PUBG Online Romance of the Century

Edited by Divetus and Noks

Yu Yan had always felt that, out of all the people he had ever met, Lu Xiuhe was the most talkative.

Literally. As long as he was with you and his mouth was empty, he seemed to be able to talk and talk, until the end of the world.

Now, Yu Yan realized that there was always someone out there who was stronger.

During the two hours of playing, the new boss never stopped talking.

"Xiao Yan, come here. Ge will give you a first aid kit. I'll properly curry favor with you so if I get knocked down later, you can help me up."

"Xiao Yan, come here. Let's go for an in-game drive. Next time I go to Manyang, I'll take you on a ride in the real thing."

"Does Xiao Yan have a butt? I'll trade my heart for one."

He was talking about the M416's gunstock.

Yu Yan might be dense, but even he could see that the other side was deliberately saying such ambiguous words.

Although it was very effective on the barrage, he didn't want to attract viewers this way.

"Boss." He politely said, with a half-surrendering feeling, "I just gave No. 1 a magnifying scope. If I find another one later, I'll give it to you, so don't act gay towards me."

Zhou Yan paused, then jokingly said, "Aren't you always acting gay with No. 1? Why is it not okay when it's with me? Don't treat me differently ah."

He hadn't expected the other side to drag Yi Chen into this; Yu Yan was dumbstruck for a moment.

Did he usually talk to 1 in that manner? No ba….

Yi Chen spoke up, "North direction, someone's there."

Yu Yan got a hold of himself and quickly opened the scope to look in the direction that Yi Chen mentioned.

As soon as Yu Yan aimed at the opponent's helmet, he heard a bang; Yi Chen had already taken the lead in headshotting the person.

"Boss 1 is so awesome ah." Lu Xiuhe said, "I feel like you've improved so quickly. I doubt that I was as good as you when I had played the game for just 20 hours."

Yi Chen didn't speak. He was still aiming in the opponent's direction since the system didn't give a kill notification—indicating that the enemy still had teammates alive over there.

Yu Yan absent-mindedly switched his guns, preparing to survey if he could just run over there to finish that guy off, when he suddenly heard a noise.

It took him several seconds to recover. "There's someone close by!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. As soon as he spoke, there was a fierce gunshot nearby, and Zhou Yan was knocked down.

Yu Yan immediately hid behind a rock and determined the enemy's position based on the gunshot just now. After reporting the coordinates, he started to fight back. Lu Xiuhe also quickly responded and pulled out a frag grenade. "Xiao Yan, I'll toss a frag grenade. Pay attention to the enemy movements and kill them as soon as they're exposed."

Yu Yan answered, "Okay."

Although Lu Xiuhe's technique was just average, the two of them had played together for a long time, so they could still coordinate well with each other. And just like that, a few moments later, the two enemies who had rushed out were killed by them.

Lu Xiuhe said, "They weren't directly eliminated, so there should be another one left."

"They're over there, trying to revive their teammates." Yi Chen marked a point on the map. "Behind this tree; I just missed him."

Zhou Yan clicked his tongue. "You're too noob ba. I also just saw the person and shot them twice. Unfortunately, I'm not holding a good gun. If you had given me your 98K, the enemy would've been dead."

"So, if you don't know how to play, don't try to fight over guns. Just watch people eat chicken in the livestream bei, instead of coming here to waste team resources."

Bang——

The gunshot seemed to have slapped Zhou Yan's face, and a line of white text appeared at the bottom left of the screen.

[Y11iic eliminated B8129_S with a Kar98K]

One corner of Yu Yan's mouth quirked up, and he said in a low voice, "Powerful."

[This boss talks a lot of shit ah. Can the anchor stop taking him along?]

[Also, mocking Boss 1; who didn't start off as a newbie ah? And, 1 has killed enemies, what did you do?]

[laoshu's going to have to bow down to this anchor's gun pressure… I suppose.]

[This new boss' way of speaking is particularly vulgar. I just saw another viewer shipping him and the anchor. Please, are you unconcerned if it's fluff or shit going into your mouth?]

Zhou Yan frowned impatiently. He took two deep breaths before he continued, “Xiao Yan, come and pull me up. Hurry up.”

Just a moment ago, someone was nearby while another enemy was on the opposite side, so no one dared to come help him before. This was the second time he had been knocked down, and at this moment, he was almost done bleeding to death.

Yu Yan was preparing to head over there, but the person next to him was even faster.

Yi Chen said, "I'll go, you go loot everything."

Yu Yan let out an "oh" and agreed, "Okay. I'll go loot the two boxes over there. What do you need? I'll grab it for you."

"Bullet loop, M4 gunstock."

"Okay."

Zhou Yan looked at the person running over to him and cheered up. "You seriously still don't know how to play. Do you have an M416 on you? What's the use of an M416 gunstock?"

Yi Chen didn't speak. He crouched down to help him.

It takes ten seconds to revive a teammate. During the last three seconds, Zhou Yan opened up his inventory, casually getting ready to heal himself.

But, when the revive animation was down to the last second, the person next to him somehow stepped back and interrupted the revive process.

Zhou Yan was stunned as he watched his health continue to bleed out. He was about to die and he frantically asked, "What are you doing ah? The revive process was cut off!"

"En?" The game character next to him turned around and the man's tone was very careless. "I'm a noob, don't really get it."

That is, if Yi Chen had helped Zhou Yan up immediately after the interruption, he could still be revived.

It just so happened that Yi Chen simply turned around on the spot with no intention of helping Zhou Yan up again.

Zhou Yan stared with wide eyes as the last bit of his character's health disappeared; he fell to the ground, leaving a lootbox beside him.

Yi Chen bent over, looted his M416 and asked him, "Do you see the M4 now?"

[Boss is so handsome, I'm in love.]

[Deliberately trolling your own teammates? It's really disgusting. I hope you bros who are praising this action will meet such teammates in the future.]

[Really? Can I seriously meet such a distinguished teammate such as Boss 1 in the game?]

[Please throw your rainbow farts into the trash, previous poster; I can smell it from here.]

[If the anchor was a woman, this person's words would be considered sexual harassment, OK? Why wouldn't they just kill him instead of keeping this teammate around? Boss 1 is domineering.]

Zhou Yan just watched as Yi Chen looted his stuff and then ran to the opposite hill to get the M4 gunstock from Yu Yan.

"Hey. What's the meaning of this ah? On purpose?"

Yu Yan said, "He's a noob, it wasn't intentional."

Zhou Yan retorted, "Is he mentally retarded then? If he can't even revive people, why is he even playing this game?"

"Fine. Since this is the case, let's play against each other next match. We'll see who manages to kill the other one first."

Originally, Yu Yan had still been calm, but after hearing this sentence, he immediately wasn't happy anymore.

"Forget it, Boss. I'll return the money you gifted back to you later. You can find another anchor to carry you ba. I'm also not that strong and am carrying a noob, so I'm afraid I've upset you." Yu Yan said, "Don't worry, I'll refund everything back to you."

[Holy crap, the anchor is pretty good. This is the first time that I've seen an anchor return the donated money back to a stream follower.]

[Wow. Usually, in this case, the anchor would just try to smooth things over.]

Zhou Yan asked, "Are you chasing your patron away? Do I lack this 2000 yuan?"

Lu Xiuhe didn't expect them to start quarrelling. He quickly mediated, "Don't be angry ah, Boss. Xiao Yan is just worried that you'll have a bad game experience."

Yu Yan let out an "en", but it was unknown who he was responding to.

"Alright." Seeing on the screen that the three people were still happily playing, and that his words seemed to have no impact on them, Zhou Yan let out an extremely angry laugh, "You're just awesome."

When he finished saying that, the other party left the game and they didn't hear his voice again.

Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

This was why he didn't like receiving gifts.

[Holy shit, that boss really left lolololol]

[This stream is really full of surprises. Followed.]

[I went to look at that boss' profile. He's gifted over 10,000 yuan worth of StarTV gifts… Anchor, you've driven away a big boss.]

"Don't need any bosses. It's fine as long as you guys like watching the stream." Not wanting to get dragged back into this topic again, Yu Yan said, "Going to show you guys some skillful 8x scope gameplay."

[Can you repeat that? Skillful play of what scope magnification?]

[Pay attention antis, the botting is going to start right in front!]

[You have an 8x scope??]

"No." Yu Yan's eyes curved as he laughed, "Wait for me to pick up one, then I'll talk."

By the time the match was over, it was also time to end the stream.

After saying goodbye to the viewers, Yu Yan turned off the livestream, opened the gifts interface, and found Zhou Yan's StarTV ID.

He sent Zhou Yan a private message but found that he had been blacklisted by him. Thus, Yu Yan could only use other methods to return the meteor shower gift.

Gifts couldn't directly be refunded for money on the platform, but it was possible to refund them into star coins. Stream followers could then use the refunded star coins to buy gifts for other players.

Yu Yan returned 2000 star coins to Zhou Yan's StarTV account before shutting down his computer.

As soon as he stood up, he heard a notification from his cellphone.

1: I did it on purpose just now.

Yu Yan: What?

1: Not reviving that person.

Yu Yan: … I know.

1: [Transfers RMB 2000.00 to you]

Yu Yan hurriedly clicked to refund him.

Yu Yan: No need… I didn't want to carry him anyway.

1: [Transfers RMB 2000.00 to you]

1: You covered for me. If I still let you suffer losses, that wouldn't make sense.

Yu Yan stared at this sentence, but after a long time, the message still wasn't recalled.

1: Or do you want two meteor showers?

Yu Yan was given a scare. He replied: Why would you double it?

1: The platform gets half the gift money. If I don't send two, how could you get back the original sum?

Yu Yan gave in. He felt that if he didn't accept it, 1 would actually run to the livestream to spam him with gifts.

Yu Yan: [Collected 2000.00]

Yu Yan: [WillBeBoss'SlaveTonight.jpg]

1: No need tonight.

Yu Yan stared at this sentence for a long time before he realized——that was a reply to his emoji??

Yu Yan: … So, I'll do it when there's a chance in the future?

1: En.

What kind of fucking X-rated conversation was this?

Yu Yan's mind immediately imagined the other side's low and deep "en" sound, and his cheeks suddenly flushed. He quickly scooped up some water and patted it onto his face, but the heat on his face didn't disappear for a long time.

The next day, he woke up to Lu Xiuhe's QQ message.

Your Great Lord Lu: [webpage link] Hurry and go have a look.

Yu Yan was still sleepy. He yawned and slowly opened the website, but his phone automatically swapped to a video-playing layout.

… The title of the video was "The Must-Tell Beautiful Love Story between a Little Anchor and a Big Boss. [VoD Edit]".

He opened it in a daze, and a completely girly BGM appeared. A girl sang softly——

"I can't find a good reason to stop all of this intimacy."

The video showed a PUBG match, in which his character had his head lowered and was dropping an M24 on the ground.

His voice sounded out from within the background music. "You take this."

"Nobody understands, nobody is like me, falling in love with a stranger."

It was followed by 1's voice. "And… I just like to play with No. 2. No. 2, add me as a friend after this?"

"I think that I've already gradually grown to like you, because I possess the courage to love."

The video showed Ruins. As his character ran, he said, "Wait for me ah, I'll be back soon!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Here, the game interface even had the effect of pink bubbles added to it.

…

The video was 3 minutes and 46 seconds long. Yu Yan went from squinting, to waking up, and finally to being dumbstruck——

With this video, why would he need to watch the livestream VoDs or listen to those few seconds of WeChat voice clips every day??

Your Great Lord Lu: Have you finished watching?

Yu Yan snapped out of it and replied: Finished watching.

Your Great Lord Lu: All the other anchors have "Amazing Kills Compilation" and "Chicken Eating Moment". How come with you… What is this??

Yu Yan: ….

Your Great Lord Lu: Don't be too sad. Someone will definitely edit a kills compilation video for you later.

Yu Yan: …

Your Great Lord Lu: Umm, I'll ask you another question ah. What are your feelings after watching the video?

Yu Yan turned over and laid on his stomach on the bed. After carefully watching it for a second time, he clicked on the icon on the top left of his phone screen, bookmarked it, downloaded it, and then finally replied.

Yu Yan: Netizens are the most powerful people in the world.

Yu Yan: I'll love netizens forever.

Juurensha: Hahahaha, Yanyan is a big fan of this video.

Divi: I can't believe they already made an MV of Yanyan and Boss Yi. Damn the shippers are real LOL. At this point, I'm not sure if Yanyan already likes Boss Yi or if it's still just his voice. Also, the BGM is really nice, it comes from a drama OST.

Please check out and support the raws if you can!
