Episode 356

Seo Jun surveyed the 5th Floor now that the smoke had cleared.
The wall he’d just gripped, the weapon he’d stepped on, the Frying Pan he’d set down, and countless bullet marks covered an entire floor.
Some of the bullets came from earlier fights, but Seo Jun could roughly distinguish the marks that had just been made.
He ran his hand across the wall surface, leisurely replaying the battle in his mind, savoring the moment.
He planned to wait until Baek Do-yul filled him in on what happened next.
And there was only one thing to do in the meantime.
The corner of Seo Jun’s mouth lifted playfully as he traced the wall with his hand.
“Hmm, does anyone know when all these folks passed away? I was planning to fight once the smoke cleared, but they’re all gone. What’s going on?”
Right.
This was the time to talk complete nonsense.

-HAHAHAHAHA You set off the Smoke Screen yourself, boss
-The guy who wants to fight when the smoke clears is standing on the 5th Floor after it clears? LMAOOOOO
-Oh, did the unconscious Seo Jun drop by for a sec?
-Unconscious Seo Jun! Unconscious Seo Jun! Unconscious Seo Jun!

“Well, I really have no idea? Though there is one thing I’m pretty sure about.”
Seo Jun knew that his viewers always responded well to him in moments like this.
“What is it, you ask? That would be…”
Right on cue, Baek Do-yul’s voice crackled through the radio.

[Sir, Ryan is waving a White Flag! He says they’re leaving all the Resources behind!]

It was a declaration of victory.

-Oh lmao all the attacking teams got wiped? That’s for sure given the boss’s personality
-Real. That guy would never stand for it

* * *

The Raid ended in Seo Jun’s victory.

[Dammit! There’s no way we’re not surrendering lmaooooooo]
==
We got absolutely demolished!
Completely destroyed in an instant!
lol the Special Forces all coming back to life and panicking is genuinely terrifying
==

-Lol right
-What now? Retribution’s coming lololol
-Everyone says they didn’t know what hit them then suddenly realize something and agree to surrender with eye contact LMAOOO
└-It’s scarier that they kept fighting when they didn’t even know what they were hit with

As Seo Jun climbed floor after floor at incredible speed, his viewers had sensed victory.

[Did the boss really grit his teeth back then? LMAOOOOOOOOOOO]
==
But how could he win? Even if the boss was careless three times over, he’d barely win.
==

-He drew his sword? It’s over.
└Real. The boss not drawing his sword and being careless three times over would barely let him win lolol
-Cut!
-Who’s an ordinary person?

And now that the Raid was over, no one could deny that the Frying Pan was a sword.

[The Frying Pan is a sword! Sign here immediately!]

-The Frying Pan is a sword!
-But did you guys properly see how that sword was used?
└Are you talking about the last one?
└Yeah
└That thing was used amazingly lol
└Real. So it IS a sword, man

To deny it would be to invite the wrath of the crowd.
But apart from the Frying Pan being recognized as a sword, people were curious.

[So the last one wasn’t some kind of hack?]
==
He blocked everything with a Frying Pan? And caught them all?
It’s harder to see, which makes it even more suspicious.
Is that even possible?
==

Inside the Smoke Screen, a player could only see the person directly in front of them, and even then dimly.
Even looking down at one’s own hands wasn’t clear.
Seo Jun’s Frying Pan’s trajectory was captured on the broadcast, but the problem was that his movements were far too fast.

[We need a Munschal analysis, right?]

Viewers would submit videos they didn’t understand to streamers with some credibility, referencing a famous lawyer’s content style — this was called Munschal analysis.
In the old days, people would even place bets on these analyses, engaging in Gambling-like behavior that went too far.
It had been a trend once.
Excess in anything causes problems, and if something becomes trendy, many people encounter it, which is inevitable.
That it would spiral into excess was only natural.
Of course, it had faded by now.
But since Munschal had swept through the gaming scene, most Korean users knew about it well, and it was only natural that it would spread overseas too.

[Let’s do a Munschal analysis!]
==
Koreans are already taking estimates on this, apparently.
Wondering who to entrust it with.
==

-What’s Munschal?
└Check the post below
-Who should we really entrust this to?
└Yeah, that’s the real question
└└Aren’t there quite a few people who could explain it in detail?
└└└We can’t see it though? Like, we literally can’t see it? Just because someone’s an expert doesn’t mean they can see that either
└└└└But still. That player caught them all, so an expert should at least see something
-It’s definitely a hack
-Munschal! We need Munschal!

The usual hacking suspicions disappeared without becoming any real controversy — Seo Jun’s fans just took it in stride.
What remained was the question: which streamer should they entrust Korea’s traditional cultural practice of Munschal analysis to?
That was it.

[Won’t some streamer step up and volunteer?]

But what mattered to Seo Jun right now was something else entirely.

* * *

“Just wait,” Seo Jun said firmly to Baek Do-yul.
His body was already moving naturally.
Replay the 5th Floor?
No need. He descended the Stairway.

The voices of his teammates, who had been listening quietly, erupted all at once.

[That’s genuinely frightening!]
[I’m, I’m scared too.]
[Seo Jun’s doing great!]

He ordered them to Loot the corpses at the Main Base, arm themselves, and begin reconstructing the Outer Wall.

A hint of satisfaction crept into Seo Jun’s voice.

No, that wasn’t it.

-Please tell us, Seo Jun lol at least YOU should know
-It’s got to be Acoustic Visualization right
-But it was too loud for that, if he focused on acoustics his eardrums would rupture

Primitive humans came into view.
An Avatar with no equipment was essentially no different from running around in underwear.
At the start of the game, players were given basic clothing, so these primitives appeared near Fortresses that had regressed to the Stone Age.
It was common knowledge in Last.
Among them, Ryan still looked quite formidable.
A bald man looks like an expert in any field, doesn’t he?
In a primitive society, he’d probably have been elected leader based purely on that powerful image.
Anyway.
“Good to see you. I see a few of the Plunderers have been reborn here.”
Winner and loser met.
Seo Jun smiled wickedly.
“You poured all your Resources into this Raid, correct?”
Three Forward Bases had been destroyed, so their stockpiled Resources were gone.
The fourth Forward Base would have few items left, given that those who had died and returned to fight were numerous.
And the Resources that had accumulated through all the dying and killing — their team had claimed it all as the Plunderers’ Main Base fell.
In short?
“Well… we left some behind, but not much, I’m afraid.”
“I see. A shame, isn’t it? You came all this way just to lose together with us. Doesn’t that seem pointless?”
“Yes, it does. So why did you call us here?”
“Hmm…”
As Seo Jun slowly surveyed them, those standing there swallowed hard.
They had decided to stay because if they were going to face retribution, they wanted it here and decisive, so the resentment would be cleansed.
If a full war broke out?
If it became a war rather than a one-sided Raid, they would have far, far better odds.
Even a prolonged engagement would be the same.
Yet still, the premonition came that they would lose.
So they would settle it here and focus on what they could do — since it had become clear they couldn’t beat Seo Jun in combat, they would target other fields intensively.
There were many teams in here.
If all those teams focused intensively on Survival, Seo Jun’s team might fail to earn Achievements in other fields, and then there would still be a chance.
So Seo Jun’s next Choice mattered, and he spoke.
“You want a smooth resolution, don’t you?”
“Indeed we do.”
The Plunderers’ leader wore a bitter expression.
“Of course.”
Bear chuckled softly.
“Haha, fighting Sir Seo Jun is clearly not the right move.”
Ryan grinned widely.
The bald one was strong indeed.
To laugh with genuine joy in a situation like this.
Seo Jun nodded and spoke.
The atmosphere was good anyway.
“If you’ll just do one thing for me, I won’t care about what happened today any further.”
“What would that be?”
“You’re not asking us to help with some Achievement, are you?”
Would he really ask for something like that?
Seo Jun shook his head firmly.
He had planned this from the start.
“Doesn’t it bother you that one team is conspicuously absent while you’re all cleaning up here?”
This was about maintaining broadcast credibility.
Ryan, catching the hint perfectly, laughed loudly.
“Hahaha! You’re absolutely right! It does bother me! Yes!”

-LMAOOOOOOO

-That’s crossing the line with Provocation lol
-Lloyd’s done for!

“The Plunderers feel the same, yes?”

“What’s that?”
“The Hunter Team was originally our enemy.”
The Plunderers’ leader’s expression turned bitter.
They had dodged the backlash entirely.
“Good. I believe there’s one team that deserves to be set back to the Stone Age. Do you agree?”
“Yes.”
“Shall we Raid them? The three of us. Or four with Ha Yun-ho’s team already in progress?”
They armed themselves immediately and departed.

* * *

[Why Ha Yun-ho’s Hunter Team Went on the Raid]

The boss apparently threatened them to attack if he thought he could win.
And the timing Ha Yun-ho went to attack = when he confirmed that the two missing players were gathering Tier 4 materials
Ha Yun-ho what? A genius?
He already knew he’d win back then?
==

-Did you know? If he hadn’t done that, the boss would’ve ended up dragging the Plunderers and Special Forces to hit Ha Yun-ho’s team at the end lololol

[Ha Yun-ho cheers when the boss arrives as he’s getting pushed back.]

Some Hunter Team players are already dying so he’s defending his own Fortress, cursing them out with his eyes, then the boss shows up with three teams and he’s overjoyed.
==

-They’re gonna breach the Main Base soon

[But hey, why hasn’t a single person stepped up to do Munschal? There was real heat on the overseas communities, right? What’s going on? What’s really going on?]
