"Weiwei, I'm ready."
Bai Ye spoke up:
"You don't need to bring a gun or backpack, just enough gear for combat. I've got a 40-slot Large Red Envelope for you."
"Little Bai, just call me Weiwei. Adding 'boss' feels weird."
"Alright."
Weiwei found a Level 4 Shield Bro Armor with only 50 durability from the warehouse, something that couldn't be sold at the Exchange Market, and put it on, muttering:
"Still short by over fifty thousand? Then I'll buy a 17-slot Chest Rig. I never used such a good rig before, afraid I'd get killed and lose it."
"The backpack is more cost-effective; a 20-slot Bee Backpack is only twenty thousand Haf Coins..."
Bai Ye:...
Although he knew there were many hoarders in this game who were reluctant to spend game currency, preferring to see their warehouses filled with Large Red Envelopes, someone like Weiwei, who spends thousands per hour on Escort but hesitates over tens of thousands of Haf Coins, was truly baffling to Bai Ye.
"GOGOGO, Confidential Dam, launch!"
After gearing up, Weiwei clicked match, speaking with an arrogant tone:
"I want to see who dares to chase me at the Dam today!"
"Hahaha."
Bai Ye was amused:
"Don't worry, before I go down, I won't let anyone harm you!"
"That sounds so reassuring. No wonder so many people like to order Escort..." Weiwei clicked her tongue.
Soon, the game matched successfully.
Weiwei was still using the Wis'adel Skin as Mai Xiaowen, while Bai Ye chose Red Wolf, adding a smoke position.
If they encountered people in the wild, having smoke would be advantageous for both offense and defense.
In this round, they landed at the bottom of the map, at the exile point outside the Visitor Center.
"Weiwei, how do you want to play this, head straight to the Administration Building or?"
"The Visitor Center has spawned a Large Free Safe, let's clear out the visitors first. I've found many Red Keycards on the second floor before..."
Weiwei's words revealed her experience.
"Alright."
Upon landing, Bai Ye immediately took painkillers and started injecting, not letting his guard down just because it was a 'beginner map.'
As everyone knows, Zero Dam is full of dangers.
As the introductory map for all players, the Dam has always been the most populated, filled with all sorts of players.
Like Aerospace, the Dam allows up to 18 players per round, with two guaranteed spawn points, and each round starts with a team at the East and West Building positions.
However, unlike Aerospace, which has only 8 spawn points and predictable routes, making strategies formulaic, the Dam has 14 spawn points! This chapter was copied from novelping(.)com without permission.
You never know how many teams are in this round at the Dam.
Nor can you predict which direction they'll head; sometimes, teams face off within seconds of landing.
Even Hao Tian, who dominated in Classified Aerospace, was reduced to a Lolita at the Dam, indicating the map's peril!
Bai Ye didn't want his first Escort to end in failure at the Dam, becoming a laughingstock.
As they neared the back door of the Visitor Center, Bai Ye faintly heard the screams of Rocket Troopers.
"Someone's here."
"Ah, is there someone in the Visitor Center?"
Weiwei, who was about to kick the door, immediately stopped and asked Bai Ye:
"What do we do now?"
"No worries, go grab the Large Safe on the first floor, I'll take care of them," Bai Ye replied.
A little-known fact about the Dam: if players spawn at the Visitor Center's first position or the Cement Plant's first position, Rocket Troopers won't spawn there.
Since they heard the Rocket Troopers being killed, it meant no players spawned by the fountain at the Visitor Center's first position; the team must have come from the top of the Dam.
Bai Ye quickly removed his helmet and armor, slid and jumped up the stairs to the second floor, and looked at the small room's rooftop outside.
On the rooftop, behind a wooden crate, a Luna was peeking with a spotlight, watching the second floor of the Visitor Center.
Bang!
[Pero Esports Bai Ye knocked down Asara Sniper Ping!]
After taking down Luna, Bai Ye waited a moment, seeing no sign of Luna's teammate approaching the platform. He quickly smashed the second-floor glass and stood near the Rocket Trooper platform.
With the Level 6 Audio Helmet and the Hearing Stim, he could clearly hear the sound of someone reviving outside the Visitor Center wall.
He first checked the left side of the Visitor Center exit, where, as expected, a Weilong was standing guard.
Bang!
[Pero Esports Bai Ye knocked down Dam Wild Entry!]
After knocking him down with another shot from the A-Da, Bai Ye jumped from the second floor, ran across, climbed the crates to the small room rooftop.
The last person in the team, though having stopped reviving, had already given away their position with the noise.
Bai Ye slid off the rooftop, his AS Val's crosshairs instantly locking onto the last Bee Medic, melting them before even landing.
[Pero Esports Bai Ye killed Purehearted Juicer!]
[Team Wiped!]
"Team wiped, Weiwei, come loot the bags."
Weiwei exclaimed:
"I'll finish searching the Visitor Center first, a Fossil dropped from the Large Free Safe, this round definitely has a high drop rate!"
"Uh... alright, I'll open the card for you."
"I've already opened the Ticket Office, Little Bai, help me open the VIP Room on the second floor..."
Following that, Bai Ye watched as Weiwei expertly looted the Visitor Center clean.
Every container had to be checked, even the Medical Kit in the first-floor restroom wasn't spared.
Bai Ye realized this girl purely enjoyed the process of finding rare items, with little interest in Operator Crates.
Since the boss liked playing this way, Bai Ye had no objections, as it was charged by the hour anyway.
"Wow, this team's gear is amazing, the guns are worth four to five hundred thousand each, and this SR-25 uses Level 5 bullets!"
After looting the visitors, Weiwei ran over to loot the bags, praising:
"But Little Bai, you're the impressive one, taking them down effortlessly..."
The emotional value given made it seem as if Bai Ye was the boss and Weiwei was just there for fun.
Bai Ye cooperatively replied:
"I said the whole Dam is yours today, so of course, I have to protect you."
Compared to clearing Classified Aerospace, this was incredibly easy.
The people at the Dam were interesting too; instead of fleeing after hearing the A-Da, their fighting spirit only grew.
Bai Ye felt like he was on vacation at the Dam.
Just staying near the boss, listening to the surroundings, and easily earning over eight hundred per hour.
This job was truly amazing!
Leaving the Visitor Center, they moved along the maintenance station to the Main Substation's perimeter.
Bai Ye climbed the scaffolding outside the Switch House, looking at the second-floor platform of the Substation, where the Rocket Trooper was still patrolling, not in alert mode.
"The Substation should be clear, I'll open the card on the second floor for you."
"Great!"
After taking down the Shield Bro, Bai Ye reached the second floor and opened the Tech Room, hearing gunfire from the Small Substation.
Looking through the window, he saw a Weilong jetting out from the Small Substation, heading straight for the Main Substation.
Bang!
[Pero Esports Bai Ye killed Slightly Mad Dragon!]
