Chapter 349

What kind of weapon is a Rocket Launcher?
It’s not a weapon that deals damage as powerful as an Attached Bomb.
Since there’s the penalty of having to get close to attach it, the damage is balanced by that drawback.
With a Rocket Launcher, you just shoot from a distance.
But does that make it weak? Is it useless?
No.
A Rocket Launcher is a versatile weapon that works in any situation.
It’s excellent for killing enemies during combat.
There’s a slight delay when firing, so you need to predict and aim a bit, but usually if you hit close with even mediocre armor, it’s an instant kill.
It’s also great for bringing down sniper towers.
Of course, as the game progresses to later stages, the materials and structure of sniper towers become sturdier, making it impossible to destroy them with just a small amount of Rocket Launchers alone, but that obstacle can still be overcome with sufficient quantities.
In the current situation, though.
“Surrender! Surrender! Don’t shoot, please!”
Any tower can be brought down with just two shots.
From the moment Seo Jun summoned the Mediator, each team reinforced their outer walls to avoid potential splash damage, but what good does that do?
Materials are limited and the Crafting Station’s Tier isn’t high enough, so there are limits to how much the outer walls can be reinforced.
In other words.
“An excellent choice on your part.”
They can’t hold them back.
Everyone knew well that when Rocket Launchers drop after a Raid in Farming, they’re given in quantities sufficient to turn things to ruin in this current situation.
So even just aiming from this distance is enough to make them surrender.
“Um… Seo Jun… did you catch the Mediator?”
Ha Yun-ho, stepping forward as the representative, widened his eyes in surprise, alternating his gaze between Tae-woo—who was aiming the Rocket Launcher—and Seo Jun.
“Yeah. We caught it, right?”
Since the capture message doesn’t appear on the server.
“Wow… phew. Anyway, you coming here must mean you’re here to collect extortion—I mean, to receive our Goodwill Payment?”
Calling it a “tribute” sounds strange, doesn’t it?
When Seo Jun’s brow furrowed, Ha Yun-ho’s survival instincts immediately grasped what he’d said wrong and corrected himself.
“Ah! Our Goodwill Payment! You came to receive our Goodwill Payment, right!”
“Haha. That’s correct. You don’t need to give everything. Just one-third of all your Resources. Exactly one-third.”
“……….”
Ha Yun-ho swallowed hard in silence.
This really is armed robbery.
But to refuse…
Damn.
“Hahahaha. Understood!”
“Will you bring it?”
“No!”
Ha Yun-ho opened his Inventory and dumped every item he was carrying.
“Exactly one-third. Even if you kill me now, nothing will drop. Really. I know that if I lied, retribution would come.”
“Oh?”
Seo Jun admired this.
The team members around Seo Jun also burst out in admiration.
“Wow?”
“Is this experience talking?”
“Dang, a streamer close to a major corporation really is different.”
You chat users, honestly.
“How did you know we’d demand exactly one-third?”
For a moment, Ha Yun-ho fell under the illusion that he was receiving an approving look from Seo Jun.
‘I’m still the senior one here, though!’
Of course, being praised by Seo Jun felt good—like getting recognition from someone great—but.
Anyway, Ha Yun-ho had already gathered one-third of the Resources from the warehouse and come out before even talking with Seo Jun.
When the scout reported that Seo Jun was aiming his Rocket Launcher, he’d realized he was coming to shake them down like a punk, so he just grabbed it on the way out.
He’d estimated roughly what would be demanded.
Since the Rocket Launcher would only be enough for Seo Jun to loot one house, using that to threaten and rob all the teams would be the way to maximize profit.
And if each Raid team would take that much, then demanding an amount that would make them say “go ahead and take everything” would be a mistake.
The psychological line they’d both agree to, even if it was distasteful.
Both of them understood exactly where the other’s psychological line was.
“Yun-ho, you made an excellent choice. Well then, let’s move on to the next team.”
Seo Jun took their items as casually as if dropping by the neighborhood for a chat.
‘A thug, through and through, honestly…’
Ha Yun-ho was grateful that Seo Jun hadn’t fallen into Korea’s criminal underworld.
He had a strong premonition that if Seo Jun had gone that route in an era when gangsters had become a cheap joke, something would emerge that would dominate the entire nation.
Really, it was fortunate.

* * *

-Ahahaha
-This is seriously brutal
-Hey, you went around collecting protection money, huh? ahahaha

The viewers watched in awe as Seo Jun quickly and effortlessly tore through Resources.
For example, like this.
“What’s up? Ah, first of all, congratulations on the catch.”
When he met another Hunter Team that was making their discomfort obvious—
“Want me to catch you guys too?”
“Tsk, it’s not that we’re scared, it’s just that we’re at a disadvantage…”
He immediately seized the initiative, and.
“Ah, haha, what brings you here?”
With normal teams, he cut right to the point.
“If you give me one-third of your Resources as Goodwill Payment, I’ll just leave. Otherwise, we start the Raid immediately. I’ve already received warm Goodwill Payments from five teams, so I think it’s fine to use up all my Rocket Launchers here and clean you out. You know I have a few Attached Bombs too, right?”
“Ah… hahaha. Oh, you came for a Goodwill Payment! One-third, you say…”
“Should be about right. Just give roughly. But if you try to give too little even by eyeballing it, we start the Raid right away.”
“Yessir!”
Of course, there were about three teams that were too far away or couldn’t come.
If one of them came back after an hour, figuring out the situation and preparing defenses, Seo Jun would also get a headache.
Of course, they could do a Raid after everything was done.
But they’d miss the current opportunity of copying Resources without any loss.
‘Should I make my rounds?’
As Seo Jun headed toward the last team, he asked himself the question.
Once moving to Tier 3, Fortresses start becoming bizarre.
Turrets are placed, structures become complex, and walls grow sturdy.
So if you want to stamp them out, you have to do it now.
From now on, destroying all teams and preventing them from developing and advancing.
Is that possible?
‘It seems possible.’
If he moved extremely tightly.
‘It’d be annoying though. The right call is to reach Tier 4 as fast as possible with the gap I’ve opened up now.’
Things will be rough ahead, but thanks to the protection racket, it’ll go more smoothly than he’d initially thought.
Anyway, they arrived at the last team they’d found—the Slayer Team.
By the way, Seo Jun had planned his route perfectly: having people drop off the Resources they’d collected at home and then rejoin him.

-This crazy son of a bitch, chilling ahahaha
-The dude’s brain is insane too
-He’s literally the team leader ahahaha

“Tae-woo, take it out.”
“Got it.”
Even from a distance—but within sight of the sentries—Tae-woo pulled out the Rocket Launcher.
Seo Jun stood beside him with his arms crossed, waiting, while his team members lined up beside him and began aiming their guns.
“When do you think they’ll come out?”
Ipdakgogamhaja asked, curious.
“Hmm… Two minutes?”
“Yeah, if you average it out, it should be about two minutes.”
“So will the leader come out?”
Ipdakgogamhaja had a lot of questions.
Seo Jun let out a small laugh and replied.
“No way.”
So far, the only team leader who’d come out personally was Ha Yun-ho’s team.
“It really makes you appreciate how great Yun-ho is, reading the intention even before being asked and gathering the exact materials before coming right out.”
Tae-woo chuckled.
Seo Jun agreed.
Anyway, after waiting a moment, the door opened and an unarmed player emerged, approaching them.
“Hello.”
“Yes, hello.”
“Um. May I ask why you’ve come?”
The player from the Slayer Team treated Seo Jun with extreme care.
“Oh, I’d like to talk with Lain. Is that possible?”
“With the leader?”
The player’s eyes widened as he worked hard to figure out why Seo Jun would make such a request.
But that confusion was shared by Seo Jun’s team members too.
Because Seo Jun had never made a request like this before.
Only one group understood: the viewers burst out laughing.

-ahahaha the team leader’s grudge is killer ahahaha
-Didn’t I tell you not to touch him?
-He’s probably about to tell him to come out and apologize ahahaha

“Yes. If he doesn’t come out directly, I’ll turn your team to the Stone Age…”
“Ah! I’ll ask right now!”
Seo Jun waited for the two to talk.
“That Seo Jun?”
“Yes.”
“He says it sounds like it’ll be difficult. If the leader dies, the losses would be too great…”
“That’s right. Of course.”
Seo Jun nodded, acknowledging the point.
The Slayer Team had talented individuals, but the leader was the most skilled and held a critical Position, so.
“It would be hard to take the risk of losing him even once.”
“Haha… thank y—”
“But that’s your concern.”
Seo Jun drew his gun.
“Tell Lain he’s a coward.”
“Wait! We’ve already traded most of our Resources for coins and lost those too, so—”
Bang!
Seo Jun killed the player.
Last is that kind of place.
The sight of things running peacefully and receiving Goodwill Payments had been the unusual thing.
Seo Jun accepted this calmly.
If they wouldn’t cooperate and kept being troublesome.
“Don’t care about Resources being low.”
Seo Jun said, speaking to the corpse.

-‘Cause he didn’t come for Resources, he came for revenge ahahaha
-Man’s got a grudge ahahaha

Still, more than half the Resources should remain.
“Everyone, let’s turn the Slayer Team to the Stone Age.”

-Stone Age ahahaha
-ahahaha knew it was coming
-Out of nowhere like this ahahaha raid starting ahahaha
-The team leader’s hard to block right now
-Surrendering one-third wasn’t for nothing
-Lain’s scared stiff now? haha

“Scared?”

[Man vs Gamer Last Day 3 Summary]
==
A new method of capturing the Mediator has appeared in the world.
Though it existed in the realm of “maybe” from before, no one had ever executed it properly, and the method had been shelved.
It’s a method so difficult that even Baek Do-yul continues to fail and make mistakes, yet “that person” hasn’t failed once, leading Last users into misconception.
It’s recommended that many Last servers not be entered for a while.
==

-Why shouldn’t we go in?
└Because idiots will try to catch it themselves and summon the Mediator on the server ahahaha
└Ah right ahahaha guess I shouldn’t play for a while

[Let’s see each team’s judgment]
==
Ryan and Bear = Stayed far away. Judgment (Excellent)
Ha Yun-ho = Got taken for minimum loss, but positioned himself at a distance after knowing he’d be targeted. Judgment (Average)
Slayer = Touched “that person” and met the Stone Age (Worst)
==

-Civilization reset ahahaha
-Dude fought really well though
-Slayer ahahaha actually kinda sad

Seo Jun’s team Raided the Slayer Team, defeated them overwhelmingly, looted their Resources, and focused on Tier 3 Farming.
No other team dared interfere with Seo Jun’s team’s Tier 3 Raids while they held the Rocket Launchers.
Since they hadn’t used them all up during the Raid, the weapon Seo Jun possessed could create numerous variables not just in Siege Warfare but on its own.
Their Fortress, having absorbed the Resources, naturally strengthened.
“So you’ve positioned Turrets too? Real luxuriously? But you’re not showing the house structure?”
Seo Jun and Tae-woo, while streaming, turned off the broadcast whenever they entered the house.
So everyone knew the house had been expanded, but not what defensive structure they’d use.
This meant something else.
“It’s dangerous.”
Hunter Team.
They, who’d established the Hunter system itself, were named the Hunter Team.

[That’s right. If he’s relaxed, he’d probably openly show it and say “try to conquer it.”]
[We can’t think he’ll let us take our Resources without any problem.]

“Even if we don’t lose when heading to Tier 4, we should deliver despair, right?”
Day 4. They collect weapon items while doing Tier 3 Raids.
The other side would be too busy farming Resources.
And on Day 5, they attack and shatter the Tier 4 plan.
Just that alone could force Seo Jun’s team to retire.
The Plunderers, Hunter Team, Special Forces Team.
The three teams properly teamed up and began crafting strategy, and so Day 4 passed quietly like the calm before the Storm.
To a degree everyone could feel that atmosphere.
“An ant.”
But one person alone.
“Today too. Whoa! Sulfur dropped again!”
Passed it loudly.
And complaints began to emerge about Seo Jun, who’d spent Day 4 wastefully just farming Resources instead of making moves toward Tier 4.
But then, as the finishing touch, once Seo Jun came outside after Day 4 ended, Donations from the opposing teams echoed through the broadcast, and.
Seo Jun’s lips began to curve upward.
