Esports world champion, debuted as the center of a talent show

Booth did achieve his goal; his live stream was flooded with tens of thousands of viewers in an instant, the screen was filled with comments, and the popularity soared.

Seeing this, he couldn't stop laughing, even though his live stream camera wasn't on, but he still acted innocent: "Huh? What's wrong with what I said? Why are you all scolding me?"

His tone was full of innocence and doubt, as if he really didn't know why he was being scolded.

But no one bought it, because everyone knew that Booth's usual trick was to stir up trouble and then feign innocence.

Seeing the increasing number of people criticizing him in the chat, he changed the subject and apologized provocatively: "Wow, lots of new friends here! You can follow me; I have ranked matches with viewers every night during prime time! No rank restrictions!"

Seeing this, the insults intensified, and the attacks against him spread from the live stream to the internet.

However, what happened next was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that the battle between the fan circles of "River" and "Jiang Zhiyu" would be easy to start, but he underestimated the attitude of R fans in dealing with these things.

Apart from a small number of irrational fans who affected Jiang Zhiyu, a trainee from "Shining Project", most people only directed their anger at Booth himself.

The chaos on the internet did not affect Jiang Zhiyu, who was still playing ranked matches, but he was now in a slightly awkward situation.

He wasn't stupid; he knew why the other person would bring up this topic in front of him during a live stream. But for a moment, he really didn't know how to respond.

After all, it's a bit scary to suddenly say something as shocking as River = Jiang Zhiyu.

Jiang Zhiyu doesn't intend to keep it a secret from his fans forever, but he hopes to find a quiet afternoon after the show ends to do a live stream and tell his fans what has happened over the past few months.

He didn't want to be forced to reveal his identity to everyone on the show; he wanted to achieve that goal in the most ordinary way possible.

Therefore, he fell into a long silence.

This silence exacerbated the misunderstanding among fans, who thought he had been wronged and felt anxious and distressed, so they offered words of comfort to Yan Zuo in the live chat.

Yan Zuo was also a bit annoyed by the scene, frequently turning his head to look at the comments, muttering, "Brother Yan... tell R Bao to get some rest, we'll wait for him to come back... do you hear me, River?"

Jiang Zhiyu then opened Yan Zuo's live stream. During a break in the game, he glanced at the comments and noticed that they seemed to be escalating the misunderstanding. After thinking for a moment, he said in a low voice, "I understand... I'm fine, don't be angry, it's just a misunderstanding."

[Huh? Is River talking to us? Is he reading the comments??]

【Ahhh, R-God, I love you!!! I miss you so much!!!】

[R God, you dropped one person, one was a golden version of me, and the other was a silver version of me. Which one did you drop?]

[R-Baby, long time no see! We're waiting for you to come back! Get some rest!]

We're not angry. He's just a clown; we have no obligation to take him seriously!

After Jiang Zhiyu responded, the barrage of comments gradually returned to normal, the unstable factors were suppressed, and the live stream was instantly flooded with confessions and blessings.

His reassurance had already calmed many people's anger, but at this time, the derivative variety show materials released by the official account of "Shining Project" were slowly gaining traction.

The official account updated its content at the perfect time, releasing a video of an e-sports variety show recorded on July 9th, featuring the currently popular FPS game "Zeroing Out".

There's nothing wrong with the variety show content itself. After all, given the popularity of "Zeroing Out," it has been a regular feature on various variety shows for a long time.

The official account's comment section and the video's real-time bullet comments were normal at first.

[@ShiningProject: Ding ding ding ding — The trainees' favorite game can only be —]

[You're finally back to life, Old Flash.]

Is this the last piece of material for the legendary mysterious date?

Where can I find someone who watches both "Shining Project" and ZPL? A double fan's dream come true!

Even though I don't understand the game, I'll try my best to understand it for Jiangjiang's sake!

The video begins with the program logo of "Shining Project" and the list of trainees who participated in this episode's recording. Each person's half-body photo and name pop up in turn: Jiang Zhiyu, Wei Shuang, Fu Xingyu, Ai Junmin, Shen Fengyu, Fang Shi, Chen Feng, Wang Zijie, and Liu Pengheng.

Someone counted them over and over and found that there were only nine people, but "Zeroing Out" is clearly a 5v5 game, and the positions of the players clearly show that one person was edited out.

Who got cut? Bian Ziang or Xue Guang?

[I'm guessing it's Xue Guang. I think I heard before that staff were working overtime to edit his related materials, one of which was this e-sports variety show.]

My heart aches for working people.

The video also thoughtfully followed with a brief introduction to the game "Zeroing Out," and included a link to a beginner's guide to "Zeroing Out" in the comments section, accompanied by a photo of Jiang Zhiyu seriously looking through the tutorial.

So far, there haven't been any problems, and everyone is happily discussing the group's variety show content. However, when the pre-match interview was released, the comments section gradually started to turn sour.

The problem arose with a trainee named Wang Zijie. He had already been eliminated, but his pre-competition interview planted a major seed of trouble for the show.

In an interview with staff, he said, "Yes, I'm a long-time fan of R-God. I've been following him since his youth training days, and I always thought he would win the championship... Haha, yeah, actually my friend knows the manager of RXG, and he introduced me to R-God before... What position do I want to play today? Of course, it's the assault position! I want to carry on R-God's legacy!"

Anyone who knows even a little about River knows that he didn't have a youth training period. He was brought to the RXG base by Lin Shi to become a substitute for the first team shortly after his 16th birthday, and soon after, he started playing and began his own dynasty.

Anyone who has played Zeroers knows that the game does not have a so-called assault soldier role, but only a rifleman and main sniper role. River's official identity is the team's main sniper, and he is also the most accurate with a rifle, so he can be considered a true all-rounder.

Wang Zijie's interview was undoubtedly telling everyone that although he claimed to be a River fan, he knew nothing about it.
