Chapter 17 - I just like to play with No. 2
Edited by Divetus and Noks
Just as he was about to start the match, Lu Xiuhe asked, “Xiao Yan, did you receive a friend request from that No. 4 ah?”
Yu Yan reflexively looked at the right side of the screen. “Don’t know.”
His game ID was displayed on his livestream page, so many stream followers would add him whenever they saw any open spots during a match. Plenty of friend requests just flashed by, and he absolutely wasn’t attentive to them at all.
As he said that, he directly clicked on the match button and almost instantaneously entered Manners Plaza.
“All right ba, then I’ll also reject his request.” Lu Xiuhe asked, “Where are we jumping to this time?”
Yu Yan looked at the map. “Shelter?”
Lu Xiuhe whined, “Why are we going there… Alright ba.”
After waiting for a bit and seeing that Boss had no objections, Yu Yan dropped a marker onto Shelter.
A few seconds later, the randomly matched teammate No. 3 spoke.
“Ah? Why are we landing at Shelter ya…” It was a girl’s voice. Her ya trailed for a long time, with a bit of coquettishness. “I have no sense of direction ah.”
Shelter had several different exits and connected tunnels within the base. The terrain of the tunnel was complex, and it was easy for teammates to accidentally part ways.
[WTF, another girl?? What kind of luck does this anchor have? We’re playing a game here?]
[What’s good about a girl? I don’t want to be matched with women. It’s basically three against four now.]
[Something wrong with the previous person’s brain? What’s bad about a girl, if there weren’t any girls, would you exist, bastard?]
[Still getting lost in Shelter? With 50 hours of playtime? It’s over. I feel that the anchor has brought two cute newbies into this match.]
Lu Xiuhe coughed and said in a deep voice, “It’s okay, girl. I’m here.”
Yu Yan laughed and didn’t continue the conversation. After landing, he found that 1 had just landed beside him, while Lu Xiuhe and No. 3 were still floating in the sky.
He had peeked at 1’s profile information in the game lobby, and he had really only played for a few hours. In just a dozen matches or so, he already had a better grasp at skydiving than Lu Xiuhe, who had played for over 600 hours.
The two of them entered a tunnel together. As soon as they entered, they saw an M16A4 placed on top of many sundries.
Yu Yan’s game character paused for a bit before bumping around, ready to leave that spot.
“You take it.” Yi Chen understood the other party’s intent to let him have the gun, and directly said, “It’s more useful to you.”
As soon as his voice fell, the sound of intense gunfire rang out around them.
There weren’t many people in the Shelter, but that didn’t mean it was empty. Yu Yan hesitated, but then picked up the gun, “Okay.”
No. 3 suddenly made a small “wow” sound.
Lu Xiuhe asked, “What’s the matter?”
The girl only spoke again after quite a while.
“Nothing…” She asked, “No. 1’s voice is so good. Are you a voice actor?”
Following that, the team voice channel was immediately thrown into a very awkward minute of silence.
“No, haha.” Lu Xiuhe mediated, and then asked, “Do you guys have anyone over there?”
“No one over here.” Yu Yan said, “Gunfire was on the right, be careful when you pass by. What did you pick up?”
Lu Xiuhe, who was afraid of being robbed, didn’t even think before saying, “Laozi’s definitely not telling you!”
Yu Yan picked up an M4. Holding two guns should be considered a level playing field. He glanced at his ammo and thought that there was enough, so he directly ran to the source of the gunshots.
“You guys can search first. I’ll go clear out the people on the right.”
“Ah, together ah.” Lu Xiuhe said, “I’m coming!”
A lot of people had jumped to Shelter this match. Including themselves, there seemed to be at least three teams. Yu Yan had walked to another tunnel when he was ambushed by an enemy hiding behind the sundries, resulting in him being shot and injured.
Lu Xiuhe only managed to arrive at this time. “Where are they? Where are the people?”
“On the opposite side of us, behind those things.” Yu Yan asked, “Do you have any meds?”
“A first-aid kit.” Lu Xiuhe paused and added, “Only have one.”
“Impossible.” Yu Yan lied through his teeth, “I saw you pick up three.”
“Bullshit! I only picked up two. What eyes did you use to see me pick up three??”
[ Bait successful!!]
[The anchor is really crafty lolololol]
Yu Yan laughed, “Give them all to me. When I’ve cleared out everyone, I’ll give you back four.”
Lu Xiuhe: “??”
Lu Xiuhe spat out, “Do you think I’m stupid or something? I’m not stupid enough to fall into the same pit twice!”
Ten seconds later, Yu Yan picked up two first-aid kits from the ground and healed himself back to 75% health.
Lu Xiuhe had arrived just in time. The enemy behind the sundries on the opposite side didn’t seem to be with his teammates, since so much time had passed but he still hadn’t dared to attack him.
Yu Yan said, “I’ll go up first, and you follow me.”
“No problem!”
After that, Yu Yan unexpectedly rushed up without any hesitation. The other side immediately returned fire. Countless bullets flew at him as his health bar reached the critically red stage.
His game character quickly jumped up and shifted the trajectory of the shots to fall downwards——
[You knocked down KKKUNZI17 with an M416]
Victory with just a sliver of health left.
He went up to finish off the enemy and asked, “Did you miss a shot?”
Lu Xiuhe questioned, “How could that be?”
“I saw everything.”
“…” Lu Xiuhe retorted, “Wasn’t it because you were in front of me? I was afraid of accidentally hurting you, that wouldn’t have been good.”
Yu Yan had simultaneously finished the enemy off and then opened their lootbox, looting every item.
It was quite a fat box.
Lu Xiuhe, who was following closely behind, looked dumbstruck.
“Holy crap, are you the devil? Where’s the loot?”
“He didn’t have anything.” Tossing out this sentence, Yu Yan didn’t even look back as he turned around to leave.
“Not even any first-aid kits? Weren’t you going to pay me back with four of them?”
“There’s not even one.” Yu Yan’s face wasn’t red, and his heartbeat was steady. “I only grabbed ten bandages. Do you want them, I’ll give you eight.”
Lu Xiuhe responded, “Good bro!”
[lololololololol I’m faint with laughter]
[Obviously just looted three first aid kits from the lootbox just now lolololololol]
[Extremely emotional brotherhood!]
Yu Yan continued moving right, and not unexpectedly, ran into two teams. However, there had already been a battle between the two teams that had left few survivors, thus he barely had to spend any effort in cleaning up all the remaining people.
“Umm,” No. 3 asked, “Has everyone been cleaned up?”
Yu Yan responded, “Still don’t know yet.”
“Can you pick me up first?” No. 3 asked in an aggrieved tone, “I’m lost.”
At this time, a shot suddenly rang out on the left.
It was just one shot, followed by silence. It didn’t sound like a sniper rifle, and eight or nine times out of ten, it was just an accidental discharge of a weapon.
The source of the sound came from the left. Yu Yan glanced at the map and saw that 1’s position was also on the left side.
“You can walk around by yourself and take the first exit you see ba.” Yu Yan didn’t hesitate running to the left.
“But I heard a gunshot, I don’t dare to move…”
“Then, you can hide behind the boxes and go out later.”
“…”
[???]
[At this time, shouldn’t you immediately rush to the girl’s side?]
[The anchor is too straightba. First, pick up the girl and then you can go to kill people ba.]
While talking, Yu Yan had already run to 1’s side.
“I heard something.” Yi Chen said, “Footsteps, ahead.”
Yu Yan was briefly taken aback and answered, “Okay, I’ll go and have a look…”
“Wait.”
With a crisp sound, an AKM appeared on the ground. “Don’t you prefer using this gun ba.”
When he watched the little anchor’s livestream, he noticed that this gun would basically be carried into the finals.
Yu Yan really did like using the AKM—it had a large recoil, but that didn’t impact him at all. In addition, he could kill people with level 3 helmets in just two shots and then use the AKM to snipe people in the late game. It was very suitable for unlucky players like himself.
He looked at the AKM on the ground and asked, “Yes… What’s the matter?”
“For you.”
Yu Yan didn’t seem to understand. “Ah?”
This reflexive sound he made sounded silly, and Yi Chen laughed and asked, “Do you want it?”
[The anchor’s M4 is almost fully loaded, why would he still want an AKM ah!]
Yu Yan replied, “Yes!”
“… Then I’ll take it.” He threw the M416 directly onto the ground and quickly picked up the AKM. “The M416 is missing a muzzle, but you can go ahead and use it.”
“Okay.”
[???]
[?? What is this? Boss, is this a new method to cheat people out of their gun?]
[Actually, the AKM really is better than an M4. All the more skilled players prefer to use the AKM.]
Yu Yan didn’t care about reading the barrage at all. Carrying the AKM, he rushed to the left of the Shelter area and finished the enemy off with a few shots.
In the semi-final round, a plane roared past. Yu Yan opened his scope and saw an airdrop box that was falling slowly.
“Fuck, our faces are about to smash into it. Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. If we don’t loot this airdrop, we’re not human.” Lu Xiuhe excitedly exclaimed.
The airdrop ended up landing in a very friendly position. It was just about ten meters away from the edge of the poison circle.
At this time, the next circle was about to appear. Everyone was basically busy outrunning the poison circle and claiming positions. It would be effortless for them to grab this airdrop.
Yu Yan was the first one to arrive at the airdrop box, but after taking just a glance at it, he turned around to run away.
Lu Xiuhe said, “Fuck, it couldn’t that you already finished looting everything ba? At least leave some for the girl ah.”
No. 3 said, “It’s okay, I don’t need anything…”
[Saying I don’t need anything… What does a 0 kill mobile lootbox expect?]
Lu Xiuhe ran to the airdrop box and said, “Eh? Xiao Yan, you didn’t even pick up the dog mix?”
The dog mix, GROZA, was considered the evolved form of the AKM. Compared to the AKM, it dealt more damage but had a larger recoil. Newbies basically couldn’t use it.
“Didn’t pick it up.” Yu Yan licked his lips. “… This AKM is already good enough.”
“Good, what’s good ah. You usually loot faster than anyone… Come back and pick it up, we’re all depending on you to eat chicken.”
“No need.” As he finished saying that, Yu Yan seemed to think of something. “1, do you want to use the GROZA? It’s an airdrop gun with high damage.”
“I also don’t need it.” Yi Chen said, “The gun you gave me is very stable. I’ll get used to it first.”
Bang—
A shot rang out, followed by No. 3’s voice, “Ahhhhhh!! Someone’s sniping at me!”
As soon as her voice fell, No. 3 was knocked down.
Yu Yan found cover behind a tree and opened his scope to look for the other players. “You guys lingered too long at the airdrop location.”
“Sorry ah.” No. 3 lowered her voice and said in an aggrieved tone, “No. 4, can you help me?”
Lu Xiuhe didn’t even think about it. “Coming!”
Yet, in the end, he only got to run two steps before another gunshot resounded. Lu Xiuhe had also gotten sniped by the enemy.
“Fuck me…”
No. 3 asked, “Why didn’t you dodge while running? Umm, No. 1, No. 2… Can you pull me up?”
Yu Yan found the enemy’s position, shot, and missed.
“It’s not easy to pull you up from your position. There are two enemies sandwiching you.”
“It’s okay. If you run unpredictably, or jump while running, it won’t be that easy to knock you down.” No. 3 dragged her voice. “Then, can No. 1 come?”
Didn’t get a response whatsoever.
Yu Yan pursed his lips and didn’t say anything more, calmly waiting for the other side to show his head.
The enemy was evidently an expert. Knowing that Yu Yan was aiming at him, he also didn’t hurry to expose himself and just hid behind the tree, waiting for Yu Yan to jump out to strike.
No. 3 finally bled to death. She sighed and murmured, “Forget it. If you don’t pull me up, you don’t pull me up ba.”
At this time, the opposite side finally showed his head. Yu Yan fired two shots and destroyed his level 3 helmet.
Simultaneously, a gunshot was fired from his side.
[Yii11c knocked down Lucifer-88 with an M416]
Taking advantage of the gap that Yu Yan had created by destroying the enemy’s helmet, 1 promptly shot at the enemy from another angle.
“Nice!” No. 3 said, “No. 1 little Gege is so powerful!”
Yu Yan also wanted to say something, but was blocked by No. 3. He pursed his lips and proceeded to open his scope again.
Yi Chen complimented, “Those two shots were beautiful.”
Yu Yan froze and couldn’t resist raising the corners of his mouth. “Your shot was also beautiful.”
“No. 1 little Gege, add me as a friend after this?” No. 3 continued, “Let’s play together later ya.”
[You’re going that far No. 3? Not clinging to No. 2’s thigh, but intent on harassing Boss, why?]
[Worth it!! From Boss’ voice !!! I could get pregnant on the spot !!!]
[Previous poster is too disturbing ba?]
[There’s something even more disturbing. I opened up his profile and found he’s actually a man.]
Yi Chen didn’t seem to hear No. 3 and asked, “Where’s the other remaining person?”
Yu Yan said, “… Behind the stone nearby?”
“Okay.”
“Hello?” When she didn’t get a response, No. 3 asked, “Can you hear me? Is my mic broken?”
Yi Chen responded, “Not adding you.”
“…” No. 3 didn’t expect to be rejected and perhaps felt a bit disgraced. She asked with a dry laugh, “Why ya?”
“You’re too noisy.”
With that, Yi Chen paused, and said in a bantering tone, “And… I just like to play with No. 2. No. 2, add me as a friend after this?”
Yu Yan was caught off guard by this cue. Adding on the effect of the powerful surround sound of his earphones, his hands shook, and bang—he had fired the gun accidentally.
“…”
“Will add.”

Juurensha: …so I tried to like No. 3 at first, but she was kind of obnoxious in the end. Yanyan was so cute though, insisting on toting around Boss Yi’s AKM even when he had better options.
Divi: No.3, the typical useless damsel in distress. Lu Xiuhe, the sucker. LMAO. Stop trying to hit on boys when you suck, it only works on thirsty boys!! Yanyan tho, should’ve taken the GROZA, it’s an everything better version of the AKM.
Noks: +1, Lu Xiuhe really is a sucker… Hahaha. I love the way Yanyan bullies him.
