I Have Reasons to Hate Streamers

“I told you not to call me noona. You really don’t listen.”

Despite the severe typos, it wasn’t illegible.

It probably means another party has arrived.

Well, it’s clearly an excessive force to invest in killing one sniper, especially when we’re not even pro gamers.

However… he did say he ran off with some items.

They’ll probably try to kill him until they get them back, so I guess it makes sense.

The fighter’s health bar was constantly fluctuating, indicating they were in the midst of an intense battle.

Seeing this, I fell into a brief contemplation.

‘Should I go help?’

Is there a need? I feel like I’ve done my part.

I did promise to receive an additional 20 million gold if FlameOfCommunism survives.

But an assassin is not a babysitter. It means I can’t be sure if FlameOfCommunism will survive while I’m killing enemies.

With bad luck, I could end up working hard for nothing and not get paid.

Can’t I just leave the party and go queue for Arena matches?

I was already satisfied at the point of killing the streamer.

Dongmicham silently turned off his broadcast, and the hunt was ruined anyway.

Just then, a message that dampened my enthusiasm arrived on my interface.

[Whisper from VoidLord]

– This is SSA’s guild master. The higher-ups have declared war.

– Thanks to you, our side can breathe a sigh of relief.

– Thank you for your hard work. We’ll pay the completion fee in the same way as the advance payment.

Nevertheless, my legs kept moving towards the battlefield without rest.

There was one thing I really wanted to confirm.

* * *

The sniper’s gunshots rang out incessantly.

As predicted, the battle situation was 2:5. It was clearly disadvantageous, but surprisingly, they weren’t swept away immediately.

It was all thanks to the desperate fight of FundoshiManiac, the fighter.

He focused on preventing the enemy assassins from escaping while making full use of the sniper’s cover.

The overwhelming specs of the top siege guild probably played a part, but it seemed his basic skills were excellent too.

Still, there was a limit eventually.

A high-end spec fighter is a class with a full hexagon of abilities.

Be it damage or defense. Even combat sustainability.

At a glance, it might seem like a class with no shortcomings, but it was also a class with an honest style to that extent.

In a situation where you’re purely outmatched in power, minimizing damage is the best you can do.

There’s no ability to create variables.

As if to prove this, several arrows were stuck in the fighter’s body.

[Whisper from FundoshiManiac]

– He;lp

– Ple;ase

– Cut

– Arc her, 2

As expected, a message full of urgency arrived.

A request to kill two enemy archers while he holds out.

Thinking there might not be a better option, I immediately traced the trajectory of the arrows.

One was on top of a pile of hangar containers.

The other one… I can’t see well from here.

They were also constantly moving, so it seemed it wouldn’t be easy to track.

There’s a clear difference in skill between the two archers.

It might be better to think about the harder-to-find one later.

Alright. The target is set.

First, let’s start with the easier one to kill.

Once we reduce their numbers, something might work out.

[Party Member Information]

[FlameOfCommunismDestruction(Sniper) – Remaining HP 76%]

[FundoshiManiac(Fighter) – Remaining HP 27%]

There’s no time to spare.

Fundoshi’s health had been cut down a lot since I last checked.

I guess the burden was too much after all.

Thinking it would be too much to hold back the assassins any longer, he was now only maintaining a standoff with the paladin.

The enemy would probably be searching the area for our sniper by now.

In that gap, I caught the back of the archer who was happily shooting arrows.

It seems they noticed midway, but it was still too late.

It’s close combat between an archer who needs to maintain distance and an assassin. I have the advantage in both specs and skill.

It didn’t take long for my dagger to pierce the archer’s heart.

[You have forcibly eliminated adventurer KingDeerGuise.]

[Due to the opponent’s preemptive attack…]

The priestess found nearby was a bonus.

Maybe because they didn’t expect my presence, they had taken their position too carelessly.

I guess they didn’t hear the news from the dead Dongmicham.

What were they doing that they didn’t even brief?

There should have been ways to contact outside the game.

The archer I ignored earlier sent a check towards me, but our hidden sniper responded.

He easily took the priestess’s life.

By the way, was it okay to shoot just now?

[You have forcibly eliminated adventurer AlwaysServingPriestess.]

[Due to the opponent’s preemptive attack…]

Snipers have long range but loud gunshots and easily exposed trajectories.

They must have revealed their position.

Well, they must have shot because it was fine. They’re not fools, after all.

Anyway, with me taking out the priestess as well, it became an even match.

Although our fighter’s health was significantly damaged, there was still a considerable spec difference.

We could expect some struggle.

After a short while passed like that.

As I was searching for the enemy archer, a welcome message popped up.

[FundoshiManiac has killed HomoScience.]

[FundoshiManiac has been killed by BurningPantyFairy.]

Our fighter finally managed to kill the paladin.

It seems he couldn’t withstand the arrow that followed, but thanks to that, I was able to confirm the archer’s position.

As expected, this one is quick-witted.

It seems they’re moving as soon as their position is exposed, but I’m not naive enough to lose sight of an opponent I’ve seen once.

Above all, if they could escape by running away, why would I be an assassin?

I closed the distance while deflecting incoming arrows with my dagger.

The boring chase didn’t last long. The archer’s direction happened to be towards our sniper.

Bang─! A bullet lodged in the forehead of the archer who was hopping around.

[FlameOfCommunismDestruction has killed BurningPantyFairy.]

But there was one thing FlameOfCommunismDestruction didn’t consider.

Did the enemy archer really move that way by chance?

How could that be?

The archer must have headed towards their assassin to shake me off.

Above all, finding a position through bullet trajectory wasn’t a skill only I could do.

Then, where is the enemy assassin now?

[FlameOfCommunismDestruction has been killed by ThickBaldhead.]

It was the moment my 20 million gold flew away.

[Title: Guys, is there any way to raise sensory synchronization rate above 30%?]

It’s nothing special

Just curious

[Comments]

– It’s not impossible, but why?
└ No, I’m just really curious

– If you search for VOS jailbreak, you’ll find it, but I strongly advise against it
└ (External link: Sensory synchronization rate limit release) Is it okay to look at this?
└ That’s right, but why are you really doing this?
└ There’s a reason 15% is the standard rule. If they say don’t do it, don’t do it
└ Even at 30%, it hurts like hell if you get hit wrong..

[Title: Has Gawol-nim ever done broadcasts or something before?]

I know they’re not doing it now

But have they really never done it?

Haven’t they appeared at offline events or something?

Someone as famous as Gawol-nim should have at least one photo out there, right?

[Comments]

– Whoa, why are you trying to dig up personal information, I’m scared
└ I’m not trying to dig up personal info, you idiot, I’m just asking if there are any photos

– You think you’re the first one who’s tried to dig that up?

– When Traveler died, Q Prime fans gritted their teeth and searched, but nothing came up
└ Nothing came up at all back then?
└ Yeah

[Title: I’m thinking of learning wrestling from today]

Has anyone learned it?

Where should I go?

And what’s the gender ratio like?

[Comments]

– Why on earth are you curious about the gender ratio

– The kid suddenly lost it

– Dongtan…

Infinity Black’s death penalty is not light.

Typically, there’s a 4-hour connection restriction, but if you die with notoriety, you can lose experience or suffer temporary stat reduction.

And some items have risks like ‘destroyed upon death’ or ‘ownership lost upon death’.

These aren’t common items, mostly items used at the guild level.

Such items are used as materials for useful siege weapons, because it would be troublesome if strategic weapons were too easy to make.

And just a day ago, I had heard these words from FlameOfCommunism.

– I stole a few unique items when I left the guild. I was an executive.

I wonder if he still has those items?

Could the reason SSA guild spent money to protect FlameOfCommunism be because of those items?

The condition for FlameOfCommunism to hand over the unique items might be his own protection.

If my guess is correct… the guy who killed FlameOfCommunism must have those unique items now.

My dagger accurately pierced between his eyebrows.

[You have forcibly eliminated adventurer ThickBaldhead.]

[You will not receive a PK penalty due to the opponent’s preemptive attack.]

[You have acquired the unique item ‘Tear of the Demon Dragon’.]

This was the reason I took the risk and returned to the fight.

It turned out to be very efficient farming.
