Cheng Qing: "Because I am better than you in hand-to-hand combat or with weapons."
Losi gritted her teeth, feeling resentful but having to admit that what she said was right, but she was really angry!
Is Lossie someone who cares about winning or losing? No.
Since Cheng Qing wasn't shooting at her anyway, Luo Xi simply rushed over to grab the flag. As long as she didn't die, she was strong.
Cheng Qing had anticipated her misbehavior and was prepared. After Luo Xi arrived, he grabbed one of her and used force to pin her to the ground.
Although Losi was pinned down, she was not injured at all, and did not feel any discomfort.
Knowing that Cheng Qing had been protecting her all along, she felt a little happy. But then, remembering that they were on different teams, she "angrily" shouted, "Let me go!"
Cheng Qing found it amusing: "Let you go? Will it be quiet once I let you go?"
Losi: "Hmph."
Cheng Qing lowered his head and warned her in her ear, "If you don't go back, I'll keep it to myself."
Losi blushed immediately: "You...you...I...I'm telling you, I'm not afraid."
Cheng Qing let go of her, but didn't loosen her grip. She said with a smile, "If you don't stutter, you'll be more convincing."
Losi: "..." So annoyed.
Cheng Qing was about to tell her to go back to the battlefield when he suddenly noticed a red dot twitching on Luo Xi's body. Cheng Qing immediately knew that someone was aiming at Luo Xi.
Almost instinctively, Cheng Qing lunged forward, grabbed Luo Xi, and rolled away. The other person was also a novice and didn't know how to time their shots; they only heard gunfire from a short distance away after they were both out of range.
Then Lin Shandie shouted, "Oops, I missed!"
Cheng Qing pressed Luo Xi down again, raised his head to look at the person behind the tree not far away, and was speechless: "..." Who did you shoot at?
Was someone shooting at their own teammate? Cheng Qing was completely baffled by the two of them.
Author's Note:
Chapter 60
Lin Shandie was clearly not yet immersed in the CS game. She showed no nervousness and peeked out from behind the tree to look at Cheng Qing after failing to shoot.
Luo Xi struggled a couple of times, but Cheng Qing, afraid she would do something rash, simply let her go.
Once she was free, Losi immediately turned and hid to the side.
Seeing Luo Xi dodge, Lin Shandie raised her gun and aimed it at Cheng Qing, preparing for a second attack. Like Luo Xi, Lin Shandie raised her gun as if it were her own weapon, without considering the recoil at all.
Cheng Qing didn't move. Lin Shandie felt insulted when she saw that Cheng Qing didn't understand, and asked after a moment of hesitation, "Aren't you going to dodge?"
Cheng Qing: "I'm afraid if I hide, you'll shoot me."
...a withered leaf flew past them in a circle...
Lin Shandie: "..." This is too much.
So, Lin Shandie gritted her teeth and fired with full force, but missed perfectly... she didn't hit the target.
Lin Shandie: "..."
Cheng Qing smiled slightly at her. Lin Shandie was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Cheng Qing stand up and quickly kill Lin Shandie with a single shot.
Lin Shandie felt a slight dull pain in her chest and knew she had been shot. But she immediately put on a dramatic act, clutching her chest and slowly collapsing to the ground, pointing a trembling finger at Cheng Qing and crying out pitifully, "You, you, how cruel you are!"
As she spoke, she lay down and "stopped breathing."
Cheng Qing: "..."
Losi: "..."
The autumn wind howled, swirling withered leaves into the air, and Lin Shandie, lying on the ground, looked rather forlorn. Her acting was quite good; she portrayed a corpse earnestly and remained completely still.
Cheng Qing looked at her speechlessly and asked, "How exactly did you two get through this?"
Lin Shandie, who was on the ground, sat up abruptly and said, "They're covering for us! They said they wanted us to steal a flag so we could win in one fell swoop."
Cheng Qing nodded and continued, "What's the plan?"
Whether it was due to her carefree attitude or excessive trust, Lin Shandie directly said, "Use Losi as a hostage! We'll have Losi come over first, guessing you won't hit her. While you're entangled, I can shoot you in one fell swoop. Then we'll grab the flag and run, victory!"
Lin Shandie spoke decisively, and her plan seemed quite good. But after she finished speaking, Cheng Qing remained silent for a long while.
After confirming that Lin Shandie was indeed not joking, Cheng Qing asked with difficulty, "...So, you were aiming at me just now?"
Lin Shandie: "What are you talking about? What else could I possibly do? Am I supposed to aim at my own teammates?" -_-||
Cheng Qing was speechless, choked by her words...
I don't even know where to begin with my rant.
Meanwhile, Luo Xi noticed that Cheng Qing was so engrossed in chatting with Lin Shan Die that she had forgotten about her. So, she secretly raised her gun and aimed at Cheng Qing, remembering the mission perfectly, aiming for a surprise attack and a sure hit.
What did Cheng Qing just say?
Losi thought to herself about Cheng Qing's demeanor just now; she seemed to be like this, holding a gun to her shoulder.
Then, aim.
shot!
With a loud bang, just like a real gun, the recoil even made Losi take a step back.
Cheng Qing turned to look at her, his eyes filled with hurt. Feeling embarrassed by his gaze, Luo Xi still earnestly said, "There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield."
Cheng Qing reminded her, "...You didn't hit me."
Losi choked: "..."! @##￥
Lin Shandie laughed heartily, finding it hilarious that Luo Xi had aimed for so long and still missed.
Cheng Qing turned to look at her and reminded Lin Shandie, "You were so close and you still missed!"
Lin Shandie: "..."
Lin Shandie and Luo Xi both looked aggrieved, which amused Cheng Qing.
In the crisp autumn air, Cheng Qing, standing on the horizon, exudes a gentle and comforting aura, her smile understated yet radiant.
She became a little curious: "How did you know it was me guarding the flag?"
Losi said in a muffled voice, "Our position is over on the high ground."
Cheng Qing suddenly realized that the difference in strength between the two teams was too great, thus giving the All-Star team a very good position. Because they were in a high position, they could see from the beginning that they were not among the other five people.
So, it makes sense for them to send two people over to keep them in check.
Knowing it wouldn't be easy to get the flag from Cheng Qing, Luo Xi reluctantly glanced down at the blue flag at Cheng Qing's feet. The flag was actually quite short, only about 60cm high, with a triangular blue flagpole attached to the flagpole, fluttering in the wind.
It's so close, yet I can't reach it!
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Cheng Qing would have given up the opportunity if she didn't have five teammates behind her.
But it's just a game after all, and winning or losing isn't a big deal. Cheng Qing wouldn't let the other five people take the blame for her, so she reminded Luo Xi, "We can't let them do this."
Losi scoffed and turned her head away: "...Hmph, I don't need you to give way to me."
"Really?" Cheng Qing smiled faintly and walked to her side. Dressed in camouflage, Cheng Qing was dashing and captivating, possessing both the seriousness of a soldier and a charming sense of nobility.
Losi's breath hitched. Cheng Qing had already walked up to her, a smile playing on his lips: "But actually, I did give in. Otherwise, you would have been out of the game long ago."
As he said this, Cheng Qing could still smile smugly.
Losi was utterly devastated and said angrily, "...That's too much."
Cheng Qing laughed again, then turned her around and pushed her, saying, "Go back to the battlefield over there."
Cheng Qing understood that keeping Luo Xi here would not be a good thing if the other side attacked later.
If the enemy doesn't attack and her teammates return, then Losi will be... in a really bad situation.
Therefore, no matter what Losy said, Cheng Qing sent her back to the fierce gunfight outside.
Losi, who was thrown in, was eliminated in almost 3 minutes.
Hearing the announcement of Losi's elimination over the loudspeaker, Cheng Qing was speechless for a moment and could only go back to guarding the flag.
The amateur team had more experience and won the championship in a very short time.
Cheng Qing guarded the flag the entire time. Except for the time when Lin Shandie and Luo Xi sneaked over at the beginning, no one was able to break through the amateur team's firepower after that.
The game lasted only a little over an hour, and by the end, the star team had been completely wiped out.
They lost quickly and miserably. Several celebrities complained to Kong Mingyan that the team arrangement was unreasonable.
Look at Lin Zichen on the other side, he's practically an impregnable fortress. And look at Zhou Yong, he's like a god of war. Li Mingyao is such a rigid old man, yet he can still take down enemies with a single shot. Liu Suoyu, though carefree and occasionally missing his target, still has pretty good marksmanship.
Cheng Qing, who hadn't come out yet, didn't know the extent of the damage. Even though Zhang Lingling was a novice, she wasn't shot dead in the end.
Can such a disparity in strength be overcome by terrain?
Skilled players and unskilled players were perfectly separated into two teams. This is probably what it's like for max-level players to slaughter newbies in the starting village.
Kong Mingyan just laughed after being complained about for so long.
But in the end, they didn't change the team's strategy. After playing two rounds, the star team was unsurprisingly wiped out in every single round.
The celebrity team was so angry they almost rebelled, but Kong Mingyan laughed and said, "It's just for the show, it's just for the show. There's no punishment, just have fun." This calmed the others down.
***
As it was time to sleep that night, Losi was still quite excited. When he returned, the base gave everyone an M4/A1 as a gift.
While Cheng Qing went to take a shower, Luo Xi held the gun to her shoulder and practiced aiming. But since it was just a model and didn't have an infrared sight, she was just playing around with it for fun.
After Cheng Qing finished washing up, she saw Luo Xi standing there, looking quite professional.
Cheng Qing let down her long hair, chuckled, and said, "Raise your hand a little higher."
Luo Xi was taken aback and turned to look at her, only to see Cheng Qing standing at the bathroom door wearing a long white shirt.
The dashing Cheng Qing of the morning was now alluring and captivating.
Losi blushed and asked, "How is it wrong?"
When Cheng Qing heard her ask, he stepped forward and stood behind her, lifting her up as he explained, "When playing CS live-action games, the gun must always be pointed forward, and it cannot be put down unless absolutely necessary."
