Chapter 29: Who Threatens Me with a Sword to Act Like a Villain? (Part 3)

▶ This Hong Chunseok b*stard messed around and met his match 

[Video]
Messing with people in Silver with an alt account and getting his head cracked twice in a row by a ‘real’ player 

This b*stard, I thought he’d get what was coming to him someday lol

Did he meet a sniper?
└ No, Chunseok first cursed at a pro without recognizing them in the waiting room. But the match was dodged and they got matched again, but the pro he cursed at was on the enemy team lol. And he got taught a lesson like in the video.
└  What an idiot 

Hong Chunseok’s form has dropped a lot lately, but he’s not at a level where he’d get his head cracked by a Silver, right? At the very least, he should have Diamond lower rank skills.
└ He was just f*cking unlucky lol 
└ Who did he meet? Is it known whose alt account it is?
└ No, it’s Shihyun.
└ Who’s that, you nerd?

It’s Shihyun.
└ Who?
└ The person who’s hot these days. Uses a two-handed sword as their main.
└ So what’s their tier?
└ Probably doing placements now?
└ Idiot

Getting caught by Shihyun, of course his head would get cracked 
└ Who is that, you nerds?
└ You know the drill?
└ Check Euning’s VOD. It’s shown well there.
└ Who the f*ck is Euning again?

▶ Hey, but what did this Shihyun do to their rating?

[Video]
[Video]
If you watch, Hong Chunseok got his head cracked in Silver and immediately switched to his main account, but he met them again as an enemy.
Considering the time difference, it’s almost like he switched immediately, but how the hell does a Silver scrub’s rating become Platinum/Diamond?

??

Crazy 

What did they do in the game to make their rating skyrocket to Diamond 
└ I watched that live, they carried the whole game alone.
└ What did they do?
└ Filled the occupation points alone in Siege Battle.
└ Were the teammates in that match just bugs without hands and feet?

Arfellium has a complex calculation method, so if you carry, you get a high rating, so it’s not impossible, but…
└ Honestly, it’s a bit unbelievable~~
└ Does winning 2 placement matches give you Diamond? I’m going to go play ranked right now lol
└ Yeah, that doesn’t apply to you~~

▶ But if Shihyun keeps winning at this pace, where will they be placed?

Isn’t the highest placement tier Diamond right now? Is there anything higher?

There is Master placement. But that’s for pro super accounts…
└ If it’s a super account, aren’t they just supposed to get Master originally?
└ No, they all go through placement matches. That’s why a pro player played casually during placements and got placed in Platinum.

Except for super account boosts, Diamond is currently the highest.
└ Seriously, I’m so curious about the placement results.

It’s a strange thing for someone I don’t know to know me well.

In a society where people don’t even remember those they’ve met a few times, someone remembering me means I’ve made a pretty deep impression on them.

‘It’s strange.’

And I just experienced that strange thing.

For some reason, one of the users I met as an enemy in the last match seemed to know me.

‘Are they a viewer who saw me on Kim Ji-eun’s stream?’

But they seemed a little hostile for that.

‘Well, it’s possible.’

There are many people in the world.

There could be people who dislike me, Sung Shihyun.

I’ve already experienced a lot of malice from strangers I have no relationship with in ‘that world’.

‘Like that crazy guy from earlier.’

So I didn’t pay much attention to it.

Did I deliberately kill the user who was hostile to me more?

It’s just a coincidence. It’s definitely not revenge.

Yeah.

Anyway, the important thing is that I finished the third game with a victory.

Since I have a 3-win streak, I must be a little closer to Platinum.

A satisfied smile naturally appeared on my lips.

“Good. Shall we continue?”

I started a new game.

In this waiting room, all the steles were made of crystal.

[But what if Shihyun surprisingly messes up their placements?]

One of the quickly passing chats caught Kim Ji-eun’s eye.

Kim Ji-eun burst into a chuckle and shook her head as if it were absurd.

“For Shihyun to mess up their placements, there would have to be pro alt accounts on the opposing team.”

[True lol]
[Ah  They are the strongest beautiful girl sword master]
[How can you mess up placements with that kind of skill?]
[It would be more surprising if they messed up, seriously

“Right. There’s no way Shihyun will mess up their placements, right?”

Kim Ji-eun nodded with a deliberately arrogant expression.

“Unless they do too well….”

And then her face stiffened for a moment.

‘Right?’

What if Shihyun is placed in too high a tier and I can’t duo with them?

The viewers burst into laughter at the sight of Kim Ji-eun’s inner thoughts showing on her face.

[Ah  If they do too well, it’s f*cked]
[It would be hilarious if they got Master placement]
[Waiting for a bus to take you to Diamond, but the bus was actually a rocket]
[ Passing by ]

“Ah, no. Surely……. They’ll be placed in Diamond, right? Surely not Master? No, more than that, Master is a tier you can’t reach through placement matches. There’s no way.”

[Don’t you know you can go to Master?]
[Pros do break through to Master when they get their alt accounts placed]
[Isn’t that possible because it’s a super account for pros?]
[Ah ㅋㅋ Shihyun’s skills are at the super account level]
[True lol]

“See. It’s impossible without a super account. No matter how good Shihyun is, they’ll be placed in Diamond at most.”

She said that, but Kim Ji-eun was honestly anxious.

Are Shihyun’s skills ordinary?

Her skills were close to incomprehensible.

Therefore, it wouldn’t be strange at all if an unbelievable event occurred.

Kim Ji-eun muttered in an unconfident voice.

“……Probably.”

[Confidence: 0]
[Believe in yourself a little more lol ]
[Even if Shihyun goes to Master, would they abandon the streamer lol ]
[Teacher, you don’t trust your own words….]

“Hey, I don’t know! Shihyun’s placement won’t be decided until the end of this week anyway.”

[? 10 matches are enough in one day?]
[True lol]

“That’s only possible for people who don’t work and play games all day. It’s absolutely impossible otherwise.”

[Revealed to be unemployed]
[Ah Create a job for me]
[Solve youth unemployment]

“Hey, why are you looking for that from me? Hmph, anyway, I’m stopping the small talk and starting the queue now.”

Kim Ji-eun said that and manipulated the interface to start a multi-player ranked game.

Her eyes sparkled brightly.

“I need to get to the promotion series before Shihyun finishes their placements so I can save some face. It’s not good to be carried too much.”

[You’ve already been carried too much ]
[Ah ㅋㅋㅋ The back of the super beautiful girl sword master is so warm ]
[Wow being carried by a beautiful girl ]
[Industry reward]
[I also want to be “carried”]

“Ugh, but I’ll help Shihyun later too.”

[How can a Platinum scrub help the super beautiful girl sword master]
[Help x Straw o]
[Well, is Shihyun going to stream later? There’s nothing else the streamer can help with]
[Really?]

“Ahem. I’ll tell you about that later. More than that, the game started!”

Kim Ji-eun cleared her throat to attract the viewers’ attention before the chat flowed in a strange direction.

She had no choice.

‘Because I don’t even know if Shihyun will stream or not yet.’

Until Shihyun brought it up first, Kim Ji-eun had no intention of being nosy or making assumptions.

She might make Shihyun uncomfortable for no reason.

‘Thanks to Shihyun, the stream has grown a lot and I’ve gained a lot of recognition. The revenue has also increased. A person should know gratitude.’

Of course, it was all a bubble created thanks to Shihyun.

But if you ask if Kim Ji-eun didn’t benefit from it, there were definitely parts where she benefited.

Therefore, Kim Ji-eun was planning to help Shihyun as much as possible if she decided to stream.

……Of course, after getting promoted first.

“Let’s go to the promotion series!!!!!”

Therefore, Kim Ji-eun shouted “Fighting!” and started the game.

I need to get to the promotion series quickly!

‘That way I can go to Diamond with Shihyun!’

Of course.

Kim Ji-eun, she didn’t know.

The fact that Shihyun’s rating had already broken through the atmosphere and was flying into space.
