Chapter 84 The Finals Begin
Lu Yinzhao looked at the camera, her eyebrows curving into a smile.
Pointing her tiny finger to her plate, she said in a childish voice, "This is braised pork with potatoes, pan-fried cod, stir-fried broccoli and shrimp, and stir-fried bok choy and tofu..."
After saying that, he pointed to another small plate and said with a smile, "These are my dessert fruits, kiwis and strawberries."
The fruit was sliced, and Lu Yinzhao casually picked one up and ate it in front of the camera, saying, "So juicy!"
"Zhaozhao, finish the rice in your bowl first," Yin Song reminded her off-camera.
"Oh." Lu Yinzhao stopped talking and began to eat quietly.
After the meal, Lu Cheng also came over to join in the fun.
He appeared in the frame for only half of the time; the camera only captured the area below his mouth, not his entire face.
"Zhao Zhao, Fourth Brother wants a strawberry too, can you feed me one?" The boy said, leaning in and opening his mouth. "Ahhhhhh!"
Lu Yinzhao simply took it with his hand and stuffed it into the other person's mouth.
"Mmm, so sweet! Thank you, baby!" Lu Cheng didn't forget to kiss Zhao Zhao on the cheek after finishing her meal.
Lu Yinzhao touched his wet face, “…”
The scene of the two brothers being affectionate was captured on camera, and Yin Song didn't even bother to edit it before posting it.
Her new contestant this month has kept everyone waiting for quite a while.
Fortunately, the duration satisfied the fans.
[Great news! Great news! Zhao Zhao's mukbang video has been updated!]
Look how much my electronic baby has grown!
As one of the earliest elderly people to pay attention to Zhao Zhao, I can now say that I watched her grow up, right?
It's visibly gotten much bigger...
Wow, Lu Cheng is in today's vlog?!
【Ahhh, my little one, I want to kiss him too!】
Zhao Zhao's appetite remains as good as ever; she looks very healthy.
[Looking at this makes me want to eat fruit too. I'm ordering right now!]
[Sorry, I'm digressing, but Lu Cheng seems to have matured quite a bit. Those lips he's wearing while eating strawberries...so sexy. (Face turns yellow)]
[Lu Cheng's younger brother will be an adult soon, won't he?]
[Hurry up and become an adult, it's not good to keep worrying about someone being a minor~]
Comments flooded in, and some people even shared the video vlog.
On Weibo, some Clear esports fans saw it and left comments.
[C-God is even in the mood to eat strawberries? Looks like he's very confident about the finals.]
When did Clear lose confidence in a match? I've even picked up his catchphrase: "This isn't a sure win!"
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Why are you sending a voice message here? I can almost hear it in my head.]
[C God lands a powerful attack right in your face, then gives a smug smile and says: Leave it to me, I guarantee a win!]
It's strange, in real life I hate pretentious and narcissistic people, but when it comes to Clear, I seem to be quite accepting of them.
I even became a fan of his because of his pretentiousness and narcissism. Am I hopeless?
[They're talented and good-looking, so they have the right to be pretentious and narcissistic. How many people in real life are both talented and incredibly handsome who are also pretentious and narcissistic? None, right?]
The person upstairs has revealed the truth.
Fans were having a heated discussion, and the haters, seizing the opportunity, came along. Although they had all witnessed Clear's strength, they still had to say something sarcastic before they would stop.
Clear is useless without a team; in a one-on-one situation, he'd be ranked near the bottom among professional players.
He relies entirely on his teammates to cover for him; he lacks strategy and tactics, he's just a reckless brute.
[If he's still so cocky, he's definitely going to crash and burn in the finals.]
Last year everyone praised him as a dark horse, which probably made him too arrogant. He's completely cocky now; there's no way he can win the championship this year!
I've never thought he was that good; he's all about image. If he continues to be this arrogant, I feel his career is over.
Lu Cheng surfed the internet quickly and also saw these sarcastic comments.
Two years ago, he would have used alternate accounts to diss them all and fought these trolls to the bitter end.
He doesn't care at all now. He's almost an adult, and it would be too petty for him to bother with these keyboard warriors.
He's destined for great things!
He will prove these people wrong with his achievements time and time again.
Don't think he's good enough? Think he's incapable? Think he's terrible?
No problem, let's win the championship every year!
Lu Cheng didn't believe that absolute strength couldn't shut them up.
Moreover, with Zhao Zhao cheering him on at the event, he will give it his all in this match and will definitely not embarrass his younger brother.
*
PGW finals day.
As evening approached, the Xingbei City Gymnasium was packed to capacity, bustling with activity.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating the start of this final.
On stage, a huge LED screen shone brightly, and some audience members were even more nervous and excited than the contestants.
This match was broadcast live with live commentary, and the camera focused on the commentary booth.
"Hello everyone, both those watching live and those watching online! I'm your old friend Ke'er!" A long-haired girl with pigtails introduced herself to the camera from the commentary booth.
"Hello everyone, I'm your commentator for today, Xiao Kai. Welcome to the PGW Spring Pro Tournament Finals!" A boy was sitting next to the girl.
The two will be providing commentary for the final match today.
Yin Song led Lu Yinzhao, who was fully armed, into the venue. Their seats were the closest to the competition area and were VIP seats arranged for them by Lu Cheng.
Lu Yinzhao was wearing a hair clip today, with a rectangular light sign fixed to it, and the text inside was even scrollable.
Clear is the champion forever!
This line of text scrolls out in a loop, its colors constantly changing in a rainbow.
Yin Song also held up a banner on his phone, which featured Lu Cheng's handsome photo, along with his professional ID and real name.
Lu Yinzhao's hands were also busy; he held a glow stick in one hand, a small triangular flag in the other, and a handmade megaphone around his neck—he was fully equipped.
Soon, with the host's introduction, both teams took the stage one by one.
Today, Lu Cheng's team, UPW, is playing against the APEX team.
The two teams are old rivals and have faced each other in previous years. Some people have mocked APEX as the perennial runner-up, always being suppressed by UPW.
This year, APEX brought in top players from other clubs, changed coaches, and redesigned their competition strategy specifically to counter UPW, all in an effort to win the championship. They have really made a lot of preparations.
Before the match, Coach Zheng gave Lu Cheng a thorough warning, telling him to be careful because the opponent would definitely exploit his weaknesses.
Lu Cheng wasn't afraid of them; he simply enjoyed the thrill of having his adrenaline pumping.
Want to target him? Then bring it on and see who has the last laugh.
Xiao Kai: "Alright, both teams' players are in position. Let's look forward to the match together."
Kerr: "Who will ultimately lift this championship trophy? We'll have to wait and see!"
Lu Yinzhao saw Lu Cheng on the stage adjust his headphones and equipment, his expression serious and focused.
Lu Yinzhao was filled with excitement; Fourth Brother looked so handsome today.
As expected, the young man possessed boundless charm in his field.
"Mom, give me the camera, I want to take nice pictures of my fourth brother," Lu Yinzhao said to Yin Song beside her.
"Okay, Mom will get it for you." Yin Song took Zhao Zhao's special camera out of her bag and gently handed it to him.
Lu Yinzhao adjusted the parameters and started taking pictures.
"Little friend, are you also a fan of Clear? You're so young, yet you can take photos!" A young lady next to me, who was also a fan of Lu Cheng, asked with a smile.
The lights in the audience area dimmed, and Lu Yinzhao put on a small mask again, so the girl next to him didn't recognize Lu Yinzhao at all.
Lu Yinzhao nodded: "I'm a huge fan of Clear! He'll definitely win the championship today!"
The girl was amused by Clear's little fan and said to her best friend, "Look at him, our C-god is amazing! Even such a young kid is a fan of him. Do you want to switch your allegiance to him? Hehe!"
My best friend pouted and said, "Hey, stop messing around! I can't betray our Captain Tao!"
"Alright, alright, the match has started, let's watch it!"
The big screen will project the battle between the two teams, showing a map from a god's-eye view, so the audience can clearly see the routes chosen by the players.
Xiao Kai: "The ban/pick picks in this game... seem to be at a disadvantage for UPW. Lu Cheng's best pick, 'Dark Night Wind Chime,' has been banned."
Kerr: "This APEX wave is aimed at Lu Cheng. I wonder what he'll do next?"
Lu Yinzhao chuckled to himself.
The other side is probably going to miscalculate. If they think that his fourth brother is only good at this role, they will be very wrong.
Clear was revered as the god of PGW in his former world, naturally because...
He's good at everything!
Lu Cheng has an exceptionally high sensitivity to characters. When others comment on what he is good at, it's simply because he plays a particular character more often.
For this competition, he tried almost every character and could quickly master each one. However, his personality is to play aggressively and he doesn't like to drag things out. He prefers to overwhelm his opponent with skill. So even if others ban the character that everyone thinks he is good at, he still has a lot of aggressive characters to choose from.
As soon as the match started, Lu Cheng faced off against the enemy, and the first wave of battle was initiated by him.
At this point, the live stream chat started swearing again.
I told you he was a brute.
His playing style completely disregards the lives of his teammates!
[If I can beat this, I'll eat shit while doing a handstand!]
[His character isn't suited to this fighting style, is he insane?]
[Can't you substitute him if he can't play? Even a substitute would be better!]
These people had been spitting out the message for less than ten seconds when the screen showed that UPW had already taken down one of APEX's players.
The comments paused for a moment, then continued.
Winning one kill doesn't prove anything.
This is due to the character's dominance; there's nothing that can be done about it, and it doesn't mean he's strong.
I could do that too. With a weapon that tough, I could kill someone with my eyes closed.
[If you're so capable, go and take down that tanky enemy; he can't even scratch him.]
The game's sound effects for a double kill rang out!
The UPW fans at the scene went wild, the APEX fans were stunned, and the live stream chat was buzzing with excitement…
Silence fell.
【…………】
"Fourth brother is so amazing! Mom, look!" Lu Yinzhao excitedly reached out to grab Yin Song's hand.
Yin Song nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Mom saw it! Our Cheng is the best!"
Although she doesn't play games, she has been quietly following her son's matches, and over time she has come to understand the rules of these games.
At this point, Yin Song was still able to understand the meaning of the letters and numbers on the screen.
"You guys, follow Lu Cheng and harvest along that line. I'm going to raid their base," Captain Tao Xiangyu ordered.
Jiang Yuanbai: "OK!"
Yi Jing: "I can feel A-Cheng's anger today, hahaha!"
Su Haocheng: "Well done."
Lu Cheng didn't say much today, and his expression was serious throughout. He didn't let his guard down and used the terrain on the map to adjust his position.
We caught the opponent off guard at the beginning, and now it's up to them to decide whether to come to their aid or abandon the energy monument and continue exploring other routes.
He needs to continue the attack and force them to reveal themselves to buy time for his captain.
So, after seizing the initiative and developing his economy, Lu Cheng immediately targeted the two opponents he had just killed. The opponents revived and were killed again within seconds.
[ber...did you adjust the game settings?]
Is this... reasonable?
Why do I feel like we're playing a completely different game?
Isn't the character he got known for being fragile?
[Sorry, I was too loud just now. Clear's killing spree today seems beyond reproach.]
The style of the bullet comments has begun to gradually change.
Finally, under Lu Cheng's firepower, Tao Xiangyu sneaked through the dense forest and swamp alone, gradually dismantling the energy station on the other side.
This round marks the victory for the team, with the score at 1-0.
Lu Cheng exhaled, closed his eyes, and took off his headphones.
When he opened his eyes again, the light in them was even sharper and more resolute.
At that moment, the camera turned to him, and a close-up shot was taken, causing screams and gasps from the audience.
The live stream audience was also screaming; both Lu Cheng's fans and non-fans were assimilated.
【Ahhh! I will always love Clear's face!】
[This game was so cool, and his face was devastatingly handsome! It's unbearable!]
Where are all those people who were being sarcastic just now? I'm asking you, aren't you ashamed of yourselves?
[I'm waiting to see that guy do a handstand and eat shit after Lu Cheng wins the championship. I've already noted down his ID; don't let him be a sore loser!]
I underestimated Clear before. Although I don't know if UPW can win in the end, I'm on Lu Cheng's side right now. This guy is something else.
"Go, Fourth Brother!"
After Lu Cheng won the game, Lu Yinzhao waved his glow stick and flag frantically, the flag almost smoking from the waves.
During the break between games, Lu Cheng saw Lu Yinzhao cheering him on from below the stage, and he smiled at the little guy.
His smile contained so much, as if saying: Watch how I win!
The Lu Cheng fan next to Lu Yinzhao almost fainted. She covered her flushed face and screamed, "Ahhh! Clear just smiled at me! He was looking at me, right? He saw my support! Ahhhh, I'm so excited!"
Her best friend next to her pinched her, "Calm down! Calm down! Maybe he's looking at me?"
Lu Yinzhao: "..."
Sorry, it's me.
