Sometimes, the difference in talent was not something that could be made up for in a short period of time.
Although Ceng Rui knew that his hand speed was his biggest weakness, he had heard that Tang Bingyao's first two attempts on the Gopher Machine were able to get a record of six to seven minutes. Ceng Rui was looking forward to it.
However, after trying more than a dozen rounds of Nightmare Mode, his best time was only 3 minutes and 45 seconds, so he finally gave up.
This level of difficulty was too abnormal.
He didn't even dare to imagine that the difficulty of this damned game would double after four minutes. Was that really something that could be played by humans?
In the end, Ceng Rui returned the Mini Gopher to Tang Bingyao and asked, "You lasted three to four minutes in the first round?"
The girl nodded.
Ceng Rui sighed helplessly and accepted the reality. But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he had almost reached the four-minute mark after trying a dozen rounds. If he worked harder, he should not be too far behind his companions …
However, this self-consolation only worked for less than five seconds.
After a slight hesitation, Tang Bingyao added in a low voice,
"But … Ah Zeng, you used both hands just now."
Hmm?
Ceng Rui was stunned. Before he could come back to his senses, he heard the girl reveal the cruel truth of reality, as if she could not bear to see it.
"Before … I fought with one hand."
Ceng Rui: "…"
Lin Feng glanced at his companion's lifeless expression and patted him on the shoulder. "Now you know how sick this damn game is. Normal people can't handle it at all."
It was rare for Ceng Rui to agree with someone's words so strongly. He almost gnashed his teeth in agreement.
"Really!"
"Damn hand speed!"
As they walked out of the elevator and into the hotel lobby, Number Five looked at Ceng Rui's depressed expression and couldn't help but smile as he comforted him, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about it. Although hand speed is the foundation and is very important, there are also many pro players with average hand speed who can reach the top level …"
Li Shiyi nodded in agreement. "That's right, Rui. You don't have to compete with others on this kind of thing. Even if it's like the old Qiu, he's still a completely different type of support from you."
Of course, an abnormal existence like Mu Qiu could not be used as an example.
Lin Feng rubbed his chin and commented, "You're right. Speaking of which, even Phoenix's hand speed is considered slow among the midlaners at this level. Forget about Moon or F, he's probably still a little bit slower than Ah Xing." Lin Feng rubbed his chin.
At this moment, Number One, who was beside him, chimed in leisurely.
"Of course."
"Even in the support team … In my and Xiao Wu's generation, M was famous for his bad hands."
"But didn't he still stand at that height?"
This example was even more convincing than Phoenix's example. Lin Feng's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.
"Oh, that's right, senior! Since you've arranged for TangTang's master to be Senior Bullet, is there any way to arrange for Senior M to be Ah Zeng's master? "
Only a certain someone could come up with such a bold idea.
But when Ceng Rui heard this, he couldn't help but perk up from his depressed mood. His face also revealed a faint look of anticipation.
Yeah, what if?
Even though he knew it was almost impossible, wasn't it also unimaginable for TangTang to have Senior Bullet as her master?
When Number One saw Ceng Rui's expectant look, he nodded slightly and showed a contemplative look.
"This …"
"It's still a little troublesome."
Indeed, Number One admired a junior like Ceng Rui. Moreover, Ceng Rui's personality was meticulous and calm, and his playstyle was somewhat similar to M's. It was impossible for Number One not to have considered Lin Feng's idea, but … it was still a little lacking.
Although No.1 was familiar with the personality of his old friend from Korea and knew that the other party was much easier to talk to than Lee Dao-jae, the other party was still an existence that stood at the top of the pyramid and was not much inferior to No.1 himself.
And for a legend like him, no matter how gentle he usually treated others, he still had his own pride.
For example, Bullet only accepted Tang Bingyao because she was too talented and her playstyle was perfect. There was no way he wouldn't accept her.
But Ceng Rui …
To be honest, there was still a considerable gap between him and the standards of these top legends from the previous generation.
But after thinking about it for a moment, Number One didn't directly say it out loud. Instead, he changed the topic.
"Of course, it's not completely impossible.
Let's wait until you reach 5 minutes and 30 seconds in nightmare mode.
"If you can do that … I can help you talk to M about it."
5 minutes and 30 seconds.
Although it was still a difficult goal for Ceng Rui to achieve, it was much lower than the standard that Number One had set for Lin Feng, Li Shiyi, and Tang Bingyao.
Ceng Rui showed a look of regret when he heard the first half of Number One's words, but when he heard the second half, he cheered up and nodded solemnly.
"Okay!"
To put it bluntly, whether it was 5 minutes and 30 seconds or 6 minutes and 30 seconds, as long as he had the slightest chance of meeting his idol, he was willing to give it a try.
… …
The group walked toward Milton Coliseum.
On the way there, Li Shiyi asked Tang Bingyao for the Mini Gopher and tried two games. Since he hadn't played with it in years, he only managed to get a score of five minutes with one hand. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Back in the day, he would've gotten a solid start in six minutes.
Seeing the group playing the Mini Gopher, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel an itch in his hand.
"Hey, let me try. Let me try."
Of course, he chose nightmare mode.
He started the game with one hand.
Seven minutes later, the game ended.
The screen of the Mini Gopher Mini Gopher displayed the final score of 7 minutes and 09 seconds.
Compared to Tang Bingyao's previous performance, Tang Bingyao's score was a few seconds higher. Furthermore, Tang Bingyao, Ceng Rui, and Li Shiyi's expression didn't change much. Finally, Tang Bingyao, Ceng Rui, and Li Shiyi couldn't help but applaud.
As expected of someone who was close to recovering to his peak.
If he could achieve this kind of result so easily, it would not be a problem for him to break through seven and a half minutes or even eight minutes if he practiced a little more.
Maybe …
This was the kind of strength that only the Yonkō could have.
