Chapter 33 - With you this flirty, even if I wasn’t planning to come, I would have to now.

Edited by Divetus and Noks

Yu Yan had kept his camera off for several days in a row, which made his stream followers so angry that they screamed and wailed in the barrage every day.

However, even if they screamed about it, his viewer count didn’t decrease. After all, his strength and skills were both there. There was no other reason to watch his livestream except just for fun. As long as he had a gun in his hand and enemies in sight, he usually always won. It was particularly comfortable to watch.

Today, the anchor compet.i.tion officially began. The stream followers who were familiar with him had camped in his livestream since early in the morning.

By the time Yu Yan logged into his livestream account, the barrage had already started spamming.

[Today I can finally see my baby son QAQ]

[For real. Getting you to show your face is harder than getting a female anchor to show her face…]

[Baby, I’ve saved up a whole week’s worth of money to help you compete in the anchor compet.i.tion!]

[Telling a horror story. The previous comment is from a man’s account.]

[A man? Wtf, no way! Xiao Yan isn’t available!!]

“You don’t need to save up money for me; just coming to watch me is good enough.” Yu Yan launched the game. “Everyone should spend responsibly and have healthy gaming habits.”

He turned the webcam on, continuously reduced the video interface size, and placed it at the bottom of the screen.

[What? Afraid of being exposed ah??]

[I’m considering if I should purchase a magnifying gla.s.s online.]

Yu Yan laughed, “No, I’m afraid that it’ll block the game interface in a moment and thus interfere with your livestream view.”

[You’re interfering with me staring at your face!!!]

[Enlarge it for Laozi!!]

The viewers spammed a lot, so he finally had to adjust the webcam interface to be just a little bit larger. He was wearing a white T-s.h.i.+rt today, and his hair seemed to have just been washed as it still looked a bit wet; his eyelashes still had remnants of water mist on them. When blinking, the camera above his computer could clearly capture his eyelashes.

[What kind of mascara is this?]

[My G.o.d… My friend recommended this stream to me so I came to watch. Really handsome, love it, love it.]

[If I said that this male anchor was the one with the highest face value in StarTV, no one will refute me ba?]

[This is the PUBG category. Can this face-selling anchor gtfo?]

[Face-selling anchor? This guy is 10,000 times stronger than your master, okay?]

Yu Yan didn’t mind the quarrel in the barrage. As soon as he had loaded into PUBG, QM_qixian had sent him a team invite.

When he entered the game lobby, he heard a noise come from his headphones.

“Hurry up and figure out a way to get him to join.”

“It’s not like we’re a small organization…”

“What’s with this youth training thing…”

The speaker was a little far away from the mic, so Yu Yan could only vaguely pick up the words “organization” and “youth training”.

“I’m sorry, it’s a bit noisy over here.” QM_qixian apologized. He then whispered, “Keep your voices down, I’m duo queuing!”

Yu Yan let out an “en” then said, “It’s okay. Queue?”

The other side was silent for a long time before there was a response. “Queuing. I also have two friends, is that okay?”

“Anything’s fine.”

Yu Yan didn’t realise that something was off until the other party’s “friends” entered the game lobby.

Both the players who joined had two big letters prefixed to their usernames—QM.

Before he could say anything, the other side had already queued the match, and he instantly entered Manners Plaza.

[Holy s.h.i.+t, these are QM team members ah!!]

[One subst.i.tute and two starter players. Does this mean they’re just going to let the anchor lie down and eat chicken?]

[The people who watch PUBG compet.i.tions all year round are in this stream. The anchor’s strength is no less than that of a professional player’s (if he’s not aimbotting). It’s not certain who’s going to get carried here.]

Once the match started, the QM team members started talking amongst themselves.

“When are you guys going back to the gaming house?”

“Isn’t the vacation not over until the day after tomorrow? Of course I’ll take the plane back the day after tomorrow la. I can get another day’s worth of rest.”

“I’m heading back tomorrow.”

Since the situation was already like this, he might as well chill. Yu Yan closed his in-game open mic and discussed a new gun with his stream viewers.

“Xiao Yan, where do you want to jump to?”

Hearing his name, Yu Yan responded, “I’m good with whatever. You guys can just mark it ba.”

“Then, let’s just jump to Military Base ba.” Another person spoke up.

PUBG compet.i.tions were different from just casually playing PUBG matches. Many teams like to focus on development. They would collate data before their matches about the locations that other teams liked to jump to and choose to avoid them. In most instances, there were only one or two teams jumping into cities.

QM was different. They were famous for being a Military Base team; every member of the team was very strong. It wasn’t that QM could crush other teams with just their pure technical ability, it was just that other teams weren’t sure if they could win against them and have most of their own team members survive. If that occured, they would be eliminated by another team afterward, so they simply choose to avoid the battle.

[Holy s.h.i.+t. This could be regarded as watching a compet.i.tion, ba??]

[No, it’s even better than a compet.i.tion. During a compet.i.tion, there’s jack s.h.i.+t happening at Military Base!]

[Now that it’s been mentioned, it seems that QM’s team and the anchor’s styles match very well. I have a bold idea…]

The barrage’s discussion was very heated; Yu Yan didn’t read it carefully. He nodded and replied, “Okay.”

“What area are you better at? The C-area or the police station?”

Yu Yan said, “I can do it all.”

“Then C-area, second building.”

Yu Yan quickly picked up a gun after landing and entered the room. The flight route was very close to Military Base, and when he was parachuting down, it looked like pouring dumplings into a pot. The number of people around him was very exaggerated. As soon as he entered the room, he heard continuous footsteps around him.

Because his teammates were also all nearby, it was difficult to distinguish between friends and foes based on just footsteps. Yu Yan simply hid in the corner of a stairwell and used his positional advantage to sneakily kill two people.

No. 3 shouted, “f.u.c.k, I’m out of ammo. There’s someone near me.”

“Well, good luck ba. I’ll only have about ten bullets left, a very poor amount. We’ll slip away first.”

No. 3 said, “Tch, forget it. Count it as my misfortune. All the people I killed were poor devils. I’ll jump out through the window ba; if I die, I die.”

When vaulting out of the window, the gla.s.s would shatter and create a relatively loud noise. Right now, Military Base was full of people. It would be very easy to become a target if you exposed yourself in an open s.p.a.ce.

“I’ll come find you.” Yu Yan had finished looting a box and asked, “How many people are there?”

No. 3 replied, “Don’t come, bro. There’s at least two people here, and one of the ID’s has been flooding the kill feed this entire time. They’re skilled.”

Yu Yan ran toward No. 3’s direction. “It’s fine. If I can’t beat them, I’ll run away. Don’t worry. I value my life a lot.”

“Hahaha, alright. Then, come over ba. I still have four bullets left, let’s see if I can do something.”

Yu Yan soon arrived in the vicinity of No. 3. He had just nodded when his head was shot at.

No. 3 was right, the other party was quite skilled. Since they had a numerical advantage, they basically didn’t hide. Half of this player’s body was hanging out as they kept aiming at Yu Yan. As long as he was exposed, he would get shot at.

“Bro, how good is your aim?” No. 3 suddenly asked this after peeking at the situation from behind.

Yu Yan didn’t hesitate to answer, “I’m known as a sharpshooter.”

“… Okay.” No. 3 said, “I still have a small pistol to bait people in. I’ll shoot first. Time it carefully and take advantage of the situation.”

He said it very vaguely but Yu Yan understood. “No problem.”

No. 3 fired several shots from behind the enemy, and the other party finally withdrew the gun they had aimed at Yu Yan. When the enemy turned their head toward No. 3’s direction, Yu Yan immediately leaned forward to open fire——

[You knocked down 98kxiannv with a M16A4]

The enemy team had simultaneously turned around and hit back just as these white words popped up on the screen. Yu Yan also completely didn’t avoid the battle. The two sides commenced a gun fight that lasted for a few seconds within the short distance——

[98kyangyang knocked you down with an AKM]

An AKM’s damage was much higher than that of an M16. Additionally, by the time the first person had been killed, Yu Yan had already taken several bullets. Yu Yan called out that he was knocked down.

He then shouted, “Just one more shot!”

Before he finished shouting, several shots had already been fired!

[QM_luoluo eliminated 98kyangyang with an Uzi]

“I know. They’re dead now.” No. 3 didn’t rush to loot the box after killing them. He instead ran over to help pull Yu Yan up. “Bro, you play well. You really are a sharpshooter.”

Yu Yan looked at the barrage that was mocking him and calling him a noob. He said with a smile, “Not really, didn’t kill him.”

“You got them down to the last sliver of health. Besides, what gun did you have? And what gun did they have? Their gun’s damage crushes yours.”

Yu Yan no longer tried to act modest. He looted everything from the box and turned to leave the building.

Military Base was soon cleared out by their team, with all their team members still alive. Yu Yan opened the map and looked at it. They were still in the middle of the circle, as the other half of the circle went out into the water.

No. 3 laughed, “Why do I feel like this match has a circle of destiny ah?”

A circle of destiny meant that the selected parachuting place was in the safe zone from the beginning to the end.

No. 1 chimed in, “It must be. Go and block the bridge. Xiao Lan, go find somewhere to snipe from. The three of us will go to the bridge.”

No. 4 agreed, “Okay.”

The three QM members were very well coordinated. They guarded the bridge for a long time, killing three teams—with two of those being full squads.

Yu Yan mixed in with them and adapted to the situation very well. He didn’t have to worry about the enemies surrounding them when listening to No. 3’s commands.

In this match’s circle of destiny, the squad was completely alive as they ate chicken.

“Cool!” No. 3 yelled out. He then said in an intimate manner, “Come Xiao Yan, let’s continue!”

The four of them played for an afternoon. Yu Yan played to his heart’s content. He hadn’t felt this way in a long time—when he played well, he didn’t have to worry about his teammates. When he played poorly, he had three big backs behind him.

At the end of another match, Yu Yan checked the time. It was the scheduled time for his takeout to arrive.

He was about to leave the team when one of his teammates suddenly turned on his mic.

“Xiao Yan, you play pretty well ah. Have you thought about going pro ah?”

Yu Yan was stunned and forgot what he was about to say.

[Holy s.h.i.+t??? Will my idea really come true?!]

[QM doesn’t lack people do they? Did they want to recruit the anchor to be a subst.i.tute?]

[Too awesome ba. Does this count as a disguised acknowledgement that the anchor is very strong? After playing a few matches, he was already invited to join the team. Completely unbelievable.]

Knowing that the situation wasn’t suitable, another teammate quickly spoke up to mediate, “He’s streaming right now, don’t make fun of him!”

“Ah? Oh… f.u.c.k. I thought that he only streamed at night… was just making a joke, haha.”

Yu Yan played along. “Ai, I was happy for nothing.”

He said that, but his expression was indifferent.

When Yi Chen entered the stream, he saw this indifferent expression.

He narrowed his eyes and looked again. He found that the little anchor’s eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and there was even a trace of rejection at the bottom of his eyes.

“Haha, let’s continue?”

“Going to stop playing, I…” Yu Yan paused, looking for an excuse to leave.

He minimized the game and just happened to see the carriage animation appear on the top of his livestream page.

Seeing 1’s ID, Yu Yan’s eyebrows suddenly smoothed out, and he blurted out, “… My boss is here. I have to go carry him.”

“Your stream boss? Alright ba.” The man then said, “Then, let’s exchange contact information? We can play together later.”

“Okay.”

They added each other on QQ, and Yu Yan directly withdrew from the team game lobby.

The barrage had already exploded.

[1YanTang is now open for business today!!]

[How could going pro be more important than your husband? :)]

[Play in what compet.i.tion?! I just want to see you two fall in love!! Fall!]

Yu Yan: “…”

The phone suddenly dinged.

1: Using me as a s.h.i.+eld?

He had, unexpectedly, been seen through. Yu Yan panicked for a bit, but soon calmed down.

Yu Yan: No, I truly want to play with you.

This actually wasn’t a lie. He gave his justification boldly.

1: Oh?

Fearing that 1 wouldn’t believe him, Yu Yan tried to explain.

Yu Yan: Really, I saw you as soon as you entered the stream.

1: You pay that much attention to me?

Yu Yan thought, even if I didn’t pay attention to you, it’s hard to ignore such a big animation at the top of the screen when you enter ah.

Yu Yan: Yes… So, are you playing?

1: With you this flirty, even if I wasn’t planning to come, I would have to now.

“…”

Yu Yan foolishly scrolled upwards in the chat log.

Did he act flirty?

Where did he act flirty???

… Nowhere ba???

[Why is the anchor blus.h.i.+ng???]

[Who are you talking to? Girlfriend?]

[Girlfriend??? I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!!!]

When Yi Chen entered the game lobby, Yu Yan was still in a state of absent-mindedness.

The viewers were still talking about the matter of him blus.h.i.+ng.

[I’ve only been a fan of this CP for a few days, and it’s already about to end?]

[Isn’t it normal to have a girlfriend if you’re so good-looking ba?]

[I can’t accept it!!]

[Have you guys clearly seen the chat logs or the person that he’s chatting with? You guys have already signed off on it being a girlfriend from just this? I’ll never give up on 1YanTang.]

“Let’s chat here, my cellphone is charging.”

As soon as the man opened his mouth, the barrage momentarily froze, leaving a large empty s.p.a.ce on the screen.

Yi Chen didn’t realize anything was wrong. He glanced at the barrage and softly asked, “What does ‘1YanTang’ mean?”

—

Juurensha: Boss Yi, you realize you’re being really flirty, right?

Divi: Boss Yi, do you think that streamers normally video call their viewers??? Naturally the dense people are the most unintentionally flirty…
