Chapter 69 The older they get, the more monstrous they become!
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Taz's Veteran Never Dies (Passive)]
[Passive Description: Is esports a young person's game? That's not true for you! After acquiring this talent, your visual perception, neural reflexes, and muscle memory will never be worse than they are now (at age 20)!]
For each full year of professional play, you will have one opportunity to break the 90 limit in stats such as 'Mental State' and 'Awareness'.
[Note: In the next 30 years, CS may have undergone countless engine upgrades. The competitive scene will still be dominated by teenage prodigies, but there will be one exception—a fifty-year-old veteran still playing as a breacher.]
The white path, like a greedy mouse, quickly and meticulously scanned the descriptions and notes.
Upon seeing the note, Bai Dao couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
He really didn't know how to judge this passivity.
Is it a divine skill?
If s1mple and NiKo in 2027, 2028, and even 2030 saw this, they would be absolutely insanely jealous.
The golden age for esports players is very short.
CS is relatively better, with a well-established tournament system and complete tactical positions, allowing players to transition into command or coaching roles to continue their professional careers.
But that doesn't change the fact that esports is a young person's game.
Professional players have proven that 21 is the optimal point for balancing experience and reaction time, and also the golden peak.
Relatively speaking, the younger you are, the better your reaction and physical condition will always be.
This talent means he doesn't have to worry about his body declining.
The longer you play, the higher your potential becomes.
The older he gets, the more monstrous he becomes!
Having been reborn from the future, Bai Dao naturally realized that this passive skill was a divine ability!
But... this is a late-game talent!
"I'm only 20 years old! I'm only 20 years old! I just want to live... I just want to live a life of passion and excitement, what's wrong with that!"
Bai Dao rubbed his hair in pain.
Having lived two lives, this was the first time he had ever felt troubled by his youth.
This is like when you're at your lowest point, a beautiful insurance salesperson tries to sell you a 20-year annuity insurance policy, telling you how many tens of thousands you'll save each year, how high the interest rate will be, and how much money you'll have when you withdraw it.
Is it good? It really is good.
Is it necessary? Yes, it is.
But he's broke right now! What he needs is immediate combat power that he can convert into cash instantly!
It's said that a man over 25 is practically 60, meaning he can only reap the benefits of this passive talent at the earliest in five years!
This bag is so intriguing, it's both something to love and hate.
"Huh? Wait a minute!"
Bai Dao, who was feeling frustrated, suddenly paused for a moment. He belatedly realized that he had overlooked a very crucial sentence in the description of the talent.
"Play for a full year, and you'll get a chance to break through 90 in either 'Mental State' or 'Awareness' stats?"
Bai Dao sat up straight.
"Does this mean that the values measured by the measuring rod generally have an upper limit? Is 90 my limit, and I have to break through that limit to continue improving?"
"This system has a bit of a yakuza vibe to it?!"
In fact, Bai Dao was also somewhat aware at this point that the improvement of his highest mental state was getting slower and slower.
It's difficult to improve.
The same applies to other data.
In other words, the 90 threshold has been verified and is highly likely to exist.
And sooner or later we will encounter this threshold.
90 was a crucial foundation for his rise to the top!
Does this mean I'm destined to be a second-tier player my whole life?
He is not willing!
Thinking about this, he suddenly realized something.
Am I really just a second-tier, bottom-tier player?
Can a second-tier team really beat VP, who is currently in the top ten in the world?
Is it possible for them to have such an explosive performance?
He suddenly became somewhat doubtful.
Perhaps the second-tier marked by this measuring rod is not an ordinary second-tier, but the second-tier during the most prosperous and tactical period of CS in later generations!
Of course, there is another possibility.
Neither VP nor Monte are currently considered top-tier teams; they just happened to reach that position at this particular time.
For example, in later generations, Tianlu split and won the championship, rushing into the top ten.
Can you really say he's a top-tier player?
After that, they suffered a series of defeats, and their ranking even dropped out of the top 60 or 70.
Even if he can't compare to the top tier, with the added boost of mindset and insights from later generations, it's no wonder that his current performance is so outstanding!
That being said, he has the ability, but he lacks the energy!
If a best-of-three series goes the distance, I might not only faint in my chair but also lose the match.
He didn't want this game to become the epitome of his professional career.
The finals are in five or six hours, and he needs to be ready.
"Judging from their current condition, they definitely need an infant energy booster!"
Bai Dao gritted his teeth.
Now is not the time to save money.
Even so, Bai Dao stared at the ceiling, still feeling uncertain.
After these few matches, his tactical style, his habit of pressing forward, and even his reliance on the Desert Eagle in economic situations have been exposed to the scrutiny of European teams.
The more you expose yourself, the easier it is to be targeted.
Tonight's final will definitely be a tough battle.
buzzing.
My phone vibrated.
It is Bai Jiangyue.
Her cool, aloof voice came through the phone, tinged with a hint of mockery:
"Comrade Baidao, your physical condition isn't good either. Where did all your fitness training go?"
"Do you have kidney deficiency? You need to be more moderate, young man!"
"Kaze said in an interview that you almost fainted after the match. I thought it was a smokescreen, but now that I see it, you really look like you were completely drained."
"I just recently got a contract with Liuwei Dihuang Pills and wolfberry juice, so I'll arrange for the manufacturer to deliver them to your venue right now."
"Get lost! I'm just a little tired."
Bai Dao rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Do you think VP is some Tom, Dick, or Harry team? Every second they're calculating where the opponent might attack and how to break the deadlock. They've lost billions of brain cells! What does this have to do with kidneys?!"
Bai Dao became increasingly frustrated as he spoke.
Other people's younger sisters are all so sweet and caring; when their older brothers are exhausted after a competition, they're too busy looking after them and offering comfort.
Why does my younger sister always criticize me?
This girl used to be a bit arrogant and rebellious, but she never had such a sharp tongue.
The changes in just one month have been enormous.
He began to have some doubts about whether his initial decision was good or bad.
However, the white path has reflected on the fact that the intensity of the fitness efforts needs to be increased.
A better body leads to a stronger state of being.
At the very least, it can save him some rating points!
"Yes, yes, yes! You're absolutely right! You last the longest, you're not weak at all!"
Bai Jiangyue pursed her lips, giving him a knowing look.
"Seriously though. Take it easy, don't push yourself too hard. You can always come back from a loss, but if you lose your life, it's really over."
Bai Dao felt a warmth in his heart.
This girl may be cheeky enough to make you want to slap her, but she's still on my side.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't die tonight."
Bai Dao smiled and said, "But don't broadcast the finals in the early hours of the morning. Just go to sleep. You have to get up at 8 a.m. tomorrow."
"Tch, none of your business." Bai Jiangyue touched her face: "I need to keep my beautiful skin supple, so I won't stay up all night just to watch a few grown men play games."
"Besides, you guys almost died from exhaustion fighting against the world's ninth-ranked opponent. The next match will most likely be a revenge match against Monte, the world's seventh-ranked opponent, which will definitely be even worse."
"I'm not going to watch you get tortured. Let's save some of that image of the tall, strong older brother in my heart..."
Bai Dao shook his head, but a smile played on his lips.
The two chatted for a while longer, sharing interesting stories from their lives, before ending the call.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Dao opened the online store, ready to purchase infant energy potions.
