A Rather Cheeky Gaming Companion

The barrage rhythm started up again, but Tuan Tuan, already well-versed in live-streaming routines, restrained herself and ignored it.

"I'll state this again: Chen Sigou and I are just friends. Don't overthink things. The plane has taken off, and the parachute jump begins!"

With that, Tuan Tuan temporarily ignored the chat barrage and started asking Jiang Siming where they should jump.

Jiang Siming originally intended to mark a hot-drop location, but he noticed a green light flashing on a wild point on the map.

In pleasant surprise, he marked that spot, even though it was a full large grid away from the flight path.

Seeing the spot Jiang Siming marked, Tuan Tuan felt despair in her heart.

Why did he mark a spot like that? He's even more cowardly at scavenging than I am.

The viewers all laughed.

"Hahahaha, someone like this even dares call himself four chicken dinners out of ten games?"

"I'm dying. This little brother's voice sounds so nice, how can he be such a coward? Even I as a girl wouldn't jump to a place like this."

"Waiting for them to loot everything and turn into a box upon landing."

"Cancel the order. A guy like this is way too cowardly, can't bear to watch. Might as well find Chen Sigou."

Although she didn't want to land there, Tuan Tuan still chose to respect Jiang Siming for this round.

She chose Jiang Siming mostly because of his voice; she never believed in his skill from the very beginning.

The two of them pulled their parachutes and landed at their destination. Strangely, Tuan Tuan found that her partner landed a few seconds faster than her!

By the time she landed, Jiang Siming had already finished looting a house.

Could it be that I didn't pay attention to the descent when I pulled my parachute earlier? It must be.

Without overthinking, Tuan Tuan also started looting items.

Picked up Reaction Speed Talent Fragment *1 (4/4). Fragment count is full, can be used directly.

Great, it was finally full!

"Use!"

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

A warm current surged through his body and head at the same time, and his entire body possessed an indescribable spiritual energy.

Jiang Siming felt that if he played Whack-a-Mole now—a game he couldn't even clear previously—he could smash the machine to pieces!

The wild area was quickly looted, and both of their equipment was terrible. Tuan Tuan didn't even have a helmet.

Seeing this, Jiang Siming knew that the other party had been accommodating him earlier, so he took off the Level 1 Helmet from his own head.

"No need, you use it yourself. My skill isn't very good, it's useless even if you give it to me," Tuan Tuan kindly declined.

However, Jiang Siming was even more ruthless in his reply: "I don't need it either. Nobody can hit my head, you take it first. If I want one, I'll strip it off someone else's corpse."

Jiang Siming, who now had the Reaction Speed Talent in hand, believed that unless he stood still and let an enemy sniper aim at his head, no one could headshot him.

"Even though your voice sounds nice, you shouldn't boast like that." Tuan Tuan couldn't help complaining.

Hearing this, Jiang Siming didn't argue. He smiled and then set off again.

This point actually made Tuan Tuan quite satisfied. Although the other person loved to brag, he didn't debate with her, accepting her 'education' with an open mind. For this point alone, he was alright.

With her impression slightly improved, Tuan Tuan started chatting with Jiang Siming.

No choice, live-streaming effect still needed to be maintained; she couldn't just find a gaming companion and stay silent the whole time.

"Little brother, where are you from?"

"Hmm? Yunnan."

"Wow! A city of tourism, eh? Are you far from Lijiang or Dali?"

"Very far, my home is in a remote small town, but the scenery is not a bit worse than Dali or Lijiang."

"Then are you single?"

As soon as she finished saying this, Tuan Tuan felt her face blush a little. Why did she suddenly ask that?

"Just finished more than half a year of single life recently," Jiang Siming replied.

"Wow! A little brother with such a nice voice is actually not single? So sad, boo-hoo-hoo!"

"Whoever has a boyfriend like this, wouldn't their ears be getting pregnant every day?"

"Hahahaha, as long as he's not single, my Sigou still has a chance."

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

Just when Tuan Tuan thought the same, Jiang Siming added, "Starting the second half of the year now."

"?????"

"Hahahahaha, there's even this kind of operation!"

"Just finished more than half a year of single life, starting the second half of the year now. Pfft! What a golden quote!"

"So cheeky, learned it. Gonna post this on Moments to farm some likes, hehe."

Even Tuan Tuan was amused by Jiang Siming's words. She had thought he was a humorless and very boring person.

"Then do you know what kind of guys I like?"

Tuan Tuan also decided to be a bit cheeky. The other person would definitely reply that he didn't know, and then she would return with a punchline to tease him back.

Yet who would have thought that Jiang Siming replied with an adorable sentence that left her dumbfounded.

"I didn't dare ask, because I was afraid I fit all of them."

Good grief!

The sudden flirtation, coupled with such a pleasant voice, made Tuan Tuan admit that she blushed.

Inside the live stream room, it instantly became bustling and extraordinary.

"Ah shibal, quotes right off the bat? Impressive!"

"Hahaha, failed to flirt with a guy and got flirted with instead. Tuan Tuan, you're not cutting it."

"Little brother is so cheeky, I like it so much, ying-ying-ying~"

"If Chen Sigou had this kind of emotional intelligence, he probably would have won the beauty over long ago."

"Laughing so hard I slapped my Bentley, popping out four Nanfu Batteries!"

"I feel like Chen Sigou is in crisis. This gaming companion little brother has some skills."

The barrage suddenly returned to the right track because of Jiang Siming's two sentences; even Tuan Tuan hadn't expected it.

This gaming companion little brother was actually quite nice. Aside from his gaming skills not being seen yet, everything else completely met her requirements.

Tuan Tuan decided that if the other person kept it up, she would be willing to carry him no matter how poorly he played games.

To keep it up, she wanted to continue trading banter with Jiang Siming, but wracked her brains without any inspiration.

She wanted to say something else, but Jiang Siming interrupted her.

"130 degrees northeast direction, I see someone."

With enemies appearing, Tuan Tuan temporarily dismissed the idea of amusing everyone and threw herself into the game.

Sure enough, in a partially constructed building in the distant direction, two wretched figures were jumping up and down looting things.

"Shh! Don't shoot, let's sneak over stealthily like those guerrilla fighters, no gunfire, enter the village quietly, understand?"

Tuan Tuan lowered her voice, as if speaking loudly would let the opponents hear her.

Although Jiang Siming wanted to just open fire and finish them, he remembered that the other party was a client, not his solo queue.

He still had to care a bit about the client's gaming experience, so he agreed.

The two of them sneaked toward the residential area with people, and Jiang Siming was startled quite a bit midway.

It wasn't that the enemy discovered him, but rather that this female client was making a fuss over nothing. She wouldn't walk two steps before immediately shouting for Jiang Siming to go prone and hide.

Making a fuss over every little thing made Jiang Siming feel very 'painful'.

With much difficulty, the two of them crept close, squatting on the left and right sides of a courtyard wall.

"One person has already come out, I'm going to beam him in a flash, don't move yet, hold down the right side," Tuan Tuan instructed. Sneaking up on people was something she did frequently.

"Yeah, okay." Jiang Siming agreed very cooperatively and didn't move.
