The White Moonlight Team’s last day in Floating City went by quickly.
After Wen Lin achieved his three consecutive wins in the underground survival show, Wu Jin and Zoe both rushed out joyfully from behind the curtain with fireworks in hand.
Their week of training had ended.
When the four of them returned to the White Moonlight building, they needed to not only prepare for the next part of the show, but also pay attention to the upcoming reserve selection for the Stardust Cup.
Wu Jin gnawed at a yoghurt straw and waited in the corridor for the PR team’s assessment. Caesar was currently kicking up a ruckus inside.
White Moonlight’s PR assistant: “You’re about to make your debut. You can’t be a fool all the way to the end...”
Caesar was shouting loudly in protest, “Who’s a fool? Where’s this fool?!”
While waiting for his turn, Wu Jin studied the billboards on the walls.
The slogans that were used to recruit trainees for the Crosson Show had been torn down, revealing the yellowed, previously covered up <Azure Competition Zone White Moonlight’s Top 16> poster.
The date on the poster was June 3013, when the White Moonlight Battle Team had been at its peak. At the time, Blood Pigeon had just retired, and Ying Xiangxiang was still a struggling, unknown actress. R-Code and White Moonlight were both going strong, and Jingyi also hadn’t yet started its decline.
Wu Jin looked at the poster that had been pushed to the end.
The man in the poster was holding a trophy. His tattooed arms were wrapped in bandages, and his aura was as fierce as the desert.
He even looked a little like the big boss.
Wen Lin saw where Wu Jin was looking and explained in a gentle tone, “That is the R-Code Battle Team’s captain, Captain Shao. He was once a seeded contestant in the Azure Competition Zone, but he later disappeared.”
“Only our team captain would leave his poster here––it’s probably to remind White Moonlight of the shame of being thoroughly defeated by R-Code.”
Wu Jin was curious. “Why did he leave R-Code?”
Wen Lin shook his head. “I don’t know. I heard that it was either due to physical reasons or because he just wanted to retire.” He said emotionally, “Before retiring, Captain Shao ruled the entire Azure survival show scene and was named the most perfect of the genetically modified humans.”
Wu Jin: “What was his name?”
“Shao Yu.”
Wu Jin paused as his memories churned.
“Shao Yu is the first sword of the Federation... he’s the scabbard...”
The door to the PR department squeaked open.
Caesar stomped out angrily, and Secretary Qu smiled benignly at Wu Jin. “Little Witch, it’s your turn!”
Wu Jin made a sound of acknowledgement and kneaded his temples as he stepped inside.
After his public persona was determined, there was a series of comprehensive quality tests and pressure training.
Wu Jin was busy until late into the night.
The light for the trainees’ individual dorm rooms was a little bright, and the little rabbit night light was crouching at the head of the bed. Wu Jin petted Brother Rabbit while opening up the terminal, taking notes while watching several videos from White Moonlight’s recent games.
