CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

Chapter 78 Award Presenters (3k)

"What are you standing there for?!"

"We won!! Go up and hug your teammates!"

"Act like a teenager, show some spirit and vigor, okay?!"

While Han Tian was still staring blankly at the system messages, Du Chengzi gently tugged at his arm from behind.

"Huh? Oh, I'm so excited, I was a little lost in thought..."

'

Han Tian was a little embarrassed, but he smiled and defended himself.

Du Chengzi's face was full of helplessness.

"Try to fit in, you listless boy. If you keep acting like this, I might bully you..."

Han Tian turned his head and saw that his other teammates were already hugging each other tightly, their arms forming a circle.

"And me..."

""

He quickly got up, wanting to go forward and celebrate the joy of winning the championship with everyone, but before he could even get close enough...

Hugging among his teammates, one hand gently pulled out, and then one of them stepped out to look at Han Tian.

"Don't neglect our MVP!"

Du Sinian had a big smile on his face, but Han Tian noticed that Du Sinian's eyes were slightly red, despite his usually calm personality.

Han Tian saw the captain's hand reaching out to him. He was about to reach out and grab it when someone suddenly appeared behind him and grabbed him by the waist, lifting him up.

Those broad, thick hands must belong to Zhou Wanli without a doubt...

Held up in the air by the giant hand, Han Tian could only watch helplessly as the captain, who had reached out to him, grabbed one of his feet.

With a mischievous grin on his face, Ike quietly ran over and gently grabbed Han Tian's other foot.

The three of them worked together to gently toss Han Tian into the air.

"zero!!"

Han Tian's teammates excitedly shouted his ID name, and then casually gave him a taste of what it's like to be an aerial acrobat.

It's impossible to count how many times Han Tian has saved the team in this competition.

But his teammates knew that without Han Tian, ​​they might not even have the chance to see the trophy offline, and they might be eliminated in the online competition.

Zhang Zhen, who was not involved, stood close by with a simple smile, thinking that if Han Tian accidentally fell, he would at least be able to catch him in time.

Han Tian was so dizzy from being tossed around that his teammates gently put him down.

"Brother, thank you for the steamed buns...and thank you even more for bringing me to Orange..."

"I put my hand on Han Tian's shoulder and said earnestly. That day, he was so poor that he didn't even have money for the bus fare home. Zhou Wanli even thought about going to a construction site to carry bricks to raise money for the trip."

Without Han Tian, ​​he might be busy at a construction site dealing with cement, and wouldn't be able to come to such a large venue to compete, let alone win the most prestigious trophy of his life.

In Zhou Wanli's mind, Han Tian was a top-notch good guy. He would treat him to meals and even introduce him to a job. In front of Han Tian, ​​even if an angel came, Zhou Wanli would still slap him twice. How dare you?

"Xiao Tian... thank you. Although it's just a small offline championship, it's really important to me."

'

Du Sinian's eyes were red, and he spoke softly.

Since meeting the captain, Han Tian had never seen him lose his composure like this.

Moreover, throughout the entire journey to the finals, the captain remained calm and composed, without revealing any emotions.

However, Han Tian had indeed thought about it before. He always felt that Du Sinian was very persistent. He was already 24 years old, which is considered middle-aged or older among professional players. He might retire after playing for a few more years. Yet Du Sinian was still persistent in forming his own team to play professionally.

Moreover, the captain himself knows that although his basic tactical command skills are decent, strictly speaking, he is not a particularly talented player.

Why go to such lengths to build a team and win a small tournament like this? Logically speaking, a prize of 100,000 yuan shouldn't be much for a rich young master like Du Sinian... Shaking his head, Han Tian didn't continue thinking about it. If the captain wanted to say something, he would naturally say it. There was no need for him to keep asking. His responsibility was to play the game well.

The Orange team celebrated for a while, until Du Chengzi reminded them that there was a post-match handshake session.

After all, they were a group of rookies who had won their first championship in a stadium competition. In their excitement, they subconsciously forgot the proper procedures.

With a triumphant smile on their faces, the Orange team lined up and headed to the SD youth training team's bench, ready to punch their opponents one by one.

"You played really well... much better than me."

'

After recovering from this unexpected defeat, Shi Yang forced a smile and said to Han Tian.

Although many people compared Shi Yang to Han Tian off the court, Shi Yang was completely convinced of Han Tian's superiority after this match.

Extreme understanding of positioning, terrifying endgame thinking, and extreme positioning.

The scene in the small town where the bandits were instantly defeated by Han Tianke still sends chills down Shi Yang's spine whenever he thinks about it.

"You are the strongest opponent I have ever encountered among free agents..."

"9

Han Tian nodded sincerely and responded politely. After all, although Shi Yang played a dark game, he was still a normal person off the field. In the professional arena, having more friends is always better than having more enemies.

Thinking of this, Han Tian reached up and touched his forehead, looking somewhat hesitant, because the person he was about to shake hands with seemed quite troublesome—Ren Feiyu was standing not far away, staring intently at him.

But there's no way around it, the necessary procedures still have to be followed...

"At worst, we'll just exchange a punch and run..."

Han Tian sighed inwardly, then stepped forward and extended his fist toward Ren Feiyu, whose expression was somewhat strange.

"Clatter—"

"6

The two exchanged a normal fist bump, and just as Han Tian nodded and prepared to retreat, he suddenly realized that he couldn't pull his hand back.

Ren Feiyu changed his fist into a palm and firmly grasped Han Tian.

"I have a bit of a stomachache today... I'm not feeling well..."

"6

Hesitantly, Ren Feiyu's face flushed red, because how could he possibly accept it?

After winning the first map, in the second map, SD Youth Training had such a smooth start in the first half. They could have crushed Orange's momentum with just one more breath. In the third map, they directly pushed to a draw.

This was the script Ren Feiyu had initially envisioned, but in reality, Han Tian and Chengzi gave him a harsh lesson.

This completely embarrassed him, who had started by making harsh remarks and engaging in lively discussions. The usually arrogant man now stammered and tried to make excuses for himself...

"Your sniping... was excellent, it gave us a real headache. I hope we can face you again at CAC in a few months."

Before Ren Feiyu could come up with a more plausible excuse to save face, Han Tian's words silenced him instantly...

"It's over... I feel like a loser..."

"7

Ren Feiyu's pupils dilated slightly, and he slowly loosened his clenched hand. He had originally wanted to say something harsh, like something like "I won't hold back next time" or "We'll see," which were lines from those melodramatic anime.

But Han Tian turned around and praised him for his performance, leaving Ren Feiyu at a loss for words. He had just been calling their team a terrible team...

At that moment, he felt that whatever he said sounded like a defeated dog barking incoherently. He couldn't very well be like the Big Bad Wolf, shouting "I'll be back!" every time he was defeated...

"Phew~"

Seeing that Ren Feiyu finally slowly released his grip, Han Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to cause any embarrassment before the awards ceremony.

With a slight nod, Han Tian prepared to follow his teammates onto the podium. Just as he turned around, he faintly heard voices behind him.

"You're the most accurate I've ever met... I was just being mean before... I'm sorry..."

'

Han Tian turned around in astonishment and saw Ren Feiyu with his head bowed low, almost burying his head in his chest. Despite his awkward posture, his apology was unusually loud.

"Well then... goodbye CAC!"

He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. After saying those words, Han Tian turned around and continued walking towards the podium.

Ren Feiyu and Shi Yang, who have been promoted to the SD team, will also participate in the CAC qualifiers in a few months. We'll see them again then.

Following closely behind his teammates, Han Tian stepped onto the podium, which had been converted from the stage where the girl group had performed.

It appears to be using modular lifting technology, and the entire set design has undergone a significant change compared to the opening ceremony.

The pitch-black stage was replaced with dark green, and to enhance the sense of ceremony, a long, deep red synthetic fiber carpet was laid out on the stage as the Orange group came.

Just a few meters away from the podium, a solitary gray, matte-finish pillar stands.

A cool, focused LED spotlight slanted down from above, illuminating the precious object displayed atop the pillar.

artwork".

It was a flawless, translucent jade-colored trophy, shaped like three small jade-colored snakes intertwined in an extremely exquisite manner, with a perfectly round, emerald-green jade ball guarding its center.

As Han Tian walked onto the stage, he glanced briefly at the trophy—his first ever—and couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes.

This electric snake truly lives up to its global brand reputation; it's incredibly well-funded. The trophy is even made of jade, and its shape is very... Chinese in style.

The jade sphere surrounded by the three small snakes in the center appears to be made of a different material than the rest; it seems to be made of fine jadeite.

"It looks like a type of glutinous jade..."

2

In his previous life, Han Tian worked as a translator and had a lot of experience in business settings, so he had a basic understanding of the different types of jade. He estimated that the small jade ball on the trophy alone might be worth over ten thousand yuan on the market.

Such a symbolic trophy, so generously made, and the shape appears to have been specially designed—unlike some third-rate tournament organizers who just buy a cheap plastic trophy online for thirty dollars and present it to the players; that would be a disgrace to the word "ceremony"...

"No wonder the system rated this match as C-level..."

.

The moment Han Tian, ​​the last member of the award-winning team, stepped onto the stage, intense rock music suddenly began to play.

As the music played, a figure suddenly appeared on the left side of the podium. He raised his hands slightly and slowly waved to the audience below.

"Niko!! Niko!!"

The crowd erupted in thunderous cheers, which sounded several times louder than when Orange won the final.

The audience immediately recognized the person who appeared on stage as Niko, the superstar of the Galactic Battleship FazeClan and the world's number one rifleman!
