chapter 29
Joseph did not return to the United States.
I had to somehow make contact with Kim Chul-soo (Cha Jin-hyeok).
His instincts as a star maker wriggled.
‘Kim Cheol-soo was born to become a star!’
He was closely watching all the real-time broadcasts and videos of Kim Cheol-soo in order to get a closer look at him.
He said that he was using the ‘mask of the deceiver’, and the broadcast was going on with the faces of the team members changed.
The broadcast is still in first person view.
I listened to the expression and words of Kim Jung-hyun (the face was different, but Joseph could easily infer Kim Jung-hyun’s identity).
“Us… … come back alive… … can… … would you?”
‘This is absolutely not smoke.’
Egan Paul also does this kind of dramatic directing often.
However, there are many cases where the story writers fill in the narrative gaps and the players’ acting is the basis.
There are even acting teachers scouted from Hollywood for proper acting.
Joseph prided himself on having a very good eye, and through Kim Jung-hyun’s words, it was not difficult to feel that the situation was a ‘real situation’.
The system of SSP (System Streaming Platform) was amazing.
‘It’s a first-person perspective, so the sense of immersion is no joke.’
before going down to the first floor.
The golden golem almost hit Kim Cheol-soo’s face.
“Ugh… … !”
Even Joseph, who was watching the video, closed his eyes.
Every situation was lively and full of tension.
I swallowed my saliva.
‘It’s not the picture Kim Chul-soo intended and drew.’
What kind of lunatic would do this?
No one would risk their life to do something like this.
If there were, there would be only crazy people.
raw, unrefined.
There was a subtle sensibility that stimulates the peripheral nerves in his broadcast.
Because the golden golem was stronger than expected, Kim Cheol-soo’s team members were in great trouble.
‘Kim Cheol-soo must be in great agony right now.’
Of course, that was Joseph’s mistake.
Hearing Kim Jung-hyun’s question, “Can we return alive?” Cha Jin-hyeok secretly sighed.
‘Even you who trusted me.’
Seeing his face full of sorrow, I let out a sigh.
My colleague, Kim Jung-hyun, had a very strong mentality.
‘Nope. Let’s not get frustrated. He’s not the Kim Jung-hyun back then.’
Instinct and reason kept colliding, so I had to control my mind.
Jinhyeok Cha said.
“Of course you have to come back alive. Didn’t you feel anything strange when you went upstairs?”
“Weird… … thing… … Yo?”
“I couldn’t see any weaknesses.”
The brass golem and the bronze golem, which can be said to be inferior to the golden golem.
The two entities had a shining magic stone on their chests.
However, I couldn’t find anything like that in the golden golem.
“Perhaps the nuke is hidden elsewhere.”
The nucleus is elsewhere.
“I wonder if we can find a clue on the first floor.”
I don’t want to, but here it is.
Cha Jin-hyeok had already realized this from the moment he first entered.
The stairs leading to the second floor are divided into two forks.
Meanwhile, a very large golem statue stood out from the beginning.
“There is a statue in front of the stairs. Aren’t you suspicious?”
This was a feeling I gained from experience.
I didn’t have any outstanding skills like a guide or explorer, but I already knew from experience that it was suspicious.
However, other team members did not have that kind of experience.
“Awards… … Do you?”
“What is suspicious?”
Everyone turned their attention to the statue.
I didn’t know what was suspicious.
Cha Jin-hyeok opened his mouth today, thinking, ‘I need to lower my standards even more’.
“Let’s examine that statue.”
* * *
I tapped the statue.
‘It’s very hard.’
Despite the statue, the defense itself seemed to be similar to or better than that of the golden golem.
“It will be difficult to break with a simple attack.”
At my words, all the children’s expressions darkened.
no guys
What would you do if you were so happy and excited about my words?
There is not a single kid who will step out and hit it once.
It was a pity that I was intimidated by just one word.
Still, I didn’t really say anything because I thought it was a pretty good direction for broadcasting.
“Let’s think of a way.”
Actually, there is no way.
It just takes a while, but you can break it by just hitting it.
‘Because I just need to cut along the grain.’
All objects have a texture.
It wasn’t scientifically proven, but it was a special line that some swordsmen who reached the level could see.
If you cut along that line, even the hardest object will be cut.
FYI, it looks vague to my eyes.
‘It doesn’t look as good as before, though.’
When he was the Sword King, he could see it very clearly.
There was also a skill to find a conclusion.
It doesn’t look that good now, but I can feel it roughly.
Because I have all the memories and experiences of the me who ate and sharpened like crazy.
‘I’d like to buy a long sword from the relay store and try cutting it.’
I want to cut like crazy.
‘But I have to put up with it.’
It feels like there’s no turning back once you cross this line.
Also, I think I should refrain from being too active in broadcasting.
‘My broadcasting concept right now is the growth period of weaklings.’
The concept should not be jagged.
“Moo Jae-hyeon. Do you have planting skills?”
“There is.”
“Let’s use it.”
“What about food?”
“Oh, sow the seeds here. By planting your roots as deeply as possible.”
Woodhyun had a questionable expression on his face, but as always, he listened very well.
He looked at me and used his skill.
Seeds were sown on the statue.
“No, man, put a little more sincerity into your hands.”
“… … Do you want to be sincere?”
The results are very different between just using skills and using them with all your heart and sincerity.
Even if you have the same skill, the result is very different depending on who uses it and how.
“yes. By imagining and materializing more images.”
“Uh, what do you imagine?”
“The roots are very thick, big and hard. And a root plant that digs very deep.”
This is the basic use of skills.
The caster must concentrate his mind and materialize his imagination.
The more specific the imagination, the greater the power of the skill.
“I do, I will try.”
Woodhyun grunted and used the dragon diligently.
About two hours passed like that.
* * *
Still, I did better than I thought because I taught.
Dozens of small trees had grown on the statue.
It looked like a small tree from the outside, but it had huge roots growing deep.
Seo Ji-soo looked at the statue and said as if he had suddenly remembered it.
“Come to think of it… … There was a lot of water leaking in the basement of our apartment. They said that the reason was the root of a tree blah blah blah. The adults fought a lot while repairing the defects.”
I don’t know much about that either.
I’ve only seen a few times that players who deal with plants break bedrock in this way.
Soon after, Kim Jung-hyun stepped forward and threw his fist at the statue.
thud! thud!
With a loud noise, powder began to fall from the statue.
Soon, Seo Ji-soo hugged Cha Jin-sol and shouted.
“I found it, sister!”
“It’s nuclear!”
The two embraced and loved each other.
I don’t know when the two of them became so close.
I continued to broadcast in my own way.
“Luckily you found the nucleus.”
It was quite enjoyable that my eyesight worked.
It is also very fun to find the attack.
Looking at it through the eyes of a relayer, I was able to get more accurate information.
[Golden Golem’s outer core]
“That seems to be the outer core. Having an outer core seems to mean that there is also an inner core.”
At the same time, notifications continued.
[The outer core of the golden golem has been exposed.]
[The 2nd and 1st floors are connected.]
‘what. I didn’t expect this.’
bang! bang!
A loud noise was heard.
It was the sound of a golden golem breaking the second floor gate.
I felt a little dangerous, and my heart started pounding.
The children’s faces hardened.
“It looks like the golden golem, feeling the danger, will come down to the first floor. Shall we destroy the outer core first?”
That’s what the youngsters decided to do.
The outer core is not life.
It is a situation where you can focus only on attack without paying attention to defense and stealth.
In this situation, the abilities of the youngsters are maximized.
[The outer core of the golden golem has been destroyed.]
The door on the second floor was smashed.
The massive body of the golden golem was revealed.
The golden golem jumped straight from the second floor to the first floor.
thud!
an oppressive look.
“Okay, let’s reposition ourselves.”
If you’re like a seasoned player, you’ll find your place on your own.
It was difficult to expect such things from them.
“Cha Jin-sol, stay next to me. The crooks split left and right and hid behind a pillar over there. Mok Hyun, seven steps ahead. And follow Kim Jung-hyun, three steps away.”
Wow, this is harder than I thought.
It was quite an ordeal to lead and explain what I knew instinctively into words.
In any case, the ranks were roughly set.
And since I wasn’t crazy about strength, I was faithful to my main job, streaming.
“It is much slower than before. It seems that the outer core is destroyed. Good luck out of misfortune.”
The speed is now at the level of the brass golem.
Even our kids are used to it at that speed.
“Only the first attack was taken by Mok-hyeon, and the subsequent attacks were taken by Kim Jeong-hyeon. Its destructive power is strong, but its speed is comparable to that of a brass golem, so you should be able to avoid it.”
“Yes.”
“Yes!”
Kim Jung-hyun nodded.
There was a spleen in Kim Jung-hyun’s expression.
I guess there is a lot of tension.
It is very good to keep the right tension.
No matter how slow you are, if you get hit right, you die.
You must not relax.
“Once hit, I feel like I will die. But if it doesn’t fit, that’s okay.”
I was a bit disappointed at the weakened golden golem’s majesty.
‘It’s a normal and peaceful raid.’
Originally, a raid is a strong and fast attack without a break.
But now it’s just strong and slow attacks come flying.
Difficulty has been drastically lowered.
“The team members seem to be on the side of getting along pretty well.”
The chest of the golden golem seemed to be getting tattered, and then the skin peeled off.
In the inner corner of his chest, he saw a small shiny stone.
There were a few dangerous moments, but I didn’t betray my practice.
This is why practical experience risking one’s life is so important.
If I hadn’t built up real battles like this, my hands and feet would have become stiff and I wouldn’t have been able to show off my skills to that extent.
‘My kids are not up to the water level. Even if it’s a bit frustrating.’
At that time, powerful steam erupted from the golden golem.
The rookies approaching the golden golem were burned and rolled backwards.
A haze began to rise from the golden golem’s body, turning it red.
“Kuk!”
Kim Jung-hyun, who had stretched out his fist on the golden golem’s chest, collapsed with his fist wrapped around it.
It looked like the knuckles had been shattered because of the anti-elasticity.
“It looks like we are entering phase 2.”
The golden golem’s gaze turned this way.
It felt very alive.
“The tank completely missed the aggro. It seems to be aiming for me or the healer next to me.”
The golden golem raised its arms.
It looked like he would be using the Golden Golem’s Phase 2 skill, ‘Rocket Fist’.
The relayer’s gaze accurately read the skill content.
──────────
[Rocket Fist]
A skill that allows the golden golem to shoot its fists like rockets.
It contains magical power and boasts powerful destructive power.
──────────
Red magic power was gathering.
I kept relaying.
“Oh, that must be a bit dangerous. If you get hit, you feel like you’re going to die.”
now it’s fun
