Chapter 635: The God's-Eye View System Game

Three days later.

In a private room at Peiyang Barbecue, Bai Chuzhang and Liu Zhuren sat in front of the television. Ding Laoban had connected the screen-casting early on, playing a variety show.

"High-definition screen-casting costs extra money. Such a big company, how can they be so crazy for money? People nowadays are all obsessed with money. The richer they are, the stingier they get, and the key is that no one keeps them in check," Ding Laoban grumbled.

"I hadn't heard you mention this before. When did this happen?" Bai Chuzhang asked.

"Just today. It happened to coincide with a hit drama, and then there's the grand finale of the variety show," Ding Laoban rambled for a bit before asking, "Bai Chuzhang, is Neymar really coming to find Doctor Xiao Ji for surgery?"

"It's true, and the surgery has already finished. It ended successfully," Bai Chuzhang said. "I just had a call with Xiao Ji, and he said Neymar is leaving the day after tomorrow."

"!!!" Ding Laoban immediately wore a fawning smile. "Bai Chuzhang, that... that..."

"You want Neymar's autograph too?" Liu Zhuren chuckled, not afraid of stirring up trouble.

"Yeah, my son knows Neymar is coming for surgery, and the one performing the surgery is our hospital's Doctor Ji Xiang, so he's been pestering me for an autograph."

"You're the twenty-second person," Liu Zhuren said.

Ding Laoban paused, then gave a bitter smile.

Neymar's popularity in the country is extremely high; it is normal for those hormone-filled little guys who love football to flock to his autograph.

Among these people, it even includes this group of us—myself, Bai Chuzhang, and Liu Zhuren—who are already too old to secrete hormones, yet still hold youthful memories of Neymar.

So it is very normal for many people to want an autograph; it would be abnormal if no one wanted one.

"Watch the show first. If you can't get one by then, I'll give you my signed jersey," Bai Chuzhang said generously.

"Ah, how could I be so bold," a bashful smile appeared on Ding Laoban's thin face, but he did not refuse.

"Lao Bai, I didn't expect that Ji Xiang participating in a variety show would end up with a world-class sports star coming for surgery," Liu Zhuren said. "Tell me, Xiao Ji's life, it's truly tough."

"Ji Xiang's luck has always been very good, and his skill level is high too."

"I went back and thought about it for a long time. Yesterday, I even went to find Professor Deng to understand the situation, wanting to ask about the specific details of the surgery. At the time, I knew a female weightlifter from the Sheng Ti Dui was coming for surgery, but I didn't expect, I didn't expect..."

Liu Zhuren said "didn't expect" twice in a row.

"Didn't expect what? Did you find out about the surgery?"

"No, Professor Deng said he didn't know how the surgery was performed either," Liu Zhuren said. "You say, if even Professor Deng can't understand it, what is going on with this surgery?"

"Back in the day, when the two of us played World of Warcraft, do you remember someone at the gates of Gadgetzan who wasn't wearing any gear, just holding two white-tier daggers bought from a shop, and dueling people while in a weakened state?"

"I remember, it was truly god-tier," Liu Zhuren said with high spirits.

The weakened state in World of Warcraft reduces all attributes and damage dealt by 75%; it can be said to be weak to the Extreme Point.

Back then, that person not only did it in a weakened state, but also wore no gear and used two white-tier shop daggers to duel other players.

This matter once caused a sensation.

Many people thought he was a cheater using hacks, but Bai Chuzhang knew he was likely a professional player just messing around.

"I didn't understand it. I watched the video repeatedly, I just felt the person's operation was awesome."

"Normally speaking, any jumping action will waste 0.2 seconds of time. In a duel against a master, if you subconsciously press the spacebar to jump, you've already lost," Bai Chuzhang said. "All internal values, the initiation, including reaction speed, are key."

"Do you mean that we can't understand Xiao Ji's brilliance? Because our level is too low?" Liu Zhuren asked.

"I suspect so," Bai Chuzhang said. "The Patient is right there... let's put it this way, when I was still in the Surgery Department and young, I found it strange why they couldn't perform some simple surgeries."

"You have a high skill level."

"It's the same with Xiao Ji," Bai Chuzhang said as if it were a matter of course, though he hesitated for a moment and smiled. "Xiao Ji's level is one or two tiers higher than mine, so it's normal that everyone doesn't understand."

Liu Zhuren pondered and gave a complicated smile.

"I heard that when Maradona was a coach, he couldn't understand the players' way of playing," Ding Laoban laughed. "I don't know if it's a joke, but at the time Maradona said, 'There are only three defenders in front, wouldn't you be on a breakaway if you just passed them?'"

"'Hold the ball steady, don't lose it the moment three defenders press you. Take the free kick into the top corner, how could you kick it high?'"

Ding Laoban said a few things similar to jokes.

"That's roughly the logic," Bai Chuzhang said. "'Didn't you see someone making a run on the far side? Just nutmeg them with the outside of your foot, then flick it with your toe, why is your handling of this so laborious?'"

"Different abilities, different things seen."

"But Xiao Ji's level..."

"That's why you can only be a director at the Second Affiliated Hospital for your whole life."

"I can be a director, that already counts as being gifted, you know. How many doctors are there in our whole province?" Liu Zhuren retorted.

"Xiao Ji's surgery is at a world-class level," Bai Chuzhang said. "In '22, when Messi led Argentina to lift the cup, you remember, right?"

"Of course, Messi didn't have it easy."

"Argentina has many stars, but the National Team's record has always been average. Stars, they all think they are the most awesome one," Bai Chuzhang said faintly. "It is said that after a match, Burdisso and Messi had an argument."

"Messi said, 'If you pass the ball to me, I can go on a breakaway.' Burdisso wasn't convinced, 'Pass my ass, there are three defenders in front, are you fucking blind and didn't see them?'"

"Many years later, four years after Burdisso retired, in the '22 World Cup quarter-finals, Argentina against the Netherlands, Messi delivered a pass, and only then did Burdisso know what a god's-eye view was."

"Right!" Ding Laoban slapped the table. "I played FIFA later, and no matter what, I couldn't simulate that pass. If the computer passes like that, we usually call it a 'system ball' when playing games, meaning it's cheating."

Liu Zhuren sighed, his heart filled with yearning.

He felt he had already overestimated Ji Xiang, but he didn't expect Bai Chuzhang to give an evaluation of a god's-eye view.

"On Bilibili, the eight-time champion Ke Jie, who streams Go, basically doesn't explain the moves. His meaning is: what I can't understand, you won't understand even if I explain it, and for what you can understand, don't waste your time here."

"Geniuses, they are all about like that," Bai Chuzhang said. "Don't think about learning the surgery; Xiao Ji is playing a system game, you won't understand it."

System game... Liu Zhuren gave a helpless, bitter smile.

This evaluation.
