PFC Chapter 6 Taste! Turtle!
Chapter 6 Taste! Turtle!
The university cafeteria was packed with people at 6 p.m.
People came and went, frequently glancing at the man and woman standing in front of the mala tang window.
"What do you want? You even invited me to dinner?"
Bai Dao sat down with his freshly prepared deluxe version of spicy hot pot, looking at the girl sitting opposite him with a slight surprise.
High ponytail, plain white T-shirt, fair skin.
Chun Chun, the white moonlight in other people's eyes, is also his younger sister, Bai Jiangyue.
Bai Dao knows his younger sister very well.
This girl appears aloof to outsiders, but she's incredibly stingy in private. Even if she just goes downstairs to buy her mom a drink, she always asks for reimbursement first.
They won't even return the spare change.
Today, for the first time ever, I treated myself to a deluxe spicy hot pot meal that cost over twenty yuan?
There's a demonic aura!
"Didn't you recently start dating someone? As your sister, I can't just sit idly by and do nothing, can I?"
Bai Jiangyue crossed her arms and looked Bai Dao up and down with her cool eyes.
"ha?"
The white finger is pointing at myself, how come I don't know?
Does rebirth bring about a butterfly effect?
Although he looks very similar to professional player zont1x and has a refined, scholarly air about him, all he can think about right now is how to win a Grand Slam at a Major!
Women will only slow him down and make him stop and fire faster!
"Stop acting. Although your acting skills have improved a lot, you still can't fool me."
Bai Jiangyue rolled her eyes at him and picked up her phone to tap a few times.
"Ding! 2000 yuan received in Alipay."
Hearing the notification tone coming from Bai Dao's phone, Bai Jiangyue sighed deeply:
"Now that you have a girlfriend, treat her well. You're kind of handsome, but looks don't pay the bills. Don't be stingy, or she'll dump you because you're poor!"
???
A thousand grass mud horses galloped through Bai Dao's mind.
"No...who told you I'm in a relationship?"
"Just yesterday morning! That girl with the big eyes in your class," Bai Jiangyue said confidently.
"I passed by your classroom, and everyone else was sitting with the boys, but you two were sitting in the back corner, chatting and laughing. This morning, I even saw you two running together on the track!"
Bai Dao was stunned for a full three seconds before finally realizing what was happening.
What the hell is this about dating?!
He arrived late for his large lecture yesterday, and there were no empty seats next to his roommate, so he could only find a quiet corner. Who knew that a girl would sit next to him?
As for chatting and laughing...
That person was asking him to borrow their power bank! And the fact that they were running together was purely coincidental!
After figuring it out, Bai Dao was both amused and exasperated, and immediately tried to transfer the money back:
"Keep this money for yourself, eat and drink as you please. I really didn't negotiate. Besides, your brother is about to go pro, so I definitely won't be short of money then."
In her previous life, Bai Jiangyue was too strictly controlled by her family and lacked money, so she never experienced life. In the end, she was tricked by a blond guy who drove a ghost fire engine and swindled her out of a few meals of beer and barbecue.
He would never allow such a thing to happen in his lifetime.
"You? Play professionally? Is the barrier to entry for professional players that low now? Even a C+ can get on the field?"
Bai Jiangyue smiled dismissively, showing no restraint when it came to criticizing her older brother.
"Heh, just you wait and see."
The white path was not explained in much detail.
He buried his head in eating meatballs.
Prejudice is like a mountain.
Before achieving definitive results, all arguments are futile.
……
Time flows on.
Friday morning.
Last night, Bai Dao didn't stay up late cultivating immortality; he went to bed early and got up early, maintaining an absolutely disciplined professional schedule.
I didn't turn on the water mirror until I finished washing up and sat down in front of the computer.
Daily Settlement
[Today's ranked wins and losses: 14 wins and 2 losses, average rating 1.97, ADR 119, sweeping through the lower ranks, a godlike performance!; ran 5.06 km; Aim_Botz achieved 2000 kills in practice.]
[Evaluation: Outstanding (Taking the first step towards a career, excellent)]
[Reward: Pink Quality Treasure Chest x1]
Looking at the impressive settlement list, Bai Dao's heart skipped a beat.
He keenly noticed a detail—running was actually included in the settlement?
"Is the system's evaluation standard not just based on the CS game itself, but also encompassing all the essential qualities required of professional players?!"
Bai Dao pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Perhaps the purpose of the daily settlement is to help him reach the top of the professional level!
Training is an integral part of esports!
Absolutely!
Bai Dao suppressed his excitement, his gaze fixed on the treasure chest that emitted a charming pink glow, as if he were rubbing his hands together like a fly.
Second only to red and gold in terms of high-end quality!
He had never thought pink looked so beautiful!
[Treasure chest successfully opened!]
[Obtained: Measuring Ruler (Bronze Grade) x1]
Suddenly, the treasure chest emitted a golden light, and then a black measuring tape appeared before them.
Upon seeing this name, Bai Dao immediately thought of ropz.
This top rifleman is known for his extremely meticulous and obstinate nature.
During every offline competition equipment setup, he would pull out a tape measure he always carried with him and precisely measure the height of the desktop, chair, and monitor, the keyboard tilt angle, and the distance to the edge of the mouse pad...
On one occasion, ropz was so strict that he even measured the distance between his teammates.
The entire Little Bee team formed a semicircle, each holding a Ropz measuring tape.
That time, the entire Bees team cut their hands, which was the perfect opportunity for the Falcons to win the championship!
Unfortunately, Niko still couldn't seize the opportunity!
[Item "Measuring Ruler" detected. Please select how to use it:]
[A: Transformed into an attribute panel, detailing the host's proficiency in various abilities]
[B: Transforms into a measuring ruler, determining the host's most perfect sitting posture, power points, peripheral device placement distances, grip posture, etc.]
Looking at the two options, Bai Dao swallowed hard.
The former can quantify every piece of data, allowing him to clearly understand which direction he needs to improve in, how much experience he still needs to reach the professional threshold, and whether he is on the right track...
The latter, on the other hand, can find the most suitable posture for exerting force, completely unleashing the upper limit of their power.
Although attributes cannot be fixed like those on an attribute panel, A is definitely more important in the long run, but the immediate combat power boost from B is too tempting.
"Why can't we have them all?" Bai Dao asked tentatively, unwilling to give up.
The water mirror shimmered slightly.
[Note: This item is permanently available. The host can seamlessly switch between A/B modes at any time without a cooldown.]
Hey! That actually works!
Bai Dao instantly felt completely comfortable.
He immediately chanted in his mind, "Activate Mode A!"
The water mirror shifted, and lines of data flowed down like a waterfall:
[Host: White Path]
Age: 20
Mindset: 40-60
Marksmanship: 55-66
Consciousness: 10-65
Reaction: 72-78
Map comprehension: 11-73
Item usage: 5-65
Movement Technique: 12-47
(Note: The entry requirements for third-tier professions are 75+ in all categories, for second-tier professions they are 80+ in all categories, and for first-tier professions they are 90+.)
Looking at the incredibly realistic and tragic panel, Bai Dao gasped.
Especially his map understanding, item usage, and movement skills were at their worst when they were all at level 1!
Clearly, this is a statistical analysis of the entire graph.
He only knows six maps: Sand City 2, Dust2, Mirage, Desert City, Town, and Power Station!
He was acutely aware that he was still a long way from becoming a professional.
"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long..."
Bai Dao put aside his distracting thoughts, walked to the computer desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
"Switch to Mode B!"
With just a thought, he felt something hard in his pocket.
When I took it out, it was black, and when I pooped it out, it was yellow.
"It's no different from a regular measuring tape."
But as soon as you put your hand on it, you feel a sensation of perfect harmony...
Lowering the laptop screen by 1.5 centimeters requires pulling out a book...
The keyboard is tilted 13 degrees to the upper left...
Tilt your arm 5 degrees to the left, maintaining the most suitable natural physiological posture...
Ten minutes later.
Once everything was adjusted, Bai Dao placed his right hand over the mouse.
"Holy crap..."
Bai Dao couldn't help but swear.
It's so smooth!
Holding the mouse and moving it feels about 80-90% similar to when Donk's talent hadn't faded yet.
This most ergonomic posture allows him to keep the crosshair firmly on the same horizontal line when he pulls the gun 180 degrees, with virtually no extra vertical shaking!
Aside from not finding the most suitable sensitivity for him, I couldn't be more satisfied.
Bai Dao felt a burning sensation in his hands, and after warming up, he quickly started today's ranked ladder match.
Friday was one of the two easy classes, so he asked someone to take the classes for him so he could show off his skills in CS.
……
As the ladder score continued to climb, the sky outside the window grew completely dark.
Meanwhile, on the Huya platform, a CS live stream room that consistently tops the popularity charts.
"I Z—ah!"
"I'm so stupid, Meteor, you're insulting me!"
In front of the screen, a man wearing a white sleeveless t-shirt patted his chest and shouted.
"Idiot!" A highly piercing female voice came from the voice channel.
Seeing the barrage of comments and gifts, QUQU finally felt a little better.
In the first game of the broadcast, he racked up 30 kills, but was still dragged down by four random teammates, which made him so angry that he had a stroke.
The system quickly matched him for the second game, and he was suddenly startled when he saw his opponent's ID.
【The Monkey King 123】
Paired with a golden Tianlu (a mythical beast) head.
Who else could it be but Danking?
But then I saw two low-scoring kids and felt a sense of relief.
[Beer Kun] - 2385
[How can you play with a delay?] -2376
"Jiahui, pour some water."
After giving the instructions, QUQU quickly entered the game.
Unlike later warm-up sessions where you can only practice with props and can't even get flashes of light, this time the warm-up time is different.
It's a time when you can hit people or use props to disgust them.
QUQU picked up a sniper rifle, chatted with his viewers, and started killing.
It's so effective that nothing can survive in the scope of a sniper rifle!
[Holy crap! We've got Egg God in the queue! Ququ's going to be treated like a toy!]
[The opposing team's lineup is too amazing! Besides Eggman, Crystal, and Kun!]
QUQU wasn't too nervous looking at the comments.
Danking is certainly strong, but his CS skills have declined since he became Wa's junior.
And I'm in a really hot hand right now.
Moreover, CS is a team game, and with two players on the opposing team dragging down the score, it doesn't take much effort for our side to win.
"This time I'm going to show you who's the number one CS streamer on Huya!"
QUQU confidently told the camera, "I've beaten Danking who was AFK."
……
On the other side, in front of Bai Dao's computer screen.
Looking at the ID 【齐天大圣123】, Bai Dao couldn't help but rub his chin, a hint of bewilderment and sigh flashing in his eyes.
If he remembers correctly, at this time, in this segment, the person with this ID and profile picture.
only one.
Danking, the Egg Master.
Asia's top sniper, the most neutral streamer on the entire internet, founder of the egg professional club, former professional player of TyLoo, top-tier streamer, the best at Falcon battle dance, a man who looks just like Oh Sehun...
Pentakill against OG, quadrakill against G2, a 2-minute and 59-second highlight reel of a top-tier Chinese professional player.
He officially joined TyLoo as a sniper in June 2019. In 2020, he led the team to the Major main event, but the tournament was canceled due to the pandemic, so he missed out on the player sticker.
TyLoo narrowly lost in overtime in the quarterfinals of the 21 PGL Stockholm Major. Due to Valve's rule change that only the top eight finishers are eligible for stickers, they missed out on the stickers once again…
A single, poignant line brought tears to the eyes of countless Chinese viewers.
A tragic genius comparable to Niko.
One never won a major title in his entire career, and the other never received a sticker in his entire career.
As someone who frequently watches Danking's live streams, I've witnessed firsthand how this Asian ace sniper has lost his fighting spirit through repeated misfortunes.
"You said you wanted to play in the Shanghai Major, and we've been watching your Valorant gameplay for half a year now..."
Bai Dao murmured softly this poignant quote from his viewers about breaking through defenses.
He's now just one step away from a perfect S rank, so it's not surprising that he'd be ranked as an egg at the beginning of the season.
嗏
Isn't the egg still in the rice bowl at this point?
How come you still have time to play CS today?
My gaze shifted, and there was another familiar ID on the other side.
【Unconventional QUQU】
Good grief, is this some kind of chaotic battle among streamers?
QUQU is my roommate Chen Zihao's favorite streamer. He got me hooked on the game because of him, and I started watching QUQU. He's famous for his outstanding interpretation of team voice chat.
His commentary skills and abilities are beyond question, but his reputation has been completely ruined due to a controversy surrounding level-up gifts.
At this time, he should still be considered the top streamer on Huya in the CS section, but he was deeply involved in a contract dispute.
QUQU played a crucial role in Danking's rapid rise to fame.
……
Map loading: Scorching Sand City II
In the first half, the white team attacked as the T (bandits).
As the countdown began, a very distinctive loud voice came through the headphones:
"What do you mean, Egg? This is a full-armor Glock. You command, I'll charge!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Bai Dao realized that he actually had a Crystal Brother in his family!
kRYST4L Crystal Bro is also a legendary figure.
Like Danking, he is adept at making money from all directions.
He debuted at his peak, but a wrist injury caused by the BO10 format forced his downfall.
After retiring from the military, he transitioned to being a live streamer, completely letting loose and being himself.
Also known as the Flowerpot God of War, or the e-sports Yue Fei.
As the saying goes
"One fish, four ways to cook it, no complaints; the background is always decorated with flower pots."
"Where have the million-strong igang gone? The right path in the Rift belongs to K God."
That's him I'm talking about.
Bai Dao suddenly remembered that Crystal and Danking had been inseparable lately, creating excellent entertainment value for the show.
It's rare to encounter such a high-quality match; it's practically a quarter of a professional game.
As someone with countless top-tier tactical reserves from his past life, Bai Dao, who aspires to pursue a professional career, couldn't help but speak up:
"How about we go for an immediate default? Three guys clear B1, one terrorist pushes forward from the spawn, and I'm in the best position. I'll just go to A door, throw a smoke grenade and a flashbang at the CT spawn, and help you guys get out of mid..."
"Ugh, this is too much trouble, bro!"
Before Bai Dao could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Danking's unruly voice:
"Why bother with tactics in a random match? I'll just go straight for A site from this position! Just throw me a couple of flashbangs, and watch me do the maneuvers!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's see how Egg does it. Just make sure you get the flashbang!"
Crystal Bro is always eager to stir up trouble.
Bai Dao shook his head helplessly.
Pistol round tactics are not very common in casual games, even in high-ranking ones.
At most, you'll get a set of items, and then you'll rush in.
Danking had just retired and was known for smurfing in the PL, completely disregarding this kind of game.
This fits his stereotype of watching Danking's live stream.
He rarely throws items and never follows any tactics.
Bai Dao didn't insist any further and casually bought a smoke grenade and two flashbangs.
He naturally trusted the egg.
At 1 minute and 49 seconds, I used two A-rank flashbangs, and then prepared to throw a super-fast CT spawn cigarette at the terrorist's crate.
But just as he reached the egg-bursting spot, good news kept coming from the upper right corner.
[Unconventional QUQU used a USP to headshot and kill the Monkey King 123]
[QUQU used a USP to headshot you, how are you supposed to play with lag on?]
The couple returned home together.
"Holy crap!" Danking yelled in pain over the voice chat, "This cricket gun is so accurate?"
"It's all your fault, you idiot, you jammed me!" Crystal wailed.
Meanwhile, QUQU's live stream room was completely buzzing with excitement.
"Try it! Turtle!"
QUQU makes a peace sign with both hands in front of the camera:
"See that, brothers! That's brains! Snatching A University? Expected! Easy peasy!"
[QU is awesome!]
[Egg-beast, kneel down! Pure, unadulterated archery skills!]
[The opposing team has three low-ranked random players left; we've already won this pistol round!]
The live chat was already buzzing with excitement.
