Chapter 84: Power Suit Play (1)

Chapter 84: Power Suit Play (1)

Three new videos appeared on Almond's channel the next day at 10 A.M.

[Battle Large EP.4 The 5 Idiot Musketeers]

[Battle Large EP.5 Jensen!]?

[Battle Large EP.6 Yes, Almond Is Using A Power Suit.]?

The news instantly spread on KAF and Battle31 as well as other smaller communities.

Unsurprisingly, Almond became the main topic for many gamers because he had tied with JeonJaPa. This was all thanks to Fantasia's broadcast.

— The guy who tied with JeonJaPa?

— Oh, he also has a YouTube channel??

— It's almost the live premiere!

— Woah, he just started uploading.

— He started only a month ago and already has this many viewers?!

People from different communities gathered. Around 12,000 viewers waited on standby to watch the live premiere. Twelve thousand views weren’t much on YouTube, but 12,000 viewers on standby for a live premiere was quite significant. It felt like waiting in line for a restaurant to open.

His third video,?'Yes, Almond Is Using A Power Suit,' already seemed like it would be popular.

"What the... how did she upload all those videos?" Ju-Hyeok asked when he woke up and checked.

[Premiering in 10 minutes.]

He couldn't believe what he was reading. A headache from drinking last night immobilized him, but Ji-Ah still managed to edit and upload the videos?

"And these are all clips from yesterday's stream?!"

The three uploaded videos came from yesterday's stream, which meant she stayed up all night to edit them.

"Did she do it properly?"

Ju-Hyeok worried that all the drinking lowered the quality of Seo Ji-Ah’s work.

'I should check it out.'?

The videos would premiere in ten minute intervals. The first one would air soon.

[The premiere is starting!]

***

[Battle Large EP.4 The 5 Idiot Musketeers]

The first video showed Almond’s interaction with the five players targeting him. It began with them confronting Almond in the Arsenal.

Fwhip.

A knife flew towards Almond without any warning. Right off the bat, a tense knife fight ensued. The camera zoomed in and out every time someone threw a knife to emphasize the speed.

Afterward, Almond spotted the player on the second floor and climbed up the wall using his knives. It looked like a scene out of a thriller movie.

Almond quickly reached the top.

Pang!

He shattered the glass and threw a knife at the enemy.

Thwack!

Seo Ji-Ah edited the player's expression as if it came out of a comedic horror film.

— 5:08 Damn, what a jackpot!

— 5:09 His expression is priceless!

— 5:08 It's like a budget horror film. lol?

— 5:09 The youngest of the 5 idiots haha

Most of the top comments highlighted that part, but the video hadn’t even reached the climax yet.

— 12:51 His consecutive shooting was badass.?

└ How the hell did he do that?

└ It would be impossible no matter how much I practiced.?

└ Is that even possible?

The top comments also pointed out Almond's crazy ability to shoot the arrows so fast.

Pabababang!?

The video played at normal speed. Then it zoomed in and continued in slow motion to show his technique.

BAM!

The video returned to normal speed and perfectly matched the music’s beat.

Thu-thump!

The five idiots all slowly collapsed together.

'Wow.'

Ju-Hyeok's jaws dropped despite already knowing what would happen. That was how the first video ended.

The second video,?'Jensen,' was a comedic one. Jensen looked like a perverted bully in the power suit. Large text appeared all over the screen every time he shouted something.

“Mom! I want to be Almond!!!”

Almond ran away in fear of Jensen.

— LOL

— Why is Almond so cute?

— Jensen!

— He's insane

— So creepy lol

— Jensen! No one’s mentioned it, but it's so fitting for him.

└ For real. No one’s actually said that to Almond.?

└ Woah, you're right now that I think about it!?

└ Damn!

“Pfft,”?Ju-Hyeok couldn't help but laugh even though he had already seen this.

The second video had been entertaining too. However, the most entertaining one would be the last.

[Premiering for the first time!]

Ju-Hyeok carefully played the final video, which just premiered.

[Battle Large EP.6 Yes, Almond Is Using A Power Suit.]

***

Almond could be seen walking in the empty desert. Poisonous gas filled the area, but he went around without any worries.

[The blue zone is shrinking!]

"It's not too bad. I'll farm a little bit more," he muttered as the blue zone shrunk in the distance.

Farming in the gas would be crazy under normal circumstances.

— Ah, who cares. He has the power suit on, so he can farm all day!

— But he should still be careful after the third time.?

— This is a guaranteed victory for him.

Fortunately, the power suit had a gas mask. It would be detrimental if he stayed for a long time, but he would be fine up to the third phase.

[The blue zone will shrink in 30 seconds!]

He stopped farming after the third warning with his bag full of medical equipment.

"Now let's go sweep them," Almond confidently smirked.

— Let's gooo!

— Gogogo!

— Kill them all!

— Woaaaah!

— Yohohoho!

— Ohhhh man!

"Let's go!"

Tang—?

He lightly flew forward with each step.

Swoosh!

The power suit sounded like a motorcycle driving by.

— Holy shit!

— Look at it from the first person pov. It's insane!

— Wow!

— I wanna use the power suit too...

— It's suddenly a different game.

— Watching him do the ninja run makes you feel like a ninja.

— Ninja run LOL

Tang! Tang!

He ran, drank an energy drink, and continued running. He repeated this several times until he grew accustomed to the speed.

Almond could finally see through the harsh sandstorm.

'Blue zone!'

The blue zone’s silhouette appeared. The transparent blue dome surrounded a specific area. Inside it...

[47/100]

Forty-seven survivors remained.

Shuk.

Almond readied the arrows between his fingers.

Bzzt!

He could feel the static when he passed through the blue zone.

Tudududung!!!

Tadadang! Tang!

Gunshots rang out from everywhere as soon as he entered. He could instantly tell the enemy locations in the area.

'Are they fighting?'

Almond ran toward the gunshots.

"Over there," he muttered to himself and readied his bow.

— Huh? It's too far

— Don't you need at least an 8x scope to shoot that far?

— Is he going to shoot?

— Damn!

— Is it possible because it's a recurve bow?

The recurve bow could shoot further than the compound bow because it depended on the user's strength.

Creak...?

Almond used the power suit’s superhuman strength and pulled the bowstring as far back as he could. He put so much force into it that the power suit began glowing blue.

PAANG!!!

It made a considerably loud noise for a bow.

Swoosh!

The eerie sound of something cutting through the air could be heard. The arrow flew in a near-straight trajectory.

— Damn!

— Oh shit!

— Wow!

— Shit!

— You're insane!!!

Thud!

It perfectly struck a barely visible head in the distance. The opponent didn't have a helmet.

[Almond → NewChest]

[Eliminated!]

[46/100]

The player’s name popped up on the kill log.

***

"Huh!?"

A different player noticed Almond in the middle of firing his gun.

"A power... suit!?"

He spotted Almond wearing a power suit in the distance. Normally, he would run away. However, he noticed that Almond only had a bow.

'Wait... a bow seems doable.'

He could take the power suit for himself if he managed to kill Almond. He would’ve instantly ran if the opponent had a legendary weapon, but he had a good chance against a bow.

Winning first place would be easy once he got the power suit.

He aimed his gun at Almond and had the advantage from this distance.

Click—?

As he slowly focused on the blue figure...

Swoosh!

Almond suddenly disappeared.

"?"

But he had already pulled the trigger.

Tang!

'Damn.'

Shiik!

A snake-like sound could be heard.

'Where is he!?'

An arrow from a completely different angle appeared as the player turned around.

Thud!

It pierced his helmet.

"Kugh!"

His neck bent back from the impact.

'H-How's an arrow this powerful?'

He tried to get back up and ready his gun.

'Another one?'

Another arrow greeted him after he barely got up. Arrows couldn't fly this quickly unless they were simultaneously fired.

Thud!

It pierced his helmet again and his neck bent once more.

"Urk!"

He survived multiple blows thanks to his legendary helmet.

Thud!

But another arrow came.

"Damn!"

His name also popped up in the kill log after that final statement.

[Almond → INeedToFarm]

[Eliminated!]

[45/100]

Three consecutive arrows precisely flew towards his head. He couldn’t properly assess the situation after being struck by the first one. He couldn’t even see the enemy in the distance.

— Crazy Almond! Crazy Almond! Crazy Almond! Crazy Almond!

— Holy moly!

— How did all three hit!?

— You tricked us Almond! This is a bug! You tricked us Almond! This is a bug! You tricked us Almond! This is a bug! n0Velusb.c0m

— D-Damn...

— I pissed my pants! You're responsible!

[Sniper has donated 10,000 won!]

[What... am I supposed to do now?]

[PantiesFactory has donated 5000 won.]

[I need to make more panties!]

[IknewIt has donated 20,000 won!]

[Phew, I watched this on the toilet]

"Thank you for the donations. The power suit is better than I imagined."

Almond had fired more difficult shots than usual. It would've been impossible if not for the power suit.

'This is great in every aspect.'

He could bring out the power suit's full potential with a bow instead of a gun because of his enhanced physical abilities.

[The blue zone is shrinking!]

Another warning appeared and Almond checked the blue zone’s location.

'Is it the plaza?'

As usual, the safe zone appeared far away from him. However, the blue zone wouldn’t affect him as much with the power suit on.

Instead, he instinctively felt that the final stage of this match would take place at the plaza.

'It's over.'

[WannaTry? has donated 20,000 won!]

[Mission: 20 kills starting now.]

Coincidentally, he also received a mission.

[20 kills]

[200,000 won]

Forty-five players remained, which meant he had to kill around half of them. That would be unlikely for the average player.

— Just give it now.

— You're donating 200,000 won!

— You're just throwing away money!

— He's going to do it anyway. What's the point of giving a mission? Haha

— ??? Wow! Thank you for the donation!

— Look at him setting a limit on the kills cuz he's scared. Haha

"Wow! Thanks for the 200,000 won!" Almond repeated the chat's prophecy and continued playing.

He needed to move quickly if he wanted to get 20 kills.
