Chapter 534: Chapter 514: âThe Lethality of an Exâ
At 8 oâclock on Sunday morning, Han Qing, the âKing of the Track,â woke up on time, turned off his alarm, and got out of bed efficiently.
Today was another busy day.
Originally, during the seasonâs winter break, he should have been resting properly, winding down, and maintaining some fitness training.
But now, heâs inexplicably opened a side gigâbeing a game streamer on the Cloud Dream Live Broadcast Platform.
This was quite absurd.
As a top-level domestic racer in Daxia, Han Qingâs annual salary was only 500,000. It seemed not too bad, but considering that he was already ranked top 3 among domestic racers, it was somewhat low.
In Daxia, extreme sports that put your life on the line donât seem to have particularly large-scale events. Consequently, itâs difficult to attract enough commercial sponsorship, so everyone doesnât make a lot of money.
But during the winter break, he coincidentally bought a Cloud Dreamâs Mirage console, participated in a âNight City Indiscriminate Death Race,â and after âmerelyâ getting third place, his life took an unexpected turnâ
All of a sudden, he was in the spotlight.
Even when he won the championship in the domestic top-level competition the previous year, he never received such attention!
The next morning, the well-known sports drink brand âFierce Horseâ had come to sponsor him.
Thatâs right, they didnât look for the club to sponsor his real-life events.
Instead, they went to him personally, wanting to sponsor his bizarre events in the virtual game!
Although he can understand that Cloud Dreamâs âIndiscriminate Death Raceâ does indeed have a much higher degree of attention than real-life events⊠it still felt somewhat sadâŠ
Of course, sadness aside, money still needs to be made.
He immediately consulted his professional agent, who carefully studied the contract and then discovered⊠itâs possible!
Han Qingâs contract with the club was very detailed in terms of restrictions. However⊠they were all real-life restrictions!
When he signed the contract, Lincoln was only a freshman, and the virtual world was still an imaginary thing, without even a shadow of existence.
The club has no reason to prohibit its players from playing games!
So Han Qing signed, not only for personal sponsorship but also for a contract with the Cloud Dream Live Broadcast Platform as a streamer.
By the way, after deciding to become a streamer, he even specifically called the two players ranked higher than him to ask if they played Cloud Dream games.
Only after learning that both of them didnât play, did he feel at ease and continued using the game ID âKing of the Track.â
Otherwise, he would feel a bit guiltyâŠ
As for the personal sponsorshipâŠ
Just the sponsorship fees from âFierce Horse Sports Drinkâ alone had already exceeded his annual salary as a professional racer.
It was quite⊠laughable and cryable.
After that, Han Qingâs emphasis on gaming and streaming immediately escalated, no longer playing games based solely on his preferences.
For casual games like âMy World,â he probably wouldnât even bother in the past, but now he would buy and play them to join in the excitement.
Of course, his primary focus was still on the competitions in Night City.
And today was the fourth âIndiscriminate Death Racingâ competition. Heâmust win the championship!
Of course, before that, there were still many things to do.
The morning workout was still essential, or else there would be big trouble if his physical fitness was not up to par after the winter break.
After finishing his workout, he put on the headband, lay down comfortably on the soft sofa, and said the activation word for the headbandâ
âGive me the championship!â
*
Upon opening his eyes again, Han Qing was already in the pre-login spaceâinside his virtual world house.
He didnât log in to the game world in a hurry, but first opened up all the major group chats and looked through the messagesâ
In the [Vortex Forum Player Alliance] group, there were no announcements or any special topics.
From the content, it seemed that they were discussing sending half the people out to another public world and creating another Peaceful World.
The [Super Tomato Fan Alliance] group also had no announcements, and the topic of discussion was still the âHeaven Hall,â which seemed to be nearing completion.
âŠ
Han Qing looked through all the groups he joined with his small accounts, but couldnât find any of the information he wantedâ
Neither the news of a giant dinosaur appearing on Dinosaur Island nor any news of albino animals in the âHunterâ world.
So he shouted in his newly-established fan group and started streaming for today.
Then, he began building a house!
After joining the excitement on Friday, he returned to his personal world and started dedicating himself to building a super large roller coaster.
This would be a long-term major project, and he was still in the initial stage of gathering materials. After completing the initial accumulation, he would recruit a large number of players to help.
After all, the scenery is also an essential part of the roller coaster experience. You canât just put down the tracks and let people ride minecarts, right?
The construction of the landscape, the time and effort needed, is likely to far exceed the laying of the tracks.
But thatâs okay, Han Qing had already planned: barring any special circumstances, he plans to devote the remaining streaming time during the winter break to this project.
What counts as a special situation?
A small star suddenly appears and flits about in the lower left corner of his view, indicating that someone @mentioned him in a group.
Upon opening the chat, it was a group-wide announcementââDinosaur Island, a giant dinosaur has appeared! Those who want to complete the achievement, hurry!â
âWhat kind of dragon?â
âStill not sure, Iâm asking right now!â
Hank, who had just begun researching the âIron Farming Machine,â did not dare to delay and immediately quit the game to switch to Dinosaur Island. He hurried to the target location according to the map sent in the group chat.
Actually, he didnât really need a map for thisâ
As soon as he left the login point, he saw several cars rushing in one direction.
âA giant dinosaur? Can I catch a ride?â
âSure!â
Hank hurriedly ran forward, jumped onto a car that was just starting and had a low speed, and then quickly headed to the target location.
As soon as the first dinosaur pet was born, everyone in the virtual world had been eager to get one. Giant dinosaurs on Dinosaur Island would often be killed within a few minutes after they appeared, surviving no more than 10 minutes. Sometimes, they would even die within 5 minutes!
So, to gain achievements and progress, plenty of information sources and fast transportation were indispensable.
By comparison, weapons and combat abilities were not as important anymore.
Thus, within a few days, helping each other out, group notifications, and carpooling all became new customs on Dinosaur Island.
It was only during this time that Hank had the chance to ask, âDude, have we figured out which kind of dinosaur it is?â
Another person in the car looked excited, âA Tyrannosaurus Rex! I havenât fought it yet, haha!â
Hank got the answer but suddenly lost his smileâ he had already fought this oneâŠ
However, it wouldnât be appropriate to give up now: the audience in the live broadcast room had been excited by the anticipation, and suddenly giving up would just disappoint them, right?
âAlright, letâs fight it one more time.â
You could consider it part of the live broadcast program, after all.
Since they had already arrivedâŠ
In no time, a 15-meter-long, 5-meter-tall, and over 13-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex came into view. freewÄbnoveâ.com
Compared to those 30-meter-long super-size creatures, this Tyrannosaurus Rex was not too exaggerated in size. However, its attack was incredibly strong and its agility and lethality were astounding.
Even though it was surrounded and facing a rain-like barrage of attacks, it continued to charge from left to right, biting and killing one person after another.
Hank calmly got out of the car and said to the audience in the live broadcast room, âWatch me do something big for you! Just a heads up: remember to turn down the volume.â
He took the noise-cancelling earmuffs out of his backpack and put them on, holding the âDinosaur Treasureâ and quickly approaching the dinosaur.
At this moment, the audience did not take him seriously:
âWhat, just loud yelling? Who is he trying to impress?â
âDoesnât everyone have a âDinosaur Treasureâ these days? I thought it was some secret weapon!â
âYelling loudly with other people is useful against giant dinosaurs but just one person? I doubt itâll work.â
âŠ
Amid these skeptical voices, Hank dashed to a closer position, opened his panel, and materialized an achievement itemâ
The âBathing Girl Lamp.â
âHoly crap!â The audience was stunned.
However, adjusting the volume now was already too late!
Amidst the loud and chaotic hunting ground, nothing was lacking more than high-decibel noise. The moment the lamp was brought out, it was triggered.
The piercing scream and the burst of light appeared at the same time!
Wearing earmuffs and with his eyes tightly shut, Hank aimed at the Tyrannosaurus Rexâs position from memory and fired the Shock Bomb directly!
But neither he nor the audience in the live streaming room could see the actual effects of the Shock Bomb, as everything in front of them was a white blur.
After he fired, Hank grabbed the screaming lamp and hurled it away with all his strength.
Then he opened his eyes and quickly used the panel function to retrieve the lamp.
Hankâs movements were so quick that when the blinding light dissipated, people only had time to see the giant Tyrannosaurus Rex slowly toppling over.
Its weight of over 13 tons heavily crashed onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust as tall as a person. The players nearby felt the ground trembling incessantly.
Everyone stared in amazement at the scene.
âWhat the hell! Is the âDinosaur Treasureâ this powerful?!â
âItâs not the Dinosaur Treasure thatâs powerful, itâs clearly the Bathing Girl Lamp!â
âIs this the lethal power of a betrayed ex-partner? I love it!â
âNo wonder heâs a guy who blew up his bathroom with his girlfriend and watched her butt!â
âŠ
Players standing further away had a clearer view of what happenedâ
At the moment the lamp let out a powerful scream, the startled Tyrannosaurus Rex turned its head and looked straight down at Hankâs position.
And then the âShock Bomb Ultra Editionâ fired by Hank hit the dinosaurâs vulnerable little brain without deviating an inch, resulting in the incredible scene in front of everyone.
Under normal circumstances, the heads of large dinosaurs were usually much higher than the playersâ viewpoint, and their weapons could only strike the sides. Due to their âinsufficient firepower,â it was difficult to create such an effect.
So, when they suddenly faced this absurd situation where âone bullet could topple a dinosaur,â everyone was a little baffled.
Once they were able to think clearly, their first thought was: Should they also get a âBathing Girl Lampâ?
This was just too powerful!!
Even players who had never bought an âAssassinâs Allianceâ game before were tempted!
