Chapter 49 – Online Star (8)

Start of Battleland Round 8.

As soon as the character landed outside the military facility, the first thing Dowook did was to find out the location of other parachutes falling nearby.

Coordinates. Map. Falling position.

Since Battleland itself was a famous game that reflected military data in detail, the sense of the UDT shooting instructor quickly adapted to the information.

Four other players were currently flocking to the military facility to pick up items.

Dowook climbed the watchtower ladder, which made it easy to locate the enemies.

“Doctor. Why are you climbing a ladder without even looking for a gun?”

“There is a gun.”

A weapon lying in the iron watchtower by itself. Looking at the bottom of the gun, one could see that it was a sniper rifle called AWP.

“A sniper rifle? Doctor. Beginners don’t use sniper guns in Battleland. Because of the poor efficiency. There’s no other way to survive if you rush and miss. There’s no magnification..”

When he picked it up and equipped it, there was no scope on the gun. It seemed like he had to pick it up somewhere else. However, in order to deal with those who entered this military base, the watchtower was the optimal position.

Kim Suhan sighed as Doowook’s character aimed the rifle down without a scope.

“Sigh. You’re going to do that, but you’re telling me not to advise you.”

-Ddiirrring

-Tto-wook-hyung. Let’s listen to Ssuhan-hyung from now on. A sniper rifle is too much.

“OverNoNo, thanks for the ₩10,000.”

After muttering so, Dowook calmly pulled the trigger toward the opponent who just popped out of the two-story building.

Tang.

Flop.

[Captain Shot was killed by Dowook’s AWP headshot.]

As soon as Captain Shot, the strongest player in the lead, finished the eighth round with a shocking ranking of 50th.

The broadcasters who were commentating on the game, the chat, and Kim Suhan, who was teaching in the back. Everyone momentarily lost their words and only looked at the screen.

Another player jumped out of the underground bunker.

Tang. Tang. Flop.

[SeoBom was killed by Tto-wook’s AWP.]

Even though there was a considerable distance between the watchtower and the bunker, he wiped out his opponent’s stamina with just two shots.

“Whoa, C. Doctor. How did you do that without magnification? Was the problem with the gun preference?”

[T/N: C is like saying ‘Effing’ instead of the actual curse word.]

Kim Suhan’s fierce admiration. The reactions in the chatroom weren’t much different either.

「Dr. Tto-wook was the sniper type.」

「He has great form.」

Dowook waited excitedly even though he eliminated two. There were still two enemies left in this military base.

Ta-tang dang dang!

The enemy shot at Dowook’s character on the watchtower.

Location found.

Dowook manipulated the character and jumped to the other side. It was a fall from a high place so 40% of his blood was gone, but he was able to run to the roof of the command post, which was the second position he considered.

He stepped on a box, jumped up, and took a prone position. He still aimed at the back of the enemy who was still shooting at the watchtower.

Tang.

[Yang Poong-wol was killed by a headshot from Tto-wook’s AWP.]

As he took a deep breath while looking for the remaining enemy, the sound of footsteps were heard right next to him.

As soon as he turned the screen to check, the opponent who owned a charge gun suddenly jumped onto the roof.

“Oh! Doctor! Run away first!”

Help calmly turned his line of sight to the opponent and pressed the mouse.

Tang tang. Tang.

[Jjapjeonging was killed by Dowook’s AWP.]

“Phew.”

After a deep deep breath, Dowook’s character looked around.

“Military base clear.”

The viewers’ chat blew up with these words.

「Clear! That was insane!!!」

「That was awesome! Tto-wook-hyung, I’m dying!!」

「This hyung just killed the 1st and 5th placers.」

Dowook looked at the chat window and tried to say something, but stopped. Because he was using the UDT shooting instructor’s sense, he couldn’t catch a word of that chat.

-Ddirring.

-Ssuhan-hyung’s instructions were the actual deterrent.

-Ddirring.

-How did you make such a talented person come in last place? How can you do that?

When the criticisms came in, Kim Suhan showed that he thought it was unfair with his expression, but his mouth was smiling. Since the broadcast was becoming so fun.

Kim Suhan, who saw Dowook’s character trying to leave the military base as it was, urgently said.

“Doctor. Farming. You have to pack all the items that they just dropped.”

“Ah.”

「It’s the first time he’s killed someone so he doesn’t even know the basics of the game」

「Hey! I’m a newbie! But I’m a legend! Hahahaha」

Going to the next safe zone, he killed two more so his kill count was 6. The remaining 20 survivors quickly decreased.

Tang!

[Yapsil was killed by Dowook’s AWP.]

“Doctor, that’s awesome! Haha. Yappy down!”

Kim Suhan went into cheering mode and added rejoinder whenever Dowook caught someone.

At the end of the round, there were five players left in a narrow area. Kim Suhan said in a very nervous voice.

“Come on. I’m about to win. I’m getting all nervous about it.”

Dowook was worried because he couldn’t find a safe position. It was difficult to move because each of the five were hiding while observing their surroundings.

30 seconds before the warning that the safety zone would be narrowed further.

It was not the attack in the game that broke the silence, but the cell phone in Dowook’s pocket.

Dowook’s hand reflexively checked the call.

[About patient Kim Suhan, I have something to check if you want to calculate with the surgical technique added by Professor Choi. Do you have time in the evening?]

It was Lim So Yool’s text.

“Doctor!”

A warning from Kim Suhan. Dowook clicked on the mouse toward the enemy in front of him. Fortunately, he caught the other but was unable to endure the combined attack of the other three who jumped into the fight.

[Ranking #4 Kill 10]

“Oh, that was close. Died from getting ganged up on. But 10 kills? Wasn’t the highest record for Captain Shot today 11 kills? Awwwesssoome. 10 kills! Oh, yeah. If you weren’t ganged up on, you could have broken this record.”

Unlike Kim Suhan, who felt sorry for him, Dowook was not too disappointed.

Although he borrowed the sense of a special forces shooting instructor, at the beginning, he was only half-confident that this would work in the game. But now he was convinced.

Even if you didn’t know the rules of the game yet, if you were familiar with the rules of war, you could achieve high results only with correct judgment and calmness.

In addition, there were still two more rounds left. Since it was a nearby hospitalization room, he could borrow it at any time even if the sense faded.

‘I think I can win first place like this.’

Help sent Lim So Yool a reply first.

[I’m with Kim Suhan. Would you like to come here?]]

Vrrrr.

[Alright]

Kim Suhan seemed to have gotten the feeling back in his left arm, stood up for a moment and approached.

“You can’t overdo it.”

“I know, I know. I’m going to change the settings of the transmission computer a little bit. I think I thought wrong.”

“What?”

“I don’t think it’s a beginner’s teaching broadcast anymore.”

Kim Suhan, who stepped down after tapping on the keyboard, smiled satisfactorily and gave Dowok a thumbs up.

“Thank you for the rest of the round.”

[LIVE ON AIR]

[Dr. Tto-wook’s Conquest of Battleland]

When the title was revised, the 70,000 viewers, who were tuning in to the channel, chatted with laughter emoticons at once.

「This doctor got a name as a streamer less than an hour after turning on the broadcast.”」

「Was there anyone who hit 70,000 on the debut show? It’s legendary in many ways.」

The highlight video of the eighth round from the competition’s broadcasting channel was almost only Tto-wook’s sniping.

In particular, the four-person sniper scene shown at the military base in the early stages was busily praised by the broadcasters.

– This is hard to see even in professional competitions. Look. This natural positioning. He already saw the angle when he fell. How can a beginner make such a judgment? This is a very good instinct.

-Commentator. A viewer said it’s because Ssuhan stopped instructing.

-No way. Then how embarrassing would Ssuhan be?

Broadcast screen. Camera screen in the corner. Kim Suhan, lying in bed, slightly covered his face with a pillow.

-Ddirring.

-Ssuhan-hyung. Let’s be confident. I saw. I saw Tto-wook-hyung become 42nd place with Ssuhan-hyung’s instructions!

“Hey! Stop talking about Round 7 now. ……It’s embarrassing.”

Sitting quietly in front of the computer while looking at his phone, Dowook entered the waiting room in preparation for Round 9.

[Yapsil : Dr. Wook. Where are you going in this round?]

[Tto-wook : Why do you ask?]

[Yapsil : I’ll be out the moment I go there. Please let me live just this once.]

Seeing the chat in the waiting room, the viewers commented things like “Yapsil Kowtow Mode.” Kim Suhan laughed.

“Yapsil is good at riding the line. He knows where to go. Doctor, don’t ever tell him. Just press hard in the game.”

“But even if it’s not me, he’s always at the bottom…”….”

[Yapsil: Doctor! I’m watching that broadcast!]

“Oh, I’m kidding.”

「Doctor Tto-wook humiliated Yapsil right away.」

「He’s really good at broadcasting.」

Start of Round 9.

The timing of the tournament broadcasters was also bound to be Dowook-oriented.

Dowook’s character, which got off at a shabby private house, found a sniper gun on the second floor of the building and held it in his hand.

「Sniper Tto-wook, start!」

「You’re all dead now!”」

Dowook’s character, who simply overpowered the other three people who got off in the private house area, moved.

-This proves right away that this player’s previous round was not a coincidence.

As soon as viewers’ expectations were heightened by the commentator’s words.

Plop!

A flash of someone hiding in the trench flew toward Dowook’s character. As the screen went blank, the sound of guns was heard as a distortion effect.

Ta-ta-ta-dang!

[Captain Shot’s SCAR-L killed Tto-wook.]

[Ranking #34. Kill 3]

Taken out by a surprise attack.

Viewers were also surprised, but Dowook also couldn’t say anything while looking at the screen.

The broadcast screen revealed that Captain Shot, who was the first to be shot in the previous round, had been skillfully attacking only Dowook.

– Here, this scene. Look. Captain Shot moves quickly to keep Tto-wook in check from the drop point. It’s not a stable farming play to win the round, but a gamble.

「Wow, Captain Shot. Goosebumps. This shows the pride of a ranker.」

「I think he cut it unconditionally because it’s the biggest kill rival. The overall ranking is definite anyway.」

“Doctor, when the flash comes, you have to turn the screen around and cover your eyes.

“Really?”

“What do you mean, really? It’s obvious. A basic in FPS games.”

「This is what happens because a Barin is good at handling only sniper rifles. You don’t know how to deal with flashes?」

「You were in a hurry. You should have moved slowly while looking at the magnetic field time.」

After failing to play one round, the viewers’ advice came up one after another in the chat.

“By the way, Captain Shot seems to be trying to keep you in check properly. If he keeps doing this, the next round will be hard.”

“I’ll try to move carefully.”

“The mood at the beginning was better than before. I didn’t know the grudge of making him last place would be this big.”

With Kim Suhan lamenting, a completely new person appeared on the camera screen.

A beautiful eye-catching woman.

「Who’s that noona?」

「Wooow!」

「A celebrity? How far is this broadcast going?」

The chat was in a frenzy because of the beauty. One of them came to his senses and chatted.

「It’s that mathematician noona from a few days ago. Her name is Lim So Yool.」

Dowook bowed his head toward Dowook.

“You came, Director.”

“What is all this?”

“The patient couldn’t continue with the broadcast from the middle so I’ve been helping out. It’s almost over, so please wait a moment.”

In a screen filled with only two men, the appearance of a beautiful woman melted the hearts of the audience. The chatroom was filled with “Noona, The only light.”.

“Huh? There are 80,0008 viewers though?”

Kim Suhan on the bed calmly nodded at Dowook’s words, as Dowook turned to viewer statistics on the transmission screen.

“Our trainees are soloists who have rarely dated. If someone like this comes out, I can’t control it.”

-Ddirring.

-Mathematician noona! I’m dying!

“Look. He’s already dying like that. These kids are so embarrassing. How many lives do you have that you keep exclaiming that you’re dying. Calm down.”

-Ddirring.

-Yeah. We all know that you are also just staring at that noona.

“Yeah. I’m looking at your chats. From here I can only see the back of Ms. Mathematician’s head.”

As alerts came out one after another, Lim So Yool turned to the chat window.

“These are the ones who helped you estimate the global categorization, right? Thanks to this, I was able to find the exact numbers without the Bonferroni correction.”

「???」

「What is she talking about?」

「global…… correction…… thanks…… memo…….」

-Ddirring.

-What do you mean?

“This function? It’s a concept to find out the outliers through the Grubs test. Your vote informed me of your evaluation propensity very appropriately.”

「She’s speaking in Korean right?」

「Even if it’s alien language, it’s nice to hear since she’s so prettty.」

-Ddirring.

-Nonna. Please continue! You’re the best!

Lim So Yool’s eyes sparkled at the donation alerts.

“I guess there’s someone who likes math here, too. To know the function of finding out the outliers, I can’t help but mention the task I was working on when I was in Seville.…….”

“Director.”

Dowook, who was watching Lim So Yool, shook his head quietly.

“Why? They’re curious.”

“Half of the chat is question marks. If you continue, the viewers will run away. I’m helping the broadcast, not disturbing it.”

“Disturbing? Abnormal prices are not that difficult. It only takes five minutes.”

“I think the director is strict with other calculations but is always lax when factoring in the understanding of calculations.”

“What?”

Dowook slightly avoided Lim So Yool’s gaze, who raised her eyebrow.

Although it seemed like an argument, there was a sweet atmosphere making the viewers comment things like, “Is this an episode of We Got Married?” and “What’s this, what’s this?”

“I got a message for Round 10. Stop being angry and stay at the back for a second.”

Dowook logged on to the waiting room for the game.

[Yapsil : Dr. Wook. Where are you going this time? I’ll ambush you and catch you. How did all the air come out in one round? It’s very Wook-puccino. Ha]

The chat atmosphere of the participants had also changed due to the previous round. However, it was a chat with a pleasant intention to entertain viewers.

Help glanced at Kim Suhan and hit the keyboard.

[Tto-wook: Yes, 49th place in the first round. When I ranked 42nd earlier, I couldn’t even talk to the top 30. Does Battleland normally not take rank into account?]

[Yapsil: ……Do-doctor?]

[Tto-wook: Stop! Where?]

[Roksam: LOL]

[Seopoong: That’s right. That’s right, Yapsil. How can the 49th chat here? Close your mouth]

As the atmosphere moved to teasing streamer Yapsil, even the waiting time continued to entertain the viewers.

A few minutes later, the count for entering the 10th round began.

Inside the plane flying over the island.

Dowook’s character waited until the end and fell alone at the end of the island.

「You’re starting from the outside.」

「The priority is not to be discovered. Great judgment.」

「Will Captain Shot come again this time?」

While chatting continued, Dowook’s character entered the church from Round 6 and quickly picked up only the items that he needed.

“Oh, doctor. You’re using a church-run strategy.”

“I think there are quite a few essential weapons here. I rarely see people as well.”

“That’s why I recommended it earlier.”

Dowook’s character, who packed a sniper gun, scope, and first aid kit, soon climbed up the hill.

Dowook, who was lying close behind a rock and slowly looked around, found a very small point and enlarged it.

It was a player bending under the wall.

An estimate of 1km.

Even with the sniper scope, it was too far away.

He was waiting for the other to come within range, when a face suddenly popped up on the camera screen.

“Now. Please shoot at that location.”

Dowook was surprised and asked when he heard Lim So-yul’s remarks with her face right next to his.

“Just shoot?”

“Yes. The data is very accurate in this game.”

「Mathematician noona’s Training ON!」

“You’re not doing this because I cut you off earlier, right?”

“No.”

At Lim So Yool’s glance, he quietly clicked on the mouse as she said.

The scope’s crosshair. An effect appeared as a bullet passed far out of the lower left side of the screen.

At that moment, Lim So Yool’s eyes twinkled.

“Gravity variable is 1.1 m per second, wind variable is 1.35 m per second, and air resistance is not put into data.”

Lim So Yool, who finished calculating the trajectory in an instant, pointed at one side of the screen with her finger.

“Here it is. 271 degrees, top scale 2.73, left scale 3.39. Shoot.”

“Shoot? Really?”

“If your opponent moves, you have to calculate again. Hurry up.”

Dowook manipulated the crosshair and pulled the trigger toward the point she designated.

Click! Ta-ang!

About 3 seconds after shooting.

[Handsome guy Junhyuk was killed by Tto-wook’s Kar98K headshot.]

The bullet that flew more than 1,000 meters hit the enemy.

「??????????」

「What was that just now?」
