CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

Chapter 76 Victory is in Hand

"That's mine! Give me back my chocolate!!"

In the players' lounge of the Electric Snake Cup at the Weilai Arena.

With a score of 16:8, Orange's five team members easily won the third map and returned to the rest room. During the map change, everyone relaxed and rested.

Zhou Wanli stood at the door, his height of over 1.9 meters making him look like a wall. He held a chocolate peanut stick in his hand, which he had just "accidentally" picked up from Ike's hand.

"Kaki—"

—

Raising his arm, Zhou Wanli easily stopped Ike, who was jumping around trying to get his snacks back, and then shoved the whole chocolate peanut stick into his mouth.

"Let me taste it for you... Hmm... Is it good enough?"

Zhou Wanli chewed it in big bites. The outer chocolate crust was smooth and sweet, while the peanut brittle inside was crispy and salty. His mouth was instantly filled with a rich sweet aroma mixed with the fragrance of nuts.

"You're the scum of the muscle-bound world!!"

Seeing Zhou Wanli's blissful expression, Ike felt like crying but had no choice. He was too small and thin to be a match for Zhou Wanli.

He was feeling down when he felt something gently poke him from behind.

"My grandma made honey-glazed pastries, I only brought a little bit, have a taste..."

'

Zhang Zhen stretched out his thin arm, holding an open paper package containing several amber-colored pastries. The pastries were shiny and oily, like amber gemstones covered with sesame seeds.

Zhang Zhen handed over the snacks he had brought, watching Ike and Zhou Wanli fight over them. His face showed a slight fatigue from the continuous competition, but at this moment, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a smile.

"How wonderful, it's so lively and bustling..."

Perhaps it was the current lead that made everyone in the locker room a little more relaxed. Zhang Zhen silently watched everyone. Although he rarely expressed himself, he really liked this noisy atmosphere.

Zhang Zhen was born in a rural area and became a left-behind child at a young age. He grew up in his grandmother's house in a relatively remote location and had few playmates, which shaped his taciturn, simple, and restrained personality.

Captain Du Sinian was flipping through document after document, which looked like tactical notes he had prepared for himself.

Han Tian, ​​his closest teammate, was resting with his eyes closed on the sofa. His hard work in the previous rounds must have exhausted him.

Zhang Zhen scanned his teammates in the room, and suddenly his gaze fell on the tournament poster posted at the door, where a small, exquisite jade-colored trophy was being pulled by two large hands.

"Win the championship..."

'

Zhang Zhen murmured softly. He didn't look at the poster again, but instead opened the phone that had been tightly closed. The phone screen showed a WeChat chat history.

The other person's profile picture was clearly taken with an old phone—a rose blooming quietly on a low-resolution screen, as if shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

"Zhenzhen, don't worry too much about your brother. It's just kids fighting; he'll forget about it in a few days. His classmate even apologized to him yesterday..."

'

"Your boss called me and your mom yesterday and said that you're doing something big now, something that could get you on TV."

"Dad just called all the coworkers to come and see. Although they couldn't understand it, they all said my son is promising."

It was a WeChat message just sent by his father, who works away from home year-round. Zhang Zhen read it again, and as he read, a gentle look gradually appeared in his eyes. He would occasionally turn his head to look at his teammates, Han Tian and Du Sinian.

Looking again at the trophy poster on the wall, a hint of determination appeared in his gentle eyes.

"Yes, we'll win!"

"It seems that winning a map in the finals will earn you at least 500 [proficiency points]..."

"1

Counting on his fingers, Han Tian silently calculated that he had already won two maps in the finals so far, and one of them earned him the MVP award.

With the addition of the system mechanism that "doubles the [proficiency] gained by MVP in a single map", Han Tian has already obtained 1750 [proficiency] points after completing these three maps.

Han Tian stroked his chin. Over a thousand points, which was equivalent to the earnings he made playing ranked matches for more than ten consecutive days.

The system also says there will be a settlement mechanism after the match, but it's unclear how many proficiency points will be awarded.

Looking at the third section of the [Ropz Master Class] and [Hunter Master Class] in the panel, one unlocked with 10,000 proficiency points and the other with 5,000 proficiency points.

The total proficiency requirement is a full 15,000 points.

"I hope I can at least get 5,000 proficiency points, so I can at least accumulate some and learn the car owner's pixel-level peek."

'

In this match against SD Youth Training, Han Tian felt a bit of pressure in terms of gun skills for the first time, although he later managed to silence the opponent with several bursts of fire.

However, in some head-on gunfights, even without triggering the buff, Han Tian himself would occasionally make a mistake once or twice.

"Body movement, body control, left-hand stop, pre-aiming..."

'

Han Tian slowly shook his head. Becoming a top player is not easy, and there are still many areas he needs to improve.

To become one of the top CS masters, talent is certainly necessary, but diligent practice is the key to realizing that talent.

Even s1mple and ZywOo's gaming skills are not solely due to natural talent; they are also the result of tens of thousands of hours of meticulous practice.

The same principle applies to the system's proficiency acquisition mechanism. If Han Tian wants to gain more proficiency, he needs to continuously play ranked matches and participate in various tournaments.

The rewards for proficiency are embodied in the system as weapon upgrades and master classes.

This allows Han Tian to quickly access the lifelong talent of a well-known professional player in a short period of time.

"However, with the current stats and Boss Du's Nuke tactics... there shouldn't be too much of a problem."

Han Tian turned to look at Du Sinian, who was browsing through the tactical documents page by page.

Recalling the past few days, Du Sinian only gave Han Tian and the others less than a day to practice other maps; the rest of the time, all five of them spent training on Nuke, practicing teamwork, items, and tactics...

This is also where Du Si Nian's confidence in choosing Nuke in the finals comes from. He not only had his teammates practice this map like crazy, but also analyzed SD's youth training demo day and night.

Du Sinian was actually prepared to take a gamble from the beginning. He believed that as long as the team didn't get beaten 3-0 in the first few maps and could hold out until map four (nuke), they could start their counterattack.

However, man proposes, God disposes. He did not expect that Han Tian would pull several stunts for him in the town of Map Two, silencing the aggressive opposing team and also waking up the team, allowing them to successfully take Map Three.

"Although it sounds arrogant, I still feel... there's no suspense anymore..."

"

Du Sinian tidied up the tactical paper in his hand and gently placed it into the brown paper file bag.

"Remember the tactics we practiced before."

"It's alright if Wanli arrives late; just follow the instructions..."

Looking around at his four teammates in the lounge, Du Sinian stood up.

The break time is almost over, it's time to stretch and move around.

"Snap"

The door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open.

"Let's go boys!! Let's go to the battlefield!!"

Du Chengzi, standing in the corridor by the door, raised her small pink fist and swung it forcefully into the air.

"Pokémon! Don't look so serious! Let's finish this battle happily and call it a day!!"

As she was about to enter the competition, unlike the other team members who were gradually becoming tense, she still had a carefree look on her face.

Only her small fist, clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white, quietly betrayed her inner tension.

Han Tian walked over and patted her small shoulder.

"What? Am I wrong?"

'

"That's right, but how are we supposed to get out if you're blocking the doorway?"

"
