Chapter 64:


    Because there was ROD’s incident as a precedent, when photos from the clubhouse came out, it basically ignited all the gunpowder barrels of the major forums.


    [E-sports yers really have it good these days. Look at them party. 】


    [Now I understand why they haven’t been able to produce any results for the past years. Before, they could still me FS for tearing down the team. But take a look at them now. Looks like it’s the yers themselves who don’t want to win. 】


    [Other teams aside, Yi Zhan just lost their regr season game today and they still went out to party? Looks like, this team’spletely given up, right? 】


    [Given this situation, it’s not surprising that the whole division was wiped out by Sacred Sword. 】


    [Let’s make an educated quess. Was Sacred Sword strong these past two years because they had Whisper, or was it because of Sacred Sword’s strict management of their yers? 】


    【Whisper went to party at the clubhouse with the rest of them. What more proof do you need? Shouldn’t we tear off thisst bit of semnce? Did you think our division’s strong now just because Whisper came home? 】


    [I used to like these teams very much, but now...as long as your guys are happy. 】


    [I don’t care about NSN but now seeing that Saint and Free are the same. I’ve been blind.]


    [Was I an idiot for believing that e-sport was a temple for monkhood? Yu Sui has had so many female fans since his debut. Did he lie to us when he said that he’s always been single? Angel Sword is well-known for being a family-oriented man. He must have gone after his share of fans. Chen Huo’s been bragging since a long time ago that he’s had no less than ten girlfriends. And Evil? Oh, what can you expect from someone who started out as a live broadcast anchor. You know he knows how to party hard.]


    [With this, these yers’ girlfriend fans should have already faced the truth, right? 】


    [Weren’t you lying to the fans when you said you were training all day? 】


    [How can you go out and party without a second thought when you tell your fans every season that you’re going to do your best next season?】


    The sprayers on the forums seized the chance and blew the entire thing out of proportion. Their statements grew uglier and uglier. The yers’ fans, naturally, wanted to spray back so things became even livelier. Shi Luo would get stuck every time he tried to refresh the forums. The posts raining down abuse emerged in an endless stream. There were too many personal attacks, the forum administrators couldn’t delete them fast enough.


    After Zhou Huo recovered a bit he started to read the posts as well. He hesitated. yers could be impulsive but he couldn’t. There were times when due to carelessness, yers, as public figures, would identally step on sh*t. Sometimes it was better to y it cool rather than giving the rumor fresh life; just likest time when that anchor tried to piggyback off Yu Sui’s poprity. Zhou Huo would never be able to rify the matter head-on and it was toote to hide.


    Zhou Huo was usually the best at dealing with these issues. But it could be said that he was the one who caused this issue today. He knew very well that at the moment he wasn’t thinking straight because of his anxiety and so, he was afraid to make any decisions.


    Zhou Huo looked at Shi Luo and said, embarrassed, “I’ve still got the receipt from that restaurant and it’s got the payment time on it. I can take a photo of it and post it on Weibo to prove that we just ate there and came back immediately after. Afterwards, none of us should post any reply. We shouldn’t make a big fuss about this. Alright?”


    Shi Luo shook his head, “No.”


    Zhou Huo was anxious. Just in time, Yu Sui had just finished his shower and came down.


    Shi Luo was sitting to the side, smoking a cigarette. He raised his eyes and nced at Yu Sui. Seeing that he hadn’t blow-dried his hair again, he threw the towel hanging around his shoulders to Yu Sui.


    Yu Sui caught it and started to towel off his hair. Old Qiao totally didn’t find anything wrong with that and he exined the situation regarding the clubhouse to Yu Sui.


    “These idiots are getting on little Shi Shen’s nerves.” Old Qiao handed Zhou Huo’s cell phone to Yu Sui. He was also hesitant, “He wants to pull in Angel Sword and the others. He wants to fight this wave. You... What do you think?”


    Yu Sui looking over that ridiculing post that had made those explosive allegations. When he heard that, he looked up at Shi Luo and a smile shed in his eyes.


    Ten minutester, Saint and Yi Zhan were pulled into Zhou Huo’s temporary group chat.


    [Saint-Angel Sword]: [...I’ve never gone after any fans. ]


    [Saint-Illusion]: [F*ck those sh*ts, Our captain’s a family-oriented man. So? What’s so wrong about that? ! ]


    [Saint·Manager]: [I have got to say that no one in our team has ever, ever been involved in things like this. Today was purely a coincidence. ]


    [Free- Handsome Chen Huo]: [Is there any use reasoning with sprayers? They even dug out sh*t I said five hundred years ago. ]


    [Saint-Illusion]: [I’m so angry, my lungs are about to explode! I didn’t even have time to go home for my mother’s 40th birthdayst month! Why would I waste my time visiting call girls? ]


    [Yi Zhan-Manager]: [We just lost a regr season game. But you win some and you lose some. Our results aren’t good, we must admit. But are our yers not supposed to eat anymore just because we have bad results?]


    [Coach Qiao]: [It’s okay, it’s okay. We understand. ]


    [Yi Zhan-Manager]: [When that post came out, all our yers just kept quiet. If you lose a game, it’s just right that you be sprayed. But being sprayed because of this trivial matter is just too f*cking much. ]


    [Manager·Zhou]: [Picture]


    [Manager·Zhou]: [I’m nning to post a picture of the receipt from our meal just now. That will show everyone the time when we paid. We won’t say anything else after that. Angel Sword, do you still have your receipt? ]


    [Saint-Angel Sword]: [We do.]


    [Saint·Manager]: [It’s with me. I’ll take a picture of it right away! ]


    [Saint·Manager]: [Okay, okay, you post first. I’ll post afterwards. Yi Zhan can just forward our post. Fortunately, I still have the receipt. Perfect ]


    [Yi Zhan-Manager]: [Perfect. ]


    [Manager·Zhou]: [Perfect. ]


    [Free-Evil]: [I disagree. ]


    [Manager·Zhou]:......


    [Yizhan-Manager]: [Evil? ]


    [Saint·Manager]: [No, you...what do you want to do? ]


    [Free-Evil]: [I don’t need the official Weibo ount. I can post it myself. I don’t need the staff to give me script either. I’ll say whatever I want to say. ]


    [Yi Zhan-Manager]: [Uh...There’s no need toe out so strong, right? ]


    [Saint·Manager]: [It really is a bit too strong. ]


    [Manager·Zhou]: [Shi Luo, really, listen to me. There’s no need for that. ]


    [Yi Zhan-Manager]: [Yes, yes, no need. Even though, we’re so angry we could kill right now, there’s really no need to cause more trouble for you yers. Today we were just unlucky. We can just send out a rification and it’ll be fine. ]


    [Saint·Manager]: [Yes, let us take care of this. You should train and just leave it alone. ]


    [Manager·Zhou]: [Once us managerse out and rify what happened, those who can think straight will naturally understand and of course, they’ll stop spraying. ]


    [Free-Evil]: [They’ll stop spraying so we’ll just let it go? We’ll just forget about it?]


    [Free-Evil]: [Why is it that every time, as long as they stop spraying, then everything’s fine?]


    [Free-Evil]: [Those who insulted us before, why should we just let them off? For what reason? ]


    [Saint-Illusion]: [For what reason? ]


    [Saint·Manager]: [? ? ? ]


    [Saint·Manager]: [Illusion, why are trying to get in on the excitement! ! ! ]


    [Saint-Illusion]: [When those people sprayed mest time, they even f*cked my mom over. It’s fine as long as they stop spraying? Will anyone apologize to my mother? ! ]


    [Manager·Zhou]: [......]


    [Saint·Manager]: [......]


    [Saint-Angel Sword]: [I also disagree. ]


    [Saint·Manager]: [? ]


    [Saint·Manager]: [No, Angel Sword? What’s the matter with you? ]


    [Free-Handsome Chen Huo]: [I’m going to listen to Shi Luo this time. ]


    [Free-Puppy]: [I’m also going to listen to Shi Luo this time. ]


    [Free- Handsome Chen Huo]: [Laozi has passed through all sorts of winds and waves. Before, I wasn’t willing to invite any trouble because of Yu Sui’s matters. But now, what do I have to be afraid of? ]


    [Free-Puppy]: [+1, we don’t cause troubles but that doesn’t mean us Laozi’s are afraid of getting into trouble. ]


    [Manager·Zhou]: [......]


    [Manager·Zhou]: [Whisper, say something! ! ! ]


    [Free-Whisper]: [? ]


    [Free-Whisper]: [I always listen to Shi Luo. ]


    [Manager·Zhou]: [You...]


    [Yizhan·Manager]: [Yu Sui, you guys, please stop this. ]


    [Saint·Manager]: [What’s gotten into all of you today? Don’t mess with us! ! ! Zhou Huo, control your yers! Don’t take our yers with you into this craziness! ]


    [Manager·Zhou]: [If I could control them, there wouldn’t be this group chat...]


    [Free-Evil]: [I almost got affected by the rhythm these sprayers made in the forums this morning. I have no intention of getting carried away by these sprayers. ]


    [Free-Evil]: [I should never have been affected by these people. I can bear with it so I will. If I can’t bear with it then I’m trash. There is nothing to hide and there is nothing to fear. ]


    At the Free base, only Yu Sui and Shi Luo were at the first floor. Yu Sui smiled at what Shi Luo said in the group chat, “So you’ve finally straightened out your thoughts? Starting to prepare for when we go public in the future?”


    Shi Luo was still typing, after sending thest one, he grabbed a fistful of his now dry hair and whispered, “More than that.”


    Shi Luo nced at Yu Sui, then paused and said softly, “These past few days, I felt like I had to be cautious in my words and actions otherwise I might drag you down by ident and just when you’ve finally cleared your name. I couldn’t let people cken you again because of me.”


    Yu Sui’s heart was warmed when he heard this. He looked at Shi Luo, eyes all gentle, “What about now?”


    “Now I’ve figured it out.” Shi Luo locked his phone, “I shouldn’t underestimate myself, let alone you.”


    “As long as Ipete seriously, I’ll have a clear conscience. What’s there to be scared of? If they spray me then I’ll just spray back.”


    “yers can’t date? They can’t go out to eat? Who decided that?”


    “ROD handled it cautiously. He only asked the team manager to exin for him. He handled it gently enough but did the sprayers spare him?”


    “I shouldn’t have forgotten who I am just because I’m now in a rtionship.” Shi Luo looked at Yu Sui, and said with a cold look on his face, “Spraying your teammates costs 10,000 yuan so I’m going to make every yuan count. I’m this kind of person. .”


    “I don’t eptpromises and I refuse to be bullied.”


    Yu Sui looked at Shi Luo squatting on the sofa, and for a moment it seemed like he saw Shi Luo as he was when he was still a wild anchor.


    Always with a cold face, looking as though he were telling everyone that he wasn’t to be pushed around.


    Covered with thorns, he was always guard against everyone. But once you get close, you’ll discover how many cute little moves this kid has in private.


    It was this kind of Shi Luo that has, for a long time now, made Yu Sui so fascinated that he simply couldn’t look away.


    Seeing that Yu Sui didn’t speak, Shi Luo hesitated, “You...”


    “Of course I feel the same way you do.” Yu Sui sneered, “Otherwise, they would have called us a team of evil people for nothing.”


    Five minutester, Shi Luo was the first to post on his Weibo.


    @Free-Evil: [I haven’t gone whoring nor have I slept with anyone. And in the future, if I do sleep with anyone, it’s none of anyone’s business. Anyone still wants to spray thene here in person and say it to my face. Why don’t we see who sprays better? Anyone who doesn’t dare spray in person, then you can shove it up yours! I won’t indulge your bad habits.]


    Zhou Huo saw that he couldn’t dissuade them so he simply rushed to post an official statement on their blog and attached the receipts of their meal at the clubhouse as proof.


    As soon as the evidence came out, the momentum instantly fell.


    There would always be a lot of normal yers who’d be carried away by the sprayers’ rhythm. Once they saw that this might have been a real misunderstanding, they calmed down and secretly deleted their replies on the forums. Comments that could be deleted, they deleted; forments that couldn’t be deleted, the posters made vague, wishy-washy apologies.


    The receipts were convincing enough as evidence, not to mention that the party at the clubhouse was not yet over. The Inte celebrity who posted the photos of Yu Sui, Shi Luo and the others on Weibo was still posting selfies. In the end she had just bumped into them on her way to a party for inte celebrities. It was clear once you think about it.


    The sprayers’s ims were now exposed to be groundless. They no longer seized on the matter of the yers going to the clubhouse, instead they turned their muzzles on Shi Luo.


    [What’s with your tone? Is that something a public figure should be saying? 】


    [Awesome, it’s not enough that you spray in your live broadcasts. Now, you’re even spraying here. 】


    [You’ve got some temper for someone who hasn’t got any results to show. 】


    [I don’t know what makes you think you can say things like that when you’ve never even yed in a World Championship. 】


    But before the sprayers could organize their firepower against Shi Luo, Angel Sword, who had participated in the World Championships, immediately posted.


    ＠Saint-Angel Sword: [I didn’t sleep with, pursue or flirt with any fans. I also don’t want to indulge these bad habits. I testify for all the members of the three teams. No one has done anything to discredit the professional ethics of the e-sports industry. Having a good temper is for when dealing with normal people, not for sprayers.]


    Illusion also posted on Weibo: [So, now, is anyone ready to apologize for thest time you made those false usations against me? Sprayers? ]


    With their posts on Weibo, let alone other people, even their own fans were stunned.


    Usually when there was some sort of rhythm online, they’d count themselves lucky if it died down quickly. If they had evidence to rify the matter, then their base was exuding green smoke. What was with the situation now? After calming down and exining clearly, were the yers still allowed to spray back? !


    Can they be that cool? Aren’t they all afraid of beingbeled as having a bad attitude?


    Of course, after the rest of Free’s yers posted on their Weibo, no one cared about the bad attitude of the previous yers, because the ones with the worst attitudes always appear at the end.


    ＠Free-Puppy: So, it turns out that yers who’ve yed in the World Championship can have a bad attitude? Okay, then all those who sprayed me in the past are all SBs.


    @Free-Chen Huo: What does the yer who’s yed in the World Championship and won the World Championship trophy say? Sprayers? How does a ‘f*ck you’ over the air sound like?


    ＠Free-Whisper: Do you all have an addiction to having your faces pped?


    Zhou Huo was originally so scared he couldn’t do anything. After all, this was was his first time managing this kind of team where none of the yers were afraid of courting death. Now that what’s done was done, they’ve all posted on their Weibo pages, Zhou Huo simply followed along and directly targeted the team who used this incident to fish in troubled waters and made a vain attempt to mess with the mentality of the yers of another region — Sacred Sword.


    @Free E-sports Club: @Sacred Sword, just how scared of our teams is your team, that you have to go against the time difference everyday just to concern yourselves with what our yers eat and drink?


    As soon as Zhou Huo posted on Weibo, Saint and Yi Zhan immediately re-posted it. NSN waste to the party but re-posted it as well. In less than half an hour, Sacred Sword quickly deleted their previous tweet mocking the Chinese yers for going to the clubhouse.
