Chapter 142 The Hypnotist

Blank space [Pull me.]

"Okay." Ji Wanqing pulled the person into the team, and a new game began.

As soon as the game started, someone picked a support role. Ji Wanqing looked at the available heroes and chose an AD carry hero whose skills she was familiar with.

As soon as the game finished loading, the random support player turned on his microphone in the voice chat.

"Wow, I got to queue up with Sister Sunny? I'm a new fan of yours!"

The sweet and crisp "sister" made the voice channel fall silent for a moment.

[The new delivery guy has a nice voice!]

[Calling someone "sister" right off the bat? That's something.]

[This feels a bit forced... I'll take another look.]

Starlight clicked her tongue softly, and the others remained silent, creating an awkward atmosphere for a moment.

Ji Wanqing noticed it too, and gave a dry laugh, "Hello."

"I'm pretty good at support, I should be able to crush the enemy bot lane!" He seemed oblivious to the atmosphere in the voice chat and continued talking to Ji Wanqing with great enthusiasm.

"Okay," Ji Wanqing replied succinctly.

This random player's support skills were indeed quite good; their positioning was cautious, and they timed their skill usage very well.

But soon, Ji Wanqing sensed that something was wrong.

"Sister, is it okay to put this ward here?"

"Sister, do you think my item build is okay? I saw you play this hero last night, and I think this is how you build it?"

"Sister, be careful! Oh dear, it's all my fault for being a little slow in casting the shield. Did you get scared, sister?"

He addressed his sister repeatedly, his tone filled with adoration and dependence.

Hmm... there's something strange about this guy.

The aroma of tea filled the air with the family.

[They're somewhat like the Starry Night kids, but not as endearing... What are they trying to do?]

During a small team fight in the mid lane, Ji Wanqing and her support were standing together when the enemy assassin suddenly cut in from the side and charged directly at Ji Wanqing.

Ji Wanqing reacted quickly, trying to retreat by positioning herself, but the support was a beat too slow, exclaiming, "Ah! Sister, watch out!"

Then his character happened to block Ji Wanqing's retreat path, causing the two models to get stuck, hindering Ji Wanqing's movement, and she was almost caught by the opponent's subsequent skills.

"I'm so sorry, sister," his voice was full of apology and a hint of grievance, "I was too nervous and only thought about blocking the skill for you, I didn't notice that I blocked your position... You won't be mad at me, will you?"

Ji Wanqing frowned, the subtle discomfort intensifying, but out of politeness, she still spoke.

"It's alright, just be more careful about where you stand next time."

The finish line, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly spoke in a cold voice, "Support, watch your position, don't block the carry."

The assistant responded immediately, her tone even more pitiful, with a hint of subtle provocation.

"I'm sorry, Brother Jidian, I didn't mean to. I just really wanted to protect my sister... so maybe our teamwork wasn't as good as yours..."

Even Starlight couldn't hold back anymore, and her tone became a bit harsh.

"Just take care of yourself. Sunny Sister's skills and awareness don't need your protection. Don't make things worse."

Blank ignored him and said directly to Ji Wanqing, "Come and eat this wild monster."

The comments section exploded with discussion.

Don't bark! [Where did this thousand-year-old Tieguanyin tea come from? The smell is too strong, it's overpowering me.]

[Suddenly, I think Starlight isn't so bad after all.]

Then, he went even further.

He began to deliberately cater to every decision Ji Wanqing made, blindly praising her regardless of whether it was right or wrong.

Ji Wanqing judged that it was a good time to fight, and he immediately agreed, "Sister is right! Let's follow!"

When Ji Wanqing occasionally made a small mistake, he would immediately comfort her, "Sister, it's okay. It's all my fault for not protecting you. I'm so useless."

He even started mentioning it casually, in a naive yet suggestive tone.

"Sister, when you hang out with these older guys, are they all this good? I'm so envious that they get to hang out with you so often. As a little fan, I wonder if I'll ever have a chance to learn a few tricks from you~"

The level of "green tea" (a derogatory term for someone who is overly snobbish or manipulative) in this comment was off the charts, and the comments section was filled with outrage.

[I'm speechless, is this a true fan?]

Is he trying to oust the senior members and take over for himself?

[His intentions are despicable! Why isn't the powerful Blank Master speaking up?! Come out and vanquish this demon!]

[The big boss is busy accumulating resources for Sunny Day and doesn't have time to pay attention to him, hahaha.]

Is this guy implying that Sunny doesn't care about his fans? I really can't tell if this guy is a hater or a fan.

The man's words were getting more and more outrageous, and even Ji Wanqing's good temper was almost worn out.

Her brows furrowed, and her tone turned noticeably colder. "Just focus on playing the game. You don't need to keep bothering me."

However, the person seemed not to understand human language, or was certain that Ji Wanqing would not be able to lash out during the live stream, and continued to do as he pleased, even trying to make his character circle around Ji Wanqing's character when Ji Wanqing returned to the city.

"Sister, did I dance well?"

Ji Wanqing took a deep breath, suppressing her discomfort, and replied coldly, "Just focus on playing your game."

She was in a dilemma. If he were a real fan and spoke normally, she would be happy to interact with him more.

But this person never seemed normal from the beginning; there was always something inexplicably strange about him that made people uncomfortable.

She was only able to maintain a semblance of politeness because he didn't say anything that could cause her any real harm; aside from being a bit noisy, she just let him be.

But then, a blank, cold voice suddenly rang out, devoid of any warmth.

"Support, just do your job."

[The boss has gone on a killing spree!]

[It's disgusting to look at!]

Hahaha! Awesome!

The assistant seemed to want to say something more, but he had only uttered one syllable when Blank interrupted him with extremely fast speech.

"In the next team fight, everyone focus fire on the enemy AD carry."

The finish line scoffed, his tone laced with malice, "We should have played like this a long time ago, it's annoying to watch."

Starlight was also eager to get started, "Roger that! Let's see what real teamwork looks like!"

Ji Wanqing chuckled lightly. These people are truly competitive when they're fighting, but they can also be quite united when they're united.

She brought her thoughts back to the game and secured a double kill in the next team fight.

The other kills were also taken by teammates, including one from a support player.

The enemy was already down to his last sliver of health when Blank attacked, but he still had to waste a skill, so the kill ended up on him.

They'll even steal kills.

[Was that intentional? They were just aiming to steal Brother Blank's head.]

[They save their skills during team fights, only using them when the enemy is low on health. Those who know, know what they're thinking.]

The game ended in a near-humiliating defeat. After exiting the results screen, Ji Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, finally free from having to face such teammates again.

"What the hell?" the finish line said disdainfully. "Next time I see this, I'll just block it."

Starlight clicked her tongue twice. "Sister, you should stick with our team from now on. There are too many bad people out there."

Ji Wanqing rubbed her temples, feeling both helpless and amused. "I know, I know. I've learned a lot today. Thank you all."

"It's getting late, it's time to rest," Blank reminded him once again.

[Here comes the hypnotist, Blank, the master.]

[It's reasonable to suspect that Blank went online to play this game just to get Sunny to go to sleep!]
