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

The group rankings for the first round of the "Shining Project" competition were quickly announced, with the total number of votes for each group listed on the big screen.

The top line clearly reads:

[1——"The Unopened Letter" Group A 359 votes]

"what!"

Lu Shanshan couldn't help but let out a soft gasp, suppressing the urge to jump up on the spot. She quickly typed on her phone to share her ecstatic joy with Tan Yi.

As they were chatting, she suddenly noticed that the young man next to her was getting up to leave.

Out of politeness to her fellow fan, she asked softly, "Are you leaving?"

The young man nodded to her: "Okay, I'll be going now."

"Oh, right," he paused in his steps, raised his hand to adjust his glasses, "thank you for your support."

"You're welcome..." Lu Shanshan watched him leave blankly, not quite understanding the meaning of his words for a moment, but she quickly put it out of her mind and continued to excitedly flood various fan groups with messages.

The members of "Unbelievable A" had tears welling up in their eyes, as the pressure they had been under for days was finally released at the moment the rankings were finalized.

On stage, Yu Lan was also visibly moved: "Group A of 'The Unopened Letter' rose from the ashes in dire straits, creating a miracle in just seventy-two hours. Let's congratulate them again—Jiang Zhiyu, Yu Wen, Yao Wei, Shen Fengyu, Liang Fang, Chen Tianyu, and Yan Yuze!"

She gave the audience ample time to cheer and applaud, until the heat in the arena gradually subsided, before delivering a harsh blow to the trainees: "The first round of eliminations will take place the day after tomorrow, with 36 trainees being eliminated. Tomorrow will be the last day for some trainees in the camp, so enjoy your time!"

#The rankings for the first public performance are out! Are they within everyone's expectations?#

[1L: To be honest, I really didn't expect "Unbelievable A" to take first place before tonight. Their performance was such a pleasant surprise.]

—Reply: [Same here. At first, I really thought the two groups that suddenly ran out of members were doomed, but I didn't expect the "Never Say Goodbye" group to be so good overall, while the "Unbelievable" group was simply phenomenal.]

—Reply: [As a Jiang Zhiyu fan, I was secretly relieved at first that Jiang Zhiyu was popular and wouldn't be eliminated because of one bad performance... I almost burst into tears at the end.]

[2L: The group of Mi Lan and Wang Yan was also very exciting, a clash of titans.]

—Reply: [After watching last night's stage performance, the gossip that the gossipmonger dropped yesterday came back to mind, and my feelings are complicated.]

—Reply: [What kind of melon?]

—Reply: [A source has revealed that all the previous rumors about Mi Lan were false. The most outrageous part is that these rumors originated from within their company, Feixing Entertainment.]

—Reply: [Huh? But isn't Mi Lan the Crown Prince of Fei Xing? Can she just let people spread rumors like that?]

—Reply: [Milan's longtime fan says Feixing is just a makeshift operation, and finally someone has spoken up for him... He's not like the rumors at all; he's a very nice person...]

……

[14L: Jiang Zhiyu's makeup and styling were absolutely stunning; even non-fans are drooling over it.]

[15L: A man who could easily gain fans just by his looks, yet he's also incredibly hardworking and capable; it's hard not to become a fan immediately.]

[16L: My roommate, a typical anime/manga fan, became a fan of Jiang Zhiyu after watching his first performance. Now she's glued to her phone, seriously trying to control the comments section for him.]

—Reply: [Ahhh, my friend did too! She didn't understand why I was doing another male talent show, but after I dragged her to watch the first performance, she joined me!]

—Reply: [It's a pity there's so little material. Hong Liu said he recorded a lot of material, but so far none of it has been released! I'm so angry!]

……

[56L: I'd like to interview Jiang Zhiyu's fans about their feelings right now. First, they saw the live stream camera capturing a sea of ​​blue light sticks, and then they saw that Jiang Zhiyu's makeup and styling also featured the support color. It's been a long time since I've seen such a mutual support between idol and fans.]

—Reply: [I'm already lying in bed reminiscing about the dreamlike experience of watching Jiang Zhiyu perform live; I almost twisted into a maggot.]

—Reply: [He's genuinely sincere; you can tell he's trying hard to reciprocate his fans' love.]

—Reply: [Jiang Jiang is far superior to those other hateful fans I used to follow. I haven't felt this kind of mutual happiness in a very, very long time 555]

……

"Wow, Jiang Jiang, how come you're so good at Snake?" Lin Sen leaned closer and noticed a long snake taking up the entire screen on Jiang Zhiyu's phone.

"Not bad." Jiang Zhiyu didn't look up, but quickly slid the control panel and turned the snake just as its head was about to hit the wall.

The day after the first public performance ended, while the other trainees were enjoying a short break, Jiang Zhiyu, Lin Sen, Wei Shuang, and Yao Wei were sitting in a low-key black van, heading to the venue for the opening day of the new ZPL league season.

Yao Weizheng was fiddling with his GoPro with his head down, occasionally raising it to film the scenery along the way and the people in the car. Hearing the conversation between the two, he also leaned closer.

He exclaimed in surprise, "What an amazing record! Brother Jiang, how come you're so good at everything you do!"

Lin Sen looked up upon hearing this: "What other amazing games does he play? Is it online? Let's play together after the show ends!"

Yao Wei suddenly choked up, stammering and unable to say anything coherent. Wei Shuang leaned back in her car seat, closed her eyes to rest, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

Lin Sen, who hadn't received a reply for a long time, looked at me with a puzzled expression: ? What do you mean? Are you having a secret from me?

Jiang Zhiyu, who was engrossed in his battle with the giant snake, was unable to help Yao Wei out of his predicament. It was the staff member sitting in the passenger seat who kept glancing at the rearview mirror who saved him.

The staff couldn't help but remind him, "We're almost there, remember to be careful with your words and actions. Today is the opening day of the match between RXG and NOG, it's generating a lot of buzz."

"Okay, got it." Jiang Zhiyu looked up with satisfaction after successfully breaking his personal record and responded.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, they did not disclose their travel plans for this event. Their business vehicle was parked in the underground parking garage of the venue. They wore masks and entered the venue through the garage entrance, intending to remove them once the game started.

Yao Wei looked at "Mask Jiang," whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and hesitated, saying: "I feel like Brother Jiang is safer without a mask."

As Jiang Zhiyu passed by the car window, he glanced at the reflection on the glasses and realized something was amiss. He hesitated for a moment, then pulled his mask down and piled it on his chin.

As you take the elevator up from the parking garage, you can already faintly hear the noise coming from inside the venue.

After exiting the elevator, you have to walk through a corridor to reach the entrance to the VIP viewing area.

By this time, there were already many spectators coming and going in the corridor, and there were also many fan booths along the wall where fans could pick up materials, most of which were printed with the RXG logo.

A girl was running towards the audience while muttering "Oh no, I'm going to be late." As she passed a few people, she accidentally stepped on a tablecloth hanging on the ground and was about to slip and fall.

Jiang Zhiyu instinctively reached out to support her, then bent down to pick up the girl's phone from the ground and handed it back to her, saying, "Be careful."

"Thank you, thank you!" Lu Shanshan didn't look up, rubbed her knees, thanked them repeatedly, and then hurriedly walked towards the audience seats.

She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped and froze on the spot.

etc--

Wasn't that Jiang Zhiyu who just helped her up?

Lu Shanshan turned around abruptly, but the pedestrians had already disappeared.
