CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47 ZHAO MING: I’M PROFESSIONAL, REALLY, TRUST ME!!!

"Wow, just updated and matched with such a high-ranking team."

"This isn’t going to end well."

Zhao Ming sighed dramatically.

He had already entered the game.

And upon entering the game... Zhao Ming also wore a mask?!

The comments were flooding the screen with [Authority Dog].

He was randomly assigned as the gunner for an MG42 machine gun, with a constructed defensive barrier in front of him. Zhao Ming lifted the machine gun, walked to the side for about ten meters, and set down the gun.

As he set down the machine gun, the original defense barrier materialized beneath it, Zhao Ming explained:

"That’s how it works."

"During the 20 seconds of preparation time."

"Players can take the machine gun, or bullets, shells, and items unique to their role, and choose where they want to set them down."

"The items in the original position will move to the current position."

"Limited to a 30-meter range."

"Let’s see other players’ positions."

Zhao Ming glanced around, his expression became peculiar.

The players chose all sorts of positions.

Some even clustered three fire points together, not to mention two mortar operators nearby, leaving a large area empty. This defense line, at first glance, was full of gaps, but...

The one-way firepower was definitely explosive.

Zhao Ming could already foresee what tricks would be played in this direction in the future...

At this moment.

The countdown for preparation ended.

The game officially began.

Far off on the sea, black dots of assault boats appeared, bombers started heading towards the Imperial beach garrison here.

The anti-aircraft guns on the beach began firing, bombs fell from the sky.

The Imperial Camp players got a real shock from the bombing.

The Imperial Camp’s viewpoint actually started earlier than the Allies’, why hadn’t they noticed being bombed like this before?

And after a brief aerial suppression.

The assault boats became larger in sight.

On one of the assault boats.

Reconnaissance Battalion Commander of Great Xia Federation’s Eastern Army, First Army Group, Third Composite Brigade.

Holding a telescope, observing the beach layout from a distance, then putting down the telescope and speaking to the soldiers on the assault boat:

"The fire points on the beach are fewer, but the layout is completely disrupted."

"The previously trained tactics can’t be used."

"It’s evident that it’s the players’ handiwork, the defense line is full of gaps, but some fire points are extremely concentrated."

"We must circumvent...."

Whoosh—

A piercing whistle suddenly broke through the air from the sky.

As Reconnaissance Battalion Commander and the soldiers on board, they instantly reacted:

"Jump!"

Without hesitation, all nine people jumped out.

This showed the soldiers’ response and action speed far surpassed the streamers.

Boom——!!!!

The assault boat was torn apart by the explosion, shockwaves surged outward.

Somewhere not far on the sea.

Splosh!

The Reconnaissance Battalion Commander of the Third Composite Brigade surfaced, a nearby assault boat rushed over, tossed a rope, the reconnaissance battalion commander grabbed it, and was pulled up by the soldiers on the assault boat.

The soldiers on the boat laughed cheekily:

"Battalion Commander, your luck is a bit off, huh."

The reconnaissance battalion commander was also a bit numb:

"What is this?"

"Firing from such a distance, and hit?!"

"Players and NPCs are different."

"Their thinking is too erratic."

"This doesn’t seem easy to fight, be careful everyone."

"I just observed, there’s a machine gun fire point alone on the east, let’s break through from there in a bit."

The others responded one after another:

"Understood."

On the beach defense front.

A player not far from Zhao Ming excitedly shouted while holding a shell:

"I hit! I hit!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Watching the struck assault boat, Zhao Ming couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

Man... even managed to hit that?

The live stream chat was full of comments like [Cap opened??].

Zhao Ming spoke up:

"The cap’s not opened, guys."

"Backend data is normal."

"This guy’s impressive, that’s purely.... luck."

"Alright."

"The assault boats are about to storm the beach, we need to get into position."

With that, Zhao Ming set up the machine gun, aiming at the assault boats rushing the beach, just about to pull the trigger:

"We...."

Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zhao Ming suddenly suffered a heavy blow to the head, his helmet flew off, followed by three bullets hitting his head and neck.

The screen instantly went black.

Then displayed the third-person view of Zhao Ming’s body collapsing.

In the live stream chat, Zhao Ming looked bewildered:

"I....?"

The viewers in the live stream were laughing to death.

[666, gifting a head at the start.]

[Laughing, standing straight on the machine gun point, you’re the first.]

[Everyone else is crouching behind, you’re standing, if they don’t shoot you, who will they shoot.]

[Haha, let’s start another round.]

Zhao Ming cleared his throat:

"I was too careless earlier and didn’t dodge."

"Mainly, I wanted to explain the game’s content to you."

"Let’s start another round."

Then he exited the interface and clicked to match again.

This time after matching, his role changed to gunner, but out of over twenty shots, none hit the target.

Zhao Ming was sweating profusely.

Darn... should have rigged the data to make it easier for myself.

Otherwise, it seems like I can’t play at all.

This time he did last a bit longer.

But the Imperial Garrison on the other side was playing too wildly.

The opposing camp’s B Army Group under the Antarctic Star Federation’s Special Forces Regiment soon launched an attack. Though they moved much faster than the previous 39th ranking, their casualties tripled.

Compared to the fixed nature of NPCs, the unpredictability of players was fully on display.

With so many casualties, it obviously did not meet expectations.

After this round ended.

The Antarctic Star Federation’s Special Forces Regiment quickly restarted the round.

As for Zhao Ming’s side.

They died even faster.

Several times, he was randomly assigned as a machine gunner or transport soldier.

Always inexplicably getting a headshot.

The viewers in the live stream couldn’t stop laughing at first, saying this was Zhao Ming’s karma for his mischief.

But with one viewer’s comment flashing by... everyone went silent.

[Do you think... this guy might not know how to play games? He designed this battlefield just to torture us?]

[....]

[....]

[No way, you really think so?!]

[Damn! When you put it like that... his performance was totally noob-like, doesn’t look like someone who’s played an FPS game.]

[Exactly! Damn! Who stands still with a machine gun like that?!]

[Damn! This old fox isn’t saying anything! What the hell?!]

[Ahhhh, this jerk?! No way, right?!]

[Holy crap!!]

[You bastard, come out and explain! Tell me this isn’t true!!!]

Behind countless phone screens, viewers who were just laughing were now all frozen.

Especially seeing Zhao Ming pretending to ignore the comments in the live stream.

Countless viewers gritted their teeth.

Already understood something, damn... turns out he can’t even play his own game.

What’s your main job then?!

In-game.

Zhao Ming operated with a composed expression, while his mind was flooded with system prompts.

[Emotion Value +666]

[Emotion Value....]

[Emotion Value....]

Was he performing that poorly?

Just played five games within an hour, and now he’s exposed?

No way.

If he keeps streaming, his reputation will be ruined!

Just as he thought this.

Snap!

The screen went black after the fifth game ended, Zhao Ming cleared his throat:

"After all, it’s the Federation Army, there are so many sharpshooters."

The viewers in the live stream didn’t plan to let him go.

[You bastard, explain why this game is so hard, did you even play it back then?!]

[Quick, say you’re a professional! Speak up!!!]

[We’ve been tortured so long, turns out it’s because you’re a noob (gritting teeth)?!]

[Mr. Zhao Ming, I’m your fan for thirty years, can I send you a gift?]

Zhao Ming cleared his throat, speaking immediately:

"Played it before?"

"Remove the word ’before,’ of course I have played it."

"Could I design such a game if I hadn’t played it before?"

"Professional? Of course professional."

"I’m really professional in making games."

"But... I am facing the Federation Army, they are also professional."

"You would die too if you were in it."

"No need to mail the fan gifts, just show them in the live stream."

"Celestial Shark will settle the bill for me."

"All right, all right, today’s stream has been an hour."

"I should finish the stream now."

"Welcome everyone to go online and experience our game ’World War II: Empire’s Rise’."

"Currently, the game is divided into two modes."

One is the immersive story experience, and the other is today’s stream of the[Normandy Landing]battlefield.

In the immersive story experience, you can experience the diversity of life, with more stories awaiting your exploration. In the[Normandy Landing]battlefield, you can feel the full sense of security brought by the Federation Army~

"Additionally."

"Since some players in the immersive story experience timeline have already reached after the Dunkirk Evacuation."

"In three days, a limited-time multiplayer online story event will be open."

"The[Battle of Britain]event."

"This is an event where all participating players can have their timeline synchronized in the story, allowing tens of thousands to experience the event together."

"Players whose story timeline in the game has passed the Dunkirk Evacuation can choose to participate."

"So, players who haven’t caught up in timeline can do so within these three days."

"And if you haven’t reached it, don’t worry, we will ensure all players can participate."

"The number of[Battle of Britain]story event copies will increase according to the players, slower progress players can choose to join later[Battle of Britain]and synchronize with other slower progress players."

"Stay tuned~"
