Agreed to make bad games, What the Hell is Titan Fall 97
by admin## Chapter 97: “Horse Racing”
On one side, the Eggplant Winter Melon Squad played with unrestrained enthusiasm, their live stream filled with gifts and lively chatter. Meanwhile, on the other side, the live stream of Ma Lao Shi, another prominent Shark streamer for the day, was even more explosive!
Compared to Eggplant, whose performance fluctuated, Ma Lao Shi was all about stability! He consistently managed to land a plane every ten minutes!
“Yo—little boss, Li Pi? Li Pi to the max…”
The sound of bullets striking the jeep was constant, a symphony of dings and dongs. As the jeep sustained more and more hits, the front hood began to catch fire. Ma Lao Shi, perched on the small hill, knew that the jeep would explode if he kept taking hits. He acted swiftly, pushing the car door open and leaping out with a smooth, fluid motion.
Without hesitation, he drew his rifle from his back, assuming a standard shooting stance and firing back towards the direction of the bullets.
Da-da-da! Da-da-da-da-da—
Flames erupted from the gun barrel, spewing out hot shell casings. The jeep, left without brakes, rolled down the small hill, while Ma Lao Shi used it as cover, maneuvering and firing on the move.
He moved like a tank, shooting with grace, drawing gasps of awe from his viewers. Seeing the comments in the chat, Ma Lao Shi chuckled proudly.
“This is called improvisation, see? You need to always be aware of all the usable cover in the battlefield,” he explained as the jeep continued to roll down the hill.
The sudden change in elevation forced Ma Lao Shi to scramble to catch up, his commentary continuing: “Like right now, we could use this jeep’s momentum—“
But before he could finish!
A loud clang reverberated. It seemed the jeep had hit a rock, the body jolting violently.
It veered sharply, making a U-turn, and the jeep’s rear end rammed directly into Ma Lao Shi!
“Whoa!”
Ma Lao Shi let out a yelp!
A muffled thud followed.
Don!
The next second, Ma Lao Shi, who was just moments ago confidently explaining his strategy, was suddenly launched into the air, like a ragdoll, sent flying by the jeep.
[You ran over yourself with a vehicle.]
The chat exploded in laughter!
‘Pwahahahahahaha!’
‘What the… Ma Lao Shi, that’s too good!’
‘Woke up too hard, saw the car and went butt-first!’
‘Live stream genius’
‘So, the jeep, while in motion, suddenly changes direction, turns around, and kills me with a triangle move (dog head)’
‘That’s just the Ma-style spin’
‘Damn, I’m laughing too hard! That’s the worst way to die, hahahaha’
‘Beyond belief…’
‘Epic, it has to be epic, a classic for the ages’
‘I was about to fall asleep, and this woke me up, hahahaha…’
‘…’
The audience roared with laughter. Ma Lao Shi himself couldn’t hold back a laugh.
“Hehehe—what a death! It’s so frustrating—“
Gifts flew across his live stream.
But Ma Lao Shi remained in high spirits.
After all, in the hour he’d been streaming, he’d already jumped from the plane over ten times. Each death was unique, and the audience could tell Ma Lao Shi wasn’t trying to manufacture a show — he was genuinely bad.
After a quick tidy up!
Ma Lao Shi boarded the plane once again.
The fish ball betting pool opened simultaneously, guessing whether the streamer could last more than ten minutes this time.
Whum—whoosh—
Soon!
When the plane reached the top of P City, Ma Lao Shi seized the opportunity and leaped out.
He plummeted rapidly, adjusted his direction, and deployed his parachute close to the ground.
Though his shooting and maneuverability were a bit rough, it was undeniable that his parachute skills had undergone substantial training through his abnormally high number of re-entries.
The audience couldn’t help but express their amazement:
‘Ma Lao Shi’s parachute game is on point’
‘Thank you, while other players are still in the air, Ma Lao Shi has already landed’
‘He’s truly an extreme athlete’
‘It’s hard to imagine what level of parachute mastery Ma Lao Shi could reach if he kept this up all night’
‘Hahahahaha, you guys are so savage’
‘The key is that he lands in this building in P City every time, it feels like he’s developed muscle memory’
‘He’s landed precisely again, Ma Lao Shi is awesome, way more reliable than Eggplant and that bunch of clowns’
‘Missing the first day of Eggplant crying and Ma Lao Shi laughing’
‘Hahahahaha…’
However!
Just as the audience marveled at Ma Lao Shi’s exceptional parachute skills that allowed him to reach P City first and secure a good position to loot, a new sound reached their ears!
Plump!
Suddenly!
A parachute landing sound came from the other side of the rooftop, synchronized with Ma Lao Shi’s!
“Yo—?”
Not just the audience, even Ma Lao Shi was taken aback!
He thought his parachute landing was unrivaled, but it turned out someone else was on his level. Whose subordinate could this be?
He looked up!
He saw a female player with twin pigtails landing simultaneously nearby. She rolled forward, grabbing a S686 double-barreled shotgun from the ground.
Before Ma Lao Shi could react!
She fired two shots at him!
Bang! Bang!
The shotgun, commonly known as a “spray” by players, has immense close-range damage, especially the S686.
At this range, even with armor, a chest shot could directly kill.
However!
Just when Ma Lao Shi thought he was about to be boxed!
A reloading sound rang out.
He opened his eyes and saw the twin-tailed girl awkwardly stuffing bullets into the barrel.
He then checked his health bar — not a drop of HP was missing.
Ma Lao Shi was overjoyed!
There was another player even worse than him!
He immediately strode over, picked up the S12k shotgun lying next to him, and chambered a round with a click: “Ohoho—little boss, done playing? My turn now?”
Thump-thump-thump-thump-thump!
Five bullets from the magazine were fired in succession, the gun muzzle bouncing left and right, billowing smoke.
When the smoke cleared, the twin-tailed girl was still standing, her HP full!
In a moment!
Both players were stunned!
Then, they jumped in unison, twisting their bodies to reload and shoot!
For a moment, the rooftop was a cacophony of gunshots, two figures chasing each other, circling the only short wall on the rooftop for cover!
Bang! Bang!
Thump-thump-thump-thump-thump!
Click-click—
Bang! Bang!
Thump-thump-thump-thump-thump!
Click-click—
The chat was dumbfounded!
‘Huh??’
‘I love what PUBG players say — huh?’
‘Neck and neck! Equally matched opponents!’
‘My turn now (meaning it’s my turn to show off my Ma-gun)’
‘Turns out players who land so fast do have some skill after all’
‘Indeed, but only two brushes, never touched a gun’
‘Horse Racing’
‘Even Bole would have to say “good horse”’
‘Xiao Fugui would have to say “so bad”’
‘I can’t take it anymore—“
‘Too much, you’re growing rice in my mouth!’
‘That’s ridiculously good for eating, hahahaha’
‘Damn, my rice cooker started cooking on its own!’
‘This match isn’t bland, two master chefs are cooking a delicious show!’
‘New year is in January, the first day of the new year (dancing)’
‘What kind of duets?’
‘Help! I’m going to die of laughing, grass’
‘Hahahahaha…’
This outrageous scene set the chat on fire!
Too Ma!
The two players engaged in a dance of death for half a minute!
They battled until the heavens darkened, leaving players passing by downstairs to stare in awe and fear, thinking there were at least seven or eight people fighting inside the building!
Finally! As Ma Lao Shi’s last bullet from his final magazine was fired!
Thump!
The twin-tailed girl finally fell to the ground, turning into a little square box.
“Whew—“
Ma Lao Shi looked at the smoking barrel of his S12K and let out a sigh of relief: “Good thing I’m more skilled!”
Just as he was about to loot the body!
A childlike female voice came through the public channel, laced with admiration: “Wow—your movement is so cool, can you teach me? I’m a streamer! I can get you on TV!”
The girl’s voice had a hint of Hunan accent, making her sound both cute and funny.
Ma Lao Shi was taken aback by the girl’s words, looking at his live stream with millions of viewers, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Really? What’s your name? I’ll check out your live stream.”
“Search ‘Little Rice Ball’ on Shark!”
The girl said confidently: “I’m still a new streamer now, but I’m sure I’ll be super popular later.”
“If you become my master now, you’ll have a bright future, I’m telling you—“
Ma Lao Shi was amused by the Rice Ball’s words and was about to introduce himself.
Ma Lao Shi was an honest person.
But the viewers in the chat were bursting with enthusiasm!
‘Take her! Take her! Take her!’
‘Ma Lao Shi, don’t say who you are! That’s the perfect opportunity for the show!’
‘Holy crap! This is my favorite “act like a pig and eat the tiger” moment!’
‘One set of rockets, please don’t say who you are, I beg you’
‘Thank you, boss, you’re so generous!’
‘Hush money, what the!’
‘Yanzi Ge is awesome, hahahaha…’
The chat exploded, prompting Ma Lao Shi to realize the situation. He nodded: “Thanks—a set of rockets from Ma Lao Shi’s Pi Yanzi, thank you, boss.”
He then opened the public channel again: “I checked your live stream just now, and I think you have a lot of potential. Okay, let’s team up outside, Grass Snake won’t let you down, alright.”
“Yay!”
At the same time, Rice Ball cheered in her own live stream:
“I have a master now!”
She had actually been streaming for almost a year, mainly focusing on League of Legends, her stream always lukewarm, with usually fewer than 100 viewers.
When PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds came out, Rice Ball saw its popularity and immediately applied to the official platform to switch to the PUBG section. It was essentially a fresh start for her, joining the new streamer recruitment campaign.
However, her gaming talent wasn’t the best, and she had experienced the malice of the second-generation FPS battle royale game firsthand.
She jumped from the plane countless times, only to be boxed over and over again. It seemed that everyone here was better than her.
But Rice Ball didn’t give up, she kept getting back on the flight, regaining her composure after each death.
She also sought out a master who could teach her how to play in the game.
But it seemed everyone was busy and didn’t have time to bother with a small streamer like her, whose live stream was always empty. Some even hurled insults at her.
And this time!
She finally found a kind player.
Even though this person’s gunplay was not ideal either, in Rice Ball’s eyes, being able to kill her meant that this man was already better than her!
“Heehee, I have a master now! I have someone to take me under their wing~”
Rice Ball was happy.
She didn’t even notice that the viewership of her live stream had jumped from under 500 to over 100,000 in the blink of an eye, and it was still climbing at an astonishing rate.
…
Soon!
They formed a team!
The audience was going wild with anticipation!
Two top-tier golden chefs, both wielding shotguns, using close to fifty shots at ten meters to determine the winner in their rooftop showdown!
The effect of their joint livestream was simply unimaginable!
‘The ultimate combo!’
‘Can’t wait to see the explosion of effects!’
‘This combo, I’d call it the strongest on all platforms!’
‘What the! Ma Lao Shi’s live stream viewership is already at 50 million! Awesome!’
‘Damn, don’t all go over there, Rice Ball’s live stream viewership is close to 500,000, it’ll be a big explosion soon’
‘Start quickly! My meal is ready! I only ordered rice today, I’m relying on you two to make it delicious!’
‘The strongest live stream electronic pickled vegetables!’
‘I’ve already started recording, it’s all about the aftertaste…’
‘You guys are insane, hahahaha…’
With the world eagerly watching!
The pair formed a team and boarded the plane.
Whum-whum—
The familiar roar of the plane engine filled the air again. Rice Ball looked at her Grass Snake master, feeling at ease:
“Master! Where should we land?”
This time, the plane’s flight path was slightly skewed, closer to the southwest, no longer the P City route they were familiar with.
Ma Lao Shi pondered for a moment and marked a small cluster of houses south of P City: “We’ll land here first, loot some equipment, and then go into P City, plan our big move!”
“Okay—!!!”
Rice Ball nodded:
“I’ll listen to my master!”
Having said that!
The two locked eyes and jumped out of the plane without hesitation.
Their postures were elegant, their movements skilled, it was undeniable that the pair were practically unbeatable in the parachute game.
Whis-whis—
They dived towards the small cluster of houses.
However, to their surprise, there were two other players flying towards the same cluster of houses, not far from them.
Then, a voice from another group of players came through the public channel: “We’re taking this cluster of houses, you better scram, or we’ll send you on your next flight.”
Taking the cluster of houses to ambush the main city was a common tactic for cowardly players.
It was clear that the player duo next to Ma Lao Shi and his apprentice had the same idea.
But they seemed too confident, completely unaware of what kind of beings were on the same parachute route as them!
“Cut it out!”
Rice Ball’s voice of disdain, a child’s voice, echoed in the air: “You should be saying that to yourselves, I’m telling you! My master and I are awesome!”
“Hahaha, you’re so naive—“
The duo in the background burst into laughter: “Kid, I’m telling you! We’re the two brothers, the Errengge Wild Kings, we’re unstoppable in the wild. Just give us a gun, and we can take down all the small clusters of houses. What’s your secret weapon?”
As soon as those words were out, Ma Lao Shi cupped his hands in a fist gesture in the air: “Oh? So, you’re the Errengge Wild Kings? My respects! I’ve heard tales of your reputation, that one gun is all you need to conquer the wild, but the prerequisite is—”
“That you actually get a gun?”
With that, Ma Lao Shi chuckled and accelerated in the air again, diving straight towards the ground!
Rice Ball, by his side, followed her master like a fish gliding through the water!
What the?!
The Errengge Wild Kings were dumbfounded.
Were these two crazy?
They were about to hit the ground, but instead of opening their parachutes, they were accelerating towards the ground!
Fight for a gun?
You need to be alive to do that!
For a moment, the Errengge Wild Kings panicked and couldn’t help but shout: “You’re crazy! You think you can get a gun like that? At this speed, you won’t even be able to open your parachute!”
As they said those words, the two Wild Kings were afraid, afraid to gamble their lives against Ma Lao Shi and his apprentice. They all opened their parachutes, slowing their descent towards the ground.
It seemed, in their minds, these two were as good as dead.
But the next second!
Just as Ma Lao Shi and his apprentice were about to crash!
Whum—! Whum—!
Two parachutes suddenly blossomed open!
The canopies only paused in the air for a second, before retracting above the rooftop of the cluster of houses!
The precise timing of their parachute deployment gave Ma Lao Shi and Rice Ball absolute control!
Whis-whis—
As the canopies automatically retracted!
A man and a woman stood on the rooftop, one holding an assault rifle, the other a shotgun!
Their gun muzzles!
Pointed directly at the Wild King duo who were still floating in the air!
“Hey? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey—!!!”
At this point!
The Wild King duo, still floating in the air, finally realized who they were trying to steal a house from!
They were indeed skilled marksmen, but as Ma Lao Shi said—
You have to have a gun to be good with a gun.
The next second!
Ma Lao Shi let out a mischievous laugh: “Yoho—little boss, you’re in—trouble—“
The gunshots rang out from the cluster of houses!
Da-da-da-da-da—
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Wild King duo’s desperate cries of rage filled the sky, along with the rapid fire:
“Shameless! Dishonorable! You have guts, let me get a gun!”
“You’re going to be court-martialed for shooting paratroopers!”
“You’re not playing fair, ah, ah, ah—grass!”
