“I heard from Mom that you got transferred to Class Five after the monthly exam. Did you intentionally slack off?” Gu Yang queried, confident that Gu Pei’s mental state wasn’t the issue. It wouldn’t have such a drastic impact on his exam performance; deliberate negligence seemed more plausible.
Gu Pei grinned in response. “You know me too well.”
Following the recent exam results, nearly everyone questioned how he had declined academically. Yet, only his sister maintained faith in his abilities.
Retreat? Ridiculous. When he had applied for leave to participate in the ESport League and returned to take the exams, hadn’t he performed well?
Raising an eyebrow, Gu Yang suggested, “Was it because of Xu Niannian? You didn’t want to see her, so you changed classes?”
At the mention of Xu Niannian, frustration flickered in Gu Pei’s eyes. “It’s all because of her. Despite our breakup and my refusal to dwell on the past, she persistently pursued reconciliation.”
He may not have been the sharpest tool in the shed, but he wasn’t naive either. Having recognized Xu Niannian’s self-centered nature, he harbored no illusions about her.
“I’m tired of her constant pestering, so I took a page from Gu Jin’s book and wrote fewer essays this time. I’ll switch classes and lay low for a while,” Gu Pei declared, unfazed by the prospect of changing classes. He had already found the pace of the teachers’ lectures sluggish in Class One and preferred self-study.
“Sounds like a plan,” Gu Yang agreed with a nod.
“What were you watching?” she inquired, gesturing towards Gu Pei’s phone.
Gu Pei unlocked his phone, revealing a game video playing on the screen. “This is footage from the private training sessions of Team Blue Whale.”
His excitement was palpable as he continued, “Team Blue Whale, home to the legendary Whale God. They emerged seemingly out of nowhere, dominating the scene and clinching the national championship. They even reached the finals of the global ESport competition.”
With a tinge of regret, he added, “Unfortunately, they pulled out of the competition abruptly before the finals, disappearing from the public eye along with the Whale God and the rest of the team.”
A somber silence fell over Gu Yang as she absorbed the information.
From her “little blood bank,” Gu Yang learned that following the light cone experiment, the members of Team Blue Whale had all endured varying degrees of psychological trauma. They parted ways, ceasing all contact with each other, and unanimously abandoned eSports altogether.
“Team Blue Whale’s existence was fleeting. There are scant videos circulating of their competitions and training camps. Moreover, it’s unclear who they may have offended. Many videos and photos of them once available online have since vanished,” Gu Pei lamented. However, he brightened as he proudly showcased a particular video on his phone. “This is a treasure from a friend in the eSports scene. It’s a shame not everyone is featured.”
With a deliberate press of the pause button, Gu Pei pointed out the game characters on screen, introducing them to Gu Yang one by one. “Here we have Whale Fall and Wounded. See, this is Whale Fall, and this is Wounded.”
Chuckling, he continued, “Oh, and there was a girl who dressed like a fairy in-game. Her name was Wuyang, serving as the backup support and manager of Team Blue Whale.”
“I suspect she treats Legend of Gods as her own personal playground. The game is notoriously subpar, as if the opponents sent her in to ramp up the difficulty level. Yet, she’s said to be the team mascot of Team Blue Whale.”
Upon hearing Gu Pei’s mockery, Gu Yang lapsed into silence.
According to her “little blood bank,” she was Wuyang.
As for the disappearance of the Team Blue Whale video, her source had revealed that it was she and Gu Jin who had orchestrated its removal using hacking techniques.
Contrary to popular belief, Team Blue Whale hadn’t been banned due to any offense; rather, it was a preemptive measure to prevent Utopia from targeting others.
Gu Pei, an avid follower of Team Blue Whale, was well-versed in the members’ gossip. “Wounded and Wuyang seem like a couple. Whale Fall and Wounded are notorious for their animosity. Rumor has it, they’re romantic rivals.”
