What do you mean the games you make are all real?!

Chapter 74 Speedrunning Against the Clock (4200)

"Just follow behind me and use my phantom to clear the level. If you still can't get into the top 100, don't blame me."

Liao Yunkai checked the time; there were still five minutes until seven o'clock. He immediately put the virtual reality headset back on.

"Don't worry, Kai-ge, I'll definitely follow closely behind you." Captain Ao nodded quickly, his tone unusually serious.

During those few hours of intensive training, he followed Liao Yunkai's illusory figure and went through the first three chapters all at once.

It was during those few hours of training that he fully realized the gap between himself and Liao Yunkai; Liao Yunkai's gaming skills were several levels above his.

He now finally understood how incredibly lucky he was to have become the first person in the world to complete Resident Evil Chapter 3.

This, of course, made him even more confident in receiving the invitation.

The final chapter is entirely new content that no one has played before. Everyone is starting from the same point, so no matter how fast you finish, you won't be that fast.

Following behind Liao Yunkai is like having one of the world's top players help him clear the way. If he still can't break into the top 100, then he should really quit the game.

Soon he also put on the virtual reality headset, waiting for the countdown to the new chapter to reach zero, while Liao Yunkai next to him turned on the live broadcast room.

Almost at the same instant the broadcast started, a huge number of viewers flooded into the live stream room like a tidal wave, and the number of online viewers in the upper corner began to jump up at an alarming rate.

"He's streaming! He's streaming! My favorite game streamer is streaming! I've been waiting all day for this moment!"

"How's Kai-ge doing today? Are you confident you can get first place? I've already prepared all the snacks and drinks outside, just waiting to stay up all night with you!"

"Don't ask if he's confident. When has Brother Kai ever let us down? First clear of the prologue, first clear of the second chapter—does anyone still question the value of his two consecutive victories?"

"Hard to say, wasn't Captain Ao the first to clear Chapter 3 last time?"

"You hater, get out of this livestream right now! If you like Captain Ao, go to Captain Ao's livestream! Don't pollute the environment here!"

"Don't get excited, I'm just stating the objective facts. Yosuke Yamashita from Japan, August from the Stars and Stripes Federation, Petrov from the Northern Federation, Schneider from the Duchy of the Rhine, Robert from the Kingdom of Iris, and Williams from Victoria—these top gamers in the world have all started livestreaming and are planning to be the first to clear Resident Evil: The Final Chapter."

"There are even more top-tier and second-tier gamers, too many to count. Unlike the first three levels, where there were no top foreign players vying for the first clear, this time it's a true global competition."

"Yeah, there are just too many experts playing together this time. It's really going to be too difficult for Kai to get the first clear of the final chapter. It's not that Kai isn't strong enough, it's just that all the opponents are monsters."

"You traitors only boost the morale of others and diminish the prestige of your own people! No matter what, I will always support Brother Kai!"

Kai-ge is the strongest!

Liao Yunkai, seeing the constant arguments in the live stream, said, "Alright, stop arguing. I believe everyone already knows that Miteng is planning to hold a speedrun competition. Only the top 100 who complete the final chapter the fastest will receive an invitation. So this time, I probably won't be able to watch the live stream and interact with everyone."

Upon hearing Liao Yunkai's words, the arguments in the live chat immediately ceased, and everyone cheered for Liao Yunkai.

"Keep it up, Kai! Don't worry about us! Getting the invitation is the most important thing! We all understand!"

"That's right! Let those foreigners see the strength of Yan Kingdom players!"

"Go, Kai Ge! Let those foreign streamers see who the real King of Biohazard is! You'll always be number one in our hearts!"

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Kai Ge! We believe in you! Even if you don't get the first clear, you'll still be the strongest player in our hearts!"

Liao Yunkai felt a warmth in his heart when he saw the encouraging comments on the screen, but the pressure on his shoulders also grew heavier.

He took a deep breath and opened Resident Evil. It was seven o'clock, and the final chapter was officially released.

Upon entering the final chapter, the first thing he sees is Claire with a little girl. Because he has played the Claire DLC, he knows why Claire is here.

But he didn't have any extra conversation with Claire, nor did he stop to check on Sherry's condition. He directly controlled Leon to continue rushing forward, wanting to cherish every second in order to get the first pass as much as possible.

He quickly made his way to the staff canteen of the Mother Nest, where he saw the Licker with a new skin.

The comments section immediately started scrolling the moment the new monster was seen.

"Why has our old friend, the Licker, changed his disguise? Wasn't he red before? Why is he grayish-green now?"

"Holy crap! Those two front paws are ridiculous! They're like two scythes! If you get hit by one, you're basically done for!"

? "

Liao Yunkai didn't look at the comments. He drew his shotgun, aimed the muzzle at Licker's exposed brain, and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

The Licker, which hadn't even had a chance to pounce down from the ceiling, fell straight down from mid-air, twitched twice on the ground, and then remained motionless.

Liao Yunkai had been rewatching the first three chapters of Resident Evil over and over again, and had fought the Lickers countless times. He had developed muscle memory for how to deal with these monsters with exposed brains as quickly as possible, and could basically kill one in ten seconds.

Licker Modified is stronger than a regular Licker, but only to a limited extent. He deals with Lickers in a similar way to regular Lickers. After killing the Licker, he grabs the bracelet and continues running forward.

But the barrage of comments started to surge.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! The elite monster from the final chapter! Kai took it down in half a minute! And without even taking any damage!"

"Where are those who said Brother Kai would be crushed by foreign experts? Come out and take your beating! Now! Immediately!"

"But foreign experts are really strong too. I also had August's live stream coming back next to me. He used a pistol to fire rapidly at this Licker. All seven bullets hit the same spot in the brain, and it took him a fraction of a second less than Kai Ge."

"Really? All seven bullets hit the same spot?"

"Seriously, go watch the recordings, the precision is inhuman. The FPS genius of the Stars and Stripes is no joke."

"What about Yosuke Yamashita? How did he fight?"

"Yosuke Yamashita is even more outrageous. He didn't fight the Licker Modified. He just grabbed the bracelet and ran. His footsteps were very light. The Licker didn't even notice him. He's the fastest right now."

"I heard that Yosuke Yamashita received ninja training before, and now it seems very likely that's true!"

"Damn it, Brother Kai's opponents are no ordinary people. This is going to be difficult."

Soon Liao Yunkai encountered a pale-headed zombie and an A-armored zombie, and his pace slowed down.

Both of these new monsters are enemies that appear for the first time in the final chapter. The pale-headed monster has an extremely strong regenerative ability and cannot be killed unless its head is blown off.

The armored zombie was as hard as a lump of iron; bullets hitting it would only send up a string of sparks.

Liao Yunkai had to stop to observe their behavior patterns and weaknesses, and slowly advanced while tentatively firing his gun.

Captain Ao barely managed to crawl out of the restaurant at this point. Although Liao Yunkai's ghostly figure repeatedly demonstrated in front of him, clearly showing him every turning angle and every timing of firing, his skills were still far inferior to Liao Yunkai's.

He could see Liao Yunkai's every move clearly, but he couldn't react the same way at the same time. The slight difference in his movements made all the difference in the outcome.

It took Captain Ao two minutes to finally take down Licker Modified, while Liao Yunkai had already disappeared. Fortunately, Liao Yunkai's phantom image kept repeating the route and movements he had taken.

Not long after, he also encountered the Pale Head and the A-armored zombie, but Liao Yunkai had already arrived at the botanical garden. However, he got stuck in the botanical garden and was killed by the plants inside when he forced his way in.

Not only him, but other game streamers who were live streaming also got stuck.

"Holy crap! This plant is so strong! There are so many vines that I can't possibly clear them all, and there's that flower bud that opens its mouth and bites! Once you're entangled, you don't even have a chance to break free! How am I supposed to fight this?!"

"That walking pitcher plant is outrageous."

"It seems that we need to find the inhibitor to safely get the bracelet inside. Just now, Yosuke Yamashita first explored the surrounding environment and found the formula for the inhibitor in a side laboratory. Then he went to the drug synthesis table and made a vial of inhibitor himself. After injecting it into the air circulation system, all the plants in the botanical garden wilted before he slowly walked in to get the bracelet."

"August found a flamethrower, but his approach was completely different; he wanted to burn them directly with fire."

"Kai-ge, you need to speed things up! You're already falling behind!"

Liao Yunkai didn't have time to check the real-time rankings in the chat, but he knew in his heart that his reckless death just now had wasted a lot of his time. If he went to find an inhibitor now, the gap between him and the other streamers would definitely widen even further.

It seems we still have to force our way through.

The most deadly thing in the botanical garden is the vines. If he wants to get through, he must now perfectly dodge every single one of them.

But if he dies again, he will be completely out of the running for first place, and may not even be able to make it into the top 100.

Fight!

Liao Yunkai gritted his teeth, pushed open the botanical garden door again, dodged the first vine's lash by sidestepping, slid to avoid the second vine's sweep, and fired a shot at the flower bud about to open above his head the moment he stood up. Then he rolled forward without stopping to dodge another vine.

The entire set of movements was fluid and seamless, without a single unnecessary pause.

The comments section was completely stunned.

"My God! Is Kai-ge cheating?! He dodged every single move perfectly!"

"His predictive ability is incredible! How can he know from which direction the vines will attack without even looking?"

"He memorized the entire attack pattern of the plants after his death! Now he's replicating the optimal solution in his mind!"

"Is this the terrifying thing about top speedrunners—they can completely master their enemies after dying just once—"

After a series of dazzling rolls, slides, and precise shots, Liao Yunkai finally rushed to the deepest part of the observation room and grabbed the purple bracelet.

Without pausing for even half a second, he pulled out all the grenades he had on him, used them to clear a path, and then ran back to the transfer station to shut down the East District laboratory.

The comments section erupted with excitement upon seeing this.

"There's still a chance! There's still a chance!"

"Kai is currently in third place! Yamashita Yosuke is leading by about half a minute, and August is leading by more than ten seconds! Neither of them has a particularly large lead, so there are definitely more terrifying monsters to come. The real test will come later, and they'll definitely be able to overtake us!"

"But Brother Kai has used up all his grenades, and we don't know if he can beat the monsters next."

At this time, Liao Yunkai had obtained the G virus sample as quickly as possible and wanted to get closer to the other anchors. Then he met Ada, who had come looking for him.

"Ida! My goddess! She actually came down from the cable car platform to find us! She still has an injury on her leg! She cares about me!"

""

"Holy crap! The US government in the game is going to blow up Raccoon City? With some kind of thermobaric bomb? A missile that's more powerful than a nuclear bomb? Isn't this setting a bit too fantastical?"

"Wait, why did Claire immediately believe Raccoon City would be destroyed when she heard that the power of a thermobaric weapon was comparable to that of a nuclear bomb? Isn't nuclear power used to generate electricity? There's a nuclear power plant right next to my house; I grew up watching those two huge chimneys. Can this stuff be used as a weapon?"

Before the viewers in the live stream could fully recover from the shocking news brought by Ida, even more exciting plot twists unfolded one after another.

William G was knocked down by Annie Birkin, who then accused Ida of being a corporate spy. Afterward, Annie Birkin was slapped away by the arriving Tyrant.

"My wife isn't an FBI agent, she's actually a corporate spy. This premise seems even more intriguing."

"I knew it! What FBI agent would run around in a zombie horde wearing high heels, black stockings, and a bodycon skirt? That's so unprofessional. But if she's a corporate spy, this outfit makes perfect sense. A beautiful, cool, and capable female spy—I love it!"

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. We have to fight the Tyrant again. It seems we can't leave until we take down the Tyrant, and we have to be quick, or the Mother Nest will explode."

"Go, Kai-ge!"

Liao Yunkai tried to kill the tyrant with all the weapons he had, but these weapons, which were invincible against ordinary zombies, seemed to have no effect on the tyrant. It was as if he had returned to the time when he first met the tyrant.

The comments section started scrolling again as soon as they saw this scene, and the viewers' anxiety almost overflowed from the screen.

"Sigh, it seems that using up all the grenades in the botanical garden was a mistake. Now I don't have a single explosive on hand, and I can't do anything to Tyrant. If I had just one grenade left, I wouldn't be in such a passive position."

"Yosuke Yamashita is also stuck. He can't break through the Tyrant. Instead, the Tyrant seizes the opportunity to charge in and get close. He's being used as a football right now."

"It seems August was the optimal solution! His flamethrower caused considerable damage to the Tyrant. The flames burned several large holes in the Tyrant's bulletproof coat, and a large area of ​​his gray skin underneath was charred. Wait a minute—the coat is gone! How did the Tyrant activate the second phase?!"

Just when Liao Yunkai was feeling hopeless and thought he couldn't defeat the Tyrant in a short time, G William, who had fallen to the ground, stood up, mutated, and started fighting the Tyrant.
