Episode 357
Lloyd let out a deep sigh that seemed to swallow the ground as he looked at the crazed fanatics climbing the stairs, frying pans in hand.
Well.
Even if he hadn’t sighed deeply, the ground was indeed crumbling.
Figuratively speaking, that is.
Their base was being destroyed in real time.
“Shoot! Shoot them!”
“Hmm, this is nice, right? Could we actually use frying pans?”
“Let’s move faster! If we don’t work hard, who knows what’ll happen!”
“Never touch him.”
An advance outpost had appeared right next to their base.
Nearby—no, actually right in front of the outer wall.
Four teams had set up outposts there.
But they couldn’t go destroy them.
Four teams were swarming in.
Each of them holding at least one frying pan.
“Block them! Crazy!”
“Why us! Why!”
“Haha, hahaha. Hahahaha.”
The leader was laughing maniacally.
Right next to him. Almost as if daring them to hear.
The enemies had pushed all the way to just in front of their bedroom.
Now it’s a standoff.
When the enemies wave their frying pans, they parry with their own.
What the hell is this?
Why are they holding those things?
The reason was obvious.
“We can’t destroy those outposts, can we?”
“Yeah.”
Lloyd gave a firm answer to the leader’s hysterical laughter.
There was no room for hopeful talk.
Since the enemies had built outposts right in front of their outer wall, sneaking out through the escape route to destroy them would be quick.
The problem was that the instigator of all this was standing in front of the outpost, waving them over with a “come on” gesture.
“Give up! Hahaha! Just give up! Damn, we have no choice.”
As Lloyd listened to the leader’s hollow laughter, he recalled a famous saying of Last.
It wasn’t an old saying, but it would be quoted for ages to come.
Lloyd muttered it blankly.
To survive in Last, remember two principles.
The first principle: Never, under any circumstances, touch him.
And the second principle.
“Never forget the first principle……”
* * *
- LOL, did Lloyd just say that? LOL
- Two principles to absolutely remember LOL
- It’s absurd, but look
- I’d be baffled too LOL, all the attackers are carrying frying pans
- Looks like they’re watching the broadcast at the base too
Seojun heard again from Baek Doyul that the enemies had surrendered, then he stepped from the outpost toward the main enemy base.
“Everyone? Please don’t leave a single trace of the Hunter Team in this world.”
A gentle voice with not-so-gentle content.
The rich guy who brought a rock drill and the “no-chat game” guy got to work.
Once the construction barrier is removed, durability drops, so demolition won’t be hard.
He climbed the stairs inside the main base.
As he ascended, Seojun received greetings from the looters and special forces members clinging to the walls.
They were all clapping.
Clapping in admiration for Seojun.
Maybe they weren’t that into the act and just thought it would be fun to do that.
It was a bit absurd.
- LOL, leader, I feel it sometimes, you really fit a noir vibe
- Why? He’s rarely serious?
- He’s serious when fighting. And he’s just cool
- Because his face is handsome LOL
- Even this is looksism! Dirty world!
Seojun, who never dreamed the viewers were chatting like that, lowered his voice.
He approached Ryan, who was standing right in front of the enemy bedroom door, and whispered in his ear.
“Not attacking? Even now?”
A provocation, asking if they can really endure this.
If they killed him here, undefended, it would mean all-out war.
So, are they afraid of that war?
Seojun asked that.
- Kyah!
- Lowering his voice and doing the “Do you want to be the Hunter Team?” line!
- This guy might’ve seen the chat and responded to it?
- LOL, provoking the former mafia boss who reluctantly cooperated this time!
But Ryan was strong.
He just laughed without showing any discomfort.
“Hahaha! Let’s do it next time.”
His flawless response made him a difficult opponent for Seojun.
Seojun just let it go and entered the bedroom.
“We apologize!”
The Hunter Team leader shouted.
Public opinion said he was light but not laughable, though still not to be taken lightly.
“I think Doe was a bit too arrogant.”
Indeed, his attitude now was nowhere near groveling.
It was bold.
“Who did Doe?”
Seojun had no intention of doing anything else as long as they told him that.
He’d just target that person.
Now that he’d entered Tier 4, there were many fun features.
Like a list showing who’s online on the server, or a compass that points to one person’s direction.
Yes. How useful would such items be in a raid?
But for those who’ve already played through everything the normal way, items like these are necessary.
“Tell me.”
If they tell him, the Hunter Team will be at peace.
Emotionally, since the youngest, Lloyd, causes trouble, it’s probably Lloyd, but Seojun needed justification.
He is a streamer, after all.
And the Hunter Team leader answered.
“That would be a bit difficult.”
At that moment, Seojun caught the change in Lloyd’s eyes.
So the Doe culprit was indeed Lloyd.
But if they respond like this…
“Are we going all the way?”
“Haha, shouldn’t you also be on guard, Seojun? We held up well, but Slayer…”
“They must be busy repairing. You guys have monopolized Tier 3 all this time.”
More importantly, even if repaired, they don’t have the resources to focus on anything else.
“Hmm… But still, ordinary teams might come!”
“Will they?”
“They might!”
The Hunter Team leader was confident.
Seojun chuckled and nodded.
“Alright. Let’s play it to the end.”
- Ordinary teams, what do you mean they’ll come LOL
- After watching the video of them clearing everything with frying pans in 5 minutes, nobody would dare challenge them
- If the remaining teams, no, except Ha Yunho’s team, all ganged up, could they beat the leader?
- Possible? With frying pans on the table?
- For real LOL
“Alright, let’s tear it all down. And from now on, run away well.”
Unarmed, the Hunter Team members calmly accepted death one by one as Seojun killed them.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
They died on their knees, without resistance.
Whether they respawned somewhere hidden or randomly didn’t matter.
He’d find them all.
Seojun walked out of the bedroom.
“Yunho?”
Seojun had sent the looters and special forces team away, but Ha Yunho’s team stayed.
“Yes?”
“Give me all the resources you got from here.”
“Huh?”
“I have more Tier 4 items to make.”
“….”
“Hurry up.”
“Yep!”
- Yunho… you’re the hyung LOL
- Wow, the leader is such a thug LOL
- Why even do raids?
- Still, he brought two other teams~
* * *
The Hunter Team, having their house already looted, went outside to rest.
They figured entering now or later wouldn’t make a difference.
Seojun made the list-checking item first, saying he knew this would happen, and gave them a break.
They all worked hard, after all.
And after coming out of the capsule, he found out that the community and Travel were buzzing about one topic.
“Ah, are you curious, everyone?”
- Of course we’re curious
- There’s nobody else to explain it, leader
- Nobody steps up, what about Moonchal?
- The worst leader on earth… that’s a stream-ending line, you know?
“Wow, how did you know? I’ll see you in two hours.”
Seojun was genuinely amazed.
There are so many psychic viewers among his chat.
“Precognition is a power I’ve never had. Amazing. TrVa!”
That viewer was relentlessly roasted for the next two hours.
And during that time, Seojun rested, reading community posts and relaxing.
He reached Tier 4.
Now, truly, no one can stop him.
First, he needs to punish the Hunter Team.
And after that?
‘Hmm…’
To win, just fighting well isn’t enough.
They have to show top performance in multiple areas.
How to do that?
Other teams will focus on one field as a team unit.
Is there a way for his team, who’ve mostly fought until now, to catch up?
“Ah.”
He realized.
The way to win.
“I’ll just keep causing chaos. Since I can’t die anyway.”
Have the team work hard, and he’ll keep disrupting.
After all, no one can stop him.
Simple.
And it was funny that people predicted this.
In a slightly different way.
[But now what?]
==
What do we do? The leader is going to cause chaos everywhere.
He’ll probably only go after the Hunter Team today, and from tomorrow, it’ll be an all-out mess.
==
- Just stop the leader, they say
- We’re screwed LOL
- The leader will declare that if someone catches him even once, he’ll stop doing that. Then some guys will act up trying to catch him. Then the leader will toy with them, suddenly blow up their house, and send them back to the stone age.
└Ah LOL, you’ve watched the whole stream
└For real LOL, you’ve seen it all
* * *
Two hours later.
The Moonchal topic still hadn’t died down.
[Why isn’t he coming out?]
[Can’t he just explain? That’s all we wanted originally?]
[For real, the tiny minority suspects impossible hacks, just explain!]
And two more hours passed since Seojun re-entered the game and started hunting the Hunter Team.
[Hunter Team is so pitiful LOL]
[Geom Seo-un story: There’s a streamer who suddenly ended his stream today, maybe afraid he’d be asked about Moonchal.]
[The frying pan is invincible, and the sword god is a god!]
The Hunter Team, paying for their karma, repeated a daily routine of gathering resources and getting them stolen when they met Seojun, enduring today only.
Seojun’s team repaired the base.
And finally, the Last game operations manager was pondering what to do.
“Is it okay to just upload this edited play footage? I wish that streamer would just explain it. It’s good streaming content!”
From the operations side, granting any request could become a precedent for similar requests, so sticking to what they’ve always done was best.
But now, frustrated viewers were copying and pasting about wanting to see the so-called Moonchal in large numbers.
They couldn’t ignore it.
The best solution would be for the actual player to recreate it.
And then, at that moment.
“Nice!”
[Sigh. I’ll show you. Since you’re probably still talking about it.]
Seojun, having found the Hunter Team again, started content.
The operations manager smiled brightly, watching the stream.
Honestly, he was curious too. He wanted to hear a proper explanation.
And then.
Seojun used a smoke grenade.
In the screen where nothing was visible right in front of his nose, Seojun moved busily.
Then the smoke cleared, and the screen showed four corpses.
[This is how you do it! I’ve shown you, so don’t ask anymore.]
- LOL, this crazy bastard is the worst for real
- The streamer is so unfriendly!
- So what can you viewers even do about it
- Riot
- Yeah, chat isn’t visible to the leader~ So frustrating?
The public sentiment exploded.
Actually, public sentiment exploding like this in Seojun’s room is a common occurrence.
Because the streamer provokes people.
But if someone who’s never watched Seojun’s stream sees this massive wave of chat…
“I… I should upload it, right?”
The operations manager began to hastily write a notice on the official site.
And finally, the edited footage was released to the world.
- Whoa wait
- Crazy LOL, when the smoke disappears, really… wow…
- Alright now, stop the stream and come do Moonchal
