Chapter 5 I'll eat if I don't gamble with spinach
Condi went from having a rosy complexion to being completely pale.
Chen Wang only used two sentences.
His voice was calm, but every word he uttered made Condi's face grow paler.
How did Chen Wang know?
He did indeed secretly order chicken and noodles behind his girlfriend's back.
But he was very discreet. He never revealed anything to Xiye and his brother-in-law, who were his closest friends. Every time he did something like this, he would make sure the woman booked a room first before he went over.
I went there in the middle of the night because I was afraid of getting caught.
But that's not what he's worried about.
PC gaming isn't really a fatal issue; for him, it's merely a moral problem. And for fans, as long as the player achieves results, that's all that matters. Lowering their moral standards a little is fine.
What truly struck him as fatal was Chen Wang's last sentence.
Fake dog racing.
This is fundamental to a professional player. Once labeled with such a tag, their entire professional career is ruined!!
So he was always very careful.
But how did Chen Wang know that?
At this moment, Condi's face turned red like a duck being choked, but he dared not say a harsh word, only managing to stammer out, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Condi didn't dare to continue cursing Chen Wang. He was afraid, afraid that Chen Wang really had solid evidence.
What's even more frightening is that the other party, even without evidence, will disregard everything and report him to the league officials.
Few professional players can withstand scrutiny. Many LSPL players rose to power through match-fixing, and the fact that they haven't been caught doesn't mean the authorities can't find out.
Often, it's simply a matter of whether you know it or not, or whether you want to.
Xiye's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He couldn't help but glance at Condi, only to find that the other man wasn't as assertive as usual.
In an instant, many guesses flooded his mind.
So that's true.
He knew the other person too well.
Given Condi's temperament, if it were a lie, she would probably have jumped up and bet on her mother by now.
He said nothing, but that's enough to say everything.
However, although we know this, there is still no concrete evidence.
Moreover, they are about to go to MSI. If Condi really has an accident at this time, who will be their substitute jungler?
So, although Xiye was disappointed, she still had to smooth things over: "Alright, shut up. Are these the kinds of things you can just say?"
"Do you know how heavy those words are?"
"This is only happening in a club. If this happened outside, you know how much of an impact it would have."
"He dares to do it, so I can't say anything?"
Chen Wang scoffed, "He doesn't even take his own career seriously, yet he expects others to?"
It is indeed difficult to detect match-fixing through the game itself.
Before he was reborn, Cream, the rookie jungler of the Gyro team, was caught for openly throwing a match with a double-green armor Scorpion. There are countless other rookies who are corrupt and make money by fixing matches.
After all, it's hard to win and make a name for yourself, but it's too easy to lose, especially in the jungle position, which is the easiest to fix a match.
There are many things you can gamble on in League of Legends.
Simple betting on wins and losses or scores is no longer enough for these gambling addicts; they're even betting on things like whether there's a double river crab or the first dragon.
It's very difficult to tell if a match is fixed or not.
Especially Condi, who is C most of the time.
If Condi hadn't been exposed in later years, Chen Wang would never have imagined that Condi, who was hailed as the son of the dragon and had a bright future, would actually fix matches.
What's the point?
"As for the impact?"
Chen Wang lay back in the gaming chair and spread his hands.
"Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you."
"I only turned the screen to black, I didn't download it directly, I'm still streaming."
"Come say hello to the three thousand viewers in my live stream."
Condi: ? ? ?
Chen Wang turned the monitor in front of the two of them and pressed Alt+Tab to bring up the live streaming software in the background.
Seeing the screen filled with question marks, Condi's face turned even paler.
That's not right, that's not right.
This script is wrong.
That's not how it's portrayed in TV dramas.
Shouldn't you first find clues, then collect evidence, and finally confront me, giving me some time to destroy the evidence?
What do you mean by going live and attacking me?
"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Xiye was speechless.
"You didn't ask."
Well, he shouldn't have brought Condi down with him.
This is going to cause a huge uproar from marketing accounts.
There's either one person throwing the game or someone leading the smear campaign within the team.
Haha, we're doomed.
The news broke at night, the person was identified in the early hours of the same day, and the cyberbullying started that same day.
Looking at the constant stream of unfamiliar messages popping up on his phone, Chen Wang skillfully blocked all messages from social media apps and turned off all notifications.
He's very familiar with this.
A person who can leave a comment under a debate about whether Yoo Ji-myung or Jang Won-young should be the lead actress among the five female characters, saying that they prefer Kim Dong-dong, is fearless.
People whose ID photos were exposed in their past lives don't care about these things anymore.
However, just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care.
My roommate Ke Yi was scrolling through her phone when she saw some comments and couldn't help but gasp: "These girls are really ruthless. Someone has already put a bounty on Weibo to reveal your personal information."
"Thank goodness your camera is so bad, it's not even 360p, I suspect it's 180p, I can't recognize you at all, otherwise I feel like I'd get beaten up if you went out on the street."
Ke Yi, WE's substitute support, shares the same junior position with Chen Wang within the team.
He's the kind of person who's been on the big list once, but no one seems to know him. The only award he can mention is the 2015 IEM9 award, where he was the world runner-up.
I used to play matches with Ruozi and Weixiao.
However, it is clear that neither of them has made a fortune in the professional arena, so Ke Yi, born in 93, is just living off his contract and being listed on the roster to retire, preparing to find a coaching job in the future.
I never expected to see something so joyful in the twilight of professional esports.
"I remember the last time WE made a move like this, it was when Clearlove and Abu were going all out and leaving tonight. Are you planning a 'go-or-die' situation 2.0?"
"That's not possible."
Chen Wang hung up on an unknown number, then took the SIM card out of his phone and threw it on the table: "My contract hasn't expired yet, I can't leave, otherwise they'll make me pay for everything."
"No way, you dare to go straight to Condi and expose him? Aren't you afraid of management getting back at you?"
"What else can you do? Are you going to bench me? Aren't I already one?"
Ke Yi was taken aback, but after thinking about it, she agreed. "Well, you've got a big heart. If Condi hadn't fixed the match, you'd be finished. His fans would definitely be after you."
"Impossible, he's got it covered. Do you remember that game where he went berserk with his Prince, risking his life to get those two Rift Scuttler even when his teammates were out of lane?"
"I remember, so what?"
"His odds for the double crab were 3.03, guess how much he bet?"
