"Aaaaaaah! Holy crap!"
When Charlie climbed out of the game pod, his eyes were bloodshot, and he could hardly believe that his game score was only 4.0!
He completed the game, and after deducting the 1.5 credits he spent on lunch, that means he earned 2.5 credits in that one game?!
Is this reasonable?
When he requested a re-evaluation, the system actually dared to deduct points from his score, claiming he had won by default, and his final score became 3.5!
Oh my god!
That's awesome!
Charlie was so angry that he couldn't sleep most of the night. In the middle of the night, he decided to put on some clothes and go to the training ground to vent his anger.
As a result, he was bumped into on the butt by a guy wearing a hat who wasn't looking where he was going in the hallway.
"who!"
Before he could even unleash his anger, he was bumped into again. Charlie immediately flew into a rage, grabbed the collar of the person who had knocked him down, and froze when he met the other person's grey-brown eyes.
Julian?
"what?"
Julian was wearing a mask and hat, covering himself up completely, and carrying food he had bought from the school's 24-hour convenience store.
Julian is always very disciplined, going to bed early and waking up early. Why is he going out to buy food in the middle of the night tonight?
Thinking this, Charlie couldn't help but look curiously at Julian's food, wanting to see what had such magic to it—it turned out to be Xiaoshi Malatang, which had suddenly become very popular in recent years.
The red oil broth is fragrant and spicy!
He was numb; watching this made him hungry.
"Get out of the way."
Julian glanced at Charlie coldly, his brows furrowed with a chilling expression. He looked as if someone owed him money and was clearly annoyed, which confused Charlie.
Charlie figured out that this guy was probably in a bad mood tonight, so he got up to have a late-night snack.
Charlie had originally intended to vent his anger at the training ground, but now, because of Julian, he was no longer angry or anxious.
A spark of gossip ignited within them, and then Charlie put his arm around the other person's shoulder, chuckling as they walked back. He asked, "Are you also angry about the game's completion score?"
"No."
After Julian answered, he glanced at Charlie and suddenly remembered that his classmate didn't seem to like going out late at night.
Julian glanced at the combat suit he was wearing, and recalling Charlie's behavior earlier, he wondered if this guy had a problem with the game's rating and was taking it out on someone late at night.
"No?"
Sure enough, upon hearing his answer, Charlie was taken aback for a moment, and then Julian asked again, "Is your rating very low?"
Charlie: "..."
Seeing that Charlie remained silent, Julian knew that his guess had come true.
"Uh, what's your score?" Charlie didn't say his own score, he just wanted to know Julian's score.
"4.3 credit points."
"Huh? Why?!" Charlie immediately exploded. "Why am I only a 3.5?!"
"That's all you got?" Now it was Julian's turn to be stunned. The score was ridiculously low.
"How should I know!" Charlie was now truly on the verge of tears. "That stupid rating system said I was suspected of getting carried and that I didn't put in much effort during the game... How was I not putting in much effort? I clearly did so much!"
Charlie spoke angrily, then seemed to remember something: "By the way! Did that guy we worked with add us as friends after the game ended? Where is he from? What score did he get?"
“I didn’t add him as a friend.” Julian shook his head. “That guy didn’t even accept my friend request. He seems pretty selfish…”
Julian's face darkened at the mention of this, but a hint of admiration for that person flashed in his eyes. He said, "Although we didn't get a perfect score, do you think... that person might get a perfect score?"
Charlie opened his mouth, then closed it again, thinking of that person's performance, and muttered to himself, "If he got a perfect score, then it's to be expected."
One person directly killed the tyrant and then exposed the true nature of the mission in the game to them. This game was not about assassinating the tyrant, but more importantly, about saving the crumbling Hua Liang.
Therefore, the final substitution scene unfolded, with the two of them helping him put on a grand show to pass the level!
Despite their tireless efforts, the system seemed to think they had gotten a huge advantage and didn't give them full marks.
The two stood in the middle of the road, speechless for a while. After a long while, Charlie came to his senses and looked at Julian, saying, "By the way, why are you so bundled up so tightly to buy something so late at night? I didn't recognize you at first."
"Heh~"
Julian's face darkened at the thought; who knew that one of the players in their game was actually a streamer?
Logically speaking, the players they encounter in the game now are almost all graduates of military academies. What military academy student would broadcast live during training?
He remembered that after leaving the game pod and logging into his personal computer, all his friends who were always on good terms with him sent him a short video, saying it was one of the top trending topics on the StarNet and he should take a look.
Wow!
This is something you shouldn't have looked at, because once you do—the topic "#How hard can modern straight men go to win games?" is trending right now!
The key point is that the male protagonist in this video is him, and the scene shows him throwing Lu Xiaoyao out when he was surrounded by a group of soldiers in the game.
It was thanks to this trending topic that he learned that this player was a famous game streamer in the Empire and also a student at the Empire's Central Military Academy!
