015. A Very 'Sassy' Escort Player

The Bullet Comments started stirring again, but Tuan Tuan, already well-versed in streaming tricks, held herself back and ignored them.

"Let me say it one more time—Chen Sigou and I are just friends, don't overthink it. The plane's taking off, time to jump!"

With that, Tuan Tuan temporarily set the bullet comments aside and started asking Jiang Siming where to drop.

She was planning to mark a hot-drop spot, but Jiang Siming noticed a green light blinking at a Wild Point on the map.

Surprised, he marked that spot, even though it was a full grid away from the flight path.

Seeing the point Jiang Siming had marked, Tuan Tuan felt a pang of despair.

"Why would he mark a spot like that? He's even more of a camper than I am."

The viewers all laughed.

"Hahahaha, and this guy claims ten games with four chicken dinners?"

"Laughing my ass off. This Brother has such a nice voice, but why is he such a coward? Even I, a girl, wouldn't drop somewhere like that."

"Waiting for them to loot and then die on landing."

"Cancel the order. This guy's too much of a camper, can't stand it. Might as well go find Chen Sigou."

Even though she didn't want to land there, Tuan Tuan still chose to respect Jiang Siming's call.

She'd picked him mostly for his voice; she never believed in his skill from the start.

The two pulled their chutes and landed at the destination. Strangely, Tuan Tuan noticed he hit the ground a few seconds faster than she did!

By the time she landed, Jiang Siming had already finished looting one building.

"Maybe I just didn't pay attention to the drop when I pulled my chute? That must be it."

Without overthinking it, Tuan Tuan started looting too.

"Picked up Reaction Speed Talent Fragment*1 (4/4). Fragment count full, can use directly."

Perfect, finally filled up!

"Use!"

Jiang Siming got his hands on the reaction talent he'd been waiting so long for.

A warm current surged through both his body and mind, an indescribable liveliness spreading through him.

Jiang Siming felt that even though he used to fail at whack-a-mole, if he played it now, he could smash the machine to bits!

The wild area was quickly cleared out. Both of them had terrible gear—Tuan Tuan didn't even have a helmet.

Seeing this, Jiang Siming knew she'd been accommodating him earlier, so he took off his Level 1 Helmet and offered it to her.

"No need, keep it for yourself. My skills aren't great, so it's useless on me anyway." Tuan Tuan politely declined.

But Jiang Siming was even more blunt, replying, "I don't need it either. No one can hit my head. You take it for now; if I need one, I'll strip it off someone's corpse."

With the Reaction Speed Talent in hand, Jiang Siming believed that unless he stood still and let someone snipe him in the head, no one could headshot him.

"Your voice is nice, but you can't brag like that." Tuan Tuan couldn't help but tease.

Jiang Siming didn't argue, just smiled and kept moving.

That actually pleased Tuan Tuan—he might like to brag, but he didn't debate her and humbly accepted her 'lesson.' That earned him some points.

Her impression slightly improved, Tuan Tuan started chatting with Jiang Siming.

She had to keep the stream entertaining; she couldn't just sit there with an escort player in silence.

"Brother, where are you from?"

"Huh? Yunnan."

"Wow! A tourist city! Are you close to Lijiang or Dali?"

"Pretty far. I'm from a small remote town, but the scenery is just as good as Dali or Lijiang."

"Are you single?"

As soon as she said it, Tuan Tuan felt her face flush. Why did she suddenly ask that?

"I just finished over half a year of single life." Jiang Siming replied.

"Wow! A Brother with such a nice voice isn't single? So sad, boohoo!"

"Whoever has a boyfriend like that must have their ears pregnant every day!"

"Haha, good thing he's not single—my Sigou still has a chance."

"Tuan Tuan, give it up. He's already taken."

Just as Tuan Tuan was thinking the same, Jiang Siming added, "Now starting the second half of the year."

"?????"

"Hahahahaha, what a move!"

"Just finished over half a year of single life, now starting the second half—pfft! Quote of the year!"

"Good one, learned it. Gonna post this on Moments and soak up some likes, hehe."

Even Tuan Tuan was amused by Jiang Siming's words—she'd thought he was the serious, boring type.

"So do you know what kind of guy I like?"

Tuan Tuan decided to fire back with a joke too. She figured he'd say no, and then she'd toss out a punchline to tease him.

But who knew Jiang Siming would reply with something so cute it left her dumbstruck.

"I don't dare ask, because I'm afraid I fit it all."

Damn!

The sudden flirt, paired with that amazing voice, made Tuan Tuan admit she was blushing.

The Live Stream Room instantly erupted.

"Aish, spitting out jokes on the spot? Impressive!"

"Haha, tried to tease a guy and got teased back instead. Tuan Tuan, you're slipping."

"Little Brother's so cheeky, I love it, uwu~"

"If Chen Sigou had this much social savvy, he'd probably have won her over by now."

"Laughing so hard I slapped my Bentley and popped out four Nanfu Batteries!"

"Feels like Chen Sigou's in trouble—this escort player's got some skills."

The Bullet Comments suddenly got back on track thanks to Jiang Siming's two lines, something Tuan Tuan hadn't expected at all.

This escort little brother was pretty nice—aside from not seeing his gaming skills yet, he met all her other requirements.

Tuan Tuan decided that if he kept this up, even if he played terribly, she'd still be willing to carry him.

To keep the momentum going, she wanted to keep trading jokes with Jiang Siming, but racked her brain and came up empty.

She was about to say something else when Jiang Siming cut her off.

"130 degrees northeast, I see someone."

Enemies appeared, and Tuan Tuan temporarily shelved the idea of making everyone laugh, diving into the game instead.

Sure enough, in a half-finished building far off, two sneaky figures were hopping around looting.

"Shh! Don't shoot. We'll sneak over quiet-like, no firing, slip into the village unnoticed, got it?"

Tuan Tuan lowered her voice, as if the enemies could hear her if she spoke up.

Jiang Siming wanted to just take the shot and finish it, but remembering she was the client, not a solo queue, he had to consider her gaming experience, so he agreed.

The two crept toward the occupied building, and along the way, Jiang Siming got startled more than once.

Not by enemies spotting him, but by the female client overreacting—every few steps, she'd yell at him to drop and hide.

Jumping and shouting like that made Jiang Siming's life 'miserable.'

Finally, they made it to close range, crouching on either side of a wall.

"One guy's come out. I'll take him out. Don't move yet, cover the right side." Tuan Tuan directed—ambushing was something she did often.

"Mm, okay." Jiang Siming agreed cooperatively and stayed put.
