As they casually strolled through the game, Tong Sui hadn’t even dressed his wounds, turning the battle royale experience into a peaceful moment.
Until a game began, and the kill notification from the same player repeatedly flashed in the upper right corner. At first, no one noticed, until Tong Sui stepped out of the house and was instantly taken down by a bullet, followed by a quick finishing shot.
Tong Sui’s screen went gray in an instant; the whole process was absurdly fast.
The barrage in the livestream exploded with comments:
——？？？
——From such a distance, a two-shot headshot? This person is either a master or something out of this world.
The most outrageous part was that the opposing player noticed the expensive clothing Tong Sui was wearing and ran over to loot the clothes that Chi Xingyu had given him after finishing the job.
Tong Sui watched everything in disbelief; he was unfazed when he got knocked down and finished off, but his heart sank when he saw the player coming to take his clothes away.
Those clothes had been given to him by Chi Xingyu.
Before the game started, he had been asked to borrow a set but had refused, and now they were being taken right in front of him.
As Tong Sui was about to apologize, he heard Chi Xingyu say, “Do you know what the best way to train your skills in PUBG is?”
Tong Sui blankly replied, “I don’t know.”
Chi Xingyu coldly stated, “It’s called Zhu Xian.”
The term ‘Zhu Xian’ is a nickname for players using cheats; there are various types of hacks, from basic mouse macros to more sophisticated ones.
However, when Tong Sui peeked out, he was shot, and both bullets hit his head. It was clear this was not just a mouse macro. The player had at least some aimbot capabilities.
Even after looting the clothes, the player charged straight towards Chi Xingyu, undeterred by the cover in between.
Chi Xingyu let out a cold laugh, climbed to the roof, and fired his 98K with pinpoint accuracy, hitting the player squarely in the head.
The other side was evidently caught off guard by Chi Xingyu’s fierceness, hurriedly taking cover to heal up.
Chi Xingyu clicked his tongue. Without hesitation, he threw a grenade. The opponent seemed traumatized from the previous headshot and rushed out in fear.
With a bang, the screen displayed:
[You eliminated player shjgyu with a fragmentation grenade.]
The barrage exploded with admiration:
——This was too cool! Directly like a god!
——Haha, that poor player surely didn’t expect Chi Shen to predict his every move; he encountered a force more terrifying than a cheat!
——Instant headshot, predicting movements, throwing grenades; this round made him look ridiculous.
…
After eliminating the player, Chi Xingyu swiftly filed a report and said to Tong Sui, “I’ll take on the next round as well?”
Tong Sui saw him pulling out another grenade and quickly replied, “No need, I’ll watch you play.”
“Alright, I’ll finish this quickly.”
Tong Sui only knew that Chi Xingyu was excellent at this game but hadn’t grasped the extent of his skill until he died and saw the remainder of the game from Chi Xingyu’s perspective.
Before Tong Sui could even see where the players were, Chi Xingyu had already taken one down, even executing a beautiful quick shot that took out a nearby teammate.
His playing style was free-form; he used everything smoothly and effortlessly.
After witnessing Chi Xingyu’s prowess, Tong Sui surrendered completely.
He realized he would probably never reach Chi Xingyu’s level.
Watching as Chi Xingyu effortlessly entered the finals, Tong Sui couldn’t help but exclaim, “Chi Shen, I’m glad to have you around.”
Chi Xingyu moved slightly.
He glanced at the left corner of his screen, noticing Tong Sui wearing his pink cat ear headphones, supporting his face with his hand, causing his cheeks to squish into soft, pale flesh. With a rosy pout, Tong Sui muttered, “You gave me your clothes, and helped me seek revenge. They all say when I play alone, it’s just a parachuting simulator…”
Chi Xingyu couldn’t help but bite his dry lips and reflexively blurted, “So how will you repay me?”
The little streamer on the screen widened his eyes in confusion and nervousness, taking his words completely seriously, which made Chi Xingyu’s breath stutter.
“What do you want?” Tong Sui asked.
The barrage went wild with suggestions:
——Of course, it’s a pledge of love!
——This is too cheap for Chi Dog. Protecting a treasure is what you should do; how dare you seek credit!?
——How about a ‘microphone kiss’?? (First, I clarify I’m not a perv; secondly, I’m not a perv!)
At the mention of ‘microphone kiss,’ Chi Xingyu’s hand trembled again.
Microphone kiss.
His gaze swept across Tong Sui’s lips, gripping his mouse tightly, effortlessly eliminating the last player.
On the surface, he appeared calm, but only he knew that half the bullets he had fired went astray.
In his heart, Chi Xingyu kept reminding himself that he didn’t like guys, let alone feelings towards them.
“What I want is anything, it’s up to you,” he finally said.
Tong Sui noticed the barrage’s erratic proposals, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment, a soft pink tint across his face and nose.
What were these people thinking?
Not to mention in front of so many people, even privately, he wouldn’t do anything like a microphone kiss…
If he had to think of a way to repay, he now had a ten-thousand-yuan handout from the production team.
So he ventured into Chi Xingyu’s livestream.
He found the gift feature and sent two carnival rewards.
“Alright! Take a look!”
Hearing his excited voice, Chi Xingyu furrowed his brows.
What was ‘alright’?
Then he witnessed the flashy effects pop up in his stream one after another.
[User ‘kidddd’ sent Carnival x2]
In that moment, Chi Xingyu felt a lump in his throat that made his chest hurt. Why did he previously think this fool was hinting at him?
Tong Sui’s joy didn’t evoke a smile from Chi Xingyu; rather, he noticed his face had turned cold, realizing too late that he might have done something wrong.
He quietly asked, “… Chi Shen, don’t you like it?”
