Essence CF: Crossing the Line of Fire in the Heart

Chapter 1: Taking on the Challenge (This Chapter is Free)

When the sound of an AWM rifle echoed through the entire black town, Tutu skillfully took out the first machine gunner on Rush A Avenue with a precise snipe. As a professional sniper, Tutu naturally knew that the first machine gunner was merely a bait to lure out the sniper, but he still killed him without hesitation. Although he switched to a knife and jumped to the right at top speed, he was still shot in the head by a machine gunner who had followed up with an AK. Tutu sighed heavily and flopped onto the sofa, muttering under his breath, "Still not fast enough!"

Jianbao, sitting beside him, laughed and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "It's okay, you've got me!" Tutu disdainfully curled his lips and forced out a "Die" through his teeth. Jianbao immediately burst into loud laughter, but it was abruptly cut off. While talking to Tutu, the A small alley they were defending suddenly got occupied, easily broken through by the enemy. Tutu wanted to mock Jianbao, but he quickly stood up and headed to the WC, knowing that if he didn't move, a storm was about to hit both him and Jianbao. If he ran, at least one of them might survive.

Sure enough, Team Leader rAn glared furiously in their direction and shouted at Jianbao, "This is not a drill! If you want to mess around, go play field battles!" Then he quickly turned back to face his screen.

rAn's anxiety was understandable. This CF 5v5 match was sponsored by the MoonCity Internet Cafe, and it was their first official competition—a virgin battle! If they botched this match, these five people wouldn't have any face left to show the cafe owner who was eagerly watching the game—Fei Ge.

Fei Ge loved CF obsessively, though his reaction speed and game sense at the age of thirty were not what they used to be. He could only entrust his obsession and love for CF to the young team he had recruited.

Today's match was arranged by Fei Ge, and the opponent was a team organized by his friend. During a dinner, Fei Ge had bragged non-stop about the team he sponsored, praising these five young players as gods among men in front of his friends. Naturally, some were unconvinced since many of Fei Ge's friends were also internet cafe owners. Just as he was speaking eloquently, someone interrupted.

"Since you're talking so enthusiastically, why don't we schedule a match?" The speaker was a woman named Li Mei.Her internet cafe is located less than 200 meters from Moon City, the Meiying Yiren Internet Cafe. As the saying goes, competitors are enemies, especially since these two cafes are so close to each other. Although both have been running peacefully for a long time, they are still secretly trying to outdo each other. Fei knew who was speaking without even raising his eyes, and immediately agreed to her request.

"Sister Mei, since I've accepted your challenge, shall we make a bet?" Fei said confidently to Li Mei.

"What do you want to bet?" Li Mei batted her eyes at Fei. Although Li Mei is past her thirties and heading toward forty, she still exudes charm.

After blocking countless electric shocks, Fei lewdly said to Li Mei, "If the match starts at 2 PM tomorrow, it'll be over by 4:45. If your team loses, then tonight…" Before Fei could finish, the crowd around them immediately let out a mock "oh!" Although Li Mei was seasoned, their collective teasing still caused her face to blush slightly.

"Damn, what are you all thinking! I'm just asking him to treat me and my team to dinner. You bunch of beasts!" Fei acted hurriedly as if explaining, still with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Fine! Even if Fei wants me to… I will go along with it, but you have to win the match! If your team loses, you pay for tonight's dinner and also bring me the foot bath water. Haha…" Li Mei's fiery personality came out; seeing Fei teasing her, she did the reverse. As the crowd cheered again, Fei's normally dark face turned somewhat purple. He knew Li Mei's temperament wasn't mild, but he didn't expect it to be this fiery this time. Moreover, Li Mei's husband had died in a car accident several years ago; serving a widow foot bath water would ruin Fei's reputation forever if word got out.

As Fei hesitated, he heard Li Mei's flirtatious laughter. "How come even a man like Fei has his timid moments?" He knew she was deliberately provoking him. Though this was an unfair bet, out of pride, Fei still jumped right into the trap he had set for himself.

"Alright! It's settled! The match is at 2 PM tomorrow, at Moon City." After saying this, Fei walked out of the restaurant like the wind.At this moment, Feige wished he could escape this place of trouble with Liu Xiang's speed.
