Chapter 81: Chapter 76: That Rare Kind_2

Seeing the situation,

Chen Yun, who had secretly fine-tuned the strength of the Killing Intent Wall, shook his head with amusement, "Some puppies just never learn their lesson, do they?"

But after this, Bai Jin would probably be extremely wary of this place.

...

Shucheng.

The local branch of a well-known CS battle platform in Hua Country.

"Captain Liu, long time no see."

Hou Junsheng and Liu Junqiang, who had traveled a long way, shook hands.

Enthusiasm radiated from his face.

He held considerable respect for this former professional team captain, who had made significant contributions to CS in Hua Country, and to Hua Country esports as a whole.

"Mr. Hou, what about the matter I discussed with you over the phone?"

"Is there any chance of adding another person to the IEM Shucheng competition?"

Liu Junqiang was eager, getting straight to the point.

He didn’t fly all the way to Shucheng just to chit-chat.

Hearing this, Hou Junsheng responded with a bitter smile, "Captain Liu, please don’t put me in a tough spot."

"The starting lineup and the substitute roster were already reported to the ESL and made public, it’s impossible to make changes now."

"And...aren’t you getting a bit ahead of yourself? A kid whose skills are unverified could actually be Hua Country’s hope for CS?"

Hou Junsheng felt somewhat helpless.

The calibre of this international event wasn’t small, and with Intel sponsoring it, Shucheng authorities were also taking the competition very seriously.

Every aspect had to be handled cautiously with no room for error.

He was involved in organizing the international competition only because it was held in Hua Country, and he didn’t have the exaggerated power to make such adjustments.

Adding a person to an already confirmed roster seemed an insurmountable task.

"You don’t understand; it’s not about whether he’s a genius or not, he’s truly that kind of..."

"That very rare kind of..."

Liu Junqiang, growing increasingly agitated, struggled to find the words.

Ever since he was stupefied by that "no worries, two minutes is great", he had meticulously watched every gameplay video of that player, poring over each game they played, frame by frame.

And then he noticed something.

This "no worries, two minutes is great" player didn’t seem to be cheating. His gaming skills had a clear trajectory of improvement.

It wasn’t overnight.

It was just that he improved with every single game, perhaps a bit too quickly.

Ignoring his initial lackluster game records, starting from his first game showcasing prodigious talent, one could see in slow motion frame by frame that with every gun shift, there was indeed an enemy appearing in the crosshairs, not being dragged aimlessly by a lock-on cheat.

His targeting was intentional, with the angles and movement akin to human playing habits.

The only issue...

His reflexes were too fast, almost too quick for the game’s frame rate or the refresh rate of the images to keep up.

In short, this truly was a genius with quick reflexes and quick progress, not some cheat.

At least, that’s what Liu Junqiang thought, based on his years of gaming experience.

So, he was indeed very excited.

If such a person appeared on the competitive stage, he could become the true deity dominating CS! The likes of "Simple Boy" and "French Cannon," the top rankers, would pale in comparison.

Because no one else was quite on his level.

When regular international wins came, the country would likely start taking this game more seriously, fostering a better esports atmosphere.

"I understand, I understand, just calm down for a moment."

"In any case, we need to first verify he’s not cheating, right? And we should at least have him become a professional player."

"Next month’s IEM is out of the question, but there’s the December major, also hosted in our country. Why not let him compete openly as a professional then?"

Hou Junsheng smiled, continuing the conversation in line with Liu Junqiang’s thoughts.

Although he was just a game platform manager, unconcerned with Hua Country CS’s lack of achievements, he didn’t want to butt heads with an excited Liu Junqiang and potentially upset him.

His words also conveyed his position that for next month’s IEM, incorporating a genius kid who wasn’t even a professional player right now was just not feasible.

"You’re right, we should invite him and check if he’s using cheats!"

"Do you know his personal information?"

Liu Junqiang looked at Hou Junsheng with anticipation. Even though he was exhilarated, he didn’t have the slightest idea how to contact the player in question.

And he was sure that Hou Junsheng knew.

He was eager for the resurgence of Hua Country CS. Having once briefly led Hua Country CS to the international stage, he was ultimately denied the highest honor.

Now, with Hua Country CS on the wane, the fire within him had faded considerably. However, with "no worries, two minutes is great" on the scene, a flicker of hope had been rekindled.

Hearing this,

Hou Junsheng’s face showed a trace of resignation.

"I told you before, he doesn’t want us to reveal any of his information. We received a legal notice at our Hangzhou headquarters early on."

"You have no idea how baffled we were to suddenly receive that notice from one of the top ten law firms in the world, which only serves big capital sharks."

Hou Junsheng, spreading his hands in a helpless gesture, continued,

If it weren’t for that player’s background, they would have banned him countless times already for behavior worse than that of cheaters.

But now, they didn’t dare touch him.

Besides, their company certainly didn’t want to risk a clash with an internationally renowned legal firm over something as trifling as leaking personal information.

As long as they abided by the law and kept the player’s information confidential, they could act as if nothing had happened.

Hearing this,

Liu Junqiang’s face showed a mix of disappointment and helplessness.

"The kid doesn’t seem to want fame. Why don’t you try waiting for him online some time? Keep asking around when you’re free?"

"And instead of chasing a young talent, why don’t you check out the Lyg and Di Lu teams currently training for glory? They came early to train for the IEM Shucheng event."

"You could share some of your veteran experience with them; maybe it could help them achieve a good ranking."

Hou Junsheng offered a subtle smile, silently changing the subject.

Liu Junqiang didn’t quite catch the last few sentences.

But the first sentence was perfectly clear to him.

Go online... and wait for him!

A lightbulb went on in Liu Junqiang’s head.

Though he was still exchanging pleasantries with Hou Junsheng, his mind had already taken flight.
