Because he had been trending so frequently these past two days, he had more or less broken out of his little niche. As a result, even many people who didn’t play League of Legends found Li Fan’s ID somewhat familiar when they saw it.
Who exactly was this guy? Why was he always on the hot searches?
Their gege had to spend money just to buy a spot on the trending list.
They couldn’t help feeling a little jealous. These stinking gamers kept dressing themselves up as “professional players,” but weren’t they really just dead fat otakus?
How could they compare to their handsome, flower-like gege?
Their gege worked so hard, yet his trending spot was snatched away so easily. It wasn’t fair.
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. They clicked in directly, intending to enter the discussion and curse people out.
But the moment they clicked in, Li Fan’s looks hit them with a critical strike.
Soft black hair fell somewhat messily over his forehead. His face was extremely clean, with a natural complexion, but the most captivating part was still those signature peach-blossom eyes.
He wore a simple T-shirt, his head tilted slightly toward the bullet comments, the corners of his mouth carrying a very faint smile.
Just this one screenshot instantly made all their fury vanish.
After all, the moment Li Fan arrived at EDG, everyone in EDG silently ranked their own looks second.
For boys, only when another guy thinks you’re handsome at first glance are you truly handsome.
After all, only those of the same sex understand each other best…
【So handsome. Why would someone this good-looking become a pro player? Wouldn’t debuting as a celebrity be better?】
【Agreed. As a celebrity, he could make a name for himself. Huddling in a livestream room has no future. Are there any entertainment companies interested? Contact him. Feels like another Lu Han.】
【Don’t drag Lu Han into this. Although I do think this streamer is really handsome, he still can’t compare to Lu Han. Toothpick’s fans, stop bringing hate to your idol.】
If one were to ask who the top “little fresh meat” celebrity in the country was at this stage, Lu Han was undoubtedly number one.
Even among the other three of the Four Returned Sons—no, Toothpick was Canadian. Strictly speaking, only three of them had returned to the country; the other one was a foreigner.
And that happened to be Toothpick. His traffic at the moment was second only to Lu Han’s.
Although he had exhausted every effort to climb higher, he was always one tier short.
If Lu Han hadn’t officially announced his relationship at the peak of his career, Toothpick would never have reached number one in this lifetime.
So at this stage, the two fan groups were fighting extremely fiercely.
On Weibo, they were arguing every single day.
When they couldn’t win an argument, they would call people over from their group chats…
Their combat power could be considered formidable, though compared to the truly top-tier fan groups, they were still somewhat lacking.
For example, the fiercest in fan wars had to be the Little Lions. However, ever since Liu Shishi got married, the Little Lions hadn’t been as united as before and rarely took part in fan wars.
The two sides cursed each other more and more viciously, directly cursing their way onto the trending list.
But relying on this wave of fan infighting, Li Fan gained yet another hot search, and it was ranked third.
#UnrealPeerlessBeauty…
Now things had really blown up.
After all, when “peerless beauty” appeared on Weibo, many people’s first reaction was that some entertainment company had bought the hot search to attract everyone’s attention and gain a bit of exposure.
They figured this time was probably the same. But after clicking in, they instantly became interested.
Mainly because… this hot search had actually been fought into existence by the fans of two top celebrities. Just how handsome was this guy?
After looking, they found that a single photo really was that eye-catching.
And it was obvious that he wasn’t wearing makeup; even his hair was messy.
Those two sides really hadn’t exaggerated. That made it even more interesting.
They couldn’t help going to the Huya livestreaming platform and searching for Li Fan’s livestream room.
Before they even clicked in, they saw the preview image.
Whoa!
This trip really hadn’t been in vain. A treasure of a gaming streamer.
They hurriedly hit follow…
In just this short while, his follower count, which had still been a little over twenty thousand yesterday, shot straight up to forty-four thousand.
It had increased by nearly twenty thousand followers.
【Gained 50 learning points. Free attribute: 1】
When Li Fan saw this notification, he immediately stopped what he was doing and hurriedly looked at the number of online viewers in the livestream room: 5,433…
It had broken five thousand online viewers, and his follower count had also reached over forty thousand.
What happened? Why had his popularity risen so quickly? Why were there so many people in the livestream room?
But this was a good thing for him.
The corners of Li Fan’s mouth lifted slightly. Now he could confirm that obtaining free points was definitely related to having more viewers watching.
There was also another condition… different games could also provide them.
Then, if the people in his livestream room saw him play other games, could he farm a few more free points?
Thinking this, Li Fan directly closed QQ Speed.
This made some of the viewers in the livestream room perk up.
【Is the streamer finally returning to the right path? Are you going to play League of Legends?】
【Actually, I’m pretty curious too. When the streamer joined EDG, there was even an official account that specifically mentioned it, saying Clearlove met Li Fan in a ranked game and was so amazed that he invited him into the team. He should be pretty strong, right?】
【Exactly. You keep saying you’re a League pro player. It’s about time you played an exciting game of League of Legends and proved yourself.】
【You’re always saying your League of Legends is stronger than your QQ Speed, so let’s have a pleasant match of League.】
【???】
【???】
【???】
They had originally thought Li Fan was about to play League of Legends. After all, he was a professional player. Even if he was slacking off, he should still have to train, right?
After all, he hadn’t trained for more than a month. And since he had trended yesterday, the coach would definitely chase him down and scold him.
But when they saw the interface Li Fan opened, they were instantly dumbfounded.
It wasn’t League of Legends, but a webpage.
Most outrageous of all, he entered the official website for Shuai Tu Zhi Bin and directly started downloading the PC version.
Good grief!
At least QQ Speed was a Penguin game before. But Shuai Tu Zhi Bin? Are you trying to ascend to heaven? You’ve gone straight to a Pig Farm game.
“Recently, I heard Shuai Tu Zhi Bin is really fun. A Three Kingdoms strategy game, and it’s not grindy. As long as you set up your plans in advance, you can just leave it there to idle. I’m going to try it out now,” Li Fan said softly to the livestream room.
As for the above words, they were naturally lies.
After all, Shuai Tu Zhi Bin had done plenty of advertising later on. It had ads on every major short-video platform, and even on WeChat Moments.
Back then, he had also been curious and clicked in to play it…
Only to discover that the game was nothing like the advertisements claimed. It wasn’t something where you could slowly draw cards and become a big shot.
In truth, if you wanted to become a big shot, you had to both grind and spend money.
But… once you got addicted, it was incredibly intense. Li Fan had once stayed up all night trading blocks with an opponent, fighting for twenty-eight hours straight.
Thinking back on it, those were all memories.
When he transmigrated, he had even still been playing it. It should have been the mobile game he had played the longest.
The 2017 version should still have been before treasures were added, right? He also didn’t know which server region had been opened by now.
From the moment Shuai Tu Zhi Bin launched, it opened one new server a day. When there were more players, it would open two servers.
While he was reminiscing, the client had already finished downloading.
