I'm a platinum-level author, so what if I play professionally?

When Wang Ke came out of the office, Song Wen was already standing outside waiting for him with a big smile on his face.

"Bro, you're awesome! You really pulled off that stunt!"

Dejected, Wang Ke draped his arm over Song Wen's shoulder.

"Help me up, buddy, my legs are giving way."

Song Wen's face showed a look of disgust.

"You're already done for after only a few minutes?"

"You don't understand. Do you think everyone has 'Dragon Overlord' written on their forehead like you?" Wang Ke sighed. "Someone like me, a goblin, has to check if the delivery person has left before I open the door to pick up my food. Dealing with people is just too damn tiring."

Song Wen clearly couldn't understand Wang Ke's character, so he asked instead:

"What was the final result?"

"I've secured this opportunity for you to play, so don't let me down."

Wang Ke wasn't worried about Song Wen's abilities; his only concern was that Song Wen might go overboard during the competition.

"Is that what I asked?" Song Wen said with dissatisfaction. "Do I need you to fight for me to get on the field? Isn't that a given? What makes him think he can compete with me? I'm asking if you can even get on the field."

Song Wen's first three rhetorical questions almost made Wang Ke's blood pressure rise.

However, he also knew that Song Wen was not worried about himself, but rather about whether Wang Ke could get a chance to play.

Song Wen and Wang Ke are currently in a situation where it's as if they're both carrying a learning device from Pokémon.

Regardless of who plays, both sides gain experience. But if they play together, it's doubled.

"Don't worry, it's resolved."

Upon hearing Wang Ke's answer, Song Wen excitedly said:

"Who are we going to fight the day after tomorrow?"

Wang Ke's expression was strange: "RNG."

Playing against RNG right from the start is not good news for Wang Ke and Song Wen.

This year, RNG has begun its resurgence after a brief period of decline in S5 and S6.

Last summer, the god who had been wandering abroad returned to his position. Then at the beginning of the year, RNG formed an all-Chinese team around Uzi, consisting of top laner Letme, jungler mlxg, mid laner xiaohu, and bot laner Uzi and Ming.

If we're talking about RNG's true peak, it would definitely be the year of S8. But Wang Ke knows that RNG in 2017 was already a top team in the LPL.

Throughout the year, they won two runner-up titles in the LPL Spring and Summer Splits, the Demacia Cup, and the Rift Rivals. In the finals of the World Championship, they advanced as the top seed in their group, but were eliminated in the semifinals after losing 2-3 to SKT.

It will be very difficult for Snake to defeat RNG now, especially their bottom lane. Zhu Kai and Zuo Wu are unwilling to give up O-Emperor, making it easy for RNG's bottom lane to become a breakthrough point.

To defeat RNG, we need to come up with an unconventional strategy.

However, BO3 is different from BO5; they are not without a chance.

Wang Ke glanced at the time and said:

"Go and inform them that they need to assemble for special training at 2 PM this afternoon. We absolutely must defeat RNG."

After saying that, Wang Ke headed straight for the training room.

His novel has now reached the crucial stage of testing the waters for recommendations.

Although the results haven't improved much yet, the novel's plot has already progressed to the point where the protagonist makes his debut for the Snake team.

Wang Ke originally wanted to arrange for the protagonist to practice against a weak team, but now that he has encountered RNG in reality, he might as well go with the flow.

Chapter 34: Debut!

-----------------

That evening, after finishing a training match, Song Wen started a live stream, something he hadn't done in a long time.

Song Wen hasn't streamed since the S6 World Championship ended.

Because they haven't streamed for so long, they've basically lost all the fans they had previously accumulated.

But to Song Wen's surprise, his popularity remained high as soon as he started broadcasting this time!

Because the live stream room is full of trolls!

[Hey, the CS streamer's still streaming?]

I thought the streamer was already a month old.

[Here we go again, trying to attract attention.]

As Song Wen watched the comments that kept popping up, he felt a little teary-eyed.

It's true that hating someone lasts longer than loving them; haters are always more loyal than fans.

The reason why there are so many haters in Song Wen's live stream is actually quite bizarre.

During the previous World Championship, Song Wen made predictions in his live stream, which attracted a lot of attention.

But in the eyes of some fans, Song Wen's statement was hardly a prediction.

It's clearly a curse!

Why were EDG and RNG eliminated in the quarterfinals? It's clearly a curse from that streamer and that novelist!

In addition, Song Wen had previously offended many fans of the two "elite" clubs by acting as a troll in his live streams to create entertainment value.

The author of that novel chose to disappear after the story was left unfinished, and now that Song Wen has been re-released, he has naturally become the target of public criticism.

Immediately, Song Wen's live stream link began to be frantically posted in the fan groups of EDG and RNG.

Song Wen never expected that after such a long hiatus from broadcasting, he would have such high popularity as soon as he started broadcasting again.

He didn't get angry when faced with the insults from his haters.

After all, to attribute EDG and RNG's elimination in the quarterfinals to his curse, one's brain development is probably not even fully complete; it's already quite pathetic.

So he started interacting with the comments with a grin.

"Host, it's been so long! Did you go to visit your family's graves? The host doesn't have any family, but your family must have graves. The host invites you to go clubbing at your family's gravesite."

"EDG and RGN have both won eight consecutive games in the Spring Split. What's your prediction, streamer? I think RNG can't beat EDG, and EDG can't beat the streamer."

"You're always criticizing RNG. If you're so capable, why don't you go play professionally instead of just trying to ride on RNG's popularity?"

Song Wen laughed even more heartily.

"To be honest, the streamer is already playing professionally. He'll be playing against RNG in a couple of days, so I hope everyone will support him, especially EDG fans. Send him a plane and he'll kill UZI once."

Song Wen's words stunned netizens.

Then came even more intense cyberbullying.

[You dare hit your professional!]

[RNG will play Snake Esports the day after tomorrow, Snake Esports doesn't even have you!]

[Hilarious! One plane kills UZI once? You think you'll even see UZI?]

[Could it be that some EDG player actually sent a virtual airplane to the streamer?]

"Thank you—Factory Manager Zhu Meng—for the two airplanes!"

Song Wen's mouth was harder to control than an AK at this moment.

"Is anyone else going to see someone off at the airport?"

The airplane gift sent by the factory manager, Zhu Meng, clearly angered RNG fans in the live stream.

Soon, fans of EDG and RNG started arguing in the public chat.

When the argument got heated, [Meikou's mother] sent over two more airplanes.

Subsequently, Tong Yang's mother and the junior's mother also sent two airplanes.

Wang Ke, who was watching Song Wen's live stream with the ID "Dream Chaser Factory Manager," was filled with envy.

This kid is practically born with a divine body for live streaming.

They started by saying "RNG can't beat EDG" to sow discord among the haters.

Then, he used the Dream Factory Manager's account to send two more airplanes, and the live stream exploded!

Who would have thought that the two fan groups, who initially united to condemn Song Wen, would get along harmoniously in Song Wen's live stream for less than five minutes before starting another war of words?

Seeing the surge in viewership in the live stream, Wang Ke's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

He seems to have found a path to wealth.

This is the power of fan economy!

Although they are not his fans, they are his economic assets!
