OFR – Chapter 117 Selection

This girl was none other than Wen Jing, the former game streamer who used to follow Jing Bao.

Not only was she sweet-looking, but she was also a highly skilled gamer.

Her fixed team often competed in cross-server tournaments, with Wen Jing serving as the commentator. Her humorous commentary style and strong gameplay attracted a wave of fans.

She was one of the most popular members of Jing Bao’s team.

Yesterday, however, when Wen Jing noticed the ambiguous relationship between the Fishball Alliance and Leng Hao, she quickly left for the sake of her streaming career.

But now, she regretted it.

Truly regretted it!

She could never have imagined that the man everyone called Leng Hao could be so extravagantly wild—wild to the point of madness.

Yes, madness.

There were no other words to describe him.

One man, with no assistance, no team…

Yet this seemingly isolated individual managed to astonish and awe every single online user on Douyu yesterday!

“Leng Hao is number one in the world!”
“Leng Hao is invincible!”

Such phrases echoed endlessly on Douyu.

Wen Jing recalled the moment when Leng Hao posted on the server-wide announcement: “What can you do to me?” Even she, as a girl, couldn’t help but feel a surge of adrenaline.

To this day, the sheer arrogance and audacity in those words still left a vivid impression on her.

How could Leng Hao be so powerful?

This question had plagued Wen Jing for an entire day and night.

During this time, her regret deepened to the extreme.

She could have been like Hai Qing and Jing Bao, basking in the glory of victory as part of Leng Hao’s team, enjoying the honor of being an original team member.

But she had thrown it all away herself.

Now, Wen Jing got Leng Hao’s contact information from her former friend Jing Bao. She wanted to rejoin his team.

After all, Leng Hao treated his team members better than anyone else—be it through benefits or gifts.

She knew she would never find another team as good as his, or a leader as approachable.

“I was blind. Leng Hao, please forgive me, will you?” Wen Jing sent a message with a tearful tone.

But there was no reply.

The blank chat window felt cold and distant.

Still, she persisted, sending message after message.

Before long, a system notification popped up on QQ:

“Sorry, message failed to send. The recipient has restricted messages from strangers.”

…

Meanwhile, in Shuimo Linju, Mu Bai frowned slightly as he blocked Wen Jing’s QQ and adjusted his stranger messaging settings.

He didn’t want people pestering him just because they got his contact information.

As for Wen Jing, Mu Bai didn’t say anything harsh to her.

But when she announced her departure from the team in the group chat, he had made himself clear:

Leaving is fine, but there’s no need to come back.

As for forgiveness?

If forgiveness were so cheap, who would pay for their mistakes?

So Mu Bai shook his head, blocked her, and turned his attention to his stats page.

Mu Bai skimmed through the tasks. Other than the One Man Domination task, there was nothing he could advance at the moment.

So he opened the “Mortal World and Floating Life” QQ group chat.

Currently, the group had only a few members, but Mu Bai planned to add more today.

At five o’clock, the sky outside was already darkening.

Mu Bai pulled out a file that Hai Qing had sent and decided to let the group members vote on which team to target first.

Since the current members were his first recruits, Mu Bai intended to fill Hai Qing and Jing Bao’s teams with popular streamers and wealthy supporters as the team grew.

As for Zhang Yuyan, who had risked offending the Fishball Alliance to join him yesterday—Mu Bai didn’t fully understand her reasons but appreciated her loyalty.

He planned to groom her into a top-tier streamer.

Thinking about this, Mu Bai tagged everyone in the group chat.

Soon, the members, including Awen and Jing Bao, started chiming in.

Awen: “Daily bow to Leng Hao! What’s up, boss? Also, Leng Hao, you were so cool yesterday, sweeping through the Fishball Alliance solo!”

Jing Bao: “Bow to Leng Hao! Who’s cooler than our boss? Who’s more handsome?”

Xiaoyun: “Haha, no lies detected.”

Xiaoyue: “Hi, Leng Hao!”

Zhang Yuyan: “Hi, Leng Hao!”

…

Except for Hai Qing, everyone in the group responded.

Mu Bai greeted them all and shared the team names from Hai Qing’s file, asking them to discuss which team to target first.

Since most members were girls, the chat quickly filled with lively chatter and gossip.

Xiaoyun: “Leng Hao, please don’t target the Wenqing Team. Their leader has a reputation for coercing female streamers into violating rules during streams.”

Jing Bao: “Yes, I’ve heard that some of their wealthy members even harass the streamers’ fans.”

Awen: “Haha, the Maple Leaf Team might be a good choice. They’re small, but their streamers have great potential—all top-tier players! I’m a huge fan of Han Xiaoxiao, one of their members. But, of course, no one can compare to Leng Hao in my heart. He’s always the coolest and most manly!”

Xiaoyue: “Awen, I don’t know what’s on your mind every day, but I should marry you off soon. Otherwise, who knows when you’ll start harassing me.”

…

While Jing Bao, Awen, and the others chatted enthusiastically, Zhang Yuyan, the newest member, quietly observed the discussion.
