Chapter 251 The Real and Fake Boss
The very first game was extremely difficult.
Jiang Feng then cleared out the other miscellaneous items in the collection, such as bullet pouches and supply boxes.
They managed to squeeze out another 20 Haff credits.
He stared at the poorly modified stock M4, gritted his teeth, and poured all the money he had just scraped together into it, making a few more minor modifications.
Jiang Feng couldn't understand how the developers could make a laser gun, which could easily be modified to have zero recoil, so difficult to use!
With the last few Haff coins left, Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and bought half a set of 556 gold bullets.
That's all we can do.
In the end, he still only had one set of four suits and one half-modified M4.
His output relies entirely on level 4 bullets; that half-set of gold bullets is the only trump card he has left to try and pull off a miracle.
However, using level 4 ammo with the M4, a notoriously weak gun, results in ridiculously low damage. If you encounter a fully modified player with level 6 armor, even if the player stands still and lets you spray, it will take him two or three magazines to whittle down the armor, making it feel like you're just tickling him.
This equipment might not even be enough to take down a machine dam. How can you become a dazzling genius in Juehang?
It's a bit of a pipe dream. If it weren't for the name Jiang Feng, the comments would have been full of complaints about wishful thinking.
"Top Secret Space Program Launched!"
Jiang Feng clicked on the matchmaking button and was matched almost instantly.
Upon entering the operator selection screen, Jiang Feng swiped the mouse across the screen, scanning Luna, Dr. Bee, and Dragon in turn. His fingertip paused for half a second before finally landing steadily on Red Wolf, and he decisively locked and confirmed the selection.
I did consider using the M44 to rush in, but the M44 has no burst damage in close combat. Even with the dash to get close, it can't compete with a fully modified gun. It's just a free kill.
In this game, without equipment or an advantage, the only options are to kite, rely on mobility, and exploit information gaps. In that case, it has to be the most well-rounded man in Delta Force – Red Wolf.
I'm incredibly handsome, really.
As soon as the spawn point refreshed, Jiang Feng looked at his position on the screen, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.
Three!
"Lock Three?" He shrugged at the camera, looking utterly hopeless. "Then this round of Chroma Prodigy is basically out of the question."
Lao San wanted to take on the challenge of getting 20 kills, so he had to open the bridge to lure people over to fight. But with his shabby gear consisting of four sets of armor and four eggs, opening the bridge would just be handing himself over to them as a target.
However, Jiang Feng's equipment in this game did not meet this requirement.
The next second, Jiang Feng immediately lay down on the spot and went AFK.
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do."
"Okay, let's scroll through Douyin (TikTok)."
Jiang Feng opened the Douyin webpage.
The live chat exploded with laughter, flooding the screen with messages:
[It's right for the prisoner to scroll through Douyin (TikTok) three times. Since he's going to give away food anyway, he might as well wait 20 minutes and see if there's any leftovers.]
[Let me see your amazing Douyin account, Fengshen! Isn't it full of beautiful women?!]
When I opened Douyin, the homepage wasn't showing any beautiful women dancing; instead, it was a live stream of a Delta Force game.
Streamer ID: Zhengfeng Esports Junwen (Want to be the Demon King's Protector).
Jiang Feng recognized him at a glance. Wasn't this the unlucky guy who got taken down by AW in one shot at the start of the two consecutive rounds during the previous assessment, and who completed the top-secret aerospace test in a combined minute?
The final rating placed him as a mid-level protector, but because this kid was so unlucky and had such distinctive characteristics, he left a deep impression on Jiang Feng.
Furthermore, Fang Ningxue set a strict rule that all the club's escorts and henchmen must record the entire process when taking orders, including game footage and voice communication. Those who have the means should preferably livestream the process of taking orders, which not only leaves evidence but also helps them attract more customers.
Junwen is the one who implemented this rule most thoroughly.
He started a live stream as soon as the club opened early this morning, and orders kept pouring in without stopping.
This kid's biggest advantage is his boundless energy. Before, he worked hard at a small club, barely making any money after the commission. Now, at Zhengfeng Esports, although he was unlucky and didn't get to use his full potential, only managing to secure a mid-tier player, he can still reliably earn 300 yuan an hour. What's more, Zhengfeng only takes a 10% cut, which is several times more than what he earned at the small club.
With the official crackdown on cheating, the top-secret aerospace team was free of cheats, and every game went smoothly. The boss was satisfied, and he was having a great time. Even after a long day, he showed no signs of fatigue.
"Boss, we've reached level 2 in this round, how do we proceed?"
This wasn't a typical game with a gaming partner. The boss's requirements were simple: follow his instructions throughout the game, even if the game ended badly because of his commands.
The boss was also annoyed by the fixed squad – when he played with his friends, he was always in the command position, but whenever there was a problem in the team, the fixed squad would blame it all on his command strategy.
The boss wanted to find two professional fighters with top-notch execution skills today to see if the problem was with his command or if the platoon's marksmanship and execution were lacking.
To be honest, after several rounds of testing, the withdrawal rate of four to three was quite impressive, which greatly boosted the boss's confidence.
I told you I was fine!
The boss in the earpiece hesitated for two seconds before speaking:
"Let's try a new strategy. We'll clear out prison three instead of prison two. Once we've cleared it or there's no one there, we'll switch to a second strategy and clear the bridge. Let's see how viable this strategy is."
Without the slightest hesitation, Jun replied, "Okay, boss."
Junwen's twin teammate, Qingnuo, also from Zhengfeng Esports, immediately followed up: "Okay, boss."
With these kinds of directives, whatever the boss says goes.
Loyalty, execution, implementation.
Qingnuo failed to make it into the final 20 of the assessment competition last time, and now her hourly rate is only 150, which is far lower than Junwen's.
Fang Ningxue had already stated that there would be more assessment matches and ranking matches, and they would only be larger in scale than the last time. As long as you have the strength, there is a lot of room for growth for Zhengfeng Esports!
Both of them were putting in their best effort, waiting for the next competition to achieve good results and advance to the next level.
Jiang Feng was surprised to see his own club's henchmen on Douyin as soon as he opened it. He laughed to himself, thinking that this was quite a coincidence.
He didn't mind using this opportunity to promote his own henchmen, and also to take a break and test their skills.
However, he didn't click into the live stream room; instead, he left it on the homepage to listen to the audio and watch the video, so as not to be discovered.
And so, Jiang Feng nestled in his chair, watching his henchman's live stream with great interest.
Jiang Feng comments on the boss's ingenious ideas, highlighting his exceptional "emotional intelligence":
"Should we first overthrow the Qing dynasty in prison three, instead of the second prison for the living?"
"That's a viable tactic. After all, the biggest problem with Prison 2 is that it's easily attacked from both the front and the rear."
"First, clean up the three cells behind your back. Even if there's a big brawl in the cell later, you can handle it easily and without having to scramble around in a panic."
In the live stream, Junwen and Qingnuo's teamwork was excellent, with one stepping on the left and the other on the right, and their aiming and positioning were extremely precise.
Jiang Feng smiled as he glanced at the questions in the live chat and answered them calmly:
What does it mean to have good quality but a high price?
"Let me tell you, there were thousands of thugs who signed up, and 200 were selected. Of those 200, only 20 were chosen for the final assessment. Even if Junwen is the last one among those 20, he would still be a top-tier thug in other clubs."
You can see for yourselves how it goes; I won't praise them or belittle their competitors.
Just then, gunshots rang out from prison.
The boss, who was at the back of the line, was checking if anyone was cleaning oil drums when he was suddenly shot twice by a drone that appeared out of nowhere. He immediately raised his hand and fired a few shots to eliminate the drone.
Jun asked, his lips moved, but he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
With that shot, wouldn't their location in cell number two be completely exposed?
Forget it, you're the boss, you're the boss.
On the other side, Jiang Feng, watching his own henchman's live stream, suddenly froze.
The reason is simple—he had heard the exact same gunshot in his own gaming headset before, right next to cell number three where he was lying, in the direction of cell number two.
Could it be...?
The comments section was stunned for half a second, then exploded, flooding the screen so much that it almost froze.
[Hilarious! They crashed like crazy!]
[Payback! Payback! Their own henchmen are purging their own boss!]
[The age-old dilemma: Who is the real boss – the club owner or the order taker?]
Still watching live streams? We're coming to arrest you!
