At 9:00 AM, the first All-Star Tournament of "Thousand Demons" began. Feng Tang adopted a live broadcast format for this tournament, allowing most players who could not attend in person to still experience the passion brought by the game.
Of course, it also satisfied the players' curiosity about the contestants.
Among them, Qin You is arguably the most watched contestant.
To put it bluntly, before seeing the faces, most people will focus on the game itself. But when it comes to real-life offline competitions, the focus naturally shifts to the players themselves, which is only natural.
Moreover, Qin You's appearance is not the kind of quality they usually see on the street. In addition, he is a contestant. Just by putting him in that position, he's definitely the new male god!
For a time, he even stole the limelight from Xu Qian himself, which shows how enthusiastic everyone was about him.
Xu Qian found it interesting, so he took out his phone, recorded a short video of the scene, and posted it on his Weibo account, keeping up with the trending topic.
Xu Qian V:
[Video] It's lively!
[←_← I think I vaguely saw my cousin...]
[You read that right! My cousin is definitely a gaming god!]
[A gaming god or something—I'm in!]
[The Xu family has such excellent genes! Um! Does my little cousin have a girlfriend yet?]
[Ahhh! Yeah! Does my cousin have a girlfriend yet?! Old Xu, we're out of the running, but my cousin seems pretty good!]
[Little brother Qin, your sister is waiting for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau~]
[←_← She's only eighteen, she can't get a marriage certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau...]
[What's wrong with you guys? Have you thought that far ahead already?]
[To be honest, I've already decided on a name for my cousin's child!]
[Hmph, I think you all just want to eat peaches!]
Xu Qian looked at the comments below and was both amused and exasperated. This generation of netizens is truly amazing; their ability to make up stories is off the charts.
After a brief interruption, the game competition officially began.
The first match was between [Xipifen] and [Wanghaichao].
Qin You's group, [213], was in the third round, and it was almost noon.
Among them, the ADC player of [Wang Haichao] is a well-known game streamer named Nan Zhou, who was originally a veteran player of Fengtang Games.
Aside from Qin You, who was a dark horse, he was the second most popular player in this competition.
Nan Zhou's popularity stems from his excellent skills and his witty banter. Simply put, he's a skilled player with an interesting personality. Although he was initially overshadowed by a dark horse, his popularity gradually returned after the official matches began.
At the same time, Feng Tang's popularity on various live streaming platforms has once again reached the homepage, and basically any viewer who clicks in to watch the live stream during this time period can see the competition.
Yu Ziwen (a veteran player of Qianyaolu) led her entire group of sisters to the live stream. They all came specifically because they heard that Xu Qian was attending as a guest.
Of course, Feng Tang also made good use of the guests' perspectives, creating two guest viewpoints in the upper left and upper right corners of the live stream, with the game competition screen in the center. Below the competition screen were four windows that would randomly rotate to the players' faces.
This made the game fans happy, the guest fans happy, and those who were both game fans and guest fans even happier.
In the first game, Wang Haichao won two out of three games, successfully advancing to the quarterfinals.
There was a ten-minute break before the second game started. During this time, Xu Qian occasionally heard someone calling his name from behind.
"Old Xu—"
He subconsciously looked up and followed the sound to the source. He saw a girl holding a banner in the audience behind him. The banner naturally read his name. She was wearing a mask and a mint-colored dress.
When the girl saw Xu Qian turn his gaze away, she excitedly pulled her friend beside her, seemingly saying something. After she finished speaking, she waved to Xu Qian again.
Xu Qian smiled at her good-naturedly.
This laugh seemed to excite the other person even more, who shouted "Old Xu" several times in a row, attracting the attention of many people around.
Tang Chen nudged Qin You's arm. "The internet says Xu Qian is your cousin?"
Qin You glanced at him, wondering why he would bring this up, but nodded nonetheless.
"Oh my," Tang Chen shifted his gaze between the two, "that's the vibe, they really are family."
Qin You raised an eyebrow. To be honest, he had probably heard this a hundred or eighty times. Almost everyone who knew about their 'relationship' would repeat the same thing.
Soon, the second match began, and the two stopped chatting (mainly Tang Chen) and focused on the game itself.
On average, each match lasts about an hour. There are a total of sixteen teams participating in the competition today, with eight matches in total, four in the morning and four in the afternoon.
At 11:30, the third match featuring Qin You was announced to have begun.
At that moment, his image reappeared in the players' view in the live stream.
[Holy crap! What an amazing perspective!]
[Director, could you please get a little closer?]
[Come see the baby!]
Every time I see a scene like this, I want to say, "Old Xu, are you still looking for a sister-in-law?"
[There are just so many more rivals for my affections lately...]
[You bunch of fickle women! What happened to your promise of true love for Lao Xu?! This is outrageous! (Lao Xu, look at me! I'm truly devoted to you!)]
[I'm different, I still crave Lao Xu~]
My cousin is so tall! Compared to other people, he looks like an adult next to a child.
[As someone who goes to the same school as my cousin, this guy was the most handsome guy in our freshman year, though he was a bit aloof.]
[The aloof and cold guy is irresistible!]
[So what if she's aloof? She's just a slow starter! /eye roll]
[Anyway, it looks really cold.]
Those who say he's aloof have probably never seen my cousin smile; he's so warm and amiable!
[You're talking nonsense without a picture]
[The most popular post on the official Weibo account of Weicheng University features my cousin!]
Just as everyone was rushing to Weibo, the host in the live broadcast room suddenly became excited.
"Beautiful! That was absolutely stunning!"
The crowd stopped what they were doing and watched the replay. They discovered that just moments before, Qin You's red team jungler had sneaked over while the enemy top laner and jungler were fighting the dragon. The moment the dragon knocked the two of them into the air, he used Smite to steal the dragon and also took down the enemy jungler. Although he was quickly sent back to the respawn point by the enemy top laner, it was still a worthwhile trade of one for one and a dragon.
"Okay, we see that 213's jungler has gone back to his own jungle to farm..."
Just as Qin You was developing his strength, Lu Wei and Fei Fei in the mid lane launched an attack on the enemy mid laner and successfully took down the enemy's kill.
Qin You's jungling rhythm is very stable; every skill seems to have its cooldown precisely calculated, and not a single second is wasted. His favorite target is the enemy bot lane, especially squishy ADCs, who he takes down one by one.
This made Tang Chen, a professional marksman, feel a little 'frightened'. No matter what kind of marksman, what they hate most is the enemy jungler, who never knows when they will appear or when they will die.
In the first game, Qin You led the team to a point.
After a five-minute break, the second game started immediately. This time, the opposing marksman was accompanied by a support, a tanky support at that. It seems they were still traumatized by the previous game.
Qin You didn't think much of it. Since the marksman had someone protecting him, he could just go and gank the mid laner. The principle was the same.
So, this time it's probably the opposing mid laner's turn to roll their eyes.
"Feifei, come with me first," Qin You said.
"Sigh, you should go with Ye Wang." Tang Chen looked sad, but he also understood that this was the best choice.
"Great!"
The support player was very happy, finally able to cause trouble with the jungler. Their bottom lane only needed to play defensively and farm in the early game, and he would protect the marksman in the late game.
"Then I'll talk to you about it later~" Fatty said happily.
Qin You, along with his support and mid-laner, ganked the enemy mid-laner twice. That mid-laner simply stopped leaving the base and stayed under the tower to clear the minion wave, occasionally going to their bottom lane to provide support.
Qin You activated his stealth ability, called out to Fei Fei, and the two quietly went to the enemy's jungle. The enemy mid laner dared not go through the river, so he would have to go through the jungle to provide support.
"Kill Little Walnut!"
"Kill Little Walnut!"
"Kill Little Walnut!"
[Small walnut (clavicle bone): ...]
"Hahaha, I dare say that little walnut will definitely come looking for you after this match!" Fatty laughed wildly.
"Go check out the vision around Baron." Qin You took it as a joke. It's a game, after all, you just grab whichever is easier to gank, he's not stupid.
“I’ll go check… No fight. Want to fight?” Fatty said.
"Wait for me, I'll give you a red card." Qin You nodded.
"Brother Tang, come help fight the dragon!" Fatty said to Tang Chen again.
"I'll be there as soon as I've finished clearing the lines."
The three of them worked together to take down the dragon, and by then the second game had entered the mid-to-late stage, with all three lanes' first towers destroyed.
"Feifei, you stay with the marksman. I'll go push the lane. You guys get ready to team fight in the mid lane." Qin You said, then went to the enemy's jungle, acting as if it were his own.
"Okay, fine." Fatty was a little disappointed.
"...???" Tang Chen felt that this was a bit too much. I'm an ADC, after all. In the late game, you still have to rely on me to deal damage!
A dozen minutes later, 213 won again and advanced directly to the quarterfinals.
Based on these three matches so far, they are the team with the fastest progress, winning two matches in a row and advancing directly.
Qin You stood up, picked up the bottled water on the table, and was about to unscrew the cap and take a sip when there was a knock on the door of their operations room.
"Excuse me for bothering you, but who is the jungler for Team 213?" A girl wearing a black and red tracksuit stood outside, with a neat ponytail and a very pretty face.
Tang Chen clicked his tongue, tiptoed, and patted Qin You on the shoulder, "This is our 213's top jungler."
Qin You: "...?"
