He spun and jumped.
Lin Ye ran recklessly and acted as if he was the king of the world in the center of the open road. He looked around and paid attention to each window and wall to see if anyone was behind them.
Lin Ye's playstyle was extremely domineering, where he would use his absolute precision marksmanship to kill all other players.
Just as he expected, his arrogant movements attracted the attention of those hidden players.
They looked over and pointed their guns at him.
Crack!
It was the sound of glass shattering.
"60-degree, second floor window!"
The sound of shattering glass broke the silence in Severny. Lin Ye immediately looked over.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
Ta! Ta! Ta!
That was the sound of someone shooting an AKM in single-fire mode, and some 7.62mm bullets came flying over toward Lin Ye.
Lin Ye quickly stopped and aimed down the scope.
Within one-fifth of a second, Lin Ye locked the crosshairs of the 8X scope on that player using the AKM, and he was ready to shoot.
Bang!
A crisp gunshot sounded.
Then, the barrel of the 98K in Lin Ye's immediately had sparks flying out.
The next moment, the player, who had the AKM and was shooting at Lin Ye one bullet at a time, was headshotted. His level 1 helmet was too weak, so his HP bar immediately turned zero.
"Linye headshotted sanasana-.- with Kar98K."
The person who counterattacked killed the person who attacked first with one bullet.
The player with the AKM didn't have a high-level scope, so his shots were rather rough and inaccurate. However, there was one bullet out of many that did hit Lin Ye, indicating how terrible this player accuracy was.
Headshot! Five kills!
The splurge of blood seemed to trigger the beasts in people. The last player that was hiding finally showed his fangs to Lin Ye.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
There were equal intervals between each shot, and the sound of the gunshots was crisper.
"SKS!"
Lin Ye was able to immediately identify the opponent's gun. However, he lost a lot of HP since the other player attacked him first.
This player with an SKS was hiding on the second floor of a green-roofed barn. His aim was much more accurate than the other player with the AKM as his first shot hit his opponent.
However, Lin Ye had a level 3 vest on him to protect him, so he wasn't that threatened by this opponent.
Location confirmed.
The distance between them was less than 100 meters.
The moment that the copper shell dropped onto the floor, Lin Ye had already aimed his 98K toward his opponent. With the 8X scope on, he could clearly see the player with the level 2 helmet at the second floor window of the barn.
He lightly pulled the trigger with his finger.
Bang!
A 7.62mm bullet immediately flew out of the barrel.
Clank!
The window separating the two shattered as the bullet flew through and accurately hit the head of the player with the SKS.
"Linye headoshotted momomomo with Kar98K."
One shot to end the fight.
Six kills!
After landing in Severny before the blue zone started shrinking, Lin Ye had already killed six players.
However, after finishing such a wonderful head shooting performance, Lin Ye frowned. I only saw five people parachuting out just now, but now there's a sixth person…
"Looks like my observation ability is still lacking."
Lin Ye was dissatisfied with himself because the ability to gather information impacted the outcome of battles greatly. He wasn't even able to count how many players started in this round in Severny. This was a huge mistake.
I might need a skill to compensate for my poor observation abilities.
A great sniper not only needed precise aim and a strong will; he also needed a pair of eyes that could see far away.
Especially in the game of PUBG, many rookies wouldn't know where the enemies were at when they were hit, dying in confusion. It was rather sad.
In other words, good vision and the ability to track down others were skills necessary to improve a PUBG player's comprehensive ability.
Although Lin Ye was hard on himself in terms of these small details, his viewers were amazed by his smooth headshots using his 98K. They enthusiastically posted bullet comments.
"66666~666666~666666~"
"Six kills upon landing. Really impressive!"
"Amazing. Truly amazing. It truly is better to watch the streamer use this 98K!"
"F*ck. This is Lin Ye's 98K ability? It's really impressive!"
"Really impressive. That was Lin Ye's legendary headshot with a 98K?"
"Hahaha, if I were those two, I'd be so mad right now. They shot first but couldn't win. That's too real."
"Yeah, yeah. If I were killed by the streamer after I shot first, I would probably want to break my keyboard right now."
Lin Ye's stream was filled with discussion after Lin Ye killed three players with his 98K. His viewers were so enthusiastic now.
[Sad Shadow gifted the streamer one card.]
[Wowo gifted the streamer one airdrop.]
[Mitsu Kage Ninja gifted the streamer one airplane.]
[Pear gifted the streamer two airplanes.]
[Feng Qing Yang gifted the streamer one rocket.]
Along with the dense bullet comments, many viewers started giving gifts.
Cards, airplanes, rockets, airdrops… There were many viewers sending him gifts, proving how wonderful Lin Ye's 98K counterattack show was and how he churned up his viewers' enthusiasm.
Gradually, some noble users on Douyu appeared in the stream and started giving Lin Ye gifts.
On the Douyu streaming platform, they would give viewers noble status when these viewers deposited and spent money. Of course, there were different levels of noble users on Douyu: knight, baron, viscount, marquis, duke, and king. The noble level would rise with the amount spent by the user.
The activation of the highest ranking, the king level, required the user to spend 120,000 yuan at a single time in a stream, and further spending was needed to keep this status. This was the game of rich heirs, and ordinary viewers could only watch; they would never be able to enter that world.
From some levels, the number of noble users and their quality in a stream was the best way to measure the performance of a streamer.
In Douyu's Annual Streamer Selection last year, Little Bear obtained the title as the streamer of the year with the help of her No.1 super rich heir, Orange Soda.
This was the power of noble users and rich heirs.
......
Meanwhile.
-In Douyu's headquarters in Jiangcheng City-
Both Supermod Shark Chili and the director of the PUBG section, Shazhi, were sitting in front of their computers and watching Lin Ye's stream.
Shazhi, the director of the PUBG section, looked to be a 25 year old beautiful woman. She had black hair and a bob hairstyle, making her face look even smaller. She sat there in front of the computer, crossing her beautiful long legs that had nude color stockings on. She was holding onto a pen with her long, snow-white fingers and pointing at the backend data that appeared on the screen.
"Chili, don't you think this Lin Ye is something else? I never expected that idle streamer to suddenly transform into a victorious PUBG god." Slight surprise could be seen in Shazhi's beautiful eyes. Her voice was sweet and harmonious to the ears, easily attracting others' attention.
"Director Shazhi, should we try to promote him?" Shark Chili suggested with hesitation, "I think Lin Ye's stream is entertaining. He can attract people's attention, and he has the potential to be very popular."
"It's not just the potential to be very popular. I think Lin Ye has already become popular," Shazhi corrected him. "Without any official recommendation, a push from big guilds, or visits from popular streamers, he reached the one million popularity points mark on his own. It's truly an unbelievable thing."
"Not only did he reach it, but he was also able to control it very well after the surge of gifting ended and the popularity dropped. He was able to maintain around 500,000 popularity points, which is already equivalent to third-tier streamers."
"If Lin Ye doesn't disappear mysteriously anymore, I think he can be a secret weapon of the PUBG section this year, and we can cultivate him with concentration."
From Shazhi's words, one could tell that she had high hopes for Lin Ye. After all, she had only taken over the work of the PUBG section recently, and she lacked an ace player that she nurtured.
Confidence, power, super entertaining play style, and the perfect humor.
She seemed to be able to see the shadow of an ace player on Lin Ye.
......
- In the game -
After Lin Ye headshotted the last player in the barn, there were no longer any gun sounds in Severny. This city had been cleared by him, so there was not even a peep of another sound.
Although he had confirmed that there was no enemy around, Lin Ye was still cautious when he entered a house. He pressed the M key to open the map because he needed to see the location of the first safe zone.
...
The first safe zone...
The Yin Yang Zone!
The safe zone was located in the southern part of the map. It included the entire Sosnovka Island and a large portion of the main island. There was an ocean in between, so it had both land and sea, and players called it the Yin Yang Zone since it looked like a Yin Yang symbol.
Since the first safe zone was in the south, and Lin Ye was in the most northern city, Severny, he was not in this circle. That was why he needed to move immediately.
"Huh, strange. Why are there so many players alive right now in this game?" Lin Ye frowned in confusion as he looked at the number [83] on the top right corner, indicating the number of players still alive.
He had witnessed a speed hack god at the spawn place with his own eyes. But after the game started, the number of players did not go down like an avalanche. The only explanations were that this cheating god had not activated his powerful hack, or he was waiting for the final safe zone to start, using his power to win.
Normally, only those players who killed over ten people would be forcefully screened by the anti-cheating program according to Bluehole's anti-cheating detection rules.
That was why many smart cheaters would choose to survive at the beginning of the game and start using their hacks in the finals so that they could push to win. Although this meant a small number of kills, it decreased the chances of being detected by Bluehole's anti-cheating system, thus decreasing the chances of being banned.
After all, PUBG was a rather expensive game. For those who cheated and didn't have much money, they wouldn't be able to handle multiple accounts being banned in one day.
However, when Lin Ye was looking for a vehicle around Severny, he suddenly saw a name appear many times on the top right corner of the screen.
His stream's viewers all gasped when they saw that player ID.
...
That was...
