We promised to win the championship together, so why did you all retire?

Arctic Brawl.

A favorite among casual gamers, and also a favorite of TheShy.

No need for development, no need for laning.

Go ahead and get to work.

Since it wasn't time yet, TheShy decided to play a game with Bai Liang.

Bai Liang didn't waste any time.

Want to start a game?

Open it then!

TheShy frowned as soon as the hero appeared.

"Aigoo..."

"How do you play this, oh?"

The hero he was given was the Yeti Knight, who wasn't very good at it.

The heroes that others don't want are just a bunch of rotten meat.

TheShy now is a purebred, competitive-level fan of the "DouDou" (a type of weird, exaggerated, and sometimes exaggerated style) game.

He always seems to want to use long-range weapons in every match.

You want him to play tanky characters in ARAM?

Makes no sense.

So TheShy frowned as soon as the hero was released.

Who plays a front-line character in ARAM? It's a bit of a labor-intensive game.

He glanced to the side and his eyes lit up:

"Hey guys, wanna switch?"

Bai Liang is playing Ryze this game.

This hero can easily carry in Brawl mode.

Bai Liang laughed and immediately rejected TheShy's request, saying, "I won't switch."

Theshy: ?

You're not going to change the one who's laughing at you!

"Don't worry, we have a combo."

Bai Liang comforted TheShy, saying, "Ryze and Nunu, don't you think that's classic?"

TheShy, quick-witted, immediately smiled.

"Okay."

He already knew what Bai Liang was talking about.

Ten minutes later, RG's official live stream started.

As soon as TheShy's fans entered the live stream, they were greeted by a blacked-out webcam and a scene from ARAM (All Random All Mid) gameplay.

Before they could even react, they could already hear two people talking.

"Are you ready?"

This is a somewhat unfamiliar voice.

It wasn't unpleasant to listen to; it had that slightly immature, youthful voice.

"I'm ready, are you about to unleash your ultimate move?"

This is quite obvious.

Typical phrases for ordering food.

The person who spoke first continued:

"Okay, step back a bit so they can't see you."

TheShy's voice had a somewhat furtive tone:

"Is this place okay?"

"Yes, right here, get ready!"

"I'm getting ready!"

"Three, two, one!"

on the screen.

As Ryze's ultimate ability, Warp Throw, finished channeling and the pale blue teleportation array activated, the fully charged Yeti's ultimate exploded the instant it landed.

Combined with TheShy's extremely aggressive Night Reaper build, he almost instantly evaporated the three enemy backline members.

"Holy crap—!"

TheShy almost instinctively uttered a phrase from the classic Chinese novel, then excitedly controlled the Yeti to activate its E skill, coordinating with Bai Liang's Ryze to hold down the two frontliners not far away, and then used a W to push and kill the squishier one.

A quadra kill!

"PentaPentaPenta——!"

TheShy was extremely anxious.

The dialog box opened quickly, and the user skillfully typed three letters in full view mode.

[Everyone] qwerasdf987 (Snowman Knight): die

The remaining one on the other side was quite considerate; he simply stood still.

Bai Liang had no intention of robbing it.

It's just a pentakill; if he wants it, let him have it.

As a result, his own Draven's axe flew out while he was typing.

TheShy got impatient again, causing the damage from both of them to overlap. Since he was closer, his damage was dealt first.

That just helped Draven cover the last bit of the deficit.

Draven got the kill.

"Ouch!!!"

Theshy immediately let out a sound of frustration.

"My Penta!!"

Bai Liang chuckled, "I gave you a chance, but you were useless."

He saw it clearly; Draven really didn't do it on purpose.

There's no way to blame anyone else, no matter how hard you try.

The [...] that Draven posted in the dialog box also illustrates this point.

TheShy was extremely upset and kept scratching his head.

"Aigoo..."

Fans who had just entered the live stream were surprised to find a show to watch right away.

【Hahahahahaha】

[Don't cry, Shy, we'll win the game!]

Is this some kind of free-for-all? Ahhhh, I want to play with Shy too!

Why isn't the camera on? Who's playing with Shy?

[The voice sounds a little unfamiliar, but it's very pleasant to listen to.]

[RG's new teammate?]

Bai Liang glanced at the chat and cleared his throat after confirming that the live stream was working properly.

"Hello, welcome, welcome."

"Today's live stream is simple, just playing games with TheShy."

"Yes, I'm one of TheShy's teammates. Feel free to ask me anything."

"Camera? Turn it on right away."

"Let everyone see the environment of our base."

As he spoke, the staff member turned on the camera.

The moment the camera was mentioned, the swarming fans immediately perked up.

—This is the real show today.

RG is a very mysterious club.

Before TheShy was officially announced, he was virtually unknown online.

Yet this unknown club managed to outcompete established clubs during the transfer window and land TheShy, a big fish.

This completely surprised countless fans who had speculated about TheShy's whereabouts.

Many people have a question in their minds:

What gives it that right?

As the camera turned on, Bai Liang, whose profile was the only visible part of his face, pointed behind him.

"Well, this is pretty much what the training room looks like."

The RG training room in the footage looks extremely spacious, and a beverage and snack area can be seen not far behind the two of them.

The device has a very good resolution, and the interior design is a popular minimalist style.

This reassured many fans.

But when Bai Liang glanced at the comments again, he was a little confused.

[Host, don't back away! Quick, let me see!]

This club is nice, the guys are pretty fair-skinned and handsome, but it feels a bit small.

Who dragged my husband into a live stream?

[Being a pro is great, being a pro means you have to play!]

[Hey streamer, what's your name? Stop introducing the training room and introduce yourself!]

[Everyone keep your underwear dry, that's an order!]

Bai Liang: ?

Not a girl.

I'm showing you the training room environment. What are you all looking at?

Bai Liang never expected that the live streaming environment three years later would be so... wild.

Wild, stunning Asia!

Do people not wear pants when they go online these days?

A bunch of female hooligans!

He had never seen it before, but he was deeply shocked.

After searching for ages, he finally found someone who could reply, and his face turned red.

Some of the comments are really...

Fans dared to post Bai Liang's content, but he didn't dare to look at it.

He was, after all, still a pure and innocent seventeen-year-old boy, and apart from talking about traditional Chinese culture, he had never seen anyone so fierce and ruthless.

"Um... my name is Bai Liang, that's not important. Aren't you guys TheShy fans? Could you please pay more attention to TheShy?"

However, what Bai Liang didn't know was...

In 2021, when everyone seems to be a seasoned driver, his blushing actually piqued the interest of his female fans.

It was just a casual remark, but now that I see it—

Oh dear, is this guy getting shy?

Then they started teasing her even more.

[A polite question, is this still Brother Bai?]

Bai Liang was taken aback: "Or what?"

[Don't make me laugh, Brother Bai. With this kind of modeling, how could it still be like that?]

Bai Liang was even more confused. "How does this have to do with modeling again?"

[Bai Ge, is he a good guy?]

[Give 10, not 0]

Where is the zero?

Bai Liang: ……

He roughly knew what these people were talking about.

Then his face turned even redder.

no--

What are these guys even talking about?!
