Chapter 132: Huang Banshen and Keep Your Mouth Shut
As per the official schedule, the commentary rotates every two hours.
After two hours of commentary, Xu Xiaoyue gets to take a breather, and she might even get back on later.
During these two hours, she had been fixated on watching Xu Xiaofeng for the first hour and a bit.
After he wrapped up his exploration of withered wood village and hit the road, passing two small exploration points on the way, she decided to see what other players were up to, following the live stream’s perspective.
First was Fiery Conflict Across the Sky, then WZC, and finally some other players.
But after witnessing the Wind God’s performance, watching the other players “battle wits and courage” just felt like chewing on cardboard.
Guys, can you speed it up a bit? Those little monsters won’t defeat themselves!
However, being up on the commentary stage, she couldn’t say much; all she could do was follow along with Xixi’s rhythm and chime in a few times.
You have to hand it to Xixi—she’s a trooper! No matter what was happening, she could keep the commentary going, her emotions always in check, and her voice still pumped.
But the poetry? Yeah, that was a no-show.
Finally, the commentary came to an end.
Xu Xiaoyue quickly logged off and headed straight to Xu Xiaofeng’s room.
She had so many questions after watching his perspective, and while she had tried to ask a couple of times, she didn’t get a response, so she had to bury those curiosities deep down.
Now that the commentary was over, she was itching to find out the answers.
But big brother was still stuck in the activity dungeon, her private messages were as dead as a doornail, so she had no choice but to check in person.
And then…
She covered her face in utter defeat, “Why on earth did I let her buy a female character gaming rig?!”
This female rig has way too much privacy! From the outside, you can’t see a thing inside!
“Tch, still 46 hours to go. I’m waiting! Let’s see how you squirm out of this!”
Xu Xiaoyue really didn’t expect her big brother to be this extravagant.
That voice? There’s no doubt—it’s a girl’s voice! Playing a female character is one thing, but he even went for a Little Loli character!
Seriously…
So freakin’ envious!
Who wouldn’t want to naturally blend in with a Little Loli?
“But I remember this game doesn’t have that many customizable parameters… Did I miss something?”
Xu Xiaoyue decided not to overthink it. After all, once big brother was back, everything would be crystal clear.
She logged back into the game, opened her live room, aka the Nuclear Bomb Little Sister designated channel—except there was no Nuclear Bomb Little Sister at the moment.
As soon as she started the stream, comments flooded in.
“Wow! Our Little Moon is amazing! She made it onto the official live channel!”
“Yeah, so awesome! Our sibling neutrons are really shining bright!”
Xu Xiaoyue shook her head in resignation, “Alright, alright, no need to flatter me. It’s not like I made it to the event; I just snagged a commentary spot because I wasn’t good enough. If I could, I’d jump into the event myself.”
“No worries, next time for sure.”
“Yeah, Little Moon is working so hard; you’ll definitely get picked next time!”
After a brief exchange, she gathered the comrades and watched the live stream together.
At this moment, the official commentary channel had three commentators: the professional Huang Banshen, the professional Keep Your Mouth Shut, and the eliminated contestant from Ruinous Country, Magic City, I’m the Wildest.
The first two? Well, those in the know truly know—they’re titans in the commentary world, wielding the weapons of causality like battle gods.
Huang Banshen was the elder statesman, like a long-accumulating black hole, while Keep Your Mouth Shut was sharp-tongued, always ready to give judgements, rising up like a neutron star.
Combined, their power was just d*ath by a thousand cuts.
That left Magic City, I’m the Wildest, shivering in the corner, terrified of accidentally upsetting someone and one day stumbling onto a surprise in his own doorstep.
Still, there were some things he had to say.
For instance, at the start, he said the activity dungeon was far from as easy as many assumed.
During the first half hour of the event, it was a precarious ride fraught with danger.
A group of players in their undies? One stroke of bad luck and even the best veteran might bite the dust.
Even if they survived the initial wave, relief was fleeting. Because your gear, your stats, your skills? You’d be lost in them and need ages to get the hang of it.
That’s where he met his untimely demise.
Keep Your Mouth Shut: “Indeed. Young Master Hua provided us with a vivid example through his personal experience; this event dungeon is no joke. Now let’s see how other players are faring.”
Huang Banshen: “Alright, here we see Wind Player surrounded by a horde of ghouls! And he… just went down in a second. Young Master Hua, what do you think?”
Magic City, I’m the Wildest: “Um… maybe he snagged a legendary skill, but the cooldown on such a skill isn’t short. Let’s move on to the next wave.”
Keep Your Mouth Shut: “Okay, I see another batch of ghouls gathering. They’re rising! And… taken out by a single shot.”
Huang Banshen: “Now we have an elite monster showing up, the crimson ghoul. Wind is charging in for a melee! Left hook! Right kick! Left jab! And it’s right through! He just punched right through that elite monster!”
Magic City, I’m the Wildest: “Should we switch perspectives? It feels like he… uh, lacks universal appeal and representation.”
“Yeah, after all, he’s known as the Wind God. The previous commentator switched views too—these small points seem like a walk in the park for him now.”
Huang Banshen: “Alright, now we’re looking at Fiery Conflict Across the Sky. He’s grouped up with six players, this is some systematic grinding.”
Keep Your Mouth Shut: “They must be pushing step by step, preparing to take this exploration point.”
Huang Banshen: “Their process is really smooth—six players, clearly defined roles. Not only efficient but also steady.”
Keep Your Mouth Shut: “Exactly. If they keep this up, clearing the little monsters first, they’ll get ready to gang up on the elite monster. It’s safe to say this exploration point is about to fall.”
Huang Banshen: “Wait! They just messed up! The Mage dived in! He doesn’t want those two ghouls at the back to escape, so he went all out, but couldn’t take down the ones in front! What’s happening here?!”
Keep Your Mouth Shut: “That was a dodge! Can you believe he just got a MISS at this point?! Now three of them have to face four little monsters, it’s about to flip!”
Listening to the two professional commentators, Young Master Hua shuffled a bit, shivering.
So terrifying! Is this the power of causality weapons? Just utterly scary.
Watching the stream with the viewers, Xu Xiaoyue was equally gobsmacked.
She’d only heard their voices before, never seen their talent in action. Now that she had, their skills were even deeper than she imagined.
The comments came rushing in with suggestions: “Little Moon, I’m feeling anxious. What if we skip ahead and dive straight into Wind God’s first-person view?”
“Yeah, I’m anxious too. Let’s go!”
In Wind God’s first-person view, finally, the end of the vision revealed a crumbling city wall.
Black Raven City had arrived.
