Lin Ye still wanted to win with dignity even in the face of the massive rewards of completing a hunt mission. He would not accept his opponent being weak and useless because of some disadvantages.
If I’m going to battle…
Then the battle will be legendary.
If I’m going to fight…
Then I’m going to fight righteously.
By winning that way, he would not feel conflicted and could be true to himself.
This was Lin Ye’s personality since he was a boy. He was a straight line – proud and overly confident, doing things according to his beliefs.
However, he sounded incredibly smug to his stream’s viewers.
Since you’re close to the blue zone, then I won’t take cover… In order to have a fair sniper match and not have one side have an overwhelming advantage…
What…
What is this strange thought process?!
An ordinary player would hope that their opponent only had a pistol and no protective equipment at all while they had an AWM and a Groza, a level 3 helmet, and a level 3 vest.
Absolute victory could be guaranteed with an absolute equipment advantage. One could crush their opponents this way.
But Lin Ye voluntarily discarded his advantages and tried to put himself in the same situation and condition as his opponent.
Smug.
Too smug.
To many viewers, Lin Ye’s actions showed that he could be limitlessly smug.
Before his viewers could ridicule and roast Lin Ye, he made another shocking move.
Before the eyes of all viewers, he calmly clicked open his inventory and threw his level 3 helmet to the ground.
He threw away his level 3 helmet.
He threw away a piece of protective equipment that can save him from dying from an M24 shot.
What…
What kind of godly move is this?
“F*ck! Streamer, do you want to die? Why are you throwing away your level 3 helmet?”
“Yeah, yeah. Your opponent has an M24. You might be headshotted and killed if you aren’t careful!”
“OMG. That’s Sniper King Baixiao who is merciless. Throwing away a level 3 helmet in a sniper battle; you don’t want to live anymore???”
“Bloody Mary! Streamer, this act of yours is too pretentious, no?”
“Smug Streamer, you’re so pretentious. Why don’t I call you pretentious-ko from now on?”
“Hahaha, hurry up and bring my halberd over… I’m going to peel an apple with it for the streamer!”
Lin Ye’s stream’s viewers were all in shock and did not understand why Lin Ye threw away his level 3 helmet.
A level 3 helmet was extremely important during a sniper battle.
Even when a level 3 helmet was all red, many players would still choose to wear it in when they play. That was because a level 3 helmet could still withstand a 7.62mm bullet from a bolt-action sniper rifle as long as it had a tiny bit of durability left.
Having a level 3 helmet meant an extra life.
Moreover, the level 3 helmet that Lin Ye threw away had full durability, so if his opponent were to shoot him with an M24 if he had this helmet on, he would need to be hit twice before the helmet would explode.
Little Bear couldn’t help but gasp after seeing Lin Ye throw away his level 3 helmet, “Hey, hey, hey. Do you truly want a sniper battle with Sniper King Baixiao like this?!!!!!!”
Little Bear’s bullet comment had many exclamation marks and the golden font; it attracted a ton of attention.
Little Bear suspected something after seeing Lin Ye’s actions, but she thought it was too bizarre and couldn’t believe it.
If that is the case…
Then this guy was saying what he thought and wasn’t trying to act pretentious?!
That’s crazy!
Lin Ye glanced at Little Bear’s bullet comment and calmly responded, “I told you guys before. I want to give him a fair opportunity in the sniper battle…”
“Sniper King Baixiao doesn’t have a level 3 helmet anymore, then I wouldn’t need mine.”
“A man should keep his words.”
“Fairness. Honest fairness.”
“If I’m going to win, I want him to admit defeat willingly.”
Lin Ye knew through his stream’s bullet comments a long time ago that Sniper King Baixiao was trying to sway the public opinion on him in his stream. He also knew how distasteful and vicious Sniper King Baixiao’s words were.
That was why he was going to kill Sniper King Baixiao even if the System didn’t publish the hunt mission.
…
Lin Ye had been through many big events, so he didn’t take Sniper King Baixiao seriously… However…
He had to win back his dignity.
He had to kill this person.
It was never too late for a man of virtue to take his revenge. However, if someone were to cross Lin Ye, he would think waiting ten minutes was too long!
Kill!
I will kill you!
Kill!
High-spirited!
Another wave of dense “6666” bullet comments floated by in his stream right after he finished talking. It was rather impressive to look at.
Obviously, the viewers in his stream were conquered by Lin Ye’s pretentious and domineering actions. Many even started to admire him.
If I say I’m going to kill you, then I’m going to kill you.
Kill!
I’ll even kill you fair and square so that you will admit defeat willingly and be convinced.
This…
Is too manly!
Too strong!
Too domineering!
Who can withstand this?
Those who had just entered Lin Ye’s stream were all conquered by Lin Ye’s wonderful performance. They all obediently clicked the follow button and pinned Lin Ye’s stream to the top of their bookmarks.
I haven’t seen someone like this all my life…
It is the first time I saw a Douyu streamer being so domineering and so pretentious!
Incredible!
So f*cking incredible!
Lin Ye stood in the center of an empty road. He raised the 98K in his hand and locked onto Sniper King Baixiao’s location. As soon as Sniper King Baixiao looked up, he would be struck with thunder-like bullets.
The first shot…
Lin Ye was hit by Sniper King Baixiao’s sneak attack, and a bullet hole appeared in his level 3 vest.
Then, he gave a wonderful performance with his 98K and destroyed Sniper King Baixiao’s level 3 helmet with two shots, redeeming everything he lost.
98K vs. M24
Lin Ye vs. Sniper King Baixiao!
Right now, both didn’t have a level 3 helmet to protect them. As long as one of them was hit by a sniper rifle in the head, then that person would die immediately.
However, unlike Lin Ye who voluntarily gave up his advantageous position, Sniper King Baixiao’s level 3 helmet was destroyed by two shots from Lin Ye’s 98K.
They were dancing on the tip of knives. In the next sniping match, neither one of them could make any mistakes.
Because as soon as a bullet hit the head, then one of them would die instantly.
This was a battle between snipers. Life and death were only separated by a thin line.
Lin Ye set up his gun in the middle of an open road. He was calm and composed as if he didn’t care about this extremely thrilling sniper match at all.
However, Sniper King Baixiao was not as carefree.
Two 98K shots, and the level 3 helmet shattered. Regardless of how cocky and stubborn Sniper King Baixiao sounded, he was in a disadvantaged position, and now his fear of Lin Ye was rising.
Since Lin Ye’s 98K sounded, he was completely suppressed by Lin Ye during this sniper match.
If he couldn’t kill Lin Ye today while so many viewers were watching, it would be incredibly embarrassing for him.
Face was as important to man as the bark was to the tree.
If he were counter killed by Lin Ye, then Sniper King Baixiao would completely lose face in front of everyone.
…
Especially when Sniper King Baixiao saw through his cell phone screen that Lin Ye took off his level 3 helmet and casually threw it onto the ground…
He felt like he was being stomped on and humiliated…
…
Scorned, disdained, and ignored…
Sniper King Baixiao seemed to feel that Lin Ye didn’t treat him as an equal-level sniper from the very start!
Being disregarded like this made Sniper King Baixiao, who was proud and arrogant, incredibly angry.
Ever since he got famous, no one had looked at him with such disdain before.
…
Throwing away the level 3 helmet…
Who the f*ck do you think you are looking down at?
His eyes burst with anger as his heart was filled with rage; Sniper King Baixiao felt like his heart was going to explode. If he couldn’t destroy this Cheater Lin Ye, he probably wouldn’t be able to sleep for several nights!
He began moving and instantly sniping.
Under endless rage, Sniper King Baixiao’s condition and performance went to his peak.
His mechanics became incredibly smooth. A move and an instant snipe; he unleashed bullets toward Lin Ye’s location crazily.
Sniper King Baixiao’s instant snipe was incredibly fast. As soon as he looked up, a bullet came out of his M24 before his vision on the screen could be displayed clearly.
Then, regardless of whether he hit or not, he took cover so that Lin Ye couldn’t have the opportunity to aim at him.
It had to be mentioned that even though such instant snipes had an incredibly low hit rate, it was the safest way to protect the shooter.
Every time he moved, he instantly sniped. Regardless of whether he hit Lin Ye or not, he immediately took cover.
After the sudden movement, he was able to take cover in less than two-thirds of a second.
Plus, there was a distance of 200 meters between the two. Such quick snipes didn’t leave Lin Ye any chance to shoot at him and kill him.
Moving, moving, and kept on moving.
Sniper King Baixiao didn’t care about his hit rate; he only cared about his safety.
Sniper King Baixiao was now playing cowardly after Lin Ye’s two 98K headshots.
Sniper King Baixiao did not dare to face Lin Ye directly and battle.
Even when Lin Ye voluntarily discarded his level 3 helmet, Sniper King Baixiao changed his sniper battle playstyle; he was being extremely cunning and dirty…
Cunning and dirty…
That was because Lin Ye had completely suppressed him using his sniper’s aura.
Sniper King Baixiao did not have the courage to face Lin Ye and have a direct sniper battle even when Lin Ye gave up his level 3 helmet so that they could fight as equals.
Sniper King Baixiao, with his M24 in hand, bet everything on the Goddess of Fortune to kill Lin Ye.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The bullets crossed each other’s paths in the air.
The roars of the 98K and the M24 continuously broke the silence on the steel bridge.
Aiming down the scope.
Shooting and ejecting the shell.
The two repeated the same movements with a distance of 200 meters in between them.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
One after another, 7.62mm bullets came flying through the air. However, neither of them had blood spilling out of them.
Sniper King Baixiao missed all four times with his M24 while Lin Ye also missed four times with his 98K.
Behind Sniper King Baixiao was a metal board. On the metal board, four black bullet holes had now appeared.
Each bullet hole symbolized that Sniper King Baoxiao had survived another time while he was so close to death.
In reality, if Sniper King Baixiao had not been playing so cunningly and dirty in this sniper battle, he would have died under Lin Ye’s 98K long ago.
It was an extreme sniper match, like dancing on blades.
Both of them did not have the protection of a level 3 helmet. As long as either one of them were headshotted, he would drop dead.
The atmosphere was tense and made it hard to breathe.
Instantly, the two streams’ atmospheres turned serious. Many viewers started breathing harder and faster.
“Exciting. Too exciting! I haven’t seen such an exciting match in a long time!”
“Ahahaha, Smug Streamer’s incredible. He’s beating and stomping Sniper King Baixiao!”
“Smug Streamer gave up his level 3 helmet and still is beating Sniper King Baixiao. Smug Streamer is quite something…”
“I thought Sniper King Baixiao was really strong, but why does he look so weak in front of Smug Streamer…”
“Yeah, yeah. I feel the same!”
There were many viewers in Lin Ye’s stream that were good players themselves. They saw how the situation was with this sniper battle; Lin Ye was beating Sniper King Baixiao’s butt.
Sniper King Baixiao was crazily arrogant before, but he became a coward under the suppression of Lin Ye’s 98K and didn’t even have the courage for a straightforward shootout.
Crushing…
It was like breaking a dead branch…
Sniper King Baixiao lost in both presence and performance…
However, after the fourth quick snipe, a strange smile appeared on Sniper King Baixiao’s face.
I’m going to win…
He felt that he had the chance to win.
…
Four snipes at each other meant four bullets…
That meant there was only one bullet left inside Lin Ye’s weapon!
98K
A 98K could only hold five bullets. This was something even noobs knew about, so of course Sniper King Baixiao knew about this.
M24…
Meanwhile, Sniper King Baixiao’s M24 had an extended quickdraw mag, so his weapon could hold seven bullets. This meant that…
He still had three more bullets left!
98K
After the next snipe, Lin Ye would finish using the bullets in his 98K and wouldn’t have any ability to shoot back for a while.
Meanwhile, Sniper King Baixiao still had three more opportunities to headshot Lin Ye.
These three shots were sufficient for him to win.
It was all because he found Lin Ye’s weak point.
The sixth bullet will determine the outcome of this battle!
That was why Sniper King Baixiao wanted to use his cunning and dirty playstyle for the fifth time; he wanted to quickly move and snipe before taking cover to trick Lin Ye in firing his last bullet.
“Hehe, let me see you jump again, and you’ll soon taste regret.”
Lin Ye threw away his level 3 helmet, giving Sniper King Baixiao a chance to kill him with one shot.
As long as Sniper King Baixiao could hit Lin Ye’s head with one bullet, then he would reverse the situation and win!
Many smarter viewers in Lin Ye’s stream realized that Lin Ye was in a dangerous situation.
“F*ck! I saw in Sniper King Baixiao’s stream that he seems to have an extended mag on his M24!”
“Ah!? An extended mag? Then isn’t that bad?!”
“It’s over! It’s over! Smug Streamer only has one bullet left. If he misses again, then it’s really over.”
“F*ck! Isn’t Sniper King Baixiao too cunning and dirty? He is doing everything to win!”
“Ah. I have a feeling that Smug Streamer will fall into demise because of his own pretentiousness…”
The last bullet would determine life and death…
Many viewers realized that Lin Ye was already in a dangerous position. If his next shot missed, then there would be nowhere to run, since he was in the middle of the road.
He would have no helmet, no cover, and no bullets…
How could he escape from Sniper King Baixiao’s M24 in such a situation?
It is over!
The streamer is going to experience karma for being too pretentious!
Many viewers thought that Lin Ye didn’t live up to their expectations. If only he didn’t throw away his level 3 helmet! How great would that be?
Moving.
A final move.
Sniper King Baixiao’s movements were so fast that he didn’t even open his scope.
Right now, he just wanted to shoot randomly to trick Lin Ye to use his last bullet. Then, he would be able to reverse the situation in the most critical moment and kill Lin Ye, announcing the return of a king.
This was such a wonderful plot with extreme ups and downs. This would make his stream’s viewers give him many gifts.
Perfect.
Too perfect.
Everything is so perfect.
Sniper King Baixiao finally smiled. He seemed to be able to see Lin Ye dying from his M24 and then the scene of his stream being flooded with gifts and bullet comments!
He started moving.
– In a flash –
Sniper King Baixiao finally reappeared in Lin Ye’s vision.
He had quickly looked out.
Sniper King Baixiao even tried to take cover at the same time as he pulled the trigger.
He was being cautious.
He wouldn’t leave a single chance for Lin Ye to kill him.
…
However…
Lin Ye smiled in contempt when he saw Sniper King Baixiao moving again.
“Initiate Bullet Time!”
“It’s time to end this hunt.”
Lin Ye’s calm voice sounded in his stream.
He lightly pulled the trigger with his fingertip…
Bang!
The sound of the 98K gunshot echoed loudly!
