- Al-hi!
- Broadcast is on!
- h2
- Al-hi!
Alpaca looked at the rapidly rising chat window.
Although he could not calculate the exact numbers, it seemed to rise particularly fast compared to other days.
Originally, when doing a collaborative broadcast, it drew more attention than usual and many people entered.
And although there was also the promotional video uploaded the day before and the promotion by Seo-jun's viewers led by Joseon's Assassin.
Above all, the fact that twenty thousand people who watched Alpaca's broadcast saw Seo-jun's play live played a major role.
This was because those many people felt curious about Seo-jun, and talk of the collaborative broadcast was constantly re-spread in Alpaca's cafe.
[Viewers: 4,327]
Not even a few seconds after turning it on, it hit 4,000.
And the numbers rose rapidly, showing no signs of stopping.
Alpaca watched with a pleased smile and jumped into virtual reality at the right timing.
“T-hi!”
As the dark broadcast screen brightened, Alpaca entered the lobby.
- Al-hi!
- hi
- I came to see Mu-myeong-jwa
- T-hi
- -_-
[Viewers: 10,000]
The number of viewers had already surpassed 10,000 and was heading toward 20,000.
“Nice to meet you. Everyone, you know what day it is today, right?”
- Whatever, you get out
- Would we have come without knowing that?
- Real, let's get Alpaca's face out of here quickly
“Yes, yes. No, but even though it's my broadcast, it seems like there is no one who came to see me. Ha.”
Although Alpaca showed a disappointed look, the viewers showed a consistent reaction.
- Yep
- Yes, that's right.
- You're f*cking bad at it.
- No? I came to see Alpaca, though?
“Oh? Winter Yellowtail-nim, you came to see me?”
Having broadcasted for a long time, Alpaca possessed the ability to quickly find a chat typed by a specific user among countless chats.
It was an essential ability to smoothly exchange conversations with viewers through the rapidly rising chat window.
And
‘The Best Defense is Winter Yellowtail’ typed a chat again.
- I have to watch you do Kyeon-wang lol
“Kyeon-wang is not today, you bastard. You're banned.”
- lololol
- Super toxic lolololol
- ??? Why aren't you doing it today?
“Why aren't we doing it today? You asked well. Because today we have to learn musou. From whom? Now! Let me introduce the professor who will teach me today!”
Alpaca naturally proceeded with the broadcast while talking to the viewers, and shouted while sending a signal to Seo-jun, who was watching from outside.
“It is streamer Jin Seo-jun-nim!”
- Clap clap clap clap
- Clap clap
- Woooow
- ....
- Why isn't he coming?
Alpaca waited while showing the spawn location of the lobby.
An awkward silence ensued, and when that time exceeded the normal loading time, Alpaca blurted out whatever because he could not leave the broadcast sound empty.
“Huh? Why isn't he coming? Seo-jun-nim, if you are watching the broadcast, please come in quickly. I'm embarrassed right now. Hey! Manager, what are you doing!”
- Imaginary collab? lolol
- Is it possible that the collaboration is not today?
“It's not an imaginary collab. We are even going to have an offline after-party later.”
It was then.
An alarm popped up on Alpaca's friends list.
A whisper had arrived.
“Huh? A message arrived. Gasp. Did some problem occur?”
Alpaca felt worried about what kind of setback had occurred and quickly opened the whisper.
And the content was something he had not expected at all.
[Um, I don't know how to go to Alpaca-nim's lobby, so could you please send me an invite? Haha...]
This time, Alpaca showed a genuinely embarrassed expression.
Was he serious?
Was it a broadcast concept?
He did damage control first.
“Uh... Well, please understand, everyone, since Seo-jun-nim is someone who hasn't even been in a capsule for a week.”
- lolololololol
- Sh*t lololololol
- It's annoying that he typed 'haha' lolol
- This kind of guy is a professor? lolololol
<><><>
*Bwaaaa! Bwa!*
Daebak-i, the alpaca residing in the lobby, looked at the sky and cried, announcing the appearance of a new person.
“Hello. Sorry I'm late. I am streamer Jin Seo-jun.”
The center of the lobby shone brightly, and as the character was created, Seo-jun appeared.
Seo-jun greeted with an embarrassed expression because things had gotten slightly tangled up from the start.
“Hahaha! That can happen. Strictly speaking, you are still a beginner.”
Seo-jun recalled the situation inside the capsule from a moment ago, which was the most flustering situation he had experienced recently.
And he thought it was a relief as he saw the reactions in the chat window, which did not particularly care.
- But not being able to come to the lobby is a bit lol
- <<<<<< The guy trying to learn from that beginner
- It's Alpaca's fault for not preparing in advance lolol
The chat window, with nearly twenty thousand people, had a different level of firepower itself.
It rose so fast it was slightly dizzying.
And although he had felt it before, this room felt a bit spicy in its content.
It seemed like teasing the streamer had become a piece of content of its own.
The chat window of each room was divided according to the streamer's tendency.
Some streamers tied up and beat their viewers and the viewers actually liked that instead, while some streamers pursued a completely clean broadcast.
Seo-jun liked this free atmosphere among them.
‘I won't get criticized for my skills... probably...’
It would be so.
Alpaca began to explain from the reason why they started the collaborative broadcast.
“Now! As everyone knows, thanks to Seo-jun-nim catching Drake, I ended up doing Kyeon-wang.”
['SomeIdiot' made a generous donation of 1,000 won!]
[???: If they succeed in that, I will serve that person as my master, receive their teachings, and do a Kyeon-wang until I clear Drake with musou!]
Just in time, the donation rang out, and Seo-jun burst into laughter as the scene from the previous day came to mind.
“I'm really banning you. No, and Seo-jun-nim. You shouldn't be laughing. Even if I'm the one who made a mistake by saying that, if you hadn't caught Drake, I wouldn't have had to do Kyeon-wang in the first place, right!”
“That's right. I also feel a shred of responsibility toward Alpaca-nim.”
“Right?”
“It was my fault for just catching him, not realizing that there would be someone making a grand promise on the second day of the game that catching Drake with musou was impossible.”
- lolololol
- Indirect dissing ON!
- Translation: Sorry. But it's your fault.
- Translation: So what?
- Translation: Alpaca was stupid
How far are they going, these people. They were putting Alpaca down while making excuses for him.
Seo-jun and Alpaca looked at each other and laughed.
And Alpaca could not erase the thought that Seo-jun was bold.
He did not show any signs of tension at all in front of many viewers.
Rather, he had dealt a blow while showing an appearance of enjoying it.
“Yes. I was wrong. So please save me. Professor.”
“I will do my best, Alpaca-nim.”
Seo-jun, Alpaca, and the viewers present here also knew that he could not be saved.
“Now, now! Anyway, There are a total of two things to do today. One is for you to enter my game and show me how Seo-jun-nim catches Drake...”
- ???
- Don't try to get a free ride
- Playing tricks lolol
Question marks (?) typed in an instant.
Seo-jun witnessed Alpaca quickly changing the subject while making a regretful expression.
“Yes, well. It's a joke. I plan to enter the Professor's game, watch his play, and receive teachings.”
In Assassin's Dawn, there was a function called 'Assassinate Together'.
This was a multiplayer function that invited other users to one's own game, where the invited user could help with the assassination mission or interfere with the host.
“Ah! By the way, I am doing a bare-handed assassination, and it seemed like Seo-jun-nim was also playing the game bare-handed. Is there a special reason? And what did you take for your basic skills?”
“Hmm... I don't really have a skill or a reason, though?”
“You mean you haven't been using skills until now? Like the basic passive skills that increase attack and movement speed, or damage increase.”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because they aren't particularly necessary?”
In fact, until the moment he played, he had not known.
But if he revealed that fact, he would look pathetic.
Seo-jun chose to sugarcoat it.
- Kya!
- We're f*cked!!! Is it possible to copy that?
- This is true bare-handed
- If Alpaca wants to show off about doing bare-handed assassinations, he needs to do at least this much lolol
- Is it for real that he caught him without skills?
- Yep
- Alpaca, reset your skill points and play right now!
Alpaca felt that somehow all situations had been turning disadvantageous for him ever since Seo-jun appeared.
Still, seeing the viewer count that had hit twenty-five thousand before he knew it, his mind eased.
“And the skill window wasn't even in the game interface at all, though?”
This was the reason why Seo-jun had not known about the existence of skills.
Although he had learned of their existence while preparing for the collaborative broadcast.
“If you go to the tavern to receive your first commission, Christina noona unlocks the skill window.”
“Ah. I said goodbye right after the tutorial ended, and I haven't dropped by the tavern since then, so that must be why.”
Now he understood.
Suddenly, Alpaca felt a question arise while conversing.
“No, wait a moment. Then why on earth did you catch Drake? It's not like you received a commission from the Assassin Brotherhood either.”
“I was pickpocketing in the market, and then I was called over by gang members.”
“Ah...?”
Seo-jun said so casually, but Alpaca's expression was changing second by second.
“Ah...”
Although they had a meeting yesterday, he had not known about such detailed inner workings.
- lolololololol
- wwwww this guy is about to do Kyeon-wang because of a pickpocket wwwww
- The culprit is a pickpocket lolololol
- Is he really a master? lolololol
“Haha. That can happen. You preserved the peace of the market, hahaha... Tsk. Well, then the second thing is related to that very skill.”
This was the reason why Alpaca had mentioned the skill just now.
Alpaca brought up a window.
“This is a capture of my skill window.”
A magnified photo of the description of a locked skill popped up.
[Weakness Detection]
[Unlock Condition: Destroy weapons 10 times through Gyeol (2/10)]
- lolol you're doing this?
- Nonsense.
- What is that?
People who were interested in the game noticed the identity of the photo, and people who enjoyed it lightly demanded an explanation.
“Now, let me explain from here. Everyone, by any chance, have you seen a video like this?”
The content of the video that Alpaca newly played was like this.
When the user in the video attacked a specific part of the rapier held by the enemy, the rapier shattered into pieces.
Even with the same type of rapier held by another NPC, or even if the attack was made with a different weapon, the result was the same as long as the specific point was properly attacked.
The notification that appeared after that.
[Unlock Condition: Destroy weapons 10 times through Gyeol (2/10)]
The video ended there.
“Everyone, the concept of 'Gyeol' appears in fantasy novels, right? A weakness where you can easily split an object! If we find just ten of those, we can obtain the skill called Weakness Detection!”
The Gyeols found so far were a total of two.
One was the rapier that was broken as a product of chance seen in the video and spread to people.
The other was the Gyeol of the longsword found through an NPC who tells about Gyeol if you do sub-quests.
- So how are we supposed to find it lolol
- What is the rule?
- Nobody knows.
- But what kind of skill is Weakness Detection?
“We don't know what kind of skill it is. Because it is the last remaining locked skill. So yesterday, just in case, since Seo-jun-nim's skills are good, I asked if he could find the Gyeol.”
- Why are you satisfying your selfish desires on a collaborative broadcast?
“Why am I satisfying selfish desires? Are you guys not uncomfortable with a skill that hasn't been unlocked!”
- So why are you inviting the Professor to find out lolololol
“Because I lack the skill!”
- Confident! Alpaca!
- lolol
- So what's the conclusion?
“Yes. The conclusion is that after watching the video, Seo-jun-nim said he thought he knew the rules of Gyeol. Right?”
“Yes, well.”
Seo-jun shrugged his shoulders.
As always, with a relaxed expression.
- ??? Bluffing has its limits
- He's overreaching lololol
- How would he know that?
- Is Boss Al opening his shop today? lolol
“So! Let's make a bet on whether we can find it within today's broadcast or not!”
In fact, this was the main content of the broadcast.
Gyeol? Ruler? Teachings? It was all buildup for this.
[Channel point prediction begins]
Precisely, channel point prediction.
That which drove the viewers crazy.
- Gazua!
- Boss Al! Hurry up and take my points!
- Today's betting will be easy haha
People did not know at this time.
That the greatest reverse bet in the history of Alpaca—no, of Travel—would explode.
