The next day.
Before starting his broadcast, Seo-jun went to check the Assassin's Dawn community.
When he went to the 30-recommendation posts, most of them were content related to large-scale streamers and game information.
The post Joseon's Assassin had written yesterday was...
‘Found it.’
When he flipped back to page 2, he saw many posts that had made it to the 30-recommendation list with related content.
[The reason why the 30-recommendation Mu-myeong-jwa video is fake]
[The reason why Mu-myeong-jwa's video is legendary]
[The pros didn't do the first clear, it's not that they couldn't do it]
[Why put so much meaning into a musou play in the first place?]
The posts had high views and many comments, and it also seemed like a fight had broken out.
- But looking at Mu-myeong's video, why is there damage when he's slashing with a staff?
You've never played Do-sum before, have you?
Yep
Let me explain. The staff is made of iron.
So?
It's tetanus damage.
Stop talking nonsense. There is a blade-like thing embedded in the staff. It seems it was meant to be used when you can't draw the sword inside the staff, but he just didn't draw it until the end.
There were comments like these as well.
But that was all.
‘It really gets buried quickly.’
Even if he scrolled up just a little, people were already having heated discussions about other topics.
The community Seo-jun saw was one where topics that drew people's attention were constantly being thrown.
Therefore, remaining there for a long time was close to impossible unless one supplied new material.
Seo-jun looked around at other posts.
And before long, he discovered a post that caught his eye.
[Shared) The reason why the new Level 10 AI is so f*cking cheeky]
‘This is the Assassin's Dawn community, though? Does talk about the Training Ground come up here too?’
Seo-jun did not know well, but famous incidents tended to be mentioned regardless of the community's topic.
Because most people also knew about the details, recommendations were easily given as well.
The Training Ground was a gateway that many people frequently used as a place to warm up and pass through at least once if they started virtual reality, and there was a strong perception that Shin Ha-yeon's AI, which had kept the position of Level 10 for five years and frustrated other pros, was impregnable.
It meant that someone had defeated such an AI and still did not reveal their identity, and at this point, it would actually be stranger if the entire community were not talking about it.
Seo-jun clicked on the post.
When he went inside, the post was one that had been brought over exactly as it was from another community.
Everyone knows that the Level 10 AI has changed, right?
A few days ago, on the broadcast of former pro Gamjeon—whose routine is to turn on the Training Ground and challenge Shin Ha-yeon before starting the game—some man was suddenly summoned instead of Shin Ha-yeon, so everyone went crazy.
His name is unknown.
A private user.
Maybe that's why everyone is paying attention to the identity of this unknown, but I want to focus on his personality.
This time, a hyung I know gave me a video of him fighting unknown.
This is that video.
I got permission to upload it.
(Video of fighting the Level 10 AI)
Looking at this, his skill is a given, but more than that, you can see how vicious this bastard is.
If you watch, sometimes he purposely turns his head away and blocks the sword.
His bad manners are insane.
He wants to show that he can block even without looking, so he turns his head away even when he is fighting well, and the hyung I know said he got extremely angry because of this too.
What sin would an AI have committed?
You can see the intention behind uploading the data like this.
Bad manners.
And when you lost your sword, Shin Ha-yeon would wait until you picked it up again, right?
This unknown is a bit different.
The moment you lose your sword, it's over.
He goes first, steps on it, and then taps it with his sword to mock you, or throws it far away.
I wonder if this is why he set his information to private lolol
An even more chilling fact is that in the past, when people registered a Level 10 AI, they made it fight the previous Level 10 AI for several hours so that the AI could mimic that person.
That is the way of gathering data.
Why this is chilling is because it means this unknown entered this kind of data while fighting Shin Ha-yeon, who had ruled for five years.
Meaning he did all the parrying and turning his head away, lololol
For reference, that hyung is convinced that unknown's identity is absolutely not human, but a new form of AlphaGo made by some project team, shiver.
(Link to original post)
- Shin Ha-yeon wasn't running The League ranks yesterday lolol
From what I see, she is 100% playing in the Training Ground.
It's famous that Shin Ha-yeon periodically updates her data because she doesn't want to lose her throne.
- His bad manners are crazy lolololol
Real lolol since that is a more honorable position than expected, other masters used to show courtesy.
But he sets it to private and does that, lolol
Seo-jun felt a groundless sense of injustice.
‘I think it just ended up like that because I was blocking while chatting with Tae-woo...’
The task of updating the data was more tedious than expected.
Because it was simply repeating combat over and over again.
That was the only reason, but before he knew it, he had become a person with bad manners.
- I just watched the video, could it be Mu-myeong-jwa?
Stop mentioning that small-time bastard.
Stop the brain-rot!
It was Joseon's Assassin once again.
Did he have some sort of divine power?
‘He is quick-witted. Hmm.’
Seo-jun checked the comments one by one and then felt a slight sense of regret.
He did not know that attention would be drawn to this extent.
But
‘Gaining anything suddenly is not a good thing.’
Did he not know this through the experiences of his past life?
That unprepared power was rather a poison.
And
‘I just need to grow day by day.’
After stretching, Seo-jun entered the capsule and prepared for the broadcast.
[Followers: 432]
More people than expected hit follow.
But among them, the viewers who had watched his live broadcast were only six.
How many would actually come.
[Starting streaming]
Seo-jun clicked on Assassin's Dawn: Breath of the City.
The background was dyed black, and the buildings that had been lying flat on the other side of the ground rapidly approached his side and began to look down.
“T-hi!”
As soon as Seo-jun turned on the broadcast, the chat window and the number of viewers began to rise.
- Seo-hi!
- Is this the famous Mu-myeong-jwa broadcast?
- I was waiting
- Broadcast ON
- It really wasn't Joam's broadcast, shiver
“Yes, I am indeed not Joseon's Assassin-nim's broadcast. For reference, I didn't bribe him either.”
- lolololol
- Swiftly blocking the controversy lolol
- Is this the veteran-like composure of a second-day streamer?
Just as they began communicating like that, a sound like a fanfare rang out.
['HowDoIReallyDoIt' donated 10,000 won!]
[I challenged after watching your video, but I can't defeat Ettore. How do I do it? I kept waiting for the broadcast just because I really wanted to ask!]
It was the first donation.
“Oh. Thank you for the donation. Um, how to defeat Ettore? Just hit only one spot. It worked when I did that.”
- Kya! I didn't know that.
- Speaking as a viewer who watched yesterday. Don't ask him anything lolol
- Only the streamer can ask.
- 10,000 won thrown away lololol
Seo-jun snapped out of it after seeing the chat about the 10,000 won thrown away, and then gave advice.
“If I had to give a tip, it would probably be best to aim for vital points. When NPCs are slashed elsewhere, they don't panic much, but for vital points, they panic and their posture collapses a lot. Actually, the damage is all similar, though.”
Afterward, Seo-jun conversed moderately, buying time for people to enter.
['Finally' donated 1,000 won!]
[I... can... breathe... now]
“Ah, uh, congratulations?”
A look of wonder appeared in Seo-jun's eyes.
Was it a new inside joke?
- Congratulations, look at this sh*t lolol
- Is that the guy who made it to the 30-recommendation list yesterday?
After having a short communication time before starting the broadcast in earnest like that, Seo-jun checked the number of viewers.
[Viewers: 327]
He had expected about 100 people to come, but viewers far exceeding that expectation came to watch the broadcast.
‘It seems like almost everyone who was going to come has arrived.’
Seo-jun felt the need to end the small talk and start the game.
Because his broadcast was a gaming broadcast.
However, there was nothing Seo-jun knew in detail.
If it were another game, he could just do as he was told, but Assassin's Dawn was an open-world game.
If he were an ordinary player, he would just wander here and there and learn naturally, but since Seo-jun was a streamer, he needed something to show the viewers right away.
“Now. What should I do next?”
At Seo-jun's question, chats poured in.
- Show us musou.
- Are we finally going to the verification?
- What is there to verify, you guys.
Those who flowed in because of the community wanted to fight.
- You can just look around. If there is something you want to have, you can earn money by taking commissions from the Assassin Brotherhood, or you can pickpocket, or look around the city. This is what open world is!
- If you want to push the story, you have to resolve assassination commissions, which you can do by wandering around the city districts and assassinating key figures.
Some person typed in detail in the chat about the game.
Looking at the nickname, it was the person who had explained in detail during the first broadcast.
“Hmm. If I want to see the story, can I just use this Signal Stone?”
The description of the Signal Stone was written like this.
[It is a tool containing magical power that allows communication with the Assassin Brotherhood.]
- Yep, or you can go to the tavern.
- Surprising fact) No matter which district you go to, Christina noona is always there.
Seo-jun recalled the basic information he had looked up yesterday.
The name of the city that served as the background of this work was Alteon.
Alteon was an ideal city that moderately mixed the advantages of beautiful ancient European architectural styles and crowded modern streets.
Such Alteon was divided into a total of four districts.
The center of the city where the royal family resided, the northwestern part where the Magic Tower stood, the upper-class street in the northeast, and finally, the rest where the commoners lived.
Public security was in the order of Royal Family > Magic Tower > Nobles > Commoners, and the assassination difficulty was the same.
Players could receive missions suitable for that district through the Assassin Brotherhood no matter where they went, and it was practically possible to assassinate randomly without even receiving a mission.
Even the Assassin Brotherhood.
“First, I will try pickpocketing as a warm-up.”
He had never done pickpocketing even once, neither in his past life nor in his current life.
So he was curious.
- Are you avoiding a fight because you're afraid your skill will be exposed? lolol
- Yep, try it once. If you get caught doing that, the guards will run over immediately.
- Market go go
Seo-jun opened the map.
“Oh, the city is wide.”
The location of the market was the center of District 4, where the commoners lived.
It was a place that would appear if he walked just a bit from where Seo-jun was currently standing.
Seo-jun expressed admiration continuously while looking around the city streets, and the viewers also liked such reactions of his.
The market they arrived at like that.
Seo-jun naturally blended into the crowd.
Just like a shadow.
And he secretly moved his arms while purposely bumping into people.
“Oops!”
*Slide.*
“Hey, watch where you're going!”
*Slide.*
“Oh, young man, are you okay?”
*Slide.*
Before he knew it, there were as many as three wallets in Seo-jun's pocket.
“I tried incorporating the secrets of Geumnasu, and it's quite easy.”
- A streamer who is f*cking good at pickpocketing to a suspicious degree lolol
- No, was your control skill built up in reality?
Which back alley are you from?
- He says he is from the Murim.
- Was this room a thief broadcast, not a musou one? lolololol
- No, originally, getting caught pickpocketing and being chased by the guards is the fun part .
Seo-jun looked at the chat window with a proud expression.
“With this much, I wouldn't starve to death anywhere, right?”
- With that much, you could build a building in Gangnam lololol
It was then.
“Hey, hey, come over here.”
Seo-jun turned his head to check the source of the sound.
The place Seo-jun looked at was a shaded market alley.
From there, two people stealthily appeared.
“Yeah, you. I saw you doing something interesting, but if you want to do business here in the market, you should get permission from us!”
Seo-jun looked back and forth between the two and made an absurd expression.
“Wow. While pickpocketing, I get caught not by the guards but by thugs and get shaken down? What kind of game is this.”
It was a dumbfounding feeling.
- Real lololol the degree of freedom is too high
- What do you mean building in Gangnam lolol instantly cut!
- Are we finally seeing musou? Let's wreck them all like this.
“This won't do. Guys, can I eliminate their organization in the game?”
Seo-jun's brain began to work.
Wouldn't it be good to link this kind of incident with the broadcast?
- Yep
- If you just defeat their boss, the market floor becomes clean.
- Do-sum god-game!
Seo-jun showed his teeth and smiled brightly.
“It's possible? Then, let's go with eliminating their organization as today's broadcast goal.”
The goal was set, and people began to get excited at Seo-jun's statement.
- Ke, are we filming a noir film?
- You're going to catch Decembler? lolol
- Verifying skills with Decembler? I seriously can't miss out on this.
It could not be helped.
Because the bastards who called him just now were members of Decembler, who had mask marks engraved on their shoulders.
And Decembler's boss was the ruler of District 4, an existence equivalent to a mid-boss of the game.
- I bet that streamer doesn't even know what Decembler is lolol
- Now, let's go in.
- Plum cookies.
- A crazy manly man who will defeat a gang just to pickpocket
- Ah, I watched it for the first time today, and the broadcast is f*cking fun lolol
