Chapter 137

During the testing period at Gonau Soft.

Hae-rang, who ranked first in the compatibility test, always scheduled his turn for last.

Some Singularities grumbled that he was “playing hero,”

while other Singularities suspected he was just oversleeping and arriving late.

‘No. That can’t be it.’

Da-hong and Ma Hyeon-bin, who had been carefully observing Hae-rang, knew that wasn’t the case.

When he appeared for testing, Hae-rang was far from fresh and clean.

Sometimes his hair was slightly damp, and sometimes he was catching his breath.

Hae-rang always appeared in the form of a warrior.

A warrior who had just finished intense combat on the battlefield.

The battlefield where he had been during the free time gained by scheduling his turn last was none other than

Iron Fist Nine.

“Ooh-ah!”

Hae-rang chose Full Phoenix in Iron Fist Nine as well.

In a way, it was a natural choice.

It was better to choose a familiar champion rather than learning a new one.

Even if the system changed, the ‘movements’ were already ingrained in his body.

“Ooh-ah!”

A thousand times a day.

During the testing period, Hae-rang continuously threw Bung-ta strikes.

After throwing a thousand Bung-ta strikes, he learned Iron Fist Nine’s system and new techniques.

A golden opportunity to use high-end capsules for free.

Kiiing!

Hae-rang used the Heavenly Demon Divine Art throughout all his practice sessions.

Naturally, he was completely exhausted at first.

He had never used the Heavenly Demon Divine Art like this in his current life.

Hae-rang gradually extended his maintenance time over the course of a week.

And he achieved satisfactory results.

What he brought back from America wasn’t just the first-place bonus.

* * *

“The upcoming National Team selection tournament. I’ll challenge it with Iron Fist Nine.”

Ten days of absence.

Hae-rang’s viewers must have felt a great thirst.

Perhaps that’s why.

Hae-rang came back with an incredible gift.

Challenging the National Team Selection Tournament.

The viewers were all feeling like they had just downed sparkling water in one shot.

-Keuuuuu! This is it!

-Killing my dopamine before the game even starts lol

-National team selection tournament ㄷㄷㄷㄷ can’t believe an attention seeker would say something like this on broadcast

-Gwanjong Cheonma wearing the Taegeuk Mark…just imagining it makes my heart swell…

-With his current visuals, wearing the National Team Uniform would be absolutely cool;;

-How long has it been since a regular streamer participated in the National Team Selection?

-If you make it to the national team, you’d really become nationwide famous ㄷㄷㄷ

-Yeah, even though the Iron Fist series is past its prime, the capsule cups are a different story

As the viewer said, Iron Fist wasn’t among the most popular top-tier games.

It was just one of the over ten events in the Capsule Cup.

However, due to the nature of international competitions, ‘Iron Fist in the Capsule Cup’ drew quite a bit of attention.

It felt like sports events that usually don’t get attention becoming highlighted through the Olympics.

-But when did you practice? You’ve been only playing Survival Ground for a while

-You must have been busy with testing in America

-Don’t tell me it was mental training?

“I made time here and there while testing in America. Thankfully, the staff members were very accommodating.”

-They were accommodating? Those guys?

-That’s strange. I heard all the GoNow Software staff there are complete trash?

-I heard they didn’t even give sleeping time and ran tests continuously

-Wasn’t it a really harsh situation?

At those words, Hae-rang’s eyes widened slightly.

Then after a moment.

He smiled faintly as if he understood something.

“No. I don’t know where you heard such stories, but the staff members did their best to support us. There was no unreasonable schedule.”

-Eh. Why are the stories different?

-Whose words are correct here?

-Hey! Of course our Gwanjong’s words are the truth!

-Yeah, it’s not like this is the first or second time those guys have been bullshitting.

The situation unfolding in Hae-rang’s mind became clear.

“What you mentioned earlier. That was all Singularity’s doing, wasn’t it?”

-Yes. They were complaining all over Instagram and their YouTube Channel, you know?

-They got paid so they couldn’t openly criticize, but they acted like it was such a difficult time lol

-So there were no problems during the testing process? That’s creepy;;

-These bastards were just muddying the waters lol lol lol lol lol

-Sigh…their performance was bad so they found fault with this and that?

-Anyway those bastards should have gone into politics instead of gaming

“Any project will have complaints, but at least I didn’t have any of that. You can trust my word.”

-Of course. That’s right. Absolutely!

-We only listen to Gwanjong-i’s words and no one else’s!

└This bastard is the same one who asked whose words were right just above

-Who is it? Who dared to doubt Gwanjong-i’s words?

The misunderstanding about the special training and staff.

After various words were exchanged regarding Gonau Soft,

the topic naturally shifted to the National Team selection.

-But why Iron Fist instead of Survival Ground?

-Right. Iron Fist Nine is your first time but you’re Conqueror in PUBG. Wouldn’t it be right to challenge for the National Team with PUBG?

“Survival Ground was naturally one of the candidates too. But I don’t know the international tournament maps well, and more than anything….”

Instead of words, Hae-rang raised both his fists.

Then he moved them around as if handling a steering wheel.

-Ah lol lol lol lol

-Right;;

-Driving is the problem

-We can’t get bio robots for international competitions ㅠㅠ

-Yeah, if you don’t know the map and can’t drive, it’s better to do it later

-Gwanjong Cheonma! You even rode a Mammoth, so why isn’t your driving improving?

-This is right. Rather than playing with risks, pure fighting might be better

-Right. If you’re the Heavenly Demon, you should be brawling to get the real taste!

Most of the Viewers understood Hae-rang’s choice.

Iron Fist Nine.

Regardless of what the event was, the fact that he was challenging for the national team made them excited.

-Gwanjong-nim. You’ll compete in the individual tournament for Iron Fist, right?

-He has no choice. The team tournament requires four people.

-Our attention-seeker is great in every way but doesn’t have many friends ㅠㅠ

-For voluntary loner Gwanjong-i, the number four is too big!

-Tsk. It would be so great if he could compete in both individual and team tournaments

“Yes. Currently I’m only considering the individual tournament.”

The individual tournament where only one person aims for the top position.

The team tournament where four people form a team to compete.

No matter how excellent one’s skills are, without ‘teammates’, participating in the team tournament is impossible.

-Looking at this, Singularity is completely corrupt

-For real, they monopolize everything among themselves

-They stick together and play favorites, so how can anyone form a team

-When it’s hard to even find one person, four people ㅋㅋㅋ They’re basically telling us not to participate

-Anyway, among people who gather together to do stuff, there aren’t many decent ones!

-Do your best Gwanjong-i Brother! Anyone can participate in the selection tournament, so you just need to do well on-site!

-This suddenly reminds me of “Break the Joints” lol Back when I used to wreck the Golden Dan with my beginner rank

-You’re not going to show up as beginner rank again this time, are you?

“Of course not. I’ve already reached black rank in America.”

The chat window stirred once again at the mention of black rank.

Anyone can challenge the National Team Selection Tournament, but they must achieve a minimum rank.

The standard rank is purple rank.

Considering that the rank tiers go purple rank-black rank-gold rank,

Hae-rang had already more than met the requirements.

-Reaching black rank in a week, probably only our Gwanjong-i could do that

-ㅋㅋㅋ I reached Conqueror in no time, so what’s the big deal about Obsidian!

He had made a plan, and that plan was proceeding steadily.

All that remained was to show gameplay that would satisfy the viewers.

Hae-rang pressed the ‘Ready’ button in Survival Ground.

“Gwanjong Cheonma’s Game Broadcast. Let’s start again.”

* * *

Thud thud thud thud thud thud!

Challenger and Conqueror.

The elite gamers were gathered inside the helicopter.

Being veterans, most users were wearing cool skins and accessories.

But among them, the most unique outfit was

the ‘All Chicken God Chicken’ skin that Hae-rang was wearing.

“Wow! That chicken comb is amazing.”

“Oh, this skin…? Could it be?”

“Are you Gwanjong Cheonma?”

The higher the tier, the more sensitive they are to ‘Achievement’.

He had set various records like Placement Match All Chicken and most kills,

and recently he was also appointed as an ambassador for ‘Survival Ground’.

Now there were many users who recognized Hae-rang even before the game started.

“Gwanjong Cheonma! I really enjoyed watching your videos! You look really cool in person! Could I ask for a photo?”

“Kuk.”

“Oh, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing. You can take it now.”

Hae-rang adjusted the chicken comb with his hand once before proceeding with the screenshot.

Wanting to leave evidence of a moment shared with someone.

It meant recognizing and praising the subject.

For Hae-rang, these were naturally pleasant times.

Hae-rang took commemorative photos with several users before getting off the helicopter.

And shortly after,

“We’re about to descend!”

With the NPC’s loud shout, the players finished preparing for descent.

As expected of experts, one might say.

The users who had been cheerful and laughing before starting the game now had the eyes of competitors as if nothing had happened.

Hae-rang also looked down below and waited for the timing.

But then,

Tingle.

A tingling sensation spreads across Hae-rang’s back.

Like static electricity created by vigorously rubbing a sweater, an uncomfortable and sharp feeling.

Hae-rang knows this sensation well.

He experienced it almost daily during the war.

He felt this same sensation when he recently encountered King-gularity.

‘Killing Intent.’

Once again, someone was targeting Hae-rang.

Hae-rang turned his head and stared in the direction where he felt the killing intent.

They avoided his gaze and pretended to look elsewhere, but they couldn’t hide their IDs.

【S Chan-ho S】

【S Young-chan S】

The ‘S’ marks attached to both sides of their names.

Following Ma Hyeon-bin, it was another moment of encountering Singularity.

‘Two of them this time.’

Given the tier, encountering Singularity wasn’t strange.

However, the ‘killing intent’ they were emitting wasn’t normal.

In solo ranked, everyone except yourself is an enemy.

There was no need to show such hostility toward one specific user.

‘Chan-ho and Young-chan. These are guys I didn’t see in America.’

Hae-rang nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly.

He seemed to understand where this killing intent originated from.

Hae-rang turned around and faced his entire body toward the two people.

Smirk.

Then he showed them a provocative smile.

Try it if you can.

That meaning was contained in Hae-rang’s lips.

“…!”

The two who initially flinched as if hit right on target soon wore murderous expressions.

He had noticed Hae-rang’s taunt.

Swoosh.

Hae-rang kept his gaze fixed on them as he leaned his body backward.

He slowly jumped from the helicopter as if performing a back tumbling.

“That bastard…!”

‘S Chan-ho S’ quickly jumped after Hae-rang.

Whether the taunt had worked.

Or whether he had planned to chase Hae-rang from the beginning was unknown.

What was certain was that a full-scale war had begun in ‘Survival Ground.’

Hae-rang and Singularity.

Since Hae-rang had entered the Conqueror tier, this match had become inevitable.

‘It’s similar.’

While falling upside down, Hae-rang recalled what happened in America.

It was the same situation back then.

Ten Singularities and one streamer.

Though anyone could see it was a disadvantageous situation, Hae-rang had managed to reach the top.

‘Survival Ground will be the same.’

Conqueror ranking 1st place.

It was the immediate goal Hae-rang had set along with the Iron Fist National Representative.

To achieve that goal, he had to put the Singularities before his eyes under his feet one by one.

Starting right now.

Whiriririk!

Hae-rang landed first with his characteristic landing technique.

Under his feet spread a white and cold snow field.

The name of the map was ‘Burkendi.’

It was a battlefield where interesting friends appeared from all directions.

The name of those friends was none other than polar bears.
