The Jungler Has the Sweetest Voice [Esports]

They say a top jungler follows three rules: the enemy jungle is my home, I enjoy the show when my teammates argue, and I’m the best at dealing damage and getting kills :)

So Meng Chaoyu never uses voice chat in ranked matches. As a top jungler, he does his job faithfully and never complains.

Maybe Heaven thought his gaming experience wasn’t immersive enough and wanted to add a little special fun. One day, his roommate invited him to play in a three-person team. To make communication easier, Meng Chaoyu uncharacteristically turned on team voice chat.

Unfortunately, that one time was all it took for things to go spectacularly wrong.

"Big brother, let me heal you."

"Big brother, am I good or what~"

"Big brother, be my duo partner, okay?"

The shrill voices rang in his ears, and Meng Chaoyu was so tormented he couldn’t help turning on his mic: Can you stop talking?

At that, the "cute girl" fell silent.

When Huo Xi reached six million followers on a streaming platform, he put on a voice changer and hired a gaming companion at his fans’ request.

Before the game started, the companion invited someone else into the party, saying that ranking up in a three-person team was more reliable.

Since he was only doing it for the stream, Huo Xi had no objection, until the microphone icon beneath the top jungler’s avatar started flashing (⊙o⊙)

The top jungler Mora was a mysterious player who registered on Domain two years ago. After sweeping the jungler rankings within a year, he suddenly disappeared.

Flawless stats, a terrifying win rate, and an unfathomably deep hero pool.

A jungling prodigy? An account raised by a professional gaming studio? Speculation ran wild.

Mora himself, Meng Chaoyu, had only one response: Preparing for exams. Do not disturb.

Then the VIC team, rebuilt after relegation, announced its new lineup. The sharp-tongued haters saw jungler Mora on the roster and burst out laughing, unleashing a torrent of mockery. Since VIC couldn’t win matches, had they decided to start doing absurdist comedy?

But why, after all that hating, was VIC now ranked first in match points?

There are plenty of junglers in the league, but the pros agree there’s only one true top jungler!

The junglers who had never beaten him in solo matches, his victims, challenged everyone: Whoever can beat Mora, I’ll call him Dad!

Famous game commentator, former Domain pro, and VIC diehard, Huo Xi: So many sons :D

Meng Chaoyu, who lost while playing support: ...

Reader notes:

1. Two strong leads who dote on each other, a satisfying esports story, mutual attraction, cool-faced cutie x warm-hearted fireball, five-year age gap, very sweet, no real-life inspiration!!!

2. The bottom is an all-around top jungler. His voice loses much of its intimidating edge the moment he speaks, so the "milky voice" in the title is an exaggeration 🙇‍♀️

3. The top will return to the competitive scene, and the couple will move forward hand in hand.

4. The game is an original keyboard-based MOBA, with plenty of original worldbuilding. You can follow along even if you’ve never played one. The competition format draws on existing game tournaments.

5. Enjoy the story, respect one another, and remember that every reader is adorable~

6. Follow the author’s page and add it to your favorites, and you’ll get a milk-bomb cow (*/ω\*)

7. More to come if I think of anything.
