Chapter 155: Chapter 155 – Tier Revealed!

After shopping, Max took a nap and woke up at 7 to stream again. His goal was 3 matches tonight to finish his matchmaking.

Because he would have 2 days less than his plan to get to Tier 2, he needed to work harder or win every game from now on. It would be good if he was Tier 3 right from the start, but that might be hard. No one started at Tier 3 right after they finished their placement matches. At least no first-timer did.

[Livestream Starts!]

As soon as he started the stream, the viewers who were waiting for him to return immediately typed in the chat.

— Oooh, he returned!

— Finally! He's an hour late from usual. I thought he wouldn't stream today

— Breeze, are you okay? Is the problem solved yet?

— Glad to see you

— Are you okay?

[CreamySugar has donated 200 diamonds!]

[Glad to see you stream again. Twice a day, a blessing!]

[LovelyOtter has donated 500 diamonds!]

[I am so worried about the last word you said before ending the stream. Is everything fine?]

"Yo, guys! I am back! Thanks for the donation, CreamySugar and LovelyOtter. Yeah, I am fine. Someone from Biozone just contacted me to have a meeting. There is no trouble whatsoever as we only talk about something briefly."

Calming the chat down was pretty easy as he showed his smile. There were various questions as to why he suddenly logged out, but he didn't talk about it and only smirked.

"You will know soon." He said. "Anyway, let's get into the game. I will play 3 times this time and get to know my Tier. Playing as a police is fine, but I want to be thieves again."

— You being a police officer is cheating!

— lololol, the police are faster than the thieves. "I AM SPEED!!!"

— A petition to ban Breeze from being a police officer. Reason: he didn't say "STOP!" and just showed up like a ghost

— No one will want you to play the police anymore after the last game lmao

— Go go, I am curious what Tier you get

"I will get Tier 2 immediately." He grinned smugly and started the matchmaking.

He found the match easily, and the map was the museum. This time, his role was as a thief, just like he hoped to.

Fortunately, no one looked down on him at the game, and they could escape easily from the police, who apparently had a troll between them. The eighth placement match went easier than he thought, but it wasn't as fun as the other seven.

The ninth placement match was better. The map was a bigger beach house, and he became a police officer this time.

"Hello!"

"Hehe, let's play together!"

"H-Hello, let's have fun."

"I want to win, let's goo!!"

Two of his teammates were girls. It was rare to see them playing Midnight Heist. The male and female ratio that played this game was around 7:3. Max hadn't yet teamed up with one. Though it seemed like his enemy from previous rounds had two girls with them.

Saying so, he jumped over the stairs and went to the first floor. It seemed like it was his fate to meet a troll when he enjoyed playing a game.

— I think they are the trolls from the previous game

— Unlucky... A troll in a ranked match

— I think they are more like 'annoying players' than trolls.

— That's not important.

— He's running away from them as if they are disgusting lol

— I bet he's gonna get into a drama again. However, it's unimportant because they bother him, and he doesn't do anything but run.

The game continued with the girls trying to get to know Max. He did his best to catch the thieves with his other teammates, who finally understood the situation.

In the end, they lost because the girls didn't play seriously. They reported them, though Max felt bitter for losing his first placement match.

He wanted to curse so badly, but he held himself back. He was a better man, he told himself.

Then, his tenth game arrived. The map was an underground vault, and he became a thief.

There was a girl on his team, but she didn't act flirty like the two from earlier, which was something he appreciated. He found out that he couldn't really handle flirty girls whose sense of private space was butchered from their brains.

Unexpectedly, the teamwork was pretty solid. The girl wore a crow mask, allowing her to use an ability to glide in the air for a few seconds. And because the target was higher, she could easily escape to the getaway boat.

Only two people, Max and the girl, escaped safely as the others sacrificed themselves to stop the police. They appeared on the boat after the successful escape notification appeared.

"Good job, everyone!"

"Great job!"

Max replied to them half-heartedly. He didn't focus on his teammate anymore as he chose to read the message that appeared in front of him.

— What's your Tier?!

— Is it Tier 5? Or Tier 4?

— Could it be... Tier 5?!

— Tell us! Check your profile.

[Escape successful!]

[Target secured.]

[The MVP of this match: BirdieMoon.]

[...]

[680 Dinar has been received.]

There was no notification about his Tier. He was returned to the bar he was in. Upon reading the chat, he realized that he needed to open the menu to know his Tier.

And he did that. Written above the ranked match button was his Tier. It glowed brightly, changing the '?' mark with something else.

When the light was gone, it was written clearly.

[Tier...]
