Chen Zhao circled the Military Base, and by the time he emerged, he was fully equipped with Level 3 gear, a 4x scope M24, and a fully kitted Vector.

Chen Zhao had a habit of feeling like he never had enough ammo, so he carried over four hundred rounds, stuffing his backpack to the brim.

Unbeknownst to him, there were already 10 people in his livestream. Subtracting the three who wanted to recruit Chen Zhao into their guilds, there were seven enthusiastic viewers chatting away from time to time.

Aoligei: "The streamer's skills are pretty good! He actually made it out of the Military Base alive!"

Cold Cool Brother: "He killed two people, both with a single shot. Not sure if it's skill or luck, but I've followed."

Want to Rua Kittens: "Hope the streamer can get the chicken dinner! If you win, I'll send gifts!"

Chen Zhao still didn't know people had joined his stream; he had almost forgotten he was even streaming. He kept his head down, silent, and focused entirely on the game.

Opening the mini-map, Chen Zhao marked a spot at the Research Institute.

The Research Institute was a place he was quite familiar with and visited often. Its geographical location was excellent; standing on top of the building, the surrounding area was wide open, making it perfect for sniping.

Finding a Jeep on the side of the road, Chen Zhao hopped in and drove forward.

Suddenly, as he neared the bridge, a string of bullets came flying in with a crackle, sparks showering off the car body.

Chen Zhao was startled, realizing someone was camping the bridge. He quickly scanned the terrain, spotting a large rock not far ahead. He slammed on the gas, crashed into it, stopped instantly, and jumped out at light speed to hide behind the vehicle.

The impact with the rock cost him a fifth of his health, and he lost another fifth from stray bullets while exiting the car. Chen Zhao began drinking an energy drink to heal while scanning for the direction of the gunfire.

Perhaps due to his increased intelligence, Chen Zhao locked onto the enemy's position in less than half a second—they were prone in the grass by the bridge, with only a tiny sliver of a white Level 2 helmet visible.

To test his hypothesis, Chen Zhao pulled out his M24. Without hesitation, he leaned right and fired without even opening the 4x scope!

A shot through the soul!

The opponent was instantly headshot! Green smoke rose slowly, and a crate appeared on the grass!

Seeing the notification on the screen, [You used M24 to headshot kill xiaolaji], Chen Zhao was ecstatic!

Sure enough, his previous guess was right. After his intelligence increased, his marksmanship had become godlike. He didn't even need to aim carefully; he just raised his gun and fired, a guaranteed kill with every shot!

As for why such an astonishing change occurred, Chen Zhao wasn't entirely sure, but it was likely related to a brain region responsible for shooting judgment.

He had once read a report stating that several Olympic pistol champions were highly nearsighted. They couldn't see the target clearly at all—the bullseye looked as blurry and small as a sesame seed to them—but they possessed a unique "feel." This feel came from talent and years of training. Once they raised their gun, if the feel was right, they fired immediately and hit the bullseye. That was likely the principle behind his current state!

Before Chen Zhao could finish celebrating, his screen suddenly flashed red, his health plummeting to just ten percent!

As the sound of a 98k faded in his headset, Chen Zhao realized with a jolt that someone had just headshot him with a 98k!

Without hesitation, he immediately dashed to the other side of the car for cover and began using a medkit. While healing, Chen Zhao scanned the direction of the shot and spotted the sniper who had hit him, far away on a hillside about 400 meters back. The player was standing behind a large tree, leaning out to expose their head while still aiming with a 98k.

Chen Zhao felt a lingering fear; if he hadn't been wearing a Level 3 helmet, he would have been dead right there!

Truly, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

He couldn't be careless from now on!

After healing, Chen Zhao scanned the surroundings. Seeing no other players, only the sniper behind the tree, he focused on the duel.

The distance was indeed quite far. On the computer screen, the sniper's exposed head was only the size of a mung bean, making it extremely difficult to hit.

Moreover, the most dangerous part was that the opponent kept aiming at the Jeep; the moment Chen Zhao poked his head out, they could fire and kill him instantly!

Chen Zhao felt a bit nervous. His previous three one-shot kills had been at close-to-medium range, or even point-blank. At such a long distance, could he still land a one-shot kill?

Just as his health recovered enough to survive a shot, Chen Zhao gritted his teeth, leaned out, and fired!

"Boom!" The dull, massive roar of the M24 tore through the air!

[You used M24 to headshot kill Brother Chun]

Kill!

Chen Zhao wanted to jump up in excitement!

At such a distance, he actually managed a one-shot kill!

He was a walking aimbot!

Chen Zhao's backpack was already full, so he didn't bother looting the crate. He got back in the car and continued his journey toward the Research Institute.

For some reason, perhaps due to the shrinking circle, he encountered several enemies along the way.

Chen Zhao showed no mercy. Regardless of distance, he would brake, stop, jump out, and fire the moment he raised his gun, landing a headshot every time.

Only one player wearing a Level 3 helmet took two shots to finish off; all the others were instant kills!

[You used M24 to headshot kill Brother Don't Kill Me]

[You used M24 to headshot kill daota]

[You used M24 to headshot kill Hefei Eddie Peng]

[You used M24 to headshot kill momo]

······

The viewers in the livestream were already exploding.

Aoligei: "Is this streamer fake! Is his aim really this insane?"

I Am Handan King: "Don't tell me he's a hacker! Why does this look so much like an aimbot to me!"

Yan Nantian: "Report him, no need to guess, this guy is definitely a cheater!"

Watermelon Eater: "I could believe a no-scope at close range, but from hundreds of meters away, headshotting without even aiming? Is that even possible? It's definitely a hack!"

Bread Truck Caller: "I'm going to call some people right now, let everyone come watch this cheater, record the video, and post it online to expose him!"

At the same time, in Wolf Brother's livestream room.

Wolf Brother was crouching on top of the Research Institute, scanning the area with a 98k.

There had been two people in the Research Institute, both of whom Wolf Brother had just knocked down in a firefight. Now, he dominated the entire building. Seeing no one nearby, Wolf Brother took note of the kill feed on his screen.

As he watched, Wolf Brother frowned:

"Damn, did you guys notice? There's an ID called Chen Zhao who has been getting headshot kills for a while now, all with an M24."

"I have a feeling this guy is a cheater!"

"Every shot a headshot, that's a bit too ruthless!"

"But Wolf Brother's aim is also very sharp. If he dares to come to the Research Institute, I'll teach him a lesson with one shot from my 98k!"

PUBG in this world looked almost identical to the PUBG from Chen Zhao's past life, but there were actually some subtle differences; for instance, you could use Chinese names, and streamer accounts were searchable. As long as you entered the game ID, if it were a streamer account, you could find their streaming platform and room number.

Hearing Wolf Brother's complaint, some fans specifically searched for the ID Chen Zhao and were surprised to discover that he was also a streamer.
