Chapter 12. Has our little wandering god gone mad? ...
ROE's 2v2v2 mode has only one map: Sky City.
This mode is also known as "Battle Royale" by players—three teams of players spawn on three floating islands connected by steep and narrow bridges.
In this mode, the respawn point cannot be moved. Players must protect their own respawn point while attacking the enemy, and eliminate all enemies to win.
Two characters, one black and one white, were crammed together at the tiny spawn point.
All of Nan Zhiyi's alternate game characters have the same white hair and furry ears as his main character.
You Xin's game character has the same hairstyle as him: short on top and long on the bottom, with a slight curl and gradient gray ends. The only difference is that his eyes are emerald green.
Nan Zhiyi tried his best to ignore the strange ID above the character's head, but [Dahundan No.001] seemed determined to make things difficult for him, rushing to the front right from the start, with that string of text flashing in front of his eyes from beginning to end.
Nan Zhiyi: "..."
In the free-for-all mode, both players can choose their class very casually.
You Xin chose the [Red Elf], a class he didn't play often, and Nan Zhiyi habitually chose the [Archer] to cooperate with him.
However, he was distracted throughout the entire battle, and only one of his ten arrows hit its mark. Youxin's red sprite had already rushed to the other side's face. He followed behind to cross the bridge, but lost his footing and slipped, falling down the bridge.
[Archer] AngelYi died from a fall.
"..." Nan Zhiyi had to explain, "I didn't mean to! I was just spacing out."
The next second, new content appeared in the chat box.
[All]AAApple: You suck.
While moving around, his opponent took the opportunity to send a message mocking his poor skills.
After all, many people are knocked off the bridge in the Sky City map, but very few people jump off the bridge voluntarily.
"It's nothing," You Xin said calmly, manipulating his character to raise the magic vine in his hand, and with a few swift movements, he turned the two people opposite him into two corpses lying on the ground.
【[All]AAApple: ? ? ?】
【[All]AAApple: WTF? ? ?】
When Nan Zhiyi was revived, You Xin had just returned home and brought him the equipment that had been dropped by the opponent after being killed.
Perhaps because "yux," who dominated the competition, also has this image, 【Dahundan No.001】 looks menacing and gives off a very unapproachable vibe.
The first game ended quickly, with both players winning without any doubt.
Back in his room, You Xin quickly made preparations.
"Next round?" he asked.
Not only did he ask, but he also deliberately turned his head to look at Nan Zhiyi.
...Nan Zhiyi felt she couldn't keep pretending to be stupid any longer.
"That, that one."
He closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and forced himself to ask the question.
"...Why did you choose this ID?"
You Xin looked at him quietly, without replying for a long time.
Nan Zhiyi had no choice but to endure his gaze, which seemed to burn her to the core.
After a long time, You Xin finally looked away.
“I thought you wouldn’t ask me,” he said casually.
Nan Zhiyi: "..."
He did it on purpose!
He absolutely, definitely, already saw that video!
I was so surprised I thought he hadn't checked Weibo...
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Besides Weibo, there are so many other social media platforms. That video had already been circulating wildly on social media accounts; You Xin isn't a caveman, how could he not have seen it...?
"I'm sorry," Nan Zhiyi said sheepishly, slumping onto the table. "I was drunk that day, I didn't mean to yell at you... I don't remember anything at all..."
“You said I am,” You Xin said, as if trying to help him recall, “…a bad guy, a little bastard, and a big jerk?”
"..." Nan Zhiyi's expression turned pained. "I really don't remember! I don't know why I'm saying this..."
You Xin raised one eyebrow slightly, as if silently posing a question.
“You came to watch my match on the day of the final,” he suddenly pointed out.
Another rumble of thunder.
Nan Zhiyi was caught off guard by his words. But You Xin continued, "You were holding a banner back then."
“…” and so on.
“It says,” You Xin paused deliberately, as if she was trying to recall something carefully, “‘The husband’s appearance is the wife’s glory’?”
Nan Zhiyi felt like he couldn't breathe. He really wanted to find a hole to bury himself in right now: "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry... I didn't write that. It was already there when I got it!"
He said weakly, "Please, stop talking..."
You Xin watched as he buried his face in his arms, only revealing a little bit of his bright red ear tips. After a while, he smiled as if he were in a good mood: "I was just kidding. You don't need to apologize to me."
She paused, then said softly, "Except for that day, when you pretended not to know me. I was really heartbroken."
There wasn't a trace of genuine sadness in his tone, but Nan Zhiyi was completely disoriented and incapable of thinking: "Then, what should we do?"
“Make it up to me,” You Xin replied almost immediately, as if she already knew the answer.
"...What do you want, compensation?"
You Xin thought for a moment.
“Invite me to your show,” he said. “You decide the content. It will just be you and me.”
Besides sharing his own research findings, the account "Angel Yi" also invites friends to participate in filming videos. Sometimes his friends act as victims, being pranked by him, and sometimes they join him in ripping off innocent bystanders. Many streamers and even some professional gamers have participated in this content. Therefore, his fans jokingly refer to this activity as "appearing on a TV show."
Nan Zhiyi stopped rubbing her face against her arm.
He slightly raised his head, revealing his eyes: "Is that all?"
You Xin: "If you have a better solution."
"No, no, no, no." Nan Zhiyi raised his head and covered half of his face with his forearm. He said with some hesitation, "It's actually not appropriate for me to post that kind of video."
Yux disappeared for three months, and the first thing he posted after returning was a video he made with a streamer? That just doesn't seem right.
Upon hearing this, You Xin shifted his position in his chair.
"Why isn't it suitable?" he asked. "Was I bad at it? Was I embarrassing? Did it not create any entertainment value?"
Nan Zhiyi was stunned by his barrage of questions. He almost laughed: "No, why would you think that? It's just that I usually record these kinds of videos with my streamer friends. You still have to play in the competition when you get back, it's easy to get caught up in the drama..."
“Oh,” You Xin said, “So you still prefer to record with your ‘friends’.”
"For example, your roommate? Lord Qiu? Is that his name? The other day when it was his turn, he played terribly. And you even chose to hang the cat on him."
Nan Zhiyi: "..." How did this suddenly turn into a comparison and disparagement?!
"Should we find Moon, who you often do live streams with? Shuo Shuo? Or that Tang Yuan?" You Xin continued to list the names one by one.
Nan Zhiyi wondered how he remembered her friends' IDs so clearly: "That's not what I meant..."
"Even if they stir up trouble for you during their live streams and let you get attacked online, you remain indifferent?"
Nan Zhiyi was slightly taken aback.
“Let’s make a video. Anything is fine,” You Xin said calmly. “Let’s clarify those rumors.”
Nan Zhiyi blinked, her heart softening slightly.
It turns out that it wasn't about "wanting compensation" at all, nor was it about changing the ID to embarrass him... He just wanted to clear his name.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and then You Xin said, "I saw that video early that morning. I wanted to send a message to clarify the matter, but I didn't have the account."
Nan Zhiyi was taken aback.
"CG took your account?"
“Yes. It’s not just Weibo,” You Xin said. “They changed the passwords for all my accounts on various platforms, including Stars and my Asian server game account.”
Nan Zhiyi was even more surprised: "You even took the game account?"
No wonder yux hasn't logged into his main and secondary accounts for over a hundred days; apparently, the management took them away, worried he might say something detrimental to the club.
For Yuxin, this means that he no longer has any means to express his opinions under the identity of "yux".
"Why didn't you ask someone to speak to you on your behalf? Your fans have been very worried about you," Nan Zhiyi couldn't help but say. "Bai Yu said he asked you on WeChat but you didn't reply to him."
“This is between me and CG. I don’t want to drag other people into this,” You Xin said.
“As for WD’s Pigeon…” he said, a slightly disdainful look on his face, “I don’t want him to know. If he finds out, almost the whole world will know.”
Nan Zhiyi: "..."
There's really no reason to refute that.
"Okay." He finally gave in and compromised, "I just had an idea that I didn't have time to film..."

That evening, on a certain gaming forum.
The All-Star schedule is out, Yux's debut is on February 14th? Does this mean he'll participate as scheduled?
[Have the fans found a new job for your little gaming god yet? Don't let him actually end up delivering food!]
[CG fans, what are your thoughts on Yux now?]
[The schedule is out! Yux is really going to team up with Angel Yi, and the other two teams have Wind and Milk. This is going to be really interesting.]
Among the numerous posts about daily team building activities that were highlighted on the homepage, one title stood out.
Has anyone seen Yux's EU server account? What does his new ID "Dahundan No.001" mean?
0L (Original Poster)
And he even spent the whole afternoon duo-queuing with someone named "AngelYi"??
Holy crap, can someone snap me out of it? Has our little gaming god gone mad? When one door closes, another opens; when the game goes wrong, the game goes wrong? Are they learning from the excellent traditions of the Chinese entertainment industry—when something goes wrong, they use it as a warm-up, preparing to go into the business of whitewashing their image?
