While the general public is slowly being influenced by the Dragon game, those slightly more professional gamers have already begun to explore the tricks of the game, and they gather in groups of three or five, from simple friends online games to challenge their own operation and awareness, and gradually move closer to high sensitivity, quick response, and exquisite tactical deduction.

It's all done unconsciously, and the motivation may be the idea that "Pete is better than me, and I can kill him on the board as long as I have a faster hand speed", and they position themselves as "people who are better at playing games", and they don't know what professional game gamers do, and there are no jobs in society that can allow a large number of professional gamers to survive.

Therefore, there are very few real professional gamers, and occasionally a very few people can reach the peak of playing games, and they must also rely on other related industries to survive.

In the 80s and 90s, game design programmers were the first batch of players, for example, the designer of "Pokemon" Tajiri Chi, who was a bear child in the eyes of others since he was a child, and his skills in playing games since he was a child were first-class.

The designers of "Kirby of the Stars" Masahiro Sakurai and Satoshi Iwata are the same, the HAL Research Institute has been a rescuer for Nintendo before it was acquired by Yang Yun, and the employees are all from playing games, before the establishment of HAL, they were fooling around in the computer hardware sales section of a shopping mall in Tokyo, and gradually changed from game fanatics to game planners.

Now, Tajiri has become the father of Pokemon admired by everyone, and Satoshi Iwata has become the vice president of the Japanese branch of Longteng Corporation. In the future, he will take over Hayakuo's class and transform from a game maniac to a corporate executive. Can it be said that because the pressure of professional players is too great and they have to change careers?

In a wealthy neighborhood in the east end of Hamburg, Germany, three young people are playing games in a garage. Four or five computers were laid out haphazardly, the floor was littered with tangled cables, and a good garage had been turned into a cluttered game room.

The loudspeaker sound in the garage was turned to the maximum, the roar of the chainsaw pulling, the assault of the machine gun spraying, and the shouts of several people laughing and scolding each other, making the neighbors wonder if the young man's motive for playing the game was a rehearsal of a shootout and other crimes against humanity.

“Humiliation！”

A dull male voice burst out of the speakers, followed by a young man's angry scolding.

"Bastard! Tim, you bastard! I'm going to tear you to pieces! Kill me with a chainsaw! What a shame. I'm going to kill you......"

The young man named Tim laughed arrogantly: "Hans, it's because your technique is too rough, how can you blame me?" I didn't even know how to touch behind you, which made you feel humiliated? Ha Lu Ha, it's extremely refreshing for me! ”

The third man shouted, "You're all too inferior, look at my 'Dungeon Butcher' Hatton to finish you off!" Give you a DoubleKill! ”

"Reborn! Again! This time there are still ten minutes left, and now everyone has about the same number of points, and when the game is over, who has the lowest number of kills today. Who pays for takeaway! Hans slapped the mouse hard, snapped the keyboard, and shouted unconvinced.

"Come on! It's useless to say more! Strength is everything! ”

"Suffer death! Don't try to hide! ”

On the computer screen, several people run inside the bizarre house. Surrounded by a colorful environment, characters are running rapidly, and the high-speed shaking of the first-person perspective can make people dizzy. But once you get used to it, you don't have the slightest obstacle to observation, and this is exactly what IDSoftware's game has just been on the market for a week - "Quake 1".

Dare to confront the dragon head-on. Under the pressure of KTT many times, it can still be suppressed, and the spirit of ID company is quite admired by peers. Eventually, KTT was pardoned by Yang Yun, and KTT never mentioned the acquisition of IDs, leaving them to choose to defect to the new owner or develop other new games based on the Doom engine.

It's a pity that they have been working hard for a year, and "Quake 1", which has just been released for a week, has not had time to enjoy the thrill of worship by thousands of game fans, and Longteng's similar game "Special Forces" has followed, and the two sides will inevitably have a head-on competition.

Tim and Hans are avid PC game enthusiasts, and for them, there are only two games in this world, good games, or bad rubbish.

Obviously, they have been fighting "Thor's Hammer 1" for two days in a row, and they are classified as a fun genre, and their group of college students who are about to graduate rarely take advantage of the summer time to get together to play games, and they never get tired of it.

"It's a shame Joey isn't here! If he comes over today, we can play the 2vs2 battle mode! I can make you the same as yesterday, beaten and unable to find your way! ”

"Hatton, have you been mistreated by us and want to change the subject? Even if Joey were here, Tim and I wouldn't agree to you two being on the same team! Even if Joey wants to bring people, bringing me is the most balanced! ”

"Are you embarrassed to say this? Hatton, you want your brother to play with you, right? My brother's game skills are not as good as my brother's, tsk, it's ridiculous to say it! No, I'm going to fight with Joey, I don't want to face Joey's muzzle alone! ”

Several people were noisy and laughing, and did not forget to continue to tease Hatton, who was at the bottom of the points, at halftime.

Hatton put down the mouse, and in between a Coke drink, he caught a glimpse of a mountain bike racing outside, and a tall, lanky young rider made a beautiful tail flick and stopped at the garage door, grabbed the pizza delivery that almost fell to the ground, leaned the mountain bike against the wall, pushed the door open and walked in.

He's the Joey everyone is talking about.

"Hey guys, don't patronize and eat!" Joey placed the pizza on a woodworking lathe full of tools and looked at the three gobbling guys crying and laughing, "How long have you not been out?" Haven't eaten since this morning? ”

Hatton stuffed his mouth full of pizza and munched on it, grabbed a bottle of Coke with a small half left, drank it down, and said with a burp, "You're so right!" We've been training for more than five hours, why are you here? ”

Seeing Hatton casually throw the empty bottle into the pile of drink bottles in the corner, Joey frowned and shrugged: "I said brothers, maybe it's time for us to change the way we play!" A whole new world is about to unfold to us! ”

Joey took out a few boxes that were tied together, looked at the tanks, cannons, and guns on the exterior, and then thought about Joey's character, and the others knew that this must be a new PC game.

"It's ...... A first-person shooter from LongGame? Wow! And real-time strategy games! And sports games? Hatton took the packed game box, easily tore open the tape, and looked left and right.

"What the hell is this?" Hans casually picked up the game box of "NBAGame96", looked at O'Neal who was dunking on the cover, and said unhappily: "Why is the cover character not Jordan, but a black fat man who no one knows?" I'm going to give a bad review for that! ”

Tim Ha laughed: "Who doesn't know that your knowledge of the NBA is only the words America and Jordan?" Don't kid Hans, I think you'd better start with the Thief game, master the first-person operation, learn the principles of sound recognition and light and shadow, you've been humiliated by my close-up chainsaw three times! ”

Joey casually pressed a shortcut key on a keyboard to bring up the current record, and the three of them actually have similar personal skills, and the difference in the number of heads is in single digits.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's take a look at the game "Special Forces" first. Install the game, I'm here to tell you some shocking news. Next year, LongGame will host a world esports competition, and one of the first-person shooters is this Special Forces. And "Quake 1", although they didn't say it, but listening to the tone of the promoter of the Dragon Game franchise store, they shouldn't adopt it! ”

"Esports tournaments? It's players from all over the world who come together to play games, and who can play the best? ”

"Sounds really good, in the past, some Japanese game manufacturers liked to do this kind of thing, and Dragon Sega is the same, every year the Sega Carnival invites some amateur players with high game skills. Just sound, this World E-sports Tournament looks like a professional selection competition? ”

"Yes, there is no limit to the number of registrations, each country has a certain number of places, and then they represent the country in the WCG Finals, they completely imitate the rules of the Olympics!"

"Wow! There is no restriction on the registration conditions, wouldn't that be a big advantage for those of us who 'played the game well'? ”

"Please, Hans, you're thinking too much again! Maybe from now on, there will be a large number of players in this world who concentrate on playing games and go for the high prize money of WCG! WCG prizes start at $100,000, aren't you tempted? ”

Joey went to the Dragon Game franchise store in person, and after playing a few games in the somatosensory area, he didn't hesitate to buy them, and after he got enough information from the promoters and shopping guides, he quickly ran home and made a cameo appearance as a pizza delivery boy by the way.

The Special Forces game was installed on four computers, and Hans was the first to install it, and he couldn't wait to get the game up and running.

Unfortunately, there's nothing, and the interface is inexplicable, with only one multiplayer option, and then exit and help settings.

Could it be that LongGame couldn't be simpler than that? The crowd wondered. (To be continued......)
