GTRSH Chapter 33

Yu Xinche then slowly realized what he had said was wrong.

Normally, he should say he’s the support of the team TZ.

A little awkward, but not too much.

He touched his ears, tried his best to ignore the cheering from the audience, and continued to look at the camera calmly.

After the two greeted the audience, the host started asking questions. They were all standard questions, and Yu Xinche answered them all confidently.

After the questions were asked, there was a posing session, and the MVP players of each game must participate.

“Okay, thank you both for your answers. Now let’s start our [Photo Moment]. BREEZE used the two heroes [Wind] and [Fog] today. Their game expressions have appeared on the big screen. BREEZE will pick one to imitate!”

HIT had many system expressions, and each hero had at least 3 expressions.

Yu Xinche picked out the least exaggerated [Fog Blowing Away] dynamic expression on the screen: Fog puffed up her mouth in frustration, turned her head and blew away the circle of fog surrounding her.

Yu Xinche built up his emotions in front of the camera for a while, then his eyelids drooped, revealing a helpless expression, and he blew a long breath towards the camera.

【hahahahahahahahaha】

【Cute baby】

【He didn’t shake his head, so I’m giving a bad review (not really)】

【Cute, love it】

The big screen at the scene was also broadcasting this scene in real time. He Ci looked back and watched it, then turned back with a smile on his face that had not yet faded.

After the imitation show, there was the last part of the day: a fan handshake meeting.

Five people would be randomly selected from the audience to have a brief conversation with the contestants, cheer them on, shake their hands, take photos with them, and finally take away the peripheral gifts in the contestants’ hands.

Each gift was exactly the same, and was the peripherals prepared by the club. However, the gifts of popular players were often more likely to be chosen.

Likewise, they were more likely to receive encouragement and praise from fans during the audience speech session.

As a newcomer, Yu Xinche had relatively few fans, and even fewer people were willing to go to the game in person to watch him.

None of the five audience members who came up today were his fans. When they were speaking, only one girl mentioned him while cheering for He Ci.

The last audience picked to come on stage could only get Yu Xinche’s gift. Out of politeness, Yu Xinche smiled when he handed it to him, but he didn’t even say thank you.

He Ci glanced at the audience, said nothing, and quickly looked away.

“Okay, today’s game ends here. Thank you for your attention. Please look forward to our schedule tomorrow.”

The host and team members bowed and then left work.

They didn’t eat before the game, at most they ate some biscuits and bread to replenish their energy. It was almost nine o’clock after the game, and everyone was very hungry, so they went to a hot pot restaurant near the venue.

It was still unbearably hot in Jiangcheng in September, but the hotpot was served quickly and this restaurant had private rooms with good privacy, so TZ often came here after playing games.

While waiting for the food to be served, the boss lady came over and took a group photo of the five of them and posted it on the official account.

Since they won the game today, fans were naturally as happy as if it were Chinese New Year. Some were making memes, some were giving encouragement, and the comment section was filled with peace.

Yu Xinche also posted a photo for business as requested.

The picture was taken from a selfie angle. In the front of the picture were him and He Ci, and behind them the others were sitting on the other side of the table.

This account was registered and verified just two days ago, and not many people were paying attention to it.

But several teammates participated in the comments using their own accounts, and with the help of the trending search #TZ.Breeze#, his number of fans increased rapidly, with dozens more every time he refreshed his account.

The little red dot for the private messages kept jumping.

The team members were all playing with their phones and the food hadn’t been served yet, so Yu Xinche clicked on them one by one and looked at some of them.

– Look at me, look at me!

– Keep going, Xiaoche. My friends and I are very optimistic about you. You will definitely get better and better!

– Handsome guy, please recognise me

– I’m following you today, and if you become successful in the future, I’ll be your old fan hehe!

– You played really well today. Come on, come on, come on

– Baby, let me show you the picture I edited today

Yu Xinche clicked on it and saw a GIF of him blowing fog during the imitation show.

The picture had been processed, and he had been given the white bangs and iconic elf ears of Fog, and white mist had been added around him, which dissipates as he blows.

The picture was photoshopped very carefully. If the protagonist was not himself, he would definitely keep it.

After that, he looked at a few more and was moved by the encouragement from fans, when a swear word suddenly jumped into his sight.

[How dare you play professionally? You play like trash]

[You look like a ****, and you are still a **. Retire early and go back to raise pigs ba.]

He frowned. Although he was prepared to be scolded, he felt a little uncomfortable because the man spoke too foul.

At this time, He Ci touched him with his arm.

Yu Xinche looked up from his phone, and He Ci handed him his phone screen.

This was also a photoshopped picture of him blowing air, but the style was different. In this picture, the entire background except for him was photoshopped into sea-blue waves with two seaweeds floating underneath.

As he started to blow, some transparent bubbles gradually appeared on the screen. After he finished blowing, the bubbles burst one by one, revealing four large characters:

“Yu blow Bubbles”.

The word “Yu” was followed by a small fish emoji.

Yu Xinche: “…”

The fans were so talented, and the pictures were so cute. But again, it’s a pity that he was the protagonist.

He only felt ashamed when he saw himself acting cute.

Obviously He Ci knew he would think so, so he shared it directly with the person involved.

Yu Xinche pretended to be uninterested: “What’s wrong?”

He Ci pretended to discuss it seriously: “Don’t you think it’s cute?”

Yu Xinche thought so too, but he won’t admit that he was cute: “It’s just average, mainly because it’s well photoshopped.”

“Oh——” He Ci expressed regret, then turned around and said, “Then I’ll show it to Xiao Ou, maybe he’ll think it’s cute.”

Yu Xinche: “?”

“Don’t.” Seeing that He Ci was really about to call Xiao Ou to look, Yu Xinche reached out and pulled him back.

He Ci: “What’s wrong?”

Yu Xinche knew what he wanted to hear and responded: “I think it’s cute too.”

“What’s cute?” He Ci asked.

“The picture is cute.”

“Yeah.” He Ci turned around and was about to call Xiao Ou again.

“You…” Yu Xinche was resigned. He admitted defeat, “I’m cute. Is that okay?”

He Ci didn’t say anything, just laughed.

Then he clicked on the picture on the phone, the picture shrank, and a chat box appeared.

This picture was actually shared by Xiaoou in the TZ group chat!

Yu Xinche:.

All this work was in vain.

“Just because I stole the last kill, you’re playing tricks on me.” Yu Xinche whispered, “You have such a strong desire for revenge.”

He Ci didn’t care: “If you can win, just steal whatever you want.”

“You just frowned. Did you get scolded?”

“Yeah.” Yu Xinche admitted, and then said, “You guessed so accurately.”

At this time, the drinks came, and He Ci poured a small cup for everyone: “We all got here this way, it’s not hard to guess.”

“Thank you.” Yu Xinche took it and took a sip. It was pumpkin juice, with a sticky texture but not too sticky. It tasted good.

It looked good too, it’s a warm orange, a very bright and lively color.

“Everyone knows that trolls don’t need a reason to insult others, but after reading those comments, when you go to play the game again, you may subconsciously think of those words and become restrained.”

“If you are easily influenced, then just don’t read it. But there are always people who are so stubborn that they search for their own posts on the forums, read them, get upset, and then continue to read next time.”

“Yeah.” This was just like staying up late even though you know it’s bad for you, but you still stayed up late. Yu Xinche could understand that.

“But you’re a smart player. You understand what I’m saying without me saying anything, right?”

He Ci lowered his head slightly. His eyes were light in color and his eyelids drooped slightly when he looked at him. Being stared at like this, Yu Xinche actually felt that He Ci was very gentle for a moment.

So he looked away.

“Okay, I understand. I will read less.”

The dishes came soon. Xu Le, who was sitting at the next table while they were eating, came over and talked to them for a while.

When Xu Le praised Yu Xinche for his good fight, he finally realized what was going on with He Ci’s gentleness just now.

He Ci’s tone was exactly the same as when Xu Le usually came to discuss things with him, the kind of tone a teacher used to coax a child.

It turned out to be an illusion that I thought he was gentle just now. It was just a trick he used when trying to persuade people.

For some reason, Yu Xinche breathed a sigh of relief.

Two days later, they set off for North City to play the second game.

HPL teams were distributed in different cities, and the officials would also allocate the competition venues when arranging the pre-season rounds.

The allocation principle was to ensure that each team had at least half of its games played in its home city.

The North City team was of average strength and was at the middle level in the league.

For Yu Xinche, this was a good opportunity to practice.

This time, the coach did not let him stay until the end to choose a hero. Instead, he followed the tactics prepared in advance and grabbed Aurora and Tide for the bottom lane team first.

Yu Xinche’s Tide was banned every time during training, but it might be because his strength had not been recognized by the serious teams in the league, as the two opponents he encountered recently did not ban support heroes.

Commentator A: “In this game, we saw BREEZE picked Tide, and he and Aurora were able to play well together, a very comfortable lineup.”

Commentator B: “Actually, BREEZE’s Tide is strong, but it has never been banned. Maybe the opponent still thinks that TZ’s other positions are more threatening, so they want to limit them.”

Commentator A: “Yes, we will wait and see how the bottom lane performs in this game.”

He Ci and Yu Xinche had already practiced with this lineup in the training match. Their operations were also on point after they came online. In less than two minutes, they cooperated to trick the flash skill out of the opposing bottom lane group.

When he saw his jungler approaching, He Ci ordered Yu Xinche to retreat a few steps.

“Let’s act it out. The line is too deep and they don’t dare to come out.”

Yu Xinche didn’t talk as much as he did in the previous ranked games. Most of the time he was just listening to He Ci. He would only speak to report some information when his opponent had lost a big skill or the CD was about to expire.

He was very self-aware and knew that his current experience was far less than that of the enemy. For him, the best way to play at the moment was to be an obedient support who did not hinder the team.

If he could execute the orders given by his teammates, he would be considered a good player.

This was what He Ci required of Yu Xinche at this stage. Just listen to him and cooperate with him. The rest could be taught slowly.

The first game was won smoothly.

In the second game, Yu Xinche took [Swamp].

This was also TZ’s plan. In the first game, he would use the hero he was good at to win the game. In the second game, he would choose a hero he was not so proficient in to practice.

Yu Xinche had also practiced the swamp a lot recently, and the effect after selecting him had met the expectations of the coaching staff. Although he died several times, he was able to control the team and protect his teammates.

The bottom lane developed normally, and relying on the rhythm of the mid and top teammates, they won the team battle and ended the game directly.

The MVP after the game was given to the mid laner CONTROL. His support in both games was very timely and he also had decent output.

Today was an away game, so TZ would have fewer fans.

By the time of the fan handshake session, a small number of people had already left the audience.

The contestants were not surprised by this and cooperated normally to complete the interaction.

None of the five audience members came to cheer for Yu Xinche this time.

Upon seeing this, the other four people looked at each other, and when the host was about to make his closing remarks, BURN, who was closest to him, raised his hand to signal the host to wait a moment.

The host was stunned for a moment and asked, “Well, is there anything else you want to say?”

He Ci picked up the microphone and referred to the sentence pattern of the fans just now:

“Hi everyone, I’m a fan of BREEZE, he played great today.”
