Chapter 75 - Smell
Edited by Divetus and Noks
Good Show: That’s not the main point, coming ma?
Yu Yan hesitated for a moment, and refused in the end.
Although playing games with a big-name anchor could increase his popularity, the number of antis would also increase dramatically. Before, with the trending topic on the search hotlist involving Tuantuan, many of her fans had chased after him on Weibo, posting comments saying that he was hugging her thigh, and inexplicably also saying that he was a slag man.
He didn’t particularly care much about such kind of talk, but his fans weren’t fond of listening to it. Every time the topic of conversation turned to something like this, one topic could brawl for several hundred threads, which created a very unpleasant atmosphere.
He felt that popularity could be accumulated slowly, and there was no need to use this way for gathering it.
Yu Yan: I’m very noob at LoL, so I won’t come to simply drag you guys into a pit.
After sending this sentence to Good Show, he launched LoL. It had just started patching when his cellphone sounded again.
He thought it was Good Show, but didn’t expect it to be Lu Xiuhe who had sent the message.
Your Great Lord Lu: Xiao Yan, I’m going back to playing PUBG again. Getting it ready right now.
Yu Yan: My computer has an issue, not playing PUBG right now. Want to come to play LoL?
Your Great Lord Lu: ?
Your Great Lord Lu: That place is filled with sorrow and regret.
Your Great Lord Lu: I swore in my heart last night to never enter Summoner’s Rift ever again.
Yu Yan: Okay, 88.
Your Great Lord Lu: Which LoL server?
Yu Yan: …
Yu Yan: Ionia Server.
Yu Yan logged in and stayed on the game’s home screen, and ended up waiting a long time without seeing Lu Xiuhe come online. His stream followers had already been urging him to play for a while, so Yu Yan simply called him on WeChat.
Lu Xiuhe picked up the call in seconds.
“What’s the matter?”
“Did you not come on yet?”
“I’ve been on ah, I’ve been on for a long time now. Go ahead and pull me into your party ya.”
Yu Yan scrolled through his list of online friends.
“I can’t find you.” He paused, wondering. “Did you delete me?”
“No…” Lu Xiuhe suddenly remembered something. He was silent at first, but then said, “I changed my username.”
Half a minute later, “Straight as Steel Guy Lu Hehe” entered the room.
Yu Yan: “…”
This name contained a strong flavor of “the harder one tried to conceal something, the more obvious it became.”
Because his LoL skills had deteriorated significantly, Yu Yan queued into a normal match to practice first.
He would climb up from where he had fallen. Since this was just a normal match, he didn’t have to worry about losing any ranked points. As soon as they queued into the match, he picked Zed.
“Why are you playing him again?” Lu Xiuhe was still traumatized by Yu Yan’s previous performance while playing Zed. “Do you still not know how to play ADC? Why do you insist on playing mid?”
“Want to play a solo lane.”
“Fine ba.”
Fortunately, the enemy’s mid seemed to be practicing a champion and had picked Lux. Yu Yan looked up the other party’s match history—3 matches with a 0% win rate.
After he solo killed Lux for the fourth time, the opponent spoke up.
[Little Mountain Spring Is a Bit Sweet [Lux]: Can we be a little more harmonious, little Gege?]
At this time, a rueful sigh floated over from the barrage——
[What’s with this anchor’s luck? It’s fine if he runs into Meizis every day while playing PUBG, but he rarely plays LoL. Yet, he still runs into another Meizi after one match?!]
Yu Yan bought some items while asking, “How do you guys know she’s a Meizi?”
[By the time you were five seconds into your game, I had already gathered all her information. This Meizi loves playing support, and is best at Soraka and Lulu. She also has a long-term duo ADC, and based on the name, they should be a couple. That dude is also Challenger ranked, so the anchor has no chance. Everyone, don’t be afraid.]
“?” Yu Yan was shocked and wholeheartedly exclaimed in admiration, “Awesome.”
[Little Mountain Spring Is a Bit Sweet [Lux]: What kind of sense of accomplishment do you feel while killing me ah? Don’t you see our team has a 600 gold bounty, why do you still come after me? What kind of happiness can you gain from killing me? For just my measly 100 gold bounty, you’ll keep chasing after me? QAQ]
Because Lux had been consecutively killed so many times in a row, her death was only worth 100 gold now.
The girl didn’t really want to ask Yu Yan whether he was happy or not, she was just gloomy that she died so many times. She wanted to use the all chat interaction to draw the combat to her solo top lane.
[Is it my fault I’m noob: Quite happy, thank you for helping me regain my self-confidence.]
[Little Mountain Spring Is a Bit Sweet: ?]
The match lasted for only 24 minutes. After Lux died for the 10th time, the other side finally chose to forfeit.
[Anchor, will you carry stream followers in LoL if we send you 2000 yuan worth of gifts?]
Seeing this line in the barrage, Yu Yan hurriedly said, “Won’t carry any stream followers in LoL.”
He was already this noob; he couldn’t let his stream followers spend 2000 yuan on a little broken bike.
As he talked to the barrage, he quickly loaded into the second match as well.
As soon as he entered the party lobby, he saw a line of small characters.
[Little Mountain Spring Is a Bit Sweet joined the lobby.]
At this time, Yu Yan’s LoL chat client randomly sent out a ping notification, and this ID was then displayed in the chat box.
[Little Mountain Spring Is a Bit Sweet: ?? It’s you. Let’s go duo bot together so I can get some revenge.]
In the lower right corner of the chat client window, Little Mountain Spring’s friend request also popped up along with the message.
[Wtf, Meizi requesting to interact x2?]
[The person who just said that the anchor didn’t have a chance come out; the friend request has already been sent!!]
Yu Yan was about to type out a response but his cellphone suddenly dinged, and he instinctively glanced at it.
1: I’m home.
Yu Yan: Have you eaten yet?
1: Brought things back to eat. Playing games? Is there space left?
Little Mountain Spring didn’t receive a response. She stayed silent, and said nothing more, but had already locked in Lulu.
The stream followers were just discussing which ADC Yu Yan would pick, when suddenly, the anchor raised his eyes and quickly moved his mouse to exit the champion selection screen.
As he ignored the question marks filling the barrage, Yu Yan continued to ask—
Yu Yan: !! Are you free?
1: En, today’s meeting went well.
Yu Yan: But today, my computer started having problems again, so I can’t play PUBG. I plan to buy a new one tomorrow…
Yi Chen recalled the computer he had sent that had been rejected and returned. He considered the thought of sending it over and over again, but still didn’t open his mouth.
He knew Yu Yan wouldn’t accept it; he didn’t need to mention it again because that would just be a waste of time.
1: Then, what are you streaming now?
Yu Yan: LoL… are you coming?
1: Coming.
Seeing this word, Yu Yan unconsciously straightened his back.
“Xiao Yan, what’s the matter? Queue ah,” Lu Xiuhe urged him.
“Soon,” Yu Yan said. “There’s a friend… there’s someone else coming.”
“Oh, who ah?”
[I’d like to see who was worth you giving up that Little Mountain Spring!]
[Have you guys been single so long that it’s made you develop problems? As soon as you see a woman, they’re suddenly your baby?]
[The person before, saying that is so boring ah. Everyone is joking around.]
Within five minutes, a player named “It’s not your fault” quickly joined the party lobby.
Before anyone on the barrage could react, the player used the built-in LoL voice chat to lightly say hello. Instantly, they all understood.
[Little Mountain Spring can go to fucking hell. We’ll never give up the vast river and sea behind us for just a Little Mountain Spring.]
“Can you hear me?” Yi Chen tapped the microphone in front of his mouth with his fingertip.
Yu Yan responded, “I can hear you. Were you having a problem with your mic earlier?”
“No.” Yi Chen said, “I’m using a new computer, not used to it.”
Yu Yan was surprised. “A new computer?”
“The one in the computer room.” There was a rustling noise, and then he heard Yi Chen ask, “Why did you adjust the chair to be so high? You’re already so tall, wouldn’t you end up looking down at the screen? If you keep sitting like this, there will be problems with your spine.”
[???]
[So the person who appeared at Xiao Yan’s side a few days ago really turned out to be 1, ahhhhhhhhh!! The ship is real!]
Yu Yan subconsciously lowered his chair. “I’m used to it. If the chair is too low, it’s uncomfortable to shoot the guns.”
Suddenly, the other side went silent.
After a while, Yu Yan asked, “Yi… 1, are you ready? If you’re good, I’ll queue into a match.”
“Ready.” Only after a long while did Yi Chen’s voice sound out. He suddenly asked, “What kind of shower gel did you use the other day?”
Yu Yan froze. “The hotel’s gel. What’s the matter?”
“Nothing.” Yi Chen’s tone was natural as he spoke, “After sitting here for a while, the chair smells a bit like you.”
