Fish Playing While Trapped in a Secret Room Volume 2 Chapter 24

Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room

Book 2: You’re Beautiful

Chapter 24

While Inin had his head lowered to plug in his white keyboard, Dt walked to his computer, set down his mouse and keyboard on the desk, and pulled up the zipper of his sports jacket.

After he pulled up the zipper, the K&K logo was in full view from the right arm to the chest.

It was a dark silver logo on the black jacket, Ai Qing was lost in thought looking at it.

K&K’s uniform didn’t use this color and design at the time when they were in Korea.

But after they came back from Korea, they had suddenly changed the uniform color. The colors and the letter design were once the design of Solo’s team.  The black color was Gun and the dark silver color was Solo.  That was her suggestion at that time.

……

She looked at the man who sat side by side with her.

Couldn’t leave it behind?

He who was once the god of guns.

The large screen displayed three scenes simultaneously.

They were the live broadcasts of the matches of the three champions last year from the Korean, American, and European regions.

“Last year all eight qualified players in American region were all Koreans.”  Gun suddenly spoke.  It didn’t look like he wasn’t talking to Grunt because Grunt certainly knew more than he did.  “The champion was Inin.”

“En.”  She said lightly.  “Koreans are really strong.”

“That’s what I really admired about Solo.”  His voice was a little bit low.  She wasn’t sure whether it was because he had mixed feelings about mentioning their former captain.  He paused for a long while then said,  “He always wanted to tackle impossible missions.”

For example, he challenged the elite of the classic game Counter Strike, when the Scandinavians were the strongest.  When Korea became the strongest, he challenged them in their own game, StarCraft.

“Yes.”  She remembered Solo before his retirement.  She said lightly, “He liked to explore new games.”

This kind of effort without result was what Solo loved to do the most.

It was like choosing baseball instead of Ping-Pong in China.  The environment for growth was totally different.

Though at the time of retirement, his rankings weren’t the highest .  To a certain degree, he was establishing the foundation to keep the game alive in China.

For that, she also admired Grunt who had chosen the most difficult game from the beginning.

The screen suddenly displayed various scenes of large battles.

Her eyes were attracted by it instantly.

It was Dt’s game.  The fighting was scattered across the map.  Even the commentator couldn’t explain it accurately.  They ended just as suddenly as they began.  Gun’s eyes focused on it too.  He suddenly said,  “Tell me about the game.”

Me?  Ai Qing happened to be analyzing the situation in her mind.  She glanced over at Inin, he was doing good.

So she didn’t need to worry about him for the moment.  She lowered her voice and spoke very fast to analyze the situation for Gun,  “Dt’s opponent is ranked number 4 on Korea’s battle.net.  He specialized in Zerg.  Because he was absent from several large competitions, so the tactics he likes to use recently was unknown.

His opponents in the earlier preliminary games were all too weak, so we couldn’t tell his actual ability.

They didn’t broadcast his game from the round of 16 in the morning.  Therefore……”

“I understand now.”  Gun followed up.  “Therefore it doesn’t help at all even if Dt had studied earlier.”

“You could almost say that.”  Ai Qing nodded.  “So I don’t know the tactics he likes to use.  I can only analyze him briefly based on the current game.  Just now, he chose to fast expand at the start of the game. Then look at his base, obviously, facing Dt, his first instinct is defense.”

Gun couldn’t help raising the corners of his mouth.  “Very lively analysis.”

This was the first time Gun showed such a relaxed smile since they saw each other again.  Ai Qing was stunned for several seconds.

The fighting erupted again.

“Now, Dt just destroyed his third expansion and forcing him to split his forces, while Dt’s concentrating his army at his front……”  She spoke faster and faster.  

She didn’t notice that Gun had stopped listening.

He was looking at her.

It seemed that he was caught up in old memories.

“Zerg is now on one base.”  The light was flashing in Ai Qing’s eyes.  She was smiling like a kid who had snuck in a snack without being caught by her parents.  “He doesn’t have much time! At best he only has six minutes.  Dt definitely will win this game!  No!  Three minutes!”

She trusted Dt.

A huge cheer suddenly burst out.

It was faster than she had expected.  Within one minute, Dt decisively went all the way and destroyed the opponent’s last base.

Game over!

This was the first game that had finished among the eight groups.

It was a clear cut win.

This was the first time she had watched Dt play StarCraft live.  His had solid basic skills.  There was no flaw in his opening, from scouting to raiding enemy expansions and besieging the enemy to the end.

Right, there was no flaw with his basic skill, operating, tactics, to his understanding of the map.

So…...

She looked at the other side where the winning Inin was biting his lower lip while operating the computer in high spirit.

So.  How can I beat you?

Dt?
