Zaro had been floating a little recently.
He had just taken part in a competitive e-sports competition and won the championship!
The moment he had received the championship trophy, Zaro had laughed flamboyantly and had the thought —
I actually won?!
Why am I so awesome?
Did I save the Milky Way in my previous life?
These were the three questions that came from the bottom of his heart.
Thus, Zaro, who had received the championship trophy, started to tremble in awe. The ID he had used in the competition was "Samoyed." When he was happy, he wished that the whole world knew that he was the newly crowned "Samoyed." He firmly believed that the name "Samoyed" was fated with him and was an extremely lucky ID. Unfortunately, he was too famous and couldn't change his stage name.
However, he was in a good mood after winning the competition. Recently, when he had nothing to do, he would brag about it. It just so happened that Chu Bo had come to Huangzhou for a concert, so Zaro had come to cheer on his old friend. He had even brought his e-sports comrades to Huangzhou to play and invited them to watch Chu Bo's concert. At the same time, he had organized a private gathering to meet up with his old friends from Huangzhou and introduce them to each other.
Those who had accompanied Zaro in the competition were all professional e-sports players and Leizhou region's top players. Although they came from different e-sports clubs, they usually focused their attention on "Battle of the Century." Switching games was just to relax and change their mindset. They had never expected to meet Zaro. After some consideration, they had accompanied Zaro in the competition. Actually, there had been some luck involved in winning the championship.
After receiving Zaro's invitation, Fang Zhao didn't have much to do tonight. Zaro's residence in Huangzhou wasn't far, so it wasn't a bad idea to take a stroll.
When Fang Zhao arrived, there were already over ten people at Zaro's side. There were a few new faces.
Inside, Danke Assis was bragging to others.
As the son of the Inter-planetary Fund's current chairman, Danke Assis didn't just live a carefree life. His activity level on the internet wasn't any lower than Zaro's. Netizens jokingly called him "Crown Prince of the Inter-planetary Fund."
The fake Crown Prince Danke had been very pleased recently. He didn't know what the brat his father had done and hadn't appeared in front of him recently, so his days were carefree and contented. Today, he only knew that Zaro was hosting a private gathering. He didn't care who exactly was there. Recently, he had run over the moment he heard that there was a gathering and had even brought along a few bottles of his treasured alcohol.
Danke was very open. Even when he saw a few new faces, he would quickly strike up a conversation. Anyone who could be invited to a private gathering by Zaro was worth getting to know.
After drinking some wine and having people supporting him, Danke had become arrogant.
"I have the most experience in taking care of naughty children. I'm not bragging. Don't mention naughty children, even if you really give me a bear …"
However, there was an honest person in the crowd who heard this and said, "It's illegal to own a bear now."
"… Give me three naughty children!"
"Isn't it inappropriate for the child to use the word 'only'?"
Danke raised his eyebrows after being repeatedly interrupted. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when he saw Fang Zhao walk in. The words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.
Those useless reporters!
Danke cursed the Huangzhou entertainment reporters in his heart. Wasn't Fang Zhao's movements supposed to be reported in real-time? Why didn't I receive any news?
Although he wasn't taking care of the little brat anymore, Danke still wasn't too willing to see Fang Zhao.
The Inter-planetary Fund's attitude towards Fang Zhao was too strange. Even his old man became cautious whenever Fang Zhao was mentioned. Although he didn't wish to see Fang Zhao, he could only curse in his heart. He couldn't show it on the surface.
Thus, Danke instantly switched to business mode. When he needed to smile, he would still show a proper smile. Any more would be too exaggerated, and any less would be too unfamiliarity.
Fang Zhao naturally sensed this change, but he didn't fuss over it.
At this moment, others also came over to greet Fang Zhao. Those who were observant also noticed the instant change in Danke's expression when he looked at Fang Zhao. Their evaluation of Fang Zhao changed once again. Fang Zhao was indeed a person who concealed himself deeply.
At the same time, on the balcony.
Zaro, Chu Bo, and Woo Tianhao were squatting there like three potatoes.
Chu Bo held a cigarette in one hand and had a worried expression on his face. "I've been under a lot of pressure recently. You guys go in first. Let me have some peace and quiet. "
"Regarding the concert?" Woo Tianhao lit a cigarette and tossed one to Zaro.
Upon hearing about the concert, Zaro elbowed the depressed Chu Bo. "Hey, I heard you were invited for a meeting again?"
"Mmhm." Chu Bo didn't want to talk about this topic.
He had been invited for a meeting. During the last leg of his global concert tour, he had let loose and gotten reported for using foul language. As a result, his concert in Huangzhou had nearly been canceled. Because of this, he had been invited for a meeting by the Huangcheng Cultural, Broadcasting and New Bureau.
However, this wasn't the reason why Chu Bo was under so much pressure. The Huangcheng Cultural, Broadcasting and New Bureau had treated him nicely during the meeting on account of the Chu family of Jinzhou's great generals. However, right after the meeting, the Cultural, Broadcasting and New Bureau had reported this matter to Old Master Chu. If not for the concert in Huangcheng, Old Master Chu would have summoned Chu Bo back to reprimand him in person.
This time, he had only reprimanded Chu Bo online, but if he still couldn't control his mouth during the Huangzhou concert, there wouldn't be a next leg of the world tour. Although Old Master Chu hadn't said it explicitly, Chu Bo understood what he meant.
Chu Bo wasn't afraid of his parents, but he was afraid of his grandfather. When Old Master Chu lectured him, he didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations and didn't beat or scold him. Instead, he was able to make Chu Bo obediently admit his mistakes.
Heh, old tricks!!
Chu Bo was afraid and helpless.
He continued to hold the cigarette in his hand and looked up with a depressed expression.
Chu Bo didn't want Zaro and Woo Tianhao to know that he was admitting his mistakes in front of Old Master Chu!
Zaro looked at the time and stood up. "Bobo, stop squatting on the balcony. Let me bring you to see my new trophy!"
Zaro's objective for this gathering was to flaunt his new trophy and prove to everyone that other than Fang Zhao, he could also win an eSports award. What's more, he was the champion!
Chu Bo continued squatting there to pack potatoes and rolled his eyes at Zaro. A bunch of gods and a hindrance had won a small competition based on luck. How could he not have a f * cking clue?
Zaro really didn't have a clue. He didn't consider the scale of the competition or the value of the trophy. All he wanted to do was show off to others.
"Fang Zhao should be here soon. I'll show him my trophy," Zaro said.
"Fang Zhao?" Chu Bo's depressed expression stiffened. "You even called him?"
"Of course I called him. He was also in the eSports circles before!"
Zaro didn't sense the change in Chu Bo's tone, but Woo Tianhao beside him did.
"Bobo, are you afraid of Fang Zhao?" Woo Tianhao asked.
"Bullsh * t! I'm afraid of him?!! "Chu Bo was so angry that he jumped up.
Just as he finished speaking, the balcony door opened and someone walked out.
Chu Bo hadn't even gotten a clear look at Chu Bo's face when he felt his nerves tighten and he flicked the cigarette in his hand away.
Chu Bo: "…"
Zaro and Woo Tianhao looked at Fang Zhao, who had just walked in, then at the cigarette butt that Chu Bo had flicked away. "…"
Chu Bo, you still say you aren't afraid of Fang Zhao?!
You were so scared that you even threw away your cigarette!
Actually, Fang Zhao hadn't wanted to scare anyone and hadn't specially eavesdropped on their conversation. He had only smelled the smoke. There were many singing artists in the academy who took great care to protect their voices. Even if they smoked, they were extremely restrained. Chu Bo, who had to practice singing every day, was actually squatting here smoking?
Chu Bo's face turned dark red as he was stared at by the three of them. He had no time to conceal his embarrassment and anger. After a while, he half-explained, "I wasn't smoking. I just lit a cigarette and smelled it."
Chu Bo's heart was on the verge of collapsing. Why do I have to explain? Why am I acting like a coward? Could it be that I've been traumatized by Fang Zhao?
Sensing Chu Bo's awkwardness, Fang Zhao didn't harp on this matter. Instead, he turned to Zaro. "I heard you just won a championship?"
Zaro had originally been wondering why Chu Bo was so afraid of Fang Zhao, but when he heard Fang Zhao mention a championship, he instantly forgot about Chu Bo's matter. He laughed heartily and brought Fang Zhao to look at his championship trophy.
After flaunting the trophy, Zaro recalled what the other e-sports athletes had mentioned and asked Fang Zhao, "Did you receive an invitation to Fiery Bird's All-star Match next month?"
Fiery Bird's All-star Match involved 20 of Fiery Bird's more popular games. In terms of nature, the All-star Match was still considered an exhibition match. Invitations weren't based on teams and were only invited to a portion of the top-ranked gaming gods. Among these 20 games, "Battle of the Century" occupied 90% of the popularity, so naturally, it invited the most celebrity gamers. Therefore, it could be said to be the All-star Match for "Battle of the Century."
Fang Zhao still didn't know about this and replied, "Nope. I don't play professionally right now. "
Zaro, who also hadn't received an invitation, felt better. He patted Fang Zhao's shoulder comfortingly. "If no one invited you, how about we watch the match live? I've already made arrangements with Woo Tianhao and the others. "
"You guys go ahead. I have a thesis defense next month and still have to prepare to graduate," Fang Zhao replied.
Zaro had a look of sympathy. A forgotten e-sports athlete who was past his prime couldn't even watch a match. How pitiful.
Yanzhou. The members of the Silver Wing professional gaming team had just finished a meeting and were discussing.
Jinro and five others had already received invitations to Fiery Bird's All-star Match.
Schwarzer, who had also received an invitation, suddenly said, "I wonder if Zhao god received an invitation."
Even after such a long time, Schwarzer still clearly remembered the merciless kick he had received the first time they had challenged Fang Zhao. Ever since he had started playing "Battle of the Century," he had gone from a newbie to a senior member of the team, but he still couldn't help but shudder at the mention of Fang Zhao. The only person who could kick him offline with one kick, other than a monster in the game, was Fang Zhao.
At the mention of Fang Zhao, the group of people who had been laughing suddenly quietened down. Only after a while did someone speak.
"That can't be. Zhao god is busy with his graduation. He should be doing his thesis defense during the All-star Match. I have analyzed his schedule. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be participating."
"What about the special guest? He is Fiery Bird's spokesperson. The All-star Match is considered an important commercial event. As the spokesperson, he wouldn't be absent, right? "
"He also didn't attend Fiery Bird's customer gratitude ceremony at the end of last year."
Jinro rubbed his chin and thought for a bit before kicking Schwarzer. "Ask Nanfeng. The last time Zhao god came back, I saw you talking to Nanfeng quite a bit."
Schwarzer hesitated for a bit before sending Nanfeng a message. They couldn't directly ask Fang Zhao. What if they disturbed Fang Zhao's composition? Fang Zhao would torture them to death when he came back.
Five minutes later.
Schwarzer heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Nanfeng's reply.
"Hahahaha, Big Bro Nan said that Zhao god will be busy with his thesis defense and won't be participating in other events!"
The All-star Match was actually a stage for popular gamers like them to show off. The competition was secondary. Entertainment was more important. Schwarzer didn't want to be kicked offline by Fang Zhao while he was showing off. How embarrassing would that be in front of fans all over the world?
