Chapter 38: The Famous Female Streamer's Mission

The Factory Manager never imagined that Su Mo would be streaming.

Not only was he streaming, but he had even turned on his camera.

And not only was the camera on, but the room's viewership had surpassed one million.

In other words, his recent behavior had been witnessed by everyone.

The Factory Manager closed his eyes, feeling a sense of utter despair.

His lifelong reputation... ruined...

The steady and aloof image he had worked so hard to build was completely gone...

The Factory Manager looked utterly broken.

A moment later, Su Mo's teasing voice drifted through

"Ahem, Factory, you're actually kind of cute."

The Factory Manager opened his eyes and summoned the courage to check the bullet chat in Su Mo's stream.

The die was cast; he could only hope that no viewers were screen-recording him to post his behavior online.

However, as he looked, the Factory Manager froze.

He didn't see mockery from the viewers. Instead...

"So the Factory Manager can be this lively too?"

"Haha, that's our Factory for you. Even his entrance is 'cute'."

"Factory's performance today was perfect. If only your Lee Sin in last year's Worlds had been this decisive."

"I still prefer watching Mingkai; looking at Mo-zi makes me want to scold him."

"Mo-zi, you're just a lowly substitute. I command you to show respect to our Seven-醬!"

"Can Seven-醬 beat up Mo-zi for me? Because of him, I've been disgusted by several games today and don't even dare to play anymore."

"..."

The bullet chat wasn't mocking him; it was filled with praise and compliments.

On the contrary, the owner of the stream, Su Mo... seemed to be under heavy condemnation by the audience, as if he had committed a heinous crime.

Especially that guy with the "Moderator" title, who was calling him a "beast" every three seconds...

But while these viewers were cursing Su Mo, they were sending him such expensive gifts...

What kind of logic was this?

As a veteran streamer, even the Factory Manager was a bit bewildered.

His gaze gradually shifted toward Su Mo.

He saw Su Mo smiling foolishly while reading the comments.

Facing such a massive wave of public condemnation, he was actually trying his best to put on a pleasing, sycophantic expression.

How much must he be hurting inside?

No one understood that feeling better than the Factory Manager.

After the World Championship ended last year, he had gone through the same thing.

However, compared to Su Mo, his own experience seemed insignificant.

After all, he was being flamed because he lost the match, and he truly had played poorly.

But Su Mo was being flamed despite winning the match and even earning the MVP.

The pain in his heart was likely several times worse than his own had been.

At this moment, the Factory Manager actually felt a pang of sympathy for Su Mo.

"Xiao Mo, don't be too sad. Just turn off the stream for now," the Factory Manager said, his tone unconsciously softening.

"When was I sad?" Su Mo blinked. "The viewership hit 1.5 million so fast, and so many brothers are sending me gifts. Factory, do you think I should sell meat floss cakes, or should I sell adult toys?"

Su Mo's words caused the Factory Manager's brain to instantly crash.

You absolute...!

You beast!

What on earth are you thinking about all day long!

Did you not see the overwhelming flood of the word "beast" in the chat!

So this bastard wasn't pretending to be sycophantic and smiling; he was genuinely grinning from ear to ear?

Thinking about his own misplaced self-感动 (self-moved sentiment), the Factory Manager wanted to slap himself.

Right, why was he even feeling sorry for this bastard?

It seemed this bastard was only meant to torment others; who could actually make him lose his composure?

"Factory, how about we partner up to sell meat floss cakes? We definitely won't lose money!" Su Mo spoke up again.

Factory Manager:?

Is this guy here to play professional games or to sell meat floss cakes!!!

【Obtained +10 Torture Points from Factory Manager】

The Factory Manager replied irritably, "Sell my ass. Hurry up and pack up to go eat. Don't keep Abu and the others waiting."

"Oh, oh," Su Mo said with some disappointment, "Thanks again for the gifts, brothers. I'll start streaming again after I finish eating. Bye-bye."

Without waiting for a reaction from the audience, Su Mo clicked to end the stream.

The screen went black instantly.

But the Factory Manager noticed that Su Mo's follower count was climbing at a terrifying speed.

It started at just over ten thousand, but within seconds of ending the stream, it had broken thirty thousand.

This terrifying growth rate made even the Factory Manager click his tongue in surprise.

Su Mo didn't even ask for followers!

These viewers are way too proactive!

"Mo, looks like you've really made it big," the Factory Manager said, feeling genuinely happy for him.

"So, do you want to partner up to sell meat floss cakes?"

"..."

【Obtained +10 Torture Points from Factory Manager】

"It's okay if we don't partner up. How about you give me a free endorsement, Factory?"

【Obtained +20 Torture Points from Factory Manager】

...

Su Mo ultimately failed to convince the Factory Manager.

But this was expected.

After all, the Factory Manager was practically one with the EDG team; his every word and action represented EDG, not to mention he was under contract.

Thinking about the contract, Su Mo frowned.

Because he also had a contract with EDG, and he didn't know if the team would allow him to sell meat floss cakes...

He'd ask Abu later!

Shortly after.

Su Mo and Factory arrived downstairs at the EDG building to meet up with Abu and the others.

To Su Mo's surprise, besides himself, the only ones joining the dinner were Abu and the five starters of EDG.

A-Guang, Scout, Factory, Meiko, and Zet.

Seven people in total.

"Xiao Mo is here. Let's head out," Abu said. "By the way, I've scheduled a scrim against IG for tomorrow afternoon. Don't embarrass me tomorrow."

Hearing this, Meiko said, "I wonder if JackeyLove will play against us. Although he's too young to compete officially, his individual skill is very strong."

Abu nodded. "He is very good, but the stronger he is, the more effective our scrims will be."

Zet:...

The group chatted casually as they headed to the restaurant.

There were several restaurants near the EDG base; it only took a few minutes of walking to arrive at a rather high-end establishment.

Perhaps because Abu had made a reservation in advance, the food arrived shortly after they sat down.

Steak, lobster, sea cucumber, razor clams, sweet and sour pork ribs...

It was clear that Abu had really spared no expense this time.

"Everyone, start eating. After we're done, we'll go back and review today's match."

At Abu's command, Su Mo began his "stormy intake."

Su Mo didn't say a word throughout the process, just continuously stuffing food into his mouth.

His mannerism made Abu a bit frightened

"Xiao Mo, are you a hungry ghost reincarnated? Eat slower, don't choke."

"Mmph," Su Mo stuffed another piece of lobster into his mouth, "I won't."

Ten minutes later, Su Mo wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, patted his stomach, and stood up with satisfaction.

"I'm stuffed. Brother Bu, Factory, Meiko, you guys eat slowly. I'm heading back to the training room first."

Abu was stunned for a moment, then hesitated before nodding. "Go ahead. Practice moderation. Hard work requires balance; rest when you need to rest."

After nodding, Su Mo walked back toward the EDG base.

That determined silhouette made Abu beam with pride: "So hardworking. If you guys had even half of his self-discipline, I wouldn't have to nag you to train every day."

The Factory Manager's mouth twitched.

If others didn't know, surely he did.

This guy Su Mo was definitely thinking about starting a stream to hawk meat floss cakes, not "working hard"...

Hard work my ass!

...

Just as the Factory Manager expected.

As soon as Su Mo returned to the training room, he turned on his stream.

However, he wasn't working on meat floss cakes; instead, he opened the League of Legends client, intending to play Shaco.

Viewers were flooding into the stream rapidly.

Su Mo didn't dawdle. He quickly selected Top and Jungle and began queuing.

The queue was very fast, but unfortunately, he was assigned the Jungle role.

He had originally intended to play AP Shaco in the Top lane, but since he was Jungle, it looked like he'd have to play AD.

What left Su Mo speechless was that the player in the Top lane immediately locked in Veigar...

This...

The viewers who had just joined were also amused by this sight.

"Haha, the Beast Brother is reaping what he sowed. His own teammate is Top Veigar."

"No joke, a Top Veigar can be disgusting to nine people all by himself."

"So there are Top Veigar players in Master tier? I thought they only existed in our Silver tier every single game."

"Why is Beast Brother in the Jungle role? Does he even know how to jungle?"

"..."

Su Mo didn't care one way or the other; he also locked in Shaco for the third pick.

This hero caused the bullet chat volume to jump to a new level.

"Holy crap! That's so you!"

"Such an 'underworld' hero. Mo-ge, can't you play something normal?"

"Top Veigar and Karma, Jungle Shaco... how beastly!"

"Playing Shaco Jungle in Master tier... he probably hasn't lost a game in his life."

"Top Veigar plus Jungle Shaco—if this game wins, I'll do a handstand and diarrhea!"

"..."

Su Mo ignored the comments because a system prompt rang out in his mind

【Detected a famous female streamer on the enemy team in the current match. Hidden mission triggered.】

【Mission 1: Intentionally lose the match. Reward: "Simp" Title】

【Mission 2: Kill the enemy female streamer 20 times and win the match. Reward: 1 Prestige Mastery Card】

【Mission 3: Do nothing, but do not make a mistake. Reward: None】

This was clearly a multiple-choice question.

"2!" Su Mo excitedly made his choice.

A regular ranked game actually offered such a precious reward as a Prestige Mastery Card!

Who exactly was the "famous female streamer" the system mentioned?

In his memory, there didn't seem to be any famous female streamers at the Master level.

Su Mo was quite curious.
