LIGHTNOVELSTORY chapter 99
Chapter 99: Don’t Speak Too Full of Yourself (1/2)
This move was seen by the remaining viewers in Zhou Yongliang’s live stream, and they ridiculed him.
“Such a pitiful host, wanting to invite someone to play a game, only to be deleted as a friend, what a bad start.”
“I’m dying of laughter, Ark didn’t give any face to the host at all!”
“I don’t know why, but I feel like the host has a sense of powerlessness right now, like an eighty-year-old granny watering the vegetables, only to realize after finishing that it’s someone else’s vegetable patch.”
What was usually a normal barrage of comments now seemed so glaring to Zhou Yongliang.
Being rejected and deleted as a friend in front of so many people was a huge embarrassment.
The hosts who were clamoring to play the team competitive game also sent messages one after another.
“How’s it going? Has Ark finished that game yet?”
“Is that kid Ark scared, not daring to come?”
“Bro Liang, hurry and pull him in, my hands are itching to beat him up!”
Zhou Yongliang was so angry he sent a voice message in the group, telling them what had just happened.
“He deleted me, the damn leg of a grandma!”
“I’ll go to his live stream and call him out, Xiaowei, you invite him later.”
After saying that, Zhou Yongliang took out his phone, found Ark’s live stream, and went straight in.
Many spectators also flocked to see the commotion, with some even sending bullet comments like “Fight, fight!”
Xingchen-Xiaoliang: Brother Zhou, are you really going to snub me like this? To think inviting you for a game requires such an effort, it seems I’ve overestimated myself as your junior.
Zhou Yongliang’s words were quite artistic, sarcastically mocking Fang Zhou for putting on airs like a tyrant, and for his meager popularity, hardly worthy of posturing in his presence.
His comment stood out, and Fang Zhou noticed it immediately.
Raising an eyebrow, he wasn’t surprised by Zhou Yongliang’s direct provocation in his live stream.
The guy was known for being easily agitated, acting without thinking, always impulsive.
If it weren’t for Zhou Papi backing him up, he would have lost his position as a host long ago.
Now that someone had come knocking, seeking humiliation, Fang Zhou certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity.
He chuckled, maneuvering his game character to lie low on the rooftop, scanning the surroundings, and casually replied, “You, Xiaoliang, are a busy man. To play a game with you, I’d probably have to wait in line for a week.”
That was exactly what Zhou Yongliang had said before.
At that time, Fang Zhou just wanted to team up with a few hosts from his guild for a game, hoping to regain some popularity.
But Zhou Yongliang had flatly refused him, leaving behind the words, “Play a game with you? That’s hardly feasible. You’d have to queue up, probably for a week.”
Now, Fang Zhou returned those words to him, unchanged.
Stung by the retort, Zhou Yongliang felt increasingly displeased, his words losing their earlier politeness.
Xingchen-Xiaoliang: Are you afraid to play against me because you might lose face? If so, I can understand, little brother.
Fang Zhou almost laughed, bluntly asking, “Who gave you the courage to say that? Fish Leong?”
Xingchen-Xiaoliang: If not, why are you afraid to accept the challenge? Are you even a man?
At this moment, the live stream’s audience had shifted their attention from the game to the bullet comments.
They spoke up one after another: “Host, since he’s so keen on humiliating himself, just accept it!”
“Yeah, I’ve been annoyed by Xiaoliang for a while now, his constant swearing in the game is worse than sewer water!”
“Take him down! We support you! Brothers, let’s send gifts! Charge!”
99 Don’t Speak Too Soon (2/2)
Fang Zhou took note of all these comments, thinking: He didn’t want to bother with a troublemaker like Zhou Yongliang, but now that he had come to him…
It would be bad not to oblige him, right?
He cleared his throat with a light cough, replying with a cold laugh, “Playing against you isn’t out of the question, but since it’s a battle, there should be a stake.”
Xingchen-Xiaoliang: What stake do you want?
Fang Zhou clicked his mouse nonchalantly, “Simple. If you lose, you’ll hang my name in your live stream, just a simple ‘Fang Zhou is better than me,’ for a week.”
Zhou Yongliang’s pupils dilated for a moment, not expecting such a demand.
Wasn’t this equivalent to trampling their faces into the ground?
As a game streamer, admitting someone else is better than you, would they still have a place in the industry?
He was about to refuse, but Fangzhou, as if he could read his mind, preemptively said, “If you can’t handle the game, then stop barking in my live stream. There are no bones for you here.”
Zhou Yongliang couldn’t stand such words and immediately agreed.
Xingchen-Xiaoliang: Fine! If you lose, you must carry my name too!
Seeing his provocation worked, Fangzhou let out a pleased chuckle.
“I won’t lose.”
Such confident and complacent words, if said by anyone else, would likely be mocked by the audience.
But coming from Fangzhou, they seemed so fitting.
Most of those tuning into the live stream at this hour were from the gaming community, many of whom had heard of Fangzhou’s reputation.
Many viewers truly believed that Fangzhou wasn’t being arrogant, he was just stating the truth at his level of skill.
Zhou Yongliang, watching the live stream on his phone, coldly replied.
“Don’t be too full of yourself. This is a competitive game, remember to bring your rich teammate.”
After saying that, he left the live stream, not giving Fangzhou or the audience a chance to react.
Zhou Yongliang was betting on Meichuan Chuan not being good at games, which is why he insisted Fangzhou team up with her.
An extra burden on the enemy team meant a higher chance of victory for them.
If Fangzhou didn’t bring the rich lady along, the trouble would be his, not Zhou’s.
Just thinking of Fangzhou being abandoned by his sponsor almost made Zhou burst into laughter.
Meichuan Chuan also saw the whole process of Zhou Yongliang’s provocation and felt a bit worried.
“Maybe I shouldn’t go, you should find some strong teammates.”
Mainly because the people from the Xingchen Guild seemed to have a bit of fame in the gaming circle, and she would definitely hold them back in the game.
Meichuan Chuan didn’t want to become a hindrance.
But Fangzhou gently reassured her, “It’s okay, you haven’t played the team competition mode yet, have you?”
“Let me take you through it, it’s quite interesting.”
He comforted Meichuan Chuan, telling her not to worry, that even with just three people, they could still make the opponents flee in disarray.
Meichuan Chuan was suddenly tempted.
“Ah? Then maybe I’ll just hide during the game, at least I won’t be feeding, hehehe.”
Fangzhou laughed as he dialed Li Siming’s number.
“Hey? Got a friend to log in, let’s go beat the underdogs.”
