Chapter 4: Adonis, Legend (2)

Without any experience in the game, by the time s.h.i.+ Yao reached her tenth round, she opted for the Squad mode 1 instead of the Solo mode.
Soon, the pairing was completed, and s.h.i.+ Yao took a look at the names of her teammates. Player 1 was called [Juice], Player 2 was called [111111], Player 3 was called [Expert of the Monkeys], and Player 4 was her, [Yao Loves Ice Cream].
Since she was hopeless at playing Solo, she would be better off relying on her team. Perhaps, just like in those novels, she might meet a G.o.dly expert who would carry her on his huge thigh, bringing her to soar through the ranks…
As beautiful as her imagination was, reality proved to be cruel.
This was exactly what happened:
After entering the game, [Juice] marked the military base.
As the plane reached the marked coordinates, s.h.i.+ Yao noticed that her three teammates had already jumped, so she hurriedly jumped as well.
After which, she realized that she’d landed on a high-rise building, so she jumped down again. The next thing she knew, her health bar had already turned completely red.
????????
It took s.h.i.+ Yao a whole ten seconds before she realized that she’d actually…fallen to her death 2 !
Was she really playing the same game as Legend? It felt like Legend was playing “PlayerUnknown’s Battleground” while she was playing a game called “101 Ways to Die”…
After ten games of being box-ified 3 right after landing on the ground, s.h.i.+ Yao honestly felt like she was on the verge of a mental breakdown. It was fortunate that she was playing Squad mode—that way she could continue on with the game after her teammates picked her up. 4
s.h.i.+ Yao, who was feeling indignant that she’d died just like that, switched on her microphone and asked, “Is there anyone who can come pick me up?”
Complete silence. No one could be bothered with her.
Unwilling to give up, s.h.i.+ Yao took a look at the minimap and noticed that Player 2 [111111] was closest to her. Thus, she spoke up once more, “Player 2, can you come pick me up?”
However, before s.h.i.+ Yao could even finish her words, [111111], who was in the middle of picking up items in a house, suddenly leaped out a window, got on a motorcycle, and zoomed off in the opposite direction.
“…” She had already sent out two distress calls, and not only was no one coming to save her, one of them even ran away from her.
Ravaged by both the game and her teammates, s.h.i.+ Yao decided to quit the game. However, just as her finger was just about to tap on the ‘Quit Game’ option, a young man’s voice suddenly rang out from her phone: “Player 4 is a girl?”
s.h.i.+ Yao automatically stopped what she was doing and turned to the screen. The one speaking was Player 3, [Expert of the Monkeys].
Player 1, [Juice], also hurriedly spoke up: “Babe, how’d you die?”
[Expert of the Monkeys]: “Babe, wait for me. I’m coming to save you!”
[Juice]: “Babe, I’m coming too——”
Before s.h.i.+ Yao could make sense of the situation, she saw Player 1 and Player 3 rus.h.i.+ng frenziedly towards her from different locations on the minimap.
On the way, the duo even bickered with one another: “I’m the one who found the babe first, so I get to save her.”
“I’d be your grandson if I listen to you!”
“Grandson, watch how you speak to your grandfather!”
…
Eventually, it was [Juice] who saved s.h.i.+ Yao.
In the middle of her rescue, the sound of gunshots rang out ceaselessly in the surroundings. s.h.i.+ Yao, who had yet to pick up anything at this point, couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive, so she said, “I think it might be better if you don’t save me. I don’t have any medicine or weapons on me, so even if you saved me, I’ll still——”
Before s.h.i.+ Yao could say ‘die’, [Expert of the Monkeys] had already thrown three First Aid Kits and four Energy Drinks at her. “Babe, I’ve got medicine on me. You can have it all!”
“Babe, I have a gun!” Right after saving s.h.i.+ Yao, [Juice] swiftly threw an M16A4 rifle and a magazine. “I have bullets too!”
“You can have this Level 3 Military Vest.”
“Here’s a Level 2 Military Helmet and Backpack.”
…
s.h.i.+ Yao was dumbfounded.
She hadn’t done anything at all, but these two brother teammates had already fed her fat 5 ?
One must know that her combined loot over the past nine games didn’t even come close to what she had at that very moment!
