Chapter 108 - A Battle That Didnt Even Last a Second (1/2)
Lev Mirov and the other’s hearts flared with hate when they saw Qin Fen’s excitement and provocation. They were able to see that this young man, who used an antique cell phone, had a mind that wasn’t old or inflexible at all.
Typically when Lev Mirov and the others encountered a challenger in paintball, they would deliberately act weak before their enemy, letting the enemy enjoy a feeling of superiority before the fight. Then Lev Mirov and the others would play fiercely and toy their opponents to death, letting them experience what it meant to be cast down from heaven to hell.
They lured others into challenging them by pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. They did this most often. They loved to watch the expression of impossible disbelief on their opponents’ faces. Only such sort of scenes could make them feel good.
If Qin Fen was using the same tactic of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, Lev Mirov was confident that he could see through his opponent’s act and use the situation to his advantage, like pushing the boat with the current.
But right now Qin Fen wasn’t using this tactic of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. Instead, he was adopting a powerful challenging stance in front of Song Jia and the other girls.
It was a lure through force.
The two tactics were completely different, and Lev Mirov was very clear that the latter tactic was more effective than the prior under the current circumstances. It was a tactic that sealed all routes of escape for the opponent.
Qin Fen fetched the paper bills he just won from his wallet. He smiled as he looked at Lev Mirov and the others. Since they wanted to use him as a stepping stone, then Qin Fen would make them experience what it meant to be a stepping stone.
Qin Fen was no fool. After learning psychology from Squad Leader Hao, he could naturally and easily sense hostility coming from Lev Mirov and the others. He didn’t need to be polite when responding to their hostility.
Qin Fen also didn’t feel that he should lower his head with Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota here, let alone before Lev Mirov and the others.
Lev Mirov and the others quickly exchanged a few glances. These people were all experienced, they all knew that it was impossible for them to back down.
At the same time, these people read the same message of luck from their companions’ eyes. Perhaps Qin Fen’s aerial combat skills aren’t as strong as his ground combat skills.
Having read this information from each other, these people’s uneasy hearts slowly settled. They had piloted real cosmic fighters before, let alone handle virtual aerial combat. Compared to Qin Fen, this fellow who appeared to be very destitute, they should have some superiority in aerial combat.
“Since everyone is this interested, just follow me!” Lin Liqiang walked to the very front of the group. “On the way here just now, I saw a super modern network city. Let’s go check it out.”
Enzo Rota extended a hand to pat Qin Fen on the shoulder. His eyes shone with the gaze of support.
Aerial combat? Xue Tian was a bit surprised. Was Qin Fen, who had the qualities of an Army special forces soldier, a first-class expert in aerial combat as well?
Song Jia was curious as well. It had been a while since they last met, and the mysterious air upon Qin Fen’s body hadn’t lessened a single bit. Instead, the mysterious air had grown.
“Sky Battle Net, Area Eleven of the Aerial Combat Network. My username is ‘The Surge of the Brewing Storm.'” Lev Mirov simply put on his helmet to enter the battle network after he finished speaking.
Qin Fen hesitated slightly for a moment. He turned his head to ask Lin Liqiang. “Let me borrow your account.”
“Mine?” Lin Liqiang was a bit stunned, but he didn’t ask why. He happily gave his username and password to Qin Fen.
The ID Thirty-Six Hours was a bit too famous nowadays. Qin Fen didn’t want to reveal that he was Thirty-Six Hours.
If he could make money by revealing his identity, naturally, he would reveal himself, but Qin Fen was quite self-aware. He had defeated quite a few people on the battle network, and he had sought money each time. He had really offended quite a few people. If his identity was exposed, heaven knows just how many people would come knocking on his doorstep for a real player kill.
One could use the system of the battle network to help easily reject the challenges of opponents.
But in reality? If someone really wanted to make a move, it was very hard to stop them. One could only fight when the situation came to that.
Thirty-Six Hours was a name that attracted the hate of others. Qin Fen reckoned that the number of challengers was sufficient to form a line from recruit camp all the way too the ocean.
Qin Fen quickly entered the Aerial Combat Network portion of the Sky Battle Net. He chose the Specter Fighter he was most proficient with. Though this place wasn’t as realistic as simulator cabins, it was still quite realistic. He was able to adapt quite quickly.
Qin Fen called Lev Mirov and received a message back. I have spent money to open a private starfield. Enter the Sky Horizon Virtual Star Field.
Qin Fen was no stranger to operating the system. He soon entered the starfield.
Enzo Rota and the others had already logged on with their respective IDs. They entered in spectator mode.
“You’re using Young Master Lin’s ID?” Lev Mirov was shocked when he saw it the first time, and the others were no different. No one ever expected Lin Liqiang to let someone else borrow his ID.
“Play well, Old Qin!” Lin Liqiang, with a different ID that came from who knows where, yelled very excitedly over the communications channel.
Qin Fen quickly pulled up the data on Lev Mirov and the other’s aerial combat. It was best to make sufficient preparations before a fight. Even if the enemy was weak, there was the possibility of them creating an unexpected miracle.
Qin Fen was exceptionally prudent when it came to matters regarding money.
