CH 2

Xie Yao accidentally revealed that he was still a minor at the age of seventeen and joined the group of adult male players on Shark TV. He appeared very young and attracted a large group of fans, including older sisters and mothers.

Fans have very strong resilience, even if their idol has a bad personality, they can still say “my precious is really well-behaved” without hesitation.

Although female fans make up the majority, Xie Yao’s strong skills speak for themselves, and there is also a considerable proportion of technical fans.

Any fan of Xie Yao knows that since he started streaming a year ago, he has maintained an unbeaten record in the following modes: matchmaking, ranked games, and entertainment matches, excluding peak matches.

Despite Xie Yao’s positioning as an entertainment streamer, he frequently plays ranked games and matchmaking, and the chance of him playing in peak matches during his livestream is very low.However, fans unanimously believe that if he decided to push for a higher rank, even if he plays in a relaxed manner, he could maintain the level of a top-tier player like National Rank 1 Daji and National Rank 1 Wang Zhaojun and achieve impressive results in peak matches.

However, when asked by fans why he doesn’t play peak matches, Xie Yao’s exact words were: “If I play every type of game, then what’s left for other people to do? As a person, you still need to leave room for others and give your friends some face.”

It was precisely because of this extremely arrogant statement that Xie Yao’s livestream room was filled with chaos at that time. A large wave of haters and fans of other streamers came to his comment section and flooded it with insults, and even the moderators couldn’t keep up with kicking them out.

But Xie Yao continued to play games and livestream as usual, despite the constant criticism and insults, showing no signs of being affected.

This resilience can also be said to be what makes fans stick with their favorite streamer.

However, as the story goes, no one expected that Xie Yao’s unbeatable record on the SharkTV platform would be broken by a Li Bai player.

What’s more, Xie Yao even made fun of that same Li Bai player in the previous game.

The barrage of fans was clearly very shocked by this and flooded the chat with messages, quickly surpassing the 99+ mark.

Taozijiangya: Is this even possible? Xie Yao lost his first blood in just two minutes??

Wanting to marry Xie Yao’s cat ears: Is he cheating or did he change players? Wasn’t he playing poorly in the last game? And now in this game, he’s soaring to new heights, it doesn’t make sense.

Just one vegetable is enough: Oh wow, Xie Yao’s winning streak is over.

The fans in the barrage expressed doubts about Li Bai’s level, and some couldn’t believe that Xie Yao’s winning streak had been broken so easily.

Xie Yao, after experiencing the initial disbelief, quickly realized what had happened.

“The opponent switched players,” he took a moment to glance at the barrage and found that everyone was still confused, so he explained.

The fans in the bullet screen could only feel the situation through the screen, but for Xie Yao himself, he had personally played two games with the Li Bai on the other side and could clearly feel the difference in skill level between the two games. It was not even the same person. If the Li Bai in the rank was an elementary school student, then the Li Bai in this 1v1, Xie Yao would call him a professor.

The opponent was very strong, even though they got the first blood with some element of Xie Yao’s underestimation, it was still not easy to solo kill him.

Xie Yao narrowed his eyes and couldn’t believe that the opponent actually swapped out after he couldn’t beat him. He rolled his eyes in disgust.

However, he was now very interested in this opponent’s Li Bai.

After all, although his popularity is not top-notch, his skills are unmatched by many popular streamers on Shark TV. It is surprising that someone has broken his winning streak.

The opponent’s skill is definitely higher than his.

As he pondered, accompanied by a burst of game sound effects, the countdown to death ended in a few seconds, and the game world became colorful again.

So the fans in the live streaming room, who were still making a lot of noise, saw the streamer on the screen suddenly sit up straight in his chair, while in the game, his character, Wang Zhaojun, also emerged from the fountain.

Fans：？？ Something’s not right.

As everyone knows, Yao Yao, the princess of Shark TV, is always arrogant and sarcastic no matter which game mode he’s playing. However, this time, he sat up straight for the first time ever!

The fans in the live broadcast room finally realized the truth: Could it be that the opponent Li Bai was not cheating, but actually a pro player who replaced the previous one?

The fans in the chatroom began to question Li Bai’s skill level, but for Xie Yao, who had personally played two games against him, the difference in skill level was obvious. If the Li Bai in the ranked games was like an elementary school student, then the Li Bai in this 1v1 was a professor, in Xie Yao’s eyes.

Although Xie Yao had taken the first blood earlier due to Li Bai’s underestimation, it was still difficult to solo kill him. Xie Yao squinted his eyes in disgust as his opponent suddenly changed, but he was also intrigued by the skill level of the new Li Bai.

It finally dawned on the fans that Li Bai might not have been a fake account after all. He might have been a real master-level player! Xie Yao recognized his opponent’s skill, which made her fans realize just how good Li Bai must be to earn Xie Yao’s respect.

Xie Yao didn’t pay attention to the barrage anymore and controlled Wang Zhaojun, who was wearing the idol singer Xingyuan skin, to walk out. He happened to be killed by a defensive tower in the last wave of minions.

After getting the first blood, Li Bai didn’t hurry to push the tower, and Jiang Song was a bit surprised.

There’s an unwritten rule in King’s Glory that most 1v1 players follow: whoever loses the first blood or the first tower loses the game.

Li Bai had just taken down the opponent, but the arrogant Wang Zhaojun obviously didn’t have the self-awareness to surrender.

Jiang Song saw that Wang Zhaojun had respawned and came out to clear the minion wave, seemingly trying to win by taking down a tower.

Jiang Song didn’t care and moved his finger, causing Li Bai who had been staying in the nearby bush for a while to use his first skill to dash out.

Xie Yao guessed that Li Bai was hiding in the bush, so he first used his first skill to check the left bush, found no one, and then concluded that Li Bai was in the right bush.

So when Li Bai flashed out, the prepared Wang Zhaojun accurately placed a second skill under her own feet.

Players who play Zhaojun know that the best self-protection method against assassins is to time their second skill just before the enemy jumps in, freeze the opponent, and then finish them off with a combo.

But this time, Xie Yao missed it.

Because Li Bai had no intention of attacking him at all.

Li Bai elegantly used his first skill to dash twice, then used his second skill to clear out some low-health minions, before using his first skill to float back into the grass without even glancing at the Wang Zhaojun’s second skill beneath his feet.

Xie Yao：……

The live chat burst into laughter.

“Is this the legendary ‘I anticipated your anticipation’?” one comment read.

“I feel like I saw four words in Li Bai’s back, called ‘self-righteousness’, haha,” another joked.

“I bet a dime that Yao Yao must have dug his toes into the ground during that one second of bewilderment,” another comment read.

“I bet twenty cents!”

“One dollar!”

Xie Yao was indeed feeling a bit embarrassed. After all, he was usually the one teasing others, and he never thought that the tables would turn and he would be the one being teased.

So the once cautious Wang Zhaojun, who was still testing the waters, suddenly turned back to her old self – fierce and arrogant.

The more he attacked, the more confident Xie Yao became. But this confidence shattered in the next moment when Li Bai dodged his second skill with godlike reflexes, leaving Xie Yao completely stunned.

Why did Li Bai bring Flash?!

Comment 1: Wow, this Li Bai bringing Flash is amazing!

Comment 2: Yeah, if he didn’t Flash in that situation, he would have been frozen and taken down in one combo by the streamer.

Comment 3: I bet that now, Xie Yao must be feeling either murderous or funny.

Xie Yao really wanted to kill someone after being outplayed by Li Bai’s unexpected use of Flash. Li Bai’s mind games threw him off his game, and with one Flash, his ultimate missed its target. In that moment, not exaggerating at all, he had already planned out where to hide the body!

One Flash disrupted the rhythm of Xie Yao’s gameplay. Li Bai took advantage of Wang Zhaojun’s position being too forward and his skills on cooldown, catching his off guard and finishing his off with a combo.

Double kill!

After being solo killed twice, Xie Yao immediately lost his smile. The following situation can almost be predicted. Xie Yao didn’t even know that he was facing the former SUS ace jungler, Jiang Song. Mages have an inherent disadvantage in 1v1 against junglers, and coupled with the technical dominance, Xie Yao was directly solo killed five times.

Li Bai didn’t even touch the tower. By the time the death timer for Xie Yao started, the opponent’s minion wave had already taken down one turret and was pushing towards the crystal.

The outcome was decided, and Xie Yao was practically being bloodily beaten 0-5.

The fans in the live streaming room were shocked and speechless. The barrage, which was usually over 99+ per second, only had a few scattered messages, all carefully trying to comfort him.

“Yao Yao, don’t worry, we all know your skills. The opponent must be a professional player who couldn’t escape. It’s normal to not be able to beat them!”

Resurrected again, as soon as Xie Yao saw this comment, he realized that tens of thousands of people were watching him. He controlled Wang Zhaojun to clear the minion wave in front of the crystal.

In reality, at this point, he should have realized it and surrendered, but Xie Yao was very unwilling.

The opponent couldn’t just be a simple professional player. Professional players also have different levels. He understood very well that the opponent’s skill level was definitely that of the starting roster of several top teams.

Even… it’s possible that it’s from SUS.

Looking at the motionless Li Bai in front of the crystal, knowing that the opponent is waiting for him to surrender, Xie Yao suddenly felt a surge of anger. He went back to the fountain, opened the chat box,switched to the global channel, and typed a string of words:

Your Daddy (Wang Zhaojun): Brother Li Bai is so amazing, cpdd, can I buy you a skin~

Your Daddy (Wang Zhaojun): Why isn’t Brother Li Bai talking?

Your Daddy (Wang Zhaojun): Is Brother Li Bai despising my skills? Aaah~

Your Daddy (Wang Zhaojun): Since I am so bad, can Brother teach me how to play the game?

Your Dad (Wang Zhaojun): Did Brother disconnect?

Fans：……

The fans in the barrage have been bewildered by this series of “哥哥”.

In the next moment, Li Bai acted.

The handsome male hero directly crossed the crystal and endured its heavy blow to attack, flashing into the fountain to give a big move to the squishy mage.

The speed of his health regeneration couldn’t keep up with the speed of Wang Zhaojun’s death. With the mage dead, Li Bai smoothly floated out of the crystal and used his second skill to avoid damage from the blood pool. He returned unscathed to his original position.

As the opponent’s minions wore down their crystal, just before it was about to explode, Xie Yao suddenly saw a message pop up in the chatroom.

Spear of Blaze (Li Bai): Okay.

Then the opponent, having timed the explosion of Xie Yao’s crystal perfectly, surrendered before it could happen.

“Victory!”

The game ended, and we won.

Xie Yao: “Fuck!”

Author’s note:

After reading this chapter, some readers feel that attacking with a smurf account and winning by surrendering is discouraging. So, I want to explain it.

The nature of the attack was not to deliberately use a small account to bully others, but because the author’s younger cousin left and the game had already started, he proceeded with the subsequent operation.

Originally, he didn’t plan to pay attention to it, but he was provoked by the other side, so he wanted to tease and teach the person who was impolite. Then he became interested in the opponent during the process and the other side disgusted him, so he decided to defeat and surrender to disgust the opponent.

That’s it. If it caused any misunderstanding, the author is sorry. All the stupid bugs have nothing to do with the characters, it’s just because the author is brainless. If anyone has any doubts, please ask. Thank you!
