Even the toughest bone would be crushed when faced with power.
Ji Boyan had been targeting Jing Zhou and his team, Five States, for a year, poaching their core members and severing their access to esports equipment and resources.
Yet, even so, Jing Zhou would rather cling to his dilapidated equipment than join his team.
Ifa talent couldn’t be controlled, it was better to destroy it.
“Young Master, you’re correct,” the assistant smiled. “His reaction speed is impressive, but the Galaxy team, being the top-ranked team in the Great Xia Empire with countless esports fans, doesn’t lack members and isn’t interested in him. Without joining the young master’s team, he can’t even participate in the OPL selection on his own.”
The Galaxy Team, the premier esports team of the Great Xia Empire, boasted an impressive number of fans.
What sets them apart was the rarity of having women on the team; both the team captain and the vice-captain were female.
The captain’s was reported to have reached 440, and with over four months until the OPL International Finals, there was a possibility she could match skills with Kill.
Everyone in the esports circle knew that the Great Xia Empire’s chance to break into the finals hinges on Galaxy’s performance.
“I still have patience; I’ll wait for him to come begging me,” Ji Boyan muttered with a huff. “Esports is his only talent, and at eighteen, he’s in the prime of his youth. If he can’t compete forever, it would be a waste.”
Speaking of which, he instructed his assistant, “After the official roster is released, if Five States is listed, make sure the teams in their group play aggressively against them. Do not let them advance from the group stage.” “Yes, Young Master, ” the assistant affirmed.
“Go,” Ji Boyan waved dismissively, “I’m going to check on the players’ training.” His ambition was clear: to lead the Ji family’s team to the world stage.
In An City, Si Fuqing’s newly purchased base was located outside the third ring, covering an area of 400 square meters.
It was equipped not only with an esports room but also several bedrooms for Jing Zhou and his teammates to rest.
That afternoon, the esports equipment Si Fuqing ordered online was all delivered.
“Above the Cloud?” Seeing the familiar logo, Jing Zhou paused, “Miss Si, are you an Above the Cloud member?”
Above the Cloud’s top products, naturally taking the high-end route, were exclusive to members.
However, becoming an Above the Cloud member was not easy.
“Ah, kind of,” Si Fuqing thought for a moment, lowering her voice, “Shh, actually, I used my boss’s account to buy them. He’s great, I need to make more money for him. ”
Jing Zhou didn’t ask further, simply nodding.
Si Fuqing’s support was a lifeline for him, even the most basic product was acceptable.
Yan Yi’an and the other two teammates began unboxing.
“Wait, this computer won’t do,” Si Fuqing raised her hand, “Don’t use it yet. Try the chairs, headphones, and keyboards first.”
Jing Zhou paused, “Not good?”
This was Above the Cloud’s latest gaming rig, the most advanced and top- tier configuration available, unmatched by any electronics company.
Above the Cloud had led the electronics industry for so long because its chips and systems were unique.
“Not quite there,” Si Fuqing opened a toolbox and took out a screwdriver, “I’ll fix it.”
In a matter of seconds, she had disassembled the computer and began expertly replacing components and installing chips.
The two teammates were stunned.
The only emotion in Jing Zhou’s pupils was shock, “…??”
He immediately looked at Yan Yi’an.
Yan Yi’an raised his hands, “Don’t look at me, I just found out too.”
His spirit was also crushed.
Jing Zhou fell silent.
Are stars nowadays this formidable?
Being good at games doesn’ t mean one can dismantle and program computers; these are entirely different fields.
Half an hour later.
“Done,” Si Fuqing dusted off her hands, “Try it, go to an arena and see your
APM.”
Jing Zhou, still in disbelief, booted up the newly assembled computer.
It started up quickly, and the game graphics were smooth and refined.
Logging into his account, Jingzhou entered the arena.
His rank was at challenger, quickly matching with someone of the same level.
Good esports equipment indeed could improve one’s APM.
Jing Zhou won the match in three minutes.
After the battle, the match history displayed his data.
APM: 445
His opponent began frantically asking in the chat which world ranking player he was.
“Captain, your APM has increased!” his teammates exclaimed excitedly. “You might surpass Kill!”
Jing Zhou was only eighteen, and he was still improving.
His fingers trembled, unable to calm down..
