Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 73, Section 71: Release of Official Photos Shocks Taiwanese Enthusiasts (Third Update, Please Read and Vote)
On that day, the CFO's official account posted a rather strange tweet on the internet without any prior warning.

Hi everyone, we'll be announcing some really interesting news this afternoon! Stay tuned!

Just this one message.

There are no pictures, and no other relevant information.

It was just a simple tweet.

However, this simple tweet sparked a huge discussion online.

Earlier, rumors circulated that "a high-ranking female player from Japan on the Korean server is pursuing contact with teams in the Pacific League's top league."

Some people even explicitly stated that it was for the CFO position.

At the time, many people thought it was fake news.

First of all, most of the Pacific teams are already full, especially teams like CFO. Other teams already have two top laners. If you add another top laner, how can you have three top laners on one team?

It sounds weird no matter how you listen to it.

Moreover, a female player who has only recently debuted has directly become the CFO of a top Pacific esports team?

If you suggest going to DFM or SHG, people would probably find it reasonably acceptable.

The idea of ​​him becoming CFO seems a bit unreasonable to everyone.

However, everything that seemed illogical suddenly made sense after the CFO himself posted this message on his official Twitter account.

Shortly after the CFO's announcement, someone immediately forwarded the news to mainland forums.

[Holy crap, did you guys see this post from the CFO? Is Yuna really going to become the CFO?]

[Dude, this is all so mysterious, it seems like it might actually be true.]

Wow, is he really playing professionally?!

What's the point of going to the CFO? After all that trouble, the CFO probably just announced that Ghost King Yuna has become their official contracted streamer.

[That's impossible. She's doing so well with her streaming career, how could she suddenly sign with a bottom-tier team? If it were really about streaming, she'd sign with something like BLG.]

"That must mean he's going pro. Wow, I didn't expect him to be going pro so soon."

[This is ridiculous. The other team already has two top laners. Bringing them over is just a publicity stunt. Believe it or not, it's like UZI's first comeback—he only played a couple of games to generate hype, and then he couldn't play anymore.]

At this point, there was still a great deal of controversy surrounding this matter online.

Even though the CFO suddenly said there would be mysterious information to be released in the afternoon, everyone could guess that it was nothing more than the signing of Shimamura Yuna.

But until the information is actually confirmed by the official person in question, everyone is still on edge.

It's like the anxious feeling of waiting for the results of the college entrance examination.

And so, time marched on until the afternoon.

During this free time, people on the internet have almost guessed all the possible endings for Shimamura Yuna.

Some people say that she didn't actually join a professional team, and that it might just be a misunderstanding.

Some people say that although she joined a professional team, she's just a nobody on the sidelines.

Some people think that Sister Youna might be even more awesome than Ma Tou, and that she could compete with the reorganized Ma Tou for attention this year.

Some people think that if you can't even get a starting spot, there's no point in saying anything.

Some people even think that all of this is just the fantasy of Shimamura Yuna's dutiful son, and that Shimamura Yuna actually eloped with the old man and never came back.

In short, there are all sorts of explanations, conspiracy theories, and wildly imaginative speculations.
Before the CFO officially announced the news, there were countless rumors.

And that's also what the CFO's side is aiming for.

They wanted to generate buzz before the announcement, maximizing the event's popularity.

And so, the time came to that afternoon.

The CFO then promptly released the tweet that truly went viral online.

Today, we are pleased to announce some exciting news. Effective immediately, the prodigy top laner Shimamura has officially joined CFO Esports Club and will become a shining new star in the Pacific League!

As the highest-ranking female player in the Korean server, Shimamura is renowned across the internet for her superb skills and highly aggressive playstyle. She excels at characters such as Vladimir, Guan Yu, and Ya Ning, and has consistently left a deep impression on fans and viewers.

After she expressed her strong desire to compete and took the initiative to negotiate with us, we decided to officially welcome this talented young woman from Japan to join our CFO family.

CFO Shimamura, you are now officially connected!

In terms of content, this tweet is actually quite formulaic.

It's nothing more than the formulaic content that clubs release when new players join.

However, because the person who made the announcement was Shimamura Yuna, the topic's popularity was immediately boosted by several levels.

There was even something quite funny.
Because Shimamura Yuna is mainly active on Simplified Chinese internet, she is not well known to most Taiwanese people.

Therefore, when the CFO announced this information, not many people cared.

For reasons that are difficult to say openly, some of the CFO's fans are somewhat hostile towards Yuna Shimamura.

Please, who is this? Nobody cares!

Okay, if there's nothing else, don't call everyone out.

Is another female contestant creating hype?

[They're really not concerned about anything else, even heavy-duty stuff.]

As a result, the CFO later deleted the tweet, saying that he only posted the text and forgot to post the official photos.

Then, they immediately added a tweet with the official photos and reposted it.

In this promotional photo, Yuna Shimamura is wearing the CFO team uniform, with a determined look in her eyes and sharp, cool movements.

The only problem is
It's really too young.

She was wearing a CFO team uniform that she had somehow borrowed from somewhere, and it was at least several sizes too big for her.

The clothes were so loose they looked like they'd been borrowed from her boyfriend.

Even so, she still tried to strike some cool poses and show some cool eyes, just like professional players do, and pose in front of the camera.

But the result was that he wasn't handsome at all.

Instead, it has a kind of silly, cute and adorable quality.

Whether this promotional photo was intentional or not, its cuteness level has reached an almost unfair level.

This left the already unfriendly Taiwanese audience completely dumbfounded.

Wow, she's so cute! I'll start with Shimamura, and Driver and Rest too. I'm sorry, but you can leave now.

Wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife!

[OMG, are there really pro gamers this cute? Is this real? Can someone maintain such a youthful appearance while playing games?]

It doesn't seem like it's about skincare; maybe it's just that I'm young and haven't reached the age of aging yet.

[This guy looks like he's still in middle school, and he's already playing professionally.]

[Damn, we're not going to get any good results with LCP anyway, so how about we start Shimamura?]

In short, with the release of the official photos, Taiwanese netizens who were not initially that interested in Yuna Shimamura suddenly changed their attitudes.

However, the shock of Taiwanese netizens was relatively minor. After all, to them, Shimamura Yuna was a complete stranger, and whether she was good-looking or not was a completely new impression.

The most shocked were not the Taiwanese netizens, but rather the viewers who had been supporting Shimamura Yuna.

P.S.: The reason there have been so many extra chapters for charity these past two days is because we're about to compete for the Sanjiang Award. My editor told me yesterday that the chances are very high this week.

If it gets listed on the Three Rivers list this week, I'll put it on sale next week and start adding more chapters.

Let's read on, this is the most crucial moment.
