Chapter 8: Tanks and the Heart of Africa?
After Lin Chen finished looking at the last box containing green pants, he found that one person's bag contained a four-headed, four-armored, dual-wielding gun with decent attachments.
He chuckled into the microphone: "This team in green pants probably killed a team that was in a three-on-one situation. I just don't know if they're from Xida University or their dorm."
After quickly packing his backpack and gathering all the useful ammunition and medicine, Lin Chen turned around, boarded the zipline, and headed straight for the central control bridge.
"There should still be one or two survivors left on the field, most likely rats, waiting to pick up the pieces."
He glanced at the packet loss countdown in the upper right corner.
"It's too early to lose packets. Let's sort out the core area first."
After saying that, he rushed towards the core area along the central control bridge, making sure to check every corner he turned.
He went from the buoyancy room to the CEO's seat, then circled down to the dark room, and finally made his way from the dark room to the blue room. He thoroughly explored every corner of the core area.
Looking around, all the boxes and containers had been thoroughly searched and cleared.
Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh and complain, "Damn, this hamster is really greedy! It doesn't leave a single scrap of food, and it's even cleaner than I am!"
[Hahaha, true mouse nature!]
[These rats must have emptied out the core area!]
[Brother Chen, if you encounter this mouse giving you a signal, don't let it get away!]
Too greedy! Not even a scrap was left!
Lin Chen didn't respond, but just pursed his lips slightly.
In truth, he had always held these rats in utter contempt for those who "eat up the core area and then use secret signals to cover their tracks."
If we encounter them, we always kill them outright.
But he knew that this was a live broadcast, and every move he made would be magnified. Moreover, after Yang Qijia and Bai Ze had just checked the room, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had stabilized at around 10,000. He couldn't act impulsively.
He suppressed his thoughts and continued towards the Blue Room along the connecting passage, silently surveying the area, leaving no cover or blind spot unchecked.
But just as he was pressed against the wall of the corridor and the door of the PEEK Blue Room, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
All that could be seen was a hagi bee crawling on the ceiling of the spot he had previously taught his viewers in the live stream, huddled there motionless.
Lin Chen immediately marked the location, and the viewers in the live stream burst into laughter upon seeing it:
[Hahaha, help! The spot the streamer just taught us, and someone's already using it in this game!]
[You learn so fast!]
[Is this Hagi Bee a viewer in the live stream?]
[The bee doctor is so silly, it makes me laugh!]
Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh. He picked up his AWM, looked at the hagi-like creature through the scope, and teased:
"Hey, is this Bee Doctor bro a viewer in our livestream? If so, use the secret code word that's only for mice. If not, then I won't be so polite!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Hagi Bee moved. It tapped the gun twice, then three more times, and a clear "rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat-tat" sound came through. It was the mouse's exclusive code!
[Hahaha, they really are a fan!]
[The viewers learned so fast, they just learned it and they're already copying the streamer's style]
[Brother Chen, quickly take this mouse in!]
Lin Chen smiled and revealed himself, jumping lightly twice to indicate that he meant no harm.
The haji bee immediately jumped down from its position, ran all the way to Lin Chen, squatted down, and rubbed against him.
Lin Chen was so startled that he quickly backed away, both amused and exasperated: "Hey bro, what are you doing? Don't mess around, or my livestream will be shut down!"
But the haji bee didn't stop; instead, it lay down on the ground and kept wiggling its butt towards Lin Chen.
The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments, filled with jokes and banter.
[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! What is this mouse doing?!]
[Hey streamer, I'm so envious of you! You've already got fans to woo you so soon after becoming famous!]
[Cao Fen, huh? This rat knows too much!]
[Stop him! Don't let him shut down Brother Chen's live stream!]
Lin Chen rubbed his forehead, a wry smile on his face: "My ancestor, please spare me! If you really ban me, where will you all watch such an awesome streamer?"
Despite his complaints, he looked at the Haji bee in front of him:
"Since you're one of us, and as your favorite streamer, I have to pamper you. So, I'll take you to eat the officers' boxed meals. They all come fully equipped with six sets, I guarantee you'll eat your fill!"
Unexpectedly, the haji bee shook its head, then squatted down and took out a main battle tank model.
The live stream chat exploded instantly:
[Holy crap, a main battle tank model?]
[What kind of drop rate is this for mice? It's outrageous!]
I'm so envious!
Even more surprisingly, the Hagi Bee threw the tank model directly in front of Lin Chen, gesturing for him to pick it up.
Lin Chen was taken aback, and subconsciously waved his hand: "No, buddy, you're giving this to me? No way, no streamer takes things from fans, keep it for yourself, it's good stuff!"
Haji the Bee shook his head firmly, took two steps back, and jumped up and down as if urging him on.
Immediately afterwards, he pulled out a model of an infantry fighting vehicle from his backpack, and before anyone could react, he discovered a sparkling diamond.
The Heart of Africa!
【!! The Heart of Africa???】
Holy crap!
[What kind of drop rate is this?!]
Lin Chen was also slightly shocked, but he had seen even more outrageous drop rates before, such as getting two Hearts of Africa and Tear of the Ocean in one game.
"Wow, man, what kind of drop rate is this? This luck is insane!"
My three roommates had already gathered around, staring at the Heart of Africa on the screen, shouting at the top of their lungs:
"Damn it, you deserve to die!"
"What kind of lifespan drop rate is this? Did you sell us a hook?"
"I'm so envious I could cry! Why isn't it me?!"
Haji Bee jumped twice more, pointed the gun at the tank model on the ground, and insisted that Lin Chen take it.
Looking at his sincere expression, Lin Chen bent down and picked up the tank model: "Alright, alright, I'll accept it then. But as a return gift, you can go and eat all the food I packed earlier."
As soon as he finished speaking, Haji Bee immediately turned around and ran towards the two members in a flash.
Lin Chen followed behind with a smile, and couldn't help but say, "Good little mouse, finish eating and let's leave together!"
After Haji finished eating the bun, Lin Chen turned around to pull the switch, protecting him the whole time, afraid that any stray fish might sneak up and attack.
After pulling the switch, the two ran together toward the evacuation point:
[This mouse is so lucky! It was protected and evacuated by Brother Chen!]
[Please, Brother Chen, take me with you! I want to enjoy six sets too!]
[With this drop rate, who wouldn't be envious!]
As Lin Chen ran, he laughed and replied, "Don't be envious. This guy is really lucky. I don't even know his ID. I can't help him even if I wanted to."
Just then, a sports car effect suddenly popped up in the live stream, followed by a comment:
[Brother Chen, that Haji bee from earlier was me!]
Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke into the microphone: "Thanks for the sports car, boss! So that little mouse was you! Here, DM me your game ID, and I'll carry you to a fat feast next game!"
The live stream room instantly became lively again, with the screen filled with comments like "Please carry me" and "Looking for my ID".
Lin Chen stared at the message that popped up in his private message and immediately saw the [Tangyuan] fan badge. He added him as a friend and invited him to join the team.
Upon joining the team, Tangyuan's voice was filled with excitement: "Brother Chen, I've been your fan for ten years! I've been watching your live streams every day since you only had two hundred followers and were still struggling financially."
Hearing this, Lin Chen felt a warmth in his heart and smiled, exclaiming, "Goodness, this is a true long-time fan! I have to spoil him! Good bro, this game you'll carry a turtle pack and pick the female healer. You don't need to fight, just follow behind me. This game, I'll let you be the boss for once!"
Wang Hao, who was standing next to Lin Chen, had already quickly prepared six AW sets for Lin Chen, fully loaded with bullets, and shouted into Lin Chen's live stream microphone:
"Brothers and sisters, claim your diamond lucky bag in the top left corner! Follow me for free, it's worth it to keep your sign up, and with Brother Chen, you'll be eating African hearts every day!"
Lin Chen glanced back at Wang Hao and joked with a smile, "Good brother, we're inseparable!"
The live stream chat exploded with laughter, and the chat was flooded with comments:
[Hahaha, you'd better say "forever"!]
[A lifetime of best buddies! Locked in!]
With the three rows starting, Wang Hao acted as the "equipment assistant" throughout; Tangyuan carried the turtle bag and obediently followed behind the two.
This round, let's ignite the respawn point!
