League: Educating LPL is my duty.

On the morning of June 2nd, the EDG team finally disembarked from the plane.

Compared to the lack of attention they received upon landing in Brazil, they were treated much better in China, with quite a few fans greeting them at the airport.

Some media outlets even waited at the airport for interviews, but the EDG team members only exchanged a few words with them. After all, they had been on the plane for so long and were exhausted, so they all wanted to go back and rest as soon as possible.

Back at the base, after taking a shower and a nap, Li Chen got out of bed around 5 p.m., washed up a bit, and sat down at the computer wearing his rabbit pajamas, with his two ears drooping on either side.

He put on the familiar gaming chair and Warhorse two-piece set, and then Li Chen opened Shark Live and anonymously entered his own live stream room.

Although the screen was black and the broadcast wasn't live, the number of viewers in the live stream had already exceeded 700,000, and the constant stream of comments proved that this wasn't fake popularity.

The reason for this popularity, besides Shark's hard work in promoting it these past two days, is mainly because some of Li Chen's fans have come to enjoy the feeling of secretly watching streams when the streamer isn't home.

A significant number of people even use the live stream as a chat campsite when they're bored.

The match ended two or three days ago, where is C? Didn't he say he was coming back?

[You know he's a C-list actor, how can you expect him to start broadcasting on time?]

[He was supposed to start streaming at 6 PM, but he's currently secretly watching the comments.]

[By the way, have you guys prepared your RMB? That unlucky guy is definitely coming to collect his debt soon.]

[Please don't send gifts, don't follow, and don't enter the live stream; just watch from outside. Thank you!]

"Looks like my brothers still care about me."

Li Chen was slightly satisfied, and then logged into his account and opened the live broadcast room.

The streamer you follow has started broadcasting, go check it out!

"Brothers, it's been so long, I've missed you terribly. You should know what I want to say!"

As soon as Li Chen opened his mouth, a barrage of "Holy crap!" comments suddenly appeared in the live stream chat.

[Holy crap, what the hell is that?]

Is this rabbit for real? It looks kind of adorably silly.

[Stupidity is there, but cuteness is nowhere to be seen.]

[Showing off my cosplay to the guys so late at night?]

Li Chen had sharp eyes and full awareness; he could see through even SKT's tactics, let alone these bronze and silver level viewers. He immediately saw through their tricks.

"That's enough, stop rambling!"

Li Chen slammed his fist on the table and roared as he continued, "I've been fighting for MSI for a month, not eating or sleeping well. Now that I've finally won the championship, I've brought so much honor to you guys. How can you not give me some credit?"

I won't even mention those who can't afford weddings, but those of you who go to foot massage parlors every day, don't you feel ashamed? Aren't you embarrassed? You'd rather waste your money on meaningless things than support your dream of becoming a livestreamer?

"What? What's the streamer's dream? It's to drive a Mercedes, drink War Horse liquor, and sit in a gaming chair..."

[What should be said on the movie theater chair? Why did the anchor mute their microphone?]

[What comes next? The host always only says half of what he means.]

[C, if you finish saying that sentence, I'll send you a rocket.]

I only have a little over 500 yuan of my own savings left. I'll give you 100 yuan; the rest I'll use for a foot massage tomorrow.

[They ask for money with such confidence; my eldest son always asks me for money like this (doge)]

Li Chen silently took a sip of his warhorse drink, watching the gift effects float up, but he wasn't quite satisfied.

Before he won the MSI championship, he earned tens of thousands of yuan per live stream. Now that he has won the championship, he still earns the same amount. So, was the championship a waste?

"Brothers, I've been missing you guys a lot while I'm in Brazil. They say homesickness makes you write poetry, so I've written one too. Let me share it with you guys!"

After clearing his throat with two light coughs, Li Chen slowly spoke: "All that imposing presence and murderous aura, all entertainment expenses are to be handed over!"

I can make 95 out of 100 rotations; you know my technique!

Don't waste the remaining five dollars; give me four dollars and eighty cents tomorrow night!

Don't touch the remaining two cents; I'll need them the day after tomorrow!

Before Li Chen could even ask a question, the live chat exploded with comments.

[What?! Wouldn't someone like this have been hung on a streetlight in the past?]

[You want money without even playing a single game? At least update the game first!]

[I hate materialistic streamers the most. I was planning to give my crush a gift tomorrow, and now all my money is gone.]

[C is shameless, that's for sure, so please understand!]

"I won't say more, buddy. Saying the same thing a thousand times is as bland as water. Asking you for gifts is all for your own good. I'll save them for you guys to prevent you from spending them recklessly, understand? Am I spending them recklessly? Of course not!"

While updating the game, Li Chen began his infamous double standards.

However, before the game update was complete, his WeChat rang. He glanced at it briefly and found that it was from the person with the nickname "Iced Coke," and the message was concise: "Duo Queue?"

"Did I really manage to pull it out?"

Li Chen didn't expect Faker to take the initiative to ask him to duo queue. Judging from the time, Faker should have just returned to China not long ago. This was too hasty, making Li Chen feel a little embarrassed.

But jokes aside, Li Chen certainly wouldn't let go of the opportunity to gain attention by duo-queuing with Faker.

"OK guys, we're not going to bully the noobs on the Chinese server today. We're going to stomp on the Korean server. Also, we have a special guest to play with tonight. He's a good friend of the streamer, and his skills are top-notch. Can you guess who it is? There's a reward for guessing correctly."

After Li Chen said that, the curiosity of the viewers in the live chat was immediately piqued, and they all began to speculate about who the duo was.

Does C still have any good friends among professional players?

[It's probably just those few in the team, but he said their skills are top-notch, so the factory manager can rule them out first.]

[Factory Manager: Is Little Blackie showing his chicken feet?]

[Could it be Xiaogou? I saw a rumor that Xiaogou wants to build AD for C.]

This is too far-fetched; I think it might be Huni.

A single comment about being a "good buddy" with the streamer completely swayed the audience's thinking. Li Chen glanced at the comments for a long time, but no one seemed to be thinking about Faker at all.

Of course, those who post a long string of IDs at once don't count!

The internet speed at the EDG base was pretty good, and the game updated quickly. Li Chen quickly opened the game, logged into his account, and then sent a message to Faker on WeChat to add him as a game friend.

Far away at SKT's base in the LCK, Faker was watching Li Chen's live stream and even hired a translator.

When he sent the game friend request, the viewers in Li Chen's live stream were completely stunned.

[Holy crap, isn't that Faker's ID?]

[Dude, when did you become best friends with Faker?]

[They just swept the opponent in the finals, and then immediately started duo-queuing with them. Is this some kind of psychological attack?]

Is it possible that it's just a coincidence of names, and C is playing a prank on us?
