Chapter 101: My Smooth-Talking Brother Could Never Be That Handsome

Tenhai University, Esports Club.

On the second floor, at the competition venue, most of the teams that participated in the finals had already left. Only the teams that ranked within the top ten remained.

They were about to go onstage for the upcoming awards ceremony.

At the same time, they needed to prepare for the ceremony ahead.

Yang Hao and his three teammates did not mingle with the other teams; instead, they found a corner to sit quietly.

Meanwhile, the others gathered in small groups, discussing the events of the evening.

Obviously, they had learned about the unexpected incident during the live broadcast and realized that they had just played a match watched by millions—a thrilling experience none of them had ever had before.

Many people kept casting curious glances toward Yang Hao and his group in the corner.

Some had heard rumors that the famous "Huyou Ge"—the legendary trickster—was among those four.

Having caught wind of what happened tonight, they had also heard stories about Huyou Ge, which made them all the more intrigued by Yang Hao and his team.

However, since very few people present actually knew them, no one dared to approach and strike up a conversation.

But there were exceptions.

Zhou Chen and Shen Muyan, who had previous encounters with Yang Hao, unhesitatingly walked over to their corner.

Shen Muyan came alone, while Zhou Chen was accompanied by his three teammates.

“I’ll beat you next time!” Shen Muyan stood in front of Yang Hao, glanced over them with a faint look, uttered those words coolly, and then walked straight out.

Yang Hao was momentarily stunned, but inside, he felt little emotion.

“Oh, so casual, just leaving like that? No interest in the prize money?” Yao Cheng frowned, watching Shen Muyan head toward the exit.

It was worth noting that although Shen Muyan was eliminated by Zhou Chen in the final circle, his prior kill points were higher than Zhou Chen’s team, securing him second place in the competition.

Thanks to the university’s attention, the original prize money for second place—20,000—had been raised to 30,000.

Was he really just going to forfeit 30,000 like that?

At that moment, Zhou Chen chuckled beside them and said, “Haha, no way he’d give it up. Didn’t you see his teammates are still there?”

Following Zhou Chen’s gesture, Yang Hao and the others indeed saw Shen Muyan’s three teammates standing firm, showing no sign of leaving.

“That guy’s always like that—full of hot air. It’s just that since he didn’t get first place and I killed him in the final circle, he feels too embarrassed to stay for the ceremony,” Zhou Chen said with a smile.

Before the match, Shen Muyan had boasted fiercely that if he won first place, he would strut around arrogantly and shame us all. But now…

Zhou Chen didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood and burst out laughing.

“Brother Yang, thanks for what happened today!” Zhou Chen’s smile faded as he became serious.

“Heh, thanks for what? For snatching your first place?” Yang Hao teased with a grin.

Zhou Chen smiled but said no more.

He knew they understood him well.

If Yang Hao hadn’t shown up this time, and they faced Shen Muyan and the Tenhai Normal University team alone, Zhou Chen wasn’t confident.

No matter which of those two teams had won the chicken dinner championship, the reputation of Tenhai University’s Esports Club would have been utterly ruined.

Slap in the face!

More than the victory itself, their priority was the honor of their club.

On the first floor, the broadcast hall.

Part of the crowd had already been cleared out in advance. With the staff rushing to prepare, a large red backdrop had been hung, filling the previously empty space with equipment and decorations.

Several cameras were already set up around the hall, and more people were arriving as staff busily maintained order.

Soon, with the preparations complete and several university officials present, the impromptu awards ceremony was about to begin.

“It’s starting! It’s starting!”

“We’ve been waiting for a while. The awards ceremony is finally beginning.”

“Hahaha, come out! Huyou Ge!”

“Show me your true face!”

“Eeee, my Huyou Ge, I’m finally going to see you!”

After watching some match replays, the live stream quickly switched to the broadcast hall on the first floor of Tenhai University’s Esports Club.

Excited viewers eagerly awaited the appearance of the legendary Huyou Ge.

At last, was the moment to meet the famed trickster at hand?

The hosts appeared on screen, taking up microphones to deliver a brief introduction.

The ceremony was hosted by a man and a woman, both of whom were quite attractive—no surprise, given the university’s standards.

The moment the two hosts appeared, the students at the venue erupted in cheers, and viewers watching online flooded the chat with comments.

“Oh, this lady is pretty!”

“So beautiful! The saying that Tenhai University produces beauties is true.”

“The male host is handsome too!”

“No, no, I want to see Huyou Ge!”

“Come out, Huyou Ge!”

Amidst the barrage of comments, the hosts finished their opening remarks and handed the microphone to a university official to deliver a speech.

“Ugh, seriously? An award ceremony and they’re this long-winded?”

“Boring to death. If it weren’t for Huyou Ge, who’d watch this?”

“True, but I’m here for Windchaser Young Master.”

“Me too…”

“Hehe, I want to see what the henpecked Pighead Brother looks like.”

Most of the officials’ speeches were filled with surface-level platitudes—devoid of substance. But the viewers, waiting for Huyou Ge, had no choice but to endure.

Finally, the officials stepped down, and it was time for the awards.

The ceremony started from the tenth place, and since Yang Hao’s team had won first place, they would be the grand finale.

The crowd had to wait a little longer to see Yang Hao.

Fortunately, the teams from tenth to fourth place were not the main focus, and the ceremony quickly reached third place.

Zhou Chen’s team went up to receive their award, which was a grand affair—presented by an official who offered encouraging words.

As for the prize money, it would be collected after the event; the awards did not visibly include cash, as that would appear too vulgar.

After the second-place team received their awards, the long-anticipated moment finally came.

“Now, please welcome the first-place team of this competition to the stage for their award!” The host’s elegant voice announced, sending the crowd both onsite and online into a frenzy.

Utter excitement!

After so much waiting, they finally reached the crucial moment.

The dawn of victory was about to break!

However...

When the award recipients appeared, countless eyes widened in shock.

The entire venue trembled with surprise!

“Wow, so handsome!”

“Wait, there’s only one person?”

“Is this Huyou Ge?”

“No way, this can’t be Huyou Ge!”

“My Huyou Ge can’t be this handsome!”

“Hmph, indeed...”
