Chapter 161: Call Me Grandpa
Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Call Me Grandpa
The opponent taunted Lin Jingjing. After sending a few messages and getting no response, he probably assumed she was too embarrassed to reply because she knew she was trash.
This only made him more arrogant.
[With a base defense like that, I’ll flatten you in no time, you piece of trash.]
[If you’re a noob, just admit it. Don’t be shy. Call me ’Dad’ and I’ll go easy on you.]
[Just call me ’Daddy’ and I’ll carry you this round.]
Captain Li had wanted to enjoy the game, but this guy kept sending one infuriating message after another.
He immediately opened the chat box and furiously typed a reply.
[Like hell. You call me ’Dad,’ and I’ll let you win this round. You dare?]
[If you don’t dare, then shut up. You think 2000 points makes you hot stuff?]
’Lin Jingjing is on my team. If she’s going to call anyone ’Dad,’ it should be me!’
’Calling someone else?’
’Absolutely not!’
[Noob, I’ll show you what’s what in a minute.]
In reality, this limited mode was exactly the same as the classic one, except it gave you a starting economy and Advanced Single Pilot Mecha right from the beginning.
This only served to speed up the match, shortening the original 25-minute game time to just 15 minutes.
Lin Jingjing remained silent, focusing solely on upgrading. She spent all her gold on upgrades and sent out all her Advanced Single Pilot Mecha to farm more gold.
The Advanced Single Pilot Mecha farmed gold very quickly, bringing in fifty gold coins each time.
However, this left her frontline defenses extremely weak. The player laning against Lin Jingjing constantly attacked her defenses with large-scale Single Pilot Mecha.
As a result, Lin Jingjing’s defense fell rapidly, dropping to 70% in an instant.
Lin Jingjing deployed all the mecha from her production factory. As her gold piled up, she soon had enough to upgrade her base to level 9 in one go.
Without a second thought, she upgraded her base directly to level 9.
In a flash, her defenses, which had been about to fall below 10%, shot back up to full strength.
Because upon reaching level 9, any lost defenses are restored. Not only that, but they also become even more indestructible.
Lin Jingjing didn’t stay idle. She switched her view to the opponent’s base for a look, then dispatched two Advanced Single Pilot Mecha with commands to launch a sneak attack.
His base had few mecha defending it, and it was only level seven.
In the private chat, Captain Li quickly sent a message.
[How did you upgrade so fast?]
[Level 9 in an instant.]
[That guy must be losing his mind, right?]
Captain Li imagined the guy’s face when he saw the defensive wall he had worked so hard to break down instantly return to full health, and even stronger than before.
’The guy’s gotta be fuming.’
This kind of base-defense game was all about catching your opponent by surprise.
And with this move, Lin Jingjing had basically taunted him.
[You just wait.]
Lin Jingjing watched the defense value on her screen. A warning wouldn’t be issued until it dropped below twenty percent.
It was now at fifty percent, and Lin Jingjing’s production factory had already finished building the Advanced Single Pilot Mecha.
Lin Jingjing sent them all over in one massive wave.
[You f*cking noob! You play dirty!]
It was only after a warning from his teammate that the guy realized his base was being backdoored.
He was so angry he started cursing in the public chat.
Lin Jingjing saw the message and scoffed in disdain.
’A win is a win. Who cares about the methods?’
By the time he tried to mount a defense, it was too late. Countless Advanced Single Pilot Mecha were already storming his base.
In the end, his base was completely destroyed, and he was eliminated from the game by Lin Jingjing.
Before he was knocked out, Lin Jingjing sent a message in the public chat.
[How about you call me ’Daddy’ now?]
[You call me that, and I’ll go easy on you.]
Seeing those two sentences, the guy, in the real world, was so enraged he smashed his game controller to smithereens.
Not only that, but he also started shouting curses.
"Damn it, what a scheming bastard!"
"Go to hell!"
"Call him ’daddy’ my ass!"
The shouting was so loud that the door was opened from the outside. Someone walked in, saw the game controller smashed to pieces on the floor, and, seeing his furious state, asked, "What happened?"
When the guy saw who it was, he rushed over, grabbed the person by the collar, and yelled, "I got played!"
"AHHHH! And by a total rookie!"
The butler, Jian Xing, watched his young master’s frantic fit and sighed.
’I don’t even have to think about it. The young master must have provoked his opponent at the start of the match, then got furious when they taunted him back because he wasn’t skilled enough.’
"Young Master, allow me to avenge you," Jian Xing said simply. He walked to the side, pulled open a drawer in the coffee table, and took out a new game controller.
On the large screen in front of him, the large word "Defeat" was displayed. Not only that, but a line of text floated above it.
[Call me grandpa.]
He went straight from being a son to a grandson.
The young master, Guan Shan Nian, his face darkened even further. ’This person is so arrogant.’
After winning, Lin Jingjing felt a sense of satisfaction. ’Asking me to call him ’Dad’?’
’Then I’ll just have to beat him until he’s the grandson.’
Just then, Feng He turned to look at her and asked, "You won?"
"Yeah. I turned him into my grandson."
Lin Jingjing lay on her bed, feeling especially happy. This kind of satisfying victory was what made gaming fun.
Just then, the opponent sent her a friend request. Lin Jingjing glanced at the message.
[Another round.]
Lin Jingjing raised an eyebrow. ’Not accepting the loss? Found someone else to help him get revenge?’
She clicked ’Accept,’ and the opponent immediately pulled her into a game lobby.
The opponent even turned on their mic.
"Grandpa my ass! Just you wait, I’m gonna beat you until *you’re* the grandson!"
The voice sounded quite young. ’Probably a minor,’ Lin Jingjing thought.
[But you just lost and became the grandson.]
When Guan Shan Nian saw that sentence, he smashed the cup in front of him on the floor. A robot detected the debris and immediately came over to start cleaning.
Lin Jingjing heard the sound of the cup shattering on the floor. It was a crisp sound.
’Looks like I pissed him off so much he’s started smashing things.’
Jian Xing watched his young master and chuckled helplessly.
’Such a bad temper, yet he still insists on provoking his opponents.’
"Let’s play a round."
[Fine.]
[If you guys lose, don’t forget to call me Grandpa.]
"Like hell we will! Where are you on Capital Star? You got the guts for a real-life fight?!" Guan Shan Nian yelled.
’Oh, so he’s from Capital Star.’
[Maybe in a few days. Even in a real-life fight, you’re no match for me. You’ll still have to call me Grandpa when it’s over.]
"Who do you think you are, Lin Jingjing? Saying we’re no match for you," Guan Shan Nian shouted angrily. "In real life, you’re just trash!"
Hearing her own name, Lin Jingjing was a bit surprised, as was her roommate.
Feng He turned to look at her, gesturing with his hands.
[How did you get so famous?]
Lin Jingjing shrugged, indicating that she had no idea.
The match began. It was limited mode again.
This time, Lin Jingjing changed her strategy. She reinforced her defenses and began farming gold to upgrade in a more systematic way.
The person she was facing now was a veteran. She needed to be more careful.
