Everyone has their own little habits when playing games. Xie Jianyuan prefers to use a 6x scope adjusted to 3x, as this makes recoil control more stable.
He didn't rush to fire first. Instead, he positioned himself slightly ahead of the running man, silently counting the beats in his mind, and then—fired.
Xu Chun didn't even see anyone, only heard a series of gunshots, and then the screen showed: [xiejianyuan used an M416 to knock down shaokao]
"Holy crap! You're so steady with that 6x scope? You haven't missed more than a few shots."
"I adjusted the scope," Xie Jianyuan said calmly.
At this moment, the computer screen showed that only six people were still alive. The person Xie Jianyuan had just knocked down was finished off by Jiang Jiang, so now, apart from their team of four, there were only two enemies left.
The remaining two shouldn't be on the same team.
Just after he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out, and the screen displayed the message that a player had been killed, presumably by the remaining player.
"Only one left! We won!" Jiang Jiang excitedly announced the victory.
His skills are top-notch among entertainment streamers, even surpassing some technical streamers, and he is very popular. This is one of the reasons why Maoya and the game's promotion staff arranged for him to appear.
However, the main reason is that his father is the largest shareholder of this platform, making him a Chun Chun second-generation rich kid. Fans are aware of this background, and many haters even mock him by calling him "Crown Prince."
Jiang Jiang didn't mind the nickname; in his opinion, it even sounded somewhat imposing.
Wei Jiahe then said, "How about I throw a grenade? I think he's down the slope."
"No—" Xie Jianyuan hadn't finished speaking when he heard a deafening thunderclap in his ear, and then he saw that two of his teammates' health bars below had turned red.
"Holy crap! Who bombed me?" Jiang Jiang was furious.
Wei Jiahe was also knocked down by the explosion, and when he heard Jiang Jiang's question, he was too frightened to utter a sound.
"Help me, there's still hope for me," Jiang Jiang pleaded with Xu Chun, who was closest to her.
Xu Chun also lost more than half of his blood in the lightning strike, but upon hearing Jiang Jiang's pleading voice, he immediately went over to her.
There's only one reason: because he doesn't know what he's supposed to be doing standing there.
Unfortunately, misfortune never comes singly. By this time, the poison circle had shrunk behind Xu Chun and soon arrived beside them. Xu Chun first helped Jiang Jiang, who was closest to him. Seeing his own health bar decreasing little by little, it felt like an eternity.
"Brother Chun, don't save him, come back," Xie Jianyuan said calmly and briefly.
Xu Chun was slightly taken aback. She wanted to give up, but the rescue display on the screen showed that there were still 0.23 seconds left. So she hesitated, and by the time she came to her senses, it was too late.
Xu Chun was also poisoned and collapsed to the ground. Xie Jianyuan that Xu Chun's health bar had turned red, which distracted him. In that moment of distraction, he saw a head quickly peek out from behind a rock, followed by a gunshot.
Suddenly, the screen went black in front of him. He stared blankly at the number 2 displayed on it, clearly not having reacted at all.
"We lost."
At this moment, the live chat exploded with comments.
"2333 Esports is full of surprises; a one-against-four team was wiped out."
"Xie Jianyuan really has a family to support; it's truly remarkable that he's managed to hold on until now."
"How to wipe out your teammates with a single grenade."
"Xiao He is making me laugh so hard! Can't you do something to make your mom proud? 2333"
Wei Jiahe, that good-for-nothing, has been dragging Chun Chun down the whole time.
"Is the person upstairs a hater of Xu Chun?"
Xu Chun turned to look at Xie Jianyuan beside her, and saw him resting his chin on one hand, looking at her with his head slightly turned. When she turned her head, she met his pair of dark and beautiful eyes.
Xu Chun lowered her voice, saying with some regret, "If it weren't for me distracting you just now..."
"It's alright, Brother Chun," Xie Jianyuan said calmly. "It's because I'm not as skilled as others."
Jiang Jiang then said, "I think I know who the person who wiped out our team was."
"Who is it?" Xu Chun asked curiously.
Jiang Jiang said with a complicated expression, "One of our platform's most skilled streamers is a retired professional gamer."
Xu Chun looked on with suspicion.
After he finished speaking, he patted Xu Chun on the shoulder, "Think positively. Even if Brother Wei hadn't thrown that grenade, we would have just died in a different way."
"Wow, she's that amazing..." Xu Chun never expected to run into someone like her, let alone such a talented streamer.
Since failing to get the chicken meant mission failure, the punishment for failure was drawn by Xu Chun and his team. The staff wrote down the collected punishments on small slips of paper, put them in a transparent box, and then people would choose from them.
Jiang Jiang was the one who drew the slip of paper. He had been silently praying that he wouldn't see his own name, but when he nervously opened it and saw the two names on it, he immediately beamed with joy.
"Hey, Xu Chun, Xie Jianyuan, it's the two of you."
Xu Chun's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "What is it?"
Jiang Jiang glanced at it again, then her expression turned strange. Suppressing a laugh, she pulled out the note and handed it to him, saying, "See for yourself."
Xu Chun quickly took it and looked at it, and saw several large characters on it.
Xie Jianyuan did push-ups on Xu Chun.
He mumbled the words aloud in a daze. Xie Jianyuan was taken aback when he heard this, then raised an eyebrow imperceptibly.
Wei Jiahe glanced at Xu Chun's anxious face, then at Xie Jianyuan beside her, who seemed to be in a good mood. When Xie Jianyuan looked at her, he even nodded affirmatively at her.
Wei Jiahe:... I really didn't mean to help you.
A few staff members placed a foam mat on the ground, while the rest adjusted the live stream camera.
At this point, the live chat was completely buzzing with excitement.
"Oh no, Mom! I need to take a screenshot!"
