CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

"【Zeus's Gift】: Passive skill. When you hold the stun gun for more than 3 seconds without moving, you will gain a 100% positioning speed bonus for the next 15 seconds. Switching weapons will invalidate this effect."

"A 100% speed boost? Wouldn't that mean whoever comes near will die during those 15 seconds?"

Han Tian stared at the spot where Du Chengzi had just electrocuted someone. If it were him holding the stun gun, after triggering the 100% location speed bonus skill, any enemy tank who dared to step into the range of the stun gun would probably be electrocuted before even seeing Han Tian's character model.

"Um... but I can't possibly use a stun gun to shock people every time I'm in a match, can I?"

Han Tian scratched his head. Although the buff seemed powerful, it still felt somewhat useless overall. After all, it was rare for professional players to be electrocuted in formal competitions.

Moreover, aside from some pure eco rounds without tactical orders, Han Tian wouldn't intentionally pick up a stun gun to ambush and shock people.

"It's just a seemingly powerful but ultimately useless thing..."

Han Tian shook his head. He remembered that the gun had a second buff, and looking down, the description of this buff seemed quite brief.

"【Dark Sacrifice】: Passive skill, once per game. When you use 【Zeus's Gift】 to get a kill, for each 【Positioning Speed ​​Bonus】 related buff you have, your 【Positioning Speed ​​Bonus】 will increase by 5% throughout the game, and this effect can be stacked."

"call--"

After seeing the effect, Han Tian's breathing became heavy. When he saw the words "stackable" at the end, he instantly realized how abnormal the skill [Dark Sacrifice] was.

"I now have the AK47's [Lightweight] and the [Kovich Bloodline] from [Hunter Masterclass], both of which provide [location speed bonus]. This means that if I use the [Gift of Zeus] bonus to electrocute someone, I can permanently gain a 10% [location speed bonus] for the entire game."

"Furthermore, if you obtain another buff with the same attribute later, the bonus cap will continue to increase!"

Han Tian hadn't had high hopes for the skill he gained from upgrading the stun gun, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

The 10% location speed bonus, while not a huge amount at the moment, makes Han Tian realize that this skill definitely has a promising future. Only when more location speed buffs are acquired will the terrifying power of the [Dark Sacrifice] skill truly become apparent.

"We need to figure out how to consistently electrocute someone in every match."

"But my reputation in the professional circle is probably going to be ruined." Thinking that he would probably be permanently known as "Stun Gun No. 6" in the future, Han Tian could only smile bitterly.

After turning off the control panel and saying goodbye to Du Chengzi, who was still choosing a spot to electrocute people, Han Tian leisurely boarded the last bus home with his bag on his back.

When he got home, his mother asked Han Tian how his tutoring was going. But since "tutoring" was a white lie he made up on the spot, Han Tian was speechless for a moment. However, he still vividly remembered Du Chengzi pestering him to teach her how to electrocute people not long ago.

"Everything else was fine, except the students I taught were a bit naughty." Han Tian smiled. He had indeed done some "tutoring" this time, although it was only for a dozen minutes, but he wasn't lying.

He decided that once the competition was over and Orange's salary and prize money came in, he would confront his mother.

After all, I've actually earned money, so at least my mom won't have to work so hard overtime.

Moreover, being able to use the money he earned from his first professional gaming session would increase his persuasiveness in convincing his mother to agree to his decision.

After talking with his mother, Han Tian finished washing up and returned to his small bedroom. Looking at his empty desk, Han Tian touched his nose. Sure enough, it was inconvenient not having a computer at home. He would definitely buy a high-spec laptop after the competition, so he could take it with him to college.

"But we can't use [Bohe Shrimp Oil] for tomorrow's finals." Lying in bed, Han Tian rubbed his eyes, only then realizing that shrimp oil was ineffective on the day of the finals.

There's no way around it, the finals are a best-of-five series. Since we can't use shrimp oil, we should rest as soon as possible and bring out our best performance.

......

Saturday, 12:00 AM, Orange Club Base.

After lunch, Han Tian and his teammates were all ready to go, carrying their familiar keyboards and mice, and stood at the entrance of the base building.

The finals will officially begin in less than two hours. As participating teams, they need to enter the venue two hours in advance to undergo various checks and prepare for interviews and other activities.

Du Sinian waved his hand, and everyone got into the white Toyota Alphard driven by the driver and drove all the way to the competition venue.

When Han Tian and the others saw the area outside the venue, they were all stunned. The area was already packed with people during the semi-finals.

Unexpectedly, the outer plaza outside the venue was even more crowded. The sharp-eyed Han Tian also noticed that near the ticket gates, which were not yet open, there were several people carrying fanny packs, wearing sunglasses, and dressed somewhat like scalpers.

"Oh! I remember now, wasn't it said that today is the finals day, and the organizers would be inviting that...that...YSL girl group to perform?"

Ekko was a little excited. It was the first time he was going to play in front of so many people, and he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

"It's the VSL girl group... and I heard that NIKO will also be attending as a guest after the match today. The tickets were sold out in one minute, and due to protests from the community, the organizers had to add a thousand seats at the last minute."

Du Sinian refuted Ike and explained to everyone why the audience was packed today.

"But... the venue will probably be packed with people today, so everyone should be mentally prepared. This is something that professional players have to face."

Du Ssu-nien stretched out a hand, gesturing for everyone around him to look over.

"We've come this far since our first online match, and the journey has been anything but smooth."

"Everyone came here under pressure, like Han Tian..."

Du Sinian smiled at Han Tian, ​​the teammate who had brought him the most surprises.

"He needs a championship to prove that he can become the brightest star in the Chinese professional esports arena, and to convince his mother that even playing professionally can provide a better life for the family."

A hint of emotion flashed in Han Tian's eyes. It turned out that every word he had said to the captain had been remembered.

"And Ike, Zhang Zhen..."

Du Sinian then turned to look at the two players.

"Ekko also needs a championship to get himself back on track as a professional player and give his sister, who worries about him not doing his job properly, an explanation."

"As for Zhang Zhen, although we have silenced Beihai in the semi-finals, it is not enough to simply clear his name. He needs an even greater honor to repay the harm he has suffered."

Ike and Zhang Zhen also lowered their heads slightly. They had to admit that their captain's words really resonated with them.

"And Wanli..."

Du Sinian was momentarily speechless; it seemed he didn't know this new player very well...
