Chapter 04: The Return of the Sniper


Gun King was the most popular shooter game at the moment. The number of players in the world had exceeded one billion people and there was a separate server in each region. There were a huge number of maps in the games such as jungles, deserts, snowy mountains, cities, islands… the scene effects were very realistic and allowed players to experience a thrilling and experience an apocalyptic world in an immersive manner.

As a shooting game with an apocalyptic background, Gun King had a very rich PVE story mission as well as a fair PVP competitive system i.e. the ‘mercenary points ranking system’.

In the Mercenary Arena or ‘Qualifying Tournament’, the initial points of players entering the tournament were all 0 points.

0-500 points were ‘trainee mercenaries’, 500-1000 points were ‘junior mercenaries’, 1000-1500 points were ‘elite mercenaries, 1500-2000 points were ‘expert mercenaries’ and 2000-2500 points were ‘master mercenaries.’

Those with over 2500 points could be promoted to ‘legendary mercenary’ and receive a golden badge. This was equivalent to the ‘strongest king’ rank in other games.

In addition, there was an honorary rank called ‘Gun King.’

The title of Gun King was limited to the top 100 of each season for each regional server. For example, there were tens of millions of people in the qualifying tournament in the China region. It could be imagined how difficult it was to rank in the top 100 in the country.

Jiang Shaoyu’s side account hadn’t been used to play in the arena, nor had it added any friends.

The five year old national server account was logged in and a lot of system information popped up in the upper right corner. They were all notifications of various activities. Jiang Shaoyu deleted all the system information with one click. Then he clicked into the mailbox and sure enough, he saw the return gift.

[AWM-Ice Flame] x 30 days.

[AK-47-Ice Flame] × 30 days.

[Titan Twin Stars-Ice Flame] x 30 days.

[Poisonous Bee Dagger] x 30 days.

[Ranking Protection Card] x 5 pieces.

The rewards given by the system for returning to this account were quite rich. The weapons were all the Ice Flame skin series and could be used for 30 days. It was also worried that he would lose his mentality and give up this account again if he lost in the qualifying tournament so it gave him five Ranking Protection cards. Once the protection card was activated, he wouldn’t lose points if he lost a game.

Jiang Shaoyu closed his mailbox and opened his firearms arsenal.

A variety of firearms was densely displayed in front of him and the duration was all permanent.

In the past, Casually was an account specially used for researching firearms so he bought all the weapons in the mall. Shooting games had to be very careful about the data of a weapon. Data such as balance, rate of fire, recoil and damage had to be carefully adjusted. If a weapon was too strong and broke the balance, the players would scold them to death.

This meant the officials only produced one new weapon every year and they usually produced weapon skins.

The skin didn’t affect the data but the operating feel and special effects were different. Players who liked a certain weapon would naturally collect skins and the officials earned a lot of money because of this.

Jiang Shaoyu’s gaze swept over his firearms arsenal before he finally settled on a sniper rifle.
