Chapter 154 Limited Practice

"Instances aren't very interesting," Ye Xiu said to Tang Rou. "However, if you want to improve, these monotonous and boring exercises are unavoidable. That's just how it is."

Ye Xiu simply said this, without any touching examples or tempting persuasiveness.

"Understood," Tang Rou replied. This answer was expected by Ye Xiu, as he had long believed that this principle didn't need much explanation for Tang Rou. The reason was none other than her hand speed.

Tang Rou's hand speed couldn't have appeared out of nowhere; it must have been the result of long-term practice. Therefore, Ye Xiu believed that Tang Rou should have experienced the hardship and tedium of practice. Now, Ye Xiu just needed to tell her that frequently running instances also belonged to this kind of boring exercise. One or two times wouldn't show any results; the important thing was persistence.

"Although killing monsters and running instances can be mechanical, treating them seriously in the long run is very helpful for training concentration, operational stability, and precision. You have absolute hand speed now, but when you need to perform some delicate and complex micro-operations, your hand speed can't be fully utilized. You can try setting a fixed attack point for your attack target, for example, always hitting the head. Use this kind of limitation to force yourself to do more micro-operations and train your control over operations. We call this method limited practice."

After explaining the principle, Ye Xiu further proposed specific practice methods.

Limited practice was not unfamiliar to Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan, professional players in the pro scene. This was a special basic training method in Glory. The principle was to artificially set conditions to increase the difficulty of operation.

Limited practice was simple and easy to implement. Even without a computer or a game, it could be done with a piece of paper and a pen. Of course, professional e-sports clubs weren't so crude; they would compile special mini-programs to achieve various operation exercises.

And this kind of practice was what professional players hated the most. This simple and direct operational practice was so boring and tedious that they wanted to die.

It was like soccer and basketball: training with a ball was always more popular than training without a ball. Glory's professional players also preferred manipulating Glory characters to do various things, rather than repeatedly completing an operation with a keyboard and mouse in such a dry manner.

However, everyone had to admit that although this boring training was unmotivating, it had the best effect because it was highly targeted.

Regarding Tang Rou, Ye Xiu wouldn't doubt this girl's perseverance and tenacity, but he still wanted to see how big Tang Rou's determination was. After all, this girl's passion for Glory had always been questionable. She had perseverance, but was she willing to use her perseverance in this game?

"Always hit the head?" Tang Rou was obviously ready to accept the practice content that Ye Xiu mentioned.

"Hitting the head is just my example, see what's convenient for you," Ye Xiu said.

"These are all bugs, it's really hard to tell where the head is, I'll just hit its first segment!" Tang Rou said. This First一线 Gorge instance was full of sandworms and poisonous scorpions, and the "head" was indeed not easy to define. Fortunately, these two kinds of reptiles had bamboo-like patterns on their bodies, so Tang Rou decided to use the first segment circled by the patterns as the limited attack target.

"Okay," Ye Xiu responded, and at the same time called out to Steamed Bun Invasion, "Steamed Bun, do you want to accept a challenge?"

"Oh? A challenge? As a man, can I refuse such a thing?" Steamed Bun Invasion said, and rushed over very mightily.

"Okay. From now on, when attacking, you are only allowed to hit the first segment of these reptiles' bodies, understand?" Ye Xiu said.

"Oh? The first segment?" Steamed Bun Invasion looked at the reptiles to study the concept of "first segment".

"Let's see which of you two can kill more efficiently under such limited conditions. The three of us won't give you any help," Ye Xiu said, as his Lord Grim retreated to the side and stood with Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan's characters. Although this Qiao Yifan came to ask Ye Xiu for advice, such training was really unnecessary. This was the basic course he had to complete every day in the club. He was pursuing something at a higher level.

Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan also knew that Ye Xiu was deliberately training these two newcomers, so after clearing the monsters at hand, they didn't open any new ones. There were exactly two sandworms and two poisonous scorpions on the field, and for Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion's skills, it wasn't too much of a problem to fight two enemies each.

"One person, two each," Tang Rou said to Steamed Bun Invasion.

Steamed Bun Invasion laughed, "Ladies first."

Tang Rou's Soft Mist stepped forward, taking away one sandworm and one poisonous scorpion each. The attack position was indeed the first segment of the two reptiles' bodies. However, these four reptiles were linked by mutual hatred, so Tang Rou moved one of each, and in the end, all four surrounded her.

At this time, Steamed Bun Invasion appeared like a star, flying over and smashing one with a brick, and the attack position was also the first segment. Then, for another poisonous scorpion, Steamed Bun Invasion stretched out his hand and threw a handful of sand. After throwing it, he was stunned again, and shouted, "Boss, how is this sand toss counted?"

"As long as you throw it," Ye Xiu laughed. Sand Toss was like a shotgun, and it was impossible to limit it to a certain part. It was just a splash when thrown out.

"Then I didn't break the rules this time!" Steamed Bun Invasion shouted.

"No, keep up the good work!" Ye Xiu said.

The two took their respective two reptiles to the side and killed them without interfering with each other. The three stood aside and watched, and Ye Xiu suddenly opened his mouth: "Who do you think is better?"

"Uh...Steamed Bun!" Su Mucheng spoke first.

Qiao Yifan waited for a while, as if he had thought about it carefully, and then carefully expressed his opinion: "I also think it might be Steamed Bun."

"It seems obvious!" Ye Xiu said.

If only hand speed was considered, Tang Rou was obviously stronger than Steamed Bun Invasion. But even Ye Xiu couldn't judge Tang Rou's operational hand speed. It was simply because Tang Rou's operational hand speed fluctuated too much.

She herself had extremely high hand speed, and this hand speed needed to be digested in the game. The degree of digestion was different in different situations. Sometimes, Tang Rou's hand speed could be as high as 200, or even 250. But when it came to some complex and detailed situations that required high precision, her hand speed would drop drastically, 150, or even lower, depending entirely on the situation.

And Steamed Bun Invasion was different in this regard. After all, he was a guy with rich gaming experience, and his hand speed had been digested very well, with considerable stability. The operating hand speed was basically maintained at 180-200, and even when encountering complex situations, it wouldn't jump out of this range too much.

Limited practice was a training method that deliberately created complex situations.

The reptiles that could originally be attacked all over the body were now limited to the "first segment", which was equivalent to reducing the size of the target, which naturally increased the requirements for the player's operational precision.

And Tang Rou's hand speed would be limited due to the lack of precision in her operation, which Ye Xiu could be sure of. As for Steamed Bun Invasion, just a "first segment" was probably not difficult for him. If he wanted to carry out limited training for Steamed Bun Invasion, Ye Xiu would design more refined limited conditions for him.

Now this limited practice was actually set up specifically for Tang Rou. Ye Xiu hoped to help Tang Rou take a good look at her shortcomings. Although her shortcomings were extremely obvious in the eyes of Ye Xiu and the others, it was better for Tang Rou to experience it herself than to tell her.

After that, the process of the two killing monsters completely verified the three's conjecture.

The limited conditions reduced the efficiency of the two in killing monsters, but Steamed Bun Invasion's attack was still smooth and flowing, while Tang Rou's attack target limitation made her seem a little stretched.

As expected, Steamed Bun Invasion killed two reptiles first, but Tang Rou was not much slower. Before long, the two reptiles on her side were finally slapped to the ground.

"How do you feel?" Ye Xiu asked the two.

"It's very simple!" Steamed Bun Invasion actually preempted Tang Rou's catchphrase. Tang Rou was silent. Even if Steamed Bun Invasion didn't say it, she herself was embarrassed to say it. If she was just doing this exercise alone, she might not have felt it, but having Steamed Bun Invasion next to her for comparison made Tang Rou realize the difficulty of this exercise.

"You still have many mistakes," Ye Xiu said.

"I know, six times..." Tang Rou knew in her heart that she had made a total of six operational errors, hitting parts of the reptiles that were not the first segment.

"Six times you hit other parts, and three times you missed completely. In total, there were nine mistakes," Ye Xiu of course helped Tang Rou count.

"I'll try again," Tang Rou said.

"Come on!" Steamed Bun Invasion responded heroically.

"Not busy, not busy. You can do this kind of practice at any time. Let's clear the instance first," Ye Xiu said.

After all, running the instance took up the team's public time. Although Tang Rou was eager, she was embarrassed to say that she would continue and everyone would continue to watch. So the instance continued, and Ye Xiu reminded, "Actually, when killing monsters now, you can continue to treat the 'first segment' as a limited condition! It's the same as practice."

Tang Rou decisively adopted Ye Xiu's suggestion, so she only hit the "first segment" when killing monsters in the instance, even when facing the Boss, she was persistent in this condition setting.

"Don't try to avoid mistakes during high-speed attacks. You can slow down first, make sure there are no mistakes, and then try to increase your hand speed gradually, step by step, don't rush." After running an instance, Ye Xiu summarized for Tang Rou. The five were automatically teleported out of the instance and were preparing to go straight back in, but Ye Xiu caught sight of a familiar ID.
