"My brothers, I won't be using my main account. It's too hard to find matches at 2500 points. One game there is enough time for me to do two teaching matches.
Ling Yun explained into the microphone.
"More importantly, playing in those top-tier matches, the pace is too fast and there are too many details. It might not be suitable for teaching. So, I specifically prepared a 'teaching account' around 1200 points to show you all how to 'climb ranks scientifically' in this tier!"
[Teaching account? More like a smurf account! The streamer is exposed!]
[Waiting for a flop! If he flops, he'll send out red envelopes!]
[S God's teaching match, the small bench is ready!]
Ling Yun didn't explain further and directly clicked to start matching.
He played very seriously, explaining his thought process as he operated: "Notice here, the enemy jungler has appeared. We can push this lane with confidence... Look at this position, using vision to set up an ambush has a high success rate... Remember, in lower tiers, rotations are more important than mechanics..."
His gameplay was fluid and his awareness was clear. Even at 1200 points, he was delivering a crushing blow.
Several hours later...
"Alright brothers, time's about up."
Ling Yun glanced at the scoreboard—a sea of green "Victory" icons, and his rank had climbed to around 1800 points.
"The rank has improved a bit, but the opponents' strength is still limited. The teaching effect might not be as obvious as it was initially. Just bear with it, the main thing is to understand the strategy."
[This is called 'bearing with it'? Streamer, you call this 'bearing with it'?]
[Oh my god, he really didn't lose a single game! This efficiency...]
[Learned it, learned it. I'm going to practice in the 1800 point bracket now (and feed)!]
[Newcomers asking, is the streamer always this 'humble'? (doge)]
[The streamer is genuinely strong, watching this win streak gives me goosebumps.]
"That's all for climbing ranks today. I'll chat with you all for a bit before ending the stream and answer some questions."
Ling Yun relaxed, leaning back in his chair.
[Streamer is slacking off! What happened to the top three in the peak rankings? (shrug)]
"Interested in a talent streamer?" Ling Yun saw the comments and played along, "As long as the bosses dare to tip, I dare to perform! One Carnival gift unlocks the streamer's hidden talents!"
[What kind of streamer?]
[Talent streamer! He admitted it! He's a talent streamer!]
[The scummy streamer finally revealed his true colors! Trying to scam us!]
[Brothers, let's crowdfund a Carnival gift for him to perform a headstand while washing his hair!]
The stream's popularity steadily climbed amidst the relaxed atmosphere and the lingering afterglow of the win streak, breaking the 100,000 mark.
Just then, a dazzling entry special effect lit up, followed by a prominent gift notification:
["Douyin Live" gifted streamer "S of Honor of Kings" Douyin Number One ×1!]
The entire stream instantly exploded:
[Holy crap!!! Official account???]
[Am I seeing this right? Douyin Live is personally gifting? The prestige is off the charts!]
[S God is amazing! Officially certified!]
[We're witnessing history, brothers! Screenshot, screenshot!]
"Thank you! Thank you 'Douyin Live' for the Douyin Number One! Thank you for the official recognition and support!"
Ling Yun was also a bit surprised but quickly reacted, thanking them solemnly.
This "endorsement" from the platform held far more significance than the gift's value itself.
Afterward, various smaller gifts also started appearing more frequently. However, the "Carnival" gift Ling Yun was waiting for hadn't appeared yet.
Suddenly, the screen was repeatedly dominated by brilliant Carnival gift effects!
["Cloud Emerging in Clear Sky" gifted streamer "S of Honor of Kings" Carnival ×10!]
[What the heck! A rich lady! A live rich lady!]
[Ten Carnivals! The boss is too generous!]
[Boss is amazing! Boss, make a request! Don't let the scummy streamer get away with it for free!]
[@Cloud Emerging in Clear Sky Boss, quickly make him show his special skill!]
Seeing this ID, and recalling Jiang Yingqing's mysterious demeanor and blushing reaction earlier that day, Ling Yun immediately understood.
Cloud—Ling Yun, Clear Sky—Jiang Yingqing, "Cloud Emerging in Clear Sky," this ID couldn't be more obvious!
"Thank you 'Cloud Emerging in Clear Sky' boss for the ten Carnivals! Boss is generous, wishing the boss eternal youth and beauty!"
Ling Yun thanked with a smile, then changed the subject, with a hint of teasing, "Boss, do you and I... know each other? This name, does it have a story?"
The comments instantly ignited with gossip:
[Something's up! Definitely something's up!]
[Real-life acquaintance? No wonder you're so generous with your gifts!]
[@Cloud Emerging in Clear Sky Boss, answer quickly! Is she the streamer's girlfriend?]
[@Cloud Emerging in Clear Sky Is the streamer handsome in real life? Is he a different person offline?]
On the other end, Jiang Yingqing's face flushed crimson when Ling Yun directly called her out and saw the comments egging them on. She hesitated for a moment before typing in the comment box:
[Um... we know each other. He's very handsome.]
[Case closed! Real-life acquaintance + rich woman's seal of approval for handsomeness!]
[Ahhh! I want to see it even more now! Streamer, show your face!]
[No point thinking about it upstairs, you'll see the streamer's face in three years at the earliest.]
[Brothers, follow the streamer! When he finally shows his face, you'll be the first to know!]
Under the dual stimulus of official gifts and the rich woman's endorsement, Ling Yun's follower count surged again, breaking through 1.3 million.
"Alright, thank you for your support, bosses. So, boss 'Cloud Emerging in Clear Sky,' what talent would you like to see?"
Ling Yun was confident for a reason. He hadn't slept properly for the past few days, having learned a lot of talents online.
He had studied singing techniques, piano, guitar, and dancing, among other things. Coupled with Top-tier Comprehension, Ling Yun would now claim to be second to none on Earth in these skills.
Of course, the guitar was the only instrument he bought online recently; he didn't have any other instruments at home, but that didn't stop him from mastering them all.
Jiang Yingqing was also curious about what else Ling Yun could do besides gaming. She thought for a moment and commented:
[Sing a song.]
"No problem!" Ling Yun picked up the guitar he had prepared nearby and adjusted the microphone position. "As per boss's request, I'll present to you all... um, a song I came up with myself, called Blue and White Porcelain. I hope you'll bear with me if it's not sung well."
He shamelessly claimed the "original" work without batting an eye.
Ling Yun wouldn't be like those brain-dead protagonists in some novels who, while thinking themselves noble, denied their own work and then used those songs to make money.
He didn't think that way at all. Why not copy if you can? In this world, if it wasn't his, whose could it be?
Moreover, even without the songs from his previous life, he could have created even better ones.
This was the power of Top-tier Comprehension. As long as he was given some basic theoretical knowledge, he could even create a cultivation technique from scratch, let alone a song.
He simply didn't want to waste time.
[Is the streamer trying to create some drama again?]
[Haha, you're claiming it's original now. If what you say is true, I'll directly run five fans at full speed later.]
[The person upstairs is something else. I hope the streamer delivers, I want to witness it.]
"I've noted down this netizen named Feiwu Beiliya. I hope you'll keep your word later." Ling Yun smiled and singled him out, then his fingers began to strum the strings.
A clear guitar intro with an ancient charm flowed out.
"The plain embryo is outlined with the thick and then light strokes of the blue and white brush..." Ling Yun began, his voice clear and gentle, carrying a unique flavor. Even more remarkably, he subtly infused a trace of pure mental power into his singing.
The song entered the ears of the viewers in the livestream, as if imbued with magic. Most of the audience in the stream involuntarily conjured images in their minds:
A piece of Blue and White Porcelain, from the rough sketch by the artisan's hand, enduring the mists of time and the tempering of the kiln, finally completing its eternal form with self-contained beauty.
The entire livestream fell into a brief silence, as if everyone was still immersed in the beautiful artistic conception constructed by the song. Immediately after, the comments exploded like a breached dam:
[!!!!!!]
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! My ears are pregnant!]
[This... is this really original??? These lyrics and melody... it's divine!]
[Did I... just see Blue and White Porcelain appear before my eyes? Did you guys?]
[Yes!!! I did too! Super clear visual imagery! Like watching a movie!]
[Me too! I've never experienced this listening to songs before! This song by the streamer is addictive!]
[This infectivity... it's incredible! Streamer, did you secretly put a charm on us? (Shocked)]
[@Feiwu Beiliya Brother! Are the fans ready? Do you need crowdfunding?]
'Feiwu Beiliya' immediately capitulated:
[S God! I was wrong! I was possessed by another idiot from a parallel universe! Please be magnanimous! The fans... the fans don't deserve this! (Crazy head-banging.gif)]
Seeing Beiliya back down, the livestream was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
At the same time, many netizens were asking why such images were appearing in their minds.
