Chapter 17 The Unlucky Female Supporting Character in the Game 8
The finals were held in Luo Shu's city, so she didn't need to pack her luggage. After speaking with the organizers, she said she could stay at her own home without affecting the competition's progress. The organizers readily agreed, as it would save them money, so why not?
All three matches were best-of-three, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, Luo Shu and her team's final opponent would be the game team that the male and female protagonists belonged to.
After all, they are chosen by fate and will always be favored.
Luo Shu believed they should be able to advance to the final game.
Although Luo Shu didn't care about the male and female leads, they still developed feelings for each other like in the story. However, due to Luo Shu's sudden appearance, Du Jiayi did not become the top female game streamer on the platform as before.
Furthermore, Luo Shu has a deep hero pool and plays various high-difficulty heroes very well, which has led to a lack of harmony between the two's fans, who tend to dislike each other.
Moreover, Du Jiayi has delicate features and is good at gaming. She is a pretty young woman. Luo Shu never shows her face, leading to speculation that she might be ugly and embarrassed to show her face.
This has led to Du Jiayi's fans becoming increasingly arrogant, mocking Luo Shu's fans for supporting an ugly woman. Luo Shu's fans responded that they admire her skills and love her voice, and that no one is perfect, so they can't expect their favorite streamer to be flawless.
Therefore, Du Jiayi's fans praised their idol's looks, while Luo Shu's fans admired their skills, and the two sides became increasingly at odds.
Until this game cup, both sides' main players had to come to the venue to compete, many of Du Jiayi's fans made sarcastic remarks in Luo Shu's fan super topic, and the relationship between the two sides became increasingly tense.
The second day of the competition started at 3 pm. The night before the competition, Luo Shu went to bed early to get plenty of rest and prepare for tomorrow's final.
"I've arrived. Where are you all?"
Luo Shu is playing a match today, so Jin Yuxin is definitely coming, followed by the shameless Wei Xuanrun.
Ever since he had dinner with Luo Shu and the others last time, this kid has been sticking to them like a leech.
He would chat with Luo Shu on WeChat from time to time and occasionally invite them out for meals. The three of them ate together several times and gradually became familiar with each other. Luo Shu had a good impression of Wei Xuanrun and felt that the two of them could be considered ordinary friends.
When Wei Xuanrun learned that Luo Shu was going to compete, he insisted on coming along. He usually plays games, but mainly online games, and doesn't know much about Honor of Kings. Ever since he found out that Luo Shu was streaming Honor of Kings on D-site, he downloaded the game. Occasionally, he would ask Luo Shu to play games with him during her streams, just to make himself known.
Today, Luo Shu is participating in a competition, and he insisted on coming along to cheer her on, volunteering to be Luo Shu and Jin Yuxin's driver.
To make it easier for her to play the game today, Luo Shu wore a pink and gray color-blocked tracksuit. Her long hair was tied up high, and her small face was as white as jade with exquisite features, like a lotus flower under the moon, making people's hearts flutter.
"Luo Shu, you're here. Come straight to the dressing room. The production team said we're going on stage today and they insist that we guys have to get our makeup done."
Jiu Yue's voice over there carried a hint of sorrow, and one could imagine how unwilling they were to put on makeup.
Luo Shu laughed and said, "Okay, I'll come find you now. I have two friends with me too."
"Okay, come over here quickly."
After speaking, Luo Shu put on a hat and mask, showed her live streamer invitation card to the staff, and then the three of them followed them to the backstage dressing room.
Four boys were putting on makeup in the lounge. They were all young and energetic, with the unique vitality of boys. Their looks were not much different from when they were doing live broadcasts, except that their skin condition might be a little worse. After makeup, they were definitely four handsome young men.
"Jiuyue, have you seen Luo Shu's photo?"
The wanderer asked, somewhat curiously.
"I've never seen her before. Luo Shu has never shown her face in a video or live stream. I don't know what she looks like. No matter what she looks like, you all need to be polite to her. She's a girl. She's a technical streamer, she doesn't do those gimmicks."
Jiu Yue's voice was somewhat stern. He admired Luo Shu's gaming skills, and he also liked her poised and generous manner. He enjoyed playing games with her.
"Tsk, I heard Du Jiayi is here too, you know, that Jiayi girl. They should be our opponents in the finals."
"Just play well, the outcome is still uncertain."
Several people are putting on makeup, and they can't use their phones while looking up. They're exchanging opinions, making the break room quite lively.
Knock, knock, knock. The sound of knocking on the door must be Luo Shu arriving. The makeup artist got up to open the door. There were two women and one man at the door. One of them was wearing a hat and a mask, so his face could not be seen. The other two had handsome features and outstanding temperament, and were not to be underestimated.
"Hello, I'm Luo Shu, the host participating in this competition. Good afternoon, everyone. These are my two friends. I hope they're not bothering us?"
With their backs to Luo Shu, Jiu Yue and the others could only see their reflections in the makeup mirror in front of them. The one wearing a hat and mask was probably their teammate, while the other two were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, with outstanding looks and impeccable style.
"Okay, do I need to put on makeup too?"
Luo Shu took off her mask and hat as she spoke, but received no reply. The once lively lounge fell silent.
Jiu Yue and the others stared blankly at their reflections in the mirror, listening to their own hearts pounding like drums, their necks turning red with excitement.
Her eyes, as black as jade, were crystal clear. She had willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, red lips, and white teeth. Her fair skin looked as delicate as milk. Her lips, as vibrant as cherry blossoms, curved into a crescent shape. Her aura was cool and enigmatic. Truly, one glance could last a lifetime.
The room fell silent as everyone stared in awe at the stunning beauty before them. They had truly witnessed what it meant for the entire room to be filled with brilliance.
"Hello, do I also need to wear makeup?"
Seeing that no one answered her, Luo Shu asked the makeup artist next to her. The makeup artist's face turned bright red, and she stammered, "No, no need, you look great like this. I mean, you look especially beautiful."
The makeup artist sighed inwardly, "Oh dear, I'm so pathetic. I've been so rude in front of such a beautiful woman."
"Okay, thank you."
Luo Shu smiled happily, two dimples appearing at the corners of her lips. Jiu Yue and the others were so drunk that they lost track of time.
The four boys stood there dumbfounded as the makeup artist worked on them, still reeling from the surprise that their game partner was a stunning beauty.
They had guessed that Luo Shu wasn't particularly good-looking, at most just pretty, but they never expected such a surprising reversal.
This isn't just not beautiful, it's absolutely stunning! If Luo Shu were to show her face during a live stream, she would probably become the number one in terms of traffic on the platform, by a huge margin.
Oh my god, I'm so happy! Playing games with such a beautiful woman, hehehe, so joyful and awesome!
Several boys were secretly chuckling to themselves, but Luo Shu didn't notice. At that moment, a match was taking place outside the arena, which happened to be the semi-final of the team that the male and female protagonists were on.
Qin Zeyang's skills are indeed quite good, but he's too fond of his girlfriend, Du Jiayi. Du Jiayi plays mid-lane, and he often camps there to gank for the mage. This means their bottom lane marksman and top laner are frequently ganked by the enemy jungler. Fortunately, their top laner plays well and is very cautious, avoiding feeding kills. Their marksman's skills are average, and the enemy jungler and support both got killed.
However, Qin Zeyang also helped establish a significant advantage in the middle lane, and the two sides were locked in a fierce battle.
"Luo, Luo Shu, what are you looking at?"
Jiu Yue didn't dare to look in that direction and asked Luo Shu a question hesitantly.
"Watch the game. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Judging from their performance, the team we will play against next is 'Steal Blue to Raise You'."
The team "Steal Blue to Raise You" is the team name of Qin Zeyang and Du Jiayi, while Luo Shu's team is called "Take in Heartbroken Wild King" team. The two teams have different styles.
"Oh, I see. Well then, Luo Shu, are you hungry?"
This time, it was the homeless man who spoke. He had slightly dark skin, a buzz cut, and a somewhat wicked smile. His fans jokingly called him a little wolf.
At this moment, the little wolfhound was as shy as a puppy. His slightly dark skin couldn't hide the blush on his face, and he grinned foolishly, looking extremely innocent.
Luo Shu asked in confusion, "I'm not hungry anymore, let's watch the game together."
They've already discussed tactics and heroes, so there's no point in cramming now; they might as well observe the matches in both groups and see if they can find a breakthrough.
It will be quite difficult for them to beat the "Steal Blue to Raise You" team.
The four boys were very obedient and watched the game with Luo Shu. They would steal glances at Luo Shu from time to time, then their ears would turn red and they would absentmindedly turn back to continue watching the game.
As Luo Shu predicted, it was indeed the case. Qin Zeyang's team won the competition, which meant that Luo Shu's team's final opponent might be "Stealing Blue to Raise You".
"Alright, it's our turn to go on stage, good luck!"
As soon as Luo Shu finished speaking, she picked up her hat and mask and put them on.
"Luo Shu, are you going to compete wearing a hat and a mask? Won't that be a bit stuffy?"
Luo Shu said shyly, "I'm a bit socially anxious. With so many people below, I'm worried I won't perform well."
"It's alright, you can bring it if you want. Luo Shu, you follow us out later, we'll block your way."
"Yes, yes, don't be afraid, you can sit at the very back later."
"Yes, don't be afraid."
Luo Shu felt a warm glow in her heart; her teammates were really great, very kind people.
The five people appeared on stage, and many fans below the stage watched intently as their favorite streamers walked out from backstage. Upon seeing Luo Shu, whose attire was quite unique, they began to whisper among themselves.
At this moment, they were increasingly convinced that Luo Shu must be unattractive to be so secretive about herself.
Backstage, Du Jiayi looked at Luo Shu, who was bundled up tightly, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Her fans and Luo Shu's fans don't get along, and she doesn't really like this dark horse streamer who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She originally had the potential to become the number one streamer in Glory, but Luo Shu carved out a bloody path with her skills, causing her to lean towards the image of a pretty face, which made her very unhappy.
But now, seeing the players on the field makes her feel better.
Du Jiayi's exquisite makeup accentuated her small face, making her even more beautiful, rivaling some online celebrities. She thought to herself, "So what if I'm good at games? If I'm ugly, I still won't dare show my face."
In this game, Luo Shu played jungle, and she picked the familiar Jing. Perhaps the opposing team underestimated her, as they didn't ban her Jing. As expected, Luo Shu led her team to a swift and decisive victory.
Uncle Luo's team secured their spot in the finals with a 3-0 victory, which began at 7 PM. They were given two hours to rest, as the team was quite tired from the match. Jin Yuxin and Wei Xuanrun took them out for a good meal, and they rested in the lounge for a while before the finals began.
The two sides were evenly matched, each winning two games. The score was 2-2, leading to a best-of-five series, a clash of titans.
Luo Shu chose her best hero, Gongsun Li, while the opposing marksman was Di Renjie, who was somewhat of a counter to Gongsun Li.
At this point, it's all about technique and skill.
Our heroes: Gongsun Li, Da Qiao, Yao, Li Xin, Xi Shi
Enemy heroes: Di Renjie, Li Bai, Xiao Qiao, Taiyi Zhenren, Hua Mulan
The match officially began, and Di Renjie pushed the lane aggressively. Gongsun Li was indeed at a disadvantage against Di Renjie, but it also depended on individual skill.
Luo Shu deliberately created an opening for Di Renjie, allowing the enemy marksman to pressure her. After clearing the minion wave, Luo Shu had only one bar of health left, while Di Renjie was at half health. Instead of retreating, Di Renjie continued to push the tower. The minimap showed that the jungler and the others were in the mid lane and couldn't come over for the time being. This showed his courage in daring to pressure Di Renjie.
Luo Shu avoided the enemy's line of sight and entered the bushes, marking Di Renjie three times before activating Berserk. With a sliver of health left, he turned the tables and secured First Blood. The enemy mage and Da Qiao arrived at Luo Shu's bottom lane at the same time, but he had already safely retreated. After using a health pack under the tower, he still had half his health left. Instead of rushing back to base, he went to fight the river crab.
After eating the river crab, he used his second skill and Da Qiao's second skill to teleport home and immediately return to the battlefield.
The fight was back and forth, and Uncle Luo's Gongsun Li was truly amazing, with extremely agile movements that made it impossible for anyone to catch her.
Du Jiayi's Xiao Qiao was once again killed by Luo Shu with a sliver of health remaining.
"Jiayi, don't chase after Gongsun Li anymore. Wait until you leave Huiyue before you fight him. Going there like this will only be sending him to his death."
Qin Zeyang's voice was calm. He was playing Li Bai, and his Li Bai was ranked number one in the national server. Offline, their economy was roughly equal to the opponent's. They had destroyed one less tower than the opponent and needed to develop slowly.
"Once Di Renjie gets up, it will be easier for us to fight."
Qin Zeyang didn't say much, but he still habitually went to help the mid lane. The enemy Xi Shi was a utility hero, and even if the mage was killed by Li Bai, it wouldn't affect their team's economy, which led to Qin Zeyang's team gradually falling behind.
In a team fight, Gongsun Li used her ultimate to push Di Renjie into their encirclement, then killed Di Renjie and used her umbrella to take down Xiao Qiao after losing half her health.
Then, Li Bai forced her to use her resurrection armor, which she then destroyed. With a sliver of health, she took down Li Bai, used her invulnerability skill to avoid Hua Mulan's damage, and coordinated with her teammates to kill Hua Mulan, securing the victory.
Luo Shu and her team won the competition.
The fans at the scene erupted in huge cheers as they went to receive the trophy and shake hands with the person opposite them.
Luo Shu slowly removed her hat and mask. The match was over, and she would be shaking hands with her opponent later. Not removing her hat and mask was a sign of respect.
The clamor gradually subsided, and everyone looked in that direction, at the place where Luo Shu was. Bright lights shone on her, and her beauty was even brighter than incandescent light, dazzling everyone present.
A beauty that lasts a thousand years may never be more stunning, but a lovely woman is always pleasing to the eye.
