Chapter 65: Of Course He

Lin Gengxin may be Tang Ren's "defector," but Cai Yinong shouldn't feel physically ill just seeing him.

When Na Zha told her that Bai Liang would be joining Lin Gengxin for a livestream tonight, she actually got interested.

Hehe, time to watch the livestream~

Na Zha naturally felt delighted and quickly started operating her computer.

She wasn't interested in watching Lin Gengxin play games, and Cai Yinong knew it too, but Bai Liang had just "pleased" her, so she wouldn't say anything unpleasant.

Bai Liang: Cai Yinong is pretty easy to appease~

After fiddling for a long time, Na Zha finally found Panda TV.

Luckily, Lin Gengxin had just gone live, and his livestream room was right at the top—quite the prestige.

"Hello everyone~" Lin Gengxin smiled warmly into the screen.

"Isn't there supposed to be a chat feed? Click and take a look." Cai Yinong ordered.

Na Zha naturally complied—and the next second...

"Lin Gou!"

"Wow! Lin Gou!"

"......"

"Puh~" Na Zha couldn't help laughing; she hadn't expected Lin Gengxin's livestream chat to be this entertaining.

The screen was flooded with "Gou," and even Cai Yinong found it hilarious—her annoyance toward Lin Gengxin, the "defector," temporarily faded.

"Where's Bai Liang?"

"I don't know..." Na Zha was frustrated too; she wasn't here to stare at Lin Gengxin's "dog face."

At that moment, Lin Gengxin spoke again in the livestream.

"Hey hey hey, can you hear me?"

"We hear you, we hear you, stop blabbing—where's the Great Immortal? Has he arrived?"

The advantage of chat is that even if Na Zha and Cai Yinong couldn't identify the speaker, the comments would tell them.

"Wang Sicong? That entertainment industry disciplinary committee?" Cai Yinong muttered the name with a hint of wariness.

Who in the entertainment industry wouldn't fear this "worldly demon"? He truly went after anyone and everyone!

Na Zha didn't listen; she kept her eyes wide open, scanning Lin Gengxin's livestream for Bai Liang.

Just as Wang Sicong asked: Has the Great Immortal arrived?

"He'll be here any moment—I just messaged him. He said he's booting up a computer at the internet cafe."

The chat immediately flooded with "Which Great Immortal?"—after all, some streamers also go by "Great Immortal."

Today was Lin Gengxin's day to support Wang Sicong's website, so Wang naturally couldn't let his livestream go cold—he began introducing, "The Great Immortal is an old friend I know, also an actor like Lin Gengxin, and extremely skilled at gaming."

Cai Yinong turned to Na Zha: "He's also good at gaming?"

Na Zha looked confused; she had no idea about Bai Liang's gaming skills—she didn't understand gaming at all.

But after her confusion, she nodded firmly: "He's incredibly smart—he's great at everything!"

This sounded absurd, yet Cai Yinong actually nodded... she found it reasonable.

After all, this guy had already slapped his civil service exam results right in her face. Given that, nothing he did would surprise her.

He could even figure out a photolithography machine!

While they spoke, Bai Liang "came online": "Sorry I'm late—I had a small problem booting up."

The moment he spoke, the chat exploded with "Nan Tong":

"Voice is so nice—wanna date? I'm eighteen, not age."

"No time—you're it, bro!"

"I'm ready. You guys?"

"......."

Na Zha's earlobes turned red as she quickly turned off the chat; suddenly, she felt even the online trolls who cursed her on Weibo were surprisingly restrained...

"What kind of trouble could booting up at an internet cafe cause?" Lin Gengxin asked curiously.

On the other end, Bai Liang paused: "The front desk girl spent a long time checking my ID. She suspected I was underage."

"Bro, you just walked in and started performing—great livestream effect!" Wang Sicong laughed over voice.

"Did you get the registered player status sorted out? I already gave you my ID copy—watch out, I'll pressure you later!" Hearing Wang Sicong's voice, Bai Liang naturally brought up their earlier joke.

Get to experience being a pro player!

"How fast do you expect? What pressure? I'll C every match! Wait—why do I suddenly feel like you're targeting me?" Wang Sicong realized belatedly.

"Lin Gengxin told me to do it." Bai Liang answered honestly.

Livestreaming—give everyone some entertainment value.

One sentence made Lin Gengxin's smile vanish.

Oh no!

But the effect was phenomenal—his livestream chat exploded.

"Where'd you dig up this god? Pressuring Principal Wang? How dare he?"

"Lin Gou, you've gotten too big for your boots—forgot how Principal Wang screamed at you?"

"This guy's insane—an actor? Doesn't he fear Principal Wang shitting on him on Weibo?"

"......."

Lin Gengxin now displayed "actor-level" performance: after a series of forced coughs, he awkwardly changed the subject.

"Great Immortal, your fans have flooded my Weibo comments asking why you haven't verified your account yet."

"It's a hassle—I've just been lazy... I'll get to it after today's game—if anyone gets red-hot, I'll handle it. Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll tag me on Weibo and roast me—our 'Wushen Zhao Zilong' is already roasted enough; if he jumps in, what's left?"

Good good good!

Truly good brothers!

Lin Gengxin and Cai Yi both guessed exactly what tomorrow's marketing accounts would write.

Clearly, compared to last time, Bai Liang hadn't even started fighting yet and already wanted Wang Sicong to turn red with anger.

What could prove better that these two are good brothers?

Those rivals who might have tried to sabotage Bai Liang now couldn't pull off any "sowing discord" smear campaigns.

Sometimes fans are still "kinda cute"—when two entertainers get along well in public, and someone jumps out to compare them, the fans automatically come forward saying, "They're close as can be, what are you trying to stir up?"

Wang Sicong: If I hadn't known today was just for show effects, I'd have cursed you out for sure!

But now~ for the sake of his livestreaming career, he reluctantly said: "Let's start first—can I get you to take the pressure after I've screwed you over?"

The screen was flooded with comments:????

Clearly, the livestream viewers were somewhat confused.

Even more confused was Cai Yinong, who frowned: "What's the relationship between this kid and Wang Sicong?"

Na Zha knew this well and spoke up eagerly: "They played a game together once!"

"That's it?"

"Yeah, back when we went to Xingcheng to record the main camp, he even told me he wanted a chance someday to step on stage and experience esports atmosphere..."

Although Na Zha didn't fully understand these things, she remembered them very clearly.

About Bai Liang, she remembered everything!

Coincidentally, at that moment, a strange girl's voice suddenly appeared in the livestream room, which had already entered gaming mode.

"Your screen went gray—did your character die?"

"Yeah."

"Then did you lose to them?" Another girl's voice appeared.

Bai Liang thought for a moment: "This game has more than one life—you can respawn after dying. I've already killed the opponent five or six times."

"That's so impressive! I only saw your screen go gray once."

"Not bad~"

Wang Sicong couldn't hold back: "Damn it! Big Immortal, how many girls are you playing with beside you?"

Bai Liang protested: "I didn't bring any girls to play—I'm just here with crewmates who happened to come to the internet cafe with me."

"Just tell me how many!"

"Uh… six."

"Awesome!" Lin Gengxin admired.

You're slaughtering in the game, and in real life you're taking on six at once?

Na Zha, watching the livestream right now:????
