Ch80 - Domestic Trials 3

Edited by kat

Stealing other people’s kills felt very cool, but getting your own kills stolen felt very uncool.

Wen Xi had just been about to take his tenth kill, but he was robbed by Jiang Xinyi and missed it by a breath.

However, the stream followers in the livestream were delighted by what they saw and heard:

[Hahahahaha, we’ve come full circle!]

[Heaven’s turns are absolute, and no one can refute them!]

[Congratulations on Xiao Xin’s happy bickering couple’s package!]

Caster A-Yi couldn’t help but tease, “This CLM team is also too interesting ba! Their teammates are just fancily stealing kills from each other!”

“Hahaha, yes!” Bunny Ji agreed, “Is their daily training just stealing kills from each other?”

However, the two casters were professionals after all, so they quickly returned to a serious topic after a few jokes.

A-Yi said, “The screen now is showing the playback from Newing’s perspective. You can see that before Wency shot his first arrow, he had already aimed at 3F’s Bow. Obviously, he realized that Bow was in a dangerous position, so he was lying in wait for the kill!”

Bunny Ji exclaimed, “Yes! This contestant Newing is really good at stealing kills ah! More than half of his kills were snatched from others. Now he has eight, second only to Wency!”

A-Yi said, “CLM is really interesting, even stealing kills from teammates. In fact, it also has something to do with the number of people they entered.”

Bunny Ji said, “That’s true. CLM is the only team with five players participating. We just don’t know how many players will be promoted in the end.”

After Bunny Ji finished speaking, two kill prompts appeared in the upper right corner of the large screen at the same time, both showing Chen Wei’s ID.

“Windy got two kills with one grenade!” A-Yi noticed these two prompts in time, and quickly asked the director to cut the perspective over to Chen Wei. They discovered that he already had five kills in hand!

“Windy is so fierce this season ah!” Bunny Ji couldn’t help sighing emotionally.

Although Chen Wei had a lot of brilliant performances during the summer games, but until the final circle, he pretty much never had more than ten kills.

Now, the second circle had just refreshed, and the position of the third circle had just been announced, and he already had five kills. This progress was really amazing.

Now that Chen Wei was mentioned, A-Yi had to say, “Windy should count as this year’s dark horse. It hasn’t been easy for him to walk this far. Based on my impression, he seems to have been constantly shifting roles.”

“Yes. At first, he was only the support for CLM’s squad matches. Later, during the solo matches, he obtained the title of ‘Hiding God.’ Even later, he seems to have been called by people online….what was it again?” Bunny Ji couldn’t remember the nickname for a moment.

A-Yi helped out just in time, “Grenade King.”

BunnyJi exclaimed, “Yes, yes, yes, Grenade King! Because he’s a good shot with grenades ma!”

“He really is,” A-Yi said, “You can see that this year, Windy has been working hard to transform into an assault. However, his gun isn’t as stable as Kitty’s, so he still suffers in direct gun battles. But I think he should have now found another way to compensate for this, which is throwing grenades.”

Bunny Ji said, “Yi? In this way, it isn’t impossible for all five members of CLM to advance to the global competition?”

At the beginning of the game, when they saw that CLM had sent in five people, whether it was the audience or the players from other teams, they all felt that all five people couldn’t be promoted.

The audience was basing this on probability—With more than 50 teams competing for only eight spots, how could it be possible that CLM could grab five spots, leaving only three spots for the other teams?

Other teams thought—being from the same team, there would have to be a certain degree of mutual assistance, and based on the current competition system, if a teammate got help, that meant that some teammates would need to be sacrificed. The possibility of all five members getting into a deadlock was low, so a normal coach would choose to let some of them assist the others to ensure that they could hit their quota.

However, when the game really started, everyone from CLM performed amazingly.

Mo Chen and Wen Xi didn’t need to be mentioned. Even if they didn’t live to the end, they would definitely cut a bloody swathe through their enemies and wouldn’t have a small number of kills in their hands.

Ling Shuyi’s ID was Cat, but he was fierce like a tiger. He relied on his faster than average reaction speed to face off against people in gunfights without a shred of fear.

Jiang Xinyi strategized, while Chen Wei waited for the right opportunity to move, and then using all of their strength, they stole all the kills they could steal.

There really was no mutual assistance between them, and they all depended on their own abilities.

Let alone mutual assistance, they even stole the kills of their teammates. They were all crazy.

Some of the players on other teams who hadn’t gotten to play couldn’t sit still the more they watched.

“Holy crap, what are you guys doing ah? Kill them ah! At least kill one of them!”

“If the early stage is like this, then how will they play in the middle and late stages? It will be all of CLM’s people!”

“The final circle will be CLM abusing everyone at their own pace!”

“What? Based on this trend, can people from other teams even break into the final circle?”

Soon, the fourth poison ring was refreshed, and less than 25 people remained on the field.

All of CLM had survived, accounting for a full one-fifth of the survivors!

At this time, the most nervous players weren’t the teams who had already been eliminated, but the teams that still had teammates on the field.

They held their breath and stared at the big screen without blinking, for fear that their teammates would be destroyed by the members of CLM in the blink of an eye.

However, the first person to die in the fourth circle was actually from CLM.

——It was Ling Shuyi.

He had finally managed to run into the circle, but then collided with Lightning. The two faced off in a gun battle, and in the end Lightning, with a sliver of health remaining, won over Ling Shuyi. Ling Shuyi was killed in battle.

Looking at his gray screen, Ling Shuyi took a deep breath before checking his ranking and kill count—24th place, 10 kills.

Under the new competition system, only the top three places would get additional points, so in other words, there was no difference between 24th place and 4th place. It all depended on their kill scores.

Ling Shuyi didn’t know how many kills the others had taken, but he reckoned that Mo Chen and Wen Xi couldn’t have fewer heads than him. Therefore, when rounding up, he, who had taken 10 kills, had a chance to be in the top eight!

Shortly after Ling Shuyi’s death, Lightning was also headshotted by Fu Feijie, MQ’s sniper. When he was killed, he had eight kills in his hand. Therefore, although he had survived longer than Ling Shuyi, his score wasn’t higher than Ling Shuyi’s.

After the fifth circle was refreshed, Mo Chen and Wen Xi met again, and they started to cooperate with each other. One of them would knock someone down, and the other would finish them off. In this way, they killed off three people in a row.

During this process, CC also took two kills with the cooperation of his teammate Fu Feijie, including killing off Jiang Xinyi.

“Aiya, it’s a pity about Newing,” Bunny Ji couldn’t help feeling sorry for that. Jiang Xinyi was her favorite player, perhaps because he was the only player in the competition who relied more on strategy than on technique.

Unfortunately, as the circle shrank and shrank, his range of movements also shrank. In addition, he was unlucky and bumped into two members of MQ and was basically pressed and ground into the dirt.

“It’s alright, Newing has enough kills in his hands,” A-Yi comforted Bunny Ji, “Don’t forget, the competition system has changed, so only the top three can get ranking points.”

Bunny Ji said, “That’s true oh.”

While they were talking, several more people were killed. According to the information in the upper right corner of the players’ screens, only five people were still alive on the field.

Mo Chen and Wen Xi were directly fighting against CC and Fu Feijie, with neither side having any intentions of hiding or competing with medicine.

Just like when assaults got into gun battles, when snipers faced off, it also tested their psychological quality, and they also needed to predict their opponent’s movements.

When to take the lead, when to shoot, and what to do to keep the initiative in your own hands—a lot of information was tumbling around in Wen Xi’s mind, where his final victory or defeat could be determined by a single thought.

Wen Xi took the lead in shooting an arrow in Fu Feijie’s direction. He predicted Fu Feijie’s path and deliberately aimed the arrow’s landing location a bit further back.

With a shhptt sound, the sound of bow twanging and the arrow hitting was an incredibly nice sound!

[System] You knocked down MQ-FFJ with a headshot with a bow

Almost at the same time this prompt popped up, CC headshotted and knocked down Wen Xi, and Mo Chen also headshotted and knocked down CC at the same time!

As a result, Mo Chen became the dominant person, and decisively finished off Fu Feijie before finishing off CC with a shot!

Then, a serious question arose—was he going to kill Wen Xi?

Mo Chen pretended to give himself some medicine, wanting to borrow this period of time to think about what he should do.

Anyway, if he really couldn’t do anything else, then he could just do what he did before and throw a grenade and “die for love” with Wen Xi bei.

Just after thinking that, a grenade appeared at his feet.

Wen Xi reacted in an instant and immediately rolled to the side after saving himself. On the other hand, Mo Chen had just wanted to throw a grenade, so he didn’t react at first when he saw the grenade.

So after the bang——

[CLM-Windy killed CLM-Momo with a frag grenade!]

[CLM-Windy killed CLM-Wency with a frag grenade!]

The words “YOU WIN” appeared on the big screen, but this unexpected ending made many people unable to react at first, so the scene completely fell into silence.

That was, until A-Yi couldn’t help laughing, “Hahahaha a standard one grenade, two kills! I thought that ‘Grenade King’ was people online mocking Windy, but now I think they were really right!”

Bunny Ji exclaimed, “My God! Windy’s last grenade was really amazing! I originally thought that since it was already the final circle, the champion would either be Momo or Wency. I never expected that they would both die under Windy’s grenade!”

A-Yi commented, “This way of wiping out a whole family is orderly and neat.”

Hearing A-Yi’s words, the entire barrage laughed madly:

[Hahahahaha A-Yi!]

[There’s nothing wrong with wiping out a whole family!]

[Hiding God is awesome!]

Let alone everyone, even Chen Wei himself hadn’t expected this result.

Originally, he just wanted to rank in the top three. When he saw that Mo Chen and Wen Xi were standing so close together, it was as if they were inviting him to blow them up, so he threw a grenade at them. Unexpectedly, he really got a double kill and nearly fell over from surprise.

Wen Xi not being able to hide was excusable. After all, he had just been knocked down, so he definitely didn’t have time to use bandages to save himself and then run away.

However, Mo Chen really surprised Chen Wei. Obviously, he had a chance to escape, but he was using medicine slowly by Wen Xi’s side.

——Da Ge, you just have a flesh wound. Does that really need a first-aid kit? Do you think you’re Shen Yong?

In short, in the end, it was Chen Wei who won first place this match.

Although his kill count at the end of the match didn’t exceed 10, he had the points from obtaining first place, so his total points would definitely be in the top three.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, all the point calculations were completed and displayed on the big screen.

Mo Chen first place, Wen Xi second place, Chen Wei third place!

Jiang Xinyi and Ling Shuyi also took fifth and sixth places respectively—CLM all passed!

Seeing this result, Chen Xiao immediately stood up from his seat!

However, after a short period of excitement, his nose suddenly became sour, and he almost shed tears.

He didn’t usually cry, but he was very moved.

How could he not want everyone in the team to go to the Global Championship?

He had thought it was a pipe dream, but now, the pipe dream had the possibility of being realized and had become a real goal!

“Come on ah!” he couldn’t help shouting along with the audience, “Let’s strive for everyone to advance to the Global Championship!”
