‘An airplane!’

Liu Zilang’s eyes glistened when he heard the rumble of an airplane engine.

He looked around and quickly located the position of the airplane. Furthermore, it seemed like the airplane was traveling into the safe zone along the same path. It was very possible that the crate was going to drop in front of them.

“There’s a chance!” Liu Zilang rubbed his palms gleefully in anticipation of an epic battle.

“It’s dropping, Shifu, it’s dropping!” Misaka Mikoto suddenly shouted excitedly.

Liu Zilang lifted his head and saw that as the airplane flew past the top of their heads, a black dot appeared.

This distance…

This direction…

It could not have been any more perfect!

Liu Zilang turned around to look at Misaka Mikoto and felt a mix of emotions in his heart.

‘That’s the power of the mascot!’

He was reluctant to call himself unlucky, but when was the last time he had an airdrop smack him in the face…

He smacked his lips as he reminisced about the good old times. He gave out a sigh of satisfaction.

Those who did not pick up an airdrop in the face would receive God’s punishment. After reaching that conclusion, they rode on, pursuing their dreams.

On Hua Xia’s commentary platform.

“Wow! That’s a little too much, isn’t it? Airdrop crate right on Vic’s face?” Lord Rong spread out his palms. “I mean, frankly speaking, hasn’t he had enough?”

Su Changming rubbed his chin and hazarded a guess while smiling, “I don’t think this has much to do with Vic. That kid is known to be unlucky. It might be all thanks to Menhera, the golden koi carp.”

“Let’s wait for the caster’s camera to see what’s in the airdrop crate. Oh! There it is.”

Ruo Feng had just finished speaking when the tournament screen displayed the contents of the airdrop crate.

AWM!

Ghillie suit!

Adrenaline syringe!

Sniper noise suppressor!

…

The live audience collectively sucked in a mouthful of air when they saw the crate’s contents!

It was unfair enough that Vic was getting an airdrop crate to the face. Would anyone else stand a chance against him if he picked up the AWM?

“It would be a bloodbath if Vic picks up the AWM…”

“Hm, but Vic might not be able to pick it up that easily. Let’s take a look at the map. There are another three or four teams making their way to the crate.”

“Let’s see… Oh! Coming from the left on a Mirado are Guru G and Jeemzz! They are two of the best snipers in the world. No wonder they want that crate so much.”

“That’s right. An AWM would greatly increase the power of a sniper. It’s well worth the risk for any sniper.”

“We also have two other teams, the North American team TSM, and the European team Gates. Both of them are pairs of competitors and team managers.”

“Yup. However, those two teams are still hesitant. Only Guru G and Jeemzz are heading directly there. It looks like a loot crate or bust for them!”

“Vic will need to seriously reconsider his choice. His motorcycle is spewing smoke after having collided with the minibus. It might explode at any time if it gets shot.”

“Indeed. Vehicles are a core competency when it comes to fighting for crates. Vic and Menhera are obviously lacking in this competency…”

“…”

In the match, Liu Zilang heard the sound of vehicles from all around him. ‘It’s just an airdrop crate. Are we really going to fight over this?’ he thought to himself.

‘Curse you sons-of-b*tches!’

Even though he was cursing in his heart, Liu Zilang knew better than to pick unnecessary fights.

Misaka Mikoto noticed that Liu Zilang had abruptly changed directions. “Shifu, Shifu! Aren’t we going for the airdrop?” she asked worriedly.

‘Your master wants the crate too!’

Liu Zilang was screaming in his heart, but he calmly replied, “Hmph! I’m not fighting with a group of boors. Fighting for the crate is a battle of wits.”

“Battle of wits?” Misaka Mikoto asked doubtfully, “How do you fight in a battle of wits?”

‘Please stop asking questions!

‘Your master wants to know too!’

Liu Zilang was crying in his heart, but he knew he had to keep his act up no matter what it took.

He opened the minimap and pretended that he was looking for a solution.

As he was looking around… Suddenly, his eyes began to shine with the light of wisdom!

Then, he adjusted his course and drove the motorcycle toward the area of wooden residential buildings that were out in the open. They were right in the center of the safe zone.

…

Duang!

The two people in the Mirado heaved forward and spewed blood as their ride collided head-first with the airdrop crate.

After alighting from the car, Guru G and Jeemzz inspected the contents of the airdrop crate. Upon seeing the ink-green AWM, they were elated. All the spewed blood was worth it!

“That’s a big fella.”

“How about you take it, partner?”

“No, you take it.”

“Nah, it suits you better.”

“Alright then, I’ll take it.”

“…”

Jeemzz had thought that his teammate would still humbly refuse it. He was waiting for him to pass the courtesy back so that he could go, “If you insist” and take the AWM.

He had just finished speaking when the AWM in the crate disappeared.

Guru G hastily ended the battle of humility with his speedy fingers.

Jeemzz was still a little taken aback when gunfire suddenly erupted next to their ears.

Clink clank~!

Bullets landed on the Mirado and the airdrop crate.

The typical player would plan to get in the car and escape after getting the AWM so that they could find a safe place for target practice.

Otherwise, they might die without even firing a shot. Such a scenario would be an injustice to the weapon!

However, Guru G was filled with the fire of battle.

Ka-ta!

With the aid of an Extended Quick Draw Mag, seven Magnum bullets were loaded into the gun’s chamber.

Guru G’s ears twitched, and he immediately aimed the gun toward a point in the distance!

Bang!

The gunshot rang out like thunder on a sunny day.

A sniper bullet was ejected from the gun’s muzzle. In the blink of an eye, it flew the distance of over a hundred meters and accurately found its way into a player’s level three helmet!

That seemingly indestructible level three helmet shattered against the ultimate power of the AWM!

“Grimmmz knocked out TSM-SmaK by headshot with AWM!”

However, the threat of an AWM was greater before it was fired.

Once a bullet was fired, its disadvantages being a bolt action gun was revealed. The time between shots was too long.

In a battle between professionals where every second counted, the delay could have been fatal.

Guru G was not as boorish as Liu Zilang said he was.

After that lethal shot! While everyone else was still shocked by his initial strike, he grasped the opportunity to hop onto the Mirado with Jeemzz.

Vroom vroom vroom~!

Jeemzz reversed the car and made their getaway.

Gates and TSM who were nearby were not going to let them go so easily.

Clink clank~!

A wave of bullets flew toward them!

Sparks flew from the Mirado, and their health levels dropped by varying degrees.

Guru G, who was in the shotgun passenger seat, reloaded a bullet and tried to peek out of the car to fire another shot.

However, the Mirado was too fast and the road was bumpy. The shot did not reach its intended target.

In the search for an urgent solution, Guru G opened the minimap.

“Quick! Let’s hide in the residential area up ahead!” He shouted.
