Chapter 254: Going Solo and Can’t Find Anyone
This time, it could only be blamed on Weibo’s team being too careless, choosing to distribute items on the rooftop. If they had done it indoors, they wouldn’t have faced such a critical situation. This kind of rookie mistake is understandable for a new team.
If it were teams like 17 or OMG, Jiang Siming wouldn’t have had the chance. Those teams always choose the safest locations for loot distribution.
After effortlessly eliminating a squad, Jiang Siming looked at the golden and white lights glowing on the rooftop, as if he had spotted a treasure. He’d much prefer replacing the gray fragments from earlier with either of these; they’d definitely be more useful than a pistol.
White fragments, in particular, were becoming rare. Jiang Siming thought there wouldn’t be any left, considering how many he’d already collected in *PUBG*. He’d learned nearly every skill that the game offered with those white fragments. He assumed they’d stop appearing, but to his surprise, another one just dropped.
He hurried to check what it was.
Currently, he was short three fragments for [Advanced Swimming] and one fragment for 20% shares in Huayi Brothers.
On his way down the mountain, Jiang Siming glanced at his bounty rewards.
"Kill count +1, random bounty reward: 1 fragment."
Seeing this, Jiang Siming felt like hitting something. "Whatever, I made billions yesterday, no need to argue with it."
Reaching the rooftop, Jiang Siming immediately picked up the fragments. As for items like an 8x scope, he left them aside."Picked up [Lamborghini: Slam Dunk Limited Edition Coupe] Gold Fragment *1 (1/2), insufficient fragments to assemble."
A Lamborghini from a *Slam Dunk* series? Jiang Siming thought this was incredible.
Did Lamborghini really release *Slam Dunk*-themed cars? He hadn’t heard of it, but the concept alone made him excited. *Slam Dunk* was one of his favorite animes during his school years.
Once he collected the necessary fragments, he couldn’t wait to see what the car looked like.
"Picked up [Bandit’s Instinct] White Fragment *1 (1/3), insufficient fragments to assemble."
**[Bandit’s Instinct]: Within a 2000-meter radius, you can sense the location of any player who finds high-level items.
High-level items include: Level 3 Helmet, Level 3 Armor, Airdrop Weapons, 8x Scope, and 15x Scope.**
Wow! What a skill! Jiang Siming laughed heartily. This skill was amazing! The name and function matched perfectly—*Bandit’s Instinct*.
Within a 2000-meter range, he could pinpoint anyone carrying good loot. It was a pity that it required three fragments, which were quite rare in his current pool.
After securing the two fragments, Jiang Siming finally turned to loot the crates, equipping the 8x scope on his Kar98k.
His Kar98k still didn’t have a skin—he was waiting for his own MVP skin. Aside from his own or his team’s skins, he wasn’t interested in others.
His MVP skin was almost ready. Just a few days ago, Bluehole had emailed him, saying that by the end of the month, his custom skin would be available for sale. It would even come with exclusive animations.
The developers had teased him, refusing to reveal the exact details of the skin and animations, saying it was meant to be a surprise for the "Ming God."
The officials started joking around, leaving Jiang Siming helpless, so he could only wait.
The 3x scope removed from the 98k was not wasted by Jiang Siming; instead, he mounted it on his M416, while the original red-dot sight was mercilessly discarded.
"Looks like Ming God plans to use the 3x scope for the whole game. Many pro players are using 3x for close-range combat now, but most prefer SCAR-L. It’s rare to see it on an M416, as it’s a bit harder to control," commented Cheng Hui.
"That depends on who’s using it. When the 3x scope first came out, Ming Shen demonstrated it during a livestream and even taught viewers how to control recoil. For him, the 3x scope is no issue at all," Qian Yi said, openly showing her bias towards Jiang Siming.
The audience understood her favoritism, especially after her enthusiastic display last night, and knew why she was such a big fan of Ming.
Xiao Xiong also smiled and agreed, "For Ming God, controlling recoil is a breeze. He’s even managed it with a 6x scope on an unmodified rifle, let alone a fully equipped M4 with a 3x."
After leaving the building in Ad Tower, Jiang Siming found a sports car in San Martin and started speeding through the desert map.
He was eager to quickly collect the fragments for [Lamborghini: Slam Dunk Limited Edition Coupe] and [Bandit’s Instinct] to see their effects.
Especially [Bandit’s Instinct]; once collected, it would make finding enemies much easier, even if [Game Modifier] couldn’t be used.
So, his sole mission now was simple: find people and kill them!
Driving north from San Martin, Jiang Siming headed towards the Water Treatment Plant.
Outside the Water Treatment Plant, 17 Squad, who were looting, spotted his sports car.
"Captain, there’s a sports car coming. One person. Should we shoot?" Da Jing asked 17shou.
17shou immediately declined.
"If it’s just one person, don’t shoot. It’s probably Ming God. He loves going solo. Let’s not provoke him; we’ll stack up points first and deal with him in the final circle."
This strategy had already been adopted by many professional teams: avoid Jiang Siming!
Since in professional matches, only Jiang Siming dared to play solo, teams created a new rule: before the fifth circle, do not shoot at a single driver.
Jiang Siming roamed the entire northern map, but no one shot at him, leaving him quite frustrated.
Even though he knew there were enemies around, no matter how close he drove to their compounds, they wouldn’t fire.
He also didn’t dare to recklessly get out of the car alone, as it could lead to being instantly killed by a four-man team.
After driving around for a while, Jiang Siming realized their strategy.
But where there’s a will, there’s a way. Jiang Siming immediately changed tactics and decided to regroup with his team.
Teaming up with Wei Shen and the others, they set out together.
Returning to the Water Treatment Plant, gunfire erupted as expected.
"I can’t believe it. When I charge solo, you don’t shoot, but when four of us come, you’re all firing at once," Jiang Siming muttered with a helpless expression.

"Is this how you play the game? Clearly, you don’t want me to take all the kills."
"Fine, if you want a 4v4, I’ll grant your wish."
Jiang Siming boldly stopped his car in the middle of the road, parking just ten meters away from 17 Squad’s Houzi.
As soon as he stopped, Houzi began spraying with his AK, but Jiang Siming quickly switched seats and exited from the other side.
With the 3x M416 in hand, he unleashed a storm, instantly tearing Houzi apart!
"**! It’s Ming God! He’s changed his tactics!" Houzi exclaimed in shock.
Hearing this, 17shou gave a bitter smile and said, "Then we have no choice. Focus fire on Ming God first; his position is the weakest. Take him down!"
At 17shou’s command, three guns immediately aimed at Jiang Siming.
Jiang Siming began using [Extreme Movement] to frantically dodge bullets, even managing to pull out his 98k and knock down Da Jing with one shot.
17shou and Ma Niu Niu became even more aggressive, unleashing bursts of gunfire at Jiang Siming.
Despite Jiang Siming’s best efforts to dodge, he took a momentary pause to finish Da Jing, during which he was hit by their focused fire.
After taking four bullets, his Level 3 armor was completely destroyed.
Just two more shots would have finished him.
However, the rest of 4AM had already flanked in a triangular formation, pinning down 17shou and Ma Niu Niu.
They swiftly eliminated the two who were still firing at Jiang Siming.
Jiang Siming, though, took one last bullet from 17shou and was knocked down.
