The first update,

...

"Looks like we have a few more people on our side. Do you want us to even out the numbers... That would make things more fair since the numbers would be equal!"

Ai Nan seemed quite generous, actively offering to add people to Qin Fang's side.

"No need, just the six of us is fine..."

Qin Fang waved his hand, and the others also shook their heads.

How could they let Ai Nan's people join their team? Wouldn't that just expose them directly under Ai Nan's surveillance? There's no point in playing if they might be wrapped up like dumplings before even spotting the enemy.

"Alright then! How about the stakes, ten?"

Ai Nan naturally had no objections. His side had a slight advantage in numbers and strength, and with the rules of the contest, he could win even more.

Such a betting game isn't merely a simple contest; it includes additional stakes like money, valuables, or even women, which is quite normal.

Ai Nan actually wanted to gamble on women with Qin Fang, so he could win back Chu Yunxuan. However, he knew that was impossible, so he settled for the simplest type of betting game.

Ten meant one hundred thousand; for these military scions, it wasn't a huge amount, but it wasn't small either. After all, their family members were military officers. Unlike local governments, military resources weren't as readily available, and they didn't earn quite as much money, which naturally made money tight.

"Sure, ten it is then!!"

Qin Fang was indifferent, as this amount of money wasn't significant for him, and he immediately agreed with a nod.

"Qin Fang..."

It was Li Yang who couldn't help but speak up, reminding Qin Fang, "Ten is per person, not the total..."

"Oh, no problems... doesn't that mean we're at a big advantage?"

Qin Fang was slightly stunned, then chuckled again.

This type of contest betting game usually has two sets of rules, one where you subtract the remaining number of people from each side and win that amount, and another based on per capita, where killing one counts as one, obviously calculated by the side with more people.

Ai Nan and his group were playing by the per capita rule, with each kill counting as one. With nine people on their side, annihilating Qin Fang's six would net them nine hundred thousand, with each person taking home one hundred thousand.

Conversely, Qin Fang's side of six, if they were to annihilate Ai Nan's entire team, would also win nine hundred thousand, with each person earning one hundred and fifty thousand.

Having more people has its advantages, and having fewer people has its own advantages as well.

Generally, if a team of experts forms, they hope to eliminate more of the enemy with as few people as possible... that's how to earn the most money.

"Since there are no problems, let's go get changed and equipped..."

Seeing that Qin Fang did not hesitate after Li Yang's comment, Ai Nan knew Qin Fang was an easy mark. His smile grew brighter as he immediately sent both sides off to change clothes.

In fact, starting from the change of attire, both parties will head to their designated areas. The start of the contest will be indicated by a flare from the gun barrel, and the exchange of fire will follow.

That is to say, from the moment they leave, they are truly standing in the role of the opponent.

"Young Master Ai, you should be careful! Brother Li is a master, third in the whole military region..."

Qin Fang appeared very confident, and just before leaving, he courteously reminded Ai Nan, flaunting Li Yang's gunmanship skills.

However, his words had hardly left his mouth when quite a few faces changed to a strange expression, including Li Yang himself. He pursed his lips as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately he didn't say it in front of so many people.

"Heh, Brother Li is definitely our key target. How could we overlook him! Good luck to you..."

Ai Nan was very calm, shook hands with Qin Fang, glanced indifferently at Li Yang, and then led his men to get changed.

"Brother Li, what's with your expression? It doesn't look right!"

Noticing Li Yang's unusual complexion, Qin Fang thought he was worried about the upcoming contest, so he couldn't resist asking.

Pfft~~

Before Li Yang could respond, Chu Yunxuan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "I know why... In that military region's competition, Ai Nan also participated. Brother Li got third, and Ai Nan... he was the champion!"

"Uh..."

Qin Fang was suddenly taken aback. Sucking up to someone and ending up flattery went right to the horse's hooves—it was indeed quite embarrassing.

"Humph, it's just Young Master Ai's dumb luck. Watch me blow his..."

Even though this fact was a bit demeaning for Li Yang, he still had to keep up appearances. He immediately expressed his confidence, even though he himself felt a little shaky inside.

"Heh heh, that's more like it, Brother Li! Don't worry, even if you don't do it, I've been planning to... ow!"

Qin Fang naturally echoed his sentiments, only the two men's back and forth of "do it to him" and "I'll do it" made Chu Yunxuan unable to watch any longer. The two men had fought together until dawn the night before; it wasn't right for Qin Fang to go after a man like that... not even just in words.

So, Chu Yunxuan twisted Qin Fang's waist fiercely, causing even him to wince in pain.

"The missus is angry... oh well, I can't win this! Let's go, time to change!"

Li Yang and Qiao Zhenfei both laughed loudly, watching the young couple's playful banter. It was hard not to laugh!

The two teams could take fifteen to twenty minutes to change, then another ten minutes to await orders at the target spot—meaning that the match would officially begin in half an hour.

The uniforms were all standard camouflage, but each person would wear an armband of red or blue on their arm, imitating the Red Army and Blue Army configuration of military exercises.

Both colors were quite visible and fair, preventing confusion of targets or friendly fire accidents.

Qin Fang and his men were the Red Army with red ribbons, while Ai Nan's side was the Blue Army with blue ribbons. Everything was prepared in advance, hassle-free.

Several men, including Qin Fang, quickly picked out the clothes that fit them best. There were also women's clothes there, and Chu Yunxuan didn't take much effort to change into a set of camouflage. Outfitted in that, accentuating her impressive figure, it made Qin Fang's heart race.

Uniform temptation comes in many forms. In last night's enchanting dream, Qin had seen nurse outfits, queen outfits, maid outfits, cat ear outfits, but the only one he hadn't seen was Chu Yunxuan herself in a military uniform, which left him slightly disappointed.

Now, however, it satisfied that yearning within Qin Fang, even though it wasn't a time for intimacy, and he had to be content with just looking...

"I'll wear it for you tonight..."

It turned out Chu Yunxuan knew Qin Fang all too well. Seeing his look and expression, she knew exactly what he was thinking and whispered shyly into his ear.

Qin Fang was, of course, thrilled and nodded eagerly, already looking forward to the night.

There was a wide array of paintball equipment and guns one could pick from, depending on personal preference. If you were strong enough, you could even carry a Gatling gun into the fray, although no one would stop you, that beast was heavy and more suitable for defending positions than a fast-paced simulation.

Of course, Qin Fang could handle the Gatling gun quite well by now, and using it wouldn't be much of an issue. His strength was more than adequate. But there was no need to do so; it wasn't a real battlefield, and using such heavy weaponry in a simulation would be overkill against Ai Nan and his crew.

That Gatling alone could spew out 3,000 bullets per minute. You wouldn't just squash the nine members of Ai Nan's team—multiply their number, and it wouldn't make much difference.

"Qin Fang, what gun are you going to use? How about this M4?"

Choosing a weapon was a crucial step and had to be considered carefully. Among this group, Qiao Zhenfei was the classy type who could wield a gun but didn't know much about various firearm features, so this task had to fall on the professionals.

Like Li Yang or Qiao Zhenfei's two bodyguards...

As for Chu Yunxuan, although she also had military status, she was a military doctor. Healing the wounded and saving lives was her duty, but using guns... that wasn't her strong suit.

The M4 is a common rifle and has become well-known, largely due to the popularity of a certain game from a few years back.

Qin Fang used to be quite fond of the M4, finding it exhilarating to use.

"No need, I'll use this..."

But this wasn't a simple game, and even though it was safe, it was still competitive. Using one's best weapon was the optimal choice.

Qin Fang turned down Li Yang's offer and picked out a rifle from the stack.

"A sniper rifle?"

Li Yang was instantly stunned, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked at the M24 sniper rifle in Qin Fang's hands, unable to hide his emotions.

The others, hearing this, were also startled and turned to look. Even Qiao Zhenfei wore a face of surprise, puzzled whether Qin Fang's statement was serious or not.

Sniper rifles aren't something just anyone can handle. They require great skill and a sense for guns, not to mention the strong recoil. An ordinary person would have a sore shoulder after being hit by it.

When Qin Fang first started practicing with sniper rifles, his shoulder felt almost broken... But by gritting his teeth and persevering, he became exceptionally good with the sniper rifle. His marksmanship wasn't far off from real snipers, and even more stable and terrifying when in use.(To be continued.
