Host Bar’s Unique Combat Style

【 1st Place Lee Mung-ryong 】

【 2nd Place Leruri 】

【 3rd Place Jung Gom-sang 】

【 4th Place Kim Kim-cheong 】

【 5th Place Cheol Gang-mon 】

【 6th Place Barabin 】

.

.

.

Starting with me appearing in 1st place.

The rankings from 2nd to 10th place appeared in order, based on current cash holdings.

With only one day left until the vote.

Despite everyone having gathered their money in one place to some extent, the fact that I was in 1st place.

‘This means I’ve become the game changer.’

It meant the entire landscape of the representative election could change because of me alone.

In that case, any group wanting to become representative would have to choose one of two options.

On voting day.

Either kill me outright so I can’t even vote.

Or if not that.

Ring ring ring ring.

“Hello?”

-“Mung-ryong, don’t we have something to discuss?”

Win me over.

Ding.

Ding.

Ding.

– Wow look at how fast those missed calls are piling up lololololol

– They never would have thought that the guy dating a girl during voting prep period would be 1st in cash holdings lolololololol

– Chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter

– Countless groups wanting Lee Mung-ryong the day before voting

– Mungop’s popularity is blooming for real♥

– Mungop♡ You’re so cool I’m clapping like a seal with my fins ㅠㅠㅠ

– If you need Dong Zhuo cosplay instead of Zhuge Liang cosplay, just say the word, I can prepare it right away♥

Countless missed calls pouring in and the current phone conversation happening right now.

All of this was exactly as I had expected.

In that case, there was only one thing I needed to do here.

“Huh? I don’t think we have anything to talk about?”

Click.

Hanging up the phone and completely ignoring all the other calls.

That was my answer.

– Huh? You’re not going under anyone?

– Wouldn’t it be best to go under them and then backstab them?

– Mungi, what the hell are you thinking?

– ?

– ?

– Even if they say you can go alone, you definitely won’t even be able to get near the Voting Hall and will die, right?

The Viewers were puzzled.

But I had no choice.

‘If I go under the Major Corporation and then a small fry backstabs me, what am I going to do about the atmosphere in my broadcast room then?’

Viewers generally want the streamer they’re watching to be the protagonist.

It was such an obvious thing to say.

Broadcasters give viewers immersion and entertainment.

And viewers get absorbed in the immersion and entertainment that broadcasters provide.

In that sense, the person who just called me has an average of about 8,000 viewers.

So in terms of weight class difference, it’s a situation where my wrist could easily get twisted.

Even without meeting them, it was pretty obvious what they would talk about.

‘I have a lot of money, the Major Corporation needs my money… they probably need my money to become the protagonist.’

But then I’d just end up as a component.

Well, I might become their right-hand man, or since I supported their representative, I could get a position under them.

But.

[Current Viewer Count: 231]

What about the 231 people in my room?

They’re staying in my room because they want to see me succeed.

Turn my back on 231 people just to look good to one Major Corporation member? That’s impossible.

Moreover.

‘The viewers who watched me during my small fry days… they all told me to become the representative.’

I won’t mention specific nicknames.

But I couldn’t betray the viewers who had been watching me since the early days of my broadcast.

So then, what am I going to do in conclusion?

How the hell am I going to become the representative?

– No, if you’re not going under someone to backstab them later, do you have a method?

– Right now neither the Police nor the Gang Boss can help you ;;;

– The Hospital side is also neutral so they can’t move rashly, they withdrew separately because so many people died back then

If the Viewers ask like that.

“I have to prove it the same way I’ve lived my life.”

I had no choice but to show them through actions.

“Ruri, it’s me, Mung-ryong.”

I’ll show you the Host Bar’s Unique Combat Style.

– Wow… so in the end he’s going to cling to a woman?

– So you’re saying he’s going to seduce the Hospital Faction now?

– Isn’t this too cowardly?

I ignored the chat room.

++++++++

“Lee Mung-ryong rejected our call.”

The situation is strange.

The streamers naturally expected Lee Mung-ryong to join under another organization and take on the role of kingmaker.

That would have been the most effective and comfortable way to build recognition.

But Lee Mung-ryong didn’t do that.

He ignored everyone’s calls.

As if he really intended to come out alone.

“It seems like he’s also thinking of becoming a representative, and just… just by himself.”

“Is that possible? I thought you couldn’t run as a candidate alone?”

“Mung-ryong’s Host Bar had 5 people, but it got burned down and is suspended from business… and even after that ended, the owner hasn’t been coming to work, so he’s not accepting resignation letters either. So practically, Mung-ryong’s Host Bar is currently judged to be in a state of operating with 5 or more people.”

“But if the employees refuse…”

“Do you think the host bar employees thought this far ahead from the beginning? It’s such a sloppy group that no such procedures are needed – if the representative wants to run, he can just run.”

I’m not sure what method he’ll use.

But it didn’t matter anyway.

“We can just kill him when he comes to vote, then it’s over.”

“Right, that was the plan from the beginning anyway? We just kill them all. Everyone except our side!”

“The Hospital Faction is neutral so don’t touch them… yeah, that’ll work, the plan remains the same.”

“Don’t we need to recruit Leruri?”

“She’s 2nd in wealth, but the Hospital Faction didn’t put up a candidate anyway and declared neutrality… it’s fine, we don’t need to worry about it.”

“Besides… no matter how much the Hospital acts up, they don’t have weapons, right? If push comes to shove, we can just… well, you know?”

Because we can just kill them and be done with it.

It’s just one person.

What could one person possibly do?

‘I understand his feelings, it’s not easy to establish yourself through RP in such a large server… and in that state, it would be even harder to go under someone else.’

‘Yeah, if you don’t want to end up as a nobody, sometimes you have to try going solo like this, but this time it’s too reckless.’

This isn’t some game with fantasy elements.

It’s not the type where you can handle everything alone through force.

I understood his feelings, but I could only think it was reckless.

“We just shoot everyone except our team until the voting deadline, then we vote…”

“The Hospital Faction said they’d enter the Voting Hall after the voting deadline, so we can consider them completely neutral.”

“Wait, that’s how it works? So if you die, your voting rights disappear too? Or should I say you can’t spend money?”

“Right, so it might be good for everyone to split a certain amount of money among ourselves.”

The team strategies were similar.

Either go all-in on one person and thoroughly protect them, or hide them to let them vote.

Or safely distribute assets to everyone at a fixed ratio.

What was certain was that anyone who was an enemy would be shot dead in the process of entering the voting location.

This naturally created a structure where having more people was advantageous.

The Yoran Garden server was busy making phone calls to recruit people to their teams.

“But I’m a bit worried since they didn’t specify exactly what it means that voting rights can be bought with money.”

“Right, if we divide the money, in the worst case we might not be able to afford the voting rights.”

“What if someone buys… what do you call it? What if they buy someone else’s already cast vote?”

“What?”

“Buying voting rights… they didn’t say exactly what kind of voting rights either.”

Various speculations were exchanged, but since nothing was written in the announcement.

People could only focus on preparing for war.

Throwing away the shackles of love~

Lee Mung-ryong’s truthful, hey, this is amazing~ yo!

Making the number 4 a lucky~ number~!

Lee Mung-ryong’s number 4! Lee Mung-ryong’s number 4!

Making the number 4 a lucky~ numberrrrrr~!

Lee Mung-ryong’s number 4! Lee Mung-ryong’s number 4!

Advocating law, love, and peace in Yoran Gardennnnn~!

Making the number 4 a lucky~ numberrrrrr~!

Lee Mung-ryong has arriveddddd~!

Starting with Lee Mung-ryong’s hastily AI-generated campaign song spreading through the streets.

The full-scale representative election war had begun.

++++++

【 The election to choose Yoran Garden’s representative will now begin. 】

【 The time is 20:00 based on game time. 】

【 Voting is impossible while dead, so be careful not to die! 】

【 The official Yoran Garden Voting Hall is now open! 】

Creeeeak.

The doors of Yoran Garden’s National Assembly Building, which would never normally open, swing open.

As soon as those doors opened.

Ratatatatata!

Budududududu!

As if they had been waiting, gunfire fills the surrounding area.

Each group carrying their own circumstances, trying to make their representative the true representative of Yoran Garden.

“Shoot! Keep shooting!”

“Kill them! Kill them all!”

“Just throw the grenades boldly!”

“Don’t hesitate! Everyone except us is the enemy! Just kill them! Just kill!”

They pump bullets into the bodies of people who were playing together harmoniously just days ago.

– Kya hahahahaha

– The tension is really this this real bb

– This is it

– Let’s go~ Let’s go~

– Option 1, Option 1~

– This is the power of the number 1 Police

The Police had always shown strong firepower based on their powerful weapons.

– What’s the point of having good weapons when playing as police is just fucking boring anyway ㅇㅇ

– There’s no people because it’s not fun, right? haha

– Even with good firepower, the people who can use it are limited lol

The Gang had many members because they could develop RP relatively more freely.

Of course, the completely different faction Civilian Group also joined this war.

But they had relatively little money, so they used trucks or taxis, which were like their assets, as weapons.

– Let’s burn our assets refreshingly

– Yeah, if I don’t become the representative anyway, I’ll just check the temperature at Yoran Garden valley and call it a day ㅇㅇ

– Kill them~ Kill the civilians~ There are no civilians, so what are you gonna do if you become king?

It’s chaotic.

Stray bullets fly and knock people down one by one, never knowing when you might die.

And how much time had passed?

To the point where they thought if they died any more, they might not even be able to vote.

When the numbers had decreased significantly.

Vrooooom!

A strange vehicle suddenly enters the National Assembly Building.

“What is that, what’s that vehicle?”

“Lee Mung-ryong! It’s Lee Mung-ryong!”

“How did he get in?! There are 1st and 2nd defense lines?”

“Those disappeared long ago! We gathered everyone here because we were afraid of being pushed back!”

“…!”

Lee Mung-ryong.

The being who currently holds the most cash in Yoran Garden.

But a loner who doesn’t belong to any faction.

Ratatatatatata!

Somehow, somehow he brought a vehicle all the way inside the National Assembly Building.

He stopped right in front of the voting area.

But the vehicle quickly exploded from the barrage of bullets that flew without delay.

Bang!

With that sound, Lee Mung-ryong’s corpse pathetically flies out of the car.

– What is this

– You rejected all those proposals just to do something like that?

– The corpse went in front of the Voting Hall lol

– What’s the point of having money when there’s no faction to vote safely with that money

– For real

The voting method had already been revealed through several skirmishes.

During fights, one or two people would inevitably slip away.

They managed to succeed in voting by taking advantage of those gaps.

As a result.

“The voting method is… you can really buy other people’s votes too. Literally Voting Rights… you can buy all of it.”

“With money?”

“Yes, with money.”

They learned a shocking fact.

That even the same one vote wouldn’t be the same one vote.

Voting rules that completely defied basic voting common sense were revealed in Yoran Garden.

“So voting is… one vote… exactly one vote, but that vote can buy one vote based on your entire fortune.”

“But if you have more money than that vote… you can buy that vote and also cast your own vote separately?”

“Yes.”

Assuming your entire fortune is 1,000 won.

That person’s Voting Rights would cost 1,000 won.

But what if someone else owns more money than 1,000 won?

It meant they could buy the 1,000 won vote and also cast their own vote separately.

So each candidate couldn’t rashly go to the Voting Hall.

Not only did they not know the exact amount their opponents had.

But if they died on the way, everything would be over.

The representative candidates of each Group precariously held out until just before voting time.

They strategized to vote just seconds before the deadline.

And it would be even better if they killed other candidates before that.

So they kept shooting guns, killing each other, keeping each other in check, and watching for opportunities.

Time passed quickly and it was already 7:30 PM.

Less than 30 minutes left until voting.

Each organization did their best to escort their candidates and safely guide them to the Voting Hall.

– Too many people died

– Wow, even the kids who had a lot of money all died ㅠㅠ

– So how many hundred million do we have in total? About 400 million?

– We have 400 million and they have 300 million?

– If the kids hadn’t died, we really would have made more, but with a 100 million difference, you really can’t tell

– But didn’t they go in too early? There’s about 30 minutes left

– It’s not based on real time but game time, so 30 minutes goes by quickly ㅇㅇ

So all the representative candidates from each Group safely finished voting.

At 7:40 PM, when everyone was relaxing and waiting only for the results.

Beep beep beep beep beep.

The Hospital Faction dispatched ambulances and nurses to revive the fallen people.

The moment to taste the miracle of the game function that brings the dead back to life.

– But voting hasn’t closed yet, so why is the Hospital side already coming in?

One of the viewers raised this question.

But that question was quickly buried by the rapidly rising chat rush.

7:50 PM.

“…Chainsaw Mung, I… actually have never saved anyone before.”

Hospital Director Leruri revives Lee Mung-ryong, who had collapsed and died helplessly in front of the Voting Hall.

“You’re the hospital director, what are you saying…”

Lee Mung-ryong revived.

7:55 PM.

Lee Mung-ryong enters the Voting Hall.

After entering the Voting Hall, he sweeps up all the Voting Rights cast up to that point using his existing cash plus Leruri’s cash.

8:00 PM.

Voting closes.

【 Lee Mung-ryong Elected 】

“Th-they said it was the Neutral Zone! The Hospital is a neutral faction! But you seduced them?”

“Are you insane? What! What is this!”

“Lee Mung-ryong! You bastard… you planned this from the beginning?”

“Hey you cowardly bastard!”

Everyone was shocked by the sudden theft of the presidency and vented their anger at Lee Mung-ryong.

“Cowardly?”

Lee Mung-ryong said indifferently.

“You’re talking nonsense.”

Wrapping his arm around Leruri’s waist.

“Did you think you were dealing with a saint?”

He smiled deeply.

It was the moment the Host Bar President was born.

Now, it was time to fulfill his campaign promises.
