A week later.

The Great Empire.

Heathrow Airport.

Qin Feng pulled his suitcase and walked out of the airport with some emotion with the flow of people.

Walking outside the terminal, Qin Feng did not hesitate, got into the taxi directly, and informed the driver of the scheduled distance in English that he was not familiar with.

……

Qin Feng's second uncle's home is a villa located on the outskirts of the city, with two floors and a lawn planted with trees at the door, which looks quite warm.

After entering the door, the second uncle Qin Long and the second aunt had just finished cooking dinner and looked at Qin Feng with a smile.

"Xiaofeng, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you've grown so big."

"Second Uncle almost can't recognize you."

"When you were young, you still relied on your second uncle to play every day."

As soon as he put his luggage aside, Qin Feng directly ushered in a bear hug from his second uncle.

"Xiaofeng hasn't eaten yet, has he?"

"Just to give you a glimpse of my craft."

The second aunt is a Jiangnan woman over forty years old, who looks gentle and virtuous, and it seems that the years have not left any traces on her face.

After eating.

Qin Feng's room had already been vacated and cleaned up.

A brand new desktop computer is quietly placed on a table in the middle of the room.

"Xiaofeng, your parents mentioned it to us, so we specially prepared a new computer for you."

"I heard that it's still a 240HZ display."

"We've also taken over the router and network cable for you."

"It's just that the computer has just been installed, and you still have to download what you need."

"You don't need your help this week, you have to settle in."

"You've been tossing for a day today, go to bed early."

As soon as he accompanied Qin Feng into the room, the second aunt said intimately.

"Well, thank you, second uncle and second aunt."

After turning on the computer and starting to download CSGO, Qin Feng looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

He thought of a CSGO pro player.

A No. 1 sniper with a band who has traveled to Eps, Reg, BIG, Chaos, and MR.

Smooya。

I heard that he now fries at McDonald's every day.

……

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, the warm sunlight shone in through the gaps in the curtains, making Qin Feng a little dazed.

After a short wash, I found that the second uncle and aunt had already gone out.

All he was left was a breakfast and a note.

"I'll get you ready sooner."

"If it's cold, remember to warm it in the microwave."

Qin Feng couldn't help but smile in surprise.

After hastily eating the bacon and bread on the table, Qin Feng went directly back to his room, opened the Faceit platform, and registered Aether as the nickname of the Faceit platform.

He didn't want to waste a second.

If you want to play professionally abroad, the easiest way is to kill all kinds of professional players in FPL.

The best example of this is Ropz.

Qin Feng glanced at the system's optional tasks for today again.

[Kill 30 enemies with a Bird Sniper Headshot.] 】

[Kill 30 enemies with a Desert Eagle headshot.] 】

Qin Feng did not have any impatience with the task of the system.

For one, the daily optional tasks will bring him three or more free attribute points.

Second, the system's missions are mostly reasonable, and there are no strange firearms like R8 or Negev.

In this way, Qin Feng started a long daily quest journey from Faceit level 3.

……

Another month passed, in a hurry.

Qin Feng's attribute points obtained from daily missions have reached as many as 100 points.

Over time, Qin Feng's current attribute panel is completely new compared to a month ago!

【Qin Feng】

[Class ID: Aether]

[Age: 19]

[Team: None]

[Marksmanship: 90(S)]

[Body: 84 (A+)]

[Consciousness: 95 (SS+)]

[Appearance: Data overflow]

[Perks: Sniper Rifle Mastery (A), Pistol Mastery (B)]

【Skill: Killing Intent Perception】

[Today's optional mission: Kill 8,000 bots with headshots, and use AWP to complete one piercing two at a time.] 】

In a month's time, Qin Feng's attribute value has reached a very terrifying level through daily tasks.

According to the system, the marksmanship of the S-level already has the level of a first-line gun man.

Although it may not be as good as Spinx, b1t and other humanoid plug-ins.

But the second- and third-tier teams that beat the European fish ponds are still more than enough.

The only fly in the ointment is that after 90 marksmanship points, Qin Feng can no longer increase his marksmanship attribute through free attribute points.

In order to continue to add marksmanship attributes using free attribute points, Qin Feng must earn fantasy points in tournaments such as IEM, PGL, ESL, etc.

The better Qin Feng's performance in the competition, the higher the Dream Points he obtained.

Only by using the corresponding fantasy points can you unlock the upper limit of the major attribute values.

And on this day, when Qin Feng was about to continue to row alone, he unexpectedly saw his Steam friend application.

"Again?"

Under normal circumstances, Qin Feng directly ignores friend applications when he encounters them.

Friend applications that Steam doesn't know are most likely scammers.

API hijacking, please add our team leader...... There are countless scams like this.

It's just that he was just about to block the application, but he accidentally found the applicant's avatar, which was the team logo of a certain team.

"Is it because I recently made it to FPL in FPL-C?"

Frowning, Qin Feng still passed the friend application.

Soon, Steam's chat window flickered.

"Hello Aether, I'm Samuelsson, the coach of Team Fnatic, do you have any ideas for playing professionally?"

Fnatic？

Although he expected that after he entered the FPL, there might be tryout invitations for some professional teams, Qin Feng never thought that the team that invited him would be Fnatic, who was about to participate in the European RMR qualifiers.

Didn't they just sign the god of medicine poizon to replace the newcomer Banjo?

The ESL ONE tournament just ended, and although Fnatic lost 0-2 to Ence, he shouldn't be asked for a tryout, right?

Even Zywoo, who was once extremely dazzling, still played for two years in the French third-tier team aAa.

Although he was a little hesitant, Qin Feng was still unwilling to give up the opportunity in front of him.

You must know that the 2022 Antwerp European RMR pre-selection is about to start, and if he misses the invitation in front of him, he may have to be like the SCCC, and he will be a commentator for a few months first.

"I do, but my English may not be very good." Qin Feng quickly replied to the Steam friend in front of him.

On the other side, Fnatic's coach Samuelsson looked at the chat box in front of him and smiled helplessly.

Even if the roster of players has not yet been submitted to the tournament, there are only ten days left before the RMR competition.

But Peppzor is too vegetable.

"Aether, you should be the same team member who auditioned for 1V5 at the Asian Major before, right?"

"You're in Europe?"

Samuelsson's eyes lit up as he watched Qin Feng's reply.

In fact, before contacting Qin Feng, he had already seen the videos of hundreds of players, and Qin Feng's videos were the most peculiar.

The first thing he watched was the video of Qin Feng in the Asian Major qualifiers.

Samuelsson's first reaction was disbelief.

If it's not open, it's definitely a genius boy comparable to Zywoo and s1mple.

He then soon discovers that Faceit has an extra sniper named Aether.

Its record is even more indiscriminately killed all the way from FPL-C to FPL.

Looking through the footage of the last few games, Samuelsson is even sure that Faceit's Aether is the same Aether that he raced at the Asian Major.

"Yes, I'm in Europe."

"The CS environment in China is not good, and I came to Europe in the hope of a better development environment." Qin Feng said matter-of-factly.

After all, if you continue to have no team, I'm afraid you can only go to McDonald's french fries with Smooya.

"It's not a big deal to communicate in words."

"As long as your marksmanship is accurate, none of this is a problem."

"Back then, Zywoo would only talk about I don't know, and he wasn't just killing in FPL?"

"What's more, mezii met you in FPL before, and said that your English level is enough to communicate normally."

"But the main sniper in the team is still Poizon, and you can only serve as a secondary sniper in the team."

"And the maximum contract that can be given to you now is only 250 euros a week."

"After the Major audition, a new contract will be signed based on your performance."

"How?"

Fnatic base, Samuelsson said with some hesitation.

To be honest, for an established team like Fnatic, a weekly salary of 250 euros is simply a way to pass the price.

But it will be the RMR pre-selection soon, and if Qin Feng's performance is not good, the boss of the team will most likely kick Qin Feng directly.

In fact, the team has already taken a fancy to several members of the small flame.

If it weren't for the fact that the Major was approaching and Xiao Huo was only willing to pack and sell players, how could Fnatic now find Qin Feng, who could be said to have no experience in any major tournaments?

Samuelsson wanted to take a gamble.

There have been too many talented teenagers on the international stage lately.

What if the bet is right?

Thinking like this, he saw Qin Feng's reply.

"No problem, you can."

"When can I go to Fnatic's training base?"

Samuelsson's heart was actually tangled.

The god of medicine poizon joined, and the current lineup may be able to make it to the Major even with Peppzor.

Is it really a good choice to replace?

However, since Qin Feng had already been contacted, Samuelsson naturally did not intend to regret it.

"Okay, what size are you wearing? We will make you a Fnatic uniform. ”

"As for the Major qualifiers in a few days, you can take a random team uniform and wear it first."

"There are two people in our team, and the current base is in the country, so you'd better come to the base for a trial as soon as possible."

"And props or something, we'll have to practice props again after you come."

After saying a lot, Samuelsson also felt a bit of a headache.

The run-in time of about ten days is still too short.

While CSGO tournaments have a tradition of winning the championship as a substitute, it still requires the players and teams to be on their own.

Samuelsson was pondering when he saw his Steam chat flash again.

"No problem, I'm in the country now."

"If it's a base, I'll be able to go there in the afternoon."

……

Time came to the afternoon.

“Aether？” Samuelsson looked at the handsome young man in front of him and asked with some curiosity.

"Yes, it's me." Qin Feng replied in English that he was not proficient in.

Samuelsson gave Qin Feng a warm hug.

"It just so happens that the team is here this afternoon, and I can introduce you to them."

"Then there's a training match at 5 p.m., and if it's okay, we'll sign the contract."

"You should have your own mouse and keyboard with you."

"If it's okay, let's get acquainted with the environment of the Fnatic training room first?"

"Okay."

Qin Feng looked at the Fnatic base in front of him, a little excited, and took a deep breath.

Then he stepped through the door of the club's base with a determined face.

It stands to reason that 3 p.m. should be the team's training time.

But today, the club's training room was surprisingly quiet.

They are all waiting for the arrival of new members of the team.

Soon, they saw that Samuelsson was leading a Chinese teenager to introduce the team's training room in English.

After seeing that mezii, poizon, ALEX, and KRIMZ were all in the training room, he directly pulled Qin Feng into the training room with a smile on his face.

"I've always believed that the club can only get better if it goes international."

"Peppzor's departure does not mean the fall of the team, but rather a new beginning."

"This is the Aether I mentioned to you earlier."

"mezii, you must have met FPL before."

"Aether's five kills before were also made into highlights, which should be one of the most watched videos in the YouTube CSGO area recently."

The applause rang out sparsely.

Although in the eyes of most people, the representative of Huaguo CS is jewelry and glory despite defeat, mezii and others are still clear about some of Qin Feng's strength.

They had watched the videos of Qin Feng's Major and the recent FPL, and felt that the teenager in front of them was still more than a star and a half stronger than Peppzor.

Samuelsson continued to pull Qin Feng and enthusiastically introduced each player.

"This is Poizon, the sniper in the team."

"THIS IS ALEX, THE COMMANDER OF THE TEAM."

"This is mezii, a fellow ALEX countryman."

"This is KRIMZ, and he's the veteran of the team."

Qin Feng nodded lightly: "Got it, coach." ”

Although these members of Fnatic are not star players at the moment, at least, they are all battle-hardened veterans.

Qin Feng didn't know these people.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Samuelsson, Qin Feng put everything in place.

The time also came to 4:45.

There are 15 minutes left until the team's training match.

"Wind, there's 15 minutes left for our training match."

"The opponent in the training match is ITB (Into the Breach)."

"It's not a strong team, but it's enough for us to run in."

"As long as you don't have too much of a problem in the training matches, then you'll be with us at the Major." ALEX EXPLAINED WITH A SMILE.

Qin Feng nodded and looked at the steel helmet-like logo of the opposite team in the platform.

Smooya, the French fries sniper, now happens to be an ITB sniper.

After a while, all five members of the ITB joined the room.

Qin Feng looked at the IDs on the other side.

ITB.smooya

ITB. Thomas

ITB. Adam9130

ITB. Cypher

ITB.dobbo

The map of the game is in Inferno.

【Ding! Participate in the International Team Training Tournament for the first time and earn 100 Dream Points. 】

[Persistence and Effort 2.0 system upgrade to Persistence and Effort 3.0]

[New points lottery function (10 consecutive draws 20% OFF)]

[Added the function of unlocking the upper limit of attribute points]

PS: Regarding which team to join, I went through all the staffing of the HLTV top 100 teams before the Major.

Of the international columns that communicate in English in the European team, the only one the protagonist is most likely to join, Fnatic.

However, it was only the starting point for the Major (laughs).

After the Major, there is a high probability that the protagonist will leave the team.

Just the sauce!
