Chapter Ninety-Two: A Monumental Discovery (Third Update!)
Mistaken identity?
Shen Muyan was stunned.
No, how could he possibly have the wrong person?
This man was someone he would probably never forget for the rest of his life.
He was the first person bold enough to make a fool of him like that.
“You’re messing with me?”
After a moment’s thought, Shen Muyan quickly caught on, and a flash of anger appeared on his face.
He had already been tricked by this guy at least twice. How could he possibly fall for it again?
“You really have the wrong person. I’m really not Yang Haoran,” Yang Hao said helplessly when he saw the other man did not believe him.
In this day and age, even the truth was not believed.
Honest people really had it hard.
“Heh. You think I’d believe that?”
Shen Muyan gave a cold laugh, his face full of disdain.
If you say you’re not, then you’re not? On what grounds?
You pull off your little stunt and run, and now you didn’t expect to run into me again, did you?
Heh.
“If you’re not Yang Haoran, I’ll write my name backward!” Shen Muyan said with complete confidence as he watched Yang Hao pretend to be clueless.
He wasn’t blind. How could he possibly mistake the person?
Just because they had changed locations did not mean he would fail to recognize him.
At the same time, Gao He, who had just walked over, could not help but revel in the drama after hearing Shen Muyan’s words.
Sorry, that guy really isn’t called Yang Haoran!
No one knew how many people Yang Hao had fooled by using the name Yang Haoran, so seeing Shen Muyan get serious over that name, Gao He found it hilarious too.
The person was the same person, but the name really was wrong. Gao He could vouch for that.
Still, seeing Shen Muyan march straight into the trap himself, Gao He couldn’t be bothered to interfere. He simply stood off to the side and watched the show.
“It’s true?”
Yang Hao asked cautiously, his voice a little weak, giving off the impression that he lacked confidence.
“It’s absolutely true!”
Seeing Yang Hao’s expression, Shen Muyan felt completely reassured and gave an emphatic nod.
“Fine, then take a good look.”
After saying that, Yang Hao pulled out his ID card and waved it in front of him.
Once Shen Muyan had seen it clearly, Yang Hao put the ID card away and spread his hands in resignation. “Now do you believe me? I really am not Yang Haoran.”
Watching Yang Hao put on such a serious act of swaggering confidence, Zhang Tian, Yao Cheng, Zhu Ziran, and Zhou Chen could not help but suppress their laughter.
So shameless.
Someone had just fallen for it without even noticing.
“Yang Hao?”
The one who had fallen for it was naturally Shen Muyan. At that moment, he stared blankly at Yang Hao and murmured the name once.
“That’s right, it’s me!”
This time, Yang Hao did not deny it.
However, upon hearing Yang Hao’s voice, Shen Muyan nearly coughed up blood.
It seemed he had accidentally stepped into another trap.
The third time already...
Was this man’s routine a little too deep?
“I won’t say much more. Just be careful in the final that’s coming up.”
With that, the other man seemed ready to slip away.
“Don’t leave so fast. Let me ask you something—how do you write your name backward?”
Yang Hao looked at the figure turning away, called out softly, and made the other man stumble.
Caught completely off guard.
Seeing this, Yao Cheng and the others were nearly laughing themselves sick.
After another while, the competing teams, including Yang Hao’s group, were led one after another into the tournament venue by the staff.
It was not their first time here, so Yang Hao and the others were already rather familiar with the place.
They checked their machines and adjusted their peripherals. By the time everything was mostly ready, it was nearly eight o’clock.
The match was about to begin.
The host entered, gave a brief opening, and the final soon got underway.
At the same time, the university’s livestream room on Tomato TV was already showing the twenty-five teams appearing together on the starting island.
The final was being streamed live in real time.
As soon as the broadcast began, the audience that had long been waiting in the livestream room immediately unleashed a frenzy of comments.
Although the on-site studio was not small, the number of seats was still limited. Naturally, many people who could not come in person had no choice but to stay in front of their computers and watch the livestream.
At Tianhai University of Science and Technology, in the esports club, the facilities and venue were far inferior to those of Tianhai University’s esports club, but even so, quite a few people had gathered there to watch the online livestream and cheer for Shen Muyan and the others.
The team Shen Muyan had led into the competition could be said to be the four strongest players in their school. They had gone over to challenge the hosts on their home turf, and everyone was eager to see whether they could pull it off.
If they could take first place in the other school’s own arena, the slap in the face would be exquisite indeed.
As Tianhai University of Science and Technology’s campus celebrity and gaming god, Shen Muyan also had plenty of fans and admiring junior girls present there.
Likewise, a similar scene was unfolding at Tianhai Normal University.
In the game, the twenty-five teams appeared together aboard the plane.
The final’s flight path split nearly the entire map in two.
Starting from City L, it passed over places like School and Water City, and finally went by the upper district of G Port.
As the plane passed over City L, Yang Hao and the others did not jump. They had just confirmed that this time they would be dropping directly at School, which lay along the flight path.
They had chosen City L for the afternoon qualifiers because only the top five were needed to advance, so Yang Hao and the others had not been all that invested.
But this time, they had come for first place.
Because of workload and time constraints, the final of this campus battle royale tournament would consist of only one match.
In other words, in this one match, whoever took first place would be the champion of the entire tournament.
Of course, “first place” here did not necessarily mean the team that ended with the final meal.
As mentioned earlier, the final ranking of the teams would be determined by a combination of placement points and elimination points.
That meant the number of eliminations a team secured would also affect the final ranking and the outcome.
So, in order to ensure victory, Yang Hao and the others had to secure enough elimination points early on.
The plane passed over the school grounds.
Jump!
Touchdown, find weapons!
Because of the school’s location, combined with the flight path, a particularly large number of people chose to land there this time.
Gunfire erupted almost immediately.
The livestream camera quickly cut to the area.
At the same time, in a dorm room at Tianhai University, a little girl wearing a pink tank top sat down in front of her computer with a glass of water in hand, her eyes fixed on the screen, where Tianhai University’s battle royale final was being broadcast live.
As a die-hard fan of Lin Zijing, she would normally have opened Lin Zijing’s livestream without fail at this time, but today was an exception.
Because tonight, her idol Zhou Chen was also taking part in the battle royale tournament.
So she was here to cheer for the male god in her heart.
On the screen, several teams that had landed at the school were already engaged in fierce fighting.
Just then, a knockdown notification appeared on the screen.
“Yoyo My Heart knocked down Admiring Your Beauty with a headshot using an M16A4!”
“Yoyo My Heart knocked down Give Me a Little Care with a headshot using an M16A4!”
When she saw the first knockdown message, she thought she was seeing things.
But when she saw Yang Hao’s in-game ID appear again in the livestream, she froze.
“Master Scammer?”
She murmured the words, her eyes growing brighter and brighter, as though she had just discovered some earth-shattering secret.
