"Um... excuse me for interrupting, but can playing games be considered a talent?"
Jian Xiaohao next to him suddenly made a argumentative remark.
However, his purpose was obviously not to argue, but rather he looked hopeful, eager to try, and a little excited.
Seeing Jian Xiaohao's expression, Chen Leyao immediately understood that no matter whether Xia Xu's gaming talent was true or not, at least his love for games was definitely true - although this was a common situation that was easy to guess.
"Of course it can be considered a talent. Aren't there many professional gamers who make a living by playing games? For example, they fight for equipment in online RPG games and help others level up in competitive games.
Since these people can make a living from this, then playing games can naturally be a profession.
Moreover, some competitive games hold competitions with prize money to be won. It is not wrong to regard competitive games as a sport and call them athletes. It is just that the Chinese people still have prejudices against games. "
Xia Xu smiled and said, "This era belongs to us young people. Sooner or later, this kind of prejudice will become less and less. I believe that in a few years, game players will be able to become a legitimate profession through various forms, and even a high-income profession. It is possible that it will be included in the Olympics as a sport."
He said it was possible, but there was a certainty in his tone that even he hadn't noticed, which made people very convinced.
After all, he had witnessed and experienced all these scenes before.
Even if we move to Planet Aquamarine, humans are still humans, and many things are similar, all leading to the same destination.
"Can you enter the Olympics by playing games?"
Jian Xiaohao's eyes were filled with excitement and passion after hearing what Xia Xu said.
"I don't know about the Olympics, but the Asian Games is very likely, but only in e-sports games. After all, sports are essentially competitions, and they also need to be entertaining enough, which only e-sports games can satisfy."
Xia Xu smiled and interrupted Jian Xiaohao's reverie: "Look, I have answered so many of your questions. Can you do me a favor and verify my words and convince Miss Chen?"
"Well, I don't know if I'm as good at playing games as you say, but I'm definitely better than my friends. I reached the God King level in War of the Gods, and I also made it to the top 100 in the domestic server in Gun God Era, but then I stopped playing..."
Jian Xiaohao laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to prove it, so he could only count the games he had played.
The games he mentioned were all from Planet Aquamarine, but they were mostly MOBA or FPS shooting games, all of which had strong competitive elements, which was highly consistent with the competitive games that Xia Xu had emphasized before.
"Although I really want to say that you are a blind cat that caught a dead mouse, I have to say that you have convinced me a little bit."
Chen Leyao was really surprised this time.
She is not a nerd as the stereotype of academic masters suggests. To be honest, with her talent, the energy required to complete her studies is not as much as ordinary people imagine. She actually has some exposure to games, but her interest is not in that area.
Besides, even if she really had no knowledge of games, she could at least understand the words "top 100 in China" and naturally knew what the concept was.
Being one of the top 100 people in the country, even if it is limited to that group of gamers, this is a rare existence.
She was not sure whether he could reach the four-star level or be the best in the industry as Xia Xu mentioned, but this waiter definitely deserved to be called a person with extraordinary gaming talent.
Moreover, Xia Xu’s comment on the concept of professional players is also very interesting.
Although we don't know the specific process of reaching this conclusion, even if it's just a guess or even a random guess, the increasingly developed gaming industry is clearly an inevitable trend, and the scene described by Xia Xu may actually happen.
Competitive games and competitive players may really become a mainstream trend in the future, and also mean a possible new business opportunity.
This keen sense of wind direction can essentially be considered a kind of "vision".
Vision does not necessarily mean being able to see clearly. Being able to see many possibilities is also vision, and the latter is sometimes more important than the former.
Even if this situation and statement is impossible, it would be a great idea to use it as a lie to fool others.
For example, develop an e-sports game, hold your own competition with great fanfare, and hype up the trend of joining the Olympics in the future, so that players can not only get pleasure and satisfaction from the game, but also have a dream of becoming a professional e-sports player or even a dream of becoming an athlete who wins glory for the country.
As long as the game itself has a certain degree of competitiveness and entertaining value, coupled with sufficient publicity and event scale, the significance of this game to players will undergo a qualitative change, and it will definitely become an indelible mark in the history of games.
"Then can I welcome you, Miss Chen, to join Xinghai Venture Capital?"
Xia Xu immediately smiled brightly when he heard that.
Seeing that the two of them were talking about serious matters, Jian Xiaohao tactfully left the box first.
Chen Leyao smiled but did not answer. She just said, "Actually, I'm very curious about something now."
"What's the matter? Tell me everything you know."
Xia Xu was slightly stunned, then said.
"How many stars do I have according to your criteria, Mr. Xia? Are you really trying so hard to hire me because you see my talent?"
Chen Leyao asked with a smile.
"Of course, as pure as I am, beauty is like a floating cloud to me. I only value Miss Chen's talent."
Xia Xu looked righteous and said, "You should know that Miss Chen is a five-star talent in my evaluation criteria. Compared with this, everything else is not worth mentioning."
"Oh? I didn't expect that I was rated so highly in Mr. Xia's eyes? Four stars is already the best in the industry. Can you explain what five stars means?"
Chen Leyao was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Xia Xu to think so highly of her.
Four-star rating already makes up a small group of the best in the industry, is there anyone better
"The limit of human beings, or inhuman level."
Xia Xu explained.
"So you're saying I'm not human?"
Chen Leyao pretended to be unhappy, raised her eyebrows, frowned her nose slightly, and the hint of coquettish charm that she inadvertently revealed made Xia Xu instantly feel a numbing sensation rising from his tailbone to the top of his head.
It's not an illusion, but a real tingling sensation, just like listening to AMSR.
He didn't know whether Chen Leyao was inhuman in terms of talent, but the charm that was deep in her bones and could be exuded unintentionally was indeed a bit inhuman.
"It's just a little joke. I hope you can take care of me in the future..."
Chen Leyao's deliberately angry expression could not be suppressed and turned into a light laugh. She stretched out her white and slender right hand, smiled and called softly: "Boss?"
"It's too early to call me boss now. I also have conditions. I hope Miss Chen can agree to them."
Xia Xu did not shake hands with Chen Leyao, but instead looked solemn.
"Oh? What conditions?"
Chen Leyao was stunned.
Xia Xu said sternly, "You are not allowed to wear anything too pretty to work, especially black stockings or something like that. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself. I've already reserved a girlfriend."
"Puff..."
Chen Leyao laughed out loud without caring about her image, especially when she heard Xia Xu's righteous words just now, she couldn't help but laugh even more happily.
At the same time, there was an inexplicable sense of joy in my heart - I thought that this young boss could really remain completely unmoved by me.
