Chapter 119: Blue Fragments!
Seeing that the members of RGS wanted to flee one by one, Jiang Siming decided to take down one more.
The range of the crossbow in his hand wasn't enough, so Jiang Siming took out the suppressed Kar98k that had been stored on his back.
With an easy shot, leading his aim slightly, he took down the last member of RGS.
The audience finally understood Wei Shen and his team's feelings at that moment—sympathy, how pitiful~
Another teammate went down, but Mentenl decisively ordered a retreat; he couldn't continue to fight Jiang Siming, or he would really have to retire and return home.
Although his decision was correct, it undoubtedly declared to the world that RGS had chickened out—they were beaten into submission by a single person.
This reputation would follow them forever—thus, the term "cowardly team" was born.
Taking down another member, Jiang Siming knew the enemy's teammates had already fled and wouldn't come back to save him.
So he didn't finish him off right away and let him kneel on the road for a while longer, then turned around to pick up the blue shard.
"Picked up [Detox and Beauty Pills Box] Blue Shard *1 (1/1), Shard count is full, can be used directly."[Detox and Beauty Pills]:
Can eliminate most impurities and toxins in the body, revitalizing the skin and making you look more than ten years younger.
When used by men, it can enhance spleen and kidney function; when used by women, it beautifies and enhances skin.
Note: There are ten pills in one box, and each person can only consume one.
This kind of thing exists? Isn't this just a health supplement?
But Jiang Siming thought about it—those so-called health supplements are just a mix of random Chinese and Western medicines claiming to have powerful effects like detoxification and beauty enhancement.
But no matter how much you take, it doesn't really do much; at most, it reduces heat and provides some nutrition. 99% of the detox and beauty products on the market are just supplements.
However, since it was written on the shard, Jiang Siming firmly believed it was real. Anything produced by shards must be top-quality.
"I'll give this stuff to Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, and Little Sis. The rest can go to Xinyi, Sister Zhao, Jiang Lan, Dadai, and Tuantuan. Perfect distribution!"
Jiang Siming chuckled, feeling fortunate that he didn't have too many girlfriends; otherwise, there wouldn't be enough to go around.
He wouldn't eat it himself; his physical condition was almost like an alien's by now, so there wouldn't be much benefit from taking it.
After storing the shard, Jiang Siming drove out the car he had hidden.
The downed RGS member was still lying on the ground, tossing items out. Even in death, he wanted to disgust Jiang Siming by making him search for his gear slowly. ŕ
But Jiang Siming never intended to take his gear at all. He didn't even bother to get out of the car; he just drove over the corpse and sped away.
It was the first time Jiang Siming had picked up a blue shard, and he was in a great mood.
He also roughly categorized the shards.
White shards are for game skills,
Red shards are for real-life skills,
Gold shards are for wealth,
Black shards are for high-tech,
Green shards are for physical talent,
Purple shards are for gene potions.
Originally, Jiang Siming thought that was all, but this blue shard told him that there were other types of shards.
Blue shards seem to be pills or something similar, but since he only picked up one, Jiang Siming couldn't draw any conclusions.
But he was looking forward to the future, wondering if there would be more shard colors and what kind of surprises they would bring.
Could there be martial arts manuals? Immortal cultivation techniques? Divine swords? Elixirs for immortality?
And so on.
Even Jiang Siming was a bit amused by his own imagination. Shaking his head, he decided to stop fantasizing and focus on the game—kill more people and collect more shards!
Jiang Siming's car exited the first safe zone, and there was no one camping at the edge, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. He had been worried that RGS or AFF might be waiting for him out of spite, and that would have been a near-death experience.
Wei Shen and his two teammates were still alive and well, camping in the school area, chatting casually now and then, looking quite relaxed.
After all, they had already secured advancement; now they just needed to focus on surviving, letting Lao Jiang take the risks. That would be enough.
They actually wanted to take risks too, but their skill didn't allow it~
They were facing opponents of the same level, and one careless move could cost them their lives.
It was better to let Jiang Siming go. This guy's skill far exceeded that of all professional players. Even if he died from taking risks, they were still there; they wouldn't lose everything.
Jiang Siming drove past the school area without stopping.
Wei Shen laughed and took a couple of shots in Jiang Siming's direction, just to scare him.
This scene happened to be caught by the God's Eye camera, and the audience laughed. Of course, they didn't think Wei Shen was in a real conflict with Jiang Siming.
This playful shooting to scare a teammate was something almost every player had done—it was a sign of strong friendship.
The camaraderie within 4am reminded many viewers of the old RNG team from League of Legends, though it lacked the 'bromance' element.
Back then, the friendships within RNG gained them a huge fanbase among LoL players. If it hadn't been for the quarterfinal incident at Worlds 2018, they would have been the most popular team in the world.
But alas, one match brought them back to reality, and now they had more haters than fans...
Jiang Siming also believed that if their team performed poorly in this tournament like OMG often did, then forget about friendship—even if they staged a romance, they'd still face the wrath and ridicule of countless haters.
This is the current problem in the esports industry—results are the only standard.
If your performance is good, you can do whatever you want. If your performance is bad, even drinking water will make people say you're lazy and wasting your life.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Of course, this isn't something unique to China. Every country is like this.
Luckily, Jiang Siming doesn't need to worry about that. His strength is enough to shut everyone up.
A plane flew by and dropped a supply crate not far from Jiang Siming.
Jiang Siming was incredibly bold, even though the crate landed in a dense forest full of trees, he still drove over.
As soon as the car stopped near the crate, bullets started flying, but Jiang Siming hid behind the crate and avoided getting hit.
However, his car wasn't as lucky, and the tires were immediately shot out.
Jiang Siming quickly grabbed everything from the supply crate and ran.
He now had a ghillie suit. Dressed in the grass-green suit, he could lie in any patch of grass in the logging yard, throw away his frying pan, and even gods couldn't spot him!
Jiang Siming's crossbow was still strapped to his back, but he swapped out his 98k for an AWM, complete with a silencer and an extended quick-draw magazine.
Jiang Siming crouched in a bush, took his hands off the keyboard, and leisurely picked up the iced cola that Yoona brought him, taking a sip. It was sweet and cold—so refreshing!
Wei Shen and the others all gave him disapproving looks. Was this guy here to compete or to watch a movie? They had never seen anyone so relaxed while playing a game.
After another sip, Jiang Siming felt like something was off.
Wait, hold on... why is there a light red lipstick mark on the straw??? Someone drank from this? No wonder the straw smelled so good.
At that moment, Yoona, sitting in the audience, also realized. She had bought two colas, one for Jiang Siming and one for herself.
She had secretly drunk a bit from her own, but now she realized the one in her hand was still unopened.
"Oh my god... I mixed them up..." Yoona felt utterly embarrassed.
She could only pray that Jiang Siming either didn't drink from that cup, or if he did, he didn't notice anything strange...
