Blushing already?
Yin Chen smiled as he looked at Zong Cheng’s bright red earlobes.
He couldn’t help himself and even reached out to touch them.
I have to say, they felt just as good as ever.
He’s just so cute!
Just as expected of his boyfriend.
Zong Cheng held back for a moment, then silently turned his head away.
“Let’s watch the match.”
In public!
This isn’t right!
On the field.
Of the twenty-five teams, only the final five remain.
On the BZ side, Zhang Taining, while cleaning up stragglers, unfortunately ran into another team’s extreme 1-for-2 trade and went down outside the safe zone.
Meanwhile, DCC had held the high ground from start to finish, with all three members still unscathed.
“Bro Zhuo, how’s it looking? Can you snipe them?”
Controlling his in-game character to drop smoke/flash grenades and pick up a hand grenade, March spoke calmly.
“No.”
Zhuo Fan compared their positions and furrowed his brow slightly.
“They’re in the building complex—their position is too good. The moment I fire, our position will be exposed. Plus, I saw one of them is carrying an AWM sniper rifle and wearing a Level 3 helmet. I’m using an M24 and a Level 2 helmet—I’m at a huge disadvantage in a sniper duel.”
A single shot from an AWM can take down a Level 2 helmet.
But it takes two shots from an M24 to take down a Level 3 helmet—he’s completely at a disadvantage.
Tang Chen’s ears twitched slightly.
“March, Brother Zhuo, there’s a team coming in close.”
Yin Chen: “Things aren’t looking good for them.”
Things are looking bad!
There’s a two-man squad approaching from the front, and DCC players are still sniping at us from the rear. It feels like BZ is in a tight spot right now.
He couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
However, upon reflection, the fact that BZ had made it to the Spring Finals was already a massive upset—he should be satisfied with that.
Zong Cheng nodded briefly, then said in a low voice.
“There’s still a chance. Let’s see how they perform.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Tang Chen had already charged forward.
“Don’t rush in…”
Just as Zhang Taining was about to call him back, he saw the notification that Tang Chen had taken down an enemy.
He thought for a moment, then silently kept his mouth shut.
Never mind. Tang Chen and his gunplay are a fifty-fifty match. I’ll trust his skills.
Tang Chen’s gunplay was indeed formidable.
Especially when they held a small high ground and the enemies were charging up the slope from below.
Tang Chen single-handedly took out one quickly, and March swiftly joined him to press down the slope.
The squad at the bottom of the slope must have anticipated this; they didn’t even bother laying down smoke to cover their retreat, instead setting off two grenades—one on the left, one on the right—forcing Tang Chen and March to dodge slightly.
The enemies seized the opportunity to flank up from the bottom of the slope, aiming to take out Tang Chen in one fell swoop!
“Bang!”
A gunshot rang out.
Tang Chen pulled off a last-second counter-kill.
Both enemies were eliminated.
Zong Cheng looked at the camera and gave a nod of approval.
“Their sniper and teammate worked together really well.”
Indeed.
Yin Chen nodded.
If it weren’t for Zhuo Fan sniping them with an M24 from the rear, Tang Chen would likely have been taken down.
With a ten-second revive and the time spent reviving and healing, getting into the circle wouldn’t be so easy for them.
The final circle spawned in Lion City.
DCC had secured the prime spot, while the other two teams were down to 2+1.
The three-man squads from DCC and BZ were actually the strongest lineups.
Yin Chen watched for a moment and sighed with a hint of regret.
“BZ has almost no chance of winning.”
DCC was right up on the building where everyone could see them, but that position was just too good.
BZ, on the other hand, was in a residential area across the street from the building—not only were they outside the circle, but there was even another squad right on their side.
As long as they make it into the circle, they’ll have to take out that squad first.
“Captain, what should we do?”
Tang Chen quickly scanned the terrain and silently cursed under his breath.
Their position was too disadvantageous!
Zhuo Fan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
This position was indeed awkward.
He thought for a moment, then spoke up.
“Here’s what we’ll do: we have a vehicle. You drive it straight into the center. I’ll throw grenades to pin them down here and draw some fire from the building at the same time.”
After all, they’d made it to the final circle, and as a sniper, he was basically useless now.
It would be more effective to leave Tang Chen, who was a stronger close-quarters fighter, behind.
“No.”
March flatly rejected his suggestion.
He looked at the road and did some quick calculations.
Suddenly, he spoke up, “Let’s go steal the car from the team next to us.”
“Steal a car???”
Tang Chen looked completely baffled. What was the point of stealing a car at a time like this?
A few seconds later!
The captain of the TGE squad in the adjacent building perked up.
“Someone’s coming from next door!”
The team members grew tense.
“Should we attack them right away? But there’s a team on the floor above…”
No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard the sound of a car starting.
He froze, then immediately peered out the window!
“Damn! They’re stealing a car!”
“What?”
In the building across the street, the DCC team looked just as baffled.
“Captain! They’re driving off!”
“??? Then open fire! What are you waiting for?”
“But… there doesn’t seem to be anyone in the car?”
“What do you mean, no one?”
Five minutes later.
Commentator: “The match is over—! Let’s congratulate the winning team, DCC!”
It’s a bit of a shame.
Yin Chen and Zong Cheng stood up together and clapped.
Zong Cheng looked at him, his hand quietly reaching toward Yin Chen’s waist but stopping short.
“It’s just the Spring Season. BZ doing well enough to take second place is already pretty good.”
Yin Chen glanced at his hand and smiled.
“I know.”
It was impressive enough for a newly formed team to make it to the finals.
Besides, with such thoughtful comfort from his boyfriend, he naturally wouldn’t be too upset.
Moreover.
Actually, BZ had played quite brilliantly.
Back on stage, Tang Chen looked a bit deflated.
We didn’t win the championship!
But then he had a change of heart and jumped in front of March.
“Captain, what’s going on in your head? How did you even think of using a car as cover to help us get through?”
That was absolutely brilliant!
He never would have guessed that stealing the car was for this!
March looked a little embarrassed.
“But we still lost.”
“So what if we lost! We just weren’t as good as them, but that move of yours was seriously awesome!”
Tang Chen couldn’t help but get excited as he spoke!
That was seriously impressive! To actually think of stealing a car and using two vehicles as cover to slip past!
The team whose car was stolen was practically fuming!
It’s just a shame that DCC’s AWM was so devastating.
One shot, one kill—and with their unbeatable vantage point, it was only to be expected that they’d lose.
“But…”
March was about to say something else.
Zhang Taining came over from the side and hooked his arm around March’s neck.
“Alright, stop with the ‘buts.’ You’re just awesome, that’s all. Come on, let’s go get ready for the interview. Even though we lost, we’re still runners-up, so don’t be too down.” ”
“That’s right, let’s go. Let’s aim for the championship in the fall tournament.”
Zhuo Fan also walked over, tugging on his arm with a faint smile.
Although they’d lost this match, he sensed an atmosphere here that he hadn’t felt at ZWG.
This was actually pretty good.
Their relationship seems pretty good?
Yin Chen stared at the stage for a moment.
Suddenly, his gaze lingered briefly on Zhang Taining’s face.
Zhang Taining didn’t seem too happy?
Was it because they didn’t win the championship?
Or was it…?
The Spring Season had ended, and BZ, as a newly formed team, had made it straight to the finals. Although they didn’t take home the championship, still!
BZ was a brand-new team!
Just making it to the finals was a massive upset!
Especially Captain March’s final play-calling to steal the kill in the championship match—it was nothing short of a stroke of genius.
Honorable defeat!
As soon as Yuan Miaomiao saw how things were shaping up, she knew she couldn’t let this opportunity slip by.
She had to seize the moment to gain even more fans!
Especially since her brother’s fanbase was massive!
While she frantically opened threads on major gaming forums, she couldn’t resist glancing at her phone.
It’s money—glittering, white money!
President Yin actually threw money at her, the top fan!
That’s exactly the style of a domineering CEO!
She absolutely loved it!
Isn’t it just about boosting BZ’s popularity?
She’s got this!
Yuan Miaomiao looked at the balance on her phone and took a slow, deep breath.
So what if it’s just popularity?
She’s got plenty of ways to handle it!
That evening.
A post slowly appeared on the gaming forum.
“These Things Actually Happened During the DCC vs. BZ Showdown! A Group of Big Guys Did This to a Single Woman—”
Forum users immediately clicked in to check it out!
The title alone looked explosive…
The users who clicked in were stunned.
The post contained nothing less than photos from the day of the finals, showing DCC’s male fans quickly changing the text on their light boards to publicly confess their feelings to BZ’s female fans!
“…I have mixed feelings. I really want to call the OP a ‘shock-seeker,’ but to be honest, I was genuinely shocked.”
“Me too…”
“I was totally caught off guard by DCC’s fans’ sudden, wild move…”
“Let’s be real, did DCC win the championship partly because this incident gave them a ‘rage boost’? If I were DCC, I’d have to be pretty resilient not to have died of anger right there on the spot.”
“Same here.”
“Am I the only one who thinks this BZ girl is actually really pretty?”
This reply quickly racked up a string of likes.
Forum veterans rushed to comment—“Bro, you’ve spoken for all of us!”
“Ahem, ahem. So, if I were to join BZ’s fan group, wouldn’t that mean…?”
“? You’re not right in the head.”
“? You’re seriously not right in the head.”
“Farewell, brothers! I’m taking my leave first!”
“Damn it! You perverts! Take me with you! Tell me how to join the group!”
The forum seemed harmonious at first, but gradually a new voice began to emerge.
“A bunch of perverts. Isn’t there a single analyst here who can explain how BZ managed to make it to the finals?”
“What’s there to analyze? ZWG basically fed the whole team and got eliminated. The remaining teams were all pretty much on the same level. BZ might be a new team, but I’ve watched their streamers a few times—they train like their lives depend on it every day. Isn’t it totally normal for them to make it to the finals?”
“Um… just because they train hard doesn’t necessarily mean making it to the finals is normal, right? I can’t help but feel it’s probably the power of capital at play. You guys haven’t forgotten who’s backing BZ, have you?”
“Huh? What do you mean, OP? I smell a big scandal here.”
“What else could it mean? It’s a battle of capital, of course. You guys haven’t been following the gossip, have you? First, someone set up the BZ team, then the Oriental Group established the DF team, and then they acquired ZWG, the big favorite. You can tell there’s something fishy going on here, right? Do I even need to go into detail about what happened after that? The capital manipulation is way too obvious. If BZ hadn’t been too flashy by winning the championship outright this time, I bet they would’ve snagged the title anyway.”

How to Handle Multiple 2D Characters Proposing at Once
Author: Full and Sleepy
Search ID 4380050 to go straight there!
Synopsis: Su Yan is obsessed with a otome mobile game and has successfully “conquered” five S-rank male characters in the game. Little did she know that when she woke up, she had been transported to another world. With her affection levels for all five of her “conquests” at 100%, they all asked her out at the same time, ready to propose.
Is that it?
Su Yan looked completely unfazed.
First, she went out to dinner with Number One. “I’m sorry, but I don’t think we’re a good match.”
Then, at the mall, she bought gifts for Numbers Two and Three and mailed them: “I think you deserve better.”
That night, she went clubbing with Number Four, pretended to be drunk to confess her feelings, but deliberately called him by the wrong name. At the same time, she made the most of her time to have a heated online argument with Number Five, and finally blocked them all with a single tap.
#As long as I cut them off fast enough, the “jerk” label can’t catch up to me#. Feels great.
The next day.
As soon as Su Yan opened the door, the five suitors stood there, their faces as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Su Yan: “?????????”
Su Yan: “Is it too late for me to die right here and now?”
