Picking Up Fragments

Chapter 40: Recruitment By Major Teams



What both Jiang Siming and the audience didn't expect was that the person wasn't a salesperson.

"Your eloquence is impressive, Ming God, but I'm not here to sell you anything. I'm 4AM's manager, Lu Yun. I'd like to discuss something about joining a professional esports team. Are you interested?"

Wow!

This news stunned the audience in the live stream. 4AM wanted to recruit Jiang Siming!

"I know you're live right now, so how about we talk after your stream?"

"Uh, sure, I'll call you after I'm done with the stream."

"Alright, I'll wait for your call."

After hanging up, Jiang Siming gave an awkward smile to the audience. "I didn't expect it wasn't a sales pitch. Well, let's continue with the live stream."

"Don't! 4AM is inviting you to join their team, Ming God, do you agree or not?"

"You'll be with Weishen's team, Ming God, aren't you excited?"

"Is Ming God going pro? Will that leave him with no time for streaming?"

"I'm really looking forward to Ming God's performance in professional matches, agree, agree!"

The audience temporarily lost interest in watching the stream, all bombarding the comments to ask if Jiang Siming was willing to go pro.

Jiang Siming pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, I want to go pro. Real strong players don't settle for casual matches. I also want to compete with professional players on the stage."

Changing the subject, Jiang Siming added, "But I'm used to being free-spirited. I might not adapt well to the routine of training in a club every day. I still prefer streaming as my main focus, after all, you guys are my most 'beloved' people!"

"Aww, that almost got me believing it."

"Ming God, you're awesome, just for that, I'm your fan!"

"So cheesy, but I love hearing it!"

"Will 4AM agree to this?"

"If he joins 4AM, how will he continue streaming on Douyu? Will it affect that?"

Seeing everyone asking one question after another, Jiang Siming felt overwhelmed.

"Alright, everyone, stop asking. I'll talk about the details after I finish the stream. Once I have the results, I'll let you all know."

Ring ring...

The phone rang again, and Jiang Siming picked it up to listen.

"Hello, I'm Wang Dong, the manager of RNG's PUBG Club."

After hanging up this call, 17shou, the captain of the 17 team from Douyu's live stream, came to Jiang Siming's live room.

"Brother Ming, our team also wants to discuss your joining. How about we talk after your stream ends?"

After sending off one team invitation after another, Jiang Siming finally managed to continue the stream quietly.

However, at this point, the audience's attention had already shifted from the stream.

This "glorious and face-saving" event happened right before their eyes.

In an instant, four or five teams invited Ming God, which was a huge show of respect!

This was the greatest recognition of Jiang Siming's skill. Who would dare doubt that he's cheating!

Everyone was discussing fervently, suggesting which team Jiang Siming should join, arguing over 4AM, RNG, 17 teams, and more.

They even argued vehemently, and Jiang Siming felt overwhelmed.

Fortunately, after some time, the rhythm calmed down.

Jiang Siming streamed until evening, and Wang Xinyi had already prepared dinner outside. Jiang Siming didn't feel like continuing the stream and planned to end it.

"After the stream ends, 'Trotting Horse'—hand it over!"

"You promised to sing after the stream! No backing out!"

"He's finally here."

"Music lovers, assemble! Ming God's going to sing!"

"Singing just one song won't cut it. Ending the stream so early, you should sing at least two!"

"Absolutely, two songs. Let's make that a happy decision."

"Alright, alright. I'm sorry for ending the stream early today. I'll sing two songs, alright? Hang on, let me grab the guitar."

Saying this, Jiang Siming ran off to borrow a guitar from Wang Xinyi.

He planned to buy a new guitar in the next few days. He couldn't keep borrowing his girlfriend's; she might need it too.

Upon hearing Jiang Siming was going to sing, the audience in the live stream immediately spread the news around.

Many viewers from other streamers' rooms came after hearing this.

78622 live stream room:

"Wait for a bit, I'll listen to someone singing and be right back."

The streamer paused the song, opened the live platform, found the room they wanted to search for, and clicked to enter.

"Er Ke, are you also going to listen to Ming God singing?"

"Oh no, has Er Ke also fallen for it?"

"78622 live stream room has fallen, hope other female streamers are okay."

"I listened to 'Trotting Horse' today, it's really good." Discover more stories at M V L

"The key is that the singer wrote this song themselves. Talented and great vocals, it's hard not to get popular!"

241431 live stream room.

"Oh my, I've been obsessed with 'Trotting Horseop' lately. My version just now sounded awful. Let's watch the original singer perform it, hehe."

This female streamer also paused her own live broadcast and plunged into Jiang Siming's live stream.

"Wow! I just came from Er Ke's place, she fell for it too?"

"Uh-oh, Xiaosufei's live stream also succumbed. Other female streamers, hold on!"

"Ming God is like a goddess harvester! He's only been on Douyu for a few days, and a bunch of female streamers are mesmerized by him."

"Xiaosufei, you gotta hold on!"Because everyone wanted to hear the original version of 'Trotting Horse', the online audience in Room 99999 had already reached over 6 million, with popularity breaking over 20 million.

Back when Chen Yifa almost secured her position as the top streamer on Douyu just by covering 'Fairy Tale Town'.

If she hadn't made her own troubles, she'd undoubtedly still be the top streamer on Douyu.

Now Jiang Siming had written his own song, 'Trotting Horse', not only the original version but sang it so well. It's hard not to become popular.

When Jiang Siming returned with the guitar, there was a bit of oil at the corner of his mouth. He sneaked a piece of braised pork while grabbing the guitar...

"Ready, here it comes."

With that, Jiang Siming started playing the melody of 'Trotting Horse' again.

The familiar tune silenced the currently most popular live stream room; everyone was too captivated to send barrage messages.

"The rain outside has stopped,

The lights inside are still on,

Counting your indifference,

Playing with loneliness,

After a long time, I finally raised my head to look,

You were walking so slowly on the other side,

Leaving me in a dilemma between dozing and reality..."

After the song ended, the room flooded with virtual gifts.

Emperor [Dumb Little Sister] sent 10 super rockets to [Ming]'s live stream room!

Emperor [Dumb Little Sister]: So good, so good, too good, Brother Ming, yaaay~

Emperor [Little Tuantuan] sent 10 super rockets to [Ming]'s live stream room!

Emperor [Little Tuantuan]: Little Brother Ming, I'm your crazy fan, la la la~

With so many gifts pouring in, Jiang Siming couldn't keep up and could only collectively thank everyone.

"I promised to sing two songs, and I won't break my word."

The audience was thrilled. They could enjoy another round; they hadn't tired of the song even after listening to it for two days.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Siming decided not to sing 'Trotting Horse' again.

"The next song is also my original, it's called 'A Solo in Paris.' Hope you like it."
