Chapter 96: Jian Rong felt like he was about to leave the earth.
Thank you to L and Ko-Fi Supporter for the Ko-fis!
Ding-ge's texts came in like an avalanche. Finally, when he truly couldn't convey his emotions through his messages anymore, he directly called Lu Boyuan.
Lu Boyuan cleared some monsters and recalled to base before he answered the call.
"Mn.
"I'm marketing the merch. The water friends are reacting pretty well.
"We crashed cars, so I was just chatting a bit... coming back this afternoon? Weren't you going to stay overnight? Up to you, safe travels."
His voice was calm, as if the person on the other end was telling him "there's a clear and boundless sky in Beijing today I kind of miss you." However, in reality, each one of Ding-ge's sentences contained up to three "fucks."
[Hahahahahaha Ding-ge's so loud I can hear him even without speaker mode]
[Thankfully Ding-ge wasn't watching Soft's stream, or else he could've taken flight on the spot and flown back to Shanghai with how pissed off he would've been by the words typed in the chat box.]
[Damn, I never expected that God Lu would speak up... I've never seen God Lu insult someone in a public setting before.]
[That host from last time...?]
[At the most, he was just calling him out, it can't be considered an insult. But... the reason he called out the host last time was because the host was stirring up drama about Soft, while this time, it's because Rish mocked Soft. This...]
[Is it not because that dumbass was mocking the LPL this time?]
[Stop talking stop talking, it's my dumbass son's fault, femme fatale!]
[Someone just told me to my face that HT was amazing. I beat him up to the point he had to go to the hospital, did I do it right, my bros?]
[It's true that internally, HT looks down on the LPL, including the team's staff. Even Master frequently ridicules the LPL publicly in interviews. There's probably something really wrong with the heads of the people who are still fans of this kind of team.]
Ever since Lu Boyuan joined the LPL, he had never once openly mocked another pro player before. When he was in the prime of his youth, he had felt like it was beneath him to do such a thing, while now, there was no need for him to.
Which was why after XIU heard Savior's translation, he asked two consecutive questions—"did he really say that?" and "did you just blindly translate for me do you know what trash means?"—before he stopped next to the second tower in shock and typed—
[XIUXIUXIU: Bro?]
Naturally, when XIU heard what Rish had said, he was also angry. But perhaps since he had been in a team made up of Korean import players for a long time and had been extensively flamed as a "Korean team" before, he was already immune to it. What's more, speaking rudely for the sake of a dumbass, giving antis more material for no good reason, and perhaps even having to eat a penalty—no matter how you looked at it, there was nothing to gain.
Lu Boyuan glanced at XIU's message. He was about to say something when Rish started going at it again.
[Rish: Ge, good afternoon, no need to insult someone.]
In all the other competitive leagues, Lu Boyuan was the most popular pro player from the LPL. When he went to Korea to compete before, mass amounts of Lu Boyuan's support banners could be found in the audience, even in the home stadiums of those top tier Korean teams.
