Chapter 13: Easy, right?

Friday after school.

I arrived in front of the building sent by the streamer who unintentionally sniped me, riding in my dad’s car.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve been here.’

This place was familiar in many ways, perhaps because they also manage the personal YouTubes of players who play in LOCK.

“Can you go up alone?”

“Yes.”

Anyway, it doesn’t take long to get home by car, so my dad went back home.

I vaguely searched my remaining memories and knocked on the broadcast room the streamer had mentioned, and the door opened immediately.

“Huh?”

However, the person who opened the door was not MultiNambi, but Durang, a streamer I had met once or twice in ranked games during my early broadcasting days.

It seems that the two were close.

“Um, True-nim?”

“Yes. That’s me.”

“Wow……”

I’m getting used to these gazes.

At this point, there was no fun in seeing people react to me.

He stared at me blankly for a moment, and then, as if he had come to his senses, he guided me to the table prepared in the broadcast room.

“Please sit down for now. Myeongwon, no, MultiNambi is setting up right now, so it will take some time. There are snacks over there, so eat a lot.”

“Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. I’m more grateful that I was able to get a taste of Master thanks to you.”

He smiled like a good person and called MultiNambi, who was struggling in the back with the final stages of broadcast setup.

“Hey, the guest is here!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he roughly put down what he was doing, turned his head, and as soon as he made eye contact with me, he rushed to the front of the table.

“Nice to meet you! I’m streamer MultiNambi!”

For some reason, the person who proposed the joint broadcast was more nervous than me, the invited guest.

“First of all, just in case there might be any problems, I’m streaming the process of formatting the computer entirely live, and I brought several keyboards and mice even though you said it was okay.”

Looking at the various keyboards and mice on one side of the shelf, it seems that he prepared hard.

“What about the VR device?”

“Of course. There’s one of the latest models that players use in our broadcast room. You can use that when you play games with Challengers after the explanation broadcast.”

In front of one wall, which was densely packed with soundproofing materials, there was a large egg-shaped chair that players use, as he said, along with a VR device that looked expensive at first glance.

“I wanted to try using what the players used. It’s perfect timing.”

A craftsman doesn’t blame his tools, but there’s nothing wrong with using good ones if you have them.

As soon as the waiting room was created with the broadcast title, the number of viewers increased.

—Hi.

—G.G. if you’ve been waiting for this.

—You can’t miss a master’s guest seat on Friday.

—How can a master’s tool be shackles lol.

—Ahem, ‘keyboard’.

—lolololol.

—Did True’s red pill come out?

—It would be good sense if she didn’t wear a mask, but I wonder.

Of course, the broadcast didn’t start right away.

—What’s that?

—It’s the computer formatting screen.

—The Great True who once again clearly explains the hack suspicion.

—MultiNambi is also working hard.

—If he doesn’t, he’ll have to make an apology broadcast and go into self-reflection for 6 months.

—lol.

MultiNambi, who occasionally showed his face on the cam, had the microphone on, so he asked the viewers to promote today’s broadcast while setting up the broadcast.

Thanks to that, the number of viewers gradually increased.

—But the really scary thing is that if it’s completely confirmed that she’s not a hack, it becomes a fact that a middle school girl reached Grandmaster with a keyboard and mouse.

—Sheeeeesh.

—The fact that the word combination is f*ckingly awkward is the laugh bell.

— True played solo queue secretly even before coming here.

—Did she win?

—Yes, so she’ll probably be Challenger if she wins one or two more solo queues while streaming.

—Whoa.

—Is a middle schooler going to Challenger?

—It’s the world’s first.

—I canceled all my appointments with my friends today and I’m watching this.

—Yeah.

—Life is great.

After a little more time, other people’s voices suddenly mixed with the quiet sound of the ventilation fan being transmitted.

—Wow.

—She’s here.

—True noona.

—Can I look forward to it?

—Get ready.

So, when the computer’s formatting was complete, the real-time cam screen was temporarily turned off and then turned on again.

“Well, I’m MultiNambi. Durang is here too.”

—I Knew it, I Knew it, I Knew.

—You b*stards, why aren’t you bringing True-nim noona right now?

—lol.

—Bad sense.

“Hey. I got it. I got it.”

Durang coughed in vain and started to say the lines the viewers wanted.

“The person we’re going to invite today, you all know, right? The first middle school girl to reach Grandmaster, and True, Hong Eunseol, who came here today to achieve Challenger!”

“I’m Hong Eunseol, a third-year middle school student, aiming to be a LOC pro, currently Grandmaster, nickname True.”

As I entered the range of the cam screen, I recited the prepared greeting.

Of course, as my viewers usually do, my greeting wasn’t important.

—Wow.

—Wow.

—Damn.

—Crazy.

—Heueung noona.

—She’s prettier than I thought.

—You’re my ideal type~.

—[This comment has been blocked]

—You crazy guys, she’s a middle schooler.

—I can’t stand it anymore.

—[This comment has been blocked]

I heard that there are only three chat window management managers, but the speed of the chat going up was crazy, to the point where even they couldn’t keep up with the speed.

“Well, today’s broadcast will be in two parts.”

Fortunately, everyone was a broadcast veteran, so it wasn’t that difficult to take care of the atmosphere and put the necessary information to the viewers.

“Part 1 will be True-nim playing solo queue with the keyboard to explain the hack.”

“The computer has been completely formatted and only Lock has been installed, and the keyboard and mouse are the ones I brought from home at Nambi’s request, so there is no room for doubt.”

“And if she wins two games in a row today, she’s scheduled to be promoted to Challenger.”

—Wow.

—I’m getting a direct view of a middle school girl reaching Challenger.

—And with a keyboard lol.

—Maybe the keyboard is an amazing input device?

— The tiers of the guys who were deceived by True’s drug sales and played games with the keyboard have been messed up for a long time.

—lolol, it’s just funny to see what’s occasionally posted on Lock Gall.

—??? : You are not True.

—lol.

I clicked the LOC icon and opened the login screen.

“Then I’ll start right away. I’ll be playing until I’m promoted to Challenger, so it’s better to get straight to the point, right?”

—This is it.

—The solo queue demon hasn’t gone anywhere.

—lololol.

—The legend of average streaming time of 7.5 hours per day.

—Is this…a middle schooler?

—Scary.

—She’s just unbelievably focused.

While the queue was being caught, I went into the settings and adjusted the sensitivity appropriately.

“Do you need to adjust it more precisely? Or are you a little nervous?”

“Well, I’m not greatly affected by these things.”

I’ve seen players who can’t play the game without really precise sensitivity adjustments, but I’m not that extreme.

In the first place, it’s been a long time since I naturally turned off those kinds of details in my head in order to survive anywhere, as the surrounding environment changed rapidly from the time I first started my player career.

And about 15,000 viewers.

Compared to the many fans who were at the LOC World Cup finals, it didn’t even tickle.

Anyway, as it was a time when people were playing games, the first game was caught very quickly.

“Actually, I chose which champion to play for the first game while coming here.”

So, before the viewers said to do this or that, I immediately picked the first pick.

She’s a mage champion, but she’s actually an illusionist who’s close to an assassin.

“This champion really has a lot to show and explain with control.”

It was even more so in that it was a type of champion that was not very popular with those who play with VR.

There is a binding CC skill, but the problem is that it becomes too easy to avoid if the opponent receives first-person correction.

Even originally, there was a waiting time before the opponent was bound, so if they moved beyond a certain distance, the cast itself was canceled before they were bound.

So you have to think about the judgment and pay more attention to control.

Like now.

“Well, if you press the S key here, the champion stops, you know?”

—Oh.

—Why didn’t I know this function?

—lololol.

—Where do you have time to press s when you’re fighting with sword champions in first person and converting the viewpoint?

—Actually, if you don’t move your feet, it’s the same.

—Can you do it?

—It’s the national rule to get tangled up in steps while trying to dodge and get hit by everything.

“Now, when you’re laning, you see that the opponent wants to hit the minions and me with the skill at the same time, so while tightrope walking between them, right outside the range, like this.”

—Tap.

The opposing champion is one of the champions I’ve seen and played a lot in the pro scene.

The range was still in my head without having to measure it with a ruler.

And right after that, I went straight in and exchanged auto-attacks, threw Q, which deals confirmed damage, and watched the opponent trying to move until the end and threw the binding to hit.

My binding range is slightly longer than the opponent’s main skill, so I lightly dodge the opponent’s attack and go straight again to close the distance.

So I poured skills on the opponent who stopped in the middle of the lane, and I returned to my camp where the minion line was formed.

“If the opponent doesn’t go home, it’s a kill angle.”

—?????

—Professor, the progress is too fast.

—You said I could learn how to use the keyboard.

—I understand up to pressing S.

—She just naturally hits that binding.

—That’s famous for having a f*cking bad judgment lol.

—And she dodges all of the opponent’s skills.

—She’s really f*cking like a helper.

—What’s with the left-right movement?

—I’ve never seen that kind of movement before.

—It’s cruder than first-person evasion, but she dodges everything.

—Her mechanics are insane.

“He didn’t go home, right? Then it’s a kill.”

Even if he noticed, it was too late.

The opponent was shamelessly trying to get minion gold with that HP bar, so he needed to be punished.

This time, I didn’t auto-attack and immediately approached the opponent with a skill, and then I put the binding first.

And here, a very brief Flash mind game.

—Flash!

At the right timing, we both cast the Flash summoner spell at the same time.

The binding was not released and properly bound the opponent.

Now, using the level difference gained thanks to the experience advantage from the previous trade.

“It’s easy, right?”

The laning phase is over with this.
