53. [Blood Born] Isn’t This Just an Excellent Means of Communication? (2)
“───By any chance, are there any of you here who want to take on additional missions?”
-Joo Seo-jin
-‘Collection Time’ on
I knew it, you bastard hahahahahaha
Haha, damn it lol
I can’t help but laugh at the water gun moving, lol
“They said they’d hold back well since it’s their first broadcast, but of course they didn’t lol”
A sudden shift in demeanor.
Flipping his attitude as quickly as one flips a palm, the chat exploded the moment he spoke instead of running away.
Joo Seo-jin, who had been sprinting away without hesitation, came to a stop because his true intentions were far too transparent.
He clearly had no intention of running any further.
Whoosh, whish─── clack.
Juggling.
Before long, he casually spun the fire axe hanging from his waist with one hand─── and Joo Seo-jin spoke matter-of-factly.
“If you’d like to propose a mission with additional conditions, I’ll take on whichever one seems most appropriate.”
-Collection Mode
What’s the point of warming up lol
-Looks like Teacher Seo-jin’s getting fired up, right?;
-Translation) ‘You’ve really set the hook well, I was just starting to feel like collecting anyway.’
I’m dying laughing
-That’s professional interpreter level, right?
-100 points… 100 points…
As the viewers began to respond enthusiastically, Joo Seo-jin likewise laid bare his thoughts without reservation.
“Don’t you think we need at least one demerit to balance things out?”
He glanced at the Conjoined Twins, still reciting numbers, and let out a light laugh.
Swish.
– 36… 35… 34, 33, 32- 31───
“If it’s just straightforward, it’ll be obvious that I’d win too easily.”
-??;
-yes?
-Are you sure? Shii-bal hahahahaha
There’s no face, lol
‘Clack───’, Joo Seo-jin caught the fire axe that had fallen through the air and continued speaking slowly.
“If we’re going to do this anyway, we might as well get the balance right.”
It was a statement brimming with confidence, tinged with audacity.
The nuance suggested he was raising the stakes, going beyond simply accepting a mission.
There was no way the viewers could resist responding to this performance of accepting additional conditions like it was some kind of attraction.
After all, missions become twice as enjoyable when they’re difficult to propose.
Therefore───.
The next moment.
Ding—
[【HardcoreLetGo】 has donated ‘10,000 won’.]
━Hmm… then wouldn’t it be better to just keep patching the balance throughout Blood Born??
A Hell-difficulty mission erupted.
[【HardcoreLetGo】 has set ‘1,000,000 won’ as the mission reward.]
━Double barrel shotgun only ??
【Mission: Clear [Blood Born] with only a double barrel shotgun, all other ranged weapons prohibited】
*Time limit: None
-Oh
-All senses alive
-Hmm… just shotgun one-trick it..? Not bad at all????????????????
Going all the way to the true ending on hard mode is insane lol, are you a demon or something lol
The nickname is living up to its value lol
* * *
Shotgun one-trick gameplay.
To be precise, it was a mission that restricted usable weapons to melee arms only, aside from the double barrel shotgun.
Considering that [Blood Born] is a horror action game that requires clearing with a variety of firearms, the handicap was absolutely brutal.
The existing missions were already difficult enough—could additional missions really come with conditions this severe?
If another new mission could be added, it was obvious which would be more entertaining and challenging.
Following the viewer who pitched the idea, mission notifications rang out in succession.
Continuously, relentlessly.
[【RollerCoasterRush】 has set ‘500,000 won’ as the mission reward.]
━Double barrel shotgun only
【Mission: Clear [Blood Born] with only a double barrel shotgun, all other ranged weapons prohibited】
*Time limit: None
[【IWillMakeYouFeelTheWallThatIsMe】 has set ‘300,000 won’ as the mission reward.]
━I’ll make you regret choosing the shotgun one-trick in Blood Born…!!!!!
【Mission: Clear [Blood Born] with only a double barrel shotgun, all other ranged weapons prohibited】
*Time limit: None
[【WhooshCrashVictory】 has set ‘100,000 won’ as the mission reward.]
━I’m putting safe assets on the line, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
【Mission: Clear [Blood Born] with only a double barrel shotgun, all other ranged weapons prohibited】
*Time limit: None
…
…
…
Ding, ding, ding───
In an instant, an enormous wave of donations poured in, and the mission rewards accumulated steadily.
Not only were there many current viewers, but there were also quite a few who trusted this as a safe investment.
The reason was obvious.
In [Blood Born], especially at the early stages—particularly at the branching point that constituted the ‘hidden route’—the boss battle difficulty increased exponentially.
[Night Soul], which had to unlock the hidden route for the first time, boasted considerable difficulty, but [Blood Born] likewise demanded serious physical prowess.
There was only one difference.
And that was———…
Ding.
[【Kkisup-kko-sup-kka-sup-kkae-sup】 has set ‘100,000 won’ as the mission reward.]
━You’re only using that shotgun with messed up accuracy and range in Blood Born?? You’ll never beat it lol
【Mission: Clear [Blood Born] without using any ranged weapons except the double-barrel shotgun】
*Time limit: None
‘Firearms.’
In other words, it meant handling guns rather than wielding swords, spears, or other martial weapons directly.
As was always the case with full-dive content, pursuing realism was an unavoidable aspect.
Unless one possessed talent in dynamic visual acuity or reflexes related to marksmanship, otherwise… the disadvantage was clear.
[【SongSongSongPaHuru】 has donated ‘10,000 won’.]
━Seo-jin, you’ve never handled firearms in VR games before… where’s this confidence coming from?;
The absence of marksmanship.
Even having learned Gaming Martial Arts, I had primarily acquired skills that didn’t presuppose weapon handling.
Ultimately, since I had never properly used a gun before, they believed I wouldn’t be able to clear it in one attempt.
Whoosh, whish———.
As if performing a trick, the fire axe that had been spinning ceaselessly until now also came to a stop.
Thud.
I grasped the fire axe lightly and spoke calmly.
“That’s enough. The mission seems to be set, so I’ll go with this. Thank you.”
And at that very moment when I accepted the mission.
Geom-hu, who had been rushing ahead, stopped short and raised an objection tinged with disbelief.
“…Wait, hold on. Young Master Joo? Isn’t this decision a bit too hasty without any discussion?”
Geom-hu was also sharing the streaming window, so he was seeing the same sight—and thus his astonishment came naturally.
“Ahem. In my opinion, even if we overlook the existing mission, I think it would be wise to reconsider the latter.”
It was simple.
In short, he was saying, ‘I don’t think you can clear this.’
Unlike [Infinite War], in [Blood Born], even Geom-hu found it difficult to guarantee clearing it while carrying dead weight.
“Hmm. What do you think, Myeong Bang-ul? Surely, no matter how I think about it, this is unreasonable———…”
“Oh. I’m in favor, oppa. Fighting, fighting!”
“?”
“Do your best~”
“???”
For that reason, I tried to gather opinions with Joo Seo-yoon to change my mind, but it was futile.
As if she had expected this, Joo Seo-yoon quickly retreated backward.
Joo Seo-yoon, who had withdrawn to a safe distance, wore a cheerful smile.
Faced with an unexpected difference of opinion, Geom-hu felt a pang of betrayal (?) and responded with a shocked expression.
“You… you mean Myeong Bang-ul?”
“Yes?”
“Are you serious? No matter how outstanding Joo Seo-jin is, this would be an incredibly difficult task. We need to reconsider this—”
“Oh, well, about that… I think it’s fine. Probably?”
“?”
At the word “probably,” Geom-hu’s face turned pale, yet his shamelessness showed no signs of fading.
No.
Rather, Joo Seo-yoon’s shamelessness only grew stronger as she crossed her arms and nodded.
As if she had something to rely on, the words that spilled from her lips were remarkably concise.
“Either way, I’m not the one fighting, so it’s fine!”
“???”
“Brother, I believe in you—fighting spirit! Oh, and I believe in you too, Geom-hu! You’ve got this!”
“??????????????????”
-Evasion tactics incoming
-Does she have no conscience…??;
Myeong Bang-ul’s new herbivore concept is crazy;
-Her evasion skills are on a whole different level from Seo-jin’s, huh??;
No, they’re just throwing out the leftovers right away lol
Geom-hu found himself hastily brushed aside (?), but he couldn’t find the words to object.
2 : 1.
He was already outvoted on the matter, but more importantly, the strong acceptance of the mission had already been established.
It was understandable.
Because that was—
[MISSION]
━Objective: Clear [Blood Born], defeat the Conjoined Twins boss immediately without dying
━Additional Objective: Clear [Blood Born] without using any ranged weapons except the double-barrel shotgun
*Mission Reward: ‘3,715,000 won’
*Additional Mission Reward: ‘1,675,000 won’
A mission reward totaling well over 5 million won was displayed above the streaming window.
“I absolutely won’t disappoint you. I’ll get it done. Thank you.”
“….”
“What’s with the serious face lol”
-Her voice is so firm, seriously;
Money talks, no business about it.
-Seo-jin in money-hungry mode…? There’s no stopping this…
-Anyone who knows what happened when Seojin went into Donmisae mode: ㄱ-
…No matter how you looked at it, her expression showed absolutely no intention of backing down.
Unfortunately.
– 17… 16… 15, 14, 13- 12───
“…Yes. I think it’s better to believe you can pull it off. In many ways.”
“A truly excellent judgment, sir. You won’t regret it, Geom-hu.”
The countdown began.
Before the Conjoined Twins’ movements could commence, the atmosphere itself shifted into something ominous.
Joo Seo-jin advanced slowly with a double-barrel shotgun in hand, coming to a halt at the standoff point.
Click-clack—
The same.
Geom-hu likewise raised his machete, settling into a light stance before tilting his head slightly to the side as he spoke.
“Hmm. From what I can tell, it seems the young master has something he believes in, which is why he stepped forward like this…”
Geom-hu glanced sideways at Joo Seo-jin standing beside him, his tone tinged with curiosity as he continued.
“So then—do you have a plan? It will be difficult for us to coordinate our offense and defense. What are you thinking?”
“….”
To this reasonable question, Joo Seo-jin nodded and replied.
“I’m not sure if you’d call it a plan, but synchronizing our combat rhythm shouldn’t be difficult.”
“Huh?”
“It’s nothing special, but… there’s a kind of intuition, you see.”
“!”
And then—
– 7… 6… 5, 4, 3, 2- 1───…
“I assure you, our partnership won’t be lacking. It’s merely my personal assessment, but…”
Joo Seo-jin smiled faintly, his eyes narrowing with quiet confidence.
Teamwork, at its core, requires that both partners’ thoughts and actions align, does it not?
In that case, there was no problem.
I was certain.
The reason being—
Whirrr—
The ability of foresight.
I was convinced that my eyes—which perceived fate with absolute precision, tolerating not even a hair’s breadth of error—would flourish in this new domain.
“—It’s merely a premonition, but I believe we’ll become the finest partners. Without question.”
And then—
– 0.
– Hehehehe, hahahaha—! My patience ends here, you vermin. I’ve waited long enough. Hmm?
– Hide-and-seek? And yet you had the audacity to come here. Such arrogance… so then—
The Conjoined Twins’ body swelled with a sickening crack, their arms turning a vivid crimson as they bulged grotesquely.
The murder of crows circling above began to shriek and scatter into the air.
As if announcing the beginning of a colossal battle.
– I’ll have you savor those screams at my leisure, you filth.
And then—
Whoosh, BANG—!
Crimson trajectories—arms drenched in blood-red, like thorned whips, tore through the air and lashed forward, spraying gore.
* * *
And then.
* * *
A sharp, piercing sound echoed through the air.
The eyes that perceived destiny—the ability of Foresight—began to awaken a new power.
