[Impressed_Irene]: Chen Ge has really made it big—he actually got direct access to the closed beta!
[Hyped_Harry]: Chen Ge, Chen Ge, it's 7v7! Are you going to stir things up?
[Migrating_Mike]: Raise a paw if you came from Max's stream!
[Paw_Pete]: Paw raised! Paw raised!
[Frustrated_Frank]: Damn it, Max is pretty diligent about sending out holy grail drops, but he hasn't updated any alternate costumes! Do I lack those drops? Seriously!
[Reality_Check_Rita]: It's as if you can even summon the Servants who HAVE alternate costumes. I've noticed very few Masters can actually summon them.
[Crying_Carl]: Damn it, I'm tearing up
[Analytical_Amy]: I feel like this online mode is very different from story mode
[Excited_Eddie]: Indeed, but I feel like this is MORE interesting!
[Supportive_Sally]: Chen Ge! Go for it!
Compared to Maverick's stream—which was currently just a black loading screen—Chen Ge's chat was clearly much more affectionate.
Everyone's attitude toward Chen Ge was like that of fans supporting an underdog idol.
It felt like watching a neighborhood kid who'd grown up and was now ready to take on the world.
Looking at the barrage of supportive comments, Chen Ge stiffly responded and put the VR helmet on his head.
"Thank you to 'Wants_To_Lick_Chen_Ge's_Stinky_Foot' for sending 100 Heartbeat Blind Boxes. So... that's it, I'm going to start the game now. Thank you all for your support. I will do my best."
It could only be said that Chen Ge still had a lot to learn about smooth streamer talk.
And just like previous joint streams, to prevent spoilers from chat comments, all streamers were prohibited from displaying live chat during gameplay.
So after greeting everyone, Chen Ge entered the FA interface.
Unlike the barren ancient battlefield background of the Fuyuki interface, this one featured a blonde girl in a white dress standing in a golden field.
Of course, those who had played the story knew this was Jeanne d'Arc.
Chen Ge didn't linger on the menu screen.
After purchasing a "Lucky Flintlock" with a holy grail drop in the shop, he entered the room number in the friend interface and joined the game lobby that had already been prepared.
That's right—although Max really wanted to convert all Bond Craft Essences into Servant Holy Relics, some things simply couldn't be adapted.
For example, the Count of Monte Cristo's Bond CE was the prison where he'd been held.
Damn it, how could that be made into a functional Holy Relic?
Therefore, depending on the Servant, the available Holy Relics in the shop varied.
More or less, they all had certain functionality.
At the same time, considering practicality and versatility, some Servants had multiple Holy Relic options—just like Captain Drake.
She had two Holy Relics available:
The Golden Ship's Rudder — Could be placed directly on any item to forcibly transform the target into her mount, granting control for 30 minutes. A very practical utility item.
The Lucky Flintlock — What Chen Ge had just purchased. Two pistols that, as long as magical energy was provided, had infinite ammunition.
Chen Ge believed this Lucky Flintlock would bring him luck.
Combined with Kenneth's template—which he'd be using as his playable character—he'd maximized both melee and ranged combat potential.
"Eh, is that Chen Ge?"
"Holy crap, Maverick!"
"What a coincidence, you're also playing Holy Grail War!"
Chen Ge grinned.
"How is it, Maverick? How was your hemorrhoid surgery?"
"Very good! Can't you see how clear my eyes are?"
Maverick struck a pose.
"How about the child your brother had?"
"8 pounds, 7 ounces."
"Hahaha, that's really great! What a coincidence."
"Who says it isn't?"
It could only be said that Max's game truly evolved day by day.
Before, when creating a room in the friend interface, only a classic matching screen appeared.
But this time, when Chen Ge entered the room, he literally entered a room.
The door opened, and a round table stood in the center, divided into two halves by red and black colors.
There were seven seats on each side—clearly intended for players to choose factions before the game started.
Chen Ge had arrived relatively early. Including him, there were only three people in the entire room.
So the moment Chen Ge showed his face, Maverick excitedly rushed forward and began a brotherly handshake.
And the brotherly respect between the two once again earned a round of mockery from the viewers.
[Watching_Wendy]: You two sure know how to chat
[Awkward_Andy]: When you two don't feel awkward, it's US who feel awkward
[Suggestion_Steve]: I feel like you two shouldn't sit next to each other. You should sit OPPOSITE each other—that would be more interesting
[Strategic_Sally]: Stabbing each other in the back is also an unavoidable part of the Holy Grail War
[Curious_Carl]: By the way, who's that little cutie over there? How can a child be streaming?
Seemingly noticing the chat's attention shifting, Chen Ge and Maverick followed the comments and looked at the shorter figure sitting at the Black table.
After all, today's stream was essentially a full face-reveal event for everyone.
And this clearly shorter person in front of them hit a blind spot in both Maverick and Chen Ge's knowledge.
"Hello there, little sister!"
"I'm a boy."
"..."
Yes, this "little sister" was none other than William.
And while saying this might seem harsh, some people were simply born with androgynous features.
Not to mention William's bright eyes, clear complexion, and flowing black hair.
When he admitted he was a boy, it caused many of the viewers who had been howling appreciatively to have their worldviews shattered.
Fortunately, having undergone the baptism of Astolfo, they weren't too greatly impacted.
Conversely, the female viewers revealed their fangs at that moment.
[Fangirl_Fiona]: A SHOTA?! EVEN BETTER!
[Protective_Patty]: Must protect this precious child!
[Dangerous_Diana]:ara ara intensifies
In short, the scene was too chaotic to describe in detail.
After some communication and confirming each other's identities, the three of them immediately formed a united front.
After all, the bonds forged in the previous Holy Grail War were right there.
And just as the three had decided to all sit on the Black side, it was as if some switch had been pressed—
The doors in the game room began opening one after another.
Immediately after, many familiar faces appeared.
Little Cat. Danny. Professor. Andrew. Northern Star. Alex. The Marble.
It could be said that heroes had gathered.
However, there was also a discordant element mixed in.
That's right—it was Chloe, a streamer who'd had a major scandal exposed recently.
She actually appeared here.
However, an even bigger bombshell was yet to come.
As if intentionally waiting to make a dramatic entrance, the newly popular streamer Victor took the last Red side seat amidst the cheers of his dedicated fanbase.
At this point, the lobby was full.
Black Faction (7 players):
Maverick
Chen Ge
William
Little Cat
Danny
Professor
Andrew
Red Faction (7 players):
Northern Star
Alex
The Marble
Chloe
Victor
And two others
The round table glowed as all fourteen seats filled.
A Holy Grail War concerning traffic, slaughter, love, and justice...
Had officially begun.
[Popcorn_Pete]: This is going to be WILD
[Drama_Dana]: Chloe vs everyone? Oh this is going to be MESSY
[Hyped_Henry]: LOVE AND JUSTICE! LET'S GOOOOO
The screen faded to black.
And then—Romania loaded in.
