Chapter 8: The Halo Effect
"What's wrong?" Wen Jie stopped his hand and turned his head to ask, "What's the situation?" Who will win this round? β
Situ Nan didn't answer, the game was still going on, although he lost for a while, but looking at the advantage that the fighter showed in this map when Lan played against the Golden Retriever Lion King before, there were still many people who bet on Liutao's side. Situ Nan, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, just dragged Wen Jie, who wanted to get back to his roots, and stared at Lu Pingchuan's main perspective on the big screen without blinking-when he saw that Liu Tao was completely imitating the snake way of rolling and running in the blue vs. golden lion king, he couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "...... It's over! β
The distance between the characters in God's perspective on the map is getting closer, but Blue, who is ambushed near the landing site, never shoots. Without the gunfire indication, plus the cover of the night and the obstruction of obstacles, Lu Pingchuan is now completely unable to judge the position of the opponent by identifying the infrared sight. Indeed, the reason he chose such a map was that he desperately needed a victory to cement the confidence and prestige he had built up so hard. After witnessing Jiang Lan's operation just now, he thought that he had the ability to replicate the same reversal to balance the crumbling trust between himself and everyone outside the arena at this moment.
However, after actually landing on the map of Poplar Forest, he felt that he was a little reckless and naΓ―ve - for the tactics he imitated, the opponent would naturally be prepared, if Lan did not shoot, even if he had the advantage of striking at close range, the fighter could not determine the opponent's position and rashly deceived himself, he would still be a fish under the nose of the sniper.
Although he thought of this, Lu Pingchuan had no choice but to try his best to zigzag forward against the trunk and the ground. Finally, the moment he walked behind a thick poplar tree, a gunshot rang out.
The bullet almost grazed Liutao's ear and hit the trunk of a tree behind him. The simulator immediately calculated a crater on the model, which was the size of a bowl. It seems that under such a violent wind interference, even Jiang Lan can't aim with a single shot.
Startled by the sound of gunshots, Lu Pingchuan manipulated Liutao to roll into the sand pit on the side, but by the sound of the shooting and the location of the crater, he had a rough judgment of the direction of the shot. Lu Pingchuan had some confidence in his heart, he turned his head from the perspective of the character, and the skills of Zhonglan in the previous game were the same, taking retreat as advance - after all, it was a simulation game, and walking backwards did not affect the character's movement speed.
This is not an overkill, in the night map, the laser point of the infrared sight is also conspicuous, so if the opponent is aiming at the infrared sight in Liutao's hand, the distance between the front sight and the actual target will always be one position worse.
This is just a small trick, although in the last game, Lu Pingchuan was indeed worthy of such an inconspicuous trick as Jiang Lan, but it does not mean that with his level, he could not figure out the mystery after the game, and turned it into his own - the gun rang out again, and sure enough, it shot at a position behind the sight. Lu Pingchuan glanced at the time displayed on the screen of the simulation module: 3.5 seconds, which is the timeline required for the opponent to re-aim.
After confirming this key information, Lu Pingchuan was more confident. Liutao swooped out of his hideout, and rushed at full speed to the next concealment in a safe zone of 3.5 seconds - but before he could run a few rifles, this time not one, but three bullets in a row! After the gunshot, Liutao's perspective window darkened again, and the bright red "win" swiped the screen again and again, and the winner left in the map never changed.
"...... It's really ......" Situ Nan clenched his fists in annoyance, he now regretted that he didn't explain the irreproducibility of this tactic to Lu Pingchuan from a sniper's perspective before the start: it is very easy for a mature sniper to fake his aiming time to design an opponent.
In the simulation cabin, Lu Pingchuan fell into a long silence, and at this time, he suddenly remembered Situ Nannan's evaluation when he fought against the Golden Lion King:
ββ¦β¦ This trick is only for those stunned young people who are new to sniping will be led by the nose, rookies are rookies, and the yellow-haired boy is going to SB again. β
And now, the rookie is him, and SB is also him.
I have to admit that in the process of selecting the map in the second game, he has made a fatal mistake because of his eagerness to win; And after swiping into the map, knowing that the other party will be prepared, he still thinks that he can rely on those small means to treat the other side in his own way...... However, they simply forgot that these small tricks themselves were shown by the opponent and fed to themselves.
The so-called feeding move, the other party must have that kind of self-confidence that can be restrained in turn - under the interference of night and wind, Lan really can't kill with one shot, but it doesn't prevent him from tricking himself by falsifying the aiming time to lure himself into being fooled, and through the tactic of firing three parallel bullets in a row to break the back position, and directly send himself out.
said that it was a competition, but at this time, I am afraid that in the eyes of others, these two games are still as high as a coaching game. On the display screen in the simulation cabin, the box of "whether to fight again" has been lit up for a long time, but Lu Pingchuan has never made up his mind to choose either of the two options - after ten days in the training camp, he finally felt the frustration that he was all too familiar with as a mediocre talent.
A few seconds later, Blue's choice took a breath of relief: he was out of the game. Lu Pingchuan forced his composure, opened the simulation hatch, and walked over to Jiang Lan.
"It's a very exciting game, and I look forward to competing with you again in the official closed beta." Lu Pingchuan squeezed out a smiling face that was not good-looking, and stretched out his hand towards Jiang Lan.
"At your level, it's better to hope that you will be alive by then." Jiang Lan passed by Lu Pingchuan without looking back, and his tone was as calm and cruel as ever.
"Father, is it really good to do this?" In a room in the training camp that was decorated in a completely different style from her surroundings, Elise was taking the champagne from the middle-aged man across from her and said.
"It could be a big blow for him now; But for the whole 'game', it will be a good start. The man with silver hair as bright as her shook the slender wine glass in his hand, and the smile on his lips became even worse, "Don't forget the original purpose of our 'game'. β
"I still can't understand what you and the gentlemen are thinking." Elise took a sip of the champagne in her hand, seemingly dissatisfied with the effect of the desert temperature on the taste of the wine, "After all, such a transformation plan is too far-fetched - he is the most mediocre person I have ever met, with mediocre education, mediocre IQ, and mediocre resume...... I can barely see any sparkle in him, and you, still insisting on shaping him into that 'blue' opponent? β
"Have you ever heard of the 'halo effect'?" The silver-haired man did not directly answer his daughter's question, "Belonging to any individual in the collective, from the moment you give it a special meaning, it will have a particularity that distinguishes it from the original collective, and the higher the recognition of this meaning, the more special it will be...... I like a Zen saying in this oriental country: 'The Buddha is born with its own mud', and it is the Buddha that is the mud is determined by your heart. β
"But I don't think he's enough to be a pawn against Blue." Elise frowned a little gloomily, "It's like we can't really make him work for us." β
"We don't need it, dear." The father reached out and rubbed his daughter's beautiful eyebrows, as if taking away the worrying expression from her eyebrows, "All we need to do is to use every card in our hand well, not to study the size and suit of the cards...... After all, since the second generation of closed beta, we have enabled the gameplay of 'Double Kings', and each generation has given us a good surprise...... Enjoy the pleasure of the game, which is what we need to focus on at the moment. β
"You're saying," Elise said, holding up her glass and smiling in relief, "for pleasure." β
"For pleasure!" The two wine glasses tapped lightly, and the delicate aroma of champagne gradually diffused in this corner of the desert.
