Chapter 14 The Strange Tree
To be honest, Qingyu was quite puzzled as well.

From some point in my past life, nails seemed to have gradually become associated with the victim.

However, in the early stages of the game, setting up spikes is actually a common way to counter the defending team.

The reason is also very simple——

Ground spikes deal percentage-based damage, which will definitely cause far more damage to tanks than to squishy targets. Therefore, they can be quite annoying for a significant number of shields who use Leftovers to heal themselves while on the field.

During this period, a major tactical objective of scattering nails was to lower the kill threshold.

The nail tactic that Qingyu just used revolved around this core principle.

Of course, his lineup is not that simple.

What we just encountered was merely an appetizer, at most the first stage of a boss fight. It's sufficient for my current rank.

After easily securing a victory, Qingyu opened matchmaking again.

Because the initial placement of spikes was quite deceptive, none of his subsequent opponents expected him to employ such an aggressive tactic.

An unconventional move allowed him to easily win his tenth consecutive victory, even faster than yesterday.

Three surrendered immediately upon seeing him lay nails, four fought back, and three others pulled the plug, resulting in a loss.

The efficiency is astonishing.

They managed to squeeze out an extra ten minutes.

Competitive games generally have a characteristic where the score changes roughly the same after a win or a loss, but a winning streak will result in significantly more points.

Two consecutive ten-game winning streaks allowed Qingyu to easily climb the ladder and successfully reach the Super Ball rank.

[Dude, this is a 20-game winning streak including yesterday! Is it that bad?]

[The streamer seems quite relaxed; could he really be aiming for Master rank all the way?]

[Being able to pull out so many tactics, I wouldn't mind even reaching Master rank. What I'd really like to see is the streamer testing the strength of these tactics in high-level matches!]

To be fair, that's true.

After nearly an hour of live streaming, the number of viewers in Qingyu's live stream room continued to increase, quietly breaking through five figures when no one was paying attention.

Seeing that the plan was complete, Qingyu originally intended to end the broadcast immediately.

But seeing that there was still enough time, they quickly decided to start another game.

Based on his experience from his previous life, the last game of such a winning streak would always be "intelligently matched" with a skilled opponent who could end the winning streak.

But actually, rather than trying to rack up points with consecutive wins, he hopes to encounter truly skilled opponents.

Otherwise, the battles would be too boring.

Perhaps it was his willpower that worked; after a brief matching process, the scroll wheel stopped spinning, and the opponent's information appeared.

Trainer ID: Qishu.

Below is a small, officially certified line: Master of Padia Brewmaster Dojo.

Wow, I've run into a competitor.

[Holy crap, the streamer got matched with Qi Shu! He has no choice but to switch sides!]

[Kiki is so cute! Watching streamers is just for fun, but if you really want to see something adorable, Kiki is the one!]

Follow Qishu Miao and the Qishu channel, thank you meow~

The barrage of comments reacted even faster than Qingyu, quickly overwhelmingly criticizing Qishu.

Qi Shu, look at the soldiers you've led!

Seeing how genuine the audience was, Qingyu's eyes instantly sharpened.

It's true what they say, rivals are always enemies.

I was originally planning to hold back a bit, but now it seems I have to go all out and let these viewers know who the real top streamer is!

This is no longer a mere provocation; we must strike hard!

……

Phado, Niangguang City, Padiya Region. Kiju is not in a good mood today.

It all started when she woke up at noon and came across a tutorial video with an extremely high number of views.

Because Pokémon Champion was so popular when it launched, this shouldn't have been a big deal.

After all, the trending topics these days are mostly related to this game, and she herself was lucky enough to top the trending list once.

But the number of views for today's video has increased ridiculously high, and even Daigo, the Hoenn champion who rarely appears on the internet, took the initiative to help promote it.

It's clearly not simple.

With a humble attitude to learn, Qi Shu decisively clicked on the link.

however……

After reading it, she was devastated.

Is this person trying to steal my job? How could they be so mean!

As a new streamer who has accumulated a lot of fans in just half a month since she started broadcasting, she is very clear about her strengths.

Because the Pokémon Battle Zone is basically a blank slate, and its appearance is also quite appealing, it has been able to attract so many viewers.

Even those majoring in teaching aren't as good at live streaming as her, and those who are good at live streaming might not even be as good as her in terms of tactics!

This section is clearly tailor-made for the great Kiju-sama!
But now, a sense of crisis is rising.

Although he was also a Padiya Gym Leader, he had never heard of this person before. However, this guy's teaching tactics were easy to understand, and he was obviously skilled. He was not on the same level as him, a complete novice.

Wouldn't this take away a significant portion of the viewers who enjoy watching matches?!
The rest are fans who stayed because they're genuinely cute...

How can I then promote the reputation of the Niangguang Dojo?

This is the only thing I absolutely cannot do!

With the pressure of competition, Qishu started his broadcast much earlier than usual today.

Today's goal is—the advanced ball!

Heaven rewards diligence. If I start working hard today, I will definitely not be surpassed by this guy!
Two hours later.

"Great, another victory!"

Who are you? Where did you hide that adorable, wondrous tree?

[I came to see your winning streak? Are you really going to reach the higher end today?!]

[They've made it to the promotion matches! The streamer is amazing!]

Although every game was tough, Qishu, who went all out today, achieved a rare ten-game winning streak.

Just one more shot, just one more shot to advance to the advanced level and let the audience see my true skill level!

With burning eyes fixed on the nearly full points bar, Qi Shu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Alright, let's end today's final battle with a perfect victory!"

If they can reach that place, it will be a victory for Kiju-sama!
With a heart full of excitement, Qi Shu opened the matchmaking with trembling hands, secretly praying that he would be matched with an easy opponent in the promotion match.

The matching gears began to turn slowly, and after the metallic sound of friction lingered for three and a half revolutions, the pointer came to an abrupt halt.

The moment he saw his opponent's ID, Kiki's eyes widened instinctively.

Trainer ID: Azure Feather!
Like himself, there is also an official certification in small print below: Sunshine Gym Leader of Padia.

What a small world! I never expected to run into you so soon!
Qishu was surprised by how quickly this potential opponent had climbed the ranks, reaching the Super Ball rank in just two days.

But at the same time, I am also making progress!

Moreover, if I can beat him, does that mean I'm actually stronger than him?

In this way, they might actually gain a huge number of fans!

Ok……

Now we have a reason not to lose!
It's Monday! Please click to follow along tomorrow, the follow-up data on Tuesday will determine whether we can advance to the next round this week qwq
