From the PUBG World Chapter 7

Oliver took the letter of responsibility from Lucas.

In HOG's external competitions, players must sign a responsibility guarantee to ensure that they will not cheat in any form during the competition. If any problem occurs, all consequences will be borne by the players themselves.

The ink was still wet in the lower right corner of the letter of responsibility, and it was written stroke by stroke: Bruce.

Oliver folded the letter of responsibility bit by bit: "Give me a list of participants."

Lucas smiled guiltily, turned around and tried to use Oliver's computer to check the list online. Oliver frowned and hissed. Lucas accepted his fate, stood up and walked a few steps inside, sat down at Jasper's computer, turned on the computer and opened a web page, and complained in a low voice: "There are so many things to do... You must have gone crazy from playing professionally? You treat the keyboard as your wife, and no one can touch it."

Oliver ignored him and tapped on his keyboard a few times.

Lucas looked at Oliver in confusion: "What's that sound?"

Oliver had no expression on his face: "What sound?"

"Don't you only use blue switches?" Lucas looked at Oliver's keyboard, "That sound just now... is this a red switch?"

Oliver nodded, and Lucas smiled: "Who said that before? The red shaft is too soft and I can't feel it?"

"Red Axis saves your energy." Oliver said impatiently, "Are you done yet? Where's the list?"

"Okay, okay." Lucas copied the list and sent it to Oliver, "See your WeChat."

"IAC, Lioness, Wolves..." Oliver took out his phone and opened WeChat. His face became more and more gloomy as he looked through a series of lists. "NON, TGC... Huh? A team from the Knights is coming too? Is Hua Luo too idle to do anything?"

The Knights are an established gaming club in China that is as strong as HOG. Hua Luo is the captain of their PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds division.

Lucas didn't dare to offend Oliver, and smiled awkwardly: "The Knights will definitely not look down on this little bonus, but there haven't been many competitions in the past two months... They have also recruited a few new people recently, so they need to train them."

Not to mention the first-line teams ahead, when Oliver saw the flower falling, he knew that Bruce had no hope. Oliver had fought with him for many years and knew his level better than anyone else. Oliver put away his phone and turned to go downstairs.

The first flu of this winter swept Shanghai. Psychological counselor Xie Chen was unfortunately infected at home. He did not dare to bring the virus back and infect the players whose lives were more precious than gold. He returned to the base a week later, after he had completely recovered from the cold.

Even so, Lucas ordered him to wear a mask all day and not go to the third floor within a week.

"Long story short." Oliver sat in the lounge and looked at Xie Chen, "There's a game in half an hour, I have to go and watch it."

"Isn't it the second team's game? It has nothing to do with you." Xie Chen sat opposite Oliver with a smile, clasped his hands, and asked expectantly, "Does Qi Shen finally need my help?"

Xie Chen was only in his early thirties. He had an eccentric personality and was very unstable, so much so that Oliver once couldn't understand why the team spent so much money every year to hire such a thing to be in the team.

Now that he was wearing a mask, he looked like a psychological counselor. Xie Chen said seriously, "Repent, child. God is merciful."

"I'm not in the mood to chat with you." Oliver threw his phone aside, "Youth, you know, right?"

Xie Chen nodded: "Of course."

Oliver said: "You told Nolan and Lucas that he is not suitable to join the second team for the time being?"

"Yes." Xie Chen saw that Oliver was really talking about business, so he stopped playing around and said, "I don't recommend it."

Oliver: "The reason."

Xie Chen hesitated.

Oliver sneered: "You don't want us to have him, and you don't give us a reason?"

Xie Chen had no choice but to say: "My preliminary judgment is...he has a tendency to anxiety disorder."

Oliver frowned.

Oliver didn't quite understand: "Anxiety...anxiety about what?"

"Maybe it's not that serious, it's just a negative plot." Xie Chen spread his hands, "I'm just a psychological counselor, I don't have the authority to diagnose, but if you ask him to go to a regular hospital for consultation, the doctor should give him a diagnosis mainly in the direction of anxiety."

"How did he get sick?" Oliver's mind kept flashing back to the scenes from a year ago, and he couldn't quite accept it. "Isn't he just a little bit withdrawn? He...how can this disease be cured?"

"It may not be a disease, it may just be negativity... Forget it, I can't explain it to you." Xie Chen gave up explaining and said helplessly, "How can I know what caused it, how to treat it... Captain Qi, I said, I am just a counselor, I don't have..."

"What's the point of you then?" Oliver was irritated and asked, "You know whether it's serious or not, right?"

"I don't think it's serious, but..." Xie Chen paused, "I still don't recommend it. I heard from Coach Lai that the team wants to train him as a main player, which means he may have to represent the club in various major competitions in the future. You know better than me that all problems will be infinitely magnified on the field. If he suddenly has a problem, then... you know."

"When will he have problems?" The fog in Oliver's mind gradually disappeared, and a thought that Oliver didn't dare to believe was about to come out, "What will happen if something goes wrong?"

"Not necessarily. Youth usually has its own specific negative triggering scenarios. What will happen... Common symptoms are some autonomic nervous system symptoms." Xie Chen explained, "For example, chest tightness, sweating... difficulty breathing, body tremors..."

Oliver recalled the scene in the corridor a year ago, closed his eyes... and got it all right.

Oliver was silent for a long time, then suddenly slammed the table and cursed.

Xie Chen was startled: "What...what happened?"

Oliver's phone buzzed, and he took a look... Seven forty-seven, Bruce's solo match was about to start at eight o'clock.

"I'll find you later." Oliver left the training room.

For the online competition, players can participate in their respective bases. Three people from Team 2 and Bruce participated in the competition in the training room on the first floor. Oliver watched for a while through the glass wall, but Bruce still had his back to him. Oliver didn't want to affect Bruce's performance, so he went back to the third floor.

"Why do you look so bad?" Lucas went upstairs with a drink, dragged a chair over and sat next to Oliver, "I'll watch it with you."

Oliver didn't say anything. He sat down at his seat and turned on the live broadcast channel of the game.

The competition has been going on for two days. The day before yesterday was a four-row match, yesterday was a two-row match, and today is a solo match.

HOG's performance in the past two days of competition was average. It ranked eleventh in the four-person team competition the day before yesterday, and yesterday, the second team that Bruce was in ranked seventeenth.

There were too many first-tier teams participating in this competition, so HOG sent out the second team to compete. It was expected that they would not get a good ranking. The three members of the second team were very excited at first. Lucas told everyone that whoever won the gold pot in the solo competition would be able to move to the third floor that night. However, after being taught a lesson by various great players in the past two days, everyone calmed down.

The difference in levels is too great to be attributed to luck or performance.

No means no.

"Youth has been practicing solo this week. He trained until 6am yesterday and only slept for four hours at most..." Lucas felt a headache just thinking about it and sighed, "He is really good at fighting, even though he already knows it's impossible."

Oliver quietly looked at Bruce's game ID in the live broadcast interface with a complicated look in his eyes: "He has always been like this."

During the Goblet of Fire that year, Bruce was always the first one to arrive and the last one to leave in the training room.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have met Oliver who suddenly wanted to go to the training room to practice some skills.

There are five solo matches in total, and the result is the total score of the five games. The score of each game is composed of two parts: ranking points and kill points.

Each ranking has specific points. The first place, commonly known as the chicken dinner, gets 500 points, the second place gets 395 points, the third place gets 335 points... As the ranking goes down, the points decrease gradually. Those ranked below 20 get less than 100 points.

The head points are simple. Each successful kill counts as one head, which is 10 points in total. Two heads are 20 points, and so on.

The sum of the two points is the player's performance score in this game. The person with the highest total score in five games is the champion of this solo competition.

The first game has already begun. Because of the big rhythm that Oliver personally led a week ago, Bruce has become famous before the game. The director frequently cuts the camera to Bruce. Oliver slightly narrows his eyes and looks at Bruce. Lucas doesn't understand the technical aspects very well, and can't help asking Oliver: "Is Bruce's jump position okay? I haven't seen him play solo yet, how is this game?"

Oliver shook his head slightly.

Bruce’s choice of location was not wrong, he jumped into the ruins, but the location of the safety circle in this game was too bad, it was spawned in the mine, a real circle of punishment. From the director’s God’s perspective, Bruce had to be blocked by at least three people if he wanted to enter the safety circle.

Bruce does not have a God's perspective. In the game, he can only judge the route into the circle through the sounds of footsteps, grass, the exposed bodies of enemies, and his own familiarity with the terrain. Bruce was careful enough. He drove to the logging camp, ready to leave after the wave of people at the airport entered the circle. Unexpectedly, Hua Zui of the Knights had been hiding in M City and waited to harvest the last wave of children entering the circle. Bruce did not position himself well and was killed by Hua Zui.

There were no teammates in the solo competition, so there was no possibility of teammates helping him up. If he fell to the ground, he was eliminated directly. Bruce's ranking was announced - 27th.

"Oh no! It's over!" Lucas said with regret, "Let me count... he got five kills, but his ranking is too low! Ranking points are 80 points, kills are 50 points, a total of only 130! It's over, it's over, it's over."

The results were calculated based on the total points of the five games. Bruce lost so badly in the first game that it was almost impossible for him to catch up later.

What’s more…this is the first game.

"Will this kid's mentality collapse?" Lucas felt a little regretful, "The next four games will be difficult... This blow..."

Oliver looked at the screen quietly without saying a word.

Ten minutes later, the first game ended, and Huazui from the Knights took first place as expected. He got seven kills in this game and had a total score of 570.

After one game, he had already opened up a gap of 440 points between him and Bruce.

The second game begins.

Bruce didn't seem to be too affected. He chose the location more carefully this time. After landing, he avoided everyone and found a boat to go to City Z. This time the safe zone was in the school, and no one targeted him too much. Bruce steadily took heads all the way and successfully entered the final circle. In the end, he collected a total of twelve heads, ranking seventh with 325 points.

In the third game, Bruce killed ten people and ranked third with 435 points.

Lucas shook his head slightly.

These two games were barely passable, but were dragged down by the first game and were still far from enough.

Oliver remained silent.

His mind was not on the game.

Xie Chen said that Bruce might have anxiety disorder.

So... Bruce was so excited that he pushed me away, took a deep breath, and kept wiping his face with his hands...

Maybe it’s not because I hate myself?

It is possible that Bruce really liked me.

If it were true...

Oliver thought back to his reaction at that time, and then thought back to a week ago when he was live streaming in front of countless fans and half-jokingly asked, "Do you like Oliver?"

Bruce's voice was trembling at the time, and he repeated it twice: I like it.

Oliver gritted his teeth...Am I a beast?

If this is true...

Oliver didn't even dare to think about what Bruce's expression was when he was asked whether he liked him or not.

For the first time, Oliver was afraid that he had never liked her, but also afraid that he really liked her.

"Brother Qi... don't be like this." Lucas thought Oliver was still upset about his harsh demands on him. Seeing that Bruce had no hope of winning the championship, Lucas said awkwardly, "Aren't there many competitions? If it doesn't work this time, we'll find another chance next time."

Oliver felt mixed emotions and said to himself: "It's too late."

"Hey! It's not too late. Don't worry, Youth won't be too frustrated. If he has another chance, he can still fight like this." Lucas looked at the live broadcast interface of the game and said firmly, "Of course."

Oliver ignored him.

"Really." Lucas didn't know the inside story, and was afraid that Oliver would really blame him, so he couldn't help but flatter him, "I didn't tell you about Bruce's family, did I?"

Oliver turned his head: "What?"

The other members of the team were busy with their own things, all wearing noise-isolating headphones. Lucas was still worried, so he subconsciously moved closer to Oliver and whispered, "You know, we have to check the resumes of young trainees. Many of them have been trained in other teams. Many professional players have unclear contracts and are forced to transfer. If anything happens, I will have to clean up the mess..."

"When I checked Bruce, I found a lot of problems."

The fourth game begins.

Bruce was far behind in points, and he was probably eager to earn points, so he jumped directly from the airport this time.

"From what we can find, his student status only stopped at the first year of high school." Lucas lowered his voice, "Although there are many young people who start playing professionally, it is relatively rare to start in the first year of high school."

"He was so young that I thought he was underage when I first saw him, so I paid extra attention to him and even asked him if he needed his parents to come and find out about it, so that we wouldn't have any disagreements that would be difficult to resolve in the future... He said no."

"I later learned that ... his father died when he was very young."

"He followed his mother to remarry, and his stepfather's information...is a little bit unremarkable."

"His stepfather was detained several times for drunkenness and causing trouble. He seems to have a tendency to...domestic violence."

In the live broadcast interface, a total of six people jumped into the airport.

Oliver looked at Lucas in surprise.

"Don't tell anyone." Lucas whispered, "If nothing unexpected happens, Bruce has been left alone since he was twelve years old."

"Twelve?" Oliver looked at Lucas in disbelief, "What can he do at the age of twelve?"

"Too much... You have classes during the day, so you can always stay in school, right? At night... go to the Internet cafe to check the computers, sell point cards for the network administrator, you can always find a place to stay." Lucas smiled bitterly, "Don't tell me about the Minor Protection Act, Master, do you think everyone is like you?"

With a bang, Bruce killed the last person at the airport, bandaged himself, got into good shape, and fought his way out of the airport with five heads.

Oliver's chest seemed to be pierced by ten heavy sniper rifles, making him speechless.

At the end of the fourth game, Bruce killed six people and ranked second with 455 points.

Lucas's heart moved and he opened the statistics interface...No hope, Bruce ranked fifth in total points.

"I wanted to tell you the other day that you don't have to worry about his mental breakdown affecting future training." Lucas spread his hands, "To be honest, I prefer players like this to young masters like you."

"For a child who grew up in a mud pit, even if you throw stones at him and step on his shoulders and kick him, as long as there is a chance..." The fifth game started, Lucas closed the statistics interface, "he can crawl out of the mud little by little."

Oliver's eyes trembled slightly, he stood up and went downstairs.

The fifth game begins.

In the training room on the first floor, Bruce closed the game statistics... His total points were now 300 points behind the number one Knight Huazui.

The commentator has just said that if nothing unexpected happens, the champion of this solo competition will be won.

After playing four games, Bruce could feel that the man was really strong.

But Bruce felt that he was not as strong as Oliver.

As long as Oliver is not there...

Bruce put on his headphones, took a deep breath, and jumped off the plane.

As long as he wasn't as strong as Oliver, Bruce felt that he could still fight.

From childhood to adulthood, he never misses any opportunity.
