In the game, Lin Xinyuan controlled his character and followed Qin Nanfeng to point A.
But at this moment, messages flooded the upper right corner of the screen, showing that a teammate had dropped the package at A Path.
With no other choice, the two had to go pick it up.
Now, only two players were left on their side, and two on the enemy team as well.
Qin Nanfeng knew there was a high chance someone would be camping at the window of their own base, and maybe another one in the dog hole.
So he told Lin Xinyuan to watch A Path from the A platform, and to let him know if anyone appeared.
Meanwhile, he jumped straight down under the bridge, sneaking through the enemy’s bridge tunnel base, pushing directly to the front of the middle door.
He moved quietly, lining up his crosshair, and crept forward.
Just as Qin Nanfeng expected, someone was camping in the dog hole.
The moment the enemy peeked out to scout, Qin Nanfeng didn’t hit the head, but shot him twice in the neck area, taking him down on the spot.
He quickly moved out, checked the sniper’s nest window in his own base—no one there.
Then, watching his left side, he pressed along the wall of the A platform.
[You Step Down, I Take the Stage used usp to headshot and eliminate Feng Chui Ku Cha Dan Dan Liang]
“Bro, someone’s sneaking up from behind!”
Qin Nanfeng wasn’t surprised.
He picked up the package but didn’t rush to confront the last enemy.
Even though it was a low-rank game, the season had only just started, and there were plenty of smurfs, so he couldn’t let his guard down.
Even if it really was a smurf lobby, he would stick to his usual playstyle, not rushing head-on.
Besides, that enemy had just eliminated three of his teammates, clearly not a newbie.
With that in mind, he made his character jump down from the A platform, looped through the dog hole to point B, and started planting the package.
After planting, Qin Nanfeng didn’t hide behind the boxes, but stood at the B main entrance near the package.
From this spot, he could watch both entrances, and anyone coming in through the hole above the site would have to jump, making noise he couldn’t miss.
After waiting a bit, suddenly a grenade came flying in through the hole above the site, but it didn’t hit Qin Nanfeng.
Then a flashbang came in from outside the door, blinding his view.
Lin Xinyuan, spectating, saw this and couldn’t help but type:
“Bro, plaza.”
“Mm.”
Qin Nanfeng stayed calm, but no longer watched the main entrance plaza side.
Instead, he aimed at the B path from his own side and moved back behind the box for cover.
At this moment, someone typed in the team chat.
Xun Zhao, Cun Zai De Yi Yi: “sb, watch the plaza! Are you blind?”
Lin Xinyuan never doubted Qin Nanfeng’s skills.
After all, he’d seen him play in the dorm, so he didn’t think Qin Nanfeng could make such a simple mistake.
He thought for a moment, and immediately understood what Qin Nanfeng was planning.
Just then, Qin Nanfeng spoke up, directly snapping back at the other player: “You died so fast, rushing with the package without thinking, and now you want to command me?”
“You think you’re a pro just because you have more kills? When I rushed A Path, why didn’t you help cover? You mother***”
Qin Nanfeng decided not to argue with idiots and focused on the match, muting his mic for now.
He was already low on health, so it wasn’t wise to take a direct gunfight with the enemy—finding cover was essential.
While Qin Nanfeng concentrated on the match, Lin Xinyuan, spectating, was idle and watched as that “Xun Zhao, Cun Zai De Yi Yi” kept cursing at thin air.
The insults got worse and worse. Even Lin Xinyuan, who really disliked the yellow-haired guy, couldn’t stand it anymore:
“You were basically just delivering the package to the enemy, weren’t you?”
At first, seeing no one respond, “Xun Zhao Cun Zai Yi Yi” got more and more arrogant—until Lin Xinyuan replied.
Xun Zhao, Cun Zai De Yi Yi: “All you do is hide behind others, and you think you have the right to talk? What a joke! Have you ever killed anyone? fw!”
Feng Chui Ku Cha Dan Dan Liang: “Never killed anyone, so what? More kills means you’re a pro?”
Lin Xinyuan’s reply turned the other’s words right back at him.
While they kept arguing, Qin Nanfeng finally awaited the enemy.
Just as expected, the enemy came from the dog hole, aiming at the spot where Qin Nanfeng had just been.
But before he could react, Qin Nanfeng, who was hiding behind the box, peeked out and landed a clean headshot.
Victory!
Lin Xinyuan saw Qin Nanfeng win and immediately started praising: “nb! Bro! You’re amazing!”
He kept going, now with a mocking tone: “Unlike some people, all talk and no skill. But I get it—look at that name… Heh… With a name like that, of course he’s looking for meaning in life! Truly, the name fits the man. The ancients never lied!”
Seeing this, the guy seemed to lose it, spewing curse after curse, sending paragraph after paragraph.
Everyone respawned at the starting point.
Qin Nanfeng hadn’t said much earlier, but after seeing Lin Xinyuan type back at the guy for him, he paid attention to the situation.
Seeing this ‘Feng Chui Ku Cha Dan Dan Liang’ manage to roast the other guy until he could only curse incoherently, Qin Nanfeng actually found this person quite to his liking.
Since his performance last round was outstanding, Qin Nanfeng had the highest economy.
He bought an AWM, turned his mic back on, and started roasting:
“I’ve seen drama-queen girls before, but this is the first time I’ve seen a drama-queen in CS. I wouldn’t even want this kind of player as a decorative plate, useless and annoying. Let’s kick him, he’s just an eyesore.”
With that, Qin Nanfeng initiated a team vote, and with four votes, kicked the guy out.
Apparently, even though the other two teammates hadn’t spoken, they were just as fed up with him—he’d insulted them too, after all…
After that, the match was straightforward.
The enemy played decently, but with Qin Nanfeng’s solid skills and obedient teammates, they easily secured the win.
Through this game, Lin Xinyuan gradually adapted to the controls.
At least his aim wasn’t as ridiculous as in the first match, though there was still plenty of room for improvement…
Qin Nanfeng could clearly see “Feng Chui Ku Cha Dan Dan Liang” improving—just one game and he’d made great progress.
Quite talented…
He silently gave his evaluation.
Though a newbie, his aim needed work, but his game sense was impressive.
By the end of this match, their teamwork was actually pretty good.
With a bit of training, he’d make a great teammate…
After that, the two played several more matches.
With Qin Nanfeng leading, they encountered some bumps, but every game ended in an easy win.
In just one afternoon, Lin Xinyuan got hooked on the game, realizing how much more fun it was with a skilled player leading.
Before he knew it, it was already past five in the afternoon.
After playing all afternoon, his account ranked up three divisions, from Silver V to Silver II.
“This game’s pretty fun, especially with you leading! But I’ll stop here for today, I’ve got something to do, sorry!”
“Alright.” Qin Nanfeng was a bit tired too, but found playing with this stranger quite interesting.
“Oh oh, by the way, bro, add me on Green Bubble! Next time I’m struggling, I can call you to back me up.”
Lin Xinyuan was a bit addicted to the game and admired the “stinky yellow-haired guy’s” skills, but he clearly hadn’t forgotten his goal.
“Mm, here’s my number: 130”
“Okok, I’ll add you now.”
“Added! ‘Yuan An’ is me, accept it! Happy.JPG”
Seeing this, Qin Nanfeng opened Green Bubble on his phone and sure enough, received a friend request from an account named ‘Yuan An’.
The avatar was a chibi white-haired anime character with a side ponytail, arms folded, eyebrows raised, and a wise look in its eyes.
Qin Nanfeng couldn’t help but smile, thinking the avatar didn’t match the username at all.
He should change it to something more like his in-game name.
Shaking his head, he typed a reply:
“Alright, go handle your business, I’m logging off too.”
“Okay, bro! See you next time!”
After finishing his chat with the “stinky yellow-haired guy,” Lin Xinyuan was quite excited.
Oh yeah! Plan One, success! Feels great…
In high spirits, he logged out and shut down in one go.
Back at school, he went to the South Cafeteria for dinner before returning to the dorm.
Since there was an 8 a.m. class tomorrow, Lin Xinyuan took a shower and wrote a bit before getting ready for bed.
Tonight was very peaceful. Even Xiong Wei and the others, who usually gamed until 2 a.m., were all in bed before midnight.
Nothing happened all night…
Tomorrow, it’s back to class…
