25. Lin Jiang's live stream
OT won the match and temporarily took the lead with a score of 3-0.
The match generated a lot of trending topics, and Lin Jiang and Shen Ju became popular again.
In a corner unknown to anyone, Song Zhixu also briefly made it onto the trending topics list because of the time difference between his and Lin Jiang's almost simultaneous landings during their TP (Teleport) match, which earned him a lot of recognition.
His fans flocked to the comments section to leave messages—
[I've been a fan of yours for so long, you idiot, and this is the first time I've seen you play so well.]
[I don't know why, but for a moment I suddenly thought you were incredibly handsome.]
[You and Lin Jiang don't look out of place standing together.]
[You really are the fattest!]
[Song Zhixu, you need to work harder to catch up with your teammates!]
After finishing the match, Song Zhixu scrolled through the comments section, his finger landing on the third comment, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It turns out that as long as you work hard enough, you will definitely be able to reach the people you want to get close to.
After OT finished playing, it temporarily ranked first and remained popular, which made KUG fans very angry.
But it's okay, once KUG wins the next match, its ranking will immediately surpass OT's!
After an exciting wait, Alike's performance was subpar, and he lost the first game.
Although they managed to catch up in the next two games, KUG lost a game, so their ranking will be below OT.
The fan burst into tears.
Team rankings are based on the total score; in case of a tie in the total score, teams are ranked by the number of wins.
KUG had two 2-0 victories and OT had two 2-0 victories, so their overall score and number of wins were the same. However, according to the "comeback" rule, OT, which played later, was ranked higher than KUG.
This sparked strong dissatisfaction among KUG fans at the time, who felt that the official arrangement was unfair.
After a long wait, OT finally got to play first, but KUG, who played later, didn't perform well and lost by a small margin. This time, OT completely dominated them.
And so the online atmosphere turned into this—
[KUG fan: The rankings are temporary, surely no one's actually having an orgasm?]
[OT fan: My ranking is higher than yours.]
[KUG fan: What's there to be so smug about? Winning against three weak teams is pretty normal, isn't it? You should be more worried about your later matches.]
[OT fan: My ranking is higher than yours.]
[KUG fan: Alike played way better than Lim Kang-soo!]
[Lin Jiang fan: My team's win rate is also higher than yours.]
KUG fans were driven to despair: They couldn't beat them, they simply couldn't...
They will stay offline for the next two days and wait until KUG regains its dignity before they go back to the front lines.
Lin Jiang hadn't been paying much attention to the internet lately, so when Song Zhixu showed him the online comments, his first reaction was, "Are they insulting me?"
Song Zhixu's eyes widened. "How could they possibly scold you? You played so well, they'd definitely only praise you. Right now, everyone online is criticizing KUG; they've been getting a lot of flak this season."
Lin Jiang remembered that in his previous life, KUG didn't get scolded; on the contrary, he, who was a substitute, got scolded in the last game.
Eventually, he was so criticized that he dared not go online. At the suggestion of the management, he gave up his starting position to Alike, and the criticism gradually subsided.
Lin Jiang curiously scrolled through the comments section, and it was indeed quite different from what he had imagined.
In his previous life, he changed his playstyle for his teammates, turning himself into a generic, unremarkable mid-laner.
In this life, I also had to step up and carry for my teammates.
Unexpectedly, this led to a completely different outcome.
Lin Jiang scrolled through the comments section, carefully reading each one.
It turns out that it's not just Alike's amazing playstyle that gets followed by everyone; many people also appreciate his playstyle that prioritizes the overall situation.
They followed him, they hoped he would bring about a perfect ending.
[Ahhh, Jiang Jiang truly is an all-rounder!]
There's no hero he can't play.
[With such a deep hero pool, training must be very tough, right?]
[It's all for my teammates, for winning.]
[I won't argue online; I'll just stick to my River and wait for the day it's recognized by everyone!]
[I really want to see Lin Jiang do a live stream, sob sob...]
Lin Jiang couldn't help but laugh. He handed the phone back to Song Zhixu and, seeing that he was still staring at him blankly, tapped his forehead. "Spend less time online and more time improving yourself."
Song Zhixu's heart melted when he was tapped.
So incredibly gentle!
How can you be so gentle when you're disciplining someone!
Lin Jiang trained for a while in the evening, his mind filled with the comments online. He checked the time; it was already 11 p.m. He figured there probably weren't many fans online at this hour.
He opened the live stream page, typed on the keyboard, and logged into his account, which he hadn't used in almost a month.
He hasn't logged in since he was reborn. The account manager contacted him several times, but he made excuses to avoid it.
Lin Jiang thought he had concealed it well, but after seeing the comments today, he realized that he had been avoiding online public opinion all along.
To sever ties with the past, the first thing to do is to cut off the inner demons.
Lin Jiang entered the live streaming interface, clicked to start the live stream, and within just a few minutes, a large number of viewers flooded into the live stream room.
[!!! Look what I just saw!]
[I'm so upset, I can still watch River's live stream in the middle of the night.]
[Lin Jiang, ahhhhhh, you're finally back!]
[Finally, I've waited for you. I'm so glad I didn't give up.]
[Jiang, how can I live without you!]
[Lin Jiang, you scared me to death! There was absolutely no news about you during the time you terminated your contract with KUG. I was worried you were going to do something drastic and jump into the lake.]
Lin Jiang laughed as he watched the comments. He hadn't set up his camera yet, so he only had audio.
His laughter had a strangely soothing quality to it, making people feel a sweet, tingling sensation in their hearts.
[Oh my god, Mom! Guess what I just heard!]
[My sister can't hear this, she'll probably go crazy and start banging on your door.]
[Who understands? I, a grown man, almost laughed myself silly.]
[I'm willing to be a bottom for Ajiang.]
[？？？]
[Damn, bro, you're ruthless!]
After fiddling with the camera for a while, Lin Jiang's face was finally revealed.
He's not very good at these things, and his perspective is a bit odd.
Even with a high-definition camera, you could see every pore on his face clearly. Despite being filmed from all sorts of unflattering angles, his handsome face didn't look bad at all.
[Jiang truly deserves to be called the face of the LPL.]
Something dripped from the corner of my mouth...
[Can't I really be that camera?]
[I really want to lick the camera lens.]
[？]
[You're a pervert.]
[Brothers, wake up! We're here to see the skills!]
[Can we please stop making outsiders think we're all weirdos?]
Lin Jiang is known in the industry for his good temper. He never takes harmless jokes to heart, and over time his fans have become very open about what they say.
Someone previously edited a video specifically about Lin Jiang's emotional stability and his crazy fans.
Fans go crazy in the live chat every day, while Lin Jiang remains calm and tolerant of their every strange question.
Many fans outside the fandom exclaimed: "We're shipping them!"
Even fans of the opposing side are "shocking" and want to switch sides to experience the crazy thrill of becoming a fan of Lin Jiang.
During the time Lin Jiang logged into his account, the live chat had already asked him many questions.
Lin Jiang adheres to the principle of answering every question, and he will generally reply as soon as he sees it.
Fan: [Where did you go during those ten days you disappeared?]
Lin Jiang took a sip of coffee. "I didn't disappear, I just stopped going online. I was looking for teams everywhere and didn't know how to explain it to you guys."
Fan: [Why did you choose OT?]
Lin Jiang answered seriously, "Because I don't have any other teams to join."
Fan: [Is your new team treating you well? Do your teammates bully you?]
Lin Jiang smiled, "They treat me very well, you don't need to worry about me, I'm very happy here."
Fan: [I heard Chenju severely damaged two mid laners, sob sob, he didn't do anything to you, did he?]
Lin Jiang smiled when he saw the comment. He put down his cup and said, "Thank you for your concern. I'm really fine, and Shen Ju is very well-behaved."
The live stream screen was instantly filled with question marks. They could understand the previous questions, but what did "Chen Ju is very well-behaved" mean?
The fans screamed—
[Lin Jiang, don't be fooled by him!]
[It's an act! Absolutely an act!]
[You're so naive! You'll get killed.]
He has antisocial personality disorder!
[Remember when he was suspended for assault!]
Lin Jiang saw the comments and wanted to explain for Shen Ju, but before he could speak, the comments suddenly changed to—
[Chen Ju hahaha... That's great.]
[Yeah, he's handsome and plays well too.]
[Just by looking at her face, she seems like a kind-hearted little angel QAQ.]
[Jiang Jiang, try to get along with him.]
[Hahahahaha...]
Lin Jiang was puzzled when a shadow suddenly loomed over him.
—It is a sunken horse.
He stared at Lin Jiang's comments, "Am I seeing things? Why does it feel like all your comments are cursing me?"
Lin Jiang couldn't help but laugh as he watched the comments on the screen change their tune. He picked up his coffee and said, "No, everyone's praising you."
He took a sip and squinted his eyes contentedly.
Shen Ju behind him suddenly sniffed and moved closer to him.
Bullet comments—
[Aaaaaah! Lin Jiang, watch out for a sneak attack!]
[I take full responsibility for my previous remarks; they have absolutely nothing to do with Lin Jiang!]
[Don't touch me, Ah Jiang! You scoundrel, I'm not finished with you!]
[Lin Jiang, run!!]
Just when everyone thought Shen Ju was about to make a move.
He lowered his head and sniffed Lin Jiang's coffee, like a curious puppy, his profile delicate, his slightly curly hair giving him an obedient air.
"Vanilla flavor, smells so good."
Its eyes were fixed on Lin Jiang, like a puppy waiting for its owner to feed it, just short of wagging its tail.
"May I have a drink?"
Lin Jiang nodded, "Okay, I'll make you a cup."
He got up and left his seat, and Shen Ju took his place. Looking at the comments on the screen, a cold light flashed in his lowered eyes.
Then manipulate the mouse to ban all the accounts that had spoken ill of him for a month.
The chat exploded!
[Ugh! He was faking it all!]
[Jiang! Ahhhhh! I'm about to make a heroic sacrifice!]
[Lin Jiang, remember my last words: Never believe a single word Shen Gou says!]
[Lin Jiang, turn around and look at this mad dog!]
