Chapter 53
Chapter 53
Xie Wei eliminated Qui, and Yuan Shaofeng also secured the kill on Propro. Bai Chen, after respawning, arrived at the front lines to escort the payload to the first checkpoint.
Yuan Shaofeng found the rhythm of their previous cooperation in this pincer attack, exhaled a deep breath, and laughed, "Nice, good control."
Xu Ziyan squatted in the corner of the tavern, loading the healing gun bullets one by one into the chamber. Just as he was about to answer, Xie Wei spoke up at that moment.
"Good support." Xie Wei's voice sounded calm, without any extra emotion, but Xu Ziyan inexplicably detected a hint of displeasure in it. "This wave was my fault."
Xu Ziyan was stunned for a moment. He did intend to flank and take down Quit, but when he saw Lin retreating with low health, he changed his route at the last minute, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Xie Wei spoke as if he had cleaned up the mess caused by Xie Wei's mistake, but... he's not a machine, how could he possibly get headshots every time without making a mistake?
Xu Ziyan chuckled and said, "This is hardly a problem. Let's move on to the next level."
Yuan Shaofeng also said, "Xie Shen is setting too high a standard for himself."
Xie Wei smiled slightly: "Chen, stay close to the escort target. Yuan, go to the corner of the flower shop. Ice, go confirm the location of the medical facility. I can only keep an eye on the assault team on this map. Be careful with your sniping. I will report the positions at any time."
A chorus of "Yes" came from the voice channel.
Xie Wei moved her aching wrists without making a sound, her gaze gradually darkening.
If it were him in the past, that shot would have definitely secured Lin's head.
However, he just made a mistake.
What others might see as harsh criticism or nitpicking, no one knows better than Xie Wei himself that it means his performance is declining.
That won't do.
Xie Wei smiled faintly, not revealing her emotions, and continued to give instructions calmly.
Fortunately, he didn't make similar mistakes in the following matches. The newly joined Yuan Shaofeng was also very effective. Compared to Shen Xiao, his marksmanship and operation were indeed slightly inferior, but his strength lay in his consistency. There was no need to worry about him suddenly making some jaw-dropping moves, nor was there any need to worry about him suddenly dying.
Moreover, while maintaining stability, Yuan Shaofeng also knew how to be flexible, dared to fight and charge, and made many impressive moves.
After the match, Xu Ziyan roughly understood why the coaching staff had Yuan Shaofeng replace Shen Xiao.
Having a player like Shen Xiao who can flexibly switch positions with him in different team matches can also bring about a fresh new style of play for the entire team.
He licked his lips, his anticipation for the upcoming new version growing stronger.
After the training match ended, probably because the new version was coming soon, we only had a brief debriefing meeting, talked about a few points about positioning and teamwork, and then quickly disbanded.
Xie Wei was happy to have some free time, so he ordered takeout, sat in front of his computer, and absentmindedly started playing an individual match.
In the new version, all classes except snipers have received significant buffs.
Even sniping itself has to be more mobile due to the presence of heartbeat sensors. Even if the position is exposed at the beginning without firing a shot, one must be wary of the enemy's sudden attack.
He gently squeezed his right wrist.
Xie Wei has experienced lows and setbacks throughout his many years in the industry. But it is precisely because of these lows that he has become more strict with himself in managing his performance.
At the age of twenty-two, he successfully won the championship. Surrounded by thousands, he stood on the high steps, looking down at the wildly cheering followers below, as if he were an unattainable god.
To say that he wasn't proud or complacent about it would be a complete lie.
In the second season, the game was updated and snipers were severely weakened. Xie Wei was unable to adapt to the new version, and TWG even suffered a setback as a result, with a dismal preseason record and almost failing to make it to the playoffs.
Those who once cheered for him and worshipped him as a god turned away, and vicious words poured in.
Xie Wei is still human after all. No matter how flawlessly he disguises himself on the outside, he is still made of flesh and blood on the inside. With public opinion turbulent and the team counting on him to be the center of attention, the pressure from both sides is like a wall pressing down on him, as if trying to crush him.
Xie Wei was not crushed to death; instead, she stood up again.
In the playoffs, TWG created a Cinderella story, rising from last place in the playoffs all the way to the finals.
In that match, Xie Wei faced WOF and won the championship shot by shot.
Praise and flowers poured in again, but Xie Wei remained indifferent.
That's the essence of esports; there's no room for argument, only the strong reign supreme.
Xie Wei sighed softly.
The battle royale mode is still very popular with players, and matchmaking is completed quickly.
Coincidentally, the map for this game was Philadelphia.
Xie Wei chose to land next to the water tower. This area is rich in resources, and many aggressive players like to use it to gain a resource advantage.
Instead of rushing down to collect supplies, he skillfully maneuvered his character to the top of the water tower and immediately set up his gun to snipe.

Shining killed HX TV killo.
Shining killed Ythgsjiu.
...
Kill notifications were spamming the top right corner of the screen.
Soon, some people reacted and headed towards the water tower. Xie Wei sidestepped, deftly dodging a sniper bullet from afar, and released his grip, landing on a small platform below the water tower.
He quickly gathered a few bandages, then left the water tower and disappeared into the jungle.
The assault troops who arrived later jumped up in anger, and the different squads started fighting each other again.
Xie Wei hid behind a tree to heal his health bar, put away his gun, and headed towards the next town as quickly as possible.
Although he killed people at the water tower, he didn't get their belongings or any supplies. If he wanted resources, he would have to plunder them from the town.
Just then, the safety zone shrank behind him.
Halfway up the mountain, Xie Weika shot and killed a man who had run out of the town. He then looted the man's box, replenishing his ammunition and supplies.
Just as they were reloading, footsteps suddenly came from the other side of the wall.
Xie Wei reacted quickly, trying to dodge, but was still frozen in place.
This is the effect of a stun gun.
It turns out to be a medical field.
He frowned slightly.
After successfully treating Xie Wei, the doctor promptly pulled out a pistol and reduced Xie Wei's health bar to almost half.
Presumably believing that the enemy in front of them was a sniper and that close combat was nothing to fear, the medic didn't think about running away after the control time ended. Instead, they wanted to take advantage of their health to fight Xie Wei.
Without any hesitation, Xie Wei turned around, raised his gun, and aimed at the target as soon as the character was out of shock. Then, he pulled the trigger.
Instant scoping.
Before the medical staff could react, they were shot in the head by a sniper rifle thrust in front of their eyes.

Xie Wei bent down to pick up the medical kit, replenished her health, and continued on her way.

Downstairs, Xu Ziyan picked up the takeout and also helped Xie Wei carry it up.
He turned around and bumped into Shen Xiao.
Shen Xiao carried the roast duck he had brought back, looking sullen. When he saw Xu Ziyan, he simply nodded listlessly.
Xu Ziyan rarely saw him like this, and reached out to stop him: "What's going on?"
"Nothing, tsk." Shen Xiao frowned, clicked his tongue unhappily, and scratched his hair. "Clear has a new boyfriend."
Xu Ziyan choked up for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Shen Xiao clearly didn't expect him to say anything profound, and continued, "They even officially announced it on Weibo."
Xu Ziyan understood now.
Although Qu Qingyue had had boyfriends before, she had never officially announced any of them. After being rejected by Xie Wei, she may have let go of a grudge, and this relationship is serious for her.
He sighed inwardly, wondering why everyone around him seemed to be heartbroken lately...
Xu Ziyan had just reconciled with her crush of many years and was still in the throes of their romance when she felt deeply out of place among this group of people.
He coughed lightly and said, "That means she's not the right person for you. The right person for you hasn't appeared yet."
Shen Xiao sighed and said, "I hope so. But that's not what's bothering me."
Xu Ziyan was puzzled. He asked, "What is that?"
Shen Xiao said, "Remember that WOF idiot raid I mentioned before? Damn, the WOF management is idiot too. They actually wanted to agree to that idiot's demands for the sake of their playoff results. If Secret hadn't stopped them, that idiot would have made at least a million! I'm speechless. I'm so angry! So angry! How can there be such idiots in the world?"
He unleashed a string of curses, his anger and displeasure noticeably more genuine than when he was talking about Qu Qingyue earlier.
Clearly, what he cared about more than Clear's official announcement of his relationship was the matter between WOF and Secret.
Well, how should I put it? This is probably for the best...
Xu Ziyan suppressed a laugh and nodded in agreement: "He really is a piece of trash."
Shen Xiao clearly hadn't realized he was focusing on the wrong thing, and he grumbled as he went back to the training room with Xu Ziyan.
It wasn't evening training time yet, and the lights were on in the training room, but it was very quiet, with only Xie Wei inside.
Alpha, dressed in his team uniform, leaned back in his gaming chair. The computer screen showed a grayed-out image of someone who had been killed. He didn't continue playing, but stared at the screen with a slight frown, a faint shadow hanging over his handsome features.
Shen Xiao stepped forward and glanced at the screen: "Wow, 4000 points in individual mode, and you still managed to get second place? No wonder you're Xie Shen."
Xie Wei was still replaying the slight misstep during the gunfight in his mind when he heard Shen Xiao's words, and only then did he come back to his senses. He ignored Shen Xiao and turned to look at Xu Ziyan at the entrance of the training room.
In a short time, he had composed himself, his gaze falling on the lunchbox in Xu Ziyan's hand. He smiled and said, "Did you get this for me? Thank you."
Xu Ziyan handed over the takeout and asked curiously, "It's rare to see the captain playing solo mode."
Xie Wei didn't want him to worry, so she didn't say much, only saying lightly, "Just for fun."
Over there, Shen Xiao answered a phone call and started cursing again.
After yelling and hanging up the phone, he turned angrily to Xu Ziyan and said, "Ice, are you free on the 22nd? Come with me to a match! It's a WOF match! I'll pay for the tickets!"
He added, "Hey, don't worry about the captain. Although he rarely plays solo mode, he does sneak in a little bit from time to time. Didn't you see he has a whopping four thousand points? It's normal!"
Xie Wei remained noncommittal, raising an eyebrow with a half-smile: "You're going to watch the match on the 22nd with Ice?"
Shen Xiao said, "That's right."
Just the two of you?
Shen Xiao was stunned for a moment before belatedly realizing that something was wrong.
He quickly added, "Not only, not only. Uh, Bai Chen is going too."
“Oh,” Xie Wei said, “then it seems a bit out of place if I don’t go.”
Shen Xiao said, "...That's how it is."
Xie Wei said, "Since all four of us are going, let's bring Yuan along too, since we'll all be on the same team."
Shen Xiao said, "...That makes sense."
Xie Wei was satisfied and nodded, letting him go.
Shen Xiaoping was unexpectedly charged three extra tickets, but he couldn't argue with Xie Wei, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.
