Chapter 316: This is a lifelong honor

Hahahaha……

Xiao Huasheng's embarrassing moment made the G2 Zhong Ren burst into laughter.

Tang Anna couldn't help but let out a pfft, glanced sideways at the figure still waving goodbye to ROX, then looked at the bus carrying the ROX party as it drove away.

This guy……

In the future, if Xiao Huasheng meets him again, he'll probably be intimidated before even fighting.

……

Everyone arrived at the Fist headquarters, where one of the bosses, Riz, greeted them with a group at the door, they toured the place, then entered a meeting room that looked full of lol vibe, and sat around a large screen.

"Next, let the person in charge of our skin design team introduce our preliminary ideas for this champion skin."

Riz left, and a tall, slim, half-bald white man came in, first hugging Ka Lao Si, then warmly shaking hands with each G2 Zhong Ren member.

Another female employee, presumably his assistant, followed behind holding a laptop, then quietly moved to the side to prepare to take notes.

The tall, slim white man returned to the screen, holding a remote, began to play the PPT, introducing as he went.

"Hello everyone, I'm Herbert, but at the company everyone calls me Rex."

"Let's get down to business; first I want to introduce our general idea for the overall style of this skin."

Having said that, Rex mischievously blinked his eyes and said:

"Don't doubt it; actually, when you entered the semifinals, we started working overtime to draft the designs. Of course, the other three teams did too, but now they're……"

Rex glanced at the trash can in the corner of the meeting room, the meaning obvious.

Everyone chuckled quietly.

Rex then began formally presenting the Fist team's design ideas:

"We won't waste your precious vacation time; let's cut the chatter and start—please look here."

"Your competition uniforms are mainly dark blue with a hint of yellow, but I think your logo's symbolism is stronger—it's white."

"We want to design a skin that instantly identifies as G2's champion skin, so white will be the main color. For example……"

He clicked the remote, and the big screen switched to an abstract sketch that clearly showed the theme style of the skin design.

"Cooool! I like this!"

Mithy shouted excitedly.

"Don't rush, let's keep looking."

Rex smiled and switched to another image:

"It's worth noting that, as shown in the picture, last year's Samsung White champion skin's main color was white, almost pure white."

"We obviously need to clearly distinguish our skin from theirs, so we plan to add a lot of blue to the white theme. For example……"

"Moreover, considering our dark horse attribute and team combat style, I think designing this skin in a more flamboyant style would be more fitting."

"Like this, like this, or like this……"

Rex quickly switched through many images; although he didn't know what the final draft would look like, they generally looked pretty good.

Everyone felt their hearts itch with anticipation.

Rex put down the remote and gestured to the female assistant.

The female assistant brought the laptop over, placed it on the table in front of the big screen, connected the data cable, then stepped aside to stand.

Rex operated the laptop a bit, stood up straight facing everyone, and spoke again:

"Well, that concludes my introduction."

"Also, I want to emphasize that the skin is yours; we are merely consultants offering some reference opinions—how the skin details are to be done is ultimately up to you."

"Next, let's start picking heroes."

"Or if you have a better design theme, you can propose it; everything is still at the beginning stage, we can start over."

"Please don't be bothered by the trouble; this is a lifelong honor."

Rex smiled, emphasizing his tone:

"It might even happen only once in a lifetime."

These words moved everyone; they stopped joking and began to think seriously.

Rex stood there waiting a moment.

"Have you decided? Then let's start with the top lane position."

Lao Zhang raised his hand without hesitation:

"I want Jax! The handsomer the better!"

His everyday English communication is fine, but when it comes to using professional terms he's clueless; however, he knows how to avoid his shortcomings.

Lao Zhang only cares about 'handsome'; as for how to be handsome, the designers know best! Leave professional matters to professionals—that's the smart approach.

Rex has been with Fist for two or three years; obviously this isn't his first time encountering such a request, he understood immediately, smiled and said okay, then noted it down in the laptop.

It was Expect's turn, and he looked a bit embarrassed:

"I... I'd like to pick Rumble, is that okay?"

Rex nodded:

"Of course, are you sure it's Rumble?"

"Yeah, sure!"

"What about the details, any ideas?"

"No... none, just leave it to you guys; I don't understand this."

"OK."

After Rex finished noting, he glanced at Liang Yan and CyanideFI, then smiled at CyanideFI and said:

"If I remember correctly, we met two years ago, right in this room."

Yes, you have a great memory.

CyanideFI smiled and replied, after thinking, said:

"Actually, what I really want is still the Prince's skin, but I already chose it the year before last, so this time I'll switch to... a Leopard Girl."

During the second round of the group stage when G2 faced ROX, CyanideFI picked the Leopard Girl; they lost that match. However, Riot has not stipulated that heroes chosen in losing games cannot be used as champion skin targets, and CyanideFI had already figured out the answer.

CyanideFI then went on to share some detailed ideas about this Leopard Girl skin: for example, the fur of the leopard form is white overall, but the color of the head and tail can be designed as vivid blue, and the eyes are also blue; when it swings its claws, it will leave a blue claw trail; while in human form, Nidalee wears a tight combat outfit, the spear should be designed to look cool but not too big, otherwise the skill shot would be too easy to predict, thereby affecting the hero's strength.

As for the specific style, it still depends on what the overall style of this skin set is.

Rex then discussed a few more points with the group, confirming that this skin set would not be made in a futuristic sci-fi style; overall it would still be based on a Western fantasy style.

Rex faithfully recorded CyanideFI's ideas and the plan confirmed by G2 Zhong Ren, then looked up at Liang Yan.

"It's your turn, my Uncrowned King."

After saying that, he smiled at Perkz sitting beside him and said:

"Sorry, I'm actually a fan of Fire personally, and I insist that this FMVP should go to Fire; you don't mind, do you?"

A confession to someone's face?

Liang Yan felt a bit embarrassed from that, and rubbed his nose.

Perkz generously shrugged his shoulders:

"Of course not, I've already thrown away the trophy."

???

Everyone looked shocked.
