497: I'm eating while the whole thing is in full swing

[Destiny Skill activated! Detecting available targets for you...]

[A total of 17 people detected in this match: 2 friendly targets, 15 hostile targets.]

[The minimap radar has been displayed for you. Lock your gaze onto an Operator's avatar to enter their first-person perspective.]

"Oh? The system has evolved again?"

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Xiao Yun was immediately surprised.

After all, the previous Destiny Skill could only observe from above others' heads, which was the third-person perspective.

But now, after Xiao Yun activated the Destiny Skill, he saw that besides being able to observe from a god's-eye view as before, he could also enter the target's first-person perspective for observation.

Furthermore, a minimap radar, similar to a cheating panel, appeared directly before Xiao Yun's eyes.

Now, Xiao Yun only needed to look at this minimap panel to see the information of all the Operators on the map.

[Hint: After upgrading the family heirloom, some system functions and store skills will unlock higher-level abilities. Please explore the specific content yourself.]

"Well, I'll be. Upgrading the family heirloom to max level actually unlocks features like this!"

Xiao Yun was quite surprised by the system's prompt.

If that was the case, continuously unlocking the family heirloom and upgrading it to the max level seemed to be the main quest for his [Hatcheting Emperor System].

Just like a main quest in a game, following the mission allows him to level up and unlock more powerful abilities.

Except that what was leveling up was the system, not him personally.

After all, if Xiao Yun wanted to upgrade himself, he wouldn't need to go through all that trouble.

"However, this current Destiny Skill feels more and more like cheating."

Looking at the minimap radar displayed by the enhanced Destiny Skill, Xiao Yun felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.

Because aside from not displaying a resource radar, the rest of the information on this minimap radar was virtually indistinguishable from cheats in games from his previous life.

Not only could he see the locations of other squads, but he could even see the names of the other Operators and the gear they were wearing.

Information that Xiao Yun previously needed to constantly switch perspectives to obtain could now be gathered completely with just a glance at the minimap.

*Screech—*

Just a few seconds after Xiao Yun started checking the minimap, he heard the magnetic door in front of him suddenly open.

Xiao Yun closed the minimap and saw that Liu Shihhan had already started moving.

"What are you doing?"

"What else? Hurry up and grab a few things here. First check the oil spawn point, then the heart spawn point, then go to the top floor for the safe, and then carefully search the surrounding areas depending on the situation."

"You're already this proficient?"

Xiao Yun was slightly surprised.

Because when spawning in the Central Control Building, what Liu Shihhan had just described was the optimal strategy for hatcheting, avoiding combat, and collecting resources.

"Of course. When I came to Confidential Aerospace during the assessment, wasn't this exactly what you taught me?"

Liu Shihhan looked matter-of-fact as she immediately began executing the plan.

"Alright, alright, you go ahead and do your thing. Leave this spot to me. Even without Lu Xueqing, my luck can't guarantee a big red, but getting a little red or something similar shouldn't be a problem."

Saying this, Liu Shihhan followed the route she had just described and searched along the way.

Watching her actions, Xiao Yun felt a sense of relief and satisfaction.

He hadn't expected Liu Shihhan to grasp everything he taught her instantly.

If it were an ordinary person, they might not even familiarize themselves with the map after ten runs in Aerospace, let alone memorize the fixed routes for every spawn point.

Ten runs might even be an understatement. An ordinary person who can clearly recognize the Aerospace Base map within fifty runs is already considered outstanding, and there are countless people who are still dizzy and disoriented after a hundred runs in Aerospace.

After all, ordinary people in this world are truly just ordinary people once they enter the restricted zone.

They lack the special skills of the Special Operations Operators in games, they don't have the superhuman stamina of GTI Supermen, and they don't even have a minimap function.

Otherwise, after more than a hundred years of development in this world, the probability of someone being able to consistently earn money in the restricted zone wouldn't still be one in ten thousand.

"Wait... what are the Yuan Tong people trying to do?"

With no time for reflection, Xiao Yun glanced at the minimap and saw that the squad that spawned at Yuan Tong wasn't swiping their cards to pass through; instead, they were running directly toward the Prison Boss Sandy Area.

This squad had average gear; all three were wearing Tier 4 sets, and their weapons were one Tenglong and two M4s. They looked like blue/green semi-modified weapons, but they were still using level 4 bullets.

In games from his previous life, this kind of squad was no different from hatcheting rats; Tier 4 sets with level 4 bullets were basically the standard elite uniform, and entering Confidential Aerospace meant they would be instantly killed by a single kick.

However, in the Confidential Aerospace of this world, this was considered relatively standard equipment.

After all, most Operators in this world were focused on making money, and nobody could afford to run six sets or Tier 5 set every match.

To put it harshly, they couldn't afford it; to put it nicely, they weren't engaging in excessive competition.

After all, if everyone was using Tier 4 sets and level 4 bullets, it was essentially the same as everyone using Tier 5 sets and Tier 5 bullets.

In other words, this squad with Tier 4 sets and semi-modified weapons, which would be considered roadside fodder in games from his past life, was already categorized as a fully geared squad in the Confidential Aerospace of this world!

Having clarified this point, Xiao Yun quickly deduced the squad's intention for going to the Sandy Area.

"They are trying to ambush the people who spawned at Prison Boss!"

Sure enough, as they were about to reach the exterior partitions of the Sandy Area, the three men simultaneously slowed their pace, preventing the people who spawned at Prison Boss from hearing them.

Coincidentally, two squads spawned in the Prison Area spawn points this match: one was quietly lying prone at Jail Three, and the other was currently approaching the Sandy Area from the Prison Boss location!

Seeing this information, Xiao Yun wasn't in a hurry to act; he decided to let them fight first and then assess the situation.

"Let's check the situation on the other side."

Saying this, Xiao Yun turned his head to look in the direction of the Dormitory Area.

He saw that two squads had also spawned near the Dormitory Area this match: one at the West District Gate spawn point, and the other at the fixed Dormitory spawn location.

Like the Yuan Tong squad, these two squads were also running Tier 4 sets, but their weapons were slightly better modified, mostly fully modified guns worth five or six hundred thousand.

What surprised Xiao Yun was that the squad that spawned at the West District Gate wasn't thinking about swiping their card to enter the Core Area; instead, they immediately launched an attack toward the Dormitory building!

"This is going to be a bloodbath!"

Looking at the information unfolding on the map, Xiao Yun felt a touch of schadenfreude.

It was known that the Confidential Aerospace Base in this world, just like the matches in his previous life's game, only allowed six squads per match, with no other squads able to join mid-game.

So the question was, the Prison Boss and Yuan Tong squads were about to fight, the two squads in the Dormitory Area were about to meet, and the remaining squad was lying prone at Jail Three.

Then, counting Xiao Yun and Liu Shihhan's two-person squad, how many squads were left in the Core Area?

The answer was obvious: this match was their easy win!

Whether they chose to enter the Core Area and loot freely or wait in the Central Control Building to intercept the last squad, this match, without exception, gave Xiao Yun's squad, who spawned in the Central Control Building, a complete advantage!

The current question was whether Xiao Yun wanted to kill people or enter the Core Area for easy looting.

"In a match like this, I feel like I could easily slaughter everyone even without using the heaven-defying skills unlocked in the system store!"

Watching the four squads on two sides about to clash on the minimap, the corner of Xiao Yun's mouth curled up slightly.

If he had a fully modified M7, Xiao Yun wouldn't even need the second-stage teleportation of the Destiny Skill; he would just grab his gun and go intervene in the fight directly.

However... the current problem was that both Xiao Yun and Liu Shihhan had entered this match carrying only two big red envelopes!

"I'll spare your lives for now."

Xiao Yun sighed, deciding to let them fight first.

Now that he had money, Xiao Yun's mindset was different from when he first started.

When he first arrived at the Confidential difficulty, he would have focused on making money however possible, kicking anyone he met and taking all their gear.

But now, the semi-modified guns and Tier 4 sets these people carried held little value for Xiao Yun.

Instead, he was thinking that it wasn't easy for others to work hard every day to earn money in the restricted zone.

As a bug-level existence himself, it was better to leave others a path to survival.

Of course, this excluded situations where someone found high-value items.

If someone on the field managed to find a big red worth over a million, Xiao Yun would still find a way to become a bloodhound and eliminate them.

However, such situations were rare. In the nearly thousand matches Xiao Yun had participated in so far, there had been fewer than ten instances where someone else had found a big red in the restricted zone.

Moreover, four squads besides his own were about to start fighting, and the squad lying prone at Jail Three would likely go to intervene later.

Who got to loot the resources on the map, and who didn't—wasn't that all up to Xiao Yun?

Thinking this, Xiao Yun quickly entered the Central Control Building and followed Liu Shihhan's footsteps up to the third floor.

"Shihan, let's go!"

"Ah!"

Liu Shihhan was currently squatting in front of the large safe, meticulously unlocking it using the password Xiao Yun had previously given her.

When Xiao Yun suddenly called out, she was startled.

"Xiao Yun, why are you making such a fuss!"

"Sorry, sorry. It's just that there's an excellent opportunity right in front of us, and I got a little excited."

Xiao Yun smiled faintly and apologized.

*Bang bang bang bang bang—!*

Just then, a burst of intense gunfire erupted from the nearby Sandy Area.

Clearly, the Yuan Tong squad and the Prison Boss squad had started fighting!

"What's going on? Why is someone fighting right next to us at the start of the match!"

"That's the opportunity I was talking about."

Xiao Yun smiled faintly and then explained.

"In this match, the Prison Area and the Dormitory Area are fighting. There's no one in the Core Area. If the two of us go in, we can probably loot the entire Core Area clean. Come on, let's go! Let's go into the Core Area and feast!"

"Wait, I haven't opened the large safe yet!"

Liu Shihhan felt a surge of joy upon hearing Xiao Yun's description. Such a good thing was actually happening?

However, she had just finished entering the large safe's password and was about to open it, so she planned to finish opening the safe before going into the Core Area with Xiao Yun.

But when she slightly opened the large safe, the resources inside made her heart sink.

"Why is there only one bull horn! I shouldn't have bothered opening it!"

Saying this, she quickly stood up and ran to Xiao Yun's side.

"Let's go, let's go! Let's go into the Core Area and feast!"
