Chapter 1222

Upon hearing Luo Quan's promise to release a new song, although the viewers in the bullet comments were all cheering, there were truly few who were particularly excited.

On one hand, she had just released a new album not long ago, so everyone wasn't that eager for new music; on the other hand, they likely felt that since Luo Quan was returning to the grand stage of League of Legends after such a long time, she should naturally bring a new song with her.

Since it was something that would happen as a matter of course, how could everyone pour out overly intense emotions?

Of course, they were still quite happy; who wouldn't be happy about Luo Quan releasing a new song? Moreover, it was the only Chinese song in the history of S-tournament theme songs, which was a level of prestige that was far from ordinary.

Before this, League of Legends had only released English and Korean songs. Even though China was clearly the country with the most League of Legends players, they had only managed to get a few lines of Chinese lyrics in a single Korean song after all these years.

This was truly too unfair, which is why Chinese players had long been clamoring for Riot to provide a Chinese song.

Now it was finally settled: the planners had heard the players' calls, not only arranging for a Chinese song but also inviting Luo Quan.

Regardless of whether they play League of Legends or not, who doesn't know that Luo Quan is currently the most sought-after singer both domestically and abroad?

Any random new song of hers easily gains millions or tens of millions of views on the day of its release, and only this kind of traffic is worthy of a game at the level of League of Legends.

"This counts as one of the few pieces of good news heard in the last few days."

"Have the planners finally been scolded awake by everyone and started doing their jobs?"

"They just needed a scolding; I bet we wouldn't have these things without it. It seems we'll have to increase the intensity in the future."

"What's the song title? Is it high-energy? I don't want it if it doesn't make me tap my feet."

"I hope it's like 'Faded'. I remember the time that song was most popular was the day I started playing League of Legends."

"Haha, this electronic track has been used by all the major League of Legends streamers, and it really brought a lot of new players into the game."

"Speaking of which, Luo Bao hasn't released an electronic track in a long time."

"Take it slow; Luo Bao is releasing all kinds of musical styles, so there will eventually be a turn for electronic music."

"I don't know if it will be this time."

………………

Fans are still very concerned about the musical style of the song. As far as playing games is concerned, more high-energy songs can bring quite a boost to performance.

Especially when making video edits, the more high-energy the song, the better the atmosphere created.

However, the client's request was for her to bring a deeper song, arguing that there were already enough high-energy tracks and that the style could be appropriately changed this time.

In addition, the lyrics still had to be positive and have an inspirational effect.

The difficulty wasn't high, but it dashed Luo Quan's idea of pulling out an electronic track to have fun with everyone, so Luo Quan had no choice but to change to another work.

"The song this time is called 'Lone Brave', and it will meet everyone on the anniversary stage. I won't reveal the specific details here; everyone just look forward to the anniversary."

Luo Quan announced the name of the song in advance, but that was all.

"'Lone Brave', the name sounds a bit strange."

"Sigh, aren't all songs like this now? They have to be mysterious to be memorable."

"I still prefer something more high-energy."

"Just give us an electronic track; playing games without electronic music doesn't feel right."

"Indeed."

………………

Seeing that the fans' interest was not at all on the Chinese song, Luo Quan scratched her head in frustration.

However, the fans' demands were her motivation. After considering for a while, she said: "Actually, for this stage appearance, I have prepared more than one song. There is one for the S-tournament theme song, and there is also one for the LPL's eighth anniversary. I originally wanted to save this surprise for the eighth-anniversary stage."

"But since everyone's demands are so strong, let's bring it out early. Besides, this eighth-anniversary track is an electronic one, both good to listen to and high-energy, absolutely meeting everyone's needs."

This time, the fans could no longer pretend to be reserved; they exhausted everything they had learned in their lives to express their love and praise for Luo Quan:

"Starting today, I declare that you are my god!"

"As expected of you, Luo Bao, you can always bring me something new."

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't let us down, Luo Bao."

"The guys at the Anti-League Bar were just complaining that you were here to cash in and weren't putting in effort, but now they've all been slapped in the face."

"Nonsense, we at the Anti-League Bar have always been Luo Quan's die-hard fans. Which time hasn't she been chosen as the Anti-League Bar goddess?"

"Chosen to fantasize about, right? One after another licking the screen and calling her wife; don't think the B-site users don't know."

"Damn, aren't you guys calling her that just as enthusiastically? Why can you do it but I can't?"

"The quality of the Tieba forum is too low, full of filthy language. We at B-site are the ones who truly like Luo Quan; the nature is completely different."

"Damn, you've developed a sense of superiority from being a sycophant?"

"Wrong, we guys at the Anti-League Bar are also Luo Bao's sycophants. Who wouldn't like to fawn over such a perfect goddess?"

………………

Luo Quan truly didn't expect that because of such a small matter, users from two platforms could start arguing in the bullet comments.

However, the number of B-site users who are 'out of this world' is indeed not as high as on Tieba, and when it comes to expressing love, they aren't as straightforward.

Of course, this kind of straightforwardness can also be seen as a lack of quality. After all, how can one start fantasizing about the 'lower three paths' the moment they see a pretty girl? No matter how free the internet is, the most basic respect should still exist.

However, Tieba users seem quite weak in this regard, but in fact, this is also what the vast majority of men would fantasize about after seeing a pretty girl; it's just that Tieba users say it out loud the first chance they get, while others only dare to stop at the stage of internal fantasy.

Luo Quan felt that her speaking up to persuade them probably wouldn't have much effect. After all, the overlap of platform users is already large, especially between B-site and Tieba; many people use both, and League of Legends players are especially so.

If she were to rashly take sides, not only would it fail to end the argument, but it might even exacerbate the conflict, and she would offend both sides.

Simply put, she decided not to persuade them and directly clicked on the folder, starting to play a song called "Power of the Flood" (PS: the original song is called Ngauhung).

The clear sound of the zither rang out. At first listen, one might think it was some kind of pure Chinese-style music, tranquil and pleasant to the ear.

This music seemed to possess a magical power. After it started, the arguments in the bullet comments suddenly became sparse, as if people had stopped their 'laning' at this moment and were listening carefully to this sudden music.

As the rhythm of the song gradually accelerated, electronic sounds began to occupy the main position of the song, and the atmosphere was pushed from tranquility to high-energy by the increasingly dynamic melody.

After reaching the climax, the fast-paced and repetitive drum beats knocked on the listeners' hearts one by one, making their chests pump and jump because of the rhythm of the song.

At this moment, they finally heard the long-lost high-energy song, which was also the battle song that the players had been thinking about.

If one plays ranked games while listening to this track, why worry about not reaching Master rank?

The content of this "Power of the Flood" is not long, ending in less than three minutes.

But the excitement it brought to the fans lasted for half a day without the slightest fading.

After the song ended, no one was arguing in the bullet comments anymore. More than half were praising the song for being good, shouting 'Long live Luo Bao' and 'Master is awesome', while the remaining small half were begging Luo Quan to put the song on the shelves quickly, even if the single cost 5 yuan, they would place an order without hesitation.

"This is a much bigger boost than game skins, and it's cheaper than skins!"

"The eighth anniversary hasn't even started yet, and I'm already feeling satisfied. This song made me find the feeling of playing games all night with my brothers back in the day."

"Internet cafe, headphones, music playing, logging in, insta-locking Yasuo; I really miss it, but unfortunately, we can't go back."

"I haven't played League for several years. I happen to have some free time these few days, so I'll return to the game to play a bit."

"Ionia +1!"

"Bilgewater +1!"

"Demacia +1!"

"Black Rose +1!"

………………

Luo Quan truly didn't expect that an electronic track could actually become the catalyst for these players who had quit the game to return.

And looking at the overwhelming names of League of Legends regions in the bullet comments, the number of people returning to the game this time is quite huge.

This also made Luo Quan wonder: could it be that the fans watching her stream are all so old?

League of Legends has been popular for so many years. If they are old users who entered and then quit, they are at least in their mid-twenties or even thirty years old now.

Isn't it said that those who like her are mostly students and young people? Why are there so many 'half-step middle-aged' people jumping out now?

Of course, doubts are doubts, but Luo Quan certainly wouldn't say such things out loud.

Women don't like being told they are old; do men like it?

No one is willing to face the passage of time, it's just that women are more sensitive, after all, the traces that time adds to their faces are more obvious.

But this doesn't mean men don't mind; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many men's skincare products.

In short, one simple operation by Luo Quan kept the Ionia region in a 'full' state starting from noon. Every time one logged in, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the queue. Players who didn't know the truth were stunned:

"Is the anniversary early? Battle Night isn't today either, why are there so many people?"

"Damn, the server is about to explode; even opening the store is lagging like crazy."

"The good news is that every mode is an instant queue now; there are just too many people."

"Even my ranked queue speed in a suburban region has become much faster; it's truly like the sun rising from the west."

"Don't you all know? The new song Luo Bao wrote for the anniversary has been released. It's already exploding in popularity on many platforms, and now it's all players returning to the game."

"I only use Tieba; who is Luo Bao?"

"Luo Quan, the number one female Bodhisattva of the Anti-League Bar. Poor brothers can also appreciate her swimsuit photos; you can get a photo pack without paying."

"If you put it that way, then I know. Luo Quan is indeed a good person, a person who has detached from low-level interests, a person who always keeps the poor brothers in her heart."

"Pfft, what kind of descriptions are these? Luo Bao would probably vomit blood if she saw this."

"Let me clarify, we at the Anti-League Bar are just like this, but Luo Bao has immunity from being scolded at the Anti-League Bar; this kind of treatment isn't something an ordinary person can have."

"I can't appreciate B-site's two-dimensional culture, but if it's Luo Quan, then simple fantasizing is definitely a must."

………………

Fortunately, Luo Quan doesn't look at Tieba much, otherwise, she would probably go black in front of her eyes.

On B-site, where language expression is generally more subtle, who would dare to tease her like that?

So sometimes, when surfing the internet, one still needs to be selective.

Knowing that Tieba people speak as they please, don't go there to join the fun. After all, the catchphrase of most people there is to 'beat a suburban county'.

Those who don't understand don't know the reason, and those who understand will only feel it's absurd.

But all in all, the warm-up for this anniversary was quite successful. An electronic track directly helped the daily active users of the League of Legends national server return to their peak level.

Originally, the planners thought such a grand occasion would only appear on the night of the anniversary, but they didn't expect it to be achieved as soon as Luo Quan made an official announcement. It can be seen how huge the bonus a star with national popularity brings to a product is.

Originally, in this market full of competing products, everyone was in a situation of wanting to buy but also wanting to compare prices for a product.

But once they saw that Luo Quan was endorsing it, they figured it was relatively reliable in all aspects, so they bought it directly.

The same logic applies to games.

There are so many games to play in one's free time, and League of Legends' competitiveness has long been unable to compare with various mobile games, but suddenly seeing that Luo Quan was going to be at the anniversary, and even specifically wrote two new songs.

Once they heard the new song, the desire to play a couple of Yasuo games became irresistible.

Whether they 'feed' or not is not important; what's important is being able to experience that feeling of freedom of 'e-ing' back and forth. Nothing is happier than this.

That's why many players say that successfully inviting Luo Quan is the most correct decision the game planners have made in these years.

Whether the planners' family members can be resurrected is unknown, but those long-dormant player avatars were collectively resurrected today. Even the business at internet cafes is much better; looking around, it's all groups of working people around thirty playing games together.

Then, an electronic track called "Power of the Flood" was playing in the internet cafe lobby, and everyone couldn't help but tap their feet after hearing it.

As for Luo Quan, after playing three more rounds of Ultra Rapid Fire alone, she finally opened the ranked queue under the instigation of the bullet comments.

Having had enough entertainment and having found her 'feel' for the game, it was naturally time to play ranked and increase the intensity.

Compared to watching Luo Quan slaughter in Ultra Rapid Fire, they preferred to see Luo Quan being tortured by opponents in ranked.

It would be best if there could be a Rengar player who doesn't act like a human, targeting Luo Quan from level two, and just like dealing with other female streamers, grabbing Luo Quan until she cries.

However, for mere Platinum-level placement matches, wanting to break her defense is a bit too whimsical.

Although her climb to Challenger was quite difficult, no matter how difficult, she is still a Challenger.

Is there any difficulty in playing Platinum?

Playing with her feet would be a slaughter!

So Luo Quan played a 'boosting' hero like Nidalee in the jungle, grabbing and exploding all three lanes, and truly pushing the base flat in twenty minutes.

However, perhaps her attitude was too arrogant. After achieving a three-game winning streak, Luo Quan finally welcomed sanctions.

In the fourth game, she was matched with an extremely 'pit' Yasuo in the mid-lane, who single-handedly sent the game to a loss.
