Although the competition is glamorous, the daily training of professional players is quite boring.

Among them, especially the youth academy that "lays the foundation" is the most, which is essentially to build people into "fighting machines".

In the early days of the e-sports circle, the prerequisites for entering the active team were: the reaction speed was within 0.2 seconds, the error of the position was within 3 cm, and the error of the attack landing point was within 1.5 cm.

In other words, use the program to generate a wooden figure in front of you, the red dot is located at the heart of the chest, you have to draw your sword within 0.1 seconds, and accurately stab the red dot at the heart position, the error cannot exceed 1.5 cm.

To achieve this standard, it takes at least tens of thousands of hours of practice. The process in between, is not happiness at all, but torture.

So the difference between an esports player and a professional gamer is that the former is not playing a game.

It's work.

"I can't do it anymore!" After being knocked to the ground by another lion's tooth of Asker, Medea threw away her long sword, and the whole person fell to the ground on her stomach, crying out, "I really don't have the strength...... Can't move......"

With a bang, Asker's sword stuck in the ground in front of her: "If this is a real battlefield......"

"Then I'm dead! He's dead! Medea cried out to herself, "Dead, right?" Even if I die, I don't have the strength to move anymore! You're a human being, you've me for half an hour, where can my body eat! ”

"Don't tell meat jokes." Asker's face sank, "Isn't it just a few sparring exercises?" And I'm going to hit you with the back of my sword......"

"It's not a few times, it's hundreds of times, brother!" Medea burst into tears, "Your sword is thick and hard, and my weak body has been bruised by you!" It's like I'm going to die! ”

"I said, don't tell meat jokes!" Asker could only cough in embarrassment when he saw that the girls around him were looking at him with strange faces.

"That's it, I'll go out and see if there are any suitable people to recruit, you help me take care of everyone's training first, practice 1,000 times each of the tactical eight styles, and no one can miss it."

"Can I use my psychic powers?" Medea asked.

"Okay." Asker pondered, "But don't overdo it. ”

"Okay." Medea nodded, activating the group psychic suggestion. The girls around them immediately felt full of energy, as if they had no end of strength.

"Eh, Medea, are you initiating the hint?" Nora was the first to notice that something was wrong. Because she didn't like these fights and killings in the first place, but now she has inexplicably ignited the fighting spirit to practice swordsmanship.

"Lend me the book, I'll go out for a while." Aske said to her.

"Oh." Nora took "Ridiculous Dreams" from her back bag and handed it back to Asker.

The spirit unfolded, touching the door, and Aske quickly returned to the plane of reality. Leaving the ancestral house, he stood on the stone steps outside the door, and began to think in his heart.

There are currently two classes left to recruit, one is a ranged gunslinger and one is an arcane mage.

Comparatively speaking, the team needs a ranged gunslinger for now, because Arcane Mages are used to deal with monsters with high physical defense, and such monsters are in the minority, and Medea with the ability of Fire I can also make a temporary cameo appearance as a mage.

Asker himself used a pistol, which could only act as a lower gunner at close range, and the accuracy of the pistol was not enough at a distance.

In today's Constantinople, there are four missions for potentially recruitable Gunslinger NPCs: three of them are males and one is female.

Judging by the malleability and future achievements, the only female gunslinger NPC is the best - this guy was killed by players as a wild map boss in the original open beta stage.

After Constantinople was captured by the Seljuk Empire, the guy was resurrected by a certain necromancer. Reborn as a banshee, she changed her name to Minerva, a name that belonged to ancient Solomon, the goddess of war who punished the wicked.

However, players call her "Minervanas" in homage to Sylvanas from the famous World of Warcraft game of the last century.

In fact, Minervanas was much more fierce than Queen Xi, because Queen Xi used a bow and arrow after all, at least the rate of fire could not be too exaggerated.

Minervanas, on the other hand, used an automatic rifle...... In Official Version 1, when the Seljuks besieged the province of Syris, Minervanas killed more than 3,000 players in the Battle of Kithnos alone.

According to the players who participated in the battle, Minervanas appeared as soon as the gunshots clicked and clicked, and then the player's side fell in rows like dominoes. All players who were shot were shot in the head, piercing the skull with a single shot, and there was no extra second bullet hole at all.

Someone else may be more willing to recruit other male Gunslinger NPCs to balance out the gender ratio in the team......

But again, Asker does not discriminate against women, and everything is judged by strength.

Find this Minervanas.

He remembered that the mission of Minervanas in his previous life appeared the day after the accession of the two Highnesses to the throne, that is, today.

So Asker relied on the memory of the Tribune war report he had read in his previous life, took the subway to the Golden Gate subway station, and then got off.

After walking a few hundred meters in the direction of the seventh hill, I soon saw that the road that had originally gone up the hill had been blocked by the police of the Constantinople police station. Three policemen stood in front of the cordona, warily watching nearby passers-by.

"Hey! You can't go any further! Noticing Asker's approach, a policeman immediately warned him.

"What's going on, officer?" Aske asked casually.

"It's fine." Another policeman said, "There's a little girl who shot and killed a nobleman and is running around in the mountains." Our colleagues are in pursuit of him inside, if anyone rushes in...... They're not going to be happy. ”

"Killed a nobleman?" Asker raised an eyebrow, "I think the families of the victims will be willing to pay a lot of money. ”

"Isn't it?" The policeman laughed, "50 pounds, the bounty offered by the nobleman's father, so there are a lot of mercenaries who have also gone in." ”

"Won't you stop it?" Asker asked.

"Block? Of course. The policeman sighed, "But the seventh mountain is so big, we can't have a blockade to enclose the whole mountain." Now, if you're not going to trespass our defenses, you can turn around and go back. ”

Asker turned around and made a detour into the mountains. As the cop said, they can only block the main road, and if the player wants to burrow into the grass, they will definitely not be able to stop it.

Walking through the dense grass, Asker soon found a path. After continuing his trek for about half an hour, he finally found a torn cloth belt on the bushes on the edge of the mound.

A player who came here in a previous life happened to have a dog in the game. With the help of the dog's keen sense of smell, the player was the first to find Minervanas, who had fled into the mountains, and was killed on the spot without accident.

Even as a living underage girl, Minervanas still showed a high talent for shooting, and according to the player, he was shot in the head on the spot, and he didn't even have time to take a screenshot.

However, Minervanas was unaware of the player's respawn function, so the act of killing was pointless, and soon her coordinates were released in the forums, and she was eventually killed by the players who rushed to hear the news.

Asker continued to walk, taking the wrong path twice in the middle, but finally recognized it and went around it. Between a few trees, he found the bodies of three policemen, with police firearms in their hands that had not had time to shoot, and the magazines were full.

It's all bullets in the eyebrows, and they kill with one hit. This is the right head...... Aske was amazed, it was hard to imagine that a little girl with no extraordinary abilities at all could play it. If there is an NPC's skill level in the game system, Minervanas's spear skills will definitely be at the full level.

Not far from the corpse, he saw several small shoe prints, which were indeed left by the little girl. Apparently Minervanas didn't know how to erase the traces at this time, Asque followed the trails and moved forward again. After walking for ten minutes, I saw the bodies of two mercenaries again, still shot in the center of the eyebrows, and were killed with one shot.

In the rest of the exploration, the corpses that appear one after another are like road signs, indicating the location of the boss to Aske at regular intervals. When he counted the twenty-seventh corpses, he knew in his heart that the other party's bullets were running out.

After all, the little girl is still a little immature, and she doesn't know how long a magazine can shoot when she goes to search for bullets from corpses?

Approaching the edge of a mountain stream, Aske saw a stream of red water flowing downstream, as if someone was cleaning the wound not far away. He drew his sword, rounded the corner, and suddenly swung it upwards with a sharp swing.

With a ding, he blocked the bullet that shot at his eyebrows.

Asker rushed forward at full speed, and saw a petite figure sitting by the stream, his guns firmly aimed at this side, his calm eyes focused and undistracted.

Another shot rang out, and Asker's sword slashed upward, splitting the bullet that was fired at him again. He is already level 2, and his physical strength has completely kept up with the speed of pistol bullets.

The third shot rang out, and Aske slashed the eagle and again cleanly split the bullet in half. After missing three shots in a row, the little girl's face showed no anxiety or fear, but she calmly reversed the muzzle of the gun and stuffed it into her mouth.

In the next second, the pistol was knocked off by the long sword, spun and fell into the stream in the distance. Asker's sword pressed against the other man's delicate throat, and she was forced to tilt her head back, still emotionless in her eyes, just staring at Asker calmly.

"Just want to die?" Asker asked lightly.

The little girl stared at him directly, and her numb expression finally relaxed: "I don't want to die...... What can it be? ”

"You can be a mercenary with me." Asker put away his sword, "With your marksmanship, it will be very promising." ”

The little girl was silent for a long time, and then said, "I killed the nobleman." ”

"What's your name?" Asker asked.

"Miel."

"Listen, Mi'er." "I have a good place, it's safe, and no one will find it, whether it's the police or the lackeys of the nobility," Asker said. There you don't have to worry about death threats, you just have to join my team, play for me, and you can enter that place and receive asylum. ”

He took out a contract from his bag and handed it to the other party: "Sign it." ”

The little girl took the contract, her brow furrowed slightly—Asker had just fired her pistol away with his sword, and the force that came out of his hand had broken her finger bones. Although there was a sharp pain in her index finger, she still endured the pain and read it page by page.

She is a naturally calm gunslinger seedling, Asker observed her every move, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The name ends with "er" or "er" (-el), which is typical of half-elf names.

Just looking at the appearance, you can also see that this Mi'er has half-elf blood on her. Her hair is pale pink, her pupils are emerald green, her facial features are delicate and delicate, the tips of her ears are pointy, and her skin is smooth and almost impossible to see pores and fluff, which is obviously not a trait that purebred humans can have.

It's just that because of being beaten and running away in the mountains for a long time, she looks extremely embarrassed at this time.

His hair was scattered, his cheeks were dirty, his right eye was bruised, the left corner of his mouth was bloodshot and swollen, his clothes were hung by tiny branches, and the strips of cloth were clinging to the wounds, stained with blood, mud and dust, and it was impossible not to get infected like this.

After signing the contract and pressing the handprint, Aske rolled up the contract with his left hand, grabbed Mi'er's arm with his right hand, and stretched his spirit to the "Ridiculous Dream" behind his waist, and the two quickly disappeared in place.

Forty minutes later, the police arrived, and all they saw were a small pool of blood on the rocky beach by the stream.
