“Ahhh, my titanium alloy dog eyes are blinded. I didn’t see it wrongly, right? Immediately assigned to Platinum I?”
(TL note: Those that play ranked matches in LoL will know that there are tiers and every tier has ranks I, II, III, IV. So players will advance from Bronze IV > Bronze III > Bronze II and etc.)

“Damn it, why is there such a huge gap when we are both humans? I also completed 10 consecutive victories, but why am I only Platinum III?”

“I won 9 and lost 1, but I got assigned to Bronze II.”

“I won 8 and lost 2, and got assigned to Bronze IV.”

“Pfff, those two above, how low must your hidden points be in the previous season?!”

“Don’t be surprised. A Bronze V player will not be able to get rid of the Bronze tier assignment even with 10 consecutive victories. Don’t ask me why I know, I will not tell you. Experience it yourself!”

…

Xiao Ran didn’t pay attention to the chaos in the streaming room because he was also flabbergasted.

Originally, Xiao Ran felt that the best scenario would be getting assigned to Gold I. He never expected that he would be immediately assigned to Platinum I.

This surprise was massive!

It had virtually made the path towards the Challenger tier much simpler!

“Host quickly start a match and rush for Diamond tier!”

“I have never seen anyone being assigned to Platinum I after playing provisional matches. This is just too 6666!!!”

“This incident will probably make the news.”

“Not just the news, it is simply the LoL’s legend!!!”

“I kneel for Kun Shen!”

“Kun Shen, I will definitely watch your streams in the future. I will accompany on the road to Challenger!!”

“To the one on top, I will accompany the host to the no.1 rank in the country!!!”

…

Just as Xiao Ran was trying to start a new match after getting fired up by the streaming room’s atmosphere, suddenly, a friend request popped out at the bottom right corner of the in-game screen.

“Angelababy0 is requesting to add you as a friend, do you accept?”

WTF!!!

Xiao Ran was instantly stirred up. Baby, Baby is actually adding me as a friend??!!
(TL note: this Baby is the Chinese celebrity Angelababy)

It wasn’t only Xiao Ran, the entire streaming room had instantly exploded.

“My god, Baby added host as a friend!”

“Baby actually added Kun Shen as a friend?”

“Host, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and accept!! Hurry up and ACCEPT!!!”

“Wtf, host 6666, I want to see you and Baby play Duo Queue!!”

“Host quickly accept. Tell Baby that I love you and is willing to die due to excessive sperm loss!”

“Can the one on top be less vulgar? Get lost! Baby is my dream lover!”

“Dream lover? Isn’t that too cliché? Baby is my dream battle partner!!!”

…

Xiao Ran couldn’t be bothered with what the viewers were flooding in the chatbox and immediately clicked in the “Accept” option.

Baby… She is a celebrity, an extremely beautiful celebrity!

What do celebrities mean?

Popularity!

Massive popularity!!!

If I am to Duo Queue with Baby, wouldn’t the number of viewers in this streaming room immediately burst through one million???

If my plays are even more exaggerated, wouldn’t the worship points drown me like a flash flood?

Heh Heh, just the thought of it is extremely satisfying!

At this moment, Baby suddenly private messages Xiao Ran, “Hello, can you invite and Duo Queue with me?”

In Xiao Ran’s previous life, it wasn’t a secret that Baby liked playing LoL a lot and she liked to play Jinx.

Xiao Ran didn’t expect that this life’s Baby similarly liked to play LoL.

She might like to play, but her skills…

I shall not evaluate, I shall not evaluate!

In any case, she seems to be at the Gold tier.

Earlier on, Baby had been in Duo Queue with Misaya and he had carried her from Gold IV to Gold III’s advancement matches. But after winning one of the advancement matches, Misaya suddenly left for some business.
(TL note: Misaya was a player for Team WE in the Chinese LPL)

Baby felt that it wasn’t safe to look for others and was feeling bored. Thus, she used her sub-account to roam the LoL streaming rooms. She happened to come across the game where Xiao Ran was torturing We1less and TBQ.

After watching the entire stream, Baby couldn’t stay calm and immediately added Xiao Ran as a friend. She wanted Xiao Ran to carry her and win the advancement matches.
(TL note: Carry is a term where stronger players help the weaker players to win)

Xiao Ran never would have expected that he would actually attract a superstar like Baby. Xiao Ran immediately accepted the request, “Alright, you can invite me.”

Baby was stunned.

Be it Misaya or anyone else, they would be the ones to invite her and they would be begging to carry her. She didn’t expect for this Kun Shen to ask her to invite him.

Hearing from this tone, why doesn’t he feel excited at all?

Doesn’t he know that I can bring him a lot of popularity?

But Baby wasn’t a spoiled girl either. She immediately created a game and invited Xiao Ran.

Seeing how indifferent Xiao Ran was, the viewers were all enraged.

“Host, what is your attitude, how dare you treat our Baby so indifferently!”

“Host, are you not a man? Don’t you know how to cherish a beautiful jade? You have to be gentle to Baby, gentle! Understand!?”

“Wtf, it is Baby you know? Host, you have to hold onto this opportunity, didn’t you see that the streaming room had a sudden influx of 80,000 viewers? They are all attracted by Baby!!”

“What do you people know? My Kun Shen’s move is called ‘letting loose for easy capture’. Baby has been used to being served by others. Seeing my Kun Shen being so indifferent, Baby will certainly be incited!”

“Your ass with ‘letting loose for easy capture’, what if Baby gets angry and immediately leave? Are you going to compensate Baby to me?”

“Is Baby your mother? We are here to watch the streams!”

“Wtf, I just entered the room and saw someone scolding our Baby. Brothers, attack!!!”

…

Xiao Ran was speechless at the chatbox that was refreshing like a waterfall.

In just a short moment, Baby’s fans had already started a fight with the people that were originally inside the streaming room.

They were cursing at each other cheerfully and without restraint.

Xiao Ran had chosen to ignore. This was the kind of moment that he must not speak and allow the viewers to express themselves as they pleased…

After entering the pick and ban phase, Baby and Xiao Ran were connected by voice chat.
“Hello, Kun Shen!” Baby’s clear and beautiful voice echoed.

After hearing this greeting, Xiao Ran’s streaming room had hanged for a moment before an explosion.

“Ahhhhhh, Baby!!!”

“My god, it really is Baby’s voice!!!”

“Hello, Baby!”

“Is the one on top a fool? Baby is talking to host, what you replying for!?”

“Host, help me to ask if Baby needs a handbag?”

“Host, host, help me relay a message to Baby. I am her loyal fan and my walls are filled with her posters. Even my ceiling!”

“Your ceiling has her posters? As a ‘veteran’, I understood instantly!”

“Damn, you guys on top are so dirty. You actually lie on the bed and face the ceiling while master***** to our Baby. Too dirtyyyyy. But I like it, I will go and get a ladder now!”

“What a great posture, why didn’t I think of that!”

“Are all of you a group of dirty demon kings? But Baby’s voice is too nice, I am already ‘hard’!”

…

A single statement from Baby was enough to blow up the streaming room. Xiao Ran was lamented and clicking his tongue. This was the influence of a celebrity.

If he was to get into the professional league of the LoL scene and obtained the world champion, would he become like Baby and cause countless people to go into a frenzy with a single statement?

After thinking carefully, it might not be enough.

If it isn’t enough to be the LoL world champion, what if I obtain the Olympic gold medal like Liu Xiang?

If that isn’t enough, what if I become a swimming world champion like Ning Zetao?

What?

Still not enough?

Wtf, then I shall become the Olympic champion for the 100-meters spring, 400-meters sprint, Long jump, High jump, Ping Pong, and Tennis!

And Soccer! Damn it, China’s soccer had been lousy for 10,000 years now. Wait till I lead China’s national soccer team out of Asia and march towards the world. I will bring a World Cup back and see who will compete against me with fame!

Won’t I have a few million worship points by then?

“Hi Hi, Kun Shen, can you hear me?”
