PUBG Online Romance of the Century

Chapter 19 - Where are we jumping, little anchor?

Edited by Divetus and Noks

When Yi Ran entered the livestream, the anchor was playing PUBG. As he watched, the circumstances looked like someone had raided the building the anchor was in.

And the anchor… was the only one left alive on his team.

“Xiao Yan, there’s still another person! It’s the only person remaining!” Lu Xiuhe’s voice resounded through the stream.

“I saw them.”

“That person is still trying to attack—they tossed a grenade, and another grenade!! You should hide for a bit, hide and then face him after!”

Yu Yan suddenly put away his gun, turned around, and ran further into the house.

[??? Why’s he running away?]

[You’ve already killed two of the three people who raided the building, being scared like this makes no sense ah.]

“Not scared.” They watched as he opened the settings and directly blocked his teammates’ voice channel. “Lu Xiuhe was infected by some strangers a few days ago. He’s being so noisy that I can’t hear any footsteps.”

As soon as he finished saying that, the sound of hasty footsteps was heard. It didn’t sound too far away, but it also didn’t sound like it came from inside a room.

Yu Yan raised his eyebrows. “He’s not coming up?”

[The moral of the story—Don’t try to raid a building unless you know how to throw grenades. That team has tossed at least five frag grenades by now ba? And didn’t manage to hit anything with a single one, what shitty skills.]

[It was mainly due to the fact that during their first attempt to raid the building, the anchor killed one of them. This made the opponents so scared that they didn’t dare to try rushing in directly.]

[They’ve already let two of their teammates fall to your hands, yet they’re still attacking this barren land lololol.]

After blocking the team voice channel, his ears finally had some peace and quiet. Yu Yan quickly glanced at the barrage, but then, from the corner of his eye, saw that the enemy was preparing to escape. He didn’t hesitate to jump out of the window to get downstairs.

“Not attacking? I won’t allow it.”

Just as he finished speaking, his game avatar dropped from the sky. His action of pointing the gun’s muzzle downwards was very skilled, and his shots, fired with almost no hesitation, were crisp. Despite being in a mid-air jump, his gun’s aim was very stable.

The opponent hadn’t expected that he’d dare to jump down like this, and only managed to react after eating a few bullets. However, as soon as the opponent was about to take out his gun, he was knocked down.

At the same time, Yu Yan’s screen immediately had a line of white words appear.

[You eliminated HUMIYADA with an AKM]

[7 kills.]

Yi Ran cradled his laptop as he sat on the sofa. He was dumbfounded with astonishment after seeing the wave of attacks performed by the anchor.

This guy was like a goddamn immortal…

He reflexively clicked to follow him.

[Hahahahaha I won’t allow it!!]

[The anchor is so sexy omg]

[When will the anchor hold a guessing game? When you do, I’ll come here to just stabilize my finances.]

A guessing game was one of the activities that could be played in a stream. Each viewer could get starlight currency by either checking-in every day, recharging their account with money, or some other special methods. The starlight coins could then be used to participate in the guessing game, which offered a chance of obtaining more starlight currency from winning it.

The guessing game questions were decided by the anchor. The subjects of PUBG specifically were usually things like “can we eat chicken”, “can we kill five people”, and so on.

Yu Yan responded, “Guessing game… Let me check. I can only run that at anchor level 12.”

[Level 12? Then, if Boss 1 visits a few more times again, it’ll be enough.]

[Speaking of that, how come we haven’t seen Boss these past few days ah? Has he moved on to a new sweetheart?]

[No, no, I went to stalk Boss’ profile. The only one on Boss’ gifted stars’ list is this anchor! (Seems like I’ve exposed something)]

You could actually stalk other people’s profiles?

Yu Yan couldn’t help but look at the barrage a few more times.

It was true that 1 hadn’t come online for several days; it was even to the extent that several streamer viewers would mention it. As a result, Yu Yan would always subconsciously comb through his memories and wonder, was he inadequate in any way on the day that they had played squad matches?

Didn’t seem so ah… Before 1 had left, he had even sent him a meteor shower.

“Hello, hello hello? Can you hear me? Hellooo??” Lu Xiuhe’s voice sounded out, “Wtf bro, you’re so mean ba, even muting your own teammates??”

Yu Yan snapped out of it and said, “Your voice covered the sound of the footsteps.”

[1: How much starlight currency to get a mod vest in this stream? Can I get a carry?]

As soon as this line appeared on top of the barrage, Yu Yan’s eyes were immediately hooked to it.

But he very soon withdrew his gaze.

This 1’s ID was colorful. Like Autumn, this 1 was an aristocratic level StarTV viewer, and not the 1 he knew.

“2000 to become a mod. When I take stream followers to play, you can jump the queue.”

He had just barely finished his words when a grandiose meteor shower effect appeared.

The new 1 tossed him a meteor shower in a very forthright manner.

[This… this couldn’t be Boss 1 wanting a higher tier vest?]

[No way, why would Boss 1 have to ask about how much currency is required for a mod’s vest?]

[I think that’s probably right, otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?]

[Regardless of whether it’s true or not, it’s always right to say that Boss is so generous!]

“Thank you for the meteor shower, 1.” Yu Yan looked at the barrage, paused, and asked, “Do you want to get in now? Last bus.”

“Ah? You’re still playing?” Lu Xiuhe interrupted him in his timely manner, “Aren’t you ending the stream in 20 minutes?”

Yu Yan said, “It’s okay to stream a little longer.”

[1: Play.]

[1: But I also have someone else here, is that okay?]

Yu Yan saw that the other party was talking in the public stream chat, and the original hopeful look in his eyes extinguished.

1 usually used private messages to chat with him.

“… That’s fine, I have two spaces here.”

Yi Chen came out of the bathroom wearing a sleeping robe, and saw Yi Ran wearing headphones. He went to his desk, picked up his cellphone and casually glanced at him. “Why are you just stupidly sitting there?”

Yi Ran was very frank. “I don’t dare to blindly enter your room.”

“Then you must’ve had such a good time entering my house.” Yi Chen stopped in front of him and asked, “You’re going to graduate soon, what’s your plan?”

Yi Ran laughed a bit mischievously and said, “Idle around for a bit, talk about it again after a few years.”

“Come to the company ba.” Yi Chen said, “I’ll arrange a position for you.”

Yi Ran’s smile stiffened for a few seconds but soon returned to normal. “No, Ge, I really can’t do it. That company… You just keep watching over it.”

“Besides, those old men are too much trouble, I definitely can’t endure them.”

If you had to say who was most qualified to compete against Yi Chen, then it would have to be Yi Ran. They were both Old man Yi’s blood-related grandsons, and while Yi Ran was only a few years younger than Yi Chen, he was also deeply loved by Old man Yi.

However, Yi Ran had been a troublemaker since childhood, and he had been particularly troublesome by specializing in things that didn’t make a big mess but were especially vexing to clean up. He was constantly getting beaten by his father. At first, those old men in the family wanted to train Yi Ran to compete against Yi Chen, but in the end, just the sight of Yi Ran would make them shake their heads.

After a while, Yi Chen looked away and said, “Whatever you want.”

Yi Ran laughed, and his tone returned to usual. “Ge, let’s play two PUBG matches?”

Yi Chen responded, “No, I have a meeting later.”

“Oh it’s like that ah. That’s fine ba… I even specially charged some currency to toss at this anchor to get a carry.”

Yi Chen didn’t say anything, and just turned around to enter the study.

The person on the sofa unplugged his earphones, and a voice rang out from the computer.

“Why don’t I show my face? … Because the camera is broken. It’s been broken for several months, and I couldn’t be bothered to buy another one. Yes, mainly because I don’t have money.”

Yi Chen’s footsteps paused.

“I’m a skills-based anchor, my face doesn’t matter… 1, if you’re good now, please directly send me your ID through private messaging.”

—

His private message box flashed. Yu Yan clicked it open and was stunned.

【2：NIRANGG-1】

It took him a long time to realize that the boss from just now had changed their user ID.

… But what was the point of changing 1 to 2??

After inviting the person to the game lobby, Yu Yan explained, “Sorry, but because you changed your ID, I didn’t recognize it at first.”

In the game, the boss’ microphone icon flashed. “I often change my name, it’s okay. In the future, just recognize me by my cool rainbow ID.”

Yu Yan: “…”

[Why do I feel like this tone doesn’t sound like the other 1 ah?]

[It’s definitely not him ah, even their voices aren’t the same.]

[The new boss isn’t melodramatic or artificial at all. Simple and rough, I like it.]

“Can you wait five minutes? He’s turning on the computer.”

Yu Yan replied, “Okay.”

He took advantage of the five minute wait-time to get up and make himself a cup of coffee. When he came back, there were already four people in the game lobby.

He didn’t look very closely and quickly started the match. “I’m sorry, I just went to make a cup of coffee.”

It wasn’t until he entered Manners Plaza that he noticed the barrage, which had gone a bit crazy, in the upper left corner.

[Boss, I’ve missed you so much!]

[It turns out that the two bosses are friends, no wonder their names are the same.]

[Ahhhhh!! I was so excited that I immediately put on earphones!!!]

?

Yu Yan hadn’t reacted to this yet when he was caught off guard by an auditory storm.

“That’s fine.”

The man’s voice was as usual, deep and mellow, with a hint of carelessness. “Where are we jumping, little anchor?”

—

Juurensha: Aw Yanyan missed Boss Yi! And wow, I don’t know why Boss Yi sounds so appealing with just 6 words.

Divi: Boss Yi is back! I’m wondering if he actually imitated Yi Ran’s name at first? Since Boss Yi doesn’t do much with StarTV… Yanyan is going be lovestruck again.

Noks: Both of them are gunning for the other’s voice… This kind of slow burn makes my toes curl!!!
