Chapter 15
Sometimes, Qiao
Yanzhou doubts his own intelligence. Hell, even a birdbrain is
smarter than him!
Especially
since he’s currently digging his own grave to spread happiness to
the world, by playing a horror game in the middle of the night
instead of sleeping!
Now, Qiao Yanzhou
doesn’t feel that the night is long and lonesome anymore, for it
seems like he can sense “beings” hiding under his bed, standing
behind him, floating outside the window, walking along the corridor…
Jesus, they’re everywhere!
If only they were
real people. If they’re something else… Oh Lord, how am I gonna
survive the night?!
But hey...aliens
are people too, right?
Qiao Yanzhou isn't
even speaking in a coherent manner anymore, as his perturbed mind
conjures up one absurd scenario after the other.'
“Tell me, if I
open this door and a monster jumps on me… Should I first save my
mum or girlfriend?”
Even his viewers are
dumbfounded now.
Playing “Outlast”
typically takes about two hours, but since Qiao Yanzhou has chosen
the easy mode, as long as he doesn’t lose his way or get stuck
completing one of the tasks, he would be able to complete the game in
an hour and a half.
However, his viewers
can already sense that this easy mode is transforming into “hell
mode” for Qiao Yanzhou due to his overactive imagination.
Nope, it’s
impossible for him not to lose his way in this game.
“Why can’t this
creepy guy stop chasing me?! Ohmygod, where should I go? WHERE SHOULD
I GO?! Wasn’t I just here just a while ago?! SHIT, I LOST MY WAY!!”
Qiao Yanzhou screams as his character walks around in the asylum like
a headless chicken while holding up the camera.
His mental condition
seems to be in a worse state than the crazy freak chasing right
behind him with a weapon.
“Damn, a dead end
again?!” For the sixth time, Qiao Yanzhou has unknowingly come to
that dead end. It’s always the same dead end, the same scene, the
same world, and the same dream…
Resigning himself to
his fate, Qiao Yanzhou turns around before dashing towards the
monster, saying, “Motherfucker, take my camera!”
Like a fearless
hero, or so it seems.
Lifting him up by
the neck, the monster kills him effortlessly by hurling him onto the
ground before he could even do anything.
Anonymous702:
MISSION FAILED x6
Anonymous1533:
poor guy working overtime to count the number of times he’s failed
Anonymous241:
what a noob but cute streamer
Qiao Yanzhou feels
defeated.
Only after being
stuck at this part of the game for ten minutes does he realize that
there is a space above the dead end he can access.
“Jesus, I’m so
stupid!” Qiao Yanzhou slaps the table angrily.
After finally making
progress in the game, his heart rate and blood pressure ease
slightly.
Qiao Yanzhou
composes himself for a moment before speaking to his viewers.
“It’s been half
an hour already. Let’s call it a day guys.”
His viewers are, of
course, rioting. But Qiao Yanzhou can’t bring himself to continue
any further. He imagines that if he faints due to shock, those
“beings” underneath his bed, outside the window, behind him and
in the corridor won’t be able to help to call 911.
So, he decides to
disregard his dissatisfied viewers and leave like a willful princess.
Qiao Yanzhou calms
himself down before opening his streaming dashboard, something he
always does after he finishes streaming. Even before he started to
stream the horror game, he had had a feeling that there would have
been a sharp spike in the number of viewers.
And sure enough,
there is an increase of five to six hundred viewers in just one
night, and he even received twice the amount of gifts as usual!
If not for his weak
heart, Qiao Yanzhou would seriously consider streaming horror games
full time to become a millionaire overnight.
It’s a pity he’s
really not the sort who sacrifices his life for money. Even with
endless wealth, a person can only live once.
This has always been
his life’s motto.
After switching off
his computer, Qiao Yanzhou is still a little shaken but feels good
overall, since he has painstakingly made some good money.
He opens Weibo and
posts a new status:
“Digging my own
grave by choosing to play a horror game, but I made it past 30mins!
GO EG! [/doge]”
As he soaps himself
up, he naively thinks that he can call it a day.
It’s already one
in the morning after his shower, and Qiao Yanzhou lies on his bed
after sloppily blow-drying his hair.
His intentions are
to browse on his phone for a while before sleeping, but to his
surprise, there are a total of ten miss calls from Liang Dong!
What the hell…
Qiao Yanzhou furrows
his brows as he makes a call back.
They answer the call
almost immediately.
“OH
MY LORD!”
“Huh?” Qiao
Yanzhou didn’t know he has been promoted to being a divine being in
his friend’s heart after not seeing him for just a few days. But he
continues naturally, “It’s okay my son, just ‘daddy’ will
do.”
“WHY DID SILER
LIKE YOUR POST?!” Liang Dong ignores Qiao Yanzhou and goes straight
to the point.
“My Weibo post?”
From his tone, Qiao Yanzhou doesn’t think Liang Dong is joking and
opens Weibo immediately.
However, he doesn’t
see anything other than his followers sharing and discussing
screenshots of him freaking out while playing the game. His face is
now almost red with embarrassment.
“Idiot, you’re
kidding me right? Where’s the like from Sil….” Before Qiao
Yanzhou can finish the sentence, he notices one of the comments are
different from the rest.
GuZiXings_Darling:
SILER JUST LIKED HIS POST AND UNLIKED IT, ANYONE SAW THAT?!!
There are more than
ten replies to that comment, and Qiao Yanzhou hopes that he’s not
on a prank show or something.
He anxiously expands
the thread.
Egirl_bunny: omg
I SAW IT! And it was cancelled in a flash! As expected from our Siler
and his quick reflexes!
MarryMeSiler:
yeah I wanted to screenshot that but was too late!!
TwoCats: im sure
these memes have subdued even Siler-sama! He couldn’t control
himself and liked the post lol
QiChen_TeachMe:
Zhou-zhou is ToothCat’s streamer and EG is owned by ToothCat, it’s
perfectly normal for Siler to follow him
Seriously? These
people talk so much but none of them actually captured the evidence
of Siler liking my post.
Qiao Yanzhou’s
nerves are killing him.
“Hey! Why’ve you
gone quiet suddenly!?” Liang Dong is getting anxious too, on the
other end of the phone.
“Do you have a
screenshot of it?” Qiao Yanzhou says after calming himself down. He
wants to conceal his overwhelming emotions as Liang Dong may tease
him by not showing him the screenshot even if he has it.
“Nope, Siler
unliked it immediately.” Qiao Yanzhou knows that Liang Dong is not
hiding anything from him as he can hear the disappointment in his
voice.
But if Liang Dong
and his followers aren’t imagining things, why did Siler like his
post for no reason?
Although one of the
comments mentions that it’s perfectly normal for Siler to follow
streamers that are under the same organization, Qiao Yanzhou begs to
differ.
There are hundreds
and thousands of streamers on ToothCat, with half of them streaming
LoL. Qiao Yanzhou isn't one of the most successful ones, why would he
follow him?
Could it be…
Qiao Yanzhou bites
his lips and hesitantly opens WeChat. The earlier conversation with
that godly player remains at the top of the interface.
Could it be this
person is Siler himself?
“Liang Dong…”
Qiao Yanzhou’s voice quivers as he calls out to his friend. He is
already unsure if he is being excited, nervous, happy, or scared.
“Yes?”
“I may have an idea why Siler liked my post.”
Late at night.
Gu Zixing lies down
in bed scrolling through Weibo. Moments ago, he rashly hit the like
button for a recent post made by the streamer who had played a few
games with him. Though he has already unliked it, looking at the
comments, it seems as though it didn’t escape the eyes of some of
his followers.
However,
he must say that those memes that Qiao Yanzhou’s fans make of his
face and post in the comment section are pretty adorable. Gu Zixing
knows he’s having a gay moment here as he can’t control the
corner of his mouth creeping upwards whenever he sees these memes.
Seems like he’s
pretty popular with his fans.
Gu Zixing is still
in his thoughts when he receives a message.
YZ Qiao: senpai!
Star: ?
YZ Qiao: I wanna
ask you a question, but promise me u won’t get mad
Star: go ahead
YZ Qiao: Are you
from EG?
Star: yes
YZ Qiao: part of
the team?
Star: yeah
YZ Qiao:
currently?
Star: what do u
wanna ask exactly…
YZ Qiao: ARE YOU
SILER???
Star: yeah
OHMYGAHHHHHHHH!
Qiao Yanzhou is
sitting on his bed with his phone and almost coughs out a pool of
blood the moment he sees his reply.
Why is he
answering this question so casually!
YZ Qiao: then y
didn’t u tell me, am I bothering u?
Star: i wasn’t
hiding at all
YZ Qiao: then y
didn’t u tell me!
Star: well u
didn't ask…
Qiao Yanzhou’s hands are starting to tremble
at this moment. Having
had the chance to play a few games with Gu Zixing and being able to
add him on WeChat was exciting enough already, but the man was even
promising to give him EG’s GML Tickets!
Since
Gu Zixing’s identity has now been revealed though, he’s afraid
that Gu Zixing will go back on his word!
YZ Qiao:
Siler-sama, tho I’m a big fan of urs, im rly not the crazy type
YZ Qiao: I
promise not to intrude ur life!
Star: how r u
able to intrude?
Oh right…
Unless I appear right at his club’s entrance? Qiao Yanzhou
suddenly finds himself looking like a clown, or rather, more like an
idiot.
YZ Qiao: I’ll
always support u! Thx for the tix!
Star: lets play
agn sometime
Happiness comes too
quickly, and Qiao Yanzhou can’t believe what’s happening.
He re-reads Siler’s
invitation to play together soon and feels at peace. He even feels
that he can set off fireworks, open a bottle of champagne, play a
thousand horror games and hold a wedding with Siler in France.
That night, Qiao
Yanzhou has a dream.
He dreams that he becomes a part of EG’s line up, and somehow Siler
is playing as the ADC. Together, they win the game by dominating the
bot lane within ten minutes, and Gu Zixing was so elated that he
gives him a kiss.
Aw damn, that’s
so gay!
Qiao Yanzhou laughs
at himself even in his own dream.
