CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

"The number you dialed..."

"boom--"

In the living room, Beihai's cell phone was slammed face down on the mahogany tea table.

The day after the match with Chengzi, Beihai hurriedly said goodbye to Lao Tang and Song Chen, then took the high-speed train back to his home in the capital with a face full of anxiety.

What happened during this offline competition can be described as a devastating blow to him as a streamer.

Upon returning home, he immediately began to carefully review his live stream recordings and platform accounts, including his comments on Han Tian and Zhang Zhen, in-game voice recordings, and videos he had previously posted on the platform alleging that the two were cheating.

Beihai is trying to find a way to ease the situation, so that if they hire public relations later, they will have a main point of entry, which will make things much easier.

As a streamer with millions of followers, once this kind of deadly controversy arises, without the help of a public relations team, it's as if you're about to be buried, not even worth the trouble.

But when he scrolled to the comment pinned to Zhang Zhen's personal information under his Douyin and Bilibili accounts, Bei Hai's face turned deathly pale.

In an attempt to prove himself, Zhang Zhen did indeed send Bei Hai his personal information privately, but Bei Hai only shared it in his own fan group and then quickly withdrew it. At the time, he was only trying to stir up the controversy.

So Beihai knew about the incident where some fans dug up Zhang Zhen's home address a while ago, but he wasn't worried at the time because he had accidentally posted a few pictures in the fan group and quickly deleted them. Even if Zhang Zhen was doxxed, it wouldn't have much to do with him. At most, he would just have to apologize later.

But why would their own account suddenly pin all of Zhang Zhen's information to the top and make it public?

"Damn it! It's Xiao Liu!! Liu Boqian!!"

Bei Hai was furious, because he immediately understood the reason. He had been busy reuniting with old friends and preparing for the competition these past few days, and hadn't paid attention to his social media accounts. He had left them entirely to his assistant Liu Bo. Even the video targeting Han Tian and Zhang Zhen a few days ago was edited and uploaded to various platforms by his assistant Liu Bo.

Besides him, only that bastard Liu Bo has the authority to operate his account.

Suppressing his anger, Beihai hurriedly used tools to check the traffic of his account's articles, but he was dumbfounded when the results came out.

"This... a data package worth tens of thousands of yuan? Which bastard bought this for me?!"

Seeing that the videos he posted that clearly showed Zhang Zhen cheating had all been bought with data packages, and that his personal information was still displayed below his account, he was shocked.

Bei Hai's eyes immediately turned bloodshot with anger. He finally understood why Zhang Zhen had looked at him with such murderous eyes during the match.

He immediately tried calling his assistant Liu Bo via WeChat, but he didn't answer. He tried calling him via QQ, but he didn't answer. He tried calling him by phone...

Beihai was stunned. He asked himself honestly, and realized he'd really done a good job with this assistant. All he had to do was edit videos, switch between recordings, manage comments, monitor data, plan schedules, maintain fan relationships, promote the online store, and prepare contingency plans...

He earns a high salary of 4350 yuan per month, and his insurance is paid every month. He is also frequently given red envelopes and treated to meals.

Bei Hai racked his brains but couldn't understand why his assistant would betray him and do such a thing, even though he treated him so well.

However, looking at the current situation, Bei Hai knows that even if he hires a public relations firm, it will cost a fortune. He feels that even if the public relations firm can salvage most of the situation, the number of fans will be reduced by at least half.

"Ding-dong—"

Just as Beihai was about to call several well-known MCN PR teams in Beijing for consultation, his doorbell suddenly rang.

He opened the door, but the footsteps that had just been heard outside had already faded away. Bei Hai only saw a letter on the floor. He picked it up, stood at the door, tore open the envelope, and read the title of the letter.

He leaned weakly against the door, and the phone he was about to use to make a public relations call fell to the ground next to the potted plant by the door with a "thud".

The white paper lawyer's letter envelope clearly stated: "Regarding your public posting of false statements concerning Zhang Zhen, a member of the OG Orange team, on online platforms such as Bilibili, Douyin, and Kuaishou, which constitutes a serious infringement of the client's right to reputation, we hereby issue the following letter... If convicted, you will face imprisonment of up to three years or detention, and may also be subject to a fine."

"boom--"

"It's over."

Bei Hai plopped down on the ground. Only then did he realize that no matter what, Liu Bo had escaped, and he had no evidence to refute him. It seemed that he had completely messed up.

........

"ah--"

As we all know, in the open-world 5v5 shooting game Counter-Strike, if a person gets electrocuted, they will scream.

On the second floor of Purgatory Town, Du Chengzi, controlling a CT character, crouched silently in the shadows. A flash of lightning, and the stun gun in her hand emitted a faint "buzzing" sound. A T who had been silently sneaking towards the second floor of A let out a scream of "Ah—" and collapsed helplessly onto the wooden floor.

"Wow! It really worked!" She whirled around, her gaming headset slid down to her neck, her eyes shining brightly, her voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement, "The spot you taught me is amazing! It's practically a guaranteed hit!"

Witnessing this tragedy, Han Tian smiled helplessly. Because of the finals tomorrow, the team captain had told everyone to go home after training until 8 p.m. today, but before he left, this girl grabbed his sleeve.

She leaned closer mysteriously, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "How can I use a stun gun to kill someone more easily?"

Although Han Tian couldn't understand why this girl's gaming style was always so evil and dark, he still stayed and spent more than ten minutes pointing out a few hiding spots in the town on the map for her.

There was no way around it; he was beholden to those who offered him food and gifts. After all, the rich young woman had forced two pairs of gloves on him this morning, including a brand-new, ridiculously expensive crimson kimono.

For Han Tian, ​​who has learned the "Estonian Sunshine Location Selection" method, finding a few shady spots is as easy as drinking water.

He can now walk to any corner of any map and find several nearby hiding places in less than a second.

Seeing Du Chengzi jumping around excitedly with the stun gun, Han Tian had a sudden thought. He remembered the stun gun in his panel, which seemed to only require 40 points of [proficiency] to be upgraded to light blue quality.

Thinking of this, he immediately opened the panel.

"【Available Proficiency: 1040】"

After two offline matches and a few ranked games I played today, my [proficiency] has once again surpassed the 1,000 mark.

I have a spare 40 points that I can use to fully upgrade the stun gun and get a buff. I'll save the remaining 1000 for later to unlock the final lesson of the [Ropz Masterclass]: [Pixel-Level Peek].

"[Your available proficiency points: 1040]"

"【Use 40 proficiency points to fully upgrade the consumer-grade white-quality stun gun?】"

"【Sure】"

"[Your remaining skill points: 1000]"

"Congratulations on acquiring your second max-level quality weapon!"

"[Weapon upgrade + weapon max level, gained 2 chances to draw from the Wishing Well this time, remaining draw chances: 6]"

"bite--"

A faint light flashed, and the stun gun in the weapon panel turned light blue. At the same time, a small blue crystal appeared in the background of the stun gun. This should be the newly obtained buff.

As before, Han Tian reached out and touched the crystal, then clicked to view the buff's effect information.

"Oh? There are actually two entries?"
