Genius’s Godlike Game Broadcast

Chapter 51 : Purge Day (2)

Purge Day (2)

Genome nodded as he looked at Lee Gyeongbok.

'As expected, he really is a genius.'

He had felt it from their first meeting, but this assertive attitude and confidence weren't just some act or persona.

'Today's broadcast, as long as I keep my head clear, we'll be fine.'

There had been some anxiety when he found out about the stream snipers. If it were just him, he could simply curse and move on, but with a guest, the pressure was doubled.

But now, it was different.

The guest he'd invited wasn't the type to be rattled by simple stream snipers.

Wearing a satisfied expression, he spoke up.

"Ah, as expected of Godple. Is this some sort of blessing from above? No, my mind just feels so at ease, seriously."

― What the hell, give me a blessing too!

― Hyung? Are you going to enjoy this by yourself?

― Ah, lol, whatever, just get on with the nav already!

― Is this what it feels like to have Godple on your team? Even sturdier than a big bowl of gukbap, lol

― If you compare it to gukbap, how many bowls is that even, lolol

Genome chuckled lightly, once again reminding himself of his role.

"All right, cutting to the chase, I'll start the navigation. Purple, there are two core spots for Koonas farming. The Ruins and the Training Center. The Ruins is a giant temple in a narrow maze, and the Training Center is basically like military base on Leangel, if you think about it."

He rattled off the explanation like a machine gun, but his pronunciation didn't falter even once. Thanks to that, Lee Gyeongbok immediately understood the idea.

"Since it's my first time, I'd like to try somewhere unique. Let's go to the Ruins."

"Okay! Sounds good. Since it's your first time, I'll choose when we drop."

― Ah, lol, top-tier navigation

― Genome's navigation is always on point

― Check out that crisp explanation, lolol

― Wow! This is the level you need to serve a god

― Starting today, I'm going to practice the soy sauce factory tongue-twister

― Why's the factory manager even mentioned here, lolol

― Lol, the giraffe-drawing tongue-twister is better

― Is he training to be a news anchor or what!

While viewers tapped away excitedly in the chat window, other players began their jump.

Out of everyone, Lee Gyeongbok honed in on the sense of the stream snipers.

'There are six of them in total.'

There were six players exuding particularly intense hostility. Two had jumped ahead of the rest, while the other four all jumped together near the Training Center.

'Those four might be teaming.'

It was already a duo game, but there was nothing stopping duos from teaming up with other duos.

Lee Gyeongbok mentally prepared for the possibility of facing all four at once.

"All right! Let's stand up now."

At Genome's words, Lee Gyeongbok stood from his seat. Perhaps because it was one of the core farming locations, about a dozen players stood up together.

"Viva Fuzzy Day!"

Genome shouted joyfully and leapt, with Lee Gyeongbok following right after.

Below the vast open sky, an island with emerald waters and swaying palm trees came into view.

However, there was no time to leisurely admire the scenery.

'Only players confident in their skill come here, huh.'

All the players who started their descent dove vertically towards the ground. The altitude dropped in an instant, bringing them ever closer to the surface.

"Purple?! How long are we going for?!"

"Just a bit more!"

Right at the system's warning threshold, everyone seemed to open their parachutes at once. But Lee Gyeongbok pressed on, with Genome following right after.

"Ah! No more! I'm opening mine now!"

Eventually, genome opened his parachute first. If he had stubbornly followed any further, the plunge might have led to a disastrous death on broadcast.

As a result, the chat window filled up with "lol"s.

― You can see the class divide already, huh?

― Scared? Scared?

― What's with the scaredy-cat!

― But Genome did follow pretty far, lol

― For real, lol; he pulled up before his legs could get snapped like a finch

Lee Gyeongbok opened his parachute a little after, landing perfectly.

"Let's thin out the numbers before we start!"

Following his sixth sense, he immediately picked up a pistol. He quickly loaded it, then aimed his muzzle at another player descending behind Genome.

With ensuing gunshots, two players dropped like puppets whose strings were cut.

[PerfectPlay 》G18C》 MajangdongGunner (HEAD SHOT!)]

[PerfectPlay 》G18C》 MajangdongBlademaster (HEAD SHOT!)]

The other players, startled by the gunfire, swiftly changed direction. In the meantime, genome landed safely.

"No way, already?!"

― Kingly godly aim?!

― Majangdong Gunner really has no luck, lol

― Insane, lolol

― He landed a headshot from that distance with a pistol?

― Ah, lol, if you can cut parachute cords, headshots are nothing

― He's going easy just because he's next to Genome, right?

― You can really tell Genome's the sidekick when Lee seriouses up, lol

Amused by the chat window's reactions, Lee Gyeongbok chuckled.

"This gives us a bit more time to loot. Let's move."

"Man, this is the definition of a zero-to-hero carry. The progression is so slick!"

Genome laughed and moved quickly. The two headed straight to the temple in the center.

'Rather than going for the very best, get what's decent and nearby first.'

Drawing on his experience from past subscription events, Lee Gyeongbok guided Genome using his sixth sense.

"Ooh, finding an AK right away! And next to it... it's a double-barrel."

Genome grinned on seeing the assault rifle, but wrinkled his nose at the shotgun beside it.

Elsewhere in the corner were bandages, a grenade, and an ammo box.

"I'll take the double-barrel. Purple, you take the AK."

― That quick thinking, what the heck?

― So all the actual fights are left to Godple, in other words

― That hand-off was so natural, lol

― But that's real, lol

― True, it's hard to get kills with a double-barrel

― Ah, lol, why would the navigator take the AK anyway!

Viewers were delighted at Genome's decision to pass the rifle.

At that moment—

['Agent Q' proposes a quest.]

[Condition – 50,000 won per shotgun kill this match]

At the sudden quest offer, Lee Gyeongbok broke into a wide smile.

"Wow, qdari! It's been a while!"

"Huh? Qdari?"

Genome's eyes widened, and the chat window instantly began to scroll.

― Lololol, qdari's alive!?

― All this with snipers around? And you're offering that quest?

― Wow, still as ruthless as ever, lol

― Best to just decline, yeah

― Is Qdari actually one of the sniper crew?

― Kingly, godly intuition!

Spotting the chat window getting rowdy, Lee Gyeongbok spoke quickly.

"I accept the quest. I was just about to take the shotgun anyway."

"Huh?"

Genome's confusion was echoed by a flood of question marks in the chat window.

'I can sense the stream snipers' threats ahead of time, but Genome can't.'

If Genome took the shotgun with snipers around, long-range response would be too difficult.

But he couldn't explain the real reason. So Lee Gyeongbok simply answered,

"I can get plenty of kills with a shotgun."

"Ah..."

― Ah...

― Lol, look at Genome's face

― Status ailment (deceit)

― PerfectPlay 》DeceptiveBreath》 GENOME

― What's with the teamkill through deception, lol

― Got hit head-on by DeceptiveBreath, lolol

― He even deceives his own teammate, what is he!?

Lee Gyeongbok picked up the shotgun and loaded it. That snapped Genome back to his senses, and he grabbed the assault rifle.

"You're really going with the double-barrel? It only has two shots, you know?"

Lee Gyeongbok's shotgun was a double-barrel, meaning he could only fire up to two rounds at a time.

"Then it's perfect for taking out duos."

-???: Going to wipe a duo every reload.

― The confidence to never miss...!

― Ah, lol, and the scary thing is, it's actually believable

― For real, if it's Godple, that's kill after kill, shot after shot

― Genome's already written out of the script, lolol

― Every word is just [Per][fect][Play], damn

Genome was unsure if this was really all right, but seeing Lee Gyeongbok's firm expression, closed his mouth.

"Looks like a team is approaching."

"... What?"

Genome instinctively repeated, as Lee Gyeongbok whispered.

'I didn't hear anything.'

Genome listened carefully.

Sound play was basic to locating enemies, but to him, there was no evidence to suggest anyone was approaching.

A moment later, belated footsteps reached his ears.

"Whoa."

A chill shot up Genome's spine. How did he know?

"Let's take the initiative."

With those words, Lee Gyeongbok burst from the room. Flustered, genome hurried after him.

'Isn't he being way too loud!?'

Typically, lying low and ambushing was the textbook approach. But Lee Gyeongbok charged in noisily.

Getting spotted by the enemy was inevitable at this rate.

Genome stuck his head out the door and immediately ran into the opposition.

"Yelp!"

Confronted with muzzles pointing his way, genome gasped. But the enemy didn't get to pull the trigger.

With a deafening bang, one of them crumpled.

"What the...?!"

The last one jerked his head up in panic, as did Genome.

Up above, gripping a stone wall, Lee Gyeongbok had already leveled his shotgun. The muzzle flashed again, and the remaining opponent fell as well.

With no armor, taking a shotgun blast up close meant there was no hope of survival.

"Hmm, definitely a strain shooting one-handed."

Landing-nimbly, Lee Gyeongbok skillfully cracked open the barrels. With a satisfying clack, the spent shell bounced out.

― Wow, lol, that was over in a flash

― So damn cool, omg, lol

― Shooting a double-barrel one-handed? What kind of arm strength...

― Getting kills like he's just out for a stroll, lol

― Ah, lol, now that's a real man

― Real ma... what, lol?

― That's nuts, lol, enough with the catchphrases!

― Now the purge! Will! Be! Gin, lol

― Wow, the caster stepping in, lol

Lee Gyeongbok's relaxed manner set the chat window ablaze. Genome, amused and a bit dazed, gave him a thumbs-up.

"Wow, guys. This bus ride is amazing."

Lee Gyeongbok smiled at Genome's comment, then suddenly asked, almost like he just remembered,

"Oh, does this mean that's 100,000 won earned? Thank you for the always-fun quests, qdari!"

― Lolol, what a roast

― Qdari just got farmed, lol

― Ah, lol, why didn't you hop on the Purple Coin train

― Tsk tsk, that's what happens when you bet against Purple

― Not just a loss, this is a total slaughter, lol

-???: How about calling it a draw?

-???: The price crashed, can I get a refund?

-???: My money is being deleted!

― Don't challenge Qdari, did you ever give a quest to Purple even once?

― Is the viewer a poet, lol

― Ah, don't you know? The real viewer goes all-in when it counts.

At Lee Gyeongbok's words, the viewers dived into the chat window.

[Prize – 100,000 won]

Qdari simply silently added the reward to the tally.

Lee Gyeongbok and Genome looted the fallen players for needed items.

Outside, the sound of gunshots could be heard starting up.

"Ah, looks like the fighting's begun."

"Yeah, seems everyone's finished looting now. From now on, we have to be careful—Purple?"

"Looting's done, right? Let's go!"

"Huh?"

"My money's getting deleted here...!"

With Lee Gyeongbok jokingly hurrying him, the chat window burst into laughter.

― This is bad...!

― Purple has awakened to the power of capitalism!

― The second IWonderIfThisGuyIsSerious incident!

― What's IWonderIfThisGuyIsSerious?

― Short for 'IWonderIfThisGuyIsSerious', lol

― For real, that was the first kill-quest by a viewer on Godple

― Now it's not just 10k, it's a 50k one!

― Ah! Too scary!

― But it's Fuzzy Day, so it's fine ^_^

― True, lol, everything goes today

Money is always the best motivator.
