“Grandmaster?!”

Luo Peilan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How is this possible? Master, are you joking? Don’t you know her?”

Shen Qin looked at Gu Yang, who was smiling brightly in the crowd. “She’s my old friend.”

At the end of spring, the grass grew and the orioles flew.

On Friday night, after the family had dinner, Gu Pei suddenly jumped up from the sofa. “I can have the interview now! Hahaha!”

Gu Pei excitedly went to Gu Yang’s side and showed her his phone. “Sister, look, Team Blue Whale sent an email to inform me to go for an interview!”

Gu Yang looked at the group message and patted Gu Pei’s shoulder. “Brother, you can do it!”

“Don’t worry, Sister. I will definitely become the Whale God’s teammate!” Gu Pei was full of confidence.

He raised his eyebrows proudly at Gu Jin. “Gu Jin, I know you’re a fan of the Whale God. Do you want me to get an autographed photo for you?”

Gu Jin looked up with a playful smile. “Me? Sure!”

Gu Pei beamed with satisfaction. Gu Jin actually had something to ask of him!

Gu Yang couldn’t bear to watch. “Brother, you should go train properly.”

But Gu Pei was determined to be cocky. He turned to Feng Jue, who was beside Gu Yang. “Hey, Feng Jue, do you want any autographed photos?”

Gu Yang sighed; she really couldn’t stop him.

Feng Jue smiled. “Yes, I do. Please help me get a picture of Wounded and Wuyang.”

Gu Pei puffed out his chest. “Leave it to me!”

The interview venue for the Blue Whale Team was on the second floor of the Grass-Raising Internet Cafe near Hua University.

Gu Pei invited his good friend, Qin Xian, to join him.

A total of ten participants made it to the offline interview for Team Blue Whale after passing the online screening. Many had even traveled thousands of miles to the capital in pursuit of their dreams.

With Wuyang as a substitute, Team Blue Whale consisted of six members. Since the eSports team could only accept a maximum of nine players, they would only be bringing on three new members this time.

Gu Pei didn’t expect to meet someone he knew.

Gu Shuda.

The second branch, Gu Zhao’an and his wife, had already been forced out of the capital by Gu Zhaoming. Only Gu Shuda and Gu Shuxue remained in the city. Since Ye Qingzi was sent abroad, Gu Shuxue had become much more compliant and avoided approaching the first branch.

Meanwhile, Gu Shuda was still hanging out with his friends as usual.

Gu Pei was surprised to see him there.

When Gu Shuda spotted Gu Pei, he greeted him with enthusiasm. “Cousin Gu Pei! Are you here for the offline interview too?”

Gu Pei nodded, equally surprised. “You too?”

Gu Shuda laughed. “Not quite! I came with Brother Chu.”

He stepped back to reveal the other man behind him.

Gu Pei recognized Qin Xian. He was the young master of the Chu family in the capital, known for his hedonistic lifestyle–Chu Nanming.

Chu Nanming was also the boss of the CNM Club and a member of the eSports team.

Gu Pei had previously considered joining the CNM Team, so he was taken aback to find Chu Nanming at Team Blue Whale’s recruitment interview. “Brother Chu, aren’t you the captain of the CNM Team? Are you planning to join Team Blue Whale too?”

Chu Nanming nodded and replied earnestly, “Yes! What’s the problem?”

Qin Xian sensed something was off, but he couldn’t pinpoint it, so he turned to Gu Pei for clarification.

Gu Pei quipped, “Your Majesty, why are you rebelling?”

Chu Nanming responded, “I’m also a fan of Team Blue Whale. This is a rare opportunity, so I had to come. Plus, those brats from the CNM Team signed up behind my back and got eliminated.”

“Even if I don’t make it through the interview, at least I get to see my idol. It’s not a loss!” he added cheerfully.

“Same here! I get to meet my idol alongside Brother Chu. Sigh, if I had known you could also participate in the offline interview, I wouldn’t have hesitated to come all this way,” Gu Shuda chimed in, placing his hand on Gu Pei’s shoulder.

Gu Pei shrugged him off. “We don’t seem to know each other that well.”
