Am I the only one streaming Sword Art Online on the entire internet?

"So today I'm still using my favorite Kaid. Although it's not very mobile, I really like the pistol that can shoot a long distance and the shotgun. One thing to note is that if we're going to sneak up on someone at the start of the game, we don't need to be so careful about setting up the barbed wire on the walls."

A cool, girlish voice came from the middle-aged man Kaid. She casually threw two electric claws at the already sealed and reinforced wall, then grabbed her single-headed shotgun and headed straight for the window on the first floor of the bank that led to the back alley. She knocked twice on the bottom of the window, revealing a small gap that was barely enough to see a person, and finally cut it into her own pistol.

"If their spawn point is in the back alley, there's a high chance they'll steal something. By the way, new viewers, please follow me!"

[Following a cute female streamer with great skills]

[Waiting for Sinon to wipe out the team]

[Sino-chan's on TV soon! The opposing team has achieved their first breakthrough!]

[What's going on... Holy crap, the enemy's player is playing as a bot? He's not streaming?]

When Shino heard what was said during the live stream, she was a little confused. She switched to the scoreboard and glanced at it, noticing a seemingly familiar ID on the opposing team: EDW.SorinMarkov. He was indeed a very famous FPS player, but she didn't react much. She just crouched there, holding her breath and focusing intently on the exit of the back alley, silently counting down in her mind.

"Is that so...? They were born in the back alley, let me try... Something's happened, we have to run!"

She did see a group of people come out of the back alley, but the guy controlling Ash on the other side looked like a veteran. After walking out of the alley, he immediately set up a standing line and a crouching line at the window, and then fired two shots at the small doorway on the side.

"That Ash on the other side is pretty good. If he camps the lane right away, I'm dead. I need to get out of here quickly, they look like they're rushing... Oh my god! Jungler upstairs, get back to base!"

Sinon's tone was quite urgent. In fact, she had already dropped to the ground when she saw Ash pull the gun line, and while he was turning his gun, she threw a firecracker at the other side of the wall and quickly ran over.

Even so, she was still hit twice by Ash who had reacted, and luckily escaped back to the point with only thirteen points of health.

[Of all people to steal from, why did you have to steal from Grandpa Su... I feel sorry for Shino-chan for a second.]

Speaking of which, could we mention a spot or something? Is anyone watching the live stream over there?

[With your speed, how could you possibly report the location in time? Besides, he wasn't even streaming yet.]

Although Sinon's tone was quite panicked, she herself was quite calm. Rushing through the back alley to the first floor only allowed access through the small door and the window through which she had just stolen someone, and both locations were protected by traps set by friendly operators.

The most crucial one is the lightning mine. Unlike the original PC and console versions, which only reduce DPI and field of view, in full stealth mode, the lightning mine can reliably cause paralysis.

At that moment, Ash, the first to rush in, was hit by a lightning mine and paralyzed. Lesion, standing directly opposite her, was about to fire, but Ash, upon seeing him, immediately went from standing to prone and fired several shots, taking him down.

Ela had already run back upstairs, while Alibi used his firecracker to open the access panel connecting the first-floor office to the second floor. However, Ash reacted even faster. The moment he saw the access panel explode, he locked onto Alibi's position, lay prone on the ground, and fired a burst of bullets, killing Alibi through the ceiling.

Shino could see clearly that Ying and Dokkaebi, who were rushing in with Ash, had already joined him. At that moment, besides her, only Gridlock, who was playing on his phone, was defending the point. She managed to aim at Ash's head for a short time, but from her perspective, Ash's head was constantly changing position, or more precisely, constantly tilting its head left and right.

She had a compulsion: if she could aim for the head, she would never immediately consider shooting the body. However, her compulsion caused her to miss the best opportunity to attack. The experienced Ash on the other side wouldn't waste this chance and easily shot Sinon to the ground.

In the end, the young Ela failed to pull off the feat of turning the tide against five opponents; he simply gave Ash another kill.

"Ash on the other side is really good..."

"I tried it out, and Rainbow Six Siege on this AS platform is pretty good. It's just that Kirito is surprisingly bad."

Mo Yulan removed the machine, sat up from the sofa, and looked around. He only recognized Yuuna standing next to him and Kirito lying next to him. As for the other two, he could only vaguely guess from their appearances that the black-haired woman was Imagawa Yumiko, also known as Hibana. As for the other man, he knew nothing about him.

"The question is, what does this have to do with my mission? And I know Ms. Imagawa, but who are you?"

"I'm Seijiro Kikuoka. I used to work at the SAO Incident Response Headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, and now I work in the Virtual Space Management Section of the Communications Network." The man smiled somewhat awkwardly, glanced at Imagawa, and then explained, "The current situation is this: Ubisoft released two games on the AS platform. One of them is the one you played, Rainbow Six Siege; and the other is..."

Kikuoka's introduction ended there, but Mo Yulan, impatient, interrupted him.

"The Realm of the Three Kingdoms, right? I guess your request is also related to The Realm of the Three Kingdoms. Although I don't know why you started by having Kirito keep it from me, now you've even tricked me into coming here, along with Yuna."

Mo Yulan found this inexplicable cooperative relationship quite strange. He had originally planned to quickly ask Hibana, the Rainbow Squad operator who remained in Tokyo, also known as Imagawa Yumiko, if she had any news about Kirito. However, when he arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, he discovered that Kirito was already waiting there.

"That's right, it's Tom Clancy's The Division III: Gun Gale Online. Recently, we heard a rumor that a man who calls himself 'Death Gun' in the game shot a professional player, and the professional player died in his home."

Kikuoka shrugged somewhat awkwardly, then continued recounting what had happened. After hearing his description, Mo Yulan sat there pondering for a moment, then looked up and asked, "You killed them off along the internet cable?"

"That looks about it. The deceased had no injuries, it was just like..."

“It’s like being killed through an internet connection. Listen up, kid, we have reason to suspect this is a premeditated act of terrorism. Judging from the man’s behavior in the video, he’s deliberately trying to incite public panic.” Yumiko Imagawa picked up where Kikuoka left off, her tone quite serious. “So now we need you to enter The Division 3 and help us uncover the truth behind this incident and stop the spread of this terrorism. That’s your mission.”

218. In order to save Washington, Sorin decides to debut as an idol.

The three people who came out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications were already in the car, but their positions were a little awkward. Yuna, who usually occupied the passenger seat, was now lying in the back seat, Mo Yulan was still driving, and Kirito was sitting in Yuna's original seat.

"I'm speechless. Kirito, you're really bad at the game."

He relentlessly criticized Kirito's various clumsy maneuvers, his tone filled with resentment, "I tolerated you shocking my Wi-Fi with the electrical box, I tolerated you backstabbing me when we were in a straight line, but you just blew up the patch on the door without saying a word..."

"The only FPS games I play are CS:GO, okay? To be honest, where have I ever played such a high-end demolition game?" Kirito still looked quite annoyed when Mo Yulan said that. "But you were in such a high-end department before."

"What's with the high-end stuff? You seem to know everything again." Mo Yulan said irritably, "You skipped my class and then had Asuna answer your questions, huh? You're pretty brave, kid."

"I'm super brave, okay?" Kirito had just replied when he felt Mo Yulan's right hand, which he had been using to shift gears, suddenly pat his left leg, startling him so much that he jumped up on his right leg. "Mo... Mo-ge, what are you doing?"

"I'll take you to the convenience store later, then we'll go to my place tonight. After you've had your fun, we can... just go to sleep, no problem." Mo Yulan was spouting off-color lines one moment, but the next her tone turned serious. "Let's put it this way, what method do you think that Dead Gun would use to achieve [killing someone in the game, causing their death in real life]?"

"Well... in short, we should be able to rule out the possibility of killing someone using AS's own mechanisms first." Kirito pondered for a while, then looked up and tentatively replied, "What if we go even further? What if we rule out all possibilities of remote killing? In that case... I understand."

"As expected, he's still the Kirito I know. It's a good thing that he hasn't become stupid after all this time in real life." Mo Yulan sighed, her tone slightly relieved. "So, if I let you enter full stealth mode anywhere, and he manages to get close to you, you'd be completely finished."

“Okay, but the problem is… you and Yuna have been living together for so long, wouldn’t it be…” Kirito shrank back, cautiously probing Mo Yulan’s reaction.

"What are you thinking? Do you think I'd let you come and bother us? Or would I let you sleep in the same room as Ivy?" Mo Yulan patted Kirito's left thigh with her right hand again, then interrupted Kirito's daydreaming in a rather ruthless tone, "Kid, the sofa is your true home!"

"I knew it……"

Yuna calmly watched the interaction between the two from the back seat, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Mo Yulan appeared to have forgotten about her. However, the expression on her face became increasingly subtle.

——————Half an hour later——————

"I'm so sad, Lan isn't talking to me anymore..."

You Na sat on the bed, deliberately putting on a helpless look like she had been abandoned by Mo Yu Lan, and her voice became lonely.

"Yuna, let me explain... Wait, something feels off." Mo Yulan's first reaction was still to appease his wife, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly felt something was amiss. "No, Yuna, Kazuto and I are just innocent brothers. What are you thinking..."

"I'm afraid you'll be kidnapped by your best friend, Lan." You Na's face once again showed a smile that made Mo Yu Lan feel a little scared. Just when he thought he was about to embarrass himself again, she stopped what she was doing and gently put an AS on Mo Yu Lan's head. Then she lowered her head and kissed the thin lips of the beauty beneath her. "Good luck. I still have to protect you."

"Go to bed on time. With Ivy at home on standby, nothing will happen. Don't stay up late tonight." Mo Yulan's voice remained gentle. "I'm going online now. Kirito's been waiting for me for ages... Lin.k Start!"

After saying goodbye to Yuna, he gave the activation command and entered stealth mode. Various colorful cylinders of different sizes flashed before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, he was already in the upl.ay shopping mall plaza.

"Damn, what a loss. Why didn't I think of asking them for The Division 3 Gold Edition?" Sorin suddenly thought of this question and muttered with some pain, even though he now had enough money to buy more than ten thousand The Division 3s. "Kirito probably already installed it... I knew it."

He glanced at his friends list; the icon for Kirito was still lit up, with the label "[Currently Playing: Tom Clancy's The Division III: Gun Gale Online]". Meanwhile, Solin opened the upl.ay store, readily purchased the Gold Edition of The Division III, and then entered the game.

The background story of The Division 3 gave him a feeling of being pulled out of nowhere. After the first batch of rogue agents became the main villains, there was actually an even deeper villainous organization lurking in the shadows. At this point, Washington and the government had completely collapsed, and the remaining order was maintained entirely by the second batch and subsequent agents. At the same time, they also had to barely retake Washington without any command and fighting alone.

"Can this story be salvaged? If Washington is eventually recaptured, I can only say it was with the help of the Force Warriors. Well then, hello everyone, it's still the elegant Mr. Sorin bringing you The Division 3 gameplay."

He opened the live stream, and after the cutscene, picked up a lightweight M4 provided for beginners and waved it around. Then, he followed the system's instructions to complete the beginner's missions. Because it was a completely stealth-based game, the tutorial didn't start with movement; it went straight to shooting training, tactical maneuvers, and movement between cover. The tactical maneuvers were similar to sword skills in SAO; once you had a starting stance, the rest would follow. As for movement between cover, that was a bit more complicated.

In this game, moving between cover requires you to first lock onto a piece of cover within your line of sight. Then, the system will provide you with a route. As long as you follow this route while crouching, it will be considered moving between cover. However, if you deviate from the route provided by the system, the movement between cover will be canceled.

"But you're overthinking it. Real men are all about surprise attacks and head-on confrontations. Who the hell runs to cover? That's something only Lone Star Shooters use!" Solin said with disdain when he mentioned moving between cover. He then followed the system's guidance to a car window and suddenly had a bad feeling.

This was originally a feature for character customization, but on this device, his face seemed to be fixed—it looked exactly like him in real life. Not only that, his short hair from the game had been transformed into smooth, waist-length hair, which swayed adorably as he moved his head.

[Shoot it!]

【awsl】

Suolin stared at the car window, stunned for a long time before he reacted, clenched his fist, and slammed it hard against the window.

"I'll fuck your mother's ass! What is this?"

The new book has been released! It's titled "The Planeswalker Doesn't Die from Card Explosions," so feel free to check it out. With suggestions from experienced readers, I believe this book will be understandable even for those unfamiliar with Magic: The Gathering.

The reason I only updated twice recently was because of the frequent room checks; I complained about this issue a lot in the group chat this afternoon. I've decided to do a big update tomorrow, that's all.

219. The Unhappy Daily Life of a Beautiful Girl Streamer

One hundred and fifty-six days have passed since my high school days began…

Asada Shino murmured to herself, re-wrapping the white scarf around her neck, burying half her face inside it, before continuing on her way. Every day after school, she would ritually count how much high school life she had spent and how much time she had left until graduation; she had been doing this for a long time.

She simply couldn't understand the point of coming to this prison-like place every day, listening to the teachers' listless lectures, and doing gymnastics or other pointless things with a bunch of guys who seemed to have been mentally challenged since childhood.

"The viewers in the live stream are really interesting."

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace, deciding to get home early to cook dinner and start her livestream. This job, which was gradually replacing school as her main occupation, still held a lot of interest for her, partly because the livestream brought her a considerable income; after all, female livestreamers as skilled and beautiful as her were rare. Of course, another reason was that she didn't want to talk to what she considered to be the kind of idiots in real life.

There weren't many pedestrians on the shopping street in the afternoon. She glanced at the bookstore's display and found that her favorite author had released a new book. Although it was a hardcover, she bought it without hesitation. Next, she bought some stationery at a stationery store, checked how much money was left in her PayPal account, and then headed towards the convenience store in the center of the shopping street, pondering what to eat for dinner.

Although she was probably among the wealthiest of her peers, her dinner was still a simple meal of one dish and one soup, enough to meet her nutritional needs. Just as she decided on her dinner and was about to enter the convenience store next door, a voice calling for Shino suddenly came from the alley between two buildings.

"Asada——"

Shino reflexively shrank back before slowly turning her head to the side. Three female students, dressed in the same uniform as Shino but with slightly different skirt lengths, stood in the alley. One was squatting on the ground, looking at her phone, while the other two leaned against the supermarket wall, laughing and watching Shino.

Sinon didn't bother with them, simply standing there silently. This reaction angered one of the girls standing there, who shrugged and grabbed Sinon's right wrist forcefully.

"Come here!"

"What is it...?" Shino tilted her head. She naturally knew what these people were here for, but fortunately, she had already prepared a response.

"Stop talking nonsense, just come here." She dragged Shino deep into the alley. At this moment, the female student squatting on the ground looked up at her. Her name was Endo, and she was the leader of the trio. Her black eyeliner, upturned eyes, and sharp chin gave her the impression of a predatory insect.

"Sorry, Asada, we went to karaoke and ended up spending all our train fare. We'll pay you back tomorrow, so please lend us this much for now."

She then held up one finger. This wasn't a hundred, nor was it the previous amount; it represented ten thousand yen. School had only been over for less than twenty minutes; even singing wouldn't cost much. Besides, all three of them should have monthly train passes. The most outrageous thing was, what kind of train could cost three people a total of ten thousand yen?

Shino pondered the fundamental contradictions in the situation, though it was merely a subconscious thought. She knew perfectly well that these people were only there to extort money from her.

She shook her head and took out her wallet, which had turned into a cardholder, to show them its empty interior.

"I didn't bring any money or bank cards, and PayPal doesn't want to tell you."

She mustered all her courage to fight back against these people. During her live stream yesterday, she asked her viewers what to do in such a situation. After eliminating those unreliable suggestions, she decided to leave all her cash and bank cards at home and only bring her mobile phone with her, in an attempt to fight back against them.

But the girl in the lead seemed to know very well how to suppress Shino's resistance. She simply made a gun shape with her hand and raised it towards Shino.

“pong.”

A faint, sharp sound escaped Shino's throat. She felt a deep, uncontrollable fear, and her whole body trembled.

"Hey Asada... my brother has several model guns. I'll bring them to school next time to show you. You seem to really like handguns... am I right?"
