And thus, the Internet was full of speculation.

Suddenly, [Domination] confirmed their participation in the fourth Zerg Invasion tournament.

Yu Xi, who was a certified member of [Domination] posted a Weibo:

[We’re back.]

Once this news came out, the gaming community exploded:

[Domination is finally back! My youthful days are back!]

[Ahhhhh! I feel like our domestic teams have a chance of winning the championships again!]

[That’s not necessarily true. Their skill level back then is not necessarily comparable to the skills of our current professional teams. The times have changed. However, I’m still looking forward to their performance this season.]

[Well, they’re still better than our current domestic teams. Our current teams have played in so many tournaments. However, they haven’t even gotten into the top three! This is so depressing for us fans.]

[That’s true. I’m super keen to see a domestic team enter the finals!]

However, these comments made the fans of other domestic teams unhappy:

[A certain team came second in a tournament three years ago. Why are their fans still bragging about it?]

[Did they forget what happened three years ago? Their carries were missing from the finals! In fact, they got utterly destroyed in the final match. A lot of viewers demanded a refund on their tickets.]

[They haven’t even played yet! The times have changed. Even the team that won the tournament last year wouldn’t dare to say that they can win again!]

And thus, the fans kept arguing on the Internet.

In contrast, the four members of [Domination] did not react to this commotion at all.

The Beijing branch of Huan You Technology Corporation.

Jian Yuncheng was currently seated in his office. As he looked at the form that [Domination] submitted, the corners of his mouth showed a rare smile.

“Can you stop smiling? You’re so creepy when you smile like that…”

Huo Yu was lying down on a sofa in Jian Yuncheng’s office.

“Do you have nothing to do?”

“No, no. I have a lot to do,” Huo Yu hurriedly replied. Ahhh, why did he say those words?

Then, Huo Yu opened his phone to look at the news on the Internet.

It turned out that Jian Yiling had signed up for the fourth Zerg Invasion tournament.

“You’re happy about this? Wow, have you become a degenerate? It seems as though you can only rely on games to attract her attention. That’s sort of sad.”

“It also seems as though you have a lot of time on your hands.”

“No, no! Definitely not,” Huo Yu hastily replied. “I’m busy with a lot of work!”

Even though Huo Yu was mentally telling himself off for saying some things, he continued to diss Jian Yuncheng.

When he noticed that Jian Yuncheng hadn’t “punished” him, Huo Yu laughed and said: “Back in the days, Yiling was awesome! Her team might actually win this time around! Domestic teams will finally have a chance in the tournament!”

Although Jian Yuncheng was the CEO of Huan You Technology Corporation, he could not interfere with the rankings in the competition.

This company wasn’t only owned by him.

Furthermore, the game Zerg Invasion wasn’t his as well.

The glory of a game belonged to all of its players. It had nothing much to do with the CEO of the company.

Huo Yu was also a big fan of Zerg Invasion. Every year, he watched domestic teams get crushed by foreign teams. Although he was sad about this, he could do nothing about it.

“Yeah she can,” Jian Yuncheng replied with a calm and confident voice.

Then, Huo Yu said: “Also, when will you let Yiling call me Brother Yu?”

“Don’t even think about it.”

“Why?”

“You can go to work now.”

“Wait… But…”

“You can work overtime today.”

“Hey…”

Then, Huo Yu was thrown out of Jian Yuncheng’s office and forced to work overtime.
