Chapter 462: Chapter 233: Dream or Reality (Part 3)

Wang Yibing fetched a basin of water, then propped himself up on a chair into a handstand and called out:

"Xie Yuan, hold me steady."

Xie Yuan got up and helped Wang Yibing stabilize himself, watching as he tried to dip his head into the basin of water.

The chat instantly exploded.

"6666"

"This streamer’s legit. He said he’d wash his hair, and he’s really doing it!"

"Dropping some free gifts. Just spamming the 0 key with my eyes closed. It’s the thought that counts."

"Is there someone else there? Never seen him on the stream before. The streamer’s buddy? He’s pretty handsome."

"Get the streamer off, let the handsome guy stream."

"Lame stunt. Dumbass streamer. I’m out."

Although some people were calling it a lame gimmick, the stream’s popularity was still climbing. Xie Yuan blinked, an idea flashing in his mind, and said in a low voice:

"Bing, you still want more popularity?"

"Huh? Of course I do! Popularity is my lifeline!"

Xie Yuan grinned and pulled away the chair his legs were resting on.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing?"

Wang Yibing instantly became unstable, but Xie Yuan just grabbed him by the thighs, lifted him up, and started swishing him around in the basin like a mop.

"6666666666"

"Holy shit, the streamer found a living demon king!"

"Is this streamer secretly a mop?"

"That handsome guy doesn’t look that buff, but his strength is kinda terrifying. Using a person as a mop? Is he some peerless general from ancient times?"

Xie Yuan swished Wang Yibing around a few times and, feeling a bit bad for his buddy’s discomfort, was about to stop when he heard a hushed shout from below:

"Don’t stop! Keep going!"

Xie Yuan hesitated.

"You’re going to get a head rush..."

"It’s fine, don’t stop! This feels amazing! It’s almost there!"

Xie Yuan’s face darkened. He cursed "moron" under his breath and started swishing Wang Yibing again.

When the whole basin of water had been used up, he set Wang Yibing upright, not even red in the face or out of breath.

Wang Yibing was a little dizzy, but seeing the screen full of "666" and a constant stream of comments, he rubbed his eyes, thinking something was really wrong with him.

"What the fuck?"

An unprecedented level of popularity washed over the stream. Wang Yibing felt a real rush of blood to his head now and shouted excitedly:

"Fam! Your boy keeps his promises, right?"

Gifts and comments flew across the screen. Half were praising the great content, half were praising the streamer, but a small portion was talking about Xie Yuan.

"Is that handsome guy a strongman? The streamer’s built like a lump of iron, and this guy lifted him and swished him around without a break."

"Let him stream. The streamer’s too ugly, I’m losing my appetite."

Quite a few people were saying things like that. With the keen eye he’d developed from streaming for a while, Wang Yibing saw the trend. He hesitated for a moment, then remembered Xie Yuan’s earlier question. He seemed to have a good sense for creating a spectacle, so Wang Yibing said decisively:

"Xie Yuan, you stream!"

"Huh?"

Soon, Xie Yuan was pushed into the seat by Wang Yibing, who started explaining the keybinds to him:

"This is attack, this is dodge, hold this one to charge... It’s not hard.

"Alright fam, my bro has never played this before. How many seconds do you think he can last against the Tiger Vanguard?

"Three seconds? You’re underestimating my bro. Give him at least five... As many seconds as he mopped the streamer? Fuck!

"Okay, your boy’s starting a poll, yo! Ten seconds, thirty seconds, one minute... Hehe, Xie Yuan, they’re all looking down on you. Go for it!"

After getting the hang of the keybinds, Xie Yuan looked at the orange-peel-textured big cat on the screen and nodded.

’He’d watched for a while and felt... Bing’s reactions are a bit slow.’

’This game boss’s movements aren’t that subtle; they’re pretty easy to read.’

The game’s graphics were highly detailed, which meant Xie Yuan could take in every little detail.

And the boss’s attacks, which were hard for a normal person to react to, were basically in slow motion for Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan controlled the monkey, dodging, attacking, dodging, attacking. Though he didn’t know any fancy combos, he somehow managed to prevent the Tiger Vanguard from landing a single hit.

Wang Yibing’s mouth slowly fell open, forgetting to even commentate, while the screen filled with question marks.

「A few minutes later.」

Watching the orange-peel Tiger Vanguard fall to the ground while the monkey Xie Yuan controlled hadn’t lost a single drop of health or used a single potion, the chat absolutely exploded.

"A no-hit Tiger Vanguard run? Holy shit! Where did you find this pro pretending to be a noob?"

"Such a simple, unflashy no-hit run. It looks like he’s only using two moves, but he still cleared it."

"Suddenly I feel like I can do it too... Ape God, activate!"

Wang Yibing stared at the non-stop flood of comments, both excited and astonished. He couldn’t help but slap Xie Yuan on the back and yell:

"Holy shit! There’s no way this is your first time playing! Tell me, when did you secretly practice?"

Xie Yuan looked at him like he was an idiot, the corner of his mouth twitching.

"...What do you think? When I was in the ICU? Using the heart monitor?"

Only then did Wang Yibing remember. His buddy had just gotten out of the hospital yesterday. He’d been laid up in bed when Black Monkey was released. He felt a little embarrassed.

Then his eyes lit up, and he circled Xie Yuan, clicking his tongue in amazement.

’It was actually real?’

’A first-try kill on the Tiger Vanguard?’

’That’s one thing; someone’s bound to do it eventually.’

’Even though the Tiger Vanguard is known as the Reaper of Monkey-Heads, with twenty million players, there are bound to be a few experts.’

’But a no-hit, first-try kill?’

’I don’t think anyone on the entire internet has heard of that, right?’

Wang Yibing pointed at Xie Yuan and shouted into the microphone:

"Fam! Did you see that?! My bro, playing Black Monkey for the first time, gets a no-hit, first-try kill on the Tiger Vanguard! Oh my god, the chosen one is here in the flesh!

"What? You don’t believe me? Why would I lie to you? Lame stunt? Shit, how do I prove it’s real?

"It’s true, I swear on my life! You don’t believe me? Let me tell you, my bro..."

He froze, hesitated, then waved his hand.

"Never mind!"

The screen filled with insults and mockery. Wang Yibing pressed his lips together, ready to move on from the topic.

"It’s fine, Bing. Don’t forget about the popularity,"

Xie Yuan said with a chuckle when he saw the situation.

"There’s nothing to say about this."

Wang Yibing shook his head.

Xie Yuan smiled faintly.

"I’m giving you my permission. I already came back from the dead, what’s there to be afraid of?"
