Chapter 333

[No-Answer Team Member Briefing 1. Jo Seok’s Edition.]
==
Jo Seok is a viewer with all the hallmark traits of a typical No-Answer Team member that people commonly talk about.
He bets unconditionally on Seo Jun.
You know what that means, right?

No matter how unfavorable or strange the bet’s terms are, it doesn’t matter to him.
He just bets everything—and I mean everything—that Seo Jun will win. He goes all in.
Don’t understand why he does it?
Well, if you look at how Jo Seok has multiplied his points, it’s not incomprehensible either.

It all started with our leader’s first joint broadcast, a points prediction that took place on Alpaca’s stream.
The bet was whether the leader could discover “the secret,” and Jo Seok wagered three years’ worth of accumulated points on Seo Jun finding four or more secrets.
The payout ratio on success was 100 times, and Jo Seok had put down 250,000 points.
The guy’s insane.
Said he’d been saving for years.

And the result?
He became the owner of 25 million points and ascended to the status of Trabol’s wealthiest man.
But that’s not where it ended.
This bastard threw all his points down one more time.
30 million points.
Five million had been gathered earlier when he was bored—he’d made reverse bets of 250,000 points and gotten lucky, something about duplication—anyway, he threw down 30 million points.
On the Wealth Gap in the Lios championship team.
The payout was 4.5 times.
And the result?

He became a Supreme Being.

That’s right.
Jo Seok acted like a No-Answer Team member to anyone watching, but because of that, he became a Supreme Being.
You can’t say anything even if he bets unconditionally on Seo Jun.
This Supreme Being is the first member.
His game skill is surprisingly around the level of the Assassination Guild’s veteran players, so he might have the physical chops too.
The special note is that he’s the leader’s manager.
Last is in training.
Currently a NEET.
But he’s got plenty of points anyway.
Let’s have a drink to that.
==

[No-Answer Team Member Briefing 2. Shut Up and Game Edition.]
==
Just a madman, plain and simple.
He was picked from the leader’s chat for flooding the channel with messages?
Second place had 40,000 messages, but this bastard sent 112,347 of them.
Total No-Answer Team material.
His username itself is “Shut Up and Game.”
Though it’s nothing unusual to see people with names like that turn out to be the loudest and most easily triggered in games, more than double second place’s messages is something else entirely.
Some viewers watching the stream even asked, “What’s up with that ID? Why does it keep showing up?”
That’s right.
He’s a NEET too.
This one’s definitely authentic.
==

[No-Answer Team Member Briefing 3. Rich Person Edition.]
==
His username is just “Rich Person.”
Looking at when he joined, it wasn’t that long ago.
He must’ve bought the username.
Because he’s rich.
How rich, you ask?
The amount he’s donated to the leader is 20 million won.
Yeah, that’s right.
Exactly.
The leader squeezed 20 million won out of one person.
Pretty impressive, right?
No wait, that’s not the point anyway.
He’s rich.

But looking at other metrics, he’d have to be a NEET.
What does that mean?
Ahhhhhhh!
I’m seriously so jealous lol This guy’s the winner.
Jo Seok’s a little envious, honestly, but this guy’s the one I’m most jealous of.
I’m not even jealous of the leader for receiving 20 million won.
Just this guy. Him alone.
Let’s see what he does.
Be ready.
==

-If you had money but no notoriety, that’s when you truly live happily, and this guy’s done for now lol
└I’m already dying over here lol
└Be ready. Face, background, everything gets dug up
└lololololololol you crazy bastards lol

Every time a new member was announced, the No-Answer Team briefing series posts went up right away.
Quick, as if they’d been prepared in advance.
And just like the comments on the third member’s briefing, people ground their teeth.
Though to be fair, they were joking.
How could they not grit their teeth in envy?
That kind of life—one you could see anytime you turned on a broadcast.
And the wealth to flex on the leader with donations while watching him.
In any case, even if people were speaking in jest, a real problem could’ve arisen.
“Is there perhaps something shameful in your past? If so, you’ll need to be careful.”
Seo Jun wasn’t trying to drag him into a broadcast crusade for justice, so he offered the warning.
‘In reality, people with more to lose tend to be more cautious, so if there was a genuine problem, the odds of him applying would be low though….’
Still, not knowing for sure, he warned him beforehand.
People don’t think and act that deeply anyway.
He might have applied just assuming it wouldn’t happen.
And the answer came quickly.
Via donation.
He’s living up to his name.

[‘Rich Person’ has donated 100,000 won!]
[If I were active enough to cause problems like that, would I really be watching the leader’s stream that much? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

‘Definitely no problems then.’
Seo Jun nodded silently.
It was a matter of respect.
You had to preserve the honor of a trustworthy viewer.

[‘Rich Person’ has donated 100,000 won!]
[That makes it even worse! At least say something!]

-Nods
-Nods
-Yeah, if he were a troublemaker, he’d never watch the leader’s stream like that
-That lifestyle would only be possible if you were literally one with your bed, right?
-Facts lol
-You’re innocent lol
-No matter how rich you are, if you watch that much, you’re definitely a shut-in lol

‘An internet phantom, you might say.’
These kinds of people—even if their old graduation photos got exposed to the world, their YouTube and community comment histories absolutely could never see the light of day.
He didn’t think ill of them; he just figured if they’d just be a bit careful about that one thing, it should be fine.
“Now for the fourth member.”
He’d picked half of six.
Manager, chat spammer, donor.
The next factor that wouldn’t incite backlash from viewers was simple:
“Login frequency.”
Login frequency.
Once viewers logged in, unless Seo Jun specifically ordered them to raid Tae-woo’s room, there was no reason for them to leave, so generally this metric didn’t spike high.
“Who can’t sit still? We’ll see that.”
That’s why he picked this.
These people logged in without fail every single day, so numerically they’d be the highest viewers.
But most would’ve settled in steadily to watch this room, so no one would stand out dramatically.
Who’d been jumping in and out the most?
“It should be pretty competitive, don’t you think? Haha.”
Seo Jun sorted the login frequency table in ascending order this time.
He didn’t look at last place; he scrolled down until roughly 100 people remained, then started checking.
“Wow, the login frequency is quite high, huh?”
Around 230.
That was the number that came up when someone showed up at his room without fail every day and logged out and back in at least once per day.
“Dozens of people living this frantic a life.”
Since Seo Jun’s broadcast viewing time was already substantial, people watching multiple broadcasters weren’t likely among them, and each probably had their own reasons.
“Now, for first place!”
He scrolled all the way down.
The number jumped dramatically.
Second place was still around 230, but first place was in the thousands.
An impossible number.
What in the world.
“Huh?”
The moment Seo Jun saw the first-place username, his eyes widened.
“This Is Not Martial Arts?”
It was a username he hadn’t heard in a long time.
“Yeah.”

-Welcome back, master
-Of course only No-Answer Team gets picked lol
-So This Is Not Martial Arts was a NEET too? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ lol
-Who’s this guy anyway? Nerds
-If you don’t know, check out the leader’s “I beat down a master at For the Sect” video

A top-tier Ranker from within the top 10 of For the Sect rankings, though he had a distinctly unique concept. He’d clashed with Seo Jun and even had descriptions posted to community boards when Seo Jun deployed his Dull Blade technique.
He was a concept player of serious commitment.
“Ah, I had no idea you were watching my broadcast this diligently. That aside, I’m curious why you logged in and out so frequently. Well anyway. Are you here right now?”
Seo Jun created a private chat room using a command.
“Are you the person we met back at For the Sect?”

[This Is Not Martial Arts: That’s correct. It’s been a while. Delighted to see you.]

“Yes, it’s been a while.”
He should ask directly then.
“Why did you log in so many times?”

[This Is Not Martial Arts: That is…… a secret I cannot reveal even to the Supreme Being.]

What?
“When did I become a Supreme Being?”
Seo Jun muttered in momentary bewilderment, and the viewers caught it with uncanny precision.

-lololol the leader is definitely a Supreme Being lol
-Supreme Being of Demons…… we must worship!
-This Is Not Martial Arts coming back for immediate revenge
-This Is Not Martial Arts, the professor who so meticulously nitpicked the pathologies of For the Sect’s obsession with finding powerful sects lol

Ahem.
Seo Jun cleared his throat and spoke.
“If you won’t say why you were logging in and out so much, then you won’t be picked.”
He was genuinely curious why someone had logged in a thousand times.

[This Is Not Martial Arts: My apologies. I shall explain in detail to the Supreme Being.]
[This Is Not Martial Arts: The truth is, whenever I watched the Supreme Being’s sword technique, some inspiration would come to me, so I’d pick up the sword quite often.]

“From home?”

[This Is Not Martial Arts: Yes, it’s embarrassing.]
[This Is Not Martial Arts: Since I barely ever leave, I suspect that repeatedly pausing for extended periods and then resuming got counted as multiple logins.]

“I see.”

-Nice! All those practice sessions coming back to give him an opportunity
-Human triumph!
-Well, except he turned out to be a NEET too!

“So this person’s a NEET as well. Though, thinking about it…”
If someone’s at the absolute peak of a single game with nothing but talent, then considering a pro gaming career would be reasonable.
Whether you’re a student or a NEET.
“So we’ve got four No-Answer Team members together. Then the fifth is!”

* * *

[No-Answer Team Member Briefing 4. This Is Not Martial Arts Edition.]
==
Top-tier skilled player within the top 10 of For the Sect rankings. But seriously committed to his concept—in Last, you die screaming if you’re caught with a sword while guns exist.
So this bastard’s got his flaw too. The guns thing—he’ll obviously refuse out of pride, spouting doctrine, right?
And he’s a NEET.
Definitely No-Answer Team material.
lololololololol
==

“Hahaha. No, Seo Jun’s broadcast is really hopeless, isn’t it? That’s what we like to hear.”
Tae-woo was in the room right next door, watching the public judgment broadcast unfold, giggling as he streamed.
He was boldly a co-host.
Even as he munched on snacks, scattering crumbs, Tae-woo kept his eyes glued to the monitor.
What kind of legend would emerge as the next member?
“Gamers all have such romantic spirits, man. Truly. They’re No-Answer Team, but I actually like it.”
Supportive chat messages rolled in.
The synergy these people would create was intriguing, to say the least.
“I’m curious too, but there’s also something pitiful about it. Why pitiful? Because once they go in there, they’re obviously going to do nothing but work. The teammates will be homebody protectors while the leader slaves away—I mean really slaves—and a coup is impossible. You’re glued to it for 24 hours?”
Right as Tae-woo was recoiling and shaking his head, Seo Jun spoke.

[The fifth member will be selected by vote. Viewers, anyone you remember, just pick them. Let’s keep voting until someone gets chosen. Anyone’s fine. I’ll make it work. If it’s really impossible, then so be it, but if they’re a NEET!]

“Huh?”
Tae-woo, seized by unease, slowly blinked his eyes twice, wide.
“No, right? Ah, really no way. You mean viewers, right? Ah.”
The chat’s atmosphere felt ominous.
You.
Chats like “Right now you’re watching Seo Jun’s broadcast while freeloading off your own stream…. You’re not a viewer?” popped up.

-lololol let’s go
-Yooo watch this room’s viewers vanish in an instant lol
-Everybody go vote!!!
-Unite behind Kim Tae-woo, guys!

The fifth No-Answer Team member.
Kim Tae-woo let out a bloodcurdling scream.
“Ah, I seriously don’t wanna be a slave! Stop voting! That’s seriously hell, I’m telling you?”
