Chapter 57 Translation 1: I am your father!
The broadcast ended.
However, it caused a huge uproar in the entire LPL. That night, his imitation of a mouse's "hehe hello" gesture was made into a video and widely circulated on countless forums.
Even at 6 a.m., Zitai still couldn't fall asleep, feeling as if his bed was full of mice.
So he posted a Weibo post.
Weibo user Snake-Zz1tai:
The beast that slumbered within has awakened! It asks, "How long until the match begins?!" @EDG Official Esports Club
Let Kingslayer face me tomorrow!
Countless netizens also joined in the fun, and the comment section of his Weibo account was instantly flooded with comments.
[A wild beast? More like a rat!]
[Haha, I was there the whole time during the live stream today, and I haven't slept since. K-God is truly inhuman.]
Of all people to offend, you had to offend GodV. Well, now GodV is on your radar, aren't you? Have you forgotten GodV's example?
[Just because Godv said on his stream that he was going to beat K, and then got beaten by K, he hasn't dared to stream since.]
[Zitai, I'll always be your fan! I support you in crushing K-Cheese! Organize K-Cheese's retirement ceremony for me!]
...
"Look at the state you've created, posting on Weibo at this hour while still awake."
The next day, after Lu Chen and the others finished washing up and got up, Ming Kai looked at Zi Tai and Zhu Kai's Weibo comment sections with a smile.
For some reason, ever since Lu Chen made his appearance, the LPL has become increasingly lively.
"What does this have to do with me? He should go find the rat. It's the rat that's keeping him up at night, not me."
"Brother Chen, I love your shamelessness." Mouse gave a thumbs up; he could only admit that Lu Chen was a genius.
"What do you call that? Shamelessness makes a man invincible. Our Brother Lu has no weaknesses."
Pawn squeezed Lu Chen's shoulder, but still kindly reminded him, "Don't lose to Zz1tai. I heard he's still awake and playing on the Korean server."
"Holy crap, all that effort and sweat?" Lu Chen exclaimed in surprise. "Then I'll have to put in my own sweat too."
"Let's duo queue!"
"No need." Upon hearing Ming Kai's words, Lu Chen immediately closed his eyes. "Brother Kai, do you really think you'll feel happy if you win the championship?"
"????"
Mingkai and the others were completely baffled by Lu Chen's words, thinking that Lu Chen was just showing off.
He wasn't happy winning the championship, so would he be happy winning the runner-up title?
Another day of training has ended, but the entire LPL is already in turmoil. There are no matches for EDG today, but at a glance, all the trending topics are about EDG.
When Lu Chen opened Weibo, his private messages kept popping up for a full half hour, making him arguably the most greeted member of the entire club.
However, Lu Chen didn't care. He glanced at it casually and immediately resumed his daily writing.
I quickly started writing when no one was looking. With the groundwork laid yesterday, the rest of the plot was much easier to write.
Naturally, it attracted the attention of the entire internet. Then, under Lu Chen's arrangement, the protagonist Lin Tianran picked the unreworked Fiora and faced off against Zz1tai's Gangplank in the top lane.
He claimed he could take down an enemy with a single shot, but when he went up there, he didn't know who he was, and the entire canyon was filled with orange peels he had thrown away.
The match storyline was easy to write; Lu Chen finished it in no time. He then started livestreaming to make money and, incidentally, used his talent to practice other heroes, since he could learn heroes incredibly quickly anyway.
When the latest chapter was released, Lu Chen's novel reached 20 words in VIP mode, immediately achieving the "Premium" status.
[Meets premium standards; the essence of Red Bull Special Drink has been extracted.]
Red Bull – After just one sip of Red Bull, your energy will be restored to peak levels.
The next system requirement suddenly appeared: [Gain 100,000 favorites to extract the talent – Eye of Insight]
"nice one!"
When Lu Chen saw this talent, his eyes lit up. He was already thinking that even Superman couldn't keep up with the three things he did every day: training, writing, and live streaming.
With this talent, he can maintain high energy levels anytime, anywhere, which is also very helpful in competitions.
It's important to understand that the competition involves not only skillful teamwork but also extreme physical and mental exertion.
If one day a match lasts an hour, or if it's paused from the afternoon of the day until the morning of the next day, then he'll know what true suffering is.
"Master of Wine, AD Calcium Milk, Red Bull Special Drink, hmm~" Lu Chen pondered for a few seconds.
A moment later, in the huge live broadcast room, countless netizens saw Lu Chen mix pineapple beer, AD calcium milk, and Red Bull together and drink it down in one gulp, which immediately made everyone's eyes widen.
Holy crap! What kind of culinary disaster is this?!
[Heretical! I strongly suggest expelling K from the LPL!]
People like K don't deserve to be Chinese!
...
"K is no longer human."
Inside the Snake Club, Zita shut down Lu Chen's live stream. He simply couldn't imagine what kind of human being could mix three drinks together.
"Hey, have you checked that person's novel for today's update?"
"I'm not going to listen to your mother!"
With huge dark circles under his eyes, he had finally managed to forget about the novel about rats and Lu Chen after the sun rose today.
Now anyone who mentions those words will get angry. Crystal Bro couldn't help but laugh when he saw the furious look on the man's face. "Take a look, the readers are all speaking up for you today."
"Wow, I knew I still had fans!"
Upon hearing this, Zitai instantly became interested and immediately opened Lu Chen's novel. The latest chapter's comments had already become a flood, one after another.
[Is the author having another episode? Seriously, Zz1tai wasn't that bad back then. He played Gangplank quite well; how could he get so badly beaten by Fiora that he couldn't even get his barrels blown up?]
[I understand criticizing Uzi, after all, you bought RNG last year, but criticizing Zz1tai like this is unreasonable. You portrayed his Gangplank as someone who only knows how to eat oranges.]
Have you ever played Gangplank? That's nonsense! Gangplank can easily beat Fiora!
[No, author, you don't think that just because Zz1tai played up Huni's value, he's really that bad, do you? That's wishful thinking!]
...
"Well said! This beast of an author deserves to be cursed to death." Zitai felt that the resentment in his heart had dissipated a lot at this moment.
"He clearly hasn't watched my matches. My captain is my specialty, okay? I used to take down opponents with one shot every time I played captain in practice matches!"
"If I had the chance today, I'd definitely give this author a captain's performance and beat up that bastard K!"
He snorted coldly, then glanced at Ohq, "Ohq, O-Emperor, if you get the chance, give me a good beating, throw the rats around hard, and let K-beast die!"
Upon hearing Zz1tai's words, the entire Snake training room burst into laughter, even though they didn't want to provoke him.
But his posture really looks exactly like a mouse; someone who didn't know better would think he was the one who voiced the mouse.
-
"Today's starting lineup: Top laner A Guang, Jungler Ming Kai, Mid laner Xiao Lu, Bot laners He Kui and Tian Ye, substitute Scout!"
"Who has a problem!"
At the same time, inside the EDG club, Abu looked at everyone and announced the lineup for today's match against Snake.
Scout really wanted to say he wanted to be a starter, but he ultimately gave up. After all, he thought about it again, and now many people on the internet support Snake for forcing Lu Chen into retirement.
If he starts the game and helps Lu Chen avoid this crisis, wouldn't that be helping Lu Chen?
Beating Godv is nothing special; Zz1tai is actually quite good, especially considering Snake has strengthened their roster.
Korean import AD Ohq might just be able to ruin Lu Chen's reputation today.
Just thinking about how if Lu Chen loses to Zi Tai, a massive purge will follow, and Lu Chen will be finished!
"Everything's fine, right? That's settled then. Everyone get some sleep and do your best today!"
As soon as Abu finished speaking, Lu Chen quickly poured a mixture of three drinks into his thermos, which made Meiko shrink back.
"Brother Chen, I think our EDG cafeteria chef should become your apprentice. After all, even he can't make such terrible dishes as yours."
"Tianye, what do you know? Have you ever watched Prince of Tennis? Do you even know Sadaharu Inui?"
"I know," Meiko nodded. "The same kind of awful food."
His words filled the club's training room with a cheerful atmosphere. After waking up naturally, Lu Chen and the others arrived at the sports stadium.
As usual, the competition had not yet started, but the place was already packed with people. The audience had only been seated for a short time when Lu Chen and his team heard countless shouts from the backstage.
"Knife in hand, follow me, let's kill that beast!"
"Support Snake!"
"Arrange a retirement ceremony for K-beast!"
These kinds of comments were heard incessantly, clearly orchestrated by GSL, since Snake doesn't have that many fans.
"Look, they all want to force you to retire. Uzi, Zz1tai, and Zhu Kai have all posted on Weibo." Hearing Mingkai's words, Lu Chen took out his phone and took a closer look.
Uzi's Weibo post openly supported Snake, while Zita and Zhu Kai's pre-match Weibo posts made Lu Chen laugh out loud.
Snake's Zhu Kai: [I'm a professional at ordering takeout, but I'm even more professional at drafting. There can only be one outstanding team on Ling Shi Road, and that's Snake. There's a mole in EDG; they'll ruin Chinese esports sooner or later!]
Snake-Zz1tai: [I will personally organize the retirement ceremony for a certain mid-laner with the surname K. Watch me take down a mid-laner with the surname K one shot at a time!]
"Oh! You want to trash talk, huh!"
Lu Chen immediately became interested upon seeing it, and Meiko even leaned over, her eyes filled with suspicion upon seeing the Weibo post edited by Lu Chen.
"Brother Chen, what's the deal with buying oranges?"
"I told you to study, but you're going to feed the pigs."
"If Brother Kai opened a pig farm, what am I supposed to do if I don't feed the pigs!" Meiko said matter-of-factly.
The next second, Lu Chen's latest pre-match Weibo post appeared out of nowhere—
Weibo user EDG-Kingslayer:
[@Snake朱开, @Snake-Zz1tai, don't leave after you lost the match, I'll go buy you some oranges.]
Lu Chen's Weibo post had barely been published when Zita and Zhu Kai from the Snake Club received a notification.
Zhu Kai was seething with rage, cursing and swearing, "I ate Gouba's oranges, is this guy a lunatic?!"
"Attitude, is it possible that he didn't mean that?"
Upon hearing Flandre's words, Zita paused, "What does he mean?"
Saint Gun looked at Zhu Kai's fingers, which were white from gripping his phone so tightly, and then at his posture before slowly speaking:
"Translator, I'm your father!"
