Welcome to GOD

That show of confidence left Brother Qian speechless for a moment. Even Jiang Yun was surprised. Still, it was good to have confidence in herself.

Brother Qian brightened again. She had to be confident to say something like that! She was clearly a born member of GOD!

The match began. Jiang Yun picked Akaloi, while Wu Jin chose Fiora.

Fiora was exceptionally strong in solo fights, with high early-game damage and a knack for ambushes.

At the start, both players cleared their lanes without incident. By the second wave, Fiora was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Yun was controlling Akaloi and preparing to check the brush when Fiora burst out, landing a basic attack on Akaloi from the side before thrusting her sword. Fortunately, Jiang Yun reacted quickly, using Akaloi's second skill to leap clear. Akaloi was a highly mobile hero whose skills all involved movement.

Wu Jin didn't mind that the ambush had failed, since she had expected it. She went back to finish off the minion wave, then disappeared from the map again.

After reaching level three, Wu Jin maneuvered Fiora through the brush. When the third minion wave spawned, Jiang Yun hit a few minions, then used his first and second skills to close in on Fiora. Wu Jin dodged with her first skill and landed a basic attack on Jiang Yun. Her first skill refreshed, and she quickly thrust at Akaloi. Jiang Yun dodged and used a combo to take a bar of Wu Jin's health.

Normally, Wu Jin could have backed off rather than forcing the fight. Her lashes fluttered slightly as she used a movement skill to fly right up to Akaloi, swiftly marking and slowing Jiang Yun.

In the end, Wu Jin won the match with her last sliver of health.

Jiang Yun smiled and took off his headset. Looking across at Wu Jin, whose expression remained calm, he praised her without reservation. "You're really strong. Congratulations."

Having passed the tryout, Wu Jin followed Brother Qian to the office, where he handed her the contracts.

"You can look over the contracts. The other one is a streaming contract with our partner platform. You have to stream at least forty hours a month, or thirty during competition periods, or your pay will be docked. Your monthly salary is forty thousand, commercial deals are split forty-sixty, and prize money is separate. If you don't have any issues, go ahead and sign."

After reading the contracts, Wu Jin briskly signed her name.

"Your surname is really rare. It's a good name."

"Thank you."

Brother Qian led Wu Jin to the main room and clapped for everyone's attention. The commotion in the room stopped at once.

"Let me introduce everyone. This is Wu Jin, GOD's newest member. She'll be our top laner from now on!"

Wantonly was the first to run up to Wu Jin. He warmly grasped her hand and shook it twice. He was tall and a little chubby, with a round face and round eyes that made him look especially approachable.

"Welcome, welcome, miss! I'm Wantonly, GOD's support, Si Yicheng. You can call me... uh... Brother Cheng!"

Qin Zhou rolled his eyes, shoved Wantonly aside, and handed Wu Jin a wet wipe. "Brother Cheng, my ass. Get lost. He ate snacks and didn't wash his hands."

"Zhouzhou, you-!"

"Shut up and get lost." After snapping impatiently at Wantonly, Clear turned to Wu Jin and introduced himself with interest. "I'm Qin Zhou, the mid laner, Clear. You can call me Brother Zhou."

Qin Zhou had a fair, clean-cut appearance and dyed blond hair. He looked like a well-behaved kid, but he had actually been a delinquent before entering esports.

Wantonly stood silently to the side. After all that, Qin Zhou had just copied him. Heh...

Shi Mu stood in the middle with his arms folded and a smile on his lips. He nodded to Wu Jin. "I'm GOD's captain and jungler, Shi Mu. Welcome to GOD."

All three had introduced themselves, but bin sat at his station wearing headphones, seemingly cut off from everyone around him and immersed in his own world.

Wantonly hurried over and pulled off his headphones. "What are you doing? Our new teammate's here. Come say hello!"

The others' expressions darkened too. They could overlook him being spaced out and ignoring people normally, but this was his first time meeting their new teammate. He couldn't be so rude.

Bin swore when his headphones were pulled off. Annoyed, he put them back on, shot Wu Jin a cold glance, and let out a quiet laugh.

Brother Qian frowned. This kid...

He couldn't let Wu Jin think the team had a bad atmosphere. After all, her arrival had saved them from a "crisis."

As far as Brother Qian was concerned, Wu Jin was now his most precious treasure!

If the spring season weren't about to start, he would have taught bin a lesson one way or another.

And if anyone asked what kind of lesson, it had to be green, because green sounded like "get lost."

His headphones were pulled off again. Bin glared over in annoyance, thinking it was Wantonly again. A curse was on the tip of his tongue when he realized it was Shi Mu, and he froze.

Shi Mu was smiling, but his gaze sent a chill down bin's spine and made his hands tremble slightly.

"Are you deaf? Should I apply for a disability certificate for you?"

However defiant bin might be, he didn't dare stand up to Shi Mu.

He reluctantly stood, walked forward, and looked Wu Jin up and down before speaking.

"I'm bin, the team's ADC. Happy now? I'm going back to my game."

Bin returned to his seat and put on his headphones. The resentment and defiance in his heart drove him to impulsively start a team fight, and he kept going until his screen went black.

Doesn't Shi Mu only dare talk to me like that because his family's rich? Who does he think he is?

"Don't mind him. That's just how he is. I'll take you to see your room first."

Afraid bin's behavior would affect Wu Jin, Brother Qian hurriedly offered an explanation. Seeing her calm expression, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Jin's gaze passed briefly over bin. She didn't take it to heart.

The GOD players' rooms were all on the second floor, while the second team's members stayed in another building. Considering that Wu Jin was a girl, he had asked the housekeeper and his assistant to quickly prepare the innermost room while Wu Jin was trying out, so her privacy would be protected.

"Well, are you happy with it? I specifically asked my assistant to decorate it. She's a woman, so she's more attentive than rough guys like us. If you don't like it, we can change it until you do!"

Money was the last thing anyone at GOD had to worry about. That was the advantage of being a lavishly funded team: they could give every player the best and take care of their every need.

The room had been prepared with great care. A thick carpet covered the floor, and the primary off-white color wasn't overly cloying. Several dolls had been placed on the bed, and there was an elegant vanity and computer desk, as well as a private bathroom and a small balcony.

Wu Jin remained expressionless and nodded.

"It's very nice. Thank you."

"You can go home now and pack some clothes and everyday things to bring over. I'll have the driver take you."

Wu Jin shook her head and pointed to her small shoulder bag. "Everything I own is in here. Sorry for the trouble."

She had only one outfit. When her jacket was dirty, she washed it and wore only the layer underneath; when that layer was dirty, she wore only the jacket.

Brother Qian followed Wu Jin's finger and saw nothing but a small black bag. He had already learned a little about her family situation, but seeing it firsthand now, he felt a sudden dull ache in his heart.

Boo-hoo, his precious treasure absolutely must not be made to suffer!

He immediately contacted Auntie Lin, the housekeeper, and asked her to prepare some daily necessities for Wu Jin.

After a few more reminders, Brother Qian left Wu Jin to settle in on her own.

Wu Jin washed and blow-dried her rain-soaked clothes, then changed out of Shi Mu's clothes. She carefully and gently washed them and hung them up to dry before going downstairs.
