Ch31 - Dared to try and rob someone from him?

Edited by yuuki, kat, and Noks

[Did God Xi use his sniper rifle as a telescope?]

[Sniper rifle: It’s fine if I lose face?]

[Lololololol sniper rifle telescope, because you’re worth it!]

Wen Xi switched to his sniper rifle and took aim at the person from just now. After making sure that his helmet had been knocked off and that he didn’t have a spare, he resolutely shot another arrow at him after his bow’s cooldown had refreshed!

[System] You killed Specsong with your bow.

Everything was settled!

Wen Xi, who had gotten his first kill of the match, happily put away his bow. It was only then that he saw that the barrage was “fighting against injustice” for the sniper rifle.

“No ah…” He tried to explain, “This distance was too far. The probability that I could get a headshot with a sniper rifle was 70%, while with a bow it was 90%, so of course I would switch to a bow.”

[You have a 70% chance of a headshot with a sniper rifle? Can you say that again with a clear conscience?]

[We all know Xixi’s gun marksmanship skills!]

Wen Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He was baffled by how quickly the direction the wind blew in could change in the barrage.

—A second ago, they had been suspicious about why he hadn’t used the sniper rifle, and in the next second, they were complaining about his gun skills.

To be fair, his gun marksmanship was much better than what it had been a month ago, okay?

Ever since the domestic trials had come to an end, he had gotten up early to practice with guns every day, without slacking off for even a single day.

However, he still used his bow more while he was livestreaming for effect, so maybe that was why he gave his stream followers the illusion that his gun marksmanship skills hadn’t improved at all?

Wen Xi was too lazy to explain, so he just went along with the barrage and said, “In fact, it’s like this: that person had just laughed at me for using a bow, so of course I wanted to let him feel the fear of being dominated by a bow ah. It has nothing to do with my gun marksmanship skills!”

Everything was fine before he said this, but after he said it, everyone instantly thought—so this was actually the person who had originally laughed at Wen Xi on the plane for using a bow?!

Wen Xi had said that he didn’t really care about it at that time, but he had still remembered it in his heart?

[So you’re actually this kind of God Xi!]

[Here’s solid evidence of Xixi having a blackbellied attribute!]

Wen Xi looked up at the ceiling and decided not to speak anymore.

Why did he feel like the more he said, the worse his situation became?

Using his bow, he made a ton of headshots and gathered a lot of kills.

The low-ranked matches on the overseas servers were full of newbies who only had basic equipment, so he could take out all of his helmet-less enemies with just a single arrow.

SGH was essentially a pay-to-play game. After all, it couldn’t be played without buying equipment. However, when it had been newly released, its developers had declared that it was a game where the players could make money as well.

This declaration didn’t count as a deception, since at least the gold coins in the game could really be converted into cash.

It was just that you couldn’t win without equipment, and if you couldn’t win, then you couldn’t get gold coins—if this wasn’t pay-to-play, then what was?

Therefore, winning gold coins while using only basic equipment had become the dream of every SGH player. This was why, in the low-ranked matches of both the national and overseas servers, you could see many people who, even after losing N times, still insisted on using basic equipment, and wouldn’t pay to play even if you kept killing them.

But as of today, only one person had really managed to accomplish this—he had used just a pistol to win first place.

En, that person was Mo Chen.

So every time Wen Xi took out a player, who was using only basic equipment, with a headshot from his bow, he couldn’t help but snicker in his heart—you want to copy Mo Chen’s success? No way!

For shooting games, there was nothing more refreshing than taking out an enemy with a headshot.

Wen Xi’s hands were on a roll today, pretty much getting a headshot with every arrow. Every time he got a headshot, his many stream followers would smash gifts on him, and it got to the point where he couldn’t even thank them all.

In the end, he finished the match with 13 kills, and placed first.

Just as he was ready to start queuing for another match, he suddenly saw a string of deep water torpedos smash down on him, which gave him quite a scare!

[System] Light has smashed 100 deep-water torpedos on you! Accompanied with the message: “Little Gege, add me as a friend?”

It had been a long time since Wen Xi had received 100 deep water torpedoes in one go, so it took him a while to react when he suddenly saw the prompt. “Ah… Thank you Light for the 100 deep water torpedoes. So you want to be friends? Then you can add me ba. ”

He clicked on his friends list as he spoke, and soon received a friend request from the ID Light.

He thought the other party would say something after he added them, but even after a long time passed, nothing happened.

Wen Xi didn’t mind it and kept going with the solo matches.

However, just when he had played games until 4 p.m., after which he ended his stream, the person with the ID Light sent him a message almost immediately.

Light: Heard you want to play professionally?

Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, before immediately realizing Light’s purpose in smashing deep water torpedoes on him and getting him to add him as a friend.

But he still sent out a probing question: Yes ah, what’s the matter?

Light: Are you interested in YEY? I’m the captain of YEY, Lightning. I was ordered by the club to recruit people!

Wency：!!!

Wen Xi had guessed that the other side would be trying to pull people in on behalf of a professional team, but he didn’t expect it to be YEY, and he also didn’t expect that this person would be YEY’s captain, Lightning.

His professional ID was Lightning, and his side account’s name was Light. He had to say that it seemed kind of lazy.

Light: If you agree to join YEY now, you may have a chance to play in the global finals oh~

Wency：?!

Wen Xi was so shocked that he didn’t know what to reply with.

He knew that he was good at archery, but that was just with a bow. Although his gun marksmanship skills had shown significant progress, it was definitely not up to the standards of a professional player.

At the beginning, when Mo Chen had invited him to play professionally, he had even felt that Mo Chen was joking with him. Later, he learned that Mo Chen was Mac, and it was only then that he believed that Mo Chen truly wanted to pull him into his own team.

Yet now, YEY’s team captain Lightning was personally trying to pull him, even saying that he had a chance of playing in the global finals?!

When Lightning tried to pull people to his team, it was done with absolute confidence.

Their YEY team had won the championship in the domestic selection competition of this season’s professional league, and he was the captain of YEY. So, he felt that if he personally tried to pull someone, he couldn’t fail, not to even mention the way Wency had expressed his desire to play professionally during his livestream.

But what he didn’t know was that Wen Xi had already promised Mo Chen to go to his team, and that Wen Xi had only decided to play professionally because of Mo Chen.

So after a period of time, Wen Xi responded—

Wency: Sorry, I refuse.

Light：???

In the training room, Lightning couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw him respond with the “I refuse.”

YEY’s coach was standing behind him, and when he saw Wen Xi’s reply, he pushed up his glasses with a finger and complained, “You’re so useless.”

“Wtf, then you try!” Lightning exclaimed without looking back. Refusing to accept defeat, he continued to try to bamboozle…no, to recruit people.

Light: Our team’s benefits are excellent! The salary is higher than MQ’s, and the prize money won in the competitions completely belongs to the team members!

Light: The club is super large, with food and housing all paid for!

Light: Wait, do you think I’m a fake? You can add me on QQ, and I’ll use a video call to talk to you!

Wen Xi could tell that the YEY team really wanted to recruit him, which gave him a bit of a headache.

He didn’t want to reject YEY, as this was a team that was worthy of being called strong. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it was the most powerful team in China.

However, no matter how strong the team, it couldn’t beat the appeal of being with Mo Chen.

Ultimately, Wen Xi added Lightning on QQ and replied with a sentence—

Wen Xi: No need for a video call. I know you’re real, but I’m no longer available.

Lightning: Wtf, someone was one step ahead of me? Tell me who it was! I’ll cut him off!

Wen Xi: …..

Lightning: Cough, hello Wen Xi, I’m YEY’s coach. Our family’s team captain has a hole in his brain, so please make some allowances for him. Excuse me, but which team has beaten us to the punch? Has the contract already been signed? If it hasn’t been signed, then we can double the amount of money being offered.

They switched people?

So now he was talking to YEY’s coach?

Wen Xi looked at his computer screen and suddenly had a very unreal feeling of being stuck in a dream.

He had never thought that he would become so popular.

However, what had already been decided was impossible to change.

Wen Xi: The contract hasn’t been signed, but I have already promised to go to his team, so I’m sorry.

Lightning: Which team?

YEY’s team captain and coach were both anxious to death. Meanwhile, Lightning’s teammates had become curious and drew closer.

“Wow, you guys can’t even pull one person in, how useless are you guys?”

“There’s actually someone who would refuse to come to our team?”

“Yi? Wen Xi?! Isn’t he that archer assassin?!”

With “all eyes fixed upon him,” Wen Xi replied with three words: Not telling you.

Lightning: ….

Wen Xi didn’t want to tell people about his agreement with Mo Chen, since he was afraid that it would cause some kind of harm to Mo Chen. He also was a bit lost on how to reply, so he simply said, “Not telling you.”

YEY’s coach stood up from his chair with a sigh. Lightning still wanted to coerce Wen Xi, but was stopped by his coach, who said, “Forget it, we can’t pull him to our team. Can’t you see how firm his attitude is? There’s probably a team that has been making py deals with him for a long time now.”

“It’s most likely MQ!” Lightning affirmed, “CC, that big villain! I’m going to go curse him out now!”

Coach: “….”

In this manner, MQ was given the largest share of the blame for no reason at all.

Just after he finished training, CC picked up his cellphone and immediately saw the pile of four character proverbs that had been sent to him by Lightning, such as “mean and shameless, insidious and cunning, valuing evil methods, worse than a beast,” and so on.

CC directly called him and asked, “What have you gone crazy about?”

Lightning replied, “Return my teammate to me!”

CC said, “Who dug up your teammate?”

Lightning told him the story, and CC explained himself. Lightning realized that he had misunderstood and asked, “If it isn’t you guys who recruited him ah…then who is it?”

CC said, “Oh, so you cursed me out, and now you’re not even going to apologize?”

Lightning replied, “Sorry, sorry.”

CC said, “Insincere.”

Lightning asked, “Then say what you want me to do ba?”

CC replied, “You added Wency’s QQ? Tell me his QQ ID.”

Lightning asked, “That’s it? Okay.”

After hanging up the call, Lightning screenshotted Wen Xi’s QQ account details and sent it to CC. After sending it, he realized—wait, something isn’t right ah! He had cursed out CC because he thought that CC had recruited Wen Xi. Now, he was taking the initiative to send Wen Xi’s QQ account to him, so what did this count as? When the time came and if CC actually managed to pull Wen Xi into MQ, who could he find to cry to?!

So, shortly after Wen Xi added CC, he received another message from Lightning.

Lightning: The person with the username of CC is a liar! Don’t add him!

Wen Xi was speechless—could this level of panic be even more obvious?

He didn’t pay attention to him. As for CC, Wen Xi took the lead in replying without waiting for the other party to explain his intentions: Thank you, I refuse.

CC：???

He hadn’t even said anything yet?

After that, Wen Xi didn’t pay attention to any more of Lightning and CC’s matters.

After dinner, he only rested for half an hour before starting to farm points in solo matches again.

Because he took first place several times in a row, his points flew up rapidly. By the time his livestream started in the evening, he had already successfully broken into the top 100 in the overseas servers!

Meanwhile, Blue Wolf’s rank was still…60-something.

After seeing Blue Wolf’s resolutely unmoving name in the rankings, Wen Xi wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry. He asked, “Wolf Ge, have you played in the overseas servers recently?”

Blue Wolf knew what he actually wanted to ask and let out a long sigh, replying, “I feel like I should start to learn how to put on makeup.”

Wen Xi couldn’t help laughing and said, “Don’t give up ah, there’s still half a month left!”

“Yeah, there’s still more than half a month,” Blue Wolf said, and asked profoundly, “What rank are you now?”

Wen Xi looked at his current ranking: 96

En… He didn’t seem to be qualified to laugh at Blue Wolf.

But he was still not ready to give up!

“Today I’ll end my livestream three hours in advance,” Wen Xi said.

Blue Wolf surrendered, “What are you going to livestream in a damn hour?”

Wen Xi replied, “I still want to give you some face.”

Blue Wolf: “…. ”

[Hahahahahaha Wolf Ge is not going to be able to save any face soon!]

[I heard that Wolf Ge is 1.8 meters tall. Will the skirt have to be custom ordered?]

[Xixi, you should also stop struggling, and start arranging your women’s clothing!]

Wen Xi replied, “No, I feel like I can still rescue myself.”

After having said this, Wen Xi fought more and more fiercely and viciously in the next few matches.

He only played two duo matches with Blue Wolf, both of which lasted for less than half an hour. Therefore, in the end, he ended his livestream a little more than three hours earlier than usual.

After ending his livestream, he of course kept farming points in solo matches.

In fact, Wen Xi had thought about whether he wanted to farm points while livestreaming. However, the livestream would often cause the game to freeze. Additionally, when he got really focused on playing the game, he became completely silent.

Therefore, after repeatedly considering it, he finally decided to completely separate his livestream from farming points—when livestreaming, he should just concentrate on livestreaming, and when farming points, he should just focus on farming points.

Wen Xi farmed points for three hours in one go. Besides not taking first place in the first match, he obtained first place in the next few matches. With the addition of this winning streak, Wen Xi broke into the top 90.

He calculated that, based on this schedule, if he won ten or so matches in a row every day for the latter half of the month, it was still possible to reach the agreed-upon goal.

Win….ten or so matches….in a row every day….

Wen Xi sighed, rubbing his slightly sore wrists, and knew that he could not continue today.

Right when he was ready to take a shower and go to bed, he received a message from Mo Chen.

Mo Chen: Are you asleep?

Wen Xi: Not yet.

Mo Chen: Go to sleep.

Wen Xi: ….

So this person was just here to remind him to sleep?

Mo Chen: From now on, you’re not allowed to go to sleep past midnight.

Wen Xi: You’re also not asleep!

Mo Chen: I’m in bed.

Wen Xi: I’m in bed too!

En, Wen Xi was really sitting on the edge of the bed right now, about to take off his clothes and go shower.

Mo Chen: Oh, then let’s sleep together ba.

Wen Xi: …..

What kind of terrifying words were these? Wen Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He suddenly felt a strong desire to play a trick on Mo Chen. He thought of the two strong teams that had come to pull him to their teams, one after another, so he sounded out Mo Chen’s opinion on it by telling him.

Wen Xi: By the way, the team captains of YEY and MQ came to find me today.

Originally, Mo Chen was already lying in bed and was ready to go to sleep. However, once he suddenly saw this sentence, his heart was shocked, and sleep suddenly deserted him.

Like a carp jumping out of the water, he sat up in his bed, closing QQ on his phone and opening his cellphone’s web browser. He typed “YEY and MQ anti materials” into the search box, then clicked “search.”

They dared to try and rob someone from him? Just you wait!

—

Juurensha: Ohhhhhhh, poor YEY and MQ hahahaha. Although I do like Lighting and CC’s interactions, quite fun.

Noks: Lightning and CC’s interactions give off somewhat of a CP feel, don’t they? OwO
