When Wen Ran sent that sentence, not only was Yi Jian Shuang stunned, but the water friends (netizens) in the livestream room were also stunned.
There was even a second of eerie pause in the bullet comments.
Immediately after, they began to scroll densely again.
Mockery, defense, and onlookersâa massive crowd.
[Hahahahahaha is that how ‘Straw Boats Borrow Arrows’ is used?]
[This mouth must have been blessed by a monk.]
[I’m throwing up. What kind of person has such low class? Wicked and disgusting. I’m going to report him and let the system mute him!]
[Type 1 and Buddha will laugh with you.]
[11111]
[Didn’t expect watching a points match to be this interesting. Fight! Fight!]
Yi Jian Shuang’s face was twisted with anger. His hands rested on the keyboard, but he couldn’t type a single word.
He had truly lost all face today. Losing was one thing, but damn it, he couldn’t even win in a flame war!
Since he started streaming, he had always been surrounded by stars and praised by the moon. When had he ever suffered such grievance?
[Yi Jian Shuang]: If you have the skill, solo me with a Mage Assassin.
Mage Assassin was what Yi Jian Shuang was best at. People in the livestream room were cursing Yi Jian Shuang for being shameless, and his fans couldn’t even suppress it.
But Yi Jian Shuang turned a deaf ear and thick-facedly turned off the bullet comments.
Song Zixuan was also a bit anxious. He hadn’t dared to speak to Wen Ran earlier for fear of disturbing his match. Now he rushed towards Wen Ran’s room, shouting:
“Wen Ran, don’t agree to him! He’s a big streamer, famous for his Mage Assassin!”
Because he ran too fast, his foot slipped and he fell, grimacing in pain as he landed beside the chair.
Looking up, he saw Wen Ran’s computer screen.
My Mechanics Are Better Than Yours: Asking your Daddy to be a sparring partnerâare you worthy?
Fox was also launching little hearts, pushing down the opponent’s base.
Wen Ran exited the room and took off his headset. His long eyelashes fluttered like butterflies.
Song Zixuan climbed up himself and gave Wen Ran a thumbs up. “Wen Ran, you are truly awesome!”
“To be able to spray Yi Jian Shuang into speechlessness… if flamers had a National Leaderboard, if you claimed second, absolutely no one would dare claim first!”
Wen Ran: “…”
The competition was open from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
The duration of the competition was five days.
Many of Yi Jian Shuang’s fans sent friend requests in the game to curse him in the chat box. Wen Ran didn’t even look; he directly selected all and deleted.
The competition became fiercer later on. As points increased, the skill level of matched opponents also improved significantly. Song Zixuan hadn’t signed a contract with the platform yet, so there were no rigid requirements for broadcast start times or duration. Therefore, as soon as noon arrived, he would stream a few of Wen Ran’s matches via spectate mode.
But unexpectedly, due to the fame gained from the solo battle with Yi Jian Shuang, Wen Ran now had quite a bit of popularity. However, since he didn’t have any public social media accounts, many people went to squat in Song Zixuan’s stream.
A batch of fans who wanted to hear Wen Ran curse people also flooded in.
[It was so satisfying watching him destroy Yi Jian Shuang. If there’s really no one to curse, I can sacrifice myself for everyone.]
[Hahaha brother, you are truly perverted.]
Song Zixuan was greatly shocked reading the comments. In this day and age, there are people actively asking to be scolded?
[You don’t understand. Sometimes when you hear these words a lot, it feels quite refreshing.]
[Hope the streamer doesn’t fail to appreciate favors. Quickly call your friend out to curse a few sentences.]
[Am I the only one hoping Yi Jian Shuang matches him again?]
[Forget it. Yi Jian Shuang hasn’t even started streaming these past two days. He’s probably still somewhere having a breakdown!]
Wen Ran played for five days. Five days later, at settlement, he was listed on the roster as the number one on the Mid Lane Points Leaderboard without any suspense.
When the list came out, it was the morning of the next day. Song Zixuan was even happier than Wen Ran himself. “Awesome, awesome! Wen Ran, you are too amazing!”
“Let’s go. I’ll take you out for a big meal this noon!” Song Zixuan said. “We must celebrate properly!”
Wen Ran was just about to refuse: “I’ll just grab whatever…”
The doorbell rang.
“Wait,” Song Zixuan wondered. “Who is it? I didn’t order takeout.”
He went to open the door. “Just a moment!”
Song Zixuan pulled open the door, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. “Brother?”
Wen Ran was scrolling on his phone. Hearing that “Brother,” his finger paused. He quietly looked up at the door, only to collide with Jiang Yan’s gaze.
There was a band-aid on the other person’s neck.
Wen Ran instantly lowered his head uncomfortably.
Damn.
Song Zixuan didn’t notice their eye contact. “Why did you come over?”
“Nothing much today, just came to see you guys.”
Jiang Yan was carrying a box of milk and an exquisite bag. The packaging from “Suxin Pavilion” caught Song Zixuan’s attention instantly.
Suxin Pavilion was the hottest dim sum shop in the city. Although they had many chain stores, supply still couldn’t meet demand, and one had to queue for a long time each visit.
Song Zixuan was incredibly moved, surprise turning into delight. “You saying you came to see me was moving enough, but you even queued to buy Suxin Pavilion for me!”
“You treat me so well. As expected of my good brother!”
Song Zixuan went to take the bag from Jiang Yan’s hand, but before he could touch it, the other party slapped his hand away. “What are you doing? It’s not for you.”
Song Zixuan was stunned. “?”
Do you have a second younger brother?
Then he watched helplessly as his brother carried the things to Wen Ran and placed the dim sum on the table.
“I didn’t know what flavor you like, so I bought a little of everything,” Jiang Yan said. “Next time, tell Brother.”
Song Zixuan was flabbergasted, thinking, What is going on?
Why is my brother giving things to Wen Ran?
Are their relations this good now?
Wen Ran glared at him fiercely. The joy of taking first place on the leaderboard vanished in an instant. Why did Jiang Yan have to speak to him in such an intimate tone? He didn’t even dare to face Song Zixuan’s curious eyes.
Jiang Yan, having finally seen a certain someone after so many days, found him still completely unable to handle teasing, just like a little kitten. His mood instantly became pleasant.
“I have some business with Wen Ran,” Jiang Yan said. “Song Zixuan, go get a bottle of milk and heat it up for Wen Ran.”
Song Zixuan: “…” I must be dreaming.
Wen Ran: “…” Clenched fists. What does this dog want to do?
The two entered the room. Wen Ran closed the door and said through gritted teeth, “Didn’t we agree to pretend nothing happened? What are you doing now?”
“For so many days, you didn’t reply to Brother’s messages.” Jiang Yan looked full of helplessness. “Brother had no choice but to come find you himself.”
What kind of messages did this dog send him?
[Little scoundrel, does your butt still hurt?]
[Do you want Brother to buy some medicine and send it over?]
In a fit of anger, Wen Ran had set him to ‘Do Not Disturb’.
Coupled with being busy with the Chenguang Cup these past few days, he had completely thrown Jiang Yan to the back of his mind.
“Sure enough, still cuter offline,” Jiang Yan smiled faintly. “Talkative.”
“And knows how to bristle.”
[Translatorâs Note: “Straw Boats Borrow Arrows” is a famous tactic from the Three Kingdoms period where Zhuge Liang used boats covered in straw men to trick the enemy into shooting arrows at them, thus collecting weaponry. Wen Ran is using a pun on “Arrow” (Jian) and “Bitchiness/Cheapness” (Jian), essentially saying “I’m not here to collect your bitchiness.”]
