Valiant Sniper saw the back of his own head.
A gunshot rang out, and the game character fell forward with a thud, blood splattering onto the table.
He himself turned into a transparent ghost.
Valiant Sniper was stunned for a moment before realizing what had happened, and then he couldn't accept reality:
"What the hell?"
"You guys took four or five shots and nothing happened!"
"But I get one-shotted??"
Moonlit Dream, Orange Juice, and Seven Flowers were also stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter:
"Serves you right! Hahaha, you got what you deserved!"
"Even the system couldn't stand it anymore!"
"You scumbag."
"Don't omit the 'Cyber' part! It's [Cyber Scumbag]! Not just [Scumbag]!" Valiant Sniper retorted loudly.
"Okay, scumbag."
"Got it, scumbag."
"No problem, scumbag."
The three of them replied in unison.
Valiant Sniper took a deep breath.
The next second, he reacted again: "That doesn't count!"
"I said before I fired that I was cheating this round, it wasn't a fair game at all!"
"Let's play another round! Let's have a fair and just showdown!"
"Shut up!" Moonlit Dream and Orange Juice said at the same time.
The dealer had already started the next round, so Valiant Sniper had to shut up for the time being and let the remaining three continue.
He simply stood up and moved around the table, observing the game from every angle.
Of course, he didn't intervene anymore.
Without him trying to exploit the "mechanics", the game became much more normal.
——But not completely normal.
Because the marks he left on the back of the cards were still there.
The remaining three had to play while remembering the cards, turning the game into a combination of luck and mental power.
Due to the viewing distance on the computer, Orange Juice and Moonlit Dream could clearly see the marks when the cards were in their hands, but it was not so easy when the cards were in someone else's hand or thrown on the table.
This really tested their eyesight.
Seven Flowers had it much easier, not only remembering the cards several rounds in advance, but also easily seeing whether there were marks on the cards in other people's hands and the cards thrown out.
This was already a huge advantage.
Not to mention, Orange Juice and Moonlit Dream had been harmed by Valiant Sniper, and were already at the state of taking 4 and 5 shots.
It didn't take much effort for Seven Flowers to successfully survive to the end.
Moonlit Dream and Orange Juice didn't dwell on the result.
Especially Orange Juice, who roared the moment it ended: "Yan Bo! Let's go! Let's go to the gun assembly duel! A 1v1 real man battle!"
"Don't!" Valiant Sniper struggled, "I cheated this round, it doesn't count! Let's start a second round, a fair and just showdown!"
"Shut up, scumbag!"
"Shut up, scumbag."
"Shut up, scumbag~"
Orange Juice, Moonlit Dream, and Seven Flowers unleashed a triple combo.
In Valiant Sniper's live broadcast room, a vast number of viewers also frantically spammed "Shut up, scumbag", occasionally mixed with other taunts:
"From now on, you'll be online with your real name, scumbag Yan Bo!"
...
Valiant Sniper subconsciously reached out to touch his face, but felt the VR glasses...
He sighed, gave up struggling, and went to the armory with Orange Juice.
This gun assembly battle was a bit unsightly——
Although these two used different hardware, their understanding of firearms was equally lacking.
Their "duel" wasn't exciting at all.
It was completely groping and stumbling, seeing who was lucky and assembled it slowly.
In the end, Orange Juice relied on the simpler keyboard and mouse operation to win this battle of the weak.
"Wait! I'm almost done disassembling!" Valiant Sniper struggled.
But Orange Juice said happily: "We're even, scumbag!"
Then, without hesitation, he pulled the trigger and sent this scumbag away with one shot.
"Phew——"
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
"That was great!"
Unlike dying at the bar card table and leaving a corpse, Valiant Sniper's corpse disappeared quickly after falling here, and he ran over again in a short while.
"Another round? I really don't think I deserve the title of Cyber Scumbag!"
"As everyone knows, to be a scumbag, you have to be liked by many girls first."
"But I'm a dead宅... no one loves me at all!!"
"How can I be a scumbag?"
"You just can't afford to lose, can you?" Orange Juice blocked his retreat with one sentence.
All of Valiant Sniper's reasons were choked in his throat by this sentence, and he finally sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, what's next? Do you guys have anything to do?"
"If not, let's play a few more rounds? I won't mess around this time."
"Or go check out the newly updated tutorial level and the [Narrow Encounter] new mode?"
"I'm good with anything." Orange Juice let go of all the previous unhappiness after firing that shot.
"I'm good with anything before the 《Frost Snow Project》 goes live." Seven Flowers still put her wives first.
She ultimately prefers sexy wives.
She finds it a bit difficult to play games set in the chaotic environment of World War II, full of rough men shooting guns.
But she is very happy to play cards.
Finally, the three of them looked at Moonlit Dream.
But Moonlit Dream didn't respond.
Valiant Sniper then realized that Moonlit Dream was playing on the computer and might not notice this "gaze", so he asked, "Moonlit Dream, what about you?"
"What?" Moonlit Dream subconsciously asked, and then reacted, "Oh, you guys play first, I might be busy with something else."
"Something else?" Seven Flowers asked curiously, "Did a fan send you a haptic suit?"
"No."
Huan Yue shook his head, hesitatingly saying, "I seem to see the title of 【Honorary Player】 waving at me."
"! ! !"
Qi Huahua and Orange Juice instantly had several huge exclamation marks pop up on their foreheads!
They had envied Brave Sniper's 【Honorary Player】 title for a long time!
—And it wasn't just them; countless players of "Project Snowfall" were extremely envious of him!
Brave Sniper's backend receives hundreds, even thousands, of private messages every day, asking him how to obtain this title.
Many people explicitly stated their willingness to offer monetary rewards.
Brave Sniper once joked in his livestream: "As long as I put up a paid course online, titled [Tips and Tricks to Obtain the Dream Maker 【Honorary Player】 Title], selling it for a million or two wouldn't be difficult!"
"Then your reputation would be completely ruined, and Dream Maker would probably come looking for trouble too," the viewers retorted.
—Brave Sniper's old fans all knew that there were no real tricks to it; Dream Maker's staff had said it all depended on Xu Meng's mood.
But now, Huan Yue was actually saying that he had discovered an opportunity to get the title?
The viewers instantly got excited and rushed to Huan Yue's livestream to send gifts, hoping he would give them some pointers.
Huan Yue's first reaction was that he couldn't say.
Some things only work if you're the first to do them.
If everyone swarms to do it, what's the point?
"Everyone, stop sending gifts!" he advised, "I'm just guessing here; it's hard to say if it'll work, so don't waste your money."
But the viewers didn't buy it at all:
"What method? What method? What method?"
"Don't forget about your brothers when you have something good!"
"Don't worry about whether it's accurate or not; I'll try it first."
"What money? If you're really worried, why don't you pay for us?"
… …
Huan Yue thought about it; it seemed that ordinary viewers wouldn't be as crazy as him.
Plus, Orange Juice and Qi Huahua were also frantically sending him messages, so he simply opened up and said:
"I plan to take out 500,000 to host an online 'King of War' card game competition."
Orange Juice and Qi Huahua, who were frantically messaging Huan Yue, were stunned on the spot.
Tons of question marks appeared in all four livestreams at the same time:
"? ? ?"
"No, dude, 500,000?!"
"Is this the power of a whale?!?"
"What does this have to do with 【Honorary Player】?!?"
"If you give this 500,000 directly to Xu Meng, Xu Meng would give you the title, right?"
… …
The viewers couldn't understand.
Huan Yue didn't continue to explain, only saying, "I'll go prepare for a bit; if you're interested, you can pay attention to it.
If there are no accidents, I'll come up with a specific plan in a couple of days."
After saying that, he quickly went offline.
Brave Sniper, Qi Huahua, and Orange Juice all sent messages urging him to think twice.
500,000 was, after all, not a small number.
Huan Yue only replied, "Don't worry, don't worry; I'm thinking about it."
He said that, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind.
He had longed for this title for a long time.
As a whale in the gacha game world, his eyes were all on his virtual wives.
The happiness brought by stats was short-lived and limited, not as enjoyable as bragging with the viewers.
Therefore, after "Project Snowfall" was remade, he unhesitatingly jumped into the pit.
And after touching his virtual wife at the Cologne Game Show, he uninstalled all other side games from his phone that night.
From then on, in his heart, Dream Maker was no longer just a simple game company.
—This company actually wanted to make virtual wives for the players!
And they were virtual wives that could be seen, touched, and hugged!
And not just one!
But a continuous stream, almost one or two every month!
All of them were of explosively high quality!
Please, even the emperors of ancient times didn't have this kind of treatment!
Huan Yue had become 100% a die-hard fan of Xu Meng.
As long as Xu Meng didn't change his direction, Huan Yue would firmly support him!
He had always felt that a game streamer strongly binding themselves to a game company was a foolish and short-sighted behavior, a limitation on their own development space.
But now, he really wanted to be bound to Dream Maker!
Just like Brave Sniper!
He really wanted to!
At least not to the point where he couldn't even buy new equipment like this time.
So, how could he get this title?
Huan Yue's guess was: [Game Passion] and [Game Contribution].
Passion was abstract, but contribution could be quantified.
Dream Maker wasn't short of money now—they had already started selling hardware at a loss to expand their user base, obviously with explosively abundant cash flow.
Then the most valuable contribution would naturally be game popularity!
Mengjinli was full of posts looking for people to play cards with.
At this time, if he could organize an online bluffing competition, it would definitely greatly increase the popularity of this gameplay, and even the game "King of War"!
Wasn't that contribution big enough?!
As for 500,000…
During his peak period of playing gacha games, he played six gacha games at the same time, with two people fully dedicated to leveling up his accounts, spending 600,000 a month!
But now, he only had "Project Snowfall" left, and he had already exhausted the gacha pool.
Even if he emptied the entire store, it wouldn't cost much.
Usually, he couldn't even find a place to spend money.
Now, if he could exchange 500,000 for the 【Honorary Player】 title…
Then, for him, it would be a huge profit!
