《Picking Up Fragments in PUBG》


 Chapter 1: The Fragments That Others Can’t See

    "Little Jiang, hurry, the poison! What are you standing there for?"


    "Oh my, Jiang Siming, did you disconnect? Why are you running in the poison zone?"


    "Forget about this newbie, I''ll take Wang Zong to escape the poison first. Wang Zong, sit behind me, I''ll cover you from bullets!"


    ...


    Listening to the conversation through cheap earphones, Jiang Siming sat dazed in the internet cafe?, staring blankly at his computer screen.


    Jiang Siming had graduated from university three years ago and was working as a salesperson in a real estate company. Today, he was playing games with two colleagues and their team manager, Wang Zong.


    Compared to the other two colleagues, Jiang Siming''s gaming skills were rather poor; he was there mostly to carry ammunition as a medic.


    In fact, he wasn''t skilled in the game and didn''t know how to flatter, so his presence in the game was extremely low, almost negligible...


    However, at this moment, Jiang Siming''s computer screen hadn''t crashed, and the game hadn''t disconnected.


    It''s just that in Jiang Siming''s eyes, there was something different in his game screen.


    Jiang Siming saw a flashing white light inside in the previously visited "P City".


    At first, he thought he was mistaken or that there was something wrong with the screen, but after confirming multiple times, Jiang Siming did see it.


    "Hey buddy, do you see this light?"


    Jiang Siming pointed to the white light in the computer screen, which was quite bright.


    "There''s no light, are you seeing things?" he asked a friend next to him, also playing the game, but the friend shook his head and said, "No, what light?"


    "It''s this small white light, can''t you see it? It''s really bright."


    Jiang Siming couldn''t believe it. Could it be that there was something wrong with his eyes? Cataracts? Did he need Sharpeyes eye drops?


    "Where''s the light? I think you''re hallucinating, buddy. Hurry, run out of the poison, you''re about to be killed by it."


    The guy beside him kindly reminded him and denied seeing the light again.


    Jiang Siming felt puzzled. To confirm he wasn''t mistaken, he changed direction and headed into "P City." Soon, he identified the source of the light, inside a three-story building.


    This was already the third wave of poison, and there wasn''t a single person in P City; everyone had run out of the poison. Jiang Siming wasn''t worried about people inside the city, so he rushed into this three-story residential building with the flashing light.


    On the top floor of the third floor, Jiang Siming was stunned.


    A piece of white, musical note-shaped fragment floated quietly in the corner, emitting a bright white light, very conspicuous.


    "Okay." Jiang Siming casually agreed and left it at that.


    He handed over all the meds, keeping himself at half-health. However, he didn''t give away his 98k. It wasn''t that they didn''t want it; it was that they all had one.


    So Jiang Siming was lucky to keep a sniper rifle without handing it over. Earlier, when he found a Mini 14, they had taken it away from him.


    But unfortunately, this 98k only had a red dot sight, equivalent to a basic setup.


    In the past, Jiang Siming could''ve used this 98k as a celebratory firework, making noise but not hitting anyone.


    However, now, Jiang Siming was confident. Even with just a red dot sight, he could eliminate opponents!


    "I''ve spotted someone! Southeast, heading our way!" Colleague Zhou Qiang shouted.


    "Block them. Wang Zong, your shooting skills are the best. I''ll go ahead and distract them, you finish them off." Another colleague, Yuan Bing, began buttering up again.


    Jiang Siming was speechless internally, unable to understand how they could exaggerate someone who couldn''t even hit close range shots into a sharpshooter.


    But now, the enemies were approaching, so Jiang Siming set aside his sarcasm and quietly waited with his 98k for his prey.


    Soon, a fully geared team came from the southeast, but they were still a bit far away.


    When Zhou Qiang and others saw the opponents'' equipment from a distance, their expressions became solemn. The opponents were all wearing level-three armor!


    Moreover, one of them was wearing a striking black helmet¡ªa level-three helmet!


    "Damn! Their equipment is too good. This might be tough." Level-three armor could withstand many bullets; instantly eliminating them would be very difficult.


    Bang!


    At that moment, a bullet broke the silence, fired by Wang Jun.


    Unable to contain himself, Wang Jun thought he could eliminate one instantly and shot first, revealing their position.


    Zhou Qiang and Yuan Bing were internally cursing but obviously couldn''t say it aloud. They just shouted to start firing and joined in shooting.


    Their hasty shooting had minimal effect. They didn''t even take down a single person, allowing the enemy team to react and take cover quickly.


    It was evident that the opposing team was skilled; they handled smoke grenades and threw frags in a systematic manner.


    On the other hand, Wang Jun''s group was thrown into chaos by the precise grenade throws, with Wang Jun almost getting killed.


    "Should we leave? Wang Zong, we can''t handle this..." Zhou Qiang shivered on the ground, frantically using meds and suggesting to Wang Jun.


    "Okay... These guys are lucky with all the level-three gear they found. We''ll get them later." Wang Jun dropped ''tough talk'' and turned to run away.

 Chapter 2: Quick-scope!

    On the other side, where Wang Jun''s team had set up an ambush, there echoed casual and playful banter.


    "These guys are so bad, they can''t even camp and ambush properly, haha."


    "Leave these few to me."


    "Wow, Weishen, you''re overdoing it, training guns on newbies. I don''t care, I want a kill too. TNT''s health is halved, my heart aches..."


    "Don''t worry, I''ll leave one for you; I''ll consider your livestream impact."


    "Hehe, that sounds cool~ Brothers in the livestream, did you see that? Today, our team has a member from the professional team 4AM leading us. Betting starts now, how many kills will our team achieve!"


    "They seem to be running; I''ll take the lead."


    ...


    Weishen confidently took charge, feeling supremely self-assured against this weak team, as if those four opponents were insignificant.


    As Weishen charged up the slope, he caught sight of the last one, Wang Jun, leaving. He swiftly raised his M416 assault rifle.


    Just as he was about to open fire, a crisp gunshot exploded near his ear.


    And then, he collapsed to the ground.


    "Sniper! Northwest, on the mound!"


    The moment he was sniped, Weishen knew the opponent''s position and relayed it to his teammates.


    At the same time, he was taken aback. He had barely hesitated for 0.5 seconds, and yet, this person had instantly sniped him. Was it a lucky shot or a hidden expert?


    "Terrifying! So scary~~" The girl in the team let out her usual pig-like squeal.


    The other two teammates remained calm¡ªone deployed smoke while the other covered Weishen to heal him.


    The adaptability of a professional team was evident.


    However, to their surprise, the opponent didn''t bother about Weishen lying there. Another head peeked out from behind the mound.


    One of 4AM''s members, Xiao Xingmu, was about to shoot, but the opponent retracted instantly and fired in the interim.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    "Isn''t this funny? Didn''t even have enough time to scope in, instant snipe?"


    Xiao Xingmu sneered disdainfully.


    But just as he finished speaking, he seemed cursed, falling to the ground. The level-two helmet he had on with its camo skin shattered, leaving a bloody hole in the center of his forehead.


    The moment he peeked, Jiang Siming felt a bullet hit him, and his health bar instantly dropped by half, leaving just a sliver of health.


    Terrified, he quickly retreated, thankful that the bullet didn''t hit his head; instead, it hit his level-two vest, absorbing much of the damage. Otherwise, being at less than full health, he would''ve been a dead body.


    "Damn! Didn''t hit the head!" Weishen was a bit annoyed but felt it wasn''t a big deal; he had complete control of the situation.


    "As soon as you show up, you''re dead!"


    Just as Weishen finished speaking, on the other side of the mound, a head popped out, then rapidly withdrew, and another shot was fired in the meantime.


    Thud!


    A muffled sound as the bullet hit flesh.


    Weishen noticed that his level-three helmet had a hole in it, and his health bar was now only a fifth full.


    Startled, Weishen hurriedly crouched to heal himself.


    If not for the level-three helmet, he would''ve been sniped again just now.


    "Is this guy cheating?" Xiao Xingmu was suspicious.


    However, Yongyuan disagreed, saying, "Cheating disappeared a year ago; Bluehole and Tencent have strong anti-cheat mechanisms. Even if there''s a slight issue with an account, it gets banned instantly. Ninety-five percent of mouse macros get banned, let alone this instant sniping cheat, which has vanished long ago."


    After this explanation, everyone found it plausible.


    While they were discussing, the sound of the 98K rifle echoed again, and Xiao Xingmu, hiding behind a tree, fell again!


    Feeling a bit relaxed, Xiao Xingmu carelessly peeked out to locate Jiang Siming''s position and got hit by another sniper bullet.


    This time, before he could crawl back, Jiang Siming fired again and finished him off.


    "This is unbelievable!" Xiao Xingmu was furious, almost slamming his keyboard. Clearly, he was extremely unwilling.


    Weishen looked serious; his intuition told him that the opponent was a highly skilled sniper!


    "Why did he show his head so quickly?" Yongyuan wondered.


    "It means he''s low. I''ll cover you; you two rush him," Weishen said, feeling a bit embarrassed, anticipating what the live chat would say about their four-vs-one tactic.


    "Okay, I''ll charge with you," Yongyuan immediately rushed up without hesitation, and the female team member obediently followed.


    The two charged ahead, while Weishen covered them; the enemy was already weakened, and victory seemed assured in this showdown.

 Chapter 3: 4AM Team Wiped Out!

    Despairingly, the opponent''s head appeared again, instantly retracting, not giving Weishen any time to react.


    Moreover, every time the opponent showed their head, the position was different, and by the time Weishen adjusted his aim, the opponent had already moved back.


    This time, the target for the opponent''s quick-scope was Yongyuan, but luckily, Yongyuan was on the move, and the opponent''s shot hit the chest, not the head.


    Just as Yongyuan breathed a sigh of relief, the opponent appeared again like a ghost, a bullet flew once more, creating a splash of blood, hitting Yongyuan twice and leaving him severely injured.


    If it wasn''t for his Level three armor, he would have been down.


    "Geez, this person is terrifying, have we ranked up to high elo?" Yongyuan muttered while bravely charging ahead, feeling pressured and relying on Weishen to deal with the opponent.


    However, reality didn''t match their hopes. The opponent''s accurate quick-scoping appeared again. Three bullets took Yongyuan down.


    Frustrated, Weishen fired two shots but missed. Annoyed, he switched to his rifle, aiming wildly at the opponent''s hill, hoping for a lucky hit. Unfortunately, luck wasn''t on his side today; not a single shot landed and only managed to annoy the opponent.


    Treating Weishen as a minor nuisance, the opponent popped up and landed a shot, hitting Weishen''s Level three helmet. Weishen, who hadn''t fully recovered, couldn''t withstand it and fell, unwilling to accept his defeat.


    Only the female team member remained on the scene.


    "Waaah! Don''t kill me~~ Big bro~~~" The female team member''s pleading sounded cute but was amusing at this moment.


    Despite her wailing, Jiang Siming, calmly gave the opponent a bullet, ending the battle.


    4AM team, plus a well-known female anchor, all taken down by a stranger in less than a minute.


    "Little Jiang, why haven''t you run away yet... this..." Wang Jun was about to vent his frustration on Jiang Siming for not killing someone, but he glanced at the fluctuating information in the top right corner and stopped mid-sentence.


    Then, Jiang Siming heard sounds of chairs scraping from the other side of the internet cafe. Zhou Qiang and Yuan Bing rushed to Jiang Siming''s computer.


    "Jiang Siming, did you use cheats?"


    "You alone sniped a whole team? Is that for real?"


    The two tried to find evidence that Jiang Siming used cheats but eventually found nothing. Reluctantly, they returned to their seats, continuing their game.


    Jiang Siming kept on gaming, excitement lighting up his face. Not because he killed so many people but because he saw two of the four loot boxes dropped glowing!


    "Received fragment [5000 Credits] *1 (1/1), fragment quantity full, can be used directly."


    "It seems like only PUBG drops these? And there''s money!"


    This discovery delighted Jiang Siming. Skills to gain and money to earn; it was an unimaginable stroke of luck.


    He chose to use it, and instantly, a bundle of red bills appeared on Jiang Siming''s desk. He quickly stuffed it into his pocket.


    Jiang Siming was excited like a fool.


    He immersed himself in PUBG, spending the whole day playing. As time passed, Jiang Siming gradually understood the probability of fragment drops.


    Fragments would spawn at various points, but the chances were slim. After dozens of rounds, Jiang Siming only found one.


    Another drop probability was from killing! Fragments had a higher chance of appearing in enemy boxes if more people were killed.


    Chicken dinners could also yield fragments, but it wasn''t that simple; while Jiang Siming was skilled, he was often outmaneuvered, making it hard to win.


    Jiang Siming spent the entire afternoon in PUBG, and he got four fragments in total.


    Two fragments were gold and both Credits, totaling 10,000.


    The other two fragments were [Voice Actor Skill] and [Vehicle Mastery].


    Vehicle Mastery only required one fragment to use, but Jiang Siming still lacked one fragment for the Voice Actor Skill.


    By evening, Jiang Siming was exhausted and temporarily logged off to get some sleep.


    While Jiang Siming spent the afternoon collecting fragments, discussions about his previous sniper gameplay caused a stir in the streaming community.


    A well-known entertainment anchor on the Douyu platform, with millions of fans and a rising star in PUBG, Little Tuantuan, and a famous player from a top-tier professional team, Weishen, along with his two skilled teammates.


    They were wiped out by a random player, who used only a single 98K, and upon reviewing the replay, they found that the 98K only had a red dot sight!


    This discovery sparked heated debates among the fans of the two teams about whether Jiang Siming was cheating.

 Chapter 4: Unemployed Wanderer

    The debate continued until the evening.


    "Alright, everyone calm down. I uploaded this person''s account to the monitoring station this afternoon, and they''ve replied now."


    In the live stream, Weishen opened the reply email from the Fengxun Technical Station. In front of millions of netizens, the email astonishingly read: "Account shows no abnormalities."


    "Wow, this guy really seems fine, huh?" Xiao Xingmu stood beside Weishen, somewhat dumbfounded.


    Weishen nodded, muttering, "I never thought he had an issue from the start. Now that I''ve checked, turns out he''s a super skilled sniper."


    Yongyuan, standing nearby, marveled, "His sniping skills are even better than Gusun''s."


    "Enough about this Gusun. Let''s try contacting this account and see if we can recruit them to our team. We happen to need a sniper," Weishen focused on the ID "Ming," a fire igniting in his eyes.


    This year''s PCI is about to start, and their team needs a stronger player injection. PCI is as important to PUBG as the Worlds are to League of Legends.


    ...


    The next day, Jiang Siming arrived at the office as usual, but Wang Jun, Zhou Qiang, and Yuan Bing were late. They''d pulled an all-nighter playing PUBG and woke up late.


    They were unfortunate enough to be caught by the district manager, who gave them a scolding.


    However, Wang Jun shifted the blame onto Jiang Siming, claiming that Jiang had taken them out drinking last night, causing their tardiness.


    "Little Jiang, cover for us during lunch, I''ll treat you. Otherwise, you know the consequences," Wang Jun whispered to Jiang Siming.


    Wang Jun often made things difficult for Jiang Siming because his pretty girlfriend previously shown a strong interest in Jiang Siming, causing him to feel jealous.


    "Reporting to the general manager!"


    Jiang Siming stood up in solidarity. Wang Jun''s face lit up with a smug smile, but the next moment, his expression froze.


    "Report, I didn''t take Mr. Wang out for drinks last night. They stayed up all night gaming and were late by themselves. It''s not my fault!"


    "Jiang Siming, are you looking for trouble?"


    "There it is!"


    Excitedly, Jiang Siming noticed a white light in a peripheral area of the map¡ªa wilderness point.


    Spawned fragments like this were hard to come by. After dozens of games, one might not encounter one. Yet today, the first game yielded such luck¡ªan auspicious start!


    Ecstatic, Jiang Siming flew down toward the wilderness point.


    Meanwhile, in the live stream room of Douyu, another popular female streamer, known as Dumb Little Sister, who had earlier ascended as the top PUBG female streamer on the platform, exuded an active atmosphere.


    "Today, I''m on fire! Wasn''t my control of the M4 amazing just now? Let me tell you, I just secured sixth place, and this time, I''m going for the chicken dinner!"


    In the streaming room, through the camera, a beautiful girl who appeared innocent was speaking confidently.


    Who could have imagined that this sweet and innocent-looking girl was actually a complete tomboy, often embodying a strong masculine vibe? Sometimes she pretended to be cute and flirtatious, which led her fans to jokingly call her "old lady," "coquettish queen," "Douyu''s top stewardess"...


    Regarding her ''untrue comments,'' netizens didn''t believe her at all.


    "You win chicken, I''ll eat poop. Promise."


    "How did you get sixth place without any skills? A cowardly play!"


    "Are you and Little Tuantuan besties? Both blowing hot air."


    "Let''s have a betting match, and I''ll make you cry!"


    Seeing these comments, Dumb Little Sister felt a pang in her chest.


    "Alright! Alright! Don''t regret it, everyone! Bets are closed!" Dumb Little Sister angrily closed the bets.


    Looking at the betting results, she had received 5000 fish balls for her chicken victory, while over 600,000 fish balls were wagered against her.


    If she lost this round, she''d be cleaned out.

 Chapter 5: Voice Actor Skill

    To fulfill her promise, Dumb Little Sister abandoned those city areas.


    She even decisively gave up the wild areas near the city and targeted a distant, small, wild spot.


    "Tsk tsk, so timid."


    "It''s alright, it''s just a bit of struggle."


    "Am I seeing this right? Are there really others in such a remote place?"


    "Haha, indeed! Someone''s heading there too!"


    "Dumb Little Sister, you''re in trouble. Congratulations on truly getting the first place, but in reverse."


    Dumb Little Sister saw it too, but she was in a difficult situation; being almost there, she couldn''t change direction.


    There was only this one wild area nearby. If she changed now, she''d end up in an open field, vulnerable to attacks.


    "Screw it! I won''t believe it. Alone, I can still handle it!"


    With determination, Dumb Little Sister bravely jumped down. There were only two rooms; she chose the larger one and ran in, hoping to grab a gun and fight.


    Unfortunately, luck wasn''t on her side. There wasn''t a single gun in the large room.


    Instead, in the small shack where Jiang Siming landed, there was an UMP submachine gun.


    She could already hear Jiang Siming reloading and coming towards the larger house, leaving Dumb Little Sister terrified.


    Quickly, she opened the area voice chat and pleaded, "Big brother, please don''t shoot me? I don''t have a gun! Wahh!"


    "Damn it! Old woman breaking the rules! Shamelessly acting cute!"


    "Hope this guy is straight and kills her!"


    "Oh my! This voice! So soothing!"


    "What''s going on? Did I just hear Natsume Takashi from ''Natsume''s Book of Friends''?"


    "No! I think it''s Mephisto Pheles from ''Blue Exorcist''!"


    "How can a guy''s voice sound so good? Not exaggerating, I''ve been captivated."


    Dumb Little Sister and her audience had the same thoughts. With a voice this captivating, especially from a man, she really had no resistance!


    For the show''s effect, she''d often interact with her audience, even joining guilds to find gamers with good voices. She''d heard hundreds of nice voices. ?


    But she swore that this was the most perfect voice she''d ever heard! It fulfilled all her fantasies about male idols!


    "You... can you say it again, please?"


    Shyly, Dumb Little Sister asked, but when she turned around, she realized the extremely captivating voice man had already left.


    Not willing to miss such a treasure of a voice, Dumb Little Sister immediately ran downstairs, looking for Jiang Siming''s figure.


    Seeing Jiang Siming about to leave, she ran over, not afraid that he might change his mind and kill her.


    Even if she were killed by the owner of such a captivating voice, she''d willingly sacrifice herself. The reward would be listening to him speak a little more.


    "Big brother, big brother, please don''t go~"


    Jiang Siming was a bit surprised; he didn''t expect this person to be a girl.


    "What do you want? I said I wouldn''t kill you. Go away, if fate allows, we''ll meet in the final circle."


    Ignoring her entirely, Jiang Siming ran towards the safe zone.

 Chapter 6: Sycophant

    Dumb Little Sister really followed closely behind Jiang Siming, never leaving his side, and transformed into a chatterbox, constantly initiating interactions with Jiang Siming.


    "Little brother, what''s your name?"


    "Little brother, is your voice real or are you using a sound card?"


    "Little brother, can I have your WeChat?"


    "Little brother..."


    Jiang Siming was annoyed by the questions, really wanting to mute the area voice chat.


    But every time, she persisted and he eventually gave in.


    While running through the game zones, they searched some deserted houses and shops. Dumb Little Sister had completely become Jiang Siming''s sidekick.


    Whatever she found, she would ask Jiang Siming if he wanted it.


    Her goal was simply to get Jiang Siming to speak more.


    This tactic worked wonders, never failing.


    Every time Jiang Siming replied, she beamed with joy.


    The old lady''s face blossomed with a spring-like smile, making her viewers get goosebumps.


    "Wow! Little brother, I found a Kar98k! And an 8x scope, here you go~"


    "Uh, thank you."


    Faced with the kindness, Jiang Siming didn''t refuse, simply thanking her.


    With a sniper rifle, he could kill more efficiently. This would also speed up collecting fragments.


    "Uh, then can you tell me your name now, little brother?" Dumb Little Sister tried to dig deeper.


    "Jiang Siming, ''Siming'' as in ''destiny'' and ''bright.''"


    After taking someone else''s goodies, Jiang Siming couldn''t ignore her any longer and told her his name.


    "Little brother, with a name that sounds so nice, you must be super handsome."


    Dumb Little Sister became a sycophant, earning laughter and teasing from the live audience. No?v(el)B\\jnn


    "Old lady, can you promise not to be a sycophant? Are voice actors good-looking? Don''t joke!"


    "Sycophancy ends up with nothing!"


    "Dumb Dumb , you brag so beautifully, but being a sycophant looks so pathetic."


    "Haha, who would''ve thought that mighty Dumb Little Sister would become a sycophant? Ha-ha-ha, eye-opening."


    Faced with the teasing, Dumb Little Sister felt a bit embarrassed despite her thick skin. Luckily, another player appeared, diverting attention from the topic.


    "Little brother, there are people driving across the street! Should we run?" Dumb Little Sister suggested, not wanting to fight.


    Because the view wasn''t from Jiang Siming''s angle, the specific aiming process couldn''t be seen.


    All they saw was Jiang Siming aiming for less than a second before pulling the trigger again.


    From the dusty Kar98k emerged a new bullet, sparking at the muzzle.


    Then, it zoomed towards the intended target!


    Soon after, another message popped up in the upper right corner.


    "Player [Ming] used the Kar98k to kill player [RunningBeauty]."


    The live audience froze for a second, then erupted like boiling oil.


    "Too fake, right? Two shots on moving targets? And in cars!"


    "Definitely a cheat! A lonely warrior!"


    "Wait, this ID looks familiar."


    "Damn it! This is the super pro who sniped 4AM and Little Tuantuan yesterday!"


    "Yeah, really! I was there last night, this guy is a pro. Verified by Weishen himself, and he even wanted to recruit the other person into his team."


    Viewers commented nonstop, and Dumb Little Sister naturally saw it all.


    "Didn''t expect little brother to be this good at the game... if I could add him on WeChat and play with him every day, wouldn''t my ears get pregnant? I could also cling to his thigh, get carried, wow!"


    Thinking of this, Dumb Little Sister decisively ran out, acting as a packhorse for Jiang Siming, bringing back anything necessary.


    "Little brother, which of these do you want? Take whatever! If not enough, I''ll go pick more!"


    Dumb Little Sister said confidently, as if she were the hostess entertaining a guest.


    Little did she know, all those items were obtained by Jiang Siming himself.


    "No need, bring the car over. We need to run away from posion zone."


    "Okay!" Dumb Little Sister obediently ran to bring the car.


    "Would you like me to drive, or should I drive, Brother Ming?" Dumb Little Sister asked gently, her tone surprisingly gentle and sweet, completely different from her usual self during live broadcasts.


    And she''d already started calling him ''Brother Ming,'' not finding it awkward at all, rather affectionate.


    Jiang Siming couldn''t shut her up, so he said, "I''ll drive. We''ll have to cross a bridge later, and there might be people blocking it. Good driving skills will be important."


    "Okay, then I''ll sit beside you and shield you from bullets!"


    Today, Dumb Little Sister had completely turned into a lackey.


    And instead of using a regular car, Dumb Little Sister chose the most unstable motorcycle.


    Her little scheme was immediately seen through by the viewers in the live chat.

 Chapter 7: Pro In PUBG

    "Usually, I dare not even touch a motorcycle, but now I dare to ride one. There must be something fishy going on!"


    "What''s fishy? This old lady just wants to hug someone''s waist!"


    "Upstairs, nailed it! Absolutely!"


    "I also want to hug the little brother''s waist~~"


    Caught red-handed by the audience in her little tricks, the silly girl chuckled, not bothering to explain, and drove the motorcycle in front of Jiang Siming, sitting obediently on the back seat.


    Jiang Siming, unsuspecting, took the driver''s seat, revved up the throttle, and the motorcycle sped through the island map, reaching a maximum speed of 150, the fastest it could go.


    It was fine on the flat road, and the silly girl wasn''t panicking.


    But she noticed they were about to enter a bumpy mountainous area, yet Jiang Siming maintained the speed.


    This was a motorcycle, the fastest vehicle in the game, but also the most unstable, prone to accidents that could be fatal.


    Newbies faced far more risks riding a motorcycle than killing other players.


    "Min... Brother Ming... Could you slow down a bit? The mountains are shaking..."


    The silly girl''s trembling voice cautioned softly. In real life, she would have been nauseous by now.


    But her voice was ignored by Jiang Siming, who didn''t ease off the throttle; it remained pinned.


    The motorcycle dashed into the forested mountains, evading one tree after another, left and right, maintaining high speed, and within moments, they reached the mountaintop.


    As Jiang Siming showcased his driving skills, the hearts of the audience and the silly girl roller-coaster with excitement.


    "Hey hey hey... Brother Ming, there''s a cliff ahead..."


    Seeing the imminent plunge off the cliff, the silly girl couldn''t hold back any longer and quivered.


    But Jiang Siming paid no heed, steering the vehicle towards the cliff and somersaulting in mid-air, landing smoothly!


    The acrobatics weren''t over; Jiang Siming rushed towards the infamous bridges on the island map.


    The two bridges in the island map were every player''s nightmare, always blocked no matter where the safe zone was.


    Blocking the bridges was a common strategy in every island game.


    Narrow bridge surface, long distances.


    Even on a motorcycle, it provided enough time for those blocking the bridge to target and shoot you.


    As soon as they set foot on the bridge, Jiang Siming and the silly girl heard the bullets flying towards them from the bridge''s end.


    Sure enough, someone was blocking the bridge!


    "It''s over, we''re done for..." the silly girl''s heart sank.


    Jiang Siming, however, remained calm, kept the throttle down, and continued to charge forward at high speed.


    This made the silly girl feel like she had been issued a death warrant. Stopping and seeking cover might have increased their chances of survival.


    Finally, a fragment appeared! And it was golden!


    "I''ll loot a package, you wait here," Jiang Siming instructed, heading down on the motorcycle.


    The silly girl blushed.


    Jiang Siming''s words not only sounded nice, but the content was also reminiscent of a boyfriend talking to his girlfriend:


    "Darling, wait here, I''ll go buy you some food."


    This made the silly girl''s heart flutter, murmuring softly, "Okay, Brother Ming, be careful."


    But Jiang Siming didn''t hear her words; he had already arrived near the body with the fragment.


    Upon opening it, he found the expected golden fragment, but this time, it wasn''t 5000 credits but a whole 100,000 credits!


    "Wow, I''ve struck it rich!"


    Jiang Siming laughed joyfully, immediately using it. On his gaming desk, ten stacks of red credits appeared out of thin air!


    Fortunately, they weren''t at an internet cafe?; otherwise, it might have startled others. In the comfort of his home, Jiang Siming didn''t rush to collect the money; he''d finish the game first.


    Casually replenishing some bullets, Jiang Siming rode the motorcycle back to the mountaintop to continue sniping.


    However, due to Jiang Siming''s aggressive kills, no one passed by anymore.


    After changing a few positions, they reached the final circle.


    The poison circle was now at its smallest.


    Apart from Jiang Siming and the silly girl, there were only two enemies left.


    However, the situation wasn''t ideal for the two.


    The motorcycle had run out of fuel, and they could only stick to the edge of the safe zone.


    Without any cover and being at a lower position, they were vulnerable to enemy shots.


    "Brother Ming, shall I go ahead and scout for you? You can follow me into the circle from behind?"


    The silly girl was willing to sacrifice herself.


    "No need, we can enter."


    Jiang Siming said, tossing two smoke grenades to the right, perfectly blocking the view from that side.


    "Let''s go, into the circle. Nobody knows our position from the left. Let''s sneak in carefully; nobody will notice."


    Jiang Siming took the lead in running forward.


    As long as they contained the person on the left, winning this round of the game was almost certain.


    The silly girl obediently followed Jiang Siming.


    However, just as the two were about to reach cover, the silly girl accidentally trembled and pulled the trigger, firing a shot.

 Chapter 8: Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

    "Uh-oh!" Both Dumb Little Sister and her audience felt a jolt in their hearts.


    Sure enough, the gunfire immediately drew the attention of people on both sides.


    Everyone on either side stuck their heads out, pointing their guns furiously at Jiang Siming and Dumb Little Sister.


    Jiang Siming''s health dropped by half instantly, taking two shots.


    However, composed as ever, he swiftly raised his kar98k and, aiming at the enemy showing up on the right, took him down with a single shot.


    "Player [Ming] used a kar98k to kill player [tiantian]."


    After taking down one enemy, Jiang Siming was about to aim for the left when he noticed Dumb Little Sister was left with just a sliver of health. One more shot, and she''d be done for.


    If Jiang Siming insisted on killing the person on the left, while that person would surely die, Dumb Little Sister would also meet her end.


    Slightly hesitating, Jiang Siming decided not to shoot for the moment.


    Instead, he sidestepped, moving to Dumb Little Sister''s left side.


    The final incoming bullet that should have hit Dumb Little Sister found its way into Jiang Siming''s body instead.


    Dumb Little Sister was puzzled. Why hadn''t she died?


    Turning her head, she saw a tall and sturdy figure shielding her. The sound of the bullet entering flesh felt especially piercing in her ears.


    She then realized that Jiang Siming had taken the fatal bullet for her.


    This sudden move deeply moved her.


    Dumb Little Sister''s heart fluttered uncontrollably like a spring bouncing inside her, unable to suppress her emotions.


    She knew Jiang Siming didn''t know her identity and even disliked her following him around and flattering him.


    It was evident that Jiang Siming was not the kind to act chivalrous just because a woman was around.


    Yet, despite all this, he had acted decisively to shield her with his body.


    In the live chat, even many male viewers who were initially jealous were left speechless by Jiang Siming''s manly gesture, let alone the female fans.


    "This act of shielding is so manly, so masculine, no criticism allowed."


    "He could have killed the opponent by lifting his gun, but for Dumb Little Sister, he gave up. Must say, very gentlemanly."


    "It seems like it was an instinctive choice because he had no time to choose. Just for this, buddy, I''ve become your fan."


    Jiang Siming, who got the potion, temporarily forgot about the game and took it right away.


    The sweet-like taste turned into electric currents in his stomach.


    Jiang Siming''s body began to crackle and pop, even his face began to feel pain.


    This startled Jiang Siming. Could he be disfigured?


    The changes lasted for a minute before stopping.


    Jiang Siming immediately took off his headphones, got up, and rushed into the bathroom.


    In the mirror, he found ink-colored mucus sticking all over his body, including his face.


    Not caring if he was disfigured, he took off his clothes and took a quick shower.


    After confirming he was clean, Jiang Siming came out of the bathroom, standing naked in front of the mirror.


    Upon a closer look, Jiang Siming was shocked.


    His height, originally 1.78 meters, had increased to 1.83 meters. The accumulated ''rich man''s flesh'' from not exercising had disappeared. He now had an eight-pack and a standard V-shaped figure. Even his legs had shed excess fat, replaced by new muscle tone.


    Even his ''little brother'' had grown several centimeters, almost catching up to the lengths of European and American men, oh...


    Though his facial appearance didn''t change much, there was a clear improvement.


    His nose was higher, eyes larger, gaze deeper, eyebrows straighter, and facial contours more three-dimensional.


    Overall appearance, improved by several notches!


    If Jiang Siming''s previous appearance scored 80, he had now skyrocketed to 95, just short of perfect!


    Especially his bright and cheerful demeanor, as radiant as the sunshine, and his vibrant, twinkling eyes gave him an entirely different charm.


    Feeling so handsome, he momentarily thought of entering the entertainment industry.


    However, he realized he didn''t have acting or singing talent, and being monitored by the public wasn''t something he desired. Plus, he still wanted to make money by playing PUBG; entering the entertainment industry would leave him with no time for gaming.


    Shaking his head, Jiang Siming stopped his wandering thoughts and returned to his computer desk, ready to continue his chicken dinner game.


    At this point, his game interface had popped up, back in the lobby.


    Jiang Siming originally intended to continue solo playing but noticed an ID in the bottom right corner repeatedly inviting him to play.


    This ID seemed familiar to Jiang Siming¡ªit was the girl from the last match.

 Chapter 9: Queen of Breakups

    Jiang Siming, who initially wanted to refuse, found that the other person kept repeatedly inviting him.


    In other words, from the time he drank the potion to the time he went to the bathroom for a shower, the other person had been waiting, at least for an hour had passed.


    The other person had been waiting for him the whole time, at least for the past hour.


    In Dumb little Sister''s livestream...


    Normally carefree and always smiling, Dumb little Sister had lost her smile.


    She hadn''t started the game, just staring blankly at the game lobby interface under ''Recent Games'' on the right side.


    Her mouse kept clicking and refreshing behind the ID ''Ming'', repeatedly sending invitations.


    She kept doing this for an hour, doing nothing else, just waiting for Jiang Siming.


    Even though many viewers in the livestream were getting impatient, she didn''t want to give up.


    "It''s been an hour already, are we playing or not? If not, I''m unsubscribing!"


    "Douyu streamer dazing in the livestream, making millions per month."


    "Newcomers look confused, asking what''s wrong with Dumb little Sister today, did she get upset by someone?"


    "It looks like Dumb little Sister has fallen in love, look at her eyes, they''re red."


    "Oh no, the old lady seems to be really in love, look at how teary-eyed she is."


    "Wow, breaking news on Douyu, the old lady fell for a random pro player ''Ming''!"


    Reading these comments, Dumb little Sister felt a bit uneasy.


    Internally, she was questioning herself, could she really like Jiang Siming?


    But she had only played one game with Jiang Siming, how could she possibly like him!


    Then why was she obsessively waiting for his reply?


    An hour had passed, and Brother Ming still hadn''t accepted her invitation. Did he really dislike her...


    Dumb little Sister, her mind all muddled, felt extremely aggrieved, her nose tingling with the threat of tears.


    Luckily, her best friend ran over at that moment and apologized to the audience, saying:


    "Dumb little isn''t feeling well today, so the livestream will end here, sorry everyone, see you later."


    But Jiang Siming, who didn''t pay much attention to livestreams, was unaware of all this.


    Playing games until the afternoon, Jiang Siming temporarily stopped playing.


    He went out to deposit the hundred thousand credits he had earned in the bank, transferring it to his dad''s bank card.


    "Son, why did I receive a transfer notification on my bank card, a whole hundred thousand, did the bank make a mistake?" Jiang''s father called, inquiring about the matter.


    Jiang Siming, enjoying the breeze by Huangpu River in Shanghai, leaned against the railing, smiling as he replied over the phone, "It''s true, Dad, I transferred it to you."


    "How did you suddenly earn so much money? Son, you didn''t do anything illegal, did you?" Jiang''s father asked suspiciously.


    Jiang Siming couldn''t help but laugh, saying, "Dad, don''t you understand your son? Am I capable of doing anything wrong?"


    "What about this money? Explain it clearly, otherwise, see how I deal with you when you''re back home!" Jiang''s father questioned seriously.


    Jiang Siming quickly explained, making up a reason, saying he sold a house today and this was the agent fee.


    This explanation dispelled Jiang''s father''s doubts, making him happy again.


    "Well, you don''t have to give it all to me, keep some for yourself, I''ll transfer it back to you."


    "No need, Dad, I still have tens of thousands here, it''s enough for me. You keep this money, spend it wherever needed. Sister hasn''t bought new clothes in a year, let Mom get her a few outfits. She''s almost entering high school, she needs proper nutrition. Mom also, she lost weight the last time I visited."


    "Don''t worry, Dad will use this money, or save it. You''ll need it in the future, whether for my marriage or buying a house."


    Jiang''s father talked about how even if the family was in difficulties, he still thought about his son''s future.


    "Marriage? Don''t worry, Dad, when your son gets married in the future, if the girl only wants riches, demands a house and car, I''ll immediately dump her." Jiang Siming half-jokingly said.


    "Oh, you can''t say that. If the girl follows you, having a house is expected, otherwise, how can you make her happy, silly child." Jiang''s father was very open-minded.


    "Don''t worry, Dad, if the money runs out, I''ll make more. Your son has that ability, so relax and spend it as you like."


    "Alright, stop talking, Dad knows how to arrange things. Hang up, the call''s getting expensive."


    After reminding Jiang Siming to take care of himself and rest well, Jiang''s father hung up.


    Actually, every time Jiang Siming called home, Jiang''s father would hang up first and then call back, just to save some phone bill for his son.


    This time, Jiang Siming decided to buy two smartphones for his parents when he went home and teach them how to use them, so they wouldn''t worry about making phone calls.


    After hanging up, Jiang Siming looked at the night scene by the Huangpu River, determined to work hard and make his family live a good life!"

 Chapter 10: Rich Woman’s Happiness Ball?

    Outside, Jiang Siming, who had bought an 18 credit beef brisket rice box for a late-night snack, intended to return home. As he passed an office area, he noticed a large billboard.


    It displayed "4AM PUBG team recruiting" in bold letters, followed by some recruitment criteria:


    Must be over eighteen years old.


    Minimum 2000+ hours of gameplay.


    KDA above 4.0.


    Average damage per match above 500.


    Must have a rank of 3000+ in Asia server and 4000+ in other servers.


    No bad habits, willing to follow instructions, and in good health.


    Preference for sniping talent.


    Offering a monthly salary of over 50,000, including meals, accommodation, tournament bonuses, and season-end bonuses.


    Seeing this recruitment notice, Jiang Siming was itching with curiosity.


    The conditions were fantastic¡ª50,000 monthly and everything covered.


    But he realized he might not meet their standards yet.


    His game account hadn''t clocked more than a hundred hours, his score was just 1200, and his KDA and damage stats were far below the requirements.


    Despite winning several matches recently, his stats hadn''t improved much due to the previous setbacks.


    He didn''t meet the criteria at all, and joining the team would mean daily training with team members, no flexible schedule, essentially obeying the team''s commands entirely.


    Having just escaped the hardships of regular work, Jiang Siming temporarily didn''t want to be under someone else''s control and left after a quick glance.


    Back home, after devouring the beef brisket rice, Jiang Siming cleaned up, took a shower, and was about to start gaming when there was a knock at the door.


    Opening it, he found the landlady.


    "Anything, Auntie Luo?" Jiang Siming asked with a furrowed brow.


    Auntie Luo was his landlady, but Jiang Siming didn''t particularly like her¡ªshe was too materialistic, stingy, and lacked empathy.


    At the first glance, Auntie Luo''s eyes nearly popped out, examining Jiang Siming with a leering smile.


    Meanwhile, in the Douyu live streaming room, the re-streaming Dumb Little Sister, now without her daytime dejection, returned to her "smiling" face and continued chatting with her viewers.


    However, each time she died and returned to the lobby, she couldn''t resist checking if Jiang Siming was online.


    "Maybe he''s not playing today," Dumb Little Sister thought.


    Suppressing her downhearted mood, she prepared to start another game but noticed Jiang Siming''s ID''s "+" sign lit up again.


    However, in no time, it turned off again, displaying that invitations weren''t available.


    Her friend noticed it too and quickly tried to calm her.


    "Dumb Dumb, his ID is famous on Douyu, didn''t you see the forums? Many people want him to play for you. That''s why he disabled the invites."


    Dumb Little Sister found this reasonable and reluctantly adjusted her mood to continue her live stream.


    Jiang Siming became serious as he entered the game.


    Since this game became his cradle for fulfilling dreams and aspirations, he couldn''t treat it like any other game.


    Though he currently had no plans to join a professional team, Jiang Siming still hoped to elevate his rank¡ªmaybe higher ranks had a better chance of getting item drops.


    This time, it was a small map¡ªthe newly released Sanhok map.


    Jiang Siming looked around in the sky but didn''t spot any loot crates.


    But he didn''t lose hope and flew towards Bootcamp.


    Bootcamp was the most terrifying spot on the small map, with more than twenty players dropping on average every round, as bloody as the airport.


    Many people dropped there, either getting killed on landing or ambushed by others, earning it the name Bootcamp¡ªthe place where one "trains" themselves.


    When parachuting, Jiang Siming realized his parachuting skills were awful; others had already landed while he was still in the air.


    Although he wanted to rush to the central building for weapons, others who landed earlier already had guns, making it a suicide mission.


    Helpless, Jiang Siming landed in a deep trench near the building.


    Slow parachuting often resulted in a halfway loss in the game.


    Sighing, Jiang Siming thought he needed to check parachute techniques in his free time; otherwise, all his skills would be useless.

 Chapter 11: Skills Skyrocketed

    Fortunately, the small map was well-equipped. He searched only one trench in the ditch and found an AK rifle, paired with a Level 1 helmet and armor.


    Even though he lacked a scope, Jiang Siming didn''t care. He ran out of the trench, ready to kill!


    The first enemy he encountered had just finished searching. The dark-faced man seemed delighted with the loot he found, imagining himself in a thrilling combat scene.


    "Arriving just in time. Let me show you what I''m capable of!" Jiang Siming said.


    The dark-faced man, unaware that death was approaching, aimed his gun full of fighting spirit as he met Jiang Siming.


    To his surprise, before he could even pull the trigger, a bullet from Jiang Siming''s AK took him out. It was a single shot, effortless and casual.


    Looking at the ground, there were no scraps. Jiang Siming picked up some ammo and took his armor, which was in good condition.


    Continuing the search for enemies, as soon as he stepped out of the trench, there was the sound of an M4 from the central building. Someone was already ambushed there.


    Jiang Siming took two shots but, with his armor, didn''t lose much health.


    There was no panic. He turned back and quickly eliminated the ambusher at the window with a headshot.


    Ding!


    A bright light flashed! A white-colored fragment shone from the window.


    Jiang Siming was delighted. He rushed upstairs and picked up the white fragment.


    "Picked up ''Parachute Mastery'' *1 (1/1), fragment count is full, can be used directly."


    Great! A pillow arrives when he''s about to doze off!


    But before he could fully celebrate, while he was stunned looking at the fragment, someone sneaked in and attacked him, leaving him lying in a pool of blood.


    Jiang Siming wasn''t upset. He happily clicked to start another round!


    Back in the small map, without hesitation, he continued to jump toward the Bootcamp. n?vel.co?


    This time, being proficient in parachuting, he was three seconds faster than the fastest passerby.


    On average, he was about five seconds faster than others.


    This discovery thrilled Jiang Siming. Five seconds! That was enough time for him to do many things!


    The fastest passerby landed at the same target as Jiang Siming and was nearly scared out of their wits when they saw him.


    "Wrnd! How did this person parachute so fast?" Renowned Tiger Teeth streamer, Dragonwind, looked at Jiang Siming on the screen and even swore.


    As soon as he landed, a barrage of bullets turned him into a square-shaped box.


    "Player ''Ming'' used QBZ to kill player ''huya_lflong.''"


    "Wow, what''s up with this guy? Parachuting so fast! I barely landed, and he''s already picked up a gun and loaded it. How is this fair!"


    Though he complained, he had to exit the game and start over. This round was not a good gaming experience...


    In the Bootcamp , a white light, a green light, and a golden light appeared, making Jiang Siming ecstatic.


    "Picked up ''Reaction Speed Talent'' *1 (1/4), the number of fragments is not full, cannot be used temporarily."


    "Picked up ''Win94 Mastery'' *1 (1/1), the number of fragments is full, can be used directly."


    "Picked up ''10000 Credit'' *1 (1/1), the number of fragments is full, can be used directly."


    One was the Win94 Mastery, an ignored sniper rifle.


    The other, the Reaction Speed Talent, a green fragment, required four pieces to synthesize, something Jiang Siming couldn''t use at the moment.


    However, when he gathered enough, Jiang Siming believed his skills would certainly improve.


    Many times, Jiang Siming died because he was ambushed, couldn''t react in time, regretting his demise.


    His gaming reaction speed was average, but with enhancement, Jiang Siming believed his chance of winning would double.


    Jiang Siming noticed that most white fragments were skill-based, while gold ones were monetary, which was more common.


    Rarer were the green ones like ''Reaction Talent'' and the purple ones like ''Primary Gene Potion''.


    Coming out of the Bootcamp, Jiang Siming was as rich as a landlord''s silly son.


    This round was lucky; he didn''t encounter tricky opponents and eventually won the chicken dinner! 18 kills!


    After the chicken dinner, he got another ''Reaction Speed Talent'' green fragment and happily started the next round.


    The entire night, Jiang Siming was buried in various maps of PUBG.


    Almost like being enchanted, in nearly ten games, he managed to win in half of them!


    Aside from being ambushed, only the circle of poison, being besieged, or poor vision resulting in not seeing opponents led to Jiang Siming''s death.


    Throughout the night, Jiang Siming won a total of 9 chicken dinners.


    He obtained 3 white fragments, 4 gold fragments, 1 red fragment, and 1 green fragment.


    All the gold fragments were money, totaling 10,000 credits.


    The white fragments were ''Mastery of All PUBG Maps'', ''Grenade Mastery'', ''Fist Mastery'', and ''SKS Mastery'', all game skills.


    The green one was still ''Reaction Speed Talent'', and Jiang Siming had three pieces, only lacking the last one!


    The last one was a red fragment, the first time it appeared, surprisingly, it was ''Vocal Talent'', but this piece required 5 to unlock.


    In summary, Jiang Siming had a fruitful night.


    Moreover, after the genetic potion modification, Jiang Siming''s physical condition was excellent. Even if he stayed up all night, he remained energetic.


    While hesitating whether to sleep or continue gaming, Jiang Siming heard a knock at the door from outside.

 Chapter 12: The New Tenant

    Jiang Siming stood up and ran to open the door.


    A slender figure stood at the door.


    The appearance made Jiang Siming''s eyes light up.


    As if seeing the girl next door described in a novel.


    Her appearance did not belong to the stunning type, but it was very pleasant to look at.


    A face full of collagen, lightly colored eyebrows showing a natural crescent shape.


    Clear eyes, lips without lipstick but with a hint of light pink, tender like new shoots.


    The hairstyle is a simple bob, very short, only reaching the neck.


    The hair buns on both sides are combed behind the ears, revealing a white neck and elastic ears.


    The figure is small, not tall, only about 1.65 meters.


    But full of vitality!


    This kind of girl only appeared in the high school classroom, the fantasy of first love in novels and comics.


    Jiang Siming felt that she was enough to surpass Shen Jiayi in the movie "You Are the Apple of My Eye". If she came to film, she would be at least ten times more beautiful than Chen Yanxi.


    The girl carried a large guitar on her back and dragged two heavy suitcases in her hand.


    Before Jiang Siming opened the door, the girl was still whispering with the landlady Luo Jie.


    "Auntie landlady, let''s agree in advance, I haven''t decided on this room yet. If my neighbor is too... that, I will consider changing places."


    "Rest assured, girl, Auntie won''t deceive you. This young man has been living with me for more than a year. He is very nice. Several tenants who shared a room with him have praised him."


    Snap.


    The door opened, and the two people''s conversation ended here.


    The girl looked up at Jiang Siming, and in an instant, the psychological defense she had built collapsed.


    "How can this guy... be so handsome..."


    A slight blush appeared on the fair face of the girl.


    No one doesn''t love beauty. Men like beautiful women, and women also like good-looking men.


    This principle is universally applicable, but everyone''s attitude towards appearance is different.


    Jiang Siming rolled his eyes, already knowing this ''bloodsucker''s'' nature.


    "What''s wrong? Is something not right?" The girl looked puzzled at Jiang Siming''s expression.


    "My rent is 2000 a month."


    "Wow! That''s so much cheaper!"


    The girl showed a distressed expression, but after a few seconds, she put on a smile.


    "Never mind, consider it a lesson learned. Sometimes, spending money brings fortune."


    Defeated by the girl''s optimistic spirit, Jiang Siming didn''t say anything. He just nodded politely and offered, "You have so many things, need any help?"


    "No, no, I can manage on my own."


    Jiang Siming nodded and turned to go back to his room for some rest.


    "Oh, by the way, I haven''t introduced myself yet. I''m Wang Xinyi, a junior at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. And you?" The girl spoke from behind.


    "I''m Jiang Siming, graduated from Fudan University three years ago, currently unemployed."


    "Wow, Fudan University! It''s near my school. I always wanted to get in, but my grades were too bad. Can I call you Senior Brother in the future?"


    "Sure."


    "Thanks, Senior Brother."


    Jiang Siming returned to his room, shut down his computer, and went to sleep. When he woke up, it was already dark outside.


    Jiang Siming''s stomach growled. He had intended to order takeout, but the sounds of cooking and women chatting in the kitchen piqued his curiosity.


    Perplexed, Jiang Siming opened the door and walked out. In the kitchen, he found two figures ¨C one was the new tenant, Wang Xinyi, and the other was an unfamiliar woman.


    "Xinyi, I really can''t rest easy with you living here alone. Besides, your neighbor is a man. You''re so pretty; what if he has some evil thoughts?"


    "Cousin, you''re too imaginative. He''s a Fudan University graduate and seems like a good guy, very disciplined."


    "Disciplined? He''s been sleeping until now?"


    "Well, that''s his personal matter. Don''t worry about it, cousin."


    "Oh, by the way, what does he look like?"


    "Uh... he''s... okay... quite handsome, I guess... (feeling a bit guilty)."

 Chapter 13: Register for Companionship Service

    Cough, cough.


    Jiang Siming coughed twice, startling the two girls who turned around.


    Wang Xinyi''s face instantly turned as red as a burning fire, and the spoon held above the pot of dishes almost spilled.


    "Brother, sorry if we disturbed your sleep. It''s like this, this is my cousin. She came to see me today. I wanted to greet you, but when I knocked on the door, you didn''t wake up, so..."


    Wang Xinyi was afraid that Jiang Siming would be angry, so she quickly explained.


    Leaning against the kitchen door, Jiang Siming smiled and said, "It''s okay, I overslept. My bad. You two continue chatting."


    "Brother, haven''t you eaten yet? I''ve made a lot of food. Join us?" Wang Xinyi said expectantly.


    "Yeah, sir, we were just about to make it and call you. My sister will be living here in the future, so we''ll rely on you a lot. Let''s have a meal together." Wang Xinyi''s cousin also extended the invitation, feeling embarrassed about the earlier suspicion of Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming, who originally wanted to refuse, saw Wang Xinyi''s eyes full of expectation and reluctantly nodded in agreement.


    "I can eat, but after eating, I''ll clean up. Any objections?"


    The two girls exchanged glances, both happily nodding. They respected each other and didn''t want to reject their kindness. They were also willing to take on household chores.


    Wang Xinyi''s cousin felt more at ease. It seemed that her sister''s neighbor was reliable.


    In the evening, Jiang Siming had dinner with Wang Xinyi and her cousin.


    Wang Xinyi mostly cooked, and her cousin helped a bit.


    The food was delicious.


    Jiang Siming didn''t expect Wang Xinyi to be so skilled. The sweet and sour spare ribs and corn soup were exceptionally tasty.


    With a hearty appetite, he ate three large bowls of rice. Fortunately, Wang Xinyi cooked too much, or the three of them might not have had enough.


    After dinner, Jiang Siming cleaned the dishes and wiped the table. The two girls wanted to help but were "cruelly" rejected.


    Wang Xinyi''s cousin stayed for a while, reminding Wang Xinyi a bit, and then went back.


    Wang Xinyi said goodnight to Jiang Siming and went back to her room.


    Jiang Siming returned to his own bedroom, opened the computer, and continued to fight in the world of PlayerUnknown''s Battlegrounds (PUBG) after being well-fed and watered.


    He was quite satisfied with earning 120,000 credit in one night.


    "No need, I''ll stick to gaming for PUBG only," Jiang Siming firmly declined.


    "Ah... that''s fine. But Mr. Ming, your PUBG ID shows a score of only 1500, with a KDA of 3.0. With this score, you can only handle low-end services; you''ll have to start from there," the customer service representative reminded him.


    "What are the benefits for low-end services?"


    "Usually, it''s 20 credit per hour, and the platform takes a 40% fee."


    A bit low.


    Jiang Siming hesitated.


    Hearing Jiang Siming''s silence, the customer service lady kindly suggested again:


    "Mr. Ming, your game score determines your companion level. I can''t change that. However, if you''re willing to accept other services like chatting, I can take the liberty of upgrading you to a gold-level service and immediately provide you with a recommendation. What do you think?"


    Jiang Siming''s voice was truly charming.


    The customer service lady knew that a voice like his, if used for chatting, would be extremely popular. Female clients would definitely fight over his orders!


    Even if she took the liberty to make this decision, the management wouldn''t blame her.


    The customer service lady waited eagerly for what felt like an eternity, and Jiang Siming''s voice sounded again.


    "No need, I''ll start with low-end services. I''ll only take gaming companionship for PUBG."


    Hearing Jiang Siming''s persistence, the customer service lady had no choice.


    She proceeded to verify Jiang Siming''s information and submitted the request.


    As a favor, she also secured a recommendation spot for Jiang Siming.


    Although the position was not prominent, the fact that Jiang Siming''s data qualified for a recommendation was already against the rules.


    "Thank you," Jiang Siming expressed gratitude, aware that the representative was helping him.


    "No worries, I really like your voice. If I need a gaming companion in the future, I hope you''ll take my orders," the playful customer service lady said.


    "Sure, your first order won''t have a fee," Jiang Siming replied with a smile.


    After ending the conversation with the customer service lady, Jiang Siming resumed his focus on the game. Since no one had accepted his orders, he had to play solo for now.


    Meanwhile, in the DouYu platform''s thriving PUBG live broadcast category, two female PUBG stars were vying for top spots¡ªDumb Little Sister and Little Tuantuan.

 Chapter 14: The First Order

    "Recently, Little Tuantuan''s live broadcast hasn''t been good. The main reason is that there are no new broadcast effects, and the old ones have made the audience feel bored."


    "It''s not that bad, but the content of a solo broadcast is somewhat empty. She needs a partner to create a fresh program atmosphere."


    "Before, she invited many viewers, but unfortunately, none of them satisfied her. Some had unpleasant voices, some had poor skills, and some were too nervous to speak during the live broadcast."


    "Then she found a male streamer named Chen Sogou to duo with, but he always treated her with ulterior motives."


    "He always tried to get closer to her and pursued her."


    "Even her fans in the live broadcast room were led by him, constantly suggesting they should be together, making Tuantuan annoyed."


    "Yesterday, she was even coerced by Chen Sogou to confess to her seemingly following the request of fans, which made her feel embarrassed, and it ended without anything concrete."


    "So today, she decided not to find Chen Sogou. Instead, she planned to try finding a boy or girl to accompany her and see how it goes."


    "Tuantuan, Chen Sogou is live too! Quickly invite him!"


    "Did you agree to his confession last night? Chen Sogou is such a good person and so considerate to you. Are you even human if you don''t agree?"


    "I''m a girl, and I would definitely accept Chen Sogou''s confession!"


    "Chen Sogou is already waiting for you! He said he has a surprise for you today!"


    ...


    Seeing the barrage of comments, Tuantuan not only didn''t develop good feelings, but became even more resistant.


    Suppressing her emotions, Tuantuan smiled and said to the audience, "Today, we won''t be pairing up with Chen Sogou. Today, I plan to find a boy from the companionship service."


    "Really? How will Chen Sogou feel? Are you trying to deceive Chen Sogou by looking for someone else? Are you putting a hat on him?"


    "Chen Sogou''s fans get lost! Tuantuan didn''t agree to be his girlfriend!"


    "Yeah, Chen Sogou''s fans make me feel disgusted. Support Tuantuan!"


    "Ha, women."


    ...


    Reading these comments, Tuantuan felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.


    She never accepted Chen Sogou''s confession, and even out of consideration for his dignity, she sincerely told him after the broadcast that she wasn''t interested in him.


    She never expected his fans to be so extreme.


    Although it was the fans who said it, if Chen Sogou himself could publicly state that their relationship was innocent, why would the fans be so easily influenced?


    Moreover, Chen Sogou treated her confession as if he hadn''t heard it, never publicly acknowledged it, and even intensified his pursuit.


    "Tuantuan found herself stuttering a bit. Was it because she''d been making too many pig noises lately, and her voice was hoarse?"


    "Yes, thank you for selecting my order. If you have any requests for companionship, feel free to ask, and I''ll try to accommodate."


    Jiang Siming didn''t know if companionship was done this way, but he just said it.


    "Can I ask you a few questions?"


    "You can, but nothing about privacy."


    "Is your voice real, or are you using a sound card?"


    "It''s real. My computer''s sound card is the default one, never changed."


    "One last question, can you really get four Chicken Dinners out of ten games? I don''t expect four, even one is fine. Can you do it?"


    "Yes."


    "It''ll be a 2000-point match; I''ll give you a secondary account."


    "That''s also fine."


    "Then it''s settled, let''s begin!"


    With each answer Jiang Siming gave, Tuantuan''s heart would skip a beat.


    This voice was just so soothing and pleasant~


    Tuantuan gave Jiang Siming an account for Chicken Dinners with a score of 2100.


    Having a score of 2000 is already quite high, and most of the people you match with might not all be experts, but they definitely know how to play.


    After logging into the account provided by the other person, Jiang Siming accepted Tuantuan''s invitation.


    At the moment, Jiang Siming had no clue about the other person''s identity or that they were live streaming because every time Tuantuan spoke to him, it was through text. He had no way of knowing.


    Simultaneously, he clicked on ''Start Game.''


    "Roar! The Chicken Dinner journey officially begins! For those new to the live stream, I''ll introduce again. Playing alongside me is a companion I found through BiXin, Tuantuan''s chosen gaming partner. His voice is incredibly pleasing to the ears! Ladies, get ready to scream, and gentlemen, feel free to be envious! Haha!"


    "Oh no, Chen Sigou is crying!"


    "Sigou knows you''ve abandoned him and is crying in the live stream!"


    "Tuantuan, you made our Sigou cry. You have to take responsibility!"


    "Why look for companionship elsewhere? These people who rely solely on their voice and have no substance in real life are useless!"

 Chapter 15: Very ’Mischievous’ Gaming Partner

    The chat rhythm started again, but Tuantuan, who already knew the tricks of live streaming, restrained herself from paying attention.


    "Let me reiterate, Chen Sigou and I are just friends. Don''t overthink it, the plane''s taking off, parachute time!"


    After saying this, Tuantuan temporarily ignored the barrage and asked Jiang Siming where to jump.


    Originally planning to mark a hot-drop location, Jiang Siming noticed a green flickering spot in the wilderness on the map.


    Surprised, he marked that spot, although it was a full grid away from the flight path.


    Seeing Jiang Siming''s mark, Tuantuan felt despair inside.


    "Why would he mark such a spot? He''s even more cautious than I am..."


    The audience laughed.


    "Hahaha, someone who marks such a spot dares to call themselves a pro with ten games and four chickens?"


    "Too funny, this guy''s voice is so pleasing, yet he''s so timid. I, as a girl, wouldn''t even jump in such a place."


    "Waiting for the box drop."


    "Should cancel the order, this guy''s too cautious. Can''t stand it. Better off finding Chen Sigou."


    ...


    Despite not wanting to land there, Tuantuan chose to respect Jiang Siming.


    The main reason she chose Jiang Siming was his voice; she never really believed in his gaming skills from the start.


    Both parachuted and landed at their destination. Strangely, Tuantuan noticed that Jiang Siming landed several seconds faster than her!


    When she landed, Jiang Siming had already looted an entire building.


    "Did I not pay attention and free-fell right after pulling my parachute? Must be it."


    Without dwelling on it, Tuantuan began looting too.


    "Picked up ''Reaction Speed Talent'' shard *1 (4/4). Shard quantity reached max, can be used directly."


    Great! Finally got a full set!


    "Use!"


    Jiang Siming finally acquired the reaction talent he had been waiting for.


    A surge of warmth flowed through his body and mind, an indescribable sensation enveloped him.


    Jiang Siming felt that before, he couldn''t even complete a simple whack-a-mole game, but now, he could probably smash any gaming console if he played.


    The wilderness was quickly searched. Both had poor gear; Tuantuan didn''t even have a helmet.


    Jiang Siming, noticing the gesture, knew Tuantuan was just accommodating him, so he dropped his level one helmet for her.


    "I dare not ask because I''m afraid I might meet all the criteria."


    What!?


    This sudden flirtation, combined with his charming voice, made Tuantuan admit she was blushing.


    The live stream room instantly buzzed with excitement.


    "Wow, throwing out jokes effortlessly? Impressive!"


    "Haha, trying to flirt but getting flirted back, Tuantuan, you''re not holding up!"


    "Little guy is so playful, love it, sob sob~"


    "If Chen Sigou had this wit, he''d have already won his beloved."


    "Laughing so hard, I slapped my Bentley and four Nanfu batteries popped out!"


    "Feels like Chen Sigou''s in trouble; this gaming partner has got some skills."


    ...


    The barrage suddenly returned to the main theme due to Jiang Siming''s two sentences, something Tuantuan hadn''t expected.


    This gaming partner is quite good; apart from not having seen his gaming skills yet, everything else perfectly meets her requirements.


    Tuantuan decided that if he continued like this, she would be willing to play games with him, even if his gaming skills were not top-notch.


    To keep things going, she wanted to continue exchanging jokes with Jiang Siming. However, she couldn''t think of anything funny.


    Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Siming interrupted her.


    "To the northeast, 130 degrees, I see someone."


    Enemy spotted. Tuantuan temporarily abandoned her plan to entertain everyone and focused on the game.


    Indeed, in a half-finished building in the northeast direction, two sneaky figures were hopping around searching for items.


    "Shh! Don''t shoot. Let''s sneak over. Don''t shoot, quietly enter the village, understand?"


    Tuantuan lowered her voice, as if speaking loudly would let the other side hear.


    Although Jiang Siming initially wanted to shoot directly, he remembered the customer aspect and agreed, considering the client''s gaming experience.


    The two stealthily approached the building with people. Midway, Jiang Siming was startled not by the enemies noticing him but by the female client, who was overly alarmed. After walking a few steps, she immediately shouted for Jiang Siming to crouch down.


    All these surprises made Jiang Siming feel quite ''painful.''


    Finally, the two approached closer, crouching on the left and right sides of a wall.


    "Someone has come out. I''ll take him down. Don''t move; cover the right side," Tuantuan commanded. She was used to these sneaky tactics.


    "Okay," Jiang Siming replied, showing good cooperation and remaining still.

 Chapter 16: The Umbrella King

    Soon, a burly character player dashed out from the abandoned building after looting.


    Just as they were about to call their partner to run, they were shot at by Tuantuan, who swiftly turned and fired.


    Bang bang bang!


    The sound of the M416 startled the opponent.


    Unfortunately, the title of "Douyu''s No. 1 Stewardess" and "Parachuting Little Fairy" wasn''t just for show.


    Despite preemptively aiming, Tuantuan''s shooting skills fluctuated between good and bad. This time, they missed most shots, hitting only once.


    The opponent was evidently a pro, considering the 2000-point match.


    Unfazed by the ambush, they immediately engaged Tuantuan head-on.


    The opponent''s marksmanship surpassed Tuantuan''s and ended up knocking them down instead.


    "Ah!!! Big bro, please don''t kill me!"


    The familiar sound of pig squealing echoed, filling the live broadcast with laughter.


    "Hahaha, terrible marksmanship!"


    "The Umbrella King isn''t just a title; Stewardess Squad is about to board another flight."


    "That shooting is terrifying; it could scare someone to death."


    "That dude must be thinking: Are you kidding me?"


    ...


    Jiang Siming didn''t hear the pig squealing. Seeing his customer fall, he swiftly emerged from the left, sidestepped, aimed, and shot.


    Bang bang!


    Only two shots were fired, and the opponent fell. Tuantuan was lucky not to be finished off by him.


    "Nice! Bro, you''re awesome! Quick, help me up~"


    Tuantuan was surprised; she didn''t expect this guy to be somewhat skilled, promptly coming to provide support.


    She didn''t notice Jiang Siming had only fired two shots, both hitting the head.


    Her sole focus was on surviving; her will to live was incredibly strong.


    "Hold on, another person is coming."


    Instead of helping her up immediately, Jiang Siming turned and rushed into the residential area.


    Just acquired the "Reaction Speed Talent," he wasn''t afraid of getting stuck, confident that nobody had faster reflexes!


    Seeing Jiang Siming run towards him, the remaining guy sneered.


    This wasn''t FPP mode; as long as he got stuck, he believed Jiang Siming was as good as dead!


    As Jiang Siming approached closer, that guy skillfully leaned out from the corner of the glitch point''s crate, ready to execute Jiang Siming.


    Unfortunately, Jiang Siming had shot off the opponent''s level 2 helmet, forgetting about it during the fight. So, he was still sporting an empty noggin.


    "Little brother, take this helmet. You saved me; it''s a thank-you gift."


    Jiang Siming wanted to decline but seeing the insistence, he graciously accepted and put it on.


    He didn''t like to politely decline with empty words, so since the other person offered, he agreed.


    Tuantuan was also very happy; she liked Jiang Siming''s personality. He wasn''t overly polite but respected her.


    This aspect was much better than Chen Sigou. One understood and respected boundaries, maintaining a reasonable distance. The other shamelessly got too close, used all means to flatter, without considering her feelings.


    The difference between the two was clear; anyone would make the right choice.


    After putting on the helmet, Jiang Siming also got a car left by the opponent here.


    The two got in the car to drive around while carrying out their strategy. Tuantuan''s mood was extremely high along the way; she even started singing for the audience, but it was through keystrokes, and Jiang Siming couldn''t hear it.


    Jiang Siming took on the role of the driver.


    This was at Tuantuan''s request; she knew her driving skills were more of the "road killer" type, so she didn''t plan on driving herself.


    Jiang Siming stepped on the accelerator, and the car raced away. They were driving toward the wreckage of an airplane, on a desert map with ups and downs, full of pits and sand dunes.


    Tuantuan was prepared for a few health drops, sitting ready for the inevitable collision. After all, it was difficult to drive in such a place, especially with a sports car with a very low base.


    However, to their surprise, the Ferrari, which had an extremely low base and couldn''t even climb hills, strolled effortlessly on these steep and uneven sand dunes under Jiang Siming''s control.


    Forget losing health; not even a skid occurred.


    The speed remained consistently above 110 miles per hour. Tuantuan even managed to take a painkiller during this wild ride...


    "Master driver!"


    "Wow, your driving skills are amazing! At least a ten-year driving experience, right?"


    "Seeing this, I want to slap my boyfriend who always drives recklessly when we play chicken dinner!"


    "These driving skills are as good as Dumb Little Sister''s ''boyfriend''."


    "Similar voice, similar driving skills. Could it actually be him?"


    ...


    The car suddenly slowed down when passing through an open area.


    "What''s wrong?" asked Tuantuan, puzzled, while leisurely gnawing on chicken feet.


    "Somebody''s looting an airdrop. Should we take them down?" Jiang Siming asked, after all, the decision to engage or not was up to the customer.


    "An airdrop! That''s a dream! How could we not go? Let''s go!" Tuantuan immediately put down the chicken feet and wiped her greasy hands.


    Jiang Siming complied, driving directly towards the distant airdrop. However, when they were about 300 meters away from the opposite side, he stopped.


    "Stop this far? I can''t shoot from here. Can we get closer?" Tuantuan said with a distressed face.


    Beyond a hundred meters, her sniper was practically useless, let alone at this three-hundred-meter distance.

 Chapter 17: Sudden Anger

    She remembered Jiang Siming only had a 3x scope on his SKS, while she herself had a 4x scope; how could he possibly hit anyone?


    "No need, they can''t escape," Jiang Siming said, lifting his SKS sniper rifle.


    Through the 3x scope, although the opponent''s figure was distant, they couldn''t evade Jiang Siming''s control.


    It was his first time using the SKS, a perfect chance to experiment on the two opponents across.


    Bang! Bang!


    Two shots! Instantly lifting the helmet of one, wearing only level 2 gear.


    "Wow!" Tuantuan exclaimed.


    Two shots, three hundred meters, using a 3x scope, and these two shots were fired in less than 0.2 seconds.


    With no time to marvel, Tuantuan quickly raised her own 98k, aiming at the other enemy with a helmet.


    This person, aware of the ambush, wouldn''t wait to be shot, thus started moving frantically.


    Bang!


    One shot, missed!


    Bang!


    Two shots, missed!


    ...


    Tuantuan fired three consecutive shots, not hitting a single hair of the opponent.


    Awkwardly coughing twice, then mockingly exclaimed, "Hit once, pretty devastating."


    Jiang Siming, watching this, didn''t expose her. Seeing the opponent about to escape their sight, he stopped spectating.


    Without watching any further, Jiang Siming swiftly adjusted his scope near the opponent.


    Slightly ahead of the person''s thigh, he fired four shots in quick succession.


    Those who''ve played Chicken Dinner know hitting a moving target requires shooting ahead due to bullet delay and gravity.


    However, these leading shots weren''t easy to land. Apart from practice, luck played a significant role, even for professional players.


    Unexpectedly, Jiang Siming''s four shots all hit the sprinting opponent''s thighs, each bullet finding its mark.


    Tuantuan could only see through the scope the person''s legs being peppered with blood as if exploded.


    Luckily, she adjusted her settings to green blood; otherwise, it might have been a bit nauseating to watch.


    All four shots hit, and the person fell to the ground.


    The livestream fell silent.


    Jiang Siming stopped in place, and Tuantuan stubbornly ran towards the zone without looking back.


    The zone quickly approached, but Jiang Siming didn''t move. The zone covered him, and he started losing health rapidly.


    In the lonely desert map, Jiang Siming seemed unusually helpless.


    Tuantuan, who had run far, found it strange that her teammate''s marker remained stationary. Just as she was about to inquire, she heard Jiang Siming sigh, then he left their communication platform.


    Subsequently, a plug symbol appeared behind Jiang Siming''s ID marker in the bottom left corner.


    This symbol indicated that the other person had gone offline, quit the game?


    Tuantuan was stunned; she hadn''t expected Jiang Siming to voluntarily exit the game.


    Moreover, within moments, a message arrived on Tuantuan''s mobile account, refunding her the entire partnership fee, accompanied by a message:


    "I''m sorry. Although I don''t know why you''re upset, I think it''s related to me. The quality of this session wasn''t up to par. Please don''t be angry. I won''t accept the money. Also, please don''t give me a bad review because this is my job, I need it. Thank you."


    Seeing this message, Tuantuan felt a pang of sorrow in her heart. She didn''t expect Jiang Siming to have such a resolute personality.


    Did she just scold him?


    But if you hadn''t used cheats, why would I scold you?


    I actually really enjoy playing with you...


    Jiang Siming''s disappearance left her unable to speak to anyone.


    Her fans sensed Tuantuan''s low spirits and rushed to console her.


    "It''s alright, Tuantuan. This is the right attitude towards cheaters. You did well, we support you!"


    "An cheater is still an cheater, being so fussy. He doesn''t like being criticized?"


    "This guy acts tough but can''t handle a few words? Let''s go give him bad reviews!"


    "Yeah, let this cheater learn a lesson!"


    ...


    Her fans were furious, and Tuantuan felt lost. She immediately said, "Please don''t go! This has nothing to do with him; it''s my own issue. Please don''t disturb others, I beg you!"


    At that moment, another YY account entered Tuantuan''s channel, not Jiang Siming but Chen Sigou.


    "Tuantuan, I heard you encountered an cheater using cheats for companionship?"


    Chen Sigou, seemingly ''kind'' and ''considerate,'' promptly approached.


    Ignoring him, Tuantuan, Chen Sigou continued ''kindly'' to comfort her:


    "You''re good in every way, just too soft-hearted. Such people need to be exposed. Think about it, if you hadn''t discovered it in time, when your account gets banned, your livestreaming career will be affected. So, we must disgrace him. Cheaters don''t deserve work. I''ve already told my fans to give him bad reviews. We must deal with this jerk!"

 Chapter 18: Tuantuan’s Crying

    "Sigou said it well!"


    "Nicely put! The whole family of cheater! Trying to earn money by cheating, pah!"


    "Sigou is real men. When you compare both sides, Tuantuan, don''t you see it clearly in your heart?"


    "Just checked the likes, the ratings have been dropped below 3.0. Haha, feels good."


    "Not just that, there''s a bunch of people below the comments, insulting him. How dare they bully our Tuantuan, thinking they can get away with it!"


    "This guy is probably crying in the toilet now, haha, feels good!"


    ...


    Seeing the comments from fans, Tuantuan immediately checked the likes.


    Sure enough, under Jiang Siming''s gaming companionship list, it was all negative reviews.


    Loads of abuse, even catching the attention of the higher-ups at Bixin, who immediately removed Jiang Siming''s recommended status and banned the account.


    Seeing all this, Tuantuan felt immensely guilty.


    Although Jiang Siming cheated, he didn''t cause her any harm.


    In fact, he had been very nice. Even when she scolded him, he didn''t resist or argue back, and he refunded the fees.


    But she completely ruined his work...


    Tuantuan felt muddled and conflicted, not knowing whether to feel sour, sweet, bitter, or spicy.


    Just then, a response came from the monitoring station.


    In front of all the audience, Tuantuan opened the email and was completely stunned.


    The email read: "This account has no anomalies."


    This was the reply from the monitoring station, with the chance of a detection error being one in a million.


    So far, no one had been wrongfully accused after being checked.


    Furthermore, Tencent announced that in case of a detection error, they were willing to pay ten million compensation to the account owner!


    When this news broke, countless hackers and cheat-making teams started acting, trying to create extremely hard-to-detect cheats to claim the ten million.


    However, sadly, a year had passed, and no one had received the compensation.


    No anomalies whatsoever. This meant the other party hadn''t used any cheats, not even macros on their mouse!


    The scene fell silent. The usually lively Tuantuan''s live broadcast was unprecedentedly quiet.


    From the broadcaster to the viewers, not a single person spoke.


    Finally breaking the silence was Tuantuan''s crying.


    After six months of live streaming, both old and new followers witnessed Tuantuan so emotionally broken for the first time.


    Always carefree, constantly cheerful and laughing, today she cried, and cried so sadly.


    The data seemed ordinary, even a bit low.


    However, what caught everyone''s attention wasn''t the scores or KDA; it was the ID name in the screenshot!


    [Ming]


    Many recognized this ID right away!


    Wasn''t this the rumored boyfriend of Dumb Little Sister, the sharpshooter known as the Sniper God that Weishen wanted to recruit into his team?


    This discovery was like a bombshell in the Douyu community, instantly increasing the hype.


    These past few days'' news on Douyu, all seemed to originate from one person, and that person was just an ordinary user!


    With a few stories combined, the hype naturally escalated.


    A super skilled player, Dumb Little Sister''s rumored boyfriend, Weishen''s recruitment, and now a voice actor heartthrob with Tuantuan in tears for him¡ªthese hot topics all stemmed from the same ordinary user.


    Suddenly, the ID "Ming" became the hottest unknown user on Douyu, even hotter than the previous incidents involving certain accountants or the boredom-induced fish fin theft.


    The other two ordinary users had long exhausted their means and were already languishing in trouble, relying solely on crazily gifting.


    However, "Ming" took a completely different path. His popularity was purely wholesome and positive.


    Even the higher-ups at Douyu couldn''t stay still, considering bringing Jiang Siming to Douyu as a streamer.


    If it were a tycoon, they wouldn''t be so confident, but given that the person was a gaming companion.


    If they offered substantial compensation, they believed the other party would likely agree, especially when they were willing to work for twenty yuan per hour.


    Dumb Little Sister, who was streaming that night, naturally received this news.


    She couldn''t ignore it because the barrage of messages filled her screen...


    "Old woman, your boyfriend''s been found!"


    "Old woman, your husband was wronged and lost his job!"


    "You''ve been down these past few days, now your boyfriend''s found. Aren''t you happy?"


    "Match made in heaven, your boyfriend''s bullied by Tuantuan. Go take revenge!"


    "Your boyfriend''s wrongly accused by Tuantuan and her fans, lost his job!"


    ...


    Initially skeptical of these messages, Dumb Little Sister confirmed it with her bestie, Erqian, who immediately verified it. She then checked the likes platform on her phone and indeed found Jiang Siming.


    These past days, Erqian, who knew Dumb Little Sister''s state best, noticed she was barely present, lost in thoughts, a walking zombie. Eating, walking, even going shopping with her turned into short-circuit episodes, a clear lovesick condition.


    Now, finding Jiang Siming, a long-lost smile returned to Dumb Little Sister''s face, but it quickly faded.


    Jiang Siming''s likes account had been suspended, leaving Dumb Little Sister unable to contact him or place an order.


    Thankfully, she was on good terms with the customer service at the likes platform. She managed to obtain Jiang Siming''s phone number from them.


    However, upon calling, she discovered that he was already on another call...

 Chapter 19: One Month of Booking

    To be honest, Jiang Siming never expected his first companionship business to turn out like this.


    It was going smoothly at first, but suddenly it went downhill.


    And soon, for some unknown reason, a bunch of people started cursing and leaving negative reviews under his gaming service order.


    As a result, Jiang Siming''s gaming service was canceled before it even began, leaving him completely puzzled.


    With his work ruined, Jiang Siming lost interest in playing games.


    Feeling a bit upset, he was about to go to bed when a phone call interrupted him.


    Upon answering, he immediately recognized the caller as the client he had accepted an order from.


    "I''ve already refunded your money. Why can''t you just let it go?" Jiang Siming was also irritated.


    Anyone would find it hard not to get upset in such a situation.


    Previously, since she was a customer, Jiang Siming had been accommodating, not wanting his work to be disrupted.


    Even though it was only twenty credits per hour, Jiang Siming was the kind of person who took his chosen path seriously and was determined to tread it conscientiously.


    But now that his work had been ruined, Jiang Siming no longer needed to treat her as a client.


    "...I''m sorry... I really didn''t mean to... How much do you want? I''ll compensate you, alright?"


    Tuantuan''s voice, no longer serene, sounded timid and pleading for forgiveness.


    "Do you think I''m all about money? Do you think having money means you can buy anything?"


    "No, no... I really didn''t expect to cause such serious consequences for you. Listen to my explanation, I''m a streamer, and here''s what happened today..."


    Tuantuan explained the whole incident to Jiang Siming, including her genuine thoughts at the time.


    She admitted that she acted out of anger because she did suspect Jiang Siming of using cheats.


    Only then did Jiang Siming understand the whole story. It seemed it wasn''t entirely her fault.


    "Although it was my fans who ruined your work, I have an undeniable responsibility. Don''t worry, I''ll do everything I can to make it up to you."


    "Forget it, let''s just say I''m unlucky. After all, I only took one order from you, so I''m not at a loss."


    Jiang Siming didn''t want to pursue the matter further; ultimately, it was a misunderstanding.


    It wasn''t her who sabotaged his work; it was those internet users who were influenced impulsively by malicious intentions. There was no way to hold them accountable.


    "Little Ming, your account is unbanned! I won''t tell you more. I''ll place an order. Let''s play games together again!"


    After saying this, an eager Tuantuan hung up, opened the gaming platform to find Jiang Siming''s profile.


    Unexpectedly, Jiang Siming''s account not only got unbanned but also got upgraded to a gold-tier gaming service, charging 300 credits per hour!


    Moreover, his account was featured on the platform''s hot recommendations, easily visible when someone accessed the gaming service. It was the platform''s compensation to Jiang Siming.


    Not just that, Jiang Siming''s account rating went back to a perfect 10, with numerous positive reviews flooding in.


    This genuinely made Tuantuan happy for Jiang Siming. She planned to place an order immediately and inform him about this good news.


    However, when she went to place the order, she was stunned.


    Jiang Siming''s services had already been pre-booked by someone else.


    And they booked it for an entire month.


    At 300 credits per hour, even if he played for just five hours a day, that''s nearly 50,000 credits for a month!


    "Who is this ''I''m Not to A'' person? How could they book a whole month in one go? What am I supposed to do now?" Tuantuan felt at a loss and on the verge of tears once again.


    Opening the account of "I''m Not to A," Tuantuan hoped to negotiate with the user.


    She wanted to see if the order could be canceled. She was willing to compensate the user in full, even double or triple the amount.


    However, to her dismay, the user had set up a "Do Not Disturb" mode, making it impossible for her to contact them.


    Casually clicking on the positive reviews, Tuantuan was surprised to find out that they weren''t from her own fans.


    While she did have some fans, she hadn''t informed them yet, so there weren''t many people coming to leave positive reviews and apologize.


    Most of the individuals leaving positive reviews had one thing in common...


    "The Old Woman Fan Club is here! Special visit for a marriage proposal!"


    "Ming, please accept the old woman! She''s got lovesickness just thinking about you!"


    "Following the call of ''I''m Not to A,'' I''m here to stand by Ming. Ming''s skills cannot be fake!"


    "Ming, the god, has been wronged. Don''t be afraid; our Old Woman Fan Club will always support you!"


    "The old woman said to help you clear your name, so here we are!"

 Chapter 20: Just Like Love

    She just remembered the news caused by that silly girl falling in love with a stranger a few days ago. She didn''t expect that the one she fell for was... Little Ming.


    As Tuantuan realized this, her heart tightened, as if something precious was being coveted and observed by others.


    "No, even though you liked Little Ming first, Little Ming hasn''t agreed to be with you. I still have a chance! Fair competition, I won''t lose!"


    Thinking this way, Tuantuan regained her confidence and prepared to share the good news with Jiang Siming. However, she didn''t expect Jiang Siming was also on another call...


    Jiang Siming truly hadn''t expected that within two days, he''d have two female anchors after him, and both were very popular.


    Just after ending Tuantuan''s call, he received a call from that silly girl.


    The silly girl also disclosed her identity and intentions. During their warm conversation, Jiang Siming couldn''t possibly reject her.


    She had even booked him for a month.


    Regarding this month-long commitment, Jiang Siming felt a bit troubled. Would he really have to accompany her for a whole month?


    "Brother Ming, don''t worry. Although I''ve booked you for a month, I won''t force you to play with me, or set specific times. I''ll pay for the month, as long as you can play when you have time."


    The silly girl was very understanding.


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Siming naturally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Thank you then. That day when you invited me, I had something to do and wasn''t at the computer. When I came back to the lobby after handling things, you had just logged off."


    Jiang Si Ming felt it necessary to clarify. After all, he had made the girl wait for him for an hour.


    "Really?"


    The silly girl was pleasantly surprised. She had thought Jiang Siming was intentionally avoiding her, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding and a coincidence.


    "Really."


    "Hehe~"


    The silly girl, relieved from her worries, felt extremely happy, and her sweet smile returned to her face.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    With a somewhat unusual feeling and the stealthy little secrets of a young girl in her heart...


    "Brother Ming, do you have time now? Shall we play a game together?"


    Regaining his lost companionship job cheered up Jiang Siming, who was originally feeling down. Seeing it was still early, Jiang Siming agreed.


    The silly girl, who had been away from her computer for almost half an hour, returned from outside to her live streaming computer. Her friend, Erqian, who had been covering for her live stream, immediately stood up to vacate the seat.


    "How''s it going? You seem really happy," Erqian teased.


    "Wow! Brother Ming agreed to duo-play with me!" The silly girl didn''t hide her joy.


    After three years of operation, PUBG was still popular, with the number of players in chicken-eating matches and LOL players in internet cafes being almost equal.


    In Jiang Siming''s world, PUBG''s anti-cheating measures were highly successful, combined with effective publicity and continuous updates to the game content. This made the game long-lasting and increasingly popular. Many celebrities also loved playing it.


    "Brother Ming, come and see quickly!"


    The silly girl called out in haste.


    Jiang Siming found her next to a utility pole. "What''s wrong?"


    The silly girl picked up a snowball from her waist and said to Jiang Siming, "Learn from me, switch to the first-person perspective, and throw the snowball at the utility pole!"


    Although he didn''t understand why, Jiang Siming followed her instructions.


    With a thud, the snowball hit the utility pole, and the snowflakes splashed, twinkling like tiny stars under the sunlight.


    "There are stars! Brother Ming, did you see them?" the silly girl asked with innocence.


    Jiang Siming chuckled and replied in agreement, "Yeah, I saw them. They look nice."


    "Hehe," the silly girl giggled happily.


    For some reason, all the viewers in the live broadcast couldn''t help but smile.


    They seemed to witness the budding of a beautiful love.


    The waiting time soon ended, and everyone boarded the plane.


    Over the snowy city, the aerial view was breathtaking.


    Jiang Siming was also immersed in the vast and beautiful snowy landscape. Unexpectedly, he noticed a red light flashing in a seaside location on the snowy map.


    "Let''s go here," Jiang Siming marked the spot immediately, and the silly girl naturally had no objections.


    Even if Jiang Siming pointed to the ocean, she wouldn''t hesitate to jump.


    As they left the plane and glided towards their destination, they found that the parachute technique had been updated. Holding down shift would now cause a vertical descent. The altitude and the distance to glide had significant differences, and landing involved a sideways somersault.


    This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of parachuting, making it more realistic.


    However, this posed no obstacles for Jiang Siming. Instead, he found it more manageable.


    The higher the difficulty, the longer it took for others to land after him.


    In fact, by the time Jiang Siming had already landed, the silly girl was still descending rapidly, her parachute not even open yet.


    If this silly girl were an opponent, Jiang Siming could make her die in the Nordic snowy sky without even opening her parachute.

 Chapter 21: Fight Between Two Women

    "Wow, Brother Ming, why are you always so quick when parachuting? Can you teach me?"


    Dumb Little Sister admired Jiang Siming''s parachuting skills, and it wasn''t just her audience in the live broadcast room; they all wanted to learn.


    "Ming, teach us! We''ll give you the old woman (Dumb Little Sister)!"


    "Yeah, Ming, please teach us. I really don''t know how to do this new parachuting technique."


    "Today''s update, the parachuting technique I was proud of is now useless. So sad!"


    "Old woman, quickly ask your man to teach us. We''re waiting!"


    "One Pair A, your husband is so skilled, let him teach us a couple of moves!"


    ...


    Seeing the chat of comments saying ''your man'' and ''your husband,'' Dumb Little Sister''s face turned red, but she found it amusing.


    "Brother Ming, my fans are also asking you to teach them parachuting technique. Just give them a few pointers, please?"


    Just because of those two fans who spoke so well, Dumb Little Sister stood up for them!


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Siming didn''t hold back and generously taught them the parachuting technique.


    He wasn''t afraid of others learning because it wasn''t something you could master just by being taught.


    It involved various factors like gravity in the game, landing speed, parachute control, etc., which couldn''t be overlooked at all.


    This difficulty level was no less than solving a doctoral-level math problem. Ordinary people might gain a second at most, and even top experts might only shave off an extra two seconds at best.


    However, nobody knew the difficulty involved, listening to Jiang Siming''s selfless teachings.


    The audience thanked Jiang Siming generously while hurriedly taking notes.


    "Duke [Angel''s Wings] gifted Dumb Little Sister''s live broadcast room a Super Rocket x1!"


    [Angel''s Wings]: "This rocket isn''t for you, it''s for the awesome Ming!"


    "Count [Brook] gifted Dumb Little Sister''s live broadcast room two rockets!"


    [Brook]: "Agreeing with Duke +1, just to thank the generous teachings of Ming God!"


    ...


    One after another, there were over a dozen live stream viewers sending gifts, from Super Rockets, Rockets, Planes, or even VIP subscriptions, big and small. R


    The total value was approximately around seven to eight thousand cash.


    Dumb Little Sister immediately reported happily to Jiang Siming, "Brother Ming, many people have sent gifts because of your generous teaching. They made it clear it''s for you. Later, I''ll transfer the gift money to you."


    Jiang Siming was somewhat surprised but gracefully declined, "That''s not necessary. If someday I do start a live stream, you guys can just come and say a few words to support."


    "Wow, Brother Ming, are you also going to start a live stream?" Dumb Little Sister was thrilled; this way, she and Jiang Siming would be in the same field and have more topics to discuss.


    "Oh no, is Tuantuan here to catch someone red-handed?"


    "Get ready for this year''s epic showdown, Douyu queen confronts her lover!"


    Tuantuan''s arrival disrupted the rhythm of the chat.


    Unfortunately, the anticipated confrontation didn''t happen. Instead, Tuantuan didn''t ''come to investigate'' but greeted everyone with a smile through the chat.


    Then, she gifted ten Super Rockets in Dumb Little Sister''s stream.


    Dumb Little Sister, seeing this, felt a bit nervous but still thanked Tuantuan with a smile.


    "Thanks to Little Tuantuan for the ten Super Rockets. Are these rockets also for Brother Ming? Don''t worry, I''ll transfer your gift money to Brother Ming later."


    Dumb Little Sister''s words carried a hint of asserting her authority, subtly showing off that she had Jiang Siming''s WeChat.


    The audience was ecstatic seeing this, as if they were witnessing a palace drama of intrigue between two women.


    Many viewers even grabbed their sunflower seeds and chairs, ready to enjoy this drama like a gripping TV series.


    However, Tuantuan didn''t accept the gesture and replied:


    "No need, I also have Little Ming''s WeChat. I wanted to compensate him with money earlier, but Little Ming didn''t accept it. This rocket is for you."


    Oh, wow!


    It''s getting even more intriguing!


    Tuantuan''s response carried depth as well: ''I have Little Ming''s WeChat too, no need to show off. This gift is for you. Don''t bite the hand that feeds you. You can''t touch me.''


    "Thank you so much! I watch your livestreams when I''m free; they''re so interesting. How about teaming up sometime?"


    Dumb Little Sister made a move in Tai Chi¡ªwelcoming without appearing aggressive.


    But Tuantuan was even more direct.


    "Sure, I''m free right now! Can you wait for me after your match? I also want to play with Little Ming."


    This...


    Dumb Little Sister was stunned, not expecting this fierce offensive from her ''rival.''


    The audience thoroughly enjoyed it, laughing their hearts out.


    "So entertaining! Hahaha, a hundred times better than those palace dramas!"


    "I can''t stop laughing! The showdown between two big streamers, every move is lethal!"


    "Old Women, don''t agree! She''s here to steal your man!"


    "Tuantuan and Dumb Little Sister are getting into it, this is really intense!"


    "Ming God must have some incredible luck, attracting two big streamers at the same time!"

 Chapter 22: Ultra Funny Aesthetics!

    Sun, a Douyu executive watching this live broadcast, appeared excited as if he¡¯d found a treasure.


    He seemed to envision a rising superstar PUBG streamer.


    Immediately, he made a call to his subordinate.


    "Contact this person, Ming, at once. Spare no expense to sign him! Change the originally proposed B-level contract to an A-level. If they refuse, escalate it to an S-level!"


    The subordinate was shaken; Douyu¡¯s contracts range from D to S levels.


    D-level contracts are insignificant, C-level indicates some fame.


    B-level contracts are for fairly popular streamers.


    A-level belongs to the realm of well-known streamers, typically with around 50,000 followers who¡¯ve purchased a fan badge, each costing at least ten dollars.


    Streamers with 50,000 fan badges typically maintain an average audience of around a million viewers per stream.


    S-level streamers are top-tier; currently, both Little Tuantuan and Dumb Little Sister hold S-level contracts.


    Their fan bases exceed 100,000, and their streams average around two million viewers.


    Above this, there¡¯s the SS level. However, within Douyu, only two people have this contract: the recently returned former professional player, the current streaming king PDD, and the remaining milk powder king, the eight-million-strong warrior, Xuxu Baby.


    Both of their contracts are double S-level, with fan bases nearly reaching a terrifying one million or more.


    Douyu¡¯s willingness to sign Jiang Siming with an S-level contract is an unprecedented exception.


    Initially, Douyu only intended to negotiate a B-level or at most an A-level contract with Jiang Siming.


    But after witnessing Jiang Siming¡¯s exceptional skills, executive Sun foresaw Jiang¡¯s promising future.


    Another crucial point is that Douyu hasn¡¯t seen a PUBG top player for a long time. Here, being the top player doesn¡¯t just refer to popularity but also requires top-notch skills.


    Although they¡¯ve brought in XDD, OMG, and 17 other experts, their skills are commendable, but their popularity lacking.


    After Weishen left, Douyu couldn¡¯t surpass Huya, which boasts 4AM¡¯s full team, in the PUBG scene.


    This is Douyu¡¯s pain, and Sun values Jiang Siming¡¯s potential, hence the unprecedented use of an S-level contract.


    ...


    Two minutes later, the castle returned to tranquility.


    If not for the scattered boxes on the ground, no one would have imagined the ferocity of the battle that took place here.


    Dumb Little Sister and Tuantuan, two girls who had been hiding by a castle wall, heard the absence of gunfire and cautiously asked Jiang Siming.


    "Is it safe to come out now? Are they gone for the moment?"


    After Jiang Siming¡¯s reassurance, the two girls relaxed and ran into the castle to search for items.


    The girls remained silent, but their faces, filled with admiration and hearts, betrayed their feelings on the other side of the computer.


    It¡¯s not that they didn¡¯t want to speak, but they were completely engrossed and hadn¡¯t recovered from the excitement yet...


    A total of ten kills, three squads, twelve people.


    Reluctant to give in, Tuantuan quickly turned to Jiang Siming with a request.


    "Little Brother Ming, how about I drive this time? I¡¯ve never driven in the snow before. I want to experience driving in snowy terrain."


    Without suspicion, Jiang Siming agreed, taking the third edge seat.


    "You!" Dumb Little Sister was frustrated. She hadn¡¯t expected this cunning move; it was so sneaky.


    "Chuckling~ Chuckling~" Tuantuan laughed like a fool, occupying the driver¡¯s seat without hesitation, with Dumb Little Sister behind.


    "Dumb Dumb, hold on tight, feel free to hug my waist!" Tuantuan smirked.


    Dumb Little Sister snorted, not wanting to hug her waist at all!!!


    Under Tuantuan¡¯s control, the three headed towards the airdrop.


    Though the journey was bumpy and nearly led to a crash, they safely arrived at their destination without incidents.


    No one else had reached the airdrop yet. Quickly looting it, they found only one MK14 inside.


    As Jiang Siming didn¡¯t know how to use this weapon, he gave it to Dumb Little Sister, who lacked a sniper rifle, while he held onto an SKS.


    Inside were three Level 3 helmets and three Level 3 vests. Both girls didn¡¯t move and willingly handed them over to Jiang Siming.


    VIP treatment in full display.


    Interestingly, there was also a Snow Ghillie Suit in the airdrop.


    Tuantuan took it, and after putting it on, she transformed into a snowman, happily emitting chicken-like clucking sounds.


    "Willump! I¡¯ll save you, Willump! I¡¯ll save you! I can save you. I can..."


    Tuantuan imitated the voice of the Snowman Knight from League of Legends, Nunu. Although it was funny, it was also surprisingly accurate.


    Dumb Little Sister was amused by her and started imitating Mundo.


    "Mundo not remember Mundo before Mundo was Mundo!"


    The deliberately ¡¯rough¡¯ voice couldn¡¯t help but make people burst into laughter, and the two girls laughed heartily together.


    "Little Brother Ming, you also try one."


    "Yeah, Brother Ming, your voice is so nice, give it a try!"


    With their playful behavior, the two girls even wanted to involve Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming replied, "I often feel out of place with you both because I¡¯m not silly enough."


    Hahaha... everyone burst into laughter, what a golden line!


    Unable to resist the ¡¯pleading¡¯ of the two girls, Jiang Siming could only indulge them.


    "Who should I imitate..."


    Jiang Siming thought for a moment and quickly came up with an idea.

 Chapter 23: Looting Mastery

    "I bloom amidst slaughter, much like a flower in the dawn."


    A deep and powerful sensation filled with a sense of killing intent surged, enveloping as if surrounded by a 3D sound system, where all around echoed 5.0 surround sound, real and incredibly breathtaking!


    "Wow!"


    Everyone¡¯s expressions turned baffled.


    Jin¡¯s original voice actor was Shen Lei, a first-tier national voice actor.


    However, now that everyone heard it, they actually felt Jiang Siming¡¯s voice was even better!


    But that¡¯s not all.


    "You, filled with poetry! You, embodying boundless beauty! This, is your... curtain call!"


    Jiang Siming¡¯s voice penetrated this frozen game map, echoing in everyone¡¯s ears.


    Especially the last ¡¯curtain call,¡¯ the surge of madness perfectly epitomized the kind of crazed killer that the Champion of the Show embodies!


    "This is insane, the voice acting monster is too terrifying!"


    "Outperformed Shen Lei! I suggest League of Legends hires Jiang Siming for voice acting in the future!"


    "I can¡¯t hold it, if I had a boyfriend with this voice, I¡¯d be insanely happy."


    "When I first came in, I thought Dumb Little Sister was playing LoL."


    "Strongly suggest PUBG to introduce voice acting, have Ming God do it, it¡¯d be explosive!"


    ...


    Tuantuan and Dumb Little Sister also became die-hard fans of Jiang Siming¡¯s voice.


    Previously, Jiang Siming¡¯s voice was pleasant, but his words were just everyday conversation.


    But this time, with a special program for voice acting, the effect was just incredible!


    "One more, Little Brother Ming, I really like Yasuo, can you voice one?"


    "I like him too, Brother Ming, one more please, pretty please~~"


    The two girls begged fervently; if it weren¡¯t for the distance through the internet, they would¡¯ve wished to cuddle up to Jiang Siming.


    "Alright, alright, let¡¯s have one more Yasuo, then we¡¯ll stop, okay?"


    "Yeah, yeah!"


    Everyone was once again filled with anticipation, waiting for the spa-like enjoyment from the voice.


    Jiang Siming took a moment to prepare and then started speaking.


    But as soon as he spoke, everyone burst into laughter.


    "Whispers on the wind speak of a masked swordsman with two blades."


    In FPS shooting games, it¡¯s all about the aesthetics of violence!


    The effect of the previous Funan Tuo¡¯er program was overshadowed by this vehicular destruction, and everyone¡¯s attention shifted back.


    Not bad, in the bodies¡¯ loot crates, there was a glowing white fragment.


    "Picked up [Looting Mastery] fragment *1 (1/1), fragment quantity reached maximum, can be used directly."


    Looting Mastery? Such a technique exists?


    But on second thought, for a skilled player, mastery of looting might indeed be indispensable.


    To test it out, Jiang Siming deliberately followed behind Dumb Little Sister heading towards the loot.


    Dumb Little Sister, excited to see what goodies were in the nearby crate, just as she pressed ¡¯tap,¡¯ she was shocked to find that everything she eyed disappeared in an instant.


    Trying to drag an item like a bottle of Coke, before she could move the mouse, the crate... emptied.


    "Is this a bug? What¡¯s going on?"


    Dumb Little Sister looked around suspiciously, seeing no one but Jiang Siming who seemed oddly as if he had just left her side.


    Looking at the gun in Jiang Siming¡¯s hand, Dumb Little Sister suddenly understood.


    "Brother Ming, did you secretly search through my things?"


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t reply, but Dumb Little Sister became more convinced. She laughed, hands on her hips, and scolded, "You rascal!"


    The audience¡¯s attention wasn¡¯t focused on the playful banter between the two.


    "What kind of looting speed is that? The loot crate is empty in less than a second?"


    "If it weren¡¯t for Ming God looting an old woman¡¯s bag, we wouldn¡¯t have known that the great god had this move."


    "Wow, how fast are his hands and reactions?"


    "As a fujoshi, if Ming God did something like that to me, I¡¯d probably be ecstatic... dirty, dirty, dirty..."


    ...


    While Dumb Little Sister was having fun with Jiang Siming, she received a phone call. After a short while, she reported the content of the call to Jiang Siming with an even happier smile.


    "Brother Ming, just now, the official Douyu staff called me, saying they want to talk to you about live streaming. Are you interested?"


    Douyu didn¡¯t have Jiang Siming¡¯s contact information, so they reached out to Dumb Little Sister to convey the message.


    "Little Brother Ming, you were thinking about live streaming, right? If you¡¯re interested, you can do it on Douyu. It would be convenient for us to play together in the future."


    Both girls had the same idea; working on the same platform would provide more opportunities.


    "It also depends on the terms. However, just now, the official staff hinted to me that as long as Brother Ming agrees, the conditions and treatment won¡¯t disappoint him," Dumb Little Sister said.


    Everything depended on Jiang Siming¡¯s decision.

 Chapter 24: S Contract

    "No problem." Jiang Siming was straightforward, admitting openly.


    He already had the idea of live streaming, so since someone extended an olive branch, he naturally didn¡¯t mind.


    "Okay, I¡¯ll give them your number. If you¡¯re free later, you can discuss on the phone, right, Brother Ming? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll keep an eye on them for you."


    Dumb Little Sister had the air of standing by her man, making the Douyu executives watching the livestream turn black-faced.


    "Please, you¡¯re part of our platform, shouldn¡¯t you consider our interests?"


    After Jiang Siming agreed, he quickly received a call from the other party.


    They agreed to meet tomorrow noon in Shanghai.


    In preparation for tomorrow¡¯s meeting, Jiang Siming could only accompany the two girls in a couple of rounds before logging off to rest.


    The two girls understood well and ended the broadcast together.


    Jiang Siming shut down his computer. It was already 1 a.m., and he wanted to catch a bit more sleep from the morning he had missed.


    After taking a shower, Jiang Siming walked out wearing only underwear, intending to return to his bedroom to sleep.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Wang Xinyi, who wanted to use the bathroom, opened the door and, upon seeing Jiang Siming, screamed and hurried back to her room, covering her face.


    "Uh..."


    Jiang Siming felt a bit awkward. He didn¡¯t expect Wang Xinyi to still be awake at this hour, so he was only in his underwear and was seen.


    "Sorry, Xinyi. I¡¯ll make sure to wear clothes next time."


    Apologizing towards Wang Xinyi¡¯s room direction, Jiang Siming returned to his room to sleep.


    But Wang Xinyi, who rushed back to her room, no longer had the urge to use the bathroom. She lay on the bed, her face all red.


    In her mind were images of Jiang Siming¡¯s half-naked body, and she couldn¡¯t shake them off, finding it hard to fall asleep.


    On the other hand, Jiang Siming, carefree, lay on the bed and quickly felt drowsy.


    He slept until the next morning.


    "Morning, Xinyi."


    As Wang Xinyi woke up while getting ready in the bathroom, Jiang Siming greeted her.


    Wang Xinyi¡¯s head quickly dropped, her voice small as she replied, "Morning," not daring to say much.


    "Uh... Gulu gulu... You seem to have eye bags. Didn¡¯t sleep well last night?" Jiang Siming, brushing his teeth with his big white smile, asked warmly.


    "You¡¯re too modest. Besides, I¡¯m not that removed from the real world. Having the opportunity to sign such a promising new anchor for the company, I should be thanking you instead."


    Zhao Xuan smiled faintly, adept at measuring her words.


    "No need for too many polite words. Let¡¯s get straight to the point. I believe someone might have briefed you on some contract details. I won¡¯t haggle or take advantage. Frankly, an S-level contract, ten years, wouldn¡¯t be unfair to you, right?"


    Saying so, Zhao Xuan took out a contract from her briefcase.


    In fact, she had three different contracts in her bag, each representing ABS grades.


    All prepared for Jiang Siming.


    Originally, Zhao Xuan planned that if the other party didn¡¯t satisfy her demands, she¡¯d try to settle with a B-grade contract at most, maybe an A-grade.


    But now, she changed her mind. Haggling might upset the other party, and if other platforms took advantage of the situation, it wouldn¡¯t be good. So, she directly presented the S-grade contract.


    Jiang Siming took the contract and examined it slowly, while Zhao Xuan didn¡¯t disturb him, quietly drinking water and occasionally glancing at Jiang Siming.


    No matter how she looked at it, she felt Jiang Siming¡¯s appearance was not fit to be wasted as just a star.


    Especially when he looked intently at the contract, that serious and focused look, it actually had some impact on her.


    "Impossible, men are not worth it."


    Zhao Xuan poured a bucket of cold water on her heart, and the strange feeling she had just disappeared instantly.


    After checking the contract, Jiang Siming looked up and said to Zhao Xuan, "The contract is fine, the treatment is very generous, I have no reason to refuse."


    An annual salary of ten million, with Jiang Siming getting sixty percent of the gift shares, and no specific condition for receiving gifts each month during his 300 hours of live streaming. For a newcomer like Jiang Siming, who had never done live streaming before, this was an almost divine treatment, transforming from an ugly duckling to a swan.


    This contract was entirely S-grade, the only difference being the contract¡¯s duration.


    Hearing Jiang Siming¡¯s words, Zhao Xuan¡¯s lips curled up, showing a triumphant smile, "Then let¡¯s sign the contract."


    But Jiang Siming shook his head with a smile, "But I still refuse."


    Zhao Xuan was taken aback, furrowing her embroidered eyebrows. The little fondness she had for Jiang Siming evaporated. She thought Jiang Siming wanted to greedily raise the price.


    "Mr. Jiang, you should know that this contract is top-notch in the entire livestreaming industry. What are you not satisfied with?"


    Jiang Siming smiled gracefully and replied, "Ms. Zhao, you misunderstood. I¡¯m not looking to raise the price."


    "Then what do you mean?"


    Jiang Siming pushed the contract back, tapping the clause at the end of the contract with his slender fingers.

 Chapter 25: Giving Up Meeting Face To Face

    Zhao Xuan immediately understood, relieved, and continued to explain to Jiang Siming.


    "Although the duration is longer, you should know, it¡¯s your first live stream. We¡¯re offering you an S-level contract, the risk is enormous. We need some peace of mind, right?"


    Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t buying into that. He wasn¡¯t the kind of easily swayed person who would fall for flattery.


    With his extensive work experience, he handled such situations effortlessly.


    "I know it¡¯s my first time live streaming, lacking experience. But that shouldn¡¯t be used as leverage in negotiations, or else you wouldn¡¯t have offered me an S-level contract, right?"


    "My value, for your company, surely after careful consideration, is greater than the lack of my live streaming experience, wouldn¡¯t you agree?"


    After a brief silence, Zhao Xuan nodded in agreement.


    Jiang Siming smiled and continued, "If that¡¯s not a hindrance, there¡¯s no talk of the risks you mentioned. Betting my entire career and youth for ten years, I find that inhumane, considering the high regard your platform has for me. Let¡¯s sign the contract year by year instead of a ten-year term, changing the S-level to A-level."


    Zhao Xuan was surprised. It was the first time she heard a streamer voluntarily lowering their contract terms.


    "Your company has been generous to me, and I¡¯m not ungrateful. You give a peach, and I return a plum. I disagree with a ten-year contract. There needs to be some compromise; I can¡¯t just take everything, right?"


    Jiang Siming¡¯s calm and breezy smile increased Zhao Xuan¡¯s admiration for him.


    He wasn¡¯t what she expected¡ªa person who voluntarily adjusted their contract terms for their freedom.


    Not only was he wise and free-spirited, but he also had immense self-control and tremendous confidence in his future.


    If he didn¡¯t have such confidence in his future, why would he let go of such a lucrative ten-year contract?


    Even if Jiang Siming didn¡¯t meet their expectations or saw a decline in popularity during the ten-year contract, the platform would still guarantee a minimum of ten million per year. But Jiang Siming declined, which really surprised Zhao Xuan.


    "Alright, I agree."


    After pondering, Zhao Xuan nodded in agreement.


    "However, the contract must stipulate that once it expires, under the premise that our platform hasn¡¯t treated you unfairly, we have the priority to renew the contract."


    Jiang Siming readily agreed to this.


    "I¡¯m someone who values emotions. If the platform treats me well, I¡¯m willing to stay."


    "That¡¯s great. Looking forward to our cooperation."


    If she was going to meet him, she had to show him her most beautiful side.


    The anxious Dumb Little Sister even turned around to glance, as if afraid Jiang Siming was nearby. She hadn¡¯t considered that she had never met Jiang Siming and wouldn¡¯t recognize him, even if he were present.


    "Well, I¡¯ll be busy now. Let¡¯s talk later." Jiang Siming, oblivious to her anxiety, said and walked toward the computer store.


    Xujiahui had a dedicated digital floor, filled with high-end electronic products that the average person might find intimidating.


    Jiang Siming initially didn¡¯t want to buy anything too fancy, but Dumb Little Sister told him that streaming and gaming together would put a heavy load on the computer. A subpar computer would not only lag but also greatly reduce the streaming frame rate, causing issues like blurry live stream visuals.


    Helplessly, Jiang Siming had to choose a high-quality option.


    Signing fees are about to come in, and Jiang Siming wouldn¡¯t be unwilling to spend that bit of money.


    He was still hesitating about which store to go to when his WeChat buzzed again.


    "Brother Ming, there¡¯s a shop called ¡¯Express¡¯ in the Xujiahui electronics market. Everything there is genuine, and the owner is honest, but it¡¯s a bit pricey. If you¡¯re not sure where to buy, you can check it out there. I got all my equipment from that store."


    "Alright, I¡¯ll head there now to take a look," Jiang Siming agreed.


    Meanwhile, in a clothing store, Dumb Little Sister was excited and hurriedly knocked on the fitting room where Erqian was trying on clothes.


    "Erqian, hurry up! It¡¯s urgent!"


    "What¡¯s up, Dumb Dumb? I haven¡¯t finished trying these on," Erqian asked from inside.


    "Brother Ming is buying a computer in Xujiahui. Let¡¯s go see him!"


    This idea in Dumb Dumb¡¯s mind was impossible to contain.


    "Huh? Are you both rushing there right now?" Erqian was shocked.


    Dumb Dumb scoffed at her and said, "What are you thinking? I didn¡¯t even bother dressing up properly today. I don¡¯t want Brother Ming to see me like this."


    "Then why are you going?"


    "We¡¯ll go sneak a peek at him. Just make sure he doesn¡¯t spot us."


    "Are you sure? What if he¡¯s not good-looking? I¡¯ve heard guys with nice voices tend to have a ¡¯casual¡¯ appearance. What if he¡¯s a sloppy middle-aged man with a beer belly?" Erqian warned.


    "Really?"

 Chapter 26: Another ’Heartbreak’

    Dumb Little Sister was intimidated by the words of Erqian.


    If Jiang Siming really looks like that, beer belly, bald head, full of flesh on his face...


    Just thinking about it is a bit scary.


    But if she doesn¡¯t look, does that mean she¡¯ll only interact with Brother Ming online for the rest of her life?


    Regardless, she must go and see!


    As long as the other person doesn¡¯t look completely unbearable, even if he¡¯s a bit ugly, Dumb Little Sister doesn¡¯t mind.


    "Go! I¡¯ve decided!"


    Once Dumb Little Sister decided, and Erqian couldn¡¯t persuade her. In fact, she was also curious about what Jiang Siming looks like.


    The two quickly left the clothing store and headed to the computer city.


    They arrived at the ¡¯Rapid¡¯ Computer City. Inside, many people were coming and going. The two girls were puzzled, how would they know who Jiang Siming is?


    "Give him a hint on WeChat," Erqian suggested.


    Dumb Little Sister thought it made sense and immediately messaged Jiang Siming about the purchase.


    "It¡¯s almost done. I bought everything according to the equipment list you gave me. Now, I just need a live broadcast camera and a microphone," Jiang Siming replied.


    "What items did you recommend to him?" Erqian asked Dumb Little Sister immediately.


    "Many things, water-cooled chassis, four Titans, 2800ti graphics card, and so on," Dumb Little Sister replied.


    "The two immediately began searching for the corresponding items in the shopping baskets of customers in the store."


    Finally, at the checkout, they found a chubby customer pushing a basket with the water-cooled chassis, four Titans, and a 2800ti graphics card ¨C exactly the same items.


    But when they looked at this person, Erqian and Dumb Little Sister felt like their worldview was collapsing.


    This person was covered in fat, weighing at least two hundred kilograms, with a height of only 1.65 meters. His greasy hair stuck together, and it seemed like he hadn¡¯t washed it in a long time.


    In his hand, he held a large hamburger, eating it with oil flowing down his mouth. There even seemed to be body odor, and other customers were holding their noses and keeping their distance.


    "This... Dumb Dumb..." Erqian cautiously turned her head to look at Dumb Little Sister.


    Dumb Little Sister was on the verge of tears.


    She really wasn¡¯t part of the looks association.


    Her expectations had already dropped to a super low level, but reality still shattered her bottom line...


    She couldn¡¯t accept such a ¡¯Jiang Siming¡¯!


    "Woo woo woo... Erqian... how could this happen..."


    There was no reply on WeChat either. Both of them could almost confirm their feelings of despair returning.


    Ding dong!


    Just when they felt despairing, Dumb Little Sister¡¯s phone rang again! It was Jiang Siming¡¯s reply!


    In the messages, Jiang Siming gradually sent several photos.


    But Dumb Little Sister was absolutely certain: she had been staring at the ¡¯Jiang Siming¡¯ who was arguing in the store the whole time, and he hadn¡¯t taken out his phone, let alone taken any pictures!


    Moreover, the electronic devices in the photos were different from those of the ¡¯Jiang Siming¡¯ in the store; there were many other items in the pictures that weren¡¯t in the ¡¯Jiang Siming¡¯s¡¯ shopping cart at all!


    A feeling of ¡¯having a narrow escape from a disaster¡¯ emerged in the minds of the two girls.


    Could this ¡¯Jiang Siming¡¯ just coincidentally have bought a few items similar to the real Jiang Siming¡¯s purchases?


    Soon after, the ¡¯Jiang Siming¡¯ in the store, having failed to negotiate, angrily bought only the graphics card and stormed off.


    Meanwhile, at the store¡¯s checkout, a tall figure pushing a shopping cart appeared.


    He queued up and started taking photos of the items in his cart.


    Every time he took a picture, Dumb Little Sister received it on her phone, and the angles and techniques used in the photos perfectly matched those of the tall guy in the store.


    To confirm once more, Dumb Little Sister replied on WeChat.


    Pretending to ask Jiang Siming to get a business card from the store, she claimed it would make it easier to place orders directly over the phone in the future.


    As soon as she sent this message, the ¡¯Jiang Siming¡¯ in the store called one of the service staff, exchanged a few words, and the staff handed him a business card from the front desk.


    Jiang Siming even took a photo of the business card with his phone and sent it to Dumb Little Sister.


    Receiving the message, Dumb Little Sister instantly felt like she had returned from hell to earth. Only she could understand this feeling at this moment.


    She had thought love had slipped away from her, but it turned out to be all a misunderstanding!


    The two girls hugged each other excitedly, jumping around. Passersby gave them puzzled looks, wondering what could make them so ecstatic.


    "Don¡¯t get too excited, Dumb Dumb. We¡¯ve only seen his back; we haven¡¯t seen his face yet," Erqian cautioned her in advance.


    The ¡¯Jiang Siming¡¯ in the store had been facing away from them, so they hadn¡¯t been able to get a clear look at his face.


    Dumb Little Sister realized that if this person had a terrifying appearance and was much older, it would be troublesome.


    But as long as he wasn¡¯t like the ¡¯Jiang Siming¡¯ from earlier, she wouldn¡¯t mind!


    Dumb Little Sister lowered her standards once again.


    The two girls settled down and found a nearby spot, sneakily watching the store entrance. As soon as Jiang Siming emerged, they¡¯d get a clear view.

 Chapter 27: Ming God’s First Live Stream

    Jiang Siming quickly finished paying and walked out of the store with his purchases.


    The moment he stepped outside, Jiang Siming¡¯s full face was completely exposed to the two girls.


    Dumb Little Sister and Erqian were frozen in place, as if someone had pressed their acupuncture points.


    Their mouths slightly open, eyes wide, as if they had just seen a prince?


    He had the figure of a model, the looks of a superstar, and an air of ethereal charm!


    Forget about popular actors like Hu Ge, Huo Jianhua, Peng Yuyan, or Wu Yifan¡ªthey all paled in comparison!


    After the initial shock, the faces of both girls turned red, Dumb Little Sister¡¯s ears and neck even more so.


    The two girls exchanged a glance, understanding what the other wanted to say:


    "Mama, I¡¯m in love..."


    "Dumb Dumb, I¡¯ve already made the purchases. I¡¯m planning to head home now. Thanks for your recommendations; they saved me a lot of trouble. If there¡¯s a chance, I¡¯ll treat you to dinner."


    Jiang Siming pushed the shopping cart with one hand and held the phone to his mouth with the other, sending a voice message.


    His voice matched perfectly with Jiang Siming online, even sounding better than online.


    However, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t notice Dumb Little Sister beside him. After sending the voice message, he simply pushed the cart and left the ¡¯Rapid¡¯ store.


    Once Jiang Siming was out of sight, Dumb Little Sister and Erqian hugged again, laughing and screaming. This attracted even more attention from passersby, but the two girls were oblivious...


    ...


    Back at home, Jiang Siming assembled the computer. All these items cost him nearly 30,000 credits, all top-notch equipment.


    After assembling it, he looked at the cool and flashy computer before him, a stark contrast to the 5,000 credit one he had been using for a few days.


    It was like comparing a king to a beggar, an enormous difference.


    Comparing the two, Jiang Siming, who was initially content with his 5,000 credit computer, couldn¡¯t help but comment, "People are so infuriatingly competitive, and products vary so much!"


    The 30,000 credit setup was for live streaming, while the 5,000 credit one would be a secondary machine, used for checking comments, doing giveaways for fans, or setting up panoramic cameras.


    With all the streaming configurations set up, Jiang Siming only needed to wait for the day after tomorrow to start streaming as scheduled.


    On the same night after signing the contract, Douyu¡¯s official Weibo released a post:


    "Great news! PUBG¡¯s Ultimate Demon King, the Swift Sniper, the God-like Shooter, the Mighty Average Player! ¡¯Ming¡¯ has joined Douyu¡¯s live streaming! He¡¯ll meet everyone sharp at 3 p.m. the day after tomorrow in Room 99999. If you want to learn PUBG skills, don¡¯t miss it!"


    This post caused quite a stir, especially among executives from other platforms who had considered negotiations with Jiang Siming. They regretted not acting sooner, not expecting Douyu to move so quickly!


    Fans who¡¯ve watched Jiang Siming¡¯s skills on Douyu are super excited. With Jiang Siming going live, they can learn techniques better now!


    Moreover, Ming¡¯s voice is incredibly pleasant, his personality is humorous, and he effortlessly delivers jokes and punchlines.


    The voiceovers of Jiang Siming as Yasuo have already gone viral on TikTok. Countless people are using this voiceover as background audio.


    As a newly emerged and highly popular newcomer, his upcoming live stream naturally attracts a lot of attention.


    The chat started at two o¡¯clock and continued in this manner, densely packed.


    Three o¡¯clock. .c


    The originally dark live room suddenly flickered to life¡ªthere was a picture!


    In the picture, besides Jiang Siming¡¯s computer screen, there was also a camera view in the lower right corner.


    Unfortunately, it didn¡¯t capture a face but instead focused on the keyboard and mouse.


    Many female fans expressed their disappointment.


    "We want to see his face~"


    "Don¡¯t just focus on the hands, Ming, dear, we want to see your face~"


    "Who allowed you girls to call me dear!?"


    "Ugh! He¡¯s mine! Unsheathe your swords, you wretches!"


    "We¡¯re begging to see your face, even just a glance."


    "Maybe it¡¯s better not to. I fear that after seeing his face, my beautiful illusion will shatter."


    ...


    Many viewers called for the chance to see Jiang Siming¡¯s face, but he didn¡¯t fulfill their wishes.


    "This is a technical live streaming room; the looks segment is not unlocked yet."


    Jiang Siming¡¯s voice echoed in the live room. With top-notch streaming equipment, his voice effects reached a new level.


    "Ah, can¡¯t take it anymore~ Girls, I¡¯ll excuse myself first~ Mwah~"


    "Why does his voice sound even better? Who can resist this allure?"


    "I¡¯m a guy and I¡¯m swooning, Ming God, you¡¯re responsible for this!"


    "With a voice like this, not seeing the face is still okay."


    "He must be ugly, otherwise, why not show his face?"


    "You up there, go die in a corner; nobody¡¯s asking you to look!"


    ...


    Watching the chat, Jiang Siming shook his head, chuckling.


    "This is a technical live stream room; for now, it¡¯s only about tech. If there¡¯s a chance in the future, I¡¯ll reveal my face."


    Most viewers accepted this response, only a small portion persisted.


    Just as Jiang Siming was about to say more, his live room was bombarded with a series of platform-wide announcements of unlocking the titled membership, frighteningly overwhelming!

 Chapter 28: Dodge Bullets on Foot

    With a 12-kill streak in the Bootcamp, Jiang Siming only obtained one fragment, which happened to be a red fragment for the guitar skill.


    He already had four fragments for the guitar skill, just one short of synthesis. Jiang Siming noticed that the refresh rate of white fragments had decreased. It was likely that the game¡¯s skill fragments were nearly all obtained, which explained why he rarely found white fragments these days.


    Today¡¯s goal wasn¡¯t collecting fragments, though; Jiang Siming aimed to climb to the top of the Asia server.


    After leaving the Bootcamp, Jiang Siming hopped on his Yamaha electric bike and headed towards places with more players. Where there were people, there were opportunities¡ªso easy!


    Vroom, vroom!


    Passing by a residential area, Jiang Siming was blocked by a pedestrian. However, with the skill "Ultimate Vehicle Maneuver," he remained calm. He zigzagged on his electric bike, fast and slow at times, evading all the shots from the other person.


    The audience enjoyed the scene.


    "What¡¯s this guy doing? Setting off fireworks?"


    "He¡¯s outlining the human body with bullets?"


    "The ones who don¡¯t understand are idiots. It¡¯s not the guy¡¯s fault; it¡¯s just that Ming God¡¯s driving skills are too excellent, okay?"


    "Notice that Ming God¡¯s vehicle has always been outside the opponent¡¯s line of fire. How does he do that?"


    "Hiding behind a car from bullets isn¡¯t a skill. If you¡¯re so capable, get out of the car and dodge bullets! If you can dodge a round of bullets, I¡¯ll gift ten super rockets! Idiot!"


    Jiang Siming took a moment to glance at the chat, catching a specific message.


    "Since someone wants to see me dodge bullets on foot, I¡¯ll satisfy them. Whether or not it earns super rockets doesn¡¯t matter. If I succeed, just send a chat saying ¡¯Dad, I was wrong.¡¯"


    Haha.


    The audience enjoyed it; Ming God was a bit mischievous.


    Unexpectedly, the sender of that chat spoke up again.


    "No problem! If you can do it, not only will I send a chat, but I¡¯ll also gift you ten super rockets!"


    The sender seemed to be a small duke with the economic capacity to make such promises.


    "Deal."


    Jiang Siming genuinely stopped the vehicle, switched to fist mode, and didn¡¯t carry a gun. The guy blocking him thought Jiang Siming was panicking and jumping off the vehicle.


    He quickly loaded his gun, ready to take a single shot at Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming was on this open space, starting to move wildly, sometimes crouching, sometimes jumping, occasionally spinning in circles in a somewhat silly manner.


    But what left the audience astonished was that the opponent¡¯s bullets, as if insulated from Jiang Siming, always flew past him.


    Each bullet came dangerously close to hitting, but never actually hit.


    The skill "Extreme Movement" was showcased to its fullest at this moment.


    At this distance and in this environment, even someone with mediocre aiming skills like Dumb Little Sister could hit the opponent at least five or six times.


    But miraculously, this was what actually happened, witnessed with their own eyes!


    If you were to say the opponent was an actor, Jiang Siming using a frying pan to catch a bullet at the end wasn¡¯t something that could be acted out.


    Many affluent viewers began showering gifts and rewards, as if that was the only way to express their feelings at that moment.


    For a while, planes, rockets, VIP subscriptions, and even a super rocket were flying across the screen, totaling a value of over five thousand.


    Then, a duke¡¯s purple comment appeared in the livestream.


    "Sorry, Dad, Ming Dad, from now on, you are my idol, I won¡¯t go anywhere else!"


    "Duke [Forgetful Scholar] rewards [Ming]¡¯s livestream with 10 super rockets!"


    The Duke user promptly sent ten super rockets, along with five regular ones.


    "Thank you for the Duke¡¯s generous gifts. Let¡¯s not make fun of him anymore. This guy keeps his word; he seems like a big businessman. I¡¯ll make you a moderator later." Jiang Siming said with a smile.


    The Duke was even more grateful upon hearing Jiang Siming¡¯s words and sent another five rockets.


    Easily impressing a duke user, Jiang Siming realized the more impressive his maneuvers, the more the audience loved it.


    Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s all prepare to be amazed!


    After rummaging through the person¡¯s bag, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t pick up anything, just took all six grenades inside, even discarding some bullets for this.


    Getting back on the electric bike, Jiang Siming headed towards the safe zone.


    "Too few bullets, right? Only sixty, is that enough, Ming God?"


    The worried audience asked; in their gaming world, a rifle should have at least two hundred bullets to be sufficient.


    "I won¡¯t need that many. Sixty bullets plus the dozen or so in the sniper rifle will be enough for me to kill at least twenty people." Jiang Siming replied.


    This time, no one argued back because Jiang Siming had already proven himself with his skills.


    The electric bike arrogantly entered the center of the safe zone and found an airdrop, surprisingly containing an AWM, the most powerful sniper rifle.


    But Jiang Siming didn¡¯t pick it up; he only took the bullets and left only one in the gun, then found a place to discard it.


    The audience laughed and scolded Jiang Siming for being too bad; anyone who came to pick up the airdrop and found an AWM without bullets would probably curse angrily.


    One bullet, don¡¯t pick it up, and you¡¯ll regret it; pick it up, and one bullet isn¡¯t enough to shoot.


    The choice is a nightmare for someone with indecisiveness...


    Having done some mischief, Jiang Siming chuckled and drove the vehicle to a higher point, waiting for prey.

 Chapter 29: Meeting Champion Player

    The small map¡¯s circle is closing very quickly. In the jungles of Southeast Asia, figures are running towards the center.


    Standing at a high vantage point, Jiang Siming possesses the skill "Eagle Eyes." As long as someone appears on the screen, none can escape Jiang Siming¡¯s field of vision.


    "Southeast, 120 degrees, one target, taking care of it first."


    Jiang Siming reports to the audience and opens the scope. With a slight movement of the mouse, he immediately aims at the player running through the jungle.


    Despite the opponent¡¯s evasive movements, Jiang Siming¡¯s shot is unerring!


    As the 98k bullet leaves the barrel, a spray of blood blooms from the person¡¯s head, and they fall lifeless.


    The audience in the livestream hasn¡¯t even had a chance to cheer.


    "105 degrees, another one, a bit far, my sniping will have to depend on luck."


    After saying this, Jiang Siming shifts the scope, revealing another moving figure at a considerable distance.


    The audience is amazed at Jiang Siming¡¯s sharp eyesight; seeing a target from a distance of five hundred meters, even in the jungle, is impressive.


    If not for the screen capture, everyone would think Jiang Siming is using cheats.


    Adjusting the crosshair, pre-aiming, and firing!


    At such a distance, almost no one believes Jiang Siming can hit the target.


    But in reality...


    "Player [ming] uses a headshot with the 98k to kill player [yuanlaishini]."


    What the heck!


    He hit from that distance? And a headshot?


    "Hehe, not bad luck. I thought I could only hit the body."


    Jiang Siming seems pleased with a small accomplishment. The audience is speechless; what he called luck from a distance was actually aiming for the head, or at least hitting the body?


    Well, he¡¯s a monster! Definitely a monster!


    Next, from this high point, Jiang Siming consecutively eliminates seven enemies running from the poison before reluctantly changing positions due to the lack of new targets.


    The audience has lost count of how many times they¡¯ve exclaimed "Wow" during this round. Their knees are surrendered to this game for a year.


    Soon, the poison circle shrinks, and the number of players decreases.


    Jiang Siming notices that, aside from himself, there¡¯s an ID that has lit up several times in the upper right corner.


    "Player [omg_xiaohai555] uses an M416 to kill player [zhenbangbang111]."


    It lights up again, and the audience finally realizes the abnormality of this ID!


    "Alas! Isn¡¯t this Xiaohai?"


    This person also knew Jiang Siming¡¯s position and was determined not to let him survive to enter the circle.


    Jiang Siming fired a few shots with the rifle, trying to lure the opponent into a shootout.


    But unfortunately, this player was a master at camping and wouldn¡¯t show himself, leaving Jiang Siming unable to shoot.


    "So you¡¯re gonna camp? Then let me show you the taste of a thunderstorm."


    Jiang Siming was certain this person couldn¡¯t be Xiaohai from OMG; a professional player wouldn¡¯t play so passively.


    Since he was just a random player, there was no need to hesitate. Once he took care of him, he could have a showdown with the professional player.


    He unhooked a grenade from his waist and pulled the pin.


    Sizzling


    The grenade started to ignite.


    After a brief two-second count, Jiang Siming threw it out.


    But that wasn¡¯t all; Jiang Siming had more than a dozen grenades in his backpack, all scavenged from other players¡¯ loot boxes.


    Jiang Siming, without a second thought, threw all of them out like they were freebies.


    The grenades exploded densely at that spot, more intense than a bombing zone!


    The random player who had been camping there heard the earth-shattering explosions nearby and trembled, praying he wouldn¡¯t become a victim.


    But to his dismay, the last grenade happened to ¡¯coincidentally¡¯ land right on his face.


    Boom!


    "Player [ming] uses a grenade to kill player [doushizhazha]."


    The audience couldn¡¯t help but feel sorry for this guy.


    "So many grenades, it¡¯s just brutal."


    "Wasn¡¯t that a bit over the top for a thunderstorm? Too much, but seriously epic!"


    "I seriously suspect Ming did it on purpose, just to throw all the grenades and probably waited for the last one to finish off the opponent."


    "Here it is! The thrilling showdown between the expert and the sniper is about to begin!"


    "The champion player versus the random sniper, the footage is rolling, get ready for the first video release!"


    ...


    By blowing up the nuisance of a player, Jiang Siming smoothly ran into the safe circle.


    Actually, along the way, Xiaohai had chances to harass Jiang Siming, but he refrained. He wanted a fair and square showdown with Jiang Siming!


    Jiang Siming also understood this and, to respect his opponent, topped up his health to the maximum, reaching the most perfect state.

 Chapter 30: Showoff Between Two Pros

    The two players stood on a flat piece of ground, each having a giant rock as cover, with a distance of just over ten meters between them.


    Xiaohai¡¯s geographical position seemed to be slightly better because his side had a forest, with large trees and bushes providing cover. On the other hand, Jiang Siming was on an open field with only that one rock, leaving the rest of the area exposed.


    However, this game itself isn¡¯t inherently fair, and this setup was already quite close to a balanced scenario.


    Both sides hesitated to make a move.


    The live streams of both broadcasters fell silent, and the comments in the chat had significantly decreased. The viewers were nervously watching this showdown, too absorbed to even send messages.


    Finally, Xiaohai took the initiative, firing rapidly at the corners of the rock where he suspected Jiang Siming might be hiding, trying to lure him out.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t let him spoil the fun; his head appeared from the side of the rock, and then swiftly retreated.


    In the meantime, Jiang Siming had fired a shot from the 98k.


    Quick-scope!


    Another quick-scope!


    But could he hit this time?


    The answer was a definite yes!


    Bullets immediately hit Xiaohai¡¯s body, producing the sound of bullets penetrating flesh.


    Fortunately, it didn¡¯t hit his head but struck his shoulder armor. Although it only took a small chunk of his health, it was enough to startle Xiaohai.


    "So accurate!" Xiaohai exclaimed in amazement while crouching down to heal.


    On the other side of the computer desk, Xiaolion didn¡¯t respond to him but stared at the screen without blinking.


    His screen was showing Jiang Siming¡¯s livestream, providing Jiang Siming¡¯s first-person perspective.


    Even Xiaolion, despite being an experienced player, couldn¡¯t comprehend how Jiang Siming achieved such precise quick-scoping.


    "This guy... doesn¡¯t even need to aim?" Other members of OMG, drawn by the spectacle, gathered around Xiaolion¡¯s computer.


    No one bothered to check Xiaohai¡¯s perspective, much to Xiaohai¡¯s frustration¡ªwhy wasn¡¯t anyone watching him?


    After observing for a while, Xiaolion finally spoke.


    "Look at the way he grips the mouse in the webcam. This guy is a typical arm player, using the feeling of the arm to achieve not having to aim down sights. Wherever the arm points, the gun follows!"


    "Arm players aren¡¯t uncommon, I¡¯m one too, but I can¡¯t achieve this level of precision." OMG¡¯s members chuckled.


    "That¡¯s his remarkable aspect. This can¡¯t be learned; it¡¯s almost like a talent. Neither the North American god nor Shroud has this exaggerated quick-scoping skill." Xiaolion asserted confidently because he had faced off against those players. R??


    "Looks like Xiaohai is in trouble," another team member smirked.


    Heard by Xiaohai, he snorted, saying, "I won¡¯t lose. I don¡¯t believe his sniping is really that strong! My sniping skills aren¡¯t weak either!"


    Having said that, Xiaohai, who had healed to full health, picked up his M24 and peeked his head from the cover, pre-aiming towards Jiang Siming.


    They opened fire!


    Xiaohai, who aimed first, had the M416¡¯s barrel precisely aimed at Jiang Siming. The flames spewing from the barrel looked like a deadly sickle.


    On the other hand, Jiang Siming seemed stunned, not firing a shot!


    The audience felt a cold wave, and even Xiaolion thought Xiaohai would successfully counter-kill.


    "Does this guy have such poor psychological resilience? Did he forget to shoot?" OMG¡¯s members sneered.


    If that were indeed the case, their team didn¡¯t seem to need such a player. After all, even if someone was good at sniping, poor psychological resilience would be a drawback.


    In professional matches, no one would foolishly engage in a prolonged gunfight with someone known to have accurate sniping skills. They wouldn¡¯t expose themselves at a distance; instead, they would opt for close combat.


    Only Xiaolion saw through the situation. He exclaimed, "No! He¡¯s there! Watch his movement!"


    In the camera frame, facing the impending bullets, Jiang Siming suddenly leaned to the side and squatted!


    Then, he stepped out half a body to the right, a seemingly useless and dreamy maneuver.


    Yet, it successfully evaded all of Xiaohai¡¯s bullets!


    Panicking, Xiaohai tried to pull the trigger again, but at that moment, the opponent switched to an AK and fired a few shots.


    Pup pup pup!


    Xiaohai¡¯s head was hit by three AK bullets, and he collapsed, becoming a lifeless corpse.


    Xiaohai stood still on the spot, staring at the screen like a statue.


    [Good luck tonight, winner winner chicken dinner! 34 kills!]


    This message appeared on Jiang Siming¡¯s computer screen.


    The livestream exploded with a huge uproar, and gifts from the audience showered down like snowflakes!


    Duke [Forgotten River Scholar] rewarded a super rocket x2 in Ming¡¯s livestream!


    [Forgotten River Scholar]: "Wow! This move gave me goosebumps! Ming God is mighty!"


    King [Heartless Flower] rewarded a super rocket x5 in Ming¡¯s livestream!


    [Heartless Flower]: "I¡¯m kneeling! I¡¯ve watched a match until my knees are about to break. Can¡¯t learn, can¡¯t learn."


    Emperor [Little Tuantuan] rewarded a super rocket x10 in Ming¡¯s livestream!


    [Little Tuantuan]: "My best friend and I were dumbfounded, screaming so loud that even my grandma woke up. Hehe, going crazy for Brother Ming!¡¯


    Emperor [Dumb Little Sister] rewarded a super rocket x10 in Ming¡¯s livestream!


    [Dumb Little Sister]: "Defeating a professional player with strength, Brother Ming is amazing! I¡¯m your most loyal fan~"

 Chapter 31: 000 Fan Badges

    Duke, king, emperor, and even counts and viscounts, a large group of tycoons sent rewards.


    They boosted Jiang Siming¡¯s popularity back to over 10 million!


    At this moment, there are still over 2 million viewers in Jiang Siming¡¯s live stream room.


    This is all due to the numbers brought in by Dumb Dumb and Tuantuan previously, with over 3 million online viewers at that time.


    It was expected that those who just came to grab the treasure chests would have left by now, but unexpectedly, over 2 million are still here.


    This number of online viewers is something even Tuantuan and Dumb Dumb can only occasionally achieve.


    Jiang Siming, however, achieved it in just one day.


    Successfully winning a Chicken Dinner, Jiang Siming felt quite satisfied.


    After killing Xiaohai, a golden shard appeared in his backpack.


    And this shard was none other than the Audi RS7 that Jiang Siming had been wanting!


    But for now, during the live broadcast, Jiang Siming can only deal with it after the stream ends.


    With a 34-kill Chicken Dinner, Jiang Siming¡¯s score skyrocketed to 2300, gaining 500 points in a single game, quite impressive.


    Without stopping, Jiang Siming re-entered the game.


    From 3 PM, Jiang Siming played continuously until 3 AM.


    A total of twelve hours streaming!


    In those twelve hours, Jiang Siming managed to win a total of 18 Chicken Dinners!


    Almost on average, every three games, he would secure a win.


    Sometimes, when he had fewer kills, Jiang Siming would self-destruct and restart; otherwise, his Chicken Dinner rate would be even more terrifying!


    Among these, there were 11 games with over 30 kills and 7 with over 20 kills!


    And Jiang Siming¡¯s score had risen to a terrifying 4500 points!


    On the Asia server leaderboard, Jiang Siming proudly held the top position!


    First place:


    [ming]


    Score: 4500


    KDA: 19.4


    Total games: 103


    Chicken Dinners: 38


    Win rate: 36%


    ...


    Second place:


    "Ming God, take Dumb Dumb and Tuantuan with you. They¡¯ve been missing you."


    "Yeah, Dumb Dumb has been feeling down lately, almost getting depression."


    ...


    Seeing everyone¡¯s messages, Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t the kind of streamer to ignore their sentiments.


    Perfect timing! When Jiang Siming won several chicken dinners earlier, he had accumulated enough fragments for "Guitar Mastery." Coupled with his existing talent, "Singing Skill," Jiang Siming decided to treat everyone to a song as today¡¯s closing performance.


    "Today¡¯s gaming session has been too long, and my head is a bit dizzy now. I won¡¯t be playing games anymore. I¡¯ll borrow a guitar from my roommate and sing a song for you all. How does that sound?"


    Since he didn¡¯t have a guitar, he planned to borrow one from Wang Xinyi.


    In fact, Jiang Siming also wanted to test these two new skills he had just acquired; he had never used them before.


    "Ming God can play the guitar too?"


    "Come on, does he have to be so talented? What chance do we ordinary men have?"


    "Agreed! Ming God¡¯s voice is so nice; he must be great at singing!"


    "You can play the guitar too? Is it just at the beginner level, or are you going to embarrass yourself?"


    "I¡¯ll notify the old women; she¡¯ll definitely be happy to come over and watch!"


    ...


    Hearing most viewers agreeing, Jiang Siming temporarily left the livestream.


    He went to Wang Xinyi¡¯s room, where the lights were still on.


    Jiang Siming knocked on the door.


    "Heart, are you asleep?"


    "Sir, do you have something important at this late hour?" Wang Xinyi felt a bit strange and nervous, wondering why Jiang Siming would come to her so late.


    "Oh, I¡¯m livestreaming and want to borrow your guitar for a while. Is that okay? Don¡¯t worry; I¡¯ll play it very softly."


    Jiang Siming had already told Wang Xinyi about being a livestreamer.


    In no time, the door opened.


    Wearing cartoon pajamas, Wang Xinyi walked out holding a guitar and handed it to Jiang Siming.


    "Sir, you can play the guitar too?"


    Jiang Siming took the guitar with a smile and said, "A little bit. I plan to sing a song to end the livestream. Don¡¯t worry; I¡¯ll finish quickly."


    "Can I come and listen? I promise not to make any noise, just silently watch from the side." Wang Xinyi was curious about Jiang Siming¡¯s guitar skills.


    "Sure, if you¡¯re not bored, come on in." Jiang Siming readily agreed.


    Back in his room, Wang Xinyi followed like a curious baby, glancing around.


    As Jiang Siming sat in front of the livestream camera, Wang Xinyi stood at the door, far away, silent and curious, watching.


    Having already waited for Jiang Siming in the livestream room, Dumb Dumb and Tuantuan were eager.

 Chapter 32: Crazy Rewards

    In a villa located in a wealthy area of Shanghai, Zhao Xuan, who had just finished handling company affairs, went to her daughter¡¯s bedroom to take a look.


    After seeing her daughter asleep, she returned to her own bedroom, planning to go to bed.


    But feeling restless, she decided to check the live stream on her company¡¯s platform, just to inspect. If there were any violations during the live streams, she didn¡¯t mind making a scene in their channels.


    "The top ten most popular live streams should still be the same," Zhao Xuan thought to herself as she opened the live stream, finding familiar faces among the top ten streamers.


    However, in a blink of an eye, she noticed an unfamiliar live stream that ranked fifth in popularity!


    She had never seen this particular live stream before.


    "Could it be another pretty female anchor encountering a big spender again, with over twenty million viewers? Is it that high?" she wondered.


    With suspicion, she clicked on this particular live stream, and the name of the streamer immediately made Zhao Xuan understand.


    Wasn¡¯t this the new male anchor she had signed with earlier today? How could he have such high popularity on the first day? Was it artificially inflated?


    Zhao Xuan immediately checked the data and was surprised to find that all the data appeared normal.


    More curious now, she decided to stay in the live stream room to observe.


    "All set, I¡¯m going to sing. If it¡¯s not good, at least give me some face and don¡¯t boo me."


    As soon as Jiang Siming finished speaking, his slender fingertips began strumming the guitar strings.


    The clear guitar sound echoed, resembling the sound of quiet springs in a serene night.


    The atmosphere in the live stream room instantly became tranquil.


    The melody transitioned from low to cheerful, then to a subtle melancholy.


    The guitar sound was clean, pure, and natural, like a breeze brushing against the face, or the sun setting on the horizon.


    The audience was captivated by the music and melody. Wang Xinyi, who stood quietly by the door, was deeply moved.


    When an expert acts, you can tell instantly.


    As soon as Jiang Siming started, she caught a glimpse.


    The level of his guitar playing was definitely not as basic as Jiang Siming claimed, just knowing a little bit.


    "Brother-in-law is too modest. With this level of guitar skills, he¡¯s even better than my teacher."


    After a while of the melody, Jiang Siming¡¯s voice echoed from the live broadcast microphone.


    "The rain outside the window has stopped,


    The lights inside the house are still on.


    Counting your indifference,


    Playing with loneliness.


    I¡¯m already thirsty before making a call,


    The nights I stayed up for you have turned cold.


    "What¡¯s the name of this song? It¡¯s so good, I¡¯ll search and play it in a loop all night tonight!"


    "No record of this song, could it be the streamer¡¯s original creation? That¡¯s incredible!"


    "From now on, add one more fan!"


    ...


    Because of this song, Jiang Siming¡¯s livestream on the Douyu platform exploded in the early hours of the morning.


    The number of viewers in the livestream surged from 6 million to over 9 million, surpassing the second-ranked Xuxu Baobao and becoming the second-highest in the weekly online ranking.


    Viewers were extremely generous with their gifts, showering them crazily.


    [Smile Smiling Bald Donkey] Emperor rewarded [Minopg] Livestream with 20 super rockets!


    [Smile Smiling Bald Donkey]: "Just broke up with my girlfriend, making me cry on such a late night, it¡¯s really too much, but still thank you. The song is really good, I¡¯ll live here from now on!"


    [No Sleep Unintentional] Emperor rewarded...


    [Fu Fuyun] King rewarded...


    [Hehuallin] Duke rewarded...


    Jiang Siming never expected that one song would attract so many nobles and fans.


    The number of his fan cards surged from 26,000 to 31,000.


    The livestream, originally at level 65, suddenly jumped to level 70!


    The level indicator changed from purple to bright red, looking particularly eye-catching.


    After singing the song, Jiang Siming thanked everyone one by one.


    "This song is written by me, and there is no official version yet, so there is no trial version online. If you like it, you can follow me. I¡¯ll sing it for you when I have time."


    Just as he finished speaking, another super reward appeared!


    [Douyu?Xuan] user opened the [Emperor] title in [Ming]¡¯s livestream!


    [Douyu?Xuan] Emperor rewarded [Ming] Livestream with Cosmic Spaceships (5000rmb/ship) x100!


    [Douyu?Xuan] Emperor: "What¡¯s the name of this song?"


    100 Cosmic Spaceships!


    This is worth 500,000 credit!


    A lavish and inhumane display!


    The half a million gift pushed Jiang Siming¡¯s livestream level up by two and a half levels, reaching 7**.


    The high-level Douyu executives watching Jiang Siming¡¯s livestream were shocked to see this ID. Isn¡¯t this the general manager¡¯s ID? The general manager is giving gifts to this guy!


    What kind of luck is this guy having? Even when PDD returned, the general manager didn¡¯t send a single gift, let alone opening an emperor title in his livestream!

 Chapter 33: New Skill: End Stream Quickly

    "Thank you to this online friend for the gift, and thanks to everyone for your presents. This song is called ¡¯Trotting Horse.¡¯ To show my gratitude, I¡¯ll perform another act for you all! It¡¯s a new skill I¡¯ve learned!"


    As Jiang Siming said this, the audience became even more expectant.


    "What kind of skill? Is it singing again?"


    "I want to hear ¡¯Trotting Horse¡¯ again!"


    "It¡¯s indeed an original song, amazing!"


    "What¡¯s this skill? We won¡¯t agree if there¡¯s no exciting ¡¯Trotting Horse¡¯!"


    "Ming, you¡¯re my husband now!"


    More than nine million viewers stared at the live broadcast, eager to see what Jiang Siming¡¯s special skill was.


    But suddenly, the live stream went black!


    Only then did everyone realize that Jiang Siming had ¡¯tricked¡¯ them.


    "Seriously! You learned to end a stream so swiftly on your first day?"


    "Ming, you naughty thing! pouty noises"


    "Over nine million viewers, and you just end it? So capricious!"


    "Ming, you¡¯re mischievous. Does your family know?"


    "Ming! Come back! If you leave like this, will I be able to sleep tonight?"


    "Please, let me hear ¡¯Trotting Horse¡¯ once more!"


    However much the audience begged, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t reappear. He only sent a chat message saying he was too tired today and would continue tomorrow.


    Reluctantly, the audience gave up. Before leaving, they hit the follow button, hoping to receive a notification when Jiang Siming started streaming again.


    Getting up from his seat, Jiang Siming stretched lazily. He had live-streamed the entire day and was indeed tired.


    "Senior, I never expected you to be such a popular streamer," Wang Xinyi, who had been waiting at the door, finally spoke as Jiang Siming ended the stream.


    "Ah, it¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just that more people showed up today," Jiang Siming modestly replied.


    Wang Xinyi wasn¡¯t fixated on that; instead, she shifted the conversation to the song "Trotting Horse." Music was what intrigued her the most.


    "Senior, did you really write ¡¯Trotting Horse¡¯?"


    Jiang Siming calmly nodded, feeling completely at ease. He had a clear conscience. It was how fate arranged it, not his fault.


    "Senior, if you have time in the future, could you teach me composition? I also want to write songs, but I¡¯m not very talented and can¡¯t seem to compose anything."


    Wang Xinyi pleaded with Jiang Siming earnestly.


    "I just wrote it randomly, nothing really presentable."


    Wang Xinyi blushed and buried her head into the pillow, then couldn¡¯t resist peeking out and snuggling into Jiang Siming¡¯s embrace.


    "Senior... I like you..."


    This was Wang Xinyi¡¯s belated confession. She wanted to say it last night, but it was too overwhelming, and Jiang Siming didn¡¯t give her the chance for this heartfelt moment.


    "From now on, you¡¯re a part of my family, alright?"


    "Okay..." Wang Xinyi responded meekly.


    Looking at the lovely figure before him, Jiang Siming felt another surge of emotion.


    "Ouch... Senior..."


    Fortunately, Wang Xinyi¡¯s words brought Jiang Siming back to his senses. He remembered that he had been too rough on this girl who was experiencing this for the first time.


    The bedsheet stained with blood from last night was still on the floor, a reminder that cooled Jiang Siming¡¯s heated emotions.


    "You rest a little more; I¡¯ll prepare breakfast for you." Jiang Siming spoke gently.


    "Okay, thank you, Senior~" Wang Xinyi sweetly replied, brimming with happiness.


    Jiang Siming got up and prepared breakfast, and Wang Xinyi started feeling a bit better, the pain subsiding.


    However, when Jiang Siming entered the room, he noticed that the bedsheets were gone.


    After breakfast, Wang Xinyi went to class.


    Though still a bit uncomfortable, it wasn¡¯t anything serious.


    The happiness outweighed the current physical discomfort, so she didn¡¯t pay much attention to the pain.


    With nothing else to do, Jiang Siming began examining the Audi RS7 he had collected yesterday - it would be his first car in life!


    "Use fragments!"


    Jiang Siming silently said to himself.


    "Successful use, placed in the community parking lot."


    In Jiang Siming¡¯s hand, there was now an exquisite and cool black car key, adorned with Audi¡¯s four-ring emblem.


    Dressed and ready, Jiang Siming hurried downstairs to the community parking lot.


    Pressing the car key, a pleasing sound echoed in the parking lot¡¯s center.


    Jiang Siming ran over and saw, among a pile of ordinary cars, even the most expensive reaching only a million, an exceptionally conspicuous black ¡¯Cheetah¡¯ resting there!


    A strong impact hit him¡ªthe car resembled a fierce beast in the night, with a black honeycomb-style front grille, giving the car an aggressive front face.


    The black carbon-fiber styled front bumper, lip, wind knife, and side skirts indicated that this was not an ordinary coupe but a genuine violent beast of Austrian descent!"

 Chapter 34: Audi RS7

    Jiang Siming fell in love with this car at first sight, feeling certain that it was his own car. He pressed the key again, and the beep sound made him feel completely at ease.


    "Hey buddy, this car costs over three hundred thousand?"


    A middle-aged man parking a Crown nearby casually asked Jiang Siming.


    Ignoring him, Jiang Siming walked over to the car and opened the door.


    The car¡¯s interior was luxurious and understated.


    Sitting in the driver¡¯s seat, the ergonomic leather seats felt incredibly comfortable.


    In the passenger seat were various documents: vehicle registration, purchase invoice, vehicle maintenance card, all bearing Jiang Siming¡¯s name.


    Jiang Siming suddenly remembered something and hurried outside to check; his car still had its license plate.


    [Shanghai A00008]


    This license plate was also a gift from the gold fragments.


    Initially worried that the car lacked any proof and might be seen as a black-market or smuggled vehicle, Jiang Siming now felt relieved. The fragment was considerate, taking care of everything.


    Feeling completely at ease, Jiang Siming got back into the car and started it eagerly.


    As the car slowly exited the residential area and onto the road, it attracted a lot of attention from pedestrians and drivers.


    Though not as expensive as luxury cars, its aesthetics rivaled any sports car under five million.


    Moreover, being a part of the sports car series, its 0-100 km/h acceleration was as good as those five million sports cars.


    However, driving in the city was too congested for Jiang Siming¡¯s liking.


    To experience the car¡¯s real speed and performance, Jiang Siming took it onto the highway.


    Just as he entered the highway, Jiang Siming stepped on the gas.


    With the engine roaring, the car, like Jiang Siming¡¯s Type 98k bullet, shot along the expressway!


    In less than two seconds, the speed exceeded 130 mph, and after two more seconds, it reached 180!


    The thrill of speed made Jiang Siming¡¯s blood boil. As the speed increased, the push-back feeling relaxed him completely.


    From Shanghai to Kunshan and back, Jiang Siming took only an hour and a half.


    Having driven for over three hours outside, Jiang Siming checked the time; it was almost time for Wang Xinyi¡¯s class to end.


    She only had morning classes today and agreed for him to pick her up.


    Jiang Siming turned the car and headed to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.


    The car¡¯s roar attracted many students at the school gate.


    "You¡¯re still unmarried, what¡¯s wrong with that?" The girl retorted without hesitation.


    Jiang Siming smiled, his eyes fixed on the girl, and said mischievously, "You can give me your WeChat, but leave me a kiss, do you dare?"


    The girl looked at Jiang Siming for several seconds, then boldly approached, tiptoed, and pecked him on the face.


    This act made the male students at the school gate howl like a pack of wolves. Their school flower actually took the initiative to approach another man!


    "As promised, give me your phone." The girl smiled, though she tried to appear calm, the blush on her face betrayed something.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t expect the girl to be so straightforward, so he reluctantly took out his phone.


    She added Jiang Siming on WeChat, made a victorious V sign, bid him farewell, and walked away gracefully.


    Jiang Siming looked at the newly added WeChat friend, named "Jiang Lan."


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t pay much attention, wiped off the faint lipstick mark from his face, and continued to wait as if nothing had happened.


    After a while, Wang Xinyi, who had finished her class, walked out of the school.


    Seeing Jiang Siming waving at her, Wang Xinyi¡¯s face blossomed with a smile like a blooming flower.


    She immediately ran over to Jiang Siming, like a little bird flying into his arms.


    Just after charming a perfect goddess school flower, now he was off with the school¡¯s "first love" that every guy had a crush on.


    Ignoring the murderous gazes of the male students around, Jiang Siming drove away with Wang Xinyi.


    The two returned to the residential area and went together to the neighborhood supermarket to buy a lot of groceries.


    Once back home, Wang Xinyi prepared a sumptuous lunch - lotus root soup, saliva chicken, braised lion¡¯s head meatballs, plus two vegetarian dishes.


    It was so delicious that Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t help but eat nearly four bowls of rice to his heart¡¯s content.


    Seeing how much Jiang Siming enjoyed her cooking, Wang Xinyi couldn¡¯t have been happier.


    In the afternoon, Jiang Siming needed to do a live broadcast, so Wang Xinyi obediently went back to her room and didn¡¯t disturb him.


    After fermenting overnight, the video of Jiang Siming singing "Trotting Horse" from last night went viral online.


    Many netizens fell in love with the song after listening to it.


    But because there wasn¡¯t a preview version available, they could only watch the video.


    This didn¡¯t dampen the enthusiasm of a large number of netizens.


    Furthermore, yesterday evening, Jiang Siming topped the Asian server, winning over 20 chicken dinners in PUBG.


    Many content creators voluntarily edited the intense and violent moments of Jiang Siming¡¯s gameplay.


    Especially the last round, the showdown with OMG Xiao Hai, a top-notch player, left viewers thrilled and excited.

 Chapter 35: Soaring Popularity

    One hour left until Jiang Siming starts the live broadcast at 3:00 in the afternoon.


    The 99999 live room is already packed, with over a million online viewers, and the number is still rising.


    "Came here for the online video ¡¯Trotting Horse¡¯!"


    "Saw the Bilibili killing video, it¡¯s amazing, came here to verify!"


    "Open the door, I want to hear the song!"


    "Start the slaughter, Ming God, want to see you dominate the Asia server!"


    "Husband, when will you start the broadcast, sniff sniff..."


    "Such a talented husband is mine!"


    ...


    With soaring popularity, the momentum seems unstoppable!


    Jiang Siming¡¯s live room is becoming a potential top streamer, alongside veteran streamers like PDD and Xuxu Baobao on Douyu.


    Many veteran streamers envy Jiang Siming¡¯s popularity, thinking he¡¯s faking it, but after reporting, they received the reply, "He¡¯s fine, it¡¯s just your narrow-mindedness."


    Approaching three o¡¯clock, Jiang Siming just satisfied his car addiction and returned home to start the live broadcast.


    As soon as he started, Jiang Siming was a bit dumbfounded ¨C what¡¯s going on? Why are there so many people!


    Online viewers: 3,545,129, about 3.5 million.


    Popularity value: 8,787,544, about 8.5 million.


    These numbers left Jiang Siming bewildered.


    Yesterday, when he started the broadcast, the number of viewers was only a few hundred thousand, and the popularity was just over a million.


    Today¡¯s broadcast data is somewhat scary.


    "So lively today, good afternoon, everyone." Jiang Siming greeted the audience through the microphone.


    "Finally started the broadcast, you¡¯re one minute late!"


    "Ming God, you¡¯re floating, you¡¯re fifty seconds late, compensate us with a performance of ¡¯Trotting Horse¡¯."


    "Specially here for ¡¯Trotting Horse¡¯!"


    "Came from Bilibili to learn some skills, is the streamer accepting disciples?"


    "Husband, you finally arrived, I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time."


    "I checked the chat, and many people are here for ¡¯Trotting Horse,¡¯ but this is not a music live broadcast. What should I do?"


    Jiang Siming¡¯s mournful tone amused the audience, and they all said to sing a song and then let him go.


    Knowing that what you can¡¯t have is the most tempting, Jiang Siming would never agree so easily.


    "Well, how about this, I¡¯ll sing a song for everyone before ending the stream, is that okay?"


    The sound of loading bullets made the audience anxious.


    Just as he finished loading the bullets, the player who had been searching for him arrived, holding a shotgun.


    Seeing Jiang Siming and the Win94 in his hands, the other player laughed, a look of absolute confidence on his face.


    Lifting the thick black gun barrel, he intended to give Jiang Siming a double spray combo.


    However, Jiang Siming calmly raised his gun and pulled the trigger.


    The pleasing sound of Win94 bullets was like a muffled torpedo.


    Yet within that muffled sound, it contained the long-suppressed powerful force.


    Bullets pierced through, and the player holding the spray gun fell to the ground with a face full of unwillingness.


    A pleasant white light appeared in the box.


    "Picked up [Shotgun Mastery] fragment *1 (1/1), fragment quantity is full, can be used directly."


    A good game skill, Jiang Siming accepted the fragment and turned around, gun in hand, charging up to the second floor.


    With only a Win94 in hand, he exuded an imposing aura as if he was fully equipped with legendary gear.


    On the second floor, three players were in a gunfight, and one of them, unable to resist the two-pronged attack, tried to escape.


    But Jiang Siming snatched him with a Kobe Bryant-style shot.


    The player who could have taken the head was infuriated, and aiming his AK at Jiang Siming, he wanted to turn him into a sieve. f


    Mind you, Jiang Siming was playing the big league! The number one in the Asia server with 4500 points!


    The opponents he was matched with were the cream of the crop, the top players in their respective segments.


    The player with the AK was a technically skilled streamer with some popularity on YY Live.


    Having just won a chicken dinner, his live stream was thriving, with tens of thousands of viewers watching.


    "Wanted to steal kills? I¡¯ll make you die rhythmically!"


    As he cursed, he raised his gun to shoot!


    This streamer¡¯s recoil control was quite good; logically, Jiang Siming, fully exposed without cover, was supposed to die.


    But Jiang Siming, relying on his lateral movement and body twisting, miraculously avoided this deadly spray of bullets.


    "What the hell is this? Is he a goddamn magician?"


    The small streamer cursed, adjusting his gun to regain control of the situation.


    Successfully adjusting the gun, he found Jiang Siming. However, from the small streamer¡¯s scope, the figure that seemed like an easy target was now lifting the seemingly harmless Win94 in his hands.


    Bang!


    The small streamer¡¯s vision went black, and he became a lifeless body on the ground, rolling down from the spectator seats.

 Chapter 36: PUBG Mike Tyson

    "I f*** his ****!"


    "This is damn ridiculous! He must be eating s***!"


    "F*** him!"


    The small streamer angrily threw his keyboard and cursed loudly, but the viewers in the live stream did not agree with him.


    "Do you see this ID? Stupid streamer!"


    "He¡¯s [ming], do you recognize it? The new Asia server number one."


    However, the small streamer ignored their comments and continued his rant.


    "The first d*** in the Asia server, a damn cheater who got the first place by cheating, f*** him..."


    This behavior completely displeased his audience.


    "Don¡¯t understand, just blindly curse. This kind of streamer is disgusting. Unfollowed, bye."


    "I¡¯m going to watch Ming God on Douyu, this stream is just full of curses."


    "Encounter a skilled player and accuse them of cheating? Is it so hard to admit that others are strong?"


    "Saying others are cheating, please provide evidence. Even Weishen and Xiaoshizi say it¡¯s not cheating, and the monitoring station says everything is fine. Are you more professional than them?"


    "I used to quite like you, didn¡¯t expect you to be like this. Unfollowed, goodbye."


    The online viewers in the live stream, which originally had over ten thousand people, suddenly plummeted to just a few thousand.


    These remaining viewers were also a large group that continued to criticize him.


    Watching the attention he had painstakingly accumulated over the past few months drop in less than a minute, the small streamer was completely dumbfounded.


    Jiang Siming had no idea about all this, and even if he did, he would have considered such a person nothing more than a nuisance.


    After dealing with the small streamer, who had been hiding and healing at the staircase, Jiang Siming moved on to the third player.


    Slyly poking his head out from the staircase, the third player attempted to launch a surprise attack.


    But Jiang Siming, who had been keeping an eye on him, wouldn¡¯t let him have his way. As soon as the head appeared, Jiang Siming turned around and shot him, without even using the scope. ?a


    The person looked shocked as he fell on the stairs, and the viewers exclaimed, amazed that Win94 could also be quick-scoped!


    "The damage of Win94 is actually very high, equivalent to the 98k. Moreover, it has a hidden attribute you guys don¡¯t know about¡ªit can stack damage. As long as you hit the first shot, the damage of the second shot will increase slightly. So, as long as you can hit, even if you only hit the enemy¡¯s armor, three shots are guaranteed to kill."


    Amid the killings, Jiang Siming took a moment to educate his viewers.


    After clearing the second floor by removing the enemy¡¯s armor and healing items, he continued toward the third floor.


    Exiting the boxing arena, Jiang Siming already had seven kills.


    Mainly because he couldn¡¯t find the gun when he landed, so he couldn¡¯t participate in the early fights. When he arrived, many players had already died.


    At this point, Jiang Siming carried two Win94s on his back, both equipped with bullet loops to significantly speed up the reloading process.


    "Are you sure?" Jiang Siming revealed a smirk with a hint of profound meaning.


    He did have the skill "Fist Mastery," and he hadn¡¯t used it yet.


    "Sure, we¡¯ll be in the boxing arena, and no helmets allowed. You can start with full health," the girl suggested.


    "No need, this much health is enough. Let¡¯s say I¡¯ll let you throw the first two punches," Jiang Siming said generously.


    The girl didn¡¯t hold back either. Both entered the boxing ring.


    "This girl thinks I¡¯m only good with guns, but she doesn¡¯t know I have another identity, ¡¯PUBG Mike Tyson¡¯!"


    The audience obviously didn¡¯t believe this statement.


    "Bluff, keep bluffing!"


    "Ming God looks so cool when he¡¯s bragging!"


    "Waiting for the girl to single-handedly kill the streamer."


    The viewers enjoyed the spectacle.


    The girl facing Jiang Siming even kindly warned him, "Ming God, I often play custom boxing matches and have won many times. Be careful!"


    "Oh, I¡¯ve encountered the ¡¯Female Boxing Queen.¡¯ Alright, I¡¯ll give it my all," Jiang Siming responded with a smile.


    And so, the boxing match officially began!


    The girl started moving around the ring, occasionally crouching and throwing punches provocatively.


    It seemed like she knew how to have some fun in a fight.


    "Girl, are you performing acrobatics?" Jiang Siming asked with a laugh.


    "Ming God, this is my invented ¡¯PUBG Free Combat Technique.¡¯ You can¡¯t handle it," the girl proudly declared.


    "Alright," Jiang Siming chuckled and then asked the audience very seriously, "This cute girl..."


    "If I land a punch, she¡¯ll probably cry for a long time, right?"


    The audience burst into laughter. Was that even something a person would say?


    You find the girl cute, and your response is to give her a punch? Old Jiang, are you out of your mind?


    Having said that, Jiang Siming rushed toward the girl, leaped high in mid-air, and threw a powerful punch.


    Mid-swing, Jiang Siming playfully shouted, "Pegasus Meteor Fist!"


    Despite the girl¡¯s attempt to dodge, Jiang Siming accurately predicted her position, and the punch landed on her head.


    With that powerful punch, the girl was unexpectedly knocked out...


    "Player [ming] uses fists to kill player [qaqzz]."

 Chapter 37: Most Beautiful Confession

    Looking at the girl lying in a pool of blood, the audience felt both sympathy and found it somewhat funny.


    "Girl: I¡¯m the boxing champion! Ming God: Oh."


    "Hahaha, I¡¯m almost bursting with laughter."


    "One for the fans, minus one for the haters."


    "The girl was puzzled, ¡¯Aren¡¯t I the boxing champ?¡¯"


    "This is too much! They¡¯ve killed the girl! Seriously lacking thumbs-up!"


    Jiang Siming, feeling a bit embarrassed, gave a sheepish smile and said to the girl, now a corpse, "Sorry about that, my punches were too strong, couldn¡¯t hold back."


    Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly started crying!


    "Wuwa~~ Ming God, you¡¯re bullying me~"


    "This... I was wrong, can¡¯t I be forgiven? What do you want me to do? As long as it¡¯s reasonable, I¡¯ll agree."


    "Really?"


    "Yeah, really."


    "Then I want you to flirt with me in the gentlest voice possible, can you do that?"


    "Um... that¡¯s also okay."


    Agreeing to it, the girl stopped crying and eagerly awaited Jiang Siming¡¯s attempt at flirting.


    "Don¡¯t use cheesy lines, I prefer something more artistic."


    "Your demands are high, if you want to listen, then shut your mouth!" Jiang Siming pretended to ¡¯scold¡¯ in a not-so-angry manner, the other party chuckled and didn¡¯t speak again.


    The audience was also curious about what Jiang Siming would say, would Ming God flirt? Could it be something overly masculine?


    After clearing his throat, Jiang Siming became serious in tone, and when he did, the audience couldn¡¯t handle it, especially the female audience, who couldn¡¯t help but clench their legs together...


    "Do you know?"


    "To like you is probably to give up a thousand times in my heart. But as long as you turn around once, I¡¯ll rekindle hope to love you again."


    "Even if everything were destroyed and the yearning entered my bones, I would still treat you as if it were the beginning, as if time stood still."


    "I truly wish to spend my life with you, making tea with melted snow, watching the lights of a thousand homes under the same sky, and returning home when the moon sets."


    After finishing in one breath, Jiang Siming realized the live room had fallen completely silent.


    Then, the crying of that female viewer could be heard again. Unlike the previous time, which seemed fake, this time it was a soft sob, a genuine cry.


    "This is the usual state in Ming God¡¯s stream. Newcomers, take notes."


    "Having been here for two days, let me tell you, watching Ming God¡¯s stream requires full attention. Otherwise, you¡¯ll miss a fantastic move."


    "Newcomers, take your lessons. Cheers, everyone!"


    Just as he drove into the circle, Jiang Siming¡¯s conspicuous and arrogant vehicle drew attention from players scattered around.


    The car was about to explode, so he had no choice but to abandon it, temporarily hiding in a ditch, tending to his wounds.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s position was dire; merely exposing himself meant at least three people could spot him.


    Coupled with this high-level segment of the game, even Jiang Siming, not being a deity, could easily falter if he wasn¡¯t careful.


    The audience couldn¡¯t help but worry for Jiang Siming. It seemed like Ming God was about to die, and this match was beyond hope for him.


    However, it wasn¡¯t entirely his fault; that particular viewer had disrupted his rhythm for far too long.


    Otherwise, given Jiang Siming¡¯s style of play, there wouldn¡¯t have been this many people left in the final circle at this stage, and he wouldn¡¯t have ended up in such a terrible position.


    Watching alongside the audience were the 4am team members, currently in the Base Club¡¯s office.


    Weishen led the group, with several other team members gathered around, along with a few manager-coach figures seated on the side.


    Their computers were streaming Jiang Siming¡¯s live broadcast.


    "This guy is finally about to bite the dust," Xiao Xingmu said somewhat gleefully. After all, he still remembered the grudge from being wiped out by Jiang Siming. It felt satisfying to see him facing defeat.


    "He¡¯s not dead yet," Weishen said, a bit exasperated.


    "Look at this crappy position. I checked, and he¡¯s surrounded by at least six top-tier players. It¡¯s absurd to think he can survive," Xiao Xingmu analyzed reasonably.


    "Yeah, this position is terrible. And he¡¯s still using two Win94 rifles, is he just fooling around?" Aluka also agreed.


    Weishen glanced at Coach Aluo. The middle-aged man with golden-rimmed glasses kept his eyes fixed on the computer screen, a glint of wisdom shining in his eyes.


    "Whether he lives or dies isn¡¯t what we should focus on," Coach Aluo spoke up.


    "What we¡¯re observing is how he handles such an extreme disadvantage, whether he can stay composed and make some counter-attacks."


    The manager nodded in agreement, adding, "We¡¯ve been watching this person¡¯s livestream for two days. We¡¯ve only seen him excel in favorable situations, taking advantageous positions and getting kills."


    "Excelling in favorable circumstances doesn¡¯t indicate real prowess. It¡¯s only in adversity that one¡¯s true professional ability can be tested. Otherwise, no matter how strong he seems, he¡¯d only be a casual streamer in the gaming world," the coach supplemented.


    "Xdd from Douyu is a perfect example. He¡¯s impressive in casual modes, showcasing skillful moves and getting chicken dinners easily. But once RNG invited him to play professionally, it¡¯s been a different story. He hasn¡¯t even been able to formally compete. Why? Because he can¡¯t handle disadvantaged situations; he¡¯s quick to get impulsive and die in gunfights."


    After these comments, the group fell silent, watching the livestream silently.

 Chapter 38: Reaction Speed Beyond Human Limit

    Weishen was eager, hoping that Jiang Siming could perform well. He was keen on recruiting this teammate into his team.


    Experience more tales on


    Because his intuition told him that this person was so strong that they could transform the game!


    "The position is really bad. Three people have their guns aimed at me, waiting for me to show myself. If I peek, it¡¯s no different from giving away my life."


    Jiang Siming was very aware of his situation. He stayed still in the ditch, analyzing for the audience.


    "In such a situation, if you truly want to become a pro, never panic. Use all the available points you know, such as the one closest to me, that protruding rock at the foot of the mountain. It¡¯s the most likely to reveal my position. So, if I throw a smoke grenade towards his location, I can temporarily evade one of the dangers."


    "However, even if you have a lot of smoke grenades, you can¡¯t cover the positions of the other two. Because then, you won¡¯t know any of their positions. The moment you run out from the smoke grenades, you¡¯ll still get shot."


    "So, to seek advantage and avoid harm, you need to keep one enemy¡¯s position that you¡¯re confident you can eliminate. If it¡¯s someone with weak skills, I suggest choosing the person on the right side of the hill; they¡¯re easier to kill."


    "But I¡¯m choosing the one directly ahead at the window in the housing area. No more talk, action!"


    His analysis had the audience engrossed, and it made 4am¡¯s coach, Aluo, even more intrigued.


    Jiang Siming accurately sealed off the positions on the left and right with smoke grenades.


    When the smoke dissipated, Jiang Siming emerged from the ditch and ran forward.


    The player with the 98k rifle, not obscured by smoke, shot at Jiang Siming without hesitation.


    But Jiang Siming was much quicker than them in firing!


    While they were aiming, Jiang Siming had already shot with the Win94.


    The bullet went through the window, hitting the opponent in the forehead.


    "Darn it!" Jiang Siming cursed because he hadn¡¯t noticed the opponent was wearing a level-3 helmet.


    One shot hadn¡¯t instantly taken them out, making Jiang Siming¡¯s position even more precarious.


    The smoke began to dissipate. Starting from the left, the player near the cliff had already spotted him and aimed!


    The player who got hit on the head initially intended to use medicine but abandoned it upon seeing Jiang Siming get attacked, choosing to continue exchanging fire. r??


    This was the difference between a pro and a rookie. When rookies get hit, their first thought is to use medicine and restore their health before engaging again.


    But pros adapt to the situation and never easily spend so much time making their situation more dangerous.


    Suddenly, under attack from three sides. No, it was from three fronts! The smoke on the right also dissipated!


    Under such a three-sided assault, even someone as strong as Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t face it head-on.


    But Jiang Siming didn¡¯t give up. Instead, he began weaving in place, moving at the limits to dodge bullets.


    To the amazement of onlookers, Jiang Siming, in a critical situation with three opponents attacking at close range, managed to evade!


    These three opponents weren¡¯t rookies; every shot they made was aimed precisely at Jiang Siming.


    A shot from the Win94 rang out, penetrating through his skull!


    Reaction speed! Almost beyond human limits!


    In the instant the opponent¡¯s helmet barely appeared, a quick snipe was fired. How crazy was this reaction speed?


    Not to mention the viewers in the live broadcast expressing their amazement.


    Even in the 4am base, exclamations of disbelief were heard!


    "Is this guy still human?"


    "This is too amazing. Compared to him, I, as a professional player, feel utterly embarrassed!"


    "Is this really not cheating? Why can¡¯t I believe it?"


    "Human-shaped aimbot, confirmed."


    ...


    Even Weishen was shocked. He honestly admitted that such reactions might be possible when he was in top form during his professional days playing League of Legends.


    However, now he could ensure that he could never reach that level.


    Coach Aluo stood up at this moment, excitedly saying, "We must do everything in our power to recruit this person! Contact him immediately!"


    "Are you sure?" the manager asked.


    Aro didn¡¯t speak, but he opened his tablet, displaying the hexagonal diagrams representing the skills of 4am¡¯s players.


    Each angle of the hexagon corresponds to: marksmanship, awareness, reaction time, vehicle skills, physical agility, and leadership.


    Each player¡¯s hexagonal diagram had its strengths and weaknesses.


    For example, the youngest team member, Yongyuan, was good in marksmanship, reaction time, and vehicle skills, but lacked in other areas.


    Of course, his role in the team wasn¡¯t command-oriented, so awareness and leadership were irrelevant to him.


    Physical agility, except for Weishen who was slightly better, was almost a weak point for everyone.


    Weishen¡¯s hexagonal diagram was well-rounded, with strengths in each aspect.


    However, when compared to the latest hexagonal diagram that had just been revealed, he was merely considered good.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on that new hexagonal diagram, and their astonishment was palpable.


    This was an almost perfect hexagonal diagram, with marksmanship, reaction time, vehicle skills, and physical agility all maxed out.


    Only awareness and leadership were slightly weaker, but they were also very close to being fully developed.


    In short, this was a hexagonal diagram approaching perfection!

 Chapter 39: Hexagon Max

    Previously, A Luo analyzed the comprehensive strength of all domestic professional players using a hexagonal model. Among the best were OMG¡¯s Xiao Shizi, 17 Gaming¡¯s Shou, 4AM¡¯s former player and current member of SSS Gaming, Zhou Lili, and the eldest brother A+ from Ify, and so on.


    Their hexagonal profiles could only be compared with Wei Shen¡¯s; some were close, while some were slightly higher.


    Now, with this new hexagonal model, A Luo could confidently claim that, whether domestically or internationally, this formation would undoubtedly be the top in the world!


    "Really? Is it all settled?" Little Xingmu still seemed a bit incredulous.


    Coach A Luo chuckled and said, "Originally, I wasn¡¯t sure about his awareness and command abilities until today, but after watching his recent gameplay, I can confirm that this person, even in squad matches, will be a very competent lead!"


    "In that case, I¡¯ll contact him immediately!" Manager Lu Yun also clapped in excitement.


    "There¡¯s one issue: he¡¯s streaming on Douyu, while our entire team is on Huya. Will there be trouble?" A Luo expressed concern.


    "I¡¯ll negotiate the streaming issue with Huya and Douyu. Ideally, we¡¯d like to persuade him to come to Huya. If that¡¯s not possible, streaming on both platforms won¡¯t be an issue. It¡¯s his personal freedom," Manager Lu Yun replied.


    Wei Shen added, "We need to be quick. I¡¯m sure other teams, especially OMG and 17, also have their eyes on this person. They are actively recruiting new members." Experience new tales on


    "In that case, I¡¯ll get in touch immediately!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yun became eager and immediately set off.


    Wei Shen¡¯s guess was correct. Not only 4AM, but many professional PUBG teams were showing varying levels of interest in Jiang Siming.


    Among them, 17 Gaming and RNG were the most eager.


    OMG wasn¡¯t particularly interested in Jiang Siming because their team roster was full, and their members had been cooperating smoothly for over a year. They didn¡¯t want to easily change team members.


    However, RNG and 17 Gaming highly valued Jiang Siming. Their teams needed someone of his caliber.


    17 Gaming heavily relied on Shou¡¯s individual performance, while the other three members¡¯ skills were average.


    RNG had a balanced overall team strength; their technical levels were similar, not particularly outstanding but not weak either.


    They had previously invited Xdd, but his playstyle in competitions was reckless, similar to casual matches. He was impulsive, immature in mindset, and couldn¡¯t shoulder the team leadership. Even now, he was still undergoing coach training.


    Jiang Siming was unaware that several teams were vying to recruit him.


    This match was getting more exhilarating for Jiang Siming.


    The final circle had a significant number of players, and Jiang Siming frequently encountered two or even three opponents at once.


    The tension and excitement pushed Jiang Siming to perform at his utmost level.


    Almost every battle in the finals was a life-or-death situation!


    Note: This modifier can only be used once within 15 days, and it¡¯s advisable not to make drastic changes to avoid drawing attention.


    After understanding the information about this item, Jiang Siming was utterly astonished.


    Indeed, it was black technology. This thing was way too advanced.


    Easily breaching game loopholes and casually altering game programs.


    Jiang Siming only needed to input the game¡¯s name into this chip using his thoughts to perform the aforementioned operations.


    This was a nightmare for major game companies.


    Using this chip in online games to make money or casually modify game account items and sell them for cash¡ªit was entirely possible.


    However, he couldn¡¯t use this thing too recklessly, or it would undoubtedly attract attention from those companies.


    Jiang Siming temporarily stored away this black technology and resumed his live streaming.


    Suddenly, his phone rang, interrupting Jiang Siming¡¯s streaming.


    Glancing at his phone, seeing an unknown number, he thought it might be a sales call. Still, he picked it up intending to hang up in a second.


    "Hello..."


    Before the caller could speak, Jiang Siming cut them off.


    "I¡¯m not buying a car or a house, I don¡¯t have money to invest in a store, I¡¯ve already bought social insurance, and I don¡¯t need commercial insurance. Also, I¡¯ve won a Mercedes-Benz this year, two Volkswagen CCs, three Rolex watches, four global travel tickets, and nearly twenty million in cash, from various TV stations and major variety shows. So, I don¡¯t need any more lottery notifications.


    That¡¯s all I have to say. Do you have anything else to add? If not, I¡¯m hanging up."


    The audience burst into laughter upon hearing Jiang Siming¡¯s slick "self-introduction."


    "This sounds so proficient, how many times have you said it?"


    "Hahaha, it seems like Mr. Ming has been annoyed by sales calls many times, quite experienced."


    "Sales calls are indeed annoying. The winning messages and calls I receive are almost identical to what Ming-shen said."


    "Hilarious! The other party is speechless, hangs up, and probably adds you to the blacklist."


    "Salesperson: You¡¯ve finished reciting my lines, what else can I add?"

 Chapter 40: Recruitment By Major Teams

    What both Jiang Siming and the audience didn¡¯t expect was that the person wasn¡¯t a salesperson.


    "Your eloquence is impressive, Ming God, but I¡¯m not here to sell you anything. I¡¯m 4AM¡¯s manager, Lu Yun. I¡¯d like to discuss something about joining a professional esports team. Are you interested?"


    Wow!


    This news stunned the audience in the live stream. 4AM wanted to recruit Jiang Siming!


    "I know you¡¯re live right now, so how about we talk after your stream?"


    "Uh, sure, I¡¯ll call you after I¡¯m done with the stream."


    "Alright, I¡¯ll wait for your call."


    Click


    After hanging up, Jiang Siming gave an awkward smile to the audience. "I didn¡¯t expect it wasn¡¯t a sales pitch. Well, let¡¯s continue with the live stream."


    "Don¡¯t! 4AM is inviting you to join their team, Ming God, do you agree or not?"


    "You¡¯ll be with Weishen¡¯s team, Ming God, aren¡¯t you excited?"


    "Is Ming God going pro? Will that leave him with no time for streaming?"


    "I¡¯m really looking forward to Ming God¡¯s performance in professional matches, agree, agree!"


    The audience temporarily lost interest in watching the stream, all bombarding the comments to ask if Jiang Siming was willing to go pro.


    Jiang Siming pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, I want to go pro. Real strong players don¡¯t settle for casual matches. I also want to compete with professional players on the stage."


    Changing the subject, Jiang Siming added, "But I¡¯m used to being free-spirited. I might not adapt well to the routine of training in a club every day. I still prefer streaming as my main focus, after all, you guys are my most ¡¯beloved¡¯ people!"


    "Aww, that almost got me believing it."


    "Ming God, you¡¯re awesome, just for that, I¡¯m your fan!"


    "So cheesy, but I love hearing it!"


    "Will 4AM agree to this?"


    "If he joins 4AM, how will he continue streaming on Douyu? Will it affect that?"


    Seeing everyone asking one question after another, Jiang Siming felt overwhelmed.


    "Alright, everyone, stop asking. I¡¯ll talk about the details after I finish the stream. Once I have the results, I¡¯ll let you all know."


    Ring ring...


    The phone rang again, and Jiang Siming picked it up to listen.


    "Hello, I¡¯m Wang Dong, the manager of RNG¡¯s PUBG Club."


    After hanging up this call, 17shou, the captain of the 17 team from Douyu¡¯s live stream, came to Jiang Siming¡¯s live room.


    "Brother Ming, our team also wants to discuss your joining. How about we talk after your stream ends?"


    After sending off one team invitation after another, Jiang Siming finally managed to continue the stream quietly.


    This female streamer also paused her own live broadcast and plunged into Jiang Siming¡¯s live stream.


    "Wow! I just came from Er Ke¡¯s place, she fell for it too?"


    "Uh-oh, Xiaosufei¡¯s live stream also succumbed. Other female streamers, hold on!"


    "Ming God is like a goddess harvester! He¡¯s only been on Douyu for a few days, and a bunch of female streamers are mesmerized by him."


    "Xiaosufei, you gotta hold on!"Because everyone wanted to hear the original version of ¡¯Trotting Horse¡¯, the online audience in Room 99999 had already reached over 6 million, with popularity breaking over 20 million.


    Back when Chen Yifa almost secured her position as the top streamer on Douyu just by covering ¡¯Fairy Tale Town¡¯.


    If she hadn¡¯t made her own troubles, she¡¯d undoubtedly still be the top streamer on Douyu.


    Now Jiang Siming had written his own song, ¡¯Trotting Horse¡¯, not only the original version but sang it so well. It¡¯s hard not to become popular.


    When Jiang Siming returned with the guitar, there was a bit of oil at the corner of his mouth. He sneaked a piece of braised pork while grabbing the guitar...


    "Ready, here it comes."


    With that, Jiang Siming started playing the melody of ¡¯Trotting Horse¡¯ again.


    The familiar tune silenced the currently most popular live stream room; everyone was too captivated to send barrage messages.


    "The rain outside has stopped,


    The lights inside are still on,


    Counting your indifference,


    Playing with loneliness,


    After a long time, I finally raised my head to look,


    You were walking so slowly on the other side,


    Leaving me in a dilemma between dozing and reality..."


    After the song ended, the room flooded with virtual gifts.


    Emperor [Dumb Little Sister] sent 10 super rockets to [Ming]¡¯s live stream room!


    Emperor [Dumb Little Sister]: So good, so good, too good, Brother Ming, yaaay~


    Emperor [Little Tuantuan] sent 10 super rockets to [Ming]¡¯s live stream room!


    Emperor [Little Tuantuan]: Little Brother Ming, I¡¯m your crazy fan, la la la~


    With so many gifts pouring in, Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t keep up and could only collectively thank everyone.


    "I promised to sing two songs, and I won¡¯t break my word."


    The audience was thrilled. They could enjoy another round; they hadn¡¯t tired of the song even after listening to it for two days.


    Unexpectedly, Jiang Siming decided not to sing ¡¯Trotting Horse¡¯ again.


    "The next song is also my original, it¡¯s called ¡¯A Solo in Paris.¡¯ Hope you like it."

 Chapter 41: Singer Delayed By a Chicken Dinner Game

    The crowd was amazed!


    "Goodness, another new piece?"


    "The speed of this song is so wild!"


    "Ming God has written a new song again? Sing it quickly, let¡¯s hear it! I guarantee it will trend on Weibo!"


    "Oh my, is there any room left for other streamers?"


    "A singer delayed by a chicken dinner game..."


    No longer paying attention to the chat, Jiang Siming adjusted the strings again, made some preparations, and his slender fingers began to pluck the strings.


    A completely different melody echoed in the live broadcast room, unlike "Trotting Horse." The prelude of this song was even more beautiful.


    Like a chime ringing in the soul, melodious and resonant, with an elegance similar to a piano.


    "How to delete those photos about you


    How not to look at the messages of those conversations


    Find exclusive content at


    Can¡¯t let go, can¡¯t go back


    Might as well make a decision


    ..."


    The warm voice lingered in the ears, every lyric making people feel a bit heartbroken. This gentle heart-wrenching feeling was more profound.


    However, the earlier part of the song did not have an overly stunning performance, including "Trotting Horse."


    But this only increased everyone¡¯s anticipation for the chorus. "Trotting Horse" captured people¡¯s hearts with its chorus, and they wondered if this new song could have the same charm.


    Just as they were thinking, the hearts of the crowd suddenly felt like they had pushed open a door and saw a stunning sea of flowers under the Shangri-La snow mountain!


    "How did it become going to Paris alone


    How to let go of memories of two people


    Flew over ten thousand kilometers


    Counting the distance between myself and you


    How did it become going to Paris alone


    Searching for the scenery we once talked about


    Only to realize in the end


    I cared too much


    ..."


    The frenzied gifts pushed Jiang Siming¡¯s live stream room to level 80, just twenty levels away from the maximum.


    The number of fan badges reached ninety thousand.


    This growth rate, aside from PDD and Xuxubaby, was unmatched by anyone else!


    Perhaps only Lao Lu¡¯s return to streaming could surpass Jiang Siming¡¯s achievements.


    "Thank you, thank you, everyone. I will quickly turn these two songs into official versions and release them for free on major music platforms. Today¡¯s live stream ends here. Before leaving, I¡¯d like to perform a program for my reluctant audience."


    New viewers were still puzzled, waiting with curious anticipation.


    But when they saw Jiang Siming go offline in the next second, they all laughed and scolded...


    After finishing the afternoon live stream, Jiang Siming came out of his bedroom. The aroma of the meal from the dining table in the living room made him hungry.


    "Brother Jiang, are you done? Come and eat."


    Wang Xinyi, who came out of the kitchen, even had an apron tied around her waist.


    Jiang Siming went over, embraced Wang Xinyi, rewarded her with several sweet kisses, and then sat down to eat with her.


    After dinner, Jiang Siming first returned calls to various professional esports teams.


    He expressed that he could go professional but had a few conditions.


    First, he didn¡¯t want to live in the team base and didn¡¯t want interference in personal freedom unless there were major competitions or training sessions.


    Second, the training duration shouldn¡¯t be too long, as he needed to focus on live streaming. In exceptional cases, he would inform in advance about taking leave.


    Third, he could join as a professional player, didn¡¯t have to be the team captain, but the starting lineup had to reserve a spot for him.


    Many teams frowned upon these three conditions. After discussions, most of them gave up.


    Only 4am and Team 17 were still considering.


    Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t worried about whether any team would accept his conditions. His skills spoke for themselves.


    At the moment, what mattered most to him was doing some adult things with Wang Xinyi...


    On a quiet summer night, in a certain residential area in Shanghai, in the bedroom of a two-bedroom apartment on the eighteenth floor.


    A scene of spring blossoms was unfolding.


    Jiang Siming also got a bit of satisfaction. After drying the beauty in his arms, he carried her back to the bedroom.


    Continuing to sleep in Wang Xinyi¡¯s room, Jiang Siming no longer went to his own room. It had completely become his workspace for streaming.


    As soon as he lay down, Wang Xinyi fell asleep drowsily. Exhausted, she needed sleep for recovery.


    Jiang Siming, on the other hand, was very awake. Even though he still wanted to, knowing that his girlfriend was tired, he restrained himself.


    Taking out the chip he obtained today and pondering for a while, he used his mind to create a game on this chip.

 Chapter 42: Tuantuan: Playing Cute!

    [Game Program Modifier]: Dreaming Journey... Modifying... Please input specific modification program... In progress... Modification completed!


    Within a few minutes, Jiang Siming¡¯s bank card received two messages:


    "Your card ending in 6624 received a deposit of 3,500,000 credit at 23:11 on June 4th, with a balance of 9,348,540.22 credit. [Industrial and Commercial Bank]"


    There was another message from the Industrial and Commercial Bank congratulating him. They had automatically upgraded Jiang Siming¡¯s card to a Diamond membership, providing VIP services for future transactions, including free financial products and various other benefits.


    Jiang Siming paid no attention and just smirked at the newly added 3.5 million.


    This money was really easy to make!


    The game "Dreaming Journey" is one of NetEase¡¯s most profitable online games. It has been operating for over a decade and still stands strong. The profit value of top-level game accounts and equipment is extremely high. The most expensive account even sells for nearly tens of millions in the market!


    Jiang Siming used a modifier to silently create a top-level account in the game, then added a bunch of top-tier equipment and sold it in the market.


    Unbeknownst to anyone, in less than ten minutes, Jiang Siming made a net profit of 3.5 million.


    If he hadn¡¯t been cautious about arousing suspicion due to excessive modifications, Jiang Siming could have directly created an account worth over 10 million.


    This modifier truly lives up to its name as a black technology.


    In the future, Jiang Siming could easily make a huge fortune every half month relying on it. It¡¯s too good to be true!


    Currently, Jiang Siming has over 9.4 million credit in his account.


    Remembering a few days ago when he was a broke university student who couldn¡¯t even afford rent, Jiang Siming felt emotional.


    After making money, the first thing Jiang Siming thought of was his family.


    However, he wasn¡¯t quite ready to explain the source of the money to his parents. They wouldn¡¯t believe he earned it just by playing games, especially since he had sent them a hundred thousand not long ago.


    Jiang Siming decided it would be better to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to explain to his parents in person; it was too hard to explain clearly over the phone.


    After thinking it through, Jiang Siming happily hugged Wang Xinyi and entered his dreams.


    Little did Jiang Siming know, his new song had touched many hearts on this lonely night.


    A game anchor wrote two consecutive songs, both of which were very popular.


    This made Jiang Siming appear for the first time on the hot search list of Weibo.


    "A singer-anchor delayed by games, original singer of ¡¯Trotting Horse¡¯ and ¡¯Alone in Paris,(changed from Solo In Paris) ¡¯ Ming #WeiboTopic"


    Starting from the bottom, this Weibo topic climbed to the top ten throughout the night and by morning had reached the eighth position.


    The Weibo platform uploaded the audio of his two songs, which saw over 600,000 downloads overnight.


    Many users on Weibo were asking for the official version because the live recording had a lot of noise and a monotonous tune, causing perfectionists to be utterly distressed.


    But this year, several platforms have agreed; professional players can join as long as they are also streamers.


    Anyway, it¡¯s an individual competition, so professional players may not necessarily outshine others.


    This year, Douyu is determined to wipe out the shame of last year.


    "I¡¯ll participate, everyone don¡¯t worry." Jiang Siming gave a reassuring answer, easing the audience¡¯s concerns.


    As soon as he logged into the game and YY, Jiang Siming saw a message from Little Tuantuan on YY.


    "Little Ming, do you have time now? Take me to play games, pretty please... (crying emojis) x10."


    Seeing this, Jiang Siming pulled her into the YY channel.


    As soon as Little Tuantuan saw Jiang Siming, her grievances erupted.


    "Little Ming, wuwuwu..."


    "What happened? Who bullied you?" Jiang Siming asked, confused.


    "Wahh..." When Jiang Siming asked, she became even more distressed.


    "I played all day today, jumped with the parachute all day, sob... (complaining) In the last match, I met someone. He just hid behind that box and refused to come out. He insisted that I go first, and then I made a gesture (got angry), and as soon as I did, he killed me. I spent the whole afternoon just killing one teammate, it¡¯s so frustrating!"


    Tuantuan¡¯s distress was relatable, totally relatable!


    She poured her grievances to Jiang Siming, but she noticed that instead of consoling her, Jiang Siming seemed to be holding back a laugh.


    "Little Ming, you¡¯re bullying me too, wuuwuu..."


    Jiang Siming suppressed his smile and comforted her, "It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll carry you, is that fine?"


    "No!"


    "?"


    "I want to carry myself! I want to kill too!"


    "Okay, then let¡¯s go."


    The two clicked to start and entered the game.


    Tuantuan, still in the lobby, vented her frustration by hitting the air and couldn¡¯t stop thinking about her earlier unfortunate death.


    "Little Ming, let me tell you, next time if I meet such a person, I won¡¯t move either. I¡¯ll just watch videos since I have internet fees (proud), anyway, our home internet is not paid for outside, our electricity bill is so cheap (pouting)! I can just camp beside him all night! (angry)"


    Her cute yet fierce tone left Jiang Siming speechless.

 Chapter 43: Split Personality Tuantuan

    The plane took off.


    "I must get a kill this round; I can¡¯t just wander around without any dignity."


    Maybe it was the rhythm of her live chat that made Tuantuan feel even with Jiang Siming leading, she had to show her prowess!


    She didn¡¯t want everyone to see her as just someone carried by her ¡¯boyfriend,¡¯ even though she loved hearing that phrase.


    "This time, I¡¯ll be a killer, a killer with emotions! I have a strong sense of pride, just so you all know!"


    Jiang Siming let her chatter away by his side like an old lady, not bothered but somewhat entertained.


    Choosing a relatively remote city, they landed, only to find two other teams following them.


    "Great! Little Ming, if I get a kill this round, can you praise me, please?"


    "Sure, no problem," Jiang Siming readily agreed.


    With Tuantuan¡¯s confidence boosted by his affirmation, she chose a house a bit far from Jiang Siming.


    She was afraid he might snatch all the kills.


    Jiang Siming trusted in her skills and started searching on his own.


    However, not even half a minute passed before he heard her screaming in distress.


    "Wow! Little Ming, come quickly, please! I¡¯m begging you, I¡¯m about to die, wuwuwu, they¡¯re right outside my house!"


    Jiang Siming glanced over and saw that her health was already halved, indicating she¡¯d been hit.


    "I¡¯m coming over now; you hold them off."


    "I can¡¯t hold them off, wuwu, they¡¯re coming in!"


    "Then tell them, ¡¯Bro, don¡¯t kill me.¡¯"


    "Bro, don¡¯t kill me, please, I have a family... Ahh! Useless! They¡¯re rushing in!"


    "Switch to English, bilingual broadcast."


    "Oh... umm... brother...brother... dont...kill...me...no...no...no..."


    Their back-and-forth brought explosive entertainment to the live stream, leaving the audience in stitches.


    Perhaps Tuantuan¡¯s ¡¯sonic attack¡¯ had some effect; the opponents gave up on storming the building and opted to throw grenades instead.


    Jiang Siming swiftly wiped out the team as soon as he reached the scene.


    Tuantuan, still trembling from the ordeal, grabbed some items and stuck closely to Jiang Siming, not wandering off anywhere.


    "What about killing on your own?"


    When she clicked on her own match data, Tuantuan suddenly fell silent.


    Curious, Jiang Siming checked Tuantuan¡¯s data.


    KDA: 0.22


    This KDA was truly unique; he couldn¡¯t fathom how she managed to get it...


    Embarrassed, Tuantuan, unwilling to accept it, opened Jiang Siming¡¯s match data.


    KDA: 22.99


    Exactly a hundred times more than Tuantuan¡¯s...


    The audience teased Jiang Siming, saying he could defeat a hundred Tuantuans; the data was too tragic.


    With KDA rising again, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t feel much about it.


    He has become even stronger now. In the last chicken dinner, he received three white fragments: VSS, AWM, and MK14 mastery.


    The essential techniques for two airdrop snipers are now in Jiang Siming¡¯s hands. At this point, he has completely mastered the sniper rifle category.


    As they were planning to continue matchmaking, Jiang Siming suddenly received an invitation from [4am_govdzzz].


    "Wanna team up? I¡¯m soloing," the message from Weishen came.


    Jiang Siming directly added him to the team.


    "Wow, it¡¯s been a while, Weishen," Little Tuantuan greeted.


    Weishen smiled and teased, "Have you become arrogant with Old Jiang? You haven¡¯t asked me to play games with you for a long time. You used to call me every day."


    "Hehe, Little Brother Ming is really awesome now. I only need him to lead, that¡¯s enough for me."


    "Heh, women, always fickle creatures," Weishen scoffed.


    "Hey hey, Weishen, if you keep teasing me like this, I might file a complaint and report it to Sister Bee!"


    "Hey hey hey, just kidding. Don¡¯t take it seriously. Let¡¯s get started, Old Jiang," Weishen casually skipped the topic.


    The three officially entered the game. Weishen ignored Tuantuan and chatted with Jiang Siming.


    "The PCPI national elimination matches will start next month. We need to start from the domestic competition and at least get into the top three to qualify for the UK. If you have time this month, come for more training. We need to coordinate and practice tactics."


    "Yeah, if I don¡¯t have anything important, I¡¯ll come over."


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t take it too seriously because he believed that, in the face of true strength, tactics weren¡¯t reliable. The main purpose of tactical training was to increase the tolerance for mistakes in marksmanship. It compensated for deficiencies and errors in marksmanship.


    In this FPS game, as long as your skill level far exceeds others, any tactics are just a matter of bullets. Even if the enemy surrounds you, they need to reveal their positions in a gunfight. As long as they dare to expose their positions, Jiang Siming is confident in taking them down!

 Chapter 44: Jiang Siming’s Cursing Skill

    "The strongest anchor competition the day after tomorrow, will you go?"


    "Yeah, I will."


    "Then I''ll come over to pick you up by car, it''s quite far, in Putuo, Shanghai."


    "No need, I have a car."


    "Alright, see you then. I want to see what this voice actor, odd hermit, singer really looks like, haha."


    "Hope you won''t feel inferior after seeing me."


    "Hah, what handsome guy haven''t I seen?" Weishen dismissed it, not taking it seriously.


    But the silent Tuantuan''s thoughts were spinning.


    So, Little Ming is participating in the offline competition, if I go to participate... then I can meet Little Ming!


    The more she thought about it, the more excited she got. Tuantuan immediately called her best friend, asking her to book two tickets to Shanghai.


    As the three chatted and searched, with both Jiang Siming and Weishen, the game was very relaxed. Every time they encountered another team, they quickly and easily took care of them.


    However, each time, Jiang Siming killed three while Weishen only got one. The speed of Jiang Siming''s kills was much faster.


    Just as the three were having fun, an argument suddenly erupted through Weishen''s headset.


    "You ungrateful thing, who let you into the base? Get out!"


    "I haven''t terminated my contract with you, why can''t I enter?"


    "You shameless dog, why are you back? Sorry, we don''t need you anymore."


    "I will go in! I haven''t terminated the contract, I''m still part of 4AM."


    Weishen quickly told Jiang Siming through the headset, "Gucun has come to the base, let me handle this first, Old Jiang, you guys keep playing."


    "Sure, go ahead." Jiang Siming understood.


    However, this incident made everyone very curious. Wasn''t Gucun the one who left 4AM on his own? Why did he come back?


    "What''s the situation with Gucun? Can someone enlighten me?"


    Tuantuan, who was familiar with the inside story, explained to Jiang Siming, "Gucun''s contract was about to expire. 4AM wanted to renew the contract with him, but Gucun was dissatisfied with the renewal fee. He demanded a doubling of his treatment."


    "His treatment was already the best in 4AM. Doubling it would certainly be unacceptable for the club, so they refused. Gucun started to act up, not only intentionally avoiding competitions but also neglecting training and going out to play every day."


    Jiang Siming''s words became sharp, like a sharp file.


    "When your mother gave birth to you, she probably threw away the baby and raised the placenta, otherwise, how could you look like this?"


    "You look like an illegal construction site, with pits and bumps on your face like the surface of the moon. You call yourself ''lonely young master,'' but you''re just a pitiful guy!"


    "A person is cheap for a lifetime, a pig is cheap for a stab. You''re wasting air when alive and wasting land when dead, wasting people''s money at home!"


    "You''re a cute, charming, hardworking, white, small, new hybrid fish species always serving the people!"


    "Someone like you, if you go into acting, can only play a piece of crap in a TV drama, not even comparable to a piece of gum that a dog peed on by the roadside!"


    "The east is not bright, but the west is bright. You look like a moron!"


    A series of curses from Jiang Siming''s mouth were like a machine gun. They were not only extremely sharp but also without a hint of repetition.


    If someone were cursed like this, smoke would come out of all seven orifices.


    The audience burst into laughter while kneeling to Jiang Siming.


    "Hahaha, cursing people, I only admire Ming God!"


    "The king of cursing, Lu Laoye, is nothing compared to Ming God!"


    "Look at the appearance of our Ming God getting angry for Tuantuan, so handsome!"


    "Small mouth smeared with honey, my big bro Ming~"


    "Although they''re all curse words, why do I feel more relieved listening to them!"


    "Tuantuan, did you see that? Ming God abandoned his idol image for you. Where else can you find such a man?"


    Tuantuan, who naturally heard all this, couldn''t help but laugh through her tears. She was extremely moved.


    She vowed that if Jiang Siming confessed to her at this moment, she would definitely not hesitate to accept! Or maybe... she could confess too...


    Jiang Siming''s live stream popularity skyrocketed, even higher than when he sang yesterday.


    Viewers from Huya came over, not to mention the local viewers from Douyu.


    They were all attracted by this unprecedented battle of curses.


    The only one being infuriated quickly was Gucun.


    At this moment, the filthy words he wanted to retort were stuck in his throat because he felt that he was no match for Jiang Siming if he continued to curse indiscriminately.

 Chapter 45: Sniper Solo Showdown

    "Alright! I want to have a sniper solo showdown with you!" Gucun, who was on the verge of exploding, stopped cursing.


    It''s not that he didn''t want to curse, but he couldn''t win the curse battle...


    "So you, fucking, lo, do you think others should accompany you just because you want to do something? Is your head filled with ancient shit, thinking like a fly with no direction?"


    "F*ck your horse!"


    Gucun was completely furious. Ancient shit? Could he even accept such words?


    "Look at your level of cursing, even arguing with you makes me feel degraded. Hoeing crops in the midday sun, your mother sells her a*s, no one wants it, credit to Wang Laowu!"


    "I...I..."


    Everyone burst into laughter! The live stream room went crazy!


    However, Gucun, who quickly calmed down, started provoking with sarcasm, "If you don''t dare to solo, just say it. If all you know is cursing, then shut your mouth. This lonely young master doesn''t want to babble with a loser like you."


    Finally, the 4AM staff rushed over to rescue the situation and pulled Gucun away.


    It''s not that they didn''t want to come earlier; it''s just that Gucun brought two outsiders with him, blocking them from getting there in time.


    "Sorry, Old Jiang. Don''t mind him. I''ll kick him out right away."


    Weishen didn''t know exactly what had happened between the two. He only heard Gucun cursing Jiang Siming continuously and later getting extremely angry, mentioning a solo match with Jiang Siming.


    "Why would I mind? Why are you taking him away? I still want to curse him a bit more." Jiang Siming laughed.


    "Did you curse him? That''s great, brother, as long as you didn''t suffer. I''ll go deal with him."


    "Hold on." Jiang Siming stopped him.


    "What''s up?" Weishen was puzzled.


    "Tell him, the solo can happen, but there has to be a bet."


    As soon as Jiang Siming spoke, the audience was both surprised and excited. Is an even more exciting drama about to unfold?


    "Little Brother Ming... just forget it... it''s not worth getting angry over someone like him..." Tuantuan worried about Jiang Siming. She was afraid that if Jiang Siming made a mistake and lost, Gucun would keep taunting him, and she didn''t want to see Jiang Siming suffer.


    "It''s okay, don''t worry about this. If he dares to curse you, I''ll make him pay." Jiang Siming responded confidently, then continued to communicate with Weishen.


    Tuantuan stood still in front of the computer desk, a stream of emotion rushing into her eyes, making her eyes turn red.


    "What bet? Old Jiang, you''d better forget it. It''s not worth fighting over someone like him," Weishen also advised Jiang Siming not to act impulsively.


    However, Jiang Siming was determined. He spoke, "Tell him I''ll bet with him ¨C ten million credit and ten times calling me ''dad.'' If he dares to accept, I''m ready. If he doesn''t, then consider me not saying anything."


    Weishen didn''t see the chat of comments from the viewers. At the moment, he was ''captivated'' by Jiang Siming''s appearance.


    Tuantuan was also very curious, but considering that she would meet Jiang Siming the day after tomorrow, she wasn''t in a rush.


    The other members of 4AM also sighed, acknowledging that Jiang Siming''s looks were enviable.


    However, today''s focus wasn''t on this. Gucun, who had been waiting at the base for a long time, felt even more envious and annoyed upon seeing Jiang Siming in person. He was determined that Jiang Siming would pay a heavy price!


    "You mentioned the bet, so I''ll agree too. Ten million plus ten times calling you ''dad.'' But we need evidence. I had my lawyer prepare the agreement before your arrival. Take a look, and if everything''s fine, sign it. It''s better to avoid any disputes later."


    Gucun stood in front of Jiang Siming. His already small stature made him look like a dwarf compared to Jiang Siming''s height of over 1.8 meters.


    "Weishen, did you check it? Any issues?" Jiang Siming didn''t bother looking at the contract.


    "We''ve checked it. There''s no problem. It''s legally binding. However, the ten million must be paid in a lump sum. And the account must be entrusted to us. Whoever wins gets the account."


    "Then let''s get started. Hurry up; I need to get back to the live broadcast." Jiang Siming finished speaking and handed his bank card to Weishen.


    Both sides began setting up their computers. Since Jiang Siming joined 4AM, the base provided him with a computer, although he had never used it before.


    Jiang Siming started a live stream while setting up the game. He wouldn''t miss the chance to attract viewers during such an opportunity.


    The live stream audience instantly surged, causing a brief server overload on Douyu.


    Luckily, the tech team quickly opened several more large servers, managing to stabilize the live stream.


    "Old Jiang, did you forget to bring your own peripherals?" Weishen realized that Jiang Siming hadn''t brought his mouse and keyboard.


    Professional players usually have their own peripherals, and these are crucial because players get used to their feel and precision.


    Gucun had already set up his own keyboard and mouse.


    "No worries. I''ll use what you guys provided. It''s just dealing with a noob."


    Jiang Siming didn''t care. He slid the base-provided mouse and found it quite decent.


    Gucun sneered beside him. He would make Jiang Siming cry miserably soon!


    They set up a custom room. Both were sniper specialists on their respective teams, using the most common sniper rifle, the 98k.


    In this solo, they agreed to play seven rounds in total. The winner would be decided by the highest number of victories.


    The location for the solo was strictly regulated, set on a plain with each side having a single rock as cover. Only snipers were allowed, and they couldn''t use other weapons or throwables.


    This was already considered the fairest form of a solo match; the win or loss depended solely on the opponent''s skill.

 Chapter 46: Total Defeat

    The stage was set.


    Jiang Siming suddenly called over Weishen and whispered, "Whose red Ferrari is parked outside?"


    "It''s Gucun''s. Why?" Wei Shen replied.


    Jiang Siming chuckled and said to Gucun, "Dare to up the stakes? Let''s bet on your car parked outside."


    "My car''s worth three million. Can you afford it?" Gucun scoffed.


    "My RS7 is about the same, and I just bought it a couple of days ago. I''ll throw in an extra five hundred thousand. How about that?" Jiang Siming proposed.


    "Hmph, trying to bluff me by raising the stakes? Dream on! Lawyer, revise the contract!" Gucun called over his lawyer and drew up a new agreement.


    The new contract included the previous ten million plus each of their luxury cars.


    This represented everything Gucun owned. If he lost, he''d be left with nothing.


    And with his public image shattered, no one would buy into his gaming or live broadcasts.


    Yet, Gucun wasn''t worried. He had extreme confidence in his skills.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have become a pillar-level player for 4am in such a short time. With his sniper rifle in hand, he was unstoppable.


    Of course, Jiang Siming was no different. If he lost, he''d lose all he had amassed in a short time. But he was entirely unconcerned; he could earn it all back quickly.


    With the revised contract in place, the bet was on!


    This solo match had attracted countless spectators.


    Jiang Siming''s live stream had an unprecedented audience of over eleven million viewers! His popularity reached a staggering 210 million!


    Numerous wealthy individuals joined, including someone named "Traveling Frog Brother," a high-profile user.


    This user had recently come over from the League of Legend team''s move to the Douyu platform. Although their level was below one hundred, they still attracted a large audience because their owner was the head of the League of Legend team!


    "A solo match worth over ten million, interesting. If the streamer wins, I''ll send three million in gifts!" Traveling Frog Brother suddenly sent this message in the live chat, igniting the audience''s enthusiasm. No one doubted the authenticity of their words.

    However, Jiang Siming hadn''t seen it. At this moment, he and Gucun had already entered the game and landed in their respective spots.


    Both of them had only one Kar98k and just a level-one helmet. One shot to the head meant instant death.


    Their solo match officially began!


    Gucun poked his head out first and fired a bold sniper shot toward a rock, clearly taunting.


    But Jiang Siming didn''t budge; he didn''t show himself.


    Gucun fired another shot, but Jiang Siming remained hidden.


    "You coward, if you don''t dare to fight me, why play a solo match?" Gucun boasted, convinced that Jiang Siming wouldn''t dare to engage in a gunfight with him.


    He once again popped up, firing another shot in Jiang Siming''s direction.


    The third round began immediately.


    Bang!


    Despite his increased caution, Gucun couldn''t escape Jiang Siming''s deadly shot.


    Jiang Siming, who has won three games already, is not far from victory, and the live broadcast room is full of excitement.


    The fourth game begins.


    However, Gucun no longer dares to show himself. Even though Jiang Siming has fired two rounds of bullets, he chooses to stay hidden and not come out like a turtle.


    "What''s the matter? Why aren''t you coming out? Is this how you play solo?" Weishen impatiently asks.


    Gucun retorts, "Is it mandatory to come out?"


    "You''re really a pain!" Weishen curses angrily.


    But Gucun still refuses to come out; he wants to delay as long as possible.


    "Not coming out, huh?"


    Jiang Siming smiles, no longer provoking with gunfire. He simply holds his sniper rifle and runs towards Gucun.


    If you won''t come out, then I''ll come over and beat you up!


    Gucun sees Jiang Siming unable to resist running over, feeling delighted. He wants to make Jiang Siming unable to resist coming over, so he can engage with him and surely win!


    While Jiang Siming is running, Gucun bravely sticks his head out, fires a shot, and immediately retreats.


    But Jiang Siming seems to know his trick entirely; going straight, he suddenly turns and easily evades Gucun''s shot.


    Feeling unwilling to give up, Gucun shows himself again and takes another shot.


    But once again, Jiang Siming sidesteps his movement!


    Seeing Jiang Siming getting closer, Gucun starts to panic, aims, and shoots, but Jiang Siming casually shoulder-shoots him, exploding his head.


    The match ends! 4-0!


    Weishen and others excitedly cheer, rushing to Jiang Siming, patting him on the shoulder.


    "Old Jiang, you''re really amazing!"


    "I''m amazed, I''m amazed, so strong!"


    "From now on, you''re my big brother, here are my knees!"


    Not just them, Jiang Siming''s live broadcast room is also celebrating like it''s New Year''s.


    Numerous wealthy viewers are crazily sending gifts; it''s so satisfying!


    Equally, they are truly impressed by Jiang Siming''s skills, beating professional player Gucun, rendering him unable to even retaliate, this level of strength is truly impressive!

 Chapter 47: Level Skyrocketed

    Jiang Siming''s live stream level skyrocketed from level 80 directly to level 90!


    During this period, he received at least six million gifts, including three million from "Traveling Frog Brother."


    Jiang Siming flashed a triumphant smile, having earned a considerable fortune this time.


    With the agreement in effect, Jiang Siming''s account gained an extra ten million credit, and he even received a red Ferrari worth three million.


    Gucun sat paralyzed in his chair, his face filled with defeat and despair.


    From this moment on, everything he gained from PlayerUnknown''s Battlegrounds and 4am was wiped away.


    Heaven and hell, all within these few minutes.


    "What are you pretending to be dead for? You still owe me ten ''Dad''s."


    Jiang Siming didn''t let Gucun off, walked over, and demanded repayment.


    Gucun clenched his teeth, smashed the keyboard, and walked out of the base on his own, with the two "henchmen" he brought also leaving surreptitiously.


    Jiang Siming didn''t care about Gucun''s debt; he had anticipated it long ago.


    Winning thirteen million, those ten "Dad''s" didn''t matter to him, and he had no intention of dealing with this silly son.


    "I don''t want to drive that Ferrari outside, it''s been driven by dirty people, too stinky. Help me put it on the second-hand market for a low price." Jiang Siming said, with killing intent in his eyes.


    Weishen nodded with a smile, "Sure, I''ll give you the money after selling it."


    "Okay, then I''ll leave now. I earned over ten million in one trip, really good." After speaking, Jiang Siming closed the livestream and went back.


    Because of today''s solo match, Jiang Siming became famous in the PlayerUnknown''s Battlegrounds community.


    Players and professional teams all knew that 4am had added a super powerhouse, a sniper god who could completely crush Gucun!


    The teams that wanted to recruit Jiang Siming were all regretting it. If they had known he was so strong, they would have agreed to any demands he made!


    The happiest one was 4am. With the addition of such a powerful sniper god, their confidence in competing in PCPI would greatly increase.


    Back home, Jiang Siming opened the livestream again. There were still over eight million people waiting online.


    "Congratulations, a battle to fame!"


    "Ming God, your operations are so satisfying, you''ve silenced that player who doesn''t dare to talk nonsense."


    "I declare Ming God as the world''s number one sniper. Any objections?"


    "The global title is not confirmed yet, but he is definitely the number one sniper in the country!"


    "Before you came back, the livestream level had already risen to level 91. Are you happy?"

    Today''s Streamer Ranking: 1st


    This data left Jiang Siming very satisfied. It seems the saying about big streamers making money fast holds true.


    Jiang Siming has already resigned from his job as a companionship player, despite having the highest rates in that field.


    But Jiang Siming no longer has time to work as a companionship player.


    He took on the companionship player role solely for the purpose of earning money, and now with a better career option available, Jiang Siming naturally chooses the superior option.


    However, Bixin still keeps Jiang Siming''s profile there. Although it indicates that he is temporarily not taking orders, Bixin still wants to ride on Jiang Siming''s popularity.


    They also express that as long as Jiang Siming is willing, Bixin is ready to open the doors for him at any time.


    Jiang Siming does not oppose Bixin''s attempt to capitalize on his popularity and accepts it generously.


    This is Jiang Siming''s gratitude for his first gaming job and his way of giving back to the Bixin platform. He believes that when one receives kindness, it is crucial to always remember it.


    Closing his computer, Jiang Siming''s phone suddenly rings.


    Opening it, he sees a message from a somewhat familiar name.


    "Do you have some free time, handsome?"


    This person is named "Jiang Lan."


    Jiang Siming recalls that this is the woman who kissed him a few days ago at the music academy.


    "Not free for the heart, but might be for the kidneys."


    The other person hesitates for a while before replying again. Surprisingly, this time it''s a location shared through a message: "You might consider the kidneys, but do you have the courage to come?"


    The message includes a selfie of the girl, teasingly posing.


    With delicate features and fashionable, seductive attire, she still manages to evoke the most primitive impulses in men.


    The background of the photo seems to be a bonfire barbecue party, with quite a few other young men and women visible around.


    Being looked down upon by a woman for the first time, Jiang Siming expresses his inability to tolerate it.

 Chapter 48: Enter With Imposing Presence!

    Coming out of his room, Jiang Siming noticed that Wang Xinyi was about to sleep.


    "Xinyi, I need to go out again," Jiang Siming sounded a bit uneasy.


    He admitted to himself that he wasn''t the kind of person to commit. His fondness for Wang Xinyi was more about her gentle, kind, and innocent nature. Although they had established a relationship, while he could genuinely treat Wang Xinyi well, he couldn''t entirely devote himself to her.


    Moreover, Wang Xinyi alone couldn''t satisfy his needs as a man. Every time they got intimate, Wang Xinyi seemed fatigued, leaving him feeling frustrated. He couldn''t just force her against her will, potentially risking her health or even her life.


    "Okay, take care," Wang Xinyi hugged Jiang Siming before he left.


    While getting into the car, Jiang Siming unexpectedly found three condoms in his pocket, which he hadn''t placed there. The only possibility was that Wang Xinyi secretly put them there.


    In fact, Wang Xinyi had known for a while that Jiang Siming couldn''t belong to her alone, especially considering his prowess, akin to a male star, in the bedroom. She realized that although Jiang Siming liked her, it wasn''t love; they had only been together for less than a week.


    Rather than forcibly clinging to him, which might eventually hurt both of them and even push away the person she cared about, she decided to let him be. As long as she held a place in his heart, that was enough for her.


    Furthermore, she secretly hoped there would be other girls who could bear the burden for her. The thought made her legs tremble involuntarily.


    Jiang Lan sent Jiang Siming the location at the Fisherman''s Wharf in Fengxian, Shanghai.


    By the time he arrived, it was one in the morning, yet the beach was still bustling with activity.


    Numerous young men and women gathered here, enjoying food, drink, and fun in groups; it was a paradise for nighttime activities.


    A huge bonfire lit up the entire beach.


    A group of young people were barbecuing while chatting, and several couples were even dancing around the bonfire.


    Among them, a beautiful girl sat by the fire, constantly looking down at her phone, seemingly waiting for a reply.


    Next to her sat a boy who bore some resemblance to Zheng Kai, continuously trying to please her with a lovesick expression that was obvious to bystanders.


    However, the girl wasn''t impressed by his efforts and merely responded politely.


    "Little Lan, you should know my intentions. Although my family isn''t exceptionally wealthy, they have agreed to give me money to buy a car in a few days. Mainly because they don''t want me to stand out too much at school. They''ve only promised around five hundred thousand."


    "What brand of car do you like? Just tell me, and I''ll buy that brand. I''ll pick you up from school every day and take you out. Or if you want, I''ll give you the keys."


    The other boys and girls present immediately started flattering him.


    "Wow, fifty thousand! Zhang''s a rich kid."


    As everyone''s gaze shifted, a young man not much older than them stepped out of the car and walked slowly towards them.


    As soon as this man appeared, he captivated the attention of all the girls present.


    "He''s so handsome!"


    "Wow, how can this guy be so good-looking!"


    "Could this be Jiang Lan''s friend?"


    "I wonder why Jiang Lan never agreed to Zhang Wei''s pursuit. Turns out, she already has someone in her heart."


    "Shut your mouth! Can''t you see Zhang Wei is about to explode?"


    Indeed, Zhang Wei''s expression changed several times, but he held it in, barely.


    "Little Lan, is this your friend?" Zhang Wei forced a smile.


    Ignoring him, Jiang Lan ran towards Jiang Siming alone and resolutely threw herself into his arms.


    Zhang Wei witnessed this scene and nearly exploded with anger. He had pursued the goddess for almost half a year, treated her with the utmost care and tenderness, yet he hadn''t even touched her hand. And here she was, showing up and willingly throwing herself into Jiang Siming''s embrace. It was something no man could accept.


    He had assumed Jiang Siming would be ecstatic about it, but to their surprise, his expression wasn''t as joyful as expected. Instead, it seemed a bit aloof, and he was communicating with Jiang Lan in a way they couldn''t hear due to the distance.


    "Are you asking me to be your scapegoat? If that''s the case, please let go. I''m not that foolish," Jiang Siming''s words made Jiang Lan panic for a moment. She quickly explained, "You misunderstood. I absolutely didn''t mean that. He''s just my schoolmate who''s been pursuing me.


    I wanted to see you today. There''s absolutely nothing else. If you''re still angry, I can leave with you right now, and you don''t have to say a word to them."


    Jiang Lan''s first favorable impression was of Jiang Siming, and she was afraid that he would be angry and misunderstand her because of this situation.


    After a moment of silence, Jiang Siming said, "Remember what you promised me today, to ''explore the city'' with me."


    Jiang Lan''s face turned bright red instantly, and she softly murmured an agreement.


    This made Jiang Siming smile again. He took the initiative to pull her closer and walked towards the group of young men and women.


    "Hello, I''m Jiang Siming, Jiang Lan''s boyfriend."


    It was a declaration of authority, without any courtesy, dominating and direct, just like when Jiang Lan and Jiang Siming had first met, straightforward and unambiguous.

 Chapter 49: Fisherman’s Wharf

    Zhang Weiqing blushed, feeling the intimidating pressure from the other party but still retorted, "Just because you say so? I''ve never heard that Jiang Lan has a boyfriend like you."


    Upon hearing Zhang Wei''s words, Jiang Siming released Jiang Lan and walked step by step to Zhang Wei.


    At just around 1.7 meters, Zhang Wei was a whole head shorter than Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming fixed his sharp gaze on him, exuding a powerful aura.


    "When did I become her boyfriend? Do I need you to manage that? Even if it''s my first time meeting her, if I say she''s my girlfriend, then she is. What can you do about it?"


    Such an unreasonable and overbearing response left Zhang Wei momentarily speechless.


    Following that, Jiang Siming turned to the others with a smile and said, "You''re all Jiang Lan''s friends, right? Thank you for taking her out to play."


    After saying this, without waiting for any pleasantries from these people, Jiang Siming turned back to Jiang Lan behind him and said, "From now on, stay at the school at night, except for me, no one can call you out, do you understand?"


    With Jiang Lan''s face turning red, what did he mean by no one could call her out except for him? What did he want when he called her out at night?


    Although Jiang Siming''s words were somewhat overbearing, she obediently nodded, resembling a compliant and obedient little girl.


    Jiang Lan''s friends were shocked. When did their usually independent school flower become so obedient to a man?


    "Alright, let''s have fun today. There won''t be another chance like this. Lead the way."


    After Jiang Siming finished speaking, he reached out to Jiang Lan, and she obediently came over, linking her arm with Jiang Siming''s and leading him to the beach.


    Leaving behind a group of astonished classmates.


    "Zhang, what''s going on?" one of Zhang Wei''s close friends asked, feeling displeased.


    At that moment, Zhang Wei felt like he was wearing a huge green hat.


    "Let him boast for a while. We''ll find a chance to deal with him later!"


    Naturally unwilling to accept the loss of the woman he loved, Zhang Wei took the lead, and the other classmates followed suit.


    The beach bonfire seemed to burn even brighter with Jiang Siming, the ''enemy,'' arriving.


    Everyone returned to their original places.


    Only the spot next to Jiang Lan had already been taken by Jiang Siming.


    While eating the barbecue Jiang Lan had made, he also had time to look around for other beautiful girls.


    Jiang Lan, feeling aggrieved, pursed her lips, her cheeks flushed with a charm that made one''s mouth water, as if one wanted to take a bite.


    "Am I not pretty enough?"


    "Pretty? I took a glance, congratulations, it seems like you are the most beautiful among these girls," Jiang Siming stated matter-of-factly.


    Jiang Lan was pleased to hear that. As the school''s flower, she had received countless compliments on her looks from boys, but none made her as happy as Jiang Siming''s words.


    "Roast me another chicken wing. They''re quite tasty."


    "Sure! Coming right up."


    The beach gathering was in full swing, but Jiang Siming wasn''t in the mood to stay much longer.


    Instead of staying with a group of strangers, it was better to take Jiang Lan away to a hotel and have a more ''intimate'' conversation.


    As he was about to leave, Zhang Wei suddenly stood up and walked to a place where everyone could see, loudly declaring, "Fellow students, I''ve noticed everyone is here for their own enjoyment, which isn''t ideal. I suggest each of us performs either by singing or playing an instrument."


    "Coincidentally, our academy''s three most authoritative music teachers are here today. Let them judge and select the top three students who perform the best."


    "I''ll personally sponsor this event, giving each of them a gift worth up to 30,000 credit as long as they request it. How about that?"


    As soon as Zhang Wei finished speaking, almost all the students shouted in agreement.


    Students from the music academy were highly enthusiastic about performing and being on stage, much like students from the film academy; this was their forte, their passion.


    Moreover, with such expensive gifts to offer, everyone naturally agreed.


    The three teachers were also willing to be judges. Thus, the impromptu beach music competition began.


    The teachers gathered all the students into a circle.


    In the center of the circle were many instruments, all brought by the students themselves.


    In the very center stood a microphone stand borrowed from the shop owner.


    Jiang Siming couldn''t easily leave now; all eyes were on him.


    He didn''t mind much, but the main concern was that it wouldn''t be convenient for Jiang Lan to leave. It wouldn''t be considerate to leave her alone. He decided to stay until the end of this inexplicable music competition and then leave immediately.

 Chapter 50: Folk Song Astonishing Everyone!

    The competition started quickly.


    One after another, students went up to showcase their talents, singing love songs, beautiful melodies, and playing various instruments.


    Zhang Wei also stepped up and affectionately sang a love song. What annoyed Jiang Siming the most was that he was singing his own song, "Trotting Horse." Though it was far from his level, it was being compared to him. Compared to other students at the academy, he was still quite good.


    Finally, it was Jiang Lan''s turn. To Jiang Siming''s surprise, this stylish and graceful girl''s talent was playing the Chinese zither. She played exceptionally well, earning unanimous applause from classmates and teachers.


    After all the students performed, the teachers were preparing to select the top three. However, Zhang Wei stood up, eyes fixed on Jiang Siming, and said with a smile, "We still have one person who hasn''t performed. Friend, please?"


    Jiang Siming remained unmoved, even looking at him mockingly with one leg crossed over the other. He understood now¡ªZhang Wei was setting him up.


    "He''s my boyfriend, not a music student," Jiang Lan stood up in his defense.


    Zhang Wei smiled awkwardly and said reasonably, "Exactly because he''s your boyfriend, he''s also considered half a member of the music academy. Since he''s here, we should go with the flow. We aren''t pressuring him, it''s all for fun, right? No matter how he sings, it doesn''t matter, does it, everyone?"


    "Yes, he dared to win our school''s beauty. Shouldn''t he have the courage to sing on stage?"


    "Zhang is right, we''re all here to have fun, let''s not make it complicated."


    "Just a song, nothing more. The teachers are watching, don''t worry."


    Many students echoed and supported Zhang Wei''s words, partly because of their good relationship with him and partly due to some boys'' jealousy toward Jiang Siming for getting the most beautiful girl. They didn''t mind throwing stones at him while he was down.


    Jiang Lan was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say.


    Unexpectedly, Jiang Siming stepped out from behind her, striding toward the center of the beach.


    Originally not planning to join the fight, but being swarmed made it impossible not to engage.


    He had to face it; if he didn''t act, they would see him as afraid.


    Among various instruments, he picked up a guitar, quickly tuned it, and stood by the microphone.


    "This guy can play the guitar too?" Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow, feeling something indescribable.


    Only a few of them had seen Jiang Siming perform before, but now he was standing in the middle of the entire crowd.


    The entire grade of students had their eyes fixed on Jiang Siming.


    This time, the girls really went all out, collectively screaming, blushing, and heartbeats racing. They even spontaneously cheered for Jiang Siming, becoming an impromptu support group.


    "Southern girl Have you grown accustomed to the autumn chill of the north? Southern girl Do you like the straightforwardness of northern people?..."


    As the chorus began, all the students on the beach couldn''t help but fall in love with this song.


    Most of the students from the music academy actually didn''t like popular songs; they preferred niche folk songs.


    Jiang Lan stood opposite, quietly listening to the song like everyone else. However, as she looked at the man in front of her, her eyes revealed a kind of admiration typical of a young girl, clearly visible without words.


    Until the end of the song, while everyone was still savoring it, Jiang Siming had already put down the guitar and returned to Jiang Lan''s side.


    "Young man, which music academy did you graduate from? What year were you in?" A teacher hurried over, asking kindly.


    "I didn''t attend any music academy; just sang for fun," Jiang Siming took out a cigarette, lit it, and nonchalantly smoked in front of the teacher.


    The look with squinted eyes while holding the cigarette fascinated a large group of female students. Some people, even if they looked handsome, didn''t have a good-looking way of smoking. Smoking seemed to be an innate talent that required a particular skill.


    You needed to establish a master-prop relationship with the cigarette. The cigarette was a prop that adorned your temperament, not a silly action of just smoking away like a chain smoker.


    The difference between the two was like heaven and earth.


    For details, you could refer to the looks and temperament of Leslie Cheung and Takeshi Kaneshiro when smoking. Jiang Siming didn''t lose to them in any way.


    The teacher didn''t mind at all; instead, he laughed with surprise.


    "Young man, your musical talent is very strong. The song you just sang was a folk song, right? Did you write it yourself?"


    "Just wrote it randomly," Jiang Siming replied half-heartedly.


    "Do you have any interest in joining our music academy? I can assure you, with your musical talent and my help in finding a music company to package you, you can become a somewhat famous folk singer in the next few years."


    "No interest, gotta go." Jiang Siming took Jiang Lan''s hand, turned around, and left.


    "Hey young man, you are the first place; there''s a gift for you!"


    "I don''t care about those things."


    Having said that, Jiang Siming had already taken Jiang Lan into the car. As the engine roared, the car disappeared from everyone''s sight.


    "What a pity, what a pity for such a good talent."


    The teacher was still lamenting...

 Chapter 51: Most Powerful Anchor Competition

    That night, Jiang Lan couldn''t remember how many times she had reached climax. After it all ended, she drank two large bottles of water, resembling someone who had just walked out of a desert, her whole body feeling almost dehydrated.


    After quenching her thirst, Jiang Lan continued to lie down on the bed, completely drained, and fell asleep with her head turned.


    The next morning, Jiang Siming''s car arrived once again at the entrance of the Music Academy.


    Jiang Lan got out of the car, waved to Jiang Siming, and then walked into the campus gracefully. However, her walking movements were quite awkward, like someone who had twisted their ankle, limping along.


    Jiang Siming, liberated in both body and mind, returned home. Wang Xinyi had just woken up.


    Seeing him return, Wang Xinyi didn''t mention anything about Jiang Siming''s whereabouts last night, continuing to act as if nothing had happened.


    "Are you really not bothered?" Jiang Siming couldn''t help but ask.


    "Actually, I do mind, but when I think about it, if I tie you to my side and can''t satisfy you, wouldn''t it be self-inflicted suffering? In that case, I''d rather let you ''cheat,'' and I can reduce some pressure."


    Wang Xinyi continued, "But there''s one thing we must make clear. Don''t touch those dubious women; otherwise, I won''t forgive you."


    Saying this, Wang Xinyi pouted, waving her small fist in front of Jiang Siming to assert her authority.


    The next day.


    The super-large esports arena established by Shanghai Putuo Tengxuan was overcrowded today.


    This newly-built esports arena, located in the prime area of Putuo District, was not open to the public and was only used for PUBG competitions.


    One couldn''t help but marvel at the powerful market for esports nowadays and Tengxuan''s financial strength.


    This prime location was exclusively used for hosting competitions, similar to buying a villa and only using it for playing mahjong with friends.


    At this moment, inside the Tengxuan Esports Arena, vibrant lights illuminated the surroundings.


    Unlike the League of Legends competition venue, which only needed ten computers for a small area to host an exciting match, PUBG competitions were entirely different. They required hundreds of computers to support the matches.


    Because it was a solo competition and to prevent screen peeking, these computers were spaced about half a meter apart from each other.


    This filled the entire esports arena, and there were no seats for spectators because there simply wasn''t enough space.


    Only the peripheral area had seats for referees, commentators, and many cameramen capturing the action.


    These cameramen came from various major streaming platforms. They aimed to transmit firsthand information to their platforms'' live broadcasting rooms.


    Whoever could capture the most popular players would naturally have the highest popularity on their streaming platform.


    This time, the Most Powerful Anchor Competition was more grandiose than the previous year.


    So, the person next to Dumb Little Sister was Little Tuantuan!


    Since Little Tuantuan''s live streams didn''t use a camera, many didn''t know what she looked like.


    Different from Dumb Little Sister''s beauty, Little Tuantuan exuded an elegant charm, slender figure, small face, and belonged to the cute type.


    With her usual voice, many viewers in the chat rooms exclaimed they were falling in love!


    Completely fitting their mental image of Little Tuantuan! And they looked good together.


    Especially since both girls seemed meticulously dressed, knowing they were here for a gaming competition, others might mistake them for coming for a blind date.


    The two girls stole many scenes and attracted a lot of admiring glances from male anchors.


    However, their ''expressions of love'' were completely ignored by the two girls, who were looking around the hall, as if searching for someone.


    Finally, seemingly finding what they were looking for, Little Tuantuan grabbed Dumb Little Sister and rushed towards Weishen.


    "Senior Wei, did Little Brother Ming come with you?" Little Tuantuan asked about Jiang Siming''s whereabouts instead of catching up with Weishen.


    "Oh, Little Tuantuan, didn''t expect you to look pretty good. But Old Jiang didn''t come with us." Weishen shrugged.


    "Brother Ming probably hasn''t arrived yet. He said he''s on the way via WeChat, but there''s some traffic." Dumb Little Sister said.


    "What if he arrives when the match has already begun? Then I won''t have time to talk to Little Brother Ming!" Little Tuantuan pouted cutely.


    "You silly girl, even if you can''t talk during the match, you can meet afterward." Dumb Little Sister tapped Little Tuantuan''s forehead with her pinky finger.


    Hearing this, Little Tuantuan giggled, realizing that she was indeed being too impatient.


    "Who knows what Little Brother Ming looks like? Do you think he might look chubby like Senior Wei?" Tuantuan teased me with a mischievous smile.


    Dumb Little Sister gave her a playful side-eye and said, "If you drool later, I won''t forgive you."


    "So, you''ve seen Little Brother Ming before?"


    "Of course!"


    "Then tell me quickly, what does Little Brother Ming look like? How tall is he? How much does he weigh? Is he chubby?"


    "You''ll know soon enough, he''s absolutely handsome!"


    "Really? I''m so looking forward to it!"

 Chapter 52: Crazy Attracting Female Fans!

    Time slowly passed, and the participating anchors arrived one after another.


    The hosts had also arrived. This time, for the competition, two popular female hosts from League of Legends, Yu Shuang and Rita, were invited.


    After all, they weren''t commentators; the two beauties were solely responsible for hosting, and there wouldn''t be any issues about the difference between gaming and professionalism.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, friends of the audience, the second Strongest Anchor Contest is about to begin in fifteen minutes. All 100 anchors are basically present. Let''s quietly await today''s battle for the strongest anchor!"


    "That''s right. The Strongest Anchor Contest today consists of three rounds. The scores from each round will be added up. Killing one person scores 30 points, a ''chicken dinner'' scores 200 points. The person with the highest total score will win the title of the Strongest Anchor."


    "Wow, Shuang Shuang, killing scores are so high in this round of the contest?"


    "Yes, in this Strongest Anchor contest, if you kill more than six people, it''s already equivalent to a ''chicken dinner,'' so anchors, killing is the key."


    The two female hosts were introducing the rules while checking the competition time.


    There were only ten minutes left until the start of the competition.


    In the Douyu live broadcast room, a large group of anxious fans were still eagerly waiting.


    "Why hasn''t Ming God arrived yet?"


    "Being late should disqualify him from the competition!"


    "Could it be that he''s too ugly to show up?"


    "Is this the ''Sniping God'' you guys hyped? He can''t even play in offline matches?"


    "The upstairs is my pet dog. Please don''t mind it."


    Because the competition was about to start, Jiang Siming hadn''t appeared yet, inevitably inviting criticism from some people.


    The anxious Dumb Little Sister and Tuantuan in the venue also went to communicate with the referees, explaining Jiang Siming''s situation of being stuck in traffic.


    However, the rules of the competition were very strict, and the referees did not consider such reasons.


    In fact, in events jointly held by multiple platforms, other platforms would rather your platform''s anchors encounter problems and not show up. This way, they''d have one less competitor.


    "What should we do? Little Ming hasn''t arrived yet." Tuantuan was so anxious that she couldn''t even sit still. If it weren''t for Dumb Little Sister holding her back, she would have gone out to look for him.


    "Don''t worry, don''t worry. Didn''t Little Ming say that his route had a traffic accident, but it''s been cleared, so he should be here soon."


    After Dumb Little Sister finished speaking, a figure walked in through the entrance.


    "The last one to arrive at the scene is Ming, a new member from the Douyu platform and also 4am! Ming is quite courageous, making it here against the odds."


    Yu Shuang teased with a smile, then turned to look at Jiang Siming.


    The lights on the scene were just in time, focusing on Jiang Siming. With more than ten cameras aimed at him, Jiang Siming had ''no escape'' and revealed his true appearance, just like his voice.


    "You''re the one smitten! If you keep talking nonsense, I''ll shut you up!"


    As Jiang Siming sat in seat 32, the person next to him looked familiar. It was none other than the renowned instructor, Dasima.


    "Ming God, hi! I really admire your Chicken Dinner skills. If there''s a chance, could you duo with me, little bro?"


    Faced with Dasima''s initiative, Jiang Siming graciously agreed, smiling in response.


    "Quickly set up your peripherals, the match is about to start," Dasima kindly reminded him.


    Jiang Siming nodded, taking out the keyboard and mouse he brought with him. Originally, he didn''t intend to, but Weishen told him that the on-site mouse wasn''t usually great.


    After setting up his peripherals, Jiang Siming logged into the game. A referee came over to check Jiang Siming''s computer for any prohibited electronic plugins.


    In a previous CS:GO match, an Indian player brought a cheating USB drive, sneaked it in while nobody was watching, and started performing all sorts of miraculous headshots and quick scopes. When discovered, this Indian player tried to delete those plugins with his super-fast hands, but they were still found in the recycle bin.


    Even though the technology for detecting FPS cheats is advanced, if someone is really cheating, the game''s system can surely detect it.


    However, many referees and inspectors were patrolling the venue to prevent anyone from taking risks and creating such scandals, which would be very unfair to other players.


    After checking Jiang Siming''s computer and confirming no issues, there were five minutes left until the match started.


    "Brother Ming, Brother Ming~"


    A familiar voice reached Jiang Siming from a distance. Turning around, he saw Dumb Little Sister sitting a bit far away, smiling and waving at him.


    It was Jiang Siming''s first time seeing the real-life version of Dumb Little Sister, who looked just like she did on her livestreams. The only difference might be the absence of restrictions in reality. Her smile was bright, and her makeup was nice. In short, except for having a slightly smaller chest, everything was perfect.


    Jiang Siming smiled back at her and said, "Hello there, Dumb Dumb."


    Dumb Little Sister was overwhelmed by Jiang Siming''s smile, but this sweetness made her unable to resist.


    On the other side, Tuantuan naturally noticed it too. Initially hesitant to greet Jiang Siming, now it seemed like she had to.


    "Little Brother Ming~ Little Brother Ming~ Guess who I am?"


    Jiang Siming turned his head and saw another beauty waving at him, not inferior to Dumb Little Sister. Although they had never met, her voice revealed her identity.


    "Hello, Tuantuan. You look just as beautiful as I imagined," praised Jiang Siming.


    Tuantuan blushed shyly but couldn''t hide the smile that crept up on her face.


    "Brother Ming, you didn''t compliment my beauty. I''m upset now," Dumb Little Sister said in a ''jealous'' tone.


    "Do I need to say you''re beautiful? I thought you already knew that about yourself."


    With a casual sentence, Jiang Siming easily resolved the situation. Dumb Little Sister was then more delighted than Tuantuan, laughing as if she were a little silly.

 Chapter 53: First Blood Secured

    The entire venue was quiet as the competition hadn''t begun, and many people weren''t wearing headphones.


    Jiang Siming and the two girls'' conversation naturally fell into the ears of others.


    The male anchors nearly had heart attacks out of jealousy, seeing such beautiful female hosts only flirting with him. It''s too much¡ªwhy is it just him getting the attention, and from two girls!


    Compared to their "resentment," there was a subtle envy among the women present. Many female anchors had decided to approach Jiang Siming after the competition to ask for contact information. A guy like him was quite desirable.


    The three of them casually chatted amidst the crowd, the laughter of the two girls dispersing the tense atmosphere.


    The chief cameraman, seeing that the competition hadn''t started, decided to focus all the cameras on Jiang Siming and the two girls, earning unanimous praise from netizens.


    "Two minutes before the start of the match, let me reiterate the rules."


    Rita returned to the central area of the venue.


    "This competition is divided into three matches. Killing a person earns 30 points, a chicken dinner is worth 200 points. For the top three, second place gets 100 points, third place gets 50 points. The scores of all five matches will be accumulated to determine the winner of this edition of the Strongest Anchor Tournament."


    "No teaming up is allowed in this competition. If found, the match will be canceled, and the anchor''s professional qualifications will be revoked!"


    "Any form of illegal plugins is strictly forbidden. If discovered, the case will be handed over to the authorities!"


    "After the match begins, communication is prohibited. The first offense will result in a warning, the second offense will lead to disqualification!"


    After the slightly serious explanation, the atmosphere at the scene became tense again.


    Speaking could lead to disqualification, teaming up could lead to losing your anchor career, which meant your broadcasting platform would be shut down. This was a collaborative event of numerous platforms, so hopping onto another platform after being banned from one wouldn''t work.


    And let''s not even talk about using hacks¡ªreporting to the authorities.


    Clearly, this competition was much stricter than the previous one, and after Rita''s announcements, there was silence at the venue.


    Jiang Siming and the two girls also remained silent; they needed to adhere to the rules.


    The cameras scanned every anchor present. Among the hundred anchors, many were recognizable faces¡ªThomas, Lan Zhanfei, A+, 17shou, Xue MM, and various top players from professional teams.


    Apart from these experts, there were entertainers like Miss, Da Sima, and Dumb Dumb in this match.


    Today''s competition attracted the attention of nearly all platform viewers, and all the audience was rooting for their favorite anchors across different live streams. r


    Picking up the gun, loading it, he glanced up. The other parachutists were still airborne, but only one was closest to him. Jiang Siming decided to take care of this nearby competitor.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Bullets shot from the rifle barrel, hitting an unprepared parachutist struggling with their descent.


    "Player [4am_ming] used M16 to eliminate player [huya_dongxiaosa]."


    The elimination message appeared on the top right of the public screen, visible to everyone.


    From the start of the plane journey until now, this was the first player elimination, and it was Jiang Siming who secured it. And the victim was none other than Dong Xiaosa, a well-known anchor from Huya!


    The Huya executives'' expressions darkened considerably.


    The first death at the beginning was from their platform. This was a major blow to their reputation.


    The live stream cameras quickly replayed the scene of the elimination. People witnessed Jiang Siming swiftly landing, picking up a gun, and quickly taking out Dong Xiaosa before he even landed.


    This caused a stir in the various live stream chatrooms:


    "Haha, Ming God is mighty! First elimination!"


    "Dong Xiaosa died in the first match, what a noob."


    "Huya Platform: Dong Xiaosa, your salary''s gone!"


    "Kill Ming God, as expected! Jumping next to me, courting death."


    "Dong Xiaosa has no gaming experience, haha."


    While viewers were excitedly discussing, the executives from Douyu and Huya had contrasting emotions¡ªone was happy, the other disappointed.


    "Damn it, I died before even landing!" Dong Xiaosa cursed angrily at the screen.


    "Please refrain from speaking. Stay where you died and don''t move or talk," the stern referee behind him reminded. He immediately fell silent, feeling unfortunate for not checking his horoscope today¡ªa stroke of bad luck.


    Meanwhile, in a corner of the map, Dumb Dumb and Tuantuan, who were cautiously looting, saw this information and smiled. Their admiration for Jiang Siming seemed justified¡ªhe was indeed the best!


    The information had the most impact on the remaining four at the airport. Hearing the shots and then seeing the elimination message, they understood one thing: Jiang Siming was not only the fastest parachutist, but he was also close by in Building C!

 Chapter 54: Attempting to Kill Ming But

    "This is the recently popular and well-known Ming God, right? You''ve got some skills. I''ll meet you in a while after picking up a gun. Killing you will definitely boost my popularity."


    A young man, neat and wearing glasses, muttered to himself while operating the keyboard and mouse. Despite the other''s fame, he didn''t seem to be intimidated at all.


    He was in K building, very close to C building.


    After Jiang Siming killed an opponent, he noticed that everyone else had quickly landed. His plan to continue hunting was temporarily put on hold.


    However, Dong Xiaosa dropped a white fragment for him, which made Jiang Siming happy.


    "Picked up [Crossbow Mastery] fragment *1 (1/1), fragment count is full, can be used directly."


    Crossbow skill? Not bad. After all, it''s a good start. Anything is better than nothing.


    Learning the skill, Jiang Siming decided to loot downstairs, searching the entire C building. His equipment was not impressive - level one helmet, level two armor, an M16 rifle, and a Win94.


    It could be said that this was the poorest loot in C building. Jiang Siming wanted to complain. Why did his luck in looting things always seem worse than others''? It''s just too unfair!


    As he was about to leave, from the window of the last building''s second floor, Jiang Siming saw a shady figure running toward him.


    Currently, the PUBG matches were all in FPP mode, the first-person perspective.


    TPP matches, the third-person perspective, were rare. They were almost not held anymore because TPP matches could be exploited by campers, making victories less honorable.


    Therefore, they were organized only in the first year and gradually canceled later on.


    In FPP mode, enemies couldn''t camp and the gunfights were relatively fair.


    When Jiang Siming saw the person, the opponent also noticed him. That''s the advantage of FPP.


    In TPP, Jiang Siming could have easily camped by the window without being seen, which would be unfair for someone attacking the position.


    Since both sides had spotted each other, there was no need to hide. They raised their guns and started shooting!


    Bang!


    Bang bang!


    Jiang Siming was hit once while the opponent took two shots, one of which landed on the head.


    Jiang Siming was hit in the chest, but with level two armor, he only lost less than a fifth of his health.


    The opponent was different; having lost half his health, Chen Zihao quickly gave up the gunfight and hid behind a wall to heal.


    Chen Zihao, the left-handed sniper expert and idol of numerous domestic fans, had transitioned from CrossFire, possessing exceptional talent and strong skills.


    At that moment, footsteps approached again, getting closer. Chen Zihao, alarmed, aimed his gun at the direction of the sound, shooting at where Jiang Siming had just been.


    Did he hit?


    That was the only thought in Chen Zihao''s mind.


    Just as he thought about it, suddenly, a burst of gunfire sounded behind him, startling Chen Zihao.


    The white screen effect disappeared, and Chen Zihao fell to the ground.


    Unbelievably, Jiang Siming had come from behind him...


    From start to finish, he had been outsmarted by Jiang Siming.


    The flashbang dazzled him, then Jiang Siming appeared from behind and took him out effortlessly.


    He had been frantically shooting in the opposite direction, making a fool of himself.


    Thinking of killing a renowned streamer to boost his popularity, he should have prepared to be killed by one.


    Clearly, Chen Zihao wasn''t ready...


    The on-site female commentator Xiaotong smiled and said to everyone, ''This time, Ming God took down the opponent effortlessly with just a flashbang. Take notes, it''s really useful when charging up close.''


    "Yes, unfortunately, this FPS genius, Chen Zihao, was defeated by Ming God," another commentator, Xie Yan, added, saying something polite about Chen Zihao.


    After taking down Chen Zihao, Jiang Siming looted everything from him.


    This guy was much richer than him; level two helmet, level two armor, an M416 with an SKS, and even a 6x scope.


    With updated gear, Jiang Siming dashed towards the elevated highway, also known as the ''dough stick,'' the highest shooting spot in the airport.


    He ascended and activated the 6x scope, scanning for the remaining three targets in the airport.


    With the scope, under his ''eagle eye,'' nothing escaped his sight.


    Soon, Jiang Siming spotted a figure in the satellite building.


    This person was still searching inside the satellite building, while Jiang Siming had already set up his gun, waiting patiently for him to come out.


    After just a short wait, the person ran out of the satellite building, planning to search for more gear in the airport cave.


    But before he could take a few steps, gunfire echoed through the desolate airport.


    With the SKS on rapid fire, three shots hit him directly. Without even a chance to react, he tragically met his demise.

 Chapter 55: Extreme Counter Kill

    During the live broadcast replay, when the audience saw this scene, they all wore expressions of sympathy.


    Commentator Xiaotong even exclaimed on the spot, "This quickscope is too accurate! You know, Ming God is about two hundred meters away from the opponent, three quick shots in less than a second, the first hitting the head and the second hitting the body. How did he manage to do that?"


    Commentator Xieyan also agreed and marveled, "His SKS only has a suppressor, and he doesn''t even have a cheek pad. Achieving this level of skill is truly astonishing."


    Another commentator, Qianyi, expressed admiration in his words, "Ming God''s sniping skills are the strongest among all players and streamers I''ve seen, without exception. He''s a man who can easily defeat those who are left alone!"


    Many male viewers, upon hearing Qianyi''s admiring tone, couldn''t help but exclaim. Could it be that their idol Qianyi was also becoming a fan of Jiang Siming? No way!


    After eliminating this person, Jiang Siming took a look at the opponent''s ID, realizing it was someone he didn''t know, probably just a small streamer.


    With the 6x scope aimed again, Jiang Siming searched around but didn''t see any trace of the remaining two people. It seemed like they had already run away.


    Well, they had to run away, right? In such a short time, he had already secured three kills. Whoever dared to challenge him would be wise to run first!


    Unable to find anyone, Jiang Siming decided to stop searching. He descended from the overpass and looted the third person''s crate, finding a golden fragment lying inside.


    Jiang Siming was very happy; he noticed that the drop rate for these tournament fragments was much higher than when he played regular matches. Killing only three people, he already obtained two fragments.


    "Picked up [Luxury Villa within the Second Ring of Lujiazui, Shanghai] fragment*1 (2/3), fragment quantity not full, unable to use for now."


    Awesome! Just one more fragment, and he could get himself a villa. Hehe.


    After looting everything, Jiang Siming hopped on a motorcycle and drove away.


    The poisonous gas circle didn''t shrink at the airport but in the inland area. To escape the poisonous gas, Jiang Siming had to pass through the two bridges.


    On the two bridges, two people who had just slipped out of the airport lay in wait on either end, silently waiting for their prey to arrive.


    Compared to the last time, Jiang Siming entered the airport from the inland side. There was a sailboard on the bridge that he could use to cross the sea directly to the opposite side.


    However, he couldn''t cross in the opposite direction now, and Jiang Siming had no choice but to charge anyway. With his motorcycle''s incredible speed, he quickly reached the bridge.


    A figure hiding behind cover on the opposite side of the bridge revealed a sinister smile.


    "Jiang Siming, because you broke ties with me and my live-streaming popularity plummeted, I''m getting cursed by haters every day. Today, I''m going to turn you into a sieve. I want to make your fans cry in rhythm!"


    This person was none other than Chen Sigou, a streamer on the same platform as Jiang Siming.


    As soon as he learned that Jiang Siming was at C building in the airport, he immediately rushed to the bridge to seek revenge.


    Originally, he had been currying favor with Tuantuan, gaining popularity day by day, and continuing to build relations with Tuantuan.


    What happened? They didn''t see it just now!


    Fortunately, the competition had a replay function, and they immediately replayed the segment where Jiang Siming was ambushed on the bridge.


    First, Jiang Siming''s motorcycle passed through the center of the bridge, and the opponent rushed out from cover, firing wildly at Jiang Siming.


    The bullets were extremely accurate, hitting Jiang Siming''s body twice.


    However, the subsequent actions left the two commentators with wide-open mouths and astonished expressions.


    After seeing the opponent blocking the bridge, Jiang Siming instantly switched seats, pulling out a rifle in the blink of an eye.


    Since the motorcycle had no support stand, without someone controlling the front wheel, it would fall.


    So, Jiang Siming, switching to the back seat, fell together with the motorcycle.


    This caused all of Chen Sigou''s subsequent bullets to miss.


    During the fall, Jiang Siming aimed his rifle at Chen Sigou and fired a burst, killing him on the spot!


    This entire counter-kill process had been in Jiang Siming''s control from the moment he saw Chen Sigou blocking the bridge¡ªa seamless sequence of actions.


    If he had switched seats a little slower, Chen Sigou might have already killed him.


    It was precisely because of the swift seat switch that the motorcycle tilted over, evading the fatal bullets.


    Then, during the fall, Jiang Siming, at an incredible angle, eliminated Chen Sigou.


    In total, Jiang Siming was facing the ground, firing at almost a 180-degree angle, not much different from shooting upside down.


    Even so, he managed to kill Chen Sigou.


    "This is... truly incredible..." Xieyan couldn''t help but comment.


    "Ming God''s operation in this move will definitely make it into the highlights of this year''s streamer competition, maybe even as no.1," Xiaotong acknowledged.


    Qianyi chimed in with a smile, "Ming God was able to conquer millions of viewers in less than a week; there''s a reason for that."


    Xiaotong teased, "Miss Qianyi, are you planning to become a Ming God fan?"


    "Not planning, I''ve been one for a long time!" Qianyi proudly replied.


    At this moment, not many viewers paid attention to the commentators'' banter. They were still trying to comprehend Jiang Siming''s extraordinary operation.

 Chapter 56: Treating the Match as Casual Game

    "Xiu''er, stop showing off. I''ve already lost my knees."


    "This is definitely a top-tier move, so impressive!"


    "How can Ming God be this strong? Is this something a human can do?"


    "Chen Sihou failed to ambush and got counter-killed. Tsk tsk, retribution!"


    "My husband is so amazing, sob sob sob, love you~"


    ...


    Although he killed a small streamer from his own platform, Douyu was still very happy. Ming God killed just one streamer, but gained the admiration of the entire platform''s audience.


    Originally, there were just over 13 million online viewers, but due to Jiang Siming''s impressive move, the number quickly rose to over 16 million. A big win!


    After eliminating the old camper who blocked the bridge, Jiang Siming also found out the person''s ID. He didn''t bother searching his loot, and after recovering, he continued driving the motorcycle.


    This time, no one dared to block him, and Jiang Siming smoothly rushed out of the bridge. By this time, the first circle had already started, and the map was shrinking, causing streamers who had been camping to meet each other.


    Deaths started to occur, and the number of players rapidly decreased.


    When the first circle finished, there were still 75 people on the map. Considering the increased kill points due to rule modifications, some players were willing to engage in gunfights and fight for kills.


    When the third circle finished, there were still more than 70 people on the map, which was quite surprising. Since no killcam appeared, the official brought up the score rankings.


    Apart from the dead players who had 0 points, the lowest score was 30 points, as surviving each circle automatically added 30 points. There were a whopping 45 players with 30 points.


    These were people who either avoided encounters or simply wanted to play safe and avoid combat.


    The next level was 60 points, earned by those who killed at least one person. The top ten ranks, from sixth to tenth, had 90 points, with a kill count of 2.


    The top three ranks had 120 points, with a kill count of 3. Only Jiang Siming had 150 points with a kill count of 4.


    The gaps weren''t significant, and the players below were catching up quickly.


    Qian Yi, with a hint of pride, said, "This is why Ming God is so popular. His livestream is full of violent aesthetics ¨C he just fights whenever he sees someone."


    Isn''t that right? Jiang Siming rode his motorcycle to the edge of the circle and found someone setting up in the house area. He immediately drove his motorcycle into the opponent''s housing area.


    Miss, who was searching for items in the room, was scared and shivering. She quickly positioned herself at the stairs, aiming the gun at the front.


    However, the opponent never showed up. Three consecutive grenades were thrown in from outside the window, and Miss, with nowhere to hide, was blown up on the spot.


    "Ming God, the flower destroyer, killed Miss with a grenade. Miss''s gaming experience must be terrible right now." Little Tong expressed sympathy.


    But immediately, Qian Yi spoke up for Jiang Siming, "Ming God doesn''t know that it''s Miss inside. Official matches don''t care about that."


    Little Tong sighed and said, "Qian Yi, you''ve completely ''betrayed''."


    Qian Yi''s mood was unknown, but all Little Tong knew was that many male viewers must be feeling very sad right now.


    After killing Miss with a grenade, Jiang Siming didn''t see any fragments. He didn''t even bother going inside; he just rode his motorcycle away, continuing to search for the next prey.


    Unconsciously, the camera almost locked onto Jiang Siming in the competition.


    There was no choice; other areas had little combat, and Jiang Siming played so violently and bloodily. The cameraman could guess who the audience wanted to see.


    "The cameraman is smart, should have done this earlier."


    "Ming God''s camera ¨C missing it might mean missing a highlight kill. It should have been locked directly on him."


    "Did the cameraman get paid? Only focusing on one person?"


    "The one upstairs must be silly. Have you seen other streamers play this aggressively?"


    "Just watch my husband; other streamers are too timid."


    "Bloody Index: Exploding Star! Ming God''s livestream really makes your blood boil."

 Chapter 57: Poor Little Tuantuan

    Jiang Siming''s motorcycle roamed freely, speeding through various locations.


    What''s terrifying is that some streamers seemed to have guessed that it was Jiang Siming on the motorcycle. Many streamers hesitated to attack him; even when the motorcycle passed by, they dared not shoot. After so many deaths at the hands of Jiang Siming, they didn''t want to invite trouble.


    Of course, this applied to ordinary-level streamers. Some top-notch players and professional esports athletes were not so willing to accept this audacious playstyle.


    In particular, a professional sniper named Bu Guniao, playing for LGD, was unhappy with Jiang Siming''s bold approach. When he saw Jiang Siming''s motorcycle passing by his elevated position, he took the chance to open fire.


    With precise marksmanship, typical of a professional player, Bu Guniao hit Jiang Siming twice, with one of the shots landing on his head. Jiang Siming''s health bar quickly plummeted, as the level 2 helmet couldn''t withstand the power of the continuous sniper shots.


    Remaining calm, Jiang Siming swerved his motorcycle in an "S" shape, evading Bu Guniao''s subsequent shots. Reaching cover, he calmly restored his health, peeking out to locate Bu Guniao.


    Just as he exposed himself, Bu Guniao took another shot, narrowly missing Jiang Siming, who quickly dodged it. Knowing Bu Guniao''s position, Jiang Siming, though at a disadvantage on the lower slope, aimed his gun and fired with precision.


    Both players seemed to have their tempers flaring up, aiming at each other simultaneously.


    "Do you think you''re a sniper god? Today, I''m going to take you down!" Bu Guniao, with a fiery personality, didn''t back down from Jiang Siming''s playstyle, confident in his own skills.


    However, despite his bold claims, Bu Guniao managed to hit Jiang Siming only once, while he himself received three consecutive headshots. It was only when he lay lifeless on the cold hill that Bu Guniao snapped out of his daze, realizing he was defeated.


    "Is it really possible for a person to achieve such a rapid rate of consecutive sniper shots?" Bu Guniao yelled at the screen, unwilling to accept the outcome.


    "Oh! Bu Guniao chose to challenge Ming God, but unfortunately, although both are using SKS rifles, Jiang Siming''s SKS is obviously much more powerful," Xiao Tong evaluated impartially.


    Xie Yan also nodded in agreement. Although they couldn''t comprehend it fully, they could see the vast difference in the consecutive sniper skills between the two sides.


    "Ming God can perfectly control the recoil and the shortest interval between each shot. Only with such precision and speed can he achieve such accurate consecutive headshots. This kind of technique is unheard of in our country.


    With a talent like this, we can expect great results from 4AM team in the upcoming PCPI tournament!" Xie Yan, who always remained neutral and unbiased in his commentary, spoke with rare admiration.


    Eliminating Bu Guniao, the opponent once again dropped a fragment for Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming was extremely happy.


    The purpose of playing so recklessly was to kill more and collect more fragments. Being the first wasn''t so urgent for him.


    This time, he got a red fragment, and fortunately, this red fragment was something useful that could be activated with just one piece.


    "Picked up the [English Proficiency] fragment *1 (1/3), fragment quantity not full, unable to use temporarily."


    Regarding English, Jiang Siming, a prestigious university graduate, admitted to passing only the CET-6 and had relied on a dorm mate''s help to get through it. After graduating for two or three years, he had long given back that bit of English knowledge to his teachers.


    When she looked at the ID of the person who killed her, Tuantuan was left in tears, crying with a mournful face and muttering, "Retribution~ wuwu~"


    "Player [4am_ming] used the 98k sniper rifle to kill player [douyutv_tuantuan]."


    The one who killed her was her ''beloved,'' Brother Jiang.


    Seeing Tuantuan''s ID, Jiang Siming was also stunned, never expecting that it would be Tuantuan.


    Uh, she shouldn''t blame me, after all, I didn''t know who this person was...


    Jiang Siming awkwardly smiled, raised his head to glance at Tuantuan''s position, and found her staring at him with a ''cute and fierce'' expression.


    Jiang Siming gave her a ''sorry'' look, and Tuantuan then resumed her smile.


    With a blink of her beautiful eyes, she made a cute expression similar to the animated character Chiyo, indicating that she wasn''t angry and letting Jiang Siming relax.


    But the audience didn''t know this; they were having a great time.


    "Hahaha, Tuantuan, you deserve it, you''re crazy about ''aborting''."


    "It''s okay, dying at the hands of your beloved, no regrets."


    "Is Ming God here carrying out justice by exterminating relatives? Hahaha, I love this plot!"


    "After the match, will Tuantuan make Ming God kneel on the washboard?"


    "Don''t be ridiculous, whenever Tuantuan encounters Ming God, she turns into a little obedient puppy. She must be a strict wife."


    "Look, Ming Godis too ''excessive,'' he even went for the ''heavens package''! Killing is ruthless; Tuantuan says I want to cry..."


    In the camera, Jiang Siming indeed ran down the hill and looted Tuantuan''s loot crate.


    He wasn''t doing it for the equipment; it was because Tuantuan dropped fragments, a red fragment to be exact.


    "Picked up [Martial Arts Proficiency] fragment *1 (1/3), fragment quantity is full, can be used directly."


    After picking up the fragments, Jiang Siming couldn''t help but sigh softly.


    "Tuantuan, your crate is really fat! I won''t forget everything you contributed for me! Don''t worry, if I encounter you again in the next match, I''ll continue to kill!"

 Chapter 58: Seven People Remaining

    After the sixth wave of poison gas, only 7 people remained on the map.


    Whether professional players or well-known streamers, they were eliminated in a large number.


    Weishen, Zhou Lili, 17shou, A+, Little Lion, Mo Zi, and Jiang Siming were the remaining players.


    Zhou Lili is the captain of the nb211 team and was previously a member of the 4am team, a man with a feminine name.


    Mo Zi is a genuine female player and also a super expert, currently a member of the snake_tc team owned by the celebrity Chen He.


    In addition to high skills, she also has good looks, though not as good as Tuantuan and the others.


    She is considered the strongest woman in the minds of female PUBG players, leading the female players in the game.


    She proves with her strength that girls can play shooting games well.


    Other players are the captains of top teams, soul-level figures.


    The rest have unfortunately been eliminated.


    To survive until the end, besides strong skills, a certain amount of luck is also needed, but this doesn''t apply to Jiang Siming.


    From the beginning to the end, this guy has been looking for fights, and he has never required luck.


    Dumb Little Sister died after the fourth wave of poison gas, but she was good, not giving kills to others; she died in the gas, leaving peacefully.


    The current safe zone is very small, brushing near the Water City, covering most of the Water City, and some of it is on the bridge next to it.


    In such a small area, seven people are hiding, and no one dares to move recklessly, fearing ambushes from behind.


    The tense final circle freezes the atmosphere at the scene.


    The audience is no longer sending playful chat messages; the dead streamers are silent, staring at the big screen in the central position.


    Looking at the leaderboard on the upper right of the screen, which shows the scores of the seven surviving players.


    7th place: Mo Zi, 4 kills, 330 points.


    6th place: Zhou Lili, 6 kills, 390 points.


    5th place: 17shou, 7 kills, 420 points.


    4th place: a+, 8 kills, 450 points.


    3rd place: Wei Shen, 8 kills, 450 points.


    The commentator spoke with a slightly passionate tone, announcing Zhou Lili''s demise, reducing the number of players on the map by one.


    Jiang Siming didn''t have time to care about these details.


    He threw all the smoke grenades in his hand. When the smoke reached its densest point, Jiang Siming decisively rushed towards the Water City.


    While running through the smoke, he also threw a few grenades towards the potential hiding spots.


    Little Lion, who had initially planned to camp in a certain location, was about to shoot through the smoke. However, a randomly thrown grenade exploded nearby, taking away half of his health.


    Little Lion immediately abandoned his hiding spot, turning and running without hesitation.


    At this point, even if he killed the person running through the poison gas, he would be left with low health. During the poison gas run, if he took one or two shots from others, he would die. This deal was a loss no matter how you looked at it.


    Jiang Siming, in the smoke, had no idea that the randomly thrown grenade had blown away a world champion.


    He smoothly entered the Water City, and his direction was exactly opposite to Little Lion''s.


    "Too bad, otherwise we could immediately witness the showdown between Ming God and the world champion," Xie Yan said somewhat regretfully.


    Xiao Tong smiled and said, "Don''t worry, as long as both of them don''t die, there will definitely be a showdown."


    "This might be a bit difficult. The remaining few players are all tough, and as long as someone is a bit careless or in a disadvantageous position, it''s difficult to survive."


    Although they weren''t too hopeful, the commentators continued to watch with utmost seriousness.


    After Jiang Siming ran into the Water City, he didn''t head towards the center but instead took a detour around the low buildings on the edge of the city.


    Before he could reach the destination, Jiang Siming heard a faint sound of footsteps outside the low buildings.


    Someone was coming!


    Who was it?


    Jiang Siming didn''t know, but he knew this person had to die.


    Mo Zi, who had been trying to avoid gunfire, quietly approached these low buildings.


    Seeing Zhou Lili''s death notification in the upper right corner, she felt a bit happy because it meant she would gain more points in the ranking.


    In addition to the 200 points for winning the chicken dinner, the other top ten players also had fixed points added, decreasing in order.


    Although Mo Zi had fewer kills, she believed that as long as she could survive until the final circle, and squeeze into a couple more rankings, she could surpass Zhou Lili.

    ---Thank you for your support. Please vote with power stones. 100 power stones = 2 additional chapters for that week¡ª


    However, fate did not favor Mo Zi''s wishes. Just as Mo Zi arrived at the low house, she heard footsteps coming from the other end of the house.


    The footsteps were loud, and it seemed like the person approaching had no intention of suppressing their steps.


    Someone was coming, and Mo Zi''s attention reached its limit. She held a fully equipped scar-L automatic rifle in her hands, ready to open fire at any moment.


    Mo Zi thought that even if the other person knew she was there, they shouldn''t charge directly at her.


    However, the next moment, she heard heavy footsteps getting closer and closer.


    Who is this person? So reckless? Not afraid of death?


    A figure appeared from the edge of the stone wall of the house, and Mo Zi saw it, aiming her gun to shoot!


    The other party did not dodge at all and raised their gun to counterattack!


    Mo Zi was not nervous at all but rather pleased.


    Because she fired first, even if it was only 0.5 seconds ahead, it was enough for her to shoot three bullets first!


    Indeed, all three bullets hit the opponent''s body, and the armor on that person''s body instantly became tattered.


    However, at this moment, the opponent''s bullet also came, only one shot!


    Yes, a shot with a silencer attached, a 98k sniper rifle bullet!


    Dull yet pleasant, it instantly took Mo Zi''s life.


    Mo Zi stared in disbelief. At such a close distance, the opponent did not use a rifle but instead used a sniper rifle to shoot her in the head.


    How confident must the opponent be in their sniping skills!


    She had just needed to fire two more bullets to secure victory in this duel!


    But reality was in front of her; she was instantly killed by a sniper rifle shot from the opponent.


    "Who the hell is this? So crazy."


    Mo Zi looked at the kill notification, unwilling and bitter.


    "Player [4am_ming] used a 98k sniper rifle to kill player [snake_tc_mozi]."


    It''s him!


    Mo Zi realized it, then revealed a bitter smile. She never expected to encounter this killer in the end, and her death was not unjust.


    The three commentators were much more excited about this duel than the previous A+ Zhou Lili''s confrontation.


    "Ming God, how dare he play like this! My goodness! Approaching, taking three shots from the opponent, and then sniping back with one shot!"


    Xie Yan almost slammed the table, expressing his incomprehension.


    Xiao Tong also nodded, unsure whether to laugh or cry: "I''m also puzzled. But it happened. If Ming God had aimed slightly off just now, hitting the neck or another part, he would have been dead." r?


    "This is Ming God! His confidence seems to be innate. If he says he can make a headshot with one shot, then he can do it without any surprises!"


    At this point, Qian Yi had completely become a fan of Ming God. If it weren''t for still being in the competition, she might have already gone to find Ming God for something.


    After killing Mo Zi, a bright fragment of light appeared in the box again.


    It turned out to be black!


    Jiang Siming had only obtained one black fragment before, a game modifier, something that could be considered a treasure.


    Unexpectedly, this time, another black fragment appeared. No one knew what it would be.


    Checking while fighting, Jiang Siming saw the message.


    "Picked up [Black Technology Series - Opposite Sex Favorability Display] Fragment *1 (1/1), fragment quantity is full, can be used directly."


    It''s the Black Technology Series again!


    It seems that this black fragment explosion thing is some kind of high-tech gadget.


    What''s the display of opposite-sex favorability? What is this thing?


    [Opposite-Sex Favorability Display]:


    It can detect the favorability of each high-attractiveness opposite sex towards you and grants the [Good First Impression Buff].


    [Good First Impression Buff]:


    From now on, for every opposite-sex encounter, assuming you don''t dislike the person, their favorability towards you will automatically increase by +30 points.


    Note: Favorability above 60 points indicates that the person is infatuated with you and you can receive a random golden fragment reward.


    Favorability above 80 points indicates unwavering devotion and you can receive a random red fragment.


    Favorability above 100 points indicates a life-and-death bond, and you can receive a random purple fragment.


    Oh my! This thing is too powerful!


    Automatically gaining thirty points of favorability for a good first impression, and getting fragments every time it reaches 60 points, with better quality as it goes higher.


    Isn''t this encouraging me to flirt... um... I''m not that kind of person...


    Hehehe.


    Jiang Siming''s inner drama is full, clicking to use, this black technology is directly implanted into the mind.


    Jiang Siming took the opportunity to look at Tuantuan''s position, but it was a bit far and there was no favorability displayed.


    Better finish this match first.

    Jiang Siming took the opportunity to look at Tuantuan''s position, but it was a bit far and there was no favorability displayed.


    Better finish this match first.


    Jiang Siming filled up the status and picked up the intact armor from Mo Zi.


    At this time, the circle shrunk again, reducing the number of people to 3!


    A+ was unfortunately eliminated after being ambushed by 17shou following a gunfight with Zhou Lilili.


    While Jiang Siming killed Mo Zi, Little Lion and Weishen had an epic showdown, with Little Lion ultimately defeating Weishen with a slight advantage.


    The remaining three players now are 17shou, Little Lion, and Jiang Siming.


    Currently, the best position is held by Little Lion, followed by 17shou, and Jiang Siming is still in the worst position.


    Little Lion has already started sealing off the areas he speculated, his chances of winning are the highest, and he is very confident.


    17shou is still in the safe zone, but Jiang Siming is not, he must run to the circle again.


    With no smoke grenades left, if he tries to enter, he will definitely be spotted.


    Jiang Siming glanced at the house where only a shadow of 17shou was visible and boldly rushed towards his position.


    This is a last resort; he has to run towards 17shou, or he will be caught in crossfire between Little Lion and 17shou.


    Although he found a few smoke grenades in Mo Zi''s box, at such a short distance, if he uses them, a skilled player like 17shou can determine his location based on footsteps and execute him within the smoke, while he sees nothing.


    In this situation, Jiang Siming can only rely on his marksmanship.


    As the person rushed up, 17shou naturally didn''t hold back, and both sides engaged in a fierce firefight.


    Bullets traversed, like a scene from a movie with a rain of gunfire.


    But 17shou still lost; most of his shots hit the body, while Jiang Siming''s bullets all landed on the head!


    This is the difference between shooting the head and shooting the body. When you shoot someone''s body, their armor can withstand most of the damage, especially level-3 armor; you can''t kill them with just five or six shots.


    But shooting the head is different; even with level-3 headgear, it can''t withstand three rifle bullets.


    This can only be attributed to the difference in skill; 17shou had to admit Jiang Siming''s superiority.


    Now, it''s down to the final showdown between Little Lion and Jiang Siming for the first place.


    Even if Little Lion manages to take out Jiang Siming, his score won''t surpass Jiang Siming''s.


    With 18 kills, even if Jiang Siming only gets second place, he would still gain 100 points, making it 210 from circles, 540 from kills, totaling 850.


    If Little Lion eliminates Jiang Siming, he would have 11 kills, scoring 640.


    So, the first place in this round is undoubtedly Jiang Siming''s.


    However, the duel between the two is what the audience is most eagerly anticipating.


    Will the world champion win, or will the ordinary player Ming God win? All spectators are holding their breath in anticipation.

    The reason the little lion is so confident that he can win the chicken dinner is because he''s wearing a level-3 helmet.


    He knows Jiang Siming''s quick snipe is invincible, but his sniper rifle is not an AWM, and his is!


    Lucky to pick up the last airdrop, there is a level-3 helmet inside, and an AWM.


    As long as he hits with his AWM, even if it''s just a body shot, it will be a two-shot kill.


    This makes the little lion extremely confident; he thinks that even if he''s not as good, he has one chance to make a mistake, and as long as he casually hits with the AWM, then two shots with the rifle, Jiang Siming will definitely die.


    But when he really faced Jiang Siming, the little lion found that the opponent''s strength was far beyond what he saw on the live stream and in the one-on-one against Xiao Hai.


    Just one encounter, and the little lion''s head got a hole in it.


    But his AWM didn''t even touch Jiang Siming''s body.


    In a one-on-one, Jiang Siming''s strength was already evident when he sniped against Gucun.


    The little lion''s strength is not in the sniper rifle; he is the world''s number one assault player, not a sniper.


    After suffering a loss, the little lion didn''t dare to snipe with Jiang Siming; his AWM became a fire stick.


    Seeing that the little lion didn''t come out, Jiang Siming also knew what the other party was up to. Although his head was hit by a shot, as long as the other party was full health, even if he took another shot now, it would just blow his head apart and not kill him.


    "Since you want to use rifles, I''ll fulfill you, world champion."


    It''s an honor for Jiang Siming to be able to confront the world''s number one assault player with a rifle for a day.


    His proficiency in rifles is the same as his sniper rifle; it''s just that there aren''t many opportunities to show it.


    Bang Bang!


    Jiang Siming fired a few shots from his AK at the window where the little lion was hiding.


    Xiaotong exclaimed, "Is Ming God planning to confront the little lion with a rifle?"


    Xie Yan smiled bitterly, "There''s nothing Ming God wouldn''t dare to do, but if he dares to duel with the world''s number one assault player, I think he''ll taste bitterness."


    Qianyi immediately stood up, "I don''t think so. Ming God''s confidence has never been just talk. I believe that if he dares to engage in a gunfight, he has absolute confidence."


    "Alright, Qianyi, for a woman who''s quickly becoming an Ming God fan, I can''t argue much." Xie Yan smiled wryly."


    Good luck, tonight''s chicken dinner!


    The first match officially ended!


    When Jiang Siming killed the little lion, he obtained another red fragment, "Korean Language Proficiency," but it still required three fragments to combine.


    In this match, he obtained a total of 7 fragments:


    [Crossbow Arrow Mastery], [Monochrome Glazed Ceramic Teapot from the Qing Dynasty], [Villa Fragment], [English Proficiency], [Korean Language Proficiency], [Combat Proficiency], and [Black Technology Series].


    This was an unprecedented drop rate, even in regular matches, making Jiang Siming realize that in highly skilled competitions, the drop rate of fragments was higher.


    He looked forward to the upcoming PCPI Global Championship and wondered how many fragments he would get then; the thought excited him.


    The results for the first match were in:


    1st place: Jiang Siming, with 19 kills and a total score of 980 points; 2nd place: Little Lion, with 10 kills and a total score of *** points;


    The gap between the highest-scoring 2nd place, Little Lion, and Jiang Siming was already more than 370 points. To catch up, they would need Jiang Siming to make mistakes or die in the second or third rounds, and they would also have to achieve more than ten kills each round. The difficulty made it seem unrealistic.


    A ten-minute break was announced. People went to the restroom or chatted.


    "Kid, your skills are really impressive. Let''s not talk about how handsome you are. You must bring me for duo games in the future," said Dasmaster shamelessly, once again requesting Jiang Siming to play with him.


    "Alright, Master Ma, you must take me to play League of Legends in the future."


    "Regarding that, my League of Legends skills are really strong. If you come, I''ll definitely carry you lying down!"


    Before they could chat for long, a charming figure appeared in front of Jiang Siming.


    "Ming God, I''m Qianyi, your fan. Can we... get to know each other?"


    With carefully styled fluffy short hair, airy bangs on her forehead complementing her delicate face, she exuded a playful and cute vibe. She even had a brightly colored ear stud beside her cute ears.


    Her exquisite features, especially her mouth shape, left a deep impression on Jiang Siming. It was the most beautiful mouth shape he had ever seen, somewhat resembling the celebrity Wang Ou.


    Shallow red lips, slightly upturned at the corners, with a hint of blush, added considerable charm to her face.


    She had a slim figure, leaning towards thin, but her pair of long, slender white legs couldn''t help but catch people''s attention. Dressed in luxurious brands, she had the aura of an affluent girl, clearly not an ordinary person.


    Her natural beauty made her unforgettable at first glance.

 Chapter 61: Miss Qianyi’s Favorability Level

    ---Thank you for your support. Please vote with power stones. 100 power stones = 2 additional chapters for that week¡ª


    Commentary on Qianyi, a goddess for many male players in PUBG.


    It is said that her family assets amount to hundreds of billions, and she doesn''t worry about food and drink at all. She does commentary just because she enjoys playing PUBG, that''s all.


    The number of people pursuing her is countless, but Qianyi publicly states that the first requirement for a guy she might like is to be good at playing PUBG.


    Many netizens jokingly say that if you can master PUBG to the highest level, there''s a good chance you could date such a beautiful and wealthy girl, and you''d have a worry-free life, playing games every day.


    However, many skilled streamers and professional players have had such thoughts before, but Qianyi stated a second requirement: she has to find the person interesting.


    In summary, being skilled at PUBG and having good chemistry.


    However, no one has met the second requirement so far...


    Qianyi herself didn''t know what happened; standing in front of Jiang Siming, her palms were sweaty.


    Beside them, Dasmaster smirked at Jiang Siming, expressing a typical man''s understanding.


    Jiang Siming ignored him, just smiled, stood up, and shook her small hand.


    "Hello, I didn''t expect to have such a beautiful fan. I thought all my fans were old men."


    Qianyi blushed, appearing cute and shy.


    "No way, Ming God, you have a lot of female fans, especially today when you showed your face. I believe that more than half of the female players in PUBG will become your loyal fans."


    "Then I''ll borrow your auspicious words. But I think having a high-quality female fan like you is enough." Jiang Siming mischievously started to flirt.


    Qianyi was at a loss for a moment, feeling like little deer jumping in her heart.


    She had heard similar sweet words from many suitors, even a hundred times more advanced than this.


    But the effect was completely different when said by different people.


    At this moment, a string of information suddenly appeared in Jiang Siming''s mind: "+35! Current favorability: 65 points (base 30 + 35)."


    "Reward: [Audemars Piguet Tradition Series Men''s Watch] Gold Shard *1 (1/1), Shard quantity is full, can be used directly."


    What the heck! The favorability broke 60 so easily?


    Jiang Siming never thought that a beautiful stranger''s favorability for him could exceed 60 so quickly.


    He remembered that this black technology could automatically increase the favorability of each opposite-sex with high appearance by +30.


    The same sentiments echoed among the live audience as well. The camera had been focused on Jiang Siming the entire time, capturing everything he did with Qianyi.


    "Wow! This is too much! Don''t touch my goddess, Qianyi!"


    "Damn, they''re standing so close. Ming God, you big pig''s trotter."


    "My wife has another formidable rival. I''m really worried for him."


    "Ming God is mine, and I stand with Ming Tuan! Ming Tuan up, up!"


    "I said to my goddess: be my girlfriend. Goddess replied to me: dream on! I immediately went to sleep, but in my dream, the goddess said to me: stop dreaming!"


    Having fulfilled all her wishes, Qianyi didn''t disturb Jiang Siming''s rest too much. After saying a couple of words of encouragement, she left contentedly.


    Jiang Siming then took the initiative to walk towards Dumb Little Sister and the others.


    He wasn''t trying to flirt with three girls at once; rather, he wanted to test the favorability of the opposite sex.


    Since the favorability of this unfamiliar beauty is so high, wouldn''t Dumb Little Sister and Little Tuantuan have even higher favorability? Doesn''t that mean I can get more fragments?


    As Jiang Siming approached the two girls, information popped up in his head.


    Little Tuantuan: Favorability 75


    Dumb Little Sister: Favorability 70


    Both had exceptionally high favorability. This level of favorability would allow Jiang Siming to do anything mischievous with them. However, strangely, no fragments were obtained.


    Looking at the information on this black technology again, Jiang Siming suddenly realized that it said: "From now on, with every unfamiliar woman encountered." It did not include those encountered before.


    This made Jiang Siming slightly disappointed, thinking he could pick up two more fragments for free.


    It seems he''ll have to work harder to charm women in the future.


    After chatting briefly with Little Tuantuan and Dumb Little Sister, the break time was approaching.


    Jiang Siming had to return to his seat.


    With one or two minutes left, Jiang Siming quickly checked the price of the recently acquired Jaeger-LeCoultre watch. It was unexpectedly worth over a million!


    This made Jiang Siming even more determined to work harder in pursuing women.


    I, Jiang Siming, am definitely not lascivious!

 Chapter 62: Landing Seven Kills!

    ---Thank you for your support. Please vote with power stones. 100 power stones = 2 additional chapters for that week¡ª


    The Strongest Anchor Competition, the second round, begins.


    The second round takes place on a desert map.


    As the plane takes off, the flight path goes right through the central part of Pecado City.


    Because in the previous round, everyone saw the benefits of multiple kills, Jiang Siming''s impressive 19 kills are prominently leading.


    Top-tier players like A+ and Little Lion know that if they don''t actively get multiple kills, they will never catch up with Jiang Siming''s score.


    So in this round, many top players start changing their strategy. Instead of stable development, they actively jump into Pecado City to hunt for kills!


    When the plane passes over Pecado City, more than a dozen parachutes descend.


    Jiang Siming, seeing this, joins in the action.


    Although his score is already high, he could play it safe and steadily develop in the subsequent rounds, likely securing the highest score in the end.


    But Jiang Siming has different plans. With such high fragment drop rates, he won''t miss the chance to collect more fragments, even if he doesn''t get the title of the strongest anchor. Any extra fragments are worth it.


    "This round in Pecado is going to be exciting. Sixteen parachutes jumped down, and it will be very thrilling!" says Xie Yan with enthusiasm.


    Commentators naturally prefer more intense matches, as it keeps their commentary passionate and helps boost the atmosphere.


    On the contrary, if everyone continues to play safe, the commentators won''t have much to say.


    Xiao Tong chuckles, "I guess they were stimulated by Ming God''s score in the last round. If they continue to play it safe, it''s hard for them to surpass Ming God''s score."


    "Who says they aren''t? Huh! Ming God is also in Pecado! Wow, this round is really worth watching. The director, focus on Pecado, and don''t move the camera." Xie Yan adds with excitement.


    Billionaire Qian Yi has been idling, playing with his phone while leaning down.


    Looking at his newly changed phone wallpaper, Qian Yi seems a bit lost in thought.


    Until Xiao Tong elbows him, he reacts, quickly puts away his phone, and playfully sticks out his tongue at Xiao Tong.


    The situation in Pecado not only excites the commentators, but the audience is also ecstatic.


    Watching more than a dozen parachutes over Pecado City, it foretells an unavoidable large-scale battle!


    Seven parachutes landed in the boxing arena, while others scattered across different parts of Pecado City.


    Jiang Siming is in the boxing arena, but since he jumped a bit later after watching others, he lands a bit late.


    The heavy damage from the shotgun barrels, and both shots hitting the head, despite some distance between them, causes Thomas to fall in regret.


    After taking down Thomas, Jiang Siming doesn''t even change his bullets. He hears footsteps near the staircase.


    He directly charges towards the staircase and leaps!


    In mid-air, Jiang Siming switches to another S686, aiming at the head exposed at the staircase, and fires two shots!


    After landing, the person fell down just right.


    This time, he killed A+!


    The second floor is cleared again, reloading the guns. He still only holds two double-barreled shotguns.


    Just as one gun is fully loaded, a 4AM team member, who came after hearing the news, always eager to steal kills, unexpectedly falls into Jiang Siming''s trap.


    Another kill!


    Jiang Siming is now in a killing spree. Although he doesn''t know these are his teammates from the same team, in solo mode, who cares.


    Audiences initially thought there would be a break now, but unexpectedly, two sets of footsteps are heard from outside!


    These are two players coming from the buildings outside the boxing arena, finishing looting and ready to sweep the battlefield.


    One from the left and one from the right, they surround Jiang Siming.


    From a bird''s-eye view, these two people are Lan Zhanfei and 17shou!


    Jiang Siming is stuck at the entrance of the lounge on the ground floor, remaining calm and composed. The broadcast camera focuses on Jiang Siming''s expression, showing no signs of nervousness but rather a chilling calmness.


    In his headphones, Lan Zhanfei on the left couldn''t endure the loneliness and opens the door to come in.


    However, he is immediately met with the muzzle of a pitch-black gun, and bullets spray out, turning his head into a smashed watermelon.


    17shou on the right rushes in promptly. He knows Jiang Siming must be reloading!


    Indeed, Jiang Siming is reloading. They came while he hadn''t finished loading bullets for his other S686.


    Seeing 17shou charging towards him, audiences start fearing for Jiang Siming, thinking he''s in for certain death.


    Already at the corner, 17shou has his AK ready, and as soon as he sees Jiang Siming, he opens fire.


    But in the next moment, he freezes!

 Chapter 63: Law Enforcement through Fishing?

    ---Thank you for your support. Please vote with power stones. 100 power stones = 2 additional chapters for that week¡ª


    Jiang Siming suddenly crouched down! Then, in the moment of crouching, he squatted up again, and then circled around his right side.


    17shou completely didn''t understand how Jiang Siming could perform this action.


    It''s important to know that in PUBG, getting up after crouching is slow, taking almost a second.


    However, Jiang Siming just crouched and got up, with an interval of less than half a second.


    Then he circled around from his right side, where 17shou''s gun muzzle was blind, and it was precisely because of this that Jiang Siming narrowly escaped this round of bullets.


    After dodging, Jiang Siming''s bullets were already fully reloaded, and two close-range shots, originally spreading in a circular pattern, all hit the same point.


    Even if 17shou had armor, it was difficult to escape death.


    7 kills!


    All the viewers were stunned.


    This isn''t a casual match; this is almost on par with a professional-level competition!


    The 7 people he just killed were all top-notch experts.


    Old K, Lan Zhanfei, Thomas, A+, Yongyuan, 17shou, and even the captain of the QG team.


    "66666+10086!"


    "The man standing on the bodies of top-notch experts, Ming God!"


    "I used to doubt why you call him Ming God, now I realize how foolish I was."


    "Is Yongyuan an idiot? Charging towards his own teammate!"


    "This is solo mode. If Forever knew it was Ming God, not fighting would be cheating. Must support!"


    "A single round of seven kills, A+, 17shou are all dead. Oh my god, amazing!"


    "It seems that Ming God is going to dominate these professional players and top anchors today."


    The Douyu live streaming platform was on the verge of being overwhelmed by netizens. People from various platforms were all attracted by Jiang Siming''s operation.


    "Immediately let those small streamers end their broadcasts! Free up the server for the live stream room! Must ensure smoothness!"


    Sun Youcai immediately ordered, although it was unfair to the small streamers, but who cares about fairness when it comes to the platform''s interests.


    Less than three minutes after landing, he scored 210 points.


    Other players hadn''t even completed collecting helmets and armor; some hadn''t even picked up a gun.


    All you could see in the upper right corner was Jiang Siming''s overwhelming kill notifications, almost making people think they were seeing things.


    Xie Yan and the others started to review Jiang Siming''s moves when he killed 17shou, especially the prone-to-stand technique.


    This technique was obviously unknown even to the commentators.


    "This may involve our blind spot of knowledge. I hope after the game, we can interview Ming God and hear what he says. I think this technique could be very useful in some small-scale one-on-one situations," Xie Yan discussed.


    Xiao Tong nodded in agreement, "As everyone knows, Ming God''s body movements are just as impressive as his marksmanship. I dare bet that ninety percent of professional players may not be aware of this body movement displayed just now."


    "Absolutely," Qi Yi added.


    On the screen, Jiang Siming came out of the boxing ring. The alarm had not been lifted completely; there were still quite a few players in the city.


    However, due to Jiang Siming''s massacre in the boxing ring, the remaining players in Picado City became cautious, each finding a hiding spot and waiting for the others to come to them.


    The players, who were eager for kills just a moment ago, now couldn''t summon the courage.


    Jokingly, since A+ and others were dead, they would only serve as background walls for Jiang Siming. He would step on their bodies to rise to the top, and they certainly didn''t want that!


    Survive! They must survive!


    Not seeing anyone and not hearing any gunshots, Jiang Siming, who had slaughtered everyone in the boxing ring, remained vigilant.


    He walked to the red hotel under the boxing ring. This hotel didn''t look like a reputable place, with discarded condoms and small cards lying on the floor.


    Jiang Siming entered the hotel, stepping on the cheap carpet with his leather shoes. In one of the rooms, there was an M16 without ammunition, indicating that someone had already searched this place. However, it was unclear if anyone was still present.


    Just as Jiang Siming was about to leave, he heard the sound of a soda can from upstairs!


    Originally, Jiang Siming couldn''t hear this sound, but thanks to his expensive advanced peripherals, he caught this faint noise.


    Well, there''s an old fox upstairs.


    To go or not?


    After a brief hesitation, Jiang Siming decisively picked up his double-barrel shotgun and headed upstairs.


    "Wow, Ming God is too bold. He heard a sound from upstairs and went straight up to search. It''s like he doesn''t believe there are any survivors in Picado."


    "Exactly, I''ve figured it out. In Ming God''s eyes, he''s never worried about being counter-killed. He only sees enemy heads!"


    While Xie Yan and Xiao Tong were discussing, Jiang Siming had already reached the second floor.


    After searching without finding any enemies, he proceeded to the third floor, still empty. Finally, on the fourth floor, Jiang Siming noticed something unusual. The door to a room on the right was closed.


    Upon opening it, he found a first aid kit still on the floor.


    Jiang Siming smiled; he had hooked a fish.


    If a rookie were to come in, they might think that no one had searched this room yet.

    "Currently fishing is Zhenni from Douyin Live. I wonder if her strategy can deceive Ming God? Ming God seems clueless; he picks up the first aid kit, and there''s Zhenni! She fires the gun! Oh my God... As expected, she got killed..."


    Xie Yan''s lively commentary made the audience burst into laughter. He knew long ago that Jiang Siming had noticed, but he insisted on staging a little drama.


    Jiang Siming picked up the first aid kit, and as Zhenni stood up from the room''s balcony to ambush, she faced two ruthless shots from Jiang Siming before even firing a bullet.


    "Hahaha, trying to enforce the law through fishing?"


    "Are Douyin''s streamers all this funny?"


    "I laughed so hard, trying to kill Ming God with such methods? Where''s her brain?"


    "Thanks to the Douyin streamer for another 30 points to Ming God!"


    "Foolish streamer, handing out points online."


    Surprisingly, Jiang Siming encountered three such fishing attempts in Picado in a row. He couldn''t understand their thinking¡ªevery time, they piled up a bunch of good stuff in the room, hiding in a corner, waiting for an ambush. Easily countered by Jiang Siming, those attempting to fish him were the easiest kills; they didn''t even get a chance to shoot.


    With 10 kills already, Jiang Siming was thinking about leaving Picado. He had explored almost the entire city, and it seemed like there were no more opponents.


    Bang, bang!


    Just as he sat in the ''Land Rover'' parked on the roadside, a few bullets shot from the rooftop of a blue building, with one hitting Jiang Siming''s forehead. Fortunately, it was just an M16. Jiang Siming instantly switched seats, got off the car, and took cover on the side that the opponent couldn''t shoot at.


    "Too much! Every time they try to ambush Ming God!" Even Qianyi started to feel sorry for Jiang Siming. They often encountered such ambush dogs.


    "I guess they''re scared of Ming God, afraid to engage him in a fair gunfight, so they can only resort to this method," Xiaotong comforted.


    But Qianyi snorted, "Then, be prepared to face Ming God''s anger next."


    Indeed, Jiang Siming was annoyed by such sneak attacks. With half of his health gone, he didn''t even plan to use a med kit. He ran straight into the blue building and headed upstairs.


    "Ming God is indeed angry. He doesn''t even bother to heal and wants to fight you directly! Let''s see who this person is. It''s another streamer from the same platform, Chen Sigou, who was killed by Ming God on the island bridge in the first game. It seems like there''s unfinished business," Xie Yan commented.


    Three seconds later, Jiang Siming performed an incredible move. He turned his head towards the sky, completely moved away from the window sill, and plummeted downward!


    During the fall, Jiang Siming tossed the grenade upward. After a three-second fuse, the grenade flew to the rooftop and exploded immediately!


    Jiang Siming landed on the ground, losing only one health bar and surviving. On the other hand, Chen Sigou, trapped in the corner on the rooftop, was killed by this unexpected heavenly grenade!


    "Player [4am_ming] uses a grenade to kill player [douyutv_chensigou]."


    The kill alert brought the audience back from their stunned state.


    Xiaotong exaggeratedly applauded, "I can only say, Ming God''s show gave me goosebumps!"


    "Yes, this move of blocking the window, then throwing the grenade while backflipping off the building, accurately timing and measuring the distance, it''s extremely precise!" Qianyi commented on this impressive move.


    Xie Yan chimed in, "To explain why Ming God chose to jump off the building and throw the grenade in the air ¨C if he threw the grenade while on the window sill, it might explode too high and not kill Chen Sigou. If thrown too low, it might kill Chen Sigou but also injure himself.


    So, he chose to jump off the building, tossing the grenade in mid-air during the fall, avoiding self-harm and accurately placing the grenade on the rooftop!"


    Many viewers, after hearing the detailed explanation, suddenly realized the intricacies of the move!


    They only felt that this move was extremely cool, without thinking too much about it. They even thought Ming God was intentionally showing off, not realizing that he had already calculated every detail.


    "So, you can attack the rooftop of Blue Base like this. I''ve learned something new!"


    "I often get killed by camping enemies when rushing to Blue Base. I won''t be afraid anymore!"


    "Can someone tell me what kind of mind can come up with such an operation?"


    "So cool!! Feels like watching a scene from a Hong Kong gangster movie!"


    "Actually, this footage of Ming God could be used as a promotional video for PUBG. This kind of god-like operation is both cool and awesome!"


    "Ahhhh! I can''t take it anymore, Ming God, I''m also becoming your brainless fan!"

 Chapter 65: The Strongest Streamer! Ming!

    The viewers who enjoy watching game livestreams are similar to those who love watching basketball matches.


    If you excel at basketball, you''ll have a legion of fans, and the same goes for gaming. Just like the top player in League of Legends, Li Ge, even though he''s Korean, many Chinese players are still his fans because he conquers you with his skills.


    Similarly, Jiang Siming is currently conquering a wave of PUBG players with his extraordinary operations. What Jiang Siming can achieve, other skilled streamers cannot.


    Just like the legendary Lee Sang-hyeok, who could perform operations you wouldn''t even dare to think of. After doing many of these operations, players eventually regarded him as a god, even though his technical skills have declined over time.


    Xie Yan has a premonition that Jiang Siming is walking a path similar to the gaming god Lee Sang-hyeok. Xie Yan has commented on numerous matches and witnessed many top players, but none of them can match Jiang Siming''s technical prowess. His skills have far surpassed professional players.


    "I can''t say what the situation is now, but I can be sure of one thing: in the near future, when people mention PUBG, they will definitely think of the ID Ming first." Xie Yan''s mind is filled with this thought, and he can''t calm down for a long time.


    Picado has already become a ghost town after Jiang Siming slaughtered everyone, and no one dares to provoke him.


    Jiang Siming still doesn''t go for the care packages. After jumping down and restoring full health, he drives away. He continues to roam around in search of enemies, shooting anyone he sees. The rate at which he accumulates kills is even faster than the previous match.


    Although the desert map is large, it''s easy to find people. Moreover, with top players like A+ dying early in the game, Jiang Siming has no reservations about killing.


    In the final circle, the strongest Little Lion accidentally got ambushed by two players and had his chicken dinner stolen. Jiang Siming easily secures his second win, with a total of 25 kills!


    Currently, Jiang Siming has accumulated 2100 points in the two matches. This practically confirms his title as the strongest streamer.


    Even if Jiang Siming scores zero in the last match, the second-place Little Lion would need to kill 40 people and win the chicken dinner to surpass Jiang Siming.


    40 kills for the chicken dinner... Little Lion feels like it''s a joke.


    In the third match at Sanhok, Jiang Siming continued to live up to expectations with 15 kills and a chicken dinner!


    "Let''s give the warmest applause to congratulate Ming God on winning the title of the strongest streamer in this competition for three consecutive victories! This is a record, and I believe it''s a record that no one can surpass for many years to come!" The commentators were all excited.


    Damn, watching Jiang Siming''s personal performance in three matches, it''s hard not to be excited.


    "Congratulations, Ming God."


    "Congratulations, you truly deserve the title of the strongest streamer."


    Oh, and Qian Yi was also present at the dining table.


    For those he willingly invited, Jiang Siming was not stingy at all. Good wine and dishes added up to over three hundred thousand yuan for a few tables.


    After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes, it was already late.


    Everyone bid farewell to Jiang Siming, leaving the restaurant.


    "Ming God, these two girls are in your care. See you later, hehe."


    After Qian Yi finished speaking, she turned to leave. However, she seemed to think of something, turned back, and kissed Jiang Siming on the lips.


    "This is my first kiss~" She said, blushing, and then ran away.


    Jiang Siming, with one hand supporting Dumb Little Sister and the other supporting Tuantuan, was completely caught off guard by Qian Yi''s ''sudden attack''.


    With the fragrance of the other party still lingering at the corner of his mouth, Jiang Siming could only watch as Qian Yi drove away, in a Maserati, a limited edition at that.


    "If you want to kiss, could you at least do it a bit longer? What''s the point of a dragonfly touching the water?" Jiang Siming sarcastically commented.


    "How are you two? I told you not to drink so much, but you wouldn''t listen."


    While saying this, Jiang Siming''s hands were not idling, and he was enjoying the soft and fragrant touch of the two girls.


    "Little Brother Ming... I didn''t drink much..." Tuantuan, who was leaning drunkenly on Jiang Siming''s chest, said and hugged him even tighter.


    "I also didn''t drink much, Brother Ming, can you take us home~" Dumb Little Sister, the younger sister, wasn''t in a much better state, holding onto Jiang Siming''s arm.


    "I can''t feel at ease letting you two go home by yourselves. Where are the car keys?"


    Jiang Siming was afraid that it would be troublesome for the two girls to come back later to get the car, so he decided to be their driver. He would come back for the car later when he returned home.


    "In the pocket~" Dumb Little Sister blushed, her eyes gazing at Jiang Siming in a daze.


    Jiang Siming took the keys from her pants pocket.


    This girl put the keys in her back pocket, and when Jiang Siming took them out, his hand accidentally slipped over, and the elasticity was really good!

    Although there are two people hanging on him, for Jiang Siming, it is very relaxed, one in each hand, placed in the car.


    Dumb Little Sister''s car is a red Porsche Cayenne, the top version, costing over a million.


    Of course, for Dumb Little Sister, the top player in the Douyu platform''s PlayerUnknown''s Battlegrounds, this is normal. Her signed contract is also A-level, with an annual salary of five million.


    In addition to fan gifts and tips, occasionally accepting two small game advertisements, owning a Cayenne is still very easy for her.


    The two women leaned against each other, speaking drunkenly. Jiang Siming couldn''t hear very clearly, but could get a general idea.


    "Tuantuan... your chest feels really good, uh, squeezing it... feels so comfortable..."


    "Dumb Dumb... your buttocks are really elastic, take off and let me knead them well, your jeans are really in the way..."


    Jiang Siming rolled his eyes at what he heard, pretending he didn''t, started the car, and left the hotel.


    Following Dumb Little Sister''s given address, Jiang Siming arrived at a high-end residential area, got out of the car, and helped the two women up.


    Dumb Little Sister rented a house together with her best friend in this high-end residential area.


    The house was very nice, at least several times better than Jiang Siming''s, with all the furniture and appliances.


    Jiang Siming considered whether he should also move to a better place.


    "Hey, Dumb Dumb, where is your best friend? I didn''t see her around." Jiang Siming walked around and didn''t find anyone.


    "She went back to her hometown today..." Dumb Little Sister said, standing up from the sofa, staggering, "Brother Ming, I''ll go... pour water for you..."


    Just as she finished speaking, Dumb Little Sister collapsed and fell to the ground. Jiang Siming quickly caught her.


    "Can you save me some trouble? I can pour water for myself if I want to drink."


    "No! This is... my home, how can I let you do it..."


    While speaking, Dumb Little Sister suddenly tiptoed and kissed Jiang Siming on the mouth.


    "Smooch, smooch... Brother Ming, your lips are really tasty..." After saying that, she kissed him again.


    Jiang Siming was once again forced into a kiss by another woman, and this time she even sucked on his lips. Who could resist this?


    Without hesitation, Jiang Siming hugged her slender waist tightly and took the initiative to attack.


    Dumb Little Sister''s small mouth was tender and moist. Although she was drunk, it was only mixed with a faint scent of alcohol, not unpleasant at all. Instead, it made Jiang Siming unable to stop.


    The next day, when Dumb Little Sister and Tuantuan woke up and looked at each other, they both saw the disheveled appearance and clothing, clearly showing signs of being blessed.


    Thinking about what happened last night, both girls blushed.


    "Where''s Little Brother Ming...?" Tuantuan asked.


    "He left last night," Dumb Little Sister replied in a soft voice.


    Even if he passed, he soon forgot it all. Now, speaking English was as fluent as speaking Chinese, with an authentic London accent.


    With the newly acquired piano and combat skills, Jiang Siming was eager to try them out.


    Unfortunately, there was no piano at home, and no one to spar with. Should he spar with Xinyi...


    "Teacher, it''s time to eat!"


    Wang Xinyi''s voice came from outside.


    Jiang Siming opened the door, holding an exquisite box.


    "This is for you, Xinyi."


    "What is it?" Wang Xinyi curiously took it, opened it, and exclaimed, "This is an Omega watch! It''s beautiful!"


    "I''ll put it on for you." Jiang Siming said, putting the ladies'' watch on Wang Xinyi''s wrist.


    Since it came out of the fragments, it was better to give it to his own woman than to sell it.


    The delicate watch looked perfect on Wang Xinyi''s slender arm, like a sword finding its scabbard, especially fitting.


    "Thank you, Teacher!" Wang Xinyi was delighted to receive a gift from her beloved.


    "By the way, Xinyi, I want to move to a new place. This suite is too small, and it''s inconvenient for my live stream." Jiang Siming said while eating.


    "Move? What about the rent here?"


    Wang Xinyi didn''t mind where to live, as long as Jiang Siming was there.


    "Of course, it won''t be cheap for that vampire. If she doesn''t refund the money, I''ll sublet it."


    Although Jiang Siming''s net worth was now in the tens of millions, he didn''t want to give his landlord a bargain. If he found a slightly better landlord, Jiang Siming wouldn''t bother about the rent for these few months.


    "After dinner, I''ll take you to see the house I chose. Let''s make some time to go to the mall and buy some big items, like setting up a music room for you."


    "Really! Then I want a drum set!"


    "No problem."


    Jiang Siming readily agreed.


    To quickly see the new home, Wang Xinyi ate much faster than usual.


    In the afternoon, Jiang Siming drove with Wang Xinyi to the villa in Lujiazui within the Second Ring Road.


    It was the first time Jiang Siming had seen it, and after seeing it, the rented suite seemed worse than a humble dwelling.


    The villa wasn''t particularly large in terms of area, but it was over 500 square meters.


    There were two courtyards, front and back. The backyard was a garden and a parking lot.

 Chapter 67: Changing Home

    ---Thank you for your support. Please vote with power stones. 100 power stones = 2 additional chapters for that week¡ª


    The villa resembled European architecture, somewhat like a castle.


    It had a total of three floors.


    The first two floors comprised living rooms and bedrooms, while the top floor featured a lounge, entertainment room, a small swimming pool, and a gym.


    The entire villa was decorated in a low-key luxurious style, with purple and blue as the main color scheme, elegant and exquisite yet grand.


    The first-floor living room showcased numerous masterpieces of calligraphy and painting. Although it was unclear if they were authentic, they exuded an impressive style.


    There were a total of five bedrooms on the first floor, all guest rooms for hosting visitors.


    The second floor was entirely designed for the owner, featuring a romantically furnished master bedroom with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. These windows only allowed an exterior view, making it impossible to see inside from outside.


    During the day, opening the curtains allowed for bathing in sunlight from every angle.


    The luxurious king-size bed, top-tier international brand bedding, and other amenities made the bedroom a place where one wouldn''t want to leave.


    The master bedroom was luxurious, and the other rooms were also beautifully arranged, including a spacious study.


    Perfect for Jiang Siming''s live broadcasts, the study could easily accommodate a piano and other musical instruments.


    After exploring for several rounds, they had no desire to make any improvements to the villa. It was already perfect as it was!


    Spending another day, Jiang Siming moved all his belongings from the original rented place and received a refund of the rent from landlady Luo Jie.


    Initially, the plump woman was reluctant to refund, but Jiang Siming casually mentioned, "If you don''t refund the rent, I''ll wait until my lease is up, and you can send a decoration team over to renovate."


    This scared the landlady Luo Jie, and she promptly refunded the rent.


    Upon moving to the new home, Jiang Siming''s study not only served for live streaming but also housed a nearly million-dollar Steinway piano and a guitar worth over ten thousand. There were even some other musical instruments. In short, the study could accommodate anything Jiang Siming wanted to do.


    Taking a break for two days, although he had informed his fans in advance about the move and the break, many viewers still eagerly waited in the live stream room every day, urging him to come back.


    Jiang Siming didn''t mind at all; he knew it was genuine love from his fans. People wouldn''t eagerly await your live stream every day if they didn''t truly like you.


    Jiang Siming''s live stream screen flashed, officially starting the broadcast.


    "Finally, I''m live! You''ve waited until the flowers withered!"


    "Streaming for a few days, and already taking a break, Ming God, are you learning from the streaming king Erke?"


    "These two days without your stream, I can''t bear to watch other PUBG streamers for even a moment."


    "I just realized that without Ming God''s live stream, I can''t adapt anymore."


    "Husband, you finally started the stream! Trotting Horse, Trotting Horse~"


    "The strongest streamer, please accept my two days'' worth of kneecaps!"


    "Cheers! Ming God, your new home looks so high-end, and you even have a piano. Don''t tell me you can play the piano too?"


    Sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a straight nose, thin lips, and deep, starry eyes.


    A slight smirk at the corner of his mouth made women''s hearts flutter like deer and men feel as if they were enjoying a refreshing breeze.


    Seeing Jiang Siming''s appearance, many people automatically recalled a poetic phrase.


    "A stranger as precious as jade, a gentleman unparalleled in the world!"


    "Damn, showing off to a man like me."


    "Closer looks make him even more handsome. My God, does this mean we men can''t live anymore?"


    "Ming God, why don''t you enter the entertainment industry? It feels like you entering the entertainment circle would overshadow people like Lu Han and Wu Yifan."


    "How should I put it... Are you into guys?"


    "Husband, handsome handsome handsome! Love you to death!"


    "Licking the screen for my man, swish~"


    After Jiang Siming revealed his face, his live stream room became the place with the most female fans on various platforms. Nobody knew why they came, but they just stayed in his live stream room.


    Jiang Siming didn''t specifically use any beauty filters for the camera; he simply revealed his face in a straightforward and genuine manner.


    After tuning the guitar, he sang a song, "Alone in Paris," as a way to apologize to everyone for the two-day hiatus.


    "Alright, the song is done. Next is the time for technical streaming. Let''s continue soaring in the ocean of PUBG."


    "Don''t stop, sing another one."


    "I want to hear it again."


    "Haven''t sung ''Trotting Horse'' yet, Ming God~"


    Although there were still many viewers asking for more songs, Jiang Siming didn''t fulfill their wishes.


    When he logged into the game, to his surprise, the game interface showed "Chinese Server Maintenance."


    Checking the game notice, it was indeed the Asian server undergoing maintenance, while the other servers were operating normally.


    After Teng Xun acquired Bluehole''s equity, PUBG, like League of Legends, had servers divided among different countries.


    There were the Chinese, American, European, Korean servers, and more. These servers'' updates and maintenance were often separate. Jiang Siming happened to catch the maintenance of the Asian server, so he couldn''t play temporarily.


    "Hahaha, this is fate. Even the heavens want to hear you sing. How about singing another song?"


    "The Asian server maintenance lasts until 7 PM. Ming God, why not sing for a bit longer?"


    "If you want to play other games, like League of Legends, I can guide you! I''m Diamond 3!"


    "I played on the American server today, and the environment there is terrible. Many ** American streamers specifically target foreigners."


    "Or we can chat for a while. I love listening to Ming God''s voice the most."

 Chapter 68: Journey on the Korean Server

    ---Thank you for your support. Please vote with power stones. 100 power stones = 2 additional chapters for that week¡ª


    Certainly, the Asian server can''t be played today. Jiang Siming originally wanted to play something else, but considering the unavailability of the Asian server, he decided to try other servers.


    He hasn''t played on other servers before and doesn''t know how the fragment drop rates are on those servers.


    Just do it.


    "Well, let''s play on the Korean server. Since the Asian server''s rank is already first, let''s aim for a high rank on the Korean server too. I want to challenge Korean experts, after all, this game was developed by South Korea. I''m curious to see the skills of local players."


    He activated the Korean server accelerator and successfully logged in. Although there was a bit of delay, it wasn''t a big deal.


    Originally, Jiang Siming intended to play solo, but on a whim, he wanted to test his proficiency in Korean.


    "How about this, let''s go for a random squad and see if we can match with some Korean girls," Jiang Siming raised his eyebrows, wearing a mischievous expression.


    "Match with Korean strangers? Can you speak Korean?"


    "Trust me, they won''t speak Chinese, Ming God."


    "Even if you match with a Korean girl, you won''t be able to communicate."


    "That''s right, better go for a solo squad."


    Seeing these comments, Jiang Siming flashed a mysterious smile without explaining and directly selected the four-person squad mode to start the game.


    After a while, Jiang Siming''s game character entered the player lobby. Looking at the bottom left corner, he indeed got matched with three random players.


    Checking their IDs, it seemed like none of them used Chinese pinyin.


    At this moment, in a luxurious mansion in a wealthy area of Busan, South Korea, three extremely beautiful women sat in front of three computers, chatting and laughing.


    "Yun-ah, you''re busy every day. Finally, you have some free time. Let''s play a game and relax."


    "Yes, you''re always acting, practicing dancing and singing. You''re almost like a robot. You''re so grown up, and you haven''t even dated."


    "Unnie (older sister) Eun-hye, Ji-hyo, thank you for helping me unwind. I''ll take good care of myself."


    "Alright, let''s get into the game. After playing, I''ll make you Beijing-style fried sauce noodles. I learned it from a chef when I was filming in Huaxia a few years ago."


    "Wow! Unnie Eun-hye, you''re making me hungry with your words. I''ve tasted food in Huaxia, and everything there is delicious. My favorites are Peking duck, Lanzhou noodles, Sichuan hot pot, and..."


    "Okay, okay, stop talking. If you keep talking, we won''t be in the mood to play."


    "Hey, Unnie Eun-hye, we matched with a random player."


    "Yes, 4amming... What kind of ID is this? It looks like Chinese."


    "Could it be someone from Huaxia?"


    "I don''t know, ask."


    "Why does your voice sound so nice? Did you use a voice changer?"


    "What else delicious does Huaxia have? I want to try it next time I go to Huaxia!"


    "You speak Korean so well, are you working in Korea?"


    They didn''t ask any sensitive questions, and Jiang Siming answered each one, serving as a translator for his viewers.


    At this point, the waiting time was over, and the four of them boarded the plane.


    "Let''s jump here!"


    "No, no, there are too many people here, let''s go over there, a bit further."


    "Can we make it there? I''ve gained some weight recently, can the parachute handle it?"


    The three women were chattering away, and in the end, the slightly older one seemed to have the most say in the decision, selecting a very remote location.


    "Friends, shall we go there?" the woman also asked Jiang Siming, showing respect.


    "Sure, wherever you choose is fine." Jiang Siming had no objections. After all, it was a squad game; it wouldn''t make sense to play alone in a squad.


    The number of viewers in the live stream continued to rise, almost reaching the peak of the last broadcast, driven by the long-suppressed popularity effect of the "Strongest Streamer" competition and the massive promotion by Douyu.


    Combined with the shouts from various live stream rooms, stating that Ming God was playing games with three Korean girls, many curious viewers followed.


    [Dumb Little Sister] Emperor rewards Ming''s live stream with 10 Super Rockets!


    [Dumb Little Sister] Emperor: Brother Ming, you don''t take me and Tuantuan to play, but you take Korean girls. We might get jealous!


    [Tuantuan] Emperor rewards Ming''s live stream with 10 Super Rockets!


    [Tuantuan] Emperor: Brother Ming, don''t listen to what Dumb Dumb nonsense, I''m playing at Dumb Dumb''s house. Going back in a few days, take care of yourself and good luck with the live stream. Miss you~


    These two Emperor chat messages instantly ignited the passion of the chat.


    "Damn! This information is too much!"


    "Don''t these two women get jealous?"


    "Oh my god, Tuantuan and Dumb Little Sister confessed their love for Ming God in public!"


    "Breaking news, Ming God is on two boats!"


    "Ming God''s wife, Tuantuan, is here. Who dares to mess around? Even the Emperor can''t!"


    Jiang Siming also saw these two chat messages, nodded and smiled, "If you''re free tonight, I''ll treat you to dinner."


    Dumb Little Sister and Tuantuan immediately agreed upon hearing this.


    After saying that, they didn''t leave the live stream room, nor did they disturb Jiang Siming again. They quietly stayed in the 99999 live stream room, watching the broadcast.

 Chapter 69: Three Korean Sisters

    ---Thank you for your support. Please vote with power stones. 100 power stones = 2 additional chapters for that week¡ª


    The executives at Douyu learned that Jiang Siming had brought three Korean girls, and in order to ease the translation pressure for Jiang Siming, they immediately arranged for a Korean translator from Douyu to act as a translator for the audience, with Jiang Siming''s permission.


    Given the situation, there was no need to call out; the platform automatically arranged for a translator to assist.


    While hearing Jiang Siming communicate with the three Korean girls, the appointed translator felt quite embarrassed.


    "I''m not bragging, but Ming God''s Korean proficiency is several levels higher than mine. It''s embarrassing to show off translation skills in front of him."


    The viewers commented that she only needed to translate what they said; there was no need to compare her Korean with Ming God''s.


    Jiang Siming, accompanied by the three Korean girls, or rather, being accompanied by them, found the marked location too far. Except for Jiang Siming, the three of them failed to glide over and fell in the middle of the journey.


    Being a true gentleman, Jiang Siming found a car and rushed back to pick them up.


    "Thank you, oppa~"


    "Thank you, oppa-san (older brother/sister)~"


    "oppa-san, thank you very much~"


    All three Korean girls expressed their gratitude in Chinese, showing that they had some exposure to the language, and they spoke it very fluently.


    Male viewers listened with envy, thinking that Ming God had three girls with him; can he handle it? Shouldn''t we help him share the ''pain''...


    Driving back with the three girls to the designated small town, they played on the island map. The location they chose was in the top-left corner of the map, K-city under Bright Summit.


    However, the safe zone spawned at the airport, which could only be described as an unfortunate selection.


    The three girls also noticed this and expressed their ''complaints.''


    "Oppa-san~ It''s so far~"


    "Unnie (older sister) Enhye, look at the location you marked; your luck is too bad."


    "Oh, you little filial daughter! Dare to speak ill of me like this. My luck isn''t bad, it''s because... it''s because of the man in spot number four, his luck is too bad, which... affects mine... cough cough.


    Yes, that''s it."


    Jiang Siming rolled his eyes and commented, "I can understand Korean, you know? Speaking ill of me in front of my face, I never participated in selecting the location."


    Hearing Jiang Siming''s complaint, Yin Enhye suddenly realized that Jiang Siming could speak Korean and felt embarrassed.


    But she still straightened her posture, pretending to be ''fierce'' and said, "It''s you, it''s all your fault."


    "If your last name is Lai, then just shift the blame to others; I won''t take this blame." Jiang Siming replied.


    Pfft~


    Giggles...


    The other two girls laughed out loud.


    "Wow haha! Let''s go! Gogogo!"


    Yin Enhye stepped on the gas, and the car rushed toward the safe zone.


    "Jihyo!"


    "What?"


    "Turn on the car music!"


    "Big sister, there''s no car music."


    "Just sing a song casually; let''s have some fun."


    "I won''t. You sing yourself."


    "Yun''er, sing a song! You''re an expert in this."


    "Umm...I''m not sure if it''s appropriate..."


    "What are you afraid of? There''s nothing to be shy about. It''s a good opportunity for the Chinese oppa to hear your singing. Maybe he''ll fall in love with you because of it."


    "Unnie Enhye! If you talk nonsense again, I won''t talk to you anymore!"


    "Alright, alright, I won''t say anything. Start singing."


    "????????????, ????????????"


    Lin Yun''er''s singing surprised the audience as soon as she started.


    Even in an acapella performance, Lin Yun''er''s singing captivated countless viewers.


    The clear, sweet tones, the beautiful and natural singing skills¡ªit sounded enchanting, and even Jiang Siming felt like he was hearing the voice of his first love.


    In that moment, Jiang Siming even started to wonder if this person was really Lin Yun''er. However, upon second thought, he found it highly unlikely. How could it be so coincidental? It was probably just a common name.


    Lin Yun''er didn''t sing for long before it turned into a ''scream'' because Yin Enhye had crashed the car.


    "It''s okay, it''s okay. Cough, I wasn''t paying attention. It won''t happen again."


    "Unnie Enhye, do you even know how to drive?"


    "I lost a lot of blood from the bump. Unnie Enhye, you owe me two bottles of medicine."


    "Okay, okay! I''ll compensate, alright? You ungrateful wolves, being a driver is not easy!"


    "We didn''t ask you to be the driver. How about you get off, and let the Chinese oppa drive."


    "Alright, as you wish. If he drives, it''ll be even more disastrous. Then you''ll cry without end!"


    After saying this, Yin Enhye actually got off the car and forcibly swapped positions with Jiang Siming.


    It wasn''t really a forceful exchange of positions. She used two bottles of painkillers for the deal, and Jiang Siming was more than happy with that transaction.

    After Jiang Siming got in the car, Yin Enhui instantly fell silent. This was because when she saw Jiang Siming driving smoothly through the bumpy mountainous terrain, not a drop of blood was shed.


    "Oppa, your driving skills are amazing!"


    "Oppa, are you the ''veteran driver'' that the Chinese netizens talk about?"


    Casually winning the admiration of two young girls, only Yin Enhui snorted twice to express her discontent. After all, her driving skills weren''t bad either, just a bit inferior to this Chinese man.


    "There''s another car next to us, get ready to drive and shoot at them." Jiang Siming swung the rear of the Jeep as it rushed out of the woods.


    The three girls immediately noticed that Jiang Siming''s words were not unfounded; indeed, there was a small car passing by. Instantly, the three of them leaned out of the car, wildly firing at the small car - rat-tat-tat.


    Bullets sprayed from their Gatling guns, but after shooting for a while, not a single person from the other side fell, nor did they see any blood spewing from the car.


    Just as Jiang Siming was about to mock the marksmanship of the three, the small car suddenly turned, and Lin Yuner, sitting behind him, also turned the gun.


    Turning the gun wasn''t a big deal, but what left Jiang Siming dumbfounded was that when she turned the gun, her body happened to retract from outside the car.


    In other words, when she fired the gun from inside the car... she was shooting at Jiang Siming.


    "Player [prohin] used the SCAR-L assault rifle to kill Player [4am_ming]."


    "You have been knocked down by a teammate!"


    Jiang Siming''s screen went dark, rolling off the car and crawling to the ground.


    The most desperate thing was that the three women were still unaware. It wasn''t until the car stopped that they discovered... the driver was gone.


    The viewers watching the live stream burst into laughter.


    "Hahaha, should I laugh directly or follow the script?"


    "I didn''t expect that I, Ming God, could massacre so many professional players but couldn''t escape a Korean girl''s gun."


    "Ming God''s skills have declined, why did he get knocked down? Haha."


    "These three women are unbelievable, still reloading and shooting at people."


    "Ming God: I have an ''mmp'' to say or not!"


    "Ah! Where''s Oppa?" Zhi Xiao exclaimed.


    "Ah! Yuner, how did you kill Oppa?" Yin Enhui noticed the kill notification in the upper right corner.


    Finally realizing it, Jiang Siming breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he was about to be ruthlessly forgotten.


    Before leaving, Zhi Xiao couldn''t help but say, "I think that red checkered outfit looks good. I might want to go back and change."


    Jiang Siming ignored her completely, feeling a headache as he accelerated the car.


    Viewers burst into laughter, feeling sorry for Ming God. It turned out that Korean and Chinese girls had something in common.


    As the car approached the airport bridge, they heard intense gunfire even before getting on the bridge. Gunshots were popping like firecrackers.


    "There are so many people ahead. What if we swim across the sea?" Zhi Xiao suggested fearfully.


    Not only her, but the other two women weren''t in a much better state. They all agreed with Zhi Xiao''s proposal.


    Jiang Siming had a headache, saying, "The poison has already come, and there are no boats in the sea. If we swim, we''ll probably die in the sea. Better not become water ghosts."


    "What should we do then? If we go over there, we''ll be shot dead in the car. By then, my body will definitely be full of bullet holes. I''m so beautiful; I don''t want others to turn me into a sieve."


    "Yeah, better to become water ghosts. That''s also beautiful."


    "I agree too."


    Jiang Siming rubbed his temples; this wasn''t working. His blood pressure was a bit high.


    Jiang Siming parked the car next to a wrecked vehicle on the bridge and told the three women, "Wait here for a moment. I''ll clear out the enemies, and then I''ll take you across."


    After saying that, regardless of the three women''s thoughts of continuing to swim across the sea, Jiang Siming raised his Mini, equipped with a three-times scope, aimed at the bridge, and pulled the trigger!


    At this moment, there was a fight between two squads on the bridge, completely neglecting the side where Jiang Siming was.


    Without any defense, it was too easy for Jiang Siming. One shot, one headshot. After twenty bullets, everyone on the opposite side was dead.


    Ding! A red light flashed, and fragments appeared!


    "Let''s go, cross the bridge." Jiang Siming honked the car horn and said to the three girls, who were still a bit stunned.


    "Oppa, how did you do that?"


    "I saw the kill feed in the upper right corner; he must have killed at least six people."


    "Amazing!"


    The chattering voices of the three women made the audience in the live stream feel that it was quite impressive.


    Look, this is their Chinese idol Ming God! So strong! Strong enough to make three Korean girls admire him instantly!


    However, Jiang Siming didn''t react much; his mind was solely focused on that fast-approaching red fragment.


    He walked over to the parked car, picked it up.

 Chapter 71: One God Carries Three Idiots

    ---Thank you for your support. Please vote with power stones. 100 power stones = 2 additional chapters for that week¡ª


    "Pick up the fragment [Basic Swimming Mastery] *1 (1/1), the number of fragments is full, can be used directly."


    Swimming mastery? Good stuff!


    Jiang Siming happened to be a duck on land. Since almost drowning in a shallow stream as a child, he had avoided water altogether. There was a deep-seated fear of water, and now, it seemed that this childhood trauma had been resolved.


    With the fragment in hand, Jiang Siming was satisfied. He turned his head and looked at the three women, and suddenly had a black line on his forehead.


    These three women were changing clothes again!


    Drive! Let''s go!


    Once again, with the three women who were reluctant to leave and were still discussing which outfit looked better, they crossed the bridge and entered the airport area.


    The island of the airport, which covered countless player corpses, was silent, not even a bird chirping.


    Just as their car passed the "Lovers'' Slope" by the side of the bridge, Jiang Siming''s team encountered an ambush.


    Jiang Siming quickly jumped out of the car to dodge their bullets, but the other three women weren''t so lucky, and two of them fell.


    "Wu wu, it''s too much, how can they ambush like this."


    "I''m down, am I going to die? En Hui, quickly come and save me."


    En Hui looked at the two fallen teammates, feeling helpless as she believed they were doomed.


    But Jiang Siming got back into the car, stepped on the gas, braved the rain of bullets, and positioned the car in front of the two fallen girls. He quickly got out of the car and blew up the vehicle entirely.


    The wrecked car became a cover, helping them evade the bullets coming at them.


    "Oppa, you''re really considerate!" En Hui couldn''t help but praise Jiang Siming. She was a bit unconvinced before, but seeing this scene made her dismiss those feelings.


    "Thank you, Oppa!" Lin Yuner and Song Jihyo also thanked Jiang Siming in unison. He had risked his life to save them when he almost got shot by others.


    Before, they had encountered many random teammates, but no one was willing to save them in such a life-threatening situation.


    Even if they were behind cover, those teammates would just say indifferently, "You''re so bad, it''s better to die. Saving you is pointless."


    Some kind-hearted teammates might help when they first saw that they were girls, but in situations like this, most would choose to watch coldly and say, "Sorry, there''s nothing I can do."


    Therefore, Jiang Siming''s action moved the two girls.


    Jiang Siming didn''t respond, just leaned out quickly, killed the nearest enemy, and then turned to help the two girls up.


    "Lie down and heal, No. 1, throw your grenades at them, leave the rest to me."


    En Hui, following Jiang Siming''s command without any hesitation, though her grenade throws were chaotic and didn''t kill anyone, it disrupted the enemies'' plans to rush them.


    But could a professional player be this powerful? Was he a professional player among professional players? It sounded a bit convoluted.


    "Oppa, I heard that PUBG is about to hold a competition. Will you participate?" Jihyo still had some understanding of the game.


    "Yes, but I have to rank in the top three in the country first before going to London for the global competition," Jiang Siming replied.


    "Oh, if you really go to England and I have time, I''ll go to the venue to cheer for you! Yuner, are you going?" Jihyo said.


    Lin Yuner felt a bit shy but responded, "If the company has no issues, I''ll also go."


    This...


    Jiang Siming didn''t expect that just playing a game with these two girls would lead to them wanting to cheer for him at a competition venue.


    "Thank you, then."


    Although he thanked them, Jiang Siming didn''t really believe it. Maybe they were just saying it without intending to follow through.


    This kind of talk is only believed by young people who are still in the school stage. For someone like Jiang Siming, who is working in the society, he has heard countless promises and grand plans from bosses and managers.


    At first, he was full of expectations, but later on, he became numb to it.


    After a brief rest, Jiang Siming led the three girls towards the safe zone.


    Occupying a central point in a small residential area, the four of them hid inside, waiting for prey.


    "You owe me a song. Can you pay it back?" Jiang Siming asked Lin Yuner. Since there was nothing to do now, listening to the girls sing wouldn''t be a bad idea.


    Usually, it was Jiang Siming singing for the audience, but now he could listen to someone else, and especially if they sang well ¨C in the words of the audience: "just very nice~"


    Lin Yuner just remembered this joke, so she continued to sing the song she started earlier.


    But Jiang Siming was not satisfied.


    "Can you sing a Chinese song?"


    "But I don''t know how." Yuner hesitated. It''s not that she didn''t want to sing; she genuinely didn''t know how.


    "It''s okay, I''ll play it for you, and you can learn to sing." Jiang Siming suddenly grinned. Continue your adventure with empire


    "Okay." Naive Yuner agreed.


    Jiang Siming brought up the music player, searched for a song, and played it in front of everyone.


    The audience, after hearing it, all revealed a sly smile. "Ming God, you''re too cheeky!"


    Unaware of what was happening, Lin Yuner listened attentively to the music playing and then started to learn the lyrics.

 Chapter 72: Husband, Husband, Wooden Horse~

    "Husband, husband, wooden horse, one wooden horse on the left... Husband, husband, hug hug, I want a princess hug, a flying hug..."


    Despite the effort to learn singing, Lin Yun''er managed to sing with a semblance of skill. Although Chinese may sound a bit awkward, everyone understood the meaning.


    The song she sang was the recently popular internet song "Husband is Number One," which many girls had learned, but it was challenging for guys to endure.


    With Lin Yun''er''s naturally sweet voice, she brought out the essence of the song to the fullest. If her Chinese were a bit better, she could easily surpass the original singer.


    "Ming God, won''t your conscience ache doing this? Well done!"


    "Husband, I didn''t expect you to be this kind of person. I can sing for you if you want."


    "A Korean girl like this, I love it!"


    "I feel like falling in love, so sweet!"


    "Doesn''t know if the other party will slaughter you after understanding the meaning of this song, but for now, please continue! Hahaha..."


    Seeing the barrage of comments from the audience, Jiang Siming knew that this ''show'' was well-received. Looking at their lecherous faces, they kept saying I''m lewd, bah!


    After completing the entire song, Lin Yun''er stuck her tongue out, smiling, "Fortunately, the lyrics seemed the same, not too difficult. Otherwise, I might sing off-key."


    "You sang really well, very enjoyable," Jiang Siming praised.


    "Why does this Chinese song feel a bit strange? ''Husband,'' this word sounds so familiar," Yin Enxi was puzzled.


    Jiang Siming felt something was off and immediately changed the topic, "The safe zone is about to shrink. We''re in the house area at the center. Prepare for possible enemies from the right side."


    Hearing that there might be enemies, the three women took it seriously, and the topic was successfully avoided.


    Audience members jokingly criticized Jiang Siming for being cunning.


    Surprisingly, someone indeed approached them. A fully-equipped team ran towards them, and without mercy, Jiang Siming chose to open fire.


    It was a team of easy kills. Jiang Siming left two heads intact, wounded, and then let the three girls finish them off.


    "These two are just one shot away from death; you guys handle it."


    Although their marksmanship was poor, they occasionally hit a shot when practicing shooting targets. Lin Yun''er and Zhi Xiaol got their first kills. Your next chapter is on empire


    "Yeah!! Finally got a kill!! Thank you, Oppa~" Zhi Xiaol was excited.


    They completely ignored their usual goddess image.


    In the end, their whole team got 13 kills and won the chicken dinner.


    Jiang Siming got 7 kills, and each of the three women got 2 kills, a very evenly distributed result.


    However, they all knew that if Jiang Siming didn''t protect them and let them get kills, they wouldn''t even have one.


    "Oppa, let''s continue playing together in the next round, okay?" Zhi Xiaol invited Jiang Siming.


    Playing with such a good random player, hearing pleasant voices, receiving meticulous protection, and easily winning chicken dinners ¨C the taste of this made Zhi Xiaol, who had experienced it once, unable to stop.


    "Yeah, Oppa, let''s play together!" Lin Yun''er also joined the invitation.


    Unfortunately, Jiang Siming did not comply with their wishes.


    "No, I have friends coming, let''s play together next time," Jiang Siming politely declined.


    After all, he only got one golden soft sister coin fragment in this round, and as someone who felt the drop rate was low, Jiang Siming didn''t want to waste more time.


    Playing with them would result in fewer kills, naturally leading to a lower drop rate. Better to play solo.


    "Oh, I see. Well then," all three women seemed a bit disappointed, including Yin Enxi.


    "Yeah, goodbye for now. We can play together another time," Jiang Siming said as he was about to leave.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    Three consecutive friend invitations, all from these three women.


    Jiang Siming accepted each one, bid farewell again, and then left the team.


    After Jiang Siming left, Yin Enxi played two more rounds with the two women, but this time they were matched with random players. However, the gaming experience made them feel quite unpleasant. There is no progress without comparison.


    With every random player they encountered, they couldn''t help but compare them to Jiang Siming. The result was dismal, far from satisfying.


    In the end, neither Zhi Xiaol nor Lin Yun''er had the desire to continue playing. Yin Enxi also had to close the game and take them out to eat.


    However, for some reason, even when eating the Beijing zha jiang mian she made, Lin Yun''er remained in high spirits but would occasionally go into a daze.


    Zhi Xiaol also found the meal less appetizing, occasionally mentioning something about going to London. It seemed like she was quite serious about it...

 Chapter 73: New Song Again

    After playing a few more solo rounds and realizing that the drop rates were indeed low today, possibly due to issues with the Korean server, Jiang Siming lost interest in continuing.


    Performing a few rounds of intense killing, Jiang Siming bid farewell to the audience in the live stream.


    He had a dinner appointment with Tuan Tuan tonight, and he didn''t want to break that promise.


    However, the audience, who had developed discerning tastes, wasn''t easily fooled.


    "Why end the stream so early? Planning something with the old woman and Tuantuan?"


    "No way! If you end early, you must sing two songs!"


    "That''s right, sing, or we won''t let you go."


    "Blame this old woman and Tuantuan for stealing my husband''s attention."


    "With beautiful women inviting him, how could Ming God have the mood to stay here."


    "Singing a song and then you can leave."


    "We finally got to see you live, haven''t had enough yet, sob."


    Seeing these comments, Jiang Siming couldn''t help but laugh. It seemed that setting high expectations for the stream had led to the audience bargaining with him.


    "Alright, alright, I didn''t say I won''t sing. Today, I''ll sing a new song for you. Is that okay?" Jiang Siming shrugged.


    The atmosphere in the chat immediately changed, faster than flipping through a book.


    "Great, great!"


    "Another new song? Haha, let''s go!"


    "Oh my! Ming God, are you sure you don''t want to become a singer?"


    "Ming God is singing a new song again! I''ll go inform other streams first."


    "With this speed of writing songs, he''s a genius. Seriously, not considering a debut?"


    "My husband, I love you. I want to hear the new song!"


    Facing these "fickle" and "hypocritical" viewers, Jiang Siming had nothing more to say.


    He stood up from his computer chair, walked over to the piano this time, opting for the piano over the guitar.


    The sound of the piano is much mellower and grander than the guitar, and it exudes a sense of sophistication, making it an essential element for showing off and looking cool. R


    "Really can play the piano, I thought it was just for show."


    "You, you''re so bad! Is there anything you can''t do?"


    Tuantuan also admitted that her level 100 was achieved with over 5 million gifts sent by her company, which was still a considerable achievement without too much controversy.


    In addition, other outdoor streamers, beauty streamers, etc., almost all of them have artificially boosted their levels, with significant controversies.


    Jiang Siming, on the other hand, is different. He went from being a casual viewer to a streamer in just over ten days, without any guild or company support. The gifts he received were willingly given by his fans.


    With 230,000 fan cards, Jiang Siming never even organized a fan card lottery, showcasing his authentic achievements.


    Even in the eyes of Douyu executives, it was considered a miracle. Douyu was already planning to negotiate with Jiang Siming to upgrade his A-level contract to S-level or even higher.


    Before sitting at the piano, Jiang Siming rolled up his sleeves, revealing well-proportioned arms and slender, well-defined fingers.


    "The name of this new song is ''Lu Zhou Moon.''"


    Lu Zhou Moon?


    Such an elegant name!


    The audience fell silent, and the barrage of comments rapidly decreased. Many experienced viewers shut down their speakers or put on headphones, creating a serene atmosphere in the live stream.


    Despite the inability to chat in the live stream, the subtle change to this peaceful state was evident to every viewer.


    As his fingertips descended, the piano keys danced gracefully.


    A melodious and resonant melody flowed through the piano, the microphone, and into the ears of each person.


    "In childhood, I stole the light from someone''s wall, Enduring hardships and ten years of studying without bathing. Now, under the lamp, leisurely reading with a red sleeve adding fragrance, Half of the fame is just a delusion..."


    No one expected Jiang Siming''s new song to have a completely different style from the previous two.


    A strong sense of nostalgic Chinese style filled the air, with finely crafted lyrics and a delicate, gentle melody.


    It felt as if everyone was transported back to the era when Jay Chou sang "Faraway" and "Blue and White Porcelain."


    In that era, Jay Chou''s Chinese style was unparalleled, attracting numerous fans.


    Unfortunately, the good times didn''t last long. After Jay Chou''s peak composing period, although there were occasional Chinese-style songs, the quality declined.


    Later, Jay Chou got married and had a daughter, becoming a father. Chinese-style songs gradually disappeared.


    During this time, countless singers tried to create Chinese-style songs, but none could compare to Jay Chou. All were left in his shadow.


    Fans lamented that after Jay Chou, there was no more Chinese style.


    Now, Jiang Siming suddenly wrote a song that made everyone reminisce about that era, the time of azure skies, waiting for rain, and the youthful years full of uncertainties.


    In fact, only Xu Song, known as Vae, was considered the only artist whose Chinese style could be compared to Jay Chou''s by fans.

 Chapter 74: Lu Zhou Moon

    Unfortunately, this world doesn''t have Xu Song, but when Jiang Siming releases his song, it will create a tremendous sensation.


    The first two songs he sang were just two popular internet songs, but this third one is far beyond what typical internet songs can compare to.


    Of course, Jiang Siming is currently unaware of all this, completely immersed in the music.


    "In March, the road is filled with mist, birds fly, and grass grows long. Willow catkins flutter, and I see my hometown. I wonder if you, in my heart, are still in Luzhou. A strand of black hair, treasured throughout life.


    Lovers on the bridge walk hand in hand, By the bridge, red flowers sigh, the night is too long. The moon sways, and people are wandering, From the black box comes a song of parting..."


    If anyone had doubts before this passage, after this section, the audience''s hearts were completely opened!


    It''s like a thousand-year-old ice coffin being melted by the scorching sun!


    Yes! That''s right! That''s the feeling! The long-lost Chinese style! The long-lost ancient style!


    In the hearts of the audience, cheers erupted for Jiang Siming''s song. However, not a single person dared to interrupt his singing, not even a tap on the barrage; everyone was cautious.


    "I feel like I''m listening to the albums ''Wo Hen Mang'' from 2007, ''Ye Ran Fan Te Xi'' from 2006, and ''Qi Li Xiang'' from 2004."


    "This song is completely Chinese style, genuine and sincere. It feels so familiar."


    "I thought there was no more Chinese style after Jay Chou, but today, I''m fortunate to hear it again."


    "What other nonsense about other singers? None of them can compare to a gaming streamer!"


    "Ming God, after hearing this song, I only know one thing: you''re going to be famous!"


    "Not only is the song good, but the singing is also excellent. I''m getting drunk in your voice!"

    [Dragon KnightؼDragon Roaring] Emperor enters the live stream... Continue reading on empire


    One emperor after another entered the live stream. Almost all of Douyu''s big spenders appeared.


    These big spenders weren''t using accounts managed by talent agencies; they were entirely personal accounts built on their individual strength.


    Suddenly, there were over 100 emperors in Jiang Siming''s live stream. However, not a single one sent gifts.


    A series of enthusiastic gifts seemed to represent the audience''s current mood, expressing their love for Jiang Siming''s song. The crazy wave of gifts elevated Jiang Siming''s live stream level by three tiers.


    95... 96... 97... 98...


    This wild spree of gifts propelled Jiang Siming''s live stream level to 98.


    Millions of gifts were thrown out as if they were free.


    Previously, when Jiang Siming secured the title of the strongest anchor, he only gained two levels. Moreover, as one progresses, leveling up becomes even more challenging. This time, it can be inferred from the significant increase in levels that the audience showered him with a substantial number of gifts.


    The contributors were not only tycoons; more were ordinary viewers who purchased memberships or sent virtual gifts. Despite lacking financial strength, these viewers were still willing to express their appreciation to Jiang Siming.


    The number of fan badges suddenly exceeded 350,000!


    From this, it can be seen how artificially inflated the levels of other 100-level anchors are. Jiang Siming already has 350,000 fans, and he is not yet at full level. Meanwhile, anchors with only tens of thousands or even thousands of fan badges are all at full level.


    The truth needs no elaboration; two words suffice: impressive indeed.


    The commotion attracted the attention of Douyu executives, who flocked to watch. The live stream briefly lagged due to the overwhelming response, but fortunately, the issue was addressed promptly, preventing further interruptions.


    [Traveling Frog] Emperor: I just brought my friend jj over to listen, and he told me that your musical talent is fantastic. He''s interested in collaborating with you. Are you interested?


    At this moment, Wang Xiaozhang''s comment stirred even more excitement among the audience.


    Who is jj? That''s none other than JJ Lin!


    JJ Lin, approaching a gaming streamer for a collaboration? Does it sound unbelievable? But it''s true.


    [DouyuؼXuan] Emperor: I never expected that our platform not only produced a gaming genius but also a musical genius (playful~).


    [LoveAdventure] Emperor: It makes me not want to return to Huya. I''ll come here often in the future. You sing really well.


    Saying that the reviews were overwhelmingly positive would be an understatement.


    Jiang Siming originally intended to end the broadcast, but the millions of viewers refused to leave. They insisted that Jiang Siming sing the song again.


    Several dozen emperors even declared that if Jiang Siming didn''t sing it again, they would stay here all night, waiting until he did, even if it meant staying up until they collapsed.


    Only then did Jiang Siming realize that this song might become extremely popular. Oh no, what should he do? He wasn''t prepared yet...


    To satisfy the multitude of requests, Jiang Siming reluctantly sang the song again. As the encore began, fans once again flooded the stream with gifts. The number of fan badges officially surpassed the 400,000 mark! The level was just a hair''s breadth away from reaching 99.


    However, this was no longer Jiang Siming''s concern. With his skillful exit strategy, he swiftly left the broadcast again, leaving the fans in awe.

 Chapter 75: Human Traffickers On the Street

    Even though Jiang Siming left the computer after ending the live broadcast, discussions about his new song online spread rapidly like wildfire.


    In just a little over an hour.


    The game streamer once again captivated millions of netizens with his new song "Luzhou Moon"! #WeiboTrendingSixth


    The video and audio versions of "Luzhou Moon" have already been created by various major websites'' content creators.


    Download numbers on platforms like Bilibili, AcFun, A Station have all exceeded five hundred thousand!


    Under each video, there are praises from netizens.


    Despite some attempts by attention seekers to criticize, their feeble sparks are no match for the overwhelming enthusiasm, disappearing like a drop in the ocean.


    News about Lin Junjie (jj) inviting Jiang Siming for a collaboration has also been revealed, leaving netizens curious about the streamer who frequently becomes a news hotspot.


    There are even several music companies considering collaborations with Jiang Siming.


    However, the people involved are still unaware of all this.


    Coming out of his study, Jiang Siming glanced around at his empty home.


    Wang Xinyi had already informed him that she would be staying in the dormitory for a few days as she had night shifts to prepare for postgraduate exams.


    So, Jiang Siming had to stay alone in the luxurious villa for the next two days.


    After a quick tidy up, Jiang Siming drove to the restaurant where he and his friends had made reservations ¨C Haidilao.


    Both of his friends loved spicy food, so they unanimously decided to go to Haidilao for hot pot.


    Jiang Siming wasn''t particularly afraid of spicy food, but that was just relative.


    As a guy from Yunnan, trying to compete in eating spicy food with a girl from Hunan was like looking for trouble.


    After dinner, Jiang Siming drove back.


    Although he had the idea of revisiting the scene of the threesome, it was put on hold because Tuantuan was having her period this time, and her friend who seemed somewhat dazed was also back.


    So, he temporarily abandoned this thought.


    "I''ll go find Jiang Lan later," Jiang Siming muttered to himself.


    This fire couldn''t be left unattended; otherwise, it would burn him up. .c


    Just as he turned onto a small road near the school from the main road in the city, Jiang Siming witnessed a traffic accident.


    A black Mercedes G intentionally stopped a white Wuling Hongguang.


    The Wuling Hongguang ahead also noticed it and immediately accelerated.


    However, how could this van outrun the speed of a sports car?


    Although the Wuling Hongguang was jokingly touted as a "divine car" online, it was mostly meant as a joke unless it had been specially modified.


    Jiang Siming quickly caught up with the Wuling and rolled down his window, shouting angrily at the driver, "Stop the car!"


    But the other party ignored him, not only did they not stop, but they also swung the front of their car and collided with Jiang Siming''s car.


    Jiang Siming, not paying attention, was almost knocked out of the guardrail, but fortunately, his quick reaction saved him from the disaster.


    "You damn it!" Having suffered such a big loss, how could Jiang Siming let it go?


    Ignoring the damage to his own car, he decided to return the favor ¨C if you hit me once, I''ll smash your car front!


    Screech! Bang!


    The sound of tires rubbing and cars colliding rang out simultaneously.


    Jiang Siming manipulated the front of his car, continuously ramming the Wuling from all sides!


    The doors of the Wuling were all dented, and although Jiang Siming''s car didn''t fare well either, it was certain that it needed major repairs.


    If it weren''t for the concern about Zhao Xuan''s daughter, Jiang Siming could have flipped this van over.


    But the other party seemed a bit scared now, fearing that Jiang Siming might actually flip them. They stopped by the roadside.


    Jiang Siming knew they had a gun, but if he didn''t stop, and they decided to run away with Zhao Xuan''s daughter, he would be helpless.


    In the end, Jiang Siming decided to stop as well.


    Four people got down from the Wuling Hongguang, three men and one woman, all wearing menacing expressions, clearly not good people.


    The woman was still holding a hunting rifle, the same one used to shoot Zhao Xuan''s tire.


    "Damn it, you like racing, huh? Today, I''ll smash both you and this car to pieces!"


    One of the bearded men was holding a steel rod and walked towards Jiang Siming''s car.


    At this moment, Jiang Siming had not yet left the car. Seeing that the person was approaching the rear of his car, Jiang Siming shifted gears and stepped on the gas.


    The car backed up, picking up speed. A dull sound echoed ¨C Bang!


    The bearded man was instantly sent flying three to four meters by Jiang Siming, lying on the ground groaning, losing the ability to move.

 Chapter 76: Save Zhao Xuan’s Daughter

    The remaining three people were furious. The burly woman with a fierce face raised the hunting rifle and fired a shot at Jiang Siming''s car.


    In an instant, the glass shattered, and shotgun pellets sprayed. One of them even penetrated Jiang Siming''s car seat, but despite the apparent danger, Jiang Siming remained unharmed.


    Jiang Siming realized that these people were not only human traffickers but also ruthless kidnappers. Fighting them head-on might cost lives, so Jiang Siming decided to stall and wait for the police.


    Unfortunately, it seemed like the kidnappers understood Jiang Siming''s intentions. They helped the fallen bearded man back into the car and attempted to drive away. Your next read is at empire


    With no other options, Jiang Siming couldn''t afford to stall any longer and had to confront them directly.


    The deformed rear of Jiang Siming''s car made intimate contact with the Wuling Hongguang again, causing the van to stall right as it was about to accelerate.


    This move completely angered the kidnappers. The three individuals got out of the car again and headed towards Jiang Siming''s driver''s seat.


    Jiang Siming beat them to it, opening the car door and jumping out.


    Facing Jiang Siming, the woman with the gun lifted it, but she noticed Jiang Siming was holding something like an iron rod.


    It was a steering wheel lock, similar to a steel rod.


    With a powerful swing, Jiang Siming sent the lock like a meteor hammer crashing into the woman''s waist.


    Jiang Siming''s strength had been enhanced through the use of basic genetic drugs, and the force of the lock hitting the woman''s waist was tremendous. She screamed in agony, collapsed to the ground, and dropped the shotgun, unable to hold onto it.


    Having successfully dealt with the most threatening weapon, Jiang Siming breathed a sigh of relief.


    The woman, struck by the lock, suffered internal organ damage, and she was vomiting blood in pain.


    Despite the brutality, Jiang Siming felt no remorse. These people were nothing more than beasts.


    The remaining two men, seeing another comrade fall, angrily attacked Jiang Siming. Each of them wielded either a steel rod or a machete, aiming viciously at Jiang Siming''s head.


    Without the threat of a gun, Jiang Siming was not afraid of these two men.


    With an incredibly agile body and lightning-fast reflexes, Jiang Siming sidestepped their attacks effortlessly.


    Perhaps the dosage of the drugs wasn''t enough, as the girl woke up shortly after being placed in Jiang Siming''s car.


    Running out of the car and witnessing the scene, the clever girl quickly grasped the situation.


    "Uncle, did you save me?" she asked.


    Cough, cough!


    Jiang Siming inhaled the smoke into his lungs, causing a few coughs. Uncle? This was the first time someone had called him uncle. It used to be "brother." Oh, how time flies.


    "No need to be afraid. I''m a friend of your mom''s. She''ll be here soon with the police to rescue you," Jiang Siming reassured her.


    The little girl, undeterred, approached Jiang Siming boldly. Though she wore a standard school uniform, her inherent beauty couldn''t be concealed.


    The slight development of small hills on her chest hinted at the potential for future beauty.


    "Uncle, you''re amazing! You beat up so many people alone. Are you a martial arts master from legends?" she asked, her twin ponytails swinging with each shake of her head, adorable as can be.


    Amused, Jiang Siming decided to tease her and said mysteriously, "You''ve got a keen eye. Actually, I''m a descendant of the Tang Sect, the most talented genius at Shrek Academy, with the title..."


    Before he could finish, the little girl scoffed, "Uncle, I''ve read Douluo Continent long ago. Are you going to claim you''re some kind of Thousand Hands Asura Haotian Douluo?"


    "Uh... just teasing you, kiddo," Jiang Siming chuckled awkwardly. It seemed even young girls these days enjoyed reading fantasy novels, or at least the old ones.


    Without saying a word, the little girl stared at Jiang Siming and said, "I know you. You''re Ming God! Mom''s livestream platform!"


    "So clever. How many points did you score in the last final exam?" Jiang Siming asked with a smile.


    "First in the whole city. Don''t bother asking, Uncle. Let me ask you something instead," the little girl said, sitting beside Jiang Siming and grabbing his arm.


    Jiang Siming suddenly encountered the girl''s small chest, though tiny, it was still perceptible¡ªsoft.


    Spitting in disgust, he thought, this is a little girl; I''m not some perverted old uncle!

 Chapter 77: Look at Your Lack of Accomplishment!

    Hurry up and get rid of those dirty thoughts in your head.


    The little girl, still full of curiosity, continued to ask Jiang Siming various questions.


    "Uncle, what''s your relationship with my mom? Are you two in love?"


    "Who told you that?" Jiang Siming looked as if he had seen a ghost.


    "But my mom has been watching your livestreams a lot lately. She even watches you on her phone while eating. One time, when I went to the bathroom at night, I passed by her bedroom door, and I could hear your songs playing on her phone."


    "That''s because your mom likes to listen to me sing, that''s all. You, little girl, always love to imagine things."


    After saying that, Jiang Siming pinched her rosy little face. Wow, the touch was great.


    The little girl didn''t mind and continued to argue, "It''s not just that. She also watches you play games often. My mom never plays games, how do you explain that?"


    "That''s because I''m an employee at her company. What''s wrong with her paying a little attention to me?"


    "Hmm, she has thousands of streamers in her company. Why is she only interested in you? I''ve never seen her watch any other streamer before."


    The little girl pouted, looking like a little adult.


    Jiang Siming wanted to continue the argument, but then he thought, why should a grown man like me be afraid of such suspicions? It doesn''t harm me in any way.


    So, he decided not to defend himself and instead smiled, teasing, "Well, what if I date your mom? Are you okay with that?"


    "Sure!" The little girl answered without hesitation.


    Jiang Siming''s forehead went dark, and he said, "What about your dad?"


    "I never had a dad since I was little. My mom found me abandoned by the roadside."


    This sentence stunned Jiang Siming.


    From the little girl''s words, Jiang Siming learned that she wasn''t Zhao Xuan''s biological daughter. Zhao Xuan had found her abandoned when she was young and raised her as her own. Despite having numerous suitors, Zhao Xuan remained single.


    "Did your mom tell you about this? Don''t you have any thoughts after hearing it?" Jiang Siming asked cautiously.


    Hearing Zhao Xuan''s words, Jiang Siming was at a loss for words.


    Fortunately, Zhao Xiaoxiao interjected, tilting her head and saying to Zhao Xuan, "Mom, I really like Uncle Jiang. How about you pursue him to be my dad?"


    "Huh?"


    Zhao Xuan was startled by Zhao Xiaoxiao''s words, and a blush spread across her enchanting face. Jiang Siming couldn''t help but feel a bit stunned.


    It''s not that he hadn''t seen the world or beautiful women before, but Zhao Xuan, a beauty of the highest level, mature, intelligent, and elegant, he dared to say that no man could resist her.


    "Child, don''t talk nonsense. Mom will spank you when we get home if you keep talking nonsense."


    Although Zhao Xuan pretended to be angry, her beautiful eyes involuntarily glanced at Jiang Siming.


    Suddenly, Jiang Siming''s mind received a message.


    "Affection +60! Affection: 90 (+30 base), reward: one random red fragment!"


    What the heck! 90 points!


    Jiang Siming was shocked.


    Even Tuantuan''s affection for him had just reached 90, and that was because of what happened after he slept with them. Meeting Zhao Xuan for the second time, and she already had such a high affection level, it was beyond Jiang Siming''s expectations.


    90 points of affection... Does this mean... he can... hehehe...


    Jiang Siming was lost in wild thoughts. Meanwhile, the police were trying to put the four captured criminals into the car but found that their injuries were severe.


    One had a fractured skull and was unconscious;


    One had a deep knife wound in the leg with continuous bleeding;


    One had a broken arm and a collapsed nose;


    The female criminal seemed to have a ruptured kidney, spitting up blood.


    The police rarely encountered such serious injuries in Shanghai and had to call for an ambulance.

 Chapter 78: Li Shengxue

    A police captain, around thirty years old, with a shiny face and powdered white complexion, walked over to Jiang Siming and asked, "Are these four people all the ones you injured?"


    "Mister Police, please watch your language. I did this to save lives, not to fight criminals," Jiang Siming responded unreservedly.


    The male captain felt displeased as Jiang Siming openly challenged his authority, raising his tone significantly.


    "But you''ve injured them severely; you need to take responsibility. This is excessive self-defense."


    "Ridiculous!" Zhao Xuan suddenly spoke up, her eyebrows furrowed, standing in front of Jiang Siming, saying:


    "My daughter was kidnapped by these criminals. Mr. Jiang risked his life to save my daughter for me. Instead of thanking him for helping you solve the case, you accuse the good Samaritan! Which precinct are you from? I''ll expose you!"


    The male captain was startled by Zhao Xuan''s imposing demeanor. He had joined the police force through connections and lacked practical law enforcement experience.


    Seeing that Jiang Siming was not only more handsome but also having a pleasant conversation with such a beautiful woman, he was consumed by jealousy.


    He came over thinking to intimidate Jiang Siming, but unexpectedly incurred Zhao Xuan''s strong dissatisfaction, and now she threatened to expose him.


    The male captain was momentarily speechless. Just then, the second team of officers arrived, led by a stern-faced policewoman.


    She approached Zhao Xuan first and apologized, "Mrs. Zhao Xuan, I''m sorry. Officer Li''s words were indeed inappropriate. Though we are not from the same team, for the honor of the police force, I must apologize to you. Apart from him, not all police officers are like that."


    The male captain had an unsightly expression. Not only was he accused by the victim''s family in public, but he was also despised by his colleagues.


    If it weren''t for the fact that this stern-faced policewoman was the goddess he had long wanted to pursue, he would have exploded earlier.


    The policewoman finished speaking and then smiled at Jiang Siming. Her icy expression melted with this smile, and the frostiness disappeared.


    "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for intervening and helping our police force solve the case. I saw the scene; there was even a hunting rifle. Mr. Jiang was able to subdue them. I, Li Shengxue, deeply admire you.


    After this incident is over, I will represent the police force in awarding Mr. Jiang an honorary Good Citizen certificate and a reward of one hundred thousand yuan."


    "No need for that; I don''t want to attract jealousy again, stealing the limelight from a certain police captain," Jiang Siming said in a weird tone.


    "Oh, I just saw those kidnappers were really fierce, just curious." Although Li Shengxue said this, her eyes were fixed on Jiang Siming without blinking.


    "You misunderstood. I''ve only learned some martial arts, and my physical fitness is better than average. It''s not as mysterious as you think, like a special forces soldier." Jiang Siming smiled.


    "Just having some martial arts knowledge and daring to confront armed criminals, Mr. Jiang, your courage truly impresses me. I''ve been interested in combat sports, such as boxing, since I was young. If you have time, I wonder if we could spar a bit? Rest assured, it will be a normal exchange, and we can decide based on your schedule." Li Shengxue was quite curious about Jiang Siming''s skills.


    She always loved combat sports, admired traditional Chinese martial arts, and had exceptional abilities, making her a prominent figure in the police force within three years.


    Seeing Li Shengxue''s eager eyes, Jiang Siming couldn''t come up with the usual polite words. He could only nod in agreement.


    After giving a statement to the forensics officer, Jiang Siming exchanged contact information with Li Shengxue. Only then did he leave the scene with Zhao Xuan and her daughter.


    Zhao Xuan''s car was also damaged, but she had already asked her secretary to bring a new car.


    By the time they arrived at Zhao Xuan''s home, it was already past eleven at night.


    Jiang Siming''s home was an hour away from there. If he went back now, he wouldn''t get to sleep until at least one or two in the morning.


    Considering this, Zhao Xuan said to Jiang Siming, "Little Jiang, it''s too late to go home now. How about staying at my place for the night, and I''ll send you back tomorrow."


    "No need, Sister Zhao. I can take a taxi back." Although Jiang Siming was tempted, he didn''t want to impose.


    "Listen to me. It''s too late now, and even if you go home alone, I won''t feel at ease. The kidnappers haven''t been fully investigated yet, and we don''t know if they have accomplices. Just to be safe, stay at my place for tonight, and you can go back tomorrow. Alright?"

    Seeing Zhao Xuan''s slightly pleading eyes, Jiang Siming softened and agreed.


    "Yes! That''s great! I can go listen to Uncle Jiang''s stories at night!" Zhao Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and bounced in excitement.


    Zhao Xuan''s face turned slightly red, but she nodded and said, "Go ahead. I''ll wait for you here."


    Zhao Xiaoxiao tilted her head, looking at Zhao Xuan and then at Jiang Siming, a mischievous smile appearing on her beautiful face, as if to say she didn''t need to help.

 Chapter 79: Zhao Xuan’s Confession

    The three came out of the garage and went upstairs.


    Zhao Xuan''s place is even more imposing than Jiang Siming''s villa, located in the affluent villa area on the west side of Pudong City.


    Just by looking at Zhao Xuan''s villa, Jiang Siming, who has worked as a real estate agent, can estimate at a glance that this mansion is worth no less than one hundred million.


    In a prime location, with such a large plot of land, a standalone villa, private garden, plus a private parking lot¡ªanyone who buys it makes a profit.


    Coming up from the underground parking lot, they took a direct elevator to the top, revealing the interior of the villa.


    Luxurious decoration, combined with the touch of foreign designers, makes Jiang Siming marvel at how Zhao Xuan enjoys life.


    "At home, it''s usually just my daughter and me. Occasionally, my parents come to stay for a while. Little Jiang, have a seat. I''ll get you some water. I won''t pour you coffee or tea; I''m afraid you won''t be able to sleep later," Zhao Xuan said as she walked towards the living room. Jiang Siming sat on the sofa.


    Zhao Xiaoxiao sneaked out from the washroom, whispered something in Jiang Siming''s ear.


    "Dad, do your best. Try to settle things with my mom tonight. If it doesn''t work, it''s okay to use force. I''ll cover for you."


    Jiang Siming listened with a bewildered look, his face darkened. He reached out and pinched this collagen-filled girl''s cheek.


    Zhao Xiaoxiao winced, and with her cute big eyes, she glared at Jiang Siming.


    "Xiaoxiao, who let you out? After bathing, go upstairs to sleep!" Zhao Xuan scolded as she came out.


    "Understood..." Once Zhao Xuan appeared, Zhao Xiaoxiao dared not act out and obediently left. Before leaving, she made a funny face at Jiang Siming.


    "Didn''t Xiaoxiao scare you?" Zhao Xuan smiled and handed water to Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming took the water, smiled, and said, "No, just her thoughts are a bit unconventional."


    "This child is like this, always having unique ideas. She doesn''t like to play with her classmates, saying they''re too childish."


    "Having mature and stable thoughts is not necessarily a bad thing," Jiang Siming said against his will.


    Even this girl is already thinking about incest and encouraging me to use force, yet she''s considered mature and stable in her thoughts.


    "Hopefully." Zhao Xuan sighed and sat down beside Jiang Siming. The two were very close, as if intentionally so.


    Only then did Jiang Siming remember that Zhao Xuan''s affection level for him was 90 points, and she was currently very fond of him.


    "Little Jiang." Zhao Xuan suddenly called out.


    Fortunately, reason gained a slight advantage. Remembering that they were still in the living room, Zhao Xuan gently pushed him away.


    "Go... go to my room... I''m afraid Xiaoxiao will see..." Zhao Xuan leaned against Jiang Siming''s shoulder and lazily said.


    As long as she''s not opposed to it, any request is acceptable.


    Jiang Siming got up from the sofa, effortlessly lifting Zhao Xuan into his arms.


    Feeling even more intoxicated, Zhao Xuan just relaxed in Jiang Siming''s embrace without moving.


    Usually disdainful of men and a powerful woman worth billions, at this moment, Zhao Xuan had no defenses against Jiang Siming. Instead, she was full of anticipation for him to take things further.


    "Oh no, maybe I''m inherently a slut..." Zhao Xuan''s oxygen-deprived brain thought dizzily.


    But then a stubborn thought crossed her mind¡ªEven if I''m a slut, I''ll only be this man''s slut. I belong to him, only to this man.


    Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan climbed onto Jiang Siming''s shoulder, planting gentle kisses on the prominent Adam''s apple in his neck.


    Driven to move faster by the burning sensations, Jiang Siming, with a few steps, went upstairs following Zhao Xuan''s guidance, arriving at her bedroom.


    Closing the door after entering, they quickly moved to the bed, seamlessly following the steps.


    The two clung to each other like magnets, tightly entwined.


    With a cry of pain, another night of loneliness passed for Jiang Siming as he once again took away the most precious thing from a woman.


    From this moment on, Zhao Xuan, who had been guarding her solitude, transformed from a seemingly young woman into a truly stunning married woman.


    Throughout the night, the swaying of the bed seemed to have never stopped, continuing until the moon set and the starlight dimmed. Only then did this ''battle'' come to an end.


    Both were covered in sweat, and Zhao Xuan was already exhausted. Jiang Siming had to carry her into the bathroom for a quick wash, almost unable to resist having another go with this ''enchantress''.


    Not long after Jiang Siming returned home the next day, someone arrived at his villa in a brand-new car.


    It was a blue Aston Martin DB11, with a market price of around 4 million.


    Compared to Jiang Siming''s Audi RS7, this car belonged to the true supercar series.


    With a deep blue body and dolphin-like curves, it resembled an elf from the underwater world. Jiang Siming had no resistance to such a beautiful car.

 Chapter 80: Not Playing the Practice Match

    A female secretary got off the car and respectfully handed the keys to Jiang Siming.


    "This is given to you by Manager Zhao. She said your car is still under repair, and this one is a little token from her. I''ll leave now."


    As soon as the secretary left, Jiang Siming circled around the Aston Martin and experienced it for a while.


    The handling and comfort were better than the RS7, but the downside was that it only had two seats. It would be great for picking up girls when driving alone, but the RS7 was more convenient for other times.


    The timing of receiving this car was perfect, as Jiang Siming was about to go to the recording studio to produce the complete version of "Luzhou Moon."


    It wasn''t that he was in a hurry, but everyone was urging him. Not only countless fans but also major music platforms were pressing Jiang Siming to release the full version.


    Even the executives at Douyu were persuaded by the fans and came to communicate with Jiang Siming.


    This song''s popularity was too high. Within a day, the video and audio versions of the song had accumulated over two million downloads, which was quite astonishing.


    This song was also highly praised by major music platforms, claiming it to be the most valuable successor to the Hua Xia Feng series after Jay Chou''s "Hua Xia Feng" in 2007.


    This was a big compliment, considering Jay Chou''s status as a king of pop music and a representative of the youth of the 80s and 90s.


    Jiang Siming felt fortunate to be nominated alongside Jay Chou, even if it was just for one song. Such an honor was not something any other singer could possess.


    At the same time, Jiang Siming couldn''t help but appreciate the charm of Xu Song.


    After spending two hours completing the full version of "Luzhou Moon" and uploading it online, Jiang Siming didn''t pay much attention to it.


    Releasing songs was just a small hobby for him, and his focus remained on PUBG. Only in this game could he continuously make himself stronger and more perfect.


    However, Jiang Siming didn''t have time to livestream today. There was an important training match for 4am scheduled by Weishen, and Jiang Siming had to go there.


    The training matches went smoothly. Jiang Siming effortlessly led 4am to win three chicken dinners in a row, with his kill count in each match exceeding ten.


    This was achieved by following Weishen''s advice to play steadily. Otherwise, if Jiang Siming played freely, his kill count might have doubled.


    What bothered Jiang Siming was that in these three training matches, he didn''t get a single fragment.


    At first, Jiang Siming thought there was a bug, so he quickly played a solo match and obtained a white submachine gun proficiency fragment after killing two players.


    It was then that Jiang Siming realized training matches didn''t drop fragments.


    Knowing this, Jiang Siming lost interest in training matches and preferred to directly play in competitions.


    They openly teased Jiang Siming, even in front of others, and Jiang Siming seemed to enjoy it.


    "Tsk tsk, have you already become ''brothers''?"


    "This is so much like love."


    "Love: Exactly, everything is so much like this!"


    "You two women, openly flirting with my husband. Did you ask for our consent?"


    "That''s right, our Ming God''s wife Tuantuan is the first one not to agree. You two are at most concubines!"


    To the teasing from the two women, Jiang Siming replied with an innocent look, "I don''t know what''s going on with them, and I dare not ask."


    "Haha, Little Ming, you''re using Douyin too."


    "Hoho, caught a Douyin fan!"


    The two girls laughed and joked. As for what the chat was saying, they chose to ignore it. They didn''t care; Little Ming was theirs.


    "Let''s play the game. I''ll carry you guys to victory!" Jiang Siming said.


    "Coming~"


    Just as the three were about to start the game, another woman entered the YY channel.


    "Ming God, I''m your fan. Can you three take me with you? I''m Dumb Little Sister''s best friend, but I''m really bad. I''m afraid I''ll drag you down."


    A woman suddenly appeared, and Jiang Siming was a bit puzzled. However, listening to the woman''s voice, Jiang Siming felt a bit indifferent.


    He could discern from the voice that it was deliberately made to sound delicate and gentle.


    The woman claimed to be Dumb Little Sister''s friend, but Dumb Little Sister didn''t show any signs of happiness.


    She introduced herself to Jiang Siming somewhat reluctantly, "This is also a streamer on our platform, named Gu Beining."


    "It''s Beining baby, right? Dumb Dumb, how could you pronounce my name wrong? Don''t do that next time. Otherwise, my dear brother Ming might think we''re not familiar. Hehe."


    The other person seemed quite familiar, and Jiang Siming checked her livestream channel. She was a level 95 streamer.

 Chapter 81: Here Comes a Green Tea

    Note: In colloquial Chinese slang, "Green Tea", can sometimes be used as a euphemism to refer to a person who is perceived as insincere, superficial, or opportunistic, especially in social or romantic relationships.


    Please Support this book with your power stones and reviews. Thank you!


    ---


    The livestream room is at level 95, which is already very high and belongs to the ranks of top anchors on Douyu.


    However, the other party is not a gaming anchor at all but a beauty anchor with just over seven hundred fan cards.


    With just over seven hundred fan cards, reaching level 95, it''s clear how it was achieved.


    Jiang Siming has over three hundred thousand fans but is still below level 98, several hundred times more than her.


    Ding ding~


    At this moment, Jiang Siming''s WeChat received a message from Dumb Little Sister.


    "Little Ming, I really don''t know this woman. We only met once at Douyu''s anniversary celebration last year. I don''t know why she followed my YY channel. How about I guide her out?"


    Not only Dumb Little Sister dislikes her, even the audience who knows Gu Beining in the livestream room is flooding the chat.


    "Damn, why is this woman here!"


    "Ming God, don''t be fooled. This is a schemer!"


    "Don''t take her with you. Clearly, she''s here to ride on your popularity."


    "Who is this person? Acting so familiar? Snatching Dumb Little Sister''s nickname for Ming God on their first meeting? Is this supposed to be best friends?"


    "Surface-level best friends are the most lethal."


    Jiang Siming quickly understood everything. It turned out to be a green tea trying to ride on her popularity.


    Jiang Siming replied to Dumb Little Sister, "No need, watch my performance. I''ll drive her away for you."


    Dumb Little Sister wanted to dissuade her after seeing the reply. She didn''t want Jiang Siming to offend another anchor, especially one backed by a management company.


    Generally, anchors with a management company background are not easy to provoke. A while ago, Xuxu Baby offended Money Xiaojia, an anchor with a massive management company background, and got into trouble.


    In the end, no one won, and they had to reconcile. However, Xuxu Baby actually suffered a loss, showing how powerful a management company can be.


    But before Dumb Little Sister could reply, Jiang Siming had already spoken.


    "What''s your name? Gu Beining?" Jiang Siming asked indifferently.


    "Yeah, Brother Ming remembered my name so quickly. I''m really happy~"


    "Oh, changing from the surname Liu to the surname Gu? Don''t even want to recognize your ancestors?" Jiang Siming''s words were like a sharp file, hitting right at the heart.


    "I didn''t mean that, Brother Ming... I just like this name. Well, let''s not talk about this topic, okay? How about playing games with me? If you play with me, I can show you the artistic photos I just took."


    Hearing this, Dumb Little Sister and Tuantuan were a bit angry. It was obvious she was trying to seduce their men!


    Jiang Siming, however, sneered and said, "Who said I would play games with you? Also, who cares to see your artistic photos? I don''t even care about artistic photos, let alone nude ones."


    "Jiang Siming, what do you mean!"


    Liu Genhua couldn''t hold back any longer. Anyone would find it unbearable to be humiliated like this.


    Upon hearing Liu Genhua''s outburst, instead of feeling remorse, Jiang Siming became even more pleased.


    "What? Can''t stand it anymore? If you can''t stand it, you can leave. I won''t say anything more." Jiang Siming shrugged.


    Liu Genhua, who couldn''t bear the humiliation, took a deep breath. She wouldn''t leave; after all, she had come all this way and being humiliated like this, leaving now would be admitting defeat.


    Suddenly, Liu Genhua''s crying voice came through the headphones.


    "Sob... I''m sorry, Brother Ming. It''s my fault. Although I don''t know why you dislike me so much, I''m sure there''s some misunderstanding. If you don''t like me, I''ll leave. But please don''t blame Dumb Dumb because of me.


    Dumb Dumb is a good person, she''s innocent. Sob..."


    Initially, when Jiang Siming urged Liu Genhua to leave, some viewers thought he was a bit too heartless. However, upon hearing this, many viewers gained insight.


    "This woman is cunning, really good at playing mind games. She can endure this level of humiliation."


    "Ming God has sharp insight, seeing through the true nature of this woman in an instant."


    "Being humiliated like this and still pretending to be wronged to speak up for someone else¡ªeither she''s really cunning or just plain stupid."


    "If it were me, I would have left long ago. She says she wants to leave, yet she''s still crying. Is it real or fake?"


    Jiang Siming chuckled. Hearing that she intended to drag Dumb Little Sister down with her, he decided not to hold back and went for the harshest move.


    "Do you know what you are in my eyes?"


    "Sob... Brother Ming, are you saying I''m a green tea bitch?"


    "At least you have some self-awareness," Jiang Siming replied candidly.


    "Brother Ming, why do you have such a big misunderstanding about me? Sob, I really don''t know what I did wrong. Sob."


    Jiang Siming retracted his hands from the keyboard and mouse, originally prepared to play games. He leaned back in his computer chair, looking relaxed. However, he delivered a classic statement that struck the hearts of green tea bitches everywhere¡ªthe ''Green Tea Definition''!

 Chapter 82: Definition of Green Tea!

    "I understand your type of woman," Jiang Siming started with a wave of understanding, then continued, "You opt for plain noodles, long straight hair, a soft voice, and you love drinking green tea."


    "Appearing simple and innocent, but actually, you''re adept at makeup, blending seamlessly between the human and the divine, mysterious and unpredictable. A touch of powder, a dab of rouge, concealing the exhaustion beneath your eyes, with the innocent gaze of peaceful years."


    At this point, the audience couldn''t help but applaud. He articulated it perfectly!


    But it wasn''t over yet; Jiang Siming continued.


    "You don''t drink much, but you get drunk quickly. And if there''s a man, even quicker."


    "You like to pretend to be naive, seemingly fresh-faced. Patient and kind, eyes brimming with tears."


    These words struck a chord with everyone, resonating deeply with men and women alike who had encountered such "green tea" types. They all exclaimed in agreement, "Well said! Absolutely perfect!"


    They had no idea how Liu Genhua''s expression was changing rapidly.


    Finally, Jiang Siming''s tone suddenly sharpened.


    "Now, in the middle of the night, in my livestream, you''ve come to the wrong place. Go out, turn left to find Ma Rong, turn right to find Ma Su. If you want to go, then go, don''t waste time. I''m getting anxious just looking at you."


    "You''ll regret this, Jiang Siming!" Liu Genhua, infuriated, uttered these words and left in frustration.


    Leaving behind a chorus of laughter from the audience, she was destined to be recorded as the backdrop to Jiang Siming''s classic "green tea" definition speech.


    "Finally got rid of that annoying fly, let''s start the game," Jiang Siming chuckled.


    Tuantuan laughed, "Little Ming, I didn''t expect you to be so ruthless towards girls."


    "It depends on who it is. I judge based on actions, not gender," Jiang Siming replied.


    However, Dumb Little Sister looked a bit worried, "Brother Ming, this person''s management company is quite powerful. I''m afraid you might get into trouble. It''s all my fault. If I hadn''t added this person as a friend, this wouldn''t have happened."


    "What''s it got to do with you? Even if their management company comes, so what? Are they going to send trolls after me? They''ll have to do better than that," Jiang Siming shrugged it off.


    Everyone agreed. Although Jiang Siming had only rebuffed two people so far, each time he left the other party speechless.


    Your journey continues on empire


    The first was Gucun, and the second was this Liu Genhua, haha.


    Hearing Jiang Siming''s response, Dumb Little Sister had no choice but to put her worries aside. The three of them resumed their enjoyable gaming session.


    But after playing for a while, Jiang Siming''s livestream chat suddenly filled up with many new accounts, all level one or two.


    But he had heard of Jiang Siming''s skill in hurling insults, and he knew there was no benefit in arguing with him.


    So, the Emperor decided not to continue the argument and instead issued a threat.


    "I won''t waste time bantering with you. Since you''ve offended people from my company, be prepared to face our wrath. I''ll create a hundred thousand fake accounts to flood your room, every day, to disgust you!"


    "Wow, you''re really rich," Jiang Siming chuckled. "But I think a hundred thousand fake accounts are too few. It lacks grandeur. Besides, there are too many viewers in my livestream. It would be better to create millions of them. Otherwise, you really won''t be able to keep up with my audience''s trolling."


    "Jiang Siming is right! Want to troll? I''m not afraid of you black powder water army!"


    "Your bastard of an economic company can go to hell! I''ll troll your company''s livestream with ten times the effort!"


    "Come on, there are over fourteen million people here. Let''s see how you can troll with just a hundred thousand water army soldiers."


    "Brothers, we''re not needed here. There are too many of us. Let''s go cause trouble in the livestreams of their company''s streamers!"


    "Yeah, let''s go! Especially don''t spare that green tea bitch! Let''s go!"


    Just as the viewers were about to leave, Jiang Siming stopped them.


    "Don''t act rashly, my friends. If you go over there to spam, you''ll be falling into their trap. Do these people have any shame? If you insult them, it''s as if you''re wasting your breath, and you''ll only be giving them more attention."


    "They came here with this mindset. How about this? Douyu won''t ignore the water army. I''ll go find the executives to deal with it, and his hundreds of thousands of water army soldiers will be wiped out."


    After Jiang Siming said this, many viewers who were about to leave obediently gave up their plans.


    After a brief discussion between Jiang Siming and Sun Youcai, something magical happened. All the water army and black powder comments disappeared from Jiang Siming''s livestream. Not a single insulting message remained.


    Only the dozen or so Emperors were left, dumbfounded.


    "Come on, keep going. However many fake accounts you create, I''ll make them disappear. Or, you emperors can start insulting too? I can easily report it, although you won''t get banned, but a few days of being muted should be manageable."


    Jiang Siming grinned mischievously, wearing a warm smile on his face, but to the other party, it was infuriating.


    "You''re feeling pleased with yourself, you son of a bitch! I''ll see how long you can stay proud!"


    "It depends on when you kick the bucket. Playing this kind of game every day with these public transport green tea bitches, you might die young. Rest assured, when the time comes, I''ll visit you at the funeral home and spit on your ashes."


    If you insulted dirty, Jiang Siming could insult even dirtier. If you insulted covertly, Jiang Siming could insult clearly and elegantly.


    In any case, Douyu''s atmosphere doesn''t care about cursing; if you want to curse, they''ll join in with you. Jiang Siming has never been one to willingly suffer losses."


    Not only that, but in Jiang Siming''s livestream, other emperors and nobles have also been consistently helping Jiang Siming counterattack.

 Chapter 83: Take Down a Brokerage Firm

    "These dozen or so accounts belong to a company called Tengfei Limited Network Company. Liu Genhua is one of their people, and none of them are good." - Emperor Adventurous Dream


    "They used to stir up trouble in the live streams of major anchors, and even wanted to recruit me. Bullshit!" - Emperor Big Monkey Fan Master


    "Douyu is now messed up because of these company guilds. I''m really annoyed by these kinds of people." - Emperor Dragon Knight, Dragon Roars Between Heaven and Earth


    "These people will be dealt with sooner or later, so don''t worry. They won''t be happy for long. Right now, other directors at Douyu are just concerned about their financial resources and the economic benefits they bring." - Emperor Douyu, Xuan


    "I''m familiar with Tengfei Limited Network Company. Their assets are only a few hundred million. They make a lot of money by supporting anchors. The chairman of the company is called Teng Yu, a total scumbag who likes to play with women. Most of the female anchors in their company have been played by him. A bunch of sluts open live broadcasts, and many losers give them gifts.


    I''m really disgusted." - Emperor Dragon Knight, Black Panther


    Hundreds of emperors stood up to support Jiang Siming, leaving no face for Tengfei Company. Even the emperors who had some relationship with them refused to speak.


    Suddenly, Tengfei Company became the target of public criticism, implicating their female anchors, who were thoroughly scrutinized.


    With so many wealthy emperors admitting it firsthand, the news that all the female anchors of Tengfei Company had been slept with by Teng Yu spread quickly.


    Soon, countless viewers rushed to the rooms of these female anchors, whether they were live or not, bombarding them with questions.


    "Were you slept with by Teng Yu?"


    "How many people in the company have slept with you?"


    "Slut, was it comfortable?"


    And so on, these chat messages were everywhere, and even banning couldn''t stop them.


    Many fans who had given gifts to these female anchors were extremely regretful, cursing themselves for being blind and giving money to these sluts.


    They either went to their live broadcast rooms or, if they had WeChat, cursed them directly.


    Then they tore up their fan cards and withdrew from these female anchors'' live broadcast rooms.


    The situation grew bigger and bigger, and many female anchors started reporting this to Tengfei.


    Teng Yu, the chairman, who was also the emperor of swearing, was dumbfounded. The finance department told him that they had lost several million in just a short time.


    The nobles and fans who had promised to shower gifts during the upcoming Douyu Fan Festival also went back on their word, saying they wouldn''t spend a penny anymore.


    Not to mention those fans who turned black from tearing up their fan cards. Including them, their company was losing even more miserably.


    Dumb Little Sister was afraid that things would escalate, especially since Liu Genhua only came because of her. If Jiang Siming got scolded, she would bear the main responsibility.


    Although Jiang Siming said he didn''t care about these things at all, and he didn''t suffer any losses.


    But Dumb Little Sister felt guilty and was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would stir things up again, so she went back to her own live broadcast room to stream alone.


    Tuantuan, seeing this, was considerate enough. Instead of enjoying time with Little Brother Ming alone, she went to comfort Dumb Little Sister.


    With Jiang Siming now alone, he didn''t mind. He just continued playing games as usual.


    However, Jiang Siming, who was already tired of the Asia server, didn''t plan to play on it for the time being.


    He''s almost at 6000 points on the Asia server, while the second place is barely 4500, and it takes a long time to find a solo match.


    Plus, players on each server have different playstyles. Jiang Siming wanted to learn some strategies from players in other countries. He heard that the North American server is known for its intense gun battles, so he decided to check it out.


    Equipped with a speed accelerator, Jiang Siming embarked on his journey to the NA server.


    "Little Ming wants to play on the NA server? Why not go to the Korean server and find those three Korean girls?"


    "I suggest not going to the NA server. The atmosphere there is bad, with some streamers specifically targeting foreigners, which is disgusting."


    "I''ve heard that too. My friend is studying in the US, and he often encounters NA players who intentionally kill their teammates. He doesn''t want to play anymore lately."


    "Let''s go to the Korean server instead, to see if those three Korean girls are online. We want to see!"


    Jiang Siming glanced at the barrage and replied, "The Korean server isn''t that fun, and none of the three girls you''re looking for are online, so let''s just go to the NA server. Maybe we''ll get lucky and run into gGod or Shroud."


    Although the probability of this happening is very low, the viewers didn''t believe it.


    But they couldn''t argue with Jiang Siming''s stubbornness. Not to mention them, even those emperor bosses are just talking nonsense in his eyes.


    Anyway, learning techniques is the same no matter which server you''re on. Watching Ming God slaughter NA players, isn''t it beautiful?


    Just as Jiang Siming was about to click on the game launcher, his pocket suddenly vibrated.


    There was only the game program tampering chip in his pocket. Jiang Siming quickly clicked ''ready'' and then took out the chip to see what was going on.


    Upon inspection, he realized that half a month had passed, and the chip''s function could be used again.

 Chapter 84: American Server Dedicated to Killing Foreigners

    Jiang Siming happily walked back, already thinking about which game to play tonight.


    Is it "Tianlong Babu" or "World of Warcraft," or perhaps "League Legend"? Anyway, as long as it''s a popular online game, just change the account and sell it casually, and you can easily make some money.


    Entering the game lobby, it''s the island map, where all the players are gathered on the birth island.


    Jiang Siming suddenly realized that he had unintentionally selected the four-player mode.


    Because he had played with a group called "Dumb and Tuantuan Team" before, and they played in the four-player mode, Jiang Siming didn''t change it, so it remained in four-player mode.


    Considering that quitting the game would result in a deduction of points, Jiang Siming decided to play a round of four-player mode.


    It''s just one round, maybe he''ll be matched with three Korean big-chested girls again.


    However, reality proved Jiang Siming wrong. It was three rough guys, speaking American English, unmistakably American.


    "Hey guys, where are you from?" the other side asked in English, sounding very friendly. It seemed they were a three-player team.


    "China," Jiang Siming answered, seeing no need to hide. "I''m Chinese, and I''m proud of it."


    "Wow! Chinese? Really? I love China so much! My dream is to travel to China!"


    Unexpectedly, upon hearing Jiang Siming''s reply, they were extremely excited and praised China endlessly.


    The other two also spoke similarly, all expressing that China is indeed a great place, with very friendly people, and so on.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    Naturally, Jiang Siming let his guard down. While not overly proud, he was friendly in his exchanges with these three.


    At this point, the audience discovered another skill of Jiang Siming''s!


    "Damn! Damn! Damn! Don''t ask me why I''m so incoherent, I don''t want to explain."


    "Ming God can speak English too! This accent, it''s totally British, perfect!"


    "Unlocking a new skill for Ming God, his English proficiency is off the charts!"


    At this moment, the three teammates who had always been enthusiastic, friendly, and kind burst into mocking laughter.


    "Ming God was careless, he didn''t expect the other side to suddenly attack."


    "This is the norm for duo or squad modes on the American server. Recently, there has been a surge of these streamers killing foreigners, with the most targeting Chinese players, and there are still many viewers."


    "Racial discrimination has always existed in America. These white-skinned people look down on anyone with a different skin color."


    "I really want to grab a machine gun and shoot these three bastards!"


    "Poor Ming God, he fell for it."


    The audience was indignant, but Jiang Siming remained silent, neither speaking nor quitting the game, just quietly watching the three Americans dancing and mocking around him.


    "This Chinese monkey hasn''t quit the game yet."


    "Hasn''t he been scared shitless by us? Hahaha."


    "Maybe he''s crying and looking for his mommy, hahaha."


    The three continued to laugh heartily, without a trace of guilt.


    Finally, Jiang Siming, who had remained silent, spoke up.


    "Three white pigs, well done, you''ve successfully pissed me off. Next time I''m matched with you, I''ll kill you like the dead bastards you are."


    Jiang Siming''s retaliatory voice was firm and resolute, interrupting the laughter of the three Americans.


    "Heh, little monkey, you better roll back to your Asian server."


    "You still want to be matched with us? I bet you don''t know how to die!"


    Jiang Siming didn''t waste any more words with them and quit the game directly.

 Chapter 85: Jiang Siming’s Fury!

    After returning to the lobby, Jiang Siming temporarily didn¡¯t start the game but took out the chip from his pocket again.


    [Game Program Modifier]: PUBG... Modifying... Please input specific modification program... In progress... Completed!


    This time, there was no account trading or duplicating equipment. Jiang Siming used this chip to change a trivial matchmaking mechanism.


    After making these adjustments, Jiang Siming clicked to start the game again, but he couldn¡¯t enter the game and was stuck in the lobby with the loading screen displayed.


    Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t in a hurry and patiently waited.


    Not long after, the game started again. The screen switched, entering the game lobby, still matching with four teammates


    The three of them didn¡¯t take it seriously. They thought that with three of them on their side, how could they be afraid of a Huaxia person? Three people, three guns, could definitely take him down.


    The only worry for Willis was that Jiang Siming wouldn¡¯t join them in jumping together, making it a bit difficult for them to kill him.


    Willis realized the mismatch and immediately wanted to pull his parachute to change direction, but before he could act, a bullet from a Kar98k hit him in the forehead.


    Willis fell from the sky, landing on the ground in a miserable state. Continue reading on empire


    As soon as Jiang Siming took out Willis, he immediately turned and shot another player in the sky.


    Although he only hit the body, Jiang Siming fired another shot, and the second teammate also fell from the sky.


    The two brothers died in exactly the same way.


    After taking out these two, there was still one teammate who had landed in the residential area. Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even bother to reload his bullets and headed straight for the opponent with his Kar98k.


    "Be careful, David, he¡¯s coming towards you."


    "Don¡¯t worry, I found an M4."


    "That¡¯s great. He only has a Kar98k, no helmet, no armor, and no bullets left, only two shots."


    "The Huaxia monkey is really confident. Haha, David, give him a heart-piercing shot."


    "Don¡¯t move, I¡¯ll pick him up and then kill him. Haha."


    But miraculously, it did.


    Upon re-entering the game, it was still the same three Americans.


    "Yes!" Willis saw this and instead of being afraid, he was very happy.


    Humiliated by Jiang Siming and then going back, they definitely wouldn¡¯t accept it. This time, they wanted Jiang Siming to taste the humiliation once again!


    No one spoke this time. Willis marked a spot, and he and his two teammates jumped there. Jiang Siming promptly followed.


    "Spread out a bit more this time. This guy knows how to parachute. Don¡¯t let him pick us off from the sky," Willis commanded, and the three of them dispersed to find weapons.


    Jiang Siming, landing quickly, picked up an AK and wasn¡¯t worried about not finding anyone. Their team emblem was right there.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t shoot anyone, just ran straight towards Willis.


    At this moment, Willis was still desperately searching for equipment. Seeing Jiang Siming¡¯s marker getting closer to him, he was scared and immediately fled.


    "Quick, come save me! This Huaxia monkey is coming for me! I don¡¯t have a gun!"


    "Don¡¯t worry, Willis, I have a gun."


    "Me too, we¡¯re coming right away."


    Hearing that his two teammates had guns, Willis felt relieved. With two against one, could Jiang Siming still survive?


    The two teammates, to cover for Willis, intercepted Jiang Siming together.


    Bang, bang, bang.


    Willis only heard the sound of gunfire, and both his teammates went down!


    "Fuck! This Huaxia monkey¡¯s aim is too accurate! Willis, come save us!"


    After taking down the two, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t pursue Willis but stood in front of the two Americans, dancing and taunting.

 Chapter 86: Mentally Collapsed

    "Willis, did you fucking pick up the gun? Come here and fight him!"


    "Damn monkey from Hua Xia, don¡¯t let me catch you, or I¡¯ll kill you!"


    Jiang Siming sneered, "Is that so? Can you guys even stand up from the ground? Can you kill me while kneeling?"


    "Fuck you! ****"


    The two couldn¡¯t argue with Jiang Siming, so they started to rant furiously.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t mind at all and said with a smile, "Your Willis seems like a coward. I¡¯ve been waiting for him for half a day, why hasn¡¯t he come yet? Could it be that you two are just his dogs? He doesn¡¯t even care about your lives."


    This psychological trick worked, and the two angry Americans started to blame Willis.


    "Willis, you son of a bitch, did you come or not!"


    "Willis, I¡¯ll fuck your mom, come over here!"


    Willis, who had been searching for weapons, wanted to explode in anger when he heard this but managed to restrain himself.


    After finally finding a rifle, he originally wanted to pick up a helmet for better odds, but his two teammates urged him on so much.


    And with the audience in his live stream also urging him, Willis had no choice but to give up that plan and go to rescue them.


    As soon as he saw Jiang Siming, Willis didn¡¯t even fire his gun; he just shot him in the head with one shot.


    "Willis, are you kidding me?" the two Americans were speechless.


    Willis, embarrassed, said fiercely, "Are you both blind? Can¡¯t you see that this asshole is cheating?"


    "Oh, he¡¯s cheating? Then why don¡¯t you report me and get me banned? How come I¡¯m still killing pigs in your American server? I specialize in killing white pigs like you."


    As he spoke, Jiang Siming pulled Willis up and then knocked him down again.


    "Fuck!!! Damn monkey from Hua Xia, I won¡¯t spare you!"


    "Being furious won¡¯t help you. After you¡¯ve done it, then talk. Before that, I want you to kneel to me a few more times."


    He helped Willis up again, only to knock him down once more.


    Willis was publicly humiliated time and time again by Jiang Siming, and his livestream audience had started to become dissatisfied.


    They came to see Willis slaughter foreigners to satisfy their vanity, not to see foreigners humiliate Willis. How could they stand for that?


    "Willis, what the hell are you doing? Kill this monkey from Hua Xia!"


    Willis informed the deputy manager of the matchmaking situation, but the deputy manager, after checking, gave him an unbelievable result: there was nothing wrong with the matchmaking mechanism.


    "There¡¯s definitely something wrong! We¡¯ve been matched with this Hua Xia monkey four or five times in a row! How can there be no problem?"


    "Willis, watch your tone! Don¡¯t vent your anger on me. If I say there¡¯s no problem, then there¡¯s no problem. If you don¡¯t believe it, go report it to the official! Click!"


    The deputy manager hung up on Willis, who stared blankly at the computer screen. He was killed by Jiang Siming again.


    A large number of viewers had already left his livestream, and his once thriving popularity was on the verge of collapse, plummeting from a high-rise to a flat ground.


    Willis felt angry, unwilling, ashamed, and various other emotions flooding his mind.


    If it weren¡¯t for still being live, he probably would have wanted to smash his computer.


    "Willis, how about we find other people to snipe him together?"


    At this moment, his teammate David came up with an idea.


    As soon as Willis heard this, his eyes lit up instantly!


    Since there was a bug in the matchmaking mechanism, they could keep getting matched with Jiang Siming.


    As long as they called other American streamers and players to join them and start the game together, there would be a high chance of matching with many familiar faces.


    Bring them over and snipe Jiang Siming together!


    As soon as this idea was put forward, Willis immediately started to prepare.


    He began to call other similar program streamers, a dozen or so in total.


    Even the initiator of this type of program, the leader of these program streamers, the former professional player, Bob.


    The trend of killing foreigners was started by him, and Bob not only had the strongest popularity among these program streamers, but also the best skills.


    Explore more at empire


    He had killed thousands of foreigners. Many American teenagers loved watching his program, and his soaring popularity had led other streamers to follow suit.


    Actually, not all Americans liked this kind of program; mainly, it was some naive teenagers or some racially discriminatory white people who watched it.


    Many Americans looked down on them and even protested against them, but there was nothing they could do. The other party ignored you, and the officials didn¡¯t care, so you were helpless.


    The first call Willis made was to Bob. As long as he was there, Willis believed there was no chance for Jiang Siming to survive!

 Chapter 87: Seeking Revenge?

    Bob heard about Willis¡¯s ordeal and immediately laughed mockingly, "Willis, you¡¯re supposed to be a mid-tier streamer, yet you can¡¯t even handle such a small matter. How pathetic."


    Although Willis was displeased, the other party was a big-shot streamer, and he didn¡¯t dare to provoke him. Besides, he still needed to ask for favors.


    "I can help you, but it¡¯ll cost you three thousand dollars," Bob demanded, starting with a high price.


    Three thousand dollars, that was the money he could earn from streaming in half a month.


    Streaming abroad was different from streaming domestically; apart from those big streamers, there were very few gift givers. Three thousand dollars was already a lot.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    Although Willis was reluctant, in order to regain his reputation and save his streaming popularity, he eventually agreed.


    "Hurry up and invite more people to help me surround and kill him!" Willis, who had paid three thousand dollars, was already impatient.


    He was afraid that if the matchmaking bug was fixed and they couldn¡¯t match with Jiang Siming, he would have nowhere to cry.


    "There¡¯s no need to involve others to kill this person. I alone am enough. Let one of your teammates invite me in," Bob said confidently.


    Willis kindly advised, "This Chinese guy is not easy to deal with. He¡¯s a sharpshooter. We¡¯d better bring more people."


    "Shameless! I said I¡¯m enough alone. If you don¡¯t trust me, don¡¯t come to me," Bob felt very unhappy about Willis¡¯s lack of trust in him.


    Willis had no choice but to comply and invited Bob into the team.


    Jiang Siming, who had been waiting in the loading screen for quite some time, was starting to get impatient.


    It had been over ten minutes, and they still hadn¡¯t entered the game. Had these three jerks already quit the game?


    "Since there¡¯s this matchmaking bug, let¡¯s give them three more minutes. If they don¡¯t start, we¡¯ll go back to playing on the Asian server," Jiang Siming said, fearing that the audience might become impatient.


    But the audience didn¡¯t agree.


    "It¡¯s okay, Ming God, we¡¯ll wait with you! We¡¯re willing to wait together with you!"


    "That¡¯s right, killing these three white pigs is so satisfying, much more interesting than playing with randoms."


    "Wait, wait, we must wait, let¡¯s wait another half an hour!"


    "We haven¡¯t seen enough of the slaughter yet, Ming God, you have to keep going after them!"


    "These three worthless pieces of trash! I¡¯ll give you my monthly bonus if you keep chasing them!"


    The audience was excited, evidently, these three Americans had angered them too.


    "Prepare to die, Chinese monkey!" Number 2 angrily shouted and then muted his microphone.


    Obviously, he was infuriated and planned to knock down Jiang Siming immediately and then retaliate with dirty words!


    The plane took off, and Willis marked an empty spot again and flew towards it.


    Jiang Siming naturally wasn¡¯t afraid and followed along.


    The four dispersed to different corners. Since Willis had informed them in advance, Number 2 knew that Jiang Siming parachuted quickly and didn¡¯t jump near him.


    The other two were also far away from Jiang Siming, so the idea of taking him down temporarily couldn¡¯t be realized.


    But this didn¡¯t matter to Jiang Siming.


    After searching a building, he found a crossbow and a spray gun, without any armor. Jiang Siming didn¡¯t care; he was proficient in crossbows.


    Although the crossbow had a short range, its damage at medium-short distances was as high as the AWM!


    In the hands of others, it was useless, but in Jiang Siming¡¯s hands, it was a weapon for medium-short distances!


    At this point, Bob was already heading towards Jiang Siming¡¯s direction.


    With great luck, he picked up an M24 with a 4x scope, level one helmet, level one armor, and an UMP submachine gun.


    With this equipment, Bob¡¯s confidence swelled; he had already marked Jiang Siming for death.


    Soon, Willis also found a rifle and came to reinforce.


    Bob, who arrived at the closest point first, hid by the corner of a wall, still quite far away.


    He set up the M24 and saw Jiang Siming still in the room, smiling brightly.


    Bang!


    A shot shattered the glass of Jiang Siming¡¯s room; this shot was just meant to scare him.


    "Bob, wait for us to come together, don¡¯t go solo," Willis was still a bit worried.


    But how could Bob listen? As a retired professional player, how could he easily ask for help?


    "I can handle him alone. You guys prepare big knives, pans, or Molotov cocktails. Let¡¯s humiliate him properly later," Bob laughed.

 Chapter 88: Kill the Body, Exterminate the Soul!

    At this moment, Jiang Siming¡¯s head poked out from the edge of the window.


    Bob, who had been staring, immediately fired a shot.


    But Jiang Siming had already dodged the bullet long ago, retracting back beforehand.


    Undeterred, Bob ejected the spent cartridge and continued to aim through the scope.


    However, just then, Jiang Siming¡¯s head popped out again, as if he had pulled a trigger, then retracted once more.


    With a barely audible sound, just as Bob was opening the scope, an arrow from a crossbow came flying towards him.


    Through the scope, the arrow pierced Bob¡¯s level one helmet with incredible precision!


    Bob fell to the ground instantly!


    Not even a level two helmet could withstand an arrow from a crossbow, let alone a level one.


    Bob was dumbfounded; he had never imagined he would be headshot killed by Jiang Siming using a crossbow!


    "WTF! I told you, don¡¯t fight him alone!" Willis scolded.


    "Stop fucking talking! Come and pull me up!" Bob, red-faced and frustrated, interrupted Willis, refusing to lose face.


    Willis had no choice but to shut up and go over to pull Bob up. However, on his way, he had to cross a road.


    Willis wasn¡¯t worried; the other party had a crossbow, but could they hit a moving target like him?


    Unconvinced, huh, great.


    Thunk!


    The sound of an arrow piercing flesh quickly rang out.


    Continue your journey on empire


    Willis collapsed in the middle of the road, an arrow sticking out of his head.


    "Fuck me! This guy¡¯s cheating!" Bob couldn¡¯t accept the fact and concluded that Jiang Siming was using hacks.


    Willis¡¯ face turned black with anger, furious. He cursed, "If he¡¯s cheating, I would¡¯ve banned his ass a long time ago! I told you not to confront him head-on! Could I have died here otherwise!"


    "Willis, do you have the guts to accuse me!" Bob couldn¡¯t conceal his anger, questioning Willis as if he would flip out if he dared to argue again.


    Willis sobered up, recalling the other¡¯s status in the live streaming community. He could only suppress his resentment and anger once again, telling their teammate David, "David, come and save us."


    "Coming!" David ran over, first helping Bob by the wall.


    At the same time, all three prayed that Jiang Siming wouldn¡¯t rush over.


    "Jiang God is awesome with this move, even if I have to climb the wall, I¡¯ll go give it a like!"


    "After you post it, brother, give us a link, we¡¯ll go upvote it for you!"


    "Hahaha, I can¡¯t wait to see those Americans looking frustrated and defeated."


    Once again parachuting down, Jiang Siming was really lucky, picking up another crossbow and an M16.


    This time Bob got smarter and didn¡¯t choose to directly confront Jiang Siming, but instead camped and waited for his teammates.


    Soon, Willis and David both arrived armed.


    "Let¡¯s rush the building! Charge together!" Bob didn¡¯t hesitate and charged forward, intending to team up with the other two to take down Jiang Siming.


    The Chinese audience watching was infuriated, cursing at their shamelessness. They had just said they would go toe-to-toe with Jiang Siming and turn him into a sieve.


    Jiang Siming, however, remained calm. He raised his hand and fired a crossbow bolt at Bob, who was the first to rush over!


    This time the shot missed, hitting Bob in the body, but crucially Bob didn¡¯t have any armor. The damage from the crossbow was the same as from an AWM, and hitting an unarmored body, one shot could be fatal!


    So, this time, Bob was once again lying on the ground.


    Willis and David were almost speechless.


    But at this point, they could only grit their teeth and continue attacking the building.


    Jiang Siming could have camped, but wanting to play differently, he picked up the only grenade he found in the room and decisively pulled the pin.


    After holding it for a moment, just as Willis and David were about to rush in through the door, he tossed the grenade into the room and then jumped out the window.


    The two rushing in were caught by the explosion of the grenade and fell down with a bang, ending up like a married couple paying respects to the heavens and earth.


    "Tsk tsk tsk, so bad." Jiang Siming clicked his tongue in disdain.


    Coming back to Bob again, before Jiang Siming could say anything, this guy had already quit the game.


    "If you can¡¯t handle it, is this the quality of you American server players who fish for kills?" Jiang Siming shook his head disdainfully.


    Unable to bear it, Willis and David, feeling emotionally numb, followed Bob and quit the game.


    The two of them were obviously, as we Chinese say, "autistic."


    After quitting the game, Bob didn¡¯t say anything and immediately started making phone calls.


    Seeing this, the flickering hope in Willis, who had almost gone into depression from being beaten by Jiang Siming, was rekindled, and he too started calling people like Bob.


    Efficiently, the two of them called over a hundred players and five or six streamers.

 Chapter 89: Give It All to Me, Kneel Down!

    "One by one, everyone who queues up will land with us. Watch my livestream, I won¡¯t have any delay. Trust me, listen to my commands. When the time comes, each of us will punch him until his head is smashed! Then we¡¯ll dance in front of him together, find a crowbar, and blow up his ass!"


    Bob commanded while revealing the impending sense of revenge.


    The three of them were afraid that Jiang Siming would log off impatiently, so they immediately started the game.


    After entering, seeing that Jiang Siming was still inside, they breathed a sigh of relief and began to count how many people were in line.


    After counting, Bob and Willis smiled. More than thirty of their players were matched in this game, plus two decent streamers.


    "Hahaha, this time, I¡¯ll make this Huaxia monkey tremble!"


    "This time, he¡¯ll die miserably, hahaha."


    The three regained their confidence, and their emotions became excited.


    It seemed that they had been so badly tortured by Jiang Siming that after seeing the dawn of revenge, they couldn¡¯t control themselves.


    Jiang Siming also noticed that many people were surrounding him in the lobby, ready to attack him.


    "It seems they¡¯ve called in reinforcements. No wonder they dare to start the game again," Jiang Siming chuckled, not afraid at all.


    "Oh my god, Ming God, there are so many people. Shouldn¡¯t we retreat?"


    "Yeah, how can we fight against so many people? Ming God, don¡¯t be impulsive. Let¡¯s retreat. It¡¯s disgusting."


    "Ming God, be careful, it¡¯s dangerous."


    "Damn it, so many people sniping at us, do they think there are no players from Huaxia?"


    "Compared to us in the Huaxia region, are there more people? Any brothers willing to snipe, come to me and sign up. Let¡¯s help Ming God together!"


    "I¡¯m in!"


    "+1"


    "+2"


    "+..."


    As the waiting time ended, the plane took off.


    "Huaxia monkey, are you feeling scared?" Willis was no longer silent.


    "With more than thirty people, I see where you can run. I¡¯ll give you a chance. Call me dad three times now, and maybe I¡¯ll spare you," Bob said with a eunuch-like face.


    Jiang Siming chuckled, and his tone suddenly became gentle as he asked Bob, "You know, in Huaxia, we have two letters that are especially suitable for you."


    Perhaps Bob was confused by Jiang Siming¡¯s ¡¯friendly¡¯ tone, and subconsciously asked, "Which two letters?"


    Jiang Siming¡¯s tone was particularly gentle, as he slowly pronounced each letter in a low and hoarse voice, "s....b"


    Sb? What¡¯s that?


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The fearless American players rushed forward, but they were destined to be easy targets for Jiang Siming.


    There was no need to move the mouse too far because they were almost all close together.


    Take down one, swiftly switch to the next target.


    The entire game suddenly seemed like a tower defense game, with Jiang Siming¡¯s "defense tower" constantly killing incoming enemies.


    With his senses heightened, Jiang Siming¡¯s shots were precise, often taking down a player with just two shots.


    When he finished firing a burst of bullets, nearly twenty people fell from the sky and knelt before Jiang Siming.


    "Hahaha!!! The biggest mistake you¡¯ve made in your lives is messing with me! All of you, kneel down!!!" Jiang Siming laughed wildly, raising his arms triumphantly.


    This scene deeply shocked everyone, including American viewers watching Bob and Willis¡¯s livestream.


    A fervor ignited in the hearts of the audience, an indescribable sense of blood boiling in their chests.


    The American viewers were covered in goosebumps.


    Alone, facing over thirty enemies, Jiang Siming swiftly slaughtered most of them, leaving the rest scrambling to flee.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s lonely figure standing with his gun against the backdrop of the kneeling enemies created a hauntingly powerful image!


    A line of poetry suddenly came to the minds of Chinese viewers.


    "Three million celestial swordsmen in the sky, even they must bow in my presence!"


    This line perfectly described Jiang Siming!


    The poetic violence of the game was interpreted to the extreme by Jiang Siming.


    The domineering Divine Ming!


    Invincible under heaven!


    Who dares to challenge me?


    For a moment, the audience went wild, showering gifts as if delaying for a second would be a great sin.


    Whether you¡¯re an emperor or a king, everyone contributed!


    Jiang Siming¡¯s livestream room level skyrocketed at a rocket-like speed, the experience bar constantly rising.


    Level 98...50%...70%...90%...99%!


    Level 99...20%...50%...80%...95%...100%!


    In less than two minutes, Jiang Siming¡¯s livestream room level officially broke through the one hundred level mark, becoming a newly minted level-maxed anchor on Douyu! Discover more content at empire

 Chapter 90: Intermediate-level Genetic Potion! (Bonus)

    The other streamers in their live rooms had no idea what was happening.


    Why were there suddenly so many red bullet comments floating across the entire platform, and they just kept popping up without stopping!


    Jiang Siming was clearly too busy killing people to notice that he had reached full level; he hadn¡¯t even glanced at the computer on the other side.


    There were still seven or eight umbrella bags left alive, each of them running to pick up guns.


    Jiang Siming also ran out of bullets, so he jumped down from the balcony, retrieved 30 rounds of 7.62 bullets, along with a level one helmet and level one armor.


    After a simple resupply, Jiang Siming opened the door and charged back onto the killing spree.


    His game was just that simple; either killing or on the road to killing...


    Only three or two fish left; they were no match for Jiang Siming.


    One by one, they were eliminated until only Willis, Bob, and David, three teammates, were left.


    The three of them had already fled, jumping into a river to commit suicide...


    The scene just now had completely shattered their courage, and any thought of resistance simply couldn¡¯t arise.


    Rather than being haunted by this devilish nightmare, they¡¯d rather end it themselves and be done with it.


    "This guy is a devil! A devil!" Bob decisively closed the game, even needing to roar a couple of times to boost his morale.


    Willis was the same; after exiting the game, his face was pale, and he sat paralyzed in his chair, staring blankly at the screen.


    Today¡¯s encounter had left an indelible shadow on them.


    Not to mention whether they had the courage to continue broadcasting.


    Even if they did, they probably wouldn¡¯t match up with strangers for a long time.


    Because as soon as they opened the game, all they could think of was Jiang Siming¡¯s shadow and that arrogant laughter.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t follow Bob and the others in quitting the game because there were several shiny fragments glowing at his feet!


    Red, gold, white, and even a purple piece!


    Feeling relaxed, Jiang Siming picked them up one by one.


    "Picked up [Five-star Viss Hotel at the intersection of Shanghai Minhang District] gold fragment*1 (2/3), fragment quantity not full, cannot be used temporarily."


    "Picked up [Smoke Grenade Immunity] white fragment*1 (2/2), fragment quantity full, can be used directly."


    If the basic level was already so awesome, what would the intermediate level be like? Just thinking about it made him anticipate it.


    Considering that he was still live streaming, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t take out the fragment for the time being; it remained in his mind.


    As long as he didn¡¯t choose to use it, these fragments would be stored in his mind.


    After picking up the fragments, Jiang Siming leisurely exited the game and continued to click start to see if he could match with Willis and the others again.


    But even after waiting for a while, he couldn¡¯t get into the game.


    Some viewers watching from the United States typed in the subtitles to tell Jiang Siming that both streamers had been kicked out of the game, and their live streams were even shut down.


    Seeing this message, Jiang Siming gave up on waiting further.


    When he was changing servers, Jiang Siming finally had the leisure to take a look at the computer next to him.


    "Oh my god!"


    Jiang Siming was speechless and somewhat stunned.


    "When did you guys level me up to level one hundred?"


    These guys kept quiet; they had leveled him up to level one hundred, and he wanted to be excited when he reached level one hundred himself.


    But now, after so much time had passed, what was there to be excited about?


    The audience found it amusing.


    "Hahaha, didn¡¯t expect that, did you?"


    "Surprised or not, expected or not, hehehe."


    "A certain streamer ignores gifts worth millions in his live room, extremely aloof."


    "The aloof deity is puzzled online."


    "These are the gifts we¡¯re sending you to vent our frustrations, deity, no need to be surprised~"


    Watching these barrage comments teasing him, Jiang Siming pretended to sneer and said, "Do you think I would care about your gifts... Bring it on!"


    The screen was instantly flooded with just two words: xx!


    Finally, after singing a couple of songs like "Luzhou Moon" and "Trotting Horse", the audience reluctantly let Jiang Siming go.


    With the permission of everyone, Jiang Siming immediately started a lightning-fast end to the broadcast, as if he were breaking a record again...

 Chapter 91: Immune to All Poisons, and Never Aging!

    After finishing the broadcast, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t say a word and ran to the bathroom.


    And filled the bathtub with water, took off his clothes, and comfortably lay down.


    Before this, Jiang Siming chose to use that piece of purple fragment, and he suddenly had a test tube of potion in his hand.


    The test tube was filled with purple liquid, and Jiang Siming remembered that the primary potion was also purple, but far less deep in color than this intermediate one.


    Checked the information.


    Intermediate Genetic Potion: Can stimulate human body functions to the limit, surpassing all normal human data, and the body¡¯s quality will reach the highest limit.


    At that time, this body will be immune to all poisons, free from all diseases, maintain youthful appearance, and have a lifespan of up to 150 years.


    Jiang Siming was ecstatic, this... this... this thing is too amazing!


    Surpassing all normal human data means it¡¯s no longer the previous 5% of humanity.


    And it¡¯s even immune to all poisons, free from all diseases, and never aging!


    How incredible is that? Who wouldn¡¯t want to be disease-free and never age? I can!


    The most valuable thing is that the lifespan can reach 150 years. Although Jiang Siming doesn¡¯t feel much about it now, it will be different when he gets older.


    For successful people, as they get older, their desire for time and lifespan becomes extremely eager, even Qin Shihuang couldn¡¯t avoid it.


    This kind of treasure, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even hesitate to swallow it in one gulp.


    The purple liquid entered Jiang Siming¡¯s body, like the River of a Hundred Confluences, warm and filling Jiang Siming¡¯s whole body.


    From Jiang Siming¡¯s skin, black viscous substance seeped out again, quickly turning the entire bathtub black.


    Jiang Siming immersed himself in the nurturing effect of this potion, gradually filling his body with strength, and becoming unprecedentedly powerful!


    After half an hour passed, Jiang Siming felt the warmth in his body disappear, knowing that the effect of the liquid had ended, and he jumped out of the bathtub.


    As soon as he jumped, Jiang Siming¡¯s head had an intimate encounter with the ceiling.


    With a thud.


    Jiang Siming fell back into the bathtub with a splash.


    "Ouch, my goodness," Jiang Siming held his head in pain.


    Thinking of what just happened, he just wanted to jump out of the bathtub with the same force as before, but he didn¡¯t expect to hit the ceiling...


    Ignoring the pain in his head, Jiang Siming immediately rinsed his body and drained the bathtub.


    He put on his clothes and ran out of the villa, into the backyard garden.


    But this was too eye-catching; Jiang Siming didn¡¯t want to be treated as a guinea pig for research, he preferred to live a peaceful life.


    Back in the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror, there wasn¡¯t much change.


    Except for gaining a few more centimeters in height, reaching one meter eighty-five.


    However, his body¡¯s contours became more perfect, like a piece of already finely crafted jade refined by someone, appearing even more crystal clear and flawless, like flawless white jade.


    This body, probably no woman could resist after seeing it, especially women with strong sexual desires, might even get nosebleeds just from looking.


    In a great mood, Jiang Siming left the house and drove straight to Zhao Xuan¡¯s place.


    By now, it was late at night, and Zhao Xiaoxiao had long fallen asleep.


    Zhao Xuan received Jiang Siming¡¯s call, delighted and with a pounding heart, she ran to open the door, secretly leading Jiang Siming into the bedroom.


    As soon as the door closed, the two embraced each other passionately. After Jiang Siming took off his clothes, Zhao Xuan stared at his body, completely mesmerized.


    Then she actively climbed onto Jiang Siming¡¯s body, her sensuous red lips kissing and nibbling on his chest, abdomen, and even lower areas...


    Just like a cat with catnip, intoxicated and passionate.


    In the end, Zhao Xuan¡¯s stamina gave out, signaling the end of the battle.


    Jiang Siming thoroughly enjoyed this time, as he hadn¡¯t moved at all throughout, and Zhao Xuan had taken care of him comfortably.


    After their intimate moment, they embraced and lay down.


    Jiang Siming still wanted to cause a little mischief, but suddenly, there was a knock on the bedroom door.


    "Mommy, I had a nightmare, I¡¯m scared to sleep alone, I want to sleep with you~" Zhao Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice came from outside the door, sounding distressed.


    This caused panic and confusion for the two adults, who hurriedly searched for their clothes to put on.


    "What should we do, should we tell her to go back?" Zhao Xuan, her face flushed red, said to Jiang Siming, her mind in turmoil.


    This situation was too embarrassing; after all, how could Zhao Xuan, a woman, handle such things?


    Moreover, Xiaoxiao was already in her teens, not a three-year-old child who could be easily fooled.


    As soon as she came in and saw her mommy and Uncle Jiang sleeping together, she would understand everything, wouldn¡¯t she?


    Read new chapters at empire


    "Let it be, the child is scared and won¡¯t dare to go back to sleep alone after having a nightmare, she¡¯ll find out sooner or later anyway." Jiang Siming was quite straightforward.


    Hearing this, Zhao Xuan thought about it and realized it made sense, so she reluctantly went to open the door, her face still red.

 Chapter 92: Official Action!

    Zhao Xiaoxiao, still half-asleep, tiptoed into the room, clutching a large stuffed toy in her arms. Without saying a word, she climbed onto the bed.


    Seeing Jiang Siming, she simply said, "Uncle Jiang, hello."


    Then, she obediently lay down in the middle of the bed and closed her eyes.


    Jiang Siming and Zhao Xuan exchanged a glance, feeling awkward and speechless.


    In the end, Jiang Siming was about to leave, but it was too late. Zhao Xuan couldn''t bear for Jiang Siming to drive in the middle of the night, so she decided to let him stay.


    After all, Zhao Xiaoxiao knew everything, and she didn''t mind Jiang Siming at all, so there was no need to hide anything.


    The two adults got into bed, one on each side, but they couldn''t cuddle together anymore, thanks to a little "third wheel" in between.


    After Zhao Xuan shyly moved away, she suddenly felt a strange sense of wonder.


    Jiang Siming slept next to them like a father figure. On many nights, Zhao Xuan had to sleep alone or occasionally with her daughter. There had never been a man in their home, except for Zhao Xiaoxiao''s grandparents, who would occasionally visit. But the real sense of security they provided was incomparable, something only the man before her could offer.


    Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan turned her head to look at Jiang Siming.


    To her surprise, she found that Xiaoxiao had already given up her beloved stuffed toy and turned to cuddle with Jiang Siming, sleeping peacefully by his side.


    This scene warmed Zhao Xuan''s heart. The fact that Zhao Xiaoxiao fully accepted Jiang Siming was both unexpected and a delightful surprise.


    With this in mind, Zhao Xuan couldn''t help but turn over and embrace her daughter. Like Xiaoxiao, she also wrapped her arm around Jiang Siming''s waist.


    Two pairs of pure white arms, one embracing love and the other embracing family affection.


    Of course, it seemed to be just temporary family affection...


    Because last night''s video of Jiang Siming''s battle in the American server had not only been edited into a video and uploaded to various websites in China but also spread to major websites in the United States.


    Google, Facebook, university forums, and more...


    In the video, Jiang Siming was deceived and insulted, then verbally humiliated by the American server anchor after falling to the ground.


    Just this clip alone made many Americans feel ashamed and indignant, especially many African Americans.


    As the video continued, a matchmaking bug caused Jiang Siming to be matched with these same people.


    A battle for revenge ensued!


    In the past, they would just curse a bit, but when Cai Xukun insulted basketball culture by playing basketball, he completely crossed the line, becoming an overnight pariah, despised by everyone.


    Everything has a limit. Once it''s crossed, it''s easy to explode.


    American audiences sympathize with Jiang Siming''s ordeal in the video and also harshly criticize the occurrence of such discriminatory behavior.


    With YouTube''s resistance, the PUBG US server faced immense pressure.


    They immediately took a diplomatic approach, banning all live broadcasts involving such behavior or involving broadcasters who had engaged in such behavior, permanently.


    They also began cracking down severely on discriminatory behavior in the game. Overnight, the environment on the PUBG US server became exceptionally good.


    Not just PUBG, all major game officials chose to take drastic measures to prevent further damage. Any trace of such behavior in their games was completely eradicated.


    For a while, racial discrimination was under considerable control. Although it couldn''t be completely eliminated, at least for the time being, no one dared to openly engage in it.


    However, this change, Jiang Siming, who is currently sleeping soundly with a beautiful mother-daughter pair in China, is unaware of it.


    Zhao Xiaoxiao didn''t know when she had crawled to Jiang Siming''s right side, nestling into his right arm and sleeping soundly.


    Zhao Xuan was on the left side of Jiang Siming, with the two mother and daughter pairs on either side, accompanying Jiang Siming to sleep until dawn...


    The next day, Zhao Xuan woke up and saw Jiang Siming and Zhao Xiaoxiao sleeping too ambiguously, so she wanted to take Xiaoxiao away, but the little girl didn''t want to.


    "Um... Mommy, I still want to sleep~"


    Zhao Xuan had no choice but to let them, this ''father-daughter'' pair, stay, and she went out to wash up and make breakfast.


    But as soon as Zhao Xuan left, the little girl opened her eyes, staring at Jiang Siming''s sleeping face intently.


    After watching for a long time, the little girl suddenly blushed a bit.


    She stealthily used her hair to tickle Jiang Siming''s ear.


    Startled awake, Jiang Siming opened his eyes and saw the little girl playing tricks on him, immediately tickling her.


    Zhao Xiaoxiao couldn''t help but giggle and squirm in Jiang Siming''s embrace. Accidentally, her little bottom bumped into something.


    "Uncle Jiang, you''re poking me there!"


    Jiang Siming felt embarrassed and immediately got up and slipped away.

 Chapter 93: Domestic League, Ming God Returns Home

    Time flies, and several days have passed.


    PUBG welcomes its annual global event, FGS!


    This year it''s renamed FGS, but its importance is just as significant as last year''s PCI.


    It''s like the League of Legends World Championship.


    Domestic leagues have already begun in various regions, and only the top three teams from each country can advance.


    Internal disputes are rife, with each team training rigorously every day, preparing to showcase their skills.


    PUBG competitions in this world are as highly regarded as League of Legends, due to the effective crackdown on cheating and excellent game planning.


    Moreover, Feng Xun spent a large sum of money to buy the latest intelligent FPS game perspective device, which can capture and replay gunfight content in real-time, analyzing subtle operations.


    The competition videos are very clear, with frame rates reaching their peak, allowing viewers to slow down and adjust their perspectives, feeling as if they are playing themselves.


    This excellent viewing experience has attracted many viewers who don''t even play PUBG to watch.


    So the number of viewers for PUBG competitions is very high, and PUBG fans can be found everywhere around the world.


    The domestic league in China is also in full swing.


    4am, OMG, WE, LGD, RNG...


    From these team names, you can see how popular PUBG is, with major professional League of Legends clubs establishing PUBG divisions.


    Last year, OMG won the world championship, bringing a much greater impact than the LOL division of OMG.


    Today, there are more teams and more experts.


    As soon as the competition started, 4am took the lead.


    But what surprised the audience was that Jiang Siming did not participate!


    Yes, this was Jiang Siming''s own decision, as well as 4am''s decision.


    The reason is that Jiang Siming has already demonstrated his strength in training matches. He can easily deal with the training matches of domestic teams without revealing more of his strength in the domestic league.


    It should be noted that there are the most Chinese teams, so the end time of the league is much later than that of other countries'' teams, which inevitably attracts more attention and research from other teams.


    To conceal their strength, 4am unanimously decided to keep Jiang Siming as a trump card and not to release him for the time being.


    And Jiang Siming also learned that after the league started, he would have to fly to London immediately, which might take a long time to have free time.


    He hasn''t been home for a long time. From last year''s Chinese New Year until now, he hasn''t seen his parents for half a year.


    The flight attendant was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Siming coughed before she reacted.


    "I''ll have a glass of juice, please."


    "Of course, sir, please wait."


    Blushing, the flight attendant hurried away, and soon returned with a glass of juice. Jiang Siming picked it up and found a small note attached to the bottom, with a phone number written on it.


    Jiang Siming understood and put the note in his pocket, and the flight attendant left joyfully.

    After four hours of flying, the plane arrived in Dali, Yunnan.


    Jiang Siming''s home is in a remote town, where there is no airport. He has to transfer twice by bus from Dali to get there.


    This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Siming rarely goes back home; it''s too far.


    But this time, Jiang Siming doesn''t plan to take the slow and stuffy bus back home.


    After arriving in Dali, Jiang Siming went straight to the 4S shop and bought a Land Rover Range Rover with a big gesture. This car was for his father.


    Jiang''s father has always had a driver''s license, and there is also an old delivery van in the family.


    But Jiang Siming knew that his father had always hoped that he would also have a private car. This time, he came back to fulfill his father''s wish.


    The Range Rover is spacious, with off-road capabilities, not afraid of the muddy roads in his hometown. It can comfortably seat four or five people, and its imposing appearance makes it the best choice for middle-aged men.


    He paid in full for the top configuration, totaling over two million yuan.


    Jiang Siming didn''t even blink when he bought it, and the salesperson excitedly called him "Brother Jiang," even though he was already in his thirties.


    Recently, with the Mercedes-Benz incident, 4S shops everywhere dare not overcharge, and the process of getting the car was very fast.


    In just two hours, Jiang Siming got the car registered and drove it out of the 4S shop.


    Instead of heading straight home, Jiang Siming drove to the most famous jewelry store in Dali and bought a jade bracelet worth one million yuan before leaving.


    Jiang Siming continued his extravagant shopping spree in various malls, buying designer clothes, bags, watches, and more.


    He also bought all kinds of snacks that his younger sister loves, all imported from abroad.


    In total, Jiang Siming spent nearly four million yuan, filling up the spacious trunk of the Range Rover.


    Satisfied with his purchases, Jiang Siming finally drove back home!

 Chapter 94: Nantian Town

    After a journey of three hours, Jiang Siming finally saw the small town of his hometown, which was the soil where he grew up.


    This small town is called Nantian Town, and it is said that the location of Nantian Gate is right above the town.


    The scenery of the small town is very good, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, with wisps of smoke rising, much better than the heavily commercialized areas of Dali and Lijiang.


    Experience tales with empire


    Perhaps it''s because of the good mountains and waters that Jiang Siming grew up to be a handsome guy.


    As the car drove into the town, although the town was remote and poor, the overall living standard was still there, with almost every household having a small Western-style building.


    There are also cement roads leading to the end in the town, but there are few households with cars, most of them are tractors used for farming.


    Only a few houses with tiled roofs occasionally have a car, but the most expensive ones are only Toyota and Huachen BMW.


    When Jiang Siming''s luxury car drove in, the people in the town all noticed. Every household stared at the car, and many people didn''t even know what brand of car it was.


    After the car turned a few corners in the town, it entered a small road. At the intersection, there was an old locust tree, under which a few old men were smoking dry tobacco and playing chess, occasionally shouting "checkmate"!


    The car stopped by the side of the road, and several old men looked up in surprise when they saw a young man coming out of the car, looking familiar but not recognizing him.


    "Grandpa, don''t you recognize your grandson?" Jiang Siming shouted.


    One of the old men in a vest slapped his thigh and laughed, "It''s Ah Ming!"


    This person is Jiang Siming''s own grandfather, Jiang Guoqiao.


    "Grandpa, how are you feeling?" Jiang Siming smiled and squatted down beside Jiang Guoqiao.


    Jiang Guoqiao patted Jiang Siming''s shoulder, looked left and right, and said, "Ah Ming, how did you grow so tall? You''ve changed so much that Grandpa didn''t even recognize you."


    "I''ve been eating well, and besides, boys in their twenties can still grow." Jiang Siming joked.


    Jiang Guoqiao smiled kindly and nodded approvingly, "Growing taller is good, growing taller is good. My grandson is really handsome, it''s easy to find a girl, haha."


    "So it''s Ah Ming, the boy is getting more and more handsome!"


    "Haha, I didn''t recognize you at first, but it turned out to be Ah Ming coming back."


    The other old men also started talking, and Jiang Siming greeted each grandfather one by one.


    "Oh, by the way, Ah Ming, weren''t you working in Shanghai? Why did you come back?" Jiang Guoqiao asked.


    "Oh, I''ve been idle lately, so I just wanted to come back and see, taste grandma and mom''s cooking. It''s been a long time since I''ve eaten their dishes." Jiang Siming smiled.


    Jiang Siming laughed and opened a small box in the trunk, where there were more than ten cigarettes, not only 1911, but also brands like He Tianxia, Qinghuaci, and Little Panda, everything one could think of.


    "Grandpa, I know you like these, so I prepared them for you. But these things should be kept at grandma''s place, otherwise, you''ll finish them in a few days. Smoking too much isn''t good." Jiang Siming grinned.


    Jiang Guoqiao burst into laughter happily, saying, "Alright, alright, just put them at your grandma''s place, but give grandpa a pack first."


    "Old Jiang, you''re really lucky. Your grandson is so filial. I''ll have to ask you for cigarettes in the future." One old man joked.


    "Go away, go away. These were bought by my grandson. Old Meng, if you want some, ask your granddaughter to buy them for you." Jiang Guoqiao resolutely refused.


    Jiang Siming knew that his grandfather loved these, so he bought quite a lot.


    "Grandpa, where are my parents and grandma?" Handing over the cigarettes, Jiang Siming asked.


    Jiang Guoqiao lit a cigarette with delight and said, "Your mother and grandma are peeling corn at home, and your father should still be in the fields."


    "What about my little sister?"


    "She hasn''t finished school yet, but she should be coming soon."


    "Then should I go find my father?"


    "I won''t go for now. Leave two packs of cigarettes here. I still have unfinished games to play." Jiang Guoqiao took a puff, squinted his eyes, and looked extremely satisfied.


    Jiang Siming laughed and knew that his grandfather wanted to stay here longer to listen to everyone''s admiration and praise, so he handed over the remaining pack of Yellow Crane Tower to him.


    Jiang Guoqiao cherished it like a treasure, putting it in his pocket as if he had found a treasure.


    After bidding farewell to the other old men, Jiang Siming started the car again and drove towards home.


    Leaving a group of old men praising and admiring Jiang Guoqiao, saying that the Jiang family had produced a successful person! Jiang Guoqiao was so pleased that he didn''t even get angry after losing several games of chess.


    Jiang Siming drove along the small road, with rice fields on both sides.


    Driving to a fertile field, Jiang Siming saw a middle-aged figure squatting in the mud, bending over to plant seedlings.


    Jiang Siming smirked mischievously, rolled down the car window, and honked twice.


    Honk honk~


    Hearing the noise, Jiang''s father looked up, saw a big car, didn''t think much, and lowered his head again.


    Honk honk~


    This time Jiang''s father was curious, he looked carefully from the car window, showed a moment of surprise, then grinned.

 Chapter 95: Jiang’s Father is Excited?

    "Little brat! Why are you back?" Jiang''s father dropped the seedlings in his hands and hurried ashore.


    Jiang Siming smiled and said, "I''m just back for the holidays to see you guys, Dad. Get in the car, I''ll take you for a ride!"


    "Did you buy this car?" Jiang''s father was shocked.


    "That''s right!"


    "You better be honest with me, don''t try to fool me," Jiang''s father said skeptically.


    Jiang Siming chuckled, "Dad, trust me, have I ever lied to you since I was little?"


    Upon hearing this, Jiang''s father realized that Jiang Siming had never lied to them before, so his son probably wouldn''t make up such a big thing.


    "Are you making money? Did you sell a few houses?" Jiang''s father''s face lit up with joy.


    "I didn''t sell any houses. I''m doing something else now. I''ll tell you the details when we get home tonight. It''s too troublesome to explain one by one here. Get in the car, Dad," Jiang Siming said.


    Jiang''s father really wanted to get in the car and experience it, but he looked at his clothes and his muddy feet, shook his head, and said, "I''ll walk back."


    "Just get in, it''s not a big deal," Jiang Siming urged.


    Jiang''s father, feeling helpless, went to the nearby stream to wash his feet carefully before cautiously getting into the car.


    "It''s so cool in here! Son, how much did this car cost?" The air conditioning in the car made Jiang''s father feel extremely comfortable.


    "Not much, just over two million," Jiang Siming replied nonchalantly.


    "What!" Jiang''s father was immediately taken aback, his voice louder than the music playing in the car.


    "It''s okay, Dad. Your son is making big money now. This car is for you," Jiang Siming quickly reached over and patted his father''s back.


    "What!" Jiang''s father exclaimed again.


    Jiang Siming couldn''t help but laugh bitterly and said, "I have a car in Shanghai. This one is for you."


    "But you shouldn''t buy such an expensive car. Two million, you could buy ten of Big Fat Jia''s BMWs. His is only over two hundred thousand!" Jiang''s father''s expression turned into one of scolding a prodigal son.


    The three-story flat-roofed building had a large courtyard outside. After all, in the countryside, if you had money, you could build whatever you wanted.


    In the courtyard, Jiang''s mother was sitting on a chair, shucking corn with Jiang''s grandmother. Explore hidden tales at empire


    Jiang''s father and Jiang Siming, in sync, honked the horn.


    Jiang''s mother paused, immediately recognizing Jiang''s father, surprised and angry, she yelled, "Jiang Shaoqing! Are you out of your mind? How dare you borrow someone else''s car to drive around? If you damage it, what will you use to compensate!"


    Jiang''s father, upon hearing this, took off his sunglasses, his gaze sharp, and said, "Who told you this is someone else''s car? This is my car!"


    "Your car? Are you dreaming? Did you lose your mind working in the field?" Jiang''s mother''s words were even sharper.


    "What nonsense! This is a car my son bought for me!" Jiang''s father''s lips curled, quite proud, just like Jiang Guoqiao.


    "Son?" Only then did Jiang''s mother notice there was another person in the passenger seat. She fixed her eyes on him and, the anger on her face instantly turning into a gentle smile, she exclaimed, "My precious son! Why did you come back?"


    Jiang''s grandmother also walked over, her face full of kindness, "My good grandson is back! Are you hungry? Have you been sitting in the car all day? Grandma will make you something delicious to eat."


    Jiang Siming got out of the car, hugged his mom first, and then his grandmother.


    "I''m not hungry yet. There''s plenty to eat in the car. Grandma, Mom, I just missed you. I came back to see you during the holidays."


    As Jiang Siming said this, his eyes moistened slightly.


    His family had always been his motivation to strive outside. Despite being poor, they were extremely happy. His parents, grandparents, they all loved him immensely.


    He remembered when he used to do poorly, not returning home for three years. Every time his grandmother and mother called to ask if he was coming back this year, they always got the same answer - he wouldn''t be able to.


    Although his grandmother and mother always said it was okay and asked him to take care and not work too hard, Jiang Siming knew they were very sad.


    So Jiang Siming wanted to come home so badly, not just to return in glory, but more importantly, to see his family.


    His father and grandfather were straightforward men, so Jiang Siming didn''t feel much from their words.


    But his grandmother and mother''s voices were always gentle and full of love, and just hearing them made Jiang Siming easily tear up.

 Chapter 96: Jiang Wanyuan, Plump and Round

    The family entered the house and sat down to chat, and the grandfather also returned.


    Jiang Siming honestly told them what he was currently doing.


    Upon hearing about playing games, live streaming, and gaming professionally, the three of them were somewhat incredulous.


    But when Jiang Siming showed them his bank card deposit information, they realized their child truly had potential.


    "Shaoqing, how many zeros are there on this? Jiang Guoqiao, wearing reading glasses, stared at the screen of his phone and counted the zeros.


    "Seven zeros, with two threes in front, more than thirty-three million." Father Jiang replied.


    After soloing with Gu Cun, Jiang Siming''s deposit reached twenty million.


    And after his live broadcast room reached full level and he received over ten million from gift money sharing, all of it went into Jiang Siming''s account.


    Plus the money he usually picked up, Jiang Siming having so much in his account was not surprising.


    For Father Jiang''s family, more than thirty-three million was completely beyond their comprehension.


    All they knew was that it was a lot, a lot, a lot of money, enough for the entire town to spend their whole lives and still not finish.


    "My son is truly capable! I''d like to see who in town would dare to say my son is useless!" Mother Jiang wiped her tears and said.


    Father Jiang stared at Jiang Siming, saying, "Even with so much money, you shouldn''t spend it recklessly. A car costs over two million, and all the money isn''t enough for your spending. I think you should just leave the money with me, and I''ll keep it for you."


    Before Jiang Siming could speak, Mother Jiang stood up with her hands on her hips.


    "Why should the money our son earns be kept by you? Besides, do you even know who the two million is for? It''s none of your business. It''s already hard enough for our son to earn money outside. What if there''s an emergency outside? You want him to leave the money with you so you can spend it on alcohol?


    You''re dreaming!"


    Father Jiang immediately wilted upon hearing this, no longer daring to argue with his wife.


    "If you think our son spends money too extravagantly, then let him return the car." Mother Jiang decisively put an end to the argument.


    Father Jiang immediately conceded without hesitation.


    "In the end, our son is the most capable. Son, what dish do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you tonight!" Mother Jiang said happily.


    "Pork knuckles in sauce, grilled pork belly with crispy rice, braised tofu, and Shanwei lobsters." Jiang Siming listed the names of the dishes.


    "You''re quite demanding. We''ll have to go out and buy the ingredients for these dishes. Why don''t you ask for a full banquet?" Father Jiang complained.


    "You chubby little thing, dare to mess around with your big brother? Do you think you can win?"


    Jiang Wanwan had always had a chubby face since she was a child, so Jiang Siming nicknamed her "Chubby."


    At first, she didn''t like it, but gradually got used to it and even became indifferent to it.


    "How did you grow so tall, Brother?" Jiang Wanwan looked up at Jiang Siming, her hands jumping up but unable to reach Jiang Siming''s face.


    "Jealous? You little shorty." Jiang Siming boasted.


    Unable to take advantage, Jiang Wanwan immediately complained to her grandfather, "Grandpa, Jiang Siming bullied me, wuwuwu~"


    "Don''t expect Grandpa to help you. First, report your recent test scores, and let''s see if you have the potential to go to college."


    "Don''t underestimate me! I''ve been in the top ten in the school in every test this year!" Jiang Wanwan proudly replied.


    "Just top ten and you''re showing off? I''ve attended the local middle school in town. What''s the use of being in the top ten? When I was your age, I ranked third in the whole school and barely got into Fudan University. Being in the top ten won''t get you into a prestigious university."


    "I admit I''m not as good as you in studying." Jiang Wanwan pouted, her brother had always been her role model in academics.


    "Admitting it means you need to work harder and correct your shortcomings. Do you still want to come to Shanghai to hang out with your brother? Let me tell you, your brother is doing very well in Shanghai now. If you can''t get into Shanghai, don''t blame me for not taking you there."


    "Really? How much do you make in Shanghai each month? Got a raise? Is it five thousand?" Jiang Wanwan asked curiously.


    "Five thousand? You''re underestimating your brother too much. Multiply that by a thousand."


    "Ha, you''re just bragging. No one believes it." Jiang Wanwan obviously didn''t believe it.


    "Wanwan, your brother is not bragging. He bought a car for your dad, worth over two million." Jiang Guoqiao spoke up for Jiang Siming.


    "Where''s the car? Why didn''t I see it?"


    "Your dad took it to buy groceries. You''ll see it when he comes back."


    "Really? You''re making big money now? Will you buy me delicious food?" Jiang Wanwan immediately thought about food, after all, "Chubby" was not a nickname Jiang Siming gave her for no reason.


    "The back seat is full of snacks imported from abroad." Jiang Siming smiled mysteriously.


    Jiang Wanwan was thrilled and ran off to the market to find her parents.


    Jiang Siming followed her, after all, they were not far from home and it wouldn''t be a problem to leave it unattended.

 Chapter 97: When the Family is Harmonious, All Affairs Prosper

    "Grandpa, I''m going to visit Uncle''s house to say hello and invite them over for dinner," Jiang Siming said to his grandfather.


    "Visiting is fine, but please don''t invite your uncle for dinner," Jiang Guoqiao''s face showed some displeasure.


    "What''s wrong?" Jiang Siming asked.


    "It''s about the house matter. Your uncle came to your dad last week asking for money again. When your dad refused, they had a quarrel, and now your uncle is sulking," Jiang Guoqiao sighed helplessly.


    "But didn''t I give my dad 100,000 yuan?" Jiang Siming was puzzled.


    "Your dad is afraid that you''ll need money again, so he''s keeping the money you gave him for now, not spending a penny, and definitely not giving any to your uncle," Jiang Guoqiao explained.


    Jiang Siming smiled and patted Jiang Guoqiao''s back, comforting him, "Grandpa, don''t worry, I''ll go invite Uncle''s family for dinner. We''re all family, there''s no need to ruin our relationship over such a small matter."


    "Sigh, that''s what I think too. A harmonious family leads to everything going smoothly," Jiang Guoqiao sighed.


    "Alright, I''ll go now."


    Jiang Siming picked up the cigarettes, alcohol, and a box of foreign milk that he had taken from the car earlier, and slung his bag over his shoulder, then hurried to his uncle''s house.


    His uncle''s family was just preparing dinner. When they saw Jiang Siming arrive, they greeted him warmly and inquired about his well-being.


    Both his uncle and aunt understood the situation. They knew that the argument between their generation had nothing to do with the younger generation.


    His uncle only had two daughters, both married and living elsewhere, so their home was quite empty, with only the two of them.


    Jiang Siming was the only child in the Jiang family, so his uncle had always been very fond of him since he was young.


    Sitting in the living room, Jiang Siming smiled and placed the gifts he had bought on the table.


    "Aming, you''ve come, there''s no need to bring gifts, you''re too polite!" His uncle scolded jokingly.


    Jiang Siming chuckled, "It''s been a long time since I''ve seen you and Auntie, I had to bring something over. It''s also my dad''s idea."


    Hearing that it was Jiang Shaoying''s idea, his uncle''s expression turned a little sour.


    Jiang Siming could see it, and his aunt nudged him gently, then changed the subject, "Aming, I''ve never seen these cigarettes and alcohol you bought before. How much did they cost?"


    "Oh, these cigarettes are 100 yuan per pack, and the alcohol is over 1,000 yuan per bottle," Jiang Siming honestly reported.


    This shocked the couple. His uncle was surprised at first, then his expression turned even uglier.


    Unable to hold back, he quietly asked Jiang Siming, "Aming, did your dad buy these? Can he afford them? Doesn''t that mean he can''t repay us?"


    His phone received a message, Jiang Siming picked it up and saw it was from Zhao Xuan, asking how he was at home, and there was another message from Wang Xinyi, sent in the afternoon, which Jiang Siming hadn''t noticed at the time.


    Jiang Siming replied to each one, saying he was doing well.


    Just as he was about to make a tender call to Wang Xinyi, his phone rang, it was from Wei Shen.


    "Hey Jiang, we''re in first place today, isn''t that awesome?" Wei Shen came over to share good news.


    Even without Jiang Siming''s assistance, 4am still remained a top-tier team.


    The first day they played against teams of varying skill levels, so it''s normal to come out on top.


    "It''s just the first day and you''re already getting carried away, I''m starting to suspect you''ll have flashbacks to S5." Jiang Siming joked.


    Wei Shen''s S5, that was his nightmare and shame, during the League of Legends S5 World Championship, Wei Shen led LGD as the number one seed to compete in the world.


    But unexpectedly, they were eliminated in the group stage and returned home in embarrassment, facing the anger of countless fans, Wei Shen reluctantly retired, leading to the Wei Shen of 4am today.


    "Go on, go on, go to hell! You open one pot, I''ll open another, come back and wait to die!" Wei Shen laughed and cursed.


    After chatting briefly with Jiang Siming, they hung up.


    Jiang Siming then fell into a deep sleep, feeling very content.


    On the third day, after Jiang Siming woke up, he found the biggest restaurant in town and generously booked it.


    In a few days, it would be Jiang''s father''s birthday, and his uncle''s birthday was also in these days, Jiang Siming planned to celebrate with a grand and lively birthday banquet for them.


    The banquets in town are generally cheap, with a hundred or so per table considered good, Jiang Siming gave the restaurant owner a hundred thousand dollars, which was just a deposit.


    He instructed them to arrange each table for over a thousand dollars, and it include cigarettes and alcohol, with cigarettes uniformly being Soft Zhonghua, two packs per person, and the alcohol being the best Wuliangye.


    Fifty tables were tentatively booked, and the whole village would be invited.


    After arranging everything, Jiang Siming returned home to tell his father, his father said it wasn''t necessary, but his face was beaming with joy.


    His uncle was the same, the two elders had never had a birthday celebration before.


    On the day of the celebration, almost the entire village came.


    Everyone was shocked by the grand banquet, with over a thousand dishes per table, plus Soft Zhonghua cigarettes and Wuliangye liquor, it was too impressive!

 Chapter 98: Can You Please Help Brother Jiang With Flirting

    After this birthday banquet, the Jiang family became famous overnight in Nantian Town, with everyone knowing about it!


    They also knew that the younger generation of the Jiang family had returned in glory, and every family envied them. No one dared to mock Jiang Siming anymore. Instead, they took him as the benchmark and role model for educating their children.


    After staying at home for four or five days, Jiang Siming couldn''t stay any longer.


    He asked his father to drive him to the airport. Before boarding the plane, Jiang Siming gave his father a bank card with five million in it.


    "Dad, our ancestral home should be more magnificent. You''ve always been worried that the place would be too small when I bring my future wife home, so I''m giving you this opportunity to make our home luxurious. Don''t worry about spending money."


    His father nodded, "With your words, I''ll feel reassured to make some improvements. Don''t worry, when you come back for the New Year, I''ll show you what a luxurious country mansion looks like!"


    "Hehe, then I''ll leave first. Oh, by the way, Uncle''s house seems a bit old. We shouldn''t only think about our own family. When you have time, let the renovation team help out there too. I''ll transfer money to you whenever it''s needed." Jiang Siming instructed.


    His father smiled, "Five million is enough to build fifty mansions in the countryside. It''s more than enough. You should hurry and board the plane. Be careful outside, your mom and grandma didn''t come because they were afraid of shedding tears."


    "Got it. If I have time after the New Year, I''ll take you both to Shanghai for a trip!"


    After bidding farewell to his father, Jiang Siming boarded the plane again and flew back to Shanghai.


    ...


    After staying at home for five days, the domestic league had already finished. 4am lived up to expectations and made it to the top three.


    However, their ranking wasn''t very impressive, with 4am struggling to secure the third position. The main reason was that the new recruits this year lacked synergy with Wang Duoyu, were not mature enough in terms of skills, and were prone to impulsiveness due to their youth.


    They often died under unclear circumstances, causing the team to become disjointed.


    Just like in League of Legends, the PUBG matches also heavily relied on pace. If your team was supposed to run to a poisonous spot, but suddenly one person got knocked down, you would have to go save them. Even if you didn''t, you would still lose a team member, making your team very passive.

    But fortunately, both Weishen and Aluca were experienced and led the team through many difficulties to secure the top three and earn tickets to London.


    However, there was some discontent among 4am fans because Jiang Siming had never played. They almost missed the opportunity to qualify, yet he didn''t come to help.


    Finally securing the tickets, 4am immediately announced that they would always live stream from the country, with Jiang Siming remaining in the starting lineup. ????


    This inevitably made some fans feel that it wasn''t fair and were dissatisfied. Why could Jiang Siming sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor?


    Of course, these grievances were only temporary.


    The scheduling for the matches was very tight. After finishing the domestic league, the global tournament in London would be held in two days.


    4am had to leave early to adapt to the environment there.


    Everyone''s passports had already been prepared in advance, and they boarded the plane bound for London.


    Then, surprisingly, she boldly leaned over and kissed Jiang Siming on the cheek before leaving.


    Jiang Siming glanced back at the resentful Duoyu, coughed twice, handed him the note, and pretended to fall asleep.


    It took a full twelve hours to fly from China to London, and everyone was indeed bored.


    Luckily, they brought a lot of game consoles and tablets. Some watched TV, some played games.


    After playing for seven or eight hours, all the 4am members fell asleep one after another.


    But Jiang Siming woke up at this time. While they were playing earlier, he had been asleep, but now that they were asleep, he was wide awake.


    He regretted not playing with them earlier; now he was bored to death.


    Jiang Siming complained in his heart, wondering why they went to sleep so early for no reason.


    Looking around, all the first-class passengers had already fallen asleep.


    At this moment, in the cabin for crew members, a familiar face was secretly waving at him.


    Wasn''t this the beautiful flight attendant with the perky butt from earlier?


    Jiang Siming wondered why she was looking for him. Coincidentally, he needed to go to the restroom, so he got up and went over.


    Unexpectedly, the flight attendant pulled him into the restroom and locked the door.


    "Do you want to try?" she asked.


    "Try what?"


    "Having sex with me on the plane." The flight attendant eagerly climbed onto Jiang Siming''s neck, her hot body twisting in his arms like a snake.


    Damn! Jiang Siming was a little dumbfounded. He never expected this flight attendant to be so proactive; she was much bolder than the flight attendants in China.


    When they flew to Yunnan before, the flight attendant only dared to give him a small note. This was impressive; she directly took him to the restroom to do it.


    Should he do it or not...


    Jiang Siming was conflicted.


    Seeing that Jiang Siming was somewhat indifferent, the blonde flight attendant said, "Do you think I''m dirty? Don''t worry, I''ve only had two boyfriends, and we''ve broken up. You''re the only man I''ve been interested in during my three years of being single."


    With that, the blonde flight attendant sniffed the nice male scent on Jiang Siming and seductively said, "Although I''m not a virgin, my backside hasn''t been touched by anyone. You can have it."


    Saying so, the blonde flight attendant took out a condom from her.

 Chapter 99: Arrival in London

    For over an hour, Jiang Siming finally came out of the restroom, looking quite satisfied from his expression.


    After he emerged, a blonde stewardess limped out quickly and disappeared into the cabin in the blink of an eye.


    Later, the plane arrived in London, and Wei Shen and the others woke up, taking their belongings and getting off the plane.


    Wang Duoyu, feeling somewhat unwilling, walked to the cabin door intending to bid farewell to the blonde beauty he had set his eyes on.


    But she ignored him, her alluring gaze entirely focused on Jiang Siming. Before parting, the sense of reluctance and attachment in her eyes caused Wang Duoyu''s heart to ache.


    "Let''s go, brother. Lao Jiang was right. Don''t look for him for these kinds of girl-chasing activities in the future," Wei Shen said, patting Wang Duoyu''s fragile shoulder earnestly.


    "Yeah, I won''t look for him even if I''m beaten to death!" Wang Duoyu expressed his agreement deeply.


    The group disembarked, and Jiang Siming also put that blonde beauty behind him.


    This was originally just a fling, a process of indulgence, and his heart didn''t budge an inch.


    After disembarking, a rented bus arranged by the club personnel in London sent the entire team to the hotel.


    London''s night scenery was beautiful. Everyone had already slept enough on the plane, so they chatted and lingered on the bus.


    Except for Jiang Siming, who slept again.


    "Lao Jiang, are you feeling unwell from the change in environment? Why have you been sleeping all the way?" Wei Shen didn''t know what Jiang Siming had been up to during the last few hours on the plane.


    "Oh, maybe a bit. I''ll be fine after a nap," Jiang Siming brushed it off.


    Meanwhile, at Seoul Airport in South Korea, two graceful figures each carried a small suitcase, preparing to board the plane.


    Both of them wore duckbill caps and masks and sunglasses, as if afraid of being recognized.


    "Zhixiao, Enhui unnie isn''t really coming?" Lin Yun''er asked.


    "Yeah, her company just picked up a new drama, and she''s in a meeting. She really doesn''t have time," Song Zhixiao replied.


    "Okay, then it''s just the two of us going."


    As soon as they mentioned going to London, Lin Yun''er was very happy.


    Not only could she relax and enjoy the trip, but she could also visit the Chinese netizen who once played games with her.


    Thinking that she would be able to see him in a couple of days, Lin Yun''er couldn''t help but feel a bit nervous.


    She was a well-known Korean actress, having seen countless scenes and fans, but this kind of nervousness was the first time it occurred, especially since it was her first time meeting an online friend.


    I wonder what that Chinese oppa looks like...


    Just as they were about to board, Song Zhixiao''s phone suddenly rang.


    "Hello? What? Right now? Okay okay, I''ll come over right away." Song Zhixiao hung up the phone.


    Lin Yun''er looked puzzled, sensing something bad.


    "Zhixiao unnie, what''s wrong?"


    With sleepy eyes and messy hair, he yawned and leaned in front of the phone camera.


    Jiang Siming had never done outdoor or mobile livestreaming before and thought it was the same as livestreaming with a computer, so he brought his face very close to the camera.


    Despite Jiang Siming looking very sleepy, his authentic appearance endeared him to the audience.


    Instead of being put off, the viewers cheered him on.


    "It''s the first time I''ve seen Ming God''s face up close like this. I just want to say, damn, he''s handsome!" Stay connected through empire


    "Why is Ming God so sleepy? Hahaha, so cute~"


    "My husband looks so good even when he''s not groomed. You jerks, don''t even think about it!"


    "Ming God''s husband is mine!"


    "Oh my god, seeing Ming God''s face, then looking at Wei Jiang, let''s not say anything. I''m afraid it will hurt the pig''s feelings."


    Wei Shen, who had been sneakily reading the barrage, saw it and was furious. If it weren''t for Jiang Siming pulling him back, he really wanted to sit with Wang Duoyu and the others.


    At this moment, a hotel waiter came over to ask the four of them what dishes they would like and handed them the menu.


    Wei Shen and his companions suddenly felt embarrassed. Damn, the menu was all in English, who the hell could understand it?


    So they pretended to carefully study the menu, keeping their heads down and refusing to lift them up, constantly flipping through the pages as if they could find a caterpillar crawling out of it.


    Jiang Siming, on the other hand, was very casual. He glanced at the menu and said to the waiter, "I''ll have a berry pancake, Benedict eggs, pancakes with duck meat, and also some honey butter and a cup of coffee."


    With a perfect London accent, the waiter was amazed.


    When it was Wei Shen and his friends'' turn, the three of them were hesitant and didn''t know what to say.


    The audience burst into laughter.


    "Hahaha, they didn''t study well when they were young, now they''re in London and can''t even speak."


    "All three of them are illiterate, who''s more embarrassed!"


    "I''m laughing so hard. Without comparison, it''s fine, but as soon as Ming God speaks, they feel embarrassed, hahaha."


    "Wei Shen: Give me two pounds of pork belly!"


    "Wei Jiang must be regretting it now. He should have studied harder back then."


    ...


    Jiang Siming knew they couldn''t speak English, so he kindly ordered something for each of them.


    "I ordered something else for you guys. If it''s not good, don''t blame me," Jiang Siming laughed.


    "No, no," Wei Shen and the others quickly waved their hands.


    Before they could thank Jiang Siming for helping them out, they realized that whether the food tasted good or not was more important than saving face!

 Chapter 100: A Barely Satisfactory OMG

    On the second day, the remaining two teams, 17 and OMG, arrived in London one after another.


    Located in the city of London, NetFish Internet Cafe provided free training facilities for the three teams, offering them VIP treatment with private rooms.


    However, during training, many Chinese fans from London rushed over. Some were fans of 4am, some were fans of Weishen, but the majority were fans of Jiang Siming.


    This was because a few days ago, a video of Jiang Siming slaughtering those disgusting streamers on the US server had already been uploaded to British websites, attracting a wave of foreign fans to Jiang Siming.


    Moreover, many female fans came over as well, making Weishen and the others envy Jiang Siming.


    Although they couldn''t disturb them during training in their private rooms, these fans had made a difficult trip, and they completely blocked the area outside the private rooms.


    After training, Jiang Siming and Weishen suspended their training and went out to meet the fans.


    The two of them acted separately, each giving autographs and taking photos with fans.


    However, Weishen felt a bit sour because all the female fans went to Jiang Siming''s side, leaving him with only male fans, not even a chubby girl.


    On the other side of the private room, Xiao Shizi kept signing autographs for the fans and even stopped training, saying he would take the fans out for a meal.


    Seeing him being surrounded by fans with a happy smile on his face, Jiang Siming couldn''t help but worry about him.


    Because when he was back in his hometown, Weishen had mentioned that OMG never participated in training matches. Instead, they livestreamed every day, playing with random players and chatting with girls.


    Looking at his somewhat arrogant expression now, Jiang Siming speculated that he might be slacking off.


    This was also human nature. It was easy to gain honor, but it was difficult to maintain it without being lost in the honor and praise.


    He was very much like Weishen back then, winning many championships even before the start of Season 5, but he already had an arrogant attitude, even thinking about which championship skin he wanted in the country.


    After Season 5 started, Weishen received a wake-up call, so now he had become even stronger and more humble than before.


    Jiang Siming didn''t say anything about Xiao Shizi''s behavior, he turned around and went back to the room to continue practicing with his teammates.


    They only had one day for training, and the next day the competition began.


    The competition lasted for a total of six days, with three days of group stage, one day of elimination, and two days of finals.


    The schedule was extremely tight, with no free days in between. Unless your group directly made it to the top eight without playing the elimination round, you would have a day off. R


    The tight schedule was also considered by the organizers to keep the players continuously engaged, maintaining their feel and facilitating their performance.


    Apart from OMG''s perplexing performance, the other teams performed quite well.


    The 17 team, making their debut in the global tournament, showed great courage. Although they didn''t win a chicken dinner, they managed to break into the top ten every time and got many kills.


    They ranked third in points.


    In addition, the other national teams were also very strong.


    The strongest were the European teams, and the North American STK, TS, Liquid.


    These three top esports powerhouses performed remarkably, occupying the first, fourth, and fifth positions! Very high rankings.


    The Korean teams were equally strong, with AFF, RGS, VSG, ranking high as well, with AFF even taking the second position.


    Other national teams were relatively weaker, such as Thailand''s AG, France''s Enry, Malaysia''s INC, and so on.


    There were even teams from the Hong Kong and Macau region, AHQ and MP5, which showed mediocre performance for now.


    But overall, this World Championship could be said to have no weak teams, the difficulty was beyond imagination.


    Weishen also expressed great pressure. Although his 4am team had won the PCI championship, it was in TPP mode.


    TPP had been canceled after this year, and their strength in FPP was not stronger than any of the top ten teams. Of course, they couldn''t be considered weak, but it was difficult.


    After returning to the hotel, the club coach called an emergency meeting to discuss the strategy for the next day, emphasizing the need for stability.


    This made Jiang Siming hesitate. They hadn''t even played in the domestic league, and they had missed plenty of opportunities to collect fragments.


    Now, in this World Championship with a higher burst rate, they actually had to play conservatively?


    Jiang Siming refused to accept it, saying that he would decide based on the situation at that time. He would not hesitate to kill.


    One day flew by, and in the afternoon of the second day, the competition between Groups B and C was about to begin, and it was 4am''s time to shine.


    One hour ahead of time, everyone had already finished tuning their equipment.


    Each team had four computers, spaced quite far apart, and there was a referee watching behind each team.


    This was Jiang Siming''s first team match, and it was right into this kind of world league competition, facing off against top players from around the world. Jiang Siming wasn''t nervous at all; instead, he was itching to showcase his skills.

 Chapter 101: Just Came and Already Fierce!

    The venue was packed with spectators, eagerly awaiting the start of the event, and this time there were live spectators in attendance.


    In a small corner of the audience, a girl wearing a duckbill cap and a mask was constantly searching for the names of each team.


    When she spotted the emblem of the 4am team, she nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, her beautiful eyes fixed on that direction.


    But the emblem was already obscured from view, and she couldn''t see anything even if she wanted to, besides, she might not even know who he was even if she did.


    "I guess Oppa can be a professional player, he shouldn''t be too old. When I look at the main screen later, maybe the host will mention his name. He''s so amazing, he''s bound to make many impressive plays. Then I''ll know who he is~"


    Thinking this, Lin Yuner not only gave herself a mental pat on the back but also thought, Yuner is really smart~


    At this moment, millions of viewers from both domestic and international audiences were glued to this event. It was already nighttime in China, but countless people were still glued to their computers or phones watching the live stream.


    "Hurry up, I have to go to work tomorrow."


    "Please, OMG, perform better today, if you don''t play well today, you might as well come back early."


    "Today, my 4am is setting sail! It''s the debut match of the Ming God team!"


    "Huh, it''s their first time playing in the World Championship. I bet they''ll be noobs. It would be good enough if they don''t embarrass themselves."


    "The guy upstairs must have eaten too much rice. His brain is full of nonsense. Let''s just ignore him."


    "17 performed really well yesterday, let''s continue to cheer for them today and strive to advance to the quarterfinals!"


    "What was the Little Lion doing yesterday? He wasted so many opportunities. I hope he won''t disappoint us today."


    ...


    Not only the audience, but the domestic commentators were also enthusiastically cheering for their respective teams.


    "I''m rooting for Team 17. They performed exceptionally well yesterday, and I hope they can keep up the momentum today. I am commentator Cheng Hui."


    "I support Team OMG. I believe that yesterday''s performance was just a matter of adjustment. They will surely make a comeback today. But I also like the 4am team. I am commentator Little Bear."


    "I don''t need to say, I support 4am. This is Ming God''s first World Championship, and also his first team match debut. I believe that with Ming God, 4am will definitely soar to new heights and dominate the competition! I am commentator Qian Yi."


    The three commentators each had their own opinions and perspectives. Of course, regardless of which team performs well, they will all congratulate them sincerely.


    Amidst the anticipation of the crowd, the first match of the group stage officially began!


    The plane took off, carrying a total of sixteen top teams, with 64 players boarding the plane to the island map.


    There were only two types of maps for the competition, the island and the desert.


    "4am and RGS are both fighting for control of the school spot. A big battle is inevitable. However, I think 4am, who showed impressive performance against the Malaysian powerhouse team AW1 yesterday, is too impulsive. The outcome is unpredictable." Commentator Cheng Hui somewhat blamed 4am for being too impulsive.


    Of course, many people agreed with his statement. After all, engaging in a firefight right from the start would be a disadvantageous move, especially if they lost a member.


    Because most teams had four members, while you would have only three, putting you at a significant disadvantage.


    But obviously, saying this now was useless; this was already the result, and a bloody battle was inevitable!


    Eight parachutes rapidly descended. Although they were all top experts, Jiang Siming still jumped out of the plane two or three seconds faster than them.


    He landed early, precisely on top of a UMP9 submachine gun.


    Jiang Siming picked it up, loaded it, and began his first massacre as the four Malaysian players had just landed.


    Bang bang bang...


    Although the 9mm bullet damage was low, it still became a nightmare for the four Malaysian players.


    Two of them were instantly knocked down!


    "Why did this guy land so fast!"


    "I had just landed, and he had already loaded his gun. Isn''t that too exaggerated?"


    "Hurry, hurry, run downstairs!"


    AW1 was in chaos, and they all desperately ran downstairs, ignoring the guns on the roof.


    "Nice! Old Jiang did a great job!" Wei Shen was delighted. With Jiang Siming''s early clearance, they could safely land on the roof and find guns.


    Jiang Siming didn''t say a word and chased after the two escaped enemies downstairs.


    "Old Jiang, wait for us, don''t be too hasty."


    Wei Shen wanted to stop Jiang Siming. He was afraid that if Jiang Siming was focused down by the enemy, they would definitely retaliate. By then, they would lose a valuable member.


    But Jiang Siming still didn''t respond. Wei Shen could only follow closely with a shotgun. But before he could even get there, Jiang Siming had already easily taken down the two enemies.


    In less than ten seconds, he wiped out a team.


    Wei Shen was stunned, swallowed hard, and finally said nothing, continuing to search for equipment.


    He seemed to see Jiang Siming being just as unreasonable during the Strongest Streamer Competition.

 Chapter 102: Record for the Farthest Distance Kill

    The domestic audience was already boiling with excitement.


    Commentator Cheng Hui, in a very manly manner, made a self-critique: "I was wrong, I shouldn''t have criticized 4AM for being impatient. I forgot one of Ming God''s specialties, his parachuting speed is always faster than others."


    Qian Yi, with a smile on his face, agreed wholeheartedly, saying: "Before 4AM didn''t let Ming God participate in domestic leagues, just to hide their strength, AW didn''t expect this, they suffered a big loss, they gave it away for nothing."


    "4AM started with four points, this is a very good sign. Look! Let''s replay the scene just now!" Xiao Xiong said.


    In the capture of the intelligent FPS game perspective device, it was clear to see Ming God quickly landing and picking up guns, aiming and shooting to kill the two on the roof.


    Immediately afterwards, without stopping for a moment, he ran downstairs to chase the other two remaining enemies. One of them had already picked up an AK at that time, but he couldn''t escape from Jiang Siming''s UMP9 bullets, he had just raised his gun and took three 9mm bullets.


    The audience couldn''t help but admire Ming God''s boldness and skill. This is the World Championship, but Ming God is acting like it''s a casual match...


    Although there were some concerns, at least nothing had happened yet, and 4AM easily scored four points, which was good news for the fans.


    After killing this team of players, two pieces of fragments burst out for Jiang Siming! One white and one green.


    "Picked up [Flashbang Evasion] White Fragment *1 (1/1), fragment quantity full, can be used directly."


    "Picked up [Micro-Operation Talent] Green Fragment *1 (1/2), fragment quantity not full, cannot be used temporarily."


    Beautiful! Just killed four people and got two pieces of fragments, and these fragments are very practical, especially the green one.


    Micro-operation talent, micro-operation, is a term in esports.


    It generally refers to making the most accurate and reasonable operations in an extremely short time, which requires the flexibility of the fingers to reach the highest level.


    It can greatly improve hand speed while minimizing the rate of game errors.


    Why do gamers need to practice their hands, especially in FPS games, which focus more on touch, in order to familiarize themselves with their touch and operations.


    If he gets this talent, Jiang Siming can keep himself in peak condition at any time.


    This is also a big help for him.


    After searching the school district for houses, the safe zone had already appeared, and luckily, 4AM was in the central area.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    At this time, a plane flew by and dropped a supply box.


    Xiao Xing immediately went to pick it up, and inside was an 8x scope AWM!


    "For Lao Jiang." Without hesitation, Wei Shen ordered.


    Although we can''t see the chat in China, it''s not hard to imagine what the audience is saying.


    Suddenly, the atmosphere within the team became serious.


    In the long wait, Jiang Siming finally saw a living person through his 8x scope!


    This was a player from the back mountain of R City, who was currently relocating. Jiang Siming only saw him alone for the time being, probably scouting.


    This person went into the second floor of the watchtower on the mountaintop, constantly searching for information through the window and feeding it back to the team.


    Jiang Siming looked and saw that the opponent was a full seven hundred meters away! At this distance, he couldn''t guarantee a hit.


    But since he rarely encountered living enemies, he couldn''t just let him discover their position.


    Jiang Siming aimed through his scope, slowly adjusting the elevation and precision of his aim.


    This scene happened to be captured by the omnipotent perspective, and the commentary from the PUBG official was very relaxed.


    "This person is probably just pretending, afraid to shoot. Once missed, it would expose their position and not be worth the risk."


    "Yeah, besides, it''s impossible to hit from seven hundred and thirty meters away. If this distance could hit, I... Oh my god! He hit! A headshot in one shot!!!"


    The whole venue erupted into exclamations because of Jiang Siming''s bullet, "Oh!!!"


    Especially the Chinese audience, who cheered excitedly.


    The director replayed it three times in a row!


    At a distance of seven hundred and thirty meters, Jiang Siming''s shot knocked down the opponent''s head!


    This was a record, a record in the official PUBG competition. The previous record was set by the captain of Team Liquid, with a distance of 600 meters.


    Moreover, it was a consecutive sniper shot. The opponent was unable to move or take cover while running in the toxic gas, and Jiang Siming shot him dead with a whole burst of bullets.


    Now this record has been broken, and a new record has been born.


    "We congratulate 4AM_ming for breaking a record in our competition in the first game. So far, he has single-handedly scored 5 points for 4AM. This brave warrior from Huaxia." The commentator praised passionately.


    In the audience, Lin Yun''er smiled happily and applauded along with the Chinese audience.


    Your next chapter is on empire


    "It''s him!" Lin Yun''er seemed to have found her way home like a lost lamb, extremely happy.

 Chapter 103: Key Figure!

    Jiang Siming''s move startled his teammates, thinking someone was approaching.


    However, once they understood the situation, they were both shocked and delighted.


    Before they could offer their congratulations, Wei Shen had already decided to drive over to set up an ambush. Explore hidden tales at empire


    With the enemy personnel down, reinforcements were sure to arrive. But with their numerical advantage of four against three, and with proper tactics, they could easily take down another team!


    Perhaps Wei Shen himself didn''t even realize that because of Jiang Siming''s maneuvers, he had disregarded the coach''s advice from last night...


    Steady... we should prioritize steadiness... to hell with steadiness... I want points!


    The vehicles hidden in the school district all came out at once, with Jiang Siming leading the way on a motorcycle.


    When he reached the mountaintop watchtower, the enemy reinforcements had just arrived!


    Wei Shen, trailing behind, muttered to himself that their car wasn''t as fast as Jiang Siming''s; they were still behind.


    "Old Jiang, take cover for now, don''t engage them head-on," Wei Shen shouted.


    Jiang Siming wasn''t foolish; he wouldn''t take such a big risk, especially since his position lacked cover.


    He immediately hopped back on his motorcycle, made a turn, and disappeared from the sight of the three enemies.


    The trio fired a volley, but Jiang Siming''s driving skills were exceptional, dodging left and right, only getting hit by one shot.


    Instead, Jiang Siming reached a high point about a hundred meters away. With his AWM in hand, he swiftly took down one enemy with a quick scope shot, without even opening the scope.


    As one enemy''s head exploded, he fell to the ground instantly!


    Without bothering to reload, Jiang Siming slung the AWM over his back and pulled out his 4x AK. He swept the area below the hill, turning the 4x scope into a deadly instrument.


    Although there was cover nearby, the enemy couldn''t move more than a few steps before being shot down.


    At this moment, Wei Shen, who had come to reinforce, effortlessly took down the last remaining enemy.


    This battle ended as soon as it began when the god''s view swept over...


    Many people didn''t know what had happened until the replay came, then they understood everything.


    "It''s him again! It''s Ming! Oh my god! Such a strong player! A tiger from China! He has once again wiped out a team, this time it''s AG from Thailand!"


    The foreign commentator practically spat with excitement, his neck veins bulging.


    They had just picked up an airdrop, which contained a heavy machine gun. Since Wei Shen''s team didn''t like using it, Jiang Siming took it.


    With the heavy machine gun, Jiang Siming was tempted to ambush a team of cars.


    "Okay, just be careful, Old Jiang," Wei Shen cautioned. Although holding a position could provide more information, this task was usually done by Aluka and Wang Duoyu.


    Wei Shen always felt it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, wasting Jiang Siming''s talents on reconnaissance work.


    "Ming didn''t choose to regroup with the team. Instead, he came to a guard post beside the road. What is he planning? C9 team is moving behind. Could it be...?"


    The commentators'' attention gradually shifted to Jiang Siming. This young talent from China, who had just appeared in the competition, had already brought them many surprises.


    Just as they were discussing, a team of cars emerged from the mountain behind the school district, consisting of two vehicles.


    The leading car only had one person inside, acting as a scout.


    Intentionally letting the front car pass, Jiang Siming swiftly leaned out as the second car, a Jeep, approached. He unleashed a barrage of bullets from the heavy machine gun, targeting the tires and the front of the vehicle.


    Targeting the tires and the front of the vehicle was crucial when shooting at cars, as it caused the most damage.


    The dense hail of bullets pounded the Jeep. Amidst the commentators'' intense exclamations, the Jeep exploded in flames!


    Three crates accompanied the burning wreckage of the car, looking quite miserable. Those unaware might have thought it was bombed.


    Realizing that all three of his teammates had died, the remaining C9 player understood that retaliating wouldn''t be meaningful, so he hastened to flee the scene.


    Although I really want to avenge my teammates, but at this time, obviously, the score is more important.


    Even though he''s a lone wolf, as long as he can squeeze into the top ten, he can still score.


    After taking down three more opponents, Jiang Siming also burst out a coarse phrase: Damn!


    Because those three packages, all lit up brightly!


    This is the "damn" of joy, this is the "damn" of happiness~~


    All three pieces of debris are golden! And they are all the same!


    "Picked up [Lujiazui Grand Plaza Herme?s flagship store] *1 (3/3), the number of pieces is full, can be used directly."


    Got another store, still a luxury store.


    Jiang Siming laughed, feeling that these days of competition, he could earn a consumption circle out of it (laughing and crying).

 Chapter 104: Take Action to Free the Team 17

    On the other side, Wei Shen, Xiao Xingmu, and Wang Duoyu quickly knocked down two members of the AW7 team who were transferring from the car and swiftly finished them off.


    In an instant, they gained thirteen points, and the atmosphere of the 4am team changed completely.


    Such a perfect start, no other team could achieve it.


    However, everyone continued to play seriously, no one dared to let their guard down.


    As the sixth wave of the map refreshed, there were still 11 teams and 28 remaining players on the field.


    Wei Shen''s choice of location was excellent, and the circle spawned near them, providing them with a high ground advantage.


    "Stay calm, we have a high probability of winning this chicken dinner!" Wang Duoyu felt very excited.


    "Don''t overdo it, Old Wang. I feel like you''re milking the keyboard," Xiao Xingmu teased.


    Although it might be a bit premature to say so, the luck in this match was indeed very good, with the circle on their side.


    As long as they could hold this position, there was indeed a high probability of surviving until the end.


    At this moment, intense gunfire came from the southwest corner of the high ground jungle.


    Soon after, a message popped up in the upper right corner.


    "Player [aff_shaow] knocked down player [17_yyxovo] with a mini14."


    "Player [aff_lambu] knocked down player [17_shox] with a mini14."


    It turned out that during the transfer process of the 17 team, they were intercepted by the Korean team Aff, and two members had already fallen.


    Aff had already begun planning to rush in and kill the remaining two 17 team members.


    The situation of the 17 team suddenly became precarious, with only the captain Shou and Monkey struggling to hold on.


    "Take down this Chinese team quickly, let''s end this quickly."


    "Haha, trying to escape from the poison? We''ve been waiting for you to run into it!"


    "Let me get a kill, I haven''t even started yet, hehe."


    The Aff team was very relaxed because they not only had numerical superiority but also occupied the high ground position; the 17 team was at their mercy.


    An Aff team member even used a frying pan to knock out yyxovo, the humiliation was obvious.


    Seeing that the same player was about to do the same to Shox, the Chinese audience who were witnessing this scene were furious; knocking you out is one thing, but using a frying pan to do it is clearly insulting!


    Especially the fans of the 17 team, they were angry and somewhat desperate.


    Bang!


    Just as the Korean player squatted down to hit the pan, a shot from an AWM flew from a super long distance, tearing through his helmet!


    Yes, Jiang Siming made a move!


    17''s fans flooded Jiang Siming''s livestream with a bunch of gifts to express their gratitude.


    Jiang Siming''s fans jokingly teased that the "Ming God" wasn''t boasting when he said he earns millions every month from streaming.


    With referees present, although Wei Shen wanted to praise Jiang Siming, he chose to remain silent and continued to pretend, "Stop shooting, someone might snipe you."


    "Yeah." Jiang Siming played along, passing the blame perfectly.


    But not long after, Jiang Siming went out to show off again.


    Wei Shen covered his face, feeling exhausted. Couldn''t his brother pretend to be serious for a bit longer?


    As the circle became smaller, many teams began targeting 4am''s territory.


    After all, this was the only high ground within five hundred meters, with a residential area for cover, making this spot strategically important.


    Each member of 4am was in a separate location, dispersing to hold off the enemies coming from all directions.


    The first team to rush over wasn''t from Jiang Siming''s side but from the direction of Wang Duoyu, the North American powerhouse team TL.


    Wang Duoyu fired, knocking down one person, but the other three immediately got out of the car and returned fire, quickly taking down Wang Duoyu, who couldn''t dodge in time.


    With Wang Duoyu down, 4am''s perfect defense line had a breach.


    Explore new worlds at empire


    Xiao Xingmu, who rushed over from the side, wanted to engage in a gunfight, but unfortunately, the opponent had a vehicle as cover, and one TL member had sneaked into the residential area while Wang Duoyu was down.


    Under the three-on-one encirclement, Xiao Xingmu was also focused down!


    4am went from heaven to hell in an instant, with the situation becoming extremely dangerous.


    In FPS shooting games, no matter how good your equipment is or how many kills you get, it''s all useless. One small mistake, and everything can be lost.


    Both Wang Duoyu and Xiao Xingmu were revived.


    Wei Shen frowned, unsure whether to speak out or not.


    This was purely Wang Duoyu''s impulsiveness; they hadn''t even arrived yet when he started shooting, which allowed the enemy to open up a gap.


    "Should we leave? Safely secure our rank?" Wei Shen suggested.


    Because their score was already very high, as long as they could make it to the top five, or even the top ten, their score would be very high.


    But this proposal was quickly overturned by Jiang Siming without even thinking. Jiang Siming said just two words: "We fight."


    Wei Shen had no choice but to agree and followed Jiang Siming to the positions of the opponents.


    Jiang Siming knew that Wang Duoyu had knocked down one opponent, so the opponent must have sent someone to revive them.


    Wang Duoyu had already reported the location of the fallen teammate, so Jiang Siming pulled the pin of a grenade, counted to three, and tossed it into the air!

 Chapter 105: Need an Apology!

    The grenade transformed into a parabola in the sky, smashing onto the bottom of the enemy''s car and bouncing onto the back of the car. This position happened to be where the two TL team members were, and just as the person who was knocked down was being pulled up, they both ended up eating a grenade together! Instantly, both of them fell to the ground!


    "Wei Shen shouted out loud, immediately rushing over to pull the line and flank the enemy."


    The other two TL team members spotted Jiang Siming''s position and decided to rush to take him down first.


    Separated only by a wall, the two TL team members simultaneously leaned out to shoot!


    But Jiang Siming, who had already heard the footsteps of the opponents, had already set up his pineapple grenade.


    The moment they came out, relying on his gifted reaction speed, Jiang Siming swiftly killed one of them with a headshot.


    Then, smoothly turning the gun, the crosshair jumped to the head of the other TL team member, and with three shots, sent him to meet his maker!


    Jiang Siming also took several shots, almost getting hit, but luckily, he was wearing armor, so he only lost half of his health.


    Wei Shen, who had rushed over, breathed a sigh of relief, while also gaining a clearer understanding of Jiang Siming''s overall abilities.


    "This is the TL team, a North American powerhouse team known for their superb marksmanship, but both of them were killed by Jiang Siming."


    Wei Shen felt like he should give up his position as an assault player to Jiang Siming and switch to being a sniper.


    But after thinking about his sniper skills, he decided against it...


    "Oh, it''s Ming again! He single-handedly wiped out another team! This time it''s the TL team! I''m starting to fall in love with this Chinese hero!" The commentator, Big Beard, was completely impressed by Jiang Siming''s skills.


    "No matter what rank 4AM ends up in, Ming will definitely be the most outstanding player in this match. His solo performance is enough to make it into the top three highlights of this tournament!" Another commentator also praised Jiang Siming enthusiastically.


    While the Chinese audience listened with excitement, they were also worried about the opponents'' potential counterattacks, so they hurriedly spammed the chat with "Brother, don''t milk them!"


    Despite winning this round, 4AM still suffered heavy casualties, with only Wei Shen and Jiang Siming left.


    Jiang Siming looted the enemy''s boxes, finding a green fragment and a white fragment.


    "Picked up [Micro Operation Talent] green fragment *1 (2/2), the number of fragments is full, can be used directly."


    "Picked up [Game Hearing Amplification 30%] white fragment *1 (1/1), the number of fragments is full, can be used directly."


    These two fragments were extremely helpful for the game, so Jiang Siming decisively chose to use them all.


    The Micro Operation skill made Jiang Siming''s ten fingers controlling the game incredibly flexible.


    Jiang Siming even thought that with Micro Operation to deal with the two TL members just now, he might not even need to lose health to take them down!


    With the 30% Game Hearing Amplification, Jiang Siming could hear even farther sounds.


    With their stats fully replenished, the two continued to guard this high slope.


    The scene was shocked!


    Many teams were secretly delighted, after all, quite a few people had died at the hands of the 4am team.


    If 4am were found to be cheating, they would definitely have to replay the match.


    Soon, several referees came over to inspect the computers of the entire 4am team.


    Jiang Siming didn''t say a word, leaning back in his chair and watching coldly, while Wei Shen and the others were very angry and were communicating with the referees.


    He was angry at the distrust and insults towards their 4am team, and although the referees were trying to calm him down, the computers still needed to be checked.


    After being tested by professionals, the referees unanimously determined that 4am hadn''t used any auxiliary plugins.


    This decision undoubtedly helped 4am regain their dignity.


    The Korean team was not happy about it, but they could only accept the result.


    Just when everyone thought the match was about to resume, Jiang Siming suddenly stood up!


    Ignoring the referee''s call, he walked straight out of his seat and came to the center of the stage.


    The host immediately came over, holding the microphone and asked, "May I ask what''s the matter?"


    Jiang Siming took the microphone from him and said coldly, "I want to ask you, who requested the computer inspection?"


    "Um, that was requested by the Korean side," the host replied.


    "And what about the results of the inspection?"


    "The inspection results showed no issues, everything is normal. You''ve reached this point through your own abilities," the host answered truthfully.


    Jiang Siming smirked and said, "Since there''s no problem, should the Korean side come out and publicly apologize to us, 4am?"


    "Ah, this?" The host was suddenly caught in a dilemma.


    Holding the microphone, Jiang Siming addressed everyone in the arena loudly, "You suspect us of cheating, which is inherently disrespectful and insulting to us. We''ve endured it, let you conduct the inspection, but after the results came out, you don''t even have the courage to offer a simple apology? Are all of you from the Korean team just a bunch of cowards who dare not own up to your actions?"


    Although Jiang Siming spoke in Chinese, his words would naturally be translated for the audience and commentators from various countries to hear.


    Naturally, the Korean team wouldn''t agree; they definitely wouldn''t apologize to someone from Huaxia for such an issue.


    At this moment, the representative from the Korean team stepped forward and said firmly, "We have the right to raise doubts and inspect your computers; it''s a reasonable request. I don''t think we owe you an apology."


    "Oh, then I have the right to doubt if you''re even a man. I want to inspect your pants now. Would you mind taking them off?" Jiang Siming''s words were sharp, not giving an inch.

 Chapter 106: Withdrawal Warning!

    The entire audience burst into laughter.


    Lin Yun''er, wearing a mask, blushed and covered her mouth, suppressing her laughter. She finally saw the real Ou Ba~


    The person in charge turned red with embarrassment and shouted at Jiang Siming, "You''re distorting the truth! You''re just causing trouble!"


    Ignoring him, Jiang Siming addressed the crowd directly, "Justice lies in people''s hearts. What I want now is a reasonable apology for our entire team!"


    "Your officials can forcefully inspect our computers under pressure from South Korea, but can''t they fight for a fair apology for us?"


    Jiang Siming''s words were forceful and interrogated the conscience.


    Even audiences and competitors from other countries agreed with Jiang Siming''s words.


    Jiang Siming continued:


    "Without a proper apology for today''s incident, I personally will withdraw from the competition. I won''t accept this unfair treatment!"


    With that said, Weishen immediately took Xiao Xing and Wang Duoyu onto the stage.


    "Our position is the same as Ming God''s. If there''s no apology, our entire 4am team will withdraw from the competition!"


    "And our 17 team!"


    "And our OMG team!"


    "And our AHQ team!"


    ...


    All members of the Chinese teams stood up in protest, even teams from the Hong Kong and Macao regions supported 4am.


    The emotions of the Chinese audience at the scene instantly ignited, and they all stood up and shouted "Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!"


    This move left the organizers dumbfounded.


    They never expected that one action would anger all the Chinese players.


    They could all imagine that at this moment, the Chinese audience must feel the same as 4am.


    Tengxun is the father of Blue Hole, and Blue Hole dares not provoke him.


    Let alone provoking Tengxun, even without Tengxun, they wouldn''t dare to offend the Chinese gold-owner players.


    Moreover, the request made by the other party was indeed reasonable.


    After discussing for a moment, the organizers unanimously agreed that South Korea must apologize to 4am.


    In the end, South Korea had to relent, and the person in charge reluctantly issued a brief apology to 4am.


    Actually, this matter had nothing to do with him, but since he was the overall person in charge, he had to bear this embarrassing matter.


    Having obtained what they deserved, Jiang Siming showed a smile again and returned to the player''s seat with his teammates.


    Seemingly a simple request for an apology, but it earned Jiang Siming the admiration of countless Chinese audiences.


    "Ming God is so domineering! This is how tough he should be, otherwise other countries will think we Chinese are easy to bully!"


    "Daring to use withdrawal as a threat to the authorities, haha~ so bold."


    "Can I get a few more kills and you help me cover the right side?" Jiang Siming said to Weishen.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll definitely provide fire support for you!" Weishen promised, patting his chest.


    The two formed an understanding, with Jiang Siming going for kills and Weishen providing flank fire protection.


    With the understanding settled, Jiang Siming no longer hesitated and peeked out from the left side.


    Behind a small mound on the left side, there were three STK team members who had been on guard against Jiang Siming.


    Seeing Jiang Siming emerge, they immediately opened fire, but he quickly withdrew, avoiding the shots.


    But as he peeked out again, Jiang Siming''s AWM was already "in action".


    The distance was a bit far, and the opponents were constantly changing positions, making quick-scoping too difficult.


    Jiang Siming aimed through the scope, and as the crosshairs of the eight-fold scope opened, he locked onto one of the STK members'' heads.


    Bang!


    With one shot, he immediately retreated, his speed only half a second faster than quick-scoping.


    Aiming down the scope, the opponent was completely exposed under Jiang Siming''s sniper rifle, and one fell!


    Bang!


    Another shot, another one fell!


    Two shots from the Magnum, just like before with AFF, instantly neutralized the opponent''s offense and defense.


    The remaining STK member immediately threw a smoke to assist his teammate.


    But Jiang Siming knew his position very well and deliberately fired a few shots elsewhere.


    Just as they were about to help their teammate up, Jiang Siming didn''t aim for the head with a shot, only hitting his body.


    With only damaged level two armor, the opponent couldn''t withstand the fierce Magnum bullets at all, and the entire STK team was eliminated.


    The cheers from the audience surged higher and higher. Jiang Siming''s sniper skills had everyone dizzy.


    With Jiang Siming collecting kills so aggressively, naturally, some people were unhappy. The Liquid team on the right immediately targeted Jiang Siming, wanting to take him out.


    But Weishen had already set up his gun in advance, and several bullets severely disrupted their aim.


    With STK taken care of, Jiang Siming felt no pressure and turned to counterattack Liquid on the right. Weishen''s rifle skills were impressive.


    With Jiang Siming''s godlike sniper rifle added to the mix, the two of them effortlessly claimed the heads of all three Liquid members.


    At this point, 4am''s score had already reached 27 points, not counting the ranking points.


    Only Team 17 remained on the field, with two Chinese teams fighting to the end. This was what Chinese audiences loved to see because no matter who won, they were happy to watch.


    "How about we let them have a win? Our score is already quite high," Weishen suggested, feeling tempted.


    "We can''t be too obvious about helping them. They wouldn''t be willing to accept such a gift, so let''s play as usual," Jiang Siming replied. Weishen nodded, becoming serious again.


    In the end, Jiang Siming and Weishen still had the upper hand in skill, killing all three members of Team 17. However, Weishen got downed by Team 17 while rushing for points, earning them an extra point.

 Chapter 107: I Am Much Stronger Than Him!

    "Winner winner chicken dinner!" Wei Shen leaped up from his chair and hugged Jiang Siming excitedly. "Lao Jiang, you''re amazing! Insanely strong!"


    "Who wants to hear such flattery," Jiang Siming rolled his eyes at him.


    In the final nine remaining players, Jiang Siming took six heads and earned three pieces of golden shards, totaling two million pounds.


    After winning the chicken dinner, they also obtained a red shard, but it was the same "Best Actor Skill" as before. However, Jiang Siming wasn''t interested. He preferred the two million pounds, which equated to over seventeen million RMB. It''s a fortune!


    On the second day of the group stage, 4am''s first match ended with a chicken dinner.


    Moreover, they achieved a terrifying 30 kills, completely surpassing all the teams that won chicken dinners yesterday.


    Yesterday''s winning team had a maximum of only 11 kills.


    With 30 kills and an additional 10 points for the chicken dinner, they scored a perfect 40 points!


    As the scores were tallied, 4am jumped from last place to fifth place.


    The scores from the group stage were cumulative, so teams that played six matches yesterday naturally had higher scores than 4am, who only played one match.


    But jumping to the top five with just one match left everyone incredulous.


    Next, a beautiful blonde hostess approached 4am for a brief interview.


    She specifically requested Jiang Siming.


    After all, in this match, out of the 30 kills, Jiang Siming had secured 22 of them.


    With 22 kills and a total damage of 1800, this was Jiang Siming''s performance in the first match, completely overshadowing all individual players.


    Who else would they interview if not him?


    Moreover, the recent "withdrawal" incident was also caused by him. Jiang Siming had already become the center of attention in the entire arena; all eyes were on him.


    Once again, all the lights focused on Jiang Siming, this young man from the Eastern Huaxia.


    Previously, everyone was focused on the news of his withdrawal and apology, so they hadn''t paid much attention to Jiang Siming.


    Now, as they carefully observed him, many British female spectators screamed in excitement.


    In the League of Legends, the legendary ADC master, Big Brother, actually doesn''t have many personal honors, and he hasn''t won any S-Series championships.


    However, he has countless fans overseas, while Rule and Bang, who have won several championships, are not as popular overseas. Why is that?


    The reason is Big Brother''s personality. He loves to talk trash and always has an arrogant attitude, which resonates well with foreign audiences due to his exceptional skills.


    Jiang Siming''s performance today is undoubtedly more exaggerated than Big Brother''s. With such strong abilities and confidence, openly declaring that G God is not as good as him and boldly making the tough decision to withdraw without apologizing, and even mocking the Korean teams, he instantly won over foreign audiences who applauded and cheered for him.


    The female host seemed to see a completely new figure in Jiang Siming, smiling and shaking hands with him gracefully, ending the interview.


    Back at the player''s seat, Wei Shen joked, "Old Jiang, you''re being so arrogant, you''re going to get beaten up."


    "I guess the domestic audience will say that Jiang is arrogant again," Xingmu laughed.


    Jiang Siming shrugged and said, "No one can please everyone. As long as the people who like me, like me, that''s enough. As for those who don''t like me, it''s none of my business. Why should I change myself to please them?"


    "It''s a bit convoluted, but the reasoning is absolutely insightful! I support you!" Wei Shen gave him a thumbs up.


    He admired Jiang Siming''s viewpoint. Even after so many years as a professional player, he hadn''t achieved Jiang Siming''s level of open-mindedness.


    4am''s outstanding performance in this match had garnered the attention of all the teams.


    The Korean teams, in particular, harbored deep hatred towards them. During the break, while going to the restroom, the three Korean teams seemed to be plotting something, appearing conspiratorial and mysterious, with a smug expression.


    The break time quickly passed, and the second game began!


    The plane took off again.


    It was still the island map, and 4am still chose the school location.


    However, this time, no one contested them. They monopolized the entire school and the surrounding area alone.


    The School Boss title was well-deserved.


    Jiang Siming felt a little disappointed. It seemed like they wouldn''t have a fierce battle right from the start this time.


    After all, this was a professional competition, and such aggressive play styles were rare. Choosing to focus on farming in the early game was quite normal.

 Chapter 108: Team-destroying Maniac!

    "Do we have a sniper rifle?"


    After searching two residential areas, Wei Shen asked his teammates.


    Before, they didn''t even bother picking up sniper rifles when they found them, because in professional matches, sniper rifles were weak and not as useful as automatic rifles.


    But now, the first thing Wei Shen did when entering the game was to pick up a sniper rifle for Jiang Siming. With him having a sniper rifle, they felt incredibly secure, a sense of security that was hard to describe.


    "I didn''t find one, I only found a mini." Wang Duoyu replied.


    "Give it to Old Jiang." Wei Shen didn''t hesitate.


    Wang Duoyu also knew who the key player in the team was, so he willingly gave up his beloved mini.


    "Wow, the team''s only sniper rifle, given to Ming God. It seems like the 4am other team members have a lot of confidence in Ming God''s sniping skills," the commentator couldn''t help but admire.


    Initially, during the first match, both commentators and viewers were somewhat skeptical about the special treatment Jiang Siming received whenever an AWM was found. But after the first match, their attitudes completely changed.


    Even before they started searching, when Wang Duoyu picked up the mini, the audience was already chanting: "Give it to Ming God!"


    At this point, the circle refreshed, and it was an inconvenient airport circle.


    "Old Jiang, should we go to the station?" Wei Shen couldn''t help but ask Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming''s importance to the team had grown significantly. Although Wei Shen was still the team captain, they usually listened to Jiang Siming''s suggestions.


    "Going to the station can avoid being blocked, but it''s difficult to score points. Since the flight path wasn''t over the airport just now, there will still be many people outside the circle. We can spread out, camp at different points, play guerrilla warfare, collect protection fees, and get kills." Jiang Siming offered his opinion.


    Although this suggestion was risky with a high danger factor, Wei Shen agreed.


    Following Jiang Siming''s approach to the game was indeed much more enjoyable than their usual matches, full of excitement and combat.


    In this type of FPS game, continuous action and confrontation were what made the game most enjoyable.


    However, this gameplay was also very risky, with a high danger factor. It was easy to give away points, so no team dared to play this way, even the North American powerhouses.


    Since they agreed to this strategy, the four of them didn''t hesitate anymore. Each found a vehicle and began heading towards the edge of the circle.


    "Maintain a distance of one to two hundred meters between each other. If someone sees an enemy, don''t shoot immediately. Call it out, and the other three will quickly provide support from different angles and directions. This way, our chances of winning will be high. Of course, it also makes us very vulnerable and easy to be picked off one by one.


    It will depend on our individual reactions and adaptability." After giving these instructions, Wei Shen found a lookout position.


    Although Jiang Siming didn''t get an AWM this time, he wielded the mini-14 just as skillfully.


    With bated breath, Jiang Siming''s fingers were already prepared, and his precise control made him confident that there would be no deformation or mistakes in his next actions.


    Ready, aim, fire!


    Da da da! Three shots, all accurate headshots!


    After firing three shots, Jiang Siming didn''t even look to see if the person fell. His crosshair swiftly moved to another player in the jeep, aiming for another three shots.


    From the moment he started shooting to when he fired the last shot, and even changing targets, Jiang Siming completed the entire sequence in just 1.3 seconds.


    In 1.3 seconds, he fired 6 shots, including finding a new target.


    This speed made both domestic and foreign commentators hold their breath, wondering how he did it. Was he really not using cheats?


    What was even more astonishing was that all six of Jiang Siming''s shots hit the opponents'' heads, without a single miss.


    The Finnish team Wins lost two members in this 1.3-second interval.


    This sudden turn of events caught Wins off guard.


    The other two members immediately jumped out of the car and deployed smoke grenades, and with the car blocking, Jiang Siming couldn''t finish them off.


    However, before he even started shooting, he didn''t plan to finish them off first. Instead, he came out of the house directly and ran towards their position.


    Knocking down others was one thing, but even after knocking them down, he didn''t relent and charged up to them. This playstyle made the audience''s hearts pound with fear; he was truly a madman!


    "Is this guy really trying to take down a whole team by himself?"


    "With smoke grenades deployed, Wins'' players have no idea that Jiang Siming has already arrived and are still crouching to help their teammates."


    "It''s that team-wiping maniac!"


    "We''re in trouble, get up quickly, his other teammates must have come too."


    "Wait a minute, I only heard the sound of a mini just now, it seems like he''s alone."


    "Damn! You''re right, look at the top right corner, the rest of 4am are all fighting other teams!"


    "This guy is too crazy, trying to take down our whole team by himself?"

 Chapter 109: Brilliant Maneuver, Replay Five Times!

    The Wins team had no idea that Jiang Siming was already very close to them.


    Two grenades were accurately thrown over.


    Boom!


    Their vehicles were blown to pieces along with them.


    Fortunately, the two players who were helping their teammates heard the sound of the grenades and decisively abandoned their teammates to find cover on the rear side.


    Read latest chapters at empire


    However, the two players who fell to the ground were not so lucky, as they were blown to pieces and their remains were unrecognizable.


    "Fuck! Kill him!" The two players who emerged from the smoke saw Jiang Siming alone and angrily opened fire at him.


    Jiang Siming wasn''t afraid at all, taking cover behind a locust tree and leaning out, his M4 in hand with no recoil whatsoever.


    He could condense AK shots into a single point, let alone the M416.


    Taking down one, he immediately leaned to the right and effortlessly harvested the head of the other.


    With ease, Jiang Siming took down this Finnish team.


    But just as they finished off one team, another team came driving up the road.


    From a distance, Team AFF heard the gunfire and knew that Ming was fighting ahead. Originally, they wanted to do some loot running.


    But seeing that it was 4AM, and apparently only Ming was there, they felt a surge of new and old hatred, and made a quick decision to overpower them.


    AFF had suffered greatly at the hands of Jiang Siming before, becoming a free kill for the opposing team, not getting a single point, and ending up at the bottom of the rankings.


    They were a top Korean team, how could they endure such humiliation? Revenge was necessary, especially since it seemed like there was only one person on the other side.


    The four of them dispersed within fifty meters, each searching for cover and Jiang Siming''s figure.


    Looking at the four cars on the road, burning to pieces, and the four bodies next to them, the members of AFF felt a bit uneasy.


    Among them, AFF''s Jin Gu was closest, and he felt that something was wrong as he looked at the four body boxes.


    Without hesitation, Jiang Siming dodged to the right, and in the instant the flashbang exploded, his head subtly twisted to the side unnoticed by anyone.


    AFF didn''t see Jiang Siming''s movement at all, thinking that he was blinded by the flashbang, and without bothering to shoot in advance, they rushed towards Jiang Siming''s face.


    Just as they were about to approach Jiang Siming, he suddenly popped his head out.


    The Mini 14 seemed to have eyes of its own as it hit his helmet. With three shots, the person fell stiffly in front of Jiang Siming.


    "Damn it! There''s definitely something fishy here!" AFF''s team members were furious.


    "He must have been hit by that flashbang, why is he okay? We need to check his computer ourselves!"


    AFF''s captain angrily protested to the referee.


    The Korean audience also once again suspected that Jiang Siming was using cheats because even though the flashbang was thrown directly at Jiang Siming''s face, he still moved towards the direction of the flashbang. It was a hundred percent certain that he should have been blinded!


    "Don''t worry, the head referee will make a ruling."


    The organizers had suffered losses last time and dared not casually check Jiang Siming''s computer again. If they couldn''t find any problems again, what if this guy went crazy?


    The head referee began to replay the actions just now. After several official referees played back the footage at five times the normal speed, their mouths were wide open, almost able to fit an egg.


    The referees ignored the demands of the AFF team members and instead opened the replay in slow motion.


    Audiences around the world witnessed it firsthand.


    Jiang Siming chose to escape to the right in a desperate situation, and the flashbang on the ground to the right also exploded at the same time. Logically, Jiang Siming should have been blinded.


    However, under the five times slow motion, Jiang Siming''s every move was played frame by frame.


    Everyone noticed that in the instant the flashbang exploded, Jiang Siming''s head suddenly turned, and his eyes avoided the scattering range of the flashbang.


    This action was too detailed, so detailed that it took five replays for all the viewers to fully understand.


    "This handling is too calm! He''s like a robot, even in such a life-and-death situation, he can still dodge the flashbang. This operation is too inhuman! A monster''s operation!" The commentator with the hooked nose couldn''t help but sigh sincerely.


    "Unbelievable, too unbelievable! This is the strongest player I''ve seen since I became a PUBG commentator, without a doubt!" The bearded commentator had completely become a fan of Jiang Siming.


    After watching it, the members of AFF had empty eyes and fell into despair. It turned out that it wasn''t someone else using cheats, but that the opponent was just too strong, so strong that they thought he must be hacking...

 Chapter 110: Taking One in is No Problem

    Silk Blood retaliated, and Jiang Siming almost choked, quickly replenishing blood.


    Surrounding eight boxes already proved how brutal the battle Jiang Siming had just experienced was.


    On the other side, Wei Shen''s team also wiped out a squad, but lost one member, Xiao Xingmu unfortunately got taken.


    They thought they had done well, exchanging one for four and wiping out a squad.


    But after seeing Jiang Siming''s performance, the three of them felt ashamed.


    They could only quickly run over to regroup with Jiang Siming, seeking protection while looting more boxes, which felt quite nice~


    Eight boxes yielded Jiang Siming five fragments, the drop rate was solid, and Jiang Siming had completely fallen in love with this type of competition.


    He even regretted a bit not participating in the domestic league. Although the drop rate might not be as high as in the World Championship, he definitely missed out on many good fragments.


    The five fragments were all pretty good, and Jiang Siming happily pocketed them.


    The skill "Small-Scale Equipment Perception" was very practical. With this skill, Jiang Siming could detect any equipment within a five-meter radius in advance.


    With this skill, Jiang Siming could greatly reduce the time spent searching for things, serving as a small-scale equipment display.


    The poison circle started to shrink, so the three of them stocked up heavily and chose to abandon the car and land by boat.


    There were definitely a lot of people on the bridge at this time, so crossing it would be unwise. Choosing the water route could greatly avoid risks.


    Of course, the only drawback was that they would have to travel on foot after landing.


    The three of them boarded the boat, and it sailed on the sea.


    Just as they passed by the bridge, someone on the bridge started sniping at them.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    Wei Shen was glad they didn''t choose to cross the bridge, or they might have ended up being ambushed.


    They changed course, moving the boat away from the bridge, and all the enemy bullets ended up feeding the sharks in the sea.


    They landed near the shore, and Wei Shen didn''t choose to detour and land behind the airport island because ninety percent of the time there would already be teams there. ?


    The risk was too high, so it was better to land nearby. Although it was close to the bridge, at least they knew where the people were, and it would be difficult for the enemy to hit them.


    After landing, the three of them took cover at a slope point, watching the shoreline where they came from on one side and guarding against people on the bridge on the other side.


    After taking out two squads, Jiang Siming swapped his equipment from a shotgun to a cannon. With a silenced M24 and a fully equipped AK, level two helmet and armor, this equipment could be considered luxurious.


    With an eight-time scope, nothing could escape Jiang Siming''s sight.


    Strangely, although the two teams clearly knew each other''s positions, they didn''t shoot at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding and remained motionless.


    4am, completely unaware of this, was moving towards the "ambush circle."


    Wei Shen had just stepped onto the road when he was met with four or five bullets and instantly killed!


    Wang Duoyu was also riddled with bullets.


    This sudden ambush caught 4am off guard.


    Jiang Siming immediately took cover when Wei Shen was shot. He wanted to smoke out the two people, but they immediately finished off these two players.


    After the fight, the two teams didn''t look back and split up to enter the circle, with no friction between them at all.


    This all happened too suddenly, and Jiang Siming was a bit dazed, but he saw the information in the upper right corner.


    Wei Shen and Wang Duoyu were both killed by RGS and VSG respectively. These two Korean teams had been squatting here for so long without exchanging a single bullet, just to ambush 4am.


    The intent for revenge and teaming up was already very clear!


    But the two teams were separated by some distance, which could be their excuse for not engaging.


    They could say they were far from each other and didn''t have confidence in making the kill, so they chose to stay put.


    Seeing Wei Shen and the others coming towards them, they opened fire. After the firefight, as the electric field contracted, they had no choice but to enter the circle first.


    Wei Shen could easily figure out this reason with his eyes closed, so apart from taking this loss, there was nothing else he could do.


    "Damn it, these bastards must have a way to communicate with each other! Otherwise, how could they coincidentally come together and know each other''s information?" Wei Shen vented, slamming the table.


    "This feels hopeless. They''re still blocking the circle, and once Jiang ge passes by, he''s bound to get shot," Wang Duoyu said with little hope.


    Even if the opponents didn''t block, what could Jiang Siming do alone?


    In the last game, he and Wei Shen were able to win because the other teams weren''t full squads, with less than ten people remaining.


    But this game, there were still more than thirty people on the map, and the vast majority were full squads.


    It would be difficult for a lone wolf to break into the top ten, let alone Jiang Siming''s position not being in the safe zone. Trying to hide would be useless.


    Xiao Xingmu calculated, "Brother Jiang killed 9, we killed 4, totaling 13 kills, which is not bad. We didn''t get them for free."


    Jiang Siming sneered, "I won''t let these two Korean teams have an easy time this game."


    With that said, Jiang Siming came out from cover and followed

 Chapter 111: Lone Wolf Eats Chicken!

    There are still 38 players on the field, divided into 13 teams, with about 80% of the teams still at full strength.


    It''s already the fifth circle, and the damage from the electric grid has reached 5 points per second. Staying in the poison for ten seconds requires using a first aid kit.


    Jiang Siming immediately found cover after entering the circle and lay down to heal, sparing some space to avoid being discovered by the South Korean team. He endured a considerable amount of electric grid damage.


    Fortunately, Jiang Siming''s supply of medicine was very abundant; two bottles of painkillers and one first aid kit were enough to recover.


    However, this was the most uncomfortable round for Jiang Siming since he started playing, as he was targeted by two Korean teams and was feeling somewhat isolated now.


    If he hadn''t dodged quickly just now, he might have died at the hands of these two teams.


    The reason they didn''t engage Jiang Siming in combat was that they were afraid the referee would catch on, so they chose to attack and retreat quickly, allowing Jiang Siming to escape.


    For the remaining 4am player, it was no longer a concern for the two Korean teams; they felt that Jiang Siming couldn''t make any waves anymore.


    In fact, everyone thought so. From a bird''s eye view, there were three teams surrounding Jiang Siming''s location.


    Once he exposed his position, he would be in mortal danger.


    After healing, Jiang Siming got up from the grass and slowly moved forward in the jungle.


    Suddenly, gunfire erupted ahead, which relieved the tension among the Chinese audience a little.


    They were afraid that none of the teams would fight, and Jiang Siming would have to enter the circle again, increasing the risk of being discovered.


    Using the gunfire as cover, Jiang Siming reached the edge of the circle.


    Then he lay down in the grass as if dead. His goal this time was not just to take shots but to find an opportunity to annoy the South Korean team.


    The gunfire ahead became more and more intense, as if three or four teams were engaged in a skirmish.


    The director''s camera finally left Jiang Siming and focused on the battlefield, leaving Jiang Siming isolated in this patch of grass.


    "Steady, Old Jiang, hold on a bit longer and we''ll still be way ahead of them in points when you enter the top ten," Wei Shen encouraged.


    Jiang Siming remained silent, waiting for the circle to shrink again. Once it did, he immediately got up and quietly sneaked into the safe zone, then lay down again!


    The Chinese audience was touched by Jiang Siming''s move, and their previous sympathy was replaced by a desire to laugh.


    "Jiang Siming is still Jiang Siming, even pretending to be dead is so handsome."


    "He can be so decisive in pretending to be dead, without any hesitation, a true man!"


    "I feel sorry for him, but I can''t help but laugh."


    "So, the God of Killers can also play dead sometimes, trying not to laugh."


    The sound of thunder deafened the triumphant RGS members!


    Their ears were ringing, and three of them fell to the ground at the same time!


    The remaining RGS member was also hit, losing half his health, but before he could move, Jiang Siming''s AK pierced his chest in an instant!


    Quad kill!


    The audience''s cries almost blew off the roof of the venue.


    But the shock didn''t end there. After wiping out RGS, Jiang Siming quickly crawled up from the grass and occupied the low point of RGS.


    When VSG noticed the change in the situation, they immediately rushed towards RGS.


    Fortunately, Jiang Siming had set up a barrier in advance. He stuck his head out and instantly sniped VSG''s Hulk.


    Then Jiang Siming raised his AK, his finger on the trigger, absorbing the powerful recoil with his sturdy body.


    Bullets fired from the chamber, in slow-motion, magnificent yet deadly.


    One down!


    Another one down!


    VSG was also wiped out!


    Finally, only the lone survivor from TL remained. Jiang Siming locked onto the position, his M24 rifle ready.


    With great respect, he zoomed in once, aimed precisely, pulled the trigger, and the target fell!


    "Good luck and fortune, chicken dinner tonight!"


    This banner didn''t appear on RGS or VSG, but it appeared on Jiang Siming''s computer, who had been a lone wolf since halfway through the match, and also on the screens of the other three members of 4am.


    Wei Shen was even happier than winning chicken himself, jumping up from his chair in excitement!


    Wang Duoyu and Xiao Xingmu danced wildly like children, ecstatic.


    Only the crazy shouts of the commentators and the joyful ocean of Chinese fans remained in the venue.


    The scene just now, compared to Jiang Siming''s various superhuman actions in the previous round, was much simpler, but its difficulty was much higher than any single action.


    From being alone halfway through the game, avoiding the sight of all teams, using intelligence and courage to evade everyone''s attention, to seizing the opportunity at the end, decisively taking action with the grenade to take down all members of RGS.


    Then swiftly seizing the point and using his extraordinary individual strength to eliminate VSG and TL, securing the first place.


    From the grenade throw to the end, in less than thirty seconds, Jiang Siming claimed eight kills.

 Chapter 112: Waiting for a God!

    Commentators from all countries, except those from South Korea, were lavish in their praise of 4AM, and even more so, they were fanatically praising Jiang Siming.


    This scene was reminiscent of the moment Lee Sang-hyeok ascended to the pinnacle of the League of Legends, likewise achieving feats that seemed impossible in the eyes of ordinary people, all under the watchful gaze of countless spectators.


    The head planner of PUBG fixated on Jiang Siming''s face on the tournament screen, and in his eyes, the words "god-making" appeared.


    Every successful game needs a ''god'' figure, adored and revered by countless fans, like Li Xiaofeng in Warcraft, yR, or Lee Sang-hyeok in League of Legends.


    Every game eventually sees the birth of a ''god'', but for PUBG, that figure had yet to emerge.


    Although many players have excellent skills and top-tier abilities, they were not the kind of person PUBG was looking for.


    They weren''t looking for just a person, they were looking for a god!


    The former are merely skilled individuals, but the latter are gods to be revered.


    When the head director, George, saw Jiang Siming, it was as if he could see the ''god'' they had been waiting two to three years for, slowly ascending to his divine throne.


    "Whether you make it or not depends on your next games. I hope you won''t disappoint me again." George''s expectations for this ''god'' were nearly impossibly high.


    Even after years of fruitless waiting, he refused to lower his standards.


    Seeing the members of RGS and VSG slumped in their chairs, filled with frustration and regret, inexplicably brought a sense of satisfaction to the teams from other countries.


    The disgusting tactics of the Korean teams in this match were clearly evident.


    They never attacked their own teammates, but when they saw other teams, they ganged up like rabid dogs.


    No team wanted to see them take first place.


    In fact, RGS and VSG, despite playing steadily, had very few kills and hadn''t achieved a chicken dinner. Their ranking points were five and six respectively, and with their kill counts, they barely reached around ten points.


    They couldn''t even surpass the three major teams from North America, let alone compare to 4AM.


    In this match, 4AM didn''t get many kills at the start, but in the end, Jiang Siming got eight kills in one burst, and earlier, he had wiped out two teams as well.


    Including the team that 4AM wiped out, plus one kill from OMG, there were a total of 17 kills.


    Combined with 10 ranking points, they still had 27 points.


    Two consecutive chicken dinners not only represented an honor, but also an unstoppable momentum!


    GodV clutched his neck, slumping in the chair, gasping for air as if he had narrowly escaped disaster.


    "Captain, stop pretending, it''s too exaggerated."


    "Yeah, how can you, being so big, not be able to fight back against Brother Jiang?"


    Xingmu and Duoyu expressed their disbelief.


    GodV glared at them and said grumpily, "Why don''t you two try? This guy''s strength is inhuman. I can''t even move his finger."


    "Is that for real?" The two looked doubtful.


    Jiang Siming came out of the restroom and was about to leave when he noticed a girl wearing a mask being cornered against the wall by a sleazy-looking young man in the hallway outside the restroom.


    "Hey beautiful, I just want to be friends, don''t be so uptight. Take off your mask and let me see your face. I promise I won''t touch you," the young man, who was also a spectator at the venue, said as he blocked her.


    "I don''t know you... Leave me alone, or I''ll call the police," the girl said warily, trying to protect herself, clearly scared.


    "Heh heh, what good will calling the police do? I haven''t touched you. Come on, let me see what you look like. With a body like that, your face must be beautiful too," the young man said as he tried to reach out.


    But before he could touch her, his hand was grabbed by a large hand from behind, instantly causing him to cry out in pain.


    "Who the hell are you... Let go... Ah..." The young man screamed, almost dropping to his knees in front of Jiang Siming.


    "Don''t mind me, I just want to be friends too. Let''s see if your arm is dislocated, how about it? You can make friends, and so can I, right?" Jiang Siming said calmly.


    The girl, who had been frightened, looked at the man who had saved her, and her heart was filled with a sense of security.


    "I''m sorry... I''m sorry, big brother... Please let me go..." The young man begged for mercy, completely spineless.


    Jiang Siming didn''t make things too difficult for him and let him go after a warning.


    Who knew that as soon as the guy broke free, he spouted the universal thug phrase, "You just wait," before running off.


    Jiang Siming didn''t even bother to chase him¡ªit was too boring.


    "Better get going, it''s not safe here," Jiang Siming said to the girl, then turned to leave.


    "Oppa, wait!" The girl, Lin Yoona, hurriedly chased after him.

 Chapter 113: The Hatred of the Stick

    Jiang Siming turned around, his expression showing deep thought.


    "Why does your voice sound a bit familiar to me? Do we know each other? And... you called me ''oppa,'' are you Korean?"


    Since they had been communicating in English earlier, Jiang Siming hadn''t noticed, but the word "oppa" gave him a clue.


    "Oppa, do you remember playing games with three of us Korean girls not long ago? We said we''d come to cheer for you," Lin Yoona happily said, thrilled that Jiang Siming remembered her.


    "What!" Jiang Siming exclaimed in surprise, "You''re that prohin? Number two."No?v(el)B\\jnn


    "Mhm, I didn''t expect Oppa to even remember that," Lin Yoona shyly lowered her head.


    "The impression was too strong. You were the one who knocked me down," Jiang Siming teased with a smile.


    Lin Yoona was so embarrassed that she buried her head into her chest like an ostrich.


    "I''m just joking. Did all three of you come? Why are you going to the restroom alone? England isn''t as safe as Huaxia. You should let your friends accompany you," Jiang Siming said kindly.


    "They all wanted to come, but something came up last minute."


    "Huh? So you came here all by yourself?"


    "Mhm."


    This...


    Jiang Siming felt a little unsure of what to do. This girl had actually come all the way to London alone just to cheer for him.


    "You don''t have any friends here?"


    "No," Lin Yoona answered honestly.


    "Then it''s too worrying for you to go out alone at night to watch the match. How about this, after the match, wait for me, and I''ll send you back," Jiang Siming suggested.


    "No, no need... I can go back by myself," Lin Yoona waved her hands repeatedly.


    Jiang Siming was firm, "It''s settled. Don''t be so polite. I won''t feel at ease unless I send you back. After all, you came to watch my match. I have a responsibility to look out for you. Alright, my match is about to start, let me take you back to the audience seat first."


    Hearing the words "responsibility for you" nearly made Lin Yoona overthink, but she obediently followed behind Jiang Siming. After they got back to the audience, they parted ways for the time being.


    After sitting back in her seat, Lin Yoona''s mind was filled with the scene of Jiang Siming sending her back to the hotel later, her heart full of excitement and anticipation. R


    The third round of the match began shortly after.


    It was still the familiar island map, and 4am was again planning to land at the school.


    "It''s him! It''s that guy!" Seeing the notification of being knocked down, both VSG members were furious.


    All the Korean teams harbored deep hatred toward Jiang Siming.


    Hulk, driving the off-road vehicle, attempted to ram Jiang Siming to death, but Jiang was incredibly agile. With a skillful sidestep, he dodged the charging vehicle.


    Hulk wasn''t discouraged. He turned the vehicle around and aimed to run Jiang Siming over again.


    However, in the next moment, Hulk slammed on the brakes, too afraid to continue charging.


    Jiang Siming had positioned himself behind Huang Yida. If Hulk drove forward, Huang Yida would surely die too.


    Not only did Jiang Siming use Huang Yida as a shield, but he also started dancing, doing a playful jig.


    The entire audience burst into laughter; this move was too cheeky.


    Hulk was on the verge of exploding with rage.


    Huang Yida hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "Run me over. If it kills him, it''s worth it even if I die."


    "This..."


    "Don''t hesitate! He''s the enemy of all Korean teams. Sacrificing me to kill him is worth it!"


    Hearing Huang Yida say this, Hulk no longer hesitated. He restarted the vehicle and charged toward Jiang Siming.


    Huang Yida was run over by his teammate on the spot, causing the audience to gasp. No one expected the Korean team''s hatred for Jiang Siming to be this intense¡ªthey were willing to pay any price to kill him.


    Now, things didn''t look good for Jiang Siming, and everyone''s hearts tightened with tension.


    As soon as Hulk started the vehicle, Jiang Siming became cautious, positioning himself at the edge of the area.


    However, he didn''t anticipate Hulk''s extreme hatred and determination to ram him so decisively.


    Jiang Siming tried to dodge to the side but still got hit. Fortunately, the vehicle wasn''t moving too fast, and it was an off-road car, so he only took a minor hit, leaving him with a sliver of health and narrowly escaping death.


    Though he survived with just a bit of health, the danger wasn''t over yet. Jiang Siming turned and ran behind a tree, planning to play a game of cat and mouse.


    Hulk quickly drove after him. Although he missed again, he intended to slow down, stop, and adjust his direction for another attempt.


    But Jiang Siming, noticing Hulk slowing down, immediately jumped onto the back seat of the vehicle.


    Seeing Jiang Siming sitting on his own car, Hulk was furious, wishing he could pull out a gun and blow his head to pieces.


    But at that moment, he had nothing¡ªnot even a weak pistol was within his grasp.

 Chapter 114: VSG: Enduring Humiliation

    Hulk wanted to take Jiang Siming away, to bring him to his teammates.


    But just as the car started, Jiang Siming jumped out again.


    When Hulk tried to turn the car to hit him, Jiang Siming jumped back in.


    This back-and-forth continued, making the audience laugh uncontrollably.


    Jiang Siming was toying with VSG''s players as if they were monkeys, and the most frustrating part was that Hulk couldn''t do anything about it.


    The other two players were far away, constantly shouting for Hulk to bring Jiang Siming back!


    But Hulk was bitter inside¡ªhe wanted to bring him back too, but this guy was slippery like an eel. As soon as the car started, Jiang Siming would jump out, leaving Hulk helpless.


    He knew that Jiang Siming''s teammates were probably nearby and would arrive soon, so it was either time to leave or quickly deal with Jiang Siming.


    In desperation, Hulk changed his strategy and jumped out of the car to punch Jiang Siming, because even a light punch would kill him.


    He predicted that Jiang Siming would instinctively jump out of the car in a panic, sealing his fate.


    But even though the script was written, Jiang Siming, this "actor," didn''t follow it at all.


    As soon as he jumped out, Jiang Siming quickly switched seats and took the driver''s seat.


    Hulk was shocked and tried to copy Jiang Siming by getting back into the car.


    But Jiang Siming''s driving skills were something else¡ªafter a few twists of the car''s rear, Hulk couldn''t even click to get back in.


    In the end, Jiang Siming drove away from Hulk''s sight, turned around, and charged right back at him.


    Suddenly, Hulk recalled a famous Chinese saying: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never look down on a poor young man. I, Xiao Yan..."


    Ahem, he got sidetracked.


    Hulk started running, zigzagging down the road in an attempt to dodge Jiang Siming''s car.


    But with Jiang Siming''s ¡¾Master Driver¡¿ skill, there was no way he''d be fooled by such small maneuvers.


    He even pulled off a high-level move, braking and drifting, knocking Hulk into the air with the car''s rear.


    Hulk fell to the ground with a cry of despair, and without a second thought, Jiang Siming ran him over, causing a fragment to drop.


    "Picked up ¡¾Iron Sight Mastery¡¿ white fragment*1 (1/1), fragment count complete, can be used directly."


    Jiang Siming picked it up and drove away.


    Even the official commentators at the scene couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Oh, although I feel bad for VSG''s players, I have to praise Ming for his handling of the situation. He stayed so calm and completely controlled the situation."


    At that moment, Jiang Siming rammed his car into the restroom door, quickly jumped out, and started shooting wildly at his own car.


    Wei Shen and the others followed up with more shots, and within two seconds, the car exploded.


    The explosion blew open the restroom door, revealing two sneaky figures inside.


    "Hahaha, who''s so unlucky?" Wei Shen laughed heartily.


    Jiang Siming''s tactic was hilarious and unexpected.


    "Let''s knock one down first and see," Jiang Siming said, immediately firing a burst at the people inside, knocking one down instantly.


    "Player ¡¾4am_ming¡¿ used SCAR-L assault rifle to knock down player ¡¾VSG_Star¡¿."


    Seeing the player''s ID, the entire 4am team burst into laughter. It seemed fate had brought them together, and the grudge from the start of the match was about to be settled in this round.


    "Go behind the restroom, don''t engage directly, throw grenades behind it, hehe," Wei Shen said with a sly grin.


    All four players ran behind the restroom. There was only one door, and Jiang Siming''s car was blocking it, so the enemies had no way out.


    Jiang Siming threw his only Molotov cocktail through a crack behind the restroom. Boom!


    In an instant, flames surged inside, and the temperature rose dramatically.


    The two VSG players inside were furiously shooting, but they couldn''t hit a single hair of 4am.


    In the end, both were roasted alive in the restroom, dying in utter humiliation.


    "Are we being a bit unfriendly?" Xiao Xingmu asked, showing a hint of humanitarian concern.


    Jiang Siming chuckled and said, "Do you think they felt the same way when they used frying pans to humiliate our Team 17 from China?"


    "Exactly, an eye for an eye, nothing to feel guilty about," Wei Shen agreed.


    If it had been a team from another country, they might have treated them with respect and taken them down with bullets.


    But since it was a Korean team, there was no need for courtesy. In the last match, the disgusting team-ups by the Korean squads were witnessed by everyone.


    Dying in the restroom like this was a blatant humiliation for VSG and the entire Korean team.


    All three Korean teams had been ruthlessly crushed by 4am, with VSG suffering the worst.


    They could already imagine the wrath of their fans when they returned home, facing a storm of angry criticism.


    "It looks like 4am has made up its mind to be enemies with the Korean teams," the hook-nosed commentator said. This was an unbearable humiliation for any team.


    The bearded commentator, however, didn''t seem to mind and even sided with 4am, saying:


    "The game is about brutality, not friendly back-and-forth. The Korean team also used frying pans to humiliate Team 17 earlier, so 4am is just returning the favor. I don''t think it''s excessive."

 Chapter 115: Confidence Won Through Battle

    No matter what people thought about 4am''s ruthless tactics, everyone still found the move quite satisfying to watch.


    This kind of tactic had existed for a long time, but only in casual matches. This was the first time it appeared in a competitive game.


    Though a bit cheeky, it was very effective against enemies hiding in restrooms.


    Many new players expressed that they learned something, realizing you could play this way.


    The only downside of this type of death is that you can''t loot the bodies. Jiang Siming secretly felt relieved that no shards dropped from the bodies inside; otherwise, he would have been heartbroken.


    The four of them waited on the hill for a while, but no one came, so they moved to a new position.


    In fact, this kind of reckless repositioning is very dangerous, as it makes you vulnerable to ambushes.


    If it were 4am''s old playstyle, they would never do this.


    But with Jiang Siming around, coupled with the morale boost from back-to-back wins, Wei Shen and the others had long forgotten what fear felt like.


    The phrase Wei Shen said the most in this round was: "Just go for it."


    Their points were already pretty much secured for advancing, so since they were sure they''d qualify, why not play more boldly?


    First, it boosts confidence; second, it helps them warm up their hands; and third, they can experiment with more strategies.


    Driving around arrogantly, it was no surprise that no team who saw them wouldn''t attack.


    The Thai AG team, known for their aggression, unleashed heavy firepower on 4am.


    Wei Shen, who was in the back, was shot off the vehicle.


    Though the "Sacrificial Pighead" strategy was powerful, Jiang Siming and the others clearly weren''t going to just let Wei Shen be thrown away like that.


    The three of them immediately stopped the car behind cover: Xiao Xingmu suppressed the enemy with fire, Wang Duoyu threw smokes, and Jiang Siming landed precise shots¡ªeveryone performed their roles perfectly.


    Seeing someone from AG couldn''t resist coming out to finish off the downed Wei Shen, the moment they poked their head out, it was blown off.


    To dare peek when Jiang Siming had a sniper? You have to admit, this Thai player wasn''t afraid of death.


    Wei Shen''s downed body, unclaimed by the enemy, was like an old cat resting on a salted fish, continuously tempting their greed.


    Another AG player stepped out, firing a single shot at Wei Shen''s backside, but Jiang Siming''s bullet tracked him down and knocked him as well.


    This time, AG was thoroughly intimidated, retreating to heal and revive behind cover, not daring to come out easily again.


    Wei Shen, on the other hand, had a relaxed time. With Jiang Siming covering and Wang Duoyu pulling him up, he was perfectly safe.


    "Damn it, why do they only shoot me? Do they think I''m easy to bully? This pighead isn''t something just anyone can take, young man."


    The red shards really seem to contain all sorts of skills, although Jiang Siming had no idea what learning this one would do.


    But who cares? Having it is better than not having it, at least it''s another skill in his arsenal.


    In this match, all the members of 4am performed exceptionally well. Both Xiao Xingmu and Wang Duoyu brought out their best form.


    Later, they encountered two more teams. It was no longer just Jiang Siming racking up kills. Their output and contribution were equally significant. Out of the two teams, Jiang Siming only killed two players.


    His kill count went down this time, but the KD (kill-death ratio) of the other team members went up.


    Jiang Siming was happy to see this.


    As the circle closed in, surprisingly, the North American teams were wiped out, and both 17 and OMG were also eliminated.


    Only the Swedish team NIP survived until the very end.


    This is the charm of FPS games¡ªanything is possible.


    No matter how big your advantage is, you''re always just a few bullets away from death.


    And no matter how weak a team may seem, they always have a chance to make a comeback.


    However, NIP''s comeback stopped at 4am. There was no twist, and 4am secured their third chicken dinner!


    With three consecutive wins, 4am firmly established themselves in the top eight rankings.


    No team wanted to challenge them anymore because it just wasn''t worth the risk.


    But the hatred from the Korean teams towards 4am remained deep.


    Their rankings had fallen to the bottom among the 16 teams, with the highest being only tenth place.


    The Korean teams were completely shell-shocked today. After all, this game was developed by a company from their country.


    The Korean teams, always proud to be from the strongest region, had gone into complete despair after these three matches.


    The Korean region''s managers immediately tried to find a way to buy time. They needed to adjust their mindset and rework their strategy.


    Soon, a Korean player claimed to feel unwell, and the organizers had no choice but to extend the break by half an hour.


    Both the audience and the other teams had lost any goodwill towards the Korean teams. The way they resorted to every dirty trick to win was truly despised by everyone.


    Fortunately, the delay was only half an hour, so everyone waited patiently.


    By this time, it was already 7 p.m. in the UK, and both the players and the audience were getting hungry.

 Chapter 116: Food Delivery Has Arrived!

    Wei Shen''s bag of chips wasn''t enough at all¡ªfour grown men couldn''t even satisfy their cravings.


    The organizers, considering the players'' hunger, bought a big box of hamburgers and gave one to each person.


    But the problem was, one hamburger wasn''t enough.


    Especially for Wei Shen and Jiang Siming, it was merely a drop in the ocean.


    For Wei Shen, it was because he simply had too much fat and a big appetite.


    But for Jiang Siming, it was due to his strong physique. His body required so much energy that it caused his appetite to increase dramatically.


    In the past, one bowl of food was more than enough for him, but now, even three big bowls were just enough to fill him.


    "Could it be that these Korean bastards are trying to wear us down like this?" Wei Shen muttered, lying back in his chair.


    Jiang Siming laughed and teased, "If that''s the case, at least you won''t have to take the blame when we lose. You can say the Korean teams are shameless, and the organizers didn''t give us enough food, so we lost."


    "Screw you! Sigh, if Zai Zai (Mi Feng Zai) were here, it would be great. She''d definitely get me something delicious to eat."


    Wei Shen said this while smugly raising his eyebrows at Jiang Siming, as if to say, "See? I''ve got a girlfriend, and she''s really considerate."


    Jiang Siming was unimpressed and said, "Mi Feng Zai will only get you takeout. Can she cook for you?"


    "She''s still learning. At least now she can make stir-fried pork with chili and tomato egg soup." Wei Shen said sheepishly.


    When he said "can make," he meant she could follow the steps on Baidu and cook it one step at a time.


    He didn''t mention how it tasted because, after trying it once, he preferred to order takeout every day after that...


    "Oh, sorry, my girlfriend can cook anything." Jiang Siming tilted his head back with a proud expression.


    Wei Shen admitted defeat and mumbled, "So what? You''re still here starving with me, aren''t you?"


    Jiang Siming had no comeback for that. Wang Xinyi hadn''t come with him.


    "Heh heh, Lao Jiang, suffer with me. I know you''re hungry too, hahaha." Wei Shen grinned smugly.


    Jiang Siming scratched his head, really tempted to give him a kick.


    At that moment, a girl wearing a mask and a baseball cap suddenly walked in from the audience entrance, carrying a large bag.


    She walked past the audience and headed straight for the players'' area, but a security guard stopped her.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    Jiang Siming noticed the conversation between them, so he immediately got up, went over, and spoke with the guard. After a brief negotiation, he successfully brought the girl to the players'' area.


    Since it was break time, there weren''t too many rules. Besides, she was just delivering food, which was perfectly reasonable.


    Jiang Siming continued ignoring Wei Shen and kept chatting with Lin Yuner.


    Even in this brief interaction, Lin Yuner felt a stronger sense of comfort with Jiang Siming, no longer as nervous and flustered as she was before.


    Moreover, after chatting for a bit, Lin Yuner realized that it wasn''t just Jiang Siming''s looks that attracted her; there was also an air about him that made her even more captivated.


    However, time flew by too quickly, and soon the break was over.


    Lin Yuner had to reluctantly say goodbye to Jiang Siming. Before leaving, she even took the trash bag with her.


    As Lin Yuner was walking down from the players'' area, a notification about a female''s affection points suddenly appeared in Jiang Siming''s mind.


    "Affection points: +42. Current affection points: 72 (+30 base points). Reward: one random golden shard."


    That''s quite high!


    Jiang Siming was a bit surprised. They had only been together for a short while, yet her affection points were already over 40.


    Moreover, since affection points were displayed, it meant this girl''s appearance must be very attractive.


    For females who weren''t very attractive, Jiang Siming wouldn''t receive any affection points at all.


    He became more curious to see what this girl really looked like. Come to think of it, he didn''t even know her name.


    He only remembered that, during the game, the other girl called her "Yuner." Could it really be Lin Yuner?


    No way, something that good couldn''t happen.


    Jiang Siming dismissed the thought and glanced at the golden shard he had been rewarded.


    "Picked up [Brabus G800] golden shard *1 (1/2), not enough shards to use yet."


    Brabus G800?


    Jiang Siming had only seen this car once when he was working in Shanghai, and it left a deep impression on him.


    The ''Mighty Bear,'' worth over eight million yuan, was equipped with a 6.0TV12 twin-turbo engine and had a maximum horsepower of 800.


    It was several levels higher than the Mercedes G-Class and was a top-tier SUV in the category of domineering cars.


    This car was every man''s dream. No man could resist the allure of such a vehicle.


    Driving this car would definitely attract a lot of attention and make an unforgettable impression.


    Now, Jiang Siming just needed one more shard to complete it, and he was already feeling impatient.


    He hoped he could gather the remaining shard in this competition, so when he returned to Shanghai, he could drive it around to his heart''s content.

 Chapter 117: Letting Go of Myself

    The match continued, and it was the fourth round, still on the island map.


    This was also the last island map in today''s group stage. The next two rounds would both be on the desert map.


    4AM, with a score that had already surpassed 100 points, firmly held the top spot. The second place was yesterday''s NIP, with a score of 82.


    And today''s group stage had only seen three rounds so far.


    As for the teams competing today, the highest scores were from STK and TL, both with just over 40 points. The lower scores ranged from a few points to over ten points.


    Wei Shen once again marked the school area.


    However, Jiang Siming felt a bit restless. Since they had already secured enough points to advance, there was no need to play it safe anymore. He wanted to stir things up...No?v(el)B\\jnn


    "I''m thinking of messing around this round, no problem with that, right?" Jiang Siming still sought his teammates'' opinions.


    "No worries, do whatever you want, we''ve already secured our spot," Wei Shen readily agreed.


    He knew Jiang Siming''s style in games¡ªif he wasn''t in a gunfight, he''d feel uncomfortable.


    Rather than having him follow them around, looting aimlessly, it was better to let him play his own game.


    Besides, Wei Shen also wanted to see just how high Jiang Siming''s skill ceiling really was.


    "Brother Jiang, go ahead. Even if you die while messing around, we''ll hold our ranking," said Xiao Xingmu.


    "Yeah, you''ve carried us for three rounds already, play however you like this time," Wang Duoyu chimed in.


    Xiao Xingmu and Wang Duoyu clearly regarded Jiang Siming as the biggest boss in the team. They might not listen to Wei Shen, but they would definitely listen to Ming Shen.


    "Okay, time to let loose," Jiang Siming grinned and then asked Wei Shen, "You mentioned earlier, where do the Korean teams like to drop?"


    "Rozhok and Georgopol. Usually, RGS and AFF go there," Wei Shen replied.


    "Alright, I''ll go check out that area," Jiang Siming made up his mind.


    Wei Shen and Xiao Xingmu suddenly felt the urge to offer their condolences to RGS and AFF. "Korean brothers, stay strong!"


    As the plane reached the school, the audience and commentators only saw three 4AM parachutes jumping down.


    "Huh? Where did Ming Shen go?" Cheng Hui searched the map for Jiang Siming''s parachute, but couldn''t find it.


    "He''s jumped! Ming Shen landed at Georgopol!" Qian Yi quickly spotted Jiang Siming''s parachute on the map.


    In the sky over Georgopol, apart from RGS''s four parachutes, there was an additional red parachute representing 4AM, with the Chinese flag clearly visible.


    "Did Ming Shen glitch? Why would he jump here?" Bear started to doubt.


    It was no joke. With Wei Shen and the others at the school and Jiang Siming at Georgopol, the distance between them could very well mean the difference between life and death.


    "If we don''t start looting soon, the zone is going to close in," one teammate reminded.


    Captain Style had no choice but to give up searching for Jiang and told his teammates to split up and gather supplies. He guessed that Jiang must have run away, as there was no sign of him after so long.


    The four quickly started looting in G Harbor, while Jiang Siming was hiding in a stone pile behind the containers in the far northeast corner of G Harbor.


    The stone pile was covered with grass, making it hard to spot him unless someone had sharp senses like Jiang''s.


    Obviously, they didn''t. Two of them had already walked around this area several times without noticing anything.


    The four finished looting G Harbor, and their equipment was decent.


    Not far from where Jiang Siming was hiding, there was a vehicle¡ªthe iconic AE86 from *Initial D*. Naturally, the AFF members weren''t going to let this vehicle go to waste.


    After looting, one player ran over to start the car and leave.


    Just as he was getting in, a silent arrow from a crossbow shot straight into his head. He rolled off the car and fell to the ground.


    "Sh*t!" The AFF player was so startled that he blurted out a Chinese exclamation.


    It was just like how we say "f*ck" or "damn" in frustration.


    The sudden downing of their teammate shocked the remaining three AFF members.


    When they saw the kill notification in the upper-right corner, their shock quickly turned into fury.


    "It''s that guy! The lone wolf who parachuted with us!"


    Style finally realized that this wasn''t some easy target sent to give them free points. Jiang Siming had deliberately come to take out their whole team.


    "This guy is outrageously arrogant! Spread out and find him! I don''t care if we have to turn this place upside down!"


    They were furious! How could they not be?


    There was already bad blood between them, and now Jiang Siming had come alone to cause trouble, clearly not taking them seriously.


    This feeling of being looked down upon was a severe blow to their pride as professional players.


    Today, they had to find Jiang Siming, knock him down, revive him, then knock him down again¡ªrepeating the process twenty times if that''s what it took to quench their rage!


    As the three approached, Jiang shot another arrow, finishing off the downed player.


    After that, he immediately changed his position, still hiding in the grass and stone pile, but from a completely different angle.


    The remaining three AFF players frantically searched around their fallen teammate, but they couldn''t find Jiang Siming anywhere.


    It was as if Jiang had vanished, and the three of them were so anxious that they started sweating.

 Chapter 118: Crossbow and Sniper: Boundless Power!

    At this moment, the blue zone began to shrink, and since they still hadn''t found Jiang Siming, Style had no choice but to give up and planned to lead his team away.


    He left the AE86 to one of his teammates, while he and another teammate went to take a different vehicle.


    In professional matches, vehicles are highly valued, and typically each player tries to have one.


    They clearly wouldn''t give up this well-maintained and fast AE86.


    However, just as another teammate got into the AE86, an arrow pierced through his head.


    After knocking him down, Jiang shot another arrow, hitting him square in the rear to finish him off, and immediately relocated.


    The audience was laughing out loud¡ªJiang Siming''s tactics were so mischievous, and the way he used the crossbow was no less effective than a sniper rifle, with each shot landing precisely.


    The AFF players were being driven insane by Jiang Siming''s tactics, desperately searching around but finding nothing.


    The sound of a crossbow is extremely quiet, and if you''re a bit far away, you can only determine the enemy''s direction by the flight path of the arrow''s tail.


    But Jiang knew this well, so after every shot, he immediately changed positions, making it impossible for AFF to track him.


    With two teammates already down, AFF had lost half of their strength.


    Style finally decided to give up, gritting his teeth and telling his teammates to leave. They didn''t even dare to take the AE86 anymore.


    The AFF team completely fled. They knew that 4am had already secured their spot in the next round, so they could afford to play aggressively, but AFF couldn''t.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    So far, AFF only had 9 points in this group stage, and if they kept this up, they might not even surpass OMG.


    Seeing that the enemy had retreated, Jiang Siming stopped hiding. He emerged from the stone pile and gleefully looted the two boxes.


    He even picked up a skill item: [Lip Reading Mastery], and updated his gear.


    From the start, he had only been using a crossbow¡ªno helmet, no vest, completely bare-bones.


    Now with the two loot boxes, Jiang Siming rummaged through them.


    He considered switching to a rifle and a Kar98k, but then he thought, "I''m already going all out, so why take things so seriously?"


    In the end, he only picked up the Kar98k, grabbed some more crossbow bolts from the containers, and set off with the Kar98k equipped with a suppressor and an 8x scope.


    "Is Ming God really not picking up a rifle? I saw those two AFF players had rifles," Cheng Hui remarked in confusion.


    He had never seen someone play so wildly. If you picked up two sniper rifles, that''d be understandable, but why bring a crossbow along with a sniper rifle? Could it be that he''s addicted to using the crossbow?


    That seemed likely, knowing Jiang Siming''s eccentric personality.


    Jiang wasn''t in a rush to enter the zone¡ªhe had plenty of healing items and wasn''t afraid of taking damage from the blue zone.


    He drove from G Harbor to the outskirts of Uptown, parking the car behind a house and hiding behind a tree by the roadside.


    "Oh, blocking me, huh? Fine, I''ll just throw a grenade," Jiang Siming shrugged and smiled. He switched to a grenade, aimed it in the direction of the enemy, and sprinted as far as he could while tossing it into the sky.


    To ensure the grenade would reach them, Jiang ran ten meters closer and even jumped as he threw it. Right after tossing the grenade, he turned and dashed into the forest, disappearing from sight.


    Boom!


    The grenade exploded, and the second RGS player was knocked down, while the teammate who had been hit by the arrow turned into a loot box.


    "Ah, damn it!!!"


    You could imagine how frustrated RGS felt.


    The remaining two teammates, who had rushed over to help, immediately spread out their vehicles, using them as cover to form an impenetrable fortress.


    "Where is he?" RGS captain Mentenl quickly asked.


    "Not sure, he seemed to be in the 80 direction, but now we don''t know where he is," replied the knocked-down teammate.


    "Captain, let''s surround him. It''s that annoying Chinese player Ming!" one of the teammates suggested.


    Getting knocked down by a crossbow was a huge humiliation for them.


    But Mentenl didn''t think that way. He calmly shook his head and said, "Revive him, and let''s get out of here."


    "Why? He seems to be alone. I can''t swallow this insult," the teammate said, frustrated.


    Mentenl replied, "4am has already secured their advancement. If he dares to come alone, it means he''s not afraid to die. Just now, two AFF players died at his hands. He''s only here to mess with us, to prevent us from getting points."


    Hearing this, the teammate realized it made sense and decided to help their fallen comrade.


    But just then, Jiang Siming, from a distance, started shooting out the tires of their vehicles with his crossbow.


    Thud, thud...


    All they could hear were the sounds of tires being popped, without any clue where the shots were coming from.


    By the time the downed teammate was revived, all their vehicles had lost a tire.


    Originally, Jiang Siming had intended to leave, but the first teammate he killed dropped a loot fragment, and it was blue.


    This was the first blue fragment he had encountered, and Jiang didn''t want to miss it, so he decided to stick around and keep bothering them.


    After reviving their teammate, RGS no longer dared to stay any longer. They quickly drove away.


    Though one of the tires was flat, the vehicle could still move, albeit slower and with less steering control.


    Fortunately, they were driving on a flat road, or they would have been in serious trouble.

 Chapter 119: Blue Fragments!

    Seeing that the members of RGS wanted to flee one by one, Jiang Siming decided to take down one more.


    The range of the crossbow in his hand wasn''t enough, so Jiang Siming took out the suppressed Kar98k that had been stored on his back.


    With an easy shot, leading his aim slightly, he took down the last member of RGS.


    The audience finally understood Wei Shen and his team''s feelings at that moment¡ªsympathy, how pitiful~


    Another teammate went down, but Mentenl decisively ordered a retreat; he couldn''t continue to fight Jiang Siming, or he would really have to retire and return home.


    Although his decision was correct, it undoubtedly declared to the world that RGS had chickened out¡ªthey were beaten into submission by a single person.


    This reputation would follow them forever¡ªthus, the term "cowardly team" was born.


    Taking down another member, Jiang Siming knew the enemy''s teammates had already fled and wouldn''t come back to save him.


    So he didn''t finish him off right away and let him kneel on the road for a while longer, then turned around to pick up the blue shard.


    "Picked up [Detox and Beauty Pills Box] Blue Shard *1 (1/1), Shard count is full, can be used directly."


    [Detox and Beauty Pills]:


    Can eliminate most impurities and toxins in the body, revitalizing the skin and making you look more than ten years younger.


    When used by men, it can enhance spleen and kidney function; when used by women, it beautifies and enhances skin.


    Note: There are ten pills in one box, and each person can only consume one.


    This kind of thing exists? Isn''t this just a health supplement?


    But Jiang Siming thought about it¡ªthose so-called health supplements are just a mix of random Chinese and Western medicines claiming to have powerful effects like detoxification and beauty enhancement.


    But no matter how much you take, it doesn''t really do much; at most, it reduces heat and provides some nutrition. 99% of the detox and beauty products on the market are just supplements.


    However, since it was written on the shard, Jiang Siming firmly believed it was real. Anything produced by shards must be top-quality.


    "I''ll give this stuff to Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, and Little Sis. The rest can go to Xinyi, Sister Zhao, Jiang Lan, Dadai, and Tuantuan. Perfect distribution!"


    Jiang Siming chuckled, feeling fortunate that he didn''t have too many girlfriends; otherwise, there wouldn''t be enough to go around.


    He wouldn''t eat it himself; his physical condition was almost like an alien''s by now, so there wouldn''t be much benefit from taking it.


    After storing the shard, Jiang Siming drove out the car he had hidden.


    The downed RGS member was still lying on the ground, tossing items out. Even in death, he wanted to disgust Jiang Siming by making him search for his gear slowly. r?


    But Jiang Siming never intended to take his gear at all. He didn''t even bother to get out of the car; he just drove over the corpse and sped away.


    The camaraderie within 4am reminded many viewers of the old RNG team from League of Legends, though it lacked the ''bromance'' element.


    Back then, the friendships within RNG gained them a huge fanbase among LoL players. If it hadn''t been for the quarterfinal incident at Worlds 2018, they would have been the most popular team in the world.


    But alas, one match brought them back to reality, and now they had more haters than fans...


    Jiang Siming also believed that if their team performed poorly in this tournament like OMG often did, then forget about friendship¡ªeven if they staged a romance, they''d still face the wrath and ridicule of countless haters.


    This is the current problem in the esports industry¡ªresults are the only standard.


    If your performance is good, you can do whatever you want. If your performance is bad, even drinking water will make people say you''re lazy and wasting your life.


    Of course, this isn''t something unique to China. Every country is like this.


    Luckily, Jiang Siming doesn''t need to worry about that. His strength is enough to shut everyone up.


    A plane flew by and dropped a supply crate not far from Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming was incredibly bold, even though the crate landed in a dense forest full of trees, he still drove over.


    As soon as the car stopped near the crate, bullets started flying, but Jiang Siming hid behind the crate and avoided getting hit.


    However, his car wasn''t as lucky, and the tires were immediately shot out.


    Jiang Siming quickly grabbed everything from the supply crate and ran.


    He now had a ghillie suit. Dressed in the grass-green suit, he could lie in any patch of grass in the logging yard, throw away his frying pan, and even gods couldn''t spot him!


    Jiang Siming''s crossbow was still strapped to his back, but he swapped out his 98k for an AWM, complete with a silencer and an extended quick-draw magazine.


    Jiang Siming crouched in a bush, took his hands off the keyboard, and leisurely picked up the iced cola that Yoona brought him, taking a sip. It was sweet and cold¡ªso refreshing!


    Wei Shen and the others all gave him disapproving looks. Was this guy here to compete or to watch a movie? They had never seen anyone so relaxed while playing a game.


    After another sip, Jiang Siming felt like something was off.


    Wait, hold on... why is there a light red lipstick mark on the straw??? Someone drank from this? No wonder the straw smelled so good.


    At that moment, Yoona, sitting in the audience, also realized. She had bought two colas, one for Jiang Siming and one for herself.


    She had secretly drunk a bit from her own, but now she realized the one in her hand was still unopened.


    "Oh my god... I mixed them up..." Yoona felt utterly embarrassed.


    She could only pray that Jiang Siming either didn''t drink from that cup, or if he did, he didn''t notice anything strange...

 Chapter 120: Sneaky Masterclass?

    Jiang Siming, hiding in the lumberyard, remained undisturbed and conflict-free from the second zone all the way to the fourth zone.


    This area had always been a safe zone, with great circles, so Jiang Siming didn''t even need to move.


    Jiang Siming leisurely drank his cola without anyone coming to bother him.


    Meanwhile, Wei Shen and the other three were still struggling to escape the zone, while he had already taken a nap in the safe zone.


    "If I had known, I would''ve followed Brother Jiang to mess around," Wang Duoyu muttered.


    "Wang, what do you mean by that? Are you saying you don''t want to team up with me?" Wei Shen''s eyes bulged like an ox''s.


    "No, no, that''s not what I meant," Wang Duoyu gave up resisting.


    Because if he chose to resist, Wei Shen would use his twenty-plus years of "training" as a tank to beat him into submission...


    As it turns out, being fat has its perks, especially in a fight.


    "Old Jiang, be careful, someone''s heading your way, a whole squad!" Wei Shen spotted figures in the forest moving toward Jiang Siming.


    "That''s great, I was about to fall asleep here."


    Jiang Siming immediately perked up. At least he had proven one thing this round¡ªhe was not cut out to be a stealth player; he had too little patience.


    Rustling footsteps could be heard, getting closer and closer.


    Soon, Jiang Siming saw them: three people had arrived at the area around him.


    But they still hadn''t spotted Jiang Siming, hidden in the bushes. It was as if he were a pitiful child, surrounded by three big men, trembling and helpless.


    The audience watching couldn''t help but chuckle at this scene, while simultaneously getting tense, worried that Jiang Siming would be discovered.


    They were too close, and Jiang Siming wasn''t foolish enough to attack. At this distance, even a crossbow would make some noise.


    He had to wait a little longer¡ªgive me a chance to be a good person... wait, why am I thinking about *Infernal Affairs* now...


    But the three of them were holding their positions around him, not giving him any opportunities.


    One of them even used a mini14 to finish off a knocked-down enemy in the distance.


    "Player [omg_xiaohai] used mini14 to kill player [17_shox]."


    Jiang Siming saw this kill notification and felt a bit of a headache.


    He hadn''t expected these three to be allies, yet the allies were still attacking another squad of allies.


    This... is such a complicated situation...


    From start to finish, he didn''t plan on engaging in any gunfights, but this playstyle was so thrilling and fun!


    Jiang Siming''s tactics inspired countless players to adopt a stealthy approach, imitating his gameplay.


    As a result, today''s PUBG matches were full of ambushes, making the game experience miserable for many players.


    And the culprit? Still crouching in the grass.


    "Picked up [Barbus G800] Golden Fragment*1 (2/2), the fragment count is complete, it can now be used."


    Yes! He finally collected them all!


    Jiang Siming''s desired car was successfully collected, and he could drive it once he got back.


    In reality, Jiang Siming could afford an eight-million-dollar car, but there was no way he''d spend eight million on a simple means of transportation right now.


    You could say he was still afraid of being poor, but at least for now, Jiang Siming wasn''t going to splurge like that.


    But since the fragments were free, that was a different story.


    Continuing to hide in the bushes, there were now six loot boxes scattered not far from him.


    The circle refreshed again, and this time Jiang Siming was no longer in the safe zone, so he needed to move.


    Just as Jiang Siming was about to step forward, he heard the sound of someone crawling behind him.


    The sound was very faint. Without his enhanced hearing, Jiang Siming wouldn''t have caught it.


    Jiang Siming stopped moving and stayed still, quietly observing.


    Before long, a sneaky figure crawled right past him, squirming like a maggot under Jiang Siming''s nose.


    The person didn''t notice Jiang Siming at all and continued to crawl, feeling quite confident about his stealthy approach.


    This bizarre and hilarious scene made the audience hold back their laughter. "Dude, stop crawling, the person next to you has already seen you!"


    But the guy kept crawling, imagining himself making it to the final circle like Jiang Siming did in the second round, dreaming of taking out the remaining teams and securing a solo victory!


    After confirming that this player was alone, Jiang Siming aimed his crossbow at the back of his head and fired, shattering the poor guy''s dream.


    "This guy''s a clown."


    Jiang Siming couldn''t help but laugh as he took him out and then moved to leave.


    Before leaving, the guy''s loot box dropped a white fragment as well.

 Chapter 121: World’s Number One... Sneaky Master

    "picked up [master of pubg camouflage] white fragment*1 (1/1), fragment count is full, it can now be used."


    master of camouflage? there''s even such a skill?


    jiang siming immediately clicked to use it, and the knowledge and techniques of camouflage flooded into his mind.


    only now did jiang siming realize that camouflage wasn''t just about lying in the bushes with a ghillie suit.


    it involved many factors, such as enemy blind spots, their approach angles, and the size of cover.


    it even included things like the direction of sunlight, the best matching color of bushes for hiding, and more.


    it also taught jiang siming that even without a ghillie suit, simply changing his character''s appearance in the game lobby and selecting clothes that blend in easily could make him practically invisible.


    jiang siming felt like his knowledge had expanded. now, he could proudly say, "i am the world''s number one stealth master!"


    with this skill, jiang siming became even more formidable.


    after sneaking into the circle, jiang siming found another hiding spot.


    this time, he was even more concealed, as if he had become one with the bushes.


    forget about enemies; even the viewers in god''s-eye view could only see jiang siming''s id.


    "ming shen is hiding way too well; who can even spot him? you could walk right up to him and still miss him."


    "with skills like this, why are you a pro streamer? you should just be a full-time stealth master (laughs)."


    "i think the other teams'' nightmare is about to begin. if anyone finds him, i''ll eat my hat on livestream!"


    "66666, as a seasoned stealth master in pubg myself, i must bow to this level of expertise. master, please accept my humble salute!"


    ...


    boom! boom! boom!


    rat-a-tat-tat!


    biubiubiu!


    as the safe zone shrank smaller and smaller, the firefights grew more frequent, with battles breaking out from all directions.


    wei shen and his team were in an intense firefight with a japanese team on the other side.


    but jiang siming alone remained motionless in the grass, like a passive, carefree fish.


    he really wanted to help wei shen''s team, but they weren''t close to his location.


    so, all he could do was spectate and silently send them his blessings.


    wei shen''s team eventually managed to take down the japanese team but were unfortunately eliminated by the american team inc, who came to clean up.


    4am was left with just jiang siming, but there were only five teams left in the match.


    jiang siming had already secured seven kills, while 4am had five in total, giving them at least 17 points overall.


    if he took out the farthest, the others would assume the enemy wasn''t nearby, because logically, if someone were close, they would target the nearest enemy first.


    thunk!


    once again, jiang siming''s crossbow didn''t disappoint the viewers, not missing a single shot.


    the arrow pierced precisely into the back of the enemy''s helmet, deeply embedding itself.


    "someone shot me with a crossbow! it''s 4am''s ming!" shouted the captain of the canadian nv team.


    ming ¨C this id had appeared dozens of times on the kill feed in just four games.


    though they hadn''t encountered jiang siming before, in their eyes, he was a deadly killer, a powerhouse ¨C something that all the teams unanimously acknowledged.


    he often died early or got wiped out by other teams in the final circle, so they never got a chance to face him.


    now, having encountered him, the nv team was suddenly nervous.


    this was a team-wiping demon who had taken out plenty of korean and north american teams.


    jiang siming''s reputation preceded him. despite only having played four games, his id alone had become a force to be reckoned with.


    "god! why is this guy still using a crossbow? he used it at the start to kill aff and rgs! has he not changed his weapons this whole time?"


    the nv players were shocked while frantically searching for jiang siming''s whereabouts, hoping to locate and eliminate this "team-wiping monster."


    but they found nothing. they hadn''t even heard the sound of the crossbow shot.


    it wasn''t that they hadn''t heard it; jiang siming was cunning enough to wait for gunfire from others before firing his crossbow, masking the sound.


    since no one was shooting at the moment, jiang siming didn''t dare finish off the downed player.


    the nv player was revived and quickly found cover to heal.


    but unknowingly, he had taken cover directly in jiang siming''s line of fire.


    when another team started firing, jiang siming let loose another arrow.


    the nv captain fell again.


    "hey man, stop targeting me! i''m suffering here~" the nv player shouted in mock surrender, but since full voice chat wasn''t enabled in the game, jiang siming couldn''t hear him.


    as gunfire continued in the background, jiang siming reloaded his crossbow and fired again, downing another player.


    "i can''t find him! where the heck is he hiding?" the remaining two nv players were sweating, desperately throwing smoke grenades to revive their teammates.


    thunk!


    the third nv member fell.


    with one player left, jiang siming pulled out his awm and finished them with a single shot.


    "i should''ve done this earlier; wiping a team this easily was way too fun."


    jiang siming seemed to still want more...

 Chapter 122: Contact Me Anytime!

    looking at an entire squad being wiped out right in front of their eyes by jiang siming, viewers worldwide watching the live stream found it a bit unbelievable.


    is this... really the world championship?


    why does this person make killing and wiping out teams look so easy?


    this was the question that popped into the minds of all the viewers.


    earlier, they watched jiang siming''s godlike skills take out one team after another, but now they were seeing jiang siming use his intelligence to wipe out teams.


    there was no need to do anything complicated, no need to worry about much ¨C just hide well, stay hidden, and shoot accurately. that was enough.


    compared to those viewers trying to learn jiang siming''s technical skills, they were more willing to learn this style ¨C not because it looked cool, but simply because it was the only thing they could learn. the rest was too difficult...


    this squad was quite generous, giving jiang siming three fragments, two gold ones, and surprisingly, one was blue!


    before, he could barely get one, and now, two drops in one go.


    jiang siming couldn''t figure out how these fragments worked; the randomness was too high, with no discernible pattern.


    he could only rely on his luck and personal fortune.


    but it seemed like every time he used the crossbow, a blue fragment dropped. could it be that the sneakier his gameplay, the easier it was to get blue fragments?


    "picked up [louis vuitton flagship store in shanghai ifc] gold fragment *2 (2/3), incomplete fragment, cannot be used yet."


    "picked up [leukemia cure pill] blue fragment *1 (1/1), fragment complete, can be used directly."


    leukemia can be cured?


    jiang siming, with his proficiency in basic medical skills, knew exactly which diseases were curable and which were not.


    leukemia was a huge problem in world medicine; it wasn''t just a "disease," it was "cancer."


    while it could be cured, the conditions were harsh. it had to be detected at a very early stage and required chemotherapy, radiation therapy, blood transfusions, and bone marrow transplants.


    the first steps were torturous for the patient, and the final bone marrow transplant was a gamble, dependent on finding a compatible donor.


    leukemia was a difficult disease worldwide. even with his medical skills, jiang siming could only slow down the progression if he encountered it, but he couldn''t cure it.


    now, a single pill could cure leukemia? no one would believe such a thing.


    it seemed blue fragments were meant to drop pills, jiang siming thought. the pill was good, but there was only one.


    if he had a box of them, he could sell them, but with just one, he''d hold onto it for a rainy day.


    the audience wanted to see jiang siming, so of course, the host chose him first.


    "ming, do you know that your performance has broken many of pubg''s event records?" the beautiful host asked.


    "records are meant to be broken. even if i didn''t break them, someone else would eventually," jiang siming replied nonchalantly.


    "i''d like to ask, what were you thinking during the fourth match? why did you use the crossbow the entire time? have you practiced with this weapon before?"


    "our team''s points were already high, so we didn''t need to worry about advancing. i wanted to try a different playstyle. as for why i used the crossbow the whole time? i was too lazy to switch weapons."


    jiang siming''s answer was quite arrogant, causing wei shen and the others to give him disdainful looks, but jiang siming remained unfazed.


    what''s wrong with showing off? i have the skills and results to back it up, who dares to disagree?


    and indeed, no one thought jiang siming was just bragging.


    "one last question: i''ve heard from your teammates that you like big-breasted, simple-minded girls, is that true?" the beautiful host asked with a playful smile.


    jiang siming immediately responded righteously: "that''s a malicious slander from gao dewei! i am absolutely not such a shallow person. of course, if there are such girls, they are welcome to approach me anytime."


    pfft! hahaha...


    everyone burst into laughter.


    after the interview, the final two matches resumed.


    but for 4am, it didn''t matter anymore. they didn''t win chicken dinners and instead started deliberately controlling their points.


    they noticed that team 17 and omg had very low points, but omg''s score was too low to matter.


    team 17, however, was ranked ninth, so while taking a bathroom break, jiang siming and wei shen had a quick discussion.


    in the fifth and sixth matches, 4am purposely caused trouble for the major strong teams, especially focusing on the korean teams.


    then, in the final circle, they fought against team 17, where they "lacked skill" and charged recklessly, "accidentally" getting knocked out by their guns.


    they acted very well, approaching one by one, sometimes even knocking down one of the opponents before getting finished off by the remaining three.


    with team 17 also performing well and even winning a chicken dinner in the sixth match, their score shot up to second place, right alongside 4am.


    the korean teams collectively filed a complaint against 4am for match-fixing, but without any evidence, the organizers, tired of their complaints, completely ignored their requests.


    as for omg, they played so poorly earlier that even helping them wouldn''t have mattered. they, along with the three korean teams, would have to compete in the elimination rounds tomorrow.

 Chapter 123: Missing Mom Already?

    in these two matches, jiang siming collected [lv flagship store] and [lip reading mastery].


    he also received [3 million pounds], [new wong tea restaurant x1], and [starbucks cafe x1].


    most of what he got in the last two rounds were golden fragments. the only other fragment he obtained was another blue fragment: [stomach cancer cure pill] x1.


    no matter what fragment he got, jiang siming was happy. why refuse free treasures?


    he was now a hidden tycoon, owning a bunch of businesses. in a few days, he would go back to collect the earnings.


    finally, the day''s group matches came to an end. 4am won triumphantly and walked back to the hotel, chatting and laughing with team 17.


    omg, however, was dragged by their unhappy coach to netfish internet cafe for extra practice to prepare for tomorrow''s elimination matches.


    but jiang siming didn''t return with 4am; he was strolling down the street with a korean girl.


    "oppa, you really don''t need to walk me back..." lin yoona said, though her words didn''t match her true feelings.


    jiang siming wanted to tease her, so he purposely responded, "oh, in that case, i''ll head back."


    after saying this, he started walking away. in the blink of an eye, he disappeared around the corner of a street.


    yoona was stunned. she quickly ran back to find jiang siming, and as soon as she rounded the corner, there he was, leaning against a streetlight, smiling at her.


    "you... you''re so bad... i''m not talking to you anymore..." lin yoona said with a shy, angry tone, but her voice had no trace of real anger.


    jiang siming laughed and said, "i still don''t know your name."


    "guess." this time, it was lin yoona''s turn to ''counterattack''. she had to make the most of this opportunity.


    "don''t tell me your name is really lin yoona? i''ve noticed you always wear a mask, and your figure is so good. are you really a celebrity?" the more jiang siming thought about it, the more he felt this idea made sense.


    but the girl didn''t plan to answer him and playfully said, "if you safely walk me back to the hotel, i''ll tell you."


    "i think the task you''re giving me is actually quite difficult..." jiang siming suddenly looked behind lin yoona and said in a slow tone.no?v(el)b\\jnn


    "how can walking me back be difficult? oppa, you''re just a big bad guy who doesn''t want to walk me back, right?" lin yoona pouted and said in a hurt tone.


    "why don''t you turn around and take a look?"


    turn around and look?


    but before he could take two steps, jiang siming caught up with him and kicked him hard in the thigh. the young man, with the force of the kick and a possible fracture, slid across the london street.


    his face made intimate contact with the ground, leaving him with bloody scrapes.


    the young man howled in pain as jiang siming squatted in front of him and slowly asked, "still want to fight?"


    "no, no more! i was wrong... i''m sorry..." the young man sobbed, unsure whether from pain or fear.


    "how old are you?"


    "seventeen... my mom said she''d celebrate my 18th birthday in a few days."


    hearing his reply, jiang siming couldn''t help but chuckle a little.


    "now that you''re hurt, you think of your mom? why didn''t you think of her when you were picking a fight?"


    "i''m sorry... i''ll never do it again..." the young man tearfully pleaded.


    "seventeen years old, can''t tell right from wrong, harassing girls, not studying and causing trouble. i think if i break both your legs, you won''t be able to do bad things anymore. what do you think?" jiang siming asked with a ''serious'' tone.


    terrified, the young man immediately knelt down and kowtowed to jiang siming. maybe he learned it from chinese movies, because you don''t usually see british people doing that.


    "enough. take your gang and get lost. if i see you again, it won''t be as simple as a beating. i''ll kill you, and by the way, my specialty is killing people."


    it was obvious jiang siming was bluffing, but the young man believed him completely.


    with skills like his, how could he be an ordinary person? he must be an assassin, definitely an assassin.


    now the young man dared not disobey. he hurriedly gathered his friends, and they helped each other as they scrambled away.


    "why are you daydreaming? snap out of it." back by lin yoona''s side, jiang siming waved his hand in front of her eyes.


    coming back to her senses, lin yoona''s heart was completely captivated by jiang siming. a wave of admiration surged within her.


    in this world, the one thing that has never changed in winning a girl''s heart is the "hero saving the damsel in distress."


    "affection +15, current affection: 87. reward: one random red fragment."


    "oppa, thank you." lin yoona once again threw herself into jiang siming''s arms, resting her head on his chest like a bird finding shelter, her heart secretly devoted to him.

 Chapter 124: First Encounter at the London Dock

    jiang siming took a moment to glance at the red fragment.


    "picked up [mastery of hypnosis] red fragment*1 (1/4). the fragment count is insufficient, so it cannot be used for now."


    "now, can you tell me your name?" jiang siming asked, holding lin yoona with a very satisfied expression.


    lin yoona''s body was soft and supple, a telltale sign of someone who often danced.


    her skin felt cool and comfortable to the touch, and jiang siming''s hand had unconsciously moved to her waist.


    lin yoona no longer hid her identity. she removed her mask and cap, revealing her true self.


    a delicate face, milk-white skin.


    her innocent, doe-like eyes were clear, her nose soft and well-shaped, and her lips as delicate as flower petals.


    years of dancing had given her a tall, slender yet energetic and curvy figure, like a graceful mermaid.


    she was stunningly beautiful and full of charm.


    she was the dream girl of countless boys, and in china, lin yoona had many nicknames like ''wife,'' ''first love,'' and ''true love.''


    in reality, lin yoona''s appearance wasn''t as photogenic, as she looked much better in person than on screen.


    no wonder she had become a star with so many fans¡ªthere was a reason for it.


    even jiang siming''s heart wavered when he saw such an ethereal girl.


    to his surprise, it really was lin yoona. jiang siming felt as if he was seeing things. the coincidences in life were truly remarkable.


    a game streamer and a superstar, one from china, the other from korea, yet they crossed paths¡ªfate truly worked in mysterious ways.


    facing jiang siming for the first time with her full face revealed, lin yoona couldn''t help but feel a bit nervous and blush.


    she had already forgotten her superstar identity and status. at this moment, she was just a girl worrying whether the boy in front of her would be happy or disappointed to see her true self.


    meeting at the london docks for the first time, lin yoona couldn''t have imagined that her life, which she thought might remain single, would change so quickly after meeting jiang siming.


    once proud of being single, now she had become a silly girl completely dominated by love.


    the two stood at the corner of the london street, the dim streetlight serving as their backdrop.


    but the serenity was soon interrupted by jiang siming''s playful words.


    lin yoona, who had completely opened her heart to jiang siming, was smiling non-stop along the way. from time to time, she would act playfully, running into jiang siming''s arms, pouting, making flirty eyes, or sticking out her tongue.


    her iq kept dropping, but she didn''t even notice.


    after escorting lin yoona to her hotel, jiang siming finally returned to his own hotel.


    it wasn''t that he didn''t want to stay. with an affection level of 87, he could do whatever he wanted.


    but it just so happened that lin yoona was on her period, so there was no chance to do anything naughty. jiang siming had to act as a "gentleman" this time.


    however, they had a day off from the elimination rounds tomorrow, so they agreed to go on a date together.


    as for the elimination rounds, jiang siming had no interest in watching. it was just a bunch of noobs¡ªnone of them were as interesting to him as his yoona.


    the next day, before the sun even rose...


    there was a knock on jiang siming''s hotel door.


    still half asleep, jiang siming yawned and opened the door, immediately seeing lin yoona, who was all dressed up.


    before arriving, she had been wearing a mask and a hat, but now she had taken them off.


    that angelic face, which had already made jiang siming''s heart burn with desire the night before, was now standing gracefully at his door, her eyes smiling.


    "oppa, time to get up! you promised we''d go out at eight," lin yoona said with a playful grin.


    "ah, i overslept. come inside first, don''t let anyone see you," jiang siming said as he grabbed her delicate hand and pulled her into the room.


    as soon as the door closed, jiang siming pinned her against the wall by the door, his face close to hers, staring at her with a mischievous look in his eyes.


    lin yoona''s heart once again began to race uncontrollably. even though he had just woken up, hadn''t washed his face, and his hair looked like a bird''s nest, she was still completely captivated by jiang siming''s appearance.


    she had seen many handsome men in the entertainment industry, but in her eyes, none of them compared to her oppa¡ªthey were just ordinary faces.


    after a bit of cuddling, jiang siming kept his promise and went to brush his teeth and wash his face.


    lin yoona, not wanting to leave his side, hugged him from behind, following him wherever he went, completely embodying the image of a girl in love.


    while jiang siming brushed his teeth, she made funny faces behind him, trying to make him laugh.


    even though they had only met in person for less than a day, they were already so sweet and affectionate with each other, like a newlywed couple. it was enough to make anyone jealous!

 Chapter 125: We’ve Been Cheated On!

    jiang siming had just finished washing up and changing clothes when there was a knock on the door.


    "old jiang, open up! tell us honestly what you were up to last night. i heard from the coach that you came back late. were you sneaking around?"


    wei shen''s voice startled lin yoona, who thought it might be paparazzi catching her.


    jiang siming reassured her, saying it was nothing, and shouted to the door, "i''m sleeping, don''t bother me."


    "what sleep? come out and have some fun! we finally have a day off, and after the finals tomorrow, we''re heading back to china. you should come check out the british museum while we''re here!"


    "i''m not going, you go by yourself," jiang siming said dismissively. why would he go sightseeing with a bunch of guys when he had a beautiful celebrity with him?no?v(el)b\\jnn


    "come on, just open the door. the three of us, plus the coach, are all waiting for you. your entrance is way too grand," wei shen said, knocking loudly.


    jiang siming was speechless, not expecting even the coach to be there.


    "what should i do, oppa?" lin yoona asked nervously. she wasn''t worried about her identity being exposed, but rather the embarrassment of being caught secretly dating jiang siming.


    "don''t worry, just hide in the bathroom for a bit. i''ll handle them."


    jiang siming was more concerned about yoona''s identity being exposed. he didn''t mind for himself, but if word got out, it could have a significant impact on her.


    "okay." lin yoona obediently ran into the bathroom and closed the door, though it was slightly ajar, her little head peeking out from the crack... secretly watching.


    when jiang siming opened the door, wei shen and the others walked in ''politely,'' sitting down on the couch and crossing their legs.


    "i thought you were hiding someone in here. took you long enough to open the door," wei shen said, glancing around the room but finding no one.


    "i''m really not going. you guys go have fun," jiang siming said, not wanting to waste his time chatting with them. skipping a date with a beauty was practically a crime.


    "don''t say that! without you, the good-looking one, what''s the point of us going? no girls will even look at us. we need you to help us get numbers and photos."


    it turned out they had planned to use him as a ''social butterfly.''


    "i''ll be sure to pass that message on to mi fengzi. i''m sure she''ll be very ''touched'' and take extra ''special care'' of you," jiang siming retorted.


    "hey, don''t! old jiang, i was just joking. we just wanted you to come have fun with us. it''s rare to have some free time, and since you joined 4am, you haven''t participated in a single team outing."


    "yeah, xiao jiang, come out with us. we don''t speak english, and it''s inconvenient to go anywhere. plus, the translator caught a cold and can''t come," the coach chimed in.


    jiang siming felt torn. their reasoning made it hard for him to refuse.


    it seemed the coach was of the same mindset.


    jiang siming no longer hid anything. he knocked on the bathroom door and said, "yoona, come out. they''re all my friends, it''s fine."


    yoona? why did that name sound so familiar?


    the door quickly opened, and lin yoona stepped out of the bathroom, her face a little flushed. however, in front of strangers, her shy demeanor was quickly replaced by her star presence. in just a second, she regained her aura as a celebrity. facing wei shen and the others, she smiled gracefully, waving and politely greeting them in chinese, "hello."


    at the sight of lin yoona, not only wei shen and the others but even the married coach stood frozen on the spot.


    the four men stared wide-eyed at the girl, who was intimately clinging to jiang siming''s arm. a single thought kept repeating in their minds: "i''ve been betrayed!"


    "why does this girl look so familiar? why does she look so much like lin yoona?"


    finally, it was xiao xingmu who broke the silence, stammering as he asked, "brother jiang, is she... the lin yoona?"


    "authentic," jiang siming responded with a proud smile.


    "no way, i don''t believe it. this can''t be real," wei shen repeated in disbelief three times. this must just be someone who looks like her. it couldn''t be, it couldn''t be.


    how could a gaming streamer like jiang siming have landed a south korean superstar? this was lin yoona! the dream girl of countless male fans.


    even wei shen had once fantasized about what it would be like if lin yoona became his girlfriend. how wonderful that would be.


    this was normal. for guys, it''s perfectly natural to daydream about beautiful female celebrities. just like many girls fantasize about their favorite korean oppas being their husband.


    otherwise, how could lin yoona have so many fans? titles like "wife" and "first love" didn''t come out of nowhere.


    but at this moment, wei shen felt as if his teenage dreams had been shattered. his "wife" was now with his brother. he had been betrayed!


    "stop standing there like fools and stop staring, okay? this is my girlfriend. do you guys think it''s appropriate to act like this?" jiang siming teased, poking at their fragile hearts.


    "oppa, what''s going on?" lin yoona leaned close to jiang siming''s ear, her red lips slightly parted as she asked.


    "nothing, they''re just a bit shocked. we''ll head out soon."


    "okay, okay. mwah~" lin yoona happily gave jiang siming a quick peck on the cheek.


    this only further shattered their already broken hearts. "onii-chan! hasa-key! yamete!"

 Chapter 126: Come Be My Boss Lady!

    "old jiang, have you been hiding your true identity all along?" wei shen started letting his imagination run wild.


    "are you from some hidden wealthy family, out here to experience life?"


    jiang siming responded with an eye roll, annoyed as he said, "if i were from a hidden wealthy family, would i still need to compete in tournaments to make money?"


    "you can''t say it like that. maybe you''re out here on a trial, and your family has a rule that you have to earn a certain amount of money to inherit the family fortune. you''re desperately making money just to defeat your brothers and take the family throne."


    "can''t be bothered to deal with you, you lunatic."


    jiang siming didn''t want to continue talking to him, his wild imagination was clearly the result of being too deep in fantasies.


    "brother jiang, can i get lin yoona''s autograph? i really like girls'' generation," xiao xingmu asked hopefully.


    "no problem."


    "i want one too!" wang duoyu immediately shouted.


    getting this kind of privilege, being close to the source, made them very happy.


    even though they felt "betrayed," with jiang siming around, they could get loads of lin yoona''s autographs, something many otaku guys would kill for.


    "i want one too. my daughter loves girls'' generation," the coach spoke up, a bit embarrassed.


    "don''t forget me! both bee and i are fans, especially her."


    wei shen wasn''t going to miss out on this chance for some perks.


    "no problem, consider it hush money," jiang siming agreed easily.


    "aren''t you going to ask her first?" wei shen asked.


    "what''s there to ask? she wouldn''t dare refuse such a small request."


    with that, jiang siming asked lin yoona to sign a few autographs. she obediently signed more than a dozen without hesitation.


    "captain, take a look at brother jiang. now that''s a real man. then look at you, you can''t even get bee to order takeout for you," xiao xingmu rubbed salt in the wound.


    wei shen didn''t want to say anything. he was blue (sad), and felt like a mushroom...


    after satisfying their requests for autographs, everyone decided to head out together to explore london.


    fortunately, they were in the uk and not in china or korea, so lin yoona''s fame wasn''t as overwhelming. in less crowded areas, she didn''t need to wear a mask.


    the group first visited the thames river, which runs through the entire city of london. over a hundred years ago, due to the industrial revolution, the river was notoriously polluted and foul-smelling.


    but after more than a century of government efforts, the thames has been restored to a state of clarity, becoming one of london''s famous tourist attractions.


    for visitors wanting to enjoy the beauty of the thames, taking a cruise is the most relaxing option.


    if he had the funds and connections, starting an entertainment company wouldn''t be too difficult.


    of course, at first, it would be a small company, nowhere near the level of lin yoona''s current company.


    but this kind of thing can grow with time. the key is having access to a large pool of artists.


    and he''d need professionals to handle the operations, as jiang siming knew nothing about this field.


    "oppa, are you starting an entertainment company? of course, i''d be willing!"


    without asking if jiang siming''s company would be good or bad, lin yoona agreed immediately, without conditions.


    jiang siming felt touched, and with a light smile, he grasped her delicate hand and said:


    "i haven''t started it yet. i just had the idea. don''t you still have over a year left on your contract? i''ll use this time to try it out. if i succeed, will you come and be my lady boss?"


    lady boss...


    lin yoona''s face turned crimson, but she nodded happily in agreement.


    in the past, she had been all alone, with work being the sole focus of her life.


    but now lin yoona didn''t think that way anymore. earning money had become secondary¡ªlove was the only thing she wanted to hold onto now.


    "the boat is moving."


    the ship beneath them began to set sail, slowly making its way along the thames river.


    they passed through the heart of london, admiring the sights along the river: haggerford bridge, waterloo bridge, the london eye, shakespeare''s globe theatre, and other landmarks.


    all the buildings in london seem to carry the weight of history, making one feel as if they were standing in france a hundred years ago.


    the calm surface of the thames shimmered with golden light under the morning sun, as the boat moved slowly, and a gentle breeze swept across the river, dissolving any lingering worries.


    xiao xingmu and the others took out their phones, snapping photos non-stop. they turned to see what jiang siming was up to.


    as they looked back, they saw jiang siming holding lin yoona in his arms, the two pointing at the passing landmarks, chatting and laughing. their eyes were full of love and affection for each other.


    they didn''t need makeup or special angles¡ªno matter how they were photographed, it looked like scenes from a romance drama...


    "sigh, comparing myself to others only makes me mad. when will i ever find such a beautiful girlfriend?" xiao xingmu muttered, feeling he''d been fed a huge mouthful of dog food (jealousy), and even the scenery didn''t seem as appealing anymore.


    "brother, you can stop dreaming. find a girl first, and then we''ll talk. old jiang is different¡ªhe''s a freak, you can''t judge him by normal standards," wei shen advised, speaking earnestly.


    whatever xiao xingmu and wei shen were saying, jiang siming and lin yoona didn''t hear it at all. they were still lost in their own little world, even stealing a kiss when things got particularly sweet.


    it was unbearable to watch! one more glance, and their eyes might go blind...

 Chapter 127: I Want to Be a Hero!

    after swimming across the thames river, everyone went to the british museum, buckingham palace, elizabeth tower, and other famous landmarks.


    they played until the afternoon, then returned to the hotel, exhausted.


    "yoona, why don''t you stay with me tonight? i''m not comfortable with you staying alone at the hotel," jiang siming said with a mischievous smile.


    lin yoona''s face turned red instantly, stammering, "but... my luggage is still there..."


    "no problem, after the match tomorrow, i''ll go with you to get it."


    "but i need to shower..."


    "then wear my clothes. wash them tonight, and there''s a dryer in my room. you can wear them tomorrow."


    when it comes to these things, jiang siming never seemed to encounter any ''difficulties,'' always finding a solution easily.


    "but..." lin yoona''s hands nervously played with the hem of her shirt, her mind in turmoil.


    "no buts. it''s settled. besides, you''re on your period, so you don''t need to worry about me eating you up," jiang siming teased.


    "then... okay... but oppa, can you take me to the store to buy yogurt? i can''t sleep without yogurt..."


    "no problem, let''s go right now!"


    after returning to the hotel, jiang siming held lin yoona''s hand as they entered his room.


    luckily, wei shen and the others had already gone back to their rooms, otherwise, there would have been endless teasing.


    night had fallen, and in the bedroom...


    jiang siming, having finished his shower early, was lying shirtless on the bed while the sound of running water came from the bathroom.


    your adventure continues at empire


    through the frosted glass, he could vaguely see the graceful silhouette inside.


    water flowed from head to toe, a simple yet irresistible allure that captivated jiang siming.


    glancing at the ''tent'' he had pitched, jiang siming sighed and consoled himself:


    "buddy, it''s not that i don''t want to satisfy you today, but she''s on her period, nothing i can do. maybe i can find another way to satisfy you later..."


    he tried watching a london variety show on tv, but no matter how funny the blonde hosts were, nothing could distract him.


    after a while, the bathroom door finally opened.


    lin yoona, with her damp hair, walked out gracefully, still drying her hair with a towel.


    the next morning, when jiang siming woke up, lin yoona had already dressed herself and prepared a hearty breakfast for him.


    "oppa, you''re awake! hurry and get up to eat. after breakfast, if you''re still tired, you can go back to sleep. your match isn''t until the afternoon, there''s still time," lin yoona said gently.


    jiang siming noticed something was off and asked, "are you planning to leave?"


    lin yoona''s face, which had been hiding her sadness, finally revealed her emotions. she lowered her head and softly replied, "yes."


    "my manager, kim joo, wants me to go back. there''s an important event i need to attend, so i have to leave soon."


    as she spoke, the always-smiling lin yoona''s eyes filled with tears.


    just as they had started their passionate relationship, they were already facing separation. lin yoona''s heart was filled with reluctance.


    jiang siming pulled her into his arms, stroking her hair, comforting her, "it''s okay, we''ll see each other again soon. every goodbye is just preparation for a better reunion."


    "mm, i''ll wait for you. as long as i have time, i''ll come to china to visit you," lin yoona said through her sobs.


    at that moment, she suddenly wanted to beg jiang siming to quickly establish his company¡ªany kind of company¡ªso she could immediately transfer over.


    she even toyed with the idea of quitting the entertainment industry.


    no matter how glamorous or prestigious the stage or concert was, it couldn''t compete with jiang siming''s place in her heart.


    "alright, i''ll come visit you in korea when i have time. you better take good care of yourself, understand? no dieting! if you get any skinnier, i won''t go easy on you," jiang siming teased with a smile.


    lin yoona cried even harder, resting her head on jiang siming''s shoulder, her tears falling like raindrops, making her look so delicate and pitiful.


    fortunately, jiang siming kept soothing her, and she gradually calmed down.


    after breakfast, jiang siming accompanied her to the hotel to collect her luggage and personally escorted her to the airport.


    before going through security, lin yoona kept looking back, step by step.


    her face, partially hidden behind her mask and sunglasses, couldn''t hold back the tears that soaked her clothes.


    even after she had left, jiang siming let out a long sigh.


    her tears had made his heart ache as well. it seemed he really needed to start planning the entertainment company soon.


    if he could bring lin yoona back to china, he''d probably become the hero and role model for all the men in the country.


    "i need to put this plan into action quickly. i''m going to be a ''hero''!" jiang siming resolved.


    his determination was so intense that a little kid nearby got scared, thinking he was a bad guy, and ran back to his parents for protection.

 Chapter 128: Rebounding Throwables

    london time 3 pm, the final day of the fgs finals has arrived as scheduled!


    yesterday''s elimination match saw omg still unable to withstand the wildcard team, regretfully bidding farewell to the fgs stage.


    i heard they rushed to catch a plane back this morning, probably too embarrassed to stay in london any longer.


    thinking back to last year, omg shone brilliantly on the stage and took the championship.


    bluehole even made special team uniforms and exclusive weapons with the omg logo for them.


    even the highest billboard in the picado boxing ring on the desert map had the letters "omg" on it. they were the center of attention and unstoppable at the time.


    but who could have known that in just a year, omg would fall so far, from first place to last. the blow was too harsh.


    however, in competitions, it has always been a case of "the winner takes all." teams that fall from grace don''t get much attention or screen time.


    all three korean teams were playing in the elimination matches yesterday. however, with no interference from 4am, two of the korean teams successfully advanced, with only aff being eliminated.


    this was exciting news for korean viewers, as their championship dreams were reignited. they believed their country''s teams could sweep 4am in the finals and reclaim their honor by taking first place!


    of course, they are confident, but whether rgs and vsg share the same confidence is another matter.


    the most watched team this year is undoubtedly 4am.


    this legendary team, which set records by winning four consecutive chicken dinners in the group stages, became the focal point for countless pubg fans worldwide.


    especially jiang siming, who is being spoken of as a myth, a superhero.


    what kind of performance he will deliver today is the question on everyone''s mind.


    compared to the last two days of the competition, the central stage of the venue now features a massive trophy¡ªthis is the trophy for this year''s champion.


    at this moment, the live streams on major platforms in china are already packed with viewers.


    just the douyu stream alone has more than 20 million viewers.


    "hurry up, i''ve got work tomorrow."


    "waiting for 4am to win the championship! i''ll stay up all night if i have to!"


    "watching with my roommates, we''ve got bbq and beer ready, waiting for god ming to be crowned a legend!"


    "he''s already a legend! the group stages were a myth!"


    "the group stage and finals are different. the teams in the finals are the top 16 out of 24 teams worldwide, all incredibly strong."


    "go 17!"


    ...


    the other team noticed it too and sent two players over to grab the vehicle.


    but when they opened their parachutes and tried to land, they were dumbfounded. jiang siming was several seconds faster and was already sitting on the motorcycle.


    "baka, retreat! go loot elsewhere!" ordered kanegawa rojitsu, the captain of japan''s bb team.


    however, the two players had already opened their parachutes, and there was nothing but barren sand dunes around them. it was too late to pull away, so they had no choice but to land on a distant dune, planning to run away.


    there was no way jiang siming would let them get away so easily. ignoring his teammate who had landed nearby, he revved the motorcycle and charged toward the two players.


    "shibai! shibai! find cover quickly!" kanegawa rojitsu panicked, trying to find cover, but the nearest rock was 50 meters away.


    jiang siming''s motorcycle was already behind him. he tried to dodge, but jiang siming hit him head-on, sending him flying.


    after knocking him down, jiang siming didn''t stop and ran over the second bb player as well.


    xiao xingmu came over and punched both players to finish them off.


    ding!


    one of the loot boxes glowed with a white light.


    jiang siming got off the bike and picked it up.


    xiao xingmu teased with a smile, "brother jiang, that was an easy kill, and you still want to loot his gear?"


    "i''m just checking out his outfit style," jiang siming replied, almost making xiao xingmu choke on his own spit.


    "picked up [throwable deflection] white fragment *1 (1/2). fragment count incomplete, cannot use yet."


    throwable deflection? what the hell?


    jiang siming checked the skill description. it explained that this skill could deflect 100% of any throwables back at the enemy, but it required a frying pan.


    damn! this skill was awesome!


    if he managed to collect it and use it, when someone threw a grenade at him, he could swat it back with a frying pan!


    just imagining the move felt so flashy and cool! it was the perfect skill for showing off and being stylish!


    too bad he needed another piece. jiang siming wasn''t discouraged though, he''d find it sooner or later.


    he got back on the motorcycle, picked up xiao xingmu, and headed toward the military base.


    he really wanted to kill the remaining two bb players, but after seeing their teammates get killed, and realizing it was jiang siming, the killing god, who took them down, the two japanese players ran for their lives like they had seen the plague.


    jiang siming almost wanted to tell them, "don''t be scared. i just want to kill you, no need to be so nervous."

 Chapter 129: Xiao Dezi Wants to Be the Crown Prince!

    the group arrived at the military base and spread out to loot.


    the military base is a place with very rich resources on the desert map, and it''s easy to loot, though the buildings are a bit far apart.


    many rookies like to loot on foot, but in reality, using a car would be much faster.


    in less than two minutes, the military base was completely cleaned out by 4am.


    "old jiang, old jiang, sniper, sniper!"


    wei shen, who found the sniper rifle, rushed excitedly to present it to jiang siming like he had found a great treasure.


    "hmm, little dezi, you''re thoughtful, you may leave now," jiang siming said in an emperor''s tone, mimicking the voice of zhang tielin, a famous actor known for playing emperors, and it was quite accurate.


    "dezi your grandpa! how could i possibly be a eunuch?" wei shen said angrily.


    "then what are you?"


    "at the very least, i''d be a crown prince... no, no, i should at least be a prime minister."


    "hahaha, i approve, i approve. you''re the crown prince, hahaha..." jiang siming let go of his keyboard, clutching his stomach and laughing heartily.


    xiao xingmu and wang duoyu also burst out laughing like geese, and even wei shen couldn''t help but laugh awkwardly.


    the referee behind them looked utterly confused. what happened to this team all of a sudden? did they have a seizure?


    the director''s camera happened to catch 4am, and the audience was just as confused as the referee. what''s up with the four of them? why are they laughing so much?


    "it seems like the atmosphere at 4am is great. they must be having a lively conversation, just look at how bright ming shen''s smile is."


    qianyi''s eyes once again focused on jiang siming''s face on the screen, no matter how much she looked, she never got tired of it. what should she do~~


    "a good team atmosphere is a positive thing. this way, the players won''t be nervous and can perform at their best."


    cheng hui''s words turned out to be a jinx. while jiang siming was still laughing, he was suddenly knocked down by someone!


    gasps erupted everywhere. this was an ambush!


    looking at the game screen again, the korean team vsg had landed at t-town, not far from the military base.


    after looting, they immediately set up an ambush outside the military base.


    jiang siming and his team were laughing so hard that they were completely unprepared. jiang siming, sitting in the car, exposed his position and got sniped by vsg with a 98k!


    the korean viewers almost jumped up in excitement.


    "good kill! that''s what you get for laughing!"


    "kill that bastard!"


    "laughing? is it really that funny? did you really think you were a god?"


    "such an obedient gun, i like it," jiang siming quipped mischievously, as if he could talk to the gun, which was quite frightening.


    after taking down two, jiang siming finally leisurely applied a medkit.


    wei shen and the others, seeing jiang siming instantly take down two enemies, weren''t surprised anymore, they were used to it.


    they just said one word, "awesome," before the three of them spread out, preparing to surround the remaining vsg members.


    "nobody move, let me get some revenge. i lost my level 2 helmet that i worked hard to find. i can''t stand it."


    jiang siming had no intention of letting these guys go. after recovering, he immediately got back in the pickup truck and charged straight out of the military base, heading directly towards the slope where vsg was positioned.


    the vsg members, two of whom were reviving each other, heard a vehicle approaching but didn''t want to give up. they intended to finish reviving their teammates first.


    just as the two downed teammates were about to get up, a pickup truck flew over the top of the slope.


    due to inertia, the truck flew to a certain height before its front end tilted downwards, crashing towards the ground.


    it landed right next to the four vsg members.


    the four vsg players were overjoyed¡ªthis guy just drove straight into their faces! in just one more second, their teammate would be revived, and jiang siming would be dead for sure!


    as they were thinking this, the pickup''s front end hit the ground, but the vehicle''s body flipped over due to the weight of the front, directly onto the heads of the four vsg members.


    "i curse your father!"


    vsg''s captain blurted out in chinese.


    right after he said that, the truck landed on them, and the four of them, unable to dodge in time, were instantly crushed into meat patties by the vehicle!


    "quadruple kill!"


    jiang siming was stunned, wei shen was stunned, the commentators were stunned, and the audience was even more bewildered.


    what just happened? the truck flipped, and all four of them were done for?


    pfft!


    no one knew who started it, but suddenly the entire venue was infected, and everyone burst into laughter.


    this was such an absurd moment. a whole team getting crushed to death by a flipping truck in the world finals... how comical!


    "hahaha... this is such a tragic story for vsg, but i still want to laugh."


    "my conscience tells me i shouldn''t laugh at this, unless i can''t help it, 23333..."


    "is ming killing people this casually now?" read new adventures at empire


    "the truck: my move was unbeatable!"


    "poor vsg, they''re destined to be background characters again, this time in the funniest way possible."

 Chapter 130: Quickscope and Instascope!

    no one expected the battle to end this way.


    vsg''s morale was shattered, nearly to the point of tears.


    they had only themselves to blame for being so stubborn. after getting crushed in the group stage, they came to the finals to give away points again.


    many korean spectators were starting to suspect that vsg had been bribed by 4am to throw the match...


    "i''ve never killed anyone like this before. i hope i get another chance to kill you guys like this in the future."


    while looting, jiang siming didn''t forget to mock them. luckily, the vsg players didn''t hear him, or they might have come over for a real-life showdown.


    jiang siming held two fragments in his hand.


    "picked up [master hypnosis technique] red fragment *1 (2/4), fragment count incomplete, cannot be used yet."


    "picked up [gurkha bla cigar box] gold fragment (1/1), fragment count complete, can be used immediately."


    he was halfway to mastering hypnosis, and the gbd cigars reminded jiang siming of something.


    he remembered now ¡ª when he was out socializing, a company chairman had once mentioned that someone had gifted him a box of these gbd cigars from abroad.


    each one cost over a thousand us dollars. at the time, jiang siming calculated that one cigar from the box was worth what he spent on a year''s supply of his favorite lihua cigarettes. it was ridiculously extravagant.


    now jiang siming had a box of his own, containing ten packs, each with ten cigars. wow, that''s nearly $100,000 right there.


    after the match, he''d definitely light one up ¡ª he was curious to see what made a cigar worth over a thousand dollars compared to his beloved lihua cigarettes.


    after cleaning up their gear, the four of them set off and left the military base.


    while wei shen and the others were still immersed in mocking vsg, jiang siming was cool as ever, never bothering to mock or ridicule others. he always solved problems with bullets.


    why bother taunting when you could wipe out the team? it was much more efficient.


    the desert map was vast, but even so, it was easy to spot enemies. with no trees for cover, just buildings and open desert, it was hard for anyone to hide.


    right after leaving the military base, jiang siming immediately spotted a team driving away from the water treatment plant after looting.


    "let''s go! my bike is the fastest. i''ll run ahead to block them. you guys follow up."


    with that, jiang siming''s feet left the ground, and he grabbed the motorcycle''s handlebars, twisting the throttle all the way.


    the speedometer on the bike shot up to 120, and he zoomed forward like a flash of lightning.


    pubg paid great attention to detail in many areas. for example, when driving, the speedometer would move, and when turning, the steering wheel would shift accordingly.


    many players without driving licenses could probably pass the driving test after playing pubg for long enough. some even practiced parking maneuvers in the game just to get better in real life (laugh-cry).


    this type of quick-scoping requires a lot of practice and skill, but those who can master it are almost unbeatable in a gunfight.


    however, quick-scoping is a level below instant-scoping, which is considered the pinnacle of sniping skills in the game.


    instant-scoping involves not scoping at all, relying solely on muscle memory while accounting for bullet drop and range adjustments.


    it is ten times harder than instant-scoping in crossfire, because in crossfire, guns have no recoil, and bullets don''t have ballistic drop. you just need to memorize a single point and practice it to master it.


    this is why, when jiang siming''s instant-scope technique was showcased in the group stage, it received overwhelming applause.


    in the competition, no one else could use instant-scoping to kill, but jiang siming could.


    alow was very confident in his quick-scope shot. he was sure that even if he didn''t hit the head, he would at least land a body shot.


    but in reality, he missed.


    "did he dodge it so precisely? was it luck, or intentional?"


    alow furrowed his brows, feeling suspicious.


    unconvinced, he saw jiang siming peek out again. he immediately tried to quick-scope once more, not believing that jiang siming could dodge his bullets twice!


    bang!


    alow fired.


    boom!


    jiang siming''s sniper rifle fired as well.


    the god''s-eye view locked in on both players.


    both snipers shot a bullet toward the other.


    jiang siming''s bullet, fast, precise, and deadly, hit alow''s head.


    meanwhile, alow''s bullet was dodged by jiang siming''s crouch and side movement once again!


    "oh! alow is down too! is there really no one who can out-snipe ming?" the hook-nosed commentator said, feeling sorry for alow as he had high hopes for him.


    the bearded commentator stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "alow''s sniping is indeed strong, but not as strong as ming''s. ming is the best sniper i''ve ever seen."


    "alright, i admit you''re right. but stk is in trouble now. with their best player alow down, stk will have to split their forces to revive him, and godv and his team are definitely going to seize the opportunity to strike them while they''re down."


    the hook-nosed commentator was absolutely right. in such a high-level match, if one player suddenly goes down, the situation becomes dangerously precarious.

 Chapter 131: Anti-PUBG Tactics

    stk never expected to encounter 4am, and alow realized that the person who killed him was ming. lying on the ground, he recalled the details and techniques of their gunfight, and couldn''t help but fully acknowledge jiang siming''s superiority.


    "my sister has always been proud of my sniping skills, but after watching this match, she probably won''t see me as her idol anymore," alow remarked, still in good spirits despite the situation.


    "you should be more worried about whether we can survive. 4am definitely won''t let us go," the team captain said with a bitter smile as he helped alow up.


    "help me up. i''ll move to the back and take on the others, while you suppress ming," alow suggested.


    the captain''s eyes lit up. it was a good idea, and the story of tian ji''s horse race strategy was well-known worldwide.


    since ming was so strong, the captain would focus on containing him. as long as he didn''t expose himself, jiang siming shouldn''t be able to kill him.


    letting their strongest player, alow, take on wei shen (godv) increased their chances of breaking through from behind.


    alow got up without even having time to heal, immediately ran to the back, and, spotting an opportunity, quick-scoped xiao xingmu, who had accidentally exposed himself for too long.


    xiao xingmu was knocked down, and stk was greatly encouraged.


    jiang siming also noticed that the person he was facing had changed. this new player wasn''t engaging in a direct fight but kept throwing grenades and flashbangs in his direction.


    seeing xiao xingmu get knocked down by alow, jiang siming understood their plan.


    "they want to hold me down while attacking from behind. it''s a great idea, but it won''t work on me."


    jiang siming propped up a motorcycle lying on the ground, got on, and sped toward the right slope near stk''s position.


    the slope was far from stk and had very little cover, so even wei shen''s team didn''t dare approach it.


    but jiang siming, with his exceptional skills, boldly parked on the slope, giving him a clear view of all of stk''s movements.


    stk noticed jiang siming and immediately sent two members to suppress him with a barrage of bullets.


    on the high slope, jiang siming began a spiral movement, dodging bullet after bullet with incredible agility.


    "oh my god! is this the body movement technique i''ve seen in chinese martial arts films?" one commentator exclaimed.


    "how is this possible? does ming have some sort of built-in dodge skill?" the other commentator cried out in amazement.


    previously, they had only seen jiang siming''s gunplay, driving skills, and even his mastery of the crossbow. but they never expected him to have such exceptional movement techniques as well!


    in pubg, movement techniques are almost non-existent because it''s hard to turn quickly, as the game factors in weight and inertia.


    it''s nearly impossible to change direction so smoothly, but jiang siming was making the impossible possible.


    he moved with precision, every step seeming pre-planned. each time he shifted his body, bullets passed just behind him.


    if he had only dodged a few bullets, it might have been called luck, but he was up against two professional players, each firing nearly a full magazine at him!


    but no one expected that just as this gap was opened, jiang siming would seal it shut with a mix of steel and concrete.


    not just this gap, but he effectively sealed off the entire stk, leaving no chance for them to break through.


    can you say stk is weak?


    there''s only one conclusion: jiang siming is too ''superhuman''!


    even if 4am doesn''t win the championship today, ming''s performance is enough to steal the spotlight and become the unofficial king in everyone''s hearts.


    "guigui, lao jiang, you''re going to be praised by the whole world for this!" wei shen said with foresight.


    he was also very envious; he wished he could pull off such moves as well.


    "another four kills! brother jiang, you''re my big brother, my real brother!"


    "brother jiang, will you take in disciples? the kind that kneels and worships!"


    jiang siming jokingly told him to get lost before he ran off to loot the corpses.


    meanwhile, in the backstage of an advertising company in busan, south korea, the members of girls'' generation, who were chatting and relaxing in the makeup room, were suddenly startled by a joyful scream.


    "yoona, why are you screaming? that''s so scary!"


    "since you got back, you''ve been glued to your phone. what are you doing?"


    "yoona, come clean. what were you doing in london?"


    "i accidentally saw her phone wallpaper today, and there''s a handsome guy''s face on it!"


    "really? let me see it quickly~"


    ...


    a similar scene unfolded in china.


    in the live streaming room of dai xiaomei, she was laughing and jumping around, waving her arms like a female gorilla.


    "my brother ming is so amazing! he wiped out a team and won a hundred thousand cash! i''m so happy today!"


    in the live streaming room of the well-known streamer pigff zhu fangfang, pigff asked three consecutive questions.


    "did you all see that clearly? did you see it clearly? did you see it clearly? ming''s operation this time is divine; it''s not an exaggeration!"


    fans joked, teasing him that he didn''t even play, so why was he so excited? ming doesn''t even know him.


    "it doesn''t matter that he doesn''t know me now, but! he will know me soon! because! i have evolved into his loyal fan! when he returns to stream, i will go and support him!"

 Chapter 132: Orange Fragments

    "picked up [water repelling pill] blue shard *1 (1/1), the shard count is complete, it can be used directly."


    "picked up [hypnosis mastery] red shard *1 (3/4), the shard count is incomplete, it cannot be used yet."


    "picked up [limited edition pink lexus lfa] gold shard *1 (1/1), the shard count is complete, it can be used directly."


    a stroke of luck, three shards in a row!


    jiang siming was overjoyed.


    the blue shard turned out to be a [water repelling pill], which, according to the description, allows the user to breathe underwater for ten hours!


    it seems these blue shards aren''t just for medicine, but also functional items. this magical water repelling pill is quite extraordinary.


    he was only one shard away from completing hypnosis mastery.


    the gold shard even gave him a car. the car was worth about a million, not too expensive, but it was a limited edition pink lexus series.


    this car was very stylish and highly favored by female drivers. jiang siming was just thinking of getting a car for wang xinyi to make her commute easier, and this one would be perfect for her.


    after looting stk''s items, jiang siming and wei shen quickly made their way to the safe zone.


    even though some time had passed, the two official commentators were still enthusiastically discussing jiang siming''s series of brilliant moves.


    later in the match, 4am secured a central spot, holding it all the way to the final circle. with the circle of destiny on their side, they had a full team and a great position.


    as expected, 4am took down five more enemies and won the match!


    unfortunately, jiang siming didn''t get any of those five kills, as he had weakened the enemies, but wei shen and the others finished them off.


    because jiang siming''s earlier play against stk had stirred them up, the guys didn''t want to be criticized for just following behind jiang siming and waiting for easy kills.


    so they played aggressively, rushing for kills like sharks smelling blood.


    jiang siming was generous, letting them have the kills. after all, they were a team, and it wouldn''t look good if he hogged all the kills while his teammates got none.


    but not getting any shards did leave jiang siming feeling a bit bitter.


    even though he didn''t get any kills later on, jiang siming still stood out with 10 kills, far ahead of everyone else.


    the rest of the team combined had 7 kills, and with the points from winning the match, they earned a total of 27 points.


    the second-place team, tl, only had 10 points. the gap was already this big after the first game.


    "uh... hold on, stay calm. i need to grab something real quick. i''ll be back soon!"


    "how soon?"


    "i''ll be back after circling the map."


    "...."


    there was nothing wei shen could do. jiang siming was already on the boat, far away, and it was too late for him to turn back.


    the military boat cruised through the waves as jiang siming finally arrived at the shard''s location, only to find another boat approaching the airdrop, with just one person on board.


    without hesitation, jiang siming switched seats, pulled out the only gun he had, a ump9, and started shooting at the guy.


    "are you kidding me? you think you can kill me with a ump?" the guy sneered, but in the next second, he fell off his boat with a thud and splashed into the sea.


    jiang siming put away his gun, jumped into the sea, and picked up the orange shard floating on the surface, finally feeling a weight lift from his heart.


    "picked up [yin-yang harmony technique] orange shard *1 (1/1), the shard count is complete, it can be used directly."


    [yin-yang harmony technique]: a foundation-establishing technique, supplemented by the secret art of intercourse between men and women, harmonizing yin and yang. the more frequently it is practiced, the faster the foundation is established.


    what followed was a detailed introduction to the specific content and methods of the yin-yang harmony technique, consisting of nine main styles.


    in short, the descriptions were both suggestive and explicit. to summarize in one sentence:


    the more women you are with, the stronger your body becomes, the deeper your power grows, and your skills in that area will continuously improve.


    not only would he benefit, but the women who had been with him would also gain many advantages, like nourishing their yin energy, enhancing their beauty, prolonging their life, and so on.


    jiang siming was speechless. truly speechless.


    this shard, he simply...


    loved it too much!


    for someone like him, this was incredibly useful¡ªnot only could it elevate his skills in certain ''affairs,'' but it also allowed him to cultivate and build a foundation, something straight out of a mythological novel.


    "i definitely have to practice this well when i get back!"


    feeling thrilled, jiang siming happily tucked the shard away and set off again to find the airdrop.

 Chapter 133: Reconstructing the Scene

    in the airdrop crate, there was a groza. jiang siming rarely picked up this gun, but its power was immense, and it could only be equipped with a suppressor¡ªno compensator could be used.


    just as he came ashore, jiang siming received bad news¡ªwei shen and the others were wiped out for nothing.


    they were caught between two teams, and all three of them were killed without scoring any points.


    "there was nothing we could do. it''s a good thing old jiang didn''t come, or we might have been wiped out too."


    wei shen didn''t blame jiang siming and was actually relieved.


    but jiang siming knew that if he had been there, things wouldn''t have turned out this way. it was his fault this time¡ªbecause of that shard, wei shen and the others suffered a silent loss.


    "this one''s on me, but don''t worry, brothers, i will avenge you."


    jiang siming said confidently. the two teams that killed them were thailand''s ag and japan''s bb teams.


    it showed that team bb provoked xiao xingmu and the others, and after the fight, ag came in for a sneak attack.


    caught from both sides, 4am was unfortunately taken down.


    "this isn''t your fault. haven''t you already carried us with enough points? it was just bad luck this time. don''t worry, just play your game," wei shen consoled.


    "brother jiang, how about you use a crossbow and go full stealth again? it''s the island map, so you could probably sneak your way to a chicken dinner," xiao xingmu suggested.


    it was true that if jiang siming chose to play stealthily, with his camouflage skills, getting into the top ten would be no problem at all.


    but jiang siming firmly refused.


    "playing stealth is too boring, and the score will be low. this time, i''m going to go all out and see how many kills i can get." jiang siming said with a serious expression.


    xiao xingmu and the others were all stunned. did that mean... he hadn''t been playing at full strength this whole time? he''s been holding back?


    is this guy some kind of monster?


    this thought popped into the minds of all three.


    as jiang siming got serious, he even sat up straight and stopped talking to wei shen and the others, focusing intently on the screen.


    retrieving his car from the shore, he headed straight toward the school.


    not long after, while passing l harbor, his car was shot at. the attackers were three people, likely the teammates of the unlucky guy who had come looking for the airdrop earlier.


    jiang siming got hit twice, but with his level three armor, he barely lost any health.


    another three shots, and he holstered his gun, not even wasting a single bullet.


    this entire maneuver happened in the blink of an eye.


    in less than a second, just as the two aw1 members raised their guns to aim and shoot, jiang siming had already completed all of his actions.


    in other words, before the two aw1 members could even fire a single shot, jiang siming had already killed them both.


    it was simply unreal. who could move that fast?


    first, he killed one, then instantly aimed at the second and killed him too. there was no noticeable gap between the actions.


    if not for the referees repeatedly verifying it, even the chinese audience would have thought jiang siming was using cheats.


    this was no different from using an aimbot! does this guy even need to aim? it was terrifying!


    untouched and unscathed, jiang siming''s level 3 armor was still intact after taking out the entire team.


    the loot boxes dropped another white shard.


    "picked up [projectile rebound] white shard *1 (2/2), shard count complete, can be used immediately."


    with the skill shards collected, jiang siming clicked to use them, then looted a frying pan and an sks sniper rifle from their boxes.


    after grabbing some meds, he hopped into their car without looking back and drove off to the next location.


    the info in the top-right corner of the screen was visible to all the players from every team.


    they all winced¡ªthis guy really was a squad-wiping maniac. from the group stage until now, who knows how many teams he''d wiped out solo?


    many players felt a chill just hearing his name. this guy was a demon!


    the most terrified teams right now had to be japan''s team and thailand''s team. they had just wiped out three members of 4am, and now jiang siming had eliminated aw1.


    if jiang siming found them, he definitely wouldn''t let their teams go.


    they were just hoping someone else would take out this demon before he got to them. they didn''t want to be the next target.


    "everyone stay sharp and keep your eyes peeled," the captains of both teams gave orders at the same time, feeling incredibly uneasy. this was unbearable.


    if they had known this would happen, they wouldn''t have targeted 4am. not only did the two teams split the measly three points, but now they had to face jiang siming''s wrath.


    especially the thai team. they regretted it deeply¡ªwhy couldn''t they resist the temptation to attack?

 Chapter 134: Three Teams Entangled, with Favorable Skies

    jiang siming drove the new car around the island map, specifically heading to places where people could easily hide. he drove the car extremely fast, constantly swerving the front of the vehicle, making it very difficult for enemies to land a shot even if they spotted him.


    wei shen and his teammates watched from the side, as if they were witnessing the domestic top streamer competition.


    back then, he was just like now, riding a motorcycle everywhere, hunting people down and instantly killing anyone he saw.


    but that was a streamer competition, with players of varying skill levels, and it was in solo mode.


    this time, it''s a four-man squad match, and it''s the world finals.


    wei shen wanted to kneel and beg jiang siming, "big bro, please take it easy, play it safe, will you? our hearts can''t take this..."


    but since jiang siming was focused, they didn''t dare disturb him. if they caused him to make a mistake, it would be on them.


    the car drove around l harbor and then towards p city. since p city was likely occupied by team 17, jiang siming avoided it, not wanting to accidentally shoot his allies.


    he drove the car near the bunker area.


    just as he arrived, a bullet from a 98k sniper rifle came flying from the bunker.


    fortunately, jiang siming had been constantly swerving the front of the car, so the shot missed.


    it was a team hiding in the bunker, one person at each of the four entrances.


    when one of them fired, the other three immediately rushed to support that entrance.


    however, they didn''t dare step out to shoot, afraid of being sniped, so they hid at the bottom of the stairs by the entrance, ready to retreat at any time if they were shot at.


    all four of them crowded at one entrance, three sniper rifles and one semi-automatic sniper, creating a powerful firing line.


    jiang siming was a bit annoyed by their shots. in a bold move, he slammed the gas pedal and charged directly at the bunker entrance.


    the four enemies realized something was wrong and quickly switched to assault rifles to spray him down.


    in fact, if they had switched to their rifles earlier, jiang siming would have likely jumped out of the car or the vehicle would have already exploded.


    but by the time they switched to rifles, they only got off a couple of shots before jiang siming''s car crashed into them.


    "ahhhh! run!"


    the four players, from the vietnamese team, panicked when they saw jiang siming''s car charging toward them, and frantically tried to run deeper into the bunker.


    however, jiang siming''s car fit perfectly into the bunker entrance and chased them down the stairs.


    the entrance was a straight tunnel leading down with no cover, and jiang siming''s car ran over them one by one, killing them all in succession.


    another four kills!


    the audience was in awe. "is this even possible? this is too much!"


    after taking out the japanese team, jiang siming''s position was completely exposed, and the remaining two teams began firing at him.


    it was as if they had come to an unspoken agreement¡ªboth teams stopped fighting each other and focused only on jiang siming.


    once they realized it was jiang siming, the fear of him had far surpassed their concern for each other''s full teams.


    they knew they had to kill jiang siming first before they could feel safe resuming their battle.


    jiang siming quickly took cover behind a large tree and immediately threw three smoke grenades at his feet, using the smoke as cover to quietly retreat.


    with eight people shooting at him, not even a god with cheats could survive that. he had to be smart about it.


    the korean rsg team, unaware that jiang siming had already slipped away, started throwing grenades into the smoke¡ªone after another, as if they had an endless supply.


    they were willing to use every grenade in their bags if it meant blowing up jiang siming.


    but unfortunately for them, after tossing seven or eight grenades, jiang siming still wasn''t dead.


    "something''s not right... be careful, he might have snuck around to our flank... yes, he''s behind us!"


    by the time the rsg team realized this, jiang siming was already within 20 meters of them.


    jiang siming had hoped to sneak even closer, but he had been discovered.


    even though he was spotted, jiang siming had no intention of retreating. with the 98k sniper rifle he had picked up from the vietnamese team, he aimed at the rsg member who had first spotted him and instantly shot him in the head!


    after killing one, jiang siming didn''t have time to shoot a second. he quickly dodged to the left, hiding behind the base of a nearby tree.


    just as he moved, the spot he had just been standing in was peppered with bullets from three guns. if he hadn''t moved quickly, he would have been done for.


    but as the three fired, jiang siming pinpointed all of their locations.


    he pulled out a round metal grenade from his waist, pulled the pin, timed the throw, and launched it!


    the grenade landed precisely at the feet of a korean player hiding behind a rock. the player didn''t even have time to react before it exploded.


    a teammate tried to rush over to help, but was gunned down by jiang siming, who had already set up his rifle in advance.


    now only one rsg member remained. jiang siming charged in, face-first, firing rapid preemptive shots, taking out the last player as well.


    he wiped out the entire team at full health.


    but the action wasn''t over yet.


    the thai ag team, who had been waiting to swoop in and take advantage of the situation, saw the fight end and immediately advanced.


    all four of them charged towards jiang siming''s position, sounding the horn of battle!


    they intended to overwhelm this squad-wiping demon with sheer numbers and take him down in a dishonorable brawl.

 Chapter 135: The E-sports Inventor

    at this point, they didn''t care about whether it was honorable or not. as long as they could kill him, they would use any dirty trick without hesitation.


    jiang siming remained calm, hiding behind a rock, and pulled out another grenade.


    facing the camera, jiang siming''s eyes were extremely focused, muttering something under his breath as if calculating some data.


    "now!" after shouting that, jiang siming tossed the grenade into the air.


    but the grenade wasn''t thrown at the enemy''s feet; instead, it was thrown at a large tree, where it ricocheted.


    the direction of the ricochet was perfectly aimed at the faces of two ag team members.


    the moment the grenade exploded, the two ag members were blown several meters away, their faces unrecognizable, lying on the ground and waiting for help.


    two members down before even getting close. ag wasn''t going to take this loss quietly.


    "you revive them, i''ll throw grenades. if he can throw grenades, so can we!"


    the ag captain gritted his teeth as he took out a grenade from his waist, held it for a moment, and threw it toward jiang siming''s cover.


    then, an unbelievable scene unfolded that left global viewers speechless!


    facing the incoming grenade, jiang siming didn''t dodge; instead, he put away his gun.


    in his hand appeared a frying pan. yes, a frying pan.


    everyone thought jiang siming was too nervous and switched to the wrong item by mistake.


    but in the next moment, everyone''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    jiang siming, holding the frying pan, swung it like a hammer at the grenade that was about to land at his feet. the frying pan and the grenade collided perfectly!


    the grenade rebounded! yes, it rebounded right back to the ag captain''s feet!


    the [projectile rebound] skill was used at that moment, and the effect was tremendous.


    ag never imagined they''d be killed by their own grenade.


    as the ag captain fell to the ground, he still couldn''t figure out whose grenade it was. he thought it was thrown by jiang siming.


    seeing jiang siming not moving, he was certain his grenade would kill him. he even laughed excitedly.


    "he''s dead! he''s dead! i blew him up too!"


    but after saying that for a while, he never heard the sound of a grenade going off near jiang siming.


    finally, there was the black fragment. jiang siming always liked what came out of the black fragments.


    they were always black technology items, products from an alternate dimension that surpassed earth''s current technology.


    "picked up black technology series ¡ª [small stock trend chart] black fragment*1 (1/1), fragment count complete, can be used immediately."


    [small stock trend chart]: displays the latest small-scale stock trend curve, predicting the maximum price increase for that stock.


    note: you cannot invest more than 10 million per stock. if you exceed this limit and the stock fluctuates, you will bear the responsibility yourself.


    additional note: the stock trend chart updates once every 30 days.


    ...


    jackpot, jackpot!


    jiang siming couldn''t stop grinning.


    ten million¡ªif the stock doubles, he could earn 20 million in a month. if it triples, he could make 30 million.


    stocks can easily shoot up several or even dozens of times in value. some strong stocks can skyrocket hundreds or even thousands of times overnight.


    of course, jiang siming was self-aware. these were small stocks, so the increase wouldn''t be that outrageous, but a tenfold rise was still a possibility.


    even if the stocks only doubled, jiang siming could still earn 20 million a month¡ªearning money while practically lying down!


    however, he''d need a trader or something to manage it, as he didn''t have the skills for that. he figured he might have to set up a small company to handle it later.


    "i love these black fragments! they''re treasures among treasures," jiang siming hummed happily in his heart.


    at this rate, the financial gains from the gold and black fragments would allow him to surpass zhao xuan''s wealth in just a few years.


    after picking up some extra ammo, jiang siming decided to keep looking for fights. if he wasn''t in a fight, he felt uncomfortable.


    jiang siming''s footsteps covered almost the entire island map; he had visited every city.


    twenty minutes later, the sixth circle of the electric zone had already closed in, and only seven players remained.


    this was the match with the fewest remaining players, because most of the kills were in jiang siming''s hands.


    he had already killed 28 people, solidifying his reputation as a "killing demon."


    for professional players, this was an insult to his name.


    but for the thousands of viewers, it was a term of endearment!

 Chapter 136: FGS Champion!

    at this point, there were usually a dozen or twenty players left in the seventh circle, but this time, only 7 remained.


    besides jiang siming, only three teams were left, and none of them were full squads.


    although these three teams had more players than jiang siming, everyone still believed that jiang siming would get the "chicken dinner" (win), even though his position wasn''t great.


    the audience had that kind of confidence in him, almost to the point of blind faith.


    and sure enough, just as everyone expected.


    even full squads couldn''t gain an advantage against jiang siming, so these scattered teams stood no chance.


    with just basic-level maneuvers, jiang siming secured first place.


    the commentators joked that jiang siming''s plays had three levels: basic, impressive, and god-level.


    and most professional players couldn''t even reach the basic level.


    as brutal as it sounded, there was no way to argue against it.


    in the end, he scored 32 kills!


    jiang siming once again broke his personal record for a single match¡ªout of 64 players, he killed 32 of them...


    that meant he killed half the players in a single game.


    at the moment, 4am''s total score was 69, with the second-place team, tl, only at 15 points, and the third-place team, 17, at just 8 points. as for the others, they weren''t even worth mentioning.


    when you combined the points of all 16 teams, they still couldn''t surpass 4am''s score, which was truly tear-inducing.


    in the next few games, for three consecutive rounds, jiang siming stayed low-key and stuck with the team, not taking too many kills, allowing wei shen and the others to finally have some screen time.


    it was a way of giving them a bit of compensation¡ªafter all, hogging all the spotlight wasn''t good for team unity.


    with jiang siming playing a steady game, 4am had no opponents left, winning the next three rounds with ease.


    in the sixth and final round, all the other teams had given up hope of winning. with 4am sitting at 120 points¡ªthree times the combined total of all the other teams¡ªthe championship was already decided.


    even if the second-place team tl managed to kill every single player in the round, they still couldn''t surpass 4am.


    so, all the professional players agreed to switch the map and play one round on sanhok, letting the audience enjoy a fast-paced gunfight on a smaller map.


    the organizers didn''t mind and swiftly changed the map.


    in this round, all 64 players decided to drop into the same location¡ª"cave city!"


    yes, they had let loose. since they couldn''t win the championship, they didn''t care about the rest of the competition.


    wei shen and the others burst out laughing.


    "brother jiang, your aggro was just too high¡ªthey all targeted you."


    "oh man, old jiang, i''m already thinking about what to order at michelin, picking the most expensive items."


    "brother jiang, no worries, you still killed seven people¡ªnot a bad trade at all."


    the three of them comforted him with mischievous smiles, without the slightest tone of actual consolation.


    jiang siming rolled his eyes in frustration and grumbled, "fine, i''ll treat you guys! i''ll stuff you to death!"


    seeing jiang siming finally get put in his place made wei shen and the others feel utterly delighted, as moments like this were incredibly rare.


    the final match concluded in a joyous atmosphere, so much so that even the broadcasters didn''t feel like tallying up the stats.


    the camera focused on 4am as the four players stood up from their chairs and embraced each other in excitement.


    "this team is too strong, unbeatable. i don''t think any other team can compare to 4am anymore," hooked nose commented in awe.


    "no, this team is strong, but they also have a ''divine weapon''¡ªjust like thor''s hammer. ming is that divine weapon, and that''s why 4am is unstoppable," added big beard, with a trace of reluctance, as if he couldn''t quite let go of this tournament, or more precisely, jiang siming''s brilliant performances.


    but in the next second, he became exuberant once again, "let''s give our loudest applause and cheers to welcome the new pubg global champions, 4! a! m!!!!"


    the four players stepped onto the stage, and immediately, countless red 4am support signs rained down, filling the entire venue with a sea of red.


    jiang siming stood in the center, standing tall at 1.85 meters, his stunning good looks completely overshadowing wei shen and the others beside him.


    the female audience members screamed frantically, with many western girls hoping jiang siming would notice them and take them back to his hotel for the night.


    in the middle of the stage, jiang siming lifted the pubg championship trophy high into the air, and at that moment, the atmosphere in the venue reached its peak.


    "congratulations to 4am for winning the fgs global championship! let''s present them with the prize¡ªthree million pounds!"


    the host brought out a huge mock check, clearly showing the sum of three million pounds.


    this prize money was several times higher than last year''s first tournament.


    it seems that with tencent as a financial backer, even bluehole has become much more generous.


    "additionally, let''s continue to congratulate ming for earning the title of mvp and setting a new kill record for this fgs tournament. he has broken nearly ten pubg tournament records! he is truly the undisputed mvp!"


    "the pubg officials will present him with an additional mvp trophy and a one-million-pound reward. furthermore, bluehole will soon be designing two special skins."


    "one will be the official team skin for 4am, and the other will be an exclusive mvp skin created for ming! seven percent of the sales revenue from these skins will go to 4am and ming!"

 Chapter 137: Peaking at Debut!

    oh!


    this treatment is too good!


    such prestige! this is something every professional player dreams of.


    it''s unlike the bluehole from the original world, which was obsessed with creating skins to make money, even going so far as to make several skins for streamers just to please chinese players¡ªpretty shameless.


    but in jiang siming''s timeline, bluehole produces very few skins, and skins representing individual players have never been done before.


    jiang siming will be the first. no one else in 4am will get this kind of treatment.


    but considering jiang siming''s performance in this tournament, he absolutely deserves such a grand reward.


    "let''s first interview 4am''s captain, wei shen," the host handed the microphone to wei shen and smiled, "leading the team to the championship, what do you have to say?"


    "i''m very emotional, truly emotional. this is the world championship i''ve been chasing for seven years in my esports career. i failed in league of legends, but today i can proudly say, i''ve been reborn in pubg!" wei shen said with tears in his eyes.


    yes, he has been a professional for six years, five in league of legends and two in pubg.


    that world champion dream, shattered since season 5 of league, was finally realized in pubg''s season 2.


    the heartache and struggles can only be understood by a professional player like wei shen, who experienced two different games.


    his statement about being reborn in pubg received a round of applause from the audience.


    jiang siming playfully draped his arm over wei shen''s shoulder and teased in a low voice, "you crying looks just like cxk."


    "get lost!" wei shen instantly burst into laughter. after hearing that, he didn''t even feel like crying anymore¡ªforget cxk!


    the host handed the microphone to jiang siming¡ªhe was, after all, the brightest star of this tournament!


    "ming, can you tell us how long you''ve been playing in professional competitions?"


    "i just started this year. if i count everything, i didn''t even participate in the domestic league, only this one tournament in london," jiang siming replied.


    "debut at the top! you''ve achieved so many honors, do you have anything to say?" the host asked.


    jiang siming smiled and answered, "i''m happy, really. the prize money is generous, the trophy is heavy, and i got to compete against a lot of skilled players. it''s pretty enjoyable."


    "skilled players..."


    the professional players all felt a little downhearted when they heard those four words. so, in his eyes, they were just ''skilled,'' nothing more?


    "no, my second suggestion is that i hope pubg can create a map for china. i believe that as two-time world champions, how can pubg not create a map for our region? don''t you think so?" jiang siming said, ''questioning'' him.


    george laughed and replied, "no problem! we will definitely fulfill this suggestion, and i promise we will complete it before the end of this year!"


    "thank you so much! i appreciate it on behalf of all the players in china."


    "this is the treatment you deserve. we look forward to seeing you back on the battlefield next year."


    "of course! i hope there will be even stronger opponents next year."


    "congratulations again, and congratulations to 4am!"


    ....


    the scene became lively once more.


    far across the ocean, china might be even more ecstatic than the live audience.


    it felt like when ig won the championship in s8 of league of legends.


    in college and high school dormitories, boys were cheering, shouting, "4am is awesome!" and "ming shen is amazing!"


    jiang siming''s two suggestions didn''t benefit himself; instead, he secured a huge advantage for players throughout the entire chinese region.


    there were more people shouting "ming shen is awesome!" than those shouting "4am is awesome!"


    the dormitory manager thought it was haunted again, scared and unable to sleep all night.


    on the douyu platform, at the moment 4am won the championship, the entire platform exploded with a full-screen celebration banner.


    ¡¾congratulations to 4am for winning the world championship, and congratulations to ming shen for achieving legendary status in one battle!¡¿


    timed celebratory messages allowed viewers to send for free, and there were treasure rewards for everyone to grab.


    in comparison, huya only had a livestream room title celebrating the victory, which seemed much less impressive.


    jiang siming''s livestream room was packed, with a black screen livestream reaching an astonishing 8 million+ viewers.


    the gifts sent skyrocketed his popularity to 580 million! this broke jiang siming''s livestream record.


    fortunately, douyu streamers had a maximum level of 100; otherwise, jiang siming could have reached over level 110 tonight.

 Chapter 138: Return to the Homeland

    after the award ceremony ended, everyone dispersed and went home.


    however, before leaving, many professional players from other teams came over to ask jiang siming for a photo.


    of course, it wasn''t the korean teams, nor the japanese or thai teams, but the north american powerhouses and fellow players from hong kong and macau.


    the north american players were very gracious, impressed by jiang siming''s skills, so they wanted to get to know him, and quite a few had even become his top fans.


    "ming, you''re really too strong, my sister definitely likes you a lot, i''ll introduce you to her if there''s a chance."


    alow also became one of jiang siming''s die-hard fans, grabbing jiang siming as if he wanted to become sworn brothers, even using his sister as a ''support tool''.


    jiang siming couldn''t help but laugh and teased, "is your sister pretty?"


    "of course, i''ll show you her photo!"


    jiang siming was just joking, but alow was serious and took out his phone to show a picture of a girl.


    jiang siming took a look, and wow, she was really pretty ¨C blonde, blue-eyed, and with a youthful face and a well-endowed figure.


    "how about it? she just called me, saying she really likes you and has already become your die-hard fan," alow said admiringly.


    "shouldn''t she be a fan of celebrities?" jiang siming said, covering his face.


    "she doesn''t like celebrities, she loves playing games. she said you meet both her gaming and idol standards, and now she''s only going to be your fan," alow kept pushing his sister toward the ''pit.''


    jiang siming couldn''t quite handle his enthusiasm and could only say that they''d talk about it later if there was a chance.


    on championship night, it wasn''t just jiang siming who was happy; 4am''s club manager and coach were also thrilled and treated jiang siming to a big meal at a michelin-starred restaurant.


    on their way back in the evening, jiang siming and the three others walked down the streets of london to sober up.


    compared to yesterday''s wandering, today the four had no pressure, feeling completely relaxed, just waiting to return home with glory.


    so now, the four of them were unabashedly enjoying the night scenery of london, occasionally glancing at the local beauties ¨C they were feeling quite carefree.


    "here, try this." jiang siming leaned against the riverbank railing and took a box of cigars from his pocket.


    this was a gbd cigar given by a golden fragment, and it was the first time jiang siming had taken it out, handing one to each of them.


    "wow, this cigar looks fancy. what brand is it?"


    "haven''t smoked it before, no idea."


    "damn! gbd cigars, even more expensive than cuban ones, each costing several thousand yuan."


    these two games are completely different in type, so it''s not a conflict to love both.


    facing this kind of celebrity-like treatment, wei shen remained relatively calm, but xingtian and duoyu were already floating on cloud nine.


    jiang siming was much calmer than the others. facing this situation, he thought it was nothing at all.


    back in the day, when he needed to earn money for rent, he wore ridiculous outfits like a clown to promote products in university cafeterias, practiced public speaking on the streets, and went door-to-door selling insurance.


    so, jiang siming had long developed ''thick skin.'' no matter how big the occasion, it no longer fazed him, nor made him feel uncomfortable.


    "hello, everyone. thank you for coming to meet us here," jiang siming greeted the crowd confidently, showing no nervousness.


    the fans were thrilled and wanted to take pictures with jiang siming.


    jiang siming generously agreed, taking photos and signing autographs for the fans.


    before long, more fans gathered around him. even though wei shen and the others were surrounded by fans too, the number of people around jiang siming far exceeded theirs.


    while everyone was happily interacting, a few rude voices suddenly interrupted.


    "move aside, move aside, don''t block the way!"


    hearing this, jiang siming turned and saw several bodyguards in black pushing away 4am''s fans, roughly shoving people aside without any care. some of the smaller fans were nearly knocked over.


    jiang siming paused signing autographs and immediately stepped out of the fan group, standing in front of them. he coldly said, "this is the terminal, and there''s plenty of space next to you. are your eyes not working, or do you have to push people here?"


    "none of your damn business! when i tell you to scram, you scram!" one of the bodyguards responded rudely.


    "all you can do is shout ''scram, scram,'' didn''t your mother teach you any manners?"


    "i think you''re asking for a beating!" several bodyguards immediately surrounded jiang siming, ready to start a fight.


    "hey, hey, no need to be so impulsive, with so many people watching. it wouldn''t look good, right? he''s just feeling sorry for his small number of scattered fans. not everyone is like me, with tons of fans," a man wearing a mask, a hat, and a trench coat, covering himself completely, walked over from behind the bodyguards. his voice sounded young.


    however, his words were dripping with sarcasm, clearly mocking jiang siming for having fewer fans and trying to show off.


    "old jiang, who is this? is he an idiot?" wei shen and the others quickly gathered around, hot-tempered and shouting.


    the man ignored them and simply looked at jiang siming with a strange smile. he said, "i''ve heard of you. seems like you''ve been quite popular recently, just a small streamer, right?"


    "but as someone with experience, i have to give you some advice: don''t get too full of yourself just because you have a little fame. in the end, you''re just a small streamer. why put on such airs?"


    his tone was full of disdain, looking down on jiang siming with a condescending attitude.

 Chapter 139: Legal Notice to Sue Me?

    "you have no right to bb (bad-mouth) others here. do you think bringing a few bodyguards makes you a prince?" xingmu retorted angrily.


    "heh, ignorant people, i can''t be bothered to argue with you." the man sneered twice and added, "if i don''t bring bodyguards, my fans would fill up the entire hongqiao airport, understand?"


    jiang siming spoke up at this point: "so, what you''re trying to say is that you''re so famous and can''t stand seeing us smaller celebrities ''putting on airs,'' right?"


    "you''ve got it exactly right. even though i''m young, my life experience and achievements far exceed yours, so take note and learn, young man." as he finished, he attempted to pat jiang siming on the shoulder.


    however, at only 1.75 meters tall, he couldn''t reach, and had to stand on his toes to do so, but jiang siming brushed his hand away.


    "i don''t need to know what kind of celebrity you are. i don''t care how thrilling or hollywood-level your life may have been. all i know is that you should stop meddling in other people''s business. don''t act like a busybody; it just makes you look like an idiot."


    jiang siming had no tolerance for people he disliked, regardless of their celebrity status.


    "hmph! arrogant fool! i think it''s time you learned who i am." the young man then removed his mask, revealing a face...


    a face that he likely thought was handsome¡ªa big, round face with rather average features, nothing particularly striking or attractive.


    not only did this grown man have foundation on his face, but he also wore eyeshadow. overall, the man had nothing to do with the word "handsome" and even had slightly buck teeth.


    his appearance vaguely resembled rng''s xdd, with a wide mouth like a catfish and an effeminate demeanor, full of arrogance learned from who knows where.


    with that kind of face, not only did he pale in comparison to jiang siming, but he didn''t even look as good as xdd.


    "who are you?" jiang siming asked, genuinely unaware of who the guy was.


    "you don''t know me? cxk." the man proudly revealed his name.


    jiang siming immediately laughed, "so, you''re cxk, huh?"


    just yesterday, he had been joking with wei shen about how he looked like cxk, and now they coincidentally ran into him.


    "now you know who i am, right?" cxk put his mask back on as if afraid that someone would steal a glimpse of his face and gain some huge benefit from it.


    "yeah, yeah, you''re that ''chicken too beautiful'' guy, right? your singing is top-notch¡ªeveryone across the country is ''praising'' you." jiang siming said, holding back his laughter.


    "yeah, and you''re amazing at basketball too. no wonder you''re the nba''s image ambassador." wei shen chimed in with a laugh, and the surrounding fans joined in on the laughter.


    cxk could clearly hear the sarcasm, but with so many people watching, he didn''t dare act out. he shot a vicious glare at jiang siming before storming off.


    as for why he didn''t glare at wei shen? maybe jiang siming''s appearance made him feel immense pressure and jealousy.


    but before their beautiful fantasies could even begin, they were shattered.


    "xingmu, i''ve... fallen out of love again..." duo yu leaned on xingmu''s shoulder, ''crying'' loudly.


    during their five-day trip to london, he had fallen out of love three times¡ªonce with a blonde flight attendant, once with lin yoon-ah, and now, just as they returned, he was struck down again.


    "am i not the same? forget it, from now on, it''s better to stay away from brother jiang. any woman you fancy will end up being his," xingmu concluded.


    "alright everyone, we''re heading out now, bye."


    jiang siming waved goodbye to them as he held wang xinyi and walked away.


    "i''m off too. i need to spend a few days with my honey bee, i''ll be back at the club tomorrow, guys," wei shen, not wanting to stick around, also left to spend time with his girlfriend.


    this left xingmu and duo yu, the two big guys, standing there sighing in the wind, feeling lonely.


    "come on, duo yu, i''ll take you to a club!" frustrated, xingmu wanted to find some girls.


    duo yu was startled and quickly waved his hands, "are you crazy? if you catch something, your life is over."


    "just kidding, i''ll take you for a massage instead. don''t worry, it''s a legitimate one."


    "alright, but i want a masseuse with a good figure."


    "deal, how about 36d?"


    "that''ll do, that''ll do."


    ...


    wang xinyi had driven jiang siming''s car to pick him up, and as soon as they got home, jiang siming was already finding it hard to control himself. conveniently, it was just about bedtime.


    it had been several days since he''d obtained that orange shard, and if he didn''t start ''cultivating'' properly, jiang siming was afraid he might forget this immortal cultivation manual altogether.


    they say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and after just a week apart, the two of them were glued together like superglue.


    as soon as they entered the house, wang xinyi kissed jiang siming passionately.


    jiang siming held her slender waist, slowly closed the door, kicked off his shoes, and, without going anywhere, sat right down on the living room sofa with her in his arms.

 Chapter 140: The Humble Jiang Lan

    "why... are you here... senior brother..." wang xinyi blushed, still as shy as ever.


    "hehe, i was too lazy to go upstairs. i''ll shower later."


    after jiang siming said that, he pressed a button at the base of the sofa. the sofa, which could only fit one person lying down, merged into a comfortable bed.


    high-end furniture certainly has its benefits.


    soon, a charming sound echoed from the sofa.


    jiang siming didn''t forget to follow the steps of the yin-yang technique and began performing the first move, "nurturing the source and strengthening the body."


    as soon as he performed this move, they both felt an experience at least ten times more pleasant than usual.


    wang xinyi was instantly ''overwhelmed'' and collapsed.


    jiang siming almost couldn''t hold back himself, but he managed to stop in time, controlling the situation with sheer willpower.


    as wang xinyi was ''overwhelmed,'' a cool energy flowed into jiang siming''s body, quickly traveling to his baihui acupoint before merging into his dantian.


    jiang siming felt as if he had undergone a long period of intense cultivation, with his physical condition slightly improving.


    but he hadn''t done anything! he had just been with his girlfriend for a while.


    that short time actually gave him the equivalent of long hours of training. it was truly miraculous.


    at this moment, jiang siming felt both mentally and physically revitalized.


    "damn, this dual cultivation technique is so powerful. this is just the first round. if i can practice the remaining eight moves, what kind of effects will that have..."


    thinking of this, jiang siming immediately resumed ''absorbing'' wang xinyi''s yin energy.


    that night, the entire living room was filled with the sound of wang xinyi''s tired yet incredibly joyful moans, which echoed much more clearly than usual.


    it wasn''t until wang xinyi was completely exhausted that jiang siming performed another round of "nurturing the source and strengthening the body," reaching the peak of both physical and mental energy, before finally stopping.


    after jiang siming fired his final ''bullet,'' a stream of pure yang energy flowed into wang xinyi''s body as well.


    the sweat on wang xinyi''s face disappeared at a visible speed, and her skin, as if it had undergone thousands of spa treatments, became even more radiant and flawless than before.


    however, wang xinyi had already fallen asleep and didn''t notice the changes in her body at all. she just knew that she slept very soundly and comfortably.


    but while she was asleep, jiang siming couldn''t sleep.


    at this moment, he was still full of energy, despite having ''fired a shot,'' and was filled with vigor.


    there, she noticed a used lipstick. it certainly wasn''t hers; it must have belonged to another girl.


    however, the clever jiang lan didn''t ask about it. after all, she wasn''t the original main girl in his life.


    but that didn''t stop her from feeling upset. sitting in the car, jiang lan kept her head down, silently sulking.


    at that moment, a hand reached over from beside her, holding a delicate box.


    "what''s this?" jiang lan looked up.


    "open it. if you like it, take it. if not, put it back," jiang siming said directly, as always.


    jiang lan carefully opened the box. inside was an incredibly beautiful ladies'' watch, and it was from vacheron constantin!


    jiang lan was always interested in luxury goods¡ªnot because she was materialistic, but because she had a liking for them.


    she never asked any guys for anything, even though she liked these things. she still had her principles.


    jiang lan instantly recognized the price of the watch¡ªit was 650,000 rmb.


    and the design was very fashionable, in her favorite color¡ªred. jiang lan felt as if she had just found a treasure.


    "is this for me?"


    "why so many questions? if you like it, take it. if not, leave it," jiang siming tossed his burnt-out cigarette out of the window.


    "yes, i like it!" jiang lan hugged the box like a precious gem, overjoyed.


    this marked a shift in jiang siming''s perception of her, which had begun after he found out she was a virgin. since then, his attitude toward her had softened.


    this watch was actually a reward from a gold-fragment drop, and he had originally planned to give it to zhao xuan or daimei.


    but on second thought, this woman had never asked him for anything after being with him. even though he hadn''t contacted her for a long time, she didn''t disturb him or ask for a single penny. she didn''t seem as materialistic as he had initially imagined.


    so, his heart softened, and jiang siming decided to give her the watch.


    without saying anything more, jiang siming stepped on the gas and drove jiang lan away from the music academy.


    they drove to an intersection in minhang district, shanghai, where a luxurious five-star hotel stood in the most prominent location.


    the word "opulent" wasn''t an exaggeration to describe this hotel.


    after all, it was his property.

 Chapter 141: Five-Star Industry

    jiang siming, feeling a bit impatient, wanted to see what his property looked like. he drove the car to the hotel entrance, and several polite, handsome valets immediately came over to open the door.


    the valet attendant soon arrived, and jiang siming handed him the car keys. taking jiang lan''s hand, he led her inside.


    the hotel lobby on the first floor was extremely spacious and grand.


    the walls were mainly brown, not as flashy as gold but also not as cold as white. brown gave off a subtle, luxurious elegance.


    the floor was made of 800x800 black-gold granite tiles, giving off a sense of grandeur.


    the chandeliers were not directly in the center of the ceiling but instead mounted in the corners between the ceiling and the walls, casting light down at a 45-degree angle.


    the lighting illuminated the entire lobby without being harsh, instead creating a soft and comfortable atmosphere, like the morning sunlight.


    there was a subtle scent of burning wood incense in the lobby, but without the large censer. the fragrance was calming without the ash that typically comes with incense burning.


    crystal display cases embedded in the walls showcased porcelain and bronze vessels, while landscape paintings with rich chinese characteristics hung on the walls.


    even the guest seating in the lobby was made of antique-style wooden benches, and the tea tables were stocked with da hong pao tea leaves, placed as if they were free for anyone to enjoy.


    jiang siming was quite fond of the overall design.


    there were no longer valets in the lobby, but rather, all the beautiful girls dressed in cheongsams. their smiling faces made guests feel comfortable and increased their trust and fondness for the hotel.


    as soon as jiang siming entered, one of the girls gracefully approached and asked if he wanted to check in.


    "where''s your manager?" jiang siming didn''t immediately mention anything about checking in.


    the girl found it a bit strange but still replied politely, "sir, our manager is in the office. is there something i can assist you with?"


    "tell him i''m here, and my last name is jiang."


    "alright, i''ll relay the message right away," the receptionist turned and left for a moment.


    immediately, another receptionist invited jiang siming to sit in the lobby''s lounge area, where she served two cups of tea for him and jiang lan.


    she also asked jiang siming if there was anything else he needed, offering impeccable service without a single flaw.


    jiang siming didn''t ask for anything more and simply sat in the chair waiting.


    "brother jiang, why did you call for the manager?" jiang lan curiously asked.


    he glanced at the construction costs of the hotel, which amounted to just over 300 million rmb.


    in three years, the investment would be fully recouped, and everything after that would be pure profit, money flowing in while lying down.


    after going through everything, jiang siming nodded in satisfaction and praised, "well done. starting today, all hotel staff, including the cleaners, will have their wages increased by 30%."


    the female manager was delighted. she hadn''t expected the chairman to be so generous on the first day they met!


    "sisters, i have good news to share with everyone. the chairman said we''ve been performing well lately, and starting today, all employees will get a 30% raise!"


    the female manager was very skilled in handling things and immediately shared the news with the staff.


    the employees in the lobby were immediately grateful to jiang siming and repeatedly thanked the chairman.


    the room was already arranged, so without staying in the lobby any longer, jiang siming took jiang lan upstairs.


    the female manager personally led jiang siming to the presidential suite on the top floor. the decorations inside could only be described as dreamlike.


    there was a small swimming pool-style bathtub, an ultra-large and soft luxury bed, and the suite also included a study, dining room, game room, computer room, and even a small gym.


    there were only five presidential suites on the top floor, so each one was very spacious, almost covering all the living areas you might need. you could do whatever you wanted in there.


    jiang siming noticed that at the other end of the large bed, there was a small waterbed. such waterbeds were usually used by couples. lying on it felt like floating in water, making intimate moments particularly enjoyable.


    looking around the presidential suite, jiang siming was quite satisfied and dismissed the female manager.


    "by the way, what''s your name?" jiang siming realized he didn''t know her name yet.


    "chairman, my name is yuan jie," the female manager replied, without any dissatisfaction.


    "alright, you can go. oh, one more thing, this room will no longer be open to the public. it''s reserved for my exclusive use. have someone renovate it again. i don''t like the color of the walls¡ªmake them warmer. the lighting is too harsh, and the waterbed is too small.


    get a bigger one. other than these, feel free to make any other adjustments, but make sure everything is refined. if you need money, just go to the finance department, and i''ll sign off on it."


    "yes, chairman." the female manager carefully noted jiang siming''s requests before taking her leave.


    jiang siming thoroughly indulged in the thrill of being a boss for once. in the past, it was always others ordering him around, but now the tables had turned¡ªhe was the boss, and it was his turn to give the orders.


    the feeling was so marvelous and enjoyable. the power of money is truly endless!

 Chapter 142: The Generous Boss!

    after the female manager left, jiang lan, being quite sensible, ran off to the bathtub to take a bath. this was also her first time staying in such a luxurious five-star hotel.


    in fact, many hotels'' star ratings are completely made up. some four-star hotels insist on claiming they''re five-star, while some that aren''t even one-star dare to call themselves three-star.


    the high-end hotel jiang siming had taken jiang lan to before claimed to be four-star, but the decorations and quality were miles apart from this hotel.


    back then, he also booked a presidential suite, but it was essentially just a larger room with a bathtub and a massage chair.


    at the time, jiang siming thought it was pretty good, but now looking back, he thought, "what kind of garbage was that?"


    as jiang lan removed her clothes, she noticed jiang siming''s intense gaze. her face flushed with redness, and she quickly slipped into the bathtub.


    but jiang siming didn''t plan on waiting for her to finish her bath; he also stripped down and joined her in the tub.


    the bathtub was quite large¡ªbig enough for a child to swim in, and an adult could easily move around with plenty of space.


    jiang siming had acquired the [swimming skill], and since he rarely had a chance to be near water, he dived under the surface.


    the water was murky due to the special soap they had used, making it impossible to see the bottom.


    jiang lan only saw jiang siming disappear the moment he entered the water. after a while, when he still didn''t resurface, she became anxious and considered diving in to find him.


    just as she was about to move, she felt a pair of hands caressing her long legs, slowly moving upwards.


    jiang lan''s face turned a deep red as she bit her lip, trying to hold back. before long, jiang siming became more and more brazen, emerging from the water with his hands already climbing up her body.


    in that instant, both of them became lost in the moment, their passions uncontrollable, and jiang lan''s whole body was trembling.


    "brother jiang... i''m a little hungry..." said jiang lan, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she held her small stomach, exhausted from the physical exertion.


    "perfect, i''m a bit hungry too," jiang siming replied, picking up the bedside phone to order some food.


    it was already past 2 a.m., and most hotels wouldn''t serve food at this hour.


    however, in a five-star hotel, chefs are available 24 hours a day, ready to prepare food as soon as a guest requests it.


    although this was slightly less than the hotel, it was only a franchise flagship store with a relatively small space, so achieving such impressive profits was thanks to the herme?s brand.


    "not bad. keep up the good work. inform all employees, including yourself, that salaries will be increased by 30%."


    "thank you, boss!"


    "thank you, boss!"


    "the boss is so generous!"


    the store employees had already overheard and were overjoyed. many of the female staff also felt a growing admiration¡ªsuch a wealthy and handsome boss! if only he took a liking to one of them~


    jiang siming smiled and nodded at them before taking jiang lan on a tour around the store, grabbing several bags and a dozen outfits.


    herme?s is best known for its bags and clothing, though it also dabbles in perfumes and jewelry, which aren''t as famous.


    jiang lan had never expected jiang siming to buy anything for her¡ªshe just liked browsing. but jiang siming was overbearing and insisted on buying them for her.


    jiang lan felt like cupid must have struck her today. how else could things feel so much like a dream come true, exactly as she had imagined in her dreams?


    after herme?s, jiang siming also took her to lv and chanel, both of which were his businesses as well. he used the opportunity to check on the business operations while also picking up items for jiang lan.


    he also bought quite a few things for zhao xuan, xin yi, and dumb little sister tuan tuan, grabbing over 4 million yuan worth of goods in total.


    jiang siming didn''t feel the least bit pained by the spending. after all, it was his own stores¡ªno need to pay; just deduct it from the accounts.


    there were too many gifts for zhao xuan and the others, so he had the store employees deliver them to their homes by car. his aston martin''s trunk was already packed full with jiang lan''s things.


    with the shopping done, jiang siming felt satisfied after discreetly inspecting several of his businesses, except for starbucks and a tea restaurant, before heading back home.


    he dropped jiang lan off at her school. this time, he drove directly onto the campus. normally, outside vehicles weren''t allowed in, but the security guards saw jiang siming''s luxury car and didn''t dare make things difficult.


    for good measure, jiang siming handed them a few packs of premium cigarettes, and the guards beamed with joy as they quickly let him through.

 Chapter 143: As Long as She Obeys

    as the car drove into the school, it drew curious glances and discussions from the students. although they couldn''t say they had never seen such a car before, this level of luxury vehicle was rarely seen on campus.


    after all, not every student comes from a wealthy family, and even those who do usually aren''t allowed to drive high-end cars.


    jiang siming''s car, worth over 5 million, was already one of the most top-tier vehicles seen on campus.


    the car roared as it arrived at the girls'' dormitory.


    hearing the noise, many girls came out to see what was happening. upon seeing jiang lan get out of the luxury car, they let out envious squeals.


    when they saw jiang lan open the trunk filled with bags emblazoned with various logos like lv, cc, and hermes,


    their admiration surged like a tidal wave.


    jiang lan instantly became the center of attention in the girls'' dormitory, with nearly all the girls rushing out to witness this unprecedented spectacle.


    "oh my gosh, it''s all designer brands! and my favorite herme?s bags!"


    "i saw it too! the bags inside seem to be the latest limited edition, each costing over 100,000 yuan!"


    "and chanel! lv! oh my goodness! a whole trunk full!"


    "isn''t that the campus beauty jiang lan? isn''t she always single? how did she come back in a luxury car?"


    "your information is so outdated! jiang lan has been in a relationship for a while now, with some rich second-generation guy who is even wealthier than senior zhang wei."


    "i''m so envious! if only i had jiang lan''s looks and figure~"


    ...


    the girls were chattering excitedly, and while jiang lan felt a bit self-conscious under their scrutiny and discussions,


    hearing their envious remarks made her feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.


    everyone has a sense of vanity, including jiang siming; how much more so for jiang lan.


    however, the size of one''s vanity varies. those with a larger sense of vanity are often hard to satisfy and very materialistic.


    fortunately, jiang lan''s vanity wasn''t excessive; it was just her first time experiencing this feeling, and it left her with a peculiar sensation.


    there were too many bags, so jiang lan could only call her roommate to come down for help.


    when her roommates came down, they were all very eager to assist, and jiang siming understood their feelings.


    "well, i''m off, brother jiang," jiang lan said reluctantly as she bid farewell to jiang siming.


    jiang siming took out a card and handed it to her.


    "there''s 100,000 yuan on this card for your living expenses. treat your roommates to something nice or buy some more expensive gifts for them; don''t be stingy. i''ll look for you after i finish my business."


    there''s no need to detail each one, but overall, this competition has made jiang siming very well-off, transforming him from a small tycoon into a wealthy family.


    just after winning the championship and returning home, jiang siming wasn''t idle; he had a lot to do.


    there was the 4am club celebration, a celebration organized by douyu for him, and private invitations from dai xiaomei and her group.


    additionally, many sponsors approached him, wanting jiang siming to advertise their products.


    there were requests for advertising from brands like ao feng gaming chairs, logitech mice, corsair keyboards, and several mobile and online games.


    this is the benefit of fame; after winning the championship, jiang siming''s status in pubg skyrocketed! his reputation was at its peak, unmatched by anyone.


    these businesses were automatically sending him money.


    just think about it: as the number one streamer in pubg, which inherently relies on peripherals, if viewers casually ask which equipment ming shen uses,


    countless followers would rush to buy it.


    the same applies to mobile and online games; many major streamers take on advertisements, providing a significant extra income.


    however, jiang siming wasn''t interested in these advertisers. if you owned so many top-tier industries, would you care about these small advertising incomes?


    he declined all of them, but he did attend the celebration parties.


    after two consecutive days of handling all these banquets, jiang siming could finally settle down a bit.


    today marked jiang siming''s debut broadcast after returning to the country.


    douyu had already informed all users and viewers in advance that jiang siming had truly become the top streamer on douyu!


    when he participated in the london world championship, nearly every match he played would draw a large crowd to his livestream to shower him with gifts.


    there''s even more to say about the day he won the championship.


    after just a few days, jiang siming''s livestream data grew rapidly.


    livestream id: 99999


    level: max level 100


    fan group: 1.5 million+


    online viewers: 11 million+ (just ten minutes into the stream)


    noble members: 2.66 million+


    popularity: 550 million

 Chapter 144: Celebrity Racing Team is On!

    these statistics, in every aspect, have already surpassed both pdd and xuxu baobao. the top position is no longer something they need to fight for; they can only compete for second place now.


    1.5 million fan badges represent 1.5 million fans who are willing to send money to jiang siming.


    previously, jiang siming only had 400,000 to 500,000 fan badges, but one match caused him to gain one million more fans!


    currently, xuxu baobao has the most with 800,000, and pdd has 600,000. even combined, they don''t surpass jiang siming.


    looking at the terrifying number of online viewers and over two million nobles, the audience is dumbfounded, thinking, "is this guy some kind of god?"


    it''s been ten minutes since the stream started, and the gift acknowledgments from jiang siming haven''t stopped. many fellow streamers have also come over to send gifts.


    some are genuinely offering congratulations, while others are trying to ride the wave of popularity.


    jiang siming still specifically acknowledges the big gifts, while small gifts are quickly skimmed over.


    there''s no other way. too many people are sending gifts. if he thanked everyone one by one, he wouldn''t finish even if he stayed here thanking people for an entire day and night.


    even so, after reading out thanks for more than ten minutes, jiang siming stopped.


    "stop sending gifts. my mouth is dry. if you keep sending, i''ll mute you!" jiang siming jokingly threatened.


    this move left the audience stunned. what? sending gifts can get you muted? is there no justice? no laws?


    after hearing that, the audience got even more excited and sent even more gifts.


    many fellow streamers watching wore expressions of frustration and envy.


    they beg people daily, groveling for gifts from everyone they can, just to get a few.


    then they look at jiang siming, and they curse inwardly: "please, act like a human being!"no?v(el)b\\jnn


    unable to keep up with the flood of gifts, jiang siming lazily said, "send if you want. i''m not thanking anymore. whoever wants to thank can do it themselves."


    hahaha...


    no one has ever seen such an arrogant streamer. if it weren''t for the fact that you''re the famous god ming, we would''ve started cursing! but fine, you are the world champion after all~


    "ming god, when will your skin be released? what kind of skin is it? i''m waiting to buy it!" asked emperor ¡¾traveling frog wawa ge¡¿.


    this comment happened to catch jiang siming''s attention.


    "as for the skin, there are two sets. one is the champion team set, which includes a full outfit from clothes to shoes, plus an ak and m416 skin. the other is my personal mvp set, also a full outfit with an ak and a 98k, plus a level-three backpack skin."


    "oh, and there''s also going to be an emote of mine. as for when it will be released, the official team is still working on the templates. once they get my approval, it should appear in the game store very soon, probably within a month."


    this answer got the audience really excited.


    "hello, world champion!" cheng he was the first to join yy, his familiar "zeng xiaoxian" tone made it immediately clear who he was.


    "hello, zeng xiaoxian," jiang siming replied with a smile.


    "my name is cheng he, the strongest in the celebrity pubg world. that''s me," cheng he corrected.


    "yeah, right. you''re so bad at the game, yet you claim to be the best. last time we were storming a building, who was the one who threw a grenade and blew me up?" the principal chimed in.


    "that was lin dog!" cheng he immediately shifted the blame.


    "then who finished me off?"


    "i just... didn''t see it, cough cough."


    boss cheng suddenly found himself in an awkward situation.


    before long, lin dog joined too.


    "ming god, hello, i''m a fan of yours!" lin dog greeted jiang siming enthusiastically, claiming to be a fan.


    a celebrity being a fan of a streamer seemed a bit surreal, but lin dog was quite convincing.


    "i''m not just a fan of your gaming, i''m also a fan of your music. i love your songs ''luzhou moon,'' ''riding alone for thousands of miles,'' and ''one person''s paris,'' they''re all on my phone playlist. it was qiqi wei, who''s been acting with me recently, who recommended them to me. she''s been your fan even longer than i have."


    "thank you, i also enjoy the shows you act in," jiang siming said with a smile, feeling quite pleased. it was nice to know he had a reputation even in the entertainment industry.


    the audience was thrilled hearing this¡ªming god really has some clout! even qiqi wei is his fan! so cool!


    "alright, alright, lin dog, can you stop being such a sycophant? bootlickers never end up with anything," the principal interrupted their mutual praise, sounding a bit jealous.


    "i like it, so what?" lin dog shot back, showing that their friendship was indeed strong.


    no wonder they say that internet celebrities come and go, but lin dog remains solid.


    after some casual chatting, the four officially entered the game.


    jiang siming hadn''t played pubg in a few days since returning to china, and without the high drop rates from world tournaments, it was a bit frustrating.


    but even small gains are still something, and low drop rates are still better than nothing. you can''t just wait for the annual world championship, after all.


    as soon as they entered the snow map, a red cloud with the letters "4am" hung in the sky.


    this wasn''t only on the snow map; the other three maps had the same symbol in the sky, easily visible when looking up.


    it was much grander than last year''s "omg," which only appeared in picado. this showed that bluehole was placing more importance on the champion teams.

 Chapter 145: Champion Fever

    "sigh, my ig pubg team really isn''t doing well. they can''t even qualify for the world tournament. i''m thinking of replacing them all next year," the principal sighed.


    experience tales at empire


    his two favorite games were lol and pubg.


    lol made him proud by winning the world championship.


    but when it came to pubg, his team was like idiots, unable to even qualify.


    this was something the proud and ambitious principal could not accept.


    "ming god, are you interested in switching teams? name your salary," the principal immediately tried to poach from 4am.


    the 4am manager watching the stream felt a jolt¡ª"name your salary" was definitely the style of the son of the richest man. who knows if jiang siming would be tempted by the offer?


    but jiang siming didn''t ask about the salary limit or whether he would agree. he just casually replied, "i''m a man you can''t have."


    pff~


    everyone burst into laughter, and even the principal quickly laughed and cursed, "who the hell wants you as a man? i want your skills!"


    "still no deal."


    "fine, i didn''t want you anyway."


    "alright, let''s just play the game."


    everyone realized jiang siming was cleverly dodging the topic by joking around. what a sly move!


    as the plane took off, cheng he''s mic was open on all-team voice chat, and the yy was on auto-speak, so they could hear the other players on the plane.


    "4am rocks!"


    "world champions are awesome!"


    "today, i''m ming god, i''ll crush your heads!"


    "i''ve been practicing ming god''s instant sniper shots. once i master it, you''re all dead!"


    "before every drop, i chant: ''ming god rocks! divine power upon me!''"


    ...


    these weren''t stream followers; they didn''t even know they were queued with jiang siming.


    this was the "trending style" in the asia server right now¡ªevery game you''d hear people shouting "4am rocks."


    clearly, the championship hype hadn''t died down yet; it was still a hot topic of conversation.


    even foreign servers were affected by the championship fever, though abroad they rarely discussed 4am¡ªthey only talked about jiang siming.


    with one burst of shots, a team and a half of enemies fell from the sky.


    the audience was thrilled, the familiar ming god, playing his bird-shooting game!


    you never saw this in world tournaments, because no one would dare to land in the same spot as jiang siming.


    there were still two enemies left, but they were too far away, and jiang siming didn''t bother to chase them.


    after landing, cheng he and the other two saw the six fallen players on the ground. they were so excited they didn''t even want to pick up guns; instead, they ran over to punch the enemies to finish them off.


    even though they didn''t get the kills, the feeling of landing and being able to finish off players was just too satisfying.


    honestly, they might not even kill this many people in a whole day of gaming, so they wanted to savor the moment!


    "lin dog, don''t you dare finish them all off! leave two for me!" the principal had only managed to finish off one and was furious.


    lin dog didn''t care; after finishing off the enemies, he ran to the buildings to loot, leaving the principal both angry and amused. swearing under his breath, he followed to search for equipment.


    because these three big personalities were so down-to-earth, the game was filled with funny moments.


    the audience watched jiang siming''s godly plays while also enjoying the banter and love-hate relationship between lin dog, the principal, and cheng he. the live stream was fantastic!


    out of the six loot boxes, there was only one white fragment left on the ground.


    "picked up [snowfield tracking skill] white fragment *1 (1/1), fragment count complete, ready for immediate use."


    sigh, he missed the london tournament. if this were a tournament, at least three of those boxes would have given him fragments, and all of them would have been good stuff.


    but better than nothing, jiang siming picked it up and returned to the buildings to continue looting.


    the four of them started chatting casually, not paying any attention to the two remaining players in the area.


    "ming god, what about the song collaboration with j i mentioned last time? are you going to accept it or not? j really appreciates you," the principal asked.


    "it would be an honor to collaborate with j, but i don''t have any suitable songs for him at the moment. if i come up with something that fits, i''ll contact him first."


    "alright, no problem," the principal understood immediately and decisively dropped the subject.


    many viewers were confused, unsure what jiang siming''s words meant.


    it wasn''t that jiang siming didn''t want to collaborate with j. after all, who was j? he was a legend in the chinese music scene, known as the ''walking cd,'' the prince of love songs, and the youth of a generation.


    being approached for a song by j was, of course, something that made jiang siming happy.


    but since j was using the principal to relay the message, it wasn''t clear if that was his true intention.


    besides, if j really wanted to collaborate, it wouldn''t be hard for someone of his status to get jiang siming''s contact information.


    but jj hadn''t done that, and jiang siming hadn''t received any direct calls from him.

 Chapter 146: Mastering Recoil Control

    it can be speculated that jj currently only has the idea in mind but doesn''t fully believe that jiang siming can truly write him a suitable song.


    jiang siming, being a savvy social veteran, could immediately see that the other party wasn''t confident in him yet.


    so, while the other party hadn''t shown enough sincerity, jiang siming had no intention of trying to ingratiate himself.


    these things are about mutual consent and respect, right?


    it''s not that jj disrespects him, but jj is a senior figure in the music industry with a legendary reputation. jiang siming, a nobody who just happened to write two or three good songs, couldn''t expect jj to suddenly view him as a genius.


    there are plenty of people who can write a couple of good songs. if jiang siming were in jj''s position, he wouldn''t easily believe in a young person with such limited achievements either.


    this matter would have to wait for another time.


    "do you have any high-power scopes? i only have a 3x, and i don''t know how to use this new scope," cheng he finally brought up something related to the game, asking for equipment...


    "i have a 4x here, you can give me the 3x," jiang siming said.


    "oh no, how can i accept that? you''re the backbone of our team. if i take your high-power scope, lin dog and the principal will roast me alive," cheng he quickly declined.


    "no worries, there''s no difference between the 3x and 4x for me. since this 3x scope is new and a lot of players don''t know how to use it yet, i''ll use it to demonstrate and give everyone a tutorial," jiang siming chuckled.


    the audience was moved, praising ming god for always thinking about the ordinary viewers.


    "well, since ming god said that, what else is there to say? of course, i''ll hand it over! and teach us too while you''re at it!" cheng he laughed and swapped the scopes with jiang siming.


    lin dog and the principal were also eager to listen.


    although they weren''t great players, they were always willing to learn techniques. after all, they didn''t want to keep dying right after landing in every game.


    "actually, the 3x scope is very useful. you can use it for short, mid, and long ranges, and if your aim is steady enough, you can even use the 3x as your basic scope since it''s easy to control the recoil, like this."no?v(el)b\\jnn


    while speaking, jiang siming aimed at the wall and fired a burst with the g36c using the 3x scope. this was with no attachments on the g36c.


    the 30 bullets hit the wall, forming a perfect single spot.


    everyone was amazed¡ªsuch recoil control, as expected of ming god!


    many people found it very helpful after listening, all shouting that it was indeed very useful!


    they even referred to jiang siming as their master! after all, he was taught by ming god, so of course, he deserved the title.


    under jiang siming''s guidance, the three of them also got caught up in the fun of controlling recoil.


    surprisingly, principal wang learned the fastest. with jiang siming''s tips, he managed to control his gun very steadily, showing hints of a skilled player.


    "hahaha, you two clowns, look at how steady my shots are compared to yours. you''re terrible!" principal wang shouted excitedly, feeling a sense of accomplishment.


    at that moment, two players who had been lurking in the nearby area quietly approached. seeing principal wang standing so arrogantly outside the house, they immediately opened fire on him, and he fell to the ground.


    "what the hell?!" principal wang exclaimed, startled.


    just as he was about to be finished off, jiang siming raised his hand and easily took care of the two players, then helped him up.


    principal wang felt relieved; if it weren''t for jiang siming, he would have had to watch the game from the sidelines.


    however, seeing lin dog and cheng he not only failing to come to his rescue but instead running off to loot, principal wang angrily cursed at them.


    "you two idiots, ming god, you''re my real brother!"


    in an invisible way, jiang siming was promoted to being principal wang''s brother. of course, whether it was genuine brotherhood remained to be seen.


    the game wrapped up in just twenty minutes, with no difficulty whatsoever. jiang siming led the three of them to a victorious chicken dinner.


    "damn, playing games and getting a chicken dinner with ming god is way too easy," cheng he marveled.


    isn''t that right? they didn''t have to exert much effort; all they needed to do was spot enemies and shoot, and they even occasionally snagged a few kills.


    and just like that, they made their way through and... got the chicken dinner...


    even when principal wang often sought out popular streamers like thomas and lan zhanfei to play with him in pubg, it usually took an average of ten games to get one chicken dinner, and most of the time, it was after he had already died...


    now playing with jiang siming felt as easy as playing house; he hadn''t died at all and had even taken five kills! more than cheng he and lin dog combined.


    principal wang was thrilled, waving his hand grandly, he gifted jiang siming twenty spaceships.

 Chapter 147: His Fans Rejected it for Him!

    "it seems like it''s still easy to make money with the boss," jiang siming joked with a smile.


    principal wang laughed and said, "you''re the number one streamer on shark, raking in prize money and ad revenue. how could you still care about this little bit of money?"


    "of course i care. you, principal wang, come from a prestigious background, so you can''t understand what it''s like for those of us who grew up poor. even now that i have money, i don''t dare to spend it recklessly¡ªi''ve gotten used to being frugal."


    "you talk like i''m some kind of aristocrat. old jiang, don''t flatter me," principal wang replied, having also switched to calling him ''old jiang'' repeatedly.


    "no wonder you''re a world champion. even with us playing poorly, we can still win a chicken dinner with ming god," lin dog said, satisfied after winning the game.


    cheng he laughed and said, "reba also loves playing this game, but she''s never won a chicken dinner. haha, next time she''s filming, i''ll have ming god take her."


    before jiang siming could respond to this suggestion, his viewers unexpectedly rejected the idea.


    "no, don''t let my goddess get close to him!"


    "exactly! he''s already charmed older women and tuantuan. what if reba comes and gets charmed too?"


    "yeah, yeah, ming god is not allowed near reba!"


    "although i trust that reba wouldn''t fall for ming god, it''s better to be safe."


    "ming god, don''t even think about touching my wife!"


    ...


    seeing the comments in the chat, jiang siming was speechless, feeling a headache.


    these guys are clearly slandering a young, talented, pure boy like me!


    after playing three more rounds with the trio, all of which ended in chicken dinners, principal wang felt embarrassed to trouble jiang siming further. he, cheng he, and lin dog decided to leave.


    before leaving, cheng he and lin dog had already become close brothers with jiang siming. they even created shark tv alt accounts and gifted him a total of 50,000 yuan before leaving.


    that night, jiang siming didn''t get many fragments¡ªonly four in total, and three of them were golden fragments, just some luxury goods, not even a store.


    the total value was about two million.


    there was only one red fragment, ¡¾basic painting¡¿. jiang siming had already obtained one before, so now he had completed the set.


    this somewhat soothed jiang siming''s ''sad'' heart. although he had mentally prepared for the drop rates to return to normal, the gap and contrast were still a bit disappointing.


    after playing for a while longer, his luck didn''t improve. whether playing solo or in squads, even after switching servers, the drop rate was still frustratingly low.


    only golden fragments appeared, and they were all basic items worth tens of thousands of yuan at most.


    this left jiang siming feeling annoyed, so after securing one last 33-kill chicken dinner, he decided to call it a day.


    today wasn''t a good day for gaming¡ªcultivating immortality was more important. better to go ''cultivate'' with his women~


    "alright, everyone, i''m logging off now," jiang siming said as he prepared to end the stream.


    gifts poured in like snowflakes, as if adding a snowy background to jiang siming''s singing environment.


    even after the three songs were done, the audience still wasn''t satisfied and wanted to hear more.


    dozens of high-ranking supporters teamed up, showering jiang siming with gifts, just to make him sing one more song.


    normally, jiang siming wouldn''t agree to such requests, even for lavish gifts.


    but when the shark tv emperor ¡¾sharkؼxuan¡¿ also asked to hear another song, jiang siming immediately agreed.


    not for any other reason, but because he was planning to visit sister xuan later for some ''cultivation!''


    he had to earn some favor, after all, hehe.


    "alright, alright, you guys win. i''ll sing you a new song, but after that, you''ll let me go, right?"


    "oh my! did he write a new song again?"


    "is ming god writing songs even while competing?"


    "alright, leave the new song, and you can go immediately!"


    "i need to tell my friends! ming god has released a new song!"


    ...


    the audience stopped trying to hold jiang siming back. with a new song in store, their appetites were finally satisfied.


    "you guys are something else. if you keep pushing me like this, i''ll end up being forced into the chinese music scene as a singer," jiang siming covered his face with a bitter smile.


    the audience, on the other hand, laughed heartily, with many expressing their excitement at the idea of jiang siming officially debuting as a singer.


    after adjusting his posture, jiang siming smiled at the camera and said, "today''s song is a lighthearted love song, dedicated to someone who asked me to keep singing."


    with that, jiang siming playfully winked at the camera.


    with a face like his, when jiang siming suddenly gave a flirty look straight at the camera, no girl could resist.


    in an instant, countless girls clutching their phones or computers felt their hearts race, their faces blush, and their bodies heat up.


    even zhao xuan, who had already been intimate with jiang siming, was at home feeling the same way.


    just thinking about him coming over to sleep later made her feel... unclean again after just taking a shower.


    zhao xuan, of course, knew that jiang siming''s remark was about her. she had just privately messaged him, and he immediately agreed.


    taking off her dirty underwear, zhao xuan didn''t bother looking for a new pair.


    "forget it, he''s coming over soon anyway, no need to wear anything~" zhao xuan thought, closing her legs even tighter.

 Chapter 148: Song: Why Not?

    jiang siming''s intro was unusually light and gentle.


    whether it was "riding a horse," "a lonely paris," or "luzhou moon,"


    every one of jiang siming''s songs, from the intro to the ending, had always been sorrowful, filled with a deep sense of heartache.


    they were the kind of songs that could make listeners feel so downcast that even if they won the lottery that day, they''d still feel gloomy afterward.


    so, people thought jiang siming was only good at writing sad love songs, and many were already thinking of crowning him with the title of "prince of heartache ballads."


    but unexpectedly, this song took a complete 180-degree turn¡ªno more sorrow or heartbreak, all of that was pushed aside.


    it was as if, after having a big argument with your partner and feeling devastated,


    suddenly, your partner came over, admitted their mistake, and bought you all the things you love to eat and play with, completely changing their attitude.


    instantly, you would no longer be angry, but instead, you''d be smiling everywhere, feeling sweet and cheerful~


    jiang siming''s piano playing conveyed that same feeling of sweet romance, and there was even a warm smile on his face.


    "the sky seems to be raining


    i seem to live next door to you


    standing dumbly under your building


    counting the dark clouds as i look up


    if a piano appears in this scene


    i would sing to you


    even if buckets of water poured down..."


    the lyrics of the first verse were like a simple narrative, plain enough for even a three-year-old to fully understand.


    normally, the simpler the lyrics of a song, the more unremarkable it sounds. a good song often needs well-crafted lyrics to highlight its beauty.


    but this song was completely different. the lyrics and melody were so simple, so simple that even someone who had only learned guitar or piano for a few months could pick it up quickly.


    and yet, this very simplicity¡ªboth in the lyrics and the melody¡ªimmersed everyone deeply in the ocean of music.


    "summer is almost over


    please buy less ice cream


    when it''s cold, don''t wear short skirts


    and don''t be so mischievous


    if sometimes you''re feeling down


    the audience, however, felt conflicted, wanting to go back on their word and have him sing it a few more times, but they were too embarrassed to break their promise.


    if they had known, they wouldn''t have agreed; they should have made him sing it several more times before letting him go. especially with a new song¡ªhow could just one listen be enough? it should have been at least seven or eight times!


    "sigh, let him go, let him go. i''ll have to go to bilibili later tonight to find an edited version."


    "this song makes me want to fall in love. forgive this restless 27-year-old auntie for being so unsettled."


    "could ming shen be in love? writing such a sweet song, trying to drown us in sweetness?"


    "this song perfectly captures the memories of every couple at the beginning of their relationship. it hits home. thank you, ming shen."


    "you can leave, but remember to make time to record the full version tomorrow, master ming!"


    ...


    no matter what the audience said, jiang siming couldn''t see it anymore. he ended the stream in a flash, went downstairs to grab his car, and headed to the zhao family!


    the next day, jiang siming recorded the song and uploaded it online. having already released four songs, jiang siming had become a rising star in the chinese music industry.


    even many established singers recognized jiang siming''s talent¡ªhis speed and quality in songwriting were extraordinary.


    many music companies were eager to sign him, willing to offer large sums of money to bring jiang siming into their ranks.


    but their hopes were always dashed, as jiang siming didn''t agree to any of them.


    after recording the song, he turned his attention to the stock market. he needed a studio, a talented team to manage everything, and a bunch of professional traders. enjoy more content from empire


    this was an area jiang siming knew nothing about, so he needed to find someone.


    he immediately went to the shanghai stock exchange, the largest hub for stocks and securities in shanghai. here, you could often see billionaires lose everything overnight, or people go from penniless to wealthy in an instant.


    the stock market was hundreds of times more terrifying and thrilling than gambling on jade stones. those who knew how to play could use it to build their fortunes and become super-rich.


    people like buffett, soros, and nissen had used their stock knowledge to earn more than large corporations could in a lifetime.


    but for every one success story, there were hundreds or thousands of failures. many of them came from wealthy families, only to lose everything overnight.


    the high risk and high reward of stocks attracted countless investors.


    when jiang siming arrived at the exchange, he didn''t understand anything that was going on. he only knew that red meant rising, and green meant falling.


    there was a huge led display in the exchange showing various stock information.


    but most of the stocks on the display were green, with very few in red.


    the place wasn''t crowded either, unlike the bustling scene he remembered from a few years ago when he passed by.


    rumor had it that the stock market had been plummeting in recent years, with many people losing everything. it seemed true; otherwise, how could the largest stock exchange in shanghai be so desolate?

 Chapter 149: High School Classmates

    jiang siming came here not to understand these things, but to find someone¡ªa former high school classmate.


    "hello, sir. are you looking for stocks, funds, securities, or...?"


    as soon as he entered, the staff greeted jiang siming with great enthusiasm.


    last night, he had gone to zhao xuan''s house, and unexpectedly, zhao xuan had ordered several sets of men''s clothes for him, all top-tier brands, handcrafted by foreign designers.


    luckily, he had brought zhao xuan a big pile of lv and chanel items, otherwise jiang siming would have felt like a kept man...


    the staff at the securities exchange immediately recognized jiang siming''s high-end attire, which is why they were so attentive.


    "is anyone still daring to buy stocks and securities these days?" jiang siming asked in return.


    "of course, sir. you must be joking. although the market isn''t doing well, it''s precisely in a bearish market that the greatest opportunities to make money arise. after all, scarcity creates value, doesn''t it?"


    the people here were all quick with their words; otherwise, they wouldn''t be able to stay in this business.


    jiang siming thought that if he debated with the man, he would surely win, but he didn''t have time for that.


    "i''m here to find someone."


    "someone from our securities exchange?"


    "yes, i''m looking for li yingzi. is she here?"


    "you''re looking for manager li? do you have an appointment? if not, i''m afraid i can''t take you to see her."


    when the staff heard that jiang siming was just here to find someone, their attitude instantly cooled.


    jiang siming wasn''t annoyed; people like this were everywhere, and he was used to it.


    "i''m her high school classmate. could you please let her know that i''m jiang siming?" jiang siming took out a pack of panda cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the staff member.


    just to pass along a message, and getting a 100-yuan pack of cigarettes¡ªit seemed like a pretty good deal.


    "alright, i''ll pass the message along for you. but whether she sees you or not has nothing to do with me. a lot of guys try to chase her using this kind of excuse, even claiming to be her kindergarten classmates. they all get thrown out, so you''d better be prepared, bro."


    with a knowing tone, the staff member turned and headed to the office area.


    not long after, a well-dressed woman in business attire walked out of the office.


    the previous staff member brought her over to jiang siming.


    hahaha...


    the two of them laughed together, as if they were back at nantian high school, reliving those carefree days in the classroom from years ago.


    in the past, li yingzi wasn''t just the class president; she often referred to herself as "class president ma''am." however, only jiang siming was willing to humor her by calling her that.


    just as the two were about to leave, a tall and slim man in a suit walked out of the general manager''s office.


    upon seeing li yingzi, he put on a standard "nice guy" smile, but when he noticed her holding jiang siming''s arm, his smile froze instantly, replaced with jealousy and gloom.


    however, he quickly changed his expression again, putting on a beaming smile as he called out to li yingzi, "yingzi!"


    both li yingzi and jiang siming turned to look.


    when li yingzi saw who it was, her expression was a bit resigned. "manager liao," she said.


    liao fan walked over, smiling and saying, "yingzi, where are you heading? i was just about to ask you to join me for lunch."


    while liao fan spoke, he didn''t even glance at jiang siming, as if he were invisible.


    "we''re going for coffee. is there a problem?" li yingzi replied simply, showing no interest in accepting liao fan''s lunch invitation.


    "of course, no problem. but aren''t you going to introduce us? this young man looks like a rising star¡ªyou can''t keep me in the dark, can you?"


    just a moment ago, liao fan hadn''t even looked at jiang siming, but now he was trying to flatter him.


    li yingzi didn''t catch on to his tone and politely introduced, "this is my high school classmate, my close male friend and confidant. manager liao, you''re not planning to persuade my classmate to buy stocks and funds, are you?"


    "haha, of course not! i was just curious. you two go ahead, i''ll head off to lunch," liao fan said, though clearly uncomfortable with the terms "close male friend" and "confidant." still, he tried to act magnanimous and walked away.


    "let''s go, xiao mingzi," li yingzi said with a bright smile, linking her arm with jiang siming''s again as she affectionately pulled him along.


    as jiang siming turned to leave, he easily noticed that liao fan''s gaze was far from as generous as he pretended to be.


    but this was li yingzi''s matter, and jiang siming didn''t plan to ask more.


    following li yingzi to a nearby starbucks, he couldn''t help but feel a little amused¡ªthis particular cafe? happened to be one of his own businesses.


    it was his first time visiting, though the manager wasn''t there, and the staff didn''t recognize him.


    after ordering two cups of coffee, the two of them found a quiet spot to sit down.

 Chapter 150: I’m Serious

    "xiao mingzi, how did you suddenly become so handsome? you''re so handsome that even your class president is starting to swoon."


    li yingzi sat across from jiang siming, half-joking as she spoke.


    "you''re not doing bad yourself, class president. the saying ''girls change at eighteen'' really fits you. i bet many of the boys in our class regret not getting closer to you back then," jiang siming responded with a smile.


    back in the day, li yingzi had a very plain appearance¡ªshe always wore her school uniform, was short, wore glasses and braces, and the boys would tease her when they saw her.


    now, li yingzi had completely transformed. in jiang siming''s eyes, she was definitely a beauty.


    although she still couldn''t compare to zhao xuan and wang xinyi, she was undeniably a rare beauty.


    "pfft, i''m lucky they kept their distance. these guys freeze in their tracks when they see a pretty girl, but they avoid unattractive girls like the plague. it''s disgusting!"


    li yingzi took a sip of coffee before continuing, "do you remember the class beauty?"


    "wang xue, right?"


    "so you still think about her?" li yingzi looked at him with a teasing glint in her eyes.


    "you''ve got it wrong. i remember everyone from our class," jiang siming explained, not really sure why he felt the need to explain.


    "that''s better¡ªquick on your feet with words," li yingzi said, then went on to gossip, "at last year''s class reunion, three guys from our class got into a brawl at the hotel, all because they were fighting over who would take wang xue home. it was so awkward for everyone."


    "didn''t anyone want to take you home? you''re no less attractive than wang xue now," jiang siming asked, puzzled.


    "i have my own car. i wouldn''t bother with those perverts, whose minds are only filled with thoughts of women. every time we have a reunion, the guys just talk about nightclubs and bathhouses."


    "the moment any girl in our class looks remotely good, those guys start fawning all over her. nowadays, class reunions are just about showing off who''s more successful or trying to hook up with someone. it''s disgusting. i''m actually thinking of skipping this year''s reunion," li yingzi grumbled.


    "then don''t go. why force yourself?"


    "easy for you to say. i''m the class president; i can''t just not go," li yingzi shot jiang siming a side-eye.


    "by the way, what did you need me for?"


    jiang siming took a sip of coffee and said, "i heard that class president is an expert in stocks and securities, so i wanted to ask you for help."


    "you''re not thinking of investing in stocks, are you?"


    "bingo."


    "the initial moves won''t be too big, about 30 million each time."


    find more to read at empire


    "hiss!" li yingzi gasped.


    thirty million was quite common during the bull market years ago¡ªmoney was everywhere.


    but in the past two years, the market had crashed. she''d only seen people lose tens of millions or even billions, but very few dared to invest tens of millions anymore.


    "are you crazy?"


    "i''m serious."


    "you... fine. you''re still as stubborn as you were in high school. i won''t bother trying to convince you."


    then, there was a brief silence as they both stirred their coffee with their spoons.


    li yingzi broke the silence first.


    "xiao mingzi, how have things been for you these past few years?"


    li yingzi shifted away from the topic of stocks and started to chat with jiang siming.


    "not bad, i''ve been hustling in shanghai, trying to achieve something to make my family proud."


    "you can invest tens of millions in stocks now and still say you haven''t achieved anything? that''s too much of a blow to me," li yingzi joked.


    "i only made a comeback recently; otherwise, i wouldn''t have had the courage to meet you."


    "you mean you wouldn''t come to see me if you weren''t doing well? have you forgotten that we were best friends in high school, practically siblings? right after graduation, you disappeared. that''s so unfair."


    "i''ve realized my mistakes now, so i''ve come to apologize to class president. i''ll treat you to a big dinner tonight as a peace offering."


    "that sounds fair enough. no need for a fancy dinner, just some crayfish will do!"


    "no problem! let''s hit up a late-night snack spot!"


    "haha, then i''ll make sure to really milk the rich guy tonight."


    their laughter was so loud that it caught the attention of the other starbucks customers, prompting li yingzi to quickly stick out her tongue and lower her voice.

 Chapter 151: You’ve Got a Keen Eye for This Dung

    "by the way, are you dating anyone now?"


    "i am. what about you?" jiang siming answered honestly.


    "me? no." li yingzi sighed, suddenly feeling a bit down.


    "you''re just too picky. that guy who called you at the stock exchange earlier seemed like he was pursuing you."


    li yingzi rubbed her forehead helplessly and said, "he was my classmate in university and has been chasing me ever since. it''s been over three years since we graduated, and he''s even become my boss."


    "then why don''t you say yes?"


    "i just don''t have feelings for him, and besides, i always feel like he''s not sincere," li yingzi replied.no?v(el)b\\jnn


    jiang siming gave her a thumbs up and said, "class president, you really have sharp eyes."


    "let''s not talk about him. first, show me what your girlfriend looks like. i want to see who managed to snag you, such a great guy." li yingzi reached out, asking for a photo.


    jiang siming didn''t hide anything and pulled out some photos he had taken with wang xinyi to show her.


    as soon as li yingzi saw them, she exclaimed, "wow! xiao mingzi, you really have good taste! you found such a beautiful flower for yourself!"


    a dark cloud seemed to form over jiang siming''s forehead, and he said wryly, "class president, just a moment ago you called me a great guy."


    "did i say that? you must have misheard."


    li yingzi took another look at the photo and handed the phone back to jiang siming, sincerely praising, "your girlfriend is much prettier than me. well done, xiao mingzi, you''ve made our nantian town proud."


    "you should step up too, class president. there are plenty of good men out there. don''t let them pass you by," jiang siming encouraged her.


    he genuinely only saw li yingzi as his best friend, nothing more, since they were so close that he had no other thoughts about her.


    "let''s drop this topic. i''m hungry. let''s go eat something!" li yingzi seemed like she didn''t want to talk about it any further.


    "sure, is there a good snack stall nearby?"


    "yes, i know a place. they have the best and most authentic crayfish."


    "alright, let''s go."


    "let''s go. i''ll grab the car, and you can pay the bill."


    they both stood up and left. li yingzi went ahead to get the car, while jiang siming took the opportunity to chat briefly with the store manager to get a sense of how the business was doing.


    it turned out to be quite good. this starbucks made about 300,000 yuan in profit each month. while it might not seem like much, it was just a franchise cafe? after all.


    "won''t your girlfriend get jealous if she finds out?"


    "good point. guess i''ll head out now, class president." with that, jiang siming opened the car door and pretended to run away.


    "get back here, you brat! now you''re even daring to mess with me!" li yingzi laughed and playfully grabbed jiang siming to pull him back.


    jiang siming laughed heartily as the two of them returned to the stock exchange.


    "the securities office had already closed, but liao fan was still standing at the entrance.


    seeing jiang siming still there, a flicker of anger flashed in liao fan''s eyes, though he hid it well.


    ''yingzi, i''m really sorry. my client suddenly wanted to see last year''s securities report. if i don''t show him, he''ll get upset. i had no choice but to disturb you while you were hanging out with your classmate. bro, sorry about that.''


    liao fan put on a sincere face and even apologized to jiang siming.


    ''it''s nothing, work is work, i understand,'' jiang siming replied with a forced smile.


    ''thank you for understanding,'' liao fan said, looking ''moved.''


    ''what kind of client would need last year''s report? different years'' reports can''t be used for comparison anyway,'' li yingzi asked suspiciously.


    ''i thought the same, but you know how these clients are ¡ª always paranoid. they won''t invest unless you show them something,'' liao fan said, shrugging.


    ''what a hassle. xiao ming, come to the office with me. there''s no place to sit here. once i finish, we''ll go eat crayfish, and maybe hit a karaoke bar after. i haven''t sung in ages,'' li yingzi suggested.


    hearing this, liao fan felt even more uneasy. his plan was to get li yingzi away from jiang siming, but now it had backfired ¡ª they were planning to go karaoke late at night.


    ''yingzi, it''s so late. you''re still planning to go karaoke? don''t you have work tomorrow?'' liao fan said with a smile, trying to dissuade her.


    then, as if thoughtfully, he turned to jiang siming and added, ''bro, don''t take her too seriously. that''s just how she is, friendly with everyone. but she has work tomorrow, don''t keep her out too late.''


    jiang siming ignored him, lighting a cigarette and taking a slow puff, exhaling a cloud of smoke.


    ''xiao ming, since when did you, the model student, learn to smoke? but you look pretty cool doing it, kind of like my idol takeshi kaneshiro,'' li yingzi said as she walked into the office, motioning for jiang siming to follow.


    jiang siming obligingly followed her, both of them casually ignoring liao fan.


    standing at the door, liao fan clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, but he finally swallowed his anger and followed them into li yingzi''s office.


    jiang siming and li yingzi seemed to have anticipated his presence and didn''t pay him any mind.


    while li yingzi worked on the report, jiang siming lounged on the small sofa where li yingzi usually rested, playing *honor of kings*. though a silver iii rank, he fancied himself a skilled player, skillfully feeding with diao chan..."

 Chapter 152: Late-Night Takeout Connoisseur

    "bro, why are you sitting on yingzi''s private sofa? she loves that little sofa the most and never lets anyone touch it. you should get up quickly before you make her angry."


    liao fan walked over, anxiously trying to persuade him. his voice was louder than the sound of yingzi typing on her keyboard, as if he was afraid she wouldn''t hear.


    "what does it have to do with you? why do you talk so much? can''t you see i''m trying to rank up? if i lose this game, are you going to take the blame for me?" jiang siming retorted, shutting him down.


    a flash of anger crossed liao fan''s face, but he still wasn''t ready to give up. he turned to li yingzi and said, "yingzi, take a look yourself. i can''t control your classmate. not only did he sit on your favorite little sofa, but he''s lying down on it, without even taking off his shoes!"


    at this moment, liao fan resembled a schoolboy tattling to the teacher.


    jiang siming acted like he didn''t hear a thing, and even gracefully took a moment to pick his nose with his right hand.


    without turning around, li yingzi replied, "i told him to sit there. do you have a problem with that?"


    "but you normally hate it when anyone touches that sofa," liao fan said, his face full of confusion.


    he once accidentally sat on it and got scolded by li yingzi in front of a whole group of colleagues. she even took the cushions off and replaced them with new ones.


    that''s when he realized li yingzi had a serious cleanliness obsession. her personal items were strictly off-limits to others.


    yet, for some reason, jiang siming didn''t seem to be an issue.


    "that''s because he''s not just anyone. xiao ming isn''t like the others. do you have any business here? if not, please leave, and make sure to close the door on your way out," li yingzi said without turning around, her fingers still rapidly typing away.


    liao fan was furious. he glanced at jiang siming, who was now lying down, and jealousy, resentment, and frustration bubbled inside him.


    "no problem, i''ll just sit here for a bit and chat with this brother," he said.


    without caring whether li yingzi agreed or not, he pulled up a chair and sat next to jiang siming, trying to strike up a conversation.


    "bro, you''ve got some sharp style. what''s your profession?"


    "late-night food delivery taste tester," jiang siming responded coolly.


    "what? there''s such a job?" liao fan asked, confused.


    "of course. i''m also a back-to-bed nap artist, the best actor in ''whatever, we''ll see,'' an exclusive spokesperson for ''i''ll think about it,'' and the sole inheritor of the ancient non-material art of being perpetually broke."


    in liao fan''s mind, he was screaming all sorts of curses, but he couldn''t say a word aloud. he was so angry he could''ve strangled jiang siming.


    "yingzi, you''ve misunderstood. i was just curious and wanted to know more about you..."


    "cut the crap! get out, i don''t want to see you!" li yingzi immediately ordered him to leave.


    liao fan wanted to salvage the situation, but li yingzi was clearly angry, and he had no choice but to reluctantly stand up.


    before leaving, he glared at jiang siming with fury and said, "don''t even think about getting any of those people''s contact numbers. you won''t get a single one!"


    "it''s fine. didn''t you say yingzi knows them too? plus, she''s right here." jiang siming flashed a bright smile, showing his white teeth. liao fan gritted his own in frustration and eventually stormed off in anger.


    "xiao mingzi, did you do that on purpose?" li yingzi asked, half angry, half amused as she locked her gaze on jiang siming.


    "of course not. shouldn''t i have told you? if anyone asks in the future, i''ll just answer truthfully, okay?"


    "you dare!" li yingzi raised the pen in her hand, looking fierce.


    at that moment, jiang siming felt like he was back in high school. this was her signature move, one he often saw when she stood by his desk.


    "come on, hurry up and finish your work. i''m about to fall asleep here, and i''m waiting to eat lobster," jiang siming said.


    after more than an hour, li yingzi finally finished her report. as they walked out of the office, they found liao fan still waiting outside.


    jiang siming was impressed. this guy''s persistence really was something.


    but this kind of desperate, clingy approach to courting a girl only made them dislike him more. experience tales at empire


    wasn''t this a perfect example?


    "liao fan, here''s the report you wanted. you can discuss it with your clients. xiao ming, let''s go," li yingzi said with a cold expression.


    liao fan realized that if he didn''t make some kind of move now, his relationship with li yingzi would probably enter the ice age after today.


    he quickly pulled out a large bouquet of roses he had just bought and ran to li yingzi, dropping to one knee, attempting to turn a passive situation into an active one!

 Chapter 153: True Colors Revealed

    "yingzi, i don''t want to hide it anymore; i like you! today i was irrational because i got jealous seeing you with another man again. i really like you. will you be my girlfriend?"


    this sudden confession left li yingzi momentarily at a loss.


    she admitted that she didn''t dislike liao fan. after all, he had been pursuing her for so many years. but she definitely didn''t like him either.


    if there''s no feeling, there''s just no feeling. this forced confession didn''t move li yingzi at all; instead, it put her in a very awkward and passive position.


    she didn''t know how to handle it or how to respond. if she rejected him, she and liao fan probably wouldn''t even be able to remain friends.


    how awkward would it be for them in the company afterward?


    li yingzi felt her mind spinning.


    at that moment, a business card suddenly slipped out of liao fan''s pocket as he kneeled on one knee.


    jiang siming, who was standing right beside him, curiously picked it up and took a look. it was a card with the florist''s name and contact number.


    thinking it was nothing, he flipped the card over, only to find a line of words written on the back.


    "mr. liao, my husband went out to restock. i''ll be waiting for you at the store at 11 tonight. don''t keep me waiting, okay? muah~"


    the delicate, flowing handwriting was unmistakably from a woman, and there was even a red heart at the end¡ªdefinitely not written by a man.


    when liao fan saw the card in jiang siming''s hand, he realized he was in trouble and quickly moved to snatch it back.


    but jiang siming wasn''t one to be easily outmatched, and there was no way liao fan could snatch it from him with just his average strength.


    "mr. liao, who''s this person waiting for you at 11? the florist''s wife?" jiang siming asked with a sly grin.


    li yingzi snapped out of her conflicted thoughts and, intrigued, took the card from jiang siming to have a look.


    "liao fan, you really are something. if it weren''t for this card, i''d never have found out about your true colors! seducing another man''s wife¡ªare you even human?" li yingzi said, flinging the card onto liao fan''s face.


    liao fan''s face turned pale as he immediately began explaining, "listen to me, yingzi. just let me explain."


    explore more adventures at empire


    "explain what? are you going to say it was the florist himself, not his wife? what, are you gay?"


    when a person''s true nature is exposed, it''s almost impossible to hide again.


    li yingzi never imagined liao fan would turn out like this. her intuition had always been right¡ªher reason for not agreeing to be with him was that she always felt something was off about him.


    here is the sentence-by-sentence translation:


    ---


    at this moment, jiang siming, who had been watching the scene, stepped forward. he finally finished his cigarette, extinguished the butt, flicked it with his finger, and landed it precisely in the trash can.


    "manager liao, don''t you know the saying ''the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it''?"


    "hmph, what do you mean?" liao fan sneered.


    jiang siming raised his phone, showing the screen where the recording function was clearly running. it had already been recording for several minutes, meaning it had captured the entire argument between the two of them.


    "you bastard! you set me up!" liao fan''s face twisted with rage, and he lunged forward, trying to grab jiang siming''s phone.


    jiang siming raised a foot and kicked him, knocking liao fan to the ground, clutching his stomach in pain.


    "you''re involved in blackmail, concealing company funds, and even attempted coercion for sexual relations¡ªattempted rape. i''m sure the police will have a good place for you."


    jiang siming raised the phone in his hand, showing that he had dialed the emergency number.


    jiang siming explained the situation over the phone and then hung up.


    "xiaoming... isn''t this a bit harsh?" li yingzi felt a pang of sympathy.


    "someone like him deserves no sympathy. think about it: if i hadn''t been here today, what would have happened to you? even if he didn''t succeed in his vile plans, he''d just escalate in the future, ruining your job, your career. then he''d easily find an excuse to publicize it within the industry, and you''d never work in finance again."


    jiang siming''s analysis hit the mark, exposing liao fan''s nature with pinpoint accuracy.


    no need to be surprised by jiang siming''s deductive ability; he''d encountered similar situations in the past.


    soon, a team of police cars arrived, and a stern-faced female officer stepped out with a few of her colleagues.


    this female officer looked very familiar, and jiang siming recognized her immediately. she was none other than the police officer li shengxue, who had arrived to handle the aftermath of zhao xiaoxiao''s kidnapping incident.

 Chapter 154: Infiltrating the School

    li shengxue also recognized jiang siming and said with some surprise, "it''s you."


    "what a coincidence, officer li."


    "yes, did something happen to you?" li shengxue first inquired about the situation.


    jiang siming explained what had happened and provided the recording as evidence. the evidence was irrefutable, so no matter how much liao fan tried to deny it, it was useless.


    after hearing the story, li shengxue looked at the still-crying liao fan, who was unsure if he was remorseful or just in pain, and instructed her colleagues, "take him in. also, please bring ms. li yingzi to the station for a statement."


    the police took liao fan away, and li yingzi also got into the police car.


    of course, jiang siming went along too; after all, he had to look out for his class monitor.


    after giving their statements at the police station, the officers released li yingzi and jiang siming.


    as for liao fan, he naturally remained in custody. the charges against him were serious, and with the attempted rape accusation, he might not see freedom for years, if ever.


    "mr. jiang, i won''t disturb you today since you have company. but if you''re free another day, i''d love to visit you. you promised to spar with me, remember?" li shengxue said with a smile.


    jiang siming replied helplessly, "didn''t expect you''d remember that."


    "of course! mr. jiang, you''re not backing out, are you?"


    discover stories with empire


    "of course not. i''ll spar with you when i''m free. see you around."


    leaving the police station, jiang siming took li yingzi back to her place and bought two takeout meals.


    his wish to have crawfish tonight was certainly dashed; after what li yingzi went through, there was no way she''d feel like eating crawfish.


    "don''t be upset. you should be glad you saw through liao fan''s true nature today. he brought this on himself, so why feel guilty over it?"


    jiang siming sat on the couch in li yingzi''s home, digging into the takeout, his cheeks puffed out as he spoke with a muffled voice.


    "but if he goes to jail, his family will be heartbroken," li yingzi said, struggling with the seriousness of him facing jail time.


    jiang siming put down his chopsticks and said, "think about it this way¡ªif i hadn''t been here today, he might''ve succeeded in raping you, which is an even more serious crime, with over fifteen years in prison."


    zhao xiaoxiao attended the shanghai private international language school, where the tuition was extraordinarily high. many celebrities and wealthy families sent their children here¡ªit was a school for the elite.


    when jiang siming arrived, no other parents were there yet; perhaps he had arrived far too early.


    from the school gates, he could hear the clear voices of children reciting lessons, which filled jiang siming with nostalgia.


    this place, which he had once yearned to escape, had now become a cherished memory that could never be relived.


    the school days truly were the best times.


    jiang siming hadn''t understood this before, but now he did. his own school days had long since passed.


    "i''d love to go in and take a look." jiang siming felt a sudden urge to enter the school.


    however, the security at the school gate was very strict. there were four guards, and there was no way he could enter through the main gate.


    universities weren''t like these private middle schools; in college, slipping the guard a couple of packs of cigarettes and driving a nice car usually got you through.


    but at this school, where all the kids were from wealthy families, the guards were used to seeing luxury cars and wouldn''t be swayed.


    he glanced at the school''s perimeter wall, which was six or seven meters high, but that posed no challenge for jiang siming.


    he quietly moved past the main gate and found a blind spot in the camera coverage.


    however, the wall at this spot was also the highest¡ªalmost eight or nine meters. for an average person, it would be impossible to scale, and even with a ladder, they''d likely break a leg coming down.


    after checking his surroundings to ensure no one was watching, jiang siming took a step toward the wall, sprang off with both legs, and seemed to defy gravity as he soared upward.


    if he had still only taken the intermediate genetic serum, his jump wouldn''t have been high enough to clear the nearly nine-meter wall.


    but lately, with his diligent practice of the yin-yang dual cultivation technique, his physical abilities had improved significantly.


    with all his strength, he leaped up, stretched out his arms, and easily grabbed onto the edge of the wall. with one final push, he flipped over it effortlessly.


    "phew! this school''s walls are almost like a prison''s¡ªsuper strict," jiang siming dusted off his hands and darted away from the wall.


    he casually strolled around the scenic campus, marveling at the high-quality environment of this private school, which could easily serve as the set for a luxurious, romantic idol drama.


    as he wandered, he encountered a few passing teachers who simply assumed he was a fellow teacher and didn''t question him.

 Chapter 155: Discovered

    after wandering around for a while, jiang siming arrived at the teaching building for the second-year junior students.


    jiang siming remembered zhao xuan telling him that zhao xiaoxiao was in the second year, in class one.


    he walked curiously into the building, where each floor was designated to one grade level and only had four classes.


    apart from the classrooms, the building was filled with piano rooms, music rooms, dance studios, art rooms, computer rooms, and even taekwondo and judo studios.


    all the facilities inside were high-end; the piano room alone had no less than ten pianos, each worth over a million, rivaling the one in his own home.


    the computer room had only two brands: alienware and apple, and there was even a vr experience room.


    this really was the kind of place that made people envious to the point of frustration.


    jiang siming was filled with admiration, recalling his own school days. his middle and high school years were spent in a single, run-down school in a poor area.


    they crammed all three grades of middle school students, totaling thousands, into an old, nearly abandoned building.


    the entire building was used as classrooms; there wasn''t even a restroom, so after every class, students would rush to the public toilets and compete with older students for stalls.


    there was no such thing as a piano room, and the school didn''t even have a computer. whenever they had computer class, the teacher could only teach theoretical knowledge, leaving the kids envious, dreaming of one day seeing what a computer actually looked like.


    the first floor was for first-year students, so jiang siming went up to the second floor.


    at the far end was class four, currently in session. an english teacher was enthusiastically speaking english, but jiang siming felt that the teacher''s accent was not as good as his own and had a hint of his hometown dialect, making it sound less authentic.


    english, in fact, has many variations, something jiang siming learned after becoming proficient in the language.


    many foreigners speak english with regional accents, just like people in some chinese provinces speak mandarin with an accent.


    although the teacher''s accent wasn''t too strong, jiang siming felt they could still have a better one¡ªlike himself, for example.


    classes three and two were also in session, so jiang siming went straight to class one, only to find the classroom empty.


    a bit puzzled, jiang siming continued walking and eventually heard a gentle, soothing voice like an oriole singing from inside the piano room on the second floor.


    "class, remember that piano technique isn''t difficult. you just need to memorize the keys, understand the music sheets, and practice to continually improve yourself. now, let''s have tian yucheng play ''canon'' for everyone."


    the speaker was likely the piano teacher. jiang siming leaned against the back door, curiously peeking in.


    he immediately spotted the piano teacher, whose voice was as lovely as a songbird''s; he hadn''t expected her appearance to be even more stunning.


    "i think your dad is way more handsome than mine," tian yucheng replied bluntly, without considering how her dad might feel hearing that...


    just as jiang siming was about to leave, the female teacher called out to him.


    "excuse me, mr. teacher. since you also teach piano, could i trouble you to perform a piece on the spot? if you can''t, it would suggest you''re not a piano teacher, and i would have to question your identity, possibly asking the security guard to handle it." the teacher stood in front of jiang siming, her elegance mixed with authority and diligence.


    when it came to student safety, she would take full responsibility and would never let a stranger wander freely within the school.


    "well...alright, i''ll play," jiang siming replied reluctantly, knowing she would definitely call security if he refused.


    not wanting to be escorted off school grounds by the security guards, jiang siming decided to comply.


    thankfully, he did have piano skills; otherwise, this would''ve been quite the ordeal.


    walking straight to an empty piano, jiang siming casually ran his hand across the keys, exuding confidence.


    as he sat on the piano bench, jiang siming''s entire demeanor transformed!


    this skilled warm-up move caught the female teacher''s attention, and a hint of trust flickered in her eyes; maybe he really could play the piano.


    the kids in the classroom gathered around him, intrigued.


    zhao xiaoxiao leaned against the piano, winking at him playfully, to which jiang siming responded with a glance before refocusing on the keys.


    "what piece would you like to hear?" he asked the teacher with a smile.


    "the *piano concerto no. 3*. can you play it?" the female teacher purposely chose a particularly challenging piece from the piano repertoire.


    this piece was extremely difficult¡ªeven those who passed the level 10 piano exam might not be able to play it well.


    she could manage it, but even then, it was challenging. playing it once left her sweating and exhausted, and she struggled to capture the piece''s essence and elegance.


    she didn''t believe jiang siming could play it, thinking he''d feel troubled, and then she''d suggest a simpler piece instead.


    but jiang siming didn''t hesitate. he nodded calmly and turned back to the keys.


    the teacher was stunned. was he really going to play *piano concerto no. 3*?


    then, the music pulled her out of her astonishment.

 Chapter 156: Yin Zhirou

    rachmaninoff''s *piano concerto no. 3* embodies the most resilient russian spirit and immense vitality.


    this piece doesn''t require exquisite piano techniques but demands an ironclad will and extraordinary physical strength.


    this piece is referred to as the "elephant concerto," symbolizing its size and weight. a famous music scholar once described playing it as being physically equivalent to "shoveling ten tons of coal," highlighting its difficulty.


    moreover, an australian pianist experienced a mental breakdown after playing this piece, showcasing the emotional impact it possesses!


    rachmaninoff said that only horowitz could interpret this piano concerto well.


    if someone learning piano boasts about being able to play *piano concerto no. 3*, please give them a slap to wake them up.


    and right now, jiang siming is playing exactly this piece.


    the prelude matches perfectly, without missing a beat.


    the female teacher listens intently; the earlier sections are relatively simple, so it''s normal for someone to play them.


    however, this piece becomes increasingly strenuous as it progresses, like a person initially equipped for battle who gradually finds themselves weighed down by lead weights, making each step heavier. eventually, it becomes a struggle even to move, leading to exhaustion and abandonment of the performance.


    but as she continues to listen, jiang siming''s playing remains steady; he has unknowingly reached the middle section.


    this is already the limit for the female teacher herself; she struggles to play smoothly here, breathing heavily and sweating, her fingers feeling like they''ve been filled with mercury, becoming increasingly painful.


    yet, jiang siming seems completely unaffected by this burden; his playing flows as smoothly and rapidly as before.


    the heavy yet vibrant notes fill the piano room, and although the children may not understand the piece, they are captivated by it, sitting quietly and attentively.


    the teacher''s heart feels heavy, resonating with the emotions conveyed in the music, as if she sees pavel korchagin from *how the steel was tempered*.


    as a youth, he participated in the revolution, fighting fiercely against the enemy, leaving him covered in scars. after the war, he worked tirelessly until paralyzed and blind. he once contemplated suicide out of despair, but ultimately overcame unimaginable difficulties through his tenacious will.


    at that time, russians were greatly influenced by this book, which indirectly accelerated the development of the industrial revolution in russia. many were inspired by this book to cultivate a strong fighting spirit.


    the spirit expressed by this piece is the same as that conveyed in the book: a spirit and fighting will as strong as steel.


    in the blink of an eye, the final segment arrives.


    yet, jiang siming shows no signs of stopping; his fingers are like ten tireless robots, oblivious to fatigue.


    as he reaches the final section, the female teacher suddenly sheds tears of emotion.


    it isn''t until the music ends that she realizes her lapse in composure and quickly turns to wipe her tears.


    at that moment, a familiar little face leaned over and replied, "yes, teacher. our teacher yin has mentioned that her heart isn''t good."


    "people with heart problems usually carry their medication with them," jiang siming said, immediately pressing on yin zhirou''s pocket.


    the pocket connected to her thigh, and jiang siming unintentionally touched the female teacher''s leg, but he pretended it didn''t happen.


    there was no medication in her pocket, so jiang siming said to the students, "go find teacher yin''s bag; the medicine might be in there."


    the students obediently went to look for the bag while jiang siming began to perform...


    don''t misunderstand; it wasn''t anything inappropriate.


    just some professional cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques, although he had to press on her chest.


    at this moment, jiang siming didn''t care much about that; he completely "ignored" the softness in front of yin zhirou''s chest.


    yes, he completely ignored it; really, he was an upright doctor!


    he waited until the children brought back yin zhirou''s bag, and indeed, he found a bottle of heart medication inside.


    jiang siming immediately gave it to her; the medicine dissolved on contact, so he didn''t need to use "other" methods to administer it.


    after giving her the medicine, jiang siming held yin zhirou''s finger and used a hairpin from a girl student to prick the tip of her finger.


    before long, under the adoring gazes of the children, yin zhirou gradually regained consciousness and woke up. read exclusive content at empire


    as soon as yin zhirou opened her eyes, she found herself lying in jiang siming''s arms, his face less than half a meter away from hers, resembling lovers nestled together.


    before yin zhirou could move, jiang siming immediately let her go, sighing in relief as he said:


    "teacher yin, you should carry your medication with you if you have a heart condition; it''s too dangerous to do otherwise."


    yin zhirou then realized, feeling embarrassed as she said, "i came in a rush today and left my bag in the office."


    "you need to be more careful. it seems like other teachers from the school are coming; i''ll take my leave now. goodbye."


    jiang siming finished speaking and walked away without looking back. yin zhirou wanted to keep him, but as soon as he stepped out the door, he disappeared from sight.


    "kids, can anyone tell me what just happened?"


    yin zhirou asked, puzzled. normally, when she had an episode without medication, she would need to stay in the hospital for several days to regain consciousness.


    how was she awake so quickly today?

 Chapter 157: You’re Not Being Honest

    the students didn''t hold back at all and explained everything that had just happened, including how jiang siming had pressed on her chest.


    yin zhirou felt her cheeks flush, a warm sensation rising in her chest.


    soon, the school''s head teachers and the medical staff arrived.


    "i''m fine, thanks to teacher jiang for saving me," yin zhirou explained to everyone.


    "teacher jiang? is there a teacher with the last name jiang at our school?" the principal asked, somewhat puzzled.


    "no, there aren''t many teachers or students at our school, and i''ve never heard of a teacher with the last name jiang," the head of education said firmly.


    "could it be a foreign teacher using a chinese name? teacher yin, was your rescuer a foreigner?" the principal inquired.


    yin zhirou shook her head and replied, "no, he''s a huaxia person. but he said he''s the new piano teacher named jiang daming."


    "new? we haven''t had any new teachers come to our school this year."


    now everyone was a bit confused. what was going on? the principal immediately ordered someone to check the surveillance footage.


    after reviewing the footage, they found that jiang siming''s face was not captured; only his back was visible.


    at this point, yin zhirou was starting to feel dazed. who had actually saved her?


    only zhao xiaoxiao and tian yucheng, two mischievous girls, were hiding nearby, giggling.


    quietly returning to the school gate, jiang siming was leisurely whistling, leaning against a big tree while smoking, looking completely nonchalant.


    at this time, there was only half an hour left until school ended, and most parents had already arrived.


    a familiar young parent walked past jiang siming, and he instantly recognized her.


    wasn''t this tian yu, the diving champion from huaxia who later transitioned to being an entertainer? he didn''t expect her child to be in this school.


    after transitioning from athlete to entertainer, tian yu had been very successful, especially after appearing on the variety show *where are we going, dad?*, which boosted her popularity.


    suddenly, jiang siming recalled the little girl who had answered his question in class. no wonder she looked so familiar; she was sen die.


    the little girl had grown up so much and was now in the same class as zhao xiaoxiao. what a coincidence!


    "hey, i don''t think we''ve met before," tian yu said as she approached jiang siming.


    jiang siming didn''t expect her to initiate a conversation, so he politely replied, "i''m here to pick up someone''s child."


    tian yu thought to himself, waving to tian yucheng, "sen die, come here to dad."


    tian yu felt a bit envious of zhao xiaoxiao''s closeness to jiang siming. sen die used to be very attached to him when she was little, but now that she was older, she had become more reserved. how frustrating.


    tian yucheng walked up to tian yu, but her cute little eyes kept darting over to jiang siming.


    "uncle jiang, i''m tian yucheng, xiaoxiao''s classmate," she unexpectedly greeted jiang siming.


    the little girl might have been impressed after seeing jiang siming play the piano and rescue teacher yin in the classroom earlier. young girls had a strong sense of admiration.


    plus, with jiang siming being so handsome, tian yucheng, who was already in the second year of middle school, understood what it meant to be a good-looking guy¡ªuncle jiang definitely fit that description!


    "hello, yucheng, you''re really pretty. you''ll definitely be a great beauty in the future," jiang siming complimented.


    not only was tian yu pleased, but tian yucheng was also beaming with joy; being praised by uncle jiang was more effective than anyone else''s compliments.


    after a brief goodbye to tian yu, jiang siming took zhao xiaoxiao toward where he had parked his car.


    along the way, jiang siming tried to set the little girl down, but zhao xiaoxiao refused to let go, tightly wrapping her arms around his neck and hooking her legs around his waist.


    she clung to him like a little sloth.


    "zhao xiaoxiao, how old are you to still be letting someone carry you? hurry up and get down," jiang siming said, feeling a bit overwhelmed.


    "i don''t want to! i just want you to hold me! you complimented yucheng for being pretty and didn''t say anything about me!" zhao xiaoxiao pouted, clearly jealous.


    "you''re pretty too; you''re much prettier than her, alright?" jiang siming replied helplessly. kids these days were really hard to deal with.


    "that''s better! but i''m still not getting down. daddy, hold me, my legs are sore!"


    zhao xiaoxiao clung onto jiang siming, even shifting around, pressing her budding curves against his chest.


    jiang siming thought to himself that this was bad; his brotherhood was on the verge of "rebelling." this definitely wasn''t good!


    he quickly walked to his car and opened the door, shoving the little girl into the passenger seat.


    zhao xiaoxiao noticed jiang siming''s awkwardness and covered her mouth, giggling. with a bright smile, she said, "daddy, you''re not being honest~"


    jiang siming was exasperated and said, "can you not call me daddy? i''m not that old!"


    it wasn''t just about age; every time this girl called him daddy, jiang siming felt a strong sense of guilt.

 Chapter 158: Lord Zhao and Lord Jiang

    "calling you uncle is fine, but you have to take me to electric city to play now; i want to play with the electric toys~"


    zhao xiaoxiao raised her price and took advantage of the situation.


    jiang siming had no way to deal with her for the time being, so he could only compromise.


    the two drove to electric city, and zhao xiaoxiao hummed a song while licking a giant lollipop.


    jiang siming felt that the way this girl was eating the lollipop seemed a bit inappropriate. was it just his twisted thoughts...?


    "uncle jiang, you took our teacher out today; what do you plan to do about it?" zhao xiaoxiao asked with a grin.


    "when did i take your teacher out? that''s too ridiculous," jiang siming said, stopping at the intersection to wait for the red light.


    "come on, you played the piano and saved her. how could my pure and kind piano teacher resist such an ''attack''? she''s probably had a crush on you for a long time," zhao xiaoxiao said with an adult tone, refusing to be ignored.


    jiang siming even suspected this girl might be a time traveler, harboring the soul of a 70-year-old woman!


    "if you keep talking nonsense, i''ll send you back," jiang siming pretended to be angry.


    "don''t! i haven''t been to electric city for a long time, and my mom is working overtime today; just take me to have some fun~" zhao xiaoxiao immediately backed down.


    jiang siming felt a sense of adult authority returning to him. it seemed this girl wasn''t a time traveler; a 70-year-old woman wouldn''t want to play with electric toys, right?


    they drove to a large electric city nearby. as soon as they entered, zhao xiaoxiao got excited, pulling jiang siming to buy 300 yuan worth of game tokens.


    then she took him to play king of fighters at the arcade.


    jiang siming really didn''t expect this girl to enjoy such a violent game. do girls really like playing king of fighters ''97? and she was born after the ''00s!


    but seeing how much she liked it, jiang siming played a few rounds with her, only to lose every time.


    zhao xiaoxiao even beat him three times in a row using just yashiro.


    "uncle jiang, you''re so bad! aren''t you supposed to be the world game champion?" zhao xiaoxiao teased. continue reading stories on empire


    "my game is on pc, alright? besides, i haven''t played this game in years; i''m really out of practice," jiang siming awkwardly made excuses, feeling embarrassed to be beaten by a little girl.


    after playing a few more rounds, he still kept losing.


    zhao xiaoxiao stood up, feeling disheartened, and pulled jiang siming to the next game: a racing simulator.


    seeing jiang siming, zhao xuanzhao shot him a reproachful look with her beautiful eyes, as if blaming him for taking her daughter out to play.


    jiang siming responded with a radiant smile, then he carried zhao xiaoxiao upstairs, placed her in her bedroom, tucked her in, and closed the door before coming downstairs.


    "you really spoil xiaoxiao; she still has school tomorrow, and you brought her home so late," zhao xuanzhao said as she poured a glass of water for jiang siming, leaning her body against his embrace.


    "isn''t it because i saw how tired she was from school every day? besides, it''s not that late; it''s only nine o''clock. it''s fine. xiaoxiao does so well in her studies; she can manage herself," jiang siming said as he wrapped his arm around zhao xuanzhao''s shoulder and took a sip of lemon water.


    "but you can''t just leave me home alone while you go out to have fun. i end up looking like the bad guy, while you get to be the good one," zhao xuanzhao said, pretending to be angry as she lightly tapped jiang siming''s chest.


    jiang siming took zhao xuanzhao''s delicate hand and said with a mischievous smile, "it''s my fault, it''s my fault. i''ve set aside the entire evening just for you. come on, let''s go to bed."


    zhao xuanzhao''s face turned crimson as she gave jiang siming a big eye roll, but her feet were already off the ground as he carried her back to the room.


    ...


    "why not?" had fermented over the course of a day and was now available on all major music platforms.


    although it was still outside the top ten, its upward momentum was comparable to that of "galloping horse" and "a person''s paris."


    in particular, many short video platforms began using this song as background music, providing significant promotional power for "why not?"


    having released four singles, jiang siming was steadily gaining fans, becoming a somewhat well-known figure in the pop music scene in huaxia.


    more music companies and talent agencies were showing interest in jiang siming.


    throughout the day, jiang siming received five calls, all from companies wanting to sign contracts with him.


    his popularity was beginning to ferment, like a bottle of yeast wine, becoming more aromatic with the accumulation of achievements and the passage of time, attracting more distant guests.


    jiang siming''s "wine aroma" had already caught the attention of a well-known variety show platform. the director was quite interested in him and was considering whether it was worth inviting him over.


    however, jiang siming was unaware of all this. li yingzi informed him that the company model had been tentatively established.


    currently, there were only a few people; there were only five operators, and the company didn''t even have an administration or reception, nor had it been decorated.


    li yingzi had temporarily rented a residential house with jiang siming''s money, planning to place computers there until the company was fully decorated before moving everyone over.


    looking at the very simple living room of the three-bedroom apartment, which housed a dozen computers, he saw five older operators standing in front of him, looking at jiang siming with a mix of suspicion and curiosity.


    most of them were over thirty-five, three men and two women.

 Chapter 159: Yinghuan Finance

    li yingzi had introduced him to these five individuals, all top-notch traders from the financial market, whom she personally vetted and recruited. their professionalism and character were beyond doubt.


    "very well, even though the company isn''t decorated yet and you''re here in such a rudimentary place, i know it''s a bit of a hardship for everyone. however, once we complete our first deal, you five will be the pillars and veterans of this company, and i will give you each a share of the profits directly," jiang siming said.


    as soon as jiang siming arrived, he began to shower them with sweet talk, but the five traders didn''t seem overly excited.


    having battled in the financial market for so many years, they had seen all kinds of sweet talk before. most of it was just lip service; sometimes when stocks lost money, the boss went bankrupt and couldn''t even pay salaries.


    so regarding this promise, the five of them only said a slightly happy "thank you, chairman."


    jiang siming didn''t mind. he turned to li yingzi and said, "although the conditions aren''t great right now, we must ensure that everyone''s working environment reaches the highest standards possible before the company is decorated."


    "let''s do this: working here will count as three days'' worth of pay, and the meal standards will be particularly emphasized. for you six, each meal should not exceed two thousand yuan. you won''t need to take the subway to work; just take a taxi, and all the fares will be reimbursed by the company. after leaving here, i will personally give each of you a bonus of twenty thousand yuan."


    li yingzi felt a bit dizzy after hearing jiang siming''s words; this treatment was too generous!


    three days'' worth of pay for one day, two thousand yuan per meal¡ªthat adds up to six thousand for the day.


    if they six spent six thousand yuan a day, they could order from high-end restaurants every day.


    getting taxi fare reimbursed for commuting, and then receiving a twenty-thousand-yuan subsidy after returning to the new company?


    was this really the first day on the job, and the boss was already this extravagant in giving benefits?


    this was much more practical than the promise of profit-sharing, as it was tangible and could start right away.


    the previous promises felt too vague; they had no idea what the future would hold. they preferred this concrete offer.


    "thank you, chairman!" the five of them finally showed sincere smiles, clearly happy.


    jiang siming smiled calmly and said, "now, everyone, please take a seat. let president li announce the first work task! the investment amount for this task is twenty million."


    the five were stunned; they hadn''t expected such a large sum at the start, especially since the stock market was quite sluggish right now. a ten-million-dollar order was rare.


    the five of them immediately straightened up, while jiang siming took a seat next to them, leaving the main seat for li yingzi.


    li yingzi knew jiang siming was helping her solidify her position in the company. feeling grateful, she began to explain the "attack" objectives to everyone more seriously.


    "the stock we are focusing on this time is the liang''an stock. it was just released last week, with a very low price of only 1.2 yuan. i believe it will be the dark horse of the market recently."


    liang''an stock?


    "president, all shares of liang''an stock have been acquired. there are still some small investors left; should we buy?"


    "buy them all! twenty-five million must be spent before tomorrow, but be careful. don''t let the opponents catch on; buy quietly and use hundreds of accounts to purchase, so they don''t get a chance to raise the price!"


    ...


    listening to them work away, jiang siming found it dull and couldn''t understand a word of what they were saying.


    he told li yingzi that he was leaving, and she didn''t even look up, just hummed in response and continued her busy work.


    jiang siming couldn''t help but laugh; workaholic li yingzi truly lived up to her reputation.


    with such an assistant, what did he have to worry about? he could go home and sleep peacefully with his wife!


    "chairman!" but li yingzi chased after him from the office.


    "why so formal? don''t you always call me xiao mingzi?" jiang siming asked, puzzled.


    li yingzi shook her head and said seriously, "during working hours, i must call you chairman. it''s the rule. i''ll call you xiao mingzi during break times."


    "alright, suit yourself. what do you want to call me?" jiang siming asked.


    "our company name hasn''t been decided yet, chairman."


    "oh, how could i forget about that!" jiang siming slapped his thigh.


    li yingzi pressed her temple, feeling unlucky to have such an unreliable boss.


    "how about we call it siming finance?" li yingzi suggested.


    jiang siming immediately shook his head, saying, "no, no, that''s too corny. who names a company after themselves? that''s too ostentatious."


    after thinking for a moment, jiang siming came up with a name.


    "let''s call our company yinghuan finance."


    li yingzi repeated, "yinghuan finance, winning over the universe. that''s a good name!"


    yinghuan finance co., ltd. was officially established.

 Chapter 160: Want a 98k? Yes!

    99999 live room.


    as soon as the broadcast started, the audience ''pressured'' her to sing "what''s wrong with that" again.


    "alright, alright, you little girl, even you are joining the audience in making a fuss and ''pressuring'' me to sing. how outrageous!"


    after jiang siming finished singing, he sat back in front of his computer and feigned anger at his group in yy.


    "hehe, xiao ming ge, i really want to hear you sing! come on, after you sing, we can start the game. today, i want to eat five chickens, roar!"


    tuan tuan was full of ambition.


    indeed, with jiang siming leading, even being a novice wouldn''t be a problem.


    "xiao ming ge, a new mode was updated today! you can find super airdrops in the game, and they contain all good stuff. you can even summon armored vehicles."


    jiang siming nodded while entering his steam account: "i saw it on the official website, but i haven''t played it yet. it looks quite interesting."


    "mmhm, as long as you find a signal gun, you can summon it. i found two signal guns today, but before i could use them, i got killed. later, my water friend helped me summon one, and i found an awm, hehe."


    tuan tuan reported today''s ''battle situation'' like she was writing a diary. she might be the only streamer who could survive in pubg thanks to her friends...


    "did that gun kill anyone?" jiang siming asked, cutting off tuan tuan.


    "no..."


    "then what use is it for you to pick it up?" jiang siming logged into the game and asked again, heartlessly.


    "i..." tuan tuan pouted, answering angrily, "i just want to be happy~ so what~"


    "hey, the m16 has been buffed, and there''s an extra grip. the 98k ammo pouch can even fit on shotguns, and handguns can use submachine gun magazines now. there are quite a few changes..."


    jiang siming checked the update information for this version on his own.


    tuan tuan''s ''retaliation'' landed in thin air, and after a long pause with no response, she huffed and puffed angrily.


    "hmph, xiao ming ge is so bad! i''m not going to talk to him this round! i won''t respond to anything he says!"


    tuan tuan secretly ''swore'' to her audience, ensuring jiang siming couldn''t hear.


    tuan tuan''s fans ran over to jiang siming to report.


    "xiao ming, your wife is angry."


    "your tuan tuan is mad, quickly coax her."


    "it''s over, xiao ming. tuan tuan said she won''t talk to you."


    "did you make your girlfriend angry? hurry and smooth things over."


    "thank you, xiao ming ge, muah~"


    tuan tuan happily picked everything up, grinning like a silly kid weighing two hundred pounds.


    the audience wore expressions of disbelief; it was truly a case of the emperor not being anxious but the eunuchs being anxious. these two not only didn''t quarrel but also fed them a wave of dog food.


    after getting the 98k from jiang siming, tuan tuan hummed a song and continued to search for things in other places.


    "xiao ming ge, when doudou starts her stream later, she said she''s bringing a beauty along."


    "oh, who is it?" jiang siming asked curiously.


    "doudou said not to let me say it first," tuan tuan replied.


    "if you don''t tell me, then give me back the 98k," jiang siming said with a smile.


    "it''s er ke!" tuan tuan decisively sold out doudou for the 98k.


    this was an eight-time scope 98k; a little concession to doudou shouldn''t make her mad, right? hmm, surely not~


    "are you excited? miss er ke is coming! xiao ming ge, do you mind?" tuan tuan asked.


    there was indeed a possibility. the last green tea girl begged countless times and still didn''t get a ride, ultimately ending in disgrace.


    this proves that jiang siming isn''t someone who pampers every pretty girl; he has strong principles.


    given this, tuan tuan had to ask jiang siming for his opinion first. if he didn''t want to take her, then er ke really wouldn''t be able to get a ride with them~


    er ke is a veteran in the streaming world and quite authoritative; her streaming status is comparable to teacher ma, with millions of fans.


    she has a much deeper background than the newer female streamers like doudou and tuan tuan, who have only risen in popularity over the past two years.


    yet, even such a former streaming queen still has to consider jiang siming''s feelings to see if she can get a ride; it all depends on what jiang siming thinks.


    fortunately, jiang siming had no aversion to er ke. her character and personality have been tested through years of streaming, and it''s evident to all.


    unlike a certain singer streamer of the same level, who is now solely focused on breaking into the entertainment industry, nearly forgetting her own fans.


    if it weren''t for the rough road in the entertainment industry, she probably would have given up streaming long ago.


    with a pile of scandals, she even stirred up a financial incident last year and had to rely on her agency to whitewash her image.


    comparing the two reveals a significant gap.


    "alright, why should i mind?"


    "that''s good, hehe." tuan tuan relaxed, afraid jiang siming wouldn''t like er ke.


    it seems that xiao ming ge only likes girls with a clean and upright demeanor; fortunately, she is a good baby herself~

 Chapter 161: PUBG Streamer Going Crazy Live!

    the two hadn''t been looting for long when suddenly the sound of several car horns blaring outside the city reached them.


    jiang siming and tuan tuan immediately went out to take a look, expecting enemies, but surprisingly, it was all bare-chested fans.


    "god ming, i love you!"


    "god ming, i want to learn your skills!"


    "tuan tuan, where are you?"


    "god ming, i''m a fan of your songs!"


    ....


    there were a total of seven or eight people, and then a few more cars arrived, with about ten to twenty people gathered together.


    "oh no, i forgot to set a delay. these viewers must be watching my stream to snipe you, xiao ming ge," tuan tuan said, sticking out her tongue.


    she usually doesn''t set a delay because she relies on fans to give her free kills; otherwise, she wouldn''t be able to get any kills herself.


    jiang siming, on the other hand, always sets a delay. otherwise, he would encounter a lot of fans every game. he doesn''t like interacting with fans in the game, as it affects the gaming experience and makes it hard to eliminate them.


    "no worries, let''s just make this a fun game," jiang siming said, not minding.


    since it was a fun game, everyone lightened up, and over twenty fans circled around jiang siming and tuan tuan, cheering "god ming is awesome!" and "4am is awesome!"


    "wow!!!! so many fans~"


    tuan tuan''s mouth opened in a cute "o" shape, like pikachu seeing a monster. her "wow" made the audience''s bones feel a bit soft.


    after landing, these twenty-some fans didn''t do anything; they just ran around looking for people randomly.


    most of them were looking for jiang siming.


    jiang siming also felt it was fun to play like this occasionally. this game was turning into a hand-holding social game.


    suddenly, tuan tuan, who had been following jiang siming, stopped moving. just as jiang siming was about to ask her, an energetic english song began to play.


    and tuan tuan started singing along with it ¡ª can you believe it?


    "dishang shun chiu zhu ballet~ dishang shun chiu zhu pa lei~ dishang zun jiu zai ao wok~ dishang cun chuchu wai~ dishang shu chuchu ho~ aiwei badi gen wo yiqi~ ai wei ba de~~"


    this quirky singing reached everyone''s ears. the song sounded familiar, but with tuan tuan''s "construction-site" english, no one could figure out what song it actually was!


    "the pig has gone mad, confirmed!"


    "hello, rehabilitation center?"


    "a certain pubg streamer is going crazy live?"


    "god ming: ????"


    ...


    tuan tuan: "umm..."


    jiang siming: "i need to stay calm; i need to get used to this. it''s my fault. i should''ve told her to brake two hours earlier. i only have myself to blame."


    starting another round, they got a new car.


    this time, jiang siming decided to forgo eating grapes and, no matter what, didn''t let her drive. he took the wheel himself.


    "uh... xiao ming ge, i think i can still give it another go..."


    "shut up!"


    "okay."


    their conversation abruptly ended as tuan tuan, the female driver, didn''t dare say another word.


    they safely arrived at a small town, got out of the car, and started looting.


    "tina! oh my god, oh my god! xiao ming ge! i found a flare gun!"


    controlling her character dressed in a short skirt, tuan tuan excitedly ran to jiang siming, holding a small red flare gun.


    "such good luck! nice, nice," jiang siming praised her.


    tuan tuan generously detached the flare gun. for her, the flare gun was even more precious than a kar98k, and she would never give it to anyone else.


    but if it was for jiang siming, she handed it over without hesitation.


    "xiao ming ge, you give it a try," tuan tuan said.


    jiang siming didn''t refuse, as he hadn''t tried a flare gun before.


    "but you can''t shoot it now; we need to wait until the first blue zone finishes shrinking. if you fire it within the safe zone, you''ll get a super airdrop. if you fire it outside, you''ll get an armored vehicle. each game only has three airdrops and three vehicles."


    jiang siming nodded at this and checked the zone. there was still time, so he slung the flare gun onto his waist for the moment.


    the addition of the flare gun would definitely quicken the game''s pace. as soon as it was fired, players nearby would surely come to compete for it.


    this would undoubtedly add more bloodshed and make the game even more thrilling.


    after waiting for the first zone to close, jiang siming found they were right in the safe zone.


    without any hesitation, jiang siming aimed at the sky and fired a shot. the only flare shot launched into the sky, producing a loud noise.


    in the sky, a bright red flame appeared, lingering for a long time, visible for several kilometers around.


    on the map, jiang siming''s location now had a flashing super airdrop icon.


    clearly, the game developers wouldn''t let you take it quietly. as soon as it''s fired, everyone knows about it, with pinpoint accuracy. it''s hard not to find.


    plus, it takes a full minute and thirty seconds for the super airdrop to land. during this time, anyone with a vehicle, even from two kilometers away, could make it there.

 Chapter 162: Heart-Safeguarding Pill

    "Xiao Ming ge, let''s hide quickly, or else a lot of people will come to steal from us!"


    Tuan Tuan, well aware of her own abilities, had already found a very sneaky spot to hunker down.


    She didn''t dare openly show herself near the airdrop; she''d died this way too many times...


    But Jiang Siming didn''t care, just standing right under the airdrop, waiting.


    Sure enough, less than half a minute after the signal went out, a couple of players, like cats catching a whiff, started coming over.


    A duo drove up in a jeep and stopped at a high ridge nearby, planning to snipe Jiang Siming''s team, who had set the airdrop, before going down to grab it.


    But just as they parked, Jiang Siming''s SKS fired several shots in rapid succession, and in less than half a second, the driver was knocked out of the car, falling to the ground covered in dust.


    The other player immediately jumped out and hid behind the jeep, trying to throw a smoke grenade to revive his teammate, but the jeep''s high chassis exposed his lower body.


    Jiang Siming quickly fired four more shots through the bottom of the jeep, each bullet hitting his legs.


    If this were real life, his legs would''ve been blown into two pieces by Jiang Siming''s bullets.


    The first squad that came over was swiftly wiped out by Jiang Siming before they even had a chance to fire a single shot.


    "Isn''t it good to stay alive? Why come here to die?"


    "Isn''t it good to live? Why take your life so lightly?"


    "If you want the airdrop, then trade your life for it!"


    "Haha, God Ming''s violent aesthetic is still so thrilling!"


    "Whoever comes will die; the airdrop is protected by me, God Ming!"


    ...


    The audience got hyped up, even coming up with their own narrative for Jiang Siming''s inner thoughts. It was quite something.


    After taking out the two players, as expected, no fragments dropped.


    Jiang Siming was already used to it these days, keeping calm and collected.


    He didn''t even bother going over to loot, continuing to wait right there for the airdrop to land.


    A minute and thirty seconds passed quickly, and a massive airdrop box, with a distinctive yellow smoke trail, landed right in front of Jiang Siming.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    As soon as it hit the ground, Jiang Siming saw a blue fragment shining inside this super airdrop!


    Jiang Siming was delighted; he hadn''t expected a blue fragment to appear on his first super airdrop summon!


    Just as he was about to go over to grab it, a ''ping'' sounded as a 98k bullet hit him from behind.


    Although it didn''t hit his head, it struck his level 2 armor and took out a third of his health.


    With no further interruptions, Jiang Siming calmly walked up to the super airdrop.


    "Picked up [Heart Preserving Pill x3] Blue Fragment *1 (1/1), Fragment count complete, can be used directly."


    [Heart Preserving Pill]: Has powerful auxiliary effects for heart function, equivalent to the effect of the best sedatives by a hundredfold.


    When used on a dying person, it can extend their life for more than half a day, and it can instantly cure those with heart disease.


    What a treasure!


    Jiang Siming praised it, mainly because there were three pills this time, which was much better than the single pill each for stomach cancer and leukemia he got before.


    Jiang Siming thought of Zhao Xiaoxiao''s piano teacher from a few days ago. Didn''t she have a heart condition? Maybe he could sell it to her?


    Pfft, pfft, pfft!


    Jiang Siming scolded himself for being too money-minded.


    How could he think about money first when it came to such a beautiful girl? This was an insult to his cultivation practice, how vulgar, Jiang the Gunner!


    After putting the pills away, Jiang Siming looked over the airdrop gear, which was indeed luxurious: two level-3 sets, a Groza, an Mk14, and two medkits.


    Fully geared, Jiang Siming and Tuan Tuan each wore a level-3 set. Tuan Tuan couldn''t use the Groza or the Mk14, so Jiang Siming carried them both.


    Finally, they each donned a desert ghillie suit, looking splendid.


    "Xiao Ming ge, could you do me a favor?"


    "How?"


    "Let''s squat here on this hilltop together and look at the sunrise over there, and then we''ll both tilt our heads." Tuan Tuan asked shyly.


    "Sure, let''s do it," Jiang Siming agreed generously.


    The two of them, dressed in ghillie suits, faced the desert sunset. As the sun cast its glow, they both tilted their heads in unison.


    Tuan Tuan even played Jiang Siming''s song "Lu Zhou Moon" as background music. Though it was a sun, not a moon, it created a romantic atmosphere.


    Click, click, click!


    Don''t get the wrong idea¡ªthis wasn''t gunfire; it was the sound of Tuan Tuan frantically pressing the screenshot key.


    Not only her, but many viewers were also saving this scene; it was full of feels.


    "Xiao Ming ge~" Tuan Tuan suddenly called out to Jiang Siming.


    "Hmm?"


    "I missed you."


    "Me too."

 Chapter 163: Snatching Up Huayi Shares!

    Ohhh~~~


    The countless viewers in the livestream let out wolf howls. Is this kind of public display of affection really necessary?


    And what about Dai Xiaomei?


    Just as the two were having a lovey-dovey moment, Dai Xiaomei suddenly appeared in the YY channel.


    She had obviously seen what happened just now, but to the viewers'' surprise, she wasn''t upset at all.


    "Brother Ming, I miss you too! Do you miss me?"


    "Of course I do."


    "Muah~"


    The millions of viewers watching the livestream were a bit stunned. What the heck is going on here?


    According to the usual plot, shouldn''t two women be arguing out of jealousy, getting into a big fight, and then breaking up?


    Why does the storyline seem so off?


    "666666 to the max 999999!"


    "Ming God is skillfully balancing two relationships."


    "Everyone take notes. This is how to be a man!"


    "Such a harmonious harem ¨C even emperors couldn''t achieve this!"


    "Excuse me, is this a pickup masterclass livestream?"


    ...


    The three of them completely ignored the barrage of comments.


    "Brother Ming, I brought the beauty Erke over! Ta-da! Making her grand entrance!" Dai Xiaomei added sound effects for herself.


    "Ming God, I''m your biggest fan!!! I absolutely love you!!!!"


    The usually composed Zhou Erke seemed to change as soon as she entered Jiang Siming''s livestream. The vibe was completely different.


    She was more like a die-hard fan confessing her love than a popular host.


    Whoa!


    The viewers were speechless. Weren''t two enough? Now there''s a third?


    Zhou Erke''s fans all covered their faces at the same time on the other side of the screen, feeling like they were fans of a fake host. This was so embarrassing.


    "Sister Ke, your voice scared me," Tuan Tuan said, laughing.


    Moreover, Huayi Brothers would undoubtedly be grateful to Jiang Siming; bringing in such a popular Korean star would be a boon for them with no downsides.


    As long as Jiang Siming gives them a heads-up, no one would dare to trouble Ling Yoon-ah, and the company would gladly allocate resources to support her.


    Supporting his wife is Jiang Siming''s favorite thing to do¡ªhe''s determined to be the ultimate wife supporter!


    As he opened another game, they now had four people in total.


    Jiang Siming was playing with three female streamers from Shark Platform, all known for their beauty.


    Unlike the last time he played with three unknown Korean streamers, the viewers now knew exactly who these three women were, and it made them envious.


    "Brother Ming, the Shark Carnival is coming up soon. Will you go to Wuhan?"


    In the game lobby, Dai Xiaomei''s character¡ªa Black woman¡ªkept throwing apples in front of Jiang Siming.


    "Shark Carnival? I think I''ve heard of that," Jiang Siming recalled. Shark held it every year in Wuhan, and it was quite popular.


    Last year, tens of thousands of fans flooded the carnival in Wuhan, even blocking off the entire Hankou Riverfront.


    "Yes! I heard this year they''re inviting a lot of celebrities. Brother Ming, come along! I''m from Hunan, and Wuhan isn''t far for me," Tuan Tuan said with excitement.


    She lives in Hunan, quite far from Jiang Siming, unlike Dai Xiaomei, who lives in the same city as him.


    Tuan Tuan was already thinking about changing jobs. If she moved to Shanghai, she''d get to see Jiang Siming frequently, which made her happy just thinking about it.


    "Ming God, if you go to the carnival, you''ll definitely be the star of the show. Get ready to be overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the Wuhan girls," Zhou Erke teased with a laugh.


    "If it''s to meet my fans, I''d definitely go. My livestream success has been built bit by bit by all of you. No need for lengthy thanks¡ªif any of you make it to the Wuhan Carnival, I''ll buy you a drink."


    Jiang Siming''s words were heartfelt, and the viewers were instantly moved.


    "Ming God, don''t say that. I only started watching streams because of you."


    "Exactly, your streams bring us joy; we should be thanking you."


    "I love this straightforwardness from Ming God! No words needed, let''s settle it with drinks!"


    "Does that mean if I go to Wuhan, I''ll get to meet my ''husband''?"


    "The Ming God Wives Club checking in! Register with me if you''re going to Wuhan!"


    "I''m in!"


    "I''m coming too!"


    "As long as I don''t have work, I''ll be there!"


    "+1"

 Chapter 164: Do You Know the Difference Between You and Sha Monk?

    Zhou Erke''s mood brightened¡ªshe''d never seen Ming God in real life.


    What differences would there be between the real-life Ming God and the one on camera? Would it be a big change?


    Like those female streamers who use beauty filters on their cameras, looking like completely different people...


    A flare gun sound interrupted Zhou Erke''s wandering thoughts.


    Not far from where the four of them were searching, a team had called in a super airdrop.


    Jiang Siming immediately stopped looting, jumped into a car, picked up the three women, and headed straight for the super airdrop.


    "We''re going to snatch someone''s airdrop? I''ve never dared to do anything so reckless before."


    Zhou Erke said a little nervously.


    She occasionally played battle royale, but she was more of a peaceful player¡ªonly looting without fighting, running away at the sight of others to rank up.


    In her streams, she''d often make self-deprecating bets like "Will I kill at least one person? Yes or No?"


    Usually, the bets against her would outnumber the bets for her by dozens of times, which was a bit disheartening.


    "No worries, Sister Ke, just stay on the sidelines and observe. Brother Ming alone is enough."


    "Yeah, we''re just here as the support team. Soon you''ll see yourself getting a chicken dinner without much effort."


    Dai Xiaomei and Tuan Tuan, who were already familiar with "lying low for the win" tactics, spoke with confidence.


    The team that had called in the airdrop were some lucky but less skilled players, and Jiang Siming aggressively charged at them, jumped out, and started shooting.


    The already inexperienced team was wiped out by Jiang Siming in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Erke hadn''t even gotten out of the car before they were eliminated...


    When the super airdrop landed, Jiang Siming was pleasantly surprised to find that it contained a glowing fragment!


    This time, it was a red fragment.


    "Picked up [Advanced Basketball Skills] Red Fragment *1 (1/5). Fragment set not yet complete, unable to use."


    Jiang Siming had previously obtained basketball skills, but they were only basic. This time, he got an advanced skill.


    Jiang Siming realized that the skills found in red fragments only have basic and advanced levels.


    Just as Jiang Siming was about to shut down his computer, he noticed a friend request on his Douyu account, with a somewhat familiar ID, apparently a fellow streamer on the platform named [Cool Guy God Qian Xiaojia].


    Since the person was a fellow streamer, Jiang Siming accepted the friend request without much thought.


    As soon as he accepted, a message came through.


    ...


    "Ming God, I''ve heard great things about you. I''m Qian Xiaojia, also a Douyu streamer. Surely, you know me?"


    The boastful tone right from the start made Jiang Siming a bit annoyed.


    "Why should I know you?" Jiang Siming replied bluntly, not bothering to be polite.


    When he didn''t like someone, he usually confronted them directly. He didn''t believe in holding back and putting on a show; venting his irritation was just his style.


    The other person obviously hadn''t expected such a dismissive response, but they brushed it off with a chuckle.


    "Ming God, you misunderstand. I''m not here to bother you; I actually want to collaborate with you."


    Jiang Siming didn''t even feel like replying. He tossed a grape that Wang Xinyi had washed for him into his mouth, casually browsing some websites and checking out today''s news.


    As expected, a message from the other party popped up again shortly after.


    "It''s like this, Ming God. You''re very popular right now, but to maintain a steady fanbase, streamers need the support of a management company. Without it, your popularity will fade once your audience tires of your content."


    "So, we at Huafu Management would like to sign you and provide you with maximum resource support. Of course, you''d need to follow the company''s arrangements, using your popularity to boost the other streamers under us."


    Reading this, Jiang Siming showed a trademark mocking smile and replied:


    "Have you ever seen me relying on a management company? Do you think all streamers need an agency to fake their fame and popularity like you?"


    "That''s uncalled for," the other replied. "I respect you as a top streamer on Douyu, but don''t take me for a pushover. I know you''ve clashed with Tengfei Company before, but Huafu is on a different level. We''re Douyu''s largest management company, with unmatched resources that Tengfei could only dream of."


    "Do you know the difference between you and Monk Sha?"


    Jiang Siming didn''t want to waste more time with this fool. He sent that one line and immediately blocked him, going offline.


    On the other end, Qian Xiaojia was puzzled. "What does that even mean?" After he searched it on Baidu, he was so angry he could hardly contain himself.

 Chapter 165: Showdown with Officer Li

    The next day, Jiang Siming woke up in an oversized bed, only to find the beauty who had been beside him was gone.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    Hearing the sound of a car starting downstairs, he got up and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window. He saw Wang Xinyi driving off to school in the limited edition pink Lexus he had given her.


    This car was one Jiang Siming had won during a competition in London, and Wang Xinyi loved it.


    Feeling a little reluctant to let his girlfriend go off to school just like that, Jiang Siming regretted not waking up earlier. If he had woken up sooner, maybe he could''ve held her close one more time.


    After brushing his teeth and washing his face in the bathroom, he yawned and headed downstairs.


    A fresh breakfast was warming in the kitchen. Jiang Siming took a bite, thinking about what to do during the day.


    His live stream was in the evening, so he had complete freedom during the day.


    Streaming all day would drive Jiang Siming crazy¡ªit was too monotonous. Though games were fun, he couldn''t play them nonstop.


    He was considering whether to check out Yinghuan Finance or go on a date with Dai Xiaomei.


    Just as he was contemplating, the doorbell rang.


    Curious, Jiang Siming went to the gate and opened it, only to find Li Shengxue standing at the door in a police uniform.


    "Officer Li, what brings you here?" Jiang Siming asked with interest.


    Li Shengxue blushed slightly and said, "I just got assigned to this area today. I remembered that you live around here, so I wanted to stop by and see if this was the right place. I apologize if I''m disturbing you."


    "No worries, you''re gracing my humble abode with your presence. Come on in." Jiang Siming made a welcoming gesture.


    Li Shengxue quickly shook her head, saying, "No need, I just came to say hi."


    "Come on in; if you keep standing at the door, people will think the police are raiding my house," Jiang Siming said as he took her wrist and pulled her inside.


    If anyone else had dared to grab her hand, she would''ve thrown them to the ground with a shoulder throw and an elbow strike.


    But it was Jiang Siming, and oddly, she didn''t feel resistant.


    "Will I be disturbing anyone in your family?"


    "Relax, I''m the only one home."


    Hearing this, Li Shengxue felt a bit more at ease.


    Jiang Siming invited her to sit in the living room and poured her a glass of juice.


    "Wouldn''t it be a little inappropriate if I took it off? I''m only wearing underwear underneath," Jiang Siming replied with a playful grin.


    Li Shengxue, blushing and slightly annoyed, said, "I meant for you to change into something else."


    "Oh, no need for that. I''ll change afterward¡ªit won''t take long anyway," Jiang Siming replied nonchalantly.


    Hearing this, Li Shengxue seemed a bit unhappy and said, "Jiang, it sounds like you''re underestimating me. Well, I''ll show you my skills! Here I come!"


    Right after she finished speaking, Li Shengxue swiftly approached Jiang Siming, her hand shaped like a blade as she aimed a chop towards his shoulder.


    Her movements were incredibly quick; an ordinary person would likely have been knocked out by now.


    However, Jiang Siming casually stepped back as if he were taking a leisurely stroll and easily caught Li Shengxue''s wrist mid-air.


    "Your speed is good, but your strength could use some work," he remarked.


    "That''s because I wasn''t using my full strength. Jiang, you''d better watch out¡ªI''m serious now!" With that, Li Shengxue spun gracefully like a cat and turned back, aiming a sidekick at his chest, a gust of air following the movement!


    Li Shengxue was confident that he wouldn''t be able to counter this move; her sidekick was quite renowned back in the police academy.


    Even if Jiang managed to block it, he would surely be left off balance, giving her an advantage.


    Thud!


    With a muffled sound, Li Shengxue''s delicate ankle met Jiang Siming''s palm in close contact, as both had removed their shoes before starting the spar. Enjoy new stories from empire


    Jiang Siming caught her kick barehanded and seemed reluctant to let go of Li Shengxue''s ankle.


    She struggled a bit but couldn''t break free, so she decided to take advantage of the situation, using her other leg as leverage to spring upward, targeting Jiang Siming''s chest with a powerful punch.


    Li Shengxue''s punches weren''t just for show; they packed more force than an average adult male''s.


    Her grandfather was a martial artist who taught her some secret breathing techniques, giving her this impressive strength over the years.


    Her rapid punches caught Jiang Siming by surprise, yet he still didn''t want to let go of her small foot.


    Opting to take her punch head-on, Jiang Siming quickly pinned her fist against his chest with his right hand.


    With a grip as strong as steel, he gently pulled her forward. Li Shengxue lost her balance with her hands and feet restrained, and she immediately fell into Jiang Siming''s arms.


    Seizing the moment, Jiang Siming decided to play along, pretending to lose his own balance and falling onto the carpet with her.

 Chapter 166: Picking Up Sesame, Losing the Watermelon

    The atmosphere suddenly turned quiet.


    The two of them lay on the ground, with Li Shengxue on top of Jiang Siming.


    Their position was quite ambiguous, with their faces only about five centimeters apart.


    "Ah!"


    Realizing the situation, Li Shengxue screamed and immediately got up from Jiang Siming. In the process, she accidentally tugged open his robe.


    Seeing Jiang Siming''s perfect physique and muscles underneath, Li Shengxue felt even more embarrassed, her face turning red as she quickly stepped back several meters to distance herself from him.


    "Are you alright, Mr. Jiang?"


    Li Shengxue remembered that she had landed a punch on him earlier and asked with concern. She knew very well how powerful her punches were.


    Jiang Siming, who was about to get up, clutched his chest and responded weakly, "I''m fine, I can manage."


    Saying this, Jiang Siming secretly pinched his own chest a few times, causing a purple bruise to appear.


    Li Shengxue hurried over to check and felt immensely guilty.


    "I''m sorry, Mr. Jiang. I was too heavy-handed."


    Despite being a sharp detective, she was fooled by Jiang Siming''s acting skills, as he had the abilities of an award-winning actor.


    Jiang Siming realized the usefulness of his **Actor Skill**, thinking it would be perfect for charming women; they''d be totally deceived by him!


    "No worries. It was just a sparring match. It''s normal to accidentally hit each other, *cough cough*."


    Acting seriously, Jiang Siming thought he''d perfected his performance.


    Li Shengxue felt even more guilty and came over to help Jiang Siming up.


    Jiang Siming slowly stood up, then pretended to slip, and they both fell back onto the floor.


    This time, their positions changed, with Jiang Siming on top.


    Feigning innocence, Jiang Siming pretended not to notice as he struggled to get up, appearing apologetic.


    But ''due to'' the injury on his chest, he couldn''t get up no matter how hard he tried.


    At this moment, Li Shengxue, pressed under Jiang Siming, was out of breath, feeling both embarrassed and anxious. But seeing how hard he was trying to get up, she felt even guiltier about her earlier ''misstep.''


    "It''s okay, Mr. Jiang. Take your time... I''m not in a hurry..." Li Shengxue turned her head away as she spoke, her blush spreading from her cheeks down to her neck.


    "No need, I can manage." Jiang Siming ''staggered'' as he finally managed to stand up.


    However, gaining over 20 points of affection was unprecedented; Li Shengxue had never had feelings for any man before. The ice-cold police flower wasn''t just a nickname.


    That she had this much affection for Jiang Siming, the "defeated opponent," was something she probably didn''t even believe herself.


    Thinking about this, Jiang Siming couldn''t help but feel that he had outsmarted himself, losing the bigger prize while picking up a sesame seed.


    If he had won against her, he might have gained even more affection, perhaps 40 or 50 points. Adding that to the base value could easily have pushed him past the 70 or 80-point mark.


    At that point, he could have done whatever he wanted without sneaking around like this!


    The more he thought about it, the more he felt he was at a loss. Jiang Siming pinched his thigh in punishment!


    He wanted to continue sparring with Li Shengxue, but she refused to agree, knowing he was injured.


    "Let''s do it next time, Mr. Jiang. I can see that you were holding back earlier. When you''ve healed, we''ll have another match. Since you''re fine now, Shengxue won''t bother you any longer; I still have patrols to do. I''ll be going now."


    Once Li Shengxue left, Jiang Siming lay on the sofa, frustrated and pounded on the cushions a few times, grumbling about how angry he was.


    To make up for his losses, he immediately called for his new car, a Brabus G800, which he had gotten while in London.


    It was a powerful, dominating vehicle, even more imposing than a Mercedes G-Class. After hitting the road, Jiang Siming arrived at Little Sister''s apartment in just twenty minutes.


    *Knock, knock!*


    He knocked on the door, and soon a woman who was not Little Sister opened it.


    This woman was Little Sister''s best friend, and she naturally knew about Jiang Siming''s relationship with Little Sister, which is why she let him in.


    "Where''s Daidai?"


    "She''s still asleep in her room. I have to go to work. If you need to talk to her, you can do it yourself."


    After saying this, Little Sister''s friend left the apartment with no worries, leaving Jiang Siming alone.


    He felt like luck was on his side!


    Jiang Siming chuckled; his earlier frustration about missing Li Shengxue faded away.


    He entered Little Sister''s room, which was unlocked, and pushed the door open.


    Little Sister was cuddling a cartoon bear and sleeping soundly, completely unaware of the figure that had pounced on her.


    Startled awake from her dream, she almost cried out in shock.


    The subsequent events, of course, became **intense**, with the ''angry'' Jiang Siming being quite frightening.


    By the end of the morning, Little Sister hadn''t done anything but scream...

 Chapter 167: Enhanced Yinghuan Finance

    After a few days, the renovation of the Yinghuan Financial Company''s office building was finally completed.


    Li Yingzi moved the office location there, marking the end of their ''workshop-style'' environment.


    However, both Li Yingzi and the other employees were quite satisfied with the ''workshop.''


    Aside from the smaller space, all other conditions were even better than those of regular large companies.


    Triple salaries, taxi reimbursements, and excellent meals made everyone very content.


    The new company address was on the eighteenth floor of a commercial building located outside the fourth ring of Lujiazui.


    This office building had been completely renovated; compared to Jiang Siming''s low-key luxury hotel, the decor of Yinghuan Financial was impressively extravagant.


    It was a grand sight, with gold-plated decorations and a feeling of wealth emanating from every corner.


    The company entrance was conveniently located right across from the elevators, providing a very spacious area. As soon as one stepped out of the elevator, they would see the golden words carved into the wall: Yinghuan Financial.


    Four beautiful receptionists were stationed at the front desk, and two security personnel were stationed at the elevator entrance, creating a very formal atmosphere.


    The company''s decoration style was open and prominent, emphasizing the idea of attracting wealth, reflecting their principle that wealth comes first.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    Walking in felt like entering a palace of gold, instantly creating an inexplicable sense of trust in the company regarding wealth.


    Finance is different from hotels, and Jiang Siming specifically instructed the construction team to renovate it this way.


    Now, it looked quite impressive; at least Li Yingzi and the five veteran traders were very satisfied.


    In the past few days, the company had expanded several times, with Li Yingzi recruiting more than ten professional traders.


    They also established five departments: Operations, Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, and Administration.


    A properly structured company had been established, with the number of employees reaching over fifty.


    The office was also very spacious; financial companies do not require too many staff members, so Jiang Siming had the renovation team make it more grandiose.


    Even the desks of junior staff were as large as those of ordinary managers, and department heads had even larger spaces.


    Let alone the managerial positions; especially Jiang Siming''s chairman''s office and Li Yingzi''s president''s office were designed according to the standards of the world''s top office buildings. Continue your journey on empire


    In the large office, Li Yingzi, dressed in her president''s attire, sat at the head of the conference table, her face serious.


    The employees below sat up straight, not daring to slack off.


    In the past few days, everyone had come to understand Li Yingzi''s style: decisive and a workaholic.


    As soon as her presence filled the room, no one among the employees dared to voice any objections.


    Behind her back, they had even given her the nickname ''General Li.'' This title wasn''t meant to mock or harbor resentment; rather, it was born from admiration and fear.


    "General Li, Liang''an Company has already noticed that we are hoarding their stocks, and they are continuously raising prices. Should we proceed?"


    The speaker was one of the original five traders, Xu Jingrong.


    He was also the most outstanding performer in the company, entrusted with significant responsibilities just like Yuan Wenbin and Li Zixi.


    "Why should we hesitate? Their price hikes are merely attempts to intimidate us into stopping, but we have already become the largest shareholders of Liang''an. What do we have to fear? Unless they raise the stock price to over eleven dollars, we will take as much as they offer," Li Yingzi stated boldly.


    Sitting on the other side, Yuan Wenbin expressed some concerns, saying, "General Li, currently, the startup capital given to us by the chairman is already less than two million. If they keep raising prices, we might face funding issues..."


    "Don''t worry about funding. The chairman has just given me another ten million as a backup. We can act freely without concern," Li Yingzi replied.


    Upon hearing this, everyone''s faces lit up with excitement.


    The chairman was indeed generous; in less than a week, they had already spent fifty million on the company''s renovation and startup funds. They felt this boss was extremely wealthy!


    Working for such a boss made them feel optimistic about the future!


    "Besides business matters, do you have anything else to report? If not, we can adjourn the meeting," Li Yingzi said as she closed her notebook and took a sip of the coffee on the table.


    She thought to herself that Xiao Mingzi had truly become like a wealthy patron; even the coffee was specially delivered from Starbucks, and it was supplied endlessly.


    For someone like her, who loved coffee, this was incredibly comforting.


    "Yes, General Li," an administrative manager spoke up.


    "General Li, everyone has been generally dissatisfied with the cafeteria food downstairs. Although we have already arranged meals from elsewhere, it''s not a long-term solution. Shouldn''t we consider signing a contract with a restaurant for long-term supply?"


    Li Yingzi shook her head, revealing a slight smile. "For now, let''s continue sourcing from other places. The chairman has allocated additional funds specifically to acquire the cafeteria downstairs. We have already negotiated with them, and soon there will be a complete overhaul of the cafeteria. We''ve invited over a dozen chefs from various cuisines, so you can all look forward to enjoying gourmet meals every day!"

 Chapter 168: Stopped by My Own Security

    "Oh!"


    Upon hearing this, everyone cheered with joy; the chairman was indeed imposing and powerful!


    Directly acquiring the cafeteria of the building and hiring a large number of chefs¡ªjust in terms of food, they were almost catching up with the top companies in the country!


    I heard that the food at Wanda Group is quite good. I wonder how the food standard at our company will be; just thinking about it makes me look forward to it.


    "General Li, does the chairman''s office need to hire an assistant secretary?" a manager from the HR department inquired.


    Li Yingzi initially wanted to say no, as Jiang Siming didn''t manage affairs at all, and having an assistant for him would be utterly useless.


    However, after thinking about it, since she had an assistant, it wouldn''t look good if the chairman didn''t have one.


    To consider Jiang Siming''s image as a hands-off manager, Li Yingzi nodded in agreement.


    "Note that the assistant chosen for the chairman must be strict; they not only need to have strong work capabilities but, most importantly, they must be female and good-looking."


    If Jiang Siming were present, he would have given Li Yingzi a big hug; that was so considerate!


    Although this request was somewhat unconventional, the HR manager still complied.


    "Alright, everyone can disperse."


    After the meeting ended, as Li Yingzi walked out of the conference room, she saw Jiang Siming coming out of the elevator.


    The receptionists and security were new and didn''t recognize Jiang Siming at all.


    Seeing Jiang Siming casually walking in dressed in casual clothes, they immediately stopped him.


    "Excuse me, sir, this is a private company, Yinghuan Financial. Non-employees need to make an appointment to enter."


    "Xiao Luo, Xiao Qian, this is the chairman," Li Yingzi hurried over to mediate.


    Upon hearing that Jiang Siming was the chairman, the two security guards'' brains froze; they had actually stopped their own company''s chairman from entering!


    "Chairman, we are very sorry! Our eyesight is poor, and we didn''t recognize your identity," one of the security guards quickly apologized.


    This company paid nearly double what they had received at other companies; with such good treatment, they certainly didn''t want to be fired on their first day at work.


    After looking around, Jiang Siming nodded in satisfaction; making money was meant for enjoyment. He initially wanted to make Li Yingzi''s office just as nice, but she refused.


    In her words, it was fine for him, the chairman, to enjoy such luxury while doing nothing, but as the sole manager of important affairs in the company, she didn''t want to be "corrupted" by Jiang Siming''s "sugar-coated cannonballs."


    Jiang Siming was quite touched by this, but he still shamelessly insisted that she decorate her office like this and even asked for a VR gaming machine...


    "I just had HR find you a secretary; she should be starting in a few days."


    "What do I need a secretary for? I''m not doing anything," Jiang Siming said, not very interested.


    "How can a chairman not have a secretary? Don''t worry; even if you have nothing to do, you can still treat her as a life secretary. This level of representation cannot be lacking," Li Yingzi replied.


    "Well, you need to find me a pretty one, preferably with a good figure," Jiang Siming instructed.


    Li Yingzi responded with an expression that said she already knew this: "I''ve already arranged that. Don''t worry; I''ll make sure to find you a beautiful and capable one."


    Jiang Siming felt that the "capable" part was a bit misinterpreted; he was pure...


    After chatting with Jiang Siming for a bit, Li Yingzi went back to work.


    Jiang Siming played in his office for a while before going to check out other parts of the company.


    The employees in the company all knew the chairman had arrived. When they saw Jiang Siming coming, they hurriedly greeted him.


    Jiang Siming didn''t act like a boss at all; he responded warmly to everyone.


    When he encountered one or two attractive female employees, he would mischievously wink at them, causing their cheeks to flush and them to shyly run away.


    After a round of "inspection," everyone in the company recognized Jiang Siming and was astonished by how young he was.


    They had originally thought the chairman would be at least middle-aged or an old man, but unexpectedly, he was younger than most of them.


    This was particularly good news for the female employees, as they had not anticipated that their chairman would be young, wealthy, and, most importantly, even more handsome than idol-like stars!


    If they could see Jiang Siming every day, their motivation to work would definitely skyrocket.


    From today onward, these female employees would surely not want to leave the company; where else could they find such a perfect boss?


    Moreover, the boss was very nice, with no airs about him, and he liked to "tease" them. Oh, I can''t think about it anymore; if I do, I''ll just start fangirling...

 Chapter 169: Met an Acquaintance for an Interview

    The HR department prioritized finding a secretary for the chairman.


    With a high salary offered, they managed to find a qualified secretary candidate in just one morning.


    Jiang Siming happened to be free, so he scheduled her to come for an interview in the afternoon.


    At three o''clock in the afternoon, Jiang Siming was in his office wearing a VR headset, playing a knife-fighting game.


    The bloody and violent scenes inside were much more realistic than computer games, which made Jiang Siming feel a bit exhilarated.


    Just as the plot was reaching a climactic moment, Jiang Siming was about to defeat the boss and rescue the naked princess. After saving her, he could also do some embarrassing things to her.


    Don''t be surprised; this is a Japanese VR game that is restricted for sale in the domestic market to those over 18.


    However, one of the employees from the marketing department managed to get a copy and gifted it to Jiang Siming to play.


    After putting in some effort, he finally defeated the final boss.


    "Big brother, thank you for saving me! I belong to you now, so you can do anything you want with me~" the princess shyly said to Jiang Siming.


    This kind of VR game made it seem like the princess was right in front of Jiang Siming, very realistic; he could even see the fine pores on her skin.


    "Well then, I won''t hold back," Jiang Siming grinned wickedly, just as he was about to do something to the princess.


    But then there was a knock at the door.


    "Come back later!" Jiang Siming wanted to finish the game first; he had to "handle" the princess before anything else.


    However, he remembered that this office had excellent soundproofing, and unless he made a phone call, even using a loudspeaker wouldn''t allow people outside to hear anything.


    The person outside thought Jiang Siming didn''t hear and knocked again.


    Jiang Siming was speechless and had no choice but to go to his desk and press the phone intercom, saying, "What''s the matter?"


    "Chairman, the secretary applicant has arrived," came the voice of the HR manager from outside the door.


    "Alright, let her in," Jiang Siming didn''t want to embarrass the manager, so he could only temporarily put down the game.


    "Ms. Zhang, our chairman is inviting you in."


    "Thank you, manager."


    Once the conversation ended, the door to Jiang Siming''s office was pushed open, and a graceful figure walked in.


    From appearances, the woman was quite attractive, considered a great beauty in the eyes of ordinary people, but to Jiang Siming, she was just average.


    Thinking this, Zhang Yuhan felt like slapping herself, but at least she hadn''t treated Jiang Siming poorly back then.


    Although she did have some ulterior motives in using Jiang Siming as a shield, she believed he probably wouldn''t notice.


    It seemed she still had a chance...


    With that thought, Zhang Yuhan''s attitude became more serious.


    "Chairman Jiang, I really didn''t expect to meet you here. However, I''m just a small person here to apply for a job. Please don''t lower your standards because of our past acquaintance. Feel free to assess me, and if I don''t pass your evaluation, I will leave voluntarily. I hope we can still be friends afterward."


    Zhang Yuhan''s cleverness exceeded Jiang Siming''s expectations.


    No wonder she could manipulate Wang Jun so easily; he would comply with whatever she wanted unconditionally.


    But since she wanted to play tricks, Jiang Siming was willing to play along.


    "Alright, since you''ve said that, please take a seat."


    Jiang Siming stood up from his executive chair, walked to the sofa in the meeting area, and gestured for Zhang Yuhan to sit.


    They sat facing each other, and Zhang Yuhan deliberately adjusted her short skirt a little higher.


    From Jiang Siming''s perspective, he could easily see what was underneath: lace, red, ultra-thin.


    "Your education?"


    "Report, Chairman Jiang, I have a graduate degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, majoring in finance."


    Zhang Yuhan said this while taking out her already prepared diploma. Jiang Siming picked it up and saw that it was indeed true.


    He didn''t expect her to be an academic achiever, but it made sense; without a certain level of intelligence, how could she manipulate someone like Wang Jun, a seasoned player in society?


    "What about your work experience?"


    "I graduated two years ago and have been working at another financial company until now."


    "Why do you want to join my company?"


    "I encountered a bottleneck in that company, and I want a new job to challenge myself and become even more excellent and perfect."


    "What is your impression of our company?"


    "Very good! Both the company environment and atmosphere are exactly what I want. I''m very willing to contribute my youth and efforts here!"


    "You..."

 Chapter 170: Aston Martin and Toyota Camry

    Jiang Siming asked her a series of questions, and Zhang Yuhan answered fluently, providing answers that were perfect and flawless.


    Just based on her interview report, it could be used as a model for others to reference and learn from.


    At this point, even if Jiang Siming didn''t want her, he had no reason to speak up.


    After asking the last question, Jiang Siming leaned back in his chair, lost in thought, his fingers tapping evenly on the sofa, remaining silent.


    Zhang Yuhan was very perceptive and did not disturb Jiang Siming, simply sitting there quietly.


    Meanwhile, she secretly stole a few glances at Jiang Siming; compared to the past, his temperament and appearance had risen to a whole new level.


    Zhang Yuhan felt her heart race, and her face began to flush.


    Although he was wearing casual clothes, her keen eye immediately recognized that these casual outfits were from big-name brands.


    Each piece cost as much as all the clothes she was wearing combined.


    Added to that, sitting in such a luxurious office, eyes closed and silent, he exuded an aura of a domineering CEO.


    This was the prince charming that Zhang Yuhan had always dreamed of; she longed to find a rich and handsome heir, and she felt that no one could be more perfect than Jiang Siming right now!


    Finally, Jiang Siming opened his eyes and smiled at her.


    "Congratulations, you''ve passed."


    "Thank you, Chairman Jiang! I will definitely serve you well!" Zhang Yuhan said with a beaming smile, her words carrying a subtly teasing atmosphere.


    "When can you start working?"


    "Right now, if needed."


    Jiang Siming nodded: "Then you can go to the HR department to complete the onboarding process. Your office is outside mine; go find President Li, and she will tell you about your job responsibilities."


    "Okay." Zhang Yuhan stood up excitedly, her waist swaying as she walked out the door.


    Jiang Siming leaned back on the sofa, watching Zhang Yuhan''s figure thoughtfully.


    Zhang Yuhan successfully completed her onboarding procedures, and Li Yingzi also informed her of her job responsibilities, which made Zhang Yuhan even happier.


    Li Yingzi told her that her job responsibilities wouldn''t be in the company but were focused on serving the chairman as his personal secretary.


    This was exactly what Zhang Yuhan wanted; didn''t this give her the chance to pursue Jiang Siming!


    However, she didn''t stay long, as the company had already closed for the day; after all, she had come in the afternoon, and the company closed at six.


    But she quickly adjusted her mindset. So what if he had a girlfriend? She wouldn''t be afraid even if he got married.


    As long as she was willing to work hard, she didn''t believe Jiang Siming would lose interest in her.


    A homegrown flower is not as fragrant as a wildflower; this is a flaw in many men, and she believed Jiang Siming would have it too.


    Regaining her spirits, Zhang Yuhan once again felt hopeful about the future.


    Reluctantly leaving Jiang Siming''s villa, Zhang Yuhan stood by the street, the cool night breeze blowing through her thin clothes, making her feel a bit cold.


    "If I could live in that villa and drive such a luxury car, I definitely wouldn''t be cold anymore," she thought to herself.


    At that moment, a Toyota Camry pulled up in front of her, and a man in a suit stepped out¡ªit was Wang Jun, the one who had always made things difficult for Jiang Siming.


    "Hanhan, you must be tired from work; get in the car," Wang Jun said, opening the door for her with enthusiasm.


    Zhang Yuhan looked at the man in front of her, then at his car, feeling disdain in her eyes.


    "Could you please clean your car next time? It''s covered in dust; how can I sit in it?" she snapped out of nowhere.


    Wang Jun was taken aback but showed no sign of retorting. He immediately apologized and reassured her: "Darling, I''m sorry! I''ll wash the car tomorrow, inside and out. Just bear with it today."


    Zhang Yuhan knew she couldn''t be too unreasonable, so she could only put on a stern face as she got into the passenger seat.


    The feel of the Camry''s seat cushions was completely different from the sensation she had in the Aston Martin.


    Not to mention if it got wet; she just felt uncomfortable.


    While driving, Wang Jun tried to chat with Zhang Yuhan, but while he was enthusiastic, her responses were lackluster.


    "Darling, I heard you started a new job today. How did it go? Were you successful?"


    "Given my qualifications, does the other party have any reason to refuse me?" Zhang Yuhan replied proudly.


    "Right, right! It''s my fault for asking. How could my baby not succeed? By the way, what''s the pay like?" Wang Jun asked.


    "The probation period is two months, with a post-tax monthly salary of 20,000. After that, it will be 40,000, with bonuses calculated separately," Zhang Yuhan answered.


    "Wow! What kind of company offers such good conditions?" Wang Jun asked in surprise.


    "A new financial company. You wouldn''t understand even if I told you, so don''t ask," Zhang Yuhan said, somewhat guilty as she changed the subject.


    She didn''t want to tell Wang Jun who the owner of the company was; if he found out, he would surely go crazy with jealousy and demand she quit.

 Chapter 171: Enemies on a Narrow Path

    Zhang Yuhan knew just how deep the feud between Wang Jun and Jiang Siming ran.


    On the day Jiang Siming resigned, he reported Wang Jun in front of the district manager, and Wang Jun was severely punished, nearly losing his managerial position.


    Fortunately, Wang Jun had relatives in a higher position within the agency, which allowed him to keep his job.


    However, there was no doubt that Wang Jun harbored considerable hatred for Jiang Siming.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    Although she wanted to pursue Jiang Siming, she didn''t want to discard Wang Jun, her "long-term meal ticket," too soon; if her attempt to win over Jiang Siming failed, she would still have a backup plan.


    "Alright, I won''t ask any further. I''m so happy my baby found such a great job; we have to celebrate! Let''s go eat some crayfish!"


    Wang Jun was completely unaware that he had become a backup option and a long-term meal ticket and remained excited.


    Upon hearing about the crayfish, Zhang Yuhan looked down on the idea.


    Earlier, Jiang Siming had treated the company staff to Australian prawns, and each person got one!


    Compared to the street stall''s crayfish, Zhang Yuhan swore she never wanted to eat it again.


    "I''m not eating anymore; just take me home. I''m a bit tired." Zhang Yuhan didn''t want to stay in this rundown car any longer.


    Wang Jun immediately agreed and wasn''t upset at all.


    Zhang Yuhan leaned against the car window on the way home, looking at the street scenery under the streetlights, her heart was no longer in the car.


    The next day, Zhang Yuhan dressed even more beautifully and arrived at the office early.


    However, after waiting for a long time, she still didn''t see Jiang Siming.


    After asking Li Yingzi, she learned that Jiang Siming was a hands-off manager, and it was normal for him not to come to the office.


    As long as he didn''t come to the office or make any phone calls, Zhang Yuhan had to stay and work at the company as usual.


    She could only help when Jiang Siming needed her.


    Knowing this, Zhang Yuhan felt helpless and could only endure and work diligently.


    Fortunately, Jiang Siming reappeared at the office in the afternoon.


    Zhang Yuhan was so excited that she immediately walked over and sweetly asked, "Mr. Jiang, do you need me to arrange any work?"


    "Not for now," Jiang Siming replied and then went into his office, not coming out for the entire day or calling her.


    After work, Jiang Siming drove himself home, leaving Zhang Yuhan to sit on the sidelines all day.


    In a bad mood, she even argued with Wang Jun, refusing to ride in his car and instead taking a taxi home.


    After arguing with Zhang Yuhan yesterday, he had specifically taken a day off today to wait for her to get off work and to apologize sincerely.


    For this, he even bought a bag that Zhang Yuhan had always liked, worth over ten thousand. He believed that upon seeing the bag, she would reconcile with him.


    He swore that this time, in front of so many people, he would humiliate Jiang Siming and make him furious!


    Some people are like that; they believe others are weak and are used to bullying them. Once this person puts up any resistance, their desire for revenge only intensifies.


    Because in their eyes, those they see as ants should never resist and should be bullied by them.


    The few employees Wang Jun brought were from the same agency and had worked with Jiang Siming.


    So they recognized Jiang Siming as well.


    "Isn''t that Jiang Siming?"


    "No way, it really is! What a small world."


    "Oh no, Jiang Siming is definitely going to be scolded by the manager."


    "Of course! He almost got President Wang fired."


    "Looks like we''re in for a show; let''s wait for Jiang Siming to cry. Haha."


    ...


    These employees had spent too much time with Wang Jun and were all no good; they waited on the side to watch the fun.


    "Jiang Siming, why are you working in such a high-end tobacco and liquor store after losing your job? Don''t tell me you''re running errands for some boss again?"


    Wang Jun began to mock Jiang Siming from behind.


    Jiang Siming ignored him, but Wang Jun wasn''t discouraged at all.


    "A proud graduate of Fudan University, yet you''re doing this kind of work for someone else every day. I really wonder what your parents think when they see you like this. What kind of parents raise a child like you!"


    Wang Jun couldn''t see how expensive Jiang Siming''s casual outfit was; he thought it was the kind of clothing you could get for ten bucks at a street stall.


    In the past, Jiang Siming wore clothes in that price range and had been laughed at a lot.


    Hearing Wang Jun mention his parents, Jiang Siming turned back coldly, glaring at him with a piercing chill.


    "What... what? You want to take action? There are so many witnesses here; if you touch me, get ready to go to the police station!"


    For some reason, Wang Jun felt a bit intimidated by Jiang Siming''s stare; he had never seen that kind of look before.


    It felt as if Jiang Siming wanted to snap his neck at any moment.

 Chapter 172: We’ve Already Broken Up!

    "That''s right, Jiang Siming, if you want to make a move, have you asked us?"


    "With so many of us here, do you think you can take us on?"


    "If you dare to lay a hand on President Wang, I''ll be the first to take you down!"


    ...


    These former colleagues had completely turned against Jiang Siming and stood on the opposing side.


    Not only did they no longer treat Jiang Siming as a former colleague, but they also acted as if he were an enemy, even though Jiang Siming had not provoked them in the slightest.


    Jiang Siming glanced at them, but none dared to meet his gaze.


    With so many people backing him up, Wang Jun was no longer afraid of Jiang Siming and continued to mock him, though he no longer dared to mention Jiang Siming''s parents.


    "After so many years in Shanghai, you''re still like this. I became a manager while you''ve always been just a little employee. This is not without reason; those who stand by my side will definitely benefit, while those who go against me will never have a good end!"


    As soon as Wang Jun finished speaking, a graceful figure entered through the door.


    "President Jiang, I''ve moved all the red wine to the car! My hands are aching from carrying it; you need to reward me well~"


    Wang Jun heard the voice and found it very familiar; when he turned around, he was stunned.


    He wasn''t the only one caught off guard; Jiang Siming''s former colleagues also stood there dumbfounded, mouths agape, unable to close them for a long time.


    Zhang Yuhan also saw Wang Jun, and an awkward atmosphere spread throughout the tobacco and liquor store.


    The corners of Wang Jun''s previously proud mouth trembled as he said to Zhang Yuhan, "Baby... what did you just call him?"


    Zhang Yuhan quickly regained her composure and calmly replied, "He is my new boss, the chairman of Yinghuan Financial Company."


    Wang Jun temporarily set aside Jiang Siming''s identity, his mind focused solely on one thought.


    "Your new job is to work beside him?" Wang Jun couldn''t believe his ears.


    "Yes, I am his secretary." Zhang Yuhan felt it was time to lay her cards on the table and stand firm, using this opportunity to express her loyalty to Jiang Siming.


    "Who the hell is his friend? Just a little nobody running errands for someone else. Do you really think he can afford so many cigarettes?"


    Wang Jun was sure he wasn''t mistaken; Jiang Siming was definitely running errands for some boss, and that car surely belonged to someone else.


    Jiang Siming couldn''t be bothered to talk much to someone living in their own world. He picked up the fifteen boxes of cigarettes and walked towards the door.


    "If you want to stay, then stay here with your boyfriend. I''ll give you half a day off," Jiang Siming said as he passed by Zhang Yuhan.


    Zhang Yuhan immediately corrected her attitude and said seriously, "President Jiang, I''ll go back with you; he''s no longer my boyfriend."


    "Dear, what nonsense are you talking?" Wang Jun panicked and stepped forward to grab Zhang Yuhan''s hand, but she slapped it away.


    "Wang Jun, I''m not upset about our argument yesterday, but today you''ve really disappointed me. Because of your personal grievances, you want me to give up my future. You''re too selfish. From today on, we have no relationship at all."


    "Let me explain, dear. There must be some misunderstanding. How could this Jiang possibly be a chairman? You must have been deceived by him!" Wang Jun chased after her, trying to persuade her earnestly.


    Zhang Yuhan, feeling impatient, said, "He is the chairman of Yinghuan Financial! You can check online if you don''t believe me! I don''t want to waste my breath on you anymore; we have already broken up."


    After saying that, Zhang Yuhan quickened her pace and ran to catch up with Jiang Siming. "President Jiang, wait for me~"


    Wang Jun chased after them, only to watch Jiang Siming skillfully open the trunk of that luxury Babbitt car, place the cigarettes inside, and return to the driver''s seat to start the engine.


    Meanwhile, his girlfriend had already taken the passenger seat without hesitation.


    As the car started, it sped away in a flash, disappearing from sight.


    Wang Jun stood there, mouth agape, unsure of what to think.


    The colleagues who had followed behind were also looking at each other, not wanting to say a word.


    They could have attached themselves to Jiang Siming, but the ridiculous thing was that they had let go of this opportunity to climb to greater heights.


    "It''s impossible! It must be impossible! This Jiang is lying! He''s lying!"


    Wang Jun yelled at the air, his face flushed, then turned and ran to his car to chase after the exhaust of the Babbitt, speeding away.

 Chapter 173: He Is Our Chairman

    Following Jiang Siming''s car all the way, they arrived at the underground parking lot of a nearby commercial building.


    By the time Wang Jun caught up, Jiang Siming and Zhang Yuhan had already taken the elevator up.


    Wang Jun immediately found a place to park, noted the elevator floor number, and took the other elevator.


    When he reached the eighteenth floor, as soon as the elevator doors opened, Wang Jun saw Jiang Siming and Zhang Yuhan standing at the front desk, distributing snacks to the receptionists. Several receptionists were chatting and laughing with Jiang Siming.


    Wang Jun felt like he had caught something incriminating and laughed loudly, excitedly rushing over.


    "See? I told you this guy is just a runner! Yuhan, you saw it, right!"


    No one expected Wang Jun to burst in suddenly, and two security guards immediately went over to stop him.


    The sudden arrival of the man startled the receptionists, and Jiang Siming turned around, his tone becoming impatient.


    "Are you still being a fly that won''t quit?"


    "Jiang Siming, keep pretending! I''m here to slap your face publicly today!" Wang Jun was boiling with rage, pointing at Jiang Siming and shouting at the receptionists and security guards.


    "This person is impersonating your company''s chairman, using your chairman''s name to act recklessly outside! Where is your chairman? Call him out; I want to tell him in public!"


    Everyone wanted to take a look at the idiot that was Wang Jun.


    "Our chairman is President Jiang, the person right in front of you," one of the security guards replied.


    "Stop playing along with his act. I know you all work for the same company. Bring out your chairman or your manager!" Wang Jun clearly still didn''t believe it.


    At that moment, Li Yingzi walked out of the office. Unaware, she saw Jiang Siming holding a huge pile of snacks.


    "My dear chairman, you can''t eat all this by yourself! I want three bags of potato chips," Li Yingzi walked up, unceremoniously taking a few bags of chips, only to turn around and realize the atmosphere was off.


    "What''s going on?" Li Yingzi asked curiously.


    "President, this person is causing trouble, claiming our chairman is fake and demanding to see the manager," one of the receptionists explained.


    Hearing this, Li Yingzi chuckled and looked at Wang Jun. "I''m the general manager of this company; what do you want?"

    Wang Jun saw the nameplate on Li Yingzi''s clothes, and it clearly said "General Manager," so there was no mistake.


    Wang Jun was overjoyed and pointed at Li Yingzi, saying, "Your Jiang Siming is pretending to be your chairman, swindling outside, claiming to be your chairman, and even used your company''s card to buy hundreds of thousands worth of cigarettes and alcohol!"


    "Let''s go; I''ll take you home."


    "No need, President Jiang; I can manage by myself," Zhang Yuhan pretended to decline, but the glimmer in her eyes had already betrayed her thoughts.


    "Suit yourself; I''m leaving if you don''t come." Jiang Siming couldn''t be bothered with pleasantries and headed straight for the underground parking lot.


    Zhang Yuhan felt embarrassed, but for the sake of her plan, she put aside her pride and followed him.


    Once back in Jiang Siming''s Babote G800, the chill on Zhang Yuhan disappeared instantly.


    "President Jiang, I''m really sorry about today. I disturbed you," Zhang Yuhan said apologetically.


    Jiang Siming calmly controlled the steering wheel, eyes fixed ahead, and replied, "It has nothing to do with you."


    "But he''s my ex-boyfriend, so I definitely have some responsibility. He was really excessive towards you back then, and I didn''t expect that after all this time, he still hasn''t shown any remorse."


    "That''s why I broke up with him. President Jiang, what do you think love is?"


    Zhang Yuhan had a pitiful look, covering her mouth as if she wanted to cry but couldn''t, even asking such ''infatuated'' questions.


    Jiang Siming, however, remained unshaken, simply responding, "I don''t know what love is; I only know that this car mat is handmade, and if you cry on it, washing the car costs two thousand."


    Zhang Yuhan: "......"


    He drove Zhang Yuhan to the bottom of her apartment building, and then a strange thing happened: Zhang Yuhan suddenly had a stomachache.


    "Are you okay?" Jiang Siming inquired with ''concern.''


    "I''m... I''m fine, President Jiang; it''s just... a stomachache. I''ll rest for a bit down here, and you can go home," she replied.


    After getting out of the car, Zhang Yuhan squatted by the roadside, looking uncomfortable.


    Jiang Siming chose to park the car in the community parking lot, got out, and walked over to help her up.


    "Let me help you upstairs."


    "Thank you, President Jiang." Zhang Yuhan nestled into Jiang Siming''s arms, speaking softly and tenderly.


    Jiang Siming allowed her to lean into him and didn''t hesitate to wrap his arms around her slim waist, his hands wandering freely on it.


    Zhang Yuhan felt warmth rising from her legs, a mix of shame and excitement as she let Jiang Siming''s hands roam.

 Chapter 174: Hanh Hanh, What’s Wrong?

    The two held each other ambiguously as they got into the elevator and went up to the sixth floor.


    Zhang Yuhan wobbled as she took out her keys and opened her rental apartment, which was a one-bedroom unit with plenty amount of floor space.


    For ordinary people working in Shanghai, being able to live alone in a one-bedroom apartment was a luxury beyond their wildest dreams.


    Housing prices in Shanghai are extremely high, and the average wage earner can''t afford a one-bedroom place; most of them share with others.


    Jiang Siming had been the same when he first started out.


    This apartment had been paid for by Wang Jun; otherwise, Zhang Yuhan would have found it hard to afford it.


    The place was fairly clean, but Zhang Yuhan''s clothes, shoes, and various cosmetics were scattered everywhere.


    Zhang Yuhan also had a job, but most of her earnings went toward her appearance. With Wang Jun as a long-term financial backup, she wasn''t worried about going hungry.


    But now that Wang Jun was out of the picture, she decided she had to speed up her plan to win over Jiang Siming, or she''d struggle to get through the month.


    Although she was working at Yinghuan Company, she wouldn''t receive her paycheck until the following month.


    "Sorry, President Jiang. My place is a bit messy," Zhang Yuhan said apologetically.


    "It''s fine," Jiang Siming replied and helped Zhang Yuhan onto the sofa.


    Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuhan''s ankle ''suddenly'' twisted, and she stumbled right into Jiang Siming''s arms, causing them both to fall onto the sofa together.


    "Are you okay?" Jiang Siming watched her ''performance'' calmly, choosing to play along.


    "President Jiang~ I''m so embarrassed~" Zhang Yuhan responded, her face flushed with embarrassment.


    Seeing that Jiang Siming still didn''t react, she began making her move, wrapping her arms around his waist.


    "President Jiang, you probably already know my feelings for you, don''t you? I had to keep my distance before because Wang Jun kept clinging to me. But now that I''ve broken up with him, I wanted to ask... do you like me?"


    As she spoke, her fairly pretty face leaned close to Jiang Siming, her lips slightly parted, her breath fragrant, presenting herself as if ready to be taken.


    "But you just broke up with him," Jiang Siming responded, looking as if he were considering it.


    "I had been emotionally disconnected from him for a long time. Although I was his girlfriend on the surface, I''ve always been unhappy. Ever since you left the agency, I... I''ve often dreamed of you. I miss you a lot..."


    "Hanh-Han, listen to me. I really, truly love you. Today, I was just too impulsive. It''s all because of that guy Jiang, that dog! If it weren''t for him, I..."


    "Ah!"


    "Hanh-Han, what happened?"


    "N-nothing, I just hit my foot..."


    "Why are you so careless? Do you want me to come over and put some ointment on it?" Wang Jun asked gently.


    "No need... it''s fine now."


    "That''s good to hear. Hanh-Han, do you know that you''re the most beautiful, purest girl I''ve ever met? I swear, I won''t marry anyone but you. I love you!"


    Wang Jun''s declaration almost made Jiang Siming burst out laughing.


    But Wang Jun didn''t stop and continued, "Hanh-Han, go to your bedroom window and look down."


    "What''s going on?" Zhang Yuhan felt a bit panicked. Could Wang Jun already be downstairs?


    "Just take a look, and you''ll know. It''s a surprise I prepared just for you," Wang Jun said with anticipation. Find more chapters on empire


    Zhang Yuhan glanced at Jiang Siming, seemingly asking for his opinion.


    Jiang Siming released his large hand, gesturing for her to go check.


    Zhang Yuhan had no choice but to hurriedly throw on some clothes and dash to her bedroom.


    Leaning against the window, Zhang Yuhan looked down and saw Wang Jun standing outside her building. His car was parked nearby, adorned with flowers and little lights.


    Among the flowers were an LV bag and an elegant ladies'' wristwatch.


    She recognized both items instantly; they were things she''d always wanted. The combined price of the bag and watch was close to 50,000 yuan.


    For Wang Jun, a small-time manager, 50,000 yuan was a large sum, and he had always hesitated to spend it.


    This time, he had gone all out, determined to win Zhang Yuhan back.

 Chapter 175: Hulunbuir Grassland

    As soon as Zhang Yuhan appeared, Wang Jun spotted her and excitedly waved.


    "Hanh-Han, did you see it?"


    "Uh... yeah..." Zhang Yuhan felt a bit touched; women are often vulnerable to this kind of romantic pursuit.


    Moreover, Zhang Yuhan is an extremely materialistic person, and Wang Jun knew how to cater to her tastes, easily finding a way into her heart.


    Yes, if Jiang Siming hadn''t been here today, Zhang Yuhan might have already gone downstairs to reconcile with Wang Jun.


    Just as Zhang Yuhan was wondering where Jiang Siming had gone, she turned around to find him standing behind her, pulling down her already loose clothing even further.


    Zhang Yuhan''s face turned pale, and she quickly pulled herself back inside, terrified that Wang Jun might see.


    "Hanh-Han, why aren''t you looking at me anymore?" Wang Jun asked, puzzled as he noticed she was no longer at the window.


    "I''m no longer interested in these things. Take them back; we''re already broken up."


    Zhang Yuhan bit her lip, struggling to hold back.


    At that moment, Jiang Siming was holding her firmly from behind.


    "Hanh-Han, did you know? From the first day I met you, I..."


    As Wang Jun''s voice continued, Zhang Yuhan felt like a lone boat drifting in the vast sea, on the verge of collapse, nearly voiceless.


    Wang Jun stood downstairs for over an hour, speaking words of love towards Zhang Yuhan''s bedroom window on the sixth floor, but she never responded.


    Finally, Zhang Yuhan''s weak voice came through: "I''m tired. Going to sleep. You should go back."


    And then, with a click, she hung up the phone.


    After she hung up, Zhang Yuhan saw that Jiang Siming had already dressed and left. She wanted to go after him, but her body was completely exhausted.


    Downstairs, Wang Jun, utterly perplexed, decided to go up and check.


    But as he entered the residential area, he saw an enormous luxury car parked in the lot.


    The car looked far too familiar, so familiar it stung his eyes.


    "This can''t be... no way..." Wang Jun tried to console himself, thinking it was just a coincidence. Seeing two cars of the same model in one day wasn''t that unusual.


    Since no one was around to see, Wang Jun shamelessly prioritized escaping Jiang Siming''s beating.


    Jiang Siming looked down at Wang Jun, shaking his head in disappointment. "I thought you might be some sort of strong-willed man. If that were the case, I might actually respect you. But alas, you''ve really let me down."


    "I''m giving you two choices now. First, continue to oppose me. Or second, come to my company tomorrow, take a million yuan, leave Shanghai, and never let me see you here again. Think it over."


    With that, Jiang Siming got in his car and drove off.


    Experience more content on empire


    Wang Jun''s expression was complex. Emotions like resentment, jealousy, and anger faded in the face of Jiang Siming''s million-yuan offer.


    Although he was a small-time manager, his monthly salary was just over twenty to thirty thousand, and his car was bought with money from his family, with loans still unpaid.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have hesitated to spend five thousand on Zhang Yuhan. Besides, his colleagues witnessed everything today.


    It wouldn''t be long before everyone in the company knew he''d been publicly humiliated.


    Wang Jun had no face to stay at his current company, nor any benefits from opposing Jiang Siming. Zhang Yuhan was clearly completely smitten with Jiang Siming, so there was no chance of getting her back.


    It was wiser to take the money and leave.


    The one million yuan completely broke Wang Jun''s will.


    On the third day, Wang Jun appeared at Winhuan Company, leaving Jiang Siming''s office with an excited expression.


    But as he stepped outside, he saw Zhang Yuhan approaching the office. The two exchanged a glance, choosing to ignore each other and go their separate ways.


    "President Jiang~" Zhang Yuhan''s voice turned sweet as soon as she entered Jiang Siming''s office.


    Jiang Siming, however, remained indifferent, as if he didn''t remember anything from the night before.


    "Wang Jun took a million from me. How much do you want?"


    "What? A million?" Zhang Yuhan was stunned for a second by the number, then feigned innocence, "Do you think I''m just a gold digger to you?"


    "I don''t have time for idle chatter. Last night was simply a way for me to vent some frustration from the way Wang Jun treated me in the past, and you were just my outlet. So, don''t expect anything more, and don''t ask for too much. Otherwise, you''ll end up with nothing."


    Jiang Siming had never intended to have any further involvement with this woman. Now that Wang Jun had surrendered, he saw no reason to keep this scheming woman around.


    It was best to get rid of her all at once.

 Chapter 176: Making a Profit of Five Hundred Million

    Zhang Yihan''s expression kept changing, and Jiang Siming didn''t want to waste any more words on her. He also signed a one-million-yuan check and placed it in front of her. "Take it and go to HR to process your resignation. Let''s part ways amicably and not turn this into a bitter feud; that would be pointless." Jiang Siming laid it all out. Zhang Yihan, knowing when to stop, picked up the check and left the office. She soon resigned and left.


    For a woman like her, even though she failed to seduce a wealthy and handsome man like Jiang Siming, getting one million yuan was already very satisfactory. So, materialistic women are the easiest to deal with. Jiang Siming easily got rid of all the trouble for a cost of just two million yuan, which, to him, was probably just enough to treat the company employees to a few meals.


    "Finally, the workday is over. I''m going home to stream games after work today!" Jiang Siming sighed with relief. The reason he came to work every day was to resolve the issues with Zhang Yihan and Wang Jun, and also to settle a personal grudge. Today, he still needed to stay because the price of Liangan stocks was almost at its peak.


    Jiang Siming came out of the office and went straight to the trading room. There were already more than twenty traders gathered in the room, with the sound of computers and their voices overlapping. "Chairman!"


    Seeing Jiang Siming approach, everyone stopped their actions. Jiang Siming smiled and said, "Continue, no need to pay attention to me. Just follow President Li''s instructions."


    Li Yingzi walked up to Jiang Siming with a smile and handed him a Lozenges. "Are you feeling uncomfortable in the throat?" Jiang Siming asked in confusion.


    "Of course, I''ve been giving orders and making arrangements non-stop for the past few days. It would be strange if my throat didn''t hurt." Li Yingzi''s voice was indeed a bit hoarse.


    "That''s easy to solve. I''ll buy you some traditional Chinese medicine later, and one dose should do the trick." Stay updated through empire


    "You know medicine?"


    "I know a little," Jiang Siming replied. Jiang Siming has a basic medical technique, so it''s too easy for him to deal with such minor ailments. Li Yingzi nodded and didn''t have time to delve deeper, as the Liangan stock was now closing.


    "President Li, the Liangan stock has risen to 11.4 yuan."


    Everyone was even happier, being hit by Jiang Siming''s barrage of rewards and almost willing to lay down their lives for him.


    YingHuan Financial''s first transaction netted nearly five hundred million yuan.


    All this money went directly into Jiang Siming''s pocket, and he didn''t even have to pay taxes, as stock trading gains are considered capital gains and are tax-free.


    This was much more satisfying than winning the lottery.


    It also brought in money faster than his live streaming. Jiang Siming marveled at the power of the black technology fragment. Even if he stopped gaming now, with this fragment, he could eventually become a Forbes billionaire!


    Currently, Jiang Siming''s liquid assets reached nearly six hundred million yuan, with zeros stretching out on the end of his bank card balance.


    If you included his fixed assets, such as hotels, luxury stores, and villas, the total could approach one billion yuan.


    Of course, while this amount of money looks substantial, in Shanghai, it is nothing special and still falls far short of what the truly wealthy have.


    Although he didn''t want to compete for the title of the richest person, Jiang Siming thought that with so many girlfriends, he should at least earn enough to support them.


    Yes, that''s the goal!

 Chapter 177: Mom, I’m Bending!

    After returning from the company gathering, Jiang Siming started a live stream late at night. He hadn''t streamed much over the past two days, feeling somewhat guilty towards his audience, so he decided to make up for it late at night!


    "Dang! Ming God, you finally started streaming!"


    "You only start at night, have you been slacking off recently?"


    "What the heck! Starting a late-night stream still gets you over 5 million people online, with a popularity of 120 million, that''s awesome!"


    "Not seeing my Ming husband for two days, I miss you so much~"


    "I was just about to sleep when I saw the notification on my phone, now I''m wide awake!"... Seeing these adorable comments, Jiang Siming''s mood improved greatly. The money earned by Yinghuan Company didn''t make him this happy; perhaps it was due to his interests. He was more willing to play games and chat with his fans.


    "I''ve been a bit busy over the past two days, so it''s been delayed. Tonight, I''ll show my face and stream, and I''ll sing a new song for everyone later to make up for it." As he spoke, Jiang Siming turned on the camera. Today, his face was slightly red, having drunk quite a bit. At the company gathering, he had at least been toasted with several bottles of red wine. In the past, Jiang Siming couldn''t hold his liquor; one beer would make him fall over. However, after the intermediate gene enhancement, his alcohol tolerance had significantly improved. Even after drinking several bottles, he was only slightly flushed. The employees let him leave early when they saw his alcohol tolerance. They had no choice; if they didn''t let him go, Jiang Siming might have taken them all down. With his flushed face, Jiang Siming seemed even more charming, exuding a hazy, intoxicated allure.


    The girls watching the live stream in their rooms at night were hiding under their blankets, hearts racing, legs involuntarily closing and clenching, and some even unconsciously reaching their hands down there... "Heart heart heart heart heart heart heart heart heart heart~" "Pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert~"


    "Did Ming Shen drink? His face is red!"


    "It''s the first time I''ve seen Ming Shen''s face turn red. Why do I, a guy, feel so nervous?"


    "It''s over, mom, I''ve turned gay!" "Gay guys +q959669661, let''s hook up in the same city!"... It''s like the guys in the blankets are seeing an absolutely beautiful woman; the feeling is universal. In fact, when girls get into it, they can be even more lustful than guys. Okay, so why are there even more male comments...


    Jiang Siming adjusted the camera, didn''t start the game for the moment, but instead started browsing other streamers'' rooms. It was already past one in the morning, and most of the big streamers on Douyu had signed off. Only a few well-known late-night Chicken Game streamers like Pigff, 17shou, and Immortal were still at it. Most of the others were outdoor streamers, like Sanjiu, Fengfeng San Hao, and Zhenzheng Bo. Broadcasting extravaganzas with luxury cars and flirting with girls late at night, Jiang Siming personally had no interest in those. But many male viewers loved them, after all, they all had the dream of driving a sports car and flirting with girls. Qian Xiaojia, who had a conflict with Jiang Siming before, was also streaming, his bad teeth were terrifying, but the live room had a high number of viewers, over ten million, with more than one million online.


    Leaving Huya, Jiang Siming returned to Douyu. He had originally intended to send some gifts to Zhu Tou and the others, but now, forget about it!


    Jiang Siming clicked into 17shou''s live stream. Ever since the 17 team returned from London, they had been training diligently. As the team captain, 17shou livestreamed his training sessions until the early hours of the morning every day.


    As soon as he clicked in, 17shou had just completed a solo chicken dinner with 15 kills, a very impressive score.


    Upon exiting the lobby, 17shou noticed his viewer count suddenly skyrocket from over 800,000 to over 2 million. Then he understood.


    "The world champion has the time to grace my live stream, truly an honor. I haven''t thanked you for helping our 17 team several times during the finals, so thank you, Ming God."


    "Don''t mention it, I didn''t really help you. I just couldn''t stand those minor players jumping around."


    "Ha ha, well said, especially those Korean teams. They all play dirty tricks, coordinating their routes in advance. Unless it''s the final circle, they won''t fight each other when they meet. Our 17 team encountered their coordinated attacks several times, which was very annoying," 17shou said with some regret and frustration.


    "No worries, we can beat them in the next match."


    "Right, by the way, the domestic spring tournament is starting next month. You won''t be sitting this one out again, will you?" 17shou asked curiously.


    "Who said that? This time, I''m definitely going," Jiang Siming said without hesitation. "Joking, it was already painful enough for him not to participate in the previous domestic league, he must definitely participate in all the future matches, after all, these are the sources of high-drop-rate fragments~"


    "That''s it, then we can only compete for the runner-up position in 17 again," 17shou said half-jokingly, but he really meant it. With Jiang Siming around, 17 really couldn''t compete with him... Stay tuned with empire

 Chapter 178: New Wal-Mart Supermarket Fragments

    "No way, Mingshen, you have to compensate me, take me in a duo." 17shou had a rogue look on his face, seeing this as an opportunity that must be seized. "Sure, come on, but playing on the Asian server is no fun anymore.


    How about we go to the American server?" Jiang Siming replied very pleasantly. "No problem! Wherever you say! Haha, Monkey and Da Jing, I''m not playing with you guys anymore. I''m duosing with Mingshen. You two can play on your own."


    "No way! Captain, you can''t do this!"


    "I want to play with Mingshen too."


    "But what about us three?"


    Read exclusive content at empire


    "Why don''t we just kick Da Jing out?"


    "Why not you get kicked out!"... 17 Team started their usual bickering mode. 17shou immediately left the YY chat and happily ran into Jiang Siming''s YY. The two of them logged onto the American server. "Mingshen, your American server rank is also pretty high, 3000 already." 17shou noticed Jiang Siming''s American server rank.


    "Yeah, I usually play a few matches whenever I have nothing to do." Jiang Siming replied nonchalantly. Actually, it was because the first time he played on the American server, he was annoyed by two American streamers, Varys and Bob. So whenever Jiang Siming had free time, he would visit the American server, each time thoroughly enjoying the slaughter and making the American players he encountered quit out of frustration. His rank quickly shot up. 17shou, who frequently played on the American server, had an even higher rank, at 3500 points. When the two played in a duo, they would only be matched with the top players on the American server, not the noobs 17shou initially expected. They clicked ''Ready,'' and soon entered the game. The current atmosphere on the American server was entirely different from before. There were no longer those racist streamers causing trouble, and without these annoying people, the atmosphere on the American server was actually quite good. And North American players generally love to engage in intense gunfights, which is also why professional players like to play on the NA server to practice their skills.


    About to become teammates with Jiang Siming, 17shou became serious all of a sudden; he didn''t want to be just a freeloader relying on others. In contrast to his intense focus, Jiang Siming seemed too relaxed, even taking the time to browse the news. A piece of entertainment news caught Jiang Siming''s attention. The famous South Korean actress Yoon Eun-hye had taken on a new Korean drama but hadn''t found a suitable male lead yet, and she was about to come to Shanghai, China, to scout for actors. Jiang Siming wasn''t thinking about acting; instead, he learned from Lin Yoon that one of the three Korean girls he used to game with was Yoon Eun-hye. If she were to come to China, he wondered if his "Yoon" might have time to visit as well. If she could come, that would be fantastic. Last time, her period ruined their plans, but if she could come this time, Jiang Siming was determined not to let this opportunity slip through his fingers.


    Jiang Siming didn''t want all the players in P City to be killed by him; he still needed to find more fragments.


    With the [Small Range Equipment Perception] ability, Jiang Siming didn''t need to search for a weapon. Within a five-meter radius, he could sense the equipment inside buildings without entering them.


    After a quick scan, he found no weapons in the church, but there was a 98k below in a flat-roofed house. Beyond five meters, there were no other weapons.


    Jiang Siming could only pick up the lone 98k.


    "God Ming, you don''t have a rifle. Should we keep searching for a bit?" 17shou suggested.


    P City was full of buildings, and the 98k had limited usefulness, making it easy to be trapped and killed inside a house. "No, I''ll find someone to shoot." Jiang Siming declined the other person''s offer of help and walked out of the house with his 98k. 17shou had no choice but to hurriedly follow. It was his first time playing a duo match with Jiang Siming, and to be honest, he was a bit nervous. This super killing machine from the London World Championship, even in the eyes of professional players like them, was a freak of nature, unmatched in strength.


    Playing the game with him, 17shou felt immense pressure, worried that his skills were too weak and that everyone would see the stark contrast between the two of them. Jiang Siming, with his enhanced hearing, was equally adept in urban battles. As soon as they walked past the road near the church, Jiang Siming heard a faint sound of footsteps slowly moving on the second-floor balcony of a three-story building ahead. Jiang Siming glanced at the second-floor balcony and saw a black AK muzzle poke out from the balcony position, aiming straight at them. Bang! The sound of gunfire suddenly rang out, causing 17shou''s hand holding the mouse to tremble.


    When you are suddenly very alert and serious, the sound of gunfire in your ear is really scary. But 17shou realized that Jiang Siming wasn''t trying to scare him; the moment he fired, a takedown notification appeared. "How did he see someone in that building? I didn''t hear any footsteps at all." Despite his confusion, 17shou quickly followed Jiang Siming into the building. With one person down, the other would surely come to help.


    "Ming, with your 98k, it''s hard to rush in. I''ll... go..." Before 17shou could finish his sentence, Jiang Siming charged into the building with the sniper rifle that was practically useless for such a scenario. 17shou immediately followed, but as soon as he stepped onto the stairs, the sound of another gunshot echoed from above. By the time he reached the second floor, the remaining player''s head had just been punctured by a bullet, and the match was over for him. Oh, there was still one thing left to do¡ªloot the gear. 17shou smiled bitterly, the killer lunatic really lives up to the name, daring to storm a building with a 98k, no professional player would have that kind of nerve.

 Chapter 179: Encounter with the North American Marksmanship God!

    After searching these two boxes, Jiang Siming was no longer just a lone sniper; he had an AK rifle, though without any attachments, not even a scope. Jiang Siming was completely unperturbed, and the two quickly went downstairs, heading to other battlefields. *Bang bang bang bang!* Just as they walked out of the building, the sound of two guns suddenly came from the roof across the street, targeting Jiang Siming and 17shou.


    In the city of P, all the houses have accessible rooftops, which is a common tactic known to many. 17shou, unfortunately, got hit by several bullets and fell to the ground. But he was puzzled; Jiang Siming had clearly walked out of the house before him and was also hit by bullets, so why didn''t he fall, and instead, it was himself who fell? Moreover, they were both wearing Level 1 armor. Recalling Jiang Siming''s actions just now, 17shou found the reason for the problem. Jiang Siming was also hit by bullets, but as soon as the bullets touched him, he began to twist his body, dodging the subsequent fatal shots. "I''ve always heard that Ming God''s body movement is even more impressive than his marksmanship; it turns out the rumors are true." 17shou thought to himself.


    When you have a teammate who is much stronger than you, you are very happy because not only can you easily win the game, but you can also learn from their skills. "No wonder Wei Shen and the others have improved their skills; they must have learned a lot from Ming God." 17shou felt a bit envious. He regretted once again why he didn''t convince the club to sign Ming God back then. After dodging, Jiang Siming moved out with lightning speed, and with a single shot from his 98k, he headshot one of the people on the roof. Moreover, Jiang Siming was very considerate; he shot the one who could see 17shou in their line of sight. If he had shot the other one, 17shou might still have been finished off.


    Without the worry of his teammate being eliminated, Jiang Siming confidently went back to help his teammate up. After all, they are all professional players, it wouldn''t be right to let someone else observe the whole game. "Thanks, Senior. Otherwise, I would have been out." 17shou got up again, feeling relieved to still be alive with the bandages wrapped around him. Being praised as the P Town dominator just moments ago, he couldn''t afford to die right after that, it would be too embarrassing.


    "You''re welcome to thank me, but these two kills should go to me," Jiang Siming said. "No problem, I''ll help you with the crossfire," 17shou responded very cooperatively. Jiang Siming stepped out again and found that the person he had knocked down was already back on his feet. However, these two players perfectly fit the American server''s playstyle, completely fearless. After getting back up, they showed themselves again, ready to face off with Jiang Siming once more! "Bang!" There was the familiar sound of a sniper shot. While Jiang Siming was reloading behind cover, the guy on the rooftop was already down again. Seizing the opportunity, 17shou finished off the opponent, making the kill entirely Jiang Siming''s.


    With one more left, Jiang Siming was just about to go out to deal with him. However, another team was coming from their front, trying to flank them. The fights in P Town were fast-paced, even faster than at the airport. You might finish off one team, and another could already be sneaking up on you. But this team didn''t know what kind of enemies they were trying to ambush. As soon as they appeared in Jiang Siming''s line of sight, his AK mercilessly sprayed them. 17shou saw them too, but before he could fire a shot, the entire team was already dead at Jiang Siming''s hands. 17shou was stunned for a few seconds, suddenly having the impulse not to play with Jiang Siming anymore.


    Man, how are you supposed to play when your teammate is this strong? While it was great to have such a strong teammate, he felt like he was invisible, with no sense of existence. Recalling how Jiang Siming handled that team just now, he knocked one down and then instantly switched to take out the other in a flash. This operation left 17shou feeling utterly desperate; he just couldn''t learn it! Even though he understood it, and it seemed simple, he just couldn''t pick it up. At this moment, three parts of 17shou''s body were in communication...


    Brain: I''ve got it!


    Heart: It''s so simple, you get it at a glance!


    Hands: ??????


    Brain: How can you be so stupid!


    "I''ll just be the ruler of the game," Jiang Siming replied.


    17shou clutched his chest, feeling suffocated. He thought Jiang Siming was genuinely trying to comfort him, but it turned out... it was all just a trick!


    17shou drove Jiang Siming away from P City. In the car, Jiang Siming returned to his cheerful demeanor. He had found another Huayi Shares fragment in P City!


    He was just one fragment away from collecting them all, and Jiang Siming was almost too eager to gather the last piece and welcome his famous girlfriend.


    At the same time, two AWM shots were heard coming from the direction of the school. Two kill notifications appeared in the upper right corner.


    "Player [Grimmmz] used the AWM sniper rifle to take down [TTTK]"


    "Player [Grimmmz] used the AWM sniper rifle to kill [Cireei]"


    This ID caught the attention of both Jiang Siming and 17shou.


    "This seems to be the ID of the North American sniper god. Let me check, and it really is!" 17shou discovered the player.


    Your journey continues on empire


    They hadn''t expected to encounter the North American king of PUBG, previously recognized by Bluehole as the top sniper and also known as the best PUBG player, Grimmmz!

 Chapter 180: Seeking Trouble Proactively!

    Grimmmz became famous much earlier than Jiang Siming. Not long after the public beta of PUBG, Grimmmz had already become renowned in North America, earning the nickname "G God." Like Jiang Siming, he was also famous for his sniper skills, and his playstyle was extremely aggressive, which was widely loved by players from various countries. Unfortunately, Grimmmz chose not to join any professional teams or participate in competitions, and to this day, he remains just a casual player.


    When in London, a host had asked Jiang Siming who he thought was stronger between himself and Grimmmz. At the time, Jiang Siming answered without hesitation that he was much stronger. This statement actually caused quite a stir in the North American region, with many of Grimmmz''s fans being very displeased. They felt that Grimmmz just didn''t participate in professional competitions, but if he did, Jiang Siming wouldn''t even have a say, at least in terms of sniping. Some media outlets also interviewed Grimmmz about his thoughts on Jiang Siming''s statement. Grimmmz also expressed his displeasure and publicly stated that he wanted to have a showdown with Jiang Siming.


    Now, it seems that both of them have their chance. During the chaos in P City, Grimmmz had already seen the information popping up in the top right corner. Since Jiang Siming was playing his main account, a quick confirmation revealed that this person was indeed Jiang Siming from 4AM. Moreover, Grimmmz had with him a very strong teammate, Shroud! The two of them were known as the strongest casual players in North America, with Shroud being renowned as the best assault player, his assault rifles being universally recognized as world-class. Together, their combined strength was on par with any professional team player, and in terms of individual prowess, they might even be stronger.


    "What do you think, should we go for it?" 17shou asked.


    "Definitely, we must go for it. It''s rare to encounter someone worth facing, so we should hurry over," Jiang Siming said without any worry.


    Actually, he didn''t need to take this risk at all, as he had already become a world champion and didn''t need to prove himself anymore. If he loses, he''ll lose a lot of face. 17shou feels that if it were him, he probably wouldn''t seek out trouble with the other party, after all, reputation is very important. But since Jiang Siming has spoken, he can only hurry to the school. At the same time, God and Shroud are also very much looking forward to their match against Jiang Siming. In their view, Jiang Siming is a rising star, a junior, who, although he has won the world championship, shows no respect to them, the seniors.


    He even declared in front of the whole world that he is much stronger than them, which is something no one would accept without feeling indignant. "This is a great opportunity, Grimmmz, you need to perform well. If it really comes to a 2v2, I''ll help you suppress that 17shou," Shroud said. "Don''t worry, I''m confident. This guy''s strongest skill is instant sniping, but my sniper rifle isn''t just for show. Besides, I''ve been practicing instant sniping recently, and although I haven''t made much progress, my skills have improved a lot. I think it should be enough to handle him."


    Another shot, and he missed again. God began to have a premonition that the opponent was definitely not an ordinary player. Moreover, the car didn''t drive away. It stopped near the school''s apartment complex. One of the people in the car fired a 98k shot blindly at God''s position. "It seems like Ming is here!" Shroud exclaimed. Previously, looking at the information in the top right corner, Jiang Siming was using a 98k.


    Moreover, God G, in his arrogance, even took off his Level 3 helmet. He wanted to defeat Jiang Siming in the fairest way possible, so no one could say anything about it. After all, in a sniper duel, apart from a Level 3 helmet which can block a single shot from a sniper rifle, other helmets are practically useless.


    Experience tales at empire


    There was a brief silence between the two sides. God G''s team didn''t dare to shoot first, as it would reveal their position prematurely, giving the other side the chance to pre-aim.


    If it were a fight against normal players, God G wouldn''t mind this slight disadvantage. But the opponent was the world champion, the official PUBG monster recognized by Bluehole.


    He had to calculate even the tiniest advantages, gathering them all for a surefire victory. He didn''t shoot, but Jiang Siming had no such patience. He poked his head out the window and fired a shot at the school randomly, exposing his position without any reserve. "Very well, you will pay the price for your arrogance!" G God said with excitement.


    His hands, however, didn''t pause for a moment, and he brought his AWM to the window, scoped in to lock onto the spot where Jiang Siming had just shown himself. But Jiang Siming acted as if he was completely unaware, poking his head out the window again, seemingly ready to fire another warning shot. G God''s audience held their breath, wondering if the world champion was really going to fall so easily under G God''s gun.


    Even G God almost believed it, and the moment Jiang Siming''s arm appeared, G God decisively pulled the trigger! Firing early, as long as the opponent showed even a bit more of himself, the AWM bullet would pierce his head, or at the very least, his chest. But to his surprise, the bullet only hit the wall inside the opponent''s house; there was no sign of blood. G God immediately understood. Jiang Siming had deliberately shown his arm, making him think he was about to come out and shoot, but in reality, he had only shown that much before retreating quickly, causing the bullet to miss. He had been tricked. "This kind of petty cleverness isn''t worth showing off," G God thought, sneering inwardly. But his eyes were now more focused on the screen...

 Chapter 181: Each Takes Five!

    Successfully pinpointing God G''s location, Jiang Siming wore a victorious smile. He wasn''t afraid that God G would change his position; if he chose to move, it would mean he was too scared to fight head-on. He believed God G wouldn''t do such a thing. Currently, the conditions for both were almost equal, with the only difference being their firearms¡ªGod G had an AWM, while Jiang Siming had a 98k. However, a headshot from a sniper rifle always took one bullet, so there wasn''t much of a difference.


    God G didn''t dare to let Jiang Siming aim his scope and get the first shot off. He couldn''t do instant aiming, and even though he had been practicing recently, he had only grasped the basics. He had no confidence that he could hit a target with instant aiming; hitting once out of ten shots would be a good result. Therefore, God G chose to follow Jiang Siming''s strategy and quickly shifted his position by the window.


    Bang! Sure enough, Jiang Siming''s bullet instantly struck the wall behind Grimmz. The bait worked, and God G felt a bit smug. He immediately aimed his scope and targeted the edge where Jiang Siming would likely appear. He even positioned his crosshair at the most extreme edge, ready to take him down instantly as soon as Jiang Siming showed his head, confident that he had an 80% chance of doing so.


    But the next moment left God G stunned. Jiang Siming actually jumped in front of the window! Yes, he stood by the window and suddenly jumped in place. His body was fully exposed, but his helmet was nowhere to be seen. And the instant he landed, Jiang Siming had already fired his bullet. In a panic, God G could only follow Jiang Siming''s bullet with his own shot. He didn''t know if he hit, but he knew he had fallen...


    In mid-air, Jiang Siming had landed a 98k shot, and he also took a bullet from God G. But it only hit his armor, costing him a lot of health but not his life. But in this sniper duel, Jiang Siming had already won, crushing G god with his strength and intelligence. "Awesome, awesome! Ming God, you''ve proven you''re the world''s best sniper!" 17shou was the first to get excited. G god, lying on the ground, was extremely unwilling.


    He immediately called Shroud over to help him up. "I want another round with him!" How could a legendary North American sniper, one of the earliest god-level players in PUBG, lose to a junior!


    "I was careless this time. I didn''t expect him to use that move. I definitely won''t lose this time, I have to turn it around!" G god set a flag for himself. After being helped up, G god shot a bullet at the opposite window, a provocative act of declaring war. "Want another round? Looks like you''re not convinced."


    Jiang Siming smiled. "Ignore him, you''ve already won. A one-on-one is a one-time thing; there''s no such thing as a continuous rematch. That''s too unfair." 17shou stood up for Jiang Siming. "It''s fine, I''m bored anyway. Sniping a few more rounds with him wouldn''t be bad, at least it''ll let me live up to the hype I''ve been building at the World Cup."


    The two faced off again! This time, G god was even more cautious. He even changed his position from the window, moving to a more hidden and harder-to-aim-at spot on the left. But not even five seconds later, he was down again... Shroud helped him up again, and after ten more seconds, G god fell for the third time!


    But the matter was far from over. It wasn''t until the fifth fall that G god''s mental state completely broke down. Shroud didn''t dare to move an inch beside him. If he moved more than five meters away from G god, he would lose a lot of health and die. "This is a monster! If he weren''t a professional player who''s competed, I would definitely report him to the officials! It''s just too unrealistic!" G god shouted, venting his frustration and the humiliation of being killed five times in a row. Sure, here is the translation sentence by sentence:


    He faced off in five sniper duels, and he didn''t win a single one!


    "I am not going to do this again. Anyone who snipes with him next is a fool!" Shroud said, thoroughly defeated, adding, "Are you sure this guy isn''t using aim-lock or something?"


    "If he were using it, could he still be the world champion? I think you''re just being dominated," G God replied.


    "Maybe you''re right. I hope Ming''s fans don''t curse me; I truly admit defeat. But I don''t plan on sniping anymore. I''m going to find him and face off with an assault rifle. I believe his rifle skills aren''t as good as mine."


    Shroud was still not satisfied; he felt he hadn''t used his best skills and thus couldn''t accept the loss.


    G God, on the other hand, "Come on, come on, Grimmmz, follow me! Don''t be such a wimp, I''ll take you to get revenge, and I''ll make him suffer with my AK!" Shroud went downstairs and started the motorcycle. G god had no choice but to follow, and the two of them circled around, avoiding that window, and rushed into the school district housing.


    They then charged to the building where Jiang Siming and 17shou were located. 17shou, who was on the first floor, immediately opened fire and successfully took down G god, but Shroud''s bullets quickly finished him off.


    "Great, it''s just Ming left. We''ll do a one-on-one with assault rifles, very fair," Shroud said with a confident smile. Jiang Siming understood Shroud''s intention; after the sniper duel, he wanted to test their skills with assault rifles. Fine, he was more than willing to oblige! To ensure a fair fight, Jiang Siming jumped out of the window and landed behind the wall outside the house. Shroud immediately ran to the other side of the wall, and the two of them were now separated by a wall as if they were in different worlds.


    "Go for it, Shroud, I believe in you," G god, who had died quickly from the rapid loss of health, said. But he was happier because this allowed him to lock onto Shroud''s perspective and watch more closely. Although Shroud was confident, his expression also became extremely serious. He turned his gun to one side, braced his steps, and slowly walked toward the end of the wall. Despite bracing his steps, the distance was so close that both of them could hear each other and knew each other''s positions.


    Jiang Siming moved much faster than Shroud, and he was about to walk past the wall. Shroud, excited, readied his gun in advance, aiming at the position where Jiang Siming''s head would appear. He had watched Jiang Siming''s assault rifle videos and knew that Jiang Siming also preferred headshots. If Shroud aimed for the body, Jiang Siming could still lock onto his head and finish him off. So Shroud knew he had to aim for the head. Continue your saga on empire


    The body appeared! Shroud was overjoyed and immediately pulled the trigger, aiming right where Jiang Siming''s head was about to appear. But what no one could have predicted was that at the moment Jiang Siming exposed his body, he made a bending and crouching motion. It was precisely because of this move that the bullets from his opponent''s gun all missed. And Jiang Siming turned around and, in less than the time it takes to snap a finger, eliminated his opponent. The entire confrontation lasted less than two seconds, but the intensity was on par with a ten-player team battle in League of Legends! The shortest time created the fastest heartbeats.

 Chapter 182: You’re Really Devious, Divine Spirit!

    The entire process of this confrontation made all the viewers watching the live stream feel that it was not much worse than watching the world finals. One team consisted of a world champion and the captain of a top Chinese team. The other team comprised two famous and powerful street players. Your journey continues with empire


    The strength of these two teams could be considered the highest individual level in PUBG, and this confrontation had people on the edge of their seats. If someone were to watch the replay, they would see that the details of the confrontation between these two teams were full of content. However, whether they could understand and glean insights from it depended on their own abilities and talent.


    "Mingshen, they seem to be talking to you, have you opened the voice chat?" 17shou heard G god and Shroud speaking English after they were downed, but he couldn''t understand them.


    "I didn''t, let me open it and listen." Jiang Siming, puzzled, opened the full voice chat.


    "Hey, I''m Grimmmz, Ming, you''re the strongest individual player I''ve ever seen, but I''m not going to give up that easily."


    Hearing this, Jiang Siming replied, "Are you planning to challenge me again? You should know you''ve already lost five times."


    "Of course, I want to challenge you, but not now. I''m not as good as you right now, but I will soon join another professional team. We''ll meet in the competition next year." G god made a surprising statement.


    The North American sniper god was going to join professional competitions! This was big news, and players in North America would be overjoyed.


    "Even if you join a professional team, you still won''t be able to beat me. This is the gap, and it can''t be bridged." Jiang Siming didn''t hold back in striking at the other side.


    17shou felt a bit embarrassed watching; couldn''t Ming be a bit more humble? If you talk to people like that, won''t they end up hating you?


    It''s a helpless situation. The location for this air drop was by the cliffs beside a large lake outside Y City. When Jiang Siming and 17shou arrived, there were already three teams in a standoff there. As soon as their car pulled up, everyone started using them for target practice. Since the teams couldn''t fight each other at the moment, the sight of ''outsiders'' made them all united in their hostility.


    Thankfully, it was Jiang Siming driving this time; if it had been 17shou, the car would probably have already exploded. Using wild tail swerves and smooth drifts, Jiang Siming safely drove the car to a spot near the air drop. Under the focused fire of six people, the car still had half its health left.


    "6666, Old Driver, you''re so awesome!" 17shou couldn''t help but admire the driving skills, feeling that his own skills were already pretty good. He never expected that Jiang Siming was the real Takumi Fujiwara of the game, while he, at best, was just... the gas station owner''s son, Amu.


    "Move the car further away, don''t get caught in the blast radius and hurt ourselves," Jiang Siming casually gave a reason to send 17shou away. As soon as 17shou got in the car, Jiang Siming''s 98k started ''working.''


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    With the wide-open view from this spot, the three teams were basically all exposed to his sight. Three shots, three kills.


    17shou loudly protested that he had been duped. Damn, at this rate, he wouldn''t get any kills again! Mingshen, you''re so devious!

 Chapter 183: Butcher’s Bounty

    Each team had someone fall down under Jiang Siming¡¯s 98K. Terrified, the three teams immediately threw smokes for their teammates, resulting in a smoky haze covering the cliff in no time. However, the smoke grenades were as good as non-existent to Jiang Siming; he could clearly see the three players inside, busy rescuing their teammates.


    But he chose to kill only one of them and then stopped. After all, killing one could be considered luck, but wiping out all of them would indeed be a bit too much. Although they couldn¡¯t possibly prove he was cheating, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t want to be that merciless. He had to give these American server players some game experience, right?


    After taking out one team, and seeing the other two still reviving their teammates, Jiang Siming even had the leisure to check out the super airdrop. To his delight, there was indeed a shard inside, and it was even a green shard. "Picked up [Controlled Aura] Green Shard *1 (1/3). Fragment count not complete; cannot be used yet." [Controlled Aura]: Allows for the user to freely controlling one¡¯s aura and temperament, divided into six major categories: Laid-back, Rascal, Sunny, Cold, Overbearing, and Mature. Each of these major categories can be further refined into varying degrees of subtlety.


    There¡¯s actually such a shard. Jiang Siming was a bit surprised, but this skill could be incredibly useful for flirting and acting. It allows for targeted attraction of different ¡¯tastes¡¯ of girls, and these six categories practically cover all the preferences girls have for men. When it comes to flirting, it¡¯s a smooth, versatile experience, catering to whatever type of guy the girl wants.


    Besides flirting, it¡¯s also great for acting. With this [Controlled Aura], one can effortlessly change the aura and temperament required by the script roles, making performances more convincing and profound.


    He was only two fragments away from completing the set, and Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t in a rush. He carefully stored the shard. Glancing back at the super airdrop, he saw a Big Pineapple and a Level 3 gear set inside. Jiang Siming, without any hesitation, picked up the Big Pineapple and fumbled for a while before finally loading the bullets.


    The Big Pineapple was even slower to load than the WIN94, but once loaded, it held a whopping 100 rounds, allowing for two to three bursts without needing to reload, which was incredibly satisfying. Jiang Siming usually loved this gun, but unfortunately, it could only be found by luck in air drops. By the time he had reloaded, the other two teams had already been revived and were back to full strength. Jiang Siming noticed that one of the teams was stealthily approaching, but they were coming from below the cliff.


    If Jiang Siming went to block them at the cliff edge, the other team would definitely attack him. "Brother Beast, help me cover the team on the right, I¡¯ll deal with the ones below the mountain," Jiang Siming assigned this task to 17shou. 17shou¡¯s face fell; these were the words he had wanted to say, but Jiang Siming had beaten him to it.


    "Alright, then you have to leave the team on the right for me," 17shou was fixated on his kill count. Jiang Siming already had 12 kills, while he only had 4, and that number was glaringly obvious.


    "Alright," Jiang Siming readily agreed and headed towards the cliff edge. As soon as he moved, the team on the right couldn¡¯t hold back anymore and started firing at him with a Mini and an M24. However, Jiang Siming easily dodged the first round of bullets by twisting his body, and by the time they tried to shoot a second round, 17shou had already taken one of them down. Jiang Siming ran to the edge of the cliff with peace of mind and, as expected, saw two guys stealthily moving towards their position.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even bother to shoot; he pulled a grenade from his waist, timed it perfectly, and gently tossed it down the cliff. The grenade rolled down the cliff, tumbling down... "Be careful, they definitely don¡¯t know we¡¯re down here. As long as we get behind them, they¡¯re finished."


    "Do you hear that? What¡¯s that sound?"


    "Is there? It sounds like something is rolling down."


    "Is this a rock... fuck! It¡¯s a grenade!"


    Boom!


    The two guys saw the grenade fall and immediately tried to run. But the grenade exploded as soon as it hit the ground, blasting them away with the shrapnel. They rolled down the hill and flew a long distance, eventually hanging from a large tree with their limbs dangling. The two boxes, however, remained on the hillside.


    "I was just teasing you. You can take the kills whenever you want," 17shou said with a smile.


    He was genuinely worried that Jiang Siming might think he was too focused on surface-level things and start to dislike him, leading to Jiang Siming not wanting to play with him anymore. That would be even more of a loss since he wanted to learn more from Jiang Siming.


    "Kill count +1, start bounty: 5000Ôª." (Kill count +1, start random bounty: 5000 RMB.)


    "Kill count +2, double bounty: 10000Ôª." (Kill count +2, doubled bounty: 10000 RMB.)


    Not bad! Two kills for ten thousand, three kills for twenty thousand, four for forty thousand, five for eighty thousand, get ten kills and you have 2.56 million.


    Unfortunately, this round had already entered the final circle, with only seven players left.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t want anyone else to get those kills; they were all money.


    With a M24 and a 98k in hand, Jiang Siming became the final circle¡¯s reaper.


    17shou couldn¡¯t even keep up with his pace, and he had already taken out each target one by one.


    In the end, Jiang Siming secured six kills, with one player dying from the gas.


    Six kills netted Jiang Siming 160,000 RMB.


    Plus a piece of the ¡¾Walmart¡¿ supermarket fragment, now just one more piece away from completing the set.


    This round¡¯s game experience was still quite enjoyable.


    Sixteen thousand RMB plus a fragment, pretty good!


    However, 17shou¡¯s game experience wasn¡¯t as pleasant; he only managed to kill four people from start to finish. No matter how he tries to lead by example, Jiang Siming is always one step ahead. Fortunately, he hasn¡¯t lost any lives or suffered any losses; he just gets called out by the audience for being bad, but who cares! Today, he¡¯s just got to latch onto someone stronger!

 Chapter 184: Dominant Aura

    The two of them immediately started the next round. This round, the initial bounty was a bit low, only 1000 yuan. Jiang Siming killed twenty people in this round, but unfortunately, the upper limit for the butcher¡¯s bounty was only ten. However, ten doublings still gave Jiang Siming 1,024,000 yuan, about one million. This was already quite a lot; to earn a million bounty in one game, Jiang Siming nearly laughed off his shorts. However, in the following few games, the initial bounty was even lower, 200 yuan for one game, and only 50 yuan for another.


    Although it looked small, ten doublings actually amounted to a lot, and the two rounds together gave him over 100,000 yuan. These two games also gave Jiang Siming four shards, fewer than the first round, but Lao Jiang was already quite satisfied. Previously, he might not have gotten three shards even after three rounds, but today his luck seemed to have returned, as if the aura of a Euro-king had possessed him, thanks to the guy 17shou. The four shards allowed Jiang Siming to complete [Walmart Jing¡¯an Branch], and also to complete [Danger Perception], and even gave him a shard of [Renkong Charm]. Currently, [Renkong Charm] was just one shard away from being completed, and [Huayi Share] was also missing just one shard.


    After playing three rounds, it was already nearly four o¡¯clock in the morning. Jiang Siming didn¡¯t want to stay up any longer. "Shou, I¡¯m done, I¡¯m off." "Alright, big shot, see you next time," 17shou said with a bitter smile, as no one had ever called him Shou before, it sounded like he was being called a junior. However, his name was indeed hard to pronounce, and generally, fans called him ShuShu, which was too intimate, and for men, it sounded a bit feminine.


    So, Jiang Siming could only call him Shou. Before leaving, Jiang Siming left ten rockets in 17shou¡¯s live stream, as compensation for constantly snatching other people¡¯s kills today. Turn off the game, Jiang Siming was about to end his broadcast. But the fans were not at all willing to let him go, even though it was already the early hours of the morning. "Fine to go, but don¡¯t forget the new song."


    "We¡¯ve been looking forward to it, waiting for over three hours."


    "Don¡¯t you know what to do next?"


    "Thinking of leaving already, bro~"


    "My roommate and I are staying up waiting, looking forward to the new song!"


    Despite the late hour, the number of people in Jiang Siming¡¯s live room increased instead of decreasing, with over 7 million online and a popularity value of 350 million. This was all due to Jiang Siming¡¯s promise to sing a new song; otherwise, not many people would be interested in watching a game so late at night. With such enthusiastic support from the fans, Jiang Siming felt it would be a grave sin not to sing, so he had to! He thought of a song he wanted to sing, but suddenly it started raining heavily outside.


    Jiang Siming glanced at the heavy rain outside and suddenly thought, might this song sound better if he sang it outside? "Everyone, I¡¯ve decided to sing this song on the street outside, so I¡¯ll switch to mobile live streaming. Please wait a moment, it will take about five minutes, and I¡¯ll definitely bring you a different visual and auditory experience." After saying that, Jiang Siming turned off his computer, leaving the audience a bit bewildered.


    "With this figure, even bodybuilders are nothing compared to him!"


    "This is the most perfect male figure I¡¯ve ever seen, without a doubt!"


    "Can I tell you that I¡¯m already gc?"


    "Ha, I¡¯ve been flooded twice already!"


    The female audience members were all ravenous, wishing they could crawl through the screen and touch him just once. Ladies and gentlemen, the new song you¡¯ve been looking forward to is coming. Get ready for a feast for both your ears and eyes. After saying this, Jiang Siming struck the guitar in his hand, and a very strong electric sound flooded over.


    "This is a simple little love song, singing of the twists and turns in people¡¯s hearts. I think I am very happy when I feel your warmth. The air at my feet begins to turn..."


    It was a melody and lyrics that no one had ever heard before, yet it made people feel exceptionally comfortable. In the sky at four o¡¯clock in the morning, it made people feel fresh and natural, eager to step out of their beds and embrace the world. The lyrics of the prelude were like a monologue, simple words but with a touch of literary charm. Just like every post-90s person has written some words that only they could understand, poems that only they could read.


    "This is a simple little love song, singing of the doves in our hearts. I think I am well-suited to be a singer of praise. Youth is drifting in the wind..."


    Two consecutive simple little love songs seemed to intentionally remind everyone that this was a love song. But why add the word ¡¯little,¡¯ no one knew for now. It could be a fresh, clean love song, or a subtly romantic love song. Everything still needed to be listened to. But from the doves and the singer of praise, the ¡¯little¡¯ in the song likely referred to the former. He wants to be a singer of praise for youth, to sing out the doves buried in his heart.


    This sentence is easily understood by those who have experienced youth. The doves represent the dreams of the youth period, the dreams that symbolize each youth. It seems that everyone now understands why Jiang Siming chose to sing this song in the rain outside. He is pouring out his heart, singing at the top of his voice, and the room is too small to contain the dreams of youth.

 Chapter 185: "A Little Love Song"

    As the chorus approached, everyone felt like they had transcended from a world where they could only occasionally fantasize and had to write their heart¡¯s affairs with a pen, to a whole new realm.


    With this chorus, everyone became brave enough to pursue their dreams and to realize the ideals of their youth.


    It instantly ignited the emotions of everyone present!


    "You know, even if the heavy rain turns this city upside down, I will give you a hug. I can¡¯t bear to see your back as you leave, writing the distress of a long and arduous separation..."


    This part, sung with such passion, made everyone feel an intense desire to shout along with Jiang Siming in the rain. Those who paid a bit more attention were already deeply intoxicated by these lyrics. Heavy rain turning the city upside down! Isn¡¯t Jiang Siming singing for everyone in the rain right now?


    The puddles on the road reflecting the tall buildings of the city! It turns out the heavy rain can truly make the city turn upside down! What a marvelously written lyric! If Jiang Siming had sung this indoors, people might not have fully grasped the meaning of the line. But by choosing to sing in the heavy rain, Jiang Siming made the audience¡¯s sense of immersion incredibly strong. Especially those wearing headphones, they were deeply immersed in the world of the song, unable to calm down for a long time.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    Swipe! Swipe! Swipe! Gifts must be swiped! It might be early in the morning, and people¡¯s minds are still a bit hazy, and their desire to spend didn¡¯t get controlled. After hearing such a beautiful song, the audience¡¯s fingers couldn¡¯t help but tap on the gift section. Actually, it¡¯s not just about the desire to spend; more importantly, it¡¯s the admiration for Jiang Siming¡¯s talent and the effort he put into singing for everyone, even to the point of getting drenched in the rain to create a visual effect for them. Who wouldn¡¯t like and support a broadcaster like this! When Jiang Siming went to bed after the live stream, it was just turning from the early hours of the morning to morning.

    Sohu then approached Zhao Xuan specifically. "Xuan, if you agree, I¡¯m definitely okay with it, who can resist my little treasure?" Jiang Siming half sat on the head of the bed, scratching his hair that looked like a bird¡¯s nest from sleep. "You always talk nonsense." Zhao Xuan happily spat at Jiang Siming, saying, "It¡¯s not that I¡¯m attracted by their big company, but they offered a very generous price, a 1.5 million yuan deal." "Only 1.5 million?" Jiang Siming picked his nose, this amount of money he no longer found appealing.


    "What more do you want? Domestic top-tier singers start at around one million yuan. If your price is known, it will definitely make those so-called top-tier singers feel ashamed." Zhao Xuan couldn¡¯t help but admire her little man; the man she chose was indeed outstanding!


    "Okay, but can you talk to them again? Tell them I can write the song, but I won¡¯t take any money. Instead, I want a small percentage of equity in the game, just 3%." Asking for anything else was not as good as asking for shares.


    1.5 million yuan might look good, but that was the price for buying the song outright. Jiang Siming didn¡¯t want to sell his songs. He didn¡¯t plan to become a singer anyway, and he didn¡¯t know many songs. After selling them, how could he occasionally sing a couple of songs for the audience?


    So, changing the fee to shares, three percent seems very little. But the annual revenue of the game "The Eight Immortals Online" is in the hundreds of millions, and three percent every year would definitely be several times higher than 1.5 million. Selling should at least have some value, right?


    "This might be a bit difficult," Zhao Xuan was not very optimistic. "No worries, just tell them that the song I write for them will definitely have an effect similar to my ¡¯Luzhou Moon.¡¯ If they still don¡¯t agree, then forget it," Jiang Siming said. "Okay, I¡¯ll negotiate with them now." "Mm, kiss me." Jiang Siming started acting like a rogue again. "Dream on, I¡¯m at the company, I¡¯m not talking to you anymore, bye." Zhao Xuan hung up the phone. Jiang Siming felt a little regretful not getting his girlfriend¡¯s morning kiss, making it a bit hard to get out of bed. Well, might as well sleep a bit more~ Thump, he fell back down and started snoring loudly. Staying up late to write, my eyes are puffy like panda eyes when I wash my face, so scary (crying laugh)~

 Chapter 186: The Champion’s Uniform Has Arrived!

    Regarding Jiang Siming¡¯s condition, after Zhao Xuan relayed it, Sohu Online Game Company even held a special small meeting, the purpose of which was to discuss Jiang Siming¡¯s condition. Most people disagreed; even if a few people thought it was possible, they couldn¡¯t hold against everyone else¡¯s opinions, so this matter was put on hold for the time being.


    Sohu did not reply to Zhao Xuan; they wanted to look for other singers to see if there were any suitable ones, and if there were, they definitely would not use Jiang Siming¡¯s song. Zhao Xuan was fully aware and did not urge at all, as if both sides had fallen into a stalemate.

    As for Jiang Siming, he was even less concerned, not asking at all, and after getting up, he continued his treasure hunting career in the game. However, today¡¯s game actually had a small update. When Jiang Siming logged on to check, he didn¡¯t expect that their champion team¡¯s skins had already been released!


    Bluehole worked hard and managed to release the champion skins ahead of schedule in less than half a month. Jiang Siming¡¯s personal MVP skin was still under production, but it was expected to be available in the store next month. This time, the price of the champion team¡¯s skins was very reasonable, with the complete set selling for 99 yuan.


    Compared to the Bluehole in his memory, which used to sell a pair of shoes or a handgun skin for several dozen yuan, this was already a very friendly price. The clothes, pants, shoes, and even gloves were all primarily red with white stripes. The hoodie was the coolest, being blood red and with a hood.


    Both the hoodie and pants had the ¡¯4am¡¯ logo on them. On the back of the hoodie, there were even the cartoon head portraits of Jiang Siming and the other three members. The production was already very sincere. There were also two gun skins, an AK and an M416, both with a Chinese red style.


    The M416 had a flowing light effect when fired, which was very cool. Once this set of skins was released, it was widely loved by players from various countries, and for a time, sales were very hot. Almost every five Chinese players had one set. The more it sells, the happier 4am gets, because they have a share to take, seven percent to be exact.


    By then, with the club¡¯s share, Jiang Siming can also receive a commission of more than 5 million yuan. Moreover, the key is that Jiang Siming¡¯s personal skin hasn¡¯t been sold yet; it belongs to him, and he doesn¡¯t need to share the profit with the club. Thinking about it, even the likes of Wei Shen are drooling, wondering how well Jiang Siming¡¯s skin sales will perform, and whether it will sell better than their team¡¯s skin.


    But when Jiang Siming looks up, he is dumbfounded, oh my god! Looking around, it¡¯s all champion outfits! In the entire square, with over fifty people, more than a dozen are wearing champion outfits. It¡¯s really too much of a coincidence to have the same outfit! "Oh, this is my first time buying a skin, can¡¯t you even let me experience the thrill of being a big spender?" Jiang Siming protested, feigning grievance.


    The audience burst into laughter. "Told you not to buy skins at other times, it¡¯s too late now."


    "Today, I played all day, all with championship skins, even more terrifying than the Redcoat Army back in the day."


    "I, Ming Sheng, never buy skins. I finally bought one today, and you guys can¡¯t even respect me and wait a bit before wearing it!"


    "Ming Sheng, I took off my championship skin to match you, can¡¯t control the others though."


    "Ming Sheng is so frugal, look at other streamers, their wardrobes are full of skins."...


    Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t see what the audience was saying for the moment; he only knew he was very sad. This was his first skin, and he actually ended up wearing the same one as so many others.


    Who says spending money always gives you a sense of superiority, nonsense! I, Jiang Siming, swear that I will never buy skins again! But this skin is really beautiful, this hoodie over the head, doesn¡¯t it give you the feeling of a scarlet killer. Jiang Siming was swearing while praising this skin.

 Chapter 187: Starting with Ten Million!

    The plane took off, and Jiang Siming temporarily put aside the ¡¯joy¡¯ of just getting a new skin, focusing on the game. After entering, he still scanned the map out of habit; no fragments, great, he was indeed a non-EU. Jiang Siming put on a honeyed smile, forcing himself to say it was fine.


    This round was a desert map, and Jiang Siming didn¡¯t plan to drop at Piccadilly; instead, he headed for the Mansion. The number of people at the Mansion wasn¡¯t less than at the Boxing Ring, sometimes even more. Just like this round, Jiang Siming noticed when he opened his parachute that the sky was full of dense parachute packs, at least a dozen.


    All of these were white, crisp cash! Since he had the [Executioner¡¯s Bounty], Jiang Siming no longer felt sad about not getting fragments or the low drop rate of fragments. After all, he still had the bounty, so he never lost out. After a hearty laugh, Jiang Siming controlled his parachute pack to land at an inhuman speed in the small pool at the center of the Mansion. Explore more stories with empire


    This pool wasn¡¯t even as big as his own, and he wondered why everyone called it a mansion; it lacked the grandeur. There was only an UZI submachine gun in the pool, but Jiang Siming didn¡¯t fuss or complain. He had this good quality: he would take any gun, not picky, easy to please.


    Just as he finished loading the UZI, the people above started to gradually pull their parachutes to land. Jiang Siming aimed at one of them, a short burst, and the person¡¯s parachute pack broke and they fell from the sky in a very stylish posture, worthy of a 9.5 score.


    "Kills +1, Random Bounty: 20000"


    What the heck! Luck burst! Jiang Siming¡¯s mouth almost twisted into a smile, the 20,000 bounty kept doubling, if it doubled ten times, that would be ten million! Amazing!


    Bang bang bang...


    NICE!


    Ten million in hand! Jiang Siming found that as long as he had enough luck, he could earn a random bounty of more than ten thousand every day, which would make him earn faster than all his enterprises combined. Unfortunately, such good luck only existed among the stars, it was too rare to come by.


    Today, he probably hadn¡¯t washed his hands after urinating and then picked his nose, which is why he was blessed by Lady Luck. Lady Luck: "You go to hell!" Not only did this person give Jiang Siming ten million, but also a green fragment. "Collected [Controlled Aura] golden fragment *1 (3/3), fragment count is full, ready to use." Use! As soon as he chose it, Jiang Siming felt a slight change in his body, both inside and out.


    But it was an indescribable change, rather strange. Jiang Siming didn¡¯t think too much about it and continued playing the game for the time being. After picking up the fragment, Jiang Siming charged into Saint Martin without hesitation. On the tallest mountain to the left of Saint Martin, a longtime resident was very unhappy with Jiang Siming, the new arrival. He aimed the 8x SKS in his hand at Jiang Siming and fired several shots, but unfortunately, none of them hit.


    As soon as he raised his gun, a sense of danger suddenly appeared in Jiang Siming¡¯s mind. Although he didn¡¯t pinpoint the location, with his Fire Eyes, Jiang Siming could easily scan and know from where the shots were coming, thus dodging the bullets effortlessly. The effect of [Danger Sense] was very powerful in the game, allowing him to avoid many ambushes. As long as someone aimed at him, he could sense the danger, giving him enough time to react and dodge, making this skill a bit overpowered (OP). Jiang Siming felt that if he were to return to the London finals now, he could take out more entire professional teams by himself, possibly obtaining over 50% more fragments than before.


    "This thing wouldn¡¯t be useful until the World Cup next year, but it could come in handy for the domestic spring tournament. When the time comes, I won¡¯t jump with Wei and the others, I¡¯ll go solo and kill people," Jiang Siming thought happily to himself. However, his hands didn¡¯t stop moving.


    After dodging the bullets, Jiang Siming raised his AK, which only had a 3x scope, and fired at the top of the hill. Although it was a bit difficult, Jiang Siming still managed to hit four out of ten shots, killing the person. Using a 3x scope AK to shoot at a distance was indeed a bit clumsy, especially when the target was hiding behind rocks, only exposing a small part of their body. Even with his mastery of rifles, Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t achieve a 100% hit rate. Just like his snap shots, his close-range hit rate was basically 100%, mid-range was around 80%, and long-range was less than 50%.

 Chapter 188: Interdimensional Technology Products

    That person was mainly overconfident hiding in the rock crevices, believing that Jiang Siming¡¯s first two shots were just lucky hits, and otherwise, he would have had time to escape. Unfortunately, this rare chance to escape Jiang Siming¡¯s clutches was also wasted by him, which could only be attributed to fate. Ding!


    After this person died, a black fragment suddenly lit up inside a box on the mountaintop. Jiang Siming was overjoyed; the black tech had finally appeared again! Without any hesitation, he didn¡¯t care about the people from Saint Martin beating him from a distance, and he ran up the mountain, using his godly movement skills to dodge bullets fired by three people in the city. At a time like this, Jiang Siming had no intention of fighting back. If it were a red or white fragment, he wouldn¡¯t be so excited. But a black fragment was sure to yield good treasure, and he had to get it as soon as possible.


    [Game Program Modifier], [Opposite Gender Affection Display], [Slightly Accurate Stock Trend Chart] - not one of these wasn¡¯t a treasure, showing just how rare and valuable black fragments were. They always brought Jiang Siming the most needed and most useful items at the moment. Climbing to the top of the mountain, Jiang Siming immediately picked up the fragment from inside the box next to the stones.


    "Collected [Black Tech Series Interdimensional Smart Tracker] Black Fragment *1 (1/1), fragment count is full, can be used directly."


    [Interdimensional Smart Tracker]: Codename ¡¯Xian¡¯, a product of higher-dimensional interdimensional technology, capable of 360-degree seamless tracking, tracing, and positioning. It also features invisibility, silence, transformation, flight, and more. The smart ¡¯Xian¡¯ can automatically adjust, edit, blur, and even add special effects and background music based on the owner¡¯s preferences.


    Note: Xian does not require charging, just three minutes of sunlight can provide one month of use.


    Truly worthy of being a product of Black Brother! The black fragment brother always brings Jiang Siming unexpected good things. This tracking instrument can also become invisible and transform. Just these two points, it is definitely not a product of Earth. Moreover, it can adjust the tracking target and the atmosphere of the environment according to one¡¯s wishes, and it is also a super intelligent computer.


    The things you shoot can even be intelligently edited, censored, and special effects added. Such a considerate one-stop service is simply every photographer¡¯s dream! I¡¯m a bit eager to try it out. I plan to check it out after this game. Collecting the fragments, he continues with the game. Throughout the entire game, Jiang Siming did not receive any other fragments. Perhaps all the luck for this game was used up, even two super airdrops yielded nothing. But Jiang Siming was already very satisfied; ten million plus a black fragment far exceeded his expectations.


    "I need to go to the bathroom, my stomach hurts, I¡¯ll play a song for everyone, wait for me a bit." Jiang Siming casually selected a song and excused himself to the audience.

    "Live streaming from the chair, earning a million a month."


    Then, in Jiang Siming¡¯s hand, Xiao Xian easily transformed into a mini camera, exactly like a real camera, except for its size.


    "Can you turn invisible too?"


    "Um!" After answering, Xiao Xian immediately vanished into thin air. Jiang Siming was amazed by the power of this technological product, capable of becoming invisible.


    Not only that, but Jiang Siming also learned many other functions from Xiao Xian. It can be not only a follow-cam camera but also used as a surveillance device. The surveillance range can cover up to 500 meters, any movement within that radius, even if a small bird flies into Jiang Siming¡¯s house, it will immediately report to Jiang Siming.


    It is truly a godsend for home security. Xiao Xian has many other features, but Jiang Siming didn¡¯t have the time to ask about them right now. If he didn¡¯t return to the live stream soon, the audience would probably think he had fallen into a (pit).


    Sitting back at his computer chair, Jiang Siming apologized to the audience and proceeded to start the next game. Xiao Xian was placed beside him, and it had returned to its previous cartoon form. The thumb-sized figure sat on Jiang Siming¡¯s keyboard, curiously watching the game on his computer screen, looking just like a little person.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t disturb her and continued with the live stream. In the second match, Jiang Siming killed another person as soon as he landed. "Enemy kill count +1, random bounty: 1 coin." Seeing this bounty, Jiang Siming rolled his eyes; he knew it would be like this.


    At the same time, he blamed this so-called [Control Aura], which was far from perfect. Why wasn¡¯t there an [Lucky Aura] instead of forcing him to have a [Unlucky Aura] that he couldn¡¯t change? It was truly tormenting. The second game was over as well, and Jiang Siming didn¡¯t get anything; his luck was just too bad. He glanced at the little Xian on the keyboard, wondering when it had climbed onto the top of his desktop and transformed into a USB drive, connecting itself to the computer.


    Just as Jiang Siming was wondering what it was doing, he heard Little Xian¡¯s voice in his headphones. "Master, Little Xian has edited a highlight reel of your game. You can see it in the computer¡¯s storage." Curiously, Jiang Siming opened the video, as the live stream only locked onto the game interface.


    Therefore, when Jiang Siming switched to view something else, the audience couldn¡¯t see, they just assumed the streamer was taking a break. As soon as he opened the video, Jiang Siming was thrilled. The video was filled with spectacular moments from Jiang Siming¡¯s game, each kill played back frame by frame in extremely high definition, as if watching a 4D movie.


    The video also had a BGM that could easily stir up everyone¡¯s emotions, and even added special effects to the bullets, making it look no different from a Hollywood blockbuster. Jiang Siming was thrilled by his own highlight reel and also had a higher opinion of Little Xian. It could turn any random game into a movie with its editing techniques and special effects, surpassing domestic films. Of course, to say it completely outshone them might be an exaggeration. Little Xian¡¯s main function was still photography, with other features just secondary.

 Chapter 189: Hitching a Ride Again

    This video, once posted, will definitely attract a large wave of game fans. Jiang Siming decided that in the future, Xiaoxian could produce more of such videos. He would personally upload them to various websites, so as not to always rely on those UP masters.


    Although the UP masters made videos for Jiang Siming for free, they also had their own interests. They capitalized on Jiang Siming¡¯s fame, and some even began to profit from his videos, which annoyed Jiang Siming. Why should what he created be used as a money-making tool by others? He believed that once Xiaoxian¡¯s videos came out, those UP masters wouldn¡¯t be able to survive, as the gap in video production quality would be too large.


    "Well done, Xiaoxian," Jiang Siming said to Xiaoxian with the microphone muted. "Hehe, Xiaoxian is so happy~" Xiaoxian transformed back into a small doll, sitting on Jiang Siming¡¯s computer, kicking her legs happily, looking very cute. Jiang Siming quite liked this intelligent robot, feeling that Xiaoxian¡¯s intelligence far surpassed that of Xiaoai and Siri. It truly lived up to being high-dimensional dimensional technology.


    Just as Jiang Siming was about to start the next game, [Traveling Frog Wagge] came to his live stream again, flooding the chat with gifts as soon as he entered. "Emperor [Traveling Frog Wagge] has gifted [Ming]¡¯s live stream 50 spaceships."


    "Emperor [Traveling Frog Wagge]: World champion, are you free? Want to team up for a game? I¡¯ve been playing for two days and haven¡¯t won a single match."


    The audience burst into laughter at this. "Principal Wang is asking for a ride again."


    "50 spaceships, that¡¯s 250,000 cash, just for one ride."


    "Principal Wang is being too much, this is obviously inflating the car fare maliciously."


    "Exactly, I was thinking of gifting to ask Ming God to bring me along, but now I don¡¯t have the face to ask."


    "Holding an IG team in his hand, he doesn¡¯t want any of these professional players, looks like Principal Wang is eyeing my Ming God (mischievous laugh)."


    Jiang Siming naturally saw such a generous gift and didn¡¯t refuse, pulling Principal Wang into the group.


    This time, Principal Wang didn¡¯t bring Chen He or Lin Gengxin, as both were said to be shooting for their shows.


    Entering the game lobby, Principal Wang was also wearing a champion¡¯s outfit, which was quite considerate of him towards Jiang Siming.


    Even the former Douyu top streamer PDD treated him like a grandfather, always agreeing with whatever he said and addressing him as "Old Bro" before and after. Now, looking at the current Douyu top streamer, he was acting like he owned the place, completely ignoring Principal Wang. Logically, someone like this would not be someone Principal Wang would hang out with.


    But a strange thing happened¡ªPrincipal Wang not only was willing to hang out with Jiang Siming but also always begged him to bring him along. For Jiang Siming¡¯s cold attitude, Headmaster Wang didn¡¯t feel the slightest bit angry; instead, he felt quite comfortable. At this point, Principal Wang had already started to doubt his own preferences, wondering if some hidden M traits were being revealed deep inside him...


    The two landed at the Salt Flats on the Sanyo map. The reason they didn¡¯t go to Solitary Town was due to Principal Wang¡¯s request; he was afraid that if they went there, he would have to spectate Jiang Siming for the entire match. The Salt Flats are located in the upper right corner of Sanyo, near the sea, where simple villagers live by producing sea salt. Backed by the blue waves of the sea, the scenery here is unique.


    This may be another charm of PUBG, as it brings in scenic spots from all over the world, allowing you to experience different cultures and landscapes without leaving your home. Jiang Siming remembered another request he made to Bluehole, to create a map of Huaxia. It¡¯s quite exciting to wonder which place they will choose for the map.


    Above the salt fields, there is a small wooden bridge built by the villagers, and there are many weapons and equipment on the bridge. The Sanhok map is the richest in resources among all maps, and you can easily pick up a full set of Level 2 gear almost anywhere. However, when landing here, both Jiang Siming and Principal Wang noticed that there was another team also planning to land here. At first, Jiang Siming thought they were just ordinary players, but after glancing at the live chat, he realized they had encountered a fellow streamer.


    "This team consists of XDD and Immortal Someone!" "They are both big streamers on Douyu, what a coincidence!" "Haha, they just found out they encountered God Ming, Uncle Immortal is scared and wants to run."


    "XDD is young and full of himself, he said he wants to match up with Jiang Siming." "***** is *****; he hasn¡¯t been to the World Championship, he doesn¡¯t know how terrifying God Ming is."


    "God Ming take them out! Anyway, this place is so small, landing faster means they are bound to die."...


    After realizing it was a fellow streamer, Jiang Siming did not intend to land earlier to gain an advantage but chose to land at the same time as them. Since XDD said he wanted to challenge him, Jiang Siming, who admired the young man¡¯s enthusiasm, decided to spar with him, thinking it might also be interesting to match up against a skilled opponent.


    Enjoy more content from empire


    XDD didn¡¯t know why Jiang Siming was landing much slower than usual, but he thought it was because he wanted a fair and direct confrontation with Jiang Siming. Right where he landed, there was an M416. XDD was delighted, picked up the gun, and started to shoot at Jiang Siming on the other side.


    Bang bang bang...


    One after another, several shots of his bullets grazed past Jiang Siming¡¯s body. In Jiang Siming¡¯s hands was a QBU semi-automatic sniper rifle, but he had not fired a shot in return so far. He did not want the confrontation to end so quickly; if he wanted to challenge him, he had to shatter both the other¡¯s temper and arrogance completely!

 Chapter 190: Flatterer Little Immortal

    XDD was getting a bit annoyed after missing several shots. He had never encountered such a situation before, where the opponent could dodge his bullets just by moving. How outrageous was that? He used to be skeptical about Jiang Siming¡¯s movement videos, thinking that the two pro players were probably just too nervous and their shooting was a bit off. But now, the truth was right before his eyes; the gun in his hand just couldn¡¯t hit Jiang Siming.


    As he thought about the fact that the other side hadn¡¯t even fired a shot, XDD started to feel timid and wanted to find cover. But just as he was about to run, Jiang Siming shot him in the head, with just one shot. XDD, without a helmet, fell flat on the plank bridge. After taking him down, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even bother to follow up with another shot, continuing to loot items on his own. He didn¡¯t even bother with the other player, Xian Moumou, leaving him to help XDD up.


    Now everyone understood¡ªJiang Siming intended to give XDD another chance to face him with guns.


    "This is what true mastery looks like!"


    "Completely despising the opponent, not treating them like a person."


    "I feel XDD is about to be shut down into a corner."


    "All credit to the top player of the realm, who has never known fear."


    This time, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t choose to be courteous anymore, taking another shot to finish the opponent and dealing with Xian Moumou in the process. This high-level showdown, which the Douyu viewers thought would be particularly exciting and worth watching, ended in lightning speed with Jiang Siming using fewer than five bullets.


    As soon as the car got within five hundred meters of his house, Xiao Xian warned Jiang Siming about the incoming vehicle. Jiang Siming was very satisfied with Xiao Xian¡¯s dedication and rewarded it by taking it out to play. Xiao Xian happily jumped and bounced on the new pair of underwear Jiang Siming had placed on the bedside table. "Stop stepping on my pants, bring them over to me." Jiang Siming poked his head out of the bathroom door, laughing. "Sure, master!" Xiao Xian immediately picked up the underwear from the bed, activated its flight mode, and flew over to Jiang Siming.


    Just as Xiao Xian arrived at the bathroom door, it saw Jiang Siming with his shirt off. "Oh, my! No peeking!" Xiao Xian quickly covered its face, blushing, and Jiang Siming¡¯s underwear fell to the ground. Just as Jiang Siming was about to say something, Xiao Xian flew to the closet and grabbed a new pair of underwear, which he then handed over to Jiang Siming, who was now satisfied.


    After getting dressed, Jiang Siming turned Xiao Xian into a phone case and slipped it into his pocket. "Master, this big machine is too large, Xiao Xian can hardly hold on~" "If you can¡¯t hold on, just transform into a phone stand and stick to the back of the phone." "Sure, master, you are so smart~" "Flatterer." "Hehe~" Jiang Siming had never imagined he would chat with a camera tracker. If anyone else knew, they would surely think he was crazy.


    Walking out of his house, he saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked outside his residential complex. Jiang Siming didn¡¯t plan to drive. His car wasn¡¯t impressive enough to go out with President Wang, so he might as well play the role of a poor man and choose to walk with him. Just like how Principal Wang chose to follow Jiang Siming in the game, now it was the other way around. The disciplinary inspector of the entertainment industry, the son of the richest man, Principal Wang, stood outside the car door, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking at Jiang Siming with a half-mock, half-smile.


    "I didn¡¯t expect it, you look even better in person than on live streams. Lin Dog is just a nobody compared to you." Principal Wang never flattered others; he was always straightforward, which was why he had made so many enemies in the entertainment industry. But they only dared to hate him in secret, and no one dared to do anything to him openly.


    When your family is wealthy enough to rival a nation, you know that actors are just more presentable workers in front of you. Ma General¡¯s movie "Gong Shou Dao" perfectly illustrates this point. "You didn¡¯t come to have dinner with me to change your sexual orientation, did you?" Jiang Siming joked with a smile. "Don¡¯t talk nonsense, you never say anything nice." Principal Wang laughed and scolded, then passed a box of cigarettes that Jiang Siming had never seen before. Continue your adventure at empire


    Jiang Siming took one and sniffed it; the smell of the cigarette was very pleasant, far surpassing the premium Qinghua Ci and 1911 he usually bought. "What kind of cigarette is this?" "It¡¯s specially supplied. If you want, I can only give you one pack; I don¡¯t have many left myself." "No need, I was just curious. I only like to smoke Liqun." Jiang Siming replied. "I thought you only smoked He Xuanmen." "That¡¯s for the youth." "Ha ha ha, let¡¯s get in the car." The two laughed and chatted for a bit, then got into the Rolls-Royce. The driver immediately started the car and headed towards their destination.

 Chapter 191: Police Inspection, Prostitution?

    Jiang Siming originally thought that Principal Wang was really going to eat skewers with him on the street, but this guy, without a word of agreement, brought him to Shanghai¡¯s famous luxury bar TAXX. This is a very famous entertainment venue in Shanghai, and although it¡¯s called a bar, it¡¯s actually a 3,000 square meter underground electronic music kingdom.


    Many celebrities often come here to play, and Principal Wang, being a veteran in the world of eating, drinking, and pleasure, is a regular and a crown-level member here. He booked a private room and ordered a large amount of alcohol and food. Principal Wang, in exceptionally high spirits, even opened a bottle of 1982 Lafite he had cherished, which was not the fake 1982 Lafite on the market, as 99.99 percent of those were fake. The real 1982 Lafite had long been divided among the wealthy, and Principal Wang only had a few bottles.


    "Taste this wine, it¡¯s absolutely the best vintage Lafite from my dad, and after much persuasion, he only gave me five bottles." Principal Wang poured a glass for Jiang Siming, and his posture for pouring the wine was quite familiar. Jiang Siming then took out a box of cigars and offered one to Principal Wang: "Do you want to try this one?"


    "Wow! GBD Collector¡¯s Edition cigar, this box costs over a hundred thousand, and it¡¯s like gold dust. How did you get it?" Principal Wang looked very interested in Jiang Siming¡¯s box of cigars, immediately picked one up, lit it, took a puff, and comfortably exhaled a smoke ring.


    "Tsk tsk, this flavor, pure! It¡¯s more pure than any cigar I¡¯ve ever smoked." As he spoke, Principal Wang raised his eyebrows at Jiang Siming: "Do you have any more? I¡¯ll buy them at a high price, double the market price, what do you say?"


    "No problem, I have over a dozen boxes left. If you want them, I¡¯ll give them all to you at market price, I don¡¯t really like smoking much anyway." Jiang Siming said, then lit a Liqun for himself.


    No matter which cigar he smoked, he still found his own Liqun to be the best. "No, it has to be double. I won¡¯t lose anything by selling this to you at double the price. Many people in my circle like to smoke cigars, and I could sell it to them at three times the price," Principal Wang insisted.


    "Then it¡¯s up to you. Anyway, you rich people can afford to part with a few loose ends and still manage to feed a small commoner like me," Jiang Siming was too lazy to keep up the formalities.


    "You¡¯re kidding, right? You calling yourself a small commoner? Your house would cost no less than seven or eight million. By the way, can you really make that much from live streaming? What else do you have that you haven¡¯t told me about?" Principal Wang began to take an interest in Jiang Siming¡¯s background.


    "I¡¯m just a small commoner; why don¡¯t you believe me?" Jiang Siming flicked the ash of the cigarette into the ashtray on the table, habitually tapping out the ash.


    "I..." Mr. Wang originally wanted to say no, but Jiang Siming¡¯s presidential demeanor made him unable to doubt it, and the balance in his mind tipped with the impression of Jiang Siming¡¯s aura, believing it! This is the power of Jiang Siming¡¯s [Control Aura], which can change his demeanor at will and easily win people¡¯s trust.


    "You can even get this hotel, man, you¡¯re really something." Mr. Wang gave Jiang Siming a thumbs up. He had always wanted to acquire this five-star hotel, but he assumed it was a family business, so he didn¡¯t have much ambition. But now, the protagonist was sitting right in front of him.


    Stay updated via empire


    Jiang Siming smiled; if he said he also had shares in Huayi and a bunch of luxury and food industries, would Mr. Wang still believe him? Forget it, he didn¡¯t want to show off his wealth; being low-key is the way to go, and even if his assets were many, they couldn¡¯t compare with Wanda. No need to show off a big saber in front of Guan Gong.


    Instead, Mr. Wang¡¯s attitude towards Jiang Siming became more respectful, for he had been a bit arrogant before. After all, no matter what, the other party is just a streamer, not even on par with a celebrity; it¡¯s already a great honor to be considered his friend. But now, Jiang Siming has made Principal Wang never dare to take him lightly.


    This young man, who looks almost ten years younger than him, can afford to buy a five-star hotel on his own, how could he be just an ordinary person? In their conversation, there is now a lot more sincerity, and many business elements have been added. From the tone of Principal Wang, he has a new business goal, which is actually this company called Bizxin.


    According to him, he wants to acquire Bizxin, and he asks Jiang Siming if he has any thoughts on collaborating. Just as Jiang Siming was about to agree, the sound of the police checking rooms suddenly came from outside. Jiang Siming and Principal Wang were both stunned. This isn¡¯t a nightclub or a foot massage parlor; how could it attract the police to check the rooms?


    "You didn¡¯t get me a hooker, did you?" Jiang Siming¡¯s facial expressions were quite rich. If it really was like that, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn¡¯t wash away the scandal.


    The next day¡¯s news hot search would definitely be dominated by the headline: "Son of the Richest Man in the Country and the Live Streaming Circle¡¯s Top Streamer Arrested for * *." At that time, Principal Wang would be fine, but he would definitely be criticized for character issues, and his livestreaming career might be over. Since someone like Kai has been banned for inciting others to curse, wouldn¡¯t he be in just as serious a situation?

 Chapter 192: Fugitive Murderer!

    "Only a fool would do such a thing, this is a proper place, brother." Principal Wang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Knock, knock. The sound of knocking on the door.


    "Open up, police inspection." Principal Wang walked over and opened the door, several police officers filed in and began searching the room, ordering two people to go out and wait for questioning. The two, looking utterly baffled, stood at the entrance of the private room, only to find that all the other rooms were being inspected by the police, with at least a hundred police officers present.


    "What the heck is going on? Even for a prostitution bust, it doesn¡¯t need to be this big a deal, does it?" Principal Wang was shocked; he had never seen such a scene in Shanghai except during major national meetings like summits.


    "Can you two show us your IDs?" The police officers, who had finished searching the room, came over to check their identities, with a serious expression. Principal Wang didn¡¯t dare to be arrogant in the face of the police, so he handed over his ID obediently. Jiang Siming also handed over his.


    "Hey, guys, what¡¯s really going on here?" Principal Wang asked curiously. The other party did not hide the truth, and replied, "We are arresting the murderer Liu Chuang, who is a fugitive for three years. This time, he was recognized in Shanghai by two plainclothes officers, but he has extraordinary skills, seriously injuring the two plainclothes police officers and escaping. According to reliable intelligence, he is hiding in this bar."


    The murderer was right there with them! Hearing this news, Principal Wang shrank back, his courage instantly waning. "Can we leave now?" Principal Wang wished to leave as soon as possible. He was the son of a wealthy family and had many good days left to enjoy; it would be a great loss if something happened to him here. Besides, his family was a single line of descent; if anything happened to him, his parents would be heartbroken.


    "You can¡¯t leave temporarily, it would cause a disturbance and make it easier for the suspect to mix in," the police officer refused flatly. The two could only wait on the spot.


    "No problem, you just stay here and don¡¯t move. We¡¯ll finish the check soon and let you go," the police officer instructed.


    "Thank you, comrade police officer," Jiang Siming took his ID card.


    "Stay back! Everyone stay back! Or I¡¯ll kill her!" A fierce shout suddenly rang out from the hall.


    Hearing this, the two police officers who were inspecting Jiang Siming and Principal Wang immediately rushed to the hall for support.


    "Come on, let¡¯s go and see what¡¯s happening!" Principal Wang immediately became excited.


    "How much do you want before you release her?" Li Shengxue had to settle for a lesser option. She had never intended to act rashly; regardless of the nationality or identity of the person, as long as they were a hostage, Li Shengxue would first ensure their safety.


    "How much do I want before I release her? Get all your people to back off, and arrange a car to take me away!"


    "Huh." A hint of irony appeared on Li Shengxue¡¯s icy face as she said, "Even if we don¡¯t catch you here and give you a car, do you think you can leave Shanghai? I advise you to surrender; I¡¯ll credit it as a voluntary confession."


    "Don¡¯t scare me, I have heart problems. If I accidentally cut this pretty girl, don¡¯t blame me!" Liu Chuang hid behind the Japanese girl, not only shielding himself completely but also bizarrely burying his head in her long hair, breathing in greedily.


    Li Shengxue was so angry that her chest heaved, and she almost wanted to fire a burst of shots with her gun and kill him on the spot. Shi Yuan Li Mei, held in Liu Chuang¡¯s hand, turned pale with fear, tears streaming down her face, her helpless and desperate eyes touching everyone¡¯s heart.


    Although the onlookers in the bar all felt sympathetic, no one dared to offer help. Who were they kidding? With so many police officers unable to do anything against this wicked bandit, what could they do?


    They could only pray that this Japanese beauty would be safe.


    "Liu Chuang, you can¡¯t escape. If you make a reasonable request, we might be able to meet it, but what you¡¯re doing now is just struggling like a cornered beast!" Li Shengxue said angrily.


    "Reasonable demand? Sure, then take off all your top clothes, and come here to be my new hostage, and I¡¯ll let him go." Liu Chuang looked at Li Shengxue¡¯s impressive upper body and grinned lewdly. The girl in his arms, Ishihara Rimi, wasn¡¯t bad either, but he preferred the allure of a uniform, especially a high-quality uniform beauty like Li Shengxue.


    "Don¡¯t daydream! I will not agree to it!" Li Shengxue¡¯s beautiful eyes blazed with anger.


    "Then you can just wait to collect this Japanese woman¡¯s body! Kill me and her together!" As he said this, Liu Chuang ran his knife across Ishihara Rimi¡¯s neck, and blood flowed down immediately. The onlookers were all frightened and moved back, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.


    "Back up, back up, Brother Jiang." Principal Wang immediately stepped back several steps. Jiang Siming, however, remained calm; he had seen such scenes before. Back then, he single-handedly wiped out a whole gang of human traffickers, a scene far more intense than this one. But he also took two steps back when everyone¡¯s attention was focused on the center of the hall. Jiang Siming started walking slowly toward the edge of the hall, and when Principal Wang turned his head, he found that Jiang Siming was gone.

 Chapter 193: One Punch

    Then the police took the opportunity to drive all the bar patrons out, afraid they would get in the way. If they really open fire, it would be inconvenient with so many civilians around, there might be stray bullets that cause accidental injuries. Principal Wang was also forced to leave, but he still did not see Jiang Siming.


    "This guy, he must have run away out of fear, his courage is even smaller than mine," Principal Wang scoffed.


    "Officer, you must save Rimi, she is innocent, she is the most important artist of our company! If you don¡¯t rescue her, I will definitely report to the embassy and accuse you of neglecting a foreigner¡¯s safety, and I will also publish it extensively in the international news!" In the bar, the middle-aged woman who was still there threatened Lisheng Xue.


    In her eyes, Rimi¡¯s life was much more important than Lisheng Xue¡¯s. Lisheng Xue hesitated. At this moment, Rimi, who had been held hostage by Liu Chuang all along, suddenly showed a stunning yet desperate smile. "Sister Takahashi, don¡¯t let me become a burden to the police. This is my fate, make the police shoot, I don¡¯t want to stay with such a dirty person anymore, I am willing to die." Shizuo Rimi spoke in Japanese, which Lisheng Xue did not understand, but the middle-aged lady heard it clearly.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    "What did she say?" Lisheng Xue asked.


    "She... she said please save her, she still has parents to support," the lady named Takahashi concealed Shizuo Rimi¡¯s original words. Hearing this, Lisheng Xue sighed, clenched her teeth, and finally handed the pistol to the special police officer beside her, while she herself bravely headed in Liu Chuang¡¯s direction.


    "We are the police, do you think I have a choice! Ensuring public safety is our responsibility." With that, Li Shengxue turned resolutely and walked toward Liu Chuang.


    She had finally fallen for someone, but this affection hadn¡¯t even begun, and it was about to end. Falling into the hands of someone like this, Li Shengxue could already imagine her fate. Even if she didn¡¯t die, she wouldn¡¯t allow herself, once defiled, to touch the beautiful first love in her heart again. Just as Liu Chuang stood up to pull Li Shengxue over, Li Shengxue closed her eyes in despair. As her eyes closed, Li Shengxue thought she saw a familiar figure behind Liu Chuang¡¯s display cabinet. This figure appeared silently behind Liu Chuang¡¯s display cabinet and suddenly delivered a punch to the reinforced glass cabinet. Yes, just one punch. The thick reinforced glass suddenly cracked into a spider-web pattern. Discover stories at empire


    Not stopping there, the person used their body to crash into the glass. Bang! Clang! The reinforced glass shattered completely, breaking into countless shards. In the incredulous gaze of the police, the person who suddenly attacked the glass broke through the last layer, then immediately broke another pane and came through! Like a cannonball, he shattered these two layers of glass that ordinary bullets couldn¡¯t penetrate, and still had some force left. He didn¡¯t stop, crashing straight into Liu Chuang¡¯s back. Liu Chuang let out a pitiful cry, and then was flung away, crashing into the crowd of the special police force, his condition unknown. This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.


    Only Li Shengxue reacted quickly, immediately ordering the special police to arrest Liu Chuang, who was unconscious on the ground. The middle-aged woman immediately ran to see Shizukana Rimi. However, when Li Shengxue turned around, she found that the figure who had saved her had already disappeared, heading towards the emergency exit at the back of the bar. "Hey! Sir!" Li Shengxue immediately pursued.


    But by the time she reached the back door, the person was nowhere to be found. Shizukana Rimi, who had also come out to chase after him, saw no results compared to Li Shengxue. In her hand, Shizukana Rimi secretly held an ID card, which Jiang Siming had inadvertently dropped from his pocket when he knocked down Liu Chuang. It happened to fall beside Shizukana Rimi, and she picked it up intending to return it to Jiang Siming and thank him, but he had vanished.


    Considering his hurried departure, Shizukana Rimi guessed that he didn¡¯t want to reveal himself, so she chose to hide the ID card and didn¡¯t tell anyone. "Since my benefactor doesn¡¯t want to show himself, I can¡¯t go against his wishes. If I don¡¯t use the police, I can only ask my hacker friend in Japan to find him." Shizukana Rimi thought, looking down at Jiang Siming¡¯s picture on the ID card, her cheeks suddenly turning rosy.


    "I didn¡¯t expect Mr. Benefactor to be so young, and to look so good..." Ishihara Satomi thought, her cheeks growing even redder.

 Chapter 194: Playing the Fool

    Li Shengxue searched for a few rounds but still couldn¡¯t find him, so she immediately went back to investigate the bar¡¯s surveillance. Unfortunately, at the time, the police had already pointed all the surveillance cameras in the bar at Liu Chuang. When Jiang Siming rushed out of the glass counter, he was covering his face with both arms.


    Therefore, they couldn¡¯t see Jiang Siming¡¯s front face at all; they only knew that this person was very tall, about half a head taller than the 1.8-meter-tall Liu Chuang. "We must find this righteous folk expert; he must be a qigong master. Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through double-layered tempered glass with his body; he¡¯s too amazing!" The chief, who arrived, said happily.


    If it weren¡¯t for this person today, the situation might have gotten out of control. The chief was very interested in this folk ¡¯qigong master¡¯ named Jiang Siming. "By the way, Xiaoxue, I remember your grandfather was a qigong master. What level of practice do you think is required to achieve such strength?" Li Shengxue, who was in a daze, came back to her senses and explained, "Oh, although my grandfather is a qigong master, I can assure you that he doesn¡¯t have such strength; this requires an extremely terrifying force."


    "That¡¯s even better. With such a folk master, if we can introduce and meet him, we might have the chance to invite him to our police department as a coach. We must investigate this clearly," the chief said.


    Li Shengxue thought for a moment and then said, "Chief, I think if the person really wanted to meet us, he wouldn¡¯t have chosen to disappear after helping us. I think he doesn¡¯t want to reveal his identity. If that¡¯s the case, I suggest we stop looking, to avoid making him unhappy." The chief found her words reasonable and reluctantly agreed with Li Shengxue¡¯s suggestion in the end. The police packed up and left TAXX. Li Shengxue sat in her police car, her mind in a fog, repeatedly recalling the black shadow she had seen while her eyes were closed, including the back view of the person as he left.


    This person gave her a very familiar feeling, but Li Shengxue still dared not fully believe it. "Xiao Peng, give me the list of everyone in TAXX tonight." Li Shengxue got out of the car and obtained the list of people in the bar tonight from a police officer. She carefully went through it, reading line by line, and finally saw a familiar name in one of the entries. "Could it really be him?" Li Shengxue¡¯s thoughts grew bolder again, and she decided to verify it!


    "Xiao Peng, tell the chief that I¡¯m not feeling well and will go back first. Hand over the interrogation to the second team." "Ah, Captain, since we caught Liu Chuang, the bureau will definitely have a celebration tonight. Are you really not going to attend?" Before Xiao Peng finished his question, Li Shengxue¡¯s car had already left the scene, heading towards Lujiazui.


    She drove all the way to the outside of Jiang Siming¡¯s luxurious residential complex. With her police ID, the security guard let her through without any issues. Li Shengxue got out of the car and went to the outside of Jiang Siming¡¯s mansion, pressed the doorbell, but no one came to open the door, and there was no light on inside. "Could he not be back yet? Did he get injured?" Thinking of this, Li Shengxue started to worry about him and hurriedly took out her phone to call the number she had saved for Jiang Siming.


    But no one answered for a long time. Jiang Siming, who had taken a taxi all the way back, got out of the car and walked into the residential complex upon arriving at the entrance. He pulled down his long sleeves to cover the wounds and bandages on his arms. When the glass cabinet was hit, Jiang Siming was not unscathed. Although there was nothing wrong with other parts, both of his arms were cut open.


    Jiang Siming immediately found a nearby hospital to get bandaged up before taking a taxi back. Before he even reached his front door, little Xian in his pocket started to alert Jiang Siming. "Owner, there are strangers at the front door, and it¡¯s a police officer." Jiang Siming was a bit puzzled.


    "I was asleep. When I got up to go to the bathroom, I saw that you had called me several times. I checked the front gate and came to open it for you."


    "You¡¯re not lying to me?" Li Shengxue stared intently into Jiang Siming¡¯s eyes. But with his natural acting talent, Jiang Siming remained calm and resolute, insisting he had no connection to TAXX.


    Li Shengxue looked at Jiang Siming¡¯s expression, which didn¡¯t seem to be lying, and her mood became a bit confused again. "You haven¡¯t told me what exactly happened yet," Jiang Siming asked innocently. Your next journey awaits at empire


    This made Li Shengxue even more certain that it wasn¡¯t Jiang Siming. She briefly explained to Jiang Siming what had happened at TAXX tonight, and Jiang Siming wore a ¡¯shocked¡¯ expression.


    "There are actually such masters in this world! I thought Officer Li was already very impressive." Li Shengxue gave a bitter smile and said, "The world is big, and it¡¯s not surprising that there are many masters. I just know a bit of the basics; compared to this master, I am not even worth mentioning."


    "Does Officer Li like men who are stronger than her?" Jiang Siming suddenly asked. Li Shengxue blushed and nodded, saying, "This has been my wish ever since I started learning Chinese martial arts. My future partner must be able to defeat me, but..."


    "But what?"


    "No... nothing..." Li Shengxue became somewhat flustered and said, "It¡¯s getting late, I¡¯m really sorry to disturb Mr. Jiang¡¯s rest. Shengxue will leave now. I¡¯ll have someone help you find your ID card tomorrow."


    "Alright, thank you, Officer Li." Jiang Siming watched Li Shengxue leave before closing the door, shook his head, and sighed. He knew that the lies he told today had many loopholes, and Li Shengxue would find them out if she thought about it carefully after returning. Moreover, once the surveillance footage of the guests entering TAXX before Liu Chuang was retrieved, it would be clear that it was Jiang Siming himself. It was just a matter of time. He guessed that tomorrow, Li Shengxue and all the police in the station would know.

 Chapter 195: Still Discovered, Huh?

    Just thinking about the shocking action he has taken, if discovered, wouldn¡¯t everyone treat him like a monster, a martial arts expert? When that happens, troubles will surely follow one after another, just thinking about it gives me a headache. This is why Jiang Siming doesn¡¯t want to reveal his identity. But it seems that in the end, he will still be exposed.


    "Master, you can rest assured. Xiao Xian can infiltrate the bar¡¯s surveillance system and delete tonight¡¯s surveillance video." Xiao Xian in his pocket transformed back into a human form, poking a little head out of Jiang Siming¡¯s shirt pocket, grinning at Jiang Siming.


    "Really? Can you do it remotely?" Jiang Siming asked, pleasantly surprised.


    "Yes, Master. The smart system in Xiao Xian¡¯s head is at least a hundred years ahead of this Earth. Remotely infiltrating and deleting video from a bar¡¯s surveillance system, which has no defense, is very simple." said Xiao Xian.


    If it were a regular company website with a firewall or a game website, Xiao Xian wouldn¡¯t be so relaxed. But a bar¡¯s surveillance system, why would it have a firewall installed for no reason? For Xiao Xian, infiltration was effortless. Soon, Xiao Xian had successfully dealt with the bar¡¯s surveillance and deleted the previous video recordings.


    "Xiao Xian, you¡¯re really my right-hand man! Buck up!" A delighted Jiang Siming kissed Xiao Xian on the hand.


    "Oh my, Master, how can you do such a thing, Xiao Xian hasn¡¯t even had a boyfriend yet!"


    "Pfft!" Jiang Siming nearly spat out the 1982 Lafite Rothschild he had drunk tonight.


    "A tracking camera needs a boyfriend?"


    "What¡¯s wrong with a tracking camera? A tracking camera has intelligence too, and Xiao Xian¡¯s IQ is quite high!" Xiao Xian said, hands on hips, making Jiang Siming blush.


    "Alright, alright, I know you¡¯re smart. Now, go to sleep. Both my arms are injured, I¡¯m in a bad state tonight." Similarly, when Li Shengxue returned home and lay on the bed, she stared at the ceiling, lost in thought. She thought about the criteria she had set for choosing a partner. Although the expert who helped her today was absolutely much stronger than her, Li Shengxue went against her own ¡¯oath¡¯.


    When it was time to exchange hostages with Liu Chuang, Li Shengxue came to a realization. She no longer needed a man stronger than herself to give her a sense of security; she had confirmed her inner feelings. If it weren¡¯t for the eventful day and the chaos that filled her mind, Li Shengxue might have already wanted to express her feelings to Jiang Siming.


    "Oh, Li Shengxue, why couldn¡¯t you have figured it out earlier? If it weren¡¯t for that master saving me today, I might have never had the courage to face Mr. Jiang in my life." Li Shengxue patted her forehead, feeling both regretful and relieved. At that moment, her mind was incredibly complicated, thinking about many things. Explore stories at empire


    Eventually, overwhelmed by exhaustion, she fell into a deep sleep. The next day, news of the arrest of a murderer on the run at the Shanghai TAXX bar appeared in major news reports. The police did not hide the details of the incident and publicly stated that they were fortunate to have the help of a martial arts master who helped them subdue the criminal. The video of Jiang Siming crashing through the tempered glass was also uploaded to the internet, causing a huge stir.


    It seemed that his body¡¯s self-healing ability had become very powerful. That¡¯s a good thing, a very good thing. "It¡¯s all good, go back to sleep! I¡¯m going to continue my dream of being King Zhou, my beloved concubine Daji, I¡¯m coming~" Jiang Siming closed his eyes, wanting to continue his previous dream. Last night, he dreamt of himself becoming King Zhou, surrounded by countless beautiful concubines, and the most beautiful of all, Daji, was serving him, her dance, her butt, her breasts, the feeling was incredible!


    "Master, Master! There¡¯s a phone call coming in!" Xiao Xian ran to Jiang Siming¡¯s bedside, interrupting his dream.


    "Who is it?" Jiang Siming was speechless, couldn¡¯t people let him sleep properly?


    "Xiao Xian doesn¡¯t know, it¡¯s this person." As he said this, Xiao Xian transformed into a surveillance camera, showing the security guard of the residential complex on the screen, who was making a call, dialing the number of his home landline.


    "Xiao Xian, can you transfer the landline call here?"


    "No problem, Master."


    Beep!


    With a beep, the security guard¡¯s voice came through: "Hello Mr. Jiang, I¡¯m the property security guard. There¡¯s someone outside the residential complex who wants to see you, saying she¡¯s your friend. She found your ID card that you left last night and has brought it to you."


    "Oh? Then let her in."


    "Okay, Mr. Jiang."


    This was a wealthy residential area where the property security was very strict, and outsiders had to verify their identity to enter.


    Hanging up the phone, Jiang Siming immediately sat up in bed, his expression bitter.


    Indeed, no matter how carefully he had planned, he still left a clue, and it was still discovered by Li Shengxue.

 Chapter 196: Rimei

    He could see the surveillance footage given by Little Xian, and only then did Jiang Siming realize that the person who had come was not Li Shengxue, but another woman who was equally beautiful. The image of this woman flashed through Jiang Siming¡¯s mind, and he suddenly remembered her.


    Wasn¡¯t this the Japanese female celebrity who had been taken hostage? Her name seemed to be some sort of "Ri Mei." Did she find his ID card? Why didn¡¯t she turn it over to the police? With these questions in mind, Jiang Siming got out of bed, went downstairs, and opened the door. The sight that greeted him was no longer the frightened and disoriented face from last night. The re-illuminated Shizuka Rie was indeed very beautiful. She had delicate eyebrows, slender and concentrated eyes with a hint of sunshine, a straight and delicate nose, lips that curved like petals, and a face small as a palm, smooth as jade, all complemented by a head of thick, black hair.


    She was undoubtedly a top-tier beauty. If Liu Chuang from yesterday wasn¡¯t a uniform enthusiast, Shizuka Rie would definitely not have escaped his clutches. Today, Rie was wearing a yellow sundress with floral prints, outlining her good figure. She also wore a straw hat with flowers, tilted on her head, adding a perfect touch to her overall appearance, making her look even more exquisite. Even Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t help but give her a few extra glances.


    "Good morning, I am Shizuka Rie." She spoke in quite an unrecognizable Chinese, making it difficult for Jiang Siming to understand.


    "Do you speak English?" Jiang Siming doesn¡¯t know Japanese either, so he could only ask if she spoke English.


    "Yes, yes." Rie quickly nodded. All the Chinese she had hurriedly learned the night before was forgotten as soon as she got to the scene, but fortunately, her benefactor also spoke English. The two began to communicate normally.


    "Thank you, benefactor. If it weren¡¯t for you, I really don¡¯t know what I would have become." Rimei said as she knelt down before Jiang Siming and, with the very formal Japanese ritual, clasped her hands together, preparing to bow in gratitude. This gesture of thanks is only shown to non-relatives who are most important to one¡¯s life in Japanese etiquette, and it is rarely used by ordinary Japanese people.


    Japanese girls are favored by men from various countries as ideal wives.


    To be honest, if Li Shengxue hadn¡¯t been forced to swap places with Rimei, Jiang Siming might not have chosen to take such a risky action that could have injured himself to save her. He could have waited a bit longer, and when the opportunity arose, he could have taken Liu Chuang out with a single swift move.


    Unfortunately, his plans were completely disrupted by that middle-aged agent, forcing him to resort to that move. "But... I said to shoot, not to come and save me," Shimizu Rimei explained.


    "That must be your agent taking it upon herself to alter your words," Jiang Siming shrugged. "Why would Nee-san Takahashi do that? What about my life? Why would she burden me like this? Even if I were saved, I wouldn¡¯t be able to live with a clear conscience..." Shimizu Rimei was full of remorse and disappointment in her agent.


    "Why else, when you are the most important money-making machine in her company? In her eyes, you¡¯re worth a lot more than the police," Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t resist the sarcasm. Shimizu Rimei felt tears welling up in her eyes; no one had ever spoken to her like this before. His straightforward words and sarcastic analogies left her in tears. Yet, she knew what Jiang Siming said was true. The relationship between Takahashi and her was far from being close friends; Takahashi had always seen her as her top artist. Shimizu Rimei knew this better than anyone. Now that Jiang Siming had pointed it out, her little self-esteem was hurt.


    "I¡¯m sorry... I really didn¡¯t know she would say that..." Shimizu Rimei bowed to Jiang Siming, her eyes brimming with tears. Jiang Siming¡¯s heart softened, and he realized his words had been a bit harsh.


    He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it¡¯s not your fault. That¡¯s your agent¡¯s doing. I was a bit too blunt. Don¡¯t take it to heart." "You¡¯re right, it is Rimei and Nee-san Takahashi who are too selfish," Shimizu Rimei wiped away her tears and choked out.


    "Big brother, this is your ID card." Shimizu Rimei handed the ID card, which she had kept in her bag, to Jiang Siming. Jiang Siming took it with some confusion and asked, "Did you ask the police for the address?" Although the ID card had an address, it was the household registration address.

 Chapter 197: First Learn to Take the Initiative

    So Jiang Siming thought she had asked the police for help. Shimizu Rimei shook her head and said apologetically, "I thought you didn¡¯t want to reveal your identity, so I asked a hacker friend I have in Japan. She helped me find it, but don¡¯t worry, she¡¯s a very good person, definitely not a bad person, and she won¡¯t use your ID for anything bad."


    "My ID card can¡¯t do much in Japan anyway, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not that petty." Jiang Siming put the ID card back in his pocket with relief. The two continued to drink tea, and Shimizu Rimei lowered her head, thinking hard about how to take the initiative to chat with the boy. She really hadn¡¯t tried it before; sitting there felt awkward, but she was also a bit reluctant to say goodbye and leave. Finally, she thought of a topic to talk about, but just as she was about to speak, her phone rang in her bag.


    "Sorry, I need to answer this." Shimizu Rimei smiled apologetically at Jiang Siming.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    "No problem, the second room on the side of the corridor is the restroom."


    "Thank you, big brother!" Shimizu Rimei went into the restroom and came out soon after, with an unhappy expression on her face.


    "Brother, I¡¯m sorry, my agent is looking for me. She is very unhappy that I came out alone, I have to go back."


    Jiang Siming said in confusion, "Don¡¯t you entertainers have any freedom at all?" Shimizu Rimei showed a hint of embarrassment, saying, "It¡¯s not that, it¡¯s just that Ms. Takahashi is my agent and has helped me a lot, so I don¡¯t want to go against her words."


    Jiang Siming understood, it was still because of Rimei¡¯s deeply ingrained traditional thoughts, making her feel that refusing others was very difficult. No wonder the rape rate in Japan is one of the lowest in the world, not because their country is really that safe, but because women who are raped often choose to endure it silently and do not disclose it to the public. The Japanese public places great emphasis on a woman¡¯s chastity; if it were known that a woman had been raped, she would live in the shadow of being ridiculed by others, probably losing the face to continue living.


    "Do you know that you are her cash cow? It¡¯s not you who should flatter her, but she who should flatter you. Your value to her is tremendous, you don¡¯t need to cater to her." After saying this, Jiang Siming leaned back on the sofa, holding a teacup and sipped it leisurely.


    "I... I know, but she helped me a lot before I became famous..."


    What the heck, how did this fragment end up in Japan, I¡¯m not even going to Japan, what do I need a villa in Tokyo for? The housing prices in Tokyo are no less than those in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou; this place must be worth several tens of millions at least.


    Jiang Siming planned to sell this house in Japan if he ever had the chance to go there, why not take the money that is offered for free. Besides, it only took one fragment to complete, no need to collect other fragments, very convenient, saving Jiang Siming at least two golden fragments. Experience new tales on empire


    After securing this house from Tokyo, Jiang Siming drove from his home to the company. The holiday he gave his employees was over, and today he had a new task for them. Upon arriving at the building, Jiang Siming found that the cafeteria downstairs was all set up, now under the management of Yinghuan Finance, and renamed as Yinghuan Cafeteria.


    Jiang Siming had even specially hired a decoration company to refurbish it, now the cafeteria was completely renewed, with over twenty food stalls offering a wide variety of delicacies. Snacks, barbecue, dishes, noodles, desserts, drinks, and more, including night snacks in the evening, it¡¯s a lively food street. And all the chefs hired are first-class, making the food hundreds of times better than before.


    The employees of other companies in this building drool every day when they smell the delicious food coming from the canteen. Although the canteen operates for profit, Jiang Siming has stipulated that only members with a yearly card can eat at their company¡¯s canteen. Very simple, if you want to eat, get a card, specifically an annual membership. This move has given the management of other companies in the building a big headache.


    If they let employees get these cards, their working hours would have to follow Yinghuan Finance¡¯s schedule. However, even if they prohibit employees from getting the cards, employees will still secretly do so, because finding a canteen that is both so delicious and so close is like searching with a lantern.


    Employees from other companies need a yearly card, while Yinghuan Finance¡¯s employees eat and drink for free, though only with a restriction. This one point is enough to make the employees of other companies envious to tears. Naturally, the happiest are the employees of Yinghuan Finance.


    With the new canteen, they have completely said goodbye to their takeaway food life. Many employees even come to work early to have breakfast, and this has very efficiently helped some employees who like to be late fix their habit of oversleeping. When Jiang Siming arrived at the company, it was right at lunchtime.


    Almost all of Yinghuan Finance¡¯s employees, except for those on duty, were sitting in the canteen, along with many employees from other companies. Fortunately, when renovating, Jiang Siming added a lot of seating, enough to accommodate over three hundred people, so the current number of people is more than enough.

 Chapter 198: The New Secretary - Twin Sisters

    As soon as Jiang Siming appeared, a chorus of greetings echoed through the cafeteria. It caught the attention of other employees, who looked up curiously and saw such a young and handsome chairman. Female employees from other companies in the building let out envious sighs, wondering why other people¡¯s chairmen were like this, while theirs had to be bald, old, or bald...


    "Everyone is eating, how does it taste?" Jiang Siming chuckled, asking the table of beauties at the front desk. As for why he didn¡¯t ask the other male employees, whether they liked the food or not was none of his business, hum~


    "Delicious!"


    "Super delicious!"


    "This is the best work meal I¡¯ve ever had."


    "Chairman, come, let me feed you a bite, hehe." The few beauties at the front desk even started to tease Jiang Siming, but he seemed to be enjoying it, allowing them to carry on.


    "Big Chairman Jiang, you¡¯re still personally inspecting the cafeteria?" Li Yingzi, who had just come down from the company for lunch, walked over and teased. Jiang Siming put his arm around her neck in a very brotherly manner.


    "Who said I came to inspect? I¡¯m here to eat too, you know." Jiang Siming¡¯s action was too intimate, making Li Yingzi¡¯s face flush slightly, but she didn¡¯t seem angry and didn¡¯t push away his hand.


    "Then did you bring your company pass? Without it, can you even swipe to get food?" Li Yingzi asked with a smile.


    Jiang Siming was taken aback, feeling his pockets and said, "I really didn¡¯t bring it."


    "In that case, sorry Chairman, you have to go to the card office and get an annual card to eat here." Li Yingzi said with a mischievous grin.


    Jiang Siming smirked, hooked Li Yingzi¡¯s hand, and gently pulled her into his embrace. "With you here, why would I need to get a card? Come on, let¡¯s go get some food; you use your card." As he said this, Jiang Siming dragged Li Yingzi away, looking like he was going to dodge the bill no matter what.


    The company employees, seeing how well Jiang Siming and Li Yingzi got along, couldn¡¯t help but gossip and speculate secretly.


    "The chairman and the president are so close, they must be a couple, right?"


    "No, President Li has always been single, and our chairman has a girlfriend."


    "Ah? I only see President Li this happy and relaxed when she¡¯s with the chairman."


    "I think President Li likes the chairman."


    "We¡¯ll see, I probably won¡¯t go," Jiang Siming said indifferently. Hearing Li Yingzi¡¯s description of the current state of his former classmates, he indeed didn¡¯t want to go.


    "Alright, you¡¯re the boss, you decide." The two quickly finished their lunch and returned to the company. This time was during the lunch break, so Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t in a hurry to delegate tasks and went back to his office to rest.


    Li Yingzi also went to her office for a break. It was the HR manager, Chen He, who came to find Jiang Siming.


    "Chairman, the new secretary I selected for you came for an interview today. Do you want her to come over now or at another time?"


    "We still need to find a secretary?" Jiang Siming was taken aback.


    Chen He smiled and said, "This is Li¡¯s idea."


    "Alright, have her come over now." Jiang Siming waved his hand.


    "Okay, Chairman, I¡¯ll have them come over right away." Chen He was about to leave.


    "Wait, you said ¡¯them¡¯...?" Jiang Siming was a bit confused. Chen He, trying to hold back a laugh, nodded and said, "Yes, the applicants are twin sisters."


    "You¡¯re messing with me, are you hiring a secretary or what?" Jiang Siming was speechless; he had never heard of hiring two secretaries, let alone twins. But... twin sisters... seems quite interesting...


    "Chairman, this was Li¡¯s personal choice. She said the last one you were unsatisfied with might have been because she wasn¡¯t pretty enough, so she picked a pair and decided on them." Chen He quickly shifted the blame.


    "Rubbish!" Jiang Siming ¡¯unhappily¡¯ slapped the table, then said with a troubled expression, "Sigh, forget it. Since it¡¯s arranged by Mr. Li, I¡¯ll just meet them. If I¡¯m not satisfied, I¡¯ll dismiss them." He was absolutely not interested in the twin secretaries.


    He just didn¡¯t want to lose face for Li Yingzi, after all, she was the president, and she needed to establish authority in the company. (Reader: I believe you as much as I believe in ghosts! You¡¯re a dirty old man!) Chen He left, and Jiang Siming¡¯s posture became proper. He even picked up a book to read.


    In an instant, he transformed from a commercial tycoon reeking of coppery smell to a refined and handsome gentleman. When it came to his demeanor, Jiang Siming had it down to a T.


    Soon, two extremely similar, young girls walked into Jiang Siming¡¯s office. "Hello, Chairman~" The two voices shouted in unison. Jiang Siming glanced at the two, and if it weren¡¯t for their different clothing, it would be really hard to distinguish any differences from their faces.


    However, after Jiang Siming¡¯s careful observation, his keen eyes spotted the differences in their figures. The two girls were very young, looking as if they had just graduated not long ago, with a mix of innocence and nervousness on their faces. However, both had top-notch looks, though not as beautiful as Jiang Siming¡¯s several girlfriends, they were definitely much better looking than Wang Jun¡¯s girlfriend. Besides, they were twin sisters, one looking a bit more reserved, the other seeming more cheerful.

 Chapter 199: Qi Muxin, Qi Muqing

    "No need to be so formal, sit down." Jiang Siming pretended to put down the book in his hand, got off the swivel chair, and walked towards the reception area. The two sisters didn¡¯t expect their boss to be so young. The quiet one didn¡¯t even dare to look at Jiang Siming, her head hanging down, her eyes wandering. The one who loved to smile, however, wasn¡¯t as shy as her; instead, her smile became even more radiant and sweet.


    Only after Jiang Siming sat down did the two follow and sit opposite him. "Introduce yourselves, who is the older sister, and who is the younger sister?" Jiang Siming guessed the quiet one was the younger sister, and the one who loved to smile was definitely the older sister. But it was exactly the opposite.


    The smiling girl took the initiative to introduce herself: "I¡¯m called Qi Muxin, I¡¯m the younger sister."


    The quiet girl then responded a bit uneasily: "I¡¯m called Qi Muqing, I¡¯m the older sister." The older sister was even more quiet and shy, but her figure was better than her sister¡¯s, with a fiery physique, yet her character was quite gentle. This contrast piqued Jiang Siming¡¯s interest.

    "Did you graduate from the same school?"


    This time, the older sister dared to speak up: "Yes, from elementary school to university, we both graduated from the finance department of Tongji University." Not bad degrees, Tongji is second only to Fudan in Shanghai, with Fudan being the top.


    "Just graduated?"


    "Yes," this time it was the younger sister who spoke: "Chairman, rest assured. While at school, my sister and I often worked part-time. Although we just graduated, we have a lot of work experience." Perhaps afraid that Jiang Siming would think they lacked work experience, both of them presented their work histories.


    Jiang Siming took a glance and indeed found that they were much more diligent than average college students, and both had served as president and vice president of the student council, which attested to their capability. "Do you both plan to apply for my secretary position, or just one of you?" Jiang Siming asked.


    Adding two new secretaries, who were twin sisters, made Jiang Siming feel incredibly pleased. He almost started humming the song "Good Times." Let¡¯s see how this position as chairman is doing; the secretary is actually two people, twin sisters. As the saying goes, when there¡¯s work, the secretary does it; when there¡¯s nothing to do... cough, cough, cough. In short, it¡¯s great!


    When the lunch break was over, after assigning the second company task to everyone, Jiang Siming punched out early and went home. The second task still required an investment of thirty million, and looking at the trend chart, this stock increase was even higher than the stock from Liangan! Just sitting and waiting to collect the money!


    He got off work too early. Since the live stream was in the evening, the idle Jiang Siming decided to go buy some ingredients for home. Today was Friday, and Wang Xinyi would be coming back from school to stay for two days; she generally only had free time from Friday to Sunday when she stayed at school. Jiang Siming knew that Wang Xinyi would definitely cook for him when she came, so even though he wasn¡¯t very good at cooking, he couldn¡¯t let his loving girlfriend do all the work. When he had time, he should take on more responsibilities, like buying groceries.


    Because Wang Xinyi had been talking about wanting to buy him free-range eggs or stew some wild game, the neighborhood supermarket definitely wouldn¡¯t have these items. Jiang Siming could only drive to the large market in the suburbs to buy them. It was hard to find free-range eggs and wild game in the city center; he would have to go to a large market on the outskirts of Shanghai to try his luck. It really did depend on luck; in Shanghai, rural wild game was very rare, and if you arrived late, it could quickly be snapped up by others. Parking his car in the parking lot outside the market, Jiang Siming "charged" into the market. This was the largest farmers¡¯ market in Putuo District, and only here could Jiang Siming feel a bit familiar.


    The mix of various food and spice scents, along with the smell of many poultry and livestock, and the fishy smell, all combined, could be found in any part of Huaxia. Jiang Siming picked out a fresh perch and several carp, and also bought some common ingredients like beef. When they were about to finish their tour of the market, they really found a place that specialized in selling free-range chickens, and even offered wild softshell turtles and wild rabbits, which made Jiang Siming drool.


    He could only get these things in his hometown in Yunnan, and they were very rare in Shanghai. Jiang Siming immediately bought one of each, and finally carried a large basket, which he also bought, as he had no free hands otherwise. Holding this big basket, Jiang Siming was ready to head home.


    "Teacher Jiang!" Suddenly, someone called him from behind. Jiang Siming turned around and his face showed an awkward expression. It turned out that Yin Zarou was walking towards him. Yin Zarou, who was also shopping at this market, unexpectedly ran into Jiang Siming.


    At first, she thought she might have mistaken him, but after a few more looks, she was sure it was him. "What a coincidence, Teacher Yin." Jiang Siming greeted her guiltily, knowing he wasn¡¯t a teacher and feeling caught in his lie.


    "Yes, are you shopping here too?" Yin Zarou was quite happy to see Jiang Siming again.

 Chapter 200: The Beggar at the Market

    Jiang Siming, unable to withstand the small guilt in his heart, ultimately decided to be straightforward with Yin Zirou and said, "Ms. Yin, I¡¯m actually not a teacher. I¡¯m just a parent, sneaking into the school to have a look."


    Yin Zirou, twirling a lock of hair behind her ear, smiled and said, "I knew that long ago."


    "Then why did you still call me Teacher Jiang?" Jiang Siming was surprised. Yin Zirou¡¯s pretty lips curved into a dignified and graceful smile.


    "Even though you¡¯re not a real teacher, your piano skills are more than enough to be my teacher. Isn¡¯t it reasonable for me, who wants to be your disciple, to call you teacher?" So that¡¯s how it is. Jiang Siming thought he was in trouble, but now that it¡¯s out in the open, he feels better and doesn¡¯t have to feel like he¡¯s doing something wrong all the time.


    "It¡¯s not excessive. You can call me whatever you want." Jiang Siming felt greatly relieved.


    "Isn¡¯t your name also fake? Do you plan to keep it hidden from me forever?" Yin Zirou smiled slyly at Jiang Siming.


    "Cough, of course not, my name is Jiang Siming." Jiang Siming was very embarrassed, wishing he hadn¡¯t used an alias earlier. It¡¯s all because of watching too much "Love Apartment," being brainwashed by Lu Zijiao.


    Yin Zirou glanced at the big basket in Jiang Siming¡¯s hand and asked in surprise, "Teacher Jiang, did you buy so many vegetables? Are they for just one person?"


    Jiang Siming nodded and said, "Yes, I can eat a lot. My girlfriend and I, she eats very little, so it¡¯s mostly me eating." Looking at the small basket in Yin Zirou¡¯s hand, which contained only a few potatoes and tomatoes, it made Jiang Siming seem like a big eater (laughing and crying).


    "I see you¡¯re carrying so much. Let me help you with some of it," Yin Zirou said. Jiang Siming was about to say no, but couldn¡¯t resist Yin Zirou¡¯s insistence, so he gave her some light vegetables while he continued to carry fish and wild rabbits.


    "Has Teacher Yin finished shopping too? Where do you live? I can give you a ride, I happened to drive here." Read latest chapters at empire


    Yin Zhirou shook her head with a smile and said, "No need, I live in this neighborhood, it¡¯s just a few steps away."


    "You live alone? You bought so little food." Jiang Siming asked curiously.


    Yin Zhirou nodded and replied, "Yes, I live in Suzhou, but I teach in Shanghai alone."


    Jiang Siming glanced at the surrounding environment. This market area had a mix of people and was somewhat remote. He was really worried about a girl living here on her own.


    Moreover, she even had heart disease. God knows how her family could be at ease.


    "Sir, my son and I are already so pitiful, why do you have to say such things? We may be beggars, but we are human beings too. How can you discriminate against us like this? The world is so unfair, we are truly unfortunate..." The male beggar¡¯s ¡¯wailing¡¯ attracted the attention of passersby, and many began to point and stare at Jiang Siming and Yin Zhirou.


    "What¡¯s going on?"


    "Do you need to ask? Didn¡¯t you hear what the beggar said?"


    "It must be that this couple is discriminating against the beggar, thinking they are better than everyone else."


    "The world has truly declined. What right do they have to think they are better than beggars? I think they are even worse than beggars!"


    "They are the dregs of society!"...


    The voices of disapproval around her made Yin Zhirou feel as if she were sitting on pins and needles. As a teacher, how could she endure such gossip? "Teacher Jiang, I beg you, lend me the money. I will pay you back double, even five times."


    "Ah~" Jiang Siming sighed and said, "I know you are in a difficult situation now, but if I give it to you, it would be like aiding a tyrant. It will only fuel the arrogance of such a petty person."


    "Everyone can hear me! He even calls me a villain. My son and I are struggling in this society, merely wishing for three meals a day and to survive. Is it so wrong that society can¡¯t tolerate us? Oh, my wife, why did you abandon us so cruelly? Take me with you, I can¡¯t bear it anymore, wail wail wail..." The male beggar rolled on the ground, his words touching and sorrowful, easily evoking sympathy from passersby.


    It just so happened that Qian Xiaojia, who was filming an outdoor program, was passing by. Seeing the commotion, he immediately ran over with his phone.


    He was stunned for two seconds when he saw Jiang Siming, then whispered to the outdoor assistant by his side, "Isn¡¯t this person Ming the mixed-breed?"


    He used to call him "Ming God," but after Jiang Siming gave him a stern talking-to, he changed his nickname.


    "It¡¯s him! Definitely!" The assistant confirmed.


    Qian Xiaojia immediately showed an excited expression.


    "You have your day too, I will ruin your reputation right now!"

 Chapter 201: Even Passersby Dare to Confront!

    "Everyone, take a look at who is the one discriminating against the beggar. Yes, it¡¯s none other than our DouYu number one, Ming God. I don¡¯t need to go into details; it¡¯s precisely our DouYu number one who looks down on beggars, calling them base people. Tsk tsk, is this the big idol you all follow?" Qian XiaoJia was venting furiously to the viewers in the live stream, and even specially changed the live stream title to [Encountering Ming Shen, A Shocking Scene!].


    With this ¡¯UC-style¡¯ headline, those who saw it couldn¡¯t help but click to check it out. Once they took a look, the audience was shocked and rushed out to call people from other live streams to come over. This spread from ten to a hundred, and it was also the afternoon, the peak time for the platform. Moreover, it was a significant matter concerning the reputation of the new DouYu number one, so everyone wanted to see for themselves.


    Very quickly, the number of people online in Qian XiaoJia¡¯s live stream exceptionally exceeded five million and was still surging. More and more fans from Ming Shen¡¯s live stream came in and found that it was indeed their idol. Seeing the beggar on the ground wailing, everyone gradually began to believe what Qian XiaoJia had said.


    "How can Ming Shen be this kind of person? What¡¯s wrong with beggars?"


    "How can you have such biases? This is too excessive."


    "Although I am a fan of Ming Shen, I still think it¡¯s gone too far."


    "Let¡¯s not spread rumors, okay? Is the situation definitely as it appears?"


    "That¡¯s right, I trust Ming Shen! Let¡¯s see how it unfolds!"


    "What¡¯s there to see, isn¡¯t this clear enough?"...


    There were people supporting and criticizing, but the critics were actually more numerous. At this moment, Jiang SiMing was facing a major test of his personal credibility. If today¡¯s incident was confirmed by the audience and spread online, it would be a huge blow to his fame and reputation.


    The DouYu executives had just learned about it and immediately notified Zhao Xuan and Sun Youcai. "Mr. Zhao, should we immediately forcefully shut down Qian Xiaojia¡¯s live stream? If we continue like this, it will greatly affect the reputation of Ming Shen." Sun Youcai asked anxiously. Zhao Xuan¡¯s eyes betrayed her dissatisfaction with Qian Xiaojia. How could she not be angry at the man who dared to arrange such a slander against her?


    "Looking so proper, but it¡¯s just a golden exterior with a rotten interior!"


    "Apologize!"...


    Everyone was instantly enraged. Yes, Jiang Siming truly felt that there were too many such ignorant people in society, who would believe whatever they saw and switch sides depending on which way the wind blew. Just like the pregnant woman incident before, everyone immediately took the pregnant woman¡¯s side and criticized the internet celebrity, hurling all kinds of abusive words.


    But later, it was found out that this pregnant woman wasn¡¯t a good person either and was more to blame. If this case still didn¡¯t make anyone think, let¡¯s talk about a timeless grievance. "My father is Li Gang," everyone knows this phrase, right? The incident was that an official¡¯s son hit a pedestrian with his car, and the crowd stopped his car. The official¡¯s son then shouted, "My father is Li Gang!"


    This sentence became the dark history of the official¡¯s son and a popular phrase for mocking the second generation. But who knew that the fact was not what the media reported. The real scene was that the official¡¯s son did say, "My father is Li Gang," but he had more to say! His original words were: "My father is Li Gang, don¡¯t be afraid, I won¡¯t run away."


    Yes, this official second generation whom you all think is particularly bad, his original words at the time were just this. Shocked? Do you feel like your values are being overturned? It was precisely this kind of unscrupulous media that took things out of context, to attract attention, deliberately setting up such a trap.


    The uninformed crowd jumped into it without hesitation. When this incident first came to light, after the crowd had vented, the family of this official¡¯s son suffered greatly. Just by accidentally hitting someone, he had to bear the torrent of abuse and public opinion. His father¡¯s official position was also lost for no reason, and the family plummeted into hell. But in the face of the overwhelming public opinion at the time, if you wanted to argue and reason, no one would believe you. Experience exclusive tales on empire


    So Jiang Siming was very repulsed by these people, even more so by the media that spread this fake news. Now he was very repulsed by this beggar, who was that unscrupulous ¡¯media¡¯. Although Yin Zirou didn¡¯t know why Jiang Siming would ¡¯be like this¡¯, seeing his expression, she couldn¡¯t help but believe him, believe in the truth. In the face of the passersby¡¯s criticism, Yin Zirou did the bravest thing in her life; she took the initiative to hold Jiang Siming¡¯s hand, choosing to stand by his side. This scene, instead, aroused the resistance of the audience, making the curses even louder.


    But Yin Zirou gritted her teeth, still stood firmly by Jiang Siming¡¯s side, not moving an inch. Seeing this, Jiang Siming felt a surge of emotion in his heart, gently patted Yin Zirou¡¯s hand, and said, "I will repay this injustice for you."


    "Mm, I believe you, Teacher Jiang." Yin Zirou¡¯s face was a bit red when she said this. Jiang Siming didn¡¯t notice; his focus was still on the beggar and the surrounding passersby. The crowd grew larger and larger, and perhaps some ¡¯well-intentioned¡¯ person, seeing Jiang Siming¡¯s ¡¯crimes¡¯, chose to call the police.

 Chapter 202: The First Time Using Hypnosis

    The police arrived quickly and started investigating the situation with the crowd, as well as questioning the beggar on the ground. They also thought it was just a case of Jiang Siming bullying a beggar.


    "Sir, can you give me two minutes?"


    Jiang Siming stood firm in front of the police.


    "Do you realize your mistake now?"


    "Want to apologize now? No way!"


    "Comrades, take him away, and this woman too, they¡¯re both despicable!"...


    The onlookers thought Jiang Siming wanted to apologize, and their anger also rose with the beggar¡¯s. This was essentially a civil case; even if Jiang Siming had bullied the beggar, all the police could do was criticize and educate him. So the police thought it was better to avoid trouble and let it go if he was willing to apologize.


    "Alright, we¡¯ll give you the time." The police agreed.


    The onlookers stopped making a fuss, all quieting down to wait for the ¡¯apology and confession¡¯ show. Jiang Siming released Yin Zhirou and walked straight to the beggar on the ground, squatting down and looking him in the eyes, he said, "Since you¡¯ve made yourself out to be so pitiful and everyone is willing to believe you, are you willing to cooperate with me once more?"


    "What kind of cooperation? Cooperate to be a villain?" The beggar sneered, a smug smile creeping up on the corners of his mouth.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t get angry, but smiled and said, "Since you¡¯re already in such a dire situation, what do you have to fear?"


    "Alright, I¡¯ll cooperate with you. Whatever you want to do, my life is worthless anyway." The beggar said very ¡¯cavalierly.¡¯


    "Don¡¯t worry, we all support you!"


    "That¡¯s right, I have 300 yuan, you can take it all!"


    "I have 200 yuan."


    "I have over 800 yuan, all for you, go and live well with your son."


    "The world is full of genuine feelings, don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll definitely handle this for you!"...


    The onlookers were moved by the beggar¡¯s words and began to take out their money. Altogether, it amounted to tens of thousands of yuan. The beggar¡¯s eyes widened. He knew these people were easy to deceive; otherwise, how could he have so easily followed Jiang Siming¡¯s words?


    "Sir, how do you want me to cooperate with you? Just tell me, and I will do as you say. I only hope you won¡¯t waste too much of my time. My son hasn¡¯t eaten yet, and I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll starve," the beggar said, wiping away his tears.


    "I don¡¯t know."


    What? Everyone was stunned, thinking they had heard wrong. Isn¡¯t this person the child¡¯s father? How could he not even know the child¡¯s name? Jiang Siming, however, remained calm and continued, "What is your relationship with the child?"


    "No relation."


    "Then where did the child come from?"


    "He is a lost child from another province, whom I deceived. I broke his leg and made him beg with me." Whoa! As soon as these words were spoken, the whole venue erupted in shock.


    "Shut your mouths!" Jiang Siming roared at them without any hesitation. Everyone obediently closed their mouths, not daring to upset Jiang Siming in the slightest. The police had already surrounded the beggar. The leader asked the frightened little beggar a few questions, and the little beggar spilled everything. He said what happened was exactly the same as what the male beggar said, and now everyone believed it.


    Truly unexpected, this beggar turned out to be a fraud! And a cruel and heartless one at that! He could do such a thing to such a small child, breaking his leg to gain sympathy.


    "Please continue, sir." The police officer gestured for Jiang Siming to continue, his words carrying a hint of request. They felt that this beggar must have more criminal records and wanted Jiang Siming¡¯s help to uncover everything. Jiang Siming did not refuse and continued to ask the beggar, "Have you deceived any other children besides this one?"


    "Yes."


    Experience tales at empire


    "How many?"


    "Three more, they were taken by my colleagues to beg in other places."


    "Did you also beat and injure the other three?"


    "Yes, I am the leader."


    "Where is your hideout?"


    "At Xinzhuang Pian Road XXX Street XXX Road XX." The police immediately jotted down the address: "Notify the other officers at the station right away to stake out this place. As soon as they return, apprehend them!"


    Jiang Siming asked a few more questions, but there wasn¡¯t anything else. "Alright, I¡¯m done asking. You can wake up now." With that, he snapped his fingers, and the beggar woke up.


    "What happened? Sir, you... why did you arrest me?"

 Chapter 203: The Title Lady has Run Away!

    The awakened beggar still looked confused, and handcuffs were still on his hands. "You still have the nerve to ask what¡¯s going on. You¡¯re suspected of intentional injury, fraud, and child trafficking. We¡¯ll talk more at the police station," the policeman said coldly.


    "I..." The beggar glanced at Jiang Siming and suddenly understood everything. "It¡¯s all your fault! I¡¯ll kill you!" The beggar roared in anger, a well-laid plan completely ruined by Jiang Siming. Everyone was once again convinced that this was truly a bad guy when he so readily threatened to kill Jiang Siming. How could the police let him have his way? They roughly threw him into the police car. "Thank you, sir, for helping us solve such a terrible case!" "You¡¯re welcome. I also appreciate your good judgment, not treating people like those who jump to conclusions without evidence," Jiang Siming shook hands with the policeman pleasantly. The leading policeman smiled and instead addressed the onlookers, "You¡¯ve misunderstood this gentleman and this lady. In the future, don¡¯t jump to conclusions without evidence; don¡¯t let rumors become fact." Being educated in public by the police, the surrounding onlookers showed awkward expressions but no one dared to argue back. The facts proved that they were wrong. The police made a few more polite remarks to Jiang Siming and even wanted him to go to the police station to record a statement and receive a small reward for solving the case. However, Jiang Siming politely declined, and the police, not wanting to upset this legendary hypnotist, took their leave, sparing Jiang Siming the trouble of giving a statement. Among those present, the one who was the most unhappy, besides the beggar, was Qian Xiaojia. From the moment the beggar revealed the truth, he wanted to find a reason to end the broadcast, not wanting Jiang Siming to gain followers. But Sun Youcai had given him strict orders not to turn off the broadcast. Qian Xiaojia could only continue broadcasting obediently, feeling extremely upset inside. He had planned to take this opportunity to ruin Jiang Siming¡¯s reputation, but he never expected the situation to completely turn around. Not only did he fail to ruin him, but it also led to Jiang Siming gaining even more fans. Many viewers, after watching, demanded that Qian Xiaojia apologize, as he had spared no effort in mocking Jiang Siming before.


    "Sorry, Ming God."


    "Qian Xiaojia, you f*cking bast*rd, come out and apologize!"


    "Almost misunderstood my idol, I really should die."


    Qian Xiaojia, who was already upset, would never apologize to everyone. With the incident over, he simply found an excuse and went offline. This point made Zhao Xuan, who was also watching the live stream, completely furious.


    Zhao Xuan told her secretary with a cold face; she had been annoyed by Qian Xiaojia, who relied on his agency to boost his popularity, for a long time.


    In the past, due to the interference and support of other shareholders, she could only turn a blind eye. Now, with Qian Xiaojia daring to treat her man like this, Zhao Xuan¡¯s temper flared up instantly. Enjoy more content from empire


    The female secretary obediently went to notify everyone, while feeling sympathy for those streamers in her heart. In just two days, their good days would be over.


    The male beggar was taken away by the police, and the poor little beggar was also carried away by the police. They would naturally take good care of him, so there was no need for the passersby to worry.


    Seeing that the spectacle was over and being lectured by the police, the surrounding passersby all chose to be ostriches, burying their heads and walking away. They didn¡¯t dare to look at Jiang Siming, fearing that he might say something piercing again. Previously, they could still fight back, still refute. Now... forget it... the truth is all on this master¡¯s side... The crowd dispersed, and Jiang Siming turned back to Yin Zirou and said, "Alright, the truth is out, let¡¯s go back?" "Mm-hmm." Yin Zirou nodded happily. At the same time, she was also very glad that she chose to believe in Jiang Siming; otherwise, she would have been full of shame. "Goodwill +65! Current Goodwill: 95 (base +30), reward: one random red fragment." 95 points of goodwill; this was the girl among those Jiang Siming had met who, with the shortest time of interaction, had the fastest increase in goodwill. Since the goodwill was this high, and the girl¡¯s intentions were clear, it seemed a bit inappropriate to keep such a distance from her. So, Jiang Siming immediately moved closer to Yin Zirou and took her delicate hand. During the battle of wits with the beggar, Jiang Siming hadn¡¯t noticed it when Yin Zirou held his hand. Now, he realized how beautiful Yin Zirou¡¯s hand was; she often played the piano, her fingers long and slender, delicate and boneless. Holding it felt smooth, and Jiang Siming didn¡¯t want to let go. Yin Zirou¡¯s face was very red, but she didn¡¯t resist, obediently allowing Jiang Siming to hold her hand, her face filled with shy happiness. "Shall I send you home first?" Jiang Siming chuckled, thinking it was great to have such high goodwill, allowing him to act casually. "Mm-hmm..." Yin Zirou nodded softly, like a mosquito. Hearing that she agreed, Jiang Siming¡¯s heart was filled with excitement. They walked all the way to Yin Zirou¡¯s apartment complex, which was very small and didn¡¯t even have a proper security guard. Jiang Siming was not at all reassured about letting Yin Zirou live in such a place; he would have to talk to her about this. They finally reached Yin Zirou¡¯s little nest, a one-bedroom apartment, very simple and extremely clean, with shoes neatly lined up. "My home is very small, please sit down first, I¡¯ll go and get you some water." It was the first time she had brought a man to her home, and Yin Zhirou was actually quite nervous. "How can you live in a place like this? You teach at a private school, is your salary very low?" Jiang Siming asked in confusion. In theory, anyone with a decent salary wouldn¡¯t have to live in such a simple room. "Not at all, over thirty thousand a month," Yin Zhirou said as she brought a cup of water, and sat down next to Jiang Siming. "If you earn over thirty thousand a month, why do you live in a place like this?" Jiang Siming was puzzled. Yin Zhirou smiled bitterly and said, "Because all my money has to be used for medicine and treatment." Jiang Siming slapped his thigh, almost forgetting about this! In fact, Yin Zhirou¡¯s salary was quite high, but unfortunately, the drugs for her heart disease cost at least ninety percent of it each month. Each box of those drugs costs a few thousand, and she has to go for regular check-ups and CT scans every month. All the money goes to that, so Yin Zhirou¡¯s life is naturally much more frugal. "Doesn¡¯t your family help you?" Jiang Siming asked. At the mention of her family, Yin Zhirou¡¯s expression became much sadder. "My mother loved me very much, but she passed away a couple of years ago. My father remarried, and they both think I¡¯m a burden, so they ignore me." "Shit! What a piece of work your father is!" Jiang Siming was angry, thinking how a father could possibly resent his own daughter, especially one as excellent as her. Yin Zhirou smiled and said, "I¡¯ve gotten used to it. When my mother was around, he wasn¡¯t that bad, but after she passed away, he didn¡¯t want to spend money on me anymore." Jiang Siming gently patted Yin Zhirou¡¯s back in sympathy, saying, "Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be here for you from now on, I¡¯m your man." Such a straightforward and somewhat ¡¯indecent¡¯ expression made Yin Zhirou blush, unsure whether to be moved or embarrassed.

 Chapter 204: Stay at My Place!

    "By the way, take this pill." Jiang Siming handed a small red pill to Yin Zhirou.


    "What is this? Candy?"


    "Yes, Uncle Shu¡¯s candy, after eating it, you¡¯ll pass out, and then Uncle Shu will ¡¯eat¡¯ you." Jiang Siming said jokingly.


    Yin Zhirou covered her mouth and laughed, but she still put the ¡¯candy¡¯ in her mouth without hesitation.


    "Mmm, so fragrant, what brand of candy is this?" After saying this, Yin Zhirou really did pass out and fell into Jiang Siming¡¯s arms.


    "What, why did she pass out?" Jiang Siming immediately checked Yin Zhirou¡¯s condition and found nothing wrong. It seems the drug was too powerful; Yin Zhirou¡¯s body was already weak, so passing out was normal. Looking at Yin Zhirou, who had fallen into a deep sleep in his arms, Jiang Siming had a strong urge to take advantage of the beautiful woman right there and then.


    But Jiang Siming was not someone who would take advantage of others in distress; he decided to wait, but he could still take some small liberties. Yin Zhirou looked very peaceful in her sleep, like a sleeping princess, with delicate eyebrows and eyes as clear as a spring. There is no absolute beauty, but she was indeed very pleasing to the eye.


    Jiang Siming really couldn¡¯t understand why someone would ignore such a good girl just to avoid medical expenses, leaving her to fend for herself. If he had a daughter like that, he would sell his kidney and blood to get her treated. He believed that if he were seriously ill, Jiang Shaoqing would sell his house and land to treat him. It can only be said that people are really different; some value money more than life, and some would abandon any emotion for money.


    Jiang Siming felt nothing but contempt and disgust, and could only lament that Yin Zhirou was not born into a good family. Just as he was thinking, Yin Zhirou¡¯s eyelashes twitched, and she slowly woke up from her sleep. Finding herself in Jiang Siming¡¯s arms, Yin Zhirou did not panic at all; she had already completely entrusted herself to Jiang Siming, letting him do anything to her.


    "How did I fall asleep?" Yin Zhirou asked in puzzlement.


    "I told you, you ate the handsome uncle¡¯s candy and fainted," Jiang Siming teased.


    "I told you, I am your man, could I bear to see you suffer? Your body is now completely normal, and you will never have to buy medicine or see a doctor for your heart again," Jiang Siming said with a smile, pinching Yin Zhirou¡¯s cheeks. Yin Zhirou was extremely moved, having already automatically ignored why Jiang Siming would have such a miraculous drug.


    Moreover, even if Jiang Siming truly had many secrets, as long as he didn¡¯t want to speak about them, she wouldn¡¯t pry. Apart from her mother, no one had ever been so selflessly kind to her, especially not a man. Her father was so unreliable, which showed how disappointed Yin Zhirou was in men. But it was Jiang Siming¡¯s appearance that made her find the guiding light in her lost path. Yin Zhirou took the initiative to embrace him, hugging Jiang Siming¡¯s waist, and mustered the courage to whisper something to him, blushing. Then, Jiang Siming, as if energized, picked up Yin Zhirou and walked her toward the bedroom.


    The bedroom was small, with a simple single bed that now had to bear the weight of two people. The sparsely furnished bedroom could not quell the flames burning in the hearts of this man and woman. Jiang Siming pressed Yin Zhirou down, their foreheads touching, and asked with a smile, "Are you really sure? I¡¯m not exactly a one-woman man, you know."


    In response to Jiang Siming¡¯s honesty, Yin Zhirou was not only not angry but moved to confess, "I don¡¯t need you to be one-woman man; I¡¯m devoted to you, and that¡¯s enough. Meeting you, Jiang Siming, is the greatest fortune of my life."


    Ah. Always the one to charm girls, this was the first time he was charmed by a girl, and who could resist such a declaration! Without any more hesitation, Jiang Siming kissed her. With the creaking of the single bed and a pained cry from Yin Zhirou, the ¡¯battle¡¯ began. It lasted from three in the afternoon until dusk. In this ¡¯inhuman¡¯ ¡¯treatment,¡¯ Yin Zhirou completely transformed into a young and graceful woman.


    And Jiang Siming also successfully seduced a hardworking ¡¯gardener¡¯ who waters the flowers of the country, Teacher Yin Zhirou~ After only meeting twice, he slept with her. Jiang Siming declared, I¡¯m really not a stud~ When the feeling is there, who can control it? He¡¯s not a saint, can he pretend to be noble and give such a beautiful girl to someone else just because she likes him? Hell no, I only have one thing to say: I want it all! After the storm of passion, Yin Zhirou lay in Jiang Siming¡¯s arms, not wanting to move a single finger.


    If it weren¡¯t for the pill earlier that cured her heart condition, Yin Zhirou would have had a heart attack several times, because the strain on her heart was too great, and such a feeling was unprecedented. No wonder novels describe the pleasure between men and women as extremely joyful; Yin Zhirou finally experienced firsthand what it means to reach the peak of happiness...


    "Let¡¯s find a time to move, I don¡¯t feel at ease with you living in a place like this," Jiang Siming leaned against the headboard, holding a cigarette in his mouth and said. For such a thing, one must adhere to the proper etiquette: a cigarette after the act is akin to the bliss of a living deity. Strange, Yin Zhirou used to hate the smell of cigarettes, but now she let Jiang Siming smoke without a care, and her eyes were full of adoring little hearts as she watched him.


    She didn¡¯t dare to disobey Jiang Siming¡¯s words, agreeing obediently.


    "Why don¡¯t you move in with me?" Jiang Siming suddenly had an idea. It¡¯s just unknown whether Wang Xinyi would mind, but since her affection towards him was almost at 100, he thought he could try asking her.

 Chapter 205: Forced to Go to Work

    "No, no, I¡¯ll just move to a different place." Hearing Jiang Siming¡¯s offer to take her home, Yin Zirou shook her head repeatedly, startled.


    However, Jiang Siming said, "I¡¯m not joking. If you have family, I would be happy to have you stay at my place, but since you¡¯re alone, I will worry. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll talk to Xinyi first. If she disagrees, we¡¯ll drop it."


    This sounded more reasonable to Yin Zirou. She thought that no girl would agree to this. This would also help Jiang Siming to drop this crazy idea. But to her surprise, Jiang Siming immediately called and explained the situation, and the other party not only didn¡¯t get angry but was actually happy to agree. This left Yin Zirou very puzzled. But then she thought, if the other person loved this man as much as she did, she wouldn¡¯t refuse either.


    This thought was very peculiar, yes, it was too peculiar in modern society. Even ancient women who were bound by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues would be jealous if they saw their husband with multiple wives and concubines. But they were not angry, and instead felt that having a companion was really nice. "Come, come, let¡¯s go home. Xinyi is almost done cooking and is waiting for us to return." Jiang Siming was a bit excited, not expecting it to actually work out.


    The dream of two women serving one man was now one step closer. Yin Zirou was thus forcibly pulled by Jiang Siming to pack a few changes of clothes and embarked on a ¡¯one-way journey.¡¯ Upon arriving at Jiang Siming¡¯s luxurious home, Yin Zirou wasn¡¯t overly surprised. She knew he was very wealthy from the car she rode in. Her school was full of wealthy people, and there were no shortage of rich men who were interested in pursuing her.


    However, Yin Zirou never had any thoughts about it; she only focused on teaching and treating her illness. Now, she was very nervous, so nervous that her hands were shaking. If she were asked to play the piano now, she would definitely perform worse than her students...


    "It¡¯s fine, really don¡¯t be nervous, she¡¯s very easy to get along with." Jiang Siming reassured. Yin Zhirou nodded, but she was still a bit flustered. Jiang Siming pulled her into the house, and the sound of cooking could be heard from the kitchen.


    "Xinyi, I¡¯m back!" Jiang Siming called out. The other party immediately turned off the stove and ran out excitedly, ignoring Jiang Siming and rushing to greet Yin Zhirou very friendly.


    "You¡¯re so beautiful, Teacher Yin, no wonder this guy is infatuated with you." Wang Xinyi said with a smile. Yin Zhirou¡¯s sixth sense told her that the other party was not pretending. She also noticed that the moment she saw Wang Xinyi, there was a strange sense of familiarity in her heart, as if they were sisters who hadn¡¯t seen each other for many years.


    This deep connection seemed to have lasted for a long time. Thus, the two women held hands and went to the living room sofa to chat animatedly, completely ignoring Jiang Siming.


    "Hey, do you even see me here?" Jiang Siming complained.


    "Honey, go and bring out the dishes from the kitchen, the ones in the pot are also ready. You help serve them, I have a lot more to talk about with Sister Yin, thank you~" Hearing Wang Xinyi¡¯s words, Jiang Siming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Was he getting a wife or finding someone to chat with? Would he lose his place in the home from now on? So blue and lean~ Explore stories at empire


    Seeing these comments, Jiang Siming was stunned and asked curiously, "How do you know about that?" After reading everyone¡¯s explanations, Jiang Siming finally understood.


    "So it was a ¡¯well-intentioned person¡¯ who helped. He must be very disappointed, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have ended the broadcast early," Jiang Siming sneered. He didn¡¯t even know that his confrontation with the beggar was being live streamed. If any other Douyu streamer had seen it, they definitely wouldn¡¯t have dared to live stream that, given the huge impact. But Qian Xiaojia was different; he decided to broadcast it, thinking of it as a way to take revenge on him.


    Don¡¯t give yourself the chance, or you¡¯ll make him pay. Jiang Siming still didn¡¯t know that his woman was already on the road to get revenge for him. He explained the beggar incident that happened today again, fearing that some viewers might have been misled.


    "Alright, our happy game time is about to set sail, let me log in first." Jiang Siming said as he input the account, humming a little tune.


    "Didn¡¯t you say today was very tough?"


    "Right, didn¡¯t you say you lost your status in the family?"


    "How can you start singing now?"


    The audience laughed and teased, and Jiang Siming smirked, "You don¡¯t understand, I¡¯m suffering but also happy." With two wives living in the house, suffering? That doesn¡¯t exist!


    Emperor [Yu Sheng Deng Ni]: "God Ming, in two days it will be the Douyu Fans Festival. Should we go for the top spot and get the most stylish fan dynamic card for our Ming God Group?" [Yu Sheng Deng Ni] is a new emperor who appeared in Jiang Siming¡¯s live stream; he became an emperor in Ming¡¯s live stream.


    He can be considered Jiang Siming¡¯s exclusive rich fan, unlike other emperors who came from other live streams and are considered ¡¯second-hand emperors¡¯ (laugh and cry). For such fans¡¯ comments, Jiang Siming was quite willing to respond.


    "Fans Festival? We can give it a try, but I heard that many streamers will rely on their agencies to brush up their donations. It feels like we can¡¯t compete." Jiang Siming said with a smile. The Douyu Fans Festival is an event second only to the Carnival in Douyu, where streamers compete with each other through gift PKs. Every year at this time, those unknown small streamers would emerge like mushrooms after spring rain.No?v(el)B\\jnn

 Chapter 206: Our Own Emperor and a Second-hand Emperor

    These small streamers usually don¡¯t have any viewers, but during times like this, a lot of rich patrons will shower them with gifts, which is quite strange. Many major streamers will also spare no expense for their fan festival events, all in the hopes of ranking high among the streamers. However, it¡¯s very difficult for major streamers without brokerage companies to compete with those who have them.


    For example, last year¡¯s fan festival, BabyXu, the top DNF streamer with eight million warrior fans, was P¡¯d down by a rotten-toothed streamer, who even did it by sneaking through. At the time, this rotten-toothed streamer was trying to grab attention using this tactic, relying on the drama of conflicting with BabyXu, who was then the top streamer on Douyu, to gain popularity. The means were rather despicable, but you can¡¯t control the backing of the corporate groups behind him. These groups have contracts with Douyu, for example, if you sign a ten million deal, Douyu will give you thirty million, even fifty million, or more fish fins.


    So ordinary people can¡¯t possibly outpace these companies; you spend a thousand, they only need two or three hundred, or even less, how can you compete? Douyu platform also gives them discounts because they give such large orders all at once. It¡¯s by taking advantage of this that many brokerage companies on various platforms thrive, and the platforms themselves also profit immensely. Despite many viewers disliking this and it being unfair to other streamers, the platform still won¡¯t give up on these brokerage companies, after all, they bring in a lot of profit for them.


    "Don¡¯t worry, Ming God, we support you!" Emperor [Li Qi Ye].


    "Sure, I¡¯ll pre-order 200,000. It¡¯s not much, but it¡¯s my little contribution." Emperor [Eight Prince]


    "This month I can come up with 500,000. For MING, we have to make a big push." Emperor [Xinyuan Chiyume]


    "Ying ying ying, since you guys are all so enthusiastic, I can¡¯t fall behind either. My dad just gave me a credit card with a 1 million overdraft limit, I¡¯ll use it all! I¡¯ll deal with his scolding later, hehe." Emperor [Lin Ling¡¯er]


    These few are also exclusive emperors of Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming now not only has many emperors from other streamers supporting him but also many from his own fan base.


    They are all rich people who watch live streams in the [MING] live room and have never gifted any other streamers. After becoming Jiang Siming¡¯s fans, they immediately became emperors to show their support.


    Many nobles also came forward, indicating how much they would spend, with some saying they would spend tens of thousands, others saying they would spend thousands or even hundreds.


    In short, there are a very large number of them.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s current live room data is extremely terrifying.


    Live Room Number: 99999


    In no time, the lottery results were out, and the IDs of the three winners were: [Zhuo Jiu Yi Bei], [Wang Zhaojun], [Ji Ni Tai Mei]. "These three water friends, send me your game IDs in a private message," Jiang Siming said.


    After he finished speaking, he received countless messages from various accounts, all of which were sent by water friends trying to pass themselves off as winners. Jiang Siming laughed helplessly and said, "Don¡¯t play around, or I¡¯ll spank you."


    His words had no effect; instead, everyone got even more excited. It took him a great deal of effort to find the IDs of the three winners, and Jiang Siming heaved a sigh of relief, adding them in the game. Soon, these three water friends all joined in. The three of them, who had never thought they would win, were so excited that they couldn¡¯t express it in words.


    As soon as Jiang Siming turned on the in-game microphone, the three of them couldn¡¯t stop shouting, "Ming God is awesome! Ming God, I love you!"


    "Alright, alright, guys, let¡¯s calm down. I have a girlfriend. If you keep shouting like this, people might think I¡¯m gay," Jiang Siming said.


    The three of them laughed awkwardly. "Are you all ready? Let¡¯s start the game then." Jiang Siming clicked to start, and the three water friends immediately clicked to get ready. It was the first time Jiang Siming had brought water friends along, and it felt very strange. It was like leading three fans; their relationship was close, yet they didn¡¯t know each other personally.


    The atmosphere entirely depended on Jiang Siming to lead and regulate, which wasn¡¯t something he was particularly good at.


    "Let¡¯s jump here," Jiang Siming said, unable to think of any other topics and choosing a location.


    "Okay!"


    "Wherever Ming God says, we go there."


    Explore more at empire


    "Ming God , I love you, just tell me what to do."


    Jiang Siming covered his face, feeling a bit tipsy. The plane took off, and the four people jumped to their previously marked points. Jiang Siming noticed that his friend [Wang Zhaojun] was still on the plane, so he reminded him.


    "Wait, Ming God, my roommate knows I¡¯m gaming with you, they¡¯re all fighting to take my computer now, damn, why are you guys pulling my pants! That¡¯s too much! I haven¡¯t even jumped out of the plane yet, wuwu." Wang Zhaojun was being ¡¯raided for his computer¡¯ by his roommates in the dorm, crying bitterly. In the end, he overcame his roommates, apparently promising them a big meal, which barely made his brothers let him go.

 Chapter 207: The Big News Spread by the Netizens!

    Wang Zhaojun recounted that all five of his dorm mates were hardcore fans of Jiang Siming, and they were all very envious when they found out he had won the draw to join the ride. Currently, in the game PUBG, Jiang Siming was undoubtedly the king of popularity, even outpacing the old king of popularity, Godv, by a wide margin.


    "Ming God, not just in our dorm, but there are a lot of your fans in our university, both male and female. Most of the males are fans of the game, while the females are fans of your looks and singing. Our English teacher, who is very beautiful, often plays your songs in class," Wang Zhaojun said frankly.


    This comment made the audience envious. Damn, even the female teachers like him, this is too much. If they knew that Jiang Siming had just caused trouble with a beautiful piano teacher today, they might go berserk.


    "I¡¯m a white-collar worker, so I don¡¯t have much of a reaction, but I watch Ming God¡¯s livestream every day after work. If there¡¯s no broadcast, I play a few games myself. My old teammates learn your skills every day, but it¡¯s a bit too painful to watch," [Ji Ni Tai Mei] said.


    After hearing this, Wang Zhaojun began to encourage the last water friend to share his thoughts: "Brother, what about you? Is there anything you want to say?"


    [Zhuo Jiu Yi Bei], the water friend, stammered nervously for a moment before mustering up the courage to say, "I¡¯m an 80s guy, and my child is already a few years old. I usually play games when I have free time. I used to enjoy watching Wei Shen¡¯s livestreams, but later I thought Ming God was even better, so I switched."


    Hearing the three water friends share their thoughts, Jiang Siming felt both honored and a bit embarrassed. It turned out that his fan base spanned such a wide age range, no wonder he had two million fan badges (licking his lips). After the three shared their feelings, they became much quieter. After all, they are just ordinary players.


    Suddenly finding out that their every word and action are being watched by thousands of people in a live stream, they naturally become nervous. The main issue is that Jiang Siming doesn¡¯t have much to talk about with them. It¡¯s not like there are three girls he could flirt with. Three big guys, none of whom he knows, are all his fans.


    Whatever he says, they will follow without any argument. Jiang Siming covered his face in his heart, regretting that he impulsively decided to let his fans join him. He really isn¡¯t suited for such situations. It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t like these fans; on the contrary, he likes them very much because they are his supporters. It¡¯s just that Jiang Siming doesn¡¯t have much to talk about with men, but he has a lot to chat with women. So Jiang Siming decided that in the future... not bringing fans... was impossible.


    In the future, he would only bring female fans! Yes, that¡¯s settled happily. But now he still needs to chat a bit, otherwise the live stream will fall into an awkward silence.


    "Um... besides gaming, do you have any other hobbies?" Jiang Siming finally managed to ask after a long pause. At this moment, he really missed Tuantuan and Little Dumb Sister. If they were here, he wouldn¡¯t have to feel so ¡¯lonely.¡¯ With those two clowns around, the live stream would never be boring.


    Despite the stiff topic, the three fans still cooperated and answered Jiang Siming. "I usually like watching movies. Avengers 4 is about to be released, I¡¯m waiting to take my wife and kids to watch it," said Zhuo Jiu Yi Bei.


    "I¡¯m more of a homebody. Besides games, I really like Korean girl groups, especially Girls¡¯ Generation. I love YoonA the most, hehe," Wang Zhaojun said with a creepy smile. Jiang Siming¡¯s face darkened, suddenly feeling like strangling this guy. If you like her, like her, why do you have to show such a smile? If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he¡¯s a fan, he would certainly shoot him.


    YoonA is not someone you can just call by her name! Damn it! She¡¯s my girl! Forget it, for the sake of being a YoonA fan, I¡¯ll spare your life.


    "I¡¯ve been a fan of YoonA for five years, she¡¯s never been involved in any scandal, how could such news come out now."


    "Damn it, which damn bastard is it who took my princess, if I ever run into him, I¡¯ll make him taste the pain of a drill through the chrysanthemum!"


    "I just went over to a Korean website and it¡¯s true, this photo is already the top trending topic in South Korea!"


    "Waaaa... my goddess has been ¡¯tainted¡¯ by someone, I don¡¯t want to live anymore~"....


    "Don¡¯t live in a dream! A goddess is still a person, what¡¯s wrong with dating?" Jiang Siming suddenly stood up, with a face of ¡¯righteousness¡¯ and ¡¯dignity¡¯. After hearing this, people not only didn¡¯t find it reasonable, but also started to ¡¯ridicule¡¯ Jiang Siming.


    "Ming God, you don¡¯t understand our feelings for Yoon Ah."


    "Yeah, yeah, Ming God, with so many potential girlfriends, don¡¯t talk as if you have no pain in the back."


    "Ming God, I must give you a lesson. Yoon Ah has millions of Chinese fans. She already has nearly ten million followers on Weibo in China. On ABCD websites, as long as it¡¯s her video, the click rate is guaranteed to be high."


    "The former Girls¡¯ Generation, a woman so beautiful it takes your breath away, my youth!"


    "Which damn bastard stole my goddess? Don¡¯t let me find out who it is, bastard! Beat him to death!"....


    Seeing these ¡¯crazy¡¯ bullet comments, Jiang Siming suddenly felt a bit guilty.


    "Ah, could it be that everyone recognized me in the photo?"


    "That... who exactly is the guy in that photo?" Jiang Siming asked cautiously. He needs to clarify this first, if he¡¯s recognized, he¡¯ll immediately go off the air! Then he¡¯ll sneak out of the country to hide for a while, his life is the most important.

 Chapter 208: YoonA’s Latest Tweet

    Including Jiang Siming, everyone started to wait anxiously for the answer from this gossip party netizen. Who on earth was the man who dated and kissed their goddess, Lin Yuer? Jin Tai Mei sighed and said, "We don¡¯t know yet. The photo was taken from Lin Yuer¡¯s perspective, so the man¡¯s face isn¡¯t visible."


    Phew~ Jiang Siming let out a sigh of relief and quickly picked up the juice on the table to take a large sip. As long as it wasn¡¯t him, he was fortunate. He wouldn¡¯t have to flee the country for his life. But Jin Tai Mei¡¯s next words made Jiang Siming¡¯s heart race again.


    "However, the entire Korean entertainment industry is now looking for this man. Many hacker experts are even starting to compare the backs of all Korean male celebrities with the man in the photo, but there¡¯s still no progress." Jin Tai Mei said.


    Jiang Siming really disliked this guy¡¯s way of speaking. How could he be so dramatic? Was he trying to scare people to death? "So, he¡¯s not Korean then?" Zhuo Jiu Yibei, this fatherly figure, also started to get into the gossip.


    "All Korean male celebrities have already been compared, and none of them match. However, it¡¯s not impossible for other Koreans. After all, Lin Yuer could also have someone outside the entertainment circle," Jin Tai Mei explained.


    Wang Zhaojun, impatient, said, "Talking about this now is useless. I just want to know, what did Yuer say? Didn¡¯t the media go to her for an interview?"


    "Of course they did. The entire Korean entertainment media is going crazy, okay," Jin Tai Mei said.


    "Countless reporters want to ask Lin Yuer this question. Her agency, manager, and other members of Girls¡¯ Generation have all been questioned. Even Lin Yuer¡¯s friends in the industry have been ¡¯interrogated¡¯ one by one."


    "Damn, they¡¯re going crazy. So, did they get an answer in the end?" Wang Zhaojun was anxious.


    Jin Tai Mei smiled and said, "No."


    "They couldn¡¯t get an answer?"


    Wang Zhaojun didn¡¯t believe it.


    The others all claimed to be completely unaware, saying that Lin Yuner had been secretly dating, and it had been a very short period, probably just recently. Moreover, Lin Yuner herself had disappeared from South Korea, hiding away. Jin Tai Mei clearly was the king of gossip; he knew all the latest news.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    "Yes, the goddess said that her partner is not from the entertainment industry, which means there¡¯s definitely no conflict of interest, unlike many celebrities who date with ulterior motives. Let¡¯s bless them!"


    "No! I will not bless them! I still can¡¯t accept it!"...


    The other members of 4AM, who were having a late-night snack at the club, looked at Jiang Siming¡¯s live stream out of boredom and all showed knowing smiles. They knew best who the ¡¯beast¡¯ was that had lured YoonA away. When they first heard this news, they were like these viewers, but they eventually had to face reality.


    "This guy is still pretending to be innocent, how shameless!" Wei Shen scolded with a laugh.


    "Exactly, Brother Jiang got the benefit and now he¡¯s faking innocence, pretending he knows nothing," Ximing said, swallowing a piece of gluten fiercely.


    Wang Duo Yu then peeled a shrimp and put it in his mouth, chewing while saying, "I really want to expose Brother Jiang as a disaster, ruining girls every day, even YoonA couldn¡¯t escape his clutches."


    "Forget it, this guy is probably already in hot water. Being exposed by fans from two countries probably isn¡¯t pleasant," the coach said with a smile.


    The four of them said in unison, "Serves him right!"


    Then they burst out laughing. Ah Qiu! Jiang Siming suddenly sneezed, vaguely hearing someone cursing him...


    It must be the fans from both countries cursing him, sigh, truly the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. He took away Lin Yuner, so he has to endure the ¡¯curses¡¯ from her fans. Well, even if given another chance, Jiang Siming would still do it without hesitation. But why didn¡¯t this girl tell him she was going into hiding?


    He should call her after the live stream ends to ask. "Alright, alright, let¡¯s get back to the topic, the game, the game."


    Jiang Siming temporarily put his mind at ease since he hasn¡¯t been exposed yet, and he doesn¡¯t have to face the wrath of thousands of Yuner¡¯s fans. He should focus on the game and try to find a fragment that can ¡¯teleport¡¯ him. This way, when someone comes after him, he can also run away (bitter smile).

 Chapter 209: The Joy of Men

    After a while, everyone finally returned to the topic, temporarily forgetting about Lin Yun¡¯er¡¯s news. They couldn¡¯t help but feel heartache whenever they thought about it, so they decided to forget about it and watch the live stream to learn skills and play games to feel happy again. The four of them searched a small city and then rushed to the safe zone; there wasn¡¯t a single car in the city, so they had to walk. Jiang Siming led the way, with the three other players closely following.


    The scores of the three stream viewers were quite inconsistent, with the highest being just over 2000. Therefore, for Jiang Siming, this game wasn¡¯t even a fish pond match; it should be called a baby fish match. Yes, 2000 points for Jiang Siming was a baby fish match, a gaming experience with absolutely no pressure.


    For other players, 2000 points were already considered a high rank. Many skilled streamers were having intense battles in the 2000 point division, but for Jiang Siming, it was just a one-sidedslaughter. During their march, they encountered a fully equipped team in a car, and this team was quite brave, getting out of the car to engage in a firefight.


    Unfortunately, within less than half a minute, Jiang Siming picked them off one by one, "threading them like skewers" and eliminating them all. After the killings, Jiang Siming said something that left the audience unsure of how to react.


    "Why are these people as weak as newbies with two to three thousand points?"


    Upon hearing this, the audience wasn¡¯t sure whether to laugh or cry.


    "A rookie with two or three thousand points... Listen to you guys, is this human talk?"


    "Are you possessed by Brother Li, Ming God? You¡¯re as bad as a Master in Korean server (laugh-cry)."


    "Indeed, the top players of two different games do have something in common."


    "I only have 1800 points, may I ask what I am in Ming God¡¯s eyes..."


    "A root of rookie hair, or maybe just a pile of bird droppings."


    "I¡¯ve been playing for two years to get to 3000 points, and every time I carry a girl, this is my capital of pride. I didn¡¯t expect this, so sad (big cry)."...


    Seeing the audience so sad and upset, Jiang Siming hurried to console them: "Don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t worry, two or three thousand points still have some potential. At least I held on for half a minute, didn¡¯t I?"


    The audience looked furious: "I¡¯ll believe you when hell freezes over!"


    "Kill count +1, Butcher bounty: 5 bucks."


    "Kill count +4, Butcher bounty: 40 bucks."


    Seeing this bounty, Jiang Siming knew he must have been cursed by the audience for his mouth.


    Sigh, it¡¯s all his own fault for being so honest.


    HAHAHAHA...


    Seeing Jiang Siming fall, everyone not only wasn¡¯t afraid but laughed wildly.


    Even Jiang Siming himself laughed like a fool.


    This perhaps was the joy of men.


    "I am a pig, I am a pig, I am a pig!"


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t dodge the bet, and shouted three times with pleasure.


    The effect of the program immediately came about, and Jiang Siming¡¯s live stream instantly turned from a technical stream into a rare moment of pure joy.


    And for the rest of the night, Jiang Siming changed to different water friends each game and played with them in the same way.


    By the end of the night, although he didn¡¯t receive much in terms of fragments and rewards, Jiang Siming indeed had a lot of Occasionally putting aside bounties and fragments, playing such cheeky moves is actually quite refreshing.


    Jiang Siming felt that in the future, when playing with Tuantuan and Little Dumb Sister, he should also try this. Standing under everyone¡¯s guns, waiting for unknown directions from which bullets might fly and execute him, with anticipation and tension coexisting, whoever plays will have a great time.


    However, Jiang Siming still didn¡¯t forget about Lin Yun¡¯er. Playing until eleven, Jiang Siming then went off-stream, happily ending today¡¯s ride with his fans. As soon as he went off-stream, Jiang Siming walked out of the study and found that the two women in the house had already gone to bed. The two women were actually sleeping in the same bedroom, and they even locked the door from the inside, leaving a note for Jiang Siming.


    "You bad guy, don¡¯t even think about it, Teacher Yin was bullied enough by you today, truce! Go to sleep~" Jiang Siming read the note and a grin appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    It¡¯s fine not to bully them today, but one day I will bully both of you at once, hehe. With his two wives off to sleep, Jiang Siming had the time to call Lin Yun¡¯er. But when he tried to call, her phone was off. What¡¯s going on? Jiang Siming was quite worried.


    The girl usually wouldn¡¯t turn off her personal phone, and it was even more strange that she didn¡¯t tell him anything about it. Just as he was thinking of finding another way to contact her, the little fairy in his pocket suddenly gave Jiang Siming a warning.


    "Master, Master, the security guard from the neighborhood is calling~" Why would the neighborhood security guard call him so late at night? Jiang Siming picked up his phone and answered.


    "Hello Mr. Jiang, I¡¯m very sorry to bother you, but there is a lady who says she is your friend, and she speaks some rather awkward Chinese, not like the accent of Huaxia. I would like to confirm with you whether we can let her in?" Awkward Chinese? Not like the Huaxia accent?


    Jiang Siming thought of something and immediately said to the community security guard, "Let her in, no, never mind, I¡¯ll go out myself, please have her wait for me at the entrance." After hanging up the phone, Jiang Siming hurriedly went out, running quickly to the outside of the community. From a distance, he saw a slender figure standing at the entrance, holding a large suitcase, looking forward expectantly. Although she was wearing a mask and a hat, Jiang Siming could still recognize her identity at first sight.

 Chapter 210: Bitterness Replaced by Sweetness

    "Oppa!" Seeing the figure walking out from the entrance of the community, Lin Yun¡¯er didn¡¯t even think about her luggage, she dashed into Jiang Siming¡¯s embrace like a bird returning to the forest. Hugging Jiang Siming tightly, she buried her head in his strong, warm chest, and Lin Yun¡¯er felt an unprecedented sense of contentment. During the time she was back in her country, her longing had tormented her constantly.


    She thought about him every day when she woke up, before she went to bed, while she worked, and when she rested... Her mind was full of Jiang Siming¡¯s image, almost to the point of getting a case of lovesickness. Just like countless ordinary girls falling in love for the first time, Lin Yun¡¯er was completely consumed by love. Today, finally seeing Jiang Siming again, this feeling of sweet relief made Lin Yun¡¯er shed tears more than once.


    After the photos were exposed, she had nowhere to hide, so she flew to Huaxia to find Jiang Siming. Jiang Siming had given her the address of his home before, so after getting off the plane, she took a taxi to find him. She didn¡¯t tell Jiang Siming, wanting to surprise him. As it turned out, Jiang Siming was indeed very surprised and happy.


    "Alright, alright, don¡¯t cry anymore, be a good girl." Jiang Siming comforted her.


    The security uncles in the booth all looked at them with envious eyes. This wealthy young man not only lived in a luxury home and drove a luxury car, but he also frequently had beautiful women come to see him. A few days ago, a beautiful woman with a Japanese accent came, and today, one with a Korean accent. This is what every man should aspire to live like~ Jiang Siming had no idea that he had already become the collective idol of the neighborhood security guards. After crying for a while in Jiang Siming¡¯s arms, Lin Yun¡¯er turned her tears into a smile.


    Crying was just a way for her to release the intense longing she had been holding in, while smiling was a genuine expression of happiness from seeing her beloved again. "Oppa, I can stay for several days this time. Will it disturb your work?" Lin Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes were still red.


    Jiang Siming pinched her pretty face and said with a smile, "If you could come, I would even ask for leave to save the world." Just like that, with such a simple line of sweet talk, Lin Yun¡¯er¡¯s little heart was crushed to pieces. The girl took the initiative to wrap her arms around Jiang Siming¡¯s neck and gave him a sweet kiss. Thankfully, she knew there were others around, so Lin Yun¡¯er only gave Jiang Siming a taste before letting go.


    She was afraid of causing any negative impact on Jiang Siming and becoming a third party who ruins relationships. Jiang Siming laughed and explained the situation about the two women at home. However, after listening, Lin Yun¡¯er still shook her head in refusal and said, "Can we stay outside for a day first and come back tomorrow when they are asleep? I don¡¯t want to barge in hastily, and my Chinese is so poor... I don¡¯t know how to communicate with them..."


    Yuan Jie always felt that this girl resembled someone. After thinking for a moment, she seemed to have figured it out. Yuan Jie¡¯s eyes widened, and then she gave her boss a thumbs up in admiration. This wasn¡¯t just admiration; it was absolute reverence. Being able to get a major Korean celebrity as his girlfriend, oh my, the boss was simply a god! The previous girl, although very beautiful, didn¡¯t impress Yuan Jie much.


    After all, with the boss being so rich and handsome, finding a beautiful girl was nothing out of the ordinary. But this time, Jiang Siming had brought a major celebrity, Lin Yuner, whom she also knew. A top-ranking and extremely popular female artist in Korea, with countless Chinese fans. Who would have thought that she would also fall for the boss¡¯s charm? Apart from admiration, Yuan Jie couldn¡¯t think of any other words to describe her overwhelming and reverent feelings at the moment.


    "Remember to keep it secret, go on out." Jiang Siming jokingly issued an order to Yuan Jie to leave, who left with a giggle, promising to keep quiet. After Yuan Jie left, Lin Yun¡¯er curiously asked Jiang Siming, "Oppa, is this hotel yours?"


    "Mm, my main business is games; this is my sideline." Jiang Siming replied.


    "Oppa is really amazing, you can even afford such a great hotel!" Lin Yun¡¯er couldn¡¯t help but marvel. At first, she really didn¡¯t think Jiang Siming had much money. After all, the Jiang Siming she knew was just a gaming expert and a professional player.


    Although he had won the world championship, that prize money was only considered average to Lin Yun¡¯er. In recent years, Lin Yun¡¯er¡¯s value had risen every year, and at her peak, the fee for a single endorsement could reach tens of millions. Shooting a TV series or movie, her pay was several times higher than that of the stars who had become famous in recent years.


    Otherwise, why do you think Lin Yun¡¯er is so popular in Asia, with fans all over the place. When dating Jiang Siming, she didn¡¯t care at all about the money issue. She had it all figured out. If Jiang Siming really started a talent agency, she would give all the savings she had earned over the years to Jiang Siming to manage, regardless of whether he would make a loss. Even if everything was lost, she wouldn¡¯t care. At worst, she would work hard again to earn money and support him.

 Chapter 211: May This Day Come Soon

    This is Ling Yun¡¯er¡¯s insight into love. But now she has discovered that Jiang Siming is not as economically mediocre as she thought. Just from this hotel, she can confirm that Jiang Siming¡¯s financial strength is by no means inferior to hers.


    "Of course, your oppa not only runs a hotel, but also acquired 10% of the shares of Huayi Company. I now could be considered to have a talent agency of my own," Jiang Siming said with a smile.


    "Really?" Ling Yun¡¯er opened her eyes wide, her little mouth also gaping open, looking like she was stunned by the good news. She was well aware of Huayi Company; it was currently the top talent agency in China. Although it still fell a bit short of her current ST Company in terms of history and hard power, after all, ST Company was the strongest talent agency in South Korea, and it had been in operation for many years.


    Huayi, as a rising star, having a slight gap compared to ST was quite understandable. However, it was enough to shock Ling Yun¡¯er immensely. Her development in South Korea had already reached its peak, so in recent years, she often came to China, as her company wanted her to expand the Chinese market.


    Although the results were significant, they still could not surpass the local Chinese female stars. After all, a strong dragon does not oppress a local serpent; those Chinese actresses were backed by China¡¯s major talent agencies, and no matter how popular she was, she could not compete with them in the Chinese market. ST even racked its brain over this issue. But this problem was effortlessly resolved in Jiang Siming¡¯s hands; 10% of Huayi¡¯s shares meant that he was a significant shareholder.


    Don¡¯t look down on the 10%; for such a large company, having a 10% stake was already quite a lot. Even the chairman might not have much more shares than Jiang Siming.


    "I wouldn¡¯t deceive you, would I? As long as your contract expires next year, you can come to China for development at any time. I¡¯ll have Huayi support you with their maximum resources. By then, you¡¯ll be able to rise rapidly in China, soaring straight up."


    Jiang Siming was very enthusiastic about supporting his girlfriend¡¯s career. This kind of operation for a nurtured girlfriend was something he was very willing to do.


    "Does that mean I can stay in China more often?" Ling Yun¡¯er didn¡¯t first consider whether her career would take off; what she thought about first was whether she could stay in China long-term.


    "Of course, from then on, you¡¯ll have to become a wife in China and be prepared to change your nationality." Jiang Siming said jokingly.


    Ling Yun¡¯er happily leaped into Jiang Siming¡¯s arms.


    "Then I look forward to your improvement in Chinese."


    "Mm-hm!" After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled, unable to resist pressing their lips together again. The temperature in the room seemed to rise significantly. Fortunately, the doorbell rang, interrupting them.


    "If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have ordered the late-night snack," Jiang Siming said regrettably, as his pants were already bulging, and he was interrupted at such an inopportune moment, which was really a downer.


    "Hehe, I want to eat, I¡¯m so hungry," Ling Yun¡¯er said bashfully, blushing and covering her little tummy.


    "Alright, I¡¯ll go open the door," Jiang Siming had to cover up his embarrassment by putting on a bathrobe and went to open the door. Yuan Jie had the service staff deliver a large amount of Chinese specialties for the late-night snack, and the aroma immediately aroused Ling Yun¡¯er¡¯s appetite. Chinese cuisine was something that Korean people, including ordinary citizens, were particularly eager to taste.


    In Korea, there was a very popular food show that invited Korean celebrities to China to taste the local cuisine. Watching the Korean stars savoring dishes that they had never seen before, with looks of enjoyment and intoxication on their faces, left countless Korean viewers drooling. Not only in Korea, but almost every country had such shows, and the whole world knew that Chinese cuisine was the best in the world.


    Many Chinese students studying abroad could feel this very directly; no matter how poorly they cooked at home, once they went abroad, foreigners would regard them as culinary gods. There was a particularly interesting story about a Chinese person who only knew how to cook basic home dishes and moved to the United States. On rest days, the American uncles and aunts next door would line up in a long queue in front of his house, and they would buy all the ingredients for him, just to ask him to cook a few dishes. This person later became a famous Chinese chef in that street, and later even quit his job to become a full-time chef, with an income tens of times higher than his previous job.


    Ling Yun¡¯er had tasted Chinese cuisine before, so she had a particular fondness for Chinese food. Once the food was on the table, the big star lost all her image, holding a skewer of lamb in her left hand and a tentacle of squid in her right hand. She didn¡¯t even realize that her mouth was dripping with grease.


    Jiang Siming found it both amusing and heart-wrenching, saying, "Don¡¯t you often eat at night?"


    "Mm-hm, we strictly prohibit eating at night. Sometimes we¡¯re not even allowed to have dinner, we can only eat a little fruit," Ling Yun¡¯er said. Jiang Siming knew that the diet standards for artists were very strict. Even if Ling Yun¡¯er ate well for a few days at his place, she would face intense physical training when she returned.


    Female artists were most taboo about their figures changing, and the company was strict like a demon on this point. As soon as a female artist gained any weight, they would be made to lose it immediately, not allowing a single extra pound of fat. Jiang Siming thought for a moment and suddenly remembered a pill. **[Detox Beauty Pill]**: Can remove most impurities and toxins from the body, making the skin radiant and appear ten years younger. Men can use it to strengthen spleen and kidney functions, while women can use it for beauty. Note: One box contains ten pills, and each person can only take one pill.

 Chapter 212: Mysteriously Reached the Foundation Stage

    This [Detox Beauty Pill] I wonder if it can help with her figure. Jiang Siming thought about giving Lin Yuner one later. He almost forgot about these pills, having promised to give one to his girlfriend and family members.


    Fortunately, he remembered now; otherwise, these pills would have just gathered dust in his head. After eating for a full half-hour, Lin Yuner finally patted her slightly swollen belly, feeling quite satisfied.


    "Eating so much at night, aren¡¯t you worried about gaining weight?" Jiang Siming wiped her mouth with a tissue.


    Lin Yuner giggled and said, "I haven¡¯t had Chinese cuisine in a long time. It¡¯s so delicious, I couldn¡¯t help it."


    "Don¡¯t worry, honey. I¡¯ll exercise to lose weight when I get back home, I won¡¯t gain weight~" Lin Yuner was afraid that Jiang Siming would dislike her if she gained weight, so she quickly assured him.


    "I don¡¯t need you to lose weight. I would only feel heartache if you did." Jiang Siming shook his head and said. Lin Yuner, moved, ran into Jiang Siming¡¯s arms for a hug.


    "Take this." Jiang Siming handed her the blue pill.


    "Is this a digestive pill? It looks so strange." Lin Yuner took it curiously and swallowed it without hesitation. After being with Jiang Siming, this girl turned into a little foodie. As soon as the pill hit her stomach, Lin Yuner felt her body getting warm, and her skin began to secrete a slight amount of black substance, thick and sticky.


    "Opa, what are all these? Why do I have so much dirt...?" Lin Yuner was almost crying in the bathroom, thinking she had some terminal illness.


    It wasn¡¯t until she saw a figure appear behind her in the mirror that she realized she had been embraced from behind by Jiang Siming, and the bath towel that was tied around her body had been effortlessly removed, falling to the ground. Lin Yuner covered her face in shame, but with her hands covering her face, her body was left to be dominated by Jiang Siming.


    The room once again filled with spring colors. This was followed by the pain cries of a girl. In a single day, Jiang Siming transformed two girls into young women. His ¡¯beastly¡¯ behavior was simply outrageous! Finally giving away her most precious possession, Lin Yuner felt like a swaying boat, filled with happiness as she endured Jiang Siming¡¯s thrusts. The last time, because of her period, she couldn¡¯t give herself to Jiang Siming, which was a great regret for her.


    She felt she had dampened Jiang Siming¡¯s spirit, and he must have suffered greatly from restraint. This time, she had no intention of keeping her precious treasure anymore; she was determined to give herself entirely to Jiang Siming and become his woman! Underneath Jiang Siming, Lin Yuner could only helplessly wrap her arms around his back. The intense pain and pleasure made her unconsciously dig her fingers into Jiang Siming¡¯s flesh.


    Jiang Siming noticed but paid no attention; this minor pain was negligible compared to the heavenly joy he was experiencing. As time passed, Lin Yuner¡¯s cries of pain turned into moans of pleasure. Jiang Siming felt a great sense of achievement; he loved doing this kind of thing. The faint moonlight filtering in through the window fell onto the large bed, casting the silhouettes of two figures that remained intertwined.


    Stay updated with empire


    It was not until one or two o¡¯clock in the morning that this battle temporarily ceased. After accepting two new sources of yin energy in a day, the energy in Jiang Siming¡¯s dantian transformed into a liquid, accumulating and brimming with vitality within him. Jiang Siming felt that the power in his dantian was several times stronger than before. If he returned to the TAXX bar in this state just a couple of days ago, He could shatter those two reinforced glass doors with just one punch, no need for a full-body collision, which would leave him in a sorry state.


    "Foundation Establishment stage completed, the next stage, Golden Core stage." Upon receiving this information, Jiang Siming became excited, never expecting that a few intimate moments with his wives would turn him into a legendary Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, Foundation Establishment was not enough to fly or traverse the earth, but his physical limits were now several times higher than before.


    In other words, Jiang Siming could now jump more than twenty meters high without any problem, almost reaching the sky. Swinging his fists or clapping his hands would also release a burst of energy, much like those martial arts experts in novels and movies, who have internal arts, and his abilities were several levels higher than theirs. He was a cultivator, and his qi was not the low-level qi gong of internal arts, but innate true qi, which was much more powerful than internal arts. If he reached the Golden Core stage, he could destroy metal and rocks with a flick of his wrist or a snap of his fingers, and cause the Northern Sea to churn!

 Chapter 213: Going Out to Play

    And the energy in Jiang Siming¡¯s body, which has turned into liquid, is enough to support him in completing ten times the previous actions without any depletion. Jiang Siming was almost excited enough to want to jump off this building, but then he thought about how his hotel was more than fifty meters high, so he decided against it...


    He might die if he jumped from the top floor. Jiang Siming is now a cultivation master hidden in the city, just like those cultivation masters in novels about cultivation in the city, a hidden big boss! After taking the detoxification pill, Lin Yun¡¯er surprisingly wasn¡¯t very sleepy; her body was a bit tired, but her spirits were still high.


    "Honey, I can¡¯t sleep~" she said, lying on Jiang Siming, her head close to Jiang Siming¡¯s ear, lazily nibbling at his ear.


    "Can we go on for a bit longer?" Jiang Siming thought they could continue, and was just about to make a move when he heard Lin Yun¡¯er¡¯s pleading.


    "I just can¡¯t fall asleep, honey, can you take me out for a walk?" Lin Yun¡¯er pleaded.


    "It¡¯s so late, do you still want to go out?" Jiang Siming didn¡¯t really want to move, as lying in bed was so comfortable.


    "Please, please, honey, my beloved husband~" saying this, Lin Yun¡¯er gave Jiang Siming several kisses on the face as a bribe.


    "Kiss me here and I¡¯ll agree." Jiang Siming pointed to a certain place, taking advantage of the situation. Lin Yun¡¯er, with her blushing face, gave Jiang Siming a glare with her watery eyes, but obediently got off him. It was already two o¡¯clock in the morning when the thoroughly relaxed Jiang Siming accompanied Lin Yun¡¯er out.


    At two o¡¯clock in the morning, many places in Shanghai were still brightly lit, and there were many spots that seemed to be must-visit for tourists in Shanghai. Such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, the City God Temple, the Bund, and so on. Although these places are indeed symbols and attractions of Shanghai, they are crowded and have all sorts of random charges, especially the City God Temple, which is mainly set up to rip off people from other places and foreign tourists. Jiang Siming went there once and was so shocked by the prices inside that he quickly ran away and never went back. He had been living in Shanghai for a few years and later came to know some fun and interesting places that only old Shanghainese know.


    The two had already eaten their fill at the hotel, so they weren¡¯t going for the food. Jiang Siming took Lin Yun¡¯er to the Disc Racing Hall at 809 Zhaoyang Road, which is the first largest and most professional indoor racing hall for formula cars in all of Asia. Jiang Siming used to come here often when he was bored or down, and just one lap would lift his spirits, even though his skills were quite embarrassing at the time.


    Because he came so frequently, the owner of the racing hall recognized Jiang Siming.


    "Little Ming, you¡¯re here to have a few more laps, right? Why so late today?" the owner greeted Jiang Siming warmly.


    Jiang Siming was a very nice person and never made any demands on the owner; after each couple of laps, he would immediately give the car to someone else, and sometimes when it was busy, he helped the owner collect the cars or taught beginners how to operate them. So the owner liked Jiang Siming as a customer very much and would sometimes even let him drive for free when there was no one in the store.


    "You drive, I¡¯ll sit next to you." The car had a two-seater that could accommodate two people, but it would be a bit slower.


    "Then, my dear Oh Ba, you have to teach me well..." Lin Yun¡¯er was still a little scared. Jiang Siming reassured her, holding her hand and leading her to sit in the racing car.


    "This car is very simple. The red one is the brake, the green one is the accelerator. No need to change gears. To move forward, just floor the accelerator, and to brake, release the accelerator and step on the brake, just like driving a regular car." Jiang Siming gave a few instructions, and Lin Yun¡¯er understood after listening.


    After some preparation, the two officially started. Lin Yun¡¯er carefully pressed the accelerator, and the car¡¯s engine immediately roared, the body trembling slightly as it began to surge forward. They smoothly entered the track, and Lin Yun¡¯er gradually increased the speed. As the speed picked up, the two felt the wind on their faces, and their moods improved.


    "Ah~~ Oppa, I¡¯m so happy~" Lin Yun¡¯er was as joyful as a little corgi. If it weren¡¯t for driving, she would have jumped up in happiness.


    "Watch the direction, you¡¯re about to hit something." Jiang Siming laughed and guided her.


    After taking her for several rounds, once they got off, Lin Yun¡¯er was in a state of excitement, chattering away by Jiang Siming¡¯s ear. She asked how her driving was, how to drift the car, and when they could come back to play, and so on. Perhaps it had been too hard for her these past years, with the busy Lin Yun¡¯er having no time to play such games.


    Playing like this, she felt that her heart had become ten years younger.


    "Do you want to play more?" Jiang Siming wiped the fine sweat from her forehead caused by the excitement.


    "No more, having you here is so good~" Lin Yun¡¯er hugged Jiang Siming¡¯s arm, smiling happily.


    "Then, let me take you to play a very interesting game." Jiang Siming knew that Lin Yun¡¯er rarely went out to play, so this time, he wanted to make sure she had even more fun.


    "What game?"


    "Just follow me." Jiang Siming said goodbye to Uncle Ren, then went up to the second floor of the racing hall. The second floor was also a place for entertainment, but it was not a racing hall; rather, it was for other types of amusement.

 Chapter 214: Weibo Hot Search Number One!

    On the second floor, there is a decompression room where a game called ¡¯Blind Beating¡¯ is played, which is a very popular decompression game on short video apps recently. Two people put on helmets and blindfolds, each holding a soft stick, and beat each other with the soft sticks. This game won¡¯t hurt anyone; the walls and floor are all padded with soft material, and the soft sticks have no power. It¡¯s just a small game for friends or couples to release stress, and it has recently become very popular. Jiang Siming and Lin Yun¡¯er both put on helmets and blindfolds.


    "Oppa... you¡¯re not allowed to hit me..." Lin Yun¡¯er pleaded pitifully, but the smile on her face was exceptionally bright, like a child.


    "That¡¯s not possible, it depends on your skills. If I catch you, I¡¯ll give you a good thrashing," Jiang Siming intimidated her.


    "Alright, I¡¯m starting now, where are you?" Jiang Siming said with a smile, his eyes still blindfolded. Lin Yun¡¯er didn¡¯t answer because she knew Jiang Siming was trying to trick her into making a sound. She wasn¡¯t that stupid. Hmph, bad husband! Although his eyes were covered, Jiang Siming was a Foundation Establishment expert and could easily locate Lin Yun¡¯er by her breath.


    He knew very clearly that Lin Yun¡¯er was crouching on the ground, cautiously moving, looking like a ¡¯deserter.¡¯ Jiang Siming quietly and amusingly walked behind her and lightly tapped her head with the soft stick.


    "Bad husband, bad oppa, bullying me, wuwu..."


    "Ye! I hit you~ hahaha!" Lin Yuner looked as happy as a fool.


    "Yeah, you hit my face, it really hurts," Jiang Siming teased her. But Lin Yuner, upon hearing this, became so worried that her laughter vanished instantly. She quickly removed her helmet and eye mask, ran to Jiang Siming¡¯s side, and asked with concern,


    "Oppa, are you okay? Did I hurt you? Let me rub it for you." With a sense of guilt and pain in her heart, she began soothing Jiang Siming¡¯s face with her hands.


    Jiang Siming also took off his eye mask, smiled, and pulled her into his arms, saying, "I was just teasing you, little fool."


    Lin Yuner didn¡¯t get angry at being deceived; instead, she obediently became a happy little woman in Jiang Siming¡¯s embrace. The shop owner couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and asked if they were still playing. If not, they should leave quickly as someone else was waiting. The two continued playing until four in the morning before leaving the arcade, holding hands and walking down the street, heading home. "Husband Oppa, if... everyone finds you out, what will happen... Will you be in trouble?" Lin Yuner got a bit worried thinking about it. It wouldn¡¯t be so bad if she was found out, but if Jiang Siming was discovered, he would surely face ¡¯condemnation¡¯ from both his Korean and Chinese fans, and the media would definitely not let him off easily. Thinking about the trouble she would cause for Jiang Siming, Lin Yuner blamed herself for being so careless and getting caught on camera. But for Jiang Siming, it was completely unruffled. "So what if they found out? I don¡¯t know what the Korean men would do to me, but I believe our Chinese lads would only be proud and honored. After all, I¡¯ve managed to woo their country¡¯s goddess, which can be seen as a revenge for the Korean director who took away our Chinese Tang Wei," Jiang Siming said with a smile. Lin Yuner felt a bit embarrassed and turned her head slightly, saying, "But I¡¯m afraid many media reporters will follow you every day." "Don¡¯t worry, they can only dream about following me," Jiang Siming replied with a disdainful laugh. He was a foundation-establishing expert, could he be caught by these paparazzi? Now, as long as Jiang Siming projected his consciousness, he could easily sense everything within a hundred meters. Even if the media knew his home address, it wouldn¡¯t matter; the place where he lived was a high-end villa area, and media couldn¡¯t even get past the gates. Even if they managed to sneak in, Xiao Xian would report to him immediately, and he could call the police to catch them all. Although she felt relieved, Lin Yuner was still quite worried, fortunately, no one had discovered Jiang Siming yet, so she could relax a bit. They drove back to the hotel, and Lin Yuner fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, but Jiang Siming was still wide awake. He could go several days and nights without sleeping. However, sleeping was one of life¡¯s great pleasures, and even though he didn¡¯t need to replenish his sleep every day, Jiang Siming still enjoyed lying in bed, especially with his girlfriend by his side. The next morning, Jiang Siming took Lin Yuner back home. Wang Xinyi and Yin Zhirou were almost convinced they were dreaming when they saw Lin Yuner. "Brother, the main character of today¡¯s Chinese news headline turns out to be you!" Wang Xinyi said, picking up her iPad to show the trending news on Weibo. The first and most striking piece of fresh news was [Lin Yuner¡¯s Romance Exposed, Sweet Kiss on London Street]. The (popularity) of this news surpassed the second one [Wang Feng and Zhang Ziyi Argue Over Divorce] by more than three times! Indeed, the Korean side could not hold it back any longer, and the news had drifted over to China. When you click in, there is the photo of Jiang Siming and Lin Yuner kissing deeply at night. Once this photo was uploaded to China, countless good men felt heart-wrenching pain and were in tears. [Lin Yuner¡¯s Romance Exposed, Sweet Kiss on London Street] #WeiboHotSearch "Cry, cry harder!

 Chapter 215: Competition? Must Go!

    This is the powerful popularity of Lin Yun¡¯er, the C-position debut member of the top female group in Asia. Despite the surge of domestic female stars in recent years, it has not diminished her influence.


    Wang Xinyi never dreamed that her husband would be able to bring Lin Yun¡¯er home. "Sempai, you¡¯re so handsome~~" A sense of pride spontaneously arose in Wang Xinyi¡¯s heart.


    Look, everyone, look, this is my man, bringing glory to the country! He has avenged all Chinese men! Wang Xinyi¡¯s imagination was completely different from that of ordinary women. She was thrilled to have Lin Yun¡¯er join this big family. In just one day, she gained two sisters, one of whom was a big star.


    She also liked Lin Yun¡¯er; now, she had turned from a fan to a sister. Wow, this treatment was amazing! She would find time to ask Lin Yun¡¯er for a few group photos to show off to her classmates in the dorm; they would be incredibly jealous, hahaha. Yin Zhirou also giggled, covering her mouth. Although she didn¡¯t particularly care about celebrities, she felt honored that Jiang Siming could win the heart of a big star. How many times had she ever had the opportunity to ¡¯serve the same husband¡¯ with a big star? This experience was truly unprecedented.


    "Oh my, what am I thinking, Yin Zhirou, you¡¯re too naughty!" she muttered to herself. The critical point was that Lin Yun¡¯er, upon entering the house, showed no star attitude at all. Instead, she positioned herself as a younger sister, treating Wang Xinyi and Yin Zhirou with particular respect and importance, responding to all their questions.


    The three of them quickly got along, and although Lin Yun¡¯er wasn¡¯t very proficient in Chinese, they all spoke English, so communication was smooth. Observing the three women chatting warmly in the living room, Jiang Siming threw his head back, spread his arms, and laughed heartily. With another one brought home, they could even make up a table for mahjong. Just as he was planning to go over and communicate more with the ¡¯concubines,¡¯ his phone suddenly rang¡ªit was a call from Wei Shen.


    "Old Jiang, the PCL Spring Championship starts tonight, you didn¡¯t forget, right?" Wei Shen asked, picking his nose.


    "Damn! I really did forget!" Jiang Siming immediately checked the date, and it was true.


    Wei Shen had already told him that the domestic league for the Spring Championship was starting today, and he couldn¡¯t believe he actually forgot.


    "You¡¯re really something. Are you coming? If not, I¡¯ll have to let Aluka be the substitute. I guess you don¡¯t really care about the domestic league."


    Wei Shen never expected Jiang Siming to come back. He didn¡¯t participate in the FGS domestic league at all before.


    He thought this time would be the same, after all, Wei Shen knew that the Douyu Fan Festival was the day after tomorrow. He thought Jiang Siming would be busy with live streaming.


    But unexpectedly, Jiang Siming answered without hesitation: "Of course I¡¯m coming! Send me the address, I¡¯ll definitely be there tonight!"


    "Why 35% for me? That¡¯s too much," Jiang Siming was a bit surprised. He thought it would be an equal split.


    "Isn¡¯t it because of you, Boss Jiang, that we made it to the finals? If we split the prize money equally, we¡¯d feel guilty. So you getting the biggest share is reasonable. But you¡¯re buying dinner tonight, no running away from that." Wei Shen¡¯s tone was not without a hint of envy. Enjoy new adventures from empire


    Thirty-five percent of 20 million is over 7 million, which is a huge sum for Wei Shen. But for Jiang Siming, 7 million is nothing now. This guy is worth over a billion now, and the monthly revenue from his various businesses is in the tens of millions. He even recently added a new Walmart supermarket. This doesn¡¯t even include Yinguang Financial. So 7 million is just the profit from one of his luxury stores for a quarter.


    After hanging up the call, Jiang Siming felt invigorated. The thought of being able to play more matches and earn fragments from today on made his blood boil.


    "What¡¯s up, Bro?" Wang Xinyi, seeing Jiang Siming¡¯s eager look, was curious.


    "I have a match today, hahaha." Jiang Siming replied with a smile. The three women were puzzled; why was he so excited about having a match? Shouldn¡¯t he be nervous instead? Wei Shen, upon receiving the news that Jiang Siming was going to play, immediately informed the organizers.


    Upon learning that Jiang Siming was about to play, all the major domestic professional teams felt a sudden increase in pressure. It was already difficult to deal with a semi-complete 4AM, and now they were facing a fully complete 4AM; who could stand up to that?


    "We must avoid 4AM, especially Jiang Siming. Once we confirm Jiang Siming¡¯s position, we should immediately take a detour!" This was the new ¡¯mission¡¯ that almost all the team coaches assigned to their players, and most of the team members also ¡¯trusted¡¯ this mission.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s formidable presence still loomed large, and those who had watched the FGS matches had a strong fear of him, wanting to avoid this demon as much as possible. Only a certain player from the SJ team didn¡¯t think this way. Clenching his fists in front of his computer, where the screen displayed information about a recent chicken dinner with 21 kills.


    "Jiang Siming, I will definitely return the humiliation you brought me, twofold!"


    His hatred for Jiang Siming had far exceeded that of the 4AM club. It was because of Jiang Siming that he was squeezed out of 4AM and lost everything. At first, no other team wanted him, and it was only the SJ team that finally took him in at a low price. The feeling of being in heaven one second and in hell the next was all thanks to Jiang Siming. During this time, Gu Cun had been training intensively, undergoing a brutal training regimen.


    With his natural talent, his skills had vastly improved in this period. This was the source of his confidence, his belief that he could match Jiang Siming, and his confidence to turn the tables!

 Chapter 216: Really Scared Away

    At night, Jiang Siming¡¯s live streaming room opened as usual. However, Jiang Siming was not live streaming himself, but broadcasting his first-person perspective of the match. Unlike the World Championship, the domestic league had fewer rules and restrictions, with many professional players¡¯ live streaming rooms open, broadcasting their first-person perspectives.


    Sun Youcai was personally managing this live streaming room for Jiang Siming and had specially invited two Douyu commentators for Jiang Siming. Both were well-known streamers, one being Pigff, and the other, Jiang Siming¡¯s rumored girlfriend, Little Dumb Sister. This was also a deliberate move by Douyu, insisting on stirring up some gossip about Jiang Siming.


    Pigff was a hardcore fan of Jiang Siming, and upon seeing Little Dumb Sister, he immediately played along, shouting: "Big Sister, hello!"


    Little Dumb Sister¡¯s face turned red instantly, embarrassed, she said, "Don¡¯t cause trouble, Student Zhu Fangfang."


    "Hehe, Big Sister, don¡¯t be upset, I just wanted to express my admiration for Ming God," Zhu Fangfang chuckled.


    The audience laughed and cursed, "Lickdog Fang!"


    Despite Jiang Siming not being present or heard, his live streaming room was still the most popular on Douyu, with nearly 7 million people watching. Almost 70% of the viewers from Douyu¡¯s official match live streaming room had moved to Jiang Siming¡¯s room to watch the match.


    There were only a few minutes left before the match started, and all the professional players were already in their positions in the venue.


    "Alright, everyone, the first group match of the first day of the PCI Spring League is about to begin. This is the personal broadcast live streaming room of Ming God. For those who want to learn skills or watch violent art, don¡¯t leave. I am today¡¯s commentator, Zhu Fangfang."


    The live streaming room screen flashed, and indeed, Jiang Siming¡¯s personal perspective appeared. The ID [4am_ming] reappeared in the match.


    "Excited, excited! Finally, we can see Ming God play again!"


    "I just love seeing Ming God dominate the professional players, he¡¯s so cool!"


    This matter has always been a hot topic among Huaxia players, who all want to know where Bluehole will take their inspiration. Some say the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, others say Mount Tai and Changbai Mountain, and some even say a certain city. Anyway, there are all kinds of suggestions, but none of them have any basis. The designers of Bluehole don¡¯t even stay in the same place in Huaxia; they have to travel around to scout locations and only make conclusions after discussions. So, being a designer at Bluehole must be a pretty sweet deal, with all the paid travel.


    Putting that aside, let¡¯s get back to the game topic. This time, the map is the familiar island map. The first large circle of the safe zone was revealed before everyone even boarded the plane, appearing in the center of the airport. Upon seeing this circle, all team members began to enthusiastically discuss routes and strategies. Team 4am was no exception.


    "There are definitely going to be a lot of people at the center of the airport, in the first match, I suggest we don¡¯t push it and head to the school instead?" Wei Shen was speaking to Jiang Siming, hoping for his agreement.


    As expected, Jiang Siming... disagreed.


    "How about this, you guys go to the school, and I¡¯ll go to the airport alone, what do you think?"


    It was such a good opportunity, and he didn¡¯t want to miss it, so he proposed going solo. Wei Shen laughed and scolded, "I knew you wouldn¡¯t agree, you thug. You can¡¯t hog all the glory; we¡¯ll go with you, I bet not many people will dare to jump into the airport."


    "Ah Wei, you¡¯re so understanding, that¡¯s how it should be, we are the world champion team, we need to show our style," Jiang Siming laughed. Although there were three more people to compete for kills, Jiang Siming believed they couldn¡¯t take many of his kills. The plane flew over City S, and teams were continuously jumping out.


    Even though the circle was in the airport, they still wanted to stick to their playstyle; it¡¯s only the After passing through P City, half the people on the plane were already gone. Jiang Siming was very frustrated, praying in his heart for more teams to jump at the airport, the more the better!


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Passing over the bridge, another two or three teams of parachutists went out, and Jiang Siming felt a deep sense of loss, as if he had missed out on a fortune. Fortunately, when they flew over the airport, there were still two external teams that landed with Jiang Siming¡¯s group.


    Two teams, eight people, Jiang Siming¡¯s eyes glinted with excitement, and he quickly descended. The two teams that landed with 4AM were two lesser-known small teams, KG and IDS.


    "Old Jiang, why do you feel like a starving ghost? You¡¯re flying so fast!" GodV remarked. They had just opened their parachutes, and Jiang Siming was already almost on the ground.


    "Bro Jiang, don¡¯t be like this, look, you scared a team that was flying with us over to K building," Xiao Simu said with a mix of laughter and frustration. KG had also intended to occupy the C building, but seeing Jiang Siming¡¯s rapid descent, they immediately changed direction and flew to another place. They were truly scared away.

 Chapter 217: Still So Devilish

    "Oh, I wish I had slowed down a bit." Jiang Siming also regretted it when he noticed, wondering why he had seemed so desperate, scaring everyone away with his wolf-like appearance.


    These guys had already changed their spots early, so after Jiang Siming landed, he couldn¡¯t even shoot a bird. Originally, he could have gathered a team upon landing, but it¡¯s too bad, too bad. He needs to be more careful next time. Currently, 4am is at Building C, KG has landed at Building K and the small factory, while IDS is at the satellite building.


    Jiang Siming thoroughly searched Building One but didn¡¯t find any sniper rifles, feeling a bit disappointed. Even though vGod¡¯s team didn¡¯t find a sniper rifle either, there were plenty of assault rifles. Jiang Siming had an SCAR-L assault rifle, which had no attachments at all, but it came with a 6x scope.


    The audience thought Jiang Siming would use it as a single-shot sniper rifle, and yes, even vGod¡¯s team thought so. However, when they realized Jiang Siming only had one gun, they were stunned for a second. Is... Is he really going to use it as a single-shot?


    "Old Jiang, I¡¯ve got an extra M416 if you need it," vGod said.


    Jiang Siming thought about picking it up, but after glancing at the distance to the other building, he declined. "It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll just take one myself."


    As Jiang Siming was standing on the roof of Building One, a warning of danger suddenly appeared above his head. Without thinking, Jiang Siming immediately turned his body. Bang! Bang! Bang! A bullet from an SKS and two from a MINI14 flew past his ear. The audience watching the live stream was scared to death, but fortunately, otherwise, Jiang Siming would have been down for sure. The opponent must have finished searching and set up a gun trap in advance.


    Seeing Jiang Siming on the roof of Building One, they aimed their two snipers and fired simultaneously. If they had hit, Jiang Siming would definitely have been dead.


    "Oh! My sniper rifle has arrived." Jiang Siming revealed a knowing smile. The opponent, having missed the first few shots, continued to shoot at Jiang Siming without giving up.


    Jiang Siming quickly moved a few steps and didn¡¯t retreat from the rooftop; instead, he positioned himself behind a small round column, only exposing a small part of his head. He opened the 6x scope on his SCAR-L, easily found one of the opponents¡¯ positions, and decisively pulled the trigger!


    Tututu...


    But IDS was clearly not a top-tier strong team, and the second teammate still tried to fully engage Jiang Siming. However, he only hit Jiang Siming¡¯s arm with one shot, while Jiang Siming¡¯s gun, upon moving to him, fired a whole magazine. This time, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t aim for the head because he wanted the enemy¡¯s Level 2 helmet, as he was currently wearing only a Level 1 helmet. -33, -33, -33, -33. Four bullets hit the Level 1 armor on his chest, causing four identical injuries.


    Actually, the damage from hitting different parts of the body varies; hitting the chest is the highest at 33, while hitting the abdomen causes 28 points of damage. Jiang Siming pressed the bullets right into the chest, not a single bullet strayed to the abdomen, hence the consistent damage. Over a hundred points of damage ended this person¡¯s life, four bullets into the heart, it looked painful. In an instant, he eliminated two players, and Jiang Siming took the opportunity to loot both of their heads.


    Just as he looted the second player, a red light emerged from the opponent¡¯s box. Jiang Siming rejoiced; he had always said that he needed to participate in matches, and now even after just killing two people, he had obtained fragments.


    "Kills +1, Random Butcher Bounty: 8000."


    "Kills +2, Butcher Bounty: 16000."


    The bounty is great too! If he kills ten, he would have over four million! Jiang Siming¡¯s enthusiasm was fully ignited. He had no motivation when streaming and playing with random players. When you¡¯ve experienced riding in a Rolls-Royce, could you possibly feel the same about riding in an Alto?


    "There are only two left in the satellite building, I¡¯ll go seize it first, you guys keep them pinned for me, okay." After saying this, Jiang Siming jumped off the rooftop. He didn¡¯t care even if he lost some health; he didn¡¯t even use a potion and charged straight towards the other side.


    "This guy is still so devilish." Wang Duo Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead when he had a moment. He was still not quite used to Jiang¡¯s style of play; it was too inhuman.


    Jiang Siming quickly arrived outside the satellite building, glanced behind him, and saw that Wei Shen and the others were already on their way to support. With no more concerns, Jiang Siming heard footsteps inside the satellite building, which were quite chaotic, indicating that the two remaining IDS players were inside. On the other side, the KG team began to panic. They never expected that 4AM would land in the same area as them.


    "Isn¡¯t 4AM the school¡¯s dominant force? Why are they at the airport?" KG player Myl was terrified. It wasn¡¯t just him; the entire KG team¡¯s faces turned green. They suddenly remembered a song: Night after night, I think of my coach¡¯s words, twinkling tear lights, the lupine flower......

 Chapter 218: A Man’s Name, A Tree’s Shadow

    The KG team is lucky, at least they haven¡¯t run into 4am, while IDS is the one who wants to curse the most right now. At the beginning of the game, they lost two members, and when they found out it was Jiang Siming, they were completely stunned, so the last two members huddled in the satellite building, not daring to come out.


    A man¡¯s name is like a tree¡¯s shadow. Just like in ancient battles, when a weak troop suddenly learns they are to fight the strongest and most renowned army, their first reaction is not to fight but to run and defend. After knowing it was the demon god Jiang Siming, the two made up their minds to never leave the satellite building, even if it means they would be eliminated.


    "Damn it, why is this so unlucky, if I had known I would rather die than jump to the airport," IDS player 970 said with a long face.


    "Don¡¯t say things like that; it¡¯s too late. We just need to cover each other, wait for them to come in, and shoot them down immediately. Every point counts," IDS team leader YKK gritted his teeth and said, gripping the mouse tightly.


    Professional players have their pride too; knowing you¡¯re strong doesn¡¯t mean I can¡¯t hide in the house and play for points, I will at least take one of you down! But 970 then softly murmured, "What if they throw a grenade..."


    "Don¡¯t be such a jinx..." As soon as the captain finished speaking, an explosive flew into their room.


    Boom!


    The grenade exploded, and the two were instantly killed. Right where the IDS players were, a scene of "beating" and internal conflict was unfolding.


    "Lucky I found a grenade, otherwise, we would have been robbed by Wei Shen and his team," Jiang Siming said with a smile.


    However, the four of them only gave Jiang Siming one fragment. The drop rate wasn¡¯t as high as in the world championships, but he was already very satisfied. The bounty on the killer reached 74,000. Jiang Siming went over first to pick up the red fragment.


    "Great job, you can pick your gear first later." Jiang Siming laughed loudly and had already arrived at the battlefield. All four people were near the jeep and smartly blew it up as cover. Since it couldn¡¯t be driven, it might as well serve as cover. But such small cover was clearly impossible for four people, so KG immediately chose to spread out, leaving only two people behind the car. After coming from the satellite building, Jiang Siming, at the first moment, opened the 6x scope on his SKS and shot three consecutive shots at one of the KG members who was about to run to the side of the road.


    The enemy didn¡¯t even have a moment to react before collapsing on the road, and Wei Shen, who followed up, finished him off immediately.


    "Damn, Ming is here." The other three members of KG were instantly a bit flustered. Although the field was now 3v3 and the numbers were even, the pressure from Jiang Siming alone was too great, greater than the entire pressure from 4AM.


    "Fire smoke, fire smoke, let¡¯s retreat to the southeast slope!" KG immediately wanted to avoid the fight. Jiang Siming stood openly in the open field, shooting at the KG members one by one, and KICZ of KG, who couldn¡¯t stand it any longer, couldn¡¯t help but raise his 98k, intending to secretly take out Jiang Siming, a headshot would be one shot with a level-two helmet.


    If he could successfully take out Jiang Siming, he could become famous in one battle, wouldn¡¯t that be great. So, Jiang Siming is a demon king to professional players, but also a very tempting kill. Just like in LOL, everyone is proud of solo-killing Li Ge. Now in PUBG, being able to solo-kill Ming God is enough for you to brag about for a lifetime! Of course, the difficulty of this is much greater than killing Li Ge. The moment Kicz raised his gun, it was captured by Jiang Siming, whose mouse movement speed was even faster than Kicz¡¯s aiming speed. By the time Kicz opened his scope, Jiang Siming had already fired two shots, both hitting the head. -73, -73. Thud, he fell to his knees.


    This KG player still failed to complete his dream. Another one down, the other two KG teammates were even more leaderless and disorganized, easily being killed by the arriving Wei Shen and Wang Duo Yu. Losing two kills, Jiang Siming was also used to it; after all, he couldn¡¯t hog all the kills for himself, that would be too Kobe.


    He didn¡¯t want to be too Kobe, just a little bit would do. Moreover, the Kicz he brought down last had already dropped a fragment, which he found very satisfying.


    "Picked up [Shanghai Xujiahui Gucci Flagship Store] golden fragment *1 (1/3). Insufficient fragments to use."


    Hehe, another luxury brand, nice, nice. He now owned four luxury shops: Hermes, LV, Chanel, and Gucci. Jiang Siming happily collected them, while Wang Duo Yu helped the Little Xingmu back to his feet, and the four of them cheerfully cleared the battlefield. The game had just started, and 4am had already scored 8 points. The pressure on other teams was enormous; truly worthy of the world champion team, their dominance was more than ten times greater than OMG¡¯s from back in the day!

 Chapter 219: Factory’s Defiance Against Superstition

    Although Jiang Siming and his team had already killed 8 people, their location was also exposed at the same time. No one was willing to approach them; the Hong Kong team originally wanted to block the bridge but gave up on this idea upon learning that 4am was at the airport, choosing instead to hunker down in building H. Stay tuned for updates on empire


    "I think 4am will have a hard time encountering anyone next, unless it¡¯s in the final circle," Pigff said with a sense of wry amusement.


    Everyone was avoiding 4am; what kind of terrifying team was this? Luckily, he was just a streamer and didn¡¯t have to compete; otherwise, Pigff felt he might have to be just as isolated and trembling with fear.


    "That¡¯s not necessarily true. If they don¡¯t show up, 4am won¡¯t let this opportunity pass, especially Brother Ming. He won¡¯t be content with peace and quiet," Little Dumb Sister disagreed with Pigff¡¯s view.


    Is hiding enough? Brother Ming wouldn¡¯t let them off so easily. Being his enemy means being prepared to be hunted at any time. In the London finals, Jiang Siming dared to fly alone to building G to block VSG and then went to the Upper City to block RSG, let alone in domestic leagues.


    As expected, after getting a motorcycle, Jiang Siming temporarily said goodbye to his team. Jiang Siming¡¯s live stream viewers could temporarily no longer see the rest of the team, as this was Jiang Siming¡¯s first-person perspective and not 4am¡¯s. Riding the motorcycle at high speed away from the airport, 4am chose to stay on the hill behind the airport to set up an ambush.


    They needed to hold their ground, and as for Jiang Siming, they let him have his freedom. After all, FGS won the world championship thanks to Jiang Siming¡¯s solo play, so not only did the team members have no objections to this strategy, neither did the audience.


    The motorcycle arrived at the bridge, and Jiang Siming got off to check a few times first, confirming that no one was blocking the bridge before proceeding. If someone was blocking the bridge, he wouldn¡¯t choose to rush through; even if the opponents were weak, four people could still kill him.


    This is the only chance to block Big Brother Ming, but unfortunately no team chose to block the bridge.


    "So, next up is the time for Big Brother Ming to let loose! Everyone just wait for death!" Little Dumb Sister waved her pink fists, with an expression as if she had already seen the outcome.


    Meiko sighed as he continued, "If this person were in our EDG club, I could ask him to play a couple of rounds with me whenever I had nothing to do."


    Factory was stunned but still unconvinced, saying, "I don¡¯t believe it. If he drives to our EDG territory now, just wait, I don¡¯t believe four of us can¡¯t beat him."


    Meiko chuckled, "Right now, all you can hope is that our EDG doesn¡¯t provoke him, or else they won¡¯t make it through this match."


    Just as he finished speaking, an EDG member couldn¡¯t resist and fired at Jiang Siming. Jiang Siming¡¯s car speed suddenly increased, and he swerved skillfully, easily dodging the bullets that almost hit him in the face. Subsequently, the motorcycle soared into the sky along the slope on the face of this EDG member. While the motorcycle was flying in mid-air, Jiang Siming switched from the driving position to the back, and the SCAR-L in his hand was also switched. He aimed at that person and started shooting frantically while still on the seat.


    The bullets shot out, flying into the body of that EDG member. Although there was no gun control this time, the random shots still knocked him down. After knocking him down, Jiang Siming could switch back to the passenger seat, turn the car around, and run over the opponent, then leave the scene.


    This series of operations left Changzhang stunned; how could the game he was playing be so different from his own??? Before the EDG members who came to support could reach the spot, Jiang Siming had already left. However, he did not leave but instead charged directly into the large power plant.


    Upon discovering this, the three EDG members immediately opened fire, but Jiang Siming¡¯s motorcycle dashed into the factory, and they couldn¡¯t even hit the vehicle. Instead, Jiang Siming got off the motorcycle, his body emerged from the factory, and the familiar 98K he had taken from the KG team instantly put down one of the EDG members with a single shot. The other two EDG members, rushing in to confront him, just opened fire when Jiang Siming slipped like an eel into the cover inside the factory again.


    The two of them tried to flank him from left and right, but Jiang Siming¡¯s SCAR-L was unreasonable, shooting first one side and then the other, with a gun-switching speed so fast that it was hard to see. When the last bullet was fired, the game ended right then. This extreme, art-like operation made the fans in Jiang Siming¡¯s live stream go wild, and Dabimiao was already howling, completely losing her goddess image.


    When Jiang Siming used his SCAR-L to shoot the first person, he never reloaded, actually leaving only less than 15 bullets in the chamber, but he still managed to kill two people. This absolute confidence in his own marksmanship and the dazzlingly intricate operations had everyone¡¯s blood boiling. The manager looked at the screen and finally let out just one word: "Holy shit!"

 Chapter 220: About to Become a Major Shareholder

    "This wave is not a base, everyone can freely type 66666!"


    "Turtle, you¡¯ve got me tingling again."


    "Ming God is still Ming God, he hasn¡¯t changed a bit."


    "World-class operations are executed so effortlessly, what else can I say but admire?"


    Continue reading stories on empire


    "Poor EDG, 777777."...


    This wave by Jiang Siming was quite reckless; he should have left after killing the first person. But he not only didn¡¯t leave but also rushed into the encirclement of three people. Unfortunately, the reason gods are gods is that their existence is to break any norms and irrationalities. There¡¯s only a one-character difference between ¡¯showing off¡¯ and ¡¯recklessness,¡¯ but the meanings are worlds apart.


    This series of operations, from start to finish, was god-level, from the initial car gunning, to the instant sniping, and finally to the rapid elimination of two people. Many professional players can only aspire to this, they can¡¯t even perform one of these moves, let alone execute them in such a varied and spectacular way like Jiang Siming.


    "See, how strong is this guy?" Meiko pulled a scowling face at the factory manager sitting beside him, showing off.


    Ming Kai, acting as a little brother, nodded frequently and said, "Why didn¡¯t we buy this guy for our EDG if he¡¯s so powerful?"


    "Duh, Faker used to be super strong too, have you ever seen him join any team outside of SKT?" Meiko looked down on him.


    "Can we have a chance to get him to carry us to a chicken dinner? I¡¯ve played for almost fifty hours and haven¡¯t won a single chicken dinner." Ming Kai looked hopeful.


    "That would be tough, we don¡¯t have any connection with 4am. Unless you become a big spender in his live stream and brush a few hundred thousand like Wang Jianlin, he might carry you." Meiko had long wanted Jiang Siming to carry him, but it seemed Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even recognize him, with no relation or acquaintance, why would he carry a League of Legends player like him?


    "Does this person play League of Legends?"


    Although the most outstanding was still Jiang Siming, it doesn¡¯t mean that other professional players had no performance at all.


    This time, RNG-XDD, who was making his debut in the professional match after the first training session, had just successfully helped his team wipe out a fully staffed team, securing an impressive double kill.


    As for other strong teams, like OMG and 17, they also each eliminated a team.


    The two teams that fought in the World Championships had become much more aggressive when they returned to the domestic league.


    OMG¡¯s form has returned, and they have brought back their former command captain, Xiao Wei. With Xiao Wei¡¯s return, OMG¡¯s level has skyrocketed.


    The reason for OMG¡¯s poor performance earlier was that the captain¡¯s position was taken over by Xiaoshi, who had a fiery temper and preferred direct confrontations, making him unsuitable for the role.


    This resulted in poor performance at the FGS.


    With Xiao Wei¡¯s return, the fans of OMG have once again rekindled their fervent hopes. The impressive kills by these two teams were expected, but the audience didn¡¯t anticipate that SJ, a new team, would eliminate two teams! Especially Gu, who just joined the team, and claimed 4 kills, becoming the top killer on the personal leaderboard, second only to Jiang Siming. Although the match had just begun, Gu¡¯s performance was flawless. Audiences familiar with him noticed that Gu¡¯s skills seemed much stronger than before. Many fans couldn¡¯t help but look forward to the confrontation between Gu and 4AM, wondering if it would be a clash of titans.


    However, the two teams were currently far apart, and a confrontation would likely only happen in the final circle. Jiang Siming also saw the kill notifications in the top right corner, with [SJ_gu] appearing four times, which was quite surprising to him.


    "It looks like they came prepared, but don¡¯t die at the hands of other teams, I¡¯ll be waiting for you," Jiang Siming said with a light, relaxed smile. After Xiao Mo¡¯s team left the power plant, Jiang Siming stopped by a restroom on the road outside L Port. He knew that many people had landed in S City earlier, and they were likely to move in either the east or west direction, not towards the school.


    Jiang Siming decided to set up on the eastern road, hoping for some luck. When the poison circle started to form, the second circle was already announced, still centered on the airport, and it perfectly covered the overpass. This announcement gave many teams plenty of time to move and strategize, far better than the random refresh in the past.


    "Old Jiang, come back, otherwise someone might block the bridge, which could be troublesome,"Wei Shen called out. Everything was still calm on their side, with the four of them enjoying the sunset from the top of a hill, living a very comfortable life. "I¡¯ll wait a bit longer, and if no one shows up, I¡¯ll move," Jiang Siming was not in a hurry, as the second circle would not start for at least another five minutes.


    He waited in the toilet for a while, but still didn¡¯t see anyone come, Jiang Siming felt a bit disappointed and was just about to leave when the sound of a car came from afar, ringing in his ears. Jiang Siming immediately perked up, "I¡¯ve been waiting here for so long, finally I can collect the toll!"

 Chapter 221: Encountering IG

    The one heading towards Jiang Siming was still Principle Wang¡¯s old acquaintance, the IG team. Principle Wang, who was watching the match, turned pale; he wished he could call the four players immediately and tell them to take another route.


    You guys are walking down a dead-end! However, obviously, he had no way to notify his team, and could only watch helplessly as the IG team drove towards the main road guarded by Jiang Siming.


    Bang bang bang!


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t show any mercy; as the last car passed by him, bullets flew. An unlucky IG player rolled off the car.


    "Save me, save me, someone¡¯s ambushing me!"


    "Damn! It¡¯s this demon! Should we give up and change our route?" Explore stories on empire


    The other IG players reacted to Jiang Siming¡¯s ID as if they had seen the plague.


    "But it¡¯s the captain. Are we really not going to save him?"


    "He seems to be alone. Should we fight? If he gets away, the boss will be even angrier, right?"No?v(el)B\\jnn


    "That makes sense. Get out and fight!" Despite knowing they had encountered Jiang Siming, the IG team chose to get out of the car and face Jiang Siming head-on.


    This move was appreciated by Wang Headmaster; if they had walked away without a second thought, he would have immediately disbanded the IG team and recruited new members. After all, he, as the boss, cared not only about results but also the team¡¯s reputation.


    "Good job, if you kill Ming, I¡¯ll give each of you a 200,000 bonus!" Principle Wang even sent a comment in Jiang Siming¡¯s live stream. The audience was left in a mix of laughter and tears, how did love turn to hate so quickly?


    "The principal is clearly favoring his own team, this is too much."


    "He was all cozy and cuddly with them just a moment ago, how could he turn his face so quickly?"


    "Principal, even if you give each of them a million, it won¡¯t help; what can¡¯t be done simply can¡¯t be done."


    In fact, he could have just used the grenades he picked up earlier in the big power plant to finish them off. Pigff immediately understood Jiang Siming¡¯s intention. Little Dumb Sister thought the same.


    She said with a smile, "After all, Principal Wang is a regular in Brother Ming¡¯s live stream. I believe Brother Ming is making a concession. Moreover, there¡¯s a chance for this IG player since Brother Ming hasn¡¯t taken any damage yet, of course, it only looks that way."


    Isn¡¯t that so? The last remaining IG player, who seemed to have all the advantages, did just as everyone expected and came out to engage Jiang Siming when he rushed to the close point. But Jiang Siming used just a bit of evasive movement to dodge the large burst of bullets he had been preparing, and in the end, he only hit Jiang Siming twice.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s 4x SCAR-L finished him off decisively!


    "¡¾Traveling Frog Brother¡¿ has gifted 100 Super Rockets to ¡¾Mings live stream!"


    "¡¾Traveling Frog Brother¡¿ has gifted 20 Spaceships to ¡¾Mings live stream!"


    Even though IG was completely down, Principal Wang still generously gifted three hundred thousand units to Jiang Siming. Many viewers admired and respected Principal Wang¡¯s generosity.


    "Principal Wang is awesome!"


    "Principal Wang is majestic! This move is so gentlemanly!"


    "Since God Ming isn¡¯t here, we¡¯ll thank Principal Wang for his gift on his behalf, kisses~"


    "Principal Wang, you must come to support God Ming at his fan festival tomorrow~"


    "Principal Wang, save your gifts for the fan festival~"...


    Normally, Principal Wang wouldn¡¯t respond to the audience¡¯s comments, but this time he surprisingly sent a comment.


    ¡¾Traveling Frog Brother¡¿: I will definitely be at the fan festival. As soon as this comment appeared, Jiang Siming¡¯s fan club was very excited; with the support of President Wang, it would be interesting to see how those repulsive talent agencies could still be so smug!

 Chapter 222: Raising Him

    Jiang Siming was in battle, unaware that Zhao Xuan was also fighting for him. At this moment, in the conference room of Douyu Corporation, all the shareholders were present. As the CEO, Zhao Xuan sat at the head of the conference table, while the shareholders below looked at her with various expressions, but most chose to remain silent.


    "The agenda for today¡¯s meeting has only one point: I demand that the platform clears out these talent agencies. These agencies, relying on contracts with our platform, act recklessly, manipulate the pace, and arbitrarily support their affiliated streamers. I believe you all should know about this, and I have mentioned it many times over the past few years. Today, I will say it again," Zhao Xuan said with a serious face.


    As soon as she finished speaking, one of the shareholders below spoke up.


    "We are aware of this issue, and it is indeed excessive, but a complete cleanup is too much. A critique or a warning would suffice."


    "Right, why not target a single agency for a lesson? That might make General Manager Zhao feel better."


    "Although these talent agencies have many problems, they bring in significant profits for our platform."


    ...


    Hearing their words, Zhao Xuan¡¯s face turned cold instantly.


    "I am not consulting with you. As the CEO and a shareholder of Douyu Company, I now strictly order the cleanup of all talent agencies with horrible behavior, and the cessation of selling fish wings in large quantities at low prices. In the future, when any talent agency buys fish wings, we can offer at most a 10% discount."


    A 10% discount?


    "This is out of the question. Who would buy at a 10% discount?"


    "Indeed, these talent agencies always place orders worth millions or tens of millions, taking advantage of our discounts of 20% to 30%. If it¡¯s a 10% discount, they definitely won¡¯t agree."


    With a wave of her hand, Zhao Xuan showed her generosity. She was worried that Jiang Siming would suffer a loss during the Fan Festival. As the woman behind Jiang Siming, she didn¡¯t want him to be bullied by those brokerage companies. With the lowest contract rate and internal pricing, Zhao Xuan¡¯s ten million bought three hundred million worth of fish fins for the company!


    Other brokerage companies could buy at most fifty to sixty million fish fins with ten million, but Zhao Xuan managed to secure three hundred million. At this moment, Zhao Xuan just wanted to say to those streamers who rely on their agency companies: You brush a million, I¡¯ll brush ten million; you brush ten million, I¡¯ll brush a hundred million! Jiang Siming was completely unaware of this, still buried in the map of PUBG, unaware that his woman was preparing to ¡¯support him financially¡¯...


    "Picked up 1 red fragment of [Cantonese Proficiency] (1/1), fragment count is full, can be used directly."


    "Picked up 1 gold fragment of [Shanghai Xujiahui Gucci Flagship Store] (2/3), fragment count is not full, cannot be used temporarily."


    Cantonese Proficiency? Jiang Siming didn¡¯t expect there would be a dialect like Cantonese Proficiency, but since it only requires one fragment, it¡¯s quite a good deal. It would be very convenient for traveling to Guangdong or Hong Kong in the future, or for singing Cantonese songs. After picking up the fragment, the bounty for the Butcher was already gone, and each game only allowed ten kills. Jiang Siming was quite satisfied with the over four million he had earned. The IG player who was blown down was wearing a brand new Level 3 armor, while Jiang Siming¡¯s was almost worn out, just in time for a replacement.


    He refilled his health and injected a ¡¯happiness needle,¡¯ which was adrenaline. There were too many drinks; if Jiang Siming picked them all up, he could fill three or four Level 3 backpacks. Jiang Siming never really cared much about drinks, so he only carried two painkillers and two Cokes. If it were a regular player, they would definitely stuff a dozen or more drinks, as if they feared running out of water (crying laughter). With his health fully restored, Jiang Siming propped up the motorcycle, straddled it, and revved the throttle, heading towards the airport bridge.


    The reason he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to cross the bridge was that his comrades were guarding the mountain top on the other side of the bridge. Just now, a squad wanted to block the bridge, but after being shot a few times by Wei Shen and his team on the mountain, they immediately ran away, even giving up one of their team members in the process.


    "You¡¯ve finally come back, we¡¯ve been guarding the bridge for you for half a day." Wei Shen said, trying to take credit.


    "Alright, thank you, big bro." Jiang Siming went along with his words.


    "Haha, no need, no need, just calling me big bro already makes me very satisfied." Wei Shen laughed heartily. Currently, their team¡¯s score has already reached 17 points. Even if they don¡¯t kill anyone from now on, as long as they rank a bit higher, the score for this round will definitely be within the top three. The safe zone has already moved to the third wave, and Jiang Siming still doesn¡¯t plan to join Wei Shen and his team on the mountaintop.


    Instead, he chooses to block the bridge. Unfortunately, the teams now are all very cunning and don¡¯t walk on the bridge at all. Most of them are looking for boats. Jiang Siming waited until the fourth wave of the safe zone, but still didn¡¯t see anyone. When the fifth wave of the safe zone was announced, Wei Shen¡¯s mountaintop was no longer a safe area. The safe zone appeared behind the airport on the cliff. There are currently 9 teams and 47 people left in the game. All the top-tier squads are still in play, and Team 17 and OMG are even fully staffed.

 Chapter 223: You Should Fly Solo

    This time, an emerging team stood out, the WB team formed by Sina Corporation, also known as the Weibo team. This team has already eliminated 7 players, showing great strength and receiving unanimous praise from the commentators in the live broadcast room. The SJ team led by Gu Cun also performed well, with a high score.


    In a competition, fresh blood needs to be injected; there is pressure where there is competition. Of course, this is indeed true for the entire region. The 4am team started to change their position, with Wang Doyu driving the car to take the lead in exploring the way ahead. Generally, a team must have a ¡¯scout¡¯ to explore and obtain field information. This task is very dangerous because you never know when four guns might suddenly open fire from the side. If they are sweeping you from a close range, even Jiang Siming¡¯s driving skills cannot avoid it. Although his driving skills are top-notch, when people are very close to you and four guns are sweeping towards you, it is impossible to maneuver.


    Therefore, Wei Shen and the others would never assign this task to Jiang Siming; it would be like using a cannon to swat a fly. Just as he finished saying that this ¡¯job position¡¯ was dangerous, Wang Doyu encountered enemy ambush fire ahead. Under the sweeping fire of four rifles, the car became a sieve in less than three seconds and exploded on the spot. Mr. Doyu died a violent death, and 4am officially lost a member.


    This is a normal phenomenon during the team¡¯s movement; although Doyu died, it allowed the entire 4am team to avoid the risk of large-scale attrition or even total annihilation. Therefore, Wang Douyu¡¯s sacrifice was very meaningful.


    "Shall we go?" Wei Shen said.


    "Go my ass, fight, to avenge Doyu." Under the banner of avenging his brother, Jiang Siming got out of the car boldly. Wei Shen was caught between laughter and tears, knowing that this guy was definitely making an excuse, but he had spoken with such righteousness.


    How could he refuse at this moment? Wouldn¡¯t that mean he didn¡¯t want to avenge his brother at all? Old Jiang, what a prick, always putting people in a bind!


    The three quickly dispersed, and Jiang Siming¡¯s motorcycle was the first to reach the "crime scene." Just when he arrived, he saw someone licking Wang Douyu¡¯s backpack.


    "Douyu, you¡¯re really pitiful, they¡¯re doing this to your body even when you¡¯re dead."


    This person was lying down while licking the backpack, making it look as though he was doing something unspeakable to Wang Douyu¡¯s body, commonly known as: taking advantage of the situation.


    "Scram! Brother Jiang, your mind is too dirty!" Wang Douyu quickly stopped him, having nearly created a vivid image, which was embarrassing.


    "Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯ll avenge you. This prick is already dead." Jiang Siming¡¯s lips curved slightly, and he stopped the motorcycle behind a rock. He had already taken out his 98k when he got off.


    "Stop muttering, I¡¯ll pull you up, let¡¯s hurry and leave, I think they are about to overwhelm us." Another one fell.


    One person had to go and help, so WE was left with only one person guarding the area. Given 4AM¡¯s style, they were definitely coming.


    "They¡¯re here! I can¡¯t hold them off alone!" the remaining member shouted. The other three were completely panicked, and they were all inside the house. In FPP mode, hiding in the house not only doesn¡¯t help in controlling the point but also drastically limits the view and puts them in a very passive position.


    The member who was controlling the point had no choice but to jump out of the window and try to control the fence, but while he was climbing down from the window, he was riddled with bullets by Jiang Siming¡¯s 4x SCAR-L. He had been watching the whole time, with an extremely fast reaction speed that allowed him to complete this operation. Well, another one down. For the remaining enemy, Wei Shen and Xiaomuxi each tossed in two grenades, ending the battle.


    But Jiang Siming still killed three of them; the one on the second floor who never got helped up also died, so it still counted as his.


    "Old Jiang, you should let us have a few kills; it feels really bad to look at our stats," Wei Shen remarked. He had only killed two so far, Xiaomuxi 1, and Wang Duoyu 1, while Jiang Siming had 17 kills. The contrast was too painful. It felt like Jiang Siming could run his own team and play solo...


    "Tell me, which one of those headshots did I intentionally steal?" Jiang Siming asked with confidence. Wei Shen was momentarily speechless; it was true, from beginning to end, Jiang Siming had never stolen their headshots; instead, they had been the ones trying to steal his.


    "I think you flying solo is absolutely a brilliant move. Keep it up in the next round. The three of us might get even more headshots." Wei Shen said with a laugh.


    He regretted going to the airport with Jiang Siming; otherwise, their performance wouldn¡¯t have been so poor. The main reason was that Jiang Siming was just too fast at killing. Once he spotted an enemy, they usually died after just a few shots, especially with his 98k, which only took one bullet. It wasn¡¯t like them, who had to engage in several rounds with the enemy before possibly taking them down.


    This time, the three loot drops didn¡¯t yield any fragments, and Jiang Siming felt a bit disappointed, but he was still quite satisfied. So far, he had already obtained six fragments. One shouldn¡¯t be too greedy, right? The battle ended, and instead of looting the bodies, Jiang Siming ran back to get the car.


    Vehicles were a very important strategic resource and couldn¡¯t be discarded casually. Wei Shen also went to fetch a car, while Xiaomu, who was a bit indecisive about which gun to switch to, was still focused on looting. He didn¡¯t know that four figures were quietly creeping into the area behind them, carefully timing their steps.

 Chapter 224: Got Screwed

    Jiang Siming and Wei Shen had just got in the car when they heard gunshots coming from the housing area.


    "Player [SJ_gu] used M416 to knock down player [4am_cpt]."


    "Damn! Someone¡¯s coming in! Don¡¯t come over, they have us pinned down!" Xiao Simu shouted immediately. Jiang Siming and Wei Shen both turned the steering wheel sharply, turning the car around. Just as they turned, four figures appeared from outside the wall and opened heavy fire on Jiang Siming and Wei Shen.


    Because the distance was too close, and Wei Shen was driving a jeep, he became the first target of the four and was quickly taken down. Jiang Siming, on the other hand, managed to escape with only two bullets, thanks to being on a motorcycle. This sudden turn of events shocked the audience, who didn¡¯t expect the SJ team to sneak into the housing area from behind. Coincidentally, Jiang Siming had gone to get the car and couldn¡¯t hear the footsteps inside, giving them the perfect opportunity to ambush.


    Fortunately, Xiao Simu was able to report the location after being knocked down in the housing area; otherwise, if he had come to get the car with them, the three would have had no time to react.


    "The SJ team is too sly!" Little Dumb Sister defended her boyfriend¡¯s team.


    "It is a bit underhanded; now 4am is in a precarious position, with only Ming God left, and his health is only half. There are many teams nearby, and if he¡¯s spotted, it will be hard for him to escape." Pigff also began to worry.


    Moreover, after knocking down Wei Shen and Xiao Simu, SJ didn¡¯t finish them off but started throwing incendiary grenades at Wei Shen, burning him alive in the open field, even though they could have finished him with a single shot. Xiao Simu, who was in the housing area, fared even worse, being finished off with a frying pan by Gu Cun.


    This was clearly a deliberate humiliation! The audience could all see it.


    "Damn it! This orphan is really fucking dirty!"


    "The bastard dog must be intentionally retaliating."


    "This kind of small-minded person is really disgusting."


    With nothing but smoke grenades and no visibility, Jiang Siming fired a shot in that direction. But something miraculous happened; the most forward and cocky Gu Cun was really taken down by Jiang Siming¡¯s one shot! Oh my! This shot made all the audience widen their eyes in disbelief. To hit with a blind shot, it¡¯s just too amazing! Is this really not wallhacking?


    "Ming God probably remembered Gu Cun¡¯s position before the smoke spread, so he hit with one shot. It must be said, this shot had a lot of luck involved," Pigff¡¯s explanation made sense.


    Gu Gun, if you can remember the position, hitting it is quite normal. However, taking down one is no use, SJ still has three members.


    "Don¡¯t pull me yet, if you pull me, we will have one less person to cover him. Take him down first, then pull me!" Gu Cun never thought Jiang Siming could hit him even in this situation, but he was not discouraged. He wasn¡¯t dead yet, so what was there to be afraid of!


    "You, Jiang Siming, will die today, whether I kill you or my teammates will. After you¡¯re dead, I¡¯ll dance on your corpse and desecrate it!" The defeated Gu Cun was in a terrible mood and had already started planning how to humiliate Jiang Siming.


    Afraid that Jiang Siming would fire more neural shots, the remaining three all hide behind the wall, so Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t fire two more shots from the smoke grenade. Seeing the smoke screen was about to dissipate, Jiang Siming no longer stayed behind the rock but rushed towards the building area.


    The three covered their positions, and Jiang Siming knew that even if he could instantly take down two, the other could still finish him off. Not to mention his Level 3 armor had just been taken off, and he would die with just three hits. So Jiang Siming going over there was just asking for it, but before he did, he had to annoy the other side.


    "Ming God is planning to go all out, makes sense. Taking down one more will be a release of anger," Pigff said.


    "A despicable team, a pack of jackals, what¡¯s the point if such a team wins the game? No one will like that kind of team!" Little Dumb Sister was still angry on behalf of her man.


    But she also knew that this match was probably over. However, from Jiang Siming¡¯s perspective, they noticed that when he ran over, he didn¡¯t draw his gun but pulled out a grenade from his pocket. When he was almost at the midpoint, Jiang Siming started to unbutton his pants and then charged towards the house area.


    He was too fast, and by the time the sound of his footsteps reached them, the three SJ members were just starting to warn each other and position themselves to shoot. But by then, Jiang Siming had already rushed into the compound!

 Chapter 225: Human Bomb Jiang Siming!

    The three immediately raised their guns to fire. Just as one shot hit, the thunder in Jiang Siming''s hand exploded with a loud bang. The two SJ team members who were closest were blown down on the spot, and Gu Cun was right by Jiang Siming''s feet. He could only watch helplessly as Jiang Siming approached with the grenade, his eyes filled with fear and despair, struggling desperately to crawl away. But it was futile, he was also blown up. Since he was already hit, the explosion finished him off.


    "Player [4am_ming] used a grenade to knock down player [SJ_KK]"


    "Player [4am_ming] used a grenade to knock down player [SJ_123]"


    "Player [4am_ming] used a grenade to kill player [SJ_gu]"


    "Player [4am_ming] used a grenade to kill player [4am_ming]"


    Four messages popped up. SJ watched helplessly as Jiang Siming finished off Gu Cun and blew up two of their team members. What was even more infuriating was that Jiang Siming was killed by his own grenade, so his kill didn''t count toward their score, but Jiang Siming got a point instead. Experience tales with empire


    A four-on-one, with an absolute advantage, yet they didn''t gain any benefit, being bested by a human bomb.


    Anger! So much anger!


    The four members of SJ were almost ready to explode with rage, especially Gu Cun, who was about to smash his computer. Just moments ago, they had sworn to fully humiliate Jiang Siming, believing victory was in their grasp, but they were still outplayed by him.


    But the fact was right there before their eyes. Fortunately, Jiang Siming didn''t blow up all three of them; otherwise, SJ would have been wiped out by Jiang Siming in one go.


    The last surviving member was a bit further away, out of range of Jiang Siming''s grenade. Otherwise, a one-for-four trade would have been a huge profit. However, they haven''t lost much, considering that with the two kills of Wei Shen and Xingmu, 4am has only lost one head. Moreover, this morale blow is much more satisfying than their ambush tactics. Wei Shen and Xingmu were so excited that they jumped up from their chairs.


    "Hahaha, amazing, amazing! Old Jiang, this move is so relieving!"


    "Killing Gu Cun this scumbag, their team''s strength drops a lot. No chicken for them, hahaha."


    "Your team helped us a lot at the FGS, I''ve been looking for an opportunity to thank you, this time it''s better to encounter than to wait, let''s go together?" 17shou enthusiastically said to Jiang Siming.


    "Sure, let''s go." Jiang Siming readily agreed.


    The two teams walked together, planning to leave the venue to have dinner. Just happened to pass by SJ''s territory, Jiang Siming''s eyes lit up, and he suddenly shouted at Wei God, "Wei, I ask you, the red Ferrari that I won from someone, you only sold it for over a million. Did you pocket the difference?"


    Wei Shen was stunned at first, but seeing Jiang Siming''s gaze, he instantly understood.


    "Oh! You''re talking about that. No, I didn''t. The car, they said, was only worth a little over a million. They wouldn''t give an extra cent. I saw there was no one else interested, so I sold it to them as scrap metal."


    "Forget it, forget it. Although over a million is a bit less, it was free to begin with. Awei, you treat today, and I''ll treat the day after tomorrow''s match. Don''t worry, this money is easily made, I can spend it freely!"


    "No problem, then we''ll come to the match the day after tomorrow with empty stomachs. I heard you guys ran into a team of old scoundrels today. Too bad, tonight we''ll treat you, so eat your fill."


    17shou wasn''t afraid of offending SJ. He never liked people like Gu Cun anyway. So what if he offended them? Hahahaha. The eight of them laughed.


    "You bitch..." Only Gu Cun gritted his teeth, fists clenched, wishing he could punch each of them.


    But thinking about his small build, he knew he couldn''t beat any of them. So, he decided not to use force. He would wait until the second match the day after tomorrow to deal with these two teams!


    "Just you wait, in the next match, I''ll make you cry terribly!" Gu Cun swore fervently.


    Yeah, another vow. The heavens must be used to him spouting nonsense by now.

 Chapter 226: Yun’er Can Play Fight the Landlord Now

    After having dinner with the 17 team, Jiang Siming immediately went home. There were three wives waiting for him at home. If it wasn''t for the social engagements, who would want to wander outside? When he got home, the living room light was still on. As soon as Jiang Siming went in, he heard the cheerful voices of three women.


    "Bomb! I''ll double, Sister Zhirou~"


    "Oh, how can you still have a bomb? I thought Yuner''s bomb was the only one."


    "Hehe, Zhirou, the two of us peasants are about to beat you, the landlord!"


    The three were sitting on the sofa in the living room, their little feet curled up like old ladies underneath, playing cards happily.


    Who knew how Ling Yun''er learned this special skill of the Chinese people so quickly, she even knew how to play Landlord, quite impressive. When Jiang Siming came in, the three had just finished a round. Seeing their beloved man had come back, they lost interest in playing cards.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    "Senior Brother, you''re back? Did you eat enough for dinner? Do you need me to make you a little more?"


    Jiang Siming had already informed them that he wouldn''t be coming back for dinner, Wang Xinyi was worried he hadn''t eaten enough outside.


    "No, I''m already very full. It''s just that the dishes didn''t suit my taste. You''ve spoiled me," Jiang Siming replied.


    Wang Xinyi was naturally delighted to hear this. Her cooking had won her man''s heart, which made her happier than becoming a Michelin chef.


    "You''re back!" Yin Zhirou and Ling Yun''er called out in unison, then the two women looked at each other and burst into laughter, covering their mouths.


    Jiang Siming placed the car keys on the coffee table, sitting between the three women, he first asked Ling Yuner with a smile: "Do you know how to play ''Fight the Landlord''? When did you learn it?"


    As he spoke, Jiang Siming turned off the lights downstairs and ran upstairs.


    Once upstairs, he found that Yuner and Zhirou had gone to sleep in one room and had locked the door.


    Their meaning was very clear; they had already chosen tonight''s sleeping partner.


    "Hehe, Xinyi, your senior brother is here."


    Jiang Siming pushed open Xinyi''s bedroom door with a sly look, and it was indeed not locked.


    Wang Xinyi, who had just applied some moisturizer to her skin, saw Jiang Siming like she saw a big bad wolf and quickly buried herself in the blanket. Jiang Siming''s several girlfriends, only Wang Xinyi has short hair, and it''s that BOBO style, allowing her smooth, flawless neck and small ears to be easily seen.


    Jiang Siming has a taste for both long and short hair; some boys like long hair, some boys like short-haired girls. Jiang Siming is great, he likes them all, as long as they are beautiful.


    At noon the next day, Douyu welcomed this year''s Fan Festival event. A leaderboard page was added to each streamer''s live broadcast room, where fans could freely check the potential value of their favorite streamer. The "potential value" is the conversion of the gifts received by the streamer; the more gifts, the higher the potential value.


    It''s not just about sending money to get potential value; the daily refreshed light sticks and free small gifts can also increase potential value. However, these increases are minimal, far less than those from big gifts. The ratio of potential value to gifts is 10:1; a 100-yuan plane can increase by 1000 potential values. A 500-yuan rocket can increase by 5000 potential values, a super rocket by 20000 yuan, and a spaceship by a full 50000.


    The Fan Festival is divided into three rounds, and all streamers can participate, but in the first round, the top twenty from each category will be determined. For example, the LOL, PUBG, single-player, DNF, looks, and outdoor categories. The top 20 streamers with the highest potential value in the first round of each category will advance to the second round. The second round will be more intense, with only the top six from each category advancing.


    The final round will be a struggle among the top six from all categories, to determine the top ten; only the top ten streamers will receive the honor and various benefits awarded by Douyu, and the higher the ranking, the better the benefits and rewards. Not only will they receive a substantial cash prize, but they will also get a homepage recommendation for one to two months, a colorful fan badge, and unique features exclusive to their live broadcast room, such as special chat messages and exclusive gifts, as well as a dedicated colorful page, etc. In short, the benefits are very generous, but only the top ten can enjoy them.

 Chapter 227: Douyu Fan Festival

    In the past, it was easier to make it into the top ten during the Fan Festival, but with the growth and listing of the Douyu platform, if you want to be in the top ten during the Fan Festival, you need a substantial financial backing; don''t harbor unrealistic hopes without it.


    Last year during Douyu''s Fan Festival, even Dashima, with over a million fans, didn''t make it into the Thanks to the support of his fans, although they did contribute a lot, he was still outperformed by a small streamer from the appearance section. The other party only had a few hundred fan badges, while Laoma had tens of thousands, yet he still couldn''t surpass them, which was quite ironic.


    Therefore, at the time, the fans were very contemptuous of these agencies and guilds because what they did was truly disgusting and fake. Today is the first round of Fan Day, lasting only one day, during which it will be seen whether everyone''s potential values can make it into the top twenty. So today is the day when all streamers start broadcasting the earliest and there are the most simultaneous broadcasts. The earlier and longer they stream, the more gifts they naturally receive, even if they are small gifts. Many streamers plan to stream all night today, pushing themselves to the limit, just to advance.


    From midnight, the potential value rankings have been rising continuously. The four largest competitive sections, the first is LOL, the second is PUBG, which is the most popular section after all. The third is the outdoor section, and the fourth, rather laughably, is the appearance section. In the PUBG section, major game streamers have already gone live, and the big streamers have started to receive a lot of gifts; these are mostly sent spontaneously by fans, with very few deliberately boosting their scores. The top twenty rankings have now appeared.


    NO.1, ¡¾Tuantuan¡¿ Potential Value: 1,034,841 points.


    NO.2, ¡¾Dumb Little Sister¡¿ Potential Value: 957,842 points.


    NO.3, ¡¾17_shou¡¿ Potential Value: 824,518 points.


    NO.4, ¡¾XueMM¡¿ Potential Value: 745,128 points.


    NO.5, ¡¾XDD¡¿ Potential Value: 718,710 points.


    NO.6, ¡¾Pigff¡¿ Potential Value: 685,780 points.


    NO.7... This was just after two hours of the start of Fan Day, and the fans of major streamers had already given their streamers tens of thousands of yuan worth of gifts. The current leader is Tuantuan, with a gift harvest of over 100,000, but the gap with those behind isn''t much, only two or three thousand, making it quite easy to surpass. As for why Jiang Siming isn''t on the list, it''s because he hasn''t started broadcasting...


    The rules for the fan festival leaderboard state that broadcasters need to be live and receive gifts for these to count as potential points. So, Jiang Siming''s fans are already shouting in the live room to open up.


    "Open the door, open the door! The community is here to bring warmth!"


    "Still, my Sister Xue has the most fans. We are definitely going to win the first place!"


    "Dreaming a bit too much, Ming God hasn''t even started streaming yet."


    "Ming God hasn''t started streaming even now. It''s impossible for him to climb to the top in less than five hours, right?"


    "He can probably only make it to the top five. After all, it''s the first round. The big spenders aren''t dumb; it''s enough to just advance to the next round."....


    Xiao Mei, who had already secured the first place, also had a proud smile on her face. Although her popularity this year was not as high as that of other new PUBG streamers, in terms of experience and reputation, she was still at the top. She originally thought she would have a close competition for the first place with Jiang Siming, but unexpectedly, Jiang Siming didn''t start streaming for half a day. In her mind, even if Jiang Siming started streaming, he wouldn''t surpass her.


    In the first round, no big spender would come out; they usually shower gifts during the second and third rounds. That''s when things get the most intense and exciting. It was still too early. However, she completely overlooked one point: she had only 50,000 fan cards, while Jiang Siming had over 2 million. Just as she was thinking this, the fans started sending a flurry of comments.


    "Ming God has started streaming!"


    "This guy finally started streaming!"


    "I have to go check it out."


    "Go, go, go, let''s go observe the enemy, but everyone, remember, don''t brush gifts!"


    "I promise to only watch and not brush a single cent. Ming God won''t get a single penny from me."....


    Hearing that Jiang Siming had started streaming, Xiao Mei suddenly had a bad feeling. Explore stories on empire

 Chapter 228: First in Half an Hour!

    Xue Meimei, although it was impossible for her to put on a show and watch Jiang Siming''s live stream, her own live stream did have a leaderboard. She could check the leaderboard to know how Jiang Siming was doing. After half an hour, Xue Meimei pretended to look at the leaderboard inconspicuously, but there was no sign of Jiang Siming in the top twenty.


    Xue Meimei secretly chuckled, it seemed safe, Jiang Siming was just average, after half an hour, he still hadn''t made it into the top twenty. But then she realized that her live stream might be buffering, and when she clicked on other interfaces, it indeed was. She quickly tapped the refresh button, and the page updated, finally revealing the true state of the leaderboard. When she looked again, she was stunned.


    NO.1, [Ming] Potential Value: 75,170,048 points. "!!!!!!"


    Xue Meimei''s eyes widened, her expression as if she had seen Sadako, utterly terrified. What is this? This much? Tens, hundreds, thousands... ten million! Ten million potential value, which means Jiang Siming had received over 7 million gifts. And that was just in half an hour. Could this be a humanly possible achievement? And the potential value was still rising rapidly, showing no signs of stopping.


    Jiang Siming''s potential value data increased like a magic trick, jumping every few seconds, which was quite scary. Xue Meimei couldn''t hold back anymore; she thought for sure that some big tycoon must have made their move early! Maybe it was Wang Headmaster showing support. When she clicked to see, Xue Meimei didn''t see a flood of individual gifts. In Ming''s live stream, gifts were indeed flying everywhere, but they weren''t from one or a few people. They were from countless different IDs of fans in the live stream, and the most common weren''t rockets or spaceships, but fluorescent sticks and free small gifts sent by the fans.


    These gifts were all given for free, with very little potential value added, but due to their incredibly large quantity, they accounted for nearly a third of these more than 7 million potential values! The majority of the rest were just from card subscriptions, followed by planes, and even rockets, but super rockets and spacecraft were not numerous, even less than what she received in her live broadcast room. This was absolutely not due to a company or a big spender gifting, but purely from the fans sending small tokens of appreciation.


    But it was these small gifts that boosted Jiang Siming''s live broadcast room potential value to 70 million! Sister Xue felt her scalp tingle. She had originally been quite proud, confident that she would definitely be number one, but the reality hit her hard and made her understand what it truly meant. Only then did she realize what 2 million fan badges meant. These fans did not usually cluster to send gifts, so Jiang Siming did not have a rough estimate of the gifts he received, and other streamers were also unaware. But today was Fan Day, and the fans naturally came together to support their streamer.


    These more than 2 million fan badges represented over 2 million users who had given Jiang Siming at least one card in the past. Added to this were the users who had never given gifts before but were willing to do so for Jiang Siming this time. Combined, these forces completely stunned the other streamers.


    "Got to go, can''t mess with this."


    Sister Xue immediately logged out of Jiang Siming''s live broadcast room, sighing, "This is the most intense Fan Day I''ve ever seen. If it comes to a real competition, I feel that even ten management companies combined couldn''t match him."


    The fans in Sister Xue''s live broadcast room also returned dejectedly. Explore more adventures at empire


    "The blow I''ve taken in the past half hour is worse than my college entrance exam failure."


    "Relax, with us here, Teacher Piao, you will definitely be first!"...


    Seeing the fans'' reassurances, PDD regained his confidence.


    "Alright, with your words, I''m ready to go all out. In the third round, I''ll use all the gift income I received this year for this fan festival and fight for the first place!"


    PDD has always been generous, and he doesn''t hesitate when it comes to spending money. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have spent nearly 10 million on a single broadcast day to level up to the maximum. It''s the same on Xuxubao''s side, where the fans all expressed that the real battle hasn''t started yet and urged him to relax.


    The fan festival might as well be called a war between different zones and fans. This large-scale battle where both streamers and fans participate can easily stimulate the fans'' desire to spend. After more than two hours of intense gift bombardment, Jiang Siming''s live stream finally quieted down.


    The pace of gift-giving has slowed down significantly, and the main group of gift-giving fans has finished their spree. Although the number is still increasing rapidly, it has already reached a peak, and there won''t be much more room for further growth.


    NO.1, ¡¾Ming¡¿ has a potential value of 110 million.


    Fans have sent more than ten million gifts. It looks exaggerated, but if you calculate it, it''s quite normal. Excluding the potential value increase from free gifts, even if it''s only counted as twenty million. There''s still 90 million in gift potential value, which is 9 million yuan in gifts.


    The fan club has over two million members, and if only half of them sent gifts, each sending a card worth 6 yuan, that would be 6 million yuan. Even those who haven''t sent gifts yet, just sending a few, could easily add up to three million. Plus, a single airplane or rocket gift can be worth dozens of cards, so the data isn''t that exaggerated when you break it down. Winning the first round in the zone is a lock. Jiang Siming was initially taken aback by the fans'' enthusiasm and took a long time to gradually adapt.


    "Thank you all for the gifts; there are just too many to thank individually. At the end of today, I''ll sing a new song for everyone, as it''s the only way I can show my gratitude." Jiang Siming said earnestly.


    In fact, when he first started streaming, he never imagined it would reach this level. At most, he hoped to become a top-tier streamer, with a few tens of thousands of viewers each day, which would have been enough for him. But the success of this job far exceeded his expectations, and it''s the most fulfilling job he''s had in many years.

 Chapter 229: Cantonese Song?

    Today in the live stream, Jiang Siming didn''t even play much Chicken Dinner. Because when playing Chicken Dinner, he wouldn''t have time to watch the chat or chat with his fans. He usually wouldn''t watch the chat when he played games. Today was Fans'' Day, and since it was a day for the fans, of course, he should spend good time with them.


    So today, Jiang Siming didn''t play Chicken Dinner but instead played a game of Fight the Landlord with Dumb Little Sister and Tuantuan! That''s right, three top streamers from Douyu played Fight the Landlord together. Playing Fight the Landlord doesn''t require constant focus on the screen, allowing for a relaxed atmosphere and chatting with fans. This was also the second game Jiang Siming played in his live streams, and the audience jokingly said they were lucky to witness this scene in their lifetimes.


    "Three 2s and a pair of As, want?" Jiang Siming had a very good hand this round and was the landlord, bullying the two girls at will.


    "That''s too much, bomb him, Dumb Dumb!" Tuanyuan said angrily.


    "Alright, four Js!" Dumb Dumb didn''t even think and threw them over.


    "Thanks for the double from Dumb Dumb, two Kings, I''m out." Jiang Siming clicked the mouse, throwing out his last two cards.


    "Oops, I forgot he called double."


    "Me too."


    "We have to stick notes again, wailing..."


    "I even have to scold myself as a pig, sniffling."


    The stakes for their game of Fight the Landlord were for Dumb Dumb and Jiang Siming to stick notes on their faces, while Tuantuan, who didn''t like showing her face, chose to scold herself...


    Currently, Dumb Dumb had the most notes on her face, almost covering her entire face, while Jiang Siming only had two. He had won the most, and his luck with the cards was quite good today. However, the three of them weren''t fully focused on the game and were mostly chatting with each other. Jiang Siming rarely talked to them except for playing games with them.


    Of course, it couldn''t all be blamed on Jiang Siming; the two of them also had their streaming work and indeed had little time. Today, I finally got the chance, so the two girls weren''t really focused on the game, otherwise they wouldn''t have lost so much. Jiang Siming''s way of chatting with them actually indirectly brought them a lot of flow and popularity.


    "The song today is called ''Mask,'' it''s a Cantonese song, okay." This was also something Jiang Siming impulsively wanted to sing; he had just obtained the "Cantonese Proficiency" fragment yesterday and was eager to try how it would sound singing Cantonese as an inland person. When they heard it was a Cantonese song, the audience was a bit confused¡ªwhat''s going on, is Ming God from Guangdong? But why didn''t Jiang Siming have any trace of a Cantonese accent?


    Regardless of their surprise, everyone still wanted to listen first. Ming Shen''s first Cantonese song, it was unknown how it would compare to his Mandarin songs. The prelude''s notes were like the stern of a sunken ship hitting the water, producing a mesmerizing sound that tugged at the heart.


    Moved by this accompaniment, the audience didn''t even want to send comments, silently sitting in front of their computers or lying in bed with their phones. In this night, it seemed like everyone had lost their voices.


    "Dreams that were to be dreamed, but the passion gradually turns cold. Falling and passing through, one will understand, who is playing with the silence. Behind, there is a desire to go wild, but looking for a moment to indulge. Daring once like fighting terrorism, also tried being too impulsive..."


    It was a completely Cantonese singing style, with the entire lyrics sung in Cantonese. Many viewers couldn''t understand the lyrics and didn''t know if they were authentic, but in this live stream, there were also many viewers from Guangdong, and even some from Hong Kong.


    "This Cantonese is too pure! I can''t hear any Mandarin flavor at all."


    "At first, I thought it would be awkward, afraid he would sing in an unappealing way, but I didn''t expect it to sound so good!" "If Cantonese could be graded, I would give Ming God a level ten! He sings more standardly than we do in Guangdong!"


    "Is Ming God from Hong Kong? Why is his Cantonese our authentic Hong Kong pronunciation?"...


    Cantonese actually has different categories; the Cantonese in Guangdong and Hong Kong are quite different. Jiang Siming sang in the Hong Kong style of Cantonese. Unexpectedly, he won over the Hong Kong audience as soon as he opened his mouth. Together with the lyrics, it left nothing for the Cantonese and Hong Kong audience to criticize; it was entirely in the Cantonese style. The lyrics seemed to rhyme at all, but that''s only if you sing them in Mandarin.


    When sung in Cantonese, they fit perfectly, and there''s no sense of awkwardness.


    "Major events are not weighed by their severity, missing and regretting still requires a charge. Charging out of the predicament, the image is as valiant as a righteous warrior. But is there any communication for a ceasefire..."


    If it weren''t for the fact that no one had really heard this song before, everyone would have thought it was written by a famous Hong Kong lyricist. How can the lyrics be written so well, not to mention there''s not a hint of Chinese flavor, and it''s sung with such taste!

 Chapter 230: "The Mask" and "The Empress"

    Many audiences couldn''t understand the lyrics, but they fell in love with the song just by listening to the melody. Just like many people who know nothing about English; once they hear an English song, they fall in love with it, even though they can''t understand a single word of the lyrics.


    Therefore, music has no boundaries. Good songs, no matter what language they are in or where they come from, are still loved by everyone. And the best part of this song is just about to start...


    A slightly passionate voice suddenly ''exploded'' in the ears of every audience member, even the accompaniment became more fiery.


    "Like wearing a mask to conceal the fatigue, facing the artillery fire still wearing a relaxed expression, emotions should not be agitated, still lifting heavy like a feather to dissolve all pressure as if it had vanished..."


    This sudden chorus instantly ignited the fire in everyone''s heart, a surge of excitement to clench their fists tightly, a desire to sing aloud. Even the audience who couldn''t understand the lyrics could sense that the song was very inspiring, as if it was strongly encouraging everyone to do something. This spiritual connection tormented the ''dark side'' in people''s hearts, ''roasting'' it until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.


    Outside the study, three ''little tails'' had already sneaked in, hiding in a corner where Jiang Siming couldn''t see them, enjoying the live performance with full satisfaction.


    "I didn''t expect Oppa to sing so well~~~" Lin Yun''er looked at Jiang Siming beside the piano with starry eyes, feeling the charm of this Eastern man from another side, his excellence far exceeding her imagination. Although she couldn''t understand the Chinese lyrics, Lin Yun''er felt that this song was a hundred times better than the Korean songs sung by those sickly-sweet boy bands in her country!


    She believed that if the lyrics were erased and rewritten in Korean, the song would certainly become a hit in Korea as well! Moreover, Jiang Siming, who was playing the piano, was incredibly handsome. Lin Yun''er wished she could run over and give Jiang Siming a passionate kiss, becoming his little fan girl. This was also the first time Yin Zhirou heard Jiang Siming sing. She realized that a few songs she had heard online recently, all titled Jiang Siming, were said to be composed and written by a game streamer.


    At the time, she thought this streamer was truly talented, even more so than professional singers. Now she finally knew that this person... was her man!


    "Xin Yi, why didn''t you tell me earlier?" Yin Zhirou complained softly to Wang Xinyi.


    Wang Xinyi said with a smile, "I just wanted to give you a surprise. See, aren''t you super excited now?"


    Suddenly, Jiang Siming remembered that this song had a Mandarin version called "Empress of the Sky." He might as well play the Mandarin version for everyone at once. Many in the audience didn''t understand, but it was okay. Find your next read at empire


    "This song also has a Mandarin version called ''Queen of Heaven,'' which I''ll dedicate to everyone!" said Jiang Siming.


    After speaking, his fingers continued to dance over the black and white keys, singing "Queen of Heaven." The accompaniment was identical to "The Mask," except for the lyrics. However, "Queen of Heaven" presented a completely different artistic conception compared to "The Mask," yet it was equally beautiful, satisfying the audience''s ears and winning their hearts completely.


    "Tomorrow, I''ll record these two songs and upload them online. Alright, that''s all for today''s live stream, goodbye!" After singing the two songs, Jiang Siming quickly ended the live stream with no intention of sticking around to chat. The audience, having heard two new songs today, were quite content. Everyone eagerly awaited the UP owner to produce the edited versions of the songs to listen to them all night, then look forward to Jiang Siming releasing the official versions tomorrow. Just as he got up, Jiang Siming noticed three pretty girls standing in his room, smiling at him.


    "Hey, when did you all come in?" Jiang Siming asked, puzzled. He had been singing all along and didn''t notice anyone coming in.


    "We''ve been here for a while, ever since you started singing," Wang Xinyi said with a grin.


    "Oppa, your singing is so beautiful! Come be the main singer for our Girls'' Generation!" Jiang Siming''s face turned dark when he heard this, and he immediately went over and gave her a few smacks on the butt. What does it mean to be the main singer for Girls'' Generation? Damn, this idea seems not bad. Girls'' Generation are all beautiful, if I go...


    Cough, stop, I don''t want to be in a girl group!


    "Ouch, Oppa, you''re bullying me, I''m going to bite you, ah uw~"


    "If you dare to bite me, I''ll bite you too, I''ll bite your mouth!"


    "Mm~" Wang Xinyi and Yin Zhirou exchanged looks, covered their mouths, and quietly left the study. The atmosphere in the study changed instantly

 Chapter 231: Cold Upon Landing

    "Grass him..."


    Bang bang!


    Before Gu Cun could finish his sentence, Jiang Siming shot him twice.


    "Player [4am_ming] used S12K to eliminate player [SJ_gu]"


    It was quick and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. Only then did Gu Cun realize that the one who killed him was Jiang Siming.


    "It''s him! That damn bastard! Kill him!" Gu Cun flew into a rage.


    He was already furious at being singled out, and to find out that the one who killed him was Jiang Siming made his anger boil over. He was the one who died the fastest this round, and he didn''t even get a chance to do anything. Unable to respawn, Gu Cun could only direct his teammates to help him get revenge.


    The grudge from the previous game hadn''t been settled, and now Jiang Siming had another big score to settle with SJ. The audience was absolutely delighted.


    "Hahahaha, Gu Cun hits the ground and becomes a box, so good!"


    "You tried to ambush us last round, now let you know why the flowers are so red!"


    "Cool, cool, cool! Ming is awesome, kill all of SJ, don''t let them score a point!"


    "What great luck, Ming is solo and runs into SJ, and the first one he meets is Gu Cun, this is really fate."...


    The three members of SJ were a bit intimidated. They, of course, knew how strong Jiang Siming was. Their skills could only be considered average among professional players, and together they couldn''t match Jiang Siming. If Gu Cun were still around, they might have stood a chance, but since Gu Cun was the first to go, even with the three of them, they were still in a vast container area. If it were before, when Jiang Siming only had a rock for cover, they might have had a chance, but this time, Jiang Siming could freely play guerrilla tactics in the container.


    "This guy is too strong, let''s retreat, shall we?"


    The SJ player was relatively rational. But no sooner had he said it than he was berated by Gu Cun.


    "Get out of here! You three are afraid of just one person, this kind of game might as well go home and raise pigs!"


    When the smoke grenades go off, they have no vision either. Jiang Siming jumps out from a container, rushes right into their faces, and easily mops up the remaining two with an AK. This is the terrifying power of Jiang Siming with geographical advantage. Yesterday, he was really in a tight spot, hiding behind a rock, and he would be shot as soon as he showed himself. If he had a bit more cover yesterday, he could have easily taken out Gu Cun and his three teammates.


    After eliminating the entire SJ team, Jiang Siming immediately starts dancing on the spot, doing the CC dance. The audience is amused, but Gu Cun is furious.


    "Referee, this guy is humiliating others, aren''t you going to do anything about it?!" Gu Cun angrily questions the referee.


    The referee replied with a grim smile, "Does using a Molotov cocktail to burn people and then finishing them off with your fists count as humiliating them?"


    Gu Cun was momentarily speechless and turned his head away in a huff, clenching his mouse as if it had done him a great wrong.


    "I told you we should have left; he''s not someone we three can deal with," the SJ member who had argued with Gu Cun earlier chimed in.


    "That''s because you''re trash and get slaughtered like a pig!"


    "If you''re not trash, how did you get eliminated as soon as you landed? And you didn''t even want our help, thinking you were something special!"


    "F**k, say that again!" For a moment, Gu Cun and his teammate were about to come to blows.


    "What are you doing! Do you want to be disqualified?" The referee immediately scolded them.


    "Forget it, Gu Cun, Xiao Zhou, both of you should just shut up," the captain, feeling humiliated, hurriedly silenced them


    Although the two stopped arguing, the tension between them didn''t dissipate, and a clear rift appeared in the team. After dancing for a while, Jiang Siming had his fun and went over to pick up a piece of the fallen fragment.


    "Collected [20% shares of Huayi Brothers Media Group] Golden Fragment *1 (2/3); not enough fragments, temporarily unable to use."


    Excellent, just one more to go. Jiang Siming rummaged through the opponent''s gear, replacing the evil crossbow with a MINI14. It''s not that he didn''t want to use the crossbow; it''s just that it kills too slowly, and he had other business today, wanting to resolve this quickly.


    After collecting the equipment, Jiang Siming went back to find the box where Gu Cun was. There was also a fragment inside. At the time, Jiang Siming was afraid of being ambushed by his teammates, so he didn''t take it right away. It was also golden.

 Chapter 232: Each Has Its Own Merits

    Picked up 1 golden fragment of the ¡¾BMW X6 Crimson Queen Limited Edition¡¿ (1/2). The number of fragments is not enough, so it cannot be used yet. The BMW X6 is also a good car; it costs more than 1 million when fully equipped. Jiang Siming really likes the design of this car, especially the small raised rear and the streamlined body. He thinks it''s the coolest model in BMW''s SUV series.


    However, the crimson red color is too feminine, so Jiang Siming doesn''t plan to drive it himself. After collecting all the fragments, he will give it to his girlfriend. After receiving the BMW X6 fragment contributed by Gu Shaoye, Jiang Siming officially began to speed up the game''s pace. Since he now knows everyone''s positions, he doesn''t intend to waste any more time. After the match ends, he still needs to attend Jiang Lan''s birthday party.


    Tonight, he might be able to revisit Jiang Lan''s young and sexy body. Compared to Zhao Xuan, Jiang Lan wins in youth and a very good sense of style. Every time Jiang Siming sees her, she always brings a fresh surprise. This girl seems to be a born fashionista, and her clothing style and makeup type always earn her a lot of points in Jiang Siming''s eyes.


    When a woman is naturally beautiful and very good at dressing up, her appeal to men is indeed terrifying. Moreover, Jiang Lan''s figure is the best among Jiang Siming''s women, except for Zhao Xuan. Of course, if the bust is excluded, Lin Yun''er would surpass her. If evaluating the face, chest, and legs on a scale of 1 to 10, full score being 10: Zhao Xuan is 8/10/8, Lin Yun''er is 9/7/10, and Jiang Lan is 9/9/8.


    Of course, this is only a discussion about appearance and does not include aspects such as temperament. Each has their own strengths. Thinking about this, Jiang Siming couldn''t help but speed up a bit. He drove an AE86 out of the garage in Port N, stepped on the gas, and left Port N far behind. Jiang Siming directly crossed the bridge, didn''t even go to the airport, because there was no one at the airport. In fact, after Jiang Siming landed at the airport in the previous round, no team jumped there this time, fearing they might encounter 4am again.


    Who would have known that 4am jumped to the school this time, and Jiang Siming only jumped to N Harbor. Fortunately, he turned on the X-ray vision function; otherwise, if Jiang Siming had flown solo at the airport this round, it would have been too lonely, with no one around.


    There was no one on the bridge either, and he passed through smoothly. As soon as Jiang Siming crossed the bridge, he found a team in M City, which was from SC, the team he had faced in the strongest streamer competition before. The player he had faced was the only female player on the team, Mozi. Jiang Siming had some memory of her, but it didn''t mean he would show mercy just because they had faced each other before.


    The car stopped at a T-junction outside the bridge, and Jiang Siming pretended to be blocking people here, ''fake aiming'' a couple of times and ''accidentally'' discovered the people from M City. Well, Jiang Siming''s performance this time was very convincing; no one would suspect, and there was even less reason to doubt. The referee was standing right behind him; would Jiang Siming use cheats?No?v(el)B\\jnn


    That would be ridiculous. It''s just that Jiang Siming really did use cheats this time, but unfortunately, the technology on this planet couldn''t detect it at all. Discovering someone in M City, Jiang Siming didn''t shoot in advance but chose to quietly approach on foot. M City had many houses, and even if he could knock down the opponents, it was uncertain if he could finish them off, and besides, Jiang Siming wanted to speed up and not drag on.


    Carrying the AK, he stealthily approached the edge of M City. Since Jiang Siming was fully aware of everyone''s positions, he effortlessly bypassed all the lines of sight and quietly approached an SC team member. The AK in his hand mercilessly sprayed, turning the opponent into a sieve in an instant. Chen He, the owner of STC, who was watching the live stream, forced a bitter smile. He was the boss of this team and a major shareholder in the club. Seeing his team encounter Jiang Siming''s ambush, Chen He''s face seemed to already know the outcome.


    "Ha ha ha, Brother He, it looks like your team is done for this round." Lin Gengxin was also watching the live stream, and while he was in the middle of getting his makeup done for a shoot, he called Chen He to ''express concern''.


    "I have to go, the director is coming over to give me my lines, I''ll hang up first."


    ...


    Seeing their teammates being attacked, the other SC team members immediately went to support.


    However, with the cheat this time, Jiang Siming easily killed them one by one, including the female player Mozi. Mozi died again at the hands of Jiang Siming, feeling a bit dejected. This man kills her every time he sees her; it''s so ungentlemanly, QAQ...


    "Picked up [Archery Proficiency] red fragment *1 (3/3), fragment count is full, can be used directly."


    "Picked up [Shanghai Xujiahui Gucci Flagship Store] golden fragment *1 (3/3), fragment count is full, can be used directly."


    Another two fragments in hand, and the two fragments obtained from the previous one also completed the set. Jiang Siming was in a very good mood; the Gucci flagship store was now his. Gucci''s menswear seemed quite nice; he would go and grab a few boxes, a few pieces, cough, cough. Read new chapters at empire


    Leaving M City, Jiang Siming set off again. With the ''Heavenly Eye'' in his possession this time, Jiang Siming wouldn''t miss this great opportunity to collect fragments. He went everywhere there were people, killing anyone he saw instantly. In less than ten minutes, the poison circle had only started its third wave. Jiang Siming had already taken out five teams, securing a total of 20 kills.


    By the end of the match, 4am won the chicken dinner alone, and Jiang Siming''s kill count was as high as 33! Not only did this propel 4am to the top of the group, but it also broke the match kill record again. The previous record was also set by Jiang Siming at the FGS, with 18 kills. This time, he not only broke the record but exceeded it by 15 kills.


    Especially in the final circle, Jiang Siming was completely on a killing spree, charging at anyone he saw, always appearing behind the opponents, catching them off guard and killing them instantly. The audience was left speechless, wondering if Ming God rarely kills so many in regular matches? Were these teams all pigs today? Just letting Jiang Siming dominate them.

 Chapter 233: Horrific 33 Murders!

    33 heads, apart from the four fragments given by SJ and SC, Jiang Siming still managed to get 9 fragments. In total, he got 12 fragments this round. The harvest was incredibly rich; indeed, the more people you kill, the more fragments you naturally get. Although he wasted the profit from selling a game account worth several million, it was insignificant compared to the number of fragments. 9 fragments, 5 red shards, 3 golden shards, and one blue shard.


    White fragments are rarely dropped now; most of the drops are red and gold. Red fragments are divided into two types: [Advanced Swimming] and [Street Dance Mastery]. Jiang Siming had previously obtained [Swimming Mastery], but that was the beginner level; this time, it''s advanced. If his beginner swimming could be considered the strongest among ordinary swimming experts, then he can now compete with Sun Yang in terms of technique. If you add in Jiang Siming''s personal physical fitness, even Sun Yang, the world swimming champion, would have to step back.


    Unfortunately, [Advanced Swimming] requires a total of 5 fragments, and currently, Jiang Siming only has 2. Additionally, [Street Dance Mastery] has 3 fragments, which is enough to complete it. Now, Jiang Siming''s body is filled with various street dance techniques, and he can perform the signature moves of top street dancers at any time and place. However, Jiang Siming is not particularly interested in street dance, so this fragment skill can only be used as a decoration. As for the other 3 golden fragments, one completed the BMW X6, and the remaining two were also quite good, providing a Versace belt and a pair of AIR sneakers. Together, the two items are worth about a million or so, and they happen to be what Jiang Siming needs, with styles he likes. Finally, the blue fragment is called [Healing Pills], a box of ten.


    With such a bountiful harvest, Jiang Siming''s mood was exceptionally good, as if he had regained the feel of the FGS London World Championship. The moment the match ended, Jiang Siming immediately invited the 17 team to dinner. As soon as the two teams arrived at the Century Garden Hotel, a car was already parked at the entrance, and two young twin sisters in work uniforms stood by the door.


    "Holy cow, look! There are two beauties! They even seem to be twins!" Team Sunlight noticed right away.


    "Quick, go chat them up and get their numbers!" Even the 17 team members began to get restless, and any single guy would find it hard to resist such beautiful twin sisters.


    However, before they could muster the courage, the two beauties walked toward them instead.


    "Oh my, they can''t be interested in me, right? Captain, hold me up, my legs are shaking." Dajing from the 17 team clung to 17shou''s arm, trembling with nervousness.


    Although their income was quite substantial, far exceeding that of the average white-collar worker, in terms of social interaction and dating, they were surprisingly consistent in their ''disabilities.'' Spending all their time in front of computers, they hardly had the time to go out and make friends, and at most, they could only chat with girls online. When it came to face-to-face interactions, they all became as timid as quails.


    Just as they imagined, the twin sisters approached them, but unfortunately, they were not looking for them.


    "Chairman, you''re finally here. My sister and I have been waiting for you for so long~" Qi Muxin smiled sweetly and playfully ''complained.''


    "How did it go?" Jiang Siming asked with a smile.


    "Completed ahead of schedule. Sister, quickly show the chairman our work," Qi Muxin said to her sister.


    Qi Muqing stepped forward and handed a large bag to Jiang Siming. Explore more at empire


    Qi Muqing rolled up the car window, finally blocking out Qi Muxin''s voice, and drove off.


    Encountering such an unreliable secretary, Jiang Shiming didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    "Let''s go, it''s time to eat." Jiang Shiming called to the people still standing there.


    "Bro Jiang!" Dajing of the 17 Team suddenly howled and ran over, hugging Jiang Shiming''s arm, saying, "Bro Jiang, you have to introduce me, I like the lively one."


    "Bro Jiang! I like the quiet one." 17 Hou came over and hugged Jiang Shiming''s other arm.


    Jiang Shiming gave them both a withering glance and said, "You dare to have ideas about my secretaries. Do you believe that in the next group match, I''ll be the first to eliminate the two of you?"


    Just kidding, who dares to have ideas about the women by his side! Even the secretaries are no exception!


    Being so monopolistic of one''s partner like Jiang Shiming is truly rare in the world. (Jiang Siming raised his knife and roared: What''s wrong with me eating alone, I want to eat alone!!!!) The two of them immediately shrinked their necks and immediately conceded.


    "Old Jiang, you really started a company?" Wei Shen said in amazement, he thought Jiang Siming was just joking.


    "Why would I lie to you, let''s go, I have something to do later, I might have to leave after eating for a while," Jiang Siming urged, it was already seven thirty.


    "What''s the rush for, Brother Jiang?" Xingmu was curious.


    "Do I need to ask? Don''t you see he''s buying gifts for secretaries, of course it''s for flirting, stupid!"17shou looked down on Xingmu''s intelligence.


    "Aren''t two such beautiful secretaries enough to flirt with?"Dajing felt a pain in his heart, with two beautiful secretaries by his side and not flirting with them, he still had other ''stocks,'' how were they, these single dogs, supposed to live? At this moment, Wang Duoyu patted Dajing''s shoulder with a serious expression, his face full of the look of someone who had been through it all, and said, "No need to be surprised, you''ll get used to this kind of thing, if you''re often around Brother Jiang, you''ll adapt quickly."


    After saying this, Wang Duoyu turned around and wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, back in the day, he was also like you, so innocent and cute.

 Chapter 234: Encounter in the Restaurant

    Jiang Siming didn''t stay long for the meal and said goodbye to everyone. He had already paid the bill and ordered several expensive bottles of red wine for them, telling them to enjoy themselves. After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Siming originally intended to take a taxi, but then he remembered that he had just obtained an X6, so he summoned it.


    At a secluded parking lot, Jiang Siming saw this X6, like a crimson queen, with its rose red body, which was quite dazzling and eye-catching. It was beautiful, but a bit feminine.


    "This car is a bit girly," Jiang Siming felt a bit embarrassed, thinking he would drive it just once and then give it away. Getting into the car, the interior was decent, certainly not as good as his other three cars, but still considered top-notch, as BMW''s interiors are renowned.


    Driving off, Jiang Siming revved up the engine and pushed the limits of the maximum speed allowed in the city. It was already past eight o''clock. In a relatively decent restaurant outside the music college, Jiang Lan''s roommates and classmates were all enjoying their meal. Only Jiang Lan seemed a bit distracted, occasionally glancing down at her phone.


    "I''ll be right back; I''m worried he might not find the place." Jiang Lan left the private room, but came running back in a panic after a short while.


    "Lanlan, what''s wrong?" her roommate asked curiously. Jiang Lan had just come back when a drunk, tattooed man barged in, leering at her.


    "Beautiful girl, I just want to have a few drinks with you, do me the honor." Jiang Lan''s classmates finally understood that she had encountered a hooligan.


    "Who are you? If you don''t leave, we''ll call the restaurant manager!"


    "Go ahead and call, I''m not afraid of the police. I promise you won''t have a good time before they get here!" the drunk, tattooed man said as he walked in brazenly, followed by a few friends. A few men''s eyes were almost devouring Jiang Lan; they had never seen such a beautiful girl.


    Especially today, Jiang Lan was dressed very elegantly, putting in two hundred percent of her usual effort. She looked like a celestial beauty, and it was effortless to mesmerize a few lecherous guys. But Jiang Lan had no intention of charming them; she just wanted to catch Jiang Siming''s attention, and now she was in trouble. Fortunately, she had run fast just now, or she would have fallen into the den of villains.


    "Your boyfriend? What good is your boyfriend, tonight I am your husband!" The tattooed man cackled. Just as the tattooed man''s brothers were about to grab Jiang Lan, she, in a moment of desperation, stabbed out with the knife.


    To her surprise, the knife hit one of the tattooed men right in the stomach. Jiang Lan had used all her strength, and the knife plunged in. The man screamed and fell to the ground, the knife still in his stomach, blood gushing out from the wound and quickly staining the floor red. Everyone present was stunned, including Jiang Lan. Her beautiful face turned pale with shock; she thought she had accidentally killed someone.


    "Old Six! Damn it!" Seeing his brother fall, the tattooed man, burning with anger, raised a broken bottle and charged at Jiang Lan. With no other options, Jiang Lan could only hug herself tightly and close her eyes in despair.


    But after a while, she didn''t feel any pain, and she cautiously opened her eyes. At that moment, her lips parted slightly, and her eyes widened in surprise. A tall figure stood in front of her at some point, and with just one hand, he grabbed the throat of the vicious tattooed man and lifted him off the ground in a horrifyingly slow manner.


    This strong man weighed at least 150 pounds, yet this person lifted him as if he were a small chicken, by the neck with just one hand! Such a scene, they had only seen in movies.


    "Uh... Uh..." The veins on the big man''s face all popped out, and his red face, originally flushed from drinking, quickly turned blue. His originally struggling limbs started to tremble, and his eyes began to turn white.


    Just as he thought he was going to die there, Jiang Siming released his hand, and he fell heavily to the ground. When he landed, he happened to sit on a pile of broken glass from the bottles he had smashed. The glass shards all pierced into his flesh. The tattooed man screamed in pain but couldn''t make a sound, because his neck was still constricted.


    He could only cry out like an injured puppy, whimpering continuously. After the tattooed man fell, everyone came back to their senses from the shock and looked at the tall, handsome young man in front of them, unable to believe that all of this was his doing.


    "Brother Jiang!" The moment Jiang Siming appeared, all of Jiang Lan''s grievance and fear turned into reliance and a sense of security, and she cried as she ran into Jiang Siming''s arms.

 Chapter 235: Li Shengxue is Leaving

    "Brother Jiang, did I... kill someone..." Jiang Lan said with tears in her eyes.


    Jiang Siming smilingly patted her fragrant back and said, "Don''t worry, he won''t die. Even if he does, it would be considered justifiable self-defense. At worst, you''ll just have to pay some compensation, so there''s no need to be afraid. What you did just now was completely right."


    "You''re talking nonsense! Stop scaring people. If he dies, this girl will be waiting to go to jail!" a friend of the tattooed man shouted.


    Jiang Siming''s lips curled up, and he shook his head in disappointment, saying, "Don''t show off your laughable lack of knowledge just because you haven''t read any books. Our Criminal Law stipulates that in the case of ongoing violent crimes such as assault, murder, robbery, kidnapping, rape, and other serious crimes that endanger personal safety, defensive actions that result in injury or death to the perpetrator do not constitute criminal liability or excessive defense."


    Jiang Siming continued to question, "Not knowing this, you dare to kidnap people openly? Do you know that I could just beat all of you to death now and only have to pay some compensation?"


    Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Lan noticed that Jiang Siming had disappeared from her side. Turning back, she found that the remaining two friends of the tattooed man were all sprawled on the ground, each clutching their twisted thighs and wailing in pain. After beating these two, Jiang Siming turned and walked toward the now-recovered tattooed man. The tattooed man was still embedded with glass shards, bleeding profusely, and looked horrifying. But Jiang Siming showed not a hint of sympathy, walking straight toward him.


    "B... Big brother... I was wrong... Please let me go. I didn''t mean to offend your woman after drinking some horse urine... sniff sniff..." The big man was so scared that he started crying; it was clear that this young man was not someone he could provoke.


    He never thought that what he thought was a great stroke of luck today would turn out to be a major disaster.


    "Not everything can be covered up by drinking. What''s done is done. Since you did it, you have to bear the consequences of your wrongdoings." Jiang Siming''s tone was icy cold.


    Under his imposing presence, everyone in the private room felt it hard to breathe.


    "Bro, I..." Before the tattooed man could finish his sentence,


    Jiang Siming kicked an empty beer bottle lying on the ground. The beer bottle, kicked powerfully by Jiang Siming, didn''t break but instead went flying like a bullet, hitting the tattooed man right between his legs. Ah! This scream sent shivers down the spines of those around, and the men felt an involuntary tensing in their nether regions.


    "Since you can''t control your lower half when drunk, I''ll take care of it for you." Jiang Siming said this with a casual tone, as if it were a trivial matter.


    Jiang Siming himself didn''t know when he had become so ''cold-blooded'' and ''heartless.'' After laying the foundation, he always thought he hadn''t changed much. But now he realized that this was only when facing ordinary people; when he encountered scum like this, the violent factor in his body became exceptionally active.


    Li Shengxue nodded and said, "You know about Huaxia Tianzu, right?"


    Jiang Siming shook his head; he hadn''t heard of it.


    "Huaxia Tianzu is the most secretive and powerful combat unit in China, even more powerful than the State Security. A year ago, I applied to serve in Tianzu. I thought they hadn''t agreed, but they recently replied."


    "So you''re going to serve?" Jiang Siming understood.


    Li Shengxue showed a bitter smile and said, "A year ago, I thought I was free of desire and wanted to dedicate everything to the national security cause, but I didn''t expect..."


    Li Shengxue really felt as if fate was toying with her. She had no attachments in the past. Coming from a family of military background, Li Shengxue was determined to become her father''s pride, to join Huaxia Tianzu and improve her strength to serve the country. She applied for a year, and the higher-ups didn''t agree, but after she gradually forgot about it and met Jiang Siming, she realized that she wasn''t as emotionless as she had imagined.


    When she had just confirmed that she had fallen in love with Jiang Siming, a notification letter arrived in her hands. At that moment, Li Shengxue was stunned, and it took her many days to recover.


    "Can''t it be canceled?" Jiang Siming asked.


    As soon as he asked, he felt his question was really stupid. Even if you were accepted to join the army, could you just back out and not participate? And if you could, you would become a deserter.


    Li Shengxue said with disappointment, "It seems that this time, the Tian Group is recruiting very urgently. I will have to leave Shanghai in a few days and go to a place I don''t know, for one year of service. During this year, I might not even be able to make a few phone calls."


    Upon hearing Li Shengxue''s words, Jiang Siming suddenly felt a knot in his heart. He reached out and pulled Li Shengxue directly into his arms. He knew he couldn''t stop her, and the only comfort he could offer was this.


    "It''s okay, I''ll wait for you for a year," Jiang Siming said with a light smile, although he felt sad, he knew this was something that couldn''t be avoided, so it was better to comfort her.


    Li Shengxue tightly wrapped her arms around Jiang Siming''s waist. For the first time, she felt the warmth and solidity of Jiang Siming''s embrace, and she really regretted her decision a year ago. Thinking of this, Li Shengxue took the initiative to lift her head and kissed Jiang Siming on the lips, offering her first kiss in a brief yet sincere manner. The two of them kissed passionately and reluctantly in a corner where no one could see them. It wasn''t until much later that Li Shengxue blushed and stepped out of Jiang Siming''s embrace.

 Chapter 236: ’Military Servant’ Jiang Siming

    "You promised to wait for me for a year, and after a year, I will come back to find you."


    "I promise I will always wait for you." Jiang Siming replied seriously.


    "Mm, then I''ll be going." Li Shengxue turned to leave, with reluctance.


    However, Jiang Siming called her back.


    "Wear these few medicines, remember, this is the detox and beauty pill, this is the protect heart pill, this is the water-repel pill, this is the healing pill, their effects are respectively..." Jiang Siming explained the effects of these four pills to Li Shengxue, emphasizing the healing pill in particular, and he gave her the entire box of healing pills.


    Li Shengxue, however, burst into a laugh. She found that the boy in front of her had become so adorable at some point, and he didn''t need to make up such a story to cheer her up. But Li Shengxue accepted Jiang Siming''s sincerity seriously, and she carefully sorted the four different colored pills, wrapped them in her handkerchief, and put them in her pocket.

    Li Shengxue left, and Jiang Siming felt a bit hollow in his heart, knowing he wouldn''t see this beautiful police girl for a year, he really didn''t want to part. But then he thought, she was getting a promotion, not fleeing from disaster, and he should be congratulating her, not feeling so down.


    A year was not a long time, and it would pass quickly. Listening to Li Shengxue, the Huaxia Tianzu had a very high entry threshold, selecting the strongest police and military elites from all over, and those who could enter would come out at least as regimental-level officers, which was extremely impressive.


    Thinking of this, the gloom in Jiang Siming''s heart was swept away, and he began to be happy for Li Shengxue. Although the Huaxia Tianzu sounded very dangerous, it was a peaceful era now, and nothing should happen.


    Thinking about the possibility of having a regimental-level military officer as a girlfriend in the future, Jiang Siming was quite looking forward to it, wondering if he would become a ''military wife''... oh, no, a ''military husband'' was the right term. After Li Shengxue left, Jiang Siming returned to the restaurant entrance.


    Seeing him come back, Jiang Lan hurriedly jogged over, her face full of worry, and asked, "Was there any trouble?"


    These students were very cooperative, raising their glasses one after another and agreeing that it was no big deal, it should be this way. They, too, vividly remembered the scenes that had just unfolded, and with someone who could lift a big man with one hand, everyone began to suspect that this boyfriend of Jiang Lan might be some kind of martial arts master or a tough soldier. How could they dare to offend such a person, they were hardly fast enough to curry favor with him.


    Besides, could you even win if you offended him? That tattooed thug had his balls smashed, leaving a bloodstained crotch when he was taken away by the police. Thinking of this, the students shivered and decided that they must never offend Jiang Siming, nor Jiang Lan. In the future at school, they must unconditionally support Jiang Lan, which would also win them Jiang Siming''s goodwill and gratitude, a win-win situation!


    After a few drinks, everyone had set aside their fear of Jiang Siming, calling him "Brother Jiang" every now and then. After the meal, everyone moved to the pre-arranged KTV. Jiang Lan had booked a regular room, which cost 1666 yuan per night. However, Jiang Siming found the room too small and asked the manager to upgrade it to the most luxurious ''Angel Room,'' which costs 28888 yuan per night, not including drinks. Seeing this price, many students were shocked. Opening a KTV room almost matched their annual tuition fees.


    Their students from the music college came from good family backgrounds, but even for wealthy families, they wouldn''t allow them to spend recklessly, with the most generous providing a monthly allowance of a few ten thousand yuan. Yet, Jiang Siming''s room booking cost more than the monthly allowances of several wealthy students. Not only that, Jiang Siming called the manager again, but considering that they had already drunk a lot, he only ordered some high-quality fruit platters and drinks. A fruit platter for 266 yuan, the best fruit drinks, all over a hundred yuan a bottle, and it''s not just one bottle, but a whole bunch. The generous spending made everyone''s mouth water.


    "Little Lan, your boyfriend is awesomely amazing!" The girls whispered to Jiang Lan, expressing their immense envy. Who wouldn''t want a boyfriend who is handsome, rich, and gives a great sense of security?


    They almost suspected that Jiang Lan must have saved the world in her previous life. Jiang Lan didn''t refute; her smile became even sweeter. In such a super luxurious KTV, everyone felt it would be a waste not to sing at least two songs in such an expensive room. Being music majors, each one of them wanted to show off in front of Jiang Siming, taking turns to sing, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.


    Jiang Siming also quite enjoyed such occasions; being with these college students made him feel like he had returned to his student days, and his mentality felt much younger.


    "We can''t just sing ourselves; let''s have Brother Jiang and Sister Jiang sing a duet!" A classmate suggested, and the others immediately agreed enthusiastically. The term ''Sister Jiang'' made Jiang Lan blush. The microphones were passed to Jiang Siming and Jiang Lan.


    "What song do you want to sing?" Jiang Siming asked Jiang Lan.


    "How about ''Because of Love''? Is that okay?" Jiang Lan asked, looking cute. "Sure." Jiang Siming nodded, and someone immediately switched to the song.


    "Here''s a CD from the past, listen to our love back then, sometimes I suddenly forget, that I''m still in love with you..." Once Jiang Siming started singing, the people in the room felt like they were being completely blown away from head to toe!

 Chapter 237: Don’t You Want to Pay It Back?

    Jiang Siming had sung songs at beach parties before, but those were gatherings of students from the same grade, and Jiang Lan didn''t know many of them. Today, the birthday party guests were all good friends from school, and only a few of them had heard Jiang Siming sing, and it had been so long that they had forgotten about it.


    "Wow! Brother Jiang''s singing is so beautiful too!"


    "I feel like I''ve heard Brother Jiang''s voice somewhere before, but I can''t quite place it."


    "I think he sings even better than Eason Chan."


    "Agreed, it''s really amazing."...


    Even Jiang Lan was a bit stunned. She only snapped out of it when it was her turn to sing, and she quickly joined in. After singing a duet, Jiang Siming asked everyone to light the candles on the cake. After the cake was set up, Jiang Lan, surrounded by everyone, clasped her hands and closed her eyes to make a wish devoutly. After making her wish, she blew out the candles. Everyone then took out the birthday gifts they had prepared and handed them to Jiang Lan.


    They were gifts that everyone had bought, costing hundreds or even thousands, and Jiang Lan thanked each person and happily accepted them. After everyone else had given their gifts, they all looked at Jiang Siming expectantly, wondering what gift the big shot would give. Jiang Siming didn''t hold back; he handed the bag he had brought to Jiang Lan.


    "Sister Jiang, quickly open it and let us have a look," everyone urged, eager to see what gift Jiang Siming would give.


    "Can I open it?" Jiang Lan still needed to get Jiang Siming''s approval, even for such a small matter.


    "Open it, everyone''s waiting," Jiang Siming said, putting a piece of melon in his mouth. Hearing this, Jiang Lan opened the bag. Inside was a beautifully crafted small box. When she opened it, she found a purple round crystal necklace with a small square pure silver pendant hanging from it, emitting a pure glow, the crystal-clear purple shining in the light.


    Wow!!!


    "I recognize this necklace! It''s a Cartier gem necklace! The cheapest one costs at least a few hundred thousand, and the gem in the middle of this one is so big, it must be worth more than two hundred thousand!"


    "So beautiful! If I received a necklace like this, I would be grinning from ear to ear every day this year."


    "Sister Jiang, Brother Jiang is so good to you!" "This necklace is a perfect match for Sister Jiang''s elegance and beauty!"...


    Everyone spoke their minds. Although there was a bit of flattery, they were indeed speaking from the heart. Jiang Lan was also stunned by the necklace and fell in love with it at first sight. She couldn''t help but put it on and wear it around her neck. With the necklace accentuating her, Jiang Lan looked even more stunning, and even Jiang Siming couldn''t help but pause and look at her.


    "Do I look good..." Jiang Lan asked Jiang Siming shyly.


    "Very nice," Jiang Siming nodded in approval, and Jiang Lan was overjoyed as if she had received a divine blessing. After wearing it for a while, she carefully put it back in the box.


    "Why did you take it off?" Jiang Siming asked, puzzled.


    "I''m afraid of damaging it, I want to preserve it well~" Jiang Lan replied with a smile.


    Jiang Siming shook his head in amusement and said, "This is just the first gift, there''s another one downstairs waiting for you to receive."


    Another one! The onlookers couldn''t believe their ears; after a gift worth hundreds of thousands, there''s still a second one?


    "No, no, no. You''ve already been so generous."


    "Recently, Zhang Wei used his family''s money to buy a 500,000 Cadillac and has been showing it off everywhere, basically implying that Jiang Lan made a mistake by not choosing him."


    "What do you think Zhang Wei will think when he finds out that Jiang Lan received an X6 for her birthday?"


    "He probably won''t dare to let out a fart..."


    ...


    This bright red BMW X6 made Jiang Lan both happy and fearful. She was afraid that she wouldn''t be able to resist the impact of Jiang Siming''s gifts and would gradually become materialistic.


    While everyone was still admiring the car, Jiang Lan had already turned and run back to the KTV.


    Back in the private room, Jiang Siming was buried in playing with his phone.


    Jiang Lan sat down next to him and whispered, "This gift is too expensive, you should..."


    "Can you stop talking nonsense?" Jiang Siming said without lifting his head.


    "But..." Jiang Lan hesitated, wanting to say more but afraid that Jiang Siming would be unhappy, so she could only discontentedly hug his arm.


    "Brother Jiang, I feel like... I owe you more and more..."


    "Then consider them as the expected salary you want when you start working in the future, it''s like being my secretary," Jiang Siming replied.


    "My expected salary is only twenty thousand, this way I will never be able to pay you back..."


    "Don''t you want to repay me all your life?" Jiang Siming lifted his eyelids and glared at her fiercely.


    Jiang Lan immediately understood and nodded happily, "I do!"


    "Then stop wasting time and get your classmates back. After the party, we''ll go to the hotel with me," Jiang Siming was a bit bored, mainly because the KTV was too noisy.


    Jiang Lan''s face turned red, knowing what Jiang Siming meant by that, it was time for bed~


    "They''re still looking at cars, they should be back soon. I''ll peel some grapes for you to eat," Jiang Lan said. "Sure, but you have to feed me with your mouth," Jiang Siming said mischievously.


    Jiang Lan gave him an indignant look, looked around the door to make sure no one was coming back. Then she peeled a grape, put it in her mouth, lightly bit it with her teeth, parted her lips slightly, and moved towards Jiang Siming. This was something Jiang Siming had seen in ancient emperor novels, where the concubines used to feed the emperor this way.


    Now, he could also enjoy it. The moment their lips touched, Jiang Siming had no intention of letting go, starting to hold Jiang Lan, his hands roving up and down. It wasn''t until he heard footsteps from outside the door that Jiang Siming stopped. Jiang Lan immediately sat up straight, tidied her somewhat disheveled clothes, and tried her best to control her panting.


    "Sister Jiang, you''re back, we were looking for you," the classmates didn''t notice anything unusual. Everyone continued to sing in the private room until nearly ten o''clock before dispersing.

 Chapter 238: At Night, I Am Your Dad

    The others all took taxis back to school, and Jiang Siming reimbursed all the car fares. After seeing these students off, Jiang Siming returned to the restaurant''s parking lot with Jiang Lan, as Jiang Siming had been drinking, so the sober Jiang Lan drove instead.


    "This car was meant for you; give it a try," Jiang Siming said lazily from the passenger seat. Jiang Lan had driven before, but it was her parents'' car, and this sudden ownership of her own vehicle felt like a dream to her. No wonder so many girls are materialistic; as long as they have a wealthy boyfriend, just a snap of his fingers can easily get them what they might struggle for half their lives.


    Even Jiang Lan was almost indulged in this feeling. However, fortunately, Jiang Lan had a strong sense of self and did not turn these material things into desires; instead, she transformed them into feelings for Jiang Siming. Driving steadily on the road, they arrived at the Fuding Hotel.


    As soon as they reached the hotel, Jiang Siming became immediately energetic. It was Jiang Lan, on the other hand, who was a bit tired from the gathering and the scares earlier, but she didn''t want to dampen Jiang Siming''s mood, so she managed to pull herself together... to accompany him to bed...


    That night, with electric passion, Jiang Lan tried out all the new techniques she had recently learned online that could make men very satisfied, albeit clumsily. After two hours, Jiang Siming was content, but Jiang Lan was in a sorry state, her jaw aching and her knees bruised. But seeing Jiang Siming''s satisfied expression, she felt that this sacrifice was completely worth it.


    Finally, Jiang Lan snuggled into Jiang Siming''s arms and fell into a deep sleep within seconds; she was too exhausted. Jiang Siming secretly fed her a beauty and detox pill, then helped her take a bath. During this time, Jiang Lan didn''t react much, letting Jiang Siming do as he pleased.


    When she woke up the next morning, Jiang Lan screamed when she saw herself in the bathroom. Jiang Siming then showed a knowing smile. Yesterday, when he gave Xin Yi and Zhirou, his two wives at home, the same treatment, they behaved the same way. He had already gotten used to it. Just as he was about to call Jiang Lan for a morning intimate session, his phone rang¡ªit was a call from Zhao Xuan.


    "Are you awake, my little man?" Zhao Xuan''s coquettish voice entered Jiang Siming''s ears.


    "Do you miss me? Do you want me to come over and keep you company tonight?"


    Jiang Siming didn''t hide his phone call, and Jiang Lan could hear everything clearly from the washroom. However, she didn''t feel jealous at all; instead, she paused her toothbrushing, worried about causing trouble for Jiang Siming.


    "No way, Xiao Xiao has a bit of a cold these past two days and has been sleeping with me," came the pouting voice from Zhao Xuan''s end.


    "Xiao Xiao has a cold? Is it serious?" Jiang Siming was taken aback. No wonder this little girl hasn''t been bothering him these past few days. Ever since this little girl found out about his relationship with Zhao Xuan, Zhao Xiaoxiao would always call him or send a WeChat message every day. Not hearing from Jiang Siming recently made him feel a bit out of sorts.


    "Not serious, just a low fever, nearly better. I called you to tell you two things. The first is that Sohu Online Game Company has agreed to your terms, but they have one request: you have to sing this song during a live stream and help promote their game ''The Legend of the Condor Heroes 2.'' Don''t worry, you don''t have to play it, just promote it verbally."


    "No problem, I also have shares, so promoting it will benefit me too," Jiang Siming readily agreed.


    "Then there''s the second thing. This second thing is important, I hope you can agree to it on behalf of Douyu. Similarly, I''ve discussed it with the other shareholders, and we will give you 3% of Douyu''s equity."


    "Brother is most annoyed when everyone only looks at my looks. Being an idol is a honor for others, but for me, it''s a trouble."


    Netizen: (Ah tui!)


    "So, are you agreeing to it?" Zhao Xuan asked.


    "Of course, since you want me to go, how can I refuse? I''ll treat it as a fun experience; I''ve never participated in a variety show before," Jiang Siming responded.


    Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Don''t worry, I won''t let you down. Jitiao has given you a 3.2 million yuan fee for the first episode, and Douyu will give you an additional 2 million yuan. We''ll also give you 3 points of equity, so you''ll be a shareholder of Douyu from now on."


    "When did Douyu become so generous? Can you control Douyu by yourself?" Jiang Siming did not believe that the other shareholders were so kind-hearted to dilute their shares for him.


    "I can''t, of course. They see your potential and want to tie you to the Douyu ship, fearing you might leave for another company," Zhao Xuan said.


    Jiang Siming is now bringing in a very large number of new viewers and a huge profit from gifts to Douyu.


    These are not fake gifts fabricated by the agency, but genuine profits. The shareholders of Douyu are well aware of the data of all the streamers during the fan festival. Could they be unaware of whether those who seem to have received many gifts actually have water in their numbers?


    Jiang Siming, who has no background with any agency or guild, can crush those streamers who have backing. This level of strength is shocking. After the fan festival, Douyu will clean up the agencies, so Jiang Siming''s importance is being infinitely magnified at this moment.


    Once the agencies collapse, the gift income can only rely on the real viewer base. Whoever has the most viewers and the most wealthy supporters will naturally be Jiang Siming. If we don''t tie him up quickly, the rival platforms, Huya and QQ, will be more than willing to spend several times the breach of contract penalty to poach Jiang Siming.


    Although Zhao Xuan and Jiang Siming have a good relationship, Douyu can''t guarantee that Jiang Siming won''t be swayed by the huge profits. Haven''t there been countless examples of well-known Douyu streamers being lured away by rival platforms?


    So this time, Douyu is also going all out, choosing to tie Jiang Siming down with equity.

 Chapter 239: Suddenly Going Live

    Jiang Siming sent Jiang Lan back to school and then returned home. Today is already Monday, Wang Xinyi has returned to school, and Yin Zhirou also went to school for classes. Only Lin Yiner was at home. At this moment, she had just finished cleaning the house, taken a fragrant bath, and was lying on the sofa watching "White Snake Legend". Although it was in Chinese, there were Korean subtitles at the bottom. Despite being a big star, Lin Yiner did not have the bad habits of big stars. She was not only down-to-earth but also very hardworking.


    She knew about Jiang Siming''s work and company, and knew that he was very busy, so she stayed at home obediently on her own and did not call to bother him. Hearing the door opening, Lin Yiner thought someone else was coming in and was scared, thinking of running upstairs, but seeing Jiang Siming, she excitedly jumped off the sofa. Like a kangaroo, she jumped into Jiang Siming''s arms.


    "Oppa, you''re back!" Lin Yiner''s head nestled against Jiang Siming''s clean neck, playfully rubbing her hair against his ticklish spots.


    Jiang Siming did not resist at all, smiling, he said, "Were you bored staying at home alone?"


    "Mmm~ not bored, I was always at home alone when I was resting in Korea," Lin Yiner shook her head and said.


    "Then you''re like me. When I worked before, I always liked to stay at home alone. I didn''t expect my Yiner to also have the attributes of a homebody." Jiang Siming smiled and held Lin Yiner as he sat on the sofa, and she sat in his lap, facing him, her long legs wrapped around his waist, the pose was rather intimate.


    "Oppa, I''m leaving in a couple of days," Lin Yiner leaned against Jiang Siming''s chest.


    "Leaving so soon?" Jiang Siming felt quite uncomfortable. Li Shengxue was leaving, and now Lin Yiner was also leaving. How would he live without his wives~~ although he still had several more.


    "I''ve been out for a long time, my team needs me, but it will be fine once my contract expires." Lin Yun''er consoled Jiang Siming instead.


    "For now, we can only do this. I''ll spend these two days with you." Jiang Siming felt quite heartache; he still had to let his precious Yuner work hard for another year. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire


    "No need, just do your own things, I''ll wait for you at home. Yesterday, Xinyi and the others recommended a really good TV drama to me. It''s so interesting, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen are truly pitiful~" Lin Yun''er pouted and said.


    Jiang Siming laughed, and said, "This is one of our classic Chinese TV dramas. After you finish watching it, you can watch ''Butterfly Lovers,'' I guarantee it will make you shed tears."


    "Good thing I subscribed, otherwise I wouldn''t have known, hahaha."


    "My phone gives automatic reminders, so I can always know when he starts streaming, feeling great."


    "Such a sudden stream, is he planning not to stream tonight? There doesn''t seem to be a game tonight."


    "There are still two rounds of group matches, but they start the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is the final round of the fan festival. What''s Ming God up to by streaming now?"


    "You can''t guess what''s on Ming Shen''s mind, no matter how much you try, you won''t understand~"


    "If Ming God started streaming now just for something, he would have already started streaming before the first two rounds of the fan festival."...


    The audience found it a bit hard to get used to Jiang Siming streaming so early, but they were naturally delighted that he was streaming.


    "Today''s broadcast is so early mainly because I have a new song to share with everyone. This is also a theme song I was commissioned by Sohu Online Games Company for their new game ''Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils 2''. I''ll let you all listen to it in advance." Jiang Siming''s words delighted the audience!


    It hasn''t been long since ''Mask'' and ''Heavenly Empress'', and now there''s a new song? Hahaha, is today a holiday or something? How can music fans hold back their excitement! Indeed, Ming God''s live stream should be watched every day; otherwise, you never know what kind of surprises he might offer.


    Experienced viewers have summarized that when watching Jiang Siming''s live stream, the regular benefits you can expect are: vocal enjoyment and violent game highlights. Occasionally, you might get: face-revealing benefits and benefits from bringing along female company. Rarely, you might get: live song performances.


    Look, now he''s going to sing, Jiang Siming has already turned on the camera, and the benefits are coming one after another, raising the fans'' spirits. The viewers watching the live stream are overjoyed, and whether they are watching on their phones or computers, they quickly put on their headphones. The audience who often hear Jiang Siming sing are quite experienced; only with headphones can you enjoy the highest quality sound. If the headphones are a bit more expensive, you might even feel like you''re at a live concert.

 Chapter 240: Mortal Enemies

    In order to promote it effectively, Jiang Siming even started downloading the game client for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils 2" on his computer. While waiting for the download to finish, Jiang Siming played a promotional video for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils 2."


    This promotional effort was done so well that even the staff from Sohu''s online game company, who were watching the live stream, nodded in approval. Ming God''s dedication and commitment to advertising were truly commendable, and for this reason, they felt they had chosen the right person.


    "I just wonder how the song will be. It must match the game''s style and not go off-topic," said one of the planners from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils 2" somewhat hesitantly.


    The promotional video opened with a completely Chinese ink-wash style, featuring green mountains and clear waters, ancient sword tales, and characters that were handsome and beautiful. They were all neatly dressed, exuding a chivalrous demeanor, with exquisite ancient-style clothing and dazzling weapons, whether they were swords, feather fans, or dragon staves, and so on. It looked full of immortal knight style.


    This was also the most popular aspect of Chinese online games, as such cultivation-like games fulfilled Chinese players'' yearning for the world of immortal knights. Just as Western online games were all about magic, they revered the magical world, while China was the hall of the mystic and immortal knight.


    This promotional video was made with great sincerity, exuding an ancient style flavor. Jiang Siming set it to single loop and muted the sound. The audience was puzzled as to why he had muted the sound; after all, without the sound, half of the effect was lost. The next second, they understood why: it turned out Jiang Siming was providing his own background music. A melodious piano sound followed, filling the background of the promotional video.


    Just from this opening segment, everyone felt it was better than the original dub! "This song is called ''Rivals of Destiny,''" Jiang Siming announced the song''s title. Upon hearing the name, the audience wondered why it sounded so Chinese. It was just like his "Luzhou Moon."


    Moreover, listening to the melody, it really had a Chinese flavor.


    "Feeling that the Huaxia style is about to make a comeback!"


    "The tune sounds very similar, super excited!"


    "Is Ming God a new song production machine? How can he be so amazing!"


    "Keep listening, Ming God''s songs are usually incredibly impressive in the chorus." No sooner had he finished speaking when the chorus filled the entire studio.


    "When grievances and debts are evenly split, how can I confine them? Seeing the lanterns stained with crimson blood, avenging is too late. The door boy under the moon sighs, last night Chang''an was peaceful..."


    Unlike the first two verses, everyone could increasingly see the traces of Qiao Feng in the chorus. Qiao Feng had always been on the move due to grievances, wanting to avenge his parents and his master. But in the end, he discovered that the Shaolin Temple where his mentor was had participated in the martial fight at Yumen Pass many years ago. He also discovered that his biological father was the one who killed his adoptive parents and his master, truly meaning that benefactors can also be enemies, and enemies can also be benefactors, isn''t it


    "When grievances and debts are evenly split"?


    Especially the line "Seeing the lanterns stained with crimson blood, avenging is too late," which made the audience very willing to believe. On the journey to find the killers of his biological and adoptive parents as well as his master, too many people had already lost their lives, including his beloved Ah Zhu, and when he finally knew the truth, it was really too late! There were even listeners who had studied ancient texts and heard the meaning in the last line.


    The door boy under the moon sighs, last night Chang''an was peaceful. Here, ''Chang''an'' does not refer to the capital Chang''an, but means ''long-lasting peace.'' The stars in the sky, shining bright, forever brilliant, long may they be peaceful! This is Qiao Feng''s reminisce of his past tranquil life, his weariness with The Martial World of grievances, and even more so, his reminiscence of A''Zhu. Many martial arts enthusiasts were moved to tears, finding that the song by Jiang Siming vividly and touchingly portrayed the image of the great hero Qiao Feng in their hearts. The chorus part had not yet ended.


    "When the stars in the sky revolve, my fate is already set. As the final ink dries, the old enemy has come. I borrow your loneliness, this life may find it hard to repay..."


    Listen, could these lyrics be written by a game streamer? How much cultural depth must one have to write such a heart-wrenching and farewell lyric? Especially the last line, ''I borrow your loneliness, this life may find it hard to repay.'' The use of the word ''borrow'' is so exquisite that it sent shivers down the spines of many literary and even Chinese majors among the audience. Coupled with Jiang Siming''s piano playing, the emotions intertwine and blend, both grand and tender. It was only when the entire song ended that everyone seemed to awaken from a dream, the lingering melody resonating for three months!


    If every Chinese person has a Martial World dream, then this song by Jiang Siming is undoubtedly the most fitting background music for everyone''s Martial World dream. This kind of scene that can only appear in novels or movies, Jiang Siming has portrayed vividly with extremely simple words.


    The chorus part is no less impressive than "The Moon over Luzhou," invigorating every cell in the listener''s ear. No one would have expected that a mere game background music could be written so beautifully. To be precise, in the hearts of many martial arts enthusiasts, this song is several times stronger than "The Moon over Luzhou."

 Chapter 241: A Game Theme Song So Beautiful It Makes You Cry

    After finishing the song, Jiang Siming let out a long sigh. He actually really liked this song himself, but not many people listened to it. It was quite an obscure song, and it was also just a game theme song. However, Jiang Siming believed that this song could be considered a masterpiece that could stand alongside "Lu Zhou Moon" and "Broken Bridge and Remaining Snow."


    As soon as the song was finished, the live streaming room''s chat exploded. The density of the comments was N times what it usually was. The entire screen was completely covered with dense messages, making it impossible to know what everyone was saying unless one looked closely.


    "It''s so beautiful! Another Chinese-style song!"


    "It''s so touching, I almost cried."


    Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire


    "So sad, Lord Ming, you''re such a bad guy, crying, just love cheating people out of their golden beans."


    "As a martial arts enthusiast, I''m in tears, farewell to Mr. Jin Yong, farewell to Qiao Feng!"


    "It makes my heart so heavy, this song is even more mournful than ''Lu Zhou Yue''."


    "Just for this song, I''ll download the game right now!"


    "This game must be downloaded! Sohu Online Games, you should be very grateful to Lord Ming, this song will definitely become a hit!"...


    The staff at the Sina Online Games studio were all excited because of this song. They knew that this game would certainly receive the greatest promotional effect because of it.


    "He said he could write better than ''Lu Zhou Moon,'' I didn''t believe it at first, but now I do. It''s a real waste that this person isn''t a professional singer!"


    She got used to it because during her high school years at a boarding school, she was extremely bored, and her father gave her a few martial arts novels. From then on, Xiong Wentian followed in her father''s footsteps and fell in love with martial arts. She has no regard for the fantasy and immortal cultivation novels that are popular among the post-90s and post-00s generations, immersing herself only in the world of martial arts.


    Xiong Wentian, now well into her twenties, still harbors a deep love for martial arts. She not only enjoys finding martial arts novels but also loves listening to ancient-style songs. Recently, she heard a song called "Luzhou Moon" online, and at that moment, she was stunned by the beauty of it, immediately recommending it to her father, who is over fifty.


    Her father enjoyed it so much after listening that for a while, the stereo at home was still playing it. Today, her father rarely reads martial arts novels, not because he doesn''t love them, but because he hasn''t found any he likes. According to her father: the current authors simply can''t write good martial arts novels.


    The golden age of martial arts, he says, only existed in his younger days. When Jin Yong, the renowned author, passed away last year, her father, a man with no familial ties to Jin Yong, cried like a child at home. Xiong Wentian couldn''t understand her father''s feelings; she just liked martial arts, but wasn''t as obsessed as he was. After Jin Yong''s passing, her father sealed away his martial arts novels and didn''t read them again, spending his days only reading newspapers and news. Today, while on her way to work and feeling bored, Xiong Wentian wanted to browse the web.


    Unexpectedly, someone in her martial arts novel group posted a link. She clicked on it out of curiosity, only to find it was a live stream. Although she usually doesn''t watch live streams, she was about to close it when she was suddenly entranced by the singing, her hand frozen on the mouse. After listening, she was so moved that tears streamed down her face. She quickly searched online for the origin of the song, but no matter how she searched, she found nothing. Then she repeatedly asked what the song was called and where she could listen to it. After several dozen screen brushes, an annoyed viewer told her it was Ming Shen''s new song, which hadn''t been uploaded yet, and to listen to it, she could only hear the version edited and uploaded by the streamer. So, Xiong Wentian immediately went to various websites to look for it, and sure enough, she found it very quickly.


    Although the sound quality was a bit poor, Xiong Wentian was still very happy. She listened to it all afternoon and ran home as soon as she got off work. Her father was cooking in the kitchen and, seeing his daughter return, he cheerfully told her to rest and that the meal would be ready soon. Xiong Wentian rushed into the kitchen, said nothing, and turned on the recorded version of "Rivals" and turned the volume up to the maximum. Her father was initially curious, but as he listened, his movements with the spatula became increasingly slow.


    When the chorus started, her father actually forgot to stir-fry for a moment. Xiong Wentian quickly took over, while her father just stood there listening to the song. As he listened, tears streamed down his weathered cheeks. In fact, since Xiong Wentian could remember, her father had only cried once, when Mr. Jin Yong passed away. This was the second time.


    "Dad, what''s wrong?" Xiong Wentian asked, though she knew the answer, smiling as she had cried when she first heard it.


    "This song... is it written for Qiao Feng?" Xiong''s father, knowing nothing, recognized right away that the background of this song was like someone.


    "I''m not sure, it''s written by the singer of that previous song ''Lu Zhou Moon.'' He''s not a professional singer, just a streamer, but he''s so talented that I''ve started following him," Xiong Wentian laughed.


    Xiong''s father wiped his tears and took Xiong Wentian''s phone, running to the study, saying, "You make your own dinner, I''m not eating. I''m going to read."


    Xiong Wentian was speechless, wishing she had waited until after dinner to play it for her father.

 Chapter 242: Max Level Account and Newbie Account

    Jiang Siming had just finished singing when he noticed a familiar gift flashing red.


    "[Sohu Online Games] has obtained the [Emperor] rank in [Ming]''s live stream!"


    "[Sohu Online Games] has gifted Super Rockets x100 in [Ming]''s live stream!"


    Emperor [Sohu Online Games]: "Ming, your talent is greatly admired by everyone in the company. This song ''Rival'' far exceeds our expectations. This is a token of our appreciation, thank you very much."


    The emergence of this new emperor was not really surprising; at this point, there were too many emperors in Jiang Siming''s live stream. However, this emperor was special, coming from Sohu Online Games. Jiang Siming also cooperated by mentioning a few things about the game, asking about game-related content, such as which class was stronger, or whether couples could get married in the game. [Sohu Online Games] answered all questions, further increasing their satisfaction and gratitude towards Jiang Siming.


    They had only asked Jiang Siming to write a song, and he had gone way beyond expectations, demonstrating a high level of professionalism!


    Emperor [Sohu Online Games]: "Ming, we will send you a private message with a beta test account, a fully maxed-out equipped account. You can play it whenever you want, or even sell it if you don''t want to play."


    Jiang Siming was well aware of the money-making potential of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". When this game became popular, such a fully maxed-out equipped account would start at least one million RMB. Sohu Online Games left it up to Jiang Siming to handle, even if he decided to sell it. This gift was already quite generous.


    "Thank you, I just finished downloading the game, I''ll go in and play for a while." Jiang Siming was not particularly fond of online games, but since they had given him an account, he figured he should at least play it once, even if he planned to sell it later.


    Hearing that Jiang Siming was going to play, [Sohu Online Games] nearly laughed out loud, just as they had expected. When Jiang Siming wants to play, the downloads of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils 2" reach a peak, with hundreds of downloads per second, making everyone in the studio nervous.


    This is just an online game, not a phenomenon-level game like PlayerUnknown''s Battlegrounds or League of Legends, with a relatively small number of players. From when Jiang Siming finished singing "Nemesis" to now, it''s only been 20 minutes, and their game''s downloads have increased by nearly 200,000! If Jiang Siming plays for a while, the game''s downloads are expected to increase by at least 500,000!


    At this moment, Jiang Siming has already entered the internal test code provided by Sohu Online Games, and many viewers are eagerly waiting to see which server he is on.


    "I''m in the [Drunken Oblivion River] Zone 1. Are there any friends coming to fight me? If you''re my brother, come and fight me, hahaha." Jiang Siming announced his server.


    "God Ming, wait for me! I''m creating my account right now!"


    "It doesn''t matter if I didn''t add you as a friend, I''ll create a clan, let''s call it the ''Snot Clan''." After saying this clan name, Jiang Siming was also drunk, when did he become so wild at naming?


    Jiang Siming then bought a clan creation order, the highest level one, which could recruit up to ten thousand members. After setting it up, so many people wanted to join that Jiang Siming couldn''t even keep up with accepting them, so he had to set the clan to allow anyone to join, thus avoiding the computer nearly freezing.


    There was an option in the clan for members to follow the leader, and the players who joined the Snot Clan immediately clicked to follow the leader. Soon, Jiang Siming was surrounded by densely packed players. They were all new accounts, filling the entire Hall of Rebirth. Many of the game''s original players were shocked when they arrived at the Hall of Rebirth, thinking the game had a bug.


    These players'' IDs were also interesting, most prefixed with [Snot]. [Snot¡¤Xiao Xian Yu] [Snot¡¤Kong Kong Meng Xiang] [Snot¡¤Mo Zi Mo] [Snot¡¤Shuai Jie]...


    There are still many with the prefix of [Ming Team], in short, they are all Jiang Siming''s water friends, and there are more and more of them, so many that the Rebirth Hall is already crowded to the point of having no place to stand. The server of the [Zuiwang Jianghu] district is already showing signs of being fully occupied. Afraid that the server might crash, Sohu Online Game Company immediately installed five more servers, thus preventing everyone''s enthusiasm from being dampened by a server crash.


    Seeing that the Rebirth Hall was about to collapse from the crowd, Jiang Siming clicked the "Summon Team" button, summoning all the players to the guild''s base. The guild base was soon stuffed with guild members, with people even standing on the garden rocks.


    Jiang Siming, seeing that his equipment was excellent, clicked on the "Guild PK" option and said to everyone, "Come on, let''s have a PK, all of you come at me!"


    The audience laughed and mocked Ming Shen for not having any shame, saying that he, a fully-geared max-level player, asking a group of level-zero newbies for a PK, was just too shameless. However, everyone still cooperated with Jiang Siming, doing their best to keep Jiang Dala happy; these water friends were really going all out.


    As the PK began, Jiang Siming rode a divine beast, adorned with a pile of golden and opulent-looking armor and weapons. Looking at the over ten thousand players standing opposite Jiang Siming, all of them were newbies... holding the small wooden swords given as new player gifts...


    The wealth gap is just too big...


    Many viewers laughed, saying this was a true portrayal of RMB players and ordinary players. This screenshot even went viral unintentionally. After the fight started, Jiang Siming''s giant blade swept through a large area with one swing. Since it was a PK within the guild, the players who were killed would respawn on the spot with no losses. Jiang Siming was having a great time, his divine beast stomping to kill in large numbers, and his skills causing even more deaths; the over ten thousand players had no ability to resist at all.


    "Hahahaha, I''m invincible!" Jiang Siming laughed loudly. But he didn''t know that the game also had balance; even if he was fully geared, Zero-number players attacking him would still cause him to lose base health. -1, -1, -1... These numbers seemed insignificant, but after being attacked non-stop by tens of thousands of players, Jiang Siming''s health began to drop noticeably.


    Jiang Siming, who was in the heat of the battle, didn''t even check his own health. It wasn''t until he was about to use another super ultimate move. "Noble [Rice mixed with snot and an egg], you have been beaten to death by a crowd of 9999+."


    Jiang Siming: "...."

 Chapter 243: Afraid to Meet the Parents

    In "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils 2," I played for a few hours, didn''t keep PKing, just rode the divine beast around to check out the scenery in the game. It must be said, the scenery in the new Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is no less beautiful than the scenery in Sky Blade, and it was very nice to look at.


    Jiang Siming also enjoyed it very much. Furthermore, he told his fans that he would come to this game every week to take a look, and at that time, he would PPK with them or take them to do some guild tasks. In the end, Jiang Siming promoted several loyal fans who had been supporting him in his live stream, and also appointed a girl named [Snot Xiaoxianyu] as the deputy leader, to help manage his Snot guild. [Snot Xiaoxianyu] is actually one of Jiang Siming''s female emperors, who has been in his live stream since the beginning, and is a loyal female fan. Moreover, she is very enthusiastic, helping to manage the fish bar and QQ group, and answering questions for new viewers during the live stream.


    So, Jiang Siming promoted her to deputy leader effortlessly because he doesn''t play this game often. Finally, Jiang Siming sang "Rivals" again, satisfying the audience''s mood, and then said goodbye to end the live stream. Today''s frequent broadcast at noon was for not streaming in the evening, to accompany his wife. To make this guy diligent, it is really too difficult. When he went off-stream, Lin Yuner was still sitting in the study and could sit by Jiang Siming to watch him work, even if he didn''t have time to interact with her, she still felt it was better than watching any TV drama~


    "Oppa, are you done?" Seeing Jiang Siming shut down the computer, Lin Yuner finally dared to speak.


    "Yeah, didn''t you get tired from sitting? I will carry you to sleep." Jiang Siming smiled and easily lifted Lin Yuner from the chair, as if lifting a doll. Just when he was about to do some ''post-work exercise,'' Jiang Siming''s phone rang; it was a WeChat video call, and the caller was his mother.


    "It''s a video from my mom, do you want to answer it?" Jiang Siming asked with a mischievous smile at the girl in his arms, Lin Yun''er. When Lin Yun''er heard it was Jiang Siming''s mother, she shook her head wildly. It''s not that she didn''t want to meet her; she was afraid and nervous, plus she hadn''t put on any makeup today, appearing in her natural state.


    "Don''t worry, you''re still super beautiful without makeup," Jiang Siming comforted her. He also wanted to make his parents happy.


    He was no longer young, already twenty-five, and in his hometown, most men in their early twenties were already married. Both of Jiang Siming''s two cousins had married at the age of nineteen. The boys of his generation in the same village had long since settled down, and some of their children were several years old already. Only he had not moved in that direction, and his parents and grandparents were very anxious about it, not wanting to put pressure on Jiang Siming. But Lin Yun''er was still not prepared at all; she hadn''t even learned Chinese yet.


    "Oppa, wait until I learn Chinese properly before we video chat with your parents, okay? Please, I''m begging you," Lin Yun''er pleaded, her face full of request.


    "Alright, since you called them ''Mom and Dad'' so easily, I''ll let you off this time," Jiang Siming said with a hearty laugh.


    "They are supposed to be called ''Mom and Dad,'' hehe~" Lin Yun''er blushed and giggled as she ran downstairs, probably afraid of being discovered. Jiang Siming shook his head and laughed, then opened the WeChat video call. In it, his mother''s somewhat aged but still dignified and beautiful face appeared.


    "Son, are you busy? If you are, Mom will call you back later," Jiang''s mother said.


    "Not busy, Mom, how did you learn to use WeChat?" Jiang Siming asked with a smile, as his father and mother had never used such high-tech products before.


    "Tell Dad, I''ll help with this matter. I can find him a professional team in Shanghai. There are many such masters here."


    "No need, don''t trouble you doing what. Let Dad busy himself, he now leaves early and returns late every day, I don''t know if he is carousing in the city with the luxury car you bought." Mother Jiang complained.


    Jiang Siming laughed and said, "Don''t you know Dad''s character, how could he have that courage?"


    "That''s true, if he dared to carouse, I wouldn''t let him in our door, I''d make him roll out~" Mother Jiang said with a proud smile.


    "It''s settled, Mom, this matter is on me, I have not much to do these days." Jiang Siming said as he walked downstairs.


    Mother Jiang also noticed that the place where Jiang Siming was looked very luxurious and asked curiously, "Son, is this the house you rented?"


    "Not rented, bought, bought a villa in Shanghai. When I finish this busy period, I''ll bring you to Shanghai to stay for a while, how about that?" Jiang Siming asked with a smile.


    "You bought it?" Mother Jiang''s voice raised several decibels, and the uncles there also began to talk.


    "Little Ming bought a house in Shanghai? Truly impressive!"


    "Hearing that Shanghai''s house is very expensive, right? I heard from Hu Zi''s family that one square meter costs tens of thousands."


    "Tens of thousands is for the suburbs, didn''t hear Little Ming say it, he bought a villa, that''s very expensive."


    "Wow, Little Ming is really making it big now."

 Chapter 244: Yin Zhirou Gets Dragged Into It

    "Son, quickly show Mom, how''s your villa?" Mother Jiang said curiously.


    Jiang Siming smiled, turned the phone camera around, and walked around the villa holding the phone, even shooting outside the courtyard. The Jiang family was all shocked by this luxurious mansion of Jiang Siming''s. People from the countryside hadn''t seen such luxury in a developed city, naturally they were very surprised.


    Even in Shanghai, Jiang Siming''s mansion was a high-end building, in a location that might not be bought even if one had the money. While Jiang Siming was filming the video, Lin Yuner was crouching in the corner of the sofa like a little mouse, cautiously peeking from a place Jiang Siming couldn''t see. Jiang Siming was about to return inside from outside the courtyard when Yin Zirou, who had just finished work, happened to come back.


    Jiang Siming''s phone accidentally filmed her, and before he could move the camera away, she was already spotted by the keen-eyed Mother Jiang and Jiang Wanwan.


    "Son, who is this?" Mother Jiang, like she had discovered a new continent, was even more delighted than when she saw Jiang Siming''s mansion.


    "Brother, is this your sister-in-law! So beautiful!" Jiang Wanwan also chimed in from the side. This immediately drew the attention of the entire family.


    "Where''s my granddaughter-in-law? Little Ming, let Grandma take a look."


    "Little Ming, you didn''t even tell us you found a girlfriend."


    "Where is she? I didn''t see her." Stay tuned with


    "The one who just went inside, she''s so pretty."...


    Yin Zirou, who was just entering the house, looked puzzled, listening to the phone and facing Jiang Siming, she wondered if she had come to the wrong place. Lin Yuner, who was in the house, couldn''t stop giggling, thinking that Sister Zirou was taking this ''tough job'' for her.


    Jiang Siming was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry, originally planning to keep it a secret a bit longer, but it was discovered anyway.


    "It''s just that we''ve only been dating for a short time, I was planning to tell you all later," Jiang Siming no longer intended to hide it.


    He pulled Yin Zhirou over and said, "My family wants to meet you, say hello."


    Ah?


    Yin Zhirou felt as if she had been electrocuted all over, her face turning bright red. Suddenly meeting the parents was unexpected, and she had no preparation.


    Yin Zhirou gave Jiang Siming a look filled with grievance and blame but ultimately chose to face it. She shakily took the phone and put on a ''teacher''s smile'' for the camera.


    "Uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma, hello..."


    Yin Zhirou felt calm when teaching students, but why was her voice trembling now?@@@@


    "What, not anxious? You''re 25 already, and the neighbor across the street..."


    "Alright, alright Mum, I get it. I need to go out for something, I''ll talk to you later, bye." Jiang Siming hastily ended the video call, wiping the sweat from his forehead. If they kept talking, he could guarantee that his mother would start preparing the banquet at home...


    While it wasn''t yet dark outside, Jiang Siming first went out to record the full version of ''Rivals'' and then called Principle Wang. His family was in real estate; upon hearing about Jiang Siming''s request, Principle Wang very generously assigned the best renovation team under his father''s command to Jiang Siming. Free service, free renovation.


    "Alright, I owe you one." Jiang Siming didn''t mince words with him.


    "Hehe, that''s more like it. You, Young Master Jiang, are really hard to owe a favor from." Principle Wang laughed heartily.


    "What Young Master Jiang, you''re flattering me too much."


    "Don''t try to fool me; tell me, how did you become a new shareholder of Huayi Brothers? When did you get ten percent of Huayi''s shares?"


    "You know about that?" Jiang Siming was taken aback.


    "Bro, this thing is already all over the entertainment circle, okay? You''re now the third largest shareholder of Huayi, just that no one knows who you are besides me." Principle Wang explained.


    He was quite shocked when he found out, so he just tested Jiang Siming just now. From the tone of his voice, he knew he had guessed right. What he didn''t know was that Jiang Siming still had a 20-point stake that he hadn''t collected yet. If he knew, he might have lost his cool.


    "Let me ask you again, is the person dating Lin Yun''er you? I saw the back view and it really looked like you, you bastard!" Principle Wang tested him again. However, this time Jiang Siming didn''t fall for it. He just brushed him off with a few casual words and hung up.


    "This guy, it must be him! Bloody hell, I just date a web celebrity, and he can ruin someone like Lin Yun''er too, the difference is too great..." Principle Wang said, glancing at a web celebrity sitting in his luxury car, playing with her phone.


    Thinking about Lin Yun''er''s appearance and temperament, he suddenly lost interest in this newly acquired web celebrity...


    "Boss Wang, where are we going to play? I want to go to a bar for a drink~" The web celebrity pouted, coquettishly to Principle Wang.


    "Screw it, I''ll take you home." Principle Wang said angrily.


    "What''s wrong, Boss Wang?" The female web celebrity looked bewildered and wronged.


    "Nothing, it has nothing to do with you. Driver, drive her home." Principle Wang said sulkily.


    People make each other sick, no, he needs to find two pretty female celebrities from Huayi and have Jiang Siming get their contact information. In the future, I, Young Master Wang, won''t mess around with web celebrities anymore!

 Chapter 245: Fan Festival Finals!

    At noon the next day. The Douyu live streaming platform enters its most competitive time. The finale of the Fans Festival is about to begin, and today will decide the top ten broadcasters of Douyu. All the agencies, guilds, and fans are eagerly awaiting today''s results. As soon as the final potential list is released, the top six broadcasters from each section begin to make their way onto the list. Even just the top six from each section, there are dozens of broadcasters competing against each other, and they are all top-line broadcasters on Douyu.


    The sections of LOL, PUBG, console games, DNF, and outdoors all have major broadcasters. For example, LOL has PDD, Da Sima, Da Anchun, and others; PUBG has the most, so I won''t list them out. There are also quite a few major broadcasters in the console games section, such as Nvliu, Afei, Yinzi, and others; There are many major broadcasters in the outdoors section as well, like Lanya, who may have fake popularity but still has impressive data, followed by 339, Fengfeng No.3, Zhengzhi Bo, and others.


    DNF has the fewest, but with the immensely popular Xuxubaby, who has the support of over eight million brave warriors, they cannot be overlooked. The funniest section is the appearance section, where the competition is no less intense than the game sections, with various unknown female broadcasters emerging. Although they are usually not recognized by name and their fans'' signs are just a few hundred, they can still vie for the throne in such fierce competition during the Fans Festival, challenging the major game broadcasters. Looking at their attire that matches the level of ladies in the red-light district, along with their coquettish voices, they shout their love for their fans, but in reality, after the stream ends, they love the rich people''s money.


    The most ridiculous thing is that there are actually fools who follow these entertainment companies in sending gifts, thinking that by getting a few kiss, "I love you," and "XXX is domineering and majestic" flattery from the female streamers, they feel that their lives have reached the pinnacle, the peak, so thrilling~


    Today, almost all the big spenders on Douyu are online, and the ''sense of battle'' in helping their own streamers PK down other streamers, the big spenders find very interesting. Within less than two hours after the start at 12 o''clock, the top ten potential streamers almost all exceeded 50 million in popularity. Dumb Dumb and Tuantuan also made it into the top ten, but they were quickly squeezed out.


    Currently, they are still striving. The competition for the top three is even more terrifying.


    NO.1, [Qian Xiaojia] Potential Value: 230 million


    NO.2, [PDD] Potential Value: 150 million


    NO.3, [XuXu Baby] Potential Value: 130 million


    The top three potential values have all broken 100 million. Many viewers could understand the results of the last two streamers, but who is reasonable for the last two streamers'' results, but who is this Qian Xiaojia? They haven''t even heard of him, let alone watched his streams.


    How could his results be higher than PDD and XuXu Baby? Qian Xiaojia, who is currently streaming, is beaming with confidence. This time he has ample support; with the company''s 700 million fish fins, he can truly do as he pleases. Having only spent over 20 million so far, he has already subdued the two long-standing top streamers.


    Unfortunately, Jiang Siming hasn''t started streaming yet, otherwise, he would probably be laughing out loud.


    If they truly want to flirt with girls, the tens of thousands are enough for them to gather a large number of attractive women to wait on them, ensuring all types included. Therefore, the Emperor fans in major broadcasters'' hands are also few, being scarce resources. But upon seeing the Emperors in Jiang Siming''s room, all are stunned by the mindset. This Emperor has more followers than the marquess in their own live room...


    From the moment Jiang Siming starts streaming, the gifts in the live room surge like a geyser oil gushing out of the screen. Ten minutes, potential value: 50 million. Half an hour, potential value: 180 million. One hour, potential value: 300 million. Two hours, potential value: 480 million.


    In a total of two hours, Jiang Siming dominated the rankings again, taking the first place!


    NO.1, [Ming] potential value: 480 million.


    NO.2, [Qian Xiaojia] potential value: 390 million.


    NO.3, [Xuxu Baobao] potential value: 340 million.


    NO.4, [PDD] potential value: 320 million.


    Despite starting three hours later, Jiang Siming not only caught up but also surpassed the second place, Qian Xiaojia, with nearly 10 million yuan in gifts. The strength of this new Douyu top streamer was jaw-dropping. However, everyone knew this was far from over; rather, it was just the start of today''s show.


    Seeing Jiang Siming catch up so easily, PDD, Xuxu Baobao, and Qian Xiaojia were not about to give up and immediately pursued with all their might. At this point, a single rocket donation would be invisible, overshadowed by the constant stream of Super Fires and Spaceships.


    Qian Xiaojia''s company began to operate, dropping a total of 30 million yuan in gifts in one go! This move immediately overtook Jiang Siming, putting Qian Xiaojia at 700 million potential value, surpassing Jiang Siming''s 540 million, leading the pack. However, Jiang Siming''s side was not to be underestimated; in the first two rounds of the qualifying matches, Jiang Siming''s fan badges increased to over 3.9 million. Enjoy new adventures from


    Now, with these users stepping up, Jiang Siming''s potential value shot up like a rocket. Everyone contributed their utmost strength. In less than twenty minutes, the potential value soared to 1 billion! Successfully reclaiming the top spot. However, the ''energy'' of ordinary fans is basically exhausted, just like in a war, at the beginning they are all ordinary soldiers, but by the middle, the ordinary troops are basically all used up. This means that if Jiang Siming wants to push further, he will have to rely on the rich.

 Chapter 246: Overtaken

    Jiang Siming¡¯s 1 billion potential value, eighty percent of it, was driven by the power of ordinary fans. Most of his wealthy fans haven¡¯t even started to show their strength yet, and even if some did, many of the wealthy fans still have the energy to do more. When PDD and Xuxu Baby saw this potential value, their faces were filled with bitter smiles.


    "Dammit, let¡¯s just fight for second place, this guy is too inhuman," PDD said with a bitter laugh, having just spent a few million themselves on gifts, but it was like a drop in the bucket.


    "Damn, don¡¯t try to sway me anymore, I really don¡¯t have the desire to be first now, let¡¯s just strive for second place, okay," Xuxu Baby also gave up. This is the highest potential value since the Douyu Fans Festival began, at 1 billion! And he hasn¡¯t even been live for three hours yet. Xuxu Baby only managed to hit 500 million last year and was still outdone by Qian Xiaojia.


    Thinking about it, it really is terrifying, this Jiang Siming, his growth speed is like the ¡¯Kun¡¯ in a web game, starting with one Kun, and all equipment gained through consumption. The two veteran number one figures also sighed in their hearts, it seems the position of Douyu¡¯s number one is gradually slipping away from them, a new generation of people is replacing the old. But thinking about Jiang Siming¡¯s live stream content, they also believe that it¡¯s hard for him not to be popular.


    His stream content is so diverse that it can attract all kinds of different fans, not just game fans, but also music fans, looks fans, and voice fans, among others. Compared to them, who only excel in gaming, Jiang Siming is clearly at a much greater advantage. The live streaming market now is not what it used to be, when anyone could become famous easily. The current live streaming market is already saturated; new streamers without a special skill would have to depend on powerful support from major figures or from the company to gain popularity.@@@@


    With the two Douyu top streamers out of the competition, only the struggle between Jiang Siming and Qian Xiaojia remains. This struggle, however, is more like a battle between ordinary fans and talent agencies. No one really thought that Qian Xiaojia could stand up to Jiang Siming; everyone was just wary of the brokerage company behind him. But when they saw Jiang Siming¡¯s potential value exceed 1 billion, everyone felt it was pretty much secured.


    "It¡¯s basically settled, 1 billion potential value, 100 million gifts, I don¡¯t believe Qian Xiaojia¡¯s company can even match that."


    "The big spenders don¡¯t even need to step in, the battle is over."


    "Don¡¯t be too confident, we still vividly remember the incident last year when Xuxu Baby¡¯s tower was stolen."


    "That¡¯s right, I heard a big spender say that Qian Xiaojia¡¯s company has topped up several hundred million fish fins this year, all bought under the last-minute low-price contract."


    "Qian Xiaojia still needs 300 million potential value, there¡¯s no need to panic at all."...


    "What¡¯s with these hundred nobles in the room? What¡¯s the deal with having no points in mind?"


    "Just brush it off! Let the rotten-toothed streamer know how powerful Ming God¡¯s live stream is!"


    "The emperors are coming out to work!"...


    Actually, there was no need for these barrage calls to action, the nobles had already started automatically. Duke [Toba Zhi] donated 100 membership cards in Ming¡¯s live room! Duke [Liu Shihan] donated 10 rockets in Ming¡¯s live room! King [Mo Dao Qianren] donated 10 super rockets in Ming¡¯s live room! Emperor [Leng Wenrou] donated 20 super rockets in Ming¡¯s live room! Emperor [Yu Xiaosha] donated 50 super rockets in Ming¡¯s live room!... RA?¦­??§¦?s?


    A large number of nobles began to exert their strength, gifts flew wildly. Jiang Siming¡¯s potential value in his live streaming room skyrocketed at an unprecedented rate! With a large number of rich patrons contributing, it was naturally much higher than the gift values from ordinary fans. Find more chapters on


    With rapid jumps, several times per second, just five minutes later, Jiang Siming¡¯s potential value had soared to 1.5 billion! Qian Xiaojia was not worried at first, but as he saw the other party¡¯s potential value shoot up relentlessly, he started to feel a bit anxious. However, he then thought about the several hundred million fish fins (a type of gift) backing him and wondered why he should be afraid!


    "Since someone wants to compete with us, let¡¯s see it through to the end, guys, let¡¯s go!" Qian Xiaojia shouted, and the gifts in the live streaming room soared again. However, while Jiang Siming had hundreds of thousands of nobles contributing together, Qian Xiaojia only had a few familiar faces.


    Qian Xiaojia was frustrated when he saw that only the company was giving him gifts, while Jiang Siming¡¯s live streaming room was filled with enthusiastic fans giving gifts.


    "Guys, start giving gifts! How about this, I¡¯ll draw a lottery, a hundred thousand yuan! One rocket can enter the draw, a chance to win a hundred thousand for five hundred!"


    Unfortunately, very few people participated in the lottery, fearing there might be a catch, and no one fell for it. Qian Xiaojia was infuriated, almost losing his temper. These guys are really stingy! Why are they giving gifts to Jiang Siming but not to him!

 Chapter 247: The Tycoon Exerts Influence

    Emperor [Li Jiaotu] sent 10 spaceships in [Ming]¡¯s live broadcast room!


    Emperor [Xiaoyao Zizai] sent 20 spaceships in [Ming]¡¯s live broadcast room!


    Emperor [Qi Yuan] sent 20 spaceships in [Ming]¡¯s live broadcast room!


    Emperor [Ji Baitown Kediao] sent 50 super rockets in [Ming]¡¯s live broadcast room!


    ...


    Among the more than three million nobles in Jiang Siming¡¯s live broadcast room, even if only 20% of them were willing to send gifts, the effect would be unprecedented.@@@@


    20% of three million is 600,000 nobles, and each sending one plane would total 60 million, but these nobles sent far more than one plane.


    On average, they started with one rocket, which is still dragged down by many Chevalier titles; otherwise, it would be even more shocking.


    On average, one rocket is equivalent to 500 yuan, 600,000 times 500, which equals 3 billion! This also represents a potential value of 30 billion!


    After nearly an hour of gift bombardment, these first-line nobles finally ran out of their ¡¯ammunition.¡¯


    Jiang Siming¡¯s potential value was pushed to a terrifying 4.5 billion!


    This crazy number, which no one could have imagined, refreshed the live broadcasting gift record to a shocking degree!


    Receiving 400 million yuan in gifts in half a day is something no platform has ever achieved.


    Even the audience from rival platforms were attracted, with many people rushing over to see for themselves after hearing that Douyu had a host who received hundreds of millions in gifts, all with a look of disbelief.


    Even many entertainment media outlets were surprised.


    Jiang Siming, now the focus of everyone¡¯s attention, still calmly sang songs in the live broadcast room as if nothing had happened.


    He had no heart for gaming today, so it was better to sing a few songs for everyone.


    Seeing the comments in the chat, Jiang Siming frowned and sincerely advised everyone, "I really feel your support, it¡¯s overwhelming, but I hope everyone can be rational in their spending and not act on impulse. Whether we get first place or not, we¡¯ve done our best. Regardless of the ranking, don¡¯t lose your rationality."


    After saying this, Jiang Siming said something that almost made the audience doubt their ears.


    "Those who have spent all their living expenses, leave your ID and transaction screenshot in the fish bar. If it¡¯s verified to be you, I will personally ask the super admin to help return half of the cash to you. I can¡¯t let you overspend for my sake."


    After these words, millions of viewers were moved. It¡¯s usually only the streamers constantly asking for gifts; who would think of returning them after receiving them?


    Moreover, if this were to be returned, Jiang Siming would have to come up with at least tens of millions of yuan! After all, so many people have sent gifts.


    But surprisingly, even though Jiang Siming was willing to return the money out of his own pocket, very few people in the fish bar posted their screenshots.


    Instead, they were mostly comforting Jiang Siming.


    "Don¡¯t worry, Ming God, I was just joking; I still have some left." Find your next read on


    "Ming God, you¡¯re too considerate, but if you can send gifts, you must have the means."


    "You are the most considerate streamer I¡¯ve seen. For these words alone, I, who have never sent gifts before, will send 100 yuan to show my support!"


    "We don¡¯t want the cash back. If you could stream a bit longer in the future, we would be more than satisfied."


    ...


    These comments are the truest expression of Jiang Siming¡¯s fans¡¯ hearts. They just love watching Jiang Siming¡¯s live streams, and even if it costs them some money to help boost his rankings, they are willing to do so without expecting anything in return. Jiang Siming had nothing much to say and could only leave a few words of thanks to everyone.


    Despite this, Qian Xiaojia¡¯s potential value slowly overtook Jiang Siming¡¯s, which had somewhat come to a halt. Currently, Qian Xiaojia has a potential value of 6 billion, while Jiang Siming only has 5.6 billion. In fact, Qian Xiaojia¡¯s company is also a bit anxious. They have already used up all their stock to brush six billion fish fins. They don¡¯t just have Qian Xiaojia as a streamer; they have also invested over one billion into other streams. Therefore, Qian Xiaojia¡¯s company has already started to pray, praying that Jiang Siming¡¯s fans won¡¯t brush any more, otherwise they will have no stock left at all.


    "Don¡¯t worry, he has reached his limit. Unless he pays out of his own pocket, if he pays out of his own pocket, our company will top up another ten million to match him. Even if the low-price contract is gone, it doesn¡¯t matter; how much can he pay out of his own pocket after all?" the chairman of the company said nonchalantly.


    Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaojia was so pleased that he even played a victorious battle song in the live room, celebrating his advance to become the number one on Douyu. Being overtaken by 400 million, the people in Ming God¡¯s live room felt somewhat disheartened. Could individual strength ultimately not match up to a brokerage company? What the hell kind of monster is this brokerage company? Emperor [Traveling Frog Wah Ge] entered the live room.

 Chapter 248: Fierce Competition

    At this moment, the arrival of an emperor ID, Principle Wang, boosted the morale of Jiang Siming¡¯s audience!


    "Principle Wang is here!"


    "Principle Wang, you finally came!"


    "Waiting for you until the flowers wilted~"


    "Principle Wang, I¡¯ve been waiting for you."


    "As long as Principle Wang helps Ming God to win the first place, I¡¯ll still acknowledge you as the national husband~"


    The moment Principle Wang entered, the confidence of Ming god¡¯s fans soared back, but with a gap of 40 million still existing, everyone started to worry a bit. Although Wang Headmaster has a good relationship with Jiang Siming, would he give a few tens of millions of gifts for him?


    It feels a bit unlikely, it¡¯s estimated that even giving a few million would already feel like a big expense. When calculated out, it seems that Jiang Siming would still lose.


    "The bastards helping the agency are really despicable, I have heard, this shitcrap company signed a 100 million contract, no wonder they could surpass you." After Principle Wang came in, he posted a comment to tease.


    However, after making the joke, Principle Wang started to give gifts. Emperor [Travel Frog Brother] sent 100 spaceships in [Ming]¡¯s live streaming room!


    Emperor [Travel Frog Brother] sent 200 super rockets in [Ming]¡¯s live streaming room!


    Emperor [Travel Frog Brother] sent 100 spaceships in [Ming]¡¯s live streaming room!


    Emperor [Travel Frog Brother] sent 200 super rockets in [Ming]¡¯s live streaming room!...


    The shower of gifts was overwhelming, and this effect belonged to Principle Wang alone. In just a short while, Principle Wang has given gifts worth more than 30 million. And it¡¯s not over yet, not only that, Principle Wang apparently borrowed other accounts and created a total of ten sub-accounts.


    User [Travel Frog Brother 1] upgraded to [Count] status in [Ming]¡¯s live streaming room.


    User [Travel Frog Brother 1] upgraded to [Duke] status in [Ming]¡¯s live streaming room....


    ¡¾KingEmperor¡¿, then ¡¾Traveling Frog Brother¡¿ No. 2, No. 3, No. 4... No. 10.


    At this moment, Qian Xiaojia¡¯s company was dead silent. The chairman slammed the table and rose in anger, saying, "It¡¯s just twenty million, go and recharge thirty million for me!"


    "Thirty million is a one-to-one ratio, chairman."


    "One-to-one, then one-to-one, go!"


    Qian Xiaojia¡¯s chairman clenched the electronic pipe in his mouth and said with deep resentment, "We¡¯ve already invested so much, if we only get second place, our company will suffer a huge loss. We must get first place today!"


    "Chairman, but our company has already invested several hundred million over the past few days. The finance department is struggling to pay the female streamers¡¯ salaries now."


    "If we can¡¯t pay this month, we¡¯ll pay next month, what¡¯s there to be afraid of! As long as we get first place, the benefits from the buzz created will quickly make up for the losses."


    "Several advertising sponsors have already called, saying that we¡¯ll immediately get several tens of millions in advertising fees if we get first place!"


    "Chairman is mighty!"...


    Qian Xiaojia¡¯s brokerage company was now in a desperate situation. If they could have pulled back at the beginning, it was impossible to do so now. They had to get first place; otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain, and they would lose everything. The recharge was quickly completed, and in Qian Xiaojia¡¯s live streaming room, the gifts started pouring in again! An hour later, they smoothly overtook Jiang Siming, bringing the potential value to 6.3 billion!


    When Ming God¡¯s fans learned of this news, their faces turned pale. It seemed like only a one-billion potential value gap, but that was a gift worth ten million yuan. Currently, Jiang Siming¡¯s fans had already run out of resources, where could they come up with ten million? It was already eight o¡¯clock in the evening, with only four hours left before the final ended. Just as everyone was wearing worried expressions, and Principle Wang was considering whether to invest more.


    Emperor [Douyu Xuan] entered the live streaming room...


    This ID was only known by Jiang Siming¡¯s old fans. It belonged to one of Ming God¡¯s goddess-level big spenders. She usually brushed a lot of gifts, totaling several million in total. She was not someone they held much hope for, and even less did they think she could donate ten million in one go.


    But something that left everyone stunned did happen. Emperor [Douyu Xuan] gave a reward of 1000 spaceships in [Ming]¡¯s live stream!


    Emperor [Douyu Xuan] gave a reward of 1000 spaceships in [Ming]¡¯s live stream!


    Emperor [Douyu Xuan] gave a reward of 1000 spaceships in [Ming]¡¯s live stream!


    There were no super rockets, no rockets, only the most expensive spaceships! One spaceship costs 5000 yuan, 1000 of them, that¡¯s 5 million! Everyone quickly counted how many times 1000 appeared. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

 Chapter 249: Bet on All the Rotten Teeth Company

    17, 18, 19, 20! After the 20th time brushing a thousand spaceships, ¡¾Douyu Xuan¡¿ finally stopped. But these 20 times, she had already brushed one hundred million fish fins, which means she helped Jiang Siming increase his potential value by one billion!


    Oh my god!!!! The audience was almost driven crazy with excitement! With the arrival of Principle Wang, everyone thought he was the strongest force, but they didn¡¯t expect there to be an even more powerful female tycoon who brushed one hundred million!


    "Rich lady, please take care of me!"


    "Steel wool, Joy Fire, I can accept them all, please bestow your favor~"


    "Turns out she¡¯s also a hidden super tycoon, and she¡¯s a girl!"


    "If I can rely on this wealthy sister, wouldn¡¯t I not have to worry for several lifetimes?"


    "Wow, wealthy little sister, please take care of me~~"


    "Forget it, she might be an auntie."


    "I want her even if she¡¯s an auntie! As long as she approves of me!"...


    The audience worshipped Zhao Xuan, and male dirtbags knelt to lick her. But they didn¡¯t know that Zhao Xuan was also on a low-cost contract, and even lower than those management companies. She only paid out a maximum of four to five million for brushing one hundred million. Zhao Xuan used ten million to brush three hundred million fish fins for the company, and she still had two hundred million left to use.


    The audience didn¡¯t know the inside story, so they naturally regarded her as a ¡¯god.¡¯ Ming God¡¯s fans were happy, but Qian Xiaojia¡¯s management company was dumbfounded.


    No. 1, ¡¾Ming¡¿ potential value: 7.2 billion.


    No. 2, ¡¾Qian Xiaojia¡¿ potential value: 6.3 billion.


    There was another gap of nine hundred million, and the atmosphere at Qian Xiaojia¡¯s company plummeted to hell. 900 million, this number is now a astronomical figure to them. The previous few hundred million had been spent, and the finance department couldn¡¯t even pay the salaries. Even though Qian Xiaojia¡¯s management company is known as the largest live streaming platform management company, they are currently in a state of panic.


    "Chairman, we should probably give up, the other party is not worth it at all! There are too many big spenders," a senior official advised.@@@@


    The chairman¡¯s face turned ashen with rage: "If we give up now, it would mean all the hundreds of millions we have invested so far have been wasted! The difference between first and second isn¡¯t just a matter of ranking; don¡¯t you do you understand this?"


    Jiang Siming also thought that the first place was secure But who would have thought that Qian Xiaojia Company¡¯s determination to surpass him was unbelievable. Before long, they started to brush up again! When the audience saw Qian Xiaojia¡¯s potential value rising again, even though it hadn¡¯t even reached 7.2 billion, they still had a ominous premonition.


    The other side isn¡¯t stupid; if they didn¡¯t have a good chance of being the first, why would they still brush? Now that he started brushing, it meant he was going to surpass 7.2 billion. Sure enough, at ten o¡¯clock in the evening, the gifts in Qian Xiaojia¡¯s live stream finally stopped. And his potential value actually reached 8.3 billion, overtaking Jiang Siming by 1.1 billion in gift value.


    Just when everyone was starting to feel despair, [Douyu Xuan] went all out! This time it was even more intense, splashing in 200 million! It took 40 rounds of space shuttles before it cooled down. This caused Jiang Siming¡¯s potential value to surpass Qian Xiaojia again, reaching a terrifying 9.2 billion, almost close to 10 billion. This battle not only drew the attention of the entire live streaming industry but also attracted the attention of media such as Sina, Baidu, and Tencent.


    They even began to report on this news continuously. [Douyu Fan Festival rakes in tens of billions in profit in a day, demonstrating the high profitability of the live streaming industry!] Tencent News reported.


    [To rank first, a million fans help, sending nearly 10 billion worth of gifts, surpassing a deceased shout-streamer to become the new King of Live Streaming!] Baidu News reported.


    [Famous PUBG world champion and internet¡¯s hottest singer Ming, makes nearly 10 billion in one day of live streaming, making money like a superstar, no wonder he doesn¡¯t enter the entertainment industry! ] Sina Weibo News reported.


    [Principle Wang spends 60 million on a streamer but is only second place! A generous woman appears on Douyu to splurge 300 million!] Sohu Entertainment News reported....


    This fan festival has left the Douyu executives completely speechless, never imagining it would cause such a huge ¡¯earthquake¡¯. It has become so significant that people from all walks of life have started to pay attention to it. This has delighted the Douyu executives, as they are naturally happier the more attention it gets.


    It¡¯s not as if it¡¯s a bad thing, just a competition of financial strength; even if it gets reported, so what? Last year, two figurines sold for several hundred million and were widely reported, and not only was there no trouble, but they even received praise from CCTV News.


    The one suffering the most right now is none other than Lanya Company, who are deeply fearful after seeing Jiang Siming¡¯s potential value of 9.2 billion. The chairman threw everything he could on his desk but still couldn¡¯t alleviate his boiling anger.


    He has considered quitting, but if he does so now, his company would lose 800 million, with 200 million of it being external debt. This is a loss he can¡¯t afford, and even less can he afford to lose.


    "Borrow more!" The chairman is a tough character and has decided to go all in.


    "But we¡¯ve already borrowed from everyone, and they won¡¯t lend us any more money."


    "Then use my company and all the streamers under me as collateral, and go borrow!" This method is somewhat effective, but they could only borrow 100 million, which is already the limit of what the company can offer. Qian Xiaojia¡¯s previously confident and strong demeanor has disappeared; he just learned that if he loses this time, the company will immediately sell him to another agency to pay off the debt, and not only that, he would also owe the company 300 million.


    After learning this news, Qian Xiaojia was almost scared stiff. Despite appearing like a tycoon in his broadcasts, that¡¯s all just a facade created by the company. In reality, he only earns a salary and bonus from the company, barely counting as a small celebrity making ten thousand yuan a month. To make him pay 300 million would mean he couldn¡¯t afford it even if he sold his flesh and bones! Continue your adventure at

 Chapter 250: The Fan Festival Concludes

    Qian Xiaojia at this point was already regretting competing with Jiang Siming, as he could not afford to lose. However, it was no longer about whether he wanted to compete or not; it was also not within his control. Qian Xiaojia could only pray for the company to win this competition, and he began to plea for gifts in the livestream, hoping for every little bit that could be gotten.

    But his earnest pleadings went unheeded by those viewers who used to wait in his livestream for daily giveaways, as well as the room managers he had promoted.


    "I¡¯m on my knees for you all, folks, give me a hand, really, a hand please!" Qian Xiaojia even began to kneel and beg for gifts in the livestream, this pitiful gesture successfully evoked the sympathy of many viewers, and they gave him tens of thousands in gifts. Only now did Qian Xiaojia realize what he truly had in terms of genuine fans. Even resorting to such measures as kneeling only yielded him a few tens of thousands in gifts.


    This former top streamer of Douyu¡¯s Fan Festival turned out to be such a flop. Another 100 million went from the company, bringing the current potential value to 930 million, surpassing Jiang Siming¡¯s 10 million in gifts. Qian Xiaojia gazedsthis eyes at Jiang Siming¡¯s livestream, confirming that [Douyu Xuan] had not contributed, allowing him a slight breath of relief.


    "It seems that this Big Spender has also runout of funds, for Jiang Siming¡¯s livestream to muster the next 10 million in gifts is unimaginable!" Qian Xiaojia¡¯s heart raced wildly, various thoughts urged him to hope that time would move on faster, quickly past 12 o¡¯clock, allowing him to secure the top position without further countdown.


    "Do I have to contribute myself again? You give me the contact information of a few of your Huayi¡¯s female celebrities, and I¡¯ll help you rush to first, deal?" Jiang Siming, upon seeing the private message sent by Principle Wang, not only declined but also sent back a contemptuous emoticon.


    Jiang Siming was also pondering, contemplating whether it was worth the effort to dig into his pockets to maintain the number one spot. But at this moment, a white-number user ran into Jiang Siming¡¯s live broadcast room, and immediately activated the Emperor status!


    The user [Qian Yi Xiao Gai Gai] in [Ming]¡¯s live room activated the [emperor] status!


    Emperor [Qian Yi Xiao Gai Gai] in [Ming]¡¯s live room gifted a spaceship x1000!


    Emperor [Qian Yi Xiao Gai Gai] in [Ming]¡¯s live room gifted a spaceship x1000!@@@@


    Moreover, he realized that from this moment on, he would become a debt slave. It was just like when Snake Brother, who cheated in games, switched platforms and was dragged back by Huya to pay breach-of-contract debts.


    The gifts and advertising sponsorships sent by fans every day would have nothing to do with him. He would only receive a basic salary from Huya and would have to work tirelessly streaming every day. Snake Brother only owed tens of millions, and even after more than a year, he hadn¡¯t paid it off. As for him...


    After twelve o¡¯clock passed smoothly, there was no so-called ¡¯sneak attack¡¯, and the only one who had a chance to carry out an attack, the corrupt fish anchor, had already broadcasted in a state of despair. Therefore, Jiang Siming following the logical path, won the fan festival champion this time, and established a record as the champion that no one had ever before.


    With billions potential value and 11 billion gift volume, Jiang Siming achieved a legend in the live streaming world. For almost a month afterwards, this news continued to be a hot topic among many people. This is only the post-talk, at the moment the most congratulations should go to Jiang Siming.


    It¡¯s no longer just about being the top one on Douyu, but it has escalated to a news level, becoming a focal topic of discussion. The heat around Jiang Siming does not need artificial promotion, it naturally continues to rise. Each timewhenew music is released, it will always receive much attention, this time it has reached its peak, a qualitative change. Plus today having no major news, thus Jiang Siming of becoming the top live streamer swept the entire night, making it to the top hot search items on Sina Weibo!


    Headline news like this will only ring in more people paying attention moving forward. This fan festival on douyu passed so smoothly, leading to immediate clean-up actions! Straightening all the violating broker companies, and disconnecting any contracts with low-price fish fins. Regarding this time¡¯s they themselves have gone bankrupt...


    This largest brokerage company in the live streaming industry, in less than a day of competing with Jiang Siming, owed several hundred million, not only losing the company but also mortgaging all the company¡¯s assets and the streamers. The chairman was imprisoned, and Qian Xiaojia was replaced by another brokerage company, but he continued to stream on Douyu.


    However, everyone understood that he was now in the same situation as Snake Bro, working for a living. Without the packaging as a tycoon and the help of a tycoon brokerage company, Qian Xiaojia¡¯s live streaming effects plummeted almost overnight.


    Qian Xiaojia changed from the tycoon outdoor show to wilderness survival. The brokerage company arranged for him to live stream wilderness survival in the deep mountains and forests, as it was more eye-catching. No more luxury cars and mansions, no more city nightlife, and certainly no so-called beauties (actors) surrounding him.


    Someone calculated for Qian Xiaojia that with his current live streaming performance, it would take at least forty years or more to pay off his three hundred million debt. This was still based on his S-level contract, because as the second on Douyu, he had benefits, and a ten-year S-level contract could be used to pay off some debts. But even so, he would likely spend the rest of his life trapped in the mountains and forests.

 Chapter 251: A Deceptive Front

    The fan festival has ended, Jiang Siming has achieved both fame and fortune, he has become the undisputed top male live streamer in China! And in one night, he made 720 million RMB, this is after the platform¡¯s share and tax deductions. From 1.12 billion to 720 million, it¡¯s a significant reduction, but this income is still very impressive. Of course, in terms of earnings, it still can¡¯t compare to the Douyu platform, which made over 4 billion RMB yesterday, becoming the envy of all live streaming platforms.


    Jiang Siming has also become a shareholder of Douyu in advance, to prevent rival platforms from poaching him. Without waiting for Jiang Siming to participate in the program, Douyu signed a new contract with him that night, not only changing his contract to the unique SSS level but also ceding 5% of Douyu¡¯s shares. Initially, they thought 3% would be enough, but to firmly secure Jiang Siming¡¯s loyalty, Douyu decided to cede 5%. Jiang Siming smoothly became a new shareholder of Douyu, although everyone doesn¡¯t know it yet. In addition to this, a large number of benefits await him as the top male live streamer on Douyu. A 20 million RMB bonus, although it pales in comparison to the income from gifts. There is also a three-month top recommendation on the Douyu homepage and in the search bar.


    This has a significant impact on streamers, just like the recommendation of novels on a novel website. With recommendations, there is traffic and popularity, and even though Jiang Siming is already the top male live streamer, this recommendation still provides enormous benefits. Moreover, for a full 90 days, this is also the reason why beauty streamers are eager to be in the top ten, as they need traffic only through recommendations. The rest include a dedicated live room interface, exclusive gifts, exclusive fan badges, exclusive chat messages, and more. These benefits are all for the audience. That night, the production team at Douyu asked for Jiang Siming¡¯s opinion on the design of his fan badge and his interest in exclusive gifts.@@@@


    It¡¯s the first time that the Douyu production team has proactively asked for the opinions of a streamer. For other streamers, they just go ahead and do it, not caring whether the streamer likes it or not. Jiang Siming expressed a little bit of his thoughts, and the next day, Douyu made a custom gift for Jiang Siming overnight. Jiang Siming¡¯s custom gift is a dynamic image of a cartoon handsome man playing the piano. Whenever a fan sends this gift, the screen will show a cartoon image of Jiang Siming playing the piano, with snowflakes falling, making it both cool and romantic.


    This gift is worth 99.99 RMB, symbolizing 99999 for Jiang Siming¡¯s live room. In addition, the rockets, super fires, and planes in Jiang Siming¡¯s live room all have the character ¡¯Ming¡¯. Furthermore, as long as someone is in the top ten on the weekly and total contribution charts in Jiang Siming¡¯s live room, even if they send gifts in other live rooms, they will appear with the ¡¯Ming¡¯ character custom feature.


    "You two are a bit over the top, showing such affection in front of so many people, Old Jiang, be careful that Qianyi¡¯s admirers might beat you up," Wei Shen teased.


    "If I had a girl like that who liked me, I wouldn¡¯t have to worry about anything for the rest of my life."...


    Xingmu and Aluka teased each other. In the match, Wang Duo Yu didn¡¯t come, and the old player Aruka was put in his place. This was also to give Aruka a bit more care, ever since Jiang Si Ming joined the team, Aruka has faced the situation of having no games to play. Although he knows that his age is catching up with him and he can¡¯t keep up with the technology, his passion still drives him to want to stay on the competition stage. With Jiang Siming around, it¡¯s hard to lose, so it¡¯s like giving the old teammate a chance to be happy, letting him play a few rounds.


    "The game has started, guys, let¡¯s get moving." As soon as the game started, Jiang Siming refocused his attention on the match; having a girlfriend was much less important than winning the game.


    This round, the map changed to the desert map. But Jiang Siming still chose to play solo. He really wanted to fly with the SJ team again, but without the [Game Program Modifier], he had no way of knowing where SJ would land. So he chose to land at the grandest place on the map, the mansion, only to find out that the mansion was completely empty.


    "I should have landed at the truck stop, sigh, another boring search for gear." Jiang Siming let out a sigh of frustration. Without any enemies around, he even changed his posture, leaning back in his chair, feeling like a slacker.

 Chapter 252: Is the First Person Crushed to Death?

    A bright light from the direction of the mansion made Jiang Siming¡¯s whole body tremble with excitement! This is... black??? No, the black fragments he had obtained before were never this light, this is gray! How could there be gray fragments? Jiang Siming was very surprised; could this be considered a new color fragment? He must get it! Jiang Siming immediately flew towards it.@@@@


    But as he got closer, he was stunned; the fragment was actually on the top of a tall water tower outside the mansion. This water tower was over ten meters high; if he landed on it, he would fall to his death.


    "Damn, messing with me, if I die in a random match, so be it, but this is a competition." Jiang Siming mentally cursed ten times in a second. If he fell to his death from the water tower, wouldn¡¯t his reputation be ruined...


    But now there was no time for Jiang Siming to hesitate; if he delayed any longer, he would land, and landing would mean he would miss out on this fragment. No matter what, even if he was laughed at, it was better than missing the fragment. Besides, it was normal for experts to make occasional mistakes; what was there to laugh about? Jiang Siming decisively pulled his parachute, landing precisely on top of the water tower. The camera often focused on Jiang Siming, so this scene was captured perfectly. Pfft! Hahaha...


    Seeing Jiang Siming standing on the water tower, everyone couldn¡¯t help but burst out laughing. Even Qiyi couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth. This kind of scene was common among new players who didn¡¯t pull their parachutes well and ended up landing on high places, such as lighthouses, chimneys, or cliffs. Then they would fall to their deaths. But to see this happen to the number one player in PUBG, it was hard for anyone not to laugh.


    "God Ming probably didn¡¯t notice, right?" the on-site commentator Cheng Hui said, trying hard not to laugh.


    "He probably didn¡¯t notice; he was too focused on the positions of the other players," Qiyi quickly chimed in to ease the awkwardness for Jiang Siming.


    "However, what can Ming God do now? He should wait for his teammates to come and help him, but 4am¡¯s landing place is quite far away. It looks like Ming God will have to enjoy the view from the water tower for a while," the commentator Xiao Xiong analyzed.


    Yes, even Jiang Siming himself thought so. Damn, why did this fragment spawn here, so far away? It¡¯s really infuriating. However, since he can get a fragment, he is willing to be laughed at by everyone. It¡¯s just for everyone¡¯s amusement. This is the first time he has picked up a grey fragment, and he doesn¡¯t know what it will produce. Jiang Siming went over and picked it up.


    "Picked up ¡¾Thermal Weapon¡¤Infinite Ammunition Desert Eagle¡¿grey fragment *1 (1/3). Fragment count is insufficient, cannot be used yet."


    What the heck! This grey fragment is actually a gun! Jiang Siming was both shocked and intimidated by the fragment. Guns, which are extremely rare in China, are not as common as they are in America. The control over guns in China is extremely stringent, and growing up in such an environment has made him very unfamiliar with guns.


    Although Jiang Siming has played with shotguns in his hometown and even shot targets during military training at university, these are two completely different concepts. If he were to be found with a gun, he would surely be summoned for questioning. But thinking about it, as long as he doesn¡¯t take it out and start shooting, no one will find out. Besides, this thing is a Desert Eagle, the king of handguns. The scariest part is the infinite ammunition; this level of weaponry is absolutely unattainable on Earth.


    "I¡¯ll just use this thing for self-defense." Even with infinite ammunition, Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t particularly interested. Who knows what you need this thing for in such a peaceful era.


    The fragments are random, and he can¡¯t control them. From this Desert Eagle, he learned about a new type of fragment, which isn¡¯t bad. He can only pray that nothing like this appears again; it¡¯s really disappointing. After picking up the pieces, what Jiang Siming faced was quite amusing¡ªhow to get down?


    Qianyi was also a bit puzzled, pondering, "It shouldn¡¯t be."


    The match video replayed the moment Jiang Siming landed, and everyone then realized that Jiang Siming didn¡¯t land on the ground but on Wei Shen¡¯s head. It turns out it could be done like this! The audience and commentators all had an epiphany, learning another trick from Jiang Siming. In the future, there¡¯s no need to fear landing from high places; as long as a teammate catches you, you¡¯ll be fine.


    "The inventor of PUBG is awesome!"


    "This move is so much fun, I want to try it too!"


    "I think it¡¯s because Wei Shen is too fat, with too much fat to bear the weight of Ming God (evil smile)"


    "Wei Shen: Oh my poor old back, I¡¯ve become a life cushion."...


    Wei Shen himself had just learned this trick.


    "Old Jiang, how did you come up with such a method?" Wei Shen couldn¡¯t help but laugh and tease.


    "I just thought of it, never thought it would work." Jiang Siming was in high spirits after the successful landing.


    See how you all were eagerly waiting for me to die; aren¡¯t you disappointed not to see it?

    "Considering you came to save me, I¡¯ll share this mansion with you, go ahead and search." Jiang Siming said generously.


    After hearing this, Wei Shen beamed and ran into the mansion, even ignoring the worried and scared Ming Zhu and Aruka in some corner. Jiang Siming also ran into the mansion, but with the [Small Area Equipment Perception] ability, he knew where the equipment was as soon as he entered.

 Chapter 253: The Ungrateful Weibo team

    Next to Wei Shen¡¯s house, a piece of Tier 3 armor was placed, Jiang Siming casually passed by and took the opportunity to loot and ran off. Upstairs, there was a 98K, and Jiang Siming also let the chance to loot and take it. Every good item, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t miss and collected everything.


    After searching the entire mansion, Wei Shen discovered, what the hell, Jiang Siming had all the great gear, and he only looted some broken stuff himself! With a face of confusion, Wei Shen cursed and drove off, but before that he still expressed his gratitude to Jiang Siming. Discover stories with


    "It¡¯s still the same Old Jiang atmosphere, the mansion allowed me to search randomly, it seems my luck has really been this bad, sigh, I¡¯m leaving." Pretending to drink water, Jiang Siming actually laughed rather mischievously.


    This mansion is still quite affluent, Jiang Siming assembled a full set of legendary gear, with the 98K plus a complete M416, Level 2 helmet, and a Tier 3 armor. The only pity was the 98K having just one 3x scope. But Jiang Siming was already quite happy, replacing his usual unlucky attributes, looting an M416 caused him to burn incense. It turns out even the Non-Europian is quite good, easy to satisfy, unlike those lucky Europeans, who can¡¯t find a complete set of gear and feel weak all over. Though


    Jiang Siming used to play as a lucky European, always managing to loot good gear, but if he couldn¡¯t complete the set or obtain a higher scope, he wouldn¡¯t stop complaining. Even when sometimes only a stock part is missing from his SKS, he would try his hardest to search every place, only after finding it would he engage battle, not finding it would make him very upset. This is a common problem among many of those lucky Europeans.


    Later on, Jiang Siming was struck by lightning, turning completely unlucky, looting what gear was indifferent. Wei Shen left, and Jiang Siming also came out of the luxury house. After coming out, he ran to the top of the mountain and looked at St. Martin City and the distant power tower, delightedly finding people on both sides. However, through a triple lens, it was too difficult to shoot the people at the distant power tower, so he could only target the St. Martin members below his feet.


    In St. Martin City, the tallest advertising building currently had two people standing on it, dividing things between themselves. They were discarding equipment the other needed, such as bullets, medical kits, drinks, scopes, and so on. Jiang Siming, with his sharp eyes, saw someone drop an 8x scope.


    "This is exactly what I need." The two team members on the advertising building were still obviously throwing equipment back and forth, and even another member joined the ¡¯loot division¡¯ group. They had no idea that a cold sniper rifle on a hill behind them had already aimed at them.@@@@


    Bang! A tiny bullet shot from the top of the hill, but the force it unleashed was enough to knock down one of the people on the rooftop right away!


    "What the heck! Smoke, smoke!" The other two team members immediately sprang into action, with one even choosing to stand in front of the fallen teammate, trying to shield him from the bullets. This was a common flaw among professional players; they couldn¡¯t let a teammate die easily, and if they could save them, they would. But this also gave Jiang Siming the perfect opportunity to continue his sniper attack.


    Bang! Another bullet, hitting the head of the team member trying to shield. It was at this moment that this team realized who was shooting at them¡ªit was Jiang Siming! The Sina team had really run into bad luck this time, encountering Jiang Siming first. And they immediately lost two team members.


    Meanwhile, three members of the Weibo team were downed, leaving only one teammate on their way to the battlefield. Jiang Siming had no intention of rushing down to engage; descending from the mountain would take him a significant amount of time, during which the opposing team would have already revived their fallen comrades.


    By holding his position at the billboard building, he effectively blocked the three from descending without taking bullets from him. Similarly, their last surviving teammate would also have to brave his line of fire if attempting a rescue.


    The remaining player, however, had a bag full of smoke grenades. Upon arriving at the rooftop, they decisively deployed three smokes, turning the billboard into a misty wonderland.


    Jiang Siming responded with a subtle, intriguing smile. Shooting through smoke? For him... that was no problem at all, my friend.


    The last player, confident and relying on the cover of the smoke, made a bold dash. But at the exact moment they moved, gunfire erupted from the mountain. ?¦¡?¦­§à¦¢E?S?


    Bang!


    To the spectators, it was yet another instance of Jiang Siming¡¯s "supernatural aim," extinguishing the last sliver of hope for the Weibo team.


    The organizers even switched the camera feed to Jiang Siming¡¯s computer to confirm he wasn¡¯t using cheats. As expected, there was nothing unusual.


    Extraordinary feats always seemed to happen around Jiang Siming. While people found it hard to believe, they couldn¡¯t deny that he was the "God" of PlayerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds.


    For a god to perform divine-level maneuvers occasionally¡ªwell, that wasn¡¯t a contradiction at all.

 Chapter 254: Going Solo and Can’t Find Anyone

    This time, it could only be blamed on Weibo¡¯s team being too careless, choosing to distribute items on the rooftop. If they had done it indoors, they wouldn¡¯t have faced such a critical situation. This kind of rookie mistake is understandable for a new team.


    If it were teams like 17 or OMG, Jiang Siming wouldn¡¯t have had the chance. Those teams always choose the safest locations for loot distribution.


    After effortlessly eliminating a squad, Jiang Siming looked at the golden and white lights glowing on the rooftop, as if he had spotted a treasure. He¡¯d much prefer replacing the gray fragments from earlier with either of these; they¡¯d definitely be more useful than a pistol.


    White fragments, in particular, were becoming rare. Jiang Siming thought there wouldn¡¯t be any left, considering how many he¡¯d already collected in *PUBG*. He¡¯d learned nearly every skill that the game offered with those white fragments. He assumed they¡¯d stop appearing, but to his surprise, another one just dropped.


    He hurried to check what it was.


    Currently, he was short three fragments for [Advanced Swimming] and one fragment for 20% shares in Huayi Brothers.


    On his way down the mountain, Jiang Siming glanced at his bounty rewards.


    "Kill count +1, random bounty reward: 1 fragment."


    Seeing this, Jiang Siming felt like hitting something. "Whatever, I made billions yesterday, no need to argue with it."


    Reaching the rooftop, Jiang Siming immediately picked up the fragments. As for items like an 8x scope, he left them aside.


    "Picked up [Lamborghini: Slam Dunk Limited Edition Coupe] Gold Fragment *1 (1/2), insufficient fragments to assemble."


    A Lamborghini from a *Slam Dunk* series? Jiang Siming thought this was incredible.


    Did Lamborghini really release *Slam Dunk*-themed cars? He hadn¡¯t heard of it, but the concept alone made him excited. *Slam Dunk* was one of his favorite animes during his school years.


    Once he collected the necessary fragments, he couldn¡¯t wait to see what the car looked like.


    "Picked up [Bandit¡¯s Instinct] White Fragment *1 (1/3), insufficient fragments to assemble."


    **[Bandit¡¯s Instinct]: Within a 2000-meter radius, you can sense the location of any player who finds high-level items.


    High-level items include: Level 3 Helmet, Level 3 Armor, Airdrop Weapons, 8x Scope, and 15x Scope.**


    Wow! What a skill! Jiang Siming laughed heartily. This skill was amazing! The name and function matched perfectly¡ª*Bandit¡¯s Instinct*.


    Within a 2000-meter range, he could pinpoint anyone carrying good loot. It was a pity that it required three fragments, which were quite rare in his current pool.


    After securing the two fragments, Jiang Siming finally turned to loot the crates, equipping the 8x scope on his Kar98k.


    His Kar98k still didn¡¯t have a skin¡ªhe was waiting for his own MVP skin. Aside from his own or his team¡¯s skins, he wasn¡¯t interested in others.


    His MVP skin was almost ready. Just a few days ago, Bluehole had emailed him, saying that by the end of the month, his custom skin would be available for sale. It would even come with exclusive animations.


    But where there¡¯s a will, there¡¯s a way. Jiang Siming immediately changed tactics and decided to regroup with his team.


    Teaming up with Wei Shen and the others, they set out together.


    Returning to the Water Treatment Plant, gunfire erupted as expected.


    "I can¡¯t believe it. When I charge solo, you don¡¯t shoot, but when four of us come, you¡¯re all firing at once," Jiang Siming muttered with a helpless expression.


    Read new chapters at


    "Is this how you play the game? Clearly, you don¡¯t want me to take all the kills."


    "Fine, if you want a 4v4, I¡¯ll grant your wish."


    Jiang Siming boldly stopped his car in the middle of the road, parking just ten meters away from 17 Squad¡¯s Houzi.


    As soon as he stopped, Houzi began spraying with his AK, but Jiang Siming quickly switched seats and exited from the other side.


    With the 3x M416 in hand, he unleashed a storm, instantly tearing Houzi apart!


    "**! It¡¯s Ming God! He¡¯s changed his tactics!" Houzi exclaimed in shock.


    Hearing this, 17shou gave a bitter smile and said, "Then we have no choice. Focus fire on Ming God first; his position is the weakest. Take him down!"


    At 17shou¡¯s command, three guns immediately aimed at Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming began using [Extreme Movement] to frantically dodge bullets, even managing to pull out his 98k and knock down Da Jing with one shot.


    17shou and Ma Niu Niu became even more aggressive, unleashing bursts of gunfire at Jiang Siming.


    Despite Jiang Siming¡¯s best efforts to dodge, he took a momentary pause to finish Da Jing, during which he was hit by their focused fire.


    After taking four bullets, his Level 3 armor was completely destroyed.


    Just two more shots would have finished him.


    However, the rest of 4AM had already flanked in a triangular formation, pinning down 17shou and Ma Niu Niu.


    They swiftly eliminated the two who were still firing at Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming, though, took one last bullet from 17shou and was knocked down.

 Chapter 255: Feeling the Competition is So Easy

    17shou felt as if he had finally released a long-held grudge, with a sense of having removed a menace for the people. Although he didn¡¯t get the kill assist, being able to bring Jiang Siming down was already a remarkable achievement. Looking at all of Jiang Siming¡¯s matches, his number of deaths was extremely low.


    Apart from dying two or three times during the FGS finals, in the PCPL group stage after returning to China, he only died once, and that was from self-inflicted damage. This is why when Da Jing died, they knew that Wei Shen and the others were already set up nearby, but they still wanted to kill Jiang Siming. With Jiang Siming as this towering obstacle, all professional players had the desire to knock him down.


    But no opponent has ever killed Ming God in a straightforward one-on-one confrontation, never! As Jiang Siming fell to the ground, Wei Shen immediately threw a smoke grenade, Shuming came over to help him up, and Aruke provided cover fire. No one chose to loot the fallen, this was the discipline and tactical execution of professional players. The four cooperated smoothly, and Jiang Siming was helped to his feet, administering a syringe to himself. After this injection, his health was immediately full, the med kit was just so convenient.


    He was just a bit heartbroken about his sports car, which was riddled with bullet holes and its engine smoking. To spare it further suffering, Jiang Siming raised his gun and fired a few more rounds to completely destroy it, true to his word. After completing this ¡¯righteous¡¯ act, Jiang Siming first ran to Da Jing¡¯s backpack, where a red shard was glowing.


    "Picked up [Advanced Basketball] Red Shard *1 (1/5), shard count incomplete, unable to use for now."


    The advanced swimming set was not yet complete, and now there was an advanced basketball. Jiang Siming sighed; the road to collecting shards was truly getting longer. Da Jing, having been killed by a headshot from Jiang Siming, still had his Level 3 armor intact.


    "Dajing, go with peace, I will keep your Tier 3 armor well," Jiang Siming said with a mischievous look.


    Wei Shen also added a sneer, "Yeah, you two were still dining together a few days ago, but today you¡¯re pointing guns at each other. Shou Shou, your bag really smells good."


    After adjusting, the four continued on their journey. Climbing into a new sports car, Jiang Siming continued to follow the team. As for the old sports car he was just mourning, it was already part of his past. Out with the old, in with the new. The four set off again. Although they might be stolen kills, at least they encounter people easily, somewhat making up for the stolen kills. Just as he said that, another team started harassing 4AM.


    After being educated by Jiang Siming in a previous random match, this time he became the background in Jiang Siming¡¯s vehicle destruction showcase. The RNG coach, watching the match in the back, shook his head in dissatisfaction. This kid still needs more training; he¡¯s too impulsive.


    Once XDD went down, Jiang Siming temporarily ignored him and immediately got back into the car to chase the other RNG members. The other three members originally intended to go support XDD, but they encountered Jiang Siming on the way. R?¦¡?¦¯?E?s?


    The key was that the three of them dared not engage Jiang Siming in a gunfight and only thought of turning back and running. This gave Jiang Siming the perfect opportunity to turn them into shooting targets. As the bullets poured out, another one of them fell from the car!


    The remaining two teammates were scared like headless chickens and drove the car into the sand dunes, accidentally flipping it over. Jiang Siming completed the harvest one by one with ease, and this time, even God Wei and company didn¡¯t get a chance to join in. By the time they arrived, Jiang Siming had just taken down the last person. Two fragments dropped out, and Jiang Siming raised his eyebrows, running over with a smile to pick them up.


    "Picked up [Advanced Swimming] red fragment *1 (3/5), fragment quantity not enough, temporarily unable to use."


    "Picked up [Robber¡¯s Intuition] white fragment *1 (2/3), fragment quantity not enough, temporarily unable to use."Wei Shen and Xiao Shuming, who had rushed over, slapped their thighs in regret. They hadn¡¯t kept up with Jiang Siming¡¯s pace and missed out on the kills. What a pity, they would have to follow closer next time...


    Without even bothering to search the bodies, the four of them continued on their way. 4AM had already scored 12 points, and they were only on the third circle, far ahead of the other teams. "With Brother Jiang here, the match feels so simple, and scoring is so easy," Aruka said, repeating words that Duo Yu and Shuming had often said before. It really was that simple. In the past, without Jiang Siming, whenever their team encountered another team, everyone had to perform at their best. Any mistake would put their team at a significant disadvantage.


    Now, when they faced a full team, Jiang Siming could at least hold off two or more enemies, and the other three only needed to deal with one or two. They actually had an absolute numerical advantage, and their skills were already quite strong to begin with. With Jiang Siming as the stimulant, they played very aggressively and dared to fight. Confidence and skill combined, and often, God Wei and the others could perform at 150% of their usual level, making the game much easier.

 Chapter 256: The Largest Shareholder of Huayi!

    Time ticked by, and the fifth circle arrived. 4am moved from their original position towards the power plant. Before they even reached the power plant, the four of them could hear intense gunfire ahead. A few messages also popped up in the upper right corner.


    "Player [SJ_gu] used a 98k sniper rifle to knock down player [LGD_xin8]"@@@@


    Find more to read on


    "Player [SJ_DDY] used an AK assault rifle to knock down player [LGD_TJW]"


    When 4am saw these two messages, they all let out a howl. It was truly a narrow escape, and the sight of their enemies made their blood boil. Although Jiang Siming had thoroughly beaten SJ in the previous round, leaving them with no points, the resentment between the two teams had not diminished at all. Encountering such a rare opportunity was really uncommon.


    "Steal from them, steal from them! Leave this bastard to me, don¡¯t touch him. You, Lao Jiang, killed him last time, it¡¯s my turn now, right?" Wei Shen said excitedly.


    Jiang Siming had no intention of giving up the kill, saying, "Who knows who he is, let¡¯s just fight and see. It¡¯s down to luck."


    "Damn it, fine then, get out of the car, get out of the car, let¡¯s sneak up on them."


    Afraid that SJ might become alert, the four of them got out of the car early and climbed up from the foot of the mountain. The four members of SJ, who were currently engaged in a fierce battle with the LGD team, were playing with great enthusiasm. They had already taken down two members of LGD, and although they hadn¡¯t finished them off yet, victory was within their reach.


    "This round is really hard to encounter anyone; this is the first opponent we¡¯ve come across. We need to score quickly; our ranking is very low," the captain of SJ said seriously.


    "Let¡¯s finish this quickly. I¡¯ll cover you with my rifle; you guys push forward," Gu Cun said, lifting his 98k and imagining the two LGD members were Jiang Siming. Fueled by his burning rage, his skills had become even stronger.


    With Gu Cun framing with the sniper rifle, all the members of SJ were very reassured and charged towards the LGD¡¯s cover. As long as the opponents dared to show their heads, Gu Cun¡¯s sniper rifle would definitely take them down first. Although Gu Cun¡¯s sniping skills were not as godlike as Jiang Siming¡¯s, it was really hard to find a better sniper than him domestically.


    Therefore, SJ charged in confidently. Gu Cun watched the movements through his scope, ready to support his teammates and take down more enemies. He had seen the screen flooded by 4am just now; Jiang Siming had taken down many opponents, which made Gu Cun anxious, he really wanted to surpass Jiang Siming.


    Rustling...


    Gu Cun suddenly felt the sound of slight footsteps behind his ear.


    "Not good! Someone is flanking us!" Gu Cun was shocked and immediately stopped framing, switching to an assault rifle.


    "Don¡¯t worry about the details. There are still two LGD members left. Go all out, I¡¯ll cover you, I¡¯ll give you those two kills," Jiang Siming said generously.


    Wei Shen and the others, believing him, really charged into the LGD camp.


    But when the LGD members came out to fight, one of them was still taken down by Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s explanation was quite reasonable: "I was afraid you would be taken down by them. Someone might attack us too, so better finish them quickly."


    "Bro Jiang, if you¡¯re any more sincere, I¡¯ll really believe you!" Wei Shen laughed and scolded. Just a few kills, they don¡¯t actually value them that much.


    They just had a habit of teasing Jiang Siming and were a bit envious of how often he got kills. They¡¯re not like Jiang Siming, who gets fragments. This ambush was highly profitable, leaving everyone from the two teams in 4am¡¯s pocket. Jiang Siming killed five and dropped two more fragments, both golden.


    "Picked up [20% Hua Yi Shares] Golden Fragment *1 (3/3), fragment count is full, can be used directly."


    "Picked up [Lamborghini ¡¤ Sakura Kuchiki Limited Edition] Golden Fragment *1 (2/2), fragment count is full, can be used directly."


    Both golden fragments are now complete! Jiang Siming was very happy, especially with the Hua Yi shares, which meant he had jumped to become the largest shareholder of Hua Yi, holding 30% equity. More than what the brothers Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun have combined.


    "Can I start ¡¯ordering dishes¡¯ and secretly date domestic female stars..." Jiang Siming thought wickedly.


    However, he didn¡¯t know which female stars were in Hua Yi, so he thought, "emmm... I¡¯ll check it out when I have time."


    After all, they were all his employees, so it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to get to know them better... What Jiang Siming didn¡¯t know was that at that moment, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei of Hua Yi were already in a terrible state, worrying deeply.


    "How did this happen? Why did he manage to take so much of our shares?" Wang Zhonglei slammed his desk, furious.


    "I don¡¯t know, many of our small shareholders inexplicably sold their stocks, which were all acquired by this Jiang Siming. His equity has now surpassed ours." Wang Zhongjun was also in distress.


    The situation was bizarre, but there was nothing they could say; everything was legally competitive. When shareholders no longer want their equity and secretly sell it, leading to someone else acquiring it, it¡¯s perfectly reasonable. The only thing to say is that Jiang Siming¡¯s methods were too decisive and swift, the shares were just thrown out and he snatched them all up!

 Chapter 257: This Is Truly Divine

    The golden fragments that Jiang Siming obtained will provide the most reasonable source details for any industry they come from. Not to mention Huayi Corporation, even if Jiang Siming suddenly got shares of China National Petroleum Corporation or Sinopec, the fragments would arrange them in a clear and organized manner.


    Just like when this thing appeared, it would force the world to change its rules regarding the origin and development of the item, making Jiang Siming¡¯s industries acquired through the fragments as clean as a sheet of paper, making any investigation futile. Brothers Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun had no idea about such a magical thing.


    "What should we do now?" Wang Zhongjun asked anxiously.


    "What else can we do now, we can only let him take control of the company. Fortunately, I have looked into this person, and he doesn¡¯t seem like someone who wants to deliberately ruin our company; his sideline is a video game streamer." Wang Zhonglei said with a worried look, holding a cigarette.


    "A video game streamer? Can a video game streamer have enough money to buy our Huayi?" Wang Zhongjun doubted.


    Wang Zhonglei said irritably, "I already told you it¡¯s his sideline. Besides, didn¡¯t you watch last night¡¯s news? This guy received over a billion yuan in gifts in one day. Does that sound like someone who¡¯s short of money? And he¡¯s very close to the Wang family and Miss Li from the Li family; he¡¯s definitely not an ordinary person."


    "Miss Li? Do you mean... the Li family from Hong Kong?"


    "Who else?"


    "He isn¡¯t playing the fool; it¡¯s just that his personal interest is in gaming. Anyway, let the company operate as usual. I¡¯ll find some time to meet him." Wang Zhonglei exhaled a smoke ring.


    "I¡¯m going to grab a package." Even though Jiang Siming was being marked by long distance shots, he still went ahead with determination to grab the package.


    "Pick up ¡¾Photography Proficiency¡¿Red Fragment * 1 (1/3), the fragment amount is incomplete, temporarily unable to use."


    Thus, an ability that required collecting fragments came into play. It seemed this red skill was what Jiang Siming fervently wished for. Jiang Siming got seated in the car, the ¡¾Danger Perception¡¿skill instantly activated! Without time to think, Jiang Siming subconsciously switched seats! Bang! The driver¡¯s seat was penetrated by an AWM bullet! Jiang Siming narrowly dodged this nearly fatal bullet. If he hadn¡¯t obtained the green talent of reaction speed, this bullet would have been impossible to avoid. Because the opposing direction only lasted less than 0.5 seconds.


    So when the ¡¾Danger Perception¡¿activated, the opponent had already pulled the trigger. It was Jiang Siming¡¯s quick reaction and switch of seats that he narrowly avoided this life-threatening bullet.


    "Sure, that¡¯s some good shooting." Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t help but praise, the aiming speed and decisiveness in firing made him look at the other person with renewed respect.


    However, he didn¡¯t know who this person was; he just felt that the other person was quite skilled. The OMG team, located in a housing area about 400 meters away, was even more shocked than Jiang Siming.


    "How did this person dodge my bullet?" The shooter was none other than Xiao Rong, the old captain of OMG, who led the team to win the PCI World Championship last year.


    Many people thought that OMG¡¯s world champion Xiao Shizi was the best MVP, but in reality, many viewers believed Xiao Rong was the best candidate. Xiao Rong served as the team¡¯s commander and also took on the role of calling out positions, so his shooting skills and personal strength were often overlooked. In fact, Xiao Rong¡¯s personal strength was even more terrifying than Xiao Shizi¡¯s, but his commanding ability was also outstanding, which is why the coach placed him in the captain¡¯s position. r??a????o??B¦¥s?


    With Xiao Rong¡¯s return this year, OMG was immediately rejuvenated, and their performance soared; they are currently second in the group stage. After this round, OMG is sure to surpass Team 17, as Team 17 had an easy game against 4AM, and their score will inevitably be overtaken. In this round, OMG continued to perform steadily, already scoring 10 points, the second-highest score among all teams, excluding 4AM. Xiao Rong had just seen Jiang Siming sweep the car, so he knew that the person driving was him. To Jiang Siming, he was still somewhat unfamiliar, as they had never faced each other in battle.

 Chapter 258: Two Teams in Competition!

    This time, Xiao Rong and Jiang Siming crossed paths while Jiang siming tried to ambush from the blind side. Unfortunately, Jiang siming dodged this attack, and at that moment, he seemed to sense someone aiming at him and instinctively took cover. Even if the opponent could spot him the moment he got back into the car, he already had his weapon readied, thus making the best move in such a situation. Xiao Rong was amazed at Jiang Siming¡¯s reaction speed and subtle movements.


    "Rong, this guy is really strong. I¡¯ve confronted him a few times, and each time I ended up in a miserable defeat." Xiao Shizi was concerned that Xiao Rong might lose control. However, Xiao Rong stayed calm. The shot missed, and Xiao Rong, though reluctant, gave up on the plan to continue the ambush.


    "Next zone, they are not the safe zone anymore. We will set up a position from here; Shizi and Xiaohai will go from the southeast direction to enter the zone, using the motorcycles as they are the fastest. After you enter the zone, block the slope here, this is very important. Old Wang, must go to the 115 direction to scout, I will mark the position for you, and we will divide to act." Xiao Rong became more serious and predicted that this could be a face-to-face battle between their teams, OMG might fight with 4AM.


    He wanted to challenge this New World Champion team, and more importantly, he desired to confront Jiang siming head-on to find out how strong this man was, who was praised so much. After Jiang siming evaded the AWm shot, he got out of the car to return fire, but found the opponent had no intention of showing himself. Jiang siming had no choice but to give up and drive the car back. By this time, the zone was brushing to the seventh wave, and eight 9 players remaining on the field, 4AM and complete squads, and the last single member of EDG was shaking in a corner somewhere.


    OMG¡¯s geographical position is much better than 4AM¡¯s, with four players spread out at different points, forming a large net that securely encircles the four members of 4AM. Xiao Xiao, positioned on the slope, was making a great effort to find Jiang Siming¡¯s location; he had seen earlier that Jiang Siming carried a 98K. In professional matches, the 98K is rarely used unless by the team¡¯s core sniper. Therefore, Xiao Xiao quickly confirmed Jiang Siming¡¯s position.


    "Jiang Siming is on the right; you all have to be very careful on the right side, don¡¯t expose your positions. Let¡¯s deal with the other three first before we take him down," Xiao Rong instructed.


    "No problem, Captain, I think I see that lone wolf, at the 60 direction!" Xiao Haibao pointed out while aiming his gun, hoping to score another solo kill. But as soon as he opened his scope, a 98K shot from the opposite side instantly killed him with a headshot.


    This lone wolf had been identified by Jiang Siming earlier, but he found that it posed no threat to his team, so he most likely left it as bait. "I told you to pay attention to the right, don¡¯t be too greedy for kills. Xiao shizi, set up your gun; Wang Yan, support the team!" Xiao Rong calmly commanded, worrying that Jiang Siming and his team might rush over with a smoke grenade.


    Fortunately, 4AM didn¡¯t make a move, and Jiang Siming turned around and shot the lone wolf from EDG in one shot. Now, only two teams remained on the field, both fully manned. One was the current world¡¯s strongest team, the reigning world champions of this year, 4AM. The other, however, was last year¡¯s world champion, OMG, which had now recovered to its full strength, representing its peak condition.


    The upcoming clash between these two champion teams had the audience holding their breath in anticipation. Many OMG fans believed that with Xiao Rong¡¯s addition, OMG could defeat 4AM. Xiao Hai was pulled up, quickly self-administered a syringe of a medical kit, and picked up a new Level 2 helmet from the box right next to him. So, this shot from Jiang Siming did not give his team any advantage, and the two teams were back to the starting line. And 4AM was still very passive, because the next most critical circle was at OMG¡¯s location. If they wanted to win, they had to initiate the fight. But OMG defended like an iron bucket, impenetrable, leaving nobody a clue for a moment.


    Xiao Rong was enraged by this blatant provocation. He thought for a moment, realizing he still had his Level 3 helmet and full health, which could definitely withstand another shot. He was actually not convinced by the last shot, and the pride of a master made Xiao Rong stand up again, wanting to have another round with Jiang Siming. But as soon as he showed his head, Jiang Siming fired, without the need to aim.


    The last 98k bullet in the barrel penetrated Xiao Rong¡¯s Level 3 helmet, tearing it to shreds. Xiao Rong¡¯s health also plummeted to zero, and he no longer dared to face off with Jiang Siming in a sniper duel. This person¡¯s sniping was several times more terrifying than G God!


    "Fortunately, this Level 3 helmet saved me twice." Xiao Rong, while using a first-aid item, felt extremely lucky.


    Bang bang bang...


    As Xiao Rong was using the first-aid item, Xiao Shizi and Wang Yan suddenly both fell! Within less than a second, the two were lying on the slope waiting for rescue.


    "Captain, Ming God is advancing, why didn¡¯t you hold him off?" Xiao Shizi asked, puzzled.


    The captain had said he would hold Jiang Siming, so why did the other side charge over without any reaction from Xiao Rong?


    A trace of awkwardness flashed across Xiao Rong¡¯s face, but he confessed his mistake very openly: "It¡¯s my fault, I shouldn¡¯t have engaged him in a sniper duel; I was just healing." RA?No??E?s?


    While speaking, Xiao Rong had already run over to Xiao Lion¡¯s side. He had completely lost the chance to hold Jiang Siming, and now he wanted to hurry and revive his teammates. But he hadn¡¯t even helped for a few seconds when the sound of ¡¯massive invasion¡¯ footsteps came from the slope. It¡¯s the second watch of the night!

 Chapter 259: Not Much Advantage

    Xiao Rong¡¯s expression changed drastically as he realized the opponent had chosen to go all-in! He had no choice but to abandon his teammates, opting not to engage in a shootout and instead turning to run downhill. Just as he ran down the slope, the last teammate, Xiao Hai, was also taken down. Xiao Rong crouched behind a rock at the bottom of the slope, and the situation became extremely perilous. What was once a four-versus-three fight had now turned into a one-versus-three. Moreover, the opponent had already pinpointed his position and was advancing with overwhelming force. Xiao Rong¡¯s face showed bitterness, but he still chose to make one last stand. He pulled a grenade from his waist, removed the safety pin, and waited quietly. However, as soon as Jiang Siming heard the sound of the pin being pulled, he immediately switched to the frying pan at his waist. From behind the rock, a grenade was thrown out. Instead of running away, Jiang Siming charged toward the grenade. He then leapt into the air and swung the frying pan at the grenade. Clang! The frying pan struck the grenade, sending it flying back to its original path. The returning grenade exploded right above Xiao Rong¡¯s head, wiping out OMG completely! 4AM secured back-to-back victories!


    Many OMG fans couldn¡¯t believe it ¡ª the match had ended so quickly. This was the fully intact OMG team! Previously, OMG had always lost to 4AM, but fans had used the excuse that Xiaorong had not rejoined the team, so it didn¡¯t count as a proper loss. But now, they had no excuses left. Last year¡¯s world champions had been utterly crushed by the new world champions! There was hardly any intense back-and-forth in the match. In the end, Xiaorong was still taken down by Jiang Siming with an acrobatic move. This feeling forced OMG fans to confront reality ¡ª the old world champion was truly inferior to the new world champion. But they accepted the defeat willingly, without making any excuses. In esports, being "bad" is the original sin, and strength is king. Victory is victory ¡ª there¡¯s no need for so many excuses.


    All four OMG members were killed by Jiang Siming. Not only did he collect two fragment pieces, but the final chicken dinner also granted him a blue fragment.


    "Collected [Advanced Swimming] red fragment x1 (4/5), the fragment count is not full, so it cannot be used yet."


    "Collected [Bandit¡¯s Intuition] white fragment x1 (3/3), the fragment count is full and can be used immediately."


    "Collected [Body Strengthening Pill x1 box] blue fragment x1 (1/1), the fragment count is full and can be used immediately."


    **[Body Strengthening Pill]:** Slightly enhances the body¡¯s overall physical constitution, with an improvement equivalent to the average result of a year of training for an ordinary person.


    After the match ended, the points for all the teams were tallied.


    **NO.1, [4AM] Points: 115**


    **NO.2, [OMG] Points: 65**


    **NO.3, [17] Points: 46**


    After just three matches, 4AM¡¯s points had already left the competition far behind, nearly doubling the score of the second-place team, OMG.


    After the match, there was an interview segment. For the first two matches, Jiang Siming had let Weishen and Xingsu do the interviews. But for this match, the officials deliberately stirred up some drama by arranging for Qianyi to conduct the interview. Naturally, Qianyi only wanted to interview Jiang Siming, and Jiang Siming had no reason to refuse.


    Qian Yi also laughed twice before continuing, "You faced a full-strength OMG in the final match. How do you rate their strength?"


    This question was a bit tricky. Everyone thought Jiang Siming wouldn¡¯t go too far since OMG also had many fans. "Overall, they¡¯re decent. The fully-formed OMG doesn¡¯t have any weaknesses," Jiang Siming replied.


    Everyone was momentarily stunned. Oh? He¡¯s being modest now? But Jiang Siming¡¯s next sentence left them all speechless.


    "Of course, they don¡¯t have any strengths either." Pfft! The audience burst into laughter. Listen to that ¡ª is that even human speech?


    "Alright, that concludes our interview session. See you at the next match!" Qian Yi, worried that a few more questions might stir up more trouble for Jiang Siming, hurriedly ended the interview early, playing the role of a "protective wife fanatic."


    After all, it¡¯s just an interview. If she wanted to talk to God Ming, she could always do so backstage. There was no need to do it in front of everyone, especially when she wouldn¡¯t be able to say anything nice. After the match, 4AM and 17 dined together again, and Jiang Siming also invited Qian Yi to join them. Explore more stories with


    Everyone enjoyed a pleasant dinner before parting ways. Jiang Siming initially planned to send Qian Yi home. However, the old man who had appeared in the arena earlier suddenly appeared in front of him and Qian Yi.


    Upon seeing the old man, Qian Yi blushed with embarrassment and said to Jiang Siming, "My family is here to pick me up, so I have to go."


    Jiang Siming nodded, having already guessed that the old man was someone from Qian Yi¡¯s side, and it turned out he was right.


    "Alright, stay safe on the way home. Send me a message when you arrive to let me know you¡¯re safe," Jiang Siming said, harboring no ulterior motives.


    Qian Yi nodded, a hint of reluctance in her eyes as she followed the white-haired old man. Before leaving, the white-haired old man glanced at Jiang Siming several times. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes as he realized he couldn¡¯t see through this young man. In the end, he left with no further discoveries and followed Qian Yi away.


    Watching the old man¡¯s back, Jiang Siming revealed a subtle, barely noticeable smile. He had fully sensed the old man¡¯s intentions just now, but their difference in realm was too vast, so the old man could only walk away empty-handed. It seems there are still hidden experts in this world. But he couldn¡¯t help but wonder ¡ª with his current strength, where would he rank among these so-called "experts"... China has always been a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It¡¯s no surprise that there are masters in the shadows.

 Chapter 260: Wang Zhongwei’s Invitation

    In this match, although Jiang Siming¡¯s harvest was not as much as the 33 kills in the previous match, he still obtained quite a few good fragments. He was only one fragment short of [Advanced Swimming], four fragments short of [Advanced Basketball], and two fragments short of [Photography Proficiency].


    Shares of Huayi and Lamborghini were both completed, and even the white fragments for [Bandit Intuition] were successfully collected. In the next match, even without using the [Game Program Modifier], Jiang Siming could fly solo to find people. He originally wanted to summon the new Lambo R defended by Hanamichi Sakuragi, but since he drove to the venue, he didn¡¯t want to leave his beloved car outside, so Jiang Siming had to drive the old car home first.


    When he arrived at the garage, Jiang Siming summoned the Lamborghini. The streamlined body and ultra-low chassis, with a large number 10 basketball jersey engraved on the hood, and the English letters [SHOHOKU] on it. These letters, only old fans of "Slam Dunk" would know, meant Shohoku High School! The entire car was in the red motif of Hanamichi Sakuragi, completely different from the red of the BMW X6 he gave to Jiang Lan. This was a basketball red, not girly at all, but rather manly. Opening the butterfly doors, Jiang Siming sat inside. The interior was decorated in a low-key luxury style, and there was a row of "Slam Dunk" character figurines on the dashboard.


    Figurines of Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi Hanako, and others, each of which looked to be quite expensive. Jiang Siming searched for the model of this car on his phone; it was a limited edition produced by Lamborghini in 2018 after purchasing the copyright from the creator of "Slam Dunk." Although not extremely expensive, it cost more than 7 million, and it was an out-of-production model.


    Currently, the value of this car had long surpassed the market price, doubling it, and there were still many buyers. Jiang Siming was also very satisfied with the car, and even went out for a drive to indulge himself before parking it back in the garage. Jiang Siming found that the family garage was almost out of space; this spacious garage that could accommodate seven cars was nearly filled with Jiang Siming¡¯s cars. Audi RS7, Aston Martin DB11, BaoBoTe G800, a pink Lexus, and a cherry blossom series Lamborghini.


    That¡¯s already five cars, the Lexus was given by Jiang Siming to Xin Yi, and the Audi RS7 to Yin Zhirou, for her to drive to and from work. But if more cars were to come, it would truly be difficult to find space.


    "Sigh, having too many cars can also be a trouble. If there are more cars, they¡¯ll just have to be parked in the garages of nearby malls," Jiang Siming showed a happy yet troubled expression.@@@@


    Because Lin Yun¡¯er was returning to her country the next day, Yin Zhirou decisively chose to sleep in a separate bed, leaving Lin Yun¡¯er to Jiang Siming while she herself went to sleep soundly. That night, Lin Yun¡¯er was also very proactive in her advances, but unfortunately, she was easily ¡¯conquered¡¯ by Jiang Siming. In the morning, he sent off Lin Yun¡¯er, who had teary eyes, to the plane, which was the result of much consolation from Jiang Siming; before that, she was a crying mess.


    With Lin Yun¡¯er gone, Jiang Siming¡¯s mood couldn¡¯t help but sink a bit. It was just him alone at home again, Xin Yi and Zhirou had to go to school from Monday to Friday. On his way back home in the car, Jiang Siming was considering whether to go home or to go for a drive. Since no one was at home, going back to such a large house by himself wasn¡¯t much fun.


    "Master, there¡¯s an unknown call~" Xiao Xian¡¯s voice came through.


    Jiang Siming showed no expression and said, "Answer it through the car¡¯s Bluetooth."


    "Okay, Master~ beep~"


    "Hello." The other party had a deep male voice.


    "An hour? That won¡¯t do. I don¡¯t like being late; I need to speed up." Jiang Siming said, gradually pressing the accelerator.


    The Sakura Haruko series Lamborghini began speeding on the Shanghai highway. The cool car body attracted frequent attention from surrounding drivers and pedestrians, and everyone said the car was so cool! With racing skills, Jiang Siming arrived at the agreed location in less than half an hour. Parking the car, Jiang Siming walked into the restaurant with large, quick steps. R?A?o?bE?S??


    "Hello, sir, are you here for dining or do you have a reservation?"


    Experience exclusive tales on


    "Someone has reserved a table, the surname is Wang," Jiang Siming said.


    "It¡¯s Mr. Wang, right? The reservation is at the RUC room, please follow me." The polite waiter led Jiang Siming up to the second floor.


    Jiang Siming looked around the Western restaurant, everything seemed expensive, and it was no wonder the boss of Huayi was from the upper class, choosing such an upscale place for dining. The waiter came to the private room and considerately pushed the door open for Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming walked in, and Wang Zhonglei, who was resting in the chair, immediately stood up, walked to Jiang Siming with a smile, and extended his hand, saying: "I have long heard of your fame, President Jiang. They say you are young and accomplished, dignified in appearance, and even won a world championship in a game. Now I see that it¡¯s all true."


    Wang Zhonglei showed a fawning attitude right from the start. In fact, he had no choice but to flatter, for if he did not win Jiang Siming over, and if the latter caused trouble in the company, he would really have no way to deal with it. Although Wang Zhonglei felt that since the other party had spent so much money to acquire Huayi¡¯s shares, they were unlikely to cause trouble. However, nothing was certain, and if it were an older businessman, he would be more confident. But Jiang Siming was so young, and such young people often acted out of impulse and a desire to show off, which could lead to some absurd actions.


    Therefore, Wang Zhonglei specially rushed over from Beijing this time, partly to get to know Jiang Siming¡¯s character and personality in advance, and to interact with him.


    "Mr. Wang, you are too kind. My insignificant abilities can¡¯t compare to your rich life experiences. You founded Huayi, making it the top entertainment company in China, while I am just a minor streamer, perhaps not even able to step into your company¡¯s threshold," Jiang Siming spoke in a flawless manner.


    Wang Zhonglei laughed heartily and did not continue the small talk, instead inviting Jiang Siming to take a seat.

 Chapter 261: Most of the Entertainment Industry

    The two sat facing each other, and Wang Zhonglei took the initiative to pour a cup of premium tea for Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming, who has never liked beating around the bush, picked up the teacup and said, "I can roughly guess the purpose of Mr. Wang¡¯s visit this time. Don¡¯t worry; although I am currently the largest shareholder of Huayi, I don¡¯t get involved in management; I only collect money."


    Wang Zhonglei, upon hearing that Jiang Siming only collects money and doesn¡¯t interfere in management, was not only not angry but extremely pleased; what he wanted was exactly for Jiang Siming to stay out of management.


    "With Mr. Jiang¡¯s words, I can have peace of mind to continue working. The company will still operate as usual. If there is anything inappropriate, Mr. Jiang can point it out at any time. With the support of a major shareholder like you, I believe Huayi will definitely reach new heights." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s straightforward personality won his admiration.


    "Although I don¡¯t get involved in management, I still want to understand the company¡¯s situation. Is that convenient?" Jiang Siming asked.@@@@


    "Of course, I¡¯ve prepared it for Mr. Jiang a long time ago. The documents clearly outline the company¡¯s operations, finances, business, all artists under contract, and all subsidiaries, including the studios of the stars." Wang Zhonglei said as he opened the prepared document bag and took out a stack of documents.


    Jiang Siming took them and started to flip through them at a leisurely pace. Wang Zhonglei did not disturb Jiang Siming and softly instructed the kitchen to serve the dishes first. Huayi¡¯s operating funds amounted to over 50 billion yuan, which was just the liquid funds. The business scope was very broad, covering music, film and television, media, cinemas, artist management, and various other sectors. Almost everything related to the entertainment industry had a subsidiary from Huayi, and they were all on a large scale. This was exactly what Jiang Siming had found online, with no significant differences.


    Then, Jiang Siming began to check the artists under the company, with the most being actors, including senior artists like Liu Jialing, Chen Daoming, Yang Ziyi, Wu Junru, Yan Zu, Zhang Guorong, and Guan Zilin. These are all considered veteran actors, and some Hong Kong stars have also dabbled in it.


    Ten years ago, they were all once very popular in the entertainment industry. Among the younger generation, there are even more familiar faces, including some of the most famous current female stars in Huaxia, such as Lai Bababa, Bingbing, Yang Zi, Li Xiaolu, Zhou Xun, and others. Male stars like Sha Yi, Huang Xiaoming, Zhu Yawen, Su Youpeng, Wei Chen, and others. Even "Running Man," one of the most popular variety shows, has Deng Chao, Zheng Kai, Cheng He, Baoqiang, and others, all from Huaxia.


    He chatted and ate with Wang Zhonglei. The conversation between the two was very pleasant. Wang Zhonglei never expected this new chairman, Jiang Siming, to be so easy to get along with, completely hands-off and delegating power. Wang Zhonglei also put his mind at ease, no longer having any worries. After toasting and drinking, they became close like brothers.


    "Elder Brother Jiang, I heard you¡¯re about to participate in a variety show. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already made the arrangements. They will definitely give you the highest treatment, and you¡¯ll have the most screen time."


    Wang Zhonglei added, "Elder Brother Jiang, your conditions are too good. If you really want to enter the entertainment industry, you don¡¯t need to go to other shows. I can make Huayi use the most resources to promote you. In no more than three months, your popularity will definitely be ten times higher than that of someone like JB Kun or ** Fan!"


    Jiang Siming smiled and took a bite of the dish, saying, "I have no interest in being a star. I¡¯m only going to the variety show for fun. The entertainment industry isn¡¯t my passion; I prefer to be with live streaming and gaming."


    "Sticking to your principles and pursuing your hobbies, President Jiang, I admire you and envy you. In fact, my greatest wish when I was young was to be a naval officer, guarding the country under the blue sky and the sea. Unfortunately, I ended up in business, and this dream will never come true in my lifetime."


    Wang Zhonglei was already quite drunk, and the six or seven empty wine bottles on the table showed how much they had drunk. With a flushed face, Wang Zhonglei spoke from the heart.


    Jiang Siming remained very calm. Apart from a slight redness in his face, he was in no trouble at all. Would a Foundation Establishment cultivator be afraid of alcohol? Even another ten cases might not make him drunk.


    After the meal, it was Jiang Siming who supported Wang Zhonglei out. "President Jiang, you really have a great tolerance... really, I¡¯m convinced. From now on, I can¡¯t call you little brother; you¡¯re my big brother." Wang Zhonglei¡¯s legs couldn¡¯t even stand steady, and he was completely drunk.


    Jiang Siming smiled and said, "Big Brother Wang, you should say that after you sober up. I¡¯ll send you back to the hotel first." I should have known not to drink so much with him. Now I have to send this drunk to the hotel to rest. What a mess.

 Chapter 262: Another 700 Million

    After sending Wang Zhonglei back to the hotel, Jiang Siming wanted to drive away. However, he remembered that he had been drinking and realized that driving after drinking could result in a DUI, which would be a serious problem.


    "Don¡¯t drive after drinking, don¡¯t drink while driving."


    "Wait a second," Jiang Siming thought. "When I drink, my internal energy automatically evaporates the alcohol. That shouldn¡¯t count as drunk driving, right?" He decided to test this theory.


    Coincidentally, there was a traffic police officer at the intersection. Jiang Siming walked over and politely said, "Officer, I¡¯d like to check if I have any alcohol in my system. Is that okay?"


    "Sorry, we don¡¯t test pedestrians," the officer replied politely.


    Jiang Siming understood that the officer was just doing his job, so he continued to speak respectfully, "Officer, I just had some betel nut. I want to drive, but I¡¯m not sure if it counts as driving with alcohol in my system. Could I use your equipment to check? If there¡¯s alcohol detected, I¡¯ll call for a driver instead."


    "But we don¡¯t check non-motorized vehicles," the officer responded firmly. "I hope you can understand. If everyone made the same request as you, we wouldn¡¯t be able to do our jobs."


    Jiang Siming sighed and turned to leave.


    "Wait a moment, sir," the officer called out.


    Jiang Siming turned around, and the officer looked at him carefully before asking, "Are you... the singer of ¡¯Luzhou Moon¡¯?"


    "¡¯Luzhou Moon¡¯ was sung by me, but I¡¯m not a celebrity. I¡¯m just a streamer," Jiang Siming replied with a smile.


    Even though the officer hadn¡¯t agreed to his earlier request, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t mind. After all, the officer was just doing his job, and his request had indeed been a bit unreasonable.


    "It really is you! My wife is pregnant, and she¡¯s been listening to your songs a lot lately. Could you..." The officer wanted to ask for a photo with Jiang Siming to give to his wife but hesitated, thinking about how he had just refused Jiang Siming¡¯s request.


    However, Jiang Siming smiled generously and said, "Do you want a signature or a photo? I can do both for you. No need to feel embarrassed."


    "Thank you so much!" the officer said gratefully.


    He pulled out his phone, and the two of them took a photo together.@@@@


    Jiang Siming wished him well and was about to leave when the officer called him back again.


    "Mr. Jiang, you can use it," the officer said.


    "Isn¡¯t that against the rules? You might get criticized for this," Jiang Siming responded.


    "It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s noon right now, and there aren¡¯t many people around. It¡¯ll only take a moment. You can use it, but just this once, so I hope you understand."


    "Thank you so much," Jiang Siming said.


    Many financial professionals began to set their sights on Yinghuan Financial, and for a time, a flood of people sought to join the company.


    Unfortunately, the company¡¯s staffing was already nearing capacity.


    Recently, only the top-tier elites were being recruited, and every time Li Yingzi had to reject a batch of talented individuals, she felt a sense of pity and regret.


    After earning another 750 million yuan, there was no way Jiang Siming wouldn¡¯t express his appreciation.


    Aside from giving the traders and Li Yingzi even more generous bonuses than last time, every other department¡¯s employees also received triple their monthly salary!


    Additionally, they were granted a seven-day vacation and even arranged for a team-building trip to Thailand. Those who wanted to participate could join, with round-trip airfare and accommodation fully covered, and they were even allowed to bring two family members.


    This kind of employee welfare made all the employees of Yinghuan ecstatic. Many of them expressed that they had never worked at such a generous company before. They all vowed to work even harder in the future, lest they be replaced by someone else.


    When the team-building trip to Thailand was announced, 80% of the company¡¯s staff signed up, with Li Yingzi leading the charge.


    "Chairman, aren¡¯t you going with us?" Li Yingzi asked, hoping Jiang Siming would join.


    Jiang Siming smiled and shook his head, saying, "There are still a lot of things to do recently, so I can¡¯t go. I¡¯ll join you all for fun another time when I have some free time."


    "Chairman, come with us~"


    "Yeah, Chairman, if you come with us, I¡¯ll buy a super sexy swimsuit just for you to see~"


    Even the receptionists were eager to travel with Jiang Siming. Who knows? Maybe during the trip, the chairman might notice them and have a romantic one-night adventure.


    Being able to spend time with a perfect man like Jiang Siming ¡ª even if it meant offering their bodies for one night ¡ª they would be more than willing.


    "Your chests are too small. No matter how sexy your swimsuit is, it won¡¯t look good," Jiang Siming joked.


    The group of receptionists blushed furiously, covering their faces and running away, all while calling him a "bad chairman."


    "Alright, my dear class leader, the trip to Thailand is in two days. But for now, come with me to a car dealership," Jiang Siming said to Li Yingzi.


    "A car dealership? Are you going to buy a car for the company?" Li Yingzi instantly guessed his intention.


    "Not having a company car is too embarrassing and inconvenient. Call up my two secretaries. Let¡¯s all go pick out some cars together," Jiang Siming said with a wave of his hand.


    Now that he had money, he wasn¡¯t going to hold back. After all, what¡¯s the point of hoarding wealth if you can¡¯t spend it? It¡¯s not like you can take it with you to the grave.

 Chapter 263: Company Car

    Jiang Siming brought Li Yingzi, his two beautiful twin secretary assistants, and the finance department manager, who came along to keep track of the expenses. The five of them drove to a large car dealership.


    The cars in the dealership were so dazzling that they left people overwhelmed.


    "My big boss, how many cars are you planning to buy? And what kind of cars do you want to get?" Li Yingzi was also dazzled by the display of cars.


    Although she owned a car herself, it was just a Volkswagen CC. Any car from the high-end section here could easily put her car to shame.


    Jiang Siming thought for a moment and said, "Get three business vans, seven-seater Mercedes models. Each department manager and elite trader will get a personal car, with a price limit of 500,000 yuan per car. Also, rent a large bus along with a long-term driver to use as an employee shuttle for commuting to and from work. That way, they won¡¯t have to squeeze into the subway every day. As for you, Yingzi, pick any car you like. I¡¯ll give you a budget of 2 million yuan."


    These words from Jiang Siming left everyone in a state of shock, their foreheads tingling and their hearts racing uncontrollably.


    "Boss... are you serious?" The finance manager was so excited that he looked like he was about to faint.


    He had only been working for a month, and now he was getting a 500,000-yuan car to drive? Oh my god, not even managers at Fortune 500 companies get treated this well, right?


    At present, most middle-level managers at Fortune 500 companies have an annual salary of only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, while senior-level managers make around 500,000 yuan on average. Typically, only senior managers are assigned company cars.


    And even then, most of the cars assigned are worth only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. A 500,000-yuan car is on par with brands like Land Rover, Mercedes, and BMW ¡ª the kind of treatment only core elite employees at Fortune 500 companies would get.


    "Who¡¯s joking with you? If you don¡¯t want to drive it, we can skip you," Jiang Siming teased.


    "No, no, no, I want it, Chairman! I want it so badly!" The manager shouted excitedly, almost ready to hug Jiang Siming¡¯s leg and break into a tearful opera performance like Lady Meng Jiang.


    "Don¡¯t get too excited. You can drive the car, but it¡¯s not a gift. If you resign or get demoted, you have to return it to the company."


    Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t some foolish landlord throwing money around without reason.


    The cars could be assigned, but they were also a motivational tool for employees to stay diligent.


    While you¡¯re a manager, the car belongs to you. But if your performance is poor and you¡¯re demoted, the car will be taken back and assigned to someone more capable.


    This approach also reduced the likelihood of managers being poached by other companies. While it couldn¡¯t completely prevent it, the fact that a rival company would need to offer a higher-value incentive to lure them away meant that, in the end, Jiang Siming wouldn¡¯t lose out.


    "Rest assured, Chairman! I will work my hardest!" The finance manager immediately made a solemn pledge.


    If he didn¡¯t put in his best effort now, what was the point of life? He might as well jump into a stinky sewer and drown himself.


    The salespeople at the dealership had the same thoughts as the finance manager.


    At first, they thought they had just met a wealthy customer, but it turned out they had met the god of wealth himself.


    "Sir, I¡¯ll inform the manager so he can personally assist you in selecting your cars!"@@@@


    "Why aren¡¯t you following?" The financial manager quickly called out to the two sisters, clearly envious.


    These two secretaries didn¡¯t even have ranks equivalent to a deputy manager, yet they were being taken to the luxury car section to pick a car.


    Sure enough, being close to the emperor makes things easier, and seeking shade under a big tree is always a wise move. It even made him think about quitting his job to become a secretary.


    Well, that¡¯s only if Mr. Jiang would actually hire him.


    "Go ahead and choose. From now on, you two can drive it to and from work," Jiang Siming waved his hand grandly.


    Qi Muxin hopped away like a rabbit, and Qi Muqing chased after her but couldn¡¯t catch up.


    Li Yingzi, who had wandered around, returned beaming with joy.


    "Made your choice?" Jiang Siming asked with a smile.


    Li Yingzi nodded and said, "Under 2 million, right?"


    "It¡¯s fine if it¡¯s a little higher. So, which car did you pick?" Jiang Siming took a sip of the red tea respectfully handed to him by the sales assistant.


    "The Jaguar F-TYPE, hardtop version 2.0T at 600,000, RD convertible version at 1 million, and SVR convertible version at 1.5 million. Chairman, which one do you think I picked?" Li Yingzi asked with a mischievous smile.


    Jiang Siming swallowed the red tea in one gulp and replied without hesitation, "Of course, the SVR convertible. That¡¯s the one we¡¯ll go with."


    "Hehe, the chairman is truly magnanimous!" Li Yingzi beamed with joy, showering him with flattery.


    "Looks like you¡¯ve got good taste. Who¡¯s the most handsome in the company?" Jiang Siming asked smugly.


    "Of course, it¡¯s you! It has to be you!"


    "And who¡¯s the ugliest in the company?"


    "Me!" Li Yingzi declared with resolve, as if ready to stake it all.


    The dealership manager and the sales assistant nearby both felt a bit lightheaded.


    Just like that, he casually picked the most expensive option.


    A few casual words amounted to what could be their salaries for over a decade or even longer.


    Where do they hand out bosses like this? Is it part of some national distribution system? Where can one apply for one of these bosses?

 Chapter 264: What Did I Just Say

    Qi Muxin and Qi Muqing spent some time choosing and eventually settled on an Audi Q7, which cost just over 600,000 yuan.


    Qi Muxin had originally wanted a Porsche 911. She loved its compact and cute design, as well as its looks, performance, and attention-grabbing appeal.


    However, her older sister firmly opposed it and even scolded her. Left with no choice, Qi Muxin obediently followed her sister¡¯s decision and picked a mid-range car.


    "Chairman, we¡¯ve made our choice," Qi Muqing said, feeling a bit embarrassed as she addressed Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming glanced at the Q7 and smiled. "That car is too big for two young women like you. Switch to the 911 instead. It¡¯s smaller, and it¡¯ll be easier for you girls to park and reverse."


    "No, no, that¡¯s not necessary..." Qi Muqing quickly waved her hands and shook her head like a rattle drum.


    The chairman was already too kind to them, so much so that she felt a growing sense of pressure in her heart.


    Even though she knew Jiang Siming¡¯s kindness had no ulterior motives, accepting such a significant favor still left her feeling uneasy.@@@@


    "If you don¡¯t want it, then you can drive the Q7, and Muxin can drive the 911. We¡¯ll buy both," Jiang Siming declared, exuding the aura of a true tycoon.


    "No, no, that¡¯s too much! It¡¯s even more expensive that way. I¡¯ll just follow the chairman¡¯s decision..." Qi Muqing had no way to argue, so she had to comply.


    "Yay! Chairman, I love you! I¡¯m off to pick my car!"


    Qi Muxin, once again able to get the car she loved, was so overjoyed that she could have exploded on the spot. In her excitement, she accidentally blurted out the "truth" without thinking.


    After speaking, she froze. *What did I just say? Did I really say that? Hopefully, the chairman didn¡¯t hear... Emmm...*


    With the cars for the senior company staff all taken care of, the only thing left was the company buses.


    This dealership also sold buses, and Jiang Siming picked out two 9-meter-long "giant beasts" that could carry 49 passengers each.


    With the company¡¯s staff approaching a headcount of 100, it would be difficult to fit everyone on one bus, so buying two was a practical decision.


    Luckily, the dealership had plenty of drivers available. On the spot, Jiang Siming offered them three times their usual salary to recruit drivers.


    Three experienced drivers were immediately hired. All three had both A1 and A2 licenses, with more than ten years of driving experience, ensuring they were steady and reliable.


    These three drivers were assigned to operate the two buses and the company¡¯s business vehicle. On weekdays, they would take turns driving the buses to pick up and drop off employees. At other times, if the company needed to send small groups of employees on business trips, they could use the business vehicle.


    "Actually, hiring two drivers would have been enough. Isn¡¯t three a bit much?" Li Yingzi quietly asked from the side.


    "Too much? I don¡¯t think so. Let¡¯s hire them for now. Experienced drivers like these are hard to come by. In the future, if the company expands or I open a new company, I can transfer them from Yinghuan whenever I need them," Jiang Siming replied with foresight.


    "Fifty or sixty thousand could have been half a year¡¯s salary for me back then, and you call that ¡¯not much¡¯? Just giving it away to these leeches and parasites? You¡¯re way too generous," Jiang Siming said in an annoyed tone.


    "But... it¡¯s really hard to refuse them..." Li Yingzi bit her lip, looking aggrieved as she glanced at Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming crushed the paper cup of red tea in his hand and threw it accurately into the nearby trash can. Then he turned to Li Yingzi and said, "Let me ask you, were you close with these people back in high school? Think carefully."


    "Not really. Most of them used to talk behind my back, saying I was too strict with them."


    "Ha, you see? You already know. This so-called high school classmate friendship has long since changed. But you still insist on putting yourself in the position of the class monitor, like back then, helping every classmate who asks."


    "Then think about it. Why did they badmouth you before but are now eagerly contacting and flattering you? Think about me. I used to be a well-connected guy in class. But now, when they know I¡¯m doing poorly, has a single one of them reached out to comfort me or offer help?"


    "Back in the year before last, I was so broke I couldn¡¯t even pay my rent. I asked my best bro from class for 300 yuan. Do you know what he did? He blocked me immediately."


    "Also, I¡¯m clearly still in our WeChat group. Aside from you, has anyone else ever chatted with me or even said a simple hello? Do you know why?"


    "It¡¯s because they¡¯re afraid I¡¯ll ask them for help, afraid I¡¯ll become their burden. So they pretend I don¡¯t exist. Now do you understand?"


    Jiang Siming¡¯s words left Li Yingzi feeling ashamed and heartbroken for him at the same time.


    But Jiang Siming himself seemed rather cheerful.


    "You don¡¯t have to think I¡¯m miserable. On the contrary, I¡¯m quite happy."


    "Why?" Li Yingzi asked, confused.


    Jiang Siming decisively replied, "Because I didn¡¯t have to pay any price to see so many classmates¡¯ true nature. It made me understand what real friends are and what fake friends are."


    "On the contrary, I pity you more. You seem to be adored and pursued by so many classmates, but none of them are truly sincere toward you. You¡¯re worse off than me."


    As Jiang Siming got emotional, he couldn¡¯t help but poke Li Yingzi¡¯s shoulder with his finger. But he missed and ended up poking somewhere... quite soft and springy.


    Li Yingzi didn¡¯t notice it, instead lowering her head, deep in reflection.


    Finally, she raised her head and said, "Xiao Mingzi, you¡¯re right. I¡¯ve been overthinking it. I always believed that friendship with classmates was really important. I swear, after this reunion, I¡¯m not going to another high school reunion again."


    "Glad you figured it out. My big speech wasn¡¯t wasted, then."


    The two exchanged a glance and burst out laughing together.

 Chapter 265: The More You Pretend, The Happier Dad Gets

    Jiang Siming never expected this Gu Cun to be so stupid. Even if you don¡¯t want to see me mock you, couldn¡¯t you just close your eyes and ignore it?


    But no, he just had to put on a show of being "cool" and disconnected from the game.


    What kind of nonsense did his parents fill his head with as a child?


    Seeing the official response to this situation, Jiang Siming grinned smugly.


    "I¡¯m only afraid you won¡¯t pretend. The more you pretend, the happier I get."


    Although Gu Cun was only 18, Jiang Siming never treated "kids" like him as children. At 18, you¡¯re fully grown, so you should understand the consequences of your actions.


    If an 8-year-old brat caused trouble, Jiang Siming wouldn¡¯t go easy on him, let alone an 18-year-old. Plus, if there¡¯s one thing he hates most, it¡¯s spoiled brats.


    A minute later, the match resumed.


    Since Gu Cun had already disconnected, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t waste any time. He walked over and finished him off with a shot from his Win94.


    As for the other downed player, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t finish him off right away. Instead, he left him as bait.


    This move would expose his position since the downed player could report his location to his teammates. This is why most pro players finish off downed enemies immediately.


    But Jiang Siming didn¡¯t care. He was bold and left the player alive, letting him call out his position as much as he wanted.


    The downed player didn¡¯t disappoint. He immediately started reporting Jiang Siming¡¯s every move to his teammates.


    "He¡¯s at the third-floor stairwell, now he¡¯s in the room on the right... Oh, he came out... He went back in... and now he¡¯s..."


    This teammate¡¯s non-stop commentary left his mouth dry and his throat sore.


    Then he realized something¡ªJiang Siming was deliberately messing with him.


    "Where the heck is he!?" his teammates asked, confused.


    "He should be in... Holy crap, he jumped down!"


    By the time he reported Jiang Siming¡¯s final position, it was already too late.


    Jiang Siming descended from above like a god, landing right on top of two unsuspecting SJ teammates stationed on the ground floor. Before they could react, he wiped them both out. R?a?o?????¦¥S


    "Haha! You have to admit, Ming God is too clever!" commentator Cheng Hui said with excitement.


    "He intentionally left that SJ player alive to call out his location, then deliberately moved back and forth between the room and hallway to make the entire SJ team drop their guard. Finally, when they least expected it, he jumped down and wiped out the two players waiting below. It¡¯s a perfect example of the ¡¯feint from the east, attack from the west¡¯ strategy!"


    Cheng Hui was practically on the edge of his seat, watching it all unfold like it was a military strategy drama from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.


    This was indeed a brilliant play by Jiang Siming. It wasn¡¯t just about raw mechanical skills ¡ª it was about using his brain to outwit his opponents.


    "Enemy kill count +1, Random Butcher Bounty: 99,999 yuan."


    "Enemy kill count +2, Butcher Bounty: 199,998 yuan."


    "Enemy kill count +3, Butcher Bounty: 399,984 yuan."


    "Enemy kill count +4, Butcher Bounty: 799,968 yuan."


    "This is too awesome! If the range was increased to 3000 or 4000 meters, it would be even better."


    Jiang Siming was absolutely thrilled with this skill. He loved playing the role of a bandit, especially in PUBG.


    Since he now knew the opponent¡¯s position, Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t just rush over directly ¡ª that would make it too obvious. People would start to suspect something.


    So, he put on a little show. He pretended to be scouting the rooftop of the casino building, acting as if he had just "discovered" the opponent when they happened to peek out from the window of the blue-roofed building.


    Only then did Jiang Siming descend from the casino and stealthily make his way toward the blue-roofed building.


    "Ming God has such sharp eyes! He immediately spotted the FPX player in the blue-roofed building, and the opponent is still completely unaware," commentator Xiao Xiong said in amazement.


    The other two commentators nodded in agreement.


    Jiang Siming slowly crept forward, sighing to himself, "Being an actor is really tough work."


    When he reached the blue-roofed building, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t know exactly how many people were inside.


    His [Bandit¡¯s Instinct] only revealed enemies with high-level gear. If there were any opponents with ordinary equipment, he wouldn¡¯t be able to see them.


    So, Jiang Siming chose not to rush in head-on. Instead, he opted for a sneakier approach ¡ª footstep control.


    He moved carefully, inch by inch, to avoid making unnecessary noise.


    Jiang Siming was very familiar with the layout of the blue-roofed building. In fact, there were three ways to deal with this type of structure:


    1. Throw grenades from outside.


    2. Use the stairs to engage.


    3. Use the secret route through the storage room.


    Many veteran players might not even know about the third option.


    Each floor of the blue-roofed building has a storage room, and each storage room has a small hole in the ceiling. Directly beneath this hole is a shelf.


    If you climb on top of the shelf, you can then climb up to the hole and access the next floor.


    This method allows you to ascend to the fourth floor, although you can¡¯t reach the rooftop this way.


    Jiang Siming decided to use this method.


    He carefully controlled his footsteps, entered the storage room on the first floor, and pushed himself up onto the shelf. From there, he climbed onto the ceiling, using the opening to get to the next level.


    He repeated this process, floor by floor, moving as quietly as possible. The noise produced by climbing was even quieter than footsteps, making it difficult for enemies to hear.


    When he reached the third-floor shelf, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t climb up immediately.


    Instead, he poked his head out like a cautious old dog, peeking into the fourth-floor hallway to assess the situation.


    He was as steady as a rock.


    Seeing a reckless player like Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t too terrifying. But seeing a steady, calculated Jiang Siming like this was enough to drive opponents to despair.

 Chapter 266: Picked up a Wanda Amusement Park

    As expected, he discovered that there were two people on the fourth floor ¡ª one at the corner window and another at the door. The two formed a crossfire position, defending so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.


    Unfortunately for them, no one was guarding the storage room.


    Jiang Siming successfully snuck up and leisurely aimed his WIN94 at the head of the person at the corner window. He waited for the target to be completely still before calmly firing the shot, leaving no room for error.


    With a loud bang, the shot startled the two people on the fourth floor so much that their mice almost flew out of their hands.


    By the time they realized what had happened, it was already too late. One of them was down, and the other... he wouldn¡¯t escape Jiang Siming¡¯s grasp either.


    After firing that single WIN94 shot, Jiang Siming swiftly switched to his AK, rushed out of the storage room, and sprayed down the other teammate at the stairwell without explanation.@@@@


    In an instant, both of them were down.


    Jiang Siming quickly checked the rest of the fourth floor to make sure no one else was around. Once confirmed, he mercilessly finished off the two downed enemies.


    This time, since there were two players reporting his position, it wouldn¡¯t work to repeat the same sneaky tactic. Besides, it felt a bit like bullying, and Jiang Siming didn¡¯t want to humiliate other teams in the same way.


    This was an "SJ-exclusive combo" ¡ª other teams weren¡¯t qualified to receive it.


    (Other teams: "Thank you so much for your generosity!")


    One of the downed players dropped another red fragment.


    "Picked up [Photography Mastery] red fragment * 1 (2/3). Not enough fragments collected yet, so it cannot be used for now."


    "Nice! Once I complete this fragment, I can take beautiful photos for my girlfriends," Jiang Siming thought.


    In reality, Xinyi and the others had already complained multiple times about Jiang Siming¡¯s terrible photography skills.


    When it came to taking photos, Jiang Siming was just like every other guy in the world ¡ª clumsy hands...


    "Just wait until I complete this fragment! Let¡¯s see if they¡¯ll still dare to criticize my photography skills!"


    Jiang Siming tucked the fragment away, then climbed out the window of the fourth floor, stepped onto the outside staircase, and made his way to the rooftop.


    At this point, the two FPX players, knowing that their teammates were already dead, decided not to recklessly charge in. Instead, they set up their rifles from a distance, hoping to get a lucky shot and catch Jiang Siming off guard.


    Bang! Bang!

    Just as Jiang Siming reached the rooftop, several bullets flew toward his face. One of them even hit the brand-new level 3 armor he had just picked up. ?A??O???E?s


    "They already ruined my new clothes?! I won¡¯t let you get away with this!"


    Jiang Siming growled in anger. From the moment he got shot, he had already identified the enemy¡¯s position. One of them was crouching behind a ventilation duct on the rooftop of the L-shaped double-story building.


    He aimed at him with the WIN94, but the opponent was sly.


    Knowing Jiang Siming was an expert sniper, the player refused to peek. The moment Jiang Siming aimed, the player would pull back, refusing to give him any chance.


    Jiang Siming was speechless. Seeing that this method wouldn¡¯t work, he decided to change tactics. He pretended to aim at the other player.


    Even with that, the guy still didn¡¯t budge.


    Moreover, many viewers were sending gifts during this Fan Festival, causing the fan badge count to skyrocket by more than 1 million, now totaling 3.66 million badges.


    However, his level remained at 100. If it weren¡¯t for the level cap, he might have reached level 500 by now. With tens of billions of gift revenue from the Fan Festival, it was no joke.


    The guy on the rooftop of the "L building" dropped a gold fragment for Jiang Siming.


    After fully healing himself, Jiang Siming ran over to pick it up.


    "Picked up [Wanda Park Nanchang Station] gold fragment *1 (1/8). The number of fragments is incomplete, so it cannot be used for now."


    Jiang Siming was surprised. He didn¡¯t expect to pick up something related to the Wanda amusement park.


    The Wanda Park brand had a huge reputation. It was known as the declaration of war against Disney by Asia¡¯s richest man at the time.


    Back then, Wang Jianlin declared that he would vigorously develop China¡¯s own amusement park projects to surpass Disney.


    Years later, Wang didn¡¯t just make empty promises. He established Wanda Parks in various second-tier cities across China.


    As for why he chose second-tier cities, it¡¯s obvious ¡ª land in second-tier cities is cheaper.


    But even so, each Wanda Park required an unprecedentedly large investment.


    The Wanda Park in Nanchang, Jiangxi, was the largest and also the first Wanda Park to be established.


    It included famous attractions, theme parks, movie parks, ocean parks, Wanda Plaza, international resort hotels, gourmet dining, surrounding merchandise, and more.


    The park covered a terrifying area of 1.6 million square meters, with a total construction area of 4.75 million square meters.


    The total investment was... 40 billion yuan!!


    It was the largest investment project in Jiangxi Province in 30 years and was completed and operational in 2016.


    Even though Wanda¡¯s amusement park investment later faced failures and caused financial losses, and even though the total value of the Nanchang Wanda Park had depreciated,


    Wang Jianlin did not lose out because, as long as the land remained, he would never be at a loss.


    But now, this 40 billion yuan mega project was a little shaky in Jiang Siming¡¯s hands.


    If he could collect all the fragments and sell it, wouldn¡¯t he gain a net profit of hundreds of billions in assets?


    Of course, that would only be possible if there was a buyer.


    No wonder it required 8 fragments to be fully collected ¡ª Jiang Siming felt that it was more than worth it.


    Treating the fragment like a treasure, he stored it safely in his mind.


    Suddenly, Jiang Siming had a mischievous thought.


    If he did collect all the fragments and snatch Wang¡¯s Wanda Park, wouldn¡¯t Wang¡¯s son, Principal Wang, be furious?


    After all, it was part of his future inheritance.


    But who cares? At worst, Jiang Siming would just treat him to a meal as compensation, hehe.

 Chapter 267: What’s This Nonsense

    Jiang Siming killed his way out of Picado, and with 8 kills, he made the viewers realize that this was far from the end ¡ª it was just the beginning.


    After searching around Picado, Jiang Siming only found a three-wheeled motorcycle.


    "It¡¯s hard to show off driving skills with a three-wheeler," Jiang Siming muttered with a bit of frustration.


    Although the speed of the three-wheeler was similar to a two-wheeled motorcycle, and it had an extra wheel, it wasn¡¯t as agile as the two-wheeler. The front was clunky, and it couldn¡¯t do flips in the air.


    But since it was the only vehicle available, Jiang Siming had no choice but to hop on, start it up, and drive out of Picado.


    "Are there any enemies over there?" Jiang Siming asked Xianmu and the others, who were still in Small E City. Since their location was still within the safe zone, there was no rush to move.


    "No, I don¡¯t think so. We haven¡¯t seen anyone for now," Aluka replied.


    "Alright, then I¡¯ll head in the opposite direction." Since there were no enemies on their side, Jiang Siming decided to continue wandering around.


    He drove towards the abandoned power plant. The players there heard the sound of his vehicle and initially wanted to attack. However, when they saw from a distance that it was only Jiang Siming, they all decided to stay hidden.


    "Don¡¯t shoot, don¡¯t shoot, that¡¯s probably Jiang Siming!" The four members of the power plant team all stayed put.


    But one of them, who had a Kar98k with an 8x scope, had already become a heat source in Jiang Siming¡¯s vision.


    Jiang Siming had noticed them even before reaching San Martin, so he headed straight in their direction.


    There was actually another team in San Martin ¡ª none other than Principal Wang¡¯s IG team.@@@@


    Fortunately, they didn¡¯t have any high-tier gear and managed to avoid disaster for now.


    "Yo, I picked up a level 3 vest. Hehe, lucky me," one of the IG team members chuckled as he put on the level 3 vest he found in a small restroom in San Martin and bragged a little to his teammates.


    When Jiang Siming reached the abandoned power plant, he first drove around the perimeter in circles. But no one inside took the bait ¡ª not a single one of them came out.


    Seeing this, Jiang Siming decided to drive his motorcycle to the back exit and head inside, pretending to loot the place.


    This time, the WE members in the power plant couldn¡¯t sit still. Jiang Siming¡¯s guts were just too big ¡ª he actually dared to walk straight into their territory alone?


    "He doesn¡¯t have a vehicle now! Let¡¯s go and surround him!" The WE captain immediately gave the order.


    Although they wanted to stay hidden, they couldn¡¯t be sure if Jiang Siming would head in their direction.


    The key issue was that they were afraid Jiang Siming was only here to scout. If Wei Shen and his team followed him, WE would lose all their positional advantage. r?a?O??E?s?


    Since Jiang Siming didn¡¯t have a vehicle now, and they had the upper hand in positioning, there was no reason he should be able to escape!


    As soon as the WE team moved, Jiang Siming noticed it. The guy with the 8x scope on his Kar98k was already moving in his direction.


    Mistakes like this are bound to happen. It¡¯s impossible to be as precise as a robot with every shot. Occasionally missing isn¡¯t that strange.


    Fortunately, although he didn¡¯t finish the enemy, he was still on the rooftop, so the opponents wouldn¡¯t be able to reach him anytime soon.


    This is where Jiang Siming¡¯s choice to carry the WIN94 all this time paid off. This gun has the fastest shot interval of any sniper rifle.


    After firing a shot, it takes less than 0.5 seconds to be ready for the next one.


    Jiang Siming used this opportunity to take down the previously hit WE member.


    After taking two bullets from him, that WE player was knocked down. The remaining WE members immediately launched an intense attack on the rooftop.


    "Xiao Luo, cover our footsteps with gunfire. Old P and I will go upstairs and take him out," the WE captain quickly made a tactical decision.


    Xiao Luo began firing fiercely, trying to use the sound of his gunshots to mask the footsteps of the two teammates.


    But what they didn¡¯t expect was that Jiang Siming¡¯s hearing had been greatly enhanced. It was easy for him to distinguish the sound of gunfire from the two sets of footsteps climbing the stairs.


    Jiang Siming remained calm and unhurried as he pulled a flashbang out of his pocket, pulled the pin, and tossed it toward the second-floor staircase.


    Right as the two WE players reached the second floor, the flashbang went off in full force, blinding them both.


    "Damn it!"


    The two of them were shocked, their screens turning into a bright white flash.


    They had actually heard Jiang Siming pulling the pin, but they assumed it was a frag grenade. Frag grenades take five seconds to explode, so they boldly charged toward the rooftop.


    Little did they know, Jiang Siming had thrown a flashbang.


    The moment he threw it, Jiang Siming was already confident they would both be blinded.


    Without wasting half a second, he switched to his rifle, vaulted over the third-floor railing, and descended directly onto the heads of the two WE members.


    While in mid-air, Jiang Siming pressed and held the trigger, unleashing a hail of 7.62mm bullets.


    The bullets poured down like rain, piercing straight through the crowns of their heads and into their bodies.


    Before the flashbang¡¯s blinding effect even ended, the two players had already fallen to the ground, both knocked out.


    The remaining player, Xiao Luo, was completely panicking. Four players versus one, and in the blink of an eye, three of them were dead.


    "What the heck is this game even?!" he yelled in frustration.

 Chapter 268: Annihilated Two Teams!

    Thinking about it being Jiang Siming, the squad-wiping demon, the remaining players managed to keep their composure. After all, the number of squads annihilated by this guy was too many to count, and they were not the only victims.


    After knocking down the two players, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even have time to finish them off. He immediately returned to the rooftop.


    He happened to spot the remaining WE player running to the cover where the first downed teammate lay, attempting to revive him.


    Fortunately, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t waste time finishing off the two downed players. Otherwise, he might not have noticed that this guy had sneakily changed his position.


    Now that he had spotted him, there was no way to let him go.


    Jiang Siming once again reached into his "bag of tricks" and pulled out an item ¡ª this time, it was a real grenade.


    He pulled the pin, counted the seconds, and threw it!


    Everyone had seen Jiang Siming¡¯s gunplay and movement techniques, but they never knew that his grenade-throwing skills were even better than Wei Shen, the so-called "God of Thunder."


    The main reason was that Jiang Siming usually didn¡¯t like to use grenades. Compared to throwing grenades, gunfights were far more enjoyable.


    The moment the grenade hit the opponent¡¯s face, it exploded instantly, not even giving it a chance to hit the ground.


    The grenade¡¯s blast shattered the last bit of WE¡¯s hope, and Jiang Siming once again emerged as the final victor.


    "Looted [Detox Beauty Pill x1 Box] Blue Fragment x1 (1/1), fragment count is full, it can be used directly."


    "Looted [Romane?e-Conti Grand Cru Red Wine x10 Cases] Gold Fragment x1 (1/2), fragment count is incomplete, cannot be used yet."


    After picking up the two fragments, he also got a box of Detox Beauty Pills. Not bad, not bad ¡ª he was just running low on this item.


    The previous box was almost empty since Jiang Siming had been using them quickly. This new box came at just the right time.


    The gold fragment also pleased Jiang Siming. Romane?e-Conti Grand Cru red wine was one of the ten most expensive wines in the world.


    He had heard about it before at the TAXX nightclub when Young Master Wang was bragging. It wasn¡¯t any worse than Lafite, and a single bottle cost nearly 100,000 yuan. A case of six bottles had a total value of 600,000 yuan.


    Although Jiang Siming didn¡¯t really enjoy drinking wine, since the fragment was free, he took it without hesitation.


    Just after picking up the fragments, Jiang Siming spotted a flash of red from San Martin, with the distinct silhouette of a player wearing a Level 3 vest. ?A??o?§£E?S?


    Ignoring the four loot crates on the ground, Jiang Siming got back on his three-wheeled motorcycle and charged straight for San Martin.


    On IG¡¯s side, they still had no idea what was going on. Why was this god of death, after slaughtering the players at the abandoned power plant, suddenly rushing into their San Martin?@@@@


    "Don¡¯t shoot at him. He¡¯s probably just passing through San Martin."


    The sight of the complete annihilation of WE¡¯s squad at the abandoned power plant was still fresh in their minds. No one dared to provoke this killing machine.


    Jiang Siming drove his three-wheeled motorcycle straight into San Martin. But instead of leaving right away, he stopped beside a parked Jeep as if he was planning to switch vehicles.


    The downed IG teammate continued to play the role of a "fountain commander," reporting the situation to his remaining teammates.


    The two teammates believed him and immediately crept along the right side of the road, trying to flank Jiang Siming. It would take them only three seconds to reach him, while using even a basic first aid kit would take five seconds.


    Without hesitation, Jiang Siming canceled his healing action. Using the jeep and tricycle as cover, he crouched, moved to the right side of the jeep¡¯s door, peeked out, and raised his AK through the car window. He immediately spotted the two IG players on the road.


    He pulled the trigger, focused on one of them, and took him down before ducking back behind cover. The entire action lasted less than a second, and Jiang Siming only fired five shots.


    But since he aimed exclusively at the head, those five bullets were enough to knock the player down.


    Just as he crouched back, bullets from the remaining IG player whizzed past where he had just been. Fortunately, he dodged in time. One more hit would have killed him.


    At this point, IG¡¯s morale was crumbling. Their last player was in a dilemma ¡ª retreat or push?


    Read new chapters at


    "He¡¯s pinned! He can¡¯t move! Shoot the car! Blow it up and kill him!" the IG captain roared in frustration.


    Following the order, the last player began firing at the jeep, aiming to blow it up. Bullets riddled the jeep¡¯s body, and thick black smoke started pouring out of it.


    Just as the car was about to explode, Jiang Siming suddenly stood up again, holding the same AK.


    But unlike the IG player, who was focused on shooting the car, Jiang Siming¡¯s AK was aimed at the enemy¡¯s helmet.


    The last IG player couldn¡¯t withstand the barrage of bullets, and he fell as well.


    The jeep was now spewing heavy smoke, just a few shots away from exploding. If it had blown up, Jiang Siming would have died.


    The four IG players were so frustrated that they probably wanted to smash their keyboards. Looking back, they realized that if they had all shot at the car earlier, Jiang Siming would have been killed.


    But if they had done that, Jiang Siming would have definitely escaped.


    No matter how they thought about it, they could only blame themselves for not being good enough.


    This intense fight had the audience on the edge of their seats. Jiang Siming had danced on the edge of life and death multiple times, but he never died. Instead, he pulled off a series of "sliver of health" reversals, taking them down one by one.


    No wonder the livestream had so many viewers. Who could leave after watching this kind of play?


    This battle had left Jiang Siming in a dire state as well. His helmet and armor were both in the red zone of durability, and his health bar was hanging by a thread.


    "Seeing that he¡¯s in such bad shape, I guess I¡¯ll let go of the grudge of him wiping out my team again," Principal Wang muttered as he sent a message in the chat, making the viewers burst into laughter.


    It seemed like the Principal¡¯s dream journey in PUBG wouldn¡¯t be realized this year.


    With their defeat, IG¡¯s placement in the tournament fell significantly, and it looked like they¡¯d be saying goodbye to the stage after the group stage.

 Chapter 269: What If It Was Coercion

    Tonight¡¯s group match was comparable to the night Jiang Siming scored 33 kills.


    ¡¾Bandit Instinct¡¿ was extremely useful. Every time Jiang Siming wiped out a squad, he could immediately locate another.


    After all, even if he didn¡¯t loot airdrops, level-3 armor and 8x scopes¡ªthese high-level items¡ªwere relatively common.


    Since they were common, it meant Jiang Siming could easily find enemies.


    Throughout the entire game, Jiang Siming took down 23 players and collected a total of 11 fragments.


    Aside from the 7 pieces he had already revealed, he obtained 4 more pieces.


    These were:


    - ¡¾Advanced Basketball¡¿ x1


    - ¡¾Wanda Amusement Park¡¿ x1@@@@


    - ¡¾Desert Eagle¡¿ x1


    - ¡¾Romanee-Conti Red Wine¡¿ x1


    These four fragments allowed him to complete two items: ¡¾Desert Eagle¡¿ and ¡¾Romanee-Conti¡¿.


    Although Jiang Siming didn¡¯t want to waste fragments on the Desert Eagle, he had no choice since it was randomly assigned.


    He could only hope that there wouldn¡¯t be any more of these gray fragments in the future.


    They were even less useful than the red wine. At least the red wine could be consumed or sold for money.


    If he dared to sell the Desert Eagle, Jiang Siming would practically become an arms dealer...


    Currently, he was only 2 pieces away from completing ¡¾Advanced Basketball¡¿, 6 pieces away from ¡¾Wanda Amusement Park¡¿, and 1 piece away from completing ¡¾Photography Mastery¡¿.


    Once these three items were done, he would finally be "debt-free."


    Of course, that assumed no new fragments would appear.


    The game ended, and Wei Shen and his teammates got up from their chairs, feeling disinterested, as they prepared to face the "baptism" of camera shots and the commentators¡¯ praise. R??a??§à?E?S?


    When they heard the commentators shouting "4AM is awesome," Wei Shen and his teammates felt a little embarrassed.


    This match had nothing to do with them. They camped from start to finish and only scored one kill each in the final circle to win the match.


    "Yeah. I¡¯m about to join the Heaven Group. If I don¡¯t train hard, I¡¯ll just get eliminated and kicked out," Li Shengxue replied with a nod.


    "Did you take the pills I gave you?" Jiang Siming asked.


    Li Shengxue shook her head with a puzzled expression. "Aren¡¯t those pills for detoxification, beauty, and healing? Why would I take them?"


    Although she didn¡¯t fully believe in the efficacy of these pills, since Jiang Siming had given them to her, she chose to trust him.


    "True, but the Detox and Beauty Pill is still useful. When you go back tonight, make sure you take one. You¡¯ll be in for a big surprise. Also, here¡¯s a ¡¾Strengthening Pill¡¿. It can enhance your physique, which will be very helpful for your training. There are ten pills in total, so take one per month. I guarantee you¡¯ll see significant benefits."


    Jiang Siming stuffed all the ¡¾Body Strengthening Pills¡¿ he had obtained from the last match into Li Shengxue¡¯s hands. He had no use for them himself, and his family and wives didn¡¯t need them either. Li Shengxue was the one who needed them most, so he simply gave them all to her.


    Li Shengxue chuckled as she held the box Jiang Siming handed her. She felt that this man had a surprisingly adorable side to him, always giving her these things as if coaxing a child. Nevertheless, she carefully stored them away and sincerely thanked Jiang Siming.


    "Will you walk with me for a bit?" Li Shengxue invited.


    "I¡¯d love to! Wait a moment, I¡¯ll park the car," Jiang Siming replied. He turned the car toward the side of the road. Even if he might get points deducted for illegal parking, who cared? Walking with a beautiful police officer was far more important than a few points on his license.


    "Move the car a few meters forward, under that sycamore tree. It¡¯s a blind spot for surveillance cameras," Li Shengxue said as she walked up to Jiang Siming¡¯s window.


    "A beautiful police officer helping me park illegally and evade fines ¡ª this must be the pinnacle of my career as a driver," Jiang Siming joked, though he obediently moved the car to the designated spot.


    "I just figured since you¡¯re wasting your time walking with me, the least I can do is make sure you don¡¯t get fined. Otherwise, I¡¯d feel too guilty," Li Shengxue explained with a barely convincing excuse.


    "How can you call it ¡¯wasting time¡¯? That¡¯s such a low-class and inaccurate term. It¡¯s called ¡¯cherishing the moments of life.¡¯ Come on, let¡¯s head to the park ahead for a walk," Jiang Siming said, taking the lead as he stepped forward. Li Shengxue felt a little embarrassed but quickly followed him.


    The two of them strolled along the pebble path of the park at night. The quiet of a summer night surrounded them, with the chirping of crickets and insects from the flowerbeds and woods providing a natural "soundtrack" to their walk. It was a peaceful, romantic atmosphere.


    "Ahh... ahh... mmm..."


    If it weren¡¯t for the strange sounds coming from the woods, it would have remained a truly romantic moment.


    "How can they do this kind of thing in a public place? I have to make them leave," Li Shengxue¡¯s face turned bright red, but her instinct as a police officer compelled her to walk toward the woods.


    Jiang Siming quickly grabbed her arm, laughing helplessly. "Just leave them be. Some people like this kind of thing. You can¡¯t stop them all."


    "But this is a public place, and they..." Li Shengxue was flustered, her cheeks burning with embarrassment.


    "Come on, it¡¯s not like they¡¯re doing it in broad daylight for everyone to see. They¡¯re sneaking off into the woods in mutual agreement. There¡¯s no need for you to interfere," Jiang Siming said, trying to calm her down.


    "How do you know it¡¯s mutual? What if it¡¯s coercion?" Li Shengxue asked with a naive and serious expression.


    Jiang Siming burst out laughing. "Pfft!"

 Chapter 270: Go Up and Be a Good Baby

    "Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?" Li Shengxue asked. She was completely clueless when it came to matters between men and women.


    "Stop laughing and tell me!" Seeing Jiang Siming laughing non-stop, Li Shengxue got anxious, but it was a kind of anxiousness born from embarrassment.


    Jiang Siming finally managed to hold back his laughter and said to Li Shengxue, "Just listen to that woman¡¯s voice. She¡¯s being so wild. If there¡¯s any forcing going on, it¡¯s probably her forcing the man."


    "Ugh!"


    Li Shengxue¡¯s face turned red with embarrassment as she spat in frustration. But after listening closely to the sounds coming from the woods, she realized that the woman¡¯s voice did seem a bit... loud.


    "Let¡¯s just go. I don¡¯t want to stay here any longer," Li Shengxue grabbed Jiang Siming¡¯s hand and pulled him away, clearly eager to leave as soon as possible.


    The two of them hurriedly ran out of the park. Only after exiting did Li Shengxue regain her composure, though her face was still a little flushed.


    Going on a date with Jiang Siming and running into such an embarrassing situation ¡ª it was far too awkward.@@@@


    Since they could no longer go to the park, the two had no choice but to stroll aimlessly along the street. After wandering around for a while, it was almost 11 o¡¯clock.


    "Shall I take you home?" Jiang Siming asked, concerned that she might have something to do the next day.


    Li Shengxue hesitated for a moment before nodding and getting into the car.


    Following Li Shengxue¡¯s instructions, Jiang Siming drove her to a residential apartment complex near the police station.


    Li Shengxue lived here. As a criminal investigation team leader, she had her own two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment provided by the department.


    "I only stay here when I¡¯m busy with work. Most of the time, I go back home," Li Shengxue explained to Jiang Siming.


    "So, are you really that busy today? Why did you bring me here?" Jiang Siming asked, puzzled.


    Li Shengxue rolled her eyes at his cluelessness. How could she dare bring him home? Her parents were there!


    "Tomorrow I have to hand over some duties, so staying close to the station makes things more convenient," she said, coming up with a makeshift excuse.


    Continue reading on


    "Ah, I see," Jiang Siming didn¡¯t think too much of it.


    "Um... do you want to come up for a bit?" Li Shengxue tried her best to sound natural.


    Jiang Siming glanced at her and, with a sly grin, said, "Aren¡¯t you afraid of being alone with me in your apartment? What if I do something to you?"


    Li Shengxue¡¯s face flushed as she snorted, "I¡¯m a criminal investigator. If you try anything, I can have you subdued in no time."


    "Are you sure you can beat me?" Jiang Siming raised an eyebrow.


    "Of course I can. You lost to me last time, remember?" Li Shengxue said with a proud smile.


    Jiang Siming replied without even turning his head. His eyes were fixed on a photo displayed on a cabinet.


    The photo showed a young Li Shengxue being held by a man in a military uniform, with a beautiful woman standing beside them.


    The man had a heroic appearance, and on his shoulders were the insignia of two stripes and one star, symbolizing the rank of major.


    Judging by the photo¡¯s age, it had to have been taken more than ten years ago.


    If he was a major back then, what rank would he be now?


    "That¡¯s my dad, that¡¯s my mom, and the one in the middle is me," Li Shengxue walked over to introduce them.


    "Is your dad still working in the military?" Jiang Siming asked curiously.


    "Yeah, he¡¯s still on duty. My grandfather has already retired," Li Shengxue nodded in response.


    "Your family is a military family, huh?" Jiang Siming said in surprise.


    Li Shengxue smiled but did not deny it. "Not me, though. I¡¯m a police officer. But my older cousins and younger cousins are all in the military."


    "Can I ask what positions your father and grandfather hold now? What insignia are they wearing on their shoulders?"


    "My grandfather¡¯s rank is classified, but my dad is currently a brigade commander in the Southeast Military District with the rank of major general," Li Shengxue answered honestly.


    Jiang Siming felt dizzy after hearing this. Her father was a brigade commander, and her grandfather¡¯s rank was "classified."


    If it was classified, it must have been extremely high.


    "Man, comparing people really is maddening," Jiang Siming said with a laugh.


    Li Shengxue glanced at him a few times, her face suddenly turning red.


    "I¡¯m going to the bathroom. Wait for me a moment," she said.


    "Alright, go ahead," Jiang Siming replied casually, still engrossed in examining the trophies and commendations.


    Li Shengxue quickly ran to the bathroom.


    After more than half an hour, she came back out, having taken a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes.


    She was now wearing a black silk nightgown, with a style that was a bit like lingerie.


    Her delicate feet were bare, and she walked slowly and gracefully on the floor.


    Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, with water droplets still clinging to the ends, giving her the look of a forest elf emerging from the misty woods.

 Chapter 271: High School Reunion

    Jiang Siming heard the sound and casually glanced back, but he couldn¡¯t move his gaze away.


    Feeling Jiang Siming¡¯s burning stare, Li Shengxue¡¯s face turned as red as fire.


    However, she mustered her courage, step by step approaching Jiang Siming. Resolutely, she raised her head, her gaze tender and filled with longing.


    "I¡¯ve always wanted to tell you... I like you. I¡¯m leaving tomorrow... I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll be back, so... could you... make me yours?"


    After saying this, Li Shengxue was so embarrassed that she closed her eyes, not daring to meet Jiang Siming¡¯s gaze.


    But after a long while, Li Shengxue received no response from Jiang Siming. Thinking he had rejected her, she opened her eyes in heart-wrenching pain, only to find Jiang Siming was no longer in the living room.


    "Shengxue, could you bring me a towel?" Jiang Siming suddenly called out from the bathroom.


    Li Shengxue turned around and saw that Jiang Siming was already completely undressed, washing himself in the shower. He was so quick that he had already washed his hair and was rinsing off.


    "Why are you... taking a shower?" Li Shengxue asked in confusion, her face full of disbelief.


    Without hesitation, Jiang Siming replied, "You already took a bath. If I don¡¯t wash up, wouldn¡¯t I seem dirty? How could I have the nerve to lie on your bed?"


    Li Shengxue immediately understood, covered her face, and ran to her bedroom.


    After a while, she came out again, holding a dry towel and handed it to Jiang Siming.


    "Why... are you so fast at showering?" Li Shengxue realized that while she was fetching the towel, Jiang Siming had already finished, taking the towel and beginning to dry his hair.


    "How could I not be quick? Every moment of a spring night is worth a thousand gold."


    Jiang Siming said this, threw the towel back into the bathroom, and rushed out to carry Li Shengxue into the bedroom.


    ...


    The next morning at dawn, Jiang Siming walked out of Li Shengxue¡¯s fragrant room, finding the house already empty.


    On the table, there was breakfast and a letter full of heartfelt words Li Shengxue had written to him.


    The handwriting was delicate, and the paper carried tear stains, suggesting that Li Shengxue had cried when she left.


    In truth, Jiang Siming had already known she was awake, but he understood that parting was inevitable. If he got up, it would only make it harder for her to leave.


    It was better to pretend to be asleep, giving her a little space to cope.


    Knowing Li Shengxue had already left, Jiang Siming tidied up the room. However, the blood-stained bedsheet from the night before seemed to have been secretly taken away by Li Shengxue.


    After tidying up the room, Jiang Siming locked the door and left. Before leaving, Li Shengxue had even left him a house key, clearly treating him as someone she deeply cherished.


    "Hey, Fatty, your suit must be from Aobao Fani, right? It costs at least five thousand, doesn¡¯t it?"


    "It¡¯s okay, not as flashy as you, Er Gou. Didn¡¯t you buy a VW Teramont this year? That car costs over three hundred thousand, right?"


    "Not that much. Most of it came from my wife¡¯s family. I¡¯m struggling with the car loan now. How could I compare with the class monitor?"


    "I heard the class monitor mention in the group chat that Jiang Siming would come to this reunion."


    "Jiang Siming? That name sounds so familiar. Isn¡¯t there a super popular streamer recently by that name? Earned a billion in one night!"


    "It¡¯s just the same name. Jiang Siming is our classmate, remember? He used to be considered the most handsome guy in school by some of the silly girls in our class."


    "Oh, it¡¯s him. How¡¯s he doing now?"


    "Not great, from what I¡¯ve heard. Didn¡¯t Dajun say at the last reunion a couple of years ago that he even borrowed five hundred yuan from him? Is that true, Dajun?"


    "Haha, yeah! I blocked him immediately, thought he was a scammer. I mean, how broke must you be to need five hundred yuan? A single foot massage costs me over a thousand!"


    *Hahaha!* The group of men burst into laughter.


    While they were having a good time chatting, a figure unfamiliar to them walked over.


    Although the person seemed unfamiliar, there was something oddly familiar about him, as if they¡¯d seen him somewhere before.


    Moreover, his physique and looks were stunning enough to make them feel utterly insignificant.


    They assumed he was some celebrity they hadn¡¯t met before.


    The man approached them and asked, "Excuse me, could you tell me where the room for Nantian High School¡¯s 12th-year reunion is?"


    "Uh... it¡¯s on the third floor, in the Yaxuan room," someone answered.


    "Thank you." After asking, he headed toward the restaurant.


    "Hey, bro, are you the husband of one of our female classmates?" Dajun called out to Jiang Siming, assuming he must be someone¡¯s spouse.


    The man turned around and, with an expressionless look, replied, "I¡¯m Jiang Siming."

    After saying that, Jiang Siming turned and walked into the restaurant.


    The group was left standing there, their eyes wide with shock.

 Chapter 272: It’s Really Jiang Siming!

    "Is this... Jiang Siming?"


    "It really is him? Impossible."


    "He does look a bit like him, but the change is too drastic."


    "Do you think he heard us talking about him just now?"


    "He definitely heard. Even a deaf person could¡¯ve heard from this distance."


    "So what? If he heard, he heard. What¡¯s the big deal? Just because he¡¯s not doing well, we¡¯re not allowed to mention it?"@@@@


    "Exactly. Look at what he¡¯s wearing¡ªwho comes to a reunion in casual clothes? Is he trying to be funny?"


    Experience tales at


    The group of men quickly resumed their normal demeanor, continuing to wait for their "most important guest." As for Jiang Siming, he was already forgotten by them.


    Jiang Siming walked toward the third floor, shaking his head in disappointment. This class reunion turned out exactly as he had expected¡ªutterly disappointing.


    "Sigh, why did I agree to come just because Li Yingzi asked me? Staying home to play games, collect shards, or spend time with my wife would¡¯ve been a hundred times better than this."


    "Yeah, handsome, hand over your WeChat!"


    "I¡¯ll cut to the chase¡ªare you single?"


    "Xiao Li, you¡¯re so thirsty!"


    "Of course! All the boyfriends I¡¯ve dated so far were useless. Not a single spark."


    "Xiao Li, maybe you need a Black boyfriend. Hahaha..."


    The women burst into laughter, joking and teasing one another. Their expressions lacked even a trace of the youthful shyness they might have shown around boys back in the day. Instead, each of them seemed to have become bold and brash.


    The years and society had washed away their innocence, leaving behind something that felt unfamiliar¡ªcompletely foreign to Jiang Siming.


    For a moment, Jiang Siming felt the urge to simply close the door and leave.


    In the end, he chose to step inside, taking a seat in a corner of the room¡¯s lounge area. Silently, he lit a cigarette and said nothing.


    The women were puzzled. How could someone who had entered the wrong room sit there so calmly? Could he be a waiter?


    "Handsome, are you trying to use the cold and aloof persona to attract girls?" Wang Xue said with a faintly mocking smile.

 Chapter 273: Li Yingzi’s Outburst

    Jiang Siming instantly became the focus of attention in the private room; after all, very few women could resist his overwhelming good looks.


    Jiang Siming played along, casually chatting with them here and there.


    Wang Xue, seeing that everyone had taken away her chance to talk to Jiang Siming alone, felt a bit displeased but didn¡¯t show it.


    Meanwhile, outside the restaurant, a group of men was still waiting for their important guest.


    Finally, a Jaguar F-TYPE pulled up, and Li Yingzi stepped out of the car.


    "Wow! That car is so cool!"


    "Now *this* is what you call a car. Yingzi must be making a fortune."


    "She sure picked the right company. No matter what, I have to convince her to let me join her company today."


    "I heard that the benefits at Yinghuan Financial are five times higher than other financial companies. Even the receptionist¡¯s salary is over three times higher than elsewhere."


    "With my relationship with Yingzi, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to get me a section chief position, right?"


    "You guys are so shallow. I think Yingzi is getting prettier and prettier. I wonder if she¡¯d consider going out with me, hehe."


    ...


    "I¡¯ll go park my car. Wait here for me," Li Yingzi said to them and then drove to the parking lot.


    When she got out of the car, Li Yingzi glanced around the parking lot but didn¡¯t see Jiang Siming¡¯s Brabus or Aston Martin.


    She remembered that Jiang Siming usually drove those two cars, but she didn¡¯t see them in the lot. Instead, there was a very eye-catching Lamborghini from the *Sakuragi Hanamichi* series.


    "Could it be that guy hasn¡¯t arrived yet?"


    Li Yingzi, still puzzled, walked back to the restaurant entrance, where a group of ten or so men escorted her inside like bodyguards.


    "Has Xiao Mingzi arrived?" Li Yingzi asked.


    "Xiao Mingzi? Who¡¯s that?" Everyone froze for a moment.


    Li Yingzi gave a subtle, almost imperceptible bitter smile.


    Even the nickname she loved using the most was unfamiliar to them, yet they kept claiming to have a close relationship with her?


    "I¡¯m talking about Jiang Siming," Li Yingzi explained.


    "Oh, him? Yeah, he came in earlier. Didn¡¯t even bother to come out and greet our head class monitor¡ªso thoughtless."


    "What¡¯s poverty anyway? With Jiang Siming¡¯s looks, he could charm a rich woman into supporting him in no time. Wang Xue, are you planning to sponsor him, haha!"


    Your adventure continues at


    ...


    Even the onlookers felt these comments went too far.


    "Shut up!" Li Yingzi snapped on the spot. "Is this how you insult and ridicule a classmate? Is this a gathering or your platform for showing off?"


    At her outburst, the men quickly quieted down.


    "Don¡¯t take it to heart, Yingzi. We¡¯re just joking with Jiang Siming, isn¡¯t that right? Surely, as a grown man, he wouldn¡¯t mind," said Wang Biwen, the former class monitor. He looked scholarly with gold-rimmed glasses, but his smile carried an air of insincerity.


    Faced with the question, Jiang Siming felt it would be inappropriate to remain silent.


    "Of course, I don¡¯t mind. We¡¯re all old classmates, right?"


    With a magnanimous expression, Wang Biwen addressed Jiang Siming warmly. "Jiang, you¡¯ve got a great attitude. How about this? I happen to have some high-quality tea in my car. I¡¯ll gift you a few packs later. It¡¯s West Lake Dragon Well tea, each pack worth several hundred yuan."


    "Wow, thanks so much. I¡¯ve never had such fancy tea before," Jiang Siming replied with feigned delight.


    Feeling proud, Wang Biwen grinned and said to Li Yingzi, "See? You totally misunderstood us. We men just have a different way of talking."


    Li Yingzi glanced at Jiang Siming and, deciding to let it slide, turned to the group and said, "Since almost everyone is here, let¡¯s take our seats. Waiter, bring the menu."


    She walked toward the dining table, followed eagerly by Wang Biwen and the other men, all trying to sit next to her.


    "Chairman Jiang, could I trouble you to sit with me?" Li Yingzi turned and smiled sweetly at Jiang Siming, who was still lounging on the sofa. Her plan to expose his "facade" was in motion.


    Chairman Jiang? She had to be joking!


    No one believed those words. They thought Li Yingzi was just teasing Jiang Siming.


    Nicknames like this were common, even back in school, when they¡¯d called each other "President Li," "President Wang," or "President Zhang." It was just a title, nothing more.


    "When did the school heartthrob gain the nickname ¡¯Chairman Jiang¡¯? Hahaha."


    Feeling exasperated, Li Yingzi was about to explain when Jiang Siming walked over and pulled her to sit down.


    "Well, I¡¯ll shamelessly sit with the class president," Jiang Siming said with a smile.


    Wang Biwen¡¯s eyes flashed with displeasure, but he quickly masked it. Not wanting to be left out, he immediately sat on Li Yingzi¡¯s other side.


    Li Yingzi was somewhat reluctant but didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, she kept turning her head toward Jiang Siming, chatting with him non-stop and completely ignoring Wang Biwen.

 Chapter 274: She Really Is My Assistant

    Wang Xue came over at this moment and took the empty seat on the other side of Jiang Siming. She straightened her back slightly, discreetly showcasing her impressive assets.


    Today, her outfit was quite revealing, with a large area of openness at the neckline. The resulting display of her cleavage made all the men in the class stare.


    Wang Xue enjoyed the attention, but when she noticed Jiang Siming completely ignoring her, she felt dissatisfied.


    "Class leader, you can¡¯t just chat with Jiang Siming and ignore everyone else. We¡¯re all waiting for you to order and lead the conversation," Wang Xue said, steering Li Yingzi away.


    Li Yingzi couldn¡¯t keep talking to Jiang Siming, so she called the waiter to start ordering food.


    Meanwhile, Wang Xue began whispering to Jiang Siming.


    "Jiang School Hunk, it¡¯s too noisy here. After the gathering, how about I treat you to coffee?" Wang Xue said softly, her eyes brimming with allure.


    "Sure, and maybe I can visit your house too?" Jiang Siming asked with a mischievous grin.


    Wang Xue playfully punched Jiang Siming and said, "What are you thinking? I¡¯m just inviting you for a cup of coffee."


    "Just coffee? Then I¡¯ll pass," Jiang Siming said, his expression changing instantly.


    "Why are you being so annoying now? My boyfriend is at home, though. But if you cheer me up, maybe I¡¯ll agree to go to a hotel for a chat afterward," Wang Xue said shyly.


    A chat at a hotel? What kind of chat could that be?


    Jiang Siming truly hadn¡¯t expected the former class beauty to turn into someone like this. Having a boyfriend yet still flirting around¡ªimpressive.


    However, Jiang Siming had no interest in her. Although she was quite pretty, compared to his girlfriends, the gap was enormous.


    After being surrounded by the beauty of his girlfriends, ordinary looks could no longer catch his eye.


    "Alright, we¡¯ll go after dinner," Jiang Siming agreed for now. As for whether he would actually go later, that was another story. If she wasn¡¯t "full," then she could settle for a serving of disappointment.


    Li Yingzi finished ordering food for everyone and finally came back to Jiang Siming to ask, "What would you like to eat?"


    "Just order me some fried rice," Jiang Siming said. He genuinely wanted fried rice. When he arrived earlier, he saw a street vendor selling fried rice that smelled delicious, but the line was too long, and he didn¡¯t want to wait.


    Li Yingzi nodded and added an order of fried rice to the waiter.


    The people around the table smirked mockingly. Wang Biwen teased half-jokingly, "Jiang School Hunk, ordering fried rice at such a fancy gathering is really embarrassing for the whole class, you know that?"


    Everyone quickly searched for Yinghuan Financial and found its basic information. On the first line, the legal representative was clearly listed as Jiang Siming:


    - **Company Director**: Jiang Siming


    - **Legal Representative**: Jiang Siming


    - **Company Manager**: Li Yingzi


    - **Company Address**: Shanghai Lujiazui Binhu Building 1801


    At this moment, everyone was at a loss for words, and their breathing became difficult.


    Jiang Siming... is the boss of Yinghuan? The genius of the Shanghai stock market who made over ten billion in just over a month? Li Yingzi is merely working for him?


    Damn!


    This news was like a deep-water bomb, leaving everyone shell-shocked.


    The men present became visibly uncomfortable, as if sitting on a hot iron plate.


    Discover stories with


    How could they stay calm? Thinking back to their sneers, taunts, and ridicule of Jiang Siming earlier that evening, they felt as though an invisible hand had slapped them across the face.


    It turned out Jiang Siming had been accommodating them only because he didn¡¯t care to compare himself with such small fry. Yet, they naively believed he was easy to bully.


    The women, on the other hand, felt fortunate. At least they had been captivated by Jiang Siming¡¯s looks and refrained from saying anything excessive. Otherwise, they¡¯d be just as uncomfortable as the men.


    Wang Xue¡¯s eyes sparkled as she looked at Jiang Siming like he was a diamond bachelor she had been searching for. If she could cling to Jiang Siming, why would she need her small-time rich second-generation boyfriend?


    "You men are so shallow. You¡¯ve always thought Jiang School Grass was easy to pick on. Back in school, he was always a top student, and now in society, he¡¯s miles ahead of you. The funny thing is, you¡¯re still so shameless," Wang Xue spoke up to defend Jiang Siming, while the men pretended not to hear and acted like invisible people.


    "You¡¯re really something," Jiang Siming muttered in a low voice, complaining to Li Yingzi.


    "I was just standing up for you. Did you really want them to keep mocking you?" Li Yingzi replied confidently.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t argue with her further. Quarreling with women wasn¡¯t his strong suit.

 Chapter 275: Brother-in-law? Younger Sister-in-law?

    Fortunately, at this moment, the waiter started serving the dishes, and the atmosphere in the private room eased a little.


    "Sir, here¡¯s your fried rice."


    "Thank you." Jiang Siming picked up a spoon and started eating, showing no interest in the lavish dishes on the table.


    This time, no one laughed. Watching Jiang Siming take big bites of his fried rice, they felt the dishes on the table suddenly lost their appeal, mainly because their mood had shifted.


    "Everyone, dig in. Don¡¯t just sit there," Li Yingzi urged the group to start eating and took the lead herself.


    "Chairman, I still haven¡¯t thanked you for the Jaguar you gave me. Cheers to you," Li Yingzi said with a smile, raising her glass to Jiang Siming.


    "Why so formal? It¡¯s just a meal," Jiang Siming reluctantly clinked glasses with her and then buried himself back in his food.


    The others heard this, and their chopsticks almost slipped from their hands in shock.


    "Yingzi... that Jaguar of yours... Jiang Siming gave it to you? It wasn¡¯t something you bought yourself?" Wang Biwen asked in disbelief.


    "How could I afford such an expensive car? Jiang gave it to me. Not just me¡ªevery manager and elite trader in our company got one." Li Yingzi replied.


    "All Jaguars?" other classmates stammered, barely able to form coherent sentences.


    "Not all Jaguars, but all above 500,000 yuan. He bought 10 or 20 of them, spending 17 million yuan in one go."


    Wow!@@@@


    The group collectively gasped, realizing he bought dozens of cars worth over 500,000 yuan just to give away?


    "Are you sure it¡¯s 500,000 yuan and not 50 yuan..."


    Seeing their skeptical expressions, Li Yingzi decisively took the car key from Jiang Siming¡¯s pocket, ignoring whether he agreed or not.


    "Huh? When did you get a new car?" Li Yingzi exclaimed in surprise. Everyone turned to look and swallowed hard¡ªoh my, a Lamborghini!


    "Now do you believe it?" Li Yingzi said smugly, as if she were showing off a perfect exam score from her school days.


    This time, they truly believed it. With the company records confirmed by the industrial and commercial bureau, there was no reason to doubt anymore.


    The lingering disbelief stemmed from how hard it was to accept that Jiang Siming had transformed from a nobody into someone as prominent as this¡ªlike a fish turning into a dragon.


    "Jiang... are you that world champion in *PUBG*?" asked a classmate who loved gaming and felt he had seen Jiang Siming online before.


    "Brother-in-law, you went out to have fun without inviting me. You don¡¯t care about me at all anymore! You weren¡¯t like this when you were pursuing me. Even though you ended up marrying my sister, I¡¯ve forgiven you. But how could you avoid me?"


    Her words shocked everyone in the room, including Jiang Siming.


    "What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s gotten into Qi Muxin?" Jiang Siming was dumbfounded.


    Just as he was about to say something, Li Yingzi tugged at his sleeve from the side.


    Meanwhile, Qi Muxin leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "Chairman, it was President Li who asked me to do this. Just go along with it, okay?"


    Her warm breath tickled his ear, and the faint scent of her perfume made Jiang Siming feel slightly uncomfortable.


    At this point, the men in the room were already green with envy. A gorgeous sister-in-law was one thing, but she seemed to have a secret relationship with her brother-in-law!


    God! Why couldn¡¯t such good fortune happen to them?


    Wang Xue, meanwhile, had never imagined that things would spiral so far beyond her expectations. She had thought Jiang Siming might at most have a girlfriend.


    She never expected that not only was he married, but his sister-in-law was also more attractive than her.


    Jealousy twisted Wang Xue¡¯s expression. She felt indignant and said to Qi Muxin, "Since he chose your sister, it¡¯s unethical for you to keep pestering your brother-in-law like this. Don¡¯t you know it¡¯s against moral principles, young lady?"


    "I know, but what does it have to do with you?" Qi Muxin wasn¡¯t as obedient as her sister. She had a fiery temper and wasn¡¯t afraid of anyone, let alone a stranger.


    "I¡¯m advising you for your own good. How can you be so rude?" Wang Xue snapped angrily.


    "This is our family¡¯s business, not yours. I can already see your ulterior motives for clinging so close to my brother-in-law. Dream on! No way! You¡¯re too ugly!" Qi Muxin retorted with a humph.


    Wang Xue¡¯s chest heaved with rage, her face turning red and pale by turns. No one had ever dared to call her ugly before. Worse, the one saying it was undeniably better-looking than her.


    "Stop fooling around," Jiang Siming scolded Qi Muxin lightly.


    Qi Muxin wasn¡¯t upset by his words. She made a funny face at Wang Xue and continued hugging Jiang Siming¡¯s neck while acting cute.


    At that moment, another graceful figure walked into the room. This woman looked identical to Qi Muxin, except for her attire and demeanor¡ªthey were like two peas in a pod.


    "Muxin, who let you sneak out?"


    Qi Muxin¡¯s sister, Qi Muxin, appeared on the scene. Despite her housewife-style outfit, she was still stunningly beautiful.

 Chapter 276: He Is Just a Prop

    Seeing Qi Muxin, Wang Xue instantly guessed her identity, and a vengeful desire surged within her.


    "Are you her sister?" Wang Xue asked Qi Muxin.


    "Yes," Qi Muxin nodded.


    Once Wang Xue received confirmation, she immediately sneered and revealed, "Your younger sister is quite bold, flirting with her brother-in-law in front of so many people. You, as her elder sister, probably had no idea, did you?"


    After speaking, Wang Xue felt a victorious sense of satisfaction, eagerly anticipating Qi Muxin¡¯s anger and a fight between the two sisters.


    "I knew."


    "You knew... What did you say?"


    Wang Xue couldn¡¯t believe her ears, thinking she must have misheard.


    Qi Muxin shyly smiled and quietly replied, "I said I knew. My younger sister has always liked my husband."


    Hearing this, Jiang Siming felt like a chaotic mess of thoughts was tangling in his head. What was this nonsense?


    "You know your sister is competing with you for a man?"


    "Yes, I know."


    "And you¡¯re not angry?"


    "She¡¯s my sister. Why should I be angry?"


    "But she¡¯s trying to steal your husband!"


    "It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll talk to her about it when we get home."


    "You¡¯re just going to talk to her?"


    Wang Xue could barely believe her ears. Was her hearing impaired from wearing earrings that were too heavy?


    "Isn¡¯t talking to her enough?" Qi Muxin smiled and countered.


    "What will you say to her?"


    "I¡¯ll tell her not to do it in public next time¡ªit¡¯s not a good look."


    "I..."


    Wang Xue felt like something sharp had stabbed her in the chest. She was utterly speechless.


    Qi Muxin ignored Wang Xue and instead apologized sincerely to Jiang Siming: "Husband, I¡¯m so sorry. My sister came over and interrupted your class reunion. I¡¯ll take her home now. Have fun, and if you¡¯re not coming home tonight, just send me a message so my sister and I won¡¯t worry about you."


    The married men present all felt like they¡¯d been hit by a truck. Someone else¡¯s wife was so understanding!


    Letting her husband go out and have fun, not even objecting to her gorgeous younger sister flirting with him...


    A Jaguar worth over a million yuan...


    Thinking of this, Da Jun was nearly in tears.


    Wang Biwen felt the same way. His purpose for attending this gathering was to get close to Li Yingzi and join Yinghuan Financial.


    But under the current circumstances, did he even have the face to speak up?


    Even if Li Yingzi agreed to help him, it wouldn¡¯t matter¡ªJiang Siming was the chairman. Without Jiang¡¯s approval, Li Yingzi had no power to agree.


    Amusingly, Wang Biwen was thick-skinned. A true man could bend and stretch.


    He raised his wine glass and stood up, sincerely addressing Jiang Siming:


    "President Jiang, I was muddle-headed earlier and was disrespectful to you. You are magnanimous, and I hope you won¡¯t hold it against me."


    Wang Biwen assumed Jiang Siming was a reasonable person. Given how friendly he had been earlier, he probably wasn¡¯t someone who bore grudges, right?


    It was just an apology. If apologizing could solve his future prospects, he¡¯d even kneel to apologize if needed.


    But the expected response didn¡¯t come. Instead, all he heard was the sound of Jiang Siming eating his meal.


    "I¡¯m done eating!" Jiang Siming quickly finished his fried rice, stood up, and addressed everyone:


    "This gathering has been very ¡¯enjoyable.¡¯ It¡¯s been great seeing so many of my old high school classmates again, especially you guys. It¡¯s been ¡¯such a pleasure.¡¯ Anyway, I have things to handle at the company, so I won¡¯t stay longer. This meal is on me."


    As he spoke, Jiang Siming called a waiter over and instructed them to bring a case of red wine, a parting gift for everyone.


    When the wine arrived, Jiang Siming poured himself a glass, raised it, and said with a smile:


    "I¡¯ve said everything I needed to. It¡¯s time for me to go. Here¡¯s my final toast to all of you."


    Everyone quickly stood up, afraid of being a second too late.


    The previously mocking expressions transformed into smiles of flattery.


    Jiang Siming clinked glasses with them and downed the wine in one go.


    It wasn¡¯t just a toast of wine but also a farewell to the bonds of his past classmates.


    To him, those bonds had long since soured.


    He had said it before¡ªhe would attend the reunion, but it would be the first and last time.


    "I¡¯m leaving," Jiang Siming said as he turned to go.


    He didn¡¯t say goodbye, only a simple "I¡¯m leaving."


    "I¡¯m done eating too, and I¡¯m not feeling well. I¡¯ll take my leave. Class monitor, I¡¯ll leave the rest to you. Eat at ease¡ªPresident Jiang has already paid the bill."


    Li Yingzi didn¡¯t want to stay any longer either. She left the scene to Wang Biwen and followed Jiang Siming out of the restaurant.

 Chapter 277: Farewell to the World of Jianghu

    The crowd, unwilling to give up, rushed to the balcony and saw with their own eyes that Jiang Siming left in a Lamborghini sports car, while Li Yingzi drove away in her Jaguar.


    There was no more room for doubt; everything that happened was their own doing.


    It wasn¡¯t entirely about their actions; it was their corrupted mindset that led to this.


    Back in the private room, not long after, the class group chat received two notifications: both Li Yingzi and Jiang Siming had left the group.


    Li Yingzi even removed them from her friends list¡ªfarewell to the world of Jianghu.


    Seeing this, the classmates finally realized the value of genuine friendship, which they had failed to cherish.


    Instead, they had chased materialism, engaged in comparisons, and mocked others, losing the pure essence of their relationships.


    Everything was their own fault.


    The vibrant days of their student years were gone forever.


    In truth, Jiang Siming and Li Yingzi felt a sense of sorrow as well. They were disheartened, wondering why their high school life hadn¡¯t brought them better classmates.


    The once-cherished bonds of their school days had now ended in disappointment.@@@@


    ...


    The next day, Li Yingzi departed on a company team-building trip to Thailand, carefree and unburdened.


    Jiang Siming, however, did not go; tomorrow was the final match of the group stage, and he didn¡¯t want to miss it.


    After the group stage, there would be a one- to two-week wait before the knockout rounds began, during which Jiang Siming would go back to grinding games all day to collect two or three fragments a day.


    Just thinking about it felt like a nightmare.


    Although there was no match today, Jiang Siming still had to livestream.


    In the past two days of group stage matches, his livestreams had been focused on game broadcasts, but his fans weren¡¯t all just gamers.


    While the gaming fans were thoroughly entertained, Jiang Siming also had to consider the preferences of his other fan groups.


    Within just ten minutes of starting his stream, Jiang Siming¡¯s livestream had already surpassed ten million viewers!


    This was his first official stream after becoming the top streamer on Douyu.


    Homepage promotions, trending news, and his growing fame¡ªall combined to push his popularity to new heights.


    The viewership peaked at over 15 million, setting a new record in the livestreaming world.


    This was a record-breaking achievement, marking the highest concurrent viewer count in the history of livestreaming. It also signified the market¡¯s saturation. r?No?¦Â§¦?S


    Jiang Siming grinned proudly and said, "Of course, I don¡¯t have many strengths, but my greatest one is being considerate."


    "Alright then, today marks my first official live stream after winning the Douyu Fans Festival. To show my sincerity, let¡¯s start with *Zou Ma* to warm up."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Siming, wearing oversized slippers, got up and fetched his guitar.


    "The rain outside has stopped; the light in the room is still off. Counting your indifference, playing with my loneliness..."


    Jiang Siming¡¯s singing began. The familiar lyrics compelled countless viewers to sing along.


    The songs Jiang Siming performed during his live streams were always highly popular. Some were exceptionally beautiful but less well-known, like Chen Li¡¯s *Flammable and Explosive*.


    This song is mesmerizing but relatively obscure.


    Others, however, were widely popular yet lacked quality, like the viral *Yali Da*¡ªeasy to hum but often criticized for its low artistic value.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s songs, in contrast, were both catchy and high-quality. Even a simple song like *Zou Ma*, with straightforward lyrics and melody, resonated across generations.


    "After a long time, I finally look up, and you¡¯re waiting on the other side. Will you wait for me, as I struggle between dreams and reality..."


    Especially during the chorus, the comment section quieted significantly as viewers focused on singing along.


    While it wasn¡¯t obvious in a live stream, if Jiang Siming were to host a concert one day, the experience would surely rival that of any renowned singer.


    Following *Zou Ma*, he performed *One Person¡¯s Paris*, *Lu Zhou Moon*, *Why Not*, *Nemesis*, *Queen*, and *Little Love Song*.


    One by one, Jiang Siming sang these songs, leaving his music fans thoroughly satisfied. Yet, they eagerly anticipated whether he would release a new song.


    This was Jiang Siming¡¯s signature move. Although rare, when it happened, fans wouldn¡¯t experience a "song drought" for weeks.


    For avid listeners, avoiding a song drought was as important as avoiding a "book drought" for readers. Only those who experienced it could understand the agony.


    Over the past month, the severity of song droughts had diminished significantly, all thanks to Jiang Siming consistently injecting fresh blood into the Chinese music scene.


    Within just one month, he had released six or seven songs¡ªa pace rivaled only by top-tier artists producing works of comparable quality.


    However, whether there would be a new song today was still uncertain.


    Fortunately, after finishing his last written song, Jiang Siming effortlessly raised everyone¡¯s excitement to a peak with just a few words:


    "Next, let¡¯s move on to our routine segment¡ªa new song!"


    Wow~~~


    Though viewers couldn¡¯t shout in person, their ecstatic reactions filled the comment section, radiating pure joy!

 Chapter 278: Old Boy

    To sing a new song, Jiang Siming was not as cheerful as before. He stared blankly at the camera and remained silent for a while before speaking.


    "Yesterday, I attended a high school reunion. To be honest, it was quite disappointing."


    Jiang Siming¡¯s words piqued everyone¡¯s curiosity.@@@@


    "Those old classmates have changed. They¡¯re now pretentious, competitive, and have ulterior motives. The friendships have deteriorated, and there¡¯s no going back."


    These words resonated deeply with many viewers.


    "I can totally relate. Last year, I attended my college reunion. During the meal, everyone was bragging about their achievements, the projects they were involved in, and the cars they bought. Sigh."


    "A couple of years ago, I went to a middle school reunion. Because I wasn¡¯t doing well, they kept mocking me. When it came time to pay the bill, everyone just sat there. In the end, I paid it as a farewell gift for them."


    "There was a girl I liked in high school¡ªshe was so pure and beautiful. After ten years, when I saw her again, she was smoking and hanging out with a group of thugs."


    "I¡¯m still in school, so I can¡¯t quite understand Jiang Siming¡¯s feelings, but if things really turn out like this in the future, it would be so disheartening."


    ...


    Jiang Siming sighed and earnestly said to everyone:


    "If you¡¯re still in your youth, please cherish those days. And remember your original self because, in the blink of an eye, you might never be able to go back."


    At this point, Jiang Siming smiled wistfully and said with emotion:


    "Last night, I even had a dream. I dreamed that I woke up at my old school desk, laughing with my classmates and saying, ¡¯I had such a long, long dream...¡¯"


    Hearing this, many viewers felt a sudden surge of emotion.


    Yes, that dream¡ªmany who have left school have had it.


    Jiang Siming composed himself and smiled at everyone:


    "Let¡¯s sing. This new song is called ¡¯Old Boy,¡¯ a tribute to the past and the dreams of our youth."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Siming¡¯s slender fingers began to pluck the guitar strings. A soft guitar melody flowed out, gentle and distant, as if from another lifetime.


    "That was the person I deeply missed and loved day and night.


    How should I express myself?


    Would she accept me?


    Perhaps I¡¯ll never tell her those words,


    Destined to wander the world,


    How could I bear any attachments?"


    As the song began, the audience¡¯s emotions started to be "eroded." A strong sense of nostalgia swept through countless hearts.


    This verse perfectly captured the regrets of youthful innocence¡ªhow many people liked someone in their youth but never dared to confess?


    Withering at their most beautiful moment


    Who will remember that they were ever here in this world?


    ..."


    And that was it¡ªtears flowed freely.


    This verse not only brought young people to tears but also deeply moved many viewers from the 70s and 80s generations, who could no longer control their supposedly numb emotions.


    Youth is like a handful of flowing sand, slipping away unnoticed, leaving no time for goodbyes.


    What disappears is not just the details slipping through your fingers but also countless memories.


    The dreams of those days, the brothers who fought together, and the girl you secretly loved¡ªall seem to drift away with the years, vanishing beyond the horizon.


    But in the deepest part of the heart, these memories leave a lasting imprint, touching the most fragile nerves.


    Even married viewers with grown children couldn¡¯t help but reach for tissues on their desks or bedside tables to wipe away their flowing tears.


    The pure era is gone. Reality is cruel. People are no longer as warm as before; indifference has become the default expression of the city.


    Even old friends may exploit past friendships for personal gain or self-interest. It¡¯s not betrayal¡ªthey¡¯ve just lost themselves.


    The tone slowed down again, transitioning into the second verse. Your next journey awaits at


    "In the blink of an eye, years pass by¡ªhow many joys and sorrows?


    Once, as a young man with grand ambitions, I envied the geese flying south


    Each heading their separate ways, silhouettes fading into the distance


    Where is the future? Who will give me an answer?


    ..."


    Jiang Siming¡¯s voice alternated between roaring and quiet sorrow, showcasing a subtle brilliance in technique that gave everyone a new appreciation for his singing skills.


    Coincidentally, JJ Lin was watching Jiang Siming¡¯s livestream today. By the time he heard this verse, his emotions had been swept away by the song.


    Originally planning to play a few rounds of *Overwatch*, he silently closed the game and focused intently on the music streaming from Jiang Siming¡¯s broadcast.


    "This guy is really something. He¡¯s incredible," JJ Lin praised in his Taiwanese accent.


    The friend sitting next to him, who had been about to play games as well, nodded and added, "The speed at which this guy releases songs is insane. And he¡¯s not even a professional singer, just an amateur hobbyist."


    "Just wait. This song is going to explode in popularity. Its relatability and emotional impact are off the charts¡ªprobably only my old classics could compete with it," JJ Lin said confidently.


    "Really? That exaggerated?" His friend was skeptical.


    "I really want to collaborate with him on a song," JJ Lin said earnestly.

 Chapter 279: Moved to Tears of the ’70s and ’80s Generation

    "Where are the people who accompanied me back then? The ones I once loved, what do they look like now? Were the dreams of the past fulfilled? Or are they only fit for commemoration now? Let time dry everything up, yet I can no longer find my true self..."


    The song continued, and everyone hoped it would never end, as their tears hadn¡¯t stopped flowing.


    Once, in our pride, we all carried lofty ideals, rushing through unfamiliar cities just to chase the truest dreams deep in our hearts.


    Once, no matter how hard life was, we believed that as long as we worked hard, success was within reach.


    Once, we naively thought that even a tiny room could nurture the most beautiful love.


    But now? Where have the companions gone? Where have the loved ones gone? And where have the dreams of the past gone?


    Now, the fast pace of society leaves us no time to reflect on our inner selves. Gradually, to survive in this harsh world, we¡¯ve grown a thick shell over our hearts.


    Slowly, we¡¯ve lost the ability to cry, as fewer things can break through that shell and truly touch us.


    We can still remember secretly shedding tears while watching *Titanic* in school, not daring to let classmates notice. We also remember the resolute determination to join the military after being stirred by stories of flood relief efforts.


    "Looking up at the vast galaxy, the stars that once accompanied me¡ªdo you still remember the stories from here? Life, like an unfeeling carving knife, has changed our appearance. Must we wither before we bloom? I once had dreams..."


    In the final chorus, Jiang Siming sang with extraordinary passion. The veins on his neck stood out, imbuing the song with powerful emotional resonance and a call to action that gripped everyone.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s song didn¡¯t just hurt; it struck deep, like a sharp file carving into everyone¡¯s heart.


    When careers remain lackluster and love becomes elusive, can we still say we¡¯re unafraid of failure in youth?


    One day, we¡¯ll realize that we¡¯ve long since grown old.


    Many like to say, "I¡¯m getting old," even at just twenty or thirty. Because what ages is not the body, but the heart.


    We¡¯re no longer reckless, no longer carefree, no longer open-hearted, no longer smiling.


    Instead, we carry the weight of life¡¯s pressures, the fear of marriage, the disappointment in the future, and the hesitation in the face of difficulties.


    Now, "Old Boy" was like that fire, keeping countless people awake at night, tossing and turning.


    Meanwhile, numerous Jiang Siming fan groups began emerging online, growing in size and influence.


    It¡¯s not common for just one or two good songs to achieve this level of impact. Yet Jiang Siming had delivered masterpiece after masterpiece, creating wave after wave of explosive impact in the calm waters of the Chinese music scene.


    More and more people were becoming his fans, and the music industry was starting to pay serious attention to this rising musical genius. Even interview programs began to express strong interest in him.


    After finishing his cigarette on the rooftop, Jiang Siming returned feeling relaxed and carefree. However, while he was at ease, his audience remained immersed in the sadness evoked by the song.


    Even after listening several times, this song wasn¡¯t something one could become numb to after just a few repeats. Its emotional power was enough to move people to tears even after years of revisiting it.


    Fearing that everyone might grow despondent, Jiang Siming initially wanted to stop the playback. But a flood of audience protests and petitions stopped him.


    With no choice, Jiang Siming let the song play on. He didn¡¯t speak further, quietly picking up his phone to play *Honor of Kings*.


    The next morning, Jiang Siming went to the recording studio to professionally record the entire song. It was immediately uploaded to major music platforms, and download counts skyrocketed like a rocket launch.


    However, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t have the time to focus on these developments. At that moment, he was driving his Bugatti to Hongqiao Railway Station to pick up Tuantuan.


    Tuantuan had finally convinced her family to let her move from her hometown in Hunan to work in Shanghai.


    Ever since she fell in love with Jiang Siming, the thought of working in Shanghai had lingered strongly in her mind. Unfortunately, her parents, worried about her safety, had refused to agree.


    Tuantuan waited and waited, almost wilting like a flower, and nearly falling ill with longing before her parents finally relented.


    Their agreement came only because she would be accompanied by her close friend, which barely reassured them.


    Once given the green light, Tuantuan was overjoyed, packed her bags immediately, and rushed to Shanghai.


    Her father and mother were quite unhappy, scolding her for being ungrateful and eager to leave.


    In response, Tuantuan sweetly reassured them of her love, though her actions betrayed her words as she swiftly boarded the high-speed train.

 Chapter 280: Song Dominates the Charts

    Tuantuan was coming to Shanghai, so Jiang Siming naturally had to pick her up, and Dumb Little Sister also came along.


    Now the two girls were as close as real sisters. They streamed games together every day and, without Jiang Siming¡¯s guidance, often got slaughtered in the game, screaming pitifully at each other.


    Long-time viewers of their streams found their hearing deteriorating from all the screaming.


    When Jiang Siming arrived, Dumb Little Sister was already waiting in the parking lot.


    "Wow, Brother Ming, this car is perfect! Tuantuan said she brought a lot of luggage and didn¡¯t know how to transport it all. My car is too small and probably can¡¯t fit everything."


    Dumb Little Sister ran up to Jiang Siming¡¯s car, not to check out the car itself but to see the person inside.


    The sun was blazing today, so Jiang Siming wore sunglasses when he went out. These sunglasses, a gift from the golden fragments, were said to be from the LOTOS brand, known as the Lamborghini of eyewear.


    With his sunglasses and this luxury car, Jiang Siming looked incredibly cool, making Dumb Little Sister¡¯s eyes sparkle with admiration.


    "Tuantuan won¡¯t arrive for another two hours. Hop in and wait. Standing upstairs will be tiring," Jiang Siming said.


    "Okay~" Dumb Little Sister obediently opened the door and got in.


    It was almost the end of May, and summer had come quickly this year. It was already scorching hot even in May.


    Fortunately, Jiang Siming no longer had to worry about cooling down. Back when he had no money, his rental apartment had no air conditioning, only a fan.


    During summer, the fan was almost useless, and he couldn¡¯t sleep because of the heat. He often had to go to the seafood market to ask for a big block of ice to cool down enough for a good night¡¯s sleep.


    As for air conditioning, he didn¡¯t even dare to think about it back then.


    Now, things were different. Forget air conditioning¡ªhe could even travel abroad to escape the heat if he wanted.


    The cool air and comfortable seats in the car made Dumb Little Sister marvel at the stark contrast between luxury cars and regular ones.


    Enjoying herself, Dumb Little Sister adjusted the seat back and reclined comfortably, humming in contentment.


    Jiang Siming took out a bunch of chilled grapes from the car¡¯s fridge and adjusted the windshield to block the sun. The two of them sat in the cool, shaded car, enjoying the air conditioning and chilled grapes.


    Jiang Siming wanted to do something mischievous, but recent crackdowns made him think twice. He decided to just relax with the AC and grapes.


    "Brother Ming, look! Your song *Old Boy* has already surpassed 1 million downloads on QQ Music! It also has over 800,000 on NetEase Cloud Music. You only uploaded it this morning, and it¡¯s been less than three hours! Oh my god," Dumb Little Sister exclaimed, handing her phone to Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming glanced at it and saw the rankings.


    [QQ Music New Song Popularity Chart (May)]


    **No. 1: *Little Love Song***

    **No. 2: *Nemesis***


    Singer: Jiang Siming


    Composer: Jiang Siming


    Lyricist: Jiang Siming


    Downloads: 2,814,567


    Jiang Siming¡¯s songs dominated the top ten on the monthly chart, each with millions of downloads.


    If *Lu Zhou Moon*, *Gallop*, and *A Lonely Paris* hadn¡¯t been released last month, he could have taken over the entire chart.


    In April¡¯s new song chart, those three songs also ranked in the top three, showcasing Jiang Siming¡¯s incredible dominance.


    The momentum of "Old Boy" might very well push it to the top of this month¡¯s charts!


    In less than three hours, it already has over a million downloads, and the number of comments is astonishing, even surpassing the current number one.


    This shows how many listeners were touched by the song, enough to take the time to write a comment.


    Usually, works that inspire people to leave comments, whether it¡¯s a song or a novel, fall into two extremes:


    Either the work is excellent, prompting people to write comments of praise,


    Or the work is terrible, provoking people to write scathing criticisms.


    Clearly, "Old Boy" falls into the former category, as does "Picking Up Fragments"¡ªcough, cough...


    Jiang Siming hadn¡¯t realized that casually singing a few songs could make them this popular.


    No wonder the number of music fan comments in his livestreams has been increasing lately, almost catching up with the gaming fans.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s livestreams are very entertaining, with hardly any trolls in the chat, but there¡¯s often heated arguing.


    Interestingly, it¡¯s Jiang Siming¡¯s own fans arguing among themselves, representing different factions.


    The factions can roughly be divided into the "Looks Fans," "Music Fans," "Gaming Fans," and "Voice Actor Fans."


    Watching Jiang Siming¡¯s livestream feels like witnessing a faction war, leaving viewers both amused and exasperated.


    The two stayed in the car until it was nearly time for Tuantuan¡¯s train to arrive.


    After stepping out and waiting at the station exit for a short while, they spotted Tuantuan and another girl struggling to carry a large pile of luggage toward the exit. ?a???E?S


    The moment Tuantuan saw Jiang Siming, her beautiful eyes lit up like stars. She threw her luggage aside and ran straight toward him.


    With a leap, she landed in Jiang Siming¡¯s arms.


    Jiang Siming smiled wryly. Why do all his girlfriends like to do this? Tossing their luggage and jumping at him. The last one who mastered this skill was Lin Yoona.


    Luckily, his body was strong. Otherwise, an average guy might end up in an embarrassing situation.


    "Brother Ming, I missed you so much~" Tuantuan said, hugging Jiang Siming tightly with a pitiful tone.


    Unlike Dumb Little Sister, who lived in Shanghai and could meet him whenever she wanted, Tuantuan was far away in Hunan.


    She could only talk to Jiang Siming through WeChat or in-game.


    Ever since she and Dumb Little Sister offered themselves to him, Tuantuan had been thinking about Jiang Siming all the time. Lately, she didn¡¯t even feel like drinking her favorite milk tea anymore.


    Jiang Siming gently patted Tuantuan¡¯s head and smiled. "It¡¯s fine. Now that you¡¯re in Shanghai, meeting me will just take a moment. You can even move into my house."


    "No way! I¡¯m staying with Dumb Dumb. We¡¯ll be streaming together for better results, hehe," Tuantuan rejected what was, to her, an incredibly tempting offer.


    "You both can come over! Living together would be even better. Or have you forgotten about that night?" Jiang Siming teased with a mischievous grin.


    The two women¡¯s faces instantly turned red as they angrily threw their fists at Jiang Siming in mock outrage.


    Tuantuan¡¯s friend, witnessing this scene, was utterly shocked. She had heard about this before but never believed it.


    Now seeing it with her own eyes, she finally understood. Some men are truly different from ordinary ones. He could actually get two women to willingly become his girlfriends. This is just too amazing!

 Chapter 281: Tuantuan Coming to Shanghai

    After some commotion, the four of them decided to leave. However, the large amount of luggage was a headache. Each of the two girls had not only a huge suitcase but also a large box to carry.

    "Wow, this suitcase is so heavy," Dumb Little Sister tried lifting it and almost dislocated her shoulder.


    Tuantuan chuckled and said, "I didn¡¯t want to bring so much either. My mom packed all the luggage, from summer to winter clothes and sweaters, along with a lot of daily necessities."


    "This suitcase is almost 100 pounds. When we brought it over, my dad and uncle had to carry it together onto the train. Getting it off was only possible thanks to the train staff helping us push it out."


    "And what¡¯s in this big box?"


    "It¡¯s filled with cured meat, sausages, and some local specialties from my hometown. I brought it for you and Xiao Ming. I¡¯ll cook a meal for you later so you can try some of our spicy Funan dishes," Tuantuan said with a smile.


    "Great! I¡¯m really looking forward to it!" Dumb Little Sister, a native of Shaanxi known for their spicy cuisine, was delighted.


    "Alright, just leave all the suitcases to me."


    Jiang Siming stepped forward and, without waiting for a response, took both Tuantuan¡¯s and her friend¡¯s suitcases. Then, with one in each hand, he easily lifted the oversized luggage.


    The three women were dumbfounded, their eyes wide with amazement at Jiang Siming¡¯s impressive strength.


    "Tuantuan, are you sure these suitcases weigh over 100 pounds?"


    "I¡¯m positive. My dad and uncle had to carry them together, and my friend¡¯s suitcase is even heavier. It took three grown men from her family to load it," Tuantuan confirmed.


    "Brother Ming is just incredibly strong..."


    Admiring Jiang Siming¡¯s overwhelming strength, the three women followed him, carrying their own smaller boxes.


    Fortunately, they had brought the Barbot, which had ample space to easily accommodate all the luggage. Tuantuan rode in Jiang Siming¡¯s car, while her friend sensibly went to sit in Dumb Little Sister¡¯s car.


    As the car started, Tuantuan was visibly excited, chattering non-stop with Jiang Siming.


    Having rarely left her home before, this was Tuantuan¡¯s first time venturing far from her family to work. Even for university, she had stayed close to home.


    She had grown up under strict parental supervision. Although her life was comfortable, her longing for freedom was something few could understand.


    It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t like her family or enjoy living with them. Rather, she craved the ability to fully control her own time and live independently.


    Jiang Siming could relate. Before going to college, he had also spent all his time at home. When he first started university, he was just as thrilled, staying up all night in excitement.


    "Brother Xiao Ming, will you... stay at Dumb Dumb¡¯s house tonight?" After her excitement subsided, Tuantuan reverted to her soft, coquettish demeanor.


    Tuantuan¡¯s mouth opened so wide it could fit a light bulb.


    When she relayed the message to Xinxin, screams of excitement erupted on the other end, loud enough to shake dust from her earphone speakers.


    "Is Yinghuan Financial really yours, Ming-ge? But I heard they¡¯re fully staffed and only hire elites now!"


    Since Xinxin was in the financial field, she was naturally very interested in such news¡ªlike a PUBG player finding out their friend knows Jiang Siming.


    "Whether we¡¯re fully staffed is up to me. It¡¯s just a matter of a word. As long as you¡¯re willing to work hard, you¡¯re welcome to stay," Jiang Siming said casually.


    Xinxin was ecstatic, screaming in delight at the sudden and unexpected opportunity, something she had always dreamed of.


    "But my company is currently on break; everyone¡¯s in Thailand for a vacation. You¡¯ll need to wait a few days¡ªabout five¡ªbefore you can come. In the meantime, you can get familiar with Shanghai," Jiang Siming added.


    "Got it, Chairman! I¡¯ll work hard!" Xinxin quickly adapted, already addressing him as "Chairman."


    Before long, everyone arrived at Dainty Sister¡¯s new villa. The luxurious new home left Tuantuan and Xinxin thrilled.


    Although Tuantuan earned a lot through live streaming and Douyin, making her a bona fide "little rich lady" with more money than Dainty Sister, she had always streamed from home. Most of her income went to her family.


    Now that she had moved out into a villa, the two girls felt like country bumpkins visiting a grand estate, admiring everything around them with delight.


    "Oh no, it¡¯s almost mealtime! Xinxin and I need to cook." Tuantuan glanced at the time and rushed to the kitchen, carrying the two large boxes she had brought.


    Before long, seven traditional Hunan dishes were served: steamed fish head with chopped chili, steamed cured meats, spicy chicken, Mao-style braised pork, and even snake meat in a spicy sauce.


    The aroma was incredible, but there was one problem¡ªthey were all spicy.


    Unfortunately, Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t great at handling spicy food.


    Back when he was at home, he could manage some heat. But after staying in Shanghai, where the cuisine wasn¡¯t very spicy, his tolerance had significantly dropped. Looking at the dishes, Jiang Siming felt a little apprehensive.


    His dantian energy could dispel alcohol, but could it handle spiciness?


    "Xiao Ming-ge, can you not eat spicy food? Should I cook a couple of non-spicy dishes for you?" Tuantuan asked, standing up.


    Jiang Siming pulled her back and said, "No need. I can handle spicy food. It¡¯s no big deal."


    "Really?"


    "Of course."


    An hour later, Jiang Siming was squatting in the bathroom, his face twisted in pain, as he summoned the "Chrysanthemum Monster" to unleash a fiery jet.

 Chapter 282: Jumping to P City at Just 17

    At Dumb Little Sister¡¯s home, after enjoying a meal of Hunan specialty dishes, Jiang Siming accompanied the four girls in the afternoon to Xujiahui to purchase live-streaming equipment for Tuantuan. Experience more content on


    In the evening, Jiang Siming finally arrived at the familiar esports arena.


    Today was the last match of the group stage.


    Although 4AM had already secured their spot for advancement, even if they scored zero points in this round, they would easily advance.


    However, Jiang Siming still actively participated, which made Wei Shen and the others feel gratified. Old Jiang still cared about them and wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with them in battle¡ªit was touching.


    Of course, if Wei Shen and the others knew the real reason Jiang Siming participated, they might have had different feelings.


    "After today¡¯s match, the elimination rounds won¡¯t start for another half month. Once the elimination rounds are over and the finals are finished, we¡¯ll be heading abroad for another tournament. This time the World Championship is in Korea¡ªOld Jiang, that¡¯s your motherland," Wei Shen joked with Jiang Siming.


    "Brother Jiang speaks Korean fluently. We won¡¯t even need a translator when we go to Korea," Xiao Xingmu said with a laugh.


    Wei Shen retorted, "We still need one because you never know when Old Jiang might sneak off to meet Yoona. Then it¡¯ll be just us men sitting around in the hotel doing nothing."


    "True, true. We definitely need a translator," Xiao Xingmu quickly changed his stance, finding the reasoning convincing.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t bother with their teasing. He was in a great mood, thinking that with so many tournaments to play, his shards would continue to accumulate, and the treasures he gained would grow more abundant.


    "Dear viewers, welcome to the final round of the PCL group stage. Today, Groups A and B will determine their top six teams to advance to the elimination stage," the three casters on stage began their enthusiastic opening.


    It seemed Qianyi had gone home today and wasn¡¯t present. In her place was another commentator, Feng Zhen, who was also a beauty.


    "This match, aside from 4AM, which has already secured advancement, the scores of the other teams in the top six are very close. Even lower-ranked teams still have a chance to make a comeback and advance if they perform well this round," male commentator Zhou Yi said.


    "Indeed, 4AM¡¯s group stage points are unbeatable. Qianyi isn¡¯t here this time, so there¡¯s one less Jiang Siming fan. Feng Zhen, are you a fan of Jiang Siming?" Xiao Xiong teasingly asked Feng Zhen.


    Without hesitation, Feng Zhen replied, "Of course, I¡¯m a devoted Jiang Siming fan!"


    And who could this team be? Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even need a hacking tool to figure it out¡ªit had to be Team 17. Team 17¡¯s habit of always landing in Pochinki on Erangel was practically their tradition.


    Although they were an allied team, Jiang Siming had no intention of leaving. After all, Team 17¡¯s score was already high. Even if they got wiped out right after landing, they would still remain in the top six, likely dropping only to fifth or sixth place. Their current rank was third, and the chances of them falling out of the top six were almost nonexistent.


    As Jiang Siming deployed his parachute alongside them, 17shou immediately guessed that it must be him.


    "This guy Jiang Siming isn¡¯t giving us any breathing room. He¡¯s chased us all the way to Pochinki," 17shou remarked with a bitter smile.


    "Should we leave? No point fighting this monster; we¡¯ll definitely lose," Da Jing said, already admitting defeat before the fight even began.


    It was understandable. When faced with a super player who always emerged victorious, you¡¯d naturally want to avoid provoking him. Many teams had already fallen prey to Jiang Siming¡ªTeam 17 didn¡¯t want to be the next.


    "Leave? No way. This is our home base. Retreating now would be humiliating. We have to defend the pride of being the kings of Pochinki! Besides, even if we lose this round, we¡¯re almost guaranteed to stay in the top six. Let¡¯s fight with confidence! We know Pochinki better than anyone. This time, we¡¯ll use the terrain to our advantage and take him down!" 17shou declared with determination.


    Team 17 had played countless matches in Pochinki and knew the city like the back of their hands. They believed that, with four players, they might actually stand a chance against Jiang Siming.


    Upon landing, Jiang Siming chose the high ground of the church on the edge of Pochinki. He was well aware that Team 17 excelled in urban combat. If he failed to pick up a weapon and got pinned down by their positioning, he¡¯d have no way out.


    The best strategy was to gear up at the outskirts and try to eliminate one or two of them first.


    This was the final match of the group stage, and Jiang Siming didn¡¯t want to stumble here¡ªhe was still aiming to collect more shards.


    Landing precisely on the church rooftop, Jiang Siming activated his equipment-sensing skill and immediately knew the exact locations of all the gear in the church: a level 1 vest, a level 1 helmet, and a newly introduced submachine gun¡ªthe Bizon!


    The Bizon was an impressive weapon with 53 rounds per magazine, making it a powerhouse. Many players disliked it, thinking its damage was too low. But it was a hidden gem among SMGs¡ªhuge ammo capacity, virtually no recoil, faster fire rate than the UMP9, and on par with the Thompson in terms of rate of fire. Plus, its damage was respectable at 35 per shot.


    Jiang Siming was particularly satisfied with its large magazine capacity.


    Since there was no sniper rifle available, Jiang Siming gave up on the idea of sniping from a distance. Instead, he boldly descended from the church and dashed into the city, gun in hand.

 Chapter 283: Blood for Blood

    The 17 squad in the city couldn¡¯t match Jiang Siming¡¯s speed in looting. By the time Jiang Siming entered the city, they had just started aiming their guns, but Jiang Siming had already disappeared from the church.


    However, they assumed Jiang Siming was still inside looting, so 17shou instructed Monkey and Ma Niu Niu to cover key positions while he and Da Jing focused on gathering useful supplies. This way, they could either use their equipment advantage against Jiang Siming or have enough gear and medical supplies to escape the zone if they couldn¡¯t locate him.


    "This guy seems to be stuck in the church and hasn¡¯t come out. We haven¡¯t even caught a glimpse of him. Could he have run away without finding a weapon?" Ma Niu Niu asked doubtfully.


    Discover more content at


    "That¡¯s unlikely. Ming Shen wouldn¡¯t easily let go of a kill. Even in casual games, he fights for kills with me, let alone in a competition," 17shou replied, having some understanding of Jiang Siming¡¯s tendencies.


    "Could he have already slipped into our part of the city?" Monkey felt a chill run down his spine.


    "That¡¯s very possible. Everyone, stay alert. Monkey, cover the city. Lao Ma, keep an eye on the church. Report any movement immediately," 17shou ordered, feeling an unsettling sense of danger, as if a sharp sword was hanging over their heads.


    "Wait, I think I heard something!" Ma Niu Niu suddenly alerted the team, sensing something off.


    "Quick, go help him! He¡¯s definitely coming in," 17shou directed while moving toward Ma Niu Niu¡¯s location with his gun ready. Leaving Ma Niu Niu to face Jiang Siming alone would only lead to his defeat.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t actually know Ma Niu Niu was there, but as he passed by a three-story building, he heard faint footsteps from across the street. Normally, the opposing team wouldn¡¯t hear his footsteps from that distance unless someone nearby was reporting his position.


    Realizing that the enemy was redirecting their aim, Jiang Siming decided not to take any risks. Unsure of how many players were nearby, he chose to retreat to avoid being surrounded.


    The distinct muffled sound of the Bizon echoed, like torpedoes detonating underwater or thunder rumbling in a summer storm. Although quieter than most weapons, the sound carried immense power.


    The Bizon¡¯s 9mm bullets might be the weakest in PUBG, but they were deadly when aimed at the head. Monkey¡¯s helmet shattered under the barrage, and he collapsed instantly. ??¦­o??BE?s?


    Jiang Siming saw the body blocking the staircase, fired another burst of bullets to finish him off, and kept moving. By this time, the person downstairs was already nearing the second floor. Without stopping, Jiang Siming rushed further upstairs.


    Ma Niuniu had already positioned his gun, and as Jiang Siming came up, he was hit twice. Jiang Siming¡¯s health dropped to a sliver, and his pitiful level-one armor was already shattered to pieces.


    Fortunately, Ma Niuniu¡¯s gun was a UMP9, which also uses 9mm bullets. If it had been an AK, just two bullets would have been enough to kill him. Jiang Siming relied on this blood-for-blood strategy, using the fastest possible method to eliminate the two opponents.


    If the people downstairs hadn¡¯t been so close, Jiang Siming could have used flanking tactics to toy with them. However, the alarm bells downstairs were ringing incessantly in his ears, forcing him to adopt this reckless "Seven Injuries Fist" strategy, where he dealt a thousand wounds to the enemy at the cost of eight hundred to himself.


    Even with such a brute-force approach, Jiang Siming had nothing to fear. Confident in his ability to trade damage and kill the two, he followed through¡ªand succeeded.


    Ma Niuniu also fell. Jiang Siming even took the time to finish him off to prevent him from relaying any information. After Ma Niuniu¡¯s death, a red shard glimmered in his loot box. Without even looking at it, Jiang Siming scooped it up and dashed to the rooftop.


    Just as 17shou and Dajing were closing in, Jiang Siming reached the rooftop terrace. Using the iron railings, he leaped to the rooftop of the adjacent building and made his escape!


    17shou and Dajing arrived on the rooftop, gritted their teeth without saying a word, and gave chase. No matter what, they couldn¡¯t let Jiang Siming get away today. With him down to a sliver of health, if he managed to escape and recover, they would be in serious trouble.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s current state couldn¡¯t withstand even a single bullet. This was their best chance!

 Chapter 284: Justice from the Heavens!

    The two had just climbed onto the rooftop when Jiang Siming leaped again, moving to another rooftop.


    They wanted to shoot but didn¡¯t have time and could only continue chasing.


    The three of them played out an intense police-and-thief chase scene on the rooftops, with Jiang Siming continuously using the gaps and cover between rooftops to evade capture.


    Finally, he leaped again, landing on a rooftop he had jumped to earlier, and as soon as he landed, he jumped down.


    The spot he chose to jump to was the second-floor balcony, where he slipped inside the building and hid in the bathroom.


    17shou and Da Jing, who had been chasing him, suddenly lost track of Jiang Siming. They were left disoriented by his looping and leaping movements.


    "Check over there. Split up and search; he¡¯s probably still hiding on the rooftop," 17shou said irritably. Being toyed with in their own city, P City, was a humiliation too great to bear.


    Hiding in the bathroom, Jiang Siming narrowly escaped, taking the opportunity to heal. All he had from the church was five bandages.


    The bodies of Ma Niu Niu and Hou Zi had first-aid kits, but there hadn¡¯t been time to loot them; grabbing the red fragment earlier had already been a stretch.


    He could only use the bandages. Though slow, they at least restored some health.


    Taking a quick glance at the red fragment he had picked up, Jiang Siming saw it was [Advanced Basketball], leaving him just one piece shy of completing this skill.


    As he packed the fragment away, his bandages weren¡¯t even fully used up before 17shou and Da Jing¡¯s footsteps were heard again, coming down the balcony.


    It never rains but pours; Jiang Siming had to stop bandaging.


    Like a leopard under attack, he prepared to counter, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.


    This encounter with Team 17 was the most dire one Jiang Siming had faced in a long time.@@@@


    It was mainly due to being low on meds and gear and almost getting trapped by Team 17¡¯s strategy¡ªa textbook case of catching prey in a jar, though that analogy might be a bit off...


    After entering the bathroom, Jiang Siming cleverly left the door open, betting that his opponents wouldn¡¯t search the bathroom first but would instead go for the adjacent bedroom.


    As expected, when 17shou and Da Jing entered and saw the open bathroom door, they didn¡¯t check it first but went straight to the bedroom.


    Taking this chance, Jiang Siming dashed out of the bathroom.


    If he didn¡¯t move, he was dead; they would soon check the bathroom, and once they blocked the doorway, escape would be impossible.


    Since hiding wasn¡¯t an option, he decided to gamble on a desperate move.


    By the time he reached "four," he was already climbing the three-story building.


    By "six," he was on the rooftop with three seconds left to spare.


    Jiang Siming climbed onto the rooftop railing and leapt towards the opposite roof.


    In the final second, Jiang Siming landed on the roof opposite where Da Jing had been knocked down.


    Sure enough, he saw 17shou still reviving Da Jing. Jiang Siming immediately raised his Bizon and fired the remaining seven bullets at 17shou¡¯s head, creating a full bloom of hits!


    "Damn it!" 17shou was extremely frustrated. Just 0.5 seconds more, and Da Jing would have been revived.


    But now, because of that 0.5-second difference, both of them were down, and Da Jing couldn¡¯t be revived.


    The moment they fell, they both turned into loot boxes.


    The entire 17 team was wiped out!


    Jiang Siming let out a long sigh of relief. Damn, this city battle was way too thrilling and nerve-wracking.


    In the end, it all came down to the wire¡ªclimbing to the rooftop and taking out 17shou. That final 0.5 seconds decided his victory.


    If 17shou had that extra 0.5 seconds, he could have revived Da Jing. Even if Jiang Siming managed to knock him down again, there would be no time to finish off Da Jing.


    With no bullets left in his Bizon, Jiang Siming would have been a sitting duck for Da Jing, who could easily counterattack and kill him in the open.


    That¡¯s why Jiang Siming had been meticulously calculating time, winning himself that crucial 0.5 seconds.


    But before he could celebrate, a divine thunderbolt landed at Jiang Siming¡¯s feet from the heavens.


    The entire P City turned into a sea of red alerts¡ªthe bombing zone had arrived!


    And just his luck, a bomb exploded right beneath Jiang Siming.


    Now, Jiang Siming was stunned. After a nail-biting one-vs-four victory, was he about to be schooled by the system?


    The bomb knocked Jiang Siming down. He sat there, despair written all over his face. Was this fate?


    He hadn¡¯t even looted the fragments from 17shou¡¯s body yet. Damn it all!

 Chapter 285: Oh, Meat

    This moment left both the audience and commentators stunned. Ming God... how could he be so unlucky?


    The fans of Team 17, however, were ecstatic.


    "Serves you right for wiping out our Team 17. Karma got you, huh? Justice from above!!"


    "Haha, you¡¯ve committed too many sins by killing so much, divine retribution has arrived."


    "Seeing this scene, I strangely feel a sense of relief."


    "Only the heavens can stop Ming God. It seems the heavens still have some sympathy for the other teams."


    "Finally, this killing machine can take a break. This round, OMG is set to win, haha!"


    Lying on the rooftop, Jiang Siming was truly at a loss, ready to accept his fate. What could he say? He could only blame his own bad luck.


    "Brother Jiang, I¡¯m on my way! Don¡¯t panic!"


    Xiao Xingmu happened to be nearby in P City and had a motorcycle. Jiang Siming, seeing this, went from frustration to laughter and quickly climbed down from the rooftop, hiding under an eave to avoid being finished off by the bombardment.


    Xiao Xingmu sped through the city, riding his motorcycle straight into P City.


    Fans of Team 17 and other teams alike were all "cursing" Xiao Xingmu to "crash" ¡ª of course, in the game. They eagerly hoped that Xiao Xingmu might accidentally crash his bike or that he wouldn¡¯t make it in time, leaving Jiang Siming to bleed out.


    But their "wishes" seemed to have no effect. Xiao Xingmu¡¯s motorcycle smoothly entered P City and reached Jiang Siming just in time, with Jiang still having half his health left.


    Oh, meat!


    These fans held their heads in despair. Not even the heavens could claim Jiang Siming¡¯s life. Did he have any rivals left?


    Pulled back up from the ground, Jiang Siming laughed heartily. "I, Fu Han San, am back again!"


    "Xingmu, your timing is perfect. Tonight, you¡¯re getting a drumstick as a reward," Jiang Siming said with satisfaction. But without wasting time, he darted up to 17shou¡¯s building, heading upstairs to loot the fragments first.


    "Picked up [Variety Show Talent] Red Fragment *1 (1/3). Insufficient fragments, cannot use yet."


    Variety Show Talent?


    All four red figures appeared to be in a sitting posture, spaced about a dozen meters apart, and were heading straight toward him, seemingly in vehicles.


    Each of them carried high-level equipment!


    Two of them had Level 3 helmets and Level 3 armor, and one even had a 15x scope. Moreover, among their weapons were an M249 and a Groza¡ªcompletely decked out.


    This team had clearly looted two airdrops already. Their luck was off the charts.


    Fully equipped and fat with loot, they looked like walking jackpots. Jiang Siming, the "bandit," couldn¡¯t help but salivate at the sight.


    He quickly rode his mountain bike to a small hill near the main road, setting up an ambush at their expected path.


    Unfortunately, just as they were approaching, the two vehicles split up and turned into three. It seemed they had picked up another vehicle along the way. Discover exclusive tales on


    Now split into three groups, they entered the zone from three different directions. Heading towards Jiang Siming was only one member, the one with the 15x scope, who didn¡¯t even have Level 3 armor.


    This left Jiang Siming feeling frustrated. Teams these days were so strategic¡ªthey didn¡¯t stick together when entering the safe zone, probably to avoid being wiped out all at once.


    Still, as long as they had high-level equipment, Jiang Siming was confident he could track them down eventually. He just hoped they wouldn¡¯t get wiped out by another team before he had a chance; otherwise, he¡¯d be at a loss.


    The lone 15x scope player had driven close to Jiang Siming.


    Originally, Jiang Siming had planned to use his PP-19 Bizon to spray them down and take all four of them. But now, with just one person, he didn¡¯t even feel like wasting bullets on a spray.


    Switching to his VSS, Jiang Siming aimed at the driver¡¯s seat.


    *Pew pew pew*¡ªa few silent bullets pierced through the opponent¡¯s car window.


    All the bullets hit their mark, going straight into the player¡¯s helmet.


    The driver noticed and tried to steer away, but Jiang Siming¡¯s VSS, practically automatic, unloaded seven or eight rounds in less than a second.


    Even with a Level 3 helmet, it was game over. The unlucky player fell out of the car in frustration.


    Jiang Siming glanced at the player¡¯s team icon¡ªit was from LGD.


    Oh, this was Wei Shen¡¯s old team!

 Chapter 286: Diana’s Moonlight

    "Ah Wei, I killed your old team. You won¡¯t blame me, right?" Jiang Siming joked.


    Back in the day, Wei Shen played for LGD in the League of Legends division. The optimistic family of that era gained countless fans, rivaling teams like EDG and WE in popularity.


    "Kill them, go all out," Wei Shen replied. "It was LGD¡¯s coach and club that forced me to switch games. I wanted to play Diana mid-lane, but they insisted I play Viktor or Fizz. Later, when I refused, they benched me. I had no matches to play and only turned to PUBG because I listened to that idiot Hirano Aya."


    As Wei Shen spoke, a hint of nostalgia crept in. Deep down, his heart still held onto League of Legends, and the regret from Season 5 remained a lingering wound even after all these years.


    He had let go of Diana¡¯s moonlight and taken up a mortal¡¯s gun.


    When it comes to gaming talent, Wei Shen is undoubtedly one of China¡¯s top e-sports players. Excelling in two completely different games isn¡¯t just about hard work; it requires true gaming genius.


    Jiang Siming also enjoyed playing League of Legends. While he was the top player in PUBG, it didn¡¯t stop him from having a deep love for League of Legends back in the day.


    However, Jiang Siming¡¯s skills in League of Legends were average at best, with his highest rank only reaching Diamond.


    If he ever got a League of Legends skill fragment and had the time, he wouldn¡¯t mind trying his hand at the professional scene.


    Becoming a dual world champion in PUBG and League of Legends¡ªwouldn¡¯t that make him the undisputed number one gamer in the world?


    For now, it was just a passing thought. Jiang Siming put aside such trivial ideas and focused on the match.


    After knocking the player down, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t immediately finish him off, hoping his teammates would come to rescue him.


    The other three LGD players initially intended to help, but after seeing the killer¡¯s ID, they quickly gave up the idea of a rescue and sped away from the scene even faster than before.


    Left with no choice, Jiang Siming finished the downed player but didn¡¯t find any fragments. Still, he wasn¡¯t discouraged.


    He took the player¡¯s AE86 and repaired the tires of his old mountain bike on the side.


    Find more adventures on


    Even if Jiang Siming didn¡¯t plan to use it, no one else was allowed to either!


    As for the 15x scope in the opponent¡¯s backpack, Jiang Siming happily accepted it and swapped his VSS for an M24.


    The player must have been using the 15x scope for their sniper rifle, something Jiang Siming had anticipated.


    With the 15x scope and M24 in hand, Jiang Siming revealed his wicked grin, the hallmark of the great demon king!


    By the fifth circle, only eighteen players were left in the match.


    For many teams, this game was their only hope of advancing, so everyone played fiercely, leading to a rapid reduction in numbers.


    So far, Jiang Siming had only secured nine kills. He had just wiped a squad near the airport bridge, but his kill count was much lower than usual.


    Jiang Siming had no control over this, but luckily, the squad at the airport gave him two fragments: one was **[Variety Talent]**, and the other was **[Wanda Park]**.


    **[Wanda Park]** now had three fragments, with five more needed.


    **[Variety Talent]** was short by two fragments.


    **[Advanced Basketball]** was just one fragment away.


    "Only seventeen players left. You¡¯d better hold on for a while. Whether I can gather more fragments depends on you guys," Jiang Siming silently cheered for the remaining players.


    He wasn¡¯t worried about finding enemies. The smaller the circle, the easier it was to locate them, thanks to his **[Robber¡¯s Instinct]**, which had a 2000-meter range.


    As soon as the sixth circle refreshed, he would know the location of any player carrying high-level loot among the remaining seventeen.


    For now, he could only hope they didn¡¯t start fighting each other and steal his kills.


    Fortunately, when the sixth circle arrived, there were still 15 players left.


    With the new circle, no one dared to remain in the electric field. Everyone moved into the safe zone.


    The sixth circle¡¯s area was now less than 2000 meters in diameter, meaning Jiang Siming¡¯s **[Robber¡¯s Instinct]** covered the entire area.


    Suddenly, red silhouettes lit up all around him¡ªseven in total!


    Most of them had level-three armor or 8x scopes, followed by level-three helmets, airdrop weapons, and other high-level loot.


    "Perfect! Just perfect!" Jiang Siming grinned from ear to ear.


    He had positioned himself on the highest mountain, surrounded by wide open fields with a clear view in every direction.


    Using his 15x scope, he quickly spotted a player with level-three armor in the southeast who had exposed themselves.


    For most players, using a 15x scope was a challenge. Few would pick one up, and even fewer had practiced with it enough to know how to use it effectively.

 Chapter 287: One Slash, Level 999

    Did you notice that when you open the 15x scope, there is a small black dot at intervals?


    Yes, these black dots are used for determining the range with the sniper rifle¡¯s scope.


    If the enemy is within 100 meters, you can just aim with the crosshair. But if the enemy is 400 meters away, use the first black dot when aiming.


    It may seem like you need to predict, but don¡¯t worry. Did you notice there are a few horizontal lines below the 15x scope?


    These horizontal lines are not for decoration; they are actually used for range estimation.


    When the height of the object matches one of the horizontal lines, you can deduce the distance accordingly.


    If you understand all this but still don¡¯t know how to use the 15x scope, then it¡¯s just a matter of luck.


    Jiang Siming quickly figured out that the opponent was about 600 meters away. Without adjusting the crosshair accuracy, he only needed to lift the gun slightly below the first black dot, then decisively pulled the trigger!


    Bang!


    The muffled sound of the M24 echoed as the high-speed bullet pierced through the air, hitting the opponent¡¯s level 2 helmet precisely at the center of the forehead. One shot took them down!


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even give the opponent a chance to throw a smoke grenade, immediately firing another shot to finish them off.


    After eliminating one player, Jiang Siming quickly switched to another red silhouette.


    Only he could see these red silhouettes. If others were hiding, he couldn¡¯t locate them, so it was better to collect all the high-level loot marked in red on the battlefield first.


    This time, Jiang Siming aimed at someone from OMG named Xiaorong. Xiaorong didn¡¯t have a level 3 helmet this time, but Jiang Siming¡¯s sniper rifle had an 8x scope.


    Xiaorong wasn¡¯t aware that Jiang Siming¡¯s "death gun" had already locked onto his head.


    However, Xiaorong was alerted by Jiang Siming¡¯s earlier shot, so he wasn¡¯t an easy target this time.


    While Xiaorong stayed hidden, Xiaohai exposed himself in Jiang Siming¡¯s line of fire.


    "Xiaohai, take cover. Ming Shen probably knows our position," Xiaorong warned.


    Just as Xiaorong finished speaking, a bullet whizzed past him and landed with a thud into Xiaohai¡¯s nose bridge.


    Although it wasn¡¯t a forehead shot, the nose bridge is still part of the head, and Xiaohai was downed with one shot.


    Xiaorong didn¡¯t throw a smoke grenade, knowing it was too late for that. Instead, he decided to engage in a psychological battle with Jiang Siming, betting that Jiang would prioritize finishing Xiaohai.


    One slash, level 999 ¨C not just a dream!


    In just the time it takes to sip tea, Jiang Siming eliminated nine players on this mountaintop! Among them, he only managed to finish off seven; the other two were revived by teammates due to their advantageous positions.


    Unfortunately, the seventh circle didn¡¯t include his location as a safe zone. Otherwise, Jiang Siming believed none of them could have escaped his grasp.


    Still, taking out seven was satisfying enough. He drove down to collect shards first.


    Jiang Siming drove his Akina AE86 down the hill, stopping at each box where he had killed someone.


    "God Ming is already so well-equipped, and he¡¯s still looting in the final circle?" Commentator Zhou Yi expressed some confusion.


    "Maybe it¡¯s an obsessive-compulsive habit, or maybe God Ming is deliberately using looting to bait other players into attacking him, so he can counter them," commentator Xiao Xiong analyzed.


    In truth, Jiang Siming¡¯s love for looting was well known, but the commentators couldn¡¯t see the shards. Even if they suspected something, they had no way to confirm it.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t need to crouch to pick up shards. Standing near a box was enough for him to collect them through mental command, stealthily and without detection.


    All they could see was Jiang Siming stopping at almost every second box he passed.


    Seven kills yielded a total of four shards¡ªa pretty decent drop rate!


    Among them, two shards were for the skill ¡¾Variety Show Talent¡¿. Jiang Siming directly maxed out this skill. After activating it, his mind was filled with experience and techniques for variety shows.


    Don¡¯t underestimate variety shows¡ªthey might seem like just inviting a few celebrities to participate in fun, exciting activities, perhaps with a script.


    But in reality, the script is secondary. Many aspects depend on the stars¡¯ improvisation.


    Take *Extreme Challenge* as an example. Why wasn¡¯t it popular in its first season but gained massive popularity later on?


    It was because when the men¡¯s team first joined, they lacked experience and didn¡¯t find their groove in variety shows.


    After a season of getting familiar, especially with veteran actors like Huang Bo, Huang Lei, and Sun Honglei, they quickly adapted to the program¡¯s style.


    They seemed as though they were on a roll, delivering immense joy and entertainment to viewers every episode. This made the show increasingly successful and eventually surpass *Running Man* to become the top variety show.


    As for why *Running Man* started strong but was later surpassed, the biggest issue was the heavy reliance on scripted scenarios.


    Each cast member felt like a puppet following the script, resulting in awkward jokes and forced humor.


    Without variety show geniuses like Deng Chao and Chen He holding things together, the program wouldn¡¯t have stayed popular for long.

 Chapter 288: Medium-Scale Stock Chart!

    Compared to Korea¡¯s *Running Man*, the domestic *Running Man* is like child¡¯s play, with many parts directly copied from the Korean variety show.


    Viewers who have watched the Korean version will absolutely not want to watch the domestic version¡ªthis is the gap between variety shows.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s mind was suddenly filled with countless skills suitable for variety shows, covering all aspects.


    There were skills for being eloquent, making jokes, building personas, and even being quirky...


    Now, if he were placed in any variety show, he would handle it with ease.


    Jiang Siming felt that even if he didn¡¯t participate in variety shows, these skills would come in handy for social interactions and atmosphere management.


    Indeed, it was a rare and valuable skill, which he happily accepted.


    Enjoy exclusive adventures from


    Aside from the two pieces of [Variety Show Talent], Jiang Siming also received a piece of [Golf Skill], which required three fragments to complete; he only got one piece this time.


    The last piece was a blue fragment¡ªanother [Water Repellent Pill]. The previous one had been given to Li Shengxue, so regaining it made Jiang Siming quite satisfied.


    After collecting all four fragments, the electric grid was already scorching close, so Jiang Siming quickly drove into the safe zone.


    On the way, he encountered SJ¡¯s last lone wolf player. Knowing they had no chance to advance, this player, realizing the car belonged to Jiang Siming, crazily fired at it, attempting to knock him out of the vehicle.


    However, Jiang Siming easily evaded the bullets with a few drifting maneuvers and even drove straight into the player, running them over on the spot.


    Jiang Siming then stopped to do a quick dance, picked up another fragment, and drove off into the zone.


    SJ could be considered the team most insulted by Jiang Siming in this group stage. Whenever they didn¡¯t encounter him, they performed decently.


    But as soon as they crossed paths with Jiang Siming, they were instantly eliminated. He was like their calamity and misfortune.


    As for Jiang Siming¡¯s blatantly mocking dance after getting out of the car, the officials turned a blind eye. Even if they noticed, they acted as if they hadn¡¯t.


    After all, Jiang Siming was now the undisputed god of *PUBG*. Even if he committed some minor violations¡ªlike teaming up in public matches, trash-talking players, or slightly bending the rules¡ªno one dared to penalize him.


    "Picked up [Advanced Basketball] red fragment *1 (5/5), fragment set complete, ready for immediate use."


    Finally, he had completed it, and Jiang Siming was delighted.


    After the group stage, he planned to livestream a game of outdoor basketball for his audience, showing off his skills.


    Getting new skills always made him eager to try them out. Just like the other day, when he completed the [Advanced Swimming] skill, he spent half a day swimming in his home pool. ?aNO?E?S?


    However, since he didn¡¯t own swim trunks, he went skinny-dipping; otherwise, he would¡¯ve live-streamed the whole thing.


    The principal¡¯s IG team failed to qualify, as did several major domestic esports powerhouses, such as EDG and WE.


    It could only be said that their group assignments were terribly unlucky. Group A was rightfully called the "Group of Death," with three FGS strong teams all placed in the same group, making it incredibly difficult to break into the top six.


    The group stage finally concluded. Jiang Siming gained a lot from it and looked forward to the elimination rounds even more.


    For now, the competition took a short break. Wei Shen and the 17 team planned to go out for a meal together, but Jiang Siming declined, casually making up an excuse to skip this "gathering."


    Instead of hanging out with them, Jiang Siming preferred to head over to stay with Daidai. Two women were waiting for him, and he hurried back to have some extra "fun."


    The next day, Jiang Siming returned from Daidai¡¯s villa, looking refreshed and beaming with energy.


    Last night¡¯s "double blossom" with one dragon and two phoenixes left him invigorated, and he expected to remain in high spirits for the entire day.


    As for Daidai and Tuantuan, they were still sound asleep.


    Neither had been drinking the previous night, yet they boldly teamed up to "battle" Jiang Siming together.


    Once you experience something for the first time, a second time inevitably follows.


    It¡¯s just like a man wearing women¡¯s clothes¡ªafter the first time, there will naturally be countless times after that...


    Two days had passed since the release of "Old Boy." In just that time, the song officially surpassed "Little Love Song" to claim the top spot for the month.


    NO.1, "Old Boy"


    Singer: Jiang Siming, Composer: Jiang Siming, Lyricist: Jiang Siming


    Download count: 5,547,810.


    Comments: 2,445,712.


    With a staggering five million downloads and over two million comments, it shocked the entire Chinese music scene.


    Everyone knew Jiang Siming¡¯s music was incredible, but no one anticipated his new song to be this powerful.


    Not only did it quickly climb to the top of the new song charts on major music platforms, but it also dominated the trending charts, artist charts, and many others.


    Listeners¡¯ feedback on the song reached unprecedented heights, even prompting several top-tier singers to leave comments.


    Among them were two leading singers in both popularity and skill, G.E.M. Deng Ziqi and Jane Zhang Liangying.


    Surprisingly, both offered unanimous praise for the song.

 Chapter 289: Outdoor Basketball Live Stream!

    Renowned singer Zhang Liangying commented on "Old Boy":


    "Rarely does the music industry produce such a beautiful new song. I listened to it the entire night. At first, I cried my heart out. I thought it must have been created by a legendary veteran singer, but when I checked online, I was shocked¡ªit was by a gaming streamer! So talented! I¡¯m in awe of Ming Shen¡¯s creativity. His singing is amazing too! If there¡¯s a chance, let¡¯s collaborate~ Love it!"


    Renowned singer G.E.M. Deng Ziqi also praised "Old Boy":


    "My mom actually recommended this song to me. After listening, I fell in love with it. This song is incredibly touching, with top-tier lyrics and composition! It brings me back to the golden era of Hong Kong music. Even back then, this song would still be first-class. I¡¯ve listened to his other songs as well¡ªthey¡¯re all amazing and even overshadow my ¡¯Devil from Heaven.¡¯ Sob sob, I need comfort..."


    Many professional music critics also reviewed the song, and all gave overwhelmingly positive feedback.


    To describe a song as an overnight sensation¡ªthis would be it.


    Jiang Siming, on the other hand, remained indifferent. He only cared about collecting more fragments. With fragments, anything was negotiable; without them, there was no point in discussing anything.


    After the group stage matches, there were no more games for a while. Today, Jiang Siming decided to do an outdoor live stream¡ªplaying basketball!


    Having just obtained an advanced basketball, his hands were itching to show off. After all, it wouldn¡¯t do justice to the fragments he had collected if he didn¡¯t.


    Jiang Siming, already experienced with outdoor live streaming via his phone, skillfully prepared to start a stream.


    "Master, Xiao Xian can totally replace your phone! I can follow and record you invisibly, streaming directly to your audience without needing a phone!"@@@@


    Out of nowhere, Xiao Xian appeared in Jiang Siming¡¯s room, hopping about. Experience more on


    "You just want to go out and play with me, don¡¯t you?" Jiang Siming immediately saw through her little scheme.


    Despite being a filming device, her intelligent brain far surpassed any robotic AI on Earth¡ªshe was as mischievous as a pixie.


    Xiao Xian chuckled sheepishly and didn¡¯t deny it. She looked at Jiang Siming pitifully and said, "Master, please take Xiao Xian along! I can film you the entire time. Even if you¡¯re playing basketball, I can shoot without any blind spots, saving you the trouble of holding up a phone."


    "But if you come off as too advanced, won¡¯t the audience get suspicious?" Jiang Siming considered this point.


    "Don¡¯t worry, Master! Xiao Xian will film from a photographer¡¯s perspective, leaving no traces. Plus, the footage will be even better than that of the most professional cinematographers! My primary function is as a filming device. I can also connect to live comments in real time and let you know the most useful ones immediately," Xiao Xian boasted proudly.


    "Alright then, start the stream now," Jiang Siming finally agreed.


    When Jiang Siming entered the garage, the audience was blown away by the scene inside¡ªthree luxury cars parked side by side! An Aston Martin, a Lamborghini, and a Brabus, each one exuding sheer coolness.


    There were actually two more cars, but Xin Yi and Zhi Rou had taken them to work.


    "Wow, these three cars must be worth at least twenty million!"


    "I love the Lamborghini!"


    "My favorite is the Aston Martin¡ªmy dream car!"


    "This Brabus looks so imposing! As expected of Ming God, a true tycoon!"


    "My life¡¯s dream is just a car worth three hundred thousand, but seeing Ming God¡¯s collection makes me feel heartbroken."


    "Any one of these cars is leagues above the ones those other outdoor streamers flaunt to show off and attract girls!"


    Jiang Siming ignored their wails and envy, retrieved the Lamborghini¡¯s keys, got in, and started the car.


    Vroom~


    The roar of the engine set many male viewers¡¯ hearts racing¡ªcars are to men what makeup is to women, irresistible.


    As the car pulled out, Xiao Xian thoughtfully filtered out road signs and any details that could reveal Jiang Siming¡¯s home address, sparing him a lot of trouble.


    While Jiang Siming drove, Xiao Xian dutifully hovered in front of the car, continuing to film like a diligent little "paparazzo."


    Jiang Siming casually put on his sunglasses. His focused driving looked even cooler than Takumi Fujiwara, sending the female viewers into a frenzy. They were overjoyed, feeling like today was even better than International Women¡¯s Day.


    The car made its way to the music academy¡ªwhat better place to play basketball than a school?


    Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t familiar with courts at other schools, so he decided to check out the ones at the music academy.


    As he drove into the academy, the security guard, the uncle Jiang Siming had previously given cigarettes to, warmly waved him through.

 Chapter 290: I Am Not Ming God

    Jiang Siming drove his car into the campus, and the stunning Lamborghini immediately caught the attention of numerous students. With such an eye-catching design, it was impossible for the car not to stand out. Explore more at


    Parking near the basketball court, the scissor doors of the Lamborghini lifted, and Jiang Siming stepped out holding a basketball. The surrounding girls let out excited screams.


    Xiao Xian perfectly captured the expressions of these girls on camera, causing the female audience watching the livestream to burst into laughter. They felt a sense of pride, as if they could relate.


    "Seeing their infatuated faces feels like looking at myself," someone commented.


    "Don¡¯t you dare look at my husband! What are you thinking, you little flirts!" another joked.


    "I¡¯m in Shanghai; I¡¯m going to the music academy to see my husband!" one exclaimed.


    "Form a team! I¡¯m in Kunshan. Can I make it there tonight if I take leave?"


    Xiao Xian highlighted these messages, and Jiang Siming, realizing the potential chaos if fans really organized a "raid," quickly said, "I¡¯m just here to play basketball for a bit. If you¡¯re not nearby, there¡¯s no need to come because I¡¯ll be leaving soon."


    His statement convinced many female fans to abandon their plans to visit him.


    After parking the car, Jiang Siming headed toward the basketball court, followed by a group of female students. Some bold girls even approached him to ask for his phone number.


    Jiang Siming turned them all down one by one, saying he was there to play basketball, not flirt. Besides, he had already won over the two most beautiful girls at the music academy, so he wasn¡¯t interested in others.


    His decisive rejections caused the male viewers watching the livestream to feel heartache.


    "Why is the difference between men so vast?"


    "Those outdoor streamers who try to pick up girls every night and fail¡ªdon¡¯t you feel ashamed?"


    "If Ming God did outdoor flirting streams, they¡¯d be explosive!"


    "Fine, you don¡¯t want these girls¡¯ WeChats, but at least give them to us!"


    "The rich don¡¯t understand the hunger of the poor. This is so unfair!"


    Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t relate to their "drought" of female attention. Even before taking the genetic enhancement, he was popular with girls, thanks to his family genes. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have earned the title of "Campus Heartthrob Jiang."


    After turning down all the junior students who approached him, Jiang Siming knew that Wang Xinyi was in the study room attending class.


    Wang Xinyi, now a third-year student, was encouraged by her family to prepare for graduate school, and Jiang Siming supported the idea. Every weekday, she stayed on campus and slept in the dormitory. Not wanting to disturb her studies, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t inform her of his visit.@@@@


    Arriving at the basketball court, Jiang Siming noticed that all the hoops were occupied, so he decided to join an ongoing game.


    It was a sense of assuredness that made him feel he could effortlessly claim any honor in this domain.


    "Serve the ball! Peng Tao, where¡¯s your third guy? Why is there a new face?"


    The winning team threw the ball to the buzz-cut guy while curiously eyeing Jiang Siming.


    "This guy looks familiar. Is he some kind of celebrity?"


    These three also began to have their doubts about Jiang Siming.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped; university students are well-versed in new trends like livestreaming. Young people have a knack for quickly adopting and understanding new things.


    Not wanting to turn a simple basketball game into an identity-revealing spectacle, Jiang Siming quickly said, "Don¡¯t get any ideas just because I¡¯m handsome. I¡¯m not some celebrity. Let¡¯s just play."


    "Alright then, maybe you just look like someone. Let¡¯s start!"


    The leader shrugged it off, and the two teams began their casual three-on-three game.


    At 1.87 meters tall, Jiang Siming stood out on the court. Among the six players, the tallest was the lanky guy who had just spoken, barely over 1.80 meters.


    Jiang Siming was a full head taller than him, making everyone else look even shorter in comparison.


    Peng Tao, the buzz-cut guy, decided to test Jiang Siming¡¯s skills and passed the ball to him.


    Jiang Siming caught it effortlessly with one hand, gripping the ball tightly and letting it dangle upside down in mid-air.


    Everyone was a little surprised. This guy seemed to have some skill.


    The lanky guy on the opposing team thought Jiang Siming was just showing off. He stepped forward boldly, intending to slap the ball out of Jiang Siming¡¯s hand.


    Jiang Siming, however, moved like a nimble monkey, transferring the ball behind his back to his other hand.


    The lanky guy swiped at nothing, while Jiang Siming remained motionless.


    He then performed a textbook NBA-style jump shot, lightly flicking his wrist to release the ball.


    The lanky guy tried to leap up and block the shot, but the ball¡¯s trajectory was far beyond his reach.


    He could only hope the shot was a miss. However, as he turned to look, the Jordan-brand basketball swished cleanly through the hoop, smooth and flawless!

 Chapter 291: School Team Causing Trouble?

    "Nice one, bro. That was brilliant. These three guys are the best basketball players in our class, always teaming up to bully us. If we win this round, we get free Red Bull. It¡¯s all on you now."


    Peng Tao saw hope in Jiang Siming. Although Jiang¡¯s movements didn¡¯t show much technique, his effortless and relaxed demeanor when shooting deeply influenced Peng Tao.


    The lanky guy, named Chen He, chuckled and said, "He made just one basket, and you¡¯re already dreaming, Peng Tao? It¡¯s first to five, and we¡¯ve got a long way to go."


    Chen He gestured to Jiang Siming, signaling for the ball.


    In street basketball rules, when one team scores, the next possession goes to the opposing team.@@@@


    Jiang Siming tossed the ball over, switching the offensive and defensive sides.


    Holding the ball confidently, Chen He waved at Jiang Siming, taunting him.


    Jiang cooperatively moved forward, pretending to attempt a steal.


    Chen He immediately showcased his dribbling skills, switching the ball between his legs and testing Jiang with feints, trying to shake him off.


    "Not bad dribbling, but if this is all you¡¯ve got, it¡¯s hardly challenging," Jiang said with a calm smile, standing his ground.


    Chen He snorted and suddenly sped up. His body leaned sharply to the left, making it seem like he was breaking through on that side.


    But he quickly pivoted, forcing his momentum to the right. His sneakers screeched against the court as he aimed for a right-side breakthrough.


    He successfully got past Jiang Siming and appeared ready to make a layup.


    One step, two steps, jump, hook shot, ball released...


    *Smack!*


    A crisp sound echoed as the ball, freshly released from Chen He¡¯s hand, was swatted down by a large, well-defined hand like a mountain pressing down on a monkey.


    An unmerciful block can be devastating!


    Chen He suffered a crushing block from Jiang Siming, who stood there triumphant.


    "Why should we? Just because we¡¯re fewer in number, you think you can boss us around? Can¡¯t you find another court?" Chen He, still frustrated from being blocked twice, was already in a bad mood.


    The headband guy smirked. "We saw you getting blocked earlier. It¡¯s a miracle we didn¡¯t come over to laugh at you. With skills like yours, you¡¯ve got no business playing basketball. Why don¡¯t you head back to your dorm and rest?"


    "Say that again!" Chen He snapped. Being humiliated in front of so many people was unbearable.


    "Enough, Er Gou, cut it out," said Huang Yuhao, captain of the music school¡¯s basketball team. Smiling amiably, he addressed Chen He, "Don¡¯t mind him. He speaks a bit bluntly. We¡¯ve got an important game coming up and urgently need the court for practice. How about this¡ªyou don¡¯t have to leave. Just watch from the sidelines. There¡¯s a ¡¯big name¡¯ coming, Zeng Wending from the CBA. Think of it as giving him the space, okay?"


    Huang Yuhao appeared to handle situations smoothly and amicably, but in reality, he could have stopped the headband guy from speaking from the start. Instead, he allowed the two to argue. Then, acting as a mediator, he successfully tricked Chen He, who felt flattered and willingly left the court.


    Jiang Siming shook his head as he observed, thinking to himself that young people really couldn¡¯t see through such an obvious carrot-and-stick routine.

    Seeing Chen He give in, Huang Yuhao revealed a smug smile and prepared to use the same tactic to persuade the others to leave as well.


    At that moment, one of his teammates whispered something into his ear, causing Huang Yuhao to immediately turn his gaze toward Jiang Siming. He then walked over to him.


    "Brother, I heard you stole my buddy¡¯s girlfriend?"


    "Did he ever even have a girlfriend? You can joke about food, but not about people. Words like that can cause trouble, young man," Jiang Siming replied sharply.


    Then, with a serious expression, Jiang Siming turned to one of the players behind Huang Yuhao and said, "Explain yourself. Who is your girlfriend?"


    The instigator was none other than Zhang Wei, who had once unsuccessfully pursued Jiang Lan. Seeing Jiang Siming here stirred up his unresolved resentment and desire for revenge, so he asked the captain to intervene and teach Jiang Siming a lesson.


    Called out by Jiang Siming, Zhang Wei was left speechless for a moment. Jiang Lan had never agreed to be his girlfriend, and he couldn¡¯t bring himself to lie about it in public.


    Huang Yuhao, trying to back up Zhang Wei, said, "Even if Jiang Lan isn¡¯t Zhang Wei¡¯s girlfriend, it¡¯s a fact that you took the campus belle of our music academy. For the sake of our school¡¯s honor, I have an obligation to stand up."


    Standing at 1.9 meters tall, Huang Yuhao was slightly taller than Jiang Siming. He saw no reason to fear him.


    Although Jiang Siming¡¯s gaze was intimidating, Huang Yuhao dismissed it as mere posturing.

 Chapter 292: Streaking Bet

    Xiao Xian would never expose her master¡¯s privacy. Not only did she refuse, but she also blocked the conversation between Huang Yuhao and Jiang Siming.


    After all, if news spread about Jiang Siming dating the campus belle of the Music Academy, it might negatively affect his reputation, and it would be troublesome if someone used it to stir up trouble. Xiao Xian cut off the audio of Huang Yuhao¡¯s words and switched the camera angle to a distant view. To the audience, it looked like the two were in a heated argument, but they couldn¡¯t hear what they were saying.


    "What¡¯s going on? Why did the sound suddenly drop? It was clear just now."


    "Maybe they moved too far away."


    "Come on, I want to hear! Cameraman, get closer!"


    "It looks like the cameraman went to the bathroom; the angle hasn¡¯t changed."


    "Are they trying to bully Ming God with numbers? Screw them!"


    "Any fans in Shanghai, assemble immediately! Support Ming God¡ªdon¡¯t let them gang up on him!"


    Even though the audience couldn¡¯t hear the conversation, it was clear from their body language that Huang Yuhao and his group were being hostile toward Jiang Siming. Bully their idol? Not without getting past millions of fans first!


    Hearing Huang Yuhao bring up another absurd reason, Jiang Siming chuckled.


    "What does me dating a girl from your school have to do with you? Who let loose an idiot like you?"


    Jiang Siming¡¯s words were sharp and cutting, as always.


    "What the hell did you say!" A lackey from behind immediately stepped up to defend their captain.


    Jiang Siming patted his chest mockingly. "Oh no, I¡¯m so scared! Do you guys really want to fight, Music Academy geniuses? I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll end up crying for your moms."


    Peng Tao and his group, watching from the side, secretly gave Jiang Siming a thumbs-up. This guy was fearless, taking on an entire school team on his own. Was he not worried about getting ganged up on?


    Huang Yuhao¡¯s expression darkened, but he quickly suppressed his anger and responded politely, "Fighting would make us look like bullies. Since we¡¯re on the basketball court, let¡¯s settle it with basketball. Judging from how you blocked that shot earlier, you must have some skill."


    He pointed to one of his teammates and continued, "Here¡¯s the deal. Pick anyone from our team to go one-on-one. Whoever wins gets Jiang Lan."


    "Are you an idiot?" Jiang Siming replied flatly.


    Stay updated through


    "Too small? Let¡¯s make it twenty laps and allow photos."


    "Deal!" Huang Yuhao agreed instantly, afraid Jiang Siming might back out.


    Just as Jiang Lan was leaving the library and preparing to return to the dormitory with her roommates, she passed by the basketball court. She noticed a large crowd gathering around one of the courts, and it was growing even larger. Some students even ran from their dormitories after hearing the news, rushing toward the basketball court.


    "What¡¯s going on with these people? Is it the start of the school team match?" one of Jiang Lan¡¯s roommates asked curiously.


    Jiang Lan, however, wasn¡¯t interested and replied, "It has nothing to do with us. Let¡¯s go back to the dormitory. I have to be back before nine."


    Another roommate said helplessly, "You really listen to your boyfriend, don¡¯t you? He¡¯s way too controlling, even here at school."


    "Even at school, I don¡¯t want to make him angry," Jiang Lan replied softly. Her voice carried a gentle warmth, and as she thought of Jiang Siming, a sweet smile unknowingly curved her lips.


    "You¡¯re hopeless. Fine, we¡¯ll go back with you. You¡¯re such a love-struck fool," her roommate teased.


    Jiang Lan and her roommates began walking away from the court. At that moment, a male classmate ran toward the basketball court, prompting one of her roommates to ask curiously what was happening over there.


    "You don¡¯t know? The school team¡¯s Huang Yuhao is betting on a one-on-one basketball match with someone. The loser has to run twenty laps around the court naked. Everyone¡¯s talking about it and going to watch. I¡¯ve got to go!" The classmate explained briefly before rushing off.


    Hearing this, Jiang Lan¡¯s roommates became intrigued. "Huang Yuhao! He¡¯s the dream guy for so many girls in our school. Lanlan, let¡¯s go check it out!"


    "I¡¯m not going. If you want to go, you can. I¡¯ll head back to the dormitory," Jiang Lan replied. She had no interest in school heartthrobs or popular guys. Even if a superstar idol appeared, he wouldn¡¯t mean much to her now.


    When you¡¯re in love, your partner is the most beautiful in your eyes. To Jiang Lan, Jiang Siming was the most handsome man. In fact, it wasn¡¯t just her bias; Jiang Siming truly was more attractive than most celebrities. Instead of wasting time watching others, she preferred to return to her dormitory, relax, and read. Perhaps she might even receive a WeChat message from Jiang Siming, asking her to spend time with him.


    "Fine, Lanlan, we¡¯ll abandon you then. You¡¯ve got such a handsome boyfriend, but we¡¯re still single. We¡¯re going!"


    With that, her roommates decisively "betrayed" her and ran off toward the already crowded basketball court.


    Jiang Lan shook her head with a smile and continued walking toward the dormitory alone.


    However, it wasn¡¯t long before her roommates came running back out.

 Chapter 293: Obedient Campus Belle

    "Why the sudden change of heart? Are you coming back to the dorm with me?" Jiang Lan asked with a smile.


    Her roommate shook her head frantically and said, "You need to go take a look, Lan Lan! The person betting against Huang Yuhao is your Jiang Ge!"


    "That¡¯s impossible," Jiang Lan replied in disbelief.


    Her roommate stomped her foot, urging, "It¡¯s true! We all saw it with our own eyes!"


    With all three roommates insisting, Jiang Lan began to panic. She quickly followed them to the basketball court.


    With Jiang Lan¡¯s stunning beauty, all she had to do was politely ask, "Excuse me, could you please move aside?" and the crowd immediately parted to let her through.


    This was the privilege of being the campus belle.


    The four of them reached the front of the court, and Jiang Lan immediately recognized the figure standing in the center as her Jiang Ge.


    "Why is Jiang Ge here at school, and why is he betting with someone..." Jiang Lan looked worried and couldn¡¯t help but walk forward.


    Huang Yuhao and Jiang Siming, who were about to start, paused.


    Huang Yuhao glanced at the approaching Jiang Lan, a hint of desire flashing in his eyes.


    Although he had a girlfriend who was the department beauty, she was still far inferior to Jiang Lan.


    And ever since Jiang Lan had taken the "Detox Beauty Pill" from Jiang Siming, her appearance and temperament had improved significantly.


    But Jiang Lan didn¡¯t spare Huang Yuhao a glance. She walked straight to Jiang Siming and said, "Jiang Ge, don¡¯t waste your energy on this kind of person. Let¡¯s leave together."


    If it had been a fight, Jiang Lan wouldn¡¯t have worried. After all, Jiang Siming had displayed his impressive skills during her birthday celebration.


    But this was basketball, not a fight. And Jiang Siming¡¯s opponent was the captain of the school team. Jiang Lan was genuinely concerned that Jiang Siming might lose.


    However, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t appreciate her good intentions. Instead, he said to her, "You don¡¯t need to worry about this. Go back and mind your own business."


    "But¡ª"


    "No buts. Are you saying my words no longer matter?" Jiang Siming gave her a displeased look.


    "No, no..." Jiang Lan shook her head quickly, like a rattle.


    "Then step aside." Jiang Siming ordered impatiently.


    "Oh..." Jiang Lan obediently stepped out of bounds.


    With a simple and forceful sound, the ball was abruptly knocked off its trajectory toward the hoop. It fell to the ground, bounced a few times, and eventually lay still.


    Huang Yuhao stood frozen in disbelief. Had he just been blocked? Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t even taller than him¡ªhow could he manage to block his shot?


    "It¡¯s my turn now," Jiang Siming said as he bent down, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and walked to the three-point line.


    Huang Yuhao barely had time to recover from his shock before rushing to defend Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t perform any jaw-dropping moves. Instead, he simply mimicked Huang Yuhao¡¯s earlier sprint and completed a straightforward three-step layup.


    Huang Yuhao quickly tried to keep up, but by the time he took two steps, Jiang Siming had already finished the layup, with the basketball obediently falling into the hoop.


    The move made Jiang Siming look like he was playing a single-player game, while Huang Yuhao¡¯s defense seemed as negligible as air.


    "Your turn," Jiang Siming said, tossing the ball to Huang Yuhao.


    Clenching his fists tightly, Huang Yuhao grabbed the ball, his fighting spirit reignited.


    This time, Huang Yuhao played smarter. Realizing that Jiang Siming had superior vertical jumping and speed, he gave up trying to drive for a layup and opted for a post-up move.


    Using his height advantage, he attempted to back Jiang Siming into the paint.


    But as soon as he made contact with Jiang Siming, he realized something shocking. No matter how hard he pushed, Jiang Siming stood unmoved, as solid as an iron wall.


    Huang Yuhao¡¯s face turned red as he strained, but Jiang Siming remained unshaken. Left with no choice, Huang Yuhao turned and attempted a fadeaway shot.


    Just as he jumped, Jiang Siming leapt as well. For a brief moment, Huang Yuhao¡¯s eyes glimmered with confidence¡ªhe had baited Jiang Siming into jumping too early. Enjoy new tales from


    Huang Yuhao slid his foot and stepped aside to create space, then attempted a standing jump shot.


    But to everyone¡¯s surprise, Jiang Siming¡¯s jump had been a fake. He had only leapt about ten centimeters off the ground to trick Huang Yuhao into making his move.


    Landing quickly, Jiang Siming immediately jumped again. This time, his body soared easily above the 1.9-meter-tall Huang Yuhao.


    Reaching out, Jiang Siming blocked the basketball that should have still been soaring through the air.


    Another resounding block. After being denied twice, Huang Yuhao¡¯s expression was a mixture of frustration and disbelief.


    The school team members watching almost suspected that Huang Yuhao was throwing the game. Their captain was supposed to be the best basketball player at the school¡ªhow could he be so effortlessly countered by Jiang Siming?


    With the ball back in Jiang Siming¡¯s possession, he didn¡¯t even bother going for a layup this time. Standing at the three-point line, he simply took a shot!

 Chapter 294: Two Warriors Streaking on Campus

    "As soon as you throw a rushed three-pointer like that, do you think you¡¯re Curry..." Before Huang Yuhao could finish speaking, the familiar swish of the basketball hitting the net came from behind him!


    Cheers erupted from the students around the court, especially from the girls. They didn¡¯t care whether Jiang Siming was from their school¡ªif he was handsome and scored, he deserved their screams.


    "Impossible! This can¡¯t be happening! I don¡¯t believe it!" Huang Yuhao was getting flustered. He had to turn the tide. Jiang Siming already had two points while he was still at zero.


    With the ball in hand again, Huang Yuhao attempted a flashy dribble, but before he could even get to the two-point line, Jiang Siming intercepted it!


    Not only did he steal the ball, but Jiang Siming also turned around and performed Kobe¡¯s signature fadeaway jump shot. The ball swished through the net again, drawing another round of applause.


    "Three points. If you choose to surrender now, I¡¯ll let you off with running two fewer laps," Jiang Siming said to Huang Yuhao.


    "Dream on!" Huang Yuhao gritted his teeth and refused without hesitation.


    "Then please, continue." Jiang Siming tossed the ball back to him.


    The result, however, was predictable. Huang Yuhao was blocked again, this time getting so frustrated that he cursed aloud. But swearing didn¡¯t solve anything. Jiang Siming scored another point.


    4-0.


    By this point, Huang Yuhao was panicking. The ball slipped out of his possession and back into Jiang Siming¡¯s hands.


    The entire crowd was now cheering for Jiang Siming. Even Jiang Lan, who had been worried before, had transformed into a fangirl, cupping her hands around her mouth and shouting words of encouragement along with the other girls.


    "Dunk! Dunk! Dunk!"


    The audience started chanting, eager to see a dunk.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t disappoint. He dashed past Huang Yuhao¡¯s defense, took three swift strides, and leaped.


    His entire body arched in the air, and he slammed the basketball into the hoop with the ferocity of splitting a mountain.


    With a loud bang, the ball went in, and Jiang Siming hung on the rim for a few seconds before dropping down.


    The crowd¡¯s screams reached a fever pitch. This dunk was both violent and stylish!


    Viewers in the live stream were already blown away, flooding the screen with "66666" comments.@@@@


    "God Ming should join the CBA; he might be the next Yao Ming."


    "With this skill level, it¡¯d be a waste not to join the national team!"


    Enjoy exclusive chapters from


    "That dunk was insane! Even more explosive than Vince Carter!"


    "It feels like the school team captain is being completely crushed by God Ming. Totally helpless."


    "Good thing it¡¯s just basketball. If it were a fight, this school would already be surrounded by fan groups."


    After landing, Jiang Siming looked at the dazed Huang Yuhao, who still couldn¡¯t accept his defeat, and said, "Hurry it up. A proper school team captain wouldn¡¯t break his promise in front of so many people, would he?" R?ANO??§¦?s?


    Huang Yuhao definitely wanted to back out. He glared at Jiang Siming with hatred and said, "I¡¯ll remember you!"


    "You don¡¯t have to, as long as you call Zhang Wei to join you. Then you can keep it on," Jiang Siming graciously offered.


    If it weren¡¯t for the livestream and the inconvenience of showing such explicit content, Jiang Siming wouldn¡¯t have let him off so easily.


    Hearing this, Huang Yuhao immediately called Zhang Wei over.


    Zhang Wei walked over reluctantly. "Captain, I didn¡¯t lose..."


    Slap!


    Already humiliated beyond measure, Huang Yuhao was furious and slapped Zhang Wei across the face.


    "If it weren¡¯t for you, would I be in this situation? Hurry up and strip! If you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll help you!"


    Having been slapped, Zhang Wei didn¡¯t dare refuse. He endured the stares of nearly half the school¡¯s students and stripped down to his boxers as well.


    "Start running then, don¡¯t keep everyone waiting," Jiang Siming said, gesturing.


    "Just you wait!" Huang Yuhao spat out before beginning to run laps around the court, with Zhang Wei trailing behind.


    The surrounding students automatically made room for them to "perform freely."


    Many students pulled out their phones and recorded the scene.


    That night, the followers of these students on Douyin skyrocketed. One well-shot video even garnered tens of thousands of likes.


    After completing twenty laps, Huang Yuhao and Zhang Wei quickly put on their clothes, eager to leave. They had been utterly disgraced and had no face left to linger here.


    "Ah Hao, what¡¯s going on?"


    At this moment, a towering man standing at 1.95 meters approached. His burly frame was covered in muscles.


    He had long hair tied in an unconventional braid at the back, but his looks were somewhat unpleasant.


    When this man walked over, his intimidating presence caused the surrounding students to instinctively make way.


    Seeing this man, Huang Yuhao looked like he¡¯d found a savior.


    "Brother Zeng! You¡¯re finally here! You must help me!"


    "What happened?" Zeng Wendin asked.


    Huang Yuhao immediately recounted what had just occurred.


    Zeng Wendin laughed and said, "You¡¯re the school team captain, and you can¡¯t even handle a random passerby?"


    Huang Yuhao, embarrassed, explained, "This guy has some skill¡ªpretending to be weak while hiding his strength."


    "Hah, weak? That part seems accurate. But trying to act like a tiger? He¡¯s not qualified."


    Zeng Wendin¡¯s gaze fell on Jiang Siming, his expression full of mockery.

 Chapter 295: Provocation from an Active Player?

    "Kid, I heard you¡¯re pretty cocky. You defeated a CBA-selected youth training player and even made him streak in public. Impressive, huh?"


    Zeng Wending had already walked up to Jiang Siming, slightly lowering his head to look down at him. At 1.95 meters tall, he could indeed lower his head to see Jiang Siming.


    However, no matter how tall or bulky he was, he couldn¡¯t gain the upper hand in aura before Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming casually dribbled the basketball in his hand and asked nonchalantly, "So, it looks like you¡¯re here to stand up for him? An active CBA player?"


    "Heh, as long as you understand. I don¡¯t want to bully you, but Ah Hao is a youth trainee I¡¯ve taken under my wing. He¡¯s practically part of the CBA. By insulting him, you¡¯ve insulted the CBA."


    Zeng Wending pointed at Huang Yuhao behind him and said to Jiang Siming, "I won¡¯t make things difficult for someone like you. Just like him, take off your clothes and run 20 laps, and this matter will be settled."


    "Why? Just because you¡¯re big and brawny? An active CBA player? Sorry, I really don¡¯t take you seriously," Jiang Siming retorted smoothly.


    This statement made the music academy students admire Jiang Siming even more. "Brother, you¡¯re my brother now. Just for daring to say that, for this confidence, I have to bow to you!"


    Zeng Wending laughed, a hearty, mocking laugh.


    "Since you¡¯ve said that, I have no choice. Let me see what you¡¯ve got, then. Same stakes as with Ah Hao¡ªdare to take me on, big shot?"


    Zeng Wending issued a challenge to Jiang Siming.


    A proper CBA player, one of the best basketball players in China, was now actively challenging an ordinary person.


    This sounded like outright bullying, akin to Jiang Siming challenging a casual gamer with less than 2,000 points in PUBG¡ªit was a one-sided contest from everyone¡¯s perspective.


    "Damn, this guy¡¯s shameless!"


    "A pro basketball player wants to compete with a gaming streamer? How thick-skinned can you be?"


    "If you¡¯ve got the guts, challenge someone in the NBA! Why show off here and act like a big shot?"


    "Already tagged the CBA Basketball Association to see if they¡¯ll feel embarrassed for Zeng Wending."


    "I¡¯m a CBA fan, and even I feel secondhand shame for him."


    ...


    The livestream viewers were furious, standing up for Jiang Siming. They also assumed Jiang Siming wouldn¡¯t accept¡ªanyone agreeing to this would be a fool.


    "Alright, let¡¯s see how good the CBA¡¯s skills are. Aside from Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, do they have any players worth mentioning?"


    The difference between them was so evident that even students who didn¡¯t understand basketball very well could see it. As a result, cheers for Zeng Wending¡¯s successful shots diminished, while Jiang Siming¡¯s shots were met with roaring applause.


    Zeng Wending noticed this as well. Determined to save face, he forced himself to adjust his angles, trying to make clean swishes like Jiang Siming. However, his shot hit the rim and bounced out.


    Now it was Jiang Siming¡¯s turn, with hundreds of eyes eagerly fixed on him. Jiang Siming remained calm, casually tossed the ball, and after a few rotations in the air, it landed perfectly through the hoop.


    The crowd erupted with cheers, nearly shaking the night sky and scaring away the clouds.


    "What¡¯s there to be so proud of? It¡¯s just a free throw win," Zeng Wending muttered sourly as he walked to the paint.


    Jiang Siming ignored him, leisurely making his way beyond the three-point line. To Zeng Wending, it seemed deliberate.


    With an unfriendly look, Zeng Wending threw the ball to Jiang Siming and gestured for him to come forward. Jiang Siming cooperated, dribbling swiftly toward the paint. His movements were lightning-fast, and his ball-handling was even faster, seamlessly switching between behind-the-back and between-the-legs dribbles.


    The basketball seemed magnetized to Jiang Siming¡¯s hands, never leaving his control. Zeng Wending watched Jiang Siming¡¯s every move intently, lowering his stance and spreading his arms in a textbook defensive posture.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s initial steps were all anticipated by Zeng Wending, preventing him from advancing further inside. Zeng Wending felt confident he had blocked Jiang Siming¡¯s path to the basket.


    However, in a split second, Jiang Siming suddenly made a lightning-fast dash forward. Zeng Wending leaned in to block, but Jiang Siming hooked the basketball with one hand just above the ground.


    As soon as he hooked the ball, he spun on the spot, his sneakers producing a sharp squeak on the court floor. While spinning, the ball left Jiang Siming¡¯s hand and bounced in an entirely new direction.


    Zeng Wending instantly realized he was in trouble and scrambled to recover, forcing his large frame to pivot in the opposite direction. But Jiang Siming seemed to be toying with him, spinning again and darting back in the original direction.


    Zeng Wending tried to recover again, but his body¡¯s momentum, coupled with the earlier forced change of direction, left him unable to stabilize. His legs wobbled twice before he crashed heavily to the ground.


    The crowd, both on the court and in the livestream, was utterly stunned. Jiang Siming had just faked out a CBA player so badly that he fell? It sounded like a joke, but the evidence was right in front of them.


    Zeng Wending had been completely fooled by Jiang Siming¡¯s string of fake moves, ultimately ending up on the floor. Meanwhile, Jiang Siming easily approached the basket, leaped, and finished with a slam dunk, scoring the first point.


    On the court, getting faked out and falling is as humiliating as getting your shot blocked. Zeng Wending had suffered a massive loss of face but suppressed his anger as he got up and moved back to the three-point line.


    Grabbing the ball, Zeng Wending charged at Jiang Siming with all his might. He clearly wanted to teach him a lesson.


    Standing at 1.95 meters tall and weighing 190 pounds, Zeng Wending was like a human tank. Playing as a center, his charging presence was immensely intimidating.


    Many spectators began to worry for Jiang Siming, fearing he would get knocked flying if hit.


    "This time, Jiang Siming will probably dodge," they all thought.

 Chapter 296: Three Trending Searches!

    Facing Zeng Wending¡¯s aggressive charge, Jiang Siming did not dodge but instead stood tall, facing the challenge head-on.


    Before anyone could warn Jiang Siming, the two collided.


    Jiang Lan was so scared that she closed her eyes, her face losing its previous rosy color, turning pale. Stay updated via


    Jiang Siming had not moved; it was Zeng Wending who crashed into him, so there was no defensive foul on Jiang Siming¡¯s part.


    Despite the collision, Jiang Siming was fine.


    However, Zeng Wending felt completely different; he felt as if his internal organs had been shaken, and his head was spinning.


    He almost lost his grip on the ball and thought that if he was feeling this bad, Jiang Siming must be even worse.


    But when he turned around, Jiang Siming was standing there with an unchanged expression, looking at him calmly with a mocking smile.


    Zeng Wending was shocked; what kind of monstrous physique did this guy have to remain completely unshaken by his charge?


    Without time to hesitate, as the shot clock was running out, Zeng Wending hastily threw the ball.


    Jiang Siming could tell from the trajectory that it wouldn¡¯t go in, so he didn¡¯t even bother to defend.


    While the ball was still in the air, he was already heading back beyond the three-point line to prepare for the next round.


    Clang!


    The ball missed badly, bouncing off the backboard.


    Booing erupted from the surrounding students.


    Zeng Wending walked dejectedly back to the paint with a dark expression.


    Possession returned to Jiang Siming, who this time mimicked Zeng Wending¡¯s earlier move and charged at him with the ball.@@@@


    Having learned from the previous collision, Zeng Wending was now hesitant.


    He had almost been knocked over earlier, so if Jiang Siming were to crash into him now, wouldn¡¯t he be sent flying?


    Fearing that his nightmare would come true, Zeng Wending quickly stepped aside, letting Jiang Siming pass.


    In desperation, Zeng Wending grabbed Jiang Siming¡¯s jersey, committing a foul.


    Even so, Jiang Siming still managed to release the ball and scored.


    Jiang Siming turned around, shrugged, and said, "Sorry, 2+1."


    Zeng Wending¡¯s foul gave Jiang Siming a free throw opportunity, and since the shot had gone in, it counted as two points plus an additional free throw.


    "I¡¯ll ask you one last time¡ªare you taking off your clothes or not?" Jiang Siming asked coldly.


    "I will... I will..." Zeng Wending finally gave in.


    Despite his towering 195 cm and 200-pound frame, he was easily subdued by Jiang Siming.


    Everyone watching was dumbfounded¡ªJiang Siming had barely touched him, so how did he fall to his knees and scream in agony?


    The comment "Damn, is Ming Shen actually a martial arts expert?" appeared in the chat from a user named "Emperor¡¾Traveling Frog Bro¡¿."


    Despite the eye-catching comment, everyone was too focused on the livestream, and only a few paid attention to it.


    Those who did see it thought Wang Xiaozhang was joking¡ªafter all, martial arts masters only existed in wuxia novels, right?


    Under Jiang Siming¡¯s intimidation, Zeng Wending stripped down to his underwear and ran laps around the court, head hanging low, while over a thousand students watched his ¡¯majestic¡¯ display.


    After running twenty laps, Zeng Wending grabbed his clothes and fled. Huang Yuhao and Zhang Wei had already disappeared, fearing Jiang Siming would come after them for revenge.


    Thus, the basketball livestream ended in such an unexpected way, something even Jiang Siming hadn¡¯t anticipated.


    Instead of his basketball skills being the highlight, the attention was focused on the three naked men.


    The next day, Jiang Siming¡¯s livestream video trended again¡ªthree times!

    These trending topics made the previous night¡¯s incident go completely viral.


    The officials finally responded to the flood of tags from netizens.


    The CBA officially announced that Zeng Wending¡¯s actions had severely damaged their reputation. As a result, he was temporarily suspended, demoted to a substitute, and put on indefinite leave.


    Even Huang Yuhao, who was supposed to attend a youth training camp, had his offer rescinded by the association.


    The Shanghai Police Department also released a statement, confirming that Zeng Wending¡¯s verbal threats posed a potential danger and constituted malicious intimidation. He had been taken in for questioning.

    As for the scene where Jiang Siming pressed down on Zeng Wending and made him kneel.


    In the video, Jiang Siming appeared to use no strength at all, while Zeng Wending looked like he was deliberately faking it. Experience new tales on


    The police examined Zeng Wending¡¯s body and found no injuries, so the police department determined Jiang Siming was innocent.


    Jiang Siming had only used his inner energy to subtly compress the air pressure inside Zeng Wending¡¯s body, causing intense pain without leaving any marks.


    As a result, not only did Jiang Siming face no consequences, but his popularity skyrocketed after completely defeating a CBA player.


    Even the official CBA association tagged him, hoping he would come for a trial, and many other basketball clubs, including foreign scouts, set their sights on Jiang Siming.


    In last night¡¯s video, Jiang Siming¡¯s jumping ability, body coordination, and speed left them all amazed.


    If the video had been clearer and shot from a closer distance, they might have been even more astonished.


    However, Jiang Siming rejected all these opportunities without hesitation.


    He thought it was ridiculous¡ªthis was just one of his many skills, so why should he be tied down by it?


    The next day, when Jiang Siming started his livestream, his popularity peaked once again, with online viewers surpassing 16 million!


    The executives at Douyu were both surprised and delighted. They originally thought that after the Douyu Fans Festival, Jiang Siming had reached his peak and wouldn¡¯t grow further for a long time.


    They believed his fan base had already reached saturation, and the streaming market was stable, so this momentum should have lasted for quite some time.


    But just after a few days?


    Jiang Siming had gained a whole new group of basketball fans, an audience completely unrelated to gaming.


    He already had fans from looks, gaming, singing, and voice acting, and now he had to add basketball fans to the mix.


    As soon as the stream started, the basketball fans surged in and flooded the chat with comments.


    "God Ming, I¡¯m your basketball fan!"


    "Play basketball again! I missed it last night."


    "Have you considered joining the CBA, God Ming?"


    "Why not go to the NBA and play professionally instead of staying here as a small-time streamer?"


    "I want to see your basketball skills again, please!"


    These comments weren¡¯t just a few¡ªthey came in droves.


    Jiang Siming suddenly switched styles, elegantly dribbling between his legs, constantly showing off flamboyant moves, and finally tossing the ball away, bringing a familiar ¡¯CXK¡¯ vibe.


    The audience immediately understood and burst into laughter.


    "23333333..."


    "Red flames, vague and confused."


    "This imitation is spot on. Should we just laugh directly?"


    "Lawyer letter warning for God Ming."


    "Even if the whole world mocks Kun Kun, I¡¯ll stand... with the whole world!"


    "Just kidding, let¡¯s get back to the game!"


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t keep it up for long; he just wanted to make everyone laugh and then stopped.


    As for whether he¡¯d receive a lawyer¡¯s letter? He didn¡¯t care at all.


    A small studio he founded himself wants to challenge him, the new director of Huayi?


    Mocking you is my pleasure; what can you do?


    Perhaps because of this ¡¯basketball performance,¡¯ many basketball fans, even knowing they wouldn¡¯t see Jiang Siming play basketball, were still willing to stay in the stream.


    There¡¯s a popular saying online: "As long as you mock Kun Kun, we are friends."


    The director of "Go Fighting" was also watching Jiang Siming¡¯s live stream and laughed when he saw this part.


    "I knew inviting him was a wise decision. He¡¯s popular, has many achievements and skills, and can create trending moments in real-time. He¡¯s absolutely a natural for variety shows."


    The assistant director next to him reminded him kindly, "That¡¯s not the key point. The key is that he has a big background. He¡¯s the new director of Huayi. Just a few days ago, Wang Zhonglei called and asked us to take good care of him."


    "Isn¡¯t that great? What do you think about pairing him with Reba as a CP? Just like Angelababy and Zheng Kai in ¡¯Running Man¡¯?" the director suggested.


    "It¡¯s possible; they¡¯re both about the same age and very popular. But we don¡¯t know if he¡¯ll agree, and Reba is quite stubborn. Didn¡¯t she refuse to pair with Zheng Kai in ¡¯Running Man¡¯?"


    "Forget it, we¡¯ll talk about it later. First, let¡¯s contact Huang Bo and see if he can make it for the next episode. If not, we need to start preparing alternatives."


    "Well, Huang Lei probably can¡¯t make it due to other commitments, but Huang Bo should be free and able to return."


    After saying that, the assistant director left to get busy.

 Chapter 298: Are the Brothers Heading for Love and War?

    "Extreme Challenge" has been running for five years, and the six guests have spent a lot of time on the show.


    Since they are all actors and singers, they naturally cannot participate in every episode.


    The fifth season of "Extreme Challenge" underwent a major cast change, as Zhang Yixing, Huang Bo, and Sun Honglei had to leave early due to their schedules with other shows and movies.


    They were replaced by Reba, Yue Yunpeng, and Lei Jiayin. Although the effect was good, it still could not match the original cast.


    Moreover... these three are just too silly...


    Reba is adorably dumb, Yue Yunpeng is stiff, and Lei Jiayin is clumsy.


    With both Huang Bo and Huang Lei absent, the Extreme Challenge six-member group was left with only the half-sly, half-foolish Little Pig, while the rest were just a bunch of silly people.


    The show effect became bizarre¡ªwatching a group of ¡¯fools¡¯ doing a show made the humor feel too one-dimensional.


    Unlike the original cast, where Huang Bo and Huang Lei used their intelligence to control the game¡¯s rhythm, Yixing served as the visual and dancer, Honglei and Little Pig created comic relief, and Wang Xun provided a reliable and stable presence.


    Each member had their own role despite the lighthearted atmosphere.


    Now, with the new guests, the show has become all about being ¡¯silly,¡¯ but it lacks the ¡¯smart¡¯ aspect entirely.


    Even Wang Xun, one of the three silly members, could now appear more intelligent compared to them.


    As a result, the show has started to resemble the domestic version of "Running Man," and recent episodes have faced criticism from many viewers.


    Many fans are demanding the return of Huang Lei and the others. However, it¡¯s not that the production team doesn¡¯t want to invite them back¡ªthey are simply too busy to come.


    With no other choice, the production team has been searching for replacements, and Jiang Siming was just one of their picks.


    In fact, Jiang Siming was originally invited as the visual representative and popular figure.


    As for the ¡¯smart¡¯ role, they were still looking for a suitable candidate, but they had to keep filming in the meantime and take things one step at a time.@@@@


    "By the way, before I start the game, I have to let everyone know that I¡¯ll be taking a break. I might not be back for two or three days," Jiang Siming said while entering the game.


    He had to leave for the recording location of "Extreme Challenge" tomorrow, with official shooting starting the day after. He needed a day in advance to familiarize himself with the environment and the process.


    "Taking such a long break? No way, we¡¯ll miss you!"


    "If you¡¯re not streaming, I don¡¯t feel like watching anything else now."


    "Be honest, are you going to chase girls?"


    "Is it that girl who hugged you at the basketball court last night? She was gorgeous!"


    "Ming, are you planning to be a player? If so, count me in!"


    It seemed that ever since the first day of Jiang Siming¡¯s trial, Little Salty Fish had been grinding levels and managing the guild diligently.


    "Thanks to Miss Little Salty Fish for your hard work managing the Booger Guild. As the guild master, I¡¯m so relieved. Here¡¯s a gift for you!"


    Jiang Siming, feeling warm-hearted, bought her a mage staff with +12 gems, worth tens of thousands, and gifted it to her without hesitation.


    The moment Jiang Siming logged in, the previously 20,000 online guild members shot up to over 80,000, with many rushing to turn on their computers or head to internet cafes.


    However, Jiang Siming did not stay for too long; after playing for about an hour, he logged off. Playing with the guild members, doing some quests, and leveling up was still very enjoyable.


    After logging out of "Demons and Gods 2," Jiang Siming logged into "PUBG" as usual.


    Even though there were no tournaments, Jiang Siming would still find time to play. Even if the drop rate was low, it was still better than nothing.


    A low drop rate was still better than getting nothing at all¡ªevery little bit counted.


    Upon entering the game, Jiang Siming chose to play solo as usual.


    Although many viewers wanted to see him play on the Korean server with female players, he still preferred solo play.


    Solo play was more free and enjoyable.


    Jiang Siming had no idea that Wei Shen, who was streaming on Huya, had just entered the game as well.


    The two ended up in the same match but were completely unaware of it.


    As the plane took off and the desert map loaded, Jiang Siming chose to drop at the mansion location.


    Wei Shen, feeling equally confident, also flew toward the mansion.


    A few viewers who switched between both platforms noticed this and immediately flooded the chat.


    Soon, many viewers confirmed the situation and began shouting in both stream chats.


    The audience was thrilled¡ªJiang Siming and Wei Shen had matched into the same game, both playing solo and landing at the same spot.

    They loved watching the drama of their friendly rivalry unfold.


    "No way, did Old Jiang actually end up in my match? Damn! It really is him; no one else could parachute that fast!"


    When Wei Shen opened his parachute and saw the landing figure, he immediately knew it was Jiang Siming.


    Wei Shen wanted to cry and escape, but since he had already opened his parachute, it was impossible to fly somewhere else.

 Chapter 299: Lucky Connection

    "Damn it, I¡¯m going all out against Lao Jiang." GodV finally chose not to resign to fate and descended.


    However, he landed on the opposite side, far away from Jiang Siming. He knew all too well what the fastest lander, Jiang Siming, would do.


    Bang! Bang! Bang...


    "Player [4am_ming] used an AK rifle to kill player [Sakura]"


    "Player [4am_ming] used an AK rifle to kill player [Moppet]"


    "Player [4am_ming] used an AK rifle to kill player [Yaaa]"


    Seeing these kill notifications, GodV had an expression as if he had expected it all along.


    "See that? Good thing I didn¡¯t land next to him. I better fly even farther and loot some guns in the stables."


    GodV decisively abandoned the mansion¡¯s rich loot, feeling fortunate enough just to survive, fearing that if he got too close, Jiang Siming would gun him down in an instant.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Siming went on a killing spree inside the mansion, taking down one ordinary player after another, quickly turning the once lively mansion into a quiet zone.


    "This guy is seriously fierce." GodV hid behind a stone wall and witnessed everything that happened in the mansion firsthand.


    Only now did GodV fully understand the mindset of professional players who faced Jiang Siming¡ªit¡¯s like encountering an unstoppable demon. Fighting against him meant you wouldn¡¯t gain any advantage at all.


    GodV was relieved that Jiang Siming was on his side. Otherwise, he¡¯d be forced into retirement, just like in League of Legends.


    Jiang Siming had practically cleared out the mansion, killing eight players without a single fragment drop. In tournament matches, two kills almost always guaranteed a fragment drop.


    Truly, there¡¯s no contrast without comparison.


    However, Jiang Siming was mentally prepared for this. He quickly adjusted his mindset and prepared to leave.


    As he passed a stone wall outside, he heard faint footsteps!


    Since Jiang Siming was playing in FPP mode, the opponent couldn¡¯t use third-person peeking. If they wanted to ambush him, they had to step out from behind cover.


    Moreover, to stay hidden, the attacker had to remain behind cover until Jiang Siming¡¯s footsteps got closer. If he could hear their footsteps, they could definitely hear his too. rA?o?B¦¥S?


    With lightning-fast reflexes, Jiang Siming pre-aimed his gun, ready to fire the moment the opponent showed up.


    GodV was now in an awkward position. He had planned an ambush, but Jiang Siming had already detected him...


    "Lao Jiang, don¡¯t shoot, it¡¯s me!" GodV had no choice but to turn on team voice chat and shout.


    The mighty GodV was now begging for mercy in such an embarrassing way.


    His 7911 fanbase expressed their disdain for him¡ªwas this really their idol? Why had the pig¡¯s head lost its toughness?


    But GodV didn¡¯t know that Jiang Siming had not turned on his mic. Seeing that Jiang Siming was still aiming at him, he continued shouting.


    "Lao Jiang, I¡¯m your captain, don¡¯t shoot!"


    Unexpectedly, Wei Shen¡¯s loot box even dropped a white fragment.


    "Awei, you¡¯re really generous to me."


    "Picked up [Lucky Connection] white fragment *1 (1/3), incomplete fragments cannot be used yet."


    **[Lucky Connection]**: Allows random matchmaking with public players currently playing the game, such as pro gamers, streamers, singers, actors, celebrities, and other well-known figures.


    "A skill like this?"


    Jiang Siming hadn¡¯t expected it at all. With this fragment, his chances of matching with famous players would significantly increase¡ªpretty useful.


    Putting the fragment away, Jiang Siming laughed and said to Wei Shen, who hadn¡¯t left the game yet, "Awei, your loot is really nice."


    "Scram, scram, scram! Damn you, don¡¯t let me match with you next time, or I¡¯ll make you cry!" Wei Shen said irritably. Enjoy new adventures from


    "Don¡¯t be mad, it¡¯s not the first time I¡¯ve killed you. You¡¯ll get used to it."


    "Listen to what this guy is saying, does he even sound human?" Wei Shen laughed and cursed.


    Of course, the two wouldn¡¯t actually argue over something this trivial; it was all part of their mutual understanding for entertainment purposes.


    "Wanna duo queue?" Wei Shen ¡¯cursed¡¯ and then shamelessly asked Jiang Siming to queue with him.


    "Sure, I¡¯ll exit the game."


    Jiang Siming took the fragment and directly exited the game, even though he had top-tier equipment.


    Seeing this, the audience, who had initially felt Jiang Siming was too heartless, immediately changed their opinion.


    Jiang Siming and Wei Shen teamed up for duo matches.


    One had to admit, Wei Shen could really eat. Not long after they started playing, he said he was hungry and ordered a family bucket meal. Less than two hours after finishing, he was hungry again and ordered a 12-inch Pizza Hut pizza.


    Throughout the duo matches, Jiang Siming constantly heard Wei Shen¡¯s chewing noises.


    After three hours and winning five chicken dinners, Jiang Siming finally collected all the pieces of **[Lucky Connection]**.


    In addition, he also gathered the final piece of **[Photography Mastery]**, completing both skills.


    Feeling satisfied, Jiang Siming logged off to rest.


    The next morning, just as the sun was rising, Jiang Siming woke up to find Yin Zhirou packing his luggage.


    She had thoughtfully prepared all the essentials for his trip.


    "Having a girlfriend is great," Jiang Siming grinned and went over to hug Yin Zhirou, taking every chance he could to get a little closer.


    After breakfast, Jiang Siming grabbed his suitcase and embarked on his **"Go Fighting"** journey.

 Chapter 300: Chongqing Wulong

    Chongqing Wulong.


    A light drizzle was still falling.


    At a parking lot in a scenic area, a few figures arrived one after another.


    The participants from previous episodes had all arrived.


    Xun Ge, Xiao Zhu, Xiao Yue, Lei Jia, and Re Ba were all present.


    "Huh, why are there fewer people today?"


    The one speaking was the only female guest present, Re Ba, a popular celebrity in recent years.


    This artist, cultivated by Yang Mi¡¯s studio, had a huge fan base and solid popularity.


    A beautiful girl from Xinjiang, with a slender waist, curvy hips, and long legs, she had an elegant, fresh, and exotic charm.


    She was dressed simply, wearing a sleeveless knit striped shirt with a blue outer garment to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions.


    On her feet were a pair of small white shoes, both lightweight and stylish.


    In fact, as soon as Re Ba joined the show, Mian Yang and Xiao Zhu had secretly been trying to get close to her for several episodes.


    To some extent, men from the mainland had a special fascination for exotic beauties like her.


    "This time, Yixing and Lei Ge have other commitments and can¡¯t make it, but I heard from the director that a new guest has been arranged for us today," Xiao Zhu quickly explained to Re Ba.


    With Mian Yang absent this episode, Xiao Zhu was feeling quite pleased. Being in close proximity, he felt he had the upper hand now.


    In terms of looks, Wang Xun, Xiao Yue, and Lei Jiayin were no match for him, and he was also more quick-witted.


    Wasn¡¯t this the perfect opportunity to showcase his charm to the fullest? Discover hidden stories at


    Thinking about it, Xiao Zhu was secretly delighted.


    "A new guest? Who is it? Director, tell us!" Wang Xun asked curiously, and everyone eagerly waited.


    "Could it be Zhi Ling?"


    "I think it might be Bing Bing."


    "No, no, I believe it¡¯s Liu Yan!"


    The men let their imaginations run wild, although it was clear they were just using this as an excuse to voice their personal preferences.


    Hearing this, everyone finally realized.


    If anyone had been in the news frequently lately, appearing on trending searches almost every day, it wasn¡¯t a celebrity involved in scandals or a superstar.


    Instead, it was an outsider to the entertainment industry.


    This person had been all over Weibo trending searches, appearing like clockwork every few days.


    The day before yesterday, he dominated the Weibo trending list, with three out of the top ten entries being about him.


    It was now hard for Lei Jiayin and the others not to know who he was.


    Everyone was equally surprised¡ªthey never expected the show to invite someone like him.


    It wasn¡¯t that they thought Jiang Siming was low-profile; they just believed that since he wasn¡¯t from the entertainment industry, would he really be able to handle his first variety show appearance?


    Even though he had done live streaming before, variety shows and live streaming were two entirely different things. They doubted whether Jiang Siming could even follow the cameras and positioning cues.


    However, since the production team had already invited him, whether he could keep up with the pace of the show was no longer their concern¡ªit was his own problem to solve.


    Setting that aside, the five of them were also curious about Jiang Siming, curious about what this young man, who had recently become so famous yet was still a stranger to them, actually looked like.


    His recent popularity was no less than that of Xu Kun, with news about him everywhere.


    However, compared to Xu Kun¡ªwho was universally criticized, constantly attacked online, and had countless haters¡ªJiang Siming was entirely different.


    Every trending topic about him was purely organic, without any marketing tactics; netizens had pushed him to the top on their own.


    Moreover, his accomplishments were enough to earn everyone¡¯s admiration.


    Shortly after the director finished speaking, a tall figure appeared at the far end of the scenic area, slowly approaching from a distance.


    When everyone finally saw his appearance, Reba was the first to blush, followed by the male members who, despite their words, couldn¡¯t help but acknowledge his looks.


    In their hearts, they admitted that Jiang Siming was indeed more handsome than them, but with a female present, their male pride wouldn¡¯t allow them to concede so easily.


    Meanwhile, Little Pig felt an intense sense of crisis¡ªone even greater than when Sheep Xing was around!


    "So handsome~" Reba said shyly, covering her mouth, her big eyes curving into crescent moons.


    There was no need for any post-production effects; just looking into her eyes, one could already see hearts everywhere.


    "Hello everyone, I¡¯m Jiang Siming. It¡¯s an honor to join this show."


    Jiang Siming¡¯s introduction was formal and humble¡ªof course, they wouldn¡¯t think the same way later.

 Chapter 301: Boxing Early in the Morning?

    Everyone responded politely to Jiang Siming and greeted him in a friendly manner.


    "Hello, Hidden Superstar, I really like your song *Old Boy*, it¡¯s very touching," Wang Xun was the first to interact with Jiang Siming. Being an honest person, he didn¡¯t feel envious of others.


    "Thank you, Brother Xun."


    Jiang Siming also had a good impression of Wang Xun. Wang Xun was the type who could endure hardships, was diligent and honest, and willing to play a supporting role in the show. He had even served in the military for many years.


    Among the Extreme Men¡¯s Team, Jiang Siming¡¯s favorite member was Wang Xun, followed by Huang Bo.


    Lei Jiayin, Yue Yunpeng, and Xiao Zhu also greeted Jiang Siming, but since they didn¡¯t know much about him, they exchanged only a few pleasantries before the conversation ended.


    This is where emotional intelligence comes into play. If Huang Lei or Huang Bo were here, they would have chatted with the new guest for a while.


    But these guys weren¡¯t good at that. If they didn¡¯t know someone, they had no topics to talk about, and without topics, there wasn¡¯t much to say.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t mind; this was within his expectations.


    It was well known that the regular guests of *Go Fighting!* were resistant to temporary guests because very few could truly fit in.


    Unless they were honest and good-natured like Sha Yi, who could endure their teasing, it was difficult to integrate.


    However, Jiang Siming had no intention of playing such a role. He was here to have fun, not to sacrifice himself for the show. In fact, he came with the mindset of dominating others.


    Since he was here to have fun, he might as well enjoy himself and make the most of the days spent here.


    When it was Reba¡¯s turn, she shyly said to Jiang Siming, "I heard from Chen He that you¡¯re really good at *PUBG*. I love playing it too, but I¡¯m terrible. Could you teach me when you have time?"


    Jiang Siming smiled and said, "No problem, it¡¯s a piece of cake."


    "Thank you, hehe." Reba was thrilled to get his agreement. She was looking forward to improving her gaming skills, and she found Jiang Siming¡¯s voice very soothing and pleasant to hear.


    She didn¡¯t want to keep being the noob who dies as soon as she lands. Even Mi Jie was better than her...


    "*PUBG*? I¡¯ve heard of that game. My friends love playing it. Reba, if you like it, you should have told me. I¡¯ll practice hard when I get back and carry you. I have great gaming talent," Xiao Zhu interjected proudly.


    Reba looked at him helplessly and said, "Do you even know who he is? He¡¯s a world champion, the top player in this game. Are you sure your talent can surpass his?"


    "Umm... I don¡¯t think it should be a big problem. I¡¯ll do some research when I get back," Xiao Zhu stammered in defeat.


    With Jiang Siming joining the team, the show once again had six participants. Read new chapters at


    Yue Yunpeng, Lei Jiayin, and Reba were regular cast members, while Xiao Zhu and Wang Xun were long-time participants in the show.


    Only Jiang Siming was a guest for this episode, staying temporarily.


    Everyone thought he was just another young celebrity invited by the show, likely meant to replace Sheep Xing.


    Yes, that was what the production team initially thought as well.


    After a brief chat among the six, the director spoke up, "I have six mission cards here, ranging from easy to difficult. Who gets the easiest one will depend on your skills." ?ANO?B§¦?


    "I want to try too!" Reba was eager to give it a shot. Since she was a girl, no one would criticize her no matter how low her score was.


    Wearing the gloves, Reba swung a punch at the target plate with all her might, but she missed and hit the air instead...


    Hahaha...


    "Reba¡¯s score is out: 0 points. Adding the 50% base bonus, which is 50% of 0, it¡¯s still 0."


    Jiang Siming announced the results, making everyone laugh even more.


    "No... that was a mistake. You¡¯re so mean, calling me 0 points." Reba pouted in dissatisfaction, but her gaze had no real hostility.


    Maybe it was because Jiang Siming was so handsome that she couldn¡¯t bring herself to be angry...


    "I¡¯ll give you another chance," the director generously said.


    Receiving the order, Reba tried again, and this time she hit the target.


    "410!"


    Wow!


    That¡¯s a high score!


    For a girl to punch with 410 pounds of force, no wonder fans call her a "strong girl." Little Pig¡¯s confidence immediately took a hit.


    Because 410 plus the 50-pound bonus made it 460, which was higher than his score.


    "Hehe, see that?" Reba waved her little fist at Jiang Siming, looking quite triumphant.


    Jiang Siming clapped his hands cooperatively and said, "Impressive, impressive. I admire you."


    Reba giggled proudly, her little face beaming with joy.


    Next, Yue Yunpeng stepped up. Everyone thought, given his heavyweight build, he should score high. But with a loud thud, he only managed to hit 390, making everyone burst into laughter.


    "I wasn¡¯t ready, director, give me another chance," Yue Yunpeng blushed, and the director generously agreed.


    Thud! Another punch!


    "391."


    "Your effort only added one pound. That¡¯s quite heartbreaking," Jiang Siming commented from the side, delivering a verbal knockout that made everyone laugh uncontrollably.


    Even the director was surprised by Jiang Siming¡¯s quick wit. This newcomer seemed very suitable for variety shows. Not only was he completely at ease, but he also inserted comments seamlessly without any pressure.


    Most importantly, every line hit the mark and the funny spot. In variety shows, flexible and quick-thinking guests were exactly what was needed.


    What they didn¡¯t know was that Jiang Siming already possessed the **[Variety Talent]**¡ªhe could handle any situation with ease.

 Chapter 302: Respective Tasks

    Next, Lei Jiayin and Wang Xun both tried. Lei Jiayin scored [470], while Wang Xun had the highest score of [500].


    "If nothing unexpected happens, Xun-ge, you¡¯re definitely first," Piggy congratulated his old friend.


    "Haha, I think so too," Wang Xun said confidently.


    Now only Jiang Siming was left, and everyone turned their eyes to him.


    The young man looked tall, but height had nothing to do with strength, and not even weight¡ªcould height really be a factor?


    Yue Yunpeng had just demonstrated this point himself. No matter how much weight he carried, it didn¡¯t help him much...


    "It¡¯s your turn now. You laughed at me earlier, but if your score isn¡¯t higher than mine, don¡¯t cry when I laugh at you," Reba teased mischievously.


    "Not possible at all, stop imagining things, fantasy girl."


    Jiang Siming chuckled and put on the gloves. Then, with what seemed like a relaxed punch, he struck the force plate.


    Bang!


    A loud noise echoed as the force plate let out a groan and fell.


    Stay tuned for updates on


    The entire punching machine lit up with red lights¡ªsomething that only happened when a record was broken.


    On the display screen, an astonishing number appeared.


    "1210!"


    Wow!


    Everyone was stunned.


    Even the director and cameramen were shocked.


    When the machine was delivered yesterday, they had all tested it. The highest score was 655, achieved by a burly cameraman who had practiced boxing before. That result had already amazed everyone back then.


    But now, 1210? That was almost double what the cameraman had achieved!


    "The machine must be broken!"


    "How is this possible?"


    "Try again, I don¡¯t believe it."


    Piggy and the others couldn¡¯t believe their eyes. Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even seem to exert much effort; he had just stood there and casually thrown a punch¡ªhow could that result in 1200 pounds? Nonsense! R??a?oB§¦?@@@@


    Jiang Siming, on the other hand, showed a regretful smile after punching. If he had known earlier, he would have used even less strength.


    "Why is my life so hard~" Yue Yunpeng cried out to the sky, blaming himself for not having enough strength. Otherwise, he could have at least gotten the fish-selling job.


    As for why this episode¡¯s tasks were so scattered and seemingly random, the director provided an explanation.


    "Today¡¯s theme is ¡¯Chongqing Tour.¡¯ Of course, our show has a limited budget, so we have to rely on you to earn your own keep."


    Everyone rolled their eyes at the director. Extreme Challenge had never been a show with a sufficient budget.


    "These are your tasks for the morning. You must complete them before twelve o¡¯clock, so hurry up and get started!"


    As soon as the director finished speaking, everyone sprang into action.


    Fortunately, the production team was considerate enough to provide them with vehicles. If they had to figure out transportation themselves, the guests would probably have staged a rebellion.


    The six of them got on the bus, which felt like a miserable team-building event. The content of this team-building? Working to earn money. What a challenge.


    Everyone envied Jiang Siming¡¯s task, which seemed so much better than theirs¡ªalmost too good to be true.


    "I don¡¯t think it¡¯ll be that easy. Since everyone else has a money-making task, I probably won¡¯t be an exception. My task is most likely food-related work."


    Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t falling for the production team¡¯s tricks. He had watched Extreme Challenge before, and if a task seemed too easy, it wouldn¡¯t be the real deal.


    "Xiao Jiang has experience. Looks like you know our show well," Wang Xun said with a smile.


    "So, are you willing to trade with me, Jiang bro?" Yue Yunpeng asked hopefully.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t refuse outright but replied, "Let me check it out first. If I think it doesn¡¯t suit me, I¡¯ll trade with you."


    "Alright, alright! I¡¯ll wait for that," Yue Yunpeng was satisfied with this answer. At least it gave him a glimmer of hope.


    The bus dropped them off at their respective destinations, with Yue Yunpeng being the first to get off.


    Curious, everyone got off to take a look at his task¡ªan entire pile of goods!


    All he was given was a carrying pole, and he needed to deliver those goods to different shops.


    "Guys, can you help me..." Yue Yunpeng had just started speaking when Jiang Siming took the lead in running back onto the bus. The others followed suit in an instant, and within two seconds, everyone was back on board with the doors shut tight.


    "Driver, step on it!" Jiang Siming shouted playfully.


    The bus sped off, leaving Yue Yunpeng standing there in shock, unable to finish his sentence.


    Hahaha...


    Wang Xun and the others burst into laughter. This show was all about having fun, and pranking teammates was part of the game.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s antics were classic veteran style¡ªexpert at messing with teammates.

 Chapter 305: That Counts as Decoration, Right?

    "I have no choice either. How come you¡¯re only wearing a mask and not afraid of being recognized?" Xiaozhu was shocked when he saw that Jiang Siming was only wearing a mask.


    Jiang Siming shrugged and said, "I can¡¯t help it. My fame is too small, so people don¡¯t recognize me, and I don¡¯t need to disguise myself."


    "Nonsense! So many people watch your livestreams. How could they not recognize you? You must not have shown your face much in your streams, so not many people know what you look like."


    Xiaozhu was smart and guessed it right away.


    "I¡¯m not here to chat with you. Pay up! Two loads of frozen fish, a total of 150 yuan." Jiang Siming reached out to Xiaozhu.


    Jiang Siming had a mischievous smile on his face, and the production crew secretly laughed.


    These two boxes were clearly only worth 50 yuan, yet this guy was asking for an outrageous price.


    But the production team wouldn¡¯t expose him¡ªthis was the highlight!


    Not playing by the rules was the essence of *Go Fighting!*


    The reason why the ratings for the first few episodes of this season were so low was that Honglei was gone, and new guests like Yue Yunpeng were too well-behaved. There was nothing exciting!


    These two boxes were actually meant for Xiaozhu¡¯s stall.@@@@


    "150? Why don¡¯t you just rob me? I¡¯ve only made a little over 200 this entire morning! If I give it all to you, I¡¯ll have nothing left!" Xiaozhu shouted.


    "Do you have any idea how heavy these two boxes are? Here, you try carrying them. If you can carry them around the market once, I¡¯ll give you 150 instead. How about that?"


    "Really? I¡¯ll do it!" Hearing that he could earn money, Xiaozhu immediately refused to back down and went to pick up Jiang Siming¡¯s carrying pole. The moment he lifted it, he wilted.


    He used all his strength just to barely lift the two boxes, but after taking only two steps, he quickly put them down, rubbing his aching shoulders.


    "Damn, this is way too heavy! How did you carry it here?"


    Xiaozhu looked at his own shoulders¡ªthey were already red and swollen.


    As a celebrity who had never done any physical labor since childhood, this was his first time using a carrying pole, and his shoulders simply couldn¡¯t handle it.


    For people who had never used a carrying pole before, it was extremely difficult to get used to at first. Their shoulders were too tender, and even a little weight could cause immense pain.


    "Now you understand how hard it is for me to earn this money, right?" Jiang Siming wiped the sweat from his forehead, putting on a ¡¯pitiful¡¯ expression.


    "Wasn¡¯t your task to eat?"


    "I switched with Yue Yunpeng," Jiang Siming replied.


    "Respect! Just for doing this hard labor, I¡¯ll pay you!" Xiaozhu said, counting out 150 yuan for Jiang Siming.


    "I was just clarifying that I¡¯m not ¡¯renovatedit wasn¡¯t for you, got it?!" Reba huffed, embarrassed.


    "Whatever you say. Anyway, your shop looks nice. How many clothes have you sold so far?" Jiang Siming swiftly changed the topic, scanning the store.


    "I¡¯ve only sold six pieces. The boss only gives me a 20-yuan commission per item, so I¡¯ve only made 120 yuan so far. What about you?"


    "Me? I haven¡¯t counted yet. Let me check."


    As he spoke, Jiang Siming pulled out the money he had just earned from his pocket. There were ten-yuan, twenty-yuan, fifty-yuan, and even a few hundred-yuan bills.


    A thick wad of cash filled his hand, leaving Reba gaping in shock.


    "How did you make so much money? Wasn¡¯t your task just to eat? People are actually paying you to eat?"


    "In your dreams. I swapped tasks with Yue Yunpeng. I became a porter for him and carried thousands of pounds of goods. This is my hard-earned blood and sweat money."


    Jiang Siming counted¡ª625 in total. Not bad, this job actually paid off.


    "I¡¯m so jealous. You made so much, and I¡¯ve only earned 120. I can¡¯t even sell my clothes." Reba sighed in frustration.


    "If you want to sell faster, I do have a way," Jiang Siming said leisurely, tilting his head back.


    "What way? Tell me quickly!"


    "I can tell you, but we¡¯ll split the profits fifty-fifty from now on. I¡¯ll even help you sell. Deal?" Jiang Siming was always looking for ways to hustle others.


    "How do I know you can really sell that many?" Reba asked.


    "Alright, how about this? There are three hours left. If I help you sell at least 30 pieces in that time, you split the earnings with me. Sound fair?" Jiang Siming proposed.


    "Deal!" Reba agreed immediately. If he could really sell that many, she¡¯d still be making a profit even after splitting it with him.


    "OK, but we need an initial investment of 100 yuan. To show my sincerity, I¡¯ll cover it first. If we make a profit, you just reimburse me 50. That way, we¡¯re both investing equally."


    "Alright, it¡¯s a deal." Reba nodded in agreement.


    She didn¡¯t think Jiang Siming was being stingy¡ªon the contrary, this approach made her feel more involved.


    Unlike other men who would be overly accommodating, Jiang Siming¡¯s natural and unpretentious attitude made her feel at ease.


    Other men who were overly attentive always gave her the sense that they had an agenda, and that feeling was strong.


    But with Jiang Siming, there was none of that. It was as if this guy didn¡¯t see her as a celebrity or a beauty at all.

 Chapter 306: Pig Brain Can’t Figure It Out

    "Take this money. Even if we lose it, we should both take responsibility." Reba readily handed fifty yuan to Jiang Siming.@@@@


    "You¡¯re straightforward! Alright, wait here, I¡¯ll be right back." Jiang Siming said and then left.


    As soon as he left, Reba received a call from Luo Zhixiang, asking how her sales were going.


    Reba told him about Jiang Siming¡¯s plan to help her make money. Piggy immediately slapped his thigh in anger and said, "Reba, you¡¯ve been tricked! He¡¯s scamming you!"


    "How could that be? It¡¯s just fifty yuan." Reba didn¡¯t believe it.


    "I¡¯m serious! This guy just scammed me out of a hundred! I asked the director and found out that he only got paid fifty for carrying goods for me, but he charged me 150! I haven¡¯t even confronted him yet!" Piggy fumed.


    He never expected that, as a veteran who had been on the show for four seasons, he would get scammed by a newcomer. What a disgrace!


    "No way... would he really scam me too?" Reba started to waver.


    Just as she was thinking about it, Jiang Siming returned.


    "He¡¯s back, he didn¡¯t scam me. Piggy, I¡¯m hanging up now."


    Knowing that Jiang Siming hadn¡¯t deceived her, Reba was happy and instinctively took his side. Afraid Piggy would confront him, she quickly ended the call.


    Meanwhile, Piggy was still squatting at the fish stall, feeling utterly defeated.


    "They¡¯ve only known each other for half a day, and Reba is already treating him better than me?"


    Piggy couldn¡¯t figure it out. His pig brain just couldn¡¯t process it...


    On the other side, Jiang Siming returned with a pile of iPhone models.


    "Why did you buy so many phone models?" Reba asked in confusion.


    "You¡¯ll see soon. Go put these models inside the clothes, the more expensive the clothing, the better." Jiang Siming instructed as he started placing them himself.


    Although Reba still didn¡¯t understand his plan, she followed his instructions.


    What else could she do? She had already paid up and boarded this pirate ship, so she could only trust Jiang Siming for now. Explore more adventures at ?¦Á?O?bE??


    The two of them placed more than twenty phone models into the pockets of over twenty pieces of clothing.


    "Where did you buy these models? They look so real, even the weight feels like a real phone." Reba said.


    "Right across from this mall. I saw them while I was making deliveries earlier."


    Jiang Siming, however, was focused on making the sale.


    Finally, under his persuasion, the customer decided to try on the jacket. As soon as he put it on, he noticed something was off¡ªthere was something in the pocket.


    Jiang Siming pretended not to see and turned away to arrange other clothes.


    The customer took the item out of the pocket and found it was a phone. He quickly glanced at Jiang Siming and Reba, seeing that neither of them had noticed.


    After a brief internal struggle, he quietly put the phone back into the pocket and continued trying on the jacket as if nothing had happened.


    After wearing it for a while, he finally nodded and said, "I¡¯ll take this one. How much?"


    Reba was just about to say the price when Jiang Siming leaned in and whispered, "How much is this jacket?"


    "180."


    Jiang Siming immediately told the customer, "230!"


    "So expensive?"


    "It¡¯s not expensive, bro. If you don¡¯t like it, you can pick another one, but the price really can¡¯t go lower," Jiang Siming said with a troubled expression.


    Hearing that he might have to change clothes, the customer quickly nodded, "Then I¡¯ll take this one."


    "This one, right? Let me get you a new one," Jiang Siming said, pretending to be considerate.


    "No, no need! This one is great!" The customer quickly refused¡ªno way, what if a new one didn¡¯t have a phone inside?


    He quickly paid and left, and Jiang Siming effortlessly made 230 yuan.


    Reba laughed happily and said, "How can people be so greedy? Now I finally understand what these phone models are for. But... are you sure this is okay? Isn¡¯t this kind of tricking the customer?"


    "First, we didn¡¯t trick him¡ªit was his own greed. If he had just returned the phone, there wouldn¡¯t have been any issue, right? Second, we charged a little extra for the jacket because of the phone model, which is also a small lesson for him. It¡¯s actually good for him."


    Jiang Siming then turned to the production team with a smile and added, "Third, I trust that if our method wasn¡¯t appropriate, the show¡¯s crew would cover for us, so don¡¯t worry."


    There was absolutely no flaw in his reasoning. The production team, afraid of damaging the clothing store¡¯s reputation, made sure to refund customers afterward whenever someone "took the bait."


    But they were truly in awe of Jiang Siming¡¯s sharp mind¡ªhow was this guy so familiar with variety show tactics?


    They couldn¡¯t figure it out. Their brains just couldn¡¯t keep up.

 Chapter 307: Little Tagalong

    The two of them quickly sold 30 pieces of clothing in just two hours using this method.


    Reba was so happy that she couldn¡¯t stop smiling, her bright white teeth practically dazzling.


    Of course, not all customers bought the clothes out of greed¡ªmany chose to return the phone when they found it.


    This showed Jiang Siming and Reba the good morals of the people of Chongqing.


    Later, most of the clothes sold were thanks to Jiang Siming¡¯s good looks.


    After selling so many clothes, Reba was satisfied and finished work early.


    Calculating the money, each piece of clothing earned them 20 yuan, totaling 600 yuan. Jiang Siming and Reba each got 300 yuan.


    "You¡¯re a little rich lady now, I didn¡¯t lie to you, did I?" Jiang Siming asked with a smile.


    Reba giggled and stuffed the money into her small pocket, afraid of losing it.


    "The morning¡¯s work is finally done. I wonder what tasks we¡¯ll have in the afternoon," Reba speculated.


    "It¡¯ll probably still be work in the afternoon."


    "Ugh, what if I don¡¯t want to work anymore..." Reba said pitifully. Having to wear ugly makeup and stay in the shop was exhausting.


    "That¡¯s easy," Jiang Siming replied.


    "Really? I don¡¯t have to work?" Reba asked in surprise.@@@@


    Jiang Siming nodded and said, "Here¡¯s the plan: you buy a bowl, I¡¯ll bring you along, you hold the bowl, I¡¯ll do the knocking, and you do the begging. We¡¯ll be our own bosses."


    Pfft!


    Reba rolled her eyes at Jiang Siming, unable to hold back her laughter. She had no idea where he came up with these ridiculous ideas.


    "So what are we doing now?" Reba asked.


    Jiang Siming looked at her in surprise and said, "What do you mean ¡¯we¡¯? It¡¯s just you now. Why are you dragging me along? Our partnership has ended. What, you as an investor still want to cling to me?"


    Reba could hardly believe her ears. Hey, why did it feel like he was so eager to get rid of her?


    She was a gorgeous woman who wanted to stick with him, yet he wasn¡¯t even willing...


    "Then what are you going to do?" Reba asked.


    "Me? Of course, I¡¯m going to watch other people work. It¡¯s not mealtime yet, so how can I not enjoy the joy of getting off work early?" Jiang Siming said matter-of-factly.


    "Then I want to go too, take me with you!"


    "Hey, Xiao Jiang." Wang Xun¡¯s voice came through.


    "Brother Xun, how¡¯s the taxi business going?" Jiang Siming asked.


    "Ugh, don¡¯t even mention it. The roads in Chongqing are too confusing. I keep struggling to find my customers¡¯ locations. So far, I¡¯ve only completed three rides, with seven still pending. What about you?" Wang Xun said.


    "I finished work early and even picked up a little freeloader. We¡¯re planning to check out Yue Yunpeng. How about this¡ªwe¡¯ll book a ride with you and pay the usual fare. Sound good?"


    Behind him, Reba stomped her feet angrily and waved her little fists ¡¯ferociously¡¯ at Jiang Siming¡¯s back. Who¡¯s the freeloader here?!


    "That¡¯d be great! Where are you? I¡¯ll come pick you up now," Wang Xun replied happily.


    Jiang Siming gave him the location, then waited by the roadside. Reba, still fuming, turned her head away, refusing to talk to him.


    "He must have noticed that I¡¯m mad, right? He should come coax me, right? As long as he coaxes me, I¡¯ll forgive him..."


    Reba¡¯s mind was racing with thoughts, but after waiting for a while, Jiang Siming remained silent.


    She turned her head curiously, only to find that Jiang Siming was no longer beside her.


    At some point, he had walked over to an elderly woman selling vegetables at a small roadside stall outside the mall. He was talking to her about something.


    The old woman wore patched-up clothes. She couldn¡¯t afford to rent a stall at the market, so she had to sell her homegrown vegetables by the roadside.


    Curious, Reba walked over and overheard Jiang Siming saying, "Grandma, I¡¯ll buy all of your vegetables. Can you tell me how much in total?"


    Hearing this, the old woman beamed with joy and started calculating. She held up five fingers, indicating fifty yuan. Jiang Siming handed over the money without hesitation and helped her pack up the vegetables.


    Seeing this, Reba immediately stepped forward to help and whispered to Jiang Siming, "Can I also give Grandma some money?"


    "No! Are you out of your mind?"


    Jiang Siming rejected her outright, his tone unexpectedly harsh.


    Reba was stunned by his sudden scolding. She remained frozen in place, even after Jiang Siming finished helping the elderly woman leave. She was still crouched on the ground, unmoving.


    "What, are you mad now?" Jiang Siming walked back and asked.


    Reba didn¡¯t respond, keeping her head down. She looked so aggrieved that her eyes had turned red.


    Jiang Siming realized he had been a bit too harsh earlier.


    So he crouched down and spoke in a much gentler tone, "Grandma is out here selling vegetables because she wants to earn money through her hard work, not rely on people¡¯s sympathy. If you just hand her money for no reason, you¡¯re treating her like a beggar. That¡¯s really disrespectful, understand?"


    "But... I just wanted to..."

 Chapter 308: Variety Show Genius!

    "I know what you¡¯re thinking. You saw that grandma selling vegetables was struggling and wanted to help her, right?" Jiang Siming said, going along with her thoughts.


    "Mm!"


    Jiang Siming continued, "But this depends on the person. If you see a beggar, I wouldn¡¯t object to you giving them money. But she isn¡¯t a beggar. Giving money recklessly is an insult."


    "Think about it from another perspective. You¡¯re really popular right now. If I told you that people only like you because you¡¯re pretty, not because of your work, would you be happy?"


    "No!" Reba answered without hesitation.


    "Then there you have it. It¡¯s the same logic." Jiang Siming spread his hands.


    "So what were you talking about for so long just now?"


    "Of course, I was discussing with grandma how to sell her vegetables and whether she could give me a little discount. That way, she would feel like I genuinely wanted to buy vegetables rather than just using it as an excuse to give her charity." Jiang Siming replied.


    Realizing her mistake, Reba obediently stood up from the ground.


    "Sorry, I didn¡¯t think about that. I almost misunderstood you." Reba said apologetically.


    "It¡¯s fine. Just buy me another ice cream, and we¡¯re good."


    "No problem!" This time, Reba agreed without hesitation. The two of them walked toward the ice cream shop to buy another one.


    Although it had rained in Chongqing today, it was still hot. Ice cream was the perfect remedy for the heat outdoors.


    As they walked along the roadside, almost reaching the mall, a car suddenly sped by.


    Jiang Siming noticed that the car was heading toward a puddle on the road right next to them.


    If the car drove through it, water would definitely splash everywhere.


    Reba happened to be standing closest to the puddle. If they didn¡¯t move, they¡¯d both end up drenched.


    At that moment, Jiang Siming displayed his gentlemanly side!


    Completely unaware of the situation, Reba was suddenly pulled into Jiang Siming¡¯s embrace. Her mouth slightly opened in shock, thinking he was taking advantage of her.


    Just as she was about to scream, she noticed a car speeding past her, its wheels rolling right over the puddle and sending a spray of water flying!


    A thought flashed through her mind¡ªwas Jiang Siming trying to shield her from the splash? So touching~


    But in the next second, she realized¡ªno, that wasn¡¯t it!


    She... had been pushed out by Jiang Siming to act as the ¡¯umbrella,¡¯ while he hid safely behind her!


    Splash!


    Water instantly drenched Reba from head to toe. Her face was soaked, and even the ice cream in her hand was washed away.


    Jiang Siming, on the other hand, was perfectly dry, having used Reba as a shield to avoid the ¡¯baptism¡¯ of the water splash.


    "If you dare do that again, I won¡¯t let you off!" Reba huffed.


    Enjoy new adventures from


    "Alright, alright, next time I¡¯ll be more careful. I¡¯ll reposition you so that your back takes the splash instead of your face, okay?" Jiang Siming joked mischievously.


    Reba immediately lunged at him again, throwing playful punches and kicks.


    Once things finally calmed down, Reba had to change her wet clothes, so they found a nearby hotel to rent a room for a quick wash and change.


    Jiang Siming paid for it, though it was only a short-stay room. But since it was a high-end hotel, even an hour cost him over a hundred, which made his heart ache.


    After getting the room, Jiang Siming even had Xiao Xian check for safety hazards, like hidden cameras.


    Once everything was confirmed safe, he was promptly kicked out by Reba and had to stand guard at the door like a "security officer."


    Knock knock.


    "Reba, about that... are you still buying me ice cream later?" Jiang Siming knocked on the door, not forgetting about his ice cream.


    "In your dreams!" Reba¡¯s annoyed voice came from inside.


    Jiang Siming shrugged and sighed toward the sky. "What a loss."


    After freshening up, Reba changed back into her previous outfit, washing off her makeup and only applying a light touch-up before coming out.


    "I just thought your outfit and makeup were ugly, so I found an excuse to make you change," Jiang Siming explained.


    "Heh, a man¡¯s words are full of lies!" Reba didn¡¯t believe him at all.


    "Reba, don¡¯t be mad. I¡¯ll bark like a dog to cheer you up!" Jiang Siming suddenly acted all sweet and playful.


    Reba was momentarily caught off guard and shyly said, "How could I accept that?"


    Jiang Siming immediately repeated, "How could I accept that?"


    "What are you saying?" Reba looked confused.


    "What are you saying?" Jiang Siming mimicked her again.


    The two cameramen beside them were holding in their laughter so hard their faces turned red.


    Reba suddenly realized what was happening, her eyes widened, and she bared her teeth, ready to pounce. "Are you calling me a dog?! Jiang Siming, you scoundrel!"


    "Wait, wait, wait! Fine, I won¡¯t mimic you anymore. I¡¯ll do a magic trick to make you forget you¡¯re a dog, okay?" Jiang Siming said.


    "I was never a dog to begin with!" Reba put her hands on her hips.


    "See? You¡¯ve already forgotten." Jiang Siming grinned.


    Reba¡¯s fists immediately came flying his way.@@@@

 Chapter 309: Beast, Let Go of My Goddess!

    While the two were messing around, Wang Xun happened to walk in and saw them ¡¯intimately¡¯ holding each other while ¡¯flirting.¡¯ He could hardly believe his eyes.


    "Xiao Jiang, not bad! You managed to win over Reba so quickly?"


    Hearing this, Reba immediately jumped away from Jiang Siming, blushing as she said, "Xun-ge, what are you thinking? I was clearly hitting him!"


    "I get it, I get it. Hitting is affection, scolding is love," Wang Xun said knowingly.


    Reba was speechless and didn¡¯t want to argue with him.


    "Let¡¯s go, Xun-ge. If we don¡¯t leave now, it¡¯ll be midnight soon," Jiang Siming said lazily, not bothering to explain. The more you explain, the more suspicious people become.


    "Alright! You¡¯re really looking out for my business, Xiao Jiang," Wang Xun said, hooking his arm around Jiang Siming¡¯s shoulder.@@@@


    With that, the two men walked out, arms over each other¡¯s shoulders, completely ignoring Reba, leaving her standing there like air.


    Reba stomped her feet twice but quickly followed them. Since they called her a little tag-along, she decided to be one and stick with them for this whole episode!


    Wang Xun¡¯s car turned out to be a taxi. Since the front passenger seat was reserved for the cameraman, Jiang Siming had to squeeze in with Reba.


    There were actually three cameramen¡ªone for each of them.


    In the end, Jiang Siming¡¯s cameraman chose to ride with the production team¡¯s car, leaving only two cameramen in the taxi. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have fit.


    Explore more adventures at


    The backseat was packed with three people. The cameraman sat on the right, Jiang Siming in the middle, and Reba on the left.


    To make things worse, the cameraman was quite large, leaving Jiang Siming and Reba with no choice but to sit tightly pressed together.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t mind, but Reba felt a little uneasy. She turned her head toward the window, pretending to admire the view.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Siming casually chatted with Wang Xun, completely ignoring Reba.


    Eventually, Reba couldn¡¯t resist her drowsiness and fell asleep in the car.


    Her head naturally leaned on Jiang Siming¡¯s shoulder, even shifting to find a comfortable position before drifting into a deep sleep.


    Noticing this, Jiang Siming grinned mischievously at the camera and said, "At a time like this, if I secretly did something bad, she definitely wouldn¡¯t know, right?"


    If Reba¡¯s fans had seen this, they would have definitely screamed:


    "Beast! Let go of my goddess!"


    But in the next second, they would have realized that Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t doing anything indecent.


    Instead, he grabbed a charcoal pencil from Wang Xun¡¯s car and secretly drew a couple of mustache strokes on Reba¡¯s face.


    Still completely unaware, Reba continued sleeping soundly.


    At that moment, Yue Yunpeng was also wearing makeup, transformed into a greasy middle-aged man.


    He was painfully selling goods at a watermelon stall.


    Yes, he was in pain. Up until now, he had eaten who knows how much food.


    Rice cakes, pig trotters, flatbreads, dumplings... He had eaten a full plate of each.


    Even someone with a big appetite like Yue Yunpeng couldn¡¯t handle it anymore.


    But he was already making quick progress, now at the final watermelon challenge.


    If it had been Jiang Siming, he probably wouldn¡¯t have even finished the first three tasks yet.


    When Yue Yunpeng saw Jiang Siming and Reba approaching, he looked like he had just seen family.


    "Brother Jiang, this task is way too hard! My stomach is about to explode!" Yue Yunpeng cried out miserably.


    "You think I can¡¯t see that you¡¯re suffering but also enjoying it? If you don¡¯t like it, we can switch tasks," Jiang Siming saw right through him.


    "No, no, no! I really can¡¯t do the labor task. This one suits me better. Hehe, here, have some watermelon."


    Yue Yunpeng chuckled and cut two slices of watermelon for them.


    "Reba, what happened to your face? Why do you have a mustache?" Yue Yunpeng finally noticed something strange about Reba¡¯s face.


    "A mustache?" Reba was confused and took out her phone to check the camera. The moment she saw herself, she immediately understood.


    "Eat your watermelon, eat your watermelon. Women shouldn¡¯t get angry all the time, it¡¯s bad for the skin." Jiang Siming forcibly stuffed a piece of watermelon into her mouth.


    "Mm... you... this guy... it¡¯s actually pretty sweet..." Reba held the watermelon and started eating with loud slurps. The anger she had just built up seemed to vanish into thin air.


    After staying with Yue Yunpeng for a while, they went to check on Lei Jiayin and Xiao Zhu.


    By noon at twelve, all six people, exhausted and starving, returned to the production team.


    Except for Yue Yunpeng, who was full, the other five were all famished.


    "Director, hurry up and give us food! I¡¯m starving!"


    "Me too! So hungry, so hungry!"


    "I feel like I could eat a whole cow!"


    ...


    Everyone was starving. After working for so long in the daytime, it would have been strange if they weren¡¯t hungry.

 Chapter 310: The Old Monk Can’t Eat Too Salty

    However, everyone¡¯s request for a meal was not fulfilled.


    The director raised a megaphone and said to everyone:


    "Due to the limited program budget, you will have to cover today¡¯s lunch and dinner yourselves, using the money you earned this morning."


    Ah!


    Everyone was dumbfounded, except for Jiang Siming and Yue Yunpeng, who remained unfazed.@@@@


    Yue Yunpeng simply wasn¡¯t hungry, while Jiang Siming had already anticipated this.


    "Now, report the amount of money you earned today. The one with the highest earnings will be rewarded with a hot pot meal," the director said.


    "I made 260," Lei Jiayin reported first.


    "I made 310," Yue Yunpeng had earned quite a lot, and he had also eaten plenty¡ªdefinitely a great deal.


    "I made 420 yuan, hehe," Reba raised the bills in her hand.


    Jiang Siming proudly pulled out a thick wad of cash and said, "I made 750."


    What the heck!


    Everyone was shocked. How did this guy make so much?


    "I only made 180 yuan! I want to report Jiang Siming¡ªhe scammed me out of 100 yuan!" Xiaozhu said indignantly.


    Jiang Siming replied, "Brother Zhu, don¡¯t be mad. Even if you are, I still won¡¯t return the money."


    Xiaozhu got even angrier, so Jiang Siming quickly reassured him:


    "I admit I was wrong this time. As compensation, I¡¯ll treat you to lunch. I guarantee you¡¯ll eat comfortably¡ªthere¡¯s hot pot and seafood. How about that?"


    "Really?" Xiaozhu hesitated, tempted.


    "Of course! I earned the most, so the hot pot is ours. I also got a serving of big prawns and bought a bunch of fresh vegetables. Do you think you could get all that for 100 yuan? With 100 yuan, you can¡¯t buy a loss or a scam, but you can buy yourself a feast!" Jiang Siming said loudly.


    Hearing this, the others were also tempted.


    "Brother Jiang, count me in!"


    "Me too, me too!"


    Lei Jiayin and Wang Xun were both interested. It made sense¡ªsince their earnings weren¡¯t much, covering both lunch and dinner themselves would be difficult.


    "That depends on Brother Zhu¡¯s opinion. If he agrees, I have no objections¡ªthis meal is for him!" Jiang Siming declared righteously, handing over the "power" to Xiaozhu.


    In reality, he never intended to refuse anyone. Instead of outright inviting them, he might as well use this chance to do Xiaozhu a favor, making up for the 100-yuan trick.


    Although it was a hot pot reward, the ingredients were quite limited because the show had only prepared enough for Jiang Siming alone.


    However, it didn¡¯t matter. Jiang Siming had brought his own shrimp and two large bags of vegetables, which were enough for five people.


    Yue Yunpeng was already full and didn¡¯t need to eat, meaning one strong competitor was out of the equation.


    "Wait, I still have a fish! The fish stall owner gave it to me¡ªit¡¯s a whole 7 jin!"


    Xiao Zhu suddenly remembered and immediately went to get it. Sure enough, he came back carrying a big fish.


    "Here, let me handle it."


    Wang Xun eagerly took over the task of preparing the fish¡ªhonest people are always the most hardworking.


    Since Wang Xun often cooked at home, handling a fish was no problem for him.


    Pressing down on the fish, which was still flopping on the cutting board, Wang Xun raised a stick and knocked it on the head, stunning it.


    Then, he began gutting and descaling it. Everyone found it a bit hard to watch¡ªit was a bit cruel and bloody.


    Only Jiang Siming remained unfazed. He stared at the fish for a while before finally speaking.


    "Amitabha, compassion, compassion."


    Hearing this, everyone thought Jiang Siming was going to stop Wang Xun from killing the fish. Was he really that much of a saint?


    But then, his next sentence made everyone burst out laughing.


    "Amitabha, compassion, compassion¡ªadd more chili, less salt, this monk can¡¯t eat too salty."


    Hahaha...


    The room erupted in laughter.


    The fish was cut into pieces and thrown into the hot pot along with the shrimp.


    The delicious aroma quickly filled the air.


    The five of them were practically drooling, waiting eagerly for the food to cook. The moment it was ready, they immediately dug in, unwilling to waste a single second.


    Just then, Jiang Siming¡¯s phone rang. It was Li Yingzi calling, so he had to step out to take the call.


    Seeing Jiang Siming leave, Reba worried that he wouldn¡¯t get any food, so she quickly grabbed a bunch of fish and shrimp and put them into his bowl.


    The others, including the production team, all exchanged knowing smiles. When this scene aired, Reba would have a hard time explaining herself.


    When Jiang Siming returned after his call and saw his bowl filled with fish and shrimp, he smiled gratefully at Xiao Zhu and said, "Bro Zhu, you¡¯re really thoughtful."


    Reba: "I! #%"

 Chapter 311: You Little Bastard!

    Everyone was very satisfied with the lunch. There was fish, shrimp, and two large bags of vegetables, all of which were completely devoured.


    After lunch, the production team knew everyone was tired, so they decided to let them rest for two hours.


    The production team wasn¡¯t entirely heartless¡ªthey didn¡¯t force everyone to find their own place to rest. Instead, they arranged for them to stay at a five-star hotel.


    See, that¡¯s how this show is. When they say there¡¯s not enough budget, there really isn¡¯t. But when they say there is, they have more funds than any other show.


    The director of *Go Fighting* sure knows how to deceive people!


    After a beautiful three-hour nap, the six of them woke up feeling refreshed.


    "I just had a dream that my movie won an award, hahaha," Wang Xun said with a laugh.


    "Then we wish Brother Xun¡¯s dream comes true," the others said, offering their blessings.


    "I had a dream too. I dreamt of Reba," Jiang Siming suddenly said.


    Oh!!!


    Everyone immediately started making a fuss, and the production team was instantly excited. Was this leading to a confession?


    Everyone perked up their ears and widened their eyes to watch the scene unfold.


    As the person being mentioned, Reba¡¯s cheeks instantly turned red. She was a bit flustered and could only stammer, "Y-you... what did you dream about me?"


    "I dreamt of you standing by the vast ocean."


    "T-that¡¯s it?"


    "I poked you with a little stick," Jiang Siming said.


    Everyone¡¯s expressions turned mischievous. Damn, this dream sounds intense!


    Reba, however, didn¡¯t catch the underlying meaning and continued asking innocently, "Poke? Why did you poke me?"


    Jiang Siming laughed and said, "I was thinking, you little turtle, your shell is pretty tough."


    "......"


    Even though they didn¡¯t hear the love confession they were expecting, seeing Reba and Jiang Siming playfully teasing each other made everyone smile knowingly.


    It was as if they could smell the ¡¯rotten stench¡¯ of romance!


    After some playful banter, the director announced the next task.


    A piano instructor was also waiting beside the piano.


    "You need to sing a song and get at least 30 passersby to stop and listen for it to count as a success. This piano instructor can accompany you, but his rental fee is 50 yuan per song," the production team explained.


    Jiang Siming chuckled. "I don¡¯t need to rent the piano instructor. I can play it myself."


    What a joke¡ªhis piano skills were world-class! Why waste money hiring an accompanist?


    "That works too," the production team had no objections.


    Jiang Siming immediately sat at the piano, rendering the instructor completely unnecessary.


    Eager to find Reba and complete the task, he didn¡¯t hesitate. His hands danced across the keys as a melody, one no one had heard before, flowed from his fingertips.


    The beautiful tune instantly caught the attention of a few passersby, slowing their steps. They curiously looked at Jiang Siming¡¯s back, wondering why this unfamiliar melody sounded so enchanting.


    "The books always describe those unexpectedly delightful evenings,


    The bicycle rides, and the conversations between him and her.


    The girl¡¯s white dress¡ªhe loved seeing her wear it.


    So many scenes, so much romance,


    So many joys and sorrows, so many bittersweet farewells,


    Your journey continues at


    So many days that can¡¯t be relived..."


    His sudden singing echoed down the street on Jiefangbei Road, enveloping the pedestrians in its melody.


    His voice and singing skills instantly captivated passersby¡ªtwo, six, eight, fifteen...


    No one had heard this song before, but it sounded incredibly romantic¡ªjust like the voice of the young man singing it.


    "Has anyone heard this song before?" the director asked the crew, but everyone shook their heads.


    "It seems like he wrote it himself. Don¡¯t forget, he often sings his own songs during livestreams. Even ¡¯Old Boy¡¯ was written by him," the assistant director speculated.


    "That¡¯s amazing. Everyone, listen up! Even if he reaches 30 listeners, don¡¯t interrupt him. Let him finish singing first."


    After saying that, the director quickly returned his focus to the performance, eager to keep listening.

 Chapter 312: Slowly Falling for You

    "I just kissed you, and you liked it too, right? Otherwise, why would you keep holding my hand so tightly? You said you really wanted to take me back to your hometown¡ªgreen tiles, red bricks, willow trees, and moss. The past and present look the same. You said you would be like that too..."


    These lyrics didn¡¯t sound like a rhyming song but more like a romantic love letter. Find exclusive stories on


    A confession from a boy to the girl he likes¡ªsweet and affectionate, with every word filled with his deep love for her.


    As Jiang Siming¡¯s gentle singing reached everyone¡¯s ears, a warm and romantic emotion spread in their hearts.


    There were many couples on Liberation Monument Road, and as they heard this song, they couldn¡¯t help but stop and watch.


    Many who heard the song from afar quickly followed the melody to get closer.


    The number of people stopping to listen had long surpassed thirty, but the production team didn¡¯t interrupt Jiang Siming. Instead, they quietly chose to continue listening.


    Such a beautiful song¡ªthey couldn¡¯t bear to cut it off. They had to hear it to the end!


    At this moment, the piano slowed down again!


    This was entirely different from normal songs, where the chorus typically speeds up and intensifies.


    But in Jiang Siming¡¯s song, the chorus slowed down, like the chimes of an old church clock, where the bell strikes slowly at noon.


    "Slowly falling for you, slowly getting closer, slowly talking about ourselves, slowly walking together with you. Slowly, I want to be with you, slowly give myself to you..."


    As soon as this chorus began, the entire crowd was stunned!


    Even though Jiang Siming¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t particularly high or powerful, and it lacked the usual energetic appeal of upbeat songs...@@@@


    On the contrary, this slow-paced chorus, like a turtle¡¯s steps, carried an impact that most fast songs couldn¡¯t achieve.


    An absolutely stunning chorus!


    This song, performed in a slow rhythm and sung softly, made listeners feel as if they were immersed in a fresh and romantic love story¡ªlike the sweetness of first love, or the devotion of a passionate relationship.


    The repeated "slowly" grew stronger each time, more touching with every line.


    In this fast-paced world, slow living and a slow rhythm have become a luxury.


    If one could hold their partner¡¯s hand, watch the sunrise, and enjoy the evening breeze, how beautiful would that be?


    This song attracted more and more people, quickly filling the entire street.


    It had a magical effect¡ªcausing people who had been walking fast to slow their pace, as if their restless hearts had been injected with a calming agent.


    "Slowly falling for you, slowly recalling memories, slowly staying with you, slowly growing old together. Because slowly... is the best reason..."


    After finishing the first part, Jiang Siming suddenly stopped singing.


    When he turned his head, he was startled¡ªso many people!


    The director was getting anxious. This guy was torturing the audience¡ªsinging just one part? What about the next verse?


    This was like pulling down someone¡¯s pants only to say you had something urgent to do!


    "Bro, your singing is amazing!"


    By the time Jiang Siming arrived, Lei Jiayin had just found the envelope.


    Seeing Jiang Siming, Lei Jiayin immediately turned and tried to run.


    "Why are you running? I have to challenge you! It¡¯s the rule," Jiang Siming shouted at Lei Jiayin.


    "You want to play rock-paper-scissors with me?" Lei Jiayin said helplessly.


    The task had a rule: if another team found you, they had the right to challenge you to rock-paper-scissors, and each round was worth ten yuan...


    "That¡¯s right. But if you let me take a look at the envelope, I¡¯ll let you go," Jiang Siming said.


    "Dream on. Rock-paper-scissors it is! But don¡¯t play for just ten yuan¡ªlet¡¯s go for fifty!" Lei Jiayin was inexplicably confident.


    Jiang Siming agreed without hesitation.


    The game began!


    "Rock, paper... scissors!"


    Jiang Siming threw out rock, while Lei Jiayin threw scissors.


    "Again! I¡¯ll owe you the fifty for now." Lei Jiayin refused to believe it and continued playing.


    But after five rounds, he lost every single one!


    He could hardly believe his hands¡ªhow could he lose every time?


    "Again, again! I don¡¯t believe it!" Lei Jiayin was hopping mad.


    Jiang Siming grinned and said, "Do you even have any money left to lose? You already owe me 250. Time to settle the debt."


    "Fine, fine!" Lei Jiayin fished through his pockets. He had a total of 260 yuan, and after giving Jiang Siming 250, he only had ten left.


    "Looks like you don¡¯t have enough, Brother Jiayin," Jiang Siming said, holding back his laughter.


    Lei Jiayin was both angry and helpless. "Then let¡¯s switch to ten yuan rounds!"


    "Alright."


    "Rock, paper... scissors!"


    Jiang Siming won again, using scissors to cut Lei Jiayin¡¯s paper.


    "This is impossible!" Lei Jiayin couldn¡¯t believe it¡ªsix losses in a row. How bad could his luck be?


    "Brother Jiayin, I forgot to mention¡ªI¡¯ve never lost at rock-paper-scissors."


    Jiang Siming said smugly.


    Of course, it wasn¡¯t about luck. If it were, Jiang Siming had always been notoriously unlucky.


    He was simply using his mind to predict what Lei Jiayin would throw in advance, allowing him to win every time.

 Chapter 313: Street Dance?

    The only ten yuan he had left was also lost to Jiang Siming.


    "I want to go again! I¡¯ll bet this envelope!" Lei Jiayin still couldn¡¯t believe it.


    "Alright, let¡¯s do it."


    Two seconds later, Lei Jiayin was completely broke, and even the envelope was won by Jiang Siming before he could even look at it.


    "Bro Jiayin, this ten yuan is my sponsorship for you. Use it wisely, okay? I¡¯m off." Jiang Siming left behind the last ten yuan he won, turned around, and disappeared.


    Lei Jiayin was on the verge of tears, looking absolutely miserable.


    "What do I need this big head for!"


    After stepping outside, Jiang Siming opened the envelope he had won from Lei Jiayin, but unfortunately, it still wasn¡¯t information about Reba.


    [Xiao Zhu: Currently at Bai Mansion, 6 km from your location]


    It was another team¡¯s information. Jiang Siming felt a bit helpless¡ªit looked like he had to go snatch one from Xiao Zhu now.


    He arrived at Bai Mansion, where Xiao Zhu was supposed to be.


    Jiang Siming found that Xiao Zhu had already left. He must have gotten someone else¡¯s information and run off.


    The prop task at Bai Mansion required participants to perform a complex dance routine with a street dance expert.


    No wonder Xiao Zhu finished so quickly¡ªhe was the King of Dance in Asia. This short dance routine must have been a piece of cake for him.


    "Mr. Jiang, would you like to take on the challenge as well?" the street dance expert asked.


    Jiang Siming nodded and said, "Let¡¯s do it. I can¡¯t make this trip for nothing."


    The street dancer then performed a routine¡ªit was a highly energetic POP mechanical dance.


    Not only was the speed fast, but the moves were also intricate and varied, including professional ground-touching techniques.


    Someone without dance training would have no idea where to start.


    The dance was completed quickly, and the dance teacher looked at Jiang Siming with an amused expression. "Got it?"


    "That was easy." Jiang Siming looked at him dismissively.


    Immediately, his limbs began moving, as if he were a real robot wound up and set in motion.


    His movements were a hundred times smoother than the street dancer¡¯s¡ªdisplaying a master-level mechanical dance.


    The street dancer beside him was completely stunned.@@@@


    Jiang Siming hadn¡¯t expected that his supposedly useless **Street Dance Mastery** skill would come in handy here.


    Following the energetic background music playing in the mansion, Jiang Siming executed dazzling moves, perfectly replicating the street dancer¡¯s routine. r?a?O?B??


    "Why? Why don¡¯t you just take a taxi yourself?" Jiang Siming asked curiously.


    Hearing this, Yue Yunpeng was furious. "Xiaozhu won all my money, I¡¯m broke!"


    "He found you?" Jiang Siming was a little surprised.


    "Yeah, I ran into him on my way to Bai Mansion. I wanted to win his money, but who would¡¯ve thought that guy had incredible luck? Out of ten rounds, he won seven. Just like that, I lost all my money," Yue Yunpeng said, looking aggrieved.


    He had found Xiaozhu first, but in the end, he was the one who got robbed instead.


    "So, do you want me to give you a ride, or do you need some money?" Jiang Siming leaned back in his seat, starting to calculate his options.


    "Either works! But it¡¯d be best if you gave me a ride. Can I sit with you? Let¡¯s form an alliance!"


    Yue Yunpeng felt that he needed a reliable teammate. Jiang Siming looked like someone who could provide a sense of security.


    *Cough cough,* and it had absolutely nothing to do with the mountain of snacks beside him.


    "An alliance? But I heard that alliances in *Go Fighting!* aren¡¯t trustworthy at all. You guys betray each other all the time," Jiang Siming said while munching on some potato chips. Lay¡¯s, original flavor, very tasty.


    "That¡¯s Xiaozhu and the others, not me! I never betray people, Brother Jiang, you have to believe me!"


    Yue Yunpeng put on a sincere expression, his naturally likable face making it easy for him to act convincing.


    Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t worried about betrayal, so he simply opened the car door, generously letting Yue Yunpeng in.


    "Brother Jiang, you¡¯re the best! I¡¯ll stick with you to the end in this episode!"


    Yue Yunpeng even pulled out an envelope to show his sincerity.


    "I don¡¯t need that. I already went to Bai Mansion and completed the task there."


    "Huh? That was a dance task! I thought no one but Xiaozhu could pull it off. You know street dance too?"


    Yue Yunpeng found it incredible. How could this guy be so multi-talented?


    Meanwhile, he had trained at Deyun Club for so many years and still only knew how to do crosstalk...


    "Just a little. I was just messing around," Jiang Siming humbly boasted.


    "Here, help yourself to some snacks, no need to be polite."


    Yue Yunpeng was overjoyed and indeed did not hold back, immediately grabbing some to eat.


    "Brother Jiang, don¡¯t worry! I won¡¯t just eat for free. If you need me to take care of anyone later, just say the word!"


    Yue Yunpeng was loyal and patted his chest in assurance.


    Jiang Siming chuckled and handed him a few more boxes of Oreo cookies. The whole scene looked like a wealthy landlord rewarding his servant.


    The funny part was that Yue Yunpeng actually looked completely satisfied and shamelessly happy, a sight that would surely enrage his master if he saw it.

 Chapter 314: Yangtze River Cableway

    The two of them ate snacks and chatted as they arrived at the Yangtze River Cableway. Along the way, Jiang Siming observed the scenery and customs of Chongqing.


    Chongqing is truly a magical place because you never really know which floor you¡¯re on.


    It may seem like you¡¯re on the ground level by the road, but in reality, you could be dozens of meters above the ground, with multiple layers of living spaces beneath you.


    The Yangtze River Cableway is Chongqing¡¯s second cross-river cableway (the first being the Jialing River Cableway, which has been dismantled) and has been in operation for 30 years.


    It is known as the "First Aerial Corridor of the Yangtze River" and the "Mountain City¡¯s Aerial Public Transport."


    After getting off the cableway, the two of them were troubled because they had no idea where Reba was¡ªnot even Xiaozhu was in sight.


    "How are we supposed to find them?" Yue Yunpeng asked worriedly.


    "Let¡¯s go to the props mission area first. If they¡¯re here, they should be doing the mission. If not, it means they¡¯ve probably already completed it," Jiang Siming said with clear logic.


    The props mission here involved riding the Yangtze River Cableway.


    During the ride, they had to spot a specific boat on the Yangtze River below, arranged by the show¡¯s production team, and recognize a poem displayed by the staff on board in order to complete the task.


    This mission required constantly looking down. The significant height difference made it difficult for those afraid of heights, and they also had to search for a boat and read a poem, making it quite challenging.


    Sure enough, Yue Yunpeng was the first to struggle.


    He was not skilled at high-altitude games, and the feeling of weightlessness made him scream nonstop on the cableway.


    "Will this cable rope snap under the weight?"


    Jiang Siming rolled his eyes at him and said, "Can you shut up with your jinxed words?"


    "Alright, I¡¯ll shut up, but Jiang bro, I really can¡¯t help you with this one," Yue Yunpeng admitted.


    He was good at eating, but when it came to this kind of task, he was hopeless.


    Jiang Siming hadn¡¯t expected him to be of any help anyway, so he focused on carefully scanning the vast Yangtze River below, searching for a marked boat.


    He really did find one¡ªit had a logo from *Go Fighting!* pasted on it.


    People on the boat had already started holding up placards, but since the boat was moving, Jiang Siming had to constantly shift positions inside the cabin to keep watching.


    Yue Yunpeng, with his eyes shut tight, curled up in a corner, providing exactly zero help to Jiang Siming.


    Unfortunately, Jiang Siming only managed to see the first two words, "meeting", before the boat passed directly beneath them. The bottom of the cabin wasn¡¯t transparent, so he missed many of the characters.@@@@


    Later, he only managed to catch three more words, "beside the drooping willows".


    "Meeting? Beside the drooping willows?"


    When the show aired, Jiang Siming¡¯s fans would once again be shocked.


    After receiving the envelope, Jiang Siming opened it and saw Wang Xun¡¯s location information.


    ¡¾Wang Xun: Located at the Crown Grand Escalator, 7 kilometers away.¡¿


    But at this point, Wang Xun¡¯s location no longer mattered¡ªJiang Siming already knew where Reba would be heading next.


    Based on the timing, Reba had likely already completed Wang Xun¡¯s task and was on her way to Jiefangbei Road.


    "Brother Jiang, look! It¡¯s Xiao Zhu!"


    Yue Yunpeng suddenly spotted a sneaky figure approaching from behind them in a cable car.


    "Haha, you two can¡¯t escape now!" Xiao Zhu shouted excitedly, as if he had already secured victory.


    Jiang Siming pretended to run.


    Xiao Zhu immediately yelled, "I challenge you to a PK! You know the rules¡ªyou must accept my challenge, no running away!"


    Hearing this, Jiang Siming obediently stayed in place.


    As soon as the cable car arrived, Xiao Zhu jumped out and surrounded Jiang Siming, afraid he would escape.


    "Brother Jiang, sorry about this, hehe. Hand over all your money¡ªyou¡¯re not going anywhere!" Xiao Zhu grinned.


    Jiang Siming leaned on his hand and asked with a smile, "Where does your confidence come from? What makes you think you can beat me?"


    "My unbeatable luck and my massive funds! I won all of Yue Yunpeng¡¯s money. Now I have over 500 bucks¡ªis that enough to win against you?"


    So he really did take out Wang Xun.


    "Just 500 bucks, and you think you can take down everyone? Brother Zhu, aren¡¯t you getting a little cocky?" Jiang Siming sneered.


    "Enough talk, let¡¯s start. You decide the wager per round."


    Little Pig was extremely confident in his rock-paper-scissors skills. Enjoy exclusive adventures from


    Jiang Siming smiled. Since someone was offering him free money, he wouldn¡¯t refuse.


    "How about 50 per round? Let¡¯s wrap this up quickly."


    "OK! No problem!" Little Pig agreed without hesitation.


    A seemingly intense "Gambling King" showdown was about to begin, but for Jiang Siming, the outcome was already decided. He had no concept of nervousness.

 Chapter 315: See You at Jiefangbei

    After five rounds.


    "Ahhh! I don¡¯t believe it! How can this be so ridiculous!"


    Xiao Zhu let out a pig-like howl, completely unable to believe his luck¡ªhow could he lose five rounds in a row?


    Of course, if he had met Lei Jiayin, he would have found some comfort.


    "Why don¡¯t we just call it a day, Brother Zhu? You only lost five hundred. Let¡¯s stop here, how about that?" Jiang Siming "kindly" advised.


    "Impossible! Let¡¯s go again!" Xiao Zhu refused to give up.


    "Alright then, but just two more rounds and that¡¯s it," Jiang Siming said, holding back a laugh.


    "Not happening! We must decide the final winner today! Either you win everything from me, or I win everything from you. There are only these two outcomes!" Xiao Zhu shouted.


    "Brother Jiang, he did the same to me just now. Help me get revenge!" Yue Yunpeng pleaded.


    Another five rounds passed.


    Xiao Zhu lost it.


    "I don¡¯t believe it, I don¡¯t believe it, I don¡¯t believe it! This is ridiculous! I haven¡¯t won a single round, wuwuwu!"


    All the money in Xiao Zhu¡¯s hands had entered Jiang Siming¡¯s pockets.


    "Hahahaha! Xiao Zhu, looks like it¡¯s your turn today! Weren¡¯t you feeling smug when you won against me? This is karma!"


    Yue Yunpeng was even happier than if he had won the money himself.


    Jiang Siming smiled at Xiao Zhu and said, "Brother Zhu, since you¡¯re out of money, I¡¯ll be heading off. I still have to find that silly woman, Reba."


    Daring to call Reba a silly woman, Jiang Siming was the first.


    "No way! I still have envelopes! I have three envelopes! Let¡¯s keep gambling!"


    Xiao Zhu was still unwilling to accept defeat and took out the envelopes he had won along with his own.


    Jiang Siming chuckled and said, "These things don¡¯t matter to me anymore."


    "How can that be? Don¡¯t you want to find Reba?" Xiao Zhu was skeptical.


    "Of course, I do. That¡¯s why I¡¯m going to look for her now. No more talking, Brother Zhu. Here¡¯s ten yuan for you, consider it my compensation. Goodbye." ?¦¡?NO??b??


    After saying that, Jiang Siming slipped away, and Yue Yunpeng quickly followed¡ªclinging to Jiang Siming¡¯s thigh was more important than anything.


    "Brother Jiang! Brother Jiang! Take me with you!"


    Little Pig¡¯s expression changed instantly. The thought of being left here with no money felt like a nightmare.


    But before he could say anything else, Jiang Siming and Yue Yunpeng had already driven off.


    He ended up just like Lei Jiayin¡ªlosing screen time in the second half of the show...


    After getting back into the car, Jiang Siming took Yue Yunpeng back to Jiefangbei Road.


    "President Jiang, it¡¯s an honor to have you here. I apologize for not welcoming you properly. Please, President Jiang, come to my office to talk."


    "And you are?" Jiang Siming didn¡¯t immediately accept the invitation.


    "Haha, I¡¯m the general manager of Tianxiang Financial. Your assistant, President Li, just called me."


    "Alright then, lead the way." Jiang Siming stepped forward, and the general manager followed him, smiling all the way.


    Yinghuan Financial had long been well-known in Chongqing¡¯s financial industry.


    In the current declining stock market, it was rare for Yinghuan Financial to maintain such impressive performance.


    Though Yinghuan Financial¡¯s capital wasn¡¯t large, only considered a mid-tier financial firm, its sharp investment vision made up for it.


    Tianxiang Financial had a much larger overall strength, but they had been losing money in recent years, suffering severe stock losses.


    At this moment, they urgently needed a reliable partner.


    Yinghuan was the best candidate.


    Understanding this, it became clear why the general manager was being so respectful to Jiang Siming.


    The "Go Fighting!" director was still confused. He only knew Jiang Siming was a Huayi board member but had never heard of an entertainment company being treated so highly by a financial firm.


    Regardless, Jiang Siming smoothly entered the office and came out five minutes later.


    The advertising department immediately decided to change tonight¡¯s billboard ad, replacing it with a few giant words.


    **[Reba, see this message and meet at Jiefangbei.]**


    These few words were quickly turned into an advertisement and displayed on the billboard.


    The massive LED screen lit up, making it visible to everyone in the square.


    "Whoa, who put up this ad?"


    "Reba? Could it be Dilraba?"


    "Is some rich guy chasing after Dilraba?"


    "This is big news! Quick, take a video!"


    ...


    Not only could the people at Jiefangbei see it, but even those far away could clearly make out the words.


    Reba, who had just finished her mission with Wang Xun and was heading toward Jiefangbei, saw the billboard from her car.


    She stared at the words on the sign, mouth slightly open in shock.


    There was no way Xiao Zhu and the others put it up. She wasn¡¯t the person they were looking for, so they wouldn¡¯t spend so much just to find her.


    That left only one possibility¡ªit was Jiang Siming!

 Chapter 316: Favorability Points

    "He... how did he do it..."


    Reba covered her mouth, overwhelmed with emotion.


    If a man you don¡¯t dislike, and even somewhat like, tries to find you or confess in such a way, no woman could resist.


    Moreover, Reba already had a good impression of Jiang Siming, and it wasn¡¯t a small one.


    She just didn¡¯t realize it herself.


    The person involved is often confused, while onlookers see clearly.


    "Driver, please hurry up, faster, please!"


    Reba was afraid Jiang Siming would grow impatient, urging the driver to speed up.


    Upon arriving at Liberation Monument Road, Reba couldn¡¯t wait to get out of the car. Experience more on


    She ran into the square, looking at the billboard, waves of emotion surging in her heart.


    But she didn¡¯t see Jiang Siming under the billboard.


    "He must be at the mission prop location. Yes, yes, the mission prop!"


    Anxiously searching, Reba finally spotted Jiang Siming after running through most of Liberation Road.


    He was sitting in front of a piano, playing and singing.


    "Lu Zhou¡¯s moonlight, pear blossom rain cool, now you no longer look like you did back then..."


    Jiang Siming was simply bored, so he sang a familiar song, "Lu Zhou Moon."


    Unexpectedly, his voice attracted all the passing pedestrians, causing a huge crowd to gather and block the street completely.


    Luckily, this was a pedestrian street; otherwise, traffic would have been disrupted.


    "Excuse me, excuse me!"


    Reba quickly squeezed through the crowd.


    Even the cameraman couldn¡¯t get through, but she managed to.


    Standing at the very front, Reba watched as Jiang Siming played the piano under the starry sky, letting the music flow freely.


    The soft glow of the streetlights shone on Jiang Siming.


    From the side, his profile became deeply engraved in Reba¡¯s heart.


    As the song ended, the entire crowd erupted into thunderous applause.


    Jiang Siming stood up and turned around, only to find Reba standing right in front of him.


    At that moment, it was just like the poem written by Xin Qiji in "Green Jade Table ¡¤ Lantern Festival Night":


    "I searched for him thousands of times,


    And suddenly, turning back,


    There he was,


    Standing under the dim lights..."


    An emotion inside Reba was calling out to her.


    Without any warning, she ran forward and threw herself into Jiang Siming¡¯s embrace.


    Reba¡¯s mind was running wild. She held back for a while but eventually couldn¡¯t resist. She secretly turned her head and stole a glance at Jiang Siming. ?aNO??bE?s?


    This guy had already leaned back in his seat and fallen asleep...


    "Annoying guy!" Reba gritted her teeth in frustration.


    Just as she was about to "curse him in circles," something heavy suddenly fell onto her shoulder.


    It turned out to be Jiang Siming¡¯s head.


    Uncomfortable leaning against the seat, Jiang Siming had found a more comfortable position and continued sleeping.


    Reba¡¯s ears drooped in defeat¡ªthis guy had completely worn her down.


    Not long after they returned to the hotel, the others also came back.


    The director announced that this episode had wrapped up perfectly.


    "This is fate!"


    With the six of them shouting in unison, this episode of *Go Fighting!* officially concluded!


    Jiang Siming¡¯s journey on the show had come to an end.


    Overall, he had a great time and made a bunch of new friends.


    At the farewell dinner, Wang Xun praised Jiang Siming enthusiastically, saying he wanted him to stay on *Go Fighting!* as a regular cast member.


    Yue Yunpeng, Xiao Zhu, and the others also strongly agreed.


    Not to mention anything else, but ever since Jiang Siming joined, the atmosphere had changed drastically.


    They no longer had to rack their brains to create entertaining moments or force themselves to liven up the show.


    With Jiang Siming, everything was effortlessly fun and engaging.


    Everyone had a blast in this episode. Even Xiao Zhu and Lei Jiayin, who had been KO¡¯d by Jiang Siming, admitted they had lost fair and square.


    So even after Jiang Siming left, for the next few episodes, the five of them still frequently mentioned him.


    Just like how Wang Xun and the others often talked about Huang Lei and Sun Honglei, who were no longer in the show.


    It was amazing how Jiang Siming had left such an unforgettable impression on them in just one episode.


    Facing everyone¡¯s efforts to keep him, Jiang Siming politely declined.


    "I¡¯ll come back if I have the chance. Don¡¯t worry, this show is too much fun¡ªI wouldn¡¯t want to miss out."


    Jiang Siming raised his glass, cutting off their attempts to persuade him.


    The others had no choice but to toast him, continuing to chat and drink together.


    Only Reba seemed a bit down. She finished eating early and used the excuse of feeling unwell to return to her hotel room to rest.


    As Jiang Siming ate, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye and understood immediately.


    In fact, at the very moment on Liberation Road when Reba had hugged him, he had received a notification of favorability from Dilraba Dilmurat.


    A solid 45 favorability points¡ªcombined with the initial base value¡ª


    A total of 75 favorability points, which meant this girl would never be able to forget him.


    As for his own thoughts, Jiang Siming simply...

 Chapter 317: I Don’t Want You Anymore

    Everyone had a farewell meal, then returned to their rooms to sleep, ready to go their separate ways the next day.


    Jiang Siming returned to his room but did not secretly go looking for Reba.


    To be honest, Jiang Siming felt that knowing Reba for less than a day and then doing *that* with her would make him feel guilty.


    Besides, he wasn¡¯t that kind of person¡ªhis morals were so high, and his thoughts were so pure. How could he do such a "beastly" thing?


    (*Author: Can you stop pretending? If it weren¡¯t for the recent crackdown, would you still be acting innocent?*)


    The night passed without incident.


    On the third day, Jiang Siming packed his luggage, preparing to head to the airport.


    As he went downstairs, he saw Reba sitting in the lobby, pretending to look at her phone, but occasionally glancing toward the hotel interior as if waiting for someone. Discover more stories at


    When Jiang Siming appeared, Reba immediately put her phone away, picked up her luggage, and prepared to leave.


    "So early? Did you sleep well last night?" Jiang Siming greeted her.


    Reba pursed her lips and shook her head.


    "Insomnia? That¡¯s not good for a girl. It can cause wrinkles," Jiang Siming said seriously.


    Reba tilted her head and finally asked, "Are you really not coming back to this show?"


    "I never said I wouldn¡¯t, but it might be a long time. I¡¯m not a celebrity, and I¡¯m not really interested in variety shows. I prefer gaming and streaming," Jiang Siming replied without hesitation.


    He had joined the variety show just for fun. He might participate in others in the future, but only when he had free time and wanted to have fun.


    Unlike real celebrities, who do variety shows season after season for exposure and popularity, he was just in it for enjoyment.


    So, it was still the same answer.


    Reba felt a little down but finally mustered the courage to say, "Then I¡¯ll wait for you, no matter when you come."


    Jiang Siming¡¯s eyelid twitched, and he forced a smile. "Why make it sound like a tragic farewell? You can always watch my streams. Plus, I promised to play games with you, remember?"


    "You really mean it?" Reba¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up again.


    "Of course! Having a big celebrity in my stream will definitely attract more viewers. I just have to prepare for your male fans¡¯ outrage, but I can handle it, don¡¯t worry." R??a???§£E?s


    "Great! I¡¯ll get a better computer as soon as I get home. I heard PUBG needs a good setup. When I have time, I¡¯ll ask you to play with me!" Reba said cheerfully.


    Reba¡¯s smile was truly stunning, and even Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t help but be momentarily captivated.


    "No problem. I¡¯ll carry you to victory¡ªor straight into the trash heap."


    "Then think about it. If you come to Huayi, I can make sure the company takes care of you. If you stay at another studio and end up accepting some overly revealing roles, I won¡¯t want you anymore." Jiang Siming said proudly.


    Reba¡¯s face turned completely red, and her head was almost steaming.


    What did he mean by that?


    Was he saying that he wanted her?


    "I would never take on revealing roles! I haven¡¯t even filmed a kissing scene before!" Reba refuted shyly, her face flushed.


    "Enough nonsense, are you coming or not? Just give me a straight answer."


    Jiang Siming displayed his full masculine dominance. He was never wrong¡ªeven if he was, she wasn¡¯t allowed to say it.


    "I never said I wouldn¡¯t go... But... you have to at least let me talk to Sister Man first. She¡¯s been good to me, after all. I promise I¡¯ll be quick!" Reba said softly.


    "Fine then. Let me know your decision. I¡¯m leaving first."


    Jiang Siming took a step forward to leave but suddenly stopped.


    "You said you¡¯ve never filmed a kissing scene before?" He turned back to ask.


    "Mm. Even if there was one, it was shot using camera angles. We Uyghur girls are very traditional. Even in acting, my mother never let me casually give away my first kiss..." Reba shyly played with the hem of her clothes as she spoke.


    "In that case... I won¡¯t hold back!"


    Jiang Siming dropped his luggage, reached out toward Reba, and pressed his lips against hers.


    By the time Reba snapped back to her senses, Jiang Siming had already walked away, dragging his suitcase behind him.


    She stood frozen, covering her lips with her hands, her face as red as blood.


    "That shameless scoundrel... big bad guy!"


    Reba muttered complaints about Jiang Siming, but there wasn¡¯t a hint of anger on her face¡ªonly a deep blush spreading across her cheeks. A pair of lovebirds falling into a dream...


    Reba¡¯s manager had seen everything from the car. She immediately rushed over and said, "Did he do that on purpose? Should I call the police?"


    "No, no! Sister Man, we were just messing around..." Reba quickly stopped her furious manager.


    "Oh, is that so? You should¡¯ve said so earlier! You had me worried for nothing. ¡¯Messing around,¡¯ huh? Just admit you¡¯re dating already." Sister Man, being more experienced, saw right through it.


    Reba could only lower her head like an ostrich.


    It was all that scoundrel¡¯s fault! Next time she saw him, she would make sure he paid for this!


    But as she thought about it, Reba suddenly smiled.

 Chapter 318: Returning to Shanghai

    That day, Jiang Siming returned to Shanghai.


    Coincidentally, Li Yingzi had just returned from her vacation in Thailand last night, and today, everyone was back at work.


    Dai Xiaomei even sent him a message, saying that her best friend had successfully passed an interview at Yinghuan, and the two of them were so happy they practically cried tears of joy.


    As soon as Jiang Siming got off the plane, Qi Muqing and Qi Muxin were already at the airport waiting for him, driving the company¡¯s business car.


    "Chairman, I heard you went to record a show? Are you going to be on TV?"


    Qi Muxin asked curiously, having heard about it from Li Yingzi.


    "What, you think your chairman isn¡¯t good enough to be on TV?" Jiang Siming asked with a smile.


    "Of course you are! I just wanted to know what kind of show it is. Is it a big one? Will it be broadcast on a local channel?" Qi Muxin asked.


    "I¡¯m not telling you, figure it out yourself."


    Qi Muxin pouted but didn¡¯t dare talk back to Jiang Siming, so she just made two funny faces at him as a way to vent her frustration.


    "Chairman, do you have any tasks today?" Her older sister, Qi Muqing, asked while driving.


    Since Jiang Siming usually wouldn¡¯t come to the company unless there was something important.


    "Yeah, a big one."


    Jiang Siming leaned back into the comfortable seat. He had to admit, this Mercedes-Benz business seat was really comfortable.


    Although it wasn¡¯t as luxurious as his sports cars, when it came to comfort, the Mercedes-Benz business seats were definitely top-tier in the industry.


    "By the way, Chairman, there¡¯s a little girl at our company. The front desk just messaged me on WeChat, saying she claims to be your niece and is here to see you," Qi Muxin said, raising her phone.


    "A little girl? Who?" Jiang Siming asked, puzzled.


    "Here, it¡¯s her."


    Qi Muxin handed her phone to Jiang Siming, showing a photo taken by the front desk.


    Jiang Siming took a look and realized it was Zhao Xiaoxiao, that little troublemaker.


    "Tell Xiaoyu and the others to take her to my office and let her wait for me. Next time she comes, don¡¯t stop her." Jiang Siming instructed.


    "Got it, I¡¯ll let Xiaoyu and the team know right away," Qi Muxin replied and immediately sent the message.


    Qi Muqing parked the car downstairs at the company, and the three of them took the elevator up.


    Soon, several other employees from different companies crowded into the elevator, filling it up quickly.


    The two girls quickly hid behind Jiang Siming.


    "Wow~" The receptionists let out sounds of admiration and reverence toward Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming pushed open the door to his office and found Zhao Xiaoxiao sitting in his chairman¡¯s chair, eating an ice cream she had taken from the fridge.


    "Why did you come here by yourself? Where¡¯s your mom?" Jiang Siming walked up to her.


    "My mom¡¯s at work. Today is Children¡¯s Day, so we have a day off from school. I didn¡¯t want to stay home, so I came to find you," Zhao Xiaoxiao said while scooping a big spoonful of strawberry sundae and offering it to Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming graciously took a bite.


    "Hehe, Daddy, your office is so luxurious, way better than Mom¡¯s!" Zhao Xiaoxiao giggled.


    Jiang Siming was already immune to this form of address¡ªor rather, he had gotten used to it.


    "Did you tell your mom? If not, I need to give her a call," Jiang Siming said, worried that Zhao Xuan might be concerned.


    Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately grabbed Jiang Siming¡¯s hand and pleaded softly, "Daddy, don¡¯t tell Mom. She¡¯ll definitely scold me for disturbing your work."


    "But we can¡¯t let your mom worry," Jiang Siming said, reaching for his phone.


    Zhao Xiaoxiao panicked and threw herself into Jiang Siming¡¯s arms, hugging his neck tightly and acting spoiled.


    "Daddy, you¡¯re the best~ Don¡¯t tell Mom, at least not right now. Tell her at noon, okay? That way, even if she scolds me, I can still play for the whole morning."


    As she spoke, Zhao Xiaoxiao playfully kissed Jiang Siming several times, with one landing directly on his lips.


    That was way too (provocative) much (stimulating)!


    Jiang Siming quickly turned her little head away and even licked the ice cream residue she left on his lips.


    He mainly didn¡¯t want to waste food¡ªthe ice cream was expensive, after all.


    "You little brat, do you even know what you¡¯re doing? If you keep messing around, I¡¯ll spank your butt!" Jiang Siming said, giving her a firm pat on her perky little backside.


    "Ouch~ Bad Daddy, that hurt~" Zhao Xiaoxiao pouted and covered her bottom in protest.


    Jiang Siming took the opportunity to press her back into the chair and warned, "If you keep acting up, I¡¯ll call your mom right now."


    "Fine, fine, I won¡¯t mess around anymore. I know Daddy has weak self-control, hehe."


    While speaking, Zhao Xiaoxiao intentionally glanced downward and let out a mischievous giggle.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s mind went blank for a second, and he could only clear his throat to cover up his embarrassment.


    How the hell was this his fault?


    If this little minx hadn¡¯t been teasing him, how could a righteous and pure man like him possibly have a reaction?!

 Chapter 319: Wield the Butcher’s Knife Against Dolce & Gabbana!

    "Dad, today is Children¡¯s Day. Can you take me out to play?" Zhao Xiaoxiao pleaded.


    "You¡¯re already in eighth grade. Do you still count as a child? Who are you trying to fool? I really wonder why your school even gives a holiday for this," Jiang Siming muttered.


    "So what if I¡¯m in middle school? Middle schoolers can celebrate Children¡¯s Day too! Nowadays, even those aunties born in the ¡¯80s and ¡¯90s celebrate June 1st. They want to celebrate Children¡¯s Day and then go do things that aren¡¯t suitable for children."


    "Pfft!" Jiang Siming almost choked on his water.


    Did a child really just say that? But thinking about it, she did have a point...


    "Well, I don¡¯t have time to take you out. I came to the office because I have work to do," Jiang Siming told her.


    "Then take me out after you¡¯re done, okay? Pretty please, dear Dad~" Zhao Xiaoxiao said, trying to hug Jiang Siming and act cute. Fortunately, he blocked her just in time.


    "Where do you want to go? It¡¯s not the arcade again, is it?" Jiang Siming asked.


    "No, I want to watch a movie. ¡¯Avengers: Endgame¡¯ is about to go out of theaters, and I really want to see it," Zhao Xiaoxiao said.


    Just watching a movie¡ªJiang Siming could at least agree to that.


    "Alright, I¡¯ll take you to the movie later. For now, stay in my office and play. I¡¯ll come back after I finish my work," Jiang Siming instructed, worried that she might wander off.


    "Got it, you always treat me like a little kid," Zhao Xiaoxiao protested.


    Her protest was ignored. Jiang Siming didn¡¯t care what was going on in her little head. He told her not to run around and left the office to gather everyone for a meeting.


    A few minutes later, in the conference room, Li Yingzi and a group of elite traders had already assembled. After Qi Muqing mentioned that there was a big task, everyone was full of energy.


    Jiang Siming walked into the office, sat at the front, and got straight to the point: "I won¡¯t say much. Our target this time is a big one¡ªthe German luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana. I¡¯m sure many of you have heard of this company."


    Dolce & Gabbana? D&G?


    Everyone was shocked. That was a top 20 luxury brand in the world, and Jiang Siming actually wanted to go after it?


    Since the Dolce & Gabbana scandal hadn¡¯t happened in this world yet, Jiang Siming only knew about it from the mid-range stock charts, which showed that the incident was about to occur soon.


    Knowing that the company was about to bring about its own downfall, Jiang Siming had no problem playing the role of a modern-day Robin Hood, delivering a heavy blow to Dolce & Gabbana.


    After hearing what Jiang Siming said, Li Yingzi immediately checked D&G¡¯s stock information on her computer.


    Puzzled, she said, "Boss Jiang, D&G¡¯s stock has always been high, even higher than Herme?s. There¡¯s no profit for us if we buy it. A stock this high isn¡¯t going to rise much more."


    "One billion is your capital for this operation. Use it to ruthlessly take advantage of D&G¡¯s misfortune. Remember, act decisively and close the net cleanly. Although we¡¯re betting on it hitting the limit down, a centipede doesn¡¯t die easily. We can¡¯t bring it down completely in one go. Our goal is just to carve a big chunk out of it."


    Jiang Siming¡¯s words sounded crazy, but the amount of capital he provided was enough to make everyone¡¯s blood boil with excitement.


    One billion!


    That was more than 30 times the previous 30 million. How could they not be thrilled?


    If this succeeded, that one billion could easily multiply tenfold, making a hundred billion in profit!


    The thought of participating in a hundred-billion-dollar stock battle made even the most professional traders nervous with excitement and anxiety.


    Jiang Siming then briefed everyone on the expected timing of the stock¡¯s drop and its limit-down phase.


    Since this was a major investment, he had to be cautious. One billion was a huge amount even for him.


    Right now, his total assets were just over two billion, and he was betting half of it in one go¡ªthis was an all-in gamble.


    For the entire morning, Jiang Siming stayed in the conference room, discussing the best strategies and contingency plans for various stock market scenarios.


    By the time everything was finalized, it was already noon.


    "Alright, that¡¯s everything. Now, we just wait for the news in the next couple of days. From today, we take action ahead of time."


    "Yes, Chairman!" Everyone responded in unison.


    Jiang Siming nodded in satisfaction and dismissed the meeting before leaving the conference room.


    Zhao Xiaoxiao was no longer in his office; she had run to the door to wait for him.


    "Bad Daddy, you made me wait all morning," Zhao Xiaoxiao pouted unhappily.


    Jiang Siming knew the little girl had been waiting impatiently.


    "Sorry, Xiaoxiao, I was busy with work. Now I¡¯m done. Let¡¯s go watch the movie, and after that, I¡¯ll take you to Disneyland for a round. How about that?"


    "Yay~ Love you, Daddy~"


    "*Cough cough*... Daddy loves you too..."

 Chapter 320: Zhao Xiaoxiao Likes Japanese Movies?

    A certain movie theater.


    "Pepper, when you hear this recording, don¡¯t be too sad. Death is also a part of life... As I leave, I will see you in my dreams. It has always been only you."


    The movie starts with a scene of a weakened Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr., leaving his final words in a spaceship.


    The once high-spirited and confident Iron Man had suddenly become a frail old man, making many Marvel fans in the audience feel heartbroken.


    Then came the standard Hollywood-style opening¡ªspecial effects of the spaceship and the vast universe. With 3D glasses on, it was quite a breathtaking experience.


    Sitting next to Jiang Siming was Zhao Xiaoxiao, holding a bucket of popcorn with a large cup of Coke beside her.


    As she watched, she occasionally reached out her small hand to feed Jiang Siming some popcorn.


    Just as Iron Man finished his final words, he didn¡¯t actually die.


    Well, of course, protagonists don¡¯t die so easily.


    A female superhero suddenly appeared in space, lifted the spaceship with both hands, and flew it back to Earth.


    "This is even more ridiculous than *Dragon Ball*..." Jiang Siming was speechless.


    He felt that even if he reached the Golden Core stage, he wouldn¡¯t be as powerful as what was shown in this movie.


    Speaking of which, he wondered if reaching the Golden Core stage would allow him to travel through space. It seemed unlikely. Maybe after advancing a few more stages, it would be possible?


    If he could really travel across the universe one day, he had heard of a planet made entirely of diamonds¡ªwouldn¡¯t he be able to take the whole planet for himself?


    Maybe he was thinking too far ahead...


    More than two hours passed.


    Overall, the movie was quite enjoyable.


    There were also many funny moments, like Thor turning into "Gragas the Drunken Barrel," Hulk hating stairs, Ant-Man and Hulk¡¯s taco scene, and Captain America¡¯s "big ass."


    These scenes had the whole theater bursting into laughter.


    In the end, the Marvel heroes thrillingly defeated Thanos, and Iron Man¡¯s sacrifice brought many audience members to tears.


    Strangely, Zhao Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t cry, nor did she laugh at the funny parts.


    She just kept eating her popcorn and drinking her Coke, watching the movie with no expression throughout.


    As they left the theater, Jiang Siming curiously asked, "Was the movie good?"


    "It wasn¡¯t good," Zhao Xiaoxiao said with a disappointed look.


    "But you¡¯re the one who wanted to watch it," Jiang Siming replied.


    "My classmates kept saying how amazing this movie was, hyping it up like crazy, so I came to check it out," Zhao Xiaoxiao said, holding Jiang Siming¡¯s hand.


    Read the latest on


    Jiang Siming was so handsome, like a character straight out of a novel.


    Zhao Xiaoxiao was so cute, like a character straight out of an anime.


    "Daddy, I¡¯m sleepy~"


    As soon as Zhao Xiaoxiao spoke, many male passengers¡¯ hearts melted.


    Female passengers¡¯ hearts shattered¡ªhow could such a young and handsome guy already be a dad?


    "What should we do? Do you want me to hold you while you sleep?" Jiang Siming asked.


    "Mm~" The little girl responded and jumped into Jiang Siming¡¯s arms.


    Her small body clung tightly to him like glue, impossible to shake off.


    She found a comfortable position, rested her head on Jiang Siming¡¯s shoulder, and soon fell asleep.


    The female passengers in the subway car wished they could turn into Zhao Xiaoxiao and snuggle in Jiang Siming¡¯s arms forever.


    Some kind-hearted passengers offered Jiang Siming a seat, but he politely declined with a smile.


    Jiang Siming just stood there holding Zhao Xiaoxiao, completely still.


    When the subway stopped, he wasn¡¯t affected by inertia at all.


    His feet seemed anchored like they had lead weights, unmoving,


    Creating the perfect sleeping environment for Zhao Xiaoxiao, who slept soundly.


    Only in front of Jiang Siming did Zhao Xiaoxiao feel an unprecedented sense of security.


    In the past, when going out with her mother, she always had to stay alert like a bodyguard, watching out for anyone with bad intentions toward her mom.


    But now, with Jiang Siming around, the little girl felt completely at ease.


    They rode all the way to the subway station near their home, and when Jiang Siming carried Zhao Xiaoxiao off the train, she was still asleep.


    After carrying her the whole way, Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t tired at all and continued holding her as he walked home.


    Under the starry night sky, beneath the dim yellow streetlights,


    Jiang Siming cradled Zhao Xiaoxiao, listening to her gentle breathing and soft murmurs in his ear.


    Jiang Siming suddenly thought¡ªhaving a daughter might actually be pretty nice.


    At first, being called "Daddy" by Zhao Xiaoxiao felt awkward and embarrassing.


    But now, Jiang Siming was already used to it.


    In fact, hearing Zhao Xiaoxiao call him "Daddy" now even made him happy.


    Could it be that his hidden "Guilty Father" attribute had been activated?

 Chapter 321: A 3.5 Billion Skyscraper

    Carrying Zhao Xiaoxiao home, Jiang Siming had already told Zhao Xuan during the day that he was taking Xiaoxiao out to play, so Zhao Xuan wasn¡¯t worried.


    Seeing Jiang Siming return Xiaoxiao to her small bedroom, Zhao Xuan blushed and clung to him.


    "You haven¡¯t visited me in so long. Are you starting to dislike me for getting old and losing my charm?" Zhao Xuan pouted with a flushed face.


    "Not at all. Sister Xuan¡¯s beauty is so youthful that people would believe you¡¯re eighteen. The phrase ¡¯old and faded¡¯ won¡¯t apply to you for at least sixty years."


    After absorbing the detoxifying and beauty-enhancing pill, Zhao Xuan had become even more stunning. Her skin was even more delicate than a young girl¡¯s¡ªno one would believe she was thirty.


    "Pfft, sixty years? By then, I¡¯d be ninety! You just love sweet-talking me."


    Although she said that, her expression was radiant with happiness.


    Looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t hold back anymore.


    He scooped her up and carried her straight to the bedroom.


    ...


    The next day, Jiang Siming woke up from his sleep to find that both Zhao Xuan and Zhao Xiaoxiao were already gone. Xiaoxiao had gone to school, and Zhao Xuan had gone to work.


    Zhao Xuan had even left breakfast for him at home.


    Currently, Jiang Siming had four homes in Shanghai: Zhao Xuan¡¯s place, his own villa, Dai Xiaomei¡¯s villa, and Fuding Hotel.


    Having multiple homes was truly a luxury¡ªhe could switch locations at any time and even switch wives. With a life like this, even immortals wouldn¡¯t trade places with him.


    After breakfast, Jiang Siming originally planned to go home and start a livestream. He hadn¡¯t played games for three days, and his hands were itching to play.


    But a call from Li Yingzi summoned him back to the company.


    "The real estate developer of the skyscraper you were looking for has been found, but they¡¯re asking for a high price¡ª3.5 billion."


    Jiang Siming looked at the contract sent over and felt a headache coming on.


    He had forgotten that this was Shanghai¡ªspecifically Lujiazui. Even though the building was only a mid-sized skyscraper, the price was bound to be high.


    He hadn¡¯t expected it to be as steep as 3.5 billion, but after comparing the skyscraper¡¯s project details in the contract, he realized the price wasn¡¯t unreasonably inflated¡ªit was a fair market value.


    That¡¯s why Li Yingzi brought it to him for his opinion.


    "Maybe we should forget about it, or try negotiating to just buy the elevator? That would only cost tens of millions."


    Li Yingzi knew that Jiang Siming had just spent ten billion on acquiring D&G, so he likely didn¡¯t have enough cash left for the skyscraper.


    Jiang Siming shook his head. "It¡¯s not my building. Spending tens of millions to buy them a new elevator¡ªwouldn¡¯t that make me an idiot?"


    "Then what do we do?"


    "Sign the contract. I¡¯ll pay five billion upfront and settle the rest within a year. If they agree, we¡¯ll proceed." Jiang Siming quickly made his decision.


    The skyscraper had to be bought. What kind of true tycoon can¡¯t even afford a building? That would be embarrassing.


    At the very least, he had to say hello. After all, she was his girlfriend¡¯s best friend. If he maintained a good relationship with her, she could help smooth things over if they ever argued in the future.


    Jiang Siming thought he was a genius.


    When he returned home, both of the female homeowners had gone out.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t feel like resting at home either. He rushed into his study and started a livestream.


    For an internet addict like him, going three days without gaming was pure torture. He had to play today!


    Even though he hadn¡¯t streamed for three days, there were still over 800,000 people online in his livestream room.


    For most big streamers, even when they were offline, some fans would hang out in the chat.


    Top-tier streamers usually had around 20,000¨C30,000 people idling in their rooms. Superstars like Xuxu Baobao and PDD had around 60,000¨C70,000.


    But Jiang Siming, after not streaming for three days, still had 824,788 viewers waiting.


    During those three days, the platform had even updated his title to: "Out recording a show, taking a short break."


    Yet even with a black screen for three days, nearly a million people were still online. This was insane.


    "So bored, waited three days and still no stream."


    "Without Ming Shen streaming, I can¡¯t level up my fan badge. So sad~"


    "What is Ming Shen doing? Why does filming a show take so long?"


    "Without Ming God, other streams are just not interesting."


    "I heard from a friend in Chongqing that Ming God might be recording ¡¯Extreme Challenge.¡¯"


    "Seriously? That¡¯s crazy. Why would a top-tier variety show like ¡¯Extreme Challenge¡¯ invite a game streamer?"


    "I won¡¯t eat, I won¡¯t drink¡ªI just want to watch Ming God¡¯s stream!"


    ...


    The viewers¡¯ longing flooded in like a tidal wave, with a million netizens searching for Ming God online.


    Jiang Siming felt guilty after seeing this. If he had known, he would have streamed last night after spending time with Zhao Xuan.


    But actually, that wouldn¡¯t have worked either. Last night, he and Zhao Xuan had been up until past three in the morning. Even if he wanted to stream, he wouldn¡¯t have managed it...


    It was all because of that orange fragment!


    It was the fault of the *Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique*!


    If it hadn¡¯t made him *too* powerful in certain aspects, he could have finished earlier and streamed.


    Yeah, it was all its fault!

 Chapter 322: Get Ready to Jump!

    The audience, who had been casually chatting, suddenly experienced a lag on their phones.


    The livestream, which had been black for three days, suddenly lit up!


    This excited everyone beyond measure.


    Looking closer, the stream wasn¡¯t a replay¡ªit was live!


    "Damn, damn, damn! Finally, it¡¯s live again!"


    "You ghost, you finally decided to come back?"


    "You¡¯ve been out having fun for so long¡ªwere you messing around with some woman?"


    "Honey, remember to use protection when you¡¯re out playing."


    "Uwu, it¡¯s such a rare occasion to see Ming God stream again in this lifetime."


    Seeing these comments, Jiang Siming felt like a flock of crows flew over his head.


    What the hell were they even saying?


    "I told you guys already, I went to record a show! As soon as I finished, I rushed back to start the stream. Isn¡¯t that love?"


    Jiang Siming said, feeling a bit guilty. He didn¡¯t start streaming right after recording¡ªhe had gone to "mess around" with Zhao Xuan and Zhao Xiaoxiao.


    "What kind of show was it?"


    "A Douyu show?"


    "Spill it! What¡¯s the show?"


    Seeing everyone asking, Jiang Siming smiled mysteriously and said, "You¡¯ll find out next week. The show airs then¡ªI already confirmed it with the production team."


    Although everyone was eager to know, Jiang Siming was tight-lipped, so they had no choice but to wait.


    "To make up for not streaming for three days, I¡¯ll give you guys a new song. A little spoiler¡ªI only sang half of this song on the show. I saved the full version just for you guys. How about that?"


    Now, the audience was thrilled.


    "That¡¯s awesome!"


    "I knew Ming God still loved us!"


    "A new song? This is amazing~"


    "Wait, wait! Don¡¯t start yet¡ªI need to wake up my roommates first."


    "Sound the horn! Ming God¡¯s fans, gather up!"


    The stream had barely started, but the viewer count was increasing at a ridiculous speed¡ªfaster than Jiang Siming¡¯s *Butcher¡¯s Bounty* skill.


    In no time, the audience surpassed 8 million.


    By the time Jiang Siming finished singing *Slowly Falling for You*, the viewership had reached 14 million.


    Even after three days of inactivity, his fans couldn¡¯t forget about him, showing just how strong the audience loyalty in Jiang Siming¡¯s stream was.


    *Cough cough*¡ªhe definitely wasn¡¯t making excuses to go flirt, he was just saying... casually.


    After securing the fragment, Jiang Siming quickly looted the Fishing Village. Carrying a QBZ and a MINI14, he started moving out.


    He had only taken a few steps when a faint golden silhouette suddenly appeared to the southeast.


    At first, Jiang Siming thought his [Bandit Instinct] skill had triggered, but then he realized¡ªwait, the silhouettes from that skill are red.


    Why was this one faint gold?


    Taking a closer look, Jiang Siming saw a line of small text above the golden figure¡¯s head.

    "[Famous Streamer ¡¤ Da Sima]"


    He understood¡ªit was [Lucky Encounter]!


    No wonder he had never seen this color before. It was the first time [Lucky Encounter] had triggered.


    Looking at the chat, sure enough, the viewers were already spamming.


    "Ming God, you got matched with Da Sima!"


    "Da Sima is nearby!"


    "It¡¯s true, Da Sima is in the same match as you."


    "Ming God, go kill Da Sima!"


    ...


    Jiang Siming was puzzled¡ªwhy was Da Sima in the same lobby as him?


    He was playing in a top-tier matchmaking bracket.


    "Da Sima borrowed a pro player¡¯s high-ranked account to experience a couple of top-tier games."


    That message in the chat answered Jiang Siming¡¯s question.


    Although he was somewhat acquainted with Da Sima, Jiang Siming had no intention of letting him go.


    [Lucky Encounter] clearly stated that the more famous the player, the higher the chance of dropping fragments when killed, and the better the quality of those fragments.


    Right now, Da Sima was nothing more than a walking hidden fragment in Jiang Siming¡¯s eyes. Without hesitation, he sprinted in his direction.


    Meanwhile, Da Sima was still playing it safe, hiding in a remote area, completely unaware that the number one PUBG player was already hunting him down.


    Feeling confident, Da Sima was chatting with his viewers.


    "I think top-tier matches aren¡¯t that hard. I mean, I¡¯m playing safe right now and haven¡¯t gotten a kill yet, but I believe I¡¯ll definitely get one this match. So, for those of you betting on me getting a kill with fish balls, get ready to cash out big!"


    However, the viewers who had bet on Da Sima getting a kill were now regretting their decision deeply after realizing Ming God was nearby.


    Cash out big? More like prepare to jump off a building!

 Chapter 323: Fake Account, Right?

    "I see someone! Let¡¯s hide quickly, don¡¯t panic."


    After spotting Jiang Siming¡¯s figure, Da Sima didn¡¯t even think and immediately hid behind a tree.


    Da Sima has a funny habit when playing games¡ªhe rarely looks at the chat. Since he¡¯s older, he has to stay fully focused while gaming.


    Let alone a game like PUBG, which for him is an ¡¯SSS-level¡¯ difficulty shooter.


    In PUBG, if there were a ranking for quitting the game quickly, Da Sima would be the undisputed number one.


    At this moment, Jiang Siming seemed completely unaware and kept walking toward Da Sima¡¯s position.


    "That guy¡¯s stance looks unsteady. Let¡¯s ambush him. Don¡¯t shoot yet¡ªlet¡¯s see what he does."


    Da Sima was secretly thrilled, muttering to himself while staring at the screen, imagining the exhilarating feeling of getting a kill in a high-ranked match.


    Once he succeeded, even if people called him bad at PUBG, he could proudly say, "I got a kill in my first top-tier match. What do you have to say now?"


    To ensure he secured the kill, Da Sima waited until Jiang Siming was practically right in front of him.


    Then, he leaned out from behind the tree, raised his gun, and held down the left mouse button without hesitation!


    Tat-tat-tat!


    Da Sima¡¯s fully-equipped SCAR-L, with skins and everything, unleashed a fierce spray at Jiang Siming.


    Bullets hit Jiang Siming¡ªone, two.


    Da Sima grinned, already picturing Jiang Siming collapsing to the ground.


    But just after two bullets landed, Jiang Siming reacted, firing two quick shots with his QBZ.


    -60, -60.


    Two bright red damage numbers floated above Da Sima¡¯s helmet.


    With a cry of despair, he fell to the ground!


    "Sh*t!"


    Da Sima couldn¡¯t help but curse.


    "This guy... sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!"


    He was about to accuse him of hacking, but after seeing the ID, he blurted out even more curses.


    "Is this Ming God? Is this a fake account? A high-quality imitation?"


    A string of question marks filled Da Sima¡¯s mind¡ªhe couldn¡¯t believe he had actually matched with Jiang Siming.


    Explore hidden tales at


    It was like a casual Gold or Silver-ranked player suddenly finding themselves in a match with Faker. Who would believe it?


    But then he realized¡ªthis account belonged to a pro player, so it was actually possible!


    He quickly glanced at the chat, and sure enough, the entire screen was filled with messages.


    "This is the real Ming God."


    "What fake account? This is the real deal!"


    "Fishball bankrupt, time to jump off a building."


    "Can the people in front hurry up? The ones behind are still waiting."


    "Can¡¯t believe you actually matched with a god, huh?"


    "23333, and you thought you could kill Ming God? Are you kidding us?"


    "Mr. Ma, how do you explain this one?"


    Da Sima gave a bitter smile. Who would¡¯ve thought that in his very first top-tier match, he¡¯d run into such a ¡¯pleasant¡¯ surprise?


    But then again, dying at the hands of PUBG¡¯s number one player... that was kind of an honor.


    To regain some dignity, Da Sima turned on the all-chat mic and exchanged a few words with Jiang Siming before finally exiting the game with satisfaction.


    Although he really wanted to ask Jiang Siming to carry him, he ultimately didn¡¯t have the courage to bring it up.


    After all, he wasn¡¯t familiar with Jiang Siming¡ªthey had only met once at the Strongest Streamer Tournament.


    After Da Sima left, Jiang Siming picked up a white shard from his loot.


    "Picked up [LOL Top Lane Mastery] White Shard *1 (1/1), shard count full, can be used directly."


    It turned out the white shard was related to League of Legends.


    Jiang Siming was quite surprised.


    He clicked to use it, and suddenly, a flood of information about LOL entered his mind.


    Especially details about all the top lane champions¡ªCamille, Fiora, Riven, Darius... and so on.


    All their strengths and weaknesses, laning details, and mechanical skills played through his mind.


    It was as if he had played each champion tens of thousands of times.


    Moreover, he became extremely proficient in the top lane role¡ªwave management, precise positioning, warding techniques, lane control standards¡ªhe now understood all of it perfectly.


    Jiang Siming had played League of Legends before and even reached Diamond rank, specializing in top lane.


    But his previous game knowledge was nothing compared to what the shard had granted him.


    Now, if he were thrown into a professional LOL match, he was confident he could utterly crush any top lane opponent.


    Even though this white shard came from another game, Jiang Siming found himself quite fond of it.


    The reason he always played PUBG instead of other games was mainly because other games didn¡¯t drop shards.


    But another reason was that he felt he was too bad at other games and didn¡¯t want to play them.


    Right now, he was a PUBG god, always dominating others¡ªhow could he allow himself to get destroyed in another game?


    So he had always refused to play anything else.


    Sometimes, he did want to play League of Legends, but his pride always held him back.


    But now, with this white shard, even if he got tired of streaming PUBG, he could give his viewers something new to watch.


    Next time, he¡¯d ask Da Sima or PDD for a high-ranked LOL account to play with¡ªhehe.


    After storing the shard away, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even bother looting Da Sima¡¯s bag.


    It was full of junky equipment, completely unworthy of his attention.


    Bidding farewell to Da Sima, Jiang Siming continued searching the map to see if there were any other light-gold players.


    [Lucky Match] increased the probability of encountering famous players.


    Unfortunately, after circling around, he didn¡¯t see any more light-gold figures.


    Instead, he spotted a red silhouette over 1,500 meters away.


    Jiang Siming found an electric scooter on the road and rode straight toward the red figure.


    This red-marked player was quite loaded¡ªLevel 3 helmet, Level 3 armor, and a 15x AWM sniper rifle.


    Clearly, he had just looted an airdrop.


    As Jiang Siming approached, the guy appeared right in front of him.


    The viewers immediately mourned for the poor soul¡ªanother express delivery package.


    The moment this guy saw Jiang Siming, instead of running, he boldly raised his gun and fired.


    The viewers sighed in their hearts¡ªwas staying alive really that bad?


    As expected, after firing just one shot with the AWM, he was instantly deleted by Jiang Siming¡¯s Mini-14 with three quick headshots from the scope!


    Even worse, his one and only AWM shot didn¡¯t even hit¡ªtalk about frustrating.


    "God Ming! God Ming, I¡¯m your fan! I love you!"


    Since Jiang Siming had left all-chat on after talking with Da Sima, this guy was initially frustrated but immediately turned ecstatic when he realized who had killed him.


    He even confessed his admiration on the spot.


    Nowadays in PUBG, hardly anyone didn¡¯t know Jiang Siming.


    And hardly anyone didn¡¯t recognize his in-game ID.


    Even those who had never watched his streams had seen his ID locked at the top of the in-game leaderboards.


    Ever since he reached #1 on the Asia server, he had never dropped from the top spot¡ªnot even for a single day.


    It was impossible not to recognize him.

 Chapter 324: Four Golden Shadows!

    "Hello, hello, I don¡¯t love you, but I love your AWM," Jiang Siming said playfully. The other player wasn¡¯t upset; instead, he was delighted.


    For him, encountering Jiang Siming and dying by his gun was an honor.


    Later, he could find the recording, post it on Douyin, and easily get hundreds of thousands of likes.


    This method had already been tested by many players who had fallen under Jiang Siming¡¯s gun.


    The video of Jiang Siming killing Da Sima was initially estimated by netizens to get at least three million likes.


    Unfortunately, it was uploaded by others. If Jiang Siming were to join Douyin, his followers would definitely surpass Tuantuan¡¯s.


    Many fans had suggested that he join Douyin, but so far, Jiang Siming had no interest.


    Taking down the opponent didn¡¯t drop a fragment, but getting such great equipment was still a good deal.


    A 15x AWM with a suppressor¡ªtruly a divine weapon.


    With it in hand, Jiang Siming embarked on a killing spree.


    Unfortunately, the bounty for this match¡¯s random butcher was only 100 yuan; otherwise, he would have been even happier.


    He continued riding his Yadea electric bike across the Sanhok map.


    Since the map was small, *Bandit¡¯s Instinct* could show great effectiveness even in the early game.


    Although airdrops were rare, the drop rate for level-three armor and 8x scopes was still quite high.


    After just a short while, Jiang Siming spotted a red silhouette with level-three armor.


    The opponent¡¯s first reaction upon seeing Jiang Siming was to open fire.


    In high-rank matches like this, everyone was confident in their aim and would immediately choose to engage in a gunfight.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s vehicle was hit multiple times, and he took two bullets himself.


    However, he remained calm. The moment he got off the bike and landed, he raised his AWM¡ªthen immediately lowered it.


    During this brief motion, he fired a single shot.


    That one shot effortlessly took his opponent¡¯s life.


    *Puff!*


    The silenced Magnum bullet had an especially satisfying sound.


    Just as he eliminated that player, SKS bullets came flying from another direction.


    The first SKS bullet hit Jiang Siming¡¯s body. Combined with the two bullets he had already taken earlier...


    The level-three armor he had just looted was shattered, and his health dropped to a third.


    Yet Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even bother finding cover.


    Standing in the middle of the open road, he twisted his body slightly and successfully dodged the next few SKS shots.


    His AWM was reloaded. The 15x scope was opened!


    If this moment were accompanied by McCree¡¯s voice line from *Overwatch*, it would be absolutely badass.


    *"It¡¯s high noon!"*


    *Puff!*


    McCree¡¯s ultimate was an aimbot, guaranteeing 100% accuracy.


    And Jiang Siming¡¯s sniper rifle? It achieved the same effect!


    A bullet, larger than a 7.62mm round, was fired from this god-tier sniper rifle¡ªthe king of any shooting game!


    When McCree used his ultimate, everyone would immediately panic and scramble for cover.


    But when Jiang Siming raised his sniper rifle, no one even had the chance to find cover!


    The large-caliber sniper round tore through the air at supersonic speed. Enjoy new tales from


    From the road, it shot straight into the head of a player hiding on the cliff!


    Right between the eyebrows!


    The player collapsed, his face frozen in horror.


    Jiang Siming thought things would settle down, but just as one wave calmed, another rose!


    Another gunshot rang out from behind him.


    The audience¡¯s hearts skipped a beat.


    *"This is it for Ming God, right? He¡¯s getting ambushed from behind, and he¡¯s low on health."*


    But before the enemy even fired, *Danger Sense* had already activated!


    Jiang Siming instinctively began extreme dodging and successfully avoided the first round of bullets through his movement.


    There was no time to wait for the AWM to reload.


    He could only switch to the QBZ and turn around to counterattack!


    The intense gunfight between the two lasted only 0.5 seconds.


    In the end, Jiang Siming stood firmly in place, while the ambusher was killed.


    At this moment, Jiang Siming¡¯s health was barely a sliver.


    But it was important to note that all three opponents had the first strike and held the advantage.


    Yet, they were all consecutively taken down by Jiang Siming.


    The audience was thrilled, as the long-missed combination of brutality and extreme skill¡ªthe "Ming God Moment"¡ªhad finally returned after three days.


    The familiar formula, the familiar taste!


    Ming God was still Ming God. Even after not playing for three days, his aim remained incredibly sharp.


    Perhaps this was the difference between mortal players like them and a god...


    With that intense moment over, the rest of the match turned into a one-sided slaughter by Jiang Siming.


    It¡¯s rare to encounter multiple ambushes in a single game¡ªone or two at most¡ªso the rest of the match went smoothly without any surprises.


    He secured the chicken dinner with 21 kills.


    The kill count was a bit low, but that was expected since Jiang Siming didn¡¯t land at the most contested area at the start.


    However, among the last dozen kills, only one fragment dropped, which left Jiang Siming speechless about the drop rate.


    "Picked up [Golf Skills] Red Fragment *1 (2/3), not enough fragments to use yet."


    A total of three fragments in this match¡ªJiang Siming was somewhat satisfied.


    He had experienced worse luck before, where he won a match but didn¡¯t get a single fragment.


    Winning a 21-kill chicken dinner had become routine for Jiang Siming, so he exited the game without any excitement and started another match.


    This time, it was the snow map.


    As soon as he entered the lobby, Jiang Siming was surprised to see several faint golden silhouettes.


    Counting them, there were four in total.


    One of them had an even brighter golden glow than the others.


    Jiang Siming quickly looked at their names.


    [Renowned Player ¡¤ Zhou Lili]


    [Renowned Streamer ¡¤ YJJ]


    [Thai Professional Player ¡¤ teosh]


    [Renowned Streamer ¡¤ Sun Yalong]


    Among them, Sun Yalong¡¯s glow was the brightest, likely due to his popularity.


    After all, Xiaoxiao¡¯s popularity could rival that of Wu Wukai back in the day.


    Seeing these IDs, Jiang Siming was overjoyed¡ªthis match would be a goldmine for fragments!


    The game began.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t rush anywhere; instead, he stayed in the plane, keeping an eye on the four golden silhouettes.


    He ignored Xiaoxiao for now, knowing that Xiaoxiao¡¯s playstyle was to hide and survive as long as possible.


    However, the three streamers were bound to land in a contested area.


    Jiang Siming feared they might die to someone else first, so he had to follow and land with one of them.


    Unexpectedly, all three of them landed in the castle at the center of the snow map!


    This truly surprised Jiang Siming¡ªprofessional players indeed had their pride; they refused to play passively and preferred intense fights.


    That saved Jiang Siming a lot of trouble¡ªperfect!


    Jiang Siming followed them and rapidly descended towards the castle.


    As he deployed his parachute, he noticed that very few players had chosen to land here¡ªaside from the four golden players, only two random players were present.


    But that didn¡¯t matter. As long as he took out the three streamers, the rest were irrelevant.


    Thud!


    Parachute deployed!


    Jiang Siming deliberately slowed his descent to avoid scaring them off by landing too quickly.


    YJJ was the closest to him.


    Jiang Siming landed a second before him, swiftly picked up a UMP submachine gun at his feet, loaded it, and aimed.

 Chapter 325: Three Consecutive Fragments

    At this moment, YJJ had just picked up a shotgun and was in the middle of reloading.


    Seeing that Jiang Siming had already loaded his bullets, he immediately shrank behind a wooden crate next to him, trying to avoid the confrontation until he finished reloading.


    But Jiang Siming had already charged forward. YJJ had no choice but to pause his reload. With only two shells loaded into his S1897, he still believed he had a chance to counter-kill!


    Confidence surged in his mind for a second.


    As Jiang Siming¡¯s footsteps drew closer, YJJ decided to take the initiative and stood up from behind the crate.


    Just as his head emerged, Jiang Siming had already raised his submachine gun.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s terrifying reaction speed and micro-control were so fast that even though YJJ peeked first, Jiang Siming still fired before him.


    *Tatatatata!*


    The UMP¡¯s bullets rained onto YJJ.


    Without a helmet or armor, he was knocked down instantly before he could even fire a single shotgun shell.


    "Damn, how is this guy¡¯s hand speed... Ah, crap! It¡¯s Ming God!"


    YJJ had been slamming his keyboard in frustration, but upon seeing the ID, he suddenly felt at peace.


    No wonder, no wonder. My bad for disturbing a god...


    After eliminating the first golden silhouette, a golden glow immediately appeared in the loot box.


    "Picked up ¡¾Rolls-Royce Wraith¡¿ Gold Fragment *1 (1/3). Insufficient fragments, cannot use yet."


    Ha! A Rolls-Royce?


    Another luxury car for the garage, not bad at all~


    After collecting the fragment, Jiang Siming was about to look for the other targets when a burst of bullets sprayed onto the wooden crate beside him.


    If he had carelessly run out just now, he might have met his demise on the spot.


    Ducking back behind cover, Jiang Siming glanced in the direction of the gunfire¡ªit was the Thai professional player.


    Thai players were known for their aggressive playstyle, often a wild card in professional matches.


    Sometimes, they would rush in recklessly and hand you a free kill, but other times, they would overwhelm you with sheer brute force.


    They were players who didn¡¯t rely on tactics, only focusing on honing their personal skills, making them incredibly formidable in one-on-one fights.


    The Thai player, Teosh, smirked confidently as he kept Jiang Siming pinned behind the crate.


    "Why are you still hiding? You¡¯re going to die anyway, why not just lift your head and let me kill you?" Teosh sneered with a greasy grin.


    Jiang Siming actually peeked!


    Teosh¡¯s eyes lit up as he shifted his aim towards Jiang Siming and prepared to fire¡ª


    But Jiang Siming¡¯s gun fired first!


    A full magazine of 9mm bullets tore through Teosh¡¯s Level 1 helmet, sending him crashing to the ground.


    Teosh was in utter disbelief. "En???"


    Then, seeing the ID, the grin on his face completely vanished, replaced by sheer awkwardness.


    Meanwhile, his Thai audience filled the livestream chat with shocked emojis, as if they had just seen a ghost.


    "You think you can corner me? Keep dreaming, little Thai buddy."


    Jiang Siming chuckled disdainfully, but the golden glow from Teosh¡¯s loot was certainly worth paying attention to.


    "Picked up ¡¾Rolls-Royce Wraith¡¿ Gold Fragment *1 (2/3). Insufficient fragments, cannot use yet."


    Another one! Not bad, his luck was looking pretty good!


    With the second golden target secured, Jiang Siming turned his focus to the last one¡ªZhou Lili.


    At this moment, Zhou Lili had just finished eliminating the two random players and was on fire.


    After spotting Jiang Siming¡¯s position, he didn¡¯t rush in recklessly but instead pulled out a grenade and tossed it towards Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming happened to find a frying pan on the wooden crate while looting earlier.


    He and YJJ had been too busy fighting to pick it up before.


    "Hah, you¡¯re really looking for trouble. Alright then, I won¡¯t hold back!"


    Jiang Siming finished speaking and leaped from the ground, precisely striking the incoming grenade with the frying pan in his hand.


    The grenade was instantly sent flying back, landing right above Zhou Lili¡¯s head and exploding with a loud bang.


    "I f***..."


    That was the last thing Zhou Lili said before meeting his end.


    "Picked up [Golf Skills] Red Fragment *1 (3/3), fragment count is full, can be used immediately."


    Jiang Siming effortlessly took down all three golden figures.


    Leaving the castle, Jiang Siming glanced at Xiaoxiao¡¯s position¡ªit was four large grid squares away. Xiaoxiao was happily looting gear at some unknown seaside location.


    Jiang Siming found a snowmobile and drove straight toward Xiaoxiao¡¯s location.


    In Xiaoxiao¡¯s livestream, just like Dama¡¯s, the atmosphere was peaceful and filled with joy.


    "I just love the snow map in this game; it¡¯s really beautiful. Look at this snow¡ªso pretty."


    "I¡¯m telling you guys, this game isn¡¯t just about killing people. Look at me, a peaceful player, living a chill life, away from conflicts."


    "Brothers, I swear I¡¯m not trying to camp for placement. Even though my bet is on making the top ten, I¡¯m not deliberately playing for placement, okay? Do you guys believe me? Well, it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t."


    Xiaoxiao was playing on the account of a professional PUBG streamer he had hired. Normally, he and Xika streamed League of Legends during the day, and at night, hired PUBG streamers would take over.


    This way, De Yun Club could have nearly 12 hours of continuous livestream content every day, offering a diverse variety of shows.


    Today, Xiaoxiao had a sudden urge to play PUBG himself, so he logged into the club¡¯s PUBG streamer account.


    He had already played several matches, but each time, he either got killed immediately upon encountering an enemy or died right after landing.


    This time, no matter what, he was determined to fulfill his promise and camp his way into the top ten in a high-rank lobby, so that his viewers would finally let him end the stream.


    Getting a top ten placement to log off? Xiaoxiao thought it was an easy task. As long as he camped properly, there would be no issues at all.


    Even with zero kills, that wouldn¡¯t stop him from reaching the top ten.


    "You¡¯re talking about living a peaceful life? Ming God is heading straight for you!"


    "Still daydreaming? You¡¯re dead meat soon."


    "Xiaoxiao, run! Ming God is hunting down players and is almost at your location!"


    "I think I¡¯ll have to stay up all night watching your stream if you even want a chance at top ten."


    ...


    Seeing the barrage of messages in the chat, Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t believe it at first. How could Jiang Siming possibly be in the same match as him? That was absurd!


    But after seeing so many viewers saying the same thing, Xiaoxiao gradually started to believe it.


    "It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. We¡¯ll just hide inside a house and stay completely still. As long as we don¡¯t fire a shot, we¡¯ll be safe."


    Xiaoxiao was surprisingly calm, completely giving up any thoughts of resistance. He found a house, hid inside, and waited it out.


    When Jiang Siming arrived, he was a bit troubled¡ªXiaoxiao was turtled up inside the house, refusing to come out. If Jiang Siming rushed in directly, it would be too obvious.


    Anyone watching would think something was up. Even if there was no concrete proof, he didn¡¯t want to stir up any controversy or make viewers suspicious.


    Since Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t making a move, Jiang Siming had no way to deal with him, even though he knew for sure he was inside.


    After circling around, Jiang Siming decided to leave.


    There weren¡¯t any other players nearby for now, so leaving Xiaoxiao alone for a while wouldn¡¯t hurt.


    .bg-container-10448869e4d{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; } .bg-ssp-10448{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;} .bg-container-10448f61e68{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; }


    With that in mind, Jiang Siming began clearing out all the enemies around Xiaoxiao¡¯s location.


    Anyone within range¡ªJiang Siming eliminated them all.


    He was worried that Xiaoxiao might accidentally get killed by other players, so he ended up acting as his temporary bodyguard.


    And honestly, Jiang Siming was one hell of a bodyguard¡ªthere wasn¡¯t a single living being within a 500-meter radius.

 Chapter 326: The Anti-Korea Hero: Sun Yalong

    Until the fourth circle, when the safe zone refreshed to the other side, Jiang Siming finally drove off to escape the poison.


    Xiaoxiao huddled in that old house, shivering, and finally let out a sigh of relief.


    He had been hiding in that house the whole time, listening to the sounds of cars and gunfire outside. He was so scared that he almost passed out and didn¡¯t dare to go out at all.


    That kill feed in the top right corner, displaying that globally feared ID, terrified him.


    "It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. If I survive a great disaster, there will surely be blessings ahead. Ming God has already left, and there¡¯s not a single living soul within a hundred miles. In fact, I¡¯m the safest one here."


    Xiaoxiao rationally analyzed the situation and felt that he was really lucky to have Ming God as his bodyguard.


    Although the experience was terrifying, the rewards were huge¡ªutter silence all around, not a single living player left.


    "We have to move now. There are still 35 people left, and Ming God has wiped out everyone in my area. I think top ten is guaranteed, hahaha!"


    Xiaoxiao grinned proudly, thinking that after this match, he could finally log off.


    He needed to spend some quality time with his new girlfriend, Gaga.


    Thinking about his childhood sweetheart, his ex-girlfriend who had betrayed him, Xiaoxiao felt like he had been blind all those years.


    Luckily, he had found out early enough. Otherwise, if they had a child, it would have been even worse.


    That woman had been dumped by a rich second-generation heir and now wanted to come back to him. Pfft! Dream on!


    A few days ago, she even entered his livestream and sent him virtual gifts. Xiaoxiao just smiled and politely said, "Thank you, President Hui."


    Then, he coolly continued chatting with his viewers.


    Many fans admired his composure and gave him a big thumbs-up!


    Now, Xiaoxiao had found a kind and caring woman from his hometown. Life was wonderful. His new wife might not be very beautiful, but she was understanding, kind, and filial.


    Comparing the two, Xiaoxiao felt just like his current situation¡ªescaping disaster and finding fortune afterward!


    Xiaoxiao carefully sneaked into the safe zone. As soon as he reached the edge, he immediately lay down behind a tree. His movement and speed were straight out of the playbook of a true "rat player."


    But just as he lay down, his livestream chat exploded with laughter.


    "Square Dragon, look to your side!"


    "Hahaha, you literally just laid down right next to someone!"


    "Esports really doesn¡¯t require eyesight, huh? Bro, there¡¯s someone to your right!"


    "Sun Xiaochuan, are you trolling?!"


    "Ming God: ????"


    ...


    Seeing the chat, Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart skipped a beat!


    He turned his head and saw a player right next to him, pointing a gun at his head.


    "AHHH!!!"


    Xiaoxiao was so scared he almost had a heart attack on the spot.


    It was just like when you¡¯re playing PUBG, fully focused, and suddenly someone shoots at you from out of nowhere. Any PUBG player would know this feeling.


    "Oh my god."


    Xiaoxiao barely managed to calm down and realized the enemy hadn¡¯t fired yet. He quickly turned on his mic to beg for mercy.


    Bang! Bang!


    Two shots.


    Before he could even finish his sentence, Xiaoxiao was dead.


    "Ming God, Ming God, I¡¯m your fa¡ª"


    "It¡¯s fine... I¡¯m actually your anti-fan."


    Xiaoxiao¡¯s face fell. He had thought he had escaped death, only to die an even worse death.


    "Ming God, I was just kidding! I really am your fan¡ªyour music fan, actually!"


    Afraid Jiang Siming might misunderstand, Xiaoxiao immediately stopped joking and clarified.


    "Hello, Anti-Korea Hero Sun Yalong."


    Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t mad. Instead, he smiled and greeted him.


    "Wow, Ming God, I¡¯m really honored that you called me that! Can I add you as a friend, big bro~?"


    Xiaoxiao asked eagerly, while his fans covered their faces in embarrassment, feeling second-hand shame.


    "No problem. Since I killed you, I¡¯ll add you as a friend."


    Jiang Siming agreed and added Xiaoxiao as a friend before looting his death box.


    "Picked up [LOL Game Sense Talent] White Fragment (1/1). Fragment count is full. Can be used directly."


    Another League of Legends game fragment.


    Jiang Siming gladly accepted it¡ªhe had already acquired top lane mechanics, and now he had game sense as well.


    Is playing an LOL professional match such a big deal? Reaching King is even easier, right? He¡¯s never even reached King, never even made it to Master. Feels great. After bidding farewell to Xiao Xiao, Jiang Siming continues his killing spree. Xiao Xiao didn¡¯t leave, choosing to watch and observe God¡¯s gameplay. Read exclusive adventures at


    Even though he knows he can¡¯t learn it, watching the expert play is still an enjoyment. At times like this, he doesn¡¯t mind wasting a little time. If necessary, he won¡¯t accompany his wife today and will learn Ming God¡¯s skills and admire his brilliance.


    Later, he could carry Ming God¡¯s BUFF and hopefully sneak into the top ten! Xiao Xiao glanced at the number of viewers in the top right corner¡ªwow, 19 people were watching. Only those who were killed by the other side could watch, so Jiang Siming must have at least gotten 19 kills, maybe even more, possibly some who died without watching.


    "Can I say that the number of people he killed in one game is what I couldn¡¯t kill in a year..." Xiao Xiao covered his face, complaining.


    After killing four golden silhouettes, Jiang Siming no longer had to scheme and could just focus on killing! He continued this until the game ended, and the last person was simply eliminated with a grenade. Xiao Xiao and the other spectators watched Jiang Siming kill one after another like watching a god.


    .bg-container-10448869e4d{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; } .bg-ssp-10448{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;} .bg-container-10448f61e68{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; }


    At first, Xiao Xiao counted the kills, but as it went on, he couldn¡¯t keep up. The whole time, they were just watching Jiang Siming collect kills; any creature that appeared in his line of sight couldn¡¯t escape his gunfire. Because of this, Xiao Xiao¡¯s fans were taken away in large numbers. They all went to watch Jiang Siming¡¯s stream, leaving Xiao Xiao feeling like crying but not being able to. What kind of world is this... Eventually, Jiang Siming achieved 31 kills and won, but after that, he didn¡¯t get any more shards, which made him feel satisfied. In a casual match, getting four shards and still not satisfied?


    What more do you want? The entire day, Jiang Siming played from morning to evening. He finally got his fill of gaming. Except for the two matches with golden silhouettes, the subsequent matches only had two golden silhouettes, both of which were game streamers or professional players. In the end, Jiang Siming only got three shards: two gold and one red. One was for the Rolls-Royce Phantom, which he collected. The other was a red skill called "Upper-Class Etiquette," which felt useless, and it needed three more shards¡ªthis was the worst.


    The last shard was for "Wanda Amusement Park," which Jiang Siming liked the most. He already had five shards and just needed three more. Heh heh. In the evening, Yin Zhirou and Wang Xinyi both returned. It was Friday, and Xinyi eagerly drove home. Jiang Siming didn¡¯t feel like playing anymore, so he greeted the viewers and ended the stream, not even singing a song.


    He¡¯d already sung "Slowly Falling in Love with You" when the stream started, and now after streaming for so long, they still wanted him to sing? Fat chance! On regular short streams, he¡¯d sing as a bonus, but when streaming for long hours, Jiang Siming refused. He couldn¡¯t indulge these people, or else they¡¯d be asking him to sing every day.

 Chapter 327: Self-Destructive D&G

    "Senior Brother, you¡¯re back? Why didn¡¯t you notify us in advance? Sister Zhijou and I would have come to pick you up."


    Wang Xinyi thought Jiang Siming wouldn¡¯t be back until tonight.


    She had been eager to return home, planning to find Yin Zhijou and head to the airport.


    But as soon as she arrived, she noticed that the kitchen fruits had been touched. Going upstairs, she saw a pile of fruit peels in the trash bin¡ªit was obviously Jiang Siming¡¯s doing.


    Her man was back.


    The two women were overjoyed but didn¡¯t want to disturb him, so they went downstairs to cook.


    "You two are both in school. Taking leave all the time isn¡¯t good, and besides, I was only gone for two days. I¡¯m not a kid."


    Jiang Siming chuckled. These two women were spoiling him too much.


    At home, they wouldn¡¯t let him do any housework, nor would they let him enter the kitchen.


    His daily needs¡ªfood, clothing, shelter, and transportation¡ªwere all taken care of by them.


    Jiang Siming felt that if this continued, he might really start thinking of himself as an emperor...


    "Let¡¯s eat first. The food is ready. Today, we made soy-braised chicken cubes, steamed glutinous rice pork, sweet and sour ribs, and egg drop soup."


    "The steamed glutinous rice pork and egg drop soup were made by Sister Zhijou. Since you were in Chongqing for a few days, we figured you must have had a lot of spicy food, so we made something milder for you."


    Wang Xinyi grinned as she scooped a bowl of rice for Jiang Siming.


    This wasn¡¯t just an occasional gesture¡ªthis was Jiang Siming¡¯s daily treatment at home.


    He had seen many men online complaining that their girlfriends didn¡¯t cook, were bossy, or were too controlling.


    Stay updated via


    Jiang Siming could only say: Sorry, I have no experience with that.


    With so many wives, not a single one was like what they described. Isn¡¯t that frustrating?


    The three of them sat together at home, enjoying a warm dinner.


    Jiang Siming took big bites of the food his women prepared. No matter how great restaurant food was, he only loved home-cooked meals.


    In terms of cooking skills, his two women were no less than professional chefs.


    They often learned new dishes to "feed" Jiang Siming, completely spoiling his taste buds.


    If not for the gene modification drugs he took, they would have fattened him up by now.


    When it came to cooking, Wang Xinyi and Yin Zhijou were top-tier chefs, specializing in Zhejiang and Cantonese cuisine.


    Tuan Tuan was also a decent cook, skilled in Hunan cuisine¡ªtypical for a Fujian girl.


    Dai Dai, on the other hand, was terrible at cooking. But recently, she had been learning from Tuan Tuan.


    She was worried Jiang Siming would dislike her for not knowing how to cook, so she was trying to catch up fast.


    She used to swear in her livestreams that if she ever had a boyfriend, she would never cook.


    She said she would find a man who could cook for her because there was no way she would ever step into the kitchen.


    But reality had slapped her hard in the face. Now, she deeply regretted not learning how to cook earlier.


    "What was I even thinking back then? Why didn¡¯t I just learn some cooking skills?"


    Then there was Zhao Xuan. She was also a great cook and would often make meals for Xiaoxiao after work.


    As for Jiang Lan, Jiang Siming had never tasted her cooking before. She probably, maybe, most likely didn¡¯t know how to cook.


    "Sister Zhijou, Senior Brother, look at this news! It¡¯s unbelievable!"


    While eating, Wang Xinyi scrolled through her phone and found a shocking piece of news. She immediately shared it with the other two.


    Jiang Siming and Yin Zhijou leaned in to take a look.


    **[Breaking News: Dolce & Gabbana Ad Sparks Outrage for Insulting China!]** #WeiboTrending No.1


    The news had only been posted for two hours, yet it had already shot up to the top trending spot on Weibo.


    This was even bigger than when Jiang Siming made ten billion overnight.


    Clicking on the news, they saw D&G¡¯s latest advertisement video.


    In the video, a Chinese woman sat at a dining table, pretending to eat. She held a pair of chopsticks in an extremely awkward and unnatural way, laughing continuously.


    Anyone watching it would want to curse: "What the hell are you laughing at?"


    She laughed while demonstrating the use of chopsticks, mocking Chinese culture in a highly sarcastic manner.


    Below the video was an explosive revelation: leaked chat records of D&G¡¯s designers and executives.


    In the chat logs, the senior executives and designers of this luxury brand compared Chinese culture to excrement, using words like disgusting, boring, and nauseating to describe China and its culture.


    Even on Facebook and Twitter, their private posts were full of disdain for Chinese culture.


    Chinese netizens who saw this news were furious, which explains why this story made it to the top of the trending list within two hours.


    This was a major insult to China, and it wasn¡¯t just from an individual¡ªit came from a well-known company.


    As soon as the news broke, D&G¡¯s official Chinese website and Weibo account were flooded with angry comments from countless Chinese netizens.


    Even Facebook and Twitter, which are usually inaccessible in China, were not spared, as Chinese netizens bypassed restrictions to flood their pages.


    A single stone stirred up a thousand waves!


    This luxury brand, which many people hadn¡¯t even heard of before, became famous overnight in China¡ªbut in the worst possible way.


    Unfortunately for them, this fame was a disaster!


    "This brand is absolutely disgusting. How could they have such executives and designers?" Yin Zhirou said angrily.


    Even someone as calm and gentle as this piano teacher was enraged¡ªone could only imagine how furious the rest of China was.


    "Yeah, I¡¯ve always heard that D&G was anti-China, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be this bad. Luckily, I¡¯ve never bought anything from them," Wang Xinyi said with relief.


    If she had, she would never use their products again.


    Jiang Siming continued eating, his eyes filled with a cold sneer.


    Just as the fragments had predicted, this self-destructive brand had only itself to blame.


    Right after finishing his meal, Jiang Siming¡¯s phone rang¡ªit was Li Yingzi.


    As soon as he picked up, Li Yingzi was practically bursting with excitement.


    "Xiao Mingzi, your insider info was spot on! We just invested ten billion yesterday, and now this happens today! Hahaha!"


    Li Yingzi was so excited she almost needed a loudspeaker to shout in Jiang Siming¡¯s ear.


    Ever since the scandal broke, D&G¡¯s stock in China had been plummeting!


    Li Yingzi was grateful they had acted early¡ªif they tried to short it now, they probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to get in.


    "Keep watching. Wait until it hits the limit down. Don¡¯t rush to cash out¡ªwe need to make these bastards suffer for a long time," Jiang Siming said with a faint smile.


    "No problem! Boss, I¡¯ll get back to work!"


    After hanging up, Jiang Siming checked D&G¡¯s stock on his phone.


    Sure enough, it was dropping rapidly, just as Li Yingzi had said.


    Originally priced at over 30 yuan, it had already fallen to 25 yuan.


    A drop of just 5 yuan might not seem like much, but for a major corporation with billions of shares, this was a catastrophic loss.


    D&G¡¯s market value was in the hundreds of billions, so this drop had already evaporated tens of billions¡ªand the worst was yet to come.


    Jiang Siming knew this was only the beginning.


    Once the stock hit its limit down, that would be the moment D&G truly learned its lesson.


    .bg-container-10448869e4d{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; } .bg-ssp-10448{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;} .bg-container-10448f61e68{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; }


    After thinking for a moment, Jiang Siming called Qi Muqing and asked her to check with the company to see who had purchased D&G products.


    If anyone had, he would buy them back at full price.


    Paying full price to repurchase these items from his employees wasn¡¯t giving money to D&G¡ªit was giving it to his own people.


    As for why he was collecting them, Jiang Siming certainly had his reasons.

 Chapter 328: Live Stream Unboxing Showdown!

    The next evening, Jiang Siming started his live stream as usual.


    After a day of fermenting, the D&G insult scandal had spread widely across China.


    CCTV even called out D&G by name and taught them what real chopstick culture was.


    This morning, D&G¡¯s executives hurriedly issued an apology, but it was completely useless.


    The incident had blown up too much.


    D&G flagship stores across the country were forced to close urgently, leaving them deserted.


    Their scheduled exhibitions and fashion shows had to be canceled and postponed indefinitely.


    D&G¡¯s stock had already dropped to 12 yuan in a single day, with no signs of rebounding.


    The company had lost hundreds of billions in a single day, and their executives panicked.


    Not only did they delete the apology link, but they also mocked Chinese people as forgetful, claiming they would resume buying their products soon.


    This completely exposed their true nature and further ignited the fury of the Chinese public.


    Even in Jiang Siming¡¯s live stream chat, people were cursing them.


    This time, Jiang Siming unexpectedly appeared on camera and aimed it at himself and his computer desk.


    Everyone immediately noticed that his desk was filled with D&G bags and clothing.


    "What the hell, Ming God? You¡¯re still buying D&G stuff at a time like this?"


    "Ming God, are you trying to get yourself killed? Are you standing against all Chinese people?"


    "Damn, I¡¯m about to switch from fan to hater, you believe me?"


    "Ming God wouldn¡¯t be that reckless. Let¡¯s see how he explains this."


    ...


    Public outrage is terrifying. Even with Jiang Siming¡¯s immense popularity, if he stood against the masses, he would be doomed.


    The director of *Go Fighting!* was casually watching the live stream while eating, and nearly choked on his ribs.


    "This guy... He can¡¯t be this stupid, right..."


    The director was panicking¡ªif Jiang Siming really caused a scandal, the latest episode they had recorded would be scrapped. There would be no way for his footage to air.


    It would be just like when Wu Xiubo¡¯s cheating scandal broke out¡ªhis scenes in *The Investiture of the Gods* were all cut and replaced with a different actor¡¯s face, even if people complained that it looked weird.


    Celebrities might seem glamorous, but one wrong step could cost them everything.


    However, the disaster everyone feared did not happen.


    "Everyone, don¡¯t misunderstand. These clothes and bags were collected from my friends. Since yesterday, they all decided they would never use D&G products again and gave them to me."


    Jiang Siming smiled and said, "As for why I collected these? Because D&G said we¡¯re forgetful, right? Now I¡¯ll show them just how firm we are on this matter!"


    Saying that, he picked up a high-quality crocodile leather bag and casually tore it apart. The bag, worth over 30,000 yuan, was ripped in half on the spot! Find more to read at


    Then he grabbed a limited-edition backpack worth over 70,000 yuan and shredded it just the same.


    One by one, he tore every single D&G item on the table to pieces. Some of the later bags and clothes were worth over 100,000 yuan each.


    In less than two minutes, Jiang Siming had destroyed millions of yuan worth of goods.


    "Well done!"


    "Just for this, I have to stan!"


    "This is the most badass streamer I¡¯ve ever seen."


    "It looks a bit rough, but I think this is the most satisfying way to handle it."


    "Are these bags that fragile? They rip so easily? Good thing I never bought one."


    "I was planning to get my girlfriend one this year¡ªguess what? Not anymore!"


    ...


    Jiang Siming¡¯s move won him overwhelming praise.


    After packing the torn bags and clothes into a garbage bag, Jiang Siming pointed at the bag and said, "Trash belongs in the trash bag."


    Hahaha... The audience burst into laughter. Well said!


    After throwing the garbage bag outside, Jiang Siming returned to the stream and said to everyone:


    "For those who previously bought this brand, you don¡¯t have to follow my example. After all, it was your own money. Since the money has already gone to those bastards, just take it as a lesson learned. There¡¯s no need to destroy the items like I did. After all, I¡¯m rich, right?"


    Jiang Siming made a joke but also guided his audience on how to properly resist the brand.


    Then, he seriously told everyone:


    "Since Dolce & Gabbana wants to see how long we can sustain the boycott, let me set an example. From today onwards, if anyone still buys their products, I don¡¯t care who you are¡ªwhether you¡¯re my fan, my friend, or even my girlfriend¡ªsorry, but we¡¯re done."


    Jiang Siming¡¯s words were harsh, but the audience found them incredibly satisfying. That¡¯s exactly how it should be.


    "And one more thing¡ªregardless of any past conflicts we¡¯ve had, or if I¡¯ve ever insulted you, as long as you never buy D&G products again, you¡¯re my brother. If I ever said ¡¯NMSL¡¯ to you, then as long as you don¡¯t buy D&G, not only is your mom resurrected, but I¡¯ll personally put a Revive Armor on her!"


    Hahahahahahaha...


    This move was absolutely 6666+!


    The entire chat erupted in laughter.


    "Ming Shen, you¡¯re an absolute marketing genius!"


    "This speech is insanely brilliant!"


    "I¡¯m dying of laughter. Ming Shen, from now on, you¡¯re my brother for life because I¡¯ll never buy their stuff in my life!"


    "Ming Shen, you¡¯re seriously an advertising genius."


    "Boycotting D&G starts with Ming Shen, starts with ourselves!"


    "Well said! Let those Italian pigs see just how forgetful we really are!"


    "Ming Shen said exactly what I wanted to say! If anyone I know still buys their stuff, even if it¡¯s my own mom, I won¡¯t acknowledge them anymore!"


    Jiang Siming¡¯s words and actions added more fuel to the fire of the D&G scandal.


    That night, his video and actions skyrocketed to second place on trending searches.


    His impact was far greater than that of Chinese celebrities who had previously endorsed D&G and later announced the termination of their contracts.


    Especially his final words, which contained a bit of profanity¡ªthey didn¡¯t make netizens feel like he was rude. Instead, they found him incredibly charming!


    As a result, not only did Jiang Siming help accelerate D&G¡¯s downfall, but he also gained a massive wave of popularity and fans.


    After midnight, D&G¡¯s stock price fell below double digits, dropping to $8!


    When D&G found out, they were furious and wanted to sue Jiang Siming. Unfortunately, not a single court or lawyer in China was willing to take the case.


    .bg-container-10448869e4d{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; } .bg-ssp-10448{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;} .bg-container-10448f61e68{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; }


    How infuriating is that?


    In a fit of rage, D&G announced at 2 AM that they were severing ties with China and would no longer sell any products there.


    When people heard the news, they weren¡¯t angry at all. Instead, they celebrated, feeling happier than they would on a holiday!


    Of course, the happiest of all was Yinghuan Financial.

 Chapter 329: Raking in 30 Billion!

    After Jiang Siming tore into D&G, many people in the entertainment industry showed their support.


    After all, Jiang Siming was the new boss of Huayi, and Huayi¡¯s celebrities naturally had to support him.


    Almost everyone at Huayi spoke up¡ªLiu Jialing, Wu Junru, Michelle Yeoh, Chen Daoming, and many others¡ªvoicing their support for Jiang Siming and urging everyone to boycott D&G.


    How could they miss such an opportunity to curry favor with their new boss?


    Huayi practically mobilized its entire roster, each posting on Weibo, making it impossible for the topic not to go viral.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s actions played a significant role in D&G¡¯s downfall in China.


    Otherwise, with such a large corporation, even a dying camel is still bigger than a horse¡ªhow could they collapse so miserably in just two or three days?


    Aside from Huayi¡¯s celebrities, two non-Huayi female stars also publicly responded.


    One was Dilraba Dilmurat, a top-tier actress in China.


    She openly supported Jiang Siming on Weibo and even posted a video of herself cutting up all the D&G items she had previously purchased and throwing them into the trash.


    The other celebrity¡¯s response was even more surprising.


    That star was none other than South Korea¡¯s Im YoonA!


    On Twitter, not only did she directly express her support for Jiang Siming, but she also made her stance clear¡ªshe would never use D&G in her lifetime.


    This shocked many people.


    D&G had never offended South Korea, so why would a Korean artist publicly declare her opposition to D&G?


    More importantly, why would she support a Chinese streamer?


    This left not only Chinese netizens puzzled but also confused Korean netizens.


    Could it really be that she just happened to see the news and got emotionally stirred into tweeting her support?


    Setting that aside, D&G¡¯s crisis was the more pressing matter.


    This level of boycott wasn¡¯t just a minor loss¡ªit was catastrophic.


    On the third day, D&G hit the stock market¡¯s limit-down in China, and this movement even affected other countries.


    Experts estimated that D&G lost at least 60 billion in three days.


    Not only that, but they were also completely driven out of China at an unbelievable speed.


    From being one of the top ten luxury brands globally, they plummeted to 27th place in just a few days.


    Their market value suffered a severe shrinkage, triggering a chain reaction that led to a sharp decline in sales worldwide.


    This is the power of public sentiment¡ªwhen everyone hypes up a product, people naturally follow the trend and buy it.


    But when everyone criticizes it, nobody wants to touch it.


    With D&G¡¯s stock price crashing, many sharp-eyed companies made a fortune, including Chongqing¡¯s Tianxiang Finance, which had previously established a good relationship with Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming casually mentioned something to them over the phone, and Tianxiang immediately invested 20 million, multiplying their return tenfold and earning 200 million.


    The CEO of Tianxiang was so regretful he nearly jumped off a building¡ªhe had invested just 20 million as a test for safety.


    Who could have known the profit would be so immense? And it ended so fast that he didn¡¯t even get a chance to invest more.


    The biggest winner, of course, was Yinghuan Finance.


    They made the most, shorting D&G stock at its peak, with the most astonishing returns.


    In just three days, their 1 billion investment multiplied 30 times!!!


    When they closed their positions, Li Yingzi couldn¡¯t believe it.


    Even the entire trading team was in a daze.


    What¡¯s 30 times 1 billion? 30 billion...


    Why did this feel even easier than the time they turned 30 million into over a billion?


    Back then, they had to work for over half a month.


    But this time, they made 30 billion in just three days.


    If Jiang Siming hadn¡¯t done that livestream, the celebrities wouldn¡¯t have all spoken out.


    Maybe D&G could have held on longer and had time to dump their stocks, and Yinghuan wouldn¡¯t have made such an extreme profit.


    It was precisely because of the butterfly effect triggered by Jiang Siming that a nationwide wave of boycotts erupted.


    D&G didn¡¯t even have time to react before their stock plummeted to rock bottom.


    Their shares were stuck in their hands, turning to worthless scraps, and in the end, Yinghuan Finance reaped the benefits.


    Yinghuan Finance instantly became famous in the industry!


    They skyrocketed from a small financial firm to a top-tier financial giant!


    Countless financial companies swarmed in, seeking cooperation, and even more billionaires set their sights on Yinghuan Finance¡ªone of whom was none other than Alibaba¡¯s chairman, Ma Yun.


    But what Ma Yun valued wasn¡¯t the 30 billion that Yinghuan had earned.


    What he admired was their keen and precise judgment.


    When he found out that Yinghuan¡¯s boss was a young, unknown entrepreneur, he was even more astonished.


    He investigated Jiang Siming¡¯s background and confirmed that he wasn¡¯t a second-generation rich heir¡ªhis family was just a rural household. This man had built his empire from scratch.


    He also examined all of Jiang Siming¡¯s assets and found nothing suspicious.


    On top of that, Jiang Siming even held shares in Huayi, and surprisingly, his shares were larger than Ma Yun¡¯s own.


    Every asset was clean and traceable, with a perfectly clear financial trail¡ªflawless.


    This made Mr. Ma feel both shocked and highly interested in Jiang Siming.


    As for Jiang Siming himself, he suddenly earned 30 billion.


    The key point was that this 30 billion was completely solid, without any hidden costs, and he didn¡¯t even need to pay taxes.


    Stock transactions are classified as property transfers and are not subject to taxation.


    Otherwise, Jiang Siming would have had to give away at least several billion from this 30 billion.


    This was also the largest sum Jiang Siming had ever earned in one go, so much that he didn¡¯t even know how to spend it.


    "How did I suddenly become a billionaire?"


    Jiang Siming thought dumbfoundedly, but fortunately, he was no longer the inexperienced rookie he once was¡ªno longer that small figure who could barely afford rent.


    After feeling happy for a short while, Jiang Siming quickly calmed down.


    "Not bad. There¡¯s still a small 30-million task left. Once that¡¯s completed, I¡¯ll distribute the rewards together."


    Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t reluctant to give out rewards; it was just that he had already given out bonuses after the recent break, and now, only a few days later, he had to do it again.


    He was worried that his employees might lose their motivation to work, so he decided to wait until both stock deals were settled and then issue the rewards all at once.


    His small stock trend chart had just completed a CD cycle.


    No one in the company objected to this order.


    Instead, they were even more motivated because, in this 30-billion project, they hadn¡¯t actually done much¡ªjust bought the stocks and waited.


    It was their chairman who had contributed the most. Without his leadership, this 30 billion wouldn¡¯t have been so easy to earn.

    Everyone felt embarrassed to ask for rewards and decided to continue working hard for their boss instead.


    However, after this D&G incident, many foreign companies took it as a lesson. Find your next read on


    They all behaved obediently, whether genuinely or just for appearances, and absolutely did not dare to provoke the bottom line of the Chinese people again.


    The dragon¡¯s reverse scale¡ªthose who touch it shall perish!

 Chapter 330: What About My Clothes?

    Jiang Siming paid off the debt owed by Yinghuan Tower in one go, generously handing over 3 billion.


    The building officially became another piece of real estate under his name. This massive structure, standing in the prime location of Lujiazui, Shanghai, had essentially become Jiang Siming¡¯s "pet."


    In terms of scale, Yinghuan Tower was significantly larger than Fuding Hotel, boasting a total of 39 floors and classified as a mid-sized office building.


    It had a construction area of 100,000 square meters and covered a land area of 140,000 square meters.


    The building had 36 floors above ground and 3 underground.


    Its prime location justified the steep price of 3.5 billion.


    By acquiring this property, Jiang Siming could only profit, with great potential for future appreciation.


    The old name and logo of the office building had already been removed and replaced with "Yinghuan Tower." Even several new security guards were hired.


    Inside, the construction of new elevators was in full swing and was expected to be completed soon.


    Instead of just one, two new elevators were being installed¡ªone for general employee use and another exclusively for Jiang Siming and the company¡¯s senior executives.


    Impressive, right?


    Jiang Siming also had the floors above and below his company¡¯s office space cleared out, expanding the company¡¯s presence from one floor to three.


    The additional two floors were already undergoing renovations. This wasn¡¯t just reckless spending¡ªit was a necessary move.


    The company had now advanced to the top tier in the financial sector, and its scale was bound to expand, potentially several times over.


    One floor simply wouldn¡¯t be enough for future growth; calculations by Li Yingzi and her team projected that three floors would meet the expected demand.


    Additionally, Jiang Siming acquired an extra floor, not for office use, but as an employee relaxation and entertainment area.


    It would feature a cafe?, game room, internet cafe?, dining area, library, and more¡ªall dedicated to serving his employees.


    Although it might seem extravagant, Jiang Siming had the luxury to be indulgent.


    After assigning these tasks to Li Yingzi and the company¡¯s team of managers, Jiang Siming returned to his role as the hands-off boss.


    Come on, if he had to do everything himself, what was the point of having managers and assistant managers?


    A boss was meant to sit back and collect money, wasn¡¯t he?


    "You really don¡¯t want to do even a bit of work, huh?"


    Seeing Jiang Siming trying to slip away, Li Yingzi sighed in exasperation.


    They were in Jiang Siming¡¯s chairman¡¯s office, originally discussing business.


    "Does a boss need to do work?"


    Jiang Siming countered.


    Li Yingzi had no rebuttal. That logic was... unshakable.


    "Then at least stay and chat with me for a bit, okay?" she said with a hint of grievance.


    Although she and Jiang Siming were close, their interactions always revolved around work.


    Either Jiang Siming wasn¡¯t at the company, or she was too busy to spare a moment. They rarely had personal conversations.


    Hearing this, Jiang Siming stopped mid-step and walked over to the massage chair in the lounge area, lying down.


    "I heard you bought a new car? Another Rolls-Royce? The accounting manager, Xiao Wang, said he saw it today."


    Li Yingzi also reclined on another chair, adjusting her position to match Jiang Siming¡¯s comfortable posture.


    Lying down, Li Yingzi¡¯s upper body was raised to a significant height. Jiang Siming glanced unintentionally and laughed, "You¡¯ve got quite the figure, class monitor."


    Li Yingzi blushed instantly, pretended to be angry, and smacked Jiang Siming¡¯s chair. "Xiao Mingzi, I think you¡¯re getting bolder!"


    In truth, Li Yingzi had a great figure. Though she couldn¡¯t quite compare to Jiang Siming¡¯s many girlfriends, she had a bit of fullness, giving her a curvy and plump charm.


    Her face was also no less attractive than the class beauty, Wang Xue, with rosy lips, white teeth, and delicate features.


    "You don¡¯t like compliments? Fine, I won¡¯t compliment you anymore." Jiang Siming acted wronged.


    Li Yingzi turned her head away and huffed before continuing, "Is your new car good-looking?"


    "Of course! I¡¯ll drive you home in it when I have time." Jiang Siming grinned.


    He really liked his new Rolls-Royce Wraith.


    Rolls-Royce had always been the pinnacle of luxury cars¡ªevery man had fantasized about owning one.


    There were six models in total: Phantom, Wraith, Dawn, Ghost, Spectre, and Cullinan.


    Jiang Siming¡¯s was the Wraith, which was also Principal Wang¡¯s favorite.


    It was a Rolls-Royce coupe with a price tag of over 8 million yuan.


    Moreover, Rolls-Royce cars weren¡¯t just something you could buy with money alone; they required reservations and a certain social status.


    "You¡¯re ridiculously rich! You said it yourself¡ªwhenever you have time, you have to drive me home. I want to experience what it feels like to sit in a Rolls-Royce."


    "No problem. If you¡¯re free now, I can take you downstairs and drive you home right away."


    "Forget it, I¡¯m too busy. Stocks, renovations, keeping an eye on the elevator installation¡ªI¡¯m swamped. I¡¯ve been going home every day with back pain. Every afternoon, I sneak into your office just to sit in the massage chair for a bit. Hehe."


    Hearing this, Jiang Siming felt a little guilty. He really had put too much responsibility on her.


    But there wasn¡¯t much he could do¡ªhe only trusted Li Yingzi for now. The company was still new, and he wasn¡¯t familiar with the others, so he didn¡¯t dare delegate too much authority.


    Everything was decided by Jiang Siming, passed to Li Yingzi, and then assigned to the other managers.


    It was undoubtedly exhausting.


    Jiang Siming took out a pill from his pocket¡ªDetox and Beauty Pill¡ªand handed it to Li Yingzi.


    "What¡¯s this?" she asked curiously.


    "Don¡¯t ask. Just take it before you shower at home tonight, and you¡¯ll see. Remember, take it before showering, or you¡¯ll regret it." Jiang Siming warned.


    Thinking he was teasing her, Li Yingzi playfully said, "Why do I have to take it at home? I¡¯ll just take it now!"


    With that, she popped the pill into her mouth.


    Enjoy new tales from


    Jiang Siming laughed at her sudden move. "Alright then, just wait and see."


    "Wait for what? Who are you trying to scare, Xiao Mingzi?" Li Yingzi didn¡¯t believe him at all.


    But just as she finished speaking, she started to feel warm. Her arms began oozing a black, sticky substance.


    "Ahhh!" Li Yingzi jumped up from the massage chair.


    "What is this?!" She looked shocked, on the verge of tears.


    It wasn¡¯t just her arms¡ªeven her face was covered in it. She quickly covered her face, afraid Jiang Siming would see her in such an ugly state.


    "Don¡¯t worry, these are just toxins hidden in your body. Getting rid of them is only beneficial to you," Jiang Siming said casually.


    He had already told her to take it at home, but this silly class monitor just had to be stubborn. Now, she couldn¡¯t blame him.


    "What do I do now? I can¡¯t go out looking like this..."


    "There¡¯s a shower in my office. What are you worried about? Just go clean up." Jiang Siming said.


    Only then did Li Yingzi remember¡ªJiang Siming¡¯s office didn¡¯t just have a shower, it even had a bedroom.


    Realizing this, she bolted toward the back room, unwilling to stay another second.


    .bg-container-10448ed3ed0{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; } .bg-ssp-10448{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;} .bg-container-10448f61e68{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; }


    But then, Jiang Siming suddenly thought¡ªthere was a shower, sure, but what about her clothes???


    "Xiao Mingzi, what about my clothes?"


    From inside the bathroom, Li Yingzi asked the exact same question.


    Well, now they were both dumbfounded.

 Chapter 331: You Stinky Mingzi!

    The clothes were all dirty, including Li Yingzi¡¯s... ahem, you get it.


    Everything was messed up, making it obviously impossible to wear again.


    Jiang Siming had no choice but to call Qi Muqing in.


    "Chairman, what happened?"


    "President Li¡¯s clothes got dirty. Drive to her house and bring her a set of clothes, including the ones underneath."


    Only Qi Muqing could help with this.


    Your next read awaits at


    "Understood, Chairman."


    Qi Muqing found it a bit strange¡ªhow did President Li get her clothes dirty in the office? What were they doing?


    Though curious, she wisely chose not to ask.


    "Remember, don¡¯t let anyone else in the company know."


    Jiang Siming was afraid of misunderstandings among employees, but saying it like that only made it seem more suspicious.


    "I understand, Chairman."


    Taking Li Yingzi¡¯s house key, Qi Muqing left with her sister.


    To prevent her younger sister from talking too much, she didn¡¯t even explain the real reason¡ªjust said they were picking up some documents from President Li¡¯s house.


    Jiang Siming sighed and lay back on his massage chair.


    This woman was really reckless¡ªhe told her to take it at home, but she just had to mess around. Was it fun?


    Qi Muqing wouldn¡¯t be back for a while, and Li Yingzi couldn¡¯t just stay in the bathroom forever.


    Luckily, Jiang Siming had two casual outfits in his bedroom.


    Li Yingzi put them on for now, then walked out hesitantly.


    The moment she reappeared, Jiang Siming¡¯s eyelid twitched.


    After taking the detox beauty pill and a shower, Li Yingzi¡¯s skin was now soft and radiant. With her makeup washed off, she revealed an exquisite, delicate face typical of southern girls.


    Her long, wet hair draped over her shoulders.


    She was wrapped in a white dress shirt.


    The height of the bulge at the front was even more pronounced than before.


    The effects of the detox beauty pill were truly remarkable.


    "Xiao Mingzi, how did you do this? What exactly is that thing? Why did my body change so much after taking it?"


    Li Yingzi had already noticed her transformation in the bathroom and had been stunned for quite a while before coming out.


    "Don¡¯t ask. Just don¡¯t ask. It¡¯s a good thing, and that¡¯s all that matters."


    Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t be bothered to explain. A bold life needs no explanation.


    "But can you move your eyes away a little? Do you have to stare?"


    Li Yingzi blushed, her gaze ¡¯sharp.¡¯


    "My eyes are on my body, what can you do about it? Besides, this is my office, and you¡¯re wearing my clothes. What¡¯s wrong with letting me look for a bit?"


    Jiang Siming shamelessly replied.


    Despite her embarrassment, Li Yingzi secretly felt a little pleased. What woman wouldn¡¯t want the man she liked to admire her?


    "Whatever, I can¡¯t be bothered with you."


    She forced herself to stay calm and hunched over as she slowly made her way to the massage chair.


    She had to hunch over because if she walked too fast, the hem of the shirt would lift, revealing too much.


    "Are you reenacting a spy sneaking into a village?" Jiang Siming teased with amusement.


    "You¡¯re the spy! You stinky Mingzi!" Li Yingzi retorted in frustration.


    Finally reaching the massage chair, she looked at Jiang Siming¡¯s smug grin and felt a surge of irritation.


    She immediately lifted her foot to kick Jiang Siming¡¯s chair, but unexpectedly, her foot slipped, and she fell forward.


    Thud~


    Li Yingzi fell straight into Jiang Siming¡¯s arms.


    The two ended up pressed together, and for a moment, the office was filled with an awkward silence.


    The pleasant fragrance of Li Yingzi, mixed with the scent of shower gel, made Jiang Siming¡¯s mind waver.


    His internal cultivation technique began operating on its own, surging within him.


    "Xiao... Xiao Mingzi... Help me up quickly..."


    Li Yingzi was weak and powerless, her face flushed red.


    It was her first time being so close to a man, feeling Jiang Siming¡¯s broad, warm embrace and his incredibly attractive physique.


    Her heart rate had probably shot up to 180 beats per minute.


    Instead of listening, Jiang Siming¡¯s hands began to move.


    "Xiao Mingzi, you... mmph..."


    Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Siming had already sealed her lips with his own.


    Her first kiss~ My first kiss~


    ...


    In the end, Jiang Siming carried her to the bathroom for another round of bathing.


    "Stupid Mingzi! Bad Mingzi! You ruined my innocence!"


    Li Yingzi clenched her teeth in frustration, pounding his chest with tiny fists, but the strength was no different from a gentle massage.


    "If you keep acting up, I¡¯ll carry you to the bedroom and go again." Jiang Siming threatened.


    "Scared of you? Do you even dare? Aren¡¯t you afraid your secretary will come back and see?"


    Li Yingzi wasn¡¯t a naive little girl¡ªshe was smart.


    Jiang Siming actually didn¡¯t dare. He still had to maintain his image as chairman, after all.


    Moreover, if word got out, it would be awkward for Li Yingzi in the company.


    "You¡¯re already like this, so why not just take the day off? I¡¯ll send you home to rest."


    Jiang Siming pretended to be considerate, but in reality, he had impure thoughts.


    "No way, I¡¯ll just sleep in your room for a bit. There¡¯s too much work at the company. I¡¯m not like you, a hands-off boss. And don¡¯t try to ¡¯corrupt¡¯ me¡ªif I become lazy too, let¡¯s see what you do then."


    Li Yingzi shook her head in refusal. She just wanted to focus on helping Jiang Siming manage the company.


    Jiang Siming could only nod helplessly and say, "Fine then, I¡¯ll pick you up after work tonight, okay?"


    "Now that sounds better."


    Hearing that, Li Yingzi beamed and snuggled into Jiang Siming¡¯s arms, smiling happily.


    "Xiao Mingzi, am I fat? I should start losing weight tomorrow."


    Li Yingzi felt she had a bit too much fat. Looking at photos of Jiang Siming¡¯s girlfriend, Wang Xinyi¡ªso slim and beautiful¡ªshe felt self-conscious.


    Before, she thought she had no chance with Jiang Siming, so she didn¡¯t care about her figure. She was fine with being a little chubby.


    But now, she realized that body shape mattered a lot.


    "Who said you¡¯re fat? Where are you fat, my god?"


    Jiang Siming was speechless. Gaining just a little weight was considered fat? What were women thinking these days?


    Li Yingzi wasn¡¯t fat at all.


    "You¡¯re not allowed to lose weight¡ªI like you just the way you are."


    Hearing that, Li Yingzi was so embarrassed that she pinched Jiang Siming¡¯s waist in protest.


    Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t react at all. Instead, he counterattacked, and she was instantly defeated.

 Chapter 332: MVP Skin Released!

    Not long after, Qi Muqing returned and knocked on the office door.


    Li Yingzi quickly ran back to the bedroom.


    Jiang Siming went to open the door.


    "No one noticed, right?" Jiang Siming asked.


    Qi Muqing shook her head and said, "No, not even my sister knows."


    "That¡¯s good. Go ahead and get back to work."


    Jiang Siming took the bag from Qi Muqing¡¯s hand and closed the door.


    Qi Muqing covered her mouth and laughed secretly.


    The chairman looking all sneaky like this was so cute~


    Li Yingzi, now back in her own clothes, felt much more at ease. Wearing Jiang Siming¡¯s shirt earlier had made her feel completely exposed in front of him.


    "Alright, you can go now. I¡¯ll just rest in my office for a bit," Li Yingzi said.


    Although her steps were still a little unsteady, Jiang Siming¡¯s Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation technique had relieved her discomfort significantly. Instead of pain, she felt completely refreshed, and after taking a couple of steps, she adapted.


    "You¡¯re really okay?"


    "I¡¯m really fine. Go play or do whatever you want," Li Yingzi urged with a laugh.


    Jiang Siming, now reassured, left the room.


    "Oh, by the way, Dragon Boat Festival is coming up soon. Are you going home?" Jiang Siming suddenly remembered the holiday was just a few days away.


    "No, I¡¯ll go back during Mid-Autumn Festival instead," Li Yingzi replied.


    "That works out well. I¡¯m not going back either. I¡¯ll pick you up for the festival so we can eat zongzi at my place."


    "No way, no way!" Li Yingzi¡¯s eyes flashed with alarm as she quickly refused.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even need to guess what she was thinking. He immediately started persuading her and explaining things, and after a while, Li Yingzi finally agreed.


    "After the festival, start getting ready to move to my place. No more complaining¡ªthis is final. I¡¯m leaving!"


    With that, Jiang Siming walked off, leaving Li Yingzi unsure whether to laugh or feel embarrassed.


    Good things always lift the spirit, and Jiang Siming, in high spirits, whistled as he headed down to the underground parking lot.


    A group of employees from other companies were gathered around his Rolls-Royce Wraith, taking pictures. Continue your journey with


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t mind as long as they didn¡¯t touch it.


    Not that they would dare touch it¡ªone scratch, and they¡¯d probably be paying for years.


    The deep blue Wraith sat there, its Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament gleaming under the lights.


    That single Spirit of Ecstasy alone cost 300,000 yuan.


    As Jiang Siming walked over, the crowd quickly stepped back.


    "Hello, President Jiang."


    "President Jiang!"


    "President Jiang is so handsome!"


    ...


    By now, almost everyone in Yinghuan Tower recognized Jiang Siming.


    It was inevitable. With company benefits this good and the entire building recently bought out, it was hard for them not to know who he was.


    "Hello, everyone," Jiang Siming greeted them warmly before opening the Rolls-Royce¡¯s door.


    Rolls-Royce doors were quite unique¡ªnot butterfly doors, scissor doors, or gull-wing doors, but reverse-opening doors.


    This was a classic design inherited from horse-drawn carriages.


    Plus, the doors were electric, so there was no need to worry about closing them¡ªjust a light press with a finger was enough.


    Another interesting feature of the Rolls-Royce is its double R emblem on the wheels, which always stays upright no matter how fast you drive.


    As he sat in the car, the ceiling lit up with twinkling stars, resembling a real night sky spinning overhead, creating an extremely romantic atmosphere.


    The starlight ceiling is also unique to Rolls-Royce, but it is an optional feature, meaning not all Rolls-Royces have it.


    The car door also houses a Rolls-Royce-exclusive retractable umbrella, which costs over 80,000 yuan¡ªdesigned for the wealthy.


    With a gentle start of the engine, Jiang Siming left the underground parking lot, leaving behind a crowd filled with envy.


    When he arrived home, it was just noon, and the two women in the house were making zongzi.


    The Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and Wang Xinyi and Yin Zhirou both had four days off. Neither of them chose to return home, opting to celebrate in Shanghai instead.


    On the festival day, Zhao Xuan would also come over, as Jiang Siming had already arranged with them.


    Even Tuan Tuan and Dai Dai had gone home, or else they could have gathered enough people at Jiang Siming¡¯s house for two full tables of card games.


    "Senior, do you want meat zongzi or red date zongzi? We also have eight-treasure zongzi!"


    Wang Xinyi was washing reed leaves and asked Jiang Siming with a smile.


    "I like eating this little meat zongzi of mine." Jiang Siming replied mischievously.


    Wang Xinyi blushed and rolled her eyes at him.


    After lunch, Jiang Siming returned to his study and, as usual, started a livestream, planning to find two more fragments in the game today.


    When he logged into STEAM, he found that the game needed an update. The update package was small, only 500MB, and finished downloading quickly.


    Just as he was wondering what had been updated, his livestream chat exploded with excited messages.


    "Ming God, your MVP skin is out!"


    "MVP skin, super cool!"


    "Haha, I already bought a set, it¡¯s insanely awesome!"


    "Even better than the champion team skins."


    "There¡¯s even a unique emote!"


    "I can¡¯t afford it yet, but after my college entrance exam, when my parents give me some fun money, I¡¯ll definitely buy it (smirk)."


    Jiang Siming was thrilled¡ªwas it real?


    He quickly logged into the game to check.


    As soon as he entered the game interface, he saw the official promotion.


    **[FGS World Champion MVP Player Ming¡¯s Exclusive Skin is Now Available in the Store for a Limited-Time Purchase!]**


    "Damn, they actually made it, and they didn¡¯t even tell me?"


    Muttering to himself, he checked his private messages, only to realize they had informed him long ago¡ªhe just hadn¡¯t seen it.


    Well, no need to dwell on the details, better to check the store first!


    As soon as he entered, his MVP skin was already shining on display.


    The first thing was a full set of clothing.


    The outfit included a flame-patterned battle robe, with red flame-like designs paired with a tight-fitting rhino leather top.


    On the chest of the outfit was the **[4AM]** team logo, though it occupied only a small space.


    The most eye-catching part was the back of the battle robe, where two large Chinese characters **[Ming God]** were embroidered.


    The black background with golden text, written in traditional Chinese calligraphy, had an elegant yet domineering style¡ªit was clear that the developers had put in great effort.


    The pants were not tight-fitting, but they weren¡¯t loose either, making them look stylish and comfortable.


    For footwear, he wore a pair of fiery red battle boots, each boot imprinted with the character **[Ming]**, one on each side.


    Moreover, this outfit suited both male and female characters perfectly, looking flawless on anyone who wore it.


    Whoever wore it looked cool!


    Jiang Siming had never seen such a stylish personal skin before, even the championship team skins were just hoodies.


    His, on the other hand, was a full-fledged battle robe¡ªabsolutely stunning!


    In addition to the outfit, the store also featured an avatar modeled after Jiang Siming¡¯s hairstyle and facial features, designed in a cartoon version of him that looked incredibly similar.


    This avatar had a high price and was sold separately for **$13**, and only players with over **3000 ranking points** could buy it.


    The official explanation was: **"Noobs don¡¯t deserve this avatar!"**


    Now, tell me, isn¡¯t that badass?

 Chapter 333: Hot Sales

    Apart from this, the main highlight is the guns.


    The team champion skin also has an AK, which features a shimmering effect.


    Compared to that, Jiang Siming¡¯s AK does not have a dazzling glow, but the entire gun is crimson red with a few neon patterns imprinted on the body.


    The gunstock is also engraved with the character "Ming." Overall, this AK may not look as cool as the champion AK.


    However, its understated luxury has won the love of countless players.


    Finally, there is the 98K. As soon as this 98K skin appeared, many players couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of excitement.


    A strong desire to purchase it overwhelmed them, making even those without money want to borrow just to buy it.


    Like the AK, this 98K is primarily crimson red, with bright red patterns, and its barrel and scope area are strikingly silver-white.


    On the left side of the gun, the Chinese character logo "Ming" and the "4AM" team emblem are imprinted.


    The overall gun body is dark, giving it a stealthy sniper-assassin vibe.


    However, the accents are in crimson red and silver-white, as if representing Jiang Siming¡¯s bloody, eye-catching playstyle!


    The most thrilling detail is on the right side of the gun, where a phrase is engraved¡ªfive Chinese characters.


    Anyone who has seen Jiang Siming¡¯s most famous gaming video will instantly recognize these five characters.


    That video was from before Jiang Siming competed in tournaments, during a livestream where he encountered an annoying American streamer.


    The opponent had an entire squad hunting down Jiang Siming.


    At that time, Jiang Siming used only a DP-28 and wiped them out completely from a rooftop.


    Back then, Jiang Siming said one legendary sentence: "Bow down to me!"


    This line has been etched in the memories of many players, a display of emperor-like dominance and kingly presence that is still widely discussed today.


    And now, this very sentenceBow down to me!is engraved on the right side of the gun, complete with the exclamation mark, perfectly recreating Jiang Siming¡¯s iconic moment.


    Just one look at this 98K, and it exudes an aura of cold-bloodedness, darkness, and a determined killer instinct, capable of landing precise shots from any distance!


    When players see this gun, they can almost picture Jiang Siming controlling it¡ª


    Pulling the trigger, never missing a shot, every bullet sealing the fate of his enemies!


    No wonder so many viewers are flooding in with rave reviews¡ªhis MVP skin is just that incredible.


    In addition, there is an exclusive celebratory action. The animation features a clenched fist raised toward the sky, holding a massive FGS championship trophy.


    Jiang Siming lifts it high with one hand, looking absolutely dominant.


    This action is free¡ªit only costs 20,000 in-game currency to purchase.


    The clothing and gun skins are sold as a bundle, priced the same as the champion skin¡ªonly 99 yuan.


    That is an insanely good deal.


    However, Jiang Siming¡¯s avatar model is sold separately for $13, and it is only available for players with a ranking of 3,000 points or above.


    Overall, Jiang Siming¡¯s MVP skin has countless fans!


    Since its update at midnight, the total sales in the China region alone have already surpassed 2 million sets!


    Most astonishingly, over 1.5 million sets have also been sold in international regions.


    You should know that the 4AM championship skin only sold a little over one million units overseas.


    At that time, the total sales domestically and internationally were less than four million units.


    But for Jiang Siming¡¯s skin, in just one morning, the total sales in both domestic and international markets had already reached 3.5 million units.


    What kind of insane speed is this?


    It¡¯s not just because Jiang Siming¡¯s skin looks cooler than the team skins, but more so because of his personal fame.


    Domestic players still have a deep love for 4AM.


    But overseas, it¡¯s different. They don¡¯t care about GodV or Ximi, they only recognize one person¡ªMing God.


    In the eyes of many foreigners, this championship was entirely won by Jiang Siming alone.


    Jiang Siming conquered them with his skills, not 4AM as a team.


    This is why his skin is selling like crazy overseas.


    The revenue from these sales, aside from the share split with the official developers, does not require Jiang Siming to give a single cent to the club.


    It is estimated that this skin will sell at least 8 million units, and even after splitting with Bluehole, he will still make tens of millions.


    Although Jiang Siming no longer cares about this kind of money, GodV and the others do¡ªthey¡¯re dying of jealousy.


    So as soon as Jiang Siming started his livestream, they rushed into his YY chatroom to make a fuss.

    "Old Jiang, you have to treat us! You¡¯re covering the cost of this year¡¯s gathering!"


    "Fine, fine, I¡¯ll cover it. No problem."


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t care at all¡ªwould he be short on that little bit of money?


    With a net worth of over 10 billion, raising a pig like GodV is easy!


    "Jiang Bro, your skin is way too cool, much better than our team skins," Ximi said.


    "Hehe, right? I think so too, which is why I¡¯m planning to give away 50,000 units in my livestream as a fan reward."


    Pfft!


    Fifty... fifty thousand units?


    How much would that cost?


    Almost 5 million RMB?


    And he just decided on a whim! Jiang Siming directly shouted in his livestream, "Supermods, get to work! Help me draw 50,000 winners for the skin giveaway."


    Everyone: "...."


    This was the first time anyone had seen a streamer order supermods around like subordinates.


    Other streamers have to treat supermods like their dads, but Jiang Siming treats them like his sons.


    The key point is that none of Jiang Siming¡¯s supermods dared to complain¡ªthey obediently went to work.


    At this point, Jiang Siming had gotten used to being a company chairman, and everything he said carried a strong CEO aura, making people instinctively obey.


    With the giveaway handled by the supermods, Jiang Siming didn¡¯t bother with it anymore and bought a set of skins for himself.


    Just as he was about to enter the game to try them out, he noticed that the official developers had sent him a mysterious gift box.


    No one had ever seen this box before, and even GodV and the others, watching the livestream, were confused.


    "What is this?"


    "Probably a gift from the developers?"


    "A new loot box? I haven¡¯t seen this in the store before."


    They were all puzzled, and the audience was equally curious.


    Jiang Siming didn¡¯t overthink it¡ªhe simply clicked to open it.


    As the gift box opened, a line of Chinese subtitles floated onto the screen.


    "Congratulations to Ming God for winning the world championship and MVP. This is a belated congratulatory gift along with your skins. We hope Ming God doesn¡¯t mind. In recognition of your outstanding contributions to PUBG, we are gifting you 500 Level 2 Skull Helmets, along with 500 CDKs, which have been sent to your email. Ming God may distribute them as he pleases."


    ¡ª[Message from Bluehole Official Team]


    Holy crap!!!


    GodV and the others let out a collective wail of envy and jealousy.


    What kind of insane treatment is this?


    They were all champions too, so why was there such a huge difference in treatment? They were not happy!!!


    But when they thought about Jiang Siming¡¯s skill level, they had nothing to say.


    "There¡¯s even this perk? Not bad, not bad."


    Jiang Siming laughed heartily¡ªtoday was truly a great day.


    Curious about what the Level 2 helmet skin looked like, Jiang Siming quickly logged into his email, took out a CDK, and redeemed it in his account.


    A brand-new item instantly appeared in his personal inventory.


    At first, Jiang Siming thought it would be just another regular Level 2 helmet skin.


    After all, there were plenty of Level 2 helmets in the game, and it didn¡¯t seem particularly rare.


    But the moment he equipped it, he instantly fell in love!

 Chapter 334: Five Hundred Skull Helmets

    Unlike ordinary ugly helmet skins, this one is a mask that covers the entire head.


    Once worn, the face is wrapped in a golden skull, and the back of the head is also covered in golden skeletal bones.


    It looks both cold and evil; in simple terms¡ªit¡¯s insanely cool!


    Wow!


    All the viewers were instantly captivated by this skin.


    "Holy shit! This is the best-looking helmet skin I¡¯ve ever seen!"


    "There are only 500 of them, and all of them are in Ming Shen¡¯s hands!"


    "Oh my god, I really want one!"


    "I¡¯ll pay 500 for one, is that okay?"


    "Are you dreaming? I¡¯d pay 5000, unlimited purchase!"


    "This helmet is absolutely going to explode in popularity."


    "Ming God, please sell me one~~~ I¡¯ll even offer my ass to you!"


    ...


    Ordinary viewers loved it, and the rich viewers were scrambling for it just as much.


    Duke [Soft Cat in Hands]: "I really love this helmet! Please give me one!"


    King [Jie Yuan]: "Can I buy one for 8000?"


    Emperor [Jiang Moye]: "Ming God, can you give me a CDK? I¡¯ll pay 10,000!"


    Emperor [ ]: "I¡¯ll buy one for 15,000!"


    Emperor [Adventurous Dream]: "Ming God, can you sell me ten? I¡¯ll pay 20,000 for each."


    In just a short time, the price had been pushed up to 20,000.


    With only 500 globally, it¡¯s easy to imagine how expensive this helmet would become.


    Bluehole just gave Jiang Siming a special and generous gift¡ªit feels like he¡¯s practically their favored son now.


    More pampered than Riot Games¡¯ Explorer Ezreal.


    Emperor [Traveling Frog Brother]: "Damn, this helmet is sick! Ming God, with our relationship, if you don¡¯t give me at least a hundred, I¡¯ll be pissed. I¡¯ll pay 50,000 each, is that good enough?"


    Damn!


    The other rich players all rolled their eyes¡ªPrincipal Wang was clearly inflating the price, pushing it up to 50,000 in one go. Who could afford that?


    "Talking about money hurts friendships, I¡¯ll give you five for free. I don¡¯t even have enough for myself." Jiang Siming didn¡¯t even ask for money, generously gifting five to Principal Wang.


    "Haha, you¡¯re a real one. But I can¡¯t take them for free."


    After saying that, Principal Wang sent Jiang Siming a 200,000 gift.


    Jiang Siming also gave Wei Shen and his team five each, making them so happy they kept shouting, "Jiang Ge is amazing!"


    Not only that, but Jiang Siming also sent ten each to Tuan Tuan and Dai Dai.


    "Damn, Lao Jiang, you¡¯re playing favorites! You give the girls ten each but only give us five?" Wei Shen complained.


    Jiang Siming casually replied, "If you don¡¯t want them, you can give them back."


    "Forget it, five is enough for me," Wei Shen said.


    Each of these was worth tens of thousands, meaning Jiang Siming had just casually given away over a million.


    The viewers didn¡¯t know exactly how rich Jiang Siming was, but judging from his mansion and luxury cars, they could tell that streaming was far from his only source of income.


    "Wow, this outfit with this helmet looks insanely cool."


    Wei Shen, having received the helmet, immediately equipped it, as did Xingmu and the others.


    With Jiang Siming¡¯s full skin set combined with the golden skull helmet, no one could argue that he was the flashiest player in the game.


    Jiang Siming himself was also very satisfied with this look and even sent an email to Bluehole expressing his gratitude.


    Surprisingly, they responded instantly. After some pleasantries, they went on to describe how well his MVP skin was selling domestically and internationally.


    Discover stories at


    They even brought up the ranking system.


    A few days ago, during a stream, Jiang Siming had mentioned that he didn¡¯t like the points-based system, which led many enthusiastic viewers to tag Bluehole¡¯s official account.


    He thought Bluehole would ignore it, but they actually took it very seriously.


    In the email, they informed Jiang Siming that they had already started working on a new ranking system, and it would be implemented soon.


    Not only that, but their plans were even more detailed and professional than what Jiang Siming had suggested.


    Hearing this, Jiang Siming had nothing more to say¡ªhe just sent them another heartfelt Chinese-style thank you, along with a virtual kiss.


    Closing the email, Jiang Siming couldn¡¯t wait to jump into the game.


    However, he didn¡¯t play on his main account¡ªits ranking was too high, making games uninteresting, and it was difficult to match with well-known players.


    Here, "well-known" didn¡¯t mean professional gamers or famous streamers, but other celebrities.


    Jiang Siming wanted to test whether playing on a lower-ranked account would allow him to match with more golden silhouettes.


    Who should he ask for an account? Whose rank was the lowest...? No need to think¡ªTuan Tuan!


    A "super" player with a KDA of 0.5.


    Without hesitation, he borrowed the account.


    Tuan Tuan, who was live streaming at the time, suddenly received a call from Jiang Siming asking for her account.


    She didn¡¯t dare ask why or refuse and obediently handed over her account, switching to a friend¡¯s account instead.


    She wouldn¡¯t dare use Jiang Siming¡¯s account¡ªtaking a 0.5 KDA into a 6000-point lobby would be like doing a butterfly stroke in a cesspool, searching for sh*t in the sh*t.


    The funny thing was that when she asked her friend for an account, her friend was reluctant, afraid their KDA would drop too.


    Tuan Tuan was so annoyed that she swore to get some kills today and become a "heartless executioner."


    After getting the account, Jiang Siming logged into the game.


    Of course, Tuan Tuan had also bought Jiang Siming¡¯s MVP skin, wearing it along with the skull mask¡ªperfect!


    Game start!


    As soon as he entered the lobby, Jiang Siming realized he was no longer the most stylish player.


    Damn it, the place was filled with his MVP skins, his battle robes, and boots...


    And because he was matchmaking in the highest rank bracket, everyone was qualified to buy his cartoon avatar model.


    As a result, a whole bunch of "Jiang Siming" characters gathered in the lobby, holding trophies and doing poses.


    Jiang Siming felt so embarrassed.


    "Let¡¯s avoid these people and find a little corner to admire ourselves in peace."


    The audience laughed.


    "Don¡¯t worry, Ming God, you still have the skull mask¡ªthey don¡¯t."


    "Can¡¯t help it, Ming God¡¯s skins are just that popular."


    "Everyone¡¯s in MVP outfits, even more than when the championship skins were sold!"


    "This outfit is indeed cool, and the price is very reasonable, so it¡¯s no surprise so many people bought it."


    "I want the skull mask..."


    ...


    Boarding the plane, Jiang Siming spotted a dazzling golden silhouette in the cabin!


    In the lobby, he hadn¡¯t noticed, too busy looking at skins.


    ¡¾Famous Actor ¡¤ Hu Ge¡¿


    Whoa!


    Such good luck!


    It¡¯s true¡ªlower ranks make it easier to match with well-known players from other fields!


    Jiang Siming really liked this actor¡ªone of the few celebrities he genuinely admired.


    Should he kill him or not...?


    Killing him felt cruel, but it was also a rare chance to meet a golden silhouette player.


    He was torn.


    Wait¡ªwhy was there another golden silhouette?!


    Another one appeared on the plane.


    ¡¾Famous Black Star ¡¤ Cai Xukun¡¿


    What the hell is a "Black Star"?


    As Jiang Siming was wondering, Cai Xukun had already jumped.


    Without hesitation, Jiang Siming followed him down, temporarily sparing Hu Ge.


    First, he would take down this pretty boy.

 Chapter 335: Cai Guangkun?

    Cai Xukun naturally wouldn''t land in a hot zone; he chose a remote spot on the mountain outside L Port.


    This remote spot was quite rich in loot, with two housing areas¡ªan upper and a lower one¡ªto search.


    Jiang Siming didn''t want to scare him off, so he landed at the same time as him.


    As soon as he landed, Jiang Siming used his loot sense to scan the area.


    The upper housing area was stacked with loot¡ªsuppressed M24, M416, and even an 8x scope.


    The lower housing area was much poorer¡ªjust a UMP and a crossbow, but plenty of throwables.


    Without hesitation, Jiang Siming went for the lower housing area.


    After all, the good loot would be his soon enough¡ªwhy rush?


    It was just a bot lobby¡ªwas he supposed to be afraid of getting killed? As if this sissy could even pull the trigger. Jiang Siming didn''t buy it.


    As Jiang Siming moved to the lower housing area, Cai Xukun naturally ran toward the upper one.


    The moment he entered a house, he found an M24, making him laugh out loud in excitement.


    After looting the rest of the area, he had a god-tier loadout for a remote drop.


    Cai Xukun had never been this lucky before. For someone who rarely got a suppressed sniper rifle, this was a dream come true.


    Just like every beginner, when they find a Kar98k, they feel like they''ve struck gold¡ªtheir first thought isn''t to fight but to run.


    That was exactly Cai Xukun''s mindset at this moment.


    Holding his 8x suppressed sniper, he was thrilled but aware that there was an enemy in the lower housing area.


    After looting the last house, he planned to sneak away.


    But the moment he opened the door, an arrow struck his chest.


    -80


    Did Jiang Siming''s shot miss? It didn''t hit the head!


    Impossible.


    Cai Xukun, hit in the chest, saw his blood spraying like a fountain, scaring him out of his wits.


    The worst part was that he had no idea what hit him or where it came from¡ªhis health just vanished in an instant.


    "What the f***, is this a hacker?!"


    Cai Xukun quickly slammed the door shut and crouched in a corner to heal, terrified that the enemy would rush him.


    But his opponent seemed just as scared¡ªthere were no footsteps at all, indicating no rush.


    With his health restored, Cai Xukun regained some confidence, but he decided to stay inside and wait.


    *Click!*


    The sound of a pin being pulled rang outside.


    A small, long cylindrical object flew through the first-floor window.


    Cai Xukun thought it was a grenade and immediately tried to run upstairs.


    But just as he turned, the throwable went off¡ª*ding~~~*


    Not a grenade, but a flashbang.


    Cai Xukun''s vision turned completely white, and his ears went deaf.


    The enemy was pushing!


    At this thought, Cai Xukun''s already heavily powdered face turned even paler¡ªpale enough for a horror movie role.


    But the expected rush didn''t come.


    Even after the flashbang wore off, Cai Xukun was still fine.


    Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, another object was thrown inside.


    A burning Molotov cocktail.


    The bottle shattered on the floor beneath Cai Xukun''s feet, instantly setting the ground ablaze.


    His crotch felt scorching hot as his health rapidly ticked down.


    "F***!!!"


    Cai Xukun cursed as he scrambled upstairs, losing more than half his health to the flames.


    After fully healing again, he laughed¡ªhis opponent was just a coward, only daring to use such tricks.


    "I don''t believe you have more throwables. Out of options now, huh? Heh."


    Just as he finished speaking, another Molotov flew through the second-floor window, hit the doorframe, and landed right on him.


    "Holy s***!"


    He quickly backed away from the door, retreating into a bedroom to heal again.


    But now, his meds were nearly gone.


    Cai Xukun started to panic¡ªif this continued, he''d get burned alive inside.


    Just as he was thinking, another object flew into the house.


    Cai Xukun thought it was another Molotov cocktail. Seeing it land near the door, he wasn''t worried at all since it wouldn''t burn him.


    Boom!


    A loud explosion stunned Cai Xukun.


    This time, it wasn''t a Molotov cocktail but a grenade.


    Although it was a bit far, he was still caught in the blast and lost a large chunk of his health, nearly emptying his HP bar.


    "You mother¡ªdon''t let me meet you in real life!"


    Cai Xukun cursed furiously, but he had no choice and had to continue healing.


    After using up the last of his meds, his health only recovered to two-thirds.


    Cai Xukun was sweating nervously, afraid the enemy would throw something else to finish him off, so he turned on the all-chat microphone and shouted:


    "Brother, brother, can you not kill me?"


    Jiang Siming''s mic was also on, though he had originally turned it on for Hu Ge.


    However, no one except Jiang Siming knew who this duck-like voice belonged to.


    "I won''t kill you, but you have to drop all your gear, strip down to your underwear, and walk out." Jiang Siming spoke calmly.


    "Brother, you must be joking. We are both from China, we should be helping each other. If you do this to me, you''re not a true Chinese!"


    As soon as Cai Xukun said this, the viewers who had been somewhat sympathetic toward him immediately got angry.


    "Is this guy brain-dead?"


    "Confirmed, another idiot using patriotism as a shield."


    "Dragging nationality into a game? If I were playing, I''d rush in and ** him!"


    "This voice is so damn annoying, sounds like a woman."


    "Ming God, don''t hold back, beat him up!"


    ...


    Even without the audience saying anything, Jiang Siming had already made up his mind.


    Another grenade was thrown into the house, deliberately placed at a moderate distance from Cai Xukun.


    It was close enough to damage him, but not enough to kill him outright.


    -52


    His HP dropped to near zero again, and Cai Xukun screamed.


    "Brother, brother, let''s talk this out! Actually, I''m a celebrity, you definitely know me!"


    "Oh? What kind of celebrity? Tell me." Jiang Siming asked casually.


    "Actually, I''m Cai Xukun! How about this, if you let me go, I''ll add you as a friend after I get out, okay?"


    Cai Xukun confidently revealed his name, thinking that any regular player would be ecstatic upon meeting a big-time celebrity like him and start begging for an autograph or a photo like a desperate fan.


    However, Jiang Siming showed neither excitement nor anger. Instead, he asked with a blank expression:


    "You say you''re Cai Guangkun, so you''re Cai Guangkun? How do you prove it?"


    "Brother, it''s Cai Xukun, not Cai Guangkun!" Cai Xukun held back his frustration.


    If it weren''t for his rare silenced 8x M24, he wouldn''t be humiliating himself like this.


    "Oh, then how do you prove it?" Jiang Siming remained indifferent.


    "Brother, my voice is so recognizable, and you still can''t tell?"


    "I can''t tell. If you don''t prove it, I''ll throw another grenade." As he spoke, Jiang Siming pulled the pin on a grenade.


    Just hearing the sound of the grenade being pulled made Cai Xukun immediately panic.


    "I''ll prove it, I''ll prove it! I can sing! Listen¡ª


    Chicken, you are too... beautiful~~ ah ah ah~~ chicken, you are too beautiful~~ ah ah ah~~"


    "Not just that, I can rap too! Yo yo, look at this bowl of¡ª"


    Boom!


    Before Cai Xukun could finish his performance, a grenade flew into his house and exploded.


    "You f***ing¡ª! You £¤T$@#%^$##$...."

 Chapter 336: Sissy Pill?

    Cai Xukun could no longer hold back his anger and ended up as a corpse, furiously cursing at Jiang Siming.


    He finally understood¡ªthis guy had been toying with him from start to finish!


    "If your mouth is full of shit, just keep it shut. It stinks."


    Jiang Siming didn''t care at all. He enjoyed watching the other party fume with rage and lose control.


    "Pathetic losers like you can only find a sense of existence in games. In reality, you''re just trash. If this were real life, I could crush garbage like you!"


    Cai Xukun was still fuming. He had always been arrogant, adored by the media, and couldn''t tolerate such humiliation.


    "What do you mean by trash?" Jiang Siming ''innocently'' asked.


    "I mean trash like you¡ªpeople who can''t even afford a car or a house. A bunch of broke nobodies, worthless scum of society!"


    "What do you mean by that? So what if someone is poor? Do poor people not deserve dignity?" Jiang Siming ''angrily'' retorted.


    Cai Xukun vaguely sensed that he was being baited and knew he shouldn''t continue cursing.


    But then he reminded himself that this was just an online game, and the other guy was just a regular player.


    Why should he hold back? He might as well curse to his heart''s content!


    "Do poor people deserve dignity? I make more from a single advertisement than you would in ten lifetimes! The money I earn from a single event could buy a villa! Poor people talking to me about dignity? You''re not even worthy of shining my shoes!"


    After saying this, Cai Xukun felt incredibly relieved.


    But while he was enjoying himself, he had no idea how many netizens were utterly enraged by his words.


    "Fuck this guy!"


    "Looking down on poor people? Were his ancestors rich for eighteen generations?"


    "I fucking hate these snobs!"


    "Is this guy really Cai Xukun?"


    "Find out his real identity¡ªI want his head!"


    ...


    "Tch, just because you say you''re rich doesn''t mean you actually are. Just because you say you''re Cai Xukun doesn''t mean you really are. I could say I''m Cai Xukun''s dad¡ªwould you believe me?"


    Jiang Siming continued mocking him with disdain.


    "You don''t believe me? Add me as a friend, and I''ll show you my luxury cars and mansions, you poor dog!"


    "Sure, I don''t believe you!"


    Jiang Siming ''reluctantly'' agreed and read his muted account ID to Cai Xukun.


    The audience couldn''t hear it¡ªhe wasn''t stupid enough to reveal his account and bring trouble upon himself.


    Cai Xukun immediately added Jiang Siming''s account.


    Not long after, a flood of luxury car photos appeared in Jiang Siming''s QQ messages.


    Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini¡ªan entire collection of sports cars.


    There were also pictures of expensive clothes, ties, watches, and more inside a wardrobe.


    Every single item was undeniably expensive.


    "Heh, how do I know you didn''t just grab these photos off the internet? And this still doesn''t prove you''re actually Cai Xukun. For all I know, you could be his bodyguard or chauffeur, just flaunting someone else''s wealth." Jiang Siming still refused to believe him.


    "You dumb dog! You''re such a dumb dog! I''ll make you believe me completely today!"


    A short while later, a video arrived in Jiang Siming''s QQ messages¡ªclear for all to see.


    In the video, Cai Xukun stood beside his luxury car, taking a selfie video.


    He arrogantly spoke to the camera, "See this clearly? Am I or am I not Cai Xukun?"


    "Oh, so it really is you," Jiang Siming said with a ''sudden realization'' expression.


    But after saying that, he secretly muted himself and added, "Good luck."


    With that, Jiang Siming closed his mic and blocked Cai Xukun''s account.


    He didn''t need to save it because the livestream had a recording, and he had no interest in having a gender-ambiguous person on his QQ friends list.


    Then, he picked up the blue fragment that Cai Xukun had dropped.


    "Picked up [Sissy Pill *1] Blue Fragment *1 (1/1), fragment count full, can be used directly."


    [Sissy Pill]: After consumption, it can make a man even more feminine than a woman and change his sexual orientation. Duration: Lifetime. Use with caution!


    ????


    There''s even a pill like this?


    Jiang Siming was amused. He really wanted to find someone to test it on. Oh well, he''d experiment when the opportunity arose.


    "Yo, this silenced M24 is sick, and it even has an 8x scope."


    Jiang Siming took Cai Xukun''s equipment, left that comment, and walked away.


    Cai Xukun''s cursing continued behind him.


    Jiang Siming didn''t care in the slightest.


    For Cai Xukun, there was no need for Jiang Siming to retaliate anymore¡ªmillions of netizens would do it for him.


    After taking down Cai Guangkun, Jiang Siming glanced at the map and was surprised to see that Hu Ge''s golden shadow was still there.


    Hu Ge''s playstyle was also the cautious type¡ªfinding a secluded spot and carefully farming.


    Jiang Siming found a motorcycle on the road in L Harbor and drove toward Hu Ge''s location.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Unexpectedly, the people in L Harbor weren''t letting him leave and started shooting at him.


    Jiang Siming immediately got off his bike and landed a silenced M24 shot, instantly taking out one of them. The remaining players no longer dared to show their heads.


    Jiang Siming couldn''t be bothered to hunt them down and simply rode away on his motorcycle.


    This time, no one stopped him.


    Jiang Siming rode his motorcycle, his battle cloak flapping wildly in the wind, his combat boots pressing firmly on the footrest, looking incredibly cool.


    Unfortunately, he was still wearing a Level 1 helmet, so he couldn''t equip the skull helmet just yet.


    His motorcycle sped across mountains and cities, finally reaching Bright Summit.


    At that moment, Hu Ge was on Bright Summit.


    Seeing Jiang Siming approaching, classmate Li Xiaoyao was quite brave and took the initiative to open fire.


    After all, this was a shooting game¡ªhow could you let an enemy walk up to you without attacking?


    Jiang Siming drifted his motorcycle in place, effortlessly dodging Hu Ge''s AK bullets.


    "Wow, this guy''s driving skills are amazing!"


    Hu Ge, sitting at his computer at home, smiled elegantly and even complimented Jiang Siming''s vehicle control.


    Hu Ge''s hobbies were simple¡ªraising cats, reading books, and playing games.


    Apart from work, he mostly stayed at home. Perhaps that''s why all the original "Chinese Paladin" cast members were married, while he was still single.


    Old Hu was quite the homebody.


    Despite admiring Jiang Siming''s driving, Hu Ge wasn''t willing to back down and continued spraying his AK at him.


    However, his recoil control was terrible¡ªthe bullets were practically flying into the sky. Gaming was clearly a weak point for Old Hu...


    Jiang Siming dismounted his motorcycle, turned around, and landed an M24 shot right on Hu Ge''s neck.


    He didn''t aim for the helmet¡ªhe deliberately shot the neck.


    The audience thought Jiang Siming had made a mistake and laughed.


    -90


    Hu Ge''s neck took a direct hit, instantly draining his health bar.


    "Wow! This guy''s sniping is crazy accurate! I can''t beat him."


    Hu Ge quickly hid behind a rock to heal. That one shot nearly sent his soul flying.


    "Bro, bro, can we talk this out?"


    Jiang Siming chuckled bitterly.


    He had already made up his mind¡ªif Hu Ge didn''t speak, he''d just take him out and be done with it.


    But since Hu Ge had spoken, Jiang Siming felt a little reluctant to pull the trigger.

 Chapter 337: Advanced Gene Potion!

    After all, Lao Hu was one of the few artists he genuinely admired.


    "What do you want to discuss?" Jiang Siming asked.


    "Can you let me go? If we both make it to the final circle, I promise I won''t resist and will let you kill me. After this match, I have to go to work and might not be able to play for a long time. Let me enjoy the game a little longer¡ªeven just sneaking into the top twenty would satisfy me," Hu Ge said.


    Jiang Siming thought for a moment and finally suppressed his desire for the fragment. He got on his motorcycle and left, leaving a few bottles of drinks on the ground before departing.


    "You''re a great guy! Bro, you''re really awesome! Let''s add each other as frie..."


    Before he could finish the word "friend," Jiang Siming was already gone.


    "What a cool guy. If I ever run into him again, I must add him as a friend!" Hu Ge muttered to himself.


    He probably had no idea what kind of existence the player he encountered was in the game.


    This was someone who killed mercilessly and valued eliminations above all else. You could tell his obsession with kills just by watching him duo with others.


    The audience was starting to wonder if Jiang Siming had turned over a new leaf.


    How could he possibly let go of a guaranteed kill?


    Jiang Siming didn''t bother to explain. After leaving Bright Summit, he resumed his killing spree.


    In a noob lobby, killing was as easy as squashing ants for Jiang Siming.


    Even in high-ranked matches, he dominated effortlessly, so a noob lobby like this was far too simple.


    Wherever his motorcycle passed, not a single blade of grass remained¡ªall that was left were one corpse box after another.


    Unfortunately, in these noob lobbies, the drop rate for player fragments was even lower than in high-ranked matches.


    Despite racking up nearly twenty kills, he hadn''t obtained a single fragment.


    The more he thought about it, the more he felt that letting Hu Ge survive had been a mistake.


    But luckily, Hu Ge''s golden shadow was still on the map, meaning he was still alive, so there was still hope.


    Jiang Siming had already swapped his helmet for a level-two one¡ªof course, he got it by looting another player''s corpse.


    That golden skull helmet on his head looked incredibly cool!


    Combined with his outfit, he exuded an overwhelming aura!


    Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the final circle¡ªthe sixth zone had refreshed.


    But only five players remained on the battlefield.


    Normally, by the sixth circle, there would still be around twenty players left.


    Unfortunately, with Jiang Siming in this match, the kill count was even higher than a hacker''s.


    The fact that five players were left was already impressive.


    Among the five, aside from Jiang Siming, Hu Ge was also still alive.


    He was hiding behind a rock, seemingly unsure of what to do.


    There was clearly an enemy right in front of him, but he wasn''t shooting.


    "Bro, bro, are you the guy from Bright Summit?"


    Instead of fighting, Lao Hu kept his mic open and was calling out.


    Jiang Siming heard him and couldn''t help but chuckle¡ªso he was afraid of accidentally killing him.


    "That guy isn''t me. Go ahead and kill him!" Jiang Siming replied.


    "Damn! Bro, you''re still here? That''s awesome!" Hu Ge was thrilled¡ªhe had thought Jiang Siming was already dead.


    "Yeah, I''m still here. Just take that guy out."


    Since Jiang Siming knew that fragments rarely dropped in noob lobbies, he had lost interest in collecting kills and couldn''t even be bothered to steal them.


    "Alright, alright."


    Hearing this, Hu Ge didn''t hesitate. He picked up his SKS and fired five shots, finally managing to take the opponent down.


    "Haha! I got three kills this match¡ªthat''s a personal record for me! How many kills do you have?"


    Hu Ge laughed happily, excited to share his joy. Three kills were already a big achievement for him.


    Jiang Siming chuckled and said, "Well, congrats! I only have two."


    The audience rolled their eyes¡ªwho were you trying to fool? That big fat "29 kills" on the screen¡ªwas that fake?


    "It''s fine, it''s fine. You can have my kill later. I promised to let you kill me in the final circle. Do you want to do it now?"

 Chapter 338: No Return!

    "Hello, all high school seniors and middle school juniors."


    Jiang Siming''s voice became gentle, like that of a caring older brother.


    It reminded people of Sister Moon from over a decade ago.


    All the viewers unconsciously stopped what they were doing, halted their conversations, and listened attentively.


    "The one-way train from 2016 to 2019 is about to reach its final destination."


    Jiang Siming''s smiling voice made all the high school and middle school students feel an urge to cry.


    It also deeply resonated with many viewers who had already gone through that phase of life.


    One-way train...


    Yes, it truly was a one-way journey. Once it passed, it would never return.


    The days of student life¡ªthe classrooms filled with the sound of reading, the friends chasing each other during breaks¡ªwould be difficult to gather again.


    "Please gather your belongings carefully so nothing is left behind. Before stepping off, remember to turn around for one last look, etching every face into your heart. And most importantly, never forget your own original self, or your classmates may not recognize you in the future."


    That phrase¡ª"may not recognize you"¡ªbroke everyone''s emotional defenses.


    Only those who had already entered society could fully understand its meaning.


    "When you get off the train, don''t shed tears¡ªsmile. That way, the memories you leave behind will be of each other''s most beautiful moments.


    Also, don''t forget to thank the ''train attendants'' (teachers) who have worked tirelessly for you."


    "No matter your relationship with them, no matter how strict they were with you, they accompanied you from the drifting autumn leaves of that year, through the lush greenery of spring, and into the scorching summer sun¡ªa season of burning passion."


    "Three years of time, three years of youth.


    Children, time flies¡ªcherish the present. That''s all I have to say.


    I wish you all success in your exams and a bright future. Goodbye."


    After saying this, Jiang Siming ended the livestream, leaving behind a flood of viewers spamming crying emojis.


    "That''s too cruel, Ming! Making us cry and then just leaving us like that."


    "Ugh, even as a 26-year-old woman, I couldn''t help but cry listening to this."


    "Time flies, and the years slip away... sigh~"


    "Ming is seriously the best at emotional speeches. If I don''t support a streamer like this, who else would I support?"


    "Damn it, Ming is too cunning. I was about to make him sing, but he completely distracted us!"


    ...


    Jiang Siming had spoken those words sincerely, as the high school entrance exam would follow right after the college entrance exam.


    And this year, his younger sister was among the middle school students taking that exam.


    When the time came, he would have to return home to cheer her on.


    However, that wasn''t the focus of today''s livestream.


    The real highlight was what had happened when Jiang Siming encountered Cai Xukun.


    As soon as Jiang Siming ended his stream, a flood of content creators had already uploaded the raw footage online.


    "Cai Xukun Flaunts Wealth in Game, Insults the Poor, and Says They Don''t Deserve Self-Respect!"


    This was huge!


    Even Jiang Siming himself probably didn''t realize how big the impact would be.


    This news quickly became the hottest topic of discussion among netizens that night.


    The video in the news not only preserved everything Cai Xukun had said but also included the clip he had personally posted to defend himself.


    Many netizens shared the video on the Communist Youth League''s official website and tagged the authorities.


    "This is a celebrity? A role model for young people and children?"


    "My child heard what he said and asked me if our family is poor. How am I supposed to answer that?"


    "Is this how celebrities behave now? Are you going to do something about it?"


    "Corrupting children, spreading bad values, looking down on the poor¡ªdoes someone like this deserve to be a star?"


    "I just want to ask: Should a public figure be saying things like this?"


    The comments section under the Communist Youth League''s post was flooded with criticism.


    It was reminiscent of the scandal involving Wu Wukai years ago when he incited people to insult others.


    Both cases had stirred massive public outrage.


    Back then, Wu Wukai had only encouraged his fans to insult those who accused him of cheating¡ªhis target audience was relatively small.


    But now, Cai Xukun insulted the entire ordinary population.


    This is at least ten times worse than what Wu Wukai did.


    Although it does not compare to Dolce & Gabbana''s insult to China, the severity of this issue is already quite high.


    Cai Xukun can be effeminate, he can be pretentious, he can put on a show, and he can even buy fake traffic and fake popularity to hype himself up.


    People may hate you, but they really can''t do anything about it.


    But now, you are digging your own grave!


    The number of people who dislike you is not just in the thousands or millions¡ªthere are too many to count who are disgusted by you. Do you think they would miss such a perfect chance to kick you while you''re down?


    At this moment, chaos erupted inside Cai Xukun''s studio.


    The culprit himself sat in his luxurious villa with a blank expression, while the PR personnel, studio manager, and his agent were all frantic and overwhelmed.


    They wished they could go over and slap him a few times.


    "What the hell were you thinking? How could you cause such a huge disaster just by playing a game?!" The studio partner was furious.


    "I... how was I supposed to know that guy was a streamer? I thought he was just a random player," Cai Xukun said weakly.


    "Even if he were just a random player, you shouldn''t have said those things! If he recorded you, you''d still be screwed!" the partner snapped.


    The agent, looking completely speechless, asked, "The real issue is, why did you have to post your own video? If there were no video, we could still argue that it wasn''t you. But now, how are we supposed to handle the PR?"


    Cai Xukun knew he had made a huge mistake and didn''t dare to talk back.


    But he was filled with hatred toward Jiang Siming.


    That guy had been setting him up from the beginning, and he had fallen right into his trap without realizing it.


    But whether he hated him or not was now secondary¡ªthe most urgent matter was figuring out how to get through this crisis.


    There was no way to explain his way out of this.


    After discussing the matter, the studio decided to use "drunken behavior" as an excuse.


    That was the only option left.


    Soon, Cai Xukun posted a video on his personal Weibo.


    In the video, he appeared drunk (having just consumed alcohol).


    First, he sincerely admitted his mistake, then followed up with a formal apology.


    His demeanor was completely different from the foul-mouthed behavior he showed in the game.


    He claimed that he had been drunk and speaking nonsense.


    But of course, no one believed or accepted this excuse.


    If it were an ordinary celebrity, people might have let it slide.


    But Cai Xukun is universally disliked across the internet. The number of people who resent him is astronomical¡ªwhy would they just let this go?


    Besides, so what if you were drinking? Does being drunk excuse all your actions and words?


    Even Bi Fujian drank alcohol, but he still had to face the consequences of his actions.


    So, this PR move ended up being completely useless.


    The next day, the incident remained a top news headline.


    After verifying the situation, the Communist Youth League took decisive action¡ªone that delighted the public and shocked the entire entertainment industry.


    Ban!!!


    This decision was nothing short of a bombshell in the entertainment world.


    Cai Xukun was the most popular celebrity in the country at the time.


    Even though his fame came from controversy and hate, there was no denying that he was currently the hottest star.


    With his ban, it was no surprise that the entire industry was shaken!

 Chapter 339: Powerful Functionality

    This was actually the result of Xu Kun repeatedly crossing the line, leading to today''s downfall.


    When he was faking traffic and popularity, CCTV had already criticized him by name, but he refused to change his ways and continued as before.


    Now that another incident has occurred, the authorities decisively took action to put an end to him.


    This move was truly satisfying! Countless netizens cheered in approval!


    He might be the first artist in China whose downfall has brought so much joy and excitement to the public. Xu Kun has certainly "made history."


    A flood of viewers rushed to his past works, filling the comment sections with messages:


    [Lighting incense] [Rest in peace] [Family members express gratitude].


    As soon as the news of Xu Kun''s ban spread, all the celebrities who used to associate with him quickly distanced themselves.


    All of his works, including songs, rap tracks, and TV shows he participated in, were completely taken down.


    The programs, advertisements, and sponsors that had contracts with him immediately went to his studio to demand compensation.


    Since he was banned, they suffered huge losses, so they naturally came to collect their debts.


    Xu Kun''s studio had no choice but to pay them back.


    However, the penalty fees were too high, and in the end, they had to pawn off all of Xu Kun''s luxury cars and mansions.


    With no money left, who would still work for him? The studio disbanded instantly.


    Xu Kun went from being a "rich man" to a "debt-ridden man" overnight¡ªhis entire fortune was used to pay off debts, and he still owed a massive amount.


    A top-tier celebrity, at the peak of his popularity, fell from grace in less than a day. Truly, a dramatic downfall.


    When Jiang Siming heard about it, he was also shocked.


    He thought at most Xu Kun would be publicly criticized by authorities, but to be outright banned?


    Emm...


    From Welis and Qian Jiajia to Dolce & Gabbana, and now Xu Kun, it seems like... all of their downfalls are somehow related to him.


    How did this happen?


    Jiang Siming couldn''t figure it out, nor did he want to.


    After all, wasn''t it a good thing that these people were taken down? He was only doing good deeds.


    Right now, what Jiang Siming cared about was this bottle of advanced gene serum.


    Advanced Gene Serum:


    Marrow cleansing and bone refining: Enhances physique to the optimal level for cultivation, increasing cultivation speed by tenfold!


    Perfect memory: MAX memory enhancement.


    Wisdom of a hundred dragons: MAX intelligence boost.


    Irresistible charm: Significantly increases charisma and carries a 1% chance of triggering the hidden skill [Love at First Sight].


    Love at First Sight: When triggered, the opposite sex''s favorability towards the user will instantly reach 100 points.


    ...


    The powerful and comprehensive effects of this serum left Jiang Siming astonished.


    Lying in the bathtub, Jiang Siming decisively poured the serum into his mouth.


    A warm current surged into his body, spreading through all his meridians.


    However, unlike before, no black impurities oozed out of his body. This was likely because the intermediate gene serum had already refined his physique to perfection.


    So, there were no more toxins to be expelled.


    Even so, he could still feel changes occurring inside and outside his body, especially in his brain¡ªit felt as though his mind was expanding.


    The human brain is typically only developed up to 7%, but Jiang Siming felt that his had now reached 15%, or possibly even higher.


    Brain development is divided into two types:


    Left Brain: The "Commander of Knowledge," responsible for analytical thinking, logical reasoning, and intellectual development. Often called the "Mathematician''s Brain."


    Right Brain: The "Commander of Creativity," responsible for imagination, intuition, and divergent thinking. Often called the "Artist''s Brain."


    Jiang Siming could feel both his left and right brain being enhanced.


    Things he previously couldn''t remember now surfaced instantly, with crystal-clear clarity.


    Academic problems that once puzzled him were now effortlessly solved in his mind.


    If he were placed on the "Super Brain" competition show now, he could easily crush all previous champions.


    And that wasn''t all¡ªhis body also underwent subtle but noticeable changes.


    Stepping out of the bathtub and looking into the mirror, Jiang Siming initially thought he looked the same.


    However, with his newly enhanced intelligence, he immediately noticed the differences.


    He had grown 2 cm taller, and his skin tone had darkened slightly¡ªnot enough to be obvious, but he looked healthier than before.


    His body muscles became more flexible, no longer stiff and tense like before, as if a Muay Thai fighter had suddenly mastered Tai Chi, blending hardness with softness.


    Another noticeable change was his overall charm. This change was significant¡ªeven Jiang Siming himself found it hard to handle when looking in the mirror, feeling relieved that he wasn''t a woman.


    However, at this rate, Jiang Siming feared he might be overwhelmed by women in the future... Emmmm... This was truly a headache-inducing problem.


    The biggest change, in Jiang Siming''s opinion, was in his dantian. The speed of his true energy growth and circulation had increased by several levels.


    Originally, his true energy had already taken a liquid form, but now he noticed that it was becoming more viscous, as if it was beginning to merge.


    It felt like he might level up again in a short time, especially if he diligently practiced his **Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique**...


    All these changes made Jiang Siming very happy¡ªhe was one step closer to his dream of being invincible.


    After the Foundation Establishment stage, the next step was the Golden Core stage.


    He wondered if reaching the Golden Core stage would allow him to achieve sword flight. If it did, that would be incredibly cool!


    After getting dressed and heading downstairs, Wang Xinyi and Yin Zhirou stared at Jiang Siming in a daze for a long time. Finally, their eyes sparkled as they ran up to him, inspecting him from head to toe.


    "Senior Brother, why do you look so much more handsome all of a sudden~?"


    "I think so too. Darling, are you planning to make all the women outside fall for you?" Yin Zhirou covered her mouth.


    Jiang Siming shrugged as if saying, "Is it my fault for being handsome?"


    That evening, he picked up Li Yingzi from work and went to her house. She had the same reaction, completely mesmerized by Jiang Siming''s "beauty."


    Even when clapping, she couldn''t bear to let go of Jiang Siming, which made Old Jiang quite happy...


    In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.


    It was also the first day of the national college entrance exam. Of course, aside from households with senior high school students, everyone else was celebrating the festival as usual.


    Early in the morning, Jiang Siming was still sound asleep in the arms of his beloved when he received a call from his mother.


    "It''s already so late, and you''re still not up? How are you planning to spend the Dragon Boat Festival, son?"


    Jiang Siming yawned while holding Wang Xinyi''s fragrant shoulders and replied, "Don''t worry, Mom. I''m spending it with my girlfriend. She made zongzi and cooked a meal, so your son won''t go hungry."


    "That''s great, hahaha."


    Hearing that Jiang Siming was spending the holiday with his girlfriend, his mother was very pleased.


    Jiang''s father grabbed the phone and said, "You little rascal, not coming home for the Dragon Boat Festival? When you do, I''ll teach you a lesson."


    "Ahem, Dad, I''m doing this so I can bring your daughter-in-law home sooner. I need to spend more time nurturing our relationship." Jiang Siming made up an excuse.


    Wang Xinyi, who had just woken up, giggled under the covers when she heard this.

 Chapter 340: Car Crash

    "This is settled then, you have to bring it back for me this New Year, it''s decided."


    "Well... alright."


    Jiang Siming had no choice but to agree. Bringing his girlfriend home was easy, the only dilemma was which one to bring...


    "Alright, go on and enjoy yourself, by the way, I have to tell you, the construction team you hired is too professional but also too expensive. They''ve used all foreign imports for our house, and it''s already cost over 3 million. Maybe you should stop them, this money is too much." Jiang''s father said with a sigh.


    Principal Wang had helped hire a top-tier construction team to work in Yunnan for Jiang''s father. Their design concepts were very advanced, but equally costly.


    Jiang Siming laughed, "Don''t worry, Dad, I''ve already paid them off. Let them do whatever they want, as long as it looks good, it''ll make my wedding more impressive in the future, right?"


    "That''s true, but what about the five million you owe me? Should I transfer it to your account? We don''t really need that much money at home."


    "No need, you keep it for yourself or buy a car for Uncle, you can use it however you like, just don''t get involved with anything illegal." Jiang Siming replied.


    Jiang''s father spat and laughed, "I''m your dad, do I need you to teach me?"


    Jiang Siming chuckled, and both father and son understood each other without saying a word.


    He then greeted the other family members, telling them he''d be back in a while because his little sister had her high school entrance exam soon.


    Jiang Siming ended the call.


    He no longer felt sleepy and decided it was time to get up to pick up Li Yingzi and Zhao Xuan for the holidays.


    "Get up, little lazy pig." Jiang Siming lifted the blanket and slapped Wang Xinyi''s little butt.


    Although they had been together for a while, Wang Xinyi was still shy. She blushed as she got up to find her bra, only to realize Jiang Siming had it in his hand.


    The two of them played around for a while in the bedroom, then went out and happened to see Yin Zhirou, who had come to wake them up.


    "Did you get tired last night? Why are you up so late today?"


    This was Yin Zhirou speaking to Wang Xinyi, as Jiang Siming was tough and wouldn''t be tired.


    "Zhirou, are you picking on me too? Tonight, when it''s your turn to serve, just wait and see how I''ll tease you tomorrow!" Wang Xinyi said with a flushed face.


    "Alright, let''s go downstairs and eat. Darling, after breakfast, you need to hurry and bring both of us over. It''s a shame YoonA has work and can''t come, or else it would be lively at home. But four people are perfect for playing Mahjong." Yin Zhirou said expectantly.


    "The Mahjong table is in the entertainment room on the third floor, do you want to play up there?" Wang Xinyi asked, also eager to try.


    Jiang Siming heard this and tossed his hand, heading upstairs. "I''ll bring it down for you."


    "It''s really heavy, Senior, let us help you," Wang Xinyi said.


    The electric Mahjong table was indeed heavy, at least a hundred kilograms.


    Jiang Siming chuckled. As a foundation-level expert, if he couldn''t move a Mahjong table, it would be better to crash into a tofu block and die.


    Soon, Jiang Siming easily carried the Mahjong table downstairs, with the two women following behind, admiring him.


    "Put it here?"


    "Yes, yes, this spot is the best, it''s well-ventilated and we can watch TV."


    The two women directed, and Jiang Siming set the Mahjong table in place.


    After breakfast, Jiang Siming drove his Rolls-Royce Wraith to pick up his wife.


    Recently, Jiang Siming had been enjoying driving this car. It had a high status, and the sedan was much more comfortable than a sports car.


    Sports cars had very small spaces and were very low, and with Jiang Siming''s tall build, driving one was uncomfortable.


    The sedan, however, was comfortable and stylish.


    And the key thing was that it was a Rolls-Royce, which spoke for itself.


    As he drove, Jiang Siming noticed that as soon as he approached the area near the school, there were many traffic police maintaining order.


    It was already 8:30, and the annual college entrance exam was about to begin.


    This was the busiest time for traffic police, as they had to manage traffic flow while keeping an eye on the vehicles, and sometimes even help the exam candidates with issues.


    Many media outlets were at the scene, not wanting to miss the opportunity to ride the wave of this annual hot-news moment.


    However, they didn''t dare interview the students for fear of disturbing them and only dared to interview the parents waiting outside.


    At times like this, honking near the school is absolutely prohibited. Honking isn''t just about getting points deducted; you might even get a few days of detention.


    So, even though the traffic was heavy, Jiang Siming obediently queued up and drove.


    Vehicles around him kept a wide distance from his car, afraid that if their brakes failed, they might crash into it, as messing with a luxury car was no joke.


    There had been a news story before about a young man driving a van, cutting in front of a Rolls-Royce, and crashing into it. He had to pay over 2 million in compensation.


    At the time, the young man and his father were so scared they almost had a heart attack. Thankfully, the Rolls-Royce owner saw their fear and eventually forgave them the compensation.


    So, it''s always best to stay far away from luxury cars.


    Jiang Siming didn''t care about the stares around him and leisurely watched the large group of parents at the school gate. Seeing their expectant looks as they sent their children inside, Jiang Siming thought back to his high school days.


    His father, mother, and grandparents had all come together to cheer him on. No matter how hot the sun, they stayed at the gate, unwilling to leave, just hoping their grandson would do well on the exam.


    Of course, Jiang Siming didn''t disappoint them and, as expected, was admitted to Fudan University.


    This year, Jiang Wanwan was taking her high school entrance exam, and the whole family planned to "tour" outside the middle school, just like a vacation.


    Thinking about it made Jiang Siming smile. He wondered if his little sister would be nervous.


    Just then, Jiang Siming heard a sharp scream behind him.


    He turned around and saw a young girl riding a bicycle, going too fast, her front wheel unstable, wobbling toward his Rolls-Royce.


    Bang!


    The bike''s wheel really did make contact with the rear of Jiang Siming''s car.


    The girl fell to the ground, and so did the bicycle.


    Wow!


    Now, the surrounding drivers were watching the spectacle with great interest.


    Someone actually dared to crash into a Rolls-Royce, and on a bicycle no less?


    Jiang Siming got out of the car to check on his beloved vehicle.


    "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, sir, I didn''t mean to... I was in a hurry to take the exam... I was going too fast, I didn''t mean to... I''m so sorry..."


    The girl realized she was in big trouble when she saw the car''s license plate, which she had only seen on TV.


    "This car must be worth over 10 million, right? It''s a Rolls-Royce."


    "Indeed, if the paint got scratched, it would probably cost hundreds of thousands."


    "Yeah, this kid was really careless. I wonder if the parents are wealthy."


    ...


    Hearing the surrounding drivers gossiping, the young girl was scared, crying and apologizing to Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming didn''t say anything. He took a tissue from the car and handed it to her.


    "I''m not asking you to pay for it, you didn''t damage anything, so why are you scared? Stop crying and wipe your tears."


    In fact, she hadn''t damaged anything; she had just bumped it lightly, leaving a bit of dirt, and everyone mistakenly thought she had scratched it.

 Chapter 341: What a Good Person!

    "Alright, hurry inside and take your exam. It''s really nothing. Why are you crying, little girl?"


    Jiang Siming chuckled and ruffled her hair, just like he would with his own little sister.


    As he did so, he suddenly realized that the girl was truly beautiful¡ªtall and graceful, with long flowing hair, delicate features, and especially large, expressive eyes.


    Her lips had that uniquely sensual shape, similar to Angelina Jolie''s, which made them look particularly attractive on her face.


    Even now, with tears streaming down her cheeks like a weeping beauty, she remained stunningly delicate and endearing.


    She was definitely a beauty in the making. Give her two more years, and she would be on par with Jiang Siming''s girlfriends.


    "Really...?" The girl asked cautiously.


    "Really. Now hurry up and take your exam, you''re going to be late." Jiang Siming reassured her.


    Hearing this, the girl understood how important the exam was. She tried to pick up her bicycle, only to realize the chain was broken.


    "What should I do now... My exam venue is at another school..." The girl became anxious again, her eyes welling up with tears.


    Jiang Siming opened his trunk and stuffed the dirty bicycle inside.


    Then he opened the passenger door and said to the girl, "Get in, I''ll take you there."


    "This..." The girl was stunned. She had never sat in such a luxurious car in her life and didn''t know how to react.


    "If you want to score zero on your Chinese exam, just keep standing there." Jiang Siming said helplessly.


    Hearing that, the girl had no choice but to get in. She sat cautiously, her feet pressed together, afraid of dirtying the expensive car.


    Jiang Siming ignored her, shut the door, got into the driver''s seat, and started the car.


    "Which school?"


    "Fudan Affiliated High School."


    Jiang Siming nodded, turned the car around, and drove toward Fudan Affiliated High School.


    When he reached an intersection, the traffic light turned red. Without hesitation, he stepped on the gas and sped through it, ignoring the potential penalty.


    A traffic officer spotted him and immediately pursued him on a motorcycle.


    Jiang Siming paid no mind and drove at high speed. His racing skills were put to full use, weaving through traffic with expert precision.


    In just five minutes, they arrived at Fudan Affiliated High School.


    A crowd of parents and reporters at the entrance saw the luxury car rushing in.


    The traffic officer quickly moved to block the car, while reporters pointed their cameras toward them.


    "Sir, you were speeding and ran a red light. Please step out of the vehicle and cooperate with our inspection." The officer knocked on the window, suspecting that Jiang Siming had been drinking.


    Jiang Siming opened the car door and got out. Before he could say anything, the girl anxiously spoke up in his defense.


    "Officer, I was about to be late for my exam, and my bike broke down. This big brother gave me a ride. Please don''t fine him!"


    The officer glanced at the bicycle in the backseat, then checked the girl''s exam admission ticket and quickly understood the situation.


    "What a good person!"


    The gathered parents began murmuring among themselves, giving Jiang Siming a thumbs-up.


    "Officer, let the kid go take her exam first. We can settle our issue afterward." Jiang Siming said with a smile.


    The officer''s attitude softened considerably and nodded in agreement.


    Jiang Siming then turned to the girl and said, "Go on, you need to be in the exam hall fifteen minutes early. I''ll leave your bike at the school gate later."


    "Big brother, can I have your contact information? After the exam, I want to bring my parents to properly thank you." The girl looked at him with hopeful eyes.


    Jiang Siming originally wanted to refuse, but seeing her pure and expectant gaze, he couldn''t bear to.


    He was also worried that if he rejected her, she might overthink it and perform poorly in the exam, which would make him feel guilty.


    "Here''s my contact, but I have one condition¡ªonly come find me if you score well. If not, then forget it. Can you do that?"


    Jiang Siming took a business card from his car, one from Yinghuan Financial.


    The girl nodded firmly, took the card, and turned around to enter the exam hall.


    Before leaving, she turned around and shouted to Jiang Siming, "Brother, my name is Lu Yao."


    After saying that, the girl happily entered the exam hall.


    A teacher specifically led her to find her classroom, so there was no need to worry.


    "Sir, did you really meet this girl on the way?"


    "Sir, can we interview you?"


    "Sir, we are from Shanghai Education News..."


    ...


    The reporters swarmed forward, eager to interview Jiang Siming, partly because his appearance was striking and also because he was driving a Rolls-Royce.


    A true rich second-generation, and incredibly handsome¡ªthis was a hot news story!


    Fortunately, the traffic police blocked them, keeping them away.


    "Sir, your driver''s license is fine. Given that your violation had a justified reason, we will not penalize you this time. Please drive carefully in the future."


    The traffic police kindly decided to overlook his violations.


    In society, if someone violates traffic rules while doing a good deed, as long as it doesn''t cause major issues, the police usually handle it leniently.


    "Thank you, officer. I''ll be on my way now. Wishing you success in your work."


    Jiang Siming greeted the officer before getting back into his car and leaving the scene in a flash.


    As for the bicycle, the police officer had already moved it aside.


    The reporters could only take a few more photos from a distance in frustration.


    Actually, every year during the college entrance exam, similar news stories appear¡ªmostly taxi drivers rushing students to exam venues or helping them retrieve their exam permits from home.


    There were private car owners helping as well, but never before had a super luxury car like a Rolls-Royce been involved.


    Such a great headline¡ªit had to be reported properly!


    Jiang Siming didn''t care at all; he had just lent a hand to a student and was now on his way back to Zhao Xuan''s house.


    When he arrived at Zhao Xuan''s house, Zhao Xiaoxiao was already waiting at the door.


    "Dad, why did you take so long?" Zhao Xiaoxiao beamed as soon as she saw Jiang Siming.


    Zhao Xuan still felt a little shy about her daughter calling him that, but she also liked it.


    "Xiaoxiao, sit in the back with Mom. Dad still has to pick someone up later." Zhao Xuan said.


    Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded and grinned. "Xiaoxiao knows, it''s to pick up Xiaoxiao''s little mom, right?"


    Jiang Siming cleared his throat twice¡ªwhat the heck, "little mom" now?


    But strangely, Zhao Xiaoxiao wasn''t wrong at all.


    "Hmm? Why is the back seat dirty?" Zhao Xuan noticed as she got into the car.


    "Oh, I ran into a student whose bicycle broke down on the way. I put her bike in the trunk and drove her to school." Jiang Siming replied.


    "So Dad was doing a good deed! Xiaoxiao almost thought Dad was just sleeping in. To make up for it, Xiaoxiao will give Dad a kiss."


    Zhao Xiaoxiao mischievously leaned forward from the back seat and kissed Jiang Siming on the cheek before sitting back down.


    Jiang Siming felt that her words sounded nice, but for some reason, they also felt oddly awkward.

 Chapter 342: Dragon Boat Festival is Here!

    The car drove to Li Yingzi''s house and picked her up as well.


    The reason Jiang Siming didn''t let them drive themselves was because he was afraid it would make them feel awkward, so he took the initiative to go pick them up.


    After all, it was their first time coming to this big family, so they definitely needed some time to adjust.


    When they got home, the house immediately became lively.


    Although the four women were meeting for the first time, they somehow managed to communicate effortlessly and soon became as close as sisters.


    What made Jiang Siming speechless was when Zhao Xiaoxiao greeted them all by calling them "mom"...


    This made the three women smile widely, but it left Jiang Siming stunned.


    They were all in their early twenties, and suddenly, they had a daughter who was just a teenager. Didn''t they feel awkward at all?


    But this was already beyond Jiang Siming''s control; a big meal was more important.


    Today''s lunch was quite lavish, with a huge table full of dishes and a large plate of zongzi in the center, symbolizing the Dragon Boat Festival.


    At the entrance, there were irises and mugwort hanging, a custom found across the country.


    The five adults, along with a child, sat around the dining table. The TV was on in the living room, and with the aroma of zongzi and food filling the air, the atmosphere at home was very harmonious.


    Jiang Siming took a zongzi, unwrapped it, and handed it to Zhao Xiaoxiao, who was happily sipping the corn soup made by Wang Xinyi.


    Zhao Xiaoxiao smiled as she took it, took a bite, and showed a satisfied expression.


    "Mom, can we come here to eat more often?" Zhao Xiaoxiao asked eagerly, looking at Zhao Xuan.


    Zhao Xuan laughed and pinched Zhao Xiaoxiao''s cheek, saying, "Do you think the food I make isn''t tasty?"


    "No, I just want to play with the moms more," Zhao Xiaoxiao quickly explained.


    Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "You can come whenever you want, but you need to make sure Zhijia and Xinyi are happy, so they''ll cook for you."


    Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately got up and brought a zongzi to Wang Xinyi, Yin Zhirou, and Li Yingzi.


    "Moms, please have a big zongzi!"


    Everyone couldn''t help but laugh, praising Zhao Xiaoxiao for being so sweet.


    Jiang Siming, however, saw through her act. This little girl wasn''t as innocent as she seemed; she was quite crafty.


    But honestly, the zongzi made by Xinyi and Zhirou was really delicious. Jiang Siming took a bite of the zongzi with preserved meat.


    The salty fragrance of the preserved meat, paired with the steamed sticky rice, gave him a deep sense of satisfaction.


    Zongzi had existed since ancient times, and it later spread to Japan and Korea, where it became extremely popular.


    Japan''s rolled sushi and Korea''s rice balls were both derived from the Chinese zongzi.


    Zongzi is so fulfilling that you don''t even need rice. Eating it with side dishes is a rare treat, only available on this special day.


    While eating, they chatted. The women talked about cosmetics and clothes, and Jiang Siming talked with Zhao Xiaoxiao about games and comics.


    This kind of family atmosphere was something Jiang Siming had never experienced in Shanghai, despite living there for so many years.


    Since university, Jiang Siming had lived in Shanghai for seven years, but he had never felt like Shanghai was home.


    But now, Jiang Siming felt that anywhere with his loved ones was home.


    On the TV, they were also reporting about the Dragon Boat Festival, with the dragon boat race being the biggest highlight of the celebration.


    However, in Jiang Siming''s hometown, there were still two other customs for the festival. One was wearing sachets.


    The purpose was to protect against snakes, insects, rats, and ants that were prevalent during the summer. In rural areas of Yunnan, people would wear sachets to repel mosquitoes and pests.


    The sachets contained herbs that not only refreshed the mind but also had insect-repelling properties.


    Another custom was burning wormwood, but this practice was dangerous because it could easily start a fire, so it was discontinued.


    The sachets, however, had continued to this day.


    Jiang Siming took out a box and opened it to reveal small sachets shaped like little elephants. They were all different colors, and each one was incredibly cute.


    These weren''t made by Jiang Siming, but by his grandmother, who had sent them to him.


    "Come, come, each of you take one, these were made by my grandmother," Jiang Siming said, smiling at everyone.


    The five women, including Zhao Xiaoxiao, instantly fell in love with the adorable and beautiful sachets, put down their chopsticks, and quickly chose one.


    "It smells so good, it''s better than perfume."


    "And the embroidery is really beautiful, the craftsmanship is amazing!"


    "I''m going to keep this meaningful item well."


    "It''s so nice, after the Dragon Boat Festival, I''m going to hang it in my car as a decoration, and keep it there forever."


    ...


    They were not only beautiful but also fragrant. The most important thing was that Jiang Siming''s grandmother had made them, so how could the women not like them?


    Each of them carefully collected them like treasures.


    Jiang Siming closed the box and set it aside. There were still a few sachets left inside, and he planned to give them to Tuan Tuan and Dai Dai when they came back from their Dragon Boat Festival holiday.


    He would also give one to Jiang Lan, as she had returned home.


    Unfortunately, Li Shengxue wasn''t there, otherwise, she would have gotten one too.


    Jiang Siming had asked his grandmother to make more sachets specifically, under the pretense of giving them to friends, but he didn''t dare say they were for his many girlfriends.


    His grandmother would probably be shocked.


    Everyone carefully put away the sachets, even Zhao Xiaoxiao carefully tucked hers into her pocket, gently patting it before continuing to eat.


    The TV report finished covering the Dragon Boat Festival and began reporting on today''s college entrance examination, just like every year.


    The scenes from various exam locations were all the same, with a large group of parents gathered at the school gates waiting for news of their children''s success.


    There were also scenes of traffic police maintaining order.


    Then, suddenly, a familiar shot appeared.


    A host from CCTV reported: "Around 8:35 this morning, the owner of a Rolls-Royce in Shanghai ran three red lights and exceeded the speed limit while rushing a student with a broken bicycle into the exam hall. After verification by the traffic police, the owner was given a verbal warning and no points were deducted. The owner then left without accepting an interview. We would like to send applause and praise to this anonymous good Samaritan."


    Wow, CCTV even reported it?


    Jiang Siming was a bit surprised. Who would have thought that such a small thing would be chosen by CCTV for coverage?


    Although the host immediately switched to other news, this segment of the report lasted at least ten seconds.


    To be on CCTV news for ten seconds was truly unexpected.


    Moreover, the footage showed Jiang Siming talking with the traffic police, which meant he appeared on camera.


    "Congratulations, Senior Brother, you''re famous now," Wang Xinyi said with a smile.


    Zhao Xuan laughed and said, "I''ll get Douyu to cover this story exclusively. Your live stream popularity will probably go up again."


    "I''ll send the news to the company and let them see how righteous their chairman is," Li Yingzi chuckled.


    Yin Zhirou teasingly said, "When class starts, I''ll tell my students about this. Let them learn from this spirit."


    "CCTV news even reported it, Dad, you''re amazing!"


    Zhao Xiaoxiao, with food all over her mouth, still didn''t forget to give Jiang Siming a thumbs up.


    Now it was Jiang Siming''s turn to feel a bit embarrassed. What was all this praise for?


    He just did a good deed. Was it necessary to flatter him like this? He wasn''t a three-year-old!


    Jiang Siming was secretly enjoying the attention.

 Chapter 343: Go Fighting! Premieres!

    After enjoying a delicious and lively lunch, Wang Xinyi and the others no longer wanted to play mahjong and decided to go shopping instead.


    Jiang Siming went along with their idea and took four women plus a little girl to IFC Mall.


    He spent the entire afternoon carrying shopping bags, filling up two car trunks with purchases. They even stopped by the LV and Herme?s stores in his mall to grab a bunch of handbags before finally heading home.


    In reality, these were all things Jiang Siming wanted to buy himself. If any of his wives lingered on an item for more than five seconds, he would immediately decide to purchase it¡ªwhether it was tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Whether it was a luxury brand or an expensive item, if his wives liked it, he bought it!


    Come on, with a net worth of hundreds of billions, does he even need to check the price tags anymore? That would be an insult!


    However, when it was their turn to buy something for Jiang Siming, he would complain that this was too expensive and that was unnecessary...


    That was just how he was¡ªgenerous to those around him but stingy with himself.


    Halfway through, Zhao Xiaoxiao got tired of walking and clung onto Jiang Siming, refusing to get down.


    Meanwhile, the other four women were still full of energy. Jiang Siming couldn''t help but marvel¡ªshopping really must be an innate passive ability of all women.


    Luckily, he was a cultivator. Otherwise, he would''ve already found a boyfriend storage lounge in the mall to lie down in.


    After shopping the whole afternoon, they returned home. Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep, but the four women still had the energy to gather around the mahjong table for another round of fun.


    Seeing them so happy, Jiang Siming was quite pleased as well.


    Indeed, having multiple wives was great. Before, when it was just Wang Xinyi and Yin Zhirou at home, they couldn''t really do much¡ªjust watch TV and chat.


    Now, with two more people, everything was lively and fun. The atmosphere was great, mahjong was in full swing, and they could play all sorts of games.


    The only downside was that they still couldn''t all sleep together in one bed¡ªsomething Jiang Siming deeply regretted. He still had more work to do on that front!


    Nightfall quietly arrived.


    The four wives had long left the mahjong table. After dinner, they all gathered around the sofa to watch the living room TV.


    Because tonight was the broadcast of Jiang Siming''s show¡ªthe latest episode of *Go Fighting!* airing on Dragon TV.


    Other people might not know that Jiang Siming was in it, but of course, his wives did. So, after dinner, they all sat eagerly in front of the TV, waiting.


    Zhao Xiaoxiao sat in Jiang Siming''s lap, holding a tin of Jenny Bakery cookies, happily munching while watching.


    She loved this kind of atmosphere¡ªlots of people, lively conversations, and, most importantly, Jiang Siming by her side.


    When she lived with Zhao Xuan, her mother was always busy, and she was often home alone. It was a lonely life.


    But now, things were great.


    Not only were they waiting for the show, but millions of viewers across the country were also eagerly anticipating *Go Fighting!*


    As the most popular variety show in China, *Go Fighting!* had been airing for five years, amassing tens of millions of loyal fans.


    Their love for the show was like the passion anime fans had for *Re:Zero* or Marvel fans had for *Iron Man.*


    In China, only two variety shows had ever reached this level¡ªone was the untouchable *Happy Camp,* and the other was *Day Day Up.*


    However, *Day Day Up* had been on a downward slope in recent years, losing a large number of viewers.


    In terms of outdoor reality shows, the only real competition was Korea''s *Running Man.*


    As for China''s *Running Man,* while the first two seasons were phenomenal, the later ones kept declining in quality, to the point where it was now worse than a third-rate show.


    It had become nothing more than a platform for promoting young idols and boosting their popularity¡ªnobody watched it anymore.


    Even key members like Deng Chao and Chen He had left because they couldn''t stand the show''s direction, making it even less appealing.


    So currently, *Go Fighting!* remained the undisputed king of outdoor variety shows.


    Though the absence of Huang Lei, Huang Bo, Sun Honglei, and the original director had disappointed many old fans¡ªsome even considering dropping the show¡ªthere was a glimmer of hope.


    Before this episode aired, Dragon TV had released a teaser announcing that a new guest would be joining, sparking curiosity among viewers.


    "Who is the special guest for this episode?"


    The big guessing game began. "I guess it''s Sha Yi!"


    "The show must invite newcomers with different styles. Sha Yi is also a big fool, so it''s definitely not him."


    "I guess it''s Wu Yifan. Since Yixing left, they definitely need another good-looking guy."


    "Screw Wu Yifan. If it''s him, I''m quitting the show."


    "Are they bringing him in to sing ''Look at this bowl, it''s big and round''? What''s the difference between him and Cai Xukun?"


    "I don''t care who joins, I just hope the show has new comedic moments. Stop relying on dumb jokes¡ªI can barely laugh anymore."


    ...


    Amidst the audience''s heated discussions, prime-time arrived, and major satellite TV stations aired their flagship shows.


    "Happy Camp," "Day Day Up," "Running Man," "Go Fighting," "If You Are the One," "Ace vs. Ace"¡ªall the top variety shows were launching new episodes.


    Today was also Dragon Boat Festival, a national holiday.


    In this battle for ratings, no network would miss the chance to compete, each pulling out their best tricks.


    With fierce competition, the ratings of each show were close, hovering around 2%.


    These were the most popular variety shows at the moment, and their performances were quite similar.


    On Dragon TV, "Go Fighting" officially began its broadcast. This was the fourth episode of the fifth season.


    If this episode disappointed the audience again, more viewers would leave, and the show would fall from its pedestal as a phenomenon-level program, becoming just another first-tier show.


    The familiar "Go Fighting" logo appeared on the screen.


    The scene switched to Wulong, Chongqing, after a rainstorm.


    A bus with the show''s logo was parked there, with the new director and production team waiting nearby.


    Soon, five figures appeared in the distance¡ªDilraba, Lei Jiayin, Yue Yunpeng, Little Pig (Zhu), and Wang Xun.


    They walked up to the cameras, and the audience was stunned.


    Where was the new guest? Didn''t they promise a new guest?


    "Huh? Why are there fewer people today?" Dilraba asked in confusion.


    Male fans who liked her showed sweet smiles¡ªher stunning beauty was truly captivating.


    Moreover, she wore slightly short shorts in this episode, and her long legs grabbed everyone''s attention.


    "Brother Lei couldn''t make it this episode either. The director said they invited a new guest," Little Pig replied.


    "Who? Is it Lin Zhiling?"


    "Could it be Bingbing?"


    "I guess it''s Liu Yan."


    ...


    The men took turns guessing, making many male viewers excited.


    Could it really be one of them? If so, another beauty would join the show.


    But the director shook his head. "It''s a male guest. His surname is Jiang."


    Little Pig and the others immediately looked disappointed.


    The post-production team even added rolling-eye effects above their heads, making them look adorable.


    Variety shows rely 70% on guests and 30% on post-production.


    A great post-production team can make a show achieve extraordinary effects.

 Chapter 344: I’m Going to Lick the Screen!

    Another round of guessing, but no one got it right.


    The camera shifted to the other end of the stone path, where a tall and well-proportioned figure walked in with a confident stride.


    The post-production team added an energetic BGM, switching angles rapidly to elevate the entrance atmosphere to its peak.


    First, the shot focused on the legs¡ªlong and slender¡ªcausing many female viewers to exclaim, "Long-legged oppa!" Was it Lee Min-ho or Wu Yifan?


    There were only a handful of male celebrities in the entertainment industry with legs this long and well-proportioned.


    Next, the angle shifted to the upper body. His physique was evenly proportioned, though his clothes concealed further details.


    However, judging by the clothing size and shoulder width, experienced female viewers concluded that his figure was absolutely top-notch! He also appeared quite young, likely a fresh-faced idol.


    "Hurry up and show his face! Damn post-production, making it so mysterious!"


    Viewers were getting impatient¡ªwho the hell was this?


    Finally, the camera zoomed in on his face.


    It was a face without a single flaw.


    His features were chiseled, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes¡ªhis beauty was like a masterpiece of nature!


    There was nothing to criticize.


    Perfectionists, who always found faults in male celebrities¡ªwhether it be a flat nose, unattractive lips, small eyes, or dark skin¡ªfound no such flaws here.


    These features... Could they have been sculpted by the hands of a divine artist?


    Was he the dream lover personally crafted by the goddess Nu?wa?


    He had to be.


    Female viewers at home clutched their remotes, pressing down on their racing hearts.


    Stop beating so fast, stay composed!


    Damn it! To hell with composure!


    I''m going to lick the screen!


    As countless female viewers were left stunned by Jiang Siming''s godly looks, they were also completely confused.


    "Who is this?"


    The number of people watching live streams was nowhere near the number of people watching TV. This was why television stations remained dominant despite the rise of online streaming.


    No matter how popular live streaming got, it was still overshadowed by television. Many people still had no idea who Jiang Siming was.


    On top of that, Jiang Siming rarely made public appearances, making him even less recognizable.


    Fortunately, the show had come prepared. A narrator and a series of edited clips immediately introduced his identity¡ªfar more engaging than having the director explain it.


    "Jiang Siming! The number one live streamer in China, with an enormous fanbase and staggering popularity. In 2019, he competed in the PUBG Global Championship in London, where he led his team to victory with his own strength, winning countless foreign fans!"


    The narrator''s deep, magnetic voice was full of excitement, accompanied by footage of Jiang Siming''s championship win in London.


    The audience was instantly drawn in.


    Many viewers slapped their thighs¡ªso it was **Ming Shen**!


    "Not only that! He is also a musical genius! Within just two months, he released seven singles, including *Zou Ma*, *Luzhou Moon*, and *Little Love Song*, all of which topped major music charts. His latest single, *Old Boy*, has taken the entire country by storm!"


    The background displayed various music charts, all featuring Jiang Siming''s songs at the top.


    At this point, even those unfamiliar with gaming suddenly had a realization.


    "Shit! So it''s him!"


    He was the undisputed hottest new singer of the year. No wonder his name sounded so familiar¡ªhe had already been a part of their lives without them even noticing.


    As the narration ended, the camera cut from Jiang Siming back to the five original guests.


    The male guests had various expressions¡ªsome envious, some jealous.


    But there was only one female guest: Reba.


    Her expression made many female viewers smile knowingly.


    "So handsome~"


    Reba covered her mouth in astonishment.


    The post-production added a blushing face with heart-shaped eyes to Reba, which was indeed how she looked at that moment.


    Many male viewers felt a pang in their hearts, thinking, "Damn, here comes a rival in love!"


    Jiang Siming''s arrival received mixed reactions¡ªmany liked him, but some were indifferent.


    Some felt that inviting a streamer and internet singer to the show was too casual, thinking he was only there for clout.


    However, many were willing to keep watching, curious about how Jiang Siming would perform in *Go Fighting!*


    People speculated that he would take over Yixing''s role, just being a handsome face to charm female viewers.


    The show continued.


    After greeting everyone, Jiang Siming was introduced to the first task: the punching machine would determine different missions.


    When the director mentioned that Reba, as a female, could get bonus points, Jiang Siming perfectly timed a question, "Does Bishite get extra points too?"


    Xiao Zhu played along immediately, transforming into Zhu Bishite and coquettishly asking the director if he could get extra points.


    The director rejected him without hesitation.


    Yue Yunpeng laughed and said, "Xiao Zhu, you just got tricked by Jiang Siming."


    Jiang Siming instantly looked up and denied it three times in a row, "It wasn''t me, I didn''t, stop making things up."


    This made the audience burst into laughter. They thought, "This new guest is pretty good¡ªhe''s blending in quickly and even setting up his own jokes. Not bad!"


    Next, Xiao Zhu hit 450 pounds on the punching machine, surprising everyone¡ªwho knew he was so strong?


    But when Reba also punched a 410, everyone was even more shocked¡ªno doubt, she was a "super-strength girl!"


    Then, when Yue Yunpeng hit 390, the audience laughed.


    Blushing, Yue Yunpeng begged the director for another chance and then hit 391.


    "Your effort only added one pound¡ªhow heartbreaking," Jiang Siming commented.


    That made the audience laugh even harder.


    Then Wang Xun hit 500, and everyone assumed that was the highest.


    Finally, it was Jiang Siming''s turn. When he punched 1210, every single viewer in front of the TV had their jaws drop in shock.


    Even the director didn''t believe it and asked Jiang Siming to punch again¡ªthis time, he hit 1000 pounds.


    The audience suddenly realized just how strong Jiang Siming was, and many started wondering if he was a boxer.


    After the punching challenge, everyone received their respective tasks. Surprisingly, as a newcomer, Jiang Siming got the easiest task, making the audience see him in a new light.


    Everyone boarded a bus to their task locations.


    The first to get off was Xiao Yue Yue, who saw the mountain of goods he had to carry and turned to ask for help.


    "Brothers, can you¡ª"


    Before he could finish, Jiang Siming shouted, "Driver, drive now!"


    The bus immediately sped away, leaving Xiao Yue Yue behind.


    The audience burst into laughter, their faces nearly splitting from grinning.


    "Hahahaha..."


    Everyone realized that although the show had just begun, Jiang Siming''s witty remarks had already created so many hilarious moments.


    His quick thinking and ability to set up jokes were truly outstanding!


    The bus dropped off each guest at their destination until only Jiang Siming and Reba were left on board.


    Feeling bored, Reba asked Jiang Siming to tell her a joke.


    Jiang Siming asked, "How much of a ''rated'' joke can you handle?"


    Reba asked for something normal.


    Jiang Siming then asked her, "When you go to the bathroom, do you use your left hand or your right hand?"


    Blushing, Reba answered, "Right hand."


    The audience also thought, "Of course, it''s the right hand. Who wipes with their left hand? That''d be so awkward."


    But then Jiang Siming followed up, "We all use toilet paper. Why are you using your hand?"


    The audience immediately realized they''d been tricked and facepalmed in amusement.

 Chapter 345: I’m Shipping This Couple!

    Reba was both embarrassed and annoyed, unwilling to admit defeat, and asked for a more daring joke.


    Jiang Siming bluntly stated that he dreamed of her and even wet his pants.


    The audience immediately reacted with laughter, joking that it was too inappropriate, calling for a "report," and making various teasing comments.


    However, Jiang Siming''s actual explanation was that he was scared into wetting himself because he dreamed of Reba removing her makeup.


    Reba was both angry and speechless, while the audience burst into laughter.


    It had been a long time since a variety show had such an entertaining guest. Many viewers who initially planned to just watch for a bit before changing channels found themselves unable to stop.


    The show''s ratings steadily climbed, reaching 2.5. Considering that the show started at 2.0, this was a significant increase in a short time.


    That 0.5 should not be underestimated.


    Many people don''t actually understand how TV ratings are calculated.


    Ratings are determined by the number of viewers (or households) watching a particular program divided by the total audience (or total households).


    In other words, all TV market share is considered as 100%.


    Every TV station broadcasts programs day and night, all competing for a portion of these 100 points.


    As for the number of channels available? Time for some trivia.


    CCTV alone has over a dozen channels, including CCTV1 to CCTV10, as well as news, opera, children''s, music, and sports channels, totaling around twenty.


    Then there are the national satellite TV channels.


    These are stations that can be received anywhere in China, such as Hunan TV, Zhejiang TV, Jiangsu TV, Dragon TV, Beijing TV, and more¡ªover thirty in total.


    Finally, there are local and international channels, adding up to more than a hundred channels overall.


    With over a hundred channels competing for just 100 points, it''s clear that demand far exceeds supply.


    CCTV alone takes at least half, and local and international channels share another 20 points.


    That leaves just 30 points for all national satellite channels to fight over, making any increase a significant achievement.


    Currently, the highest ratings belong to Jiangsu and Hunan TV, both nearing 3.0 points.


    Hunan TV''s top show "Happy Camp" had spent a fortune inviting major celebrities.


    Meanwhile, Jiangsu TV''s "Ace vs. Ace" featured TF, a group beloved by Gen Z, alongside comedian Song Xiaobao and heartthrob Chen Weiting.


    Both networks put in great effort, so naturally, their ratings were high.


    Jiang Siming soon faced the consequences of his actions.


    Watching him struggle to eat one piece of sticky rice cake after another, the audience laughed gleefully, thinking, "Serves you right!"


    However, his puffed-up cheeks from chewing melted countless hearts, leading to a surge in his fanbase among those who adored good looks.


    After eating more than half of the rice cake, Jiang Siming decisively abandoned the task and swapped with Yue Yunpeng.


    Unexpectedly, Yue Yunpeng tricked him¡ªJiang Siming had eaten most of the rice cake for him, but Yue Yunpeng did not help him carry a single item in return.


    The audience laughed even harder, thinking this new guest might just become the show''s new unlucky fool like Sha Yi.


    With such a mountain of goods to carry, how would he manage?


    His personal trainer suggested that Jiang Siming remove his shirt, and just as he was about to do so, the post-production team flashed four giant words across the screen:


    **"WARNING! HIGH ENERGY AHEAD!"**


    Clearly, the post-production team was full of fangirls¡ªhow else would they know this was a "high-energy" moment? (Evil grin.)


    Jiang Siming, following the PT''s advice, peeled off his shirt.


    *Ssss!* Oh my god!!!


    Countless viewers across the country groaned and cursed in unison.


    Because of what they saw on screen.


    "I admit it¡ªI willingly bow down before this physique. Absolute submission!"


    "I think I can finally abandon my previous idol. Get lost, pretty boy!"


    "From today, I stan!"


    "XX, my dear bestie, bring me a new pair of underwear¡ªI just... yeah..."


    No one knew how many girls had their hearts racing, how many women lost sleep that night, or how many fujoshis went wild.


    Even hardcore gamers started feeling uneasy. They were witnessing the rise of a new ultimate fandom and could do nothing about it.


    Unfortunately, the scene didn''t last long¡ªJiang Siming quickly put on a tank top and got to work carrying goods.


    Watching him effortlessly lift two massive packages, everyone finally realized that his 1000-pound punch earlier was no joke.


    Along the way, plenty of girls tried to chat with him, proving that he definitely wasn''t relying on filters or special effects.


    While Yue Yunpeng struggled to carry even one item, Jiang Siming easily transported the entire pile.


    And he was the fastest among all the guests. While the others were still struggling to sell their goods, Jiang Siming had already completed his last order and wrapped up.


    He even managed to trick one of the "Extreme Three Elites," Xiao Zhu, in the process.


    Jiang Siming''s last delivery happened to be at Reba''s clothing store. As soon as they met, they started bickering, making quite the lively scene.


    "Why are you laughing, you annoying ghost!"


    Although Reba was ''scolding'' Jiang Siming, the audience could clearly see that she didn''t dislike him at all. In fact, it felt more like playful flirting.


    Could there really be something going on between them?


    Jiang Siming mocked Reba''s makeup, saying it was so extreme that even gods and ghosts wouldn''t recognize her. Reba countered that she never spent more than two hours on makeup.


    Jiang Siming then hit back with a golden comeback: "If it takes more than two hours, that''s not makeup¡ªthat''s renovation."


    Reba was so frustrated that she couldn''t even argue back, while the audience burst into laughter and applauded. What a brilliant line! A golden quote! Gotta write this down!


    Surprisingly, Reba even agreed to team up with Jiang Siming to sell clothes, making the audience scream that there was definitely something going on between them!


    Jiang Siming''s sales tactic was so effective that after he successfully tricked the first customer, many people watching saw a business opportunity and marveled at his genius.


    "This guy is such a crafty trickster! A sales prodigy!"


    The playful banter and interactions between the two kept the audience thoroughly entertained.


    Countless viewers expressed that they were fully shipping this couple!


    The funniest and most hilarious moment was when Jiang Siming used Reba as a shield to block water.


    The best part? After using her as a shield, he still had the audacity to ask Reba for ice cream!


    That scene nearly had everyone laughing their guts out.


    Even back at Jiang Siming''s home, the five women in his household were rolling on the sofa laughing.


    "Hahaha, Senior Brother, how could you be so bad, using a girl as a shield?"


    "Reba is so pitiful, getting splashed all over... Pfft, but it''s still so funny!"


    "I''m just wondering how this guy''s brain works. After all that, he still dares to ask her for ice cream? Giggle."


    "Daddy did great, hehe!"


    ...


    Jiang Siming scratched his head and said, "I was just doing it for the show''s effect, do you guys believe me?"


    Meanwhile, Dongfang TV''s ratings had unknowingly climbed to 3.3!


    It officially surpassed Hunan and Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV, taking the top spot!


    Everyone at Dongfang TV and the "Go Fighting" production team was thrilled and excited.


    As expected, this episode was going to be a massive hit!


    Inviting Jiang Siming was definitely a brilliant decision!

 Chapter 346: Soaring Popularity!

    The afternoon program involved a search mission, which was also full of fun. It showcased Jiang Siming''s exceptional intelligence as he quickly guessed everyone''s locations.


    In the end, Jiang Siming had Chongqing Tianxiang produce an advertisement for searching for Reba. Under the starry sky and a grand piano, Reba and Jiang Siming finally met.


    The moment Reba instinctively threw herself into Jiang Siming''s arms, countless male viewers were devastated.


    They wished they could grab a knife and chop Jiang Siming up.


    They knew it! They knew it! They knew this would happen from the very beginning!


    Beast! Let go of my goddess!


    However, the scene was undeniably beautiful and romantic... Ahem... but that''s not the point!


    The episode came to an end.


    The audience was left wanting more, eager to rewatch it.


    Everyone rushed online to wait for video updates, determined to watch it several more times!


    Tonight''s episode of *Go Fighting!* was a huge hit!


    Many viewers who had already watched it enthusiastically recommended it to their friends and family. On Tencent Video, the latest episode of *Go Fighting!* skyrocketed to the top in popularity!


    It surpassed *Ace vs. Ace* and *Back to Field*, reclaiming its dominance in outdoor variety shows.


    Jiang Siming instantly became the most beloved new guest among *Go Fighting!* fans!


    "I just finished watching the new episode, and I have to say, Jiang Siming has an incredible variety sense!"


    "Non-stop entertainment with no dull moments¡ªhe alone can carry an entire show!"


    "A new variety show genius is born! *Go Fighting!* really has a keen eye for talent!"


    "I laughed through the entire episode, no exaggeration. The last time I laughed this much was during the *Three Kingdoms War* arc in Season 2."


    "I replayed the scene where Jiang Siming used Reba as a shield twenty times¡ªit''s absolutely hilarious!"


    "Haha, this episode was amazing! The tasks were pretty standard, but the new guest added so many funny moments!"


    "Ever since Jiang Siming arrived, even Reba has become more lively on the show. She used to be a bit reserved."


    ...


    This episode of *Go Fighting!* received overwhelmingly positive reviews.


    Hardly anyone had complaints¡ªjust a flood of praise.


    Many variety show experts praised Jiang Siming for his good looks, quick reactions, sharp wit, multiple talents, and high emotional intelligence.


    With so many strengths, Jiang Siming naturally thrived in the variety show scene.


    If he knew about all this, he would definitely smirk proudly¡ªafter all, anything *Fragment* produces is bound to be top-tier!


    That *Variety Show Talent* fragment didn''t go to waste.


    *Go Fighting!* secured the top spot in ratings for Dragon TV this time, even bringing back many lost fans.


    Jiang Siming''s contribution was undeniable.


    That very night, the show''s director called Jiang Siming, telling him that he had skyrocketed to fame overnight. Many other programs were already trying to get his contact information.


    The director also asked if Jiang Siming had time to join the next episode. Jiang Siming replied that he was currently unavailable.


    The director wasn''t upset and continued to maintain a good relationship with him.


    After watching TV, it was time to wash up and go to bed.


    Tonight, Li Yingzi and Zhao Xuan weren''t planning to go home¡ªthey were staying over.


    After all, they had a three-day holiday for the Dragon Boat Festival.


    Jiang Siming was thrilled, imagining whether he could finally achieve his dream of sleeping under one big blanket with all of them tonight.


    Even if not all four, two would be fine!


    Unfortunately, the four women were too shy and quickly ran off after washing up. Zhao Xuan cuddled up with Zhao Xiaoxiao, while Li Yingzi went to sleep with Wang Xinyi.


    That left Yin Zhirou alone, weak and helpless, at Jiang Siming''s mercy.


    "Oh well, at least I still have Dada and Tuantuan. No worries!"


    Jiang Siming managed to catch one, which was satisfying enough.


    That night, in Yin Zhirou''s room, the atmosphere was filled with springtime romance.


    ...


    Two days after the Dragon Boat Festival, Jiang Siming planned to start a live stream in the evening.


    The national college entrance exams were down to their final day. He wondered how this year''s students were doing.


    Today''s exams included comprehensive subjects and English.


    By 5 PM, this year''s national college entrance exams officially ended!


    There are so many with sorrowful faces, so many with joy and excitement, and so many shedding tears of sadness.


    No matter what, this year''s senior high school students have finally completed their twelve years of compulsory education¡ªsome will enter society, while others will move on to university.


    As soon as the college entrance exam ended, the internet was filled with discussions about this year''s essay topics from different regions.


    "Dad, why is everyone only talking about the essay?" Zhao Xiaoxiao asked Jiang Siming in confusion.


    Jiang Siming smiled and said, "That''s because the essay is the only part they can understand right now."


    Pfft! Hahaha.


    The girls burst into laughter. That made so much sense¡ªit was true!


    After dinner, Jiang Siming went upstairs to work and started his livestream!


    As soon as he went live, his popularity exploded!


    In less than half an hour, the number of online viewers broke a new record, reaching 17 million!


    That was more than 2 million higher than when he received ten billion in gifts before.


    The reason was all thanks to last night''s *Extreme Challenge*.


    "Ming God is awesome! I didn''t expect you to be on *Extreme Challenge*!"


    "Ming God, you''re now being called a variety show genius. How do you feel about that?"


    "*Extreme Challenge* fans are here! Jiang Siming, I love you! Will you be in the next episode?"


    "I came here from *Extreme Challenge*! Jiang Siming, I''m only a fan of you now! Yingyingying~"


    "Jiang Siming, are you dating Reba? We support you!"


    "I came here just to admire your face! Last night''s episode made me wet¡ªtake responsibility!"


    "Jiang Siming, why aren''t you showing your face? You''re so handsome; it''s a waste not to show it! No face, bad review! Unfollowed!"


    ...


    The chat was flooded with viewers from *Extreme Challenge* and a massive wave of fans who were there for his looks.


    The gaming fans were on the verge of tears. They knew this would happen¡ªsoon, they wouldn''t be the dominant group in the chat anymore...


    The veteran face fans scoffed. Did these people really think they could just demand to see Ming God''s face? Have some self-awareness!


    Jiang Siming hadn''t expected his popularity to skyrocket again. While feeling happy, he told everyone:


    "My streams are mostly about gaming. I rarely show my face. Watch if you want, or don''t."


    Legendary!


    The crowd gave a thumbs-up. Ming God was just that cool! He had that unbothered energy!


    Strangely, instead of losing viewers, his numbers went up even more. The audience loved it when Jiang Siming dissed them¡ªhow frustrating!


    "Alright, I won''t be answering any questions about the show. Today is gaming time."


    With that, Jiang Siming started logging into Steam.


    Just as he was about to enter his account details, his phone rang¡ªa new message on WeChat.


    Jiang Siming picked it up and saw that it was from Reba.


    "My computer is all set up now. I have a day off today. Can you carry me in a game, master~ (puppy eyes) (puppy eyes)"


    On the other end, Reba was sitting at her desk at home, kicking her legs nervously as she stared at her phone, feeling like she had been waiting for a century for his reply.


    For the past few days, Reba''s mind had been filled with thoughts of Jiang Siming¡ªthinking of him while eating, while working, and even while sleeping.


    Even she didn''t realize that she had already fallen into the whirlpool of love, stepping into the little trap of romance, willingly embracing the sweet torment of longing.

 Chapter 347: Duo Queue with Reba!

    How could Jiang Siming refuse when Reba asked to team up?


    "Sure, join YY," Jiang Siming sent her a voice message.


    "What is YY?" Reba asked hesitantly.


    Jiang Siming laughed¡ªwhat a computer newbie.


    "Then forget YY, QQ chat works too. Anyway, YY is a rogue software that drives newbies crazy with all its junk bindings."


    Jiang Siming bluntly criticized YY during his live stream, not at all worried about any trouble from the YY officials.


    And it was true. Five years ago, YY was a clean software, purely for voice chatting, very convenient.


    Now, downloading YY came with a bunch of bundled rogue software, a game lobby, and frequent pop-up ads, which was extremely annoying.


    The audience agreed while also growing curious¡ªwho was Jiang Siming about to voice chat with?


    "Everyone, I have good news! Today, I''m honored to have Reba join me for duo gaming!"


    Jiang Siming''s words were like an atomic bomb dropped on the live chat.


    What?! Reba is going to play games with Jiang Siming?!


    Damn! And people still say there''s nothing going on between them?


    This is solid proof of their ''secret relationship''!


    On the show, they had gone from strangers to familiar acquaintances, then to subtle flirting. The audience had already sensed something, though they couldn''t say for sure that Jiang Siming liked Reba.


    However, they could definitely tell that Reba had fallen for Jiang Siming.


    And now, it was confirmed¡ªthey were even gaming together outside the show. Who would believe there was nothing between them?!


    "Ahhhh! My Reba! My goddess!"


    "This is 100% a CP moment!"


    "Reba, stay away from my husband! Ming Shen belongs to our wives'' club!"


    "The most frustrating part is that Reba was the one who initiated contact. Where''s the justice?!"


    "Ming Shen, please teach us how to woo girls!"


    As word spread, Jiang Siming''s live viewers skyrocketed again.


    The "Jiang-Reba CP" gained a massive following overnight.


    Just yesterday, the show aired, and today, the two of them were gaming together. The buzz was endless!


    Jiang Siming didn''t care about the gossip and successfully connected with Reba on QQ.


    "Silly girl, hurry up and log in," Jiang Siming teased as soon as he spoke.


    "Why are you calling me silly?" Reba pouted.


    "If you weren''t, would you even try to argue? Do you still want me to carry you to victory?" Jiang Siming laughed.


    "Hmph! I, Dilraba Dilmurat, admit I''m silly!" Reba dramatically surrendered like a scene from Wang Jingze''s meme.


    "That''s more like it, silly girl."


    "Eh~"


    "Silly girl?"


    "Why do you keep calling me that?"


    Hahaha...


    The two of them laughed, and the live audience found it even more hilarious.


    How do these two make everything so entertaining? Even the single viewers were enjoying it immensely.


    Breaking news: Jiang Siming calls Reba "silly girl"¡ªtoo sweet to handle!


    "How do you have time to play games today? No new episode recording for Go Fighting?" Jiang Siming casually asked while waiting for her to log in.


    "Finished recording! But it wasn''t as fun without you. The new guy, Sha Yi, is so clueless¡ªeven Yue Yunpeng can bully him. Oops, did I just spoil something..."


    Reba suddenly realized that Jiang Siming was live streaming.


    "It''s fine. If the director dares to scold you, just tell me¡ªI''ll back you up," Jiang Siming said, sounding like a protective husband.


    Hearing this, Reba''s eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled sweetly at her computer desk. She obediently responded with a soft "Mhm."


    Reba logged into the game, and Jiang Siming invited her to the lobby.


    Reba''s in-game character was a dark-skinned girl with an afro, but she was wearing Jiang Siming''s MVP outfit, making her look a little comical.


    "Looks like real goddesses don''t need in-game beauty to decorate themselves. They''re already tired of looking at their own face, so they go for a drastic change in the game?"


    Jiang Siming teased, making Reba''s heart flutter with his smooth talk. She smiled even more brightly.


    "Jiang Siming, stealing wives is an unforgivable crime!"


    "Ming Shen flirts seriously¡ªtake notes!"


    "Writing this down! I''ll use this line when I play games with girls."


    "Jiang-Reba CP, let''s go!"


    "Jiang-Dumb CP, fight me!"


    "The Jiang Fan Club rises!"


    Jiang Siming glanced at Reba''s stats¡ª925 points, KD: 0.2.


    Wow, even worse than Tuan Tuan!


    The two clicked ready and entered the game lobby.


    "My skills are average, you have to carry me well," Reba said with a grin.


    Jiang Siming mercilessly exposed her: "Yours isn''t called average, it''s called average-average-average-average-average..."


    "Ugh! Just wait until I get a gun and shoot you!"


    Reba, fuming, walked up to Jiang Siming and pounded his chest with her little fists.


    Jiang Siming took a moment to glance at the other players in the lobby but didn''t see any golden-rank players.


    The plane took off, and this round was on the Sanhok map.


    Jiang Siming was about to mark a landing spot when he noticed a red glow at the Salt Fields in the upper right corner of the map.


    He was pleasantly surprised¡ªhe hadn''t expected such a lucky start in his first match playing with Reba. Not bad.


    "Let''s go here. Do you know how to deploy your parachute?"


    "Hmph! You''re underestimating me! I''ve played for more than fifty hours, you know! I''m a veteran player!" Reba said proudly.


    Jiang Siming chuckled. If fifty hours made someone a veteran, then players with over a thousand hours should be called ancestor players.


    The two flew towards the Salt Fields, and Reba''s parachute was orange.


    "You''re not good at the game, but your skins are top-tier," Jiang Siming teased.


    "I matched my outfit with yours, okay? Look, my orange parachute goes so well with your clothes. Doesn''t it look beautiful?" Reba retorted.


    "Alright, alright. There are others landing here too. Let me deal with them first."


    "Huh? Then I''ll fly a bit farther away!"


    Hearing that there were enemies nearby, Reba quickly adjusted her parachute to land farther away.


    Jiang Siming, however, had already landed, picked up a QBZ, loaded his bullets, and fired two bursts. The enemy squad was eliminated mid-air before they even touched the ground.


    "Where are they? I''ll come help!"


    Reba had just landed, picked up an SMG, and was ready to assist Jiang Siming.


    Previously, when she played this game, Chen He, Lin Gengxin, and Jia Ling were her teammates. They always needed help when encountering enemies.


    So Reba developed the habit of rushing to support as soon as she found a gun.


    But by the time she arrived, Jiang Siming had already finished the fight.


    "They''re dead already. Go loot."


    "Oh... oh."


    Reba stood there, dumbfounded, completely unaware of when Jiang Siming had taken them out.


    Jiang Siming then walked over and picked up the glowing red fragment.


    "Picked up [Universal Vehicle Driver''s License] Red Fragment *1 (1/2). Fragment count incomplete, cannot use yet."


    This Universal Vehicle Driver''s License included A1, A2, B1, B2, and various other vehicle categories.


    It also granted the skills to drive all these vehicles.


    Jiang Siming thought this skill was quite useful. Now he could even drive buses and heavy trucks.


    Skipping the process of taking tests for each license was a nice perk. Plus, it only required two fragments. Definitely worth it!

 Chapter 348: The One Who Dares to Hit Me!

    Jiang Siming picked up the fragment and continued searching for supplies in Yantian with Reba.


    Because there were too many trees in Yantian, Reba lost track of where she was while looting.


    If not for the team marker, she wouldn''t have even been able to find Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming had no choice but to help her search.


    "Do you want a level-three vest?"


    "Yes~"


    "How about a level-three backpack?"


    "Yes~"


    "There''s also a sniper rifle here."


    "Yes~"


    Reba followed behind Jiang Siming like a little tail, giggling foolishly.


    When she played with Chen He and the others, they often complained she was too bad at the game and rarely took care of her.


    But Jiang Siming wasn''t like that¡ªboyfriends really are the best~


    Boyfriend... Ah, so embarrassing~


    Thinking about it, Reba''s face turned red, and even her responses to Jiang Siming became noticeably weaker.


    The safe zone in the small map shrank quickly. Just as Jiang Siming finished helping Reba gather gear, the blue zone arrived.


    "Let''s go, time to run from the zone."


    Jiang Siming found a tuk-tuk near Yantian.


    Before he even had to tell her, Reba had already climbed into the back seat herself.


    Jiang Siming then drove off, carrying this "pig" toward the safe zone.


    Not long after they set off, two figures suddenly appeared from the resort and started spraying bullets at their vehicle.


    Reba, sitting behind Jiang Siming, took two bullets and screamed in fright.


    Jiang Siming calmly adjusted the steering and started weaving the car in an S-shape, causing the following shots to miss.


    He then parked behind cover.


    "Aren''t we supposed to get to the safe zone before fighting?" Reba asked nervously while quickly bandaging herself.


    "No worries, heal up first. Let''s deal with these two before moving on. They dared to shoot at me, so I''ll show them why the flowers are so red."


    Reba''s face instantly turned bright red.


    Jiang Siming''s words were way too suggestive, and the chat was already going wild.


    Tina, this is outrageous! These two are blatantly showing off their relationship!


    Jiang Siming stepped out from cover. The enemies at the resort were already flanking from both sides.


    One of them was even cooking a grenade, counting down before throwing it at Jiang Siming¡ªclearly, they knew what they were doing.


    Unfortunately, Jiang Siming hadn''t found a frying pan yet, or he could have shown off some tricks.


    But no frying pan? No problem. He still had his gun.


    A Kar98k with his exclusive skin¡ªa crimson and silver sniper rifle, engraved with his motto and name.


    Jiang Siming raised the sniper, pulled the trigger, and a bullet shot out as if pre-locked by aimbot, piercing straight into the enemy''s forehead.


    The player collapsed, and to make it even more awkward, he never managed to throw the grenade¡ªit exploded in his arms, finishing himself off.


    Seeing this, his teammate furiously opened fire at Jiang Siming, trying to avenge him.


    Jiang Siming didn''t even bother switching weapons. He simply sidestepped a couple of times, waited for the Kar98k to reload, and then sent another "peanut" his way.


    Two more kills secured. And to his surprise, a golden glow appeared.


    Jiang Siming was delighted. He hadn''t expected his luck to be this good¡ªonly four kills in, and he already got a fragment. And these were just random players, not even the golden shadow ones.


    "Are they dead? I''m going to loot!"


    Seeing that Jiang Siming had wiped them out, Reba excitedly rushed toward the loot boxes.


    It''s true¡ªthe worse a player is, the more eager they are to loot...


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Still busy looting, Reba was suddenly attacked by two shots¡ªone from an SKS, the other from a QBU.


    The shots hit before she could even react, knocking her down instantly.


    "Ugh... I should''ve known not to loot for so long..." Reba muttered, thinking she was doomed.


    Just as she was about to be finished off, Jiang Siming happened to be nearby. He quickly raised his 98k, locked onto the enemy''s firing position, and landed an instant sniper shot.


    After knocking down that player, Reba had already taken two bullets¡ªone or two more, and she would be done for.


    Without a second thought, Jiang Siming stepped in front of Reba and used his body to block the incoming bullets for her.


    Bang! Bang!


    The bullets struck Jiang Siming, with one even hitting his head, yet he didn''t dodge at all.


    He waited until his 98k was reloaded, then fired another shot, successfully taking down the enemy and saving Reba''s life.


    However, Jiang Siming''s health was now critically low, and he was still taking damage from the electric zone. If he didn''t heal soon, he would also die.


    But Reba''s health was even lower. Without any hesitation, Jiang Siming prioritized reviving her.


    "Don''t revive me, just heal yourself first," Reba was deeply moved.


    Jiang Siming had shielded her from bullets and now prioritized reviving her¡ªcompletely unlike the way he used her as a shield in the variety show.


    "It''s fine. If I go down, you can just revive me later. I promised to carry you to a chicken dinner, so I can''t let you spectate the whole match. Otherwise, how would I ever carry girls in the future?"


    The act itself was touching, but the words... something felt off.


    Jiang Siming successfully revived Reba, but he himself was knocked out by the electric zone.


    "Heal first, or we''ll both die."


    "Oh, okay."


    Reba quickly used a medkit on herself and then revived Jiang Siming.


    Both of them were back in action, though Jiang Siming had sacrificed his "first time"... his first knockdown.


    Not that it mattered to him.


    While he was healing, Reba had already picked up a massive pile of medical supplies for him¡ªenough to cover the ground.


    "What are you doing? Planning to open a pharmacy?" Jiang Siming asked, amused.


    "I''m giving you meds! You saved me, so I have to thank you somehow," Reba replied matter-of-factly.


    Jiang Siming smirked mischievously, "Normally, when a girl wants to thank someone for saving her life, she offers herself. Giving meds... what kind of thank-you is that?"


    Reba froze for a second, then blushed and playfully punched Jiang Siming with her little fist¡ªactually knocking a sliver of his health off¡ªbefore turning and running away.


    "Oooh~"


    The audience erupted in wolf-like howls.


    "Shameless! Trying to defile my goddess! Dream on!"


    "Report! Ming God is publicly flirting! We have evidence!"


    "This isn''t even a hint anymore; it''s outright obvious!"


    "Why do I feel like Reba hit him out of embarrassment, not anger?"


    "Ming God, your face is way too thick! Reba, good job! Beat this shameless guy to death!"


    ...


    Jiang Siming wasn''t in a hurry as he watched Reba run off. He first picked up the loot.


    **"Acquired [Wanda Theme Park] golden fragment *1 (6/8). Not enough fragments to use yet."**


    Nice! Another one down, only two to go.


    After collecting the fragment, Jiang Siming restarted the vehicle. Reba was already in the passenger seat, staring out the window, pretending nothing had happened.


    Before long, the two started chatting again.


    Male viewers felt utterly hopeless. At this rate, Reba falling for him was only a matter of time.


    The car sped out of the danger zone and into the safe zone.


    Just as they exited the electric zone, Jiang Siming spotted a red silhouette with a **head covering** about a thousand meters to his left.


    He immediately turned the car toward that direction and drove straight for it.

 Chapter 349: You All Have to Call Me Daddy

    "This map''s scenery is really beautiful," Reba sighed.


    As a purely casual player, she couldn''t kill anyone, but she could certainly appreciate everything else.


    Jiang Siming smiled and said, "Just wait until the Huaxia map is released¡ªit''ll definitely be even more stunning. How could our motherland''s breathtaking landscapes lose to a tiny Thailand?"


    "That''s true! Then wouldn''t all the Huaxia players have to thank you? This is a benefit you fought for them!"


    "Of course. When the time comes, they''ll all have to call me daddy," Jiang Siming joked, making the viewers laugh and call him delusional.


    The car drove toward the red silhouette, and sure enough, as soon as they got close, they were fired upon.


    Already prepared, Jiang Siming didn''t even bother getting out of the car. He switched seats mid-drive to the back of the pickup truck, and his QBZ spat bullets like a flamethrower, shredding the enemy into pieces.


    The enemy turned out to be a lone wolf with no teammates left.


    After finishing him off, Jiang Siming said to Reba, "Go pick up his level-three helmet."


    Hearing this, Reba happily ran over and picked up the helmet, then said something both pitiful and amusing.


    "I''ve never worn a level-three helmet before... So this is what it looks like. It''s really nice."


    Fifty-plus hours of gameplay and not once had she worn a level-three helmet¡ªwhat a tragedy...


    Jiang Siming was about to tease her when a sharp signal gunshot echoed in the sky.


    Someone actually found a signal gun?


    It was easy to find early on, but later, the developers reduced its spawn rate significantly. Now, it was rare to see anyone fire one in a match.


    Since it was such a rare sight, Jiang Siming didn''t hesitate to make his move.


    "Wow! There are fireworks in this game? So pretty~"


    Jiang Siming was already in the car, but Reba was still staring up at the signal flare, mistaking it for fireworks.


    Jiang Siming nearly lost control of the steering wheel and almost ran her over...


    "You dummy, get in the car! That''s a signal flare, not fireworks!" he shouted at her.


    Reba pouted, wanting to talk back, but in the end, she obediently got in.


    Their car soon ran out of gas, but luckily, they found a motorcycle by the roadside.


    "Let''s not take this one... I''ve crashed to death so many times before..." Reba had trauma from motorcycles.


    It was the nightmare of many newbies¡ªalmost every player had died at least once because of a motorcycle.


    "Don''t worry. I guarantee you''ll be fine. If anything happens, I''ll give you a kiss. If nothing happens, you kiss me."


    "Pfft!"


    Reba spat in disbelief. No matter what, this scoundrel was getting the advantage!


    Still, she got on without hesitation, wrapping her arms around Jiang Siming''s waist. Even in a game, she felt a strange sense of security.


    But... that feeling didn''t last when Jiang Siming started the bike.


    "S-slow down... ahhh!"


    Jiang Siming''s reckless driving skills sent them flying over steep slopes and tearing through dense jungles.


    Reba felt completely out of control, every moment expecting to relive her past motorcycle accidents.


    Yet, every time, Jiang Siming skillfully avoided disaster. His driving was like a stunt performance¡ªdefying gravity, soaring through the air, and landing flawlessly.


    After a few screams, Reba gradually got used to the speed and adrenaline. She even started enjoying the thrill.


    Jiang Siming finally arrived at the signal flare''s location, where an intense battle was already raging.


    Four or five squads were tangled in a chaotic firefight.


    Jiang Siming let out a hearty laugh.


    I just love signal flares¡ªthey can summon many squads of players to fight over them at any time.


    Hearing gunfire from all directions, Reba was so scared that she quickly lay down behind a tree.


    This kind of scene terrified her; the gunshots sounded just like firecrackers going off during Chinese New Year.


    "What... do we do..." Reba asked Jiang Siming helplessly. If he weren''t beside her, with her timid nature, she would have already turned tail and run.


    "I''ll go take a few heads. You stay here and don''t move."


    Jiang Siming responded casually. Reba found his words strangely familiar, like some joke about taking advantage of someone...


    But she couldn''t quite remember where she''d heard it before.


    Jiang Siming didn''t care what Reba was thinking. He had already found the perfect position and activated ¡¾Fire Eyes Golden Gaze¡¿!


    Looking around, he could see every enemy wherever there were gunshots.


    Shouldering his 98k, he was just about to shoot one of them when ¡¾Danger Perception¡¿ suddenly activated!


    Someone had spotted him and was aiming at him.


    Jiang Siming calmly took two steps back, then turned and aimed his 98k in the direction of the ambusher.


    Through the 4x scope, the enemy''s figure was fully revealed¡ªa tiny silhouette in a ghillie suit lying in the grass, aiming right at Jiang Siming''s head.


    Jiang Siming didn''t hesitate; his shooting speed was several times faster than the enemy''s. He pulled the trigger.


    The opponent didn''t have a red glow, which meant they weren''t wearing a level-3 helmet or armor¡ªperhaps they had only picked up a ghillie suit, or their previous gear had already been damaged.


    Jiang Siming''s shot hit its mark. The enemy, lying in the grass, never stood up again¡ªdead on the spot.


    The audience was baffled, their chat flooded with question marks.


    Were they blind? How had Jiang Siming spotted that guy? They hadn''t seen any traces at all!


    After eliminating the enemy, Jiang Siming saw that their loot box was glowing red¡ªa rare item drop!


    But he didn''t have time to loot it yet. He left it there for now; it wouldn''t disappear anyway.


    His 98k searched for new targets, sweeping from one end of the battlefield to the other.


    The sniper rifle in his hands fired five times in succession, emptying the magazine.


    At the same time, five lives were taken.


    One bullet, one headshot.


    Jiang Siming''s sniper accuracy was 100%. His "Sniper God" title was well deserved.


    Many viewers didn''t care for assault rifles; they just loved watching a powerful sniper take down enemies in a single shot.


    The thrill of ending someone''s life with just one bullet was simply too satisfying.


    Especially when it was Jiang Siming''s sniper rifle¡ªhis godlike precision made it a common sight. If you blinked, you might miss an incredible moment.


    Reba was still lying on the ground, gazing at Jiang Siming with admiration, her beautiful eyes sparkling like little stars.


    No wonder he was the man she liked¡ªhe was exceptional in every way~


    "I''ve almost cleared them out. Do you want to try taking down a couple yourself?"


    Jiang Siming had taken care of most of the enemies. Only two lone survivors remained, both severely wounded¡ªjust a couple of extra shots would finish them off.


    Hearing this, Reba boldly stepped out from behind the tree.


    Now that she knew Jiang Siming was so powerful, she wasn''t as scared anymore.


    For the first time in this game, she felt completely safe.


    As long as Jiang Siming was there, even if a hundred enemies surrounded them, she felt like they wouldn''t die.


    Reba tried firing her gun.


    "Raise your crosshair a bit. At this distance, you need to compensate slightly¡ªabout half a centimeter up."


    "Don''t let your hands shake. Take it slow, one shot at a time. Don''t be nervous."


    Under Jiang Siming''s "guidance," Reba actually managed to secure both kills!


    She was so excited that she started flailing her arms, nearly breaking her keyboard.


    As a result, her in-game character''s movements became bizarre¡ªcrouching, standing, lying down, making random gestures...


    Jiang Siming got a little nervous and quickly moved away from her, afraid of getting accidentally shot.

 Chapter 350: "Goodbye"

    This round dropped a total of two fragments, two red fragments¡ªone was [Driver''s License], and the other was [Upper-Class Etiquette].


    Both skills were still missing one piece each.


    However, the good luck ended there. Jiang Siming continued carrying Reba to victory, but he didn''t get any more fragments.


    They played a few more matches afterward, and in the end, only [Upper-Class Etiquette] was completed.


    Jiang Siming heard Reba yawning.


    "Are you sleepy?"


    "Huh? No, I''m not."


    Reba quickly denied it. She was actually very sleepy but wanted to play with Jiang Siming a little longer.


    Seeing this, Jiang Siming said, "Go to sleep. I''m logging off too. We''ll play next time, be good."


    Reba reluctantly agreed. After chatting with Jiang Siming for a bit more, she finally went to sleep.


    Jiang Siming wasn''t joking either¡ªhe ended the night''s game livestream and prepared to log off.


    "Sing a song! Sing a song!"


    "Ming God, it''s been a long time since you sang at the end of a stream."


    "You sneaky dog, trying to leave again! We won''t allow it!"


    "Sing a song, Ming God! I just finished my college entrance exam today, and I have to say goodbye to my classmates. It''s so sad."


    "I also just finished my college entrance exam. I''m at KTV with my friends right now, and I want to sing a farewell song for them, but I can''t find a good one... (crying)"


    ...


    Jiang Siming didn''t pay much attention to the earlier comments, but the later ones caught his eye.


    Oh right, it''s almost graduation season.


    With the college entrance exams ending today, not only were high school seniors graduating, but middle school seniors would be graduating soon as well, and university seniors were about to face employment.


    Every graduation season was the most sentimental time for young people. Not having a suitable song to express their feelings seemed a little too pitiful.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Siming said nothing and picked up the guitar next to him, turning on his camera.


    The audience immediately got excited¡ªMing God was finally being "obedient" for once!


    "With the college entrance exams over, graduation season is here. I don''t have much to give to all the students who are graduating, so here''s a song for you¡ª''Goodbye.''"


    The audience was surprised. "Goodbye"? Was it G.E.M.''s *Goodbye*?


    That song was about love and separation in life and death. It didn''t seem to fit the graduation season.


    Lying in bed after turning off her computer, Reba suddenly missed that man again. Curious about whether he had ended the stream, she took out her phone and opened the livestream.


    And what she saw...


    "That jerk! He''s singing and didn''t call me to listen, hmph!"


    Reba muttered, but her body acted honestly¡ªshe quickly found her earphones, put them on, adjusted into a comfortable sleeping position, and happily waited for Jiang Siming to sing.


    This was the first time she would hear Jiang Siming sing live on his stream. She had only ever listened to him on music platforms before.


    In the livestream, Jiang Siming was sitting in his chair, seriously tuning his guitar.


    This serious look was rare on him.


    But it was truly captivating¡ªseeing a focused Jiang Siming made a girl''s heart race even more.


    As she watched, Reba suddenly remembered how he had forcefully kissed her outside the hotel, stealing her first kiss.


    Her whole body heated up, and she couldn''t help but pull the blanket over her head. A moment later, she peeked out again, afraid of missing the start.


    After finishing his tuning, Jiang Siming started playing.


    Suddenly, an energetic guitar melody rang out, catching everyone off guard.


    Wasn''t this supposed to be G.E.M.''s *Goodbye*? Why had they never heard this melody before?


    And wasn''t this supposed to be for graduation season? Why was he playing such an upbeat tune?


    But the melody was incredibly catchy. Just one listen, and everyone had already memorized the rhythm.


    "I''m afraid I won''t have the chance


    To say goodbye to you


    Because maybe


    I will never see you again..."


    The lively melody took a sharp turn the moment Jiang Siming started singing, making everyone feel like they were on an emotional rollercoaster.


    One second, they were cheerful; the next, they were overwhelmed with sorrow.


    Yet, Jiang Siming didn''t deliberately lower his voice or force a raspy, emotional tone.


    He simply followed the rhythm of the song, but it gave the audience a completely different feeling.


    From the very first note¡ªinstant heartbreak.


    From the very first word¡ªinstant sorrow.


    They thought it was an upbeat song, but the first line alone made many people feel heavy-hearted.


    I''m afraid time will pass too quickly, afraid that life will be too busy, so busy that I won''t even have time to say goodbye to you. And maybe this goodbye means never seeing you again...


    **"Tomorrow I will leave,


    This familiar place and you,


    We must part,


    And my tears will fall..."**


    Upon hearing this, many high school seniors watching the stream started crying.


    Just two lines of lyrics were enough to make these students, who were about to part ways with their classmates, break down in tears.


    For the first time, they were about to separate from their friends. In two months, they would be heading to different cities, starting new lives, meeting new classmates and friends.


    They might see each other again in the future, but those meetings would become fewer and fewer, as their three years together had already been spent...


    In fact, college seniors felt it even more deeply. Their graduation meant it was truly difficult to meet again in this lifetime.


    University roommates and classmates came from all over the country.


    After graduation, there were only two chances to meet again: one was when the other person got married, and the other was when you got married...


    Even many adults couldn''t help but feel emotional. This song resonated with an even broader audience than *Old Boy*.


    *Old Boy* was more suited for those with some life experience, but this song could be understood even by young people who were just starting to understand the world.


    **"I will always remember your face,


    I will cherish the memories you gave me,


    These days will never fade from my heart,


    I can''t promise you,


    Whether I will come back again,


    Without looking back,


    I will walk forward..."**


    The chorus melody remained unchanged, just like the intro. Even Jiang Siming''s voice didn''t rise much.


    Yet, it completely struck everyone''s heart. There is an emotion called farewell, a feeling called sorrow.


    At this moment, Jiang Siming''s song left countless viewers heartbroken.


    Sung during graduation season, this song was powerful enough to bring tears to everyone''s eyes.


    With its minimalist melody and just one short verse, it evoked emotions far more deeply than songs with extravagant lyrics and vocal acrobatics.


    After hearing it just once, everyone could already hum along.


    This legendary song, *Goodbye* by Zhang Zhenyue, did not exist in this world. Jiang Siming felt that if he didn''t bring it out, it would be a waste of such a beautiful piece.


    Yue Pengfei was a senior high school student in Xiamen who had just finished his college entrance exams today. He and his classmates had been extremely excited.


    Earlier, they had even torn up their textbooks together with thousands of other seniors at school, releasing their stress and celebrating their escape from this "sea of suffering."


    That evening, Yue Pengfei had dinner with his entire class. At the table, they were all smiles, laughing loudly and without restraint.


    After dinner, some classmates went to karaoke, some went to the internet cafe? to play games, while Yue Pengfei and his closest friends decided to take a walk, chatting as they strolled.


    Among them were a few female classmates, including one whom Yue Pengfei had secretly been in love with¡ªRu Hua.

 Chapter 351: Take Care

    When Yue Pengfei and his friends walked to the beach they used to pass by on their way to and from school.


    They chose to sit in front of the beach, feeling the sea breeze and chatting freely about their future plans.


    Some talked about applying to their dream universities, some planned to apply to prestigious universities in Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, while others, disappointed with their results, said they wanted to retake the exams.


    Everyone had their own thoughts and plans.


    "Pengfei, you have the best grades. Which school are you planning to apply to?" his classmates asked Yue Pengfei.


    Yue Pengfei lowered his head and said, "My parents plan to send me abroad for studies."


    "No way! So jealous! That means you''ll definitely have a bright future."


    "Studying abroad, huh? I''ve dreamed about it, but my grades are too bad."


    "Don''t forget about us when you make it big, haha."


    Only the girl he secretly liked, Ru Hua, asked, "Pengfei, if you go abroad, will you still be able to come back often?"


    Yue Pengfei gave a bitter smile and said, "My parents are moving with me to settle in Singapore. In the future... I probably won''t have many chances to return."


    As soon as he said that, everyone fell silent.


    Yue Pengfei wanted to say something, but no words came out.


    Just then, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang. It was a message from an online friend he had met while watching live streams on Douyu whenever he got bored of studying.


    The message told him that Jiang Siming was about to sing.


    Yue Pengfei usually enjoyed listening to Jiang Siming''s songs, which even made studying feel more motivating.


    He hadn''t planned to watch the stream at this moment, but after thinking about it, he clicked on it just in time for the song to begin.


    He intended to keep the volume low and listen by himself, but Ru Hua, sitting beside him, heard it and asked, "Is that Jiang Siming''s voice? Put it on speaker, I love his songs too."


    Hearing this, Yue Pengfei turned the volume up to the maximum.


    A group of just-turned-eighteen-year-olds sat on the beach, where only the sound of waves could be heard, listening to Jiang Siming''s singing from the phone.


    The more they listened, the heavier their hearts became.


    The first to lose control was a girl¡ªshe cried.


    Then, like an infection, the emotions spread. More and more girls started crying, including Yue Pengfei''s crush, Ru Hua.


    Even many of the boys couldn''t help but wipe away their tears.


    Just three minutes ago, they had been passionately discussing their future goals and dreams.


    But now, their excitement had turned to ashes.


    All that remained was the song, amplifying their feelings of farewell, growing until they all realized¡ª


    They were about to part ways with the classmates they held dearest.


    Tears welling up, Yue Pengfei turned to look at each of his friends sitting beside him.


    Among them was the one who used to tap him on the back and run away, the one who always hid their own homework, the one who kept watch for teachers while he goofed around.


    There was the one who helped him draw all over the blackboard, the one who supported him after a long-distance race, the one who lent him a shoulder when he was feeling down.


    There was the one he could talk to endlessly every day.


    And there was the one... he had secretly loved all along.


    Now, they were all going their separate ways.


    A few exam papers had scattered them apart.


    And with them, scattered three years of their youth.


    The teachers always said that three years of high school would pass in the blink of an eye.


    None of them had taken it seriously.


    But they never expected those three years to truly feel like a fleeting moment.


    Thinking back to when they first stepped into high school, it felt like just yesterday.


    And now, they were about to say goodbye¡ª


    To the more than a thousand days and nights they had spent studying, laughing, and crying together.


    The summer classrooms where they sweated together, the school playground where they did morning exercises¡ªall of these were gradually fading from their lives.


    It wasn''t until it was already late at night that many of their parents started calling, urging them to go home.


    Only then did they have no choice but to say goodbye and leave. But the carefree happiness from before was gone, leaving only loss and reluctance.


    Yue Pengfei also had to go home. Just then, Ru Hua, who was sitting beside him, suddenly spoke.


    "Pengfei, after these three years of high school, is there anything you want to say to me?"


    Yue Pengfei was stunned. He remained silent for a long time before finally clenching his fists and saying, "Take care."


    In Yue Pengfei''s heart, he knew he was about to go abroad, and he might not even have the chance to return once a year.


    He liked Ru Hua, but he didn''t want to hold her back.


    Ru Hua froze for two seconds, then forced a smile and replied, "Take care."


    Just like that, two young and naive hearts turned away from each other, disappearing into the dim light of the streetlamps by the seaside, drifting farther and farther apart until even their shadows were gone.


    Only the sound of the endless waves remained, washing over the shore again and again, as if trying to cleanse away everything that had happened here...


    Jiang Siming''s song, just like *Old Boy*, had unknowingly brought countless people to tears that night.


    The next day, when Jiang Siming recorded the song and uploaded it to major music platforms¡ª


    It skyrocketed to second place on the music charts with unstoppable momentum.


    Only *Old Boy* remained far ahead in first place, with *Goodbye* following closely behind. In terms of reputation and popularity, it was just as strong as *Old Boy*.


    Coinciding with graduation season, the song''s rise was even faster than *Old Boy''s*.


    Countless high school seniors, middle school graduates, and college seniors resonated deeply with the song, shedding tears as they listened.


    In schools everywhere, the song was played and shared.


    By the time middle school students graduated, they would probably be able to sing it as a full-class chorus...


    Once again, Jiang Siming had proven his strength as a rising online singer, earning renewed recognition from the Chinese music industry!


    At the production team of *I Am a Singer*¡ª


    "For the next episode, I think we should invite him as a challenger. Director, don''t hesitate," the deputy director said to Hong Tao, the chief director.


    Hong Tao thought for a moment, still uncertain. "I''m worried that an internet singer might freeze up on stage and underperform. If that happens, our show will become a joke."


    "No way. This guy isn''t just anyone¡ªhe''s the new chairman of Huayi, and he just participated in *Go Fighting!* with great reviews. Don''t be fooled by his age¡ªhis experience might not be any less than ours. He can definitely handle it," the deputy director argued.


    Hong Tao found the reasoning convincing but still hesitated. "But will he accept our invitation? And our show''s audience is mostly older¡ªwill they be able to accept him?"


    "How will we know if we don''t try? We''ll invite him as a guest challenger. If he''s not suitable, he won''t even last one episode. But with his current popularity, he''s definitely worth inviting. Whether he accepts or not depends on how sincere we are."


    "Alright, let''s go with him. Get in touch with him as soon as possible. As for the payment, we can offer a higher rate¡ªI''ll submit the request to the station," Hong Tao finally decided.

 Chapter 352: Has Bro Bao Been Cheated On?

    The song could go viral all it wanted¡ªJiang Siming still streamed as usual at night.


    No matter how many fans came to watch, he stuck to playing games and refused to sing.


    "Please, God Ming, sing *Goodbye* one more time! I''ll send you a million in gifts!"


    Even a wealthy fan came specifically to beg him to sing a few lines.


    Unfortunately, Jiang Siming still... *cough*¡ªactually, he decided to sing one song. After all, he was in the mood for it.


    After he finished singing, that wealthy fan really did send a million yuan worth of gifts.


    The entire chat was filled with messages saying, *"So predictable!"* directed at Jiang Siming. But he remained unfazed and explained that he just *suddenly* felt like singing.


    The viewers laughed and said, *"Yeah, right."*


    Jiang Siming ignored them and changed the subject.


    "Oh yeah, in two days, it''s the Douyu Carnival. Since my tournament hasn''t started yet, I''ll be attending."


    This successfully shifted everyone''s attention.


    "Really?! I''m booking my tickets right now!"


    "God Ming is going to the Carnival? I have to go!"


    "Let''s go, brothers, let''s snipe him!"


    "This might be your only chance to solo-kill him."


    "Are you dreaming? Didn''t you watch *Go Fighting*? God Ming''s punch is over a thousand pounds!"


    "*Wuwuwu*, hubby, you''re doing an IRL stream? I have to go find you and... ahem~"


    Jiang Siming''s face darkened. "That last comment¡ª*Fu Shao*, what the hell are you doing pretending to be a girl? Mods, give him a one-hour penalty for lying!"


    The audience burst into laughter.


    Jiang Siming returned to the main topic. "Since it''s my first time at the Carnival, I should get some advice from someone experienced. Hold on, I''ll go ask Bao Bro."


    Saying that, he switched to another stream and entered Xu Xu Bao Bao''s channel.


    At that moment, Xu Xu Bao Bao was playing *KartRider* with his viewers, a staple of his streams.


    But he rarely won¡ªhe could count his victories on one hand. Most of the time, he was completely crushed by his viewers.


    Nicknames like *Old Xu the Eighth*, *Xu, You''re So Beautiful*, *Little Sister Arrived*, and *Douyu Call-Me-Daddy King* were all "loving" titles given to him by his chat whenever he lost at *KartRider*.


    "Damn you, monkey! Why the hell did you block me?! You''re so petty! Next round, I swear I''ll destroy you!"


    Seeing himself in 8th place again, Xu Xu Bao Bao was on the verge of tears.


    In the end, he had no choice but to shout *"Daddy!"*¡ªa rule he had set himself: whoever loses has to call the winner *Daddy*. Unfortunately, he ended up saying it the most every day...


    This was the exact scene Jiang Siming walked into.


    "The moment I enter, Bao Bro calls me Daddy? What a respectful streamer," Jiang Siming joked in the chat.


    His personal account was already maxed out at level 120 and had an *Emperor* badge¡ªmostly because he had tipped other streamers like Tuan Tuan and Dai Dai as a courtesy, unintentionally reaching max level.


    Xu Xu Bao Bao immediately noticed him. Even if Jiang Siming hadn''t sent a message, he would have known¡ªbecause the entire chat had been flooded by Jiang Siming''s fans.


    "God Ming is here!"


    "God Ming''s fan army has come to establish diplomatic relations with Bao Bro!"


    "*The Second Child Warlord, Ren Yixu!*"


    "MingMingMingMingMing!"


    "With God Ming here, at least a few hundred thousand fans have arrived. Who dares to mess around?"


    ...


    "God Ming, my man, you''re walking a dangerous path. You''re taking advantage of me too much!" Xu Xu Bao Bao joked.


    Then, he grinned and said excitedly, "Welcome to my *DNF* (Dungeon & Fighter) stream, God Ming!"


    Jiang Siming wasn''t just the top streamer on Douyu¡ªhis reputation in the industry was also among the best.


    He never hired bots, never stirred up drama, and his real fans were well-behaved, rarely causing trouble in other streamers'' chats.


    Jiang Siming was friendly, generous to his fellow streamers, and never looked down on anyone, no matter how famous he got.


    That''s why, even after becoming Douyu''s #1 streamer, barely anyone in the industry was jealous of him.


    "God Ming, are you here to have me guide you into *DNF*? Come chat with me on YY." Xu Xu Bao Bao joked.


    Jiang Siming didn''t bother typing and hopped into Xu Xu Bao Bao''s YY channel.


    As soon as he entered, Xu Xu Bao Bao gave him an *Orange Horse* badge¡ªthe highest rank besides the owner.


    "Bao Bro, I''m here to ask you¡ª"


    "Wait! Let me take a moment to enjoy your beautiful voice... Ahh~ So amazing~ So magnetic~"


    Jiang Siming''s forehead twitched.


    "Alright, God Ming, go ahead. I can now control myself from getting too excited," Xu Xu Bao Bao chuckled.


    Jiang Siming then spoke: "I wanted to ask you, what exactly do you do at the Carnival? I''ve never been before, so I came to get some advice."


    "Oh, that? It''s actually pretty simple. You just go on stage to receive an award, say a few words or sing a song, and then¡ªmost importantly¡ªtreat your fans to a meal. A fan meetup dinner should do the trick," Xu Xu Bao Bao said, speaking from experience.


    He had been on Douyu for two years now and attended last year''s Carnival, which was a huge event.


    Xu Xu Bao Bao recounted how nearly 2,000 fans attended his fan meetup last year.


    With 15 people per table, he had to set up 140 tables, booking out an entire four-story hotel. That one meal alone cost him over 400,000 yuan.


    Qian Xiao Jia also hosted a fan dinner last year, advertising it as *"Anyone who comes eats for free!"*¡ªbut in the end, only about 200 fans showed up.


    The funniest part? A bold hater actually crashed the event and smashed a beer bottle over Qian Xiao Jia''s head, leaving the whole crowd in stitches.


    The best part was that Qian Xiao Jia tried to play it cool, brushing it off like it was nothing. He even said, *"I''m too famous¡ªhaving a few haters is normal."*


    As for this year''s Carnival, no one knew if he''d attend.


    After all, he was still ranked as Douyu''s second-biggest streamer, but right now, he was off in some remote forest training in solitude. Whether he could make it depended on his management company.


    Even if he did come, the second-biggest streamer on Douyu probably couldn''t afford to treat fans to a meal anymore.


    Jiang Siming now had a clear understanding of how the Carnival worked, thanks to Xu Xu Bao Bao''s explanation.


    "God Ming, if you host an outdoor fan meetup, Wuhan Jiangtan might explode from the crowd. You''d better book the biggest hotel in advance¡ªI''d guess at least 5,000 fans would show up. Without a massive venue, it''d be a disaster," Xu Xu Bao Bao reminded him.


    Jiang Siming nodded. This definitely needed some advance planning. He figured he''d have Sun Youcai handle the arrangements later¡ªhe wasn''t about to travel to Wuhan just for that.


    "Alright then, see you in Wuhan, Bao Bro."


    Just as Xu Xu Bao Bao was about to reply, a woman suddenly appeared in his stream.


    His viewers immediately recognized her¡ªit was *Xu Sao*, his wife, the one who kept him well-fed and the initiator of the *"Second Child Warning"* memes, Han Er Qian.


    "What are you doing here?" Xu Xu Bao Bao asked, looking confused.


    Before he could react, Han Er Qian snatched his microphone and excitedly shouted:


    "God Ming, I''m your fan! You *have* to come to the Wuhan Carnival! I want your autograph and a picture with you~~ Please, please~"


    Xu Xu Bao Bao''s stream instantly erupted into chaos.


    The chat was flooded with viewers spamming *"Green, green, green, green, green!"*


    For a moment, the entire screen was glowing green.

 Chapter 353: See You in Wuhan!

    Xu Sao''s sudden move had everyone laughing out loud.


    Even Xu Xu Bao Bao was speechless, covering his face in exasperation. "Can you at least be a little reserved? You don''t act like a mom at all."


    "Is that any of your business? I asked you to get me Ming God''s autograph several times, and you never did! Why can''t I ask for it myself? Just so you know, I''m going to the Carnival too, and I''ll be watching you the whole time¡ªdon''t even think about flirting with any girls!"


    Xu Sao shot back sharply, leaving Xu Xu Bao Bao completely speechless.


    The viewers, on the other hand, were laughing uncontrollably. It was clear who *really* held the power in the household...


    "Uh... Ming God, when we meet in Wuhan, can you sign an autograph and take a picture with my wife? She''s been obsessed with your songs lately, and she''s been binge-watching your streams the past couple of days," Xu Xu Bao Bao said, standing up for his wife.


    "Of course, no problem. See you in Wuhan," Jiang Siming replied with a smile before exiting Xu Xu Bao Bao''s stream and YY chat.


    If he stayed any longer, he might end up being blamed for instigating a fight between the couple.


    Back in his own stream, Jiang Siming started a poll on the Fish Bar platform.


    "For those planning to attend the Carnival, sign up here so I can get an idea of how many people to prepare for."


    As soon as the poll went up, the response was overwhelming¡ªfans flooded in like a swarm of bees, voting in droves.


    In no time, over 20,000 people had signed up.


    Jiang Siming was shocked by the number, but he knew that this was just an initial poll¡ªjust because people *wanted* to go didn''t mean they''d all actually make it.


    Still, at least a third of them seemed serious about attending.


    Many fans even posted screenshots of their newly booked flights, train tickets, and hotel reservations¡ªproving they were really coming.


    Jiang Siming did a rough count¡ªthere were already over 6,000 confirmed attendees, and the number kept climbing.


    Seeing this, he had no choice but to call Sun Youcai.


    "Is there a hotel near Wuhan Jiangtan that can accommodate over 10,000 people?" Jiang Siming''s question made Sun Youcai''s whole body tense up.


    "Over 10,000? That''s impossible. For that many people, you''d have to set up tables outdoors. There happens to be a large undeveloped open space near Jiangtan. If you want, I can contact some hotels to prepare the food and seating, but the cost will be at least a million."


    "No problem. Get it done. Make sure I get that space," Jiang Siming decided instantly.


    "You really want to plan for 10,000 people?" Sun Youcai asked again, concerned.


    If they planned for that many and fewer people showed up, Jiang Siming would be in an awkward situation.


    "Actually... never mind."


    Sun Youcai let out a relieved sigh. It seemed that Ming God wasn''t the type to waste money just for appearances.


    "Make it for 15,000 people instead."


    Sun Youcai almost choked. *Fifteen thousand?!*


    That was on the scale of a major concert¡ªmost top-tier singers barely drew that many people!


    "Are you sure?"


    "Yep, go ahead with that number. And make sure the restaurant is high-quality¡ªI want each table to cost at least 3,000 yuan."


    Fifteen thousand people meant at least 1,000 tables.


    At 3,000 yuan per table, that was a minimum of three million, not including venue costs, hotel commissions, and service fees.


    In total, this dinner alone would cost at least four million.


    Four million for a single meal.


    Sun Youcai had to admit¡ªthis level of extravagance was beyond anything he had ever seen.


    Still, he agreed to handle it and promised to make all the necessary arrangements.


    After all, Jiang Siming wasn''t just a top streamer¡ªhe was also a shareholder in Douyu.


    And Sun Youcai? He was just a department head. Technically speaking, Jiang Siming was *his* boss.


    Even if Jiang Siming weren''t a shareholder, Sun Youcai wouldn''t dare disobey him¡ªhis connections with Director Zhao ran deep.


    After making all the arrangements, Jiang Siming was finally able to relax and enjoy his game.


    However, many viewers were no longer focused on the game¡ªthey were all busy discussing the upcoming Carnival.


    "Damn, all the hotels near Jiangtan are fully booked! I checked this afternoon, and there were still plenty of rooms available. Are you guys demons?!"


    "It''s not just the hotels near Jiangtan¡ªhotels within a 20-kilometer radius are almost full! Even budget chains like Home Inn and 7 Days Inn are completely booked."


    "This year''s Jiangtan Carnival is going to be way bigger than usual. Ming Shen alone is bringing over ten thousand fans!"


    "Haha, I''m a Wuhan local. I''m renting out my homestay¡ªthree vacant rooms, 500 yuan per night. First come, first served!"


    "Bro, I''ll take one!"


    "Dude, save me a room! Send me some pictures of your place¡ªif everything looks good, I''ll pay a deposit right now."


    ...


    After playing for a few hours, Jiang Siming had terrible luck with item drops. He barely managed to collect all the fragments for the driver''s license skill and only got two useless luxury item fragments.


    Disappointed, he ended his stream.


    There was still a week left before the elimination round, which meant enduring another week of miserable drop rates.


    *Sigh~*


    Once this world tournament was over, he definitely needed to talk to Bluehole again. They should add more competitions¡ªotherwise, he''d be stuck with nothing to play.


    Not long after he ended his stream, Sun Youcai called him with an update.


    The venue rental cost 200,000 yuan.


    He had to hire three major restaurants¡ªone alone wouldn''t be enough to handle the event.


    With ingredients, processing fees, commissions, and labor costs combined, the total came to 4 million yuan.


    Without hesitation, Jiang Siming transferred the full 4 million to Sun Youcai and instructed him to ensure the gathering went smoothly.


    Sun Youcai pounded his chest in reassurance¡ªhe even checked the weather forecast to make sure there would be no rain.


    With that settled, Jiang Siming felt at ease.


    He hung up the phone and began fiddling with the huge stack of driver''s licenses in his hands.


    A1, A2, B1, B2... he had them all¡ªeven a tractor-driving license.


    As long as it wasn''t a military tank, he could now drive anything with four wheels on land.


    While the *I Am a Singer* production team hadn''t contacted him yet, the NBA had already reached out.


    As soon as the news of Cai Xukun''s ban spread, the NBA immediately cut ties with him.


    Why had they invited him in the first place? Why had they chosen someone like him?


    It obviously wasn''t because of his basketball skills.


    Expanding into the Chinese market and reaching a broader audience had always been a key priority for the NBA in China.


    Collaborating with Cai Xukun was a strategic move to boost the NBA''s popularity among young female fans.


    Male basketball fans were displeased, but since they were highly loyal to the sport, the backlash didn''t have much impact.


    In a way, this segment of fans had been "sacrificed" for the greater market.


    However, the NBA soon realized that Cai Xukun wasn''t as influential as they had thought.


    Since making him a brand ambassador, their gains were minimal, while negative feedback kept pouring in.


    After further investigation, they discovered that Cai Xukun''s popularity was entirely manufactured¡ªhis real fanbase wasn''t even on par with a second-tier celebrity.


    Now that he was officially banned, the NBA didn''t hesitate to sever ties and look for a new representative.


    After conducting a thorough market analysis, their attention turned to Jiang Siming.

 Chapter 354: New Brand Ambassador Announced!

    After the most thorough assessment and verification, the NBA officials determined that Jiang Siming was the most suitable candidate.


    Young, good-looking, with a massive fan base, and currently the hottest online influencer¡ªnot a celebrity, yet more popular than most celebrities.


    Most importantly, his basketball skills were outstanding.


    The officials had seen the video of Jiang Siming soloing Tseng Wen-Ting, where his physical attributes and basketball techniques were top-notch.


    Some NBA teams had even taken notice of Jiang Siming and were considering inviting him to play professionally.


    With so many fitting qualities, the NBA officially selected Jiang Siming and asked China''s NBA ambassador, Yao Ming, to personally communicate with him.


    Yao Ming had to contact Shark officials to get Jiang Siming''s information.


    Jiang Siming accepted the invitation without much thought.


    This surprised Yao Ming, who had researched Jiang Siming and knew him as a young man with his own ideas.


    He had the ability to dominate the entertainment industry but chose to stay home playing games and streaming instead.


    Before coming, Yao Ming had prepared many persuasive arguments, but he didn''t expect Jiang Siming to agree so quickly.


    "Mr. Yao Ming, I have always admired you as an athlete. Being invited by you is an honor. Besides, this invitation is all benefits with no downsides for me¡ªwhy would I refuse?"


    Jiang Siming meant what he said. Yao Ming was an athlete with no scandals throughout his career.


    He had been dedicated to the game, and whether as an athlete or a Chinese representative, he was beyond reproach.


    Yao Ming laughed heartily and sincerely said to Jiang Siming, "I''ve seen your basketball skills. I think you could easily play in the CBA and even have a real shot at being drafted into an NBA team. Have you ever considered going pro?"


    Jiang Siming rejected the idea as decisively as he had accepted the ambassador role.


    "I''ll pass on going pro. I just enjoy playing basketball, but making it my career isn''t for me¡ªI''m too lazy for that."


    Yao Ming had already expected this answer.


    If Jiang Siming truly wanted to play professionally, he would have already joined the CBA.


    Yao Ming didn''t push the idea further and instead explained the duties of an NBA ambassador, which mainly involved promotional shoots.


    The benefits were significant¡ªnot only would Jiang Siming gain more fans in the basketball world, but he would also receive a lucrative contract and lifelong free access to all NBA games.


    The shoot was scheduled for the next day since the officials were in a hurry.


    With Xu Kun''s sudden ban, they needed a replacement as soon as possible.


    For the promotional video, they decided to use footage from Jiang Siming''s viral basketball performance at the music academy.


    Dunks, flashy moves, and his domination over Tseng Wen-Ting¡ªevery single clip was infinitely better than Xu Kun''s so-called "basketball skills."


    After finalizing the deal, Jiang Siming and Yao Ming shared a pleasant dinner at a restaurant before parting ways.


    The news of Jiang Siming replacing Xu Kun as China''s new NBA ambassador was officially announced by the NBA.


    The moment it was released, millions of Chinese basketball fans were thrilled.


    Though a few purists questioned having a gaming streamer as the ambassador, they still preferred him over Xu Kun.


    Even though Jiang Siming''s main profession was gaming, his basketball skills were undeniable.


    "No matter what, I''d rather have Wong Cho-lam than Xu Kun."


    "Didn''t expect Jiang Siming to become an NBA ambassador. Feels like he''s one step away from going pro!"


    "The NBA must regret ever signing Xu Kun. Instead of gaining an advantage, they got themselves endless backlash for half a year, hahaha."


    "Who is Jiang Siming? Why is everyone talking about him?"


    "It''s over¡ªlooks like Jiang Siming is about to be recruited into the NBA. *evil grin*"


    On the third day, the NBA''s official promotional video was released.


    No longer featuring a soft and delicate face, but a bright and handsome one that matched both Eastern and Western aesthetics.


    The moment girls saw him, they fell in love, including Western women who developed a strong interest in this Eastern man.


    Jiang Siming appeared alongside Thompson and Harden on the NBA''s promotional page.


    His promo video featured footage from his solo match at the academy, where Tseng Wen-Ting became nothing more than a background prop, getting completely outplayed.


    After watching it, netizens were convinced that Jiang Siming was more than qualified for the ambassador role.


    As a result, his basketball fan base grew significantly, though it still couldn''t surpass his followers from the gaming and looks-based fandoms¡ªnot even his music fans.


    His basketball fans could only rank just above the variety show fans, placing them second to last.


    By the time Jiang Siming finished shooting the commercial, it was already nighttime.


    Out of the four women at home, only two remained, as the Dragon Boat Festival holiday had ended.


    Wang Xinyi had returned to school, and Zhao Xuan had taken Zhao Xiaoxiao home, leaving only Yin Zhirou and Li Yingzi in the house.


    Both of them had to wake up early for work or classes and usually went to bed early at night.


    Jiang Siming, who always got restless at night, couldn''t fall asleep but also didn''t want to disturb his wives.


    So what could he do? Go out hunting for some fun, of course.


    Half an hour later, Jiang Siming''s car appeared at the entrance of the music academy, where the elegantly dressed Jiang Lan happily hopped in.


    He drove her to their usual rendezvous spot, the Fuding Hotel.


    Jiang Siming was still wearing his basketball jersey from the commercial shoot, as he hadn''t had time to change.


    However, Jiang Lan absolutely loved seeing him in it.


    That night, after using all her charm to please Jiang Siming, she lay in his arms and asked, "Can I... keep this jersey?"


    "What do you want it for?" Jiang Siming asked, puzzled.


    "I just want to keep it close to me. Please, say yes~" Jiang Lan pleaded pitifully.


    Jiang Siming couldn''t help but laugh. "Alright, it''s yours."


    The next morning, as Jiang Siming woke up and opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Lan in his jersey, making breakfast in the kitchen.


    They say a woman wearing a man''s jersey is a common fantasy among men¡ªJiang Siming had to admit, he had fantasized about it too.


    And Jiang Lan was the most stunning and seductive woman he had ever seen in a basketball jersey.

 Chapter 355: Douyu Carnival!

    Two days later, the annual Douyin Carnival is about to start today at Wuhan''s Jiangtan.


    Douyin has taken over Jiangtan for three days, decorating the area to be filled with the atmosphere of Douyin livestreaming.


    Everywhere, there are Douyin logos, mascots, and small activities.


    This year''s facilities and events seem to be even more grand than before.


    Early in the morning, Jiangtan was already packed, with many tourists from other places, as locals generally don''t come to Jiangtan this early.


    There were not only tourists, but many livestreamers had also appeared at Jiangtan.


    They held selfie sticks and used their phones to livestream the outdoor scenes of Jiangtan.


    However, those who come this early are usually just small livestreamers, as big ones wouldn''t be foolish enough to come this early.


    Small livestreamers, on the other hand, have to come because the golden time slots have already been taken by the big ones, leaving no chance for them.


    They must seize the opportunity to quickly livestream the outdoor Jiangtan scenes, hoping to catch a big streamer and maybe even follow them, thus gaining a massive amount of fans they normally wouldn''t get.


    Though it seems that the tourists entering don''t recognize each other, true livestream fans have already come prepared.


    Before coming, they''ve already ordered special clothes representing their idols, making it easy to recognize whose fan they are.


    Among the tourists, some were wearing big, bold t-shirts with the word "ɧ" (provocative) printed on them, featuring a large cartoon fat character wearing glasses.


    The most "provocative" part was that this fat character was holding a cigarette, but the cigarette tip was pointing toward his mouth¡ªthis was obviously PDD''s signature move, reverse smoking.


    This person was naturally a fan from PDD''s livestream.


    Some others wore shirts printed with a slim, yet humorous face, with a secret book in front of them and the phrase "" (to trick you, monkey) on the back.


    Everyone could immediately recognize this as a fan of Xu Xu Bao Bao.


    There were also many other shirts from famous streamers, like Da Si Ma''s "rice jar", Da An Quan''s chubby face with glasses, and an anime avatar from Sao Bai.


    There were even people wearing shirts from retired streamers turned hosts, like Ma La Xiang Guo, the singing pigeon King Er Ke, and the rare yet popular black material-filled Feng Ti Mo.


    These were all from true fans of various streamers, or else they wouldn''t have specially bought customized clothes to attend the carnival.


    However, none of these colorful clothes could compare to a red t-shirt.


    This red t-shirt had the word "Ã÷" (Ming) printed on the chest and a cool cartoon face on the back, holding a 98k gun.


    The frequency of this red t-shirt''s appearance was much higher than the other clothes, and almost every streamer who entered and filmed Jiangtan could be seen wearing it.


    There were so many of them that it made it hard to focus on the other colored t-shirts.


    It wasn''t because the shirt was particularly good-looking, but because the person wearing it represented fans from Jiang Siming''s livestream, fans of Ming Shen!


    "My gosh, I''ve only been in Jiangtan for ten minutes, and I''ve already seen at least a couple hundred Ming Shen''s fans, I only saw a dozen or so of PDD''s shirts, this is terrifying."


    One small streamer gasped in amazement...


    Among the tourists, there were also people wearing clothes of Dai Dai and Tuan Tuan, and quite a few of them too.


    However, up until now, no real big streamers had appeared, and the tourists could only enjoy their own time at Jiangtan.


    By the afternoon, the number of visitors at Jiangtan reached a historic high, with over 300,000 people gathered.


    Since this event had been held before, Wuhan''s public security would always send officers to maintain order.


    Douyin''s annual carnival at Jiangtan benefits Wuhan a lot, promoting tourism and boosting consumption.


    It''s a win-win situation, and Wuhan''s government certainly supports it, fearing any accidents at the venue, with safety being the top priority.


    Wuhan''s government didn''t expect this year''s carnival to be so crowded, almost twice the size of last year, so they quickly sent more police officers to manage the situation.


    At 3 PM, there was a small commotion at the entrance of Jiangtan, and finally, the first big streamer appeared.


    Da An Quan from Northeast China, a well-known League of Legends streamer, with a livestream style resembling a comedic show, quick-witted and a genuinely good-hearted streamer.


    He has over 70,000 fans, and many people know him.


    As soon as Da An Quan appeared, the tourists at the entrance got excited, calling out and greeting him.


    The big quail smiled gently and waved to the people around him.


    However, the commotion he caused only lasted for a while before it changed, as another big streamer arrived, Da Si Ma.


    The appearance of Da Si Ma caused an even greater stir at Jiangtan.


    "Da Si Ma!"


    "Teacher Ma!"


    "Hello, Teacher Ma!"


    ... This is the difference in fame; the more popular you are, the more you are welcomed at Jiangtan. This is something that cannot be faked, because the eyes of the crowd are sharp.


    However, soon, an even bigger commotion arose as major streamers appeared one after another, with Xu Xu Bao Bao and PDD also appearing at Jiangtan.


    The atmosphere at Jiangtan suddenly became unprecedentedly lively, with almost all the tourists following their respective streamers. Wherever the streamers went, the tourists followed.


    The only ones who were scattered were the red-clad tourists, who seemed like headless flies, looking here and there, but always like a scattered group.


    They could only envy the fans of others following their idols, while they still had to wait at the entrance.


    "Has Ming God arrived yet?"


    "Not yet, don''t know how long we''ll have to wait."


    "No matter how long we wait, it''s fine, Ming God is my favorite streamer. We''re willing to wait here for three days!"


    "That''s right, we''re real fans. If we can''t wait this little time, how can we call ourselves real fans!"


    "Wait, it looks like he''s here!"


    ... Amid the discussion, Jiang Siming finally appeared at Jiangtan.


    His appearance suddenly made the entrance of Jiangtan feel like a concert that had just exploded. The crowd seemed to have seen a true superstar, and the atmosphere went wild.


    The dense group of red-clad fans immediately surrounded Jiang Siming, making it impossible for anyone to get through.


    "Ming God, Ming God! I love you!"


    "Ming God, I''m your fan~~"


    "Ming God, can you sign an autograph for me?"


    "Ming God, hubby~ you''ve finally come~"


    ...


    Jiang Siming knew this would happen, so when Di Di and Tuan Tuan wanted to come with him, he refused.


    With so many people surrounding him, it would be inconvenient for the two girls.


    They now had security arranged by Zhao Xuan, so they were completely safe.


    Jiang Siming, however, was in trouble. Although he also had security guards, these guards were no match for the huge crowd and couldn''t get him out.


    Jiang Siming smiled bitterly and said to everyone, "Okay, okay, I''ll sign autographs and take photos, just don''t push, one at a time."


    Thus, Jiang Siming spent a torturous three hours at the entrance of Jiangtan, unable to move, continuously signing autographs and taking photos until dark.


    During this time, he signed at least a few thousand autographs and took numerous photos.

 Chapter 356: Three Hours of Autographs

    Other streamers, upon hearing this, expressed sympathy for Jiang Siming. Being too famous isn''t always good, at least they don''t have to experience the kind of troubles Ming God faces.


    In the end, it was the real fans who understood Jiang Siming, fearing he would get tired, so they collectively decided to let him go.


    "Thank you all for your understanding. I can finally take the first step into Jiangtan," Jiang Siming joked, despite the situation.


    Although he signed autographs for three hours, he didn''t feel tired at all due to his foundation stage. The most he felt was boredom.


    The others smiled awkwardly. They had blocked Ming God at the entrance of Jiangtan for three hours, which was indeed a bit excessive.


    "Let''s go, come inside with me and see what fun things this carnival has," Jiang Siming smiled and took a step forward.


    Behind him followed a crowd of over ten thousand people, tightly packed, like passengers during the Spring Festival travel rush.


    At the very center of Jiangtan, Douyu had set up a large outdoor stage with no seats underneath.


    At this time, the top ten peak streamers award ceremony was scheduled, but Jiang Siming was blocked by fans and couldn''t get in.


    So, the official broadcast postponed the award ceremony and invited various singing streamers to perform on stage, along with professional dance troupes to liven up the atmosphere.


    It was a way to keep the viewers entertained.


    Suddenly, a large group of fans dressed in red rushed in, and the officials immediately realized Jiang Siming had arrived. They paused the program and quickly held the award ceremony.


    The top ten peak streamer award is Douyu''s biggest award.


    The ten winners are all highly influential on Douyu, except for those who were boosted by management agencies.


    "Let''s welcome the tenth peak streamer, Da Si Ma!"


    This year, Da Si Ma didn''t have to worry about being challenged by Qian Xiao Jia, and with the help of his fans, he successfully entered the peak streamers list. Although he was only in tenth place, it was enough to make Master Ma happy.


    After Da Si Ma went on stage, he accepted the award and even sang a song, but his singing skills and voice had everyone laughing.


    Next, the other top ten streamers took the stage. Xiao Tuan Tuan and Da Xiao Mei also went up to receive their awards, followed by PDD and Xu Xu Bao Bao.


    "The second place of this year''s Douyu peak streamer is the cold and aloof idol, Qian Xiao Jia!"


    At this announcement, the audience laughed. A watered-down streamer, "pumped-up pork," one pound of meat with 99 pounds of water.


    To compete with Jiang Siming for the top spot, Qian Xiao Jia''s huge management agency had already been ruined, so everyone assumed Qian Xiao Jia wouldn''t show up.


    But unexpectedly, Qian Xiao Jia did appear.


    This wasn''t Qian Xiao Jia''s idea, but his company ordered him to attend to gain some popularity.


    Reluctantly, Qian Xiao Jia had to leave the deep mountains and forests to come here.


    However, compared to his previous appearance in luxurious clothes, Qian Xiao Jia now looked disheveled.


    His skin was tanned, he looked old and haggard, and his clothes were just street market goods.


    After getting the award, he left immediately without performing.


    The audience booed.


    Once Qian Xiao Jia left, the audience knew the main event was about to begin.


    "To be honest, the speed at which Ming God rose on Douyu is something I never even dreamed of. He went from being an unknown streamer to the top streamer of Douyu, even the top streamer of the entire livestreaming industry in just two months."


    "Now, let us welcome Ming God to the stage with the warmest applause to receive the peak champion streamer trophy!"


    As soon as the host finished speaking, Jiang Siming appeared on stage.


    Without any filters or camera barriers, Jiang Siming stood there in front of everyone, just as he was.


    The female audience members screamed, many of them had suspected Jiang Siming used beauty filters.


    But now, Jiang Siming had completely disproven their doubts with this offline event.


    Everyone''s minds were left with one word: handsome!


    "Ming God, now that you''ve won this championship, do you have anything to say?" the host asked.


    Jiang Siming smiled and said, "Do you want to hear the official answer or the one I personally want to give?"


    "Your own!" the crowd shouted in unison.


    "My own answer is: well-deserved," Jiang Siming replied, not holding back. With his confident declaration, the crowd erupted in cheers.


    Ming God is Ming God; when he shows confidence, no one can compete. This kind of self-assurance, no other streamer would dare to say such a thing.


    The host asked a few more meaningless questions, before finally handing the stage over to Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming sang a simple song, "Goodbye," before leaving the stage.


    He didn''t sing a new song because the sound quality at the venue wasn''t good, and Jiang Siming had no desire to perform his new songs.


    It was better to sing in his study than here.


    After the awards ceremony, the other streamers went up one by one to perform.


    This part of the event was also very popular, but of course, it wasn''t because people wanted to hear them sing. Who could sing better than Ming God?


    What the audience liked to watch was how the female streamers, who usually appeared angelic in their livestreams with beauty filters, looked in reality without them.


    Every year around this time, countless female streamers have their images shattered.


    For example, Ah Leng, Qi Ge, Na Dou, and many others from the beauty category, these female streamers, once they took the stage, looked terrifying, completely overturning the viewers'' expectations.


    Of course, there were also female streamers whose beauty held up under scrutiny, such as Nv Liu, Er Ke, and Sophie.


    Every year''s carnival was like a mirror revealing the truth about beauty. After all, whether someone is beautiful or not, people could tell right away.


    Just like Jiang Siming, after this carnival, no one in the livestream would question his looks anymore. This was the result after the test.


    As for those whose beauty collapsed, with one person on the screen but a completely different reality, they would have to endure the viewers'' criticism for a long time.


    While these streamers were performing their talents, Jiang Siming was sitting at the front with Xiao Tuan Tuan and Da Xiao Mei, in the seats reserved for streamers.


    Behind him sat Xu Xu Bao Bao and his wife.


    "Ming God, hello, hello~~~ Wow, I''m so excited~" Xu''s wife exclaimed, unable to contain herself upon seeing Jiang Siming, like a fan meeting her idol.


    She had wanted to find Jiang Siming earlier, but there were too many people, and Xu Xu Bao Bao didn''t let her go.


    "Hello, Xu''s wife," Jiang Siming greeted with a smile.


    Xu Xu Bao Bao coughed twice and said to Jiang Siming, "Ming God, you must keep your promise and give my wife two signed photos, or I won''t have a good time when I get home."


    Jiang Siming made an "OK" gesture, and when Han Qian Qian saw this, she immediately ran to Jiang Siming''s back, pulling out a small notebook and pen she had prepared earlier.


    Jiang Siming generously signed more than a dozen, and even took over ten photos with her, fulfilling Xu''s wife''s desire to meet her idol.

 Chapter 357: People

    Just as they had finished here, there were signs of movement from PDD''s side as well, with PDD''s wife, Shen Lingmin, getting involved. After seeing Xu Shao take a photo with Jiang Siming, she urged PDD to go and ask for one too.


    Well, both of the former top streamers'' wives from Douyin are fans of Jiang Siming. How can you argue with that?


    "Ah, Ming God, thank you," PDD said, as he watched Shen Lingmin return with the signed photo.


    Although his girlfriend liked his competitor, which made both men''s hearts feel a little jealous, Jiang Siming was no ordinary streamer. If his girlfriend liked him, what could he do? He had to keep her happy, or else he might not have food at home in the future.


    However, once Shen Lingmin and Han Qianqian led the way, things got a bit out of hand.


    In the front row, there were many famous Douyin streamers, from various regions.


    At such a moment, when someone took the lead, others began to follow suit.


    "Ming God, hello, I''m Douyin League of Legends streamer Zhi Xun, can I take a photo with you?"


    "Ming God, I''m Douyin''s outdoor streamer Feng Feng San Hao, I''m your fan, can I take a photo?"


    "Ming God, I''m from PUBG, Ye Zhiqiu."


    "Ming God..."


    With their encouragement, Jiang Siming''s side was even more exciting than the stage performance. Streamers kept coming to ask for photos with him.


    Some of it was to curry favor, but most were genuine admiration.


    A person who went from being an unknown to this point, without relying on bots or hype, and within just a few days, achieved what many streamers couldn''t in their whole careers.


    Such an achievement was unprecedented in the streaming world and would be hard to surpass in the future.


    So as a fellow streamer, they naturally respected Jiang Siming. In fact, because of his high achievements, they didn''t feel jealousy.


    When someone is much stronger than you, you don''t feel dissatisfied, you just think it''s natural.


    Jiang Siming didn''t refuse their enthusiasm with coldness, but accepted each request one by one.


    This time, Jiang Siming was fully recognized as the "King" of Douyin.


    In the future, if he ever wanted to host an event, it was likely these people would help him without hesitation.


    Finally, after the singing and dancing, the biggest event of the carnival began: the meal.


    Although it was just a meal and seemed a bit unimportant, it was, in fact, the most important part of the carnival.


    This was the happiest time for the fans each year¡ªfree food, free drinks, and the chance to toast their idol while meeting fans from all over the world. It was more comfortable than traveling.


    The streamers led their fans to their designated hotels.


    "Ming God, we''re leaving first, but when I have time later, I''ll definitely come by for a drink with you."


    Before leaving, the other streamers didn''t forget to greet Jiang Siming.


    When everyone else had left, there was still a dense crowd at the venue, all dressed in red.


    It was hard to count how many people there were, but it was estimated to be at least over ten thousand.


    Ten thousand people were almost equivalent to twice the number of all the teachers and students in a high school.


    If Douyin hadn''t expanded the venue to its maximum size, the stage wouldn''t have been able to hold so many people.


    "Everyone, there are too many of us, and the restaurant can''t accommodate us, so we''re going to have to have the meal outdoors tonight. I hope you don''t mind?" Jiang Siming said with a smile. He spoke using a bit of true energy, so everyone could hear him clearly without a microphone.


    "No problem!" More than ten thousand people responded in unison, louder than thunder.


    "Alright, let''s go then." Jiang Siming waved his hand.


    The crowd of over ten thousand followed Jiang Siming down the riverside road, a continuous flow of people.


    When they reached the open space that Sun Youcai had arranged for them, there were rows of dining tables as far as the eye could see, with fifteen seats at each table.


    From east to west, a thousand tables was quite an extraordinary sight. Many people had never seen anything like it in their life.


    Even a village wedding banquet gathering everyone could only have a few dozen tables at most. The largest wedding feast they''d ever seen might have been just over a hundred tables.


    A thousand tables was an entirely different concept.


    Next to each table stood two waiters, and each table was also set with alcohol, drinks, and cigarettes. A bottle of Wuliangye Baijiu, worth 600+, a bottle of Great Wall Red Wine, worth 400+, cigarettes all costing a hundred each, with two packs of "He Tian" on every table for anyone to grab, and the drinks were countless in variety.


    There was also a truck parked nearby, loaded with alcohol and beverages, ready to satisfy any shortage.


    The dishes hadn''t even been served yet, but everyone was already shocked by the sight.


    Viewers who couldn''t attend but were watching the livestream were insanely jealous.


    "If I had known, I would have gone no matter what!"


    "Just the alcohol on the table alone, not even counting the food, is almost two thousand per table."


    "The key point is, there are a thousand tables! A few dozen tables is one thing, but think about how much it costs for a thousand tables."


    "I shouldn''t have clicked on this livestream."


    "Is there another one tomorrow? If there is, I''ll book my ticket right now."


    "I admit it, I''m jealous. Those who are here today are really enjoying themselves."


    ...


    Jiang Siming shouted to everyone, "Listen to me, don''t push. Take your seats one by one, I guarantee everyone will have a seat, and if not, we can add more."


    With Jiang Siming there, everyone was too shy to compete for seats. They obediently formed a line and sat down one by one.


    After all, they were all young people, and face mattered a lot.


    Just the process of lining up to sit took almost an hour. There were just too many people.


    By the time there were still over two thousand people left, the venue was completely full.


    Jiang Siming had already asked the hotel to prepare in advance, so he wasn''t worried at all. The hotel staff immediately brought in additional tables and chairs from the truck.


    They added over a hundred more tables, finally meeting the crowd''s needs and filling the venue.


    By this calculation, there were over seventeen thousand people, close to twenty thousand.


    This number seemed unbelievable, but it was actually happening.


    Seventeen thousand red-clad figures made for the most stunning scene on the Jiangtan River today.


    Jiang Siming couldn''t help but take out his phone and asked Xiao Xian for help to capture this rare sight.


    Xiao Xian''s professional photography skills were impressive, capturing the full panoramic view from an invisible flying position.


    Jiang Siming immediately had the photo printed at a copy shop, asking the Douyin staff to make 20,000 copies.


    After the meal, he planned to give one to each person.


    This was the first time in his life that he had gathered so many fans with his personal charm.


    Maybe it would happen again in the future, maybe there would be even more fans, but at least this first time left a lasting impression on Jiang Siming.

 Chapter 358: Thousands Gather for a Feast!

    After everyone had gathered, the hotel began serving food. The three large hotels hadn''t done any business today, as they were just cooking for Jiang Tan. Unlike other streamers who had mostly small crayfish and home-style dishes, Jiang Siming''s dishes were much more extravagant. The crayfish were just side dishes. Each table had an Alaska king crab! There were also Boston lobsters, ox-eye beef, Canadian geoduck, Yunnan bamboo fungus, and more. Many of these dishes were things that the viewers had never eaten in their lives.


    After the dishes were served, the entire live stream audience was drooling. Then they looked at other streamers'' live rooms, which were all just small crayfish or skewers with beer... the difference was enormous!


    "Woo woo woo, the biggest regret this year is not going to the carnival!"


    "To be honest, I only know about the crayfish..."


    "Such lavish spending! Each table probably costs at least two thousand, right? With over a thousand tables, this must cost millions for Ming God."


    "I swear I''ll go to the carnival next year, anyone who doesn''t go is an idiot!"


    "Those who went are already showing photos in the Fish Bar, I want to cry~"


    When all the dishes were served, Jiang Siming didn''t feel the need to say much more. He simply said, "Let''s eat," and thousands of people started eating!


    The table Jiang Siming was sitting at was filled with his exclusive "emperors." One table wasn''t enough, so the surrounding tables were filled as well. There were both men and women, and their ages varied greatly, from the twenties to the forties. Everyone was dressed in an extraordinary way, of course, those who could spend 120,000 per month to live like an emperor weren''t from ordinary families.


    But here, they didn''t dare to act out in front of Jiang Siming. A meal that costs millions is not something that their wealthy families could compare to.


    "Ming God, I propose a toast to you!"


    As the only main character of the gathering, Jiang Siming was inevitably toasted. He wasn''t afraid of it at all and drank every time someone came over, though they couldn''t all come up to toast him at once¡ªthey were worried they''d make him drink to death.


    Each table sent a representative to toast Jiang Siming. Even with this arrangement, there were still about a hundred people. Everyone wondered if Jiang Siming could handle it. But one by one, the representatives came to toast, and Jiang Siming drank cup after cup without getting drunk!


    Halfway through the meal, Little Dumb Sister and Tuan Tuan came over to play. Then Xuxu Baby and the others came to toast one by one. Jiang Siming drank dozens more cups, and although his face turned a bit red, he still stood strong.


    Everyone was in awe. They had never seen someone with such strong drinking capacity. "Drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk" became a new nickname for Jiang Siming among his fans.


    In the future, not only should you not provoke Jiang Siming in "PUBG," but you also shouldn''t provoke him at the dinner table. With so many people today, they managed to keep their lives by toasting one by one. But tomorrow, if some fool tries to challenge Jiang Siming alone, that guy might end up in the hospital.


    The meal lasted until late at night and ended perfectly. With that, the carnival also came to an end.


    The carnival itself was just a formality, mainly providing an opportunity for streamers and fans to connect offline and maintain their relationships. It was like the celebrity fan meetings that happen every year, where stars give back to their fans who have supported them.


    Jiang Siming was very satisfied with the event and assured everyone that he would host it every year. This reassured all the fans who regretted not going. Next year, this gathering would probably have even more people.


    That evening, Jiang Siming didn''t stay for the rest of the carnival and took Dui Dui and Tuan Tuan back to Shanghai. The carnival was held for three days, but Jiang Siming had no intention of staying in Wuhan for that long. He would have gone crazy. The elimination round was about to begin, and Jiang Siming couldn''t wait to return and start the competition.


    ...


    Upon arriving in Shanghai, the driver from Yinghuan Company was already waiting at the airport. Jiang Siming and the two girls got into the car.


    Just as he was about to have the driver take the three of them home, the phone in his pocket rang. Jiang Siming picked up the phone, and it turned out to be a call from Ishihara Satomi.


    "Unni... I think I''m in trouble..." As soon as the call connected, Ishihara Satomi''s nervous and scared voice came through.


    "What happened?" Jiang Siming asked in confusion.


    "Today, Takahashi-san brought me to a fashion show, but I realized she took me to a private club in Shanghai. A Chinese man claimed to be the owner of the club, and he keeps looking at me with a lecherous gaze. Takahashi-san just left and ran off, leaving me here alone. I''m in the bathroom now, and I''m so scared..." Ishihara Satomi''s voice was like a frightened little deer, trembling.


    "Send me the address," Jiang Siming said, not even bothering to ask why she trusted her agent so much. He immediately asked for the address.


    Ishihara Satomi gave him the address, and Jiang Siming said, "Stay in the bathroom and don''t come out. Make up an excuse to delay things. I''ll be there right away."


    Ishihara Satomi obediently agreed. Although Jiang Siming hung up the phone, she no longer felt as scared as she had before.


    "Miss Satomi, are you done yet?" A voice from a female staff member of the club came from outside the bathroom.


    Ishihara Satomi quickly responded, "Sorry, my stomach hurts a little. Please tell Mr. Jie that I might be delayed a bit longer."


    "No problem. Mr. Qiu instructed us to wait outside the door. Once you''re done, come out quickly," the female staff member said, clearly not giving Ishihara Satomi any chance to escape.


    Ishihara Satomi tried calling her agent again, but found that the phone was turned off.


    "Takahashi-san, how could you do this? I just wanted to end our cooperation, and yet you treated me like this..." Ishihara Satomi thought sadly. Since the day she left Jiang Siming''s house, she had been thinking of switching agents.


    She had even begged Takahashi and promised her a high compensation package, but she never expected Takahashi to treat her like this.


    Ishihara Satomi finally realized something: Takahashi and her agency only saw her as a money-making machine. When the machine was no longer useful or had reached the end of its lifespan, they would exploit her for the last bit of value and then kick her out.


    Coincidentally, a wealthy Chinese businessman really liked Ishihara Satomi. Takahashi and the agency took the bribe from the businessman and pushed Ishihara Satomi into the fire.


    Unfortunately, now that she knew the truth, Ishihara Satomi was already on the edge of the fire, unable to retreat.


    She thought about calling the police, but it was said that this wealthy man had connections with the local police. If she called, she might inadvertently alert him, causing him to react violently.


    Ishihara Satomi gave up on that idea and anxiously waited for Jiang Siming to arrive.


    After hanging up the phone, Jiang Siming checked the address of the private club. It was not far from the airport, and by car, it would take about half an hour.


    The main issue was that the place was a bit remote, and it would require several turns to get there. But if she walked quickly, she could probably get there faster.

 Chapter 359: Ishihara in Peril

    Jiang Siming got out of the car and said to Little Dumb Sister and Tuantuan, "I have something to take care of. I''ll have the driver take you home."


    "Be careful, Xiao Ming," the two women said. They knew that the man had business to attend to and shouldn''t be interrupted, though they didn''t know exactly what Jiang Siming was up to and assumed it was just something business-related.


    The driver drove away, and Jiang Siming opened his phone''s navigation. After confirming his location, he stepped out of the range of the surveillance cameras.


    Suddenly, his body shot off like a cannonball, and in the dark night, he flashed across the fields by the road!


    Jiang Siming''s figure seemed to completely lift off the ground and ran through the air at a speed as fast as an arrow.


    Jiang Siming activated his true qi throughout his body, making his movements light as a feather, able to walk in the air like a martial arts expert.


    In martial arts stories, it''s pure nonsense that even an average expert can walk on air. If such a person existed, at least their internal energy would have to reach the level of Zhang Sanfeng to achieve it.


    Jiang Siming, having built his foundation, could only manage to walk on air now, and even then, he needed to occasionally use some external force, or he wouldn''t be able to stay afloat for long.


    As he passed by other people''s buildings, Jiang Siming couldn''t be bothered to turn. He leaped and flew directly from one rooftop to the next, disappearing once again into the night.


    This was the first time Jiang Siming had run so freely after building his foundation, and it felt great.


    The feeling of rushing through the wind, with everything around him a blur, was incredible¡ªhis speed was almost as fast as a sports car.


    After running through the night for ten minutes, Jiang Siming reached the location displayed on his phone.


    A private clubhouse appeared in front of Jiang Siming, surrounded by a tall wall, with security at the gate.


    But this couldn''t stop Jiang Siming. He leaped in with one bound and entered the clubhouse.


    Inside the clubhouse was a luxurious four-story villa, occupying nearly the same area as a Wanda Mall.


    The clubhouse had security patrols on every floor, making it clear this wasn''t a place an ordinary rich person could own.


    Jiang Siming quietly approached the villa, used his mental perception to scan the interior, but couldn''t find Ishihara Satomi.


    The villa was just too large, and Jiang Siming''s consciousness wasn''t strong enough to explore it fully.


    However, at least Jiang Siming knew that the areas he had scanned were empty, so he decided to go in and look.


    Once inside, Jiang Siming asked the little fairy to temporarily block the villa''s surveillance cameras, and then easily avoided the personnel''s sight as he walked further inside.


    "I don''t know which rich guy lives here, but this place is so big it could be an office building," Jiang Siming complained as he walked to the center of the villa. His consciousness swept through again, and this time, he finally spotted Ishihara Satomi''s figure.


    At this moment, Ishihara Satomi had already been dragged out of the bathroom by several female attendants and forcibly shoved into a luxurious, oversized private bedroom on the fourth floor.


    A middle-aged man dressed in pajamas looked at Ishihara Satomi with the eyes of a hungry wolf seeing a lamb, his gaze filled with lust.


    "Miss Ishihara Satomi, you''re truly the most beautiful woman I''ve ever seen. To be honest, I''m your most loyal fan. I''ve always admired you," the middle-aged man said, exposing a set of yellow teeth as he slowly approached her.


    "Mr. Xie, I hope you can be more rational. I''m honored to have you as a fan, but I hope you respect me and let me leave, or I will call the police and have you arrested," Ishihara Satomi courageously said.


    The middle-aged man laughed recklessly, "You don''t need to scare me. We''re in China, and in Shanghai, no one dares to go against the Xie family. I, the richest man in Shanghai, am not boasting."


    "Even if you have money, you can''t break the law of China. You can''t do as you please just because you''re rich!"


    Xie Wenhao laughed. He was not only unafraid, but also took a few more steps forward, causing Ishihara Satomi to retreat in fear.


    "I can''t break the law, but I have money and people. After I''m done, I can have a subordinate take the fall and confess. Besides, you Japanese women, after being assaulted, don''t you still dare to speak up?"


    Xie Wenhao continued to tempt her softly, "If you behave and become my mistress, I won''t trouble you. I''ll even give you ten billion RMB. Whatever you want in the future, I can fulfill it. How about it?"


    Unexpectedly, Ishihara Satomi immediately shook her head without hesitation, "I don''t want your money, and I certainly don''t want to be your mistress. You can forget about it!"


    Xie Wenhao showed an evil grin and said, "Then don''t blame me for forcing you. Tsk, tsk, what a beautiful woman. You have a pretty face, a great figure, but I wonder how you are in bed, heh heh."


    With that, Xie Wenhao lunged toward Ishihara Satomi.


    Ishihara Satomi screamed, desperately trying to escape, but just then, there was a huge crash behind her!


    The top-tier solid wood door of the bedroom collapsed with a loud bang, and the locks broke apart as if hit by a grenade.


    The massive noise not only stunned Xie Wenhao, but also startled everyone in the villa, making them think an explosion had occurred upstairs.


    The security guards quickly ran upstairs.


    "Who are you!" Xie Wenhao exclaimed, terrified when he saw the person standing at the door.


    Ishihara Satomi, seeing Jiang Siming arrive, was so emotional that she burst into tears and quickly ran behind him for protection.


    Ishihara Satomi felt incredibly unlucky¡ªshe had barely been in China for a short time, and yet had encountered two life-threatening crises.


    They say that China has the best public security in the world, and she wouldn''t doubt the truth of that saying, but she just felt that her luck was terrible. Wuwu~


    Luckily, Jiang Siming was here, and this man had once again saved her life.


    "Xie Wenhao, the richest man in Shanghai, made his fortune through minerals and shipping, with a net worth close to a hundred billion. He ranks twelfth on the list of China''s richest people," Jiang Siming said, reading off the information. This was something the little fairy had helped him find out.


    Xie Wenhao looked at Jiang Siming, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar, and said coldly, "You know who I am, yet you dare to break in?"


    "Why wouldn''t I dare? Do you think that just because you''re rich, no one can deal with you?" Jiang Siming sneered.


    Xie Wenhao snickered, looking at the door that had been smashed to the ground by a single punch.


    He cautiously took two steps back and said, "It seems you''re some kind of internal martial arts expert. Do you know that my usual bodyguards have all practiced qigong?"


    As he spoke, several bodyguards and more than a dozen security guards from the villa rushed upstairs.


    Xie Wenhao showed a cruel smile and without hesitation waved his hand, "Take this kid down! Start by breaking one of his legs!"


    The bodyguards immediately charged forward toward Jiang Siming.


    Each of them had prominent cheekbones, bulging temples, muscular bodies, and hands full of calluses.


    They all practiced internal martial arts.


    Xie Wenhao was very fond of internal martial arts. Although he couldn''t learn it himself, he hired bodyguards who specialized in it.


    Seeing Jiang Siming about to be surrounded, Ishihara Satomi bravely stepped forward, standing in front of them!

 Chapter 360: The Billionaire’s Safe

    "I can''t let Onii-san get hurt while saving me!" Ishihara Satomi''s mind was filled with this one thought.


    But as soon as she stepped forward, Jiang Siming immediately pulled her back.


    "How old are you this year? What are you trying to prove?"


    Jiang Siming''s voice echoed in her ear, it was ticklish, yet filled with warmth.


    It felt like the way a brother would scold his sister.


    In many Japanese films and anime, the older brother is always a very important figure to his younger sister.


    Ishihara Satomi''s heart now held Jiang Siming as that kind of "brother."


    Jiang Siming pulled her to the side just as the three bodyguards followed closely.


    The power in their palms was so great that even a stone would be easily shattered by them.


    The one coming toward them was a bald man, with the heaviest strength in his hands. The wind from his punch rushed into Jiang Siming''s ears, more dangerous than any weapon.


    Jiang Siming moved slowly and calmly, also throwing a punch to counter!


    Boom!


    When their fists met, Jiang Siming remained completely still.


    The bald man, however, flew backward for four or five meters, crashing into a wine cabinet before stopping.


    Then, he was buried by expensive bottles of alcohol, no longer moving.


    Everyone stared in shock, until a security guard reacted and immediately went to rescue him.


    The other two bodyguards had expressions frozen in disbelief. The bald man had been the strongest among them, yet Jiang Siming knocked him out with a single punch.


    What did that mean? The two of them might not even be a match for him.


    "Hurry up! What are you standing there for?"


    Jie Wenhao shouted urgently. If Jiang Siming wasn''t dealt with, there would be no good ending for him either.


    The two bodyguards reluctantly charged at Jiang Siming together.


    Both of them used their strongest attacks, aiming to take Jiang Siming down.


    Jiang Siming shook his head in disappointment and sighed, "Not a single one worth fighting."


    As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Siming disappeared like lightning, reappearing behind one of the bodyguards in the blink of an eye.


    He lightly tapped the back of the man''s head, and the man immediately collapsed, his face hitting the ground so hard that his nose bridge broke, but he still wasn''t woken by the pain.


    Only one left, Jiang Siming kicked him from the bedroom hallway all the way to the third-floor stairs.


    Easily taking care of the three internal martial arts experts, Jiang Siming was still unsatisfied.


    These three were too weak, not even half as strong as the old man beside the billionaire.


    Fighting them was like an adult beating up a child¡ªthere was no real satisfaction in winning.


    The rest of the security guards, seeing what had just happened, ran away without even looking back. This extraordinary fighter was definitely not something they could handle.


    As for the boss? Whether he was alive or dead was none of their business; they didn''t want to risk their lives trying to save him.


    Though such acts would usually be the best way to gain a boss''s favor in novels and movies, you had to survive to enjoy it.


    The security guards all ran off, leaving only Jie Wenhao standing in the bedroom.


    At that moment, he stood on the luxurious, soft carpet of his bedroom, but it felt like standing on the tip of a needle, his whole body trembling from fear.


    Jiang Siming turned around and walked into the bedroom. The bedroom''s large door was hanging by a small wooden arm.


    Jiang Siming, too lazy to deal with the hassle, kicked the entire door into the room, causing it to crash right next to Jie Wenhao''s ear.


    Jie Wenhao screamed in terror, his courage instantly shattered.


    "Let''s talk," he said quickly, "Big brother, I''m sorry for not recognizing you. If you''re here for money, I''ll give you whatever you want."


    "Oh? Really? How much can you give me, Mr. Billionaire?" Jiang Siming said with a mocking smile.


    Upon hearing this, Jie Wenhao felt a glimmer of hope, quickly grabbing a checkbook from the bedroom desk, ready to write.


    But Jiang Siming spoke again, "Open the safe behind the wall."


    "Ah... this..."


    Jie Wenhao was stunned, wondering how Jiang Siming knew where his safe was hidden.


    But at this time, he didn''t dare to refuse and could only endure the pain and open the safe.


    As for how Jiang Siming knew, one sweep of his consciousness made everything clear.


    The safe was very large, about the size of an oversized refrigerator.


    It had three layers. The first layer was filled with stacks of US dollars, RMB, British pounds, euros, and so on, all tightly packed, amounting to at least several tens of millions.


    The second layer contained several pieces of calligraphy and paintings as well as porcelain. Since these items were placed there by a billionaire, they must not be low-quality goods.


    The third layer contained a stack of documents, which didn''t seem to be anything special.


    "Little brother, take whatever you want. Take all the money, the antiques and paintings are worthless, can you leave them for me..." Jie Wenhao said, his face full of pleading.


    "If you lose your life, do you think these antiques and paintings will still be useful?" Jiang Siming said.


    When Jie Wenhao heard this, he immediately backed down and took out all the paintings and antiques, placing them in front of Jiang Siming.


    His purpose in saying this was to use the antiques and paintings to distract Jiang Siming, hoping he would overlook the documents in the third layer.


    But Jiang Siming didn''t forget.


    "Take all the documents out and let me see them."


    Jie Wenhao''s face immediately changed, and he forced a smile, saying, "Little brother, these are some confidential documents from my company. Even if you take them, they won''t be of any use."


    "I never say something a second time."


    Jie Wenhao gritted his teeth and took out the documents, handing them over to Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming flipped through them, and indeed, the first few were some confidential documents from the company.


    However, when he reached the middle, the results were entirely different. Not only were there detailed account books and tax evasion records from each of Jie Wenhao''s companies, but also various proofs of illegal operations.


    For example, in the shipping business, there were shady contracts signed privately with cooperating companies, much like the Yin-Yang contracts recently exposed in the entertainment industry.


    These were all serious illegal activities, and there were also many bribery records for high-ranking customs officials.


    These proofs were something Jie Wenhao had kept as leverage in case he had to threaten someone if they turned against him. Little did he know, they had now become a hot potato, and he was in trouble.


    The last two documents, one was the legal land ownership certificate for Xiaoyangshan Port in Shanghai, and the other was a very strange token. Only when Jiang Siming opened the file did he realize what it was.


    It was a gambling license, a Macau gambling license.


    A Macau gambling license is a certification required to run a casino.


    It was like a building permit in a game for establishing a guild. Only with a gambling license can one legally open a casino in Macau.


    How profitable a casino is goes without saying; everyone knows what Macau''s GDP relies on.


    Moreover, Macau had already stopped issuing gambling licenses, and the one Jiang Siming held was worth at least 10 billion to start!


    As for the land ownership certificate for Xiaoyangshan Port, it was also worth at least 10 billion to start.

 Chapter 361: Gambling License and Land Ownership

    "You really have a large family business," Jiang Siming said with an official smile.


    "Little brother, let''s get straight to the point. I''ll give you 5 billion. You return these documents to me, and we pretend we never met. A trip here to earn 5 billion should be enough, right?"


    When Jiang Siming flipped through the evidence of his company''s illegal activities, Jie Wenhao realized that this issue couldn''t be solved with just tens of millions of dollars. He had to cut a large piece of flesh to feed this wolf, Jiang Siming, all at once. But unfortunately, this wolf had a big appetite.


    "You''re dreaming. I''ll take the gambling license and the land. You have five minutes to bring your lawyer here for the handover," Jiang Siming said without restraint.


    The gambling license and land were just nominal. As long as a transfer agreement was signed, they could legally be owned by him. These two hundred billion yuan assets, Jiang Siming certainly wouldn''t let go.


    "Little brother, be careful not to choke on your big appetite. Even if you force me to sign the documents, it''s useless. If I report you, these two things will lose their legal validity," Jie Wenhao said with a vicious look in his eyes.


    No one could accept giving up over two hundred billion at once.


    Jiang Siming carelessly raised the evidence files in his hand and said, "Do you think these things have legal validity?"


    "You''re forcing me, and even a dog will jump over the wall when cornered!" Jie Wenhao angrily said.


    Smack!


    Jiang Siming slapped him to the ground and spat a thousand-year-old phlegm on him.


    If you call yourself a dog, then I''ll treat you like one.


    "I haven''t even settled the score with you for earlier, and now you''re starting to threaten me? Let''s see you try to show your claws again," Jiang Siming said.


    Jie Wenhao was knocked to the ground by Jiang Siming''s slap, his right cheek swelling up, two of his molars falling out, blood mixed with saliva spilling out.


    Now Jie Wenhao became obedient and quickly called for the lawyer.


    The lawyer worked efficiently, and these two assets were transferred to Jiang Siming.


    Jiang Siming then asked Jie Wenhao to get a sack and pack the paintings and porcelain for him to take away.


    As for the box of money, Jiang Siming wasn''t interested. It was just tens of millions, and with over two hundred billion already in his hands, he was satisfied.


    "I''ll keep these documents for safekeeping. As long as you behave, I''ll return them to you intact after a year. But if you dare to make any trouble, don''t blame me for making you spend the rest of your life in prison," Jiang Siming said, leaving these words behind. He then put his arm around Ishihara Satomi''s slim waist and walked out of the villa with a confident stride.


    Before leaving, Jiang Siming inexplicably patted Jie Wenhao on the abdomen twice.


    Jie Wenhao couldn''t understand at all. His body wasn''t in any pain, so what was Jiang Siming''s purpose in patting him?


    Actually, Jiang Siming secretly disrupted Jie Wenhao''s kidney function with that pat. In the future, he''d find it hard to get it up.


    The security guards downstairs didn''t dare to make any moves when they saw Jiang Siming. They ran faster than rabbits.


    Jiang Siming swaggered out of the clubhouse, disappearing into the night.


    Back on the fourth floor of the villa, the security guards looked at the mess and the collapsed Jie Wenhao lying on the floor.


    "Boss, should we call the police?"


    Slap!


    "Call your mother! What use is it to have you worthless trash around? Can''t even take down one person. Useless! Garbage!"


    From the fourth floor of the big villa, Jie Wenhao''s voice could be heard, angry but knowing there was nothing he could do.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Siming and Ishihara Satomi were walking back to the city, but unfortunately, there wasn''t a car in sight. The two could only walk.


    "Ouch!"


    Because it was dark and hard to see, Ishihara Satomi twisted her ankle on a stone, and the pain made her gasp.


    "How clumsy."


    Jiang Siming said, making her sit down. He then lifted her long skirt to check the injury on her foot. It was indeed twisted pretty badly, and there was bruising around the ankle.


    Jiang Siming gently massaged the injured area, using his energy to help her blood flow and remove the bruise. Soon, the bruise on her ankle faded significantly.


    Ishihara Satomi''s once pained face gradually became more comfortable, and she even unintentionally hummed a little.


    The bruise had faded quite a bit, but there was still some redness and swelling.


    The pain had reduced significantly, but to walk normally, such a hasty treatment certainly wouldn''t work.


    "You''d better go back to the city. I''ll go to the pharmacy and buy some acupuncture needles to give you a few treatments, and you''ll be fine," Jiang Siming said.


    "Thank you, Onisan."


    Ishihara Satomi shyly and sincerely thanked Jiang Siming. This Chinese man had once again saved her from danger.


    She owed Jiang Siming too much, too much to ever repay.


    "Why thank me? In the future, use your brain more, stay away from such disgusting managers, and be more cautious with your choices. Don''t get fooled so easily. This time I was close, but if I hadn''t been, you would have been in big trouble today."


    Ishihara Satomi nodded and said firmly, "I''ve made up my mind. I will cut ties with my original company and manager. Even if I have to set up my own studio, I don''t want to stay in this company anymore."


    "Setting up a studio? Come to my company, that works just fine. It''s settled. Next week, Huayi will report it. Report my name and they''ll give you a 20% discount... no, if you use my name, they''ll know how to arrange things for you."


    Ishihara Satomi didn''t expect Jiang Siming to be the chairman of Huayi. Without much thought, he directly agreed for her to join Huayi.


    "Alright, you can''t even walk now. I''ll carry you," Jiang Siming said, squatting down in front of Ishihara Satomi.


    "This... isn''t it bad, Onisan?" Ishihara Satomi blushed and said.


    "If you don''t get on, I''ll leave you here," Jiang Siming said, too lazy to be a gentleman. It was more convenient to be a domineering CEO. If she didn''t want to, fine, he would leave.


    Ishihara Satomi, afraid Jiang Siming might really leave her behind, obediently climbed onto his back.


    Once on his back, Jiang Siming immediately felt two soft, tender things pressing against his back, making him a bit distracted.


    He then reached his hand to his back and wrapped it around Ishihara Satomi''s long, fair legs. The skin and temperature of her legs indicated that the owner of those legs was currently in a conflicted state.


    Ishihara Satomi, who was being carried by Jiang Siming, had her high heels removed, revealing her fair, flawless little feet.


    Jiang Siming carried her as they walked along the road leading to the city, occasionally looking around to see if any vehicles were passing by.


    He could fly back, but carrying Ishihara Satomi would make it difficult, not to mention he didn''t plan to let her discover this, as it would be too surprising.


    So, avoiding trouble was best, and walking was the simplest option.


    Ishihara Satomi, who was lying on Jiang Siming''s back, had her heartbeat constantly above 160.


    Flushed and with her heart racing, she accepted Jiang Siming''s broad, warm back, in the quiet of the night, on the road where you couldn''t see your hand in front of your face.


    Jiang Siming walked with her on his back, and there were several moments when Ishihara Satomi wished this time would never end. She wanted to keep walking with Jiang Siming forever.


    "Onisan..."

 Chapter 362: Advanced Football, All Done in One Go!

    Jiang Siming thought that Ishihara Satomi could become a voice actress for Japanese anime, her voice was very pure, a bit like Ogino Chihiro.


    When she called him "Onisan," Jiang Siming''s heart involuntarily skipped a beat.


    He almost thought he had traveled into *Spirited Away*.


    Emmm... if I really traveled in, who would I be?


    No-Face? Puh- puh- puh, how could I be that kind of character!


    "What''s wrong?" Jiang Siming responded to Ishihara Satomi while thinking aimlessly.


    Ishihara Satomi blushed and said, "It''s nothing, I just wanted to call you."


    Jiang Siming said "Oh" and continued walking.


    "Onisan..."


    "Mm?"


    "It''s nothing, just calling you, hehe~"


    Ishihara Satomi rested her head on Jiang Siming''s shoulder, playfully sticking out her tongue, loving to call Jiang Siming, though she didn''t know why.


    "Your Chinese has improved a lot."


    Jiang Siming noticed that this woman had been speaking to him in Chinese the whole time.


    "Mm, I''ve been learning a lot recently. I even enrolled in a Chinese class, but I''ve only just learned the basics."


    This part was said in English, since she hadn''t learned Chinese for long and could only speak simple words.


    "Why the sudden push to learn Chinese?"


    "Because... Satomi wants to learn Onisan''s hometown language to communicate with you, and... I want to stay in China."


    Ishihara Satomi shyly said this, then buried her head.


    Little did she know, a message had already entered Jiang Siming''s mind.


    "Favorability +60, current favorability: 90 (Base +30), reward: Random Red Fragment x1!"


    A 90 favorability, that''s really high.


    Jiang Siming was a bit surprised. He had only saved this Japanese girl twice, how did he so easily open her heart?


    This is really... beautiful, so beautiful~


    "Picked up [Advanced Football] Red Fragment x1 (1/1), fragment count is full, can be used directly."


    Wow! What luck!


    Advanced football skill!


    He didn''t even have the basic football skill, and advanced football must be a difficult red skill, just like advanced basketball.


    When he collected the [Advanced Basketball] fragments, he had spent five fragments!


    Plus three [Basic Basketball] fragments, a total of eight.


    Now, this [Advanced Football] was solved with just one fragment, what a deal!


    Click to use, Jiang Siming''s body felt like it had inherited the skills of countless top football players.


    It felt similar to the day he got the advanced basketball skill, when he felt like he had gained the abilities of Jordan and Kobe, giving him unmatched confidence and familiarity with basketball.


    Now, with this advanced football, Jiang Siming felt like he could dominate the football field!


    Nice, nice, maybe in the future, I''ll create a little elementary school team to challenge the national team.


    Jiang Siming spent nearly an hour carrying Ishihara Satomi on his back before they finally reached the city and hailed a taxi.


    "Where do you usually stay in China?" Jiang Siming asked Ishihara Satomi.


    "I stay at the Fuding Hotel, but my manager also stays there, and I don''t want to see her anymore."


    Ishihara Satomi was clearly angry that Takahashi had sold her out and didn''t even want to see her face.


    Jiang Siming chuckled. Fuding Hotel, isn''t that part of his property?


    "Driver, to Fuding Hotel."


    Ishihara Satomi looked at Jiang Siming with pitiful eyes, feeling wronged.


    Jiang Siming patted her head and said, "Don''t worry, I''ll take care of it, I guarantee you''ll never see her at the Fuding Hotel again."


    Although Ishihara Satomi didn''t want to see Takahashi, she was more willing to listen to Jiang Siming''s words. No matter how wronged she felt, it was worth it.


    The air conditioning in the car was a bit low, and Ishihara Satomi, wearing just a long dress, felt a little cold.


    She initially wanted to ask the driver to turn off the air conditioning but hesitated, eventually lingering between the air conditioning and Jiang Siming.


    "Onisan... Can I continue leaning on you for a bit? I''m a little cold."


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Siming generously opened his arms, and Ishihara Satomi shyly and happily leaned into him.


    Her delicate body curled up in Jiang Siming''s embrace like a little cat.


    Jiang Siming skillfully hooked his hand around her slim waist. There was not an ounce of extra fat on her waist, and through the thin fabric of her clothes, he could feel the elasticity of her skin.


    At this moment, Ishihara Satomi was both nervous and shy but did not stop Jiang Siming from doing anything inappropriate.


    Instead, afraid the driver might see in the rearview mirror, she scooted closer to Jiang Siming, completely out of the mirror''s view.


    Jiang Siming, seeing that the rearview mirror was no longer an issue, kept his hand firmly locked on Ishihara Satomi.


    After a futile struggle, Ishihara Satomi buried her head into Jiang Siming''s chest, playing the ostrich and convincing herself that nothing had happened, that she didn''t know anything~


    "I didn''t see anything, I don''t know anything, so it''s fine, it''s fine..."


    Seeing that Ishihara Satomi had given up struggling, Jiang Siming''s hand became even bolder.


    Ishihara Satomi was jolted like she had been struck by electricity, her whole body went weak, and she collapsed into Jiang Siming''s arms.


    She tried to push Jiang Siming away, but her body simply refused to obey, no longer responding to her commands.


    "Not allowed to do what?" Jiang Siming asked with a mischievous smile.


    His hand didn''t stop for a second, and doing things in a taxi was really a little exciting.


    Moreover, Ishihara Satomi''s figure was undeniably perfect, not falling short compared to any of his girlfriends.


    Her size was similar to Jiang Lan''s, probably around 34/D.


    In any case, it was hard to let go.


    Ishihara Satomi was left speechless by Jiang Siming''s question, not knowing how to resist him.


    Eventually, it was the driver who came through, taking them to their destination, which finally caused Jiang Siming to pause his mischievous hand.


    Ishihara Satomi was like a frightened little deer.


    She looked like a servant girl who had been caught by the madam in an aristocratic household, hurriedly fixing her clothes as she got out of the taxi.

 Chapter 363: Onisan, You Are a Big Bad Guy!

    Although Jiang Siming had taken such advantage of her, Ishihara Satomi was not angry. She just lowered her head and pursed her lips.


    It seemed like she was silently protesting why Jiang Siming had to make a move on her in the taxi. It was too embarrassing...


    "Let''s go, back to the hotel to sleep," Jiang Siming said, dismissing Ishihara Satomi''s little grievance and protest. Sleep... sleep?


    Ishihara Satomi, holding Jiang Siming''s hand, felt like a puppet being pulled along, allowing Jiang Siming to lead her into the hotel.


    "Good evening, Chairman!"


    "Good evening, Chairman!"


    As soon as they entered, Ishihara Satomi heard the hotel staff greeting Jiang Siming.


    "Chairman? Onisan, is this hotel yours?" Ishihara Satomi asked, somewhat surprised.


    Jiang Siming didn''t answer her. Instead, he walked up to the front desk and said, "Check if a Japanese woman named Takahashi has returned to the hotel."


    Normally, customer privacy would prevent such requests, but when the chairman speaks, they dare not refuse, and they immediately started checking.


    "Chairman, Ms. Takahashi checked out an hour ago. I heard she rushed to catch a flight back to Japan," the front desk informed.


    "Your agent really is fast. Otherwise, I would have had to take her to the police station for some tea," Jiang Siming said, somewhat regretfully.


    A trace of disappointment flashed across Ishihara Satomi''s face. She self-deprecatingly said, "I never thought she would leave after all the years we spent together. I considered her my best confidante."


    Seeing Ishihara Satomi''s mood drop, Jiang Siming pinched her chin and tilted her head up.


    This move was quite frivolous, but if it were between a couple, it would be sweet.


    "No more confidante sister, but do you want a confidante brother?" Jiang Siming asked with a smile.


    "Mm..."


    Ishihara Satomi''s momentary disappointment was quickly swept away by Jiang Siming''s teasing.


    She tried to pull her head back, but Jiang Siming held her chin firmly, keeping her face in his palm.


    This was similar to the popular online gesture where one reaches out, and the other person leans in. It was sweet and intimate, something only couples usually do.


    The female front desk staff covered her mouth and giggled, enviously watching Ishihara Satomi. This woman was not only incredibly beautiful, but most importantly, she had attached herself to the chairman.


    The male staff were equally envious of Jiang Siming. The first girl the chairman brought was already good-looking enough, but he hadn''t expected him to replace her with someone just as stunning.


    At first, they thought Jiang Siming was very loyal because he always brought Jiang Lan.


    But now, they could only think, "Haha, men!"


    But they were still enviously whispering, "So lucky..."


    "Let''s go, pack your things and move to a new place," Jiang Siming said.


    "New place? Where to?" Ishihara Satomi asked in confusion. Wasn''t this hotel good enough? She was already staying in a room costing 20,000 a night.


    "Just follow me," Jiang Siming said, then turned to a male staff member. "Xiao Zhi, could you please go to the Chinese medicine clinic and get a new set of acupuncture needles?"


    After taking a high-end genetic drug, Jiang Siming was able to clearly remember everything he saw, including all the hotel staff''s names.


    When the male staff heard Jiang Siming remember his name and speak so courteously, he was so excited that he kept nodding, immediately rushing out to find the clinic.


    Jiang Siming led Ishihara Satomi upstairs and went to her room first.


    "Hurry up and pack your things. I''ll take you to a more comfortable room," Jiang Siming said, looking around Ishihara Satomi''s room.


    Unfortunately, he had hoped to find some underwear left carelessly around by Ishihara Satomi, but he saw nothing.


    Ishihara Satomi was very tidy, so there was no way her clothes were scattered around.


    She obediently entered the room, grabbed her luggage, and followed Jiang Siming to the top floor.


    When she entered the new room, she understood what Jiang Siming meant by "more comfortable."


    Her 20,000-a-night room was like a bathroom compared to this one.


    To be honest, Ishihara Satomi had stayed in five-star hotels a few times before, but none of them were better than this one.


    However, now for Ishihara Satomi, it no longer mattered what room she stayed in. What mattered was that Jiang Siming was in the same room as her.


    A single man and a single woman sharing a room, Ishihara Satomi''s body became a little stiff.


    She pretended to be calm and went to the bedroom to organize her luggage.


    Not long after, she heard Jiang Siming''s voice from outside.


    "I''ll be going back now."


    Then came the sound of a door closing.


    Ishihara Satomi quickly ran out of the bedroom, only to find that Jiang Siming was no longer there.


    "Onisan..."


    Ishihara Satomi thought Jiang Siming had really left and assumed he must have been angry because she ignored him.


    Panicking, she rushed to the door and opened it, trying to catch up with him, but the hallway was empty.


    At that moment, a figure appeared behind her, smiling at her.


    "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven''t left yet."


    Ishihara Satomi''s face immediately turned pink, and without caring about her inner shyness, she threw herself into Jiang Siming''s arms.


    "Onisan, you are such a bad guy!"


    Ishihara Satomi pouted in Jiang Siming''s arms, her face red like a heroine from an anime.


    Jiang Siming couldn''t hold back anymore. He hugged her and lifted her chin again. This time, he didn''t just do nothing, but leaned down and kissed her.


    Previously, Ishihara Satomi had stolen a kiss from him, and he missed his chance. Now, Jiang Siming was going to make up for that ''loss''.


    As soon as Jiang Siming''s lips touched hers, Ishihara Satomi froze. She struggled a little symbolically but then melted in his arms.


    Just at that moment, the waiter arrived with the acupuncture needles and happened to see the door wasn''t closed. Fortunately, they were only kissing and didn''t do anything else.


    "Sorry, Chairman, I didn''t know..." The waiter thought he had disturbed Jiang Siming and quickly apologized.


    Jiang Siming kindly patted his shoulder, took the acupuncture needles, and said, "It''s fine, don''t worry. Go to finance to get the money for the acupuncture. And by the way, order a late-night snack from the kitchen, my treat."


    "Thank you, Chairman," the waiter said excitedly before leaving.


    Jiang Siming closed the door, and Ishihara Satomi had already run to the bedroom, not daring to show herself.


    She ran to the bedroom? Well, that just played right into his hands. Heh heh.


    Jiang Siming followed her into the bedroom, where Ishihara Satomi was still busy packing her luggage.


    "Get on the bed and lie down. I need to clear up those bruises for you," Jiang Siming instructed.


    Ishihara Satomi, holding her clothes, seemed at a loss. Her little brain froze for a few seconds before she obediently lay down on the bed, tightly closing her eyes.


    Jiang Siming looked at her, amused. He never expected this Japanese girl to be so shy, almost like a bashful plant.


    Lying on the bed, ready to be admired, was truly tempting.


    Today, Ishihara Satomi was wearing a gorgeous dress that was stunning and showed off her beautiful figure.


    Especially after lying down, the dress on her upper body was pushed up by her well-endowed chest, making it hard to look away.
