I will never give in to Miss Death

Although I had been reminded by Xiaomo before coming that this angel girl might be "very good" at computers and had made certain mental preparations, when I saw that she could play games and win a game directly after just having contact with computers, I was still shocked by this angel girl from another world.

Isn’t this equivalent to... Okay, students, let’s start the class. This class is a math class, so let’s first memorize the multiplication formula: one plus one equals one, one plus two equals two... Okay, students, you have already mastered the basic math knowledge. Let’s do some advanced math problems, shall we?

You have to know that before noon, Gabriel had never even touched a mouse or keyboard, and it was her first time playing the game APEX Battle Royale.

"Isn't she a little too strong..."

Compared to boys, I have always been a little slow when it comes to computer games.

Simply put, it can't keep up with the version.

Because I was born in an orphanage, my parents never bought me various electronic products since I was a child, and I had almost no exposure to "mobile games" and "computer games".

When I was born, brick-and-mortar phones had just become popular. Using a mobile phone to make calls was a symbol of wealth, and people without money could only use something called a "pager." The effect of that electronic product was that if someone "paged" you using a landline phone at home or a phone in a convenience store or grocery store public telephone booth, the machine's screen would display the called number. The wearer would then write down the number and go to a nearby public telephone booth to dial it, and only then could the two parties actually communicate.

At that time, only the director of the orphanage had a pager, and every child living in the orphanage had to memorize the director's pager number to prevent getting lost.

Then, our group of children went to elementary school, and mobile phone technology began to mature. The "big brother" was replaced by machines such as "Motorola" and "Nokia". Some leaders in the welfare home were also able to switch to black-and-white screen phones that were more convenient for communication. It was also from this period that mobile phone versions continued to iterate, from black and white phones that could only make calls and send text messages to color screen phones, and then the concept of "networking" was derived. Then, various mobile phone games and applets continued to emerge, and mobile phones became more and more intelligent.

It was not until I was about to graduate from high school that mobile phones had evolved to a level close to that of smart phones, with mobile QQ and mobile browsers as standard. Only then did we, a group of children from the welfare home, get the black and white phones that had been discarded in the yard and apply for our first mobile phone number using our ID cards.

Then came college. Everyone in the dormitory had their own laptop. During my freshman and sophomore years, everyone was playing games. I had to work part-time to earn tuition for myself. I finally bought a second-hand computer that someone else had discarded, but my college career was about to end. After I entered society, I scraped together money to buy a desktop computer. Due to configuration issues, I couldn't play most of the games on the market. I could only play some games that came out a few years ago and didn't require very high configuration.

For example, APEX Battle Royale is a battle royale game that was released shortly after PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG). At that time, it was rumored that it was made with leftovers from the game Titanfall.

Titanfall is a game released around 2014 and does not require very high configuration.

Because I had little exposure to this aspect since I was a child, my attitude towards games is like Kira Yoshikage's attitude towards wine in JOJO - "just a taste, never go deep into it."

I will take the initiative to learn about some game information and watch others play the game, but I won't get addicted to it or insist on becoming the strongest hunter. I won't spend time practicing last-hitting and continuous gun-suppression.

In my impression, games are meant to bring happiness, and the purpose of playing games is to play with a smile.

Therefore, my poor shooting skills and gaming level were often criticized by Jiang Wei and Pipi when I played APEX before, and I was considered “the worst one in the team”.

Fortunately, both Jiang Weipipi and Su Yunjin are like me. They are not the kind of people who take games too seriously. Even if I make a mistake, they would just laugh and scold me and then move on to the next game.

This resulted in my APEX account always being at a very low level, with a kill ratio of less than 0.5, and I rarely played ranked matches. This season, I was only at the bronze level.

Although my account is not very good and the teammates I matched with are also not very good, but Gabriel's... obviously cannot be explained by "the opponent is bad".

There are a total of 60 people in a game of APEX Battle Royale, with 3 people in each team. Excluding yourself and your teammates, you need to eliminate 19 people from the other 57 teams to win. Gabriel's game stats in this game... 17 kills, 3 assists, and 2 cooperations, which means that her team has eliminated 22 people, which is close to one-third of the players in the entire game!

You have to know that this is a battle royale game and the map is very large. Generally, everyone is likely to fight as soon as they land. Often four or five teams are eliminated within three to five minutes of landing. Later, as the circle shrinks, these teams will eliminate each other. Even if professional players come here and specifically jump to particularly popular spots to fight and keep killing, it still takes a certain amount of luck to achieve this data.

"Angels are like this. When they get serious, their brains can surpass the computing power and neural response level of computer CPUs."

Seeing my curiosity, Yin Xiamo explained: "Nuo'er, I saw the game you played. It requires a person to quickly judge information and have a certain level of shooting skills."

"But……"

I thought about my poor peripherals and display: "Can Gabriel's reaction ability really be that strong?"

"If my real body comes, I can do it too. If Filo is serious, his reaction speed can reach 50 to 60 percent of Gabriel's."

Yin Xiamo sat on the bed and opened the bag of clothes we bought. "After we left, she probably practiced with guns for a long time and memorized the movement trajectories of the guns in the training ground. In actual combat, she can basically make sure that every shot hits the target. In addition, her brain has a strong ability to process information. Even if the enemy moves, she can react to the gun within one thousandth of a second. I remember Nuoer, you said that guns are very important in this game, right?"

"what……"

I hesitated: "Indeed."

"Besides this, this game is essentially a war simulation. We have fought countless wars over the past few thousand years. Although we don't have guns, the trajectories of most magic circles are also straight lines. If Gabriel, an angel, cannot react to the magic flying over or aim at the enemy the moment the enemy appears, he will be easily injured."

Yin Xiamo continued to explain: "As long as the enemy appears on the screen, or she hears movement in the headset, even if it's just a little bit, she can move the camera over and lock on to shoot in a very short time. Once she shoots, she almost never misses, and she can keep moving so that others can't hit her. Most people on Earth are so busy that they don't even know where the enemy is. Isn't this the difference?"

I turned to Gabriel who was sitting in front of the computer: "Gabriel sister, is this true?"

"The enemies in this game are too stupid. If everyone had this much reaction speed in the ancient war, they would definitely die."

Gabriel was noncommittal: "But I still can't understand why the humans here can create such a machine and such an exciting game. It's simply... it's simply a masterpiece of God."

"Gabriel's vision and body micro-control level are the best among us. After all, most of the war angels back then flew in the sky and acted as scouts."

Yin Xiamo took out the T-shirt with the words "Fallen" printed on it and said, "Nuo'er, you probably didn't tell her about the resolution of the monitor, did you? Gabriel, let me ask you a question. If this monitor can separate the colors it displays, how many color dots do you think the length and width can be divided into?"

"Ah? Do you want to tell the colors apart?"

Gabriel was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while: "Now that you mention it, I have discovered that this thing you call a display is indeed made up of many small things that can glow. Let me see... In terms of length and width, the length should be 1920 small light dots, and the width should be 1080 small light dots. However, there are two dots on this display. I don't know if they are broken or what, and they are always off."

hiss……

Gabriel’s answer left me feeling “shocked”.

She can even tell the resolution of the monitor? Is this magic or is it true... Angels' eyes are too scary?

Gabriel, Xiaomo and Philo, can they all do such exaggerated things?

"Don't make that expression."

Seeing me standing there, Yin Xiamo said with a smile, "Nuo'er, you can do it too."

"Eh?"

I was shocked: "Can I? No way? I can't tell the resolution of a monitor at all."

"It's not about the resolution. What I mean is, Noer, if you really concentrate on this, you can reach about one-third of Gabriel's level. But your brain is not fully developed yet. Noer has been busy with work during this period and has not played games, so I didn't notice it."

Yin Xiamo gestured to my hands and said, "Nuo'er, you can try using both hands now. Draw a circle with your left hand and a square with your right hand."

"Is that so?"

I stretched out a finger and tried to draw a circle with my left hand and a square with my right hand on the table according to Yin Xiamo's request.

Is that ok?

"In fact, many people on Earth can't do this, right?"

The girl on the bed smiled. "The human brain has a limited ability to process information. When some people play similar shooting games, in the tense process of shooting at the enemy, the brain's computing power will be fully allocated to controlling the hands, pressing the gun, controlling the gun, following the gun, and commanding the eyes to keep their eyes on the enemy... These commands fill the entire brain nerves, and their eyes are still constantly receiving messages. For example, if they see a new enemy appearing in the corner, but the brain can no longer process so much information, it will choose to ignore the prompts from the eyes, and then they will end up fighting with others, and the other team will reap the benefits."

"In some MOBA games, I have also seen similar games on the Tongmeng.com app. Isn't there a small map in the lower right corner? Some people's brains cannot think in multiple threads. Even if they see the information on the small map during a tense laning process, they can't process it, and then they are flanked by the enemy."

"So Noer can imagine Gabriel in a state of concentration as a machine that can process all information with almost no mistakes, even down to the minute details of a frame or a pixel."

This is too scary!

In this case, Gabriel itself is simply... a dimensionality reduction attack on games, especially competitive games.

It seems that my imagination is still too poor.

As expected, guys like Gabriello, who have lived for thousands of years, won the war against the Demon King, and are good friends with the God of Death Xiaomo, are not simple.

Xiaomo said that I will be able to reach a level similar to Gabriel in the future. If that’s true, then am I in a “super slow-down” state since I haven’t developed much yet?

When I first became a little girl, I did feel that my brain was much more active. Both my body reaction speed and my brain thinking ability were much stronger than when I was an uncle. I originally thought that this was already beyond the human level. Could it be that Xiaomo deliberately suppressed the ability of this body and I have not yet fully developed?

I cast a complicated look at Yin Xiamo lying in the small bed, and for some reason I felt a little touched.

Using an avatar to contact me is probably the same idea.

Xiaomo... would rather give up most of her memories and abilities, would rather "become a mortal", be oppressed by life, make herself look silly like an ordinary person, but she must maintain my self-esteem.

It feels like... a human sees a kitten and is worried that his size will scare the kitten, so he uses magic to turn himself into a kitten, then throws away most of his human cognition and memories, and follows his beloved kitten, licking each other's fur, purring at each other, jumping and running into the wild together, chasing butterflies with the most primitive innocence, and rolling on the ground because of the human's cat toys.

Anyway, Xiaomo really doesn't have to accompany an ordinary person like me like this... renting a house, buying groceries and cooking, working in a coffee shop every day, and living such a simple life.

"Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?"

Maybe my gaze was a little too "hot", Yin Xiamo raised her little head and said, "Little kitten wants to drink milk again?"

"That's not it!"

I turned my head away: "I was just thinking, when I grow up to be as terrifying as Sister Gabriel, what method should I use to push a certain Miss Death to the ground."

“I’m looking forward to that day!”

As if she knew I would say that, Yin Xiamo just smiled mischievously. She picked up the "Fallen Angel" T-shirt and handed it to Gabriel, then pointed to the shoes and socks on the bedside table and said, "Here, these are what Nuoer and I just bought."

Gabriel picked up the T-shirt and said, "Are these also handmade here on Earth? They are almost as good as those in Holy Heaven!"

“These are made in batches in factories.”

Yin Xiamo stood up from the crib: "Don't get too engrossed in playing. Remember to try on clothes. If they don't fit, you can return them early. Do you hear me?"

"Ok."

Gabriel pressed the "Ready" button in the lower left corner of the game again, pulled off her dress, and put on the "Fallen Angel" T-shirt.

I quickly covered my eyes when I realized this guy wasn't wearing any underwear.

"Don't be so nervous. Nuo'er is also a girl. This angel lady doesn't care."

Yin Xiamo took my hand and led me out of the house: "Gabriel, what do you like to eat?"

"It would be best if it's vegetables or fruits, paired with rice, vegetarian."

"You and Philo, one likes to eat vegetarian food and the other likes to eat meat, we might as well buy them all."

"..."

"Turn around a little..."

In the corridor outside the room, the girl next to me motioned for me to turn my back to her.

Then I felt an itch on my head, and Xiaomo seemed to have taken something out of my hair.

"Almond blossom."

After a while, the girl opened her hands and let me see the little yellow flower in her palm.

"The almond trees outside often drop these little flowers. Nuoer, you didn't even check before you went into the house."

"What does it matter?"

I touched my head and tidied the hair beside my ponytail: "Xiaomo, turn around too."

"what happened?"

The girl in front of me turned her back to me and said curiously, "There is definitely no flower falling from my head..."

"Turn around!"

As I spoke, I took off a cherry hairpin that I bought a few days ago from her bangs, stood on tiptoe, and pinned the hairpin on Xiaomo's forehead.

"Kacha."

I don’t know when it started, but little gadgets like rubber bands and hairpins, which only girls have, have become more common in my life.

The street stalls or small shops selling "girls' accessories" on the roadside that I never paid attention to on my way home from get off work began to attract me.

I found this little hairpin in a roadside shop a few days ago. It’s not expensive, only two yuan each.

"Why suddenly..."

Seeing me put the hairpin on my forehead, Yin Xiamo was stunned at first, then seemed to accept it and didn't touch the hairpin: "Why are you like a little kid?"

"You said yourself that I can treat myself as a child."

I stuck out my tongue at this guy and ran to the entrance: "Let's go to another vegetable market today."

Ever since the supermarket near the vegetable garden opened, the vegetable market near Xingguang Primary School has become much quieter since the vegetables of the elderly grandfathers and grandmothers nearby can be purchased collectively.

Even though there are fewer stalls in the free market over there, there is still no problem buying vegetables for daily use. However, considering that Gabriel is coming over tonight and there are a lot of people at the rental house, we need to buy a lot of things, so I decided to go to another vegetable market in Minaminagi District.

That vegetable market is relatively large, but it’s farther away than the vegetable garden behind the community, so Xiaomo and I plan to ride our bikes there.

"Come."

After going downstairs with the rabbit backpack on her back, Yin Xiamo took the initiative to drive my small bicycle out from the parking space on the side, sat on it, and then motioned for me to step on the back pedal.

"You can't suddenly drive fast like you did before."

I stood on the pedal of the rear wheel of the car: "Be steady."

"Okay, okay, whatever my wife says is what happens."

After I put both my hands on my shoulders, Yin Xiamo rode out: "Hold on tight, ok?"

"Hold on tight."

"Whoohoo-"

With the sound of steady wheels rolling, the girl in front of me rode her bike and took me out of the community, slowly driving in the breeze along the quiet tree-lined path in the Minaminagi district.

"Noel."

"what?"

"No...nothing..."
