Clown

The four-word comment looked plain and utterly calm.

After all, those four words had neither an emphatic exclamation mark nor a rhetorical question that could make the tone more forceful.

It seemed as though the person who posted them had simply tapped on the keyboard and sent them out with perfect nonchalance.

The loyal Royal Hooligans who had swarmed over like locusts all felt that way at first.

But the next second, they flew into a rage!

What the hell was this?!

What nonsense was that damned ungrateful bastard spouting now?!

They had not forgotten why they had all rushed over in the first place: to mock Xu Junyan, to ridicule and roast him mercilessly.

But that ungrateful bastard Xu Junyan had posted such an inexplicable Weibo ahead of time. What was he trying to say?

'Told you already, get lost.'

Huh? That was hilarious! In this context, he was obviously replying to RNG's previous Weibo callout, wasn't he?

"HAHAHAHA! I'm fucking dying, I can't stop laughing! Ungrateful bastard, please get out of bed already. Stop dreaming and living in your fantasies!"

"Oh no! Did we roast Match-Fixer Bro so hard that he really lost his mind? What if he actually thinks he's the legendary minnaaQAQ?"

"Oh my god! Hurry! Someone call a mental hospital! Or can somebody piss on Match-Fixer Bro's head and wake him up already?!"

"I told you, the ungrateful bastard has gone crazy with envy and jealousy. He's especially jealous of the legendary minnaaQAQ, whom RNG is sincerely inviting across the entire internet. So it's normal for him to go insane with jealousy and lose his mind, right? /side-eye smile"

"All I can say is that people like him are truly disgusting. He brought this on himself, disgusted everyone, got fired by RNG, and now he doesn't want anyone else to do well either."

"Exactly! But what can he do by talking nonsense? Surely no one actually thinks the legendary minnaaQAQ will believe whatever he says, right?"

"A match-fixer like him will never reach Rank 1 on the Korean server in his lifetime. Pah! He's not even good enough for top ten, or even top one hundred~"

"So who the hell gave him the courage to talk in that tone? 'Told you already, get lost.' Hahaha, I'm laughing my ass off!"

"Trying to act cool only to get brutally slapped in the face by the whole internet. Match-Fixer Bro, that's so you. Congratulations, you successfully made me laugh out loud today. /sweating bean"

"..."

In the blink of an eye, another several hundred, then several thousand comments flooded in.

Just as the comment count officially broke through five thousand, a very familiar ID suddenly appeared in the comment section beneath the post.

RNG Esports Official Weibo!

RNG's official account had entered the fray.

It commented beneath the post:

Though things have changed and people are no longer the same, no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. Let bygones be bygones; we should put down the past and look toward the future. The future is beautiful. Mud Monster hopes everyone's future goes smoothly, and also hopes player Silence can emerge from the shadows in his heart as soon as possible. Though we cannot continue working together due to certain reasons, Mud Monster sincerely hopes player Silence can rise again! Perhaps in the future, player Silence may once again become Mud Monster's adorable little fan~ /cute /cute

This comment was something else. It dealt an absolutely devastating blow to the little Royal Hooligans, whose brains were not particularly sharp to begin with!

"The most humane club in the world!"

"They still care about a player like that ungrateful bastard. I'm seriously going to cry, RNG is fucking awesome!"

"This is the club I support! I'm proud!!"

"Look at RNG's magnanimity, then look at Match-Fixer Bro. His narrow-mindedness is downright nauseating!"

"Exactly! Even now, RNG is wishing Match-Fixer Bro all the best in the future. But what does Match-Fixer Bro do? He tells minnaaQAQ not to join RNG, hahaha!"

"Someone like him doesn't deserve sympathy! Go die!"

"Exactly! But it doesn't matter anyway. The legendary minnaaQAQ will never care about trash like him~"

"..."

Ding!!

Just as all the Royal Hooligans were moved to tears by their masters at RNG's magnanimity and once again furiously cursing Xu Junyan, another Weibo update notification arrived.

Silence Xu Junyan updated his post.

Not getting lost?

Two words.

But this time, attached after those two words was an image that all of RNG's diehard fans and bootlicking fans could not accept.

It was the client career profile of minnaaQAQ, whom they had only started wildly praising over the past two days!

The name was unmistakably minnaaQAQ, the one they had been calling on the entire internet to find. Rating: 2781. The undisputed Rank 1 on the Korean server!!

In that instant, countless Royal Hooligans throughout the entire LPL, whose faces had previously worn expressions of mockery, ridicule, disdain, or sneers, all froze stiff.

They could not believe it!

They could not accept it!

The sheer absurdity of the matter even gave rise to a deep sense of shame in their hearts!

That shame, that intense humiliation, instantly turned their faces bright red, and every muscle in their bodies tensed sharply.

They could no longer laugh. They could no longer enjoy themselves. Their eyelids began twitching wildly at that very moment.

What the hell was this?!

For the past few days, they had been calling across the entire internet for the legendary minnaaQAQ while lavishing him with praise, treating him as an idol and a faith, endlessly boasting about how amazing he was.

At the same time, they had never forgotten to run beneath Xu Junyan's Weibo posts and mock him in every possible way, ridiculing him relentlessly.

Most crucially, they had even deliberately used minnaaQAQ and Rank 1 on the Korean server as examples, constantly comparing them with Xu Junyan, the so-called Match-Fixer Bro. Back then, they had felt smug and delighted, certain that they had severely provoked Xu Junyan.

Just moments ago, they had even continued using minnaaQAQ to mock Xu Junyan for overestimating himself and dreaming in broad daylight.

RNG's official Weibo was no better. To express their sincerity, they had even publicly humbled themselves, calling themselves lowly and shamelessly saying, 'This humble one awaits the legendary minnaaQAQ's arrival'?!

The commotion had been so massive that it had stayed on Weibo's trending list for a long time. Players and non-players alike had all seen it.

But now, a glaring reality suddenly told them that minnaaQAQ and Xu Junyan were actually the same person!

MinnaaQAQ was Xu Junyan's Korean server account! And Xu Junyan had used that very account to climb to Rank 1 on the Korean server in just over a month, with a win rate close to 90%!

Ding!

Silence Xu Junyan's Weibo updated again.

This time, it was just as concise as before. Two words again.

Clowns.

It was still a period rather than an exclamation mark, still a statement rather than an emphatic exclamation.

Yet with that double meaning, he called out both RNG's diehard fans and RNG itself. Though it was merely a statement, its force was so intense it made people tremble all over.

Shame! An unprecedented sense of humiliation spread through all the Royal Hooligans with terrifying speed.

Though they were separated by the internet and scattered across the country, their faces looked strikingly identical—red as could be, from the roots of their necks all the way to their faces!

They had made such a massive blunder and utterly embarrassed themselves before the entire nation!!

Their bodies trembled. They were furious beyond measure. They were so enraged they wanted to kill someone. Every one of them was nearly driven mad with rage! In their hearts, they hated Xu Junyan utterly and completely, their eyes wild with fury.

Because of that, there was astonishingly not a single comment beneath Xu Junyan's Weibo post titled "Clowns," whose content was also "Clowns," for an entire minute.

However, at one minute and one second, a Royal Hooligan finally could not hold back any longer. Forcing a sneer, he retorted:

"You say it's your account, so it must be yours? Give it a rest, Match-Fixer Bro. No idea how you got this screenshot, but what isn't yours will never be yours, understand? /sweating bean /sweating bean"
