His account had been created for 1834 days, and Li Bai's win rate had been maintained for 1834 days.
Over the years, he had played thousands of games with Li Bai. She wasn't sure how many of those were started at a disadvantage, but she had seen one severely disadvantageous match in his stream. At that time, the chances of winning were very, very slim, yet even then, he had managed to drag it out until his team could scale and make a comeback.
The win rate he had worked so hard to maintain for so long was broken by his own hand today.
And it was because of her.
Lin Jing didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment; they were complex, a mixture of guilt, regret, and a touch of confusion.
Sheng Kuang had been calling her to play games for the past two days, even staying up late to help her achieve a high rank.
This afternoon, when they met in-game, he had openly gone easy on her, surrendered, and even added Lan Tingting as a friend, coming over to play support for her.
If his coming to play support for her that afternoon when she was queuing with Qin Dandan was considered coaxing, then his actions these past two days were far more than just coaxing...
Lin Jing fell silent for a moment, and the word "pleasing" inexplicably popped into her mind.
She was startled by these two words.
Sheng Kuang was incredibly arrogant. The word "coaxing" already felt out of place for him, let alone "pleasing."
Moreover, there didn't seem to be any reason for him to try and please her.
Lin Jing thought about the intimacy relationship Sheng Kuang had just opened. He wouldn't have deliberately shown it to her alone, would he?
She instantly conjured up a sweet romance novel trope: the male lead was very tsundere. He realized the female lead, because of the white lotus supporting character, could be his in-game best friend, while he himself was not qualified. He was a bit displeased and wanted to coax the female lead, but due to his persona and pride, he didn't want to lower his noble head. Thus, he would subtly coax the female lead with a hint of pleasing, while appearing nonchalant as he indirectly clarified himself in front of her.
Lin Jing shook her head and quickly interrupted her wandering thoughts.
She was a little disappointed that Sheng Kuang had rejected her intimacy request, but it wasn't enough to make her unhappy, as she was just one of his fans.
If anyone, it was Qin Dandan who made her a little unhappy.
She believed she had concealed this slight unhappiness quite well over the past two days, showing no cracks. She didn't think Sheng Kuang would know.
Could it be that he felt a little bad after rejecting her intimacy request, and that's why he was acting this way?
...
The official streaming duration for Sheng Kuang was two hours.
A single game, from matchmaking to hero selection to completion, would take at least twenty minutes. In total, that was only about five or six matches.
Time passed quickly in the game, and before she knew it, it was nine o'clock in the evening.
This was the time Sheng Kuang could end his stream at any moment.
Based on his usual streaming habits, his start time was casual, and his end time was equally casual. Many times, he'd simply say he wasn't playing anymore and disappear.
At 8:50 PM, many viewers in the chat were already typing requests for him to stream a bit longer.
Perhaps the fans' enthusiasm truly touched Sheng Kuang. Precisely at 9:01 PM, after destroying the opponent's crystal, he magnanimously said, "Then let's play one more game."
Several other professional players from yLs were also streaming with him.
Their ranks were similar, so if they started matchmaking at the same time, they would easily run into each other.
After Sheng Kuang's matchmaking was successful, a swarm of comments flooded the chat.
【Did they crash?】
【Looks like they crashed】
【They crashed, they finally crashed】
【Hahahaha, it's about time, I've been waiting forever】
【It wasn't easy. Boss Jing has been clamoring to crash into Kuai Zai's car since 7 PM, and after crashing all evening, they've finally met】
【Welcome to the fated meeting in the canyon. Today's stream theme is Boss Jing and the cute little one he's been chasing for two hours】
【Hahahaha Boss Jing to Kuai Zai: You run, I chase, you can't escape】
Lin Jing: "???"
Why did the stream suddenly start shipping them?
While Lin Jing was still full of questions, Sheng Kuang's game matchmaking was successful, and the screen jumped to the hero ban and pick phase.
The ID in the first slot was one she was all too familiar with.
yLs·sence.
Chen Jing immediately activated the game voice chat: "Hello everyone, I'm Chen Jing, my stream ID is..."
Without hesitation, Sheng Kuang raised his hand and muted the small speaker icon on the game interface.
The chat was filled with hahahas.
Chen Jing started typing.
yLs·sence: Sheng Kuang is ending after this game, but I'm not. You can come to my stream.
yLs·sence: My stream ID is...
Chen Jing, being in the first slot, was so focused on piggybacking off Sheng Kuang's stream's popularity that he forgot to pick a hero and ended up locking in Marco Polo.
The third slot was taken by a random player who chose the jungler role.
Sheng Kuang was in the fifth slot. When it was his turn, only the support role was left.
yLs·sence: Pick Yao, support me!
yLs·sence: Let me get a triple kill, let me get a quad kill, let me get a penta kill!
Amidst Chen Jing's fervent hope, Sheng Kuang chose Shangguan Wan'er.
yLs·sence: ?
yLs·sence: Are you f***ing throwing the game? Sudan Novel Network
yLs·miracle: Can't support.
yLs·sence: That's a lie, you're great at supporting.
Sheng Kuang activated voice chat, and Chen Jing's frantic voice came through the stream: "Don't believe him, he's amazing at support. How could someone who's so good at ambushing people from bushes not know how to play support?"
Entering the game, Sheng Kuang walked out of the base while activating voice chat. "Depends on who it is," he said.
Chen Jing: "What depends on who it is?"
"Whether you can support depends on who you're playing with," Sheng Kuang's tone was casual. "With you, it's definitely not possible."
