The three of them chose their Legends.
Their regular lineup that consisted of Bangalore, Gibraltar, and Lifeline once again made a fresh emergence.
——Bangalore and Gibraltar’s double ultimate, canons matched with thunder, with the addition of Lifeline’s airdrop summoning skills that nourished her teammates, could be considered an excellent match for characters that heavily utilized ultimates.
Li Zhongchen did not intend to play Bloodhound this time.
First, it was because he did not want to be too showy. When playing hunting-type characters, it would not be his Echo style if there were no showy and unique maneuvers used; second of all, it was because he wanted to coordinate with Qiao Yi’s playstyle of high equipment turnover that did not follow orthodox means. The term ‘Big Sister’ used to address Bangalore was not in vain.
Qiao Yi was in the team.
Needless to say, of course he would be the captain and take charge of issuing commands.
In addition, Qiao Yi was especially capable in stream sniping. According to the situation from what they had spied on in the broadcast room, the estimated lag from the livestream IND, in addition to them having high scoring games, it was easy to match up with those two veterans from the European server.
After the game loaded and they had gotten on the airship, he pressed M to check the flight route on the map. Sure enough, they successfully entered the same battlefield with Wing and Lau.
Yao Tong turned to Li Zhongchen and mouthed, “Sister-in-law is awesome.”
Li Zhongchen raised his eyebrow.
In the game interface, he secretly sent a private message to Yao Tong: I learned my stream sniping skills from him.
“Got it,” Qiao Yi’s voice rang clear through the headphones. “Turn off your livestreams.”
The implication of his statement was: Do not play dirty, fuck them up fair and square.
“Ai, okay,” Yao Tong answered and flattered. “God Qiao, then where should we jump? Should we be more cautious or open fire right away?”
“Maybe the airbase?” Qiao Yi asked.
The location that he said was near the flight route and was south to the runoff. It was an area rich in resources, and was very suitable for early game development. As for how many people there were, it all depended on one’s luck.
Yao Tong did not have any objections. “Okay, okay.”
Li Zhongchen: “En.”
After confirming the location for landing, they parachuted out of the cabin. Qiao Yi directed the jump, and as they were approaching the ground, they all split up with tacit understanding.
Bangalore, which was operated by Li Zhongchen, landed on the flat area of the arena, the distance between himself and Gibraltar and Lifeline was no more than 30 meters.
Supply boxes were everywhere. He quickly searched and looted. His luck was not bad, having gotten purple armor and a backpack. Even his guns and bullets were enough. At this time, a beam of light burst out from below, accompanied by the sound of gunfire. This indicated that a battle had broken out.
“It’s not ours.” Yao Tong said.
Li Zhongchen held his breath as he discerned. He, who was extremely sensitive to sounds, immediately determined the direction.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Bangalore, who was armed with an R-99 submachine gun, jumped down from the corridor on the right. As expected, she met with the enemy. The other party had just finished off Pathfinder from an opposing team. He reacted nimbly, firing in quick succession as he shot at the two opponents on the side.

“It’s pretty rich,” he began to quickly loot the box. After changing his gun and picking up ammunition and medicine, he spoke as he found a second box. “There’s an Ultimate Accelerant, should I send it over to you?”
Every Legend had a unique ultimate skill.
The Ultimate Accelerant could greatly reduce the cooldown for the ultimate.
——It was unanimously agreed that giving this item to Lifeline was the priority, unless you had hit yourself on the head and did not want your team’s support to summon an airdrop.
Yao Tong did not say a word. This “you” was exclusively meant for Xiao Qiao. He was not such an ignorant person.
But Qiao Yi only responded lightly. “No need, I’ll come over.”
Li Zhongchen: “I marked a location for you.”
Qiao Yi softly responded with an “En.”
Young Master Yao Tong internally: Ah~ I really am a walking lightbulb~ The kind that shines brilliantly and dazzlingly~
After clearing out the airbase, the ring refreshed near the central area.
It was thrilling all through the way. Every team they encountered ended in a tough battle. It was not easy for them to be able to finally get back on their feet. Li Zhongchen’s private chat with Yao Tong popped up in an eye-catching manner. It was difficult for him to ignore it even if he wanted to—
[Come Get Trashed, European Server’s Number One Noob Lau]: Just talk to him, relax the atmosphere a little. Don’t be so stiff.
[Come Get Trashed, European Server’s Number One Noob Lau]: You with the last name Yao, don’t act like you don’t see it.
[Come Get Trashed, European Server’s Number One Noob Lau]: Uncle, why aren’t you responding to your niece’s words?
[If You’re A Bro, Then Come Cut Scummy Wing]: What should I say? But, Xiao Qiao originally doesn’t like to talk when he’s playing games.
[If You’re A Bro, Then Come Cut Scummy Wing]: Besides, aren’t we here tonight to cut people down? Is it that difficult to be ruthless while being a person of few words = =
[Come Get Trashed, European Server’s Number One Noob Lau]: ? We are here to cut people down, you’re not wrong.
[Come Get Trashed, European Server’s Number One Noob Lau]: If I ask him to unblock me, it won’t cause any conflicts, right?
[If You’re A Bro, Then Come Cut Scummy Wing]:…
[If You’re A Bro, Then Come Cut Scummy Wing]: I’m just selling art and my body at this ppoint, only receiving one portion of pay but having to do double the labor. Heavens, open up your eyes and send someone to end me.
But he had not expected that his crow mouth would be so efficacious.
The trajectory of the bullet shot straight towards them, shot after shot resounding loudly. Someone was deliberately aiming for them from a cliff in the distance, sniping at them.
It was not counted if only one shot had been made. Yao Tong was shot three times consecutively.
He fell directly to the ground.
Qiao Yi’s voice was cold and tinged with coldness. “You were already shot once, why didn’t you react and hide?!”Lifeline used her passive ability.
She turned around to rescue Gibraltar, a shield forming in front of her that effectively blocked the spray of bullets that came from the enemy.
Yao Tong was speechless. “……”
Li Zhongchen clicked his tongue. He was truly pitted to death by Yao Tong.
After Bangalore glided over and climbed up a higher location on the roof, she hid behind a bunker. She equipped a high powered scope on a light machine gun and locked the position. Bullets were fired in a swift sweep, ringing out as they grazed the ground, causing the opponent not daring to peek his head out.
It was a thrilling experience without danger that just came along with the journey.
At first, they had thought that they had run head on into Wing and Lau. However, after defeating their enemies in a long-ranged battle, they had all died, but their IDs did not match.
Li Zhongchen was afraid that Qiao Yi would be upset, so he explained, “it was my fault.”
Qiao Yi did not ask specifically and spoke in a deep voice. “Head to the south of the Market. Take the higher grounds, when we continue forward we’ll be attacked for sure. Our position is not good.”
“Alright,” Yao Tong had no objection. He thought to himself that Xiao Qiao was scary when he was playing games.
Li Zhongchen took a deep breath and did not dare to talk nonsense.
Only because before they were being ambushed by others, he could clearly feel that the team’s rhythm was grasped well this time. It was probably because of that he became full of himself and got too conceited.
His and Yao Tong’s brutal marksmanship could only be limited to this point. They did not care about how they should be playing, as long as their muzzle was aimed at someone, they would chase them down relentlessly without care for ambush or traps. They were the kind that would fight with whatever appeared in their view to the bitter end.
This style of play required Lifeline to be like their son, following them closely, sparing no effort to kill alongside you, and even needed to constantly heal you crazily.
As for Qiao Yi, who had been taking the lead along the way, he would determine a route but would never force them. At the end of the day, it was not too far-fetched to say that he was the one cooperating with the two of them.
Although Qiao Yi did not say anything.
But ever since the beginning of the match, he was indeed tentatively feeling them out. He tried to adjust and integrate with them, and even made it very obvious.
Li Zhongchen was nervous, as though he was going through an assessment. The examiner was his ex-boyfriend and had long already given him a bad review before the assessment. And only when they had received an experience that far surpassed his expectations would Qiao Yi reluctantly give him a passing grade——
That was not enough. If he wanted the other party to agree to signing into SVG, getting a perfect grade was an absolute prerequisite. Otherwise, there would be no negotiation.
“……” Li Zhongchen begrudged silently. Tonight, they could not not have Wing and Lau’s heads.
In a glance, the ring refreshed once again. They had just finished off a group of enemies, and the poison was already beginning to spread around them.
Gibraltar’s HP was critically low, and Lifeline had just released DOC for healing earlier and no longer having a drone. The mini healing machine could allow both her teammates and herself receive healing at the same time.
As for Li Zhongchen’s Bangalore, being the assault player on the most forefront, was also critically low in HP and was currently using the Med Kit a short distance away.
According to reason, he would run off once his HP was full, and nothing would be amiss.
But who could have known that it was at this moment.
Another group of people came from the rear. The sudden gunshots caught them from their behinds and immediately knocked down Gibraltar, who had low health. Li Zhongchen was stunned.
“How are there still people?!”
He frowned. Not to mention, he had not even heard the sound of footsteps.
At this time, Lifeline had just recovered half health.
Initially they could have survived without much trouble. But in order to take the risk and wanting to save Gibraltar that had fallen and was crawling on the ground, who could have known that aside from the team that had shot at them from behind, another bullet came from a different direction and sniped Lifeline.
Yao Tong scolded. “Fuck, there’s someone even more underhanded that us. Two teams.”
Qiao Yi: “It’s Yu Wen.”
Li Zhongchen frowned, brows tightly knitted. He set off two consecutive smokescreens, and the area was immediately enveloped by smog.
With geographical advantage, Bangalore, who had recovered health, sprang out from the bunker at the right time, releasing her ultimate and summoning bolts of thunder.
The thunder that fell from the sky roared loudly. Within the smoke that permeated the area, Bangalore, which was controlled by Li Zhongchen, displayed rapid, accurate, and stable marksmanship. Shot after shot were fired, and he took advantage of the downtime to replenish his health. It was one versus two, going head to head with those that had taken advantage of their vulnerability to swoop in.
The other side was attacked by him to the point that they had to hide and replenish their health.
The area had too much poison.
In fact, he should have ran away immediately. But he did something that was completely out of Qiao Yi and Yao Tong’s expectations.
Within the smog, he administered the Med Kit and retrieved the respawn beacons of both his teammates.
“Ah?!” Yao Tong was stunned, his eyes widened.
“You circle around and advance into the ring on your own,” Qiao Yi said, his mind boggled. “Can’t you see the nearest green beacon?!”
The green beacon was the area on the map where teammates could be resurrected.
At this time, the Ring was already very small. If he were to go and resurrect his teammates, it was simply him courting his own death. His movements could attract enemies who were within a few miles of radius, much less now.
Li Zhongchen paid no heed. He climbed up the chain and increased his pace as he held the resurrection beacons.
In reality, his approach was mixed with selfishness.
If he had been on the battlefield, professionalism would have prevented him from doing such a thing after the Ring had respawned.
“You don’t have to go so far. At the very least, the two of them are from the top two teams in the European server,” Qiao Yi’s voice was light. “We still have the next round.”
But Li Zhongchen’s eyes were filled with murder.
His voice was firm. Unknowingly, he was possessed with an aura of dauntlessness. “This round, we’re hitting the jackpot.”
