Chapter 311: MO

"OnlyUp... Only upward."

Ma Xixi stopped and looked at the content of the map.

Although he still doesn't believe this is a game made by Xu Beifang, he doesn't even want to believe that Xu Beifang can make games.

But he also had to admit that this Workshop map is indeed made quite well.

He had only opened it for less than two minutes, hadn't tried the gameplay much, but he felt that for a novice map maker like Xu Beifang, the fact that the first map can move and run is already quite good.

Hanging on a staircase, Ma Xixi looked around, looked at the surrounding scenery, and evaluated:

"Have to say, this scenery is still quite good. Even if the gameplay isn't high, good scenery is also a big advantage; this must be given a good review for Xiao Xu."

【It's really densely packed up there; feels like the distance isn't short】

【So what is the core gameplay of this map?】

【The name says it clearly, just climb up】

【Just purely climbing up, what fun is there in this?】

【Xiao Xu probably just learned something and came out to show off; how can making an interesting map be that simple?】

【Ma Zong is also supporting him out of friendship】

【This map scenery is good, good review】

【……】

The viewers in the stream had mixed evaluations of this map. From the perspective of an ordinary player, they felt that they would definitely not play this kind of Workshop map.

But considering that Xu Beifang himself is a professional player, being able to make this kind of game for the first time is already quite good.

Looking at the chat, Ma Xixi also shook his head secretly; he didn't feel that this movement map was fun: "Let's play for another twenty minutes; if the subsequent experience isn't good, then I'll tell the truth and give feedback to Xiao Xu."

He felt this was just Xu Beifang's plaything; even if it wasn't done well, it was just a waste of time.

"What are you playing?" MO, who was getting takeout, asked casually.

Ma Xixi quickly explained it to him.

Then, Ma Xixi officially started the game.

"This kind of game is actually very simple; as long as your movement is agile enough, there's basically no difficulty."

"Like a flexible fatty like me, that's basically a one-life clear. Okay, pay attention to stepping on the mattress here... sigh!"

In the mechanism of this map, the white area of the bed can give you an upward ejection force; players must rely on this mechanism to continue climbing up.

But Ma Xixi thought his movement was already quite good, so while constantly switching his butterfly knife, he wasn't careful with his feet.

And slid down.

"Didn't pay attention, didn't pay attention," Ma Xixi explained, "This kind of parkour map still needs to be cautious."

MO was originally looking for a show to watch while eating, but seeing his partner's stuff, he put down the mouse and picked up his takeout.

He had a premonition that he might eat too much today.

Ma Xixi continued to climb up, perhaps eager to regain face in front of the audience. This time, he didn't even reach the spring bed from before; at a box he passed by, he slipped and fell down again.

The viewers in the stream saw this scene and suddenly realized that this Workshop map made by Xu Beifang seems to be a bit interesting.

【Really like a sentence Xixi said: "This kind of game is very simple"】

【Ma Xixi's movement training isn't very ideal】

【《One-life clear》】

【Hahahaha】

【I suddenly feel that this game's gameplay seems different from what we imagined】

【Haven't reached the first save point yet?】

Ma Xixi tried another life. This time he finally broke his ADHD habit, gave up the not-so-smooth jump, started jumping one step at a time, and finally reached the spring bed area. He carefully used the spring bed to reach the area above:

"You guys look, as long as you are careful enough, this map is actually quite simple. Let's continue climbing up and reach the first save point first."

Saying that, Ma Xixi continued to climb up, and soon he found something wrong, because the distance between the boxes under his feet was becoming longer and longer.

He now also felt that Xu Beifang was clearly integrating CSGO movement skills into it; in some places, if you don't use movement skills to pull up speed, you just can't jump over.

"How to jump here? Need to use a spin jump? Or can I just jump over normally?"

The slightly longer distance made Ma Xixi hesitant.

【Feels like a normal jump can make it】

【Come with a slide jump】

【Try a normal jump】

【Feels like a spin jump is needed】

Ma Xixi looked at the chat on the secondary screen and hardened his heart:

"Go for it!"

After saying that, he ran forward, thinking of a jump-crouch to land on the box opposite.

But his hand movements were faster than his brain; he ran, but didn't even jump up.

He just watched himself slowly slide down from the air.

"Hey! Xiba!!" Ma Xixi frantically pressed the spacebar, as if to make up for something, and a painful mask appeared on his face.

Every jump he made was cautious, feeling like he had put in a lot of effort before.

But this one moment of inattention, his foot slipped, and he returned to the spawn point again.

Ma Xixi worked hard for more than ten minutes, and the last wave of his feet slipping returned him to before liberation.

And the chat in the stream grew explosively.

【Hahahaha, Xixi's old cold legs are laughing me to death】

【How come Xixi even popped out his hometown dialect?】

【MO is eating three bowls of rice next to him】

【Let us sigh again that Ma Xixi is not a flexible fatty】

【Let us guess how many lives Xixi still needs before the first save point】

【I bet 20】

【40!】

Looking at the mockery and hahaha on the secondary screen, Ma Xixi restrained his painful mask and looked up at the countless obstacles.

He felt that Xu Beifang's heart must be black.

"It's okay! It's okay!"

Ma Xixi shouted: "I'm a veteran player of more than ten years; what difficulties haven't I experienced? Just now was just the beginning; I've already adapted to the rhythm, and the next step is to finish it in one wave!"

Ma Xixi released his bold words in the stream.

Half an hour later...

Looking at the spring bed in the distance, Ma Xixi took a deep breath, and his whole body was already sweating.

This was the best result he had run out after summarizing experience and familiarizing himself with the map within half an hour.

His whole body was already at an altitude of several hundred meters; looking down, the spawn point couldn't even be seen.

So Ma Xixi understood that the opportunity was in front of him, and he absolutely couldn't make any mistakes!

He took a deep breath and jumped straight toward the spring bed. As long as he could reach that place, he could see new scenery.

But jumping in the air, his rich experience already told him—the speed wasn't enough.

Ma Xixi just watched himself fall down.

He sighed long, a relieved smile on his face: "Some people are alive, but he is already dead. Brothers, what should I do?"

Looking at the position he had reached, constantly moving away from him, Ma Xixi's heart skipped a beat, and then he shouted: "This won't drop me to the spawn point, right!!"

Based on his understanding of Xiao Xu, that bad guy is very likely to make such a design.

Then he watched himself descend little by little, the speed of his descent constantly accelerating, and finally returned to the familiar resurrection point.

【Welcome home!】

【Hahahaha】

【Xiao Xu is really a genius; isn't this the CSGO version of Getting Over It?】

【Back to the starting point, blankly looking at Xixi's face】

【Xixi suddenly lost his dream】

【Come home often to see】

Ma Xixi looked at the chat scrolling frantically on the secondary screen and finally understood a truth.

People's joys and sorrows are not connected; I just feel they are noisy.

A chat counter calculated that in this half hour, Ma Xixi fell down a total of 12 times.

This time was the highest place he climbed, but just one foot made him feel the warmth of home.

"Forget it, Xixi." MO patted his shoulder, "I can't eat anymore; this game isn't suitable for us."

MO watched Ma Xixi play all the way, and his whole person was so appetizing that he ate three bowls of rice and was directly stuffed.

Ma Xixi's state also changed from bold words before the match, gibberish during the match, to silence after the match.

Ma Xixi took a deep breath, pressed ESC, and started operating on the screen.

"Not playing anymore?" MO asked.

Ma Xixi shook his head: "I'm looking for where the refund entrance is."

"This is a Workshop map made by Xiao Xu!" MO laughed until his stomach hurt.

Ma Xixi was stunned for a moment and reacted.

He touched his forehead, realizing he was out of his mind.

This reaction from Ma Xixi made the stream effect even better.

The joy of FPS games comes from players killing opponents, or even disgusting the opponents.

But the core gameplay of this map made by Xu Beifang is climbing up to reach higher places.

It's just that his design of climbing and making a mistake, instantly returning to the resurrection point, is really testing people's mentality.

And this kind of game.

The person playing is very uncomfortable, but the person watching is very happy.

Looking at Ma Xixi's out-of-mind appearance, the stream was full of hahaha, and the gifts on the left never stopped.

【Thanks to 'Xixi can you play for another ten minutes' for the rocket...】

【Thanks to 'Streamer can you add more time' for the rocket...】

"Everyone really likes to see me break down." Ma Xixi had a relieved smile on his face, "Actually, I think this game is quite good; it's just that I don't understand why I spent a quarter of an hour on a one-way trip and still haven't reached the first save point."

This is where he didn't understand the most. He originally thought that after working so hard for so long, he should have reached the first save point.

Even if he fell down next, it wouldn't be too exaggerated.

But he really didn't expect that after such a long time, he didn't even reach the first save point, directly returning from the air to the starting point, and his mentality directly exploded.

"No, I really have to ask Xiao Xu to see what kind of mentality this guy had when making this map."

Ma Xixi prepared to torture Xu Beifang properly.

After saying that, he directly found the man ranked first in the CSGO section of Huya.

He opened it and saw that Xu Beifang wasn't playing CSGO, but chatting with the viewers in the stream.

"Can friends from Sichuan be normal? I'm bringing some specialties to my teammates in Paris. What's the situation with you recommending giant pandas? Do you think I eat it or it eats me?"

As soon as he came up, Ma Xixi couldn't help but laugh at the content he heard.

He also had to admit that Xu Beifang is truly popular; talking about land with the audience in the CSGO section, the popularity can still remain in the first place, which is really exaggerated.

He didn't forget his purpose for coming, found Xu Beifang on WeChat, and made a voice call.

"Hey, Ma Zong, how is the map I made?"

Ma Xixi answered: "Already numb."

"Not Xiao Xu, the difficulty of your map is too high; I played for nearly an hour just now and feel like I haven't even reached half of the map."

Xu Beifang scratched his head listening: "Is this map very hard? Isn't it an entry-level movement map?"

Ma Xixi:???

When I typed a question mark, it wasn't that I had a problem, but that you had a problem.

He didn't see the shadow of the finish line for an hour, and you say this game isn't hard?

"Then how come I ran for so long and didn't see a save point?" Ma Xixi continued to ask, "You set the first save point too far away."

Xu Beifang pondered for a long time, then said: "I don't seem to have set a save point."

"Ang?"

Ma Xixi's voice was full of surprise; he felt his blood pressure was about to go up.

"I'll top your helmet! How can someone make this kind of map without even setting a save point!"

【Hahahaha, very consistent with Xiao Xu's personality】

【Laughing to death, Ma Zong always thought it was his own problem, but didn't expect the problem was with the map author】

【Ma Zong, I sent a rocket, can you play for another hour?】

【You really want to see Ma Zong die】

【I'm thinking, what if Xixi ran in front of the finish line and then accidentally slipped...】

【Damn, that scene would be too exciting】

【I don't even dare to think how happy that would be】

【Xixi really needs to go to the hospital】

Ma Xixi said: "Damn, how can you make games like this? Without even setting a save point, can anyone really clear it?"

Xu Beifang smiled and teased: "Don't blame the road for being uneven if you can't do it; Ma Zong, this is a human problem. I just showed everyone the gameplay when I started streaming; I cleared the whole course in three lives, and there's no difficulty."

"Three lives? Do you think I'm stupid?"

【It really is; I was curious before that Xiao Xu cleared it in a few minutes, went to Xixi's side to take a look, and found Xixi was still on the road】

【Ma Zong's movement needs improvement】

【Xiao Xu's movement is indeed smooth; feels like he was hopping all the way, I didn't even react, and he reached the finish line】

【Made the map himself, but doesn't know how to play; isn't that messing around?】

Looking at the scrolling chat, Ma Xixi still said: "That's still not okay. You are a movement expert; if you meet those movement novices, this map training is too unfriendly."

"If you don't believe me, let the viewers in the stream try it; not many people can clear this broken map."

Xu Beifang reacted when he heard this.

"By the way, I forgot to say this on Twitter. Now I'll pull my group of friends and let them test it, okay."

"Still that sentence, if you're bad, practice more!"

Ma Xixi answered: "Then let's see how many people can clear it tomorrow. Aren't you looking for specialties? If any pro player can clear it tomorrow, I'll send you some of our specialties, guaranteed to satisfy you, okay."

"Then it's a deal." After saying that, Xu Beifang logged onto Twitter and posted the information that he made a map.

Ma Xixi already felt that his whole person wasn't working, hung up the phone, handed the stream to MO, and went to the room to sleep.

……

As a top-tier succubus in the CSGO circle, Xu Beifang follows many famous pro players.

So basically after he posted on Twitter, these pro players all saw it.

"Nice made a movement map?"

Most pro players didn't believe it when they saw this news for the first time.

Because this is a bit too much of not doing one's proper job.

Professional players developing maps is completely off-track.

But many of them went to confirm it and found that the map author's name was indeed Nice.

So they curiously opened it to play.

Then most of the pro players didn't make a sound after playing.

Many pro players also played the map while streaming, and finally, their whole person was confused.

But the appearance of these top-tier pro players suffering and breaking down while playing this map in the stream made the audience laugh.

From the audience's perspective, this is truly an interesting map.

This made many viewers spontaneously go to various CSGO pro players and streamers to let them play this game.

This caused a trend in the entire circle.

Finally, even Valve posted an update:

"It's hard to imagine Nice's mental state; can this broken map even be played!"

Obviously, Valve also had employees who broke down playing this map.

The official statement made the bloggers in the CSGO section come to try it out. For a time, the entire community was playing this map.

……

"Once a man told us that when playing games, don't be frowning and practicing hard; you must play with a smile."

Ma Xixi operated the character in the stream, looking at the finish line not far above his head, and a confidence emerged in his heart again.

He felt that after working so hard for so long, he could finally welcome the light.

He had already thought about it; after clearing, he would take a screenshot and @ Leon Kai, Wanjiqi, and the others in his Moments, letting them understand that he is the true movement player.

Looking at the finish line not far above his head, Ma Xixi smiled and said to the stream: "You guys look, this actually has no difficulty."

The viewers in the stream chat didn't agree with his statement:

【I still like this confident look of Ma Zong】

【No difficulty refers to playing from 3 PM to 9 PM】

【How about Ma Zong, forget it】

【Xiaogui spent 4 hours clearing it, Ma Zong, this second day hasn't ended yet】

【Ropz played this map and only spent 15 minutes, a true one-life clear】

【Ma Zong, a day and a half hasn't ended yet, I'm laughing to death】

【You remembered wrong, that liver-god Ropz has already livered to a 6-minute fastest clear】

The teasing in the stream made Ma Xixi feel very faceless.

But he had nothing to say; as an old gamer, he had indeed never been this miserable in the past two days.

Even as a gift horse in 5EPL before, he always had times when he performed.

But these two days, under the crazy requests of the audience, he has been playing this movement map.

Facts have proven that this map made by Xu Beifang is helpful for movement.

At least some simple accelerations he does now are much more proficient than before.

And some basic mechanisms like ladder spin jumps and gliding are also understood and can be used.

Ma Xixi glanced at the chat: "Jump over this distance, and there are a few claw knife gliding areas; is this the finish line?"

Looking at the hints from the viewers in the chat, Ma Xixi felt confidence coming back.

He took a deep breath and started jumping toward the suspended firearm models in front little by little.

A total of four firearm models, and he could jump to the opposite side.

Ma Xixi also knew that this broken map couldn't be rushed, so he jumped over one by one slowly.

But just when jumping on the last AK47.

"Bang!"

The sudden gunshot of the AK47 rang out, scaring him, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

The suspended firearms didn't have much space on the map, and the footprint was limited. Ma Xixi's foot slipped, and he slid down to the side.

Ma Xixi took his hands off the keyboard, his head leaned on the headrest of the gaming chair, already with an expression of life being loveless.

He just watched his character slowly descend, spending a full minute.

"Not Xiao Xu, you really!"

"Are you eating oil cakes? How come this AK can still misfire there? Can this broken map even be played!!"

"Why can an AK placed there suddenly fire!!"

"Do you even know how to make maps??"

Ma Xixi's breakdown made the viewers in the stream laugh until they were numb.

【You can hardly imagine Xiao Xu's mental state】

【Think on the bright side, Xiao Xu only played a little trick there in the whole map】

【How many times has Ma Zong broken down?】

【Can't count】

【It is indeed hard to endure; finally almost reached the finish line, and suddenly it fired, making me tremble all over】

【Watching Xixi play games, I thought it was for the show effect, then I went to play it myself...】

【How does it feel?】

【Xiao Xu really deserves to die!!!】

Xu Beifang knew the viewers' reactions quite well.

After all, with Getting Over It in front, this kind of similar game will definitely make people feel hard to endure.

However, he felt he was still kind; it was more for technicality and not as disgusting as Getting Over It.

Just like people like Ropz and Acror, they basically cleared it in the first few lives.

Because they knew how to pass under specific distances, and various accelerations were also at their fingertips.

On the whole map, he only played a little trick at the AK, and didn't deliberately set any traps.

It was actually quite easy to pass overall.

In the domestic CSGO circle, the Tyloo group basically cleared it after playing for five or six hours.

Ma Xixi's side was mainly because his movement wasn't very ideal.

Which led to every time he played OnlyUp, it was a show effect full of content.

The core gameplay is not much different from Getting Over It; as long as you make a mistake, start over!

It exercises movement and mentality.

Xu Beifang felt this was simply a win-win!

……

Daily life ends, returning to the main line starting tomorrow... ===== CHAPTER 312 =====
