Chapter 474 - 396: Brother! Are You Coming Over for Dinner Tonight?

"By the time you guys graduate from college, he might be the richest man in the country! How can the gap between people be so wide!"

Wu Yun smiled and explained, "I just got lucky!"

Wang Jiale had a complicated look on her face. "No, no, no! I don’t think so! You know, you’re the dream guy for a lot of girls in our class!"

"Some of my classmates even say they’ll only look for boyfriends who meet your standard! That includes me!" As she spoke, Wang Jiale showed off her phone’s lock screen, which was a photo of Wu Yun.

The moment Wang Jiale finished speaking, Zhou Shuwen, who was beside her, jokingly scolded, "You silly girl! How could you even think that!?"

But Wang Jiale retorted, "Mom, it’s not like you’re planning to get married anyway. Besides, as far as I know, Wu Yun has publicly stated he has a girlfriend!"

"Mom, I never knew you had this side to you! What you’re doing is so not cool!" Wang Jiale drew out her words, her eyes darting toward Wu Yun not far away.

Knowing her daughter’s personality well, Zhou Shuwen knew Wang Jiale was definitely up to something. She sat up straight and put on a stern face. "Alright, spit it out. What do you want?"

Wang Jiale giggled and beckoned to Zhou Shuwen. "Mom! Come here!"

Even with his enhanced hearing, Wu Yun couldn’t make out what the two women were whispering about from several meters away.

"No way! Are you crazy!? You’re not even eighteen yet!" Zhou Shuwen immediately shook her head, refusing.

Wang Jiale clung to Zhou Shuwen’s arm, wheedling, "Oh, Mom! I’m already old enough to bear civil and criminal responsibility! Besides! Weren’t you already dating Dad when you were seventeen?"

"Mom! Are you just going to stand by and watch your daughter get tricked by someone else in the future?"

"If I can experience these things now, I’ll have the resistance to them later!"

After a round of pouting, Wang Jiale saw no sign of her mother’s expression softening. A little frustrated, she said, "Besides! Mom! Don’t you trust your own judgment of people!?"

As soon as she said this, Wang Jiale herself started laughing. "Actually, it’s not that great. Dad is capable, but he wasn’t right for you!"

Zhou Shuwen pretended to raise her hand to hit her, but Wang Jiale dodged. Then she heard her daughter say, "I heard your voice just now! Don’t you want to share some happiness with your own daughter!? Tomorrow is Mother’s Day! This is the whole reason I made a special trip to Modu!"

Hearing Wang Jiale say this, the serious expression on Zhou Shuwen’s face finally crumbled.

Zhou Shuwen recalled feeling a bit dehydrated last night. Even with her regular exercise, it was indeed a bit much to handle! And now her daughter had eavesdropped on her. How embarrassing would it be if this got out!

So now, a little devil and a little angel were waging a fierce battle in Zhou Shuwen’s mind. One was clamoring for her to agree quickly! The other was constantly reminding her that this would violate all ethics and morals!

Just then, Wu Yun stood up and said, "Sister Shuwen! Since your daughter is here, I won’t impose. Come to my company on Monday, and we can discuss the Pinduoduo financing matter!"

With Wang Jiale’s constant hinting, the little devil in Zhou Shuwen’s mind finally gained the upper hand. Zhou Shuwen quickly said, "Wait! I have something to tell you!"

Wang Jiale watched her mother and Wu Yun with a look full of expectation.

Zhou Shuwen pulled Wu Yun onto the balcony, and the two quickly began to argue. During this time, Wu Yun kept glancing in Wang Jiale’s direction.

Wu Yun never thought that a scene from the ’little movies’ he used to watch would actually happen to him on a casual outing. The thought was both exciting and a little worrying.

Wu Yun scanned Wang Jiale’s stats with his glasses.

Name: Wang Jiale

Age: 17

Height: 5’6"

Weight: 106 lbs

Appearance: 87 (No makeup)

Figure: 88

Special Rating: 95 (Completely Bare)

Skills: ...

Affinity: 85

Wu Yun was somewhat amazed by the 95 rating; it was the first time he’d encountered a girl like this. What surprised him even more was that Wang Jiale’s Affinity toward him was already at 85. This was quite novel.

Initially, Wu Yun had been firmly against it. But the more he looked at Wang Jiale’s eyes, the more familiar they seemed, as if he had seen her somewhere before his rebirth. However, one thing Wu Yun was sure of was that he had seen Wang Jiale in a video.

But after seeing the evaluation from his Detection Glasses, Wu Yun finally remembered Wang Jiale’s identity. It turned out she was the movie actress who had captivated countless nerds in his past life—Doll Sister!

Looking again at the pale skin visible beneath Wang Jiale’s JK uniform, Wu Yun became even more certain of his judgment.

But in this life, Wang Jiale wasn’t yet the internet-famous Doll Sister; she was just a high school student!

After Zhou Shuwen’s repeated persuasion, Wu Yun finally chose to agree to give it a try! Being able to get to know the small-screen goddess from his previous life on an ’intimate’ level would be quite an experience—and a ’doubled’ one at that!

’I just want to see what the real Doll Sister is like!’ Wu Yun justified to himself.

Afterward, Zhou Shuwen told Wang Jiale that Wu Yun had agreed. Hearing this, Wang Jiale actually became a little shy, crossing her hands over her stomach, looking embarrassed.

Having already thought things through, Zhou Shuwen smiled faintly. "Let’s eat breakfast first! We can play games after breakfast!"

At this, Wang Jiale looked up at Wu Yun and said, "Mom! I want to first..."

...

It wasn’t until almost lunchtime that Wu Yun finally left the Binjiang Triumphal Arch. He didn’t call Wei Wu to pick him up, simply walking along the street and quickly returning to Cofco Seaview No.1.

After lunch, Wu Yun accompanied Qi Fei to Phoenix Entertainment to check on the casting situation.

While Qi Fei was observing the auditions, Wu Yun received a call from Wang Chao.

Because Wu Yun believed they needed to increase the prize money for the Honor of Kings tournaments, Wang Chao and Qi Fei had convened the company’s management after that day’s meeting. They brainstormed and subsequently revised and improved the original competition system.

Originally, Honor of Kings was going to adopt a league system similar to League of Legends, but after careful consideration, they changed their minds.

After all, Honor of Kings is a phenomenal game. It would be impossible to expect the vast player base to just watch the same dozen or two dozen teams fight to the death every year. Even with a promotion and relegation system between major and minor leagues, audiences aren’t fools. They would eventually experience aesthetic fatigue.

Therefore, the original Spring and Autumn seasonal leagues were changed; the Autumn League was canceled and replaced with a year-end World Championship.

So, this time, the World Championship will be held in the second half of the year. It will be divided by administrative region, starting with open qualifiers. Within a specified time, the top ten teams with the highest points in each province or regional team competition will advance to the next round.

This way, even an amateur team could potentially become a dark horse.

You can’t expect a horse to run if you don’t feed it! So, in each province and region, prizes such as money and skins have been set up as rewards for participating in the tournament!

Although the prize money isn’t much compared to the later championship rounds, this is for the open qualifiers!

These open qualifiers will officially begin in the second half of the year, on July 1st, and will last for three months.

The matches will be held online. After entering a special room, other players can also watch the live broadcast as spectators!

After the open qualifiers end, the promotion tournament will immediately follow!

The promotion tournament will divide regions into zones. Currently, there are only seven zones within the Huaxia Region, such as the South China Region, East China Region, North China Region, and Northeast Region. In the future, zones from other countries and regions will be added.

The promotion tournament will be held offline, one month after the open qualifiers conclude. This one-month period gives the organizers time to prepare for the event, while the players can use the opportunity to train and strengthen their team synergy.

The promotion tournament itself will only last 5-7 days, during which the top ten teams in the zone will be determined.

Because the promotion tournament is an offline event, to alleviate the contestants’ worries, the organizers will not only cover all their expenses but also give extra consideration to the prize money.

If someone fails to show up for a match or chooses to forfeit, their spot will automatically be given to the next-ranked team.

Finally, there are the knockout stage and the grand finals!

As for the following year’s Spring League, the top 18-24 teams from the grand finals will be selected to participate!

Then, for the second year’s championship, all teams’ points will be reset, and they will compete again to accumulate new points!

Wu Yun understood the reasoning behind Wang Chao and his team’s decision. This would not only motivate all players to participate but also ensure that the Honor of Kings tournament wasn’t an event for only a select few.

Indeed, although Wu Yun had played Honor of Kings in his previous life, he wasn’t familiar with any of the teams in the professional league; he hadn’t even heard of them.

"Alright! Go ahead with the changes you’ve made!"

Wu Yun hung up the phone. He first glanced at Qi Fei, who was sitting in the audition room, intently watching the performances, before opening his WeChat.

Wang Jiale: "Big brother! Are you coming over for dinner tonight?"
