[Esports] Team Leader Xie, your mid laner is causing trouble again.

Xie Jichuan raised an eyebrow, walked over, and put the bag in his hand aside.

Before he could even speak, Li Zhi had already stood up and quickly made room for him.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him, like two black grapes soaked in water, eagerly waiting for him to take over this mess.

Xie Jichuan thought that no one could resist Li Zhi's gaze.

Without saying a word, he immediately sat down.

His gaze swept across the screen, and after clearly seeing that the hero in the game was Xiao, Xie Jichuan's lips curled up subtly.

Long, slender fingers touched the keyboard and mouse, and the operation began as if by muscle memory.

His movements were fluid and seamless, as if the hero had already permeated his consciousness.

In his hands, the owl was no longer a headless chicken running around aimlessly, but a true raptor spreading its wings, deftly stealing the first blue buff from the enemy jungler.

While operating the system, Xie Jichuan quickly scanned the overall situation by opening the economic panel.

Then, after seeing Li Zhi's equipment build, Xie Jichuan couldn't help but chuckle out loud:

"The current meta for Owl is to use an armor penetration build."

He glanced at Li Zhi, unable to suppress the smile in his eyes. "You built half armor penetration items, then suddenly switched to attack speed items. What kind of innovation is that?"

Standing to the side, Li Zhi knew she was losing face, and mumbled a defiant remark in a low voice:

"I'm broke, so I can't deal any damage, and my auto-attacks on jungle monsters are too slow... I'm thinking of buying an attack speed item to speed things up, that's a great idea."

Xie Jichuan nodded solemnly, his expression appearing exceptionally sincere:

"It's a very unique approach. We might be able to use it during the match to catch the opponent completely off guard."

"Xie Jichuan!"

Li Zhi, enraged, punched him on the shoulder. "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and win! The comments are all laughing at me!"

The force of the fist landing on the shoulder was light and airy, like a tickle.

Xie Jichuan remained motionless, a deep vibration emanating from his chest. A chuckle rolled out of his throat, his voice languid:

"Yes, ma'am."

He began to systematically farm jungle camps and gank at his own pace.

In just a few minutes, they recovered all the losses and economic deficit that Li Zhi had caused, and the situation was visibly stabilized.

The chat couldn't stay still and started chattering away.

【Wait, hasn't this been changed?】

Why is the streamer suddenly silent? Something's fishy.

[Just wondering, are there any River fans here? Why does this playstyle and strategy seem exactly like River's the more I watch it...?]

[The person upstairs ordered it too, I feel the same way.]

[Lychee fans, stop pretending. Don't try to ride on my idol R's popularity.]

Indeed, how could R-God possibly be playing games for this scumbag?

Xie Jichuan glanced at the comments briefly, his hands continuing to operate, but his tone became indifferent:

"How do I kick someone out of the live stream?"

Li Zhi was leaning against the back of the chair watching him operate the device, and blinked in confusion upon hearing this:

"You're still watching the comments? Don't worry about them, they're the ones cursing me, not you."

Xie Jichuan's lips tightened into a thin line.

He glanced at Li Zhi, his gaze even carrying a hint of pressure, and repeated himself in a low voice:

"Tell me, how do you kick it?"

Li Zhi had never been looked at like that by Xie Jichuan before, and he felt inexplicably guilty, scratching his head:

"Just right-click on the comment and select 'Kick'."

Xie Jichuan nodded.

Taking advantage of the moment he was crouching on the grass, he swiped through the list of comments and accurately found the one that said Li Zhi was a "rotten person".

He kicked out with the right mouse button in one smooth motion, without even blinking.

Before Li Zhi could even see what the comment said, the person had already disappeared from the live stream.

Li Zhi: "..."

Seeing that Xie Jichuan seemed genuinely angry, he hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered words of comfort:

"They insulted you? It's okay, they don't know you're just playing around. Just pretend they're insulting me, there's no need to get angry..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xie Jichuan glanced at her from the side.

The emotions in his eyes were complex, including helplessness, annoyance, and an inexplicable heartache.

Seeing Li Zhi's indifferent attitude, as if he didn't care how others scolded him, he became even more furious.

"Don't speak."

Xie Jichuan put on his headphones and refocused his attention on the screen, tapping the keyboard with a bit more force than before.

Li Zhi said "Oh" and obediently shut her mouth.

He's just whispering to himself, how petty! He gets angry over a few insults in the comments.

The situation became increasingly clear under Xie Jichuan's control.

Xiao's economy has surged to the top of the entire game, and once his equipment is complete, his damage output is explosive, killing anyone he encounters.

Xie Jichuan even started invading the enemy jungle, ruthlessly stealing the enemy jungler's red and blue buffs, acting like a bandit.

Li Zhi, who was leaning back in her chair watching with great interest, couldn't resist lifting Xie Jichuan's headphones slightly and whispering her complaint:

"Steal another blue buff from him; he just stole three from me."

Warm air seeped in through the gaps in the earphones and brushed against Xie Jichuan's ears.

A tiny patch of skin instantly tingled with a fine, ticklish sensation, as if brushed lightly by a feather. The tingling sensation spread from the earlobe all the way down to the back of the neck, and then tingled along the entire spine.

Xie Jichuan's finger trembled, and he pressed the punishment button too late.

The blue buff that was within reach was stolen back by the enemy jungler with a precise Smite.

The owl's hands were empty; only a wisp of stolen blue light lingered on the screen for a fleeting moment.

Xie Jichuan: "..."

Li Zhi, completely unaware of what she had done, was still peeking at the screen from the side: "Hey, how did it get stolen?"

The viewers in the live chat were relieved.

[Incredible! They managed to steal this; looks like they didn't change players.]

The familiar wild turtle is back.

[Phew. It's okay, streamer. Even if you really become the top player in the Chinese server, we'll still be happy for you.]

[Really? You must have been grinding your teeth to dust when the streamer was dominating the game just now.]

[Seeing through something but not saying it is also a virtue.]

Amidst the bustling barrage of comments, a large, colorful comment flashed by, seemingly from a die-hard River fan.

[Stop trying to bait people. If River can pull off a move like that, I'll eat him upside down.]

The special effects are so dazzling that it's hard not to notice them.

It was indeed Xie Jichuan who was typing: "..."

His career was under unprecedented attack. He coughed lightly and focused even more intently on the game.

Five minutes later, the team advanced to the enemy's crystal.

Only Xie Jichuan glanced at the newly spawned blue buff, then resolutely turned and walked into the jungle.

[Your teammates are all engaged in team fights, what are you doing, Lychee?]

[Is that blue one absolutely necessary? We've already pushed all the way to the crystal!]

Xie Jichuan remained indifferent.

After consuming the blue buff, he flew back. Just as both sides had used up all their skills, he cleanly and efficiently finished off the enemy and then destroyed their crystal.

【Victory!】

As the victory effect lit up, Xie Jichuan took off his headphones and turned to look at Li Zhi. The light from the screen reflected in his eyes, illuminating a faint smile.

Alpha's tone was nonchalant, yet subtly carried a hint of self-satisfaction:

"Three blue ones, that's revenge for you."
