And Big Black is almost recognized!
(The password to that pendant doesn't involve any secrets or conspiracies! It's just a letter left by Wen's parents for little Wen Zheng. I'll explain the details later, muah everyone!)
(P.S.: Cats are huge when they stretch out! My cat, who weighs over 7 pounds, is 80 centimeters long when he stretches out. Even if Big Black lays on a table, it's not that big, hehehehe...)
Chapter 18
Before the match, Xuanyuan Tianlu's streamer family sent him their blessings, which comforted him greatly.
Language has power. Repeating "Brother Tianlu, you are the best" twenty times, Xuanyuan Tianlu was filled with pride and felt that he really was the best!
Thinking about it carefully, although Z was skilled in the survival space, survival is not a game that simply tests "skills".
Strategy, tools, and familiarity with firearms—which of these doesn't require long-term practice to master?
Even if Z really is a gym instructor who can win a Sanda championship with his bare hands, can human flesh compare to bullets in terms of toughness?
joke!
“Tianlu,” the agent said earnestly, “the opponent is a newbie to survival games. I’ve subtly inquired about this with Z’s agent, so you don’t need to worry. Your win today was just a normal performance, but you can’t be timid. The opponent is a B-level contract player. He hyped up Shanyu before the match and also signed up for the streamer competition. He probably wants to gain attention, then delete his account, change his ID, and sign an A-level contract with the platform.”
He slowly analyzed, "This person is cunning and ruthless."
Xuanyuan Tianlu listened and curled his lip in disdain.
"Look, he's gained popularity now, and his photos have 'accidentally' gone viral. Even if he changes his ID, his fans will still follow him. Don't forget, he's a newbie. Even if he loses, will his fans blame him for not being good enough?"
The agent shook his head and sighed, "What a brilliant move! Who came up with this idea? He's a man born for hype, a master of self-promotion..."
Wen Zheng, the self-proclaimed "hype expert," didn't actually think that much about it.
He lingered a little longer on the outfit-changing screen before decisively teleporting into the game.
The person waiting could only rest in place. He yawned, glanced around briefly, and then stood there listlessly.
The 1v1 map is only half the size of the official map, but it is small yet complete, with all the terrain features and the same earthquake collapse pattern based on time.
The only difference is that both sides have three times the health of a standard character. A headshot won't kill you, and a stab to the kidney with a dagger will leave you healthy, extending the time for friendly sparring and preventing one side from dying in a single exchange without determining who is stronger.
Before the match started, Wen Zheng turned on the live stream.
The barrage of comments was so dense that it was impossible to see what anyone was saying. Wen Zheng was in a good mood and greeted everyone.
"Today is the last time Xuanyuan Tianlu will meet with everyone. If you have nothing to do, you can go to his live broadcast room to check in and leave a message."
The comments section was filled with "…………"
Wen Zheng added, "From now on, 'Xuanyuan Tianlu's Home' can be renamed 'Xuanyuan Tianlu's Former Residence'."
The comments section was filled with: "……"
Why is Z being so flamboyant today?
- It feels like Z University is opening its screen.
- Has Z really never played Survival of the Fittest?
Wen Zheng: "We fought."
Before the chat could even fill with question marks, he immediately replied, "I played for three days and reached Gold rank."
The comments section was filled with: "…………"
- You're not mistaken!! Our Z University is absolutely stunning!!! What on earth changed him?! ???
-Z, the hot-tempered guy, suddenly collapsed, smiling and seemingly in love.
Three days? Gold?
-I have a bad feeling, maybe we really should visit Xuanyuan Tianlu's former residence...
I had no hope for Z University, but I couldn't resist going to visit the former residence...
- Ask the person in front, what's the current status of the former residence?
We were so confident just now, after we scouted the location, but now we're furious.
I don't know why, but I feel a pang of heartache.
Wen Zheng chuckled lightly: "Alright, one minute left. I'm turning off the live chat, or I'll get accused of cheating."
Why am I in a good mood?
Because Dahei is really cute.
That soft, barbed little tongue was dry. It tickled slightly as it licked his earlobe.
How can there be such an adorable cat as Dahei?
Viewers in the stands can adjust the viewing angle, but they cannot hear the voices of those speaking to the live stream.
Bei Sining didn't know how to adjust, so he just sat there, staring intently at something in all directions. He wondered inexplicably, what was he looking at? There was only a forest below!
Two female anchors sat on either side of Bei Sining. They were muttering strange things to each other, sometimes saying "Eh~~~" and sometimes "Ah~~~", saying things that Bei Sining couldn't understand.
Left side: "What? How could Brother Tianlu possibly lose to that zbkc? He's a survival king... Hahaha, just kidding. What does bkc mean? I don't know either... Does anyone know it online?... Okay, let's start. Let's see... Wow, our brother is really amazing! He got the map so quickly! Is that Z guy in a hurry?... Why is he 'big'? Is he much bigger than Brother Tianlu? I don't understand."
On the right: "Hey, it's started! Kill that idiot Xuanyuan Tianlu! I watched Susan's livestream too, it was a slip of the hand, he did it on purpose... My Z is so cool today, it's stunning my fragile heart... Let me tell you, the map isn't that important in the early game, getting a gun is the real skill. Look at our Z, he's all geared up so quickly, great. We can't let the first circle of bad luck fall on us, can we?... Oh my god, it's here!"
Left side: "Wow, really! That Z guy is so unlucky... but it seems like he can escape?"
Right side: "Hahahaha, is Xuanyuan Tianlu an idiot?! He just walked past that huge helmet without even looking! Ugh, it's an eyesore, I need to go wash my eyes... Hey, I'm on the motorcycle, great! Riding like the wind, hahaha!"
Left side: "￥%#@￥*（&…（&。"
On the right: "—%@￥#！…"
Bei Sining was dizzy and disoriented. Unable to bear it any longer, she reached out and poked her left side first.
The female anchor on the left stopped speaking, looked at him, and her eyes lit up: "Wow, a handsome masked guy? And with long hair! So unique—say something!"
Bei Sining: "What are you doing?"
The female anchor on the left: "Wow—your voice is so nice! I'm watching the game live."
What is live streaming?
"..." The female anchor exclaimed in disbelief, "Seriously? Are you out of your mind? Don't you know how you got into this live stream?"
"..." Bei Sining asked, puzzled, "You came in wearing glasses?"
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
The sounds from next door suddenly became clear.
"Z looks so cool riding that motorcycle! How did he learn to drift like that? I was blown away by that dragon tail swing, awesome! ...Finally, we're in the safe zone. They're still pretty far apart. Hey, why did they stop moving..."
"Hello."
"The map! We got the map!"
"Hello!"
"Wow, Xuanyuan Tianlu has already changed two vehicles, and Z University is still riding a motorcycle. That's really something... Hahaha, Xuanyuan Tianlu is such a fool..."
Bei Sining roared, "Watch me!"
The female anchor on the right was startled: "What's going on? Oh, handsome, what's wrong? We're live!"
"What is live streaming?" Bei Sining's face darkened.
"Bro? Are you kidding me?" The female streamer on the right widened her eyes: "There are only two streamers fighting down here right now, one is called Z and the other is Xuanyuan Tianlu. Don't you know how you got in?"
thief?
Why is the thief's name mentioned here?
Bei Sining was on guard, and before she knew it, the anchors on her left and right started arguing.
"Who are you calling a idiot? Tianlu's resources are way ahead of that Z guy's. Are you blind?"
"Hey girl, what's it to you? You're not good at fighting, but your slip-up technique is top-notch. Do I have to pay taxes for making fun of you?"
"Will you say another word?"
"I'll curse!"
Bei Sining: "……"
He took a deep breath: "Stop arguing! Tell me! What do you think! They're playing!"
A minute later, Bei Sining, who had quickly learned how to open the menu, finally nodded in satisfaction and gestured to those around her: "Go play by yourself."
The two female anchors: "…………"
From the moment you enter the game, these holographic glasses are incredibly easy to use, with a constant tutorial. You can simply set up your body and enter the game by talking to the holographic glasses.
The self-awareness system defaults to locking in the player's perception of their own image as an initial setting, which is then fine-tuned by the player.
Bei Sining will enter the game in his original form because of his continuous good, well, okay...
When he opened the menu, he felt like he had entered a new world. He fiddled with this and pressed that, and by the time he remembered to watch the game, the screams from both sides were almost deafening.
Bei Sining silently pressed the mute/ambient sound button, and the world instantly became peaceful. Upon closer inspection, she saw a man in black moving through the jungle.
Is it a dispute?
Yes, it was Wen Zheng. That fragile human in his family.
The pendant hanging around her neck was exactly the same as the one in real life.
Wen Zheng abandoned his pitiful motorcycle and went into a house to search. He reacted quickly, stepping over obstacles, nimbly scaling walls, and climbing onto the roof. He found a stun gun and tucked it into the back of his pants.
Bei Sining: "…………"
This movement looks familiar.
His heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding began to rise within him.
The girls on either side were still acting as his left and right channels—"Z got the stun gun!" "Z went down from the roof!" "Z found the bullets." "Z went into the pavilion in the middle of the lake!"
Z University, Z University, ZZZZZ...
Bei Sining stood up in alarm: "Thief?"
