001. Fragments Others Cannot See

"Xiao Jiang, hurry up and run from the gas! What are you still standing there for?"

"What the heck, Jiang Siming, did you disconnect? Why the hell are you running into the gas?"

"Forget about this noob, I'll take Manager Wang to run from the gas first. Manager Wang, you sit behind me, I'll block bullets for you!"

Listening to the voices from his cheap earphones, Jiang Siming, sitting in the internet cafe, stared blankly at his computer screen.

Jiang Siming had graduated from university three years ago and worked as a salesman in a real estate company. Today, he was playing games with two colleagues and their team manager, Manager Wang.

Compared to his two colleagues, Jiang Siming's skills were very poor. He was just there to be the medic and carry ammo.

In fact, he wasn't good at the game, nor was he good at flattering people, so his presence in the game was extremely low, almost negligible.

At this moment, Jiang Siming's computer screen was not frozen, and the game had not disconnected.

It was just that in Jiang Siming's eyes, something different had appeared in his game screen.

While running from the gas, Jiang Siming noticed a white light flashing when he passed by P City.

At first, he thought he had misread it or that the screen was blurry, but after confirming multiple times, Jiang Siming had indeed seen it.

"Hey man, look, is that a light?"

Jiang Siming pointed at the computer and asked a buddy next to him who was also playing PUBG. The other person shook his head and said, "No, what light?"

"It's this white light, can't you see it? It's very bright."

Jiang Siming refused to believe it. Could it be that his eyes were malfunctioning? Cataracts? Did he need to use Shapuaisi to treat his eyes?

"Where's the light? I think you're possessed, hurry up and run from the gas, man, you're almost dead from the gas."

The buddy next to him kindly reminded him and denied it again.

Jiang Siming found it strange. To confirm he wasn't mistaken, he changed direction and went into P City. He quickly located the source of the light, which was in a three-story building.

This was already the third wave of gas, and there wasn't a soul in P City; everyone had run from the gas. Jiang Siming wasn't worried about anyone being in the city, so he boldly charged into the three-story residential building where the light was emanating from.

On the top floor of the third story, Jiang Siming was stunned.

A fragment shaped like a white musical note was quietly floating in the corner. The fragment was emitting a white light, very conspicuous.

But this was clearly not something from the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds!

"Hey, hey, hey, man, look! Is this fragment a new item in the game?"

Jiang Siming exclaimed. The buddy next to him impatiently leaned over again, took a closer look, and said speechlessly, "What fragment? There's nothing in this house, you're messing with me, right?"

"Such a big fragment, so bright, can't you see it? It's right here!"

Jiang Siming pointed at the white musical note fragment on the computer screen. It was quite pretty.

"What fragment, I think you're sick!" The person ignored Jiang Siming, taking him for an idiot.

"How could this be? How could he not see it?" Jiang Siming said in disbelief. Could it be that only he could see this thing?

Driven by curiosity, Jiang Siming decided to find out what this fragment was all about.

He walked over and pressed the pickup key, and a ding sound echoed in his mind.

"Picked up [98k Mastery] fragment * 1 (1/1), fragment count is full, can be used directly."

"Use!"

Without time to be shocked, Jiang Siming vaguely knew that something was wrong.

The moment Jiang Siming chose to use the fragment, a wisp of spiritual energy surged into his mind.

Afterward, Jiang Siming was horrified to discover that his brain was filled with many tips and tricks for using the 98k: instant scope, pre-firing, moving targets, aiming height adjustments, etc. A large amount of information about this sniper rifle in the game.

He happened to be carrying a 98k himself. He wanted to find a tree to test it out, but Manager Wang and the others were impatiently urging him.

"Xiao Jiang, what's wrong with you? Are you stupid? Get out here and bring me a medkit!"

Hearing the manager curse at him, Jiang Siming suppressed his displeasure at being scolded and mumbled an agreement, choosing to obey and run from the gas.

He was no longer the "sunshine campus heartthrob Jiang Siming" from his student days, who was admired by all the girls for his "eloquence and ambition," his "uninhibited nature," and his "aura of righteousness."

The harshness of the workplace was far beyond his imagination.

Although he really wanted to retort, the consequences of the previous few times he had argued with his boss had taught Jiang Siming a bitter lesson.

Otherwise, a top student from a prestigious university like himself wouldn't have ended up as a mere salesman.

Having barely made it out of the gas zone, before Jiang Siming could even use a medkit, he was urged by his two colleagues to hand over all the medical supplies.

"It's no use for you to have the medicine, Xiao Jiang. You just provide cover fire from the side. If any of us go down, you quickly revive us, understand?" Manager Wang said in a commanding tone.

"Okay," Jiang Siming replied casually and said nothing more.

He had given them all the medicine. Jiang Siming knew he could only maintain half health. However, he didn't hand over the 98k, not because they didn't want it, but because they all had one.

So, Jiang Siming was fortunate to have a sniper rifle that he didn't have to hand over. Previously, even the Mini 14 he picked up would have been confiscated by them.

It was just a pity that his 98k only had a red dot sight, making it essentially a fire stick.

In the past, Jiang Siming could have fired this 98k like a wedding salute, making noise but hitting nothing.

But now, Jiang Siming was full of confidence. Even with a red dot sight, he could still get kills!

"I see them! Southeast direction, they're heading this way!" colleague Zhou Qiang shouted.

"Block them. Manager Wang, you have the best aim. I'll go ahead and draw their fire, then you can finish them off," another colleague, Yuan Bing, started flattering again.

Jiang Siming felt speechless inside. He really didn't understand how they could be so sycophantic, praising someone who couldn't even hit targets at close range as having god-tier marksmanship.

However, with enemies approaching, Jiang Siming couldn't afford to mock them anymore. He held his 98k and quietly waited for his prey.

Before long, a full squad appeared from the southeast, but they were still quite far away.

When Zhou Qiang and the others saw the enemy's gear, their expressions turned serious. The opponents were all equipped with Level 3 Armor!

And one of them wore a striking black helmet – a Level 3 Helmet!

"Whoa! The enemy's gear is too good, this is going to be tough."

Level 3 Armor could withstand many bullets, making it very difficult to instantly eliminate an opponent.

Bang!

At that moment, a shot broke the silence. It was Wang Jun who fired.

Impatient, Wang Jun, thinking he could get a quick kill, fired first, exposing their position.

Zhou Qiang and Yuan Bing were internally cursing, but naturally, they wouldn't say it aloud. They could only shout "Open fire!" and join the shooting.

Their hasty shots had minimal effect. The three of them couldn't even take down a single enemy before the opposing team reacted and scrambled for cover behind obstacles.

It was clear this team knew what they were doing. They remained calm, with some throwing smoke grenades and others lobbing frag grenades, all in an orderly fashion.

Instead, Wang Jun and his teammates were rattled by the accurate grenades thrown at them. Wang Jun was even nearly killed.

"Maybe we should leave? Manager Wang, we can't win," Zhou Qiang said, trembling on the ground, frantically using a medkit while speaking to Manager Wang.

"Fine. This team is lucky to have found so much Level 3 Armor. We'll deal with them later," Manager Wang said this 'harsh threat' before turning and running away.
