Boy's Love Online Are Doomed To Fail - Chapter 6
Chapter 6
System: [MeowMeow TV Star is a Big Idiot] was kicked out of the livestream room by moderator [Wanfeng Picks Star].
System: [Smash Dog Star] was kicked out of the livestream room by moderator [Wanfeng Picks Star].
A large wave of viewers from various livestream rooms on the platform flooded into Ji Xingchen’s livestream room, only to see the authoritative system messages of the moderator kicking people out.
Due to a boss sending a magical meteor shower, the condition for participating in the draw was to send barrage messages. Therefore, after Wanfeng Picks Star sent the gift, the barrage in Ji Xingchen’s livestream room automatically opened.
[Brothers, let’s put the boss Wanfeng’s awesomeness on the screen!]
[For issues that can be solved with money, I, Big Boss Wanfeng, don’t waste words]
[@Little Sweetie fans, with the boss’s total donation of two hundred thousand yesterday and today, is it enough?]
[Actors female anchor fans, get lost! If you don’t have a boss who’s willing to donate a hundred thousand at once, don’t come and pretend to be our Star]
There are rules in the entertainment industry, rules in e-sports, and naturally rules on livestreaming platforms.
The rule on livestreaming platforms is simple: Money talks.
Whoever spends the most money is the most powerful existence.
The Little Sweetie fans, who used to be arrogant because of their anchor’s popularity and seniority, were stunned by the twenty magical meteor showers sent by the rich boss in the livestream room.
As the army of draw participants surged in, they could only leave dejectedly.
[Moderator] Fang Fang: Little Sweetie’s fans who come to draw are dogs!!!
[Moderator] Fang Fang: Every time a fan of Little Sweetie draws, your anchor’s account will be banned once!
“Thank you, thank you, boss.”
Ji Xingchen, who had received another hundred thousand gifts, trembled in his heart.
If yesterday’s gift brought him shock, today’s gift brought him touched.
“Boss, you don’t have to spend so much… Let them curse, it’s nothing.”
Where is there a streamer who doesn’t get cursed at? Moreover, he offended a big streamer.
[Moderator] Wanfeng Picks Star: No.
Ji Xingchen: ????
No money or no cursing… What’s no?
Fans: [Ahhh, the boss is so domineering, I’m so moved.]
Ran Feng opened another phone and anonymously entered Little Sweetie’s livestream room.
After a cursory glance at the number of her fans and popularity, he disdainfully backed out.
He didn’t know how many levels of beauty filters were applied to barely make her viewable from this angle.
With this appearance, do her fans dare to compare with Ji Xingchen?
Ran Feng lowered his head and took out an old photo from the innermost layer of his wallet.
The teenager in the photo, dressed in white with black hair, had sunlight shining in his eyes, as bright as stars.
The teenager smiled brightly ahead, exuding a refreshing aura all over his body.
“Boss, want to play ranked together? You went offline yesterday.”
He hadn’t brought up the boss even after receiving so many gifts. Ji Xingchen quickly seized the opportunity to invite the boss.
[Moderator] Wanfeng Picks Star: Okay.
[Moderator] Wanfeng Picks Star: Wait a moment.
After seeing the boss’s words, Ji Xingchen remembered that the account he added as a friend in the game yesterday was Fang Fang’s account.
After quickly switching accounts, Ji Xingchen waited for the boss to come online in the game’s ranked mode.
But after waiting for a while, he didn’t see the boss come online.
“Boss, are you in the game?”
[Moderator] Wanfeng Picks Star: Log in with your own WeChat ID.
[Moderator] Wanfeng Picks Star: Yesterday’s account was my friend’s.
Ji Xingchen switched back to his own account again, and this time he finally found the boss.
However, his main account was already at Super King 78, while the boss’s account was still at Tough Bronze Master V, so they couldn’t play ranked together at all due to the huge disparity between them.
Of course, this problem couldn’t stump Ji Xingchen at all.
As a streamer, how could he not have several smurf accounts?
After adding the boss with a smurf account, the two could finally duo queue.
During the ban-pick phase, Ji Xingchen took the initiative to ask, “Boss, what position do you want to play? Still jungle?”
Wanfeng: Whatever.
“Boss, why aren’t you using voice chat?” Ji Xingchen asked when he saw the boss still typing in the game.
Wanfeng: I’m not convenient to speak right now.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, Boss, you’re so strong, whether you use voice chat or not doesn’t matter.”
[Onlookers say Star is sucking up]
[Hahaha, yesterday’s Star wasn’t like this to the boss]
Wanfeng: You don’t need to use honorifics with me.
Ji Xingchen looked at the boss’s inexplicable words and only realized it afterwards.
Did he think he was being too polite?
“Okay, okay, then can I call you Brother Wanfeng?”
Wanfeng: Okay.
“Brother Wanfeng~” Ji Xingchen called out with a smile.
Wanfeng: Hmm.
[Why do I suddenly feel a bit sugary in this livestream room?]
[Star and the boss… feels a bit sweet]
While the two were chatting, their teammates had already banned their heroes.
After the opponents picked Cai Wenji in the first round, it was Ran Feng’s turn to pick a hero in the first round.
This time, Ran Feng didn’t choose to play jungle, but picked Sun Ce.
“Brother Wanfeng, do you want to play marksman…” Ji Xingchen said and then picked Da Qiao.
Wanfeng: Why don’t you play mage?
“Playing the same position every time gets a bit boring. I want to switch it up.” Ji Xingchen paused. “I like playing support.”
The viewers in the livestream room were shocked by Ji Xingchen’s move.
[????]
[I remember a certain streamer once said he would never play support?]
[The streamer’s words are deceiving]
[You guys don’t understand, Star is assisting for love!]
As the game began, Ji Xingchen went to help clear the minions in the middle lane first, and then stayed with Ran Feng’s Sun Ce.
Ran Feng didn’t often play games, but some people are naturally gifted at gaming. He had only played a few games with Sun Ce, but whenever he did, he carried the whole game.
Although Ji Xingchen and him had only played one game together, they had good chemistry.
Sun Ce pushed the turret, and Da Qiao used her second skill. When Sun Ce finished off the enemy turret, the two of them would take the recall together back to the fountain together. The enemies who tried to catch them often watched helplessly as the two disappeared right in front of their eyes.
The first duo queue game between the two ended in a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
After that, the two played two more games together. Ran Feng played jungle, and Ji Xingchen played mid, creating a mid-jungle synergy.
Ran Feng played side lane, and Ji Xingchen played jungle, often going to help him catch enemies in the side lanes.
After winning three games in a row, Ji Xingchen’s frustration from losing games due to the substituted in the Peak Matches was swept away.
Back in the team lobby, Ji Xingchen queued up for another ranked game.
Looking at the boss’s rank, Ji Xingchen couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Wanfeng, do you rarely play games?”
Wanfeng: Yeah.
“I thought you were so good, why are you still in this rank?”
Wanfeng: Usually busy.
Wanfeng: Also not very fond of it.
Ji Xingchen: ????
“Not very fond of it??”
[No way, a big boss who doesn’t like playing games, not only donates money to the streamer but also carries the streamer to victory in three games???]
[No way, a big boss who doesn’t like playing games, how did he find Star’s livestream room yesterday?]
Ji Xingchen glanced at the barrage, feeling as puzzled as them.
“Then, Brother Wanfeng, how did you find my stream so quickly yesterday…”
After holding it in for a long time, Ji Xingchen finally asked the question he didn’t get to ask the boss yesterday.
It’s not that he’s curious, it’s just that there are too many people playing Honor of Kings, and how did these two strangers suddenly become connected by a thread online?
Wanfeng: I just happened to be watching your livestream.
Ji Xingchen: ?????
Isn’t this a bit too coincidental!
“So… it’s just a coincidence?”
Wanfeng: It’s quite a coincidence.
Ji Xingchen suddenly fell silent.
If the boss was here yesterday… wouldn’t that mean he saw through my entire act of pretending to be a girl and flirting with him from the beginning?
This scene is too terrifying, Ji Xingchen didn’t dare to think about it further.
Fortunately, the vibration of his phone alerted him to the start of a new game.
This time, Ran Feng picked Li Bai, and Ji Xingchen picked Yao, a standard jungle king with sister combo.
[Why did Star suddenly pick Princess Yao?]
[Because this way Star can ride on Brother Li Bai’s head!]
“Uh, what are you guys talking about? I don’t understand.”
Yao is a hero in the ranking who is not very popular because of her simple skills. Moreover, some players only know how to blindly use her ultimate, riding on the jungle king’s back and never coming down, which has led to a bad reputation for this hero.
When the teammates saw Ji Xingchen pick Yao, their mentality immediately exploded.
Second Line: Another Princess Yao, disgusting.
Second Line: Princess, are you and Li Bai a couple?
Ji Xingchen was about to joke and say yes, but the boss beat him to it.
Wanfeng: Yes
[?????]
[Boss is awesome!]
Seeing the boss getting playful, Ji Xingchen followed suit and typed along.
Star: Yes yes, what do you say, brother?
Second Line: Oh, it’s hard to win with a Princess Yao. Are you skilled, Li Bai?
Star: Brother Li Bai is very skilled, easy win, brother.
Second Line: That’s great, since you’re so skilled, I’ll just pick Jiang Ziya and go AFK.
After saying that, the teammate pre-selected Jiang Ziya and didn’t move.
Star: Don’t go AFK, brother! Trust us!!
Wanfeng: He plays Yao very well.
After typing, Ran Feng shared his Li Bai’s 98% win rate.
Wanfeng: We won’t feed.
[Boss, which eye did you use to see that he plays Yao well?]
[I really want to show the boss Star’s 0-8-1 Yao record]
[Love is blind, I understand]
Seeing Li Bai’s impressive record, the teammates instantly revived and quickly switched to Zhu Bajie and locked it in.
The action was so fast that Ji Xingchen didn’t even have time to see it clearly.
After the game started, Ji Xingchen still went to help clear the mid lane first.
However, he had only walked halfway when he saw the boss typing asking him to come back.
Wanfeng: Star, come with me. Let’s counter the enemy’s blue.
Ji Xingchen’s hand stopped, and he carefully looked at the in-game chat in the lower left corner, confirming that it was Li Bai talking to him.
“What’s wrong, Brother Wanfeng?”
Although he hadn’t played with the boss for long, he still understood Brother Wanfeng.
His Li Bai often went wild in the late game in the King’s Canyon, but his early game development was quite standard.
This kind of aggressive counter-jungling was the first time he had seen it.
Wanfeng: I’ll give you the blue.
The boss explained his purpose to him.
Second Line: Are you kidding me??? Does the support also deserve the blue buff???
Upon hearing that he would be given the blue buff, Ji Xingchen, who still had the trauma of playing mid, ignored Zhu Bajie’s doubts and directly followed Li Bai.
The two quickly arrived in the enemy’s jungle, and the enemy’s jungler, Han Xin, was entangled with the blue buff.
Without saying a word, Ran Feng went up to steal Han Xin’s blue buff, and Ji Xingchen also pressed his second skill to help Li Bai deal damage.
The enemy’s Han Xin was probably a bit inexperienced. Li Bai hadn’t even hit him a few times before he was already low on health.
Knowing that he couldn’t defend his blue buff, Han Xin directly abandoned it and fled.
With no enemy jungler around, Ji Xingchen took over the blue buff. After a few hits, he turned around and wanted to leave.
But he found that Li Bai didn’t choose to retreat, but instead went directly to chase the low-health Han Xin.
The result was, of course, that Li Bai caught up with Han Xin and even got the first blood.
“Brother Wanfeng is amazing.”
Ji Xingchen praised Ran Feng in the game and blew a rainbow fart.
The boss’s play tonight is really fierce!!
Ji Xingchen leveled up Yao to level four and freed his hands to ride on Li Bai’s head, following him in the canyon to do as he pleased.
Li Bai’s rhythm was very good, his dragon initiation and team fights were all just right. With such a big shot around, they played this game smoothly.
Even Ji Xingchen, who played games with his feet as a support, benefited, getting a lot of assists and having a very impressive record.
With the two of them together, having control, shields, and mobility, whenever the enemy’s Han Xin appeared in the red or blue jungle, he would be instantly killed by the two lying in the bushes with just a few hits.
After being killed six times in a row by Li Bai, the enemy’s Han Xin became much more obedient, always asking the support to protect him and hiding under the turret to farm cautiously.
However, even so, Li Bai didn’t let him off.
Wanfeng: Star, help me take some damage.
“Okay~”
Before Ji Xingchen’s word “okay” could finish, Li Bai had already turret-dived and reduced Han Xin to a sliver of health.
Then, just like the first time Ji Xingchen played with him, Li Bai didn’t continue dealing damage, but instead gave the kill to Ji Xingchen.
Ji Xingchen quickly used his first skill, and the small ball automatically locked onto Han Xin, directly securing the kill with his Yao.
After taking damage from the turret, Yao jumped off Li Bai’s body and turned into a cute little deer. Ji Xingchen controlled Yao to bounce away from Han Xin’s corpse lying under the turret.
At first, Ji Xingchen thought the boss was just playing more aggressively tonight, but now he suddenly realized something.
It seemed like the boss had been targeting the enemy’s Han Xin from the beginning, relentlessly focusing on him alone.
After the boss’s Li Bai once again took down Han Xin while outnumbered near the Dragon Pit, someone on the enemy team couldn’t hold back any longer.
[All] Guan Yu: You big boss, is it fun to bully girls?
It was obvious that this remark was aimed at Li Bai.
At first, Ji Xingchen didn’t think there was anything wrong with this sentence, but after thinking it over carefully, he realized that there was more to it than meets the eye!
Calling Li Bai “boss” right away meant they knew who they were.
The clueless Ji Xingchen quickly opened the scoreboard to see the enemy’s IDs.
Sure enough, the Han Xin who had been constantly bullied by them was none other than the actor who had just called for a performance.
The account she was using was obviously a smurf, named “MeowMeowTV Little Sweetie “.
One difference between ranked matches and peak battles is that during the game, you can’t see anyone’s ID in the match, you only know who you played with after the game.
But in ranked matches, it’s the opposite, you can see anyone’s ID during the game!
Normally, Ji Xingchen should have realized early on that he had run into Little Sweetie again.
But he didn’t have the habit of looking at teammates’ and opponents’ names, and coupled with playing Yao just to ride on Li Bai and kill randomly, he also didn’t check the live stream’s barrage at the first time. So until now, he had no idea who they were facing.
Ji Xingchen glanced at Han Xin’s corpse still on countdown and smiled faintly.
It really is a small world, running into each other several times in peak battles and ranked matches in one night. How deep is this karma?
“Brother Wanfeng, did you recognize her earlier?”
Wanfeng: Yeah
Seeing this short word, Ji Xingchen’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
So that’s why the boss was playing so aggressively this game, and why he kept focusing on Han Xin. It all makes sense now.
The boss was helping him get revenge…
As a small streamer with no popularity or fans, encountering this kind of situation often meant enduring it alone.
But tonight, the boss not only helped him save face in the live stream, but also ruthlessly bullied the opponent in the game.
Ji Xingchen couldn’t help but feel a little moved.
Seeing that Li Bai ignored him, the opponent Guan Yu kept complaining.
On the other hand, the constantly killed Little Sweetie, with a very pitiful score of 1-12-1, weakly said, “I’m okay.”
Ji Xingchen glanced at Little Sweetie’s record and couldn’t help but comment, “This is her true level, isn’t it?”
In peak battles, hiring actors to boost rankings, and playing by one’s true level in the Eternal Diamond rank, it’s a bit embarrassing for Little Sweetie’s face.
She rubbed her eyes and temples in front of the camera, sighed softly, “I’ve been streaming for twelve hours today, not in a very good condition.”
“I thought I could play as the jungle king after being killed by Han Xin in a few matches before, but it’s so embarrassing to play jungle, I won’t play it anymore in the future, it’s too shameful.”
“Forget it, I won’t play anymore, I’m a bit tired, I’ll end the stream and rest first.”
“See you tomorrow, babies.”
After Little Sweetie ended her stream, she didn’t go to sleep and rest as she said.
She logged into her smurf account and entered Ji Xingchen’s live stream.
Behind the camera, she rolled her eyes in anger.
What’s the use of these stupid, ridiculous, pathetic, and creepy guys just scolding the small streamer on the other side? Why don’t they learn from this rich boss and send her hundreds of thousands of gifts!
A bunch of useless people!!
Watching the small streamer and the big boss play another game together in the live stream, Little Sweetie quietly copied the homepage link and sent it to her main account.
Then she sent a private message to this big boss.
MeowMeow TV Little Sweetie : Hello, big brother~
MeowMeow TV Little Sweetie : Big brother, are you interested in playing games together in the future? You’re so amazing.
MeowMeow TV Little Sweetie : Can you help me rank up?
—
After bumping into Little Sweetie with Ran Feng in the previous game, the two of them played another game together.
Playing duo queue was always sweet. They hadn’t played for long, but it was already half past eleven without them noticing.
Ji Xingchen originally wanted to play another game, but Ran Feng stopped him.
Wanfeng: It’s half past eleven, you should go to bed.
Ji Xingchen was reminded by Ran Feng and suddenly realized that he was a bit tired.
Ji Xingchen was puzzled. According to his biological clock, it should have been time to sleep, but he didn’t feel tired at all tonight.
Could it be that the feeling of winning while lying down with the boss was too good, and the joyous mood made his brain excited?
Wanfeng: Go to sleep.
Prompted by the boss, Ji Xingchen rubbed his eyes, bid the audience goodnight, and ended the stream.
He was indeed a bit sleepy when he ended the stream, but after taking a shower, he found that he couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.
Ji Xingchen tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Helplessly, he took out his phone and started browsing aimlessly.
However, as soon as he opened his phone, his hands seemed to have a mind of their own, automatically opening WeChat and finding the boss’s profile picture.
Staring at the boss’s profile picture for a long time, Ji Xingchen’s thumb couldn’t help but move.
Star: Brother Wanfeng, thank you tonight.
Wanfeng: Why are you still not sleeping?
As soon as Ji Xingchen sent the message, the other party almost immediately replied.
Seeing the message from the boss, Ji Xingchen shivered.
Did he just send a message to someone while half asleep?
Moonlight shone through the window onto Ji Xingchen’s face.
In the pitch-black night, he read through the faint light emitted by his phone screen the message the boss had sent him.
For some reason, even though it was just a message on the phone screen, Ji Xingchen felt a hint of concern from the boss in those few words.
Ji Xingchen patted his cheek, feeling a bit confused about himself late at night.
Star: Having trouble sleeping a bit.
Ji Xingchen honestly replied to the other party.
Wanfeng: Insomnia?
Just as Ji Xingchen was about to follow the boss’s words and reply, the other party immediately sent another message.
Wanfeng: Is it because of tonight’s events?
Suddenly struck by the heart of the matter, Ji Xingchen’s typing hand stopped.
How did he know…
Was the boss a mind reader?
Star: Both.
Star: Just feel a bit sudden, like in a dream.
Ji Xingchen felt that this might not be appropriate, so he explained again.
Star: You spent a hundred thousand on me tonight, and yesterday too…
Star: I’ve never received so many gifts before.
Star: I don’t know how to repay you.
Ji Xingchen originally wanted to say that he would refund the part of his income to the other party, but he was afraid that saying so would make him seem insincere and hypocritical.
After all, everyone knows that being a streamer is for making money. If the boss spends money on you, there is no reason for you to actively refund it.
Wanfeng: You’ll receive more in the future, just get used to it for now.
Ji Xingchen’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Was the boss comforting and encouraging him?
Wanfeng: You don’t need to repay me.
Wanfeng: As long as you’re doing well, I’ll be relieved.
Ji Xingchen: ???????
Ji Xingchen could understand half of what the boss said and couldn’t understand the other half.
He felt like he understood the boss’s meaning, but also felt like he didn’t completely understand it.
With a head full of question marks, Ji Xingchen really wanted to clarify, but he didn’t dare to ask randomly, afraid of boring the topic to death, so he started a new one.
Star: Brother Wanfeng, should I add you to the room management group?
He remembered that he had only added the boss on WeChat yesterday, but hadn’t yet added him to the management group.
Wanfeng: No need.
The other party immediately rejected this proposal without even thinking about it.
Seeing that the boss was unwilling, Ji Xingchen didn’t insist.
Star: Then just send me a WeChat message if you need anything in the future.
Wanfeng: Okay.
For the next few minutes, neither of them sent any more messages.
The late-night conversation seemed to come to an abrupt end.
Ji Xingchen waited for five minutes, seeing that there was indeed no movement from the boss’s side, he thought that the boss must have fallen asleep.
He lay down again, feeling suddenly full of warmth in his heart.
Buzz…
The faint light of the phone lit up again.
A new message from the boss appeared on the screen.
Wanfeng: Over these years…
Star: Hmm?
Wanfeng: It’s nothing.
The other party’s abrupt and hesitant words left Ji Xingchen a bit puzzled.
Wanfeng: Why did you start streaming?
Other fans had asked this question countless times before, so Ji Xingchen immediately replied cheerfully.
Star: I like playing games, and streaming can earn a living. The audience is very friendly, overall it feels pretty good.
The other party didn’t respond, and it took a long time before four words were sent over.
Wanfeng: That’s good then.
Holding his phone, Ji Xingchen realized that he had unconsciously been chatting with the boss for almost an hour.
And during this hour, he didn’t feel sleepy at all, and even couldn’t help but smile.
In the game, he felt that the boss was a bit aloof, but now chatting with him, he felt that the other party was quite gentle.
Ji Xingchen looked at the message sent by the boss and fell asleep unconsciously, feeling extremely relieved.
—
Ran Feng leaned against the edge of the bed, resisting the urge to call Ji Xingchen, waiting for his reply for about half an hour.
Seeing that there was still no reply from the other party, he knew that he must have fallen asleep.
Reluctant to disturb him, Ran Feng exited WeChat, opened his own MeowMeow TV account.
The red dot in the lower right corner reminded him that someone had sent him a private message.
Ran Feng opened it and found that the one who had sent him a message was Little Sweetie.
Without even looking at what Little Sweetie had sent him, he clicked on the menu in the upper right corner.
Little Sweetie had been blocked by Ran Feng.
