Ch54 - Saw your guys’ show.

Edited by kat

Mo Chen only appeared on the screen for a moment, but that flash of his smile was embedded into everyone’s mind.

The scene suddenly fell into silence, and even the casters forgot to speak.

The screen began to show the replay of Wen Xi knocking down Mo Chen with a headshot with an arrow, but almost everyone’s thoughts were distracted.

——They were all focused on Mo Chen’s momentary smile just now.

They didn’t expect that a person who was always so expressionless and iceberg-like would be so lethal when they smiled.

Mo Chen’s teammates and coaches were already used to it, but they also hadn’t expected Mo Chen to also be like this during a formal competition. Furthermore, they hadn’t expected that the director would even give Mo Chen screen time right at that time.

Chen Xiao raised his hand to cover his eyes, unable to bear to look at it directly.

Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Compared with the people at the scene, the reactions on the livestream barrages of the major platforms were more direct.

[awsl]

[AHHHHHHHH WHAT KIND OF IMMORTAL LOVE IS THIS!]

[This smile is too doting ba!]

A-Yi found his voice again after great difficulty, and pretended that nothing had happened just now. He quickly commented on the process of Wen Xi knocking Mo Chen down with a headshot with an arrow.

At the end of the replay, the director cut the camera back to Wen Xi. He had switched to a sniper rifle, and landed three shots in a row on someone attacking Mo Chen, knocking them down. Then, he carried the gun and rushed towards Mo Chen, throwing a smoke grenade in his direction.

“Fuck! Is this a scene of crazily protecting your husband?” At last, someone at the scene couldn’t stand it any longer and asked, “Is it really okay to play solo matches like this?!”

“Of course it’s okay, it’s within the scope of the rules,” someone responded.

After Wen Xi knocked down Mo Chen, he let out a surprised “ah” and then said instinctively, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to!”

It was only after he spoke that he remembered that this was a solo match, and Mo Chen couldn’t hear his voice.

He was a bit helpless, and wanted to prove that he didn’t mean to do that. To his surprise, an opportunity quickly arose—He used his sniper rifle to aim at someone who was aiming at Mo Chen, and as soon he saw him, he fired.

He quickly fired three shots at the enemy. Because he was too frantic, he didn’t accurately aim and failed to headshot him, but he still successfully knocked out the other party’s armor and then knocked him down.

In order to protect Mo Chen from being killed by the man, he had to shift in Mo Chen’s direction and throw out a smoke grenade.

Mo Chen didn’t like smoke grenades because they greatly affected his sight, but he knew that Wen Xi wanted to protect him with it, so he laughed helplessly.

After he saved himself with a bandage, he turned and fired a shot at that person’s position!

Bang!

[CLM-Momo killed FFF-Bow with a headshot with a sniper rifle!]

“What?!” some people exclaimed at the scene, but most people hadn’t even figured out what was going on yet.

——The smoke hadn’t even disappeared yet, but Mo Chen got a headshot in a single shot, and even finished someone off? How did he aim at him?!

“Beautiful!” At this point, Caster A-Yi could count as having caught up to the pace of these two people. “Mac… Momo has always had a very accurate sense of hearing when it comes to determining someone’s direction. He probably found Bow’s location from the gunshot just now, so even if his vision is limited, he successfully killed the other party!”

“Even so, a headshot is too showy ba!” Bunny Ji couldn’t help but marvel, “How accurate does your hearing have to be to achieve a headshot even in smoke? Scopes become meaningless to a player like Momo!”

Wen Xi saw the kill prompt in the upper right corner of his screen. He was stunned, and then the corner of his lips rose—worthy of Mo Chen.

After they met, they never separated again and began to crazily reap the enemies around them.

If they could be said to have played cautiously before their rendezvous, then after they met up, they fought unbridled and unrestrained!

“They’re too fired up!”

“They’re completely crushing everyone!”

Squad matches also needed team cooperation, but solo matches were completely a display of personal strength.

Mo Chen and Wen Xi’s personal strength was excellent, but then coupled with their inborn tacit understanding, the first solo match of the spring competition had completely turned into their hunting ground!

“Okay, we can now see that the scope of the third circle has already been refreshed, and it is actually in the forest area. CLM needs to hurry up and move!” A-Yi said.

Bunny Ji commented, “Yes, although CLM has gotten the highest kill points in the game, the ranking points are also very important. YEY and MQ have already received two circles of destiny in succession. Can they make a counter-attack with their points!”

With their comments, the director finally gave YEY a shot.

The audience broke down in an instant, and the barrage in the livestream also started howling.

[No! I still want to see MoXi CP!]

[Writing in my own blood to beg to see God Xi’s face!]

[Ahhhhhhhh don’t change the perspective! Quickly turn back!]

However, there were also YEY fans protesting:

[Calm down, everyone calm down, isn’t Lightning cute? Isn’t Run fierce?]

[Hahahahaha Run is cute no matter how fierce he is.]

The two players who had gone up for YEY were Lightning and Run. Both of them like to attack people openly and viciously, spraying whoever popped up.

Their tacit understanding wasn’t very good, so they simply split up, one crazily mopping up enemies within the circle, while the other stood at the edge of the safe zone and shamelessly blocked people.

In contrast, the tacit understanding between CC and Ax of the MQ team was better. Ax cooperated with CC the entire time, shooting at whoever CC was shooting at.

“It’s a solo competition, but most teams still chose to cooperate together,” Bunny Ji said.

“Yes,” A-Yi echoed, “CLM is now moving to the safe zone. YEY and MQ are in the forest area, so I don’t know when these three strong teams will have to fight each other.”

“YEY and MQ should meet first ba,” Bunny Ji guessed.

“Not necessarily, I think YEY and MQ are consciously avoiding each other.”

A-Yi’s guess was right.

Different from the training match, both YEY and MQ had been consciously avoiding CLM and, of course, avoiding each other.

After all, their goal wasn’t to distinguish themselves in a single battle, but to maintain the highest points until the domestic trials in the second half of the year, and then take part in the global competition as one of the top two teams in the country.

So, even if they saw that post analyzing Wen Xi, they didn’t dare to take risks like the other teams.

However, they still all met each other in the third circle, and a fierce battle broke out!

“CC takes the lead in knocking down Run with a sniper rifle! But Run’s reaction was very fast, and he threw a smoke grenade as soon as he could… Ax threw a grenade at the smokescreen!”

For a moment, the battle situation became very fierce, and caused people’s eyes to blur. Fortunately, A-Yi’s eyesight and speaking speed were both very fast, so he could barely keep pace with his commentary, “Ax failed to blow up Run! Lightning is rushing over!”

Although Lightning and Run had split up, they had a rough estimate of where the other one was.

Therefore, after hearing sounds coming from over where Run was, Lightning guessed that he was in danger. After running for a few steps, he knew that he couldn’t get there in time, so he switched to his sniper rifle and fired two shots in Ax’s direction.

The first shot missed, while the second shot hit his shoulder.

A-Yi exclaimed, “Lightning failed to knock down Ax, but successfully bought time for Run! Run is up again!”

Rabbit Ji said, “Run knocked down Ax with an assault rifle!”

A-Yi continued, “But at almost the same time, CC knocked down Run again!”

CC and Ax weren’t close to each other. However, after the first shot knocked down Run, CC had immediately moved in his direction. When he fired his second shot, there was only 300m between him and Run.

So after he used his sniper rifle to fire that shot, he immediately changed to his assault rifle and finished off Run with a headshot!

“Ah! Unexpectedly, CC killed Run first!” Bunny Ji froze for a while before exclaiming.

A-Yi added, “CC is really an all-rounder. He uses his sniper rifle and assault rifle really well. Under his leadership, the MQ team has made remarkable progress. It seems that the YEY will face some danger in this match…”

Before A-Yi could finish talking, an arrow suddenly flew in from who knew where and accurately pierced through CC’s head!

CC’s helmet and spare helmet were destroyed in the previous battle, so this arrow directly emptied out his health and didn’t give him a chance to get up again.

[CLM-Wency killed MQ-CC with a headshot with a bow!]

The kill prompt suddenly appeared in the top right corner of the screen. After a brief silence at the scene, a fierce cheer burst out!

“AHHHHH, here comes the archer assassin!”

“Fuck! It was really one shot to kill!”

“Who said one shot to kill was an exaggeration? Quickly come out and get beaten!”

And Wen Xi arriving meant that Mo Chen had also come.

[CLM-Momo killed YEY-Lightning with a headshot with a sniper rifle!]

CC and Lightning, the captains of the two strong teams, were killed one after another. The casters had practically gone silly from watching.

A-Yi, who had been praising CC and MQ just a second ago, was very embarrassed. “…this really is the mantis stalking the cicada with the oriole about to eat him from behind ah. The two members of the CLM team had already inconspicuously entered the safety zone!”

With the appearance of those two people, the livestream’s barrage was also lively, and a lot of comedians emerged.

[Wency: Hello~ Are you four playing mahjong? Take me along too~ (kills CC with one arrow)]

[Momo: Take me as well~ (offs Lightning with a shot)]

[Hahahahahaha, two posters before, don’t leave! It’s so beautiful!]

[A Murder Caused By Mahjong!]

[However, now they still need a fourth player for the mahjong game.]

[No, they’re missing two now.]

Shortly after CC and Lightning were killed, Ax, the only surviving member of the two teams, failed to escape Wen Xi and Mo Chen’s pursuit. He managed to save himself with bandages, but was then headshotted by Mo Chen, and instantly finished off by Wen Xi.

When the two people fired at almost the same time, you couldn’t tell who was cooperating with whom. It was more like they were aiming at the same target at the same time.

However, it was precisely because of this that the cooperation between the two of them could almost be called a miracle.

“Momo knocked them down and Wency finished them off, too fast! They don’t give anyone any time to react!” A-Yi said, “Both YEY and MQ were wiped out at the same time. It seems that there’ll be no suspense about who will take first in this match!”

“My God! CLM with Wency is really strong!” Bunny Ji said, “This speed of finishing people off is faster than that of any other player in the past! Mac…… Momo really pulled a bug into the team!”

“Hahaha, Momo himself is already very buggy. Now, with the two of them working together, it’s no different than running a bot!”

Both professional players and ordinary players hated the words “running a bot”, but at this moment, both the live audience and the netizens watching the livestream all agreed with A-Yi’s words.

——This was running a bot ah!

Chen Xiao had originally been even more nervous than Mo Chen and Wen Xi before the competition, but now he was watching the game in a relaxed state.

He felt that he was already not watching the competition, but watching two stars ascend.

He had no doubt that at this year’s domestic trials, CLM would definitely be able to qualify, and would certainly create a miracle in the global finals, letting the whole world marvel at their strength!

After CC and Lightning were killed one after another, they were stunned for a long time. They hadn’t expected that they would die so quickly. At the same time, they also had a kind of deep sense of powerlessness.

This feeling was just like a mantis raising its arms to try and stop a chariot—They had thought themselves strong enough that when they met Mo Chen and Wen Xi, they wouldn’t say that they could kill them ba, but at least they could fight back for a bit. However, in the end they didn’t even have time to struggle.

But neither of them would admit defeat.

Lightning hit the table and firmly said, “Stinking rogues! We’ll see how you look during the squad matches!”

Although CC didn’t roar like Lightning, he still clenched his fist—I definitely won’t lose next time.

However, although the two of them had retired early, they still had quite a lot of kills in their hands, second only to CLM.

“It’s too bad for both YEY and MQ! Now let’s see if CLM can survive to the end ba!” A-Yi said.

Just as he said this, a kill prompt flashed in the upper right corner.

[QAQ-LY killed DOL-Ming with a headshot with a sniper rifle!]

With the exception of QAQ and DOL team members, almost no one paid attention to this prompt, but all the CLM team members did.

After all, LY—Lan Yan, had been a member of their team.

“A-Yan is developing well in QAQ?” Chen Xiao asked reflexively.

“Who knows,” Liu Weizhe said indifferently, “Anyway, he’s not in our team anymore, so who cares about him.”

Chen Xiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “…I always thought A-Chen was the coldest and most detached. I didn’t expect that it was actually you.”

Liu Weizhe was silent for a moment and replied, “Lan Yan said he was pretty good.”

“He said?” Chen Xiao was surprised but quickly realized, “The two of you are still in contact?”

Liu Weizhe didn’t respond.

Chen Xiao helplessly smiled and said, “Well, then that is good.”

Liu Weizhe pursed his lower lip and suddenly said, “I will also go to the global competition this time.”

Chen Xiao paused. “What about your studies?”

Liu Weizhe replied, “Studies schmudies.”

Make-up exams, applying for a delay in exams, and if he really couldn’t do anything else, taking a leave of absence like Mo Chen—He could always find a way.

Anyway, this time, whatever he said, he would follow the team—in order to minimize the likelihood of accidents and to let Wen Xi and Mo Chen take part in the competition and play normally.

Liu Weizhe didn’t like games. Let alone SGH, he wasn’t interested in any games at all. At first, he had agreed to be the manager of CLM just because he couldn’t bear to refuse Chen Xiao’s request.

However, after staying in CLM for a long time, he could feel the desire of the entire CLM team for the championship title. It was to the point that he also began to grow enthusiastic, and wanted to lend a helping hand and embrace the championship with them.

The competition was still going on, and the poison circles refreshed one by one. Mo Chen and Wen Xi had multiple incidents where they didn’t have enough time to enter the circle, and they lost a terrifying amount of health. Fortunately, in the end, they were more scared than hurt, and both of them entered the circle.

“How many circles has it been?”

Compared with the early stages, this late stage of the game was much longer and more boring, because the number of people in the field was far less, and everyone spent much more time running away from the poison circle than confronting each other.

Bunny Ji had gotten distracted and forgotten which circle this was, so she reflexively asked this question.

Fortunately, A-Yi still remembered. “This is the seventh.”

“The seventh circle?!”

“My God, it’s been half an hour!”

At the seventh circle, the duration of the game had just reached half an hour.

SGH games rarely lasted more than half an hour. Once this happened, it showed—some people on the field were very good at hiding away, and were trying to hide and survive until the very end.

A-Yi said, “There are only four players left alive. In addition to the two in CLM, there is also Hanna, the captain of the FFF team, and Bunny of the QAQ team!”

A-Yi had just finished speaking when Hana died.

Bunny Ji exclaimed, “Hana didn’t enter the circle and was poisoned to death outside the circle! There are only three people left standing!”

A-Yi added, “There’s less than a minute left before the eighth circle shrinks. The three of them wouldn’t be able to make it in time, so next we’ll see who has more medicine on them!”

If they were going to compete with medicine, then Mo Chen and Wen Xi weren’t going to wuss out.

They had killed a lot of people, so they had also picked up a lot of medicine.

However, Wen Xi had seldom played until such a late stage in the game. He didn’t have much experience in competing with medicine against others, and was still a little nervous.

No one expected that the last circle would be set at the junction of the city and the desert. The terrain of the city area was complex and there were so many rooms, which were very suitable for hiding in.

Bunny was now hiding in one of the rooms.

As long as he didn’t attack Mo Chen or Wen Xi, Mo Chen and Wen Xi wouldn’t know his position.

Bunny Ji commented, “I can see that QAQ’s Bunny is already ready to compete with medicine against CLM, but can he beat CLM?”

A-Yi replied, “If it was duo, the two CLM people could definitely beat him by passing all their medicine to one person, but it’s a solo match. It’s really uncertain who has more medicine.”

Bunny Ji commented, “Yes, Bunny’s kill count isn’t as high as Momo’s or Wency’s, but we don’t know his route from the beginning of the game until now. Maybe he picked up a lot of medicine on the way, just for this moment?”

Bunny was the team captain of Lan Yan’s current team, and just like Chen Wei, he liked to hide and survive.

However, he was more daring than Chen Wei. He clearly knew when to hide and when to rush out and take kills, and he was obsessed with looting things.

Lan Yan had been poisoned to death in the fifth circle. Bunny had just endured the poison and taken all the medicine off of his body with him.

Therefore, Lan Yan was very confident about his current captain.

——Even if he couldn’t win in the end, he had better odds than going up directly against both Mo Chen and Wen Xi.

As time went by, the discussion on the scene gradually faded down. Almost all the people looked at the big screen while holding their breath, waiting for the moment when the results were announced.

Under everyone’s nervous gazes, the eighth circle refreshed! The three people in the poison ring began to give themselves medicine at almost the same time!

One first-aid kit, two first-aid kits, three first-aid kits…

“Nine first-aid kits, ten!” Caster A-Yi also grew more and more nervous as he watched. “None of the three have given up, and they’re all still using first-aid kits! My God, how many first-aid kits did they pick up!”

Just having finished saying that, Wen Xi ran out of first-aid kits and started to use bandages. Bandages could be applied faster than first-aid kits, but they recovered less health.

Then, almost at the time he applied a second bandage, Bunny ran out of first-aid kits!

“My God, I don’t dare to keep watching!” Bunny Ji said, and actually closed her eyes.

And two seconds after she closed her eyes, Bunny’s bandages ran out, and he died!

Wen Xi still had two bandages, but he could tell that he wouldn’t be able to keep up his health much longer. Suddenly, the picture froze, and the words “YOU WIN” appeared on his screen.

“The winner is Wency!” A-Yi exclaimed excitedly, but after shouting, he suddenly found that he had missed something very important. “Wait, Momo doesn’t have bandages?”

He remembered that when Wency started using bandages, Momo had still been using first-aid kits. How could it be that Momo died first?

The director cooperatively gave a replay of Mo Chen’s perspective. Before Bunny’s death, he was still using first-aid kits. After Bunny’s death, his shortcut bar clearly still had first-aid kits, but he didn’t use them anymore. Instead, he allowed his health bar to fall at a terrible speed and died in the battle.

A-Yi: ….

A-Yi didn’t want to explain this scene, really.

“There are plainly still first-aid kits, but he didn’t use them… It looks like a mistake!” Bunny Ji began to talk nonsense with a poker-face, “I never thought that the number one sharpshooter god would also have times where he makes a mistake ah! It’s probably because he rarely competes with medicine against others and has a lack of experience in this respect ba!”

Hearing this, the barrage on the live screen couldn’t hold it in any longer.

[Hahahahahaha Bunny Ji….]

[Do you yourself believe what you’re saying, Bunny Ji? (laugh cry emoji)]

[Laughing to death, Bunny Ji is also too cute!]

In fact, after watching Mo Chen’s overindulgent smile, everyone understood—this was Mo Chen silently spoiling his wife at the end of the game. He could obviously win first place, but he gave that rank over to Wen Xi.

However, although these kinds of words could be discussed in private, the casters couldn’t irresponsibly “gossip”.

After listening to Bunny Ji’s serious nonsense, A-Yi also didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to say something to save the scene, “No, no, no, it’s not a mistake. All the players from the other teams were killed, so whoever won first place would be from CLM. Momo didn’t think it was necessary to fight with his teammates, so he didn’t keep competing with medicine ba!”

Bunny Ji exclaimed, “So it’s like that!”

When they heard this, the barrage nearly went crazy with laughter.

[Hahahaha being a caster is too hard!]

[A-Yi is also very cute!]

But more people were still screaming for the MoXi CP.

[AHHHHHHH, Momo is too doting!]

[Momo was even knocked down by Xixi on the way here, but he still finally let Xixi win the championship.]

[Yes, it’s like having domestic violence with your wife and then coaxing her to be happy.]

[Lolololol previous poster!]

Wen Xi couldn’t see Mo Chen’s screen, so naturally, he didn’t know that he had been let off in the end. He was still thinking—Eh? I thought Mo Chen’s bag had more medicine than mine. Didn’t expect that it was almost the same ma~

He thought this until he stepped down for a break. When he took his water thermos from Coach Chen Xiao, he found that Chen Xiao, Ling Shuyi, and Chen Wei all had tangled expressions of “I can’t eat this dog food anymore”.

Wen Xi held the thermos in both hands and looked at their expressions, before turning his head suspiciously to ask, “What’s the matter?”

Chen Xiao sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “It’s okay. You guys played very well.”

“Yes, very well,” Chen Wei echoed, “The whole game saw your guys’ show.”

Wen Xi unscrewed the lid of the thermos and drank his water. He thought—En, he showed off his skills to his heart’s content.

Just after he thought this, Ling Shuyi said helplessly, “Yes ah, a whole show of love.”
