PUBG Online Romance of the Century

Edited by Divetus

Yu Yan was taken aback, and his in-game character that had been running also stopped moving.

[As if I'd believe you, piece of shit.]

[Mouth of a man, liar and charlatan! ]

['Not the person who did it' was an excuse I used in middle school, so overused ba!]

Yu Yan didn't say anything until he heard the roar of the airplane in his headphones. "The stream followers are just kidding, you don't have to take it seriously."

After a while, he added, "Also, it's very normal to watch other anchors… Don't feel pressured."

Yi Chen replied, "As long as you don't listen to them, I won't feel pressured."

"…"

What did he mean by that ah?

Yu Yan gritted his teeth and managed to restrain himself from blurting out the words "I won't listen to them".

As he was deliberating between what to do, the game had already started. He looked at the flight route and didn't hesitate jumping to Military Base. He grabbed a shotgun as soon as he landed and raised it to knock down the person holding the M16 in front of him.

The barrage fervently started talking to Yi Chen.

[What do you mean, 'don't listen to us'?]

[That's right. When you gifted someone else yesterday, who was the one that crazily consoled Xiao Yan in the livestream?]

[I recalled that, despite stream bosses having a vest, they shouldn't be able to turn on their mic to talk ba?]

"Others can't, but I can." Yi Chen turned the conversation back to Yu Yan. "He personally said so."

Yu Yan carefully thought about it, and it seemed that he had really said that.

"… It's fine, you can talk ba."

Meanwhile, the girl next to Yu Yan continued praising him, "Your marksmanship is really accurate!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the young man's lips were pursed, and the base of his ears were red; it was very conspicuous when compared to the white headphones he was wearing.

Her eyes brightened, and she immediately took out her cellphone: He blushed! The method worked! It's just that his reaction was a bit slow ah. I've been praising him for so long that my mouth is dry.

The other side quickly replied: As long as it worked. Next, you should invite him to play games together!

Yu Yan turned around and entered the C-shaped building. It was obvious that there was more than one enemy in the building; most people would choose to hide in a room to ambush and kill enemies who entered.

He unequipped his shoes and softened his footsteps. After he got upstairs, he used the vantage point at the top of the steps and looked out. Most of the rooms had open doors, so he couldn't judge which room was occupied.

Upon seeing this, for fear that he would disturb Yu Yan in the middle of the game, Yi Chen turned off his microphone without a second thought. He picked up the new list of personnel and flipped through it.

Yu Yan waited for nearly ten seconds before he finally heard some very subtle footsteps.

"Little Gege, can we play games together after?" the person him beside him suddenly said. "I don't know how to play the one that you're playing, but I really want to learn."

The girl's voice wasn't actually loud, but it still affected Yu Yan's ability to listen to the footsteps.

“Wait a bit.” As he tossed this sentence out, he moved his in-game character to the second room in front of him.

[Not here, it's quite far away.]

[It's not far away. It's just that others are moving while crouched so the footsteps are lighter.]

[The person beside him is so noisy ah. If I met this kind of person while I was playing a game, I wouldn't have been able to endure for so long!]

Yu Yan rushed into the room with his gun raised. At a glance, he didn’t see anyone; his heart thumped&#k2014;it’s over.

Sure enough, just as he was about to jump out of the window, there was a deadly gunshot behind him. Obviously, the enemy was also very powerful. He was knocked down without any chance of fighting back.

The loss interface popped up, and he laughed, "Misjudged it, they were actually on the opposite side."

Saying that, he took off his headphones, turned his head and softly asked, "What did you say just now?"

"Ah…"

The girl met his gaze and only now discovered his most appealing feature.

She really couldn't endure him gazing at her.

She blurted out, "I just said… Can we add each other on WeChat?"

Yi Chen briefly stopped looking through the documents. When he raised his eyes to the screen, he just happened to see the young man's eyebrows raise with his expression showing that he was at a loss.

His eyebrows furrowed. What was there to hesitate about? A stranger that you met at an Internet cafe asked for your contact information as soon as you opened your mouth, one look and you could tell that they had impure intentions.

Of course he should reject her.

"Is that okay?" The girl saw that Yu Yan wasn't responding, but didn't back down. "I just want to be friends with you, I won't bother you frequently… I'll scan you? Or, you can give me your WeChat ID directly, I'll search and add you!"

Yu Yan hesitated for a moment but then took his cellphone out. "That's fine, you can scan me ba."

[What's going on? Why are you just adding her WeChat? Is this the privilege of being the girl next door? I also want to add your WeChat!! Which Internet cafe are you at? Tell me the name, and I'll fly there right away!!!]

[The anchor is so good-tempered? If it hadn't been for this girl's constant chattering, he definitely wouldn't have misjudged the footsteps.]

[It depends on the girl's appearance. Based on Xiao Yan's attitude… I bet she's fairly good-looking.]

As soon as he added her WeChat, Yu Yan's cellphone intensely vibrated.

The profile picture that he had previously unstickied from the top jumped back to the top of his WeChat.

1 had sent him an image. He opened it up, saw that it was a chat log.

[Yi Ran: Ge, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I'll never use your computer again!

Yi Ran: Ge, why can't I use the card you gave me anymore?

Yi Ran: [transferred 4000 yuan to you]

Yi Ran: Ge, I'll double your gift money to compensate you. Begging you to forgive this stupid Didi ba! This is the last of my savings!

1: [collected 4000.00 yuan]

Yi Ran: !!

Yi Ran: Ge, you forgive me?!!

Yi Ran: Ge?? Ge???]

Yu Yan seemed to be able to feel this Yi Ran's roller coaster of emotions through the screen.

It turned out that 1 really hadn't given the gift.

He blinked and tried to restrain the smile that was threatening to form, but in the end, he couldn't hold it back. He very carefully selected an emoticon and sent it as a reply.

Although he didn't dare to express it, after knowing that 1 didn't send gifts to or watch anyone else's livestream, it was undeniable that he was really… really happy ah.

"Your Moments are so clean; you don't even have a selfie." The girl had quickly went through everything in Yu Yan's WeChat profile. "It's such an outrage that you're so handsome but don't take selfies!"

[Although I find this girl very annoying, her words are very reasonable.]

[Your Weibo should be used for posting selfies, not to ask for leave. I'm troubling you to thoroughly understand this.]

Yu Yan replied, "I don't take selfies."

The girl laughed and evaluated him. "A straight guy."

Yu Yan opened and closed his mouth a few times but didn't refute her words.

He put his cellphone back into his pocket and continued livestreaming.

After playing several rounds of solos, just as he had promised, he began to draw stream followers to play with. He played squads for the entire afternoon until his stomach started to rumble. He had forgotten that he wasn't at home today, so he didn't have his scheduled takeout delivery here.

The girl's two other friends had entered the private room and urged her to leave.

"Then little Gege, I'll go first." Although Yu Yan didn't pay attention to her much throughout the afternoon, the girl's expression still showed her reluctance to leave. "Let's chat some more on WeChat when we have the time."

Yu Yan replied, "Okay, goodbye."

The three girls lingered in the room for a long time before they finally left.

The room became calm again, and Yu Yan felt relieved. As soon as he wanted to chat with his viewers, he saw a white line of text appear on the screen.

[1 has left the stream.]

He was caught by surprise and reflexively checked the time, thinking that it was time for the other party to get off of work.

When he opened the takeout app, another line of text appeared.

[Yanyan's Daddy has entered the stream.]

This ID was so familiar that Yu Yan practically recognized it with a glance.

Before he had any time to react, this account began to incessantly—spam him with gifts.

[Yanyan's Daddy has sent out a Sea of Stars in yanxyan's livestream]

[Yanyan's Daddy has sent out a Sea of Stars in yanxyan's livestream]

…

[… What, are the Sea of Stars on sale today?]

[What's going on? Who is this?]

[Wtf, how many Sea of Stars did the anchor receive today? Are all his fans so loyal and rich??]

[Whose daddy ran into the stream today to throw money around?]

Others didn't know who this was, but Yu Yan knew ah.

He quickly snapped out of it, opened WeChat, and sent 1 a message with countless question marks.

1: Not going to use the other account anymore, I'll keep sending gifts on this account until it becomes a Guardian rank.

Yu Yan: Guardian rank just needs 20,000 yuan. You've almost sent 50,000 yuan!

The other party didn't reply, and gifts continued to be sent. Yu Yan grew frantic and muted the livestream microphone before directly requesting a voice chat with 1.

1 accepted the request very quickly.

The man's voice was light. "Willing to voice chat with me now?"

The cellphone's speaker sound quality wasn't perfect like his earphones, but the poor sound quality gave 1's voice a hoarseness that just murdered Yu Yan. He took a few deep breaths before he managed to control his tone.

"… Don't send anymore gifts. The platform will take half the profits, it's a big loss." Yu Yan said, "You already have the Guardian rank."

Yi Chen didn't stop gifting him. "I'm pushing down my previous account's rank."

Yu Yan didn't understand and asked, "Why did you suddenly switch accounts?"

"Someone else's name is in the profile." Yi Chen's tone was as usual. "It's an eyesore."

Yu Yan: "…"

His heart was beating so fast that the words of telling 1 to stop were stuck in his throat, and he was unable to say anything.

Yi Chen saw that the person on the screen was foolishly holding onto his cellphone. Without the cover of his headphones, the pinkness in the tips of his ears were particularly prominent, making anyone who saw them want to take a bite.

He stared at him for a long time, and his mouth curved up.

That was more like it, this was the expression his face should display.

"… E-enough!" When 1's old account dropped from first place on the star gifts list, Yu Yan hurried to stop him. "Your old account has already been pushed down."

But Yi Chen still wasn't willing to stop smashing gifts yet.

The money he had been using before on his 1 account were funds set up by the website; he hadn't used his own money, so it didn't feel like anything to him.

"You're 70,000 popularity points away from the anchor in first place. I'll spam gifts until you're ahead of him, and then I'll stop."

Yu Yan was stunned for a long time before he realized that 1 was referring to the real-time rankings of the Kills King of the Year award.

The value of popularity points weren't equal to the yuan value of the gift amount. If Yu Yan wanted to surpass laoshu, who was ranked number one at this moment, 1 would have to send at least 100,000 yuan worth of gifts.

"Don't spam gifts anymore," Yu Yan reflexively blurted out. "It's useless even if I do surpass him."

"Why is it useless?"

Yu Yan had revealed this, but 1 didn't seem to pay too much attention to the stuff that happened on the StarTV platform. Yu Yan hesitated a bit before truthfully answering, "It's already been determined who the award will go to."

"…" Yi Chen paused and slowed down his gift sending actions a bit. "Who said that? Which person has been selected?"

"It's the person who's currently number one right now."

Yi Chen glanced at the ID at the top ranking person on the list and asked after a while, "No one has reported this?"

Yu Yan responded, "It's useless to report it. This person… has a big backer."

Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. "How big?"

"The last person who reported him has been cursed out to the point that they don't dare to stream anymore." When Yu Yan finished saying this, he saw that he was still receiving gifts in his stream. He grew anxious. "Why are you still sending gifts?"

"It's fine."

Yi Chen got tired of clicking so he directly adjusted the gift amount and sent out 100,000 yuan at once. With this 100,000 yuan gift and the large audience, who was attracted by the gift giving, completely spamming the barrage, Yu Yan not only successfully jumped to first place for the Kills King of the Year award, but also had 30,000 popularity points over laoshu now.

"You can just sit there in first place… I want to see who dares to use insider schemes to take you down."

Juurensha: Isn't it great having the big boss as your backer, Yanyan?

Boss Yi: His ears are so pink, anyone would want to take a bite out of them.

Me: Pretty sure that's mostly just you, Boss Yi. (How are you both this oblivious and so thirsty)

Divi: Yanyan got the biggest backer, things are gonna start changing in StarTV… Maybe. Did you notice, Boss Yi's first account (1) had everything supplied to him by the company, but his new account Yanyan's daddy is using all of his own money. He just spent like 150,000 yuan on Yanyan (21.2k USD). Woweeeee.
