The following day was the first day of August.
On the Douyin short video platform, aside from the top trending topic "[Celebrating the August 1st Army Day]", the most popular and widely viewed topic is undoubtedly "[The 10th Overlord Feast ]" in the gaming section!
Related videos sprang up like mushrooms after rain, surging with tens of thousands of likes per hour. The most liked video was the list of challengers released by the organizers of the Overlord Feast!
Random players: Gu Shi (10-time national server marksman), Zongshi (currently the top jungler), Xiaoqi (9-time national server mid laner with rank 134), Qianmo (national server top laner), Ashui (national server Yao Da Qiao ).
Exalted Emperor (the Gan & Mo ).
Professional players: Menglan ( Foshan DRG's starting marksman), Zhongyi ( Chengdu AG's starting jungler), Zihuan ( Chongqing Wolves' starting mid laner), Shiyue ( Wuhan eStar's starting top laner), Wuwei ( Beijing JDG's starting support).
The comments section was buzzing with discussion.
" Menglan, I'm so upset! I've attended the Overlord Feast every year, only to miss out every time. I was really born at the wrong time."
"It's a real pity about Menglan. Almost all the professional players from his generation have won the Overlord title, but he's the only one who hasn't."
" Gu Shi and Zongshi Shi are probably the strongest technical streamers in the current streaming community, especially Zongshi, who used to be Mid Lane Overlord, then transitioned to jungle and became the strongest jungler in solo queue."
" The Zongshi doesn't seem to be in good condition. His Dao Heart was shattered by the Exalted Emperor Mirror a while ago, and he hasn't recovered yet."
"Brother, if you put it that way, Gu Shi was also disciplined by the Exalted Emperor army, so why didn't his Dao heart collapse? It's just a matter of personality; Zongshi is just young and impetuous."
"Something's not right! Why isn't there a designated path for the Exalted Emperor? Which position is the Exalted Emperor challenger for?"
"Holy crap! I just realized that Exalted Emperor didn't choose a challenge position."
Millions of netizens have discovered a blind spot: Exalted Emperor of King of Glory streamers today, hasn't even decided which lane he's going to challenge!
In other words, the Exalted Emperor can challenge any lane!
Shortly after, the official Overlord Feast released a separate video to explain and clarify the issue of the undetermined challenge route for the Exalted Emperor.
Basically, in the past nine editions of the Overlord Feast, there were always ten challengers, but this year's tenth Overlord Feast is quite special.
[ Exalted Emperor ], who became an internet sensation midway through his career, demonstrated amazing gaming skills and has a considerable influence and appeal within the King of Glory community. Therefore, he was exceptionally invited to participate in the Overlord Feast.
However, Exalted Emperor did not specify which route to challenge, so it was assumed that he could challenge any route!
Millions of netizens suddenly realized the truth.
The comments section is buzzing with discussion about the location that Exalted Emperor will challenge.
" Exalted Emperor is definitely going to challenge the mid lane. It's been analyzed before that. With the Overlord Feast approaching, Exalted Emperor's push for the Gan in the national team is a deliberate attempt to maintain his mid lane performance."
"I disagree. In terms of dominance and pressure, the Exalted Emperor, is superior. After all, he made Zongshi's mentality collapse. How weak could he be?"
"Hey, you guys are just making wild guesses and spreading misinformation. Exalted Emperor is clearly going to challenge the development lane. Don't forget, he reached the top of the Legendary 100 Stars with a perfect MVP record, and he did it all as a marksman."
"Everyone, stop arguing. To be fair, the mid lane, jungle, and bottom lane are all positions that Exalted Emperor could potentially challenge."
"After hearing your words, Zhuang Zhou mentioned Purify. Brother upstairs, what's the difference between what you said and nothing at all?"
" Exalted Emperor likes to challenge the limits. The five positions are ranked by difficulty: Top Lane > Jungle > Mid Lane > Bottom Lane > Roaming. Exalted Emperor is proficient in mid, jungle, and marksman, so he'll definitely be challenging himself with the most difficult position: Jungle!"
Opinions among netizens are varied.
Meanwhile, Exalted Emperor, the person directly involved, was counting his money.
Night fell.
Jiangcheng, Huating Residential Complex.
"One north, two north, three north..." In the bedroom, under the expectant gaze of his younger sister Jiang Sui, Su Hang finished counting the red banknotes and tied them with a rubber band. "Here, one hundred thousand yuan."
Jiang Sui happily accepted it. "So 100,000 is this much!"
Because of the Alipay limits on WeChat, Su Hang withdrew some cash from a nearby ATM.
"Brother, are you sure you don't want to go to my daughter's birthday party?" Jiang Sui put the money into her handbag. " Sister Lan sent me WeChat this morning, asking if you're coming."
Su Hang waved his hand. "I have something to do tonight, I won't be going."
Jiang Sui grabbed Su Hang's arm and shook it playfully, saying, "You and Sister Lan haven't seen each other for so many years. Why don't you take advantage of her sister's birthday party to meet up?"
Su Hang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Did you take a bribe from [ Huyan Lan ]?"
"Ahem." Jiang Sui's face flushed slightly. "No way, how could that be? Is your sister the kind of person who's only interested in money?"
Su Hang crossed his arms and sneered, "You're quite clear about your own position."
" Sister Lan is now a [Chinese wedding] planner, she has her own wedding planning company, and she earns a million a year, she's amazing," Jiang Sui said deliberately. "And she's never had a boyfriend, she's still single."
"Stop!" Su Hang smiled slightly. "Do you think I like her, or do you think she likes me?"
Jiang Sui tilted her head and said, "You two used to go to the mountains together a lot during your school days. Didn't that mean you were mutually attracted to each other?"
"You're overthinking it." Su Hang was too lazy to explain. He couldn't very well say that he regularly went to the mountains with Huyan Lan during his student days because they were fighting.
He never hit girls, but Huyan Lan was an exception.
When I was eight years old, the school organized a spring outing to the mountains. I met [ Huyan Lan ], who was three years older than me, by a stream. He was wearing the Shadow Protectors Wicked Water suit from the Armor Hero.
At the time, he was unaware of the situation and thought that the Shadow Beasts had become reality. Instantly, his blood boiled, and he put on the Emperor Hero Mask that he always carried with him...
Upon learning the truth about the suit afterward, I was greatly disappointed.
It turns out that Huyan Lan is also a fan of armored tokusatsu, but he prefers the villainous Shadow Beasts rather than the Armor Hero.
Huyan Lan utterly despises the Armor Hero and considers them his enemies.
He intensely loathed the Shadow Beasts and viewed them as enemies.
So they would regularly meet in the mountains for a fight, each blow landing hard to test their skills. Every fight was a draw, with both sides suffering serious injuries.
The farce only ended when Huyan Lan went to university in the north.
"Brother, do you know how much a girl changes as she grows up?" Jiang Sui deliberately took out her phone and waved it around. " Sister Lan is so beautiful now, do you want to see some of her beautiful photos?"
Su Hang replied listlessly, "I don't want to."
Jiang Sui pouted and slung her bag over her shoulder. "Boring."
I'm leaving.
Be careful on the road.
Su Hang took out a can of sugar-free cola, and the image of Huyan Lan's tall and slender figure with Princess- cut hairstyle from three years ago flashed through his mind.
"How beautiful can a tigress who's obsessed with fighting and killing really be?"
Su Hang scoffed and took a sip of his sugar-free cola.
At this moment.
A notification sounded on WeChat indicating that the message was being followed closely.
Su Hang picked up the phone on the table, unlocked it, and checked it.
It was a message from my younger sister Jiang Sui.
"Recent photos of Sister Lan [pictures]"
Su Hang spat out his cola and stared wide-eyed.
"Is this Huyan Lan???"
