On the way home, Shi Yao’s phone remained perfectly silent.
It wasn’t until she reached her house that it started to ring— ding dong!
Shi Yao quickly took out her phone, thinking that Lin Jiage had replied to her message. What appeared before her eyes was an event notification instead: 11 p.m. — Adonis’s Live Stream .
Adonis, or in other words, Shi Yao’s idol.
Most females would choose to idolize movie stars or popular singers. Shi Yao’s idol was currently an eSports player from the same country, Legend.
Just like his name, Legend was a person whose existence was a legend in the eSports field.
Three years ago, he had come into public view as the leader of AE Team and clinched the top spot at the CF National Championship 1 .
AE was a brand-new team back then, but due to his efforts, the team managed to make its mark in the eSports scene during that battle.
On the eighth month of the same year, Legend dominated the CF Premier League in New York, and thus started his legendary journey.
To date, AE Team had managed to win the championship for three consecutive years under his leadership, advancing from their amateur status into a premier team. At the same time, he had also evolved from an amateur into the current Sniping Emperor, Demon King, L God, and, not to mention, Legend.
The initial reason why others came to call him Legend was due to his IGN 2 , but to date, the name had instead come to represent the astounding accomplishments he had achieved in the eSports field, as well as the mystery surrounding his appearance.
In the past three years, regardless of where and when, but as long as he came into public view, he would always be equipped with a hat and a mask.
As such, his information was usually displayed in such a manner: Legend, male. Real name unknown. Voice unknown. Height unknown. Appearance unknown. Age unknown. Sexual orientation unknown .
On top of that, Legend rarely did live streams. The reason why he was doing it this time around was because of TX 3 , who had recently launched a new cellphone game known as “PlayerUnknown’s Battleground”. The company had spent a great deal of money inviting him to do a live stream to help advertise the game.
“PlayerUnknown’s Battleground”, also commonly known as Chicken Dinner 4, had three game modes: Solo, Duo, and Squad.
The rules of the game were simple. A hundred players would start off flying a plane across the map, and each player could choose any location he wished to jump and parachute down to. After some time, a safe zone would be marked off, and areas beyond the safe zone, otherwise known as the blue zone, would be shrouded with poisonous gas 5 . If you failed to evacuate from the blue zone in time, you’d die from the poison.
All in all, the main maneuvers in the game were to parachute, gear up, kill the other players, and escape from the blue zone. The main goal was to defeat all the players aside from one’s allies, reach the safe zone, and survive to the very end.
In less than ten minutes, Legend’s live stream had already exceeded a million viewers.
Like always, Legend neither revealed his face nor spoke during the live stream, only playing the game for the entire duration. Even so, messages barraged the screen relentlessly, and Shi Yao held onto her phone tightly, captivated by what she saw.
Legend’s live stream ended in less than an hour. Shi Yao left the live streaming channel reluctantly, still absorbed in what she’d just seen. She savored a few exciting portions of Legend’s live stream for a moment before grabbing her phone excitedly and downloading “PlayerUnknown’s Battleground”.
Even though Shi Yao had already understood the gist of the game through Legend’s live stream, she still couldn’t dominate the battlefield like Legend did.
In the first round, just a second after landing on the ground, she was killed by a pistol.
In the second round, five seconds after landing on the ground, Shi Yao was punched to death by another player.
In the third round, Shi Yao landed in the water, and before she could swim to shore, she was knocked out by a boat.
Similar events happened in the fourth round, fifth round… In just twenty minutes, while Legend would still be in the middle of a round, Shi Yao had already jumped off the plane nine times.
Not only did she fail to dominate the battlefield like Legend, but she was also being dominated by other players in the game!
