"This is basically finding myself a job!"
However, he did not complain much. He quickly entered CSGO and prepared to complete his first task.
Su Zhe actually felt a sense of urgency. Even with the system's assistance, his fundamentals were simply too poor. On top of that, the Countdown forced him to worry whether he would still 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 pushed the wild thoughts from his mind.
"First, 2,000 bots." Su Zhe glanced at the time in the lower-right corner of the screen. It was 8:11 p.m. "Hope I can finish today!"
He had deliberately practiced things like positioning, Counter-strafing, and Pre-aim before, but he had always felt they were not very useful in actual matches.
When he was feeling good, he could get kills in straight-up gunfights. When he was not, he would spray wildly while pulling down his aim, only to get killed in return.
Without any positive feedback, he had gradually lost his enthusiasm for practice. Every day, he only killed a hundred or two bots to warm up before his first game.
Now, whether it was useful or not, he could at least exchange the rewarded Rise Points for Attribute Points. That was enough!
With that mindset, Su Zhe entered AimBotz, the classic aim-training map. After adjusting the settings and leaving only one wall, he picked his favorite weapon, the AK-47.
Once he was ready to begin, 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 would not need to keep calling up the panel.
He then settled down, crouched, and started a round of spraying. After more than ten minutes, Su Zhe, wearing headphones, felt as if his ears were about to be blown deaf.
He stretched his wrist and glanced at the task progress bar.
?
Why was it still [0/2000]? Was the system lagging? Its delay was even worse than his computer's. Or was he practicing the wrong way?
Patiently, he searched Douyin for aim-training guides and found a tutorial video posted by Mo, Tianlu's former captain.
"When you practice aim, don't just stand still and click bots. How could you possibly get opportunities like that in real matches?"
"Work in Counter-strafing?"
He understood the mechanics of Counter-strafing. At most, he just could not stop properly in real matches. In a training map, though, he could use it easily enough.
After watching the video, Su Zhe decided to try incorporating Counter-strafing into his bot practice.
"Tap~"
[Task Progress: 1/2000]
Su Zhe: ...
That completely shut down his idea of farming bots with a Negev!
Only a complete sequence of Counter-strafing, positioning, and firing for a kill would be counted as a valid kill. Everything else was void.
The full sequence was not difficult, but it took too much time. After moving and Counter-strafing, his crosshair would also shift slightly, requiring a second real-time adjustment.
If he simply controlled his mouse and went for headshots, he could get seventy or eighty kills a minute. With Counter-strafing added in, he could manage at most forty or fifty.
But since he had already decided to take this path, he might as well do it!
Su Zhe settled down and began. His mouse controlled his crosshair for positioning and firing, while his keyboard handled his A and D movements and Counter-strafing.
Before he reached 500 bot kills, he still had a trace of novelty driving him. But after 500, the mechanical actions and monotony hit him, and he repeatedly wanted to take a break.
On top of that, his mouse control—his positioning ability—was simply too poor. He struggled to land one-tap headshots and always needed several tiny adjustments to secure a kill, making him increasingly frustrated.
Was this a professional player's daily training routine?
In Su Zhe's impression, professional players always looked glamorous. They played games every day, then relied on their talent to earn the crowd's cheers on the professional stage.
He did not expect it to be so boring behind the scenes. He finally understood the system's warning.
[Once you choose the path of a professional player, you must endure loneliness and monotony.]
Relying on persistence, when the task progress finally reached 2,000 bot kills after nearly an hour, a heavenly sound rang by his ear.
"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 right now. He felt like a man who had wandered the desert for ages and suddenly found an oasis. All the monotony and dullness of the process were swept away.
He had earned 179 points just by completing one training task. Wouldn't that mean he could exchange for an Attribute Point in the shop every three or four days if he kept at it?
Of course, that was only Su Zhe's guess. After all, the task description said rewards would be based on the host's own improvement.
As for whether the rewards would diminish later, or by how much, he had no idea.
But with positive feedback, Su Zhe, who had been somewhat tired, immediately became full of enthusiasm!
Before this, he had only treated CSGO as a game. After realizing he did not have exceptional talent and was still far from S Division, he had gradually lowered the goals in his heart.
If the system had not arrived, and he still could not make it into B Division after some time, he might have started buying a FAMAS every round on the Ladder and treated it as a real game for entertainment.
At this moment, he also understood the system's greatest function.
As long as he worked hard, he could turn that effort into part of his own strength!
It was precisely this constant positive feedback that gave people the motivation to keep striving forward.
Filled with energy, Su Zhe immediately began his next task, entering a Deathmatch server and starting the chaotic brawl.
After being killed countless times, Su Zhe also felt that his positioning had improved somewhat, and his aim was getting better and better.
Sometimes, relying on muscle memory, the moment he flicked his crosshair over, it would land right on his 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 instant he shut down his computer, he felt as if his right hand, which had been gripping the mouse, was practically frozen in place, while waves of soreness came from his forearm.
But compared to the 376 Rise Points he had gained, the physical exhaustion barely seemed worth mentioning.
