Chapter 49

“This is hilarious, seriously.”

One of the many viewers watching Hae-rang’s broadcast.

Singularity Da-hong smirked with her cherry-like lips.

“Really hilarious.”

Gwanjong Cheonma’s game broadcast.

Da-hong, who was watching ‘Assassin Revenge’, kept repeating the same words.

Hilarious.

So hilarious she could die.

How could it be so hilarious.

To others, it might sound like mockery, but Da-hong was an exception.

When witnessing something mysterious.

When something couldn’t be understood by her common sense.

When witnessing a performance superior to her own.

Da-hong only used the expression ‘hilarious’ at such times.

By her standards, the performance Gwanjong Cheonma was showing right now was incredibly hilarious.

It was practically the highest praise she could give.

“Really, anyone would think he was a war hero in his past life.”

The Butterfly Effect that Hae-rang had created became a massive typhoon dominating the battlefield.

Elogio was causing chaos by capturing the Leader in the middle of the Temple Knights.

The Battle Cry he shouted made even her, as a viewer, feel like her ears would fall off,

so how much worse must it have been for the other characters in the game.

As a result, the Assassination Corps, who should have been ‘fleeing’, chose to fight against the Temple Knights.

The result was an overwhelming victory.

In war, morale is as important as skill.

David’s Slingshot filled with fighting spirit hurts more than the axe of a demoralized armored giant.

The Vice Commander, unable to endure the one-sided massacre, gave an order close to a scream.

“Everyone! Retreat!”

“Chase them!”

“Don’t let a single one live!”

The Temple Knights were an officially active force.

On the other hand, the Assassination Corps was an organization that resisted the establishment.

As if venting all their pent-up frustration, the Assassination Corps pursued and pursued the Temple Knights.

“Really hilarious.”

What could be considered the highest praise from Da-hong continued to leak out.

First of all, the opening scene of the Hidden Quest was nonsensical.

She knew from experience.

To clear the Quest with Viego with an SSS rating, hadn’t she made countless futile attempts to dodge the rock that flew at the very start?

But Da-hong failed every single try.

Each time the rock hit her, the vibration echoing in her skull seemed to scold her.

That she couldn’t do it like Gwanjong Cheonma.

‘And right now…’

While dodging rocks that pierced through the status window was difficult, it couldn’t compare to arrows flying in a surprise attack in the middle of the night.

Moreover, Gwanjong Cheonma didn’t just evade the arrow but caught it with his hand.

This was literally an insane performance.

‘How good must his eyesight and reaction speed be to make that possible?’

There’s a saying that anyone who has played even one match finds it hard to criticize professional players.

It means that even a little experience lets you know how difficult it is.

Da-hong was experiencing exactly that.

The viewers don’t know.

They just like it because it looks cool and flashy.

To actually show that level of movement in-game requires ridiculous skill.

“Well, fine. I’ll concede his physical abilities a hundred times over. But…”

She already knew through Iron Fist and the Jar Game.

That Gwanjong Cheonma’s physical abilities were at an unreasonable level.

But what surprised Da-hong the most today was a different area.

‘His leadership is extraordinary.’

Zhang Fei cannot become a ruler.

It’s impossible for Lu Bu to become Cao Cao either.

It means that no matter how good your physical abilities are, you can’t lead an organization without leadership.

But Hae-rang accomplished it effortlessly.

He identified the key figure who could change the tide of war and used the most effective method to crush the enemy’s morale.

Meanwhile, he raised the Assassination Corps’ morale as high as the stars in the sky.

Clench.

Da-hong clenched both hands into fists.

The sight of the Temple Knights being crushed like a ragtag bunch looked like Korea’s national team in international competitions.

[Losing streak in every international competition! Is this okay for South Korea’s national team!]

[More interested in making money than honor? Exposing the illusion of Korean Singularity.]

[What kind of disgrace is this in an international tournament? Korean national team arguing among themselves!]

[A textbook example of a frog in a well, they need to show performance worthy of the name Singularity.]

[Singularity only cares about advertising rates rather than game scores!]

The world’s most popular capsule game tournament.

No, the most popular tournament on Earth.

At the annual WVC (World Virtualgame Championship), Korea had never achieved even a single victory.

It wasn’t just one year – this had been going on for over 5 years.

The most painful aspect of the Korean National Team was the lack of a ‘leader’.

Since everyone had similar skill levels, there was no clear focal point to lead the team.

Even if someone tried to act like a leader, they would immediately be attacked or gossiped about on individual broadcasts.

Da-hong had already experienced this herself.

“If only Singularity had a member like that…”

Da-hong, who had been muttering to herself, suddenly slapped her own cheek.

“What am I thinking? About a streamer who hasn’t even passed the test yet…”

Forget the test – even when she set up opportunities for him, he just did other things.

She sponsored him to play Assassin Zero, but he played the Jar Game instead, and then ‘Revenge’ instead of Assassin Zero.

A twisted person might interpret this as deliberately trying to mess with her.

But.

However.

Nevertheless, Da-hong was once again watching ‘Gwanjong Cheonma’s Game Broadcast’.

To see how well he played?

To confirm his qualifications for Singularity?

Of course, those reasons existed too.

But the reason Da-hong kept watching the broadcast was,

“It’s entertaining.”

The most basic and primal reason for watching game broadcasts.

Gwanjong Cheonma’s broadcast was fun.

What she said earlier wasn’t just Da-hong’s personal language like ‘funny’.

In the dictionary sense, Da-hong was watching Gwanjong Cheonma’s game broadcast with genuine ‘entertainment’.

At this moment, she was just one of thousands of viewers.

* * *

【’Survive the Templar Knights’ Attack!’ Quest Success!】

【Quest Achievement Grade: SSS】

【Current Average Achievement: SSS】

Complete annihilation.

The Assassin Brotherhood heading to Rome had caught an unexpected big fish thanks to Hae-rang’s performance.

They had defeated all the Templar Knights who pursued them to the scene.

Once the battle concluded, the assassins all came to find Hae-rang without exception.

“Thank you so much, Elogio.”

“Thanks to you, I can achieve the revenge I’ve dreamed of. Catching even one Templar Knight has been my long-cherished wish.”

“Your performance allowed us to minimize casualties.”

“All of this is thanks to you, Elogio.”

“I’ll never forget today until I die.”

The assassins surrounded him, offering thanks and praise.

Hae-rang squeezed his eyes shut and trembled.

“Hup.”

“What’s wrong, Elogio? Are you hurt somewhere?”

“Did you get injured during the battle?”

“This is serious. If an asymmetric force like you takes damage…”

“Here, bring a medicine bottle!”

Hae-rang waved his hand to stop them.

“No. I’m fine now.”

Hae-rang had just received a shower of praise.

Despite the battle having just ended, his eyes shone even clearer.

“I’m perfectly fine. You don’t need to worry.”

At his words that he was okay, the assassins breathed sighs of relief.

Then they bombarded him with questions.

“That’s a relief. So, can we depart again now?”

“Give us orders, Elogio. What should we do?”

“Seeing that the Templar Knights attacked, it seems information leaked. What do we do now?”

“Shouldn’t we change our Rome assault tactics too?”

The viewers reacted to this dramatic change even before Hae-rang did.

-Whoa whoa. What’s this development? Suddenly Gwanjong seems like he became the leader?

-Hahahaha look at them all creeping up nervously and sticking their necks out like meerkats

-When you have good skills, leadership naturally follows!

-Kneel! This is the eye level between you guys and our Gwanjong!

-For real, this plot makes no sense. Originally the quest was just to not fall behind at the back of the assassination squad, right?

-At this rate our attention seeker could start their own religion lmaooooooo

“You people!”

A shouting voice was heard from a little distance away.

The official leader of the Assassination Corps.

Old Knight Giovanni pushed through the crowd and approached.

“What in the world are you all doing!”

-Shivering… Sword Master grandpa is angry

-I’d be pissed too. The members are straight up ignoring their leader lol

-Even the kids know ㅇㅅㅇ who they need to rely on right now

-Shit, isn’t this just gonna cause trouble for no reason? When I see him in games, Giovanni has quite the temper

-Giovanni is so damn bad-tempered ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Like parting the Red Sea, Giovanni cut through the crowd and stood before Hae-rang.

A rough voice flowed from between his tightly pressed lips.

“I am the leader of this organization! So it makes sense that I should ask first!”

“…Excuse me?”

“Elogio. How about we change the camp location? It seems the information has already leaked.”

-hahahahahahahahaha damn

-Oh, so this is why you were mad? hahahahaha

-Move aside! I’m going to ask first!

-Right. That’s right. Respecting elders is important!

-Where do these wet-behind-the-ears kids think they’re going asking questions first!

-Get in line! Take a number!

-Looks like Giovanni also thinks that attention seeker is the leader now? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Though it was a bit unexpected, Hae-rang quickly regained his composure.

This was something he had experienced countless times in his previous life.

People’s loyalty cannot be forced.

It’s much better to make them bow their heads willingly.

Just like a moment ago, by showing overwhelming skill.

“There doesn’t seem to be a need to change the camp.”

“Why is that?”

“If the information leaked as you say, sir, then surely the camp information would have been passed along too. But no matter how much information there is, it’s meaningless if there’s no one left to act on it.”

Hae-rang’s head turned to one side.

There, the corpses of Templar Knights were piled high.

“Indeed. That’s certainly true. These bastards must have been planning to chase us all the way to the camp.”

“We eliminated all the Templar Knights. We didn’t let a single one escape. There’s no messenger left to report that the operation failed.”

At that, Giovanni opened his mouth so wide his uvula was visible.

“Ho, could it be that you. Did you annihilate the Templar Knights with even that in mind?”

The reason for choosing counterattack instead of escape.

Giovanni’s wrinkled forehead smoothed out completely at Hae-rang’s deep strategy.

“It wasn’t something I did alone.”

Hae-rang looked around once and smiled sweetly.

“It’s what everyone in the Assassination Corps gathered here accomplished.”

“Huh.”

All the Assassination Corps members looked at Hae-rang with sparkling eyes.

-Wow, innkeeper! Bring all the food in this house!

-Elogio is Italian, so what’s with this frozen innkeeper?

-Hey, isn’t there anyone selling food in Italy? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Innkeeper! Señorita! Just bring all the food you have!

-Even the way he lifts up his companions is truly leader-like

-For real, that’s insane. You’re telling me he fought the Temple Knights while seeing this far ahead?

-I am five moves ahead of you all!

-This is amazing. Now I’m certain. Gwanjong’s character is like that, but in reality he must be a grandpa over eighty.

-That’s scary in its own way, but shit, was that battle from earlier something an old man could even do?

-Hahahahaha I burst out laughing just imagining it

-Hey Jonathan. In reality, I’m older than you!

Hae-rang chuckled.

While he wasn’t actually older than Jonathan, Hae-rang wasn’t someone who would lose out in terms of experience either.

“It seems we’ve rested enough, shall we start moving now?”

“Let’s go! Move out!”

Hae-rang gave the order, and the Assassination Corps responded.

The process was so natural it was almost laughable.

The Assassination Corps members all cleared the way for him, placing Hae-rang at the very front of the group.

Looking around, Hae-rang soon shouted out refreshingly.

“Advance!”
