Shi Wen turned on his stream out of habit. The moment the camera flickered on, his previously furious fans instantly quieted down.
It had to be said that SG really knew how to handle their fans.
In the summer tournament that just ended last month, SG once again narrowly missed the championship. Because of this, they were collectively mocked for “blowing in the wind every year”—the seeds of hope couldn’t even make it out of the country.
Even so, a group of fans steadfastly supported SG. After all, SG was the first domestic team to fight their way into the top four of the global finals. If that incident hadn’t happened back then, they might have even won the championship.
Starting player Nine had disappeared without a reason. Because the roster SG submitted had no substitute players, they were forced to forfeit the match. That single tournament resulted in the retirement of three SG players, and SG had been in a slump ever since.
During this transfer period, SG’s roster changes were the most confusing. Ever since their Support announced his retirement, SG once again fell into the awkward predicament of being unable to scrape together a starting lineup. It inexplicably reminded fans of their darkest hour three years ago.
[Even though he’s stood us up for so many days, of course we choose to forgive him.] [Are they making Swen take the heat again this time? What exactly is management doing?] [So, did SG manage to recruit anyone? We’ve really been strung along until we’re numb.]
Following the club’s instructions, Shi Wen pacified the fans. As for who they were recruiting, it truly hadn’t been decided yet.
Whenever this happened, he uncontrollably thought of a certain someone.
Mu Jiu, Nine.
Irresponsible, and capricious. But even if he didn’t want to admit it in his heart, he had never met a teammate who was more perfectly in sync with him.
An invitation popped up in the chat box. It was the solo practice he had scheduled yesterday. Just as Shi Wen was about to click it, his mouse unconsciously paused. His gaze uncontrollably locked onto an ID.
An ID that had been grayed out for a long time, gathering dust at the very bottom of his friends list.
Nine.
After three seconds of dead silence, the gongping went completely crazy.
[Wait, are my eyes playing tricks on me? Nine is back?]
[Mom, I must be sick. I’m already dreaming in broad daylight.]
[That forfeit dog still dares to come back?]
[We’ve already issued a bounty to sanction that forfeit dog, see the main page for details.]
Although Shi Wen tried his best to maintain his composure, his taut lip line betrayed the turbulent emotions in his heart. Finally recovering his wits, Shi Wen found a moment to glance at the gongping. His brows furrowed imperceptibly. “Fangguan, make sure to ban them.”
A single sentence stirred up a thousand waves.
Everyone remembered when Nine forfeited three years ago. Shi Wen had thrown a minor fit, hesitating for a long time on the ‘delete friend’ interface before finally just unpinning Nine. At that time, his conflicted and perplexed expression—filled with a mix of love and hate, along with a trace of lingering attachment—had directly shot to the top of the trending searches under the hashtag: “Your eyes, they still love him.”
[Your eyes, they still love him.] Three years later, it flooded the screen once again.
The fans of the various e-sports circles had always fought amongst themselves in complete chaos, up until the return of a single person.
[Cease the chaotic crossfire, start focus-firing.] [The entire league’s hei yueguang is back! I never thought I’d see the day when the e-sports circle would unite in grand solidarity.]
Looking at the malicious comments floating across the gongping, Mu Jiu curled his lips into a smile, offering no comment, though his smile nearly blinded the eyes of his anti-fans.
[…With such dazzling beauty, how about we just stop playing games and mix in the entertainment circle instead?]
Despite being entirely occupied with the game, Mu Jiu handled the barrage of comments on the gongping with practiced ease. His tone was light, yet firm.
“No. I came back this time because I want to win the championship.” He wanted to fulfill the promise of sharing the glory with a certain someone.
Watching his smooth, flowing mechanics as he hard-carried his teammates to victory, the barrage of comments fell silent. They finally remembered that before Mu Jiu earned the title of the league’s hei yueguang, he had another title:
The League’s Number One Operator.
Mechanically god-tier but mentally unstable hei yueguang (Bottom) X Noble, aloof, and actually a tsundere genius shotcaller (Top)
- The game Wuxian Weidu is an original creation by the author. It is an asymmetrical competitive game; the gameplay is similar to Dead by Daylight and Identity V. The game is completely original! The mechanics will be introduced, so there’s zero barrier to entry.
- The game’s character designs are all made up by the author. Please be forgiving if the stats aren’t strictly rigorous. The game’s background setting and character settings will be summarized in the author’s notes.
- The characters in this novel have no real-life prototypes.
Translator Notes:
- Hei yueguang (黑月光): Literally “Black Moonlight.” A subversion of the popular “White Moonlight” (an unforgettable, pure first love) trope. It refers to someone who is unforgettable and deeply missed, but possesses a dark, tarnished, or villainous nature.
