PUBG Online Romance of the Century

Chapter 16 - Don’t just look at me from just one point of view

Edited by Divetus and Noks

With a very dark expression, laoshu exited the death screen as quickly as possible.

He exhaled, his ears were peaceful now.

However, although his ears were quiet, his eyes were covered by the word ‘God’ in the barrage.

[laoshu, after you left, yanxyan also said, “If you refuse to accept that, snipe me, and I’ll serve you another beating”.]

[Man, why do I feel like yanxyan is kind of awesome…]

[It’s only natural that cheaters seem awesome. Didn’t he already get a good hammering from banana?]

[banana my ass. Go to yanxyan’s stream and take a look. There’s an announcement on his stream issued by the administrator.]

“Announcement? What announcement? StarTV doesn’t have that shit. Don’t just blindlessly say things.” As he watched his livestream viewer count slowly decrease, he immediately knew that they had all run to yanxyan’s stream to look at the so called “announcement”. The face of the man in the camera completely twisted, and his expression full of agitation.

[I’m back, and it really has one! This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of thing on StarTV…]

With these kinds of words appearing in the barrage, the fluctuation of stream viewers grew larger.

laoshu was very angry, and he had to restrain himself for a long time to ensure that he wouldn’t just explode with curses. If it wasn’t for that fact that he’d get banned for hurling too many abusive words during a livestream, he would’ve greeted all these stupid stream followers’ families a hundred times!

“Don’t mention other anchors in my livestream.” laoshu directly kicked that viewer out of the stream. “I know that you’re all just trying to trick me to go to that anchor’s stream. Is it enjoyable huh? Looking for that idiot… the idiot, for what?”

Although laoshu was a new anchor, he’d done a lot of research before entering the world of anchors, thus he also thought he had a thorough understanding of StarTV.

If the platform wanted to make money, it wouldn’t punish any of the anchors who ran cheat software unless their accounts got officially banned by the game. At the same time, the platform also cared about its reputation. In order to avoid accidents and future troubles, there definitely wouldn’t be any further clarification.

Just as he thought about it, a livestream assistant suddenly walked up, stood beside him and started to give him a dirty look.

Before he could react, the assistant held up a sign that said, “Change the subject!!”

laoshu froze for a moment and cast a doubtful look at the assistant, but the other party just raised a finger to tap at the sign twice.

“… All right, let’s stop talking about it. Stream mods, just directly kick out anyone who talks about another anchor.” laoshu angrily lowered his head, right-clicked and directly banned all on-screen chat. “These last two matches didn’t go well. Giving away 500 red envelopes. Same rules, if you send gifts, you can go into the lottery, the more you give, the greater your chance of winning a spot.”

Gifts immediately flooded the screen. laoshu let out a sigh of relief, used the excuse of going to the bathroom to leave the computer desk and then dragged the assistant to the door. He anxiously asked, “What the fuck is going on?”

—

“Fuck, it feels so good!” Lu Xiuhe had sneaked up on and killed laoshu’s teammate. He was so overjoyed that his voice was several decibels higher than usual. “Shit, did you see the bullshit that idiot was saying just now?! You should’ve toughened up earlier, kind people are easily bullied by dogs, Xiao Yan ah!”

Yu Yan nodded approvingly. “En.”

If laoshu had only made sarcastic remarks towards him, he wouldn’t have actually gotten angry. After all, for the last two days, he had been constantly scolded by antis so he was almost numb to it.

Who would’ve thought that laoshu had also wanted to steal away his boss?

If this was tolerable, then what would be intolerable?

laoshu’s team’s lootboxes were very fat. After looting through several of them, even Lu Xiuhe took on a new lease of life and became a millionaire.

But this man ba, since he was so used to being poor, he couldn’t get accustomed to suddenly being rich.

When he grabbed a hold of the AWM, he felt like he was scalded by its heat. After taking a few steps with it, he couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Yan… How about I trade my AWM for your Mini14 bei?”

Yu Yan replied, “No need, you keep it.”

[Has an AWM, and still wants a barren Mini14. Can we be a little more promising?]

[Just now you threatened to kill him and take his gun, but now you don’t even want an AWM??]

“For the final circle, I don’t like using a sniper rifle. It’s just a personal preference.” After the explanation, he caught sight of a moving figure not too far away. He raised his gun, peeked and immediately produced a burst of gunfire. From the viewers’ perspective, his gun had very little recoil.

The lines in the barrage increased rapidly when the kill feed appeared.

[The anchor’s gun seems to have no recoil. ]

[Came over from laoshu’s stream, this anchor doesn’t seem to be as good as laoshu.]

[Why are we seeing such a comment in front? If I remember correctly, didn’t this anchor just beat laoshu to death?? Fans talking like this, don’t you blush at all?]

[Going to call a spade a spade. If this anchor is so strong, why would he just be nesting in this little stream? Why not play in competitions?]

“Everyone, don’t just look at me from just one point of view.” The sound of gunfire had exposed his position, and Yu Yan held his breath as he reloaded, not daring to slack off at all. His tone was still leisurely as he said, “Wait until you see me move my gun and sweep the car, you’ll understand just how strong I am then.”

At the other end, Yi Chen had taken off his headphones, turned on the speakers, and was slowly untying his tie.

Hearing these words, he laughed for no reason.

His ability to talk glibly was also very strong.

After killing that person, there were only 6 players remaining.

The game’s sound effects went silent for half a minute and Yu Yan pursed his lips. “I feel like there’s still a whole team alive.”

Lu Xiuhe froze. “No way ba?” He actually had high hopes of eating chicken this game!

“No gunfire, no footsteps, no people.”

The circle was already so small that he could easily see half of the circle within his field of view. If the other people weren’t in a team, he should’ve run into them by now.

As soon as he said that, a shot broke out on the left side.

Lu Xiuhe shouted, “I see someone!”

Yu Yan hurriedly said, “Wait, don’t shoot…”

It was a pity that he said it too late. Lu Xiuhe had already stretched forward and opened fire, knocking the person down.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiuhe’s gunfire had completely exposed his position. Countless bullets flew at him, and his knock-down notification appeared almost at the same time as the enemy’s knock-down message.

Lu Xiuhe exclaimed, “Fuck me!”

“They’re trying to lure us out.” Yu Yan laid on the ground, used an adrenaline syringe and completely filled his boost bar. “Can’t save you.”

“I know, don’t come and save me.” Lu Xiuhe clicked his tongue in chagrin. “Ah, my fault, couldn’t resist.”

“No problem.”

Most people in the final circle would reflexively shoot an enemy on sight.

If he hadn’t realized there was still a full team left, he would also have fired.

The other side seemed to be very patient. Lu Xiuhe crawled behind a tree to hide, and the enemy didn’t seem eager to come up and finish him off either.

Lu Xiuhe looked at his red health bar growing lower and lower, and said, “It’s over Xiao Yan, I didn’t manage to finish him off directly.”

He meant that the person he had just knocked down had been revived by his teammates. Now the situation was 4 against 1.

“It’s fine.” Yu Yan relaxed his brows..

The barrage was full of backseat gamers, who were all lecturing him about how he should play in the finals.

He opened his inventory and saw that he had four frag grenades.

Not bad. Thankfully, he had just looted a few of them from laoshu’s inventory, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had a chance to fight back.

“Everyone sit up straight and watch.” He took out a frag grenade and pulled out the pin. “I’ll teach you all how to throw frag grenades.”

“If it doesn’t blow anyone up in a moment, then pretend I didn’t say anything.”

He turned to the direction that Lu Xiuhe had just reported to him and threw a frag grenade.

Boom—

No kill notifications popped up.

[Nothing happened.]

[Everyone survived.]

Yu Yan explained, “Toss the frag grenade into the possible area of where the enemy is. After you toss the first one, you have to quickly follow up with a second one, the distance being… just a bit further than where I tossed before.”

While talking, the second grenade was thrown out.

An explosion sounded.

[You knocked down HUMI666 with a frag grenade]

“Then for the third one, wait ten seconds.” He spoke slowly. Ten seconds later, he pulled out the pin again. “The circle boundary is on the left, so we’ll toss this one to the right of the second one’s position… About there.”

The frag grenade was thrown out in a specific arc.

[You knocked down SHIJINSHIZHU with a frag grenade]

[666666]

[Did you hear that?? Quickly take notes!]

[What’s the principle behind this? Can a pro explain this?]

[What about the fourth one? ]

“This method only works in the final circle. You guys just watch and learn. In the case where you don’t blow anyone up, then you guys didn’t learn the key points. Don’t blame me for that…”

During this conversation, two game avatars suddenly appeared in his sight—the enemy was at the end of their patience, and didn’t want to get grenades thrown at them anymore. They were ready to just fight 2 against 1.

“No need to learn how to throw the fourth one… In the final circle, if you’re fighting 4 against 1, you have an 80% chance of not being able to throw your fourth frag grenade.”

With that, he quickly peeked, opened his red dot sight and started firing!

Sadly, the enemy was wearing a level 3 helmet. Although green blood splashed out, they didn’t get knocked down. Not to mention, the other side had already figured out his location a while ago, and so both players came up to shoot at him with big pineapples, which was totally unreasonable.

The stream viewers were still immersed in this brief gunfight, when the anchor’s page suddenly turned gray.

——Definitely will eat chicken next time!!

[A round of play as fierce as a tiger. In the end however, only a chicken butt is eaten.]

[Throw grenades, my ass. In such a small circle, the enemies will all be hiding under the slope. Couldn’t you hit all of them with the first grenade?]

[1 vs. 4, fighting up to this point is already good. If you can do it, you go ah.]

Yu Yan glanced at the barrage and didn’t respond. He had already tried his best. This game was no different than any other shooter. Four enemies, even if all of them were just carrying a rifle they found on the ground, his odds wouldn’t be very good.

“Bro, you’re awesome!” Lu Xiuhe said, “Not eating chicken is still awesome!”

When they returned to the game lobby, after Lu Xiuhe saw 1’s avatar, he thought of something. “By the way, Xiao Yan, don’t forget to turn off the boss’ open mic.”

Yu Yan really wanted to take the bus to go turn off Lu Xiuhe’s computer.

“No need.” The man’s distant voice got closer, “I’ll turn it off myself.”

Yu Yan thus watched the green mic icon in front of the yellow mod vest icon swish and disappear.

Sitting back down in front of his computer, Yi Chen saw a small envelope flashing in the lower right corner of the livestream webpage.

He raised his eyebrows and pressed the left mouse button to open it.

[Administrator 03: Hello President Yi! The available balance for your account has been adjusted to the maximum limit. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me through the envelope at the bottom right corner. I’ll absolutely be ready to help you.]

His assistant had registered his account for him. He didn’t expect the assistant to make the mistake of directly giving his username to the StarTV branch.

“Playing, streaming until ten o’clock this evening.” Once again, the little anchor’s voice rang out, but then he paused and asked, “1… Boss, are you still playing?”

Yi Chen directly closed the private message.

After not receiving a reply for a while, Yu Yan thought that the other side had closed his mic. He said, “If you’re playing, then you can directly…”

“Playing.”

The mic icon beside yii11c suddenly flashed, and the game avatar immediately got ready. “Let’s go ba.”

Juurensha: Hahaha laoshu, that’s what you get! Cheaters never prosper!

Divi: Assistant: Holy shit laoshu you’re dead, stop talking!!! Hope Yanyan gets to slap him more. I’m glad the author does show realistic PUBG situations. Even the pros can’t always win!
