It had been ten minutes since the game started, and the third safe zone now appeared on the map.
The top right-hand corner of the screen showed that there were 67 surviving players on the map.
Surprisingly, the decrease in the number of players this game was very slow, a lot slower than the average rate.
The third safe zone had appeared, but there were still almost 70 players on the map. This was a very strange and unexplainable phenomenon.
"Ho, that cheating god is being very low profile and good at enduring, eh."
Lin Ye said calmly when he glanced at the number of surviving players on the top right-hand corner.
Only his name had appeared many times on the top right corner in this game. After those 20 kills, the name "Linye" had made the other players tremble with fear.
In some ways, Lin Ye's performance was more godly than that speed hack god, meaning that it seemed like he was the real cheater.
Orange Soda: "Mr. Lin Ye, is it good that you got all the glory even though you're in the game with Sniper King Baixiao and that Mr. God?"
In his stream, many viewers posted bullet comments exclaiming the strangeness, even the little rich lady, Orange Soda, did so too.
"Yeah, yeah. Just randomly killing tens of people with a 98K, and all of them were headshots. Who could go against you?"
"Hahaha, it's kinda boring seeing only Smug Streamer refreshing the kill notification bar."
"Did that speed hack god leave the game?"
"No wonder this streamer is so smug. His 98K truly is incredible!"
"Where's Sniper King Baixiao? Why haven't we heard from him after those bullet comments from earlier?"
"I'm waiting for the streamer to shoot Sniper King Baixiao. I haven't liked that disgusting man for a long time, especially since he harasses our Little Bear all the time."
All of a sudden, there were many viewers in Lin Ye's stream posting their opinions in the form of bullet comments.
...
Was Sniper King Baixiao scared?
He actually was a little bit afraid!
Sniper King Baixiao's face grew dark after seeing so many kill notifications appearing on the top right corner.
"That f*cking cheater Lin Ye. Does he not know how to act?" After seeing that series of 98K headshot notifications, Sniper King Baixiao thought that his opponent was an idiot.
In the PUBG circle, cheating was an ordinary phenomenon. Other than professional players, probably half of the streamers were suspected of cheating.
Why?
Because viewers liked watching streamers torture others, not the other way around.
People who were good at PUBG needed to be naturally talented in gaming, so not everyone could become a pro.
So...
Cheating became a shortcut to being a "pro" in this game.
"Streaming while cheating" had almost become an unspoken rule in the industry.
Many streamers did this, so it became relatively natural, and no one would bother to poke through the paper windows.
Even...
Sniper King Baixiao, himself, had many secrets he couldn't tell anyone.
Of course, it made sense to act more reasonable and secretive when cheating, so most cheating streamers were more restrained.
If there was no need to kill, then don't kill.
If there was no need to refresh the kill feed, then don't spam it with kill notifications.
The main goal was to stay low profile and to reach a reasonable yet good number of kills in a game of PUBG while securing the chicken dinner.
This...
Too was a skill.
Last year in Douyu's PUBG section, most PUBG streamers had around 20 kills per game, and most streamers thought that this number was reasonable.
...
However...
The former No.1 male streamer on Douyu killed 29 players in one game of PUBG, and he was proven guilty of cheating by someone through frame-to-frame analysis.
The explosion of this bomb caused everyone to go against cheating, so many PUBG streamers chose to become even more low-profile.
Seven to eight kills per game wasn't low, and 15 to 16 kills were more than enough.
They were afraid that destruction pursues the great, so no one dared to be a godly shooter or create a new PUBG killing record.
From Sniper King Baixiao's perspective, how Lin Ye was spam killing with his 98K was dumb as hell.
"At the end of the day, little streamers are just little streamers. They'd be on cloud nine after just a small achievement," Sniper King Baixiao sneered and continued to say, "Kill. Kill. The more kills, the faster you will get banned. It's only the third safe zone, yet you already killed about 20 people. I'm going to wait and see how you can make everything reasonable in the end!"
......
The blue zone continued to shrink.
The third safe zone was still moving towards the lower-left corner of the map.
The main island, Sosnovka Island, the sea, and the bridge connecting the two islands.
The third safe zone was still a Yin Yang Zone that had both the land and the sea.
It was still impossible to see whether the final circle would be on the main island or Sosnovka Island.
The location Lin Ye was at, the building complexes beside School, was no longer in the safe zone, and thus he needed to move inwards.
Luckily for Lin Ye, after his ten consecutive kills with his 98K, there were many vehicles to choose from in the 100-meter radius.
"I'll drive this B-Robo Kabutack…" Lin Ye used his 8X scope to look around and chose a Jeep that was the nearest to the building complexes beside School.
This Jeep was dark green and had a roof. Players called it the "B-Robo Kabutack" because only a small area of the interior was exposed, and thus it was very safe to drive.
Running.
Running all the way.
When Lin Ye ran to the Jeep, he saw a square wooden crate. This was the "corpse" of the player who he headshotted to death with his 98K, and the death crate had been exposed in the wilderness.
Lin Ye decided to look at what was in this crate that was so close by, especially since he walked all the way over already.
He clicked the F key to open the crate and saw the items inside.
He scrolled his mouse wheel.
Lin Ye very soon discovered a black and thick gun muzzle in this player's crate.
It was no joke; it was black and thick.
Many old viewers of Lin Ye's stream couldn't help but exclaim, "F*ck! Smug Streamer, you're a dog. You actually got a sniper rifle suppressor!?"
"Mother f*cker! 8X scope, bullet loops, and now a sniper rifle suppressor?! That's a fully equipped 98K!"
"66666~ I think Smug Streamer must have saved Bluehole in his last life to make him so lucky now."
"OMG. He actually got a suppressor. I'm sad for the other players."
"To tell you the truth, I've been playing this game for almost a year now, and I've never used a sniper rifle suppressor."
"Godly equipment. Godly equipment. This time, he's truly got godly equipment."
"Smug Streamer's luck is so great. It feels like he's cheating."
Lin Ye glanced at his stream's bullet comments and said with a smile, "You must be joking. I'm really not cheating. It's just that I'm handsome, so my luck is better than average."
Although Lin Ye's words were shameless, the viewers in the stream couldn't even roast him anymore.
After all, this f*cking streamer was really lucky...
Orange Soda: "Mr. Lin Ye, what do you actually look like? You say you're so handsome. Why don't you turn on the camera and show us!"
The little rich lady, Orange Soda, posted a bullet comment, immediately causing many viewers in his stream to resonate with her.
"Yeah, Smug Streamer. I've been watching your little movies for a long time, but I don't even know what you look like!"
"Camera! Camera! Ten-thousand people petition to turn on the camera!"
"Streamer, streamer, my roommate is dying soon. His death wish is for you to turn on your camera!"
"The little rich lady already gave you so many gifts, yet you're still not turning on your camera to please the rich lady a little bit?"
Bullet comments.
A dense screen of bullet comments.
It obviously showed that his stream's viewers were curious about what Lin Ye looked like.
"..."
This annoying guy's voice is rather pleasant, but I don't know what he looks like… Little Bear grew curious after seeing Lin Ye's stream's bullet comments.
After all, regardless of gender, people were extremely patient with aesthetically pleasing things.
If he was handsome, then Little Bear could let him go and forgive him generously!
Lin Ye glanced at his stream's bullet comments and responded, "My computer at home doesn't have a camera. I'll turn it on another time."
Lin Ye was not too interested in showing his face, since streaming to him was just streaming content.
Lin Ye's cold response of course would call for even more ardent "turn on your camera" requests in his stream.
"F*ck! F*ck! Streamer, how smug are you not to turn on the camera!"
"Yeah, yeah. Why aren't you turning on your camera? Almost all PUBG streamers turn on their camera for the stream."
"I think Smug Streamer is too ugly to turn on his camera."
"What about being ugly? Even Weigou turns on his camera. Can Smug Streamer be uglier than Weigou?"
"Probably not. I feel like Mr. Streamer's voice is very pleasant to the ears, so he's probably pretty handsome."
"The person that posted the above comment is too young. Have you heard of something called a voice transformer?"
Many players were roasting Lin Ye's appearance and hypothesized that he was too ugly to turn on the camera.
After all, streamers nowadays would turn on their cameras to show a sense of familiarity and closeness with their viewers. With face-to-face interactions with their viewers, the streamers could increase their streaming effects and entertainment.
Streamers like Lin Ye, who only gamed and didn't turn on their cameras, were extremely rare. They were the outliers
That was why his stream viewers turned even more curious of his looks, yearning to see his true face.
Lin Ye smiled when he saw the bullet comments but didn't respond.
...
He didn't turn on his camera for two reasons: Firstly, he didn't think it was necessary. Secondly...
He really didn't have a camera!
...
None.
So what could he turn on?!
After chatting for a bit with his viewers, Lin Ye drove the Jeep towards the safe zone in the lower-left corner of the map.
However, when Lin Ye was passing through the fields outside Pochinki, he saw a figure flashing by.
