Chapter 125: This Wave of Keyboard and Mouse Operations

Young Master Chen and his crew had only been playing Counter-Strike for a single day. Though their game characters possessed an innate grasp of firearms that allowed them to learn the ropes of shooting, playing amongst themselves was one thing—after all, they were all equally clueless. Yet, who could have foreseen that on this very day, gripped by a sudden whim, Young Master Chen would decide to play with outsiders? Spotting a room without a password, he casually joined.

The ensuing match could only be described as an utter labyrinth of confusion.

They could not comprehend the map, could not tell friend from foe, could not aim at distant targets, and were spun into sheer dizziness by opponents at close range; having died over a dozen times now, they had not even managed to graze a single hair on their enemies.

Thus, the moment Fang Qi shouted out a tactic, it was as though a drowning man had grasped a lifesaving straw, and Young Master Chen hurriedly followed along; seeing a crowd of his own people gathering around him, his confidence swelled considerably.

"This spiritual artifact actually requires no spiritual energy whatsoever to drive it?" Xue Daolv curiously fiddled with the submachine gun in his hands, buried in a headlong run alongside Fang Qi and the others, while asking Su Tianji, "Junior Sister, what is the situation now? Are we going to test the power of this spiritual artifact?"

It turned out the Sect Master Senior Brother himself had been dragged out before even grasping the situation, leaving Su Tianji looking thoroughly vexed: "Just follow me and fight in a moment, I guarantee I will lead you to victory. Pay no mind to this kid."

On the Dust 2 map, the clash between Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists could be split into three routes; going straight to the left of the Terrorists led to the B Site grand platform. The significance of a tactic like 'rush B' was to charge the B Site at maximum speed, simple and brutal, catching the opponent entirely off guard, and moreover, it transcended language barriers, remaining perfectly clear to novices and veterans alike.

At this moment, Fang Qi was just leading his people through the upper tunnels outside B Site; simultaneously, Nalan Hongwu had also just arrived with his team outside the other door of B Site, perpendicular to Fang Qi and his group, entering to set up defenses.

"In a moment, when we go out the door, turn right and spray down anyone you see." At this juncture, Fang Qi felt his mind exceptionally clear; even with mere keyboard and mouse controls, every single step was precisely executed, turning out even better than his usual play!

He pressed the spacebar, and in the instant of his forward leap, he typed out a line of text, entirely without delaying his movements.

"I can command like that too," Su Tianji said testily from behind.

What was there to be so proud of in that kind of commanding?

Fang Qi said nothing; at this point, let alone seeing anyone, not even footsteps could be heard yet, and immediately afterward, she watched Fang Qi casually hurl a flashbang. The flashbang bounced first off the left wall, then deflected to the right, landing just outside the long, tunnel-like doorway.

It perfectly utilized the wall to block the blinding light, ensuring that even though everyone was rushing forward, not a single ally would be flashed.

Nalan Hongwu, who was relatively close to the doorway, had only just caught the sound of footsteps and hurriedly shouted in the team channel: "Someone is coming."

Before the words could fully leave his mouth, a flashbang came bouncing out from the pitch-black doorway!

Not good!

Nalan Hongwu turned his back almost instinctively!

Following Nalan Hongwu's shout, the crowd who had just swung their muzzles around to calmly set up defenses while aiming at the doorway were left with: "!!!???"

Their screens went completely white on the spot!

They nearly cursed aloud in their hearts; who commands like this?!

Nalan Hongwu had only just turned his head to evade the brunt of the flash, and while his vision was still somewhat blurred, a massive cloud of smoke suddenly erupted from the mouth of the doorway!

Almost at the exact same time, covered by the smoke grenade, eight terrorists wielding submachine guns rushed in together!

On the big screen, one could see the eight terrorists facing three or four scattered counter-terrorists who had not even found cover yet, opening fire all at once!

Da-da-da-da-da-da!

They were caught completely unprepared!

Li Haoran's screen was entirely white; deceased.

An Huwei had just recovered a shred of vision; deceased.

Ouyang Zhen had finally managed to find cover, only to see a drift of smoke before his eyes as a figure flanked around, gunfire ringing out; deceased.

Nalan Hongwu had the fastest reflexes, hurriedly performing a roll to hide behind a nearby crate, only to look and find half his health gone!

Nalan Mingxue, holding a sniper rifle, had just jumped onto the B Site window to find a good sniping position, her small head peeking out, when a stream of bullets swept right across: "..."

Lanyan, whose position was further back, had only just entered through the double doors at this moment, exposing half her body.

She saw four or five submachine guns swing their muzzles over.

Da-da-da-da-da-da!

"..." Retreating to take a look at her health, she saw only a bright red number "8".

Several people who had not yet entered the doors cried: "What happened? What is the situation?!"

Bu Lei, who was holding another sniper rifle outside to watch mid doors, exclaimed: "How did so many people suddenly die?!"

They clearly had not yet figured out what the current situation was.

At this moment, all the spectating players watching the live stream were left with: "..."

"What kind of tactic is this?"

"What tactic could there be? Is it not just rushing together?"

"Rushing together is this strong?"

"Because the Boss's timing and placement of that flash and smoke were just too good!"

"Boss, are you certain this is being played with a keyboard and mouse?!"

"He must have changed the control scheme just now, right?"

"That stream of bullets that sprayed down the sniper just now, its precision was invincible! He definitely changed the control scheme."

Quite a few people could still tell that although this wave was executed through the combined firepower of eight people, the key lay entirely in the timing and positioning of the flashbang and smoke grenade.

Blinding the opponents in the split second before the clash, and then utilizing the dual cover of the smoke and flash, the eight of them directly advanced in a single wave!

To still grasp it so precisely using a keyboard and mouse?! It had to be fake, right!?

"You can come over and take a look, the Boss has been using keyboard and mouse controls the entire time." Just at this moment, another bullet comment was seen appearing on the big screens of both shops.

"How is that possible! A keyboard and mouse are so difficult to operate!"

"Using a keyboard and mouse to walk, I believe, but using a keyboard and mouse to quickly aim at a moving target? Are you joking?"

"I, the Gun God of Lingyun, am the first to disbelieve!"

"I, the Sniper God of Jiuhua, am the second to disbelieve!"

"..." The bullet comments instantly erupted like an exploding pot; moving forward, backward, left, and right with the keyboard was fine, but what were you supposed to do with the mouse? One had to realize the mouse moved on a horizontal surface on the desk, whereas the screen was a vertical plane!

"If you don't believe it, come to the old shop and see for yourselves, PC number 23."

Putting away his communication jade, Guo Xiong, as a veteran player of Resident Evil and a disciple of the Heaven House, possessed no small amount of strength; always highly confident in his own marksmanship, he stood behind to watch Fang Qi's play in person and was already utterly dumbfounded!

A keyboard and mouse could actually play this game like this?!

There was even such an operation?!

Meanwhile, inside the game at this moment.

Nalan Hongwu was the only one left inside the B Site; tossing a flashbang outward, he still wanted to retreat, but the moment it left his hand, he saw five or six HE grenades come rolling over!

Furthermore, the throwing accuracy was not particularly precise, and in no time, the ground was littered with grenades! There was nowhere to hide!

These players, lacking technique and coordination, still knew the basic operations.

Nalan Hongwu: "..."

Watching his vision fly all the way up into the sky, he nearly spat a mouthful of old blood onto the screen!

Nalan Mingxue threw another flashbang, still wanting to snipe one dead, but the moment her head peeked out of the B Site window and her vision had just entered the sniper scope, a figure suddenly surged from the blind spot of the wall beside the window, delivering a heavy knife strike!

From the perspective of her corpse, she could only see a character looking strikingly like Fang Qi holding a knife, swaying left and right, left and right in front of her.

"..."

Nalan Mingxue's face turned dark, and she nearly smashed her keyboard!

"Hahahahaha, the Boss is so smug!"

"It really is a keyboard and mouse setup, holy shit! So precise!" a spectator who had just wandered over from the shop opposite exclaimed, his face a picture of utter disbelief.

"That's what you get for trying to snipe—one knife right through you!"

Behind him, the crowd of onlookers burst into collective laughter on the spot.
