PCLP promotion and relegation tournament, live broadcast.

A new face who had never appeared at a competition before took the stage with his teammates. His stunning features immediately made him the focus of every camera in the venue.

Amid all the attention, the young man and his teammates walked all the way to the far corner of the competition area and calmly took their seats at GFG's station.

The viewers in the livestream: GFG???

Wait! The down-and-out GFG, the team whose players all left last year, whose entire roster, even the driver, was poached, leaving behind only a rookie manager who'd just entered the industry?

Despite everyone doubting them, the young man, whom most viewers had dismissed as a pretty face brought in to attract fans, led his team to dominate the competition.

After the tournament, GFG returned to the PCL after placing first in the promotion and relegation tournament. Cheng Shu, the team's captain and in-game leader, gave an interview.

The moment the young man spoke, all the viewers who'd tuned in just to admire his face cried out that his voice was pure ear candy.

Soon, a crowd of pitiful viewers, as if they'd finally tracked down a scumbag after searching in vain, flooded the livestream chat with messages.

[Who's this handsome guy? Why does he sound just like the streamer who ran off from my channel?]

[Sheyu, is that you? You can compete, so why don't you dare come back and stream?!!]

[Sheyu, you scumbag! Didn't you say you were using fake photos? Why are you so handsome, and why were you using someone else's pictures!?]

After that day, word spread through the PUBG pro scene:

A newcomer had appeared out of nowhere at the promotion and relegation tournament. He had nothing but a pretty face, but he played dirty.

Not only did he mow down his enemies on the battlefield, he also used his good looks to assault the audience through the camera!

A few months after joining the team,

Cheng Shu finished a late-night scrim,

and was stunned to see the face his teammate had used as a fake photo on his streamer profile!

Even more astonishing:

1. This guy was his boss!

2. This guy might be his online dating partner!

The man cornered him against a wall. "You used a fake photo when you were dating online?"

Cheng Shu: "..."

*The recipient using the aggressor's photo was purely a coincidence. It will be explained.

*The game is PUBG (PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds).

Xu Cixing had been hopelessly in love with Cen Ren for years, but had never received a response.

In a fit of anger, he threatened him:

"You'll never get away from me in this life. The only way I'll let you go is if I become a ghost!"

Perhaps even the heavens couldn't bear to watch. Xu Cixing met with an accident and really did become a ghost.

The real ghost, Xu Cixing, was finally at peace. So this was the heavens' way of telling him it was time to let himself, and Cen Ren, go!

But what Xu Cixing hadn't expected was that after he became a ghost, Cen Ren suddenly traveled thousands of miles to seek out some legendary master who could bring the dead back to life.

Worse, Cen Ren knelt before the master and begged him to keep Xu Cixing, now a ghost, bound to his side forever, until Cen Ren himself died in this world!

Xu Cixing: ???

Even more terrifying, the mysterious master listened to Cen Ren's deranged words, then clapped his hands and laughed, happily agreeing to his request!

Xu Cixing: What on earth is wrong with this world!!!

From then on, Xu Cixing became a little game character in Cen Ren's phone by day, getting poked and prodded by Cen Ren, and at night Cen Ren dragged him out and pinned him to the big bed he'd once dreamed of, doing all sorts of things to him!

Xu Cixing soon discovered, to his dismay, that ghosts could get worn out too!

At last, he realized the true face Cen Ren had been hiding all along, and began to regret the curse he'd uttered before he died: "Even as a ghost, I won't let you go."

Xu Cixing: Cen Ren is even scarier than a ghost! Why won't he leave even me, a ghost, alone? Aaaaaah!
