After looting the team on the bridge, Bai Ye went to pull the lever, then joined Hakutaku and Xiao Xiao Yan to finish off the rest of the Core Area.
Five minutes later, at the helicopter extraction point.
Hakutaku said, "This round was so rich, just from looting gear we got 14 million!"
Xiao Xiao Yan added, "I got 8 million, too bad I came in wearing a Level-6 Set, otherwise I could've gotten more..."
Hakutaku replied, "You didn't kill anyone and still got 8 million, isn't that enough?"
Xiao Xiao Yan retorted, "Commander, who ever complains about having too much money..."
In this match, four out of five teams were wearing Level-6 Sets, and two teams were carrying dual guns with A-Da or M700. Bai Ye casually picked up some guns the others couldn't carry and reached over 5 million.
Although Bai Ye hadn't played much before, his account wasn't short of money, with over a billion in cash alone.
However, there were very few Large Red Envelopes on his account, especially the various big ones.
Apart from the most common ones like Rocket Fuel, Mandel Supercomputer, and Tank, he hadn't even seen others like Armored Vehicle Battery or Micro Reactor after playing for a year.
As the screen displayed a successful extraction, Bai Ye asked, "Commander, should we continue?"
Hakutaku replied, "Of course, let's strike while the iron is hot and go for another round!"
"OK!"
Bai Ye transferred the items from his backpack to the warehouse and then equipped himself with one click.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao Yan suddenly said, "Commander, can I just bring a Large Red Envelope this time? I feel like gearing up doesn't really help me."
Hakutaku responded, "Then you can go for a Zero-to-Hero Run, this round Nightgod and I can handle it."
Xiao Xiao Yan protested, "Come on, Commander, am I not your best soldier anymore..."
Amidst the joking, the second match was successfully queued.
This time, the three of them spawned at Cell Block 3, the most confined spot on the entire map.
Even though the bridge-opening speed had been optimized in the past two seasons, it was still easy to be tailed by Cell Block 2 or directly run into a team at the Launch Area, even the Second Staff could come for a quick strike.
However, it's said that next month's Season 8 will update Aerospace 2.0, not only adding new areas but also optimizing many spawn points.
After landing, the three immediately went to the bridge to set up a card. Bai Ye picked up an A-Da, aiming towards Cell Block 2, and once he confirmed no one was coming out, he started crossing the bridge.
Throughout the crossing, Bai Ye kept an eye on the Blue Slope. When he saw a Weilong standing on a box, he immediately rewarded him with a shot from the A-Da.
But from the Blue Slope, even if you knock someone down, you can't finish them off. To attack, you'd have to take a long detour, so it's better to head to the President's Office first.
From the Black Market all the way to the President's Office, Bai Ye listened to the sounds from the Buoyancy Corridor on the opposite side and quickly said, "Someone's coming from the Buoyancy side, Commander, you guys go in and loot, I'll cover with the gun."
Hakutaku replied, "Alright, brother, leave it to you."
Bai Ye originally thought spawning at Cell Block 3 was too disadvantageous, far worse than the Central Control in the last round, but the outcome was unexpected. Read this novel at novelping . com for the best experience.
Perhaps because his contract with RNG had ended, Bai Ye's luck finally began to rebound.
After easily taking down the team at the Buoyancy Corridor, more people came from the Black Market Corridor behind.
In the following minutes, the other five teams in this game kept rushing towards the President's Office one after another.
Bai Ye fought at the Buoyancy, then the Black Market, then back to the Buoyancy, and again the Black Market...
Standing in the middle of the President's Office, he fired in all directions, his gun never stopping, almost overheating the M7.
Bai Ye jumped from the Black Market gap, caught the Climb Ladder to reset his height, and immediately used a Jet Boost to fly over and take down the last enemy trying to escape through the Black Market's rolling door.
Seeing his status bar with a shattered helmet and armor, and only 40 health points left, Bai Ye let out a long breath:
"Commander, the map is clear."
"Nightgod!!!"
Hakutaku shouted with his signature loud voice:
"25 minutes and 8 seconds, five-minute map clear in Classified Aerospace!"
"Brothers, isn't this a record? Nightgod should be the first to clear the map solo in five minutes and earn the Genius Teen title, right?!"
In this round, among the five full teams, only two kills were taken by tailing, and one team had a survivor, Bai Ye killed a total of 14!
Five minutes, solo 14 kills map clear in Classified Aerospace!
Up until now, the fastest and most well-known map clear record in Classified Aerospace was Lin Shu's 3 minutes and 16 seconds, but that was in a trio, with both teammates being professional players.
There are many aggressive players on the Aerospace map, often resulting in the Second Staff and Central Control fighting from the start, leaving only the last team standing in under five minutes.
Wang Zhongzhong once achieved 3 minutes and 25 seconds to earn the Genius Teen achievement, but he didn't complete a map clear.
Among all the top technical streamers, the fastest solo map clear with the Genius Teen title was around six to seven minutes.
Solo, five-minute map clear, and earning the Genius Teen title.
These three conditions combined, no one had ever achieved them before!
Although Bai Ye was in a trio with Hakutaku and Xiao Xiao Yan, they stayed inside the President's Office the whole time, and Bai Ye was the one fighting, making it no different from solo play, with even higher intensity than a trio.
At this moment, in both live streams, the chat was flooded like a torrential downpour.
[Five-minute map clear in Classified Aerospace and earning the Genius Teen title, Delta Force's Number One General, Nightgod deserves it!]
[33 kills in two rounds, I wouldn't dare kill like this even with hacks...]
[I say Nightgod is Delta Force's Number One General, who agrees and who disagrees?]
[What Number One General, directly Delta Force's Number One Player! With the intensity of the five Escort Squads' black rooms in this round, even Lin Shu or Hao Tian couldn't clear the map in five minutes!]
[President 1v15, this wave truly sealed the deal!]
[I was already lying down, but this match got me so pumped, I'm getting up to play a round now!]
[Nation's No. 1 Weilong, from now on I only recognize Nightgod!]
...
Xiao Xiao Yan said, "Nightgod, is it too late for me to become your apprentice now?"
Bai Ye replied, "Accepting apprentices, 200 each!"
Xiao Xiao Yan said, "Alright, I'll send you gifts later, if I become your apprentice, can I clear the map in five minutes like you?"
Bai Ye replied, "Better not, I fear you might not learn and apply for a minor's refund..."
"Hahaha~"
The three of them joked while looting, the atmosphere was quite joyful.
"What a pity, Nightgod."
Suddenly, Hakutaku saw a comment and couldn't help but lament:
"A while ago, Brother Ze organized a competition, if you had started streaming a month earlier, you could've caught it, with your skills you could've made a name for yourself on the stage..."
The Chen Ze Cup, arguably the most influential event in Delta Force's history, bar none!
With over 2 million viewers per match, tens of millions following continuously, related topics reaching over a billion reads in a single day, and dominating TikTok's trending searches for several days.
Not only the champion BBFPS, but anyone who performed well on stage gained tens of thousands of followers in just a few days.
Many went from being completely unknown before the competition to becoming major streamers with stable viewerships over ten thousand.
The Chen Ze Cup started on the 6th of this month, and the competition ended just ten days ago.
Even if it was just half a month earlier, if Bai Ye's contract with RNG had ended, he could've caught this competition.
Is it a pity? Perhaps.
The eight years with RNG taught Bai Ye that life's path is filled with many regrets.
Just like when he joined RNG, PUBG: Battlegrounds was already released.
But at that time, Bai Ye had just entered his senior year of high school, the school required boarding, and he could only rest one day every two weeks, leaving no time or energy to focus on new games.
If he had been more cautious back then, could he have avoided wasting those eight years of youth?
But the world never operates according to personal will, and what we can do is live well in the present and strive to shape the future into what we desire.
