Chapter 35: Being the Top Card



After Jiang Zhi posted on Weibo, she sent a message to the Kuhu live streaming platform. The meaning was simple: she would never live stream again, and all the unpaid wages after deducting the termination fee would be donated.

After sending the message, she turned off her phone and threw it on the sofa beside her. She stared at the black phone for a while before walking to Meng Qian's bed again.

And the world outside was in an uproar!

Jiang Zhi's haters and fans were in chaos, and they even started to fight each other on the Internet.

At first, netizens thought it was a joke, but as time went by without any news, the official Weibo account of the Kuhu live streaming platform posted a confirmation on Weibo, and then they believed it - Ye Zhan Da Jiu really retired from the live streaming industry.

In the ITG e-sports club, He Xiaoxi, who was playing with his mobile phone, jumped up from his bed in the dormitory as soon as he saw the news, and ran to the hall with his mobile phone in his hands.

"Absolutely, absolutely, big news!"

In the hall, except for Shen Weiqi who had taken a leave, everyone else in ITG was discussing the new heroes of the version.

Xing Changan saw He Xiaoxi rushing over, and a frown formed on his serious face. "We'll talk about the news later. We're discussing something."

"No, no, no, I just have one thing to say," He Xiaoxi said, "I'm done with global dominance and I'm quitting live streaming."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room was silent for a few seconds.

Squid was the first to react: "Fuck, isn't it said that evil lasts for a thousand years? How could she be gone so quickly?"

Han Bing: "Manager, you must have seen it wrong. That troll, during the day, I saw her commenting against haters, and she even said shamelessly that being black and red is also red."

"I'm not mistaken. It was posted by the Kuhu live streaming platform itself."

Squid: "Damn, is that troll so depressed by the haters?"

He Xiaoxi: "Get lost! Do you think you are that troll? You have such a weak mental endurance."

"Then why do you think that troll quit the live broadcast?"

No one can answer the squid's question.

At the beginning, when I dominated the world and just started live streaming on the Kuhu live streaming platform, I was not very famous, but I was already very good at talking.

Every time the game is reviewed, the professional players from each team are criticized to the point that they doubt their lives, but they are unable to refute it.

So, just three months after she became an anchor, she experienced a massive online bullying.

It was on the hot search for a whole day and night, and all kinds of insults filled the entire entry.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to accept it, but the trolls who dominate the world have good mental qualities.

While being put on the hot search and being scolded, he opened the live broadcast room to play games, and continued to criticize everything without restraint.

The angry haters wanted to strangle her to death along the Internet cable.

This person said that one day she was criticized by netizens so much that she had to quit the Internet, but He Xiaoxi just didn't believe it.

Meng Qian's condition was not serious. She woke up after sleeping for a day.

When she opened her eyes, the first person she saw was Jiang Zhi. She did not blame her, but whispered that she wanted to be discharged from the hospital, and then she did not mention Jiang Zhi's previous game again.

Seeing that Meng Qian was fine, the doctor did not insist on her hospitalization, but only reminded her that she needed to eat something to supplement her nutrition due to hypoglycemia.

Jiang Zhi agreed.

During the days of taking care of Meng Qian, Jiang Zhi was very well-behaved. After taking a leave of absence from school, she stayed at home to take care of Meng Qian.

Online, the news that Ye would dominate the world and no longer be a live streamer overshadowed Jiang Ming’s retirement, and it was on the hot search list for five consecutive days.

During these five days, Jiang Zhi never turned on her cell phone, and no one could contact her except Jiang Sui and Jiang Zhicheng.

Even Zhou Suihe only came to the Jiang family to see Jiang Zhi when he had no classes on the weekend.

She bought some fruits and put them on the table in the living room. After saying hello to Meng Qian, she went upstairs to Jiang Zhi's bedroom.

When Zhou Suihe knocked on the door and went in, Jiang Zhi was tuning the strings of the guqin.

Jiang Zhi raised her brown eyes and glanced at Zhou Suihe. Without any surprise, she lowered her head again to tune her guqin: "Suihe, you're here. The association will have a cultural evening in a few days. Do you think it would be embarrassing for me to play the guqin?"

Jiang Zhi's voice was brisk and the tone was no different from usual.

Zhou Suihe was startled, and quickly closed the door, then walked over to Jiang Zhi. "Oh my god, Zhizhi, you don't have a fever, do you? You used to hate performing on stage, so why are you going this time? And playing this thing, too? It's not like you."

"That's all because of Yue Zhengyu!" Jiang Zhi complained angrily.

A few days ago, Le Zhengyu called Jiang Sui and said that the community union was having a party and he wanted Jiang Zhi, one of the student union members, to hurry back to school to help him choose the program. However, Meng Qian heard it.

She asked Jiang Zhi, who was peeling an orange for her, indifferently, "Zhizhi, you still remember your guqin, right?"

Meng Qian just asked a simple question. Jiang Zhi, who was peeling an orange, felt a chill in his heart and responded.

Jiang Sui immediately understood what his mother meant and agreed on Jiang Zhi's behalf over the phone on the spot.

"You can't blame the president. He doesn't know that you don't like playing the guqin." Zhou Suihe said.

Jiang Zhi sighed and leaned back in his chair.

She originally thought that quitting gaming was the most extreme thing she could ever do. She hadn't expected it to be even more extreme, not only could she not pursue her favorite hobbies, but she was also forced to persist in hobbies she didn't like.

She felt completely useless.

"It's okay, the party is still a long time away, there's no rush. I came here today just to ask you a question." Zhou Suihe said.

Jiang Zhi asked weakly, "What's the problem?"

Zhou Suihe hesitated for a moment and asked, "You said goodbye on Weibo, are you really not going to play games anymore?"

Jiang Zhi answered without hesitation: "No more playing, never again."

Zhou Suihe was about to ask why, but then he thought about it and decided not to ask.

Most likely, Meng Qian didn't allow her to play, so she asked out of curiosity, which was like stabbing Jiang Zhi in the heart.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and she immediately changed the subject: "Zhizhi, let me tell you, do you know how much money is made in the e-sports circle now?"

"How much money do you make?" Jiang Zhi asked casually.

“I can afford a villa with a famous view.”

Jiang Zhi was stunned for a second.

She still knew about Mingjing Villa.

Just as its name suggests, it is located in the most scenic residential area in Z City, facing the sea in front and surrounded by mountains in the back. Although it is in the suburbs, it has complete facilities and the best schools and hospitals in Z City are all inside.

From the moment they moved in, they no longer had to worry about their children's schooling.

Because all the property management of the villa has been handled for them, and there is even a service to send elementary school students home.

It is simply a paradise for the rich.

Jiang Zhicheng once wanted to buy a house in Mingjing Villa, but unfortunately, he was scared off by the high housing prices.

They could only buy a villa in a slightly inferior place, which is the one they live in now.

Jiang Zhi was a little unconvinced and asked, "No way, who is it?"

"Shen Weiqi."

Hearing these three familiar words again, Jiang Zhi felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

He said calmly, "That's not surprising. He's famous."

Fame is everything. According to Shen Weiqi's commercial value, if he receives more advertisements, he can still afford the down payment for a toilet in Mingjing Villa.

"Aren't you angry? Why is there such a huge gap between people? We're both talented players, but how come Shen Weiqi can earn enough for the down payment on a villa in a prestigious area just by playing games, while you can't even play games!" Zhou Suihe became more and more excited as she spoke, completely forgetting her original intention in bringing up this topic. "If your mother had let you become a professional player, you would definitely become the strongest AD carry in the LPL. Bill, Mu Chongyang, any top AD carry, how could they be your opponent? Once you go up there, crack, crack, crack, crack, you'll just tear their heads off..."

Zhou Suihe's words seemed casual, but in fact, every word pierced Jiang Zhi's heart.

If I could become a professional player, if I could become the strongest AD carry in the LPL, if I could meet Bill and Mu Chongyang...

All of this is based on one premise, that is, she can continue to play the game.

It’s a pity that all of these were blocked by Meng Qian.

Jiang Zhi didn't take Zhou Suihe's words to heart. She had already accepted the fact that she couldn't play games during these few days of calm.

She waited for Zhou Suihe to stop before asking, "Are you done?"

Zhou Suihe didn't realize what he had said yet, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it."

Jiang Zhi: "So you came to my house today because you think I've had it too easy these past few days?"

"Huh?" Zhou Suihe was stunned and said defensively, "What nonsense are you talking about? I came here specifically to comfort you."

Jiang Zhi: "Is there anyone as comforting as you? I think you came here today just to hurt me."

After Jiang Zhi's reminder, Zhou Suihe remembered that she mentioned the matter of "Mingjing Villa" in order to change the subject and let Jiang Zhi not think about the fact that she could not play games.

In the end, she only talked for a few words before she went back to the topic.

It's really heartbreaking.

Zhou Suihe laughed awkwardly twice: "You don't feel bad, do you?"

"Fortunately, I can tolerate your pain. It's about the same as a massage."

Hearing this, Zhou Suihe breathed a sigh of relief and said half-jokingly: "Then shouldn't you thank me?"

Jiang Zhi was not polite: "Thank you in my last life, the life before that, and the life before that."

Zhou Suihe: "You're welcome."

Jiang Zhi: "..."

Jiang Zhi and Zhou Suihe quarreled for a while before Zhou Suihe couldn't help but say, "Aren't you curious if Chen Weiqi really wants to buy a house in Mingjing Villa?"

Jiang Zhi had originally planned to ask Jiang Sui again after Zhou Suihe left, but since Zhou Suihe had asked, Jiang Zhi had saved herself a lot of trouble: "I'm more curious about how you knew."

"It's spread online, Weibo has been going crazy. They say that the annual salary of professional players can't even afford the toilet in a famous villa. Shen Weiqi can buy a house there. Either his family has a mine, or it's in..." The next sentence seemed a little difficult to say. Zhou Suihe hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything.

Jiang Zhi asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It's just being the top card."

Jiang Zhi: "..."
