Chapter 4 - "Bro, you said you used to play games a lot?" (3)
Chapter 4 “Bro, you said you used to play games a lot?” (3)
Jin-hyuk’s thoughts were very simple.
Since his brother, a clueless newbie, would obviously be a burden, it was more convenient for him to remain in a soul state for the success of the mission.
Trying to take care of a newbie would inevitably create a lot of gaps, lowering the chances of mission success.
That would be problematic in many ways.
A 500,000 won mission didn’t come around often, and it was best to seize the opportunity when it arose.
He decided to complete the first round diligently and then kindly teach his brother from the second round onwards.
‘Brotherhood’ has donated 1,000 won!
[I will remember you, who abandoned your brother. Despicable.]
“Oh dear, despicable? My character is so clean, why do you call me despicable?”
Comments like that donation message didn’t matter much to him.
If he won here and got the mission prize, his brother would ultimately be happy too.
He would acknowledge making money through broadcasting.
There was a time when the hospital was his entire world. He didn’t know how his brother managed to gather that much money, but if it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t be where he was now.
Jin-hyuk always thought so.
Today, his reliable and dependable brother was discharged from the military.
He resolved to clear the mission and buy his brother a present.
He continued to farm diligently, thinking to himself.
He obtained a rare-grade helmet and armor, and though not as rare, he also farmed a versatile magic-grade sword.
He was lucky today.
At this rate, he could successfully finish farming and then head to an empty place to kill time until he won.
How long had he been farming like that?
As he continued peaceful farming, which was unusual for the training ground, a donation alert went off again.
‘Brotherhood’ has donated 1,000 won!
[What’s the kill log?]
-Isn’t that the Resolute one’s ID?
-???
-What?
-??
The chat room’s atmosphere was strange.
Usually, when farming like this, comments like ‘farming no fun’ would appear.
Moreover, the viewers of this channel were the worst of the worst.
If the streamer’s broadcast got even slightly boring, they would start hurling profanities without hesitation.
But it seemed there was something catching those viewers’ attention.
Jin-hyuk slightly frowned and checked the messages floating in the upper right corner of his view.
There was a system called ‘kill log’ that displayed information whenever someone recorded a kill.
And there,
Logs with his brother’s nickname ‘Shah’ were rapidly descending.
Fighting like this was definitely more fun than gun games.
The feel in my hands was exhilarating.
I nodded, lightly swinging the crowbar covered in blood.
I was worried about feeling awkward since it had been a long time since I played a virtual reality game.
But it was all unfounded.
Thanks to the advancement in synchronization, I could move even better than during
Five minutes had passed since the game started.
I’ve already sent six users from here to hell.
In videos, people manage over 20 kills alone, but it seemed that was difficult for a beginner like me.
Well, I didn’t farm personally, but thanks to beating six people, my equipment was quite splendid.
The helmet and armor were legendary grade, and although the shoes were rare grade, they had an option that significantly increased movement speed.
Even for someone like me, who didn’t know much about this game, these were quite impressive gear.
I smiled contentedly and looked around.
It seemed there were no more survivors in the training ground.
“Brother!”
Except for my ungrateful little brother, who abandoned me and roamed alone.
Jin-hyuk was wearing purple, rare-grade items, which he must have found somewhere.
He abandoned his brother and managed to get good items.
“What’s all this?”
“They suddenly rushed at me.”
“…Did you really kill all those people with that crowbar?”
Jin-hyuk stared at the blood-stained crowbar in my right hand with his mouth open.
“It just happened.”
“Where did you get that equipment?”
“Where else? I farmed hard with the crowbar.”
“Farmed with a crowbar?”
Yes, body farming.
It wasn’t particularly difficult.
Jin-hyuk alternated his gaze between my equipment and the crowbar for a long time, then lightly shuddered.
“Have you played Excalibur during your leave?”
“It’s my first time today. I told you, I quit gaming.”
“Crazy, how did you kill people wearing helmets and armor with just a crowbar?”
At my brother’s question, the chat window from the broadcast he shared with me briefly heated up.
– Hahaha, good old Dr. Freeman.
– Crowbar >>>>>>>>>>>>> other weapons
– How did you kill them with a crowbar, you crazy bastard!
– That’s not how you use it…
The chat window was still as toxic as ever.
By the way, what?
A crowbar isn’t a weapon?
Then why is it even in the game?
“The crowbar is used like this.”
Jin-hyuk demonstrated it for me.
He shuddered slightly as he took the crowbar from me, then walked towards a door in the corner of the training ground.
Then he inserted the crowbar into the gap and forcibly opened the locked door.
“It’s used for opening doors.”
“Did they have crowbars back in the day?”
“It’s a game.”
“Well, I guess.”
“But brother, can I ask you something?”
Jin-hyuk handed the crowbar back to me and asked.
I looked at Jin-hyuk and nodded lightly.
“What is it?”
“How did you really kill them with the crowbar? It’s actually pretty weak.”
“Oh, that? It’s pretty easy.”
It wasn’t particularly difficult.
“You just beat them until they die.”
“…What?”
“Avoid their attacks lightly, and beat them hard. That’s it.”
Then the chat window flared up again.
– Hahaha, everything he says is true.
– Just beat them until they die. Agreed.
– If the crowbar is this strong with him… What would he be like in bed?
– This guy… is crazy!
I spoke honestly.
I’m the type who dislikes lying, so I just revealed it naturally and plainly.
As soon as Jin-hyuk heard my answer, he opened his mouth wide and said.
“Anyway, since it’s weak, pick up a sword right now…”
His words didn’t continue.
A loud sound interrupted him, as someone sent a donation.
‘MissionVillain’ has donated 10,000 won!
[From now on, if you win, you get 10,000 won for each kill with the crowbar. Only this round.]
Oh! A mission?
Moreover, Jin-hyuk’s attitude, which had been trying to dissuade me until just now, changed instantly.
Jin-hyuk even kicked away the swords around us and said to me.
“What are you doing? Go earn some money quickly.”
I chuckled at Jin-hyuk, who was speaking confidently, and said one thing.
“Hey.”
“What?”
“I get 90% of that.”
“Brother, why between us….”
“I’m a jobless man, so I’m sensitive about money.”
Actually, I had once thought about streaming.
I had raided with famous streamers and had some recognition.
But after that incident, I became a public enemy.
The internet forums I peeked at were filled with criticism and curses about me, so in the end, I gave up everything and joined the army.
I don’t regret that choice now.
Thanks to that choice, Jin-hyuk was smiling at me now.
That’s enough for me.
Moreover, I could enjoy playing a game after a long time and make money. It couldn’t be better.
The chance of my identity being revealed was almost nonexistent.
When playing
So, to put it very simply,
“It’s time to make money.”
It was time to revel in capitalism.
It had already been 20 minutes since the game started.
The magical barrier that restricted the arena had entered its final phase, and there were only four survivors left.
Me, my brother, and two others whose locations were unknown.
The remaining two could be on the same team or on different teams.
Well, it didn’t matter.
I would just kill them all.
“Brother, honestly, I thought I was really good at games. Even the viewers called me a natural talent, a prodigy.”
“And?”
“Well… just saying.”
Jin-hyuk’s gaze towards me had completely changed since the beginning of the game.
At first, he must have thought of me as just a burden.
But seeing the results I had shown now, his thoughts had completely changed.
– Koo-geon! Koo-geon! Koo-geon! Koo-geon!
– Ministry of Defense! You were wrong!
– Breaking news: The Ministry of Defense will re-enlist Koo-geon to the 707th Special Task Force.
Re-enlist? They’re talking crazy.
I lightly tapped the crowbar while looking around.
Besides the 6 kills recorded with the crowbar at the beginning, I had destroyed 11 more after receiving the mission.
My record now stood at 17 kills.
All 17 kills were made entirely with the crowbar.
Converted to cash, it was 170,000 won.
Of course, this was assuming we won.
The last place chosen was a location called
It was a place with twelve pillars scattered around a magnificent throne in the center.
In other words, there was no good place to hide.
We walked straight to the throne.
The final phase of the magical barrier would head towards this throne, so if we waited, the hidden guys would come out on their own.
There was no need to risk searching the pillars.
“Should we take them out one by one?”
Jin-hyuk lightly placed his hand on the magnificent throne and asked me.
However, I immediately shook my head firmly.
“You just squat behind the throne. I’ll handle it alone.”
“Is it necessary to take such a gamble for just an extra 10,000 won?”
“What? Just 10,000 won?”
At that moment.
A user who had been hiding behind the second pillar ran towards the throne with a long spear, and another user behind the fourth pillar shot an arrow at me.
I moved as if I had been waiting for this.
I stepped onto the throne and leaped, landing on the spear’s shaft as it came towards me.
Balancing wasn’t too bad.
However, the spearman’s expression turned to horror as he saw me standing on his spear.
Thud!
As I swung the crowbar at his head, the helmet began to dent slightly.
The spearman’s helmet was yellow.
It was a legendary-grade helmet, but under my continuous attacks, it gradually crumpled.
“Ugh! You crazy bastard!”
Just like in
They were powerful at a certain distance.
The outcome was decided the moment he charged.
I dodged his wild thrusts easily, smashed his helmet, and raised the crowbar high again.
“You crazy lunatic…”
Thud!
One down.
Alright, now the archer who was shooting arrows earlier…
“I’m sorry! Please don’t kill me like that!”
What’s this?
“I’ll leave on my own! Just don’t kill me that way!”
The archer, who had been shooting arrows, was now kneeling, tears streaming down her face.
I didn’t know why she was doing that suddenly.
This wasn’t part of the plan.
10,000 won wasn’t just some dog’s name, so it couldn’t be lost like this.
I should try speaking softly, gently.
“I’ll kill you comfortably, just stay still.”
It’s better to soothe her and decide it with my own hands…
Then she screamed even louder and more desperately.
“Waaaah! You crazy pervert!”
Flash.
That was her last line, and soon a message window appeared before me.
[Victory in the Battlefield of Glory
[You have acquired the achievement
[You have acquired the achievement
[You have acquired the achievement
… I’m really not a pervert.
Sigh.
