Delta, Haotian breaches defenses: The dam is too deep!

The next three games went very smoothly.

Without the interference of that lovable couple, Jiang Chen felt much more at ease fighting alone. His "Papa Style" build still consisted of a series of AKs that could kill in seconds, and the cost was still less than 300,000. But in his hands, the gun's lethality far exceeded its price.

"There are too many geniuses in space exploration, let's just fight Jemi Bakshi instead."

In the second round, the top-secret Baksh landed at position number one in the Tower of Babel. Jiang Chen swiped his card to enter and ate his way along the ocean. He encountered two teams and used his AK to precisely kill them, resulting in six kills and over five million points. The flying squirrel then retreated.

The third round was still the top-secret Baksh. This time, Jiang Chen landed on the opposing team's number one position. Using Mai Xiaowen's stealth, Jiang Chen sneaked into the medical facility and waited in the same spot for three minutes. A three-man team filed in. This team was skilled with glass cannons, taking down three opponents with three shots from an AK in a second, clean and efficient. After finishing their loot, they shut down the gate and left, earning another four million.

The fourth match was a bit more complicated. In the central control area, they encountered a well-equipped team with excellent marksmanship. Jiang Chen fought them for a while, but in the end, he used the headshot damage of a single AK and his own movement to defeat them one by one. This match cost him the most, nearly six million.

After finishing four rounds, Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair, looking at the asset numbers in his account.

enough.

100M.

"I've just mastered the AWM, but my aiming accuracy has also improved along with it, plus my original aiming skills were already quite good."

In his previous life, he was a demon king-level escort. Although he wasn't a top player standing at the pinnacle, his basic skills were solid, and his gun feel was there. The AWM mastery given by the system was more like an enhancement on his original foundation, making his positioning ability go from "good" to "precise." This improvement was subtle and was reflected in every scope-in, every pre-aiming, and every fine-tuning of the gun line.

Jiang Chen opened the system panel.

The asset requirement of 100M has been met, and the button for exchanging the next ability has lit up. He looked at the several options listed on the panel, his gaze lingering on one of them for a few seconds.

[A Demon-Level Understanding of the Aerospace Base]

The final match of the Chen Ze Cup was against the Aerospace Base.

There's nothing to hesitate about.

Jiang Chen clicked "redeem".

The next second, a massive flow of information flooded into his brain, as if someone had poured the contents of an entire library into his head in an instant. Dense data, routes, locations, timing, rhythm—everything about the space base map, from every blind spot to the optimal solution for every route, from the choice of positions at every engagement point to the response strategies for every situation, all exploded in his consciousness, and then were quickly categorized, organized, and settled.

Jiang Chen closed his eyes, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

This feeling is much more intense than when I redeemed the AWM Mastery last time. The amount of information is too much. It's not just an improvement in a single skill, but a comprehensive understanding of the entire map, from macro to micro, from strategy to tactics. Every detail is filled to the brim.

After about ten seconds, the flow of information gradually subsided.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

There was too much in his mind, and he needed time to digest it, but he could already feel the change. His previous understanding of the space base was based on his memories from his previous life. Although he was already very strong, it was still just "experience." Now, however, his understanding had risen to the level of "instinct." He didn't need to think or recall anything. Whenever he saw a scene, the optimal solution would automatically appear in his mind.

Jiang Chen was about to turn off the game and take a break when his phone suddenly vibrated.

News about Ye Xingran.

"Oh, so you're sneaking around playing games this early in the morning, huh?"

Jiang Chen glanced at the time; it was nine in the morning, but for esports enthusiasts, that was indeed considered early.

Oh no, we've been caught.

He couldn't help but laugh, then sent a pleading emoji.

"You woke up and didn't even call me, huh."

"I've only been playing for a short time."

"Your game log shows you played four games, each lasting at least twenty minutes. Do you think that's not long?"

Jiang Chen: ...

Women are indeed not easy to fool.

"I'm punishing you by making you play SpaceX with me." Ye Xingran sent a hands-on-hips emoji.

Jiang Chen did not refuse. In any case, he had just exchanged for the Demon King level understanding of the space base and needed to digest the newly flooded information in his mind through actual combat.

The two teamed up and started playing space travel.

In the first game, Jiang Chen's playing style was quite different from before.

Previously, when he was playing in the aerospace field, he relied more on his memories and experience from his previous life, following familiar routes and using proven strategies. Although he was already very strong, he was ultimately operating within a fixed framework. Now, that framework has disappeared, replaced by a more flexible and free state. He no longer needs to follow a fixed route, but makes the optimal choice based on the changing situation every second. Every step is just right, and every decision is precise to the millimeter.

Ye Xingran followed behind him, and at first she didn't notice anything different, but after playing two rounds, she suddenly frowned.

"Jiang Chen".

"Um?"

"I always feel like your playing style has evolved, it's a bit strange, but I can't quite put my finger on what's changed." Ye Xingran thought about it seriously, "You used to be very strong in aerospace, but it always felt like you were 'executing' a plan, but now... it's like you don't need a plan anymore, you are the plan itself."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's heart stirred slightly.

Ye Xingran had a keen intuition. Although she couldn't pinpoint the specific changes, she sensed a fundamental difference.

"Maybe I've been playing a lot lately, and my skills have picked up," Jiang Chen casually replied.

"Liar." Ye Xingran snorted. "But whatever, no matter how you change, you're still amazing."

Jiang Chen smiled and didn't say anything more.

The two played a few more rounds until dawn before Ye Xingran reluctantly logged off, reminding him to go to sleep early before leaving.

Jiang Chen turned off the game, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling for a while.

The "Demon King Level" understanding of the space base has been obtained.

He is ready for the Chen Ze Cup final.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

……

In the evening, his phone vibrated and woke him up.

It's news from Chen Ze.

"Bro!!! The finals are tomorrow!!! Are you ready!!!"

This was followed by a string of excited, distorted emojis.

Jiang Chen looked at the message and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He replied with two words.

"bring it on."
