Train Hard! Grow Stronger!

[Daily Training Task Panel Unlocked]

[1. Complete 2,000 bot kills on an aim training map. (0/1)

2. Complete 500 kills in Deathmatch mode. (0/1)]

[Daily Tasks refresh at exactly 8:00 a.m. local time for the host. Completing a Daily Task grants Rise Points, with the amount determined by the host's improvement.]

[Once you choose the path of a Professional Player, you must endure loneliness and monotony. You must complete at least 25 Daily Training Tasks every 30 days. Failure will result in the Daily Training Task Panel being revoked.]

"This really was like getting myself a job!"

However, he did not complain much. He quickly entered the CSGO game interface and prepared to complete his first task.

Su Zhe actually felt a sense of urgency. Although he had the system's assistance, his fundamentals were simply too poor. Coupled with the existence of the Countdown, he could not help worrying about whether he would be able to keep the system a year from now.

This might be his chance to change his future fate. He did not want to let it slip through his fingers.

He let out a long breath and shoved the wild thoughts in his head aside.

"First, 2,000 bots." Su Zhe glanced at the time in the bottom-right corner of the screen. It was 8:11 p.m. "Hope I can finish today!"

He had actually deliberately practiced things like positioning, counter-strafing, and pre-aiming before, but he had always felt they were not very useful in actual matches.

If he was feeling good, he could get kills in straight-up gunfights. If he was not, he would spray wildly like he was watering plants, only to get killed in return.

So after receiving no positive feedback, he had gradually lost his enthusiasm for practice. Every day, he only killed one or two hundred bots to warm up before his first game.

Now, whether it was useful or not, at least the Rise Points he earned could be exchanged for Attribute Points. That was enough!

With that mindset, Su Zhe entered AimBotz, the classic aim training map. After adjusting the map settings and leaving only one wall, he chose his favorite weapon, the AK-47.

Once he officially began, he noticed blue text floating in the upper-right corner of his vision.

[Daily Task 1: Complete 2,000 bot kills on an aim training map]

[Task Progress: 0/2000]

There was even a real-time counter, so he did not need to keep calling up the panel.

He then settled down and crouched to complete a round of spraying. After more than ten minutes, Su Zhe, wearing headphones, felt as if his ears were about to be blasted deaf.

He stretched his wrist and glanced at the task progress bar.

?

Why was it still [0/2000]? Had the system lagged? Its delay was even worse than his computer's. Or was he practicing aim the wrong way?

He patiently searched Douyin for aim training guides and discovered that it was still a tutorial video posted by Tianlu's former captain, Mo.

"When you practice aim, don't just stand still and click bots. How could opponents possibly give you that kind of chance in an actual match?"

"Counter-strafing?"

He understood the mechanics of counter-strafing. At most, he just could not stop properly in real matches. In the practice range, though, he could still pull it off easily against bots.

After watching the video, Su Zhe decided to try incorporating counter-strafing into his bot practice.

"Tap~"

[Task Progress: 1/2000]

Su Zhe: .

This directly crushed his plan to farm bots with a Negev!

Only a complete sequence of counter-strafing, positioning, firing, and getting a kill would be counted as a valid kill. Everything else was voided.

Although the entire process was not difficult, it took far too much time. After stopping from movement, his crosshair would also deviate slightly, requiring a real-time second adjustment.

If he only controlled the mouse and clicked heads, he could get seventy or eighty kills per minute. If he added counter-strafing, he could get at most forty or fifty.

But since he had already decided to take this path, he might as well do it!

Su Zhe began to focus, using the mouse to position his crosshair and fire, while the keyboard handled left-right movement and counter-strafing with A and D.

At first, before reaching 500 bot kills, he still felt a faint sense of novelty. But after passing 500, mechanical operations and monotony came crashing down on him, making him want to take a break more than once.

On top of that, his mouse control—his positioning ability—was far too poor. He struggled to land one-tap Headshots and always needed several micro-adjustments to secure a kill, which made him increasingly irritated.

Was this the daily training of a Professional Player?

In Su Zhe's impression, Professional Players were always glamorous. They just played games normally, then relied on their Talent to earn the cheers of the audience on the professional stage.

Did Not Expect that behind it all, it was this boring. He also understood the system's prompt.

[Once you choose the path of a Professional Player, you must endure loneliness and monotony.]

By relying on persistence, after nearly an hour, the task progress finally reached 2,000 bot kills. A heavenly sound rang in his ears.

"Ding~ Daily Training Task 1 complete. Based on completion efficiency and the host's improvement, Rise Points +179."

Awesome!

That was Su Zhe's only feeling at the moment. He felt like a man who had wandered through the desert for a long time before suddenly finding an oasis. All the boredom and tedium of the process were swept away!

He could get 179 points just by completing one training task. Did that not mean he could exchange for an Attribute Point in the shop every three or four days as long as he kept at it?

Of course, that was only Su Zhe's guess. After all, the task description said that rewards would be based on the host's own improvement.

As for whether future rewards would diminish, or how much they would diminish by, he was not sure.

But after receiving positive feedback, Su Zhe, who had been somewhat tired, immediately became fired up again!

Previously, he had only treated CSGO as a game. After discovering that he lacked extraordinary Talent and was too far from S Division, he had gradually lowered the goals in his In Heart.

If the system had not arrived, and he still could not reach B Division after a while, he might have chosen to buy a FAMAS every round on the Ladder and treat it as a genuine game for entertainment.

At that moment, he also understood the system's greatest purpose.

As long as he worked hard, he could turn that effort into part of his strength!

It was precisely this constant positive feedback that gave people the motivation to keep striving forward.

Full of drive, Su Zhe immediately began his next task and entered a Deathmatch server to start the brawl.

After being killed countless times, Su Zhe felt that his positioning ability had improved somewhat, and his feel was getting better and better.

Sometimes, by relying on muscle memory, when he flicked his crosshair over, it would land right on the opponent.

"Ding~ Daily Training Task 2 complete. Based on completion efficiency and the host's improvement, Rise Points +197."

The two daily tasks took around two hours in total. The moment he shut down his computer, he felt as if his right hand, which had been gripping the mouse, was almost frozen in place, while waves of soreness spread through his forearm.

But compared to the 376 Rise Points he had gained, the physical exhaustion hardly mattered.
