Chapter 66 Meeting Black Cutter

He Peiji didn't expect Shu Hua to react this way; the comments section clearly said that the little streamer loved gossip.

Why isn't she eating the melon he's offering her now?

When Uncle Huo told her about his mysterious identity before.

The young streamer clearly seemed quite excited and enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

"You really don't want to know? He's the older brother of that guy you fought with before, the one from the Tao family."

It's the streamer my brother, Xinghai, is a fan of.

Last time we had a PK battle, people sent a lot of gifts.

Aren't you curious?

He Peiji didn't give up and went on to elaborate on the relationship between the Black Cleaver Fragment and this other persona.

It was an attempt to attract Shu Hua's attention.

"Hmm? Tao Tao?" Shu Hua did react, finally remembering why she felt somewhat familiar with this ID.

So he's the female lead's older brother. No wonder.

She had previously visited the female lead's ranking list and must have seen the ID of this Black Cleaver Fragment, so she had a vague impression of it.

He Peiji thought Shu Hua was curious, so he simply stopped keeping her in suspense and started talking.

"Black Cleaver Shard is also a rich second-generation in our circle, but he used to be a professional e-sports player."

He was originally very successful in his career and was said to be quite famous in the e-sports circle.

As a result, he was suddenly called back by his family to inherit the family business.

He retired almost at his peak.

Wow, this is such a common setup for an esports pro.

Shu Hua didn't even realize it. She hadn't been curious before, but now that she'd heard half of it, she was genuinely starting to get curious.

I blurted out, "Oh, that's a real shame."

Anyway, esports is a young person's game, why are you in such a hurry to build your family business?

Can't we wait a few more years?

Why retire at your peak?

I bet there are still a lot of fans trying to summon the spirit right now.

Hearing Shu Hua's question, He Peiji's lips curled up slightly. Hmm, the little anchor has taken the bait.

But my curiosity still got the better of me.

It turns out, the bait given earlier wasn't enough.

He Peiji's voice became a little lazy, "Do you think everyone is as lazy as you are?"

People are meant to play in the e-sports world, and they should also take the initiative to inherit the family business.

It's more accurate to say that retiring at his peak was always part of his plan.

"Wow, there are actually people who are so eager to inherit the family business?"

Shu Hua was puzzled. Aren't people usually forced to return home to inherit the family business?

Although the male protagonists in novels are generally the type who can do anything very well.

Doing a good job doesn't necessarily mean you like it.

This guy doesn't fit the character at all; it's one thing in the real world.

But isn't this supposed to be a fictional world?

Why is this person's image so distorted?

She had previously guessed that this Black Cleaver shard was some kind of world consciousness, an older brother who automatically filled in for the female lead.

When Shu Hua first heard that he was an e-sports player or something, she thought, "I knew it."

This is a typical identity for the male lead's older brother, and he definitely has many fans.

Once the male lead reveals his true identity, it will definitely bring the female lead a surge in popularity.

Isn't this the same old routine?

And because he's already retired, he has a lot of supporters even if he's in a relationship.

Shu Hua bets there will definitely be a spin-off for this scene.

The male lead openly reveals that he is in a relationship, and the female lead is his girlfriend.

At first, many fans went to follow the gossip, and then they found that the female lead was also a good person, so they started shipping them.

Or perhaps a fan bumped into them, took a photo, and started analyzing it.

After discovering the female lead's identity, they ended up shipping her again.

In just a few seconds, Shu Hua had already automatically filled in the blanks in her mind for this older brother's side story.

As a result, the person on the other end of the phone tore up the script.

He Peiji: "His family situation is a bit complicated. If he doesn't inherit the family business, he will be eliminated."

However, he was originally an extremely intelligent person.

It was probably all part of his plan to start out playing esports.

The idea was to lull the competitors into a false sense of security, and then suddenly return to inherit the business.

To catch them off guard.

My brother told me that he used to just watch game live streams.

I don't know why I suddenly started watching the same streamer as him.

My brother had previously suspected that someone else had used his account.

However, my brother said that his account hasn't appeared in Tao Tao's live stream for the past two days.

I suspect it was the same person before; I don't know why I watched it for a few days.

Now I'm back in the gaming section.

Shu Hua initially thought that He Peiji was a calm and methodical person after listening to him.

I heard that Black Cutter didn't go to see the female lead?

Wait a minute, what strange thing suddenly got mixed into the character biography?

"No, wait a minute."

You mean Black Cutter Bro doesn't look at girls anymore... Tao Tao?

Are you too busy, or are you just not going to watch anymore?

Isn't he the one protecting Tao Tao?

Was your brother's information accurate?

There wasn't any personal emotion involved, was there?

Shu Hua suspected that Xinghai was spreading rumors about a potential love rival.

"Huh?" He Peiji didn't know why Shu Hua had become so agitated, but wasn't this logic a bit too illogical?

He can't keep up anymore.

"No, it's just a streamer, why are you getting so worked up?"

How could I not be excited? This is completely different from the plot she wrote!

Shu Hua calmed herself down. "But didn't that Black-Cut Bro give us a lot of gifts before?"

They were doing this and that again, looking like they were there to protect something.

Just like your brother, why did he suddenly stop watching?

Wait a minute, wasn't that what happened when we were playing PvP before?

"I haven't checked there for a few days, your brother is just spreading rumors!"

Shu Hua thought of the evidence, and her voice became a little louder.

He Peiji: "That was my brother who specially invited him over, just to beat you. Who knew that you were with Uncle Huo?"

He hadn't shown up for several days before this.

Moreover, my brother even asked him why he didn't show up.

"She told my brother herself that she's not watching that streamer named Tao Tao anymore."

Shu Hua: "You said it yourself? Really?"

Why did you stop watching? The little girl is so cute.

Is he that busy?

"My daddy's so busy, but he still comes to watch my livestream."

Although He Peiji found the little streamer's persistence a bit strange, he still answered her, wanting to chat with her more.

"My brother and he aren't that close yet, so I didn't ask him about it."

He usually watches games, so I guess he's gone back to watching games.

Let alone saying he's not some kind of guardian elder brother, even if he were.

Isn't it normal for people to leave?

I don't do live streaming much, but I already know this.

Why are you so surprised?

Shu Hua's voice was a little softer, with a hint of inexplicable disappointment or regret, "Okay, this is still the girl's previous record, which can be verified."

You should know that when people smoke, they're guaranteed to hit their target every time.

Basically, after watching for two days, he became someone who protected his older brother.

Regardless of their previous persona or whether they were reckless or not.

When they get to the little girl, they all settle down.

Your brother is the same way.

Isn't it normal for me to be surprised when an exception suddenly appears?

The way Black Cutter acted before made him look like he was going to become a guardian big brother.

In just a few days, it rose to third place on the list, not much different from second place.

He Peiji found it amusing. Was that all the reason?

"Then you're too young. Tao Tao only has a few older brothers."

He Peiji suddenly thought of something, his voice tinged with a hint of excitement, "Since you're so curious, how about I arrange for you to meet Black Cutter, and you can ask him in person?"

"Oh? That won't be necessary."

It's so offensive to keep asking about such private matters.

Shu Hua was genuinely tempted for a moment, but the thought of meeting a stranger immediately extinguished her excitement.

He Peiji coaxed patiently, "Look, isn't he asking you to write an article?"

Just think of it as going to meet a client.

We only chatted casually to avoid awkwardness with the client.

How is that asking about privacy?

Are you right?

Besides, I invited them, so even if they offended me, it's my fault.

It has nothing to do with you, does it?

I'm doing this for my brother's reputation, so you won't doubt me and I'll give you a chance to ask him face to face.

Please consider this a chance for me to clear my brother's name.

"Uh, if that's what you're saying, wouldn't it be slandering your brother if I didn't agree?"

I'm not taking the blame for this.

Shu Hua: Since he's already brought it up, I'll reluctantly be curious.

He Peiji chuckled softly, "Then I'll let you know the time after we make the appointment."

"OK."
