Chapter 79: Mu, the God of Gaming
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wei’s channel was exceptionally crowded today.
Tonight, Wei’s team had invited the most popular female live telecaster, Jiang Rou’er, to play with him. Wei was hoping to use the opportunity to regain the popularity he had lost recently thanks to Mu.!!
The moment he started the live telecast, everyone shouted for Mu. Wei could not help feeling annoyed.
Jiang Rou’er’s sweet voice came. “Wei, who are they talking about?”
Wei forced a smile. “He is a new live telecaster on our platform. He is pretty good at the game. We have gotten matched to the same game.”
“I see.” Jiang Rou’er nodded. “Wei, I’m counting on you to help me win.”
Jiang Rou’er was very pretty and had a sweet voice. The moment she spoke to Wei gently, it stirred up his sense of competition. “Don’t worry. I will make sure we win every round.”
The game began.
Wei usually preferred heading to the port since it had the most enemies. Since Jiang Rou’er was playing with him today, he decided to play safe and start somewhere further before infiltrating the heart of the map.
The viewers always loved watching live telecasters fighting aggressively, so everyone started to ridicule him online when they saw what a coward Wei was.
[You scaredy-cat. Look at what Mu is doing. He is running straight for the port. How could you be such a wuss?]
[Tsk tsk tsk. No wonder Mu is more popular than you. I used to follow you because of your great technique. From the looks of it, you are a coward. If you still consider yourself a man, you should dive into the heart of battle.]
Wei was about to speak when he saw the comments, but Jiang Rou’er beat him to it. “It was my fault. Wei was worried that I would die at the port, so he started here. My bad.”
No one dared to scold Wei since Jiang Rou’er defended him. Instead, they started to console her.
Since Jiang Rou’er stepped up to defend Wei, he was even more determined to show off in front of Jiang Rou’er.
Wei took out four to five people and Jiang Rou’er kept praising him. Wei’s head swelled since he had just impressed a pretty girl. He glanced at the map. “Let’s go snatch some good gear for you.”
Wei’s idea of snatching someone’s gear was to stand at the end of a bridge fully armed and wait for enemies to fall into his trap.
Wei told Jiang Rou’er to hide while he hid in a blind spot with his bullets and hand grenades ready for battle.
Time went by minute by minute until the sound of a motorcycle could be heard from a distance. Someone dressed in a black leather jacket came zipping towards him and was about to enter his shooting range.
Wei swiftly picked up his gun and aimed for the guy on the motorcycle.
BAM!
Wei pulled the trigger and the bullet came shooting out. The guy on the motorcycle adjusted the steering wheel and rode forward very close to the ground and dodged the bullet.
Wei continued firing several times but missed. He picked up his hand grenades and started tossing them towards the enemy without a care. The motorcycle was now in flames and the path on the bridge was blocked.
Wei’s lips curved upwards. Now that there was no escape, prepare to die.
Despite the desperate situation, the man climbed up the steel cables hanging over the bridge to the topmost steel cable on it.
Since the steel cables were very fine, it was easy to lose balance walking on them. Yet, Wei watched as his enemy stood at the top of the bridge as though he were walking on flat land.
Wei kept shooting at his enemy, but the guy across him evaded every single shot as though he was doing it automatically. He even managed to continue walking on the steel cable while he was at it.
Wei got anxious and craned his head out a little from his hiding spot before hiding quickly.
The enemy who was just running around evading his attacks unknowingly armed himself in a split second.
A gunshot rang in the air and Wei got blown in the head and died.
Words appeared in-game: [Mu killed Wu.]
Wei opened his eyes wide in shock as he stared at Mu’s name on the screen. The audience boiled with excitement.
[Look at his incredible technique! Is he the famous Mu? It was brilliant. I’m going over to his channel to check him out.]
[Wei, stop embarrassing yourself. You are not in the same league as Mu.]
[Although Wei exposed his weakness, he hid quickly. Wasn’t Mu hiding from Wei’s gunfire on the steel cables? How could Mu have discovered Wei sticking his head out and reacted by taking him out in a split second? It was so fake. I’m sure he cheated.]
Wei disregarded the negative comments. Instead, he gritted his teeth. “Rou’er, my bad. I made a mistake. Let’s play another round.”
Wei started a new game with Jiang Rou’er.
Sadly, he got matched to the same battle with Mu Sheng again.
Wei felt annoyed and angry about his bad luck. This time, he was far more cautious. After getting the best gear, he found the perfect spot to launch a sneak attack on Mu Sheng.
However, he was slaughtered by Mu Sheng once more. He suffered an overwhelming defeat and was incapable of fighting back.
He was unable to shrug it off as a mistake this time. People started sneering at him online. He lost a lot of fans as his popularity quickly decreased. A dude who was one of his biggest supporters had not returned ever since seeing Mu Sheng on her channel.
Despite the embarrassment, Wei kept his composure and continued doing the live telecast since Jiang Rou’er was present. Fortunately, they did not encounter Mu Sheng later on. However, he had undeniably lost a lot of popularity and followers.
Ever since Mu Sheng started her live telecast, a lot of random people came to watch her game after seeing her clips on social media.
The netizens were keenly aware of how marketing worked. They knew a lot of live telecasters would use clips from their best matches for promotion and it was understandable.
They thought Mu Sheng was the same, so they did not bear too much hope. They just hoped they would not end up badly disappointed.
However, they had only one thing to say about her after watching the matches.
She was brilliant!
Initially, they felt that the clips on social media were the best Mu Sheng could manage.
From the looks of her performance tonight, she just got better and better!
Every round was dangerous and thrilling and gave the audience an adrenaline rush.
Mu Sheng rode on the bike in the wilderness. She managed the counter-attack while jumping up and down fine steel cables. She was capable of taking out an entire city single-handedly.
The audience could not resist calling Mu, the God of Gaming.
[OMIGOD! Hubby, that was so cool! Your AWM has found its way into my heart!]
[God Mu is amazing! You are the live telecaster with the best gaming skills. It would be a great injustice if you don’t become a hit.]
[My hubby’s brilliant moves have me in tears. Please X me with your gun.]
[Hey, watch it. Some restraint, please. You should watch your tongue in public. How could you call him your hubby? He’s mine!]
Mu Sheng picked the default “male” gender when she registered for her account. Even though she used a female avatar, no one thought she was a woman.
Moreover, it did not cross anyone’s mind that she was a woman considering her flawless technique.
Mu Sheng gained a lot of fans after the live telecast. She also gained a following of female fans who kept calling her “hubby”.
Mu Sheng turned off the live telecast when it was bedtime.
Shortly after she stopped live telecasting, Wei posted something online and caused a storm.
[A replay of the gameplay belonging to the number one new live telecaster. Anyone with brains can tell he was cheating!]
