Before the game started, the Nightmare difficulty record of the gopher machine in the coffee shop could be seen in the upper left corner of the screen.
The previous best record on this gopher machine was 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
Even though the record was most likely achieved with both hands, considering the difficulty of the Nightmare mode, it was still quite a feat. At the very least, it wasn't something an average person could achieve with both hands.
But now.
The new record was out.
8 minutes and 01 seconds.
What's more, it was achieved with only one hand.
It was so powerful that it made people's hair stand on end.
At the very least, Tang Bingyao regained her composure. Her face was flushed with excitement as she clapped her hands to express her admiration for Bullet.
Normally, the girl would not have such admiration for anyone. Apart from a certain someone, everyone else was just so-so in her eyes. Especially in the field of hand speed, which she was extremely good at.
But this time … it was an exception.
When she first met Bullet in front of the coffee shop, she was scared off by this legendary North American player and didn't dare to talk to him. But now, Bullet had completely "captured" her heart with his one-handed hand speed and record-breaking 8 minutes and 01 seconds.
At this moment, Tang Bingyao's eyes couldn't help but sparkle with excitement.
She had never seen such a pure hand speed from Lin Feng's hands.
Four minutes!
The horrifying difficulty level at the end of the game … Senior Bullet took a solid four minutes to complete the difficult checkpoint perfectly.
As expected.
Worthy of being an existence that even senior number one and big sister Xiao Wu held in such high esteem.
His hand speed was so fast that it made her feel excited.
However, compared to the girl who was clapping and cheering like a little fan, Number One seemed to be a little disapproving. He even raised his eyebrows.
"Huh? That's it?"
"It's not even the limit yet, and you're already giving up? What's wrong? You can't take it anymore? Are you afraid you'll make a fool of yourself?"
There was a hint of mockery in his tone.
After completing a full eight minutes of high-intensity single-handed maneuvering, even Bullet couldn't help but feel physically exhausted. He let out a sigh of relief and adjusted his condition. He coldly glanced at No. 1.
"I'm just giving a simple demonstration."
"If you're interested, why don't you show us what you can do?"
Two stiff sentences were thrown over, and the flames of war were about to be ignited. However, Number One just shrugged and said, "That's right.
"Forget it."
"I'm not as stubborn as you. Besides, I'm not the main character today."
"Good that you know." Bullet coldly replied. He then turned to look at Tang Bingyao. His expression softened a little. "That's basically the difficulty. Do you understand now?"
Tang Bingyao hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Bullet nodded slightly. "The maximum difficulty of this machine should be that it will not change after eight minutes. If a qualified professional player were to operate it with one hand … after spending some time to familiarize themselves with it, they would need to be able to reach at least four minutes. Those who are slightly better would be able to last for four to six minutes. Those who are able to last for seven to eight minutes … would be considered excellent."
This was the basic concept of establishing a standard for Tang Bingyao's performance.
To put it bluntly, three to four minutes was considered as one level of difficulty, and more than four minutes was another level of difficulty. According to Bullet, a "qualified" professional esports player had to at least survive the first level of difficulty, and then fall to the second level of difficulty.
But in reality, this standard was already very scary. Bullet's requirements were a little more demanding, but for a normal pro player, it was already good enough if they could last three minutes.
As for more than four minutes, they could even last until the seventh or eighth minute.
That was pretty much what Bullet had achieved with one hand.
According to Number One, Lin Feng and Silent Speech were also able to do this. Even with Bullet's harsh requirements, they were still able to reach the "excellent" level.
To be able to receive Bullet's "excellent" rating …
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of hand speed alone, they might have already reached the level of the Yonkō (Four Emperors).
After a few words of explanation, Bullet's gaze fell on Tang Bingyao again.
"Now that you understand.
Let's give it a try. "
Tang Bingyao was stunned. She finally realized that she was the protagonist of today's match.
She had been so engrossed in watching Bullet's hand speed that she had almost forgotten about this … At this moment, the girl could not help but feel a little nervous. However, she knew that it was already too late. She could not disappoint the hopes and expectations of her seniors, so she pursed her lips and nodded.
Then, she walked up to the gopher machine that Bullet had made way for.
Tang Bingyao looked at the nine-grid pattern on the screen and the cute little gopher poking its head out of the hole in the middle. She took a deep breath.
She reached out her hand and pressed the Nightmare mode option.
It was accompanied by the cheerful music.
The three options on the screen disappeared and were replaced by the time and countdown bar at the top right corner of the screen.
"Game Start!"
… …
Two minutes later.
The word "Game Over" appeared on the screen of the gopher machine. The game was over. The time displayed at the top of the screen stopped at 2 minutes and 06 seconds.
Tang Bingyao stood in front of the screen in a daze.
Number One and Number Five couldn't help but shake their heads with a regretful look on their faces.
This …
She was too nervous.
From the very beginning, it was obvious that the girl, who was trying out this hamster game for the first time, wasn't very calm. She was nervous, and even though it was only the first minute of difficulty, she still wasn't used to the rhythm of the game. Just from the sound of her typing, it was obvious that she wasn't smooth enough. Not to mention, it was obvious that she was a little flustered.
She managed to hold on for about two minutes. The new difficulty increased, and the frequency of the gopher's appearance increased. The number of gopher that appeared at the same time also increased to two. This sudden change in difficulty caught the girl off guard. She only lasted for three to five seconds before she made a mistake and missed a gopher, causing the game to end hastily.
At this moment, Tang Bingyao's head was almost buried in her chest.
"I'm … sorry …"
Her tone was filled with shame and self-blame.
According to Bullet, her current score wasn't even enough to pass the game. She was still half way from the standard.
Moreover, he had also embarrassed Senior Number One and Sister Xiao Wu.
However, Bullet's expression didn't change in the slightest. He just looked at her right hand on the control panel and said, "It's okay.
It's okay. "
"Try again."
Bullet's tone was calm and indifferent.
But …
Vaguely, there seemed to be some unusual fluctuations.
