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

The barrage of comments exploded even more fiercely at that moment, with question marks and "Pick me, pick me" intertwined all over the screen.

Looking at the lively scene in the live broadcast room, Lin Shu stood up, opened the window, and deliberately shouted at the top of his lungs towards the training room downstairs.

"Xiao Hai, Xiao Bai... you guys log on quickly, send the YY room number to the group, get ready for new training."

[Pfft, what the hell is this new training?]

【Seriously, E-God, you're supposed to be the number one player in the Chinese server, how can you assign tasks in such a simple and straightforward way?】

[Nothing special, just a loud voice. (doge emoji)]

"Ahem!"

"Today's solo competition is called—'If You Can Do It, Then Try It!'"

"The rules are simple."

Lin Shu held up three fingers. "First, the hero is fixed—Mundo, one-on-one at the Baron pit. Second, you can only use the Q skill 'Virus Slayer' to throw the cleaver, no auto-attacks, no W to burn people, no E to hit people, and no ultimate to heal yourself."

"Third, no returning to base, no defensive items, each person can only carry one Doran's Shield and one health potion—but you can't drink the health potion either, it's just for show. Whoever gets killed by a melee attack first loses."

He added, "The lucky audience member who gets drawn doesn't necessarily have to choose me. It could be any of our other HWG players—Xiao Hai, Li Nan, Xiao Bai, Lao Ze, or the new substitute kid. You can pick any one of them and win a one-on-one match... oh no, you don't even need to win. As long as you can reduce any one of their health by a third, the reward is a 1,000 RMB red envelope."

"Losing is not a loss... at least I got to play against a professional player, which gives me something to brag about."

Holy crap!! A thousand yuan in red envelopes!!

Pick me! Pick me!! I'm Mundo, I'm awesome!!

Wait, you can only throw Q? Isn't that just a knife-dodging competition?

[I'm ready! I'm ready! (frantically typing on the keyboard)]

[Alright, alright, this time it's really your turn to do it!]

"OK, OK, I'll count backwards five numbers in a row, and the moderator will take a screenshot for me."

Lin Shu arranged, "For the first round, we'll draw two lucky players. Count from the top, the fourth and seventh comments in the third row will be selected."

"five!"

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

After Lin Shu finished shouting, he ignored the barrage of complaints in the live stream about slow loading times and network issues.

The super admin assigned to him by Huya quickly sent over the screenshot. The image even thoughtfully circled the comments of the two lucky viewers who were drawn, and added their IDs on the right.

"OK, our two jackpot winners for tonight have been revealed."

Lin Shu read out the two people's IDs: "One is 'We eat onions without chili,' and the other is 'We kidnappers have accepted the job @Emperor.'"

"If you two are online, please check your backend. Staff will add you to our YY voice group shortly."

"Um, just to add some clarification, kidnapping is illegal in our country."

[Haha, I didn't expect such a surprise right from the start!]

[Alright, alright, kidnapper, the mission for Real E God is now yours.]

[Knife in hand, follow me! (Funny)]

The barrage of comments was still scrolling, and two notification sounds came out in the YY channel.

Clearly, the two lucky individuals had already found their way into the room using the room number provided by the staff.

"Feed? Hello? Can you hear me?"

The first one to speak was "Eating Onions Without Chili," whose voice sounded quite young, but the end of his voice was noticeably trembling. "Holy crap, is that really E-God himself? Am I dreaming?"

"My roommate just said that if I get picked, he'll do a handstand and wash his hair... Um, I need to check if my roommate is still alive."

Then a very low voice crept into the headphones, as if sneaking around, afraid of being discovered:

"Hi everyone... I'm the kidnapper who's accepted the order @Emperor. Um...Emperor, I don't actually kidnap anyone, really, I just want to deliver some local specialties to you. I've been a fan of yours for ten years... Would you mind leaving your address if it's convenient?"

[Haha, my roommate is washing his hair upside down, is that even possible?]

[Hey kidnapper, why are you so cowardly? Don't be a coward, stand up! Don't be afraid of him!]

[A million E-family soldiers stand behind you, don't be a coward, confront him head-on.]

[Sending razor blades to a ten-year loyal fan is perfectly acceptable.]

"Little Haichuang's Room!"

Lin Shu chuckled at the news, typed a few words on the keyboard and sent over the custom room number and password, then spoke into the microphone:

"Sure, if you can hit me with a knife later, I'll not only give you my address, but I'll also get the super moderator to give you a 'Canyon's Number One Bandit' badge."

"Come on, let's go into the room. The password is in the back office. Meet at Dalongkeng."

【Playing Mahjong in the Middle Lane】 and 【Eating Onions Without Spicy Food】 have been added to the room.

"You two choose your opponents for the first round."

Lin Shu said in the voice message, "It's just a patch, it's for everyone's gaming experience. Besides me, you can also choose any player from HWG as your opponent."

"You all know the guys on my side: Xiao Hai, Li Nan, Xiao Bai, Lao Zei, and Xi Ye (the substitute). Just pick anyone; the reward is yours if you take down a third of their health."

The kidnapper hesitated for a full ten seconds, his voice still carrying that thieving tone: "Then...then I'll choose Xiaohai? I see he always plays those flashy heroes in ranked games, and top laners mostly focus on initiating team fights and taking damage, so his positioning might be a bit weak..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Hai let out a cold snort in the YY chat: "Heh."

"Haha, Xiao Hai is being looked down upon."

"If your health drops by a third to yours by the viewers, we'll laugh at you for a whole year."

In the voice chat, the other members of HWG chimed in, adding fuel to the fire.

Several tens of seconds later.

The two picked Mundo and stood in the Baron pit. On the screen, the two burly purple-clad men stared at each other across the river. The others just randomly picked a few heroes and stood in the river to create atmosphere.

"Wait a minute, let me draw a range first."

As the initiator of the event, Lin Shu bought several eyes and placed them in the middle of the dragon pit.

"This is the dividing line!"

"Note that you are not allowed to drop the kitchen knife beyond this line."

"Alright, please get ready, both of you."

After Lin Shu finished speaking, the duel officially began.

The viewers in the live stream were naturally cheering wildly for the kidnapper.

Mundo's knife-throwing trick looks simple, but it actually relies entirely on anticipation.

Xiao Hai's Mundo stood in the very center of the Dragon Pit. Without clicking the right mouse button, he swayed back and forth as if he had oil on his feet.

It wasn't the kind of mechanical left-right jumping, but rather an irregular trajectory, like a pendulum being blown off course by the wind, sometimes shuffling forward half a step, sometimes retreating a whole body length, dazzling the eyes.

The kidnapper swung his first knife—

As expected, it went astray.

Next, predicting that Mundo would move to the left, the second slash flew to the left front. However, Mundo hesitated for a moment, and the cleaver grazed past Mundo's right shoulder without even touching him.

The third cut, the fourth cut, the fifth cut.

He threw out five cleavers, but missed every single one. Instead, he was left with very low health because Mundo's skill would deduct health from his own.

Zhang Hai didn't say anything, but silently typed a smiley face in the public chat.
