I Really Didn't Mean to Make Money

“Then let’s try out that Survival Mode.”

Chen Cong nodded and didn’t insist on continuing with the Biohazard Mode.

After all, both Ghost and Biohazard Mode were fun, so this Survival Mode should also be enjoyable. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.

Entering Survival Mode, the first thing was a series of tutorial screens covering shooting, scopes, vehicles, parachuting, and more.

This entire series of teachings surprisingly took a full half hour.

However, both Chen Cong and Du Ziteng were not the slightest bit impatient. Instead, they were quite interested.

What was taught in these tutorials was something they had never encountered in the shooting games they played.

It was extremely novel.

Once they understood all the tutorials for Survival Mode, both of them had a good grasp of how it worked.

Confirming that the other members of the club had also finished watching the tutorials, they directly customized a room and brought all the club members into it.

There were more than 20 people in total.

However, in Survival Mode, the maximum number of players could actually be 100, with over 70 bots set up, and they started the game right away.

First, they arrived at a Spawn Point and entered a countdown.

Once the countdown ended, everyone boarded a plane, with the flight path displayed on the map.

These details had just been mentioned in the game explanation.

Chen Cong opened the map, casually selected a location, and then opted to parachute.

Watching the character drop rapidly in the game, listening to the whistling wind around him and seeing the increasingly larger buildings below, Chen Cong felt an overwhelming rush, as if he were truly there.

This game was incredibly realistic.

Once safely landed, Chen Cong quickly controlled his character to run toward a distant building.

According to the tutorial video, he needed to search for supplies first.

Entering a house, Chen Cong wasn’t sure what would be useful, so he picked up everything he saw.

However, it wasn’t long before he couldn’t pick up more items, and a prompt said “insufficient space.”

This couldn’t hold any more?

Frowning, Chen Cong gazed at the location; there was still plenty of supplies, and he felt a bit reluctant to leave them behind.

With no other choice, he had to explore piece by piece, figuring out what was useful and what wasn’t.

Although there had been tutorial videos, they only covered the general gameplay and some key items.

After incessant searching, he finally figured out some tricks, discovering that the space for carrying supplies was related to his backpack and armor; the higher the level, the more space available.

Tap tap tap!

Just as Chen Cong was about to continue searching for supplies, he heard footsteps approaching.

Someone was coming.

Chen Cong suddenly tensed up, crouching in the corner of the room with his gun at the ready.

This feeling of tension was something he hadn’t experienced in other shooting games for a long time.

Basically, it was just rushing out, respawning, and rushing out again.

Finding enjoyment had become difficult, but this game made him feel that thrilling excitement once more, just like when he first encountered shooting games.

Before long, he saw someone walking by the window. Noticing this, Chen Cong aimed his gun and fired a burst, taking them out with a single shot.

I killed someone!

Excited, Chen Cong controlled his character to rush outside, where the person had turned into a box, and he started searching their supplies.

Before long.

The map suddenly displayed that the Safe Zone was shrinking. Chen Cong glanced and saw that he was not within the Safe Zone.

He knew he had to head toward the Safe Zone.

Quickly, he controlled his character to run toward the Safe Zone.

Just as he reached the road, the entire Game Interface blacked out—he died.

What happened?!

Chen Cong was a bit dazed; how did he suddenly die when he was walking just fine?

Soon, the game entered the scoring screen, and he finally saw who had killed him.

[Gan Jiu Emperor] killed you using the M24 Sniper Rifle.

Gan Jiu Emperor!

Sniped!

Out of curiosity, Chen Cong clicked on the Death Replay.

He entered the replay interface.

There he saw Gan Jiu Emperor crouched on a rooftop, observing the surroundings. He quickly spotted a person running on the road—likely him.

Then the view zoomed in, and his figure appeared clearer.

That was the scope!

Having played competitive games before, he naturally knew that this sudden zoomed-in view came from the sniper rifle being equipped with a scope.

On the screen, there was no suspense left; the crosshairs aligned with his head, and a single shot ended it.

Chen Cong exited the Death Replay.

Damn, I got blindsided by that old sneak, Gan Jiu Emperor.

No way, I also want to play sniper.

“Old Du, let’s start another round.”

“I’m not finished yet, wait until I die.”

Du Ziteng replied without looking up from the computer screen, as if encountering some enemies.

Seeing this, Chen Cong stood up and walked over, only to see Du Ziteng take out another player with a single shot.

After watching for a while, seeing that Du Ziteng wouldn’t be dying anytime soon, he directly walked out of the office and went to a nearby room.

This room held seven computers, and all were occupied by club members intensely playing [Extreme Survival].

Chen Cong glanced over and noticed that a few of them had already died.

Looking toward the corner, he saw Gan Jiu Emperor Jiang Jiu using a scope to observe the enemy’s movements, clearly having changed positions.

It was this guy who shot him down.

After pondering this, he walked over with a smile.

“Is the sniper rifle fun?”

“It’s fun! This game is so hardcore. There are many different scopes in this game; I just picked up a 4x scope and an 8x scope. Using the 8x scope from a high point is like shooting fish in a barrel.”

Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Jiang Jiu instinctively replied.

But soon he realized how familiar the voice was and looked back.

“Hao Ge, why are you here? Aren’t you playing the game?”

Chen Cong’s expression stiffened for a moment, then he quickly fabricated an excuse.

“Just came to see how you guys are doing. This is a test game, and we need to find some flaws or bugs.”

“I know, Hao Ge, I’ll pay attention to that.”

Jiang Jiu nodded and suddenly spotted a figure in the distance, hurriedly controlling his character to use the scope, aiming and shooting in one smooth motion, instantly killing that person.

Watching from behind, Chen Cong felt his hands itching. Now that was how a sniper should operate.

Eliminating foes from a thousand meters away.

“Hey, Jiang Jiu, can you move? I find the sniper rifle quite interesting, and I’d like to give it a try.”

“Ah! Oh!”

Jiang Jiu glanced at the Game Interface, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately got up and vacated his spot.

With a smile, Chen Cong sat down in Jiang Jiu’s seat, taking over his game.

Jiang Jiu stood quietly behind, watching.

Before long, another figure appeared in the distance.

Bang bang bang!

Chen Cong excitedly aimed through the scope and shot.

Five bullets, five consecutive shots.

All missed.
