In the entertainment live broadcast room.

[Fuck! It’s the thirteenth token! God Xin got his fifth token today!”

[God Xin is truly amazing. He didn’t waste any time in a copy or looking for tokens. When it’s time to complete the task, he completes it, and when it’s time to find tokens, he finds them. Even when he couldn’t find any, people came to hand them to him. What’s wrong with God Xin’s luck? What’s wrong with being unlucky? He relies on his strength!]

[Thanks to God Xin, I now know what the tokens look like. I’ve seen so many of them today that I’m about to vomit.]

[Do you guys think the fourteenth token will drop today?]

“Let’s not wish for it. If there are too many tokens, they will lose their value. It’s better to keep them a bit mysterious for us ordinary players, for the sake of our mental well-being.]

————————

As the hidden reward token appeared, the live broadcast screen was immediately closed. The lively audience began to disperse reluctantly, with some wanting to catch a glimpse of their idol and heading towards the 250th level.

Xia Chi and Liang Xi approached immediately after Bai Lixin’s competition ended.

Xia Chi: “Brother, that was amazing! How did you know there would be a token after reaching the fifth level with ten rings?”

Bai Lixin looked around and seemed to be looking for someone. “It just suddenly occurred to me.”

He hurriedly handed the tokens in his hand to the two of them. “Xia Chi, Liang Xi, you two stay here and have fun. I’ll go out for a moment.”

Without waiting for Xia Chi and Liang Xi to respond, he hurriedly left and disappeared into the crowd.

Xia Chi: “What’s wrong with Brother?”

Liang Xi: “I don’t know. It seems like he saw someone.”

Xia Chi: “Huh, someone he wants to chase after? He always seems indifferent when it comes to making friends.”

Liang Xi: “Haha, God Xin just takes long to warm up to people . What should we do next? Do you want to try shooting?”

Xia Chi held the tokens tightly, looking determined. “Yes, this time I’ll definitely reach the third level! If I can’t beat my brother, I can at least beat the Little Overlord. I won’t admit defeat.”

Liang Xi: “Alright, count me in. But this type of shooting should be Li Cancan’s strong suit. Her archery skills are impeccable.”

Xia Chi: “Yeah, what’s Li Cancan doing right now? Let’s wait a while before we play. How can my brother have such high praise for that Li Cangshan? He rarely praises someone like that. I’m really curious about Li Cangshan now.”

Liang Xi: “Let’s go then. Let’s see what level he’s at.”

Not long after the two of them left, countless people flooded in.

“Where’s God Xin?”

“Where’s God Xin?”

“I’m here to see the real person. I even brought my book for an autograph.”

The crowd searched around, and one player couldn’t stand it and pointed outside. “If you’re talking about the young man who got the five token with ten rings earlier, he left as soon as the competition ended. You guys are late.”

“What?! We’re late again? Do you know where God Xin went?”

“I don’t know, I don’t know. If you’re here to practice shooting, then go ahead and play, or else leave and don’t disturb others here. Instead of chasing stars, you should think about how to improve yourself and get closer to your idols.”

Feeling a bit embarrassed by the players’ disapproving expressions, the crowd left the shooting range.

God Xin was no where to be seen in the vast 250th level.

Someone suggested, “Since we’re here, why not play for a bit and relax?”

“Sure, why not.”

In no time, the previously sparsely populated 250th level was suddenly filled with people.

In the midst of the crowded scene, a slender figure moved nimbly through the crowd and quickly reached a secluded room.

It was a deserted shooting room with shelves still filled with rows of guns.

Three meters away from the shelves was a table covered with green cloth, and on top of it lay a sniper-style toy gun.

Bai Lixin had been following a certain figure all the way here, but as soon as they entered, that person disappeared.

He silently walked to the toy gun, opened the magazine, and found that there were still bullets inside.

Although the place seemed abandoned, there was no dust on the gun, and the table was clean, as if it had been prepared for him.

Bai Lixin picked up the gun and examined it carefully. Suddenly, he raised the toy gun, aiming it at the toys on the shelf with a heroic posture.

But at that moment, the quiet shelf suddenly started moving rhythmically from left to right.

Bai Lixin took his eyes off the scope and glanced at the shelf before casually firing a shot in front of him.

A furry cat toy fell from the shelf.

Bai Lixin fired several more shots randomly, hitting all the targets accurately.

When the bullets were used up, Bai Lixin put the toy gun back on the table and shouted to the empty air, “I’m done. Isn’t someone supposed to come out and give me the toys?”

A light chuckle echoed from the darkness.

The next moment, a dark figure suddenly rushed out from behind Bai Lixin and pressed him firmly against the table.

It was an NPC wearing a wolf-faced mask.

Seeing the wolf on the mask, Bai Lixin involuntarily recalled some not-so-good memories in his mind, and subconsciously struggled.

However, despite his immense strength, he was extremely weak under the hands of the NPC. The opponent used just one pair of hands, and he easily subdued Bai Lixin’s two hands.

Bai Lixin, who had lost his hands, was still not convinced. He raised his foot abruptly, but was easily buckled by the opponent’s long legs when he was halfway up.

The raised leg fell to the ground again, and the other leg of the Wolf Mask went between Bai Lixin’s legs.

After a few tricks, Bai Lixin completely turned into a fish on the chopping board.

Wolf Mask’s free hand slowly went to his mask. Under Bai Lixin’s somewhat surprised eyes, the mask was slowly removed, revealing the familiar and handsome face inside.

Bai Lixin was a bit surprised. “Why did you take off your mask?”

“It doesn’t matter.” The man’s eyes were burning with desire as he looked down at every inch of Bai Lixin’s skin from above. He reached for the gun beside him, grasping the cold barrel and pressing it against the collar of Bai Lixin’s clothes. “There are a lot of people outside now, and the system no longer probes this place.”

The barrel exerted a slight force, and the young man’s slightly disheveled shirt immediately popped open, revealing the smooth collarbone.

Bai Lixin’s pupils slightly dilated, “You’re such a pervert.”

Dijia chuckled lightly, “I’m the big pervert, and you’re the little pervert. We are a perfect match.”

As he spoke, his hands continued their actions without any hesitation.

The barrel penetrated inside the shirt, leaving traces on the pure white fabric.

The cold metallic texture touched his skin, and Bai Lixin could even smell the faint scent of gunpowder from the barrel.

Despite knowing that there were no bullets in the gun, that specific fear of a certain weapon kept assaulting his mind over and over again.

His nerves became even more sensitive under the tension.

Bai Lixin’s whole body couldn’t help but tremble, and his eyes were filled with a mist of tears.

Dijia’s hand paused slightly, then he suddenly bent down, and his lips whispered near Bai Lixin’s ear, “Why did you hide a gun? Don’t you know that carrying knives and firearms is illegal? I need to inspect and confiscate them.”

Because of Dijia’s actions, the toy gun was now pointing between them, stimulating Bai Lixin’s nerves even more.

Bai Lixin pouted in grievance, expressing his discomfort by shaking his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Dijia’s voice lowered to a slow seductive tone, “Say something nice, and I’ll let you off.”

Bai Lixin looked at the man, blushed and whispered, “Husband.”

The vortex in Dijia’s eyes swirled. He took the toy gun out, forcefully kissing Bai Lixin’s lips, asserting his dominance and affection.

With his hands freed, Bai Lixin reached out and hooked them around Dijia’s neck, responding passionately.

———————-

Xia Chi and Liang Xi quickly found Zhou Guang and the others, and they all entered the game. However, unlike their static shooting game, Zhou Guang and his group were playing a live-action CS game.

It wasn’t a player-versus-player match; instead, they were fighting against NPCs simulated by the system.

The map was randomly generated as well.

This live-action CS game had a background story where players needed to rescue hostages held by NPCs portraying criminals within a specified time.

The game required a full roster of ten players to start, and Zhou Guang and the others had to wait a bit to gather enough players. This wasted some time, so they had just entered the game.

As spectators, Xia Chi and the others couldn’t directly enter the live-action CS game to watch. However, the considerate system had installed a large screen outside the CS arena for the audience.

Through the screen, they could watch the game’s progress in full view.

Upon landing, Zhou Guang and the others found themselves outside a dilapidated school. The school’s windows were all broken, and dark gun barrels poked out from inside, aiming outward.

As the ten players landed, they hadn’t even steadied themselves when they heard the sound of gunfire.

Zhou Guang shouted anxiously, “Take cover!”

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a strong force pulling him violently, and the scene in front of him blurred as his body involuntarily rolled to the side.

Looking back at where he had been, it was riddled with bullets like a hornet’s nest.

Four players were already lying on the ground beside the hornet’s nest.

[Ding! Four players have lost their ability to move. They will be teleported out of the game room. The remaining six players, please continue the game.]

Zhou Guang took a deep breath in fear, and as his gaze shifted, he saw the person who had saved him from the brink of death just a moment ago.

“Thank you, Li Cangshan.”

In that split second upon landing, Li Cangshang not only sensed the danger with his keen senses, but also saved Zhou Guang. His body acted instinctively, protecting both Li Cancan and Zhou Guang by wrapping an arm around each of them and taking them behind a metal plate with concealment features.

Li Cangshan nodded politely towards Zhou Guang. “You’re welcome.”

Cool, handsome, and aloof.

As he spoke, he lowered his head, but when he looked at Li Cancan, his expression instantly changed. “Sister Cancan, are you okay? Did I hurt you when I grabbed you just now?”

Li Cancan shook her head shyly. “I’m fine, thanks to you.”

“That’s good, as long as you’re fine,” Li Cangshan grinned, showing a silly smile that contrasted with his cool expression just now.

Zhou Guang: “…”

‘Sigh, when three people get together, there’s always one person who gets hurt.

Why should it be me, the poor Taoist, getting hurt instead of the couple?’

Li Cancan felt something poking her waist. She looked down and found a backpack beneath her, and a dark gun barrel was sticking out from the zipper. “I have a weapon here. Do you two have one?”

Zhou Guang’s backpack was on his back, and he quickly took it off to check. He also found a long-barreled gun inside. “I have one too. This should be our starting equipment.”

Then they looked at Li Cangshan.

Li Cangshan acted swiftly, without any unnecessary movements. He quickly took out a gun from his backpack. “This gun looks similar to the AK-47, but maybe there are some slight differences due to this being an independent space.”

“It has the advantage of a large magazine capacity, holding 30 bullets,” he said as he opened the magazine to check and then quickly reloaded it. “Mine is full, and yours should be the same. However, we should check just to be safe. But the disadvantages are also obvious—the gun has a small caliber, insufficient recoil, and a short range.”

“We are about 50 meters away from that school, and with this gun, we won’t be able to hit the target from such a distance. It would be great if we had a sniper rifle right now.”

As he finished speaking, he noticed the silence around him.

Raising his head curiously, Li Cangshan saw Zhou Guang and Li Cancan staring at him with wide eyes and disbelief.

Li Cancan: “Li Cangshan, you’re amazing! How do you know so much about this? What’s your real occupation?”

Zhou Guang pushed his glasses up, concealing the sharpness in his eyes.

Li Cangshan thought, “oops,” and hurriedly explained, flustered, “Real occupation? Don’t you guys play CS? There are many guns like this in the game. Don’t laugh, but my skills are on par with professional players. If I hadn’t been accepted to the sports school, maybe I would have become a professional e-sports player to bring glory to our country.”

Li Cancan expressed unwavering belief in this and patted Li Cangshan’s shoulder heavily to encourage him. “It’s alright. Going to sports school and participating in the Olympics is also a way to bring glory to our country!”

Li Cangshan nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Hehe, yes, you’re right.”

Zhou Guang restrained the sharpness in his eyes. “Li Cangshan, both Li Cancan and I don’t play games. You’re the expert here. Based on your past experience, what should we do next?”

Li Cangshan replied, “First, get out of their shooting range and try to find a breakthrough from behind. We’ll enter from a concealed point and attack from the inside.”

“But be careful, the hostages are still in their hands. If a gunfight breaks out, make sure not to aim at the hostages.”

“Our primary objective is to ensure the safety of the hostages and never point our guns at innocent civilians.”

Zhou Guang nodded. “Understood. Could you lead the way? We are not familiar with the range of those guns.”

Li Cangshan replied, “Of course, but we can’t just go out like this.”

As he spoke, he rummaged through his backpack and took out a helmet. “Check your backpacks and put on any wearable equipment. These things could save our lives at a critical moment. Although this is just a game, and it’s not even comparable to acting, we still need to take every moment seriously and never slack off.”

Zhou Guang said, “Okay, understood.”

‘Could save our lives at a critical moment? God Xin had also said this when he was referring to Li Cangshan.’

Zhou Guang and Li Cancan followed Li Cangshan’s actions, taking out their equipment from their backpacks and putting them on as he did.

Of course, Zhou Guang dressed himself, but with Li Cangshan’s patient help, Li Cancan slowly put on all the equipment.

Zhou Guang: “…”

Ah, jealousy.

Is this the favoritism of a loving couple?

——————-

Outside the large screen, Xia Chi watched with excitement. “Wow, so thrilling! I’ve never played this before. Brother Liang Xi, we must must try it next time Li Cangshan is so strong, he’s definitely the best among CS experts, at the level of a king. No wonder Brother said he could save us at critical moments. Even I, a grown man, feel very secure with him around. Ouch!”

Liang Xi looked at Xia Chi with concern. “What’s wrong?”

Xia Chi frowned and rubbed his temples. “It’s nothing, just suddenly got a headache.”

Liang Xi asked anxiously, “Why did you suddenly get a headache? Are you sick? What are the symptoms?”

Xia Chi replied, “It feels like someone suddenly kicked my nerves.”

Liang Xi carefully examined him and then breathed a sigh of relief. “No problem, it should just be a muscle cramp.”

Xia Chi: “Um, Brother Liang Xi, can nerves cramp too?”

‘I may not be well-educated, but don’t try to deceive me!

I’m not that easily fooled. I’ve even downloaded the national anti-fraud app.’

Liang Xi: “…”

“What are you talking about? I meant the veins on your forehead cramped, and that caused a slight headache.”

Xia Chi rubbed his temples in confusion. “Is that so? Are you sure I don’t have a brain tumor or something? Maybe there’s some parasite in my brain?”

“Ouch, ow!” Xia Chi rubbed his forehead again. “It kicked me again. Are you really sure it’s not a parasite?”

Liang Xi patted Xia Chi’s shoulder. “Calm down, don’t be nervous. You’re healthy as an ox. Cramps are like this; they’ll go away after a while. Just endure it.”

Xia Chi: “…”

‘Wuuu, but my head hurts. >_<‘
