Four minutes was considered a pass, and six minutes or more was considered excellent.
This was actually a very strict standard set by Bullet. In fact, according to the more conventional standards in the gaming circle, the requirement for a professional esports player's reaction speed was actually lower.
Not to mention, if it was a female player, the requirement could be even lower.
After all, there were very few female players who could reach the level of a professional esports player, let alone a legendary existence like No.5. She was the only one who had ever appeared in the entire history of esports.
So, before the challenge began, all three of them, including Bullet, expected Tang Bingyao to last between five and six minutes. Being able to last this long was already a very satisfactory result.
But for Tang Bingyao, that wasn't the case.
Because she wasn't satisfied.
She was so focused on the challenge that she did not hear the conversation between the seniors beside her. She did not know that even the rookie ADC from North America, Blade, had only achieved a record of 6: 08 in this game of hamsters.
Or rather, even if she knew, she wouldn't have cared too much.
Her understanding of the results of this game was purely based on the challenge that Bullet personally demonstrated.
8 minutes and 01 seconds.
Moreover, it was clearly an understatement of the result, which was completed with enough energy to spare.
In the girl's mind, if Bullet could do it so easily, then No.1 and Xiao Wu would definitely be able to do it as well. Lin Feng shouldn't be any worse.
Although she knew that she couldn't be compared to Lin Feng or these legendary seniors, at the very least, her reaction speed and hand speed were her greatest strengths and abilities.
Girls also had their own pride.
Even if she couldn't reach the level of these seniors or a certain someone, at the very least, since this was a challenge that tested her strongest ability, she shouldn't stop at five or six minutes.
She didn't think too much about it.
He didn't even think about what kind of uproar it would cause in the entire Esports circle if the news of his current achievements were to spread.
At this moment, there was indeed only one thought hovering in her mind.
I can continue.
You can do better.
He didn't know how long he would be able to hold on to that step.
But …
Right now, she could still persevere.
…
Six minutes and 25 seconds!
6 minutes and 30 seconds!
Number One couldn't help but be moved.
"This girl …"
"Amazing!"
Number Five looked at the girl in front of the gopher machine with sparkling eyes. He said to his fiancé, "So, we still underestimated her, right?"
Number One nodded without hesitation.
"I underestimated him."
"I've greatly underestimated him!"
His tone was filled with rare emotions and sighs.
Perhaps there were some words that only the two of them, as an engaged couple, had mentioned in private. Once, they compared the girl in front of them with the other girl. At that time, the conclusion that Number One came to was that the former was obviously inferior to the latter in terms of talent, comprehensive ability, and consciousness. Their conversation was even filled with regret for the cruel reality of the other girl.
But now …
In front of the gopher machine, the girl was still persisting in this game challenge, but she used reality to slap Number One in the face.
Talent?
Comprehensive ability?
Yes, perhaps in this aspect, the girl was indeed inferior to the other girl. This was indisputable.
But when it came to willpower …
Forget about comparing her to the other girl, even if one looked at the entire professional esports circle … no, even if one looked back from this generation to the previous generation, among the countless top prodigies who were as dazzling as the stars in the sky, they might not be able to find anyone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the girl in front of them!
"I've made a mistake …"
Number One let out a long sigh, but there wasn't the slightest bit of regret or annoyance in his voice. Instead, it was filled with praise and excitement.
Number Five couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not really a mistake.
"At least … this can be considered as recommending a truly perfect and ideal candidate for Bullet."
Bullet didn't reply.
In fact, at that moment, he didn't even have the mind to pay attention to what the two beside him were talking about. His entire mind was still on the girl in front of the gopher machine.
He clenched his fists even tighter.
That was because of excitement and surprise.
No.
It was ecstasy!
He couldn't help but feel a great sense of joy. At that moment, even his usually indifferent and unperturbed state of mind was shaken!
At that moment, he couldn't help but think back to the scene when he first tested Blade.
It was also the challenge of the gopher machine.
That disciple of his … After trying again and again, he finally realized the limits of his physical strength and ability. With regret, annoyance, and a bit of guilt and self-blame, he admitted his limit to him in a somewhat dejected manner. He could only stop here, at 6 minutes and 08 seconds.
The light in Bullet's eyes flickered —
At that time, he didn't blame his disciple too much because he knew that from a rational point of view, that was indeed the best Blade could do.
A result of 6 minutes and 08 seconds was enough for Blade to look down on most ordinary professional players.
But since then … there had always been a faint sense of regret in his heart.
Until now.
Until this moment.
When he looked at the girl in front of him with a ponytail. Even though her stamina had long been exhausted, her lips were pale, but she was still gritting her teeth and trying her best to reach a higher score —
Only then did he truly realize where his regrets lay.
And at that moment, his regret had been completely made up for.
Yes.
What he wanted was never a theoretical "standard of excellence", nor was it some rational judgment to "realize the limits of one's body".
What he wanted was the girl in front of him!
This kind of …
Even though he had already reached his limit, he still bit his lip and refused to give up. He was unwilling to consider any other objective reason, and he was purely holding on to the belief that he would not admit defeat, as if he was extremely reckless and stubborn to continue to hold on.
6 minutes and 40 seconds!
The girl's body was swaying uncontrollably.
But she still persisted!
6 minutes and 45 seconds!
Bullet, No.1, and No.5 could no longer restrain themselves. They subconsciously took two steps forward to get closer to Ye Ci.
Even though the three of them were legends who had seen too many storms, too many surprises, and too many geniuses, they couldn't stop their emotions from surging because of the girl in front of them.
It was as if they were witnessing an even more shocking miracle that they had never seen before.
6 minutes and 50 seconds!
Sweat dripped down from her eyelashes and almost blurred the girl's vision. The exhaustion of stamina and brain had caused her consciousness to become a little dazed and blank. But the girl still relied purely on her instincts to keep her eyes wide open. Her right hand on the control panel was still working hard, refusing to give up.
6 minutes and 55 seconds!
7 minutes!
At that moment, Bullet finally lost his calm and indifferent attitude. He was completely moved. He turned his head to look at No.1 and No.5 beside him and said in a deep voice:
"This favor …"
"I owe you!"
