chapter 20
I suppressed my heart.
If I give in to such trivial temptations, my goal of living happily as a landlord in Yeonhui-dong will collapse.
‘Focus on streaming!’
Ji-ah Seo, Ji-soo Seo.
Since they were playing with me for the first time, the younger ones explained things a little more slowly.
“Did you tell me before? Don’t aim for the vitals, attack slowly. If possible, attack the ankles, if difficult, target the thighs first.”
From my point of view, it is difficult to finish off the Big Fist Monkey in one hit with the skills of the newcomers.
If you touch a vital point to finish it all at once and lose aggro, something uncomfortable will happen.
It’s because it seems that it will be difficult to withstand a single punch from Big Fist Monkey with the defensive power of the newbies.
“answer.”
It’s too obvious for a raid, but the answer is essential.
That way you can check that the chain of command is running.
Even when I was in practice, I always answered.
“Yes.”
“I got it.”
Their bodies became semi-invisible.
It was quite a stealth ability for a low level.
right and left.
The two approached the Big Fist Monkey and swung their daggers at it.
Perhaps because the attack point itself was a bit low, the attacking posture was clumsy.
It was very frustrating, but since I was a beginner, I decided to do it.
“Cha Jin-sol, prepare yourself.”
“uh? uh? Ah Okay.”
“Don’t be foolish.”
I usually try to be kind to Cha Jin-sol, but on the set, my words don’t come out well.
Why did the monarchs in charge of the field curse and buy it so much, but now I think I understand their feelings.
“Ah Okay.”
The big fist monkey was pounding the tree mountain fortress with repeated blows.
Soon the tree acidity will be broken.
“It will break soon.”
“yes.”
Jinsol Cha looked nervous.
He seemed to think that if he made a mistake, Mok Hyon could die.
Accurate.
If you make a mistake, you may die.
Kwazijik-!
The forest castle was broken, and the fist of the king-fisted monkey hit Wood-hyeon’s stomach.
puck!
“Aww!”
Woodhyun’s body floated.
A rib or two must have been broken.
Compared to the screaming, it’s a minor injury.
Cha Jin-sol also moved much better than I thought.
Heal immediately healed the wound on the wooden string.
As befits a 9-star job, the healing ability was quite excellent.
“Now, let’s unfold the Sumoksanseong Fortress again.”
The wooden string that had been scattered on the floor barely managed to get up and prepare to use the Sumoksanseong again.
‘Five? Wake up.’
He screamed so loudly at the subject of minor injuries, so I thought it was okay, but it was unexpected.
Humans are sensitive to pain.
When too much pain comes, I can’t even do what I normally do well.
I thought Mok Hyon would do the same, but he was doing quite well.
‘I need to roll more.’
Originally, if you do well, roll more is the national rule.
‘Maybe it’s because it’s a 9-star job, he has a good fighting sense.’
There must have been a lot of pain, but I opened the forest mountain castle again right away.
I didn’t even tell him to, but he used a wooden spear to pull aggro again.
It was useless from my point of view – since the aggro was already taken – it was a pretty hypothetical effort.
“Okay, then repeat the same thing.”
This is where the boring part begins.
‘Will it take about four hours if I proceed like this?’
Little by little, I’m going to encroach on the Big Fist Monkey.
In four hours, it was very compliant and fast.
When I was playing, there was a time when I fought for months to catch a monster.
Still, it was obvious that going on like this would be boring.
Except for the fact that Mok Hyun was slightly injured, there is no tension in the game.
“We will proceed in this way. It’s going to be a pretty boring time.”
I don’t think there will be any viewers who will watch this boring video to the end.
“The results of the hunting video will be released separately later.”
I’ll have to summarize and post it later.
uh?
But if you turn off the broadcast, can’t I fight myself?
* * *
Seo Ji-ah and Seo Ji-soo were physically exhausted.
‘tiring.’
It felt like we had been fighting for almost 2 hours already.
It was my first time playing like this.
‘But it’s fun.’
The process of producing results by matching hands and feet under someone’s active plan and direction.
This process was subtly enjoyable.
Seo Ji-soo sighed heavily and hid again.
‘I think I can attack the vitals soon.’
At that time, Cha Jin-hyeok came closer.
“What, what are you doing?”
A dagger was in Cha Jin-hyeok’s hand.
It didn’t look like a special artifact.
Meanwhile, Sergeia stabbed Alexandrel in the thigh.
At that timing, Cha Jin-hyeok stabbed Alexandrel in the neck.
Immediately, aggro jumped at Cha Jin-hyuk.
‘Wow, aggro is dragged so easily?’
It wasn’t unexpected, but it tanked surprisingly well.
Cha Jin-hyeok looked at Alexander without much embarrassment.
Alexander swung his fist.
‘Relay barrier.’
bang!
The fist of the king fist monkey did not harm Cha Jin-hyeok.
Seo Ji-soo hurriedly shouted.
“Why is the streamer suddenly interfering! What are you doing, Woodhyun! Quickly use a wooden spear and take it back with Uggro!”
The moment I shouted like that.
Alexandrel’s fist extended toward Cha Jin-hyuk’s temple.
For a moment, Seo Ji-soo felt as if the sky was turning yellow.
Yes, I was able to get it somehow with luck.
I heard that even streamers have special powers to protect themselves.
But twice is too much.
I was sure because I had fought with Alexandrel for over an hour.
‘If hit, you’ll really die!’
How could he receive that attack with the body of a streamer, not a tanker?
The blurry membrane that protected Cha Jin-hyeok’s body earlier has long since disappeared.
‘I have to change the attack trajectory!’
I moved my body in a hurry, but the speed of the giant fist monkey was faster.
I swung the big fist monkey’s right arm wide.
‘no!’
Cha Jin-hyeok lowered his head slightly and shifted his weight to the front right.
Whoo-!
The fist missed.
Cha Jin-hyeok looked too dangerous.
Because it looked as if he had narrowly avoided it by a piece of paper.
Cha Jin-hyeok, who barely escaped the attack, stabbed the dagger in his right hand into Alexander’s stomach.
Fu-wook!
dug deep into the pit.
The Great Fisted Monkey let out a painful scream, then lay down on the floor and trembled.
His pupils were dilated and he was drooling.
Seo Ji-soo opened her eyes wide.
‘what?’
Having fought in person, I was well aware of how tough the hide of the Great Fist Monkey was.
But how can you pierce the pit so easily?
The giant fist monkey’s body drooped.
I was barely breathing, but I felt like I would die soon if I left it alone.
“… … Aren’t you a streamer?”
“Right?”
“Why is the streamer’s attack power so strong?”
“It’s because I aim well when I’m tired. If you poke well at the timing of your inhalation, you will go in well. The attack power is also maximized.”
timing.
And the relay barrier was used for attack instead of defense.
“It’s a shame I was lucky to dodge it, I would have died if I had been hit.”
In Seo Ji-soo’s view, Cha Jin-hyeok was too dangerous.
Because it seemed to be dodging by a narrow margin.
“Is avoiding something like that in the first place?”
You need to dodge with minimal movement to properly time your attack.
In other words, avoiding by the narrowest possible means avoiding it best.
“You have to brag in moderation, then you die!”
“I did this because I thought I wouldn’t die.”
“Oh really!”
This was an intuition that could only be imprinted after a lot of experience and know-how were accumulated.
There was no specific way to explain it.
‘But I didn’t know, so I even tried getting hit.’
It was not enough to analyze the attack pattern of the giant fist monkey for more than an hour, so I received it with my own body.
To be honest, being able to rehearse to this extent on set was a blessing.
‘If I can’t attack properly even after rehearsing this far, I’m not human.’
Seo Ji-soo, who was not satisfied with Cha Jin-hyeok’s explanation, seemed to be still dissatisfied.
“I know you’re pissed off because you’ve been deprived of fun.”
“what?”
“Anyway, the results are good, right?”
Is it a sign that you want to enjoy all the fun yourself?
I also endured and endured, but it was such a good timing that I just intervened.
While Cha Jin-hyeok was contemplating whether he should say that or not, Seo Ji-soo continued.
“If you have such strong offensive power, you should help a little earlier.”
“That timing was the best.”
The point where maximum safety and maximum efficiency intersect.
It intervened at that point.
“If it was going to be like this in the first place, it would be nice if you told me the strategy a little earlier. Do you know how surprised I am? I thought you were going to die.”
“Would this have worked if I told you in advance?”
“What?”
“You couldn’t have properly focused on your attack because you were paying attention to the strategy?”
Cha Jin-hyeok has a relatively accurate grasp of their abilities.
It wasn’t enough to use such sophisticated strategies together.
So I just made each of them focus on their own work and then intervened at the right timing.
“Do you think you could have made that timing intentionally?”
“… … I feel strangely ignored.”
“I was just stating a fact.”
“… … .”
“Good.”
“What?”
“You are good at agreeing to the right words. There are many kids who can’t do that. Still, there are advantages.”
“That’s Okay. don’t tell me Even if I didn’t tell you about the strategy, the three of us would fight together in the first place. That would have been better.”
“I am a streamer. Originally, filming is my job, so can we fight together?”
These were the words and promises Cha Jin-hyeok said to himself.
“… … Yes, a streamer.”
Which streamer has more attack power than me?
Jisoo Seo didn’t even say that.
The most absurd thing was that the streamer had little awareness of how absurd his attack power was.
‘I think he thinks he’s rather weak?’
He seemed a bit disappointed with his own attack power.
That strange gap was strange.
* * *
I got closer to Alexander, who was barely breathing, and stabbed him in the heart.
Because it is protected by the ribs, it was difficult to pierce it at once.
hooked!
finally broke through
A lot of blood splattered.
It’s not safe to say that it’s been pierced once.
hooked! hooked!
It has to come to an end for sure.
It ends only when you finish the confirmation kill.
‘ah… … It keeps coming out with bad habits.’
It’s always fun to play on your own.
The feeling of swinging the sword after narrowly avoiding the monster’s attack was thrilling.
I rationalize that ‘this is only possible at low levels’, but it’s not easy to control my nature.
‘This taste!’
no,
This isn’t it.
hooked! hooked! hooked!
‘This is just a procedure to confirm the kill.’
hooked! hooked! hooked!
‘I don’t like things like this anymore.’
You can stop the stabbing only when you hear the notification.
It’s not because of the taste.
A notification was heard.
[You have killed the Big Fist Monkey.]
hooked! hooked! hooked!
[The level has risen.]
[The level has risen.]
hooked! hooked! hooked!
[You have reached level 34.]
Oh, the level has risen.
You have already reached level 34.
hooked! hooked! hooked!
‘Didn’t I just have to relay everything?’
The level-up speed of streamers varies depending on the number of viewers and broadcast reactions.
Leveling up is that fast if a lot of viewers watched it.
‘Ah, again!’
You should avoid leveling up too quickly, but aim for another quick leveling up while you calm down for a while.
My mind got a little complicated.
‘Wouldn’t it be better to cut the part where I fight myself in the future?’
This is the part that requires some thought.
I’m not familiar with streaming, but I do know that ‘sustainable content’ should be used as content anyway.
No matter how well I play, I’m level 100.
No matter how regressive I am, I can’t become a landlord in Yeonhui-dong within level 100.
I can’t keep pushing this concept.
‘This will take some more thought.’
[Achievement, ‘All Clear (Sarah Dungeon)’ has been achieved.]
‘All clear?’
In fact, I expected that achievements would be given.
Even if you only hunted the champion monkey on the 2nd floor, you were given two ‘first’ roll achievements.
I thought that hunting the Great Fist Monkey on the 3rd floor would give me a bigger achievement.
All Clear was an achievement that appeared only when all clear elements and hidden pieces in the dungeon were put together.
‘Even when I was the Sword King, I couldn’t do it a few times.’
all clear.
I couldn’t even dream of this level.
Even if you follow the standard strategy, there were many cases where all clears did not appear.
Luck, timing, strategy, and even the smallest elements had to be satisfied, so it was impossible to artificially display ‘all clear’.
‘To clear all of this level.’
heart pounding,
Without realizing it, my heart started beating again.
I just checked my achievements.
