Chapter 303: You Can Make a Living by Relying on Your Face
"Is it over there? Oh my god, it's him!"
"Why is it so noisy over there?"
"It looks like someone's coming."
"Who's here? Who's here? Why such a big commotion?"
Ye Wanxi also noticed something was wrong. She frowned and was about to say something when a high-pitched scream suddenly came from the crowd.
"It's Rin-shin! Rin-shin is here! The organizers are so generous that they even managed to invite Rin-shin!"
"Damn, it really is Rin-shin! I never thought I'd be this close to Rin-shin in my entire life. This ticket was totally worth it!"
The organizers were clearly shocked by the unexpected turn of events, but they quickly recovered and turned the lights and cameras on the crowd that was storming into the venue.
Now things have really gotten out of hand. Not only the people in the venue, but also the live broadcast room has completely erupted in chaos.
Before this, the comments in the live stream were all about Ye Wanxi, but as soon as the figure was displayed on the big screen, the comments in the live stream were suddenly replaced with another name.
[Rin-shin! It really is Rin-shin!]
[Damn it, if I'd known Rin-shin was going to be at the anniversary event today, I would have sold everything I own and taken time off work to buy a ticket. Garbage planners, garbage organizers! They didn't even announce Rin-shin's appearance beforehand, even though there were still seats available. I'm so angry!]
[Don't get angry upstairs, the worst is yet to come! I finally managed to snag a ticket, but my boss suddenly said he has to work overtime tonight, so I had to transfer it to my buddy. Now he's sending me tons of pictures, that bastard. Ugh, damn it, I'm so mad! I should have been the one getting so close to Rin-shin today, it should have been me!]
[I sympathize with the person upstairs, *pats on the back*. But aren't you working overtime right now? Aren't you afraid your boss will catch you doing something wrong?]
[Go ahead and arrest me! I've wanted to leave this lousy company for ages! My Rin-shin, my Rin-shin! If I'd known Rin-shin would show up, I would have gone even if I was fired!]
[Hahaha, even after a year of retirement, Rin's charm is still irresistible. But speaking of which, didn't they just win the World Championship early this morning? Are they back home already?]
[They must have just received their award and rushed back, only to be dragged here by the game company! That club is such a heartless, unscrupulous capitalist; they didn't even give them time to adjust to the time difference. They're just after money. Just wait, I'm going to write a 1000-word essay to rant about them.]
The club and the game organizer, who silently took the blame, were speechless.
They did arrange for these people to make a brief appearance and leave near the end of the event, but who would have thought that this group would act unpredictably and arrive before the scheduled time!
Hearing the commotion below, Gao Min's heart skipped a beat. She pulled aside a staff member and asked, "Who is this 'God of Rin'? Why is there such a big fuss? Anyone who doesn't know better would think the emperor himself has arrived!"
The staff member was taken aback when she said that. He turned to look at her and said with a smile, "You don't even know Lin Shen? He's a legend in the e-sports world. He dropped out of school at sixteen to play games and stream, and was discovered and recruited into a professional team in just one year. At eighteen, he led the team to win the runner-up title in the global competition, and won the championship the following year, thus beginning his six-year championship journey."
"Six consecutive championships?" Gao Min was stunned. How difficult must that be? It was a world-class competition.
"That's right, six consecutive championships. After winning his last championship at the age of 24, Rin announced his retirement at the peak of his career. Oh, by the way, there's another mysterious thing about Rin: before that, he always wore a mask, whether he was streaming or playing matches. Many people couldn't find anything wrong with him, so they just criticized him for being ugly. He only took off the mask on the day he announced his retirement. You can probably imagine what happened."
Gao Min looked at the person walking at the front of the group. He was tall, with long limbs, a handsome face, and most importantly, he had a cool and aloof aura.
If she could enter the entertainment industry, her face and charisma alone would be enough to dominate countless idol dramas!
"...Could this be the legendary case of someone who could easily make a living off their looks, but insists on relying on their talent?"
The staff member standing nearby nodded in deep agreement, showing strong approval.
"So, he's no longer a professional player? He was specially invited by the organizers to come here now, and the others behind him were also invited by the organizers?"
"Rin is no longer a player; he's a coach now."
"Coach...?"
"Yes, Rin retired a year ago, last year, and was rehired by the club as a coach. This year is his first time leading a team in the World Esports Championship as a coach. Just this morning, and last night on the other side, they won the championship and made a glorious comeback. Those following behind him should be the members of the championship team. With so many esports fans here today, how can we not be excited to see them?"
"!!!"
Even Gao Min, who knew nothing about games, felt her blood pumping as she listened to the staff's explanation, not to mention the many game fans present who had witnessed Jiang Lin's past glories.
They were all like they'd been injected with chicken blood, shouting until their faces were red and their necks were thick.
After a moment of stunned silence, Gao Min felt somewhat worried about Ye Wanxi, who was still standing on the stage.
The timing of this group's arrival was extremely unfortunate; they practically walked in right on the last minute. Gao Min was somewhat worried that they had ill intentions.
Little did she know, her idea was completely unfounded.
Ye Wanxi's eyes lit up when she saw the person walking at the front of the group.
Although she didn't cheer or scream like the people below, she was just as excited and joyful as everyone else.
Jiang Lin led his people step by step onto the stage. The host, who was still standing next to Ye Wanxi, was stunned for a moment, then looked back and forth between Ye Wanxi and Jiang Lin.
A moment later, the host seemed to snap out of a daze and hurriedly stepped forward to try and talk to Jiang Lin first, hoping to salvage this somewhat serious broadcasting mishap.
"Rin-shin, you..."
Jiang Lin only had one figure in his eyes at that moment, and walked directly past him to Ye Wanxi.
The cheers from the crowd had long since faded away, and the two stood facing each other.
After about ten seconds, Jiang Lin broke the silence, a rare smile appearing on his usually aloof face: "We made it."
"Long time no see, Fourth...Brother?"
"Long time no see, this is a gift for you." Jiang Lin said, taking out a beautiful glass trophy from behind his back and handing it to Ye Wanxi.
This scene was captured by countless cameras at the scene, as well as by the live stream cameras in the broadcast room.
Almost instantly, Ye Wanxi became the object of envy, jealousy, and hatred for countless e-sports fans.
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! These two words can only describe my feelings right now. Rin actually gave away the World Championship trophy.]
[Aaaaaaah, that's Rin! That's the championship trophy! How could she possibly deserve it?! How could she possibly deserve it?! I'm going crazy!]
