For Love of the Game

Chapter 18: train

Views:

In the afternoon, Song Xueyang and the others really started training. Shen Huai was bored and came to the training room with them.

Song Xueyang turned on a computer for him, "We train until about 7 o'clock to have dinner. If you're bored, just play by yourself."

Shen Huai nodded and sat down on the chair.

This training room is obviously for the training of the main players. According to the official regulations of "City of Despair" for professional teams, each team has seven players, and this training room also happens to be seven computers.

But now there are only four computers occupied, and the rest of the computer desks are empty, apparently without owners.

There are only four teams left in the seven-man team, which is undoubtedly a critical period for Fengyue's transformation. Whether or not Song Xueyang can keep the top eight position in next year's professional league depends on what level of players Song Xueyang can recruit this year.

Shen Huai walked past several people and quietly glanced at the computer, and found that they were playing the same small game.

Pieces of wooden boards fall on the pure black background. The characters operated by the player need to keep jumping on other wooden boards. The wooden boards fall very fast. As long as they hesitate for a second, they will fall into the sea of fire together with the wooden boards. At the same time, the four corners of the game interface It will also randomly spawn small bosses to release shotguns. You must jump on the board while ensuring that the characters are not hit by shotguns.

The daily training of professional players is not limited to the game of the competition. Many small games with simple rules and single operation are more suitable for practice. For example, this small game is obviously used to train the walking and reaction ability.

Shen Huai looked behind a few people. The counter at the top of Zhou Ning's screen showed 935, which proved that he had jumped 935 boards. His technique was very stable. Can seize the best time to take off.

Starfish's counter is 1372. The wooden board on his screen is already falling very fast. Two bosses are refreshed on the game interface at the same time, and the shotgun skill is like setting off fireworks. He jumped very chaotically, and the characters seemed to be jumping randomly, giving people a feeling of almost falling every time, but he was neither killed in the sea of fire nor hit by bullets, which was surprising.

Fan Jingming's counter is also more than 700. He jumps very fast. Each board only stays for a moment, and he can quickly find the next foothold.

Shen Huai finally glanced at Song Xueyang's computer. He was surprised to find that Song Xueyang's counter showed 2614, which was twice as many as the others!

The board on the screen is falling like a meteor, almost impossible to see, and 4 bosses are refreshed at the same time around.

But Song Xueyang was not in a hurry. He smiled and looked very relaxed. The characters were like ADHD teenagers who had to jump twice on each board, looking very rhythmic.

Shen Huai suddenly became competitive, he went back to his computer and found this little game, and a little pixel man appeared on the screen.

The operation of the villain is very simple, just need the four direction keys on the keyboard, move left and right, take off and land up and down.

The first two times Shen Huai played, he jumped to around 600 each time and either died in the fire or was shot to death, but he quickly figured out the pattern.

A maximum of two wooden boards can appear on the same horizontal line at the same time. The BOSS's shotgun skill is very easy to be hit when it is close, but as long as you hide in the distance and wait for the shot to disperse, you can hide from the gap. The existence of each BOSS The time is 30 seconds, and at most two bosses will release their skills at the same time. He can dodge as long as he remembers the refresh order of the bosses.

Sure enough, this time it was much smoother than the previous ones. Shen Huai jumped all the way to 2583. Seeing that he was about to surpass Song Xueyang, Song Xueyang suddenly stood up and clapped his hands.

"Basic training is over, everyone will fight in groups of two."

Shen Huai was taken aback and hurriedly clicked the close button in the upper right corner. After realizing that Song Xueyang hadn't found him, he didn't bother to click on it and play again.

This is the first time he has experienced the atmosphere of professional team training. In the training room, except for the keyboard and mouse clicks, there is no noise. Everyone is staring at the computer intently. Occasionally, he communicates with his teammates very briefly. Sometimes even just a word or two is needed.

This kind of tacit understanding is not only the understanding of each other who have fought side by side for many years, but also the game consciousness that only people at the same level have.

Shen Huai was clearly in the same room as them, but he couldn't fit into this urgent atmosphere at all. He was a little envious, but more of a longing for the life of a professional player.

The sound of a video call suddenly sounded in the training room. Shen Huai quickly turned off the media volume and said "sorry", but no one paid attention to him. Everyone's attention was focused on the computer in front of him, without even the slightest expression. Variety.

Shen Huai was a little shocked, and said no more, quickly left the training room and walked to the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

The video was sent by his father, Shen Nuo. Shen Nuo was obviously on the set. From the half-opened door behind him, he could see the busy staff and the group performers in costumes.

Shen Nuo asked, "You know that the company will issue a termination statement recently, why are you running around?"

Shen Huai replied, "The class reunion, Liu Yueran posted it on Weibo before."

"Oh, I still have to take time to see your classmate's Weibo?" Shen Nuo's face was serious, his outline was five or six similar to Shen Huai, but he was tougher. He looked even more stern, and his expression was full of the calm spirit of a superior.

Shen Huai didn't speak, Shen Nuo saw the unfamiliar background behind him and asked, "The one you jumped out of last night is the team you want to join?"

"no."

Shen Nuo didn't quite believe it, he pondered for a moment, "How about I give them some sponsorship fees for the team?"

Shen Huai: "..."

He thought that his father probably thought he was too bad and was rejected by the team.

"Need not."

"What are you stubborn about?"

"I don't, I can join the professional team with my strength, and I don't need your intervention."

Shen Nuo was choked, he felt that his son was growing up, but he didn't know how to care for him more and more.

Seeing that his son was unhappy with his intervention, he didn't mention the sponsorship fee, but reminded him, "The selection of a team is the same as selection of a film. Although the quality of the script is important, the professional level of the director and the strength of the actors are important. The soul of a movie, without a good director and actors, no matter how good a movie is, it can be made into a bad movie. Don't just look at the team's reputation, the brilliant achievements are in the past, the captain's ability to lead the team and the potential of the players are what Continue to write the legendary capital."

Shen Huai was surprised. He didn't expect his father to say this to him, and he didn't expect his father, who had no knowledge of the e-sports industry at all, to say such words that benefited him a lot.

Shen Nuo snorted, "Why are you so surprised? Your dad will always know more than you!"

Soon the assistant came to ask him to film, and the video ended. Shen Huai looked at the mirror on the wall and remembered the figures in the training room who were focused on training.

There is no doubt about Song Xueyang's leadership ability. He can make a vase team become a team that all professional teams are afraid of today, not only by his personal strength, but also by his commanding ability that his teammates can completely trust.

After Song Xueyang deliberately shuffled the cards, the rest of the team members were also very serious and hardworking. Shen Huai could see that Song Xueyang was running for the trophy, and it might even be the championship trophy.

Shen Huai returned to the training room. Everyone was the same as before he left. It seemed that his departure did not attract anyone's attention. Everyone was spared no effort to complete their training tasks. This atmosphere made him feel urgent.

He hasn't logged into the game for three days. Before, he was an actor, and filming was his job. Now he plans to become a professional player. The world's masters are racing against time to train. How can he waste time comfortably

Shen Huai immediately returned to his seat and clicked on the icon of City of Despair. He neither logged in Cang Yu's account nor Mu Wange's account, but created a new account in the professional area.

Looking at the eight major occupations in front of him, Shen Huai hesitated and chose the gunman. The system prompted him to enter the character ID. Thinking of the braised prawns at noon, Shen Huai entered "braised prawns 777" on the ID interface.

Soon a small gunman wearing a novice costume was born in the novice village. The game "City of Despair" has always been very popular. As the professional area with the largest number of people, people are creating new characters here almost every day, and the novice village is coming and going. Not so lively.

The tasks before level 20 are very simple. For Shen Huai, who is familiar with the operation of "City of Despair", he successfully rose to level 20 within an hour and entered the first main city "Norwa".

At level 20, players can learn about occupational branches from NPCs in Norva's Power User Guild, and obtain corresponding skill points and weapons.

Shen Huai obtained 10 skill points, and placed them on precise sniping, gunner's intuition, and bullet loading, and decisively chose a sniper rifle from the weapon list given by the NPC.

With this gun, you can go to the first field public BOSS "Yansa" after level 20, and nearby players invite him to join the team.

[Current][Fruit Flavored Vitamin C]: Do you brush Yansa? A piece!

Shen Huai typed the word "good", and the man reminded him when he saw his weapon, "Snipers are very difficult to fight with low damage in the early stage. You should play Gunslinger first, and then switch to snipers when your level goes up."

The weapons used by each branch of the profession in "City of Despair" are different. Although players can exchange skill points at any time, some branch skills require the use of specific weapons. For example, most of the skills in the sniper branch have weapon requirements - must be equipped with a muzzle.

Shen Huai typed, "It doesn't matter."

Fruity Vitamin C didn't say anything, anyway, a level 20 public boss, how many of them can beat them.

The soldiers and swordsmen went up to pull the monsters at the first time, while the magicians and gunners were outputting at the back. Shen Huai picked a relatively far position and lay down to enter the sniper state.

The characteristics of this branch of snipers are that the longer the distance, the higher the damage, and 50% of the mana cost will be returned after successfully hitting the target by sniping. However, long-distance sniping needs to predict the enemy's position, and the longer the distance, the more difficult it will be. Shen Huai's sniping distance dropped significantly after 800 meters, and there were not many people like Song Xueyang who could snipe at 1,500 meters away, even if they looked at the world.

The BOSS was quickly killed by everyone. Shen Huai lay on the ground and remembered Song Xueyang's signature skill, Rolling Sniper, and wanted to try it out on a whim.

While pressing the back roll skill, he pressed the bullet to load, and his index finger quickly tapped the "gunner's intuition" skill button, but unfortunately his man got out, but the gun was not picked up.

Reluctantly, he picked up the gun and lay on the ground and tried it again. This time, the gun didn't drop, but the "gunner's intuition" moved backwards and the effect of aerial sniping didn't come out. He tried again and again twice, either the gun was dropped or the person didn't get out, which made him realize once again how difficult the operation of sniping was.

He sighed, took off his earphones, and placed a glass of water in front of him.

Shen Huai turned back quickly, only to see Song Xueyang standing behind him smiling, "Drink some water."

Shen Huai expressed his thanks uncomfortably, and the little sniper who saw the gun dropped on the screen wanted to unplug the power immediately.

Did he see it? Definitely see myself secretly imitating him here!

Shen Huai was holding the paper cup, he didn't dare to lift his head from the cup. Now he can only be glad that he is playing a sniper, at least not making Song Xueyang suspect.

Just thinking about it, I heard Song Xueyang's voice softly coming from overhead, "Your hand speed and reaction ability are good, you can try playing Assassin."

Shen Huai turned his head, "Why do you think my hand speed and reaction ability are good?"

Song Xueyang smiled and pointed to the small game Shen Huai had just played on the desktop, and then accurately reported his clearance number, "2583."

How did he know! ! His computer was clearly facing away from him!

Shen Huai opened his mouth, but didn't say a single word.

Song Xueyang rolled his eyes, and the tears under the corners of his eyes glowed brightly, "Everyone's final clearance numbers will be automatically summed up on my computer."

Shen Huai: "..."
