For POG's second game, all the players were already waiting in the lounge.

Today's opponent knocked on the door, entered their lounge, pulled out Gu Yueshuang's poster and some POG calendar merchandise, and said with a smile, "Brother Shuang, can you sign something for us?"

"ah?"

Gu Yueshuang was bewildered. She wondered, "Are gank lounges all the rage now?" She hadn't been popular during the Spring Split, so how come she'd become such a huge hit during the Summer Split?

Seeing that they were holding POG calendars, Xu Qing double-checked, "Do you only want Brother Shuang's autograph?"

A fat man wearing glasses and about the same size as Xu Qing said, "Yeah, it's not like we don't know each other."

Xu Qing was speechless: "So you don't know Brother Shuang?"

The fat man said: "I know him, but he probably doesn't know us..."

Gu Yueshuang was silent for two seconds and found that it was true.

She really couldn't recognize who these people were.

At this point, Fatty's heart broke. "I've run into Brother Shuang several times in ranked matches. He never responds when I say hello. He's so aloof."

Xu Qing was surprised: "So you came here to ask for an autograph?"

The fat man was silent for a second, then finally told the truth: "No, your opponent in the last match said that Frost's skin looked really good up close, so they gave us a chance to check it out."

POG people: "..."

The fat man continued, "They also say Frost is an esports lucky charm, and that if he absorbs some luck, he'll become stronger."

Gu Yueshuang: “???”

Fatty was completely oblivious to the POG's changed expressions and continued to flatter his teammates, "They also said we had to come early, and you guys were so fast. We were supposed to go to the makeup room early to wait for them, but the makeup artist told us to do our own makeup."

He leaned in to observe Gu Yueshuang's face, wondering, "Is this the effect of makeup?"

The POG members, led by Xu Qing and Lu Minghao, pushed the man out and slammed the door shut. "Get out! Are you trying to absorb our luck and become stronger so you can attack us?!"

After POG had a falling out with the official makeup artist, he stopped going to the official makeup room and applied to the league for permission to do his own makeup.

But POG actually doesn’t have a makeup artist. They just wash their hair and go out looking fresh and clean. The children’s skin is okay, so the officials turn a blind eye.

It actually bought everyone a lot of extra rest time, and everyone was happy.

Xu Qing sighed, "It's great to be young... The guys in the Abs Team have already started putting on face masks and staying up late to play RANK."

Gu Yueshuang: “???”

Xu Qing sighed, a little complaining: "I had dark circles before, and I asked them if they had any skin care product recommendations, and they said to buy the most expensive one."

Gu Yueshuang: “…”

Lu Minghao was curious: "So what skin care products does Shuang Ge use?"

Gu Yueshuang: "...baby cream."

Everyone: “…”

Fang Butao also sighed: "It's great to be young..."

Lu Minghao asked quietly, "Is it really okay for us not to wear makeup? I heard that a team was fined for not wearing makeup."

Gu Yueshuang said confidently: "I put on makeup."

Lu Minghao: “?”

I haven’t seen it. When did you put on makeup?

Lin Yanqiu said meaningfully: "Do you understand? This is called the emperor's new makeup. Only smart people can see it."

Lu Minghao: “…”

Lin Yanqiu was communicating with the staff: "Please, please stop anyone from coming to the gank lounge before a match. I'm afraid it will affect the players' performance. Thank you."

The staff member was stunned for a moment, then nodded to show his understanding: "Okay, I'll tell them."

Lin Yanqiu took out ten more posters and merchandise of Gu Yueshuang and asked her to sign them. He said, "Let's put these at the entrance of the lounge from now on. Let them take whatever they want."

Xu Qing didn't understand the logic behind this and wondered, "Then there will definitely be other staff members who will come to get it, which will be even more troublesome... Actually, it's not a bad idea to let others take photos and exchange ideas."

Gu Yueshuang also felt that this wasn't a good idea and said, "Why not prepare a POG peripheral gift box and send it to the other team before each game? Let Brother Tao go."

Fang Butao, who worked tirelessly and was also in charge of filming, said: "..."

Gu Yueshuang: "Everyone signs, just consider it as a favor between teams."

Then she turned to Lu Minghao and Yang Lin and asked, "What are the rumors about me? I don't remember it being like that last season."

Lu Minghao: "That's a lot. They've already turned your deeds into a story and built a ten-thousand-story building. Not only is it very popular, but I think the length is enough to be a book."

Gu Yueshuang: “???”

After listening to this, she looked at Fang Butao thoughtfully, her intuition telling her that he had something to do here.

Fang Butao chuckled, knowing he could no longer hide it. He scratched his head and said, "I wrote it using a fake account... I was waiting for you to find a surprise on the forum yourself one day, but who knew you would never read it again."

Lu Minghao: “……?”

So it was our own people who did the marketing?

He was even moved to tears by this story! What an inspiring story! He was betrayed by his idiotic teammates in the secondary league, and finally made it to the LPL alone. He stumbled along the way, got off to a bad start, and ultimately managed to crawl to fourth place in the Spring Split—a feat most people couldn't achieve.

At the end of that post, the poster wrote a touching essay, summarizing the spring season, and then wished Frost smooth sailing and a smooth journey in the summer season.

I guess the surge in followers is related to this article.

Who knew it was written by him?

Gu Yueshuang briefly explained why she stopped reading the forums: "It was quite interesting at first, but later I could guess what they were saying even without reading them, so I just didn't want to read anymore."

It's nothing more than using a magnifying glass to find details and praise them to the sky when you win, and using a microscope to find fault and criticize them to death when you lose.

She scratched her head. “I just didn’t expect you to write a biography… Anyway, thank you.”

She paused and added sincerely, "If it's published, remember to give me half of the copyright fees."

Fang Butao: “…”

Can you at least be touched?!

Why is money the only thing on your mind?

After saying this, Gu Yueshuang put the matter behind her and discussed today's game lineup and arrangements with her teammates.

Lu Minghao was still immersed in the disillusionment after being tricked, and asked Fang Butao cautiously: "Brother, how much of this story is true and how much is false?"

Fang Butao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's all true. You can find clues on the Internet."

Lu Minghao breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "Fortunately, the house didn't collapse."

Fang Butao: “…”

Gu Yueshuang called him by name: "Lu Minghao, are you afraid of death?"

Lu Minghao: “Ah?”

Gu Yueshuang frowned: "We are discussing this arrangement, why are you absent?"

Lu Minghao quickly moved a small stool and sat next to her: "Sorry, sorry, can you say it again?"

Gu Yueshuang changed the question: "Do you care about KDA?"

Lu Minghao understood and said, "As long as we can win."

Gu Yueshuang nodded: "Okay, today as long as I charge, you can follow me, don't worry about whether you will die or not, let's fight wildly."

Lu Minghao: "? What if I gave it to him?"

Gu Yueshuang said calmly: "Then let them scold you."

Lu Minghao: “…”

Lin Yanqiu: "Then I..."

Gu Yueshuang interrupted him: "Stay safe and find a safe position to deal damage."

Lin Yanqiu: “…”

Xu Qing raised his hand: "Can I be a little more extravagant too?"

Gu Yueshuang was embarrassed: "You listen to the command, we will not start an unprepared group."

Xu Qing muttered, "We agreed to play it safe, why are we playing it safe?"

Gu Yueshuang hit him hard: "It's to give the child space to exercise. If he doesn't dare to output normally, he will be even less afraid to output in the future."

Zhou Yao was a little worried: "What if I really get criticized?"

Gu Yueshuang tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Maybe I can develop a big heart?"

Everyone: “…”

Gu Yang said cheerfully: "It's okay, just do whatever you want in the regular season, as long as you keep the chance to enter the playoffs."

Lin Yanqiu hesitated for two seconds and said, "It's okay if you give it away. As long as your gift is valuable, you will be praised for your courage and fighting spirit. So don't be afraid, and be kind to your teammates."

Gu Yueshuang smiled faintly: "Remember my Zoe pentakill? Team Xiaolin told me the same thing at that time."

Lu Minghao was somewhat touched: "Captain, you are such a good person!"

Gu Yueshuang nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

Lin Yanqiu, who was suddenly given the nice guy card, said: "..."

Yang Lin listened silently on the side and muttered softly: "Will I be able to become such a powerful person in the future?"

Gu Yueshuang had an idea after hearing this and said, "How about this, once you reach the top of the Korean server, we'll push Xiaolin's team down and let you start. How about that?"

Lin Yanqiu: “……?”

Yang Lin's eyes lit up visibly: "Is it really possible?"

Gu Yueshuang blinked: "Okay, I'll do it."

Lin Yanqiu, who suddenly faced a crisis in his first start, said: "..."

He pursed his lips, remained silent for a while, and said, "Get ready to go on stage."

Xu Qing shuddered and asked quietly, "Why do I feel like Xiaolin is particularly murderous today?"

Zhou Yao asked quietly: "Is this the midlife crisis?"

The real middle-aged man Gu Yang: "..."

Ten contestants entered the custom room for the competition, and the other party jokingly said, "Brother Shuang, can you remember my name? Brother Shuang, we are all your fans!"

Gu Yueshuang didn’t know how to reply, so she simply replied with a period.

Lin Yanqiu smiled and typed: "How about you remember my name first?"

The opponent rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and wondered, "Is the air conditioner set too low? Why am I feeling a little cold?"

The author has something to say: I've been adjusting these days! I should be able to start adding more chapters tomorrow.
