Chapter 76 - It’s not unreasonable for me to hate the rich
The stream followers were momentarily stunned before they followed up with an immediate response.
[Wtfffffffffff?? What smell???]
[Wait, how do you know that’s my son’s smell???]
[Fucking hell, this is too gay, 8. Who can stand this ?]
The barrage was blabla-blaing on and had managed to send two screens worth of messages before Yu Yan took action.
“It’s probably because… the hotel had good quality shower gel.” His ears were burning. He subconsciously lowered his head to sniff himself. “Maybe that’s why the smell lasts for a while?”
Yi Chen leaned back slightly and rested his head on the back of the chair. The fragrance lightly lingered around him; it smelt very pleasant.
“Maybe .”
With that, he opened StarTV on his desktop browser and entered the livestream, accompanied by his chariot entrance special effect.
The person, whose video image was being displayed in the lower right corner of the streaming window, saw his entrance. At first, his eyes slightly brightened, but then an unnatural expression appeared on his face as he greeted him, “Welcome to the livestream, 1.”
Yi Chen laughed and couldn’t help but pick up his cellphone to send him a WeChat message.
: So formal?
Little Anchor: …
Little Anchor: Then, how do you want me to welcome you…?
: When calling out my name, you should be a little more enthusiastic.
Yu Yan subconsciously looked up at the number of viewers displayed on the counter on his stream, held his cellphone, and took a deep breath——
With such a kind of thing suddenly happening—why did it carry feelings of shame and excitement, just like that of a clandestine love affair?!
[Yanyan’s face is so red, did he overdo his filter?]
[Is the person above new? Yanyan’s heavily dependent on his good-looking face; he never turns on filters during his livestreams :)]
[Ah, I see. Thank you, Jie/Mei.]
After seeing Yu Yan flustered to this state but still trying to frantically type, Yi Chen was satisfied.
: It’s also fine if you wait until after the livestream to call out my name.
Little Anchor: …
Yi Chen wondered if he had teased him too much and was just about to yield a bit when—
Little Anchor: Then, I’ll just owe you for now.
Little Anchor: Wait until after my livestream is done, then I’ll call out your name for you to hear.
：…
: Okay.
Wearing a completely shy expression, Yu Yan quickly put down his cellphone and didn’t dare to reply again.
“Manyang’s weather has been hot lately, and I didn’t turn on the air conditioner, so it’s hot in here.” Seeing that the barrage was still joking around, he quickly said, “…Then, I’ll queue for a match?”
Just as he said that, a message suddenly flashed over his head on the screen.
[Little Fairy Wants A Hug has sent out a meteor shower.]
[Little Fairy Wants A Hug: Sent 2000 yuan worth of gifts, getting on the bus.]
Everyone was stunned.
“Sorry, today I’m playing another game so I’m not carrying stream followers.” Yu Yan was also stunned. He recognized this name; wasn’t it the liar who Lu Xiuhe kept talking about? “This gift can be kept until the next time you get on the bus, or I can refund half of it.”
Their couple name was especially lovey-dovey, so as soon as the little fairy appeared, many stream followers recognized it.
[Isn’t this the girlfriend of the anchor’s friend? With this kind of relationship, she still needs to line up to get on the bus?]
Lu Xiuhe didn’t say a word, but desperately sent a message on QQ——
Your Great Lord Lu: Save me!!!!! Save me !!!!!
Yu Yan hesitated for a moment before going against his conscience and saying, “Maybe it’s just someone with the same name …”
[Little Fairy Wants A Hug: It’s not just the same name. I already logged in and my ID hasn’t changed; pull me into the party.]
“&#k2026;&#k2026;”
Yu Yan saw Lu Xiuhe frantically spam him with messages to save him and so acted blind, as if he hadn’t even seen the message in the barrage.
Who would’ve expected that a swish sound would appear, and their party suddenly gained another person.
Little Fairy Wants A Hug.
Yi Chen had directly and nimbly pulled this person into their party and asked, “Queue?”
A male voice sounded out. He seemed to have a cold since his voice was a bit hoarse. “Queue.”
A moment of silence ensued in the livestream barrage. Soraka very obediently dropped down a Q, earning a double kill.
Lu Xiuhe only earned two assists and left the lane in tears.
Maybe this was the price the boss was making him pay for his upgraded airplane seat .
[…How should I put it? Boss 1 is truly playing like a Warwick. When I play as Soraka, every time I see low health, I reflexively heal; I can’t help it. But he can just directly ignore his dying teammates and seriously achieve the “My eyes only contain the ADC” mentality. I admire him.]
[Are you sure what he did was only “having the ADC in his eyes”? It’s good that Xiao Yan is playing bot in this match. If he was playing anything else, I’m afraid that the ADC wouldn’t even see the Soraka after 15 minutes.]
At this moment, Little Fairy, who had been silent up until now, had nimbly managed to kill the top-laner who had tried to gank him. Although his words were pleasant, the tone that he spoke with contained traces of sarcasm. “Baby, if you come to mid, I’ll give you all my kills.”
Lu Xiuhe cursed, “You fucking…”
[Is this really a girl?? No matter how you listen to this voice, it’s a man . The anchor’s friend has truly been bent into a gay guy.]
“You fucking… why is it so nice to listen to you speak?” Lu Xiuhe’s words took a huge turn. “I’m actually fucking going over there right now.”
“En.” Little Fairy lightly said, “If you keep cursing so much, I won’t like you anymore oh.”
Lu Xiuhe: “…”
While Lu Xiuhe went to gank the mid lane, the opposing jungler went down to the bot lane. They went around the jungle and came from behind. Because Yi Chen didn’t notice in time, the enemy jungler caught them by surprise.
Fortunately, the two of them weren’t that extended and were closer to their side. They were almost about to successfully escape with just a sliver of health remaining when the enemy Lucian suddenly used their ultimate ability, and countless bullets hit Yi Chen.
Just before Yi Chen died, a mysterious sort of play occurred——
With a crackle, the Tristana that had previously successfully escaped suddenly turned around and landed right behind the healer, blocking the last few deadly bullets.
Yu Yan’s screen immediately grayed out. After confirming that Soraka had smoothly escaped, he calmly opened up the shop and bought himself a B.F. Sword.
[As a person who plays support all-year round I can’t watch this anymore. I just have to say that I’ve fallen in love with this kind of ADC.]
[The ADC in exchange for a support? It’s a big loss .]
“Not a loss.” Yu Yan said, “Soraka just got a double kill, so the bounty reward is 400 gold.”
Looking at the Tristana lying on the ground, Yi Chen asked, “How much money is it… to get the equipment needed so that I can get stronger?”
Yu Yan didn’t play support too often. He thought about it and named two items, “Ardent Censer and Redemption?”
Yi Chen opened up the shop and found the two items that Yu Yan had mentioned. He looked at the amount of gold he needed to buy them and then said, “I don’t have enough gold.”
Yu Yan said, “That’s fine. You’ll get enough after you get a few more assists.”
Yi Chen asked, “Can you pay for items with real money?”
Yu Yan: “?”
Yi Chen continued to ask, “Also, there aren’t many item slots, so can I spend money to buy more slots?”
Yu Yan: “…”magic
“I can’t find the place to charge money,” continued Yi Chen.
[?]
[Consider this as me begging you to shut up . Don’t say this bullshit. What if you’re heard by Riot Games?]
[So it’s not unreasonable for me to hate the rich…]
“You can’t buy items with real money; items can only be bought with the gold earned in the match.” The stream followers all thought that Yi Chen was joking, but only Yu Yan knew that he was serious.
Thinking of the earnest manner in which the man had asked the question, Yu Yan laughed. “In LoL and PUBG, you can only buy skins and items like name changes with real money.”
Yi Chen heard his words. He let out a displeased “en”, frowned, and then bought some of the recipe items to build the Ardent Censer.
What was the matter with the game companies now?
He remembered that a few years ago, Yi Ran had been addicted to an MMORPG and the way to play it was particularly simple and crude—by spending money.
By using money, you could have the highest quality equipment and summoning beasts.
Whoever had the most money was everyone else’s daddy. No matter how skilled the other players were, it was useless.
Although he had never touched those sort of online games, he very much missed those simple and straightforward pay-to-win type of games.

Juurensha: I’m pretty sure Boss Yi is the only one wanting MORE pay to play. Although I do wonder if the game Yi Ran was addicted to happens to be NCH from GHFOD…. And LXH’s “gf” cracks me up, long-suffering and just playing along still. And thank you to Divi again for providing so much pro feedback for the LoL parts!
Divi: And that’s why these types of competitive games are so popular… LoL, PUBG, APEX, Valorant, Fortnite…. Because you can’t pay-to-win your progress. Only pure skill lets you advance your rank (or buy a boost). Yi Chen makes me laugh, but Yu Yan also makes me laugh with how cringey his game play is. An ADC sacrificing their life for a healer worth the same value? Aiyaaaaaaaa. Enjoy the mountain of notes! Back to my recovery corner Q A Q.
