Chapter: 180
She also created a new account in the game Wasteland a few months ago, knowing that it could get her more attention. She spent at least two hours a day playing the game to level up quickly.
“It is just a game. Why are people so hung up about it?"
Bill furrowed his brows, thinking that the younger generation was wasting so much time and money in this game. Of course, at his age, he wouldn't be interested and invested in e-sports.
“Dad, this is not just any regular game! Don't you know that the top e-sports players are as popular as the A-list stars? All of them have millions of fans and followers!" Vivian explained. In fact, she was a little jealous of Cheryl because of her popularity.
Just now, during the broadcast, a reporter mentioned that although Cheryl had just joined the Yeez Team recently, her Facebook followers had already soared to five million.
Vivian was fully aware that she only reached this degree of fame because of two main things. First was because she was a member of the Yeez Team. And then it was also because she was a female professional player. Usually, e-sports was a guy‘s game. So, when people saw a girl playing, it would instantly attract their attention. Moreover, since the Yeez Team was famous on its own, it was no doubt that Cheryl would immediately gain a Lot of fans around the world.
When the reporter asked why Cheryl chose to be a professional player of Wasteland, she answered with an alluring smile, “Well, I like playing all kinds of video games since I was a child. My parents even joked that I might be a boy trapped in a girl's body. Ha-ha!”
In front of the camera, Cheryl appeared to be charming and lovely. Her every wink and smile would easily win the hearts of the boys watching.
However, while watching the interview, Julie furrowed her brows and said, "That's strange. I don't remember Cheryl playing any video games when she was young. Instead, she has always been very interested in makeups and beautiful dresses. In fact, when she was still in kindergarten, she already begged me to apply lipstick on her. Why would she say that she was always like a boy?"
After hearing her own words, Julie suddenly shut her mouth and shook her head with a sigh.
She must have understood what was really going on. Times had really changed. In order to fit it, one must conform to what was trending.
Meanwhile, Bill thought of something and smiled. "Vivian, is this game the one you played with Cheryl on the Internet last night?"
"Yes!" In an extremely excited voice, she added, "Last night, I did a live broadcast while playing Wasteland with Cheryl. We only played together for an hour, but I already got tens of thousands of new followers on Facebook! Can you believe that?"
To easily attract the netizens’ attention, Vivian made a straightforward title to her Live stream room: “Playing Wasteland with Cousin Cheryl of the Yeez Team".
While Bill and Vivian were happily chatting, Julie turned to Maria, who was completely ignored.
“Maria, do you also play this game?" Julie asked, trying to sound casual.
"Yes. I used to," Maria answered, not really interested in the TV broadcast.
Julie just nodded, not able to say anything more since she didn't know much about the game as well.
She just felt that her husband and daughter were deliberately alienating Maria, so she took the initiative to at least make some small talk with her.
“Maria, where did you play Wasteland? In that old laptop of yours?" Vivian suddenly joined the conversation.
