You Boys Play Games Very Well - Chapter 76
Chapter 76
Shan Zhu received the keys to his new house and had permission to move his stuff in.
It had taken Shan Zhu a long time to finalize the new house in order to find one that met all his requirements – furnished apartment, convenient transportation, located in the e-sports town; all in the goal of aiding his future development plans.
The only downside was that the apartment was about a thirty minute drive from the University City. Because of this, his plan to move Ling Meng in while still in school was ruined.
Shan Zhu converted the two-bedroom apartment into a semi-residential/semi-office unit with a personal studio, keeping only one bedroom and using the other as a dedicated broadcast room. He got a whole new computer and streaming equipment set-up, so that he didn’t look like an amateur anchor anymore. The equipment he previously used was set up right next to it, so that Ling Meng could stream here together with him on the weekends.
At the urging of the darling, curious powder, Ling Meng chose an auspicious day and made an introductory stream of Shan Zhu’s apartment.
“This is Mang God’s studio, it looks professional, doesn’t it?” Ling Meng showcased Shan Zhu’s equipment from every angle, “It’s said that the price of this high-capacitance mic starts at four digits, do you all think Mang God is going to transform himself into a music anchor?”
The barrage was filled with comments asking Mang God to sing.
“Sing? I’ve never heard him sing. He must be tone deaf, why else hasn’t he ever been heard singing?
“What’s the use of a nice voice? There are plenty of nice-sounding people who sing out of tune.
“I sing even when you all don’t force me……him not singing is understandable, his idol burden is heavy. Luckily, I don’t live like that.”
He panned the lens across, “This is my computer. To be exact, it used to be Mang God’s, so the live broadcasts you saw previously were broadcast by Mang God from this computer.
“His camera doesn’t seem to have a beauty filter either. Should I get one, it seems it can automatically give someone a small V face1……Forget it, these days there are not many honest anchors like us.
“Right, it’s all his, I haven’t moved my own stuff from the dorm…..because I don’t live here, I’m still in school…..Fuck your cohabitation, no cohabitation.”
“And these two e-sports chairs are a sign of endorsement from Vege Team, a housewarming gift from Yam God, thank you very much to him. Giving an advertisement: it’s very comfortable to sit in them.”
— Xiang God can endorse you too. Let Xiang God endorse you too!
“What do I need so many chairs for, playing mahjong? But our computer mice and keyboards are FRUIT brand endorsements, the equipment of his ‘family’ is very useful.”
— Xiang God, are you watching the stream too!? The anchor has made it very clear things are still missing from the room!
Guava.SVIP: Can do.
“…..Guava, you’re here. Don’t listen to them, I’m not missing anything.”
— Inconsiderate.
Ling Meng said very sincerely, “This just occurred to me, there is a deficiency of sincere and genuine fondness for my powder.”
— Just think about that kind of stuff.
— I like your kind of ambitious, motivational anchor.
— Anchor Little Lemon, Challenge The Impossible2.
— @Guava @Banana @XiangJiao that’s three.
Guava.SVIP: Can do.
“Guava, you don’t have to mix in this group of filth.”
— Where’s the big housekeeper? How is it that I have the guts to keep going on like this, I have a premonition that sooner or later the big housekeeper will shut Xiang God up in the little black house3.
“Your big housekeeper is cooking, I’ll take you to GANK4 him after the tour.”
There wasn’t a lot of stuff in the studio yet beyond the two computers and simple furniture. There was a full-wall projection screen, so it seemed like that would be fun to use in competitions in the future.
“Does anyone remember this thing?” Ling Meng went to the next bedroom to show off the big lemon that occupied the largest corner, “We moved it from the cake shop. The shop owner xuejie was very reluctant to give it up, saying it had been their shop mascot.”
He flipped the camera around, posing with a super-fierce expression mirroring the big lemon’s. The little friends cried out “scared the hell out of me.” With a skillfully-taken screenshot, the image was spread around as part of a new expression pack.
“The bedroom of Mang God……there doesn’t seem to be anything worth seeing, the bedding was purchased by auntie…..who’s auntie? Mang God’s mama….opposition? She’s very nice, no opposition.”
Ling Meng thought back to the first time he met Shan Zhu’s mama. He couldn’t control the corners of his mouth and they twitched: “I thought the parents would be upset, but it turned out the person most opposed to us two was me……when will we tie the knot…..fuck your knot!
“That’s the bathroom over there, you don’t have to look at it…….you want to see the bathroom too? You all are voyeurs…….you want to see how many toothbrushes are in the bathroom? Is Mang God not allowed to love a man with two toothbrushes?!”
“We’d look at the living room, but there’s nothing to see in there. The furniture was all supplied by the property manager, later on when there’s free time, decorating can be done. It’s an upper floor unit with a good view,” Ling Meng showed the view to everyone out the window, “In this direction, there’s a panoramic view of the e-sports town of North Hebei. FRUIT can be seen faintly in the distance, VEGETABLE, wait, wait, there’s the team base. The competition venue is close too.”
“How far to the FRUIT base? About 10-15 minutes on foot, it’s really close. With a telescope here, you could be an e-sports paparazzi.”
— What kind of career is that, are you developing it?
— Crouching for three days and three nights, later on found that e-sports players don’t go out of the house at all.
— Xiang God: He can use a telescope, wouldn’t I be able to look over too? Reverse Paparazzi GET [forced joke]
Ling Meng was afraid of Xiang Jiao getting another idea, so he quickly changed the topic to the kitchen. He made a shush gesture at the camera and crept over silently. The audience couldn’t see his movements, but they could guess what he was trying to do.
— We snuck past the 18 positions (reference to a strategy mobile game) and hid in the roadside grass, ready to launch a GANK wave.
— The enemy has no sense of crisis; the soldiers are still clearing the tower (reference to a different mobile game).
— We’ve showed off a jungler skill! Suddenly flashing EQ double effect, succeeded in taking down the first drop of health! (all LOL references)
— ??? New arrival here, isn’t this a Legend of the Galaxy game anchor broadcast room?
The first drop of Shan Zhu’s health was taken by Ling Meng, who successfully jump-scared him. Shan Zhu knocked over the vinegar bottle, but with his sharp reflexes, he quickly picked it up so not much spilled out. However, the air was already full of the scent of vinegar.
Shan Zhu looked at him with an expression of great helplessness: “Are you really happy to be this naughty?”
Of course, the water friends were happy to help answer:
— This kind of naughty is very enjoyable.
— Naughtiness makes me forget myself, naughtiness makes me happy.
— Naughty with stable and calm, stable and calm with naughty. (personality types)
— Even if naughty, you’re reluctant to hit me.
And the perpetrator was covering his nose right now: “It’s so sour, I don’t like vinegar, it’s not lemon flavor.”
“Blaming me?” Mang God cleaned up the dining table, his every move recorded on the camera. The water friends had never seen such a homely Mang God. For a moment, this was everything to them.
— Mang God knocked over a vinegar bottle, is Xiang God not leaving yet?
— Golden Mang has logged off, Green Mang has logged on!
— Stay-at-home Mang God, positive evaluation! A mango-patterned apron or a lemon pattern!
— You boys cook very well~
— Mang God can also cook? Endangered good boyfriend species!
“I’ll tell you a secret, Mang God can’t cook. He’s learning currently.”
“That doesn’t stop you from eating a ton.”
“Your level, I admit that your progress is fast, at least I can eat what you’ve learned to make in these past few days.” Ling Meng’s livelihood plan was to survive off others, so he hurried to blow to counteract the anger.
Shan Zhu’s inspiration for learning to cook actually came from the phrase “started with food delivery.” Delivery, anyone can do it. If there was a day Ling Meng sent out a delivery challenge and he was beaten by someone better, what if this guy who only had eating and playing games on the brain was stolen away from him?
Ling Meng certainly didn’t know the other’s thoughts, he was just probing into the pot right now: “What are you making tonight? Roasted ribs? That’s great, I like to eat ribs the most.”
Shan Zhu clipped a small piece off, placing it before his lips and blowing gently before feeding it to Ling Meng: “How about a taste?”
Ling Meng commented while chewing: “Ah, it’s lousy. Needs to be a little hotter.”
“Want it be spicier again?”
“Want, where’s the bottle of chili sauce my ma sent for me?”
……
The two men went to study the dishes. The hearts of the Mang God girlfriend powder were fluttering at the sight of the scene just now.
— Who noticed the boyfriend perspective6 of Mang God just now?!
— Mang God couldn’t help but open his own mouth as he fed the ribs [smile]
— This screenshot is instantly an SSR!
— It’s a lot more fun to watch streams than play Woman B’s love sim game. The key point is that even without Krypton Gold7, there are special cards!
