Behave, Top Gamer—No Fooling Around! [E-sports]

Three years ago, an obituary shocked the world— One of the world's top superhumans, the former Supreme Executive of the United Bureau, died in the line of duty! Lin Xi: How can so many people believe such bullshit~^_^~ In truth, the United Bureau burned bridges after crossing the river. After he devoured the highest-level pollutant, they watched as his contamination levels soared and secretly plotted to eliminate him. During that very siege, Lin Xi self-destructed. Good news: He didn’t die. After closing and opening his eyes, three years had passed, and he had a new body. Bad news: The new body was hatched by that damn pollutant inside him. He was no longer human, and his mind now housed a monstrous presence that couldn’t be eradicated unless they destroyed each other. [See? Humans are such self-deceiving creatures.] [A hero sacrifices himself to save the world—what a tear-jerking story.] [You were already a madman. Aren’t you going to do something about it?] Listening to the voice of "It" in his mind, a mischievous smile flickered deep in Lin Xi’s heterochromatic eyes: "You might as well just tell me to destroy the world." [That’s not out of the question, if you’re willing.] [Sweetie, need a world-destruction guide? We’ve got a hundred ready-made plans for you to choose from!] Lin Xi: "..." How to make this thing fuck off—now that’s a question worth pondering. * Yan Xingzhou’s greatest regret was failing to stop the execution of the annihilation plan. Watching Lin Xi self-destruct before his eyes, the always composed and self-controlled man nearly lost his mind for the first time. After that, the United Bureau collapsed with Yan Xingzhou’s departure. His unpredictable temper and ruthless methods turned him into the notorious "Dictator," a figure of overwhelming power. Until the day Yan Xingzhou sensed a familiar presence from someone again. A red-haired man with mesmerizing heterochromatic eyes. After endless probing and the full revelation of his identity, Yan Xingzhou finally lost control, locking the other’s lips in a deep kiss. In his ear was Lin Xi’s mocking whisper: "Are you sure you’re not afraid of a monster like me?" "Without you, I am the real monster." ◆ A [bottom] who became the highest-level pollutant and is tempted daily to destroy the world × A [top] with ruthless methods but zero principles and blatant favoritism when it comes to the bottom. ◆ The bottom was once human, but now he really isn’t. ◆ Classic powerhouse duo—the top and bottom stand at the very top of the food chain, one human, one pollutant. Dual KINGs.

Five years ago, *The Genesis Era* was launched. The first season was undeniably a golden age, where countless legends were born and the leaderboard was dominated by gods. The gaming world officially entered the VR era. Five years later, keyboard esports declined, replaced by VR esports. A long-dormant ID reappeared at the bottom of the star-studded leaderboard, and alongside this notorious support player, the legendary figures who once struck fear into players during the first season also resurfaced. The infamous scavenger; the top-ranked assassin who never missed in the black market; the battle-crazed lunatic who single-handedly wiped out entire teams; the eccentric grandmaster whose crafts fetched sky-high prices in the auction house... These individuals gathered to join a casual guild for retired players—and then signed up for the VR league. Clueless onlookers: *First-season pros? What era is this? More like a senior sightseeing group.* Traumatized veterans: *Youngsters, you have no idea the terror of being dominated by these ancestors~ QAQ* Elite guild leaders in despair: *Holy crap, weren’t these demons supposed to have quit? Why are they back?!!* — When Jiang Shi returned to the game, the first thing he noticed was the ID still reigning at the top of the leaderboard: *Fish for the Abyss*. Players shared the gossip: *Legend has it that Fish God had an unrequited love. Five years ago, he prepared a grand confession ceremony at Three-Court Slope, only to wait seven days and nights—yet the person never showed.* Jiang Shi: *…Fake.* No need to ask how he knew—he was the *heartbreaker* who stood the other up and quit the game that day. Han Yuze: *Hmph, you sure it was just a duel back then?* Jiang Shi: *?* ◆ Old sly dog (top) x battle-junkie (bottom). The bottom is a troll support who can both heal and DPS—dual powerhouses. If they fought, the top would probably be worn to death. ◆ Custom VR mechanics—don’t overthink the lore. No prior gaming knowledge needed.

TheONE, the top-ranked player on the global leaderboard, rejected offers from various overseas professional clubs. Upon returning home, he was once again approached by a series of top-tier teams. Lin Duyi (TheONE) still turned them down flat. In his previous life, he achieved a grand slam and created an absolute dynasty with ten consecutive victories, but due to illness, he had to bid farewell to the competitive scene. Now, with a chance to start over, he only wished for a healthy body and the joy of playing games. Unexpectedly, he still encountered strange "harassment" online. Facing a group of professional players and popular streamers hiding behind aliases, Lin Duyi thought about it and decided to set a clear price—professional coaching, 1,000 per match. At first, netizens seeing this price thought: Who would spend such a waste of money? Later: It’s actually worth it… The captain of KOY, who won the league championship: This trophy is thanks to TheONE. Green, the top-ranked battle lane player: It was TheONE's brutal teaching that pushed me forward. A top-tier team coach lamented: TheONE's refusal to become a professional player is a loss for the entire esports community. The owner of a famous streaming platform: Despite offering a sky-high contract, TheONE still refuses to stream, what a shame. Lin Duyi: Thanks for the invite, just an ordinary guy who wants to lie down and play games. Unexpectedly, while lying down, he ended up on the Olympic stage. Lin Duyi: Ahem... The temptation to win glory for the country is just too strong.

The rivalry between the eastern and western towers of the military headquarters has persisted for a long time, and this year’s two new recruits only poured more fuel on the fire. On enlistment day, the top-scoring sentinel and the top-scoring guide in the assessments clashed fiercely, nearly leveling the entire training ground. From then on, the nicknames "Li Zhuang of the East" and "Qi Yan of the West" spread like wildfire. Everyone waited eagerly for the two rising troublemakers to face off again once their spiritual manifestations fully awakened. Then came the matching exchange event. Amidst the scent of guide pheromones, Li Zhuang stared at Qi Yan’s alluring features and drawled lazily, *What an adorable spiritual manifestation—can I touch it?* Before the words had fully left his mouth, a goshawk materialized, leaving devastation in the wake of its hurricane-like wings. Its commanding presence exuded regal dominance. Standing beneath those immense wings, Qi Yan smiled faintly. *Who’s adorable? Say it again.* It was common knowledge that while other guides provided soothing mental relief, Qi Yan’s “soothing” was nothing short of psychological torment. Yet, one person was inexplicably enthralled, delighting in the “abuse” again and again. * Touted as history’s most formidable human weapon, Li Zhuang’s spiritual power went berserk one day, laying waste to everything within a ten-mile radius. Overwhelmed by the sheer force of his unleashed energy, the onlookers could do nothing but watch helplessly—until a lone figure strode forward with unshaken calm. Unfazed by the tempest of spiritual power, Qi Yan walked into the storm before the astonished crowd and gently pulled Li Zhuang into his embrace. #The battlefield’s untamed King × The sky-soaring guardian# #Even the fiercest beast will one day be tamed by the goshawk#

Chief Tactician Lin Yan transmigrates into an esports novel, at a point one year before the original plot begins. In the future, the demon king who terrifies the world is currently just a shy young streamer; the disaster star who once disrupted the esports circle is still playing as a companion; the first nurturing dad is warming the bench in a third-rate team; the strongest trash-talking king has offended the media, causing negative news to fly everywhere...They will shine as the plot progresses, but unfortunately, the team's lack of strength dooms them to remain cannon fodder. Lin Yan cannot stand to see talent go to waste. As the esports reality show begins, he invests heavily to establish GH Club, picking and choosing to form a team. Variety show fans: ??? Is this homecoming team picking up scraps? Until all opponents are so infuriated by GH's cheeky tactics that they are left speechless, only able to watch GH obtain the league admission ticket. The entire esports circle knows that GH's roster of audition candidates, apart from captain Jing Yuanzhou, are looked down upon. However, in their first year in the league, this unruly virus of a team sweeps through the competition, reaching the pinnacle. During an interview with the media, GH is asked: Captain Jing, why did you agree to join GH at the time? Jing Yuanzhou: Because he pestered me every day, and I couldn't refuse his enthusiasm. Lin Yan: ??? A warning about salary deduction is given. The whole internet goes crazy: True parental love!!!
