Chapter 464 Weird Team Name

Some of them even started teaming up on the spot as needed more people to get a full team of five. However, it was not difficult for them to form teams as everyone there were fans of the game.

“OMG, we get to fight with the hosts! Wonderful! We’ve got a team of five if we all sign up. Let’s give it a try!” Without hesitation, Xiang took out his phone to scan the code.

“Aiya, what if we’re picked? I’m a little embarrassed to play DOTA in front of so many people,” said Hao Jian with a grin.

As the excitement from the crowd toned down, the emcee finally continued, “Next, please welcome our second goddess onto the stage. She’s blessed with beauty and talent, the one with a sweet moving voice, Wu’er!”

The one walking up the stage was a young woman dressed in blue. She had shoulder-length hair and wore a pink hairband with a butterfly on it, giving her a cute refreshing look. Although she was not tall, she had a baby face that made her look adorable.

A very cute girl.

“Hello everyone. I’m Wu’er. Thank you for your support.” She waved as she greeted the audience with a smile.

Such a gentle voice. It was even gentler than the regular childlike voice, which immediately caused howls to go up amongst the crowd as their excitement overwhelmed them.

Wu’er voice was truly her specialty. It was easily able to charm a person’s heart. A lot of them that watched her live stream did not even bother looking at the screen. It was sufficient to just listen to her voice. Some of them would even let the voice from the live stream lull them into a slumber.

“Wah, such an angelic voice. Even as a woman, I can’t help but feel my body melt,” the emcee said with a smile, “Earlier Goddess Coold had told us about her criteria on choosing a partner. I wonder what’s Goddess Wu’er’s criteria for a partner?”

“I don’t think it can be considered a standard. It’s fine as long as I like him,” Wu’er replied.

As the introductions came to an end, it was time for the fans to interact with the live stream hosts, after which would be an autograph session. The hosts would have their own autographed gifts for their fans.

After all that, it would be time for the battle between the hosts to show off their skills and boost their renown.

Throughout the entire process, the passion from the fans did not subside. There were hardly any people leaving midway. They were all still hoping to be picked in the challenge against the hosts.

All in all, the event was done successfully.

“Wah, it seems the two goddesses of DOTA are blessed with beauty and skills. Throughout the entire battle, there’re so many highlights. There’s also Love Letter, 09, and Little Guai showing us their true skills. Coming up next will be our last part of the show, and it’s also the most highly anticipated part!”

The emcee’s words immediately roused the crowd, filling them with anticipation.

“The next team that’s picked will be facing Coold, Wu’er, Love Letter, 09, and Little Guai in a five-man team battle. I wonder who those five people will be? Please look at the big screen!”

Ding—

On the big screen, the team names were cycled through one by one. Many teams registered and it would be picked from one of them.

However, the emcees were good at increasing the suspense as both of them went back and forth.

“I wonder if the team that’s picked would be considered lucky, or unlucky?”

“That’s right. From a fan’s perspective, it’s lucky for them to be able to challenge their idol. However, from the perspective of winning and losing, they might have to face a crushing defeat. What a tragedy.”

“That’s right, but look at the crowd below the stage, so many fans are having that eager look in their eyes. They’re confident about their abilities. Well then, we’ll count down from five and have the screen come to a stop!”

“Five!”

“Four!”

…

“One!”

Ding—

The names on the big screen came to a halt. The team was picked!

Silence!

Everyone went silent!

The emcee, the crowd, and even the hosts were similarly stunned.

They were all stupefied by the name displayed on the screen.

Miss Five-Finger’s BF Squad.

That name, erm…is rather interesting!

Miss Five-Finger. Its implied meaning was clear to all. No matter the gender, those in the crowd started to show an odd expression.

“F*ck! Genius. Absolute genius! I wonder which brother would be able to come up with such a refreshing and unearthly name? This is ingenious!”

“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. This name itself is blessed with the pork leg[1] aura. No wonder it’s picked.”

“WTF! How did my wife’s name end up there? Who dares to steal my wife?”

“Too shameless. Miss Five-Finger is all our wives!”

“What kind of people are in this team?”

…

The crowd quickly scanned around, trying to find this very special team.

Hao Jian, Potato, and the others were also laughing, happily dissing this name. However, they all froze as they saw Xiang keeping silent, asking out of curiosity, “Xiang, this name is so amazing. Why aren’t you reacting? The one that named it must be someone like us. Hahaha…”

Xiang’s face was having an odd expression. His mouth twitched. “That…I put that name there…”

“WHAT?!”

Potato jumped up in surprise. “You named it?!”

“OMG, this is embarrassing ourselves to the max. How did I not notice you’re such a creep?” Hao Jian’s smile froze in place, his face changing to one of indignation.

“Shameful. This is too embarrassing. They won’t force me on the stage, right? My honor will be soiled!” Little Gen’s face turned dark. “Xiang, you’ve hidden yourself too deep!”

“I didn’t expect to be picked with this many people,” Xiang was speechless too as he forced out a reply. “Ye’zi, what do you think?”

Ye Lingchen was already running out of retorts. He quickly tightened the mask on his face and took a deep breath, then helplessly answered, “What else can we do now? Get ready.”

“We’re really going? I think we’ll be toyed with.” Potato scratched his head with a bitter expression.

“Why don’t we try to hide…?”

“It seems this team’s members are a little shy. Let us welcome the five of them!” Along with the emcee’s voice, a light from the stage shined onto Ye Lingchen’s group.

They were speechless.

Without them knowing, a ring of emptiness formed around all five of them as countless eyes focused on them. It was accompanied by whistling sounds and laughter.

It was obvious that their conversation earlier was overheard by the crowd.

They were trapped!

“Let’s go,” Ye Lingchen said calmly, then headed straight for the stage. Potato and the rest found their courage with Ye Lingchen at the lead. They put up a strong front and followed him…
