Delta: Mandel Bricks drop right at the start!

Mr. Cannon's box was heavier than his gun.

Lin Rui crouched down to inspect the contents. The ammunition belt of the PKP machine gun slipped off the side of the box, and the copper-cased bullets hit the cement ground with a series of crisp sounds.

The level 6 armor was half-broken and rendered useless. The PKP machine gun was too heavy and would hinder movement, so it was also abandoned.

He reached into the bottom of the box and found what he wanted.

A red-quality grip accessory, the "Scorpion Tail" tactical grip, compatible with all assault rifle platforms.

This thing can reduce recoil by another 8%, and it has been listed at auction houses for over 1.2 million for a long time.

Received.

A new notification popped up in the upper right corner of the system panel.

[Entry Record: The core skill of the captured target "Mr. Turret"—Extreme Recoil Control (Blue Quality). Current Loot Points: 1. Consume Loot Points to activate this entry?]

The quality is blue.

Lin Rui glanced at it and then selected "No".

Mr. Turret's recoil control skills are indeed excellent, but it's too wasteful to spend his only loot point on a blue attribute.

His previous record of "Steel Armor Mastery" was also blue, and he had kept it without using it.

The two blue entries can be saved for later, to be used when purple or even higher quality targets appear.

The system notification box is hidden.

There are nineteen minutes left in the countdown to the match.

A message from Ah Wei popped up again.

"Brother Rui! Boss Yu's live stream viewership has surpassed 40,000! He recounted your route around the drainage ditch using a map! The chat is flooded with 'Drainage Ditch God of War'!"

Lin Rui didn't reply. He stood up and left the alleyway.

The perspective scan extended in all directions. One hundred and twenty meters to the east, two red outlines moved inside the same building, while in the distance to the southwest, a single red dot moved along the wall.

He chose to go north.

The north side is the main structural area of ​​the dam, with a high density of materials, and it is also the only way to the evacuation point on the east side.

In tournament mode, the evacuation point opens in the last five minutes, so now is the perfect time to get a good spot.

After running two hundred meters, we entered the main structure area.

The factory buildings, pipes, and steel structures formed a metal jungle.

The walkway beneath your feet is made of hollowed-out steel plates, and each step produces a metallic echo.

The fluoroscopic scan marked a red outline sixty meters ahead.

The man was crouching next to a thick exhaust pipe, holding a long, slender weapon in his hand—an HK416.

HK416.

Ah Wei's report stated that the chain's usual weapon was the HK416.

Lin Rui slowed his pace. He retreated behind a steel pillar and peered ahead through the gaps in the perforated steel plate.

The chain wasn't searching for supplies. He crouched motionless beside the pipe, his gun pointed at the entrance to the passage to the south.

They're squatting down.

The direction of the south passageway is exactly the extension of the alleyway area where Lin Rui and Mr. Paotai were fighting.

Hearing the gunshots, he deduced that the winner would come from the south and set up an ambush position in advance.

The standard "chain" style of play: never engage in direct confrontation, and always use terrain and information gaps to wear down the opponent.

But he didn't know that Lin Rui had X-ray vision.

Sixty meters long, with a single pipe and two layers of steel frame for protection.

Lin Rui's M4A1 can hit at this distance, but the angle is tricky, which will greatly reduce the hit rate. If he fails to kill the target, he will only expose his position.

He did not choose to engage in battle.

In the tournament scoring system, the number of kills is multiplied by 1,000 and the value of the evacuation supplies is added.

He already has three high-value kills and a backpack full of top-tier gear, so there's no need to gamble on an uncertain fight for an extra thousand points.

Chain is a top-ten player on both leaderboards, with a win rate of over 70% in head-on battles. However, if he makes a mistake, the entire game will be for nothing.

Lin Rui made a large detour to the east, passing through the outer corridor of the main structure area, thus avoiding the ambush range of the chains.

After walking 200 meters, he found a spot on the base of an abandoned construction crane, squatted down, and opened the real-time rankings for the competition.

Current number of survivors: 14.

Lin Rui is ranked first on the kill leaderboard with 3 kills.

Second place: Chains, 3 kills.

Third place: Position 3, 2 kills.

Lin Rui had the same number of kills as Chain, but the total value of the loot he carried was far greater than Chain's.

If they manage to evacuate successfully, they will most likely take first place in the overall standings.

For the rest of his time, he doesn't need to take any risks.

Over the next fifteen minutes, he used his X-ray vision to avoid all the detected players and arrived at the east dock three minutes before the extraction point opened.

One of the competitors was already waiting on the dock.

The X-ray revealed that the man was hiding in the crane operator's cab, holding a rifle and pointing it at the dock entrance.

Lin Rui crawled under the cargo conveyor belt on the west side of the dock, circling around to the blind spot of the crane.

The man was completely focused on the dock entrance and was oblivious to the danger to his side and rear.

Twenty meters.

The SCAR-H assault rifle emerged from the gap in the crane chassis and fired two bursts.

The opponent's level 4 armor blocked the first bullet, but the second bullet pierced his waist.

He climbed out of the cab to find cover, but the dock was empty except for the crane and the iron railings.

Lin Rui fired three more shots to finish her off.

The fourth kill.

An evacuation flare was launched. The helicopter landed, and the wind pressure from the rotor blades blew the water on the dock into a mist.

Lin Rui jumped up.

"Evacuation successful."

「赛事积分结算：击杀数4×1000=4000。撤离物资总价值：5，320，000哈夫币。总积分：9，320，000。」

Current ranking: First.

The tournament system displayed a complete ranking list.

First place: Lin Rui. Total points: 932 million.

Second place: Chains. Total points: 814 million.

Third place, position 3. Total points: 697 million.

From fourth place onwards, the scores drop dramatically, reaching just over four million by eighth place.

The top eight teams will advance to the offline finals.

He ranked first.

The system popped up a window to claim the tournament rewards. The prize for first place in the qualifiers was a custom weapon case of purple quality and a tournament prize of two million Haf coins.

Lin Rui accepted the reward and logged out of the tournament server.

After taking off the virtual reality headset, Lin Rui twisted his sore neck.

The phone screen on the table was lit up, and Awei's message list had already scrolled down three screens.

He didn't read through each message; he dialed directly.

"Rui-ge! Number one!!!"

"Um."

"Boss Yu's live stream peaked at 52,000 viewers! He said you're the most prestigious first place winner in this year's qualifiers! Mr. Cannon spent half an hour reviewing the match in his own live stream afterward, saying he reviewed the drainage ditch play three times and still couldn't figure out when you went into it!"

"He'll be more careful about the terrain next time."

"By the way, Rui, people on the forum are already discussing the roster for the offline finals. You, Chain, and the offlaner have all advanced, and the posts are predicting the matchups for the offline finals."

When will the offline tournament be held?

"Next Saturday! On the main stage of the esports center! The kind with a live audience!"

"understood."

Lin Rui hung up the phone.

He opened the asset page in the system panel.

The total value of all the supplies in the warehouse, plus the tournament rewards, exceeds 23 million HAF coins.

Including the pending orders in the auction house and the account balance, his total in-game assets are approaching 40 million.

He put all the unwanted items in the warehouse up for auction and then opted for a large withdrawal.

The system popped up a conversion window: game currency to real currency 4:1. Forty million Haff coins are equivalent to ten million.

Confirm conversion.

A notification popped up in the mobile banking app that the money had been credited to the account.

"Dear valued customer, your account received a deposit of RMB 10,000,000.00 at 23:47. Current balance: RMB 61,740,000.00."

Sixty-one million seven hundred and forty thousand.

He stared at the string of numbers on the screen for a moment before exiting the banking app.

My finger swiped across the phone screen and opened a car sales platform.

He casually added a few cars to his collection last week, just to look at them and not to take them seriously.

It's different now.

There are three items in my favorites list.

A 1.4 million yuan coupe, a 2.2 million yuan GT sports car, and a 3.6 million yuan high-displacement performance car.

He deleted the one with 1.4 million.

His finger stopped on the GT sports car worth 2.2 million.

Carbon fiber roof, four-liter twin-turbo, 0 to 13.6 seconds.

Another message from Awei has arrived.

"Rui, you're still awake?"

"You didn't sleep either."

"I'm helping you organize the materials for the offline tournament! By the way, do you have any transportation? The offline tournament is at the Chengdong Esports Center, which requires three subway transfers."

"I'll pick up a car tomorrow."

There was a five-second silence on the other end.

"...Pick up the car? Buy a car?"

"Two million or more, is that too much to ask?"

Ah Wei typed and deleted his reply repeatedly, then typed and deleted it again before finally sending a voice message.

The voice in the voice message was slightly distorted: "Brother Rui, let me tell you, it's not an exaggeration at all."

Lin Rui put down his phone and turned off the light.

The streetlight shining through the gap in the curtains illuminated the ceiling. He looked at it for a while, then turned over and went to sleep.
