Chapter 6

After meeting Old Gun, I deeply realized my own shortcomings. So in the following days, the snipers in the nearby internet cafés began to spread by word of mouth: an expert appeared from nowhere, who loved to find fault with snipers...

When I thought my sniper-killing dance steps were proficient enough, I suddenly thought: I always can't beat Andy in mid-range, is it also because of the footwork?

Perhaps because of the different movement speeds of characters in the two games, my ghost-like footwork in Quake could never be reproduced in CS. After countless failed experiments, I finally realized: these are two different games after all, and it is impossible to avoid being hit completely in many cases in CS. And how to avoid vital parts, minimize the damage the enemy does to oneself, and at the same time give the enemy the greatest damage became the subject of my research.

I first observed what others did. Some people jump as soon as they meet, like a reincarnated frog, but the consequence of this approach is often being calmly shot to death in the air by an expert, or being hit in the head by an AK that is uncontrollably raised by a rookie...

More people choose to squat as soon as they meet, which is a good idea, both stable and reducing the hit area, but looking from afar, it seems like returning to the Qing Dynasty: two people meet, one immediately bends their knees and kneels half-way to pay respects "Slave pays respects to master..." The person opposite didn't say a word and also squatted down to return the gift, and then took out their guns and shot at each other. Look! This is called a civilized ancient country, this is called a state of etiquette! Much more civilized than that dueling thing in the West... However, if you take out a person like this, you will be left with half a life if you don't die, ——everyone is squatting and not moving, who can't hit whom?

The method I finally adopted is actually very simple: relying on my superior reaction, I resolutely move in an arc toward the opponent's side at the first moment of meeting, avoiding most of the bullets from the front, and at the same time using my outstanding dynamic vision to focus on attacking the opponent's head while moving... I think most experts can do this, but I firmly believe: only I can do it the fastest and the best!... In constant practice, I gradually integrated my lost dance steps into my mid-range footwork, and I began to look forward to the next meeting with Andy...

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed. "The passing of time is like this, not stopping day or night..." I put my palms together, sighing at the passage of time while praying for the wandering souls who had sacrificed their lives under my gun these days: rest in peace... you will not die in vain... it is your sacrifice over the past ten days that has created my growth... I will miss you...

The tournament is tomorrow, and today is the day for our joint training. I couldn't wait to let Xu Ge and the others see the results of my special training, so I arrived at the internet café early. To my surprise, Xu Ge and Xiao K had already arrived.

I cleared my throat and asked: "How is it? Any results from the special training?"

Those two didn't pay attention to me at all, continuing to stare at the screen in a self-forgetful state. So my hand fell heavily on the shoulders of the two guys who ignored the captain, "How is it, any results from the special training?" I asked again with a smile.

"Ouch!" Both of them were startled.

Xu Ge rubbed his shoulder, "Boss, did you go for special training in Iron Sand Palm..?"

Xiao K seemed very happy, "Xu Ge's sniping is really good now, we don't have to worry about not having a sniper."

Xu Ge had a silly smile, "Where, where, your point-shooting is also a unique skill.."

"I practiced for a long time! As long as I am allowed to squat in a good position, I can hit a grenade flying out of the sky.." Xiao K looked proud, "But this is only a tie with you..."

Xu Ge immediately became smug, "That's for sure, I..."

"Alright, alright," I waved my hand to stop them from continuing to brag about each other, "We'll know after we practice in actual combat."

"That's right!" Yang Mo and Andy had already arrived at some point, both looking impatient.

And so, the last joint training before the tournament began...

Bang! Xu Ge killed another terrorist who tried to poke his head out, Xiao K also occupied a position and shot the invading enemies one after another, and Yang Mo and Andy had already killed their way to the enemy headquarters together...

"Sigh, it seems there's nothing for me to do again..." I thought, holding my gun, bored.

At this time, Xu Ge also spoke, "This is simply not challenging! The opponent is too weak, the results of the special training can't be shown!"

Yang Mo was silent for a moment and said: "Why don't we do this, let's build a server for the 5 of us to play..."

"But how to divide 5 people? How can 2 people fight 3?" Xiao K had an opinion.

"Add me," a familiar dry voice, "3 against 3!"

"Wang Dong!?" Andy looked surprised, "You also play CS?!"

Old Gun glanced at him without speaking, just neatly changed to his outrageously large mouse.

"Good, that's it!" I just wanted to settle the score with Old Gun, and he delivered himself to my door, "Me, Xu Ge and Xiao K are one team! The remaining ones are the other team!"

"Wait... hey hey... this is unfair..." No one paid attention to the fatty's groaning. However, his groaning soon turned into silence, when Old Gun shot Xu Ge to death with a crisp shot...

I stepped on the familiar footwork and was about to pass a corner when I suddenly felt something different. Reflexively, I lifted my muzzle, and sure enough, Andy flashed past me with an MP5 in his hand. My crosshair immediately caught up with his figure, but at this time Yang Mo had appeared like a ghost, easily headshotting me, whose figure was already in chaos.

"Two against one, unfair!" My veins bulged again.

"Hehehe, I don't care if you die!" Andy revealed a ferocious smile, "This is the coordination that Yang Mo and I practiced, wahahaha..." He might have laughed too happily, and as a result, he was immediately shot in the front teeth by Xiao K, who was squatting at the very back...

And Xu Ge, after experiencing several failed sniper duels, finally picked up the M4a1 again. With Xiao K's fire cover and the help of a flashbang, he finally successfully rushed in front of Old Gun. He took out his knife, forgetting himself, "Let you know the power of an all-around player!" Then he died under the muzzle of a pistol while chasing Old Gun...

"It seems that only I can take him out!" A sense of historical mission and responsibility rushed to my heart, I plucked my beloved Dombra, and danced that familiar dance step... Old Gun didn't take it lightly, concentrating all his attention on finding my rhythm... Closer, closer... I was about to enter my firepower range, and the finger on Old Gun's trigger had already started to exert force... At this historical moment, I don't know when Xiao K, who was squatting behind, opened fire...

"Hehehe, I killed him!" Xiao K danced with joy.

"Insidious..." A smile seemed to appear on Old Gun's dark face.

In the subsequent practice, I gradually discovered everyone's progress.

Xu Ge's sniping level was not only approaching Old Gun, but his overall strength had also reached a new high, especially his ability to choose weapons in different situations was very outstanding, and the "Encyclopedia" in the Quake tournament was back...

Yang Mo and Andy's mid-range shooting had both gone up a level, and the two had very good tacit understanding. When the two coordinated and rushed out, I didn't dare to take the lead.

Xiao K's point-shooting was practiced to perfection. If he was allowed to squat in a position first, Yang Mo and Andy would even be suppressed and unable to rush out. Of course, when they couldn't rush out, they would throw various grenades from their hiding places...

However, the biggest change was me. In one-on-one encounters, no one could take advantage of me anymore. And as I constantly dealt with snipers, I knew the strengths and weaknesses of snipers like the back of my hand, and unknowingly, I also became a pretty good sniper...

In the gaps of practice, I stole a look at Old Gun, and sure enough, his ancient face really revealed a smile...

A very happy look...

>>>>>>

"Hey, Wang Dong, I didn't expect you to play so well.. You really don't show your face!" Andy looked like he had picked up a treasure, "Why don't you join us! How about it?"

"That's right, join us!" Xiao K also helped.

Old Gun's face sank, "I've already joined another team."

"Yeah, and registered for the same tournament as us..." I looked like I was afraid the world wouldn't be chaotic enough.

"Ah?" Xu Ge and the others were really surprised.

"Old Gun, why don't we do this," I said leisurely, "If we defeat your team in the tournament, you join us, I saw you playing quite happily just now."

Old Gun was silent for a moment, "Alright."

"However, I won't lose!" The trace of a smile on his face had disappeared.

The next morning, we arrived at the internet café for the tournament. The internet café administrator suddenly asked each participating team member to fill out a personal information form, including age, height, hometown, school, etc. Fill it out if you want, I still didn't think much about it. After everyone filled it out, the 4 groups for the tournament were announced. It was very strange that almost all the teams that performed poorly in the practice matches and were regarded as weak teams were assigned to the first group, and the only strong team in the first group was our old opponent =NoNoYes= from the practice matches. We were assigned to the fourth group, it seems we have to wait until the semi-finals to get revenge.

Xu Ge and the others hadn't recovered from the excitement of yesterday's practice, and they were all murderous. We easily broke through the first two rounds. The opponent in the third round was also a newly formed team, and they had only managed to win two games with difficulty.

"What's wrong with you? Did you forget the tactics because the opponent is weak?" Although we won two games, I was still very dissatisfied, "All acting alone! Do you think you're all Rambo?!"

"The opponent in the next round is average, since you think you are very strong," actually I have rarely been excited recently, "No one is allowed to buy main guns! Only pistols and grenades are allowed!"

My last sentence might have been a bit loud, and the people from that newly formed team seemed to have heard it, and each of them showed an expression of being insulted. I didn't care, strength can decide everything.

We easily won the first round as expected. Although the opponent seemed very angry, they still shot many bullets into the sky, I was helpless... In the second round, we didn't change guns, and the opponent really heard my order before the match, and all bought submachine guns mp5 with their limited money, so our few eager bandit-clearing vanguards fell under the opponent's powerful firepower.

The opponent's equipment became more and more complete, while we were always pistols plus grenades, and as a result, we lost two more rounds. Unexpectedly, Xu Ge and the others didn't complain, just calmed down, each occupied a position, used crossfire to kill the lone terrorists, and when the enemy no longer acted separately, several grenades would explode among them...

I helplessly looked at the score again: 12 to 4. "Sigh, the opponent is really too weak... we still couldn't win like this..."

I looked at everyone's money which had reached the limit of 16000, "Change to main guns, show some politeness..."

"yes, sir!" This bunch of guys had been holding back for a long time, and as a result, they all bought heavy machine guns saw (b51) without exception, so the match ended in the roar of machine guns.

The ★BigBoss★, known as the top four in Beijing, easily broke out of the third group, but there were three people in the team I hadn't seen before, and that smug long-haired kid wasn't there either. It seems that the one who played against us last time wasn't the main force.

The second group fell into a melee, and finally a team with average strength luckily qualified.

After drawing lots, our semi-final opponent was indeed our old friend =NoNoYes=. Their lineup had also changed a lot, the fake foreigner and their captain were still there, and the remaining 3 were all replaced, one of whom was Old Gun! Although the average strength of the teams in the first group was much worse than the others, it was quite surprising that they qualified with a perfect record without losing a game.

We remembered the humiliation of the first practice match and were all rubbing our hands. Hehehe, we are not the original us anymore... Strangely, the fake foreigner actually ignored our hostility and didn't come over to provoke... And the others were all calm, where did they get this confidence? Everyone saw our performance in the preliminaries.

Suddenly, I noticed that Old Gun seemed to be unfocused, which is a fatal flaw for a sniper in a match! What's wrong with him? Forget it, anyway, after this match, he will be one of us. I looked at my teammates again, very good, calm with appropriate excitement, it is the best state.

If there are no accidents, we must be the final winners!

However, my sixth sense told me that this match was definitely not that simple...
