Chapter 218 - Macho Man!

Wallbang?

Yes, that’s right!

It was a wallbang!

However, it was only a wallbang due to the system’s hitreg 1 .

Normally, in the game, as long as a player managed to get behind a wall, a Frag Grenade would not be able to damage them.

However, the Frag Grenade hit at a radius. Hence, not only could it deal horizontal hits, but it could also deal vertical hits. In that current version of the game, for the Frag Grenade’s hitreg mechanic, its horizontal damage had a certain level of wall penetration.

Especially in a place like that kind of building, if a player were to toss a Frag Grenade on the second floor, the impact could be felt on the bottom floor. This was something the game did not tell players.

In other words, this game still had a lot of hidden mechanics that was not known to the public.

Liu Zilang only found out about this from his adventures solo-queueing in the NA server. He was hit by one of those things before, but he did not think much about it back then.

However, since his opponents were stuck on the bottom floor with no way in or out, he suddenly remembered that mechanic.

Hence, he invited Da Sima to serve a set meal for the two invaders below.

Furthermore, in the game, Da Sima who was a participant of the whole scheme still had no idea what was going on.

However, seeing the confusion of the viewers in the chat, as the golden lecturer, Da Sima’s confusion suddenly disappeared.

He let out a long and wise laugh as he slowly explained, “The explanation of this technique goes very deep into the mechanics of the game… Ah! I’ll skip the technical talk! The TLDR of it is – ‘Punching a Cow Through a Mountain’ 2

Hearing Da Sima’s words, the whole chatroom of the livestream went wild…

‘F*cker’s even calling this some explosive force 3 bullsh*t!’

‘You’re literally on the other side of the wall, how the hell would explosive force go through a wall?’

By that point, hearing Da Sima trying to explain the theory behind the play, Liu Zilang – the originator of the move – could not help but cover his mouth to muffle his laughter.

He thought to himself, ‘Looks like my understanding of this is still too shallow…’

…

With little to no effort, they had killed off the two people downstairs, once again claiming their territory.

Then, as the countdown to the next circle ended, the circle started shrinking.

At that point, the players in the safe zone could no longer afford to ‘stand in unity’ as they held their respective angles at Liu Zilang.

When they started running from the circle, gunshots were the standard greeting for each and every encounter.

Under those circumstances, Liu Zilang and Da Sima who were camped on top of the building went on a KS frenzy. They took down countless players.

Soon, there were only four people left in the safe zone.

Liu Zilang and Da Sima were the only duo left, the other two were just solo players.

When the circle met with the safe zone, the new safe zone spawned at the center of the last safe zone. In other words, it was at the open plains right in front of the building Liu Zilang and Da Sima was in.

‘It looks like this is going to be ‘Divine Chicken’ again, but there needs to be something more challenging for the finale.’

This thought floated in Liu Zilang’s head.

As the next circle started to close in, he wanted to at least show his viewers some actual gameplay footage.

However, just as he and Da Sima jumped out of the building, gunshots rang out in their ears.

“Ratatatat!”

“Pewpewpew!”

The next moment, two kill notifications popped up in the kill feed.

“Fire_rw killed Arcobat with AKM!”

“Fire_rw died outside the Playzone!”

“Winner winner, Chicken dinner!”

Seeing the sudden victory screen, before the two fully-geared players even got a hold of what was going on, they had won the game…

‘This is too sudden!’

‘What a hollow victory!’

If those thoughts could be heard by the players who fought tooth and nail outside of the circle previously, especially the person who died trying to get into the circle, they would probably cry blood out of rage!

‘This is the most stereotypical way of acting nice after taking advantage of someone!’

However, no matter how you put it, Liu Zilang managed to carry Da Sima to victory.

Da Sima’s stream schedule was from afternoon till night, so with that, he could proudly retire for the night.

However, before he went off stream, Da Sima as a symbol of gratitude gave Liu Zilang…

Errr… Gave him his remaining 500 fishballs.

Liu Zilang’s eye started twitching as he gave a heartfelt “thank you” to Master Ma for his 500 fishballs.

This was after he bade farewell to Master Ma’s solo “King’s Adventures” 4 in the NA server.

Afterward, the chatroom was flooded with things like “Is that you Vic?”, “Holy sh*t, this dude is carrying two lolis”, “This b*ch looks f*cking GAY 5 , etc.

‘What the hell is going on?’

Seeing the sudden flood of chat messages, Liu Zilang felt a weird sense of frustration.

He cracked his neck before noticing that there was a single unread message on his phone that was placed next to his keyboard.

He was too focused on the game earlier that he did not notice the message.

Opening it, it was a message from Zhang Xiaotong.

“I’ve uploaded the video onto Bilibili, it’s in the Dance section. Yeah, you can check it out later if you have time.”

Seeing that message, Liu Zilang finally connected the dots as to why people were spamming “two lolis” in his chat.

It seemed like his viewers had watched the video Zhang Xiaotong had uploaded onto Bilibili.

Thinking of the other messages, Liu Zilang’s expression hardened!

‘You look f*cking GAY!’

‘Your entire family looks GAY!’

Liu Zilang angrily stated, “Alright, stop spamming! Mods, come do your job! Stop this madness! Permaban anyone who utters the word ‘GAY’ in chat!”

Just as he finished speaking, Liu Zilang turned over to his chat. Then, his jaw dropped.

The people who started all of it were the Mods themselves!

At that point, the people who were enjoying it the most was them as well!

‘F*ck me…’

Liu Zilang lost all his energy as he hurriedly said, “It’s me, it’s me! That guy is me! If Xiaotong asks me to dance with them, of course I can’t say no!”

Hearing it straight from the horse’s mouth, the chat erupted once again!

“Holy f*ck! It’s actually him!”

“Couldn’t you tell just by looking at those hands? Didn’t you notice that guy’s hands look exactly like Vics!”

“Answer me! Other than Xiaotong-chan, who’s the other Loli!”

“In all fairness, Vic actually looks quite handsome!”

“Mods! Mods! There’s a traitor in our midst! Hurry up and ban that person who was calling Vic handsome earlier!”

“To be honest, he’s actually quite handsome, the more I look at him the hotter he gets! As a fangirl like me, what a blessing this is!”

“Fangirl +1 6 , Husbando 7 Vic give me a hug 8 ! Ow ow ow! 9 ”

“Another fangirl here! I knew it! Since Vic’s hands look so pretty, he must be a hottie! Mister, mister, wanna cyber-date? I have a Loli voice!”

“Stop trolling! I’m a motherf*cking Tieguanyin 10 !”

“F*cking hell! Is the stream getting raided? Why the hell are there so many fangirls?”

“Shhh! Stop talking! This bastard Vic is GAY! Maybe all those ‘fangirls’ on top are just acting like cute chicks to get his attention!”

“Good point! Good point!”

“Hey, what video are you guys talking about? Vic, stop playing dead! Let’s just play it on stream!”

“That’s right! That’s right! C’mon, show us the vid!”

At that time, Liu Zilang’s livestream popularity had reached nearly five hundred thousand.

Only a small portion of that were passersby who saw the video on Bilibili. The large majority of people had no idea what they were spamming about, so they all requested Liu Zilang to watch it live on stream.

Liu Zilang tried to ignore them at first, but seeing the ‘GAY’ spam getting more and more out of control, he did not want his other viewers to fall for such fake news and start to spam ‘GAY’ as well.

In order to correct the masses, he gritted his teeth and opened Bilibili.

‘F*cking hell!

‘Today, I’ll show you lil’ sh*ts how a true ‘Macho Man’ deals with this!’
