A spotlight shone down, and Man Suling, dressed in an evening gown, stood on a floating stage, slowly drifting out of the darkness like a spirit of the night sky.

Chen Qingyu exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Man Suling is here too! What a coincidence today. Yaoyao, you don't need to go to my recording studio; I can introduce you to Sister Man Suling in a little while."

In the stadium, with one of Man Suling's songs, the atmosphere was once again pushed to a climax. After her performance, the first match was about to begin.

Today's opening event featured seven matches, with Boraruz and Aodora scheduled for the final, headline appearance.

After Man Suling left the stage, Chen Qingyu immediately called her. The girl was so quick that Chen Gu didn't have time to stop her, and she was already on the phone with Man Suling, saying, "Oh yes, yes! My grandpa brought me; he's here too."

Chen Gu silently slapped his forehead, speechless.

The students all felt it was somewhat surreal. You, a newcomer who just debuted, make one phone call and your company's top star comes over? We're still students, inexperienced in the ways of the world, but even we understand that at a time like this, shouldn't it be you, the "rookie," taking the initiative to go backstage, meet Man Suling, and try to build connections with the top star?

However, what was even more astounding was that less than three minutes after the call, Man Suling actually appeared in their private box!

The future diva was very approachable. Not only did she lack any airs, but she also chatted casually with everyone. However, before she had even finished a few sentences, she shooed Chen Zili away and sat down beside Chen Gu herself!

Then, everyone saw her frequently roaring with laughter at jokes that weren't actually very funny, intentionally or unintentionally leaning towards Chen Gu!

The girl from before looked crestfallen and quietly moved to sit by the door. What did she have to compete with a diva?

The boys, however, had other ideas. So, in this family, the grandfather is the real hidden big shot! Why else would Man Suling give face to a newcomer like Chen Qingyu? It must be because she wants to get in with Chen Gu.

Chen Gu, being flirted with so openly in front of his grandson and granddaughter, felt his old face flush. He silently warned Man Suling several times, but since she had come alone today, without Gao Mengjiu to keep an eye on her, she was utterly fearless!

Fortunately, the matches started soon. The competition today was very exciting, and everyone's attention gradually shifted. But after today, no one in the student council would underestimate Chen Zili again; Chen Gu had inadvertently helped his grandson resolve the predicament he faced.

Finally, the moment for the headline match arrived. The entire audience's excitement reached a fever pitch. However, Aodora couldn't replicate last year's performance and, after a fierce twenty-minute battle, ultimately lost to Boraruz.

With this victory, Boraruz successfully defended his title as the "Alliance's Number One Player."

Chen Gu, however, observed, "This off-season, Boraruz must have undergone special training. His strength has increased, while Aodora has been treading water. Naturally, he was no match for Boraruz."

After the matches ended, everyone began to disperse. Chen Gu asked Chen Zili, "Are you coming with us, or going with your classmates?"

Chen Zili stole a glance at Yang Yaoyao. "I'll go with my classmates."

Chen Gu smiled. "Alright, off you go then."

So Chen Zili happily scampered off.

Before leaving, Chen Gu took Chen Qingyu and Man Suling to say goodbye to Bai Yunpeng. Bai Yunpeng was already somewhat intoxicated and, grabbing onto Chen Gu, rambled on endlessly. Left with no other choice, Chen Gu secretly sent a message to Bai Xianya. Soon after, she called Bai Yunpeng, and Chen Gu seized the opportunity to slip away.

Man Suling had her own car waiting, but she refused to take it, insisting that Chen Gu drive her home. This little she-wolf, when she got clingy, was just like a little vixen.

Chen Qingyu, having seen through it all, simply covered her mouth and snickered to herself.

Chen Gu planned to drop Man Suling off first, but the little she-wolf objected, "Send Qing Yu home first. She's younger and still in school; she can't get back too late."

This time, her ulterior motives were glaringly obvious! Chen Gu thought.

He shot a pleading look at his granddaughter, only to be ruthlessly betrayed by her, eager as she was to curry favor with her "big sister." "Sister's right, send me home first."

Chen Gu: "..."

After dropping Chen Qingyu off, only the two of them remained in the car. A man and woman alone, the atmosphere inside the car slowly grew charged. Chen Gu caught a special scent, as intoxicating as fine wine. He turned his head to find the little she-wolf had already snuggled closer…

The beastly side of her *Demon Mountain Werewolf* nature emerged; the beautiful female emitted a captivating mating scent, and Chen Gu almost lost control!

The night was still, a lone man and a lone woman in a top-of-the-line luxury car.

If something didn't happen, it would almost be a disservice to their respective sexes.

Man Suling was protected by Gao Mengjiu, and being a Professional herself, she had never encountered any situations in her many years in the entertainment industry where she was "forced against her will."

However, although she hadn't experienced such things firsthand, Man Suling had heard plenty of gossip among her colleagues and possessed a rich theoretical knowledge of various... positions. She also believed that with the powerful physiques of Professionals like herself and Chen Gu, they would undoubtedly be evenly matched, their encounter shaking the very earth! Whenever she thought about these things, her pretty face would flush, yet she was filled with anticipation.

It truly wasn't easy for Chen Gu to extricate himself! The process was far from smooth; in fact, it was quite awkward.

「...」

After the opening event, Chen Gu's "debut" was not far off. The very next day, the Alliance sent someone to contact him. "Mr. Chen," the representative said, "we're here to help you familiarize yourself with the Alliance's equipment and regulations in advance."

Chen Gu had already requested leave from the university. Since the school was still in its rebuilding phase and Professor Zhong Yuanbei couldn't conduct experiments anyway, there was little use in Chen Gu staying by his side. Consequently, Zhong Yuanbei had given him free rein for the time being.

Chen Gu, accompanied by officials from the Alliance, arrived at a training facility on the outskirts of the city. His primary tasks were to learn all the competition rules and to familiarize himself with the Alliance's 'consciousness-linking device.'

The rules aspect was actually quite straightforward, as many veteran fans possessed a level of understanding comparable to, if not exceeding, that of the Alliance's own referees.

Chen Gu was only slightly behind in this regard, so he didn't have much catching up to do. However, because he was an important "friend" of the Alliance, their preparations for him today were exceptionally thorough and considerate. They had even arranged for a senior referee to personally tutor him.

However, the Alliance was completely unaware of the [Brain Domain Hacker]'s terrifying memory. The moment the referee finished transmitting all the rules—including every detail and extended explanation—and was about to elaborate on some of the more difficult points, Chen Gu had already committed everything to memory.

"Alright," he said. "I've memorized it all. You can test me."

The referee was somewhat taken aback but assumed Chen Gu was simply a dedicated fan who had likely already spent considerable time thoroughly studying the rules.

He posed a few tricky questions, all of which Chen Gu answered fluently. The referee couldn't help but chuckle, "If every fan studied the Alliance's rules as diligently as you do, we referees would be in serious trouble."

Chen Gu merely smiled and offered no further explanation.
