‘An… entire concert?’

Everyone in the live stream channel was struck dumb when they heard this. What kind of operation was it?

“That b*stard is giving me a headache?”

“Please, someone kill him! I don’t want to hear his singing.”

“Your good friend Esports Deathsinger1 is online!”

The people in the live stream channel were still protesting when Liu Zilang started breaking into ‘Ten Years’. 2

Melodious high notes, accurate medium notes, and stable low notes…

All of the above were not found in his singing.

When Liu Zilang opened his mouth, dogs started barking and birds crashed into trees.

The viewers in the live stream channel could not take it anymore. They threatened to unsubscribe from his channel if he did not stop singing.

The four followers in the match were lost in the haunting rhythm of ‘Ten Years’. It felt like eons had passed in a flash.

Then, the four of them took out their guns!

Clack clack clack!

“Ten years ago, I didn’t know you, and you weren’t…”

Liu Zilang, fully dedicated to performing the best he could, abruptly stopped singing when he heard the sound of their guns cocking!

He felt a little salty when he saw the various weapons pointed at his head.

‘Wasn’t that what you wanted?’

Even though Liu Zilang was not afraid of death, he was not one who purposely looked for it.

Especially when he saw that 17shou’s icon was getting closer and closer to him, he obediently shut his mouth.

The four fans breathed a sigh of relief when Liu Zilang ceased his ‘sonic attack’.

The few people were still trying to find a way to extract fun from him when they heard engine sounds nearing them.

‘Someone’s coming!’

“Is it one of our own?” one of the four people asked.

‘One of our own’ meant one of the fans that were in the fanbase match.

In the match, the fans were attacking the Four Heavenly Chicken Kings. Even if they did not know each other, or even if they were not on the same team, they still shared a common goal. Thus, they were “one of our own”.

One of them went into Liu Zilang’s live stream channel to scout for information.

“F*ck! It’s not one of our own! It’s 17shou!” someone shouted worriedly in the voice channel.

17shou was one of the top three PUBG players on Douyu. He was not only a lot stronger than average, but he was also almost like a ‘Walking Hacking Tool’.

Since 17shou was on his way to rescue Liu Zilang, everyone thought he had guns on him. That was why the four suddenly did not look too good.

“What do we do? Fight or no?”

“Fight, fight, fight! There are four of us. I don’t believe that we can’t defeat him!”

“Brothers, think about it! ‘Single-handedly bringing down two of the Four Heavenly Chicken Kings, this is our chance to shine!”

“…”

The few players cheered on each other in the voice channel, and their morale received another big boost!

The person who had shot Liu Zilang in the butt with a crossbow once again lifted his weapon toward the incoming car. He shouted a deafening roar!

“Haaah!

“Eat this! Shot of the King!”

Twang!

The sound of a crossbow string was heard!

A crossbow bolt whizzed through the air at lightning speed!

For a while, his three teammates and even Liu Zilang stared at the crossbow bolt. They watched it traverse the distance between them and the car…

After a moment…

The battlefield turned silent…

17shou who was in the car was unscathed. He was still driving the car toward them, as though nothing had happened.

“I told you! Don’t do stupid things like Vic!”

“Yeah, yeah! What was the point of all that?”

“Hey, brothers, let’s just pick up our guns and finish them off!”

After that, they picked up their rifles and sprayed volleys of bullets at 17shou’s car.

17shou did not face the attack head-on. Instead, he swiftly steered the car away into the residential area nearby. He was planning to find a good spot to park his car and then retaliate.

Meanwhile, Liu Zilang’s face was covered in black anime lines as he knelt on the ground and listened to the fanbase players talk.

‘What the f*ck does that have to do with me?’

‘I’m kneeling on the floor, but that doesn’t make me a scapegoat!’

The next moment, the corner of Liu Zilang’s eyelid twitched!

The crossbow-wielding fanbase player turned around and glared at him. His embarrassment had turned into anger, and he was thinking of how to punish Liu Zilang.

Liu Zilang’s heart skipped a beat when he saw that!

‘Hey, bro!

‘It’s fine if you suck with the crossbow!

‘But we have to talk common sense, right?’

It seemed like this player named ‘KingOfThePlains’ had abandoned all rational thought.

His eyeballs rolled in their sockets as if he had thought of something brilliant.

He abruptly unarmed his crossbow and then pulled out a frag grenade.

‘What the…’

Liu Zilang felt like crap when he saw the frag grenade. The viewers in the live stream channel laughed out loud.

“Huzzah! That’s it!”

“Looks like the fanbase players can be pretty formidable sometimes!”

“Bahaha, I can finally say that I feel sorry for Vic!”

“Don’t feel sorry for him! Think of what the b*stard has done in the past. I think it’s not enough even if you blow him up ten times!”

“Ten times sounds about right LOLOLOL.”

Everyone was thrilled when they saw Liu Zilang being tormented by this fanbase player!

KingofThePlains did not waste any more time.

In the match, he pulled the pin from the grenade and turned to look at Liu Zilang. He cooked the grenade while cackling.

His three teammates, still shooting at 17shou, turned to look at him. The corners of their eyelids twitched. “Wow, isn’t that a little too cruel? You’re not giving him a chance to get out of this, are you?”

“Vic, you may rest in peace. We will burn some incense for you.”

“Remember to do good in your next life.”

The viewers in the live stream channel began laughing like pigs when they heard the players in the match mock Liu Zilang. ‘Douyu’s Best Streamer’ was an unfortunate title indeed.

How else could it be explained?

Liu Zilang was ‘Douyu’s Best Streamer’ for the night, and the ragtag band of fanbase players was wiping his face on the floor.

There was almost no end to his suffering. Perhaps, getting all the major esports media outlets to report on it would be the cherry on top of the cake.

Liu Zilang thought that he had nothing to lose.

Still kneeling on the ground, he abruptly crawled toward the incoming frag grenade.

“Wow! Since when was he so courageous?” The viewers in the live stream channel were shocked.

However, their shock turned into dumbfounded silence right after that!

Of course, this included the fanbase player.

As Liu Zilang was crawling forward, the grenade that was flying in the air hit him squarely in the head and then bounced back toward its thrower.

‘That… was a header?’

“F*ck! Run!” All color drained from KingOfThePlains’s face as he shouted in his team voice chat.

Unfortunately, having cooked the grenade to perfection, it was his downfall.

The grenade flew backward in a low parabola and exploded in the air.

Boom!

Without warning…

A shockwave expanded from the exploding grenade, and it sent the four players flying in all directions!

In the residential area in front.

Screech!

17shou who was on his little yellow car had stopped at an ideal location.

The rear of his car skidded, and he hopped out. He pulled out his rifle and scoped in!

‘Wait!

‘Where’s everyone?’
