Chapter 111: Spending Each Night With A Different Partner (1)

Without thinking, Shi Yao immediately replied, “Of course I won’t bother with him again! He’s the one who added me into his friend list, and then he deleted me just like that? I’d rather be turned into a dog than talk to him again!”

…

Since she had already planted a flag ¹ there, Big White Chubby would probably never talk to [Northern Tea] ever again…

A smile inadvertently surfaced on Lin Jiage’s lips, but he then spoke with a solemn voice that was completely at odds with his expression, “Are you… angry?”

Before waiting for [Yao Loves Ice Cream] to respond, Lin Jiage had continued with the same solemn voice, “I’m sorry, it looks like I dragged you down.”

…

Actually, Shi Yao wasn’t angry in the least. After all, she had only met [Northern Tea] in the game a few hours ago and played together for a short while…

However, when she heard such words from [111111], she couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed. “No, it’s really nothing at all. I’m not angry about it. He’s someone I have no connections with, so why should I get angry over him? I was just talking about it casually…”

Compared to [Northern Tea], Mister Numbers is so much better…

Afraid that [111111] would feel burdened by the earlier incident, Shi Yao added, “Anyway, he already deleted me from his friend list, so let’s put this behind us. It’s a waste of our saliva to talk about him. Alright, let’s get back to the game!”

…

Lin Jiage wiped his nose silently, tapping on the screen with his other free hand and sent over an “OK”. After which, he switched their original Squad mode into Duo mode instead before starting the game.

To Lin Jiage, the greatest joy of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds lay in jumping into areas filled with people and eliminating them one after another.

However, it was a pity that he was carrying a huge burden known as Big White Chubby with him. If he tried jumping into crowded areas with her, she would probably turn cold right after landing on the ground.

Thus, Lin Jiage chose to jump at the very end of the flight, an area where no one would usually opt to jump from.

After landing, Lin Jiage immediately entered a nearby room to loot for equipment. While he was looting a frag grenade, he suddenly remembered how [Northern Tea] had praised Big White Chubby for saving him in the afternoon. So, he unhesitatingly pulled the pin off the grenade and bombed himself to death.

“Ahh! How did you die?! Where are you? Is there anyone around you? What should I do?!”

In the next moment, a series of questions popped up from the panicking and helpless Big White Chubby. Lin Jiage rolled his eyes before replying slowly, “There’s no one around. My hand slipped, and I accidentally detonated a grenade on myself. I need you to come here and help me up.”

“Ohhhh, I see…” After [Yao Loves Ice Cream] said this, Lin Jiage heard the sounds of her approaching footsteps.

But in less than ten seconds after Lin Jiage was saved, he suddenly collapsed to the ground once more.

[Yao Loves Ice Cream]: “Your hand slipped again?”

[111111]: “That’s not it. I was planning to throw the grenade upstairs, but I didn’t think it would hit the wall and fall back to me instead…”

“Oh.”[Yao Loves Ice Cream], who was in the middle of munching on something, replied with a muffled voice before rushing over to help Lin Jiage up.

About thirty seconds later, Lin Jiage managed to find a motorbike and began speeding around. He would charge straight towards all the rocks in his path, and just as he’d intended, he eventually fell off his bike and collapsed on the ground.

For the third time, [Yao Loves Ice Cream] helped Lin Jiage up. Around this timing, the blue zone happened to close in on them. Lin Jiage swiftly ran towards the closest safe area, but he stopped right before it, choosing not to enter. It was only after the poison knocked him down that he slowly crawled his way inside.

So, for the fourth time, [Yao Loves Ice Cream] helped him up.

But he didn’t stop just because of that. In the second last circle, while he was fighting with another player, he intentionally chose to stop moving and allowed the other player to gun him down…

Author’s note: I thought it would be good if I did another explanation of the game for those who aren’t too sure what’s going on.

At the start of the game, players will be in an airplane which travels all around the map. Players can choose to parachute wherever they want.

Sometime after landing, a large blue circle will appear. The area beyond the blue circle is known as the ‘blue zone’, and it contains poison which will slowly wear away the player’s life.

In fixed intervals, the blue circle will shrink into a smaller circle (10th circle -> 9th circle -> 8th circle… second-to-last circle -> final circle; each circle is a subset of the previous). Players who don’t enter the smaller circle on time will take damage from the poison.

In the final circle, there will be a countdown before the safe zone disappears altogether. The final player standing at the end will be declared the ultimate winner.

During the game, the players aim to loot equipment from houses and anywhere else in order to arm themselves to face other players, especially in the final circle.

Level 3 Backpack allows you to carry more stuff, while Level 3 Armor and such grants you greater protection from the other players’ attacks.

First Aid, Bandage, and similar items heal the players’ life. They are extremely important, especially for surviving at the very end.

Well, that’s basically the gist of the game. I hope this clarifies things for those who haven’t really played PUBG before.
