Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

"Don't think I'll forgive you just because you released three new episodes and a new anime trailer. You scoundrel!"

"(I've finished watching) Slurp, that's right, what you should do right now is get out of bed and start broadcasting for the brothers."

"Hey, it's too much to ask E to get up now. Let me give you a number: get up at 7 a.m. to stream for the brothers, and stream until 8 p.m., no problem, right?"

"Seven o'clock? Five o'clock!"

"Okay, okay, so you're using anime to pad out the runtime, huh? You're really something."

"That's it, that's it, that's it? This is the surprise you were talking about? Your bread and butter are not satisfied!"

Late at night, on the Huya live streaming platform.

The HWG-Emperor personal live stream room, which was originally pitch black, has been replaced by dazzling anime graphics, and the chat box on the right side, which is used for users to send bullet comments, is bustling with activity.

In Northeast China, Liu Yang yawned and closed the ranking client.

"Okay, okay, I'm not fighting anymore. I'll get so angry if I keep fighting."

He lost seven games in a row today, and he collapsed in his gaming chair, completely drained.

Just as I was about to shut down my computer, a link popped up on the Duowan Box I used to log into the game: "Huya is online, Emperor live stream countdown?"

Oh right, YY's new platform launched today, but E-God's live stream isn't until tonight.

As he was saying this, Liu Yang impulsively clicked on the webpage link.

He didn't have high expectations. The Emperor's premiere announcement said it would start at 8 pm, and it was only a little past 4 pm now, so there was still plenty of time.

Fine, I'll just go in and see what that legendary black screen livestream room looks like now.

"Demacia!"

Just as I clicked in, a loud shout nearly sent Liu Yang, who had been staying up all night, to his death on the spot.

I rely on!

The webpage link didn't show Emperor's personal footage or ranked game screenshots in his livestream; instead, it showed... an animated film.

"After achieving success, I opened a bar and named it Canyon Romance Bar."

La La La Demacia Season 3!

Listening to the incredibly familiar narration by the blond-haired guy in his headphones, Liu Yang felt much more awake.

"Holy crap, Riven is in season three!!!"

"Emperor!! I apologize to you."

"Frog Fun, it's actually Rui Mengmeng in black stockings and bunny girls... E God, you know what I mean."

"Damn it, my wallet is doomed again this week."

"..."

After the three episodes ended, Liu Yang was both laughing and crying. He laughed because of the plot, and as for crying... well, after watching the anime, he restarted the app and bought a cute bunny girl outfit. Just as he was about to close the page, the screen went dark and the scene changed.

"Oh right, there's also a new anime trailer."

"What was the name of the new anime that E-God mentioned on Weibo?"

"Super What... Academy!"

"Super God Academy!"

Amidst a dense barrage of player complaints, a line of silver-white title text floated up against the black background:

Super God Academy.

Contrary to Liu Yang's expectations of another LOL-themed comedic anime, the trailer's quality is completely different from "La La La Demacia".

A massive spatial portal floats above a sci-fi city in shades of gray and blue. Mechanical armor, energy blades, silhouettes of strange civilization warships descending from the sky, angel wings—frame after frame of images flash by, accompanied by a heavy wall of sound created by deep cello and electronic synthesizers.

Several lines of text flashed across the screen: "When the power of the galaxy sweeps down at the edge of the stars," "When the flames of war burn through the sky," "Are you ready—to rediscover this world?"

In the final five seconds, a figure clad in dark gray armor falls from the sky, and the camera cuts to the inside of the visor—those eyes, those eyes familiar to all League of Legends players, eyes filled with determination and passion.

The comments section was silent for a moment, then exploded.

【？？？？？？？？？？】

[Holy crap, is this my brother Lun?]

[And there's a policewoman, Ahri, and Xinye?]

[By the way, who is this angel? She doesn't look like Kyle at all.]

[Is this Super God Academy? ??? Is this trailer made by that silly animation studio? ???]

I got goosebumps all over...

[Pfft, Morgana's become the villain, huh? And that crocodile next to her, E-God, are you sure it's not me, Renekton?]

[This armor, this soundtrack, this cinematography—is this going to be the pinnacle of Chinese sci-fi animation?]

【E God, tell me, what amazing talents does your studio have?!】

[I've skipped ahead, guys, I want to watch this again!]

I'm absolutely going to watch this series to the very end!

Liu Yang did not post any comments.

He silently dragged the progress bar back, watched the scene of the armored man falling again, stared at it for three seconds, then switched back to WeChat and sent the same message to several friends in the group:

"Have you seen it? Have you seen it? The trailer for E-God Studio's new anime 'Super God Academy' is out! Go watch it now!"

"..."

On the day Huya platform launched, everyone thought Emperor's debut broadcast would be the climax of the whole show—

After all, a signing fee of tens of millions, seven figures of online viewers, becoming the number one player in the Rift, and making his debut after winning the All-Star championship—any one of these achievements would be enough for esports media to write articles for three days and three nights.

But no one expected that this guy had a hidden trick up his sleeve, and that trick was even more explosive than the main act, giving you a completely unexpected surprise.

La la la Demacia!

As all League of Legends players know, this is a low-budget, ultra-short drama based on the online game community culture.

This thing is a low-budget, ultra-short series derived from the League of Legends community culture. The production budget for the first two seasons combined probably wouldn't even be enough to buy a license for a legitimate 3D modeling software.

Lacking both technical skill and graphics quality, the characters' joints look rusty when they move, and clipping is a common occurrence. It relies solely on voice-over jokes and internal player humor to keep the game afloat.

From the perspective of serious anime professionals, this thing doesn't even meet the threshold of "anime series"; at best, it's just a group of fans creating fan works for their own amusement.

While it does have a compelling story and entertainment value, the fact that it was able to produce two seasons in a row, according to industry insiders, is largely due to the popularity of the League of Legends online game and Emperor's personal popularity.

But who would have thought that the makeshift team that produced two seasons of low-budget, short dramas would pull out such a trump card?

What the hell?

A 3D sci-fi animation, and the trailer is so well made?

The owners of small and medium-sized studios in the industry who make game videos, fan-made animations, or even serious commercial animations stared at the less than two-minute trailer, repeatedly skipping through the progress bar more than a dozen times, becoming more and more silent with each viewing.

Suddenly, I have this feeling that what's going to kill you isn't your competitors, but someone from another industry.

Bro, if you're going to stream, just stream properly, stop messing with your brothers, okay?
