You Boys Play Games Very Well

Chapter 6

Mang God is at Yanshan.

This thought had sprouted seeds of suspicion and, from time to time, it sprouted back up to make Ling Meng perplexed. He began to look for evidence of his suspicions.

Unfortunately, Mang God seldom talked about real life in the live streams. If the other party wouldn’t offer the information, Ling Meng would have to dig it out. Once or twice, he really did get some useful information out from his schemes.

For example, when Mang God won several games in a row and was in a good mood, Ling Meng deliberately fired a test comment:

— In the evening, I ate steamed buns in the canteen. They actually had wuren orange filling. They were so unsavory.”

Mang God saw this and laughed and said: “Are all the steamed buns in university canteens so tasteless? I’ve also eaten dried pagoda flower stuffing ones.”

This was an important clue. After all, the road at the entrance of the second canteen was lined with two rows of pagoda trees and Ling Meng had once seen with his own eyes the canteen staff dragging their boxes out to pick flowers during the blossoming season. The launch of the “Pagoda Floral Feast” had been a collective complaint topic on the campus BBS intranet for a long time.

Now Ling Meng had 90% assurance of his understanding here. Then, one day, there was a fire truck siren almost simultaneously from the Mang God’s live room and the outdoors. Ling Meng then was 100% determined that Mang God was a student of Yanshan University and was in the same dormitory area as himself.

At the same time, there were some subtle changes in the Galaxy celebrity list. The star diamond level players who had been poisoned by Lemon Dad found that they were less and less likely to see Lemon Daddy, while the top 500 saw more and more of him. Once those people won however, they did not hesitate to make a mockery of him.

[Empire] Lemon: Get ready to accept your Daddy’s love!

[Federation]GuestB: ???

[System] After a fierce battle, the Empire achieved the final victory!

[Empire] Lemon: A father’s love is like a mountain! Are your shoulders are heavy?

[Federation] GuestB: What the fuck? Lemon Dad, are you hanging open¹?

[Empire] Lemon: You think Daddy needs to hang open to fight? You little dear.

Unexpectedly, Ling Meng, taking advantage of what he learned from Mang God’s rich combat experience, made a historic breakthrough and scored in the top 300 in the first half of the season. This achievement silenced many of the people who had laughed at him for so long and Lemon Daddy was no longer a man wandering between the star diamond and cosmic god ranks.

There are a lot of comments fondly remembering him on the forum, and wonderful titles of posts abounded:

— On the third day of Lemon Dad’s godhood, think of him.

— The star diamond without Lemon Daddy is no longer the star diamond I am familiar with.

— I don’t have a Daddy anymore, what’s the use of star diamond?

— The top 500 players finally have the privilege of having a look at their Daddy’s elegant demeanor, the hospice care of the god-level Lemon Dad, increasing the kill rate!

— [Serious discussion] Has anyone noticed that Lemon Dad’s recent technique is becoming more and more like Mang God’s?

The serious discussion post was soon buried. Instead, screenshots of the god-rank Lemon Dad’s hospice care stacked higher and higher, which made the water friends realize that Lemon Daddy was no longer the same. Some people even seriously discussed whether Lemon could have had a sex change to cause these changes.

Ling Meng angrily shut down those last posts labeled “serious discussion” and immediately reported the reason as “fundamental impropriety”.
