Yu Wan followed the official staff backstage, where two other e-sports players were already present and greeted her.

Logically, the guests should have been in the same lounge, but the organizers arranged for them to be separated. Therefore, although the three had played ranked matches online a few times, this was the first time they had met in real life.

Chen is slightly chubby, with small eyes that are almost slits, and he always has a smile on his face, making him very likable. But he has fast hands, flashy moves, and unconventional methods, which makes him very popular with fans.

The other person is called Whis28, a cool and handsome guy with glasses. He is ruthless and doesn't talk much, and is commonly known as "the gangster".

Chen, who was quite talkative, winked and said, "I was just betting with Whis whether it would be a young man or a young woman coming. I didn't expect it to be a cute little girl. You really can't judge a book by its cover."

Yu Wan raised an eyebrow: "I hope you'll still find it cute when you go on stage later."

Chen immediately realized what was happening, exaggeratedly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply, saying, "I beg the Queen to take me with her."

"puff."

The staff members nearby couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After this brief interlude, the initial awkwardness between the three dissipated somewhat.

After waiting for about ten minutes, after the official representative of Ausen finished speaking, the female host enthusiastically introduced: "...Next, let's welcome the e-sports champion Chen, the aloof male god Whis28, and your queen, Yu Xiangyangsheng."

As the three took the stage one by one, screams erupted from the audience, with Yu Xiangyang being the loudest.

When the live stream camera switched to this scene, many male fans were seen holding up signs that read "I love Yu Xiangyang" in support, with large red hearts pasted on their faces.

The screen was flooded with "666" comments.

Sitting backstage, Tang Yue's smile vanished instantly, his eyes turning chillingly cold: "Who cut the shot? Does Aosheng have to rely on these kinds of gimmicks to gain attention?"

The thought of these men openly cheering and applauding for Yu Wan in front of the camera makes my chest feel tight.

He coldly ordered, "Focus on the game."

"I'll go check right away." Qin Feng seized the opportunity to rush out the door.

He patted his chest and took a few deep breaths.

How terrifying!

A jealous man is not to be trifled with!

On stage.

The calls for action came one after another.

Chen joked, "I'm doomed, you're going to steal all my fans."

Yu Wan raised her chin, smiled casually, and said in a rather irritating tone, "Let's talk about it after the competition. Maybe we can get even more."

Chen widened his eyes as he tried to be serious: "Okay, I'm going to get serious now."

The screen was flooded with comments again.

[Screenshot taken. This is predicted to be the hottest meme of 2020. See the proof in this post.]

[As expected of my queen, I'm taking her away.]

[Sorry, Chen, that was so awesome! I've suddenly become a fan of Yu Xiangyang.]

[Yu Xiangyang's voice is so nice, I wonder why he's wearing a mask?]

[Whis, please say something! Did Whis speak on stage today? No, he didn't.]

Start the game.

The information was registered in advance; all I need to do is log in.

As soon as Yu Wan sat down, an official handed her a blanket. The temperature was actually quite high, but she accepted the official's kindness and draped it over her lap.

"Survival" is a first-person shooter (FPS) game set in a space-time universe. Characters have three attributes and different fates depending on their class, and may even be assimilated by the Zerg. The protagonist's destiny could be to lead humanity to save the interstellar era and defeat the Zerg, or to transform into a Zerg and lead a counterattack.

The most interesting part is that you can choose between the storyline and the competitive route. The competitive route involves real players battling each other in a simulated battlefield. Players are divided into groups of five or one, representing different mercenary squads. The goal is to defeat other squads to unlock the treasure vault and obtain the best weapons. So, players must both attack the Zerg and be wary of other players.

For entertainment purposes, the three were assigned to the competitive route, using characters with different attributes to battle each other.

When Yu Wan chose Omega, the whole audience was in an uproar. As expected of someone who plays Sona as the carry, her skills are incredibly smooth.

Since Chen chose Beta, the only remaining Alphard that could be operated was by Whis28.

At the start, you only have a simple weapon. Every time you kill a Zerg, it drops a piece of equipment.

Yu Wan always took a head-on approach, quickly securing two kills on the Zerg. She was lucky enough to acquire armor and a new weapon, which she then used to open the map and head towards the player's location.

[Yu Xiangyang went to beat up Chen? That's incredible!]

[Chen hasn't encountered a single Zerg player yet? So unlucky.]

[Don't tell Chen, give him a special surprise, hahaha!]

The chat was flooded with comments as Yu Wan's character encountered Chen. Chen was startled, not expecting her to appear, and lost half his health. However, being a professional player, he quickly dodged the attack.

In the audience, Meng Shen's hands were clenched nervously. His best friend versus his idol—who should he support?

boom……

The fight had barely lasted a few minutes when the entire arena erupted in uproar, because the two fighters had inadvertently stumbled into the Zerg's encirclement.

Yu Wan turned and attacked Chen, successfully taking his head. Suddenly, Whis28 appeared behind her.

She raised an eyebrow and calmly detonated her hand.

The entire group perished.

Huge text immediately appeared on the screen.

"Lose!"
