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

The new video arrived as scheduled at nine o'clock the next morning.

The video opens with the words "Shining Dormitory Life" in large, flashy letters.

The video is quite long, lasting a full half hour, and covers footage from the first day of camp when students chose their dormitories to the end of the second competition.

The video begins with a silhouette walking down a corridor, wearing a familiar shirt.

【Here it comes!】

Jiang Zhiyu!

[The "traffic code" has been used as the beginning of this phrase ever since, lol]

[Wait, looking at it this way, it's obviously River herself. Why couldn't I tell before?]

Is this the end of the initial stage performance?

The video followed Jiang Zhiyu to the entrance of dormitory 310, recording the entire process of Mi Lan opening the door to help him with his luggage, the first meeting of the three in dormitory 310, and Jiang Zhiyu reminding them to write daily journal entries.

310... my best 310...

[Hong Liu: I don't believe anyone is so idle as to read the entire set of rules. Jiang Zhiyu: Sorry, I'm just naturally inclined to read.]

Please remember how these three are currently behaving somewhat shyly and politely keeping their distance from each other. Two days later, Lin and Mi will be giving Jiang a hard time.

The next segment features scenes from other dormitories, which are brief and have been significantly edited.

The timeline moves forward to the night of the day the four were notified to participate in the ZPL league opening ceremony.

When Wei Shuang received the notification from the production team, she didn't seem surprised. She simply asked, "Will Jiang Zhiyu be going too?"

This time, it was the staff member who was a little surprised: "How did you know?"

Kui Shuang chuckled: "Vinegar and dumplings."

Staff: ?

Yao Wei was overjoyed, jumping up and down while hugging the staff member who came to inform him, shouting, "I love you all! This is my first time watching a game in person! I've never been able to get tickets before!!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Zhiyu and Lin Sen on the other side are now looking much more interesting.

【Hey bro, are you serious? You're showing Jiang Zhiyu a super easy tutorial?】

[If it were before, I would have said, "How cute! Why does it need a simple tutorial?" But now I would just say, "Leave the tutorials alone! Why let it teach a world champion? It hasn't offended anyone!"]

[I can't take it anymore, why is Jiang Zhiyu watching this so seriously!]

[Haven't played for over a month? I did the math, and it really is. It's been almost a month from the end of the championship to the day of this recording.]

[Whoever sees Lin Sen say he wants to protect Jiang Zhiyu and can hold his nerve, I will crown him King of Tension.]

[This is hilarious! Isn't Lin Sen a River fan? I'm so curious about his thought process when he later realized Jiang Zhiyu = River and recalled that scene.]

[It's hard to tell whether it's funny that the world champion is seriously watching a foolproof tutorial or that Lin Sen is deciding to protect his world champion best friend.]

The vlogs that the players filmed themselves on the opening day were also included in this video.

The video clearly records Lin Sen's lament over RXG's loss and Jiang Zhiyu's solemn face.

[Oh no, I just remembered, RXG lost big in front of Jiang Zhiyu.]

I initially thought this guy from the talent show seemed pretty knowledgeable about the game, but it turns out he knows way more than I do. I'm a clown too!

[I was just wondering why I was watching the game so seriously, but then I remembered the crushing defeat that day and it all made me feel better!]

[My brother Jiang is on vacation and still has to face this ugly competition head-on. He didn't do anything to you!]

In addition, the production team even released a video of Yu Jin and Jiang Zhiyu discussing and deciding on the song title "I am both inside and out". The upper right corner of the video showed "The trainee's consent has been obtained", showing their strong desire to survive.

Jiang Zhiyu and Yu Jin were also surprised when they first heard that there was a hidden camera there, after all, it was just a very secluded little corner.

At that time, a staff member mysteriously whispered, "Actually, there are many hidden cameras in the base!"

Jiang Zhiyu only told them to ask Yu Jin for his opinion, since it involved Yu Jin's privacy.

Yu Jin thought for a moment and hoped that the production team would cut out what he said and only show the final part of their conversation.

As a result, only Jiang Zhiyu's "talk therapy" segment was ultimately released.

[It looks like Jiang Zhiyu is comforting Yu Jin? He's so good with words...]

I watched with a satisfied smile; the substance and quality of their arguments continued to rise.

[So this is where Yu Jin's pre-match interview came from?]

Now I understand why everyone's been surrounding Jiang Zhiyu; his charm isn't just about his looks!

So Qi Sixian was also "talked to" by Jiang Jiang? I really want to know how it was done... Could you heal me too... Tears are streaming down my face.

Jiang Zhiyu appeared in half of the entire video, making his favoritism obvious.

This also gave Jiang Zhiyu's fans a real treat.

This is like a good medicine, healing the fans who have been tormented and wounded during this period.

After all, there's no way to offer any reassurance compared to the idol himself.

Jiang Zhiyu later posted a message himself, using the account @ShiningProject-JiangZhiyu.

[@Shining Project - Jiang Zhiyu:]

I'm sorry to have worried everyone, I'm fine.

The accompanying picture shows a hand with clearly defined knuckles making a V-sign, with a practice room in the background.

This account gained 8000 million followers after Jiang Zhiyu's identity was exposed. Although it is far less than River's account with hundreds of millions of followers, 8000 million active followers is still an astonishing number across the entire internet.

The post's popularity surpassed ten million in just ten minutes and surged with an unstoppable upward trend, causing the app's daily active users to break new records.

The "Shining Project," originally a talent show for a small circle of people, has officially broken out of its niche and secured the top spot in viewership worldwide with its soaring popularity.

No one can resist watching esports superstar River perform a dance routine, with his stunningly beautiful face that's like an "AKA god."

The name Jiang Zhiyu has become the symbol of this summer.

Practice time flew by, and before we knew it, it was time for the official performance on stage.

For this performance, the production team selected a large venue that can accommodate 1600 people after careful consideration.

But as always, the performance tickets sold out in seconds.

Although the number of available seats has doubled this time, the difficulty of getting tickets has increased exponentially.

Fortunately, Tan Yi is experienced in grabbing ZPL tickets. She managed to snag tickets for both herself and Lu Shanshan for this third public performance.

"quick!"

Tan Yi urged Lu Shanshan, who was dawdling behind them, to hurry up.

Lu Shanshan said with a pained expression, "No, slow down, my bag is too heavy."

"Put it down, I'll help you."

Outside the performance venue, scenes of audience members rushing to leave with their support items can be seen everywhere.

But this time, Jiang Zhiyu no longer had the most support items.

Fan signs with River's name and close-up photos of people wearing masks are everywhere, but when they make merchandise to support the brand, they all change the color to lake blue.
