Picking Up Fragments

The stage was set.

Jiang Siming suddenly called over Weishen and whispered, "Whose red Ferrari is parked outside?"

"It's Gucun's. Why?" Wei Shen replied.

Jiang Siming chuckled and said to Gucun, "Dare to up the stakes? Let's bet on your car parked outside."

"My car's worth three million. Can you afford it?" Gucun scoffed.

"My RS7 is about the same, and I just bought it a couple of days ago. I'll throw in an extra five hundred thousand. How about that?" Jiang Siming proposed.

"Hmph, trying to bluff me by raising the stakes? Dream on! Lawyer, revise the contract!" Gucun called over his lawyer and drew up a new agreement.

The new contract included the previous ten million plus each of their luxury cars.

This represented everything Gucun owned. If he lost, he'd be left with nothing.

And with his public image shattered, no one would buy into his gaming or live broadcasts.

Yet, Gucun wasn't worried. He had extreme confidence in his skills.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a pillar-level player for 4am in such a short time. With his sniper rifle in hand, he was unstoppable.

Of course, Jiang Siming was no different. If he lost, he'd lose all he had amassed in a short time. But he was entirely unconcerned; he could earn it all back quickly.

With the revised contract in place, the bet was on!

This solo match had attracted countless spectators.

Jiang Siming's live stream had an unprecedented audience of over eleven million viewers! His popularity reached a staggering 210 million!

Numerous wealthy individuals joined, including someone named "Traveling Frog Brother," a high-profile user.

This user had recently come over from the League of Legend team's move to the Douyu platform. Although their level was below one hundred, they still attracted a large audience because their owner was the head of the League of Legend team!

"A solo match worth over ten million, interesting. If the streamer wins, I'll send three million in gifts!" Traveling Frog Brother suddenly sent this message in the live chat, igniting the audience's enthusiasm. No one doubted the authenticity of their words.

However, Jiang Siming hadn't seen it. At this moment, he and Gucun had already entered the game and landed in their respective spots.

Both of them had only one Kar98k and just a level-one helmet. One shot to the head meant instant death.

Their solo match officially began!

Gucun poked his head out first and fired a bold sniper shot toward a rock, clearly taunting.

But Jiang Siming didn't budge; he didn't show himself.

Gucun fired another shot, but Jiang Siming remained hidden.

"You coward, if you don't dare to fight me, why play a solo match?" Gucun boasted, convinced that Jiang Siming wouldn't dare to engage in a gunfight with him.

He once again popped up, firing another shot in Jiang Siming's direction.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Siming suddenly emerged from beside the rock, fired a shot in a split second, then quickly ducked back.

Fans familiar with Jiang Siming's live streams recognized this move—it was his signature technique, the Insta-scope!

Bullets flew towards Gucun, and he sensed impending danger. He attempted to dodge, but it was too late. The bullet hit him square in the head, instantly shattering the level-one helmet, and he collapsed with a resounding thud!

"That was too fast!"

Viewers widened their eyes. While Jiang Siming's sniping was known to be quick, Gucun was a renowned sniper in the PUBG world. Before Jiang Siming entered the scene, Gucun even held the title of China's top sniper.

However, even such a top-tier sniper couldn't escape Jiang Siming's single shot.

Gucun felt a bit bewildered; he had been carefree outside and never watched Jiang Siming's live broadcasts. He only knew that this person was a decent sniper, replacing him in the team and nothing more.

But now, it seemed Jiang Siming was more than just a decent sniper.

Nevertheless, Gucun wasn't worried. He thought he had just been careless earlier, and he wouldn't make the same mistake again.

They restarted the game for the second round.

This time, Gucun played cautiously, not daring to be as provocative as in the previous match. He stayed behind a rock, patiently waiting for an opportunity.

Viewers mocked him; wasn't he quite cocky before? Why wasn't he showing his face now?

Now, it was Jiang Siming's turn to be cocky. He aimed his shots at Gucun's hiding spot.

Gucun felt like his face was being slapped repeatedly.

After firing four shots, Jiang Siming's Kar98k had only one bullet left.

Unable to bear it any longer, Gucun exposed his head to see the outcome.

However, as soon as he showed himself, he took Jiang Siming's last bullet with his level-one helmet.

Dead again!

Gucun's face turned grim, looking extremely displeased.

He now felt the pressure, realizing that his opponent's sniping skills far surpassed his own. He didn't even have a chance to aim down the sight.

"I need to check his computer!" Gucun stood up and walked towards Jiang Siming.

Jiang Siming took his hands off the mouse and keyboard, reclining in his chair leisurely, letting Gucun inspect his equipment.

"If you can't win, just surrender. Why bother with all this nonsense?" Weishen mocked.

"Some people can't handle defeat. Can you find anything?" Jiang Siming replied.

"It's amusing to see someone so incompetent in rage. You used to be our teammate; it feels embarrassing!" Weishen ridiculed.

Other 4am team members also sided with Jiang Siming.

Gucun inspected everything, found no issues, and reluctantly returned to his seat.

At this point, he was sweating profusely, feeling the increasing pressure.

The third round began immediately.

Bang!

Despite his increased caution, Gucun couldn't escape Jiang Siming's deadly shot.

Jiang Siming, who has won three games already, is not far from victory, and the live broadcast room is full of excitement.

The fourth game begins.

However, Gucun no longer dares to show himself. Even though Jiang Siming has fired two rounds of bullets, he chooses to stay hidden and not come out like a turtle.

"What's the matter? Why aren't you coming out? Is this how you play solo?" Weishen impatiently asks.

Gucun retorts, "Is it mandatory to come out?"

"You're really a pain!" Weishen curses angrily.

But Gucun still refuses to come out; he wants to delay as long as possible.

"Not coming out, huh?"

Jiang Siming smiles, no longer provoking with gunfire. He simply holds his sniper rifle and runs towards Gucun.

If you won't come out, then I'll come over and beat you up!

Gucun sees Jiang Siming unable to resist running over, feeling delighted. He wants to make Jiang Siming unable to resist coming over, so he can engage with him and surely win!

While Jiang Siming is running, Gucun bravely sticks his head out, fires a shot, and immediately retreats.

But Jiang Siming seems to know his trick entirely; going straight, he suddenly turns and easily evades Gucun's shot.

Feeling unwilling to give up, Gucun shows himself again and takes another shot.

But once again, Jiang Siming sidesteps his movement!

Seeing Jiang Siming getting closer, Gucun starts to panic, aims, and shoots, but Jiang Siming casually shoulder-shoots him, exploding his head.

The match ends! 4-0!

Weishen and others excitedly cheer, rushing to Jiang Siming, patting him on the shoulder.

"Old Jiang, you're really amazing!"

"I'm amazed, I'm amazed, so strong!"

"From now on, you're my big brother, here are my knees!"

Not just them, Jiang Siming's live broadcast room is also celebrating like it's New Year's.

Numerous wealthy viewers are crazily sending gifts; it's so satisfying!

Equally, they are truly impressed by Jiang Siming's skills, beating professional player Gucun, rendering him unable to even retaliate, this level of strength is truly impressive!
