To prevent fans from harassing the players, the backstage passageway was usually closed during the competition. The only people who knew the backstage passageway were the professional players, coaches, and venue staff.
It would take at least half an hour to leave the venue with the audience. Since they could leave early, Ye Shaoyang didn't think too much about it. He stood up and said to his brother, "Xiao Rui, let's go."
Qin Rui, who was still in a daze, came back to his senses. He quickly followed behind his brother and whispered in Ye Shaoyang's ear, "Brother, aren't you afraid that he's a scammer and you really want to go with him?"
Ye Shaoyang held back his laughter and said, "He didn't give me a gift of 200,000 just to trick me. He doesn't look like someone who's crazy."
Qin Rui still couldn't believe it. "So, he really is a coach and wants you to be an esports player?"
Ye Shaoyang: "Yes."
As they spoke, the two of them had already followed Chi Shuo to a secret door near the stage.
Chi Shuo took out a card from his pocket and placed it in the sensor area. The secret door opened in front of them. He bent down and walked in. He turned around and said to Ye Shaoyang, "Be careful, there are stairs here."
Ye Shaoyang walked up the stairs and pulled Xiao Rui inside.
After going up a flight of stairs, they arrived at the lobby on the second floor.
The lobby was brightly lit, and Ye Shaoyang could see clearly that the boy in front of him was nearly 1.9 meters tall, half a head taller than him. Alpha's legs were straight and slender, and he had the body of a model that people envied.
Ye Shaoyang looked up at him. "Are we going out from the backstage?"
Chi Shuo nodded. "If we go out from here, we'll reach the parking lot on the second floor of the eSports Center. We'll just drive there."
The two of them followed behind him through a wide corridor. Ye Shaoyang found that there were many rooms on both sides of the long corridor, including the lounge, the audience area, the interview area, and so on.
"Xiao Xing, why don't I see your master?" "Master didn't come today. He's resting in the hotel." "Oh, I was wondering why Captain Chi didn't come to such an important match." "Oh, I was wondering why Captain Chi didn't come."
A young boy suddenly ran out of the viewing area and almost bumped into Ye Shaoyang. The young man was stunned for a moment. He looked up at Ye Shaoyang in confusion. His eyes seemed to say, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Ye Shaoyang smiled politely at him and walked past him to catch up with Chi Shuo.
Cheng Xing scratched his head. He felt that the tall man in front of him looked like his master from the back. Before he could say anything, the man's back quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Chi Shuo walked very quickly. There were too many pro players and reporters in the audience area. If he bumped into them, it would be hard to explain. Ye Shaoyang quickly caught up with him. In less than three minutes, they exited the backstage area and went straight to the parking lot on the second floor.
The design of the Star City Esports Center's arena was very considerate.
If the contestants left from the second floor, they would be able to avoid the audience coming from the first floor.
Chi Shuo came to the front of a black car. The car sensed the approach of its owner and automatically turned on its daytime running lights. He opened the back door and said politely, "Get in."
Ye Shaoyang sat in the back with his brother. Chi Shuo went to the driver's seat and started the car.
The black car quickly drove out of the parking lot and headed to the nearby highway.
Ye Shaoyang looked out the window at the air traffic network outside. He had been playing games at home ever since he came to this world. Today was his second time going out. He was still unfamiliar with this city. He would probably get used to it in the future.
He had always been a homebody. If there was food and drink, he could stay in the base for half a year.
Half an hour later, the car exited the highway and turned into a relatively remote road. Ye Shaoyang looked up and saw a sign hanging on a building in the distance. It said, "Star City Esports Youth Training Camp."
Chi Shuo whispered, "The country places a lot of importance on the training of youth trainees. Star City has a youth training camp. Children who are interested in playing esports will be sent here by their parents to take a test. Those who pass the test can undergo a period of trial training. The major teams will also go to the youth training camp every year to select players. "
This kind of training system was really good. It wouldn't bury the talents who were suitable to play esports.
And those who dreamed of playing esports but didn't meet the requirements could also pass the professional test. They would know that they didn't have the talent to give up their dreams and find another way.
Ye Shaoyang asked with interest, "What does the test include?"
He didn't know if it was the same as the test for esports players in his previous life.
Chi Shuo said, "You'll find out later."
He turned the car into the parking lot and opened the door for Ye Shaoyang and Qin Rui to get out.
Chi Shuo took out his phone and dialed someone's number. "Hello, Coach Xu, I'm here … Um, go directly to the second floor? Okay, see you later. "
He hung up the phone and looked back at Ye Shaoyang. "Let's go. I've already told Coach Xu to borrow their testing equipment."
Ye Shaoyang followed him into the building.
The afternoon competition lasted for three and a half hours. It was already six o 'clock in the evening when they arrived.
It was dinnertime. The newcomers of the youth training camp poured into the cafeteria to eat. Ye Shaoyang met many seventeen or eighteen-year-old youths in the stairwell. They all looked at him curiously.
Seeing him walk to the testing center on the second floor, many of the youth trainees whispered in confusion. "Who is this guy?"
"I've never seen him before. Is he here to take the test?"
"The mask is so tight. I can't see his face!"
"The kid walking at the back is quite cute. He looks like an Omega."
"An Omega is here to take the test? No way. "
Qin Rui heard the whispers. His ears turned red. "Brother, I don't want to take the test. I'm afraid … I'll fail."
Ye Shaoyang smiled at his brother. "You can try. What if you have the talent?"
Qin Rui immediately waved his hand. "I can't do it. I couldn't press my skill for a long time when I was in a team fight. I'll wait for you outside." He obediently went outside and found a stool to sit down.
Chi Shuo pointed at the door in front of them and said to Ye Shaoyang, "It's here."
There was a sign on the door that read "Esports Player Talent Testing Center." Ye Shaoyang remembered that GD Team used to have a testing center like this. The familiar sign made him smile.
Chi Shuo knocked on the door. A rough voice came from inside. "Come in."
When he pushed the door open, he saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes. The man had a beard, messy hair, and slovenly appearance. He looked like a beggar's elder who had just woken up.
Ye Shaoyang was speechless.
Chi Shuo introduced him. "This is Coach Xu, the head coach of the Star City Youth Training Camp. Many of the professional players who graduated from the Star City Youth Training Camp received his guidance when they were new."
Coach Xu laughed. "There's no need for guidance. It should be a beating."
He reached out his arms and hugged Chi Shuo. He lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Chi, what do you mean? Why do you have to wear a hat and a mask when you come to the base? Are you trying to put on airs with me? "
Chi Shuo said softly, "He just came from the arena. The situation is special. I'm trying to understand. Please help me test this person's talent. "
Coach Xu looked at the person beside him and met a pair of bright eyes with a smile.
That pair of eyes was confident and calm. There was no trace of nervousness or panic in an unfamiliar place. Just this psychological quality alone was much better than the new players who came to the base for the first time and were trembling with fear.
Coach Xu had a good first impression of him. He raised his eyebrows and asked while sipping his tea, "Kid, you want to play esports too? How old are you? "
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "Coach, I'm not a kid. I'm 21 years old."
Coach Xu almost spat out his tea. He looked at Chi Shuo with a puzzled expression. His eyes seemed to say, "Are you crazy? Why did you bring a 21-year-old for the test?"
Chi Shuo whispered, "Let's test it and see."
Coach Xu put down his teacup and waved to Ye Shaoyang. "Okay, come with me."
He led Ye Shaoyang into the room next door.
There were a lot of professional testing equipment here. Coach Xu pointed to a computer and motioned for Ye Shaoyang to sit down. "The first test is very simple. Later, different colors will appear on the computer screen. The moment the colors change, you immediately press the mouse. This test is to test your reaction speed."
Ye Shaoyang asked, "How many milliseconds are required for an esports player's reaction speed?"
One second was equal to 1,000 milliseconds. An esports player's reaction speed was indeed calculated in milliseconds. In his previous life, an esports player's reaction speed in China was 150 to 170 milliseconds, which was 0.15 to 0.17 seconds.
Coach Xu said, "To achieve 150 to 170 milliseconds for a professional esports player, you need to test it five times. The fluctuation of the values during these five tests cannot exceed 30 milliseconds."
The rules were the same as in his previous life.
An ordinary person's reaction speed was usually above 220 milliseconds (0.22 seconds). An esports player's reaction speed was 150 to 170 milliseconds (0.03 seconds) for five tests in a row. Fluctuations of 30 milliseconds (0.03 seconds) could not occur. Fluctuations of 30 milliseconds (0.03 seconds) meant that the player would not be stable enough on the field. This was something that the coaches and teammates did not want to see.
Ye Shaoyang nodded. "Understood. Let's start."
Coach Xu pressed the start button. Ye Shaoyang immediately became focused.
The color block in the middle of the screen would suddenly change color. At the moment of change, he quickly pressed the mouse and the computer automatically recorded the data. After five tests in a row, Coach Xu looked at him with some surprise. "Five tests in a row, all 0.15 seconds. Your reaction speed is very fast and very stable!"
Chi Shuo stood to the side and did not speak.
Coach Xu became excited as if he had found a rare animal. "Come on, next test."
The second test was a dynamic vision test.
In the blank area in the middle of the computer, a random arrangement of small squares would appear. These squares would only stay in front of the player for one second. The player had to capture the image, memorize it, and restore it in an instant.
At the beginning, there were only five or six small squares, which were relatively easy to remember. Later on, the number of squares would increase, and the arrangement would become more and more chaotic. An average person would be dazzled, let alone memorize it in an instant.
However, Ye Shaoyang sat calmly in front of the computer, and the mouse quickly clicked on the squares to restore them.
The fifth test, the tenth test … Until the thirteenth test, a dozen small squares flashed in front of him in an instant and then disappeared. He could actually restore them perfectly?
Coach Xu looked at Chi Shuo in surprise and asked with his eyes, "Where did you find this talent?"
Chi Shuo said in a low voice, "Next test."
Coach Xu withdrew his gaze and adjusted the test equipment to the third test. "The third test is a dynamic vision anti-interference test. You will see six numbers flash in front of your eyes on the screen. You need to memorize them immediately and type the corresponding numbers with the keyboard to restore them quickly."
Just six numbers flashing by was not difficult to remember.
However, the dynamic vision anti-interference test not only had numbers, but also a large number of graphics, symbols, and even Japanese, Korean, French, and other characters. The six numbers were mixed in with these messy characters. The tester needed to capture them in an instant, memorize them, and type them out on the keyboard as they were.
Ye Shaoyang stared at the screen attentively.
The first test, 678931.
The second test, 901352.
…
Those flashing numbers mixed in with Japanese, Korean, English, and French always reflected in his eyes and mind. This was the "dynamic vision anti-interference detection ability" that professional players had to have.
Many newcomers who wanted to play in e-sports competitions would be stuck at this test during the test.
They could not even capture the numbers, let alone memorize them!
Ye Shaoyang could do it.
He sat calmly in front of the computer, his slender fingers typing quickly on the keyboard.
His eyes were on the screen, and his hands were typing blindly. There were 13 strings of numbers in a row.
Not a single one was correct.
At this point, Coach Xu's eyes were full of surprise. He hurriedly pulled Ye Shaoyang aside and said, "The fourth test is the coordination of hands, eyes, and brain. The row of buttons in front of you will flash at random, and the speed will get faster and faster. You need to use your hands to hit the flashing buttons. If you hit the wrong button or miss it, it will be counted as a mistake. It will last for 60 seconds. "
It was a bit like a game of whack-a-mole.
This test tested the coordination of hands, eyes, and brain. It was the most crucial test to determine a player's "effective hand speed." Sometimes, your brain knew what skills to use in a team fight, but your hands could not press them. This was what netizens often called "bad hands."
Actually, it was not that your hands were bad. It was that your hands could not keep up with your brain's commands.
E-Sports players needed to achieve a high level of coordination and unity between their eyes, hands, and brain. When their eyes found the enemy and their brain decided what to do, their hands would immediately react.
Countless testers were stuck at this test. The flashing of the buttons would get faster and faster. Several buttons would flash at the same time within 0.1 seconds, and both hands would have to be pressed together.
The test began.
Ye Shaoyang's hands were seen pressing the flashing buttons at lightning speed. He was like a pianist playing the piano keys at lightning speed.
He did not panic, nor was he nervous …
His expression was calm from beginning to end.
The test lasted for 60 seconds. The flashing of the buttons got faster and faster. Ye Shaoyang's hands also got faster and faster. At this moment, the boy's slender and fair fingers seemed to be dancing a gorgeous dance.
Coach Xu looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.
Because on the screen of the test instrument, the error rate so far was 0.
Even with such a fast tapping speed, there were still zero misses and zero mistakes!
Coach Xu and Chi Shuo looked at each other and gasped.
The 60 seconds quickly ended. He had pressed the buttons 300 times in 60 seconds. The accuracy rate was 100%.
Ye Shaoyang looked at the results, smiled slightly, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Coach Xu came to his senses and said, "The last test, the suspension test."
The suspension test was very simple. The tester was given a pen and had the tip of the pen hover in an extremely small groove. The tip of the pen could not touch the walls of the groove.
The stability of the hands was tested.
Coach Xu took a deep breath and said, "Don't underestimate this test. Less than 10% of the testers can pass. You have to stay still in the 2.5-millimeter groove for 60 seconds. You can't touch the walls."
Ye Shaoyang nodded. He picked up the pen with his right hand and held the tip of the pen in the 2.5-millimeter groove.
His hand was very steady.
For 60 seconds, his hand did not move at all. The pen in his hand seemed to be completely still.
He switched to his left hand.
Similarly, for 60 seconds, his fingers did not move at all. He was like a completely still statue.
60 seconds passed quickly. The instrument showed that he passed!
Coach Xu printed the test results and handed them to Chi Shuo. His expression was very complicated.
The first test, instantaneous reaction speed. Reaction speed was 0.15 seconds in all five tests. Evaluation: S.
The second test, dynamic vision. Passed all 13 tests of the highest difficulty. Evaluation: S.
The third test, anti-interference dynamic capture ability, Level-13. Passed all tests. Evaluation: S.
The fourth test, coordination of hands, eyes, and brain. 60 seconds, 300 keystrokes. Accuracy rate 100%. Evaluation: S.
The fifth test, suspension stability. 60 seconds, 2.5-millimeter aperture. Number of errors: 0. Evaluation: S.
Chi Shuo took the test form. There were five distinct "S" ratings. He was an extremely rare gifted player.
Coach Xu whispered in his ear, "F * ck, where did you find this treasure? It's exactly the same as your test results. A 5S rating! If you train him well, he'll definitely be a talent! "
Chi Shuo smiled slightly.
Yes, he had a hunch.
He had found a treasure.
