Looking up, suddenly everything before Lin Ye’s eyes became very delicate and detailed.
He could clearly see the mottled marks on the rusted metal board.
He saw the figure coming out of the cover slowly as if a movie was being played in slow motion one frame at a time.
The 8X scope.
The red crosshairs.
The red dot in his vision looked like afterimages of flashing meteors, drawing a perfect path towards the last brilliant target.
Bullet Time!
Lin Ye was like a king that was in charge of all rules in this paused world. He could produce clouds with the turn of one hand and rain with another.
He estimated the distance between him and Sniper King Baixiao and raised his crosshairs. All these mechanics looked so precise yet carefree in this slowed-down world.
A shot…
Bang!
The barrel of Lin Ye’s 98K suddenly had bright sparks flying out.
The sparks were like a peacock flaunting its feathers, as the sparks slowly spread out from inside-out one bit at a time.
Time was slow, as if it was still.
Then, a 7.62mm orangey yellow bullet spun and dashed towards the other side of the bridge.
-On the screen-
The M24’s barrel on the opposite side didn’t have sparks flying out as a response until after the 7.62mm bullet from Lin Ye’s 98K went flying for a while.
That M24 shot was so much slower.
Wind howled as the bullets flew.
The next moment, the winner had been decided.
A clear and terrifying black bullet hole once again appeared in between the brows of Sniper King Baixiao, and blood gushed out.
Headshotted with one bullet!
…
Wheeze… wheeze… wheeze…
Heavy breathing.
The light in Lin Ye’s eyes suddenly disappeared. When he regained his consciousness, a kill notification had appeared on the top right corner of the screen.
“Linye headshotted douyu.Juwangbaixiao with a Kar98K.”
Highly accurate.
Headshotted with one bullet!
This sniper battle that was much anticipated finally ended with this shot from Lin Ye’s 98K.
One shot.
And the winner had been decided.
The moment when Sniper King Baixiao’s HP was evaporated by that 98K shot, his stream’s screen turned dark.
Grey.
Such terrifying grey.
…
In this sniper match, Sniper King Baixiao actually…
Lost?!
The viewers of Sniper King Baixiao’s stream didn’t know what to say at all when they saw Sniper King Baixiao’s screen go dark.
…
He lost…
He actually lost!
When Sniper King Baixiao’s M24 shot hit Lin Ye’s chest, the viewers of his stream thought that Sniper King Baixiao would crush Lin Ye in this sniper battle.
In their eyes, Sniper King Baixiao had a 99 percent chance of winning and barely could see any way he would lose.
Who could have thought that in less than a minute, Sniper King Baixiao would have lost completely?
First, Lin Ye blew apart his level 3 helmet. Then, he was instantly killed by Lin Ye’s 98K shot.
Meanwhile, the only damage that Sniper King Baixiao dealt to Lin Ye was the sneak attack that shot Lin Ye’s body.
This whole sniper battle was extremely one-sided.
Crushed.
Absolutely crushed.
Lin Ye dragged Sniper King Baixiao from the clouds and stomped him into the dust.
Quiet.
Silence.
Dead silence.
Sniper King Baixiao’s stream was empty of any bullet comments. He didn’t talk, but his expression grew gloomy and ugly.
He looked stiff.
Incredibly stiff.
Sniper King Baixiao did not know what expression to show right now.
He was stream sniping Lin Ye, but he still couldn’t obtain the victory in the sniper battle against Lin Ye?
Now…
Sniper King Baixiao was so livid that his face turned green and purple from time to time. He was filled with rage and hatred, but he didn’t know how to vent them.
“Lagging! It must be because Baixiao-sama was lagging. That’s why he lost to Lin Ye!”
“Yeah, yeah. Sniper King Baixiao is the solo champion. How could he lose to such a ridiculous little streamer?”
“Baixiao-sama, Baixiao-sama, you should go check if you forgot to turn on your internet accelerator.”
“Luck. It’s definitely luck. Baixiao-sama didn’t have a helmet on; it must be because Lin Ye was lucky and hit Baixiao-sama in the head.”
“Uh… is it really luck though? Lin Ye consecutively headshotted him three times with his 98K!”
“That previous commenter, get the f*ck out of here. Lin Ye either is too lucky, or he’s a cheater. Do you understand?”
“Don’t worry, Baixiao-sama. It’s nothing to be ashamed of losing to a cheater!”
“…”
After that dead silence, many of Sniper King Baixiao’s loyal fans started posting bullet comments to help Sniper King Baixiao find something to blame for losing.
…
Laggy internet, unlucky, his opponent was a cheater…
All sorts of excuses were posted, and it seemed like none of them was repeated!
Even Sniper King Baixiao thought so too!
“Hehe… hehe…” Sniper King Baixiao’s face turned slightly green, but he still had a gloomy smile on his face. He said, “Lin Ye’s great… Really great…”
“98K…”
“All three of his 98K shots hit my head. Even with the last shot, he fired before I left my cover completely…”
“Obviously, Lin Ye’s not only using an aimbot, he is also using a x-ray vision hack. This type of cheater can still stream on Douyu? This is a shame to our streaming community.”
Sniper King Baixiao no longer spoke strangely and hinted that Lin Ye was cheating. This time, he asserted in his stream that Lin Ye was a cheater.
His words were strong, and he was in turn waging a war with Lin Ye.
Under Sniper King Baixiao’s lead, his viewers were believing that Lin Ye was a cheater as they posted more and more bullet comments.
Those loyal fans of Sniper King Baixiao who had watched him for a long time obviously chose to believe in whatever he said. If their idol said Lin Ye was a cheater, then they’d go bark like wild dogs with no leashes.
Sniper King Baixiao’s fans were frustrated with how Sniper King Baixiao lost to Lin Ye. Their faces were red under rage.
All of a sudden, the number of malicious bullet comments about Lin Ye in Sniper King Baixiao’s stream grew exponentially.
Meanwhile, those who were Lin Ye’s fans started mocking the bullet comments about how Sniper King Baixiao lacked sportsmanship and was a sore loser in his stream.
“Hahaha, Sniper King? I heard you’re called Sniper King, but you’re such a little man. I’m laughing so hard!”
“You accuse someone of cheating just because you can’t beat him. You have such a narrow vision.”
“Embarrassing. You’re such an embarrassment. I don’t think you should continue to use sniper rifles because you couldn’t even win when our Smug Streamer threw away his level 3 helmet.”
“Yeah, yeah. You said so many big words before the sniper battle, but once the battle started, you couldn’t even touch him. Sucker!”
“Cheating? Cheating how? You don’t know anything, yet you’re trying to sway the public opinion?”
“Hahaha, Sniper King, Sniper King; you are such a sore loser. I’ll call you mouse king from now on!”
Sniper King Baixiao’s face turned gloomier when he saw these mocking bullet comments, and he punched the table with his fist, making a scary loud noise….
However…
He couldn’t do anything about it.
He lost.
He lost both the actual battle and his reputation!!
