CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

Chapter 89 [Pure Numbers]

"Deposit balance: 50,000 yuan".

In front of the bank ATM, Han Tianjing quietly checked the balance in her bank card.

"The Orange Team's first month's salary was 20,000 yuan, plus 20,000 yuan of the final championship prize money, so it should be 40,000 yuan, right?"

How come there's an extra ten thousand?

After lunch, Du Chengzi ate at Han Tian's house and then transferred his salary and bonus to Han Tian's bank card directly using his mobile phone. He also asked Han Tian if he wanted to get an advance on next month's salary.

Han Tian thought he could get at least 40,000 yuan. 30,000 yuan would be more than enough for his first year of university tuition and living expenses. He would save another 10,000 yuan.

But to my surprise, that little girl Du Chengzi gave me an extra 10,000 yuan.

Well, since he'd already taken it, Han Tian decided to ask the captain in person tomorrow.

I have this extra 10,000 yuan, so I'll buy myself a laptop.

After all, the club is six or seven miles away from home. On weekdays when there is no training, it is indeed a bit of a hassle to go back and forth to the club just to use the computer. It is more convenient to have my own computer.

Moreover, the time for filling out college applications will be coming up soon, and computers will be needed then.

After making the decision, Han Tian took a bus to the Dell store.

"A graphics card like the 2070 and an i7-8759 processor really costs 15,000 yuan?"

At the Dell store, Han Tian looked at several laptops, but he quickly realized that laptops priced below 10,000 yuan didn't have high-end configurations.

Putting aside the graphics card and processor, the screen refresh rate was far below Han Tian's expectations.

As we all know, CS:GO is a game that doesn't heavily rely on the graphics card, but it is very demanding on the processor and screen refresh rate, especially the screen refresh rate.

If a professional player uses a 30Hz refresh rate screen to compete against a high-ranking casual player (such as an A-rank player on the Perfect World platform) using a 240Hz screen, then even the professional player will find it difficult to defeat the opponent.

After all, with the difference in screen hardware, the muscle memory, prediction, and tracking ability that professional players rely on will be greatly reduced.

"This gaming laptop has a refresh rate of 300Hz?!"

The deep space black color scheme, the matte finish, the sharp lines and corners, and the extremely high refresh rate screen that Han Tian just saw...

Han Tian couldn't put the computer down. It was one of the thinnest and lightest gaming laptops, so it didn't feel tiring to hold and had an excellent feel.

He slowly looked down at the price tag.

Dell G7-17...Price...

'

"This... 19999 yuan..."

'

"Why don't you just round it down to zero?"

""

What should I do? It's almost 10,000 yuan more than I was willing to pay.

But this computer is just too good to pass up: a 2070s graphics card, an i9 processor, and most importantly, a super high refresh rate screen.

Han Tian was torn between two choices.

However, a well-configured computer is like a warrior with a powerful sword; it's incredibly attractive to men.

"Damn it...buy it!!" Weiwei gritted his teeth, suddenly remembering that he should be able to get a 10,000 yuan bonus after participating in the Electric Snake brand's event tomorrow. Without further hesitation, he decided to pay directly.

Anyway, I can take this computer to my dorm and use it at school after the start of the university semester, so it's not a bad deal!

After making the payment, although I felt a pang of pain seeing the deduction of 19999 from my bank card, the computer's configuration was good enough for me to use for several years.

After leaving the store with his computer, Han Tian went to buy some peripherals such as a keyboard and mouse.

After taking the bus home, while his mother was at work, Han Tian secretly took the computer back to his room.

Han Tian originally planned to take advantage of his salary and bonus to tell his mother today that he wanted to pursue a professional gaming career.

But after what happened with Han Yongwu, Han Tian thought it best not to talk about it for the time being, and to find a way to talk to his mother after school started.

"Ta-da!"

The power-on sound rang out, and Han Tian skillfully downloaded and installed CSGO, then casually plugged in and turned on the webcam he had bought.

The moment CSGO is installed, a small pop-up window appears in the lower right corner of Steam—"NIKO" requests to add you as a friend.

Niko? Han Tian raised his eyes slightly. His first thought was that Niko, a real professional player, had added him.

Many Chinese players like to use the names of professional players as their game IDs, such as "C9's Shroud himself".

It wasn't until Han Tian clicked into the profile of this player named "Niko" and saw the "Boston Major Runner-up Trophy" in his inventory that Han Tian hurriedly pressed the pass button.

"Hello! My boy!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Niko accepted the friend request, he immediately sent Han Tian a message.

Han Tian also politely replied, "Hello, God of Prediction [shrimp emoji]"

"Haha, the shrimp is great! I recently started working out and I often eat shrimp to supplement my protein intake."

Upon seeing Niko's response, Han Tian almost burst out laughing, while inwardly regretting that he shouldn't have casually associated with the naive old Niko.

"Actually, Chinese shrimp dishes are quite good. Have you tried them?"

"Oh? Of course I've heard about it. Do you have any good recommendations? We can go together after we finish filming the electric snake documentary tomorrow."

Tomorrow, Han Tian remembered that after the awards ceremony yesterday, the staff from the Electric Snake brand came to the lounge to confirm the procedures with him.

Tomorrow we're going to the Electric Snake Ecological Museum in the city center to film some short videos with Niko. Han Tian only knows that it's a one-on-one fight, but he doesn't know what kind of one-on-one fight it is.

Whether you're looking for fun or going to have a real fight with Old Ni, it's worth a visit.

The main benefits include not only further contact with Niko, but also a set of the latest peripherals promised by Electric Snake and a bonus of 10,000 yuan.

"Want to play a round? I haven't tried the official matchmaking server in China yet."

In the chat box, Niko sent Han Tian a team-up invitation.

Since other CS platforms in China, such as 5E and Perfect World, require players to be of the same rank to match, and Faceit does not have servers in mainland China, Niko can currently only play official matchmaking.

"Um... Chinese officials?"

Although Han Tian agreed, he was slightly sweating, hoping that he wouldn't encounter the "official-style violent spinning top" in this match with Lao Ni.

However, this is a good opportunity to try out the newly upgraded red-quality AK47.

"Didi—"

'

The map is loading.

Niko chose the fastest matchmaking map, Sand City 2, and entered the map with Han Tian.

"Oh right, I still haven't used that [Pink Universal Catalyst Crystal] from the event mission reward..."

97

Since there haven't been any tournaments recently, and he hasn't opened the game since winning the trophy, Han Tian hasn't finished allocating his proficiency and items yet, only upgrading his AK47 to red quality.

"bite"

Han Tian opened the panel.

In the weapon inventory, the first item is the AK47 with a red background.

Although he had already seen the upgraded version, Han Tian couldn't help but watch it again because of its incredible effects.

"[AK47 - Red Covert Class]"

"[Weapon Enchantment 1: Lightweight (Level 2), Effect: Active skill, usable twice per game. Each bullet fired increases the host's positioning speed by 2%. When the host has one bullet remaining, the theoretical positioning speed is increased by 43.5%/0.435 times.]"

[Weapon Enchantment 2: [Pure Numerical Values], Effect: Passive skill, activated by default at the start of each game, grants a global positioning speed bonus of +20% (if the total bonus exceeds 30% when using other skills, this skill will temporarily become ineffective for one turn).]

Location speed boost +20%!!
