4AM-Vic!
Ranking: #1!
Kill Count: 24 Kills!
As if under the effects of a spell, the live audience sunk into a mysterious silence when they saw the bloodstained kill count…
It seemed like he had achieved the incredible feat by ignoring all his opponents!
On the commentary platform, the two Western commentators were so excited that they could not stop shouting, “Oh my god”.
“Oh my god, this is unbelievable! Is that person a monster?”
“No! I think he’s a monster hunter! Satan and the rest are the monsters.”
“I thought he was going to die to circle damage any second. Who knew he would have jumped off the cliff?”
“What else could PUBG be? Vic has shown us the true meaning of PUBG.”
“I have a question though. Why do I think that Satan and Wolves died at the same time?”
“If we look at it logically, Wolves should have been the first one to fall since the crossbow was shot first.”
“That’s bad news then! If Wolves died first, that means Satan got second place in the match!”
“Top three in all three matches. That’s the True Devil King’s Eye for you! What amazing consistency!”
“Oh! The caster is replaying the scene. Let’s take a look.”
The scene replayed on the tournament screen.
The viewers thought that Shen Zeyan had not reacted to the sneak attack from the crossbow during the action-packed scene early. They thought he had been killed without putting up a fight. They felt sorry for him…
Watching the replay cam, they were shocked to realize that Shen Zeyan had not been caught off guard. Rather, it was the opposite. His reaction was almost instantaneous!
Almost at the same time when Liu Zilang shot the crossbow bolt in his direction, Shen Zeyan pulled the crosshair of his M24 toward Liu Zilang and fired a bullet. He faced the crossbow bolt that was whizzing toward him without a hint of hesitation or cowardice!
It took the viewers a while to digest the incredulous scene.
Some viewers soon realized what had transpired. They heaped praises on Shen Zeyan’s decisiveness and composure when facing certain death!
Shen Zeyan had not forgotten to dodge the bolt. Rather, the bullet speed of the M24 was a lot faster.
At that distance, he was confident that the bullet would kill his opponent faster than his opponent would kill him. This was of course even if he shot second.
If he could eliminate his opponent, there was no need to dodge the crossbow bolt.
Fighting a kill with a kill!
That was Shen Zeyan’s philosophy as a sniper.
His one and only fatal mistake was that he had not expected Liu Zilang to jump off the cliff.
The way Liu Zilang jumped off the cliff and dodged the bullet was so natural. It was as if he had practiced doing so countless times!
The match was over and what had happened had already happened.
However, if Liu Zilang had not been able to perform that mid-air kill earlier, he would have been turned into a crate once his feet touched the ground below him.
It was a gamble on his life.
The caster’s replay cam shifted to a different location.
On the tournament screen, the instant Satan fell to the ground, a crossbow bolt was seen penetrating Shen Zeyan’s body as he fell to the ground face up.
It was almost impossible to judge with the naked eye who had fallen first.
At this time, the replay cam ended. Then, a list of names appeared on the big screen on stage.
The leaderboard of the third match was displayed!
Everyone’s eyes were glued to the screen!
First place: 4AM-Vic, 24 kills!
Second place: SSK-Satan, 13 kills!
Third place: IG-Wolves, 11 kills!
The truth was revealed to everyone.
The crossbow bolt had killed Shen Zeyan before the mid-air MK14 completed the epic two-kill combo that would be remembered for a long time.
It meant that the champion’s weapon skin for the third match would be the MK14.
It was not unexpected.
Even if the crossbow bolt’s flight speed was slower than the MK14’s bullet speed, it was still faster than the time taken for Liu Zilang to swap weapons and jump off the cliff.
The next moment, the commentators and viewers on Hua Xia’s commentary platform seemed to have noticed something…
If Satan placed second in the match, then Liu Zilang, who had won two chicken dinners but ranked extremely low in the second match, would face an incredible contender in the race for the ‘Solo King’ title in the solo tournament!
“Top three in all three matches? Satan is such a consistent player! I can’t tell if Vic is going to be the overall winner!”
“Hm, we can only wait for the final scores to be tabulated. If I remember correctly, Satan was in first place after the first two matches while Vic was in fifth place?”
“Let me check the records… Yes, that seems to be the case. Furthermore, the score difference between the top three players is quite small. From fourth place onwards, the difference is more than a hundred points.”
“Oh? If that’s the case, I think Vic still stands a good chance. He scored 24 kills in this match!”
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they were reminded of that fact.
Just how incredible was scoring 24 kills?
Scoring 24 kills was just as hard, if not harder, than winning a chicken dinner. Translated into points, scoring 24 kills meant scoring 240 points.
The ranking points for winning a chicken dinner in the tournament was 250 points. This meant that Liu Zilang had almost won himself a second chicken dinner in the third match!
The only thing there was to worry about was whether Satan’s kill count and ranking points could maintain his lead ahead of Liu Zilang.
Within the 30 seconds, while everyone was waiting for the final scores to be tabulated, the atmosphere in the arena turned from bustling chaos to anxious silence.
Even the air in the arena felt heavy…
Finally…
The big screen behind the stage lit up!
The total scores of the three solo matches of the day were displayed in descending order!
First place: 4AM-Vic. 1010 points!
Second place: SKK-Satan. 1000 points!
Third place: IG-Wolves. 890 points!
Fourth place: SKK-Karl…
…
The names and scores of the top ten players were displayed from the players with the most points to the least!
No one really cared about the names of the players anymore.
Everyone around the world had their attention focused on the person placed on top of the leaderboard!
The difference of ten points! The difference of one kill!
With a photo finish, Liu Zilang had managed to overtake Satan and secured the Solo King title!
Without warning…
The big screen on the stage dimmed down and all the names and statistics disappeared from view.
Then, several giant golden characters and a crown appeared on the big screen on the stage.
Solo King!
4AM-Vic!
His statistics lit up on the screen like the status interface of an RPG.
Total kill count, total damage, time survived, headshot rate…
The viewers in the major Chinese live-stream platforms became excited when they saw the inspiring scene!
Once more, a repeat of the squad tournament, Hua Xia players stood on top of the world once again!
“Champions! Champions once again!”
“F*ck! That’s the way it’s done!”
“Vic is amazing!”
“When will the champion weapon skins be released? I can’t wait!”
“I’m curious to find out what it will look like.”
“Haha, no matter what, I’m buying it! Shut up and take my money!”
“…”
