Chapter 517: 511, this ID seems a bit familiar... (Third update) _1

Some people looked at Yang Xi’s battle record and quickly discovered that actually, a few months ago, Yang Xi was a very weak player, but now she has become quite a decent mid-laner.

Another change was that back then, Yang Xi only had one ID by her side, "La La La, Boots of Travel Activate".

Yang Xi might have been weak, but this "La La La, Boots of Travel Activate" was very interesting. It could dominate the entire field in nearly every game, no matter what was used.

In a team like Yang Xi’s, such a player from the start was like a god leading four legs, and the other four just needed to chant 666...

Although Dota has been out for over a year, in reality, everyone’s understanding of the game still wasn’t as strong as that of the veteran player Ren He. Moreover, Ren He was good at the game in his past life, and it was indeed very easy for him to dominate ordinary games.

The reason why Dota is not very newbie-friendly is that the pros can always find a gazillion ways to crush newbies...

The idea to release videos was suggested by Ren He to Yang Xi, this way she could help promote Dota’s market in China. The game’s expansion overseas was as rapid as in his previous life, but just like before, even though it was stronger than other games during the first two years of its release in China, it was still too slow.

When Yang Xi made the phone call, she asked Ren He if releasing videos could indeed bring Dota a lot of popularity, but surely his roommates would find out his identity.

Ren He simply told her that this was something he had considered. After getting to know Li Shuaizhen, Yang Runrun, and Zhang Jinglin over some time, he felt they were very reliable. Their loyalty had become apparent during the half-month military training.

Back then, Li Shuaizhen had to reluctantly deal with the aftermath of accepting an essential acting offer to reshoot three scenes in Hengdian. It was a minor role, but he hoped to continue working in the industry in the future, so he had to go.

As a result, he claimed to be sick and left without leave. Later on, when the instructor found out, Ren He, Yang Runrun, and Zhang Jinglin all steadfastly insisted under questioning that Li Shuaizhen was indeed hospitalized due to illness.

Actually, the friendship among the four people in the dorm started from that moment on. When Li Shuaizhen returned, he gratefully treated Ren He and the others to a nice meal, and because of this incident, he felt the need to ’rescue’ his wayward classmates...

Ren He didn’t mind them knowing his identity because previously, his biggest concern was Mrs. Ren. Back then, he was worried that if Mrs. Ren found out she would beat him to death.

Now the issue was resolved. Having nearly died in America, Mrs. Ren thought she had lost her son. Gaining him back, she suddenly had a more relaxed view of his extreme sports activities.

It wasn’t like Mrs. Ren approved of him playing games, but compared to that battle in New York, extreme sports seemed slightly less intense.

It was like eating an orange after having candy; the orange would no longer taste sweet... This was, in a way, a blessing in disguise for Ren He.

Although Mrs. Ren still didn’t agree, her rage wouldn’t be as fierce as he had imagined.

So what if Knight’s identity is exposed now? It’s inconsequential; he just didn’t want so many people paying attention to him. Ren He didn’t want to live like a celebrity, and Yang Xi agreed with this. She already felt bothered enough, so she did not tell her roommates.

There were quite a few people around who knew about Knight Ren He, and in Ren He’s current plan, he wanted to film some of his favorite movies from his previous life in the future, which would inevitably require the support of those around him.

Squandering their time playing Dota with him, he ought to offer them a taste of prosperity, right? Roommates for four years, brothers for life; a taste of wealth for them was not too much to ask.

During class recently, Li Shuaizhen wasn’t nagging anymore, thanks to Ren He’s enthusiastic attitude about them practicing their acting skills, which was even more exaggerated than Li Shuaizhen’s own effort initially...

It was truly because Ren He had already decided on which movie to film, and good acting was indispensable for it.

Surely, their identities would eventually be known. Otherwise, why would his roommates believe he could invest in filming a movie?

Why would anyone trust you otherwise? This was what Ren He had been pondering lately.

However, Ren He found this matter quite interesting. He hadn’t told Li Shuaizhen and the others directly yet, but Ren He knew they would find out sooner or later. It was just a matter of when.

...

Ren He went away for the weekend while Li Shuaizhen and the others, who were boarding at the Central Academy of Drama and lived too far away, didn’t leave.

Without Ren He, they didn’t play Dota for a day, fearing they’d get thrashed without him...

But the next evening, the three of them couldn’t hold back anymore; even Li Shuaizhen, who was most opposed to Dota, took the lead in going online.

As soon as they logged in, all three of them were dumbstruck. There were 999 friend requests—the maximum limit!

All three gasped, My God, what the hell is going on?!

Muttering to himself, Li Shuaizhen said, "Don’t panic, don’t panic, I’ll accept one and see..."

Clicking to accept a friend request, they were immediately bombarded with questions: "What’s your relationship with Yang Xi?! What’s your relationship with Knight?"

Yang Xi? Knight? What’s the connection between those two? The three were utterly confused!

Li Shuaizhen felt something was amiss. They definitely had some relation to Yang Xi that even they were unaware of...

"Go to Qinghe Search, check if there’s any news about Yang Xi," Yang Runrun was the first to react. He opened the webpage to search, and the first news article was: Yang Xi also plays Dota, and she has released her own game video!

Video? What video? For now, it seemed their only connection to Yang Xi was that they all played Dota, so why were so many people adding them?

Li Shuaizhen suddenly thought of a possibility. With slightly trembling hands, he opened the video and saw the familiar ID, along with his own ID...

In that game, he had performed very well, so he still remembered it...

The three sat there for 5 minutes looking at each other as if they had stumbled upon some major news.

"Do you guys think... could this be possible?" Li Shuaizhen asked hesitantly.

"I suddenly feel like I’m living in a dream, he actually is..." Yang Runrun said numbly.

"I’m feeling a bit dizzy, I used to love watching his videos..." Zhang Jinglin said weakly, supporting his head.

At that moment, Li Shuaizhen saw the second piece of news on the webpage: Yang Xi enrolls at the Central Academy of Music, and the faculty there say that Yang Xi is very low-profile, a good student.

This news seemed to have appeared at just the right time, giving substance to their speculations. One video alone would have seemed surreal to Li Shuaizhen and the others, but this news seemed to be confirming their guess.

Hadn’t he said before that his girlfriend was a freshman at the Central Academy of Music...?
