There was a channel point system in Travel.
Channel points referred to points that automatically accumulated according to certain conditions while watching Travel, and normally, a viewer who started Travel for the first time could receive 100 points.
And although it was rare, viewers who watched Travel for a long time also accumulated points in the millions.
However, what kind of reward would be obtained with the points collected in that way differed for each streamer's room.
This was because it was the streamer who set those rewards.
In broadcasts that did not place meaning on points and did not care about them, there was not much of a place to use them no matter how many points were collected.
However, in the room of a streamer who actively utilized them, as long as the amount was sufficient, one could start by making changes to the chat text with points, obtain or modify emoticons, and even request songs or horror games from the streamer.
But there was a separate, true reason why viewers liked these points.
“Now! I gave you plenty of submission time, so place your bets comfortably, everyone.”
It was precisely because of the channel point prediction, in other words, a system of betting points on the content of the broadcast.
[Prediction]
[Within today's broadcast~]
[They will find one or two of what's called Gyeol by fluke.]
vs
[No, they will find up to three or four.]
vs
[What kind of nonsense is that? Mu-myeong-jwa will also return empty-handed like other people. (0)]
vs
[No. Mu-myeong-jwa is an alien with a third eye that sees Gyeol! (Will find 4 or more)]
Several unexpected cases that Alpaca had written in advance came up.
Now, viewers could check the real-time display of the odds, the number of participants, and the total betting points, and place their points on one of these predictions.
Ah lol of course he can't find it lolol
Surely there are no suckers betting on the alien, right?
I think he'll find one or two, let's go!
You suckers, this older brother is releasing high-quality info. A few days ago, it became a hot topic in the community for a moment, and hundreds of people challenged it, but nobody found it, so it got buried. You get it by now, right?
Of course, since points had absolutely no monetary value, were generated solely by watching Travel, and were digital content that could not be exchanged or traded, this prediction system was not gambling.
It did not matter at all even if they lost.
In most cases, no matter how many points they collected, the most they could do was type a chat that would get buried in a second a bit more flashily.
But
Human psychology was like that.
Even with a comic book that they had not read for ten years, humans were creatures who felt like they were losing out if they were told to give it to their cousin for no reason.
But what if they directly bet and lost their points?
Even if it had no meaning, wanting to win the prediction and wanting to collect points was like an instinct.
Definitely the safe bet.
There are actually kids who believe he can see that and bet lolololol
Crazy underdog bettors lolol they bet on this 1%? lolol
“What is a safe bet and what is an underdog bet?”
Seo-jun quietly looked at the chat window and asked about his curiosity.
Alpaca kindly gave him an answer.
“Ah. A safe bet refers to a bet where you place money on a team that is expected to win, so the probability of winning is higher, but if you win, you earn less money.”
“Ah. Then an underdog bet would be the opposite.”
“Right. Usually, people say that to describe those aiming for a big jackpot.”
“Hmm. Then it's strange. Why did 'I can find it' become the underdog bet?”
Seo-jun knew how absurd it sounded to say that he could see Gyeol if one did not know about his past life.
He also understood that the real-time betting ratio of points was 55% for 'will find nothing,' 39% for 'will find one or two,' 5% for 'will find three or four,' and 1% for 'he is an alien.'
But for the sake of fun, Seo-jun put on a truly shameless expression and continued speaking.
“Everyone, if you bet on my 'will find four or more,' it's a hundredfold return. Trust me.”
Does that even make sense? lololol
Why should I trust you and entrust my precious memories?
“Memories? What memories?”
“Ah! Because these points were accumulated while watching the broadcast, they are also called memories.”
“Are you betting those precious memories on something like this gambling? Wow.”
Real lolololol
That direct hit was awesome lolol
Yeah, but I'm still not betting lol
“Now, now. Then, into the game...”
['Assassin of joseon' made a generous donation of 10,000 won!]
[Trusting Seo-jun-nim, I bet all the points I collected over three years on four or more, am I normal?]
No
Kya! Foreign currency came in
What a sucker lolololol
Real lolol
Usually, when a viewer from another channel placed a bet, it was expressed as foreign currency coming in.
“Ah. Congratulations. You will win a hundredfold return. Probably.”
Seo-jun smirked.
That was, of course, if that system called Gyeol followed the rules that Seo-jun was thinking of.
But if it was not?
Well, nothing could be done about it.
To be honest, it seemed like there would be.
An intuition built up through his past lives.
He just knew it.
“Now! Then let's go check it out. We don't know the result either. It's just because Seo-jun-nim said he thought there would be. We cannot take responsibility.”
Probably lolololol
Soon, three years of memories will fly away
Truly the heart of a beast shiver
The prediction time closed, and Seo-jun ran Assassin's Dawn.
“Ah, wait a second!”
Alpaca's scream, for reasons unknown, was drowned out as the screen transitioned.
<><><>
Darkness fell in an instant over the background of the high mountain region, and Seo-jun appeared in the middle of Alteon.
A pipe was held in his right hand, and the half-destroyed theater troupe came into view in front of him.
Seo-jun avoided the spot, turned on the 'Assassinate Together' function, wandered slightly, and invited Alpaca from his friends list.
And after waiting for a moment, a figure crawled up slowly from the shadows.
It was an Alpaca.
“Whew. Fortunately, you invited me well. I went 'uh-oh' right after sending the viewers and Seo-jun-nim off.”
lolololol
Until now, there had never been a master like this.
So that was why he screamed?
They first went to the tavern and opened the skill window.
“Now. The place we are going to go now is the residential area where the upper class lives, which is one of the four districts. In the game, it is called the Northeastern End.”
Alpaca naturally began delivering information to the viewers while pretending to explain to Seo-jun.
The place they were going was the Northeastern End.
It was a place where commercial and cultural facilities such as luxury shops and entertainment facilities for the upper class were developed, and townhouses were lined up.
If one went to the outskirts, it was the undisputed center of Alteon, where the grand mansions of nobles stood.
“Simply put, it's Alteon's wealthy village.”
The place where Etor resided was also this Northeastern End.
There were many plazas and parks here, and there was also a straight street called the Noble Path that led from the residences of the high nobles to the royal castle.
The assassination difficulty of key figures was right below the royal castle.
Unlike the crowded District 4, the Northeastern End was easy to be detected due to its wide and open spaces, and there was a guard patrol that periodically patrolled.
The reason they came here.
“We are all here.”
While walking, a scream came from beyond the grand mansion.
Alpaca jumped over the wall, and Seo-jun followed suit.
Because action correction was applied, they could easily climb over a wall that was over three meters high.
As they jumped over the wall like assassins, a scene came into view in the garden where a young man who looked like a nobleman's child was harassing a child wearing ragged clothes by stabbing them with a rapier.
“That guy is Louis Neville, the son of Richard Neville, the ruler of the Northeastern End.”
He was also the main character of the video where the weapon was destroyed.
“First, we should check your skills, right?”
“Sure.”
Seo-jun nodded and stepped forward.
And he took out the sword he had received from Alpaca from his inventory.
This was because it was hard to target precise areas with a pipe.
Though in truth, it did not really matter to Seo-jun.
Alpaca began his commentary from behind.
“Now, everyone, even if you know where to strike to destroy it, following that precisely is a difficult task. I consider simply recreating the video to be a level of difficulty that is one step above parrying. Of course, with Seo-jun-nim's skills, he will succeed quickly, but still, a few failures... Huh?”
The work was finished in an instant.
As Seo-jun approached, Louis Neville smirked and made a surprise thrust with his sword, and Seo-jun lightly dodged to the side as if he had expected it, then slashed the blade of the lunged rapier diagonally, exactly as seen in the video.
At the exact location and with the same speed as the video.
Even though it was a sword he had just gripped, he adjusted the distance as if it were a part of his body.
Seo-jun's indifferent expression, as if it were no big deal, was shown, and Louis's estoc cracked open and was destroyed as if the grain of wood had been struck down with an axe.
Yes? Is it difficult?
What do you mean a few failures lolol
Wow, a master is indeed a master.
Are the safe bettors slowly getting nervous?
[Weakness Detection]
[Unlock Condition: Destroy weapons 10 times through Gyeol (1/10)]
Seo-jun's skill window was updated.
“Kya. You finished it in one go. Something really was different about you compared to us.”
Alpaca constantly expressed exclamations of admiration.
He had barely succeeded after attempting dozens of times even after watching the video several times.
Even if the enemy's sword was still, slashing the exact location was harder than expected.
Yet hitting it during combat, and succeeding in one try at that, was clearly an amazing thing.
But
Alpaca approached Seo-jun.
“But you know it hasn't been proven yet, right?”
Seeing the underdog bettors get so cocky just because he succeeded in that one thing is so annoying lololol
Please wake up
Real
In the first place, if it was to the extent that he could find it so quickly, wouldn't other people have found it long ago, you underdog bettors?
“Well, that's true.”
Seo-jun nodded and finished off Louis Neville.
And he reflected on the sensation from a moment ago.
“But. It became certain just now.”
“Huh? What did?”
“That the rules I thought of are correct.”
It was a highly arrogant remark for someone who had only destroyed one weapon through Gyeol just now.
lol I'm sure you do
Kids who get fooled by this should be careful of pyramid schemes, real
It had been several days since the game was released, and at most, only one case had come out
“Well, seeing is believing, so I will show you right away.”
Just in time, a soldier was seen running over this way after hearing the scream of Louis, whom he had finished off.
The shield and sword they were holding.
He had to find the weakness that could break those.
An acquired vulnerability created by a crack in an object, or a fine distortion in its shape and structure, just like the grain of wood.
‘The creator implemented that.’
The vital point.
‘I think the past abbot of Shaolin, who obtained the mind's eye, said he saw something similar to this.’
Regardless of whether it was an object or martial arts, that was.
Was it a similar concept?
He had not obtained a mind's eye like that of the Shaolin abbot. His past life's realization of martial arts was certainly high, but the insight and comprehension regarding objects were higher for the high monk of Shaolin.
So in truth, he could not see what was called Gyeol.
No, he did not even know it.
In the past, and even now, that was.
But
‘In the end, the Gyeol of this game was planted by the creator.’
It meant that there was no need to recite Buddhist scriptures and awaken to the Dao just to understand the realization of objects.
He only had to grasp the enemy's intention—in other words, the creator's intention.
And that kind of fight was the specialty of Seo-jun, who had accumulated countless combat experiences.
Seo-jun closed his eyes with his sword held high.
The guard's movements were obvious anyway.
lolol
Did he give up?
Why are you closing your eyes, mister lolol
In Seo-jun's head, countless diagonal lines were drawn on the shield and sword held by the guard.
At various angles.
The cases of Gyeol he knew were two.
Even among those, the one he directly experienced was only one.
But this was enough.
Among the countless diagonal lines drawn as an illusion, those that did not match the creator's thoughts were erased.
And
Seo-jun's arm began to slowly descend.
