That One Rich Fan of MineChapter 19

Editor: Uncia, Sahloknir

At the beginning of the game, Lin Xizhou was very unfortunately assigned to support.

He toughened up and tearlessly selected a support champion that he rarely used, intending to deliberately play slightly worse to cover his true identity.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

But his muscle memory betrayed him, as every time Ji Beiling was in the slightest danger, Lin Xizhou would unconsciously go up to block skills for his ADC. He didn’t even take a single CS from Ji Beiling.

Although the selected fans did not reveal their identities after entering, there were still many spectators in the bullet screen who were guessing which player was the local tyrant Custard Cream Pineapple Bun. Meanwhile, Lin Xizhou was having a mental breakdown and did not feel the thrill of playing games with North God at all. Tension spread all the way to his scalp, and all he wanted was to end this game as soon as possible. ZzW2iF

The more Ji Beiling played, the more he felt that his support played just like a certain someone—it was difficult for players to change their little habits. Why did this play style become more and more like…

Like that little fan of his, Congee?

Ji Beiling frowned. He couldn’t recall the meaning of ‘Congee’ in English, so he took advantage of Recall’s long cast time and did a quick Baidu search. Sure enough, ‘Congee’ could also mean ‘Porridge’.

Ji Beiling remembered Mother Lin told him that Lin Xizhou used to throw tantrums on wanting to play professionally…

Hkny1s

This couldn’t be that coincidental, could it?

In his mind, he pictured a young Lin Xizhou sitting in front of his computer playing the solo match between them but then making an angry expression from not being able to defeat the older boy…

Ji Beiling couldn’t resist smiling.

In a pleasant mood, he glanced happily at the little support behind him. The support spun and turned around him. 5JOKbo

The bullet screen was filled with questions.

[??? Why is North God smiling]

[Oh God, smiled so well QQQQ this female fan is crying for real]

[North God is looking at the screen smiling???] SCNIQF

[I am pregnant from his look…]

With Ji Beiling’s live stream open on a tablet beside him, Lin Xizhou felt completely uneasy at Ji Beiling’s smile, and his WeChat was going crazy from messages from his assistant, Qi Qi.

Qi Qi: [Little Porridge!! What do you think you’re doing? My God! Are you aware how many of your fans know this account of yours?!]

Qi Qi: [I saw one of your big fans posted your game using their alt account in the fan club!!!] UF wWA

Qi Qi: [Don’t you have other accounts? Why must you use this account! Are you trying to anger me to an early death! Why didn’t you use that old account of yours!!!]

Lin Xizhou’s head was a mess. He played the game while thinking about how to solve this whole thing and didn’t pay attention to the jungler that was camping in the lane bush. He brainlessly went toward that bush and was hard CCed.

His screen darkened instantly.

The bullet screen was filled with question marks and comments such as [Such a noob support].

Qi Qi: [Bro!! There are fans watching the livestream as well. At least play seriously, draw forth your inner challenger talent!]

Lin Xizhou: […Could you please make up your mind on what I’m supposed to do!] xpiQCy

His spirit crumbled to the ground as he shook his head, planning to ignore everything that was happening and start playing the rest of the game well.

Just as he cheered himself up and waited for his death timer, North God’s face on his livestream suddenly changed.

The formerly smiling man was now void of any emotion and was more focused and serious than on the stage—he looked terrifying even.

Lin Xizhou swallowed his saliva…it was over. Did his careless mistake cause Ji Beiling to be angry? EQ2g6m

As soon as his death timer hit zero, his champion revived at the fountain, and he immediately ran back to his lane. But who would have expected that before he got to the bot lane, the game announced that an enemy champion was killed—originally, the three greedy enemies wanted to go for one more kill, but instead, their tower drive failed. Not only did they not get a second kill, but they also lost their jungler to the tower.

The direction of the bullet screen had changed again.

The audience that was cussing out the support just now was praising North God with sixes, plus a large message that said [Woah, North God is so kind. Took revenge for the little support!!!].

Lin Xizhou blushed as he rushed to Ji Beiling’s side. tmdsJZ

Just now, the opposite bot lane failed the tower drive and started their Recall in the lane bush with low HP.

Ji Beiling landed a precise Q to learn the enemy bot lane’s position and then closed the distance between them using his ultimate. The end result was him cutting the two like a hot knife through butter, and killing them where they stood.

Originally, Ji Beiling planned to throw the community game. Instead, he was now blazing a new trail with his support, all the way to the enemy’s base.

Lin Xizhou, who did absolutely nothing for the rest of the game after his stupid death, followed Ji Beiling in a daze as the game ended quickly. QosxRJ

He looked at the animation of the enemy’s Nexus explosion and back at his tablet with the opened live stream where Ji Beiling’s head was lowered. The older man had picked up his phone and was typing something on it.

Meanwhile, a new WeChat message showed up on the tablet.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Northland: [Congee?]

Ah—???

Lin Xizhou almost threw his tablet against the wall.

He was playing so horribly and his idol could still see through his disguise?!!

He stared desperately at the chat. sfop d

If he knew he was going to be found out, he should have used his Congee account from the start?! He suffered a loss after trying to trick the older man!

The livestream was still on, showing Ji Beiling looking down at his phone and smiling again.

Northland: [Still not admitting?]

With fear in his eyes, Lin Xizhou replied as if his head was buried in the sand. jciYFT

Zhou Not Porridge: [Hahahaha, I’ve been found out!]

Northland: [Do you like me that much?]

Holy cow! Lin Xizhou read the message. What was North God saying!!! He fiddled with his fingers and replied after a long hesitation.

Zhou Not Porridge: [North God is my idol for life!] 4wKaiH

Ji Beiling did not reply back. Instead, he lifted his head up and opened a new lobby.

From his tablet, a clear voice with a hint of teasing came from his tablet’s speaker.

“I know some fans like me very much, but they have to give others a chance.”

Lin Xizhou heard Ji Beiling’s words and knew who the host was talking to immediately. He could feel his ears burning. hJY52n

He quickly exited out of the client and closed the livestream. He threw himself onto his bed and wrapped himself into a cocoon.

On WeChat, Qi Qi was sending messages to him like crazy again.

Qi Qi: [Look at what you did!! [link] [link]]

Lin Xizhou clicked on the link and found a Weibo side account. bR7B0U

Mobile Users 1220: [My god, this is too good to not ship [image]]

The picture was a screenshot from today’s game where he and Ji Beiling’s characters were right next to each other, with both of their IDs visible.

He scrolled through these Weibo accounts and found that Ji Beiling and he seemed to have been made into a CP, and that numerous fans seemed to be very interested.

Even a super topic was created. Although it was still empty, there were several search results. 0NteET

He clicked on one of them—

[Lin Xizhou was pressed down by Ji Beiling who asked, “Was my technique good? Gaming technique or…my other technique, which is better?”]

Fuck me. ZUgNt9

He almost dropped his phone from shock.

He sent a dozen ‘Confused Nick Young’ memes to Qi Qi. mGy0 l

Zhou Not Porridge: [Do you look at these during your free time?]

Qi Qi replied instantly.

Qi Qi: [What do you mean, these are a few of your biggest fans’ side accounts, alright! You are paired in a CP with your only idol. Are you not worried about this? Oh, you’re driving me insane!]

Lin Xizhou opened his Weibo with his ears blushing brightly. k026Th

This time, he switched to his side account.

Then…

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

He silently followed the ‘BaiZhou’ super topic.

It was a slip of his hand, just a simple mistake, Lin Xizhou chanted to himself while burying his entire being into his large quilt. 5INd7R

A handsome figure with his hands typing away on the keyboard flashed through Lin Xizhou’s mind. He let out an unrestrainable howl.

“Gah!!!”

Why didn’t Ji Beiling enter the entertainment industry? He would be so happy to be paired with this type of person!!!

He reopened Ji Beiling’s livestream and listened to the sound of Ji Beiling’s quiet voice until he slowly fell asleep. toQjCH

Ji Beiling didn’t stay streaming for long, as he shut off his stream soon after.

He got up and left his seat. Walking out onto his balcony, he lit a cigarette.

There was a surge of uncontrollable heat inside him. When he learned that Custard Cream Pineapple Bun was Congee, although he was surprised, there was a feeling like that was how it should be—like…he seemed to have expected it.

Congee’s sincerity and clear adoration overlapped with Lin Xizhou’s face, and Ji Beiling’s image of him in his head became much more beautiful. prvbgy

Ji Beiling could hear his beating heart speeding up during this endless night.

A blurry thought inside of his heart.

One that couldn’t be put into words.


The translator has something to add: gJU7ep

Teo: Urr, the only champion that has a far range Q with a movement skill R is Sivir. So I’ll put her spotlight below. So there is a part in the story where Ji Beiling is at the gaming house and could hear his teammate, but the following chapter, he just returned to the gaming house with suitcases. Instead of changing it, I just removed the whole thing.

Possible Feature Champions:

Sivir (Oh god is the pre-visual update Sivir)

Translator's Note

Slang terms for novice or newcomer. Newb means someone that is new and thus inexperienced, but willing to learn. Noob is an insult to both newcomer and experienced players that play badly or refuse to learn or listen to directions.

Translator's Note

6666 is often used by camera and commenters on livestream platform because it is homophones to liu (溜), which means good luck and used to show their admiration/ praise.

Translator's Note

掩耳盜鈴, literally means cover one’s ears whilst stealing a bell. To deceive oneself or to ignore a problem or an unpleasant situation and hope that it will disappear.

Let’s pretend this is an image and not a gif. I used a preexisting media in the CG drive instead of uploading my own :)
