I Can Do It (Taekook)
Chapter 0
For a certain LOL competition, a certain online streamer famous for pissing people off was currently explaining and broadcasting it at the same time.
Streamer
This support, so tr*sh.
Streamer
If that jungler was my teammate, I would already be idling at the fountain and playing piano for him by now.
Streamer
I recommend that this player go back and properly practice how to last hit.
Audience
What bullshit! If you’re any better, then you do it!
Streamer
I, you Daddy really can do it.
Audience
Okokok. If you can do it then I’ll chop off my head, so you can kick it.
A few months later, LOL’s veteran pro team TTC announced a new mid laner. A boy with flashy blue hair appeared in front of the audience and played Zed to utter perfection, killing everyone he saw, causing all the female fans to begin toeing the line of infidelity.
During the MVP interview after the match, everyone held their breath and eagerly watched this newcomer.Only to see the boy accept the microphone, smile and ask,
Streamer
“That water friend with the StarTV user ID ‘Suburb King 101,’ my team’s address is on the official website, when will you mail your head over?”
After a certain regular season match finished, the staff member went backstage to urge the team members to go onstage and conduct their interviews, only to see TTC’s new mid laner and jungler standing in the corner.
TTC’s number one ace . jungler daddy Road pressed their team’s new mid laner Soft against the wall. He lowered his eyes and asked slowly,
?
The interview later, do you know what to do?”
That quick-tempered mid laner, who had solidified his image as a troll in the audience’s eyes the very first time he went on stage, was currently blushing completely red.
Streamer
“I know. I won’t curse at anyone… I definitely won’t curse at anyone.”
Chapter 1
November 2nd, five o’clock in the afternoon, there was a fine drizzle in
Shanghai.
The area outside Shanghai’s Oriental Sports Center was filled with
people holding banners and LED signs printed with e-sport teams’
logos. They were currently lining up in an orderly fashion to enter the
arena, and every person’s face was filled with excitement and
anticipation. The rain didn’t seem to affect them at all.
Today, the semifinals for LoL’s S10 World Championship Series were
being held here. The two teams participating in the competition were
the HT team from South Korea’s LCK division and the TTC team from
China’s LPL division.
The team who emerged victorious here would receive the opportunity
to participate in the World Championship finals next week.
Since TTC had the home ground advantage, just from a cursory glance
around, one could see that nearly all the merch the fans were holding
were printed with TTC’s crown logo.
A bus pulled to a stop at the right side of the stadium, and a white
crown logo was printed on the body of the gleaming black bus. Seeing
that, security quickly stood up to do their jobs, blocking all the media
and fans who wanted to rush up and crowd around the bus door.
The door of the bus opened slowly, and TTC’s members disembarked
one by one, smiling as they waved or nodded amidst the fans’ screams.
When the last member got off the bus, the surrounding screams clearly
grew even louder, and the fans waved their LED signs even more
energetically.
With many people, it was hard to prevent an accident from occurring. A
sign with TTC written on it suddenly fell to the ground, followed by a girl’s shriek and the sound of security yelling at her to stop.
Fans
“Sorry, sorry… someone pushed me just now,
I’m really sorry. Can you help me pick up the LED sign? Please.”
Guard
I’ll help you pick it up in a bit, back up a
little…”
Right after the security guard said that, someone bent down and picked
up the sign before handing it over.
The man who picked it up was wearing a black and white uniform. His
hair was a little casually messy, and if you looked closely, you could see
that there was an impression left behind at the corner of his slender
and narrow eye from sleeping while leaning against something. Below
that was a tall and straight nose and thin lips that were slightly pursed.
The girl looked at him for a few seconds, dazed, before she looked down
at the LED sign he was handing over.
His fingers were long and slim, and there was an inconspicuous mole
between his thumb and index finger.
The girl blankly accepted the sign.
The man gave a tiny nod before he turned around and walked into the
competition arena.
The girl only absent-mindedly collected her thoughts after the image of
the man’s back had completely disappeared.
She tightly hugged her sign before suddenly spinning around and
grabbing the clothing of her friend next to her. She screamed excitedly,
Fans
“That was Road! God jeon! God jeon nodded at me!! And he even touched
my sign, ahhh—”
Backstage in the break room, everyone in TTC evidently looked much
more relaxed. TTC’s support, Wang jackson, sat down in a chair and took out a mirror to
examine the hairstyle that he had messed with for a long time before
leaving.
Wang jackson (support_Bye)
“That girl’s voice just then was way too powerful. The reason
China’s soccer team didn’t win championships is definitely because
they were lacking her support.”
The team’s manager and coach smacked his head firmly with his
notebook.
Jung Woo-sung (manager and coach)
“Don’t speak nonsense.”
The coach then turned to look at jeon Jungkook, or Road, who had just sat
down. Jeon Jungkook held his phone in his left hand and was scrolling
down the screen. His right hand was propped against the armrest of the
chair, and he was currently lightly curling and uncurling his fingers.
Half an hour before the competition began, the coach started to give
everyone pre-match guidance.
At the very end, the coach glanced at the team’s mid laner and abruptly
called him out.
Jung Woo-sung (manager and coach)
“Kan, you remember everything I told you before, right?”
The person who was called out took half a second to respond.
Seo in guk (Kan_mid lainer)
“Ah… oh,
of course I remember. I won’t make the same mistake as before.”
Jeon jungkook swept a glance at Kan. After the coach finished saying
everything, jeon jungkook stood up and said,
jeon jungkook(Road_jungler)
“Going to the bathroom.”
As the water rushed over his hands, it brought a bone-chilling coldness
with it.
Hearing that voice, jeon jungkook lifted his head and looked through the
mirror at the coach standing behind him.
jeon jungkook(Road_jungler)
“As long
as I’m allowed to go up, I can win.”
Chapter 2
StarTV’s LoL livestream channels. Currently, the official broadcast room
already reached over 800 million popularity points, solidly occupying
first place among the other LoL channels. Following behind were the
channels of previous professional players who began streaming after
retiring
As far as one could see, all the streaming room names were worded
with titles like “S10 Semifinals,” “Passionate Commentary,” “TTC Must
Win.”
On the first page of rankings, the room name at the very bottom of the
list became a breath of fresh air.
[taking a lazy day. —Soft].
The livestream room had 130 million
popularity points.
Kim Taehyung came back carrying takeout. When he saw that the host was
still chatting away in the livestream, he unwrapped the takeout packaging.
Since it was raining outside, the takeout was almost half an hour late,
and he was absolutely starving.
Audience
[No way no way, you’re making us sit here and watch you eat takeout?]
[Inactive livestream, reported.]
[Whatcha eating?]
Kim Taehyung(soft_mid laner)
“Zhajiangmian.”
Kim Taehyung just woke up not too long ago, so he spoke lazily.
Kim Taehyung(soft_mid laner)
“If I’m not full, how will I have the strength to explain things for
you guys?”
Audience
[Okok, eat some more, I’m afraid you won’t have the energy to flame people later.]
[Left the LoL pit for many years, I want to ask who is this streamer?
Why so popular? Is he also a retired player? So handsome?]
[This is a LoL streamer famous for pissing people off.]
[Dirty mouth streamer.]
[Noob streamer.]
Kim Taehyung(soft_mid laner)
“Room mod, please block the one who called me a noob… never mind,
I’ll block them myself.”
Kim Taehyung put down his chopsticks and arranged
a speaking ban package for the person who called him a noob.
After chatting casually with the audience for a while, the two teams
finally went on stage to prepare for the match.
Jian Rong sat cross-legged on the gaming chair, holding the bottom of
the takeout container with one hand. His chewing slowed down a bit as
his gaze unconsciously floated over towards the person sitting second
from the left.
TTC’s jungler Road had already taken a seat and was currently
adjusting his equipment. It seemed like he had just washed his face, as
the tips of his bangs were a bit wet.
The broadcast started to give each player a close-up shot. When it was
Road’s turn, the camera clearly lingered a bit longer on him than the
others, and the commentator immediately changed the subject to Road.
Commentator A gave an introduction.
Commentator
“Next up, the camera is focused
on TTC’s, and I could even say our LPL’s, ace jungler, TTC 'Road! God Jeon is as handsome as ever today.”
Commentator
Commentator B, “That’s right, and what’s more, he doesn’t look nervous at all.”
Commentator C laughed, and as the camera’s focus changed, he said,
Commentator
“As expected of TTC’s stabilizing rock. Wherever he sits, I feel especially at ease.”
Commentator
“However, the mid laner Kan seems to be quite tense today.”
Commentator
Commentator B, “A little bit. Reasonably speaking, he shouldn’t be though. He’s already fought in the World Championship four times now. I hope that Kan adjusts quickly and does his best to relax before the game starts.”
Kim Taehyung glanced over the barrage and swallowed his noodles before
answering,
Kim Taehyung(soft_mid laner)
“Who do I think will win? Dunno, depends on the condition
of the teams. If TTC wins, will I send red envelopes? It’s not like I’m TTC’s brand ambassador, why would I send out red envelopes if they win? … is Kan stronger or am I stronger? I am.”
His long-time fans instantly sent out a cascade of “6661.”
They had long since grown accustomed to Soft’s style. Soft entered the livestreaming platform two years ago, and he had exploded in popularity just a few months after joining.
There were
many reasons for it, but if one had to pick the most important ones, it
would be: one, he was strong and his stream quality was high, and two, his personality was arrogant and he dared to say almost anything.
But there were also a few new audience members who still didn’t like it.
Audience
[You can only run your mouth in a livestream anyway.]
[You think that you’re all that just because you solo killed Kan a few
times? Kan is a farming-team-fight type player, not like you, the kind of idiot who plays Child Zed and Scammer Suo2.]
Kim Taehyung(soft_mid laner)
“I don’t know what a ‘farming-team-fight type player’ is. All I know is that the winner is the one who can kill the other person and send them back home.”
Kim Taehyung(soft_mid laner)
“Who made that compilation of me solo
killing Kan while playing ranked last time? Share a copy with this fan.”
Audience
[…is this streamer really this conceited? A Kan anti?]
[Nope, don’t misunderstand, he’s like this towards everyone, not just your Kan. But Kan really has been pretty trash this season.]
[For the time being, I really can’t think of a famous player that hasn't been roasted by Soft before.]
[There is one! He’s never roasted Road before!]
Kim Taehyung(soft_mid laner)
“Enough, the match is starting.”
Kim Taehyung interrupted the barrage’s
rhythm and adjusted the location of his streaming interface on the
screen.
Kim Taehyung(soft_mid laner)
“Is this video window covering up the competition interface? I’ll
close it for a while.”
Audience
[Close it my ass! This old lady came just to see your face! If you close it, I might as well go watch the official broadcast!]
[Don’t close it, I’m depending on that blue-colored thing on your head to keep me awake.]
When Taehyung just started streaming, he had once been placed by the
livestream administrator into the “Beauty category” because he was too
good-looking.
His skin was fair, his eyelashes were thick and long, his eyes were even
brighter than a girl’s, and there was a tiny mole to the right of his nose.
As long as you muted him and went to look at the person in the video,
you would discover that he was at most seventeen or eighteen years
old.
But the main reason Taehyung got placed into the “Beauty category”
was because he had dyed all of his hair blue.
The aqua blue color contrasting against his skin made him seem even
paler, and it felt like he could spin around and debut as soon as you
placed a mic over his ears.
However, Taehyung didn’t stay in the Beauty category for very long,
precisely because a complaint had been filed against him after he
insulted the audience.
After being complained to several dozen times in
a row, the administrator obediently put him back in the LoL category.
All in all, the mental endurance ability of the little brothers and sisters
in the Beauty category was still too weak.
Taehyung’s statement just then obviously wasn’t actually seeking the audience’s opinions. After he finished talking, he swiftly closed the video.
With the video on, he didn’t even feel comfortable eating.
He ignored the barrage’s protests and completely got rid of the video
interface before he concentrated on watching the match.
