Picking Up Fragments in PUBG

Xiao Rong’s expression changed drastically as he realized the opponent had chosen to go all-in! He had no choice but to abandon his teammates, opting not to engage in a shootout and instead turning to run downhill. Just as he ran down the slope, the last teammate, Xiao Hai, was also taken down. Xiao Rong crouched behind a rock at the bottom of the slope, and the situation became extremely perilous. What was once a four-versus-three fight had now turned into a one-versus-three. Moreover, the opponent had already pinpointed his position and was advancing with overwhelming force. Xiao Rong’s face showed bitterness, but he still chose to make one last stand. He pulled a grenade from his waist, removed the safety pin, and waited quietly. However, as soon as Jiang Siming heard the sound of the pin being pulled, he immediately switched to the frying pan at his waist. From behind the rock, a grenade was thrown out. Instead of running away, Jiang Siming charged toward the grenade. He then leapt into the air and swung the frying pan at the grenade. Clang! The frying pan struck the grenade, sending it flying back to its original path. The returning grenade exploded right above Xiao Rong’s head, wiping out OMG completely! 4AM secured back-to-back victories!

Many OMG fans couldn’t believe it — the match had ended so quickly. This was the fully intact OMG team! Previously, OMG had always lost to 4AM, but fans had used the excuse that Xiaorong had not rejoined the team, so it didn’t count as a proper loss. But now, they had no excuses left. Last year’s world champions had been utterly crushed by the new world champions! There was hardly any intense back-and-forth in the match. In the end, Xiaorong was still taken down by Jiang Siming with an acrobatic move. This feeling forced OMG fans to confront reality — the old world champion was truly inferior to the new world champion. But they accepted the defeat willingly, without making any excuses. In esports, being "bad" is the original sin, and strength is king. Victory is victory — there’s no need for so many excuses.

All four OMG members were killed by Jiang Siming. Not only did he collect two fragment pieces, but the final chicken dinner also granted him a blue fragment.

"Collected [Advanced Swimming] red fragment x1 (4/5), the fragment count is not full, so it cannot be used yet."

"Collected [Bandit’s Intuition] white fragment x1 (3/3), the fragment count is full and can be used immediately."

"Collected [Body Strengthening Pill x1 box] blue fragment x1 (1/1), the fragment count is full and can be used immediately."

**[Body Strengthening Pill]:** Slightly enhances the body’s overall physical constitution, with an improvement equivalent to the average result of a year of training for an ordinary person.

After the match ended, the points for all the teams were tallied.

**NO.1, [4AM] Points: 115**

**NO.3, [17] Points: 46**

After just three matches, 4AM’s points had already left the competition far behind, nearly doubling the score of the second-place team, OMG.

After the match, there was an interview segment. For the first two matches, Jiang Siming had let Weishen and Xingsu do the interviews. But for this match, the officials deliberately stirred up some drama by arranging for Qianyi to conduct the interview. Naturally, Qianyi only wanted to interview Jiang Siming, and Jiang Siming had no reason to refuse.

Standing at the interview stage, Jiang Siming and Qianyi stood side by side, giving off the feeling of a perfect match. Below the stage, Weishen and the 17 team members started causing a ruckus, loudly chanting "be together," which quickly caught on with the entire audience. Qianyi’s pretty face blushed bright red.

Meanwhile, backstage, an old man with white hair and a Tang-style robe squinted as he watched Jiang Siming on stage.

"It seems the young lady is truly interested in this man. However, the master will never agree to it. Sigh~ It looks like the young lady is going to be heartbroken for a while."

The old man let out a sigh, quietly turned around, and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Siming glanced back toward the backstage area with a puzzled expression. He had sensed a faint fluctuation of internal energy from backstage. He activated his spiritual sense to scan the entire arena, and he easily located the man, who was hiding in a dark corner of the venue. Many people had passed by him, but none of them had noticed his presence.

But Jiang Siming detected him effortlessly because the man was using internal energy from martial arts, whereas Jiang Siming was using the true energy (zhenqi) of cultivation. The difference between the two was like night and day, completely on different levels.

However, Jiang Siming realized that the man seemed to harbor no ill intent. His demeanor showed no signs of mischief, so he was probably not there to cause trouble. Judging by his actions, he looked more like a bodyguard.

As for who he was protecting, Jiang Siming could easily guess. From the moment Qianyi had lavishly gifted one billion yuan in presents the night before, he had known that this girl was definitely no ordinary person.

It seems she comes from some prestigious family; otherwise, it would be impossible for her to have such a powerful internal martial arts expert by her side. Principal Wang also has someone like this by his side, but they are far inferior to this person. Since the other party had no malicious intent, Jiang Siming couldn’t be bothered to deal with him. He left a trace of mental energy to lock onto the man, allowing him to detect the man’s every move clearly.

The old man had no idea he had already been discovered. He just felt that something was a bit off, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was. The scene shifted back to the interview table.

Qian Yi held up the microphone, smiling sweetly as she asked Jiang Siming, "God Ming, how does it feel to secure two consecutive wins?"

The interview had to proceed as usual. Jiang Siming took the microphone and calmly replied, "No feeling at all, it’s as simple as drinking water."

Hahaha. The audience burst into laughter. As expected, God Ming was indeed God Ming — his interview style was completely different from everyone else’s. While others remain modest and polite, he does not. But that’s exactly what people love to hear. When bold words come from someone with true strength, they are seen as ambitious declarations rather than arrogant boasting.

Qian Yi also laughed twice before continuing, "You faced a full-strength OMG in the final match. How do you rate their strength?"

This question was a bit tricky. Everyone thought Jiang Siming wouldn’t go too far since OMG also had many fans. "Overall, they’re decent. The fully-formed OMG doesn’t have any weaknesses," Jiang Siming replied.

Everyone was momentarily stunned. Oh? He’s being modest now? But Jiang Siming’s next sentence left them all speechless.

"Of course, they don’t have any strengths either." Pfft! The audience burst into laughter. Listen to that — is that even human speech?

"Alright, that concludes our interview session. See you at the next match!" Qian Yi, worried that a few more questions might stir up more trouble for Jiang Siming, hurriedly ended the interview early, playing the role of a "protective wife fanatic."

After all, it’s just an interview. If she wanted to talk to God Ming, she could always do so backstage. There was no need to do it in front of everyone, especially when she wouldn’t be able to say anything nice. After the match, 4AM and 17 dined together again, and Jiang Siming also invited Qian Yi to join them. Explore more stories with

Everyone enjoyed a pleasant dinner before parting ways. Jiang Siming initially planned to send Qian Yi home. However, the old man who had appeared in the arena earlier suddenly appeared in front of him and Qian Yi.

Upon seeing the old man, Qian Yi blushed with embarrassment and said to Jiang Siming, "My family is here to pick me up, so I have to go."

Jiang Siming nodded, having already guessed that the old man was someone from Qian Yi’s side, and it turned out he was right.

"Alright, stay safe on the way home. Send me a message when you arrive to let me know you’re safe," Jiang Siming said, harboring no ulterior motives.

Qian Yi nodded, a hint of reluctance in her eyes as she followed the white-haired old man. Before leaving, the white-haired old man glanced at Jiang Siming several times. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes as he realized he couldn’t see through this young man. In the end, he left with no further discoveries and followed Qian Yi away.

Watching the old man’s back, Jiang Siming revealed a subtle, barely noticeable smile. He had fully sensed the old man’s intentions just now, but their difference in realm was too vast, so the old man could only walk away empty-handed. It seems there are still hidden experts in this world. But he couldn’t help but wonder — with his current strength, where would he rank among these so-called "experts"... China has always been a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It’s no surprise that there are masters in the shadows.
