There were no surprises in this game. The enemy Jarvan IV and Pantheon in the bot lane were completely crushed. Yang Ling used his Cho’Gath to roam top and set the tempo twice, and the game ended immediately after they secured the Rift Herald.

By the time the match concluded, the popularity of Chu Siyin’s stream had reached 200,000, a direct doubling of her previous numbers!

“Ding! You have fulfilled Chu Siyin’s wish for increased stream popularity. Wish Value +1. Current progress: 7/10.”

Chu Siyin’s face beamed like a flower. She insisted on pulling Yang Ling into another duo queue session. The bullet comments were flooded with requests for Yang Ling to stay; one wealthy viewer even promised to send a Rocket for every game they played.

Yang Ling already had his own plans, and since he had nothing else to do anyway, he agreed to keep playing.

“Ding! You have fulfilled Chu Siyin’s wish. Current progress: 8/10…”

Sometimes, Wish Value was just that easy to earn.

In the following games, Yang Ling played LeBlanc, Gangplank, and Yasuo, switching his role from support to mid lane.

With two major skills active, never mind Diamond-tier players; even professional players would only find themselves being stomped if they crossed paths with him.

Across three games, he racked up a total of over seventy kills. He executed various high-skill maneuvers and brilliant predictions at least ten times, playing so aggressively that his opponents felt their scalps go numb with fear.

The 666s in the bullet comments never stopped. In just over an hour, Chu Siyin received eight Rockets, five of which were sent by that user, A Ling’s Little Fangirl.

The entire stream was in a state of high excitement. The demands for Yang Ling to show his face or start his own streaming channel were deafening, with viewers promising even more Rockets in exchange.

Ultimately, Yang Ling couldn’t withstand the audience’s passion. He promised that once the Gaokao was over, he would stream together with Chu Siyin, though he wouldn’t be on every day and his schedule wouldn’t be fixed.

Chu Siyin was so happy her eyes crinkled into crescents. Thanks to Yang Ling, her stream’s popularity was growing at an exponential rate. In a single night, she had earned at least 50,000 yuan in gift revenue alone.

Yang Ling also successfully obtained another point of Wish Value. With his progress now at 9/10, he would soon be able to make another wish.

After playing several matches in a row, perhaps due to the excessive use of his skills, Yang Ling felt a bit lightheaded. After letting Chu Siyin know, he went to take a shower and headed straight to bed.

He fell into an exceptionally deep sleep…

The next morning, although Yang Ling was still dreaming, he keenly detected the sound of footsteps in his room. He snapped his eyes open and, seeing it was Chu Siyin, let out a small sigh of relief.

He then asked irritably, “Don’t you know it’s rude to enter someone else’s room without permission?”

Chu Siyin looked at him with an expression full of envy. “Forget about that! A Ling, your luck has arrived! The managers from the PT and CMG clubs contacted me first thing this morning.”

“After seeing your performance yesterday, they want you to come out for a trial…”

Yang Ling was slightly stunned for a moment, but then a faint smile played across his lips.

Accompanying Chu Siyin on the stream last night hadn’t been a random whim; he had his own objectives.

He didn’t want to become a professional player, but he did want to use his Gaming Mastery to make money.

He smiled faintly and said, “Tell the two managers that the Gaokao is approaching and I don’t want to be distracted.”

“Can we talk about everything after my Gaokao is finished?”

Through their previous chats, Chu Siyin knew Yang Ling was a student. She nodded upon hearing his words, then suddenly said, “Oh right, your little fangirl sent six Rockets to you yesterday. I’ll transfer the money to you once it hits my account.”

Yang Ling looked at the young beauty and nodded inwardly.

A gentleman loves wealth but obtains it in a proper way.

The fact that she proactively brought this up proved she wasn’t the type of girl to take advantage of petty gains.

Yang Ling gave a relaxed smile. “I heard that your gift money is settled every six months? You just started streaming, so let’s talk about this later.”
