Although Ye Lang a bit big is a small anchor, “small” is also relative.
With the help of his good friend Yi to attract traffic, coupled with his own hard work in live streaming, there are usually thousands of people watching.
Considering the current boost in popularity, there are two to three times the usual number of people. Gathering a group of experts should be easy.
Within a few minutes, he had assembled a team of ten.
Seeing the nine new experts on his side, Ye Lang a bit big felt that the advantage was on his side.
So, he waved his hand and took the lead in the charge!
The fierce battle began once again!
And then
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
“Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat—tat-tat-tat-tat-tat—”
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
“BOOM!”
After a moment of chaos, ten streaks of light converged at the respawn point, and Ye Lang a bit big and his nine teammates respawned.
Ye Lang a bit big looked around, and several teammates smiled awkwardly.
It belatedly occurred to Ye Lang a bit big that what he had gathered was a group of viewers who “claimed to be experts.”
As for whether these “claims” were true or false, how embellished, or even how much exaggeration there was, all that was another matter entirely…
“Brothers!” Ye Lang a bit big lamented with deep sorrow, “Do you really want to see me in women’s clothing?! Can’t you give me a break?!”
Even though the anchor spoke pitifully, the viewers in the live broadcast room remained unmoved, continuing to send comments:
“Yes, yes! I’ve been waiting all month for this!”
“Deadpan water! Deadpan water! Gentlemen, I will always love deadpan water!”
“Product link [Silicone Padded Men’s Crossdressing Camel Toe Panties]”
“What are these key search terms for?!”
“I’m tempted, I want to buy!”
…
However, some of the viewers in front of Ye Lang a bit big blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed. They apologized and left his world.
Before leaving, they added, “I’m also looking forward to your crossdressing, good luck!”
Once one person took the lead, six more left in quick succession.
Before leaving, each person left the anchor with heartfelt blessings:
“Good luck! You can do it!”
“Deadpan water must become popular!”
“I’ll send you a rocket once you’re crossdressed!”
“Life is short, why not try?”
With a constipated expression, Ye Lang a bit big sent off this batch of viewers and began to look for more people.
This time, he learned from his previous mistake and added a level requirement for combat skills when forming the team: [Assassin Bloodline Lv.8], [Shooting Expertise Lv.10], [Arc Shooting Lv.8].
With these restrictions in place, although it’s uncertain whether their combat skills can be fully utilized, at least they won’t drag the team down.
Another 10 minutes passed, and after assembling the team, Ye Lang felt everything was ready.
“Third time’s a charm, I’m sure it’ll work this time!”
He discussed tactics with his skilled teammates and settled on the strategy: “breakthrough from the front.”
This time, they did a lot better. Despite facing a dense onslaught of firepower, rapid support, and unfamiliar terrain and hidden fire points, they still inevitably suffered several rounds of annihilation.
However, after resurrecting collectively several times and figuring out the pattern and traps, the experts began to notice a significant drop in difficulty.
And so, it was time for the experts to showcase their skills.
In less than an hour, they made it to the final target – Arms Boss “Black Gun’s” house.
They lined up in a long snake formation along the last hallway, moving cautiously forward while remaining vigilant.
Upon turning a corner, the leading expert noticed a gun peeking out at the end of the hallway!
Acting purely on muscle reflex, he immediately activated [Assassin Bloodline] and used a ricochet shot, sending the bullet curving around to hit!
Strike first!
However, to his surprise, the person opposite was unharmed. The foe drew his gun, fired back, and tossed out three smoke grenades at the same time.
The overwhelmingly precise shots forced his full attention to intercept the bullets while shouting, “Be careful, there’s an expert!”
Yet, the snake formation severely hindered their visibility and maneuverability.
Strong smoke grenades exploded, rapidly filling the hallway with thick smoke.
The gunshots ceased for a moment.
fortunately, this time, the teammates were experts; even without visibility, they didn’t panic or shoot randomly.
As the smoke stung his eyes, Ye Lang a bit big could hear angry cursing from his teammates behind him.
Amid the chaotic cursing, he faintly heard footsteps growing nearer––
Footsteps!
The next moment, gunfire erupted once more!
“Bang bang bang bang,” the dense gunfire erupted like frying beans.
Bullets flew chaotically in the thick smoke, with ricochets filling the narrow hallway and teammates occasionally screaming when they got hit. The scene was pure chaos!
“I see him!”
“Bang bang bang…”
“I got shot!”
“Damn him!”
“Bang bang bang…”
“You shot me!”
In the crowd, Ye Lang struggled to open his stinging eyes, which were blurred by tears, and saw a neatly-dressed black figure in the thick smoke.
That figure moved agilely, with crisp and efficient shooting, dodging, shooting, dodging, reloading and shooting again, never stopping, as if both swift and precise.
Most horrifying of all: in the narrow hallway, facing a rain of bullets, this man remained unscathed!
Even his suit seemed undamaged!
He had no idea that ridiculous things like “bulletproof suits” even existed in this world.
Ye Lang was enraged and embarrassed, pulling out his gun and shooting at the black shadow.
However, the black shadow dodged not only his bullets but also closed the distance on him and knocked the gun from his hand.
The next moment, a cold face appeared before him from the heavy smoke.
It was an impressive man, his black hair streaked with strands of white, a neatly trimmed beard framing his face, seemingly infused with the scent of gunpowder from gunfire.
A silenced Glock pistol was raised, the black muzzle pointing directly between Ye Lang’s eyebrows.
After a brief pause, without any words, the trigger was pulled—
“Bang!”
He walked away, as if just killing a no-name pawn.
At the moment of death, Ye Lang had an epiphany—
‘This is the strongest killer from Night City.’
‘This is—John Wick!’
After being resurrected again, the ten-man squad fell into a brief silence.
Ye Lang started to briefly reminisce about that moment, everything came too quickly, and it ended too fast, leaving him only now with the time to review what had happened.
From the teammates opening fire in reaction to the smoke grenade explosion, it was all a matter of moments.
Just two seconds later, he heard footsteps, then the dense gunfire and confused shouting around him.
Less than 10 seconds later, the gunfire ceased.
He counterattacked, but to be effortlessly dodged, approached, and disarmed.
Two seconds of pause allowed him to see the man’s face clearly.
Then the gun rang, he resurrected.
Everything was over.
A brief ten-seconds encounter, along with the fleeting two seconds in the smoke, not only left an indelible impression on Ye Lang, but also kept the 300,000-plus viewers in the live broadcast room from calming down.
After a moment of shock, comments began flooding in at such a rate that Ye Lang couldn’t keep up:
“So strong!! Invincible!!”
“Damn handsome! Pure manliness!”
“A man among men! A muscular man among muscular men!”
“What a gold content of the strongest in Night City!”
“Look at those breezy long hair! Look at those melancholic eyes! Look at that sexy beard! This man has a story!”
“I’ll cut straight to calling him hubby!”
…
Ye Lang was speechless watching all this.
What was even more speechless was that after only a short while of reviving, the quest was automatically completed…
Obviously, in such a short time, Arms Boss “Black Gun” had been taken down by “John Wick.”
“So, was this epic quest just to let us meet this muscular man?” Ye Lang felt absurd.
“For this slight two-second appearance, an entire long story arc and a complicated battle instance were created?”
“Fine, you guys succeeded!” He put away his weapon and sighed, “I’ll remember him for good! Can’t even forget if I want to!”
He thanked the helpful viewers, sent away the still-dazed viewers who hadn’t fully understood the situation, and went back to the Continental Hotel to settle the quest.
As for the live-streamer community, they finally got over the “sudden muscular man” scene and began to madly remind the anchor, “Don’t forget the bet! Cross-dressing! Swimsuit!”
Having seen John Wick, Ye Lang started to feel confident.
Driving along, he defiantly swore to the viewers:
“I’ll take the bet! I won’t forget! Even raise the stakes! Swimsuit it is! Didn’t you guys think about it? Such a powerful man, the strongest killer in the dark world, reaching the combat power ceiling, one of the most important characters, can’t have a small role, right?”
“Think about it, who are the strong ones like this in Assassins’ Alliance? Firefox and Old Daddy Cross!”
“So, I have at least a one-in-two winning rate! Plus, with the previous build-up, Yun Meng even specially designed this spoonful of vinegar, even going so far as to hold a dumpling feast. Could I still lose?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
