Book 3: Glory on the Other Side

Chapter 24

“Double snipers?” Slide quietly muttered.

Secret Room had five offensive weapons: pistol, scoped a.s.sault
rifle, light machine gun, sniper rifle, and mortar.

Except for pistols, which all players started with, all the other weapons
once chosen would decide the position each player would take, rifleman,
support, sniper, demolitions. Or the team could choose what the Koreans
did before, just buy all the supporting items.

So did they use double snipers to counter rushes?

On the screen, the two teams, after a brief burst of gunfire just now, had
already separated and hiding from each other.

Dt and Grunt guarded each side. They switch to night vision goggles while
scoped in on their sniper rifles.

“Yes. Dt successfully suppressed the other’s offensive momentum. The
effect of having two snipers is very obvious.” The male commentator looked
at the screen and continued without any delay. “It was a brief firefight. Nice.
They’ve now completed stopped firing.”

“It’s too fast. It’s so fast for Dt to switch between the sniper and his gun.”
The female commentator put her hand over her heart. “We’ve never seen
Dt used the sniper rifle before. It’s totally unexpected that he can be so fast
at switching guns. It’s comparable to FI’s professional sniper!”

……

Slide and All couldn’t stand to listen no more.

They turned to look at Ai Qing.

She was the number 1 sniper once.

Ai Qing stared at the large screen and satisfied their request to hear her
commentary. “Speed, precision, and aggressiveness are the fundamentals
required to be a sniper. There’s nothing special to flatter about.”

Speed, open the scope the moment you see an enemy.

Precision, zoom into the scope and aim simultaneously.

Aggressiveness, shoot immediately without any hesitation.

“The speed at which they can switch their guns determines a sniper’s survival
rate.” The two players beside Ai Qing were also long time experts at first person
shooters. Ai Qing didn’t have to explain the details, “You all know it well. Your
run speed is very slow when holding a sniper rifle. One grenade from the
opponent could make the sniper bleed right way or even die. After shooting, the
sniper needs to switch to their pistol immediately. The speed directly determines
how long the sniper can survive.”

“Besides,” Ai Qing added, “shooting a sniper rifle requires one to keep the body
still. It’s different from shooting other guns. How to withdraw, advance, shoot,
switch guns, and all these are hard to fully understand while playing normally.
Even normal skirmishes aren’t that demanding. Only at major compet.i.tions, when
you face the best, is when you realize how important one-tenth of a second really is.”

On the screen, Dt and Grunt almost shot simultaneously. The speed of their
movement obviously showed that Grunt was visibly slower about half a footstep
than Dt.

But Grunt wasn’t a weak player.

Ai Qing understood it very well.

The action zooming into the scope and switching guns couldn’t be seen completely.
They were all hidden, shooting, hidden, shooting……

The shooting range of a sniper rifle was the furthest.

Under the two players’ co

ordinated actions, the opponent’s ma.s.sed attacks were
all suppressed.

Except for short bursts of fire, they could only watch the distant enemy through their
night vision goggles.

“He’s really a qualified captain. He can fill in any position and adapt to any tactic.”
She sighed lightly.

Anybody could be a sniper.

But not everybody was qualified to be a professional sniper.

The sniper was constantly on the defensive. They avoided close combat and tried
not to get entangled in an engagement.

The most vicious part of the job was not to give the opponent any chance to retreat.

At three minutes twenty seconds, Dt and Grunt worked together to repel an enemy
attack once again.

The opponent withdrew and tried to attack the military base instead.

Almost at the same time, Dt and Grunt crisscrossed each other, following their
opponent’s trail tightly.

At four minutes thirty seconds, they blocked the opponent’s path of retreat

The opponent moved forward too slowly and their retreat was also too slow.

Dt and Grunt didn’t let go of their grip on the enemy.

Pursuit, gun switching, and picking sniping positions, they were perfectly in sync.

The two men almost acted simultaneously.

This scene was too beautiful. Two snipers were too rare. Not to mention that both
were experts.

“Wow!” All suddenly cheered. “Excellent!”

Not only All, almost everyone was excited. The audience had broken into applause
On the split screen, it was 97 who held the mortar and led his other two teammates
who were firing with light machine guns.

Ai Qing suddenly realized.

This new tactic was completely geared towards this mission.

Two experts entangled the opponent, while the remaining lower leveled players
launched surprise attacks on the opponent’s military bases.

Therefore they didn’t have any extra weapons, it was all offense with as much
firepower as they could bring to bear.

Flaming, blasting, and shooting.

Dt was fighting with skills at the front . His personal skill commanded everything else.

The bases with npc soldiers only required simple violent attacks. There was no skill
involved. It was just a matter of time!

The soldier kill count displayed on top of the screen was rising rapidly.

It was simply rising like a vertical line.

The count stopped all of a sudden.

At fourteen minutes and ten seconds!

“It’s over! d.a.m.n, it’s over!”

Ai Qing’s heart was pumping hard as All was screaming.

She plugged her ears, but couldn’t stiffle her laughter. She yelled at him., “Hey, hey.
Lower your voice.”

The huge sound of applause was like a ma.s.s of drums. K&K’s fans were quite self
aware of how to be proper fans. They would clap three times followed by a scream:
“K&K”. It was started by a group of young girls at the beginning, then it spread to the
whole audience very quickly. After all, it was the first victory for the Chinese region
against the European region, so inevitably the audience was jubilant.

Three claps, K&K.

Three claps, K&K…...

……

Ai Qing looked at the man on the large screen amidst the deafening sound of applause.

He took off his earphones, showing a rare expression of relief.

Did he feel the pressure?

Ai Qing couldn’t help curling up the corners of her mouth. So he could feel pressure too?

Finally, he felt the pressure as well? It wasn’t just from the fans, but a whole team’s
group efforts and the gamers’ expectation. And there was…...the desire to win.
