Chapter 1177: They’re In Their Prime

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Hahaha, I succeeded! Sister, I’ve joined Team Blue Whale!” Gu Pei was so excited that he jumped up.

Gu Yang smiled and patted his shoulder. “Brother, welcome to Team Blue Whale.”

Qin Xian was also very happy. He had long wanted to play games with his boss and the others.

Gu Shuda, who was beside Chu Nanming, asked, “Brother Chu, if you join Team Blue Whale, what will happen to your CNM Team?”

Chu Nanming was very excited and felt that this was not a problem. “There are many people in CNM Team. It doesn’t matter if I’m not there. Moreover, I’m not the boss of CNM anymore.”

Qin Xian was surprised. “Brother Chu, the CNM Club is so profitable, and you’re actually willing to sell it? Who’s the new boss?”

...

Chu Nanming looked at Qin Xian with an indescribable expression. “Your sister.”

“Brother Chu, speak properly. Don’t scold others!” Qin Xian frowned.

Chu Nanming: “It’s your sister, your eldest daughter, Qin Shuling.”

Qin Xian was enlightened. “Oh, no wonder. It’s been hard on you, Brother Chu.”

Even as her older brother, Qin Xian knew he couldn’t do much about his mischievous little sister.

If Chu Nanming were willing to part with his “golden goose,” Qin Shuling would undoubtedly try every tactic to win him over.

Qin Xian draped an arm around Chu Nanming’s shoulder and whispered, “Brother Chu, I’ve got a project that’s perfect for us to collaborate on. My sister can be impulsive—don’t take it personally.”

Chu Nanming’s eyes lit up, and he grinned. “Young Master Qin, I watched your sister grow up and already consider her like family. Don’t treat me like an outsider.”

Meanwhile, Gu Yang recorded the interview process, edited the video, and posted it on Team Blue Whale’s official Weibo. She tagged Gu Pei, Qin Xian, and Chu Nanming, officially welcoming them to the team.

The post immediately brought Team Blue Whale, which had been quiet for a while, back into the spotlight and onto the trending topics list.

# Whale Fall is actually a woman!#

#Wuyang is Little Fairy Gu Yang!#

#Wounded and Wuyang are a real couple!#

#New Member Whale Explosion is Whale Fall’s younger brother!#

#The return of the king, they are in their prime!

And so on.

When Gu Yang and Gu Jin’s identities were exposed, the entire internet was shocked.

Gu Jin wasn’t very active online, so many people went to Gu Yang’s account to ask.

Gu Yang also admitted that she was Wuyang.

Hence, some people couldn’t help but ask about the reason why Team Blue Whale withdrew from the competition.

The light cone experiment was, of course, sensitive information and not something to publicize widely.

To avoid drawing attention to Cloud Rising Orphanage, Gu Yang didn’t mention the explosion there five years ago. Instead, she offered a vague explanation to curious netizens, simply saying she’d been at death’s door and that Gu Jin and the others had rushed to her rescue.

After so many years, most people just wanted some understanding of the situation. Upon learning it was a life-or-death matter for Gu Yang, many expressed empathy.

While the competition was important, it was understandable that saving a life took priority.

Team Blue Whale quickly shot up the trending ranks, dominating entertainment news.

Netizens flooded into Gu Pei, Qin Xian, and Chu Nanming’s live streams, congratulating them on joining Team Blue Whale.

The career span for eSports players is typically short, with most retiring by 22. Many of the well-known players from Team Blue Whale’s early days had already retired or moved into coaching roles.

However, when Team Blue Whale recently made their comeback, fans were ecstatic, cheering, “My youth is back!”

Most in the eSports community, though, assumed the team’s goal was to train up new talent while the older members retired to the sidelines. After all, age was usually a disadvantage.

What they didn’t expect was that, even after all these years, the team members seemed to be in their prime—the golden age for eSports.

Some internet users joked, “Good thing there was no underage anti-addiction system five years ago, or Team Blue Whale would’ve been benched before they even got started!”
