【Brothers, did Little Wildcat just say she’s the entry fragger? What’s she up to now?】
【Brothers, stay calm. Little Wildcat claimed to be a commander earlier; I suspect she’s an organizer!】
【Damn! That’s very likely! Her performance is inconsistent; maybe two people are using the same account!】
【Did you see that showy kill just now? Was she suggesting something to Lu Jianghe by sniping from a distance?】
【Aaahhh, what is Little Wildcat doing now? Want to see other people’s perspectives. The streamer is so bad.】
【Secretly agree with that.】
【Can we not bash the streamer? Do you want to make it hard for Bing Shen? If this has been your buddy for more than ten years, do you think it is appropriate?】
【Alright, alright, I’ll make up for it with some gifts.】
Someone sent Liang Hefeng gifts worth two thousand yuan, and the effects of the gifts overshadowed the previous discussions.
After Liang Hefeng finished healing and luckily found a level-three helmet and armor, he hurriedly asked Yan Yibing, “Bing, how are things on your end? Do you need me to support you?”
Yan Yibing just eliminated a cannon fodder rushing into the C building and calmly replied, “No problem here; I’ve got it covered.”
Liang Hefeng fell silent.
That was just solved by Little Wildcat.
Earlier, Yan Yibing asked Little Wildcat to cover him with a gun, and his words seemed to show a lot of trust in her.
But perhaps it was just his illusion. Little Wildcat clearly joined the game by adding him, and if she knew Yan Yibing, she should have been directly brought in by Yan Yibing.
Liang Hefeng glanced at the kill count.
Yan Yibing had seven kills, Little Wildcat had three, Tase had one, and he had four.
He wasn’t doing worse than Little Wildcat.
Liang Hefeng’s mind gradually became balanced.
Yan Yibing strolled leisurely in the C building, killing anyone he encountered and changing equipment when there was no one around. He basically had no worries.
Han Mo helped him keep an eye out, making him feel very relieved. It was the first time he realized how enjoyable it was to have Han Mo not as an opponent but as a teammate.
He didn’t have to worry about Han Mo not keeping up with his pace, about Han Mo accidentally being shot down, or about himself rushing too fiercely and being sold.
By the time of the East Asian Competition, they might really be teammates.
The East Asian Competition was a newly established international competition and a trial run for adding esports to the Olympics.
This competition wasn’t based on teams but on selecting the four highest-ranking individuals in the domestic competitive scene and pitting them against the highest-ranking players from various Asian countries.
Based on the current individual rankings, without surprise, the four selected individuals would be him, Han Mo, Yu Yan, and Chen Chi.
Yan Yibing was lost in thought when Liang Hefeng said, “Bing, the circle is shrinking; let’s go.”
The circle had shrunk to the inland area outside the airport. Their goal of landing at the airport wasn’t in the circle’s favor.
Escaping to the inland area would inevitably pass through the left and right bridges, making it a challenging obstacle.
Liang Hefeng’s kill count at this moment was seven, Yan Yibing’s was seven, and Han Mo’s was five.
Yan Yibing intentionally reduced his kill count, leaving enemies inside the building for Liang Hefeng to handle. Han Mo, on the other hand, had been busy covering Yan Yibing the whole time, unable to upgrade his equipment.
But Han Mo didn’t care much about how many kills he got. He just hoped for more situations where Yan Yibing would ask for his help.
ttase also arrived, saying her first words, “Mao Mao, you’re amazing! I didn’t expect you to be this good!”
She had been paying attention to her teammates while in the wilderness and knew how big of a role Little Wildcat played.
However, she didn’t know that the goal of today’s game was Liang Hefeng’s solo show. So she expressed her praise without any burden.
Liang Hefeng grinned awkwardly, a bit sarcastically. “Didn’t you just say you’re the entry fragger?”
Sniping so skillfully and still claiming to be an entry fragger, one could tell she was deliberately lying to join them.
【Hmm, indeed, entry fragging might be a bit better.】
Han Mo replied blandly.
Liang Hefeng: “…” So, was the performance earlier considered relatively poor?
This person is really good at acting.
Liang Hefeng was a bit annoyed at this point. He picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank several mouthfuls.
“I’ll go find a car.”
He went downstairs and found a Jeep near the helipad that could accommodate four people.
Parking at the base of the C building, Liang Hefeng quickly jumped out of the car.
He wanted to shoot, not be the driver.
No matter how well he drove the car, he wouldn’t receive any praise. But if he shot down moving targets, especially enemies picking up airdrops, it would easily showcase his skills.
Tase’s skills were average. If she drove poorly, their whole team might die on the bridge.
He couldn’t let Yan Yibing drive; otherwise, the fans watching the livestream would mock him. After all, Yan Yibing’s sniping skills were widely acknowledged.
Liang Hefeng said, “Little Wildcat, you drive. Remember to stick to the obstacles on the bridge. There will definitely be enemies collecting tolls on the opposite hill. After dodging the obstacles, remember to change positions. When crossing the bridge, don’t take the main road.; we’ll go up the slope first, clear the enemies, and then rush to the circle.”
Yan Yibing’s gaze trembled, and his character wandered around downstairs.
He had a feeling that Han Mo wouldn’t heed Liang Hefeng’s words. To avoid embarrassment, Yan Yibing was prepared to take the driver’s seat himself.
“How about if I…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Han Mo’s message had already been sent.
【Heh, you know best; drive yourself then.】
Veins bulged on Liang Hefeng’s forehead, and his expression had become quite unpleasant.
Little Wildcat looked down on him.
Ever since he had commanded Little Wildcat to guard the stairs, she had been resentful. And when he failed to promptly cover Yan Yibing, her disdain only grew.
Being bad at esports was the original sin, and many players shared this sentiment. When they encountered someone they considered bad, they usually didn’t mince words.
Liang Hefeng was the same; he couldn’t stand playing with bad players,, even in live matches.
However, Liang Hefeng couldn’t tolerate the fact that he was being treated as one of those bad players.
He was a professional player. Although he had retired, his skills were still top-notch, validated by the market. Moreover, his record was impressive—all SSS ranks and MVPs in a row. The term “bad” had no connection with him.
He estimated that Little Wildcat was not even twenty yet, acting so arrogantly and completely oblivious to the harsh realities of society.
【Damn, Mao Jie is so crazy, I love it .】
【Mao Jie seems to have a good temper with Han Mo, go Gege on the left, then Gege on the right; the contrast with the streamer is stark!】
【Mao Jie also thinks the streamer is bad; she definitely doesn’t want to drive herself.】
【I can understand; driving is tough and unrewarding.】
【This is awkward; things are heating up!】
Of course, Yan Yibing couldn’t let them escalate, so he smiled gently and said, “Let me drive; it’s safer.”
He smoothly took the driver’s seat.
This was fine. At least while driving, he couldn’t kill anyone, which meant Liang Hefeng’s kill count would be a bit higher.
At his age and status, he no longer cared about being the MVP of a game. Fans wouldn’t think his skill had diminished just because he had fewer kills than Liang Hefeng.
Just as Yan Yibing settled into the driver’s seat, Little Wildcat approached the car window.
From the angle where she stood, her gaze fell perfectly into the car.
A second later, two words appeared on the screen:
【I’ll drive.】
Yan Yibing: “…”
【What’s going on? Why is Little Wildcat suddenly so cooperative?】
It looks like Bing Shen’s words carry weight.】
【Maybe Little Wildcat wants to see Bing Shen in action; she seems to favor the great god.】
【The streamer’s goal has been achieved, hahaha.】
Liang Hefeng wasn’t very pleased.
Little Wildcat completely ignored him, only listening to Yan Yibing’s words, clearly not considering him.
Yan Yibing, on the other hand, wanted to see how skilled Han Mo was at driving. After all, just like him, Han Mo wasn’t the designated driver in official matches.
So, Yan Yibing hopped off the driver’s seat.
Yan Yibing: “Alright.”
Liang Hefeng and Ttase also got into the car, and Han Mo drove towards the bridge.
Liang Hefeng sneered, “Bing, Little Wildcat is treating you well. Are you in for some good luck in love?”
Yan Yibing’s finger twitched slightly, and he chuckled helplessly. “Don’t joke around.”
What kind of luck?
For the time being, there were no enemies on this route, so Liang Hefeng chatted with Yan Yibing, “Why haven’t you found anyone yet? Isn’t your mom pushing you? I remember back in school, many people were chasing after you.”
The jeep rolled over a bump, narrowly avoiding a collision with a rock. The front of the car scratched past, igniting sparks.
Liang Hefeng frowned. “Little Wildcat, steady the wheel. If you can’t handle it, let Bing drive.”
Yan Yibing casually replied, “My mom is getting anxious, but I wouldn’t know how to take care of a girl. Besides, nobody likes me.”
Liang Hefeng smirked with hidden meaning, “You don’t need to take care of girls. With so many fangirls, you just pick and choose.”
Yan Yibing furrowed his brows, feeling a bit uncomfortable. He earnestly retorted, “Fans are friends, and they just enjoy watching esports; they don’t consider esports as their life.”
Liang Hefeng fell silent for a few seconds and whispered, “They don’t understand you. After all, we’ve been friends for over ten years.”
Yan Yibing: “Yeah.”
He didn’t argue with that.
Indeed, they had been friends for over ten years, but during these eight years, the period of the most significant changes in his life, Liang Hefeng wasn’t involved.
It was partly his fault. After becoming a professional player, he had fewer interactions with Liang Hefeng.
It wasn’t intentional; it was just a lack of time.
Work wasn’t like school, where you could see each other every day, play ball together, eat together, and attend classes together.
Zero Club was in Magic City, and Puxin Club was in Jiangbei. Even by high-speed train, it took forty minutes, so unless it was something important, they wouldn’t make a special effort to meet.
Moreover, for a long time, it was Liang Hefeng who couldn’t get past the resentment in his heart, unwilling to talk to him.
Fortunately, things are slowly improving now.
The car finally arrived at the bridge.
Without any hesitation, the jeep charged towards the left bridge.
Liang Hefeng: “Why go left? The circle is on the left, and there are more people on the left bridge.”
Under normal circumstances, players in the airport would choose to rush the right bridge; it was safer. Waiting until they reached the mainland before entering the circle was also a viable strategy.
【My level is not good.】
Han Mo responded boldly.
Yan Yibing, behind the screen, couldn’t help but squint.
He found that Han Mo still had the temper of a boy his age.
Holding grudges, competing, and never backing down.
Liang Hefeng took a deep breath; his face swelled from suppressing his anger.
As expected, as soon as the car got on the bridge, a barrage of bullets came their way.
Bullets hit the car’s body, making a clattering sound.
ttase: “ICE, are we going to die here?”
Liang Hefeng: “Stupid route!”
He was also breaking into a cold sweat.
At this rate, the car was likely to be blown up. If they got wiped out on the bridge, his goal of showcasing his skills would be lost.
But now, he couldn’t turn back. Jumping out of the car meant death, and staying put might lead to the same fate.
Liang Hefeng regretted letting Little Wildcat drive. She was clearly emotionally driven and didn’t care about winning or losing.
The jeep maneuvered on the bridge, weaving through cover along the way, yet everyone inside the car still suffered varying degrees of injuries.
Liang Hefeng was tense, firing a few shots, all missing their targets.
Yan Yibing, on the other hand, remained calm, helping to eliminate two players trying to flank from the hill.
However, he didn’t kill them, just buying as much time as possible.
But that bit of time was enough.
Han Mo drove the car off the bridge, rushing towards a hillside without stopping.
The hillside provided ample cover with trees and rocks, making it convenient for finding hiding spots. But at the same time, countless enemies were lurking here.
He stopped the car on a slanted slope.
As soon as the car came to a stop, both he and Yan Yibing, well-trained, jumped out and, while leaping, rushed towards a rock for cover.
This was the combat awareness they had developed in countless matches—the ability to analyze the safest and most advantageous positions in the shortest time.
Liang Hefeng reacted a beat slower. After getting out of the car, he didn’t squeeze behind a rock but chose to hide behind a tree.
Tatase was even slower, directly hiding behind the car.
Liang Hefeng still cared about others: “Sis, don’t hide behind the car; it’s already exposed. Come over here; I’ll protect you.”
ttase: “Oh, thank you, brother. I’ll come over right away.”
Before Tase could run behind the tree, a silenced sniper shot, from somewhere unknown, pierced through Liang Hefeng’s helmet.
Liang Hefeng fell to the ground.
ttase: “Um… maybe I should just stay behind the car?”
【Hahaha, this has to be the most embarrassing moment of the year!】
【The streamer is really unfortunate; you won’t have to say that sentence even if you wait for one more second! 】
It seems like hiding behind rocks is safer. The silenced sniper didn’t hit there, indicating the attacker was in front of the rocks.】
【To be fair, it’s not that the streamer is unskilled; he’s just unlucky. If someone has a silenced sniper at this moment, even Bing Shen couldn’t dodge it.】
【Not saying the streamer is bad; he’s just too unlucky.】
Liang Hefeng’s face turned red; he couldn’t help but curse lowly, then started to explain, “We shouldn’t have gone over this bridge and shouldn’t have gone up the hill too early. There aren’t suitable cover spots here, for sure; there’s a silenced sniper watching us. We were targeted as soon as we got out of the car. Listen to me; we should’ve gone straight to the circle instead of planning to take others down. I’m so annoyed; do they even know how to play?”
He subtly shifted the blame onto Little Wildcat, the one who drove.
Choosing the left bridge was definitely a problem, and he wasn’t entirely wrong. The barrage also had comments supporting his view.
【True, I also think we shouldn’t have taken the left bridge; it was too reckless.】
【This reckless style, it’s like someone… Yeah, I was talking about Han Mo, always charging head-on.】
【Han Mo’s aggressive approach ensures no casualties, but this team doesn’t have that level; we shouldn’t have charged in like that.】
【It’s still Little Wildcat’s fault; the streamer was just unlucky.】
Yan Yibing licked his lips and whispered, “Hefeng, don’t worry; I’ll go rescue you.”
Liang Hefeng was a bit unfair in shifting blame.
Since they were a team playing a game, they shouldn’t blame each other. No one can avoid making mistakes. Even on top professional teams, there are cases of players eagerly taking the blame after a match.
After hearing Liang Hefeng’s words, Han Mo sneered and calmly typed.
【I’m at fault. My mistake was not knowing you were this bad.】
【Huh? I love Mao Jie’s wave of mockery】
【Little Wildcat 666 trash-talking feels like that of a professional player.】
【Back then on the forums, there were speculations that Little Wildcat might be a pro player, right?】
【Just speculation: why would pro players spend hundreds of thousands to play games with Han Shen? They could just arrange it privately.】
Yan Yibing: “Ahem!”
He coughed heavily, reminding Han Mo not to provoke Liang Hefeng further.
If they kept it up, netizens would know who couldn’t arrange offline matches with Prince.
In fact, Han Mo’s choice of the left bridge wasn’t entirely wrong. He made that choice with the awareness that both top professional players were on the team. There was no risk of being wiped out.
As long as they cleared the people on the hill, they could smoothly enter the safe zone and easily pick off those coming later from the right bridge.
Yan Yibing softly said, “Hey, I’ll go help him. Can you cover me?”
He had a rough idea of where the silenced sniper was firing from. It was unreasonable to think that Han Mo couldn’t figure it out. As soon as he went out, drawing the attention of that person, Han Mo could eliminate them.
【No, I’ll go.】
The opponent didn’t outright eliminate Liang Hefeng with a single shot, aiming to lure out his teammates.
Han Mo wanted to sacrifice Liang Hefeng according to his plan, but Yan Yibing clearly disagreed.
However, he didn’t want Yan Yibing to go rescue that idiot.
Taking a deep breath, Han Mo dashed forward with his gun.
He was taking a huge risk; if the person wasn’t taken down by Yan Yibing or if there were other hidden enemies, he might also get eliminated while helping Liang Hefeng in those few seconds.
But it didn’t matter if Little Wildcat’s account died; if Yan Yibing’s main account got harvested, that person would definitely brag about it.
Barrage coaches online would then bring the bragging content back to the forums, mocking Yan Yibing for kneeling to a foreign dad.
As he expected, on his way over, gunshots continued.
Han Mo couldn’t avoid getting hit.
Gritting his teeth, he threw a smoke grenade and quickly rushed to Liang Hefeng.
Bang!
Yan Yibing fired, hitting the person in a Ghillie suit holding the silenced sniper.
The person quickly took cover, and his teammate rushed over to assist.
In that brief opening, Han Mo also helped Liang Hefeng up.
After assisting him, without a word, Han Mo turned and returned to Yan Yibing’s side.
Yan Yibing: “Charge, they haven’t changed positions.”
Without hesitation, Han Mo followed him and dashed forward, holding an SMG, while Yan Yibing wielded a shotgun, eliminating two opponents.
Han Mo passed the Ghillie suit to Yan Yibing.
By the time Liang Hefeng had healed, the hilltop was essentially cleared.
He asked stiffly, “No one left?”
At this point, Little Wildcat’s kill count had caught up with his. He felt a hint of pressure.
He could tolerate Yan Yibing having slightly more kills, but he couldn’t accept not even securing second place.
Moreover, this Little Wildcat had no fame and no rankings on any server.
As predicted by Yan Yibing, they smoothly took out another group of enemies and entered the final circle with the best equipment.
In the final circle, ttase was taken down by someone, and in the end, it was a 3v1 situation for the chicken dinner.
Yan Yibing had fifteen kills, Little Wildcat had ten, Liang Hefeng had ten, and ttase had two.
After the game, Liang Hefeng sighed, “I didn’t perform well this round, only got ten kills.”
Yan Yibing smiled, “No, you did pretty well. You helped me a lot.”
Liang Hefeng’s expression improved a bit, “Not bad, occasionally I’m not stable, or else I wouldn’t have been knocked down.”
Han Mo’s expression was indifferent as he typed.
【What about me?】
Yan Yibing helplessly shook his head, his apricot eyes reflecting the light from the screen, bright and clear.
His curled eyelashes drooped, and he picked up his phone, sending a WeChat message to Han Mo.
【You’re even more amazing.】
