“Mhm, I can hear you.”

Xiao Ran quickly pulled himself back to reality from his imaginative thoughts and put on his headphones before replying.

“Host isn't being nice. Hurry up and put it on loudspeaker mode. We want to hear Baby's voice!”

“Host shouldn't be mean or you would be struck by lightning!”

“Host, if you do this, your future generations shall be cut off!”

“I protest! If you continue doing this, I want my refund!!!”

Xiao Ran didn't even bother about the feedback from the viewers. For a person who placed a priority on the opposite s.e.x more than brothers, this was a choice between Baby and the viewers. Was there even a need for a choice?

This was simply a giveaway question!

But Xiao Ran was rather kind and he didn't really like to wear headphones too. Hence, he adjusted the volume to the highest and hung the headphone on his neck.

“I'm not too good at this game, I hope you can take care for me okay?”

“Mhm, I know, it's fine.”

“…” Baby was speechless for a moment. “Erm, this match is my advancement match.”

“No worries, I am very formidable!”

“I saw that you played Zed very well. Are you most adept at playing mid lane?”

“Nope, I am incredible at every position!”

“…”

In the streaming room, Xiao Ran's boastful way of speaking had induced a wave of disputes, but Xiao Ran chose to ignore it.

I am talking the absolute truth okay!?

During this period of time, Xiao Ran had played every position. Due to the system increasing his skills, he could be a carry player in every position. There wasn't even a need to ask which position was he was most proficient at.

“Then, why don't you play support for me?” Baby pleaded.

Xiao Ran responded with an ‘erm' for a moment and replied in a weak voice, “This… isn't good right? Isn't this your advancement match? We should play something with more certainty.”

“…”

Ahhhhhh!!!

Baby switched off her microphone and lashed out.

This boy is definitely a rarely seen exotic flower!!!

There wasn't anything special during the Ban phase. Since most of the players were already at the Platinum tier, they had immediately banned all the current meta champions.

(TL note: Meta meaning current most trending and mostly used champions)

It was the Pick phase afterwards.

Baby was at the fifth slot while Xiao Ran was at the third slot.

The first slot player immediately picked Orianna. This was a mid lane champion that was regularly picked. All mid lane players would train themselves in this guaranteed champion.

The second slow player immediately picked Nautilus for top lane.

When it was time for Xiao Ran to make a pick, he instantly picked a champion for jungling. Doing so would also mean to giveaway the support role to the fourth slot.

But after Xiao Ran picked his champion, Baby's voice echoed from the headphone again, "Are you playing ADC for this round?"

(TL note: ADC = Attack Damage Carry, it is a kind of champion which relies on normal attack and high physical damage)

Xiao Ran stared blankly for a moment and looked at his summoner spells to find out that they were all correct, "Nope, I am playing Jungler for this match."

"Jungler? You are using Twitch as a jungler?" Baby asked with surprise.

"That's right."

"Can it work?"

"Don't worry, my Jungler Twitch is very good!"

Baby wasn't the only one that didn't trust Xiao Ran, the rest of the teammates started to curse at Xiao Ran too.

"Jungler Twitch, bro, you must be joking!"

"Are you practicing a champion?"

"Third slot, you should play ADC, let the fourth or fifth slot play jungler."

Xiao Ran chose to ignore their doubts.

The streaming room was also bursting.

"Kun Shen, you are so mean, aren't you defrauding our Baby?!"

"Host, is your Jungler Twitch going to work?"

"I have watched Twitch jungling before. If the player is good, they can really carry the game!"

"What kind of match is that? This is a Platinum tier match and it is a new season's Platinum tier match. There are plenty of previous season's Diamond tier experts who aren't lucky enough and got a.s.signed to the Platinum tier. Therefore, the start of this season has plenty of experts in the lower tiers and it is very hard to play!"

"Jungler Twitch will definitely be counter ganked by the opposition until rat s.h.i.+t comes out!"

"Twitch is a late-game type champion. If Twitch is playing jungle… I predict this match is going to result in a loss."

"Stop it. When have any of you watched Kun Shen lost?"

"I predict this will be the first loss. I feel sorry for Baby."

"Host, we can understand if you wish to please us with demagogy, but don't frame our Baby okay?"

Xiao Ran continued to ignore the criticism from this group of viewers who forgot loyalty when in love. He then started to choose his runes and masteries.

Baby was speechless for a moment. She definitely wouldn't hesitate to exit the game if this wasn't an advancement match and she would result in a loss if she left the game.

Her little heart truly couldn't afford to be ravaged by this host called 'Kun Shen'.

During the loading screen, Xiao Ran took a glance at the team composition of the two sides.

Allies: Top Nautilus, Mid Orianna, Jungle Twitch, Support Thrash, ADC Jinx.

Enemies: Top Darius, Mid Viktor, Jungle Lee Sin, Support Trundle, ADC Tristana.

Soon enough, this ranked match was going to start.

The in-game time was now 1 minute and 55 seconds. The jungle area was refreshed and Xiao Ran controlled his Twitch to start with the red buff. He called over Nautilus to help out in clearing the red buff.

Twitch quickly cleared the red buff and leveled up to level 2. Xiao Ran didn't choose to continue clearing the jungle creeps and headed to the river instead.

He conveniently used the [G.o.d's Vision Card].

"En?"

Baby was currently controlling her Jinx to take the last hits. She happened to see Twitch's movement on the minimap and couldn't help but got stunned.

"Is this Twitch going to start ganking at level 2?"

Just as Baby had this thought, she heard Xiao Ran giving an explanation to the viewers in the streaming room, "The reason why I started off with red buff instead of blue buff is that the level 2 Twitch has to go gank first. If a level 2 Twitch has red buff and coordinated well with the teammates, it will surely be able to get a kill."

"Oh, that's right, we have to get the kill. As everyone knows, Twitch is a late-game champion, thus, it isn't a sin to get the kills!"

As Xiao Ran spoke, he gave Nautilus a signal and asked Nautilus to have no concerns and attack.

Why did he ask Nautilus not to worry?

Because after the enemy's Lee Sin had cleared the red buff, he sprinted straight for mid lane. Even if he went to the top lane, if Xiao Ran coordinated well with Nautilus, they would still be able to take the First Blood off Darius who was pus.h.i.+ng the wave.

When Nautilus saw Xiao Ran's signal, he immediately cleared the wave and clashed with Darius.

Xiao Ran then gave a danger signal to the mid lane and activated the Q spell before heading to top lane.

Twitch's first level Q ability allowed Twitch to be invisible and during the invisible mode, he would obtain a 20% increase in movement speed. Moreover, upon revealing himself, Twitch would obtain a 30% increase in attack speed and would last for 5 seconds.

This ability was Twitch's best ability for ganking!

When Darius saw Nautilus clas.h.i.+ng hard, he didn't retreat and fought back instead.

Right at this moment, Xiao Ran's Twitch was sneaking over…
