Chapter 22

Daejeon fighting game community, ‘Chair Shot’.

Since it’s Friday night when many streamers are active, there are many users and many posts.

The standards for making it to ‘Real-time Popular Posts’ are inevitably higher than usual.

But Gwanjong Cheonma accomplished that difficult task as if it were nothing.

[Real-time Popular Post #3: Are you guys watching ‘Break the Joint’? A beginner is crushing everyone?]

[Post: I wasn’t going to watch because it’s Iron Fist Seven, but suddenly this weird guy appeared.

He’s a newbie who just created his ID, but in his first match he beat a blue rank, then in the next match he crushed an orange rank too lololol

He’s fighting a golden rank right now, and if he wins just one more match, he’ll advance to the finals.

You guys should hurry and come watch too]

-Break the Joint? People still play that?

-A newbie? What’s his rank?

└Beginner rank.

└What? Beginner? Beginners are kids who’ve never fought a person before?

└Crazy, didn’t you see wrong? Beginners are basically like computers. No wait, they’d be weaker than low-level computers?

└Where are you pulling this low-grade trolling from? At least come up with some believable bullshit ㅡㅡ

└(Author) It’s real, you’ll know if you come and see?

-Came to watch. The character is Full Phoenix lololol smells musty

-I was wondering what Joint was up to lately, he’s still playing Iron Fist Seven? lololol Gwan-ha-da, Chu-jeol-ah.

-They say those who are drunk on past glory are as good as dead. Still can’t forget the days on the national team ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-I don’t really know, but what does it mean for a beginner to beat a golden rank?

-You know League of Legends? It’s like an Iron player doing better than a Challenger

└Ah. So it was just trolling. Thanks

└(OP) Have these kids been living their whole lives being fooled ㅡㅡ I’m serious

-Oh, he just landed a wall combo with ‘Bung-ta’. Did he get a smash?

-A smash? What beginner gets a smash? And with a big technique like ‘Bung-ta’?

-Wait! I think I’ve seen this ID somewhere. Where did I see it?

-Isn’t that the guy who played Zangief in a popular post before?

-Ah, this guy is that guy? lololololololol

-He’s the protagonist of that Street Fighting highlight video!

-Ah shit, that video that ended with ‘Everyone be happy ^^’ bullshit?

-Oh, I was bored anyway so this works out well. Going to watch.

A community post someone uploaded to ‘Chair Shot’.

Because of it, the corners of Joint’s mouth ascended to heaven.

The viewer count suddenly exploded to nearly double.

“Have we ever hit numbers like this during a live stream?”

When Joint asked his manager, the manager’s glasses moved left and right.

“Not recently. What do you mean recently. We haven’t had this happen in years, right?”

“Right? This is amazing.”

“It’s not just amazing, it’s super amazing. The viewers exploded after so long, how about a bonus?”

“Shut up and just find good editing points.”

“Ugh.”

Avoiding the glasses girl’s cold gaze, Joint focused on the chat window screen again.

-This broadcast is good at trolling. Did they get a fake beginner from somewhere?

-I came because I heard ‘Clapping Hands’ got his palms burst.

-I have a lot of grudges against that guy. I got hit by Health Clap 108 times in a promotion match and failed shit

-But what’s ‘Clapping Hands’ doing? Why is he just standing there?

-For real. The guy who does nothing but clap like crazy from the start, why is he like that?

Unable to approach boldly, just maintaining distance hesitantly.

Sweat trickles down the back of his neck.

There’s no way the machine human Jackie-8 would sweat.

This was the real sweat of the gamer ‘Clapping Hands’ being reflected.

-What are you doing, not going in!

-Is he hesitating because he’s scared of a beginner? lololol for real

-That bastard is making the Golden Pill sect lose all its face ㅡㅡ

-This is from the National Golden Rank Alliance. We don’t consider Clapping Hands a golden rank.

-Joint hyung, it’s been a while. But hyung, do you really need to make money like this? What national team member holds a tournament in ‘Iron Fist Seven’?

-Why is Clapping Hands frozen like that?

“Well….”

About to answer reflexively, Joint quickly shut his mouth.

If he explained the reason, even he would become a laughingstock.

‘I can’t possibly tell them.’

If you get hit once by Gwanjong Cheonma, your mind snaps to attention.

If you get hit twice, your will breaks.

If you get hit three times, you become soaked in fear.

‘Which bastard said capsule game impacts were like coffee shop vibration bell level.’

Joint ground his teeth.

He wanted to forcibly stuff that developer into a capsule and make them feel Gwanjong Cheonma’s Bung-ta.

If he told the viewers ‘getting hit by that guy hurts so much it breaks your fighting spirit’, all he’d get back would be cold mockery.

So Joint remained silent.

He could only express regret inwardly.

Toward Clapping Hands, who had come to feel the same ‘fear’ as himself.

‘The Tornado Driver already felt mind-breaking, but he got hit by that guy’s ‘Bung-ta’ three times as smashes….’

Probably.

From now on, Clapping Hands would foam at the mouth and convulse just hearing the ‘Ooh-ah!’ sound in his sleep.

Joint was the same.

After being hit by the ‘Tornado Driver’, every time he saw his beloved tornado potatoes, nausea would surge up.

-That bastard is bringing all the shame to golden ranks.

-Hurry up and fight! What are you doing!

-Why are they just staring at each other lolololol

-The famous feast has nothing to see.

Joint’s chat window is also shared with the participants.

The criticism pouring down on Park Su-son would be visible to his eyes.

Park Su-son had always enjoyed drawing aggro, but now the situation was completely different.

Before, he had received criticism and jeers while ‘winning’, but he had never suffered consecutive defeats like this.

“Tch…!”

Ever since the ‘Health Clap’ skill came into the world, ‘Park Su-son’ had been feeling more shitty than ever.

He pressed his lips tightly together and took a step forward.

If this ended without any exchanges between them, he would be eliminated for giving up 2 losses first.

‘It’s okay. I can do this.’

It didn’t matter even without something like ‘Health Clap’.

How much time had he invested in Iron Fist Seven?

At least up to orange rank was an achievement I built with my own hands.

If he just displayed his usual skills, there was no way he’d lose to a beginner rank.

“Here I come!”

Jackie-8 launched into a full offensive with a face twisted in frustration.

Drrrrrrr!

A drill attack with superior range.

Kwang!

A destructive upper bursting forth from heavy mechanical gloves!

Tu-tu-tu-tu!

Even a combo skill that pounded the opponent’s abdomen.

Even without Health Clap, Jackie-8’s character performance wasn’t bad.

However,

“Ugh…!”

Hot drops of sweat rose over Jackie-8’s cold body.

Sweat poured down from his face like rain.

His pupils shook as if an earthquake had struck, directed toward the enemy before him.

“You’re blocking… all of this?”

A handsome-faced man dressed in a red martial arts uniform.

Gwanjong Cheonma’s indifferent gaze pierced through Park Su-son’s entire body.

Then, as if he truly didn’t understand, he asked with an innocent face.

“Are you really?”

“What?”

“Are you really gold rank?”

“You… bastard?”

There was no malice in Hae-rang’s question.

He had simply asked because he was genuinely curious.

His innocent expression proved that.

But for the person facing him and the spectators watching, there was no greater impact.

-Hahahahahahaha look at this humiliation

-Are you really Golden Tier? With skills like that? Lmaooooooooo

-If you look closely, our Gwanjong is excellent at roundabout insults, isn’t he?

-Hahahaha Kwan-jeol got humiliated like that during street fighting too

-For real, you know it well lol you practiced grab commands right in front of people

-Agh! That bastard is disgracing gold rank!

Of course, the one reacting most intensely was the person who received the question.

It was Jackie-8.

“Don’t get cocky!”

Jackie-8 once again poured techniques onto Full Phoenix.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

But this time was the same.

Hae-rang blocked all of Jackie-8’s attacks without difficulty.

Basic attacks and normal skills, and even the mix-ups between mid and low attacks.

At this wall-like appearance, viewers who knew something about Iron Fist began to stir.

-Wow. He’s blocking that too.

-Isn’t that in the realm where you can’t react by sight?

-Low attack psychological warfare into mid punch. Even I, a red rank, would get hit by that;;

As a strange atmosphere grew in the chat window, a roar finally burst from Gwanjong Cheonma’s mouth.

“Ooh-ah!”

The game Iron Fist and duels in Murim were the same.

When you lose your composure and become impatient.

Or when you become afraid.

You unconsciously start overusing big techniques.

Your heart becomes urgent and you rely on luck rather than your own skills.

He had seen countless such people in Murim.

That’s why it was a familiar sight.

Blocking the opponent’s big technique and landing a ‘Bung-ta’.

Kwaaaaang!

“Kyahahak!”

【!】

An exclamation mark rose above Park Su-son’s head.

This time too, it received a ‘Smash’ judgment.

Park Su-son’s health bar, which had been without a scratch, lost a full third.

“Kuhuk… Kuk…!”

Gwanjong Cheonma approached Jackie-8, who was catching his breath.

Unexpected words flowed from his mouth.

“Qi deviation.”

“…Kehek… What?”

“It seems Park Su-son has fallen into qi deviation.”

“What… bullshit.”

Naturally, countless question marks shot up in the chat window as well.

-Qi deviation? What’s that? Something you eat?

-You know, that thing. In martial arts stories where you go berserk from pursuing strength too recklessly.

-Why is that coming up here?

-Why else? His ID is Gwanjong Cheonma. He’s doing concept roleplay.

-Hahahaha does he really think he’s the Heavenly Demon or something?

-Look at that serious expression. If that’s acting, then he’s a natural broadcasting genius lol

-You’re probably gonna look for the lunch special even at restaurants, aren’t you? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He even does the fist salute at the start. Pretty thorough, right?

Everyone was laughing and chattering.

But ‘Park Su-son’ alone couldn’t do the same.

The random comment aside, his body was trembling finely and he couldn’t move.

‘Damn. Is this a game? It’s an extreme experience.’

Every time he got hit by a Bung-ta, it felt like his organs were being pierced through.

What were the game developers thinking, delivering this kind of damage?

He’d already been hit by Bung-ta with Smash judgment more than three times.

The last Bung-ta he took was truly at a heart-breaking level.

“Uaaaah!”

Jackie-8 poured out techniques in a you-die-I-die fashion.

But both dying didn’t happen.

Only one side was dying.

Only ‘Park Su-son’ himself.

“Ooh-ah!”

Kwaaaaaaaang!!

【K.O.!】

【Full Phoenix WIN!】

【PERFECT!!】

Beginner rank Full Phoenix had defeated Gold rank Park Su-son.

Even the final round was a perfect victory without allowing a single hit of damage.

Gwanjong Cheonma approached Park Su-son, who had fallen to the ground flailing his limbs.

“Park Su-son’s techniques lack sharpness. Compared to Joint, who is the same Gold rank, the difference is severe.”

“Krrrrk…”

“Even compared to the Blue rank player I first fought, there’s hardly any difference. Your original skill wasn’t like this.”

“Kehek…”

“That change is probably due to ‘Health Clap’. From blindly spamming just one technique, you’ve lost even the skills you originally had.”

“It hurts… too much.”

“That’s what it means to have fallen into qi deviation. If you want more praise from others, I hope you escape from qi deviation and walk the righteous path.”

“Please stop… talking…”

【Notice: ‘Anti-Shock’ has been activated for ‘Park Su-son’s safety.】

【’Park Su-son’ has been disconnected.】

Anti-Shock occurred to protect the damaged gamer.

Already the second time in this tournament.

Naturally, it was an unprecedented event in ‘Break the Joint’ history.
