Chapter 62 A sharp-tongued female e-sports streamer mocked me, and I got slammed by a rural mud-legg
Lin Xian, wearing flip-flops, crunched through the snow and slowly strolled into the e-sports room in the corner of the ecological dome.
Mu Xiaotian gripped the mouse tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning bluish-white, her chest heaving with heavy breathing.
On the holographic screen, the game character she was controlling was dying tragically under the enemy's defensive tower, and the screen turned gray.
In the lower right corner of the screen hangs a live stream window with millions of followers, where a heavily made-up female streamer is sneering into the microphone.
"I thought he was some kind of street legend, but after checking his IP, it turned out he was just a country bumpkin hiding in a poor mountain village like Qingshui County."
"Today I'm going to expose you bunch of country bumpkins to your true colors. From now on, if you see my ID, you'd better just unplug the internet cable."
This woman, relying on her boyfriend being the captain of a top professional esports team in the country, brought four of her starting players to play a five-player sniping match.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments, all from a bunch of brainless fans making a fuss and mocking the streamer.
"Sister Bee is awesome! She'll teach these country bumpkins how to play games!"
"With four professional players against a mere internet cafe girl, I'm guaranteed to win this game."
Lin Xian looked at the glaring words and yawned, feeling a bit weary.
He hates it when people bring up Qingshui County, especially when they're making trouble in this paradise where even he sleeps until he naturally wakes up.
Lin Xian patted Mu Xiaotian on the shoulder, signaling her to give up her seat in the gaming chair.
"Since she likes to call us peasants, let's show her what real rural special forces are like today."
He took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket and pressed the dedicated communication channel of the gatehouse.
"Zhou Bapi, bring four brothers who know how to use computers into the dome. We've got some work to do."
Less than two minutes later, Zhou Bapi led four henchmen dressed in security guard uniforms, rubbing their hands to keep warm, into the e-sports room.
These security guards usually only catch chicken thieves at the village entrance. Looking at the room full of glowing quantum peripherals, they don't even know where to put their hands.
Zhou Bapi swallowed hard, his legs feeling weak as he looked at the complex game interface on the screen.
"Boss Lin, it's fine if you want us to chop people up and collect protection money, but this delicate work of typing on a keyboard is something our rough hands just can't handle."
Lin Xian ignored him, opened the system shop in mid-air, and tapped the virtual panel twice with his finger.
Five shimmering, cyberpunk-style silver-gray metal helmets appeared out of thin air on the table.
"Put this on. When you get into the game, you don't need to worry about anything. Just focus on how to beat people up."
This is a quantum neural assist helmet produced by the system, which can directly transform human subconsciousness into perfect game micro-operation code.
With some skepticism, Zhou Bapi put the helmet on his shiny bald head, and his four henchmen quickly followed suit.
They sat in the ergonomic chairs like Mu Xiaotian, their hands resting lightly on the virtual keyboard.
The game restarted, and the female streamer on the opposing team, nicknamed "Poison Tongue Bee," typed a series of sarcastic emojis in the public chat.
"Oh, so you even brought four henchmen to their deaths. Are these country bumpkins having a team-building event?"
The four professional players around her didn't even stay behind the turrets, and directly controlled their characters to swagger towards the middle lane.
In their eyes, they could defeat a few ordinary passersby in Qingshui County with their eyes closed and by simply stepping on a keyboard.
Zhou Bapi took a deep breath, recalling the ruthlessness he used to display when fighting for territory on the streets, and stared intently at the enemy on the screen.
The quantum sensor on the helmet instantly lit up with a ghostly blue light, taking over the neuronal signals of the security guards.
In the game, the default system character, which originally looked clumsy and slow, suddenly seemed to have been given a new soul.
Zhou Bapi's character used a Z-shaped dodge that defied the physics engine to directly evade the opponent's professional mid-laner's fatal skill.
Immediately afterwards, the virtual weapon in his hand turned into a blur, launching the professional player into the air at a frame rate that no human could possibly achieve.
The four security guards next to him also rushed up, their various skills linked together seamlessly, even creating particle effects.
Even if a world champion team came, seeing this quantum-level coordination accurate to the millisecond, they would have to kneel down and call them ancestors.
Less than two minutes into the game, the four professional players on the opposing team, along with the female streamer, all lay dead in the bushes in the mid lane.
The chat in Poison Tongue Bee's live stream was instantly cleared, leaving tens of millions of netizens stunned by this godlike maneuver.
The professional captain, who had just been boasting about getting a pentakill, stared at the black and white screen, and the mouse in his hand fell to the table with a thud.
"This is impossible! Even a supercomputer couldn't calculate that kind of movement. They're definitely cheating!"
Lin Xian leaned against the gaming chair, biting into a strawberry popsicle, his eyes full of mockery.
The report button can be pressed at will. The data stream is encrypted by quantum AI, so even if the game company's servers are exposed, not a single piece of cheat code can be found.
For the next ten minutes, this highly anticipated match turned into a brutal one-sided massacre.
Zhou Bapi and his security team didn't even bother farming the minions; they went straight over the turrets and charged into the enemy's fountain.
The Poison Tongue Bee character had barely stood up after being resurrected when he was instantly killed by a colorful array of skills, turning him into a corpse.
Once, ten times, fifty times.
The system's kill notification echoed throughout the game, sending chills down the spines of viewers in the live stream.
The four top professional players were so badly defeated that their mentality collapsed, their hands left the keyboard, and they didn't even manage to touch the high ground in the fountain.
A full hundred kills, yet the opponent's stats panel displayed a glaring and humiliating zero.
In the esports world, this is known as the ultimate insult, called "shaving your head," meaning your professional career is nailed to the pillar of shame.
As the characters on the screen fell one after another, the venomous bee's exquisitely made-up face became completely distorted and deformed.
She paused for a moment, the scalding coffee spilling onto the table without being wiped away, dripping down the edge onto her expensive dress.
The tide of comments in the live stream instantly turned, with everyone mocking her and that so-called professional team.
"Is this what you call a professional player? Getting ganked like a pig in the fountain by a few noob IPs, you might as well go work in a factory fixing screws!"
"Sister Bee's shaved head is really shiny. From now on, don't call her Poison Tongue Bee, call her Bald Qiang instead."
Completely devastated, the sharp-tongued bee burst into tears, her hands trembling as she forcefully unplugged the computer's power cord.
This highly anticipated sniping battle ended in a disastrous defeat for the female streamer, who had to uninstall the game overnight.
Mu Xiaotian hugged Lin Xian's arm and jumped around happily on the soft carpet, laughing until tears streamed down her face.
Zhou Bapi took off his quantum helmet, touched his bald head, and smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction, clearly not yet having had enough of killing.
"Brother Lin, typing on a keyboard to kill people is so much more satisfying than wielding a machete. I feel like I could win a championship in the World Championship right now."
Just as the e-sports room was filled with a joyful atmosphere, Zhou Bapi's walkie-talkie suddenly emitted a rapid crackling sound.
The security guard on duty sounded visibly flustered; he could barely speak, and you could hear his teeth chattering even through the microphone.
"Brother Zhou, bring your men to the village entrance immediately! Something terrible has happened!"
"There's a bald guy with a scar on his face who was just released from the police station. He's standing at the boundary marker, cursing and swearing, with a rusty watermelon knife in his hand."
"He's yelling that he hasn't been back for ten years and wants every single person in the village to pay him protection money!"
