Ye Lingchen remained skeptical toward the idea of making good money from live streaming.

However, his skepticism did not stop him from trying it out. It was a good opportunity to test out the Prodigy System.

One should know his father was a doctor in the traditional Chinese Medicine hospital where he would frequently perform surgeries on his patients. His father got up early and would come home late yet he was only making a little over twenty thousand a month. His mother was just an ordinary salesperson. She worked diligently and conscientiously but she was only making sixty to seventy thousand a year.

What did a streamer do to make more money than them?

Ye Lingchen turned on the computer and searched for the key points of becoming a streamer. Next, he downloaded the iHuyu streaming platform as well as DotAgaming client.

He chose DotA because it was the number one ranked multiplayer online battle arena game. Moreover, according to the fans of the game, DotA was praised for its overall complexity and production quality as compared to LoL. As a result, the video game was more attractive to fans.

The connection speed in the hospital was fast. It had only taken fifteen minutes to complete the download. Ye Lingchen registered for an account in iHuyu and logged into the game. He paused for a moment when it was time to come up with a username. In the end, he typed in the words ‘Y-God’ in a series of tapping sounds.

Y was the first alphabet of his last name.

Since he was granted the Prodigy System, he would need to express his overbearingness naturally. He refused to lose out on his overbearingness at the very least.

Then… The player matchmaking process began!

The game user interface jumped one after another before finally settling on the loading page.

The loading page was a magnificent sight. All sorts of heroes from different races were snarling and hissing as they fought one another.

The page loaded for over one minute before he finally entered the game!

The screen appeared to be slightly dimmed initially. There were three rows of taverns on the screen. The player was supposed to pick a hero from any of the three taverns.

“Fuck, that’s Cold. Is that really Cold?”

Someone from his team typed out those words.

“Coold Goddess, please guide us!” Someone else followed suit and said that soon afterward.

In the next moment, a row of red words was displayed. It was typed by someone from the opposing team, “Coold Goddess, please show mercy to us!”

“I’ve watched the live stream and I can confirm that this is the Coold Goddess. I can die without regrets now that I’ve been beaten by the Coold Goddess.”

“Coold Goddess, please punish me gently.”

Ye Lingchen had just noticed that there was a person in his team named ‘Cold-V’ in his team. It seemed like the person could be a streamer too. Moreover, he reckoned that this person was an extremely popular streamer whose gender should be female. Could she be a beautiful maiden?

Finally, ‘Cold-V’ responded in an arrogantly cold yet confident manner, “We can win this round if we fight the battle well, players. I’m playing solo today. Thanks for working together with me, players.”

Cold’s words immediately increased the morale of Ye Lingchen’s team. The players confirmed their triumph one after another as if they were injected with chicken blood. There was only Ye Lingchen that remained silent all along because he knew that their team may not necessarily win due to his presence.
