139 – Because It Is the Escaped Jangsan Tiger

139 – Because It Is the Escaped Jangsan Tiger

Cheon Do-hee, who had been enjoying the broadcast, received a message from Majiya without even having time to be flustered by her sudden desertion.

[Jia Manager: Boss]

[Jia Manager: If the kids ask, could you tell them I left the game because I’m really busy with work?]

Cheon Do-hee knew that even if she used herself as an excuse, she wouldn’t cause any problems anyway.

But just in case, it was right to act like a Boss, even if only formally.

[Me: What are you trying to do?]

[Jia Manager: I installed another mode, just in case]

[Jia Manager: I’ll use it to confuse the kids a bit]

[Jia Manager: Not for long, just until it resets once and goes back to the starting village]

[Jia Manager: I think now is the perfect time, when the kids think the game is too easy]

Majiya was talking about an additional mode that hadn’t been reported in advance.

However, Cheon Do-hee didn’t feel any embarrassment or betrayal at all.

What flustered her was something completely different.

‘She really wasn’t doing anything…?’

Cheon Do-hee also knew about the existence of the Doppelganger monster.

She had expected that Majiya would imitate the monster and confuse the members without having to be told.

The reason she said there was no problem with game balancing through the mode was because Majiya basically knew how to cause chaos.

No wonder.

Contrary to expectations, the gameplay was going too smoothly.

[Me: Go ahead]

[Me: I thought you were already doing something]

[Jia Manager: I thought I’d be grilled even if I didn’t play any tricks]

[Jia Manager: The kids are better at the game than I expected]

[Jia Manager: And I didn’t want to play tricks openly]

[Jia Manager: I don’t want to attract aggro to myself for no reason]

However, she could understand why Majiya had been holding back until now.

During the Wicker Town event, it was an important role designated by the server itself.

If she did a half-assed job, she would obviously be criticized, so she was sincere.

In this Black Warning collaboration, there was no need to go that far, so she was playing it safe.

It was her own scheme to make the spotlight shine on the members.

[Jia Manager: Anyway, that’s why I’m telling you, Boss]

[Jia Manager: So I can use the excuse that I’m busy with work and not know anything]

[Me: But won’t they find out because your broadcast is on?]

[Jia Manager: I have a way]

It seemed she was even thoroughly prepared.

[Me: Well, in that case, go ahead]

[Me: Everyone in the world knows you’re busy these days]

[Me: But it’s a bit much to use me as an excuse too much, twice should be fine]

[Jia Manager: Okay]

After sending Jia off like that, Dohee subtly checked Dora’s chat.

— Ah, it’s too easy

— I didn’t know the damage buff for cowards was this good?

— Might be different when we go to mid-tier or high-tier

— Please some unfairness please some sudden death please

— If we go to high-tier easily like this, it’ll be no fun

Certainly.

It wasn’t just Dohee who felt that way, everyone did.

The game was quite smooth right now.

There couldn’t be a better time than now for Majiya to be deployed.

That way, there would be appropriate ups and downs, the members would suffer more than they do now, and they could pay for the karma of boasting that the ‘game is easy’ until just now.

…However, there was a high probability that the ups and downs would be quite large.

It would be many times more vicious than what she had endured so far.

But that was also because the members hadn’t been tormented by Majiya enough yet.

They should slowly realize that provoking an evil person who is being quiet is suicidal.

“Good luck, guys….”

* * *

The second week proceeded with Majiya absent.

Having spent two out of three workdays, the members were on the verge of purchasing the license needed to go to the mid-tier planet.

Fortunately, difficult monsters hardly appeared, so everyone was happy.

“Weren’t we more talented at this game than we thought?”

“The moment you said that, I suddenly felt uneasy.”

“Why? It’s true. Dora unnie suddenly became a god and is tearing up all the monsters.”

“Hehe. Is that so~?”

“Yes. Very impactful charge. Dora’s greatest achievement in life.”

“It’s sad that that’s my greatest achievement….”

Moreover, everyone had a great sense of pride in the fact that they were playing the horror game decently even without Jia.

If Majiya had been there?

It’s because I’m being your porter.

It wouldn’t have been easy if it was just you guys.

The 0 won relay would have continued and you would have been kicked out of the company.

You cowards.

…That’s all she would have said.

Look, haven’t we proven it?

The members were fully qualified to go to the mid-tier planet, each doing their part without the porter Majiya!

[Komari: Jia unnie seems like it’ll take a bit longer]

[Komari: Go as is?

[Dora: If we stop in the middle, the flow will be bad, let’s keep going]

[Maru: Yes, right, let’s go as is for now]

Thus, the members, who exchanged their opinions through Talk Code, were on their last journey to obtain the mid-tier planet landing and takeoff license.

They immediately entered the third day of the second week.

And so, the randomly determined planet was?

[ Planet: NWE-554 ]

[ ※90% of the year is night here, and many creatures sensitive to sound live here ]

— Heok

— That one’s coming ㅋㅋ

— Wow, I was wondering when this planet would appear

— Never farm late ㅋㅋ

— Mom doesn’t know!

— ㅋㅋㅋ~

Dora was puzzled by the way people were enthusiastic as soon as they saw the planet’s name and characteristics.

“What is it… what’s here? Why do the Hatchlings like it so much…?”— Ahem hehe

— It’s nothing haha

— Alright, hurry up, hurry up

“This is suspicious. Let’s be careful, guys. There must be something here.”

“Okay, roger.”

“Nice briefing, Dora unnie.”

Was it because the members moved organically with tension?

Even though they searched the ruins until the sun went down, the special thing that the viewers had said meaningfully didn’t happen.

The members even found a fan character doll for the first time on this planet.

They were able to obtain a mid-tier planet license and also purchase weapons and taser guns to prepare for the new planet.

Dora, who had gained confidence while diligently swinging her shovel and beating monsters, said.

“What is it. It wasn’t a big deal. Were you trying to scare me? You Hatchlings are always making a fuss.”

Rain became overly confident and even started running around recklessly in the dark indoors.

The lower-tier planet monsters weren’t that fast, and they chased at a speed that allowed them to run away, so there was almost no chance of dying if they ran around like Rain.

“Kihit, everyone chill. Nothing special!”

However, the reaction in the chat window was not much different from before.

— You’re gonna get a taste of Chill-i sauce~

— You’ll go miChill if you get hit ㅋㅋ

— Chill my ass, you’ll probably shotgun Chill right away ㅋㅋ

— You’re gonna get so Chill if you keep acting like that~

Rain got angry when she saw that.

“Hey, hey, hey. Enough, you puddles. Are we that stupid? If it hasn’t come out yet, doesn’t that mean there’s nothing? Jia isn’t here either, nothing’s wrong. We’re going to the mid-tier planet!”

At the same time, the in-game time passed exactly 6 PM.

At that moment, a strange sound suddenly came from somewhere.

[Kkiaaaaaaa——.]

It was a metallic sound like a giant dinosaur roaring.

Anyone could tell that a monster had appeared.

— ㅋㅋㅋ

— It’s here

— I told you not to farm late!

— Goodbye

— Did you have fun until now?

— Let’s go to the starting village~

Rain, who was still confident, boasted.

“No. What’s the big deal? Tell me the reason, you puddles I want to kill.”

— You’ll know when you get hit~

— I’m never gonna tell you ㅋㅋ

— 10-hit combo!!!!!! Don’t you know! Don’t you know! If you don’t know, you should get hit!!!!!

— It’s okay, noona, just charge, it’s really okay

— Hey you’re doing great, keep going

— Chill bro

The mischievous fans didn’t want to tell them the answer.

However, with rumors spreading that this might be Majiya’s last broadcast, and with so many floating viewers flocking to watch, about 100,000 people were watching across five channels today.

It would have been strange if someone addicted to explaining, who was willing to risk a ban or hadn’t read the rules, didn’t appear.

:: An anonymous donor has donated 10,000 Clouds! ::

:: It’s a cursed wolfdog, and it’s really big, be careful because it follows the sound ::

— Ah

— Aish

— You ban

— Ah, you have no tact

The person who explained was immediately banned, but Rain received the explanation.

“Babies! Don’t make noise! There’s a monster that follows the sound!”

“Really?!”

“Shh, shh! This is dangerous too…!”

“…Eup eup!”

The four members, who had been carrying scrap metal out of the ruins, immediately closed their mouths and slowly headed towards the flat terrain where the spaceship was parked.

As soon as they came out into the open, the members were able to confirm the identity of the monster.

Even though the environment itself was very dark and the vegetation was lush, there was nothing more scary than a huge black shadow stomping around.

Even the footsteps were heavy, as if to show how big it was.

The members’ voices became as small as a mouse’s tail, and they were communicating with each other, but it was hard to hear because it was drowned out by the environmental sounds of the planet.

“…!”

“!!”

“! ! …!”

“……! ?!”— Still don’t know

— Seriously, don’t know until you leave

— Please, doggy, hear the sound

The funny thing was, unlike the donation advice that was kicked out for being so tactless.”

The wolfdog in the game had a very good sense of broadcasting.

The guy strode around and happened to block the path the members were taking to the spaceship.

“…!”

“!!”

The members nodded and gestured to each other to signal that they should go back.

At that moment, when the viewers were praying that they would get caught.

“Heueang!!”

From the very back.

A loud noise was heard from where Dora was.

It was Dora’s scream, which could often be heard in horror games.

Everyone was surprised and turned their heads, but Dora was waving her hands, saying that it wasn’t her.

The moment the three people who turned around looked forward, the wolfdog was already running like crazy.

“Dodge!!”

[Kkiiiiiing!]

The huge body flew and kwaaang!

Dora, who couldn’t dodge, was hit by the wolfdog’s snout and flew into the sky.

“Heueaaaaang………!”

— ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

— I’m flying

— Goodbye ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Dora died.

Maru, who was in the lead, shouted when she saw that.

“Run to the spaceship first!! Hurry!!”

“What the fuck. Dora received an order? Mission? What’s going on all of a sudden!”

“It’s looking this way! Dodge to the side while looking at it!!”

The wolfdog, which had blown Dora away, turned around and started running towards the members who were running away again.

In the meantime, Komari and Rain turned and survived.

Maru, who was terrified, didn’t hear Komari’s story about dodging to the side.

Of course, poong!

“Kkeuaaaak!”

— ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

— ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

— This is it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

— To infinity and beyond!

Maru also flew into the sky and was eliminated.

Two of the four people died in an instant, but the path was cleared because the wolfdog passed by the spaceship.

Rain and Komari, who were scattered to the left and right around the path the wolfdog had passed, nodded and exchanged glances.

“…!”

“!!”

Let’s get on the spaceship as is.

If we get on the spaceship, we can go to the mid-tier planet.

Why? Even if the members lost all the items they had farmed, Komari had a Leaves doll.

One fan character doll is enough to buy a license and still have money left over.

But because the situation was so urgent, there was something the two people hadn’t thought of.

It was Dora’s appearance, who had screamed earlier but was waving her hands because she didn’t know what was going on.

The two people quietly.

They moved very quietly through the dense bushes.

“Guys… me. I’m not dead yet. Take me with you! Don’t abandon me!”

The wolfdog, which had gone beyond the spaceship, growled at Maru’s voice suddenly coming from behind Komari.

“What, Maru unnie is alive?”

“Fuck! No! Maru is already dead! It’s a Jangsan Tiger! Don’t be fooled!”

“This Shiba. Crazy.”

— Crazy, is this a Jangsan Tiger?

— Huh? Didn’t the kids say something like that earlier?

— ????

Keueong!

The wolfdog ran with a thumping sound and barely brushed past Komari, who was moving to the left and right.

“…Tteuaaa.”

Still, the spaceship was not far away now.

If we just go a little further.

If we can just get on board and press the launch button.

If we can just transport the doll.

To the mid-tier planet……!

However, Komari’s earnest wish was not fulfilled.

“It’s too much! Don’t leave me behind! It’s too much! Don’t abandon me! It’s too much! Take me with you! I’m scared! I don’t want to be left here alone! Save me! Save me! Aaaaaaa!! Kkiaaaaaaaak!!”

Because the loud screams suddenly coming from the spaceship caused other wolfdogs hiding among the vegetation to pop out.

Before long, there were three wolfdogs gathered around the spaceship.

It had become a living hell where entry was impossible.

“This… Aish…!”

The spaceship will automatically depart at 0:00 AM.

They had to break through somehow.

However, in front of them, the wolfdog that had gathered at the screams was growling and continuing to ram the spaceship.

“Aaaaak! Kkiaak! Don’t leave me behind! Don’t leave me behind!!”

The first one, which had passed Komari, ran back to the spaceship and joined the ramming game.

It’s impossible to pass through that mess.

If they try to pass through, they’ll be hit and fly into the sky like the other two members.

— ???

— But what is this ㅋㅋㅋ

— I’ve never seen a mode like this before ㅋㅋㅋ

— What is it, Shiba, it’s so scary…

— Waaah, mommy ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

— I need to change my underwear…

— Kkiaaaaaaaaak
