Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 94, Section 91: The God-Making Project Begins (Seeking votes, 4K votes)

The reason this statement went viral is not complicated.

First of all, Shimamura Yuna's words are indeed sincere and somewhat childish, possessing the basic potential for spreading the Bible.

Secondly
These words seem to have unintentionally struck a chord with many people.

Although Shimamura Yuna really doesn't have any conflicts with anyone, she doesn't intentionally want to be sarcastic or mean to anyone.

But
However, the implication of her words makes it hard not to think of others.

For example, some people have now adapted the experience of a certain legendary first AD to create a bible that "makes the so-called first ADC no longer just a marketing gimmick, and makes the so-called world champion no longer need to be qualified with the word 'empty'."

This Bible variant first appeared online and then quickly spread uncontrollably.

After that, they started arranging for all sorts of professional players who had a little bit of popularity or memes to be featured.

No one can escape JKL or BIN.

It was initially just used to adapt versions from within the League of Legends community.

But later, it gradually began to spread outside the circle.

There are various communities for mobile games, single-player games, and comics.

Anyway, in any circle, there will be adaptations of this quote.

Yuna Shimamura's shining bible has now officially gone viral.

The viral "bible" surrounding her, along with her impressive performance in the game, has already caught the attention of Riot Games.

Originally, the LPL's loss this year caused a significant drop in the popularity of esports events in China.

While Faker's popularity remains high, the problem is that relying solely on Faker to maintain the league's buzz is clearly an unhealthy approach.

Are you suggesting that you'll just stop holding League of Legends tournaments the day Faker retires?

Riot Games has actually been intentionally creating other players to become legends a long time ago, as a backup plan after Faker retires.

The problem is that without exception, they all failed, and the gods they created were all CJBs.

In the past two years, Riot Games has actually been somewhat tanking, having given up on creating gods, or rather, giving up on relying on anyone other than Faker to maintain the popularity of League of Legends.

They chose to come back and cling to Faker's coattails, hoping to make as much money as possible.

What? You're asking what will happen if Faker retires?
We'll see then. By then, the staff running the event might have been replaced, so what does it have to do with them?

Let future generations handle their own affairs, okay?
However, just when the entire Riot esports organization felt they had no expectation of creating another player with similar popularity to Faker, suddenly...
Yuna Shimamura appeared.

Riot Games has heard about the female player, too.

However, in the history of LOL esports, female players have mostly been associated with farce.

The most farcical incident involved an all-female team from the CIS region, who were humiliated by having five support champions banned and still couldn't win. In the end, Riot Games punished the opposing team for disrespecting them.

The one who wasn't too much of a drama was Mayumi from Brazil. She's definitely a skilled player and plays pretty well, but she doesn't seem to be at the level to play professionally.

Therefore, female professional gamers represent a promising and trending market, but unfortunately, no one has been able to truly capitalize on the resulting popularity.

Before Shimamura Yuna, Mayumi was already very close to reaping the benefits of the "female professional player" popularity.

However, before actually getting to eat the crab, they were still one step away from succeeding – their skills were simply insufficient.

Actually, let's not talk about how many games you play and how much you carry. As long as you can play normally in the league and perform at a decent level in the World Championship, you can still gain a lot of fans and become a popular player in the league.

But Mayumi couldn't do it, so her career can be described as half a farce.

But what about Shimamura Yuna?

The relevant personnel at Riot Games reviewed her LCP match recordings overnight.

I didn't have high expectations to begin with; I just thought "a decent performance would be good enough," since even the female contestants didn't perform that well.

Then, after watching it, I was stunned: "Really?"

Yuna Shimamura's performance in the match was simply too exaggerated.

This kind of carry-level performance is something that only second-tier or higher professional players in the LPL and LCK can achieve.

Not even that.

After all, LCP is called a trash league, but it's actually only weaker than LPL and LCK. If it really meets LEC and North America, it's hard to say who will win.

In other words, Shimamura Yuna delivered an absolutely carry-level performance in a highly competitive region where the top 5 teams are vying for the top 3.

For a female athlete, is this performance really of low quality?

She doesn't need to compare herself to Bin or Zeus at all.

Her popularity is only comparable to that of other female contestants.

Although Yuna Shimamura herself claims that she does not want people to use the qualifier "female contestant" when discussing her.

But such words are meaningless to both the fists and the audience.

You were born a girl; it's etched in your genes, and this label is on your soul.

How can you wash it clean?

Or, to put it another way, if you weren't a female player, why would you be getting so many opportunities now?

The fact that she is treated differently as a female contestant is an unchangeable and irreversible reality.

As a result, the relevant personnel immediately sensed the motive of creating a god.

The day after the match, Riot Games posted a GIF screenshot of Yuna Shimamura's vampire entering the fray and taking on five opponents in a 1v5 situation on their official international account.

The tweet was accompanied by the message, "Is the world's strongest female gamer on the rise?"

At the same time, Shimamura Yuna's popularity also began to rise in non-Chinese-speaking regions as the competition started, and many viewers began to discuss her.

However, so far, this discussion has only reached a small scale.

On the one hand, there are still some barriers for English and other language users to understand information on the Chinese internet.

On the other hand, Shimamura Yuna is not a well-known streamer in English-speaking regions, unlike in Chinese-speaking regions where she has a large following and can easily gain popularity by simply stacking buffs.

Audiences in Europe and America are now somewhat curious about her and somewhat concerned about her.

However, it didn't reach the level of fanaticism.

Her global fame needed a catalyst.
And this opportunity may be her entry into the world championship.

So, is it actually possible to do it?

Riot Games has already made preparations for this.

However, regardless of whether they can make it to the World Championship, Riot Games has already begun its plan to create a legend.

Now, all we need to do is wait for the right opportunity.
While Riot Games was preparing to create a god-like figure like Yuna Shimamura and making a series of supporting preparations, Shimamura herself was completely unaware of it.

She now only feels that she regrets quoting that passage from the Bible, and regrets that she impulsively said those words in a childish and immature way.

When Shimamura Yuna was interviewed, she never imagined that her casual remark would become so popular. She just felt the urge to express herself and blurted something out.

Then it became popular.
Looking back at what she had said, she felt incredibly ashamed. Her face flushed and her heart raced whenever she heard it, and she felt like she couldn't speak normally anymore.

How popular has this Bible become?

Let's put it that way.

First, shortly after the video was released, her old friend Akari Kujo sent her a LINE message saying, "I saw what you said in the interview during the competition in Japan, and it seems like everyone on the League of Legends forums here is talking about you."

"He's quite handsome."

Yuna Shimamura pleaded with her, "Please don't tell me this, I regret it so much."

Then, Akari Kujo wisely refrained from saying anything further, simply saying, "I wish you success~ I hope to see you looking radiant when you come back next time."

But not everyone is as considerate as Akari Kujo.

Not long after the game, the CFO's base started talking about this phrase every day.

They would bring up these words from time to time and make them into memes.

The CFO team members are all like elementary school boys.

I know you hate this and don't like people bringing it up, so I'll try to find a way to bring it up.

For example, during a scrim, when someone carried the game, Junjia, the jungler, suddenly said, "Let's make sure that the so-called strongest player no longer needs the qualifier 'female player'! Okay, Shimamura, you don't need any qualifiers anymore, you're awesome now."

Then Shimamura Yuna would get a little embarrassed and angry, her whole demeanor would rise rapidly, and she would say in an awkward tone, "I told you not to keep repeating this every day!"

At this point, the other teammates would burst into laughter.

Everyone was saying, "We won't talk about it anymore, we won't talk about this again."

But given the chance, they'll definitely bring up this joke again.

Its main selling point is its ability to penetrate every nook and cranny.

That's right, this is the current atmosphere for CFOs.

Regarding this atmosphere, Shimamura Yuna can only say that she doesn't dislike it, but she feels a bit helpless about it.

To the team, she was like a beloved member. Everyone treated Shimamura Yuna very well, and they liked to joke around with her and make her laugh.

Although there is a slight distance between them due to their gender and Shimamura Yuna's introverted personality, they are not estranged and can be considered close friends.

However, aside from Shimamura Yuna's personality issues, there is another reason why people are hesitant to get close to her: her psychological problems.

When Shimamura Yuna first joined the team, the team's veterans and coaches advised her, "The new member seems to have some psychological issues. Don't have any conflicts with her for no reason, and always give in to her if there are any problems."

As a result, before Shimamura Yuna arrived, everyone was on high alert, and had the worst expectations about what kind of person she really was.

When she actually arrived, everyone discovered...
Sigh, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

As they spent more time together, everyone noticed that Shimamura Yuna seemed to have some psychological issues.

In fact, since Shimamura Yuna first transmigrated here, her ability to control her emotions has improved significantly.

In the beginning, she would cry if her teammates criticized her even slightly.

But later on, as long as her teammates didn't act too unreasonably, she could usually manage to hold back.

There was nothing particularly special about her during practice matches; I felt she had pretty good emotional control.

After all, during training matches, everyone was just coaxing her and protecting her, so there wasn't much pressure on her.

Even before that, she would leave after finishing her training matches every day, so no one had ever seen her playing ranked games at the base.

However, recently, since it has been decided to make Shimamura Yuna the main substitute, the other two top laners have been playing more scrims. Shimamura Yuna has also been relatively free, so she has started playing ranked games at the base.

Then, the problem arises.

Often, the five of them here are engaged in intense training matches.

Look back.

Eh.
Why is someone crying?

Junjia and Doggo from the bottom lane were the first to notice what happened, so they quickly went over to comfort him.

The coach even canceled the practice match, saying that the whole team would not practice today.

I thought something had happened to her, and that she needed some kind of emotional support.

Although Shimamura Yuna kept saying, "It's okay, I'm like this every day, don't worry about it."

But how can anyone believe that?

Do you really think it's convincing to say this with a tearful voice?

How could someone possibly start crying during training every day?
So, they took her out for a nice meal that very night, and while they ate, they comforted her.

This left Shimamura Yuna feeling both amused and exasperated.

No matter how she explained, "This is simply a symptom of my mental illness. I couldn't help but cry, but I'm not actually that sad. I'm used to it."

But people were still worried.

After all, it had been said before that she had a mental illness, so how could we not take it seriously?
It wasn't until Shimamura Yuna contacted her guardian, Inoue Rei, and asked her to testify that she actually gets easily frustrated and cries when playing ranked games at home.

After receiving confirmation from Inoue Rei, everyone finally managed to believe, albeit reluctantly, that this was truly just an everyday occurrence for Shimamura Yuna.

After that, since Shimamura Yuna spent her afternoons playing ranked games in the training room, people often saw her crying for no apparent reason, and then inexplicably sniffling by herself.

Especially since she was crying while wiping away her tears every now and then, and continuing to play, dominating ranked matches, it was truly...
How should I put it?

It's really a bit strange.

This scene unconsciously made all her teammates more cautious when interacting with her.

after all
Nobody wants to accidentally touch a nerve with someone who has psychological problems with a single word, and nobody wants to hurt her.

Yuna Shimamura could sense this caution and distance, which made her feel somewhat lonely, but she didn't take it too seriously.

after all
"None of us are bad people."

"Moreover, my main goal is to achieve results, not to become close friends with everyone."

"They didn't isolate me; they were just afraid of hurting me."

And so, Shimamura Yuna continued her training at the CFO Club, feeling somewhat lonely but also fulfilled.

And so the CFO's regular season continues, round after round.
Time passed by unnoticed, and a long time went by.

P.S.: I almost never work 10,000 yuan a day, and I'm almost completely exhausted these past two days.

There will be another update today, but I'll come back later. I need to rest and have a meal first.

Also, this part might be a bit fast, mainly because there's not much to write about LCP.
