Three seconds!
Heartache couldn’t believe it—Wen Tian had tower-dived and killed him in just three seconds!
And this was done without any minion wave to absorb the turret’s damage!
Heartache was completely stunned.
He slumped back in his chair, staring in disbelief at the black-and-white screen of his phone.
Meanwhile, the livestream chat exploded after Wen Tian’s tower dive and kill.
Comments praising Wen Tian’s skills or mocking Heartache flooded in like a tsunami.
Adding to the humiliation, Heartache’s respawn timer was over 50 seconds long.
Wen Tian didn’t bother waiting for him to revive; instead, he started pushing towers and the enemy base.
Thus, the match ended with no suspense.
While some viewers had hoped for Wen Tian to dive the fountain for a flashy kill, it didn’t happen—Heartache’s long respawn time ensured that the game ended before that could occur.
Heartache lost.
And it was a devastating defeat with an embarrassing performance.
Wen Tian won.
And he did so with overwhelming dominance and ease.
The title “King of Solo Q, Wen Tian” reverberated throughout the chat.
Amid the praises for Wen Tian, there were also plenty of mocking comments directed at Heartache. After all, Heartache had been the one to initiate this challenge. No one had expected such a one-sided conclusion.
A slap in the face!
What a humiliating slap in the face!
Even viewers in the chat joked about feeling secondhand embarrassment for Heartache.
“Ding! Level 18 streamer Heartache has exited the livestream!”
This notification marked the conclusion of Heartache’s ill-fated challenge.
At least, that’s what the viewers thought—though they only dared to say “it should be over” cautiously.
After all, who could predict what Wen Tian’s team, led by the notorious Leng Hao, might do next?
Would they go after all the top King of Glory streamers from the Hongmen team?
Leng Hao’s recent ruthless reputation was still fresh in everyone’s memory, and many secretly hoped for such a dramatic outcome.
After the victory, Wen Tian privately messaged Mu Bai, asking if there was anything else he needed to do.
Mu Bai glanced at the time—it was nearing 11 p.m., and he felt a bit drowsy.
Considering the recent conflict with the YuWan Alliance, which had occurred only a few days prior, Mu Bai decided it wasn’t the right time to escalate tensions with the Hongmen team.
After some thought, he told Wen Tian there was nothing more for him to do and casually sent a “Goodnight” message before logging out and heading to bed.
Though Mu Bai went to sleep, the Chen Shi Fu Hua team members remained wide awake, discussing the shocking conclusion in their group chat.
Ah Wen: “Oh my god! That really was the King of Solo Q, Wen Tian! He’s incredible!”
Xiao Yue: “It’s Leng Hao who’s amazing. Who would’ve thought he’d recruit such a god-tier player? If Wen Tian starts streaming, I’m sure he’d become a top-tier, A-list streamer with celebrity-like popularity!”
Jing Bao: “I thought I had Leng Hao all figured out, but clearly, I was wrong. I feel so naive for underestimating him.”
Han Xiaoxiao: “Yeah, just two hours ago, I thought I was the strongest King of Glory streamer in the team. Now I feel so embarrassed for even thinking that.”
Long Yaonie: “We need to adjust our mindset. No one here should consider themselves the strongest in any aspect of the team.”
Long Yaonie’s comment left the group chat in a momentary silence, followed by a collective heaviness in their hearts.
Yes, they needed to reassess their positions.
They relied on Leng Hao, not the other way around.
Wen Tian’s sudden emergence as a powerhouse under Leng Hao’s banner was a stark reminder of that.
Leng Hao didn’t depend on them—he likely had countless hidden aces up his sleeve.
Without Leng Hao, their lives might return to the precarious, unstable existence they had before.
Realizing this, many members quietly said their goodnights and went offline.
The next morning at 9 a.m.
Mu Bai was already awake.
He had just finished breakfast downstairs and picked up a package.
The package contained the James Ultra Smartphone he had ordered a few days earlier.
Back at his apartment in Shuimo Linju, Mu Bai swapped his SIM card into the new phone and spent some time familiarizing himself with it.
The phone was, as expected, top-notch in every way—core specs, memory capacity, and processing speed were all exceptional.
“Not bad,” Mu Bai nodded in satisfaction.
After exploring the phone’s features, he went to the app store to download his frequently used apps, such as QQ, WeChat, iQIYI, Douyu, and Huajiao.
Despite downloading a substantial number of apps, the phone’s impressive speed meant it only took about ten minutes to complete.
Once everything was downloaded, Mu Bai logged into WeChat and QQ, as these were his most-used apps for communication.
Shortly after logging in, a QQ message notification popped up.
“Ding ding!”
“Hm? Is it that brat, Mi Xuan?”
Mu Bai switched over to QQ, only to find it wasn’t Mi Xuan as he had expected. Instead, it was a message from Xu Jinhuan, the buyer of the Golden Dragonfish he had sold before.
“Huh? What does she want?”
As he recalled the curvaceous and elegant Xu Jinhuan, he opened their chat out of curiosity.
The message included a link accompanied by a short note:
Xu Jinhuan: “Dear players, the long-awaited new official version of the ‘Be an Official’ simulation game is finally here! The dev team has been working overtime to bring it to life. Please participate in our beta test to help us identify bugs. If your feedback is adopted, you’ll receive an exclusive player gift pack!”
Seeing this likely mass-sent message, Mu Bai chuckled. “Huh? I didn’t expect her to be a game designer.”
Although Mu Bai was at the age when many were obsessed with games, he himself wasn’t particularly interested.
Back then, he avoided games because they wasted time he could spend earning money. Now that he had both money and time, he found them uninspiring.
Just as he was about to close the message, several glowing lines of text suddenly appeared in his vision:
“Ding! Congratulations, Host, on triggering the game investment side quest! As a Virtual Tycoon, how can you not invest in the virtual gaming industry? By investing in a game with a potential score of 80 or higher and acquiring no less than 30% shares, you will be rewarded with 10,000 online silver coins.”
“Note: The base potential score is 80. For every 5 points above 80, the reward will triple. Games scoring below 80 will yield no rewards. The potential score must be judged by the Host’s own experience.”
