Delta Operation: Big Red Objects Mutate

"I knew Gao Tianyu would be there! He's the most promising genius our school has ever had!"

"Gao Tianyu is indeed strong, but why should there be both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang? In front of Yan Shen, he still has to step back a little!"

"Can you stop blindly praising him? Has Liu Yancai ever received a school-wide reprimand? I don't think he's ever done it even once."

"When Liu Yan was unknown, how many times did Gao Tianyu receive commendations in the news?"

"Dude, do you even have a brain? Did your son Gao Tianyu give that open lecture?"

"Exactly, what's the point of issuing a report? Ever since Yan Shen got serious, has Gao Tianyu ever issued a report again?"

"I choose Lü Xiaobu; he is the one everyone wants!"

"Pullback Dragon!!!"

The entire playground was in complete chaos, with some supporting Gao Tianyu, some supporting Liu Yan, and even some jeering.

Looking at the bustling playground, Liu Yan felt a mix of emotions, as if recalling his own school days.

Discussions, arguments, jeering, and teasing.

Ultimately, many years after graduation, if there is a chance to get together, everything from the past will be like fleeting clouds, becoming nothing more than casual conversation over tea.

Of course, perhaps more than anything, it's about secretly competing and keeping up with each other.

"Alright, everyone, quiet down!"

Unexpectedly, Principal Wang did not shout or yell; he simply spoke calmly into the microphone.

If students stand lifelessly in the audience during a competition of this caliber, lacking any passion, then there's no point in having such a competition.

"To those students who wanted to register but were unable to participate in this competition, I hope you will not be discouraged."

"During the match later, you can observe the other students' awareness and marksmanship, including some details."

"Also, this competition allows you to watch all the contestants, so don't just focus on your favorites! Take a look at the contestants from other colleges too!"

At this point, Principal Wang turned to look at Gao Tianyu and Liu Yan, who had arrived late.

I intended to follow the procedure and have the two contestants come forward and say a few words, but seeing that both of them were not very talkative, I could only shake my head helplessly.

It would be really embarrassing if I stood there for ages and couldn't even fart.

"Alright, teachers, please lead your students into the conference hall in order!"

Soon, the students on the playground were led into the teaching building and headed to the conference hall.

Only Principal Wang, Liu Yan, and Gao Tianyu remained on the playground.

Principal Wang waved to the two of them, signaling them to come to him.

"Although it's an individual competition, it still requires cooperation with people from the same school."

"As long as one of them can maintain their ranking and get as high as possible, that's fine."

"The competition will take place in Longbow Valley. I suggest you two agree on a meeting point and then work together."

Gao Tianyu remained silent as always, nodded, but when he looked at Liu Yan, there was a hint of calculation in his eyes.

"Then I'm missing a head?" Liu Yan asked, frowning.

Upon hearing this, both the principal and Gao Tianyu stared wide-eyed at Liu Yan.

What? A human head?

Seeing that the two didn't quite understand what he meant, Liu Yan explained helplessly.

"The number of people is already limited. If I don't kill him, I'll lose a head, and how can I get first place?"

Even Gao Tianyu couldn't help but speak up at this moment:

"You mean you're 100% confident you'll get first place?"

Liu Yan shook his head and said with a very serious expression:

"It's precisely because I'm not 100% sure that I can't afford to waste any lives."

"I'm sorry, Principal, quantum storage is very important to me, and I will not accept cooperation."

After Liu Yan finished speaking, he didn't give the principal a chance to persuade him and walked straight into the teaching building towards the entrance.

Others might not know who Gao Tianyu is, but Liu Yan had met him before.

Cooperating with him is like waiting to be betrayed.

Liu Yan did not feign cooperation; his immediate betrayal of Gao Tianyu after the reunion was only out of consideration for the principal's favor towards Fuji ECMO.

Watching Liu Yan leave, Gao Tianyu gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Before the principal could speak, Gao Tianyu snorted and followed him.

"Ugh"

Principal Wang sighed helplessly.

Collaboration among participating students is something most schools do.

But which of those qualified to participate isn't a proud and arrogant strongman?

No one, regardless of their background, would accept having to cooperate with another person to achieve a better ranking.

Principal Wang has also been through his youth, so he naturally understands this principle, but as the principal, it is still necessary to give the necessary reminders.

As for how they choose, that's beyond my control.

...

Conference hall.

Unlike the screen used for Liu Yan's previous public lectures, this screen was divided into 30 smaller screens.

This is also what makes the inter-school competition special; each contestant is followed by a military drone.

And the drone will start recording when the transaction takes place in the trading area.

At this point, the black screen gradually began to display images.

...

The third zone – the trading zone.

Liu Yan passed through the mist-filled portal and appeared in the third area.

Several portals appeared on both sides, and contestants from other schools emerged one after another.

Gao Tianyu also stepped out of the portal, glanced coldly at Liu Yan, and then went straight to buy guns.

"Iron Egg!"

Not far away, Fuji waved to Liu Yan.

"Brother Chicken, did you bring your gun?" Liu Yan walked up with a smile.

Fudge looked mysterious and then quickly pulled out a fully modified AWM from behind him!

"Ta-da! What kind of junk is the M700? We'll use the best!"

Liu Yan's eyes widened.

The AWM isn't expensive in the game, and everyone can afford it, but the biggest problem is the ammunition.

Before Liu Yan could speak, Fuji spoke first:

"I don't have many bullets here. I found some in the warehouse."

Fudge pulled five boxes of .338 AP bullets from his waist bag.

There are 20 shots in one box.

Even Liu Yan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

AWM bullets, you don't load them in 100-round increments, do you?

"Thanks... Brother Chicken, 40 rounds should be enough for me." Liu Yan took two boxes of ammunition and put them in his pocket.

In fact, 40 shots is already a lot, considering that players will also kill each other during the competition.

Logically speaking, 20 rounds would have been enough, but Liu Yan still lacked confidence in real-world sniper rifles.

"By the way, Brother Chicken, did you bring me Big Red... special items?" Liu Yan quickly changed his mind halfway through his sentence.

Fudge was taken aback. He hadn't heard the name "Big Red" since his father passed away.

"Of course I brought it."

"It's a pity I don't have any special items, and my dad didn't leave any for me either; he took them all with him. Otherwise, I would have gotten you a few more."

Fudge handed the small backpack containing the bust to Liu Yan.

"It's okay, this is enough. I can't fit any more in." Liu Yan took the backpack containing the bust and put it on his back.

"And this too, all the medicine has been prepared for you." Fudge handed Liu Yan a chest pendant.

"Brother Chicken...thank you."

Looking around, other contestants were still buying items at various stalls.

And he hardly had to worry about anything; Fudge had prepared everything for him.

As for the medicines hanging in his chest, Liu Yan didn't need to look at them; they were all the best.

"Are you sure you don't want the helmet and armor?" Fudge asked worriedly.

Liu Yan shook his head.

"No, it's too heavy and I'll run too slowly."

Chapter 61 First Kill in 0 Seconds!

"All participants are requested to proceed to the entrance of Changgong Valley as soon as possible."

Several officials walked over from the direction of the entrance to Longbow Valley.

"Go for it, kill them!" Fudge patted Liu Yan on the shoulder when he saw this.

"Mm." Liu Yan nodded with a smile, and then followed the crowd toward Chang Gong Valley.

After Liu Yan left, Fuji took out a competition ticket from his pocket and happily left the third section.

The entrance to Longbow Valley.

Unlike before, a huge sign was erected at the entrance this time, and judging from the material, it was a product of the third district.

"The selected areas for the Inter-School Elite Competition are off-limits to unauthorized personnel."

Judging from the appearance, it was to prevent other people from entering Longbow Valley, which resulted in not all the contestants entering one area.

A man with an imposing presence stood before the entrance, exuding an aura of righteousness.

"Announce the competition rules: In the individual sniper competition, it is forbidden to use any firearm other than a sniper rifle to kill other contestants."

"Including the use of firearms by Assara Guard soldiers."

"Non-prohibited special items may be used."

"The ranking is based on a combination of the number of kills and the order of death."

After speaking, the man stepped aside, gesturing for everyone to enter the entrance of Longbow Valley one after another.

Liu Yan glanced at them briefly and saw that, apart from one person who, like himself, was not wearing any helmet or armor, the rest were almost all wearing level four sets, with a small number wearing level five sets.

One of them, however, completely caught Liu Yan's attention.

The other person was carrying an AWM just like me, but the difference was that the other person was wearing six sets of clothing that were completely intact!

“You’re not even wearing armor. Asara’s soldiers will be the ones to kill you.” Gao Tianyu said coldly, standing next to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan turned to look at Gao Tianyu. The other was wearing a level 4 set, but Liu Yan noticed that Gao Tianyu had a level 5 self-isolation helmet in his chest.

"He's quite clever," Liu Yan thought to himself.

But it's of no use.

Everyone here is a sniper, and at the very least, they all use level 5 bullets. The margin for error that a level 5 helmet can offer is negligible.

"It's okay, I'll wear yours later," Liu Yan said with a smile.
