E-Sports Boss Wants To Post Messages With New Players Every Day Chapter 49

Xie Wei and Xu Ziyan hadn’t had time to look at this yesterday, so upon hearing it now, they both instinctively picked up their phones and logged into the official Resist website.

Version updates and professional adjustments during the off-season are common, but major changes, especially during the mid-season break, are quite rare.

Clicking open the version update announcement, Xu Ziyan quickly skimmed through the large sections of official boilerplate and bug fixes, flipping directly to the changes.

[To ensure game balance, increase the diversity of competitive content, and improve professional adaptability, Resist will undergo a version update with the following changes.]

[All]

[Due to the current fast pace of the game, all character health is now adjusted to 200.]

[Revival time is adjusted from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.]

[Classes]

[Assault Player: In conjunction with the health adjustment, weapon damage is increased by fifty percent. Critical hit damage is increased by ten percent. The secondary weapon “Grenade” is removed. The secondary weapon “Revolver” is added. Armor value setting is added; you now receive initial armor every time you leave the spawn point, with an armor value equal to fifty percent of your health.]

[Sniper: In conjunction with the health adjustment, weapon damage is increased by fifty percent, and headshot damage is adjusted to 250. The secondary weapon “Heartbeat Detector” is added.]

[Medic: The original main weapon “Healing Gun” is renamed “Healing Rifle,” and the maximum bullet capacity is adjusted to 25 rounds, usable for healing oneself and teammates. The main weapon “Healing Sniper Rifle” is added, equipped with a sniper scope, with a maximum bullet capacity of 15 rounds, usable for healing teammates but not oneself, and does not deal critical damage when damaging enemies.]

[Weapons]

[Heartbeat Detector (Sniper): Can only be used twice per match. When activated, it allows the entire team to see the enemy’s location for fifteen seconds.]

[Taser (Medic): Increases the number of Taser uses; you can now use the Taser four times in one match.]

[Healing Vial (Medic): Adds a damage effect. When you use a Healing Vial, you can now deal damage to the enemy equal to the healing effect, while increasing the healing effect received by friendly characters by twenty percent and increasing the damage received by enemy characters by twenty percent, lasting for five seconds.]

Xu Ziyan read through it carefully, then subconsciously turned to look at Xie Wei, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

Xie Wei seemed to sense it, turning his face and smiling at him: “That’s great. I’m really looking forward to your performance afterward.”

Bai Ke shrugged: “The entire Weibo is tagging you right now, saying you’re the ‘Child of the Version,’ Resist’s favorite son. But it’s true, who would have thought that one update would significantly strengthen the two niche secondary weapons you like to use?”

Originally, the Medic’s role was just a healing bottle providing sustain for the entire team. However, this major overhaul directly adjusted the Medic from a healing bottle to a support offense role.

Not only that, but it also increased the main weapon options. The original Healing Gun, due to range issues and the usage distance of armor packs, forced the Medic to restrict their positioning around the Assault Player and made it difficult to support the team’s Sniper.

But with the addition of the Healing Sniper Rifle and the significant enhancement of long-range healing methods like the Healing Vial, this means the Medic now has more positioning options than before, and can provide more resource support.

Previously, if an Assault Player flanked too far, they would be cut off from healing; if a Sniper was flanked, it was difficult for the Medic to provide support. However, with the addition of the Healing Sniper Rifle, these issues can be alleviated to some extent.

However… the drawbacks are also obvious.

The Healing Sniper Rifle’s setup is different from the Healing Gun. Originally, a Medic could circle around with an Assault Player while healing themselves, slowly wearing down the Assault Player. But the Healing Sniper Rifle cannot heal the user, so unless a Healing Vial is used, being flanked basically means certain death.

Moreover, the Assault Player’s survivability has significantly increased with the addition of armor values. Coupled with the revival time now being reduced to 15 seconds, the cost of flanking has decreased. It is foreseeable that the situation of being relentlessly beaten by various Assault Players will only increase, not decrease.

So, there are pros and cons.

However, overall, it’s a good thing.

This means that the compatibility between Medics and Snipers is now higher.

Xie Wei mused: “The new secondary weapon for the Assault Player can be used as a main weapon.”

Although the Revolver has low ammo capacity and fire rate, it deals high damage, has long range, and its headshot damage is terrifying. If the aim is accurate, its suppressive power can even exceed the original assault rifle.

Bai Chen said: “Yes, using the Revolver allows the firing line to be pulled very far, but the close-combat ability is a bit lacking.”

Bai Ke said: “Everyone is poking each other from a distance. Isn’t this just a competition of who has the more cautious positioning, who is better at hiding, and who has a higher mastery of the map?” He sighed, worriedly saying: “I just joined a new team, and I already have to worry about synergy. Now there’s such a massive change. Just kill me now.”

Xu Ziyan said: “But I think the new version will be quite fun.”

Bai Ke rolled his eyes at him: “Of course you, the Child of the Version, think it’s fun. Assault Players also gained survivability, so they have no complaints. But I’m a Sniper, a Sniper! While the Heartbeat Detector is powerful, it just increases the internal competition among Snipers. I can already imagine the scene where you’re aiming at me with wallhacks, and I’m aiming at you with wallhacks, with two Snipers scheming against each other.”

Xu Ziyan comforted him: “It’s okay, in the future, it won’t just be Snipers aiming at you, Medics will be aiming at you too.”

Bai Ke: “…Well, thank you very much.”

Although the announcement was released this early, the actual implementation won’t be until after the New Year. No matter how much they think about it now, they can only make rough predictions. Truly figuring out strategies and weapon combinations will have to wait until the implementation.

Bai Chen looked around and asked: “Are your aunt and uncle not here?”

Xie Wei locked his phone, casually placing it aside, and replied: “No, they went to the company early this morning.”

Bai Chen said “Oh,” and took out his laptop from his computer bag.

Xie Wei: “What are you doing?”

Bai Chen raised an eyebrow, his expression unchanged, stating matter-of-factly: “Making up my streaming hours.”

Xie Wei said speechlessly: “This month just started.”

Bai Chen said: “I won’t have time later.”

Reminded by him, Xu Ziyan was startled.

That’s right, Xie Wei had mentioned before that after the New Year, he would take him to the hot spring resort, and at that time, he definitely wouldn’t have the mind to worry about streaming.

These days, it was also difficult for him to find opportunities to stream at the Xie family. If he wanted to accumulate hours this month, today was indeed a good opportunity.

Since there was already someone taking the lead, Xu Ziyan quickly said: “Then I want to make up my hours too.”

Bai Ke also pulled out his laptop: “Then I’ll join in too.”

Xie Wei looked at the Bai brothers, who had connected their power cords and wireless network with lightning speed, and said helplessly: “Xu Ziyan, go to the study and use my computer. The password is the same as last time.”

Xu Ziyan didn’t rush to get up, hesitating for a moment, then looked at Xie Wei: “Captain, aren’t you joining? Or maybe…”

Xie Wei said: “I have another laptop.”

Bai Ke said: “Wow, that’s great. The four of us can queue together. I can even piggyback on God Xie and God Bai’s traffic.”

Bai Chen said: “Our roles conflict.”

Both Xie Wei and Bai Ke are Snipers, and they are in the high-rank segment. It wouldn’t be appropriate for either of them to fill another role.

Bai Ke didn’t care: “What’s the big deal? Ice, do you have a smurf account? One in the low-rank ‘fish pond,’ around three thousand points.”

Although three thousand points isn’t impressive on the Ladder Ranking, it’s considered upper-middle level among normal players. Now, in Bai Ke’s mouth, it was directly called a fish pond.

Xu Ziyan knew what he was planning: “Smurfing? The four of us?”

It’s true that many streamers like to play against lower-skilled players in low-rank segments to increase the watchability of their streams. After all, in the fish pond, it’s easier to pull off flashy plays.

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

Xie Wei, Server Rank 1, World Champion Sniper.

Bai Chen, Server Rank 6, Assault Rank 2, World Champion Assault Player.

Bai Ke: Server Rank 23, Sniper Rank 4, with countless trophies from Secondary Leagues and various solo events.

These few people teaming up to smurf in a fish pond?

This wasn’t just smurfing; it was dropping an atomic bomb on the fish pond.

Seeing through his thoughts, Bai Ke smiled cunningly: “Yes, the four of us. However, the roles need a slight change. You and I will be Assault Players, my brother will be the Sniper, and as for Captain Xie, you’ll have to make do and play Medic.”

With four members of TWG’s A-Team, three of them streaming simultaneously, plus Bai Ke, who had recently announced his transfer to YNG along with Qu Qingyue, the entire streaming platform instantly exploded with traffic.

[WTF, what’s going on? Is it New Year’s already?]

[Mom, I think I’m hallucinating. Otherwise, why would God Xie’s stream show that he’s live?]

[Wow, only God Xiao from TWG isn’t here, and there’s KK? Isn’t this Clear’s new teammate Sniper? I’m shocked, how did these people get together.]

[Fun fact: KK is God Bai’s younger brother.]

[Uh, why are all four of them using smurf accounts, three thousand points? What does it mean for professional players to be at three thousand points?]

[Climbing the ranks is hard enough. Please, great gods, spare us.]

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

[OMG!!! Did the gods really hear my prayers TAT I’ve wanted to see God Xie play Medic for so long!]

Xie Wei found an empty spot on a nearby table, adjusting his settings. He took a moment to look at the bullet screen and smiled: “Yes, I’m playing Medic today.”

[Ahhhhh, then who is the Sniper, KK?]

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

[So God Bai is the Sniper? Holy crap, it feels like New Year’s early for me. This is too fun.]

[Hmm?? Why do I vaguely hear KK’s voice? I didn’t switch streams, did I?]

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

[??? Shocked!]

Unlike the harmonious atmosphere on Xie Wei’s side, after Xu Ziyan started streaming, there were no insults in his chat, but…

[The Child of the Version is streaming.]

[Rubbing off some good luck.]

[Streamer, please bless me to successfully pass my exams this year.]

[Bless me to pass my exams +1]

[I forwarded every single Weibo post TAT Lucky Koi, look at me.]

Xu Ziyan: …

Are you guys serious?
