Chapter 29   - Misfire

Yi Chen also didn’t understand why he had chosen to return home.

The little anchor hadn’t invited him.

From the start, the little anchor hadn’t cared about his boss at all.

That was just fine. For example, if you were a brand’s VIP customer, would that brand not inform you when new products would be released in the new season?

Yes, the brand would notify you by text, email or even through a phone call, and would look forward to your next visit.

But then he thought about it. After all, this was still just a small manufacturer. The little anchor wasn’t very proficient in business, and Yi Chen’s investment in him was just like a sprinkle of water, so he couldn’t even hold the other party to the strict standards of big manufacturers.

Especially now, when he was very satisfied with this small manufacturer’s products.

Yu Yan finished his sentence and found that the barrage’s speed had grown visibly slower. He doubtfully frowned and reached towards the camera, waving his hand a bit.

“Can you guys see me? Or did I set it up wrong?”

As soon as his voice fell, countless gifts appeared in the lower left corner, whizzing by very quickly. The barrage swooped in with a force similar to that of a thousand galloping troops, and the resulting screen was already so dense that words couldn’t be made out at all——

[Holy crap! I’m dead!! What the fuck is this top-quality little Gege?!!]

[Laozi has watched livestreams for six years and has never seen such a damn handsome anchor before!! Fuck!!]

[Boss 1 is here! Boss 1 came in at exactly 8:00 p.m!! My CP is saved today!!!]

[I am one-sidedly declaring that the anchor and Boss 1 are no longer shipped, and now, the anchor and I are shipped together!! I threw the anchor of the ship away!!!]

[I’m going to paralyze you! I’ll fucking find a pirate to scour the seas to blow up your ship!!]

[Did this face-selling anchor come to the wrong category ? This is the PUBG section, vomits. It’s better to just honestly play games than to do such gimmicks every day.]

[I don’t play games, but how much is it to add the anchor’s WeChat??]

[Now I know why the female anchors that I’m fans of are here. Hateful!]

[This is my first love… Ah, wait. Laozi is a fucking man . Scratching my head…]

Yu Yan was startled and recoiled to lean against the backrest of his chair. “Everyone, don’t spam the barrage.”

At this time, no one listened to him. The barrage messages sent by the previous stream followers were now covered by the new messages being sent by other viewers; it was just incessant spamming. There were also a few antis mixed into the barrage who tried to take advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble.

After half a minute, he privately chatted with the stream moderator and asked her to keep watch and to ban people as necessary.

It took a long time before she replied.

Stream Moderator 012: Sorry… There were so many barrage messages and presents that I lagged out several times. I’ll start banning people now!

As she finished saying that, she also sent over a very cute emoticon.

While Yu Yan was communicating with the stream moderator, Lu Xiuhe acted as a warm-up attendant.

“Right ? Handsome ? I didn’t lie to you guys ! When he used to come to the Internet cafe, he got accosted all the time. The seats near him were super popular; the guys wanted to see his gameplay, and the girls wanted to see his face. Every day, someone would openly invite him to do shady stuff… How old is he? About 20 this year ? I forget…”

[He’s actually an adult! He looks like a high school student, and he’s too thin .]

[Does the anchor have the guts to turn off beauty and whitening filters ? ]

[Why do you guys keep talking shit? If you love to watch, then watch. Otherwise, you should gtfo. Are you coming here to find some sense of existence? Son, ignore these antis, Mama loves you!]

[Lulu : He didn’t turn on any beauty or whitening filters. He said that it made him look too distorted.]

[Lulu, go livestream for me!!!]

[Boss 1, are you satisfied with what you see?]

Yu Yan was stunned. He quickly went to check the star ranking list, and sure enough, 1’s ID was lit up&#k2014;indicating that the other party was in the livestream.

Just now, he had been spammed with a fearful amount of gifts. He had also received a lot of little stars and other expensive gifts, so the gift animations had directly covered any notification of 1 entering the stream. Plus, he had been tinkering with his camera settings at that time so he really hadn’t seen it.

Yi Chen looked at the young man on the screen.

years old; truly so young. From his face to his hands, he carried the breath of youthfulness, and it reminded Yi Chen of his school days… [I’ve decided to stan new boss for a second.]

[I’m now staring at Boss 1’s icon.]

Yi Chen glanced at his new teammate’s ID and neither lightly nor heavily clicked his tongue.

In the team voice channel, Zhou Yan continued, “Where are you from?”

After a while, Yu Yan replied, “Manyang.”

“Manyang? That’s right next to me. I often go there on business.”

Lu Xiuhe said, “Boss Zhou Yan, did you set up your ID like this because you were afraid that other people wouldn’t recognize you ?”

“It’s just an ID that I picked arbitrarily. If other people recognize me, that’s fine, nothing to be ashamed of.” Zhou Yan laughed, “Xiao Yan, what gun did you find?”

Yu Yan answered, “An Uzi and a 98K.”

Zhou Yan let out an “oh” sound. “I like sniping a lot…”

A small crackle interrupted him.

The voice that hadn’t said a word since entering the match suddenly spoke up, “Little anchor.”

Yu Yan’s reflexively answered, “En?”

Yi Chen’s tone was natural. “Picked it up for me?”

Yu Yan was dumbstruck and didn’t respond for a good while. “Yes. I was planning on tossing it to you when I divided things up…”

“Good boy.” Yi Chen said, “Bring it over to me.”

Good… boy?

This line really broke the rules; Yu Yan tried to restrain the uncontrollable corners of his mouth. He tightly pressed his lips into a line as he turned his character away right in front of Zhou Yan, and without looking back, ran to Yi Chen.

“On my way.”

[????]

[My CP is sending fluff, I’m just going to explode here.]

[Sure enough, Boss 1’s and the little anchor’s fluff is tastier.]

Zhou Yan took a puff from his cigarette, and with an unknown purpose, gazed at the two markers on the map that were gradually getting closer.

After Yu Yan tossed Yi Chen the gun, Zhou Yan said, “Xiao Yan, come back to me.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Just come.” Zhou Yan laughed, “Gege will show you something good.”

Yu Yan ran back to Zhou Yan. As soon as he stopped, he heard a few clicks; Zhou Yan had taken all of his clothes off.

After that, he listened to Zhou Yan who said, “You’ve seen all of me, so remember to take responsibility.”

“…”

Lu Xiuhe completely missed the subtle atmosphere between them all. He just laughed and jeered, “Fuck, Ge. You’re so sexy .”

“Hahaha, I’m just fucking around.” Zhou Yan moved his gun and pointed to the clothes on the ground. “Xiao Yan, you should put on these clothes. Wearing only the red scarf looks just too ugly.”

Yu Yan refused, “No need, I’m fine like this.”

“What do you mean, it’s fine ya? It’s really affecting my game experience. Put it on quickly.”

Since the boss was the one who said it like that, Yu Yan couldn’t really refuse him; he had to pick it up and wear the clothes.

Zhou Yan was satisfied. He was ready to say something else when he heard a few bangs, and several bullets suddenly hit the ground in front of him.

He was startled. He looked up and unexpectedly saw that it was his teammate who had shot at him.

Yi Chen stood a short distance away holding his gun, and gave his explanation very concisely and comprehensively.

“Misfire.”
