Episode 28 – Not a Troll (3)
Streamer 'GENOME's' broadcasts are usually divided into two parts.
[GENOME]
[I won! I'll have Korean beef for dinner tonight!]
[Ranking #1 / Kills 17]
His first broadcast content today was 'Gunner Ground'. Genome smiled lightly while looking at the results table.
“Oh, it’s number one again. Guys, sniping these days isn’t like it used to be, is it?”
The chat window was filled with laughter as the unique, gruff voice was conveyed.
-The snipers are really strict lol
-No;;; My brother has gotten better
-All Korean cows will die because of the genome!
Genome let out a low laugh and glanced at the time.
“Oh, this is a bit ambiguous. I was thinking of playing one more round.”
Normally, I would have delayed the second part a bit. But today, since the second part was an 'advertisement', I had to stick to the time.
First he finished the gunner ground.
“Hey guys, we have some time to kill. What should we do?”
-Tell me the story of the competition
-How about the round of 32 of the Goti World Cup?
-Let's eat during the break.
-A game of Mystic Pakgeom?
Among the chats coming up, one thing caught his eye.
“Ah, Mystic is great. It’s perfect for intense games.”
Genome immediately launched Mystic League. When he selected ranked play, a message appeared.
<Welcome to the new season!>
<Placement evaluations are conducted based on the results of the previous season.>
<'GENOME's previous season rank was 'Platinum 4'.>
“Oh, that’s right. I was a bit busy last season so I couldn’t get a diamond.”
Genome was a skilled player who went back and forth between Platinum and Diamond. However, in previous seasons, he spent relatively less time on the Mystic League due to being caught up in other game schedules.
-Platinum (not)
-Are you going by Genome Bus? LOL
-It looks like a truck to the other person lol
-Really lol I got beat up by that guy
-Is that the police station? I'd like to report a hit-and-run accident!
While the match was being made, the viewers were going crazy. Then, with a loud thud, the view changed to the lobby.
[>I'm going to the top.]
[>Ah… You’re a top-tier patient.]
[>First, each of you pick what you want.]
[>Huh? Genie? Are you a real person?]
The in-game chat window popped up right away. When a player recognized him, Genome wrinkled his nose slightly and typed in the chat.
[>Yes, it is real. I will choose at the end.]
-Wow! This is leisure.
-I'll match it for you.
-High-class bus driver lol
-Huh? On the other side… …
-huh???
Genome tilted his head while looking at the chat while waiting for his teammates' picks.
'opponent?'
He looked at the IDs of the opposing team's players, but there was nothing particularly strange.
-Wow lol this looks kind of fun.
-Hahahahahahaha
-I wish we could be on the same line.
Still, there were some notable reactions in the chat window.
'Hmm, I guess there's a streamer.'
He quickly figured out the reason.
Genome's broadcast was basically prohibited from mentioning other streamers, so it was rather annoying.
But he wasn't a streamer he knew.
“I don’t know who you are, but you must be my business partner. Why did you have to meet me at the placement test?”
The viewers' attention was soon drawn to Genome's comments.
-Who's on the opposing team?
-I don't know
-I saw it in the community
-Me too lol but it was so awesome?
-Have you done Mystic?
-Oh lol, I want to try something spicy.
The stark reactions of those who know and those who don't. Genome wondered who that was.
“… … Yami?”

One of the opposing players, 'Perfect Play', had a champion that really stood out.
-Ugh hahahahahaha
-Why is Yami in the placement test?
-Why are you there, hyung…?
-Is that him?
-You must be on a variety show, lol
Genome's thoughts were not much different from those of the viewers.
“No, isn’t this a bit too much? Even if it’s a variety show, it’s like this. Troll champs are crossing the line.”
The first impression wasn't good.
As a fellow streamer, I understand drawing aggro, but isn't there a limit to that?
-I'm really sorry
-Really lol it's not even a ranked game, it's a placement game
-I need to try something spicy.
-Huh! You're going to beat me up, right!?
-Let's make the other team a Buddha~
Viewers also agree.
['True Education Instructor' suggests a quest!]
[Condition – Champion ‘Yami’ 10 kills]
[Success – 50,000 won]
Someone suggested a quest.
-Ugh lol 10 kills?
-I don't know about other champions, but Yami has the potential to be king.
-Really lol, you're so skinny
-This is just pocket money lol
-Hmm~! Yummy~!
-Honeyy!
['Yamijeongsikhanadeo' adds quest rewards.]
[Cumulative compensation – 70,000 won]
The rewards gradually pile up.
The genome smiled.
“I think we should make this entertainment show into a documentary.”
* * *
Meanwhile, Purple's broadcast.
-Is that real?
-Wow lol what happened to MMR?
-If you get 33 kills in one game, you'll be good enough to get promoted to the top tier lol
-Okay, okay
-Wow but no matter how I meet you, I end up meeting youㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Isn't that guy a Jonggeom?? Why are Jonggeoms at that tier?
-The guy who is good at games is just good at it;;
Lee Kyung-bok could tell who they were talking about by looking at the chat window.
“Are you really Genome? Are you the real deal and not a fake?”
When he mentioned the name directly, the chat window filled with question marks.
-What does this imply?
-Brother? What if you break the rules?
-Manager, I'm banning the room leader!
-Everyone, hands off the keyboard!
-Don't be fooled! It's a resonance trap!
-Tsu-deul Dom Hwang-cha!!
-You're already trying to establish discipline among the students?
“No, that’s not it. I was just asking because I was genuinely curious.”
This streamer was mentioned a few times during the early days of Biocrisis broadcasts. Didn't I say he was a pretty good guy?
But as viewers continued to change the subject, Lee Kyung-bok said,
“Then I will allow you to mention Genome this time. But you must keep your distance.”
-Really?
-Actually, I've been waiting for the genome mention for a long time.
-The room manager is like that too!
-Really?
-That's a lie^^
– Information) Genome has a considerable amount of experience winning streamer competitions. In particular, he has achieved MVP in the Mystic League 5 times.
-I'll just mention it lol
-ㅋㅋㅋ How did you hold back when your mouth was twitching?
– Even in ranked games, you can kill Quadra and stuff lol
-Genome refused the offer to join the team, saying he wanted to be a streamer lol
-That's right, he's good at most games besides Mystic.
-Good physical and game sense too lol
-Can I mix it with Purple?
-It's a bit hard to compare it to Fuzzy;;;
Information poured out like a dam bursting. Lee Kyung-bok checked the chat window and chose a champion.
[>Yami? Are you out of your mind?]
[>This is driving me crazy, he's the enemy.]
[>What kind of troll is this?]
[>Oh, don't joke around, seriously]
There was an immediate reaction from his teammates. At the same time, laughter filled the chat room.
-Ugh lol
-This is normal
-The last time was easy for newbies.
-I said that indirectly because I was afraid I would be reported.
-Don't be so annoying lol
-But I don't think I'd believe it if I didn't see it lol
Lee Kyung-bok tried to explain calmly.
however.
[Chat has been blocked.]
A message appeared before his eyes.
Lee Kyung-bok blinked his eyes.
"huh?"
The chat window became even more excited at that sight.
-Oh lol, look at the knife blocking
– As expected, the reaction speed is fast when it comes to flat.
-Power cut what the heck lol
-Really ㅋㅋ If you don't block at least one person, you can chat.
-Hey! Let's do some purple order!
-But you really have to see it to believe it lol
Lee Kyung-bok frowned and shook his head.
“Wow, you really do have a strong aversion to jungles. Well, I’ll unblock you if you show me.”
Soon his gaze turned to the opposing team's genome.
“Would it be faster if I cut it, Genie?”
-to????
-Genome cut declaration lol
-This confidence! It's thrilling! It's always new!
-I can't stand getting named kills!
-The corners are sharp.
The chat window began to erupt like an active volcano, and the heat soon condensed into one thing.
['Purple Credit Recovery' suggests a quest!]
[Condition – Kill player ‘GENOME’ without items]
[Success – 30,000 won]
The quest proposal made Lee Kyung-bok smile brightly.
“No, I was just going to do it, but I got another quest. I’ll gratefully accept it.”
But the reaction in the chat window was different.
-Huh? Did you see the conditions?
-No item kill ㄷㄷ
-Isn't this a cue leg? Perform an autopsy right now!
-You want me to stick to Genome without any items?
-That's also Yamiㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-30,000 won for this condition lol
-No, if this is purple, it could be a good possibility.
['Purple Bus Passenger' adds quest rewards.]
[Cumulative compensation – 80,000 won]
Even in the midst of all this, there were viewers who believed in Lee Kyung-bok.
-Ah haha I'm getting on.
-Just Yami? No, it's 'Perfect' Yami.
-This is the eldest one lol
['Perfect Yami ON' adds quest rewards.]
[Cumulative compensation – 100,000 won]
['Viewing Fee Payment' adds quest rewards.]
[Cumulative compensation – 130,000 won]
A sum that starts to increase.
Meanwhile, all players were ready and the game began.
“Huh, your eyes are so lively.”
The team members gathered at the headquarters glared at him and soon dispersed to their respective lines.
I couldn't hear the voice because the chat was blocked, but I could tell just by the atmosphere.
-You guys who don't know how to do perm lol
– Are there any passengers who curse at the bus driver while riding the bus?
-Oh my gosh, you guys… …
-I wish I had a chance to talk about how Purple went straight from Bronze.
Lee Kyung-bok glanced at the chat window and headed toward the jungle.
“First, I’ll figure out where you are, Genome.”
He was hiding in the bushes, checking the minimap, when he soon tilted his head.
'… …Why isn't it there?'
The champion chosen by Genome was 'Distorted Destiny', commonly referred to as 'DD'.
Didi is a magic ranged dealer who uses cards randomly drawn from the deck as weapons. Therefore, he has no stealth skills.
But Didi wasn't visible on any line.
'……no way?'
As one thought crossed his mind, an ominous feeling struck him at the same time.
Lee Kyung-bok threw himself in a hurry. Then, a sharp crack brushed past his ears.
"oh?"
Lee Kyung-bok immediately got into position and turned his gaze toward the sound.
The bushes swayed and the champion, Didi, came out, holding a card in his bowler hat. The two looked slightly surprised at each other.
'You guessed my location in advance?'
'It was a predicted shot, how did you avoid it?'
Genome expected him to play jungler, so he threw his card in advance to the bushes where he could hide.
But the surprise was short-lived.
“I have no personal feelings. I just accepted the quest.”
Genome quickly shuffled the deck. Didi was given five random cards each time the deck was shuffled.
It was a champion that required basic physical strength to throw cards, as well as quick judgment and analytical skills.
“This side is the same.”
Lee Kyung-bok quickly made a hand gesture while avoiding the sparking cards that answered.
Vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped around the genie's body, but he was not fazed.
As soon as he threw the cards in his hand, the cards multiplied and fell on Lee Kyung-bok in a fan shape.
'You're good at kiting.'
While Lee Kyung-bok was avoiding the attack, the freed Genome gained some distance.
He gave chase, but the genie would not allow him to approach.
-Wow lol that's crazy lol
-Good guys recognize each other… …
-The genome is good.
-Let's fight fair and square!
-Why are you doing close combat with Didi? LOL
-If you can't throw the card, you have to do itㅋㅋㅋ
-Is the Genome vs. Purple level battle real?
-We avoid each other by just a hair's breadth
The only ones who enjoyed the battle between the two champions were the viewers.
On the surface, it seemed like it would be difficult to gain the upper hand, but the parties involved thought differently.
'I'm at a disadvantage.'
Lee Kyung-bok could easily see through Genome's trick.
Yami cannot use skills if she consumes 'Chakra', but Genome can fill up skills by shuffling cards.
Of course, there is a penalty of having to replenish the cards at base when they are all used up, but Genome was the one who had the most leeway right now.
'You're inducing a war of attrition.'
To restore chakra, you had to either hit a normal attack or wait for some time to pass. However, since it did not allow access, the chakra restoration speed was slow.
-Hey, isn't this a bit bad?
-Wow lol that's what he was aiming for
-This one didn't match up well.
-I think I need to do it first
-Hyung! First, Dom Hwang Cha!
-It's a strategic retreat!
The viewers also realized this fact a beat later. There was no need to insist on a disadvantageous fight.
Why not just retreat first and then gank him later?
'No, then it might get more difficult.'
Lee Kyung-bok saw Genome and felt that his skills were truly exceptional.
'I want to win.'
The competitive spirit that had been forgotten over the years was resurfaced when I met a great opponent like Genome.
During my school days, the embers of the idea that games were about 'winning' began to burn again.
'And if you take it out now, the genome becomes stronger.'
He had a penalty of not having a stat, but Genome didn't have that. If he was given time, he would definitely come back stronger.
'then……!'
Lee Kyung-bok smiled with shining eyes.
-Ah! Purplesonsu! He's laughing! He was cornered and now he's laughing!
-Oh, you have a killer smile.
-When Purple laughs… someone dies… …
-Are you a messenger of death? Lol
The viewers' reaction wasn't entirely wrong.
This was because a plan to catch the genome came to Lee Kyung-bok's mind.
* * *
The genome was laughing for another reason.
“Huh, this isn’t entertainment. It’s real.”
I expected that he would do Yami well on a variety show since he has the same MMR as me, but in reality, he was even better than that.
-It doesn't seem like a troll?
-What's the speed of the water connection?
-Was there a smurf like that?
-Aren't you an acrobatic athlete?
-No, it looks like a Hoka game.
-Hokage, okay lol
His broadcast viewership currently exceeds 6,000, and many of those viewers have made similar judgments.
“Still, Yami is Yami, now the chakra is over.”
There was no time to look at the chat window. The moment I allowed a moment of gap, the distance between us would have collapsed.
But even so, Genome didn't empty the audio like a pro.
-This is the eldest one lol
-Kiting's victory!
-Yami, you lost, right? Hahaha
-This Yami set meal is a bit tough.
-I think I need to do some tenderizing work lol
The viewers had no doubts about Genome's victory. True to his word, Yami had reached his limit.
The reason was that the letters on the uniform only flashed and did not activate even though the seal was made. Yami hesitated and jumped into the bushes.
“Okay, let’s cut.”
Genome went on the offensive. It was clear that his chakra was depleted.
-5252, I've been waiting for you!
-You really lasted a long time lol
-There is no shame in losing to a strong person.
-If it weren't for the genome, I think it would be worth a try lol
-To that extent, he must have practiced like crazy. It's pitiful.
-Huh? That guy's on his second round?
-What is it?
A chat window that rises like a flood.
But Genome was using all his nerves to chase after Yami.
'This way.'
Among them, what he focuses on is hearing.
When a champion hides in a bush, their form disappears. When the stealth effect is applied, the sound also disappears.
But the sound of the bush itself shaking does not go away.
'now!'
The card flew away with a quick wrist snap. Yami's form was revealed in an instant with a thud.
“Oh, even the metallic ones?”
Perhaps he used the chakra he had recovered while running away. Yami threw herself towards another bush again.
Genome was convinced.
“Guys, we’re cutting now.”
It must have been a last resort since it was a contract made a little while ago. Now all that's left is to follow them and eat them.
So he boldly chased after it.
'This way… … um?'
Genome, who had been concentrating, was momentarily confused. The sound of the bushes suddenly multiplied as if it was coming from several places.
Even though Yami is modeled after a ninja, doesn't she have abilities like clone jutsu?
Then the genome's head flashed.
"ah."
With a short sigh, he threw the card down. A silver wolf leaped out of the bushes and fell down after being hit by the card.
“Creep… …!”
Creep, a neutral monster that exists in the jungle.
-????
-What is it?
-Is it a bug?
-What?
The viewers couldn't hide their doubts. Why did those who were supposed to be protecting their territory show up here?
“You’ve been hit, ma’am.”
But the genome took notice.
This was all Yami's scheme.
The sight of Yami suddenly revealing her body beyond the other creeps rushing towards him proved the fact.
'Touch the creep to draw aggro and recover chakra.'
Genome quickly drew his card, but didn't have time to throw it. Flashes of light and scorching heat filled his vision along with Yami's seal.
* * *
[Perfect Play GENOME]
The kill mark that appeared along with Lee Kyung-bok's landing.
And here's another message:
[Quest Success!]
['Purple Bus Passenger' and 27 others donated '370,000' won!]
It was a success message for the group quest.
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋ I used creepㅋㅋㅋ
-You applied the Diamond Ranker without any items?
-So who's the diva now?
-Q-ha! Q-ha! Q-ha! Q-ha! Q-ha!
-Is that the loner Yami? I feel so proud.
-Put it on! Put it on! Put it on! Put it on! Put it on!
-Purple! I want to be a mom! Purple! I want to be a mom!
-Why is my mom like this? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-???: I have no personal feelings.
-Genome has made it big, lol. He even went up against Purple.
-Domo Mina-san, perfect yamidesu!
The chat room was filled with excitement. Lee Kyung-bok found some free time after lightly removing the remaining creeps.
“Thank you for the compliment. I’ll focus again since the game isn’t over yet.”
The atmosphere in the chat room changed completely at his words.
-Keuheu, Jin-guk.
-Ah haha I'm not done driving the bus yet
-Everyone hold on tight! We're going to the finish line!
-This stop is victory, victory.
-Purple, who is serious about every game? I like it.
That was when Lee Kyung-bok was trying to check the timing of the ganking again.
[>I'm sorry. Are you perhaps preparing to become a professional?]
The in-game chat window appears before your eyes.
One of the team members had unblocked him.
[>I thought you were a troll and blocked you. I'm really sorry.]
[>I was too hasty. I sincerely apologize.]
Soon after, other team members also joined the chat with apologies.
There is one reason why their attitude changed.
[>If you are in the jungler position, can you also give orders?]
[>Please let me know whenever you want to gank]
It was because they also wanted to win. And they realized that the key to that victory was Lee Kyung-bok.
