CS: The Last Dance, a Dance That Leads to Professional Success

Chapter 24: The MVP's Post-Match Big Pull!

With a slight thought, Meng Lang saw a pale blue panel that only he could see.

"Damn system, let me see this!"

[Host: Meng Lang]

【Age: 18】

[Title: Empty]

[Basic shooting skills (aiming, recoil control, spraying and spinning, flicking): 79.2 (0.2↑) Damaged state]

[Response (Location, Transient Response, Multi-Target Processing): 91]

[Awareness (positioning, information processing, offense-defense transition): 72 (1↑)]

[Map: Dust2 (90) Desert City (90) Folded.]

【枪械：AWP（79.2+10→89.2）；AK（79.2+15→94.2）】

[Assignable attribute points: 1]

[Skill: The remnants of the small hole have been fused together]

[Goat value: 4396 (in progress)]

Sure enough, an assignable free attribute point appeared at the bottom of the panel.

Meng Lang scanned his own panel values ​​back and forth, pondered for a moment, and then unhesitatingly added the hard-earned point to [Reaction].

Dark blue! add a bit!
[Response (Location, Transient Response, Multi-Target Processing): 91+1→92]

Om-!
In an instant, an indescribable, subtle electric current surged through the cerebral cortex and then spread to every part of the body.

The feeling wasn't intense pain or swelling, but rather like a thin veil that had always covered his senses being suddenly lifted, making the world clearer and... slower than ever before in his perception.

He subconsciously moved his fingers, and when his bandaged right hand responded to his thoughts, the millisecond-level feedback seemed to become more direct and precise, as if the transmission path of nerve signals had been optimized.

Is this the power of adding points?
Meng Lang felt a slight surge of joy in his heart!
really,

God rewards hard work!

Hard work always pays off!

The reason why Meng Lang chose to enhance [Reaction] is as simple as it gets.

His marksmanship and awareness are currently low, but they can be slowly improved through simulated matches in the meditation space and rigorous practice in real life.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the [Reaction] value.

Meng Lang felt that he might have reached a bottleneck—after all, human reaction is something innate, belonging to the upper limit of talent.

However, since this is his strongest weapon innately, why not hone it to its fullest potential, use the power of the system to carve out gaps, expand its upper limit, and make it a truly unparalleled edge?
That's what he thinks.

This is also done.

G2's playing area.

Meng Lang was savoring the changes after adding points.

"Bro, it's time to shake hands."

Niko's voice rang out from the side, tinged with laughter.

He winked at Meng Lang, gestured towards the EG booth across the table, and a mischievous smile crept onto his lips, as if he were watching a good show.

The rest of G2 smiled knowingly; no one had forgotten the two sarcastic "blessings" 2K posted on Instagram when the club officially announced Meng Lang's departure.

—"Good luck to G2! Hope they find the 'puzzle piece' they need! ^-^"

"—You know, it's always been really tough to put up with a player who's incompetently furious. He's the culprit behind EG's struggles."

Now is the perfect time to repay the blessing we received back then.

I remember last night when we were working out together, I saw Niko's pre-match Instagram post from 2K. I was thinking of standing up for Bro today and teaching EG a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Meng Lang achieved the most perfect revenge with his MVP-level performance.

All he wants to do now is see how amazing 2K's face looks!

Just thinking so.

But they found that Meng Lang had already been dragged out.
At the EG match booth,

2K's face is obviously black.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that the post-match handshake was the most disgusting ceremony in the world, a public execution of the loser by the victor.

I'm already incredibly annoyed after losing the game, so what's the point of this segment?

Ah? ? ?
He just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

At that moment, 2K saw G2's group approaching!

Especially when he saw that familiar Eastern face behind Niko, 2K's heart skipped a beat, his emotions were extremely complicated, and his hands unconsciously clenched.

Without a doubt, in today's game, he became the backdrop for the opponent's annual clutch situation, just like Niko in the Boston Fun Story back then.

But what he found even harder to accept was...

The protagonist in the background on the opposite side was actually the "fellow villager" he had personally kicked out of the team and constantly mocked, whom he looked down upon the most.

At this moment, 2K could even imagine how the community forums would be celebrating and mocking him—you're not the cancer you're talking about, are you?
"Fake!"

Thinking of this, his face instantly turned red, and he angrily slammed his fist on the table again!
CeRq, who was standing next to him, was startled by the sudden commotion and jumped!

It's common for CS pro players to pound the table, but they do it during matches. You're pounding the table right after the game is over and you're about to shake hands.

Is the reaction arc that long?

CeRq was secretly complaining to himself.

Suddenly, a pair of hands firmly and powerfully grasped CeRq's hand.

CeRq instinctively tried to pull back.

But they couldn't break free.

He looked up and met a calm yet imposing Eastern face.

Meng Lang held CeRq's hand.

Sincere tone:

"I know Bro, it's always been really hard to put up with a player who's incompetent and furious. Maybe, I mean maybe, he might be the culprit behind EG's struggles."

I wish you all the best.

The air in the EG booth froze the moment those words were spoken!
2K's pre-match sarcastic remarks about Meng Lang were returned to him verbatim, word for word!

CeRq froze completely.
I suddenly felt 2K's breathing become heavy and hot beside me!
He paused, cautiously turned around, and found that 2K's face had instantly turned a deep liver color!
"Puff puff--"

Niko, standing behind him, quickly clenched his fist to cover his mouth.

But a laugh still escaped his lips, and he secretly gave Meng Lang a thumbs up. He had always felt that Meng Lang's personality was too mild. Being sunny and optimistic was fine, but he lacked the sharpness and edge that a top player should have.

But now he understands that Meng Lang is not without his flaws.

A wise man keeps his talents hidden until the right time to act.

The little drama that occurred during the handshake was also accurately captured by the on-site director, and the barrage of comments in the 6657 live broadcast room instantly exploded!

"Hahaha! It drives so well!!!"

"Hilarious! Is this what an MVP dribbler's face-planting dribble looks like?!"

"A gentleman takes revenge, it's never too late!"

He's ruthless and doesn't talk much, but every word he says hits home!

"Why does it look like Banana Man 2K's face is turning purple? Is he going to turn into a purple sweet potato?"

"Tsk tsk! You guys are really naughty! But I like it!"

"."

The handshake session ended less than pleasantly.

After the match, Meng Lang, the MVP of the game, was interviewed by the English broadcast of the Major.

Playing with the machine, he immediately switched the live stream to the interview room, where the host asked a few questions about the match and the most talked-about endgame.

When asked if that Glock pentakill was the most exciting moment of his career, Meng Lang just smiled and said, "I think it was alright. That level of play, if it were a cargo plane, I could do it a hundred times and beat it a hundred times."

The chat room exploded with comments again!

"666666!"

"Brother Zai plugged in the USB drive, and you know what!"

"Wait a minute! Why do I feel like Black÷ is a freak?"

"Zaiwu: Oh no, my keyboard is oozing milk."

"Didn't you hear? Dark is implying that this wasn't the best play of his career!"

"Holy crap! You're really confident, young man!"

"."

The host laughed too.

One last question: "We all know that you got into CS very early. There are many talented young people in this sport. As far as we know, you are still under 18 years old. When you became famous at a young age, did you think you would be the next genius to shock the world?"

Meng Lang remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, then gave a slightly naive yet pure smile and shook his head:

"No, I don't think I'm a genius."

"Back then, I just thought of myself as a... kid who loved playing games."

Domestic, Jianghai University dormitory.

As Li Shan watched the interview, his impression of Meng Lang deepened somewhat.

Humility! Purity! Passion!
This kind of quality is extremely rare in the professional world.

As soon as the interview ended, he excitedly opened the Perfect World APP, the largest CS forum in China, and found the score page for this match.

Meng Lang has a high rating of 9.5 (2789 ratings)!

Ranked first in the whole game

It outperformed Niko and m0NESY.

The comments section was mostly filled with amazement and praise:

"I've gone from hating to loving this! This AK made me so excited!"

"Who would have thought that this was done with bandaged hands?"

"From today onwards, please call him Black God!"

"It feels like another genius Chinese rifleman is rising!"

However, there are also many dissenting voices:

"Stop bragging!"

Let's save our breath for one round!

"There are plenty of FPS games that are only popular for a short time."

"Playing against EG is too much of a hassle. It's not too late to brag when we encounter a truly top-tier team."

"."

Li Shan looked at the comments that were attacking and questioning him.

Although angry,

But there was nothing we could do.

He understands that CS professional competition has a long history and is full of superstars. Many veteran players have a strong bias against them and always take a wait-and-see attitude towards the breakthroughs of newcomers.

Moreover, FPS games have very fluctuating performance levels.

A single highlight in a match is not enough to prove anything. To truly join the ranks of world-class riflemen, one needs a stable and consistent performance throughout a long season.

That's true, Dark has only played one match; he has a long road ahead.

But after thinking about it, Li Shan still posted a comment.

"I have a feeling that Dark will become a super skilled rifleman. Feel free to dig up this post!" After posting this comment, Li Shan held his phone nervously in the dormitory.

He swiped the screen every now and then.

Soon after, many likes and comments appeared below.

"+1!"

"Dark's AK is terrifying!"

"That sudden stop and the way it pulled were like ghosts! It was terrifying!"

"Believe in Dark! Keep going!"

"."

Li Shan's heart immediately felt warm.

There's an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in having my child recognized!
original!

I'm not alone!
