Chapter 13 World-Class Social Scene
Haotian stared at the message in the chat box: "The moment the mouse calls me, I will manifest in aerospace and end the era of escort missions."
The ice-cold cola I had just drunk sprayed all over the keyboard.
The assistant who handed over the tissues was stunned.
He stared at the screen for a full half minute, his fingertips hovering over the input box, unable to type a single word.
In the end, he could only resign himself to his fate and send a string of ellipses, followed by the sentence: "Whatever makes you happy."
His viewers were completely bewildered.
Haotian was just boasting that he'd brought in a formidable player to the Sea Urchin Cup, making it incredibly prestigious, but now he's turned green with envy?
The screen was filled with question marks scrolling by very quickly.
Haotian wiped the Coke off the keyboard, coughed awkwardly, and waved his hand.
"It's alright, it's alright. You'll see when the competition starts. He's definitely a ruthless guy."
Without explaining further to the audience, he quickly added Li Bing to the registration list.
......
Li Bing minimized the chat window with Haotian and switched back to the game's special operations interface.
Haji Yao's mischievous voice drifted out from the earphones.
"Who were you secretly chatting with for so long? You didn't even type anymore. Was it some fan asking for your contact information?"
Li Bing's tone was very indifferent.
"It's nothing, a friend asked if I wanted to participate in a competition."
"Oh?" Haji Yao perked up instantly, raising her voice by half a notch.
"Could it be that Haotian is trying to get you to play the Sea Urchin Cup? I knew he was up to no good when he was hanging up on your stream for so long."
"By the way, with your current terrible sense of direction, you're still participating in a competition?"
"Or are you saying you're going back to the competition? Have you let go of the past?"
"Is it for the bonus?"
Her words were half-joking and half-teasing. The viewers in the live stream were still replaying the famous scene of feeding the mouse earlier, and the screen was full of them.
"Brother Qingchun is the god of the mice." "From now on, it will be effective for the space mice to call Brother Qingchun's name."
Upon hearing about the Sea Urchin Cup and returning to competition, he felt relieved and instantly exploded with joy.
The screen was filled with question marks, almost completely blocking out the entire screen.
"What do you mean, 'let go'? What competition? I've never heard of it!"
"Ice Bro's going to play in a competition? Really? He's only been streaming for a day! No, he's only been streaming for an hour!"
"Sister Yao, you only tell us half of what you're saying! What kind of competition could possibly pique the interest of our directionally challenged God of War? It's not some top-tier official tournament, is it?"
Li Bing held the mouse without moving, and retorted in a serious tone.
"I just think the rules of this competition are reasonable, and it's a good opportunity to test my skills during this period. It has nothing to do with money."
He said this without batting an eye, just as a comment popped up on the screen.
"Brother Qingchun has such a grand vision! He truly is a god."
Haji Yao burst out laughing, drawing out her words to expose his bluff.
"Oh? Really? I wonder who it was that agreed faster than anyone else when I offered 200 yuan for escort? They couldn't even keep up their god-like airs anymore?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the chat room erupted in laughter.
The emotion I felt just moments ago shattered instantly, and the screen was filled with laughter as gifts rained down.
"I've never seen a god who can be bought off for 200 yuan before!"
God: I'm not greedy for money, I just think 200 yuan is just enough to buy three steamers of buns.
"The whole situation suddenly shattered, hahaha!"
"Brother Qingchun, Yao Jie has seen through all your little schemes! Stop pretending!"
Some people even gifted 200 yuan worth of gifts, with the caption "Buying steamed buns for God."
Li Bing pretended not to hear, coughed, and said, "I'm ending the broadcast now. I'll broadcast again tomorrow."
Without waiting for Hajiyao's reaction, he immediately clicked to exit the live stream.
He didn't even look at the constant stream of private message notifications in the background, and simply shut down the live streaming app completely.
Haji Yao's furious shouts could still be heard in the headphones; he had forgotten to leave the team.
"You deadbeat straight man! I haven't finished speaking yet! Feed? Feed?"
Li Bing casually quit the game, took off his headset and threw it on the table, then lay down on the bed, exhausted.
The curtains in the rented room were half drawn, and sunlight slanted in.
He was somewhat surprised by how well his first live stream went.
Just as Li Bing was about to pick up the breakfast the girl had left behind that morning—soy milk and steamed buns—there was a sudden knock on the door.
He went to open the door, and standing outside was Su Ningning.
The little girl had her hair tied in a high ponytail, and the sleeves of her school uniform were rolled up to her elbows.
A crooked little bear keychain hung from the pink backpack on her back.
Her face was flushed from running, and she was carrying a stainless steel thermos. She then noticed the soy milk and steamed buns on the table.
"You're so lazy, you definitely didn't buy it, did your older sister come this morning?"
Seeing that Li Bing didn't speak, Su Ningning, who was already used to it, continued.
"Zhang Ma asked me to bring you braised pork. It's fresh out of the pot and will be delicious with steamed buns."
She was the youngest girl at the Sunshine Orphanage, always following Li Bing around since she was little, with a lively and mischievous personality like a little monkey.
Once inside, he familiarly placed the thermos on the table, tossed his backpack onto the chair next to him, and glanced at the computer.
The computer screen was still lit, and Su Ningning's eyes lit up instantly.
I thought Li Bing would never turn on his computer again.
I never expected that turning on my computer today would help me overcome my inner turmoil!
She sat down on the chair opposite her, swung her legs, and said.
"Bro, I've got something really funny to tell you! Today after school I sneaked over to that internet cafe at the alley entrance and played Delta Force for an hour, and guess what? I ran into a total bastard at the dam evacuation point!"
Li Bing had just put a piece of braised pork in his mouth when he heard this, and casually asked, "What did you find?"
"It's more profitable than gold bars!" Su Ningning laughed so hard she almost fell over, her whole body shaking as she lay on the table.
"Five sets! Fully equipped M14s and AWs! Carrying a load of 480 million worth of gear! I just crouched in the grass and took him out with one burst! His ID was something like 'Youthful Explosion,' and he got ambushed by a newbie like me who'd only been playing for half a month. Isn't that hilarious? He probably turned green with envy!"
puff!
Li Bing had just swallowed a mouthful of braised pork when he choked and coughed for a long time, his face turning red. He almost dropped his chopsticks on the table, and tears welled up in his eyes from coughing.
Su Ningning thought he had choked on a piece of meat, so she quickly handed him a bottle of mineral water and laughed even harder.
"Isn't it hilarious!"
Li Bing took the water and drank a couple of sips, then felt a bit dazed after a while.
The image of being ambushed at the dam evacuation point flashed through my mind instantly.
At that time, he had just wiped out a full squad and was carrying 480 million worth of goods towards the evacuation point. He even boasted in the live broadcast room that "no one can stop the return of the gods."
As soon as he stepped into the grass at the evacuation point, he was shot down by someone squatting there and instantly eliminated.
The viewers in the live stream laughed at him for almost half an hour. After all that fuss, it turned out that the person who tricked him was the little girl he had watched grow up.
What kind of world-class social death scene is this?
If Su Ningning finds out that the one she schemed against was herself, she'll probably tell all the children at the orphanage about it every time she goes there.
Where does he put his face as the older brother?
Li Bing cleared his throat, tried his best to keep a straight face, and nodded seriously.
"Yes, you squatted very well, excellent! The timing was perfect, and the retreat route was well planned. Good awareness."
