Chapter 168 Fang Rui: Retirement Game!
"Brothers, do you have any game recommendations?" Fang Rui leaned lazily on the back of the gaming chair and asked the audience in the live broadcast room with squinted eyes.

As one of the Honor professional players with the best sense of humor, his live streaming career started very smoothly.

His skills are still at their peak and he can adapt to any game. In addition, his emotional intelligence is high enough, so his live broadcasts are very enjoyable to watch.

However, recently he has been troubled by some minor worries.

First of all, he himself has been a bit lazy recently.

Fang Rui is a rare player who is not optimistic about the prospects of the Honor Professional League and has little interest in League of Legends.

On the one hand, he could keenly sense that the game of Glory was almost over.

On the other hand, he was a little bit disliked of the game mode of League of Legends.

After all, although he is a good jungler thanks to his innate talent, he just doesn't have the kind of heartfelt passion that some other players have.

Therefore, during the six months of suspension, he was not as dedicated as Han Wenqing, Zhou Zekai and other players, using high-intensity training to maintain his condition.

Although basic training still exists, he can also feel that he is becoming more and more lazy.

Compared to his old rivals like Ye Xiu who are fighting in the LPL, he is more envious of his old partner, Lin Jingyan.

A game like Teamfight Tactics, which has a slow pace and can be played leisurely, is quite suitable for Fang Rui's current appetite.

It’s a pity that as a mode in League of Legends, he can’t play it even though he has signed the contract.

Under such circumstances, Fang Rui doesn't like to play games that require high-intensity operations during live broadcasts.

There are games on the market that meet this requirement, but there are not many that can also maintain the popularity of live streaming.

This made him a bit game-starved.

Yawning, Fang Rui looked at the various recommendations on the barrage and selected a few answers that would be effective for the show.

"Glory? Last time I was squatting in a corner of the live broadcast room for more than ten minutes, you almost scolded me to death."

"Interstellar Journey? Spare me some time, I don't want to be blinded yet. Xiao Shiqin is obsessed now and can't understand any details."

"League of Legends? No, forget it. I don't want to lose my job..."

Most of the viewers in the live broadcast room had different opinions, and in the end, the same few games were played over and over again without any novelty.

Fang Rui sighed helplessly and planned to find a good 3A game from Tenghai's game library to deal with it.

But at this moment, an account on his QQ that had not contacted him for a long time rang.

Seeing that name, Fang Rui couldn't help but be stunned.

"Wuthering Heights - Horse Riding in the West Wind."

West Wind, President of the Wuthering Heights Guild.

Not every club is as bold as Blue Rain and dares to take in cadres from the original guild.

A small club like Whirlwind does not have such qualifications.

So after discussion, all the senior executives of Wuthering Heights peacefully terminated their contracts with the Wuthering Heights headquarters and became free agents.

To put it bluntly, they were laid off.

After that, Fang Rui basically lost contact with the guys in these guilds.

I just heard that most of them have given up their glory after leaving.

Why did Ma Ta Xifeng come again today?

Could it be that... the Glory team was bullied and came to the professional players for help?

Fang Rui's spirits lifted.

If it's true, then we have the material for today.

At this time, everyone in the live broadcast room also began to make a noise without any effort:
"There's a fight? Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Prepare to freeze your hands!"

"Don't say that. Maybe Old Ma just came here to reminisce about the past." Although he said that, Fang Rui himself smiled.

While making jokes, he opened Ma Ta Xifeng's QQ chat page.

As expected, the familiar beginning: "Team, we are being bullied!"

"Hey, looks like I have to go out today!" Fang Rui smiled happily and took the initiative to request a video chat with Ma Ta Xifeng.

Soon, the video was connected.

"Captain Fang, I finally got in touch with you!" Ma Taxifeng looked surprised as if he had found a backer.

Although he had left Howling for a long time, he still subconsciously called Fang Rui to join the team.

"What's going on? Were you guys robbed of monsters in Glory? Or were you being hunted? I'm not saying anything bad about you guys, but there aren't many people in Glory right now, so why are you so keen on bosses..."

Fang Rui looked calm and composed, and for the sake of the live broadcast effect, he planned to pretend to criticize Ma Ta Xifeng.

Then the gods will come down to earth, and with the help of ghosts and gods, they will decisively attack to save the world!
But who would have thought that Ma Ta Xifeng was stunned at first after hearing his words, and then began to shake his head vigorously:
"Team Fang misunderstood. I'm not talking about anything in Glory!"

"If it's not glory, then what is it?" Fang Rui was confused.

If nothing went wrong in Glory, then what was the point of calling him a professional player?
"It's another game called... World of Warships." Ma Taxifeng hesitated for half a second, and seemed to think it was inappropriate to disturb Fang Rui because of other game matters.

But thinking of the tragic situation in the game, he gritted his teeth and told the truth.

"World of Warships?" Fang Rui was stunned.

"That's a—" Ma Ta Xi Feng was about to explain, but was interrupted by Fang Rui waving his hand, "Wait a minute, I think I've heard this name somewhere."

Fang Rui frowned and thought, feeling that the name was very familiar.

After a long time, he suddenly reacted, his eyes widened:
"World of Warships! Could it be the game that gave Ye Xiuzheng enlightenment?"

……

When the LPL league just started, the opening match between Blue Rain and Happy ended with Happy winning 2:1 to Blue Rain.

After the game, Ye Xiu, as a representative, accepted a personal interview from Pei Yunteng himself.

Pei Yunteng is such a bad bastard. It was clearly he who manipulated Ye Xiu's transition to League of Legends.

But he still had to ask Ye Xiu during the hosting session: “As a veteran of the Glory Pro League, what prompted you to make such a huge change?”

Originally, Pei Yunteng wanted to hear Ye Bushi brag about his great achievements in person.

Who would have thought that Ye Xiu would think about it seriously and actually give an answer that he didn't even know the inside story of:
"On the day we made the decision, Mu Cheng and I went to visit the grave of an old friend and took a taxi."

"We met a driver in the car."

"I originally thought he was just an ordinary driver, but I didn't expect that he was actually an e-sports world champion!" Ye Xiu still found it amazing when he thought of the scene that day.

“He shared a lot of stories and insights with me in the car.”

"It's funny, until now, I haven't won an international championship!"

"I was thinking that I couldn't let the driver look down on me. I heard that there was a world championship competition here, so I came here." Ye Xiu made a small joke.

Ye Xiu's answer showed high emotional intelligence. While not revealing the real reason for his transformation, he livened up the atmosphere and expressed the team's ambition to compete for the world championship.

But Pei Yunteng had already remembered which project actually had a world-class competition, so he naturally would not miss the opportunity to promote his own niche game.

I immediately asked, "Is there such a thing? What game was the driver playing?"

"World of Warships."

As an exchange between two of the biggest figures in the most watched opening match, the content of this interview naturally attracted widespread attention.

World of Warships and the world champion uncle became hot topics at the time.

Although everyone thought it was just a marketing trick at the beginning, Pei Yunteng was attracting traffic to his own game.

But as netizens dug deeper and World of Warships players spoke out, everyone was surprised to find that World of Warships does have a world championship, and it has been held for many years!

In fact, World of Warships was Pei Yunteng’s earliest layout in the field of e-sports.

Even earlier than the revised version of Star Journey.

As a hardcore (definitely) realistic naval combat military game, its target audience is too biased and it simply cannot compete with Honor of Kings.

The number of players is limited, so the e-sports association naturally has no interest in getting involved.

So, in a corner where no one paid attention, World of Warships was not only launched, but also held several world championships.

The champion of 22 years was the Chinese team Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing.

And in this team, there are indeed two older players who are over 30 years old.

Good boy, over thirty years old.

Even if he were five years younger, he would have almost been buried in the field of e-sports.

For a time, World of Warships became an urban legend in the e-sports circle.

It was for this reason that Fang Rui could immediately remember the other party's origins when Ma Ta Xifeng mentioned this name.

"Yes, it's that game!" Ma Ta Xifeng nodded vigorously.

"So, after you left Glory, you went to World of Warships?"

"In fact, it wasn't a switch. At the beginning, some members became interested in this game because of Ye Shen's interview, so they went to check it out." Ma Ta Xifeng explained. "As a result, they unexpectedly discovered that this game has a lot in common with Glory in terms of tactics."

“Then I started recruiting people from the guild.”

Fang Rui was somewhat dumbfounded.

World of Warships, somewhat similar to Glory?

The two games are totally unrelated, right?
But in fact, it is true.

Although World of Warships simulates naval battles that have nothing to do with Honor, its design concept has many similarities with Honor.

Take the battle mode as an example. At the beginning of the game, everyone chooses their own battleships to form a lineup, and then attacks or occupies points on a map.

Everyone has only one life, and once you die, it’s gone.

Battleships have different ways of playing due to the different types of ships.

Aircraft carriers explore the field of vision and control the air, battleships throw shit, cruisers hold the line, destroyers lay smoke to occupy the point, explore the field of vision and throw torpedoes...

Something seemed wrong, but it didn't matter.

This mode... is similar to the Glory game mode and the situation where there are no resurrection points in the guild war!

In addition to the competition mode, players of World of Warships need to play matches and human-computer dungeons to save money and build higher-level warships.

There are even guilds in the game, and some large guilds have their own teams.

Wow, for the guys from Wuthering Heights, coming here is like going home.

For this reason, after the initial exploration, players of Wuthering Heights began to try this new game in large numbers.

Later, Wuthering Heights simply transformed itself into a rapidly rising new force in the World of Warships.

While there are so many strong competitors, he even plans to form his own team to compete in the World of Warships eSports competition.

That's right, at least for now, Wuthering Heights is much closer to winning the championship trophy than Wuthering Heights Club.

Fang Rui was dumbfounded after hearing this.

"No, you really did a great job!" he exclaimed subconsciously.

He could understand how Ye Xiu felt when he met the driver.

As the top professional player of Wind Howl, Fang Rui is still a long way from winning the championship trophy.

As a result, their younger brother Wuthering Heights has quietly begun competing for the championship.

"But why did you come to me for help?" Thinking of something, Fang Rui asked again with a frown.

At this point, Ma Ta Xi Feng suddenly felt a little ashamed: "To be honest, Team Fang, we were abused by others."

"We have an appointment with another guild. There is an aircraft carrier player on the other side. He is very powerful."

"The plane operating the aircraft carrier was extremely good at operation, and the timing of the attack was very tricky, causing our brothers to suffer terribly." Ma Ta Xifeng complained.

"In that case, why don't you just target him?" Fang Rui asked subconsciously.

"But that's an aircraft carrier! Aircraft carriers hide far away from the battlefield and secretly launch aircraft. It's difficult to hit an aircraft carrier in a normal battle between warships."

Fang Rui thought about real-life aircraft carriers and understood.

"So what are you going to do?"

Having said this, Ma Ta Xifeng's expression suddenly became mischievous and vulgar.

"Team, it's like this. In World of Warships, there is a type of ship called a submarine."

"Wait, what type of ship is it?" Fang Rui interrupted Ma Taxifeng.

The pronunciation of "舰中" can express a normal meaning or a curse word.

Ma Ta Xi Feng chuckled and said even more vulgarly: "Both of them."

"Submarines, we generally call them underwater villains. They have very good concealment and can quietly bypass the enemy's defense line, go behind the enemy, and carry out assassination tactics on the enemy's important targets, such as aircraft carriers."

"It's just that our submariners weren't very skilled, and the aircraft carrier was well protected, so the assassination failed."

Fang Rui suddenly smiled: "So you thought of looking for a sleazy thief like me to help you guys?"

"The team is wise!" Ma Ta Xifeng flattered them.

"You are a master of the dirty tricks. You are definitely the most suitable person to carry out missions such as infiltration and assassination!"

"World of Warships has a lot of logic similar to Glory, so the team will definitely get the hang of it quickly."

"As long as the submarines of the squadron can help us destroy the opponent's aircraft carrier, won't we be able to defeat the opponent in this situation?"

Listening to Ma Ta Xifeng's introduction, Fang Rui couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Although I really don't know anything about World of Warships, it sounds like I can give it a try.

If the words are appropriate, it can even become one of the regular programs in your live broadcast room.

Moreover, just helping the old brothers of Wuthering Heights to get their revenge is already a very good gimmick.

Today I was worried about not being able to find the live broadcast content.

This job... is done!
Thinking of this, Fang Rui smiled and said, "Since you all said so, what else can I say?"

"Your opponents can only feel the value of the master of the dirty style!"

Hearing Fang Rui's approval, Ma Ta Xi Feng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Captain Fang!"

At this moment, Fang Rui suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, is this game very challenging to operate? Does it require fast hand speed like Honor of Kings?"

Fang Rui has been playing very healthily recently. If this game requires a high hand speed, he will have to adapt again.

Unexpectedly, Ma Ta Xi Feng listened to this as if he had heard a joke, and laughed: "Don't worry, Captain Fang, the hand speed requirement for this game is very low."

"But the requirements for operational accuracy, predictive ability, and overall situation awareness are relatively high."

"I'm familiar with this!" Fang Rui became excited.

As early as when he debuted, he was given the nickname "Golden Right Hand" because of his precise operating ability.

However, he was somewhat curious about what Ma Ta Xifeng said about not requiring high hand speed.

"How low is it?"

In his opinion, since Ma Ta Xifeng said so, the requirements for apm should not be high.

I guess you can have a good time if you are over a hundred years old.

But he was still naive.

Ma Ta Xi Feng smiled and said a number that completely stunned Fang Rui: "Theoretically, apm5 is also worth playing with."

What?
apm, which means the number of effective operations per minute.

Professional players in Glory are generally above 200, and most of them can stay above 270. Of course, there are also some weirdos like Yu Wenzhou who are around 200.

But what is the concept of apm5?
Is it possible that an effective operation is only required once every twelve seconds?
Ma Ta Xifeng thought of a battleship named Vermont and smiled even more happily.

"In theory, if the team wants, they can go make some tea after firing the first shot, reply to a message on their phone, and then come back to fire the second shot. There will be no delay!"

White Eagle battleship Vermont, main gun reload time, forty seconds per round.

Vermont (soon) (sure)

After hearing Ma Ta Xifeng's explanation, Fang Rui was dumbfounded, but at the same time, he became more excited.

What kind of dream retirement game is this?

There is no requirement for fast hand speed, and you can play until you are in your thirties or forties, and you may even be qualified to compete for the world championship.

Ever since Honor's collapse, Fang Rui has never considered the issue of transformation.

The reasons have been mentioned before. There is no very suitable choice, and Fang Rui himself does not have a particularly strong desire to transform.

But it is obvious that right now, this game called World of Warships seems to be quite attractive.

"Old Ma, you just said, what is the nickname of the submarine?" Fang Rui suddenly asked.

"My name is...underwater villain." Although it sounds unpleasant, Ma Ta Xifeng had no choice but to explain it.

Unexpectedly, Fang Rui was not angry at all, but laughed happily:
"Being a villain underwater?"

"I like!"

　The second update is 5,000 words.

　　That's it for today
　　I have a lot of classes tomorrow.

　　Let me make it clear first, those of you who have never played World of Warships don’t rush to skip it.

　　This game is really easy to understand.

　　Moreover, the dog author can really play this thing clearly, and can also write it as clearly as possible for everyone.

　　So please don’t skip the order.
