Chapter 4: The painful process of practicing aim!

【Muscle Repair Potion】?

Looking at the item he got from the treasure chest, Xu Beifang's eyes light up.

This is good stuff!

If he intends to walk the path of a CS: GO professional, then subsequent injuries are basically unavoidable.

Even someone as strong as s1mple, the human-shaped USB drive, has taken a long leave due to injury.

Or take the "Guardian" (GuardiaN), who just transferred from NaVi to FaZe, who is also suffering from injuries at this moment. If he remembers correctly, GuardiaN slowly withdrawing from the front-line stage later is also due to the impact of injuries.

The role of the Muscle Repair Potion is immense. Although it's a pity to only use it on himself, it doesn't cover up the powerful effect of this item.

After he finishes checking the 【Muscle Repair Potion】, he suddenly hears the system sound again.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the first item, officially opening the Mall System."

That's it?

Xu Beifang returns to the homepage and finds a mall interface with a red dot. He opens it with a thought.

There is only one item sitting lonely in the mall—

【Muscle Repair Potion】

【Price: 500 Listen-to-Advice Value】

【Item Introduction: After taking it, it can repair muscle fatigue...】

500 Listen-to-Advice Value!

He just completed this F-level task, no... it seems there was a bonus for the first time, and he only got 369 Listen-to-Advice Value. Looking at it this way, 500 Listen-to-Advice Value isn't particularly expensive.

Perhaps in the future, he can drink this Muscle Repair Potion like water.

After simply checking the possible effects of the new item, Xu Beifang returns to the right path. Fiddling with the settings for half a day, it's already past 3 PM, and there isn't much time left for him.

In fact, he also has a sense of urgency in his heart. Although he has the help of the system, the CS: GO professional circle has a much older average age than other esports circles. But the age of 21, combined with his current terrible level, still makes him a bit worried.

He shakes his head, throwing the wild thoughts in his mind away.

Since he has chosen the path of a CS: GO professional, he just needs to work hard next.

"10,000 bots?" Xu Beifang takes a sip of water and adjusts his posture.

He had also been exposed to the "deliberate practice" method for CS: GO in his past life, but after he basically mastered counter-strafing and pre-aiming, he never practiced for a long time again.

And even when he was most enthusiastic in his past life, he only hit 1,000 bots a day at most. This 10,000 bots, even if it's one per second, would take him 3 hours to finish.

Let's practice for a week first and see if a large amount of practice can really bring him change.

Entering the classic aim-bot practice map, according to his past habits, he closes the three walls and only opens one.

Xu Beifang holds an AK and starts controlling the mouse to tap the heads of the bots in his field of vision.

With Xu Beifang officially starting, he can see a translucent box appear in the top right corner:

【4-star suggestion: 10,000 bots a day for a week...】

【Task Progress: 0/1】

【Today's Goal: 0/10000】

Pretty smart.

But why is it showing 0? Xu Beifang is a bit confused. He clearly killed 21 bots already. Is it only starting to count from now?

He decisively controls the mouse to tap two bots, glancing at the task bar in the top right corner, but sees that the left side of today's goal is still 0.

What's going on? Is the system broken? He is clearly practicing aim!

Xu Beifang is confused.

Is the position wrong?

He is a bit suspicious, gets up and walks one step to the right, counter-strafes, and fires a burst to kill the bot.

【Today's Goal: 1/10000】

Xu Beifang fires again...

【Today's Goal: 1/10000】

Walk one step to the right, counter-strafe, fire, kill the target.

【Today's Goal: 2/10000】

Damn!!

Xu Beifang has the urge to vomit blood. He thought the system's requirements might be high, but he didn't expect them to be this high.

The system's requirement for practicing aim by hitting bots isn't just aiming with the mouse, but counting the counter-strafe, aiming, and firing all together. Every complete counter-strafe, aim, and fire-kill counts as one.

It's not difficult to operate, but for Xu Beifang, who has to hit 10,000 bots a day, this method is too time-consuming!!

The path he chose, he has to walk it even if he has to crawl.

Although he complains, Xu Beifang starts operating.

The mouse controls the crosshair and firing, while the keyboard is responsible for moving left and right to counter-strafe.

At the very beginning, he is extremely uncomfortable because his mouse control ability is too poor at this stage, making it difficult for the crosshair to go where he wants.

After counter-strafing and firing, many times he had to aim several times before he could headshot the bot.

The whole way is bumpy, which is very difficult for a C-tier player. Perhaps in C-tier, you can control the lightning just by relying on your state and flexible thinking, but poor gunplay is the first threshold preventing him from ranking up.

Incorrect headshot lines, frequent premature counter-strafing, and poor positioning make Xu Beifang feel tortured.

But as the 1,000th bot is finished in the task bar, a sound like heavenly music comes to his ears.

"Ding! Detected the host practicing aim hard. Based on completion efficiency, Listen-to-Advice Value 69..."

Listen-to-Advice Value is here!!

The sound in his ear is like a winter swimmer shouting his famous quote beside him, directly adding a hot-blooded buff to Xu Beifang!

Now that he has finished 1,000, he got nearly 70 Listen-to-Advice Value. Doesn't that mean as long as he finishes the day's training, he can get 700 Listen-to-Advice Value?

Of course, this is just Xu Beifang's speculation. How much Listen-to-Advice Value he gets depends on the harvest after today's training ends.

With this incentive, Xu Beifang feels the painful training has turned into a game... well, he seems to be playing a game.

But for someone with insufficient self-discipline, trying hard to complete a goal without external encouragement has a big impact on the final result.

Although the 1,000 bots just now made his hands a bit sore, he is full of fighting spirit, wishing he could finish the remaining 9,000 bots right now.

This is the greatest use of the system! This kind of positive feedback can motivate people to constantly strive forward.

Full of energy, Xu Beifang starts his aim practice time, and as he practices constantly, he slowly feels the joy of practicing aim. His stiff mouse control ability slowly becomes stronger, he develops toward the direction of "commanding like an arm," and the number of counter-strafe errors becomes fewer and fewer.

The system's prompt sounds in his ears from time to time:

Listen-to-Advice Value 37

Listen-to-Advice Value 102

Listen-to-Advice Value 27

These have become the motivation for Xu Beifang to persist.

"10,000!!" Xu Beifang lets out a long breath. He originally intended to get up and stretch, but as soon as he raised his hand, he found his forearms were very sore.

His waist, which had been sitting for a long time, was also protesting. Everything about his body was not very comfortable.

It's no wonder professional players have many injuries. This kind of long-term mechanical movement puts too much burden on the arms and waist.

And according to what netizens said, this 10,000 bots is just their basic daily training, which is quite amazing.

Taking off his headphones and looking out the window, the sunlight has faded, and the night has begun to shroud the earth.

Picking up the Xiaomi 6 on the table, he finds it's already close to 7 PM.

10,000 bots took him a total of 3-plus hours. In fact, it could have been finished in less than three hours, but as he hit the end, his physical strength declined, his arms were stiff, and aiming became more and more difficult, which slowed down his average speed.

Fortunately, he finished it in the end. Xu Beifang presses Tab, looks at the 10,084 kill data displayed in the top right corner, and presses the screenshot button.

This is his first time training so hard, so of course he has to leave a memorial.

"There probably isn't much food in the cafeteria at this point. Let's go outside campus to eat, then come back and play a few ranked matches tonight to try it out." Xu Beifang thinks to himself.

Pulling Xiao Ming, who is still in dreamland, up, on the way outside campus, Xu Beifang silently digests his feelings during aim practice.

Having just hit 10,000 bots, Xu Beifang feels he can even take on professional players now. It's all about confidence.

He rubs his hands, looking forward to the duo queue journey with classmate Xiao Ming tonight.
