ trade happened at the bottom lane, where she killed two enemy heroes. Her ally ADC [4]felt angry, saying that she was stealing his kills and was not behaving like any supporter whatsoever. He then scolded her on the ‘To all’ channel.

Luckily, it was Zhao Youyue who was playing now, not Xiao Yu. If not, according to Xiao Yu’s style, this ADC might have been flamed until he starts doubting his own life, by now. Xiao Yu had never taken the initiative at flaming her teammates, but this did not mean that she would stay silent when her teammates flame at her.

Some popups started to respond on behalf of Zhao Youyue——

“This ADC must be a m*ron. According to that situation, there’s no reason to give him the kills. If not, it might have ended up as a ‘2 for 2’ trade…”

“Having such an ADC in a Platinum Rank[5] match is stupid, to say the least. Host, do hurry and advance to Diamond Rank, so that you avoid meeting such players again.”

“So ‘admirable’! A snot-faced noob, yet already throwing a tantrum, that is truly bullsh*t!”

“The host should not have opted to fill the empty spot. How peaceful would it be to be able to solo-mid! She can definitely carry the game, as long as her teammates aren’t noobs. But if she plays support, then it would be quite a struggle.”



The ADC actually chose to go farming in the jungle and resorted to ganking. Zhao Youyue allowed her ally ADC to go on with his flaming and responded with her actions. She soloed at bottom lane in a 1-versus-2 situation, utilizing the two enemy heroes’ miscalculation and overconfidence. They tried to forcefully kill her at the enemy tower, only to end up giving her a Double Kill instead. She sold her supportive items and started playing like a solo mid, eventually becoming stronger and stronger!

Everyone who plays ‘Veigar’ should know. Once it gains a significant advantage in the early game, with a high creep-kill count, it would steamroll its way through the rest of the game!

Without a doubt, seeing Zhao Youyue who had turned a support hero into a carry hero, performing even better than the solo midlaner, her teammates started shouting ‘666’ at her, in a frenzy. As for the raging, flaming ADC who had been running his mouth of since the beginning, he had long fallen silent. He seemed more like a supporter now, allowing Zhao Youyue to have the bottom lane. He had actually thought that she will be owned in a 1-versus-2 situation. Then, he would be able enjoy laughing at her. However, the enemy heroes kept giving her double kills, one after another instead, until they almost left the game…

After about 25 minutes, the enemy base was destroyed.

“666, host, you’re too awesome!”

“If Ah Yu keeps playing LoL and increasing her ranking points, she may be able to reach the top rank in no time!”

“Please have one more match, you really need to do more than one match per day!”

“I truly admire Xiao Yu. She played a support as a solo mid!”

“Come on, have another round. Don’t play support, just go solo mid rightaway. Own the enemy, carry the game…”

All the commentators within the live broadcast room were so excited, after watching such a dramatic match. This made great streaming. A live streamer using a support to carry the whole game was indeed awe-inspiring.

Zhao Youyue also imitated the other live streamers and spoke into her mic, “If everyone enjoyed watching, please press the ‘subscribe’ button. Anyone who has free fish balls[6] or likes, do contribute.”

It has been proven that such a way of asking for subscribers and presents was quite effective. Her total subscriptions had almost reached 50,000

Zhao Hao expressed enjoyment in watching by clicking the subscription button. Then he sent a popup, “Host, please turn on your webcam. I will immediately give you ten helicopters if you open it!”

All the commenters saw Boss Hao’s popup and started supporting his idea, asking for the host to open her webcam. They even said, “Ten helicopters is worth 5,000 RMB. If that amount is divided by half, the host would already get 2,500 RMB.All she has to do is to open the webcam. What an easy way to earn money…”

Zhao Youyue nonchalantly dismissed the comment. Zhao Hao was just another stranger to her. She said calmly, “I’m going to end the broadcast. Lastly, I will play my violin for everyone. I will also take song requests.”
