Fanatic Youtuber Who Writes Wikis - Chapter 95

The prize for first place per match is a whopping 4 million won.

For a one-day casual competition, 1 million won per person is quite a juicy prize.

However, even though our team has the infamous aim monster Aimbot, achieving first place isn’t exactly easy.

Every opposing team has at least one top-tier veteran from the Battle Lounge.

Aimbot could also mess up and get taken out.

In that sense.

Rather than aiming for the uncertain first place.

Clearing the ‘Praise from Aimbot’ mission is the most reliable way to secure 1 million won.

We’ve recently hired two full-time employees, so we’re in a situation where we really need the money.

The Awakener Association’s life allowance comes in regularly, but more money is always better.

Who knows.

If YouTube does better than expected, I might even hire a thumbnail artist.

- No, Chairman, if you set missions like that, this guy’s going to troll again!!!

- We’re screwed.

- Super nervoussss!

- Making Aimbot swear <- If this were the mission, it would’ve been an easy clear.

- For real lol

- Uh, uh, Leader, your movement looks weird.

- Twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch.

- Just stay lying on the ground, please.

- It’s scary because it feels like you’re going to suddenly rush.

- Well, but if you stay still, you can’t clear the mission lol.

- Can you hold back? Can you hold back from this?

- If it were me, I wouldn’t hold back and would’ve fired.

…Don’t get me wrong.

It’s not like I’m going to intentionally troll to clear the mission.

It’s just that I’ll act a bit more boldly to clear the mission.

After all, to get praise from Aimbot.

You have to do something that helps the team, right?

No more kissing the ground.

I stepped out of cover, searching for where the enemies were.

Bravely standing up with my gun…

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh.”

‘E-Zia520’ has been knocked out by ‘ParyPery’s SSR.

- Ugh, don’t go out of cover lol lol lol lol lol lol lol.

- So this is why Excal unnie told me to just kiss the floor.

- Just stay still, please lololololol

- For real, if you just stay still, you’re doing your part.

- Hmm… but she’s a streamer. Can she endure this?

- Throw itttt

…She couldn’t endure it.

Before she could do anything, she got hit by four DMR shots and immediately went down.

[Ugh, it’s you again, E-Zia?]

- Pinet Ham lololololol

- I think the heat is slowly rising lololololol

- Enduring E-Zia’s trolling, difficulty level LV.99

This was my second knockout.

And now, Pinet started blatantly using informal speech with me.

The spot where I got knocked out was outside cover.

It was a dangerous position where smoke grenades were absolutely necessary to revive me, so Pinet quickly threw two or three smokes as soon as I went down.

While Pinet was reviving me, Embot and Baekjanggun suppressed the enemy.

Thanks to this fantastic teamwork.

I was able to survive.

“Ah, thank you…”

Bang!

‘E-Zia520’ has been knocked out by ‘ParyPery’s SSR.

“Ugh.”

[Ugh!!! I’m sick of even talking now!]

It was a troll.

A troll like no other.

I was clearly staying quiet inside the smoke, using a med kit, but I got unlucky and got hit in the head again.

The snowball kept rolling.

Pinet overextended to revive me again.

And as a result, Pinet also got knocked out by the enemy’s focused fire.

It seems like all the surrounding teams were pouring their attacks on us.

In the end, this time, Embot and Baekjanggun threw smokes everywhere to revive me and Pinet.

Embot, Pinet, Baekjanggun.

These three together could easily exert the force of more than five players.

Just abandoning me cleanly and engaging with the enemy would be the fastest way to win for the team.

But since this was a streamer tournament and not a regular ranked game, they didn’t hesitate to use smoke grenades every time I went down.

As a result.

[I’m out of smokes.]

[Ugh, E-Zia!]

[…I’m out too now.]

They used up all the smokes they had.

If you had to pick the most overpowered item in the Battle Lounge, it would undoubtedly be the smoke grenade.

It forcibly creates cover even in open plains with no cover.

The importance of smoke grenades doesn’t need to be explained.

And those precious smoke grenades.

They were all used up because of me.

[…This is bad, isn’t it? We might end up last.]

At Embot’s muttering, Pinet and Baekjanggun fired back.

[Yeah. The zone screwed us over. No smokes, no chance.]

[We’ve got 30 seconds left. Even if some of us die, we have to force our way into the circle.]

“Huh.”

Listening to my teammates’ conversation, I laughed.

- Laughing?

- She’s crazy.

- The team is losing, and she’s laughing!!!!

I couldn’t help but laugh.

Because right now.

It was the perfect opportunity for me to get praised by Embot.

I confidently told my teammates.

“I have 4 smokes! I’ll give one to each of you.”

To properly fulfill my role as a level 4 backpack, I chose to carry grenades and smokes instead of bullets.

Hearing this, Pinet brightened up and said.

[Oh, even a slug has its uses! Good job, E-Zia-nim!]

“…”

- Pinet Ham lolololol

- Pinet Ham doesn’t hold back

- Back to formal speech lolololol

[Please throw the smokes, E-Zia-nim.]

Throw them?

Not give, but.

Throw, right?

To double-check, I asked Embot.

“Throw them? All of them? Where?”

[Yes, all of them. Right in front of me…]

“Got it.”

Tick.

[…Wait, no! I didn’t mean throw, I meant give…]

Pshhhhshhhh.

Tick.

As I was about to throw the third smoke after throwing two.

I stopped at Embot’s urgent voice and replied.

“Why?”

[Ah.]

[…We’re screwed.]

[…Embot, this is your fault.]

“…?”

I couldn't understand the English.

They said to throw a smoke grenade.

So I threw it as told, but why did the atmosphere suddenly turn like this?

Pshhhh.

Even the smoke grenade I was holding exploded.

Soon, the smoke began to slowly envelop us.

I said to them,

“Does this count as my fair share?”

[…]

For some reason,

the three of them didn’t respond.

First match.

Final rankings.

1st place, Team 3.

2nd place, Team 4.

3rd place, Team 9.

…

10th place, Team 7.

It was a disastrous result.

Even though Ezia, who was at the lowest tier, was included, Team 7 was the strongest contender for victory.

Even though there was some bad luck with the zone, it wasn’t enough to land them in last place.

There were two main reasons why Team 7 ended up in last place.

First.

The other teams had implicitly formed alliances and blatantly ganged up on Team 7.

It was an officially sanctioned chaotic tournament, and Team 7 was the strongest in terms of firepower.

So, it was only natural that Team 7 got ganged up on.

Second.

Team 7 had Ezia.

Because of Ezia, the smoke grenade was thrown.

Because of Ezia, bullets were wasted.

Because of Ezia’s fake pings, securing vision became even harder.

Mbot blamed himself for his mistakes, saying,

“Faint hyung, Baekjanggun hyung, and... Ezia-nim. You all worked hard. It’s a shame.”

[It’s a shame, but what can you do?]

[Still, it was fun. In terms of pure fun, this was probably the best.]

Even though they came in last place,

Faint and Baekjanggun were oddly in high spirits, grinning from ear to ear.

The reason they were smiling was simple.

They lost because of Ezia.

But thanks to Ezia, the broadcast was a hit.

Ezia was like a cheat code for collab streams.

Throughout the entire game, every word and action of hers was broadcast gold.

Thanks to her, Team 7 became the team with the most live threads on the community.

Ezia’s dazzling performance allowed them to secure double, no, triple the average viewership.

So even though they came in last, Faint and Baekjanggun couldn’t stop smiling.

Of course, it was fun too.

But.

Regardless of the viewership or the fun, Mbot, who had staked his life on the Battle Lounge, couldn’t just laugh it off.

[Ugh...]

Hesitating.

[I’m sorry...]

Ezia mumbled an apology.

Then Mbot waved his hand and said,

“No, I was the one who performed the worst. Ezia-nim, you did well.”

It was a polite remark, an empty compliment, but

part of it was true.

It was Mbot’s fault for not fully grasping just how terribly Ezia performed in the Battle Lounge beforehand.

The viewers thought Ezia’s gaming skills were being treated like some subhuman creature, assuming it was just exaggerated hype or trolling.

But it was accurate.

It was Mbot’s fault for stubbornly ignoring the viewers’ precious advice.

Even the smoke grenade incident at the end was a result of Mbot miscommunicating, so who could he blame?

Of course, if Ezia had even the slightest bit of common sense,

no matter how poorly Mbot communicated, she wouldn’t have thrown the smoke grenade like that.

Throwing smoke in the direction of movement, not where you’re standing, is common sense among common sense.

But she wasn’t human.

...Right.

It was Mbot’s fault for not realizing that she wasn’t human.

So Mbot repeatedly praised Ezia, saying she did well.

He was a professional at breaking VTuber masks, but he wasn’t a rude person.

The match was already over, so there was no need to ruin the mood here.

As Mbot forced out the praise,

[Uh, did you just compliment me?]

“…”

Ezia started another psychological battle.

Mbot recalled the experience of being utterly defeated by Ezia in a psychological battle just a few dozen minutes ago.

Thinking there was no good in engaging in a psychological battle with Ezia,

he eventually trembled and opened his mouth.

“…Yes.”

It was Mbot’s declaration of defeat.

[Oh my, Haejang-nim lost 1 million won…]

Beep.

Ezia’s mic cut off belatedly.

[Did you receive the mission?]

[I guess so. Complimenting Mbot, or something like that.]

[Ah, but it was so damn fun.]

[So. Jia, you're an interesting person. Ah, you said you're not a person, right?]

Mission reward of 1 million won earned by Lee Jia.

Profit.

Pint and Baek Jang-gun, who sweetly secured both viewership and entertainment.

Profit.

Embot, who lost the game, lost the psychological battle, and failed to break the mask.

Loss.

An overwhelming loss.
