Live broadcast rooms with the privacy setting on were well protected.
Outsiders could only see the room owner’s name and one other piece of information below that––Audience: 1 person.
Wei Xiao’s name as the room owner couldn’t be changed. It was the professional ID that he’d signed the contract with, so the ID FTW.Quiet was as obvious as could be.
He wasn’t flustered; private rooms wouldn’t be recommended on the front page, and he hadn’t had time to live broadcast since the start of the season, so fans wouldn’t come to stalk and wait, and nobody should be able to find out his little secret.
However…
Brother Xiao, whose plan was flawed, had never thought that the live broadcast platform and Weibo would join hands to ‘pit’ him.
Fans flocked to the studio, wanting to watch God Q’s live broadcast, excitedly wanting to chat with him about how to play so wonderfully with the blood thief.
They came and were stopped at the door.
It was enough that everyone was stopped, but there just had to be someone inside the room!
That made it worse.
Curiosity was like a pot of hot oil. It seemed very calm, but as soon as a drop of water was dropped in, it would be enough to make it explode.
The fans blew up!
“Who is it? Who is being favored by our God Q?”
“Ahhhhh, I’ve been waiting for a month since the opening game, but this is what I get?”
“Which little seductress is it? Report your name, I’m going to solo with you!”
“God Q is only 19, right? He already has a girlfriend? And he spoils her so much? So jealous, so jealous.”
“God Q, I want to go in, let me in…”
“Previous poster, I suspect that you’re talking dirty.”
“Be a little more confident and simply get rid of the ‘suspect’ part of that sentence.”
Weibo was bustling with activity. The fans couldn’t send scrolling comments in the live broadcast room, so they simply started going wild under the shared Weibo link.
At ten o’clock in the morning, they didn’t go to school and didn’t go to work. Instead, they stalked Weibo and played at being Sherlock Holmes.
One popular comment after another floated up to the top. Some guessed that it was his girlfriend, others guessed that it was LU, others that it was Brother Cai, and there were even those who thought it was Little Ning, Yue Wenle, Queen Chen, or even the men that the grandmaster had hammered before.
The twin junglers girls flew straight in and expressed, “It’s Close!”
They were immediately drowned out, “Wake up, Close doesn’t watch any live broadcasts.”
“Don’t get all excited just because of one LU. That can’t possibly be Close.”
“Make way, CP fans, stop blocking the way for the detectives.”
“Password, password, big bosses, quickly come and solve the case!”
The twin junglers had started late, and their presence wasn’t grand enough. They ended up crowded into a small corner by everyone else.
The comment that had guessed that it was Close only had 520 likes.
Hey, 520?
Interesting.
But no matter how noisy Weibo got, it didn’t affect Wei Xiao who’d activated the ‘do not disturb’ mode.
He was very immersed in his solo with Asleep.
The blood raven thief wasn’t a popular talent, but professional players would still practice it appropriately.

Wei Xiao had honed his own against Lu Feng. When the two of them soloed, other than support heroes, they would even work their way through the marksman and mages, let alone the blood raven thief that belonged to the thief department.

One was the minimalist aesthetic, and the other was wild. It was very interesting when they both stood together in the canyon.
Within five minutes into the start of the game, the fighting was already white hot.
When it came to solo between the same talent, it was all about personal details.
Don’t judge Asleep based on how he was always drowsy in real life. Once he entered the game, it was like his second personality awakened.
How lifeless he was in reality was balanced out by how crazy he was in the game.
It was like all the energy he’d saved up in the 3D world was all vented out in the canyon.
Wei Xiao was controlled by Asleep’s blood raven’s kiss and couldn’t move.
Asleep obviously wouldn’t let off such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; with the third skill raven’s fall paired up with a basic attack, a set of explosive damage smashed over, leaving Wei Xiao at critical health.
Lu Feng laughed briefly.
Wei Xiao saw that he was about to die, but his mouth was still as cocky as ever, “Your boyfriend is getting bullied, captain, but you’re still laughing.”
Lu Feng didn’t say much and sent him another batch of roses.
Wei Xiao was amused, “If you flirt with me again, I’m really going to die.”
His mouth might say that, but his fingers were very steady. When Asleep’s last basic attack came, Wei Xiao’s controlled state was over. He instantly clicked on the second skill feather transform, using the two movement cooldowns to pull away, leaving only a few scarlet raven feathers on the ground.
Asleep had expected him to retreat, so he also used the same feather transform to chase over, and the clown’s candy cane was about to hit Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao dodged to the side, launching his ultimate move blood oath and making raven feathers cover the sky across the canyon.
Asleep raised his eyebrows.
Cong Yi: “You should retreat.”
Asleep didn’t retreat. Instead, he used the second part of his feather transform to rush back and also started up his own blood oath.
The blood raven thief’s ultimate move had a powerful health sucking mechanism. Not only did it recover the user’s health, it also sucked up other people’s health like mad.
Asleep wanted to go up hard against Wei Xiao, thinking that since he had more health, he would fight to the death against Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao laughed, “Still too young.”
He didn’t move. Under the rain of poisonous candy, he continued to use his blood oath against Asleep.
System Announcement––
Quiet killed Can’t Sleep.
Asleep: “……”
Cong Yi, who was sitting to the side eating melon seeds, “Lost your head there.”
Asleep: “I like it.”
Cong Yi tsked, “Fine, fine, fine, I know you like Quiet, you’re happy even when he hammers you to death.”
Asleep: “……”
In that wave just now, Asleep really shouldn’t have gone up against Wei Xiao.
It was the same ultimate move, the same blood sucking, but there was one detail that Wei Xiao had that Asleep didn’t have.
Before he fled with his feather transform, he’d marked the lane soldiers around him. In this situation, he gained a bonus with his blood sucking when he turned on ‘blood oath’.
Asleep indeed had more health to start with, but he could only absorb Wei Xiao’s blood.
It was like two vampires. One had countless blood bags around him, while the other could only drink the enemy’s blood. The two sides had the same blood sucking rate and upper limit, but obviously, there was a good chance that the one with the most blood bags would win.
After ‘blood oath’ ended, Wei Xiao tossed out a third skill, and the blood ravens called out, turning into a blade that landed on Asleep’s body.
Wei Xiao asked Lu Feng, “In that wave just now, what would you do if it was you, captain?”
Lu Feng knew what he meant. If Asleep hadn’t chosen to retreat, would there still be a way to fight?
There really was…
Lu Feng: “Before your control was released, I would first focus on brushing out two basic attacks.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. He got it.
The blood raven thief’s passive had a healing effect. If Asleep had hit two regular attacks before chasing him, then Asleep would only have to hit him once when he chased over in order to activate it.
With this bit of health, even if Wei Xiao had more ‘blood bags’, Asleep would still be able to last until the end of the blood oath, and then send Wei Xiao to his death with a blood raven’s kiss.
Life and death, victory and defeat, the difference was often found in an instant of thought.
However, this sliver of thought was a mountain that countless professional players had been struggling to overcome for several years.
They’d just finished a game when the door to the training room opened.
Brother Cai’s voice arrived even before he did, “Big ancestor, what kind of trouble are you stirring up now!”
Wei Xiao didn’t have time to hang up the phone and simply covered up his cell phone.
Bai Cai didn’t pay attention to these details. He’d woken up early in the morning and started up his work as the gossip Emperor as usual, but unexpectedly, his eyes were hit by an ‘earthquake’ as soon as he started browsing around.
“Gossip Emperor, Gossip Emperor, here’s some material!”
“Quiet’s private meeting with his mysterious lover, are they male or female?”
“An exclusive live broadcast room, only for you. Come and guess what the password is!”
This large pile of sentences that were similar to headlines were really eye-catching. Not only was Brother Cai’s eyes caught, but his heart leapt, too.
What kind of evil was Beast Wei stirring up again? What kind of rumor was this so early in the morning? Did he feel that he wasn’t popular enough?
The Gossip Emperor investigated the situation by tracking down the clues and arrived at Wei Xiao’s Wei Xiao. And then…
He stuffed his feet into his slippers and rushed down to the training room in his pajamas.
“If you don’t f*cking know how to start up a live broadcast, then don’t stream. Can you not make such a low-level mistake?”
Wei Xiao: “???”
What was wrong with it? He’d just opened up a private studio. How come Brother Cai knew about it?
Bai Cai directly shoved the cell phone into his face so that Wei Xiao could see the situation clearly.
His own Weibo had automatically generated a share link. The forwarding comments for the link had already broken through 300,000….
Wei Xiao: “Doesn’t everyone say that there’s no morning in e-sports? Are these people crazy?”
Bai Cai: “Isn’t it because you, the great God Q, is doting on someone so early in the morning?!”
Wei Xiao blinked.
Bai Cai showed him the popular comments.
If he hadn’t looked, he wouldn’t have known, but now that he looked… it was more spectacular than a novel.
There was no limit to the pits in people’s brains. Even the moon’s surface should feel inferior to it, with suggestions of 985 beautiful girlfriends, sweet and indulgent love with gold master LU, grandmaster and disciple’s exclusive secret chat…
There was also another one with a high amount of ‘likes’––jungler king and little wife, you rank up in points and I’ll accompany you.
The jungler king referred to Wei Xiao, and the little wife was Brother Cai.
Both of them saw it at the same time, and they both shivered simultaneously.
Bai Cai: “God Q, may I ask who you’re doting on so early in the morning!”
Wei Xiao: “……”
Bai Cai: “Confess frankly, and I’ll be lenient. If you resist, I’ll be strict and report it to the captain later on. You’ll find yourself in even more trouble than you bargained for!”
Wei Xiao’s expression was complicated.
Brother Cai couldn’t spare the attention to care about these things. This was a public relations crisis, and if the captain came back, he would be implicated if he couldn’t report the situation properly to him.
“Get out of the way, let me look for myself.”
If he didn’t want to say it, then forget it. He leaned over to see who the only member of the audience in the live broadcast studio was.
And then…
Wei Xiao confessed honestly, “I’m soloing with Asleep, and the captain couldn’t sleep, so he wanted to take a look at my level.”
Brother Cai…
Was going to have a breakdown!
It took a long time for Bai Cai to get his voice back, “It really-really is the captain?”
Wei Xiao was puzzled, “Do you have to be so surprised?”
Bai Cai: “No, that’s not it, this, um….”
Brother Cai couldn’t be blamed for his surprise. Close had been in this profession for four years, and had never been seen in anyone’s live broadcast studio before.
Even if he was taking along a newcomer, he would just double queue with them. The newcomer would open a live broadcast room, and they’d only play for one or two games at most. When the audience count got to a certain point, he would leave.
How could the head of FTW who had to deal with a host of problems every day, the solo great demon king who had countless fans, quietly go to become a spectator in someone else’s live broadcast room?
This…
His imagination was insufficient!
Bai Cai’s heart thumped, and he thought of something else, “You didn’t mess around, did you?”
He didn’t know that Wei Xiao and the captain were still on the phone together.
Wei Xiao clarified quickly, “What are you hinting at? I didn’t mess around at all!”
This was spoken for the captain to hear.
Bai Cai spoke seriously, “I know that it’s hard having a crush on someone, but you need to calm down and not try everything you can think of to seduce the captain early in the morning.”
Wei Xiao: “…………”
Bai Cai’s tone was filled with ‘I understand you’, “You normally don’t get up before noon, but now you’re soloing at 10 o’clock in the morning. If you aren’t deliberately looking for the captain, then what are you doing?”
How should Wei Xiao explain this matter?
He had indeed deliberately looked for the captain, and there was also some seduction, but there was no need to say ‘try everything you can think of’.
Bai Cai even felt sorry for Asleep, “And Brother Asleep can’t stay up all day long. Having you pull him up to solo with him so early in the morning can’t have been easy for him.”
Wei Xiao really couldn’t stop Bai Cai’s brain from coming up with pits. Even ten meteorites wouldn’t be enough to block it.
Bai Cai came closer to see the room more clearly, and then…
“Old Wei, can you be a little less shameless!”
Wei Xiao: “???” What now?!
Bai Cai: “Do you even need to coax and cheat the captain like this?”
Wei Xiao was really confused, “How did I cheat the captain?”
He’d really coaxed him, and he wished that he could coax him day and night.
Bai Cai pointed to the screen and spoke indignantly, “Does the captain know what 1314 means? So you just cheated him into sending you 1314 roses?!”
xiin: feeling second hand embarrassment for Bai Cai already…
…Lighting a candle for Bai Cai…Let’s pray that Close didn’t hear what he just said…🕯
Thanks for the chapter~
He definitely did I mean he is still one the other side of the phone😂

Bai cai… I think you might have to hand in your gossip emperor title for a time out. Does it make sense that the guy sending the roses doesn’t realize what he’s doing? Cmon you know the captain likes xiaoxiao. Put two and two together.
I’m excited to see Bai Cai’s reaction when he finds out that those two are dating lol
Thank you for the hardwork~
Bai Cai this poor little vegetable will be cooked thoroughly by someone soon~

Heh, Brother Vegetable, Close knows more about internet slang than Quiet. Hahaha… Would Brother Cai’s Gossip Emperor ID slip out during the course of their banter? Hmmmmm 🤔
Oh brother Cai… what have you gotten yourself into.
I think the funniest thing would be if Lu Feng would speak up in the next chapter and say what 1314 means! And then see Bai Cai shut down. 😂😂😂
Thanks for the chapter!
i wish he could just tell the truth to Brother Cai ah~ hahahahaha he is worrying too much. thank u for the chapter!!
Cong Yi tsked, “Fine, fine, fine, I know you like Quiet, you’re happy even when he hammers you to death.”
HAHAHAHAHAHA sounds like jealousy. And sorry captain lu i know you and wei xiao are a match made from heaven but Asleep x Quiet is so adorable i can’t help it 😂
Oh dear u///u Xiao Bai… our captain isn’t as chaste as you think~
But I really do love Bai Cai… Best bestie everrrrrrrr 😅🤧😂
Bai Cai…

Brother Veggie, please close your mouth now or get ready to get pummeled by the Captain 😭 RIP Brother Veggie
