So, some things weren't exaggerated at all.
Back then, Lin Feng's group of five were considered top geniuses in the eyes of the oldest and most experienced pro players in the circle. However, every single one of them, without exception, had been traumatized by a mere Mini Hamster Game Machine for many years.
Lin Feng was the same.
Li Shiyi was the same.
Even Tian Tian was the same.
As soon as he saw the familiar gopher, Tian Tian's face turned as white as a sheet. He looked like he was about to pass out. Ceng Rui couldn't help but be speechless. He secretly whispered to An Xin beside him.
"Did they really train that hard back then?"
An Xin covered her mouth and giggled. "Their hands were always cramping up when they went to bed at night after training."
Only Huangxue Nightsong, Morning Star, and Shi Hang didn't understand the situation. When they saw Tian Tian's pale face, they were even more surprised. They took the gopher from Li Shiyi's hands and examined it.
"What the hell is this?"
"A gopher? How could it cause such a big reaction from Circle God? "
"Oh, right. How did it cause trouble?"
Li Shiyi gave them a simple explanation of what had happened. Only then did the three of them come to a realization. Their gazes towards the hamster game machine changed again. They were even more eager to try it out.
"It's something to train your hand speed …"
"Did you guys use this thing to train your reaction speed in S1?"
When Lin Feng saw that they were excited, he encouraged them, "Do you want to try it too?"
Tang Bingyao and Ceng Rui's eyes lit up with anticipation. Even though it was theoretically possible to determine the results of players of different skill levels in the gopher challenge, it was still only in theory. It wasn't as practical as seeing it with their own eyes.
"I'll play a round!"
Huangxue Nightsong was the first to volunteer. He rolled up his sleeves and picked up the gopher. He didn't forget to confirm the situation with Lin Feng.
"One-handed Nightmare mode, right?"
"You played it for seven minutes?"
Lin Feng corrected him. "Seven minutes and nine seconds."
Shi Hang couldn't help but smirk. "You have to include nine seconds? Is there a need to be so calculative?"
Lin Feng laughed mischievously and said, "You'll see if it works or not when you try it yourself."
The commotion attracted the attention of Number One and Number Five, who were ordering. Number Five looked over and smiled. "Looks like this Gopher machine is going to become popular in the three clubs."
Number One glanced at him briefly before looking away and continuing to order.
"A few brats who have nothing better to do … It's good to find something for them to do."
At the end of the day, no matter what level a player was at, training their reaction speed and hand speed was absolutely the right thing to do.
…
A Nightmare Mode Hamster Challenge began.
It soon ended.
The electronic screen of the mini game console displayed the final time — 5 minutes and 45 seconds.
"Tsk, Old Ye, you're not good enough." Shi Hang was the first to gloat. "What was Sister Tang Tang's score again? It should be almost six minutes, right? You can't even beat her! "
The three of them were very familiar with each other, especially during the recent training sessions between the three guilds. Whenever they chatted, Barren Snow Nightsong would always brag about his hand speed and reaction speed, which made it impossible for anyone to find fault with him. It was a rare opportunity for Shi Hang to tease him, so of course, Shi Hang wouldn't let it go.
Li Shiyi was a bit kinder. "It's already pretty good. It'll take some time to get used to it."
Tian Tian nodded in agreement. "The first time I played it … I made a mistake after three minutes."
An honest person would speak the truth. If it were any other pro player, they definitely wouldn't be willing to say such a thing and lose face. However, Tian Tian spoke the truth. In the past, his hand speed was only slightly faster than Li Shiyi's among the five of them. When he first started using the Gopher Machine, it was indeed very taxing. He had suffered quite a bit before slowly adapting.
Shi Hang was already ready to stretch out his hand.
"Alright, it's my turn!"
After watching Huangxue Nightsong play a round, he couldn't help but feel his hands itch.
But Huangxue Nightsong slapped his hand away. "What are you doing? I'm not done yet!"
The ace ADC of Team God was starting to get into a fight with the Gophers.
"Damn, I didn't play well just now."
"That wasn't my real skill at all!"
"Let's go again!"
With that, he started another round.
And Barren Snow Nightsong wasn't boasting. After getting used to the difficulty and rhythm of the first round, the start of the second round was obviously much smoother. Using one hand, his fingers quickly moved and tapped on the electronic screen. It had been four minutes, then five minutes, then six minutes …
Finally, he made a mistake at six minutes and 20 seconds and missed a gopher, ending the game once more.
"Again!"
This time, Huangxue Nightsong didn't even wait for the others to speak before he started a third round.
As for the third round … he was finally able to bring out the full extent of his abilities.
Six minutes and 45 seconds!
Even though Huangxue Nightsong was sweating profusely after three rounds, Ceng Rui, Li Shiyi, and Tang Bingyao couldn't help but praise him. Even Lin Feng couldn't help but nod in approval.
"Not bad!"
Yes, just from this result, it could be seen that Huangxue Nightsong's reaction speed and hand speed had already far surpassed the level of a first-rate pro player. He might not even be inferior to an ordinary Seven Kings.
Even so, Huangxue Nightsong wasn't satisfied. He looked up at Lin Feng.
"You played for seven minutes and 09 seconds?"
This time, he took the initiative to count the remaining 9 seconds. He wouldn't know until he experienced it for himself, but after experiencing it for himself, he realized that every second of improvement in the later stages of the game was a huge leap forward.
Lin Feng shrugged. "If you ask me to play again now, I won't get that result."
Huangxue Nightsong nodded. He couldn't help but feel discouraged. "Damn … the difference is really big."
He was still a little unwilling to give up. After all, his hand speed and control had always been his strengths. But now, even if he wanted to keep challenging, he didn't have the strength to do so. He knew that even if he tried a few more rounds, he wouldn't get much better. Six minutes and 45 seconds was pretty much his limit.
The second player was Shi Hang, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
He also played three rounds in a row.
The first round was very cautious, and he only managed to get four minutes. Huangxue Nightsong, who was waiting to watch a good show, mercilessly laughed at him.
The second and third rounds, on the other hand, were as good as he should be, with six minutes and five seconds, respectively.
After finishing the game, Shi Hang threw the game console on the table as if he was exhausted. He fell back on the chair, sweating profusely as well. He sighed with emotion.
"Damn … this really isn't meant for humans."
Even the shadow puppets sitting a bit further away heard the commotion and came over to try their luck. Their five minutes were average, and Ceng Rui, who was also a support player, was able to regain some of his mental balance.
In the end, there was only one person left who hadn't tried.
Everyone turned to look at him. Morning Star calmly nodded.
"Alright, I'll try too."
