Picking Up Fragments

The chat rhythm started again, but Tuantuan, who already knew the tricks of live streaming, restrained herself from paying attention.

"Let me reiterate, Chen Sigou and I are just friends. Don't overthink it, the plane's taking off, parachute time!"

After saying this, Tuantuan temporarily ignored the barrage and asked Jiang Siming where to jump.

Originally planning to mark a hot-drop location, Jiang Siming noticed a green flickering spot in the wilderness on the map.

Surprised, he marked that spot, although it was a full grid away from the flight path.

Seeing Jiang Siming's mark, Tuantuan felt despair inside.

"Why would he mark such a spot? He's even more cautious than I am..."

The audience laughed.

"Hahaha, someone who marks such a spot dares to call themselves a pro with ten games and four chickens?"

"Too funny, this guy's voice is so pleasing, yet he's so timid. I, as a girl, wouldn't even jump in such a place."

"Waiting for the box drop."

"Should cancel the order, this guy's too cautious. Can't stand it. Better off finding Chen Sigou."

...

Despite not wanting to land there, Tuantuan chose to respect Jiang Siming.

The main reason she chose Jiang Siming was his voice; she never really believed in his gaming skills from the start.

Both parachuted and landed at their destination. Strangely, Tuantuan noticed that Jiang Siming landed several seconds faster than her!

When she landed, Jiang Siming had already looted an entire building.

"Did I not pay attention and free-fell right after pulling my parachute? Must be it."

Without dwelling on it, Tuantuan began looting too.

"Picked up 'Reaction Speed Talent' shard *1 (4/4). Shard quantity reached max, can be used directly."

Great! Finally got a full set!

"Use!"

Jiang Siming finally acquired the reaction talent he had been waiting for.

A surge of warmth flowed through his body and mind, an indescribable sensation enveloped him.

Jiang Siming felt that before, he couldn't even complete a simple whack-a-mole game, but now, he could probably smash any gaming console if he played.

The wilderness was quickly searched. Both had poor gear; Tuantuan didn't even have a helmet.

Jiang Siming, noticing the gesture, knew Tuantuan was just accommodating him, so he dropped his level one helmet for her.

"No, you use it. It's not much use to me since my skills aren't that good," Tuantuan kindly declined.

However, Jiang Siming was more firm in his refusal, replying, "I don't need it either. No one can hit my head. You keep it; if I need it, I'll take it off someone else's body."

"Although your voice is pleasant, you can't brag like this," Tuantuan couldn't help but comment.

Jiang Siming didn't argue, just smiled and continued on their way.

This attitude was quite satisfactory for Tuantuan. Despite his bragging, he didn't argue, accepting her 'education' humbly, which was quite okay.

With her impression slightly changed, Tuantuan started chatting with Jiang Siming.

"Hey, where are you from?"

"Hmm? Yunnan."

"Wow! The City of Travel! Is it far from Lijiang or Dali?"

"It's quite far. My hometown is in a remote town, but the scenery is as good as Dali and Lijiang."

"Are you single?"

After saying this, Tuantuan felt a bit embarrassed, wondering why she suddenly asked this.

"I've just ended a six-month single life recently," Jiang Siming replied.

"Wow! A guy with such a nice voice isn't single? So sad, sob!"

"Who'd have such a boyfriend? Wouldn't your ears get pregnant every day?"

"Hahaha, as long as he's not single, my buddy Sigou still has a chance."

"Tuantuan, give up. He's already taken."

...

Just as Tuantuan thought that way, Jiang Siming added, "I'm now starting the second half of the year."

"?????"

"Hahaha, this move!"

"Recently ended a six-month single life and now starting the second half, haha! What a line!"

"Such a tease! Learning something new here, gonna post it on my socials, hehe."

Even Tuantuan found Jiang Siming's words amusing. She had thought he was a serious and dull person.

"Do you know what kind of guys I like?"

Deciding to tease him a bit, assuming he wouldn't know, she planned to make a joke.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Siming replied in a cute way that left her stunned.

"I dare not ask because I'm afraid I might meet all the criteria."

What!?

This sudden flirtation, combined with his charming voice, made Tuantuan admit she was blushing.

The live stream room instantly buzzed with excitement.

"Wow, throwing out jokes effortlessly? Impressive!"

"Haha, trying to flirt but getting flirted back, Tuantuan, you're not holding up!"

"Little guy is so playful, love it, sob sob~"

"If Chen Sigou had this wit, he'd have already won his beloved."

"Laughing so hard, I slapped my Bentley and four Nanfu batteries popped out!"

"Feels like Chen Sigou's in trouble; this gaming partner has got some skills."

...

The barrage suddenly returned to the main theme due to Jiang Siming's two sentences, something Tuantuan hadn't expected.

This gaming partner is quite good; apart from not having seen his gaming skills yet, everything else perfectly meets her requirements.

Tuantuan decided that if he continued like this, she would be willing to play games with him, even if his gaming skills were not top-notch.

To keep things going, she wanted to continue exchanging jokes with Jiang Siming. However, she couldn't think of anything funny.

Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Siming interrupted her.

"To the northeast, 130 degrees, I see someone."

Enemy spotted. Tuantuan temporarily abandoned her plan to entertain everyone and focused on the game.

Indeed, in a half-finished building in the northeast direction, two sneaky figures were hopping around searching for items.

"Shh! Don't shoot. Let's sneak over. Don't shoot, quietly enter the village, understand?"

Tuantuan lowered her voice, as if speaking loudly would let the other side hear.

Although Jiang Siming initially wanted to shoot directly, he remembered the customer aspect and agreed, considering the client's gaming experience.

The two stealthily approached the building with people. Midway, Jiang Siming was startled not by the enemies noticing him but by the female client, who was overly alarmed. After walking a few steps, she immediately shouted for Jiang Siming to crouch down.

All these surprises made Jiang Siming feel quite 'painful.'

Finally, the two approached closer, crouching on the left and right sides of a wall.

"Someone has come out. I'll take him down. Don't move; cover the right side," Tuantuan commanded. She was used to these sneaky tactics.

"Okay," Jiang Siming replied, showing good cooperation and remaining still.
