Ch53 - I'm on my fucking knees!

Edited by kat

Mo Chen’s sudden decision to change his ID shocked the entire SGH e-sports circle. Not only were the SGH e-sports fans shocked, but the major team’s players also couldn’t believe it.

“What’s going on?!” After Lightning found out about this, his first reaction was, “Has the official Weibo of those stinking hooligans been hacked?!”

The coach slapped him on the head. “Hacked your head! The spring competition is about to start, but you’re just sitting here, not training well and reading all these things…”

Having said that, he was also shocked. He didn’t expect that Mo Chen would go so far as to do this.

A player’s ID carried all the history and honors that the player had obtained after stepping into the e-sports circle.

Mac’s ID wasn’t just an ID, but also synonymous with the “number one sharpshooter god.”

Any SGH e-sports fan, just by hearing this ID, could feel the power, brilliance, and even miracles behind it.

Therefore, unless they had no other choice, it was impossible for e-sports players to change their professional IDs, let alone Mo Chen, a legend in the SGH e-sports circle.

However, he had just changed it. He took action as soon as he said it, without even blinking an eye.

CC, the captain of MQ, was scrolling through Weibo while on a break, and when he reached those trending searches, his face also showed a trace of surprise.

Rather than the change of the ID itself, he was more concerned about why Mo Chen had suddenly changed his ID.

The spring competition was about to start, and the comment areas below the Weibos of all the major teams weren’t calm, especially CLM who had always been standing at the forefront.

In addition, recently the most controversial issue under CLM’s official Weibo had been Mac’s use of a side account to commit a bloodbath in the rookie concentration camp before the official competition.

If it was another club, as long as the situation didn’t blow up, they wouldn’t respond. If it did blow up, they’d post a message clarifying the situation, and then stir up the netizens into flaming each other to end the situation.

However, Mo Chen didn’t do this at all. Not only did he go against what the netizens were saying, but he even changed his ID, indirectly admitting that Momo was his side account. He truly had a fearless attitude.

——I just used a side account to commit a bloodbath in the rookie concentration camp before the official competition, so what? All just to accompany Wency during his livestream, so what? Any comments? If you have any, say them, either way I won’t listen.

This set of maneuvers really confused people who had been tearing into this matter for several days, and they had to stop their battle to sort their thoughts out.

Then the MoXi CP fans took advantage of the void and completely dominated the direction of public opinion.

What CC was curious about now was—had Mo Chen predicted this result, and that’s why he had taken the risk to counterattack like this, or was it simply for the sake of being serious?

All of them were human beings, and they would all have times when they were angry and rebellious. It was just like when they did homework as a child. The more their parents urged them, the less they wanted to do it.

The more people on the Internet flamed, the more bastard-like Mo Chen would act—That was a possibility that couldn’t be ignored.

But was Mo Chen really such an irrational person?

CC was skeptical.

Therefore, he preferred his former idea and thought that Mo Chen had controlled the direction of public opinion with one move.

“Mac, this person is too terrifying,” he concluded.

En, this proved that he was a straight man.

*

Since Mo Chen announced his decision to change his ID on the official CLM Weibo, the MoXi CP fans celebrated all afternoon long.

Chen Xiao had originally thought that after a day, things would calm down a bit, but when he logged into Weibo the next day on his phone, he opened the trending searches to find that two of the three trending searches from yesterday were missing, but there were now two new ones.

Trending search No.3: Wency responds to Mac’s ID change

Trending search No.6: Wency likes it

Chen Xiao: ???

He clicked on the No.3 trending search, and saw at a glance how Wen Xi had forwarded the post. He was so startled that he instantly clicked away.

Mo Chen messing around was whatever, but how could Wen Xi also…?!

The following comments were all:

[Official announcement?!]

[It was the main account that liked it and the main account that forwarded it. If this isn’t an official announcement, then what is!]

[Holy shit! It’s the first time I’ve shipped such a real CP, and it actually feels unreal!]

Chen Xiao roughly glanced through all of it with a complicated mood.

Well, both parties were enjoying it, so why should he be worrying about from the sidelines…

He thought up until this point, but when he got up and went downstairs, he still confiscated all of their cellphones as soon as he arrived. “The spring competition is about to start, so during this final sprint, no one is allowed to look at their cellphones. Train well, and I’ll take care of your cellphones for now.”

Mo Chen had no objections, and Wen Xi also had no objections. On the contrary, it was Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei who let out cries of despair.

Mo Chen’s thought process was: This is also good. Just in case public opinion sours and the antis counterattack, Wen Xi won’t see it, so it can’t affect his mood.

Wen Xi’s thought process was: This is also good. This way he won’t scroll through Weibo until 2 a.m. like last night, affecting the following day’s training.

So, for the next few days until the start of the spring competition, CLM’s members were all immersed in difficult training, and they let the netizens discuss whatever they wanted.

Originally, they had free time after dinner, but in order to enter the spring competition in their best possible condition, the time after dinner was also used for training.

In this way, Wen Xi frankly and openly skipped livestreaming for an entire week.

During this period, Liu Weizhe, the manager of CLM, contacted Mo Chen through Chen Xiao and said that the spring competition’s marketing team hoped that Mo Chen could help record a promotional video of the spring competition. However, this was rejected by Mo Chen.

The next day, Wen Xi received an express package. When he opened it, he found that it was the CLM team uniform! Mo Chen had actually helped him order one without saying a word!

He became excited and nine out of ten of his arrows fell sideways, with the remaining one embedding itself into Ling Shuyi’s head.

Ling Shuyi: ….

Fortunately, Wen Xi quickly recovered his original state and slaughtered in all directions!

In a flash, it became the day of the spring competition.

[Welcome to the 17th SGH spring competition. I’m Caster A-Yi!]

[And I’m Caster Bunny Ji!]

Of course the official competition would have professional commentators.

Wen Xi was no stranger to these two casters. After all, when he was just an anchor, he had learned a lot from these two in order to comment on the domestic trials.

A-Yi and Bunny Ji had been partners for three years, and had been the casters for pretty much every official SGH competition.

At this time, Wen Xi was sitting at the scene of the competition and checking his equipment.

According to the plan agreed on in advance, he and Mo Chen would play solo, while Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei would form a duo team.

In fact, Mo Chen had wanted to play duo with Wen Xi, but after thinking about it some more, with his tacit understanding with Wen Xi they could get the same results in solo as in duo, but Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei couldn’t.

There was no difference between accumulating points in solo matches or duo matches, but it was more difficult to get a high score in solo matches rather than in duo matches.

Therefore, Mo Chen finally decided to nab points in solo matches with Wen Xi, while Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei would be stuck in duo matches to mess around, and they would hide to survive for however long they could.

[It’s five minutes before the game will start!]

With Caster A-Yi’s words, Wen Xi took a deep breath and put on his earphones.

By this time, his game character was already in the queueing map.

He recognized some of the players around him, but there were also those who he didn’t recognize.

It was the same process as a training match, but it gave him a totally different feel.

Everyone would make fun of each other on the public channel in the training match, but not in the spring competition.

Everyone would greet each other by punching at each other in the queuing map in the training match, but not in the spring competition.

——At the moment, all the players were shooting to warm up their hands.

After Wen Xi stretched his fingers a bit, he also immediately looked for a target and fired an arrow. For a while, his earphones were full of the “bang bang bang” of gunshots, both far and near.

Therefore, he didn’t know that shortly after he put on his earphones, the casters mentioned him.

“This should be Wency’s first official competition ba,” A-Yi said, “I’m kind of anticipating it.”

“Haha, yes!” Bunny Ji replied, “I saw his performance during the Ice Cream Cup, and it was really amazing! Mac has a really good eye for people ah~”

“It’s Momo now,” A-Yi corrected her.

“Ah, right, now it’s Momo,” Bunny Ji said and couldn’t help but complain, “I didn’t think he would really change it ah?”

She voiced what most people were thinking inwardly.

Until the start of the spring competition, there were still people who suspected that CLM’s official Weibo had been hacked.

It was only when the director had cut the camera to Mo Chen’s game perspective that people saw that his avatar was unchanged, but the ID above his head had suddenly become CLM-Momo.

——It had really been changed.

At that moment, one idea flashed through many people’s minds.

It seemed that CLM’s official Weibo hadn’t been hacked.

So, Wency’s personal Weibo also hadn’t been hacked.

So, the MoXi CP…

[It’s real! Mama, I shipped a real one!]

[AHHHHHHHHH I didn’t expect that one day I would see the MoXi CP on an official competition’s livestream!]

[I’m a bit disappointed they’re not doing duo, but when I think that the first time God Xi met Momo was in a solo match, I feel alive again!]

The spring competition was streamed on multiple platforms simultaneously. JJ Livestreams was the most lively area because it was the platform Wen Xi had signed with, and the birthplace of the MoXi CP fans.

The messages on the screen’s barrage at the moment were all about these two people. It was all [Don’t fight on Weibo about if they have something going on or not, I just want to ask if you guys are married yet] and [Mama is asking me why I’m holding the Civil Affairs Bureau and watching the game].

Looking at these lines in the barrage, the real game fans shivered and didn’t dare to speak: It must be that I opened up the barrage the wrong way.

“Alright, we can now see that the 100 contestants have already gotten onto the plane!”

With A-Yi’s words, the screen no longer showed the casters’’ faces but shifted to the players.

Just as if the director knew who everyone’s attention was on, he cut the camera to Wen Xi at the beginning.

“It’s Wency’s perspective!” Bunny Ji exclaimed excitedly. However, she soon calmed down and pretended that she had never called out anything. “This match has the desert as the center. I feel like not many people will jump there.”

“The first area the plane passed was the grassland, and the second was the city. Over the years, many people have liked jumping to the city. I wonder if this match will be the same situation,” A-Yi said, then suddenly thought of something else, “By the way, Bunny Ji, have you paid attention to the forum recently?”

“Hm? You mean…” Bunny Ji’s first reaction was that this was about the post suspecting that Momo was Mac’s side account. After CLM had announced that Mac’s ID was going to change to Momo, the post had exploded for several days.

However, she didn’t think it was a good idea to talk about this kind of thing during a formal competition?

Fortunately, she hesitated for a moment and didn’t respond to A-Yi’s question.

A-Yi hadn’t wanted to talk about that post at all, but instead said, “That post analyzing Wency that appeared two days ago. It included what areas he’s good at, what areas he’s not good at, the reason why he’s not good in them, some habits and weaknesses of his archery, etc, etc.”

Bunny Ji had a completely confused expression, and was obviously unaware of the existence of this post.

Chen Xiao, who was watching the battle under the stage, stumbled for a moment, then immediately took out his cellphone to search for the post.

Because of Mo Chen’s ID change, the forum and Weibo both hadn’t been peaceful these past two days. He had ordered his team members not to look at their cellphones, but he also hadn’t dared to look. He had been afraid that it would affect his state of mind, but he had never expected that this kind of thing would happen!

He pretty much entered the forum in a hurry, and flipped through several pages until he finally found the post that A-Yi had talked about. It was titled, “Archer Assassin Analysis Post”, which was simple and crude.

This post only had a few dozen replies, not even 100, so it was obviously not that popular.

The main post was a giant mass of words, and because it didn’t have any subsections, it was difficult to read. People who didn’t have a chance to fight with Wen Xi simply wouldn’t have the patience to finish reading it.

However, what if it was a professional team who had seen this post?!

Chen Xiao frowned and looked up at the screen.

The plane had already flown over the city area, but there were very few people who jumped there, just because—Wen Xi hadn’t jumped yet.

It couldn’t be that most of the teams had seen that post, and now wanted to target Wen Xi ba?!

Because it was a formal competition, this time Manager Liu Weizhe had also been deployed with the troops and sat beside Chen Xiao.

Seeing that Chen Xiao was nervous and flustered, he said lightly, “I knew about that post, and the analysis is actually pretty accurate.”

Chen Xiao: ???

“You knew about it, but you didn’t tell us?” Chen Xiao couldn’t help asking.

Liu Weizhe shrugged indifferently and said, “I reported it, but it’s useless. Whoever posted it didn’t post anything they shouldn’t have. It’s just an analysis. Since it can’t be deleted, why should I tell you guys about it and unnecessarily increase the pressure on all of you?”

Chen Xiao replied, “I could have at least told Wen Xi to be careful ah!”

Liu Weizhe rolled his eyes and was speechless. “…What misunderstanding do you have about him and Mo Chen? They know where their strengths lie, so they all understand they’ll be besieged by all the players here. Do they need you to remind them?”

Huh? That actually made sense?

Before Chen Xiao could react, Liu Weizhe opened his mouth again. “They’re already in the competition, so it’s useless for you to be anxious for them. Just concentrate on watching the game,” he said, then was unable to hold back from complaining in a low voice, “There have been a lot more analysis posts on the forums for Mo Chen than for Wen Xi, but I didn’t see you so nervous then.”

Hearing this sentence, Chen Xiao slightly froze and thought that that was actually true.

Wen Xi wasn’t weak. Rather, he was the strongest player Chen Xiao had ever seen after Mo Chen.

There were posts analyzing Mo Chen everywhere, but he had never seen them greatly influence Mo Chen one way or the other.

Why was it that he had felt so nervous now that there was a post analyzing Wen Xi?

It had to be said that Wen Xi had a magic power. He was obviously very strong, but he always gave people a fragile feeling, which made people want to protect him instinctively.

After thinking it through, Chen Xiao looked at Liu Weizhe and said in surprise, “You’re not worried about Wen Xi at all?”

“Because he’s not weak, and—” Liu Weizhe laughed before continuing, “Isn’t there also Mo Chen?”

As soon as his voice fell, the plane flew over the mountain area. Wen Xi and Mo Chen jumped down at pretty much the same time. The other players also jumped down one after another, very obviously rushing after them.

“Wency and Mac jumped!“ A-Yi said excitedly, as if he had already seen the scene of two people slaughtering in all directions. “A lot of people followed after them in jumping down. It looks like the fighting in the mountain area will be very fierce ah!”

“It’s Momo,” Bunny Ji said, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry.

A-Yi had just corrected her, but his mouth was faster than his brain.

“Hahaha, yes, Momo.” A Yi was also amused by himself and said, “It’s really hard to get used to.”

While they were talking, Wen Xi turned his perspective and looked at the people who had jumped in the same area as him. He was a little surprised.

He had guessed that everyone might target him, but he didn’t expect it to be so blatant.

However, this scene was nothing when compared with the training match ah.

During the training match, there were at least 40 people who had jumped with him and Mo Chen to the same area. At the present, he roughly counted more than 30 of them.

Such a small scene was no problem.

.

After Wen Xi comforted himself a bit, he accelerated his descent and landed in what he thought was the best position.

He jumped early, so he landed early. As soon as he landed, he equipped his bow and shot an arrow at the person closest to him, who was the greatest threat!

On the screen, his character equipped and resolutely raised his bow, and pulled it back to shoot with seemingly almost no time to aim.

People watching the livestream felt that Wen Xi had accidentally loosed the arrow before aiming properly. They watched the arrow fly out and disappear from the screen.

Then, the arrow scored a headshot!

With a nice sound effect, a system prompt appeared on Wen Xi’s screen.

[System] CLM-Wency knocked down DOL-WAN with a headshot with a bow.

Seeing this prompt, the scene was silent for two seconds, before a high decibel scream broke out.

“AHHHHH HEADSHOT!”

“Holy shit, how did he do it?!”

“Awesome! Really awesome!”

Almost everyone felt that it was impossible to get a headshot when Wen Xi shot that arrow. After all, he had shot so hastily and casually that he didn’t even have the time to aim.

They had never thought that this seemingly casual arrow could crisply and cleanly score a headshot!

Seeing this scene, the casters also grew excited.

Bunny Ji exclaimed, “A headshot? It’s a headshot!!!”

A-Yi said, “A single arrow to score a headshot! Wency’s arrow directly knocked off WAN’s level 3 helmet! WAN’s reaction was very quick, and he used bandages immediately after he fell down. However, Wency has already switched to his sniper rifle and aimed at him. Can he finish off WAN before he gets up…. He finished him off! Wency successfully finished off WAN, taking the first kill of this match!”

A-Yi’s spoke very fast, but now matter how fast he talked, he actually couldn’t catch up to Wen Xi’s speed of finishing off WAN.

After Wen Xi changed to his sniper rifle, he failed to get a headshot, but it hit WAN’s throat, which directly emptied out his health and made him unable to rise again.

No one had expected that the first solo match of the spring competition would be so explosive. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly started to heat up, and the barrages on each platform’s livestreams changed and had a different flavor now.

——The MoXi CP fans disappeared, and the game fans crazily cried out!

[I’m on my fucking knees!]

[The archer assassin really exists!]

[My god, I even have goosebumps!]

Chen Xiao had been worried about Wen Xi, but now he suddenly felt that his previous self from a few minutes ago who was so nervous that he didn’t know what to do was like a mentally handicapped person.

Liu Weizhe, who was next to him, unconsciously tightened his fist for a moment. The excitement on his face quickly disappeared, and he soon regained his usual expression of disdaining everything.

On the screen, Wen Xi took WAN’s kill and left, quickly moving to another safe place as he began to search for his next prey.

According to the analysis post, his position could be judged based on the direction of the plume of the arrow—would Wen Xi not know about this?

The analysis post also pointed out that his gun-shooting was unstable and the cooldown time of his bow was too long—did Wen Xi need other people to remind him of this?

If you know yourself as well as your enemy, then you will be invincible.

No one knew Wen Xi’s weaknesses better than Wen Xi himself.

He had trained for so long, just to improve his overall ability and make himself stronger.

To improve his overall ability, it was important to know and compensate for his own weaknesses.

As a result, those who tried to besiege Wen Xi soon found—the analysis post was completely right, but targeting Wen Xi’s weaknesses and defeating him still wasn’t an easy matter.

Not to mention, there was also Mo Chen.

After Wen Xi killed two people in a row, the top right corner of the screen was quickly occupied by the ID Momo.

With a series of “headshot kills”, not even mentioning Wen Xi’s blood that was boiling, the casters and the audience were also amazed.

The director turned the camera towards Mo Chen, and all anyone could see was him expressionlessly wearing headphones. However, everyone could feel the terrible concentration from his sharp eyes, just like there were two fires burning there.

Mo Chen’s jumping point was pretty far away from Wen Xi. The mountain’s terrain dipped up and down, so his sniper rifle couldn’t aim at enemies near Wen Xi.

However, it was because of this that he and Wen Xi had encircled the area, and they began to clear the enemies who had jumped to the same area as them from two different directions.

“I guess that the players who jumped to the same area as Wency have begun to regret it,” Caster Bunny Ji said.

“Too terrifying!” Caster A-Yi couldn’t help but sigh, “I originally thought it was Wency and Momo who were surrounded by several teams, but I didn’t expect that it was them who have been surrounded by Wency and Momo!”

At this time, the players from YEY and MQ also got kills in other areas. However, both the commentators and the director were reluctant to move the camera from Wen Xi and Mo Chen, because their skills were so amazing.

As the distance between the two of them shrank, the number of people in the mountain area decreased at a terrible speed, until they finally appeared on each other’s screens.

But the way that it happened was a bit different.

In Mo Chen’s third-person perspective, he could see Wen Xi’s head, while no matter whether Wen Xi flipped between third-person perspective or first-person perspective, he could only see a shadow hidden behind the rock.

We Xi was the best at discovering shadows. Pretty much as soon as he discovered Mo Chen’s shadow, he shot an arrow at him!

[System] CLM-Wency knocked down CLM-Momo with a headshot with a bow.

“What?!” Caster A-Yi didn’t expect to see the two of them fighting each other and yelled out in surprise. He then remembered that he still had to provide commentary. “Wency headshotted and knocked down Momo with a single arrow. Was it a mistake?” After a pause, he said, “No, he shouldn’t be able to see Momo from that position. Could I please trouble the director to play back Wency’s perspective?”

Hearing this, the director tried to switch to the replay from Wen Xi’s perspective, but accidentally pressed the wrong key, and cut the camera over to Mo Chen himself outside the game.

At that moment, all the people at the scene saw—Mo Chen, who had never laughed on a competition site and had just been accidentally knocked down by Wen Xi, had subconsciously raised the corners of his lips, showing a gentle smile.
