Persistence and Effort 2.0!

"Shouldn't you be happier after winning?" Qin Feng walked over and patted Life on the shoulder as he looked at his teammates slumped in their gaming chairs.

Life: ...

The other three teammates: ...

I'm still so pissed!

But there was no way to refute him.

Life forced out a smile uglier than crying.

"It's fine. There'll be plenty more matches in the future."

"Really? But this is probably your last match." Qin Feng looked at Life with a hint of pity and opened the official Major Qualifier stream, seemingly waiting for something.

The official commentator's utterly flat voice came from Qin Feng's computer.

"Congratulations to TBD for winning the first match on their own map pick, Mirage."

"We can also see that Aether's performance doesn't seem like that of a rookie who has just entered the professional scene at all."

"For the second map, Wings Up has selected DUST2, Dust II."

"The match will officially begin in ten minutes."

"Wait, we have an urgent announcement."

"TBD's Aether has directly reported TBD Club and the remaining four players under his real name before the match."

"He has also submitted a recording of his conversations with the team owner."

"Although the investigation results are not yet clear, analysis and investigation by the Competition Fairness Committee have basically confirmed that TBD's Life, Dark, Wyyxhydmy, and Kay are suspected of match-fixing."

"Several Wings Up players are also under investigation."

"The organizers have confirmed that the match between Wings Up and TBD will be temporarily postponed."

"In half an hour, we will bring you a BO3 between Tyloo and WDNMD."

A blizzard of bullet comments swept across the screen.

[Huaguo CS is absolutely amazing!]

[Chichichi? What a fitting name. Did you start playing CSGO just to farm noobs?]

[I always thought God A was playing one versus five. Turns out God A was playing one versus nine!]

[Wings Up could even lose this? What geniuses!]

[Oh-ho! These match-fixing dogs are about to be punished by the real CTs.]

As for Life and the others, they were completely stunned.

They had fixed too many matches.

If the organizers truly investigated them, almost none of them would escape legal punishment.

Ever since they fixed their first match, they had been unable to stop.

Since they had no chance of qualifying for the Major and getting stickers anyway, wasn't it fine to muddle through their days in the domestic second-tier scene?

Nearly every match TBD played bore signs of match-fixing.

"Sigh."

Seeing his four teammates still spacing out, Qin Feng sighed softly and packed his mouse and keyboard into his backpack.

Today happened to be the day his contract with TBD expired.

He had come prepared long ago.

The moment he realized his teammates might be fixing matches, he had kept his phone's recording function ready at all times.

What he had discussed with the manager before was enough to serve as evidence that could disband TBD.

Not to mention that TBD had already left behind plenty of messes involving match-fixing.

With his mouse and keyboard on his back, Qin Feng strolled all the way back to his rented apartment.

The apartment was not far from the club.

After entering, Qin Feng picked up his phone and checked the time.

4:15 PM.

Tyloo's match would not begin until 4:30 PM.

He first looked at the translucent blue interface that had suddenly appeared before him and could be opened at any time.

[Ding, congratulations, Host, on winning the first map of a Major match. The Persistence and Effort 1.0 System has upgraded to Persistence and Effort 2.0.]

[Qin Feng]

[Age: 19]

[Team: None]

[Aim: 67 (B-)]

[Movement Skills: 33 (D-)]

[Game Sense: 95 (SS+)]

[Looks: Data Overflow]

[Specialties: Sniper Rifle Mastery (A), Pistol Mastery (B)]

[Skills: None]

[Today's Optional Tasks: Kill 10,000 BOTs; kill 100 enemies with a Sniper Rifle.]

(After completing optional tasks, some of your attributes will permanently increase.)

[Today's Special Task: Commentate Tyloo's match.]

Qin Feng froze as he stared at the screen before him.

The 1.0 version of the system had no pattern whatsoever when issuing tasks, and he had been unable to learn anything about his own attributes.

Now, not only did he have an attribute panel, but he also had daily tasks that could increase his attributes.

What could be more enjoyable than watching himself grow stronger bit by bit?

With that thought, Qin Feng immediately turned on his computer and changed his stream title:

Glory! Commentating Tyloo vs. WDNMD!

After all, special tasks were always a little more appealing than ordinary tasks.

What was more, after Tyloo finished playing, he would still have time to complete the optional tasks.

Almost the instant Qin Feng started streaming, a flood of bullet comments poured in.

[God A, God A, you're too strong! One versus nine!]

[I was wondering why TBD's teammates were even worse than Wan Ji Qi. So they really were bought off.]

[Watching Tyloo's match? Um, God A, could you turn on your camera? I have a friend who wants to see you stream with a camera before he dies.]

[That's right, I'm that friend.]

[Looks like God A has already seen through the true meaning of CSGO matches—it's glory!]

[Glory? Have you considered playing Mahjong Soul? You can call ron right from the start.]

As Qin Feng requested the clean match feed from Douyu's officials, he chatted with the viewers in the bullet comments. "Don't worry. Although I really want to make money, I definitely won't do something like match-fixing that violates the spirit of esports."

"The main thing is that I already felt something was off about a few of my teammates, so I made preparations in advance."

"My contract? My contract with TBD has already expired, but the domestic first-tier teams probably won't want me."

"They can't take the risk of kicking DANK1NG or z4kr."

"What do you mean, honorable despite defeat? Don't talk nonsense. The glory in my stream title means Rebuild CN CS Glory."

"Didn't someone say that back then?"

"Choked with tears, Rebuild Glory, Unshirkable."

[Outrageous! I don't understand what the streamer means, but I'm outraged first anyway!]

[666! God A wants to become CSGO's Glory Guy too.]

[That's right, the streamer remembered correctly. Z4kr said it, and Mo was the one choked with tears.]

Although the Tyloo versus WDNMD match had already begun while Qin Feng chatted with the bullet comments, he only half-heartedly commentated on it.

Most of his attention remained on chatting with the viewers.

If not for the special task, Qin Feng would have already been playing against BOTs on AIMBOT.

As an entertainment team, WDNMD simply could not pose much of a challenge to the strongest domestic team, Tyloo.

Sure enough, on the first map, WDNMD managed only eight rounds on their own map pick, DUST2.

That was only because they had won both Pistol Rounds, one in each half.

The second map moved to Tyloo's pick, Overpass.

WDNMD had even less of a chance.

After taking only one round in the first half, WDNMD ended the day's second match with a 2-16 loss.

With a 2-0 overall score, Tyloo effortlessly swept away WDNMD.

The instant the match ended, Qin Feng once again heard the system's crisp notification.

At the same time, the translucent blue screen in the upper-right corner of his vision informed him that he had completed the task.

[Congratulations, you have completed the Special Task: Commentate Tyloo's match.]

[You have obtained the skill: Killing Intent Perception.]
