Roamer. It was the LGW medic who replaced the cannon fodder Xue Lan in the original work.
His appearance also shone in the original work. After “Xue Lan” repeatedly broke club rules after joining, everyone could see that he lacked the dedication for professional play. What he did instead was focus his attention on pestering Wen Yan under the guise of being a club member. Ultimately, Duan Wenzheng drove him out of LGW.
Even though everything seemed to be in a good state now, gradually easing Xue Lan’s tension…
The roamer’s appearance caused Xue Lan to feel agitated again.
If everything was inevitable, regardless of any changes, and the ending still inevitably led to the predetermined premise — then one day, he would indeed be expelled by Duan Wenzheng.
His gaze involuntarily drifted toward Duan Wenzheng.
If Duan Wenzheng did that —
Xue Lan contemplated this and felt his heart constrict so tightly that he longed for a breath of air.
He quickly averted his gaze, exited the battlefield with composure to recover, and awaited the boss’s respawn.
“That sniper just now…!”
Before everyone could fully savor the joy of the team’s victory, the individual monitoring the livestream exclaimed in surprise, “That sniper on the second floor was Liu Qi!”
“Liu Qi?” Pangzi asked, confused.
“It’s Thunder Team’s Liu Qi! Thunder Team’s sniper!”
Pangzi gasped in surprise. “Oh my god, why so scary? So the opponent is a professional?”
Lao Qi said with good intentions, “He wasn’t there among the people who fought against you.”
“Pah!”
Amidst their chatter, no one appeared to notice Xue Lan’s absentmindedness and the survival match was still continuing. Duan Wenzheng hid in the building and healed himself with a simple injection. During this brief respite, he exited the game. The computer was logged into Lao Qi’s live stream platform account, and Duan Wenzheng effortlessly found the live stream everyone was tuned into.
The streamer had lost the survival battle and was currently engaged in a discussion with his teammates about whether the two opponents were professional players. He made every effort to clarify that the individuals they had faced were undoubtedly professionals. Perhaps it was Wind himself, given how Liu Qi was swiftly eliminated as soon as the enemy breached the building. It also made sense that they were suppressed.
Duan Wenzheng subtly glanced at the absent-minded person beside him. The keyboard clacked as he typed:
Seven7: You’re right, you played very well. I really like you, can you give me your address so I can send a small gift to you?
That streamer was so irked by the waves of barrage on the screen saying how his gameplay was amateur, but upon seeing that comment, he exclaimed, “Ay, someone finally can differentiate between right and wrong! I’m telling you all, do you know who the king of the rising players is? It’s Reset. He was close to losing to me some time back.” For a while, everyone on the Internet wore complicated expressions while watching the live stream.
Unexpectedly, instead of getting angry, Duan Wenzheng smiled. He echoed:
Seven7: I agree, I also think Reset isn’t anyone remarkable. He’s not your opponent.
“…”
“I really like someone like you who speaks the truth!” The streamer felt so touched that he regretted they hadn’t met earlier. “Ah, if we didn’t encounter Wen Yan, it wouldn’t be like this. This is my fault, it was me who underestimated the enemy. If these people logged off after saying they’d confront Wen Yan, doesn’t that mean they switched to a second account? I heard a new medic came to LGW and it seems they’re farming a chip for the medic.”
“It wasn’t Wen Yan.”
His medic teammate seemed unable to tolerate his boasting any longer and expressed this with a gentle voice.
The streamer naturally disagreed with him. With a voice tinted with frustration, he said, “And why is that? Have you ever played against Wen Yan?”
“No, but I’ve seen Wind’s competition videos. His gameplay and that person’s are completely different.”
“You’ve seen his videos?? I’ve also seen them!” The streamer sneered, but realizing his tone, he toned it down a bit as he said, “You’ve recently returned to the country, so you might not fully grasp the situation here.”
At this particular moment, Thunder Team’s sniper, who had remained silent with his mic off throughout the entire exchange, chimed in, “The person earlier was indeed not Wind.”
No matter how familiar they were with Wen Yan, they couldn’t match Liu Qi, a professional player who had officially battled against Wen Yan countless times.
Liu Qi’s words were final. This time, the streamer was unable to refute.
He awkwardly sat on his seat, his expression turning ugly.
But Duan Wenzheng typed again:
Seven7: There are so many professional assaulters that it could be another team’s assaulter.
As if the streamer had found a way out of his predicament, he echoed, “Yeah! That’s it! It could be another team’s assaulter.”
Seven7: Can you drop your shipping address? I’ll give you a present that all men will definitely like.
Xue Lan, who was restless, noticed that Duan Wenzheng had yet to recover his health. With only the final boss remaining to defeat, there was no rush to continue immediately. But as he observed Duan Wenzheng’s extended period of inactivity, suspicion crept in, and he cast a doubtful glance at Duan Wenzheng’s screen.
“…” How could he not know Duan Wenzheng could compliment a person like this? Seeing him utter such words… He felt the streamer was completely oblivious to his current plight.
Nevertheless, he unconsciously remained fixated on Duan Wenzheng’s computer screen.
These days, it had become common for streamers to do live unboxings of gifts sent by fans, so the streamer didn’t give it much thought and typed his shipping address in the public chat.
Xue Lan discreetly noted down the streamer’s address. Even at that moment, he couldn’t help but recall the keyboard he had in his shopping cart, which soon could be shipped.
“Zheng-ge, what are you gonna use his address for? You can’t seriously be his fan, right?” Pangzi asked, his tone laced with concern. “This streamer isn’t even as good as Lao Qi…”
Su Yiyu said indignantly, “This guy is the streamer who made a bet with Lanlan that if he and Duan Wenzheng became professional players, he would eat the keyboard!”
“There’s such a thing?” The crowd started chatting, delving into the several conflicts that had occurred in the past between the two individuals and the streamer.
“Zheng-ge, you aren’t going to send him a keyboard, are you?” Pangzi scratched his head. “Since it’s a keyboard, even if you send it to him, he wouldn’t eat it for real…”
Upon hearing that, Xue Lan felt a wave of awkwardness and avoided lifting his head. While that was true, he believed sending the keyboard could serve as a subtle way to express his thoughts and caution the streamer against being so rude in the future.
“I’m not sending him a keyboard.” Duan Wenzheng causally closed the live stream and inspected his health. “Come on, let’s fight the boss.”
Xue Lan quickly followed. As he joined Duan Wenzheng to clear the boss, he couldn’t help but wonder what gift Duan Wenzheng intended to send to that streamer.
Something that all men would like?
Why did he feel it was going to be some sort of strange item?
While Xue Lan’s mind wandered, the two successfully cleared the boss.
