Red Wen, born in the 00s: Rectifying the King's Canyon

"Fine, fine, I was planning to say a few good words for you in front of the camera, but I didn't expect you to still be so arrogant. You'll have to wait to be punished."

Upon hearing this, Qinglong's forehead veins bulged, and he stormed out of the lounge in anger.

"Hey, Gu Lin'an, why can't you just give in?" The coach looked at Gu Lin'an helplessly.

Gu Lin'an habitually touched his nose.

"He doesn't even deserve it?"

……

"Hello everyone, I am Tianyun, and standing in front of me now is HG captain Qinglong."

In front of the camera, a bitter smile appeared on Tianyun's lips.

She was really unlucky today; she had run into this absurd situation.

As an insider, she knew that if this matter escalated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, she tried to avoid asking questions during the long night, but seeing the excited female fans of Qinglong, it was very difficult to get past them.

"Hello, Qinglong, please say hello to the audience."

Before Qinglong could even speak to the camera, his die-hard fans started yelling, "Brother, we've wronged you."

"Brother, you don't need to wrong yourself like this. Speak out your grievances, and we'll avenge you!"

"HG team, quickly switch to the top lane. Why should my brother be bullied? Tonight I'm organizing a group to dox Changye."

Tianyun cursed the brainless fans in his heart, and to stop them from stirring up trouble, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Congratulations to HG team for defeating AG. Next, you will face another strong team, Foshan DRG."

"I'd like to ask Captain Qinglong, what are your plans going forward?"

Qinglong took the microphone and said, "Our team's next plan may be to punish Changye."

Tianyun: ?

Is this the plan I'm asking about?

I'm asking if it's good to play against other teams!

Without giving Tianyun a chance to react, Qinglong continued, "Just as I said before, Changye never obeys orders and his emotions are extremely unstable."

"I believe everyone can see that we are going to play on both sides this time."

"But Changye insisted on his own way and picked Baili Shouyue. Fortunately, he played well and didn't lose this game."

"I don't care if Changye scolds me. After all, it's for the sake of winning the competition. As long as we can win, it doesn't matter if I get beaten up."

"I didn't expect it to be accidentally shown by the director."

"I've been thinking about this in the lounge for a long time. Changye is still young, it's normal for him to have a temper."

"But this kind of emotion is unacceptable. As the captain, I have a responsibility to manage my teammates. I plan to discuss with the boss about letting him take a break for a while."

"I was young and impetuous too, please don't make things difficult for him anymore." Qinglong finished speaking and handed the microphone to Tianyun.

The moment Tianyun took the microphone, he felt like the sky was about to fall.

The leader specifically emphasized not to let this matter escalate, so he gave a basic attack, and Qinglong immediately unleashed a powerful attack.

Oh no, I've lost my perfect attendance record for this month.

"Wow, my brother is so kind."

"No, brother! Kindness is often taken advantage of. I must avenge you!"

Qinglong narrowed his eyes, looking at the fans who were standing up for him, and sneered inwardly.

He understood that the power of public opinion was immense; what was clearly a small matter could escalate into a huge issue after being manipulated by public opinion.

"Gu Lin'an, are you still not dead this time?"

……

After that night, various forums and online communities rushed to report on it.

[Shocking! The genius player Lu Changye actually berated the captain and bullied his teammates. Is this a sign of distorted humanity or moral decay?]

[The seemingly harmless Changye is actually the team bully. We learned about his childhood from a fellow villager of Changye, and we'll explore that story with you here.]

"Born in the Long Night, if the Alliance doesn't give us an explanation, this matter is not over!"

"Clear the long night!"

Gu Lin'an flipped through the messages, his face expressionless.

Just as I was about to retort, my phone rang; it was my coach calling.

"Gu Lin'an, have you thought this through? Or do you not want to apologize to Qinglong?"

"I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"

"Qinglong provoked me first, so I'm wrong to retaliate?" Gu Lin'an retorted.

The coach was different today; his tone was harsh, and he sneered, "It takes two to tango. I don't believe that Qinglong would bully you for no reason if you didn't provoke him."

"Isn't there something you did wrong?"

"Why doesn't he bully others?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Lin'an sneered at the coach's expression, "So the boss gave the punishment, right?"

"You do have some self-awareness. That's right, the boss has already said that if you don't apologize, you're no longer a member of the HG team starting today."

"The league will give you the maximum penalty; you won't be allowed to play for six months."

"You're in the eye of the storm right now, and nobody wants you."

"Your contract with [a certain streaming platform] has been terminated. You can't even stream anymore, so you're on your own."

Gu Lin'an was not surprised; his boss was able to do this by using his connections.

"You deserve it. Of all people to mess with, you had to mess with the Azure Dragon. Now even I'm covered in his stench."

Qinglong was unhappy that he had been getting quite close to Gu Lin'an recently and had reported him to the authorities.

He got scolded by his boss a lot.

"When will the money be transferred?" Gu Lin'an asked.

"Money? You still want money?"

"You've made a mess of the team, and now so many people are criticizing us. Our reputation is damaged. We're already being lenient by not suing you, and you still want money?"

"You'd better just go to the factory." After mocking Gu Lin'an, the coach hung up the phone.

Putting down his phone, Gu Lin'an licked his slightly dry lips.

We were mentally prepared for this, but the only unexpected thing was that they banned his live stream account.

I don't have much money left, and I don't know how I'm going to survive.

As if sensing Gu Lin'an's anxiety, Wang Xiaojian jumped onto the sofa and rubbed his head against the former's face.

"Little rascal, I don't have time to mess around with you right now, we're starving at home."

"I really can't count on you at all. Look at other people's dogs, some can help their owners buy groceries, some can act. What you do is eat."

"If you ever can't afford to eat anymore, I'll just stew you." Gu Lin'an patted Wang Xiaojian's head with a big hand, saying with exasperation.

Subconsciously scrolling through music notes, Gu Lin'an found nothing but videos defaming him. "Is this what big data is all about?" he said helplessly.

Putting down his phone, Gu Lin'an opened the system panel.

He has now increased his hero handling to 59.12 and reaction time to 67.24, with only minor increases in other stats.

To his surprise, an arrow has now appeared above it.

"Does this mean an upgrade?" Gu Lin'an asked hurriedly.

"System, what does this arrow mean?"

[The host has no right to know.]

"Damn it, even the system can bully me now," Gu Lin'an said viciously.

He clicked the arrow again. The system was his most advantageous trump card now, and it wouldn't harm him.

【Ding】

[Host's rage level is full; Red Temperature System upgraded.]

Then a line of text appeared.

[Red Temperature Warning Active Skill: Bringing other players in the game to red temperature increases the user's attributes, up to a maximum increase of 0.1% per instance.]

[When the host collects a certain amount of anger points from other players, they can draw a prize to receive different abilities.]

[Red Temperature Warning Passive Skill: When the host's red temperature reaches a certain level, their attributes can be enhanced by 55%.]

Compared to the previous Red Temperature effect, the passive effect has increased by 5%, and the active skill has a few more words.

"Others involved in the game? What does that mean?"

Can't the system just explain things clearly?

Gu Lin'an was now in a real bind, so he gave up and logged out of the system.

"Let's brush for another half hour," Gu Lin'an murmured.

As he scrolled to the next post, Gu Lin'an paused for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his dark eyes.

A message caught my eye.

[Muyin can now stream Honor of Kings, and we are now recruiting Honor of Kings streamers.]

Choose the challenge and share 100 million yuan in cash!

We look forward to your arrival.
