I May Be a Virtual Youtuber, but I Still Go to Work - Chapter 92.2

Meanwhile, the Gyeonggun team was preparing for their 23rd scrimmage against the busy Gongsadabang team.

Subakjeongol, who was in charge of the orders, muttered leisurely after seeing their next opponent.

“Everyone, let’s take it easy in the next game.”

[Ah. Is the next one against the Gyeonggun team?]

[Yes.]

[Thank goodness. Wow. The Pandral team is really tough because of Taro.]

[Flashbangs are insane, seriously. I just get angry from being constantly blinded.]

The Gyeonggun team had already been identified as the weakest and a source of nourishment among the four teams, so everyone was relieved to hear that their next opponent was the Gyeonggun team.

They were slowly getting exhausted from scrimmaging all week and practicing separately.

Healing with such a weak team was a great help in recovering their mentality and confidence. Naturally, everyone prepared for the game thinking of the previous Gyeonggun team.

“First, like before when we played against the Gyeonggun team. If the enemy pushes in, we unconditionally open the path and let them plant the bomb. Their defense is very weak, so even if we’re on defense, let’s just focus on retaking the site.”

[Roger.]

[Acknowledged.]

[Let’s go~.]

Everyone was relaxed.

Since the round-robin rule meant that each team would play against each other once, and the top 1-3 teams would advance to the playoffs, there was no need to expend energy on the Gyeonggun team, who were practically confirmed to be in 4th place, or to prepare new strategies.

Originally, it was important to concentrate from the first round, the pistol round, to buy better guns faster than the opponent and solidify the victory.

But why bother? They’re the weakest team.

{{ DEFENSE }}

Thus begins the first round of the best-of-10 game.

Starting with defense, they would be on defense for the next 10 rounds.

Everyone on the Gongsadabang team went to their positions and stood guard as if they had made a promise.

Among them, the person in charge of A short (usually, a straight, open passage leading to the site is called long, and a winding path is called short) was Kaljam.

He was the team’s 4-tier player, but he had a considerable talent for holding angles and played his role well.

As usual, he hid next to the arched passage, aiming at the headshot line, waiting for the enemy to enter.

How long had it been?

Thud, thud, thud, footsteps began to be heard.

[Enemy one A short. Not yet entered—.]

Usually, the attacker pauses for a moment before entering.

This is because it is easier to enter after shaking up the waiting enemy by throwing a flashbang or concussion grenade.

However, the opponent did not stop.

The footsteps quickly approached. The running continued.

[Wait, they’re entering straight away. Need support at short!]

A white mustache and dreadlocks appeared in the archway.

It was Smoker, Magia.

Kaljam immediately aimed at Magia, but a smoke grenade flew in faster, trapping Kaljam inside a spherical wall of smoke.

‘What is this? Are they telling me to fall back?’

Combative has its own language.

For example, smoke falling during combat means ‘let’s stop here’.

Magia had always played Smoker until now, and had always placed smoke grenades in strategic locations. It meant that we would dominate the inside with this smoke as the boundary, so get out of here.

In other words, the place where Kaljam was standing was the boundary line the opponent wanted.

Since the key to the defense is how much to preserve numbers, Kaljam immediately retreated.

The top priority was to get out of the smoke and find a new position.

But just before he turned halfway to get out.

An assassin who had silenced his footsteps appeared inside the smoke.

[Gasp.]

Kaljam’s heart sank, but somehow the sound was that of a cheerful mini-barrel.

Thung!

{{Magia >> (head) (mini-barrel) Kaljam }}

[No way, they came in?]

Until now, she had left the decision to Serena and used it for ‘truce’ purposes, but for Magia, the smoke was actually an attack signal.

The inside of the smoke was where she belonged, so the play just now was too natural for Magia.

Why didn’t they come in after laying the smoke?

Were they cowards?

Anyway, that’s what Magia thought.

Suddenly, someone fell down.

The Gongsadabang team’s talk code became noisy.

[A short. What’s going on?]

[They put smoke on me, so I thought they were expanding their area and I fell back? Suddenly they came in and my head exploded.]

[They used smoke and came in right away?]

[Yeah.]

Subakjeongol, the order-giver, immediately said a word.

“They may have come up with a new strategy. Everyone else, don’t fall back like Kaljam when the enemy lays smoke, wait and shoot them when they come in.”

[Acknowledged.]

[Got it.]

[Wait, footsteps at A long…Ah, I got smoke again.]

The situation that killed Kaljam just now was happening again.

This time, it was Dudung, who was in charge of A long, who was trapped.

Since there was advice from the coach, Dudung stayed inside the smoke without leaving.

The middle is at risk of being targeted, so he deliberately moved slightly to the side.

-Thung!

[Wow.]

However, a shotgun that suddenly flew in grazed Dudung’s body. Dudung, startled by the loss of health, immediately started moving.

Letting the smoke ghost hear your footsteps means you’re going to die.

As expected, the second pellet cluster from the mini-barrel flew in.

Thung!

{{Magia >> (head) (mini-barrel) Dudung}}

[No way. What is this?]

“Situation report! Briefly.”

[I. I got grazed by a shot from outside the smoke, so I moved, and suddenly another shot came and my head exploded. Mistake, sorry.]

“… Hmm?”

Subakjeongol tilted his head.

The situation was turning out a bit funny.

‘… Could it be that they grazed him to startle him, then listened to his footsteps and shot his head?’

It was natural to use a pistol because there was no money in the first round.

But choosing a mini-barrel among them was abnormal.

The range is terribly short and the magazine capacity is only two rounds.

But if they really intended the situation just now, that’s even more abnormal.

Make them make a sound and then shoot their head?

While he was thinking, a report came from the mid-tunnel.

[Sound in the mid-tunnel! I think it’s Magia, what should we do?]

“Maintain your stance for now. The B short person move between the mid-tunnel and A short.”

[Roger!]

[Acknowledged.]

No sooner had they exchanged words than smoke was laid in the mid-tunnel, around Jinsam.

It was the last smoke grenade that Smoker could use.

[…Huh.]

But unlike the previous two cases, it didn’t explode in a way that surrounded Jinsam.

A spherical smoke was created as if blocking the wide passage right in front, but it was slightly biased to one side of the passage, leaving a gap on the other side.

In this case, if you are inside the smoke, there is no way to know if the opponent is passing through the gap between the smoke and the corridor.

Therefore, Jinsam chose to step back rather than enter the smoke, and at the same time aimed at the gap that was not smoke.

This was based on the judgment that even if he was aiming to the side, he could catch them if he pulled the crosshair, as the opponent coming out of the smoke would be relatively disadvantaged in terms of vision.

It was the confidence that a 1-tier player on the team could show.

But as he aimed and slowly retreated.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from inside the smoke.

Just as Jinsam stopped moving and aimed at the smoke, thinking they were about to pop out, Thung!

{{ Magia >> (head) (mini-barrel) Jinsam }}

[Argh. What?!]

He died with his head exploding without seeing anything.

The team members who were watching Jinsam’s screen after he died shouted.

[No way. What’s with the sound baiting.]

“Sound? What’s the situation? Explain.”

[So…….]

It was a truly cunning play.

It sounded like it was coming from inside the smoke, but in fact it was a footstep made while sticking right outside the smoke.

After making Jinsam focus on the smoke, she slipped out through the gap between the smoke and the corridor and blew Jinsam’s head off.

It was a trick that clearly recognized that it was impossible to perfectly measure the distance of footsteps unless you were a pro.

Instantly 2:5.

Dark clouds slowly gathered in Subakjeongol’s head, as if a smoke grenade had exploded, as he had to give orders.

It’s good that the opponent’s strategy has changed.

The Gyeonggun team wouldn’t want to stay in last place forever.

But isn’t this a bit embarrassing?

Does it really come down to this, just because they started using the smoke that they used to use for the team for individual use?

‘Don’t be surprised….’

But the first round is a pistol round, it’s okay to give it up.

It’s enough to do another pistol round to save money.

You can also fight well and steal opponent’s gun.

“Everyone. You seem to be too careless because they’re an easy opponent. Concentrate.”

Above all, everyone was relaxed, saying they were an easy opponent.

The same thing wouldn’t happen in the following 2nd round.

Such unexpected variables can occur at any time in a game that lasts up to 19 rounds.

As long as you don’t keep getting caught by the same trick, you won’t ruin the game.

“This time, if you find a Smoker, get support from the nearest person right away.”

[Got it.]

[Acknowledged.]

The new round started like that.

Not long after giving the instructions, Kaljam heard footsteps again in the same position.

[A short, they’re coming again!]

[I’ll go cover right away.]

Kaljam died at A short earlier, and then died in succession.

This time, Jinsam, who was waiting in the mid-tunnel, moved towards Kaljam to back him up.

This is because it is rare for someone waiting in a crossfire to get wiped out by an individual pushing in.

Kaljam stared intently at the arched door.

With the thought of turning them into a beehive as soon as they came in.

But this time, the smoke was laid in a different location.

Not on Kaljam’s side. Nor on Jinsam’s side, who came to cover from the mid-tunnel.

It was a smoke that blocked the arched door where the two people formed a line of fire.

“Huh?”

At this point, Subakjeongol, who was giving the orders, also became confused.

Clearly, in the 1st round, they used smoke for attack in a different style, but as soon as the 2nd round started, it felt like they had returned to their original means of area control?

But reports started coming in.

[I keep hearing footsteps inside the smoke, what should I do?]

[Should we shoot? Can’t we kill them if we shoot from both sides?]

Magia is inside.

There’s no way she would accidentally make a sound, so it must be baiting.

Then what are they making the sound for? To gather attention? What are they trying to do by gathering attention? Do they think only one person is waiting?

Then bang, bang, bang! Suddenly, the sound of a single-shot pistol was heard.

“What, are you fighting?”

[No, they showed themselves for a moment.]

[Damn it, I couldn’t catch them. Too bad.]

Why would someone who has been using smoke strategically suddenly do smoke peeking for no reason? That’s impossible.

What information did they try to secure by coming out of the smoke, even getting grazed? The location of our allies.

They must have checked the location to take the next step.

Continuing to make sounds is also to make us focus on the smoke.

They will definitely attack again.

“Don’t just stand there peeking at the smoke, use grenades to check them and fall back! Regroup!”

[I’ll throw a grenade!]

All techniques have a casting sound effect.

In the case of smoke, there is a whooshing wind sound.

In the case of grenades, there is a ting sound of pulling the pin.

And that sound is also an attack signal for Magia.

[No way!]

Magia, who had burst out of the smoke at full speed, rushed at Kaljam, who was pulling the pin on the grenade.

Thung!

{{ Magia >> (head) (mini-barrel) Kaljam }}

Jinsam, who was watching from the side, aimed at her and tried to fire, but whoosh.

Smoke immediately flew in and enveloped Jinsam.

It was the same situation as in the 1st round.

“What happened!”

[No way. They heard Jam hyung pulling the pin on the grenade and came out and headshot him. Wait, I’m trapped in the smoke again….]

Suddenly, a clicking sound is heard.

It was the sound of Magia reloading the mini-barrel.

Jinsam couldn’t just tolerate this.

Outside the smoke, the side where the reloading sound was heard was an open area with no cover.

It was advantageous for us to pop out right away.

[Are you crazy, reloading now- -.]

But waiting for Jinsam, who had popped out of the smoke, was Magia in aiming stance.

[… Huh?]

She deliberately made a sound by pressing the reload button, took the pistol from the fallen Kaljam, and waited.

People are always fascinated by the ddubbae and smoke and forget.

Magia is originally good at handling other firearms as well.

Bang! Bang!

{{ Magia >> (head) (Outlaw) Jin Sam }}

Watermelon Stew shouted in a flustered voice at the rising kill log.

“What? What’s going on!”

Once could be a mistake or luck.

But from the second time, it’s closer to skill.

People watching the broadcast on the Gong Sa Da Mang side couldn’t hide their shock.

It was as if the opponent who had been getting beaten up the whole time suddenly released a sandbag, and that sandbag weighed a ton, so the ground rumbled as soon as it fell.

Some even felt PTSD.

Most of them had watched Moogun’s Battle Colosseum civil war.

And they were viewers on the side of the victims who had suffered at the hands of Magia.
