Chapter 18 Old Wei, you’re really a man with deep sins (1/2)
translator: xiin
editors: apricot & juurensha
Bai Cai watched the clip from the live stream and tsked, “Old Wei, you’re really a man with deep sins.”
The video clip contained over ten professional players. Other than the top three, the rest were all newer players and even included Xia Dan and the rest.
Xia Dan was good at putting on an act. He even wiped off a tear and cried, “To be honest, the Grandmaster was idle a few days ago, and Old Yu and I were both summoned to play a full six hours of wheel wars.”
Yu Fei just so happened to be in a doubles game with him and followed up with, “Can you guys imagine? The sour yet refreshing feeling of your Egg God’s famous hero being stomped on and smeared into the ground.”
Xia Dan gave as good as he got, “Nah, your Fish God is a high and lofty jungler king, but he was slapped in the face by Grandmaster’s eight light arcs, papapa.”
Mm. These two mutually dragged each other down, and the video became even more lively!
The audience caught the key point, “Why was Grandmaster so idle?”
Xia Dan: “This can’t be said…”
Yu Fei: “Secret…”

The next video clip showed a real man who really dared to say it. Moonlit sneered, “He heard about the training match between Close and Gary.”
Fans: “???”
Moonlit spoke expressionlessly, “In ‘19, Close won the championship. He finished watching the live broadcast, then found me and Eurostar to solo for eight hours.” It was now 2021. In 2019, Moonlit and Eurostar hadn’t been in the starting lineups of their teams.
The scrolling comments exploded, “Damn damn damn! He really got caught up in it!”
The next clip cut back to the smiling Eurostar, “Yes, I switched to the bottom lane after that.”
When they heard the obsession contained within these words, the passersby couldn’t help but feel heartache!
What had their Euro God gone through during those eight hours?!
Wei Xiao also saw this video clip. He watched it twice, then called Bai Cai, “What’s the matter with these guys? They’re all star players. Can’t they feel some burden of their responsibility as idols?”
What kind of things had they said? A group of professional players had been bullied by a casual player. How could they just talk about it so frankly!

Bai Cai laughed, “A single person who has been abused still needs to care about having face, but a group of people who’ve been abused can get excited about it as a group!”
“What’s more, they know that you’re going to play professionally. Shouldn’t they lay down a good foundation for it and wash away their shame?”
Wei Xiao froze, then immediately refuted it, “Who says I’m going to play professionally?!”
Bai Cai was surprised, “Ah, the captain didn’t invite you?”
Wei Xiao choked: He really had invited him.
Bai Cai: “F*ck, brother, you’re really amazing. You rejected the great demon king twice. You’re really something else and can’t be considered an ordinary person.”
Wei Xiao felt a little guilty for some reason, “Don’t talk randomly about things that didn’t happen.”
Bai Cai: “No way, you two stayed in one room together for a few hours, and the captain didn’t do anything to you?”
Wei Xiao was quiet for a moment, “Old Bai, I suspect you’re driving, and I even have evidence.”

Bai Cai: “The driver sees the car. Brother Xiao, it’s time for you to wash your mind.”
Wei Xiao was too lazy to continue being pithy with him, “In short, you’re all overthinking it. I won’t become a professional gamer.”
Bai Cai’s words were accurate enough to draw blood, “Then what are you going on about?”
Wei Xiao paused.
Bai Cai wanted to strike while the iron was hot and poke at him again. Who could’ve known that this fellow would slap his thigh, “Right, as long as I don’t play professionally, the flames of their revenge won’t be able to burn me!”
Bei Cai: “Sigh…”
That wasn’t the point. He wanted Wei Xiao to see his own restless and eager professional player heart. But why was it that…
Wei Xiao: “Good brother, you’ve helped me see things clearly!”
Bai Cai: “……”

Wei Xiao: “In fact, if it’s like this, there’s no need to worry so much about it. Make an appointment with those star players later on; I think they’re quite looking forward to it. We can’t favor anyone more than anyone else.”
Bai Cai: “S C R A M!”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Bai Cai: “Scram!”
Wei Xiao scrammed, but he came rolling back soon after, “Old Bai, I used to only know that you were shameless before, but I really never thought that you would be this shameless!”
Bai Cai’s head was hurting, “What’s the matter?”
Wei Xiao tossed him a screenshot, “This… this… give my eyes back to me!”
The screenshot showed Bai Cai’s Weibo message from this morning. Oh, it was the one he’d sent out from his Gossip Emperor alt account.
The content…

To be honest, Bai Cai felt that his own eyes hurt from looking at it, “Wei Xiao, there’s something wrong with you, right? What are you staring at my alt account for?”
Wei Xiao: “Do you think I want to? I was searching for my own gossip. Who could’ve known that I would see this sweetness between you and Close… sorry, I need to throw up.”
Wei Xiao didn’t follow Bai Cai’s alt account at all. He’d been carefully searching for One Lamp Grandmaster and trying to remember how many enemies he’d created. Who could’ve known that some craziness had pushed the famous Gossip Emperor in front of him after a certain related search?
The latest Weibo from the Gossip Emperor that had been posted just a short time ago, already had ten thousand comments and a surprisingly high level of popularity.
Wei Xiao glanced at it, then hugged the husky and fell into a daze.
––The great demon king of e-sports and his beloved little support wife.
The content burned Wei Xiao’s eyes even further. The Gossip Emperor had written a short paper with serious analysis on last night’s double queue crash.
The exact match where Bai Cai and Wei Xiao had double queued and crashed cars with Lu Feng and Ning Zhehan.
Lu Feng had killed Bai Cai 19 times, and the analysis claimed he was jealous.

Lu Feng failed to protect Ning Zhehan even once, and the analysis was that he’d been forced into teaming up with him.
Even kicking out Bai Cai and going to double queue with Wei Xiao at the end had an extra layer of explanation––
He was going to fight a solo match against his ‘rival’!
Wei Xiao’s goosebumps came out when he saw it, “Old Bai, you’re really a cruel man, and you’re really vicious to yourself…”
Nobody knew that the Gossip Emperor was Bai Cai, but Brother Cai had really sacrificed himself in spirit to satisfy everyone. It really made people want to shout––how shameless!
The corner of Bai Cai’s mouth twitched, “Do you think I wanted to post this?!”
Wei Xiao: “Everything is for the sake of traffic. Old Bai, making this money really hasn’t been easy for you.”
Bai Cai: “Shit!”
He opened up the Gossip Emperor account’s private messages and began to crazily take a series of screenshots, “Look, take a good look. Yesterday, I received 800 private messages. 700 of them are YY about you and God Lu!”

He’d been kind enough to help divert the netizens’ attention, but this guy didn’t even appreciate it!
Wei Xiao was rendered speechless by this screenshot.
Compared with the private messages from little sisters, the little articles sent to the Gossip Emperor were even clearer than still water.
Bai Cai raged, “Get it?”
Wei Xiao: “……”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes, “Laozi is protecting you, yet you’re not even grateful. You’re heartless…”
