“Stream?”
“Of course, doesn’t master always stream his basketball machine games? The competition is a great stream material. Master, are you sure you don’t want to turn it on?”
“I guess.”
Meng Fan thought for a moment and took out his phone, logging into 8th Station. “Then can you hold the phone for me? Try not to film anyone else for too long. They might not want to be on stream.”
“Master is so considerate!”
Qu Jing Jing directed the camera at Meng Fan while patting herself on the chest to ensure. “Jing Jing did not intend to film others.”
Meng Fan smiled bitterly, pounding his chest heroically. This was too inconsistent, but he didn’t know if he should remind her to get into character.
“Wow, you hit 1000 viewers so fast.”
Qu Jing Jing was naturally very familiar with the operation page of the stream. After asking Meng Fan, she changed the announcement so that the netizens who would join would have an idea regarding what the host was streaming.
The three other cute girls in maid costumes also gathered to see; they then quickly entered their roles and resumed their place next to Meng Fan. They didn’t come just to be on camera, but it was okay to indulge a little. Although it didn’t benefit them directly to be on stream, it was still spiritually enjoyable!
The four of them were all students from the animation department and avid cosplay enthusiasts. They often participated in various performances and platform activities. They weren’t at the level of seeking to be famous, but they would always cherish an opportunity to perform.
With tens of thousands of viewers, there was no better “stage” than Meng Fan’s stream.
Of course, if Meng Fan insisted on not streaming, they wouldn’t turn their faces and leave, although they would be slightly disappointed.
They had a good impression of Meng Fan, though it wasn’t strong enough to like him, but they were all willing to interact and get to know him further.
It made sense. Who wasn’t a little selfish? Otherwise, why would they come so far to this event to perform… They could have just find another “master” anywhere.
The cute girls appeared in the stream window once again, only in a different maid costume than what they wore during the day. The netizens were overjoyed. Looking again, they realized he was going to stream the Hangzhou qualifiers of the CGL basketball competition this evening, but who cared about that? It was trivial. What mattered was the presence of the pretty girls… There would be a show tonight.
The preliminaries began at 6:00. At this time, the number of viewers in the stream room exceeded 10,000, and it was still rapidly rising.
The contestants in Group A got in place with eleven people standing in front of eleven respective machines. Before they began, the machines had been tested by the staff of the CGL organization, ensuring they met the requirements for the competition.
Pao bro was in group A, and he was assigned to machine #5.
“From the registration results for this event, Pao bro is going to become pummeled like gunpowder.”
Da Fei gave a big encouraging thumbs up to Pao, but his words to Meng Fan were not encouraging in the least. “The grouping is based on registration results, plus in both Groups A and B, they’ve added a squid from group C to increase the viewing pleasure. I took a look at it, and everyone in group A had a score between 400 and 500, so this includes Pao. The squid’s score was 550. If the registration results were not fake and everyone played normally, Pao bro won’t be able to make it to top 5 this round.”
“So you’re saying there are five people who registered today with scores over 680?” Meng Fan’s registration score was 680, so he placed 6th in group C.
“Of course not, anything over 600 is already city level. The internal order of the group is obviously disrupted. Judging by the registration results, you’re number two. Another guy reported 685, only five points more than you.”
Da Fei pointed at one of the players awaiting his turn. It wasn’t some in-depth analysis but just mere banter. “This guy didn’t play his best during the qualifiers, so he came to the store to get an admission ticket. Of course, with your skills, even if you play poorly and someone else played extraordinarily well, you will still get the championship.”
To Da Fei, Meng Fan was a god that was able to score 800 points!
Group A’s event ended fast indeed just like Da Fei predicted. The average strength from group A was not strong, and all the scores hovered in the 400 to 500 point zone. Pao scored 435, and even the squid with a 550 registration score had been negatively affected and only scored 500. There was even one halfhearted brother who suddenly collapsed and gave up, scoring in the low 100s.
Coincidentally, this was the same scummy youth who had promised the cute girls in maid costumes that he would beat the iron tower.
The scummy youth almost cried out. He suddenly ran toward Meng Fan and fiercely came to a halt. Immediately, he bowed to Meng Fan. “Sorry, I was bull sh*tting!”
His action startled Meng Fan out of his skin. Meng Fan didn’t know how to comfort him. He then thought about it and handed him a tissue. He let it sank in for a second. “Wipe your mouth, it’s not good to have your lungs be too powerful.”
The scummy youth holding the tissue hesitated for a long time before responding.
On the side, people were already laughing out loud. It made sense now why these four maids had followed this guy as their master. He really was a gentleman.
After they recorded the scores, group B began getting ready.
Without question, group B was much stronger than group A. The final results all scored above 450 with three people exceeding 500 and the highest being 575. The highest score was from a squid stuck in with a registration score of 590.
Quickly, it was Meng Fan’s turn when group C’s turn approached.
“You guys have to destroy this demon king!”
Meng Fan was still heading to his position when he heard the cry of indignation. Of course, it was the same scummy youth. He didn’t know if it was he who realized or if someone had told him.
Only this voice was quickly covered while the four maids, including Qu Jing Jing, waved their small fists in the air and turned on their glow sticks, cheering for Meng Fan. “Master you can do it!”
And they said that in Japanese.
It wasn’t the volume that overwhelmed the scummy youth but the sweetness, numbness, and the exotic stimulation…
The jealousy that had subsided among the onlookers was ignited once again. They were all here for the same competition, so why was the difference so big?
Envy could make one ugly. It could make one angry, and it could make one unrecognizable. It could make one’s heart accelerate, and it could make one’s genes mutate. Envy could make… Envy could make one jealous!
‘I wish I had an army of maids with me everywhere I go!’
“Kill the demon king, save the maid army!”
It wasn’t clear who said that, but it suddenly became the slogan to derail Meng Fan.
Meng Fan was stunned. ‘Sure, you can come after me, but how can you involve saving the maids too? Can you not see that I am the passive one here?’
Upon seeing this, the organizers were also baffled. How could the scene of the game change on such a whim!
It was rather… Interesting?!
The event was just about to begin, but the organizer remained still as the slogan was called out several times.
It was even more lively in the stream room, where the viewers had taken out their stools and were munching on sunflower seeds, waving a small flag on the verge of joining the cheers…
Finally, the competition began. Meng Fan converted his depression into power and began without holding back.
Whoosh whoosh. His first round was not the greatest, netting a score of 231. However, he found the feeling during the second round, scoring 470. He then made 666 points by the third round. His final score was 745.
This result was all too familiar to Meng Fan, who had already accomplished it on several arcade machines. If he had warmed up, this would have been a negative performance. But to the spectators, it was different. By the third round, the crowd was silent.
After group C finished their game, they all immediately rushed to check Meng Fan’s score. Seeing his result, their attitudes seemed to have been affected by the scummy youths, crowding over to apologize.
“Sorry, I was also bull sh*tting!”
“Stream?”
“Of course, doesn’t master always stream his basketball machine games? The competition is a great stream material. Master, are you sure you don’t want to turn it on?”
“I guess.”
Meng Fan thought for a moment and took out his phone, logging into 8th Station. “Then can you hold the phone for me? Try not to film anyone else for too long. They might not want to be on stream.”
