Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Xiao Dian looked at Lin Xuan with a slightly disdainful gaze. "You can't even beat Eevee in a game of Connect Four? How dare you?"

"Ahem, Eevee is still young, so I didn't take it seriously, but it also proves that Eevee's level is quite good, at least half of mine~" Lin Xuan explained forcefully.

God knows how Ibrahimovic is so good at Gomoku. He looked like a complete novice in the first few games, but after only a few games, he was able to beat me.

"Buy?"

[Next time?]

Eevee tilted its head, revealing a cute and innocent expression, but the sly glint in its eyes betrayed its mischievous nature.

"No, no, I have something to do. Let's play again next time."

Lin Xuan didn't want to be tortured. She'd rather wait until Xiao Dian could turn the Go board into a Go board before "instructing" Ibu. But by then, Xiao Dian's electric grid skills would probably be fully developed.

Lin Xuan walked to the side to finish the takeout she had just picked up, when she received a call from Li Yuan.

"Hey, what's up? Did you go home after watching the game?"

Lin Xuan scooped a spoonful of fried rice into her mouth and said to Li Yuan somewhat indistinctly.

"I've been back for a while, so did you see me?" Li Yuan's tone sounded somewhat excited.

"What do you see?"

Lin Xuan condemned Li Yuan's riddle-solving behavior.

"That photo of yours... now you're not just a celebrity at our school anymore. Wait, I'll send it to you, it's hilarious, hahaha~"

Lin Xuan was completely bewildered, while Li Yuan laughed to himself. But just a few seconds later, Lin Xuan received a photo from Li Yuan on QQ, a photo of himself holding Eevee with a mysterious and confident smile on his face.

It seems to be the same version that Lin Xuan saw in the fan group before, except that this one has a head and the other one doesn't.

"It's just a photo, what's the big deal?"

Lin Xuan admits that he is quite handsome, but it's unlikely that he will become famous because of this.

Then Lin Xuan received another message, this time a video.

Lin Xuan clicked on it and found that it was the official live broadcast of her own match.

At this moment, the person in the video is having Xiaodian perform acrobatics, and the commentator begins to introduce the two contestants.

At that moment, some clueless director pointed the camera at the commentator, and then the commentator was seen reading about Lin Xuan's strange expression after coming from the Department of Evolution at Huada University, and then frantically making eye contact with someone.

When the video reached this point, the comments section was flooded with messages.

[The psychological trauma of the tour guide]

[Commentator: Evolutionary type? Are you kidding me?]

He must be internally devastated at this moment.

[Director! Change the channel! Oh, it's already on me, never mind~]

If things ended there, and Lin Xuan was just an ordinary evolutionary student, then it would indeed be considered a minor live-streaming accident. But the key point is—Lin Xuan won!

Moreover, anyone with eyes can see that Lin Xuan's Xiaodian won the game with an absolute advantage, giving Dongdong Mouse no chance at all.

Then came a miraculous reversal, especially when Lin Xuan predicted the Dongdong Mouse's attack.

Holy crap, godlike prediction!

Is this the difference between me and the experts?

[Is this even an evolved type?]

Then the last image is of Lin Xuan holding Eevee, looking like a mysterious player. With his handsome face, he does have a special aura.

Lin Xuan: ...

That's it?

I checked the view count after exiting the app. In just over an hour, it had already surpassed 500,000 views and was heading straight for a million. It even made it onto the trending page. Then I looked at the uploader... the official account of Shanghai University!

And it's official! Dude, this is an accident, how could you release it like this?!

Moreover, it's important to know that official submissions are often the slowest. Lin Xuan looked at the videos pushed below and, sure enough, there were several videos with similar titles, and their view counts were quite high.

"Why is this thing so popular?" Lin Xuan's lips twitched, indicating her confusion.

"Who knows? I guess it's because you're handsome, and the commentator's reaction caused a miraculous turn of events," Li Yuan said after thinking for a moment, but the smile in his voice was undisguised.

After all, he knew Lin Xuan's usual appearance all too well, which made him want to laugh when he saw the photo of the so-called "mysterious master".

Lin Xuan chatted with Li Yuan for a few more minutes while eating, and then hung up the phone shortly afterward.

Little Dot trained for quite a while this morning and is now playing games with Ibrahimovic, saying he wants to make up for the time he lost this morning.

Lin Xuan had just hung up on Li Yuan when she received another call from her counselor.

The gist of the phone call was that he had performed very well in the competition and should strive to achieve even better results.

Lin Xuan, who had always been a "good student" since childhood, had heard similar words from her teacher countless times. She simply put the phone aside on speakerphone, continued eating heartily, and occasionally replied with "um," "yes," or "okay."

After finishing my meal and resting for a while, I turned on the live stream again when the afternoon match was about to start.

The afternoon matches were quite long, lasting from 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM, a full two and a half hours.

Of course, there are also strong players, mainly students from Shanghai University and Beijing University, each of whom is not to be underestimated. There are also some other schools with considerable strength, the most typical being Elf National Defense University, whose strength is not much weaker than the two universities.

However, there are strong players as well as novices. Several of the matches almost made Lin Xuan's heart and lungs stop. For example, using a Fire-type move against Rapidash with the Flash Fire ability and a Water-type move against Gastrodon made Lin Xuan wonder if this was really a Fighting-type student. How could they be so bad?

"Oh my god, that's Gastrodon! Use your... Ice-type moves! Ice Beam!"

Lin Xuan watched helplessly as the white sea lion on the screen used Surf to launch itself, dealing no damage and even giving Gastrodon a Water Rise Special Attack. She felt her heart skip a beat.

He forcibly swallowed the curse that almost escaped his lips. As a relatively experienced trainer, he would never use a Water-type move against Gastrodon.

Because the water-attracting ability of the sea hare is many times stronger than that of water storage or herbivory.

It can actively attract water-type skills to itself and enhance its abilities. It's practically the same as a lightning rod.

As for the similarly named Ignite ability, it's a complete sham, because Ignite can't actually start a fire; you can only passively wait for your opponent to throw skills at you.

Chapter 87: I Explain Myself?

"That concludes today's explanation. I'm going to buy an oxygen cylinder online now, just in case tomorrow." Lin Xuan decisively placed an order on JD.com, and it will be delivered in a little while.

After a whole day of commentary, I feel like my blood pressure is about to jump out of my head. I feel like I can't go on without an oxygen tank.

Lin Xuan, who considers herself to be wearing a heavy-duty vest in terms of managing high blood pressure, also said that when she couldn't take it anymore, she felt like she needed an oxygen tank to boost her blood pressure.

[Please get me a bottle too, thank you!]

I'm 1.7 meters tall and my blood pressure is 1.8 meters. What should I do?

Is this oozing out?

[A human fountain performance at the mall entrance costs five yuan per show!]

"Thanks to CS who loves to meddle but doesn't like to interfere in other people's business—【Mimi Qiu, could you please commentate on this morning's match?】" This is followed by a video link.

Lin Xuan took a bite of the apple beside her and thanked them.

"Uh... I'm a bit tired from commentating today, which affected my performance. If there are any matches you'd like to see that I haven't commentated on, please let me know, and I'll try to find time in a couple of days... Thanks to the admiral [Loves to Manage, Not to Meddle]! Boss is so generous! Boss, live forever! Boss, may you live forever!"

Lin Xuan sat up straight.

"Oh dear, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel energetic again. It must be because I ate an apple earlier and it gave me some energy. This might be a pomelo disguised as an apple. Okay, let's continue the explanation."

Lin Xuan finished eating all the "Wenyou Fruits" in her hand and felt that her health had indeed recovered quite a bit. Wenyou Fruits are really useful!

【? ? ? 】

【Have you no shame at all?】

Is pomelo a fruit?

[A streamer who gets all excited when he receives a gift]

Lin Xuan copied the link and pasted it into the webpage, but when he actually saw the video, he was completely dumbfounded.

Because the cover photo is one of my photos that's a bit too cringeworthy.

Holy crap, this is my match!?

Lin Xuan was a little devastated, but she had already said what she wanted and accepted the gifts. It wouldn't be good to go back on her word now, and it would feel like she was trying to cover something up.

That's the kind of explanation you can only give with a stiff upper lip.

[Wow, a mystery contestant!?]

[Newcomer, who is this?]

[The top student from BGI's Evolutionary Department showed explosive strength in the final battle]

Perhaps because of the aura she exudes in the photos, Lin Xuan has been inexplicably dubbed a mysterious contestant online.

"This contestant is very good-looking, on par with me."

Lin Xuan first commented on the cover. This time it wasn't that he was vain; after all, given their looks, saying they were evenly matched would be a bit of an understatement.

The streamer is being vain again.
