Chapter 26
“If it’s Singularity….”
Hae-rang also remembered hearing about them.
Heaven Beyond Heaven.
The beings who made Joint feel the wall and retire from active play,
the so-called geniuses born for capsule games.
One of them had appeared in ‘Break the Joint’.
【S Da-hong S donated 10,000 won!】
【To Gwanjong Cheonma: I really enjoyed watching. A beginner rank really won the championship?】
【S Da-hong S donated 10,000 won!】
【To Gwanjong Cheonma: Have you played Iron Fist before? Or is Iron Fist Seven your first?】
As if she didn’t want to share the chat window with regular viewers.
Da-hong kept donating whenever she had something to say.
-Wow! Look at her using the donation window like a chat!
Not just a thousand won but paying ten thousand won each to say whatever they want lol
-It doesn’t matter. With how much prize money she earns in a year, would ten thousand won even look like money to her?
-But is Joint okay? We were deliberately avoiding even mentioning the ‘Sing’ in Singularity.
-That’s what I’m saying ㅋㅋㅋㅋ For joints, singularity is like Voldemort-level stuff, but the person himself showed up?
-Uncle Joint! Say something!
-Exactly. This is so frustrating ㅡㅡ
Hae-rang glanced at Joint.
After the game ended, Joint had returned to his basic customization state.
His cheeks were trembling above the leather jacket he wore.
Hae-rang knew the name of that expression.
It was ‘inferiority complex’.
“Thank you for the praise, Da-hong.”
With the host Joint maintaining silence.
Hae-rang answered her directly.
“And I’ve never played other Iron Fist series games.”
【S Da-hong S donated 10,000 won!】
【To Gwanjong Cheonma: Oh. Really? So the only games you’ve played are Street Fighting and Iron Fist Seven?】
【S Da-hong S donated 10,000 won!】
【To Gwanjong Cheonma: Even when I first played capsule games, I wasn’t this good. Gwanjong Cheonma must be a genius :p】
Hae-rang suddenly bowed his head and trembled.
The chat window enjoyed the moment on his behalf.
-Wow!
-A genius recognized by Singularity! A genius recognized by a genius!
-Bow your head. You’re just a commoner who was active when I wasn’t around.
-Crazy! Someone quickly write a post on Chair Shot. Da-hong appeared and praised Gwanjong Cheonma!
-But why did Da-hong show up here? Isn’t it Underwatch World Championship period right now?
-I guess you came to watch after the game ended. You actually got a good show though ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
【S Da-hong S donated 10,000 won!】
【To Gwanjong Cheonma: First, could you accept my friend request? I’ve been waiting.】
At those words, Hae-rang’s manager, Choi Gang-sik, opened his eyes wide.
‘Friend request? Those snobbish guys?’
Geniuses only associate with other geniuses.
That was Singularity’s unspoken policy.
Far from sending friend requests to other users, they often rejected requests from major streamers.
In that sense, Da-hong’s statement was quite shocking.
The problem was that Hae-rang had no idea of its true meaning.
“Ah. Yes.”
-Ah yes? Yesssss?
-Did you eat a hundred calming pills before the tournament? At least pretend to be surprised!
-Singularity sent a friend request! This man! Don’t you know what that means?
-You should be flat on your face pressing the accept button with your tongue and even that wouldn’t be enough ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Quickly say something, Gwanjong Cheonma!
“Hmm.”
Even without the chat window, it seemed like he should say something.
Since she was someone who sent one million won in donations along with praise.
Hae-rang conveyed his feelings as they were.
“Thank you, Da-hong. Please continue watching my broadcast.”
【S Da-hong S donated 10,000 won!】
【To Gwanjong Cheonma: Huh.】
-Hahahahahahaha that’s all you have to say?
-Do they think Dahong is just some random viewer? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Maybe he’s actually a master of push-and-pull? Pretending not to care while demanding affection!
-Why is Singularity watching Hakko’s stream lololol is he being self-conscious
-Da-hong’s inner thoughts: There’s a gamer who says such things to me…(heart flutter)
Even though the tournament was already over, no viewers left the broadcast.
Far from leaving, the chat window burned even hotter.
This despite the host Joint not doing any hosting at all.
That was the power Singularity possessed,
and on the other hand, it was the result created by Hae-rang’s uniqueness.
【S Da-hong S donated 10,000 won!】
<To Gwanjong Cheonma: The more I dig into you, the more interesting you become.>
<S Da-hong S has donated 10,000 won!>
<To Gwanjong Cheonma: That donation money. I didn’t give it just for you to buy meat. I’d like to see you try the ‘Assassin Series’ sometime.>
“Assassin Series?”
<S Da-hong S has donated 10,000 won!>
<To Gwanjong Cheonma: Heh. A streamer who doesn’t even know the Assassin Series? You’re really something else.>
<S Da-hong S has donated 10,000 won!>
<To Gwanjong Cheonma: It’s the most famous stealth action game in capsule gaming. It’s so popular that they release a new series every year.>
“I see there was such a game.”
<S Da-hong S has donated 10,000 won!>
<To Gwanjong Cheonma: Looking at your expression, you really don’t know. Did you come from living in the Stone Age or something?>
<S Da-hong S has donated 10,000 won!>
<To Gwanjong Cheonma: Anyway, you’ll try the Assassin Series, right? I want to hear you say yes before I go.>
“Of course.”
Hae-rang’s eyes sparkled as he gazed at Da-hong’s ID.
“You’ve donated so much and even praised me, so there’s no reason not to do it.”
<S Da-hong S has donated 10,000 won!>
<To Gwanjong Cheonma: Hmm. You’re not saying you’ll do it because I’m from Singularity. The nuance is a bit strange.>
<S Da-hong S has donated 10,000 won!>
<To Gwanjong Cheonma: Anyway, I’ve said what I came to say, so see you next time. Hurry up and accept my friend request!>
With those words, Da-hong left the room.
Even though Da-hong had disappeared, the excitement in the chat window showed no signs of cooling down.
-Seeing her tell you to play the Assassin Series, it’s certain, right?
-For real, it’s obvious. This is a blatant test.
-Gwanjong Cheonma! Don’t buy some random game to play, you absolutely have to do ‘Assassin Zero’!
Hae-rang looked at the chat window and asked.
“Is there a specific reason I must play ‘Zero’ among the Assassin Series?”
-Of course. ‘Assassin Zero’ is like the Singularity screening test.
-Only people who clear ‘Assassin Zero’ on ‘Catastrophe’ difficulty can receive a Singularity screening.
-It’s a kind of unspoken rule.
-If Gwanjong Cheonma clears Assassin Zero on ‘Catastrophe’ difficulty, Singularity might officially scout you.
“I see.”
Hae-rang nodded.
Though there were various opinions, Hae-rang quickly grasped the essence.
‘So this world also has alliances.’
Murim Alliance.
Evil Path Alliance.
Demon Blood Alliance, and so on.
Similar groups had existed in his previous life too.
Gatherings formed to pursue common interests.
Singularity seemed to have the same purpose.
-Lucky 관종천마. Even getting love calls from Singularity ㅠㅠㅠㅠ So jealous
-Love call my ass. Does Assassin Zero look like a joke to you? They’re just testing the waters
-It is difficult though. Especially ‘Catastrophe’ difficulty makes you wonder if they even made it to be cleared.
-Honestly, it feels like all the geniuses who could emerge have already emerged, but Gwanjong Cheonma might be able to do it
-‘Break the Joint’ instantly became ‘Gwanjong Cheonma’s Test’ lololol
-Isn’t today basically the final episode of ‘Break the Joint’?
“Uwoooooooh! That can’t happen!”
Joint, who had finally pulled himself together mentally, let out his characteristic shout.
“An esteemed person has graced our humble place, haven’t they? High-class gaming broadcast with Singularity participation! Please show lots of love for next month’s ‘Break the Joint’ tournament too!”
-Look at him trying so hard to act like he’s okay lololol how pitiful
-Joint, you worked hard!
-Bye Joint!
-You must give advance notice when you do ‘Assassin Zero’ later!
-Joint bye! Gwanjong Cheonma bye!
With his final comment, Joint ended the chat room.
Joint, who had been watching the list of viewers rapidly leaving, extended one hand.
“Congratulations.”
“Thank you, Joint.”
“I told you to follow me with Iron Fist in a fit of anger, but I never thought you’d actually come this far and beat me up.”
Joint had suffered a complete defeat in his main specialty that he’d honed his entire life.
He had every reason to be angry, but instead he looked rather refreshed.
“For someone saying that, you seem quite calm.”
“Haha. Really? It’s true that I’m heated, but this isn’t my first time feeling this kind of frustration.”
“You mean that uninvited guest from earlier?”
“Right. Singula… Those bastards appeared like a swarm of locusts and swept through the Iron Fist tournaments. Thanks to them, I retired.”
Joint took off his ridiculous mini sunglasses.
“Those guys are truly distasteful, but don’t miss this opportunity, Gwanjong Cheonma.”
“Opportunity?”
“Right. Becoming a member of Singularity means becoming absolute power in our country’s gaming industry. Not just viewers, but even game development companies and government related departments have to watch their faces.”
“Their power must be incredible.”
“Depending on which games those guys touch, viewership and viewer counts fluctuate. It can’t be helped.”
Joint snorted and raised his hand.
“Anyway, thanks. Fighting with you today reminded me of my player days for the first time in a while. I felt my blood boiling after so long.”
“Same here.”
Hae-rang smiled slightly, and Joint tilted his head.
He probably couldn’t understand that Hae-rang also had days when his blood boiled.
“Right. What games are you thinking of playing from now on? Are you going to abandon Iron Fist Seven now?”
“Rather than abandoning it, I’m thinking of playing the latest version. The viewers seem to prefer that.”
“Good thinking. The latest version of Iron Fist is still very popular. International tournaments are held from time to time too. Most importantly…”
Joint curled his raised hand into a fist and lightly tapped Hae-rang’s chest.
“You have enough talent. I’d like you to continue with fighting games from now on if possible. I’m asking this as a viewer.”
Hae-rang trembled and nodded.
Since he aimed to be a variety game streamer, he would always continue with fighting games.
That’s exactly why Hae-rang asked Joint.
“Could I get a recommendation?”
“Recommendation? What kind of recommendation?”
“I’m thinking of trying some tools from now on.”
“??”
* * *
Hissss!
The closed glass door opened, and a woman with flawless white skin stretched her body out.
“Ah-cha!”
The hissing sound when the door opens is always nice.
Same when finishing capsule games.
The rapid cooling machine that brings vitality to a tired body is the same too.
The woman who emerged from the machine without a thread on wrapped her body in a large towel.
“Please be careful going home, customer!”
The store owner came out in his socks to see her off.
She was someone who bought therapy vouchers worth hundreds of thousands of won on an annual basis.
The owner thought of her as a successful model or chaebol heir.
If the owner had even the slightest interest in game broadcasting, he would have recognized ‘Da-hong’s’ identity.
Click.
Da-hong got into her red sports car and gripped the steering wheel.
Then she checked the smartphone notifications she hadn’t seen yet.
“Oh! He started streaming?”
Her long eyelashes shot up high.
Soon she quickly activated the ‘Trend’ app.
“Haha. That’s right. It was my suggestion after all.”
Gwanjong Cheonma.
He had started streaming after two days.
He must be playing Assassin Zero with the money she sponsored.
“This is the important part now.”
Could Gwanjong Cheonma really grow to Singularity level?
Da-hong entered the channel with a pleased heart.
Soon her jaw dropped endlessly and hit the handle.
“Wh-what is this?”
A shabby and ridiculously absurd background and design.
Gwanjong Cheonma was playing what looked like an amateur-made game.
Boom boom!
Inside a jar, swinging a strange hammer.
