As a game that purely tested the player's reflexes and hand speed, the Gopher was indeed quite professional in this aspect.
It was a simple nine-grid game. It did not seem to be too complicated, but this game trial did not require too many complicated processes.
The gopher would randomly appear in the nine-grid tunnel.
The player would react on the control panel and hit the corresponding button to stun the gopher.
The eyes would receive the image, transmit it to the brain, and then send the command to the hands, where the fingers would hit the mouse.
As the difficulty of the game increased and the number and frequency of the gopher's appearance increased, the time spent on this entire process had to be shortened. At the beginning, the player might be able to make a relatively complete response, but towards the end … it was as if the player had skipped the middle two parts of the process. The moment the eyes saw the gopher, the movements of the hands had to be synchronized.
It was completely dependent on subconscious control.
This was exactly how League of Legends played. When you were in the middle of a team battle or in a lane, all sorts of unexpected things would happen. You wouldn't have any time to prepare. You could only react in the shortest amount of time possible.
As an ADC player, Tang Bingyao had always done this very well in ranked matches and competitions.
At this moment …
Standing in front of the gopher machine and facing this round of trial, the girl seemed to have finally regained the state and feel she had in Summoner's Rift.
As the game entered the fourth minute, the difficulty suddenly increased.
The girl's reaction was almost synchronized with the burst of hand speed!
She was not slow at all!
The crisp sound of keystrokes continued to ring out. The commotion even attracted the attention of some of the nearby customers in the coffee shop. They couldn't help but subconsciously look over at the girl who was standing in front of the gopher machine and engrossed in the game with some astonishment.
Standing beside the girl, the three legendary players of the previous generation couldn't help but be moved.
There was awe.
There was admiration.
Because just from the girl's actions in the first few seconds of the fourth minute of the game, one could already confirm one thing.
This level of difficulty had been steadily passed by the girl without the slightest bit of luck.
… …
"Now … it's a matter of endurance."
Number One narrowed his eyes and gave his evaluation.
Number Five nodded lightly. He looked at Tang Bingyao, who was sitting in front of the gopher machine, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"As for Tang Tang …"
"How long can he last?"
Coincidentally, the keyword "durability" was also mentioned here.
However, the concept of "durability" was different from the one Phoenix had mentioned to Lin Feng in Milton Stadium. The former's "durability" mainly reflected whether a professional esports player could maintain a stable condition and play a full set of "best-of-three" or even "best-of-five" matches without too much of a drop in skill level.
At this moment, the durability that Number One was talking about —
He was referring to something more specific.
It was also more targeted.
This was referring to … the amount of time that could be maintained in the state of extreme hand speed.
…
The Gopher Machine's hand speed trial game had two levels of difficulty before and after four minutes. The difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.
If it was said that before the four minute mark, a few outstanding professional players could rely on their strength and reaction speed to clear the difficulty level, and perhaps even skillfully and easily … But after the four minute mark, when the difficulty level skyrocketed to a heaven-defying level, even the strongest players would not be able to hold back in the slightest.
All of their potential and abilities would be completely squeezed out by the game in this insanely difficult mode.
They would give it their all, tighten their nerves, clench their teeth, and endure every second of the game as if it were a torment.
Even someone as strong as Bullet could see that in the first four minutes, the legendary North American player of the previous generation was still playing with one hand. His expression didn't change, and he even had the time to argue with Number One next to him.
However, after four minutes, even Bullet had to be extremely cautious. He went all out and could not think about holding back. He could only rely on his terrifying all-out state to suppress the rhythm of the game's difficulty and buy himself as much time as possible to stall for time and persevere.
Yes.
Anyone who reached this level of difficulty would be holding on by force.
It was just that a strong player like Bullet was relying on his own strength to resist the game's difficulty.
But for the vast majority of people …
They had to grit their teeth and use their stamina and energy to fight for every second of the game.
But this was actually another kind of test that appeared when the game reached this level of difficulty. The previous test was to test the upper limit of the player's hand speed. The current test was to see how long the player could persevere under the upper limit of their hand speed.
As Number One mentioned, Lin Feng lasted three minutes and forty seconds at this stage. According to the current time of the Gopher Machine, he lasted seven minutes and forty seconds.
Ah Mo, whose ID was "Silent Speech", lasted 20 seconds longer than a certain someone, barely managing to hold on for 8 minutes.
It was not inferior to Bullet's eight minutes and 01 seconds.
But of course, everyone knew that Bullet, who was just demonstrating, still had some strength left. As for the true limit of this North American legend, it was still unknown.
But that wasn't important.
Because the main character …
Was still the girl standing in front of the Gopher Machine.
…
Time was ticking away.
The crisp sound of the keys continued to ring out from the console. At this time, it could no longer be described as a musical piece. This was because the rhythm of the keyboard was like a storm, completely devoid of the calmness and elegance of a piano piece. The only thing that was left was the purest and most violent murderous aura.
Yes.
It was murderous.
The purest and most direct contest between human and machine!
Four minutes and five seconds.
Four minutes and ten seconds.
Four minutes and fifteen seconds.
After surviving for fifteen seconds in this new difficulty level, the hair on the girl's forehead was completely drenched in sweat. Countless gophers were popping their heads out of the burrow at an insane speed. It was too much to take in, so much so that one's eyes were starting to hurt.
If the first four minutes of difficulty gradually reduced the player's stamina, then from the beginning of the fifteen seconds, the girl's stamina consumption rate almost doubled. It was incomparably shocking.
But still, she persisted.
Even though his body was beginning to feel an uncontrollable exhaustion, and the fingers of his right hand on the control panel were already aching so much that they were about to lose control.
But she still continued to operate.
She still struggled to maintain her extreme hand speed. Her eyes were wide open, unwilling to let go of any target that appeared in the nine-grid burrow.
At some point, Number One had come to Bullet's side.
"How was your other disciple's result?"
Bullet was silent for a moment, then slowly answered:
"Six minutes and eight seconds."
