Chapter 141

-Absolute madman absolute madman absolute madman absolute madman absolute madman

-Is he seriously provoking him? LMAO

-This is not your first time meeting that streamer, right? Lmao

-No way it’s not their first time. He’s just doing it for show

-I hope the opponent isn’t a fellow streamer but just a regular user when he’s provoking like this

Oh, right.

Seo-jun was startled while reading the chat.

Was it because he was flustered after landing? Without realizing it, he had naturally started provoking.

‘I guess I’ve been streaming for too long.’

Originally, this kind of provocation wasn’t Seo-jun’s personality. How kind and straightforward was his nature?

Provocation was an act that went against his instincts, done solely to create entertainment for the stream.

But doing it unconsciously meant it had become second nature.

His comment about streaming for too long stemmed from this realization.

‘Mm. Right.’

Seo-jun added more words.

“Here he comes. Just as planned.”

The username was Goblin?

Who was that again? It seemed familiar.

-That landing was according to plan? Lmao

-He deliberately cut his health first and then lured the opponent in!

-With critical health!

-So you’re saying he won’t take a single hit?

Seo-jun answered the chat. Once the tournament entered the main game, he wouldn’t be able to see chat, so this might be the only moment in Ground Zero where he could communicate while playing.

“Well, maybe I won’t take a single hit?”

And that’s when it happened.

Whoosh.

Flutter.

Goblin, who had been slowly descending from the sky with his parachute, cut his line and landed on the rooftop where Seo-jun stood.

Then people could be seen landing on surrounding buildings one by one.

Goblin, who made eye contact with Seo-jun, smiled warmly.

“Hello there. You’re Seo-jun-nim, right? I’m streamer Goblin.”

“Hello. I’m streamer Jin Seo-jun.”

Right.

Streamers should be courteous to each other like this.

The fact that he had rudely provoked just moments ago had already been erased from his memory long ago.

“I’m also an A-tier player like Seo-jun-nim, but you said you won’t take a single hit? That’s a bit disappointing.”

He was A-tier?

-Challenger jungler

-Right now the official account is also on, and he’s supposedly semi-pro level at boxing according to the commentary

-He’s originally a Kim Shin master who does hero Muay Thai

-Kim Shin LOL so that’s why he’s called Goblin? LMAO ^[1]

-It’s not Muay Thai, you idiot. And his name’s not Kim Shin either, dumbass

Having quickly absorbed the information, Seo-jun smiled awkwardly.

“Oops, haha. Did you hear that?”

“Yeah. I was right above, so I could hear it clearly.”

“Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to disrespect you.”

Seo-jun said that much cleanly and took his stance.

Goblin judged that further conversation was meaningless and likewise tensed his body appropriately.

He also knew Seo-jun’s words weren’t meant to disrespect him.

‘Geniuses are like that.’

He was certain that Seo-jun’s reason for throwing away his weapon and provoking him wasn’t because he was giving up on the game.

No matter how much he had made mistakes from the start—failing at the initial drop from the plane and not knowing how to land properly, taking fall damage—up to that point could be overlooked as unintentional trolling since he was a new streamer. A VR newbie too.

But if he blatantly trolled, the aftermath would be quite difficult—something streamers who always monitor public opinion instinctively know.

Therefore, Seo-jun.

‘Really believes he can win without taking a single hit.’

Goblin.

He was also a genius, so he could understand Seo-jun’s thoughts and move past it.

‘A genius… Unfortunately, that applies to me too.’

Hoping this fight would end quickly so Seo-jun wouldn’t get too much backlash, Goblin threw a light punch.

Whoosh!

It was a light, probing jab.

But because the preparatory motion was optimized, it was powerful.

An attack from Goblin, who could be counted among the best amateurs, capable of ending Seo-jun in an instant.

But what entered Goblin’s field of vision was Seo-jun’s fist growing larger and larger.

Thud!

A dull impact sound was heard.

“Sorry about that.”

“How on earth…?”

For a moment, he forgot he was streaming and let slip something that hurt his pride.

But what came back was.

Thud!

The opposite fist.

* * *

[Goblin has been knocked unconscious by your punch.]

“Oh. He’s unconscious.”

Seo-jun looked down at Goblin, who was lying face-down in front of him.

He wasn’t speaking to Goblin.

-Really didn’t take a single hit lol

-Honestly, I’m not that impressed by this win LOL

-For real I’m not surprised that the streamer didn’t take a hit in hand-to-hand combat either… what is this

-Challenger jungler, semi-pro in real life? Ah lol streamer, come to the gym once

-What the hell happens at that gym that Kim Tae-woo and Heavenly First Swordsman hate it so much??

-Everyone’s standards have gotten too high. Go check the tournament room and you’ll see proper reactions lmao

Goblin was in shock and didn’t move at all.

“Really, how…? No, what? What hit me?”

Originally, once you lose your pace, it’s hard to properly remember what happened until you regain your composure.

You experience something like a storm raging through your mind.

Seo-jun had pushed him from the start with the intention of ending it quickly.

“I’ll go pick up the pistol for now.”

He had thrown it far behind, but fortunately it hadn’t fallen off the edge to the ground below.

The reason Goblin had responded to the provocation earlier was probably because he figured that even if Seo-jun went to retrieve the pistol, he only needed to land one hit anyway.

Also, just in case, he had positioned himself between Seo-jun and the pistol when he landed.

So what? He lost in the end.

After retrieving the pistol, Seo-jun looked around the rest of the rooftop. There were no recovery items like first aid kits or bandages.

“Why aren’t you killing me?”

Goblin asked Seo-jun.

“Didn’t I kill you?”

“Haha. Yeah, right. I’ll be logging out soon.”

Seo-jun chuckled inwardly.

No matter how new he was to this game, and even if his teammates hadn’t explained it to him, anyone could see that this state wasn’t actually dead.

Moreover, he himself had asked why he wasn’t being killed.

The desire to live can blind you to this extent.

Seo-jun innocently shrugged and sat down near Goblin.

“There’s no first aid kit. Guess we’ll have to wait here until my teammates come.”

“That would be best.”

“Really? I’m good at fighting but bad at games.”

“Ah, I think I know what you mean. I used to be like that too.”

“Hahaha.”

“Hahaha!”

He naturally chatted with Goblin.

The more helpful friends you have, the better.

-Random chat time LOL

-Bad at games? Seriously?

-FYI, Goblin isn’t logging out soon, so be careful, streamer

The chat trying to inform Seo-jun was mostly helpful.

But not right now. Seo-jun also knew Goblin’s current state.

Unconscious.

In team games, when a player’s health is completely depleted, they enter this state. If they take additional damage while unconscious, they die completely, but if teammates come to help and revive them, they survive.

So right now, Goblin was trying to distract Seo-jun as much as possible while waiting for his teammates, without letting him catch on.

‘They’ll definitely come. They just need to land one hit…’

And then.

Bang!

“Die!”

Someone pointed their gun toward the rooftop entrance and tried to approach.

But the gunshot had come not from the entrance, but from beside Goblin – from Seo-jun’s fingertips.

That someone barely showed their head for an instant before taking a bullet to the forehead and dying immediately.

“Huh?”

[Sword God14 –> Grass77]

A kill message appeared. And Seo-jun immediately stood up.

His innocent expression was gone.

Seo-jun just smiled as if he found it amusing.

“Headshots really are one-shot kills without even the unconscious state. Well then, let’s go see how many more came to the building. Goblin-nim, please wait just a moment. I’ll be right back.”

“Huh?”

Leaving behind Goblin’s bewildered voice—he had probably said “huh?” dozens of times in the past 10 minutes—Seo-jun went downstairs.

And Goblin closed his eyes tightly, seeing the gunshots from below and the kill logs appearing before his eyes.

Bang!

[Sword God14 –> a13#5]

After some time passed, the next fight broke out.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Just from the gunshots alone, you could tell it wasn’t Seo-jun. It was probably his teammate panicking and shooting as a threat.

He felt sorry for his teammates.

The wild spray of gunfire died down. You could feel the tense atmosphere of the fight happening downstairs even up here.

There was nothing he could do while unconscious.

Bang!

Then a single gunshot rang out from inside the building.

And as expected, the kill log…

The kill log appeared.

[Sword God14 –> Black Sauce Man]

‘He planned this from the beginning!’

When he, an A-tier player, died, his teammates would have radioed and come to help immediately.

He had believed in that. And Seo-jun had believed in it too.

Step.

Step.

Step.

Seo-jun climbed back up the stairs he had descended.

Without hesitation, but leisurely and smoothly, he aimed the gun at him and immediately pulled the trigger.

“I’m back.”

Bang!

At that moment, Goblin’s chat was like this,

-Fuck LOL

-It’s like a noir film in one shot

-Ah lol this bastard killed the whole team and now he’s dead too, so I’m going to the other stream to watch

-Are you abandoning Goblin?

-Abandon him!

* * *

[Sword God14 –> Goblin]

“The first team was taken care of easily.”

Seo-jun left the truly dead Goblin’s corpse and went downstairs.

“I got lucky.”

-All headshots, crazy LOL

-The essence of one shot, one kill

-This bastard can do everything

-I’m a viewer from Goblin’s stream just now, what the hell happened?

“I just shot their heads when I saw them.”

That’s really all it was. When you know enemies exist through sound, you prepare in advance and then shoot when you see them.

There aren’t many people who can do this faster than Seo-jun.

However, there were two strokes of luck involved here.

First was that the enemy squad’s three members came to rescue Goblin separately rather than together.

If they had come together, Seo-jun, who would die from a single hit, would have had to fight annoyingly.

Second was the structure where Seo-jun secured his position first and the enemies tried to break through to him.

If he had been the one trying to break through a secured position, he couldn’t have finished the fight this easily.

Enemies who secure positions first can aim and fire before Seo-jun can.

“In that sense, something’s lacking.”

Two squads had landed at the camp spot. One squad had been eliminated by Seo-jun, as shown in the kill log, so the others were definitely securing positions and being cautious.

Seo-jun’s current goal was the Lü Bu meta, but that would be quite annoying in this situation.

That’s why Seo-jun was feeling disappointed.

Then.

An item in a corner of the building caught Seo-jun’s eye.

“What’s this?”

Seo-jun instinctively fired his gun at that item.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Not even a scratch.

“Guys. What is this?”

Could it really have infinite durability?

Seo-jun bent down and picked up the item.

-We’re screwed. The strongest weapon on earth is in the streamer’s hands

-Fuck lmao he immediately tested if bullets bounced off it. Nobody told him but his instincts are insane LOL

-You have to be that good to be a weapon master LMAO

-If you hit someone’s head with that, they’re instantly unconscious LOL

The item in Seo-jun’s hand was.

A frying pan.
