CH 7

The development of the world is changing rapidly day by day.

He suddenly got a boyfriend and a team.

His teammates quickly noticed the truth: “So you and Yin Shen are a couple?? Damn!!! We actually witnessed a live couple?”

“Best wishes to these two gentlemen, wishing you everlasting happiness and success in every game.”

Rong Yi hadn’t spoken yet, while Xiao Yin was typing in the public chat.

[All] Yin: Thank you.

“Two gentlemen, do you need a son? I’m the kind of S+ level player who is only a hundred points away.”

“Do you need a daughter? This lesbian is ready to fight, a master level orphan solo player in the canyon.”

Rong Yi: “…………”

Xiao Yin flew to the wilderness to steal a dragon, and still had time to type.

[All] Yin: We’ll let you know when we need one.

“Thank you, dad! Can you add me as a friend?”

“This guy is cool and has a sense of humor.”



“Hey man, listen to me. Remember to wear the couple’s tag when you go out. You guys didn’t have it when you entered, if it weren’t for Li and Yin, we wouldn’t have known.”

[All] Yin: Okay, thanks.

Rong Yi: “….”

In the official setting, Rong Yi and Xiao Yin were not actually in a romantic relationship, but rather had an opposing relationship. They had spent some time together before going their separate ways without knowing each other’s positions. However, because of this plot, many players believed that they were both gay.

At that time, he and Xiao Yin happened to like playing these two heroes.

During the time he spent with Xiao Yin, he secretly shipped the CP pairing of these two characters. He remembered the voice lines and collected a lot of clips.

His favorite voice line at the time was the dual voice line triggered when Xiao Yin meets Rong Yi.

When the two pass by each other, Xiao Yin says, “like now.”

And Rong Yi responds, “like the past.”

The teammates chatted and joked around, and the game soon ended in a joyful atmosphere of victory.

Rong Yi leaned back and stretched lazily after closing the end-of-game panel.

It was a slightly chilly summer night, and he was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt. When he stretched his hand, the sleeve slid down his slender and fair wrist, revealing his clear shoulder lines and a tiny, skinny lump.

“Tired?” Xiao Yin’s voice came from behind, calm and indifferent. “If you’re tired, let’s not play for now.”

“Okay.”

Rong Yi rubbed his shoulders and was about to click the mouse to quit the game when a relationship request suddenly popped up on the screen.

“VIT.Yin” has sent a lover request to you. Do you accept?

It was sent from a big account.

Seeing Rong Yi still hesitating, Xiao Yin paused and asked, “Do you want to be in a relationship?”

“I’m not sure about that,” Rong Yi thought for a moment.

With Xiao Yin’s huge fan base, if they put on a couple’s tag, they would quickly become a hot topic. Although e-sports fans value strength and match results, there are still many who care a lot about personal relationships.

The VIT team has just been established and he wants to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Xiao Yin did not insist and Rong Yi closed the game, then got up and said goodnight to him.

After staying at the VIT base for a few days, Rong Yi quickly became familiar with Ci She, Hui Mao, and Wu Dao Gu San as the transfer period approached its end and the daily activities of the players gradually returned to normal.

As Rong Yi had expected, RS had held onto his asking price and finally discouraged several other clubs that had come with offers, officially announcing that Easy had become a free agent.

This move did not reap any benefits for RS, as they could not receive any transfer fees, but it did suit his character. If he could not find a suitable position, he would rather retire. With this, RS had successfully completed their final move against him.

Now, all the gossip and press releases on the Internet are saying that Easy’s form has severely declined and he may be leaving the professional league soon. As a familiar place, RS gave him his final send-off.

The old members of RS also seemed to have just found out about this, and they all privately messaged him with concern, “Captain, we just found out about this. Why did it come to this?”

Rong Yi saw these press releases in the morning and felt nauseous, barely eating any breakfast. When he saw the old member’s messages filled with tea fragrance, he almost vomited.

After finishing his meal, he went back to slaughter in the S+ division and ranked second in the entire server. In a few more days, he would be able to rank first.

Unfortunately, Ci She was matched up against him again. If last time he was probing for a fight, today he was just an innocent victim. He was unfortunately killed three games in a row, losing a bunch of professional points and holding a pillow in pain.

He opened their regional ranking group and saw someone complaining, as expected.

“Today there seems to be someone going crazy, yes, it’s the one ranked second on the leaderboard right now. He’s killing everyone like crazy, catching people at level one, level two, and level three. He’s not human!”

“Who is it? Who pissed him off?”

“I don’t know the ID, whose smurf is it? Who plays as Yi?”

Several Yi streamers came out to say it wasn’t them.

Cutting a screenshot of the chat, Ci She sent it to Xiao Yin.

“E-God’s gone crazy, he’s been slaughtering in the Canyon all morning.”

Xiao Yin was reviewing with Wu Dao Gu alone this morning and didn’t have time to look at his phone until noon.

Ci She sent him E-God’s solo queue record, three consecutive 1-4 and 2-8 records, and the enemy’s MVP was always a mid Yi.

“You played pretty poorly.”

Ci She: “? Did I show you that?”

Seeing that Xiao Yin was paying attention to KDA, Ci She couldn’t help but speak up, “Brother, look at the damage output. I did three times more damage than anyone else, but he single-handedly disrupted our pace. What could I do?”

Xiao Yin didn’t seem to care, “Well, there’s nothing I can do. Practice your laning and anti-ganking and report back to me.”

Ci She pounded the table, “Xiao Yin, are you even human? Can’t anyone control him?”

Wu Dao Gu was standing by, watching, and opened his own group chat to take a look.

Wu Dao Gu is considered one of the more senior and stable players in the team. He is the same age as Xiao Yin and was previously bound to a famous Chinese streamer as his top laner, but gradually disappeared from the public eye after he turned professional.

The chat groups for streamers and high-ranking players were full of complaints and grievances.

Professional players generally don’t focus on their rankings because they don’t have the time. In fact, it’s very easy for them to climb the rankings under the professional training system.

But because they don’t usually care about their rankings, this part of the community has sunk into the streamer and booster circles, and being the top player in the region and on the Chinese server has become a highly contested area, affecting the interests of a large group of people.

Rong Yi takes the C position on his smurf account, and his ranking is already very close to the top player in the Chinese server even though he doesn’t play support.

Although he himself doesn’t know it, the top ten players are all well-known streamers, especially the first player who is a well-known technical streamer in China. During his time climbing the ranks, the streamer circle has already been in turmoil, with countless eyes on him.

Someone in a booster group has already publicly announced that they will five-man queue to intentionally encounter him.

“Encountering him” is a widely accepted phrase in the community, meaning intentionally finding and facing a certain player to prevent them from climbing the ranks.

If they can face Rong Yi and have five people communicating via voice chat and utilizing tactics and routines to target one person, it will be very easy.

And if they can become Rong Yi’s teammates…

At the beginning of the game, intentionally going AFK or feeding kills is all possible. Regardless of what methods they use, their goal is to make Rong Yi lose points. It’s difficult for one person to lead a team to victory in a game, but it’s easy for one person to ruin the game for a whole team.

These gray area people, no one knows who they are serving behind the scenes through the internet.

Most people can only resign themselves to their fate when they encounter this, especially those who play professionally. They don’t have the time or energy to deal with it, and it can even worsen their mood.

Wud= Dao Gu said, “Hey, it seems like they’re going to target E God. Who’s going to tell E God? Don’t let him get upset and angry.”

Ci She immediately changed the subject, “What? Is no one going to do anything about it?”

Xiao Yin lowered his head to check Rong Yi’s record.

He had been on a winning streak all day, but ten minutes ago, he suffered a loss. A quick glance at his teammate’s stats showed that something was off. They were all performing poorly.

“I’ll go talk to him,” he said.

Ci She began to doubt his own ears, “Do you have a way to make Yi Shen listen to you?”

Xiao Yin said casually, “There’s no way to deal with him.”

Ci She: “?”

Xiao Yin: “Can only accompany him to play.”
