Chapter 67: Sincerity Is the Ultimate Trump Card-After the Breakup, My Song Went Viral(Cloth chewing)

At the same time.

Among the two million viewers in the livestream, many had been watching since the morning. Some sharp-eyed fans immediately recognized the two paparazzi shoving each other in the crowd.

“Holy crap?! Aren’t those the paparazzi who took a photo with Su Chen after getting a ride with him this morning? What are they doing now?”

“Do you think... is it possible they’re fighting over who gets to pay for Su Chen’s bill...?”

“...Wtf?! Hold on... I need a moment! Paparazzi fighting to pay for Su Chen?! What kind of situation is this?!”

This comment came from a newcomer to the stream, most of whom had been drawn in by Sweetheart Queen and hadn’t seen the morning’s broadcast. So they didn’t know—these two were no longer just ordinary paparazzi, but had been ‘CPU’d’ by Su Chen!

“Hahaha, has the world gone completely mad? Since when do paparazzi scramble to foot the bill for a celebrity?!”

“I’m begging for Su Chen’s UFO tutorial! To be honest, I’ve had a goddess I’ve loved since I was a kid, but she’s always ignored me...”

“I’ll go +1, and brother above, let’s discuss the details!”

“Enough talk, look! They’re about to fight!”

“My goodness! This is wild!”

...

“Su Chen, what’s going on?” Wang Bingling asked, puzzled.

“Someone’s fighting to pay for me. It’s nothing—actually, it’s perfect since our duo queue would have been a bit shaky.” Su Chen waved his hand, smiling helplessly as he spoke to Wang Bingling, then walked over to separate the two quarreling paparazzi.

He had to pull them apart; otherwise, they really might come to blows!

Upon hearing this, Wang Bingling froze for two seconds. But when she heard what Su Chen said to the two men, and saw the face of the paparazzo still wearing the rideshare driver’s vest, she understood everything at once.

Still, the sheer information overload left her reeling. Two paparazzi actually fighting to pay for Su Chen’s bill! And calling him “Brother Chen” at every turn! The most absurd part—judging by Su Chen’s words, they’d be queuing up for a five-man League of Legends game with the paparazzi later!

What kind of world was this?

At that moment, the barrage of comments in the livestream was exploding. First, paparazzi had acted as Su Chen’s free chauffeurs; now they were nearly fighting to cover his bill.

And it looked like, later on, there would be a segment where the five-man team for internet café gaming would need paparazzi to fill the roster!

Looking across the entire entertainment industry, such a feat was surely unprecedented!

Then again, Su Chen had managed to ‘CPU’ two paparazzi into his own people—what could possibly be more outrageous?

So it happened that, by afternoon, in a Wangyu internet café in Shashi, two paparazzi, a rookie, a top-tier celebrity, and... a cameraman were gathered.

Because they were one short, Su Chen had to drag the cameraman in.

These five formed the most bizarrely composed five-man League of Legends team in history.

“Su Chen, I... I really haven’t played this game much!” The cameraman, pushed into action, looked utterly helpless.

“It’s fine, didn’t you say earlier you used to play Chenghai 3C? It’s basically the same sort of game,” Su Chen replied with a smile and a wave.

“But... but it’s been ages since I played a computer game! I probably won’t even know which key to press...”

“Don’t worry, just pick a tanky support, build full defense, hold your ground in the bottom lane, and let me carry.”

“All right...”

And so, the five of them sat in a private room and started the game, with the livestream set up right in front of Su Chen’s screen.

The gameplay on Su Chen’s computer was streamed live, just like any other gaming streamer.

This familiar scene set the boys in the livestream ablaze, all shouting that they wanted to snipe Su Chen’s team.

But after just one game, there weren’t many left who dared challenge Su Chen.

Even the barrage of comments became simple—just constant exclamations of awe.

There was no helping it—Su Chen’s gameplay was simply too strong! Playing a mid-lane attack-speed Katarina, he repeatedly scored pentakills against the meta, pulling off moves usually only seen in highlight reels.

In fact, in his past life, Su Chen had reached rank one on the Korean server several times out of boredom, and nearly went pro, if not for his agent’s strong opposition. In the end, he only became a League of Legends ambassador.

In this life, whenever he had free time, he’d play a few games to relax, so his mechanics were still sharp.

In diamond-ranked games, whether in terms of skill or game sense, Su Chen utterly crushed his opponents.

“Congratulations, machine 007, on your pentakill.”

...

As everyone knew, pentakills earned free internet café time.

With Su Chen averaging three or four pentakills per game, the internet café owner was sweating bullets.

If Su Chen stayed a few days, would his café go bankrupt?

By the time they finished, it was already six or seven in the evening. Su Chen and the others left the café under the boss’s relieved gaze.

One had to admit, Shashi’s nightlife was truly vibrant.

Amidst towering buildings, barbecue stands and open-air diners dotted the streets, blending urban prosperity with the warmth of everyday life.

Many small vendors had already driven their customized carts into alleys and avenues throughout the city.

The five of them strolled down the street, reminiscing about the fun of their recent games, chatting and laughing—the atmosphere was genuinely harmonious.

Even the usually silent cameraman kept nodding along, his joy rekindled by the sheer fun of the game—a glimpse of his lost youth.

In that moment, all notions of celebrity or paparazzi seemed to fade away. They were, simply, a group of people enjoying life.

The mood in the livestream chat became equally warm and harmonious.

“Hahaha, this is too funny! Those two paparazzi spent all afternoon carried, and now they’re bragging about their own plays!”

“Right? Who’d have thought Su Chen was this good at games! Maybe he debuted so late because he was a pro gamer before?”

“Haha, honestly, I think it’s possible!”

“To be fair, seeing how Su Chen interacts with them, I get why the paparazzi warmed up to him.”

“As if that wasn’t obvious—Su Chen genuinely treats them as friends! Sincerity really is the ultimate weapon!”

“Yeah, you have to admit, Su Chen is such a good guy. He doesn’t even look down on paparazzi—not like any celebrity I’ve seen.”

“Haha! Is anything Su Chen did today what a normal celebrity would do? I’m already a fan!”

“I really wish there were more down-to-earth stars like Su Chen in our entertainment industry. It’s just so refreshing to watch.”

“Alas, Su Chen doesn’t have a company backing him and lacks resources. Maybe he’ll be popular for a while, but it won’t last.”

“Yeah, no matter how decent you are, you need real capital behind you...”
