Picking Up Fragments

Grimmmz became famous much earlier than Jiang Siming. Not long after the public beta of PUBG, Grimmmz had already become renowned in North America, earning the nickname "G God." Like Jiang Siming, he was also famous for his sniper skills, and his playstyle was extremely aggressive, which was widely loved by players from various countries. Unfortunately, Grimmmz chose not to join any professional teams or participate in competitions, and to this day, he remains just a casual player.

When in London, a host had asked Jiang Siming who he thought was stronger between himself and Grimmmz. At the time, Jiang Siming answered without hesitation that he was much stronger. This statement actually caused quite a stir in the North American region, with many of Grimmmz's fans being very displeased. They felt that Grimmmz just didn't participate in professional competitions, but if he did, Jiang Siming wouldn't even have a say, at least in terms of sniping. Some media outlets also interviewed Grimmmz about his thoughts on Jiang Siming's statement. Grimmmz also expressed his displeasure and publicly stated that he wanted to have a showdown with Jiang Siming.

Now, it seems that both of them have their chance. During the chaos in P City, Grimmmz had already seen the information popping up in the top right corner. Since Jiang Siming was playing his main account, a quick confirmation revealed that this person was indeed Jiang Siming from 4AM. Moreover, Grimmmz had with him a very strong teammate, Shroud! The two of them were known as the strongest casual players in North America, with Shroud being renowned as the best assault player, his assault rifles being universally recognized as world-class. Together, their combined strength was on par with any professional team player, and in terms of individual prowess, they might even be stronger.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What do you think, should we go for it?" 17shou asked.

"Definitely, we must go for it. It's rare to encounter someone worth facing, so we should hurry over," Jiang Siming said without any worry.

Actually, he didn't need to take this risk at all, as he had already become a world champion and didn't need to prove himself anymore. If he loses, he'll lose a lot of face. 17shou feels that if it were him, he probably wouldn't seek out trouble with the other party, after all, reputation is very important. But since Jiang Siming has spoken, he can only hurry to the school. At the same time, God and Shroud are also very much looking forward to their match against Jiang Siming. In their view, Jiang Siming is a rising star, a junior, who, although he has won the world championship, shows no respect to them, the seniors.

He even declared in front of the whole world that he is much stronger than them, which is something no one would accept without feeling indignant. "This is a great opportunity, Grimmmz, you need to perform well. If it really comes to a 2v2, I'll help you suppress that 17shou," Shroud said. "Don't worry, I'm confident. This guy's strongest skill is instant sniping, but my sniper rifle isn't just for show. Besides, I've been practicing instant sniping recently, and although I haven't made much progress, my skills have improved a lot. I think it should be enough to handle him."

"Let's hope so. Both of us are streaming this match, and with so many viewers watching, if we lose... But if we lose, it won't be embarrassing. The world champion will be the biggest loser."

"Hahaha, that makes sense." The two of them talked very casually, as if they didn't take Jiang Siming seriously. The old generation of experts all have this nasty habit, looking down on newcomers and thinking they are the strongest. As they were talking, they heard a car coming from the southeast direction toward them. At first, they thought it was just a passing player, but when God fired a shot, he realized something was off. The car easily swerved to avoid his bullet.

Another shot, and he missed again. God began to have a premonition that the opponent was definitely not an ordinary player. Moreover, the car didn't drive away. It stopped near the school's apartment complex. One of the people in the car fired a 98k shot blindly at God's position. "It seems like Ming is here!" Shroud exclaimed. Previously, looking at the information in the top right corner, Jiang Siming was using a 98k.

"It's probably him," God G said somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect them to be so eager to come and face us head-on. I thought we would have to wait until the final circle."

"Maybe they're afraid we'll get killed by other players, haha." Shroud said sarcastically.

"Since they've come here on their own, let's welcome them." After saying that, God G found a small corner window, but he only dared to peek out from it, not daring to aim his scope for the moment. He had watched Jiang Siming's gameplay videos more than twenty times and knew very well Jiang Siming's specialties.

Instant aiming, godlike gun skills, extremely aggressive, and very precise at locating enemies. If Jiang Siming discovered his position, it would take no more than a second for God G to receive a bullet through his helmet.

Shroud also didn't dare to move recklessly, positioning himself at the school's back fence to prevent them from flanking. The distance and cover were roughly the same for both sides, making it a very fair gunfight.

Moreover, God G, in his arrogance, even took off his Level 3 helmet. He wanted to defeat Jiang Siming in the fairest way possible, so no one could say anything about it. After all, in a sniper duel, apart from a Level 3 helmet which can block a single shot from a sniper rifle, other helmets are practically useless.

Experience tales at empire

There was a brief silence between the two sides. God G's team didn't dare to shoot first, as it would reveal their position prematurely, giving the other side the chance to pre-aim.

If it were a fight against normal players, God G wouldn't mind this slight disadvantage. But the opponent was the world champion, the official PUBG monster recognized by Bluehole.

He had to calculate even the tiniest advantages, gathering them all for a surefire victory. He didn't shoot, but Jiang Siming had no such patience. He poked his head out the window and fired a shot at the school randomly, exposing his position without any reserve. "Very well, you will pay the price for your arrogance!" G God said with excitement.

His hands, however, didn't pause for a moment, and he brought his AWM to the window, scoped in to lock onto the spot where Jiang Siming had just shown himself. But Jiang Siming acted as if he was completely unaware, poking his head out the window again, seemingly ready to fire another warning shot. G God's audience held their breath, wondering if the world champion was really going to fall so easily under G God's gun.

Even G God almost believed it, and the moment Jiang Siming's arm appeared, G God decisively pulled the trigger! Firing early, as long as the opponent showed even a bit more of himself, the AWM bullet would pierce his head, or at the very least, his chest. But to his surprise, the bullet only hit the wall inside the opponent's house; there was no sign of blood. G God immediately understood. Jiang Siming had deliberately shown his arm, making him think he was about to come out and shoot, but in reality, he had only shown that much before retreating quickly, causing the bullet to miss. He had been tricked. "This kind of petty cleverness isn't worth showing off," G God thought, sneering inwardly. But his eyes were now more focused on the screen...
