Chapter 72
【You have used a Red Zone Grenade!】
【Toxic smoke is activated in the surrounding area!】
【Your health is decreasing!】
The Red Zone Grenade that Hae-rang detonated at his feet.
As if wearing red-tinted lenses, the surrounding view was dyed crimson.
A tingling sensation hit his nose as if he had eaten a hot pepper.
“This is quite an unusual sight. It’s like another world.”
Everything visible within the Red Zone was new to him.
The more he played, the more he thought it was a really well-made game.
However, the viewers seemed to think differently.
-Are you watching it right now? hahahahahaha
-Hey manager! Your health is dropping right now!
-What kind of troll play is this;;;
-Is there anyone who throws a Red Zone Grenade at themselves?
-Seriously, how many insane plays were there in just one game lol
-Now they’re even stirring up trouble for themselves hahaha
-Gwanjong-i brother. Are you okay?
“I can still endure it.”
【HP 70/100】
It hadn’t been long since he detonated the grenade, but already 30% was gone.
But Hae-rang was relaxed.
He still had a First Aid Kit in his inventory.
Since he had jumped off the Retona just before the gas station exploded, he wasn’t seriously injured.
“But that side will have a hard time enduring it.”
Hae-rang gazed calmly at the wreckage on the opposite side.
Now, viewers who began to catch on to Hae-rang’s intention started to appear.
-That side? Which side?
-The side where ‘DrDragon’ or whatever is?
-He’ll have a hard time too. Now almost all areas of PUBG are Red Zone.
-LOL how did the game end up with a time limit
-Terminal surge user wants to live lol
└Sounds like a web novel title lol
-They’re probably just camping over there too, chugging first aid kits and drinks ㅇㅅㅇ
-Ah! Wait! Isn’t he in critical condition right now?
-Even if not critical, he probably already used all his first aid, like ‘Explosion’ who just died.
-Right! ‘DrDragon’ can’t hold out!
-Shit lol that’s fucking hilarious. Even if you try to avoid it, there’s nowhere to run, right?
-Behind is the official Red Zone. In front is the Red Zone Grenade. What will you do?
-I choose death!
Click.
Hae-rang shouldered his Win 94.
“Let’s make our move.”
Either no health.
Or no spare First Aid Kit.
‘DrDragon’ was most likely in one of those states.
But on this side,
‘I have both health and First Aid Kits to spare.’
Here, ‘DrDragon’ only had two choices.
Die slowly in the Red Zone.
Or make a last stand.
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly grenades exploded here and there.
It didn’t seem like he knew exactly where Hae-rang was.
Just random shooting.
It felt like a “whatever happens, happens” approach.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I can feel the desperation all the way from here lol ㅋㅋㅋ
-I guess they’re trying anything lol seeing how they’re throwing all sorts of items around
-Not there~ Not there~
-If they just catch the attention seeker it’s a free chicken dinner, so they probably don’t want to give up ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Still be careful, Gwanjong brother. One lucky punch could send you to your grave.
“I know.”
Hae-rang maintained a solid shooting stance.
Such things often happened in Murim too.
The moment you think you have the upper hand.
Your head gets cut off by the opponent’s final resistance.
Indeed.
It seemed such upsets existed in Survival Ground as well.
Whoosh!
One of the randomly thrown grenades.
It was flying directly toward Hae-rang.
Considering Hae-rang’s remaining health, it could be an instant death situation.
-Oh fuck
-Run away!
-Holy shit!
They were so desperate that even their chat messages came out wrong.
But Hae-rang’s eyes were as unwavering as a boulder.
He simply watched.
The grenade flying toward him.
He aimed,
And pulled the trigger.
The recoil was a bit tough, but the Win 94’s first shot was fairly accurate.
Bang!
A clean shot without any unnecessary flourish.
Easy to say, but impossible without nerves of steel.
If he missed even slightly, he would become the loser of this game.
But Hae-rang accomplished that incredible feat.
Boom!
The grenade flying toward him exploded in midair.
The grenade fragments took 5% of Hae-rang’s health, but he had already used a first aid kit.
“Kyaaah!”
A pained cry could be heard through the smoke of the grenade.
It was DrDragon’s voice, now left with neither health nor items.
At the same time, urgent footsteps could be heard.
‘Indeed. Those 9 kills weren’t earned for nothing.’
Judging by the timing, it seemed he had reflexively jumped out when the grenade exploded.
He was making a desperate gamble because there was no time left.
Not a pre-planned move, but a play born from instinct.
Hae-rang acknowledged ‘DrDragon’ in his heart.
And then he fired.
Bang!
DrDragon’s body swayed greatly in midair.
The momentum carrying him forward disappeared, and only gravity guided his body.
Thud!
With a dull sound, ‘DrDragon’s’ body hit the ground.
Hae-rang finally released his shouldering stance.
Then he slung the Win 94 over his shoulder with a stylish motion.
【’Gwanjong Cheonma’ has eliminated ‘DrDragon’!】
【Kill Ranking: 1st Place Gwanjong Cheonma (10 kills)…】
【’Gwanjong Cheonma’ has become the last survivor!】
【Winner Winner! Tonight’s dinner is chicken for two!】
Survival Ground’s final victor, Gwanjong Cheonma.
Various notification windows congratulated his victory.
“Whew.”
Hae-rang let out a deep breath.
Then he clenched his hands into fists and raised them above his head.
It was the thrilling victory pose that only the sole survivor among a hundred participants could make.
* * *
-Ooooooooh!!
-It’s real! He really did it!!
-Is Gwanjong a god? Is Gwanjong a god? Is Gwanjong a god? Is Gwanjong a god?
-10 kills and 1st place on the first round lololol
-We’ve decided to call people like this a genius!
-That was insane, did anyone see him blow up the grenade mid-air?
-For real, the way they calmly aimed in that situation gave me chills ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
-‘DrDragon’ was no ordinary player either;; My heart almost stopped when he charged using the grenade explosion
-But it doesn’t work, does it? Everyone’s just ordinary in front of our Gwanjong, right?
-You’re too slow, DrDragon… even throwing that grenade..
-Our Gwanjong-i is good at everything but has one hole;;; Ecstasy (hole)
-Attention-seeking hyung, why are you streaming without paying the fee? The parking fee in my heart ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└What’s the manager doing? Feed these bastards some bans ㅡㅡ
-Ah, this is really fucking fun. This is why I can’t stop watching Gwanjong’s streams, you know?
All the viewers celebrated Hae-rang’s first place victory with one heart.
So much so that Hae-rang, who had returned to the waiting room, couldn’t straighten his bent body for quite a while.
Hae-rang, who barely regained his composure, mentioned each sponsor’s name one by one.
“Thank you ‘Clock Met Again’ for the 10,000 won donation. Thank you ‘PUBG Should Die’ for the 20,000 won donation. Thank you ‘Oxta Kalis’ for the 15,000 won donation.”
Calling out the viewers who had sponsored was basic among basics.
Even though he could have been intoxicated by the joy of victory, Hae-rang called out every sponsor’s name.
‘He’s a natural.’
Manager Choi Gang-sik’s cheeks rose to the sky as he watched this.
Besides carefully taking care of sponsors’ names,
Hae-rang showed he had completely adapted to streaming.
‘He knows. He knows that viewers like it more when he plays with the Win 94.’
He might deny it with his mouth, but donations were honest.
Every time Hae-rang swept away enemies with the Win 94, donations and chat messages flooded in like a storm.
Without a doubt, if he had performed with a good gun, there wouldn’t have been this level of reaction.
‘Viewers don’t like ordinary victories. They want special victories.’
Getting chicken dinner with a trash gun that nobody uses?
There would be no greater dopamine rush than that in Survival Ground.
Even in situations where he could easily use other guns, Hae-rang didn’t.
He seemed to know instinctively.
That this would make the viewers burn with even more excitement.
‘The preliminary preparations are complete. More than enough.’
He had thought he would need to play a few games, or even dozens of games in normal mode to adapt.
But what do you know.
For a user who got chicken dinner from the very first game, the word ‘adaptation’ was unnecessary.
【Choi Gang Gang-sik(Manager) : How is it? Can you handle it?】
Choi Gang-sik whispered to ask if he could play more games.
The question “can you handle it” didn’t just apply to Hae-rang alone.
The phenomenon of the capsule overheating when Hae-rang was in deep concentration.
If the Overclock was severe, he could get kicked out mid-game.
“Yes. Gang-si brother. Both are fine.”
Hae-rang understood Choi Gang-sik’s intention perfectly.
【Choi Gang Gang-sik(Manager) : Good. Then let’s go for consecutive games. Will you keep playing normal games?】
“Hmm…”
Hae-rang, lost in thought for a moment, soon threw a question to the viewers.
“What do you all think? Should we play normal games a bit more, or should we go straight to placement matches?”
-Need you ask! Go straight to placement!
-If you got chicken dinner, you can go ranked right away!
-Since we’re at it, go to Gold! No, Platinum!
-Hehe. I’ve lost interest in the broken toy called ‘normal games’ ^^
-I already got the chicken so there’s no point in playing regular games anymore lololol
-I actually wanted to take it slow…but my heart won’t calm down!
-Placement matches let’s gooooooooooo
-You puppies of Survival Ground. Tremble in fear and wait. Cheetah Cheonma is coming!
The viewers’ reactions were unanimous.
Stop playing normal games right now and take the placement matches.
Users starting ranked matches for the first time take five placement matches.
Depending on the results of those five games, they might get ‘Abyss’ or receive ‘Platinum’.
Seeing the chat window’s reaction, Choi Gang-sik chuckled once more.
“As expected, he knows broadcasting.”
He had just played a normal game and got chicken dinner.
Even viewers who were sitting back calmly in their chairs would be fidgeting with excitement.
He threw the question before that excitement could fade.
‘It looks like he’s trying to follow the viewers’ opinions, but the reality is the opposite.’
Hae-rang had naturally trained the viewers.
The person who wanted placement matches more than anyone was Hae-rang himself.
The more he watched, the more excellent his ability to handle the masses was.
The way he trained viewers.
The way he displayed leadership.
The commanding presence that occasionally emerged.
Having worked as a manager, he could tell.
This kind of skill was impossible without ‘experience’.
‘At Hae-rang’s age, there shouldn’t have been opportunities to display commanding presence?’
Suddenly, the words ‘Gwanjong Cheonma’ entered Choi Gang-sik’s field of vision.
He gave a bitter smile.
“If you get completely consumed by a concept, I suppose that could happen.”
It was mysterious, but on the other hand, it was familiar.
Everything that had happened since meeting Hae-rang had unfolded outside the realm of common sense.
Right.
Since things had come this far, let’s see it through to the end.
All the upsets and turmoil that could be shown in ‘Survival Ground’.
Until Hae-rang showed all of that, Choi Gang-sik planned to support him with everything he had.
“I’ll start ranked games. I’ll proceed with placement matches right away.”
-Yeah! This is it
-Wow wow my heart is trembling;;;
-Gwanjong Cheonma’s first ranked deployment!
-To call it my first rank, I’ve only played one normal game though lol;;
-Gwanjong Cheonma with 100% normal game win rate is going! (Games played: one)
-Actually this is an even more insane record ㅇㅅㅇ Who can get chicken dinner on their very first game?
-For real, since it’s come to this, let’s go for a perfect sweep in placement matches too!
-Gwanjong sir! Which map will you choose?
-Right. Map selection is most important!
-If you’re Korean, please let’s do Taego!
Hae-rang slowly looked around at the maps that appeared before his eyes.
He had already roughly heard about the characteristics of the maps from Choi Gang-sik.
Hae-rang chose one map without hesitation.
“I’ll go with Sanhok.”
Sanhok.
The smallest map in Survival Ground, and
From the very beginning, it was a battlefield where countless bare-handed combat unfolded.
