I Picked Up an Esports Pro

Please support the official release!) *My upcoming stories, Summer-Only Substitute and I'm Just a Mirror [Infinite], are listed below. If you're interested, please add them to your collection!* Lin Mi, the star streamer at Cat Ear Live, is hailed across the internet as the most handsome man in ancient-style clothing in the streaming world. His greatest hobby is cosplaying characters from the games he plays. One day, after getting scared while streaming a horror game, he steps outside for some air and happens to find Rong Zhouzhou, the top mid laner in the LPL, drunk by the roadside after being set up. Since Rong Zhouzhou is his little brother's idol, Lin Mi lends him a hand and takes the esports superstar home. When Rong Zhouzhou sobers up, he finds himself in a room with an old-fashioned atmosphere. Facing a beauty in Hanfu holding a candlestick, Rong Zhouzhou asks sincerely, "Miss, what is the name of the current dynasty?" Lin Mi, who had to light a candle because the power was out: ...Did drinking mess up his brain? Ever since Lin Mi brought Rong Zhouzhou home, the quality of his life has noticeably improved. Someone cooks for him, takes care of the cats and dogs, and cleans the house. Even streaming horror games is less scary when he has company. Lin Mi: He's a little dumb, but I guess keeping him around isn't so bad. When Rong Zhouzhou's vacation ends and he says goodbye to Lin Mi, Lin Mi suddenly panics. "How are the pets and I supposed to live without you (cooking)?" Rong Zhouzhou: "Actually, our team is looking for a manager." Lin Mi: "Does it come with meals? Can I bring the pets?" Rong Zhouzhou smiles and nods. After joining the team, Lin Mi, deadpan: "I just found out that the team manager has to handle the whole team's streaming KPIs and serve as a substitute player, too." Rong Zhouzhou, completely unapologetic: "Sorry, the team owner is kind of broke. Cut us some slack." Later, when Lin Mi wins the world championship alongside the team as both manager and substitute, a reporter asks, "Seek, you once said during a stream that you didn't like team games such as LoL. What changed your mind and made you join WDG?" Lin Mi: "It all started with a horror game..." Rong Zhouzhou: "Because I'm a good cook." This is not based on real people, not based on real people, not based on real people! The game is fictional, and everything is made up by the author. Please don't overanalyze it! P.S. The cover character design is from Moyao Studio. Upcoming story: Summer-Only Substitute Yan Wangshu, who has held the number one spot on the national server for ages, is an insanely good support player. His fans say you could win with a dog chained to your side if he were your support. But illness means he'll never become a professional player, until one day he wakes up and discovers he's become the substitute ADC for the WPG team. Yan Wangshu, who isn't very good at playing ADC: ...A substitute shouldn't have to play, right? Xiao Cang, the star player on the WPG team, is widely regarded as the best ADC in the country. But he's never appeared on the international stage because... he's afraid of flying. After winning the domestic spring split once again but being unable to lead his team to the Mid-Season Invitational, Xiao Cang starts a livestream, hoping to play support and pad his stream hours. Instead, he runs into someone whose most-played champions are all ADCs, but who still insists on fighting him for the role. Yan Wangshu: "Giegie, I only know how to play support, support. Could you let me have this one?" Xiao Cang: "...No." [Comments: Whoa, so this is what the WPG team's substitute ADC is like?!] Later, just when Yan Wangshu has finally accepted that he must take Xiao Cang's place at the Mid-Season Invitational and embarrass himself in front of the entire world, the organizers send a notice: this time, the Mid-Season Championship will make an exception and allow the WPG team to compete remotely. Yan Wangshu: "Yay! I don't have to go out and embarrass my country!" But Xiao Cang asks him, "Would you be willing to play support for me?" Yan Wangshu looks at Xiao Cang's stunning face and solemnly nods. At the Mid-Season Championship, Yan Wangshu amazes everyone with his ocean-deep pool of support champions. Teammate: "Xiao Shu, you're so good at support. Why did you insist on fighting ADCs for their jobs before?" Yan Wangshu sighs. "That's a long story..." Xiao Cang: "..." Yan Wangshu smiles, eyes narrowed. "Of course, the main reason is that none of the other ADCs are as handsome as our God Cang." Xiao Cang: "..." That night, the WPG team's support is pinned firmly against the wall by the ADC. Xiao Cang: "You think I'm handsome?" Yan Wangshu: "You're too tall. I can't see you clearly. Why don't you come a little closer?" The game in this story is a fictional MOBA created by the author, with references to LoL, Honor of Kings, and others.

Upcoming story: I'm Just a Mirror One day, an immense force suddenly envelops the earth, and some people's inner powers begin to awaken. Some possess Bright Crystals, which let them absorb spiritual energy and cultivate. They are called Luminaries. Others possess Dark Crystals and must make a pact with a Luminary to draw energy from them and cultivate. They are called Shadows. Shadows are everywhere, but Luminaries are hard to find. Ming Cheng is a newly awakened Luminary. He can see the energy system and level inside every person. Recruited by the Alliance, he thinks he'll become a human detection device, but instead, he accidentally enters a minor spirit realm and becomes one of the collectors of spirit cards. In the first minor spirit realm, the group is trapped by countless identical illusions and must find the real person among them to break free. But in Ming Cheng's eyes, there's only one person in front of him. Ming Cheng breaks the formation and obtains a spirit card. To save Qi You, who is about to perish along with the minor spirit realm, Ming Cheng forms a pact with him and shares his energy. But when the pact is complete and a pitch-black object appears behind Qi You, Ming Cheng finally realizes the truth: he's not some high-tech human detection device. He's just an ordinary mirror. Later, when Ming Cheng uses the mirror to reflect an enemy's attack, Ming Cheng: "Qi You, you have no heart! How could you use me to block an attack? I'm just a mirror that shatters at the slightest touch!" Qi You: "...Then you must be made of diamond." First minor spirit realm: Haunting of the Old Mansion. Second minor spirit realm: The Tree Spirit of the Deep Mountains. Third minor spirit realm: The Vengeful Spirit at the Prestigious School. Fourth minor spirit realm: ...
