Chapter 14 "The Alliance should give you a declaration..."
Early morning, in Nan Zhiyi's fan group N.
The group chat, which had been somewhat quiet due to the streamer's long absence from broadcasting and almost two months without any updates, suddenly became lively again because of a single message.
[Administrator] Muffin: @All members, Xiaoyi has updated a new video~
【！】
【！！！】
Grandma, the streamer you follow has updated!!
[Wow, the latest masterpiece from Evil White Velvet!]
Let me see, let me see, Mom missed you so much!
However, before everyone could even enjoy their excitement for a minute, after frantically clicking into Stars, the group suddenly fell into an eerie silence once again.
In a group of two thousand people, not a single person spoke for more than a minute.
a long time.
Finally, someone broke the silence and asked a question that came from the bottom of their heart—
[Am I hallucinating from staying up all night playing games??]
-
Meanwhile, in the yux fan group, which had also been silent for a long time and had been chatting casually for three months,...
The group chat administrator suddenly sent a picture to the chat.
Don't worry, everyone—Xiao You is perfectly safe and sound.
In the picture, Yux is facing the camera, with her hands crossed in front of her, looking casual.
The edges of the image showed obvious signs of cropping, and it was soon discovered that there was another foot in the corner of the image.
Where did this photo come from? Did Xiaoyou post it herself?
Who is that person next to me?
[This doesn't look like the training room... so has he really not returned to the team?]
About half a minute later, someone quickly forwarded a link to the group.
[Share] A crazy brawl with the strongest champion main DPS player yux? [@Angel's Stars Video]
And so, another group chat fell into a brief silence.

Open the Stars platform and then open Angel's Homepage.
Registered for 3 years, with 86 long videos and 41 short videos submitted.
Of these, 126 video titles did not mention the IDs of any other streamers or contestants.
Of course, the latest issue is an exception.
The latest video is very simple, only 18 minutes long. The first 16 minutes are edited from the 2v2v2 mode. "Dahundan No.001" chose the [Thief], and "AngelYi" chose the [Catman] and attached it to him. Both are more functional classes, a lineup that looks like a complete free win.
The cat-like creatures are very poor at protecting themselves; they can only be effective when they are with their teammates.
However, if two people walk together at the same time, the chances of their home being raided are very high.
If we stay on the island, it's equivalent to giving up the chance to acquire resources on the neutral island.
But soon, the other players realized something was wrong.
Shortly after the start of the game, Island 1 sent one person to the neutral island and one person to defend their base.
Meanwhile, the thieves and cat people from Island 2 both set out.
With a natural advantage in a 2v1 situation, the player on Island 1 was quickly eliminated. After the kill notification was sent out, the two players on Island 3 immediately headed to Island 2.
There's no one on the two islands right now, it's the perfect time to raid their base.
However, just as the two quickly arrived at Island 2 and were about to begin dismantling the respawn point, suddenly—
A small staff struck them squarely in the face.
Neither of them had time to react before they died on the spot.
Players on the three islands couldn't help but open their equipment menu.
You wouldn't believe it until you looked: why did this thief buy all movement speed items?
Why is the cat-person not buying any armor at all, but instead buying all damage buffs?
Thieves already have the fastest base movement speed in the game. With the addition of movement speed gear, they can reach speeds approximately 1.7 times faster than other classes.
Players on Island 1 and Island 3 initially thought they had encountered a lucky break.
Unexpectedly, for the next 10 minutes or so, they were chased all over the field by a thief who was equipped with full movement speed items, moved extremely nimbly and was as fast as a ghost, and the nuke cat on the thief's back who was equipped with full damage items and wielded a small staff with amazing damage.
Is this even a game that humans can play?
The player angrily typed in the public chat: shi ren?
That's incredibly sinister!!!
With the last enemy character permanently eliminated, the game enters the results screen.
Then, the scene shifts, and suddenly we return from the game to reality.
This is a video that was clearly taken with a mobile phone. The background is a room that resembles a study. Nan Zhiyi is sitting in front of the screen with her legs together, her hands on her knees, and her posture is very upright.
In stark contrast was You Xin, who was standing next to him, his chin resting on his hand and his whole body leaning slightly towards him.
"Um, hello everyone." He waved in a formulaic manner, with a sweet smile, as if he wasn't the one who had just been ruthless and vicious in the game. "I'm Angel Yi, it's been a long time, everyone."
After Nan Zhiyi finished speaking, she turned to the person next to her, signaling him to speak.
You Xin thought for a moment: "What should I say?"
"...Introduce yourself!"
Yu Xin blinked. "I thought I didn't need an introduction," he said. "Hello everyone, I'm Yux."
Nan Zhiyi's lips twitched noticeably, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked back at the camera: "Yux and I will both be attending the All-Star game next Friday. You can watch the live stream on the official Eternal esports account..."
You Xin chimed in from the side: "The alliance should pay you for the publicity."
Nan Zhiyi's expression was already starting to betray her emotions: "...We hope everyone can come and support us. Well then, we'll see you there!"
He waved at the camera, a look of relief on his face as if he had just finished reciting his lines.
You Xin waved to him, and he smiled slightly: "See you then."
The video ends here.
The Stars platform gives special weight to Nam Ji-yi's account, so this video was immediately pushed to many people's homepages.
[…I've finished reading it, and I don't know what to say, so I'll just wish you a speedy delivery of your baby.]
【Holy crap, they really know each other?? And they're such good friends???】
[He smiled! He smiled!! It's been so long since I've seen the young master so happy!!!]
[This is terrifying, I feel like it's about to be born inside my phone]
【Ahhhhhh, Mom, I've found the real deal!!】
[I'm speechless! So that so-called video of you two swearing was just you flirting?? You turned everyone into a part of the show [question][question]]
[The strongest champion main DPS? Is this how you title a game when you're a champion?]
The league champions have now been stripped of their championship status, right?
[Never mind all that, he loves it so much. Even at this hour, he still can't resist adding a long list of titles. I'm so jealous of him.]
[Image] When will the girl in this building start a live stream of herself eating a keyboard? I can reimburse you for the cost!
However, at the same time, there are still many discordant voices in the comments section.
[...yux, what benefits did you receive to help Angel Yi clear his name? So the fans who fought for you when he criticized you are completely unimportant to you? ...It feels like I've never known you at all.]
[? It seems your Yux isn't clean either. He's had a huge falling out with his former employer, isn't the streamer posting the video just helping him divert attention from the situation?]
[Everyone, just leave. This is a video specifically designed to whitewash someone. It's too obviously a publicity stunt. Two people who didn't know each other before suddenly become best buddies? It's obvious they're not good people.]
So it's actually confirmed that this EU server account is actually being used by yux himself [laughing and crying emoji]. He obviously changed the name himself, just to dispel the rumors about Angel [laughing and crying emoji]. Anyone with eyes can see that these two are incredibly close. So, those solo stans who are still arguing, be careful, things might change later [clown emoji][clown emoji]
...
In just one morning, the video received millions of views.
Besides a large group of eager onlookers, a small group of fans also began their new scheme in secret.
Let's get started.
It's said that the internet has a memory, and sure enough, in just half a day, someone actually found a clue in a post from three or four years ago where a passerby received a free ticket to watch a secondary league match.
A passerby posted a photo of the audience seating area and the stage. Sitting on the small, somewhat shabby-looking stage were the four members of CG.Y, with Yux naturally among them.
In the picture, she happened to capture the profile of the boy in the front row turning around to take something out of his backpack.
Although the boy had black hair, many people recognized him at a glance.
—Isn't this the very embodiment of Angelic Will?!
Nan Zhiyi's hair was a little shorter back then, and his skin looked a shade or two darker. According to speculation in the comments section, the timeline is from when he first entered university. He had his hair cut short during military training and got tanned by the sun, and he hadn't recovered yet.
His face looked slightly immature, and he was grinning from ear to ear, his eyes almost squinting into slits.
At eighteen or nineteen, they were still innocent and naive teenagers.
A new debate has been sparked, with arguments that "this is just a coincidental photo, Angel Yi has always been a CG fan, and it's normal for her to go to the CG.Y competition," and "what's so hard to admit? The two of them have known each other for a long time, much longer than any of you have known them."
The other party then replied, "Since they've known each other for so long, why have they been pretending not to know each other all these years?"
Both sides stuck to their own versions of events and argued endlessly.
However, shortly after, another blogger released new information.
This blogger is neither a fan of Yux nor Angel, but just an ordinary blogger who enjoys watching CN regional competitions.
He posted a screenshot from three months ago showing Angel Yi liking his own video using his main account, along with the caption: "[I have a guess that Angel Yi might not be a CG team fan, but a true pure-blooded Yux die-hard solo stan.]"
The video is titled "CG Lounge After the Finals".
The content was AI-generated—several team members were sitting on the sofa in the lounge, each playing on their phones, when a few seconds later they suddenly threw down their phones, jumped up, and started wrestling on the spot.
Finally, AI.Yux pulled out a big stick from somewhere and performed a Hong Kong movie martial arts scene on the spot, swinging the stick and knocking everyone present down.
Fans of both sides: "………………" For a moment, it was hard to tell who was more insane.
