Chapter 39 Savage One Punch!
"Bai Jiangyue??!!"
Bai Dao immediately made a phone call.
"Hey? Did you get the quote? Hurry up and accept it, and show me the in-game effects while you're at it."
Before Bai Dao could speak, a lazy female voice came from the other end of the phone, as if sensing something.
"Are you crazy?"
Bai Dao was so anxious that he stood up from his gaming chair, drawing the attention of the Tianlu team members.
Sensing the gazes around him, Bai Dao quickly covered his phone, lowered his voice, and slipped into the bathroom:
"This is a small amount of money! Over eight thousand! You're a freshman in college, where did you get so much money? Did you get involved in some online loan scam?"
Bai Dao's first reaction was to think about what this silly girl had done to support him.
After realizing it, I felt it was impossible.
But the words had already been spoken.
"You're the one who got involved in online loans! You can't expect anything good to come out of your mouth!"
Bai Jiangyue cursed irritably, then added, "Even a fool could hear the smugness in Bai Dao's voice."
"My roommate took me to several anime conventions this past month. I found that the prices of anime merchandise, props, and costumes were ridiculously inflated!"
"Plus, I also took the opportunity to research buffs, C5, and IGXE..."
Bai Jiangyue snorted: "Taking advantage of information asymmetry, buying low and selling high, buying and selling repeatedly, making several times the profit in just over half a month, it's that simple."
Upon hearing this absurd yet strangely reasonable closed-loop explanation, Bai Dao stood frozen beside the toilet.
The timeline... seems to be getting more and more off track!
This girl, who is usually so stingy that she charges a delivery fee even for buying soy sauce, has surprisingly awakened her hidden talent as a reseller after her roommate unleashed her true nature!
Moreover, she actually gave all of her first pot of gold to her brother?
Hey!
Bai Dao couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
It seems I haven't completely failed as an older brother.
Although I don't know exactly how much money Bai Jiangyue earned this month, I imagine that eight thousand yuan is all she has.
Even with living expenses included.
"You..."
Despite being deeply moved, his tone remained stern:
"I'll take the gun skin. But you can't waste money like that anymore. You're only a freshman; studying hard and enjoying life is the right thing to do. Stop being a scumbag!"
After saying that, Bai Dao opened Alipay and decisively transferred 20,000 yuan to Bai Jiangyue.
"You should direct fewer accessories. You can make enough money from the anime and manga industry. This is your start-up capital."
"Also, invest in yourself, eat well, buy some nice clothes, don't let that blond guy... don't let your classmates look down on you."
Then, without giving Bai Jiangyue a chance to speak, he hung up immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Dao suddenly had an idea about how to take care of his younger sister.
The sound of the right fist striking the left palm was crisp and pleasant!
"Hiss... We still need to plan this out carefully."
……
After settling things at home, Bai Dao devoted all his energy to the upcoming professional competition.
In the following days, Tianlu's journey in the arena can be described as unpredictable, bloodless victories, narrow escapes, and ruthless slaughter.
In the second group stage match of the ESL S46 Challengers League, their original opponent was FYR from Russia.
As it turned out, the other party abstained!
Tianlu is the winner!
Upon hearing this news, Bai Dao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that he was afraid of FYR, who had just defeated the domestic team NewHappy.
Just because…
This is a 99% winning team!
Immediately, a large number of videos praising this team will emerge.
This team has no members with backs.
The various outrageous feats of passing through smoke and walls are simply breathtaking.
"Eh? Wait a minute..."
After carefully analyzing the characteristics of this cheating team, Bai Dao noted, "They never search from behind, use all sorts of absurd wallhacks, and have unreasonable counter-ganking timings..."
Isn't that describing me?!
Bai Dao gave a wry smile. If they really ran into these true tech giants, it was hard to say who would sanction whom.
……
The following afternoon.
The ESL Atlanta Asia Closed Qualifier has officially begun!
Although it is still an online competition.
But it was actually featured on HLTV.
HLTV, originally Half-Life TV, was a niche software used to watch CS esports events.
Later, it grew stronger and stronger, integrating into news and competitions, and gradually became synonymous with CS esports.
A permanent archive of all class demos, equivalent to the "Records of the Grand Historian" in Counter-Strike.
For the average player, what's most commendable are his two lists.
One is the world team rankings, which are updated weekly.
However, since Valve got involved and Major direct invites are now entirely based on Valve points, hltv's rankings have become largely meaningless.
The other one is the much-discussed annual top 20 player list!
Every other day at the end of the year, one contestant was released, and on January 1 of the following year, the top three were released directly.
Of course, since HLTV's annual selection rules are extremely subjective and often changed without warning, the final interpretation right belongs to HLTV.
It was once jokingly called an unofficial ranking list!
However, HLTV was still quite valuable at this time.
In the first round of the Atlanta qualifiers, TyLoo will face off against the Mongolian powerhouse, ATOX!
Facing the betting team, the white path launched a powerful attack.
All the spectators thought it was going to be a fierce battle.
But it turned into Bai Dao's solo debut on HLTV, a massacre-themed show!
13: 4!
13: 0!
Not only did they sweep the series 2-0, but they also completely shut out ATOX in the second game!
The two maps have an average rating as high as 2.06!
In the words of the comments: This guy's rating is even higher than his actual height!
However, the White Path did not become arrogant in the slightest despite sweeping away Atox.
Within the established timeline, TyLoo also defeated Atox 2-0.
He simply completed the task that Lao Jiu was capable of doing; there's nothing to be proud of.
What he really needs to pay attention to is THE MongolZ, the number one player in Mongolia, at 8 PM!
This is the winners' bracket final!
If you win, you'll advance directly to the knockout stage finals.
However, Bai Dao estimates that even if they win this match, they will still have to face Mongolia in the knockout stage finals.
There were only four teams participating in total, and the other one, Newhappy, wasn't competitive either.
There is only one spot left to advance, and whoever advances will go to the United States to compete in the main tournament.
……
Eight o'clock arrived as scheduled.
Ma Xixi's live stream.
"Alright everyone, welcome to the winner's bracket final between TyLoo and Mongolia!"
"I'm commentator Ma Xixi!"
"I'm commentator CaptainMo!"
"I'm your assistant, Asuka."
"Who are you? Please tell me the time..."
Ma Xixi skillfully began her crosstalk commentary with her opening remarks.
"50"
"49"
"48"
"Oh, right!"
Mo stopped counting after Ma Xixi said "Correct!"
"Come on, let's take a look at today's highlight match. TyLoo's newly reorganized lineup is facing off against the veteran Mongolian powerhouse. The first map is Nuke, which TyLoo actively chose, and TyLoo is the bandit leader."
"Everyone says that Nuke is a must-play map for strong teams, and the Mongolian team's Nuke is also quite strong, with a win rate as high as 70%, which is an absolute crushing blow compared to TyLoo."
"And facing such a huge advantage from Mongolia, Tianlu actually dared to choose nuke as their first option! Is this just recklessness, or did they come prepared?" Mo asked in surprise.
"Mo, this must be your first time commentating on a match featuring the newcomer TyLoo, right?" Ma Xixi asked with a smile.
"Yes, I've been a bit busy lately, and I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Now that Tyr4nt has joined TyLoo, what changes have occurred?"
"If you're asking about change... let me put it this way." Masisi's tone was somewhat playful:
"When Lao Jiu was around, Tianlu was still considered an academic team, emphasizing formations and established rules. But since the new players joined, that academic aura... has subtly disappeared. This group's playing style, well, it's a bit ferocious, comparable to the Mongolian team!"
"Oh? Is that so...?"
Mo was about to ask how it would be demonstrated when what happened in the live stream truly stunned him.
The first round was the pistol round.
The Mongolian team, as the defending side, incredibly and ruthlessly opened with five shots!
No props, no lightning bolt pliers!
And Tianlu, as the attacking side, was equally impressive!
Four small guns were lit, but Hamburger alone was provided with one cigarette and two flashbangs.
At the start, the four players went to the outer area and threw a smoke bomb at the main entrance. After Kaze from the red box cleared the third floor, the newcomer Tyr4nt on the water tower started up with Mo Siyu.
A big jump, the perspective shifts directly to the glass room.
Just then, a dark CT scanner peeked out from the glass room.
The next second, as the gunshot rang out, a notification immediately popped up in the upper right corner.
【Tyr4nt️X Tyr4nt】
"The newbies here..."
Mo was shocked when he saw the notification in the upper right corner: "Huh? How could he have died from the fall?!"
"They must have been decimated by the Mongolians in the air," Masixi explained. "Their deaths were truly inexplicable!"
Senzu used a USP to headshot Mo Siyu through smoke, killing her instantly.
[910 used a USP to headshot and kill Kaze]
"A single hair can affect the whole situation! Tianlu's initial move was easily neutralized by the Mongols!"
Masi speaks extremely fast:
"Senzu killed one through the smoke at the main entrance, and 910 in the glass room killed Kaze in the outer area."
In fact, that's not all.
bLitz used a USP to kill Mercury.
"Blitzcrank circled around K1 and killed Hamburger near the main entrance again. Now TyLoo only has Xiao Ju left in the inner field! Five of them have 100 HP left!"
One minute later.
"He did his best, Xiao Ju really did his best! He was given an incredible 1v5 situation at the very beginning, and managing to trade three kills is already godlike!"
Mo watched with regret as Xiao Ju was killed by Blitzcrank at bomb site B.
[The legend of the outdoor drop speed?]
[How can this fly to the second floor?]
[What is this newbie?! His spin jump doesn't even look smooth. If he had increased his ground speed a bit more, he probably wouldn't have gotten hit on the head in mid-air.]
This is the third TyLoo match I've watched. Couldn't they even win the pistol round in the first game? Why do they have to start so slowly?!
[Classic kill: 3 kills, 2 left!]
[This Chinese CS game is hopeless. The skill level is terrible, but the cosmetic items are top-tier! Even a newbie's cosmetic items cost over 100,000 RMB!]
In fact, Ma Xixi's live stream is most popular at night.
During the day, many people can't watch live streams because they have to go to work, school, or sleep.
Therefore, many new viewers, like Mo who took leave these past two days, are not very familiar with the White Channel.
Masisi keenly sensed that the wind direction was wrong.
Knowing that if he didn't guide the young man, he would probably be crushed by the torrent of public opinion.
He quickly changed the subject.
"Here's a little fun fact for you all. Do you know the length of a CS game session in 910?"
Sure enough, after this shift, while there were still some trolls in the comments, everyone else started speculating about the duration.
"This Mongolian sniper only has a terrifyingly low 3000 hours of CS playtime. Even more terrifying is that our Tyr4nt from TyLoo has less than half that amount of playtime!"
Seeing that no one had guessed it yet, Ma Xixi revealed the answer:
"This is only the first pistol round. As long-time viewers know, TyLoo rarely wins pistol rounds. Let's see how it goes. Don't rush, give the young player some time."
Despite her outward protectiveness, Ma Xixi was actually quite apprehensive.
Want to beat the Mongolian team? That's a bit difficult!
The top leader of Mongolia is not one of those other oddballs.
This is a formidable team with excellent marksmanship, youth, and a constant stream of tactical systems from top European and American teams while maintaining its own unique Mongolian characteristics!
Why do TyLoo players always get wiped out instantly in pistol rounds? Is it because their marksmanship is bad?
No! It's a gap in tactical foundation and command coordination!
Take that last outfield play as an example. Tianlu thought they were speeding up, but the Mongolian team figured them out completely!
Despite the fact that Mongolia didn't use any props, they had three gun lines crisscrossing outside the arena at the same time!
It was quite normal for Tianlu to die suddenly.
"Hey? Mo, have you noticed something?"
Masisi stared at the player's camera in the lower left corner of the match screen, and suddenly seemed a little surprised:
"Tianlu is losing the match and instead of remaining silent, they're chatting and laughing?"
"Hey! You know what, right?"
Mo nodded. He could also clearly see that Hamburg, who had just been transferred to command, was not frustrated by the tactical defeat, but even had a smile on his face.
Tianlu training room.
"These Mongolian men have brains as hard as guns."
Hamburger glanced around and said, "Guys, forget about protecting the economy. Let's go all in?"
Everyone in Tianlu knows that the Desert Eagle of the White Path is extremely strong!
It often leads to incredible victories!
Everyone knows that the phrase "hamburger" is basically spoken to the righteous.
"Can."
Bai Dao responded.
He didn't actually have the habit of giving up after losing the pistol round.
At this point, Bai Dao was also considered the team's deputy commander, and had a certain degree of command authority.
He planned to start with a Desert Eagle to see what kind of people were on the other side.
One player on the white team was armed with a Desert Eagle, while his teammates had four Tec-9s.
"This wave of smoke from the outer field will send me down to K1. The rest of you hold the inner field. Once I'm in position, we'll start moving together at the iron gate and yellow house."
Hamburg briefly explained the tactics they would be using, and then the players looked down at the details in their tactics booklets.
at the same time.
"Winning the pistol round, getting five M4A1s straight away, that's awesome!"
Masisi was startled by the Mongolian troops firing their guns.
"That's incredibly bold! If they lose, they're completely broke! Even losing just two or three guns would be a huge blow!"
"Huh? Tianlu's side has gone all out too! All small handguns!"
Mo looked at both sides' economic panels and said, "Stop talking. Tianlu isn't going to waste time with your nonsense. They're just accelerating the Iron Gate."
In the game.
Once Hamburg successfully breached K1, their attack at the main gate accelerated instantly!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Crack! Crack! Crack!
[senzu used the m4a1 to kill Tyr4nt]
[JamYoung uses a Tec-9 to headshot and kill senzu]
"Is this newbie really that brave? He just barged through the smoke with a Desert Eagle and was the first one to engage?!"
Mo was greatly shocked.
Ma Xixi, however, was not surprised, knowing that the white team was trying to break the deadlock with the hero Desert Eagle.
However, Senzu's response was also to not give them a chance.
He didn't have time to think, speaking at a machine-gun-like pace:
"Xiao Ju forcefully smashed Sen Zu's head with a Tec-9 and even picked up a long gun! Fourk at the bomb site killed Kaze coming out of the yellow room! 910 at the main entrance also finished off Mo Siyu!"
"The situation has become 2 against 4, is there a chance?"
"Alright, here's our chance at the main gate! Xiao Ju used the spear she picked up to kill 910."
"2 vs 3, Xiao Ju is out of bullets, switches to pistol, rushes to the bomb site, gets killed, what about the hamburger coming up the pipe? Can he finish him off? Oh no! Too bad, he couldn't, got killed by the pistol at the bomb site!"
In Asia, it's all about pure gunfights!
[Who said that? There are way too many Asian dramas!]
[The gunfights are awesome!]
[Tianlu is completely messing around! Purely reckless!]
[Kick the Filipino diver!]
[A savage punch!]
...
"The match was fast-paced, the gunplay was good, the stats were good, and TyLoo started this round from the outside again, with the rookie getting the first shot with a Desert Eagle!"
The match was fast-paced, and before we knew it, it was the second game.
Tianlu Eco is now available.
I thought everything was settled.
Ma Xixi explained casually.
Bang! Explode!
Bang! Explode!
"Another burst of fire! The Tyrant got two headshots from the red chest! And then landed two more shots!"
"Is there a third one? Too bad, just a little short. Will my teammates be able to finish it off?"
"No, even 11 drops of blood aren't enough to heal..."
In the end, Mongolia won this eco round at the cost of losing two guns.
"It's a pity. There are too many long guns in the field. No matter how accurate the Tyrant's Desert Eagle is, it is helpless against this kind of hail of bullets."
Masi sighed.
[No wonder they always let this newbie go first, turns out his Desert Eagle is so swollen! He can one-shot the police with a single shot from the red box!]
You know what, I see Niko's shadow in him, even in the storyline!
The score is now 0:3!
Looking at the battle on the field, Ma Xixi naturally stood on the same side as Tianlu.
My heart clenched.
"Brothers, this first rifle round is crucial for TyLoo."
"Mongols didn't preserve their economy well before, which means that if they win this game, Mongolia will most likely be eliminated."
"This is our hope for catching up!"
