Turn It Off, It’s Boring [Esports]

[The entire story costs just 4.5 yuan to unlock. Writing isn't easy, so thank you, dear readers, for supporting the official release.]

Please add my upcoming story, I Still Want to Play Volleyball, to your collection.

Naturally seductive, hyperthymestic bottom x a lustful top who strictly observes gentlemanly conduct

A handsome esports streamer who made a name for himself with his looks is wildly popular during the holidays, but his streaming style remains as steady as ever.

Lu Er: "He'll show up here in ten seconds. With our damage right now, one shot will send him back to base."

Ten seconds later:

"First blood."

Viewers: "Is he cheating? The guy wasn't even on screen and he's already dead? Putting on a show, are we?"

"I'm out. This is boring."

Lu Er: "In five seconds, their mid-laner will use a skill to defend the tower. But he's low on health, so one shot will end the game. Right?"

Viewers: "Right, right, right! Little brother is so steady and handsome! No wonder he's the steadiest streamer on the platform! I'll always love Lulu!"

Then one day, Lu Er's steady-guy image fell apart, all because he matched against a streamer who used his username to insult Jiang Cheng while playing Dou Dizhu offline.

And so, the lucky streamer named J God Is Nothing Special lost all his fun beans playing Dou Dizhu.

Jiang Cheng: "Wallhack and seeing the cards? I'm out. This is boring."

Lu Er: "According to the algorithm, I can keep getting matched with you until you're broke."

Jiang Cheng: "..."

Lu Er: "Unless you change your name and apologize."

A few days later, aside from the brief announcement of his retirement, J God posted a second video on social media. A man with freshly washed hair sat brazenly in front of the camera and apologized:

I named myself "J God Is Nothing Special" while playing Dou Dizhu. An overzealous J God fan hasn't let me win a single game since. I sincerely apologize for disrespecting J God. I'm out of money to buy fun beans. Please let me go.

The next day, the trending topics were:

#J God Apologizes to Himself#

#Overzealous J God Fan#

#Huge Reveal: J God Seems to Have Gone on a Late-Night Drive for Couple's Fun#

-

A few months later, after the spring qualifiers ended, spectators in the players' corridor saw J God, usually so brash and bold enough to challenge his former team, whining at his team's marksman.

"I won't do it again. We won, didn't we? Could you go a little easier on me next time?"

Reader's guide:

The Dou Dizhu storyline from the blurb happens in the second half.

A sweet little story, set in a future version of Honor of Kings. You don't need to have played the game to enjoy it. There are livestream scenes and chat comments.

The competition format is based on the KPL, with a few original details.

This story isn't based on real people. Please don't associate the characters with real players.

Please don't mention me in other authors' stories, and don't mention other authors in mine. All game-related details are from Honor of Kings.

...Upcoming story... The Woes of the Wealthy

Chen Yu is every bit as handsome as his name suggests, a man so beautiful he could make fish sink beneath the waves.

But everyone thinks this rising star in the entertainment industry is a little crazy.

A TV series no one believes in? He pours money into it.

A movie no one believes in? He pours money into it.

Even a cat cafe and bookstore that are likely to lose money get a generous investment from him.

He's like a walking vending machine, always looking for another chance to spend money.

The amazing thing is that not one project he's invested in has lost money!

From then on, the title of entertainment industry's lucky charm stuck to Chen Yu. Big shots all wanted him to invest, even if it was just a tiny amount, so they could share in his good fortune.

Chen Yu: "I don't want to invest in anything that makes money. I just want to lose money, thanks."

The year he got into college, he accepted a challenge: spend 10 billion within five years or ascend on the spot. Ever since, he's lived in agony, never managing to spend enough.

He can't donate it or give it away. He can only keep it and spend it himself.

The sea may know when a fish is crying, but who understands the pain of the rich?

He gives TV directors terrible advice, like putting ads in their shows and airing them for free.

He gives movie directors terrible advice, like funding the production himself.

He even gives the cat cafe owner terrible advice, telling them to adopt strays and promising to cover their medical bills.

He's spending money, but why is his balance growing instead of shrinking?

Help...

After being reborn, Xiang Yan went from a rich man to a penniless young man. But all his get-rich schemes are in his head; he just needs to find an investor. Unfortunately, every project he pitches sounds like a money-loser, so no one is willing to invest, until he meets a little fool.

The fool's eyes light up as soon as he hears the proposal, and he throws his arms up and shouts, "I'll fund it!"

The first time: He's so kind.

The second time: He has such good taste.

The third time: Could he be into me?

The fourth time: He loves me so much. I have no way to repay him except to give myself to him and hand over my salary card.

Look how happy the little fool is, almost crying as he takes the money. He really does love me.

Chen Yu: "Thank you so much. I couldn't spend it all as it was, and now you've tripled it. Are you trying to kill me?"

Reader's guide:

Xiang Yan is reborn. In this life, he ends up winning himself over. He had no romantic prospects in his previous life, so this is a case of an old house catching fire.

Chen Yu's money is all legally acquired.

No real-life inspirations. A brainless, feel-good romantic comedy, with a little hardship, probably in the form of money that can't be spent...
