EBE Chapter 17 Red Treasure Chest
Chapter 17 Red Treasure Chest
……
Time is like bullets rapidly being fired from a magazine.
Before we knew it, it was November 11, 2023.
Today is auspicious for: weddings, ranking up, opening chests...
A new era of Singles' Day.
This is also the third day of the Shanghai CAC tournament.
"Then let me ask another question: where are Danking's fans?"
"Here it is!"
On the computer screen, with a loud shout from the host...
Outside the glass studio at the Shanghai CAC (Asian Invitational Tournament), cheers were deafening!
"The difference is obvious! All those NIPs are just rotten fish and shrimp, their popularity is not even as good as Egg King's." Ma Xixi commented in Huya 123321 room.
"Danking! Danking! Danking!"
Inside the stadium, the roar of cheers was deafening.
The camera focused on Danking, who was invited to provide commentary offline.
Today, he changed his usual carefree attitude during live broadcasts and unusually wore a sharp black suit and shirt.
"The outcry is too loud, brothers! The outcry is too loud!"
Looking at the fervent eyes outside the studio and listening to the deafening shouts, Danking's face showed a mixture of bewilderment, overwhelmed flattery, and perhaps...
A touch of nostalgia.
Sitting in front of the computer, looking at the egg on the screen that had been with him for five happy days, Bai Dao felt a surge of emotions.
He also wanted to stand on that stage and listen to the cheers from the audience.
You know what, he actually looks quite handsome in a suit with his dark hair.
[Would you still say that if you stood up? (doge emoji)]
[Looks like Dr. Wei from "The Brain," hahaha!]
Respect! The remains!
[Jokes aside...look at Egg's eyes. Hearing the cheers from the audience, this kid probably still wants to play professionally, right?]
As he watched the barrage of comments scroll by, Bai Dao pursed his lips, feeling both like laughing and his eyes stinging.
How could a boy who dedicated his youth to CS not want to stand on the highest stage of CS?
How could one not wish to receive that honor and coronation?
Although Egg only duo-queued with him for almost a week, it helped him make significant progress.
He was very grateful to Dan, so he had no other intentions when Dan went to collect rice.
[Holy crap? Kun is actually resting and watching the game today?!]
[The sun must have risen in the west! For the past month, Kun Ge's streams have been filled with either playing against bots, getting tortured in deathmatches, or playing high-intensity ranked matches. I even suspect he's a bot!]
That's too much! If I had half of Kun's perseverance, I wouldn't be taking the postgraduate entrance exam for the third time now!
"What's a game without snacks? Don't miss the chicken feet tendons from the shared bikes!"
Seeing the comments from some newly arrived fans, Bai Dao smiled slightly and casually typed "GG".
It's been almost a month since he first started live streaming.
In the past month, thanks to the huge traffic brought by Danking's initial visits to his channel, and his extremely disciplined shooting practice like that of an ascetic, Baidao has carved out a bloody path in the fiercely competitive CS live streaming scene.
Now that it's prime time in the evening, the actual number of viewers in his live stream has steadily remained above 4000!
In today's Go community, the ID "Beer Kun" is already quite well-known.
Everyone knows there's this ambitious young man who dreams of becoming a professional gamer.
However, just as he finished speaking...
Suddenly, some discordant voices arose in the live chat.
[Holy crap! Kun, stop selling chicken feet tendons! You've been caught red-handed by multiple streamers!]
[The Supreme Chief of Douyin, Leonkai of Huya, and Goster of Bilibili are all criticizing you!]
Everyone says you've definitely mastered DMA, and that your timing is so good that even a carrier would have to call you master.
[I knew this streamer rose to fame too quickly! Turns out he was a cheater? Unfollowing him.]
Seeing the sudden surge of comments and trolls on the screen, Bai Dao paused slightly, his hand holding the water glass still.
He recognized all of these IDs.
I did a quick search and clicked on a video.
"I didn't originally intend to post this video, but this prodigy is just too much!"
I clicked on another one.
"Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! All wrong!"
"Why look towards the middle lane first? Is the threat there as great as the enemy's position...?"
"Next, the trash pistol round, wrong! What's the point of the seedling position? Sigh, some people are saying, Supreme Chief, haven't you ever seen someone standing on a balcony?..."
Seeing these slices, Bai Dao did not lose his composure; instead, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Can this not be outrageous?
If he hadn't known he possessed the talent [s1mple's Hunting Instinct], he would have thought he had activated it!
[Kun, should we record a video proving our innocence by showing our screen and hands? Or should we confront him directly?]
"It's just a little bit of hardship."
There were also well-meaning reminders in the comments, but Bai Dao shook his head.
"Self-proof? What a load of crap."
"You screen-record today, he'll ask you to screen your feet tomorrow. You can never convince someone who's pretending to be asleep and just wants to gain traffic from you."
Was their intention truly for the good of the environment?
Yes, there are some, but not many.
It's already merciful that the authorities don't sue them for defamation for such subjective and arbitrary "evidence" without any evidence.
Fortunately, the show did a good job in the early stages, and the comments section was quickly filled with jokes and banter.
That was the end of that.
But Bai Dao's heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
He couldn't possibly be as nonchalant as Yuan Ge's assessment of the world.
In CS, being called a cheater by the opponent is something only the cheater will get worked up about; the real cheater will secretly feel smug.
But when you hear it too often, you inevitably feel powerless and your efforts are being rejected.
They believe his efforts are due to the so-called word.exe.
Only Bai Dao himself knows how hard he has worked this past month.
"The Measuring Ruler of the Sky".
Bai Dao silently recited in his heart.
thump—
A translucent blue water mirror unfolded before my eyes.
[Host: White Path]
Age: 20
Mindset: 79-90
Marksmanship: 77-81
Consciousness: 70-80
Reaction: 78-79
Map comprehension: 60-80
Item usage: 60-75
Movement Technique: 45-55
(Note: The entry requirements for third-tier professions are 75+ in all categories, for second-tier professions they are 80+ in all categories, and for first-tier professions they are 90+.)
Looking at the impressive data before him, Bai Dao let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, no matter what others say, the data doesn't lie.
He felt somewhat comforted.
The basic stats are the result of a month of hard work and relentless practice on bot servers, deathmatch servers, and ranked matches, painstakingly working through demos to develop the foundation.
The later the game goes, the harder it is to improve the stats.
Currently, most of his stats are just barely above the passing grade for a second-tier professional.
Besides movement techniques and map understanding.
These two aspects require a lot of game time and practical experience.
Despite his past and present lives totaling over 3000 hours, he used to be a master at only playing Sand City II, with a little bit of the Old Three Zhang skill on the side.
To expand his map pool, he has now trained Infernal Town, Desert City, Nuke, and Ruins to a barely usable level.
The most direct change brought about by this month of high-intensity ranked play is that his current rank has reached the extremely terrifying Perfect Demon King S-66 stars!
Of course, besides the surge in panel data, his greatest confidence also came from the system inventory.
For the past month, he has been diligently working on improving his rating every day.
The evaluation is stuck at the "superior" level, and the next level, "top-tier" or "super popular," is still a mystery to me.
He roughly understood what was going on.
The current competitive environment is not good.
Barren soil cannot produce beautiful flowers.
He needs more formidable opponents and a higher level of competitive environment.
For example, various youth training teams, professional teams, and competitions, as well as various professional players.
At the same time, non-human game data and non-human training results are also required.
After reaching the S level, although it's definitely not enough compared to the level of professional players, it still puts a lot of pressure on him, given his historical A+ level.
In addition, due to the limited resources available, he didn't perform well at the beginning.
It only recently started to get better.
However, struggling on the Perfect World platform won't break this limitation; one must enter the professional arena.
His greatest source of confidence comes from the system's inventory.
【Backpack:
1. 22 Purple Treasure Chests (NPC Level)
2. Pink Treasure Chests (Superior Level) × 8
Due to the limitations of university courses and physical fitness, he could not achieve perfect data every day, but he still accumulated an extremely rich fortune.
As for why they didn't open all these boxes, but instead accumulated them until now?
That's because it can be synthesized, of course.
As its strength increased, the system seemed to become more and more intelligent.
It will give him some information he didn't have before.
For example, the crafting mechanism for this box.
Ten boxes of the same level can be used to advance to the next level.
Since it's difficult to break through the evaluation criteria, let's use a box to open it!
Bai Dao rubbed his hands together.
He was extremely excited about the value of the red and gold treasure chests.
[Should I use 20 purple treasure chests to combine into 2 pink treasure chests?]
【Yes】
……
[Do you want to exchange 10 pink treasure chests for 1 red treasure chest?]
【Yes】
After confirming twice.
There was only one red treasure chest and two purple treasure chests left in the backpack.
Looking at the glittering red treasure chest, Bai Dao felt his mouth go dry.
He had been holding back for a whole month to get this box!
What surprises will this bring?
"Activate!"
Bai Dao silently recited in his heart.
A burst of red light swept across the water mirror.
[Treasure chest successfully opened!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the system expansion module: Settlement Mall (Level 1)!]
