Chapter 8: Suspiciously Skilled (Part 2)

“Is that even possible?”

The scene of the massacre unfolding before her eyes.

Ji-eun couldn’t take her eyes off that sight.

She muttered in a bewildered voice, as if she was in disbelief.

“……She was definitely a sub-account.”

[True]

[What else could she be other than a sub-account~]

[What tier is a player with that level of skill?]

[Who knows?]

[Probably around Master tier?]

[The best beauty in the region, Master tier ]

“Master tier?

No way…….”

Ji-eun tilted her head.

It was inevitable.

Because the acquaintance who taught her Alpe was a Master tier player.

‘She seems even better than him……?’

That was the thought that came out.

But, of course, the viewers wouldn’t miss such an action from Ji-eun.

They started teasing Ji-eun as if they had been waiting for this moment.

[Euning : That’s Master……?]

[Ah…It doesn’t look like Master to my eyes]

[True, our streamer’s confidence alone is ranker-level ]

“Hey, when did I say that!”

[You’re making excuses again……]

[When controversy arises, who knows?]

[True ]

Ji-eun quickly took her eyes off the chat window.

She knew from experience that it was better not to pay attention to the chat window in situations like this.

‘Anyway, they bite at any opportunity.’

Muttering that to herself, Ji-eun turned her head again and looked at the black-haired woman who was still

slaughtering.

She evaded all of the opponent’s attacks by slightly twisting her body, and her sword passed through the enemy’s

defense as if it were flowing water.

Each of her sword strikes was a fatal blow, and the end of her sword path was filled with a strong killing intent.

A sword truly meant to kill people.

Realizing that fact with her gut feeling, Ji-eun’s body trembled.

‘What kind of person is she?’

Did she just pop out of a medieval battlefield?

How can a modern person be so skilled in ‘swordsmanship’?

Ji-eun recalled the videos of Western swordsmanship practitioners that sometimes appeared as recommended videos

on Mutube.

Even compared to the swordsmanship of those swordsmen who had practiced Western swordsmanship for years,

and who had become coaches teaching martial arts to professional gamers now that Arfellium had become a popular

game, her swordsmanship was not lacking at all.

‘No, she might even overwhelm them…….’

Seeing her cut off the head of an enemy who was frightened by her prowess and tried to run away, Ji-eun’s body

trembled.

[So f*cking cool lol]

[Execution ceremony]

[Your Excellency, why did you only bring your head……]

[A beautiful girl beheading an enemy general]

“She’s really good. Completely my type.”

Ji-eun muttered, her eyes sparkling.

Then the viewers immediately started teasing Ji-eun.

[Yeah, but inside, there is an old man]

[Virtual meat On]

[Or maybe……?]

[Old man taste ]

“Ah, what are you talking about!

I said that being good at games is my type!”

[But she won’t duo with the streamer, right?]

[True  Who would duo with a Platinum!!!!!]

[But it would be fun if they duoed]

[Beautiful girl streamers x2 ]

[Stop brewing broth]

“Hey, what duo Duo.”

Ji-eun waved her hand and smiled awkwardly.

That’s right.

No matter what, they were strangers who had just met in the game.

In that situation, a duo request…….

‘Huh?’

What’s wrong?

Ji-eun’s body stiffened with a momentary brain freeze.

That’s right!

It was very common to duo with people you just met in the game!

‘W-Why did I think like this?’

Realizing that she had thought very stupidly, Ji-eun suddenly felt embarrassed.

Yeah.

It’s all because that woman is too pretty.

Her heavenly appearance, which doesn’t seem human, made her thoughts twisted.

Ji-eun comforted herself like that and shook her head.

“Yeah, I don’t know.

If she doesn’t accept the duo request, then so be it.”

[Ah Who would duo with a Platinum]

[True, does she think she’s going to leech and get a free ride to promotion?]

[But what will you do if she doesn’t accept?]

“Ah, if she doesn’t accept, then there’s nothing I can do.

I can’t cling to her pathetically, can I?”

[You should cling a little]

[Ah Our streamer will be a Platinum goddess forever]

[If she fails to promote after this, she’ll cry and say why she didn’t cling to her, 100%]

“You b*stards, do you want to be banned?”

Ji-eun burst out and approached the black-haired woman who was storing her weapon.

“H-Hey.”

And then she said courageously.

“Do you want to duo after this game?”

Praying that the other person wouldn’t refuse.

At the sudden duo request, Sung Shihyun was silent for a moment.

‘Duo, huh.’

Duo.

It means playing games together in a team game.

By finding a partner who suits you and playing games together, you can exert more teamwork than when you’re solo,

and you can also relatively reduce the probability of troll users appearing.

……That’s what her knowledge before falling into ‘that world’ said.

“You mean playing games together?”

But, just in case the meaning of the term had changed.

Sung Shihyun asked the other person if what she understood was correct.

“Y-Yes!

That’s right.”

“Hmm…….”

Suddenly receiving a request to play games together.

Usually, this happened when her play was very impressive to the other person.

And her play just now seemed to be quite good, even objectively.

‘Since I took down seven people alone in a 7:7 game.’

In fact, she had played the role of 7 people alone, so it seemed that anyone would want to make a duo request to her.

‘What should I do.’

Sung Shihyun thought for a moment, then shrugged.

‘Well, it’s just a game anyway.’

That’s right.

This world is a game!

There’s nothing to lose by teaming up with an ally she doesn’t know if she can trust or not!

‘If it was ‘that world’, it would be a choice I would never make…….’

It’s just a game anyway.

She wouldn’t lose her life, so she thought it would be okay.

“Okay.”

“……!! R-Really?

Then I’ll send you a friend request after the game ends.

Tell me your nickname!”

“Ah, yes.”

She was a very proactive woman.

She was a little concerned that she kept glancing at the top left corner of her eyes…….

Well, it’ll be fine, right?

“B-By the way, if you don’t mind…….”

She asked Sung Shihyun carefully.

“What tier is your main account……?”

Sung Shihyun tilted her head, not understanding the meaning of the words for a moment.

“?”

“???”

When Sung Shihyun was puzzled, she also put a question mark on her face.

To prevent the situation from becoming more complicated, Sung Shihyun asked back first.

“Main account?”

“Yes, yes Because I was suggesting a ranked duo.”

Hmm, ranked duo.

‘That’s troublesome.’

She knew that ranked games were only possible if you were level 30 or higher.

And her level was only 1.

There was no way she could play ranked games.

Even so, the fact that the other person suggested a ranked duo to her seemed to be because she mistook this account

for a sub-account.

First, she had to correct the misunderstanding.

Sung Shihyun explained in a cautious voice.

“I-I’m sorry, but this is my only account.”

“??”

At her answer, she frowned for some reason.

And then she lightly waved her hand and smiled awkwardly.

“Hey, don’t lie.”

“It’s true.”

“…….”

Whether her answer was unexpected, she made a strange expression.

Sung Shihyun stared at that face, then examined the interface.

It was almost time for the enemies to respawn.

“It’s almost time for the enemies to respawn.”

Are you going to keep staring while the enemies are respawning?

When Sung Shihyun said that with that intention, she flinched.

And then she started to say something, stuttering.

“Ah, um, then…….

Let’s talk after the game.”

“Yes.”

Just then, the enemies who had respawned in the distance began to run across the hallway to the square.

Sung Shihyun slowly held the two-handed sword she had placed on her shoulder with both hands.

The heavy weight was very reassuring.

Swords should be heavy and huge.

Only then can they protect her on the battlefield.

Sung Shihyun lightly kissed the blade.

And then she immediately threw her gaze at the enemies.

It’s time to start the massacre.

“Main account?

Level 1?

With that skill?”

Ji-eun laughed with an expression as if it was ridiculous.

Does she think that makes sense?

How could that woman, who accurately stabbed the blade into the gaps in the tank’s armor with a two-handed sword,

be a level 1 newbie who had just started the game!

[True, if that’s a lie, it’s on the level of art]

[It’s a ridiculous statement]

[She must be an attention seeker]

[The best attention-seeking swordmaster beauty in the region ]

As if representing Ji-eun’s thoughts, the chat window was also busy mocking and ridiculing the woman.

But, Ji-eun did not judge the situation based only on fragmentary information.

‘Certainly, the play itself was newbie-like.’

She didn’t turn on the non-contact status in the square at first, and she ran straight down the hallway as soon as the

game started without even planning a strategy.

It was a newbie action that anyone could acknowledge.

‘Of course, it could all be an act…….’

She might not have turned off the non-contact status in the square just to show off her well-made customization.

She might have run down the hallway as soon as the game started just because she was confident in her skills and

wanted to farm alone.

But.

One thing could never be an act.

‘Two-handed sword.

Using that is ridiculous.’

The two-handed sword was the most difficult and inefficient weapon to use in Alpe.

Therefore, the selection rate was incredibly low.

Choosing such a weapon in a farming situation?

This game is not a PC game where you tap on a keyboard.

The moment you put down your main weapon, your skills plummet vertically.

So, showing that kind of skill with a two-handed sword…….

‘It’s certain.

That person’s main weapon is a two-handed sword.’

It meant that that weapon was her main weapon.

And.

As far as Ji-eun knew, there was no high-tier player who used a two-handed sword as their main weapon.

“…….”

Ji-eun swallowed dryly, looking at the back of the black-haired woman who was once again relentlessly cutting down

the respawned enemies.

“Wow, I really don’t know what kind of person she is.”

Was she a sniper with a newbie concept, or was she really a genius newbie gamer?

She didn’t know.

But, what did that matter?

‘The important thing is, this is video material!’

Not only did she become teammates with a super-beauty she met by chance, but that super-beauty was hard-carrying

the game with a greatsword?

But it turns out that she claims to be a newbie?

It was perfect video material no matter who looked at it.

And Ji-eun was not a fool who would miss such video material.

‘It’s a perfect, super Mutube video!’

As soon as that thought came to her, Ji-eun’s eyes sparkled again.

First, what was certain.

Was that she had to duo, no matter what.
