Delta: Mandel Bricks drop right at the start!

As soon as I logged out of the game, I received more than twenty messages from Awei.

Lin Rui only picked the last one to read.

"Rui-ge! The final registration list for the Elite Challenge is out! There are thirty-two people in total! I've finished the entire analysis report and attached it to you!"

The document size is 48 MB.

What format did you use?

"PPT! Each contestant prepared three slides! They included screenshots, data, and video links!"

Lin Rui opened the document, a PPT made by Awei. The color scheme was jarring and eye-catching, but the amount of information inside was crammed in.

Each player's commonly used weapons, historical ballistic distribution maps, habitual withdrawal routes, and even a written summary of their operating habits are all clearly marked.

He flipped directly to the page with "Mr. Cannon".

Ah Wei supplemented the original information by adding a video link, which was taken from Mr. Paotai's live broadcast three days ago.

In the video, Mr. Paotai is seen carrying a PKP machine gun and setting it up under the bridge pier in the middle area of ​​Dam Zero, suppressing a full squad of four men on the bridge surface so they cannot move. Then, he slowly pushes them up and kills them one by one.

PKP's recoil is widely recognized as the most difficult to control in the game, but Mr. Turret's recoil control keeps the bullet impact point in the same position from the first shot to the thirtieth shot, making it difficult to discern deviation with the naked eye, unlike any operation that a human hand can perform.

Ah Wei wrote under the video: "There's no way to replicate this recoil control. It's purely a matter of feel and talent."

Lin Rui watched the video twice without fast-forwarding.

His focus wasn't on recoil control, but on Mr. Gunner's movement rhythm.

The PKP is a light machine gun, but it is heavy, and running while holding it will seriously affect your speed.

Mr. Gunner's solution was to never run and fire.

He would simply set up his gun at a fixed point and fire, then quickly move to the next pre-set cover and re-set up his gun. The whole process was exactly like that of a mobile artillery platform.

The time window for each position change is approximately two seconds.

Two seconds. When he moves to a different position, PKP's gun will be pointed downwards and he will be unable to fire.

Lin Rui closed the PowerPoint presentation and opened the in-game equipment inventory.

A fully modified M4A1, a SCAR-H, a red-quality SVD, a purple tactical vest, and Hawkeye goggles.

He planned out the equipment configuration for entering the elite challenge.

Primary weapon: Fully upgraded M4A1. He had just verified its ballistic stability at medium to long range, and its accuracy within 200 meters was sufficient to deal with any opponent.

Secondary weapon: SCAR-H. Its burst damage at close to mid-range is a level higher than the M4A1, making it suitable for sudden encounters.

Armor: Level 6 armor. The best one in his inventory, with 62% durability remaining.

Helmet: Level 4. There aren't any better ones in the warehouse, but a level 4 helmet can withstand one rifle bullet.

Medicines and projectiles are fully stocked.

After completing the equipment planning, he left the warehouse and stood in the safe zone lobby for a while.

Dozens of players were walking around in the lobby, some spamming the auction house, and others shouting at the entrance of the team-up lobby.

An ID walked past him.

"Nightwalker Ice".

Lin Rui recognized the name: the eleventh-ranked player on the Longbow Valley kill leaderboard, the one who had previously sent him a private message wanting to collaborate on opening loot boxes.

Nightcrawler Ice's character appearance is very low-key, consisting of a basic black combat suit without any fancy skins.

The helmet was a standard level 3 helmet, and the model of the firearm on his back was unidentifiable.

As he walked past Lin Rui, he paused for a moment, and the character's head turned towards Lin Rui's direction.

The other person's gaze lingered on Lin Rui for two seconds before turning away and continuing on their way, without saying hello or sending a message.

Lin Rui didn't move either.

But he remembered one thing: Nightcrawler Ice's level had changed from 41 when he last sent a private message to 43.

He leveled up twice in three days, which shows that he had been efficiently grinding in a high-intensity map like Longbow Valley.

Let's leave it for now. There's no rush with the Longbow Valley matter. Let's finish the Elite Challenge first.

He quit the game.

When I took off the VR headset, it was still bright outside the window.

He stretched his neck and picked up the sports drink on the table, taking a couple of sips.

There are two unread messages on my phone.

The first item is the bank's deposit notification.

Today's resource exchange, plus the proceeds from previous auction house sales, resulted in an additional 7.4 million in revenue. The total balance has now surpassed 50 million.

The second message was from an unknown number.

"Hello Mr. Lin Rui, I am Zhou Chen, the sales consultant for the city center luxury apartments. You added the 152-square-meter unit to your favorites on our website last week, and there are only two units left. If you are interested in visiting, please feel free to contact me to schedule a viewing."

He finished reading the text message and exited the message page.

The qualifiers are tomorrow, so we must get all the preparations done tonight.

He turned on his computer and went through Awei's PPT from beginning to end again.

The data of the thirty-two players intertwined in his mind: whose habitual routes would intersect with whose, who liked to stick together, who was a lone wolf, who was aggressive in the early game and conservative in the late game, and who would ambush people at the evacuation point.

Turning to the last page, Ah Wei added an extra page of notes.

"Brother Rui, there are 32 people in this competition. According to the rules, the top eight will advance, but in reality, there are only five or six real opponents. The remaining 20 or so are either average players who are just there to make up the numbers, or gamblers who want to take a chance."

The core threats you need to pay attention to:

1. Mr. Cannon, I don't need to say more.

2. ID 'Chain', Level 38, ranked in the top ten on both Longbow Valley and Zero Dam leaderboards. Skilled at mid-range kiting, never engages in direct confrontation, and adept at using terrain and items to wear down opponents.

3. ID 'Position 3', Level 35, KZ team's second team player, with rich tournament experience, strong mental resilience, and a steady playstyle that makes it difficult for opponents to play.

I've done a brief analysis of the others, but they don't pose much of a threat to you.

Lin Rui mentally reviewed the three names that Awei had circled.

Mr. Cannon, Chain, Position 3.

Three potential targets for plundering.

He shut down his computer and walked to the window.

The streetlights outside the window are already on.

Downstairs on the street, a delivery truck was unloading goods, and he could clearly see the labels on the cardboard boxes.

The enhanced vision deteriorated less at night than he had expected.

He returned to the table and took out the remaining enhancement points.

Five points for enhancing dynamic vision.

injection.

My head was swept by the heat again, and the vibration from deep within my eyes was clearer than before.

He forced himself to keep his eyes open, allowing the process to continue with his eyes open.

A dozen seconds later, the world in his eyes was completely reconstructed.

The wood grain of the furniture, the particles of the wall paint, the folds of the curtains as they sway gently in the breeze—every frame is broken down into incredibly detailed pieces.

He picked up the pen on the table again, but this time he didn't toss it into the air.

He flicked the pen tip with his finger, and the pen spun rapidly on the table.

The pen spun rapidly on the table, and he could distinguish the angle of each letter of the brand logo printed on the pen.

The dynamic visual acuity level improved from 1 to 2.

[Level 2 Effect: Clearly captures the trajectory of moving objects at speeds up to 200 km/h.]

Two hundred kilometers per hour.

In the game, most bullets travel at speeds far exceeding this value.

However, the initial direction of the trajectory, that is, the displacement velocity generated at the moment of firing, which is the muzzle flash and the direction the gun barrel is pointing, falls exactly within this range.

This means that he can pinpoint the exact direction of the gun muzzle the moment his opponent pulls the trigger.

The final card played before the game was revealed.
