The competitive game they played had a pretty decent character customization feature. Regardless of their position in the team, even if one chose a heavy fire role, they could still tweak and pinch the character into a 1.5-meter-tall big-chested Lolita if they wished.
Seeing the long-lost ID "Bambi," Ying Xi and the others couldn’t help but feel nostalgic. They were still young, each member of the Fierce Eagle Team One averaging just over twenty.
Some of them were really just internet-addicted teens, good at playing games but viewed by everyone as not focusing on real jobs. It was watching Bambi compete that made them aware of esports as a legitimate career path.
So along the way until today, with yearly signing bonuses, various endorsements, and live streaming revenues, their annual income could hit seven or even eight figures— something unimaginable in their internet cafe addict days.
After that, they never saw the ID that could be considered the enlightener of their esports path. Seeing it now inevitably made them sigh and reminisce about their naïve and spirited youth.
It was as if this ID not only bore the years spent by Bo Jingshen but also carried the memories of their youth.
Ying Xi took a closer look at Bambi’s game character’s appearance and honestly, he might not have noticed before, but now, looking closely, this game character’s appearance...
Before Ying Xi could speak, a teammate whispered beside him, "Is it just me, or does B-god’s character look..."
He hadn’t finished speaking when another teammate quietly added, "...like Miss Su? You’re not wrong, I feel the same. Maybe it proves that saying? Beautiful people all look alike, only the ugly ones are unique."
There was some truth to that.
Su Lu and Jiang Li had walked up from behind and sat down on the couch in the training room. There was a large projection screen in the room which was already connected to Bo Jingshen’s device, displaying Bo Jingshen’s game character, rotating 360 degrees.
Fully showcasing the character’s appearance.
Although she couldn’t say it was a hundred percent alike, she couldn’t deny the resemblance either. At least seventy percent similar, she had to admit... Bo Jingshen was quite skilled at character customization.
"Eh?" Jiang Li, who probably never realized this before, looked at the projection screen, then at Su Lu, and back again, touching his chin thoughtfully and said, "No wonder I always found you familiar but couldn’t pinpoint the reason. I just thought it was because we’re both from Feng City, maybe we had met before. Never expected the reason to be this."
Su Lu didn’t respond, just quickly pointed at the projection screen, "It’s starting."
Fortunately, she diverted Jiang Li’s attention.
Due to the need for playback during training games, the screen was divided into two sections; one for the live game and the other for recording the players, mainly focusing on their hands to see if any mistakes were related to their hand movements during replays. Also, improper postures could be noticed and corrected immediately during the review.
Due to the common occupational hazards among esports players, many experienced a decline due to injuries. Correcting improper postures early and training muscle memory with proper posture was essential to prolonging their professional careers.
At this moment, the screen showed Bo Jingshen’s slender, beautiful fingers, a treat for fans who adored hands.
It was a good thing that when he first competed, the concept of esports wasn’t clear, there weren’t many spectators, and the equipment wasn’t as good.
Otherwise, with the present scale of esports development, someone like him, even with average skills, could have captivated fans with just his hands and face, let alone his superior skills.
Bo Jingshen’s slender fingers danced on the keyboard, and in the game, the character he controlled moved adroitly.
Initially, he was a bit unaccustomed and died four times in a row.
Fierce Eagle Team’s members were all excited, itching to give it a try.
After all, although idols are usually adored, in the realm of esports, it’s different. Here, to personally knock down an idol or to beat an idol feels like... a kind of inheritance.
So, they tried their hardest, using every skill they had.
But Jiang Li foresaw the outcome early.
"You mean..." Su Lu said, "they will lose?"
"They will. Only Xiao Xi might just manage to fight evenly," Jiang Li said confidently.
"That good?" Su Lu was somewhat surprised.
Even knowing what kind of person Bo Jingshen was, capable and right at anything he did, she was still taken aback.
"Yeah, skills are vital, but sometimes it’s more about the mindset. Top players are nearly the same in micro-operation details; what sets them apart is their mentality. A good mentality can make a huge difference in handling crises," Jiang Li explained with insight, having studied and experienced this industry himself.
He spoke and then laughed, "And Bo Jingshen’s mentality really is excellent."
Su Lu, not much of a gaming fanatic herself, found herself drawn into the live game footage on the projection.
And maybe... because Bo Jingshen’s character looked quite similar to her, watching the live game gave her quite... an indescribable feeling.
She just watched the character move nimbly across the screen, beating the other Fierce Eagle team members hands down.
Just as Jiang Li predicted!
In the end, only Ying Xi could compete closely with Bo Jingshen.
As Jiang Li explained, because Ying Xi had gone through quite a lot as well, his mentality was very stable. He might not necessarily lose to Bo Jingshen, and he was right about that.
After a few rounds, the Fierce Eagle team members, initially quite excited, were all disheartened.
"Old soldiers never die, they just fade away." They all blew rainbow-colored gas, their expressions somewhat evasive.
But Bo Jingshen clearly wasn’t buying this. He gave them a chilly line...
"How come, it looks like you guys are really interested in the sweet potato business?"
The Fierce Eagle team members didn’t dare, and honestly admitted, "Boss, we were wrong. We’ll train properly."
Although they indeed lost, Bambi’s performance this time was like an injection of adrenaline, enhancing their training effectiveness considerably.
Bo Jingshen stood up, turned around, and saw Su Lu and Jiang Li sitting on the couch behind him.
His expression stiffened for an instant, he immediately, almost in no time, turned off his game interface.
