Chapter 8: Debut Stream
As the clock struck eight, Chi Jing sat in front of the computer and clicked the four characters “Start Streaming” with his mouse. A massive swarm of fans flocked into Chi Jing’s livestream room. The bullet comments refreshed so quickly that Chi Jing couldn’t even read what they were saying.
“Slow down the chat, I can’t see anything.”
Qi Feng was sitting beside him, out of the camera frame. He simply sat there, watching the bullet commentsāsome good, some badāwith a frown.
[Get out of Team FM, you ungrateful wolf.]
[My god, is he really this handsome? How did I not discover such a treasure player before? I just wonder how his skills are.]
[My Number One Mage Lord of Salted Fish is finally streaming after 177 days! Where did this damn kid run off to suffer in silence?]
[It’s not like the fans can’t afford to support you. We don’t need to take that crap. If you’re unhappy, just quit. Keep streaming and we’ll support you.]
Seeing these comments, Chi Jing felt both amused and touched. He cleared his throat and said, “I didn’t suffer any grievances. I’m not stupid, and I haven’t been bullied. The Captain and teammates are very nice, they take good care of me, and they’re very heartwarming. Don’t worry, I’m doing quite well.”
The implication was: I wasn’t isolated for reporting my former team for match-fixing, so stop worrying blindly. Hearing this, the fans instantly felt much more at ease.
[Are you playing games today?]
“Yes, five-man queue with the team today. I’m turning off the camera then, so you guys can focus on watching the match, haha.”
[Can you not turn off the camera, holy shit! Seeing your face makes my food taste better.]
“Keep dreaming, heehee. Turning it off now.”
[Reporting the streamer for bullying fans!]
“Bullying you my damn!”
The webcam turned off, leaving the fans with only the cold game interface.
“What do you want to see me play today?”
[Mai Shiranui!]
[Mai Shiranui!]
The chat was unanimous. Chi Jing felt helpless and looked at Qi Feng with a questioning gaze.
“Then play Mai Shiranui. It’s a good chance to see your upper limit.”
They queued for a five-man ranked match to gain stars at the end of the season. At this moment, the ranks of the five players were: Qi Feng (Legendary King), Mo Jingchun (Legendary King), Song Qi (Glorious King), Yuan Jibai (Legendary King), and Chi Jing (Legendary King).
Yuan Jibai couldn’t help but sigh, “Ranking up is as easy as flipping a hand, especially with the new Mid Laner here. I’m already trembling on behalf of the casual players’ stars, hahahaha.”
Song Qi rolled his eyes and couldn’t resist pouring cold water on him. “That’s because the Mid and Jungle are carrying. You just have to play weak-side and survive.”
Qi Feng clicked his tongue twice. “Tonight, we don’t need to worry about team composition. Unless we get stream-sniped, play whatever you want. Little Bai, not considering taking out your Hero Fragments to play? They must be gathering dust.”
That sarcastic tone, that coquettish auraāYuan Jibai wanted to facepalm, but he was also a bit eager to try.
“Then I’m really picking Yuan Ge. Little Song, aren’t you going to play Sang Qi? Pair up with Mai Shiranui for a strong engage comp.”
Mo Jingchun chimed in, “You take Sang Qi, I’ll take Galang. I’ll solo lane, you stick with Little Chi.”
Qi Feng raised an eyebrow. “A bunch of squishies. You guys are so arrogant. Then I’ll be arrogant tooāI’ll play Mirror.”
Hearing this, the fans sent a flurry of “darkly crawling” comments.
[Why is God Feng acting so coquettish?]
[I thought I was the only one who felt that.]
[To the person above, you are not alone! We are with you.]
All troops, attack!
Just as Mirror finished clearing the Blue Buff, she looked eagerly at the enemy’s Red Buff. Calling Yuan Jibai along to invade the Red, they encountered Pei Qinhu. Pei Qinhu had just returned from clearing his Blue area only to see Mirror openly farming his jungle. With his fiery temper, he couldn’t tolerate this at all.
He started with Skill 1 for a ranged attack on Mirror, then used Skill 2 to boost attack speed and trade blows. Mirror used her Skill 1 clone to deal damage and Skill 2 for sustain. Yuan Ge, crouching in the grass, used Skill 2 to deal hidden projectile damage. Once Pei Qinhu’s health reached the execution threshold of the Ultimate, he instantly used a Cross Slash to secure First Blood.
“Brother Bai, that was showy!”
Chi Jing couldn’t help but exclaim. The fans listened and instantly remembered how, long ago, he had stomped his feet in frustration after being trolled by a Yuan Ge in a Peak Tournament match.
[Does everyone remember that 2/17/6 Yuan Ge?]
[That memory is fresh. How could a 1900-point Peak Tournament match with 100-star Kings match with such a Yuan Ge?]
[I vaguely remember the streamer stomping his feet in anger hahahaha 23333]
Focused on the game, Chi Jing didn’t look up at the bullet comments. Instead, he called Little Song to go to the enemy jungle to clear the boars and birds, and incidentally help ambush the Top Lane.
Sun Ce had just stepped out of his tower when he was knocked up by Sang Qi’s Skill 1. Mai Shiranui’s Skill 1 fan took away a third of his health, and Yuan Ge directly used a full combo plus Cross Slash to take him away.
“Little Chi, that ambush was good. This will make my lane very comfortable later!”
It was clearly a very normal sentence, but after Qi Feng let out an inexplicable laugh, the whole vibe collapsed.
[Little Bai’s sentence was perfectly normal just now. Why does it feel wrong as soon as God Feng laughs?]
[Help, I’m dying of laughter. Who understands the comedic power of God Feng’s laugh? Is the stream going to get flagged?]
Chi Jing teased directly, “No wonder someone said you speak very little before. Turns out the moment you open your mouth, you sound like an old rogue.”
Song Qi couldn’t hold it in; a string of “hahaha” burst from his mouth, sounding absolutely demonic.
“Stop laughing, come with me to the jungle to apply pressure.”
Qi Feng didn’t get angry at the teasing. Smiling, he directed Song Qi to come deal damage with him. At this moment, Song Qi didn’t realize the severity of the situation. When Qi Feng happily left the enemy jungle with two kills and a Blue Buff, Song Qi’s cold corpse was left lying in the enemy Blue area.
“Scheming, secretly affectionate old man.”
[God Feng flirts with might, his smile cuts like a demon’s knife.]
[Scheming, secretly affectionate old man; if you don’t agree, fight him, don’t hold it in.]
Chi Jing looked up at the chat, and his mouth moved faster than his brain, reading it out loud. Even Mo Jingchun couldn’t hold back and laughed outright.
“Cough, our God Feng is beautiful and kind-hearted, he won’t haggle with me.”
“Stop haggling or not haggling. Come to the Dragon Pit for a team fight.”
Mai Shiranui entered from the backline, using her Ultimate to crowd-control, following up with Skill 1, then rolling away with Skill 2 to kite. Mirror activated her Ultimate, using Skill 2 to briefly crowd-control five enemies. Executing the “Flying Thunder God” technique, she instantly secured a Pentakill. Calling for a Smite to take the dragon, she went back to farming without looking back. The fans expressed that he had successfully shown off.
“Not a single kill for me. Tragic.”
Mo Jingchun agreed. Controlling Galang to clear the wave, he went directly to the bush at the enemy buff to camp. The moment Pei Qinhu showed his face, Galang used her Ultimate to trap him, followed by Skill 1 and 2 plus basic attacks to take him down directly.
“Why is this Pei Qinhu so miserable?”
[Dying of laughter, it’s like seeing myself getting blown up when I play jungle.]
[+1]
Although Pei Qinhu was pitiful, every bush that should be camped was camped, and every kill that should be taken was taken. Even the enemy Diao Chan was suppressed to death. With no hope in all three lanes, they surrendered at the 15-minute mark. Arrogant as ever, Qi Feng simply recalled while watching the enemy crystal explode.
Qi Feng spat out one word:
“Comfortable.”
The four teammates had only one thought in their minds: Why is this person so coquettish?
[Too flashy, ahhh!]
[Damn, that sounded so satisfying.]
