Don’t Be Afraid, Let’s Do It Together (E-sports) - Chapter 5

In real life, they may be cowardly, but online, Xie Yao strikes back with a heavy hand, completely unafraid of the haters angry comments.

He had been squatting in the live streaming room for a long time, until the time reached one o’clock, which was his usual streaming time.

Xiao Fang, who had been diligently moderating the room, banning, kicking out, and blocking black fans with a one-stop service, couldn’t help but send a message to Xie Yao on WeChat when he didn’t appear on time to start his stream.

Although Xie Yao used Xiao Fang’s shared link to log in as a guest and sneak a peek, guests usually do not have an ID or level. Such blank accounts are not uncommon in live streaming rooms, and Xiao Fang couldn’t tell which one was Xie Yao.

However, he was as calm as an old dog, as if the black fans’ insults were not aimed at Xie Yao. Xiao Fang expressed that he couldn’t take it and was very nervous.

As soon as the WeChat message arrived, Xie Yao opened the chat box.

Xiao Fang kept lamenting in the chat box: “Brother! Have you arrived yet? It’s one o’clock, it’s time to start the livestream. What should we do with so many black fans in the livestream?”

Like Xie Yao, Xiao Fang had only recently joined SharkTV and was not proficient in dealing with the black fans. In the past, Xie Yao had handled them himself, while Xiao Fang only had to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

It’s just that this time, it seemed to have escalated.

Xie Yao calmly replied, “Don’t worry, these people are just venting their pent-up anger from not being able to criticize me before. I can handle it.”

When he peeked at the livestream earlier, he wasn’t just there to watch the show.

Compared to the fans of Xie Yao, the haters clearly have lower status. Some of the haters who spoke extremely rudely were directly sprayed out of the live broadcast room. When their profiles were checked, their accounts had been deleted.

Xiao Fang was less calm than Xie Yao and still sounded excited, “Brother, your fans are here! These sisters are so powerful, but there are still many haters clamoring, what should we do?”

If it were a big anchor with tens of millions of fans, they could easily turn on level banning, but this method of banning all fans and Black fans (haters), including guest fans, is unfriendly to new viewers who have not followed the live broadcast room. It can easily lead to loss of popularity.

Although Xie Yao’s popularity is not low, he is not a big anchor. Xiao Fang is afraid to turn on the level ban easily, for fear of affecting his popularity.

“It’s okay.” Xie Yao replied calmly as he logged out of the guest account and opened the live broadcast system on his old computer, giving Xiao Fang a peace of mind.

“I have a way to make them shut up.”

He spoke with certainty, very calm and composed, and Xiao Fang breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he received the message.

In the live broadcast room with 30,000 viewers, the screen, which was originally pitch-black with a “the anchor has left” notice, suddenly lit up.

“Good evening, everyone. I am your amazing anchor, Yao Yao~”

As soon as the screen lit up, the audience in the live broadcast room heard Xie Yao’s usual playful voice.

Today, he was pressed for time and had spent all his free time on that outrageous video, so he hadn’t had time to freshen up.

Fortunately, he didn’t show his entire face in the live broadcast, just his chest, neck, and hands, as well as his loose old man’s vest.

As soon as Xie Yao went live, all the fans who had subscribed to the live broadcast room received a notification, and the number of online viewers suddenly increased by a large margin.

: Hello, amazing Yao Yao/LOL.

: Waaah, Yao Yao’s hands are so beautiful. My mom asked me why my phone was wet!

: Today, it’s the familiar old man’s shirt again. I suspect Yao Yao bought a hundred of them wholesale and wears one and throws one every day!

The girls were extremely powerful, and the barrage was filled with teasing and praise for the 2 minutes Xie Yao was live. As the messages flowed by, one could only see a few haters struggling to be heard among the hundreds of other messages.

He spoke confidently, with a calm and collected demeanor. When Xiao Fang received the message, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yao Yao actually didn’t want to deal with them. The more he dealt with black powder, the more they shouted.

But after glancing at the barrage, he couldn’t help but be amused by the struggling black powder amidst all the praise.

“Well done,” Yao Yao chuckled, and said such a nonsensical sentence before connecting his computer and phone and opening up King of Glory.

But his fans, who were in sync with him, clearly understood what he was saying.

The barrage was filled with humble messages.

Fans: You flatter us too much!

When Yao Yao started the live stream, Xiao Fang and his fans regained their composure.

But Yao Yao didn’t say anything against the black powder, after all, although he had a sharp tongue, he didn’t insult people easily, and his mouth was only for making fun of himself as a lousy game player.

The fans overwhelmed the black powder, but when Yao Yao started the live stream, their attention was all focused on him, and the few black powders who still hadn’t given up breathed a sigh of relief and began to jump and ridicule again.

: Oh, still using ‘amazing’ as a gimmick? Haven’t been beaten up by passersby and become autistic?

: Didn’t you say you had a winning streak? Where is it now?

: The host is a poser, and the fans are crazy dogs. Don’t bring that fan circle stuff into the live streaming industry. You can control, criticize, and report. Why doesn’t Yaogou just quit?

: Even if he wants to quit, he needs to be good-looking, right? What if he’s a hideous monster hiding his face? Eww.

: Who are you calling a hideous monster, you dwarf? Go to the crematorium with your red-eye disease.

: Even if Yaoyao is not on a winning streak, keyboard warriors like you wouldn’t dare to play against him, would you? Or would you make your boss behind you do it instead?

: Is Yaoyao playing ranked or casual today?

As the haters and fans continued to argue in the barrage, Xie Yao calmly entered the game page without paying any attention to the haters. He looked at the screen and chose a rumor that hadn’t been resolved to answer.

“I’m not playing ranked or casual today,” he said.

Usually, he played ranked to maintain his national ranking and casual to create entertainment, but today Xie Yao had a different goal.

“Is Yao Yao going to play entertainment mode?” his fans asked.

“No,” Xie Yao said, a smile playing at the corner of his lips as he edited the live room title on his old computer and hit enter.

The fans saw the title of the live room change from “Entertainment Anchor Blowing Up Fish” to “Peak Tournament Live Broadcast by Technical Anchor.”

“Today, let’s have my debut in the peak tournament,” Xie Yao said.

Jiang Song was a god-like presence in KPL back then, feared by both enemies and allies.

KDZ, the opposing team, feared meeting him as a jungle player because Jiang Song would take everything, from enemy champions to monsters, with crazy aggression. Many teams even criticized him after the match, damaging his reputation.

As for his own team, his teammates were also afraid of this fierce captain.

But despite the fear, Jiang Song unexpectedly had a good reputation in the professional player circle.

Almost everyone could talk to him.

Although SUS lost their ace jungler after he retired, the new starter who took his place was strong, and SUS’s momentum did not diminish.

Jiang Song still keeps in touch with his teammates after retirement, but recently, perhaps due to the team’s lack of training, the top laner Yibai would talk to him for hours every day, annoying Jiang Song. He repeatedly called the coach to ask for extra training, finally giving Jiang Song some peace and quiet.

But early this morning, he was bombarded with messages from Yibai complaining about the coach and sharing gossip they had heard on a video-sharing site.

“Shock! After getting killed five times, the little anchor did this to the mysterious great god-“

He clicked on the video while still receiving messages from Yibai.

Yibai: Captain, look at this video hahaha…

Yibai: I’m laughing so hard, can’t believe a man can talk like that, shocked my whole family!

Yibai: The enemy Li Bai is also funny, actually agreed, hahaha!

After watching the video, Jiang Song’s mood as one of the main characters was somewhat complicated, not because of being paired with another player, but because of that Wang Zhaojun.

During competitions, many fans edited videos for them, and he knew very well what CP fans were. Jiang Song didn’t even know that the other side was a live streamer until yesterday.

Yesterday during the 1v1 match, he only noticed that Wang Zhaojun had good skills. If it wasn’t for the opponent being too impulsive, he wouldn’t have been beaten 0-5.

Professional players always have some strange occupational diseases. Jiang Song appreciates talents very much. Although he was criticized for playing too aggressively, he is actually a very easy-going person.

Later, when the other side teased him, he felt good and teased back. He didn’t expect that it would become a hot topic. Moreover, looking at the rumors in the comments below, Wang Zhaojun was also a live streamer.

Jiang Song thought that the live streamer’s skills were pretty good, although his personality was a bit…

Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Zhaojun’s coquettish remarks in the video and added a difficult-to-describe description in his mind.

A bit green tea, or rather, nasty.

Yi Bai: This little live streamer is so interesting. If it weren’t for the coach going crazy lately, like going through early menopause, and constantly training me, I would really like to go and watch his live stream.

Yi Bai: I guarantee that if I learn from him, I can definitely disgust KDX’s top laner in the trash talk segment during the match, hahaha.

Yi Bai talks too much. Jiang Song closed the video and replied directly, “I have taken a screenshot of your words and sent them to the coach. Behave and train before he comes to beat you.”

Yi Bai: You are so vicious!!!

Yi Bai was intimidated by him. Although he didn’t believe Jiang Song would actually do it, he didn’t dare to bet with the coach’s fists. He timidly went offline and continued training.

Jiang Song leaned back on the sofa and his gaze lingered on the words “Little Anchor” for a while before finally clicking on Shark TV.

When he was still a professional player, his team had signed a live broadcast contract with Shark TV. After retiring, the contract expired, but he did not uninstall the app. He didn’t expect to be able to use it now.

The little anchor’s ID was easy to remember – “688”. When he entered it into the search bar, an avatar that was currently live streaming appeared, named “Yao Yao Princess”.

Jiang Song clicked his finger and felt that the anchor’s personality seemed too outgoing.

As soon as he entered the live broadcast room, a clear teenage voice sounded in his ears.

“What’s the goal for your debut in the peak tournament? It goes without saying – 2000 points.”
