Chapter 142

-I’ll drop down alone into a crowded area to eliminate as many competitors as possible, while everyone else farms during that time.

-What if you die, Seo-jun-nim?

-Well, that can’t be helped. But don’t worry too much. I really have studied the game thoroughly.

-Someone who studied the game is now saying they’ll do the Lü Bu meta alone…

Seo-jun had confidently suggested doing both the Lü Bu meta and Gandhi meta simultaneously.

When asked why, what advantage there was to doing both at the same time?

Seo-jun answered that it would be more fun that way.

He also added that if only Seo-jun himself didn’t die, this approach would allow them to play the game much more stably. The latter was clearly hastily improvised.

Of course, not dying would make any meta stable.

Rumi was still awkward with Seo-jun and couldn’t make such pointed observations.

So she silently pleaded with Alpaca and Windstorm Sword, but strangely, Alpaca took a stance that whatever was fine, and Windstorm Sword went even further, believing at a fanatical level.

-We’ll definitely have a huge advantage just like Seo-jun-nim says!

‘Right. Whatever happens, happens.’

With exactly these thoughts, Rumi resolved once again to get close to him quickly.

Still, she had explained all the basic essentials. And he himself had told them not to worry too much.

Though she couldn’t quite trust him given his track record of saying ‘just kill enemies when you see them’ right before the E-grade matches.

And in the airplane.

The team’s three members excluding Seo-jun had decided to drop last among the 24 participants.

Their goal was to go somewhere unpopulated and farm items.

The calculation was that no matter how narrow the map had become, with so few people originally, non-popular spots would be leisurely unless they were hotspots.

And Seo-jun had decided to tactfully head to wherever many people jumped down at once.

So Seo-jun dropped first.

“I’ll be going now. See you later.”

“Yes. Don’t forget to control your speed! If you don’t know how to control it, just fall horizontally! Radio us if you don’t understand anything!”

“Okay.”

Seo-jun dove straight down vertically. He gradually became a dot as he moved away.

However, they could tell that Seo-jun was rapidly closing the distance with other users who had dropped before him.

“Wow, he’s really fast.”

“Looks like Seo-jun-nim will overtake them soon!”

Rumi heard her teammates’ conversation from beside her and asked.

“Aren’t you worried his parachute won’t deploy?”

“What’s the point of us worrying about A-grade Seo-jun-nim?”

Alpaca said.

“Ah!”

Rumi was convinced.

Come to think of it, that’s true, isn’t it?

She coolly acknowledged it.

She had been thinking wrong all along!

‘He must definitely have a way to control his speed even while dropping first!’

And then.

From afar, they thought they heard a crash sound.

It seemed like someone who had become a dot had failed to deploy their parachute and fallen straight to the ground.

‘It’s probably just my imagination, right?’

But Rumi shook her head to brush it off and said brightly.

“Let’s get ready to drop too! We’re about to leave the safe zone.”

How dare she doubt an A-grade player! Rumi quickly drove away the devil that had crept into her heart.

* * *

“Ah! He beat Goblin!”

Arin shouted and continued.

“What incredible hand-to-hand, no, martial arts skills!”

The broadcast camera and observer had been focused on Seo-jun from start to finish.

“We should look at other major spots where other teams are fighting too, but I can confidently say that the fight that just happened was definitely worth the camera’s attention!”

And Navigator also excitedly said.

-Real lol

-Hand-to-hand combat just demolishing everything LOL

-Is this what quasi-pro boxing is? Is this what quasi-pro boxing is? Is this what quasi-pro boxing is? Is this what quasi-pro boxing is?

-Goblin’s already mentally wrecked

-Wait, how is it possible to demolish someone like that…

-So good at fighting.

“Seo-jun, who caught everyone’s attention from the start with his ridiculous landing, immediately started provoking and fighting, making it impossible for the camera to focus anywhere else.”

As Navigator got excited, Arin also seemed excited.

“That’s right, Navigator-nim. How could we look anywhere else! When he’s creating such entertaining moments for us!”

The fact that parachutes won’t deploy above a certain speed is the game company’s intention to make landing speed control part of the skill requirement.

“Landing first is quite a big advantage. But if everyone just fell straight down and deployed parachutes, it would be meaningless, wouldn’t it!”

The intention was to control as close to the limit speed as possible.

“But ah, I don’t like this? The game company dares try to stop me? So Seo-jun just dropped straight down.”

“Ah, truly befitting someone with 995 points!”

“And then he won the hand-to-hand combat without taking a single hit!”

-Is this what commentary is?

-Is this what casting is?

-Huh?

-LOS is usually like this!

The two had good chemistry.

The other commentators looked on grimly. Even if it was entertaining, wasn’t this leaning too heavily to one side?

“Haha. Now we should explain other teams’ situations too, but it looks like the fight isn’t over yet.”

“Right. If you look around the building, Goblin’s teammates are running over right now! They’re coming to revive him! One has already entered the building and is climbing up!”

Team members’ positions can be checked at all times through the minimap. As long as they’re not unconscious, they can also communicate via radio.

Bang!

“Player Seo-jun! He killed the backup as soon as he saw them! And he’s going downstairs! He’s like a hunter!”

* * *

-Going up leisurely after getting two kills looks so cool…

-Just waiting and then shooting as soon as he sees them. And they’re all headshots

-If he played a gunner hero in The League, he’d be good at that too, right? His aim is special forces level

-But that guy’s about swords, what are you talking about

-Are you a Kael one-trick?

Bang!

The moment Seo-jun killed Goblin, the screen quickly switched.

“Wow! In the end, because of Goblin, an entire team gets wiped out by Player Seo-jun! Now shall we quickly look at the other teams’ status?”

Since they were the official broadcast, they needed to show all streamers.

Arin, who had been engrossed in Seo-jun’s fight, snapped back to attention, and Taeyang began commentary.

“Everyone except the camp is farming peacefully. First, we can see Seo-jun’s teammates who went to the outer edge of the safety zone.”

The observer, who had been looking down at the terrain from above, zoomed in on one location.

Seo-jun’s teammates were diligently farming. Since they hadn’t gone to popular spots, they had to search through more buildings.

“Considering that five other teams went to popular spots, it’s really a good choice.”

“Because there are no competitors, right?”

This time they moved to the largest building in the vicinity.

“Yes, that’s right. Only one team went to the hospital. So this is the best situation. They get to monopolize a popular spot comfortably.”

The hospital was one of three popular spots currently within the safety zone.

Items, especially consumables, spawned most abundantly and diversely there.

“Yes. And now the airfield is showing, where two teams went like the camp. But no fighting has broken out yet.”

The airfield was also a popular spot.

Items spawned generously, and light aircraft could be used immediately.

Including the camp, a total of three spots had five squads landing there.

“Now. Here we’ll point out one thing for viewers unfamiliar with Ground Zero.”

“Oh!”

“In Ground Zero, weapons other than pistols are treated as special and extremely difficult to obtain. You essentially can’t get them in regular fields.”

“You mean submachine guns, shotguns, and sniper rifles?”

“Yes, that’s right. Those weapons have powerful damage. So if you get them, you can take several more steps toward victory.”

“Then where can you get them?”

“First is airdrops. They fall randomly from the sky. And the second method is exactly connected to these three spots – going to the underground bunker and opening the secret room!”

This map’s biggest feature was the massive underground bunker.

The village and military facilities formed around the oasis in the middle of the great desert were connected underground.

And within that was an underground bunker, where the current safety zone was generated with the secret room’s location as the circle’s center.

“The storm’s range was intentional. Even if the safety zone contracts once more over time, given its size, the center—meaning the secret room—will definitely be included within it.”

In summary, they were telling them to aim for the secret room.

“Everyone is preparing to go underground. They’ll have to fight. And that preparation includes…”

The observer instantly teleported to Seo-jun. Then it floated up to show the entire camp.

“…naturally eliminating the danger that would be behind them. The moment when the hunter becomes the hunted.”

Team captain Rain’s squad that had landed at the camp was approaching the building where Seo-jun was located together.

* * *

Seo-jun generated an inventory window in midair, reached out to first put in the frying pan and took out bandages.

“It’s a shame there are no first aid kits or medkits.”

He wrapped the bandage, which restored a tiny bit of health, around his arm. Then he tore it with his teeth.

But his health didn’t recover, so he looked at the chat window.

Should he put it somewhere else?

-LOL please lmao every time you show off like this we get embarrassed, Streamer…

-You were so cool just moments ago lmao

-I hope the commentators didn’t see this!!!

-Ah LOL you just touch the use button on the inventory when it’s in there LMAO

Ah.

The moment Seo-jun saw the chat, he realized what he had just done and quickly assembled an excuse before shamelessly blurting it out.

“You guys, I did that to make you laugh. I know everything too.”

He only grumbled internally about why they would implement bandages properly if you were just going to use them like that anyway.

He only had two bandages, so his health only went up a tiny bit.

“Hmm. At this level, I’ll die the same way if I take one hit.”

It was somewhat of a crisis. Who would have thought there would be no other healing items in the building or on Goblin’s team members’ bodies.

Slowly.

‘Considering the timing, they should be arriving soon or already on their way.’

Seo-jun walked to the edge of the rooftop. It was quite a large 3-story building, but there were no railings.

As expected.

There were two people in front.

Bang!

Seo-jun immediately raised the loaded gun and fired at one of the people approaching the building.

Then he briefly stepped back.

[Sword God14 –> Caterpillar]

-Another headshot…

-Shooting and immediately getting out, what reflexes!

-From their perspective, this is a loss, right?

-So calm LOL

“It was from up there! Just get inside the building quickly!”

It seemed like they had tried to enter the building making as little noise as possible.

But of course they would come this way, knowing they couldn’t leave Seo-jun alive.

‘I should thin their numbers as much as possible for convenience.’

Seo-jun didn’t walk forward again. They would be on guard. Instead, he went to the side.

To check if there was someone else.

‘There is one.’

His arm and gun barrel quickly tracked the person rushing toward the building in a brief moment.

Bang!

He pulled the trigger. The good thing about rooftops is the open field of vision.

[Sword God14 –> KeyboardIsGood]

-Wait, his aim is seriously insane!

-Are you really special forces? Mafia? What the hell are you!

-Does he use guns better than swords?

Thud, they collapsed.

“Another headshot? What is this, is he carrying a sniper rifle?”

“Only two left, haha, we’re screwed.”

“He shoots really well, huh? Still, it’s fine, Rain-nim. Thanks to farming level 3 helmet and level 3 vest, even with two people we can handle the underground.”

Hmm.

Seo-jun heard the conversation of the two entering the building. Since they were the only ones making noise here, he could hear them clearly.

“I’ll take the lead. Let’s finish this quickly.”

“Yes, Bull-nim.”

-3-level helmet? Screwed

-That’s full farming, right…?

-This match, the camp had good item spawn luck

-No wait, if the luck was good, wouldn’t it be bad? If the 3-level helmet spawned, other helmets couldn’t spawn more in this spot. Otherwise, both wouldn’t have gone to the streamer at once

-Anyway, the streamer’s really screwed now? Lmao

Level 3 helmets that luckily spawned at camps and some fields had the highest defense except for level 4 helmets that could be found in airdrops and secret rooms.

Same for bulletproof vests.

Was he also A-grade?

He seemed to be a top user.

‘This isn’t just a small crisis, but a pretty big crisis.’

This was an especially difficult situation for Seo-jun now. If he can’t kill in one shot, he dies.

But not only a helmet that prevents one-shot kills, but level 3?

‘I don’t know the exact numbers, but I’ll probably have to hit multiple times.’

Seo-jun fired his gun into the air and then jumped down from the rooftop.

Bang!

He covered the fact that he had gone to the ground floor with the gunshot sound.

His health dropped to the extreme limit.

But it was the same as before.

-Loot the guys you killed

-There might be first aid kits

He didn’t respond. Even the slightest noise could be heard.

Seo-jun immediately entered the building.

If he farmed bodies outside and the enemy looked outside the building even once, it would be over.

Boom!

An explosion sound came from above.

The enemies were entering while throwing grenades.

Seo-jun moved in time with that sound.

And then.

Going up to the second floor and turning the corner of the hallway, he saw the enemies.

Bang!

“Huh?”

He shot the back of Rain’s head, who was following Bull, and immediately Bull turned around.

[Sword God14 –> Butterfly Effect]

But Seo-jun had already hidden behind the wall again.

-Nice! 3-person cut!

-Does this guy have any hand trembling at all?

-Seriously, shouldn’t the National Intelligence Service recruit him? LOL

-But what’s the streamer going to do now? Lmao

Even though he hadn’t shot much, 100% accuracy and 100% headshot rate were impressive stats.

Also, Seo-jun’s positioning movement was clean.

But that was as far as it went.

-Bull is approaching

-Full farming A-grade is a bit scary LOL

-The streamer’s slowly backing away?

-Run to the 3rd floor lmao

-This is tough lol

The viewers predicted Seo-jun’s defeat. The equipment difference was too great. His health was also hopeless.

And Seo-jun thought the same. So he went upstairs for now.

‘Should I try this once?’

There was something he had thought of. But he wasn’t sure if it would work.

-Haha, you’ll break the helmet even if you hit them with that~

-The streamer’s getting sword-hungry when he’s in a crisis LOL but no sword, right?

-Sword God (holding frying pan)

Seo-jun held the gun in his left hand and gripped the frying pan in his right hand, then said.

“Hahaha! You guys don’t worry too much.”

It was directed at viewers, but actually meant for the enemy to hear.

“Were you there?”

Bull approached slowly, gun ready in both hands, prepared to aim accurately at any moment.

And he stopped at a slightly distant position, pointing his gun barrel toward the wall.

‘He’s preparing something here.’

It was intuition. He knew Seo-jun was preparing something.

But it didn’t matter. If he came out, no matter what he did, he would just shoot without caring.

Level 3 helmet and bulletproof vest made him invincible – he could take several hits without worry.

And the enemy appeared.

‘Now!’

Bang!

Bull smiled with satisfaction. He had fired the bullet toward the legs in a way that would be difficult to respond to or dodge.

Since the enemy would die from any hit given their health anyway.

‘It’s over.’

But right after that.

Clang!

A strange sound echoed through the hallway.
