[The full story is complete]
Wen Baichen's nineteenth year was extraordinarily eventful. In a single year, he did what takes most people half a lifetime: earned a permanent position, got laid off, and found a new job.
Just how unlucky do you have to be to come down with a stomachache during the deciding game of the spring finals, get relentlessly hunted by the opposing team, and set a record of fifteen deaths in a single match?
Fifteen times!
Wen Baichen: ...
Thanks for asking. That's not the sort of record I want to set.
Overnight, Wen Baichen was flamed all over the trending page. He regretfully retired and switched to being a game streamer, calmly performing a hilarious comedy routine for his fans, whether they came for his reputation or his looks:
The retired support can't play support,
but is a beast in the jungle.
Wen Baichen's jungler went on a rampage in the Rift of Starfall.
Fans: ?
Aren't you supposed to play support?
Wen Baichen gave a simple explanation: “I played jungle during training. The first team had no one, so I switched to support at the last minute.”
Fans: Nice.
Fans: First you switched from jungle to support, then from player to streamer. Don't mind me asking, did the streaming platform bring you in as an emergency replacement too?
Fans: Where's the streamer? Say something!
His silence was deafening.
Wen Baichen was a beast in the jungle and a great streamer in every way. The only problem was that his social circle kept shrinking. Every day, all he could do was trade blows with his fans, then stare into the eyes of his cat, Mili, whose following was far bigger than his own.
Then one day, an unexpected connection that could match players across games appeared. The man who had personally sent Wen Baichen to his death fifteen times back then burst in with his teammates, then held out a hand with feigned composure:
“We're one short. Once the roster's full, we're heading out.”
“Have you considered coming out of retirement?”
Wen Baichen: “!!!”
Third career change: streamer to player!
The CDS region's performance in Starfall was like a fleeting flower. It bloomed for a moment with the newly formed CE team in S11, then fell back into a dark age.
The teams fought fiercely against each other, but fell flat against international opponents.
Everyone thought S11 heralded the rise of the CDS region. It turned out to be no more than a dying patient's final rally. Countless fans arrived full of excitement, only to leave disappointed.
Just as the long-dormant esports scene was about to sink back into silence, the only team in the region to have won the global finals, Crush Epoch, suddenly pulled off a huge surprise!
The former champion jungler switches to ADC and heads for the bottom lane?
The former retired support switches to jungle and takes a starting spot?
What? Wen Baichen switched roles to fill in again!
Fans: ???
This team can win, my ass... Holy crap?
Why are these five playing so aggressively!?
Before you read:
1. This is a career-focused story about two strong players teaming up to fight their way to the top, with a sweet romance that develops over time away from the stage. The balance is roughly 70/30. The beginning covers the state of the CDS region in the S13 season, and the main characters enter the competition around chapter 45.
2. Starfall is a fictional MOBA similar to League of Legends, 300 Heroes, and Honor of Kings. To make the fictional game feel plausible, some hero designs are inspired by these games.
3. The author has spent time in the real-world esports scene... So any familiar esports jokes or iconic moments are tributes to real life.
4. The tactics in this story are based on the author's limited understanding of games and a lot of improvisation. I'll do my best! I really will!
5. You can enjoy this even if you don't play games. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of competition. All you need is for them to look cool!
6. This is the author's first long novel, so please be patient with its shortcomings. Feedback is welcome.

9. Wishing everyone success in both their careers and love lives!
Theme: Chase your dreams and keep moving forward
Tonic - why is it gone? 😭 😭 😭 Xu Feng, who has been single for so many years, didn't even give us any candy - but I still like bamboo horses more. Although I am a saw-mouthed gourd, I have been in love for so many years and I haven't let go so quickly. I was just touched by Tianyi today, and Zhuma was immediately stunned! Just hit the ball straight! Talk to me hard!
Wuwuwuwuwu, can you please consider placing an order again with Xu Feng? Wuwuwuwuwu. The first time I wrote about him and Mr. Lu's children, they had a falling out. At least write more about it. Wuwuwuwu. Some selfish hopes that our "CDS" can also tear apart "KDS" and win the championship this year.
Why is it gone??????? . ?????????????????????????????
I want to say it at the end but the finals haven't been updated yet, so I'll just say it here. Orange's mistakes in the semi-finals and the previous games are all very specific, and they are all reasonable and acceptable to me. However, Orange's highlights are much omitted compared to his mistakes. Throughout the article, there is no mention of Orange's specific operations that are extreme or a certain wave of ideas that are magical. And the author is not bad at writing. Su Qinshao's highlights are particularly clear. Although there will be some shortcomings in understanding that Orange is a newcomer, the author himself has said that Orange is the t0 jungler, so why not give more highlights? Looking at it now, it feels like a castle in the air. I say he is strong but I can't tell what is the specific strength. Maybe you can consider writing out the MVP data after the detailed game is over. This way, at least it will be intuitive. Otherwise, just relying on the barrage will be a bit true and false. But apart from the competition content, the author is very good at writing about daily interactions, mutual compliments, and the emotional line is also good. However, the sister line is actually a bit irrelevant to the main line. If it can be integrated better, it will not be abrupt.
I finished chasing it in a few days... It looks great! It can be seen that the author is really a senior competitive fan... It is even so real that I feel uncomfortable. I almost had a heart attack several times as if I were actually watching the game hahahahaha
Is there a next chapter? Why is it locked 💔💔
It's even, the main CP's emotional line is very interesting, and I can see the author's idea of creating other characters besides the main CP, I like it very much. But it was so painful to watch the game 🥺 I always feel that the deepest impression of Orange so far comes from the emotional line orz. As soon as I entered the game, the mistakes were written in great detail, and the highlights were flashed over and I couldn't remember anything I saw. The Blood Blade Ranger in the last game felt like a foreshadowing that had been buried for most of the book, but he actually lost... Emmmmm, what should I say? I got choked up after chasing it all at once. Most of the highlights were Su's, and some were given to other teammates, but to be honest, I didn't have much impression of Orange's highlights in official events. If you want to write about the growth process, there doesn't seem to be much to write about. If you want to highlight the talent of the jungler, there aren't many places to show it. The career line really feels a bit frustrating, too suppressed and too little promoted. There seems to be not many places to point out the importance of oranges in so many games in more than 180 chapters. Even if they are, they are mostly mentioned in one stroke. Instead, Su's abilities in all aspects are shaped by a lot of pen and ink, especially on the field. It gives people the feeling that the game can still be played without oranges, and that the team will be disbanded without Su. To be honest, when I saw the copywriting, I thought it was about a young genius who was discovered to have his shining point, pursuing his career and gaining love at the same time. But the actual performance in the text is that Cheng Zi was a little sad when Su discovered his jungle talent, was invited to join the team, and then was taken away (trying to gesture).
Hey, it's been two years? Reading this book again, I am still very sad that Xu Feng's story has no ending...
Are you really not going to give Xu Feng a separate book?!!
"Water generates fire" is a big bug for the author~ dire straits
