Surprise! The Supposed Talent Show Was Actually–?!

Chapter 237 - Extra – Making It Public

The entire team was jubilant when White Moonlight made it into the top four in the Star League finals.

Caesar had drawn their opponent for the semi-finals, and they’d managed to perfectly avoid R-Code and Floating City, encountering instead the Star Emperor Team that had also surprisingly made it into the semi-finals. During the game, Star Emperor’s King of Hearts played desperately in the c-position, but they still lost against the White Moonlight Battle Team who were in high spirits.

The final game was White Moonlight vs Floating City.

The White Moonlight team’s entire staff were in a good mental state, even if they were ultimately defeated 0-3.

The fireworks and lights on the podium were brilliant and gorgeous as the champion and runner-up teams shook hands.

A retired player who was in charge of providing commentary expressed, “White Moonlight’s battle team has great potential. Even in the final three games just now, they were playing better and better with each game.”

In the next year, White Moonlight was no longer in the top four.

In the year after that, White Moonlight fought their way back into the finals and encountered the Floating City team on the battlefield that represented the highest event of the survival shows––

This time, White Moonlight won 3:2 in a reverse sweep, interrupting Floating City’s road to five consecutive championships.

The Star Net exploded.

The front page headlines of both online and paper media were all discussing this epic survival show battle. Wu Jin, White Moonlight’s ‘Final competition BO5 commander’, and Floating City Captain Wei Shi, the ‘man on the pedestal’ were both pushed to the forefront of high traffic articles and magazine covers––the collision between two power players.

For a time, a certain type of paper media that had been on the downturn for a long time in the survival show circle was suddenly bought out by a small group of fans!

Even the harshest commentators were full of praise for White Moonlight Battle Team’s performance. After all, nobody would slander the victors, “The Floating City Team has been the champion for four consecutive years. There is no doubt that everyone covets their throne and is studying their playing methods. However, out of all of them, only the White Moonlight Battle Team was successful. If Zoe’s command restrains conventional teams, then Wu Jin’s logical and meticulous actuarial style of command is a ‘miracle soldier’. Wu Jin perfectly cut apart the Floating City Battle Team’s formation, directly attacking the biggest weakness of this single core team...”

“I’m still in awe of the Wei Shi standing on the pedestal, but now, the dragon that was clinging to the throne has been cut down, their group and their regime is fragmented, and there has been a change in power. There will be new changes in the league moving forward.”

Azure Edge, Wu Jin’s personal forums.

<Does everyone remember the Little Witch who was demoted to the secondary team back then?> This was the post that had been pushed all the way to the front of the page. Fans sighed and lamented; looking back, they had already accompanied Little Witch for six years.

Six years wasn’t short, but it also wasn’t long. Many of the mama fans were already taking their sons and daughters with them to watch Little Witch on the screen. Some people would complain from time to time about how they could only watch the game in children’s mode when watching the competition with their children.

The Little Witch on the screen had grown into a Big Witch who could stand up on his own. The basic skills that he’d lacked during his training period had been made up for, and now, Wu Jin was one of the best close combat professional players in the Azure competition.

At the same time, the number of girlfriend fans and wife fans in Wu Jin’s fan group had also increased.

He was gentle, handsome, had a high EQ, and was so powerful he was off the charts. Who wouldn’t like White Moonlight’s contestant Wu Jin?!

Over the past six years, the Scarf CP fans had been equally persistent.

Rumors about Wei Shi retiring had been circulating rampantly through the Star Net. The Floating City captain was still playing, but he would occasionally stay out of the game and give opportunities to the rotation players. When it came to Wei Shi, the fans were basically watching each game as if it were the last game, feeling like they’d gained a game every time he played.

“Ahhhhhhh my life is complete!! White Moonlight won the championship! Little Witch is enacting domestic violence against God Wei!”

“I’m crying from watching, I followed them from the Crosson Show all the way until now, this is too great! I love the false positioning photo on <Survival Weekly> the best. Little Witch and God Wei shook hands, and from the side, it looked like the new king leaned forward and his forehead brushed against the old king’s.”

“It’s so warm, I’m crying. Are these two people finally showing their love on the stage??”

By now, the mama fans from back then had watched Wu Jin and Wei Shi ‘show their love’ for a full six years.

Aside from the Crosson Show lover’s card instance, the Versailles ball, and team activities, the two of them would attend each other’s music festival and competition appearances. Not only that, six months after the Scarf CP made their debut, fans had directly dug something out––back then, the first support vote that Wei Shi had received on the Crosson Show had been cast by Wu Jin.

Of course it was Wu Jin. Other than Wu Jin, who else would use the same dazed little snow leopard image as a profile picture?

“Did I get knocked dizzy by sugar? This kind of standard plot that would show up in a love story actually appeared in this magical reality? Ahhhhhhh I’m going to explode with this ship!”

And then, this magical reality continued.

Wu Jin and Wei Shi were photographed buying handheld wraps and having dinner together several times.

The official PR departments never clarified. The fans and media had all acquiesced that they were ‘brothers who had a good relationship’. Although, there were many people who had ‘good brotherly relationships’ with Wu Jin; if professional players were caught on camera eating handheld wraps, there was an 80-90% percent chance that a Wu Jin would also be standing nearby, gnawing on a wrap.

If eating wraps together didn’t mean anything, then ‘traveling together’ was enough to cause a stir in the fan circles.

When had the number one war god in the entire survival show world Captain Wei ever traveled together with anyone else?

Not only that, Wei Shi’s Star Blog was barren. Other than advertisements and forwarding for friends, the rest was filled with likes for Wu Jin. He clicked like for Wu Jin’s MVP, forwarded his new album, clicked like for the comment that praised Wu Jin’s participation in a cross-industry hip-hop competition...

Wei Shi, a ruthless Little Witch ‘like’ clicking machine.

Wu Jin’s main account was under the control of the PR department and didn’t show much formal interaction with Wei Shi. However, the White Moonlight assault player’s alt account followed an immortal photo editing support station account that frequently released images of Captain Wei...

The fans were anxious and stressed.

Little Witch, you don’t check your own support station, and you don’t follow the Scarf support station, but you follow God Wei. Do you not even want to see yourself?!

Wu Jin and Wei Shi never paid attention to ‘avoiding suspicion’ in front of the camera.

They were too calm, to the point where even fans couldn’t tell whether this sugar was true or not. However, no matter what, the past six years had been enough to make countless CP fans show their old auntie smiles. Between their hard work or studies, there was cuteness and sweetness that bubbled out like soap bubbles.

The year after Wu Jin won the championship, Floating City beat R-Code 3:1 and reached the top again.

In early Spring, Wei Shi officially announced that he would change from a starter position to a rotation player.

This was a legend in the survival show industry who would never be removed from its history. Within ten minutes after the news broke out, it quickly rushed to the number one hot search position across the entire Star Net.

The audience, fans, and media were all caught unprepared, and the industry was in an uproar. Soon, the first media article came out, “Based on Contestant Wei Shi’s strength, playing for another two, three, or even ten years wouldn’t be a problem. However, don’t forget that the Floating City Team is still a well-deserved top team even without Wei Shi...”

After all, Wei Shi had more important things to do.

After seven years of vigorous development in the tourism and biological industries, Floating City was about to usher in a second industrial transformation. There were many things that had to be done.

Early summer. Wei Shi was photographed by passers-by at the entrance to the White Moonlight Building.

The fans: Simply blinding!

Beside him was Wu Jin, Zoe, and Caesar.

Some viewers expressed that there should really be nothing going on between Wu Jin and Wei Shi. If there really was anything, his teammates wouldn’t be showing such a bland response...

At the bottom of the White Moonlight Building.

Zoe scrolled through two Star Blogs, then closed his terminal.

Bland response––ha. They’d gotten used to it a long time ago!

The White Moonlight Battle Team would have an away game against Silver Thread Roll the next day. After Wu Jin finished training, he was preparing to return to live at home. After all, his place was close to the stadium, and he could also help the company save on hotel accommodation fees.

Wei Shi happened to be free that day, so he’d driven over to pick Wu Jin up.

Before leaving the company, the two of them went to White Moonlight’s HR department, scaring the team manager into showing up immediately, afraid that Wei Shi would try to snatch Wu Jin away for the Floating City Team.

Fortunately, Wu Jin was just going to the HR department to update his player file.

The manager was finally relieved.

The suspension car drove the two of them home.

At the same time, White Moonlight’s Wu Jin, and Floating City’s Wei Shi’s public player information cards were updated and refreshed in the same second.

Wu Jin: Married.

Wei Shi: Married.

The media: “......!!!”

The survival show audiences: “......#&（@#￥!!!”

In the instant before calls and messages rushed in, Wu Jin shut down his terminal communication function temporarily and smiled as he looked at Wei Shi.

The suspension car stopped by the log cabin that provided shelter from the rain.

The small robot cleverly went out the door and built a small robot cabin for itself nearby.

Inside the house, Wu Jin took a post-battle shower.

Wei Shi, who’d finished washing up, was sitting on the bed reading a novel on his terminal.

Wei Shi basically never read novels.

Except for this one.

<Young Emperor’s Secret Love: I became his mysterious fiancee>

––Real people reject KY, ignore politics, and focus on pure YY. Sample chapter available for the public: That night, the Emperor arbitrarily took me away, and removed his mask in front of me...

Wu Jin: “......”

The website had just gone through a 15 day uplift last month, after which it had automatically recommended novels that ‘your friends are reading’ to the flow of updates on the terminal home page. After <Young Emperor’s Secret Love> had been recommended to him, Wei Shi had taken less than 30 seconds to find the Wu Jin who ‘chased novel updates’.

Wu Jin had tried hard to explain, “I’m not, I didn’t... ahhhh I clicked into this novel six years ago!”

There was thumping on the bed.

Little Witch was rolled over forcibly.

The audio reader for the book automatically read out loud, “The King was so overbearing, firmly shackling me beneath his body...”

Wu Jin was embarrassed, “If you want to do it, just do it. Can we not have this thing play on in the background––”

Wei Shi kissed the back of his neck and expressed that this audio book was quite good, “Continue.”

At 11 o’clock in the evening, because he had a competition the next morning, Wu Jin went to sleep according to an elementary student’s schedule.

Wu Jin was completely exhausted, lying there soft and loose on the bed.

Wei Shi turned off the lights, opened up his terminal and Star Blog, and settled in by Wu Jin’s side.

Wu Jin flipped over and placed a leg over Wei Shi’s body, “The two of us can be regarded as having made it public, right?” After saying this, he giggled foolishly for a while, then happily went to sleep.

The next day, White Moonlight played against Silver Thread Roll.

Thin Water wanted to express that winning or losing didn’t matter. After all, regardless of whether they won or lost, the media’s focus wouldn’t be on Silver Thread Roll...

After the game, the entertainment media flocked over.

Wu Jin communicated with the stage manager. The stage manager understood the situation and stated over the microphone: The post-game interview should focus on the game. If there are any other questions, they can be asked later. Today, a former captain of a certain wild card team also specifically came to watch the game...

The noise level in the arena exploded.

Was it Wei Shi? Had Wei Shi come, too?! Yesterday, the two of them had announced that they were married at the same time, and they were still up there on the hot search. Countless media were rushing over to write about this...

Wu Jin was as relaxed as ever.

When it came to him and Wei Shi, he wanted to wait until the big boss was there before announcing it again.

After the interview, Wu Jin walked out of the contestant channel. Wei Shi was waiting for him at the other end.

Wu Jin reached out, and the equally gun callused hand took the initiative to hold Wei Shi’s hand. He couldn’t wait to pull his partner out of the shadows in front of countless cameras and spotlights.

The sun was just right.

The media fell silent for two seconds, then surged forward in a frenzy.

Wei Shi subconsciously wanted to block in front of Wu Jin and accept the microphone, but his actions were preempted by Wu Jin.

Wu Jin: “Yes, we’re married. It’s been some time... thank you for your blessings.”

Wu Jin smiled brightly in front of the cameras, “Who confessed first––it was me.”

“Who proposed––it was him.”

Wei Shi turned his face to the side.

The man’s gaze met Wu Jin’s squarely, his eyes focused. Wu Jin turned back, his actions gentle and flowing.

Wu Jin didn’t give Wei Shi any opportunity to discuss who had confessed first. Even if the big boss wanted to refute it, he could also prove that back then in the R-Code Base, it had definitely been him who’d fallen for Wei Shi first.

The media surrounding the two were in a hurry to record, release photos, and publish articles.

Wu Jin had changed into a white t-shirt after the game. His entire body was dressed in simple colors, making the bullet around his neck even more conspicuous.

Off-screen.

Azure Blade Survival Show Forums.

The wedding announcement between these two kings who stood at the peak of the survival show world struck with the momentum of a thunderbolt.

It was a mess everywhere, and the Scarf CP forums had exploded directly.

“––Ahhhhhhhh my heart can’t stand it!”

“––I fricken noticed this a long time ago! But now that the time has really come, I’m so excited that I want to cry!”

“––Like I said, bullets are an engagement token in Floating City. How long has Little Witch been wearing the bullet? It must’ve been back during the Crosson Show. You two really know how to hide!!”

“Choosing to announce it now, it should be because God Wei has stepped down as a starter. Tsk! Is God Wei declaring his sovereignty before retiring because he’s afraid that others will covet Little Witch?”

“Little Witch & God Wei, mama loves you! Please be happy forever!”

After these friends on the forums finally calmed down, the owner of these subforums finally showed up.

On the Crosson Show Scarf subforums and the Azure Edge Scarf subforums, they both deleted and updated a line of text.

They met in the Crosson Show, fought shoulder to shoulder across the Azure sea of stars. They were a matching pair of swords, sharing glory together––the Scarf CP dedicated forums, discussing real people allowed.

Juurensha: Awwwwwww. (Also the little robot knows it’s going to get sexiled so often hahahaha)

xiin: wasn’t that the most satisfying ‘going public’ ever? i loved watching Wu Jin grow up step by step. to me, in this chapter, he’s gained a maturity and confidence he didn’t have before.
