From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 56: FPS Game

“Today, let’s play some games for a while. What games do you usually play?” Qin Chuan suddenly asked.

Jian Yiling raised her head and looked at Qin Chuan before she shook her head.

She didn’t play games.

“Have you never played those dress-up or strategy games before?”

Qin Chuan worked in the gaming/internet industry. As a result, he knew quite a bit about market trends. He knew the type of games that the younger female audience enjoyed.

Again, Jian Yiling shook her head.

Jian Yiling appeared to look as though she didn’t have any interest in the things that he was saying.

Qin Chuan opened his laptop. He let Jian Yiling pick a game that she wanted to play.

There were all kinds of games on Qin Chuan’s laptop. However, he didn’t download the games to play them but rather, they were to help him understand the market better.

“Why play games?” Jian Yiling asked Qin Chuan.

“Your grandma wants you to have more entertainment. She doesn’t want you to overexert yourself on studying.” Qin Chuan replied. He didn’t plan to hide the truth from her.

Jian Yiling paused for a moment before she turned around to look at Qin Chuan’s desktop.

“This one.” Jian Yiling said as she pointed to ‘Zerg Invasion.’

This was an FPS game that had just become popular recently.

Jian Yiling knew about this game because it was made by Jian Yuncheng’s overseas company.

The game had become popular as soon as it came out.

It was partially the reason why Jian Yuncheng was so tired recently.

The background of the game was about an interstellar war. In the beginning, players would embark off an interstellar spaceship. They would enter an alien planet with the other players. That alien planet would be infested by the zerg.

By killing the ferocious zerg, the players could gain corresponding points and rewards.

By the time the round ends, the player with the highest number of points wins.

Qin Chuan was quite surprised that Jian Yiling picked this game. Although this game was quite fun and popular, it was relatively violent. It wasn’t suitable for someone timid like Jian Yiling.

“This game is quite violent and bloody. The visuals were made to make it realistic. It might make you uncomfortable.”

Qin Chuan explained. He tried to persuade Jian Yiling to give up on playing this game. He didn’t want her to be frightened.

“No, this one.” Jian Yiling replied.

Qin Chuan couldn’t win an argument against Jian Yiling. He logged into the game with his account.

Qin Chuan’s account was considered to be relatively high. His past records were quite good as well.

After they found a game, the screen switched into a first-person perspective. From this perspective, you could see the interstellar spacecraft cabin.

At this time, Jian Yiling could pick a gun she wanted to use.

Qin Chuan was afraid that Jian Yiling didn’t know what to do. He decided to introduce her to the funs. “This one is UMP9 and the other one here is UZI. They are both submachine guns. They fire fast and they’re good for close combat. 98k is a sniper rifle. They fire slowly however they’re good for long-range shots. A single shot does a lot of damage…”

Qin Chuan was in the middle of explaining when Jian Yiling had already picked up an M4 and rushed out.

After leaving the interstellar spaceship, the player wouldn’t encounter the Zerg immediately. The system will give the player a certain amount of time to pick a suitable location to hide.

Usually, new players would choose to go with the other players.

If you went alone, the game would easily turn into a horror game. A huge Zerg may pop out behind you suddenly.

Qin Chuan was about to guide Jian Yiling to follow the other players. However, Jian Yiling ran off by herself.

Qin Chuan couldn’t help but start to worry.

She got scared when he approached her. What would her reaction be if she sees the terrifying aliens in the game?

After a minute, Jian Yiling picked up her M4 and fired at the Zerg. It was a headshot.

After five minutes, Jian Yiling’s kill count went up to 10.

After fifteen minutes, there were only three people that were still alive. Jian Yiling was one of them. She also held the most points.

At eighteen minutes, the game ended. Jian Yiling had gotten first place.
