Battle Pass Skins

The match ended, and the results screen appeared before Xiao Dingdang.

18 eliminations, 2,387 damage.

Looking at his results, Xiao Dingdang felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

He had earned those results shot by shot, eliminating more than ten people and dealing over two thousand damage.

He had never experienced anything like the irrepressible excitement of the final circle, especially the adrenaline surge when he knocked down the last person.

"Phew!"

Xiao Dingdang let out a long breath, his eyes brimming with excitement as he looked at the game interface.

He exited the results screen and turned his attention to the game interface.

Earlier, he had wanted to play immediately and hadn't looked closely. Now, he was interested in what was there.

The gameplay spoke for itself: passionate, thrilling, and exhilarating.

But what were the features on the game interface for?

Xiao Dingdang looked at the options at the top.

Start game, pass, match history, inventory, hideout, workshop, and store.

Start game was self-explanatory. Clicking it brought up the main page, where players could choose a map and the number of players to start a match.

The pass... what was that? There was even a red dot on it. Did that mean he was supposed to click it?

With that thought, Xiao Dingdang opened the pass. The screen changed, showing his character with the pass items below.

Some of the items had the word "free" underneath them. Xiao Dingdang looked into it himself and soon understood.

Players could earn free items by gaining pass experience through gameplay. Once their level reached the level marked for a pass item, they could claim it for free.

Besides the free items, there were also items that required SP Points to redeem.

To earn SP Points, players had to activate the pass-in other words, purchase it-and complete missions.

Once he understood, Xiao Dingdang promptly decided to buy a pass.

A basic pass cost 29.9, while a deluxe pass cost 39.9.

The difference was the number of weapon crates included, along with a character name card.

After thinking it over, he paid 39.9 for a deluxe pass and received five weapon crates and a character name card.

Viewers in the livestream curiously asked about it after seeing Xiao Dingdang buy the pass.

[Isn't this a free game? Why do you have to pay?]

[No, the game really is free. You only have to pay if you want skins.]

[Huh? Doesn't that make it just like Qisheng's games, where paying makes you stronger?]

[I don't think so. The skins in this game don't give you any stat bonuses.]

[Really?]

As if to confirm what the chat was saying, Xiao Dingdang claimed a black jacket and went to his inventory.

Seeing the five weapon crates in his inventory, he clicked to open them.

Five weapon crates appeared before him, floating in the air. He raised his hand to touch them, and they opened one after another.

Below, an item appeared each time a crate opened. There was currency as well as skins.

The game's basic currency was BP Coins, while G Coins were obtained by paying.

By the time the crates were all open, Xiao Dingdang had received a total of 2,800 BP Coins, and one crate had contained a pair of pants.

His eyes lit up. He went to the wardrobe at the top of the inventory and put on the black jacket from his pass, along with the brown pants.

Now his character was much easier on the eyes, looking considerably better than in the basic white tank top and jeans.

His original outfit had been a white shirt and a black tie, which made him look very... sharp. It didn't suit him.

After sorting out his new clothes, Xiao Dingdang prepared to play a few more rounds. This game was truly addictive.

Unlike the more casual Minecraft, this game was pure gunfighting.

Meanwhile, after finishing his fifth match, Da Sima lay back in his chair and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Why... I'd clearly calculated everything. How do I keep dying as soon as I land? Is this game my nemesis?

Da Sima couldn't figure it out, but the game really was fun. Every firefight made his blood boil. If only there were a game that involved both strategizing and skill.

This game relied too heavily on aim, which was a bit of a challenge for him.

In the livestream, messages about Da Sima's finished match flooded the chat.

[Pfft, hahaha, Teacher Ma, how did you finish another match already?]

[Exactly. We all started playing at the same time, so how come you've played five matches while we've only played two? That's not fair to us.]

[Teacher Ma, is this the true essence of being a noob? I understand now.]

[Everyone, stop. Teacher Ma's motorcycle dismount and dragon descending from the heavens were both textbook-level moves, weren't they?]

[Yes, absolutely. Teacher Ma was showing us what not to do.]

Da Sima came back to his senses and, seeing the chat, remarked, "This game doesn't make sense."

"Why do I say that? Think about it. The instant I jumped off the vehicle, I could aim and shoot."

"I'd calculated it all."

As he spoke, Da Sima's face reddened a little.

He was rather frustrated that he had started five matches in just over ten minutes.

At that moment, an invitation notification popped up on the right.

Da Sima took a look. Was that Xiao Dingdang?

Oh, right. The two of them were still friends on Starfield, and the friends list carried over between games.

Da Sima accepted the invitation, and soon he and Xiao Dingdang appeared in the same team. He also heard Xiao Dingdang laughing.

"Teacher Ma, I heard you've already played five matches."

"So, how about sharing some of your experience?"

Da Sima laughed when he heard Xiao Dingdang. "Ahem, ahem, I wouldn't call it experience."

"I can only say I've figured out a few ways to play."

"For example, jumping off a vehicle in midair is theoretically feasible. As long as the vehicle is high enough, you can shoot as soon as you jump off, and you can also pull out a parachute to ensure a safe landing."

Don't ask how he knew. If you did, it was something he had discovered by accident during his own play.

"And jumping too. While you're jumping from the second floor to the first, the crosshair isn't accurate, so you need to watch out for that."

Listening to Da Sima explain his understanding, Xiao Dingdang had to admit, it was quite something.

As expected of someone who had already played five matches, he really did have game experience that Xiao Dingdang, who had only played once, couldn't match.

After discussing it, the two decided to team up and play, just the two of them, without adding random players.

Mainly, Xiao Dingdang wanted to test his own skill and experience that thrill.

Da Sima was happy too. With Xiao Dingdang alongside him, surely he could win with ease this time.

He had just learned that Xiao Dingdang had taken down the last team and survived to the end. His skill definitely wasn't bad.
