Lin Yi Shi was utterly stunned!
He stared in astonishment at Lin Yue’s profile, the pink bunny headphones perched adorably on her head.
Yet it was this very same adorable person who had instantly pinpointed the enemy’s position and decisively landed a headshot with a single bullet.
While he was still reeling in shock, the opponent respawned. Lin Yi Shi quickly snapped back to attention, focusing intently on the screen. He wanted to see exactly how Lin Yue operated.
He watched as Lin Yue controlled his in-game character, executing a seamless series of rolls and jumps before climbing onto a rooftop, cleverly positioning herself outside the enemy’s line of sight.
Just as the opponent was about to start looting for weapons, Lin Yue didn’t even bother to aim down sights. With a sharp “bang,” she instantly executed another headshot.
In that moment, the tables completely turned, and their positions were reversed.
Lin Yi Shi was over the moon with excitement, standing beside her and watching with exhilaration.
“Ahhhhhhh, Sis, kill him, kill him, finish him off!!”
“Holy crap, Sis, you’re so cool! That move was absolutely legendary!”
Lin Yi Shi glanced up at the kill count displayed on the computer screen.
“Whoa, Sis, you’ve solo-killed him twenty times! 666666, that’s absolutely insane!”
Unable to contain his excitement, Lin Yi Shi grabbed the headset from the desk and turned the microphone back on—the one Lin Yue had just muted.
He mimicked the opponent’s earlier arrogant tone.
“Oh dear, oh dear, who’s the little brat that got beaten so badly he went crying for his mommy? Just a measly twenty solo kills, I ask you—are you convinced yet?”
The opponent’s voice now carried a sob. “If you’ve got guts, fight me yourself! Calling in backup, huh? Think I don’t have any? Just you wait!”
Then, Lin Yue heard a young boy’s voice calling for someone through the headset.
His tone lacked any of the arrogance he’d shown toward them earlier; instead, it held a hint of grievance and pitiful pleading.
“Brother, can you help me play one round? They’re so mean, totally bullying a kid like me, and they even called me a noob.”
Lin Yue hadn’t realized kids these days had such solid backup.
Well, let her see just how skilled this “reinforcement” really was.
The next second, Lin Yue heard a familiar, low, and slightly hoarse male voice through the headset—patient and magnetic.
“Alright.”
For a moment, Lin Yue wondered if it was her imagination, but she thought she heard Xie Yan Si’s voice.
But then she reconsidered—how could Xie Yan Si possibly play this kind of game? He wasn’t some non-mainstream kid, and he certainly wouldn’t waste his life on gaming. It must have been her mistake.
Lin Yue pushed the thought aside and refocused on the game.
Only three matches remained until the final chicken dinner.
The poison zone was spreading quickly now, but Lin Yue remained steady. She stocked up on healing items and ran through the poison, wearing camouflage gear in grassy green.
Unless her opponent had 5.2 vision and enough patience to outlast her, finding her trail would be nearly impossible.
Watching his sister’s rock-solid, veteran-like gameplay, Lin Yi Shi mentally showered her with a wave of “6666.”
He’d seen steady players before, but never one this unshakable.
Both of them felt certain this match was in the bag, but then Lin Yue heard a sudden “bang—” through the headset.
The game character she was controlling instantly fell to the ground.
Lin Yi Shi stared blankly. “?”
“Holy crap, you got backstabbed even while running through the poison?!”
Lin Yue hadn’t expected her opponent to be waiting for her inside the poison zone.
It seemed the helper they’d called in was quite skilled. She couldn’t afford to take this lightly anymore.
Lin Yi Shi cheered Lin Yue on from the side. “Sis, stay steady! If we stay steady, victory is ours!”
Lin Yue focused intently on the screen, her slender fingers flying across the mechanical keyboard, leaving Lin Yi Shi utterly dumbfounded.
His sister’s hand speed was no less than that of a professional gamer.
Truly, an excellent person excels at everything they do.
No wonder his sister was so beloved by their parents—it was well-deserved.
Sure enough, in the second round, he saw his sister apply what she learned, sniping the opponent from within the toxic zone.
The corners of Lin Yue’s lips curled slightly. The sense of achievement from gaming was no less satisfying than completing a set of math problems.
For Lin Yue, gaming was a way to relax. So, every time she ranked first in her grade, she would use gaming to unwind her mind.
Playing games was just like solving math problems for her—applying formulas, matching guns with the right ammunition and scopes. It all tested logical thinking.
And Lin Yue’s logical thinking had never been weak, not since she was a child.
As the opponent respawned, the final round in the last circle was about to begin.
The circle was small now, and the toxic zone was strong, allowing Lin Yue to clearly observe the opponent’s movements.
Not only were the opponent’s actions smooth, but they also wielded an AWM and an M24.
With this setup, Lin Yue wasn’t confident she could win, especially given the opponent’s hand speed, which was no less impressive than hers.
Seeing the opponent’s loadout, Lin Yi Shi beside her started shouting frantically.
“Oh no, oh no, this round is doomed too.”
“Am I just not meant to win at games, or is this account cursed? My sister’s skills are insane, and now this? It’s messing with my head.”
Lin Yue noted that, at this critical moment, he didn’t drag her into it. At least the kid had some conscience.
In that case, as his older sister, she might as well pull out her secret weapon for once.
After all, it was their first meeting, and she could grant him this victory.
It was just that this method came at the cost of a bit of dignity.
But dignity wasn’t worth much anyway.
Lin Yue cleared her throat lightly, and when she spoke again, her voice was completely different from usual—soft, sweet, and slightly coquettish.
“Big brother, you’re so amazing! Your moves are so cool. Could you go easy on me, please?”
When Lin Yue first started playing this game, she often got headshot due to unfamiliarity with the controls. Later, she joined a team and heard a girl pretending to be weak to a guy from the opposing team.
For the sake of ultimate victory, Lin Yue followed suit. After all, behind the screen, no one knew who she was.
This secret weapon of hers worked every single time.
Hearing this, Lin Yi Shi stared at his sister in shock.
This voice was completely different from the one she used to scold him. It sent shivers down his spine and, well… sounded oddly pleasant.
Sweet yet gentle, gentle yet pure—the voice of a genuine cute girl.
Through her headset, Lin Yue didn’t hear the opponent speak, but she could hear their breathing, slightly hurried.
She also noticed the opponent’s in-game character stiffening a bit, almost falling off the rooftop.
Seeing the effect was significant, Lin Yue maintained her soft, coquettish tone and launched the final, fierce attack: “Big brother, are you still going to shoot me?”
This time, her voice carried a hint of grievance, stirring a protective instinct in anyone who heard it.
Under her relentless assault, the opponent finally cracked.
A low, husky, and magnetic voice, tinged with an ambiguous tone, sounded through Lin Yue’s headset.
“Come here. I won’t shoot you.”
Lin Yue’s ears tingled, and she instinctively moved her character forward until the two stood face-to-face.
Then, she watched as the opponent dropped all their equipment on the ground.
This is meant for her.
Before Lin Yue could pick it up, she heard a few crackling noises from her earpiece, followed by a woman’s voice.
“Dong Dong, why are you bothering Xie Yan Si to play games with you again? He’s in his third year of high school and very busy.”
Lin Yue: “?”
Xie… Yan… Si?
