Chapter 108 The First Victim

Desert Ruins is a 5-star difficulty map.

From the background introduction, it used to be an oasis for human beings to survive in the desert. Later, due to the rapid spread of sand, the oasis was submerged by yellow sand, leaving only some broken walls.

The ruins of a small town in the desert are desolate and dilapidated. During the competition, players can hide behind these dilapidated buildings. Every once in a while, a wave of sandstorms will appear, obscuring the players' vision, which is equivalent to a pure natural "all-map smoke bomb". Coupled with the howling wind in the desert, hearing will also be affected.

The foundations of the desert are not strong enough, and all buildings on the map may collapse when bombed. The combination of various factors has also turned this map into a "nightmare mode" in the five-star difficulty map. It has hardly appeared in the professional league. There are too many uncertain factors and it is difficult to play.

Desert ruins map, the team is limited to 5 grenades. However, the training software of the national team will not tell you these rules. There are 10 grenades randomly dropped in the whole map, and the difficulty is more than doubled compared to the usual game!

What's more, in normal games, grenades will not be thrown from all directions, but the grenades of the training software appear randomly.

After being blown up three times and buried twice in a row, Ye Qingming sighed helplessly: "This is not scientific at all. How can 10 grenades be thrown together to blow up people in the competition?"

Pei Feng analyzed it carefully: "Increase the difficulty during training, and you can hide from the official competition."

The truth is true, but increasing the difficulty does not mean that you directly turn your daily training into hell mode, right? Ye Qingming rubbed his temples lightly: "I must pass the eighth level today."

Next, Pei Feng, Lao Lin, Xiao Zhou, Shu Chen and other players who had received the devil training of the ACE team also quickly adapted to the rhythm of the new software, and successively passed the stormy streets of the seventh level and came to the eighth level. , continued to be tortured by the sandstorm.

Liu Shaozhou's reaction speed is extremely fast, he has rich experience in the competition, and he quickly cleared the customs smoothly.

Qin Xueyao is a reconnaissance, flexible, and very good at dodging enemy fire. After getting used to the dim light of the rainy night map and the sound of the rainstorm, she moved as fast as she could to dodge, and finally reached the end without any damage.

Shi Xiaobin's ability to master maps was excellent, and he quickly passed the seventh level.

Mo Hantian and Xia Li fumbled for a while, and finally passed with difficulty.

In the end, only Huaran was repeatedly bombed on the rainy night map.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Jiang Shaoyu sat in the office, opened the management screen and watched everyone's training interface. 10 of the 11 people cleared the level, and Huaran was still playing the seventh level.

He clicked on Huaran's avatar with the mouse, and Huaran's computer interface was enlarged on the screen.

I saw Hua Ran hiding behind the building at the fork to observe left and right. There was a loud "Boom" from the front right, and the light from the explosion of the grenade illuminated the screen. Huaran immediately rushed in the opposite direction, but unfortunately he rushed into a narrow alley, and another one rolled in front of him. The grenade, he had nowhere to hide, and was directly blown away!

Hua Ran scratched her head, smiled and said to Shu Chen, "Brother Chen, this level is like a parkour game. If only there were no limit to the number of grenades in the game, I could blow them up into a pile of meat! "

He continued: "The black grenade is difficult to see, it would be better if it were replaced with colorful lights."

Shu Chen was wearing headphones and didn't hear his voice.

Hua Ran talked for a long time and found that Brother Chen didn't respond, so he had to press "Continue" and restart the training.

After being blown away for two consecutive rounds, a cold voice suddenly came from Hua Ran's earphones: "Hua Ran, you are the only one who didn't pass the seventh level. What are you doing? You are bombed to death again and again, I don't know how to sum up experience. ?"

Hua Ran was taken aback.

Why did Coach Jiang's voice suddenly appear in the earphones? Did he hallucinate?

Seeing that the little boy didn't respond for a long time, Jiang Shaoyu said coldly, "Come to the office on the third floor to find me."

Only then did Hua Ran come back to her senses, pause the interface, and turn around and walk out the door.

Ye Qingming's position was relatively close to the door of the training room. The moment he saw Hua Ran walking out the door, he couldn't help but gloatingly said to Pei Feng, "The first victim has been summoned."

Pei Feng coughed lightly: "Huahua is not a professional player after all, and the foundation is not solid enough."

These professional players sit in front of the computer every day to train. For them, daily training is as common as eating. Change to another training mode, even if it is more difficult, they can quickly adapt.

But flowers are different. He is the king of passers-by who emerged from the Nova Cup, with outstanding talent and special style, but his foundation is the worst of all.

That's the difference between "professional" and "amateur".

During this time in the national team, Pei Feng took him to practice, and he had been using the old version of the training software, which was much simpler than the new version. Hua Ran has adapted to the old version, and the acceptance of the new version is not so high.

He was the first to be taught by the master, which was also expected by Pei Feng.

In the conference room on the 3rd floor, Jiang Shaoyu had a pot of tea on the table, watching the video while drinking tea.

When Hua Ran walked into the office, she was still moved and thought: "Coach Jiang is really serious and responsible, and keeps an eye on the training of the team members. He found out that I didn't pass the customs, and he asked me for counseling alone!"

The coaches who provide "poor students" with small stoves are more gentle than the head teacher in high school.

With this thought in mind, Hua Ran knocked on the door of the office with a bright smile: "Coach Jiang."

Jiang Shaoyu said blankly, "Come and watch the video of your training."

Hua Ran walked over quickly, stood beside Jiang Shaoyu, and looked at the video on the big computer screen.

Jiang Shaoyu's computer can directly log in to the training software with administrator privileges. There are two monitors connected to the host computer, and the screen can be split at any time.

At this moment, on the split screen on the left are the avatars of the team members and the corresponding small frame, and the team members' training interface is being displayed in real time in the small frame about 10 cm, which is as advanced as the police surveillance video.

On the split screen on the right, Huaran's computer interface is enlarged. Jiang Shaoyu clicked "playback video", and then there were clips of Huaran being blown away in the first few rounds.

For the first time, was killed by a grenade rolled from the left in a narrow alley.

The second round was blown away by a grenade behind him...

Hua Ran was a little embarrassed when she saw the tragic scene of her repeated death, scratched her head and said, "Coach, am I very good?"

He thought that Coach Jiang should comfort him gently at this time, saying, it doesn't matter, you are a rookie after all, and there is still room for improvement, so you can improve slowly. I came to you just to counsel you alone.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jiang Shaoyu say coldly, "You also know that you are very good?"

Hua Ran: "...?"

Something seems wrong?

Jiang Shaoyu looked back at him and said mercilessly: "Other players can pass the seventh level, but you are still stuck in this rainy night, why don't you feel any nervousness?"

"You are not an e-sports player. You have poor foundation and weak adaptability. I can understand. But have you been serious and rigorous in your attitude?"

"Where do you think the national team is? Chatting with people while training, being bombed to death, not knowing how to summarize and reflect, and laughing and joking there! Are you here for the national team to travel?"

"When it comes to the World Championships in the future, when you are bombed to death, you have to walk over and tell your opponent that changing to a colorful light grenade won't kill you?"

"Tangling with fancy skins every day, this is a shootout game, not a dress-up game! Do you have any self-awareness as a professional player?"

Hua Ran was scolded and dumbfounded, and stared blankly at the "gentle" coach Jiang in front of her.

Jiang Shaoyu's eyes were sharp, and his voice was frighteningly cold: "I chose you to the national team because of your talent. But don't forget, everyone in the national team is very talented, and some people's talent is even stronger than yours. Many. They all work harder than you, so what qualifications do you have to be sloppy here?"

Hua Ran realized that Coach Jiang was really angry, and immediately lowered her head and said timidly: "Yes, I'm sorry, I have never practiced the map of Rainy Night, the light is too dark, I'm not suitable for it..."

Jiang Shaoyu said: "I know you like fancy lighting effects and colorful maps. However, the game will not choose maps based on your personal preferences. In the future, this map will appear in the World Series, what do you say? The light is too dim. Now, let the referee brighten it up for you?"

Hua Ran: "..."

"Since you have entered the national team, you go abroad, and you represent the highest level of the Chinese gun king e-sports player. You are not serious with such a hippie smile, will you be embarrassed to go abroad in the future?"

"The national team has already started training, so you should act like a professional player. Look at you, how many times have you died in a row in a single picture? Haven't summed up the experience yet? What the hell are you doing?"

Hua Ran was scolded by Coach Jiang and her face was red, and she was completely unable to refute.

He has been the darling of his parents since he was a child. He has a good family and good grades in school. In addition to his outstanding talent in art, he won numerous awards when he was young, and was successfully admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts of Imperial College.

After arriving in college, because of his warm and cheerful personality, he made many friends and became the president of the Jagged Legion. Every time he took his classmates to play in the rankings, everyone would praise him as "so handsome" and "beautiful"!

From childhood to adulthood, he has been smooth sailing, and he has hardly suffered any setbacks.

Is this the first time that have been taught face-to-face by someone?

Hua Ran's brain was buzzing, and she didn't know what expression to make.

"Go ahead, do the review carefully, summarize the characteristics of this picture, and give you two hours to pass the seventh level. Remember, you are a professional player in the national team, not a passerby who plays in qualifying and doesn't care if you win or lose. !"

Jiang Shaoyu looked at the confused boy, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you hear that?"

Hua Ran scratched her purple hair and said tremblingly, "I-I see."

Jiang Shaoyu said: "Write a 1,000-word review tonight, reflect on it, and correct your attitude. Give it to me before lunch tomorrow."

Hua Ran's eyes widened: "Ah? Review, review? I've never written a review..."

Jiang Shaoyu: "Then start today and learn how to write."

Hua Ran: "..."

The moment she walked out of the office, Hua Ran's mind was still a little dizzy.

Is Coach Jiang possessed by some kind of monster? How about a gentle coach Jiang like me?!

Hua Ran, who was scolded and ordered to write a review, just wanted to perform a "crack" emoji on the spot.

After returning to the training room, the players who noticed that he had left looked up at him. Ye Qingming gloated: "The first victim has returned."

Hua Ran: "..."

You guys had expected this long ago? No wonder he always felt that Ye Zi and Fred were as serious as they were playing the World Series when they faced the training software.

I see!

Qin Xueyao in the corner was a little curious, and whispered to Xia Li who was sitting next to him: "What do you mean by victim?" Xia Li scratched her head and said, "I can't explain it either. You will understand when it's your turn."

Qin Xueyao immediately sat up straight and continued to train while staring at the screen.

Hua Ran, who returned to his seat, looked at the computer dejectedly. After a while, he cheekily tugged at the corner of Shu Chen's clothes, and said aggrievedly, "Brother Chen, how do I go about this picture? Please teach me."

Shu Chenshe was afraid of a seizure, and stammered: "I, I... I'll write to you."

He is not very good at speaking and gets nervous when he speaks, but he has no trouble typing.

Shu Chen sorted out his thoughts, and quickly wrote down his thoughts and sent it to Huaran: "The rainy night picture is dimly lit, and it is difficult to distinguish by eyes, so you can only rely on listening. Turn up the sound of the earphones to the maximum, and the rainstorm will cover up the sound of the grenade rolling down. But if you listen carefully, you can still hear a faint sound. There is a 2-second delay in the blasting of the grenade. When you hear the movement, run to the open area immediately. Don't run into the alley and have nowhere to hide. Try a few times and it will pass."

Hua Ran said gratefully, "Thank you Brother Chen."

Opening the training software again, Hua Ran took a deep breath and her face became serious.Coach Jiang was right, he was really careless.He is now a player of the national team and cannot be held back.

According to Shu Chen's "Strategy" prompt, Hua Ran listened carefully to the movements around her, and after several attempts, she finally successfully passed the seventh level at 5 o'clock in the evening.

But then, the difficulty of the eighth level made Hua Ran almost vomit blood!

The noise of the strong wind in the desert, the visual impact of the sandstorm, and the collapsed buildings... Is the difficulty of this five-star map level serious?

After returning to the dormitory that night, Hua Ran sat on the sofa dejectedly, picked up her mobile phone and searched "how to write a review", a good buddy happened to ask him privately: "Hua Hua, how are you doing in the national team?It's heaven, you must be very happy during training these days, right?"

Hua Ran: "...happy?"

Hua Ran: "Why should I go to the national team?"

Hua Ran: "I really cracked!"
