“F*ck! Potato, you betrayed me?” exclaimed Xiang in disbelief, as though experiencing betrayal from a trusted friend.

On the screen, the hero fell, accompanied by a deep howl, unwilling to accept defeat.

“Fear not, I will avenge you!” roared Potato, rushing all by himself into the five-man gank.

With that, he delivered a double kill to the opponents.

“Lil’ Gen, I told you not to pick Shadow Fiend. This hero is squishy. It’s useless,” explained Xiang to the only surviving Lil’ Gen.

“I’ve seen Y-God’s live stream. Shadow Fiend is very strong.”

“He’s a professional, how can you compare?”

“Don’t worry, with the both of you dead, I will not live on in shame! Face your death!” Lil’ Gen roared. Seeking justice, he similarly rushed in and fed the opponents.

“You guys watched Y-God’s live streams?” Ye Lingchen’s interest was piqued.

Potato instantly replied, “It’s the God of gods, we must watch it! Lil’ Gen and I descended into this pit that is Dota due to our burning passion after watching his live stream.”

“That’s right, Y-God playing Shadow Fiend was super cool!”

“Most of Y-God’s Shadow Fiend plays made it into TOP10, and it had exceeded 10 million views!” Xiang further explained.

Lil’ Gen sighed regretfully, “Unfortunately Y-God had not streamed for a while now. I miss him so.”

Ye Lingchen nodded, feeling smug. He did not expect that he would be rather famous in the field of live streaming.

Right at that moment, the screen displayed a row of red messages. [Opposite is a premade team of three right? Noob!]

The message was from an opponent named [Overbearing Might]

“F*ck, it’s a provocation! This is directly provoking us!”

“Can this be tolerated? No way!”

“Screw him! I’ll stalk and hunt him!”

The three roommates’ blood boiled, hunting for the opponent while engaging in a verbal battle with the opposing team.

However, their skills were just too horrible. Not only have they failed to kill any enemies, they were also instead slaughtered by the opposing team multiple times, delivering multiple kill counts to their opponents.

[Trash, you’re too noob! Come kill me!] The opposing team continued taunting in an extremely arrogant manner.

“F*ck, I’ll AFK and flame him!” Lil’ Gen decided to just drop the game and slammed away on the keyboard.

Potato and Xiang were triggered by the opposing team as well, but their skills were not good enough, lowering their morale.

[You guys are losing for sure. Just leave the game, why bother continuing the game?!] Overbearing Might tormented them endlessly.

“Lil’ Gen, let me take over,” Ye Lingchen voiced up.

“You play Dota too?” The three roommates turned their gaze on Ye Lingchen.

Ye Lingchen nodded, then said in a domineering tone, “Do not worry, I will make him call me daddy!”

“Alright, you give it a go!”

Lil’ Gen immediately gave up his seat.

Ye Lingchen did not hurry to start playing but instead started typing.

[Opposing team, do you believe that I can make you call me daddy?]

[F*ck you trash, F*ck your mother!]

[How about this, if I kill you ten times, will you call me daddy?]

Ye Lingchen continued typing

[With your level of skill? I can handle all three of you!]

Lil’ Gen immediately cheered, “Ye’zi, that’s freaking domineering! That’s the spirit we need.”

Ye Lingchen stopped typing and began playing his Shadow Fiend.

The opponents were no doubt triggered by Ye Lingchen’s words as they started to stalk Shadow Fiend.

However, this Shadow Fiend was like a fish in water, avoiding traps, and sometimes even suppressing the opponent’s combat effectiveness.

Shadow Fiend was falling behind in terms of equipment, but Ye Lingchen did not fight them head-on. Instead, he was farming from jungle area and lane creeps.

Shadow Fiend had Shadowraze, which was an AoE attack, enabling him to push lanes and farm with ease

As for Potato and Xiang, they were able to prepare in advance to avoid enemy ganks due to Ye Lingchen’s reminders.

Ye Lingchen’s playing also began playing in a devious manner. He had dragged on for 10 minutes, but only managed six kills.

The opponents were unable to handle him, getting more impatient as time passed.

By that time, Shadow Fiend’s equipment was starting to show signs of improvement.

The first major item was Shadow Blade.

Shadow Blade: Turns the hero invisible for a duration of 15 seconds.

He took a quick glance at the lanes, Overbearing Might was going to the lower lane.

Ye Lingchen directly teleported over, activated Shadow Blade and simply walked up to Overbearing Might’s side.

Shadow Fiend’s body started to shake, channeling a spell!

Ulti, Requiem of Souls!

Whoosh!

The moment Shadow Fiend revealed himself, Overbearing Might was instantly killed!

Ye Lingchen sent an [?] over to the opponent.

Potato and Xiang mimicked his actions, also sent over a [?].

This time, the opposing team was silent.

“F*ck, Ye’zi you’re good! That skill, that map awareness, you’re an absolute pro!” exclaimed Xiang, respectful towards Ye Lingchen.

“That’s too amazing! This will be fun in the future. Our dorm has a God as well now!”

“Oh great God, please take my knee!”

Their morale skyrocketed.

Following that, Ye Lingchen kept stalking Overbearing Might. As long as the chance presented itself, he would hunt him down.

Even in a team fight, Ye Lingchen would still take Overbearing Might out first.

In the end, Overbearing Might developed PTSD, not daring to show his face at all.

On the ninth death of Overbearing Might, he finally broke from the humiliation and chose to leave the game.

“Lucky this guy left early, or else he would have to call us daddy! Hahahaha…”

Laughter broke out inside the dorm, pleasing them to no end.

“Oh right. Ye’zi you’re new here. Let me show you something,” said Potato mysteriously.

Having said that, he quit the game and opened his browser.

It was the Peking University forum’s main page.

It was similar to Tieba 1[1]. Within were posts from Peking University’s students. It even had the function for one to add friends and chat.

Ye Lingchen even saw female students posting ads to get friends, followed by a flattering picture.

“This is Peking University’s forum. If any big news happens within campus, you will get wind of it here first,” explained Lil’ Gen.

Potato gave Ye Lingchen a creepy smile, “Most importantly, they track the development of beautiful girls here! Class belle, department belle, or random jokes1. You can get all their information here!”

“Hahaha, to be honest, I have already saved the pictures of all the notable beauties of our school in my phone,” Xiang smiled smugly.

The three cattle were getting hyped while discussing the topic, salivating like no tomorrow. To be near their goddess was the dream of all otaku’s.

Ye Lingchen was speechless.

“F*ck, what’s this post? It’s on the top search list in an instant!”

“Unexpected discovery of campus belle’s boyfriend, suspected of living together!?”

“No way, this big news?”

He immediately clicked on the link. The first that appeared was a big picture. Within it was the closeup of Li Muxue.

Prideful, pure, beautiful, beyond words.

“Our goddess is beautiful! This news must be fake! I won’t believe it!” said Lil’ Gen adamantly.

“I think so too. This type of prideful goddess should not be interested in a guy,” Potato added with a nod.

Yet, the next photo was one of Li Muxue hugging a man intimately, or so it seems.

Ye Lingchen heard the imaginary sound of three hearts breaking into pieces.

Scrolling downwards, there was a picture of that man kissing Li Muxue.

Apart from that, there were commentaries too, retelling the incident that happened at the main gate with all sorts of embellishments. In the end, Ye Lingchen’s statement of “I’ve slept with her” was written with a huge bold red font.

The picture was taken in a hurry so the man’s appearance was not clear.

“Where did this beast come from? A good cabbage was taken away by a pig just like that?” Xiang roared in despair.

“Sigh, it’s too bad that I did not get to know my goddess earlier. Otherwise, with my appearance and talents, I wouldn’t have let someone lay claim to her before I did.”

Potato was deep in self-pity but suddenly took a peek at Ye Lingchen who stood calmly there. He was stupefied, “Eh? Why does this person’s figure look slightly similar to Ye’zi?”

“Mmm?”

The three went into silence, looking back and forth between the picture and Ye Lingchen.

Only

Under such a comparison, their eyes almost popped out at the realization.

“F*ck, the facial structure is the same, even the clothes are the same!”

“Ye’zi, this person… is that you?”

“Er… I think it’s me.” Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose.

“F*ck! This is AMAZING!”

“Ye’zi, you have brought glory to our dorm. You’re f*cking amazing…”

“The role model of our generation, inspiration for all lechers!”

The three roommates gasped, all stood up together and bowed with their fist in front of their chest, “Oh Saint of Love from above, please receive my humble greeting.”
