The application forms were transferred backstage and the staff began to enter the data.

  When it went on to the team names……

  “What’s this team? Why does it have such a name……”


  “What name?” the colleague beside him asked curiously.

  “Gift Pack of Snacks.”


  “.……” The colleague looked over at the screen and confirmed the name entered was indeed Gift Pack of Snacks. His mouth twitched. “I entered a Big Beauty Cuihua just now…… These people are crazy today. What kind of team names can these be? But in case they may become popular……”


  “Hahaha! If they really become popular, what will their fans call them? Team Snacks? Team Cuihua? Gift pack and beauty?”


  The two laughed as they continued entering data.

  The newly named Team Snacks was now entering the venue for the preliminary contest with Wang Heyang, who showed a face of constipation.

  Ming Shu prevailed over all dissenting views—mainly from Qingqiu Zhong, and managed to choose a great name for their team.

  Wang Heyang also felt that this was a “great” name.

  A funny name……

  He’d better pack up and prepare to recruit new players when the preliminary contest was over.

  “You’re in group 36.” Wang Heyang gave them the game card. “It’s a regular competition system and there are no special requirements.”


  At the preliminary contest, each group comprised ten teams.

  Compared to the first season, the popular Asking Gods now had attracted many players.

  “Isn’t this Old Wang?”


  Wang Heyang turned around.

  “Oh my god…… It’s HS!”


  “Ahhh! My prince is also here!”


  The low sounds of exclamations burst forth from the crowd.

  Team HS which consisted of handsome men and beautiful women was now walking over. The first one they saw was the seeded player, who was our lord male protagonist.

  The male protagonist showed a cold face to the noisy crowd, and some impatience gathered between his eyebrows.

  Tao Zi stood just next to the male protagonist. Her eyes immediately fell on Ming Shu and measured her several times, smiling.

  The man who greeted just now was Ding Lei, Team HS’s manager. He wore a pair of wire-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked very formal.

  Ding Lei pushed his glasses up slightly. “Old Wang, when did your club form such a team? I didn’t hear anything. You really did some good confidential work.”


  Wang Heyang formed a fake smile. “Old Ding, your club is busy, you won’t have time to notice us.”


  Ding Lei and Wang Heyang praised each other officially on the surface just like this for a long time.

  Finally, Ding Lei looked behind Wang Heyang slowly. “Won’t you introduce them?”


  The scene behind Wang Heyang was like this:

  Ming Shu held a bag of potato chips and looked at the others in the team, smiling like a flower.

  Qingqiu Zhong and Jiang Liu were discussing something, smiling very sedately.

  The big Overlapped Moon and Sun just stood there quietly, listening to Qingqiu Zhong and Jiang Liu.

  Yellow Crane Returning West focused on his phone with his head lowered, a scene from which one could just read “a busy boss” on his forehead.

  Tonight’s Moon was looking at them seriously, but…… judging from his empty eyes, he didn’t seem to be with them now.

  Were they the NS Club’s new team players?

  Ding Lei knew none of them.

  He thought NS would find famous people to form the team, but who knew that they would just be a bunch of nobodies?

  “There’s nothing to introduce. We’ll meet in the game then, little cutie,” Ming Shu interrupted Wang Heyang.

  Wang Heyang: “.……” Who was she calling a “little cutie”?

  Tao Zi touched her own neck from the back.

  “Little Peach, does she know you?” Her teammate poked her.

  Tao Zi was also very confounded. “No, I have never met her.”


  “Hahahaha, young girl, you’re funny and bold.” Ding Lei clapped his hands. “You need to play well and stick it out until we meet in the game then.”


  Ming Shu smiled. “If you want to win, just remember you can exchange for the prize with snacks, and we’ll give it to you.”


  Ding Lei’s face darkened.

  Wang Heyang restrained himself from bursting out in laughter. Great, great, this girl was really good at dissing people.

  Ding Lei looked at Wang Heyang. “Old Wang, it’s not easy to lead new players. Do be careful, and watch out for any accidents. You know you’ll be in trouble if any awful mess happens.”


  Wang Heyang maintained his fake smile. “You don’t need to worry about this, Old Ding. Look at you, your hairline has receded again. You’re not like us and you work too hard, but for us, competition second and friendship first. Friendship first!”


  Under Wang Heyang’s smiling gaze, Ding Lei snorted and left with his team.

  The crowd went into another discussion.

  Probably because Ding Lei showed up with his team and came over to talk to them, some people recognized Wang Heyang.

  NS was not some kind of unknown club. Wang Heyang was actually a rather famous boss in the industry.

  “Has NS also formed a team?”


  “How did I not know…… I was thinking of joining them when NS would recruit players.”


  “I don’t know any one of those people……”


  “Me neither……”


  “But they’re all so good-looking. Even the big one; he looks handsome too.”


  “Old Wang just pulls down the average handsomeness level by standing among them.”


  Wang Heyang felt like he was shot through his knee by a cruel arrow.

  “It was Team HS just now, you……”


  Wang Heyang turned back to see his team members who were all focusing on their own business and felt another shot in his heart then.

  He really didn’t want to lose the game and be mocked by Ding Lei again……

  Ding Lei and his team found a place to sit down, but they could still see Wang Heyang vaguely from afar. “Do you know any of them in the team?”


  Everyone shook their heads.

  Ding Lei made a call and ordered his men to do some investigation.

  Soon, Ding Lei got several application forms data.

  The most eye-catching one was Ming Shu’s application form. The name Wind He Rising was very striking.

  Before, their club had contacted her and intended to recruit “him” into Team HS.

  Who knew that she wouldn’t show up on the day of signing. Of course, they had decided not to sign the contract with her at that time, and even if she showed up, there wouldn’t have been any progress. But the key was, she didn’t come on that day!

  Wind He Rising was actually a girl?

  Tao Zi also saw the information and was stunned a little.

  No wonder she smiled at her so weirdly just now……

  Tao Zi stopped Wind He Rising from joining Jintian, but she didn’t expect her to sign with NS.

  Ding Lei continued reading, eyebrows furrowed.

  Wind He Rising was a powerful player for NS to have, but who were the rest of them?

  None of the rest was related to their circle.

  But Lin Hegui? This name…… sounded familiar.

  “Lin Hegui?”


  “Do you know him, A-Jin?” Ding Lei looked at the man.

  Qin Jin stared at the data and didn’t answer until a long while later. “He seems to be my father’s company’s cooperative partner.”


  Ding Lei revealed his surprise and disbelief on his face.

  Lin Hegui looked the same age as Qin Jin—how could he be the Qin family’s cooperative partner? But this name…… was indeed familiar.

  Ding Lei searched it online.

  There were too many search results about Lin Hegui, but no pictures.

  What the hell…… A rich big brother came to play games?

  Did he intend to do a research about the market, purchase the entire Esports circle, then achieve a monopoly?

  “Has NS been sold?” Ding Lei could only think of this possibility.

  “That’s impossible,” Qin Jin said with a poker face.

  “So……” Ding Lei paused. “What do they want to do? Did this big brother come just to play a game?”


  No one responded.

  After a long time, one of the team members said, “Perhaps it’s about realizing a dream?”


  Everyone: “.……”
