Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 75: Zelin I'll Be Waiting for You by the Artificial Lake—Don't Leave Until We Meet! (3)


Can't expect that after he marries Xiaoyanzi, on their wedding night, he'd need me to follow them in as a martial arts instructor, right?

"Sweat!"

Lu Haoran felt a bit embarrassed.

Being just a little freshman, he's certainly not daring enough to make such a request.

"Listen, Haoran, you're a college student now, you need to stand on your own, you can't have me tagging along everywhere you go."

Su Zelin said earnestly, "Right now, I can accompany you, but in the future, if you plan to pursue Xiaoyanzi, are you going to bring me along as a third wheel on every date? You'll never get anywhere with her that way! Remember, Xiaoyanzi doesn't like guys with no sense of initiative!"

"Well... okay then!"

Lu Haoran felt a bit helpless.

In truth, his buddy had a point.

But it just felt more fun to hang out with him.

...

Another two days passed, and Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.

Everyone in 302 had dinner at a food street off-campus, and then marched grandly to a cyber café.

Su Zelin was part of the group.

Even though the dorm now had internet, going to a cyber café with everyone else had a unique charm.

The atmosphere was entirely different, full of passion.

Soon everyone found a computer, logged into CS.

This classic first-person shooter competition game was the pioneer of its genre and was all the rage back in 2000.

English broadcasts echoed continuously in the cyber café.

"Go go go!"

"Cover Me!"

"Fire in the hole!"

"You take the point!"

"Terrorist win!"

"..."

Now everyone in the dorm could play CS, and they all entered the game, set up teams, and soon started the online battle.

Then everyone noticed one thing.

Today, Su Zelin was wild and aggressive!

Rogue was excellent at playing almost every game.

Whether it was arcade fighting games like King of Fighters, Street Fighter, or Samurai Shodown, side-scrolling games like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Knights of Valour, or computer-based RTS games like Red Alert and StarCraft, or future MOBA games like Honor of Kings and LOL, he could quickly grasp the essence and become an expert.

This was his special talent as a super genius, not excelling in just one area but proficient in all.

Take CS for example, his skill level was not only high but proficient with every weapon.

In this shooting game, each player might excel with different weapons.

Some are great with snipers but not necessarily with AKs, or vice versa, and few are good at throwing grenades; there's always some technical shortcoming.

But these issues didn't exist with Rogue.

His quickscoping skills were masterful, and AK charging was fearsome, even playing with a Desert Eagle was impressive, with frequent headshots.

The battleground was de-dust2, the most classic, frequently played Dust2.

At first, Su Zelin focused on sniping, and once he got the sniper rifle, he was unstoppable, single-handedly defending the gate.

Normally, Rogue's sniping was precise, but today, it was absurdly accurate, and nearly every shot hit the target.

As soon as someone from the other side appeared slightly at a distance through the gate gap, a loud "bang" usually finished them.

Facing such a ruthless killer, the opponents quickly backed off, and after a dozen rounds, they were too scared to come out, soon turning into a slaughter.

Rogue switched weapons, leading the team to charge, swapping between AK, MP5 submachine gun, XM1014 shotgun, AUG assault rifle, combined with the Desert Eagle, going on a rampage, even sneaking around to knife a few enemies, followed by taunting with spray paint.

The opponents' mentality shattered, not only being massacred but also humiliated after dying, their hearts filled with resentment, just short of crawling through the internet like Sadako for real-life PK.

If CS had hacks now, they would surely have thought the opponents were using wallhacks or aimbots.

After several waves of opponents, under Su Zelin's excellent leadership, everyone in 302 was unstoppable, thoroughly enjoying the thrill of crushing experts.

Zeng Kaiping was having a blast, having been overwhelmed when not on Su Zelin's team, and now getting to dominate the opposition, it was exhilarating!

"Third Brother, you were super brave today, with that form you could compete professionally!"

After swiftly finishing a round, Zeng Kaiping exclaimed merrily.

Beside him, Su Zelin didn't speak, and Zeng Kaiping was startled upon turning to look at him.

Rogue wore a gloomy expression for some reason, seemingly in a foul mood.

Apparently, it wasn't about being in form but about finding a punching bag.

But why was Third Brother in a bad mood, could it be that time of the month?

"Today was awesome, totally went berserk, didn't expect my skills to suddenly be this overpowered!"

Hu Xu was quite pleased.

"Cut it out, Lao Wu, don't get cocky, your skills are nothing special, it's all because of Zelin carrying!"

Hou Yongjin pointed out the key issue.

The rest seemed to have good records too, but only under Su Zelin's suppression.

Without Su Zelin, the few rookies were nothing.

"Third Brother really can handle any weapon, the headshot rate with just a Desert Eagle is terrifying!"

The young fresh face Cai Wensheng was genuinely impressed.

The Three Musketeers were all flattering, only Old Feng and the lively lad remained silent, both sitting beside Su Zelin and noticing his terrible mood.

Just then, Su Zelin's Nokia 8210 on the table rang, and looking down, he saw it was a local public phone booth number.

Using his left hand, he picked it up, pressed the answer key: "Hello?"

Just then, an enemy jumped out from a crevice.
