"Uh, it's fine, as long as it's not vodka."
A mouthful of wine didn't have much alcohol content. If it were vodka, Chu Ran would probably perform drunken boxing for countless viewers as soon as he stepped onto the stage.
However, if this item were given to Imp, he would probably be ecstatic.
If drinking before a match made you stronger, he'd be thrilled to death.
Putting his worries aside, Chu Ran immediately browsed Kangba and Hupu, discovering that many netizens were discussing his Fiora performance today.
"How do you evaluate Easy's Fiora?"
"Can this Fiora be considered the LPL's number one Fiora?"
"Today, Easy's Fiora, what score do you give it? Let's discuss rationally, no exaggeration, no downplaying."
Clicking on any of them, he found both praise and insults.
Of course, there were more insults. The power of the Royal Hooligans was truly immense.
Snake lost the match today, not only facing bombardment from their own fans but also suffering destruction from the Royal Hooligans. Zz1tai and Snake's official accounts were both scolded into issuing apologies.
There was no choice; if they didn't apologize promptly, they would be stripped of their nationality.
[Single-player Baidu Tieba, won't you just start by stroking it?]
[Why are there pig-headed fans everywhere? Are you here to promote your daddy again?]
[Stop blowing smoke, what the hell are you praising? One Fiora game makes her the LPL's number one Fiora, right?]
[Do you want to see who he's playing against? What trash is this? Zz1tai's top lane, those who know, know. He's just a stray dog by the roadside.]
[The fish was hooked, but your mom is gone.]
[Are you willing to sacrifice your entire family for experience points?]
[Already starting to predict the future? Can you beat Jinoo the day after tomorrow?]
[A new Fiora god? Does Ran Chu even qualify?]
[Those who praise Ran Chu, their affiliations are well understood.]
Although the insults were vulgar, Chu Ran read them with great interest until Pawn suddenly sent a duo queue invitation.
"Xiao Ran, let's duo."
"Turn on the stream."
Hearing Pawn and Abu, Chu Ran put down his phone and quickly started his stream.
After his debut stream last time, his channel's followers were about to break the 100,000 mark. Many viewers who had previously been "burning incense" in his offline stream were startled to see Chu Ran's handsome face.
[Holy crap? Suddenly resurrected?]
[Quick, notify the demolition squad, Ran Chu is streaming.]
[I specifically got a badge today to learn the art of insulting family trees. Today, I'm going to spray so hard that Ran Chu's stream will lose its little pearls.]
As soon as the stream started, the popularity continued to rise. Chu Ran was also thinking about how to create some excitement.
After all, streaming without creating excitement is like not streaming at all!
The club's operations staff were all watching his stream data.
For a moment, Chu Ran left his seat and whispered a few words to the operations staff, which made her face turn pale.
"Don't worry, the traffic will explode tonight! Everything will be fine. I'll have Abu give you overtime pay later."
"Look, I get traffic from my stream, and you get overtime pay. Isn't it a win-win?"
After being "convinced" by Chu Ran, the operations staff finally nodded.
At this moment, at the LGD club base.
Godv and the others, with nothing to do, suddenly clicked on Chu Ran's stream to watch.
"Pfft pfft, not going drinking today?"
"Not drinking anymore. I'm training hard these days." Imp gritted his teeth. "We're playing EDG in a few days, and I want to have a go against Deft."
"You're watching Ran Chu?"
Godv was surprised. "Pfft pfft, your affiliations are very complicated. Someone even praised you before, saying you were Uzi's second godfather, yet you call him Ran Chu."
"Tch~" Imp waved his hand, looking dejected. "Why should Deft be the first godfather?"
Pfft
Instantly, the entire LGD club was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"Chen You!"
Hearing Imp call him, Jinoo turned around. "What?"
"Can you beat Ran Chu in the top lane when the time comes?"
Jinoo thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded. "It shouldn't be a big problem."
"That's good." Imp suddenly shouted, "When the time comes, I'm going to stomp Deft! Stomp Deft! Annihilate him!"
He originally thought he wouldn't get to face Deft this year, but he never expected Deft to stay in the LPL. When Imp heard the news, he stayed up all night—
And drank three bottles straight!
As they were chatting, Chu Ran's stream suddenly went black for a while. After about ten minutes, it came back online.
The moment it did, Godv and many viewers in the chat were stunned.
On the stream, Chu Ran was wearing a pink headset, his expression extremely serious.
"Brothers, today I'm duo-queuing with Fatty General while wearing this pink headset. I'm not saying much, but wearing this headset makes me feel so much younger. When I have money, I'm definitely getting a custom-made pink headset that glows!"
"6666." Godv spat out his water, "Is he hinting at something?"
Ping Ye Ling slid over on his chair and exclaimed, "You call that hinting? That's practically a direct announcement! Who else in the entire LPL wears pink headphones?"
"Pink headphones that glow? This guy has too much game. Is he Ming Kai's star disciple?" Eimy laughed out loud.
At this moment, Chu Ran's stream exploded with popularity. The bullet comments rolled in endlessly, and some of the Imperial fans who were hesitant to show their support immediately did so, launching attacks on Chu Ran.
[Ran-beast! Wait for you in EDG, I'll go stab you to death in EDG!]
[No, how can EDG have such an uncouth player? Can the officials disqualify him?]
[Hahahaha~ I'm about to die laughing, he really looks like him! Exactly the same!]
[Wearing pink headphones instantly makes him younger. Is this guy hinting that Godv is a giant baby?]
[I don't even know why the Imperial fans are so anxious. It's not like wearing pink headphones is Godv's patent, right?]
[Damn, Godv has quite a few patents. He must be rich from them.]
[The LPL also has a great inventor!]
At the EDG club, Abu, Ming Kai, and the others looked at the scene with utter disbelief.
Was this what Chu Ran was fiddling with when he turned off his stream earlier?
Genius!
A once-in-a-century genius.
Ming Kai smacked his lips, "Abu, I think I often feel out of place because I'm not abstract enough."
"Me too."
At this moment, Chu Ran couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the tidal wave of comments in his stream. "What are you guys talking about? Me looking like a giant baby? Am I the only one in the LPL wearing pink headphones? Why are you all picking on me!"
Chu Ran's expression turned a bit ferocious, and coupled with his low growl, it caused his stream's popularity to rise again. The Imperial fans were even more furious.
At the RNG club base, Uzi pounded the table again, gritting his teeth in anger.
"This guy is just a clown trying to get attention." Uzi deeply agreed with Xiao Hu's words, but as he was about to close the stream, he saw the comment 'What's the water temperature for Uzi's shower today?' His chubby face instantly flushed red.
He switched from pounding the table to pounding Xiao Hu's thigh.
After bantering with the viewers for a while, Chu Ran entered the game. This match, he was playing as Graves jungle. Unfortunately, the top lane position had already been taken.
At the same time, at the LGD club, Godv and the others were roaring with laughter, their faces flushed red.
"Watching his stream is really entertaining, but I have a bad feeling about this."
"Indeed, I think I do too." Imp nodded.
As they were talking, Pan Jie appeared with a serious expression. "What are you guys laughing at? Aren't you training? Don't you know how poorly the club performed last year? If you don't get results in the new season, you'll have to deal with the consequences yourselves."
After speaking, she heard Chu Ran's voice again. Because Godv and the others were watching together, the headset volume was turned up to maximum, like a speaker playing out loud.
"Kai Ge! What should Graves build?"
"AP!"
"What? Randuin's? Damn it, are you trying to mess with me? Does anyone actually build Randuin's on Graves! The enemy team is almost all AP!"
Boom~
Chu Ran's words were like a thunderclap out of nowhere. Ming Kai spat out the water he was drinking, and he and Abu exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
"Did I not speak clearly just now?" Ming Kai was stunned.
"I don't know." Abu opened his mouth, his expression terrified.
On the other side, in the LGD training room, the smiles on Godv and the others' faces vanished instantly. Pan Jie's already cold expression turned completely grim, like dark clouds gathering.
"What does this guy mean? Is he mocking us LGD?" Pan Jie asked angrily.
At this moment, the faces of the optimistic family fans, who had been watching Chu Ran's stream sporadically, instantly froze. They immediately started showing their support and igniting a war.
[?????????]
[Holy crap! I'm genuinely stunned. Where did EDG dig this guy up from?]
[How dare you! You don't fear death! You dare to provoke the optimistic family.]
[Hahahaha, my god, genius! A true genius!]
[Bro, are you doing this on purpose or by accident? Did Factory Director just say Randuin's?]
[I don't know, but I only know that there really is a player who builds Randuin's on Graves in competitive matches.]
["Chu Ran, are you an orphan? Just tell me, are you an orphan?"]
["It's been a whole year, and you're still bringing up old stuff. Chu Ran, are you sick?"]
["Sick? Have you ever been to the World Championship? Taobao Quan at least contributed to the LPL. It's one thing not to respect him, but to use him for entertainment value? Aren't you a beast?"]
["The LPL is truly rotten. No matter what, he's your senior, Chu Ran. Are you supposed to make fun of him?"]
["What are you waiting for? I've already reported you anyway."]
Instantly, as the news spread, countless fans of the "Optimistic Family" flooded Chu Ran's livestream.
The EDG operations team, seeing the explosive popularity, was shocked by Chu Ran's livestreaming performance, but also filled with dread.
They'd have to pull another all-nighter.
Immediately, they created a new account and posted a bullet comment.
"Chu Ran, it's one thing to attack Uzi, I admire you for being brave, but it's been so long since the LGD incident, and you're still talking about it. Consider this few dollars a tip from me. You're just a clown who only rides on hype!"
Seeing this, Meiko and the others were stunned. Mosue patted his face and asked Meiko, "Can you stream like this?"
"I guess... you can?" Meiko's scalp tingled. He felt like he'd never be able to pull off such a move in his life.
Looking at the dense stream of bullet comments, Chu Ran's face showed a hint of pure innocence. "Kai Ge, are you sure you're not tricking me? Boots, Randuin's Omen, for Evelynn? Is that even humanly possible?"
Then, Chu Ran's eyes shifted, and he was instantly startled. "No, where did all these haters come from? What am I implying to you guys?"
"I'm implying LGD. Back then, Taobao Quan built Boots and Randuin's Omen on Evelynn."
"Holy crap, someone actually built Evelynn like that, and in the World Championship? Are they even human?"
After a moment of surprise, Chu Ran quickly shook his head and denied it. "I didn't, don't talk nonsense, don't stir up trouble, I'm not implying anything, you're slandering me, you're slandering me! Where are the lawyers! I've forgotten about the S5 matches, I wouldn't have remembered if you guys hadn't said anything. I only remember the Fire Man forging iron and the reverse arrow."
As Chu Ran finished speaking, the livestream's popularity soared to the heavens, and countless viewers looking for entertainment, as well as viewers from other factions, flooded in.
Godv and the others saw this, and their smiles completely vanished. Pan Jie exuded a terrifyingly cold aura.
"I hope EDG loses the game the day after tomorrow, understand? How you do it is your problem."
"Damn it! This guy is really asking for it. Tribe Leader, watch me crush him then." Eimy vowed confidently.
Imp also looked at Pingye Ling next to him. "Chen Bo, don't screw me over then."
"Isn't it Chen You who wants to crush this bastard Chu Ran?"
"Don't worry, we'll definitely win." Jinoo patted his chest.
And just then, the screen of Chu Ran's livestream suddenly changed. The previously failed settlement screen suddenly turned into a game launch interface.
Then, several large characters clearly appeared before countless viewers' eyes – Tianya Mingyue Dao!
"No! Which bastard installed this game on my computer! Isn't this going to harm me?"
"Believe me, I've never played it for even a second!"
