Book 4: The Return of the King
Chapter 32
There was no extra word.
He started climbing.
The game system notified, one killed.
“Captain, I finished.” Demo scratched his head depressively.
……
Dt landed at about four-fifth of the height of the building. He quickly
climbed up floor by floor. He jumped up to the rooftop under the double
covers by 97 and Grunt.
It was one minute later than what Ai Qing had given them.
Two younger teammates were all out, but the opponents still had five
players intact.
The moment Dt landed, he switched to sniper rifle.
He shot without opening the sniper rifle scope and it only took 0.2 seconds.
The game system notified, one killed.
Following was out.
On the rooftop without any cover, 97 moved to stand in front of Dt. When
Dt shot again to shoot the head of Bug, 97 was shot fatally also.
The game system notified, one killed.
The game system notified, one killed.
……
It was only in a short ten seconds span between Dt’s two feet landed on
the rooftop until three people were taken out.
Slide moved up. Dt switched sniper rifle to long knife.
The two knives slammed each other making a loud clunk.
Dt’s physical strength naturally dropped 30% after losing 30% of health.
He could only barely manage to keep Slide at bay with the weight of the
long knife. Then he decisively drew the knife back and turned around to
avoid the short knife stabbing his chest.
At the moment when they were fighting each other, Inin and All approached
Grunt at the same time.
“Damn.” Grunt burst out cursing.
He was ranked at about the same level as Inin.
With the additional expert assist from All, Grunt was hit by two shots and
three knife cuts within less than 10 exchanges of fires.
The game system notified, one killed
……
Dt turned his hand calmly, the blade touched Slide’s arm and slid down.
Slide’s blood burst out instantly, his health and physical strength dropped
rapidly. Before Slide could evade, Dt already kicked him away.
“Excellent.” Xiao Mai knew that this match was really important to Ai Qing.
One side was her boyfriend while the other side was the team she led herself.
So he took the role of the major commentator himself. “Dt’s fighting skill is
getting even more brilliant compared with his performance in the Guangzhou
preliminary! In two short months! In just two short months, the difference is so
huge! The best player of this year must be Dt!”
All held the short knife with blood was still on his blade and rushed to take Slide’s
position without any delay.
Inin started the helicopter at the same time.
In the loud buzzing sound of the propeller, Dt’s one knee pressed on top of All.
He had already switched the long knife in his hand to a pistol and the dark pistol
was pointing to All’s forehead.
The helicopter lifted off.
Dt pulled the trigger and shot All’s head neatly.
The game system notified, one killed
……
It was quiet in the whole arena.
Though the players couldn’t hear any sound from outside, the audience still
used the silence to express their regret to this match.
It was too regretful.
If it wasn’t for this mission……
On the screen, Dt stood up beside All’s body and watched at the direction that
the helicopter flew away. He dropped the pistol and Slide stood up slowly behind
him, too……
If it wasn’t for this mission……
What would the result be?
Could Slide, Inin and All joined together to beat Dt who was the last person after
Grunt died?
If K&K’s Demo and One were changed to more powerful players……
What result would it be?
The screen froze to that scene.
The first national final tournament of <Secret Room Storm> was completed.
Slide took his hands off the keyboard and covered his face before camera for
the first time. As the captain of the champion team, he still couldn’t believe the
result. It wasn’t that he was lack of confidence, but it was…...too much pressure
that had finally led he to reveal his true self.
This championship…...all the pressures he had carried, it was tremendous.
Since he was a teenager, he had been in and out of this circle. He was reluctant
to give it up, he couldn’t let go of it, he still wanted to do it, he still wanted the honors,
and he still wanted the championship. Yes, he wanted what everybody else wanted.
He never mentioned to anybody about the unfair treatment he received in Germany.
When he was at that computer city manning his shop, he still envied those who played
professionally. After he returned to the professional world, he acted as if it was easy for
him. But as the captain, he bore the expectation from all friends, Ai Qing’s trust, Solo’s
consignment, and the expectation with suspicion from the management of SP-- --
All couldn’t really bear it, he took off his own team jacket to put over Slide’s face and
upper body.
He blocked the camera for Slide.
