Genius’s Godlike Game Broadcast

Chapter 117 : Time Warfare – Isolated Annihilation (1)

Time Warfare – Isolated Annihilation (1)

Team PerG-Day's game waiting room.

Unlike during the interview, genome wore a very serious expression.

"I never guessed Sir Soldier A would show up there..."

It was the appearance of an unexpected dark horse.

He put on a brave face like a pro streamer but was actually quite shocked inside.

"Is he really that incredible?"

Lee Gyeongbok couldn't hide his curiosity. No matter how famous someone was, if it wasn't a field of interest, he had no information.

"He's ex-special forces, so his shooting skills need no mention. But what's even more impressive is his field experience and leadership skills."

"You mean he's outstanding as a commander?"

Lee Gyeongbok wasn't the only one who didn't know Soldier A. Genome nodded in response to Eclipse's question.

"CQB, also called close-quarters battle. He's very skilled in close combat systems. It might be better if it's an open area, but he won't give up his advantage."

"So he's strong in indoor combat?"

Yoon Nara and NewtonLord also showed interest.

"Military base, schools, uptown, and so on. You need to be extra careful in main areas. Especially in squad matches..."

"Isn't that over-worrying? The other people aren't even soldiers, right?"

At her question, the other two nodded in agreement. Genome let out a short sigh.

"In that case, I wouldn't be worried either. But Big Peach and his members are well-known military enthusiasts."

"Military enthusiasts? Like they're into military stuff?"

"Yeah. Truth is, that's why Peach Brothers got hooked on GunG and became famous—they roleplay like real soldiers during games."

"Hm, then I guess they'll follow Sir Soldier A's command skillfully."

Genome wrinkled his nose.

"Yes. If you actually go up against them, it'll feel like fighting trained soldiers."

"I'm looking forward to this. It'll be a glorious battle!"

NewtonLord shot Eclipse a reproachful look as he laughed heartily.

"Then we'll have to nip them in the bud. Just tail them from the start and slit their throat; that'll be that."

"No, we can't do that."

Lee Gyeongbok cut off her proposal. All eyes shifted to him.

Was there some special reason?

"That would make the broadcast boring."

"Boring...?"

"If we end things right at the start, after all that interview rivalry buildup, wouldn't the viewers lose interest?"

NewtonLord sighed in exasperation.

"Hey, isn't winning more important than making things entertaining?"

"We need to care about both. Why choose just one if we can have fun and win?"

Lee Gyeongbok countered as if he didn't understand her objection. The other three just blinked at him.

"You don't even have the concept of losing, huh? Yeah, I guess so..."

"How do you even think, honestly?"

Genome and NewtonLord were exasperated, but Eclipse gave Lee Gyeongbok a gentle tap on the shoulder.

"Wishing for an honorable fight... Truly, sir Purple is a paragon of chivalry!"

Their dumbfounded looks only deepened at his reaction.

"Goodness! Look at the time...!"

Realizing their break was nearly over, genome's face showed a twinge of panic.

But there was still no clear conclusion. Lee Gyeongbok spoke to troubled Genome.

"Hyung, you're the team leader, so make the decision. Giving orders is also the leader's job, right? We'll just follow."

"Wait, I think differently!"

NewtonLord suddenly spoke up.

"To be honest, Purple has the most skill, right? Shouldn't Purple be calling the orders?"

Genome was momentarily flustered by her question.

'Can't argue with that.'

She wasn't wrong.

He had only accepted he should give orders because of his team leader role.

"That's not quite right, actually."

Before Genome could reply, Lee Gyeongbok stepped in.

"How so?"

"I could do it if I tried, but experience isn't something you can overlook. I've never even done a four-person squad before."

He shot Genome a thumbs-up and continued.

"But hyung has plenty of experience. Obviously, the most capable person should give the orders."

"... If you insist."

"Oh, and."

As NewtonLord withdrew, Lee Gyeongbok quietly whispered to her.

"Let's not rebel like this during games. You know it's tough if members don't follow the leader's word, right?"

"... Fine."

She flinched for a moment then nodded. As leader of Sweeties, she understood a leader's burdens all too well.

Once things settled down, genome clapped his hands lightly.

"Alright, anyway, thank you for trusting me. I'll do my best so I can repay that trust! Let's get a team cheer going!"

With renewed spirit, he encouraged his team.

Soon enough, the countdown began.

"Viva PerG-Day!"

Genome shouted as the match was confirmed.

* * *

A spacious military plane.

Cutting through the loud engine noise was the clamor of chatter.

"Trha!"

"Alright, today we'll begin the Gunner Ground event match, 'Time Warfare!'"

"I already feel sick, what do I do?"

"Hey, crossing the line from the start. Suggesting suicide, seriously!"

Since they were all broadcasters, they started throwing remarks left and right.

But only for a moment.

After quickly finishing their remarks, they nervously looked around. Soon, a brief silence descended.

"Ah, over there!"

"Purple-nim!"

"What the—?! It's not just me?"

Once attention focused on one spot, an explosion of voices followed.

What they'd found was none other than Team PerG-Day, especially streamer Purple.

"Purple-nim, nice to meet you!"

"I'm a real fan! Subscribed to everything!"

"I'm honestly a no-skills guy. If you see our team, could you just let us pass?!"

"If you run into me, could you just take me out with a fist headshot?!"

"Grenade! Please make sure to pull my grenade pin for me!"

Bombarded with requests, Lee Gyeongbok let out an embarrassed laugh.

― Ah lol this is true Purple class

― Streamer's streamer, lol

― Nah;;; Guys, this is an event match!

― Event? Was it actually OTP all along?

― How can you resist the Purple spectacle, lol

― Getting paid and fulfilling personal wishes? Must be nice

― Sign up for OTP fairly, okay?!

― Even asking the Blind Duck Game Room for mercy, lol

― If you're gonna die, might as well be to Godple

Viewers who chose Team PerG-Day's cam were entertained from the start.

Those who approached didn't seem threatening—they were mostly lower-ranked teams set on entertaining play.

'Just like Genome-hyung said.'

But beyond them, teams surveying here from a distance gave off a threatening vibe.

They were mid-to-high tier teams who'd shown combative attitudes since the interviews.

"Looks like we're target number one."

Genome seemed to notice the attention and came over to say so. They'd agreed to be polite to each other on broadcast.

"But we'll stick to our own tempo. For now, go greet the fans. I'll notify you when the drop point's decided."

He stepped back and pulled up a hologram map, glancing with a serious face.

"Where should we go?"

"Hm... With Killernoid as a variable, just reducing team numbers blindly isn't the way."

Genome answered NewtonLord's question with a thoughtful look.

Where would be the best place to drop?

As Genome struggled with a complex expression, Lee Gyeongbok came up.

"Don't worry about it."

"Huh?"

"Just do what you want. We'll be sure to back you up."

― Purple confidence ON!

― Was it just me or did my heart skip a beat for a second?

― Ah, that's what true Perfect-Backup means (nods)

― They say backup is even bigger than the belly!

― No, lol, are you talking about the belly button? lol

Viewers were satisfied with the comment as Genome looked at the other team members.

"Right. Why am I hesitating when I have a dream team like this?"

He laughed and stood up. The rest of the team gathered around him.

"As Purple-nim said, let's make this fun."

Genome headed to the front, pushing past the crowd. The other teams hesitatingly turned to look at him.

"Attention!"

Genome called out loudly.

With a wide grin, he announced,

"If anyone wants to go home early today, head to the military base! Early leave request slips delivered straight to your door!"

Other teams stared in disbelief. Soon, led by Genome, team PerG-Day jumped out of the plane.

"Viva! PerG-Dayyyyyy!"

― Insane lol, taunt lol

― That's True Choi Entry right there!

― Haha! Come if you dare!

― Is this the effect of Perfect Backup?

― Isn't this a textbook example of bluffing?

― Lol, what's there to be scared of when Purple's got your back?

― Bullet express (literal bullets)

Eclipse flashed a thumbs-up to Genome as they fell.

"Genome Sir! That was truly manly spirit!"

"Thank you! But I don't think I'm the only one brimming with manliness!"

Responding to the praise, genome turned around. Whether lured by his taunt or intending to jump anyway, other teams were following behind.

But there were more than expected.

"Thirty-two people, eight teams!"

Lee Gyeongbok instantly counted and relayed the info to the team.

"Peach Brothers aren't here!"

"I see they think similarly to you, sir Purple!"

But the newly risen rivals, peach Brothers, were nowhere to be seen.

"They must be pretty confident in their skills too?!"

"I'd say so!"

Genome answered NewtonLord's question. The military base was both a key farming location and a renowned early-game battle zone.

"We've got more people than we expected! Let's loot quickly and escape to pick up the scraps!"

― Picking up scraps?

― Looks like he's planning to make the chasing teams fight each other, lol

― Getting craftier with age, as they say!

― Genome is a good strategist

― But is this really righteous, lol

― Seriously, how do you fight 8 teams?

Even the viewers agreed with Genome's strategy, but not the team members.

"Escape? For what!?"

"Declaring war and then running is unworthy of a knight!"

"I don't think there's a need to run."

Both Genome and the chat were left puzzled by the others' responses.

"No, this isn't like a normal game! There are PVE elements, and teaming's allowed! We'll obviously be the main target! The numbers are just too stacked against us!"

― That's... logical!

― At least our hyung knows what's up

― There's a reason he's been streaming for so long!

― Yeah, knowing when to bail is important

― Genome's good at reading the flow, lol

― He rode the Purple coin trend best, after all, lol

― This time, backing out is definitely right, lol

Viewers sided with him.

Lee Gyeongbok laughed and responded.

"True, we are outnumbered."

"Right, so—"

"But in terms of quality, we're ahead, aren't we?"

"Huh?"

Genome's eyes widened in surprise.

But there wasn't time to continue—the limit was reached, and everyone had to deploy parachutes.

But as usual, Lee Gyeongbok kept free-falling.

"This much, I can handle...!"

"I'll follow you, sir Purple!"

NewtonLord and Eclipse did the same. Only Genome deployed his parachute.

― Lolololol, chickening out?

― Nah, genome was actually being sensible, but lol

― The comparison is rough, huh?

― A quality advantage (minus Genome)

― It's fine! Our hyung is an audio ranker!

― You're worse, lol

Chat filled with teasing as Lee Gyeongbok hit the ground first and dashed to nearby buildings.

NewtonLord and Eclipse didn't manage perfect landings, but they rolled and pulled off safe landings all the same.

"How is that even possible?"

Soon after, Lee Gyeongbok emerged from a building and tossed a pistol to NewtonLord, a machete to Eclipse, and another pistol to freshly landed Genome.

"H-hey!"

Genome fumbled the pistol like he was juggling, but finally caught it.

― Hyung? You suddenly became the clown?

― Is it hard to even play your role now? Is that it?

― This is hilarious from the very start, lol

― Looting speed OP, is this for real?

― Do they have some kind of map hack, lol

― That's Perfect-Farming...!

― Lol, doesn't everyone know GunG is a luck-based game?

As chat marveled at Lee Gyeongbok's scouting speed, newtonLord and Lee Gyeongbok raised their guns.

Before Genome could recover, the two squeezed their triggers.

[PerfectPlay 》P1911》 Shade (HEAD SHOT!)]

[NewtonLord 》B92F》 NodesBak (HEAD SHOT!)]

Two kill messages flashed up.

Genome's eyes went wide, and so did the viewers'.

-?????

― Already a kill?

― Insane, that's unbelievable, lol

― Fully loaded from the get-go!

― Knew I should have rented out the bathroom in advance

― What does 'renting a bathroom' even mean, lol

― Godple is being Godple, but even NewtonLord?

― NewNunna's skills are crazy, lol

― Lol, like master, like student!

As two players died, the enemy teams hurriedly scattered in alarm. Lee Gyeongbok flashed NewtonLord a grin and turned his gaze to Genome.

"Can you trust us now?"

"Uh, well..."

Genome's pupils trembled.

His heart was shaking, too, but he shook his head.

"Still, if we get surrounded, there's no way out. We need to loot and escape while we have the chance."

Rational judgment had to come first.

Lee Gyeongbok tilted his head at him.

"Then we just need to make sure we don't get surrounded, right?"

"Sir Purple, do you have some brilliant plan?"

Genome and the others all looked at him curiously. Lee Gyeongbok nodded lightly.

"If we don't want to be surrounded, we should split up too. How about we go for isolated annihilation?"

― Eh?

― What?

― Lolololol Isolated annihilation

― King-isolated-annihilation, what is this!

― Insane decision

― Nah;;; even if you cut two, there's still 30 left?

Viewers were dumbfounded. So was Genome.

But.

'Wait...this might actually work?'

His mind began working furiously.

Normally, he'd never have accepted such a plan, but the situation was unique.

'At a time when our gear isn't complete, pure physical ability matters most. And our team's physicals are just insane.'

Once everyone's armed, this is practically suicide. But with the enemy scattered by the two shots, it's chaos now.

"This is a crazy idea."

Genome replied.

But then he grinned and added,

"Let's do it right away."

-?

― They really accepted this?

― No way, an unthinkable tactic!

― This is a squad match!

― Crazy teammates and crazy play

― They're really going for king annihilation?

― This is instant Q-tube highlight material, lol

Viewers were in shock.

"Alright. I'll take this side."

"I'll handle this one; just need to wipe everyone out, right?"

"At last, all my training will pay off!"

Surprisingly, none of the members objected. And just like that, team PerG-Day split up in four directions.

― Nah, man, having to split the cams again, lol

― Anyone not on Godple's cam is a fool!

― I'm going to NewNunna's cam!

― Eclipse, is it okay for him to go solo?

― Eclipse only has a machete right now!

― Is he really going to get kills with a machete?

― Genome showing off his skills for the first time in a while?

― What the heck am I supposed to watch?!

― If only I were Octa-Core like Godple ㅠ

Viewers couldn't contain their excitement as the crazy plan became reality.

― If Purple's in the party, unprecedented play always happens lol

― Is this a sweet hidden camera prank by GGG?

― Is this a squad match? The squads I know aren't like this...?

― Lol, now this is a real event

This match wasn't going to follow anyone's usual expectations.
