Chapter Fifty-Four: Teaching Uzzi to Play Visual Novels

"Uzi, want to swap lanes? Should I head mid and play Yasuo? I’d like to go bot, walk the lane with the Poetess, and after the match, I’ll give you my friend slot."

The moment these words appeared, everyone who saw them paused in astonishment.

Show-off.

This was showing off to an outrageous degree.

These sentences—more pretentious than the old chess player from a while ago.

Yet in Bai Qingming’s own streaming room, his viewers didn’t think much of it.

No way, really? Is anyone taking this seriously, thinking the Bachelor Godfather actually has the skills to back it up?

Viewers unanimously agreed Bai Qingming was only saying this for entertainment. Given his persona, they weren’t surprised at all, just enjoying the spectacle.

Some even felt an itch to send gifts just to mock him.

Meanwhile, in Uzi and Poetess’s streaming rooms, the two hosts reacted quite differently.

“This guy says he’ll give me a friend slot after the match, guys, someone actually wants to give me a friend slot.”

Uzi laughed like a three-hundred-pound child.

Usually, when gaming, it’s others begging for his friend slot. To have someone so brazenly offer him one—Bai Qingming was the first.

“Not bad, this guy’s interesting,” Uzi muttered to himself.

Originally, seeing Poetess in the match, he’d already planned to quickly drop out. But after reading Bai Qingming’s message, that intention mysteriously vanished.

Compared to the other two teammates who were frantically flattering him for a friend slot, Bai Qingming’s distinct words thoroughly caught his attention.

Almost as if guided by fate, Uzi relinquished his lane and pre-selected the Joyful Windman.

Worst case, he’d lose a round, but playing with someone like this should be pretty fun.

And Uzi had a feeling—maybe this round, his Windman could actually carry.

But after glancing at Poetess’s game ID, Uzi sighed.

Forget it, winning doesn’t matter; fun is more important.

...

At that moment.

Inside Poetess’s streaming room, she was exclaiming excitedly.

“Wow, wow, wow, this guy is definitely a real man!”

In an instant, Poetess’s heart was captured by the one who said he’d walk the lane with her.

Sob, sob, so touching.

Thirty-two matches! She finally got into a game, and there was even a younger brother saying he’d help her win.

Though many kings before had offered to help her win, none showed confidence like Bai Qingming.

He’s the definition of a real man!

...

Seeing Uzi give up his lane, Bai Qingming didn’t hesitate and swiftly locked in Vayne.

Everyone knew—Vayne was Uzi’s signature champion.

The streaming room erupted in astonishment.

"Playing Vayne in front of Uzi? Showing off your swordplay before Guan Yu?"

"Haha, is Bachelor Godfather planning to teach Uzi how to play Vayne?"

"I get it now, the Spiritual Leader is just ready to throw caution to the wind."

"The streamer is digging his own grave—meeting Poetess is one thing, but if Uzi plays bot there might be a chance; now Uzi’s picked Yasuo, it’s harder than ever. If they win, I’ll eat dirt."

"I'm with you upstairs. By the way, did anyone find that guy who promised to eat dirt live last time but didn’t?"

...

Soon, the game began.

Bai Qingming’s team composition:

Top lane: Riven (random player), Jungle: Lee Sin (random player), Mid: Uzi’s Yasuo, Bot: Vayne with Poetess’s Lulu.

"Brothers, hold steady, jungler come mid more often, I’ll try to carry," Uzi typed as they entered the game.

Honestly, he was happier playing Yasuo than ADC.

As for Bai Qingming’s earlier words, Uzi just assumed he was showing off.

These days, taking things seriously means losing.

But just then, Bai Qingming began typing:

"Uzi, light a cigarette. Before the ash drops, I’ll claim first blood!"

"Dude, you’re too wild!" Uzi couldn’t help but reply.

Honestly, even the Demon King wasn’t this cocky.

But just as Uzi sent his message—

"First blood!"

"Double kill!"

Two game notifications sounded, and an unbelievable event unfolded.

Vayne double kill!

At that moment, the entire audience was stunned.

"Holy crap, no way—starting with a double kill, is the enemy team actors?"

"Bachelor Godfather, 666—no wonder he dares to come to the Summit, he must’ve hired actors!"

"Actors? Does Bachelor Godfather even need actors? Don’t slander the Spiritual Leader, please!"

...

On the other side, Uzi recovered and explained to his stream:

"Watch closely, this Vayne took attack speed overflow for runes and learned W at level one."

"The enemy ADC didn’t react at all—after two auto attacks realized something was off, tried to flash but it was too late, plus Lulu’s E, so Vayne took the double kill."

"This Vayne isn’t following the usual rune setup, caught the enemy off guard. Honestly, it’s pretty impressive."

After Uzi’s explanation, everyone understood.

Perhaps because of the double kill, their jungler started paying more attention to bot lane.

Eight minutes in, Bai Qingming and Poetess were ganked by the enemy jungler. Almost as soon as the enemy appeared in vision, Riven’s teleport lit up, Spider and Yasuo arrived in quick succession.

Though the enemy team joined the fight one after another, Bai Qingming’s side ended up wiping them out, losing only their top laner.

Vayne’s score now: 6-0-2.

...

After the teamfight, viewers were thrilled.

"Brothers, this Vayne is really good."

After this, Uzi couldn’t stop praising Bai Qingming.

Honestly, anyone could see Vayne’s skill.

Meanwhile—

Bai Qingming was secretly delighted.

This top-tier gaming talent was simply incredible.

He took back what he’d said before; his current skill was not just on par with high-ranked players—frankly, Bai Qingming felt he was a full rank above them.

Over the next ten minutes, Bai Qingming racked up kills and farm, his mechanics and awareness flawless, giving the enemy no opportunities.

But the problem is, League of Legends is a team game. Bai Qingming gave no openings, but that didn’t mean his teammates could match his level.

The enemy, after all, were kings—not bronze or silver.

At 25 minutes, their jungler, Spider, was surrounded in the jungle by five enemies. Riven rushed to help but ended up dying for nothing. Uzi’s Yasuo could have safely retreated.

But at that moment, Uzi’s Yasuo threw out a whirlwind.

"Hasaki!"

Instantly, five dashed lines appeared on the screen.

That whirlwind knocked up all five enemies.

Yasuo’s ultimate on five targets—a dream for any Yasuo player, even Uzi.

"Pain, give them pain!"

Without thinking, Uzi dove in with his ult.

Losing the game wasn’t a big deal, but being stylish lasts a lifetime.

This is the romance of men!

And then he was done for.

The enemy side had all five alive, nearly full health, minion waves in their favor, ready to end the game.

On Uzi’s side, only Bai Qingming’s Vayne remained.

Could it be... they were about to lose?

Just then, music began playing in Bai Qingming’s streaming room.

"What’s going on? Why is there BGM?"

Viewers paused in confusion.

On camera, Bai Qingming’s lips curled into a smile.

"Let’s hunt those lost in the darkness!"

Without hesitation, he activated his ultimate and charged forward, weaving through with flawless movement.

Dodging, sidestepping, flashing, cleansing!

Like a phantom, Bai Qingming manipulated Vayne, slipping in and out of invisibility.

"Hit them, Q!"

One versus five—Pentakill!

At that moment, the entire audience rose to their feet!
