CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

Chapter 90: An unexpected encounter with the cheating guy while dating Niko.

"Location speed boost +20%!!"

Slowly shaking his head, Han Tian sighed once more.

[Purely numerical], the effect and name of this skill are so fitting. There are no fancy descriptions, it just simply increases the numerical value!

After obtaining the panel, Han Tian's personal strength did indeed increase significantly.

Especially after completing the first two lessons of the [Ropz Master Class], Han Tian adapted to the role of a free agent very quickly.

After upgrading the AK to pink quality, Han Tian received the buff "Lightweight," which grants him the ability to unleash devastating attacks with fewer bullets. This buff allowed Han Tian to repeatedly pull off incredible positioning maneuvers.

While the quality improvement of the AK will also increase some overall stats, including responsiveness.

However, due to Han Tian's extremely poor talent...

Even after upgrading his AK to pink, without deliberately using the positioning speed bonus from the weapon buff "Lightweight," and with slight flaws in his quick stops and recoil control, Han Tian's head-on combat ability is still slightly inferior.

Han Tian had previously tested the game using the Workshop and found that his average reaction time with the AK was only around 185ms. Even though he could occasionally get a score of around 130, the overall data was not very stable.

Fortunately, he is a free agent in the team, so unless it's a late-game situation, he has far fewer opportunities to engage in direct gunfights compared to others.

Han Tian was still troubled. Although his offensive capabilities were barely adequate in the Electric Snake Cup, the subsequent CAC...

They'll be facing strong European teams, and their weaknesses will be fully exposed.

Fortunately, there's the AK's [pure stats] weapon buff, although it can't be used in conjunction with the subsequent bonuses of [Lightweight].

However, during normal gunfights, Han Tian can ensure that his mouse reaction speed remains below 148.

While a reaction time of 148ms may not seem extremely fast on its own, maintaining a stable reaction time of 148ms during a match is already an incredibly high level of performance.

Even superstar athletes like S1mple and ZywOo would find it difficult to do, or rather, it would be very difficult for humans to maintain a constant and rapid level of reaction time for every single time.

"I declare that I'll never have my face stolen again... right?"

Han Tian scratched his head, thinking, "If I can maintain this reaction and still get killed from the front, then it wouldn't count as stealing the front, right? It should be considered 'being robbed of the front'..."

However, the ability to engage in direct gunfights is not solely determined by positioning; it also includes skills such as sudden stops and bursts of fire.

However, it seems that Han Tian has no other good way to master these skills except through hard practice.

Perhaps when I finally get the right masterclass, I can solve these problems once and for all.

"Forget it, let's play against Niko first. Upgrading too many weapons and taking too many master classes at once will take too long to get used to."

Since there are no matches recently and no need for strict preparation, Han Tian casually upgraded the [Pink Universal Catalytic Crystal] on the M4a1 before closing the panel.

"[M4a1—Pink Classified]"

"[Weapon Enchantment: 【Outlast the Old Men】, Effect: Passive skill (still active in the background even when this weapon is not used), positioning speed bonus +1% every round, overtime effect x2]"

Han Tian didn't pay close attention to the buff effects of the M4a1; he had been looking at the descriptions on the panel for too long, and his eyes were almost blurry.

"There is no better way to test something than in real combat."

After quickly glancing at the buff description of M4a1, Han Tian, ​​despite the overpowered name, prepared to familiarize himself with the buff as he played.

"puff""

"[CTNiko uses USP to headshot T Canary]"

In the pistol round, Niko, who was just playing around, chatted with Han Tian while strode forward through the middle gate, and in the midst of their conversation, he fired three shots with his pistol, blowing up three people's scalps.

"How is it, my God?"

"That was really cool... but I'm a little scared..."

17

"Haha, your aim is also very good, don't be too surprised."

"Uh..." Han Tian was indeed surprised by Niko's clean and efficient triple headshot with a pistol, but what he was actually afraid of was what was on the public chat.

[T Sakurajima Mai-senpai: ? ? You just opened it right away? And locked it?]

[T Canary: Stop messing around, bro. I'm farming chests with my girlfriend. Can we both skip this round?]

Looking at the messages from the opposing players on the public chat, Han Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

No matter the region, there are a lot of cheaters in CS official matchmaking, especially in the China region, where cheaters are like flies at a thesis defense, appearing in swarms in official matchmaking games.

It's obvious that the opposing team has a cheater. They don't know that the person they're facing is Niko; they think he's also using cheats.

In the minds of these cheaters with insufficient brain capacity, as long as their opponent makes a few brilliant moves, they immediately assume that the opponent has also cheated, thus finding a plausible reason for themselves to counterattack by cheating.

Unfortunately, Niko is not a Chinese player and cannot understand Chinese, let alone these slang terms.

"Hey kid, have you ever heard of a type of Chinese food?"

"I think it's called something like...blindly sliding?"

"Pfft"

Han Tian was drinking water when he suddenly heard Niko say those words in the voice message...

He immediately sprayed water from his mouth all over the floor, almost onto the bed next to him.

"Shrimp paste? Of course I know, most hot pot restaurants have that ingredient."

Wiping the water from his mouth, Han Tian suppressed a laugh and replied, wondering why Niko would suddenly ask about such a special food.

But needless to say, Han Tian already guessed that it must have been recommended to Niko by some evil fan, and the kind-hearted old Niko took it to heart.

"OK, then after our event tomorrow, we can go to that...what...living...shop together."

"You mentioned before that you wanted to consult me ​​about playing professionally in Europe. I can ask some clubs for you on the spot. Maybe some teams are short-staffed and can let you give it a try!"

Yesterday, during the awards ceremony, Han Tian quietly mentioned this issue to Niko on the podium.

It seems that Old Ni has kept it in mind all along.

Han Tian couldn't help but feel moved. Old Ni truly lived up to his reputation as the God of Nurturing Seedlings; he really took good care of talented juniors.

"Bang"

"[CTzero uses AK47 to headshot and kill T Sakurajima Mai-senpai]"

"[CTzero uses an AK47 to headshot and kill T6657's Pig Head Meat]"

Old Ni was clearly having a blast in this round. After realizing that the opponents were all relatively weak players, he immediately bought a sniper rifle and pushed out to the middle lane to snipe people.

After firing wildly into empty guns, he was quietly killed by the terrorists in B1.

Apart from Han Tian, ​​all his teammates are like Teletubbies; they can't even walk properly.

Fortunately, Han Tian was there. With the AK he picked up in the previous game, he triggered the new buff [Absolute Value] and the upgraded [Lightweight (Level 2)], and easily won a quad kill in the endgame.

The score is now 5-0. After losing the first rifle round, the opposing terrorists have secured another EC0.

The opposing team doesn't seem to know how to play very well either; in the last rifle round, one of the terrorists even picked up a Bison.

Han Tian felt that the highest-ranked opponent wouldn't have more than two AKs.

"FK! God! You were like a wild beast!! You fK'd them all in a frenzy!!"

Even in the official chat, Old Ni didn't hold back his praise in the earphones. He took a deep breath and showered Han Tian with compliments, using a string of profanities.

Niko is like that; when you're not familiar with him, you might think he's rather introverted and speaks in a rather formal and polite manner.

But once you get to know him, he starts to talk in a rather dirty way. Telling dirty jokes is just the beginning, and sometimes, without realizing it, he might even make inappropriate advances.

Clearly, Old Ni found the young man quite appealing, and Han Tian was also fluent in English.

As the two chatted, Old Ni would suddenly throw in a couple of witty jokes, making Han Tian unable to suppress his laughter.

Suddenly, a rustling sound of typing began in the public chat.

"[T Sakurajima Mai-senpai: I already said we'd play green this round!!! Why the hell did you guys still start???]"

"[T Canary: You guys started first, don't scream later! Let's see who has the higher specs...]"

Han Tian was stunned. Oh no! He and Lao Ni had both tried to play conservatively this game, but they still managed to provoke the cheater on the other side...
