003 Hide on bush, it's him again!
Amidst the envious gazes of their classmates, the two boys surnamed Li walked all the way to the school gate and waved goodbye.
See you tomorrow, bro.
See you tomorrow, Sang-hyeok.
Watching Lee Sang-hyeok's figure disappear into the distance, Lee Ji-haeng didn't rush to leave but turned around instead.
In sight, another boy with a bowl cut was jogging towards them.
"Brother Zhixing!"
The boy, carrying a backpack, was clearly also one of those who didn't attend evening self-study sessions.
"You're here, Hyukyu."
After Li Zhixing and the other boys walked up to him, the two of them walked together in another direction.
The boy named Kim Hyuk-kyu looked in another direction and asked, "Who is that person? Is he my classmate?"
"Yes, his name is Lee Sang-hyeok." Lee Ji-haeng nodded and smiled, "He said he's really good at League of Legends, maybe he's a pro."
"Even if you're really good, you're not as good as me, bro." Kim Hyuk-kyu looked a little shy. "I'm number one in the whole server!"
"Don't talk nonsense outside," Li Zhixing chuckled. "Go home and eat quickly today, I'll help you rank up tonight."
"Okay! Thank you, hyung!" Kim Hyuk-kyu's tone was noticeably more cheerful.
Kim Hyuk-kyu—Li Zhixing's neighbor, the two have known each other since childhood.
He is also currently ranked fifth in the Korean server, and as the only AD player in the top ten, his talent is beyond doubt.
Before Li Zhixing transmigrated, Jin Hekui had been playing duo queue with the original owner to rank up the game, and the two were already gaming friends.
As good friends, Kim Hyuk-kyu managed to raise the original owner's score from just over a thousand to 1,500, even though it affected his own score.
After Li Zhixing transmigrated and completed the "Enlightenment in Longchang," directly ascending to the top spot, Jin Hekui was finally liberated and began to catch up, quickly rising to the top five.
His talent and character are both exceptional.
It can only be said that God was kind to him. Although he didn't get the system that every time traveler needs, he at least got an SSR-level helper.
Although Li Zhixing knew very little about this world, he was well aware that the young man before him was destined for greatness.
His playing style was just too reckless, and his talent wasn't enough to fully support that recklessness. Perhaps this championship still needs some heavy defeats as a form of training...
Li Zhixing didn't mind giving him some practice beforehand.
The two of them lived not far from the school; it was just two turns after crossing the road.
He hurried upstairs, took out his keys, and opened the door.
The house was empty, which Li Zhixing had expected. He calmly took out a bowl of instant noodles from the cupboard, cooked it quickly, and then sat down in front of the computer.
The computer in Li Zhixing's room was quite good, with top-of-the-line specifications for that year. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to perform video editing smoothly.
As an international student who came from China with his father, his family's financial situation was certainly not bad.
Li Zhixing didn't think too much about it. While Jin Hekui was still eating, he first checked the data from today's video and the online store's backend.
For a popular new champion like Zed, tutorial videos are bound to be incredibly popular.
In just one afternoon, the video views on various platforms easily exceeded 500,000, which directly boosted the sales of 5,000 pork floss cakes. The net profit of each pork floss cake was just over 30 cents in RMB.
In just one afternoon, he earned over a thousand yuan from pork floss cakes alone.
In addition to these, he also deals in various other items such as snacks, clothes, and peripherals, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to profiting...
Based on past performance, this video should easily earn over 50,000 RMB in total revenue.
To make so much money in the South Korean market, which is far less developed than the domestic market, is truly impressive. The older generation of esports players must have been rolling in money.
Li Zhixing thought about his bank account balance and suddenly felt full of motivation.
He logged into his Korean server account, hoping to strike while the iron was hot and produce another batch of material tonight!
Season 3 is about to begin.
This will be the first season that League of Legends truly enters the public eye, and he must seize this opportunity and win this crucial championship!
That's why we must seize every second.
Not long after he logged in, Kim Hyuk-kyu also logged in and sent him a team-up request.
In the late Season 2, when the League of Legends ranked system was not yet perfected, even two players in top-ranked games could still duo queue.
However, the trade-off is that the queue time is extremely long, starting at twenty minutes.
During the ranked match, Kim Hyuk-kyu even called for a voice chat, talking incessantly:
"My home computer is getting slower and slower; I'm even struggling to play League of Legends... Don't worry, bro, I definitely won't hold you back!"
With the season nearing its end, Kim Hyuk-kyu is still in a hurry, trying his best to improve his ranking.
Even if there's no hope of getting first place, second place is still great!
Hearing his younger brother's sincere words, Li Zhixing smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't lose."
Soon, the ranked wait finally ended, and a square confirmation window popped up in front of him. Li Zhixing clicked to confirm and finally entered the hero selection screen.
Li Zhi acted swiftly. Upon entering and finding himself on the fifth floor, he immediately typed "5ㅁㄷ" into the chat box.
The meaning is simple: fifth floor mid-lane, if you don't give it, we'll give it away.
Li Zhixing's ID is now considered a god in high-elo games on the Korean server.
Even though the original owner dragged the team down in over a hundred matches, he still managed to quickly rise to the top of the server with a total win rate of nearly 70%, and he hardly ever lost during that time.
He wants the position, and no one dares to refuse him.
In contrast, Kim Hyuk-kyu fared much worse. Although he indicated in the chat that he wanted to play AD in 4L, his teammates ignored him and directly locked in Caitlyn.
"Only the jungler position is left, bro..." Kim Hyuk-kyu said helplessly.
"It's okay, just pick Pantheon and follow me." Li Zhixing smiled and moved the mouse over Zed's hero portrait, ready to lock on.
But unexpectedly, the hero's life turned somber.
Did the other side steal it?
Li Zhixing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
There are also experts.
Zed is a brand new hero that was just released yesterday. Besides him, who else dares to pick him in top-ranked games on the Korean server?
But Li Zhixing was not afraid and instead locked down Syndra.
In League of Legends a few years later, Syndra would be at a significant disadvantage against champions like Zed and Ekko. The reason is simple: Syndra's ultimate can be dodged by these champions' invulnerability abilities, resulting in a severe lack of damage output.
However, in the late Season 2, when the balance was not yet complete, each hero exuded a kind of numerical beauty. Syndra was a super lane bully even with her ultimate ability. There was really no counter relationship between the two. It was still more about personal proficiency.
The game started quickly and entered the loading screen.
Only then did Li Zhixing notice the opponent's Zed's ID, and then his eyes narrowed.
Hide on bush, it's him again!
