Chapter 11 Dahundan No…
In the following days, apart from taking time to renew her documents, Nan Zhiyi spent her days going out and having fun with Song Meng, and her nights staying at You Xin's house.
He hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.
So much so that when I received a message from Sister Li again, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
[Stars-Zhang Li: Xiaoyi, the All-Star schedule is out. I received a notification that Yux will participate as scheduled. Do you know anyone who can find out about Yux's situation beforehand? You'll have a team competition, and it would be best to use this opportunity to clear up any misunderstandings between fans.]
Nam Ji-yi has almost completely forgotten about the All-Star event.
The voting ended three months ago, and he unsurprisingly won first place in the anchor group, leading the second place by a full double the number of votes.
In the player group, yux also defeated milk, the champion main carry player from HYG, by a narrow margin of 40,000 votes.
Milk's fans were very dissatisfied with the ranking and deliberately chose the time after CG lost the final to cause a ruckus on Weibo.
As the two most popular teams in the league, the rivalry between CG and HYG dates back to five years ago – in 2020, at the second ROE World Invitational Tournament, HYG lost to CG in the quarterfinals, and CG won the championship that same year.
At the time, CG fans ridiculed HYG fans. However, the following year, after HYG replaced their main carry player with rookie player milk, they defeated CG 3-2 in the finals to win the championship.
After a narrow defeat in the finals, members of the CG championship team left one after another. Before yux arrived, the team had been in a slump for a long time.
Therefore, the phrase that HYG fans love to say most is "milk beat the old CG to disband".
However, Nan Zhiyi felt they had no right to mock CG for winning runner-up again after their reorganization. After all, HYG was even worse last year, failing to even qualify for the World Championship.
Despite the controversy surrounding the results, it is now a fait accompli that Angel and Yux will team up for the 2v2v2 entertainment segment.
Nan Zhiyi stared at the words "find out the situation," wondering how he should reply. Should she say, "What a coincidence, Yux is with me right now. I'll ask him when he gets back from class?"
After hesitating for a moment, Nan Zhiyi replied: "Thank you, sis. My friend knows some things about Yux. I can ask him what the arrangements are."
He did not disclose any further details about You Xin's current situation.
[Stars-Zhang Li: You were able to contact him? That's great!]
[Stars-Zhang Li: By the way, you must be careful with your words and actions lately, especially during the All-Star game. Try not to bring up any controversial topics.]
[Stars-Zhang Li: Someone anonymously sent an email to my work inbox saying that the person who filmed that video is someone you know, and that they might have other ulterior motives. I guess it's your streamer friend trying to warn you, but doesn't want to reveal their identity. Anyway, be careful lately.]
Nan Zhiyi: "???"
He was a little incredulous and read Sister Li's words again from beginning to end.
Did I offend someone?
He sent his question over.
[Stars-Zhang Li: It's not necessarily because you offended anyone. You have a lot of traffic on ROE, and many people are envious of you. Everyone's doing live streaming; who doesn't want a piece of the pie?]
[Stars-Zhang Li: Okay, that's enough chatting while we're out. Have fun. Contact me anytime if you need anything.]
-
Sister Li's words kept lingering in Nan Zhiyi's mind, so much so that he had a nightmare during his afternoon nap. In the dream, several of his familiar old fans criticized him for making his videos increasingly boring, questioning whether he was making too much money and had lost his original intention of being a content creator.
Even though it was a dream, it's hard not to feel good after waking up.
Nan Zhiyi played with Kenken in the living room for a while, then spaced out for a bit.
He sat back on the sofa, opened his phone, and found his Weibo account that he hadn't logged into in a long time. He wanted to secretly search his name and see what other people thought of him.
However, before he could even click into the search box, his eyes were drawn to the highlighted keywords on the homepage.
[Streamer Tangyuan organizes a group buy for Yux]
Nan Zhiyi was stunned.
He read the entry again from beginning to end to make sure he hadn't misread it.
[@StreamerSlicer: It's outrageous! Streamer Tangyuan violently attacked the CG team members: Yux is just a nobody, CG doesn't care whether he's there or not!]
After a long hiatus, the streamer @秋城之主 (Qiuchengzhizhu) returned to streaming, playing a four-player game with @ROE汤圆 (ROEtangyuan), @CG.Wind, and @CG.beer. During the stream, Tangyuan commented: "Yux is now just a sideline player. Xww on CG is doing pretty well, isn't he? Frankly, he's just benefiting from his teammates' performance and can't accept being benched."
In the last regular season match before the holiday, CG defeated HYG 2-0, and has now achieved a four-game winning streak in the Spring Split...
The video content is a clip from a live stream.
The camera angle is from Tangyuan's live stream. Tangyuan, sporting his striking blond hair, has one foot propped on a gaming chair, reading the comments and laughing as he goes:
"What do you mean I'm violent? I messed up my teammates in the finals, and I can't even say anything?"
"Don't come to my livestream to defend him, Mom. It was his fault to begin with. He didn't communicate with his teammates, and he fed the enemy, ruining the whole game. His teammates have worked hard all year; who wants to see this result?"
"Brother Yi? Isn't Brother Yi supposed to be in seclusion recently and not streaming?"
"Stop dragging Yi Ge into this. You've already ruined him enough."
"Do you really think Yux is some kind of precious treasure that everyone cherishes? Brother Yi is only giving you face usually. You're always picking on Brother Yi and insulting him, how can he not hate you?"
Nan Zhiyi didn't even need to look to know what the comments section would be like.
[This is outrageous! He said this and Wind and Beer didn't react at all? Doesn't this just confirm the internal discord within the CG team?]
[It's been rumored for a while that Yux hasn't returned to the group [laughing and crying emoji] They must have fallen out a long time ago]
[beer and wind went a bit too far. After all, they were teammates who won the championship together last year. Going to play squads with this kind of streamer...]
[Don't include CG members, this has nothing to do with them. It's an event organized by CG and Stars, and they were asked to participate. Neither of them even did a live stream.]
[Is Tangyuan a friend of Angel Yi? Angel Yi apologized on Weibo last week for that video. Doesn't this just confirm that Angel Yi was deliberately trying to ride on Yux's popularity and actually dislikes Yux behind his back?]
[It's as if Tangyuan herself has never used Yux before.]
These people are a complete bunch of snakes and rats, two-faced and despicable, truly disgusting.
I'm curious if Yux will still participate in the All-Star game? If he does, won't he be teaming up with Angel again?
[...I can't even imagine how exciting the scene will be.]
[Yux wouldn't tolerate this kind of person. His mouth is like it's been poisoned; I can't wait to see what he'll say in the interview.]
The live stream had just ended half an hour ago. Nan Zhiyi felt her head buzzing, and the blood was almost rushing to her face.
He logged out of Weibo and opened the group chat for the "Eternal Friendship Conference".
[Angel's Intention: @ROE Tangyuan?]
Nan Zhiyi kept deleting and typing in the chat box.
He wasn't good at breaking ties with others, especially since the other party was someone he knew well.
Tangyuan is actually only 19 years old this year.
His family was not well-off; his parents died early, and he had a seriously ill grandmother who needed long-term dialysis treatment.
His family was really poor, so Tangyuan went out to work after finishing junior high school. Later, by chance, he started live streaming on Stars. After he signed with a guild, Nan Zhiyi heard about his situation from Qiu Cheng and invited him to participate in the production of her videos.
At that time, Tangyuan only had tens of thousands of followers. Nan Zhiyi would duo queue with him during his live streams, deliberately not streaming herself to help him gain popularity. The 17-year-old was exceptionally sincere, repeatedly saying "Thank you, Brother Yi," calling him a great benefactor on her live streaming journey.
Nan Zhiyi solemnly typed a long message: "I hope you won't mention me and Yux in your future livestreams. Your claim that I hate him is entirely your conjecture. Perhaps your intentions were good, but doing so will only exacerbate the conflict between our respective fan groups."
I just clicked send, but then I noticed a red exclamation mark next to the dialog box.
Unable to send messages in a group chat you've already left.
Tangyuan is the group owner of the group chat.
He kicked himself out of the group.
Nan Zhiyi was stunned.
A sense of indescribable absurdity rose in his mind.
Then he remembered that Qiu Cheng had also joined the live stream at that time.
Why didn't Qiu Cheng refute Tang Yuan's words on his behalf? He clearly knew that Tang Yuan was misinterpreting his meaning.
They've known each other for so many years. Qiu Cheng couldn't possibly be unaware of himself... so even he...
"What happened?"
A voice suddenly came from behind.
Nan Zhiyi almost jumped off the sofa.
You Xin held Ken Ken, stood behind the sofa, and looked down at him.
"When did you get back? You were so quiet, you scared me..." Nan Zhiyi touched her chest and turned off her phone screen.
“Just got back.” You Xin put his hand between the nibbler and his face to stop it from enthusiastically licking his chin. “I called you twice when I came in, but you didn’t hear me.”
I realized I had been daydreaming.
"It's nothing, it's just..."
Nan Zhiyi didn't know how to explain her situation for a moment, then suddenly remembered what Sister Li had said: "Are you going to participate in the All-Star game in a few days?"
You Xin nodded: "I will go back then."
Nan Zhiyi drawled out, "Oh..."
“I don’t have classes this afternoon. Would you like to play a couple of games with me?” You Xin extended an olive branch to him, “Consider it a practice session.”
-
Nan Zhiyi never imagined that an entertainment event like the All-Star Game could have a pre-game training session.
You Xin had two computers in his gaming room. He chose the one that didn't seem to be used often, turned it on, logged into the ROE client, and logged into his European server alt account that he hadn't used in ages.
This account only has three friends.
"Let me add you as a friend," Nan Zhiyi suggested.
You Xin recited a string of numbers.
"Just tell me your name." Nan Zhiyi entered the account name correctly after two tries. He glanced at the other person's nickname, "Hey, your name is D, Big... Mix-up—"
He paused abruptly.
Nan Zhiyi seemed to understand why the other party wouldn't give their name directly.
In the center of the screen, the nickname from the search results lay prominently displayed:
【Dahundan No.001】
Nan Zhiyi: "...?"
Nan Zhiyi: "??????"
