Damn!

The Royal Hooligans, whose morale had been utterly crushed by Xu Junyan's two thunderous blows and were practically dizzy with defeat, suddenly lit up when they saw this comment. Hope returned, and they started barking again.

"That's right! You say it's your account, so it's yours? What a joke!"

"The great minnaaQAQ reached Rank 1 on the Korean server with a 90% win rate. What the hell are you?"

"Haha! I almost got fooled by this match-fixing fraud. Exactly—he'd have to risk his life to reach Rank 1 on the Korean server!"

"He got hold of one lousy screenshot and came here pretending to be impressive. What an idiot! Wake up, ungrateful bastard, this obviously isn't you!"

"..."

Ding!

Silence Xu Junyan had updated his Weibo again.

Countless Royal Hooligans were following and participating in this war, and plenty of onlookers were enjoying the spectacle. At that moment, though, everyone tensed up and stared wide-eyed.

A new post.

Yes, "What isn't yours will never be yours" was very well said. Just like your RNG—because you're useless, the most you can get is a hypothetical championship. After all, championships are things that, if they aren't yours, will never be yours. All you can do is run your mouths. What else can you do? Actually win one? You can't. You don't have what it takes.

As for proving myself, am I really that bored? I'll only say this once. There's no need for me to explain too much to a trash club and its trash fans, because trash will ultimately prefer living in the fantasy world they made up for themselves.

All right, I've said all I had to say today. Little Royal Hooligans, and that certain trash club secretly watching from behind the scenes—get lost. /waves

That Weibo post called them trash and little Royal Hooligans every other word, its sarcastic bite maxed out!

The Royal Hooligans, who had been eagerly waiting for Xu Junyan to panic after his lie was exposed, suddenly became the ones panicking first!

They had already been left red-faced and furious by Xu Junyan's few words earlier. Now, they were utterly enraged!

Overcome with rage, they flooded the comments beneath his post.

"He's feeling guilty! Hahaha! He's feeling guilty! I knew that account wasn't his! This is hilarious!"

"Not daring to answer directly? I'm dying laughing! If you feel guilty, just say so! Like I said, how could a match-fixing fraud possibly reach Rank 1 on the Korean server?"

"Fuck! Who are you calling championshipless? Who are you calling hypothetical champions? If it weren't for you, our RNG would have won S7 long ago! You owe RNG a championship, understand?"

"Who are you calling trash? You're the fucking trash!"

"Brothers, he's scared. Listen to me—let's push this post straight onto Weibo's trending list and make sure brother minnaaQAQ sees it. Then we can expose that ungrateful bastard's lie!"

"Agreed!"

"I'm in!"

"+1, +1! I want this ungrateful bastard dead!"

"He really deserves to die!!!"

"..."

The Royal Hooligans' ability to take action had always been terrifying. Whenever they wanted to swarm someone they disliked, they were like a plague of locusts. This time, they pushed the post onto the trending list at an equally absurd speed.

In their minds, Xu Junyan was definitely feeling guilty. Otherwise, why would he suddenly back down and stop trading insults with them after gaining the upper hand?

He was obviously scared!

Scared that he had bragged too much and would really provoke minnaaQAQ himself into coming out and slapping him in the face!

The Royal Hooligans all thought this with great confidence. In just one hour, the post had been pushed into the top three trending topics. More and more Royal Hooligans arrived after hearing the news, leaving angry comments as they waited to watch the show.

They even created a second trending topic and pushed it into the top five as well: A bounty across the internet—seeking information related to 'minnaaQAQ.'

But! Another hour passed, and there was no movement.

Three hours passed, and there was still no movement.

Five hours passed, and there was still no movement!

Seven hours passed, and it was still the same!

Finally, one Royal Hooligan who could no longer sit still gritted his teeth and reminded everyone on Weibo, "Could it be that the great minnaaQAQ is Korean? Even though he has typed in Chinese before, plenty of Koreans can speak Chinese these days, right?"

The Royal Hooligans, who had nearly fallen into despair and humiliation, seemed to find a new path to survival. Like a swarm of locusts, they rushed over to Korean Ins and pushed another trending topic: searching the entire internet for information related to minnaaQAQ. They had completely lost their minds, determined to fight Xu Junyan to the death!

Just like that, a full day passed quietly, yet nothing came from the Korean internet either.

The Royal Hooligans were almost desperate.

They couldn't find minnaaQAQ's real identity domestically, nor could they find it on the Korean internet.

Up to that point, minnaaQAQ's only appearance on a public platform was still in Xu Junyan's Weibo post. Could it really be him?...

"There's news! There's news! The neighboring region has some news! It seems a well-known host said she knows!"

After waiting day and night, the red-eyed Royal Hooligans, like rabid dogs, nearly wept with joy. Excitedly, they pounced on Korean Ins again, not forgetting to comment under Xu Junyan's Weibo on the way: Just wait to die!

On Korean Ins, those Royal Hooligans, like vicious ghosts, followed every clue and accurately swarmed beneath the account of a host named 'Kim Min-ah QAQ.'

When they saw that this host's name also contained the words Min-ah, they became even more excited!

They had found her! They had finally found her! Heaven rewarded the diligent—they could finally go back and viciously mock that trash Xu Junyan!

"So he really stole someone else's picture! /sweating emoji"

"Stole? You think too highly of him. How could trash like him possibly be qualified to know the great minnaaQAQ?"

"Haha! Exactly! He's just a match-fixing dog! He even fell out with such an outstanding club as RNG—who would bother with him?"

"I'm dying laughing! He won't be able to keep jumping around much longer. He likes stealing pictures, right? We'll crush him!"

"If we expose this picture-stealing incident, that ungrateful bastard probably won't be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life, right? /smirking emoji"

"That's a good thing! I want him dead right now! The farther away he dies, the better! Don't come out and disgust people again!"

"Beautiful! Well said! If you can talk, then talk more!"

"..."

The Royal Hooligans who had swarmed in were overflowing with excitement. Before doing anything else, they viciously cursed Xu Junyan beneath the Ins post, only then beginning to wonder.

What was going on?

This was definitely the right place.

Less than an hour ago, this LCK host named Kim Min-ah had indeed reposted and commented on the trending topic they had created on the Korean internet.

Her comment was: Ah! I think I know this ID. Let me confirm whether it is him...

She had been confirming for over an hour already. Was she still not done? What was going on?

More and more Royal Hooligans gathered there. Finally, two hours later, Kim Min-ah's Ins updated again.

It really was him. This was the account I helped Junyan Oppa register some time ago. I didn't expect Junyan Oppa to be this popular now. Not only did he reach Rank 1 on the server, he even made it to third place on Ins's trending list. Amazing! /fighting~fist

Kim Min-ah had posted in Korean, but since these Royal Hooligans had made it onto Korean Ins, they naturally knew how to translate the text. Or they could simply copy and paste it into a browser translator.

After translating it, the Royal Hooligans, who had been brimming with passion and smug delight just moments ago, suddenly fell silent.

Their eyes fixed on the four words "Junyan Oppa," staring and staring. Their silence was unprecedented, like dead dogs.

The most terrifying part was that, when they returned one by one, gritting their teeth, crazed with hatred, humiliation, and fury, they slunk back in disgrace.

On Weibo, Silence Xu Junyan updated again.

Pfft! Today, I went out and saw those dumb dogs next door—the ones who do nothing all day except bark—lining up to smash themselves into a tree and die. They really are so stupid, hahaha!

One sentence. Absolute massacre!!
