Chapter 311: Just Stripping Is Nothing
"Stop!" Facing the flurry of soft fists coming at him, along with those tightly wrapped cotton-clad bouncing peaks swaying before his eyes, Zhang Yang surrendered without hesitation. "Alright, CS… CS… I can play. But which platform do you girls use?"
Hearing that, everyone finally spared him.
"Haofang or Penguin, but for night matches we use the 175 platform." Liu Zixuan came over and explained while helping Zhang Yang log in. Her body pressed closely against him, not caring at all that as she bent forward, her firm breasts were squishing tightly against his elbow, visibly deforming. "They set up their own anti-cheat server."
"They set up the server?" Zhang Yang frowned.
"Mm!" Liu Zixuan nodded.
"Great. Heh… if we lose, we'll just say they cheated…" Zhang Yang said with a grin.
"That joke isn't funny at all."
"Ahem… only a few minutes left." Zhang Yang glanced at a nearby open machine running standalone CS. "I'll warm up a bit. Haven't played in too long…"
Seeing Zhang Yang sit down so confidently, the girls' extinguished hope had just rekindled—only to instantly drop to freezing point after hearing him speak. 'Big bro, stop scaring us. Our hearts are about to explode.'
Even Qiao Xier, who always pretended to be a spectator, couldn't stand it anymore. She walked to Zhang Yang's side. "Yangzi, how about… you step aside first. I'll fill in for Gao Qi."
"You can play?" Zhang Yang looked at her in surprise. 'Since when has she ever come up here?'
"Uh… I've played a tiny bit recently." Qiao Xier said shyly. "I can use a knife!"
"Pft! Sister Qiao, better let Sister Lulu play. At least she knows the difference between a flashbang and a grenade." Liu Zixuan advised cautiously.
Hearing that, Xu Danlu glanced at Zhang Yang and hesitated. "I might know a little… but only from watching. I've barely touched the controls…"
"Ahem… then… maybe we should just get a bucket of cold water and wake Sister Qi instead."
"Hey hey, I'm still here, you know?" Zhang Yang protested. 'Weren't they relying on me? Why is the almighty one suddenly ignored?'
"You… you just go practice your warm-up." All the beauties replied in unison, full of grief.
"Wha—what a joke. Watch me! I'll show you what the Sniper King is!" Zhang Yang slammed into a seat, ready to impress them. He grabbed the mouse and slid it gently—the familiar feeling jumped straight into his mind.
"Yes… that's it. That's the feeling. Damn, this aura… feels like the king is back!" Zhang Yang sighed emotionally. 'Is the ancient glory returning?'
Then he confidently pressed W and dashed forward. "Eh? No bullets. Uh… how do I buy bullets?"
"How do I switch weapons?"
Thud! Even the rookie Xu Danlu knew the basics. She struggled for a long time, then finally stood up and firmly agreed with Liu Zixuan. "I'll go wake Sister Qi!"
"The Pretty Elf Squad is asking if we're ready. If yes, they want us to enter the server." Xu Danying said anxiously.
"Tell them—give us ten minutes!" Xu Danlu glanced at Zhang Yang fiddling with the AWP. 'Big bro, at least open the scope!'
"Oh…" Xu Danying typed quickly, then turned back. "They're asking if we're cowards. And they said no need for best-of-five. Out of five rounds, as long as we win one, they'll count it as our victory. They even said if we're too scared, we can just strip directly."
"What? Winning one out of five counts as victory? They're looking down on us too much! Fight them!" Liu Zixuan exploded.
The girls exchanged looks, then with tragic determination picked their lineup.
Captain… Gao Qi. But Gao Qi was drunk and asleep. So Vice-Captain Liu Zixuan took charge. Members: Xu Danying, Xu Dantong, Xi Chen Jinglan, Xu Danlu, Qiao Xier… no, PASS. One more?
They all looked at Zhang Yang, who had finally managed to open the sniper scope.
'Fine. Zhang Yang it is. Dead horse, live horse—whatever.'
And so Zhang Yang, still untrained, was thrown onto the battlefield. Their five players: Zhang Yang, Liu Zixuan, Xi Chen Jinglan, Xu Danying, and on the other end, Xu Dantong.
The enemy lineup: Pretty Elf Chenchen, Pretty Elf Yingying, Pretty Elf Lili, Pretty Elf Tutu, Pretty Elf Sisi. Captain: Pretty Elf Lili. At first glance, very professional—and all obviously women.
Zhang Yang's team, on the other hand, was a mess of IDs—Queen of Thorns, Killer Rose, Wildflower Goddess… Eventually, under Zhang Yang's pressure, they shyly changed IDs.
Liu Zixuan → JPMN Witch; Xi Chen Jinglan → JPMN Flower Fairy; Xu Danying → JPMN Little Sprite; Xu Dantong → KPMN Angel; Zhang Yang → JPMN I Am God.
"Any more requests?" Lili, the enemy captain, asked in public chat. "Say it now while you can."
As their captain, Liu Zixuan looked at her team. "Any questions?"
"Yes!" Zhang Yang raised his hand. "Turn off friendly fire!"
Once, during a 5v5, Zhang Yang killed three teammates because friendly fire was on. The café banned him afterward.
Liu Zixuan relayed the request speechlessly.
The enemy agreed instantly. "No problem. Map? Which one do you want?"
Liu Zixuan repeated it, and Zhang Yang again raised his hand. "de_dust2! It's the only one I've played."
The enemy agreed again. de_dust2 was standard tournament map anyway.
But the girls' expressions darkened. Winning one round out of five was already humiliating. Now even the map and mode were being chosen for them. It felt like the enemy was constantly pitying them.
And the match hadn't even started yet.
Then Lili's icy voice came again. "Do you want CT (Counter-Terrorist) or T (Terrorist)? Choose whatever you want."
The girls froze. Some of them were rookies, but except Zhang Yang, all had played matches.
On de_dust2, CT had heavy defensive pressure guarding four positions, while T had many attack routes. With only five people, CT was extremely hard. Normally, sides were decided by coin toss. But the enemy arrogantly let them choose.
Completely disrespectful.
"T of course!" Zhang Yang answered loudly with zero shame.
Liu Zixuan glanced at the others. Their faces were grim, but she admitted—no matter what they chose, it wouldn't matter.
Still, choosing T might make losing slightly less embarrassing. One-win-out-of-five wasn't impossible.
"Alright. T it is. As agreed—five rounds. If you win even one, you win. Also, once the referee enters, only captains may speak in public chat. No random cats and dogs shouting."
That was clearly aimed at Zhang Yang, the only one who had excitedly used public chat earlier.
Zhang Yang's nose almost smoked. "Fine! Remind them—if they lose, don't forget to strip."
"You have male members?" Lili's voice suddenly rose. No wonder someone dared take such a stupid ID as I Am God.
"So what? Is there a rule banning men?"
"Hmph!" The enemy snorted and likely switched to QQ for offline discussion.
After a moment, they returned, full of displeasure. "Since your team name is JPMN, shouldn't you all be Extreme Moldy Girls?"
"Bullshit. Who said JPMN must mean Extreme Beauty Girls? Extreme Beauty Men counts too!" Zhang Yang shot back. "If you're scared of stripping, just say it instead of making excuses."
"Uh…" The enemy paused.
After a while, Lili spoke coldly. "Fine. No problem. If you lose, you still have to strip. But since you're a man, there's extra conditions."
"What conditions?"
"After taking off your pants, shave all the hair down there."
"The fuck!" Zhang Yang was speechless.
"What? Scared? If you're scared, kneel now and beg, strip naked on QQ video and sing [Conquest] for your aunties."
All the girls fell silent. The air grew heavy. The condition was too perverted—even if some of them did want to see it.
Xu Danlu softly shook her head at Zhang Yang. Clearly, she didn't want him humiliated like that.
"Fine!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang slapped the keyboard and roared. "Deal! And if you lose, you damn better keep your word and strip clean!"
"Hmph. Win against us first."
"Win first? How do I know you won't cheat?" Zhang Yang snapped.
"Hmph. My word is absolute," Lili replied.
"Absolute my ass. We've never even seen you! What if you lose and send five dinosaurs to do a strip show? I'd puke my dinner out!" Zhang Yang shot back.
"Bullshit! We aren't dinosaurs!" the enemy roared.
"Then prove it! Show me you're not dinosaurs!"
After a moment of hesitation, the enemy responded coldly: "Add us on QQ. We can video."
