Chapter 93: A Large Force of Allies Is Arriving on the Battlefield

Liang Xiaoyu was a devoted fan of Lin Zijin. She had liked her for three years, and she still did.

Three months earlier, when Lin Zijin had left the Legendary squad and vanished from public view for a time, Liang Xiaoyu had been terribly disappointed, because she had thought she would never see her again.

Unexpectedly, just one month ago, Lin Zijin appeared once more, and every night she streamed live on Tomato TV.

For a fan, being able to see an idol every day, even if she did nothing at all, was already a kind of pleasure in itself.

And during that month, Liang Xiaoyu had also come across someone especially interesting: Smooth-Talker.

Anyone who had stayed long in Lin Zijin’s livestream knew Smooth-Talker.

He was funny. Sometimes witty, sometimes ridiculous, sometimes outrageously cheeky and shameless, yet somehow possessed of an indescribable charm that made him feel easy to approach.

For many people, besides watching Lin Zijin’s stream every day, their next favorite thing was chatting with Smooth-Talker. Talking with him was usually relaxed and happy, able to make people lower all their guard and speak of their troubles without the slightest worry, or share their joy without restraint.

Liang Xiaoyu was no exception.

Though she did not talk with Smooth-Talker very often, she loved watching him boast and banter with others.

One could say that aside from being a die-hard fan of Lin Zijin, Liang Xiaoyu was also one of Smooth-Talker’s little admirers.

And she was not the only one. Quite a lot of people were.

Smooth-Talker was their leader.

However, although he was well liked and held great prestige, he had no airs about him. Even so, in their hearts, Smooth-Talker remained mysterious.

Almost no one knew who he really was.

People asked, but he never said.

Privately, many guessed at what kind of background Smooth-Talker might have.

Yet no one had ever been able to give a definite answer.

The impression everyone had of Smooth-Talker was that he was rich, approachable, humorous, and interesting... truly a person impossible not to be curious about.

Everyone who liked Smooth-Talker was full of curiosity about him.

Liang Xiaoyu was naturally among them.

So when Liang Xiaoyu spotted Smooth-Talker during the livestream of Tianhai University’s battle royale finals, her eyes lit up.

It seemed she had uncovered something extraordinary.

She seemed to have vaguely guessed a sliver of Smooth-Talker’s identity.

She had heard before that Tianhai University’s campus battle royale tournament could only be entered by students of the school.

In other words, Smooth-Talker was a student at Tianhai University?

At that thought, Liang Xiaoyu suddenly grew excited.

So Smooth-Talker was actually at the same school as her; they were alumni of the same university.

The mysterious Smooth-Talker, whose identity had never been discovered by anyone, had been found by her first?

Liang Xiaoyu was thrilled, as though she had discovered a new continent. If word of this got out, it would absolutely be explosive news.

She could hardly wait. Glancing again at the livestream, she opened another webpage and prepared to enter Lin Zijin’s stream to tell everyone about this discovery.

In truth, Liang Xiaoyu’s guess was not entirely correct.

She had only half guessed right. Yang Hao was indeed a student of that school, but he had already graduated.

Liang Xiaoyu had overlooked the fact that Tianhai University’s battle royale tournament also allowed outside reinforcements, but that did not hinder her actions.

By then, she had already opened Lin Zijin’s livestream.

Lin Zijin was streaming as well. The game had clearly only just begun not long ago. Seeing Lin Zijin decisively kill another player in the game, Liang Xiaoyu smiled. As expected of her idol, her strength was truly formidable.

On the screen, a wave of praise quickly flooded in, and cries of "666" rose one after another.

Liang Xiaoyu paid those no mind. Among the many viewers in the livestream, she directly sought out the moderators.

There were two moderators in Lin Zijin’s room. Smooth-Talker was not online, so naturally the one Liang Xiaoyu contacted was the other.

"Xiaoyu, what is it?"

The other moderator was named Butterfly, and she was clearly very familiar with Liang Xiaoyu. After receiving Liang Xiaoyu’s private message, she replied quickly.

"Sister Butterfly, I saw Smooth-Talker!" Seeing the moderator’s reply, Liang Xiaoyu was a little excited.

"????"

The other side did not quite understand.

"I just suddenly realized that Smooth-Talker is actually a student at our school." Seeing the string of question marks Butterfly sent back, Liang Xiaoyu grew anxious.

"How do you know?" Butterfly asked, curious.

Liang Xiaoyu was excited as she typed back, "Our school is holding a battle royale tournament today, and Smooth-Talker took part too. If you don’t believe me, go take a look. The battle royale match at our school is being livestreamed right now on Tomato TV as well. Just search for it, and you’ll find it."

Seeing Liang Xiaoyu’s answer, Butterfly, half convinced and half doubtful, found the livestream room for Tianhai University’s battle royale finals and clicked in.

Coincidentally, this was the moment when the fighting on campus was at its fiercest, and the livestream image happened to be focused here.

Most importantly, Yang Hao and the others were fighting far too fiercely, racking up kills again and again.

Thus, Butterfly, who had just entered the stream, very quickly found Yang Hao’s figure, as well as Yao Cheng, Zhu Ziran, and the others, whose faces she remembered vividly.

At that, she believed it.

So Smooth-Talker really was a student at Tianhai University.

That discovery also stirred her quite a bit.

Immediately, she too became eager, unable to resist wanting to tell everyone else this fact.

After replying to Liang Xiaoyu, Butterfly swiftly sprang into action.

In Lin Zijin’s livestream, using her moderator privileges, she turned on a full-room mute.

The wall of comments that had filled the screen vanished in an instant.

"What the hell, what’s going on?"

"Butterfly, are you having a fit?"

"Damn it, I was just about to post a comment and suddenly couldn’t. So it was you causing trouble."

"Quit messing around and turn off the mute. We need to cheer for the goddess!"

The viewers in front of the stream discovered that the normally working comment function had suddenly stopped, and many began to complain under their breath.

However.

Soon after, when they saw the flood of messages Butterfly posted in the room, they were all stunned.

"Seriously? Smooth-Talker is a student at Tianhai University?"

"Damn, that can’t be true, can it?"

"I’m also a student at Tianhai University. How come I don’t know this?"

"Is this a lie? I don’t believe it."

The audience was shocked and uncertain. When Butterfly disabled the full-room mute, they all voiced their opinions.

"It’s true. Smooth-Talker is currently taking part in Tianhai University’s battle royale tournament. It’s being streamed live online too, and it’s also on Tomato TV."

Seeing that some people still did not believe her, Butterfly threw out another explosive piece of news.

"The Tianhai University battle royale finals seem to be happening right around now too. I’m from the literature department at Tianhai University."

"Really? I’m going to check!"

"Why keep doubting it? Just look and you’ll know."

"Right, I’m going to take a look!"

"I’m going too!"

"I’ll check as well!"

When Butterfly dropped that piece of information, many people who frequently interacted with Smooth-Talker were immediately tempted.

At once, they all went to the Tomato TV website and searched for the livestream room of Tianhai University’s battle royale finals.
