Hearing Fat Brother say that, Su Zhe almost wanted to go play Valorant with him.

In the several hundred hours he had spent playing CSGO, he could count the girls he had encountered on one hand.

As a normal man, Su Zhe was naturally interested in certain things, but he quickly shoved the thought out of his head.

With no women in your heart, your aim naturally becomes godlike!

The scarcity of female players had its benefits too. At the very least, he would not run into absurd creatures like Fit Goat and Pretty Goat too often on the Ladder.

He stretched, loosened up his wrists, and prepared to begin today's rank-up session.

After queuing, he opened Douyin as usual to pass the time. At A+, the number of players had gradually begun to dwindle.

Since it was not the weekend, it generally took several minutes to get matched with opponents.

Perhaps because he had been watching Leon Kai's videos so often lately, he came across another one after only a few swipes. But Did Not Expect, this time, he himself was the subject of the video!

Leon Kai, glasses on as always, still spoke in that especially sleep-inducing tone. The first sentence of the video was the same as before.

"I originally did not want to make this video, but I recently received a lot of private messages saying that a new C+ player who had previously asked me to review his Demo had climbed to A+ within a week. I also edited clips of that match, and they were in a few of my previous videos. The main reason I made this video is that many people think the person in that video climbed by using cheats."

After briefly explaining the background, Leon Kai continued, "Actually, when I saw the account owner's rank screenshot under that video, my first reaction was the same as everyone else's. Genius Youth do exist, but he had been stuck at C+ for over 500 hours before suddenly reaching A+, which was clearly unusual. So, with those doubts in mind, I picked out and watched some of his Demos from the past few days."

Leon Kai's video was as detailed as ever, and the computer desktop in the footage had changed to Su Zhe's Ladder matches.

Nor was he simply discussing one Demo. He selected some of Su Zhe's Demos from each rank bracket and compared them in detail.

His goal was to prove to viewers that Su Zhe had been growing stronger step by step, rather than being a C+ player one match and suddenly dominating everyone like an untouchable force in the next.

"Look at him when he first reached B Division."

"Now look at this match where he got promoted from B+ to A+."

As Leon Kai's unhurried analysis continued, the video gradually approached its end, and he gave his final assessment:

"Overall, I personally do not think there is any suspicion of cheating. On the contrary, he really does seem to have some talent. With reactions like that and proper training, he might genuinely achieve something in the future."

At that point, Leon Kai could not help but complain, "I remember the original account owner said he wanted to go pro, but what kind of aspiring Professional Player spends every day grinding a single map? And it is Dust II, a map that is not even in the active pool. At least practice some other maps."

"If the account owner himself has any questions during his improvement process, he can private message me. If I see it, I will answer."

The video, more than ten minutes long, came to an end. Su Zhe even began to feel grateful toward Leon Kai.

Who would help a stranger they had never met like that on the internet? Not only did he not charge anything, he was even generously willing to answer questions at any time.

At least, Su Zhe knew he could not do that.

Only after watching the video did Su Zhe realize that Leon Kai had followed him at some point. He immediately followed back.

Seeing this, Su Zhe felt even more guilty... Leon Kai had reviewed his Demos and given him advice for free, yet Su Zhe had not even taken the initiative to follow him.

He immediately opened Leon Kai's private messages and replied, "Thanks, Brother Kai, for specially clearing things up for me. From now on, I'll keep your Live Room open every day and recommend your stream to my classmates too!"

Leon Kai found the reply both amusing and exasperating. "There's no need for that. Focus on improving yourself first. Also, is it true that you said you wanted to go pro?"

Su Zhe replied decisively, "Of course it's true!"

Leon Kai replied, "Then can you tell me what your daily training consists of? I can give you some advice."

After seeing the message, Su Zhe sent over all of his system's daily training tasks.

After reading them, Leon Kai replied about the training routine, "There are no major problems, but there's no need to deliberately grind bots. Once you have a solid foundation, that kind of practice is not very useful anymore."

Su Zhe could not help but admire him. Yesterday, after completing the task of killing bots, the system had only given him a little over ten Rise Points.

He had only completed it because even a mosquito leg was still meat. The Pre-aim Challenge was what benefited him the most now.

Moreover, Su Zhe had noticed that when he watched Demos, he earned more Rise Points whenever Fat Brother was beside him to answer his questions.

So, once again adopting an eager-to-learn attitude, he asked, "Then could Brother Kai give me some advice? I really feel like my improvement has been very slow lately."

The moment he sent the message, Leon Kai sent back several pieces of advice:

First: killing 1,000 bots a day was enough for warming up and getting a feel for the game.

Second: you were still practicing Pre-aim far too little. He recommended doing every map at least three times a day. As for difficulty, there was no need to set it to pro level at the start. Normal would do.

Third: you could keep doing Deathmatch, but do not complete tasks just for the sake of completing them. Incorporate more techniques into it, such as Pre-aim and spray transfers. Your Recoil Control fundamentals were still far too weak.

Fourth: since you wanted to go pro, stop fixating on Dust II. Try more maps from the active pool.

Fifth: watching Demos was a great habit. Keep it up.

Leon Kai then added one final message: You play on the Perfect World Platform, right? How about this—if you can reach Diamond S and your stats are decent, I can introduce you to a path into a professional team.
