Delta, Haotian breaches defenses: The dam is too deep!

The 200,000 yuan red envelope no longer holds any appeal for Jiang Chen.

After all, he now earns millions from a single live stream, and the 200,000 yuan in red envelopes is honestly less than what he would make from bombing an evacuation point in Bakshi. No one might believe this feeling if you told them, but it's true: a month ago, he was still worrying about living expenses of tens of thousands of yuan, but now he doesn't even care about the number 200,000.

In the past month, Jiang Chen has accumulated his account assets back to 80M through various CS gameplay.

It's ridiculous: the space base has a female ghost team that only fights the last team. Mai Xiaowen's stealth movement, combined with a quick-fire AK or Moonshadow MP7, allows her to camp in the shadows and wait for others to finish fighting before coming out to reap the rewards, making the opponents question their existence; Bakshi has a bombing evacuation point where no one is allowed to evacuate. Three people lie in Cherry Town, waiting for others to return with their loot, and then a wave of items falls from the sky, directly sending the opponents away with their bags.

These methods are increasingly sinister and immoral, yet they are all incredibly profitable.

Jiang Chen is now infamous.

Open any Delta Force forum and flip through a couple of pages, and you'll see posts condemning him: things like "Teacher Chen, get out of Delta Force," "Please, developers, ban this guy," and "I haven't been able to properly evacuate since Teacher Chen debuted." Between the lines, you can feel genuine despair and helplessness.

However, despite the many criticisms, he also has many more fans.

Compared to the elite players—the "Fierce Attack Bro"—there are definitely more "Rat" players. The ordinary players who have been repeatedly kicked by the "Fierce Attack Bro" are the largest group in this game, and Jiang Chen's playstyle is precisely tailor-made for them.

High returns with low risk; no need for exceptional marksmanship or lightning-fast reflexes, just a little patience and a bit of brains, and you can leave those fully equipped, aggressive players penniless.

This feeling is amazing.

Jiang Chen sighed. He hadn't expected that his month-long livestream would turn Delta Force's originally perfect aggressive gameplay environment into a situation dominated by Counter-Strike.

Now, the environment for these aggressive attackers has been repeatedly compressed. Before, they only had to worry about the opponent's shooting skills being better than their own. Now they also have to worry about whether there is a Mai Xiaowen lurking in the shadows or whether there are a few hand cannons flying over the extraction point. This is really unbearable.

However, these are not things that Jiang Chen is concerned about right now.

With the Chen Ze Cup final approaching, he needs to prepare.

The so-called preparation is not about practicing shooting or studying tactics, but rather—first, you have to redeem the next capability of the system.

He glanced at the system panel. The next requirement for exchanging abilities was that his account assets reached 100M, and he currently had 80M, so he was still 20M short.

Jiang Chen opened the game, intending to play a few rounds quietly and earn enough 20M before calling it a day.

However, he forgot one thing: the option to match teammates was not turned off.

You have been matched with teammates.

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, looking at the two new avatars on the right side of the screen, one was Wei Long and the other was Luna, clearly they were on the same team.

Fortunately, he had hidden his ID in the game settings beforehand; otherwise, given his current popularity, being recognized would have caused a lot of trouble.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to cancel, I'll just play it this way.

The voice channel is already buzzing.

"Baby, did you bring me any gear?"

A slightly deep male voice came through, with an air of domineering authority that seemed to say, "I'm the boss, you have to serve me well."

"I brought it, I brought it too. I even brought you AWM ammo, and I've modified your M7 for you." A girl's voice came from the side, soft and sweet, like the kind of spoiled wife who's being played with by her older brother.

How many AWM bullets did you bring?

"Two groups."

"Are two sets enough? What if we play too many and don't have enough?"

"Then...then shall I bring another group?"

"Alright, alright, two sets it is. I'm good at it, I can usually kill one with one shot, I don't need that many bullets."

As Jiang Chen listened, he silently thought to himself: One shot, one kill? That depends on whether you can hit the target or not.

"Hey, you even matched with a random stranger?" The older brother clearly noticed Jiang Chen. "Brother, do you have any gear? If not, just follow me. I'll show you around. I know a lot about space travel."

Jiang Chen hummed in agreement.

He devised a "poop-style" build, with one bullet capable of instantly killing an AK, costing less than 300,000.

Enter the game, space base.

The landing point was right at the west gate. The leader glanced at the surroundings and immediately began giving orders, acting like a battlefield commander: "Go straight for the dorms. Don't swipe your card to get through the west gate. Go around from the outside. There are definitely people in the dorms. Let's clear them out first."

There's nothing wrong with this tactic: not swiping the card to pass through the west gate is to avoid the sound of the card swiping revealing the location, and going around to the dormitory area from the outside is a relatively safe attack route.

Jiang Chen had no objection and followed them toward the dormitory.

The three of them made their way to the perimeter of the dormitory. The eldest brother walked in front, holding an AWM in front of him. His back view was indeed quite intimidating—a fully modified M7 hanging behind him, an AWM in his hand, five-armor armor and a helmet, and full gear. He was the quintessential image of a fierce attacking leader.

His young wife followed behind him with an M7, while Jiang Chen carried a 1-shot AK and walked at the very back.

Footsteps.

There was a commotion coming from the second floor of the dormitory. At least two people were rummaging through drawers and cabinets, eating something.

"There's someone here." The eldest brother lowered his voice, his tone filled with excitement and confidence. "I'll fire the first shot, you guys follow, watch me."

After saying that, he raised the AWM and aimed it at the second-floor window.

Looking at his crosshair, Jiang Chen already had a bad feeling.

The crosshair hovered near the window several times, but he didn't fire, clearly waiting for what he considered the "perfect" moment.

Three seconds, five seconds, a figure flashed past the window.

boom!

The sound of the AWM gunshots was particularly loud in the open environment of the space base.

However, that shot hit the window frame, without even touching the hair on the other side.

"Holy crap, he moved!" The older brother immediately found an excuse for himself, without the slightest embarrassment in his tone, "It's nothing, it's nothing, this shot was just a test, to see their position."

Jiang Chen: ...Testing? Testing with an AWM? You're going to test with a bullet that costs tens of thousands of yuan per shot?

However, this shot had completely exposed their position, and the people in the dormitory immediately became alert. One of them leaned half his body out of the window and began to return fire, with bullets clattering against the cover where the eldest brother was hiding.

At this moment, the older brother did something that amazed Jiang Chen—he didn't switch to the M7, but continued to hold the AWM, wanting to fire another shot at close range.

AWM, close range, with the scope wide open, aimed at a moving target.

Jiang Chen was too tired to complain anymore.

Sure enough, the second shot went astray again, this time even more wildly. The bullet flew directly onto the wall next to dormitory number 1, at least two body lengths away from the person on the other side.

While the older brother was frantically switching to his M7, the second person on the other side had already slipped out from the side door of the dormitory, circled around to the older brother's side, and fired a burst of bullets. The older brother didn't even have time to react before he fell to the ground.

"Oh no!!! I've been robbed!!! Baby, help me!!!"

The moment his older brother fell to the ground, a near-tearful scream came through the voice chat. The panic in that voice contrasted sharply with the composure he had displayed while giving orders. Jiang Chen almost burst out laughing.

The young wife reacted quickly. Hearing her brother's scream, she rushed forward without hesitation, spraying bullets at the person coming out of the side door with her M7. Although her accuracy was average, the M7's high damage in the current version, with its advantage of hitting the chest and abdomen simultaneously, was fully demonstrated in this close-to-medium-range gunfight, and she managed to take down the man.

"Killed! Killed!" the young wife shouted excitedly, then immediately ran over to help her older brother.

"Good, good, baby, you're amazing!" After being helped up, the older brother's tone immediately returned to its usual calm and composed manner, as if the scream just now hadn't come from him. "That guy was too cunning. I could definitely beat him in a normal gunfight, but he stole from me."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen silently rolled his eyes: You think you can beat him in a normal gunfight? You missed both of your AWM shots, and your speed in switching to your M7 is slower than the speed at which he can flank you. How do you expect to beat him?

However, he didn't say anything, and silently went into the dormitory through the stairwell. There was still one person on the second floor, the one who had fought back from the window earlier. He had clearly realized that his teammate had fallen and was moving towards the stairwell, trying to retreat.

Footsteps came from above, getting closer and closer.

Jiang Chen stopped at the corner of the stairs, raised his AK, and aimed the sights at the top of the stairs.

The person on the other side appeared.

blah blah.

One shot, headshot, instant kill.

Before the person opposite could even see Jiang Chen's figure clearly, they had already collapsed on the stairs.

"Oh?" The older brother's voice came through the voice chat, tinged with surprise. "Not bad, bro. That was a good shot. You got lucky."

luck.

Jiang Chen's lips twitched slightly. Fine, luck it is then.

The three continued to advance, and the eldest brother kept talking the whole way: "There might be people here, be careful," "Stay close to me, don't fall behind," "When we encounter people, don't shoot first, let me go first," he commanded with great confidence and pride, his tone full of the confidence and pride of a veteran of fierce attacks.

His sweet wife obediently responded from the side, "Okay, okay," "I know," "You tell me how to hit him, and I'll hit him however you want," cooperating perfectly.

Jiang Chen followed behind, not uttering a word, like a transparent person.
