“It’s like this…” As soon as Wen Xi started to explain, he saw his computer screen turn black.

When it lit up again, he had appeared on a beach, where there were many people walking around. Through the barrage, Wen Xi understood that he had entered the queuing lobby. Right now, the number of people in the lobby was more than 80. When the number reached either 100 or 90 and stayed above that for more than 1 minute, the game would start automatically.

[God Xi, don’t worry, the first match is mostly AI.]

[Not necessarily in duo matches?]

[But in the first match, your opponent definitely won’t be too strong.]

Wen Xi’s attention had been caught by the barrage, so he had forgotten to answer the person’s question just now. Instead, he responded to the barrage, “Anyway, I’ll try my best.”

[Good expectations!]

[God Xi, fighting!]

“Don’t expect too much of me ah.” Wen Xi blushed from shame.

To tell the truth, he kind of regretted starting his stream now. He should have quietly tried out two matches on his own before livestreaming it.

While he was still regretting his impulsive action, the teammate in his duo asked impatiently, “Who are you talking to? You haven’t answered my question yet.”

“Oh, oh, yes.” Wen Xi then shifted his attention away from the barrage. “Actually it’s because…”

Before he could finish speaking, the computer screen went dark again—the number of players was full, and the match had begun! The barrage didn’t expect Wen Xi’s answer to be interrupted by the loading screen twice, and couldn’t help laughing and joking.

[Hahahahahaha! God Xi can’t say it.]

[Loading Screen: I won’t let you say it!]

There were also some people in a hurry to answer for him.

[Damnit, it’s stressing even me out. Bro, you’ve never played Spirit Trace?]

[Spirit Trace’s greatest god on its list of experts, Umbrella by the Stream!]

Umbrella by the Stream—yes, this was Wen Xi’s ID in Spirit Trace, and was also the name he used for his livestream. He had played an archer in Spirit Trace. He had become the top player on its experts list that summer break because of his high hit rate and sharp fighting style. Unfortunately, the game had begun to cool down in popularity by the time he graduated from college. The old players were tired of playing, and the new players thought it was too hard to start playing—after all, there was no automatic targeting on any of the skills in this game, and let alone the long-range classes, even the close combat classes couldn’t be played without possessing some skill.

However, there were advantages and disadvantages to everything. It was because Spirit Trace was so hard to play that Wen Xi’s fame could last for so long.

In the eyes of many Spirit Trace players, he was a walking bot.

The first part of the desert island battle royale mode involved parachuting. The 100 players matched in the same game lobby would take a plane and fly throughout the map of the desert island. Players were free to choose when they wanted to jump so that they would land in the area that they wanted to land on. If there were still people who didn’t jump from the plane by the time it left the desert island, those people would be directly eliminated.
