Chapter 56: TM_404
"Hello everyone, this is your one and truly Cheap Grass. First of all, congratulations to the SZ players! Zizi is now a justified Best Mid Laner in the world! It is not easy to preserve and persist without losing confidence in oneself just like him."
After giving a brief compliment regarding SZ, Cheap Grass quickly moved on to another topic, "Now moving on to the next explosive news! This morning at 9 am, IF opened the transfer period and the most exciting thing is that a rookie Omega player will be debuting in TM with a salary of 8 million!"
He then proceeded with stating all the problems that have been resurfacing on the internet ever since the news was released, "There are a lot of speculations saying that it was due to 'preferential treatment' toward Omega or 404 has connections with TM's higher-ups. Many even said that it is not suitable for an Omega to live under the same roof as three Alphas, especially a Dominant Alpha such as Silence. Does TM not want to win World anymore? Were what I have seen and heard so far."
Cheap Grass has always been a straightforward person. He admitted that waking up to this information made him a bit shocked but that was it.
He has been playing TOBH for a long time and has met a lot of great Omega players so it was a bit far-fetched for those netizens to outright question 404's ability merely because of his gender.
Knowing that these hot searches were trending due to prejudice toward Omegas, Cheap Grass sneered, "TM hasn't made any responses but I believed in their conduct especially Silence as the Captain. You may have already known but TM's owner values him a lot. I don't believe that signing 404 as a starter for the next season, Silence didn't have a say in this matter. What does this imply? Recruiting 404 has Silence's approval!"
Despite being blunt, Cheap Grass was not a naive person either. He cleverly used Silence's name as a shield to counter any disagreements with his words.
As expected, discordant comments started to appear on the bullet chat but were soon drowned by Silence's fans.
[Even though I am still not convinced by signing an Omega player into TM, CG has a point and I trust Silence's judgment!]
[TM is known for unearthing new talents so perhaps this Omega player is not as bad as we thought?]
[Ah, ah, ah regardless I don't want any coquettish b*tch near my husband!!!!]
[Upstairs, I agree!]
Cheap Grass warily shook his head. He silently lit a candle to 404. This delicate Omega hasn't even made his public appearance but was already blacked by Silence's fans.
The real problem didn't lie in the fact that an Omega could contest with other Alpha players in this competitive environment or not but in whether Silence's crazed fans could accept him or not!
[Is 404 going to be a Support? Will Lotus switch to Mid???]
Seeing this question, Cheap Grass thoughtfully touched his chin. He reasonably said, "It is possible."
BlackLotus's hero pool was quite deep for a Support. He was called the next generation's Best Support after Shen. Unlike others who liked to stick to traditional methods, he liked to invent new gameplay.
To put it simply, you might call him a troll upon seeing his pick in the rank but after playing the game, you would call him Daddy.
With his aggressiveness, a lot of people lamented why BL was not playing a hyper-carry role.
That's why this idea of putting him in the Mid-Lane was indeed feasible.
Nonetheless, Cheap Grass who has seen the world from far and above did not think so.
"In my opinion, there might be no twist at all. Since Mid is empty then shouldn't 404 be a Mid-Laner?"
[Putting an Omega in the mid position? Bah, has TM gone mad???]
[TM lost due to their Mid but if an Omega were to be put in this position, wouldn't they simply throw away their Mid completely??? Will they even be able to secure a place in the Top 3 in the next season?]
[I think Support suits Omega's personality better and BL is a good player overall so he will be fine going Mid]
[Yeah, I like the idea of BL going Mid better]
Noticing that people overlooked his idea entirely, Cheap Grass no longer delved deeper into this matter, he calmly concluded, "Anyways, one week later TM will release the picture of their roster for the next season and 404's profile will be updated. At that time, we will know which position he is going to be so refrain from spreading malicious rumors regarding 404 from now on."
In any case, Cheap Grass couldn't help but pity an Omega who was being hacked by Silence's fans for doing nothing other than being on the same team, therefore, he casually reminded everyone to be more respectful.
Who would have thought that after these words came out, countless gifts poured in making his eyes dazzled by this strange sight?
[Yueyue's Handsome Ge has gifted you a Luxurious Spaceship ×10!]
Everyone in this broadcasting room including Cheap Grass had their jaws dropped to the ground.
There was a lunatic who smashed several million yuan all at once?!
It took Cheap Grass a full 5 seconds to gather his wit and tremblingly thanked this Local Tyrant who appeared out of nowhere.
"Thanks to Yueyue's Handsome Ge for 10 Spaceships... But may I know why?"
[Yueyue's Handsome Ge: I like your attitude.]
Cheap Grass: "..." You smashed several million for this reason?
[Wow, flex!]
[This amount can last me for a whole year without working!]
[Lord?!!! What the hell are you doing here?!]
Just as Cheap Grass and his viewers were confused by this weird comment, the direction of the barrage suddenly shifted.
[Lord, how can you betray Yueyue like this?! My son has gone for two months and you have already found yourself another man?!!]
[Ahhhhh, this couldn't be done. I will tell Yueyue, just you wait!!!!]
[Sonnnnn, come back!!!! Your Ge is raising another little brother behind your back!]
[Lord, how can you shower another little brother while still calling yourself Yueyue's Handsome Ge?!]
[Are you going to change your name to Cheap Grass's Handsome Ge?!!!! How hateful!]
Cheap Grass: "..." Is it just me or do I feel that something is amiss?
[Uh... Can anyone tell me what is going on???]
Cheap Grass who inexplicably felt that he was a mistress suddenly being favored by someone else's husband agreed with this poster very much.
Thankfully, someone soon clarified.
[Ah, Yueyue's Handsome Ge is a loyal fan of a game anchor called Yueyue and this is his normal style of smashing money so we called him Lord]
[But Yueyue was busy and has been absent for two months so seeing our Lord suddenly appear and smash money to CG it felt like he was climbing another person's wall!]
Oh, so it is like this.
Cheap Grass finally understood the situation. If this Tyrant usually spent money like paper then it would be a big loss for that anchor to lose him.
Rather curious about Yueyue, Cheap Grass quickly searched for him. Upon seeing a familiar account, Cheap Grass exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "Hey, isn't this the little brother who unlocked Caesar's voice lines?"
[Here I thought Yueyue was an anchor who sells his face to attract this kind of big sugar daddy lol]
[Upstairs, you are not the only one! I even thought he might be an internet celebrity!]
While Cheap Grass was marveling at this strange coincidence, the deafening sound of gift announcement came once more which startled him.
What day is it today? A National Holiday????
This time everyone including him not only had their jaws dropped to the ground but even their eyes were about to pop out of the eye sockets.
[TM_Silence has gifted you a Luxurious Spaceship ×10!]
[!!!!!!]
[Ahhhhhhhhhh Silence?! Is it the real one?!!!]
[... Upstairs, do you think there is an idiot who would impersonate someone and spend several million like this????]
[Husband, your wife is here!!!!!]
[Silence, I love you!!!!]
[Can I marry you? >///<]
[Silence in the flesh ahhhhhhh I am in the same room as my Male God!!!!!]
Cheap Grass abruptly woke up thanks to the chat going crazy with Silence's appearance.
He did meet the man a few times in real life but their conversations never went beyond greetings.
Never in his wildest dream would he think that come a day this Big Buddha would smash money at his face...
"Thanks to God Silence for 10 Spaceships... But may I ask why?]
[TM_Silence: I appreciate your support to TM. Continue with your hard work. Now, if you may excuse me.]
Just like this the legendary Silence came and went coolly like a night breeze.
Cheap Grass felt like he was going to develop anxiety disorder thinking that he had spent all of his luck to meet these two Local Tyrants and receive their praise for his character in one day.
... I had never known that I was such a great guy?
Even though Cheap Grass hadn't met 404 yet, he felt that 404 was his lucky star.
At this rate, he felt like he would even risk his reputation to stand up for 404 against Silence's fans once he made his official debut.
Thanks to those two, Cheap Grass's live broadcast was pushed to the top and gained a lot of traffic. As a result, another hot search about a Tyrant and Silence defended this new Omega player was trending on Weibo attracting a lot of passersby to eat melon.
Unlike the esports fans, passersby praised the courageous Omega for debuting in this industry and kindly showed their support for him.
On the other hand, the opinions of Silence's fans were divided. Most of them didn't doubt their idol's words so they would wait for 404 to make his debut before making their decision.
Those who were unconvinced were still the ones who obsessed with their idol and were unsatisfied with the way their idol was protecting another Omega completely disregarding them.
They angrily went to protest on TM's official Weibo every day without fail but TM didn't budge.
Not long after, the official lineup was released and TM clearly stated that 404 would be their starting Mid-Laner for Season 11.
The following day, in the early morning the new roster's group picture came out.
Those who were still unconvinced put on their armor, picked up their weapons readied to hack this shameless Omega to death.
In their minds, they had already pictured a seductive vixen with a blushed face and lovelorn eyes looking ambiguously at their idol which was simply unacceptable!
Yet, when the real thing finally appeared everyone who didn't have their guard up was immediately hit by a beauty crit suffering massive damage!
In the group picture, TM's players wore their new black and white uniforms and stood in a straight line while posing in their style.
Zhao Fu was the tallest but also the timidest person, therefore, his face turned slightly red with a reserved smile and a peace sign.
Wei Chen as always put on an indifferent expression. His tranquil blue eyes looked unperturbed while staring at the camera. His whole appearance radiated a cold and noble aura giving off a feeling that he couldn't be tainted by the mortal filth.
Li Haoran was grinning cheekily giving off the vibe of a sunny little brother next door, a cute milk dog. Since he had just turned 18 a few months ago, his appearance was somewhere between a teenager and a young man.
In contrast, Yang Yuxuan was two years older than Li Haoran but his foxy eyes were profound which didn't suit his age at all. He has always worn a light smile on his face but he gave off a cold and chilling feeling that one shouldn't underestimate him or you would be pitted to death by this seemingly gentleman.
Meanwhile, standing in the middle was a tall handsome young man with an exquisite appearance and a clean temperament like a polished jade.
His long sparkling sliver hair was tied into a high ponytail giving him a neat look.
His skin was smooth and fair devoid of any blemish with slender eyebrows, and a pair of light violet eyes surrounded by long curly silver eyelashes excuding a sense of nobility.
His rosy lips curled into a smile causing his beautiful eyes to bend and the corner of his eyes to slightly raise adding another layer of glamour giving off an illusion as if flowers were blooming.
His gentle yet playful expression was measured and controlled making people couldn't help but feel as if they were bathing in the morning sunlight.
To add the icing to the cake, his head-to-neck ratio and body proportions were insanely fine. Simply putting on a casual team uniform made it look like he was wearing expensive clothes specifically tailored for him.
Not to mention, he was taller than Li Haoran and Yang Yuxuan proving that he should be at least 1.80 m!
Mixing among these exceptionally talented people, this handsome young man didn't get overshadowed by them at all. In fact, he was the first person to snatch everyone's attention the moment their eyes laid on the picture!
To his left was the unbelievably gorgeous Dominant Alpha with an indifferent face but for some reason, seeing one cold beauty and another gentle beauty standing next to each other, the image was so harmonious that they subconsciously thought these two looked good together.
Damn... Even their height difference was perfect for kissing.
Not a single person expected this controversial Omega to have such an appearance that went against the sky at all.
Those who initially rushed here preparing to shed blood tremblingly pointed at the picture: "...H-His picture is heavily edited and touched! The real person won't be this good! I refuse to believe it!"
Those who initially came to join the fun: "... TM, aren't you being too cheap?! Can a mere 8 million eligible to sign this little fairy brother?!!"
Passersby who initially came to eat melon: "Who is this beauty?! *Furiously licks the screen*"
