Dai Xiaomei's bedroom.
Wearing a tight-fitting leather outfit, Dai Xiaomei, with a beaming smile, opened her live stream camera.
"Brothers, I've missed you all dearly since we last met."
"You all know what we're playing today."
When it came to *Titanfall* and which streamer it didn't bother, Dai Xiaomei was definitely at the forefront.
It was strange, others would get dizzy from 3D or VR, but she, of all things, got motion sickness from mechs.
While others were having a blast piloting the BT-7274, Dai Xiaomei would get disoriented after just two minutes.
So, throughout June, she was streaming other VR games from different studios, not capitalizing on *Titanfall*'s popularity, and consequently, not getting hurt by it either.
Thus, on this important day, while other streamers were either still adjusting to PC gaming or were still immersed in grief and hadn't moved on,
Dai Xiaomei had already put on her makeup and was showing off her ample assets in the live stream.
With no competition, her viewership naturally increased significantly.
"The old woman has truly become a workhorse. Sister Zhou next door has taken a month off to rest and recuperate."
"Tight leather pants, I'm Dai Xiaomei, remember that."
"With such modest assets, she dares to wear tight pants, isn't she afraid of showing off poverty?"
"Xin Jiwei, drink more papaya juice, not boba milk tea. Look at how malnourished you look."
...
The viewers' "enthusiasm" was as usual. Accustomed to this, Dai Xiaomei merely feigned anger, raising her little fists in a show of ferocity.
"Everyone is already very familiar with *Call of Duty*. Back then, I felt as long as Lingjing wasn't foolish, they would definitely release a sequel to capitalize on the hype."
As Dai Xiaomei spoke, she opened the Lingjing Game Platform. "I didn't expect them to keep it in development for so long. It made people think they had forgotten this incredibly popular title."
"You all said I, Xia Ji'er, was wrong. Apologize, apologize!"
With her hands on her hips, Dai Xiaomei finally felt a sense of vindication today.
The live stream chat was instantly flooded with countless "Tsk, little trash" comments, infuriating Dai Xiaomei.
After the program effect was complete, *Call of Duty: Causality* had also finished downloading.
"No more chatter, let's get straight to the point."
With that, Dai Xiaomei directly entered the game.
The screen flashed, and the familiar satellite projection view zoomed in from afar, followed by the narration:
"I have good news. This world is safe and sound."
The deep, light voice belonged to a man named Gates, who seemed to be talking to someone: "A civil war has broken out in country E, with government forces clashing with extreme nationalists. Fifteen thousand nuclear warheads are in imminent danger."
Captain Price: "Just another day at the office."
Well, Price, that's typical of you.
The audience and Dai Xiaomei shared the same thought.
"Khalid Al-Asad, currently the second most powerful man in the Middle East, rumored to be the one with the most oil in the region. Intelligence agencies are keeping a close eye on him."
A portrait of a stern-looking black man wearing sunglasses appeared on the right side of the screen.
Price asked, "What's the bad news?"
"A rookie, just picked from the recruitment pool today, has joined us. His name is Soap."
"Soap?"
This question was from Dai Xiaomei. "Captain Makarov only just enlisted... the timeline before Ghost's death?"
Her voice was filled with anticipation: "Will I meet Ghost when he joins Task Force 141? *Slurp*~~"
Drool was escaping, a bit too much.
The viewers in front of the screen covered their faces with a wry smile. "Old woman, control yourself. As your viewer, I'm so embarrassed."
"My apologies, my apologies."
"Let's focus on the game, focus on the game."
Dai Xiaomei quickly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, her fair cheeks flushing.
[NEW RECRUIT REPORT
DAY 1 - 06:30:12
CREIDENHILL, COUNTRY Y
[SOAP] SERGEANT MACMILLAN
22ND SPECIAL AIR SERVICE REGIMENT]
The familiar emerald green prompt, the familiar time and location to assume a role, Dai Xiaomei instantly got into the groove.
"Good to see you, lad. Grab a rifle from the table."
Gates, wearing a baseball cap, walked over. Dai Xiaomei, playing "Soap," raised her hands and flipped them around, looking shocked: "I'm playing Soap?"
"This guy really is the protagonist. No wonder he looked so cool when I saw him on the mountain mission."
After saying that, Dai Xiaomei skillfully picked up the gun. Gates hadn't finished speaking, and she had already hit all her targets.
"Very good, lad."
Gates was momentarily stunned and praised her.
"Now, retrieve your personal weapon from the armory."
"Attack the watermelon with a knife..."
*Pow!*
Dai Xiaomei smashed the watermelon with a single shot, splattering red juice everywhere.
"Nice!"
"Your fruit-cutting skills are excellent!"
Then, Gates pointed his finger. "Captain Price wants to see you."
With her experience from the previous game, Dai Xiaomei was very familiar with all the rookie missions, and as for Price, she knew him inside and out.
However, to accommodate new players who hadn't played or seen *Call of Duty* before, Dai Xiaomei patiently explained:
"For those who haven't played the previous installment, don't think this game is very easy just because I was so casual with the shooting just now. In reality, the recoil of the guns here is even higher than in PUBG, it's very realistic."
"Newcomers, I don't recommend learning from me. You must diligently practice basic skills like hip-fire and tap-firing. You all know the importance of beginner skills in games produced by the Old Master, right?"
"Also, regarding the story background of this installment, it takes place before the betrayal and murder of Ghost, during the time when Soap, or our Old Mac, just enlisted. Country E is in the midst of a civil war, and that dark-skinned man should be an important character in the plot."
With that, Dai Xiaomei pushed open the training room door, preparing to follow the direction Gates indicated to find Price.
As she pushed the door open, blinding sunlight met her eyes. As her vision adjusted,
Covered in yellow sand, Dai Xiaomei's eyes lit up. Remembering their past camaraderie, she exclaimed excitedly:
"Long time no see, you old bastard!"
