Chapter 70: Don’t Bet If You’re Not Sure (3)

Lee Chan-hyuk.

He was a pure gaming maniac who loved the series, and he was also an active specialist broadcaster on Mitube.

While he didn’t have a huge number of viewers, he managed to maintain a small, dedicated fanbase and worked hard on his broadcasts.

“The direction has definitely been upgraded compared to the previous game.”

Today, he was out in VR Star with his usual clanmates.

Normally, he would play games at home, but the news of a experience booth made him travel all the way to Busan by KTX.

For Lee Chan-hyuk, the first impression of was exactly as he expected.

The more realistic visuals of the zombies.

Additionally, the variety of guns, which had been somewhat lacking in the previous game.

Since you could now choose your weapon from handguns onward, even military enthusiasts seemed likely to take an interest.

Nodding his head, Lee Chan-hyuk aimed the AK he was holding forward.

“Kyaaaaah!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The sound of zombies wailing echoed.

The sound alone was enough to send chills down his spine.

The post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

Zombies swarming from all directions.

For Chan-hyuk, who had been considered a veteran of , it was nothing new.

“Where could our evil lurk?”

Chan-hyuk was a Mituber, but before that, he was an avid fan of streamer Shia.

When he first heard that Shia would be participating as a special zombie in this game, he clenched his fist and shouted.

If he showed a good performance this time, maybe he could collaborate with Shia later on?

When was released, all the streamers would play it at least once.

If he made a good impression, he might rapidly gain recognition.

Dreaming of a beautiful future, Chan-hyuk smiled broadly.

“Even if they’re special zombies, they’re still zombies… Everyone knows the strategy, right? One person tanks with a melee weapon while the others attack immediately. The system doesn’t seem to have changed much.”

The special mode, where four special zombies and four survivors competed, also existed in the previous game.

The members of Chan-hyuk’s team were people who had even placed second in the tournament.

They were seasoned in dealing with special zombies.

With their well-founded confidence, they were not afraid of Shia’s notorious reputation.

No matter how top-tier Shia’s physical abilities were in South Korea, they were confident, at least in this game.

At least, Chan-hyuk thought so until he encountered Shia.

“Kyaaaaah!”

While they were clearing the episode smoothly, they heard the distinctive high-pitched shriek of a special zombie, the .

“Daechul hyung.”

“Oh, you want me to draw aggro?”

“Shia probably hasn’t played this game much, so if she sees an opening, she’ll come right in. You know how people with just good physical abilities play, right?”

Physical prowess was crucial for special zombies.

They needed to understand the skills each zombie had, and many skills were impossible to control with human senses.

If they relied solely on the superior physical abilities of the special zombies, they would often end up being countered by experienced survivors.

Chan-hyuk quickly scanned his surroundings to locate the .

But the was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, an unexpected wave of zombies began.

“Kuaaaaah!”

“Kieeeeek!”

“This feels off.”

“We can cover this with molotovs….”

Then it happened.

Amidst countless zombies, the appeared and rushed at the teammate guarding the rear in an instant.

Chan-hyuk was startled and fired his gun, but the seemed to have anticipated it and held up their teammate’s body as a shield.

Literally using them as a bullet shield.

The bullets Chan-hyuk fired mercilessly hit the teammate behind, who died almost instantly due to their low health from the ’s attack.

That wasn’t the only problem.

The , undoubtedly controlled by Shia, freely used the special skill and flew around the battlefield.

“…Is this person really new to this game?”

“Did they buff the in this series?”

The team members murmured in amazement at the skilled ’s play.

It wasn’t that the skill had changed.

.

A skill that allowed the to quickly leap at enemies from the air, which also existed in .

However, it was a skill that most veterans couldn’t use freely because of its overwhelming speed.

It was almost as if the speed devoured the user.

But Shia’s was different.

“Wow…”

Even the survivors fighting him couldn’t help but admire the precise and fast movements.

As the name implied, .

Moving more agilely than its prey, methodically severing their breath one by one, was so beautiful to the veterans that it was almost worthy of respect.

Just a moment ago, he was behind them, but suddenly he popped out from the side.

The movement was so agile it disoriented even their sense of direction.

When they reflexively fired their guns, the was no longer there.

How much time had passed?

One by one, the team members fell in a formal rebellion, and Chan-hyuk looked back with a wry smile.

Then, as if waiting, the flew in, knocking Chan-hyuk down and raising its hand high.

“Hello, streamer Shia. I’m Mituber Lee Chan….”

Before Chan-hyuk could finish his sentence, the ’s claws dug into his neck.

“Kyaaaaah!”

As if deeming it not worth listening to.

Chan-hyuk laughed wryly and shook his head.

‘…I’d heard rumors that she had no manners…’

However, soon Shia’s message appeared in the game chat.

-Sry I’m on a real-life mission right now. You’re Mituber Lee Chan-hyuk, right? I’ll contact you later!

6.

Capitalism is truly amazing.

I could make a living broadcasting because of the donations and subscriptions from my precious viewers.

In other words, money is very important for living in this world.

When I was young, I hated money.

After my parents passed away, we were always short of money. So, I wanted to earn as much as I could whenever possible.

-The zombie’s perspective is really scary, lol.

-This is more terrifying than being a survivor.

-What’s that stuff dripping from the zombie’s head? Is that brain matter?

-Ugh.

-Wow… This is the first time anyone’s played from a zombie’s perspective.

I briefly turned on the broadcast during this event match.

I had already informed my viewers in advance.

After this game ended, I planned to explore VR Star and broadcast like Na-young.

Since I would be here at least until 5 PM today, it would be better to broadcast.

Of course, there were many competitors.

Not only Na-young, whose viewers often overlapped with mine, but most of the streamers participating here had also turned on their broadcasts.

But just because there were competitors didn’t mean I could miss the opportunity to make money.

Moreover, today I decided to use a cheat from the beginning.

The first playthrough of the zombie mode, which had never been revealed anywhere before.

At first, I planned to grab attention with it, but once I started playing, it was so much fun.

The skills each zombie had were varied.

Although the skills weren’t numerous, they were distinctive enough to keep it interesting.

-Watching this on the broadcast alone is making me feel dizzy.

-No, seriously, how did you see that? The Hunter flies in the blink of an eye.

-Just don’t blink, lol.

-Damn, this game is clearly for hardcore players.

-The people who participated first are really good at this.

The Mituber Lee Chan-hyuk I met earlier.

Recently, I had watched some of his videos to study this game.

But I never expected to run into him here.

The importance of preparation can’t be emphasized enough.

Thanks to the system not being very different from , I was able to play well according to what I had reviewed.

Now, it’s already the sixth team I’ve faced.

All members of the sixth team were wiped out by my hands, and I recorded a whopping 24 kills.

They said they’d give a 500,000 won incentive per kill.

That’s 12 million won.

You won’t find such a mission anywhere else.

Moreover, they said they’d deposit it directly into my bank account in cash.

There’s nothing to complain about.

While I was smoothly taking down participants and raking in bounties, I checked out the newly participating seventh team of survivors. Three men, one woman.

Something about their silhouettes seemed familiar.

-It’s them.

-Who?

-Shia’s family. Jin, Kan, Sharout, and Na-young have joined.

-They swore to humiliate you. Bad luck…

-Looking forward to the drama?

Just when things were getting dull, they appeared right on time to spice things up.

After checking the chat, I swiftly moved towards the survivors.

Then, I hid quietly between the gaps in the buildings, waiting for the right moment.

This time, I was assigned the special zombie again.

I wanted to try playing as ‘that’ special zombie, but it didn’t come up often, which was a bit disappointing. Still, alone would be enough fun.

I waited patiently for the survivors to approach, and when one appeared at the front, I mercilessly used .

In an instant, I closed the distance between us, and soon I saw who the survivor was.

Na-young.

Those cowardly guys were deliberately using Na-young as a bullet shield.

Perhaps because I was excited to see familiar faces, I acted a bit hastily.

Bang!

Sharout, who had been waiting behind, fired her rifle as if expecting my move.

Unlike the previous participants, Sharout seemed to have anticipated my dodge.

I tried to change direction by using again, but I couldn’t avoid Sharout’s bullets.

[You have died.]

[Respawn time: 10 seconds.]

Wow.

Looking at this, she really has talent.

I let my guard down for just a moment, and here I am, dead.

As my body fell to the ground, Na-young screamed in surprise.

“Damn it! That scared me.”

-Yabalm Beauty ON

-Lol, her reaction is priceless.

-Na-young’s persona is hilarious.

-I could listen to Na-young’s swearing all day.

-But Sharout’s aim is something else, damn.

-Our Western Evil, am I right? Lol

-You’re pushing the boundaries with that joke, lol.

The viewers chuckled at Na-young’s outburst, but I wasn’t particularly amused.

Maybe it was because I was killed by Sharout, but a strange sense of competitiveness started to stir within me.

Due to the limited variety of special zombie skills, the ability to create variables isn’t very diverse.

While I was frowning and waiting for the next respawn, the moment I had been waiting for finally arrived.

[You have become the special zombie ‘Tank’!]

[Deliver indescribable fear to the survivors!]
