Chapter 25

【K.O.!】

【Full Phoenix WIN!】

【PERFECT!!】

Once again, two exclamation marks appeared.

Joint’s body flew far away from the Bung-ta that triggered ‘Strike’.

With a performance that seemed like he would become a star in the sky, the winner of this match was decided.

“…!”

The viewers’ chat stopped for a moment.

Each of them must be shaking their pupils mercilessly beyond their monitor screens.

The dust scattering over the fallen Briar seemed to mimic that movement.

【’Gwanjong Cheonma’ has achieved victory.】

【’Gwanjong Cheonma’s rank is rising.】

【’Beginner Rank’ 》 ‘Second Rank’】

【Congratulations on your promotion!】

Only after the victory confirmation message appeared did the tightly closed chat window open wide.

-Ooooooooooooh!!

-Insane! Is this real! Did he really win?

-Oi oi! Gwanjong Cheonma! You actually did it?

-Is he a god Gwanjong Cheonma? Is he a god Gwanjong Cheonma? Is he a god Gwanjong Cheonma? Is he a god Gwanjong Cheonma?

-Mom I want to become Gwanjong Cheonma! Mom I want to become Gwanjong Cheonma! Mom I want to become Gwanjong Cheonma!

-Mom: That’s impossible, dear.

-Mom: Go get reborn to a different mom

-You know what? They say when you see insane plays you get short-term memory loss!

-You know what? They say when you see insane plays you get short-term memory loss!

-You know what? They say when you see insane plays you get short-term memory loss!

-A Beginner Rank broke Joint! And with ‘Iron Fist Seven’ too!!!

-It wasn’t just a win. The ending was perfect lol

-Wow. But what was that at the end? Why didn’t the taunt work?

-The replay is out. What, there was a bit of distance?

-When did he step back? I thought he was caught for sure.

-Did Joint make a mistake?

-Yeah yeah he was cornered so maybe

-Perfect victory lololol Gwanjeol probably experienced the biggest humiliation of his life today???

-Watching this live stream today is an honor for my entire family ㄹㅇ I’ve witnessed the biggest upset of my lifetime!

-Ugh! What about my mission money ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I can’t believe they actually won

-My pockets got emptied too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Let’s grab a drink! We got to see something good.

-Perfect aside, didn’t he never guard once from the start? He just dodged everything.

-For real. He didn’t even block basic jabs and stuff, just ducked his upper body. His reflexes are insane level;;

“Ugh….”

Joint struggled to lift his closed eyes.

When the match ended, a popup asking ‘Would you like to request a rematch?’ came into view.

“….”

Joint gave a bitter smile.

‘Not doing it. Fuck.’

Even if he played one more time, the result would be the same anyway.

In the final round, Joint finally felt it.

The ‘wall’ that only those with exceptional talent can show.

An overwhelming gap in talent that extinguished even his desire for revenge.

“…Right. I remember.”

It was because of guys like that that I quit my pro career.

There was no need to feel bad about it now.

Instead of recalling the pain of defeat, it was time to fulfill his duty as a host.

Whoosh.

Joint, who had exited the character select screen, shouted with all his might.

“The winner of this ‘Break the Joint’ is! Gwanjong Cheonmaaaa!”

-Ssssssssssssssss

-Gwanjong! Gwanjong! Gwanjong! Gwanjong! Gwanjong! Gwanjong!

-It was worth watching live! Gwanjong Cheonma was insane!

-I can feel the wall from Gwanjong Cheonma.. perfect god wall king wall..!!

-Please, just put down that burden now, oppa.. the burden of being so cool ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Hahahaha who falls for something like “Iron Fist Seven” these days

-Hello. I’m ‘Who’.

Joint and Gwanjong Cheonma stood side by side in the waiting room.

Since it was before character selection, Hae-rang was in default custom attire.

“Gwanjong Cheonma! Congratulations!”

“….”

“Gwanjong Cheonma?”

Joint tilted his head.

What a strange guy.

Sometimes at random moments he trembles and bows his waist.

Joint had no way of knowing why he did that.

“Do you… have any chronic illness?”

“No. I’m fine now. Thank you for congratulating me. And…”

“?”

“Now that you’re speaking formally to me, it feels even stranger. Please speak casually like before. I heard you’re older than me anyway.”

“Haha. Sh-should I?”

Joint scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

Was it because he acknowledged his opponent?

All the feelings of inferiority, revenge, and competitiveness that had settled throughout his body disappeared,

leaving only a sense of ‘relief.’

“I thought you were something special since Street Fighting, but you really are a genius.”

“Heh… Thank you.”

“First, give your thoughts to the viewers!”

Hae-rang’s gaze turned to the chat window.

Sometimes they gave him information.

Sometimes they offered sincere advice and counsel.

And most importantly, they praised his skills.

They were the most precious people to Hae-rang.

“This victory is entirely thanks to the viewers. Thank you.”

-That sounds pretty grand (sniff)

-Anyone would think he won an international tournament or something?

-Still, it’s heartwarming and nice. As expected, when you’re handsome, everything sounds plausible.

-We’re grateful that you said that!

-Forget the formalities and hurry up and collect the money!

-Oh right! My safe assets ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

“Collect money?”

At Hae-rang’s question, Joint stepped in instead of the viewers.

“Hey now! People! You’re all so impatient! Do I look like someone who would run off with money?”

After saying that, he received a message from his manager.

“Listen up! The winner Gwanjong Cheonma will receive the ‘Break the Joint’ championship prize money of one million won!”

-Oh. That’s pretty decent for a small tournament

-One million won daily wage, not bad?

-Didn’t you say you couldn’t afford weights before? Now you can live your best life version lol

-How does it feel, Joint? You always held tournaments and ate the prize money yourself hehe

-Forget the appetizer, let’s go to the main dish!

At one viewer’s comment, Joint made a fuss again.

“Hey now! Why are you all so impatient? Do you think calculations happen that fast? It’s individual missions, so people have to calculate manually!”

-Damn, you must have made a lot of money, install some automatic calculation algorithm on your broadcast

-Always making me wait ㅡㅡ

-So how much is it? So how much is it? So how much is it? So how much is it? So how much is it? So how much is it? So how much is it?

-How much is our Gwanjong making!

“I’ll let you know when the calculation is done. Just wait a moment!”

After briefly calming the viewers, Joint asked a personal question.

“About that ‘Do-seom’ you were going to use at the end.”

“Yes.”

“I always look at my opponent’s feet before using Taunt. The range of Taunt is surprisingly short. Before using the skill, you were definitely within Taunt’s range.”

“That’s right.”

“But when I used Taunt, I noticed you had somehow moved away. Was I mistaken?”

“No.”

Hae-rang shook his head with a calm expression.

“I saw the skill and stepped back. Back Step.”

“So you saw me taking the Taunt stance and backed away?”

“Yes.”

Joint swallowed hard.

The words he couldn’t immediately spit out due to shock were said by the viewers instead.

-Crazy, that doesn’t make sense, is that even possible?

-You saw and dodged? Taunt? It activates the moment your shoulder twitches?

-It just works though? (Gwanjong Cheonma)

-Hahahahaha well, since you always show insane plays, it’s strangely convincing

-This person gets strikes with Bungtaro. Let’s just trust and worship them ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Joint shrugged one shoulder as if telling him to look at the chat window.

“Yeah. I thought so. But hearing it directly from you is still absurd.”

“If I hadn’t pushed my reaction speed to the limit, I would have been caught.”

“Let me ask you one last thing. If you were cornered against the wall and I used Taunt, what would you have done? You can’t use Back Step in that situation.”

After thinking for a moment, Hae-rang soon gave his answer.

“Then I would have thrown a Light Punch when your shoulder flinched. That would be easier to react with too.”

“So, you chose Back Step instead of Light Punch to deal more damage?”

“Yes.”

“Kuk kuk kuk.”

Joint shook his head as if completely defeated.

“Even in that situation, you thought of a way to counterattack harder. I’m completely beaten.”

Joint glanced at the upper right corner.

Then his eyes widened slightly.

It was because of the amount the Manager had whispered to him.

“Everyone! The final tally is complete! The Victory Mission Amount you all bet! Now we reveal it!”

-Woohooooo! The time has come!

Damn it ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I really didn’t think they’d actually win!

-But I have no regrets! Take all my money, Gwanjong Cheonma!

-Everyone’s mission amounts are exploding!

“The Victory Mission Amount for this Break the Joint is… five million five hundred twenty thousand won!”

The one most shocked by those words was none other than Gwanjong Cheonma himself.

“Fi… five million won?”

So.

He earned five million won from the broadcast he just showed?

Not only did they send praise, but they poured money on him too?

-Holy shit, it went over five million?

-Isn’t this the highest amount ever? lololololololol

-Even after fees, that’s a month’s salary right there?

-If you include the winner’s prize money, you’ll actually take home over 400 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Congratulations Gwanjong Cheonma!

-This is the Public Service Advertising Council. ‘Think carefully when placing missions.’

-Mission money? Why is that your money? FEAT. Gwanjong Cheonma

-Take all my money, Gwanjong Cheonma!

Hae-rang was dazed.

Having been in this world for quite some time, he understood the value that money represented.

While praise alone was enough for Hae-rang himself, in this era they said ‘money’ was sincerity itself.

‘Just from showing a simple game, to this extent.’

Of course, Hae-rang’s performance was more than just a simple game, but it was an unexpected reaction nonetheless.

Hae-rang briefly closed his eyes and recalled his previous life.

That moment when tens of thousands of believers gathered in one space, raising their voices to call out his name.

Tremble.

Though he couldn’t hear the viewers’ voices, their hearts were enough to make Hae-rang’s heart pound.

“I’ll send the prize money and Victory Mission Amount today. Leave your account info before logging out.”

“Yes. I will.”

“Now everyone! Did you enjoy today’s ‘Break the Joint’? Please show lots of interest in the next ‘Break the Joint’ too!”

The tournament ended, and the modest award ceremony concluded as well.

The viewers were also preparing to leave the broadcast, each shouting their farewells.

Just then,

【S Da-hong S has donated 1,000,000 won!】

【To Gwanjong Cheonma: Tsk. You’re so impatient. Wait a bit. I have something to say.】

One million won.

And it wasn’t even a mission that required completing a task, but a donation.

The amount alone was enough to surprise people, but

what made the viewers gasp was something else entirely.

-Da-hong? Could it be the Da-hong I know?

-It is, damn it. The golden S Decoration. It’s the real Da-hong!

-How did such an esteemed person come to this humble place… *bowing repeatedly*

-Wow! Is it really the real Da-hong? Seeing a Trend natural monument here!

-Looks like the joint seizure button got pressed lololololol A banned word actually came in as a viewer.

-For real, Voldemort has appeared in reality!

“Voldemort?”

Hae-rang turned his head with a confused expression.

There was Joint, his face turned deathly pale.

“Who is that person that’s causing this kind of reaction?”

“No wonder.”

Joint made a grinding sound with his teeth.

Then with a boiling voice, he revealed her identity.

“Da-hong is Singularity.”
