Xia Nuannuan was unaccustomed to the environment of an internet cafe, being her first time.
However, sitting next to Qin Tian made her feel very secure.
After logging onto a computer with Qin Tian's guidance, she found a TV series and started watching.
Qin Tian, meanwhile, continued to dominate the Summoner's Rift.
Xu Hao, sitting beside them, would occasionally cheer loudly and shower Qin Tian with praise, attracting a lot of attention.
Other League of Legends players nearby, out of curiosity, came over to take a look.
But the moment they looked, they were captivated.
Before they knew it, a growing crowd had gathered behind the two of them.
Xia Nuannuan was somewhat socially anxious, and with so many people around, she started to feel a bit nervous.
She couldn't focus on the TV series anymore and turned her head to watch Qin Tian's computer screen along with the crowd.
"Holy crap, what kind of play was that? So cool!"
"How did that Ashe get kicked over? I'm stunned."
"Such a fast kick, the opponent didn't even have time to flash."
"A master, this is a master!"
"Damn, is Lee Sin this fierce? That combo took them down?"
"..."
After Qin Tian executed a spinning kick, seamlessly chaining his abilities and basic attacks to instantly kill the enemy Ashe, a group of addicted teenagers were completely conquered.
Listening to the praise and exclamations, Xia Nuannuan looked at Qin Tian's handsome profile with a hint of admiration.
Even though she didn't understand the game at all, hearing it made her very happy.
A man doing something with focus gains a charm bonus.
Even playing games is no different.
At this moment, in Xia Nuannuan's eyes, Qin Tian, with a confident smile on his face, was so captivating.
"Hey, hey, keep it down a bit. This is just basic operation for my master. What are you making a fuss about? Don't disturb Brother Tian's gameplay!"
Xu Hao, feeling proud, turned his head and reminded them.
"Brother Hao, does this Brother Tian take disciples?"
A young man with dyed yellow hair asked, his eyes shining.
Xu Hao casually glanced at him and said with a serious expression, "My master doesn't take just anyone. However, my master does account boosting."
"No disciples?"
The yellow-haired youth looked regretful and then asked, "What about the price for account boosting? How many ranks can you boost?"
Xu Hao didn't reply and looked at Qin Tian for an answer.
Qin Tian had also heard the conversation. He took off his headphones, turned to the yellow-haired youth, and said, "Five hundred yuan per hundred ranks. I can specify champions, guarantee an eighty percent win rate, and up to a maximum of two thousand ranks."
"Two thousand ranks?"
The yellow-haired youth's eyes widened in shock, disbelief etched on his face. "Don't kid me. That would put you in the top ten of the ladder."
"That's too exaggerated. Smile and Uzi only had over seventeen hundred ranks a few days ago, and you're saying two thousand."
"Lee Sin is played well, but you're bragging too much!"
"Exactly, stop trying to fool us. And this price is too expensive!"
"I don't believe it anyway."
"..."
Everyone voiced their doubts.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Qin Tian said indifferently, then turned back to continue playing.
"What are you guys talking nonsense for? If you don't believe it, get lost. Why are you still watching?"
Xu Hao angrily rebuked the crowd.
These people were mostly regulars at the internet cafe. They knew Xu Hao came from a wealthy family and was not to be trifled with. They didn't dare to speak up when he yelled, but naturally, they felt unconvinced.
However, what followed was Qin Tian using moves they could never have imagined, gradually dispelling their doubts.
They had all watched many tutorial videos, including those of professional players.
But absolutely no one could play Lee Sin as fluidly, as spectacularly, and as dazzlingly as Qin Tian.
There were two more consecutive games that lasted twenty minutes, described as massacres.
Qin Tian hadn't died once in either game and had achieved godlike status, with his stats being incredibly impressive.
"What now? Who else has something to say to me?"
Xu Hao's gaze swept over everyone with a smug, disdainful smile.
"Master, I don't play ranked games. Can I apprentice with you? How much does it cost per person?"
A young man asked Qin Tian with hopeful eyes.
"Yes, yes, I want to apprentice too! Teach me Lee Sin!"
"Me too, count me in."
"I'm at one thousand ranks now. Can you help me reach fifteen hundred? Also, can I apprentice?"
"..."
The crowd vied to be the first to ask, all wanting to become Qin Tian's disciples and learn his mastery of Lee Sin.
Nowadays, many skilled players offered courses and took apprentices, and the fees were not low.
"Apprenticeship is out of the question. I still have classes to attend, so I don't have much time to teach you all."
Qin Tian clicked to continue queuing and said to the crowd with a smile, "For those who want account boosting, you can sign up first. After I finish this current order, I'll proceed according to the queue."
"Master, master, I'm usually at this internet cafe. Let those who want boosting come to me, and I'll record it for you."
Xu Hao said with a beaming smile.
"Okay, I'll trouble you then."
Qin Tian nodded with a smile.
This way, it saved him a lot of trouble.
"Wait a moment, I'll go find some paper and a pen."
Xu Hao got up and left.
Soon, he returned with a pen and a small notebook.
"Come, come, those who want account boosting, come over. Pay half the deposit first! You can pay the rest after the order is completed."
Xu Hao shouted loudly.
"Huh? You want half the deposit? I don't have that much money on me!"
Someone frowned and said.
"Then come back tomorrow with the money. Anyway, I'll record it in the order that deposits are paid, first come, first served. Also, for those who reach an agreement, Brother Tian will impart some skills if he has time."
Xu Hao said calmly.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Brother Hao, I'm going back to get money right now."
"Me too, Brother Hao, please ask Brother Tian to wait for me, don't leave."
Several people made this declaration and then hurried back to get money.
Two of them paid their deposits on the spot, one for five hundred and the other for two hundred and fifty.
Xu Hao quickly recorded their names, boosting ranks, and requirements in the notebook.
Qin Tian once again pocketed seven hundred and fifty yuan.
In a good mood, he used the enemy mid-laner as a test subject and explained the principle of R-flash to the surrounding crowd.
Everyone listened in awe, and some rushed back to open the practice tool to practice.
The two who paid the deposit didn't feel like they had lost money.
Because they knew that for a master like him, R-flash was just basic operation, and there were more advanced techniques to come.
By nine o'clock, Xu Hao's account had reached over seven hundred and fifty points.
Almost all of them were twenty-minute slaughter games, with astonishing efficiency.
The few who had gone back to get money had also returned.
Qin Tian now had four thousand five hundred yuan in his pocket, with two thousand belonging to Xu Hao, and the remaining two thousand five hundred being deposits.
"That's about it, we have to go back."
Qin Tian stretched and said to Xu Hao, "Let's add each other on QQ. Give me your account and the accounts of those who paid deposits. I'll play them when I have time."
"Okay."
Xu Hao smiled and agreed, then tried to persuade him, "Going back so soon? It's only nine o'clock! Let's play a few more games!"
"No, Nuannuan needs to go back, otherwise her mother will worry."
Qin Tian gestured to Xia Nuannuan beside him.
"That's true."
Xu Hao nodded, a knowing smile appearing on his face.
Xia Nuannuan blushed shyly and clicked her mouse to close the computer.
"I'll give you the computer to play. Tomorrow is a holiday. If I have nothing to do in the morning, I'll come over and finish playing for you."
"Okay, okay, no rush."
"Let's go!"
"Goodbye, Brother Tian, goodbye, sister-in-law!"
Xu Hao waved goodbye to the two with a chuckle.
Upon hearing the address, Xia Nuannuan's body trembled, and her pretty face instantly turned crimson.
She opened her mouth to explain, but with so many people watching, she was too nervous to speak.
"Zhang Peng, let's go, we're heading back."
Qin Tian called out to Zhang Peng, who was sitting opposite him.
"You guys go ahead, I'll play a couple more rounds."
Zhang Peng replied without looking up, his eyes fixed on the screen.
"Alright, then we'll be leaving first!"
"Mhm, mhm!"
