After the Transfer, I became the Team’s Favorite

Cen Yu froze for a moment.

“Darn it! How could he forget about this!”

The break period for members of the various major teams was actually a time to make up for their live streaming hours. Cen Yu owed quite a bit of streaming time, so he would start his ranked matches every day with the intention of streaming to catch up.

Cen Yu, a well-known player in the fourth position for WPL, was famous not only in China but also internationally, and he had quite a few fans among those who followed WOC.

However, whenever he was live streaming, he always pretended to be a friendly big brother, with a gentle voice that could make people blush. Little did they know, Jade God was a true powerhouse within the team.

This “powerhouse” title applied not only to the WOC sub-branch of OVO but to the entire OVO team.

And the one who was most often “bullied” by Jade God was OVO’s manager.

The chat in Jade God’s live stream room exploded.

【”Is this the gentle Jade God I know?”】

【”Mom, did I switch to the wrong channel?”】

【”Did Jade God take the wrong medication?”】

【”To be honest, JW’s new mid laner is really something.”】

….

Cen Yu was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly sat back in his gaming chair. “Ahem, um, just came back from respawn. Let’s continue, shall we? You didn’t see anything.”

【”It’s over, Jade God, I’ve already recorded this.”】

【”All the major content creators have new material lined up.”】

【”Jade God’s image has crumbled, hahaha.”】

At this moment, OVO’s manager, intrigued by what Jade God had just mentioned about JW’s new mid laner, leaned in behind him and even helped himself to a bag of chips from Jade God’s desk, munching away. “By the way, you mentioned JW’s new mid laner just now? Who’s that? Did you meet them this game?”

Jade God opened the information panel while resurrecting his giant deity in the game and pointed to the opposing 2nd and 4th positions on the information panel. “Take a look. This 4th position is JW’s Yu Hao. And this 2nd position, he’s duo queueing with Yu Hao, and Yu Hao confirmed that he’s their new mid laner.”

“Oh?” OVO’s manager, with a handful of chips, leaned closer to the screen to take a look. ” ‘Want to play together, I’m rock-solid in the 2nd position.’ This ID seems kind of familiar. ”

OVO’s manager racked his brain, and suddenly, it clicked. “Ah! I remember!”

Cen Yu was startled by his sudden outburst, nearly knocking his mouse off the desk. “This is the guy I was hitting on a while back!” OVO’s manager dropped a chip on the floor in shock.

“Hey, you can be surprised all you want, but don’t waste my food!” Jade God quipped. “And what’s this about hitting on him?”

The manager quickly picked up a few chips to cover his surprise, then swallowed them down. “Well, when I was helping our OVO newbie department scout for talent a while back, you know our youth training and second team needed new recruits.”

“Yeah, go on,” Jade God said while maneuvering his deity in the game and pointing to the opposing 2nd and 4th positions.

“Then, in one match, I was completely captivated by our 2nd position. Look at those graceful movements, the solid laning, the excellent awareness, and the outstanding support…” The manager continued gushing.

“Enough! Get to the point!” Jade God couldn’t take it anymore.

“Alright, so I found a super-strong 2nd position mid laner, and his ID is ‘Want to play together, I’m rock-solid in the 2nd position,’ the same as the guy on the other side in this match. I think it’s the same person.”

“Why didn’t you persuade him to join us then? He’s really good,” Cen Yu said.

“I’m eager for talent, how could I not try to recruit him? But he refused to come, I asked several times, but he kept declining,” the manager complained, sounding like a jilted lover. “He wouldn’t even add me as a friend. Every time, I would search his ID late at night to see if he was online. If he was, I would go chat with him, but he never gave me any face.”

“So, he’s that aloof?” Jade God raised an eyebrow.

“Yeah, that’s why I call him ‘aloof weirdo,'” the manager quickly finished off Jade God’s bag of chips. “How did JW manage to recruit him then?” Jade God looked suspiciously at his own manager.

The manager shrugged. “Who knows? All I can say is that JW’s manager, Shen Qi, is quite persuasive.”

“You’re so unambitious!” Jade God retorted.

“Alright, alright, you focus on your live stream, Jade God. I’ll take my leave.” Before Jade God could be further provoked, the manager made his escape.

Cen Yu (Jade God), on the other hand, refocused on the game. Since the opposing 2nd position was already with JW, he could only admire from afar, considering him as a strong future opponent.

However, Jiang Min had gained an advantage in the early game, securing two kills. As a top-tier mid laner, his ability to snowball was extremely strong. With the cooperation of Yu Hao and other teammates, the snowball grew larger and eventually developed into an unstoppable, fat and chaotic angel.

Cen Yu, the fragile mage in the fourth position for OVO, controlled the giant deity priestess. Once he was caught, the chaotic angel quickly took him down with a few basic attacks and spell crits. In the end, Yu Shen’s team’s core was destroyed, and the word “DEFEAT” appeared on the screen.

Yu Shen silently rubbed his chin. “JW’s new mid laner… quite interesting.”

———–

High-level matches always attracted many content creators for spectating.

The clash between OVO’s duo and JW’s duo was quickly edited into a short video and uploaded online. Among them, Jiang Min’s performance with the chaotic angel stood out.

This short video went viral on the internet and became a hot topic of discussion in the domestic WOC community. Team managers and heads of talent scouting departments from various organizations came forward to express that they had also encountered the ID “Want to play together, I’m rock-solid in the 2nd position” in late-night matches and had invited the player to join the professional scene, but without exception, they had all been turned down.

According to those involved, “Want to play together, I’m rock-solid in the 2nd position” was indeed very aloof, with replies never exceeding three words, typically limited to “Hmm,” “I know,” or “No.”

Gradually, the nickname “aloof weirdo” chosen by OVO’s manager began to spread.

People were speculating who this mysterious JW’s new mid laner, the “aloof weirdo,” really was and what kind of remarkable talent they were.

Little did they know, this “aloof weirdo” was none other than the well-known Sugar God.
