[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 117

“……”

No answer came.

Instead, a minion wave like a storm marched forward.

"Ah."

Only then did Li Zixuan realize the serious mistake he had made.

The question he had asked had no subject.

It was a ridiculous mistake even to himself.

[All][qq7785dd55(YasOn) : hey outlaw]

[All][qq7785dd55(YasOn) : who are you?]

Li Zixuan asked again, but alas, the answer still didn't come.

"……."

Why isn't he answering?

What did I do wrong?

‘…Does he not speak English?’

No, that's not possible.

According to Coach Jang Seok-hwan, Korea is a country where English is a mandatory subject throughout elementary, middle, and high school.

It wasn't complicated business English, and it was unlikely that he wouldn't be able to answer because he didn't know simple English at that level of everyday conversation.

Then?

‘Did he turn off all chat?’

That was quite likely.

It wasn't even necessary to turn off all chat, but it was also true that there was no need to keep it on.

‘Should I add him as a friend after the game? But what if he doesn't accept?’

Lost in these thoughts, Li Zixuan felt his game was getting snowballed.

‘Maybe, he’s aiming for this?’

…No, even so, this is a bit too much.

Li Zixuan focused on the game again, but it was not easy to turn a game that had already been lost.

No, even if this game was advantageous, could he have guaranteed victory?

‘…No.’

Li Zixuan was surprised to find himself denying that possibility.

The mid laner of GRS, who is considered to have no rivals even within the league.

This year, he had harbored the ambition to redeem his previous defeats and bring the Red Cup championship trophy to China, but such a weak appearance in a solo rank?

‘First, win the game.’

Li Zixuan's eyes held the minions.

* * *

What? Why ask that all of a sudden?

It wasn't just me who was flustered, and the viewers' reactions were not much different.

-???

-Suddenly?

-Isn't that GRS Nightmare?

-LOL?

-Red Cup runner-upㄷㄷㄷ

-Someone is making the Red Cup runner-up curious????

-LOL ㅋㅋ

-Breaking news) Red Cup runner-up immediately feels the wall and the jungler is crying out

-Maybe a recruitment offer?

-Nah, I doubt it

The viewers made all sorts of speculations, but I already knew the reason.

‘It’s not that there's nothing I can guess….’

I once received an offer from GRS.

It was an offer that was hard to find better even if you combined all the offers I'd received until now.

That is to say, GRS saw me in such a good light, and although some time has passed, it wasn't unreasonable that they remembered me.

Especially, in the case of Nightmare, the mid laner of GRS, we had played quite a few games together.

‘Of course, I have no intention of answering.’

The game continued.

The situation of the game had already tilted quite a bit, and the only thing left was the four-dragon team fight, which was as good as free.

The opponent now had one of two choices.

To give up the Dragon Soul and hold on until the end.

Or to stake everything on this team fight and fight back.

The opponent chose the latter.

Of course, it was a choice that was hard to call the right one.

-Enemy Eliminated!

-Triple Kill!

-A Legend Appears!

-Finishing!

After a massacre that was embarrassing to call a team fight, our allies advanced straight to the enemy's mid and bottom lanes.

Fire Dragon Soul.

2 Inhibitors.

1 Twin Towers.

Baron on the way back.

That was the result of this team fight.

Now, the only thing left was simple.

With the Baron buff, Jason would split push on the bottom lane, and the remaining allies would gather to push the top inhibitor and end the game with a three-lane super minion wave powered by the Baron buff.

Is that too troublesome? Then just apply the Baron buff to the mid and bottom super minions and push forward.

Even though the risk might increase a little more than the previous method, you can finish the game faster.

Did he have a premonition that the game would end soon?

The chat window went up once again.

[All][qq7785dd55(YasOn) : Outlaw]

[All][qq7785dd55(YasOn) : Who are you]

This guy, why is he so persistent?

-The host didn't answer?

-Breaking News) Nightmare 0 confessions, 3 rejections ㅋㅋㅋ

-Ouch… ouch…!!

『‘World's Best Jungler Jjushim’ has gifted a Moon Balloon ‘10’』

『“I feel sorry for you, please answer”』

“……”

No, it's not a matter of feeling sorry or anything…….

‘What do I do with this.’

If it were like before, I could just ignore it and finish the game.

Friend requests would come, but that could also be ignored.

But…….

『‘Manly Child’ has gifted a Moon Balloon ‘10’』

『“Answer”』

-An

-swer

-the

-An

-swer

Why are these guys so good at uniting on useless things like this?

I ignored the wind that was blowing, considering it a fair wind, but soon the fair wind turned into a gale and blew.

‘…Ugh.’

In the end, I was left with few choices.

“Are you asking me to answer the question of who I am?”

-ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ

-ㄱㄱㄱ

-As a Red Cup runner-up, it's too much to keep ignoring...

-National pride is falling!

-Why does national pride matter, old man

-LOL ㅋㅋ

“Ugh…….”

I reluctantly put my hand on the keyboard.

* * *

Defeat loomed.

Li Zixuan wasn't particularly desperate.

After all, defeat was something that pro gamers always had to experience, and it was even more so in solo queue.

However, what made Li Zixuan's heart anxious was, as always, the existence of Outlaw.

‘The game is already lost. Let's try sending a friend request after it's over.’

At that moment of giving up on the game.

[Outlaw(Eku) : I’m a ■ ■■TV■■ ■■■ BJ ■■■■■ ■■■. ■ ■■ing ■.]

An answer came.

However, because it was written in Korean, Li Zixuan couldn't understand more than a few letters.

Li Zixuan had been studying Korean recently, but it was only at the beginner level.

Li Zixuan urgently called Coach Jang Seok-hwan.

“Coach Jang Seok-hwan!”

At that shout, Coach Jang Seok-hwan, who was half-slumped on the sofa, exhausted, sprang up.

“What, what?! What's going on?”

“Quick! Quick!”

Li Zixuan, speaking even the Korean he was diligently learning recently, spoke awkwardly and sought out Coach Jang Seok-hwan.

“What, what does this say?”

Coach Jang Seok-hwan, looking at Li Zixuan, who looked half out of his mind, asked with an unreadable expression.

“What's going on anyway?”

“Later. First, read what this means!”

At that desperate request, Coach Jang Seok-hwan reluctantly turned his gaze to the monitor.

And then he was a little embarrassed.

“Uh, um….”

“Why? What does it say?!”

“…He says he’s Outlaw, who’s broadcasting in Korea?”

“You think so─ Huh?”

“He says he's a RedTV BJ Outlaw, and he's advertising to be nice to him?”

“…….”

Li Zixuan was speechless.

No, so…….

“……An internet broadcaster?”

“That's what it says.”

It wasn't a strange thing in a way.

The popularity of internet broadcasters in China is enormous.

Of course, there would be many internet broadcasters in Korea as well.

But…….

Even so, if he’s a player of Outlaw's caliber, I thought he would have to be a pro, or a person related to Prisoner…….

‘…No. It's not confirmed yet.’

Although it didn't seem to fit in with what he had expected, Li Zixuan did not back down.

Anyway, what was important now wasn't what Outlaw was doing right now.

“Coach, can you go into that Outlaw's broadcast?”

“He even told us the platform, so it’s not that difficult… Alright. I’ll look for it when that game is over.”

“Thank you.”

And soon, the nexus exploded.

[Defeat]

It was a clean, crushing defeat that had been predicted for a long time.

Of course, that's one thing, and Li Zixuan sent a friend request to Outlaw without flinching.

As expected, there was no response.

‘I knew it.’

Since he didn't think he would readily accept the friend request, Li Zixuan turned to Coach Jang Seok-hwan.

“Coach.”

“Alright.”

Since the VPN was already on, it wasn't that difficult.

Search term RedTV.

And…….

“Is this it?”

Soon, he found a broadcast that seemed to be Outlaw's broadcast.

RedTV was also a platform that Coach Jang Seok-hwan had often enjoyed before, so it wasn't difficult.

-C1) Ranking 1st place, no break, working hard today

However, Coach Jang Seok-hwan's mouse paused at the sight of the cam, which was briefly glimpsed through the preview.

"……Is it not?"

What did I just see?

Although it was only briefly glimpsed through the preview, what appeared on the small cam screen on the bottom right was clearly that of a woman.

“What’s wrong?”

“No… just a little confused. Let's go in and check.”

Since there were no other broadcasts using Outlaw's nickname, Coach Jang Seok-hwan clicked on the broadcast.

After a brief advertisement…….

“Huh?”

“What’s wrong? …Huh?”

The faces of Coach Jang Seok-hwan and Li Zixuan were simultaneously filled with shock and bewilderment.
