Picking Up Fragments in PUBG
Chapter 17: Sudden Anger

She remembered Jiang Siming only had a 3x scope on his SKS, while she herself had a 4x scope; how could he possibly hit anyone?

"No need, they can't escape," Jiang Siming said, lifting his SKS sniper rifle.

Through the 3x scope, although the opponent's figure was distant, they couldn't evade Jiang Siming's control.

It was his first time using the SKS, a perfect chance to experiment on the two opponents across.

Bang! Bang!

Two shots! Instantly lifting the helmet of one, wearing only level 2 gear.

"Wow!" Tuantuan exclaimed.

Two shots, three hundred meters, using a 3x scope, and these two shots were fired in less than 0.2 seconds.

With no time to marvel, Tuantuan quickly raised her own 98k, aiming at the other enemy with a helmet.

This person, aware of the ambush, wouldn't wait to be shot, thus started moving frantically.

Bang!

One shot, missed!

Bang!

Two shots, missed!

...

Tuantuan fired three consecutive shots, not hitting a single hair of the opponent.

Awkwardly coughing twice, then mockingly exclaimed, "Hit once, pretty devastating."

Jiang Siming, watching this, didn't expose her. Seeing the opponent about to escape their sight, he stopped spectating.

Without watching any further, Jiang Siming swiftly adjusted his scope near the opponent.

Slightly ahead of the person's thigh, he fired four shots in quick succession.

Those who've played Chicken Dinner know hitting a moving target requires shooting ahead due to bullet delay and gravity.

However, these leading shots weren't easy to land. Apart from practice, luck played a significant role, even for professional players.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Siming's four shots all hit the sprinting opponent's thighs, each bullet replaceing its mark.

Tuantuan could only see through the scope the person's legs being peppered with blood as if exploded.

Luckily, she adjusted her settings to green blood; otherwise, it might have been a bit nauseating to watch.

All four shots hit, and the person fell to the ground.

The livestream fell silent.

"What just happened? Did I see that right?"

"Perfect hit rate? Seems a bit fake, doesn't it?"

"Thought it was a pro, turns out it's an cheater. I thought cheaters were extinct; didn't expect them to come back a year later."

"Feel sorry for Tuantuan; this account might get banned soon."

"Using hacks to play games? Aren't they afraid of being banned from streaming?"

Even Tuantuan herself wondered if Jiang Siming had some sort of tech assist.

"Hey...did you activate cheats?"

Although Tuantuan was unwilling to believe it, everything before her gave rise to suspicion.

"I never use those things," Jiang Siming replied.

Tuantuan wanted to ask more but, after considering it, ultimately chose to remain silent.

Instead, she switched screens and forwarded Jiang Siming's account to the monitoring station.

"Everyone, let's stop discussing this. I've sent the account to the monitoring station, we'll soon have results."

"If he really used cheats, I'll immediately terminate our partnership contract. But for now, please don't falsely accuse or insult him, it's impolite." ř

Tuantuan addressed everyone, then resumed her game. However, her mood became despondent, filled with doubt.

If Jiang Siming really used cheats, she would lose this partnership.

The newly achieved live streaming effect would be ruined.

"It's just a game, why cheat? Even if you're not good at playing, I wouldn't mind. Sigh!"

The more she thought about it, the more irritated Tuantuan became, and her attitude toward Jiang Siming grew more impatient.

"You go pick up the crate, I've got one already."

Jiang Siming, unaware, kindly advised Tuantuan and got into the car, planning to take her to the airdrop.

Unexpectedly, the response he received was a cold refusal.

"I don't want that stuff, you take it! I'll go for the airdrop myself, don't follow me!"

Frustrated, Tuantuan turned away from Jiang Siming and ran toward the zone alone.

Jiang Siming was bewildered, unsure why the sudden anger from the other person?

Despite being upset, he was committed to fulfilling his partnership duty.

Jiang Siming quickly caught up but abandoned the car and didn't pick up the crate.

"I said don't follow me! If you keep following, I'll give you a bad review and cancel our contract!" Tuantuan angrily shouted.

Jiang Siming stopped in place, and Tuantuan stubbornly ran towards the zone without looking back.

The zone quickly approached, but Jiang Siming didn't move. The zone covered him, and he started losing health rapidly.

In the lonely desert map, Jiang Siming seemed unusually helpless.

Tuantuan, who had run far, found it strange that her teammate's marker remained stationary. Just as she was about to inquire, she heard Jiang Siming sigh, then he left their communication platform.

Subsequently, a plug symbol appeared behind Jiang Siming's ID marker in the bottom left corner.

This symbol indicated that the other person had gone offline, quit the game?

Tuantuan was stunned; she hadn't expected Jiang Siming to voluntarily exit the game.

Moreover, within moments, a message arrived on Tuantuan's mobile account, refunding her the entire partnership fee, accompanied by a message:

"I'm sorry. Although I don't know why you're upset, I think it's related to me. The quality of this session wasn't up to par. Please don't be angry. I won't accept the money. Also, please don't give me a bad review because this is my job, I need it. Thank you."

Seeing this message, Tuantuan felt a pang of sorrow in her heart. She didn't expect Jiang Siming to have such a resolute personality.

Did she just scold him?

But if you hadn't used cheats, why would I scold you?

I actually really enjoy playing with you...

Jiang Siming's disappearance left her unable to speak to anyone.

Her fans sensed Tuantuan's low spirits and rushed to console her.

"It's alright, Tuantuan. This is the right attitude towards cheaters. You did well, we support you!"

"An cheater is still an cheater, being so fussy. He doesn't like being criticized?"

"This guy acts tough but can't handle a few words? Let's go give him bad reviews!"

"Yeah, let this cheater learn a lesson!"

...

Her fans were furious, and Tuantuan felt lost. She immediately said, "Please don't go! This has nothing to do with him; it's my own issue. Please don't disturb others, I beg you!"

At that moment, another YY account entered Tuantuan's channel, not Jiang Siming but Chen Sigou.

"Tuantuan, I heard you encountered an cheater using cheats for companionship?"

Chen Sigou, seemingly 'kind' and 'considerate,' promptly approached.

Ignoring him, Tuantuan, Chen Sigou continued 'kindly' to comfort her:

"You're good in every way, just too soft-hearted. Such people need to be exposed. Think about it, if you hadn't discovered it in time, when your account gets banned, your livestreaming career will be affected. So, we must disgrace him. Cheaters don't deserve work. I've already told my fans to give him bad reviews. We must deal with this jerk!"
