CH 30

The response from the opposite side sounded like a sigh of relief, and the tone was also pleasantly surprised.

“Long time no see, brother! Fortunately, I bumped into Xiaoxiao and the others watching your live stream yesterday. I took a quick glance and barely recognized you.”

“Good thing it’s you. If I really mistook someone else, I would have been embarrassed for a long time.”

Xia Hang didn’t ask Xie Yao why he suddenly disappeared before, but asked about his recent situation and happily invited him to play games together at night.

Xie Yao hesitated for a moment: “Aren’t you training today?”

TGS is currently in a consolidation period after the first round of the tournament, and the team members are all in training. Xia Hang seems to be very free.

On the other end, Xia Hang was prepared early: “I asked for leave from the coach. No problem. Finally caught you, let’s play two games at night.”

Xie Yao said: “But I’m going to play duo with my boss tonight. I have to ask him first.”

Xia Hang was very straightforward: “No problem, you go ask!”

So Xie Yao turned around and knocked on Jiang Song’s door, mentioning that he had a friend who wanted to play together as a three-person team tonight.

Jiang Song thought to himself, ‘Why are there so many third wheels?’

But he still sighed and agreed.

So in the live streaming room, fans waited eagerly, thinking that they would finally get to see the “CP” of Boss Jiang and the little anchor in a duo game tonight, but they found out that the promised duo game had turned into a three-person team game!

“Good evening, everyone. I am the anchor Yao Yao, and tonight I am playing with…”

Before Xie Yao could finish his opening remarks, the barrage was already crying out.

: Yao Yao, please don’t run into any idiots again this time!

: Please, I don’t even hope for a two-person world anymore. Just go wash your face and don’t summon any more monsters!!!

: I’m so sick of A Zai’s miraculous ability to summon idiots.

: Hope this time it’s a normal person.

The fans were already fed up with Xie Yao’s stupid teammates recently, and when they heard that he had another “friend” this time, they immediately started a wave of criticism.

Xie Yao was afraid that Xia Hang might be lurking in his live streaming room and would be unhappy seeing these barrage comments, so he spoke up to explain for him.

“This friend I’ve known for many years, don’t cry, if you scare him away, are you going to compensate me?”

The barrage reluctantly responded, “We’ll trust you this time.”

When Jiang Song came online, Xie Yao invited him to join the team, then immediately invited Xia Hang who was already online.

Xie Yao’s ID was still “Your Daddy” Jiang Song changed his name to “Call Me Daddy” using a name change card two days ago, and Xia Hang’s ID was a simple “Ship.”

“Everyone’s here, I’ll start the game now,” Xie Yao said.

: This friend’s ID and avatar look so familiar…

A comment from a fan of Xia Hang seemed to flash by in the barrage, but it didn’t catch anyone’s attention.

Coincidentally, Xie Yao didn’t get to play as a mage again this time. Xia Hang chose to play as a marksman, Yu Ji, Jiang Song played jungle with Bai Li, and Xie Yao naturally picked Yao.

The barrage reacted with a wave of sighs.

: So you’ve swallowed the words ‘Real men never play support’?

: Since he met Boss Jiang, he’s no longer just a man.

Xie Yao has shown his face more often, and his thick skin has improved, returning to his arrogant self from before he started showing his face on stream. He doesn’t take the fans’ teasing to heart at all.

Knowing Xie Yao well, Xia Hang is amazed to see him playing a support hero, who is usually considered a weaker role. “When did you start playing support, brother?”

Xie Yao brags, “You don’t know much. I’m now a top-ranked Yao in the country.”

Xia Hang can’t help but chuckle, “Impressive, impressive. My apologies.”

Jiang Song remains silent, but he is a man of action.

Even though it’s still a three-person team for their ranked game tonight, they can’t resist the sugar coming from Jiang Song’s playstyle.

As soon as they enter the loading screen, the hero posters for both sides appear, and the fans have already dug up some sugar without Xie Yao having to say anything.

: Electric mouse and divine deer Yao, isn’t this the standard wild king carrying his sister combo?

: Nonsense! This is clearly the standard combo for little lovers!

: Damn it, they even have lover IDs!!!

: It’s supposed to be a game played by three friends, but friends don’t even have proper names.

: kswl!!!

…

The barrage is eagerly waiting for sugar, rolling on the ground with sweetness, not knowing that they are eating industrial sucrose deliberately produced by the protagonist.

Jiang Song has been watching the barrage all the time, with a satisfied smile on his face when entering the game.

Since being with Xie Yao, Xie Yao has inexplicably played support frequently, and now he has learned some tricks.

He brushes shields for his teammates to explore vision, and occasionally he can barely withstand some damage. His Yao Princess is now playing well and following the standard.

As the game progressed past the halfway mark, the bottom lane seemed like an orphan, but Xia Hang, who had been effortlessly playing the game, turned his head to check on Xie Yao’s record and was stunned by the 19 assists behind him.

Unbelievably, the 19 represented not kills, but assists!

After clearing the minions, Xia Hang roamed into the jungle and, seeing the one who was supposedly Xie Yao’s boss, charged into the crowd with a Yao’s soul floating above his head, and with lightning-fast moves, achieved a triple kill.

Meanwhile, the top lane’s Yao was shielding and controlling, their teamwork was seamless.

Xia Hang was amazed once again and even made a request: “Brother, come with me.”

Xie Yao hesitated for a moment, but Jiang Song was open and said, “You go ahead,” and then went to slay the dragon.

Xie Yao then rode on top of Yu Ji’s head.

Xia Hang was very excited: “I’ll lead you to a penta-kill!”

Xie Yao was ignited with fighting spirit: “Let’s do it!”

In Xia Hang’s imagination, this pentakill would have been achieved with Yao riding on Yuji’s head, just like when he assisted Xuan Ce earlier with a series of moves that helped Xia Hang get the pentakill. But in reality, Yuji confidently weaved through the enemy’s central crowd, engaging in guerrilla warfare and kiting the opposing team with explosive damage and fancy footwork.

However, Yao’s first skill shot twice: “double kill!” Her second skill, a powerful laser ball, chased after the enemy’s low health and crushed them.

“Penta kill!”

With the pentakill achieved, Xie Yao, with the stylish red and blue buff, happily rode back on the chaotic head of Yuji, saying, “I got a pentakill!” with an obvious tone of surprise.

Xia Hang couldn’t believe it: weren’t you assisting me earlier?

Once again, Yao stole the kills, looking at Xie Yao’s impressive 7-0-22 record, and then at the seven additional assists that Xia Hang had, Xia Hang rubbed his face in disbelief.

Genius is still a genius.

He was very tired in his heart: Brother, you should go with Xuan Ce. I can handle it alone.

At this point, Xuan Ce had silently walked up to Yu Ji’s side, and Xie Yao jumped down from Xia Hang’s head, circling a few times before climbing onto Xuan Ce’s head as soon as his cooldown was over.

He smiled at Yu Ji and said, “If I’m not here to protect you, you must take good care of yourself~”

The barrage burst into laughter.

: Fake assists vs real kills, Yu Ji is completely defeated!

: Friends are too naive. How could this asshole play support honestly? Only the boss can control him!

: Yu Ji’s voice is really familiar, like my Zhou Zhou at home!

The barrage was all cursing Xie Yao, saying he wasn’t a decent person, and only a few fans began to suspect the identity of that “friend.”

Perhaps at first, everyone was unsure, as there are too many fans imitating professional players nowadays, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and lies. However, the voice of “friend” is really too similar!

Although TGS’s popularity is not as high as SUS’s, it is still a big team, and there are many fans. Moreover, Xia Hang is the starting jungler, and the time of a game is enough for fans to recognize him.

“But without key evidence, even though some fans suspected it was 90% Zhou Xia, they didn’t speak up.

It wasn’t until the end of the game, when they returned to the room, that Xia Hang’s microphone suddenly erupted with a thunderous roar.

“Xia Hang! Did you fucking take leave to sweep your grandfather’s grave? Do you sweep graves at the base?!”

Accompanied by a chaotic collision sound and Xia Hang’s painful scream, the sound in the game abruptly stopped, presumably his microphone was muted.

The barrage unconsciously laughed: Sweeping graves late at night, so brave?

Only then did they react and exclaimed: What the fuck! It’s the live Zhou Xia!!!

The coach of TGS was notorious for being irritable, and had previously been on the hot search due to a video of him cursing someone out. Anyone who paid attention to e-sports could recognize the famous husky voice of the TGS coach.

E-sports players appearing in the live broadcast was akin to a major earthquake.

Xie Yao hadn’t even had time to react before the news had already spread at lightning speed, and the popularity of the live broadcast room began to visibly double.

Xie Yao: Fuck.

A large group of fans of both TGS and Zhou Xia squeezed into the live stream room, and the original fans were instantly overwhelmed and their comments were drowned out.

Xia Hang closed his microphone and grinned at his coach, “Thanks for that, coach.”

The coach, who had just been pulling his ear, crossed his arms and glanced at the live stream data. “Who are you? Did I just put on this show to increase your popularity?”

Xia Hang stretched lazily. “A friend of mine, we’re quite close. I heard he’s going to participate in some live streaming competition, so I wanted to help him out.”

The coach snorted. “You don’t even have a world championship title, and you have the nerve to worry about someone else winning one? Training tomorrow will be doubled!”

Xia Hang howled in disbelief.

Jiang Song, who had been staring at the live stream, fell silent for a moment. He looked at the screen full of TGS fans and coolly dialed a hundred-dollar phone number.

“What are you doing?”

“A few moments ago, we finished training and were getting ready to eat. What’s up, brother?”

Jiang Song sneered, “Come to life.”

The barrage of comments were all about Zhou Xia’s e-sports fans, and Xie Yao got up to grab a glass of water.

The water dispenser at home had a problem, and Xie Yao spent a few minutes fixing it. After he came back with the water, the barrage suddenly surged, leaving him stunned and almost spilling the water!

“SUS-Yibaii, SUS-Xiaoxiao, SUS-Fengying, SUS-Chenglang, and SUS-Cisha entered the live broadcast room~”

One message directly baffled everyone.

SUS has signed a contract with SharkTV for live streaming, but they only need to stream for a short amount of time each month. These people who entered the live broadcast room were actually their main accounts!

As one of the most popular teams in China, SUS has always attracted fans easily.

The speed of spreading news in the fan circle is extremely fast. In just a few seconds, the popularity of the live broadcast room began to climb at a terrifying speed.

: Xiaoxiao!!! Hurry up and start the live stream, Mom wants to watch!!!

: Where’s Fengying?!

: Yibai! Mom’s big boy!

: Cisha, are you giving up your live broadcast room?!

: Chenglang, you used to only watch beautiful girls, why are you watching handsome guys now?!

The SUS fans in the barrage were extremely crazy, like the most terrifying nuclear weapon. Xie Yao stared blankly at the live broadcast room’s popularity, which stopped at 4.95 million, with a shocked and dazed expression.

A fan of Xie Yao struggles to break through the crowd and exclaims, “Holy sh*t!!! Yao Yao’s live stream is about to make it to the front page!”

Jiang Song raises an eyebrow.

One minute later.

——SUS-praise enters the live stream room!
