Chapter 35.2 - New teammates
At the same time, St. Romia Military Academy.
After Luo Fei exited the zombie siege secret realm, he was about to go offline when a system alarm suddenly sounded in his ears: “You have a new friend request message.”
A friend request?
Luo Fei opened the message in confusion. It was actually sent by the player “Hunter” who he killed in nightmare mode just now. The message was just a simple sentence: “Your skills aren’t bad. Add me, why don’t we solo PK?”
Luo Fei: “…”
Is this door-to-door provocation?
Of course Luo Fei wouldn’t give in. He squinted his eyes, and immediately accepted the PK invitation, which pulled him directly into a map for a two person duel.
A two-person map is not as complicated as team maps. The map is only the size of a park, no wild spawns will attack, and players do not need to find equipment either. On this kind of map, players will automatically get 100,000 gold coins to buy their favorite equipment and loadout.
The goal of the game is simple: kill the opponent.
As soon as the game started, Luo Fei bought a sniper rifle, a pistol, a dagger, several flash bombs, grenades, and a lot of bullets as quickly as possible.
Due to the limited number of coins, players have to consider tactics when choosing equipment. Luo Fei didn’t choose a submachine gun, because this kind of gun is suitable for heavy fire suppression in group battles. In a single player match, against a powerful sniper, this kind of gun is useless.
This map is called Transport Ship, an abandoned ship floating in the sea with many crates piled around.
When the game started, Luo Fei quickly moved to the back of a crate, squatted down, and moved rhythmically with the crates as cover.
Suddenly there was a loud “boom” in his ear – the sound of a grenade exploding. Obviously, the other party has guessed his route and is trying to force him out with a grenade.
Naturally, Luo Fei would not do what his opponent wanted, so he threw a flash bomb in the direction of the sound with his backhand. The dazzling white light blinded the map, and Luo Fei took advantage of the other party’s loss of vision to quickly move to the top of the cabin, occupying a vantage point.
What followed was a constant shooting exchange. Luo Fei couldn’t clearly judge where his opponent was, and couldn’t be killed either.
The two started a guerrilla war of chasing and hiding on the small transport ship. After nearly ten minutes, there was still no result.
At this time, Luo Fei also realized that his opponent is very strong.
He has received professional training since he was a child, and is very clear about the sounds, speed, and ammo of various firearms, but the other party seems to be as familiar as he was. When to change firearms, when to hide and move, the two had a tacit understanding, and a winner couldn’t be decided after ten minutes of fighting.
But this ship was about to be bombed and sunk by the two of them.
After another five minutes, Luo Fei said flatly: “If this continues until the ship sinks, we still won’t be able to determine a winner. How about this, when the game clock hits the 16th minute, both of us will come out at the same time and whoever has the faster marksmanship will win.”
The other party said: “Okay.”
At this time, the clock was 15:55. Five seconds later, Luo Fei poked his head out from his hiding place, and the opponent popped up not far away.
Almost instantly, the two opened up and shot at the same time–
Bang! Bang!
The sharp sound of two bullets broke through the air. Luo Fei’s Mr. F was hit by the bullet and fell to the ground, and the player named Hunter was shot in the head.
The system calculated and then popped up the result – Draw.
The system judged it as a tie, that is to say, they both shot and killed each other at the same time?
This is rare. At first, Luo Fei still cared about him shooting Mo Han, but now, he admired him a little. He couldn’t help smiling and commenting: “Your reaction isn’t bad.”
Hunter said: “You aren’t bad either.”
Luo Fei said: “Add a friend? We can team together if there’s a chance.”
“Okay.”
After being friends, players can view each other’s information. Once again, the two opened up the player page in tacit agreement, and Luo Fei almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Why does “Hunter” have the same face as his indifferent and arrogant roommate, Ludwig?
Luo Fei was stunned for a long time, and finally realized that it should be Ludwig himself.
As the son of General Michael he has received special training in firearms and martial arts since he was a child, similar to Luo Fei’s experience. No wonder his reaction is as sharp as his.
It’s just that when he entered the game, he directly loaded his appearance, just like Mo Han, Frank and others, instead of using a system default like Luo Fei.
Therefore, Luo Fei recognized him at a glance, but he didn’t know who Luo Fei was.
Luo Fei suddenly found it a little funny. While it was coincidence to meet his roommate in the game, he had no plan to say anything for the time being. He was also very curious about how Ludwig, who had an iceberg face all day long, would behave in the game.
***
The next morning, when Ludwig was having breakfast in the dining room, he saw the First Prince looking at him with a smile. Frowning with some doubts, he said coldly, “Morning.”
Luo Fei went to sit beside him and asked with a smile, “Did you sleep well last night?”
Ludwig: “Okay.”
Luo Fei knew that he didn’t sleep well, because it was already three o’clock in the morning when the two of them finished the solo match. They both got up at seven o’clock today and only slept for four hours.
However, they have all experienced sleep deprivation training since they were young, and are still full of energy even if they only had four hours of rest.
Luo Fei didn’t say anything more, put on his military uniform, and arrived at the training area with Ludwig.
Today’s training requirements are more stringent than yesterday. Luo Fei had to try his best to ensure that he passed smoothly every day, otherwise he would be left behind to face more severe punishment from the instructor.
The students in the class have slimmed down a circle in the past few days, and the physical training has almost reached the limit that human beings can bear.
But such hell-style training can indeed temper people’s will.
Although he’s very tired every day, Luo Fei found that his consciousness has remained absolutely clear, and his judgment on many things is more accurate than before. Moreover, after going through this training, his demeanor gradually resembled a real imperial soldier.
He felt that he was changing, and this change made him happy.
He is only eighteen years old, and knows very clearly in his heart that he still has a long way to go. He wants to mature as soon as possible, successfully graduate, and become a truly responsible man. Only in this way can he protect the person he likes and protect his country.
***
In the next few days, Luo Fei obviously noticed that his training had increased, but didn’t raise any objections. The instructor making things more difficult should be due to his father’s instructions. He gritted his teeth and persisted, successfully completing everything, which caused even the strict devil instructor to praise him.
Although he was exhausted, Luo Fei would still log in and play an hour of Law of the Jungle every day.
During the closed special training period of the military academy, students are not allowed to leave the academy, so he couldn’t see Mo Han at all.
However, he can see Mo Han in the game.
This is the happiest thing every day.
That night, Luo Fei logged into the game, and received an invitation from Mo Han as soon as he went online.
He joined the team without hesitation, only to see that besides Frank and Mo Han, there was a newcomer named “Genius” in the team.
Who would choose such a name?
Luo Fei asked suspiciously, “Who is Genius?”
Mo Han said, “A friend from school.”
Luo Fei entered the secret realm and saw that his eyes almost fell out this time – Iman?!
This guy also used his own appearance, so Luo Fei recognized him at a glance.
How could Iman be with Mo Han? Could it be that he’s haunting Mo Han again? But Luo Ning didn’t mention this matter, so maybe Iman came here to play games out of curiosity?
As he was struggling, he heard Mo Han ask lightly: “Isn’t Kathleen coming today?”
Frank said: “Her best friend is celebrating her birthday and going out for dinner, so she can’t come today.”
Mo Han said, “Then it’s just the four of us?”
Luo Fei came back to his senses and hurriedly said: “I have a friend here. It’s the “Hunter” we met last time. Can I pull him?”
“Pull him in.” Having experienced his strength, Mo Han naturally had no objection.
After a while, “Hunter” with Ludwig’s face entered the room.
He didn’t say hello to everyone, just stood there indifferently waiting for the countdown.
Iman glanced at “Mr. F” with the system’s face, and then at the handsome “Hunter”. As a face-con, he didn’t have any good impression of Mr. F with the system default, but the new team member attracted his attention. He immediately ran to the other party and said with a smile: “Hello! I’m new here. Is the image in the game your real appearance? If you look like this in real life, you’d be too handsome! Do you like military uniforms? I especially like a handsome guy like you in a military uniform. Such guys are really attractive #￥%@…」
The guy in front of him was a head shorter than himself, and praised him a lot.
Ludwig listened expressionlessly, and after the other party finished speaking, he said coldly: “Do I know you?”
Iman: “…………!”
Seeing Iman speechless, Luo Fei wanted to laugh out loud.
Who told you to tease alphas all the time!
