In just a few minutes, the male lead and Wang Yang had both gotten dressed.
Sun Bo, having discovered he had been cheated on, was furious. He rushed forward and started brawling with the male lead he had personally chosen.
The screenwriter, who had originally stood silently among the crowd, suddenly sprang into action and joined in beating up the male lead.
The three of them became a tangled mess, throwing punches and kicks and even biting each other. It was utterly undignified.
As Wang Yang frantically buttoned his shirt, he screamed, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Don't hit his face!"
Sun Bo, who had just jumped up and punched the male lead, turned green with rage. In a fit of fury, he grabbed the hammer he had used to smash down the door and swung it.
Wang Yang let out a piercing shriek. No longer caring about anything else, he hurriedly rushed over and shielded the male lead.
Sun Bo was startled and tried to pull back, but it was already too late.
At the crucial moment, the screenwriter shoved him from the side. Carried by the force of the hammer, Sun Bo slammed into the wall, his nose bleeding profusely.
Having narrowly escaped death, the male lead was filled with vicious rage. He grabbed a chair and smashed it at Sun Bo.
Bang.
After a short, deafening crash, Sun Bo collapsed to the floor, his fate unknown.
"Ah—"
Wang Yang's scream cracked as he trembled in terror, his legs giving out beneath him as he fell to the floor.
The onlookers, who had been thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, were startled as well and hurried over to check on the director.
In the end, the farce came to a close with the police arriving and taking away the male lead, Wang Yang, the screenwriter, and the others, while Sun Bo was carted off by an ambulance.
Chu Tian had enjoyed the drama to his heart's content and could not stop marveling at it.
The original story had only glossed over this farce. Who could have imagined it would be this exciting to witness in person?
He had to thank Tian Qianqian. If she had not suggested that he do livestreams to give back to his fans, he would never have thought to bring everyone to visit the set... Wait!
Chu Tian suddenly jerked around. Not far behind him, Little Huang dutifully held up the selfie stick, keeping the camera steadily aimed at him.
A bolt from the blue!
Two words flashed through Chu Tian's mind—It's over!!
The "Wang Po" label he had never managed to shake off was probably going to become even more firmly attached to him now!
Chu Tian did not even need to look at the livestream chat to guess the chaos unfolding inside it.
He squeezed his eyes shut, then slowly turned his head as if his neck had rusted, leaving the viewers with nothing but the back of his head.
As long as he did not look, he could pretend nothing had happened... a new-century version of burying his head in the sand.
Unfortunately, this was not something he could ignore just by playing ostrich. Modern netizens spread gossip at lightning speed, and before the livestream had even ended, it had already shot onto the trending searches.
Wu Hui, who had only been idle for two days, urgently handled the PR work and gained a whole new understanding of Chu Tian's talent for causing trouble.
Humanity could not resist the temptation of gossip. All sorts of people came to Chu Tian seeking more inside information, and messages nearly flooded his phone to bursting.
After reflecting painfully on the matter, Chu Tian decided this had been another failed livestream case.
To stop himself from continuing down the path of becoming a paparazzi-style marketing account, Chu Tian decided to change up his livestream content.
This time, he would not leave the hotel. He would just stay inside and livestream himself playing games. He refused to believe anything could still go wrong!
When Tian Qianqian heard about his plan, she happily invited him to livestream games with her, claiming she would teach him how to manage the flow of a livestream.
Chu Tian believed her, and also dragged in Zhou Han, who was bored out of his mind, for a three-player queue.
Chu Tian's two livestreams had completely made him famous. Even many people who did not know him had heard of his exploits.
As a result, viewers poured in the moment the new livestream began. Within a short time, the audience count reached a terrifying number, while the comments were filled with people asking what gossip Chu Tian would be bringing them today.
Chu Tian's expression went blank, cold and merciless.
"What gossip? What are you talking about? I don't understand. Please don't discuss unrelated matters in my livestream. Today, I'm a gaming streamer. Thank you."
As soon as Chu Tian finished speaking, he eagerly opened ranked mode and invited his friends. Their three-man squad immediately set off.
"Hello, hello, can you hear me?" Tian Qianqian cleared her throat and turned on the team voice chat. "Sweetie, did you miss your big sister?"
"I'm livestreaming. Don't talk nonsense," Chu Tian said solemnly. "People will misunderstand."
"Misunderstand what?" Tian Qianqian laughed wildly. "With how much you look like a total bottom, are you afraid people will misunderstand the sisterly bond between us?"
"..." Chu Tian said, "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Zhou Han, who had looked like a salted fish just moments ago, instantly perked up at the sound of a girl's voice. "Wow, a girl! Your voice is so nice!"
"Thanks, thanks," Tian Qianqian replied politely. "Your voice sounds really nice too. I can tell right away that you must be an absolute hottie."
Zhou Han became wildly excited. He and Tian Qianqian traded exaggerated compliments back and forth like they were performing a comic dialogue.
Chu Tian said nothing. While they were not paying attention, he swiftly locked in jungle.
Tian Qianqian immediately became alert. "Sweetie, what are you doing?"
"I'm not doing anything," Chu Tian reassured her in a serious tone. "Don't panic. Just wait for me to carry the whole match!"
Seeing how confident he sounded, Tian Qianqian hesitantly picked mage and prepared a backup plan—if Chu Tian could not handle it, she would turn the tide herself!
Zhou Han was left with the final slot. All the damage roles had been taken, so he could only grudgingly choose support.
Their three-player journey to lose rank began amid a chorus of shrieking and howling.
Chu Tian was extremely confident in his ability to carry five people by himself. He stubbornly claimed the jungle role every match, only for the enemy to seize his jungle or ambush him while he roamed. He was suppressed so badly that his gold was at one point nearly lower than the support's.
Tian Qianqian was equally unwilling to admit defeat. Convinced that Chu Tian was unreliable, she believed her mage could reverse the situation in desperate circumstances—only to be pinned beneath her tower by the enemy mage, unable to leave. The moment she forced her way out, she was sent straight back to the respawn point.
Zhou Han was even more of a character. Though he played support, he had the heart of a damage dealer. During team fights, not only did he fail to protect the damage dealers, but he also charged in to basic attack enemies and steal kills.
Whenever they were being chased while low on health, he used the support's speed boost and ran even faster than the damage dealers.
With these three hopeless cases together, their rank plummeted rapidly.
"My blue buff, my blue buff! It's bad enough that you're a mage who won't help me watch the jungle, but you're stealing my blue buff too!"
"Ahhh, help! Support, are you sleepwalking? You actually hid in the bushes and watched them dive my tower and kill me?"
"Can you two do anything right? I told you to let me play damage! If we keep losing like this, we'll fall all the way to Gold!"
"..."
The three of them were beaten so badly in the game that they fled in panic, looking utterly miserable.
The fans had not expected watching terrible players game to be this entertaining. For a time, the livestream became a sea of laughter.
Just as Chu Tian's screen turned gray once again, there came a soft knock at the hotel room door.
"Who is it?"
Chu Tian was brimming with resentment. He put down his phone and went to open the door with a green face, then froze.
"Y-you, why are you here?" Chu Tian stammered. "Is something wrong?"
