Chapter 86
“What the?”
“What’s going on?”
“Is this for real?”
“Why is he doing that?”
“What’s wrong with him?”
When viewers witness something strange while watching a broadcast,
most of them show reactions like this.
Nothing particularly surprising about such responses.
But in this situation, it becomes a major event.
Because the people reacting weren’t viewers, but members of ‘Singularity’.
“Brother Sang-jin can’t even put up a fight.”
“Why is he playing so badly? Did he eat bad raw beef and get diarrhea or something?”
“He just got perfectly beaten, right?”
“Brother Sang-jin, didn’t you say you were going to compete with Iron Fist in this Capsule Cup?”
“The Iron Fist team is screwed.”
Even from their perspective as Singularity members, this was a rare sight.
At first, everyone had expected Da-hong to be at a disadvantage.
After Italian National Representative Alberto exposed Da-hong’s weaknesses, she had been unable to demonstrate her strength.
She had even reached the point of being on the verge of being kicked out of the Iron Fist National Team.
But then,
【K.O.!】
【Kiroi WIN!】
Four consecutive wins.
Da-hong was crushing Jo Sang-jin without giving up a single round.
“She countered with a grab.”
One Singularity member snapped his fingers.
“Since we keep using lateral movement, she’s throwing in grab feints in the middle. Looks pretty good, doesn’t it?”
Then a young-looking woman asked him.
“A counter to the counter, something like that?”
“Seems like it. In the past, Da-hong just mindlessly used beat down attacks, right? It was flashy but surprisingly simple in pattern.”
“Wow. Sister must have really put in a lot of effort.”
Thwack!
Thud!
Even while they were talking, Jo Sang-jin’s ‘Geyachi’ kept allowing combos.
His dream of being able to go on a date was shattering into pieces like his broken teeth.
“But I don’t understand. When someone tries to grab, you can just crouch or throw in light attacks, right?”
“Well, is that possible during lateral movement?”
“Oh right! That’s true.”
The woman slapped her forehead as if she finally understood.
The easiest way to avoid grabs is to crouch in place.
But during lateral movement, such actions were impossible.
Just as there’s the advantage of being able to avoid the opponent’s attacks, certain movements are restricted.
“Since Kiroi’s continuous attacks are so intense, we have no choice but to use lateral movement by splitting frames into units of two or three. Responding to grabs on top of that is practically impossible.”
“Hmm.”
The woman twirled her hair around one finger.
“It was comfortable and nice for a while, but now dealing with sister is going to be a real headache. Before the counter-strategy came out, no one could properly respond to sister’s attacks, right?”
“Kiroi’s glorious return. Something like that would make a decent preview.”
Singularity’s attention split in two directions.
Companions who continued watching with interest,
and companions who looked away and did other things.
Just because they were doing other things didn’t mean their interest had waned.
There was simply no need to keep watching a game whose outcome was already decided.
In their view, this match was already concluded.
“Don’t be ridiculous…!”
Geyachi, whose teeth had been completely knocked out.
Jo Sang-jin cried out as if coughing up blood.
“You’re telling me the matchup changes this much from just one grab technique? I can’t accept it!”
Da-hong replied indifferently.
“Then try winning.”
“Aaahhh!”
With little health remaining, Geyachi unleashes a wave assault.
Perhaps due to the ‘Last Fury’ effect that activates when health is low,
his momentum looked even more ferocious.
“Hmph.”
However, Da-hong only wore a cold and chic smile.
The reason she earned the nickname ‘Blade Queen’.
The smile that had disappeared through repeated poor performances in tournaments was revived here today.
Clang clang clang!
Da-hong blocked ‘Geyachi’s’ attacks with graceful movements.
Most of ‘Geyachi’s’ skills have large motions.
They’re powerful, but slow in speed.
‘It’s an extremely natural principle.’
However, there was an existence that defied this.
A broken character that was painfully strong while also being fast in movement.
‘No, I should call him a gamer rather than a character.’
Gwanjong Cheonma.
The Full Phoenix he controlled was strong.
The Full Phoenix he controlled was fast.
The Full Phoenix he controlled was agile.
To summarize,
‘Fucking broken.’
Having experienced the spicy broken performance Hae-rang showed, ‘Geyachi’s’ movements looked incredibly slow.
While ‘Geyachi’ was pouring out combo attacks, Kiroi’s elbow struck through a gap.
Thwack!
“Ugh!”
Geyachi clutched his face and stepped back.
With this, the initiative passed to Kiroi.
However, she didn’t attack.
What Da-hong chose was ‘conversation’.
“I’d like to say this in advance if possible. Is that okay?”
“What… are you talking about?”
“We agreed that if I win the bet, you’d grant my wish. Will you be able to look at my face after the game ends without being embarrassed?”
“You fucking bitch! Stop acting so cocky!”
“Right. Even with the slightest provocation, that low-class nature of yours comes out. That’s why I hate you.”
Kiroi reached her hand into her chest.
However, Jo Sang-jin, who had completely lost his composure, didn’t notice that small movement.
“Don’t ever talk to me again. You’ve been disgusting enough already.”
Flash!
A black, slender object gleams.
It looked just like a thin black snake flying through the air.
Kiroi’s ranged attack, Staff Strike Down.
The place where the black snake’s mouth bit down was,
Crack!
Geyachi’s heart.
“Grrk…!”
Geyachi trembled like someone who had been electrocuted.
Soon his body collapsed like a deflated balloon.
Thud!
【K.O.!】
【Kiroi WIN!】
A match where winning five rounds meant victory.
Da-hong achieved a perfect sweep without allowing a single defeat.
It was literally a perfect ‘revival’.
* * *
Hae-rang’s recent lifestyle pattern was quite simple.
In the morning, he completed exercise routines like running,
and after lunch, he performed sensory training inside the capsule.
Only after all training in reality and online was finished would he turn on his broadcast.
The feeling of being sharp like a well-honed blade.
Hae-rang liked that feeling.
Whirr!
Hae-rang, having finished his capsule training, got up from his seat and wiped away his sweat.
When he came out to the living room, Mother wasn’t there.
On the monitor where she had been working, there was a post-it note that read ‘Work finished!’
“He went to sleep.”
Even when he came home after finishing the meeting with ‘Gonau Soft’.
Even when he couldn’t fall asleep due to the excitement of becoming an official tester.
Mother was still sitting in front of the computer.
Since she had worked for a long time after staying up all night, she would be sleeping soundly by now.
“Let’s see.”
Hae-rang sat on the faded sofa and turned on his smartphone.
YouTube channel ‘Gwanjong Cheonma’s Game Broadcast’.
It had the same title as the trending broadcast, so it was easily accessible.
The channel had a notification that a new video had been uploaded.
[Placement Test All Chicken.]
The title of the newly uploaded video was short.
Only seven characters at most.
But the meaning contained in those characters was more than enough to catch people’s attention.
“One thousand…!”
Hae-rang’s mouth opened involuntarily.
It hadn’t even been an hour since the video was uploaded, but the view count had exceeded a thousand.
A much faster pace than usual.
The first reason for this was in the comments that were being posted in real time.
-I came from Bomb Magix’s channel!
-Me too. Our Jix turned out to be fake madness after all lololol
-How did you think of jumping onto a flying bike? You’re the captain of creativity
-Is this person the user who appeared on ‘Bomb Magix’? They’re really good?
-I came after watching Jix’s video and it’s all chicken lol this channel will blow up soon
The small ball that ‘Bomb Magix’ had shot up.
There were quite a few people who naturally flowed in after watching the video he uploaded.
-Placement test all chicken lololol damn you should lie in moderation
-What is YouTube management doing not banning channels like this? It’s obviously impossible
-Trying to raise view count somehow lololol
-You got caught well, I was bored today!
The second group was those who were attracted by the title.
The impatient ones left comments without even watching the video to the end.
However, not long after, the malicious comments began to disappear.
It wasn’t Hae-rang or Choi Gang-sik who deleted them.
The guys who checked the video deleted their own comments.
Naturally, the comment section became first-class clean water.
-Driver Choi Hong-min lololol look at that nickname lololol
-He probably didn’t know how to actually drive, right? lol
-Our Gwanjong brother is a baby.. he doesn’t know how to drive..
-Did anyone hear him screaming when Hong-min crashed the car? “If we die, that’s it~” what bullshit lololololol
-Really giving up and going crazy lol
-But he survived in the end, right? Thanks to that, our Hong-min set the best record, right?
-But how do you catch the guys in the smoke grenade?
-Didn’t he beat up kids in smoke grenades last time too?
-Hey! Don’t try to analyze our Gwanjong-i by common standards
-Look at them both getting Yacha Rule at the end lol
-Driver Choi Hong-min. He was a man. I acknowledge it.
-Really romantic as hell. The background is Red Zone too, so the atmosphere is heroic lol
-Wow. This video also has good quality. It’s definitely an editing restaurant.
Hae-rang read the comments one by one with sparkling eyes.
This was what was good about YouTube.
He could savor the reactions that he inevitably missed during live broadcasts one by one.
‘It’s like they’re talking to me right next to me.’
A tingling thrill ran through Hae-rang’s entire body.
The viewers’ favorable reviews reached their peak in the ‘Bomb Magix’ episode.
-Bomb Magix? I’ve seen this guy on YouTube before
-Still doing concept broadcasts I see lololol
-Aaahhhhh! Why are you crashing into the tree?
-Lololololol Jix was there lol look at him flying with the tree
-Who knew that being bad at driving would help in this way lololol
-Wow shit! Did he just get on the bike in midair?
-Rather than getting on, wasn’t he shot down? lololol
-What a novel method lol first time seeing something like this in Survival Ground
-This is why they called Jix fake madness;; I have to acknowledge this
-Ah, if you’re upset, Jix, you get on an exploding bike too lololol
-Wow, it explodes one more time????
-Look at him swinging that machete. Is that a machete or a legendary demon sword?
-The machete actually seems to have a blue glow;;;
-Ah. This blue radiance is called ‘rust’.
The viewers’ reactions reached their peak when he utilized the zipline gun at the quarry.
-He’s moving while holding the zipline gun in one hand;; Is something like that possible?
-Yeah it’s possible. The downside is your arm breaks
-What’s 3D maneuvering lololol is this a live-action version of ‘Attack on Titan’?
-When did that flop because it was made so poorly
-The motorcycle highlight has better quality than the ‘Bomb Magix’ video;;
-Really flashy lol first gamer I’ve seen who filmed highlights this diversely
-Q: Is this the entire season’s highlight? A: No. It’s one day.
-Wow! He gets it in the end! All chicken!
-My week is only 6 days long.. I’ve been craning my neck waiting for your video to be uploaded ㅠㅠ
-Placement test all chicken damn why wasn’t this a hot topic?
-A post was already uploaded on Shotgun. The problem is people don’t believe it well
The impactful title, the quality of the video, and even the supporting fire from Bomb Magix’s fans.
All of it was good.
Before he knew it, the video views had surpassed 5,000, and hundreds of comments had been posted.
Hae-rang monitored the viewers’ reactions throughout the time he spent washing and eating.
Even while shampooing, he used the voice reading function to listen to comments.
It was the moment when the ‘true madness’ that Bomb Magix had mentioned was revealed.
“Now then….”
Hae-rang, having finished all his preparations, boarded the machine.
Before turning on the broadcast, he first checked Manager Choi Gang-sik’s message.
“It’s here.”
There it was.
The special ‘address’ that Hae-rang had been waiting for.
His sharp eyes curved gently.
Hae-rang wanted to drive the viewers even more crazy.
The address contained in Choi Gang-sik’s message would make them jump around even more.
“Before the game, there’s an announcement.”
Toward the countless question marks rising in the chat window, Hae-rang flashed a magnificent smile.
