[Welcome to the Bronze League Gangnam Area]

[The mission is Defense.]

Seong Jihan, after returning home, logged into the game while wearing a suit.

Its a zombie mission this time.

The mission was to survive while blocking the zombies coming up the tower until only five teams remained.

The achievement quest window still displayed the uncompleted chain quest from last time.

[Chain Quest Zombies Source (1)]

* Eliminate 1,000 zombies alone.

[Reward Achievement Points 3,000]

* Upon completion, the quest continues to Zombies Source (2).

At that time, it was impossible, but now I can easily clear it. During the previous game, Seong Jihan had low levels and power, but now his abilities had greatly improved, and he had gained another unique stat boost.

With this much strength, he could easily sweep away the zombies below the tower.

He had also prepared items that were perfect for this map.

Inventory.

Seong Jihan opened his inventory and summoned the weapons within it.

In his right hand, a large sword the size of a person appeared.

[Otherworldly Artifact Urks Divine Executioner Sword (C-Rank)]

A sword used by Urks high priest to offer sacrifices at the altar of the gods.

Excellent for cleaving through monsters bodies.

When his divine power reached 10.

[From now on, you can only absorb Divine Power from relics that are C-rank or higher.]

Receiving this message, he purchased the item for testing purposes.

I wonder if absorbing divine power from artifacts of the Otherworld will also increase my force.

A unique stat boost that combined divine power and mana.

To see if absorbing divine power would increase his force, Seong Jihan boldly spent all his GP to purchase a C-Rank weapon.

Its quite big.

Despite being C-Rank, the price was not as high as he expected.

Urks Divine Executioner Sword was too large and heavy for humans to wield comfortably.

A sword that many warrior classes had avoided for that reason.

Swish! Swish!

Its usable.

However, when such a weapon came into Seong Jihans hands, it spun as lightly as a wooden stick.

The synergy between power and force made it even more powerful, enabling this.

Now that Im all prepared, I want to go down right away, but

The defense map wouldnt start until all the team members were summoned.

Seong Jihan turned on the Battle Tube broadcast while waiting for the rest of the team to join.

Oh? Seong Jihan has started the game.

You went straight into playing after visiting the auction house? In a suit, no less.

Kingsman

Thats just how that guy is. He used to play games in his sweatpants.

As soon as the broadcast began, viewers started pouring in.

Perhaps it hadnt been long since the Sword Kings auction had ended. It hadnt been that long since the broadcast had started, but more people were joining than expected.

Since the game hadnt started, the chat window was open and active.

Seong Jihan looked around, gauging the atmosphere.

A zombie map, huh?

The power He revealed at the auction will he use it here too?

This is Scout Kim Jinhwan who greeted you a little while ago. The psychic power you showed earlier was really impressive. I regret that I couldnt have a longer conversation with you earlier. Could you open your message box?

The atmosphere isnt bad.

There were a lot of chat messages that seemed to be from scouts.

In his previous life, the chat window might have been filled with Pro-Japanese comments during this time, but now the atmosphere was relatively pleasant.

Mr. Seong~ Good luck! Its Take-chan , and Im ready to send some more donations. Could you open your message box?

An annoying brat.

Stop pretending to be cute, you f***er!

Korean people are harsh with the words. Hmph.

Although Takes chat messages were annoying, since so many people were chatting, they quickly scrolled past.

How did you tear the business card earlier?

What kind of ability is that? Any guesses?

No idea.

Is it something like psychic power?

Most viewers were curious about the ability Seong Jihan had demonstrated.

Even though it was just a performance of tearing a business card, it was an out-of-spec power within the Battle Net class.

Not only regular viewers but also the scouts were paying close attention to Seong Jihan.

I guess its time to make a bet.

Seong Jihan checked the channels subscribers.

Over 12,000.

Perhaps due to the exclusive coverage of the auction, there were more than 4,000 additional subscribers compared to before.

As a result, one achievement quest had been cleared.

[The channels subscribers have exceeded 10,000.]

[Cleared the regular achievement, Recruit Subscribers (1).]

[Reward: 1,000 Achievement Points.]

From now on, increasing subscribers wont be easy.

Up until now, he had been at the center of events that attracted the worlds attention, so his subscribers had rapidly increased as a secondary effect.

Of course, Seong Jihans potential was exceptional, so he could easily increase subscribers by moving to a higher league, but

Instead of waiting idly for that, I should make the most of what I have here.

Seong Jihan decided to take advantage of the current situation where aggro was drawn to him.

Hello, everyone.

He greeted lightly while looking at the chat.

Oh, Jihan is reading the chat!

I think its because the game hasnt started yet.

Hello!

Hi hi~~

As Ive been looking through the chat, it seems that many of you are curious about my abilities.

Reveal. Your. Status.

Reveal your status window.

Seong Sang~ Its Take-chan again, If you share your status window, I might donate again

Why is that guy so great at writing Korean in such a disgusting way?

Ill also donate 10,000 GP!

Many people said they would donate GP if Seong Jihan revealed his status window, but he just smiled and brushed it off.

Instead

I wont be revealing my status window Im sorry.

Aw

Why not?

Just show it, show it, show it, show it, show it, show it, show it, show it, show it, show it

Amidst the fiery enthusiasm, Seong Jihan thought for a moment, then extended his index finger and spoke.

Instead, Ill make a deal. Ill reveal it if I reach 200,000 subscribers.

200,000? Are you kidding?

So, youre not going to do it.

Just do it, come on!

Seong Sang Ill donate 50,000 GP, just show me a little glimpse!!! ^O^

The sentiment took a sharp turn as the idea of 200,000 subscribers was introduced.

Seong Jihan pondered for a moment again, then broke into a satisfied expression, as if saying, This is good!

Then Ill make another condition. If I cannot finish 1st, Ill reveal it. How about that?

?

????

????????

As viewers went into shock, Seong Jihan stated confidently,

Ill definitely reveal it in that case. Agreed?

The promise was that he would reveal his status window if he didnt get 1st place in any future game.

The chat started flooding with laughter.

Not just a winning streak, but 1st place in every game? Haha.

Hahaha.

Does he think finishing 1st is easy?

Hes bluffing to attract attention. It seems like hes become too arrogant after finishing 1st consecutively.

Achieving 1st place in Battle Net was something that even the most exceptional players couldnt casually guarantee. While winning the game itself often relied more on skill than luck, as long as you ended up in the top 50%, luck was less of a factor. However, 1st place required both skill and luck to align.

If he talks like that, he will end up meeting a troll and shedding bloody tears.

True lol

This is a team game too, right? You might meet one right away.

Flash! Flash!

As Seong Jihans declaration was being widely discussed, players who would be his teammates in the defense map began to appear one by one.

Hello~!!!! Nice to meet you all! Im Streamer Golden Light. Today, Ill be exploring the deep sea with all of you once again! The broadcast started a bit late today, right? I was checking out the auction house Oh Seong, Seong Jihan-nim!?

From the Warrior class, Streamer Golden Light, whom he had encountered in Survival, appeared.

Tsk Se..Seong Jihan.

From the Mage class, it was Kim Gyuhyuk, who had suffered in the defense map against Seong Jihan.

.

From the Archer class

Thump! Thump!

A foreign man with a long beard effortlessly juggling a soccer ball was revealed.

????

Is this for real?

After that, the chat exploded.

* * *

Todays going to be legendary, hahaha.

Gangnam Leagues top three problems are all gathered together.

How dare you try to finish 1st again!

You shall not finish 1st!

This is K Battle Net!

Was Battle Net upholding justice by breaking through Seong Jihans arrogant declaration?

The members summoned to be on Seong Jihans team were quite remarkable.

The so-called top three from Gangnams Bronze League.

The renowned man, Streamer Golden Light.

The magic user with a fluctuating strength, Kim Gyuhyuk.

And

The God of Soccer.

Diego Masid!

The archer who shoots soccer balls instead of arrows!

Diego Masid was an Archer who was considered the worst team player.

Despite being a long-range dealer, he never dealt any damage and only threw soccer balls, making him a legendary troller.

His playing pattern was simple. He throws soccer balls from his inventory of 10 slots, and once he uses up all 10 soccer balls, he stands still until he gets defeated.

In a different Bronze League, people might consider this a comedic act, or it might pass as entertainment. But in the most serious and intense Gangnam Area, the situation is different.

Teaming up with players like him in such a serious and competitive environment made the others want to tear their hair out.

However

Upon seeing Diego Masids name in the chat, Seong Jihans eyes widened.

Masid?

Diego Masid, Argentinas top player. He was a powerful player who had upheld the ranking of Argentinas league all by himself. While he didnt make it to the final ten countries and eventually fell in battle. Still, his unique playstyle garnered him high fame even after his fall.

But he was a Mage class?

Remembering the videos of Masid he had seen before, Seong Jihan smirked. His appearance was vastly different from the clean look in the videos. His face was untidy due to the long beard, and his body was lean and emaciated.

As Seong Jihan silently gazed at Masid, Masid lifted his head and said in broken Korean, Dont mind me.

After stumbling through some Korean words, Masid kicked the ball again. It must be at this point that he earns the title of a true troll.

But he doesnt seem interested in communication.

There was no need to waste time on a partner who clearly had no intention of conversing. There was no need to pour time into someone who seemed unwilling to engage in a conversation.

Seong Jihan turned his head, deciding to gather information about him later.

Seong Jihan-nim! I cant believe were meeting like this! Nice to meet you!

Streamer Golden Light approached Seong Jihan in an excited state.

.

Mage Kim Gyuhyuk stood there with an expression that remained as distrustful as ever.

To think Id end up matching with this guy again

He wanted to give him advice as his senior, but that arrogant Jihan had thrown him off of the tower, and remembering that made him want to attack right away.

One doesnt avoid feces because its scary but because its dirty Gyuhyuk mentally claimed victory and decided to hold back. After all, if he picked up on him, he would die again.

Everyone, todays broadcast is amazing. Not only are we playing a team game with the talk of the town, Seong Jihan-nim, but also Oh my, to have all three of Gangnams top players in one place!

Hah, the top three of Gangnam. Who came up with that? I want to sue whoever coined that phrase.

Haha, thats true. Oh, but Kim Gyuhyuk-nim youre a Mage, right?

Kim Gyuhyuk gave Streamer Golden Light a side glance.

Streamer Golden Light was decked out in A-rank equipment. He was not someone to be taken lightly.

Out of his mouth, polite language naturally flowed.

Indeed.

Thats strange. I was sure Seong Jihan-nim was a Mage class because he used Fire earlier in the broadcast.

That Fuc No, that person When he was summoned with me, he appeared as a Support.

Wow! Really?? Seong Jihan-nim, what in the world Could you give a satisfying answer for the viewers?

Streamer Golden Light looked at Seong Jihan with sparkling eyes.

Expecting an answer, his gaze was filled with anticipation.

Seong Jihan brushed it off nonchalantly.

That might be difficult. After all, I made a bet on my channel.

Come on, dont be like that!

But more importantly.

Seong Jihan cut off Streamer Golden Lights investigation and brought up the main topic.

Ill be heading down to the bottom, so Ill leave the top to you guys.

Huh?
