Chapter Ch232.1 – Extra – White Moonlight 2

“White Moonlight adjusted their starting lineup for the first time after losing three consecutive rounds in the mid-season games. The new assault commander Wu Jin was transferred down to the secondary team, and veteran Mercedes will fill in the vacancy. It’s reported that White Moonlight’s ‘retirement recruitment’ is aiming to fill a gap in the team’s experience with a veteran general. The next White Moonlight away game against Azure People will start in two days…”

Azure Blade Survival Show Forums.

This sudden announcement seemed to incite a carnival of venting. The screen was filled with ‘great’, ‘demoted after the debut 666’ and other unbridled comments.

It wasn’t until the moderator banned a number of extreme haters that a few objective comments finally surfaced.

“To be fair, Wu Jin’s command style is very novel, and the Azure competition zone needs a new play style. However, it’s true that Contestant Wu and White Moonlight’s existing configuration’s compatibility isn’t very high.”

“They’re using an old veteran? Not a new substitute? I personally think that White Moonlight is keeping a spot open for Contestant Wu, and whether or not he can make his way back to the first team will depend on himself. I’m optimistic. Wu Jin isn’t the only problem in the small White Moonlight group. White Moonlight’s move is an attempt to create different training methods for each of the four players. Zoe, Caesar, and Wen Lin will be led with veteran generals like Chen Xiran and Mercedes. Wu Jin, who has a distinctive personal style, will be going to the secondary team to find his own rhythm…”

Early morning.

Wu Jin appeared at White Moonlight second team’s breakfast table, and the several teenagers there all stood up nervously.

The current head of the secondary team, their vice-captain, was flustered as he closed off his terminal where he was browsing through the forums, his face red as he greeted Wu Jin. Wu Jin had debuted in fourth place in the previous Crosson Show, and he was the assault commander for White Moonlight’s main team. His status was much higher than any of theirs.

However, just now, there was a giant brawl in the public opinion area of the forums, making this vice-captain of the second team’s eyes flutter around out of fear that he’d offend Wu Jin if he said a single word out of place––

Wu Jin smiled as he greeted them, then grabbed a wrap for himself.

The second team was generally younger, and the vice-captain was only 19. The two main players were 17 and 18, and all of them were fresh faced teenagers. The original secondary team’s team captain and command position were competing in the Crosson Show and aiming for debut positions at this time, so the command position was currently vacant.

On the opposite side of the table, the teenagers didn’t dare to speak. After a series of questions and answers led by Wu Jin, the atmosphere finally gradually grew lively.

“Brother Wu’s here to play command, which means we finally don’t have to be beaten anymore!”

“Last year, we were suppressed and beaten by Jingyi’s secondary team, then this year, our captain ran off to the Crosson Show. Fortunately, Brother Wu came!”

“Brother Wu, don’t worry about what they say online––”

The teenagers all shrunk their heads into their necks at the same time and glared at the person who’d opened his mouth.

This was the one thing that couldn’t be mentioned!

The vice-captain swallowed hard and looked at Wu Jin.

The Wu Jin in front of him was a little taller than he’d been in the Crosson Show. His arms and legs had grown out, and it was unknown if he’d just gotten thinner, or if he’d grown up, but his chin was a bit sharper, and when he listened to the younger generation speak, Wu Jin’s eyes were focused. He occasionally nodded slightly, appearing both skilled and reliable.

Wu Jin said mildly, “Because of my own personal reasons, a portion of the audience in the next competition round will be there to pick apart the secondary team’s mistakes.”

“So,” Wu Jin smiled, free and easy, “Let’s work hard together.”

The vice-captain breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hard.

The newly arrived Wu Jin was very easy to get along with, very different from what the haters were claiming, saying that ‘he acted like a prima donna’ and ‘competed for positions with Zoe’… Also, Wu Jin was almost the same age as them, making it easy for them to play together.

In the next second, the vice-captain was suddenly excited.

Wu Jin finished his wrap and projected up a dense set of configuration research notes from his terminal. Each player’s position selection, strengths and weaknesses were listed out one by one.

The vice-captain sucked in a breath of cold air.

All the notes were handwritten, detailing matches from one year ago all the way up to their fight yesterday against Dolma’s secondary team. Notes from their replays were also included; was this a summary that Wu Jin had made himself? How long had Wu Jin been transferred over from the first team to the secondary team? This person was simply crazy, did he not sleep at all last night––

Wu Jin: “The next game is in two days.”

“As the commander, I will try my best to adapt myself to the team as fast as possible. I won’t delay your rest and training time, and starting from this morning, I hope to spend an hour communicating one-on-one with each of you.”

The several teenagers nodded one after another. They had no objection at all. According to their leader’s original plan, they’d first let Wu Jin settle in, then take him to visit the dormitories, then go for a walk with the coach. They hadn’t thought that Wu Jin would sweep in, full of energy.

Wu Jin nodded, then said sincerely, “Thank you.”

It was him who’d been inserted into the secondary team temporarily, so he should be the one saying thank you.

One hour later, the first player walked out of the conference room that Wu Jin had taken over. He described excitedly to his teammates, “He defeated me in close combat with three moves. The main team’s assault position really isn’t the same…”

Immediately after, their next player, a scout, went inside. After that, the next player went in.

At 2PM, the secondary team’s coach stepped into the training room. He was just about to complete the task that Lin Jue had entrusted him with and introduce Wu Jin to the team, but he suddenly discovered that this little commander had already integrated himself into the team.

Training was over.

The coach sent a message to Lin Jue, “Your Little Witch is amazing. If he continues mixing in for another week, the secondary team will be willing to call him captain. He did a position analysis, and also did a pre-match analysis. Not only can he do the data, he can also draw pies in the skies for your secondary team! Now, this group of little guys are all so excited it’s like they’re on drugs… Who taught him this?”

At night.

Wu Jin finished washing up and started watching a video replay of the secondary team’s game under the incandescent lamp.

His terminal vibrated slightly and a Star Blog notification popped up, a special follow push notification.

Meanwhile. Azure Edge, Wu Jin’s personal board.

Under the page with the White Moonlight small assault position banner, the forum content was already so choked with gunpowder it was like a miasma.

There were haters who used Wu Jin’s theme song to satirize him, and there were poison fans from the Floating Team fighting up front. The CP of a top player had to be another top player, and Contestant Wei’s 27 consecutive wins in Floating City Team had become the ‘confidence’ they were using to humiliate the Scarf Fans. There were also poison fans who were demanding that Scarf give way to the new ‘Orange Wei’.

The moderator vigorously implemented a series of bans.

Contestant Wu Jin’s highlights clip consisting of his five highlights during the mid season was brought out again.

“Firstly, he’s no worse than anyone else. Secondly, he made his way up from the Crosson debut to his position as a White Moonlight commander on his own strength. Thirdly, some people might not be willing to wait for him, but others are.”

Star Blog.

The White Moonlight Battle Team’s adjustments were like a pot of boiling hot water, stirring up countless different public opinions.

The attention given to professional survival show players was much higher than that of trainees, and the composition of the audience and fans was more complex. In the past, survival show fans might fight all the way to bitter death just because of the color of the support signs, the font size of the starter list, or the order of cheers in the arena. Wu Jin’s transfer stirred up not only the White Moonlight fans, but also the Crosson fans and the powerful Floating City team fans.

Just as the Orange Wei CP was ferociously suppressing the Scarf CP, and Scarf resolutely refused to back down, the other side abruptly fell silent.

Wu Jin’s little support station sister quickly asked what had happened in the group, “What happened to them––”

Someone sent out a screenshot.

Little Orange of the Floating City Battle Team had directly shown up to stop his fans. The power of having the key role in a CP come out to tear apart his own CP left people struck dumb with awe.

“……” Wu Jin’s support station sister was in a complicated mood. Did Floating City Team not manage the image of its own players? Although she didn’t ship Orange Wei, that Little Orange was really nothing good! Not only did he send out cat videos every day, ignoring their main sponsor Floating City’s advertisements, now, he’d actually shown up to tear into his own support station sisters…

However, Little Witch and Little Orange seemed to have a good relationship.

Wait a minute, it was enough for you guys to know that they had a good relationship. Little Orange, what do you mean, posting on your Star Blog saying that you want to be Little Witch’s cat––

A few minutes later.

@Floating City Team-Little Orange was finally banned from speaking by the Floating City management team. Then, the Scarf CP fans suddenly boiled up with excitement––

Wei Shi had also sent out a Star Blog post.

This person had only sent out three Star Blog posts in total. The first two had been automatically forwarded by the system.

“#Crosson Show# I am Crosson Show’s trainee, Wei Shi. Please support me!” This had been sent out a year ago.

“#Floating City Battle Team# I am Azure Cosmos competition zone’s registered player Wei Shi, #3019 mid-season professional league# Please stay tuned.” This was one month ago.

The last post.

Wei Shi: “@White Moonlight Battle Team-Wu Jin See you in the Star League Competition.”

The Scarf CP fan group.

The fans were dancing in ecstasy! Candy, candy! This was some perfectly timed, super milky white rabbit milk candy! The conditions to enter the Star League Competition were harsh, but each competition zone’s finalists were selected from the mid-season games.

God Wei said, ‘See you in the Star League Competition’, which meant that he was 100% certain that Wu Jin would return to White Moonlight’s professional team. It also meant that he completely believed that White Moonlight could obtain a position in the finals!

White Moonlight Battle Team, second team team base.

Wu Jin closed his terminal.

Then, he placed his head on the pillow and rolled around happily.

There were a few official support pieces of the Floating City Team’s captain stuck up above the bed. The glossy imitation paper screen showed moving images of Wei Shi drawing a sword on his 23rd consecutive victory.

Just last night, the big boss had used two handheld wraps as a threat and forced him to stick up the support poster over the bed of his makeshift dormitory!

At this time, Wu Jin took advantage of the fact that Wei Shi wasn’t there and lay down on the bed, boldly lifting up his foot and stepping down on the big boss’s heroically raised sword––

His terminal lit up slightly.

Wu Jin was excited as he connected and chatted with his partner over the video call. They talked about Floating City, about White Moonlight, about Wei Yan’s new magazine cover, about the sale of the new broad-spectrum drug for the genetically modified…

Wu Jin finally yawned wide enough to reach the sky.

The terminal screen dimmed down slowly, and the camera turned around. Wei Shi suddenly spoke up, “You stepped on my poster again.”

“!!” Wu Jin quickly put his foot back down and quibbled, “You look handsome, so I kicked it a few times, what’s wrong with that! …”

Wei Shi calmly expressed that he would go and get himself a Wu Jin support poster.

Wu Jin cheered, “My support posters are all from the mid-season. They’re not worth anything now.”

Wei Shi: “It’s fine. I’ll hold onto them, wait for you to come back, then sell them at a higher price.”

Wu Jin was preparing to say goodbye and go to sleep, “Enough already, what a huge loss!”

Wei Shi’s lips curved, “No, it’ll be a steady gain.”
