Chapter 45: Rita's Request to Join the Call!

With a hint of doubt, Abu clicked on the video.

The opening scene of the video was a recording clip from Zhou Shuyi's livestream.

On the screen, Zhou Shuyi looked utterly aggrieved, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked into the camera, sobbing with a trembling voice

"Waaaah... I'm never playing in Master tier again, I'm never playing Master Yi again, waaaaah..."

Abu was somewhat stunned. From what he knew, Zhou Shuyi had always been a strong-willed person with a very bold personality. What on earth had happened to make her cry like this...

The beginning of the video passed quickly, and Abu then saw various ways Zhou Shuyi died while playing Master Yi. At the same time, he saw the ID of the Shaco player—EDG丶Mo.

So, Zhou Shuyi really was driven to tears by that kid Su Mo?

"Coach, Sister Zhou really was beaten to tears by Xiao Mo!" A-Guang couldn't help but burst out laughing beside him, though a hint of worry flickered in his eyes. "But how can he be so slick even when playing Shaco? Is he a genius?"

For a moment, A-Guang felt a sense of panic.

If things continued like this, would his position as the starting top laner remain secure?

He wasn't sure.

Clearlove also leaned in, staring at the screen with a strange glint in his eyes. "Xiao Mo's Shaco is also that powerful. Could it be that he's a natural at playing these obnoxious heroes?"

Abu didn't speak; he just kept watching the video as he walked.

The more he watched, the more incredible it seemed, and his impression of Su Mo deepened further.

When he had originally promoted Su Mo, he only thought that Su Mo had the potential to develop into a tanky, utility-focused top laner, and his champion pool happened to fit EDG's top lane needs.

But who could have guessed that this guy would constantly surprise him by playing all sorts of strange things that were, crucially, very effective.

"This kid... is getting more and more interesting. Just how many more of these obnoxious 'trump card' heroes does he have hidden away?"

Abu muttered to himself, quite moved.

"Coach, do you think Xiao Mo will go viral online?" A-Guang asked while watching the video.

"With his current popularity, his fame will definitely reach a new level," Abu nodded. "But picking on Sister Zhou like this... he's a bit lacking in social tact."

"Eh, what's there to fear?" Clearlove said dismissively from the side. "Sister Zhou is famous, but with us backing Xiao Mo, who would dare do anything to him?"

Abu glanced at Clearlove, feeling a bit puzzled.

Since when did Clearlove and Su Mo become this close?

Looking at Clearlove's attitude, it seemed that even if Su Mo truly fell out with Zhou Shuyi and went against her, he would still support Su Mo unconditionally.

The group fell silent. Abu continued walking while holding A-Guang's phone, watching the video.

A few minutes later, Abu's group returned to the base.

The group moved in unison toward the training room, all eager to see what Su Mo was up to.

Entering the lounge, Abu immediately spotted Su Mo sitting in a corner.

He couldn't help but smile and walked over quickly.

He didn't make a sound as he approached Su Mo from behind, because Su Mo was currently chatting with his viewers.

But as he listened, the corners of Abu's mouth began to twitch...

"Someone asked me how the food at EDG is. Let me put it this way: even a dog would look at it with disdain for a second."

"I don't even know what EDG is making all this money for. Is it that hard to find a decent chef!"

"When I'm rich in the future, I'll buy out EDG and then fire the person in charge of the cafeteria... What do you guys think my motive is?"

While complaining to his viewers, Su Mo suddenly noticed a change in the bullet chat.

He turned his head and saw Abu standing behind him with his arms crossed.

Behind Abu were Clearlove and the others.

At this moment, Clearlove and the rest had smirks on their faces, looking like they were ready to enjoy the drama.

"Xiao Mo, I heard you want to buy out EDG," Abu asked calmly. Even Meiko and the others behind him felt a slight pressure.

Usually, when Abu had this expression, it meant he was about to scold someone.

As for who, everyone knew exactly who it was.

Meiko blinked from behind, signaling Su Mo to watch his words.

But Su Mo acted as if he hadn't seen them, replying with a smile, "Brother Bu, I don't have the money to buy it yet. We'll talk about that later. But don't worry, if I really can buy EDG, I'll definitely give you an official position to hold."

Abu's expression, which was already struggling to stay composed, completely broke.

But he truly had no way to deal with Su Mo, so he could only say, "What on earth are you thinking about every day? Buying out EDG? Do you have any idea how much EDG is worth right now?"

"Then I'll work hard to make money!"

Abu: "..."

He was utterly speechless.

When talking to other teammates, they would generally become very well-behaved once they saw his expression turn serious.

Even Clearlove would restrain himself a bit.

But this guy Su Mo... God knows how his brain is wired; he never played by the rules.

Abu didn't want to discuss this boring topic with Su Mo anymore, so he simply reminded him, "Stop talking nonsense in the future. I'll report the issue regarding the poor food at EDG."

"Okay, Brother Bu. If the report is successful, I won't talk nonsense anymore."

"?"

【Gained +3 Torture Points from Abu】

Abu rubbed his temples.

He both loved and hated Su Mo.

Su Mo had played a huge part in winning the match against RNG.

But the guy was also incredibly infuriating. One wrong word to him and your blood pressure would spike; it was pure torture!

"Just keep streaming. I have things to do."

Abu didn't care about anything else; he turned and left, not even mentioning the post-match summary he had intended to discuss.

Watching Abu's frustrated expression, Clearlove couldn't help but laugh. "Haha..."

He walked up to Su Mo with a smile and patted him on the shoulder. "Good job, Xiao Mo. Only you can make Abu this angry."

Su Mo's brow twitched. "What do you mean 'angry'? I'm fighting for a better life for everyone. Don't you guys think the food is bad?"

"Uh, well..." Clearlove thought about it carefully. "It really isn't that great."

The fact that EDG's food was bad was an open secret, but the cafeteria was the responsibility of the management, so no one dared to say anything. They could only complain behind people's backs and continue to make do.

If the food could actually improve in the future, everyone would truly have to thank Su Mo.

Thinking of this, Clearlove pulled up a chair and sat next to Su Mo, saying, "Mo, how about I come on and co-stream with you?"

Just as Su Mo was about to speak, a notification window suddenly popped up in the livestream: "Rita has invited you to voice chat. Do you agree?"

Su Mo didn't hesitate and clicked agree.

In the next instant, the livestream split into two, and Rita's figure appeared on the screen.

The number of comments in Su Mo's livestream began to surge again.

"Holy crap, Wife Rita!"

"To be fair, Wife Rita is truly beautiful!"

"Rita finally decided to stream, and she's even co-streaming with Brother Mo. A dream come true for both fanbases!"

"Wait, why is Rita looking for Brother Mo to co-stream? Do they know each other?"

"..."

Amidst the viewers' confusion, Rita waved her slender hand with a sweet smile. "Hi there, Brother Mo~"
