Chapter 843 The Cleaning Team Ignites the Entire Internet
Shen Xing returned to the lounge and did not tell anyone about his conversation with Coach Haichang. He simply smiled and encouraged everyone, "You also got a photo with Coach Haichang. Everyone, cheer up and don't let him down."
Cheers erupted throughout the stadium as the University League Summer Tournament officially kicked off with the debut of the first team.
About an hour later, staff came to inform the Longcheng University team to prepare to wait.
From the commentary booth, the gentle voice of the female commentator rang out: "The next two teams to appear are—'Longcheng University Team' and 'East China University of Political Science and Law Team'."
"First, let's turn our attention to the red team, the 'Longcheng University Team,' whose brand-new lineup will make its debut in the university league under the leadership of captain Shen Xing. It's worth noting that this team consists of three girls and two boys; such a mixed lineup is a first in our league."
The male commentator immediately chimed in: "With three female players on the field at the same time, I wonder if Longcheng University has some secret weapon up their sleeve, or if they're just trying to grab attention with their lineup—"
Before he could finish speaking, deafening laughter suddenly erupted in the stadium.
Shen Xing and his group of five walked onto the stage in a line. When the audience heard that there were three girls in the group, they all looked at the big screen with curiosity, but they immediately noticed their team uniforms.
——"Cleanliness of the Realm".
The entire audience burst into laughter. As high-definition footage from the live stream and on-site filming leaked, the "team uniform meme" of the Longda team quickly went viral and trended on social media even before the match began.

With the added element of the "team uniform joke," the three-girl lineup of the Longda University team has naturally piqued the curiosity of audiences nationwide.
It's worth noting that the popularity of university leagues has never matched that of professional leagues, mainly due to the significant skill gap between players. However, this time, the novelty of the three-woman lineup unexpectedly attracted a large audience, causing a surge in viewership in the league's live stream. Within just ten minutes, it broke the all-time high online viewership record, even surpassing the peak of previous finals.
"The female contestant is so beautiful!"
"This is the first time I've seen so many female players in a university league!"
"Longda's got some skills, managing to gather three beauties. Let me see what's going on!"
"I'm a sucker for good looks, and Longda has already won over me!"
The screen was flooded with comments, and a steady stream of viewers came to watch, with a particularly high proportion of female viewers.
Seeing a three-woman lineup on such a stage has female viewers even more excited, eager to see the female contestants shine on stage.

Qingyu Mountain Villa.
The live broadcast of the game was being projected onto the TV in the living room.
“Dad, look, the boy in the middle is Xingxing.” Shen Jingjing explained to the old man from the side, “This competition is being broadcast live nationwide, and the total number of online viewers across all platforms has exceeded 80 million.”
The old man didn't understand games, but he understood business. Looking at the team uniforms worn by Shen Xing and the others on the screen, he slowly asked, "Is that your company's name printed on their clothes?"
"Yes, it was my eldest daughter's idea."
The old man nodded in satisfaction: "That's a good idea. This is a national advertisement of the highest standard at the lowest cost. Nearly 100 million people watched and it spread online. Your daughter only used a few pieces of clothing to promote your company for tens of thousands of dollars."
The related trending topics about the cleaning team uniforms have spread across all platforms. This wave of advertising effect is both intense and efficient, which even Shen Jingjing herself did not expect.
"No wonder Yuanliang always praises your child for being smart; he is indeed a thoughtful person."
When Shen Jingjing heard the old man praise Aci, she felt both proud and warm.
———
This enthusiasm has also spread to my hometown.
Da Bao excitedly ran to the old lady, holding up his phone: "Grandma, isn't this my Xingxing brother? Isn't it?"
Because Shen Xing hadn't returned to his hometown for many years, his family couldn't remember what he looked like, except for his name.
The old lady squinted for a long time, then hesitated and said, "I don't recognize her..."
Shen Mingming happened to be home today. When she saw her son excitedly calling out "Brother Xingxing," she couldn't help but come over and ask, "What's wrong?"
"Dad, isn't that Xingxing? He's representing Longcheng University in the intercollegiate league, and they're all the hottest topics online right now!"
Shen Mingming took the phone and quickly recognized his nephew by comparing it to the photos his sister had posted on WeChat Moments. But his face darkened: "It's him. He got into Longda University but isn't studying properly; why is he playing games instead? What a waste of his time!"
"Dad, you're so out of touch! Do you even know what a college league is?" Da Bao retorted, unconvinced. "The universities that can participate in this competition are all top universities in the country; there's not a single one I can get into!"
"This is a legitimate esports competition. Esports is now part of the Olympics. Only you old fogies still think esports is just playing games!"
Shen Mingming glared angrily at her son: "You're so proud of yourself for failing the exam?"
Da Bao pouted, picked up his phone, and went back to his room to continue watching the live stream.

On the field, Shen Xing and his teammates were completely unaware of the online buzz surrounding them.
They took their seats in the red team's camp as instructed, and the match officially began.
Viewers across the internet are eagerly anticipating the performance of this "cleaning uniform" team, with many simply watching for the spectacle.
In most people's minds, how strong can a team with three female players be?
However--
Just one and a half minutes into the game, the first intense clash broke out in the bottom lane.
The support player from East China University of Political Science and Law attempted to take control of Bai Lianghe first, but Mu Jin anticipated this and interrupted him with a precise skill.
"Beautiful!" the female commentator couldn't help but exclaim. "Mujin's prediction was absolutely crucial!"
Bai Lianghe seized the opportunity, moving with the agility of a butterfly, constantly twisting and dodging the enemy marksman's firepower while simultaneously unleashing his own attacks.
The two worked together flawlessly.
Hibiscus's shield always falls at the most crucial moment; and her control skills seem to have eyes, sticking to the opponent's movement.
"This support... is pretty good!" The audience began to stir.
Less than three minutes later, another fight broke out in the bottom lane.
This time, Mu Jin seized the opportunity and decisively initiated a team fight with a flash, accurately hitting the opposing duo.
Bai Lianghe followed closely behind, maximizing his output.
"Double Kill!"
A system notification sounded inside the stadium.
The entire venue erupted in cheers!
"A three-woman lineup... is it really that strong?!"
"That marksman's positioning is ridiculous!"
"This support player is really strong, not just a pretty face!"
The perfect teamwork between the two drew cheers and screams from the audience, and the live stream chat was instantly flooded with "666".
The players from East China University of Political Science and Law finally tensed up. The captain immediately used the microphone to reassure the team: "Stay calm, don't fight them head-on in the early game. We have a late-game composition, we can turn the tide if we drag it out."
But how could Shen Xing and his group not see through the other party's intentions?
Shen Xing calmly directed: "Jingming, clear the wave and immediately move to the bottom lane. Our mid and jungle will coordinate to help the bottom lane expand their advantage. They want to play late game? Then we won't give them that chance."
Bai Lianghe laughed and replied, "If I get the kills early on, there's only one outcome for them—they'll be completely wiped out in fifteen minutes, and then their base crystal will explode."
