In the field, Thin Water suddenly sent out a message, “Gather together to break through their defenses, head toward the altar direction from the flank and avoid attacking. I repeat, avoid attacks.”
Silver Thread Roll’s vice-captain responded over the communication channel, “Got it. Little Thin and Little Ning made mistakes because of their inexperience, but it’s not a big problem…”
Thin Water’s voice was sharp, “They weren’t mistakes.”
In the darkness of the night, the Silver Thread Roll captain forged traces of a reverse escape as quickly as possible, “It’s the high temperature. The five exchanges were all done near the flames. The high temperature, the wind speed and flames all affected the trajectory of the blunderbuss. The two of them couldn’t hit the target, and this was all predicted by White Moonlight.”
“Ning Fengbei was only killed during the second fight, and it happened during the third time for Thin Fire. This proves that the other side tested the two people’s error trajectory prior to eliminating them. When Ning Fengbei shoots, she has the habit of leaning forward and suppressing the gun. Under high temperature conditions with limited vision, Chen Xiran made use of this point to dodge.”
“Only when the commander on the other side is familiar with Thin Fire and Ning Fengbei’s shooting habits would they be able to deliberately create ‘mistakes’.”
The vice-captain was stunned, “Even if they understand the trajectory, anything can happen in high temperatures. Unless the error value was also calculated––”
Thin Water: “He calculated it. White Moonlight’s commander dared to shoot right at the start in order to test out their ballistic error range. All of White Moonlight’s tactics are based on the design of ‘creating mistakes in the trajectory for their opponents’. This time, their command style has changed.”
The four remaining people from Silver Thread Roll gathered together behind the altar.
Thin Water’s voice sank, “It’s a command style based on data modeling.”
“In this round, their commander is Wu Jin.”
In the next half an hour, the Silver Thread Roll who’d lost two people were chased around and intercepted in a survival show of life and death. White Moonlight had been in place for many years, and its management and development ability were all first class, allowing them to take this initial advantage from the earlier stages and snowball it over the next half an hour.
Half an hour later, another person from Silver Thread Roll was eliminated.
At 40 minutes, Thin Water was eliminated, and White Moonlight won the match point game 6:0.
White Moonlight scored their first point in the BO5.
The audience in the stands cheered. Chen Xiran, who’d taken down four kills in the arena, dealing crazy DPS, waved to their fans from beneath the stage.
Backstage. The technician checked over the data, and the MVP beam lit up, finally coming to a stop on Wu Jin’s head. Chen Xiran laughed and rubbed Wu Jin’s shoulders, while Zoe clapped for him.
On the stage. The two commentators marveled, “Perfect, a perfect tactical layout. Using the distorted vision and trajectory errors under high temperature, Silver Thread Roll ‘made mistakes’, and these mistakes were used to destroy them.”
“If our audience members have seen White Moonlight’s previous games, you’ll find that the style and rhythm of this game is completely different from White Moonlight’s previous victories. I’m curious, is this an on-the-spot performance by Contestant Wu Jin, or is it a brand new road that White Moonlight will open up in the future…”
Beneath the stage. Only a few Wu Jin support signs flashed in the stands, but fans of the White Moonlight group all applauded Wu Jin. Regardless of whether or not they won or lost in the end, with this performance, he had completely proven his command ability that brought him back from the secondary team to the first team.
On that end, Arjun was complaining to the young girl beside him, “What is that Lin Jue thinking? Having Little Witch go up and play in the decisive game?! If they lose, Little Witch has to take the blame, if they win… fine, if they win, it’ll be Little Witch proving himself.”
However, this young girl had no time to pay attention to Arjun. She was absorbed in propping her cheek up against her arm, smiling like an old auntie as she looked at the Wei Shi sitting in the next seat.
Wei Shi raised his chin.
His gaze intersected with Wu Jin’s on the stage. The most eye-catching support light card in the audience flashed brightly in his arms.
BO5, fourth game. Zoe was once again the commander for White Moonlight. Thin Water targeted Wu Jin on all fronts, but that gave Zoe and Wen Lin an opportunity to gain the advantage. Finally, Wu Jin used a dagger to die with Ning Fengbei, while Zoe took over the entire field and killed Silver Thread Roll’s vice-captain. White Moonlight won, 6:4.
In the last BO5 game, Silver Thread Roll’s rhythm had been completely disrupted. The other side’s tactics and layout were indecisive, and Thin Water’s command was very restrained.
“It’s a pity.” The commentator sighed, “Silver Thread Roll’s best state is when they master the initiative and go all out to attack. If they don’t have the momentum, they can’t play to their strengths.”
The entire BO5 was over in 5 hours and 22 minutes.
White Moonlight won 3:2 in a reverse sweep.
The contestants walked out of the life-saving capsules, and the audience stood up one after another like the tide.
The microphone was handed to each contestant from White Moonlight in turn.
Mercedes joked, he’d been retired for half a year before being brought back to play games. His son was left with nobody to guide him on his homework, but now, he could finally get his full pension without having to sit at the edge of retirement.
Caesar expressed that he’d been the commander for the fifth game. According to Wu Jin and Zoe’s original words, their opponent’s rhythm was so disrupted that they could fight as they liked. So, Caesar had commanded himself.
Wen Lin, as White Moonlight’s high EQ spokesperson, was responsible for summarizing the past and looking forward to the future. His speech held no flaws as he encouraged viewers to watch Wu Jin’s replay from his game in the secondary league finals last week.
Finally, it was Wu Jin’s turn.
Under the stage lights, the youth who hadn’t yet washed off his totem tattoos accepted the microphone.
This White Moonlight assault and command position had already been sent up into the hot searches several times because of his looks, his debut, and even his demotion after his debut. Now, his face was covered with totems, and he stood up on the stage where he’d last been sent to the secondary team, smiling and revealing his snow-white teeth.
Wu Jin: “Thank you for waiting. I’m back.”
The youth’s right hand came close to his chest as he bowed. His heart beat in his chest as he embraced this familiar, yet unfamiliar stage.
Beneath the stage, applause and cheers broke out for this small MVP.
It was noisy beneath the lights, and all gazes were turned his way.
White Moonlight vs Silver Thread Roll, 3:2 reverse sweep.
After the game, Thin Fire and Ning Fengbei came over to talk to Wu Jin. Ning Fengbei even took a photo with Wu Jin and said that it would make Vera angry enough to squawk. Immediately after, both of them were caught up by Thin Water and dragged back for a review of the game.
In the back, Lin Jue, who’d been watching the broadcast the whole time, stood with his back straight, like a harsh and silent mountain.
Lin Jue turned around and stood at the door, waiting for the young men from White Moonlight to go back together.
That night, a scuffle broke out in the Azure Edge forums once again.
Ming Yao was incredibly angry, but Wu Jin expressed, “The difference between playing well and not playing well is basically in whether there are more haters, or less…”
Beating Silver Thread Roll was a very key game for White Moonlight’s league promotion. As long as they won five more games, they would finally obtain the qualifications to enter the Star League.
According to the words of that assault player from the second team, they would then obtain the qualifications to ‘get beaten up by Floating City Battle Team’.”
After the home team game was over, and the team members’ physical examinations were completed, they packed up and returned to their own base via star ship. By then, it was already late at night. It just happened that the second team had already finished the secondary league competitions, so the entire White Moonlight Entertainment took over a hotpot shop and had an unlimited self-cooked late night dinner.
They were celebrating the first team’s victory and Wu Jin’s return.
Several team members from the secondary team were chatting around the stove, “The Star League will definitely be fun to watch this year. The King of Hearts split from his team, but his contract isn’t up so he still has to fight. He even still managed to get a few MVPs, so the team is now insisting on renewing the contract!”
“Silver Thread Roll lost, but they will likely still enter the League this year. Dolma and Jingyi, too.”
“When it comes to legends, it’s still the Floating City team…”
These words hadn’t been finished when the mouth of the little assault player from the secondary team suddenly dropped open. He was seemingly shocked by something as he stared outside the hotpot shop in a daze.
Their teammate: “What?”
The little assault player: “Wei, weiweiweiwei…”
Their teammate: “???”
The little assault player; “Wei Shi! Floating City Battle Team, Captain, Wei Shi! I’m not seeing things, why did he run over to our battle team to eat a late night meal…”
At the entrance, Caesar pushed open the revolving door, and was followed by a group of people dressed in black who came through one by one. Wei Shi was in the crowd, talking with Wu Jin.
The teammate raised his eyebrows, “There’s no problem there, Captain Lin said that family members will also be reimbursed for the meal.”
The little assault player: “Family?!”
The teammate: “You don’t know? Captain Wei and our Brother Wu were married a long time ago.”
The little assault player: “!!!”
There was a smacking sound. The new young girl commander who’d joined the secondary team’s fingertips trembled, her body emitting soap bubbles like a happy fan. She ended up smacking the golden mushrooms on the plate with the ladle.
After the late night dinner, Wu Jin didn’t get up until noon the next day.
Wei Shi once again tried to do something that couldn’t be put into words, and Wu Jin protested, patting the table, “Timing! What about the timing we agreed on! The fees for this month are already in arrears! There’s no more! Little Witch can’t be used!”
Wei Shi pressed a shallow kiss on the youth’s neck, causing him to tremble. He felt that Little Witch could be used again and pressed him down to bully his body.
The afternoon sun was just right.
One week later, White Moonlight lost to R-Code 1:3.
Two weeks later, White Moonlight won against Dolma and advanced again.
The main section of the Azure Edge forums had found something new to amuse themselves with. White Moonlight made a new official data sheet for Wu Jin. Wu Jin’s dynamic target shooting score broke through 9 rings for the first time.
The Scarf CP rose up again along with the rise of Wu Jin’s reputation. ‘The overbearing captain x beauty of the team next door’ released endless amounts of dog food, and Secretary Qu finished two full fanfiction novels, smiling like a fox as she flipped to the end. She knew that one day, Little Witch would stand side by side with Contestant Wei.
November.
After a one and a half year internship, Zoe officially took up the post as White Moonlight’s captain.
This young captain tattooed a falcon with outspread wings on his arm, just like Lin Jue. It was the team emblem that belonged to White Moonlight, and had been passed on more than a dozen times.
At the end of November, White Moonlight finished fourth in the Azure competition zone and officially gained the qualifications to enter the Star League.
The next spring.
Before the Star League survival competition began, all the teams gathered together in the main arena to take professional photos.
The two teams waiting for the director to call them in were bored, waiting at the entrance.
White Moonlight’s captain Zoe was taking care of the team’s new substitutes, helping them expand their network of contacts. Caesar was following the group, and Wu Jin was behind Caesar.
When it was Caesar’s turn, Caesar slapped his thigh, “Floating City Battle Team, don’t we all know each other!” He casually pulled Red out of the crowd, “This one, he’s my brother!”
From beside them, the Star League stage manager expressed that they still had to go through the process even if they knew each other. He’d cut it into a gag just for them!
So, Wu Jin reached out a hand, “White Moonlight Battle Team, Wu Jin.”
Across from him, Wei Shi also reached out a hand, “Floating City Battle Team, Wei Shi.”
Just then, the door to the main stadium opened.
The director waved his hand, “Go in, go in, all the teams at the back, come in! We’ll do a wide shot––”
The two teams swarmed into the main arena.
The light from the door outlined the silhouettes in the crowd. Two teams that were composed almost entirely of fresh blood gathered together at the entrance to the highest level competition venue in the survival show industry
A story came to an end here.
However, it was also the beginning of a legend.
