Chapter 24 - The M24 could count as a token of affection between them?
Edited by Divetus and Noks
[I f.u.c.king can’t, hahahahahahaha, I’m faint from laughter. I’m dying.]
[My roommate wants to hear yanxyan sing before dying.]
[I just said that this stream was missing something; the anchor never turns on any background music while he’s streaming!!!]
Yu Yan let out a hollow laugh, “I can’t sing.”
“How could that be!” The man said, “There’s no girl who doesn’t know how to sing during this day and age.”
Yu Yan: “…”
Yu Yan wasn’t lying; he really couldn’t sing.
Although he had an advantage with respect to his vocal timbre, in other aspects, he was completely standard and just downright tone deaf. From kindergarten until the third grade of primary school, he could lead the whole cla.s.s in going completely out of tune without even running out of breath.
Starting from fourth grade, his name no longer appeared in the cla.s.s singing compet.i.tion list.
The barrage was still being spammed, and the stream followers even got excited enough to start spamming gifts.
As a final struggle, he said, “I really can’t, little Gege…”
The eldest Ge who was driving the car said, “Then, you can just casually hum a few words ah. Come on bei!”
Yu Yan still wanted to refuse, but his teammates suddenly turned on their mics.
No. 1 exclaimed, “Just sing. It’s just singing a song. Why are you so embarra.s.sed?!”
No. 2 added, “That’s right. Look at your stream followers, all of them are starving for it.”
“…” Looking at the barrage being spammed crazily, Yu Yan suddenly had the feeling that it was impossible to stop halfway. “No, I really can’t sing, There’s not a single song I know where I won’t go off key.”
Tuantuan said, “You can sing something a bit easier. Can you sing Say Meow Meow?”
[Holy c.r.a.p! Do Say Meow Meow!!]
[Can the female anchor not get involved, who wants to listen to this stupid song ah?]
[I feel like the anchor sounds as if he’s about to cry hahahaha.]
[I killed the last person who sang that song in front of me.]
Yi Chen looked at the running barrage, suddenly rose from his chair, opened a music app, and searched for Say Meow Meow.
He skipped the song timestamp to the chorus and listened to a few words. He pursed his lips and unconsciously bobbed his Adam’s apple in his throat.
This song made his hair stand on end, but he still inexplicably also wanted to listen to the little anchor sing, “Meow, meow, meow, meow”. What kind of strange mindset was this??
Seeing that the barrage was going so crazy, with so many gifts being sent that he pretty much couldn’t even see the names of his stream followers, Yu Yan made the tough decision——
Would you lose any hair if you sang just one song? Wouldn’t.
For the viewers, it would all be worth it.
“I can sing something…” He said, “But the song you guys are talking about, I don’t know how to sing that.”
[That’s fine! Whichever song you know how to sing, sing! I don’t mind at all!!]
[What song did you say you could sing?]
Inside the game, those two players were still urging him.
“Have you thought it through now? Give the game some pa.s.sion ah, Meizi.”
“Alright ba.” Yu Yan said, “You guys wait a bit, I’ll play some accompanying music.”
“Oh man!” The driver was pleasantly surprised and said, “You’re even playing some accompanying music, and you said you couldn’t sing? Come on ba, come on ba, I’m ready.”
Yu Yan opened the music software that had laid unused for many years, quickly scrolled to the end of the playlist, and then double clicked the selected accompanying music open.
His actions were too fast, so before the stream followers could see which song it was, they were hit in the face with a critical auditory attack——
“Dodged, outplayed, return, ha ha ha…” A mechanical female voice sounded.
The two people in the game: “k2026;”
Stream followers: “k2026;”
Although Yu Yan’s voice was soft, it was also emotionless. “How high’s the sky, yo.”
[???]
[?????]
[f.u.c.k, my moribund illness just got revitalized!!]
“What s.e.xy hands, yo, yo.”
Yi Chen: “?”
“It’s me, the macho man, whose mic brings guests around.”
Yi Chen: “k2026;”
[The desire to survive made me unfollow this stream.]
[Being able to sing like this, probably five boyfriends would have run away by now.]
[My roommate pa.s.sed away peacefully.]
[… This d.a.m.ned song is getting louder??]
[Lolololololol everyone around you has already raised their guns! Quickly stop singing!!!]
Yu Yan was completely focused on singing when a meteor shower suddenly appeared over his headk2014;k2014;
[1 has sent a meteor shower to yanxyan’s livestream]
Yu Yan: “…”
Yu Yan: “?!!?!?!”
The singing abruptly stopped as Yu Yan’s brain completely crashed, and countless bolded thoughts flew through his mind——
When did 1 come in?!
Did he hear it all??
… Could he just drop dead right now?
Seeing that Yu Yan’s voice had stopped, the two Ge in the game finally recovered.
The man driving the car chuckled, “Ha, haha, it’s very, very nice…”
The person next to him had put away the gun that he had taken out during his panic. “… Nice.”
When they got to the destination marked on the map, the two men got out of the car as fast as possible.
“I’m going to search the house on the left.”
“Then, I’ll search over here ba…”
Yu Yan sat in the car, motionless for a long time.
[Am I lagging? Why isn’t the anchor moving?]
[Was he moved by his own singing?]
[When did Boss 1 come in? Lololololololol actually even sent a meteor shower.]
The two men were privately chatting in their team voice channel as they searched the buildings.
The driver said, “f.u.c.k man, I can’t deal with that girl. Just kill her and concentrate on playing ba. My gooseb.u.mps are still here!”
“Don’t.” The other guy hesitated for a moment, “… I think she’s kind of cute ah?”
“…??” The driver was completely dumbfounded. “Then, your taste is quite special.”
At the barrage’s urging, Yu Yan finally made a move.
He got out of the car, entered a house that hadn’t been searched, picked up the M416 on the ground, loaded it, and went upstairs.
The whole while, he said nothing.
[This eerie silence… makes me feel like something big is going to happen.]
Yu Yan just went up the stairs and saw an extended mag quietly lying on the ground. He attached it to the gun and quickly reloaded it. Then, he went onto the balcony.
The other two jumped out of the building opposite him.
“Ah, Meizi…”
Once they were fully exposed to his field of view, Yu Yan didn’t hesitate to open the scope——
Bang bang bang!!
Dozens of gunshots rang out, and the two people didn’t manage to react before they were already knocked down.
“Wtf??” The man carrying the gun was completely confused. “What’s wrong, little Jiejie? Were you dissatisfied with our praises earlier?”
[He’s the ultimate a.s.s-kisser. I salute you.]
[That’s a pretty good sentence, writing it down!]
Yu Yan jumped down and took advantage of the time it took to reload the gun to clear his throat and recover his original voice, before casually saying, “Sorry, I’m a man.”
“…”
“…”
It seemed that both of them were flabbergasted, as neither of them opened their mouths for a long time.
[This is the second time I’ve seen this kind of desperate silence.]
[My a.s.s, didn’t the last time just end with the person directly opening fire hahahaha.]
Just as Yu Yan was ready to finish both of them off, the Ge with the gun opened his mouth again.
“No, little Jie… Little Gege.” He paused for a moment, as if he was contemplating. At last, he finally summoned his courage and asked, “Being a man is fine too, are you a gangster wearing women’s clothing? How, how about we add each other on WeChat?”
Yu Yan: “…”
This time, he directly ignored the barrage full of stream followers who were enjoying the show, and shot the two people dead.
Only after the two lootboxes appeared beside him did he let out a long sigh.
… He had paid too high of a price to get here.
Although he had obviously just started the game, and only played for over ten minutes, he actually felt more tired right now than after an entire day of livestreaming.
After looting their boxes, he got into the car from before and drove off.
Tuantuan tentatively asked, “Xiao Yan, are you angry?”
Yu Yan was stunned. “En? No.”
[Then why aren’t you talking, if you’re not angry?]
[I’ve recorded today’s stream. Once this anchor gets really popular, it’ll definitely become part of his dark history.]
[I noticed that ever since Boss 1 entered the stream, the anchor hasn’t talked much. The host didn’t even thank the boss for the meteor shower he sent…]
Yu Yan only then remembered and hurriedly said, “Sorry… I was so nervous just now, I forgot. Thank you for the meteor shower, 1. Thank you Tuantuan for the little stars…” He read out the IDs that had just thrown him gifts and thanked them one by one.
No. 1 suddenly asked, “Who is 1 ya? Can someone tell me about them?”
The meaning of these words were obvious that she had logged into her account and was lurking in the stream.
The barrage immediately gave her the run-down.
[1 is a boss of this livestream. It seems that they’ve been here from the inception of this stream.]
[The boss doesn’t visit often, but they send a meteor shower every time they come.]
[The boss is newbie in PUBG. When the two of them play together, the anchor gives Boss 1 everything, it’s as if he’s protecting his own child.]
“Oh s.h.i.t,” No. 1 clapped. “I’m going to ship these two together!”
No. 2 asked, “Are they the one ranked first on the stars sending list? Male or female?”
[Male, and his voice is extremely nice to listen to! When I hear even a little bit, my legs go soft…]
[I can answer this question! The nickname that Boss gave to the anchor is, ‘little anchor’!]
No. 2 exclaimed, “c.r.a.p, shipping these two!! Tossing away the anchor!”
Yu Yan became so anxious that he wanted to explode himself with a grenade.
The more everyone chatted in the barrage, the more high they got. 1 still steadily stayed in the stream, but was as silent as always.
Yu Yan only managed to say something after a long time, “You guys, don’t talk nonsense.”
He walked into a house in the gra.s.slands, saw a gun lying in front of him, and finally found something that could change the topic. “This was the gun they added in the update today ba? Would you guys like to see me play while using the M416 or this new gun? People say this gun isn’t easy to use.”
[What gun would Boss 1 like to see the anchor play with?]
[If you say it like that, the M24 could count as a token of affection between them?]
Yu Yan: “…”
In this match, he basically couldn’t move two steps without having to look at the barrage. Then, he was annoyed by the YY channel his stream followers had half-jokingly set up, causing his performance to be severely affected. With great difficulty, he managed to fight and dodge enemies in the fields until he reached the semi-final circle, but then was headshotted while he was stuck in his trance.
As they returned to the game lobby, Yu Yan wanted to quickly leave the party. These three female anchors were too powerful and he was completely overwhelmed.
The cellphone in front of him suddenly dinged.
1: What does the barrage mean when they say they’re shipping us?
Yu Yan: ….
1: En?
Yu Yan replied with trembling fingers: I’m also not too sure.
1: Oh.
1: You sang the song very cutely.
He really did hear everything ba!!
Yu Yan wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears and struggled to save himself. However, in the end, he had just typed out the word “I” when another message appeared on his cellphone.
1: Some people privately messaged me and asked if they could draw doujins of us.
1: What do they mean by doujins? Portraits? Drawing our game characters or something?
Are these people devils?!!!
You don’t even know what we look like, so how are you supposed to draw doujins of us ah!! Tell me ah!!!
Yu Yan: … Yes, portraits. You can just refuse.
1: Oh, I agreed.
Yu Yan: ????

The author has something to say:
The t.i.tle of the song in the chapter is “My mic brings everyone to the yard.”
I’ve wanted to write this plot for a long time. My friend said that readers who haven’t heard the song may not get a laugh, but I can’t control what I write.
Thank you for your support.

Juurensha: Ahahahaha, oh Boss Yi, you and Yanyan have so many shippers already….
Divi: The shippers are here!!! Yanyan, you’re so cute, must have a burning face right now. Translating the song was hard, to match the intonation with the rhythm, but you guys can slightly sing along. LOL
Noks: Yanyan’s tone-deafness has been exposed!! But Boss Yi called it cute… That’s what all shippers like best, and also why they become shippers… just like us. xD
Please check out and support the raws if you can!
