At this point, the Blind Monk's equipment could only be described as top-notch: the green Warrior jungle knife, tier-three boots, a control ward, and a Phage—truly luxurious. He headed toward the bottom lane, marked for Braum and Caitlyn, and walked along the minion wave into the lower part of the bot lane brush that Braum had already cleared of wards. Meanwhile, the opponents were completely unaware, which showed just how poor their vigilance was; at such a time for clearing vision, they didn’t even get suspicious.

Ethan Carter, controlling the Blind Monk, never intended for Braum and Caitlyn to bait. Sonic Wave! Another Q shot straight through two minions and hit Lucian. But Lucian wasn’t particularly afraid at this point; the enemy Caitlyn and Braum weren’t skilled enough, played a bit timidly in lane, and hadn’t followed up at all. With his current positioning, he could easily coordinate with Thresh to escape safely.

A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of Lucian’s mouth. You won’t succeed a second time—this game, I’m going to carry...!?!!? Why is he warding behind me? He watched helplessly as the Blind Monk followed up with the second Q. Before the Blind Monk even arrived, the ward was already down. A strong sense of unease welled up inside Lucian!

Incredible!

Whether playing the game or watching the livestream, the audience instantly erupted!

This Dragon’s Rage ultimate not only kicked Lucian back, but even swept up Thresh, who had come over to block in front of Lucian! The two of them were doomed!

“Blind Monk godlike play! Q in close, then ward-hop Dragon’s Rage! This move couldn’t be any cooler!”

“With this move, Blind Monk fans are in for a treat!”

“I always knew this Blind Monk was amazing, but I didn’t know he was THIS amazing!”

“Thank you, master, for teaching me the Dragon’s Rage combo!”

“Even in a regular placement match, there are gods! Is this even playable?!”

Meanwhile, in Ethan Carter’s attribute panel, as his body warmed up, another notification appeared: Due to player “What are you looking at” advancing League of Legends skill value, a special reward of 0.3 strength growth and 30 victory points is granted. This hero moment will be open to all players. Player “What are you looking at” has made a great contribution—Hero Star.

His attribute panel now read:

Ethan Carter Human / Standard human parameters: 3

Agility 2 (Agility growth 1.3)

Strength 2 (Strength growth 1.3 → 1.6)

Intelligence 5 (Intelligence growth 2.1)

Player has not yet been ranked. After placement, the starting rank will be Heroic Bronze 5, with each division as 1 level.

It’s important to know that everyone’s agility, strength, and intelligence growth attributes are fixed based on their innate constitution and rarely change. Only when crossing a major rank will a random attribute be awarded 1 point of growth. Yet Ethan Carter gained 0.6 in his very first placement match. This means if he finishes placements at Heroic Bronze 1, that’s level 5, and he’ll have gained a full 3 points of strength. A normal adult only has 3 points of strength.

The livestream audience instantly jumped from a scattered 300 people to 3,000, then to 100,000, and finally stabilized at 310,000. Some Blind Monk fans were even moved to tears—such gameplay details were truly hard-won for them.

System message: Player “I’m Blind Monk, not Blind” sent flowers (5 League Coins) to player “What are you looking at” for their brilliant performance.

System message: Player “Golden Bell Shield Iron Underwear” sent flowers (5 League Coins) to player “What are you looking at” for their brilliant performance.

These two system notifications were a reminder to the audience watching the match: such an exciting game is worth spending money on!

In principle, League skill value livestreams are not supposed to charge, but a revenue channel for skill value creators was still opened. For example, a flower costs the viewer 5 League Coins, and in the end, 4 League Coins go into Ethan Carter’s pocket. Watching as the flowers for this match started flooding the screen, the total soon surpassed five figures.

Many viewers quietly followed the “What are you looking at” ID in the system, so that whenever he played again, the system would notify them immediately.

At this moment, Ethan Carter was completely unaware that a huge storm had already erupted for him on the livestream platform—people were just short of doxxing him.

Ethan Carter: Little Doomsday, I know where you are. I’m coming for you.

Fiora: Doomsday, run! Don’t feed him anymore!

Lucian: Look at what you’ve done! Use your brain when you play!

Doomsday: Blind Monk, you son of a ￥%……&*!!

Then Ethan Carter quietly helped Darius in the top lane take down Fiora. Fiora, who was low on health, saw Ethan Carter heading top in her vision and was preparing to recall. At this point, if she recalled, the Blind Monk wouldn’t have time to reach top lane. But the previous conversation made her think the enemy was going to the jungle to find Doomsday. Meanwhile, the minion wave was pushed under the tower by Darius, and she couldn’t resist the temptation to clear it.

Fiora: ???

Ethan Carter: Just passing by, just passing by...

Doomsday: Fiora, you’re just someone who gets picked off “in passing,” and you have the nerve to talk about me!

“Hahaha, I love this strategy!”

“Hahahaha, I give this play 82 points, and the remaining 18 points, I’ll give you in the form of 666!”

The livestream audience was laughing uncontrollably at Ethan Carter’s display of overwhelming skill and intelligence. They absolutely loved this game—learning new tricks and having a blast! Even more people followed the “What are you looking at” ID and sent system flower gifts.

Ethan Carter: Little Doomsday, I know where you are. I’m coming for you.

Fiora: Don’t use the same trick on a Saint Seiya twice!
