Hugo rolled his shoulders and stretched his fingers dramatically. "Alright, Celine. One last ga. Winner takes all."
He wasn't even the least bit scared of this ga.
If Celine could pose a challenge to him, she would have already done so in the last 3 matches.
Instead, he was already calculating evilly the crazy dress he would make her wear to their next date.
Celine, sitting cross-legged on the arcade stool, smirked. "You think you can defeat easily, don't you? I guess it's ti for to get a little serious."
Hugo almost sneered at her shocking shalessness. She was acting way too smug for soone who just got obliterated in three previous gas!
But fine, if she wanted to pretend she still had a shot at victory, he'd play along.
They both turned toward the screen, where "DEATH ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE EXTRE EDITION" flashed in bold red letters.
It was a two-player co-op shooter, where they had to fight off waves of zombies together, but the ga also had a secret competitive ranking system that judged players based on headshots, accuracy, and kill count.
In the end, the one with the higher score was the true winner!
Celine picked up the bright pink plastic gun. "You sure you're ready for this? I have sniper instincts."
Hugo grabbed his neon blue gun, spinning it in his hand like a cowboy. He flashed her his most smug grin.
"Sniper instincts, huh? That's cute. I have god-tier reflexes and the hand-eye coordination of a war veteran."
Celine narrowed her eyes playfully. "Talk all you want, but let's see if your boor reflexes can keep up."
Hugo nearly choked. "BOOR?! I'm twenty-one!"
Celine shrugged. "That's, like, ancient in gaming years."
Hugo almost smacked her with the pistol there and then.
If he didn't absolutely crush her soul in this ga, he might never recover from the sheer disrespect she just threw at him!
The ga began.
ROUND ONE – BEGIN!
The screen darkened, showing a creepy, abandoned town.
The first few zombies shambled out from the shadows, moaning as they dragged their rotten limbs toward Hugo and Celine.
Celine aid. BAM! A perfect headshot sent a zombie flying backward.
Hugo raised an eyebrow. "Oh? That was clean."
Celine blew on her gun like it was a real weapon. "Told you. Sniper instincts."
Hugo smirked and pulled the trigger five tis in half a second. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM!
Five zombies dropped instantly, all headshots!
Celine gawked. "What the hell was that?!"
Hugo yawned dramatically. "Oh, sorry, was I supposed to let you catch up?"
Celine glared. "Alright, you wanna play like that? Let's go."
ROUND TWO – ZOMBIE SPEED INCREASED!
The zombies were now faster, aner, and ca in larger hordes. Celine gritted her teeth and rapid-fired at them, keeping her accuracy high.
But Hugo?
Hugo was playing like a possessed demon!
His gun clicked nonstop as he weaved through the chaos, headshot after headshot, his score climbing at a ridiculous rate.
Celine glanced at the scoreboard and nearly dropped her gun. "HOW are you already at 10,000 points?!"
Hugo smiled at Celine. She was kinda cute. She still hadn't realized she was facing an unstoppable gaming monster!
"You seeing this, Celine?" Hugo said, pointing at the screen. "This is what raw talent looks like."
Raw talent and dozens of mastery points!
Celine groaned and doubled her speed, pulling off so insane quick-scope headshots like she was in a first-person shooter tournant.
Although Hugo wasn't giving his absolute best against Celine since he didn't need to, he was beginning to regret it because she was catching up fast!
Very fast!
FINAL ROUND – BOSS FIGHT!
Suddenly, the screen shook violently, and the final boss erged—a mutated zombie king, towering over the battlefield with a grotesque, pulsating body.
Hugo and Celine both leaned forward, gripping their guns tightly.
This was it—the final showdown!
The boss roared and charged, summoning waves of smaller zombies.
Celine imdiately started picking them off while dodging attacks. "Don't ss up now, boor!"
Hugo gritted his teeth. "STOP CALLING THAT!"
He unleashed a hailstorm of bullets, dodging the boss's attacks like he was Neo from The Matrix.
Every ti Celine landed a good shot, Hugo followed up with a perfectly tid critical hit, keeping the pressure on.
The boss's health bar dropped lower and lower…
80%...
50%...
20%...
They were neck and neck in score.
Celine was catching up!
Hugo brows furrowed tightly. His gaze was as solemn as an old general's!
There was no way in hell he was going to let her snatch a victory now!
10%…
5%…
Then, just as the boss let out one final rage attack, Hugo did sothing insane!
He switched to his left hand, aid at two different weak spots at once, and fired.
CRITICAL DOUBLE HEADSHOT!
The boss scread and exploded, the screen flashing with a massive "PLAYER 1 VICTORY!!!"
Hugo threw his arms up. "LET'S GO!!!"
Celine, staring at the final score, slumped back in her seat.
Hugo – 75,000 points.
Celine – 74,980 points.
A twenty-point difference.
Celine covered her face with her hands. "ARE YOU KIDDING ?!"
Hugo burst into laughter. "I BARELY won! That was so close!"
Celine smacked his arm. "This is rigged. I demand a rematch!"
Hugo wiped a fake tear from his eye. "Ahhh, it's okay, Celine. You fought well. For a noob."
Celine pointed her gun at him. "Say that again and I will pistol-whip you."
Hugo smiled at her. She wasn't completely right about the rigging, but she wasn't too wrong either.
Afterall, Master Points was literally cheating the system.
If she did that, he might actually deserve it, but still, a win was a win.
Then, before Celine could complain more, Hugo smirked. "Alright, a bet's a bet."
Celine groaned. "Oh god. What now?"
Hugo leaned in, grinning like a devil. "Next ti we hang out, I get to choose your outfit."
Celine blinked. "…What kind of outfit?"
Hugo wiggled his eyebrows. "Sothing bold."
If course, he wouldn't tell her now. Where was the fun in that?
Celine stared at him for a mont. Then, to his shock, she suddenly smirked. "Fine. But if I win next ti, you're wearing whatever I pick."
Hugo gulped slightly. He couldn't afford to lose to thus witch. It could backfire horribly. But he had already set his trap, and there was no backing out now.
"Deal," he said confidently, shaking her hand.
Celine glanced at him sideways. "You do realize you just started a war, right?"
Hugo laughed. "Oh, I know. And I'm gonna win that too."
Celine cracked her knuckles. "We'll see about that."
