Chapter 107: Skin
Hearing this, Mateo said euphorically as well. "That's right! I couldn't even figure out which one was the Blessed Rank D!"
They were now sitting in a clearing outside the city so as not to cause another incident as when they were in the tavern a short time ago before their departure started.
"If I'm not mistaken, he was the assassin. His Blessing was very practical, and he had a higher reaction speed than usual. If he had caught us off guard, I think the result might have been different. But since it was I who caught him off guard, the situation was completely in our favor, since I felt that that team was very dependent on him," Noah said in a casual tone as he sat on the branch of a tree and looked through the store for the list of skins he could buy with the credits James has been against him, while he was still in his demonic form.
The other boys were talking quietly, discussing what they could have done better in the last match, things to improve tactics, so much so that Carlos even opened his livestream screen while they talked, so they could see the match recording and discuss in more detail certain more specific parts. But when he opened the screen, he realized that the viewer counter instead of 0 people, was actually 3.
This made Carlos raise an eyebrow in surprise. Seeing the chat box, he realized that these three people were actually talking, discussing things that were happening during the match.
SoftCandy - Is this demon the Devil Lucifer?
PennyPenny - Yes... I saw him teleporting with that famous explosion of flames. Damn, seeing this during a livestream is even better than seeing it in person, since you can't understand many things because of how fast it is when you are playing with him.
SoftCandy - Damn! I didn't expect that in a random livestream that I entered, I would actually find Devil Lucifer, and actually from the way they are speaking, the owner of this channel is in fact his friend? I've never seen him talking to anyone before. Will they talk after the game?
PennyPenny - I hope so. I am curious to know his insights into the games.
ImHighAsFu - What's up guys? How is this livestream?
...
Carlos realized that they had talked for most of the match, both about the moves they thought were unnecessary and the moves they thought were good. The good moves were mostly Noah's moves, both the part where he was teleporting into the room where the enemies were, and when he was setting fire to the whole place.
But another move that they highly praised was the bomb that James threw while the players on the other team were distracted by the chaos that Noah was causing between them, which was when it exploded, it killed the remaining three players, causing him to make a [Triple Kill] and finally an [Ace] for having managed to kill all the players on the other team, and even better, without anyone on their team dying in the process.
Carlos was happy that many of the people's comments in the chat were about things that they hadn't even noticed had happened, things that they could use to improve to stop doing the bad things mentioned and start doing the good things that they commented on.
When people on the chat noticed that Carlos was reading their messages, they immediately got excited and started asking questions to Carlos, who was a little embarrassed to learn that there were people listening to their party's private conversation, but that he started to answer them right away.
The other boys on the team were curious to see Carlos talking to himself, answering questions that none of them had asked while looking at an empty space. But when they deduced that this was because of the livestream, their curiosity soared and they entered Carlos's live also, causing the viewer counter to go up from 3 to 6, which made Carlos' livestream higher in the rankings, which perhaps could even attract more viewers
The viewer counter only went up by 3 because Noah didn't even notice it, he was still very focused on choosing something to enhance his skin. He was already starting to get sick of using this basic skin; he wanted something more unique to use, and so he started adding things to his shopping cart.
Finally, in front of everyone, Noah, after buying everything he wanted, began to transform. From a simple red-skinned demon, using all the credits that James gave him, he became a demon with now more gray hair, his horns went from just red to a gradient of dark red at the base to a bright yellow at the tip, his eyes went black with the sclera while the iris turned bright red too. He kept the big fangs in his mouth. In addition to all this, he bought a grander outfit reminiscent of the oriental nobility, with a big robe that went down to the floor.
(If you want to see what it looks like, just enter the discord and look in the room ;#Characters.)
The shiny parts would definitely get in the way of Noah being able to ambush, so he chose to activate an option that would disable his sparkles whenever a match started, only getting shiny when he was in a public lobby.
Noah liked simplicity because he was forced to like it after he only had money to buy more ordinary clothes. But since James had given him the money to buy what he wanted, Noah decided to be extravagant at least once, making a skin of his character that was truly stylish.
This proved to be true when as soon as Noah changed his skin, the others around him stopped what they were doing and saying and just looked at Noah with an appreciative look.
It wasn't a great and amazing skin, but it suited Noah very well with his personality, and with his powers, since he used the flames, which matched the red of the clothes, in addition to the brightness of the horns and the eyes.
Not always the most expensive was the most beautiful, and Noah was proving that with the money James gave him. With that money, he made a skin that would be unique, probably making it easier for people to recognize him in matches, and even better, on livestreams in which he participated.
It was not just his friends who were pleasantly surprised by Noah's exchange of wardrobe; the people in the livestream chat who were sharing Carlos' vision to see what was going on, also endorsed Noah's look.
"Shall we train more?" Noah jumped from the tree and asked the group with a smile, excited to try out the new skin in a match.
