Chapter 642 - Do You Believe In Feng Shui, Kid? (Part 3)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Misaka Mikoto was the ‘mascot’ of a professional esports team, and Liu Zilang had perfect comprehension of her shooting capabilities.

You could not say that she was accurate nor inaccurate.

She was at an indeterminable point between ‘accurate’ and ‘inaccurate’.

It might be a little hard to understand, so an example might help…

Until after she had fired a shot, there was no guarantee that she would be able to hit a target that was supposed to be unmissable.

On the other hand, it was not impossible for her to hit targets that were absolutely out of reach.

You could say that, like her master Liu Zilang, Misaka Mikoto had invested a considerable number of skill points in her Luck stat.

For those reasons, Liu Zilang was not too worried about giving her the mission of shooting at his teammates.

If GodV and Long Shenjue were killed, there was nothing for them to do other than blame it on bad luck…

Furthermore, it would not be Liu Zilang himself who had killed them. They would not be able to blame him by saying he was not a team player!

After devising the plan, Liu Zilang felt satisfied with himself. He turned toward his south.

The fate of the two people in town was left to the ambitious and diligent Misaka Mikoto!

…

Behind the boulder on the slope.

Kim Doohwan was contemplating his life choices.

‘I was born a good person. How’d I end up like this?’

Sigh!

Their pickup truck was in front of them, forming a ninety-degree angle with the boulder. Hence, they were shielded against incoming gunfire from their front and side.

Swish swish swish~!

Bullets rained down from the hilltop, hitting the pickup truck in front of them. The metal chassis of the truck strained under the impact.

Kim Doohwan squinted as he silently swapped to his Kar98K that was slung on his back.

He preemptively aimed at a spot and then exposed himself!

Bang!

A shot rang out.

A high-speed sniper bullet whizzed its way uphill!

It has to be said that this shot by Kim Doohwan was swift and accurate.

Furthermore, the distance between the teams was less than a hundred meters.

At such a short distance, one sniper shot usually translated to one person being knocked out.

That was because the bullet’s initial speed was greater than the speed of sound. Moreover, the bullet’s trajectory was almost a straight line at such a distance!

As long as you were accurate, your shots would definitely hit!

However, after Kim Doohwan’s shot had been fired, no one on the hilltop was knocked out.

At the exact moment when Kim Doohwan had fired, Gao Yunyang happened to look downhill.

Standing on the edge between life and death, he noticed a weak flash of light!

After long years of training and accumulating experience in FPS games, Gao Yunyang had developed some sort of muscle memory. When his eyes detected the flash of light, his body reacted faster than his brain could process what was happening.

Reflexively…

Gao Yunyang tilted his head.

In reality, Gao Yunyang’s index finger had been prepared to crouch. However, that decision was immediately vetoed by his middle finger.

Too slow!

In slow-motion, on the caster’s camera, a streak of light was seen brushing past the gleaming level two helmet on Gao Yunyang’s head. He had dodged at the exact moment when the shot was fired.

The smell of gunpowder lingered in the air as the bullet whistled past his ear…

Having witnessed this unprecedented scene, the bullet screen of the live-stream channel exploded with activity!

“Oh my god, is this The Matrix?”

“Someone give that man an ice Cola!”

“That head tilt was unbelievably cool!”

“Coach! Teach me that move!”

“…”

In the game, Gao Yunyang was a little stunned that he had just averted death. He sharpened his gaze. The lazy look on his face had been wiped clean.

Kim Doohwan immediately retracted his body after delivering the shot. He waited confidently behind the truck for a kill notification but it never appeared.

He was shocked!

As a sniper at the peak of his career, Kim Doohwan was confident that his shot had not missed its target. However, he could not imagine how his opponent could have dodged the bullet.

As for him retracting his body after firing a shot, it was a habit of his.

He thought that it was a cool sendoff pose, and at the same time, it dodged any form of retaliation from his victim’s teammates.

His heart was mired in a mixture of confusion and regret. Why did the indulgent bad habit of his have to rear its ugly head at such a crucial moment?

The brief exchange had made them roughly aware of each other’s skill levels.

Hence, after that, the two sides played rather conservatively.

They threw smoke grenades and spread out their formation. All the usual tricks in a duo squad battle were used.

The two sides appeared to be having a standoff. However, in reality, Li Muqiu and Gao Yunyang were gradually reducing the distance between them and their opponent.

They were among the top-tier riflers in the world. There was no reason for them to keep a distance.

Their principle in fighting was, if it was possible to kill their enemy in close quarters, there was no need to prolong the battle from afar.

Kar98K warning shot?

That was a sissy move.

Kim Doohwan and EscA’s were fully focused on the frontal battle between them and Li Muqiu who was with Gao Yunyang.

The reason for this was because they were fighting at the edge of the safe zone. One wanted to enter while the other wanted to keep them out.

The other reason was that they did not have to worry about getting attacked from the side. Liu Zilang’s line of fire was being blocked by the boulder on the slope.

Unless there was another opponent on the other side of the boulder, or if someone’s bullets could penetrate the boulder, they were in no immediate threat.

Those were the reasons why Kim Doohwan and EscA could focus their undiverted attention toward Li Muqiu and Gao Yunyang.

On Hua Xia’s commentary platform.

“Guru Qiu and Sloth are playing very decisively! There are less than fifty meters between the two teams.”

“That’s right. However, players Kim and EscA have covered the area on top of them with a smokescreen. It looks like they want to preserve their vehicle.”

“Hm… I’m guessing that they’re waiting for their opponents to come down the hill, to which they’ll respond by driving away on their truck.”

“We’ll just have to see who’s faster.”

“Wait a second… Why do I keep hearing Vic firing his gun? What’s he shooting at?”

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

…

The unique sound of the Win94 being fired consecutively had attracted the caster’s attention.

The camera panned on the big screen. It first showed Liu Zilang who was standing on the rooftop of the motel.

Following the direction his gun was pointed in, the camera panned to the minibus that was missing a wheel and was parked sideways on the hill.

The viewers in the Chinese live-stream channels were shocked when they saw this strange scene!

Liu Zilang… Vehicle… Kim Doohwan… Slope… Why does this setup feel oddly familiar?

Psht!

The minibus that was parked sideways on the hill had another one of its wheels taken off. Hence, it sank to the ground and its tall chassis lost balance!

It fell sideways on the slope with a loud crash and then started sliding downhill as it gained momentum!

Not far below, halfway up the slope, was a hazy cloud of smoke.

Behind the cloud of smoke was the pickup truck.

Behind the pickup truck were Kim Doohwan and EscA who were busy fighting against Li Muqiu and Gao Yunyang.

This scene… had caused countless live stream viewers who had spectated the Asian preliminary rounds to be stunned!

Do you believe in feng shui…

Kid?
