National destiny: Global tower climbing skills have decreased by 10,000 times.

Ye Fei decided to help him.

Even if you can't go to the competition yourself, taking on a disciple to participate is a good option.

He patted Lin Xi on the shoulder, and Lin Xi turned around and looked at him, at a loss for what to do.

"I can help you."

Lin Xi blinked, as if she hadn't heard clearly.

"I can help you win that qualifying round. If you're willing, I can guarantee you a spot."

Lin Xi was taken aback and asked with some doubt, "Really?"

Ye Fei said, "Really, as long as you do as I say, I guarantee you can become a contestant in the local competition."

Lin Xi seemed a little excited, but quickly suppressed it: "But even if you are very good, the gap between me and the outstanding students in the class is already very large."

"With only one week left, no matter how much I improve, I can't possibly catch up with them."

Ye Fei remained resolute and continued, "A week is enough. If you do as I say, you'll not only catch up with your classmates—"

"It's more than enough to surpass them all."

Lin Xi was surprised. He had never thought that he could surpass those outstanding classmates who were both talented and hardworking.

Looking at the stranger in front of me, I felt a mix of doubt and unwavering trust.

"Really? Uncle, are you sure you're not just kidding me?"

"Of course it's true. Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet..." Ye Fei said, taking out his phone, which showed his battle record for the day.

"Look." Lin Xi leaned over to take a look and was shocked—the malfunctioning robot A9. He had never seen anyone reach such a high level of advancement before.

"W-W-W-Is this for real? Uncle, you're amazing! Are you a professional gamer too?"

Ye Fei was worried about how to explain, but seeing that the child believed him, he simply pretended to be mysterious as well:

"Oh yes, but I've already retired, and now I just play for fun at home."

At this point, Ye Fei remembered "Xing Yuan" and decided to adopt Xing Yuan's character design.

"So I hope you won't reveal my identity. If anyone asks, please keep it a secret, okay?"

Lin Xi immediately nodded, indicating that she "understood".

"Okay, I understand! I'll definitely keep it a secret!"

"Uncle, which contestant are you? I don't even know your name!"

Ye Fei thought for a moment, then blurted out:

"My name is Stardust, but because of some things, this name can no longer be found online."

"But my surname is Ye. If you'd like, you can call me 'Teacher Ye' from now on."

"Yes, Teacher Ye."

Ye Fei pulled him to his feet, preparing to visit his home.

"Lin Xi, if you want to become my disciple, you must remember three rules."

Lin Xi said sincerely, "Teacher, I will definitely remember what you say."

"First rule: as my student, you must keep my identity a secret. You are not allowed to tell anyone else about what I teach you, except your parents."

Lin Xi nodded.

"Secondly, after becoming my student, you can no longer talk back to your parents or coaches; you must listen to them."

"Otherwise, I will no longer acknowledge you as my student."

Lin Xi nodded again: "As long as you can be my teacher, I will definitely listen to them."

Ye Fei continued, "The third rule is that you must not leak what I teach you."

"You are not allowed to tell the coach, your classmates, or share this with anyone online. The coach is also not allowed to see you during class."

Upon hearing that they couldn't be seen by the coach in the classroom, Lin Xi scratched her head: "This...this is a bit difficult..."

"But... I'll try my best!"

Ye Fei was very satisfied: "Very good. If you can agree to these three points, I will formally accept you as my disciple. From now on, you will have one hour every day at this time to ask me questions."

"I'll be waiting for you at home. Just knock on the door and I'll come over. But remember, you have to come on your own, bring your laptop, and no one else."

"Once you're here, you must listen to me, train diligently, and never slack off. Can you do that?"

Lin Xi suddenly became serious, stood up straight, and spoke firmly:

"Yes, Teacher Ye! I will certainly follow your teachings!"

……

Ye Fei discussed some details with him and then began to explain his thinking.

"Lin Xi, I'm asking you, have you ever played Silent Hunter?"

Lin Xi thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm... I've played a few rounds, but I felt really weak, so I haven't played much."

Ye Fei continued, "So you know that your approach isn't suited for playing with faulty robots, but is very well-suited for playing with hunters?"

Lin Xi shook his head. Ye Fei continued, "Your approach is a typical 'small deck streamlined cycle' strategy. This isn't the strength of the glitch robot, but rather a Hunter's specialty."

"What if I told you I'd teach you how to play Hunter and beat all the malfunctioning robots in your class? What would you say?"

Lin Xi seemed somewhat surprised. He unconditionally trusted his teacher, but he found it hard to accept.

"This... isn't that a bit inappropriate? If I play as the hunter, wouldn't I have to start all over again?"

"Besides, nobody here plays the Hunter class. If you secretly play it, the coach will scold you. Anyway, I don't really want to play it."

Ye Fei looked at him with some resistance. He knew what playing the hunter meant in this world, and this method seemed a bit too far-fetched for him.

Moreover, it's true that there's only one week to teach him how to play Hunter from scratch. The risk is too great, after all, there's too much difference between him and the people in this world, and he's not sure if he can really teach others well.

Given his situation, teaching him to play with faulty robots would be the best option, but that brings us back to the original problem.

Right, get it running!

As long as it can function, who says robots can only play big decks?

He remembered a strategy guide he had read before he transmigrated, which included a gameplay style called "state machine". As long as the deck is in place and streamlined enough, it can be used in an infinite loop!

This fighting style left a deep impression on him, and he tried it many times. Just a few days ago, he used this approach in his duel with "Xingyuan".

If we teach him this technique, it won't attract attention from others because of his other roles, and it will also suit his thinking and learning foundation, thus solving the problem.

Ye Fei finalized the plan and confidently told him:

"Alright, then I'll teach you about faulty robots, a completely new strategy called 'state machines,' how about that?"

"State machine?" Lin Xi muttered to himself twice. He had never heard of this term before, but it sounded very impressive.

"That's right, it's a state machine, which means a small deck strategy that mainly relies on the cycle of state cards. This deck doesn't need to calculate ratios or averages; it relies entirely on the interaction between cards."

Lin Xi's eyes widened as she heard these descriptions, and she happily grabbed Ye Fei's arm.

"That's great! So this kind of play really exists? I always thought it didn't exist."

"Yes, that's right, there is such a strategy, but it's not as simple as you think."

"Although it doesn't require calculation, it requires more understanding than other playing styles. If you don't have high comprehension and don't think carefully, you won't be able to grasp this kind of thinking."

Lin Xi nodded several times, then tugged at Ye Fei:

"Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely study hard. As long as you can teach me this playing style, I will learn it no matter what!"

Ye Fei looked at the excited young man and was very satisfied. With his talent, understanding this fighting style would be no problem for him. He was just saying this to see his attitude.

It now seems that Lin Xi trusts Ye Fei quite a bit, and he has gradually gained confidence in Lin Xi as well.

The next step was to win over his parents. Once they agreed, his first formal apprentice would be considered a disciple.

"Oh, right, I'd like to add one more rule."

Ye Fei suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Xi.

"Once I teach you this technique, you shouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary."
