[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 218

-?

-Why is the streamer like that?

-Report

-He's flustered ㅋㅋ

-Cute

-Wake up

-Money-grubber ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

『‘Nyarnyarnyar’ gifted a balloon ‘10’ times.』

『“Get a grip”』

『‘[Lawless Zone]NoonaIWantToDie’ gifted a balloon ‘10’ times.』

『“Wake up”』

Ah.

“I got a message. Just a moment.”

-Message?

-From whom?

-?

-Huh

-Messaageee?

-Boyfriend

-Rly ㅋㅋ

-Isn't he being too obvious?

『‘Moooolsooo’ gifted a balloon ‘10’ times.』

『“Who is it?”』

“…Ahem, it's my parents, my parents.”

-Is that right???

-Acted like we believed

-Hmm

-Yeah, yeah

-I don't think so

-That's not the look when reading parents' messages

-Rly ㅋㅋ

“I said no.”

-What's the strong denial?

-So, what's the grandson's name?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“…Stop it. I'll take a look at the messages for a moment.”

Of course, as the viewers said, there was no way a message would actually have come.

After making an excuse, I looked for a viewer with the nickname "Prism" for a long time, but unfortunately, he seemed to have completely turned off the broadcast.

‘…Or maybe he’s logged out and watching.’

But it was also true that whether Prism was Rainbow or not, there was no need to do such a cumbersome thing.

He sent 3,500 balloons at once and just left…….

Doesn't he expect some kind of reaction?

If he sent 3,500 balloons coolly, wouldn’t it be okay to expect it?

Even though I have a poor sense of money, this was hard to understand with common sense.

Soon, the question of who Prism was would also eventually fall into a maze.

‘Is he really Rainbow?’

I couldn’t know the answer.

‘I feel a strange sense of déjà vu…….’

Not about Prism, but about this situation itself.

A sponsor who hides his identity…….

Something, something.

‘Is it just a coincidence?’

Unfortunately, there was no way to confirm that fact right away.

Only, I would push one uneasiness to the back of my mind.

-He looks serious

-What is it, what is it?

-Noona, look at me, Noona, look at me, Noona, look at me, Noona, look at me, Noona, look at me, Noona, look at me, Noona, look at me, Noona, look at me, Noona, look at me.

I thought that if I dragged out the time any longer, I would ruin the broadcast I had turned on after a long time, so I dropped my interest in Prism.

“…It’s all done now.”

Leaving the question that was slowly rising behind, I continued the broadcast.

It’s not like the team’s operating expenses were tight, so I had to earn as much as possible when there was a chance.

“Then what I’ll do next……”

The broadcast continued.

* * *

SY practice room.

“Hyung, what are you watching?”

Startled, at the voice of Yoo Sang-hyun, who, as always, caught up with Ryu Jin-hyuk without a sound, Ryu Jin-hyuk unknowingly shrugged his shoulders and turned off the Red TV broadcast screen at the speed of stealing an Elder Dragon in a 2:2 situation.

“Ah, nothing.”

“I thought it was Outlaw’s broadcast. He turned on the broadcast after a long time.”

“Did, did he?”

Did he see it? Did he see it?

Ryu Jin-hyuk cautiously looked at Yoo Sang-hyun's eyes, feeling his heart sinking.

Whether Yoo Sang-hyun knew that fact or not, he chattered as usual.

“I heard there will be a large-scale patch soon, did you see the contents, Hyung?”

“Really?”

“Yes. If this trend continues, it will be applied from around the Summer Round 2 in the competition... Why did they set the patch timing like this……”

“Can't be helped.”

What is the secret to the Legend of League lasting so long?

There have been countless AOS games throughout the history of gaming.

Nevertheless, the Legend of League could become the final winner because it was not afraid of change.

In the case of the games that were originally called the originators of the AOS game, there were problems such as combinations becoming fixed and patterns becoming standardized due to fear of change or various other reasons.

In other words, the game stagnates.

If the game stagnates, it not only becomes boring, but also prevents the inflow of new users.

Because unless they are a so-called genius, it is usually impossible for new users to catch up with existing users with ordinary efforts.

Of course, strictly speaking, the Legend of League was not in a position to tell others about the entry barrier, but it was true that it was much better than the games that came before it.

All professional gamers, including Ryu Jin-hyuk, knew that fact well, so even though they were dissatisfied with the patch contents, they had little dissatisfaction with the contents themselves.

Because they knew well that stagnant water eventually rots.

“When will it come out on the live server?”

“Hmm, next week? I think it will come out around then.”

“Okay.”

“It’s so rough, really.”

“Haha.”

As Ryu Jin-hyuk was laughing without meaning, Yoo Sang-hyun added quietly.

“So, why did you send a balloon to the Outlaw broadcast?”

“Ke-luc! Ke-luc!”

“Are you okay?”

“A-alright.”

Ryu Jin-hyuk, who had a sore throat, glanced.

“……Did you see it?”

“From when you were holding your phone and paying hard.”

Then, it was practically the same as having seen everything.

Ryu Jin-hyuk felt like hiding in a mouse hole right away.

He was so careful not to be caught by his teammates, but he was caught from the important part…….

Map reading failed.

In other words, a mid-laner disqualified.

“Th-that, well… oh, right. Someone put up a kill-per-kill mission for me, and it seems like he ran away after eating it. I feel like our team's fans are getting cursed for no reason.”

“There’s someone who ran away after eating, why do you shoot it for them, Hyung?”

An undeniable truth.

Ryu Jin-hyuk's shoulders twitched slightly.

“…Just, I feel like it's my fault.”

“Hmm.”

Yoo Sang-hyun's eyes narrowed.

It was a clear look of suspicion, but Ryu Jin-hyuk avoided that gaze.

“Why are you hiding so much… Why not watch some female streamer? Strictly speaking, Outlaw isn't just a female streamer.”

That was true.

Outlaw’s broadcast is not just a female streamer, but it is so outstanding that there is no one to follow even if you consider it a skill broadcast.

It was a broadcast with many things to learn, enough for Rainbow himself, as well as the current pros.

It must be true…….

“No… that… it’s not that I usually watch it, but I saw it for the first time this time…”

In fact, what came out of Ryu Jin-hyuk's mouth was only ugly excuses.

“Why are you even making excuses.”

“……”

I hope this time passes quickly.

Ryu Jin-hyuk earnestly prayed in his heart.

* * *

Finally, the short one-day vacation came to an end.

“Then I’ll end the broadcast here today.”

-Already?

-Ugh

-ㄴㅇ

-Noona, where are you going, Noona, where are you going, Noona, where are you going, Noona, where are you going, Noona, where are you going, Noona, where are you going, Noona, where are you going, Noona, where are you going, Noona, where are you going, Noona, where are you going, Noona, where are you going.

-When will you come again?

-Why are you leaving already?

-Let's do more

-Evan-de

-After being here after a long time, already?

“I'm sorry. I have a schedule again starting tomorrow.”

-Let's do a little more, though

-Let's do one more round, go go

-Real last one, go

-Last round, let's do it

“Um.”

I pondered for a moment.

Because I didn’t know when I would have time to turn on the broadcast again after today.

“Then it’s a little bit… rather than solo ranking… I’ll play another game for a bit and go.”

-Okey

-Good

-S.S

-Extreme

-Rock

-Extreme

-Rock

The reason I specifically mentioned other games here was simple.

Legend of League is a game that is often said to be a ‘balloon-only game’.

Because, unlike other games, there weren’t many opportunities for missions, and the main viewing group was also relatively young.

‘Let’s make some money.’

The game I chose was Survival Ground.

It was a representative balloon-blowing game.

-Money-grubber ON

I actively agreed.

The next day.

The days of fierce practice came back again, as if what happened yesterday was a dream.

“Oh, you’re here?”

As I went to the lodging house for work, Baek Seong-an, who didn't seem to be in good condition, greeted me.

He was going to meet his old teammates… he seemed to have drunk a lot of alcohol.

“Noona, hi.”

“Did you guys rest well yesterday?”

“Oh, do you know that, Noona? Seo Yeon-woo sings really well. She looks like a singer.”

“Really?”

That's unexpected.

“It’s real. Let’s go sometime later.”

“Maybe later.”

I don’t know when I'll have time, because I’m going to be very, very busy from now on.

“Is scrim scheduled today?”

To my question, Baek Seong-an, while drooling down honey water, answered.

“Ugh… Kk… uh? Oh, it is.”

“Are you going to be okay?”

“I'm okay. I'll cure my hangover.”

Although I had never experienced a hangover, according to what I have seen in other media, it's not something you can just pass over…….

“It won’t affect the game. My speed is almost okay now.”

Although the ‘almost’ was a little disturbing, I didn't bother to show it.

“So, which team are you scrimming with today?”

When Baek Seong-an talked about the team to scrim with today, I doubted my ears.

“……Who did you say?”

“Didn't you hear?”

Baek Seong-an added with a smile.

“SY.”

Finally, it's time to face the greatest team in the history of Legend of League.
