Chapter 27 The Bet with Rita!
It's 10:30 p.m.
After the dinner, the EDG team returned to their base by bus.
As soon as he entered the door, the factory manager stretched and said, "I ate too much, so I won't be doing any ranked games tonight. I'm going to take a shower and review today's recordings. I'll start preparing for the match against WE tomorrow."
"I'm going to rest too," Scout said, rubbing his eyes.
Everyone looks tired.
Except for Lin Mo.
"I'm going to play some games." After saying that, Lin Mo rushed into the training room, plopped down in front of his own computer next to the water dispenser, and eagerly pressed the power button.
He was all too aware of the current online sentiment. After his own performance today, winning the semifinals with three absurd scores, his popularity was definitely off the charts!
In this era, traffic equals money!
If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to start a live stream and seize this windfall of wealth, wouldn't you be a complete fool?
What's more, he also wants to go to the top of the canyon to collect the 30,000 yuan bonus for that day!
The computer started up, and Lin Mo skillfully opened the backend of Huya Live.
As they are EDG's contracted players, each of them has an officially linked live stream room on Huya.
Lin Mo opened the live stream settings, thought for a moment, and immediately changed the title to—"LPL 100% Win Rate Top Laner! Aiming for Rank 1 in the Rift tonight! Sharing the ultimate secret to winning!"
After revising the title, Lin Mo took a deep breath and clicked "Start Live Stream"!
Within just a few seconds of the live stream screen lighting up, the popularity score of the live stream skyrocketed, soaring from tens to tens of thousands!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Mo's popularity had soared to 15.
A minute later, Lin Mo was stunned to see the live stream had 225 million views.
He had expected his performance today to generate a lot of buzz, but he didn't expect it to be this high!
In just one minute, the number of views exceeded two million, a level that is almost on par with top-tier streamers on Huya!
Of course, it wasn't just the popularity of the live stream that skyrocketed, but also the number of comments—
"Holy crap! That genius streamer is live!"
"Finally caught you! How the hell did you manage to deal 815 damage and still beat RNG today?!"
"I came here because of its reputation, to see the face of the biggest 'troll' in LPL history!"
"You actually dared to go live!"
"Hey streamer, how did you do that Garen push-up with one hand? Can you teach me? I want to learn!"
"He's definitely handsome, but he's a really bad player!"
"You dare claim to be aiming for number one in the Rift with that title? If you actually make it to number one, I'll eat my toilet!"
"My husband is so handsome!"
"Trying to act aloof by not saying anything?"
"..."
Seeing the barrage of comments on the screen, Lin Mo, finally realizing what was happening, spoke up:
"Good evening, everyone. I'm Mo, the top laner for EDG."
"I've noticed many people have opinions about my playing style today, so..."
"Since everyone thinks I'm just coasting today, fine, tonight I'll show you some real skills! I'll show you what the true value of a top LPL top laner is!"
Lin Mo launched into the microphone and started boasting wildly. The live stream chat was instantly filled with words like "shameless" and "shameless," maximizing the entertainment value.
He opened the League of Legends client, logged into his former Diamond IV account on the Chinese Super Server, and prepared to start playing ranked games to have some fun.
But just then, a pop-up notification appeared in the center of the screen: "[Commentator Rita requests a video call with you. Do you accept?]"
Lin Mo was quite surprised.
In this parallel world, Rita is also the "face of the LPL official commentary team," with countless male fans.
Why did she suddenly ask me to connect on video?
In my memory, my predecessor and Rita weren't exactly familiar; in fact, they were completely unrelated...
Lin Mo thought for a second, then immediately clicked "Accept".
drop!
As soon as the live stream connection was established, the screen in Lin Mo's live stream room instantly split in two.
Rita's image appeared on the right half of the screen.
On the screen, Rita is wearing a beige loose-fitting knit sweater.
The sweater's neckline was slightly large, inadvertently revealing one side of her delicate, fair collarbone, which shone brightly under the light.
Combined with her delicate oval face and big eyes, she looks extraordinary and gives people a feeling of "she smells so good".
Before Lin Mo could even speak, the chat in his live stream had already started buzzing—
"Holy crap! Rita's wife!"
"This is so beautiful!"
"Oh no! It's love at first sight! She's definitely my wife!"
"Wait, why is Rita even talking about Mozi?"
"..."
"Hello, hello~ Can you hear me?"
In the video, Rita leans close to the microphone, extends her fair hand, waves it at the camera, and speaks in a clear, crisp voice.
"I can hear you." Lin Mo nodded. "Good evening, Sister Ta Zi."
"Good evening, Mozi-ge," Rita said. "Is it okay if I call you that?"
"Yes, of course."
"Alright, I'll call you Brother Mo from now on." Rita smiled sweetly, though a strange feeling lingered in her heart.
Seeing Lin Mo always gave her a sense of comfort and warmth.
Objectively speaking, Mo is probably the most handsome player in the LPL right now.
The gameplay was a bit too abstract; it's hard to tell if it was genuine strategy or just pure luck that led to three easy wins...
"Sister Ta Zi, I've noticed you're acting a little strange today."
As Rita was thinking, Lin Mo's voice came to her ears again.
"Oh? What's strange about it?"
"So cute."
"puff……"
Rita couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Although it sounds a bit corny, who can resist being praised?
Just as she was about to speak, Lin Mo continued, "Sister Ta Zi, I'm about to play ranked matches on the Chinese Super Server. Do you want to duo queue together?"
"The top of the canyon... I'm afraid I can't beat it." Rita hesitated.
Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly reassured him, "What are you afraid of? I'm here."
"You??" Rita hesitated for a moment. "I'm not very good at this, you probably can't carry me."
Judging from Lin Mo's performance in today's game, even Rita doubts whether he can climb the ranks by himself, let alone carry her.
"How will we know if we don't try? Maybe we'll accidentally get ten consecutive wins tonight?"
"..." Rita smiled politely, "Brother Mozi, we're not joking. Right now, almost all professional players and top-ranked streamers are climbing the ranks on the Chinese Super Server. If we were to play together, we'd be lucky if we didn't get a ten-game losing streak."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo said, "How about we make a bet?"
"How do we gamble?"
"If we can win ten straight games, you'll grant me one reasonable request."
Rita thought for two seconds and nodded: "Okay, if we can't get ten consecutive wins, how about you treat me to a meal, Mozi?"
"It's a deal!"
After the two agreed, Rita opened the League of Legends client and started logging in.
At this moment, the chat in both live stream rooms was already boiling over:
"No way, Rita, you're just letting Mo profit anyway!"
"Sister Ta Zi, I'll treat you to ten meals, please don't gamble with him!"
"Holy crap, I have a bad feeling! Is Rita going to cheat on me?"
"..."
