The Esports Big Shot Wants to Cuddle His New Teammate Every Day chapter 48

Chapter 48

Neither Xie Wei nor Xu Ziyan had the time to look at this yesterday. Hearing this now, they picked up their phones in unison and logged onto The Resistance official website.

Version updates and class adjustments during the off-season were very common, but major changes during the mid-season break were relatively rare.

Clicking on the version update announcement, Xu Ziyan skimmed over the large paragraphs of official polite remarks and bug fixes, scrolling directly to the changes.

[To ensure game balance and add diversity to competitive content and class adaptability, The Resistance will undergo a version update. The changes are as follows.]

[General]

[Due to the current version’s pace being too fast, all character health is now adjusted to 200.]

[Respawn time adjusted from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.]

[Classes]

[Assaulter: In coordination with health adjustment, weapon damage increased by 50%. Critical damage increased by 10%. Removed secondary weapon “Grenade.” Added secondary weapon “Revolver.” Added Armor Value setting. Now every time you leave the spawn point, you can obtain initial armor; the armor value is 50% of health.]

[Sniper: In coordination with health adjustment, weapon damage increased by 50%. Headshot damage adjusted to 250. Added secondary weapon “Heartbeat Sensor.”]

[Medic: Original primary weapon “Healing Gun” name adjusted to “Healing Rifle.” Ammo cap adjusted to 25 rounds. Can be used to heal self and teammates. Added primary weapon “Healing Sniper Rifle,” equipped with a sniper scope. Ammo cap 15 rounds. Can heal teammates, cannot heal self. Does not have critical damage when damaging enemies.]

[Weapons]

[Heartbeat Sensor (Sniper): Can only be used twice in one game. After activation, allows the whole team to see enemy positions clearly. Duration 15 seconds.]

[Taser Gun (Medic): Increased taser gun usage count. Now you can use the taser gun four times in one game.]

[Healing Bottle (Medic): Added damage effect. Now when you use the healing bottle, you can cause damage equal to the healing effect to enemies. Simultaneously increases healing received by allies by 20% and damage received by enemies by 20%, lasting 5 seconds.]

Xu Ziyan read through carefully, subconsciously turning his head to look at Xie Wei, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

Xie Wei seemed to sense it, turning his face and smiling at him. “Great. I look forward to the performance later.”

Bai Ke shrugged. “Now Weibo is full of mentions of you, saying you are the Son of the Version, The Resistance‘s own son. But indeed, who could have thought a version would significantly buff two niche secondary weapons you like to use?”

Originally, the Medic’s positioning was a milk bottle providing sustain for the entire team. However, this major change directly adjusted the Medic from a milk bottle to an offensive support role.

Not only that, but it also added a primary weapon choice. The original Healing Gun, due to range issues plus the usage distance of armor packs, forced Medics to limit their positioning around Assaulters, making it hard to take care of the team’s Sniper.

But adding the Healing Sniper Rifle option and significantly enhancing long-distance healing methods like the Healing Bottle meant that the Medic’s positioning had more choices than before, and the resource support they could give was also greater.

Originally, if Assaulters cut the backline too far away, they would be in a state of severed healing; if Snipers were cut, it was also hard for Medics to give support. But with the addition of the Healing Sniper Rifle, these problems could be alleviated to a certain extent.

However… the drawbacks were also obvious.

The Healing Sniper Rifle’s setting was different from the Healing Gun. Originally, a Medic could circle around with an Assaulter while healing themselves, grinding the Assaulter to death bit by bit. But the Healing Sniper Rifle couldn’t heal oneself. Unless using a Healing Bottle, once cut, it was basically death.

Moreover, after adding the Armor Value setting for Assaulters, their survivability significantly increased. Coupled with the respawn time now reduced to 15 seconds, the cost of cutting the backline was lowered. It was foreseeable that situations of being beaten up by various Assaulters would only increase, not decrease.

It could be said there were pros and cons.

But overall, it was a good thing.

This meant the compatibility between Medic and Sniper was higher.

Xie Wei said thoughtfully, “The Assaulter’s new secondary weapon can be used as a primary weapon.”

Although the Revolver had low ammo capacity and fire rate, it had high damage and long range. Headshot damage was terrifying. If the aim was accurate, the suppression power could even exceed the original Assault Rifle.

Bai Chen said, “Mn, using the Revolver, the line of fire can be pulled very far. Just that close combat ability is a bit worse.”

Bai Ke said, “Everyone tapping each other from afar. Isn’t this just comparing which side has sneakier positioning, hides better, and has a higher mastery of the map?” He sighed, worrying, “Just joined a new team, originally had to spend effort to mesh, and now such a big change comes out. Just kill me.”

Xu Ziyan said, “But I think the new version should be quite fun.”

Bai Ke rolled his eyes at him. “You, the Son of the Version, of course think it’s fun. Assaulters also got survivability added, so no complaints. But I am a Sniper, a Sniper! Although the Heartbeat Sensor is powerful, it just plainly increases the involution between Snipers. I can already imagine the scenes of you aiming at me with wallhacks, me aiming at you with wallhacks, two Snipers just playing mind games there.”

Xu Ziyan comforted him. “It’s okay. In the future, not only Snipers will aim at you, Medics will also aim at you.”

Bai Ke: “…Then I really thank you.”

However, although the announcement was released so early, implementation would have to wait until after the New Year. Thinking about it now could only give a rough idea. To truly figure out routines and weapon coordination, one still had to wait until after implementation.

Bai Chen looked around and asked, “Uncle and Auntie aren’t here?”

Xie Wei pressed the lock screen, put the phone aside casually, and said, “Mn, went to the company early in the morning.”

Bai Chen gave an “Oh” and took out a laptop from the computer bag he brought.

Xie Wei: “What are you doing?”

Bai Chen raised an eyebrow, expression unchanged, saying very matter-of-factly, “Making up streaming hours.”

Xie Wei said speechlessly, “The month just started.”

Bai Chen said, “Won’t have time later.”

Reminded by him, Xu Ziyan was startled.

Right, Xie Wei said before that after New Year, he would take him to the hot spring resort to play. At that time, it would be absolutely impossible to have the mind to care about streaming.

It was hard for him to find a chance to stream at the Xie house these days. If he wanted to muddle through the hours this month, today was really a good opportunity.

Seeing someone taking the lead right in front of him, Xu Ziyan hurriedly said, “Then I want to make up hours too.”

Bai Ke also fished out his own laptop. “Then I’ll join too.”

Looking at the Bai brothers who had already connected power cords and Wi-Fi with lightning speed, Xie Wei said helplessly, “Xu Ziyan, you go to the study and use my computer. Password is the same as last time.”

Xu Ziyan didn’t rush to get up. He hesitated and looked at Xie Wei. “Captain, aren’t you coming? How about…”

Xie Wei said, “I still have a laptop.”

Bai Ke said, “Wow, that’s great. The four of us can queue together perfectly. I can even leech some traffic off God Xie and God Bai.”

Bai Chen said, “Positions conflict.”

Xie Wei and Bai Ke were both Snipers, and in high rank, it wasn’t appropriate to make anyone fill.

Bai Ke said indifferently, “What does that matter? Ice, do you have a smurf account? The kind in the low-rank fish pond, about three thousand points.”

Although three thousand points wasn’t enough to look at on the ladder leaderboard, it was considered upper-middle level among normal players. Coming from Bai Ke’s mouth, it directly became a fish pond.

Xu Ziyan knew what he wanted to do and said, “Smurfing? The four of us?”

Indeed, many streamers liked to go to low ranks to play against lower-skilled players to increase the stream’s entertainment value. After all, in the fish pond, it was easier to pull off flashy plays.

But… Xu Ziyan looked at the three people in front of him.

Xie Wei, number one on the server, world champion Sniper.

Bai Chen, number six on the server, number two on the Assaulter leaderboard, world champion Assaulter.

Bai Ke: number twenty-three on the server, number four on the Sniper leaderboard, with countless trophies from secondary leagues and various solo tournaments.

Such a group teaming up to smurf in a fish pond?

This wasn’t bombing a fish pond; it was clearly nuking a fish pond with an atomic bomb.

Seeing through his thoughts, Bai Ke smiled slyly. “Yep, just the four of us. However, the positions need a tiny change. Assaulters will be you and me. My brother Sniper. As for Captain Xie, just suffer a bit and play Medic.”

Four members of TWG First String, three streaming simultaneously, plus Bai Ke who was announced not long ago to transfer to YNG like Qu Qingyue—the entire streaming platform’s traffic exploded instantly.

[Holy crap, what’s the situation? Is it New Year already?]

[Mom, I think I’m hallucinating. Otherwise, why would I see God Xie’s channel showing ‘Streaming’?]

[Wow, only God Xiao from TWG isn’t here, right? And there’s KK? Isn’t this Clear’s new teammate Sniper? Shocked, how did these people get together?]

[Cold knowledge: KK is God Bai’s younger brother.]

[Uh, why are all four of them on smurf accounts? Three thousand points? What do pro players mean by coming to three thousand points?]

[Ranking up is already so hard, begging the gods to spare our lives.]

[Wait, something’s wrong. Why did God Xie choose the Medic class?! Does God Xie play Medic!!]

[Omg!!! Did God really hear my prayers TAT Wanted to see God Xie play Medic ages ago!]

Xie Wei found an empty spot on the table nearby. While adjusting settings, he glanced at the bullet comments and smiled. “Yes, today I’m playing Medic.”

[Ahhhhh then who is the Sniper, KK?]

“No,” Xie Wei said. “KK and Ice are Assaulters.”

[So God Bai is the Sniper? Grass, celebrating New Year early. This is too fun.]

[Hmm?? Why do I faintly hear KK’s voice? I’m not in the wrong stream, am I?]

Xie Wei said, “Chen and KK are both at my house, of course you can hear them.”

[??? Shocked!]

Unlike the harmonious style on Xie Wei’s side, after Xu Ziyan started streaming, although no one was scolding him in the chat, but…

[Son of the Version started streaming.]

[Rubbing for good luck.]

[Streamer bless me to succeed in exams this year.]

[Begging for blessing to succeed +1]
