Chapter 705

Liang Yan not responding is correct.

Netizens argued for a few days; seeing Liang Yan never leaked any information, they knew they couldn't get the answer they wanted, and the discussion heat slowly faded.

Lu Wenjun also didn't come again to talk to Liang Yan about the contract; he probably also knew the time wasn't right, and being anxious wouldn't help.

The VG team's days returned to a normal rhythm.

The day they returned was July 11; the LPL regular season's fifth week start time was July 13, with two days of rest in between. Considering that everyone had found it tough to play matches out of province, and especially that the lodging conditions there weren't great, Liang Yan had even fallen ill; after returning, Gao Jun and Zhu Xiaolong discussed the vacation matter, and then came to ask Liang Yan for his opinion.

"Vacation? I agree."

Liang Yan felt a bit puzzled, why ask me about this? I'm not in management.

So the whole team took two days off.

But everyone had already grown accustomed to the rhythm of high-intensity training, and they were all homebodies; unless someone organized something, they usually didn't like going out to play, so for them a vacation just meant being able to sleep in.

On the 12th, around 9 a. m., after breakfast Liang Yan came to the training room and was surprised to find that several people were already there.

Everyone heard the movement, turned around, and greeted him.

Liang Yan responded in surprise. It wasn't strange to see Sima Laozei and Easyhoon here—everyone knew how hard those two worked—but it was odd that Fu Lan Duo, this lazy worm (actually someone's bias), was also present.

Liang Yan felt that today the sun really rose from the west.

Walking over and taking a look, Fu Lan Duo wasn't actually scrolling through KR girl group Dounai Na videos; instead, she had opened the game client and was doing earnest warm-up training.

That was truly unprecedented.

Liang Yan watched for a while, then sat down beside them and turned on his own machine.

By the way, Liang Yan's current position in the training room is leaning against Fu Lan Duo, rather than before when he was next to Xiao Duan and the Marquis.

During the few days when everyone went out to play in the Intercontinental Tournament, Lu Wenjun took the opportunity to have someone tidy up the first team's training room thoroughly; with only a few days, they couldn't do a major overhaul, so it wasn't a full renovation, but they indeed changed quite a few things.

In short, it's simply that VG's training room now—

It looks more high-end, classy, and upscale: they changed the curtains, hung some artworks, and placed a few more potted plants;

The lighting is brighter: they replaced the light fixtures and curtains;

The network speed is faster: they swapped out the network switch and upgraded the bandwidth.

Miscellaneous stuff, but overall the environment improved and looks more pleasing to the eye.

Then, following Tabe's suggestion, everyone casually swapped their training positions; now the VG first team members' training positions are arranged according to their in-game roles, with the spot closest to the wall on the far left belonging to Fu Lan Duo, and moving right naturally: Liang Yan, Easyhoon, Zeze Tai, Sima Laozei, Xiao Duan, Gangzi.

Why put Gangzi's position at the end instead of before Xiao Duan? It's certainly not to exclude, isolate, or bully anyone; rather, it's so that Sima Laozei and Gangzi can both be close enough to communicate with Xiao Duan at the same time, since VG currently has no backup support, while there are two ADs.

The two coaches' positions are behind the players' training seats; no need to elaborate further.

Liang Yan sat down, powered on, messed around for a bit, then glanced at his long-untouched Canyon Peak account, discovering his current score was about to drop out of Master tier, and couldn't help but marvel at how fiercely the Chinese server's monsters grind points.

Liang Yan asked around his teammates' ranks; only Sima Laozei, who likewise hadn't touched the national server in a long time, needed to maintain his rank, so Liang Yan teamed up with Sima Laozei for a duo queue and turned on the livestream at the same time.

【I chovy！】

【Holy shit, I'm hallucinating? The ten-thousand-year pigeon actually went live！】

【Ahhh, went live！】

【……I thought I'd have to wait until my grandson burns incense for me that day】

【He finally brought his talent to the livestream circle】

【You guys are too exaggerated, Yanbao was still streaming last week】

The moment the livestream switched from black screen to live, countless subscribers who had turned on stream alerts rushed in madly; the huge traffic made the platform's servers emit a roar like an excavator engine, almost unable to bear the load.

Within less than ten seconds of going live, Liang Yan's livestream was pushed to the platform's top popularity; several top streamers who had been crushed down also learned from the danmu why their own livestream popularity had plummeted, feeling depressed yet couldn't help but sigh:

Shiyi Ye's popularity is terrifyingly great!

"Cough cough, hello everyone, today I'm resting, just casually streaming."

Danmu: 【Sisters, come on quick! Yanbao said today we can casually kiss！】

"……This livestream prohibits flirtatious behavior; please watch your words and actions."

After greeting the audience, Liang Yan briefly replied to a few danmu, but turned a blind eye to those persistently asking whether he would bring his talent back to G2, casually opened the ranked interface, pulled Sima Laozei in, and directly started playing.

Sima Laozei doesn't like streaming; each month he silently makes up his contract hours in the dead of night and then doesn't stream again. Today he likewise didn't stream, but many viewers recognize his national server ID (limited to publicly tied professional accounts).

Upon discovering that Liang Yan would duo queue with Sima Laozei, the danmu became even livelier.

【Ma Ge: I'm just lying low today】

【Next to him is Sheng Qiang Ge? Wah wah wah, Sheng Qiang Ge was cruelly abandoned】

【Sheng Qiang Ge is already the strongest King, can't duo queue…… Wait for the next time the Canyon's Peak opens King duo queue, lately there's no chance】

【Ma Ge, speak up!】

【Ma Ge, go live!】

【Ma Ge says scram】

【Oh my, today's foot-washing maiden is Sima Laozei!】

Liang Yan saw that last danmu, blinked, looked bewildered, and asked: "What's this 'foot-washing maiden' meme? I've only been gone two or three days, how are you guys inventing new words again?"

The viewers quickly answered his question with smug satisfaction.

It turns out that last night, a post on the Tieba said that Uzi has no championship yet acts like an emperor, with supports called consorts, which is hilarious. The paparazzi's combat power is well known; the post's heat exploded, the thread was heatedly argued, then it went off-topic, and Liang Yan's fans actually started discussing giving Liang Yan consorts, but Liang Yan doesn't go the duo route, where would consorts come from? Then they said that whoever duo queues with Liang Yan is the one receiving favor, and they should give these consorts a loud nickname……

"So you guys came up with the term 'foot-washing maiden'?"

Liang Yan really couldn't hold back, and was utterly defeated; today's netizens are too abstract—if all netizens worldwide were like this, humanity's future would definitely be pitch black.

Liang Yan put his palms together toward the camera: "Please, spare me!"

Unexpectedly, Sima Laozei's voice sounded from beside him: "I think it's fine."

Liang Yan: "???"

Danmu: 【Hahaha, good good, prosperous prosperous, hazy hazy……】
