Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Duel (I)
Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Duel (I)
Melbourne is located in Florida, United States, and is the southeasternmost coastal city in the United States.
On the map, Melbourne and Aberdeen are separated from each other, and it seems to indicate that two different heroes will be born in the two marginal cities.
In fact, Melbourne is far more famous than Aberdeen, because the city has given birth to the famous architect Griffin, diving prodigy Phelps, and a sniper prince Ray who dominates the CS world.
X3RayοΌ
When it comes to this name, everyone in North America in 01 and even in the world knows it.
A person doesn't know the name of X3Ray, it's really like a Jianghu person who doesn't know Xiao Li's flying knife and doesn't know that Dugu is seeking defeat.
In the battle of the century between NIP and X3, Ray showed his AP technology to the world for the first time, showing a very terrifying height.
If the height of the sniper rifle can be divided into five types: "god, demon, immortal, saint, and demon".
Undoubtedly, God, he shot blood and killed to the end;
Fisker on the 4th floor is undoubtedly a demon, always killing opponents from an incredible angle;
zEx's Dkt is undoubtedly an immortal, and his AP has been used to the point of perfection, faintly gaining the Tao;
The 3D Miller is undoubtedly a saint, and it can also be thrilling on a stable basis;
And Ray is a demon, once described by a Chinese person, once this person releases the sniper monster, no perfect defense can withstand destruction.
Sniper rifles are demonized, but Ray himself is not.
He is not as dashing and flowing as people think, he is very short, slightly chubby, slightly dark-skinned, and has short brown hair, and it is difficult to recognize him if you stand in the crowd, he is really an ordinary person.
Especially his round face, whenever you look at it, you will see that he seems to be smiling, but also seems to be silent.
Now Ray was lying under a sun umbrella on the beach, watching the chasing and frolicking crowd.
The afternoon sun is strong, and the beach is lively, with people swimming, playing volleyball, and basking in the sun.
It's a really pleasant day.
Ray's girlfriend is Melbourne's supermodel Eliqi, a blonde with a slender figure and good looks.
Eliki was lying next to Ray in a bikini, Ray hugged her beloved woman, looked at the vast sea, and enjoyed this dream-like life.
Only such a poetic life can wash away the shadow in his heart.
In the distance, Eliki saw a man walking this way.
"Ray, let's go back." Eliki suddenly coquettish.
Ray was puzzled: "Honey, it's only 3 p.m., it's still early." β
But Eliki couldn't help but pull him up and walk back, Ray was puzzled, but had to rely on her.
He and Eliqi have been neighbors since childhood, but they can be said to be childhood sweethearts, he is always obedient to her, but there is only one exception, and that thing is CS.
Within a few steps of walking, Ray knew why Eliki was upset.
Because he finally saw someone, he couldn't help but say, "Chris." β
"Hey, are you okay? My friend. Chris took off his sunglasses and smiled.
Before Ray could speak, Eliki jumped out and pushed Chris, "Go, go, go, you're not welcome here." β
Ray laughed, "Edily, don't do this to Chris, Chris is our friend. β
Eliki shook her head in dissatisfaction: "I knew you would say this, I had a bad premonition as soon as this guy came." β
Chris smiled: "Don't worry, I'm just coming home from vacation this time to have fun." β
"Oh? Is it? Eliki looked at him suspiciously, looking at him all over his body.
Chris was wearing only a pair of swim trunks, and it looked like he was swimming, not like he was lying.
Eliki has always known that her boyfriend and Chris are both out-and-out crazy people, once they get into CS, the two will be completely involved, and they will no longer care about the outside world, and they finally have time with Ray to spend the world together, and this guy who doesn't know what to do will come to interfere.
"Chris, it's been a long time, are you still having a good time in Aberdeen?" Ray put his arm around Chris's shoulders warmly, "Let's go to the tavern in front for a couple of drinks." β
Chris smiled, "I still have a few friends over there, why don't you shout for a piece?" β
Ray followed his gesture and saw two women and a man frolicking under the umbrella in the distance.
A little blonde girl, a beautiful woman with black hair like a waterfall, and a dark-haired man in sunglasses.
"What? Are your friends Asian? Ray asked.
Chris winked and smiled: "Do you want to get to know each other, I'll introduce you?" β
Eliki breathed a sigh of relief: "Is it an Oriental?" Of course, I'd love to get acquainted. β
In her consciousness, Orientals don't know how to play CS.
Ray laughed, and so did Chris.
"Wow, you've got good skin." This was Alice's first reaction when she saw Eliqi.
"You little fool." Lu Fei couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, aren't you the supermodel Eliki who advertised for Sirbi?" Alice exclaimed.
Huo Xixian smiled: "Yes, it's her, hello, my name is Huo Xixian, this is my friend Alice, it's nice to meet you." β
"Miss Huo and Alice are so beautiful." Eliki was also surprised, "Welcome, and it's a pleasure to meet you." β
All three women were overwhelmed by each other's looks, and all at once they chirped like little birds on the beach.
"Sure enough, it's three women in one play." Lu Fei drooped his eyelids.
"Ray, this is my friend, his name is Lu Fei." Chris introduced.
Lu Fei took off his sunglasses.
Ray was stunned, and then said in surprise: "MDK, China flying?" β
Lu Fei was also stunned, and then laughed again.
"You are the Chinese who brought down XeqtR and strom, MDKL." Ray couldn't hide his surprise.
"I've talked about it." Lu Fei smiled and extended his hand in a friendly manner, "Nice to meet you, X3Ray!" β
Ray sighed, "I'm not an X3 anymore. β
Lu Fei smiled: "Ray is Ray, no one can replace it." β
Ray suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Fei, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Thank you." Ray said earnestly.
"If you're interested in having two drinks, I'll please." Lu Fei smiled.
Ray smiled, "Okay. β
Liquor is beer.
A few large bundles were placed under the umbrellas.
The three of them lay together on the beach, watching the three women laughing and playing in the sea in the distance.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect you to suddenly have a holiday, and you made a special trip to Melbourne to see me." Ray was a little emotional.
Since X3's loss to NIP in the CPL, who remembers him Ray, and who cares about his movements?
People are always desperate for the care of others when they are helpless and hopeless, but fortunately, Chris, an old friend, still remembers him.
Friends, always old good.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to hide here and enjoy the two-person world with Eliqi." Chris said.
Ray smiled, a smile that looked a little bitter.
He wanted to say that I didn't want to hide here, but no team wanted me right now, so I had to come back here.
He thought so in his heart, but he didn't say a word.
Lu Fei looked at the change in his face and expression, and said meaningfully: "The world of two people is certainly very pleasant and beautiful, but a person's heart is filled with a broader world, because only by flying freely in that world can you feel true happiness." β
Ray looked at Lu Fei in surprise again.
Lu Fei smiled: "Have you ever thought about finding a new world again?" β
Ray couldn't help but give Lu Fei a thumbs up: "You're amazing, no wonder you saw everything in the MDK vs. coL game." β
Then he sighed again: "X3 was founded by me, and I also took it all the way from the O-League to the I-League, I really didn't expect Morgan to disband it and change its name to 3D." β
"That's why you left?" Chris asked, but he regretted it.
Ray left X3, and the outside media had already revealed the process.
The huge shadow of being frustrated by NIP hung over him, and this psychological shadow seriously affected his performance, so X3 will lose several games in a row in the new season, and he actually has such a bad situation of "not killing a person in ten steps", even Miller said: If he can return to the top 50% of the CPL game, we in 3D will definitely consider reactivating him.
In fact, this sentence is equivalent to removing Ray from the list of 3D giants.
This is also the cruel fact of commercial games, if you can't do it, you can't play, even if you used to be a generation of guns, as long as you can't recover for a long time, the club will treat you as a waste.
As a result, Ray was sold by 3D to an unknown team in the M League at a very low price.
This is undoubtedly a bigger mental blow to Ray, who has never suffered a major setback, and perhaps only a Chinese player can withstand such a blow, but can an American genius have such a strong psychological endurance?
Flowers need to be cared for by gardeners, but they should never bloom in beautiful and bright colors without experiencing wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
"It's really my fault, if that great battle of the century, on that map at the train station, if it weren't for me not being in shape, we X3 wouldn't have lost to NIP, and we wouldn't have lived up to the expectations of all the fans." Ray muttered.
He still blames himself.
"You're wrong." Lu Fei said solemnly, "Even if you still have the state of not emptying the gun on Nuke at the train station, your X3 will still fail." β
"Huh? Why? Ray was stunned.
Lu Fei said word for word: "Your performance in that game was indeed very good, but have you noticed that you always perform amazingly in the front, and you always lose points inexplicably in the back, often leading to a big rout because of some small cooperation." β
Ray pondered, "That's true. β
Lu Fei said: "You don't lose in individual ability, you lose in strategy and tactics, because you rely on individual heroism, and NIP relies on more advanced teamwork tactics than you, you should understand that even if a person is strong, it is difficult to defeat tactical constraints." β
The expression on Ray's face changed, and he had to admit that Lu Fei's words made sense.
He also gradually understood why the silent and nameless MDK could sink the invincible coL.
"3D culls you, and I think it's both right and wrong." Lu Fei said.
"Why?"
Lu Fei took a sip of beer, looked into the distance and said: "They kicked you out of the club, proving that the current captain, he has accepted the lessons of the past, and knows how to consider the overall situation, he is responsible for the entire team, and now this 3D team is slowly maturing." β
"And what's wrong?" Chris couldn't help but ask.
Lu Fei said: "What's wrong is that these giants have not realized that a person, no matter how strong his ability is, he is always a person, as long as he is an individual, it is inevitable that there will be failures and underestimates, in fact, I have always felt that we should become more calm from the victory, rather than receiving dizzying praise in the victory, on the contrary, we have failed, we should learn from it, we can't judge the hero by a victory or defeat, as long as a person has confidence, we should give him a chance." β
Ray stared at Lu Fei for a long time before he spoke: "Lu, thank you, I'm so happy to know you as a friend, I think no matter who your friend is, it's a happy thing, because you really know how to understand each other's hearts." β
Lu Fei smiled: "Are you interested in coming to MDK, maybe you can make a comeback." β
Ray was stunned, then smiled wryly: "MDK is now the champion of this season in the I-League, can I come?" β
"Of course you can!" Lu Fei said firmly, "Because you're Ray!" β
Ray sighed: "I'm not the same person I'm still in X3 now, and even the M League squad won't want me, not to mention that I've decided not to play CS anymore." β
Chris was surprised: "What? Have you decided not to play CS anymore? You ......"
Lu Fei said thoughtfully: "That's it, why don't we have a heads-up." β
"Why heads-up?"
Lu Fei's face changed suddenly, and he said sharply: "I don't think you want to hear me call you a coward, right?" β
Ray's face also changed: "What do you mean by that?" β
Lu Fei said: "Are you willing to stay on this beach for the rest of your life?" Is it really as the media out there say, you are a coward who can only stay with women? β
Ray's face turned red, the most annoying word in his life was coward, he never expected Lu Fei to pop up this word.
Without saying a word, Ray suddenly stood up and walked away.
"Eidly, let's go back." Ray took Eliki's hand and walked back.
Eliki was surprised: "What's wrong with you?" Didn't you just say that it was still early? Why do you want to leave all of a sudden? I'm having fun with Alice? β
"Let's go!" Ray's expression was very ugly, "Don't be with these people. β
"What's wrong with you, dear? Such a bad face, hey, wait, you pinched my hand painfully......" Eliki couldn't help but be pulled away by Ray.
"If you're interested, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow at 12 noon in the Starbucks cafΓ© next door." Lu Fei shouted at the backs of the two.
"Will he really come?" Chris was a little uneasy.
"He'll come." Lu Fei's eyes flashed brightly, "If he doesn't come, he won't be Ray." β
