001 Li Zhixing
"Today's game was another top-tier match, with everyone scoring over 2000 points!"
"Our opponent is an old friend, Hide on bush, the second-ranked player in the entire server. You need to watch carefully; next time you're matched against someone like this, you'll know how to play!"
November 15, 2012, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
A young, handsome boy sat in his room, talking incessantly into a microphone in Korean.
The computer screen was playing a recording of a top-ranked game he had recently played on the Korean server.
"This week's hero is one that everyone has been eagerly anticipating: Zed, who was just released yesterday. He's an assassin hero with an extremely high skill ceiling, and his passive skill..."
After introducing Zed's complex skills, Li Zhixing's Zed had reached level six and was currently engaged in a back-and-forth battle with the opposing Syndra.
Syndra played with considerable confidence, facing Zed who was already level six, she neither dodged nor avoided him, but instead took the initiative to move forward.
But Zed's move was more direct, he WWQ-ing right in the face!
At this moment, it can be clearly seen that Zed's main body threw out two shuriken, both of which pierced through Syndra's body.
With a single basic attack, he used his ultimate skill "Instant Shadow Kill Array" to dodge "Dark Orb," revealing his killing intent!
Syndra turned her head and pushed the ball towards Zed's shadow, her timing precise and skillful, stunning the landing Zed.
However, this maneuver was no longer very meaningful; Zed's two point-blank attacks, dealing maximum damage, were enough to decide the outcome.
Zed flashed and used his AoE combo twice, followed by the explosion of his ultimate's mark, securing the kill on Syndra.
"Neo killed Hide on bush!"
The boy skillfully inserts a pre-made video here, accompanied by narration:
"As you can see, our old friend's skills are still quite sharp, but he still couldn't beat us because we used a key little trick, which I call the double Q of the main body."
"The operation is very simple. Just press WQW once in advance to prepare, and then quickly press WWQ when you want to attack, like this..."
After finishing this editing segment, Li Zhixing lay back in his chair, gulped down a large glass of water, and sighed inwardly.
What a sin.
His life experiences are so rich they could be written into a novel.
In his previous life, he retired as a three-time S-series champion and became a coach. He continued to realize his talent in the coaching industry, leading his team to another three-peat and establishing a second dynasty. With six championships, he led LPL to the top.
On the day he retired, Riot Games led the way in bidding him farewell, paying tribute to the departure of a legend.
Who would have thought that, having just retired and not even had a chance to enjoy life, he would be kicked into a completely new world?
From a true-blue Chinese to an overseas Chinese studying in South Korea, the world has undergone earth-shattering changes, and none of the familiar names from my previous life have appeared.
The only thing that hasn't changed is League of Legends, which was launched in South Korea at the end of 2011.
Fortunately, this body is young enough, and combined with his game understanding that is more than a decade ahead, he has a bright future ahead of him.
His primary task now is to build a reputation.
Make some extra money along the way...
As the game commentary progressed to the mid-game, Zed, whose equipment had become overwhelmingly superior, entered the fray and was about to unleash his killing spree when Li Zhixing pressed a shortcut key, switching to a pre-recorded video.
"To achieve amazing results, you'll need good food! Here, we recommend our best-selling snack: Youchen Pork Floss Cake, specially imported from China!"
"I can execute these maneuvers flawlessly without my hands shaking, all thanks to the pork floss pancake! Every bite is bursting with flavor, and the more I eat, the more skill I can improve! After finishing this pancake, you too can reach the top of the Korean server rankings, just like me!"
In this primitive era, if you didn't sell pork floss pastries, you'd be embarrassed to call yourself an e-sports player.
Li Zhixing entered the industry late, but he heard that those e-sports veterans made a fortune from pork floss pancakes. Now it's only 2012, and those Chinese e-sports players haven't retired yet. It's the perfect time for him to make his move!
However, unexpectedly, China, a country in this world, actually won a world championship this year.
In his world, due to national conditions and a late start, the LPL had no achievements in the first few years, and it wasn't until the S8 season that it finally won its first championship.
Li Zhixing was a member of that championship team.
After that, it became unstoppable, and the championship was never out of reach.
I wonder what will become of this world.
After the GG implantation ended, Li Zhixing switched back to the main content and continued his narration.
In the scene, the Shadow Master, who was one item ahead of everyone else, was unstoppable. He dodged and weaved through the enemy ranks, effortlessly taking down both of their carries.
After this battle, the enemy lost all fighting spirit and surrendered with four votes.
Li Zhixing glanced at the time, then sped up his work, quickly inserting a clip of the peripheral store's GG at the end of the video, and then aligned the subtitles from beginning to end. The editing of the video was finally finished.
After fast-forwarding through the video and confirming that everything was correct, I simultaneously uploaded it to YouTube, FOW.KR, and other popular educational video platforms in South Korea.
In 2012, the League of Legends instructional training field was a goldmine waiting to be tapped, even in South Korea.
Li Zhixing used the methods of his e-sports predecessors to deal with the current Koreans, which was simply a crushing blow!
Moreover, he has more than just the skills to create self-media content.
In his previous life, he was a six-time champion with 3+3. In less than a year since he transmigrated to the present, he has already reached the top of the Korean server and has the title of the number one in the country. Naturally, his videos have become incredibly popular.
Moreover, with over a decade of gaming experience, his video production efficiency is also high.
For champions like Zed, who were just released yesterday, while others are still racking their brains to figure out the champion's mechanics, he can already dominate the second-ranked player in the top Korean server games.
With multiple advantages, Li Zhixing's video views are far ahead in the League of Legends tutorial category!
After uploading all the videos to all the websites, Li Zhixing opened the YouTube video that was uploaded first.
Because this video was teased in advance, countless fans eagerly awaited it. So, within just a few minutes of its release, it had already garnered tens of thousands of views and a flood of comments.
[Neo is too fast! The new hero was only released yesterday and he's already dominating top-tier games today, that's unbelievable!]
Are you a new fan? This person is always like this!
[Neo is really amazing! Why doesn't he go pro and make a name for himself instead of staying here as a small-time streamer?]
[What are you talking about? Do you even know how many Neo's pork floss pancakes have sold? A professional gamer's salary is barely a few bucks! ㅋㅋㅋ]
Li Zhixing smiled as he looked at the flood of comments before him.
How many of these pork floss pancakes will we have to sell this time?!
The alarm clock rang in his ears. Li Zhixing glanced at the time, then grabbed his school uniform and hurriedly left the room.
