Chapter 106: Laughing and Playing GG

The players who originally expected to see the boss get thrashed were left dumbfounded.

Was this supposed to be thrashed?! He was clearly obliterating them completely!

This rifle was simply too incredible, one shot per person! There was no need to hit vital organs at all; whoever was struck died instantly!

Jiang Xiaoyue was also staring blankly at the screen by this time, nearly driven to tears out of frustration: "Oh my... how can this rotten boss be so formidable... how is anyone supposed to beat him now!"

"We’ve been schemed against by this black-hearted boss yet again!"

Unlike in reality, snipers in the real world generally sniped from hundreds or even thousands of meters away, taking the enemy leader's head from amidst thousands of troops, usually with only a single opportunity.

Therefore, every element had to be grasped with absolute precision—wind speed, humidity, any minute variance would become immense hundreds or thousands of meters out!

But in the game, player confrontations mostly occurred within a relatively confined area, so the sniper rifle was not only used for stationary, targeted assassinations, but also needed to handle various close-quarters emergencies.

Even if one missed and exposed their position, it would not attract an encirclement of troops like in reality, nor would they need to worry about a slow extraction cutting off their retreat.

Thus, the opportunities to strike became considerably more frequent; if it hit, it hit, and if it missed, the enemies were only in the single digits after all, rendering it far from unmanageable.

Just like at this moment, almost the exact instant after the opponent's firepower ceased, everyone witnessed the lens on the large screen zoom in once more, transforming into a black crosshair!

In a fleeting haze, the crowd seemed to see the red dot in the center of the scope overlap with a black shape,

Boom!

The rifle was holstered!

The enemy forces suffered another casualty!

At this juncture, only four people remained across the entire battlefield: Nalan Hongwu, Su Tianji, Lanyand, and Fang Qi.

"Boss, how on earth are you shooting like that?"

"They're gone before we can even see them clearly?!"

"One versus six, and now only half are left, the boss is too magnificent!"

Whether it was the bullet screen comments or the spectating players inside the internet cafe, the entire place had already exploded.

The linear distance from the warehouse doors to the roof of the police building was at least one or two hundred meters, yet you managed to instantly kill someone before anyone could even see them clearly?

That is just too excessive!

Lanyan's mind was currently an absolute blank; the rifle sounded and someone died, she simply did not wish for this kind of battle to endure any longer!

Only Nalan Mingxue saw clearly how Fang Qi was operating at this moment; raising the weapon, aiming, and firing occurred simultaneously, as if carrying a distinct cadence and rhythm, rather than a deliberate human effort to seize every single moment.

Yes, a rhythm; this rhythm allowed him to advance and retreat with measured grace, executing every motion to absolute perfection, so that even if a shot missed, he could retreat smoothly!

If it relied solely on personal reaction speed, given his current cultivation level, even if it were possible, it could never be achieved with such seamless, flowing grace!

She only just recalled that whether Fang Qi was walking or resting, he spent a significant amount of time repeating the actions of switching weapons and aiming, switching weapons and aiming, and at this very moment, he seemed to be gradually reclaiming that rhythm!

It was visible that after missing two shots, his mastery of this dark green sniper rifle had become even more consummate!

"What on earth is this monstrous thing?!" Finishing this round and looking at Fang Qi, who stood atop the police building holding the sniper rifle with barely a dozen health points remaining, Nalan Hongwu nearly leaped out of his seat!

Su Tianji was likewise on the verge of spitting blood; she felt as though Fang Qi’s rifle would never stray, just a moment ago she had clearly intended to use rapid movement to another obstacle to draw Fang Qi's attention while Nalan Hongwu fired, yet during this process, Fang Qi's barrel seemed to shift in tandem like a shadow, and immediately afterward, her health bar was instantly depleted!

In truth, it was also Fang Qi's first time utilizing it in the remastered version, but by a stroke of luck, once his intuition aligned, an subconscious flick of his hand actually resulted in a hit.

Gazing at Fang Qi on the screen, Jiang Xiaoyue stood to the side, already completely dazed.

To say nothing of biohazard players like Song Qingfeng who were highly proficient with firearms.

They were entirely stupefied! The players watching the live stream in both shops were thoroughly stupefied!

Firearms could actually be played like this?! One person taking on six people including Nalan Hongwu?!

Every single one of them was now an expert thoroughly practiced with firearms and familiar with the map!

Among this class of weaponry, it turned out there wasn't just the rocket launcher, but actually another such lethal instrument for long-range assassination?!

In fact, it was not limited to long range; everyone had already witnessed during the battle with Nalan Mingxue that this weapon could also unleash immense power at close quarters!

The power of any weapon depended not merely on the weapon itself, but equally on the individual utilizing it.

"What you used just now was a superb technique, wasn't it?" After all, Nalan Mingxue had watched the entire process from the side, "Just like the recoil-pressing technique from last time?"

"Technique?" Everyone who overheard Nalan Mingxue's words seemed to suddenly realize something, and they hurriedly turned their eyes toward Fang Qi.

This peculiar artifact that seemingly was only meant for ordinary people devoid of cultivation, which appeared to involve nothing more than the simple acts of firing and aiming, could unleash extraordinary power once enhanced by certain techniques.

...

"So this kind of weapon is called a sniper rifle?"

"The boss was using techniques called quick-scoping and drag-scoping just now?"

"When trained to a profound level, there is even an advanced technique called Gun Kata?"

"This weapon that looks so simple is actually this profound!?"

The eyes of everyone listening gleamed with excitement; if this weapon possessed such prospects, how could its future market be anything short of brilliant!?

It could even become a mainstream staple on par with sabers, swords, and other cold weapons! To be utilized by men on the battlefields of the future! It was by no means a collection of trivial, eccentric crafts.

"It really does seem incredibly powerful!"

"In the boss's hands, it is simply supernatural!" Having witnessed Fang Qi's firearm techniques, everyone erupted in admiration.

...

However, formidable as it was, at this moment, Fang Qi was surrounded by Nalan Hongwu, An Huwei, Su Tianji, and the others who had just been thoroughly thrashed in the game.

"You brat! Do you dare to have a real-world duel!" Su Tianji was the most furious; playing Legend of Sword and Fairy for a few hours had already left her highly depressed, and then she was coaxed into Counter-Strike by Fang Qi only to be thoroughly thrashed!

Her gaming experience was practically zero!

At this moment, she had already assumed a stance, ready to engage in a real-life duel with Fang Qi.

But such a thing was obviously spoken merely out of anger; would a master of the Divine Ocean Realm truly bully a Fang Qi who had not even reached the Martial Ancestor realm?

Just because of playing a game?

She was naturally not that childish.

"Brat, don't you know how to hold back a little!?" Nalan Hongwu and An Huwei, those grown men, clearly had dark expressions as well, though they fared slightly better since they had managed to kill Ye Xiaoye and Xu Zixin a few times, securing a couple of kills.

"Is there really no one who can discipline this rotten boss?" Jiang Xiaoyue, who had originally counted on them to thrash the boss, was close to tears as she initiated a bullet comment, "Someone come and discipline Boss Fang! Look how insufferably pleased he is!"

Swiftly, the spectating players who had waited all day specifically to see the boss get thrashed joined the chorus.

"Discipline the boss!"

"Boss Fang is incredible!"

"One more round!"

"We want to see the boss get beaten!"

Fang Qi instantly became the target of public criticism, and bullet comments demanding the boss be disciplined completely dominated the screen!

"How about we play another round," right at that moment, Nalan Mingxue spoke up as she finished a tub of Haagen-Dazs.

"Another round?" Fang Qi shrugged and said, "Even if I hold back, the outcome probably won't be much better."

The faces of Nalan Hongwu and the others turned utterly dark.

"What kind of talk is that?!"

In an instant, even Nalan Hongwu and An Huwei felt the sudden, fierce urge to settle this in a real-world brawl.

"Another round!" the men demanded, their faces darkened with irritation. "Do you honestly think we’re afraid of a brat like you?"

Ten minutes later...

The sharp crack of gunfire echoed again and again, leaving Nalan Hongwu once more as the sole survivor on his side. He had just absorbed a sniper round; though it had only grazed him at an awkward angle, it had already devoured more than half his health bar.

Fang Qi remained safely ensconced behind a police cruiser. Glancing at his own health bar, which still loomed comfortably at half capacity, he leisurely continued his live stream:

"You don't understand what's happening? I know you don't. It's only natural that you don't.

"You see me keeping my head down, but within this single moment, at least five waves of psychological warfare have already transpired.

"Under these conditions, no matter how he approaches, he is essentially doomed to die first. He needs multiple shots to take me down, whereas I only need to graze him once.

"Therefore, as long as I play it safe, victory is absolutely guaranteed."

With his health reduced to mere single digits, Nalan Hongwu was currently creeping forward under a veil of silence.

And at that exact moment, completely catching everyone off guard, Nalan Mingwei, who sat right beside Fang Qi, expressionlessly executed a maneuver that neither posed a physical threat to him nor could be penalized as causing trouble in the shop.

Tickle, tickle, tickle!

Hahahahaha!

The System: I saw absolutely nothing.

On the screen, Nalan Hongwu, heavy machine gun in hand: Da-da-da-da-da-da!

GG!
