Book 6: Chapter 62:1: The Winners Feast, the Rich Gamble, Part 1
Should we jump together or separately? And where should we jump?
Before you arrived, we other Servants had already agreed to jump to the nuclear power plant together. Although supplies are scarce, safety is ensured. If you want to join us, look for me. Queen of Sheba, make sure to click Parachute follow.
Alright, Jeanne dArc, be careful. This game is a bit different from the games in our world. They play using either virtual reality helmets or virtual reality gaming pods, which should make them more agile than using a computer or phone. The tactics can be dirtier, so be cautious. Im going to loot and then stake out the bridge on the right.

After jumping through the window, the first thing Chen Heng saw was a fearsome sniper rifle, a must-have for stealthy players, the VSS, next to the window, along with some ammunition.
[TL Note: Here is more information on the VSS: /wiki/VSS_Vintorez. It is likely based on a real gun model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AS_Val_and_VSS_Vintorez.]
Why was this rifle called a must-have for stealthy players? Because it made no noise when firing, at least past a range of 100 meters. Beyond that range, VSS shots wouldnt produce any gunshots or muzzle flashes.
Of course, it had its drawbacks, such as a slow rate of fire. Theres a saying: if one VSS bullet hits you, youll have 19 more pouring into you after a while.
Chen Heng, being the sneaky player he was, immediately picked up the rifle, along with 60 rounds of ammunition.
After Chen Heng searched a few houses on the outskirts, his gear had changed significantly. He now had a VSS, an M416, several rounds of ammunition, two frag grenades, a smoke grenade, level 1 armor, a level 1 helmet, a level 2 backpack, and an 8x scope.
[TL Note: Here is more information on the M416: /wiki/M416. It is likely based on a real gun model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_26_Koch_HK416.]
After finishing the search, Chen Heng headed for the bridge to the right, which connected the large and small islands.
This truly was a game. Despite running for 300 meters, he didnt feel tired at all. This kind of physical condition wasnt something an ordinary person could have; he was indeed a special forces soldier.
Three minutes later, Chen Heng reached the bridge on the right side of the island map. Along the way, he encountered several restrooms and checked them for supplies but found nothing substantial, only a compensator and an extended magazine for the M416, which he mounted on his weapon.
[TL Note: A compensator is a gun attachment to help with recoil. Heres more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_brake.]
Looking up at the massive bridge, Chen Heng considered his options. Instead of climbing onto the bridge, he decided to belly down in the nearby grass.
Chen Heng had consulted the map earlier. The location of this bridge was excellent. The central zone of the danger circle was near the research facility. The first circle excluded the military base entirely. If anyone wanted to cross over, there was a 50 percent chance they would choose this bridge.
Only a few minutes had passed, so the gunfight at the military base was likely still ongoing. Therefore, no one would be crossing this bridge for now. However, given the danger circles position, it was inevitable that aggressive players would come to block the bridge. Thus, Chen Heng didnt position himself on the bridge.
