It felt so magical being so high up in the air that Lu Li got distracted for a moment.

Lu Li, where are you going? Why can’t I see anyone around?
Water Fairy wondered. Didn’t they agree that they would come down together?

Oops, I floated sideways by accident. I don’t think I can go back again,
Lu Li replied, a little embarrassed.

Haha, this idiot can’t even parachute!


How can this idiot match up to my goddess?




… We already marked the spot for you to jump on the map. It’s pretty simple


Guys, look, his flight route looks dodgy. If I’m not wrong, he’s nearly at City M.


City M is one of the biggest resource points! Far out! You need at least three teams for this. This poor bugger is probably going to have a tragic ending. Let’s enjoy the sight of his slaughter. Water Fairy fell into a house in the outskirts, so he won’t have time to save her even if he finds a car.

You could imagine the contemptuous faces of the audience in the broadcasting room mocking Lu Li.
Water Fairy was annoyed; her skills were nothing special and being eliminated in the opening round was quite common. Not to mention, this was Lu Li’s first round, so it was normal to have some little mishaps.
The parachute opened forcefully and slowly drifted towards the abandoned city.
Lu Li looked at his surroundings and saw six parachutes, with more in the distance. Each parachute represented an enemy. From the map, he could see that Water Fairy was still quite far away. It wasn’t practical to run there as this would require at least an hour.
Many in the broadcasting room were waiting for the scene of his slaughter, so everyone had their eyes locked on him.
They still clung to some sort of twisted hope – if Lu Li was useless, then perhaps Water Fairy would leave him.
After landing, Lu Li sped towards a house.


Water Fairy once said that even though a fist could kill someone, it would be difficult to do so. However, once someone got their hands on a gun, then you would dead for sure.
He opened the door and swept his eyes around. It contained all sorts of things – weapon accessories and clothes, but just not a gun. Lu Li shot towards the next room and opened the door, but there was still no gun. The bathroom, kitchen…
Upstairs!
There it was, next to the foot of the stairs – a gun and two boxes of bullets. Lu Li didn’t recognise the type of gun, but he had no time to figure it out. He swiftly loaded the bullets and found another room to hide in.

This guy’s pretty agile. He doesn’t seem like a first timer.


Haven’t you guys seen that he closes the door of every room he’s been in?


That’s true! He’s been faking it this whole time – what a crafty one!


There’s probably no one who thinks this house has been searched. Little do they know, he’s hiding in the bathroom, squatting on the toilet and going to shoot the first person that opens the door.


Nice! Even though the S686 is one of the worst guns, it’s invincible in close combat. Whoever comes through is going to be dead meat.


Footsteps!



You could hear footsteps in this game, especially on floorboards. The audience shared Lu Li’s perspective and environment, and since they could hear the footsteps, so could Lu Li, who had steadily aimed his gun at the door.
The footsteps were getting closer. They entered a room and seemed to have found something, then moved towards another door.
The footsteps moved from left to right, before finally, they slowly arrived at the bathroom.
There were many crafty people with little tricks, but those like Lu Li, who were meticulous enough to go through every room door and close them were quite rare. This especially so because the first thing people did once they landed was find guns and equipment, then kill people. Those who didn’t have any guns or equipment couldn’t do anything anyway.
Lu Li didn’t know much; he didn’t even know what type of gun he had in his hands.
He just thought that if he had the doors closed, no one would think that he was here. Then, he could perform a sneak attack when the other person wasn’t paying attention.
As a Thief, he was used to hiding himself first and then finding an opportunity to attack.
This player didn’t think that that behind every closed-door room there could be an ambush. The most obvious evidence was the first aid kit lying in the living room – it had the ability to give HP. No matter who saw the first aid kit, they would take it for themselves as soon as they saw it.
The bathroom door opened.
Bang!


The player’s eyes saw only black.
Lu Li heard the system notification that he had knocked down this player using a S686.
However, he saw that the person was still crawling on the ground, so he gave him another shot.
The player stopped moving straight away. A box appeared next to the body, which Lu Li opened to find a P1911 handgun and a UMP9 assault rifle. Other than that, there were bandages, a first aid kit and accessories for the firearms.
Lu Li grabbed it all, including the backpack of the other person.

Quick hands you got there. Been single for a while, eh?

The broadcasting room’s audience was struck dumb with astonishment.

Such skilful movements! Didn’t you guys say he doesn’t even know how to parachute?! That it’s his first time playing this game?!


Stop talking, there’s footsteps!

Lu Li stopped abruptly, looked up and saw a person appear outside the door. He was stunned for a second, then aimed his gun to shoot at Lu Li.


In fact, Lu Li opened fire before his opponent, but the gun went ‘clank’ in his hands.
There weren’t any more bullets. What type of gun was this? It had only been used twice and needed to reload?! However, his reflexes were not slow. He instantly jumped to hide behind a wall to reload and waited for his opponent to stop firing before jumping back out again to aim a bullet at their head.
Knocked down!
This game was about surviving in a dead end. Usually, there wasn’t the issue of being one-shot, as if you lost all your HP and died, your teammates could revive you. However, if you were left alone, and there was no one to save you, then you would truly die after losing all your HP again.
What a killer gun!
Lu Li’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the rifle in his hands, thinking about how fun this game was.
Even though Water Fairy couldn’t see what was happening on Lu Li’s end, she and Lu Li had connecting mics and could hear everything that had happened. This meant that she could hear the barrage of bullets on his side.
Lu Li had two kills!

What should I do?
he asked dumbly while Water Fairy was being converted to a ‘Lu Li fangirl’.

Is there anyone else around?
Water Fairy asked.

Don’t know. I killed two, so if there’s two in a team then there shouldn’t be anymore.


No, it’s too dangerous there. Gunshots can be heard from far away so the people in that area would know your position,
Water Fair expressed her worry as she searched for supplies.

I can’t just keep hiding – I have to go and try to find some supplies.

Even though Lu Li usually opted for a stealthy route, he was not afraid of a fight. He checked his trophies and said,
By the way, I have two dead bodies here, and they both had stuff in their bags that we can take. What do you want? I can bring it for you.


Wow~
Water Fairy felt really happy and a tiny bit spoilt, and replied,
Let’s see what you’ve got.
