Season 2: Chapter 239: Demon King Kim Yi-Seo (3)

The fierce duel with Choi Best Seo-Yeon, the Plum Sword Goddess, finally ended.

[Did he just win??]

[Wow f*ck, what's with the accuracy of those kicks?? Is he a machine??]

[I really thought he was going to lose when the plum blossoms bloomed, but he won in the end. Shudders]

[He’s getting better]

As intense as the battle was, it was the first time Almond’s skills had been so prominently showcased. Praises poured out in the JetPumped garden.

[Is that really a beginner???]

[His existence is a bug, a bug!]

[Even considering that the developers are not familiar with basic jets, he would rank]

Having completed the tutorial just today, there was talk that he could rank.

— The rankings are an exaggeration. Adaptability to jets is most important in JetPumped. He’s only played the taekwondo jet so far.

└ For real, plus it’s unlikely an opponent will come out with just basic jets lol

└ Basic battle ranking seems possible lol

└ It would be different if he equipped another jet, haven’t you seen his Flashy Blade video?

└ You guys talk after watching the Almond Raina video?

└ fuck, ever heard of the high tier Raina?

└ for real lol

Whether Almond could actually rank or not didn’t really matter. Wasn’t he just starting out in JetPumped? The fact that such a discussion was happening was in itself absurd and significant.

— Dumbasses, if a guy starting today can do this much, fuck he’d sweep first place in a month

└ for real lol

└ That’s what I'm saying lol kids can’t catch the drift

└ But sometimes it’s like that, not a genius but a prodigy because the mind grows fast

└ Bullshit, Almond has a tiny brain, what?

└ ???

└ lol lol lol

If Almond ever does play rank battles later, could he become number one? Such topics definitely made for interesting conversation. However, the main point of interest in the JetPumped garden was this.

[Finally, that person is coming out...]

[Let's gooooo!]

[Everyone... give me your strength!]

Finally, Kim Yi-Seo appeared. There was a chance that the last boss would never even be seen. Now, they would earn the right to balance things out just by defeating this guy.

However, Kim Yi-Seo made an unusual offer as soon as he appeared. He suggested a full-force battle to Almond instead of just a basic battle. He wanted to fight with fully pumped jets. Of course, Kim Yi-Seo would choose a jet that could only be used without in-game purchases.

While this matched the original spirit of the challenge, players had too much distrust and were not pleased.

[What the hell is this guy talking about???]

[Don’t fall for the devil’s trick, knight...]

[lol yeah right, as if he would]

[He’s giving ten million won??]

Almond then asked, “Do I still get the ten million cash if I refuse?”

***

Kim Yi-Seo doubted his ears for a moment.

“Do I still get the ten million cash if I refuse?”

The question echoed in his head.

— lol lol just give it lol

— The academic consensus is that the nut in nutcase actually stands for the character dog~

— Crazy bastard lol

Almond had asked if he would still give him the ten million cash meant for pumping the jet.

‘What is he saying?’

Although Kim Yi-Seo hadn’t stated the conditions directly, it was obviously meant to be conditional. Wasn’t it clear that the ten million was offered with the intent of fighting fully equipped?

— lol lol overwhelmed by nutcase rhetoric lol

— Tsk tsk, Kim Yi-Seo, is this your first time? Get used to it

— See newbie Kim Yi-Seo panic lol

— Wow, is this “Alone, I’m a Newbie” or what?

— Eek lol

Although Kim Yi-Seo felt uncomfortable saying it himself, he replied back since Almond asked.

"Ahem... No, I can’t just give it away."

"Ah..."

“Boooo.”

The audience jeered as if they had been waiting and gave him a thumbs down.

"Boooo! That's cowardly!"

"What happened to giving it because you were impressed that he just completed the tutorial today!?"

"Drop dead, Kim Yi-Seo!"

"Acting like a magnanimous person!"

Yes, he had tried to act generous. However, after being caught by Almond’s words, he risked being swindled out of ten million won. Therefore, Kim Yi-Seo decided to back out of it.

Despite the strong disapproval, Kim Yi-Seo shamelessly shook his head.

"Oh well. Guess I can't do that."

He couldn’t just give away ten million won. It wasn't about the money. It was because he wanted to compete against Almond with fully pumped jets.

— Really caught him with the provocation lol

— Overpowered combo lol

Since today was his first time playing JetPumped, he didn’t know how to pump up properly. Anyway, it was just a matter of doing as he was told. There was no difference between doing it well or poorly.

Almond wanted to defeat Kim Yi-Seo in a fully pumped battle, so he solicited recommendations for the most overpowered combination.

Babam.

[RubySword has donated 10,000 won.]

[Don't just take any recommendations, ask for IDs and take those!]

RubySword advised him.

Indeed, plenty of recommendations came in from players who weren’t very good themselves.

"Ah. Thank you, Ruby. That's a good idea. Please write your ID in the chat and I'll choose from them."

— Search for MarvelApple <<<<

— I am a bug <<< Search I am a real pro lol

— Ryu Soo-am Breaker <<< I will design it for you right away

— Jopsal Dog! <<< Do a search

Numerous messages appeared, but among them was a person with the highest ranking.

[JetPumpPro has donated 10,000 won.]

[I know this one! Search SolidRock, go go]

"Wow..."

It was impossible to look up every ID that came up in the chat.

[Rank 3]

[SolidRock]

This ID appeared as rank three. It seemed unlikely that anyone higher would come forward.

"I'm ranked third. Let me invite you for a moment to design how we'll pump up."

***

As with most virtual reality games these days, JetPumped also had a space where users could communicate with each other. In this space, they could just talk or practice with other players. This place was called Jettersville.

[Welcome to Jettersville!]

Jettersville was depicted as a city shining with dazzling neon lights. True to the town of Jetters, it looked cartoonish rather than realistic.

[Inviting...]

Almond waited for SolidRock after inviting him.

Swoosh.

[SolidRock]

Today's guest appeared.

— What kind of look is that? lol

— Really living up to his nickname lol

— Lol

— What’s with that skin? lol

JetPumped, unlike other games, allowed users to create their own skins. Thanks to this, all sorts of bizarre skins were rampant. Players often used characters from their favorite cartoons as skins and even made skins with the faces of former presidents. It was a game where one could potentially duke it out with Donald Trump if they were lucky.

"Wow..."

SolidRock popped up with an equally unique skin. It was a replica of the Solid Rock character from the military recruitment office with an enormous head and an overly cheerful expression that encouraged enlistment.

Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom~! Bamparabampbam~ Bamparabampbam~~~ Bamparabamp~~~~!

He greeted everyone while playing a reveille.

"The nation needs you! Enlist! Sons of Korea!"

— ???

— Fuck lol

— Get out of here, dude

— Shivering

— Crazy lol lol

He bowed with his big head.

"I was just about to say that! Hello! I’m SolidRock!"

— Almond’s expression changed immediately lol

— No way lol

— Judging by the drifting skills, isn’t he a pro Kart Rider?

"Ah. Yes."

"As you see, I'm ranked third! I have considerable expertise in designing pumping combinations! Do you have any particular style in mind?"

"I am..."

Almond pondered for a moment. Still, what could he do best?

"I’d prefer something related to archery."

— Wow

— Archery lol

— How badly do you plan to beat Kim Yi-Seo?

— Lol

— No mercy lol

Yenmazing's Thoughts

For those of you who don't play League of Legends, the best player of all time, Faker, had the nickname "Unkillable Demon King." I think that's what the nickname is an homage to.
