Shi Xiaobai looked up and saw a person covered in a black trench coat standing about a kilometer away. The trench coat concealed his figure, and he wore a skull mask that concealed his face. From the looks of it, this was the system's way of concealing his identity.
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly at the person's mockery, but he did not say a word. He did not have the time or mood to prove that — he was actually a junior high school student.
"Are you ready?" The system's voice resounded in his mind.
"Yes!" Shi Xiaobai immediately answered.
A hot-blooded male system's voice immediately resounded from the sky above the arena, "Both parties are ready. The battle will begin in one minute. Both parties, please make your final preparations before the battle!"
The moment the voice faded, a countdown appeared in the sky, "59, 58, 57 …"
Shi Xiaobai was surprised. Just as he was thinking about what preparations he should make before the battle, he saw a firearm appear in the hands of the person in the trench coat. From the looks of it, it looked very similar to an AK47 assault rifle. However, it was gold and silver in color, making it look even cooler.
Since the person in the trench coat was named "OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation", it was only natural for him to use a firearm as a weapon. However, Shi Xiaobai found it somewhat odd. He had been in CS and CrossFire for many years, so he had a certain level of understanding towards firearms. To pursue a long-range headshot, it was reasonable to choose a long-range sniper rifle. As for the AK47, it was an assault rifle. Although it had high firepower, its range was relatively short. It was more suitable for close range shooting.
Could that gun be a sniper rifle in the guise of an assault rifle?
As Shi Xiaobai was feeling puzzled, he recalled that … he did not bring a weapon!
"Calling customer service. Where's This King's weapon!?" Shi Xiaobai muttered in his heart.
The system immediately answered, "Your armory does not have any weapons. You can purchase them in the World Merchant Shop. Do you wish to enter the World Merchant Shop?"
Shi Xiaobai answered matter-of-factly, "Enter."
The system carried on saying, "Sorry, entry failed. The system has detected that your in-game currency balance is zero. Do you wish to top up? "
Shi Xiaobai was not lacking in money, so he immediately said, "Top up."
The moment Shi Xiaobai said that, a row of icons appeared in front of him. Under the icons were names — "Pay Dad Pay", "Weimo Pay", "Bank Card Pay", "Penguin Pay" …
The system said, "Please select the method of topping up."
Shi Xiaobai: "…"
Of course, there was no such thing as cash payment in the virtual world. Shi Xiaobai could only say with a dry laugh, "Forget it. Every cell of This King is the strongest weapon. It's just a pity that I can't teach that foolish mortal the Lance of God."
Shi Xiaobai had wanted to headshot 'OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation', but from the looks of it, he no longer had the chance.
"No, This King is here to cultivate Crab Steps! I almost slacked off! "
Shi Xiaobai suddenly came to a realization. He was not here to play games. He had a lofty goal in his heart. He had great ideals and firm aspirations …
At this moment, the system's countdown sounded.
"Entering final countdown. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 — Battle begins!"
Shi Xiaobai's eyes focused as he immediately began using Crab Steps. He began repeatedly jumping around the boundaries of the arena, and with a diagonal movement, he began approaching OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation. Shi Xiaobai knew that against an enemy with a gun, the best combat method was obviously close combat, but how to close the distance was the crux of the matter!
Although Shi Xiaobai's Crab Steps was at the Grasped Basics Realm, his Psionic Ability control had reached the Familiarized Proficiency realm. He was able to grasp the timing of releasing Psionic Power while moving. Hence, although his Crab Steps did not look gorgeous, and even looked comical, his movement speed was extremely fast. After repeatedly jumping, his speed was much faster than an Olympic champion in the hundred meter race.
"This King does not believe that you can complete a headshot!"
Shi Xiaobai began circling a distance of five hundred meters from OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation. He was waiting for OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation to fire the first shot. Only by determining the gunner's range and power could he know what the true safe distance was.
In battle, Shi Xiaobai's eyes were cold and his thoughts were extremely calm. The way he circled OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation was extremely patient. As he repeatedly jumped, he gave off an unfathomable feeling. The way a crab moved left and right did not look easy to aim at.
"Heh heh, it's been a while since I've seen Crab Steps. I really miss it."
OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation held his gun vertically and placed it on his chest. With a leisurely look, he looked at Shi Xiaobai's rapidly moving figure. Suddenly, his eyes turned cold as he said coldly, "However, I can't bear to watch such trashy Crab Steps any longer!"
After OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation said that, he suddenly threw the gun in his arms up. The assault rifle that suffused a gold and silver luster spun in mid-air before slowly falling down.
"There's a chance!"
Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up. Seeing OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation throw his gun into the air, he was delighted and was about to run forward.
"No good!"
His heart suddenly felt a sense of danger. Shi Xiaobai stared with his eyes and came to a halt. He turned around and began repeatedly jumping to dodge. He knew that the bullet was coming!
At the same time, the spinning gun had already landed on OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation's chest. OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation quickly reached out his right hand to grab the spinning gun that was falling from mid-air. At the instant he stopped the gun, the gun's muzzle happened to be aimed at Shi Xiaobai, and his hand just happened to grab the trigger.
OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation's right hand stretched out as he turned his body slightly. His posture was extremely cool as a sneer suffused across his lips.
"Peng!"
At the instant he grabbed the gun, he did not make any adjustments and immediately pulled the trigger!
With the gunshot, a silver beam shot out. The bullet was as fast as lightning!
"Left or right?"
Shi Xiaobai's pupils constricted. The bullet was too fast, and the timing was perfect. His right foot had just stepped out and his left foot had just risen up, so there was no time to change directions. His body instantly stiffened at the instant he used Crab Steps!
The bullet that was shooting at him happened to come at the moment he stiffened!
The world in Shi Xiaobai's eyes seemed to be slowed down by dozens of times. The bullet was slowly shooting at him, but he could only watch helplessly as the bullet flew straight at his forehead. That instant was very short, but it felt extremely long!
His consciousness reacted with great difficulty, but his body could not keep up. There was no way he could dodge this shot!
The outcome had been decided the moment OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation pulled the trigger!
"Pu!"
Before Shi Xiaobai could suffuse a wry smile, he felt an intense pain coming from his forehead. Although the pain in the virtual world was only 40%, the pain from a bullet penetrating his head was enough to make Shi Xiaobai's consciousness blur.
"Health is at zero. Player is dead."
The system's cold voice resounded in his ears as Shi Xiaobai woke up. He did not know when his body had returned to the arena's preparation zone.
"The battle has ended. OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation wins. Time used: 15 seconds."
The deep voice in the air announced the outcome of the battle.
Shi Xiaobai was stunned.
He lost?
He lost just like that?
He was shot in the head just like that!?
