Top game producer

Wang Zi and his roommates were sitting upright in their dorm room, staring intently at the time displayed at the bottom of the screen.

The game had been downloaded, and accounts were registered. Now, they were just waiting for the server to open!

"It's open! It's open!"

Their eyes lit up, and they immediately logged into the game!

However, they quickly encountered their first problem: "Brothers, which server should we choose?"

"Let's go with Demacia, the name sounds good!"

"Alright!"

Upon entering the game, an eye-catching event message popped up.

"Welcome Summoners to League of Legends! To celebrate the game launch, we have prepared the following events, running from November 23rd to November 30th."

"One: Double Gold during the event period."

"Two: Log in to the client and complete one matchmade game on any day to receive the 'I'll scout ahead' icon."

"Three: Invite any friend to complete one matchmade game together and receive a free limited Garen skin."

"Four: Complete one game each day during the event period to receive the following rewards..."

"Five: Accumulate 5 completed games..."

The event rewards were undeniably generous.

If players claimed all the rewards, they could receive five skins for free, including a limited Garen skin, two ordinary Ryze and Ashe skins, and two random skin rewards.

Wang Zi and his friends didn't yet understand the game's content. They didn't know the purpose of skins or gold, and they were eager to start playing, so they didn't read the details and closed the event page directly.

Newbie Training Camp.

A gentle female voice said: "Welcome to the League of Legends Newbie Training Camp! The goal of the game is to break through the enemy's defenses and destroy the Nexus located in the enemy's base..."

League of Legends' newbie tutorial was exceptionally detailed, almost tiresomely so, teaching players even the most basic things, like where to place their hands on the keyboard and how to move and attack with the right mouse button.

Wang Jian originally planned to make some changes to the newbie tutorial content. For example, in the equipment purchase tutorial, the only item Ashe could buy was a Thornmail. Recommending a purely defensive armor item to a marksman, instead of an offensive item, was just too ridiculous.

However, after careful consideration, he believed that this was to cater to complete novices who knew nothing.

In the newbie tutorial, there would be a Trundle as a practice opponent. The computer AI would automatically attack upon seeing the player, and those completely new players who didn't know how to fight back might be beaten to death by a Trundle with no equipment.

But with Thornmail equipped, even standing still, a low-level, unequipped Trundle couldn't damage the player at all, and might even be killed by Thornmail's reflected damage, so this design was still reasonable.

In the actual game, the recommended equipment would naturally change to items that matched the class, such as recommending items like Statikk Shiv, Phantom Dancer, and Infinity Edge for marksmen like Ashe.

Wang Zi followed the tutorial step by step, learning how to move, explore the fog of war, use skills, kill minions to earn gold, recall to base, purchase equipment, and destroy towers and the Nexus.

When the computer Trundle opponent finally appeared, swinging his club at Ashe, Wang Zi felt a little nervous and retreated.

However, he quickly realized that the Trundle couldn't damage him at all. Feeling relieved, he stood his ground and traded blows with the Trundle.

Watching the Trundle being killed, Wang Zi felt incredibly brave. He destroyed the Nexus and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I have now completely mastered this game!"

After completing the newbie tutorial, he thought he could happily play with his roommates, but he didn't expect that the requirement for queuing together was level three. Before level three, they could only play against bots.

His roommates were also a little dumbfounded. They had no choice but to go and play a few bot games each.

Wang Zi started a bot game with some annoyance: "Do I even need to play against bots? Are you looking down on a master like me?"

He originally wanted to choose Ashe, since he had just played her in the newbie tutorial and knew a little about the champion, but a teammate had already picked her.

Ryze, Wukong, and Malphite, champions that had appeared in the CGs, were also quickly locked in.

Wang Zi looked through the champions one by one, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose a champion with a sword, Master Yi.

"The Way of the Wuju!"

After entering the game, Wang Zi first looked at Master Yi's skill descriptions and roughly understood the champion: "Hmm, should I max Q, Alpha Strike, first?"

His four teammates had already gone to the top and bottom lanes, probably feeling that two people in one lane was safer.

Wang Zi was helpless and could only go to the mid lane. Actually, he was a little nervous and wanted to go with his teammates.

Under the enemy turret, was a small mage wearing a blue robe. Seeing Wang Zi's Master Yi appear in his field of vision, he hopped up and down and threw a basic attack with his staff.

Wang Zi was hit for nothing and wanted to chase after him and slash him, but the little mage hopped back under the turret.

Alpha Strike!

Master Yi's figure instantly turned into a burst of sword light, chasing the little mage under the turret.

Buzz~

The turret was enraged, and a red missile slowly hit Master Yi, instantly reducing his health by a third.

Wang Zi was stunned for a moment, remembering the knowledge he had learned in the newbie tutorial: "Right, if there are no minions, the turret will directly attack champions!"

Master Yi was still auto-attacking, chasing after the little mage, and had already entered deep into the turret's attack range. Just as Wang Zi turned to run, the turret's second attack hit him.

No escape!

The message 'Veigar has slain Master Yi' appeared on the right, and at the same time, a solemn female voice rang out: "First Blood!"

Wang Zi's face froze. First blood was taken by a bot! This bot felt much fiercer than the one in the newbie tutorial!

Fortunately, his teammates were also newbies playing for the first time and didn't think there was anything wrong. They just suddenly had a higher opinion of the bots.

Back at the fountain, Wang Zi remembered: "Right, I have a few hundred gold on me. I wonder what equipment I can buy?"

The recommended starting equipment was a Hunter's Machete!

Wang Zi looked at the equipment's description and understood somewhat: "Is this for farming jungle monsters? Then I'll go farm some jungle monsters!"

After buying the Hunter's Machete, he entered the "grim and terrifying" jungle and encountered his first group of monsters.

A large wolf and two small wolves snuggled together, yawning, lying in their den.

Wang Zi controlled Master Yi, cautiously approaching the wolves, and slashed at the largest wolf!

The wolves were instantly enraged, baring their teeth and pouncing on Master Yi.

Slash! Slash!

Master Yi's health was getting lower and lower, but the wolves still had half their health left. Wang Zi gradually started to panic!

Something's not right. I bought equipment, so why can't I even beat jungle monsters?

What he didn't know was that jungling required a higher account level, talent points, and runes to increase stats, and the Summoner Spell Smite could directly deal high damage to jungle monsters, reducing health loss. It was an essential skill for jungling.

Also, at level one, having teammates help with jungling would make it much easier. These were advanced skills that weren't taught in the newbie tutorial and needed to be discovered by players over time.

Master Yi's health was already critically low. Although Wang Zi was reluctant to give up on the wolves he had been fighting for so long, he finally decided to retreat!

Who knew that even if he stopped attacking, the wolves would still chase after him and bite him frantically!

Master Yi screamed and fell to the ground. The wolves returned to their den triumphantly, like victors.

A message popped up: 'Jungle Monster has slain Master Yi!'

"How can a champion like me not even beat a few wolves? I'm never going to the jungle again!"

Wang Zi returned to the fountain, extremely frustrated. He sold the Hunter's Machete, bought a few potions, and walked back to the mid lane!
