She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

"Don't worry, that guy might even be a fan of both of you now." Liu Keke chuckled. "She didn't have the slightest problem with you two delaying your entry into the team by a month for the music competition."

Despite the tight schedule, there were still several months before the competition for LPL team slots began, so there was still time.

"Become a fan of both of us?" Su Mu was surprised.

"Of course, the music software on her computer in her study has been playing your three songs the most lately. The difference is that she prefers the original version of 'Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies'."

"...I really didn't expect that..."

Speaking of those three songs, Su Mu was filled with emotion.

The original songs in the final of The Sound of Music all have a high level of popularity.

After the competition, the organizers invited the contestants to a more professional recording studio to complete the studio CD version of their songs and helped them upload them to major platforms under their own names, without much complicated review process.

This further fueled the hype, but after several days of development, the ranking order was unexpected.

The top song on the charts is not the one that won this year's Music Voice competition, Chasing the Clouds, and it's not even in the top three of the new song charts on major music apps.

Not only on Kugou, NetEase Cloud Music, and other music platforms, but also on many smaller platforms and even video websites, the top three spots are firmly occupied by songs like "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," "Chasing Dreams with Pure Hearts," and "Unknown Artists."

It can be said that this result was unexpected by countless people.

But most people understand that it is well-deserved.

Su Mu and Bai Wei are the true champions of Music of the Sea. If Hai Kuo Tian Kong, which combines emotion and skill, were placed in the finals, Zhui Yun would definitely not be able to beat them.

But that doesn't matter anymore, because the popularity of the "pure heart for pursuing dreams" is still rising at an alarming rate.

It all started when a class at a certain high school, unaware of the circumstances, used this song as their class song for preparing for the college entrance examination, recorded a related vlog video, and uploaded it. As a result, it spread like wildfire, sweeping across the entire social media circle.

When people first hear this song, their initial impression might be "What the heck?", but after listening to it repeatedly, they might unconsciously add it to their playlist and start listening to it on repeat.

In this life, everyone has their own ideals or dreams.

Whether you strive for it now or give up due to unrealistic factors, it doesn't diminish the emotional resonance you feel.

This song is for students striving for success, for teachers hoping to inspire their students, and for people from all walks of life working hard to achieve their ideals…

And this is perhaps why the "pure heart for pursuing dreams" phenomenon has become so popular.

164. Why not be a little braver?

The two chatted and laughed for a few minutes, and Bai Wei and the others finished their spa treatment and arrived one after another.

After the previous dinner, everyone was no longer as awkward as when they first met, and they became much more familiar with each other.

Deng Jiayu's pigtails were now coiled into two small bulges. Only her head was visible above the water as she swam to Su Mu, staring at her neck and looking down with a shocked expression.

"I didn't expect Brother Mu's scale to be so large... This double-A scenic spot is so envious!"

"There's nothing wrong with having a double A cup size. It's convenient for movement and less of a burden. I don't want it to get bigger either." Su Mu shrugged.

"As a symbol of female sexiness, who would rather have a large one than a small one, sigh..." (Scar)

Deng Jiayu placed her hands on her chest, and feeling the flat curves, her expression immediately fell. (Part Three)

“…I do,” Bai Wei whispered.

The moment she opened her mouth, everyone's eyes were drawn to her, then quickly and silently looked away.

Well... considering Bai Wei's size, she could easily be two sizes smaller. I really don't know how she developed; she's already so impressive at 20.

However, it's indeed inconvenient for her like this. (Neighbor)

"Some are dying of thirst, others are drowning in floods; I hope my future husband won't mind my flat-chested body..." (crying)

"Don't worry, I was the same size as you at your age, I just hadn't reached puberty yet," Su Mu said with a smile.

Really?

"There's no benefit in lying to you. I'm being honest. I'll show you old photos after we've soaked in the hot springs." - Dad

"No need, I trust Wu Yiqi, Baling Qi Liu, and Brother Yi Mu~"

Yan Hua chewed his gum, glanced at Yi Lian, then at Deng Jiayu, and finally looked down at himself.

It's no wonder Deng Jiayu was anxious; indeed, among everyone present, only she, standing upright and looking down, could clearly see her feet.

"Let's stay here tonight, but we're on holiday and there aren't enough rooms. We only have three double rooms left. Who wants to share with me?" Jin

Liu Keke always has a smile on her face when she speaks, and she seems very amiable and easy to get along with.

This is why, despite being both a coach and a division manager, the players feel she's more like an older sister, and they feel comfortable talking to her.

"Three double rooms aren't enough, are they?" Xu Jing glanced at everyone. "There are seven of us."

“The single bed is quite big. Xiao Mu and Xiao Wei are roommates, so it’s okay for you two to share a bed, right?” Liu Keke looked at Su Mu and Xiao Wei.

"sure."

"can."

The two answered almost simultaneously, and after hearing each other's words, they looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other.

Deng Jiayu and the others didn't think much of what they heard. Everyone knew that Su Mu was the big streamer Su Mu from Shark, who lived with his designated duo partner, Tian Cheng.

Nowadays, many college students go out to find and rent their own places, so the two of them are definitely college roommates.

"Then I'll share a room with Yi Lian. We're a bot lane duo, so we can use this time to discuss some related knowledge, right?"

Deng Jiayu moved to Yi Lian's side and rested her head on her shoulder, lively and active.

Seeing Yi Lian's tacit agreement, Yan Hua had no choice but to turn his gaze to Xu Jing, "Then Sister Keke and Sister Jing can share a room, and I'll go with Brother Mu and Sister Wei."

"no problem."

Seeing how quickly the contestants became familiar with each other and got along so well, Liu Keke and Xu Jing both nodded in satisfaction.

"Tomorrow I'm going to take my official photos, go through the professional player registration process, and there are other miscellaneous things to take care of. I'll just get some rest tonight."

"Won't you be very tired?"

"It's not too tiring. Oh, by the way, you can think of your own career IDs. You need to fill them out tomorrow. Remember, you can only use English, and the meaning of the translation cannot be sensitive."

"OK…"

……

It was late at night, inside a double room with three people.

After chatting idly for more than ten minutes, Su Mu couldn't resist his curiosity and asked Yan Hua about the background of signing with WLD.

Yan Hua didn't try to hide anything and recounted a complex and heartbreaking experience.

In short, she participated in the youth training trial period of several teams, but was eliminated in the end. When she was disheartened and wanted to give up on this path, Xu Jing found her and signed her after a detailed discussion.

"Actually... I like chewing gum because I'm insecure. I feel uncomfortable if my mouth is empty," Yan Hua said somewhat embarrassedly.

The two people lying on the bed opposite her now, whether online or offline, are more capable of outshining her.

“I don’t mean to offend you, but I’d like to know what makes you feel inferior. Being approached by a professional team means you have something special.” Su Mu said, puzzled.

"I can't play offensive heroes, and I can't achieve much. To be precise, I can't play the kind of game that the youth coaches want to see."

Yan Hua's voice was low and dejected, as if he had opened a floodgate and was about to pour out all the words that had been bottled up in his heart for a long time.

"Actually, I'm still very nervous. Sister Jing only said that I'm very suitable for WLD, and then she didn't say anything else..."

"I'm worried that I still won't meet the coaching staff's requirements after training starts, and perhaps... our teammate relationship will only last about a month..."

"I really envy your talent..."

Su Mu and the other person listened in silence, unsure of what to say or how to comment.

Even if you know, you don't have the right to comment. Everyone has areas of strength and areas of weakness. Whether you can change yourself is not always something you can achieve just by working hard.

"I have to thank your song for giving me the courage to sign with WLD. Otherwise, I might have really gone back to school and followed the old path of most people, relying on studying to get ahead," Yan Hua sighed.

"..." Bai Wei felt complicated upon hearing these words.

She thought that if she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Su Mu, she might not have been able to embark on the path of e-sports, but instead would have followed the trend and gone down the path of music.

But if that's the case, achievements are bound to be limited. If music wants to progress, it's difficult to cross the high walls without absolute passion.

Su Mu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Team games are about complementarity. Players in different positions on each team have different needs. Sometimes, the team's coaching staff might even understand your value better than you do."

"Since our songs gave you courage, why not be even braver? Not everyone who goes to play professionally is doing it for their ideals, but ultimately, the pursuits or needs in their hearts can only be realized by winning, right? Otherwise, what's the point of coming to the esports industry?"

"So all you need to do now is calm down and wait for the integration training to begin; thinking too much about anything else is just futile."

"The e-sports industry is cruel. If you want to survive in this industry, the more you underestimate yourself, the harder you will fall. If you start to worry and be negative before you've even made it, you are destined to experience failure again."

After listening intently to Su Mu's string of words, Yan Hua remained in a daze for a long time before a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Thank you for saying all this to me."

"It's nothing."

165. Preparing for War

Silent all night.

The next day, Liu Keke took Su Mu and the others to take their official photos and submitted their contracts and information as registered professional players to the league for review.

With this, the initial roster for the WLD team has been finalized.

Top laner: Yanhua

Jungler: Xiaowei (白薇)

Mid laner: Su Wu*Yi Ping Pa Mio Liu Mu (Su Mu)

Bottom Lane: Lian (易涟)

Support: Ayu (Deng Jiayu)

Head Coach: KK (Liu Keke)

Manager: KK (Liu Keke)

Analyst: Rabbit (Xu Jing)

WLD is not a top-tier esports club, but it has several esports divisions and a certain level of fame, with official accounts on major media platforms bearing corporate certification.

The League of Legends-related accounts were registered and verified long ago and are managed by the media team, who update the division's hot topics and changes from time to time, as well as vlogs, etc.

One evening at 9 PM, an announcement released simultaneously across all WLD platforms ignited the entire League of Legends community, quickly dominating various trending topics lists.

The announcement contained WLD's starting roster, as well as individual and group photos of the players.

Upon seeing the five people in dark blue team uniforms, especially the two girls in the middle who were particularly striking in appearance, many people's eyes widened and they quickly spread the word.

Since participating in the Music Voice competition, Su Mu and Bai Wei have indirectly attracted a wave of new players to League of Legends.

It was around that time that the team that announced its signing attracted a lot of attention to WLD.

Take the official Weibo accounts as an example. Whether it's the League of Legends division or the corporate account, the number of followers has skyrocketed.

In particular, the League of Legends account saw its fan base surge from 12 to 97.

Fans who have been eagerly awaiting the official announcement have finally waited for this moment.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! Brother Mu's official photos are out!"

"Where?! Where?!"

"Oh, you're so silly. It's the official WLD account. Where else could it be? It's on every platform. I even checked Bluebird, and it's posted there too."

"Ahhh—I'm totally smitten! How can a girl be so handsome?"

"A cheerful and sunny smile, a forthright demeanor... I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, your daughter is going to be unfilial..."

"I once thought I was asexual, until I met Brother Mu and realized I'm heterosexual. I'm just into handsome older women, waaaaah, Brother Mu, knock me out! I'd gladly dry up an entire river for you..."

"Stop arguing, you slut! Stop staying in this hair salon!"

"We need to generate electricity! We need to generate electricity!"

"I feel like Brother Mu and Sister Wei have great chemistry."

"Pairing up everything will only hurt you. Did you get carried away with playing with Xiaomi products? Wake up. Even if there is a connection between you and your partner, you can't be so hasty. It will only bother them."

Leaving aside the usual comments about the illness, the majority of the more normal discussions still share the same doubts, and once again, people are asking questions on the WLD official account.

Everyone was curious as to why Su Mu and Bai Wei didn't go to those top teams, but instead went to the relatively unknown WLD.

It's worth noting that some team official accounts have been asked by fans why they didn't try to recruit Su Mu or Bai Wei, and the official account operators actually replied that the negotiations failed.
