Sloth’s name was not that familiar to the PUBG crowd.
However, if that name was appended with a prefix…
Se7en-Sloth!
It became not merely a familiar name, it became a name that caused veteran FPS players to tremble in its presence!
Gao Yunyang, the Breaker of Armies!
Former core player of team Se7en, the number one rifler in all of Asia!
After his retirement from professional esports, he was rumored to have taken over his family business. It seemed like the rumors were true after all, looking at how he gifted Super Rockets like Fishballs!
However, one question remained…
Why would Sloth gift so many Super Rockets to Vic?
One would have expected the phenomenon to happen to female casters. So what was going on?
The viewers of the stream became restless. Wild speculations flew across the bullet screen.
“F*ck! I thought Vic had a sugar momma. Turns out it’s another guy.”
“That makes it all the more interesting, no? The story wouldn’t be as exciting if the gifter was female.”
“By the way, why did Sloth gift Vic so many Super Rockets? Is there some conspiracy going on behind us?”
“Breaking news! The world champion is his former teammate’s mistress!”
“Shove off with your clickbait title. The last time I checked, Buzzfeed isn’t hiring.”
“…”
Liu Zilang was speechless for a moment when he saw the Super Rockets flying over his screen as he read the ensuing comments.
He pulled out his smartphone, intending to ask Gao Yunyang what had possessed him to do so. At that moment, the gift section of his channel exploded with new notifications.
“SharkChilli gifted the caster Super Rocket x7!”
“…”
“SharkChilli gifted the caster Super Rocket x47!”
“…”
“SharkChilli gifted the caster Super Rocket x77!”
Liu Zilang’s fans and viewers were all stunned when they saw another ‘windfall tycoon’ gift Super Rockets like Fishballs.
“What the f*ck? Another Super Rocket combo attack?”
“SharkChilli? Isn’t that the mysterious administrator?”
“Is SharkChilli Vic’s secret admirer? Are both of them fighting over Vic?”
“Oh my! The rumor mill is working overtime today!”
“Stop gifting Vic things! Even if you win over his body, you won’t win his heart! How about checking out my profile?”
“Wow, stealing Vic’s wind in his channel! Are you for real?”
“Is Sloth being made a cuck here? No wonder this is the greenest channel in all of Douyu!”1
“Vic: Green is good for the eyes! As long as you all are happy.”
“LOLOLOL”
Liu Zilang’s face darkened when he saw Wang Qianqian join in the mess.
It was not that he was against the idea of gifting or having generous patrons.
He was thinking about the fact that half of the money he received from gifts were Douyu’s cut. His heart was bleeding…
He quickly sent separate messages to the two people on WeChat, asking them to take it easy.
Gao Yunyang immediately replied.
“Hope you like the gifts! If I’m in trouble next time, you’ll stand up for me, right?”
‘Stand up for you?
“Stand up your ass!”
Liu Zilang replied with a concise yet clear message. He had only put his smartphone down when it vibrated again.
He thought it was Gao Yunyang but it turned out to be Wang Qianqian.
“I’m not messing around, I’m helping you with the votes.”
“Votes?”
“Yep. The Four Heavenly Chicken Kings voting contest has begun. You can check all of it out if you refresh the main page.”
‘So efficient?’
Liu Zilang refreshed the main page and indeed saw a sidebar on the right side of his screen. It had a real-time leaderboard. Names of streamers from all sections of Douyu were listed there.
The leaderboard looked like that of the top ten streamers of the Douyu Annual Gala Awards. Scoring was strictly by viewer voting, and it would last for a week.
The final ranking would not be determined by the streamer’s in-game skills but rather their popularity among viewers.
The activity had just been launched and many viewers did not know about it yet. That was why they thought Gao Yunyang and Wang Qianqian were fighting for Liu Zilang’s affection.
Nevertheless, that might have actually been the case…
In any case, the Super Rockets were a huge boost. Especially since many of the PUBG streamers did not have an event organizer ‘insider’ to help them.
The PUBG streamers had only just received the news and did not have the time to rally their fans.
That alone allowed Liu Zilang to be on top of the leaderboards, while the second place caster very far behind him.
The top five casters in the PUBG section were Liu Zilang, 17Shou, GodV, Doraemeow, and NB211. They were popular for their skills in the game.
Of course, the ranking was only temporary. There were other skillful streamers like Pigff who did not stream that night.
When those streamers went online the next day, the leaderboard would be sure to see some major changes.
The “Four Heavenly Chicken Kings” title was not important for Liu Zilang. Titles like those were nothing but adornments when all he wanted was a quiet life in the Attractive Section.
Still, his fans, or stream viewers in general, were fond of a streamer having a title to back them up.
With Gao Yunyang and Wang Qianqian leading the charge, many of his fans and viewers went into action. Some of them sent gifts of their own, while others ‘picked up the crumbs’ by clicking on free Glowsticks and Fishballs.
The amount of activity on his channel was immense. He was certain to stay in the top spot of the leaderboard.
His stream that night lasted until about eleven o’clock.
After showing his face on screen and answering his fans’ questions, Liu Zilang, who had just returned to the country, ended the stream.
His position was still in the top spot, and the gap between him and the second place caster had grown even bigger.
Even though he had said that he did not care for titles, the ‘Chicken King’ still felt grateful toward his ‘Chicken Babies’…
…
Nighttime.
After brushing his teeth, Liu Zilang placed his smartphone next to the nightstand and then hopped onto his bed.
His smartphone screen flashed.
It was a call from Gao Yunyang.
He rubbed his chin.
‘It’s almost midnight. Why is he not sleeping and calling me?
‘Is he feeling lonely tonight?
‘But then he shouldn’t be looking for me…’
Still grumbling in his heart, he rolled over to pick up his phone and answered the call.
He was shocked by the first sentence that came from the other end.
“Master Ze is ending his contract with IG.”
“Ending his contract? So suddenly?”
“What’s so sudden about it? The contract he made with IG after leaving Se7en was a short term one. In fact, it had already ended before our trip to California. He only stayed because they were short of players.”
The two fell silent for a short while.
Liu Zilang asked the question he could not hold back, “So… what’s his next plan?”
“I have this idea,” Gao Yunyang abruptly said, “I want to know if you’d be interested.”
“What’s that?” Liu Zilang replied.
“I want to talk to the manager of Se7en to form a sub-team.”
“Sub-team? Does Se7en have the resources for that? Will the manager agree?”
“I haven’t talked to him.”
“So who’s going to be in the team. Wait, do you mean… Master Ze will join them?”
“I haven’t talked to him.
“The only reason for the sub-team is for the name ‘Se7en’. Let me take care of the finances, you’ll just have to contribute your playing skills. What do you think?”
“…”
