I Quit Being an Idol and Became a Youtuber - Chapter 22

“······”

On the avatar’s expression, which soured beyond concealment, the viewers’ reactions were varied.

-Host’s expression totally soured lolol

-Shotgun sucks in BF lolol

-The devs haven’t buffed that gun and abandoned it

-Did host swear vengeance on shotguns?

-Why does it keep following her?

-Damn unlucky lol

“····Yeah, I’d like to know that too.”

Why do I always get entangled with that damn shotgun whenever I play a shooting game?

Having been utterly destroyed by enemies while holding that gun even in my first game broadcast, I had no fond memories of shotguns whatsoever.

“Well, I can change weapons anyway.”

“I’ll pick it up for now.”

After contemplating, Cheongha chose to pick up the shotgun.

It might be different if she were alone, but she wasn’t the only person who landed here.

To protect herself from other users, she had to hold at least one gun.

Anyway, submachine guns are better for close range.

I’ll just use this until I find one, then ditch it.

“For now, I’ll loot some more.”

In shooting games, armor was just as important as guns.

No matter how well the opponent shoots, good armor could save you from attacks that would otherwise kill you.

[Bulletproof Vest Lv.1]

-Provides some protection for the body against enemy bullets.

[First Aid Bandage]

-Treats injuries to some extent.

-Has a hemostatic effect.

“Still got something decent.”

Fortunately, except for the gun, the quality of nearby items was reasonably good.

Thanks to the Lv.2 backpack she picked up just before, there was enough space for items.

“Looks like I’ve looted this entire building······.”

“Need to move next door.”

-How’d you loot so fast?

-Are you perhaps experienced?

-Your hand movements are extraordinary.

“What experience, what experience.”

“I’m not like that.”

Just a fresh former idol turned streamer.

In both past and present lives, I’ve never been involved in such activities.

Tatatadang-!

“Still, that person over there is naked.”

The somewhat fortunate point was that the person over there seemed to be in their underwear, perhaps having not found armor yet.

‘But, I haven’t found a helmet yet either.’

My defense is higher, but their range is longer.

Since I don’t even have a Lv.1 helmet, if the opponent lands a headshot, I’ll be seeing the respawn screen right away.

‘Running away is also impossible because of the range.’

One way or another, it was a situation where I ultimately had to fight the opponent.

“First strike first.”

-Boom!

Peeking out from beside the cover, I fired the shotgun.

As the attack range was wide, some pellets hit the enemy’s body.

Tatatadang-!

However, perhaps because the damage wasn’t very large due to the spread pellets, suppressive fire immediately flew towards my side.

‘What is this·····’

No matter how much the power drops as the distance increases, it couldn’t even kill a naked person?

Realistically, isn’t this a bit too much?

“Tch.”

Cheongha clicked her tongue at the shotgun’s performance, which was worse than imagined.

There was a reason why people universally dissed it.

Tap-tap-

Perhaps gaining confidence after seeing the shotgun’s damage, small footstep sounds were heard.

It was movement completely devoid of caution.

“That person is a complete beginner.”

Even though I’m also a beginner, I can at least do that much.

Boom-!

Along with the shotgun’s characteristic explosion sound, the approaching enemy’s body collapsed.

Simultaneously, a kill log appeared at the top of the screen.

[Field123 was killed by Chungha24]

“Hmm, I won.”

Judging by the nickname being Field followed by numbers, it seems like just an AI though.

It seemed I wasn’t the only one who thought so.

-But isn’t that an AI?

-Seeing the nickname is 123, seems like it

-What, anticlimactic.

-Still, considering host’s track record, this is damn good lol

-That’s true, definitely better since changing computers.

-Definitely expressionless but somehow looks proud lolol

“What does it matter, I won anyway?”

Considering she failed even the 1-kill mission from before, successfully shooting something accurately was truly remarkable progress.

The fact that my skill level improved remains unchanged.

“Well then, shall we see what they collected····.”

Cheongha, having regained her composure, checked the armory… no, the person’s corpse that had walked right up to her.

Inside were an assault rifle and its bullets, and healing items, that was all.

Other items weren’t very good, but gaining a usable long-range weapon at this point was a plus.

“Well then, let’s try going somewhere else.”

Since there weren’t many buildings nearby, there weren’t many items to loot either.

That’s why there were few people, and why a beginner like me could survive.

“So, where would be good to go next?”

I opened the game map and asked the viewers.

This time only, backseating is permitted.

-Backseating allowed now?

-Host isn’t gonna ban us, right?

-Then heading near the bridge seems good?

-Battle Field limit is closing soon anyway, have to cross the bridge.

-Lots of good guns there too

Right?

The area near the bridge has good items?

“Really?”

“Then I should avoid that area for now.”

At Cheongha’s words, the viewers started throwing hooks.

-??? Yes?

-?

-?

-What, then why did you ask

“If the items are good, there will be many people, right?”

In a situation where I haven’t even found a helmet, I had no intention of doing the crazy act of jumping into a place where bullets fly from all directions.

‘It would be nice if there was a car or something nearby.’

Well, this place doesn’t even have a helmet, so would there be a car?

Cheongha started moving, being as careful as possible.

She didn’t want to suddenly die from getting hit in the head by a stray bullet that flew out of nowhere.

---

Tadadang-!

About 15 minutes had passed since Cheongha started the game.

Continuous gunshots echoed from afar.

‘Truly brutal.’

Perhaps because the game’s quality itself was better, it felt completely different from playing CreWar.

The number of 100 survivors began to decrease rapidly, and soon only five people remained.

“Wow, I didn’t expect to make it into the final 5 in the first round.”

The initial number of players in this game is basically 100.

When the remaining number drops to five, the circular field allowing survival properly starts shrinking, forcing the survivors into one place.

And those who make it into the final five receive increased experience points after the round ends.

-Didn’t host kill nobody except that one earlier?

-Surviving until now after killing just one AI is impressive lol

-Is this good luck or what lolol

‘But I really didn’t think I’d survive this long.’

After the computer started running properly, Cheongha’s playstyle was consistent.

Hide and loot, avoid people as much as possible.

Ironically, because of that, she couldn’t properly perform the practice she originally intended to do.

‘It feels a bit wasteful to die now····.’

Now that the cage was set, there was no longer any way to escape.

“Now, if I die, it can’t be helped.”

From now on, it would be a real skill battle, so getting a free win by luck like now would be impossible.

Alright, let’s try doing it properly.

The final designated field was a plain spreading wide like a savanna.

Something was wriggling far away outside the field.

“Found one person for now.”

She aimed the gun towards the figure moving far away.

Thanks to attaching a 3x scope, aiming wasn’t much of a problem.

Bang-!

The rifle, preset to single-shot, spat fire.

‘······They survived that.’

Perhaps their armor was quite good; unfortunately, the enemy didn’t die in one shot.

“Ah, they threw a smoke grenade.”

Immediately, the opponent threw a smoke grenade on the ground to avoid the attack and concealed themselves.

-Isn’t it better to fall back for now?

-Agreed, won’t be able to see in the smoke

“It’s okay.”

“Just need to obstruct them.”

Hitting them is the best picture, but even just obstructing them like this so they can’t enter, they’ll die on their own outside the field.

‘Besides, the smoke range isn’t that wide.’

The smoke grenades in this game didn’t have a very large radius.

Even a beginner, if they paid proper attention, could sufficiently seize the initiative.

Just as Cheongha focused and aimed at the opponent hidden in the fog.

Vroooom-!!

An engine sound was heard from somewhere.

‘Wait, why is that sound getting louder.’

Quickly turning the screen towards where the sound came from, a motorcycle carrying a person was flying towards Cheongha.

“What is this.”

Pak-!

Without even time to react, the motorcycle passed by with the sound of something being hit.

[Oh dear, what a pity!]

[Still, you did well!]

{4th Place}

Simultaneously, the game screen turned black, and text appeared.

“······Yes?”

A deflated sound escaped Cheongha’s mouth at the unexpected situation.

The eyes of the avatar displayed below the screen widened, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Before she could even grasp what had happened to her, the viewers hammered the current situation into her head.

-Got hit by a car? lolol

-Roadkill holy sh*t

-What, a water deer?

-In the end, couldn’t even practice properly and just got roadkilled.

-I really like that expression, always thrilling.

-Fr looks like an anime character so cute

“This f*ck······.”

Cheongha quietly suppressed the curse about to escape her lips.
