I Have a Reason to Hate Streamers

“Stop calling me ‘sister,’ will you? You really don’t listen at all!”

Even though the typos were severe, it wasn’t unreadable.

That probably meant another party had arrived.

Well, I’m not a pro gamer or anything, it’s clearly overkill to invest in taking out just one sniper.

But… they did say someone took the items and ran.

I suppose they have a reason to want to kill until they get it back.

The fighter was still fiercely battling as his health bar kept fluctuating.

Seeing that had me momentarily pondering.

‘Should I go help?’

Do I really need to? I feel like I’ve done my part.

I did promise that if Myeolgongui survived, I’d get an extra 20 million gold.

But assassins aren’t babysitters. I can’t be sure if Myeolgongui will survive while I’m busy killing the enemies.

If luck’s not on my side, I might end up suffering without a reward too.

Can’t I just quit the party and go look for some arena matches instead?

I was already satisfied after killing the streamer.

Dongmi-cham had turned off the stream silently, and the hunt was pretty much a wash anyway.

And right at that moment, I received a demotivating message on my interface.

[Hekong’s Whisper]
– This is the SSA guild master. We’ve declared war on the house above us.
– Thanks to that, we can breathe a little easier.
– You’ve worked hard. The completion fee will be paid in the same way as the advance.

Still, my legs kept moving toward the battlefield.

There was one thing I really wanted to confirm.

*

The sniper’s gunfire was echoing nonstop.

The situation was 2:5, a clear disadvantage, but surprisingly, nobody was getting wiped out all at once.

Thanks to the fighter, Hundoshimania’s valiant effort.

He was fully utilizing the support from the sniper while focusing on preventing the enemy assassins from escaping.

The overwhelming specs of the top siege guild surely helped, but fundamentally, it seemed like their skill was impressive too.

Yet, there remained a limit.

High-end spec fighters are like tightly packed hexagons.

Damage, defense, even combat endurance — they seem perfect on the surface, but they also tend to be a straightforward class.

In situations where raw power falls short, the best option is to take hits without dying too hard.

They can’t create variables.

The arrows embedded in the fighter’s body were a testament to that.

[Hundoshimania’s Whisper]
– N;M
– W;D
– Cut some
– Arch; 2

As expected, an urgent message came through.

A request to kill two enemy archers while holding the line.
Knowing there might not be a better way, I quickly tracked the arrows’ trajectories.

One was above a pile of containers in a hangar.

The other one… is hard to spot.

They kept moving, making them difficult to track down.

The difference in skill between the two archers was obvious.

It might be better to think about the harder-to-find one later.

Alright. The target is set.

First, I’ll take out the easier one.

Once I reduce their numbers, everything will be easier.

[Party Member Info]
[Myeolgongui Hyetbul (Sniper) – Remaining Health: 76%]
[Hundoshimania (Fighter) – Remaining Health: 27%]

Time was running out.

Hundoshimania’s health had dropped significantly since the last time I checked.

It must have been a huge burden.

I thought it was too much to keep the assassin occupied, and he was just focusing on holding off the paladin.

The enemy must have been searching for our sniper by now.

In the meantime, I stealthily approached the archer who was happily shooting arrows.

They seemed to have caught on halfway, but it was too late.

In a close encounter between the archer and the assassin, I had the upper hand in both specs and skill.

My dagger could pierce the archer’s heart in no time.

[Adventurer King’s Stag Guys has been forcefully eliminated.]
[Due to the opponent’s surprise attack…]

The shaman nearby was an extra.

They seemed to have taken my presence too lightly.

Did they not hear about the fallen Dongmi-cham?

What were they doing to haven’t briefed anyone?

There must have been means to contact them outside the game.

The archer whom I had earlier ignored shot towards me, but our sniper responded.

They successfully claimed the shaman’s life.

Was it right to shoot just earlier?

[Adventurer Always Serving Shaman has been forcefully eliminated.]
[Due to the opponent’s surprise attack…]

Snipers have a long range, but their gunfire is loud and their trajectory easily exposed.

They must have figured out my location by now.

But it’s alright; they wouldn’t have shot unless they were sure. They’re not stupid, after all.

Anyway, with the shaman down, it turned into a tie.

Our fighter’s health was beaten up, but we had a significant spec advantage.

I could expect some decent effort from him.

Just as a brief moment passed.

I received a pleasant message while searching for the enemy archer.

[Hundoshimania has eliminated Homo Science.]
[Hundoshimania was killed by BurningPantyFairy.]

Our fighter eventually managed to kill the paladin.

It looked like he couldn’t handle the arrow that followed, but thanks to that, I was able to locate the archer.

This one was surprisingly quick on their feet.

As soon as their position got exposed, they seemed to move. But I wasn’t clumsy enough to miss someone I’ve already seen.

If escape was that easy, why would anyone even bother with an assassin?

Dodging the incoming arrows with my dagger, I closed the distance.

The boring chase didn’t last long, as the archer’s direction happened to lead towards our sniper.

Bang—! A bullet lodged itself into the archer’s forehead who had been bouncing around.

[Myeolgongui Hyetbul has eliminated BurningPantyFairy.]

However, there was one thing Myeolgongui Hyetbul hadn’t considered.

Was the enemy archer really moving there by pure coincidence?

That couldn’t be.

The archer must have headed towards the enemy assassin to throw me off.

After all, only I had the finesse to track their location through the bullet trajectory.

Then, where could the enemy assassin be now?

[Myeolgongui Hyetbul has been killed by Piling Bald Man.]

That was the moment my 20 million gold flew away.

[Title: Is there a way to increase sensory fusion rate above 30%?]

It’s not a big deal,

I’m just curious.

[Comments]
– It’s not impossible, but why?
└ Just really curious.
– If you search for VOS jailbreak, a way will come up, but you’d better not.
└ (External link: Sensory Fusion Rate Limit Release) Can I look at this?
└ It’s legit, but seriously, why do you want to do it?
└ The reason the limit is set at 15% is clear; don’t do it if you’re told not to.
└ Even 30% can hurt like hell if you get it wrong…

[Title: Has Gawol ever done streaming or anything?]

I know she isn’t doing it now,

But has she never done it once?

Has she not appeared in any offline events?

I mean, Gawol is quite famous; there should be at least one picture floating around.

[Comments]
– Why are you trying to stalk her? I’m scared.
└ I’m not stalking; I’m just asking if there are pictures, damn it.
– There must have been plenty of people trying to dig that up before.
– Fans of Traveler searched relentlessly when he died, but nothing came up.
└ Did nothing come out at that time?
└ Yep, nothing.

[Title: I’m planning to learn wrestling starting today.]

Anyone ever tried it?

Where should I go?

And what’s the gender ratio like?

[Comments]
– Why on earth are you curious about the gender ratio?
– The guy suddenly lost his mind.
– Dongtan…

The death penalty in Infinity Black is not light.

Specifically, there’s a four-hour access ban, but dying with infamy can lead to losing experience or even a temporary stat decrease.

Some items even come with risks like “destroyed upon death” or “ownership relinquished.”

These aren’t your average items; they’re typically used by guilds.

Such items are used as materials for powerful siege weapons because making strategic weapons too easy is problematic.

And just a day prior, I heard Myeolgongui saying:

– I secretly stole a few unique items when I left the guild. I was an officer, you know.

Does he still have those items now?

Is that the reason SSA guild went out of their way to support Myeolgongui?

The condition for Myeolgongui to hand over those unique items could’ve been his protection.

If my guess is right… the unique items must be in the possession of the one who killed Myeolgongui.

My dagger accurately pierced the space between his brows.

[Adventurer Piling Bald Man has been forcefully eliminated.]
[Due to the opponent’s surprise attack, you do not receive the PK penalty.]
[You have obtained the unique item ‘Dragon’s Tear.’]

This was the reason I risked and returned to the fight.

It turned out to be a very efficient farming.
