Chapter 358: I Love Being In the Center of Attention (2)
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: StarveCleric
As the game proceeded on to the final circle, Mister Numbers abandoned his car and brought Shi Yao into the safe zone on foot.
Directionally challenged, there were often times when Shi Yao thought that she was following behind Mister Numbers when, in truth, she was traveling in the opposite direction.
Every time such an incident happened, she would require Mister Numbers’ reminder before she changed her direction and ran back in the direction where Mister Numbers was.
Unfortunately, running around recklessly in the final circle could easily draw fire upon one. As a result, Shi Yao would often be preyed upon while she was making her way toward Mister Numbers
At times like this, it was always Mister Numbers who would save her.
As they were playing Duo mode, Mister Numbers would often in a position where he would have to face two players simultaneously. Even though his aim was very accurate, it was inevitable that he would be shot from time to time. As such, by the time they reached the second last circle in this game, Mister Numbers’ armor and Level 3 Helmet had already been destroyed.
It was just a second ago that the completely defenseless had remarked that he didn’t have any armor left when in the next instant, an air drop fell right in front of the clueless Shi Yao.
It went without saying that Shi Yao opened the air drop without any hesitation, and she immediately shouted out to Mister Numbers, “There’s an intact Level 3 Helmet and Level 3 Armor here!”
Mister Numbers quickly made his way over to Shi Yao and picked up the Level 3 Helmet and Level 3 Armor. After which, he led Shi Yao into the final circle.
Hiding behind a massive boulder, Shi Yao watched quietly as Mister Numbers killed off the six remaining players in the final circle and successfully carried her to a chicken dinner.
While Shi Yao ended the game with an unimpressive record of 0 Kills and Damage Dealt of 10, she still couldn’t resist bragging to Mister Numbers, who had achieved an astounding score of 21 Kills and Damage Dealt of more than 2000, “Don’t you think that there’s still some value to my existence?”
“Value?” It did not take long for Mister Numbers’ response to sound in her earpiece. “Are you sure that there’s value to your existence?”
There was a slight pause before Mister Numbers continued on, “Oh, there is. You did deal 10 damage in the match, so there’s still a little bit of value in your existence?”
With a pout on her lips, Shi Yao retorted indignantly, “My value of existence is way more than a bit! You should know that all of the good equipment and items you were lacking in this match all came from me!”
“Even without your equipment and items, I can still carry you to a chicken dinner!” At this point, it seemed like Mister Numbers had begun drinking water. After a moment of ‘gudong gudong’, he continued, “The very value of your existence lies in exposing my location!”
Shi Yao was caught by surprise by Mister Numbers’ remark. As she brought an apple to her mouth, she replied with a baffled “Hah?”.
…
Lin Jiage did not think too much about Shi Yao’s “Hah?”. As he started the next game, he replied with deliberate slowness, “You aren’t able to run away from the poison properly, and you often end up darting around recklessly. And when you get noticed by the opponent as a result of that, you end up exposing my location…”
Lin Jiage was planning to follow up with an “I didn’t see through your value of existence, but I did see you dragging me back…” statement, but before those words could escape from his lips, he consciously halted himself.
Yesterday night, at the library, he had learned a new skill from the couple sitting right in front of him—praising Soft Bun. Yet, in a moment of inattention, he ended up reverting back to his usual venomous tongue…
Berating himself for his lack of conscientiousness, he anxiously combed through his mind for an emergency solution to the crisis. Roughly two seconds later, he replied, “… However, I love being in the center of attention. It’s all thanks to you that I’m able to receive such a feeling!”
