[National Destiny + Golden Spatula + One Female Lead + Feel-Good Power Fantasy + Gaming + Not Mindless]
(PS: Updates are steady, and the story is complete. It won’t suddenly end midway. Even if you’ve never played Teamfight Tactics or Golden Spatula, you can still enjoy the story!)
The National Destiny Chessboard descended upon the world. Lose one match, and your resources are cut off. Lose everything, and your national borders collapse.
The Star God set had just launched, and the Dragon Nation had already suffered seven consecutive losses. The border was in crisis, mineral veins were drying up, and even the National Destiny League had given up on the season.
Just as everyone was waiting to watch the Dragon Nation get eliminated for good, Shen Yi, who had left the scene three years ago under a barrage of insults calling him a “reckless gambler,” “good-for-nothing,” and “mentally broken,” was thrust into the main lineup at the last minute.
Others studied the meta; he studied the order of the domains. Others rushed for popular comps; he chose strategies no one online could understand. Others focused on saving themselves; he first pulled his teammates out of trouble, then swept the entire board from his opponents.
The whole internet called him a reckless player. Overseas betting houses took wagers on his imminent defeat, and smear posts were written before the tournament even began.
But no one knew that the Star God Chessboard Shen Yi saw was completely different from the one everyone else saw.
From anonymous qualifiers to the main tournament that would decide civilization’s fate, from a global blockade to a battle for four coveted seats, Shen Yi climbed onto the board amid jeers, crushed the meta, wrecked the betting odds, and silenced one proud superpower after another.
They wanted to use the Dragon Nation as a stepping stone.
He only wanted to tell the world one thing:
In this high-level match, the Dragon Nation is calling the shots.
