After advancing on the ‘ropz Inferno’ map understanding, Yang Yu wasn’t in a hurry to watch ropz’s POV.
He noticed that his advance points had already reached the number 3689.
B1T’s headshot talent had greatly improved his level, but the ‘Xantares Peek Low-Level Fragment’ he had obtained earlier also gave his combat mechanics a slight boost, so he didn’t underestimate the items in the Advance Shop either.
And to be honest, he still quite coveted those things in the Advance Shop called Sacred Bodies.
The ceiling of the items in the Advance Shop was still quite high.
If he could get a fire-sale discount and advance himself to TOP-tier strength, how great would that be!
But today’s fantasy time was over. Yang Yu honestly opened the shop and began browsing.
The first item made his eyes light up.
【Item Lock Ticket】
【Price: 200 Points】
【Description: After use, locks one item in the shop for 144 hours. The item will remain in the shop for 144 hours.】
Seeing this, Yang Yu sucked in a breath.
This was easy to understand—just like the lock in TFT’s shop. As long as you used it, you could keep the card for the next round to continue purchasing.
This thing was truly useful. Although it required spending some points specifically to buy it.
But if one day, Yang Yu was just about 500 points short of purchasing something at the ‘Sacred Body’ level, and it was exactly what he needed.
He could only watch as the shop refreshed the next day, left crying without tears.
But Yang Yu didn’t rush to buy it and continued scrolling down.
Damn, the second item made him want to place an order immediately.
【Sacred Body (Fragment): Remnants of Da Sen】
【Price: 30,000 Points】
【Description: As part of the Root Vessel, it contains one-sixth of the power of CS:GO’s GOAT, s1mple—the aspect of game sense.】
He had to admit, he really wanted this thing, but unfortunately his advance points were truly insufficient—he really couldn’t afford it.
He roughly calculated that even if he bought the ‘Item Lock Ticket’, he couldn’t gather 30,000 advance points within 144 hours.
【The Reverse Shrimp】
【Price: 2,000 Points】
【Description: When facing a going-home match, the Host’s condition will greatly increase. As for why you’re going home—don’t ask!
P.S.: Every generation’s Shrimp Bro suddenly goes Hide when facing going-home matches. God chose to create a reverse shrimp—can this break the ‘shrimp’ ending?】
Why you gotta diss my Ni!!!
But to be honest, facing this ability, Yang Yu was genuinely moved.
Not for anything else, but just to break the Shrimp Bro’s destiny for him.
It wasn’t like every generation’s Shrimp Bro went Hide in going-home matches, alright?
Yang Yu didn’t rush to buy it and checked the last item first.
【Low-Level Tips Combo Pack】
【Price: 500】
【Description: After opening, randomly obtain a combo pack containing 10 small tips.】
Yang Yu thought for a moment. Because of his game-hour limitations, these small tips and routine plays were exactly what he needed most right now.
His desire to buy this last combo pack was very strong.
So after thinking, he chose to spend 2,000 points to purchase 【The Reverse Shrimp】 and 500 points to purchase the 【Low-Level Tips Combo Pack】.
After purchasing 【The Reverse Shrimp】, he immediately felt that he had become extremely repulsed by the idea of losing and going home. The moment he thought of such a scene, the unwillingness in his heart grew increasingly intense.
So it was this intense unwillingness in his heart that triggered the power boost during going-home matches?
Since he couldn’t experience a going-home match for the time being, Yang Yu had no way to truly feel the full effect of this ability.
And after purchasing the 【Low-Level Tips Combo Pack】, the scene before his eyes flashed.
Many scenes began flashing through his mind.
The first scene made his eyes light up. The player was below VIP on Inferno, using a sideways spin jump to achieve a silent solo boost onto VIP.
The silent VIP boost was crucial for controlling Apartments.
But in current pro matches, a silent boost into Apartments required another player to come act as a “booster” to help lift them.
But if one could solo boost onto VIP, the other player could go do something else at that timing. Not to mention, if the main force was on Banana, this silent VIP boost could catch far more timings.
Yang Yu looked at it and discovered this was a technique derived from KZ.
First, stand at the edge of the platform below VIP, face left, shift-walk forward and jump, release W the instant after jumping while holding D, pull the mouse to the right during the process, and press crouch the moment you land on VIP, thus achieving a silent VIP boost.
After this technique demonstration, Yang Yu suddenly found himself sitting in front of a computer, already below VIP on Inferno.
He instantly understood—this was letting him try it himself.
Yang Yu’s movement wasn’t ideal. This looked easy, but was somewhat difficult to attempt. On his first try, Yang Yu accidentally landed below VIP with a “thud.”
If this were in a match, he would have already given away the information that someone was below VIP.
He didn’t get discouraged and continued trying hard.
The second time…
The third time…
The fifth time…
Finally, on the seventh try, as his movements became smoother, he landed skillfully by the VIP railing without making a sound.
The joy of learning something new made Yang Yu smile happily.
“Seems like it’s not that hard.”
After his successful attempt, he also left that computer, and a second brand-new technique began appearing in his mind.
This time, the scene appeared on Mirage.
Yet Yang Yu keenly sensed something slightly off, because he felt the overall color tone of Mirage seemed to have become brighter.
The protagonist in the scene followed the team’s AWPer into VIP; the AWPer actively gave him an HE grenade, then jumped onto a stool inside VIP to hold an angle.
But the opponents threw a fast VIP smoke at round start, completely blocking his vision.
How to deal with this? Yang Yu was a bit curious.
Then he saw the POV player, leaning against the coffee table inside VIP, throw an HE grenade inside VIP.
Team-killing a teammate right off the bat?
Yang Yu was somewhat confused, then saw this grenade explode inside VIP, blowing away the enemy’s VIP smoke while not costing the AWPer too much HP.
The AWPer inside VIP took advantage of the gained vision to pick off a Terrorist crossing mid, and immediately after, the POV player threw a second smoke-busting grenade after the smoke reconverged, repeating the same trick and assisting the AWPer in securing a second kill.
Yang Yu watched with great interest; this coordination was incredibly smooth.
Then he suddenly realized a problem.
“Holy shit, HE grenades can blow away smoke now?” He was somewhat baffled. “Where the hell did this send me? Is this still CS:GO?”
…
Going forward, there will probably be a chapter around 2 PM and another around dinner time. The schedule should be fixed around then…
