Chapter 34: Captain Chi Enters The Fray? Pro Players Banned From Competing!
How can you not die?!
“What’s wrong?”
Peng Chen’s heart skipped a beat seeing his expression.
“Nothing, ran into a small problem.”
Shen Qing Yu remained expressionless.
Peng Chen narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: “You’d better be able to fix this, otherwise… forget about being tied together, this won’t pass without drinking three bottles of Jiang Yi’s fake wine!”
Shen Qing Yu’s face changed.
You want my life?!
Of course, he had calmed down now, realizing he had been too anxious and shouldn’t have “bluntly” intervened.
— His star power and popularity were higher than Chi Ye’s, and he had paid commenters. What was the rush?
He reopened Weibo and “sincerely” posted: 【 Actually, after scrolling through my phone, I should check it, but I just got a missed call. I’m really sorry, I won’t post on Weibo anymore from now on 『 Sad 』. 】
As expected, after this Weibo post, it wasn’t long before the paid commenters and fans joined in, and public opinion gradually rose.
「 No way, is someone really pitying the unpopular Ye? 」
「 LOL, my brother just accidentally swiped, and it’s like you’re asking for his life. Isn’t accidentally swiping a normal human thing? 」
「 @ Shen Qing Yu, if your account was hacked, just blink your eyes. Please surf safely, stay away from the fan circle, focus on filming, and don’t try to spy on the fans’ lives 『 Dog Head 』 Hit your little hand! 」
「 Be cautious with gossip! @ Shen Qing Yu, we know you have no ill intentions, but do others? 」
「 Unpopular Ye, have some conscience, cursing women? 」
「 If you didn’t receive an invitation, go yourself. You’ve lost all dignity for popularity? 」
「 A habitual offender of riding on popularity, no camera time, serves you right! 」
Shen Qing Yu looked with satisfaction at the changes on the hot search list. Chi Ye’s “popularity” and discussion volume were rapidly increasing, while Peng Chen’s was gradually decreasing.
Happily, he was about to look up and “report” his success to Peng Chen, when by chance, he caught a glimpse of Chi Ye’s gaze from the side and back.
Shen Qing Yu: “…”
Seeing him look over, Chi Ye slowly raised a middle finger to him.
Then, without stopping, he directly opened Weibo. He didn’t even need to search carefully — more than half of the top thirty hot searches were related to “Rise Group Gathering.”
It was a “hunting ground” where you wouldn’t even pick the wrong one if you closed your eyes.
He saw himself click into a trending topic called #Shen Qing Yu is so fake#, and then, following the top Weibo with the highest popularity, he liked and then unliked them one by one.
#Shen Qing Yu’s brainless acting skills#
#Shen Qing Yu cut in line at the airport and acted like a diva, yelling at staff#
#Shen Qing Yu caught stealing props on set, affecting filming progress#
#Peng Chen shits, Shen Qing Yu eats shit#
#…#
He clicked on more than a dozen black trending topics about Shen Qing Yu, liking and unliking a total of fifty-eight high-ranking comments.
Then, Chi Ye had not stopped.
Under the disbelieving and shocked gazes of Director Zhang, and the surrounding crowd, he found Peng Chen’s trending topics and, following suit, continued to “accidentally swipe” in public!
#Peng Chen stinks and makes Screaming Night guests uncomfortable#
#Peng Chen is so ugly#
#Peng Chen little giant#
#Staff exposes Peng Chen has body odor#
#…#
A total of more than forty “accidental swipes.”
Chi Ye calmly reopened his Weibo and edited and sent two posts identical to Shen Qing Yu’s: 【 Punished with a day offline ( Laughing and crying ) 】
【 Sorry, I accidentally swiped, I won’t post on Weibo anymore 『 Sad 』 】
Then he put away his phone, not even looking at the outside world or the scene, which had completely gone mad, and simply looked back at Shen Qing Yu and Peng Chen again — raising two middle fingers.
Anyway, he didn’t have any camera shots, so they couldn’t capture him!
“What?!”
Shen Qing Yu looked at him in disbelief, feeling like he was looking at a monster.
Peng Chen was equally dumbfounded and incredulous.
How dare he do that?!!
“Accidentally swiped” so many times?! Is he crazy?!
Not just the two of them, but all the big stars and insiders who were surfing the 5G wave were stunned.
No one expected that Shen Qing Yu’s one accidental swipe would directly lead to Chi Ye’s 100+ accidental swipes!
Did this person really not care about outside opinions anymore?
What kind of crazy move is this?
Regarding this, Chi Ye himself stated he didn’t care at all. Shen Qing Yu had been so “fake” with his accidental swipe before, so why was it a problem for him to be “fake” back now?
If you can accidentally swipe, can’t I?
What kind of logic is that!
In fact, it was true.
At that moment, Weibo was stunned by Chi Ye’s continuous “accidental swipe, like, and then cancel” actions.
After realizing what was happening, Weibo instantly exploded!
「 That’s awesome, you can play like that? 」
「 Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter, Rise’s true talented player has entered the game! 」
「 No professional players allowed! 」
「 Brother, aren’t your hands tired? 」
「 100 times counts as an accidental swipe?! 」
「 Why do I find the unpopular Ye inexplicably cute… 」
「 So sarcastic, hahaha. 」
Of course, Shen Qing Yu’s and Peng Chen’s fans were also going mad, attacking Chi Ye and calling him fake and a bitch.
But Chi Ye couldn’t see any of this. After raising his middle finger, he replied to the comment that asked, 「 100 times counts as an accidental swipe? 」: 「 I used Zhang Xianming’s chicken feet to like them. Xianming’s chicken feet are too slippery! 」
Netizens: “…”
After this operation, Chi Ye’s popularity directly “shot to the sky,” reaching a terrifying 8 million+.
#Chi Ye accidentally swiped 100 times# 8.03 million ( Explosive )!
A disparity leading all other demons and monsters of Rise!
This is the true top streamer!
Feeling a sense of foreboding, the people at Chi Ye’s table all moved their chairs, subconsciously trying to distance themselves from him.
Chi Ye’s face didn’t blush and his heart didn’t skip a beat, completely oblivious.
…
Meanwhile, at the front table, at the round table where Sheng Ning was seated.
The assistant walked over, bowing, and looked at Sheng Ning: “Chi Ye’s popularity is all over the internet now. Should we give him camera time?”
Sheng Ning calmly put away her phone, her expression already back to normal: “Give him camera time? Give him a fart!”
“He’s just acting crazy, seeking attention. Will Screaming Night lack his popularity?”
The assistant remained silent.
Chi Ye’s 100+ accidental swipes were indeed outrageous, but even more outrageous was Rise’s collective performance tonight. The highest hot search topic for Screaming Night was already beyond the twenty-fifth spot!
“Don’t worry about him. If the kiwifruit side puts pressure on you, just tell me.”
Sheng Ning waved her hand.
The assistant could only nod and leave.
Before leaving, she noticed that at the furthest table, Jin Xia was frequently looking towards the back.
Hmm… this young lady must be worried sick, right?
…
Jin Xia was seated furthest from Sheng Ning, but her table had the most camera coverage.
Because the round table included not only Jin Xia but also Shang Youshu and Shi Jinwei, two top little flowers.
— This year’s Screaming Night arrangements were on point. Except for Sheng Ning, who was at odds with these three, three of the Four Little Ones were arranged together.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager was distractedly watching the stage, and from time to time, she looked back in Chi Ye’s direction.
“Heh.”
A little flower with exquisite and three-dimensional features sitting opposite her let out a cold laugh. Her beautiful eyes, as brilliant as gemstones, glanced at Jin Xia, but her voice had a somewhat masculine virility: “Do you really want to help the poor?”
Jin Xia was startled, her pair of peach blossom eyes looked at her displeasuredly, and she let out a soft snort, more arrogant than her: “What do you know.”
Shi Jinwei: “?”
“Alright, don’t quarrel, this Chi Ye is too amazing! 100 accidental swipes! Such a move!”
Shang Youshu, sitting beside them, stopped the two. Her pure face was full of astonishment and the urgency of not being able to eat gossip: “When will this award ceremony end… I want to go over and eat gossip up close!”
Shi Jinwei pouted, clearly disdainful of Chi Ye’s showy move.
But because Sister Shang said it, she could only sulk in silence.
Flutter.
Suddenly, the Empress Dowager stood up.
“Huh?”
The surrounding crowd looked at her in surprise.
Shi Jinwei was stunned: “What are you doing?”
Jin Xia didn’t speak. She glanced at the few people and noticed that the cameras were still far away. She bent down and sneakily scurried towards Chi Ye’s table.
Everyone: “…”
“No, is she crazy? Does she really have a relationship with that Chi Ye?”
Shi Jinwei couldn’t understand it one bit.
Shang Youshu, however, was extremely envious: “Eating gossip up close! How dare she!”
Shi Jinwei: “…”
“Sister Shang, don’t be so abstract… no, with that brain of hers, how did she get to where she is?”
On the other side.
When the Empress Dowager sneakily arrived at Chi Ye’s table, it was precisely when everyone at Chi Ye’s table had “run off.”
A crowd of people looked at the graceful but sneaky figure with a moment of confusion.
Chi Ye was also surprised: “Why did you come over?”
“Teacher Chi, I heard you don’t have camera coverage here?”
Jin Xia, with her bright, dark peach blossom eyes, “inspected the territory” and sat down next to Chi Ye.
Hmm… this spot is good. Not only no cameras, but also fewer people!
The surrounding crowd: Damn it! I knew I shouldn’t have left, why did Jin Xia suddenly come over?!
Upon hearing this, Chi Ye immediately understood the Empress Dowager’s “intention” and said cheerfully: “That’s right.”
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed: “There’s such a good place?!”
The crowd: “…”
“I’ll block for you. Drink quickly, and then hurry back. Aren’t you getting an award later?”
Chi Ye ignored the others, turned his chair, and blocked the front view for the Empress Dowager.
Under the table, he handed over a milk tea.
Jin Xia’s peach blossom eyes lit up, but she didn’t take it. Instead, she looked at Chi Ye unhappily: “Teacher Chi, how could you think of me like that?”
Chi Ye: “?”
“I came here for you, not for spring water!”
Chi Ye: “…”
“Sheng Ning, that bad woman, I knew it!” The Empress Dowager “openly” pointed at Shen Qing Yu and Peng Chen not far away: “They are not good people either! I’ll write it down in my little notebook!”
Shen Qing Yu and Peng Chen, who were also looking at them in astonishment, saw this. The latter was fine, but the former directly lowered his head and pretended to be an ostrich.
“What’s there to fear, she and I are both first-tier.”
Peng Chen snorted coldly, but he didn’t continue to glare “fiercely” at Chi Ye.
“Then remember it, and get revenge later,” Chi Ye urged: “Drink it, and go back after you’re done.”
The Empress Dowager was composed for a moment, then observed Chi Ye’s expression before happily accepting the milk tea: “Okay, then I’ll drink it, um… hiss…!!”
She felt the cool liquid entering her mouth, bit down hard on the straw, her charming peach blossom eyes blinking frantically.
Chi Ye understood her meaning: It’s delicious!
Amused, he considerately “shielded her eyes and head” for the Empress Dowager.
…
At the same time.
“Where is Jin Xia? Why can’t we find her?!”
“What? She went to Chi Ye’s side?!”
“!!”
When the chief director received this news backstage, his vision went black.
Immediately after, he had to face a problem — whether or not to give Chi Ye camera time.
He had been tempted earlier when he saw Chi Ye’s 100 accidental swipes and explode the hot search.
The main reason was that the damn Rise group had almost completely overshadowed the Screaming Night’s popularity!
His performance couldn’t be completed, so he was anxious!
But… considering that Chi Ye had popularity now, should he compromise with an unpopular star? At the same time, Sheng Ning’s shareholder’s attitude was also very firm.
So he didn’t give it.
But now, Jin Xia has passed…
If she doesn’t come back, then is he giving the shot to the camera or not?
If this isn’t given, even a top streamer in his prime could be “lost,” wouldn’t that be even more embarrassing?
While he was struggling with this, the door next to him suddenly opened, and the assistant walked in with a look of despair: “It’s bad, Director.”
“What is it now?!”
The Chief Director of Screaming Night felt that his lifespan would be reduced after this.
“That Jiang… Jiang Mou and that Ji Zhua Zhang… they’ve started again!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing the names of these two “plague gods,” the director’s eyes went black, and he sat down on the chair: “Red Carpet once, Gala once… what else do they want to do?! Rise! I’ll fuck your dead horses!”
……
The Fake Wine God of War and the Chicken Feet God of War really couldn’t sit still.
The captain of the Talented Player, when he acts, it’s a disparity of leadership; he is full of the composure of an old artist.
At this moment, who the real genius is, is already clear, no need for further explanation.
But admiration aside, the Chicken Feet God of War and the Fake Wine God of War were also Hardworking Players who refused to admit defeat.
Seeing that all the popularity had been snatched by Chi Ye, the two buddies put their heads together and went at it again!
Zhang Ji Zhua was completely convinced by Chi Ye’s remark, “Xian Ming’s chicken feet are too slippery.”
Without the captain, how could his Ji Zhua have the popularity he has now?
Anyway, after today, he doesn’t plan to stay in the industry.
So he directly “avenged” Chi Ye by “killing a traitor”!
“Shen Qing Yu’s hand slipped… Heh heh, he’s even more outrageous. You guys don’t know, just a few days ago at Rise’s second anniversary, didn’t he give us gifts?”
“Yes, it was an 80,000 yuan bracelet, given in the morning, and he was going back after posting on Weibo in the evening!”
“Even that aside, Shen Qing Yu usually likes to give other artists fake goods!”
“The most ridiculous thing is that he once gave Peng Chen a Master’s Sarira that had been ‘consecrated’… Hahaha, my friends, that broken stone was no Sarira at all. He told me privately that he picked up that stone from an outhouse in his hometown. He said it looked nice, so he brought it back to the dorm.”
“Peng Chen still sniffs it every day, never letting it out of his sight while eating and sleeping, what is he sniffing? The lingering fragrance here?!”
“I also suggest here that friends who have received gifts from Shen Qing Yu check their gifts, don’t tell me he picked them up from an outhouse again!”
Netizens: “??!”
The many Big Stars who had previously received gifts from Shen Qing Yu: “??!”
Peng Chen, who was also secretly observing after getting the news: “?????????”
Looking at the “Sarira” on his wrist, which he had already polished to the point of almost developing a patina.
He said he wondered why this thing always had a faint smell of history, he thought it was the fragrance of a master.
So it turns out it’s the master’s shit smell?!
Shen Qing Yu, I’ll fuck your mother!
Peng Chen stared dead at Shen Qing Yu, a murderous intent already evident in his eyes.
Shen Qing Yu: “…”
His face was also deathly pale, completely dumbfounded.
Zhang Ji Zhua, fuck you! Are you trying to tear my face off?!
You can say other things, but can you casually say this?!
He hated the Chicken Feet God of War to death in his heart, but on the surface, he shook his head: “Don’t believe him, he’s talking nonsense, this is really Master Shi’s Sarira!”
“Yes, it really is Master Shi’s Sarira!”
How could Peng Chen not see Shen Qing Yu’s guilt, his face trembled: “I want to turn you into a Sarira right now!”
Shen Qing Yu: “?!”
“Chi Ye was right, you’re really not a good person!”
Shen Qing Yu: “…”
On the other side, seeing the Chicken Feet God of War continue to carry the team and gain tremendous traffic and attention, even surpassing him as the mentor, the Fake Wine God of War Jiang Mou was in a panic.
—There aren’t that many scandals in Rise; if the Chicken Feet guy finishes talking about them all, what will he say?!
The two immediately started a “speed-talking” contest: “Shen Qing Yu really isn’t a good person; he’s even stingier than I am! He sells all his used and broken items at sky-high prices to fans, calling it ‘welfare’ for them!”
“As far as I know, there’s a broken razor, half-used facial cleanser, socks… the minimum price is 1999!”
Netizens: “??!”
Various Big Stars: “??!”
Screaming Chief Director: “Rise, you’re going to die!”
There’s still more?
Are these people from Rise still around?
“Fuck you, Zhang Ji Zhua!! You’re really not a decent person, and Jiang Jia Jiu, fuck you!”
Shen Qing Yu saw this scene and started to tremble with anger.
His expression management was inferior to Peng Chen’s, and after feeling the strange… and angry gazes from all around, he was about to faint.
“Tsk tsk.”
From behind, Director Zhang watched this scene. Not yet recovered from Chi Ye’s shock, he was once again controlled by the two Gods of War. He turned to Chi Ye and said, “This is the team you led?”
Chi Ye remained silent: “There are no weak soldiers under a strong general!”
“Pfft.”
Someone, hearing this, spurted out.
But Chi Ye paid no attention.
Empress Dowager had been forcibly pushed back by him earlier, and he had now returned to his gossip mode.
Honestly, Rise’s bunch of demons and monsters were too beastly; they pushed the Screaming Night event out of the top twenty-eight.
Such a high-traffic Gala in the entertainment industry was ruined like this!
If he were the Chief Director of Screaming Night, he would probably want to take a knife and chop these bastards to pieces!
“Fortunately, I’m still quite steady; I only came once.”
Thinking this, his gaze suddenly stopped, falling on a screenshot of a Xianyu listing posted by a gossip netizen.
—The omnipotent netizens had already dug up Shen Qing Yu’s alt account listing various items on Xianyu.
Broken razors, half-used facial cleansers, old clothes… even socks…
Why did these items look so familiar?!
His eyes widened, and he cursed, “Fuck, Shen Qing Yu, did you steal my stuff and sell it on Xianyu?!”
“Are you even human?!”
He directly logged into Weibo and posted a message tagging Shen Qing Yu: 【@Shen Qing Yu, why are you selling my stuff?! 】
Gapers: “??!”
Are there more experts?!
Is the Captain going to enter the fray again?!
Leave some life for others/Screaming Night!
The Screaming Chief Director went mad, glancing sideways with his tongue sticking out: Kiwifruit Screaming Night? Fuck, this is Rise Screaming Night!
Chi Ye was still furious. He didn’t recall these items, but Keke certainly did!
The message just sent: 【Chi Ge, these are all things you lost before… 】
I didn’t expect Shen Qing Yu to steal and list these things on Xianyu!
No, why did he even steal socks?!
What kind of phantom thief is Little Qing?!
