The Light Bullet roared as it shot out of the gun's chamber, slicing through the snowstorm like a white silver serpent of lightning.
This shot caused everyone to gasp in shock.
Outside in the storm, the Wandering Young Master was momentarily stunned by the sound of the gunfire. He distinctly remembered that his opponent had a Tan Lang series Energy Sniper Rifle, which had a meager range of only eight hundred meters. How could he possibly be shot at from fifteen hundred meters away?
Wasn’t he just a distraction, meant to mislead?
The Light Bullet drew an astonishing white line through the swirling snow, suddenly appearing right before the Wandering Young Master’s eyes. He widened his eyes in disbelief at the perfectly aimed sniper bullet.
Bang!
His armor helmet was struck hard, and then everything went dark.
A deathly silence enveloped the spectators outside!
After a long moment, chaos erupted with various exclamations.
"How is that possible! That’s over fifteen hundred meters!"
"His weapon is definitely a Tan Lang series sniper rifle, right?"
"I must be seeing things; I must be seeing things!"
"Damn it, I should have bet on him winning!"
"With that kind of marksmanship, even professional snipers in the military couldn’t pull that off. How did he do it?"
"I have to take him as my master; I want to become the new generation Super Sniper God in Virtual Battlefield!"
Regardless of how it happened, what mattered was that Lu Fei Fan had won. This victory propelled his ID, Rascal, from over five thousand in ranking to more than three thousand.
What thrilled Lu Fei Fan even more was the prize money. After deducting the twenty percent taken by the Data Analysis System, he earned over sixty-one thousand Federal Coins!
This was indeed a substantial sum of money. When he left the hospital in the morning, he only had a few hundred dollars on him. For someone like Lu Fei Fan, who barely made five hundred a month working odd jobs, over sixty thousand was an unexpected windfall. The players who had lost their bets were lamenting their choices, wishing they had placed their bets on him, including A Teng.
He had staked his entire fortune on the other side, and now he was back to square one. Syle crawled over to plead with Lu Fei Fan to return some of his capital.
"Boss, you’re simply amazing! Share a bit of your winnings with me!"
Lu Fei Fan kicked him away. People like him, who profited from their friends' losses, deserved to be punished severely. However, if A Teng had been the one in the duel this time and he had placed his bet, Lu Fei Fan would have likely bet on A Teng to lose as well.
News of Lu Fei Fan's victory spread quickly. His shot with an eight-hundred-meter Sniper Rifle hitting a target from fifteen hundred meters away became legendary.
Videos of this competitive duel were recorded and uploaded online for people to watch and analyze. The interest in these videos rivaled that of the famous duel between Phoenix and Xuan Hu, and it was even on track to surpass the viewership of their match.
Meanwhile, Phoenix was at the square purchasing ammunition and was unaware of the duel or its significance. However, a friend with the ID 'Michelle' reached out to her.
"Phoenix, you have to check out this video! It’s so intense! Absolutely stunning!"
"Oh?"
Michelle sent her the video link, and Phoenix curiously opened it and watched patiently.
"What do you think? Isn’t it impressive?" Michelle asked eagerly.
"There's even an Energy Ion Shield... Hmm, using only an eight-hundred-meter range Tan Lang Sniper Energy Gun to take out a target at fifteen hundred meters is quite remarkable..."
"Right? I initially thought that the blind sniper 'You Lan Is Very Sad' was incredible, but I didn’t expect 'Rascal' to be even better. This is practically blind sniping! He’s now hailed as the new generation's Sniper God!"
"Blind sniping? I wouldn’t say so."
"Oh come on, Phoenix! I have to go now; our sisterhood has decided to join the Playboy Special Operations Team."
"Playboy?" Phoenix asked in surprise.
"Yes! It’s the Special Operations Team that Rascal is part of. They’re so popular right now that you can’t even get in line anymore. Luckily, one of my sisters is pretty close with their Vice Captain 'Silver Gun Overlord,' so we can join. What do you think, Phoenix? Want to come along?"
“No need, I still have some things to take care of. You all go ahead.”
“Oh, then I’ll head out first. We can chat later.”
After Michelle left, Phoenix opened the leaderboard and began to carefully investigate all the information about Rascal, including his equipment and combat power.
After studying for a while, she discovered that his previous ranking was actually thousands of places lower. Understanding this made her even more curious about Rascal—how on earth did he manage to snipe someone from fifteen hundred meters away with an eight hundred meter range Sniper Energy Gun?
Meanwhile, on a distant island known as Star Sea Island, where several luxurious villas were built, a tall young man with black hair emerged from a comfortable high-end Virtual Pod in one of the villas on the western side.
Walking barefoot on the floor, he strode to the table and picked up a glass of energy drink just delivered by a servant. This drink was meant to replenish both physical and mental energy. He raised it to his lips for a sip, but as soon as he did, his chest heaved, and he smashed the glass onto the floor, shattering it into pieces.
“Rascal! Just you wait; I won’t let you off so easily!”
Immediately, he clapped his hands and summoned a bald man in a suit, instructing him, “Go find someone to trace Rascal’s IP address in Virtual Battlefield!”
“Yes, sir.”
The bald man turned and left without hesitation.
Stepping out of the villa room, he looked at the iconic building in the distance. On this island, apart from the several luxurious villas where the wealthy resided, the most striking feature was undoubtedly the lighthouse.
This lighthouse protected the island known as Fortune Island and was named Divine Bird by its inhabitants.
At this moment, Lu Fei Fan was overwhelmed with tasks and completely devoid of any joy from his victory. Ever since he played that match, a large group of people had been clamoring to join Playboy's Special Operations Team. In the end, he handed these matters over to A Teng and Niu Dali to handle. After politely declining offers from some well-known Special Operations Teams with higher rankings, he finally logged off.
Returning to the real world around noon, Lu Fei Fan left the Virtual Internet Cafe with A Teng and Niu Dali. They quickly found an empty corner where Lu Fei Fan borrowed Niu Dali’s virtual watch to check his account. Over sixty thousand electronic energy points appeared prominently in his account!
This thrilled Lu Fei Fan immensely; with this money, at least his mother wouldn’t have to worry about finances for a while.
However, he still decided to share over a thousand points with A Teng and Niu Dali since they had bought him dinner after his loss. Although they initially refused, they couldn’t resist Lu Fei Fan’s insistence and eventually accepted it. Afterward, Lu Fei Fan borrowed Niu Dali's virtual watch again before they bid farewell and went home. He bought some food and hurried to the hospital, intending to transfer this money to his mother to make her happy.
But when Lu Fei Fan arrived at the hospital, he found that his younger brother was not there; only his mother was in the ward tending to their father.
“Mom, let me do it,” Lu Fei Fan said as he set down the takeout box and took the towel from his mother’s hands. With swift movements, he began to wipe down his father, who lay unconscious on the hospital bed. His mother, exhausted, wiped away her tears and sat in a nearby chair, sighing as she looked at her husband.
“Oh, the pillar of our family has fallen. What are we going to do?” She began to cry again.
“Mom, don’t worry. I’m here with my brother,” Fei Fan said, continuing to clean his father’s body while trying to comfort her.
“How can I not worry? Your dad’s illness will probably cost us hundreds of thousands. The person in the next room has the same condition as your dad, and they’ve already spent two hundred thousand without improvement. You know our family’s situation; can we afford that?” His mother said with a worried tone.
Fei Fan paused and sat down across from her. “Mom, give me your bank account number. I’ll transfer some money to you.”
“Forget it. You barely make enough from your part-time jobs to cover your own living expenses. Don’t transfer anything. Your dad saved a little while working; if that runs out, we’ll find someone to borrow from,” she replied, fully aware that Fei Fan was struggling as a student with part-time jobs.
“Just give me the account number,” he insisted again. “I can’t just withdraw cash and bring it to you.”
Reluctantly, his mother provided him with the account number.
Fei Fan quickly transferred the money using the virtual watch he borrowed from Niu Dali. A notification pinged on his mother’s mobile phone, and she opened it.
“Your account ending in 584 has received sixty thousand…”
His mother stared at the amount in disbelief.
“Fei Fan, where did you get so much money?” she asked anxiously.
“I saved it from my part-time jobs,” he replied, returning to his father’s bedside to continue wiping his feet. He wouldn’t tell her that he had won it gambling while playing video games that morning; otherwise, she would think he was wasting his time and not focusing on his studies. It was better to fabricate a story about saving from work.
“You… you saved that much? Are you sure you’re not lying to me?”
“Yeah, I had good performance at work, and my boss just gave out bonuses not long ago,” Lu Fei Fan continued fabricating. “Don’t worry; this money isn’t stolen or scammed; it’s all legitimate.”
His mother looked doubtful for a moment, wanting to ask more questions, but seeing how seriously Fei Fan was tending to his father made her realize how much he had grown up.
After finishing cleaning his father’s body, Fei Fan straightened up and looked at his dad sleeping soundly on the bed. “Dad, take care of yourself; I will definitely get the ‘Jinwu Holy Blood Pill’ for you!”
Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside the hospital room.
"Hua! Hua! It's bad, it's bad!" rushed in Aunt Wang, the neighbor from next door, breathless as she called out to Hua Feifan's Mother.
"What happened?" Hua Feifan's Mother asked anxiously.
"Your son... Hua Jun Tang..." she gasped for breath.
"What happened to my brother?" Lu Fei Fan quickly pressed for details.
"He's in trouble!" Aunt Wang exclaimed urgently.
"Ah!"
Both Lu Fei Fan and his mother felt a jolt in their hearts, as if struck by lightning.
