Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 147: Goodbye, Baby

The mont these words were spoken, the live chat erupted in astonishnt!

“Holy crap! It’s actually him!”

“I know this big shot. I’ve seen his record videos before.”

“The one who throws grenades at his own feet and rocket jumps off, right?”

“The crazy part is he’s running on fifth gear pain mode.”

“Wait, seriously?”

“Yeah, for real. He even showed it at the start of his video.”

“My verdict: pure mad dog.”

“Adrenaline fueled by intense pain, makes sense.”

“Back in the day, it was the Pilot himself competing; now it’s Power Father playing on his behalf.”

“This dude is ridiculous.”

“Seriously impressive. Piāo Teacher, check out his moves...”

In APEX, when a player is killed, they can watch the killer’s first-person perspective.

That includes the killer’s operation UI and everything else, all clearly visible.

Following the viewers’ suggestion, Piāo Teacher nodded:

“Alright, let’s take a look. Damn, this guy’s operation is really fierce.”

“Since it’s almost the final circle, we might as well watch for a bit.”

Piāo Teacher said this while greeting Tuanzi and Old Ma, then requested a ten-minute halfti break.

At the sa ti, he switched the death screen to Octane’s first-person view.

But barely had the screen switched when Piāo Teacher let out a startled shout!

“Damn! Is this for real?”

“Twenty-six kills?”

“Man, I’m telling you, I want to whack him with a waterlon banana hamr!!!”

Indeed!

As Octane’s first-person view appeared, his UI’s top right corner clearly displayed his kill count—26!

Even more shocking to the audience, the huge screen at the valley’s end showed Octane’s portrait, with three golden characters beneath it reading [Kill Leader]!

“Holy crap...”

The crowd was buzzing with excitent!

“Pure lone wolf with 26 kills!”

“No way, this is insane!”

“In a match of 60 players, this guy killed nearly half?”

“Even Cooper would say ‘aweso’ after seeing this.”

“HAHAHAHAHA...”

“Seriously, could it be that this legend is broken?”

“Definitely broken. Needle straight to fifth gear start, plus launch pads, his mobility is maxed out.”

“This guy’s aim is insane too. Two quick revolver shots mid-air with Little Helper and he instantly kills Piāo Teacher. Normal people can’t do that.”

“Exactly...”

As they spoke, Octane injected himself with another adrenaline shot, leaving a green shadow trailing behind him. The Power Kid dashed toward the final circle with a ridiculous running posture.

Swoosh—

A slide tackle, and Octane crashed loudly into a big rock on the hillside, stopping himself.

Glancing at the UI, he saw five teams left on the field, but the remaining player count was now a question mark.

Octane knew that when the number of survivors drops to single digits, the remaining player count is hidden.

Nine players, five teams.

Minus himself, eight players, four teams.

At least two teams aren’t full squads.

If he picks the right mont, he still has a chance to claim the crown and earn the [Defender] title.

With that thought, Octane pulled out the triple heavy sniper rifle he had looted from Piāo Teacher’s squad, equipped a 4x scope, and peeked out from behind the rock to observe the battlefield.

Strangely enough, since the current ring started shrinking, the normally gunfire-filled Kings Canyon suddenly fell silent.

Like a sudden stop of a raging wind, like a downpour abruptly ceasing.

The battlefield’s sudden silence was almost unsettling.

All viewers held their breath.

Because everyone knew this calm was just the calm before the storm.

At this point, those making it into the final circle all had so serious skills.

Either tactical brilliance, outstanding marksmanship, or deep-rooted cunning that allowed them to survive in such a fast-paced competitive ga.

Five teams, nine people, each like players in a blind brawl ga.

Waiting for the opponent to make a sound, then striking with a lethal blow.

Top left, the countdown for the fourth ring was about to end.

3...2...1...

Fifth ring appears!

Right in the residential area below the hillside!

Boom!

Suddenly!

A gunshot echoed across the battlefield on the east hillside!

A knockdown notification instantly popped up in everyone’s UI!

Then!

The storm ca crashing!

In the blink of an eye, gunfire roared across Kings Canyon!

The eastern squad struck first, rushing out from cover. Bangalore’s smoke grenade skill created a vision blind spot, blocking sightlines from the residential area. Then Pathfinder deployed a zipline, shooting straight into the residential zone!

However!

Their plan was interrupted by a sudden squad attack from the southeast!

Bloodhound’s scanning pulse instantly revealed the squad hidden in the smoke, and with a ferocious howl, “The Allfather grants sight!”

Bloodhound’s red eyes pierced through the haze, leading his teammates charging straight into the smoke!

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat—

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The gunfire exploded inside the smoke as the two squads clashed fiercely in the chaotic fog!

But just as their battle intensified!

Suddenly, a signal grenade flashed red as it arced through the air, landing in the smoke.

Then!

A rumbling roar like thunder rolled!

Looking up!

Firefall missiles descended from the sky!

Gibraltar’s ultimate created a brutal bombardnt zone, like an impenetrable net, instantly engulfing both squads!

The overwhelming bombardnt turned the already cramped safe zone into a bombing area!

Smoke billowed, stray bullets flew!

Legends unleashed their unique skills, joining the fray!

Wraith phase-walked around the battlefield, ghostlike, opening portals, wielding an R99 submachine gun with unmatched agility, coming and going seven tis!

Mirage deceived enemies with illusions, blurring reality and fake, dazzling with multiple holographic clones, wielding an EVA-8 shotgun to create chaos and invisible kills!

Caustic joined the fight, setting traps, spreading toxic gas, launching his ultimate Nox Gas Grenade, combining with a flathrower heavy machine gun to dominate amidst the swirling poison smoke!

The chaotic battle was thrilling!

The brutal killing sent blood racing!

Bangalore’s missile bombardnt shook the heavens!

Lifeline’s healing shield showed masterful kindness!

Valkyrie took flight, diving from the skies!

Of course!

There was also that green figure!

“wooooo—hooooo—!!!”

Octane scread excitedly!

The green adrenaline surged through his body, doubling his energy, igniting his spirit!

His power prosthetic foot pressed the launch pad, the green figure arced through the air, bouncing twice like a skipping stone, instantly plunging into the battlefield!

Bang! Crack!

Bang! Crack!

At close range, the Peacekeeper shotgun’s power was imnse!

Two quick shots, and Lifeline, who was supporting teammates, beca a death box!

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat—!!!

A hail of bullets ca from behind; Power Kid’s red armor nearly exploded!

But he remained calm, quick-eyed and fast-handed, opening Lifeline’s death box to swap armor instantly, then turned and sprayed a burst!

Bang!

Bloodhound, attempting a sneaky kill, was severely wounded on the spot and collapsed!

Octane didn’t linger in battle!

Seeing Bloodhound’s teammates rush over, he slid and jumped, running toward the residential area below the hill!

But Bloodhound’s Pathfinder teammate had no intention of letting him escape!

With a crack, the grappling hook embedded in the ground, Pathfinder pulled himself forward and caught up with Octane in a few bounds!

Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat—

VK-47 Flatline rifle fire roared behind Octane, breaking his armor!

Octane fired back, blasting Pathfinder’s armor!

The two chased each other like dogs after a rabbit!

But in the next mont!

Just as Pathfinder reloaded, ready to finish Octane off!

Octane slid and jumped, suddenly shifting his body, then kicked off the residential wall ahead, soaring into the air and in a blink landed behind Pathfinder!

Wall kick jump!

Though not difficult to perform in the motion-sensing pod,

this creative and imaginative movent shocked Pathfinder!

He never expected Octane, cornered and desperate, to escape in such a bizarre posture and instantly reverse offense and defense!

Position swap!

“Ah?”

Boom!!!

Before Pathfinder’s surprised voice could finish on the team mic, the shotgun barked!

At this mont!

Octane’s kill count had reached a staggering 29!

Only two survivors remained on the field!

Octane had no ti to think further, opened Pathfinder’s death box, and swapped to his armor!

But at that mont!

Shhh—!!!

The sound of rocket propulsion ca from the other side of the wall!

A silver-haired woman with a rocket pack, like a falcon, soared into the sky!

Their eyes t!

Octane felt this mont was eerily familiar!

Back when he was a Pilot on Typhon Star during the Tianlong Star war, he had seen a similar scene!

Only then, the godlike figure looming over him was the ga’s toughest Titan—Viper.

And the next second!

As if reliving the scene!

The silver-haired woman floating in the sky pushed the joystick!

Shhh shhh shhh shhh—!!!

Countless missiles blasted from the rocket pack behind her, targeting Octane with a fierce barrage!

Octane cursed under his breath and threw down a launch pad, stomping hard and leaping high!

At this mont!

Countless viewers’ mouths slowly dropped open, as if caught in a ti dilation trap.

Cluster missiles exploded at Octane’s feet.

Raging flas soared upward, licking toward him.

Octane pulled back the bolt of the heavy sniper rifle recently looted from Pathfinder!

Click—clack—

The last heavy bullet slid into the chamber of the Kraber airdrop sniper rifle.

Leaping through the air, Octane twisted his body and raised the heavy sniper:

“Goodbye, baby...”

Click!

Trigger pulled!

Bang—!!!

The shot thundered through Kings Canyon!

The bullet trail dragged a terrifying air current, penetrating the silver-haired woman’s forehead and exiting the back of her head!

The death box dropped from the sky and hit the ground with a muffled thud.

Boom.

Then!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

Fireworks suddenly exploded in Kings Canyon!

A glowing notification appeared in Octane’s HUD and on all viewers’ screens!

[You have beco—Defender]

The next second! The whole venue erupted!

“Ohhhhhhhhh—!!!”

“Damn!!! So cool!!!”

“One needle! King’s pull!”

“I feel your heat! That last coback was seriously amazing! Damn!”

“So flashy! So flashy! Power Kid himself competing!”

“30 kills chicken dinner! Blood horse fierce!”

“Too damn ridiculous! I seriously suspect this guy injected adrenaline into himself!”

“Drug test! Must do a drug test!”

“The results are in, no urine in the stimulant!”

“HAHAHAHAHAHA hilarious!”

“Shocked! Totally shocked!”

“Brothers! Sothing big happened! Guess what I found!!!”

While the crowd was still excitedly discussing Octane’s shot,

a high-level bullet comnt suddenly appeared on the screen!

“I found Octane’s live stream! On the overseas rival platform Twitch! Search [APEX-Octane] and you’ll find it!”

Buzz—!!!

This caused an uproar in the live chat!

In this world, China was one of the strongest superpowers globally, and with a mature rating system, there weren’t many online restrictions.

So Piāo Teacher had little trouble opening the so-called ‘rat platform’—the Arican Twitch streaming platform.

No need to search!

Click the Twitch APEX category!

At the top sat [APEX-Octane]!

Power Kid—no, Power Father!

At this mont!

Octane’s live stream was also a boiling pot of excitent, foreigners all shouting in amazent!

“Unbelievable!”

“Terrifying shot!”

“This is freaking unreal!”

“At that mont, God held his hand!”

“Unparalleled performance!”

“Defender with 30 kills, this guy might set records in APEX too!”

“If there’s a league for APEX in the future, you’ve got to join!”

“...”

At this mont!

Players worldwide were all captivated by that shot!

Piāo Teacher was generous, praising the brother’s skill, then imdiately sent a $2,000 tip!

As for Octane, the shot’s creator, he was overwheld with emotion, almost crying inside the motion-sensing pod!

“Oh—my god, my god, my god—”

“Can’t believe it... I actually did it...”

“Thank you, thank you all for the tips, really appreciate it,”

“This is... uh... my first ti trying streaming...”

“Uh... and thank you everyone for watching my stream...”

The rookie strear Octane was excited and nervous, his voice trembling:

“I honestly didn’t expect to succeed this ti, and of course my opponents deserve respect too,”

“Yes, I’m the one who set records in TTF before,”

“And today... I... uh... also dared to start streaming,”

“Because APEX really attracted ,”

“Also... uh...”

“Also... uh...”

He hesitated.

Octane paused, seeming very conflicted:

“To be honest, I wasn’t ready to et everyone yet,”

“Before streaming started, I made a bet with myself,”

“If I could get 30 kills and take the Defender title, I’d open the motion pod and et everyone as this ,”

“And now, I did it,”

“So... so everyone...”

“Please... don’t be too shocked...”

“I...”

At this mont!

A hiss!

The Yiyou X2 motion-sensing pod, thed with Titanfall, slowly opened its door.

Under the curious gaze of countless viewers!

The holder of the TTF parkour world record, the first player worldwide to achieve 30 kills Defender in APEX—Octane himself—

Appeared in the live stream.
