Yu Mo wasn't angry either, after some thought, he picked the friendliest expression from his collection and sent it out.
"Golden Lotus Thirteen Beauties Yu Mo": Are you in a good mood today.gif
Everyone: "..."
Pan Da: "Leader, this expression doesn't look very smart."
Xiao Xingheng: "To be honest, it's the friendliest one among all of Silence's expressions."
Ah Lu: "Eye-catching, I'd rather be taunted by the leader with a panda head."
Lao Mai: "I wonder if the other side thinks Yu Mo is an old lady surfing the web in the last century =="
Lin Meng stared at the retro rainbow font with a strong sense of ridicule, feeling anything but good. Instead, she felt downright mocked. Her lips twitched slightly, and she shakily exited the game.
After the game, Guo Bo felt physically drained. He vowed never to play the battleground mode again, and then he opened Lin Meng's live stream.
"Oh my god!"
"What's your name?" Lin Meng was still studying the post-game data.
"My goodness, Meng brother! Do you know who we encountered just now?" Guo Bo shook Lin Meng's arm vigorously.
"?"
"The Eternal team's Mo Shen and Pan Da!" Guo Bo exclaimed, "Oh my god, we actually encountered the champion team! No wonder it was so tough! And we actually... actually won!"
Lin Meng blinked her eyelashes.
"Why aren't you surprised at all?" Guo Bo asked in confusion.
"I am surprised," Lin Meng said softly. She shook the mouse and closed the game interface. "Mo Shen's final play was like drinking fake alcohol."
Guo Bo was startled and quickly checked her microphone, only to find it was muted, and he let out a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, the fans were still arguing about the previous scene.
[DISS Mo Shen, don't you want to live?]
"Does someone who plays on behalf of others think they're invincible?"
"When Silence is playing, you don't even know where you are! Who are you showing off to?"
"Why are the fanatics getting all hyped up? It's obvious both sides are just joking."
"If your master isn't worried, why are you getting all worked up?"
"Clearly LEMON doesn't know that Silence is on the other side."
"I reasonably suspect that I, Meng, have only been hurt by girls with 'MO' in their names."
"Why is it a girl? It could also be a boy, quack."
"I'm kind of at a loss about how to support this fighting couple. Meng Meng is too spoiled."
"You're not alone! I could clearly sense indulgence in Silence's tone."
Lin Meng was not a fragile person, she didn't pay too much attention to comments, and continued to duo with Guo Bo. It seemed that the previous game was a turning point, after which they never encountered Yu Mo again.
On the other side, Zhong Xiang angrily held a razor to his own neck and exclaimed, "Silence, if you keep pretending, I'll die for you to see!"
"Relax," Yu Mo shrugged it off. "There are still people who have donated to me, thanks to this user 'Silence in My Bed'—hey, can't you use a more restrained username, pal?"
"You really dare continue playing dumb even when threatened," Zhong Xiang sighed. "But please also consider the moderators, they can't keep up with all the banned accounts."
Yu Mo paused the livestream, opened the match record, and sent a friend request to LEMON, only to get rejected soon after.
Zhong Xiang was puzzled. "What are you doing?"
"I wanted to ask if he's interested in turning professional," Yu Mo turned his chair around, smiling.
"I am the team manager, you didn't even ask for my opinion?" Zhong Xiang was furious. "And you still dared to add him!"
"I'm asking now," Yu Mo laughed.
Unable to find a retort, Zhong Xiang was exasperated. "You didn't even add him as a friend."
Yu Mo lowered his gaze, and suddenly self-mocked, "You're right."
At this time, the barrage of fans' comments rang out:
"Honey, please stop pretending, my heart can't take it anymore."
"My roommate said she wants to see Yu Mo win a match before she dies, QQ."
"The coffin is so hard. It's painful doing sit-ups!"
Yu Mo turned back to the table. "Alright, focus on the game."
Compared to the meticulous and invisible acting, playing seriously was more relaxing. He hardly had to think, relying on muscle memory to win consecutively and reach the top.
On the inside of the clear and powerful wrist of his slender hand was a subtle tattoo of a M in elegant cursive.
At this moment, his phone rang. Captain Wildwind of the Yogurt team sent a message: "Free to grab a drink tonight?"
Yu Mo: "I'll be home tonight, maybe another day."
Wildwind: "I didn't expect you to be quite the homebody. Did you receive the invitation for the Rainbow Cup?"
Yu Mo: "I did, but I'm not going."
Wildwind: "Then I can rest assured."
Yu Mo: "What's that supposed to mean? Are you afraid of being rumored with me?"
Wildwind: "I want to make the headlines in the esports evening news for once. Is that not allowed?"
Yu Mo: "What does that have to do with me?"
Wildwind: "Do you not have a clue? Tangerine gave you both an exclusive interview. You and her have been on the headlines for nearly two days, and winning a championship together isn't enough? I think people like you should join the entertainment industry, what's the point of playing esports!"
The SN team was a plastic brother team of the E team, always being the perennial runner-up with the E team. Wildwind took this opportunity to personally attack Yu Mo.
Yu Mo raised an eyebrow and didn't argue with him: "Did you watch the livestream just now?"
Wildwind: "So you're being bullied and still want to promote yourself? Are you an actor?"
Yu Mo: "What about the sniper on the other side?"
Wildwind: "You mean that Lemon? His scolding face is quite cool, I like it."
Yu Mo: "Are you gay?"
Wildwind: "??"
Yu Mo: "No liking allowed."
Wildwind: "???"
Yu Mo: "It's nothing, just wanted to let you know not to pay attention to him. Our team has already arranged everything."
Wildwind: "You're crazy! Don't you know our team needs a sniper?"
Yu Mo: "I do, that's why I'm giving you a heads up"
Wildwind: "Oh :), well, I'll tell you this then. He just chatted with our manager and said he won't turn professional. Surprised?"
Yu Mo: "Did you add him as a friend?"
Ye Feng: "Of course, how else can we chat without adding friends?"
Yu Mo: "How did you add him?"
Ye Feng: "Just search for his name and add him, right?"
Yu Mo suddenly didn't want to chat with him, so he threw his phone onto the table.
"That's rejecting your team." He poured a glass of water and finished it in one gulp, muttering softly.
After finishing the last game, Lin Meng felt quite satisfied. She leaned back in her esports chair and rubbed her half-full stomach.
"Hungry? Want to eat something?" Guo Bo was still excited. "I'll go buy something for you."
"Forget it, my aunt asked me to come back for dinner," Lin Meng said.
"Why did she suddenly ask you to come back for dinner today? She didn't use to do that before, right?" Guo Bo asked. "Who knows, it can't be anything good," Lin Meng said, getting up. The two left the internet cafe together, and after a while, Guo Bo couldn't hold back and asked, "Meng ge, why don't you play professionally?"
"Why should I play professionally?" Lin Meng asked.
"You can earn more money and be treated like a star. Isn't that enough?" Guo Bo asked. "It's a waste of your skills not to play professionally. Also, the major your aunt picked for you in college is useless. You don't even study. You have to plan for your future. Do you want to be a substitute player for your whole life?"
The traffic light turned red, and Lin Meng stopped at the side of the road.
"How do you know I haven't played professionally?"
When Lin Meng arrived home, Lin Siting and her aunt, Fang Songyu, had already started eating. Lin Meng changed her shoes at the entrance, and Fang Songyu complained, "I called you to come for dinner, and you come back so late. Serve yourself from the rice cooker."
Lin Meng "Oh" and went to the kitchen, opened the rice cooker, and found only a layer of scorched rice stuck to the bottom. She used a wooden spatula to scrape it twice and abandoned it. At that moment, Fang Songyu said, "Tiantian will attend a party in the evening. You accompany her."
Sure enough, there is no smoke without fire. Lin Meng wanted to take a nap. "Aunt, I have something to do tonight."
"If you have something, then put it off," Fang Songyu paid no attention. "I'm not at ease with Tiantian going out alone at night."
Lin Meng: "..."
She returned to the dining table with an empty bowl. Fang Songyu had just finished eating, and only Lin Siting was left at the table, leisurely drinking her soup while playing with her phone. Lin Meng looked at the table full of leftovers and rolled her eyes. Although Lin Siting and Lin Meng have the same surname, they don't look alike. Lin Siting lives up to her name, sweet in both appearance and speech. She is a small internet celebrity who often wears LO dresses and live streams various things on XianYu platform. She has captured a group of otakus and become a small internet celebrity.
Last night, riding on the popularity of E team winning the BPL World Championship, Lin Siting sang and danced, finally attracting the attention of the Rainbow Cup organizers and brought her live stream to the top three in the midnight time slot. "Yes, it's a celebrity performance!" Lin Siting sent a voice message to someone, unable to conceal her excitement. "I will be a celebrity and have to play BOD. There are not many girls who play BOD, so they invited me."
"Not only me, but also the male actor who has been particularly popular recently—"
"What BOD Hua Mulan? Hahaha, don't joke."
"They have invited Mo Shen, oh, I can help you get his autograph!"
Lin Meng vaguely heard something like "Goddess, I love you." She took an orange from the fruit basket and slowly peeled it. "How many games did you win last night?" Lin Siting's voice message was halfway through but had to be canceled. She thought about her dismal winning rate last night, and her face turned slightly pale. "What's it to you? What do you know about BOD? Have you played it?" Lin Meng glanced at her. "I only know that if you play poorly, you will be criticized by the audience."
"It's a celebrity performance. It's all about showcasing celebrities. Who cares how well you play? Also, who said I play poorly? I'm better than you even if I play poorly," Lin Siting said.
Lin Meng shook her head, put the orange in her mouth, got up and went back to her room. Lin Siting suddenly stopped her, "Do you want to go to the Rainbow Cup?"
"A lot of people want to go, but unfortunately, the tickets are limited," Lin Siting said, "You can accompany me tonight. Help me carry things, and I can consider getting you a ticket."
Lin Meng rolled her eyes. "Is Mo Shen going too?"
"Yeah," Lin Siting said triumphantly, "Maybe he will play with me in the competition. I can be Mo Shen's assistant."
"Oh," Lin Meng said. "Then I don't want to go."
Lin Meng: Insult Mo every day in my heart 100 times. :)
