The Whole World Thinks I’m a Woman Disguised as a Man - Chapter 40-1

The audience collectively held their breath in anticipation.

In the silent, gloomy marsh area, the bullet came splitting through the air, charging straight in the direction of the assaulter leaning out of the shelter.

Everyone unexpectedly dripped cold sweats for him.

When everyone thought Xue Lan would be killed by this sniper, suddenly he became bathed in a fiery light!

This time, everyone immediately guess what that was —

Shield chip.

The bullet hit the radiant light with intense force. There was no fear in the young man’s figure. The burning muzzle of his gun forced Deng Ruiqiu and his companion to slowly retreat.

After this wave, Xue Lan shrank back into the shelter.

Everyone thought this wave had come to an end. They just had to wait for the next round of gunshots once he emerged from the shelter again.

But unexpectedly, the instant Xue Lan returned to the shelter, in the still silence, a bullet came flying from afar!

His target was not Xue Lan, but rather the sniper hiding in the dense, old trees.

With only this shot, the enemy sniper was killed!

The students watching the game collectively cried out in shock. They had not located the sniper, but the system notice announcing the kill had appeared on the screen.

But when everyone thought this was already an exceptional maneuver, when the broadcast screen switched to Reset’s perspective, they saw him shooting again in the next instant. In the hushed training room, the sound of two consecutive shots came through!!

All eyes were riveted to the screen, captivated by the successive system notices announcing the demise of three players, followed by the triumphant victory prompt. It was as if their minds couldn’t keep up with the rapid whirlwind of events, leaving them stunned by the dramatic turn of the tables.

The training room remained deadly still.

Qi Siyu stared at the victory prompt on the screen, utterly speechless. How could he believe that they, in their disadvantageous situation… had wiped out the three enemies, going on to turn the tides in their favor?

Dumbly, he lifted his head to look at Duan Wenzheng. “We… won?”

“Mm.” Duan Wenzheng moved his eyes to Xue Lan.

Qi Siyu’s tense mood finally loosened up. He let out a long sigh of relief.

Xue Lan took off his headset. Eyes brimming with joy, he looked at the person beside him.

“We won.”

Duan Wenzheng’s gaze also stayed on him. After a while, he finally responded with a bare whisper, “Mm.”

At this moment, everyone else in the training room finally returned to their senses. A burst of surprised cheers erupted —

“Shit, they won?!”

“This quickscope! So fucking cool!!!”

“This kind of maneuver is actually not from a plug-in… Apocalypse actually has this kind of sniper??”

……

Standing behind Wen Yan, LGW’s manager Xie Zhinian patted him on the shoulder. “You really have a talent for choosing people.”

Wen Yan hadn’t responded when Meng Qi beside him, who had been silent throughout the game, suddenly commended, “I also think that assaulter called Exist isn’t bad.”

Xie Zhinian smiled. “Indeed, but we’re not lacking an assaulter. Didn’t he… play medic before?” He looked at Wen Yan as he said this.

“But…” Meng Qi said after hesitating, “I heard the Thunder Team is looking for an assaulter to restrain A-Yan. Doesn’t our team still have a place? Why not…”

Xie Zhinian’s gaze lingered on Wen Yan with an ambiguous gaze. Wen Yan’s eyes were gentle as he returned the look. He seemed to choose his words carefully as he proposed, “We can keep observing.”

Xie Zhinian was flabbergasted. He couldn’t help but scrutinize Wen Yan again.

Everyone knows that there are losses and wins in a competition. When one group is filled with joy, it’s inevitable that another group will experience sorrow.

Deng Ruiqiu sat in front of the computer at a total loss. He still couldn’t come to his senses even when all of his teammates had left.

As the team members snapped back from their victorious joy, their attention turned toward Su Yiyu.

“Now let us know, what’s going on?” Qi Siyu coldly said. “I’ve seen trash feeders in games, but I’ve never seen someone intentionally feeding in the training camp. Did you also plan it out in our first game?”

The color in Su Yiyu’s face instantly drained. “No, I really didn’t…”

“You didn’t? Who will believe that? Anyone could tell something was off with you earlier.” Qi Siyu’s expression was stern as he said, “Did you know that engaging in a fake play will result in a permanent ban? Which team would want you now?”

Su Yiyu’s eyes turned bloodshot. He tightly clutched his sleeves. “No, I really… really didn’t… Sorry.”

“You’re still not admitting it?”

“All right, let’s stop right there.” Meng Weiran quickly stopped Qi Siyu and advised, “We’ll review the game when we go back later.”

“Is this called reviewing?” Qi Siyu said angrily.

“Then what do you suppose we do?” Meng Weiran sighed.

“We cannot let someone who match-fixes stay in our team. Isn’t this a time bomb?”

“His actions weren’t intentional. Even if you kick him out of the team now, can you find someone else to play his position? There is only one last game left. If there are any issues, why don’t we calmly discuss it when we go back?” Meng Weiran paused. “And Su Yiyu isn’t a match-fixer.”

“He isn’t? How are you so sure?” Qi Siyu seemed to have heard unimaginable words. “What’s to be discussed? Meng Weira, why are you speaking on his behalf?”

“What do you mean?”

Xue Lan saw that his teammates, who were originally celebrating their victory, were now suddenly having a dispute. He tried to dissuade them, “Let’s stop arguing. No matter what, we won the game, we can talk about it later when we get back…”

“We won?” Qi Siyu’s anger seemed to ignite. “What were you playing earlier? Are we still a team? One of you charged forward without saying anything. The other was clearly in the shooting range and yet didn’t send a single shot out despite seeing that a teammate was dying in front! Are you guys playing solo? Do you even regard me as a teammate?”

“That’s not…”

Xue Lan waved his hand in a flurry. In the situation earlier, he only chased after the two after thinking to stop them from retreating. Even though Duan Wenzheng remained silent, Xue Lan speculated that since Duan Wenzheng had secured a high vantage point beforehand, he would have most likely established a fixed shooting range. Even if he hadn’t, Xue Lan believed that Duan Wenzheng would have made necessary adjustments to his shooting position when they initially began pursuing the enemy.

However, the situation at the time was urgent and happened unexpectedly, he could only shout for the others to give chase and didn’t have time to offer an explanation.
