Technology Surges

011. Skills Skyrocket!

Luckily, the small map was packed with loot. After searching just one trench bunker, Jiang Siming found an AK Rifle, along with a Level 1 helmet and Level 1 vest.

Even without a scope, Jiang Siming didn't care anymore. He dashed out of the trench bunker and began the slaughter.

The first enemy had just finished looting too, running into Jiang Siming face-to-face.

His dark, grimy face seemed to radiate the joy of finding good loot and the fantasy of racking up kills in a fierce battle.

"Perfect timing, watch how Daddy takes you out!"

The dark-faced brute saw Jiang Siming but had no idea death was already closing in. He still raised his gun with fighting spirit, aiming.

But to his shock, before he could fire a single shot, before he could even pull the trigger—

Without a helmet, he was taken out by a single AK bullet from Jiang Siming. Just one shot, a single tap, effortless and casual.

Jiang Siming glanced at the Loot Box on the ground.

No fragments.

He casually went over, grabbed some ammo, and took the Level 3 Armor too. The armor was still full durability—nice.

He kept hunting for enemies.

Just as he stepped out of the trench, gunfire from an M4 rang out from the window of the central building. Someone had been lying in ambush early on.

Jiang Siming took two hits, but the Level 3 Armor's durability barely dropped.

No panic at all.

Jiang Siming spun around and mowed down the camper at the window with a headshot burst.

Ding!

A light flashed! A white glow lit up inside the window.

Jiang Siming was thrilled. He rushed upstairs and picked up the White Fragment.

"Picked up Parachuting Mastery*1 (1/1). Fragment count full, can be used immediately."

Perfect! A pillow just when he needed a nap!

But before he could celebrate, while he was staring at the fragment in a daze, someone sneaked up and ambushed him. He collapsed in a pool of blood.

Jiang Siming wasn't annoyed at all. Grinning, he quickly clicked to start the next round.

Another small map.

Without a second thought, Jiang Siming jumped straight toward Sad City again.

This time, with his Parachuting Mastery, he landed a full three seconds faster than the fastest random player.

On average, he was about five seconds quicker than everyone else.

This discovery had Jiang Siming overjoyed. Five seconds—that was enough time to do a lot!

The fastest random player landed at the same target as Jiang Siming. When he saw Jiang Siming, he nearly had a heart attack.

"What the hell! How is this guy parachuting so fast?" HUYA streamer Lafeng Long stared at Jiang Siming on his screen and even cursed out loud.

The moment he hit the ground, a hail of bullets greeted him, turning him into a neat wooden Loot Box.

"Player ming killed player HUYA_Lflong with QBZ"

"Whoa, what the hell is this? Parachuting that fast? I just landed and he's already picked up a gun and loaded it. How am I supposed to play?"

Even so, he had no choice but to quit and restart. This round was a total loss of game experience.

With the Parachuting Mastery talent, Jiang Siming was like a fish in water.

After taking out the second player to land, Jiang Siming glanced up at the sky. Plenty of people were still floating down with their chutes, looking utterly adorable and clueless.

Without hesitation, Jiang Siming aimed his gun at the sky and started shooting birds.

"Player ming killed player skt_faker with QBZ"

"Player ming killed player nidieshiwo with QBZ"

"Player ming killed player shishilani with QBZ"

He shot down three "birds" in a row. Within ten meters above Jiang Siming, there were no more living things.

"Haha, this is way too satisfying."

For someone with his godlike aim, fast parachuting was like adding nitrous to a Sports Car—a perfect combo, unstoppable!

After emptying thirty rounds, the people in the sky had all landed. Only then did Jiang Siming continue looting on the rooftop.

The reason so many people jumped to the center was simple—it was incredibly rich.

After just a quick sweep, Jiang Siming already had a Level 2 helmet, Level 3 Armor, a fully kitted QBZ, and an AK.

He had a DMR too, but Jiang Siming wasn't great with DMRs.

Among sniper skills, he only knew the Kar98k. He might as well just carry two rifles.

With his gear already stacked, Jiang Siming had no interest in looting further. His only thought was slaughter.

As soon as he reached the rooftop, Jiang Siming spotted a dark-skinned girl looting in a nearby low-rise building.

She was searching so obliviously.

Suddenly!

Then she collapsed and died miserably, never even seeing her killer's face.

Uh, that was a bit of a nasty habit—next time he'd better pick a different spot to shoot from.

The gunfire also gave away Jiang Siming's position. A player holding a sniper rifle was hiding on the roof of a three-story concrete building and started firing at Jiang Siming in quick succession.

After taking one hit, Jiang Siming immediately pinpointed the enemy's location, swung his gun around, and aimed down the sights.

The muzzle flash of the six-times-scoped QBZ flared in an instant. From fifty meters away, the bullets were compressed into a single point, cleanly executing that sniper guy.

Six-times scope recoil control!

For Jiang Siming now, it was no challenge at all—he could even control an AK with a six-times scope.

One kill, not even a scratch, and he kept hunting!

Arrogant as Jiang Siming was, the two rifles in his hands were like Hell Reapers claiming lives.

Every time he fired, a head fell.

This round's Sad City had turned into a Purgatory Field, and soon there were no other survivors left.

In Sad City, a white light, a green light, and a gold light flashed. Jiang Siming was overjoyed.

"Picked up Reaction Speed Talent*1 (1/4). Fragment count insufficient, cannot use yet."

"Picked up Win94 Mastery*1 (1/1). Fragment count full, can use directly."

"Picked up 10,000*1 (1/1). Fragment count full, can use directly."

One was Win94 Mastery, a sniper rifle nobody ever touched.

The other was a green fragment for Reaction Speed Talent, but it needed four fragments to combine, so Jiang Siming couldn't use it yet.

But once he gathered them all, Jiang Siming believed his skills would definitely reach a new level.

Many of his deaths came from being ambushed, unable to react in time, and dying regretfully.

His in-game reaction speed was pretty average. If he could get a boost, Jiang Siming was sure his chicken dinner rate would more than double.

Jiang Siming noticed that white fragments were mostly skill-type, gold were money-type—these were pretty common.

But green ones like Reaction Speed Talent and purple ones like Primary Gene Potion had very low spawn rates.

Coming out of Sad City, Jiang Siming was as loaded as a landlord's spoiled son.

This round was lucky—no Old Sneaks, and he finally got the chicken dinner! 18 kills!

After the chicken dinner, he got another green Reaction Speed Talent fragment. Jiang Siming happily started the next round.

All night long, Jiang Siming buried himself in various maps of PUBG.

Like he was possessed, he got chicken dinners in almost five out of ten games!

The only things that could kill him were getting ambushed, the Doom Circle, being swarmed, or bad eyesight missing an enemy.

In one night, Jiang Siming got 9 chicken dinners total.

He also got 4 white fragments, 3 gold fragments, 1 red fragment, and 1 green fragment.

The gold fragments were all money, totaling 10,000.

The white fragments were All PUBG Maps Mastery, Grenade Mastery, Fist Mastery, and SKS Mastery—all game skills.

The green one was still Reaction Speed Talent. Jiang Siming had already gathered 3, just one short!

The last one was the first red fragment he'd ever dropped—Singing Talent. But this fragment needed 5 to unlock.

All in all, that night, Jiang Siming had a very fruitful haul.

And after the gene potion transformation, Jiang Siming's physical condition was excellent. Even after pulling an all-nighter, he was still full of energy.

Just as he was hesitating whether to sleep or keep playing, Jiang Siming heard a knock at the door.
