Idol Game Olympics. (7)
“Choi Ian shows an amazing super play! He enters the safe zone!”
“Now there are only 10 people left on the field, and as I speak, Lee Minha eliminates Pinky Lady’s Lee Jihye! Only 9 people remain!”
The safe zone was a hill with nothing but trees and rocks for cover. Lee Minha had already secured a spot at the top of the hill behind a large rock.
“Lee Minha has a great position!”
“The people below the hill are not in a good spot! The dead zone is activated!”
Ian’s hiding place would soon become a dead zone. His character rolled on the ground and headed behind a tree on top of the hill. Lee Minha reacted immediately and fired at where Ian was.
“Wow, he has good reflexes.”
Ian threw a smoke grenade.
[What are you going to do? Your position is terrible.]
‘What can I do? I have to wait until he kills the rest of them.’
Ian shot at someone hiding behind a nearby tree. The kill log flashed. Ian killed someone who was barely visible because of the smoke grenade with one shot. He watched the situation from behind the tree.
“Lee Minha is relentless! Now there is only one person left on the field, Choi Ian from Awi!”
“Lee Minha has the advantage! The Miracle members are cheering right now!”
The kill log that Lee Minha created faded away.
“I’ll take the first place.”
Lee Minha smirked at the camera that was filming him. His character pulled out a grenade and pulled the pin. Then he threw it in Ian’s direction.
“Lee Minha throws a grenade!”
“Will Lee Minha win like this?”
Ian’s character rolled on the ground again and caught the grenade that Lee Minha threw. He threw it back.
-???
-ㅁㅊ
-Isn’t this a very difficult skill?
-What? Why did he succeed?
This skill of catching and throwing back a grenade was very hard to pull off. The player’s character’s hand and the grenade in mid-air had to match perfectly. Many players had failed to do this skill.
“He catches and throws it back! This difficult skill in one go! He’s not an ordinary pro!”
The grenade fell near Lee Minha’s feet. Lee Minha laughed bitterly.
“Wow, I lost.”
You killed Lee Minha with the grenade you threw back.
Victory!
Ian took off his headset. The Awi members who were jumping in their seats ran to him.
“Dude, awesome.”
“You did it.”
The members shook Ian’s shoulders roughly as they got up from their seats. The Mykit members also gathered around Ian.
“You jerk. Did you have to kill him like that to feel better?”
Jo Taewoong glared at Choi Ian with narrowed eyes.
“Don’t be like that. I got first place, didn’t I?”
“You’re the only one who got first place.”
Jo Taewoong snapped. Ian smiled awkwardly, and Lee Juhyuk intervened between them.
“Anyway, we have a team match later, right?”
“Yeah. I’ll carry hard.”
“Yeah? Then fine.”
Jo Taewoong changed his attitude at Ian’s confident words.
Park Seodam took a microphone from the staff and went to Lee Minha’s seat.
“Everyone, please take your seats. Before we interview the winner, how do you feel, Minha?”
“Ah… It’s such a shame.”
Lee Minha made an eyebrow-shaped frown and looked disappointed with the microphone in his hand.
“I didn’t expect him to throw back the grenade… I underestimated Ian’s skills.”
“You didn’t win the individual match, but there’s a team match next, right? Do you think you’ll win then?”
“Of course. Our Miracle members have great teamwork, so I think we won’t lose this time. We’ll definitely win.”
“That’s good.”
Park Seodam turned over a cue card and approached Ian. The Awi members looked at Park Seodam with happy faces.
“So, Ian hyung, how do you feel about winning?”
“I’m really happy. Especially because I beat Minha.”
“Then are you confident about the team match that’s coming up?”
Ian made a troubled expression.
“You know, Seodam? Our members are not that… good at this.”
“I know.”
Park Seodam also smiled awkwardly with cloudy eyes.
“I feel bad about leaving Taewoong behind earlier. I’ll be in charge of supporting our members.”
“Thank you. That concludes the mid-game interview.”
“Great job, MC Seodam!”
The interview ended and the players took their seats in the audience. There was not only an individual match, but also a team match.
“Wow! The individual match was a fantastic display of skills, and now we will start the team match.”
“Before we start, let’s see the bracket!”
The screen showed the bracket for the team match. ‘Ground Survival’ had not only a battle royale mode, but also a hyper mode, where certain weapons gave abilities. There were six teams in total, and among them, Awi and Miracle were paired up.
“We’re up against Miracle?”
“The PD must have done it.”
And the team match began with Awi and Miracle.
“I was bored because I died too quickly earlier. This is good.”
“How did you die?”
Park Jinhyuk chuckled and answered Ian’s question.
“He fell to his death.”
“Shut up. How did you know I fell?”
“I died before you did. I opened my parachute too late.”
“Crazy. You died right at the start then.”
Kim Hyun and Park Jinhyuk looked at each other and laughed awkwardly.
‘How am I supposed to play with these people.’
Ian sighed and shook his head. He thought it would be better to focus on the entertainment value in this team match.
***
“Yes! The team match begins now!”
“Awi and Miracle, please take your seats!”
Kim Hyun and Park Seodam, who were sitting next to Ian, tapped his shoulder.
“Ian, I trust you.”
“You’ll do everything, right?”
Cho Taewoong, who was next to Kim Hyun, took off his headset and said.
“No, Ian agreed to carry me only.”
“Did you hear that?”
“Ugh, we’re doomed.”
Park Seodam grumbled.
The game started after a short preparation time. ‘Hyper mode’ did not have parachutes from the plane. Each side had their own spawn area.
“Let’s split up and farm.”
The members followed Ian’s order and scattered to find items.
“What did you get? I got a claymore.”
“I got a first aid kit and an energy drink.”
“I got a pistol. No ability attached.”
They all failed to get any items with abilities. ‘Hyper mode’ was a mode where you had to get more than half of the abilities before entering. It was very important to get items with abilities in the early game.
“Our item luck is unreal…”
Park Jinhyuk sighed.
“Oh! Miracle team is doing great! They already got an item with sprint ability!”
“This is a cheat-level item if used well! On the other hand, Awi has… nothing yet!”
Moreover, items with abilities were not unlimited. There was a fixed amount on the map. That’s why they had to get more ability items than the other team.
“Let’s go out.”
“At least we have a truck, right?”
Kim Juyeong was in charge of driving the truck. The Awi members left the building area and sped through the desert, singing a travel song while bouncing their shoulders in sync.
“Awi! They don’t have any ability items, but they’re having fun!”
“At that moment, Miracle gets another ability item!”
Ian, who was looking around, shouted urgently.
“There! There’s something there!”
“Where where where!”
“There! At 11 o’clock!”
“What do you see? Let’s go!”
The members jumped out of the truck in a hurry. Kim Juyeong slammed on the brakes so hard that he crashed the truck into a tree.
-The manly way of parking
-Tree: Kill… me…
-Is the truck unusable?
“He has an eagle eye even in games. Did you find it?”
“Yes!”
“Who’s going to take it?”
Cho Taewoong, who was near the item, put the shining rifle in his bag.
“Wow, it has an ability! It has cloaking!”
The members of Awi screamed in excitement. They had to keep quiet when they played games at the PC cafe, but here they didn’t have to worry about anyone else. The audio was blasting.
-Wow, this is crazy.
-Look at these beagles lol.
-How can you understand what they’re saying? I can’t hear anything lol.
-My ears are bleeding.
“Did that team get an item?”
“What did they get? They sound like they got something amazing.”
“Amazing? Maybe cloaking? Or a grenade launcher?”
“A grenade launcher would be bad news…”
It was so loud that even Miracle, who was wearing a headset on the other side, could hear them.
-They’re advertising themselves lol.
-They’re busted.
-They’re doomed lol.
“We got cloaking, so we need a map scan item too.”
“Hey! There’s something else over there!”
This time, Park Jin-hyuk found an item.
“It’s a scan drone!”
“Nice, nice.”
There were more weapons scattered on the flat ground than in the spawn area. Ian looked at the Awi members who had finished farming items satisfactorily and said,
“We’ll die if we stay here. Let’s go to a building.”
“Okay.”
Ian entered the nearest building and installed a claymore at the entrance.
“It’s been two minutes since we started! We’ve done enough farming and now it’s time to fight!”
“Miracle, we’re going to find Awi! They’re close by!”
Miracle’s truck was speeding through the desert and started to appear in the distance.
“There they are.”
“That building?”
Seo Hak-gyu turned the wheel at Lee Min-ha’s words and parked smoothly in front of the building. It was a different move from Kim Joo-young, who had stopped the car by crashing it into a tree.
-That’s how you drive.
-Miracle wins lol.
-They have more items too?
“Did you launch the scan drone, Jin-hyuk hyung?”
“Oh, right.”
The scan drone was an item that took a long time to activate. Park Jin-hyuk, who had just realized it, hurriedly launched the scan drone.
-You’re already nervous, aren’t you?
-It’s over.
-It’s too late to launch the scan now lol.
Suddenly, Kim Seung-hyun, the youngest member of Miracle, stepped on the claymore that was installed at the entrance.
[TEAM B] Kim Seung-hyun has died.
“Good. Everyone scatter.”
The members followed Ian’s order and dispersed. Park Seo-dam, who was waiting on the second floor, fired his gun, but he couldn’t beat Hwang Seong-won of Miracle, who had a shield and a sprint item.
[TEAM A] Park Seo-dam has died.
“Ah, what a waste. I’ll stab him before the cooldown is over.”
Jo Tae-woong pressed the cloaking item hard and his character melted into the space and disappeared.
[TEAM B] Hwang Seong-won has died.
[TEAM B] Lee Tae-young has died.
As soon as he used the cloaking, he couldn’t shoot a gun and only a melee weapon was possible, but he had a relatively long time to be invisible, so he quickly stabbed him with a dagger.
“Good.”
“Ouch, I stepped on a trap.”
“I’ll cover you.”
“No, don’t come. Argh!”
Before Ian could help him, Carter of Miracle stabbed Jo Tae-woong, who had stepped on a trap and deactivated his cloaking.
[TEAM A] Jo Tae-woong has died.
Ian heard the sound of someone coming up the stairs and reflexively fired his gun.
[TEAM B] Yang Jin-rim has died.
The building was full of gunshots. The members of Awi, who had eliminated the remaining members of Miracle by timing their item cooldowns, chuckled.
The scan drone is activated.
The scan drone scanned the entire building. The silhouette of Lee Min-ha’s character was hiding behind a wall, in the hallway.
“Min-ha, you’re the only one left.”
Awi had Ian, Kim Joo-young, and Kim Hyun left. Lee Min-ha was the only survivor from Miracle, and he muttered regretfully as he was outnumbered.
“Ah, I could have won… Huh? What’s that?”
Lee Min-ha, who was cornered at the end of the hallway, opened a box that was placed there.
“This is… I won.”
What he found was a golden RPG-7 that shone brightly.
Ian’s character, who was reloading his gun from afar, slowly backed away.
“Wait, that’s…”
Lee Min-ha equipped the RPG-7 and smirked.
“What is a bomb?”
-Art
-Art
-I can’t stand this lol
-It’s over lololololololol
The golden RPG-7 was none other than the ultimate item of hyper mode that could fire unlimited warheads for 10 seconds.
Ian saw the golden warhead flying towards him and let go of his mouse and keyboard in vain.
“Ah, this is too much.”
Luck-based trash game.
