483: Come on, max out the specs, I'll play with you guys.

One year later in the real world.

Clatter, clatter—

"Son, play later, eat something first."

Liang Chunhua pushed open the door, carrying a plate of grapes, and held one up to Liu Yan's mouth.

Liu Yan dodged the grape, focusing intently on the screen.

At this moment, he was playing Mighty Dragon, with a giant wave in his left hand and an AWM in his right, holding an angle in the Aerospace Corridor with Chen Yu.

"Mom, I won't eat for now, just leave them next to me."

The grape shoved in front of his mouth was seriously affecting Liu Yan's gameplay.

Liang Chunhua sighed as she looked at Liu Yan, who basically hadn't left the house for a year and played games every day.

"You don't even talk about going out to find a partner."

"Just playing games at home without exercising, your body is going to go to waste."

"Eat the grapes first, can't you just pause that game for a second?"

Liu Yan sighed helplessly.

"I told you, you don't need to worry about my body, it won't go to waste."

"If you really can't believe it, just name any world record right now, and I'll go break it in a bit just to show you."

"Also, Mom, this is an online game, you really can't pause it!"

"Fine, fine, fine, you're annoyed by your mom. I'll leave them here, remember to eat them when you're done."

Liang Chunhua placed the grapes next to the computer desk and then left the room grumbling.

After Liang Chunhua left, Chen Yu's voice came through Liu Yan's headset.

"Are you done on your end? The enemies have pulled back, let's push them hard."

"Done, done, let's go, charge!"

As the words fell, the Red Wolf operated by Chen Yu and the Mighty Dragon operated by Liu Yan moved toward the end of the corridor simultaneously.

Meanwhile, another team was holding the corridor corner outside the CEO Area.

"Old tactics!"

As Liu Yan spoke, he swung out from behind cover with a big jump!

Bang—!!!

Whoosh—!

In mid-air, before the opponent could lock onto Liu Yan's position, he had already jetted back using the power propulsion device.

A bullet accurately hit the position where Liu Yan's head had been just a moment ago in mid-air.

But by pulling back with the power propulsion device, Liu Yan narrowly avoided the shot.

Swoosh—

At the same time, on the ground, the Red Wolf operated by Chen Yu performed a stylish slide, swinging out almost at the same moment Liu Yan jetted back!

Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang—!!

Immediately after, Liu Yan, who had already landed, used the acceleration after the jetting to charge forward again, swinging out with another big jump!

Dut-dut-dut-dut—!!

Bang—!!!!

Bang—!!!!

Before their gunfire could exchange more than a few rounds, both were sent back to the Special Operations Department by two AWM shots.

Whether it was Chen Yu or Liu Yan, both were headshotted by the AWM while moving.

One was sliding, the other was jumping; even so, the AWM's bullets still locked onto their heads.

Looking at the 'Extraction Failed' on the screen, both of them fell silent simultaneously.

A moment later, Chen Yu broke the silence.

"Damn it, encountered a cheater again!"

"I watched the kill cam, when we were in the corridor, their crosshair was already tracking our heads."

Liu Yan let out a long breath, grabbed a grape, and popped it into his mouth.

"One more round, I don't believe this."

"Quick, kit up, use quick-equip."

But Chen Yu didn't kit up as usual; instead, he stretched and said:

"I'm done, I'm done."

"It's my turn to take care of the kid."

Liu Yan was stunned, then remembered that Chen Nian had been born for a while now.

"Ah, alright then, taking care of the kid is more important."

After saying that, Chen Yu said goodbye and logged off.

Feeling bored by himself, Liu Yan opened his friend list.

Lin Han, Toad, and Guo Li were in the same team.

"Top Secret Aerospace Base, 25 minutes..."

With just a glance, Liu Yan knew the three of them were bridge camping again.

"You've been bridge camping for a year, don't you get tired of it?"

Liu Yan picked up his phone, intending to call Fuji and Zhao Chuang to get online, but then he shook his head.

Fuji was traveling the world with Meiling, saying he wanted to show her what the world originally looked like.

He only had time to play games at night.

As for Zhao Chuang, he couldn't figure out how to play the game at all.

Scrolling through the list, Liu Yan suddenly thought of Shen Cangsheng.

Then he shook his head again.

This guy played nothing but Naruto every day.

Whenever he messaged him, he would mumble about things like 'Steel Egg Ball Explosion.'

Or he'd make all sorts of thunderous remarks.

After some thought, Liu Yan finally locked his target on Cai Ning.

Liu Yan: "You there? Get on, I'll carry you to a win."

Cai Ning: "I'm coming."

Looking at Cai Ning's message, Liu Yan smiled and nodded.

"It's still the old brothers who are reliable."

Saying that, Liu Yan put his headset back on, waiting for Cai Ning to get online.

10 minutes later.

Liu Yan: "Where are you?"

Cai Ning: "Wait a bit, I'm in the bathroom, coming right now."

Liu Yan: "Fine."

10 minutes later.

Liu Yan: "Did you fall in?"

Cai Ning: "Coming, coming."

Seeing Cai Ning finally log on, Liu Yan curled his lip and pulled Cai Ning into the team.

In the headset, Cai Ning's voice came through:

"Brother, wait for me, my warehouse is lagging."

Hearing this, Liu Yan almost couldn't catch his breath, squeezing the word out from between his teeth:

"Fine!"

20 minutes later.

Liu Yan had finished all the grapes beside him.

He had even watched Lin Han's stream for a while.

In the stream, Lin Han was cross-dressing, bridge camping while interacting with the fans in the chat.

And the fans watching him were all former Operators who had learned bridge camping from him.

Cross-dressing was also Lin Han fulfilling a promise he had once made to them.

Putting down his phone, Liu Yan let out a long sigh, his impatience clearly showing.

"Are you ready yet?"

"Almost, I have too many heart of africa in my warehouse, it's lagging so I can't kit up."

"Then just damn well sell them!"

"My haf coins have reached the limit."

Hearing this, Liu Yan felt a tightness in his chest.

Cai Ning's system was still there, and its loot efficiency in the game was many times more exaggerated than in the Third District.

20 minutes later, Cai Ning finally let out a long sigh.

At the same time, the sound of Cai Ning lighting a cigarette came through Liu Yan's headset.

Then Cai Ning spoke arrogantly:

"Let's go, brother, let's storm the Aerospace Base!"

Looking at Cai Ning's extreme loadout threshold, Liu Yan had lost all his energy.

He had already waited so long; if he made Cai Ning change his equipment now, there was no telling how much longer he'd have to wait.

Liu Yan decisively clicked start.

After entering the game, their spawn point was at the Sector 2 Entrance.

As everyone knows, if you feel like no one in the world cares about you, try passing through the Sector 2 Entrance.

Liu Yan spoke at a very high speed:

"I'll swipe the card, you throw smoke, we go through immediately. Other positions won't have time to snipe us, don't waste time."

After swiping the card, Liu Yan looked back to see Cai Ning standing still.

"Where are you? Disconnected?"

"Not disconnected."

"I think I forgot to bring ammo. Do you have painkillers? Let me borrow one, I'll drop one back on the ground for you after I use it."

"Holy crap!!" Liu Yan cursed.

"Don't worry about that for now, just throw the smoke and get through the point first!"

"Oh, okay."

Ssss—!

After Cai Ning agreed, a smoke screen was released, but it hit the pipe directly and didn't cover the top of the catwalk.

Looking at this smoke, Liu Yan once again lost all his energy.

He forcibly restrained himself and said in a gentle tone:

"Brother, do this: first get up to here, and then, throw a small smoke grenade."

"Oh, okay."

After Cai Ning climbed up behind Liu Yan, a smoke grenade was accurately thrown into the gap of the catwalk and fell straight into the water.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yan laughed out of pure frustration.

To be honest, at that moment in Liu Yan's eyes, Cai Ning's figure completely merged with Roy's.

"Brother, tomorrow I'll take you to the Sunshine Neurology Hospital to see Dr. Zhao. He's a neurology expert."

"He can definitely cure your brain dead condition."

After the sarcasm, Liu Yan didn't bother saying anything else and just sprinted through the point.

Clatter, clatter—

During the process, Liu Yan frantically tapped the keyboard, performing the Human Emperor Steps to dodge!

Bang-bang-bang—!!

Pew—!!

Da-da-da-da—!!

Bullets from all directions grazed past Liu Yan, but none hit him. Finally, Liu Yan successfully passed the point.

But when he looked back, he saw Cai Ning had stopped halfway across the catwalk... he was looking down as if searching for something.

Seeing this, Liu Yan's eyes almost popped out.

"Big brother! What are you doing?!"

Cai Ning said in a somewhat panicked tone:

"Crap, I accidentally pressed the button to open my backpack just now, and then my mouse misclicked and I threw my gun out."

"Ah, here it is, finally found it."

After picking up his gun on the catwalk, Cai Ning prepared to run toward Liu Yan.

Bang—!!!

Instantly, a bullet hit the head of the Bee Doctor Operator Cai Ning was controlling.

After falling, Cai Ning didn't even have time to crawl before he was finished off.

After dying, Cai Ning's mouse was still clicking continuously.

On Liu Yan's end, he could constantly hear the 'ting-ting-ting' sound.

The dialogue box on the other side was also popping up with 'Help me' text.

Liu Yan rubbed his temples helplessly.

But in the end, Liu Yan didn't blame Cai Ning.

He couldn't help it; who else but his brother would he play with?

"Forget it, just watch some god-tier plays."

After Liu Yan finished speaking, he popped a painkiller, preparing to wipe the lobby.

"I didn't say anything when you guys shot at me passing the Sector 2 Entrance."

"But now that I've passed the Sector 2 Entrance, I hope you guys don't start crying."

...2 minutes later.

"It's no good, Liu Yan, we're getting old. These youngsters today are indeed amazing at games."

In the headset, Cai Ning let out a helpless sigh.

Liu Yan looked at the kill cam where the opponent had a zero-frame snap and hit every headshot; his entire face turned as red as a Jalapeno.

"What does this have to do with age? Can't you see that's a cheat?"

"One after another, you all like to turn them on, right? Fine."

Liu Yan took off his headset and shut down the computer directly.

Creak—

At the same time, Liang Chunhua pushed the door open and walked in again.

"Oh! Son, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"

Seeing Liu Yan's face, Liang Chunhua spoke with some concern.

"It's nothing, it's just hot in the room."

"I'm going out for a walk."

After saying that, Liu Yan walked out of the house.

After reaching the stairwell, Liu Yan's figure completely vanished... Aerospace Base.

The DMA Player who killed Liu Yan was currently looting Liu Yan's death box.

"Hilarious, still playing Solo Guard with this little skill?"

"The Client even chose a Bee Doctor, clearly an elementary student's ego phase."

"Exactly."

As the three were looting, a figure they had never seen before appeared out of thin air next to the death box on their screens.

That figure's face was flushed red, gritting his teeth as he looked at the three game characters in front of him.

"So you all like to turn them on that much, huh?"

"Come."

"Crank your parameters to the max for me."

"It just so happens I haven't turned mine on in a long time."

"Today I'll make an exception and play with you..."

...The End.
