CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

"Zhao Qingcheng said he's sick... and might need to be hospitalized..."

At 7:30 a.m., at the Orange Team training base.

At this time, the team members, including Han Tian, ​​had not yet arrived. Only Du Chengzi and her brother Du Sinian, who had been woken up early in the morning, were in the training room.

Du Sinian read the message Zhao Qingcheng sent last night, put down his phone, and turned his head with a helpless expression. In Han Tian's seat, his younger sister Du Chengzi was diligently playing a bot on Han Tian's computer.

"Huh? Are you kidding me? He's in the hospital because the finals are tomorrow?"

Du Chengzi abruptly released the mouse, pushed aside the gaming chair, rushed forward in three steps, and snatched his brother's phone.

"Food poisoning? What a coincidence!"

Du Chengzi was somewhat indignant. She felt that the chubby boy was clearly too scared to come because he was so nervous during yesterday's semi-final that he was shaking like a leaf. The thought of today being the final made him even more afraid.

"The problem now isn't about coincidence, but rather that our team isn't fully staffed."

Du Sinian was also very troubled. They had finally made it to the finals, and then this happened. If the finals were delayed due to a lack of players, all their hard work would be in vain.

"We're a legitimate club, aren't we? Don't you have any substitutes?" Du Chengzi asked curiously.

"It was originally planned, but Han Tian and the others' training results impressed me, so I was eager to play a match to test the strength of the three of them."

"As for Zhao Qingcheng, he was only invited to help out, so we can't be too harsh on him." Du Sinian took off his gold-rimmed glasses and rubbed his temples.

"Never mind, I'll go and make an urgent inquiry to see if there are any snipers in Jinan who can come and help."

Putting on his glasses, Du Sinian walked to the door and saw that Du Chengzi's account was logged into Han Tian's computer. He felt a little helpless.

"Don't you have your own computer upstairs?"

"Don't always take advantage of Han Tian's honesty to bully him."

Du Chengzi looked incredulous. "Him? You'd be better off believing Zhao Qingcheng isn't faking his illness than believing he's honest."

"Click—"

Just as the brother and sister were talking, the door to the training room was gently pushed open, and Han Tian peeked in from outside.

"Ah, great, the captain is here too."

"Could you come out for a moment?"

.......

"So you want to come here as a substitute?"

At the entrance of the Orange Training Base building.

Du Sinian's gaze fell on the burly man in front of him.

Zhou Wanli was seen clutching a bag of oily buns tightly in his hand, wolfing them down in his mouth in a rather striking way.

"Hmm... as long as I get paid... I'll do anything, I can even be a loader."

"Gulp gulp~"

Zhou Wanli took the bottled water from Han Tian and twisted the cap open with one hand, then gulped it down.

"Zhou Wanli was a sniper for the PL team before. He said he used to play for the European youth training team OG Seed."

"A product of European professional youth training? Then why are you in such a sorry state now?"

Although Du Sinian was curious, since the other party did not say it directly, he did not ask directly, and he could not care about it now.

"He begged me to bring him here, wanting to ask the team leader for a job."

At that time, Zhou Wanli was in the noodle shop and wanted to hug Han Tian's leg and cry, saying that he hadn't eaten all day. Han Tian couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had to treat him to a few steamed buns and bring him over to see if the captain had any ideas.

"We don't lack substitutes here."

As soon as Du Sinian finished speaking, Zhou Wanli quickly put down the water bottle, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes. He slowly bent down and pleaded.

"I'll do any job, whether it's loading and unloading or cleaning, just give me a job, as long as you provide me with three meals a day!"

"I'm sorry, we don't need any of these."

Du Sinian declined indifferently, and Zhou Wanli immediately looked disappointed.

"Well... I'm sorry to bother you."

He turned around dejectedly, intending to say goodbye to Han Tian who was standing next to him.

"But we're short a full-fledged sniper for tomorrow's match. Would you like to give it a try?"

......

"Oh, I see."

In the training room.

Du Chengzi's face was puffed up with anger, like a little pufferfish.

She clenched her two little hands into fists and gestured wildly in the air, explaining to Han Tian the whole story of why Zhao Qingcheng withdrew halfway through.

Han Tian finally understood that his unintentional act had become a timely help for the team.

In the next conference room, Du Sinian and Zhou Wanli were discussing the contract.

At this moment, only Han Tian and Du Chengzi remained in the training room.

"Oh right, didn't you say there was something good to see?"

Han Tian suddenly remembered that Du Chengzi had woken him up that morning, telling him to come to the training room early to see something good.

"Hehe, I never lie, come here!"

Du Chengzi sat down in front of Han Tian's training computer, beckoned Han Tian with his little hand, and gestured for him to come over and take a look.

"What's all this secrecy about?" Han Tian was skeptical. What did this little devil want him to see so early in the morning?

Du Chengzi skillfully logged into his Steam account, opened CS:GO, and went into his inventory.

"Wow--"

"What king's treasure trove is this?"

Han Tian couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, because the scene before him was too shocking. He stared at the jewelry inventory in Du Chengzi's warehouse.

Sapphire Butterfly, Ruby Claw, Emerald M9, Legendary Bayonet... almost every type of knife has its own skin, as well as Souvenir Dragon Sniper, Souvenir Roar, the brand new Eternal Sniper... Du Chengzi has all the luxury accessories that Han Tian can think of.

With lingering gaze, Han Tian tossed his head away from the all-blue tempered AK and looked at the smug Du Chengzi.

"These ornaments are so pitiful..."

"Huh? How pitiful? I think you're just jealous!"

Du Chengzi proudly puffed out his chest, looking smug.

She turned her head and stared into Han Tian's eyes, then suddenly pointed.

"You, Han Tian, ​​are the Pokémon with the highest and strongest stats under my command."

"Using the default gloves and skin every day is so embarrassing!"

Du Chengzi rubbed his forehead, seemingly already dissatisfied with Han Tian's simple accessories.

"Now, I'm taking pity on you and will allow you to choose a pair of gloves to use, so that people won't say we Oranges are stingy when it comes to the finals."

"Gloves..."

Han Tian squinted at the numerous gloves in the warehouse: Crimson Kimono, Miami, Superconductor, Hedge Maze...

Du Chengzi fidgeted with the mouse, his right eye stealthily glancing at Han Tian's expression. He was naturally quite pleased with himself. Hmph, a genius like Han Tian should be thoroughly knocked unconscious with a money stick and locked firmly in his Poké Ball.

Although he had only spent a few days with Han Tian, ​​Du Chengzi was deeply impressed by Han Tian, ​​a player who occasionally exuded a hint of indifference but at the same time possessed extremely strong CS talent.

Actually, the most important point is that, unlike others, including Du Sinian, when Du Chengzi does something, everyone thinks she's just being silly. Only Han Tian is occasionally willing to join in her antics, making her feel that she's not the only one who's abnormal in this club.

"Also, why does this person always give off an old-fashioned vibe one minute and an ordinary young man the next?"

Just now, Du Chengzi secretly glanced at Han Tian's serious expression as he picked out gloves; it was clearly like a child choosing a toy.

"What a weirdo," she muttered to herself.

"What did you say?"

"Ah...no, have you made your choice?" Du Chengzi took the initiative to switch from defense to offense.

"Hmm... I'll take these."

"Hmm? Which one?" Du Chengzi's gaze followed Han Tian's hand pointing to the screen.
