Chapter 472 - 396: Doll Sister, Adjustments to the Honor of Kings Tournament

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

Wang Jiale’s expression turned complicated. "No, no, no! I don’t think so at all! You know, you’re the dream guy for a lot of girls in my class!"

"Some of my classmates have even said they’ll only look for boyfriends who meet your standards from now on! That includes me!" As she spoke, Wang Jiale showed off her phone’s screen saver—a photo of Wu Yun.

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

But Wang Jiale retorted, "Well, Mom, it’s not like you’re planning on getting married anyway. And 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 isn’t very proper, you know!" Wang Jiale drew out her words, her eyes flicking toward Wu Yun in the distance.

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

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

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

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

Wang Jiale clung to Zhou Shuwen’s arm, whining coaxingly, "Oh, come on, Mom! I’m already legally responsible for my civil and criminal actions now! Besides, weren’t you already dating Dad when you were seventeen?"

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

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

After a round of wheedling, Wang Jiale saw that her mother’s expression hadn’t softened, so she said, a bit resentfully, "Besides! Mom! Don’t you trust your own judgment of character?!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Wang Jiale herself started laughing. "Actually, I guess it’s not that great. Dad was 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 you just now! Don’t you want to share some happiness with your daughter!? Tomorrow is Mother’s Day! That’s why I made a special trip to Modu!"

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

Zhou Shuwen remembered how she’d gotten a bit dehydrated last night. Even with her regular exercise, it had been a bit much to handle! And now her daughter had eavesdropped on her. It would be so embarrassing if this got out!

So now, a little devil and a little angel were having a fierce battle in Zhou Shuwen’s mind. One was clamoring for her to agree quickly! The other was constantly advising her that it was a violation of 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 talk about the Pinduoduo financing deal!"

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

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

She watched as Zhou Shuwen pulled Wu Yun onto the balcony, and the two of them 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 adult movies he used to watch would actually happen to him. The thought was both exciting and a little worrying.

Wu Yun used his glasses to scan Wang Jiale’s stats.

Name: Wang Jiale

Age: 17

Height: 167cm

Weight: 48kg

Looks: 87 (Without 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 had ever encountered a girl like this. What surprised him even more was that Wang Jiale’s Affinity for him was actually 85. That was truly novel.

Initially, Wu Yun was dead set 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. One thing Wu Yun was sure of, however, 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. She was the Doll Sister, the movie starlet who would later fascinate countless otaku!

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 Doll Sister who had taken the internet by storm. She was just a high school student!

After Zhou Shuwen’s repeated persuasion, Wu Yun finally chose to give it a try! The chance to get to know the silver screen goddess of his past life on a deeper level was a good experience, and what’s more, this experience was doubled!

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

Afterward, Zhou Shuwen told Wang Jiale that Wu Yun had agreed. Wang Jiale, however, suddenly became shy, crossing her hands over her stomach, looking a bit embarrassed.

Having already come to terms with it, Zhou Shuwen smiled faintly. "Let’s have breakfast first! We can play games after we eat!"

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

...

It wasn’t until almost lunchtime that Wu Yun emerged from Binjiang Triumphal Arch. He didn’t call Wei Wu to pick him up, instead walking quickly along the street back 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 casting, Wu Yun received a call from Wang Chao.

Because Wu Yun believed they needed to increase the prize money for Honor of Kings tournaments, Wang Chao and Qi Fei had gathered the company’s management after that day’s meeting. They brainstormed and revised the original tournament 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 was a phenomenal game. They couldn’t just have the massive player base watch the same ten or twenty teams battle it out every year. Even with a system for promotion and relegation between upper and lower leagues, audiences aren’t stupid. They would eventually get tired of it.

Therefore, the original twice-a-year Spring and Autumn Splits were changed; the Autumn Split was canceled and replaced with a year-end World Champions Cup.

So, the World Champions Cup would be held directly in the second half of the year. It would be divided by administrative regions, starting with an open qualifier. Within the specified time, the top ten teams with the highest points in team matches from each province or region would 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 without feeding it! So, prize money, skins, and other gifts were also set up as rewards for participating in each province and region.

Although the prize money wasn’t much compared to the later championship rounds, this was just the open qualifier!

The open qualifier would officially begin in the second half of the year, on July 1st, and would last for three months.

The matches would be held online, and after entering a special room, other players could watch the livestream as spectators!

After the open qualifier ended, the playoffs would begin!

The playoffs would divide the regions into zones. For now, there were only seven zones in the Huaxia Region: the South China Region, the East China Region, the North China Region, the Northeast Region, and others. In the future, zones from other countries and regions would be added.

The playoff matches would be held offline, scheduled for one month after the open qualifier. During that month, the organizers would prepare for the event, while the players could use the opportunity to train and improve their team chemistry.

The playoffs themselves would only last for five to seven days, during which the top ten teams from each zone would be determined.

Since the playoffs were offline events, to alleviate the contestants’ worries, the organizers would not only cover all their expenses but also be more generous with the prize money.

If anyone failed to show up for a match or chose to forfeit, their spot would automatically go to the next-ranked team.

Finally, there would be the elimination rounds and the Grand Finals!

As for the next year’s Spring Split, the top 18 to 24 teams from the Grand Finals would be selected to participate!

Then, for the following year’s Champions Cup, all teams’ points would be reset, and they would have to compete again to accumulate points!

Wu Yun understood Wang Chao and the others’ reasoning. This would not only motivate all players to participate but also ensure that the Honor of Kings tournaments weren’t just for a select few.

Indeed, although Wu Yun had played Honor of Kings in his past life, he wasn’t familiar with any of the teams in the professional league; he’d never even heard of them.

"Alright! Go with the revisions you’ve made!"

Wu Yun hung up the phone, glanced at Qi Fei who was sitting in the audition room intently watching the performances, and only then did he open his WeChat.

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