Chapter 430: Chapter 152: Hacky, Basic, Clever Hand - A Gust of Magic Wind in One Move! _1

As soon as they mentioned going off to play Go, the popularity of the live stream room instantly dropped by half.

Ke Jie scratched his head, "Forget it, let’s just play Cloud Top."

"That’s more like it." A group of viewers who had gone out for a stroll came running back.

"We can’t make sharp comments when you play Go, but when you play Cloud Top, we have room to point things out."

"The more people giving advice, the more the chat rolls, and the hotter the room gets."

"Champion, you don’t want your stream to lack popularity, do you?"

Amidst the bantering barrage, Ke Jie started another game.

He still chose Ionia.

Ke Jie always felt that this synergy seemed very strong.

Its trait was, after gathering 3 synergies, the strongest chess piece could be attached to a spirit body, doubling its attributes.

Ionia could double the attributes of two random chess pieces.

Ionia could triple the attributes of three chess pieces.

"In this way, when I have 9 Ionian on the field, wouldn’t I be able to deal the damage of 18 chess pieces?"

"Ah?" Ke Jie’s words directly stunned the chat.

"This..."

There seemed to be something off about what he said.

But they couldn’t quite point out what was wrong.

After all, the game had only been out for two to three hours since launch, and even amongst the viewers, there were those who had played Cloud Top.

But their understanding of the version was limited to these two or three hours.

It really wasn’t possible to fully grasp the version in such a short amount of time.

Soon, another game began.

This time, Ke Jie wised up.

Regardless of whether the synergies matched, he played what he had and filled up the field first.

When the 1-4 stage ended,

he had a recurve bow, a belt, a large rod, three separate components,

and 15 Gold Coins.

Time moved into the second round.

2-1

The first thing that popped up was a selection phase named [Hexes].

Ke Jie looked at the three Hexes.

Mage’s Heart (White): The synergy is counted as having an additional [Mage], receiving one [Swain]

Apothecary I (White): Chess pieces receive healing equivalent to 10% of their damage dealt and convert 20% of the overflow healing into true damage on their next attack.

Pandora’s Equipment (White): Randomly obtain a basic equipment piece and make the bench equipment change randomly each round.

"Is Mage any use? What’s the synergy effect of Mage?" As Ke Jie spoke, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly opened the ’Top Info’ APP: "Let me check, this seems to have all the synergy guides."

While Ke Jie was bowing his head to flip through his phone, the chat couldn’t hold back anymore.

"So, even the World Champion uses Top Info to check things out!"

"Now the question is, does using Top Info count as an AI plugin?"

"How could it not count?"

"Question AI, understand AI, become AI!"

"Watch closely, the Cloud Top I’m playing is infused with AlphaGo’s charm!"

"You secretly read without sharing, not showing us the effects, huh!"

"Why don’t you cast your Top Info onto the screen as well? If you gradually understand everything and we remain clueless, how can we give you advice? Huh?"

Soon after, Ke Jie returned from his research.

"Brothers, you can choose Mage."

The effect of Mage was, when participating in killing an enemy, it would trigger an Arcane Shock, causing enemies within six hexes around the chess piece to suffer the maximum health damage of the fallen chess piece and increase some Magic strength.

"If I can set up 8 Mages, all my Mages will gain 110 Magic strength and deal 20% of the fallen chess piece’s maximum health to the two nearest enemies."

While speaking, Ke Jie also looked at the equipment synthesis effects.

In the entire Cloud Top game, the equipment that provided the most Magic strength was the Deathcap for Cutie.

Two large rods can be combined, but the Magic strength was only 70 points.

However, by building an 8 Mage synergy, every Mage on the field could gain 110 points of Magic strength.

"Ok, ok, ok! This looks really strong!"

"I’ll sit this one out; I’m going off to play Mage."

In the following few rounds, Ke Jie was devoted to gathering the Mage synergy.

He would purchase any Mage chess piece that appeared in the pool.

During this process, he kept taking hits.

Ke Jie found that there was one downside to choosing Mage synergy.

As a type that relied on skills to deal high damage,

the Mages were too fragile and easily wiped out in the early game.

Basically, they couldn’t win against any other system.

By the end of round 2-7, Ke Jie finally found the chess piece he wanted, Big Eye, from the pool (for ease of understanding, all subsequent references will use abbreviations, but at present, the Blue Star players have not gotten used to the champion abbreviations, and full names will appear in the dialogue).

Paired with the already-present Clockwork, Grasshopper, Crow, and Gemstone, four Mages,

And the Mage’s Heart chosen at 2-1,

He managed to put together a 6 Mage synergy!

"This wave, I’m strong, should be able to win," Ke Jie murmured to himself.

Soon, it reached 3-1.

It was also time to test the combat strength.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the screen, and the mocking voices quieted down.

They wanted to see whether Ke Jie’s 6 Mage synergy was as powerful as he said.

And this time, the opponent was a player with a [Demacia] synergy.

The field had already gathered 5 Demacia: Garen, Angel, Poppy, Galio, and Sona.

The sides set up their formations, and the system was counting down for the upcoming battle.

Meanwhile, Ke Jie took the opportunity to look at the Demacia synergy.

He found that these synergies named after regions all had one broadly similar effect.

They revolved around enhancing certain effects for their core chess piece.
