LOL: The No. 1 Succubus in the eSports Circle

Chapter 218: Really, little bad dog?

Aze is still the best!
Aaaah~!

"Huh? What's that noise over there?"

"Eating ice cream in such a cold weather?"

"It's really cold, but the hotel is well heated."

"That's it..."

Although it feels a bit strange, Cheng Duling thinks it is reasonable.

After all, it’s so hot in the summer, but aren’t there still people who like to eat super spicy hot pot and make themselves sweat profusely because of the spiciness and heat?

Thinking of this, Cheng Duling also felt a little greedy. Taking advantage of the time when she was going back to the city, she picked up her phone and sent a voice message to her assistant: "Stepmother, I want to eat ice cream. Go buy some for me."

"Stepmother?" Cui Ze looked confused.

When did this sister have a stepmother?

I didn't hear anything on Baidu about her parents being divorced.

Cheng Duling laughed and said, "Oh, you really are not my fan. The name 'stepmother' is a nickname my assistant gave me. Real fans know it."

"Oh, then why is the nickname 'stepmother'?"

"Because my fans always feel that she and the staff in the studio are not active in their work, and don't care much about me, just like someone else's stepmother."

Cheng Duling explained briefly, looked at the message sent by her assistant on WeChat, and asked, "Oh, by the way, what flavor is your friend eating? I want to try it, too."

“Uh…” Cui Ze looked down again, and what responded to him was Teacher Xiaoyu’s charming roll of the eyes. He replied, “Vanilla cream, she loves this flavor very much.”

"Vanilla cream? It seems that not many boys like this flavor."

Because Cui Ze is an e-sports player, and when she was searching for information before, she saw that he had a game tomorrow, so Cheng Duling subconsciously thought that the friend he was talking about was his teammate.

"It's not a boy, it's a girl." Cui Ze explained, "We usually don't bring laptops when we go to other places to play games, and we don't want to trouble the coach in the middle of the night, so..."

Before he could finish his words, Cheng Duling interrupted: "Oh~ girlfriend."

"Hey, sister Dudu, don't say that. She has a boyfriend! If you don't believe me, go search it. Her name is Xiaoyu, and she's our LPL host."

Cheng Duling laughed and teased: "I'm not her boyfriend, why are you explaining this to me?"

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Although I have not had any emotional experience, living in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, what outrageous rumors have I not heard?

Regardless of whether Xiaoyu has a boyfriend or not, the fact that she is willing to lend you her laptop late at night and sit next to you eating ice cream shows that your relationship is definitely not just ordinary friends.

Out of curiosity, Cheng Duling actually picked up his phone and searched it.

"Oh, your host friend is quite pretty." After complimenting her, she added, "She's a good match for you."

"..."

Cui Ze simply stopped talking.

It's not that he couldn't answer the call, but both reality and the game had entered the most intense team battle stage. He needed to concentrate on the operation and couldn't answer the call at this time.

The opposing support Lux was very arrogant. She stood in front of the team and poked frantically. She faced a [Transparent Singularity] trying to slow down the Graves controlled by Cui Ze.

Unfortunately, Cui Ze's positioning was too good. He calculated the distance of the skill accurately and dodged it by taking a step back, and [Transparent Singularity] exploded directly into nothingness.

Lux was still not convinced and threw out another [Light Binding]. This time Cui Ze was also enraged and directly rushed into the battlefield with a shuttle flash.

In just a moment, the shotgun loaded with large lead bullets hit Lux in the face.

Looking at the thick and long gun barrel in front of her, Lux was so scared that she rolled her eyes and opened her mouth wide, wanting to shout for mercy.

But Cui Ze didn't tolerate her at all. He immediately used a WEQA combo followed by [Quick Drawing] and then an [Ultimate Bomb], which convinced the overconfident Lux so much that she couldn't stop crying.

“Wow! This combo is so cool! I didn’t even see it clearly, and you killed her in one second! Is this how a professional player operates!?”

"Hmph, pretending to be an expert, huh?" Cheng Duling subconsciously followed the game meme, then suddenly realized and chuckled, "I almost forgot that you are an expert... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, a professional player like you playing the qualifying match with a rookie like me is really a complete dimensionality reduction attack, and it's too easy for you to win."

Watching Cui Ze controlling the Graves to kill everyone in the canyon, while he himself controlled Lulu to speed up and provide shield from behind, Cheng Duling couldn't help but think of his college past.

After initially becoming famous after being voted the champion of the "Goddess Ranking" in the Facejoking campus beauties and campus hunks selection event in 2013, she became a celebrity among college students at NPU and even across the country.

After learning that she also played League of Legends, many senior players in and outside the school tried to get close to her by using this game, shouting that they would help her rank up.

Later, she did accept the invitation of an old friend and played a few ranked games with him. As a result, the next day, the forum and post bar of China Southern Airlines were full of noise, saying that she and xxx were in love.

And the senior who taught her to play games was actually showing off his achievements in teaching girls on QQ, and his words even gave people the feeling that "I have already picked up Cheng Duling".

Therefore, from then on, Cheng Duling never played games with a boy alone again.

Cui Ze is the first one in the past five years.

"By the way, I think you have a competition tomorrow, right? Where is it?"

"Wukesong, what's up, Sister Dudu, do you want to come and watch the game?"

Cheng Duling did not answer immediately, she was thinking.

League of Legends has been extremely popular in the past two years, with Jay Chou's global endorsement, the opening concert at the Bird's Nest finals, star exhibition matches at the anniversary celebrations, and various collaborations.

There is no artist who doesn’t like traffic. If they don’t like it, why would they enter the entertainment industry?
Speaking of which, it has been more than two years since I graduated from university and focused entirely on venturing into the entertainment industry.

In fact, in the past two years or so, none of the TV series and movies she has acted in have become popular, and the traffic feedback she has received is nothing compared to the school beauty and school hunk selection and her debut movie "Left Ear".

On the contrary, he was a guest in the show "Longing for Life", and the number of fans he attracted far exceeded expectations, even more than the amount he gained from a year of hard work in filming.

Cheng Duling feels that although she is quite Buddhist, it is not a good idea to keep standing still like this. She still needs to find a way to generate some traffic, and it has to be positive traffic, and she cannot destroy her own personality and filter.

From this perspective, it seems that linking up with the e-sports circle is a good idea. Because when she first debuted, there were reports about her love of playing games, which was recognized by many League of Legends players, and LPL also sent her an invitation to an event.

It was just because her schedule didn't match up, and she was more eager to prove herself through her work than to ride on the popularity of other circles, so she declined.

But now, Cheng Duling feels that he has figured it out.

First of all, there are only so many resources in the entertainment industry, and she doesn't have any big tree to lean on. She is not eligible to get many high-quality resources for the time being. Instead of doing this, she might as well find another way, increase the number of fans and traffic first, and then plan for other things in the future.

Secondly, she likes the game League of Legends very much. She has no aversion to participating in official events, endorsing the game, or collaborating with other games, and she is looking forward to it.

If that's the case, then what is there to hesitate about?

"If the game is tomorrow, is it too late for me to buy a ticket now?"

"Buy a ticket?!"

After Cheng Duling asked this question, Cui Ze's eyes suddenly widened, and the large lead bullets were loaded instantly. His murderous look scared the beautiful girl who was about to get up so much that she stayed where she was.

Cui Ze straightened his waist slightly, tapped lightly on Teacher Xiaoyu's delicate nose with a "pop" sound, and signaled her to continue with his eyes.

Xiaoyu glared at him and pouted with a reluctant look on her face, because she had been kneeling under the table for more than ten minutes, and if she continued like this her knees would be bruised.

I have decided to wear a four-quarter dress when I go on stage to host the show tomorrow. When I am seen by so many online and offline audiences, who knows how I will be ridiculed.

And this is not the most important thing. After all, although the audience is joking, they don’t know the truth and can only make random guesses.

But if Song Yijin...

The consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Xiaoyu raised her delicate and pretty little face, blinked her eyes and made an aggrieved expression, hoping that her good brother would forgive her.

Seeing Teacher Xiaoyu looking so pitiful, Cui Ze naturally couldn't bear to let her kneel down again, and his heart softened so he nodded in agreement.

"Hey, Sister Dudu, do you want to come to the scene to cheer me on?"

Cui Ze returned to the conversation with Cheng Duling in the manner of a little puppy.

Cheng Duling looked at the shattered red main crystal on the screen and the eye-catching word "Victory" and couldn't help but laugh: "I overthink you. I'm just curious. I've played LOL for several years, but I've never watched an offline game, so I want to experience it."

"Oh, that's how it is."

"Why, are you disappointed?" The smile on Cheng Duling's face never stopped.

I have to admit that although I only regard Cui Ze as an ordinary netizen in my heart, it is still very happy to be liked by a boy with such a good-looking appearance like him.

Especially for someone like him, who is playing games with a beautiful girl by his side, it is inevitable that people would want to compare them.

Humph... you are pretty, but that's all. I am a campus goddess who has been pursued by countless boys all over the country!

"I have no other virtues except honesty. It would be a lie to say that I'm not disappointed." Cui Ze answered truthfully.

"In fact, e-sports players are a lot like the boys playing basketball in school. Once there are girls watching outside the court, they will be motivated to break through, steal the ball, and play against each other. If there are girls cheering for them, it will be even more exciting."

Cheng Duling recalled her memories of school and nodded in agreement: "Your analogy is quite apt. But...what if the girl who cheered for her is the most beautiful girl in the whole school and the whole city?"

“Then I’m invincible!” Cui Zehuan said with an exaggerated tone, laughing: “Regardless of winning or losing, if there are girls who are as pretty as school girls cheering for me, I’ll be superior to everyone else and enjoy the attention of the whole audience.”

"If I win - see, I'm awesome, right? I play basketball well, and there's a school beauty cheering for me."

"If we lose - so what if you guys play better than me? I have the school beauty cheering me on, do you?"

"Hehehehehehehe——" After hearing these words, Cheng Duling was so happy that she couldn't control herself. She could no longer maintain her ladylike side and laughed out loud.

This little brother is really good at chatting.

What Cheng Duling didn't know was that the reason why she was able to let go of her vigilance and alertness in such a short time and play the game in a duo with Cui Ze and chat in a happy atmosphere was largely the result of the charm of the system.

Before her, there were several women who, because they were always curious about Cui Ze and let down their guard early on, were gradually attracted by his charm and fell into his trap step by step.

Cheng Duling, who knew nothing about this, did not notice her strange state of not getting close to strange men and letting down her guard too quickly. Instead, she continued the previous topic and asked with a smile:

"So, you really want your sister to go to the scene and cheer you on?"

After hearing this, Cui Ze couldn't help but raise a triumphant smile at the corner of his mouth.

Unconsciously, Cheng Duling had changed the way she referred to herself when talking to herself from "I" to "sister".

As a seasoned veteran, he knew that this was a sign of substantial progress in the relationship.

So he said, "We have to hope so! But Dudu, you are a star. If you suddenly appear in that kind of occasion and become a hot topic, will it be difficult to explain?"

"An explanation? What explanation?"

"Just... your agent, company boss, etc., won't they blame you?"

"Heh... I told you you're a fake fan!" Cheng Duling feigned anger and scolded him, then she began to explain: "I have my own studio, my mother is my agent, and I'm the boss of the studio, so I don't need to answer to anyone."

Hmm... that doesn't seem right. As an artist, if there are some negative reports, I must explain to my fans.

"Is that so? Dudu, you can decide your own itinerary, right?"

"Yeah~" Cheng Duling just responded and immediately covered his mouth.

Am I...acting cute to him?

"Ahem... I just happened to have nothing to do these days, and I happened to be interested, so I wanted to go and experience it. But if I really want to go, I guess I still have to hide my identity. It would be bad if fans recognized me during my private trip."

"Is that so? How about I ask the authorities to get you two tickets?"

"Oh, you're really thoughtful, aren't you? I don't think you look like an 18-year-old at all." Cheng Duling said, and habitually patted a puppy doll on the table, muttering to herself: "Right, little bad dog?"
