CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

"[Congratulations, host, on qualifying for the offline competition for the first time!]"

"[Achievement Unlocked: What is the softest thing in the world?]"

"Unlock achievement reward: [Random Pink Catalyst Sphere x1]"

"The evaluation and settlement for this competition is still in progress. When the entire competition ends, proficiency points will be awarded based on the host's individual performance."

Looking at the system window that suddenly popped up, Han Tian was slightly speechless. He got a pink catalyst just like that? Is the drop rate really that high?

Speaking of the hidden achievement, "The softest thing in the world?", isn't that a bit of a stretch?

Looking at the system's azure blue UI, Han Tian suddenly felt that the system's true form should be a box. Why? Because only a crazy box could be so versatile.

"Forget it, let's see what this [Random Pink Catalyst Sphere] will give us."

In the backpack compartment, Han Tian lightly tapped the small pink crystal ball with his finger.

"Click—"

The pink crystal ball shattered.

Congratulations on obtaining [Dual Guns Pink Quality Catalyst x1]

Han Tian was stunned. Dual pistols? If it were a Desert Eagle or a USP Glock, Han Tian would probably upgrade without hesitation, but dual pistols... their versatility is indeed a bit lacking.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. It's good to improve my pistol round skills. After all, the USP and Glock are still not high enough quality, and there's not much I can do in the pistol round."

After thinking for a while, Han Tian poured the thick [proficiency] he had accumulated over a long period of time into the weapon panel of his dual pistols.

"Looks like all 700 [proficiency] points I accumulated through online competitions are going to be gone again." Life is tough, Xiao Han sighed.

Previously, winning two matches online in the first game gave me 200 points of proficiency. Losing one match in the second game gave me 50 points. Winning two matches, both with Han Tian as the MVP, doubled the bonus to 400 points. Adding the 50 points I already had, I finally accumulated 700 points.

Han Tian originally wanted to save up 10,000 points to unlock the legendary course "Pixel-Level Peek" in the "Ropz Master Class," but now his "Proficiency" is going to drop to zero again.

"Consuming 600 [Proficiency Points], your dual pistols have evolved from the white consumer-grade to the purple restricted-grade. [Available Proficiency Points: 100]"

"【Dual Pistols Pink Quality Catalyst】has been used. Your dual pistols have evolved to pink classified level. 【Weapon Stat Boost: 40】. Rating: Beginner."

"Receive 4 chances to draw from the Wishing Well"

"Gained the weapon buff [Her Joy]".

"Wait... what kind of name is this? What does 'Her Joy' mean? What does this name have to do with a 5v5 first-person shooter game?!"

Han Tian's face darkened. "Her? Which 'her'? Why is she so happy? Just hearing her name gives me a bad feeling."

Suppressing the urge to curse, Han Tian mustered his courage and activated the skill's effect.

But when the skill effect came into Han Tian's view, he was really surprised. He did not expect that although the skill name was abstract, the effect was obviously strong!

"【Her Joy】Effect: This skill is automatically activated when the dual pistols fire the first bullet. For each bullet fired, the host's mouse click speed increases by 20% for 5 seconds. It can only be used once per game."

The effect sounded strangely familiar to Han Tian. "Isn't this just like the Guinsoo's Rageblade from a certain MOBA game? Stacking attack speed?"

"But the effect looks really strong." Han Tian had deliberately recorded it before. When he usually used dual pistols, it took him 4.5 seconds to fire out all 30 rounds from both pistols at the fastest speed.

With this buff, every five bullets can increase hand speed by 100%, and most importantly, this buff has no hand speed cap! Han Tian dared not imagine how fast the firing rate of his dual pistols would be after activating this effect in actual combat, emptying the magazine in less than three seconds?

It's worth noting that even ZywOo, one of the top CS players and a master of dual pistols, can only manage a maximum of 3.5 seconds per magazine.

Han Tian felt that once he mastered this buff, he might be able to clear 30 shots in 2.5 seconds.

What does 30 bullets in 2.5 seconds mean? It means that more than 10 bullets can be fired per second on average, a rate of fire comparable to that of a submachine gun like the MP9.

Each bullet deals 21 damage to armored enemies; even if all five bullets hit the body, they can instantly kill an armored enemy.

Clearly, this is a major weapon in ECO mode.

Not to mention the ECO secondary weapon positioning speed bonus brought by the [Kovich Bloodline] skill in conjunction with [Hunter Master Class]. It can be said that as long as Han Tian stands close to the point in the game and the opponent does not deliberately search for the point, no matter how many people there are on the other side, they will suffer a heavy blow. Han Tian's dual Gatling guns will severely punish them for not searching for the point.

"But with such a powerful effect, why is it named 'Her Joy'?"

Suddenly, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, Han Tian imagined his fingers clicking the mouse faster and faster...

"Oh, this..."

Even Han Tian, ​​who had lived two lives, couldn't help but blush slightly: "So embarrassing!"

.......

Han Tian, ​​who had just received the new buff, was eager to find a computer to try it out, but he was not in the team's training room at the moment.

The moment he turned off the system panel, soothing piano music filled his eardrums again, and Han Tian began to look around at the restaurant that his captain had brought them to half an hour earlier.

Inside the spacious private room, the thick cedar wood door at the entrance blocked out all external noise. Above the dome, woven with dark blue and gold threads, hung a magnificent chandelier with hundreds of amber glass bulbs.

The cigar stool beneath him was cushioned with what appeared to be some kind of animal fur.

On the marble tabletop, smooth silk napkins were folded into delicate triangles and neatly stacked in front of everyone.

"Gentlemen, this dish is called 'Afternoon in Full Bloom of Roses,' and it's made with fresh slices of imported Black Label Iberian ham..."

Each time a dish was served, the waiter in a black suit and white collar would bend down and respectfully begin to introduce it.

Han Tian glanced at his teammates. Captain Du Sinian didn't have any special expression on his face. He was looking down at his phone, seemingly used to it.

Zhang Zhen was slightly uneasy; clearly, coming from a modest background, he had never been to such a high-class place before.

"What is this thing? It looks all fancy and doesn't taste as good as the ham from my hometown, Xuan City." Despite saying this, Ike had already picked up his chopsticks and was eager to try it. Judging from his expression, he must have been to many high-end restaurants like this with Boss Du before.

As for Han Tian himself, no matter what, he was a foreign trade translator in his previous life, often traveling between China and abroad, and had experienced countless social engagements. He had naturally been to restaurants of this caliber a few times, so he wasn't as flustered as Zhang Zhen.

After the match, he had his driver take the mercenary Zhao Qingcheng back to his residence in the black Toyota Alphard.

Du Shao drove the three of them directly to this restaurant, which cost more than 5000 yuan per person. He said it was their team's first team building activity and a celebration banquet for advancing to the offline competition, as well as a morale booster for the offline competition three days later.

"Snap—"

Gently push aside Ike's chopsticks as he reached for the ham dish with your fork.

Du Sinian put down his phone and raised the bottle of sparkling wine he had poured.

"Come on! Cheers! Let's celebrate our first time making it to an offline event!"

Seeing this, Han Tian and his teammates also stood up and raised their glasses.

At first, Zhang Zhen was a little reserved, and Han Tian didn't know what to say for a moment. But Du Sinian said that everyone should just treat it like eating takeout at the club. Do whatever you want, look at your phone, daydream for a while, or eat more if you don't want to talk. There's only one thing—don't grab food with your hands like Ike does. Then everything will be fine.

The pianist who had been providing accompaniment in the room was also asked to leave by Du Sinian.

After the match, no one had eaten much, so although we ate and chatted, most of the dishes on the table were already gone.

After the meal, Han Tian leaned back on the stool with satisfaction and sighed, "The last time I ate this well was in my previous life."

"Xiao Tian".

"Um?"

"I'm going to terminate the contract midway through. I want to cancel your current player contract with Zhang Zhen."

Du Sinian slowly unfolded the silk napkin in his hand.
