PUBG Online Romance of the Century

Chapter 11 - Not using cheat software. I agree, cheaters should die.

Edited by Divetus and Noks

After playing solos all day, Yu Yan’s mood finally eased a little. Although he didn’t eat chicken every match, he always managed to kill at least five people.

In the evening, Lu Xiuhe came online and urged him to play with him, and some stream followers immediately asked him to do a lottery.

As soon as he wanted to relax, a phone call came in. It was actually from Lu Xiuhe, who was in the game lobby.

Not knowing what trick the other party had up his sleeve, he hesitated for a bit before turning off his mic.

“What’s going on?”

“Yu Yan, don’t draw any stream followers today.” Lu Xiuhe said, “Xiao Rui and Climber are online. They just came to find me and said that they wanted to play with you.”

Xiao Rui and Climber were friends who used to play with Yu Yan at the Internet cafe. Later, they were admitted to an out-of-province university and he had gradually lost contact with them.

“Alright, get them to log in.”

Soon, all four avatars were live.

[What the hell, I’ve been watching this livestream all day, but in the end, he isn’t going to draw any stream followers? Waste of my time.]

[1. Leaving, boring.]

[Don’t want to watch, then scram. Why are you trying to make yourself known?]

Yu Yan turned a blind eye to the barrage.

They all said they would leave, but the number of viewers in the stream was increasing instead of decreasing. Also, he had learned his lesson yesterday. Although he did have better luck the last few times, as some of the stream followers he had drawn were very interesting, they were the minority. The majority of his followers were players who couldn’t keep up with his level but still wanted to be creative.

Yesterday, a stream follower had even come into the game lobby, and then directly turned on his mic to advertise his WeChat ID to sell counterfeit shoes…

“Xiao Yan, long time no see.” Xiao Rui said with a smile, “Someday when we’re free, we should all grab some food together.”

“Alright.” Yu Yan asked, “Which map should we play?”

“Just… Sanhok ba.”

Xiao Rui and Climber were both loyal players of shooting games. Although they couldn’t play as well as Yu Yan, they were much better at it than Lu Xiuhe.

The four people landed in Paradise Resort.

“I’ve left two people behind,” Climber said.

“There’s no one with me. There’s an AKM here, whoever wants it can come get it.” Yu Yan finished talking and then used the AKM in his hand to send the enemy in front of him flying.

“Nah,” Lu Xiuhe laughed at him, “Only you, an unlucky player, would view the AKM as a good gun. Unless it’s a 98k or M24, it’s not worth me going over there to get it.”

Yu Yan glanced at the map, estimated the distance between him and Lu Xiuhe in his head, and sneered. “It must be so hard for you to run 60 meters to get over here. I was asking Climber and Xiao Rui, if you take the AK… when you sweep, won’t you directly send yourself flying off into the heavens?”

The AKM gun had a large recoil, which was very shaky and wasn’t easy to push against. Players with lower skill levels would often fire a few dozen bullets and then have the gun’s muzzle fly up towards the sky.

Lu Xiuhe retorted, “Hey, whatever you want to say, can’t you say it nicely? Do you have to personally attack me?”

The whole area of Paradise Resort wasn’t big. Soon, the war subsided.

Yu Yan’s team had successfully survived.

[Anchor, turn off your cheat software ba. You’ve been streaming for so many days now, really not afraid of being exposed?]

“Cheat software? What cheat software?” Before Yu Yan could even say anything, Lu Xiuhe had opened his mouth, “I’m telling you guys&#k2026; I’m his bro in real life. Before he started livestreaming, he played games in my family’s Internet cafe. I stood behind him every day and watched him play with my own eyes; he’s really not running any software.”

[This is the Internet. Of course, whatever you say is true.]

“Why are you so unreasonable? Okay, if you don’t believe it, you can come to the Internet cafe and ask around yourself. Many of our Internet cafe acquaintances know him…”

“Xiuhe.” Yu Yan called out to him, “Don’t talk, I can’t hear footsteps.”

Lu Xiuhe could only obediently close his mouth, although his heart still nursed some grievances.

Yu Yan knew that Lu Xiuhe was being good to him, but he didn’t want to involve other people in the matters of the Internet. Besides, it was pointless to argue with these kinds of people. If they didn’t believe it, then they won’t believe it.

“Hey, did an airdrop just land?!” Xiao Rui exclaimed, and Yu Yan looked up. Sure enough, an airdrop box fell slowly from the sky, about 100 meters away.

Not grabbing an airdrop would make no sense. The four of them ran towards the drop point.

“Xiao Yan, let’s come to an agreement first ah.” Climber said, “Big pineapple, AWM for me.”

“No,” Yu Yan controlled his character to rush over. “It’s childish to divide toys, I want all of them.”

“？？？” Climber said, “Shit, I can’t believe you, your running speed is fine ba, why are you still collecting all the guns?!”

After filling all the gun slots, game characters would run a bit faster. The disadvantage was that they couldn’t immediately turn around and fight back when an enemy appeared. In Sanhok, unless people were escaping the poison circle, they would usually collect an inventory full of guns.

Yu Yan ignored him and selfishly ran to the airdrop to get the gun first. He looked at it, an airdropped AWM, PUBG’s number one sniper rifle. If he had to say how precious it was — this gun was exclusive to airdrops and only carried 20 rounds total. Unless you managed to gather AWM ammo from other airdrops, once your bullets ran out, it was just a decoration.

The AWM’s damage was off the charts. In the case that you got headshotted, even a level 3 helmet would have difficulty preserving your life. It was pretty much every player’s wish when they rushed to an airdrop.

He didn’t even think about it and directly discarded the 98k on his back.

Climber ran up to him and said, “Said I wanted the AWM.”

Yu Yan carried the AWM and loaded it. “Said I rejected that.”

Climber: “…”

There were only 12 people remaining. The next poison circle shrank, and then they were at the center.

Lu Xiuhe rubbed his hands together and said, “Very good. I feel like we can eat chicken this match.”

At this time, Xiao Rui suddenly said, “Xiao Yan, NE direction, green dot.”

Yu Yan raised a scope and looked through it, but he only saw tall trees and grass, and nothing else.

Since he was using an 8x scope, even if the other party hid well, as long as they were in the range of the scope, he would be able to detect them.

“Where?”

“Behind the tree.” Xiao Rui said and paused. “He just stuck his head out. You take aim at him, and he’ll come out in a moment.”

Yu Yan stared at the tree for nearly 20 seconds. At last, there was a little movement from behind the tree.

It was only a small smear of the edge of a level 3 helmet that was revealed at the lower right corner of the tree.

Yu Yan didn’t think too much about it. He immediately opened the scope and as soon as the enemy came out a little more, he shot him——

Bang—

His AWM didn’t have a silencer, so the sound it made was both heavy and loud.

[You knocked down XKTVXJGG with an AWM]

Another anchor?

At this time, the other party’s teammates quickly rushed over to support him. Yu Yan had no time to carefully think about it. He continued to keep the scope open to try and snipe the others.

“There are only two of them.” Xiao Rui continued, “Xiao Yan, can we kill this one as well?”

Bang!

The gunshot from a 98k sounded, and Climber took the lead to open fire. In his previous game, he had played as a sniper, so his marksmanship was very good. Last year, Yu Yan couldn’t beat him at sniping.

[RRRRRui1234 killed XJGGDXBB with a Kar98k]

“Done.”

Yu Yan let out a sigh of relief and casually glanced at the barrage widget at the top left of his screen. Only then did he notice that the number of lines on the on-screen barrage had reached an astonishing number. New lines kept appearing so fast that it was nearly impossible to read them.

[Hang yourself on the wall, anchor. Cheating software god, hang yourself off the city walls and apologize for your offense ba.]

[The banana army has slaughtered their way here. Anchor, talk, how do you want to die?]

[This is a new guy, not even showing his face yet. No wonder he dares to run cheat software. If he’s exposed, he’ll just turn off the stream and leave bei, just pat his ass and languidly leave.]

[Knife in hand, kill and leave the dog to hang.]

[banana had been hiding in the grass for three minutes, and you headshot him with one move? How did the anchor see it? Explain a bit bei?]

Upon seeing the word “banana”, Yu Yan reacted.

It seemed that the anchor, who he had just headshotted, was banana, the big chicken-eating anchor of StarTV.

He looked away and focused on the final round. “Not using cheat software. I agree, cheaters should die.”

[The last anchor who was so stubborn and reluctant to admit his mistakes has been banned by the platform.]

[Viewers not knowing what’s going on can go to banana’s stream. banana is now replaying it.]

[People who like this anchor should avail themselves and watch more today ba. Maybe tomorrow this livestream won’t exist anymore lolololol.]

After killing the last person, the winner screen popped up. Yu Yan didn’t even bother to look at it; he directly went back to the game lobby.

He looked up and saw that the stream viewer count was up to 30,000. The barrage was completely full of abuse. Looking over it, there wasn’t a single stream follower who helped him to explain things.

That was also normal. He’d only been streaming for a few days. It would actually have been strange if there had been die-hard loyal fans.

Hearing no sound from Yu Yan’s end, Lu Xiuhe said, “Yu Yan, don’t pay attention to them, keep playing bei…”

“You guys play first.” Yu Yan said, “I have to deal with something.”

Lu Xiuhe tried to stop him. “Hey, don’t……”

He knew Yu Yan wasn’t running a cheat software, but he also knew the position banana held in the eyes of PUBG players.

banana had started streaming as soon as PUBG had released. Even if he wasn’t called the #1 chicken-eating streamer, he definitely ranked in the top three.

When he had first seen the XKTVXJGG ID, he had already felt that it wasn’t going to be good. Sure enough, trouble arrived.

Even if banana didn’t speculate about Yu Yan running a cheat software out loud, a sneer would be enough to make Yu Yan’s livestream fall. So although he didn’t know exactly what was going on, he didn’t want Yu Yan to get into a dispute with banana.

Yu Yan turned a deaf ear to Lu Xiuhe’s words. In front of the tens of thousands of people in his stream, he directly clicked on banana’s stream.

The other side had just finished watching the replay, paused it, and said to the viewers by typing in the barrage, “Okay okay okay, we’ll watch again.”

After that, he reopened the game replay and moved it to the first two minutes when the two teams met.

Yu Yan stared at the other party’s avatar.

He just saw the game avatar running, walking to a tree, and then suddenly lying down.

“This is it. I went to the bathroom to take a leak… That anchor came to my stream? Come on ma, tell me what to do. Do you guys want me to shake his hand? Hahahaha.”

Yu Yan pursed his lips and continued to watch carefully.

The character had lain down behind the tree trunk for more than two minutes without moving.

He felt a twinge in his heart.

… At this angle, there was a house obscuring him. So, you really couldn’t see him unless you stood behind or were to the left of banana’s current position.

In addition, Yu Yan’s team’s position was at the top of the hill opposite of banana, a serious blindspot.

At this time, the game avatar slightly moved.

Bang— a gunshot, and the avatar was headshotted.

“Tch.”

After banana finished watching, he made a sound, which could mean anything, then turned off the playback. “OK, start the next match, don’t waste everyone’s time.”

Yu Yan closed the web page, lost in thought.

banana’s suspicion wasn’t unreasonable. Honestly, in the scene just now, if the person opposite the hill wasn’t himself, he would’ve also thought that the other person was using cheat software.

Of course, he wasn’t running any cheat software.

But, thinking back on the scene——

“Xiao Yan, NE direction, green dot.”

“Behind the tree.”

“He just stuck his head out. You take aim at him, and he’ll come out in a moment.”

“There are only two of them.”

Yu Yan frowned.

Was Xiao Rui… running a cheat software?
