Chapter 9 – Ye Xiu's Two Hands
Chen Guo actually didn't have a habit of pulling all-nighters . Only, today was the opening of a new server, so she came to see the liveliness . After seeing it, she quickly grew sleepy and fell back on her chair only half-conscious .
This type of sleep quality was obviously quite poor . It was just that Chen Guo was too lazy to get up . In this half-asleep half-conscious state, her ears couldn't help but drift to the frantic keyboard tapping and mouse clicking sounds . To a boss at an Internet Cafe, these sounds were very familiar to her . But the sounds Chen Guo heard were somewhat different . These sounds were hurried and then slow, gentle and then heavy . Hearing this mechanical rhythm, Chen Guo had never thought that the tapping of a keyboard and mouse could sound like drums . Was she dreaming?
Chen Guo suddenly woke up and listened again carefully . It seemed like it truly wasn't a dream . These sounds came from beside her — from that newly hired network manager, Ye Xiu .
Chen Guo sat up wanting to see and the jacket slid off of her body . She promptly grabbed it at it and recognized it as Ye Xiu's jacket . It looks like this person's quite attentive . ” Chen Guo said secretly . Only, how long has this jacket not been washed? It's kind of smelly .
Chen Guo picked up the jacket and sat down . Right when she was about to talk to Ye Xiu, she all of sudden sat there dumbfounded .
A pair of hands that made people's cheeks stream with tears appeared in front of her eyes — Ye Xiu's two hands .
These two hands looked extremely thin . His fingers were long and slender and his joints weren't rough like ordinary male's were . His fingertips were thin and his fingernails were clean and tidy . This was completely inconsistent with his sloppy outer appearance .
Chen Guo had originally never been a very attentive person . But after a lady with extremely beautiful hands came to the Internet Cafe, she became influenced and gradually began paying attention . Now, she was astonished by Ye Xiu's two hands .
The hands were beautiful hands . The tapping sounds were also like music . But his actions… …Ye Xiu's left hands bounced around on the keyboard . Cheng Guo only had one feeling: his hands moved extremely slowly .
Hand speed, the amount of actions done in a certain amount of time, usually counted in minutes, were abbreviated as APM . Glory wasn't a strategy game . Players only controlled a single character, but skill usage was complicated . As a result, the number of fine actions that needed to be done were high, so high hand speed was a must .
A player with a high hand speed made quick and meticulous moves . The strength and duration of each keystroke all directly influenced the extent that the in-game character moved . These changes added further complexity to battles . Only, these types of good or bad changes had differences . For example, some people only raised their APM to look good and never stopped making actions . But making every action count and having high APM, only pro-level players could do .
200 APM . This was the publicly recognized skill level divide in Glory . When ordinary players tried to go above 200 APM, they were basically hitting their keys randomly . Even for pro-gamers, going above 200 APM needed a certain battle scenario . The level of the opponent couldn't be too weak, so that they needed to go over 200 APM to fight .
For ordinary players, 70% of the players were between 80 to 120 APM . 25% couldn't even reach 80 APM and the other 5% exceeded 120 . Though among experts(5%), it is said that there was no lack of players that could reach 200 APM, that professional level of skill .
Chen Guo's hand speed hovered around 120 but could exceed that under certain circumstances . Therefore, Chen Guo believed that she was among that 5%, an expert among ordinary players .
But for Ye Xiu, Chen Guo didn't doubt that his APM hadn't even reached 80 . Right when she noticed this, Chen Guo suddenly found that that rich rhythmic tapping sound also disappeared . The sounds she had heard could only be heard so distinctly because of his slow movements .
“Am I dreaming again… …” Chen Guo shook her head . She wanted to hear that previous dreamy sound, but found that it wouldn't appear no matter how hard she listened . The hands she noticed now operated as if they were disabled, yet were also hands that made people jealous .
Chen Guo was now engrossed in these two hands so much that she even forgot to look at the screen . But soon, Ye Xiu's two hands stopped . Only then did Chen Guo react and look at the screen . She immediately widened her eyes: “Midnight Phantom Cat?”
After saying this, the Midnight Phantom Cat had already fallen down from up above dropping numerous items .
And at this moment, Chen Guo saw an eye-grabbing system announcement flash through the screen: Tenth Server, Midnight Phantom Cat First Hidden Boss Kill: Lord Grim .
“D*mn!!” Chen Guo slapped her hands onto Ye Xiu's back: “You have real skill!” It didn't matter whether his hands were disabled or not . To be able to be the first one to kill, this was something that Chen Guo had never achieved before .
”
Right when Ye Xiu was about to look at the dropped items, this slap truly came unexpectedly . It almost made him swallow the cigarette in his mouth . In the end, only a strand of silver-white smoke fell freely onto the keyboard . Chen Guo, who had originally been peeking at how Ye Xiu worked, saw this scene . Everything about being the first to kill the hidden BOSS had already been completely forgotten . She pulled at Ye Xiu's headphones and snarled next to his ear: “Who let you smoke here?”
“Huh?” The cigarette in Ye Xiu's mouth hadn't been extinguished yet . He didn't really understand what Chen Guo meant .
“NO SMOKING, did you not see that!?” Chen Guo pointed at the wall .
Ye Xiu turned his head and carefully examined the two words on the wall: “Are you kidding me? No smoking at an Internet Cafe?”
“This area is no-smoking . The smoking area is on the other side . ” Chen Guo pointed .
。
“Then let's go over . ” Ye Xiu said .
“No, smelling smoke makes my head hurt . ” Chen Guo said .
“Then what do we do?” Ye Xiu looked as if he had encountered an impossibly difficult problem .
“You can't smoke one less cigarette?” Chen Guo furiously said .
“I can't or my head will hurt . ” Ye Xiu said .
“You you you… …” Chen Guo discovered that she had begun to understand this Ye Xiu . Although he could casually accept living in that tiny storage room, he was definitely not an easy person to deal with .
“I'll go to the smoking area myself then . Boss, you should go rest . ” Ye Xiu said at this moment .
“Wait a second, you never said how you got the first kill!” Chen Guo said .
“Nothing much . The team all died . The BOSS's life was low . It was easy pickings . ” Ye Xiu said quite casually .
“Oh so it's like this . ” Chen Guo's tone still carried admiration . The reward for being the first one to kill this sort of low level hidden BOSS wasn't special . It was at most some extra experience and money . There wouldn't be any top quality equipment . But this would be forever recorded on the standings and he would be a legend on this server . A lot of players liked this sort of feeling . To the majority of ordinary players, getting on this sort of standing could only happen in the beginner levels . Once the dungeons became harder, no matter if it was a regular or a hidden BOSS, killing it required a certain amount of skill to beat . When they got to the heavenly domain, even those highly skilled teams had no chance . All of the records there were set by professional teams .
