Chapter 710: The Weak, The Strong
The melody suddenly became intense, followed by a rapid-fire montage of brilliant highlights!
Many viewers only then realized—weren't these Qin An's best moments?
These clips were taken from Qin An's daily streams, videos, and the spectacular kills from this tournament, now expertly edited together. Accompanied by the climax of the background music, the atmosphere in the livestream room was instantly pushed to its peak!
An ultra-long-range sniper kill.
A quick peek and burst fire.
Rolling to dodge bullets.
Lurking in the grass.
...Various firearms were presented one after another!
At the same time, the lyrics of the background song began to play.
"You will become the greatest person"
"You will become the strongest player"
"You can conquer the entire world"
"You can win every battle"
"Even speak with gods, reaching the peak of all deities"
"You can confidently raise your hands"
"You can fight against time"
"You can become the master of fate, without waiting for luck's favor"
"You can be called a hero"
"You can win the gold medal"
"You can break the records they thought were absolutely unbreakable"
"Fight for your dreams"
"Fight for honor"
"Fight for pride"
"Fight for your name"
"You never know how far you can go"
"One day, after giving it your all, you'll suddenly realize..."
"You're already at the top of the world"
"Your name will be known across the world"
"Because you are the brightest beam of light"
"Standing atop this peak of gods"
"Become the champion, become the king"
"Write your own myth with your flesh and blood"
The song gradually faded out, and the screen went black. But a series of subtitles began telling all the viewers Qin An's story.
[Don't think that the small have no power]
[Don't think that the humble have no dignity]
[The only difference between the weak and the strong lies in the firmness of their belief]
[Countless days and nights in the Cheater Server]
[Countless times landing and becoming a crate]
[Facing players with soft aimbots and AI enforcers with nothing but your own body]
[Relying on belief and hard work]
[Eventually carving a bloody path out of the Cheater Server]
[Reaching the peak of all gods]
[A mortal attaining immortality]
[After that, no one could stand against him]
After this video ended, the barrage comments were in chaos. The meaning of the video had clearly revealed Qin An's identity, and the viewers had all guessed it, but they couldn't believe it.
"What does this mean? It's saying Qin An has been playing on the Cheater Server all along?"
"He's been playing on the Cheater Server, landing and becoming a crate over and over, fighting against those soft-aimbot players and AI without cheating himself?"
"Really? I heard that even players with soft aimbots can't beat the AI on the Cheater Server. So how did he do it?"
"That's true skill. He trained himself into a human-shaped aimbot!"
"A mortal attaining immortality? That description is damn fitting!"
"For an ordinary person to reach the top of the Cheater Server—isn't that exactly a mortal attaining immortality?"
"Lord of the Immortal Realm, Qin An?"
"Lord Qin is mighty! Back when Lord Qin streamed on the Cheater Server, so many people didn't believe him. Now the officials have cleared his name, right?"
No wonder no one knew who this guy was—it was because he'd been on the Cheater Server all along!
No wonder Qin An's skills were so good. Playing on the Cheater Server against those soft-aimbot cheaters and AI—how could his skills not be top-notch?
It was like a player who had beaten I Wanna Be the Guy going back to play Super Mario—wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted?
At the competition venue.
Haimi stared blankly at this video.
So this was where Qin An's skills came from? From being tortured in the Cheater Server?
Haimi had entered the Cheater Server himself and knew how dangerous it was. Even with a soft aimbot, his best result was only around twentieth place.
Every enemy there had the ability to kill you. Everyone's aim was comparable to the so-called sharpshooters in high-tier matches. All the enemies there were extremely treacherous; one moment of carelessness and you'd be killed.
Compared to the normal servers, the Cheater Server was like a horror game, an endless cycle of suffering.
But Qin An had endured that suffering day after day and then fought his way out of the Cheater Server?
Haimi was completely convinced and also felt a deep sense of shame.
What did Qin An have? He was just a young man who came to the capital for his dream. He had no fame, only the daily torment of the Cheater Server, honing his skills.
But what about Haimi himself? He was a major streamer with a huge fanbase on the streaming platform, earning a lot of money. Yet for a bit of entertainment value, he had cheated, clinging to a fluke mentality...
Looking at the somewhat shy Qin An, Haimi suddenly realized something.
As a streamer, it seemed he had forgotten his former dreams, forgotten the ambition of his younger self who once fantasized about standing at the top of the world. He had talent but no drive, only thinking about how to use streaming to make more money and gain more vanity...
Haimi looked at the heavy medal in his hand. The words "Rampaging Chicken God" on it stung him.
This title didn't belong to him; it belonged to Qin An.
After his livestream room was banned, Haimi had felt regret, complained, and even wondered if he was just unlucky or if Chen Mo was too strict.
But at this moment, Haimi seemed to have suddenly awakened to something.
Just like the title of the video: "The Weak."
Yes, everyone is weak, but as long as they have a firm will, one day they will become strong.
The power gained through one's own efforts is one's true power.
...
Chen Mo said, "Here, I want to apologize to Qin An. Previously, I encountered him once on the Cheater Server, and I mistakenly thought he was an AI, which misled many players. I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify: the 'AI' I met on the Cheater Server back then was Qin An."
"Additionally, because Qin An's account involved private account trading, according to official account regulations, we will permanently ban this account."
Hearing this, Qin An was startled. What the hell? Why was his account being banned?
Chen Mo smiled and continued, "However, we will issue Qin An a brand-new account that will inherit all the data from his previous account. Moreover, this account will have a special whitelist function, allowing him to freely switch between the normal servers and the Cheater Server to play."
"Furthermore, the four players who won this championship will all receive exclusive jackets and special markers in the game as permanent personal honors."
"Thunder Game will also cooperate with Touch Fish Streaming Platform to give Qin An a special certification, namely 'Thunder Game Certified Streamer,' as recognition of his achievements on the Cheater Server."
"Once again, thank you all, viewers, for your support of Thunder Game, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and this streamer tournament. Next, I'll hand the stage over to Zhang Yang. Do you all want to hear Qin An say a few words?"
Chen Mo handed the microphone to Zhang Yang and turned to walk offstage.
At this moment, the entire stage belonged to Qin An, and the eyes of all the players were focused on him!
