Chapter 4: Hyung, you said you gamed a little in the past? (4)
Jinhyuk didn’t seem to take me into consideration.
The number of viewers was between four and five hundred, as Jinhyuk had said.
‘I love you Jinhyuk’ sponsored 10,000 won!
[Oppa, what colour? And are you doing the game missions?]
After Jinhyuk’s broadcast turned on, his first gift came within 10 minutes.
From the nickname to the sponsorship message.
It was a textbook pervert.
Suddenly asking for the colour of his underwear?
While I was glaring at the chat window with a look of contempt, Jinhyuk replied with a natural smile.
“Today it’s black, and I will soon begin the mission to win a duo match with my brother. Did you say 3 attempts? I’ll finish it in one, so watch carefully.”
My dongsaeng, my dongsaeng can’t do this.
The life of my younger brother, which I had saved, became like this because of money.
But I couldn’t say anything.
This was the first time in my life I had seen this kind of thing on a broadcast, so my mind blanked.
While I was watching the chat move in a daze, the game soon began.
A large map was created before us.
There were about ten red dots on the map.
‘Fairy of Choices’ sponsored 1,000 won!
[Go to the training hall, the training hall.]
The training hall.
It was a famous location that even I, who had never played, knew about.
Excalibur was a game where a total of 60 players would compete for survival.
To be the last survivor, you would need to avoid the magical death shroud that encroached every second, and loot armour and weapons hidden in various areas across the map.
Among those places, the training hall was where most players would gather.
The reason was simple.
Legendary equipment would spawn from time to time, and various types of support gear would be abundant.
Of course, there were risks.
As with all games in this genre, flies land wherever there is a lot to eat.
It was the most common place for early battles to break out.
A map that could be called hell for beginners.
However, Jinhyuk didn’t seem to take me into consideration.
As soon as he received the sponsor gift, he selected the drill hall without missing a beat.
“Greetings to the Fairy of Choices who has chosen me.”
Then, he looked at me shamelessly and said: “Hyung, you can just die. You know that, right? I’m rich anyways, and this section is just a massacre. Hyung, winning is just a state of mind.”
I decided to ignore his impudent words.
It had been a long time since I gamed, so I felt great.
I’d said I would never play virtual reality games again, but even just logging in made me feel so good.
It felt like I’d returned home.
After a moment passed, the two of us were suddenly moving towards <The Training Hall>.
It was a cramped space, with training scarecrows everywhere.
And soon, coloured items appeared in front of my eyes.
“When you first start out, you learn by dying. So, pick up whatever you want and check it out. Back when I first did this, I was solo and reached the target.”
Could you at least tell your hyung something useful?
By the way, my dongsaeng. Our relationship…. Um, we weren’t…. Close…. But it’s not easy to be alone. That’s a good way of saying it.
Jinhyukie didn’t care about me and disappeared out of sight to farm his own items.
As soon as he was gone, I slowly moved around and looked at my surroundings.
Anyways, the synchronisation rate was really great.
At its best, the sync in <Gaia Online> had been just over five percent, but the level of sensation I was experiencing right now was probably only a little bit below that.
“Haaaaaap!”
It was while I was looking around the training field, enjoying the unfamiliar sensations.
There was a sudden shout and I saw a sword swinging towards me. I slipped backwards and looked at the attacker.
Shining golden armour, and a purple sword.
They were both equipment that looked extremely handy to have.
I forced my shoulders back to avoid the ensuing attack and grasped a crowbar that was rolling about on the floor for now.
My first weapon was a crowbar.
This would be enough.
When I smiled slightly as I held the crowbar, the female player who had attacked me shook and shouted:
“C-crazy bastard!”
“Yes?”
“You’re giving me the creeps!”
You attacked me first, why are you being like this to me?
Meaning: What colour underwear are you wearing? It’s harassment, plain and simple.
If you've played PUBG, it's the red circle of death, but it's a common thing in pretty much every battle royale type game because it forces players closer together until they can no longer avoid a confrontation.
Choco has something to say: Lmao, should I feel sorry for the MC here or his little brother? He's acting like his little brother's innocence is disappearing hahaha.
