Chapter 6: Intermittent ambition

Facts proved that the effects of system-produced items are quite significant.

Xu Beifang woke up feeling refreshed, as if he had done a 3,000-value Tan Hua brand massage...

It was all about feeling refreshed!

He felt like he had endless energy. He grabbed the railing on the bed and pulled a few pull-ups with great interest. The forearms that were slightly sore yesterday had recovered as before!

"This is what system-produced, must be a boutique means!"

Xu Beifang was quite satisfied with the effect of the 【Muscle Repair Potion】. With such a large amount of mechanical movement practice yesterday, if he didn't have this item, his aim practice today might have been quite uncomfortable.

"Let me see mine!"

Muttering in his heart, the translucent system panel appeared in front of his eyes.

【Host: Xu Beifang】

【Age: 21】

【Affiliated Team: None】

【Role: None】

【Status: Good (Performance in matches increased by 20%)】

【Mindset: 86】

【Gunplay: 33-35】

【Consciousness: 29-34】

【Reaction: 47-56】

【Listen-to-Advice Value: 1046】

【Overall Evaluation: For you, who dreams of becoming a professional player, you don't even have the qualifications to watch the professional water dispenser. A good mindset is the key to your victory. Active practice is a bit late, but at least you are already on the road.】

【Suggest the host complete others' suggestions as much as possible to collect Listen-to-Advice Value and improve attributes.】

【Others' suggestions: 1. 10,000 bots a day for a week (1/7), difficulty 4 stars.

2. Hit 5E top 100, difficulty 6 stars.

3. Change computer, difficulty 3 stars.

...】

Looking at the data panel in the system, Xu Beifang suddenly found the "blind spot."

Why did his personal data fluctuate? If he remembered correctly, his gunplay was only 33 yesterday, completely without that 35 behind it.

Is this the result of his 10,000 bots yesterday?... From yesterday to today, he only did aim practice, so the variables were easy to speculate.

So, as long as you are willing to work hard, gunplay can be slowly improved.

Xu Beifang was a bit disappointed again. In the system, every 1,000 Listen-to-Advice Value can be exchanged for an attribute point to improve his various attributes. But now it seems that the significance of exchanging attribute points with Listen-to-Advice Value is not great.

After all, he worked so hard yesterday and only earned a little over 1,000, but he could only exchange it for one attribute point, which was not even as much as the attributes he added by simply practicing.

Looking at it this way, the Listen-to-Advice Value became a bit awkward. Could it be that in the future, he can only buy 【Muscle Repair Potion】 every day to keep himself in state?

Although the effect of 【Muscle Repair Potion】 is indeed great, allowing him to stay full of energy every day, this feeling of being "chicken ribs" still made his head uncomfortable.

"Add gunplay first. Although 1,000 Listen-to-Advice Value for 1 attribute point is relatively small, the use of Listen-to-Advice Value is not very much now."

With a thought, Xu Beifang clicked the plus sign behind gunplay, and the Listen-to-Advice Value instantly became two digits.

The original 【Gunplay: 33-35】 suddenly became 【34-35】.

Xu Beifang:!!!

He suddenly understood the true role of the system's attribute values!

It seems that this 1,000 Listen-to-Advice Value for 1 point is even less than the attributes he got from massive practice, but the system's point addition adds to Xu Beifang's "lower limit"!!

It can stably make Xu Beifang's various attributes go up, instead of having too much fluctuation!

Thinking about it this way, the role of Listen-to-Advice Value is quite large!

Players as strong as "karrigan" have clips where they hit 12 shots at a back and don't die, only to be counter-killed by kennyS. And if he can constantly improve his gunplay and raise his lower limit, this kind of abstract scene might never appear!

But before that, they must complete the main goal of college students—attending class!

Yesterday was Tuesday, and their major had no classes all day. Today, the courses filled the entire day, from morning until after 6 PM.

Although he wanted to open the computer and start practicing aim immediately, his current main job is a college student. Skipping class suddenly would be very troublesome later.

Today's courses were full, so after eating lunch in the cafeteria, Xu Beifang returned to the dorm and started today's aim practice session.

Looking at Xu Beifang, who was about to become obsessed, Xiao Ming sighed: "Beifang, why are you working so hard? Playing well is not as good as matching well. It seems you still don't understand this truth."

"I want to go pro." Xu Beifang answered casually.

"Tsk tsk, young man, good ambition!" Xiao Ming praised him, but didn't take it to heart. After two years of college life, he knew what kind of person Xu Beifang was—just three-minute heat.

"Is it not like you, dropping 200 points in one night?" Hearing the meaning in Xiao Ming's words, Xu Beifang turned his head to reply.

Xiao Ming didn't get angry, but laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder: "Just like your straightforward sarcasm! Keep practicing, I'm going to sleep. I'll go to the scene to cheer for you next year!"

After he fell asleep last night, Xiao Ming continued his plan to escape C-tier, but without his company, Xiao Ming's results weren't so good. He won one game at the beginning, successfully promoting to B-, but later, wanting to strike while the iron was hot, the matches became abstract.

Smurfs, pressure monsters, mutes without microphones, "boiling sheep" and "beautiful sheep," and even people who fell asleep halfway through, directly broke Xiao Ming's defense in the middle of the night. If he wasn't worried about waking up his teammates in the middle of the night, he would have started spraying directly.

Xiao Ming, who was severely sleep-deprived, didn't want to open the computer at all now, just wanted to have a good sleep.

Xu Beifang didn't look back, continuing to practice aim hard.

The roommate's indifference is normal. After all, according to his previous style, his current actions look like bragging. And even if taken seriously, Xu Beifang is already 21 years old and has no achievements. Why would a professional team choose him?

Xiao Ming was also very clear about Xu Beifang's current state: intermittent ambition, but after this emotion passed, Beifang would still understand that C-tier is his home forever!

Xu Beifang knew he was serious. Listening to the crisp sound in his ear, he was full of motivation at this moment.

【Listen-to-Advice Value 13】

【Listen-to-Advice Value 39】

【Listen-to-Advice Value 102】

Two hours at noon were obviously not enough to finish 10,000 bots. Xu Beifang finished his classes in the afternoon, came back, and spent another hour or so finishing these remaining bots.

A day of courses made the roommates in the dorm fully understand the feeling of knowledge floating away in their minds. They all opened their phones tiredly, and Xu Beifang's ears were filled with the sound of "Timi."

Seeing that Xiao Ming had no intention of getting down at all, Xu Beifang immediately opened the ranked match.

For Xiao Ming, points were just a small game goal. Even if he couldn't hit B-tier in his life, it didn't matter, just uncomfortable for a little while.

But Xu Beifang knew time was tight. He was already 21. For CS: GO, the professional age wasn't too big, but he couldn't be counted as a "youth" level either.

Although "f0rest" could play on the professional stage until his 30s, that was an exception after all. And no team would gamble on whether such an older player could have a future for a few years, not to mention Xu Beifang had no achievements yet!

He had to step into this professional path as soon as possible, otherwise, after CS: GO entered the online era next year, his chances as an older genius boy would be even fewer.
