63: Rich and inhumane——Xiao Linghun

Third District — Longbow Stream Valley.

Liu Yan simply put away Gao Tianyu's bullets and sniper rifle accessories, but didn't take any other equipment.

Earning extra money was secondary in this competition.

If he became weighed down by armor and helmets, leading to an inability to run, and thus failed to get first place, missing out on the quantum storage, that would be a huge loss.

In this round, Liu Yan's spawn point was in a tent next to the Trade Bridge, which was below Amiya Town.

"It really is at the Trade Bridge," Liu Yan sighed helplessly.

Due to the hints and taunts from some people at the start of the game, many would inevitably flock to the Trade Bridge in this round.

Liu Yan's position was undoubtedly caught in the middle.

Among the recent gunshots, two were from the spawn point behind Amiya Town and the spawn point on the side of Blue Port.

Liu Yan originally intended to enter the Diamond Queen Hotel and set up an ambush from there on the slope leading to this area, as well as the high tower on the other side.

However, that would severely limit his vision, though it would ensure a good survival ranking, the kill ranking would undoubtedly drop significantly.

Survival ensures the lower limit, while kills increase the upper limit.

Undoubtedly, for Liu Yan, he would naturally choose to increase the upper limit.

Liu Yan quickly rushed to the slope and, before others arrived, found two Asala Guard Soldiers.

As he approached, the Asala Soldiers instantly turned around, raising their guns to fire.

Fortunately, Liu Yan was already prepared. He held up a bust high from his backpack and shouted:

"wuxidixi!"

As a golden light flashed from the bust, the two Soldiers' dull, mechanical eyes showed expressions just like normal people.

"For Asara... For Liu Yan!"

"We swear to follow Liu Yan to the death!"

"Please command us as you wish."

Looking at the two Asala Soldiers in front of him, Liu Yan was slightly stunned; this was an outcome Liu Yan had not expected.

He had originally thought it would be like other online games, where the AI would switch to his faction.

But it seemed the bust's function was not that simple.

Instead, it imbued the Asala Soldiers, who were originally like walking corpses, with self-awareness.

Liu Yan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he tentatively asked:

"What are your names?"

"My name is Liu Yans Guard Soldier 1."

"My name is Liu Yan's Guard Soldier 2."

Liu Yan blinked; these names were certainly easy to remember.

"1 and 2, you two come with me. Later, you two will do this..."

Liu Yan and the two Soldiers hid in the tent and began to quietly conspire.

After giving instructions, the two Soldiers left the tent separately and ran in different directions.

Players in Amiya Town and players in the Fence Tower both saw these two Soldiers, but neither opened fire.

When sniping, if the AI wasn't close to them, generally no one would shoot.

That would greatly increase the risk of exposing themselves.

Thump, thump, thump —

A faint sound of climbing metal entered Liu Yan's ears.

Amiya Town High Tower!

"Hehe, you guys can just brawl at the Trade Bridge. I'll climb up here, kill one, then retreat to your blind spot. At worst, I can still get into the top ten!"

At this moment, a player was smugly climbing up the high tower.

Pew — — — —!!

A bullet hit the wall near him.

"No way, someone already set up so fast?"

The player quickly lay prone on the high platform.

The direction of the bullet just now was from the Fence Tower.

"Since you didn't hit me, I'm going to hit you."

After lying down, based on the bullet's angle, he immediately set up his SV-98.

Soon, in the sniper scope, he saw the player behind the fence.

The opponent was also aiming at him, slightly adjusting their angle.

"The trajectory is to the left. Thank you for finding the wind direction for me."

The player on the high tower sneered, aiming the crosshairs of his scope to the left of the opponent's head.

Since the two were opposite each other, if his shot was veering left, the wind must be coming from the direction of the abandoned village.

He only needed to aim left, and the bullet would precisely headshot due to the wind direction.

"Goodbye~"

Bang — — — — —!!!!

In the sniper scope, the player behind the fence was headshotted, precisely between the eyebrows!

"What's going on??"

The enemy on the high tower was stunned; he hadn't even fired yet! Who the hell stole his kill?

Hearing that the gunshot just now was below him, he immediately turned around, lowered the magnification of his scope, and aimed downwards.

Bang — — — —!!!

"Three now."

Liu Yan watched the corpse fall from the high tower and unhurriedly changed his magazine.

"As long as I can maintain this rhythm, I can turn being passively flanked into an active ambush."

Liu Yan's idea was simple: in this round, at this position, for every person who comes, he would kill them.

The simplest, most dangerous, and most arrogant choice.

But also the choice that could kill the most people.

Taking advantage of no one being nearby, Liu Yan put on the Explosive Auxiliary Spine and power propulsion device.

For the rest of the time, Liu Yan stayed here, and anyone who entered within a hundred meters was, without exception, headshotted.

Three minutes passed, and Liu Yan had already gotten 6 kills.

Unlike Liu Yan's fast-paced, intense match, Xiao Soul, who had respawned at the Galbi Ruins, was still in place and hadn't set off.

Students watching the competition in various school conference halls, as well as various operatives who had bought tickets outside the venue, couldn't help but complain when they saw Xiao Soul.

"How long has it been? He still hasn't finished equipping?"

"Exactly, people over there have been fighting for a long time, how many have died, and he's still opening mandel bricks?"

"Mercilessly rich... The Royal Noble Academy sent him out. It's not about who's strong, it's about who's rich, right?"

At this moment, in the screen, Xiao Soul, wearing six sets of gear, had a power propulsion device similar to Liu Yan's hanging from his waist and Red Wolf's Powered Exoskeleton on his legs.

And that wasn't all; Red Wolf's hand cannon, Bee Doctor's healing gun and smoke, Ururu's loitering munition, Deep Blue's shield, Nameless's jammer, Zoya's "Firefly" swarm system, Luna's compound bow, Hackclaw's decoder, Old Black's sonic drone.

Except for Sister Zhang, no, except for Swift Wind's Explosive Auxiliary Spine, almost all the operators' equipment appeared on Xiao Soul.

"Phew — I'm exhausted."

After putting on the equipment from the mandel brick, Xiao Soul wiped the sweat from his forehead under his helmet and opened his Swallowing Heaven Pack.

The moment the backpack opened, everyone watching outside was stunned.

The special items inside could only be described as a dazzling array... It should be noted that bringing these special items didn't mean his family only had these; rather, the backpack was only so big.

"Ah, why can't quantum storage be bought!"

Xiao Soul stood up helplessly and sighed, looking at the special items crammed into his bag, troubled.

Sometimes, having too many things isn't a good thing.
