At that moment, the atmosphere in the live stream room ignited instantaneously, with countless people clamoring to team up with Xin'er for a win.
Some even imitated Wu Jie, sending the exact same message repeatedly to create confusion.
However, it was all for naught.
Xin'er smiled lightly, "I've already sent him a private message. Pick two more, I want to see how skilled he really is!"
Hearing this, Wu Jie was thrilled, and sure enough, Xin'er soon sent him a private message.
"Your avatar looks sleazy, but what about your skills? Quickly add me as a friend and join the room, let's see how capable you really are!"
Holy cow!
This is major luck!
Wu Jie immediately logged into the game, searched and added a friend, and quickly got into a squad game.
Meanwhile, the live stream room was in an uproar.
Wu Jie and the other two lucky viewers were naturally the envy of countless other viewers.
The game was about to start!
Xin'er sent a voice message, "You all said you would 'send me off with a cold goodbye', well let's see who drops first!"
Soon, the player 'Expert' spoke up, "Bro, I've had countless wins, how could I possibly drop first?"
Big Knife Bro laughed and said, "No need to panic, little sister Xin'er. Your brother will always be by your side!"
Wu Jie didn't say a word.
Feeling a bit panicked!
The system kept bringing good news, and there were endless comments in the live stream room filled with envy and jealousy.
I've played the game but am not an expert, after all, with constant overtime, when do I have time to play regularly?
Practice makes perfect, the same applies to gaming.
Now the battle was about to start. Dying on arrival wasn't likely, but if I were to die before Xin'er, that would be a real joke.
So...
Taking advantage of the early game before parachuting, Wu Jie quickly inquired with the system in his mind.
"Do you have any game skills? The kind I can exchange for directly with energy points?"
System: "Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about, host."
"Damn it! Novels really are deceptive, when other protagonists have a system it's like they've got cheats enabled, and here I am, jinxed!"
System: "Be a man, speak with your abilities. Using cheats in games? What kind of man is that?"
"..."
Wu Jie exited the system immediately.
That was a slap in the face if ever there was one.
Keep a light heart in life and death, and if you disagree, just go for it!
It's just one game, right? As long as I perform normally, certain death is assured.
But!
Wu Jie didn't believe in bad luck and wondered, could he really be worse than Xin'er?
At that time, the comments in the live stream room were like a flood.
"About to parachute, let's see who falls into a chimney and dies on impact!"
"Falling into a stone cavern is even worse, might as well just crash to death!"
"That Jeopardy guy, are you playing dead without making a sound? You'll definitely be punched to death upon landing!"
"One day with a blade in hand, I'll kill all the sleazy show-offs!"
...
Wu Jie couldn't see the comments section and didn't want to look.
At this time, the Expert, who considered himself experienced, said, "Don't rush things at the start, sneaky development is important! When parachuting, avoid hot zones like the docks, hospittals, bunkers, nuclear power stations—that's just asking for a graveyard."
"Old driver, take me on a ride!" Big Knife Bro laughed.
"What are you waiting for? Isn't it time to jump?" Xin'er called out loudly, "Jeopardy! At least cough or something!"
Cough cough!
Wu Jie coughed twice, as a response to Xin'er.
Receiving such a reply, Xin'er was truly speechless.
Was he a shy and cute girl?
Or a sleazy and creepy old man?
"Jump, jump, jump, let's rock!"
At Expert's command, all four players parachuted out.
Without system assistance, Wu Jie had only one belief: to stay alive was to win.
Therefore, after landing, Wu Jie still kept silent, just following the main squad.
Expert exhibited extremely skilled control, moving with impressive speed. It was obvious he wanted to show off his technique in front of Xin'er, but he was unlucky, searching through several rooms and not finding a single thing, not even a tier 3 backpack.
Big Knife Bro shouted, "Damn! Rough start. Spread out and find gear, quick!"
As soon as the words fell, Wu Jie found a frying pan.
Expert exclaimed, "Oh my god! Jeopardy, what are you doing with a frying pan? Do you really believe in 'Pan for Protection'?"
Xin'er was also anxious, "Find guns! Helmets, bulletproof vests, grenades, anything you can get your hands on!"
Wu Jie thought for a moment, then replied, "Oh!"
Oh?
In the live broadcast room, countless viewers burst into laughter.
"After holding back for so long, he suddenly comes out with an 'oh!' Is your sister oh! That's just too cheeky!"
"Rookie! Just by that sound, you can tell he's a rookie!"
"Starts off with a frying pan, victory in the game all depends on stir-frying! Commonly known as Big Plate Chicken!"
"Even the frying pan is considered a trophy, should we also get a shiny new outfit so you can be instantly sniped?"
"What's the deal with this 'oh' from this guy? Did his body shake and he lost all interest?"
"Forgive me for my low threshold for laughter! Integrity here is trying to laugh me to death so he can inherit my legacy, right?"
...
In the midst of the audience's ridicule and banter, the quest for gear in the game continued for the four players.
Finally!
Under the guidance of Expert, the seasoned player, they finally found some equipment.
All three members including Xin'er found primary and secondary firearms, but Wu Jie was half a beat slow and only managed to get a cola.
This made the viewers even more ecstatic.
"Damn! Is Integrity here to play chef?"
"With a frying pan and now a cola! Not bad, not bad, you can consider making Cola Chicken Wings!"
"Showing respect to Integrity, who's cooking in the kitchen!"
"Luck is crucial in a chicken-eating game! It's clear that Integrity didn't wash his hands after stroking!"
...
The game was in progress.
Wu Jie, armed only with a pan and a cola, became the butt of the joke.
However, as they expanded their search, even Wu Jie managed to find some of the excess gear that Xin'er and the others couldn't use.
Naturally, he tossed the pan aside and kept only a main gun.
The battle was also quick to ignite as someone drove up rapidly in a Jeep.
Expert immediately called out, "Spread out and attack, watch your surroundings!"
"Shoot the tires, burst fire!!" Big Knife Bro also quickly reminded.
Xin'er was already shooting, moving side to side as she fired, fearing that the gunfire would reveal her position and invite a sneak attack.
As for Wu Jie…
Hide? Why hide?
Since his shooting was terrible already, firing on the move would only send bullets flying who knows where!
Open fire!
Da da da… da da da…
Those who had played CS and CrossFire before wouldn't have too terrible aim.
With this continuous burst firing, Wu Jie actually managed to hit the target.
Bang!
The Jeep suddenly swerved, crashing into a mound and flipping over.
As the kill notification popped up, the live broadcast room exploded with chatter. Some thought Wu Jie was just lucky, others criticized him for being too bold to fire without moving, but everyone was enviously admiring him to the hilt.
As for Xin'er and the others, shocked? Envious? None of that.
"Don't just stand there next time, be careful of being ambushed!" Big Knife Bro actually added coldly.
Wu Jie didn't respond but quickly went to scavenge, getting quite a lot of gear.
Soon after, the safe zone started to shrink.
Running to the safe zone is when most people die because there are always some pros hunting, on hillsides, bridges, houses, danger lurking everywhere.
But you have to run, or you'll die from the poison!
Expert led the way, being the first to move into the forest, with Big Knife Bro and Xin'er immediately following. Wu Jie, who had initially wanted to stay and ambush, had to rush to catch up.
However…
Those who panic and run at the sight of the poison zone are certainly also the ones with the worst luck.
Expert, who was leading the charge, suddenly got blasted to near-death.
"Damn! Ambush, take cover!"
Wu Jie immediately threw a smoke grenade without providing suppressing fire, too far to know where to hide.
Xin'er, however, shouted joyfully, "Good throw!" But her gun kept rattling away, wasting who knows how much ammunition.
Seeking refuge in the buildings nearby would obviously lead them into an ambush.
Expert, reduced to half health, was quickly eliminated, while Xin'er ran out of bullets and seemed on the verge of tears.
At this moment, it was Wu Jie who landed a critical blow with a fiery assault, taking down an enemy.
Big Knife Bro rushed to scavenge the equipment, with Xin'er following closely behind, yelling urgently.
Wu Jie meant to warn them not to linger in combat, as the opponents' ambush was sure to have a backup plan.
However, before he could speak up, they had already been taken down by a double kill…
