Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

So when they realized what was happening and got out of the car to use it as cover for defense and counterattack, Xiaoyu's three teammates had already launched a barrage of fire without hesitation.

As they got out of the car, Xiaoyu fired a second bullet, successfully taking down the second person.

In this situation, the remaining two were naturally taken care of by the elementary school students.

Looking at the number of survivors again, it has reached 17.

The second-to-last circle will shrink in half a minute.

The housing area is still within the circle, and they are quite lucky.

Other suitable places to hide, apart from the small hill north of the housing area and the small woods to the south, are all fields and flat land. The only options are to rely on straw mounds for cover, or simply lie down in the grass.

After a burst of gunfire from both the north and south, the number of people present dropped from 17 to 14.

[666, this girl's marksmanship reveals a kind of beauty that resembles artificial intelligence.]

[Bubble, let's find a strong player to rely on. Getting your account banned isn't so bad, it's a free game anyway, we can just get a new account. The most important thing is to get a chicken dinner.]

If you want to hear more of a girl's voice, just say so. Don't beat around the bush.

There are too many cheaters; this game is unplayable.

[A 20-year-old girl who can't use a rifle but hits every shot with a sniper rifle—can you believe it? I certainly don't.]

[Why don't we just let Momo watch the full replay later? What's the rush?]

"Let's finish this round first, then I'll save the replay, okay?" Bubble glanced at the comments and then said, "But let me add my sister as a friend first, okay?"

Okay, okay, I should add you as a friend.

[Only add game friends? I suggest asking on WeChat too, to get some benefits for the guys.]

[Didn't she say she wanted to do live streaming too? Momo, let her start streaming, and I'll give her a whole Helmsman account to play with.]

[Hilarious! He'll sleep with a complete stranger, but not with Momo? The streamer's about to get emo!]

I treat Momo like a brother. When you talk about feelings with a brother, why talk about money? That's too vulgar.

"I suggest you be a little more tacky," Foam retorted.

These days, the live streaming industry has long passed its blue ocean phase. To stand out from the crowd is harder than climbing to heaven.

Sometimes, you need both skill and luck.

Without the latter, there might not even have been a chance for fire.

Without the former, even if someone becomes popular once, they may not have the ability to maintain that popularity in the long run.

Like Momo, a virtual streamer in the gaming section with over 300,000 followers on Bilibili, there are about 30 to 40 "masters" on average each month.

If it's just from the gifts, she could get around three or four thousand from this.

In addition, she usually earns a little over a thousand yuan from editing some concise videos.

That adds up to a monthly income of around five thousand.

If she's lucky, she might get one or two suitable advertisements, such as promotions for anime/manga games, snacks, cosmetics, or clothes, and she'll accept them.

The majority of her income comes from advertising.

The price for a single order can range from four or five thousand to twenty or thirty thousand, depending on the client's needs and the complexity of the content.

Despite the high prices, she sometimes doesn't even get one order a month.

Sometimes it might take several months to receive a call.

Moreover, most advertisements require certain data performance; if you don't meet those requirements, you can only get the lowest price.

Bubble already has to stream for about 10 hours a day, and squeezing out time to record videos on top of that is quite tiring.

However, someone of her skill level is already considered to be among the top in the live streaming industry.

Although it's not nearly as dazzling as those top streamers, it's still relatively easy to support oneself.

With a relatively stable audience and fan base, her guaranteed monthly income of around 5,000 yuan is enough to cover her daily living expenses.

But to achieve her current level of fan base and income, she has been a virtual streamer for two full years.

If we also include her sporadic live-streaming career during her school years, it would take her about five years.

During those five years, he had almost no income for the first four years, earning maybe a few dozen or a few hundred yuan a month.

The situation only gradually improved as the number of fans slowly accumulated.

Bubble also resigned at the beginning of this year to become a full-time live streamer.

So when Xiaoyu said she was considering whether to make videos and do live streams, Bubble just smiled.

Outsiders only see the glamorous success stories of the livestreaming industry, unaware of the countless bones beneath. From afar, it may look like a beautiful snowy landscape, but upon closer inspection, one realizes that hell has more than eighteen levels.

"On the north hillside and in the woods to the south, there should be a whole team of fours." The elementary school student's calm voice rang out in the internal voice chat. "There are also two others whose whereabouts are currently unknown, whether they are lone wolves or part of a team."

"The circle has shifted south," Xiaoyu reminded her. "Our housing area isn't even in the circle."

"There's a reverse slope a little south of the housing area. We can go there and exchange fire with the people in the woods, but we need to block the team on the small hill first, otherwise we'll be caught in a pincer movement." The elementary school student seemed to be a seasoned veteran, not some rough-and-tumble hero, and he analyzed the situation quite logically.

You call this a primary school student?

[Anyway, she's much more reliable than Momo, which is really reassuring.]

[Read and learn more]

[So playing PUBG requires this much brainpower? Isn't it just about finding a patch of grass, lying down, and killing it?]

This child possesses the potential to become an emperor!

"So what do we do now?" Foam asked boredly, zooming in with his scope to look at the small hill to the north.

Several times I saw the figure appear on the other side, but it quickly hid again. I couldn't hit it and could only wait.

The elementary school student had a very clear mind and said, "Let's hide our car first, so the other side doesn't shoot out our tires."

"Then, while keeping an eye on the movements to the south, we'll trap the people on the small hill in the housing area."

"When the circle shrinks, don't rush to leave. Take care of the people on the small hill first, then take the car to the other side of the slope."

[The tactical strategy is clear; I suggest Momo latch onto this strong player.]

Leave the elementary school students alone; they still need to study.

In contrast, Momo's stupidity seems to emanate from the screen.

If you had this strategy in the first two games, you wouldn't have had to worry about winning.

"Shut up, you're all hindsight experts." Bubble said speechlessly, "If we listen to him and still can't get a chicken dinner, it's not my fault."

Got it, when in doubt, just shift the blame.

[Classic Strategy]

[This time, none of your teammates were swayed by your loli voice, right? I think elementary school students have incredibly strong willpower.]

[Isn't there another guy, number four? He said two words at the beginning and then fell silent.]

[If it were me, I wouldn't say anything either. These two girls have such beautiful voices, I'd be socially awkward if it were me.]

[They're probably already secretly applying glue!]

Don't try to pin your own mistakes on others.

"They threw out smoke bombs," Little Fish said. "They must be coming, right?"

"Watch out, get ready," the elementary school student said. "And be careful of those two lone wolves left; we never know where they're hiding."

Just then, a car drove up from the other side.

At the same time, the poison circle also began to shrink.

To avoid being directly targeted, the people on the small hill not only blocked the road with smoke, but also brought two vehicles to disperse their firepower.

Unfortunately, they never saw Xiaoyu's marksmanship.

With a sharp crack of a 98k, one of the vehicles had just emerged from the smoke when the driver and his brother collapsed to the ground, clutching their stomachs, completely bewildered.

Then another shot rang out.

Perhaps due to the rush, the shot missed the second driver and hit the car instead.

She fired her third shot as the car approached the residential area, finally bringing the driver to the ground.

At this point, the two cars, one in front of the other, each had only one person left alive.

The elementary school students acted decisively, rushing out of the building area, wanting to finish the fight quickly.

Brother Four and Bubble followed closely behind, quickly taking care of the person near the house.

The survivors inside the car whose driver was the first to be eliminated, seeing the situation was dire, quickly jumped into the driver's seat and tried to drive around the car.

Then came another sharp crack of the 98k, and the last person also collapsed to the ground, dead.

Only the car remained, slowly driving on until it finally stopped on the barren lawn.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! There's someone here!"

Suddenly, Foam, who was at the very back, rushed out of the housing area and shouted.

He fell to the ground before he could even fire a shot.

Moreover, Voldemort, who launched this sneak attack, didn't play any tricks; he took down whoever he could, and directly shot the fallen Bubble.

Although the elementary school student and Brother Number Four quickly reacted and took down the lone wolf, the fallen teammate could never be resurrected.

"Ugh! This guy! I've been holding out this long, why is he still hitting me?" Bubble sat at his computer desk, pounding his chest and stamping his feet, furious. "Are all young people these days so impatient?"

[Would someone with no patience have climbed all the way to your housing complex?]

[This is hilarious! I haven't heard any footsteps at all. This guy must have been climbing for ages.]

[He didn't die unjustly, but it looks like getting a chicken dinner will be a bit difficult.]

[Three against four, plus a lone wolf, we still have a chance. Anyway, losing one Momo isn't a huge loss, and the team is more mobile.]

[LOL, that girl's cheating anyway, what's there to be afraid of?]

[The moment she fired, the driver in the opposite seat collapsed. How can anyone play like this?]

"How did you die?" Xiaoyu ran out of the houses, just snapping out of her intense concentration, only to realize that one of her teammates was missing.
