Ch6 - Meeting Once Again

Editor: Decembery

[!!!]

[Holy frick! God Mu really flipped the car?!]

[So gratifying, when are you gonna live stream washing your hair in a handstand?]

Mu Feibai raised his hand and lightly rubbed the tip of his nose, before putting on an angry face. “I must have pampered you guys too much. Do you really love seeing me flip the car so much? Didn’t you say you were my fans?” 

The barrage:

[The extremes of being a fan is being a blackened fan, got it?]

[Hahahaha, it’s because it’s so rare that we love seeing you flip the car!]

[Obviously it’s because you laugh so happily every time you get killed by others, and we wish to see you happy, so we love watching you flip the car oh~]

Mu Feibai suddenly recalled a comment he had seen.

“Just then someone said his voice sounded so soft and nice, like… the Omega of their dreams or something?” He couldn’t help laughing, “You also saw earlier, he was a buff, at least 1.8m guy. Really? The Omega of your dreams, looks like him?”

As he spoke, he swiped across the screen of his PDA, putting “Ghost2207”’s player information up in the centre of his vision.

On the screen, the other’s impressive build and sturdy arms were clearly displayed. 

The audience wasn’t convinced: [It’s just a game model, you don’t have to put your actual measurements in. Omegas can also choose strong and buff body types, aren’t they allowed to have unique aesthetics?]

Mu Feibai laughed in response, “Just based on his skills, if he were an Omega—”

Actually, when the audience saw Mu Feibai flipping the car by the opponent’s hands, they also knew that there was no way he was an Omega. Most likely, he was a pro-gamer or a retired boss who, in order to hide his identity, chose to use a voice changer.

But seeing Mu Feibai about to make another Fg, the barrage grew lively again: 

[So if he turns out to be an Omega, are you gonna play the suona in a handstand?]

[Handstands are too easy, just kneel on one leg and call them dad!]

[How about this, if he turns out to be an Omega… marry him?]

Mu Feibai is someone who likes to make fun bets with his fans, and he wasn’t worried about social deaths either. Despite seeing the suggestions in the barrage become more and more harmful reputation-wise, he laughed, “Sure, I’ll go add him as a friend now and ask him. If he really is an Omega, I’ll propose on the spot, ok?” 

It was just a joke—to this day, there hasn’t been a single Omega player in the e-sports circle.

This time, there’s no way his Fg is going to collapse.

However, the friend request he’d just sent out seemed to sink like a rock in the ocean. Even after a long time, the other didn’t accept.

After winning another two rank-deciding matches, he returned to his waiting room for a break. Only upon reopening the bullet screen and looking through snippets of the audience’s comments did he find out, Mu Feibai wanted to add him as a friend.

“Him? Why does he want to add me as a friend?” Qiu Yu questioned.

A pro-league player like Mu Feibai probably didn’t have enough time on his hands to chase after someone he’d just met in a game. Even if he was killed once in a one-on-one match, he would probably just laugh it off. Victory and defeat were common occurrences in the life of soldiers, and Mu Feibai wasn’t some god who had never flipped the car either—in previous broadcasts, he had lost to high-ranked players as well, and nothing bad happened after that. 

It was because he understood his point, which was further corroborated by the original body’s memories, that Qiu Yu could boldly fight Mu Feibai without worrying about future implications.

On one hand, he wanted to test how much he can do in the game, and on the other, he also had some thoughts of rubbing some heat—to meet a live-streaming pro-league player in a rank-deciding match was a stroke of fortune. After this game, there was little chance they would be sorted into the same match again.

Qiu Yu had always been good at seizing fleeting opportunities in battle, therefore, he also didn’t waste this chance to attract more viewers to his broadcast room.

But he had no idea Mu Feibai would add him as a friend. 

[Hahahaha does the anchor not know? Before the match, god Mu promised that if he lost a single game in the rank-deciding matches, he would wash his hair in a handstand. And immediately after he said that, he flipped the car in your hands.]

[Because you collapsed his Fg in one shot ah, anchor! Laughing to death……]

[god Mu also made a bet with the fans, saying there’s no way you’re an Omega. He sent you a friend invite just to ask, he also said that if you did turn out to be an Omega, he would propose on the spot!]

Qiu Yu:…… 

What is this all about?

Do kids in this world all make such big gambles?

“I…how could I be an Omega.” Qiu Yu immediately denied.

Originally he had no plans to hide his gender, however after Mu Feibai’s words, there was no way for him to reveal it anymore. 

Thank goodness this was just a game, and no one would catch a whiff of his pheromones. Moreover, he didn’t put up this information in his broadcast room either, so as long as people don’t check the contract he signed with the gaming platform, there was no way to find out whether he was an Omega or not.

Those watching in the broadcast room were only looking for excitement, heedless of aggravating the matter:

[What a shame, now I’m really hoping the anchor really is an Omega, I really want to see god Mu proposing on one knee!]

[Hahaha they only heard that your voice was really soft and then guessed that you were an Omega. Has anchor not considered pretending to be an Omega to get god Mu to propose?] 

[Anchor, are you really not an Omega? Then can you pretend to be one? I really want to see god Mu proposing QwQ]

Qiu Yu: ……

“I’m going to go queue up for another match.” Expressionlessly, he raised his hand and once more opened the barrage to ban all comments, “For fairness, I won’t leave the barrage on during matches.”

He really was helpless in dealing with these audience members who love stirring things up—although avoiding confrontation was disgraceful, as long as it works, it was narrowly acceptable. 

Before he had recovered from the barrage’s words, his vision darkened before lightening up again, revealing the youth he had just confronted earlier, now in the same pre-battle waiting room.

Seeing the avatar of the person in front of him, Mu Feibai was stunned for a moment, before laughing, “It’s you…”

He arrived in front of Qiu Yu in two steps, reaching out his hand, “We seem fated to be together, don’t you think?”

Qiu Yu didn’t want to act too peculiarly, so he reached out and lightly shook Mu Feibai’s hand, replying, “Hello.” 

This game was randomly selected to be point-capture mode, located in a ruined commercial centre. All around the field were pieces of crumbled cement, moreover, the map was also shrouded in the darkness of night. Night-vision goggles could only be unlocked and bought using the bases’ energy, hence, junglers had a greater impact on the overall battle.

Mu Feibai unhesitantly picked a gun suitable for jungling, before turning to ask Qiu Yu, “What position do you play?”

Qiu Yu pondered for a moment, answering, “Bruiser.”

Judging from the previous survival round, he was indeed suited for the assault position. 

Hence, Mu Feibai didn’t doubt him, he picked up and threw an assault rifle in his direction. “Last time we were opponents, and how we’re teammates. Let’s do our best ah, little Ghost.”

As memory fragments floated to the surface of his thoughts, Qiu Yu reflexively answered, “I should be older than you.”

Mu Feibai fell silent for a moment, before laughing. “Oh really? Are you bigger than me?”

Qiu Yu opened his mouth, about to reply but stopped. 

He wasn’t some pure and naive little rabbit. Making such jokes was all too normal and commonplace in the army, filled to the brim with rough blokes. So he instantly understood the moment Mu Feibai spoke, and his expression turned a little strange.

Beside them a passerby teammate chuckled. “What are you two doing, comparing sizes right here and now?”

Mu Feibai looked towards the metal tag hanging at his chest, “…Li Ji?”

Professional teams’ daily training always consisted of playing in the game, hence they often met in the game and had some impression of each other’s training IDs. 

Li Ji didn’t hide his identity. “Tsk, why did I end up in the same game as you? Now we’re infighting for the jungler position.”

Mu Feibai threw to Li Ji his shotgun. “Then you go jungling, I’ll accompany my family’s little Ghost and go fight for some points.”

Catching the gun, Li Ji pointed at the tag hanging at the front of Qiu Yu’s chest. “His name is obviously “Ghost”, you illiterate.”

Mu Feibai unabashedly smiled, shooting back, “go go go, don’t disturb us.” 

Li Ji didn’t go away. “Command?”

Mu Feibai widened his eyes, “I already gave you the jungler position and you still want to command? Get tf away, I’m commanding!”

Li Ji continued to joke with him, “Did you decide that for yourself? Why don’t you ask if all the other people agree?”

In a corner, two Real·Passerby-Teammates immediately huddled together and nodded: 

“Agree, agree!”

“As long as the bosses are ok with it!”

They actually ended up being carried by two professional players—even if they were commended to do suicide attacks, they would still nod and agree!

Mu Feibai placed an arm on Qiu Yu’s shoulder. “What about you? Darling, do you mind me commanding?” 

Qiu Yu: ……

Who’s your darling?

Although he really wanted to say it, he remembered Mu Feibai’s two Fgs that were doomed to fail and decided to lessen interactions with this kind of drama queen, as to avoid rousing the other’s interest.

Hence he emotionlessly replied, “Agreed.” 

Mu Feibai smiled, “You didn’t even retort? So you’re also agreeing with me calling you “darling”, right?”

Qiu Yu: ……

If it’s intolerable, there was no need to endure any further.

After fighting in wars for so many years, Qiu Yu habitually favoured action over words. Immediately, he lifted his hands and grabbed Mu Feibai’s elbow, wrenching him in front of himself. Lifting his foot, Qiu Yu stomped down on his butt, propelling him towards the base’s gradually opening gate. 

—The countdown timer finished, this game has formally begun.

Qiu Yu didn’t continue to chat with Mu Feibai and the other professional player, heading out into the night alone with his assault rifle, walking towards the nearest point.

Although he got kicked, Mu Feibai wasn’t angry. Rather, he laughingly patted his butt and followed after Qiu Yu with his gun, looking quite well-behaved.

It must be said that with two professional-league players in a team, it was pretty difficult to lose in this rank-deciding match. 

Mu Feibai’s commands were clear and logical, and Li Ji’s jungling skills were also pretty good. Adding on a rarely-seen exceptional frontal-attack soldier like Qiu Yu, the second point was taken by their team within five minutes of the game. Quickly, they began organising an attack on the third point.

It was also within these short minutes that Qiu Yu found out that Mu Feibai was the type to let loose in his speech. His flirtatious remarks earlier was probably just a joke, as he liked to tease anyone he came across—

“Hey little cutie, you going shopping? There’s no cover on the main road, and you’re going along so slowly too. If I don’t snipe you, who else am I gonna snipe?”

“My dearest classmate Li Ji, consuming the nuclei you’ve hunted personally to revive yourself, is this “not letting fertile waters run into others’ fields”?” 

“I was just thinking, little Ghost, you should take a break, don’t get too tired. Jungling is Li Ji’s job. If you go into the jungle, is he just supposed to eat idle rice at home?”
