Annie was shocked beyond words, her mouth agape as she looked at the devastated ground.
“The… the problem is solved?” After being stunned for a while, she couldn’t help but ask Brandon.
“What do you think?” Brandon asked back.
It was as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
They had just killed their two opponents. It should be time to collect the spoils of war.
Annie looked at his back and felt a little dejected.
“What the hell!”
“If this is how you play, I won’t be able to contribute at all!”
As a competitive girl, Annie wanted to contribute in the two-player mode, especially in front of Brandon.
But…
From the beginning when they first encountered the rainforest python, to the Grey Marsh, and finally to now.
She used all of her abilities, yet she was still no match for Brandon.
Her dejected mood did not last long, Annie quickly regained her fighting spirit. She raised her fist and waved it at Brandon’s back.
“Just you wait!”
“I will definitely let you know how useful I am!”
With that, she chased after Brandon.
Meanwhile, Brandon had already started to check the spoils of war.

This rocket launcher was the same as his. Brandon lost interest after looking at it for a while.
However, that sniper rifle gave him a surprise.

Brandon was pleasantly surprised!
A purple-quality sniper rifle?!
Dead on the first hit?!
Just like the previous game, once a piece of equipment reached purple quality, it would have a special effect, and it would be very powerful.
The sniper rifle was no exception. In fact, its effect was very strong!
But it suited the sniper rifle very well!
After all, sniper rifles were meant to kill in one shot!
However…
Brandon was suddenly at a loss.
His SSS-class talent, unlimited firepower, had a great effect on sniper rifles. But out of all the weapons he had found so far, the rocket launcher was the most suitable for him.
The characteristics of the rocket launcher were something he couldn’t bear to give up.
It wasn’t realistic to carry two weapons.
What should he do?
Just as Brandon was at a loss, he caught a glimpse of his teammate walking over from the corner of his eye, and an idea flashed through his mind.
That’s right!
Even if I can’t carry two guns, I still have a teammate!
I could just let her carry one for me!
After making up his mind, Brandon waved at Annie. Seeing this, Annie also walked over curiously. “What’s wrong?”
Brandon said calmly, “There’s a purple-quality sniper rifle here. I think it’ll suit you. Take it.”
“Purple-quality?!”
Annie was shocked as well. However, she quickly shook her head and said, “You take it. I don’t like sniper rifles. Sniper rifles aren’t very useful in this rainforest map anyway.”
An expected answer.
However, Brandon did not give up. He said with a serious expression, “Do you think this is child’s play? This is an escape game!”
“Only with good equipment can you have a chance of winning!”
“Besides, if you find a related skill later, won’t the sniper rifle become useful?”
“Since there is a sniper rifle in the escape game, it must come in useful at some point!”
Annie was rendered speechless by Brandon’s righteous speech.
That’s right!
This was an escape game, a battlefield where life was at stake!
It was not child’s play!
If she were to choose a weapon based on her preferences, only to be eliminated early or disadvantage her teammate, then she would be to blame for their loss!
Annie could not help but feel ashamed in her heart.
She had just said that she wanted to prove her worth in front of Brandon. If she could not even bear this little thing, what value would there be?
Thinking of this, Annie’s face turned serious and she declared, “You’re right. Give me the sniper rifle. I will use it to the best of my ability!”
Seeing this, Brandon nodded his head in satisfaction.
In fact, his real thought was to let Annie be a human backpack.
However, he definitely could not say this in front of Annie, or she’d feel disgusted.
It would be best to trick her into taking it on her own accord.
After achieving his goal, Brandon continued to flip through the items.
The normal consumables were not useful to him. He had just bombarded his opponents with a barrage of attacks. Both his armor and his HP were not damaged at all.
Naturally, he did not need consumables.
He only replaced the ones he had with higher-quality ones.
Right now, all he wanted was a skill book!
The next second!
Brandon’s actions of rummaging through the book instantly froze, and his eyes revealed a look of surprise.
[
Skill: Thermal vision
Quality: Blue
Effect: When this skill is used, life forms (other players and wild monsters) within a 50-yard radius will be displayed in the field of vision
[Hint: Only life forms will be displayed, and you will not be able to see the terrain and other things outside your normal field of vision, even if it’s within 50 yards. ]
Cooldown: 0s
]
[Do you wish to learn (only effective in this game)?]
[Yes] [No]
What a coincidence!
He was just saying that his unlimited firepower and rocket launchers were already perfect, but he lacked ways to find other players.
He didn’t expect to find a skill tailored for that purpose so quickly!
Brandon was excited, and he didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately learned the skill.
[You have learned ‘thermal vision’!]
The system voice in his mind had just sounded when a red figure appeared in the upper half of Brandon’s field of vision. It seemed to be floating in the air.
But Brandon knew it was a wild monster!
Judging from its shape, it looked humanoid and had a long tail. It was probably an ape-type monster.
However, it was huge and at least five meters tall.
It seemed to be floating in the air because ‘thermal vision’ allowed him to see life forms up to 50 yards away, but he couldn’t see that far normally in this rainforest.
So, he could only see the monster, not the terrain around it, making it look like it was floating in the air.
“What skill did you learn?” Annie asked from the side.
She had also seen the skill book, but she did not move. This was the person that Brandon had killed. All the loot should belong to Brandon. She would only take some of the loot if Brandon said she could.
This was only fair, and it was also a matter of trust between teammates!
Annie was very clear about this.
“Good stuff!”
Brandon did not directly answer, but Annie also nodded to show that she understood.
