Chapter 15 - Do you know why you’re so noob?
Yu Yan was 10/10 absolutely a voice con, but compared to other voice cons, he seemed to be a bit more… No, not a bit more, but exceedingly more picky.
When he was a child, he liked using a radio to listen to a certain announcer read letters addressed to the station. He did this regularly for four years, come rain or shine. Later, when the announcer left, the radio was abandoned in a corner to accumulate dust, never to be used again.
Then, there was a foreign animation voice actor. He overheard this voice when he passed an audio-visual shop. After he went home, he lapped up all the animations that that CV had done. Those shows were still intact on his computer. Unfortunately, the CV was old and wasn’t suitable for main male lead roles. He went on to voice uncle roles.
Yu Yan could still remember the first second when he heard the CV do his big uncle voice—he had nearly crushed his earphones.
…
After repeatedly doing this several times, Yu Yan frowned and found that something wasn’t quite right——
The voices he liked… all seemed to be male voices.
It wasn’t that he thought girls’ voices weren’t nice to listen to. Like everyone else, he thought girls with soft voices were cute, and girls with high and cold voices were elegant. But besides that, he didn’t have any other peculiar emotions towards them.
… It wasn’t like when he heard 1’s voice, where he started blushing, and his heart had begun pounding. It even felt as if the hollows of his palms had small hammers gently beating inside them.
Just now, he almost trembled and gave away his entire inventory.
Lu Xiuhe said, “Stop dreaming, I won’t give it to you.”
Yu Yan curbed his bubbling energy. After he finished tossing everything, he turned around to leave, his back giving off the feeling of being in a hurry.
[It’s not up to you to refuse.]
[Gunfight right here, whoever wins gets the gun.]
[You guys are bullying people here ah!]
The PC and console versions of PUBG were different from PUBG mobile—friendly fire would actually damage teammates.
Lu Xiuhe trembled. “It can’t be that you want to murder your own son ba?”
“… No, everyone, don’t speak nonsense. I never kill my teammates.” Yu Yan paused, “Although, my teammates weren’t carrying Mini14s before.”
Half a minute later, Lu Xiuhe dropped the Mini14 onto the ground. “… Why do you have only one gun on your back? When you tossed the M24, why didn’t you pick up the one that Boss was holding?”
At the time, Yu Yan had run away from his patron, so how could he have the heart to wait for Boss to throw him his gun?
“He had a S686, I thought it over, and you don’t know how to use it anyway.”
Lu Xiuhe: “…” Who on earth had he provoked?? Not only being threatened into handing over his gun, but also having to suffer this personal attack?!
“Thank you so much. I don’t feel guilty at all right now.”
“That’s good.” Yu Yan ignored the grievance in his words, loaded the gun, and left Lu Xiuhe’s sight without looking back.
“I dropped the S686 where I was.” Yi Chen opened his inventory, picked up all the things left by the little anchor and equipped them. “I don’t know how to use markers, come and get it yourself ba.”
Yu Yan didn’t expect that Yi Chen would open his mouth again. After two seconds of silly fixation, he started to move again, albeit exasperatingly slowly.
… Really nice to listen to.
Really want to record it ah….
No, no, I can’t. Boss spent money on me, but I’m still thinking about secretly recording his voice. Truly too excessive.
He told this to himself in his heart and hurriedly pushed the thought back down.
Lu Xiuhe said, “Hey, I’m coming, Boss…”
No. 4 shouted, “Someone’s here! NW, behind the rock!”
Yu Yan shifted his view and quickly caught sight of a level 3 helmet beside the stone.
He opened his scope and aimed at the helmet, but didn’t rush to shoot.
[Shoot ah, what are you just standing there for?]
[Don’t know what the anchor is doing. He also keeps stopping as he walks. Do you think he’s busy with something ba? It’s really inconvenient without the camera on…]
[Cheaters don’t dare to turn on their camera so that you won’t see how he shoots.]
“With a level three helmet, it takes three shots to kill.” Yu Yan said, “He’s also moving, so it’s hard to get headshots. He has a level three helmet, so he’s probably also holding a good sniper rifle. Their hilltop is also higher than the height of our house. If they snipe me, I’ll have to suffer losses. I have to sneak attack them.”
[This is the first time seeing you so scared.]
Yu Yan continued to take aim. “I’m not scared. If it’s a gunfight, I’m not afraid even if all I have is a pistol.”
Immediately, people started to say he was just talking big.
[… After watching the livestream for several days, he’s really not boasting.]
Obviously, their enemy hadn’t discovered them. Yu Yan’s team only saw the enemy with the level three helmet walk two steps and then suddenly stop—then proceed to take out an energy drink, open it and drink it.
At once, Yu Yan was ready to press down on the mouse, but unexpectedly, a gunshot sounded in his ear. No. 4, who held up his AKM with a holographic sight, had moved in front of him to spray at the rock on the hilltop opposite to them.
Not a single shot landed on the target.
The other side had detected them, so immediately shifted his position, and hid behind the stone.
No. 4 exclaimed, “Ah WTF! It looked like I hit them.”
Yu Yan responded, “Didn’t.”
“I did hit, I even saw blood!”
[Hahahahahaha your eyes are blind, No. 4.]
Yu Yan was also too lazy to argue with him about this. “If you don’t have a magnifying scope, don’t show yourself&#k2026;”
Bang!
The person beside him suddenly fell down—No. 4 had been headshotted with a 98K by the person on the opposite hill.
Yu Yan didn’t even think about it before turning around and running to the house.
No. 4 immediately called out, “Don’t run away ah! Pull me up!”
“You crawl in.” Yu Yan said, “He’s standing up there, it’s not safe to pull you up.”
No. 4 clicked his tongue and slowly crawled inside. Unfortunately, he couldn’t even reach the house before the other side sniped him again, killing him.
No. 4 complained, “I even told you to pull me up. If you hadn’t run away, I would have gotten up a long time ago.”
Yu Yan simply muted his mic, and planned to use his livestream’s voice channel instead.
He walked into a room that was easy to hide in and saw Yi Chen crouched by the window, aiming at people through a scope.
“1, if you stand there, you’ll get spotted in seconds…”
His voice had just fallen when a heavy gunshot sounded out. Yi Chen had already pulled the trigger.
“One headshot,” the man said in a low voice.
With the previous accident, Yi Chen didn’t bother to keep silent any more. After all, talking was the most convenient way to communicate in this game.
Yu Yan: “…”
Yu Yan! You can do it! You mustn’t panic!
“Then you stay here… I’ll change rooms.” He added, “Aim from both directions, it’ll be easier to find an angle.”
Yi Chen asked, “En. I’m easy to spot here?”
“Yes. You should move a bit left and then peek right to snipe.”
“Got it.”
Yu Yan cradled the little Mini14 in his hands and quickly ran out.
Who would’ve thought that as soon as he entered another room, another gunshot rang out.
[Yii11c eliminated LACFMM with an M24]
“Dead.”
These were all words other players also used, but why did they sound so nice when coming out of 1’s mouth?
Lu Xiuhe was lying prone in the house’s living room, with his red dot sight open. As soon as he opened his mouth, he started praising 1, “Boss, are you really a noob? You’re so strong??”
“Not new, I’ve already played for a few hours.” Yi Chen continued, “He didn’t see me, he was staring at the balcony.”
Yu Yan quickly swallowed his saliva and then asked, “Hey, 1, let’s go loot together? It must be a fat lootbox.”
“Alright.”
Lu Xiuhe realized what was going on, stood up, and said, “I’ll come too…”
The sound of a motorcycle came from outside. Yu Yan took Yi Chen and didn’t even look back as he refused, “There’s no room.”
“Damn you! Didn’t you just drive a three-seat motorcycle back from Pochinki?!!”
“Did I?” Yu Yan retorted, “Then, you can drive that one over here ba.”
“…”
Along the way, Yu Yan deliberately avoided fights and drove around the periphery of the poison circle. On the road, he could occasionally hear the sound of faint gunshots, but he didn’t see a single person.
The number of survivors in the upper right corner indicator gradually kept decreasing. By the time they found a foothold, only 20 players were left.
“How did I get to the semi-finals without firing a single shot?” Lu Xiuhe commented.
At this time, No. 4 turned on his mic again. “There’s a person to the east! Very close!”
By the time No. 4 spoke, Yu Yan had already aimed at the other side with his red dot sight. “I see them.”
“Two! No, no, three! There are other people at the tree beside them. Don’t know if they’re a team!”
“En.”
Yu Yan raised his gun to strafe them, successfully knocking down one. The enemy immediately returned fire. He went down the slope and reloaded. His avatar crouched, and the screen started swaying back and forth.
“Get up! They’re coming over!”
“There’s one on the left!! Two on the right! The one that you knocked down hasn’t died yet!! He’s been revived!”
“Get up and fight ah! At your angle, anyone can easily headshot you!”
Yu Yan had a headache. “I know, I can see everything.”
“The one on the left is exposed! Come! Shoot him! Come on ah!”
Yu Yan: “…”
[Hahahaha Commander Lootbox.]
[So forceful, why didn’t he seem that powerful when he played?]
[Feel sorry for the anchor. I’ve turned the volume down to 10 and I still feel like it’s noisy.]
“It’s nothing, really.” Yu Yan, together with Lu Xiuhe, managed to knock down and kill the three people who had rushed up.
Afterwards, they hurried forward and quickly looted the enemy. “But you guys should listen carefully, No. 4 told me all these things, I didn’t open an x-ray bot.”
“In fact, if you’re willing to open my livestream’s replay and skip to the 76 minute mark, you’ll see that yesterday’s situation was the same as today’s.”
[Haters can only see what they want to see, it’s useless.]
[All those hateful IDs are gone, what’s the matter?]
The barrage was basically clean now. Yu Yan didn’t say much about it; after all, he had to finish livestreaming before he could communicate with the administrator for details about the matter.
Just as he finished looting, he suddenly heard the sound of a car.
“There’s a car!”
The people in the car had obviously already discovered them. The sound of the car’s engine suddenly stopped and three people jumped out.
Yu Yan glanced at the map and blurted out, “1, run behind the tree, they can hit you at your current angle—”
Unfortunately, he said it too late. When the enemy had jumped out of the car, they had already opened fire and knocked Yi Chen down.
Yu Yan opened his inventory and looked at the smoke grenade he was holding.
Lu Xiuhe asked, “What do you say, save him or not ah?”
They were standing in an open grassland. If they went over to save him, they’d definitely get shot.
Yi Chen said, “No need to save me”
Yu Yan thought about it for a few seconds and then made a decision. “En, can’t be saved… Lu Xiuhe, drink everything.”
Yi Chen was quickly killed by the opposite side. He clicked on the spectate option, leaned against his backrest, and leisurely started to watch the battle.
Yu Yan took out a grenade and was about to pull the pin…
“The opponent is Yan Xiao Yan ah?” A sharp male voice sounded. The enemy on the opposite side actually had the all voice channel open.
This voice… It was that little aimbotter laoshu.
It was probably that some stream followers, who were watching both livestreams at the same time, had reported it to laoshu after seeing the kill feed.
“Ah fuck.” Lu Xiuhe couldn’t help muttering to himself, “Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road…”
Yu Yan didn’t say anything and just pulled out the grenade pin, continuously focusing on the opponents.
“I know it’s you. I heard that you were exposed as a cheater? Bro, you’ve walked in the dark for too long and ran into my banana Ge?” laoshu’s tone was disdainful with undisguised sarcasm, seemingly unaware of the administrator’s announcement. “Fitting.”
Among the five new anchors signed by StarTV, yanxyan was the most troublesome. At first, it was okay, but somehow, yanxyan’s popularity almost caught up to his livestream’s popularity. Naturally, yanxyan was his strongest opponent at the moment.
laoshu exclaimed, “I killed his stream’s boss just now? Really? Alas, the boss is rich but blind, to throw his money to this thing. Just count it as being taught a lesson with these shots… If you want to learn how to shoot, just come to my stream, boss ah. I’ll wait for you anytime.”
Yu Yan narrowed his eyes, his gaze growing profound. He didn’t rush to refute laoshu.
He took out his grenade, pulled out the pin, remained silent for a few seconds, and without hesitation, threw it into the grass.
Boom!
With the explosion, a line of white words appeared.
[You knocked down Langyan99 with a frag grenade]
Yu Yan said, “There’s still two more. You go to the left.”
Lu Xiuhe was so angry that he smashed at his keyboard. “OK!”
Yu Yan took out a smoke grenade and threw it into the grass in front of him. The white fog rose rapidly, giving him cover.
[laoshu is very powerful. Don’t be impulsive, anchor ah, how about sniping him ba.]
Yu Yan rushed through the fog holding his AKM and quickly flashed behind a tree.
laoshu was almost within reach.
But Yu Yan once again took out another smoke grenade and threw it to the right.
laoshu immediately shot at it, spraying blindly into the white fog.
Yu Yan counted in his heart—35, 38, 40…
Upon reaching this moment, he didn’t hesitate and directly rushed out of the white fog. He accurately determined laoshu’s position, held his right mouse button to aim as he released a burst of gunfire, producing green blood with every shot.
laoshu had just emptied his magazine and had been reloading, so he was shocked by the sudden attack. He immediately swapped guns, blindly opened his scope, and tried to steadily aim at Yu Yan’s helmet. But as a result, as soon as he started firing, he was already knocked out——
[yanxyan knocked you down with an AKM]
The battle had ended too soon. Before the viewers could react, Yu Yan had raised his gun again and killed laoshu.
laoshu’s avatar suddenly fell to the ground, and a lootbox appeared next to Yu Yan.
Yu Yan took two steps forward and came to laoshu.
When the audience thought that he was going to loot, he suddenly reloaded, aimed at laoshu’s helmet again, and directly shot 40 bullets at the ground——
laoshu’s “corpse” vibrated and twitched as it was bombarded with bullets. At last, the corpse’s level two helmet disappeared, after Yu Yan continuously fired at it.
[Whipping a corpse, holy shit, very stimulating ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!]
[So terrible hahahaha]
[Comfy content.]
laoshu had never been humiliated in this way. His voice came out of another player’s microphone, “You fucking—”
“You thought using a cheat software would help you?”
He didn’t expect the other side to be so direct. laoshu was stunned and immediately choked up and retorted, “Laozi doesn’t use any cheat software!”
“Do you know why you’re so noob?” Yu Yan shot at the ground again.
His voice was a little colder than before as he stated, “Because you speak too much bullshit.”
