DPTBG Chapter 12

Zuo Tao’s Fairy Song exceeded all expectations.

No one has ever tried equipping Fairy Song with a magic build before, because she was so fragile and had little defense stats, she’d get burst down before she could even use her skills.

Unfortunately for their opponents, that wasn’t the case for Zuo Tao. He moved his hero so quickly that it almost seemed like a cheat, soon reversing his previous safe gameplay. After pretending for so long, he finally grew more aggressive, slapping everyone in the face.

After killing STAR, he moved to assist Song Shihan until they also killed GGF’s jungler and support.

He was like an assassin hidden under the skin of a support…

Truly, the crispiest¹A term used for heroes/champions that sacrifice durability for damage, so although they can be explosive, they can also easily be eliminated. among the crispies.

Farming in the midlane, Wang Qiu watched the clash in the bottom lane and exclaimed: “What incredible skill. If I were STAR, I’d definitely just want to lie down and die.”

Si Zheng smiled. “Yeah, that’s definitely terrifying.” After a pause, he added: “But also really satisfying.”

He realized quickly that ever since Zuo Tao used a damage build, their enemies focused more on the bottom lane, leaving him and the opposing top laner solo to develop among themselves. It was a rather peaceful atmosphere.

Jiang Ming stayed standing behind the team, taking notes with his pen. He picked up his phone and frowned. “Someone on GGF is livestreaming.”

“Are they crazy?” Wang Qiu cursed. “It’s a training match and they’re streaming it? They really deserve to be called a commercial team, missing no opportunity to make money.”

Jiang Ming had an idea: “Why don’t you all livestream as well?”

Si Zheng: “Huh?”

Although Jiang Ming was reasonable, he was also someone who wasn’t easily satisfied. There was evidence, anyway. “The other party is already live, why aren’t we allowed to do it? Let’s take advantage of this time to take traffic to our side. With FIRE, I don’t think they’ll even be able to compete.”

“You’re so good at being bad,” Wang Qiu noted, already switching windows from the game to his desktop, “but I like it.”

He glanced at Song Shihan’s screen and was soon astonished. “Captain, you’re already live? God, that hand speed.”

The others saw what was happening and they all quietly switched windows to open their Little Bear TV streaming applications, too.

“At least we chose common heroes, since we didn’t know GGF would pull something like this,” Si Zheng said as he finished setting up his livestream. “We won’t get too exposed then.” He looked at Zuo Tao, “But what about Zuo Tao’s fairy?”

In general, teams scheduling training matches required a certain degree of privacy, as no one wanted to expose their tactics before actual matches. Just like Zuo Tao’s Fairy Song — had they used her in an actual competition, the results would have been beyond expectation.

But with GGF livestreaming, people would inevitably pay attention to this hero.

“It’s okay,” Zuo Tao said, staring at the screen disdainfully. He simply caught STAR, consumed his HP, and continued, “You can give me any useless hero and I can still kill the enemy AD.”

His words were out of this world, the exact opposite of his made-up well-behaved character, showing his sharp edges.

Laughter piped up through their communication line, and Zuo Tao realized his mistake. He casted a sideways glance at Song Shihan and saw the corner of his mouth curled in a small smile. His heart tightened.

Stop being so careless.

He coughed and scratched at his hair, slowly adding: “Because STAR isn’t very strong. It’s so easy to catch him.”

A message from STAR popped into the game chat as soon as he finished speaking.

【(World) GGF-STAR: Aaaaaaah, that’s going too far!!!】

【(World) GGF-STAR: Demon pink hair, don’t think I don’t know what you said. My fans are telling on you. I’m not very strong? You’re not very strong! I wasn’t taking it seriously!!!】

Zuo Tao bit his lip. Usually, he would immediately talk trash to humiliate anyone who spoke to him this way, but he just thought of a way to vent his anger while maintaining his persona.

He typed something into the chat:

【(World) Wildfire-PINK: Sorry T_T】

Then he used an in-game emote on STAR’s face, completely opposite his apology.

As Jiang Ming expected, as soon as they started livestreaming, huge amounts of viewers quickly entered. Most of them were Song Shihan’s fans, who at first could only join GGF’s streams after hearing the news.

Now that Wildfire was also live, they naturally ran back.

【HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA—】

【The fan benefits have arrived! This nobleman is truly fortunate to watch a training match between GGF and Wildfire in a livestream!】

【Wait, is the fairy the pink-haired kid in God Han’s live from this morning?】

【Even if he’s rude, he’s also strangely likable? What’s up with that?】

【LOL, taking yourself so seriously, if FIRE wasn’t there to tank damage for you you’d be dead.】

【LOL (2), that’s FIRE for you. If FIRE wasn’t there, would he be as happy?】

【Sorry, Xingbao, today is just… HAHAHAHAHAHA!!】

【That scared me. Fairy Song can really be played like this?】

【If you have the ability, play against my Xingbao²Xing = star; bao = babe/treasure. This can be transliteralted to Starbabe lol solo. He’ll kill you in three minutes!】

【I have just one thing to say: STAR has been deteriorating since last year’s spring split, so I’m not too surprised that a newbie can kill him alone. Also — can my sisters see Fenmao’s skin? Fairy Song’s loyalists are crying in envy!!】

【Asking another three more times: Does PINK have a livestream? Does PINK have a livestream? Does PINK have a livestream?】

Zuo Tao didn’t sign a livestreaming contract, so of course he had no idea about the bloody scene currently going on in the comments at the moment. He was focused on the game, and regardless of strength, a professional team’s gameplay was completely different from that of a passerby’s. There were a lot of things to be commended, from map awareness to coordination. Several times he found himself distracted, wanting to check the others’ livestreams, leading to almost getting caught and killed by their opponent.

He did not dare to lose focus any longer.

The match was moving to the late game, and Zuo Tao had already completed most of his equipment. His damage output wasn’t any weaker than that of their mage. To be honest, he’d simply taken advantage of a single opportunity; had he not played safely until their opponents underestimated him, he wouldn’t have been able to develop so smoothly.

But what about it?

Zuo Tao followed Song Shihan all the way to the opposing base, CAT arriving with the Great Dragon. Enhanced minions were also steadily making their way down the middle and top lanes.

After the opposing base crystal exploded, a golden VICTORY soon covered their screens.

Zuo Tao leaned comfortably on his chair and thought happily — acting was also a kind of skill.

Song Shihan took his headphones off after the game, hanging it around his neck. He moved his wrist. The broadcast was still live, and the screen was filled with “666” and “awesome”. Soon, a new wave of comments appeared —

【God Han, God Han, what’s your support’s live? Can we have a link? I can’t find it no matter how much I search (no intentions of cheating, you are still my one true love)】

【I retract all insults I’ve made against PINK this morning. Where are you? Come out here and let me take a look!】

【Commenter, PINK is a newcomer and probably hasn’t signed a streaming contract yet.】

【FIRE, have PINK come and say hello. Is he sitting next to you?】

【New fan reporting, please let PINK appear!】

【By the way, can he give an oral tutorial on Fairy Song? Thank you. I suddenly want to play to kill now!】

“PINK, come here.” Zuo Tao was planning on getting a drink of water, but he was stopped by Song Shihan’s voice.

He was surprised, taking him a few moments to realize that Song Shihan was calling him by his ID. He rolled his chair over and, remembering that happened this morning, stopped a distance away, making sure not to cross boundaries: “What’s up?”

Song Shihan gestured at his screen, saying, “Your fans said they want to see you.”

“Ah,” Zuo Tao said, “My fans?” Song Shihan reached out to grab his chair, pulling him closer.

Zuo Tao appeared on screen once more. Because the chair suddenly moved, he instinctively grabbed Song Shihan’s arm.

【HAHAHAHAHA why are you looking like a little idiot again!!】

【He really does look dull and cute, and his eyes are so innocent, makes me want to squeeze and rub /drool.jpg】

【God, he looks good.】

…

【At this age, I finally met the first boy I want to protect the most /love_eyes.jpg】

【So cute, so cute, so cute. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a boy who can rock such a color. This beautiful one is jealous!】

【I announce that you are now my son!】

“You don’t need to make me your son…” Zuo Tao giggled and greeted, “Hello everyone, I’m PINK from Wildfire. I play support.”

【Of course we know that!!】

【HAHAHAHAHA so cute.】

【Am I the only one who noticed that he’s still holding FIRE’s arm?】

【PINK, you sure are clingy to captain-gege~ /evil_laugh.jpg】

【OP, you’re on to something.】

【Hehehehehe, why don’t you call him again?】

From this point, the comments seemed to evolve, the entire screen filled with comments that said something of a variation of “call gege, call gege”.

Wang Qiu was already in stitches, and even CAT, who was never one to watch livestreams, was watching with great interest.

Zuo Tao’s ear heated and he pretended not to see anything.

【You guys are so bad!】

【Your wandering eyes have betrayed you all!】

【Name your price, how much do I need to spend on gifts before you call “captain-gege”?!】

【One way for contemporary college girls to relieve stress is by watching cute boys call “gege”.】

Zuo Tao: …

What in the weird hell!!

He looked at Song Shihan for help, but Song Shihan was looking at his phone, his face blank except for a hint of amusement.

…

Fine. Just when Zuo Tao was about to speak up to defend himself, the livestream was suddenly overrun by the dazzling effects of expensive gifts being sent to the streamer.

【User REBORN-WIND has entered the livestream.】

【REBORN-WIND sent ten Galaxy Trains to the streamer.】

【REBORN-WIND: Long time no see, old lover.】

Inexplicably, Zuo Tao suddenly felt lighthearted. He looked at Song Shihan beside him and softly called, “Captain-gege.”
