Jiang Min invited Cen Yu for duo queue.

After enduring countless hardships, Cen Yu finally got onto Sugar God’s duo queue “car,” feeling like he was about to ascend to heaven right at the OVO base.

Fat Hot Pot looked at his team captain’s strange expression and said puzzledly, “Hey, Captain, what’s going on with you? You lost the game this afternoon, why are you so happy tonight?”

Cen Yu waved his hand excitedly, “You don’t understand, I added Sugar God as a friend and successfully got on his duo queue! Wow! It’s been bothering me since the beginning of the year, and now it’s almost the playoffs, but I finally succeeded!”

Fat Hot Pot, upon hearing this, immediately slid over to Cen Yu’s side on his gaming chair, “What? Captain, you got onto Sugar God’s duo queue? That’s impossible!”

He took a closer look and indeed saw that the ID duo queuing with Cen Yu was “Mid Lane Veteran,” Sugar God’s top-ranked account on the national server.

“What kind of luck are you having, Captain?” Fat Hot Pot couldn’t help but exclaim, “Since Sugar God joined JW, even us ‘fishpond natives’ hardly have the chance to duo queue with him. How did you, a newly joined member of the fishpond, get onto his duo queue so easily? Did you use some despicable means?”

Fat Hot Pot got excited and spoke without restraint.

He completely forgot that the person sitting next to him, duo queuing with Sugar God, was their OVO’s undisputed team leader.

Cen Yu squinted and spoke unkindly, “What are you talking about?”

Fat Hot Pot suddenly realized his mistake, panicked, and waved his hands repeatedly, “No, no, I didn’t say anything. Captain, you’re wise and brave, it’s only natural to be able to duo queue with Sugar God! Haha, hahaha!”

Then, Fat Hot Pot quickly slid back to his own seat.

The game was about to start.

Cen Yu was also livestreaming. With his thick-skinned nature, he had already automatically blocked out any criticism he received after losing a match, pretending not to see it.

So, with nearly 5 million viewers combined in Jiang Min’s and Cen Yu’s livestreams, their duo queue started.

Jiang Min opened the voice chat room.

“Is Jade still in the fourth position?”

Cen Yu nodded frantically, “Yes!”

The barrage in Cen Yu’s livestream was flooding.

【Jade, you got your head blown up in the afternoon, and now you’re happily duo queuing at night?】

【The relationship between WPL players is really good, winning or losing a game doesn’t seem to affect them at all】

【You guys don’t understand, you don’t know that Jade is the OVO team leader, right? Maybe he’s a big hypocrite, using duo queue to mess with Sugar God’s mentality and make JW collapse in the next wave】

【Wucao, the conspiracy theory ahead is interesting!】

Cen Yu still ignored the barrage and said, “Sugar God, can you walk with me this round? I’ll be in position 4 and you in position 3, how about that? It’s more fun to walk together! I got hammered by you guys during the day, so I need some comfort at night~”

Jiang Min thought for a moment, since he was capable of playing position 3, he agreed.

So, Cen Yu and Jiang Min, one in position 4 and the other in position 3, were ready to start the game.

Cen Yu chose his usual hero, the Star Lancer, in position 4, which he also used in the match he lost during the day.

As for Jiang Min, after hesitating for a while, he chose the Turtle Warrior.

Seeing his choice, the barrage couldn’t help but start questioning.

【Sugar God, you almost always choose the Turtle Warrior when playing in position 3, is there any reason for that?】

【I have the same question, there are so many heroes for position 3, why does Sugar God seem to favor the Turtle Warrior?】

While waiting for others to choose their heroes, Jiang Min used his mouse to rotate the displayed Turtle Warrior on the interface.

The Turtle Warrior had a shell covered in spikes on its back and held a trident in its hand.

A typical tank initiator hero for position 3.

Jiang Min casually remarked, “This hero is pretty good, sturdy at the back, and can poke people in front.”

The barrage became restless.

【Hahaha, what kind of talk is this!】

【Brothers, let’s laugh together】

【Sugar God’s livestream hasn’t had any classic quotes for a long time, we’ll take this one】

Jiang Min looked at the densely packed barrage and felt embarrassed.

He wondered why there were so many yellow question marks and “hahaha” all over the screen when he didn’t deliberately say anything funny to entertain the audience.

Cen Yu, who was drinking water, almost sprayed it onto his computer screen when he heard Jiang Min’s words in the voice chat.

After finally swallowing the water, Cen Yu spoke, “Oh my god, I’ve heard that Sugar God’s livestream is interesting, and today I finally got to experience it!”

Jiang Min was speechless.

So, where exactly was his livestream interesting?

Isn’t it just playing ranked games to gain points? Nothing special, right?

The two entered the game.

As the position 3, the Turtle Warrior stood in the front row, exchanging blows and last-hitting with the opponent’s position 1, while the Star Lancer in position 4 harassed the opponents on the side.

The early laning phase seemed relatively stable.

But for some reason, Cen Yu’s positioning suddenly became more aggressive, and he was caught off guard by the opponents, resulting in the Star Lancer, a squishy hero, being taken out in one wave.

Cen Yu looked at the gray screen with some regret and said, “Sorry, Sugar God, that was my mistake.”

Jiang Min comforted him, “It’s okay.”

Next, probably noticing that positions 3 and 4 were Jiang Min and Cen Yu’s IDs, the five opponents began targeting them relentlessly. Soon, both of them died two or three times each.

Jiang Min rarely encountered being targeted during ranked games, as both his teammates and opponents usually played normally.

Today, when duo queuing with Cen Yu, they were unexpectedly targeted.

This made him suspect whether there was something wrong with Cen Yu.

Meanwhile, at the OVO base, Cen Yu scratched the back of his head and sneered.

Of course, he knew the reason.

As the “top sea king” in the league, the ocean of Jade’s stream was quite vast.

He was used to chatting and joking with other players, but since he didn’t bring them onto his stream today, the other players had to show some “jealousy” for the sake of the stream effect.

Indeed, in this game, facing Jiang Min and Cen Yu were five professional players who all had a complicated relationship with Sugar God, and they were all livestreaming.

Facing the “abandonment” of them, the “Ocean King” Sugar God, who got on someone else’s car behind their backs, naturally became the target, and Jiang Min was also targeted along with him.

Jiang Min sighed as he looked at his gray screen once again.

The barrage in the livestream began to comfort him.

【Sugar Sugar, are you okay? It’s so pitiful to have such a poor record in playing in position 3 after so much effort!】

【So why are the five opponents targeting Sugar God and Jade God?】

【Don’t you know that all five opponents are Sugar God’s ‘little darlings’? Since Sugar God ‘cheated’ in front of them, of course, they have to punish him!】

Seeing the barrage worrying about himself, Jiang Min said, “It’s okay, Sugar God probably didn’t feel too good and wasn’t in the right mood after losing the game during the day, so I understand him.”

【Sugar Sugar is so gentle! Love it!】

【Is this the rhythm of a new CP starting to rise?】

【Jade God and Sugar God, the Ocean King and the Master of the Fish Pond, is this CP called the ‘Fish Pond’ CP?】

【Haha, the Fish Pond CP, you really have your ways!】

Jiang Min covered his face with one hand.

…These viewers are really something.

The result of being targeted like crazy was that Cen Yu and Jiang Min naturally lost this ranked game.

Jiang Min was planning to use his main account to gain some points, but at this rate, he might end up plummeting instead.

He was about to tell Cen Yu to switch to another account for today and leave his main account as the top player on the server when he saw Yu Hao walking in with a displeased expression.

“Oh, Yu Team, you’re here?” Jiang Min was live streaming with the camera on, so it wasn’t convenient to call Yu Hao “Little Fish”.

Yu Hao didn’t say anything, just stood next to Jiang Min.

In his eyes, the ID that Jiang Min was duo queuing with was particularly annoying.

“I saw that you weren’t here, so I duo queued with Jade God first. But it seems like we lost some points. I was just thinking of switching accounts to play with him,” Jiang Min explained to Yu Hao, who remained silent.

“Sugar Sugar, come out for a moment,” Yu Hao said expressionlessly.

Before Jiang Min could react, Yu Hao grabbed his wrist and pulled him away.

The viewers in the livestream were puzzled.

【What’s going on? Why does Yu Team seem different from usual and speak so coldly to Sugar Sugar?】

【Damn, where’s our Sugar broadcaster? We don’t want to watch the Chair broadcaster!】

【???】

A series of question marks floated across the screen.

Coach Bai Yin and assistant coach Xiao Nan exchanged glances.

Inside the training room, only the two of them knew very well why Yu Hao had pulled Jiang Min away.

Why else?

It was because Sugar God had happily duo queued with someone else behind Yu Hao’s back.

They shrugged.

No need to say more; they felt that Jiang Min wouldn’t be able to return to the training room for the livestream tonight.

So, Xiao Nan stood up naturally and came to Jiang Min’s seat, ready to help him end the livestream.

【Brother Nan! Long time no see!】

【Brother Nan! Can you tell us where Sugar Sugar went?】

【Brother Nan, could it be that the positions 2 and 4 aren’t getting along? Impossible, right?】

【Some time ago, 2 and 4 seemed to be sweet, is there any internal conflict recently?】

【Brother Nan, as an assistant coach, you must pay attention to the team’s situation!】

Looking at the barrage of comments from the viewers, Xiao Nan realized that these guys seemed to have misunderstood something.

He smiled faintly and said, “There’s no internal conflict in the team, so don’t think too much. Sugar God’s livestream ends here for today. Thanks for your support, good night!”

After saying that, he ended the livestream.

The barrage in the livestream was still flowing.

【So sudden? Could there really be some issues?】

【Oh my god! I just joined JW not even halfway through the season, and there’s already internal conflict in the team?】

【Dead, dead, dead! I thought JW was going to soar this year, how can they take off with positions 2 and 4 not getting along?】

【Brother Nan is being vague, trying to cover things up, I feel like there’s definitely something fishy with positions 2 and 4!】

Thus, without the person involved being aware, rumors about a disagreement between the 2nd and 4th positions of the JW team spread more widely.

Meanwhile, Jiang Min and Yu Hao, as the parties involved, were facing each other on the rooftop garden of JW.

Jiang Min could tell that Yu Hao was not in a good mood, but he wasn’t quite sure what exactly was bothering him.

Had he done something to upset Little Fish?

“Uh… Little Fish, what’s wrong?” Jiang Min decided to ask directly.

Yu Hao stared at Jiang Min, squinting dangerously. “You don’t know why I’m upset, Sugar Sugar?”

Countless possibilities flashed through Jiang Min’s mind, but he thought they didn’t quite fit as the reason for Yu Hao’s displeasure.

He shook his head slightly.

They had just won a match this afternoon. Yu Hao didn’t seem happy; in fact, he seemed a bit sulky. Jiang Min couldn’t quite understand why.

Oh, right! Moreover, this afternoon Yu Hao seemed to have connected with the new beautiful host from WPL, Yun Ning. She should have made him happy. Jiang Min’s thought process was clearly not aligned with Yu Hao’s. After thinking for a long time, he said, “Could it be… did the girl say something to you after you connected with Yun Ning this afternoon?”

Yu Hao was instantly stunned.
