Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room
Book 1: The Storm is Coming
Chapter 25
“Me?” She laughed and shook her head.
“You still have the skill.” Solo smiled. “The fifth member should be you actually, if not for the fact that esports doesn’t allow coed teams.” He threw the cigarette into the ashtray afterwards and patted her back with his palm lightly. “Let’s go. Don’t forget. Tonight you still have the live stream.”
It was Saturday.
It was the day of SP’s live stream after the training session.
Solo came up with the idea for a “Live Stream Day” to let fans watch live broadcasts of their games in realtime. Especially for the lucky few who got a chance to play a game with their idols. It was a festival for many esports fans.
Tonight’s stream would start at 10:30 PM.
Game: Secret Room Storm. Streaming Hosts: Apple Dog & Following.
Ai Qing and Following randomly cleaned up the desk which was littered with snacks and sat down across from each other. They turned on their computers and entered the game room. There were already people desperately posting ads in the comments:
“Game leveling for Secret Room Storm. Superman Workshop battles for you. Covert game master is ready to play. Brand new season. Brand new levels. Plug in wings and let’s fly away together! Mom doesn’t have to worry any more that I’m cheated and abused by low level players……”
“Dammit Superman Workshop. How come wherever I post an ad, you always post here too.”
“Because I love you~”
……
Ai Qing broke out into laughter when she saw the conversation.
She was surprised when she saw the number of viewers in the room at the right lower corner of her screen
“Oh my gosh.” Following’s headsets were hanging on his neck. He was shocked by the number of viewers too. “Why’s there so many viewers.”
She used her right index finger to signal him to be quiet. She put on her headset and began the stream.
“Good evening, everyone, I am SP’s Apple Dog. My partner for tonight is Following. Everybody should be very familiar with my partner. He is SP-NaNa team’s famous Mid player, the famous strategist and creep score maniac in the DotA circle. He just passed the assessment to become a member of the SP A team of Secret Room Storm half an hour ago.”
“You flatter me. You flatter me. I’m not that great.” Following chuckled.
They randomly chatted for a bit.
From the comments in the chat room, they quickly learned the reason why there were so many viewers tonight. It was because Solo had just posted the list of SP’s A team for Secret Room Storm on Weibo just half an hour before the stream.
The last member on the list was really Following.
And at the end of the list it read: Manager: Apple Dog. Coach: Solo.
