CS2: My reaction speed is the limit of human capability.

Back in his dorm room, Tang was still in high spirits.

The praise from the crowd, Ling Feng's approval, and the extremely satisfying feedback from the kill.

Most importantly, he discovered that he had a talent.

"Fatty, how do I download Steam?" Tang also turned on his computer and asked Wang Hanjie.

Wang Hanjie chuckled: "Oh, what's up? Want to play CS?"

"Of course." Tang nodded.

Wang Hanjie laughed: "In that case, just search for STEAM online and download it directly."

"OK."

A moment later, a question came from Tang Ye's camera.

"what?"

Hearing the noise, Wang Hanjie asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why is this different from the Steam you described?" Tang frowned. "Why do I need to pay for a VIP membership to play games?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hanjie immediately realized that something was wrong.

He immediately went to Tang Ye's computer, took a closer look, and sure enough, he discovered something amiss.

The software on Tang Ye's computer did indeed have the word "STEAM" on it, but it also had the words "Game Manager" following it.

STEAM Game Manager...

"Dude, you downloaded the wrong one." Wang Hanjie was both amused and exasperated. "This is fake, it's a complete scam."

"Huh?" Tang Ye's heart sank. "I made a mistake?"

"Yes." Wang Hanjie nodded. "Didn't you download it from the official website? Sigh... never mind, you should uninstall it first."

Tang immediately uninstalled Steam Game Manager as instructed by Wang Hanjie. Under the powerful siege of 360's suite of software, Steam Game Manager couldn't even last a single round.

However, the two discovered that although Steam Manager was indeed uninstalled, an unwanted program remained on their computer desktop.

"Holy crap, bird wallpaper!" Wang Hanjie exclaimed, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Tang was puzzled: "What's wrong? It's just bundled software, just uninstall it."

Looking at the naive Tang Ye, Wang Hanjie gave him a meaningful look before speaking:

"This is an ancient god, something indescribable."

"Even if you uninstall it now, it will come back someday and the cycle will continue."

"You will be trapped in an eternal cycle of reincarnation, from which you will never be able to escape."

Tang Ye looked at Wang Hanjie's strange and rambling words and began to waver.

"Is it really that absurd? This thing can be resurrected through Edo Tensei?"

Seeing Tang Ye's innocent expression, Wang Hanjie explained, "Of course! Otherwise, why would this thing be an ancient god?"

"Is it really that far-fetched?" Tang was somewhat skeptical. "But even so, there must be a solution, right?"

Wang Hanjie chuckled: "There definitely is, but..."

"Godfather!"

After some time, Wang Hanjie successfully deleted the installation directory, ended the process that was occupying the system, and cleaned up the registry.

After the above operations, the ancient god, Little Bird Wallpaper, was finally completely sealed away and left Tang Ye's computer.

"I'll download Steam and CS2 for you, so you don't download the wrong ones again." Wang Hanjie sat in Tang Ye's computer seat. "I'll register an account with your QQ email address, and I'll help you come up with a name for you too."

Name?

Tang also pondered for a while.

"How about we call him King?"

"King?" Wang Hanjie scoffed. "I'd be God."

"Okay, let's call it God then!"

Wang Hanjie: "..."

After completing the registration, Wang Hanjie immediately helped Tang Ye download CS.

CS is a large file and can't be downloaded in a short time, so Wang Hanjie took advantage of this time to give Tang Ye some special training and teach him some basic skills of the game.

Wang Hanjie opened the foreign version of CS and entered the Creative Workshop to help Tang Ye with his special training.

Soon, the character entered the Workshop map.

This is a huge training ground, surrounded by countless enemies, while the character is placed in a circular map with various weapon and mode selection icons above.

"First, Godfather, I'm going to teach you the core gameplay of this game—the quick stop," Wang Hanjie explained. "When your character is moving, the bullet trajectory is unstable, so you can't hit anyone under these circumstances, like this."

As Wang Hanjie spoke, he demonstrated. He controlled the character to move and fire simultaneously, the bullets were extremely scattered, going here and there, completely missing their mark.

"And an emergency stop is when you're moving, you immediately press the opposite direction key, like this."

As Wang Hanjie quickly stopped moving, the moment he opened fire, the head of the enemy bot that his crosshair was pointing at was blown off, and a crisp headshot sound followed.

"Amazing!" Tang exclaimed. "What's the principle behind this? How can you hit so accurately like that?"

Wang Hanjie chuckled: "The faster your character moves, the lower your accuracy, and the less likely the bullets will hit your crosshair. But pressing the opposite direction key will instantly reduce your character's movement speed to 0, ensuring your bullets will always hit the crosshair."

After Wang Hanjie's guidance, Tang immediately understood the principle behind it.

Press the right arrow key while moving left, and press the left arrow key while moving right. This will instantly reduce your character's movement speed to 0, maximizing accuracy. This is one of the core mechanics of the game.

"Besides emergency stops, there are many other aspects to playing this game well," Wang Hanjie explained one by one. "Shooting skills, awareness, body control, item usage, map understanding, map control, information processing, team communication... all of these are crucial and indispensable."

"Although CS is a seemingly 'simple' game, lacking the flashy skills of Valorant, and with standardized items and weapons that everyone can use, it is precisely because of these characteristics that the game has endured for so long."

"CS is like Go, where everyone has the same role, can use the same items, and can use the same weapons even after switching sides. Valorant is like chess, where each piece has a different role and its own unique characteristics."

"While these two games don't necessarily have to be compared, compared to Valorant, which has a more fixed lineup, CS requires you to learn more, and the positive feedback it gives you is also stronger."

"You can really feel your game skill improving. Every time you learn a new item, every time you understand a new position, every time you master the ballistics of a gun, you will feel your strength improving."

"And this is something that many other types of FPS games cannot match."

After listening to Wang Hanjie's words, Tang nodded, feeling that he understood the point.

He used to think that CS was just an ordinary FPS game, but after listening to Wang Hanjie's words, he realized why CS has remained popular for more than ten years.

From the moment he first took down the enemy sniper, he felt a sense of exhilaration unlike any other game.

It was a very strange feeling, and he hadn't felt this way in a long time.

The last time was several years ago, when he had just learned a sophisticated serve.

This is a feeling of exhilaration from personally experiencing progress.

"Since you put it that way, I'll have to play this game from now on." Tang smiled. "I feel like I have a talent for this game, and now that you've said that, I'm even more interested."

"That's great!" Wang Hanjie was also very happy about this. "How about the four of us roommates team up for a game tomorrow when those two losers come back? And in the meantime, I'll teach you some basic skills of this game."

"That's a good idea!"

At this point, Wang Hanjie began to teach Tang Ye some basic skills of the game.

At that moment, the sparse raindrops outside the window finally stopped, the dense dark clouds dispersed, and the bright sunlight shone in.

At that time, Tang had no idea that his path to becoming a Major champion would begin right from that moment.
