Bang!
That loud M24 shot immediately broke the silence of the bridge.
The bullet flew out.
Lin Ye got shot in the chest without knowing where it came from. Now a black bullet hole appeared on his black bulletproof vest.
Phoosh!
That was the sound of the bullet going into the flesh.
Lin Ye lost a huge chunk of his HP after the gunshot sounded.
"Sniper… There's an enemy attack!"
Lin Ye immediately tensed up, but he reacted quickly. The moment he was shot, he charged up and lay prone behind an abandoned sedan. With the cover, he was able to perfectly avoid being shot at.
"There's a M24 ahead, and this player has very accurate aim."
Lin Ye calmly said as he tied on bandages.
This M24 showed skill.
Judging from the sound of the gunshot, the other player was at least 200 meters away. Although Lin Ye couldn't figure out the specific location of that player, he guessed that the player was a M24-wielding sniper and was hiding near the broken-down truck across the bridge.
This player was an exceptional sniper in the player base since he was able to hit a moving target from over a 200 meter distance.
Although Lin Ye had on a level 3 vest, that shot from the M24 still took 39 HP from him, causing him to be at an unhealthy HP level.
One bandage and one bottle of painkillers.
After a few seconds, Lin Ye recovered to max HP and boost points.
There were 16 surviving players on the map, so Lin Ye was very close to winning and breaking the record.
That was why Lin Ye had to ensure that his HP was at a healthy level to avoid all accidents.
The difference between winning and not winning was an ordinary chest!
Lin Ye's stream's viewers grew anxious after seeing Lin Ye getting hit by the M24.
Many of his viewers knew who it was with the M24 across the bridge; he was the last champion of the All-Star Solo Championships - Sniper King Baixiao!
"Wow! Wow! Wow! I've been waiting for this for the longest time. The direct battle between Smug Streamer and Sniper King Baixiao!"
"Pretty good. Sniper King Baixiao is great with a M24; he was able to hit the streamer with one shot from such a far distance."
"Are you kidding? That's one of the top snipers in China, so he's no joke."
"I think the streamer's doomed… He just started this battle, and he was already hit by the opponent across the bridge..."
"Yeah, yeah. I feel like the streamer can't be so smug anymore when he's facing Sniper King Baixiao."
"Hahaha, I'm going to wait for Smug Streamer to log off his stream in shame!"
All of a sudden, many viewers posted bullet comments on his stream, worrying about Lin Ye. There were even some viewers that thought it wasn't juicy enough, so they started to take Lin Ye's misfortune as their own pleasure.
Doomed.
Very doomed.
Truly doomed.
Across the bridge is the famed and powerful champion of the last All-Star Solo Championships - Sniper King Baixiao!!
Sniper King…
His name even has Sniper King in it; do you think he's kidding with you?
That was why many viewers started worrying about Lin Ye after he got shot right away.
Lin Ye already had 36 kills in this game. Just from the number of kills, he was already on par with Sniper King Baixiao's kill record in China.
...
But...
He didn't win yet!
If Lin Ye died here, then all his prior work would be wasted.
One may still fail the journey if one doesn't persist to the very end.
In PUBG, as long as you didn't secure chicken dinner, the fame and honour would be much less, even if you killed many players in the game.
Orange Soda, "Mr. Lin Ye, the player with the M24 across the bridge is Sniper King Baixiao. You must be steady. Steady!"
Even the little rich lady, Orange Soda, was anxious for him.
She had watched Lin Ye's grand performance with his 98K, but back then, the players he faced weren't as strong. That was why no matter how wonderful his 98K shots were, it was still missing something.
This time however, Lin Ye's opponent was one of the top Chinese snipers, Sniper King Baixiao!
Sniper King Baixiao was a strong opponent regardless of his character, and it would be very difficult to beat him.
That was why the little rich lady, Orange Soda, was so anxious that she clasped her smooth white hands closely as she watched Lin Ye's stream.
Scared.
Really scared.
She was scared to see Lin Ye being shot dead the next moment.
Sigh. I don't know if this Lin Ye can help me take it out on that disgusting b*stard, Sniper King Baixiao, by shooting him in the head!
Little Bear thought to herself as she pouted and watched Lin Ye recover his HP.
Sniper King Baixiao often verbally harassed her, and he was a jerk. She was very annoyed by him, so she hoped that Lin Ye could help her take her frustration out on him by winning.
However, that was a very difficult task.
After all, the player with the M24 was Sniper King Baixiao!
If Little Bear had not seen Lin Ye shoot down the cheating god with one bullet, she would think that he was not a match for Sniper King Baixiao.
Even after seeing Lin Ye shoot down the cheating god with one bullet, she still thought that he only had a 30 percent chance of winning.
Sniper King Baixiao was too strong. Many professional players even viewed Sniper King Baixiao as a great sniper, so it was almost impossible for Lin Ye to beat him.
Even if that was the case, Little Bear still hoped that Lin Ye could win!
Of course, Little Bear wouldn't voice such a clear stance in her stream. She knew that if that were to happen, the internet would explode with discussions and chats the next day.
Netizens loved gossip so they would probably claim that she and Lin Ye had a thing!
...
Just the thought of it...
Was terrifying!
- Meanwhile -
When Sniper King Baixiao saw that he hit Lin Ye with his M24, his smile grew more condescending. He said, "Hehe, what's this 98K Lin Ye? I think he's just a coward scurrying like a mouse."
From Sniper King Baixiao's perspective, he already saw the ending of this sniper battle when that 7.62mm bullet hit Lin Ye.
However, the level 3 helmet and level 3 vest saved Lin Ye, which forced this sniper battle to continue.
Of course, there was no question about the ending in Sniper King Baoxiao's mind.
The crosshairs of the 8X scope kept on lightly wavering.
Sniper King Baixiao locked his M24 on the broken down sedan. As soon as Lin Ye came out, he would shoot at him and unleash attacks that were like the thunder.
"Of course, I should be a bit more careful since I saw that Lin Ye has an AWM when I opened my scope!" Sniper King Baixiao said to his viewers as he held onto his gun. He continued, "An AWM can instantly kill someone through a level 3 helmet, so that Lin Ye's gun is better than mine."
"However, I don't care about that…"
"Even if he has a better gun, that Lin Ye from across the bridge still isn't my match."
"Come. Let me show you how terrifying a real sniper is today!"
Sniper King Baixiao laughed cruelly. He gave out a determined aura, as if he vowed to stomp Lin Ye down.
Level 3 helmet vs. level 3 helmet...
Sniper vs. sniper!
Many people looked forward to this match. Now with Sniper King Baixiao's domineering speech, his stream's viewers were even more excited.
"Baixiao-sama is so cool! Baixiao-sama is the best!"
"The thing you said…'even if he has a better gun, that Lin Ye from across the bridge still isn't my match'… is so cool!"
"I'm waiting to see Baixiao-sama headshot that f*cking cheater."
"Hehe, what Lin Ye? You should better learn from Baixiao-sama here."
"Yeah, yeah. I saw how pretentious Lin Ye was, but it's just because he hasn't encountered Baixiao-sama yet!"
"I agree with the previous comment. Baixiao-sama, teach him how to be a person!"
"Hahaha, what 98K Lin Ye? In the end, he's too scared to show his face under the suppression from Baixiao-sama. What a piece of garbage!"
"It's been 30 seconds since he was hit, and he still hasn't shown his face. This f*cking Lin Ye is making me laugh so hard!"
The bullet comments in Sniper King Baoxiao's stream mocked Lin Ye in an offensive manner.
Those words made Sniper King Baixiao's smile grow even larger.
Sniper King Baixiao thought he was a chef knife while Lin Ye was a fish pressed on the chopping board by him!
......
With two flowers blooming on their own stems, each had their own stories.
Silence.
Dead silence.
After being shot by Sniper King Baixiao's M24, Lin Ye seemed to have fallen almost to death.
He lay prone behind the broken down sedan and didn't move at all. His stream's viewers were very worried.
What's happening?
What is this situation?!
Some viewers even thought Lin Ye was scared after finding out his opponent was Sniper King Baixiao and was too scared to face him directly.
"F*ck! Smug Streamer, why are you just lying there? Hurry up and retaliate! Are you still a man if you don't fight back after being hit?"
"F*ck! Streamer, are you trying to just survive by doing nothing? Hurry and shoot him!"
"Smug Streamer, you are a tough figure with an AWM. Hurry up and shoot him with it!"
"Sigh. Sigh. Sigh… Smug Streamer, you've disappointed me. Why are you so cowardly after encountering Sniper King Baixiao... "
"Stop trying to sway the public opinion. The opponent across the bridge is Sniper King Baixiao. If it were you, you'd be a coward too!"
"Yeah, yeah. If you are so good, you should fight. If you can't, then shut up."
"..."
Lin Ye's stream exploded with bullet comments after his playstyle suddenly changed from courageous to cowardly.
When facing ordinary players, he would kill relentlessly. But when he faced a famous streamer, he was being cowardly. Isn't that the typical bullying the weak and fearing the strong?!
F*ck you 98K Lin Ye. All you know is how to bully Little Bear. Don't you have any courage to go against Sniper King Baixiao?
Such a coward!
We despise you!
There were even many viewers that were threatening to unfollow him.
Not having the courage to fight when facing a strong player…
Such a coward!
Coward!
Too cowardly!
It's so frustrating to watch!
Coward!
Was it because Lin Ye was a coward that he lay prone behind the sedan after taking the painkillers?
Of course not!
When Lin Ye opened his 8X scope to aim at the player with the level 3 helmet across the bridge, a series of System notifications sounded in his mind.
"Ding!"
"New three-star hunt mission: In this game, kill Douyu's PUBG streamer, Sniper King Baixiao."
"Mission reward: one rare chest and one random prize draw."
"Mission punishment: none."
...
"Three-star hunt mission?!"
Lin Ye's brows twitched on their own as he was surprised by this sudden hunt mission that the System released.
The next moment, he heard another System notification.
"The hunt mission is published; initiating Hunter's Radar…"
In an instant, a lively scene appeared in Lin Ye's head.
The steel bridge, the grey asphalt road, the rust on the broken-down truck by one side of the bridge, and there was a forest far away with sunlight shining through the leaves...
Vision sharing!
Lin Ye was shocked for a second but quickly realized that what he saw right now was what Sniper King Baixiao was seeing.
He looked up.
Far away.
Lin Ye could clearly see the upside-down red triangle mark on top of the broken-down truck across the bridge.
This...
Was the mark of the initiation of the Hunter's Radar!
Three-star hunt mission!!
This mission even had a bigger prize than before!
Along with the rare chest, there was a random prize draw!
"System, what is a random prize draw?" Lin Ye asked in his mind as he was curious.
"Host, when the System publishes a hunt mission on and above three-star, then there is a chance that a random prize draw can be redeemed," the System quickly explained.
"Mhm…" Lin Ye nodded. He understood what the System meant, but he quickly asked, "Then what can I get from a random prize draw? A Demon King Talent or a Demon King Ability?"
"The random prize draw is an extremely rare reward. Host, you can get an item or an ability that can impact reality," the System explained.
"Impact reality?" Lin Ye's breathing immediately grew short when he heard that.
A rare chest and a chance to get a prize that could impact reality...
The prizes for completing this three-star hunt mission are too good!
With his luck buff from the newcomer starter pack, Lin Ye could disregard all probabilities when opening a rare chest and get the best prize of one million yuan and a Demon King Talent.
Now if he finished this hunt mission, he could even get a chance to get another prize through the random prize draw?
Wonderful!
Absolutely wonderful!
Three-star hunt mission…
This Sniper King Baixiao came just in time!!!
To Lin Ye, Sniper King Baixiao who had an M24 was now a super valuable gift pack.
So Lin Ye zoned out for a moment after thinking about how bizarre the prizes were for completing this hunt mission.
That was also the reason why he lay prone behind the broken down sedan for a long time.
Finally, Lin Ye recovered from his shock, and his eyes gleamed of endless desire for battle.
Kill!
Will definitely kill!
Lin Ye was determined to complete this three-star hunt mission!
When Lin Ye recovered from his shock, he saw the bullet comments floating by in his stream that were trying to change the public opinion. However, he didn't mind them and rebutted calmly, "Coward? Nonexistent. I was just hesitating about which gun to use to kill him with so that he can rest in peace."
Lin Ye knew that the player with the black level 3 helmet across the bridge and an M24 was Sniper King Baixiao.
A level 3 helmet and an M24...
Such a weapon and equipment. Although they had similar protective equipment, Sniper King Baixiao was actually at a fatal disadvantage in terms of weapon...
After all, Lin Ye had an AWM that could blow through a level 3 helmet and headshot a player with one bullet, but Sniper King Baixiao couldn't do the same with his M24.
That was why if it was a direct gunfight, Lin Ye had the advantage of a better gun.
"Hehe. I'll give you a fair chance at this battle," Lin Ye said calmly while raising a brow.
Before the viewers of his stream could react, Lin Ye switched the AWM in his hand to his 98K. He quickly stood up and looked up from that broken down sedan.
Aiming down the scope.
His vision was still blurred within half a second's time.
As soon as the 8X scope opened, a bullet shot out of Lin Ye's 98K. It was an instant snipe!
Bang!
A 7.62mm bullet spun and flew across the bridge.
At almost the same time...
Bang!
A crisp gunshot sounded from across the bridge.
Sniper King Baixiao had long waited for Lin Ye to come out. When Lin Ye looked up, Sniper King Baixiao pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The gunshots were loud and echoed in this place.
The two 7.62mm bullets crossed paths in the air.
The next moment, blood splattered out Sniper King Baixiao's level 3 helmet.
Phoosh!
The bullet made a hole between his brows.
98K vs. M24!
Shooting at each other from a distance.
Both Lin Ye and Sniper King Baixiao's streams' viewers were excited to watch Lin Ye and Sniper King Baixiao's first snipe battle.
Everyone watched as Lin Ye put a hole into Sniper King Baixiao's helmet while Lin Ye...
Was unwounded!
One shot hit the head while the other hit nothing!
Although Sniper King Baixiao had set up his gun long before Lin Ye, Lin Ye was still able to retaliate and headshot his opponent with his 98K while moving later.
He had stood up, raised the gun, and aimed down his scope.
Lin Ye's mechanics were smooth. He was able to dodge and instant snipe at the same time. He was able to precisely place the crosshairs on top of his opponent in a flash.
Even so, Lin Ye was still able to headshot Sniper King Baoxiao in one go.
Precise!
Incredibly precise!
Lin Ye had an overwhelming advantage during this snipe battle.
Lin Ye smiled and said pretentiously, "98K Lin Ye is now online. Do you want to learn more?"
