Yan Xiu logged into his own account. OLG-Danger sent a team invite.
In the Hazard Operations mode, a squad had three people. Bai Wei turned off the “Fill Squad” option, leaving only him and Yan Xiu in the room.
“Wait for me to start the stream.”
Yan Xiu glanced at him. “Okay.”
After waiting three minutes, Bai Wei queued up. Five seconds later, they entered a game.
“You’re playing the medic, God D?” Yan Xiu asked in surprise, hardly believing his eyes. Bai Wei had already confirmed his selection.
Bai Wei said, as if it were the most natural thing. “The medic got a new skin.”
Yan Xiu: “You want to play the skin?”
Only then did Bai Wei notice. “You’re using Luna’s default skin?”
Yan Xiu: “…I don’t really buy skins.”
Bai Wei recalled the painstakingly written IOU and his gaze darkened. “I’ll gift you one when we’re out.”
The game started the deployment countdown. Bai Wei glanced at the chat flooding his stream.
The comments were scrolling insanely fast. Just as Bai Wei started streaming, the live viewer count hit 30,000. Two minutes later, as fans received the stream notification, it immediately surged past 100,000+.
Gift effects exploded on his secondary monitor. Bai Wei initially thanked a few high-value gifts, but quickly looked away and stated flatly, “Gonna play now. Stop sending.”
Yet the stream’s effects scrolled even faster.
【DDDDDDDDD!!!】
【Grandma, your favorite pro player is streaming!!!】
【Finally live, hubby ahhhhh come quickly and f my PG!!!】
【God D God D God D God D!!!】
【CEO Bai, can you turn on your camera wuwuwu qwq】
【Who’s God D duoing with, playing Luna? Is it Qingbao?】
【Onlyshow. Could it be the new sub, OLG-Show??】
The match began. Both spawned in Prison Block 3.
Prison Block 3, meaning Industrial Zone Spawn 3, also Prison Area Spawn 3.
Yan Xiu: “Bridge isn’t blown this round. No drawbridge card for the East Sector opening. Should we go Prison Block 2?”
Bai Wei: “I’m the medic. I’ll follow your lead.”
Yan Xiu often served as IGL, but this time he was commanding Danger. It felt odd to him. He also remembered. “No need to gift me a skin, God D. Not necessary.”
Delta Force operator skins offered no stat bonuses, except for red-quality operator skins, which hid the quality of your gear. A red skin crate had a pity around over a thousand yuan. Without a red skin, enemies could see what level your helmet and armor were; with one, they couldn’t see the armor level.
But for fairness in competition, some operators hadn’t gotten red skins yet. The rules required all players to use default skins.
【This voice sounds so nice, the new sub?!】
【The Autumn Split hasn’t started yet, the sub hasn’t changed his name, no pro badge yet. Is this onlyshow?】
【Eargasm. What does the new sub look like? Have they taken the roster photos for the new season?】
【Ten years of online dating experience says this kinda youthful, clean voice belongs to a 250-kilo fat pig. Fat pressing on the vocal cords, super ugly with BO, disgusting.】
Bai Wei narrowed his eyes.
Yan Xiu had just reached Staff Passage 2 and noticed the medic wasn’t moving. He looked back. The medic, in his new red skin, stood in the middle of the road.
“What’s wrong, God D?”
Bai Wei casually kicked the no-badge random out of his stream and returned to the game. “Nothing.”
Spawning in Prison Block 3, they entered the Core Area. A round of gunfire had already erupted inside.
Passing through the pipe at Staff Passage 2, Yan Xiu cleared angles with two electric arrows. Confirming no ambush, he walked up the ramp to the Blue Room door. Yan Xiu turned, opened the door, and fired a recon arrow at the servers.
Yan Xiu: “Clear. They didn’t go through the Blue Room at Staff Passage 2. Should we eat first?”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
A burst of gunfire sounded overhead in the CEO Office. Bai Wei: “You grab the free safe first. After we eat, we third-party.”
Yan Xiu froze.
For over a year as a companion, the free safe was always left for the boss. His job was just to hold angles for the boss, preventing rats from ambushing.
“Show?”
“…Alright.”
Yan Xiu went to the Blue Room to loot the safe. An epic-quality bull horn came out. He didn’t take it, going with Bai Wei into the CEO Office instead.
By the time they reached the fourth floor of the Dark Room, the gunfire in the CEO Office had stopped for half a minute. Arriving at the corridor entrance, Yan Xiu fired an electric arrow down the hall. A second later, Vyron’s damage voice line sounded; his red silhouette was also revealed by the arrow.
With Bai Wei, the DFL’s number one sniper, present, Yan Xiu asked first, “Should I take a sniper duel, God D?”
“Okay.”
Yan Xiu’s expression hardened, focusing intently on his monitor. He first turned to jiggle peek, confirming no one was directly holding the angle after they’d dodged the arrow he’d just shot. Only then did he switch to his M700 and carefully set up the sniper shot.
Three seconds later.
A figure flickered rapidly through his scope.
“Bang!”
[Onlyshow eliminated Dancing Esports-Wang Gua with M700]
“Good shot.”
After speaking, Bai Wei glanced at the stream chat on his secondary monitor.
【So fast! From God D’s POV, I didn’t even see anyone!】
【This sub’s got skills. Was he a streamer before? M700 one-tap headshot. The enemy peeked so fast and he still got sniped.】
【I know Wang Gua from Dancing Esports. He’s a demon-level escort carry. 200 an hour.】
Yan Xiu also said, “It’s an escort carry from Dancing Esports. Vyron’s dead. Should be a Luna and a medic left.”
The exact same composition.
Yan Xiu playing solo vs trios as Luna could already 1v3. Now with Bai Wei, it was even easier.
After a few waves of utility trades, the two seized the timing when the enemy Luna had no utility left and directly jump-peeked out.
Each took one target. Yan Xiu aimbotted the medic boss. The boss wasn’t even wearing helmet or armor, purely there to loot and eat; gold ammo one-tapped him instantly. The Luna Bai Wei fought was an escort carry wearing level-six armor.
Bai Wei landed three headshots in a row. The Luna only got one shot off before turning into a box.
【That Luna’s probably questioning life!】
【Luna: Am I wearing paper?】
【Luna: Mid-air, three-tap headshot, and you’re telling me this isn’t aimbot? Oh, it’s OLG-Danger. Never mind then.】
【So, is this OLG-Show or not?】
Bai Wei replied to the chat. “It’s him.”
Yan Xiu: “What?”
“Answering a message. Someone asked if it’s you.”
Bai Wei never replied to chat while playing. In the downtime between games, he’d only briefly thank a few gifts. The stream chat went wild again.
【God D replied to me ah ah ah!!!】
【He replied to me!!】
【Onlyshow, such an arrogant name. Hope his performance in the Autumn Split is just as arrogant.】
【Might not even play. Little Gun never had a single match.】
【The Wolves recruited a strong player. Good shot at the Autumn Split championship.】
【Can OLG win?】
【Game 5 of the Spring Split finals, Danger really burned out. Took on two squads back-to-back. The second squad, he 1v3 countered and killed them all. Apart from Danger, who in the entire DFL can do that?】
【Rumour says Little Gun’s trial results at Chaoge were great. He’ll also play in the Autumn Split.】
【OLG will definitely win!!】
【OLG, Onlyshow. The new sub’s name seems like a pure team-fan type, hahaha】
【Only love gaming… onlyshow!】
…
After wiping the squad, the two slowly looted bodies. Feeling guilty, Yan Xiu stole a glance at Bai Wei, then quietly opened TikTok on his phone. From his following list, he went into Bai Wei’s stream.
The stream was full of gift effects. After turning them off, he could see the scrolling chat.
【ZMJ’s been grinding Bakesh tirelessly during the break, already given up on the Aerospace map.】
【Master of Aerospace, the sternest loving father of Havoc, the favorite lover of the Old Lady, the sole master of the CEO Office… God of Aerospace Force, OLG-Danger: Why give up on Aerospace? Is it because you dislike it?】
【Hahahaha, entering Aerospace, getting points off Danger makes you this [thumb up]. If Danger lets you get points off him, he’s this [thumb down]】
【Show’s voice is so nice. Is he really fat?】
【Qingbao’s not skinny, and his voice isn’t good either.】
【Why only God D and the new sub duoing? Where’s Qingbao? Where’s Rose?】
Yan Xiu paused. How did they mention him?
Bai Wei finished looting and counted the number of guns in the bag.
Normally, Aerospace had 18 players, 6 squads. Each person brought a gun in, so there should be 15 guns outside.
“They killed two squads. The medic didn’t bring a gun in. Two squads left.”
Yan Xiu suddenly said, delighted, “God D, jackpot!”
Before Bai Wei could react, Yan Xiu came over holding a tank model. Over the KOOK voice chat, the nice, youthful voice that was spammed by chat could barely contain his excitement. “From Shield Bro’s bag.” He tossed the tank onto the ground, gesturing for Bai Wei to pick it up.
But Bai Wei asked, “For me?”
“Yeah.”
Bai Wei stared at the game character on screen, paused, then asked again, “For me?”
Yan Xiu’s voice was soft, and he was very happy. “Yeah, put it in your secure container.”
Bai Wei seriously looked at the tank model on the ground a few times, reached out, and tucked it into his secure container. Only after taking the item did he ask again, “You opened it. Why give it to me?”
Yan Xiu froze with a snap.
He’d done companion work for too long. Safes were all for the boss to open; crates were all for the boss to loot; after the fight, he’d organize the boss’s backpack. All the dirty and tiring work he did, and only at the end could he eat the boss’s leftovers.
A strange feeling rose in his heart. Yan Xiu explained, “You’re playing the medic. My first instinct was to give everything to you… gotta protect the medic.”
Except for a very small number of aggro-rush-loving bosses, almost all bosses who hired escort carries played the medic.
Bai Wei gave an “oh,” understanding his meaning. He understood clearly. “You want to protect me.”
Yan Xiu’s lips parted. For a moment, something felt off. He wanted to refute it, but God Bai wasn’t wrong. The medic needed protection. Luna’s survival ability was much stronger than the medic’s. Otherwise, why did escort carries always pick Luna and have the boss play the medic?
Bai Wei looked up, appreciating what those dumbass commenters called a 250-kilo, ugly, BO-riddled, youthful voice.
-Mm. 100-plus jin. Very skinny. Good-looking. Not stinky. Possibly fragrant.
This youthful-voiced person’s handsome face flushed a faint red. He wanted to argue but couldn’t open his mouth. Lips opened, closed. Opened, closed. Bai Wei watched his lips move twice. Yan Xiu finally said, “Let’s clear the Buoyancy Room, God D.”
Propping his chin, Bai Wei watched him. “You protect me?”
Yan Xiu: “…”
Yan Xiu: “I’ll clear angles.”
Bai Wei: “Mm-hmm, I’m scared. I’ll stand further back.”
Yan Xiu’s clearing was detailed and swift. His movements were quick. The two soon swept all the Dark Room positions. Another sweep confirmed the Core Area was clear.
At that moment, gunfire burst from the dormitory control center.
The last two squads were somehow still fighting at the dormitory sandlot.
They ran from the central garden toward the control center. As they reached the control center bridge, Yan Xiu saw a figure flash behind the blue car at mid-control.
“Behind the blue car, God D. I’ll hold the angle.”
Bai Wei nodded. The delicate medic was thoroughly enjoying being protected. “Okay~” He went prone directly, hiding behind a crate.
【Okay~~~~~~】
【What’s God D doing? Is he testing the sub? Why is he being so… clingy?】
【Feels like God D’s voice is practically dripping honey. He’s really turned into a medic boss.】
【This is a bit shippable…】
“I’ll flank from under the bridge. God D, you stay prone on the bridge. Be careful not to get picked off.” Yan Xiu blurted it out, then corrected himself, “No, I didn’t mean it that way, God D. Do you want to come with me?” He was way too used to telling the boss to find a safe spot and lie low while waiting for him to finish the fight and come loot.
“No worries, I’ll watch you fight. Sandlot dorm entrance, one there. Mid-control blue car, one there too, carrying A-Max ammo. Be careful.”
Yan Xiu’s heart tensed. Danger is testing me.
He held his breath, descended the control center bridge, and executed the flank. At the position Bai Wei specified, a Red Wolf was huddled helplessly behind a wall. Yan Xiu’s M700 instantly got a headshot.
The Red Wolf was eliminated, turning into a box on the spot.
Clearly, his teammates had all been wiped by the enemy team. He was a lone wolf.
That meant only one last squad remained.
Yan Xiu fired a recon arrow towards the control center, revealing two figures. He immediately began sneaking, crouching, heading behind the dormitory. No one would have imagined he’d go around West Gate, enter the Core Area, then take Staff Passage 2 for an enormous super-flank.
The enemy team’s composition was Vyron, Shield Dog, and the medic. No recon.
Bai Wei leaned back in his gaming chair. He removed his mask and quietly admired Yan Xiu’s game sense and mechanics.
Taking Staff Passage 2 in the opposite direction… against a team lacking recon, they wouldn’t suddenly think to check their rear. If the position was right, maybe he could even steal a kill outright. In solo vs trios, this was the best, safest play.
Bai Wei opened the mini-map.
He couldn’t see Yan Xiu’s POV, but on the map, he could see Yan Xiu flanking through Staff Passage 2, already behind the enemy.
Then.
“Bang!”
[Your escort isn’t up to par eliminated Onlyshow with AWM]
The instant Yan Xiu exited Staff Passage 2, the moment his head appeared, an A-Max bullet had already locked onto his skull. As he fell to the ground, he exclaimed in shock, “That’s a wallhack!”
【Wallhack wallhack wallhack!!!】
【Not even trying to hide it, dead cheating dog!】
【Holding Staff Passage 2? What was he thinking? Tech’s insane. Cheating dog’s whole family dead!!!】
Bai Wei immediately deployed smoke and headed from the control center bridge toward Staff Passage 2 to rescue.
Yan Xiu was downed in the middle of the road. Bai Wei threw a smoke grenade, intending to carry him back. Just as he threw the smoke, a bullet landed right at his feet, full of provocation.
Bai Wei’s eyes darkened. He went out to jiggle peek again. A pre-fire shot hit the exact spot he was about to exit.
The sound of three sets of footsteps came tap-tap-tapping closer. As the enemy squad closed in, they frantically spammed voice lines with repeated taunts.
“You’re trash, next.”
“You’re trash, next.”
“Happy New Year!”
“Happy New Year!”
“You’re trash, next.”
Yan Xiu said self-reproachfully, “My fault, I got out too aggressively. Should’ve peeked first.”
“No one expects a wallhacker.”
Bai Wei’s voice was icy cold. He pulled out an AWM. It was the one taken from the CEO Office earlier, belonging to Dancing Esports’ Wang Gua.
“You’re trash, next.”
“Happy New Year!”
“You’re trash…”
“Bang!”
[OLG-Danger eliminated Your escort isn’t up to par with AWM]
The corner of Bai Wei’s mouth curved in a cold, mocking smile. He sneered, “Shooting my escort? Have you thought about how you want to die?”
