The chat window was also in chaos. Speech bubbles were popping up everywhere, and insults were being thrown towards Earth Star and CatMeowMeowMeow. However, in the meantime, CatMeowMeowMeow was calmly trying out the recently acquired skills, and occasionally making mistakes with emojis.

[Couple] Ji9star: I’m here!!

[Couple] neutaaaa: ??I can’t see it because it’s covered

[Couple] Ji9star: Ah

Earth Star jumped up and down in his place. Only then was he able to see that his head was sticking out from among the people who were covering him.

[Couple] neutaaaa: 3ㅅ3 lol

[Couple] Ji9star: Started a fight as soon as you saw me… I didn’t have time to change, you know?

[couple] neutaaaa: 3ㅅ3

It was still funny to see him wearing round sunglasses on his carp eyes. Even if that’s true, how come he couldn’t find time to change his eyes every time he logged in? He should at least make up an excuse that makes sense for people to believe.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Why didn’t you have time?

[Couple] Ji9star: Busy! I had to raise my score beforehand to make time for today haha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Ah yes haha

It was just an excuse. There was no reason to bother with time for a mere three 8-minute rounds of PVP.

‘Hooking Star!’

It was then. When CatMeowMeowMeow fired a skill at the scarecrow in the fighting arena for the damage test, a message window with the word ‘MISS!’ was displayed, accompanied by the fantastic effect of stars flying in all directions.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Huh…

[Couple] Ji9star: Ha… Hahahaha…hahahaha

[Couple] Ji9star: Save Earth Starㅠ0ㅠ

“…”

Yeo-woon was so surprised that no words came out. CatMeowMeowMeow even changed jobs, so why was the damage like that? It seemed to have gotten worse. What’s going on? Yeo-woon had a sad expression on his face as he stared at CatMeowMeowMeow, who had become such a trashy character. It was clearly someone else’s business, but it didn’t feel like someone else’s business…

[Global] CatMeowMeowMeow: Oh, everyone turns it off. I can’t see what’s going on ㅡㅡ;;;;

[Global] MelodyS2: Die! Die, hacker bastard! Die, hacker bastard! Die, hacker bastard! Die, hacker bastard! Die, hacker bastard!

He seemed irritated because there were so many characters overlapping and using their skills. Meanwhile, a festival was taking place in the guild chat room. CatMeowMeowMeow’s abilities were plainly seen to guild members who had moved to the fighting arena after hearing Yeo-woon’s words.

[Guild] Starfruit: Oh, the damage is cute hahahahaha

[Guild] Motsuena: Is it cuter than Neunim Damage?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ?? Did you insult me for just standing there quietly?

[Guild] Motsuena: LOL Please take a look LOL

Yeo-woon felt an unknown surge of confidence. Even though he didn’t know before, now it seemed like his damage would be better than CatMeowMeowMeow.

[Guild] Strawberry: Hahahahahahaha Laughing so hard. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone miss hitting a scarecrow haha Even if we take it easy, we’ll probably win haha

[Guild] Strawberry: He uses an aim hack and still gets a miss Hahaha Tsk tsk f it were me, I’ll k*ll myself.

[Guild] Starfruit: If they don’t stop this time, I’m going to quit this game…

[Guild] Starfruit: Seriously. There is a level of blindness lol.

[Guild] Strawberry: Why are you quitting the game? Even those guys play games just fine.

[Guild] Starfruit: Hehe, even if it’s just to watch Strawberry, I shouldn’t quit haha.

[Guild] Strawberry: Yes bro^^

Yeo-woon looked at the clock to estimate the time to return to the house he moved to. Three 8-minute games starting at 7 o’clock. He said it would take at least 30 minutes. Then, when the second game ended, he could place a pickup order at the sushi restaurant she’d seen nearby and go straight out to pick it up.

‘These days, even if you order delivery, it takes at least an hour, so it should be okay, right?’

[Server] Motsuena: ♥♥♥Starting the broadcast^^… The video link is in the main post, so please show a lot of interest~ ♥♥♥

Motsuena announced through the server microphone that the match would soon begin. Yeo-woon clicked the link provided by Strawberry, curious about how the broadcast will be aired. When he clicked on the video link, the noises of the game began to overlay with a man’s voice stating, ‘Welcome. Yes, right here.’ Was this guy connected to the mic too? His voice was really loud… Yeo-woon muted the sound of Motsuena’s broadcast link and looked at the screen.

He was actually broadcasting the game screen as it is. Looking at the guild chat coming up a little late, it seemed like there was a few seconds delay from actual gameplay. As people currently watching the video entered chat, their messages began to appear one by one in the upper right corner of the screen. Motsuena, who was in the guild room, moved to Isis and entered the fighting arena.

[Global] Motsuena: I will request a party PVP. Is the Ruined City okay for the first round?

[Global] CatMeowMeowMeow: Yeah

[Global] Ji9stars: Yeah~

[Guild] Strawberry: The answer is in pairs hahaha So arrogant

‘Motsuena has invited you to a party. Will you accept?’

Yeo-woon received the party invitation he sent. It was a little confusing to see the screen from both sides, so Yeo-woon completely closed Motsuena’s broadcast screen and switched the game to full screen.

[Friend] CatMeowMeowMeow: Neuta-nim, fighting!!

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: Fighting!

[Friend] Wandu Wandya: I heard this is your first time in PVP? Don’t be nervous haha

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: Fighting fighting!

[Friend] neutaaaa: Hahahaha Thx thx

[Couple] Ji9star: You’re talking through friend chat without me again… ㅡㅡ

They were strange people. Even though they were on the opposing team they still gave him words of encouragement. The notice that Motsuena had completed the PvP request and was waiting for the opponent party’s registration appeared.

‘You have selected the Ruined City map.’

‘Move to the Ruined City map. Good luck.’

After a while, the screen changed to loading and then to a 30-second wait state. Yeo-woon had moved the attack power increase buff and evasion rate increase buff to the skill window’s shortcut keys. He’d learned from the practice games that using buffs and potions effectively to avoid attacks was the most likely method for him to survive.

[Party] Motsuena: Neunim, please listen to me seriously.

[Party] neutaaaa: Yes?

[Party] Motsuena: I will confess proudly in front of 200 live viewers. Neunim, will you accept me as a friend after this game is over? Haha

“…?”

Yeo-woon’s mouth opened wide without his knowledge. He never expected to hear such words again today.

[Party] Motsuena: Not just as a friend, but as a boyfriend haha ​​In this game, you’re the first person to make my heart tremble every time I see you^^

[Party] Motsuena: If you’re not taken, will you go out with me?

“…”

He really, really hated it. He wondered how he could make that guy, who didn’t listen to him at all, understand. Yeo-woon didn’t understand why he was flirting with him when they hadn’t really had any contact. He knew there wasn’t a single female user in the guild; maybe that guy had driven them away. Should he sacrifice someone else as a victim instead of himself?

[Party] neutaaaa: Motsu-nim, I don’t want to date a guy…

[Party] Motsuena: I heard you’re married, Neu-nim.

[Party] neutaaaa: No shit

[Party] Motsuena: Then what about Earth Star?

[Party] Motsuena: … Could it be that Earth Star is also a girl?

[Party] Motsuena: Surprising… Is Earth Star pretty?

“…”

Yeo-woon couldn’t figure out what the logic was. Was it okay as long as Earth Star was pretty too?

[Party] neutaaaa: ? Earth Star is also a man and we’ll break up soon?

[Party] Motsuena: Oh, you’re breaking up with Earth Star, then why can’t it be me?

[Party] neutaaaa: Because I’m a guy too; Haha, I’ll think about it if you’re going away.

[Party] Motsuena: Noona… what do you mean go awayㅠ You’re torturing me with hope ^^ My intuition is telling me that Neu-nim is a girl…

His nonsensical chatter increased, becoming increasingly irritating. He couldn’t take jokes as jokes. He seemed like the weirdest person Yeo-woon had met in this game. Perhaps he’d have to tell Strawberry he was leaving the guild after today. And he needed to look up how to block users and just block Motsuena altogether.

After the 30-second buff time, the clock was reset. The abandoned Ruins City map was generated, and a lonely atmosphere filled the headset with melancholic music.

[Party] Motsuena: Neunim, please stay down there until I cut Earthstar’s neck^^

[Party] neutaaaa: Yes…

After playing several games with Motsuena, it seemed like he just thought that him staying still was helping.

[Global] Ji9star: Let’s go to the jungle for the next round; Ruins and Fields are so boringㅇㅅㅇ~

[Global] Motsuena: LOL Are you confident you can win in the jungle?

[Global] Ji9star: I’m confident here too!

Yeo-woon and Motsuena’s party started from the bottom right, while their opponents spawned from the bottom left. As always, Motsuena moved forward first and fired his gun towards the bottom. It was an unnecessary attack, but he said it made him look cool. In Yeo-woon’s opinion, it was a waste of bullets.

The crucian-eyed Earth Star appeared on the screen. He seemed to be hopping forward like Motsuena, faster than CatMeowMeowMeow. Earth Star approached Motsuena in the blink of an eye.
