Chapter 3: Chicken tonight
982 Words
On the scene, only one enemy remained on the opposite side.
One enemy was down behind the stone, and another in front of the nearby tree.
"Move in, what are you waiting for? The zone will shrink soon!"
Number One didn't marvel at Chen Fei's amazing marksmanship and accurate grenade throws but issued an eager command.
He thought Chen Fei was either lucky or cheating. There was nothing to envy.
Number One and Number Three were already poised to advance, holding their rifles as they started to approach the hill.
Just as they revealed themselves, the last enemy's M4 opened fire!
Using the stone as cover, the enemy fired a burst and then ducked back.
Number One and Number Three were hit instantly, their health dropping as they lay down on the grass, too scared to move.
Chen Fei knew the enemy's position. Holding his Kar98k, he aimed from behind a tree, ready to shoot as soon as the enemy showed himself.
"Number Two, can you take the shot? Wait for me to heal up and I'll deal with him!" Number One yelled, frustrated.
Soon, the enemy seemed to realize their unfavorable position and decided to go all in.
He suddenly jumped out from behind the stone.
Being at a higher elevation, his jump made him linger in the air for a moment.
Chen Fei aimed through the scope and fired as the enemy leaped!
Boom!
"Good luck, eat chicken tonight!"
With a final headshot, Chen Fei ended the match, letting out a sigh of relief, feeling unprecedented satisfaction!
He had won the game thanks to his efforts!
"The instruction is completed, and you will receive 50,000 yuan!"
"Chicken Dinner Reward: Double the amount!"
Chen Fei remembered the instruction red envelope he had received in the game.
Immediately, his old phone vibrated with a notification from his bank showing an entry of 100,000 yuan!
He was ecstatic!
Chen Fei played a few more matches that night and managed to win another chicken dinner.
From this, he gleaned some insights.
The red envelopes in this game could only be seen by him and were randomly scattered across the map.
He could also obtain red envelopes by killing enemies.
Red envelopes were categorized as random red envelopes and instruction red envelopes.
Random red envelopes were often empty, and valuable items were rare. Instruction red envelopes appeared randomly and could only be opened by completing specific tasks, with a small chance of being empty.
By midnight, Chen Fei had earned 20,000 yuan and gained the ability of [Rifle Mastery].
He also obtained a small bottle of potion from a random red envelope, which he pocketed without much thought before heading back to his shared apartment.
The next day, Chen Fei woke up and found the small bottle of potion in his pocket.
"I remember this is called [Junior Soldier Strengthening Fluid]."
Not knowing its exact purpose, but assuming it wasn't harmful, he drank it out of curiosity.
Immediately, a warm current surged from his lower abdomen throughout his body, invigorating him and sharpening his senses. His limbs felt stronger than ever before!
"What a magical potion!"
Before he could dwell on this feeling, he realized he was about to be late for work.
As usual, Chen Fei went to the hotel to continue his job as a waiter.
After cleaning a few tables, he was approached by Yan Wenqiang, who had been slacking off in the restroom playing on his phone.
"Hey, go clean up those two tables over there," Yan Wenqiang ordered.
Chen Fei shook his head. "That's your section. Why don't you do it yourself since you're not busy?"
Yan Wenqiang, known for bullying his coworkers due to his muscular build, scowled. "What did you say? I told you to go, so you go!"
Chen Fei stood firm. "Do your work."
Enraged, Yan Wenqiang reached out and grabbed Chen Fei's shoulder.
The other waiters quickly backed away, not wanting to get involved. Usually, no one could withstand Yan Wenqiang's grip.
But today, Chen Fei felt no pain.
Surprised, he instinctively grabbed Yan Wenqiang's wrist, his grip powerful.
"What do you think you're doing? Want to fight me?" Yan Wenqiang's expression changed, realizing something was wrong. Chen Fei's grip was incredibly strong!
"Don't touch me with your dirty hands," Chen Fei said calmly, tightening his grip.
Yan Wenqiang's wrist throbbed in pain, his hand losing control. His face turned pale.
Chen Fei pulled Yan Wenqiang's hand off his shoulder effortlessly, his expression unchanging.
"Has this kid finally snapped? Standing up to Yan Wenqiang like that?"
The other waiters whispered, astonished at Chen Fei's sudden show of strength.
"Let go! You're hurting me!" Yan Wenqiang pleaded, his wrist turning purple, sweat forming on his forehead.
With a calm smile, Chen Fei said, "Beg me, and I might let you go."
Unable to bear the pain, Yan Wenqiang's legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground.
"I beg you, let me go! I won't bother you again, I swear!"
Satisfied, Chen Fei released him.
Usually bullied by Yan Wenqiang, it felt incredible to make him kneel and beg. This must be thanks to the [Junior Soldier Strengthening Fluid]!
The game’s red envelopes were truly amazing!
His future looked bright and full of promise!
"What's going on? Why aren't those tables cleaned?" The department manager arrived, seeing Yan Wenqiang kneeling and wailing.
The other waiters quickly explained.
The manager glanced at Chen Fei and smiled approvingly.
"Good job, Chen Fei. You're the team leader now. Keep these guys in line."
The manager knew Yan Wenqiang was a troublemaker but kept him due to staffing shortages. Now, with someone to check his behavior, things would be better.
However, Chen Fei declined.
Taking off his apron, he hung it up. "Manager, thank you, but I resign."
Everyone was stunned.
The manager looked at him in disbelief. "What? You’re quitting?"
