A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 268

Tang!

【Remaining Time – 0 Seconds】

The final gunshot echoed, and the remaining time pointed to 0 seconds.

“Ugh…”

And the result… how should I put it? A nail-biting success, perhaps?

It definitely felt different from what I initially imagined, but it wasn’t completely impossible either. With more practice, I think I can pull it off.

Of course, this is completely different from the playstyle that Mit-chan told me about for Rina. But Mit-chan did say at the very beginning that the playstyle in this game isn’t strictly determined by position or character, right? Except for certain characters, you can basically choose the equipment you want in Bloody Night 2.

Mit-chan just said that they often play this way, so take it as a reference. They also mentioned that Rina is a champion that raises a lot of questions, like, “Is it okay to have her main position as a Striker?”

So, the playstyle I’m thinking of now isn’t necessarily wrong. From the moment I saw Rina’s skills, I thought this playstyle suited her.

★

There are a total of 5 positions in Bloody Night 2.

– **Tanker**: Excels at absorbing enemy attacks and controlling areas.


– **Visioner**: Uses excellent mobility to secure vision.


– **Initiator**: Signals the start of combat and excels at disrupting enemies.


– **Supporter**: Provides team support and utility.


– **Striker**: Excels at taking down enemies with powerful skills.

And our team… Tuni and Eri decided to practice as Supporter and Tanker.

[Konomi Eri: Tuni and I have some FPS experience, and we’ve played Bloody Night 1 a few times on stream, but Rene, you’re completely new, right?]


[Konomi Eri: So, I thought this would be the best way to go.]


[Tuni: Plus, Tanker and Supporter can do a lot together depending on the situation.]


[Rene: I think I’d be better as a Supporter…]


[Konomi Eri: No no no no! Considering your personality and image, you’re definitely a Striker!]


[Tuni: I also think Striker suits Rene.]


[Tuni: And some people think Supporter is a position for less skilled players, but that’s not the case in the Bloody Night series.]


[Konomi Eri: Exactly! It’s actually the position with the biggest gap between experienced and inexperienced players!]


[Konomi Eri: So, Tuni, who knows the Bloody Night series the best among us, should be the Supporter!]

After that conversation, it was decided that I would be the Striker.

Actually, Mit-chan and Ne-chan also said that newbies are better off starting as Strikers. They mentioned that this trio (Tanker, Supporter, Striker) is the most basic and fundamental combination, with a very high floor.

[Konomi Eri: Rene, which character are you going to pick?]


[Rene: I think I’ll go with Rina.]


[Konomi Eri: Wow, Rina is really hard to play. Are you sure?]


[Rene: Yeah, I think I’ll be fine.]


[Tuni: Honestly, when I think about Rene’s image, Rina does seem to fit.]


[Tuni: You’ve been dominating in New World with those acceleration skills.]


[Konomi Eri: Oh, by the way, there’s a VTuber in Japan who’s really good with Rina.]


[Konomi Eri: They won the VR Finals and the General Assembly with Rina.]


[Konomi Eri: It’s Bloody Night 1, but the skills are the same, so watching their videos might help a lot.]


[Rene: I’ve been watching their videos for reference, but my playstyle is a bit different.]


[Konomi Eri: What are you preparing to surprise us with?!]


[Tuni: Honestly, I think I’d just go with whatever Rene brings.]

[It’s already been 3 months since the release of Bloody Night 2.]


[For us, those 3 months felt both short and long, and we feel like we’ve learned a lot thanks to all of you.]


[With your love and support, we’ve been able to push forward, and now it’s time to give back.]

…

[Team Tuni (Korea): Tuni (Team Leader) | Konomi Eri | Rene]


Mi Eri | Rene (Vtuber)]

But Tuni Rene <<< What are these girls??? I was so shocked when I saw the name, damn it lololol.



[Recommend: 35 / Disrecommend: 2]



Yeah: Rene <<< Didn’t this girl say on stream she had no plans to play Bloody Night 2? Were we lied to?



└Should we play Bloody Night 2?🔸: For real, I’m so confused;

└Yeah: And they even applied as a team from the start lololol.

★

When it was revealed that I would be participating in the Bloody Night 2 General Assembly, as expected, there was a huge uproar on Nate.

To be precise, it was the tag ‘Renetor’ that I set last time that caused the chaos.

─────────────────

[Didn’t you say you had no plans to play Bloody Night 2? Did you lie to me, Rene??? #Renetor]

[You said you had no FPS experience 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴 #Renetor]

[Why did you decide to participate but never mentioned it on stream? lol #Renetor]

[FPS… girl… I’m about to lose my mind, Rene… #Renetor]

[It’s so funny that (Vtuber) is written next to the name lolololol #Renetor]

─────────────────

Was it because of the shock from her statement that she had no plans to play Bloody Night 2?

Or was it the shock of the fact that I would be playing Bloody Night 2?

Honestly, I couldn’t tell what the real answer was.

Well… it was chaotic, but that didn’t mean the atmosphere was bad.

From the believers’ perspective, it just meant new content for the stream.

In fact, most of them were looking forward to how I would play Bloody Night 2.

Anyway, it was revealed that I would be participating in the Bloody Night 2 General Assembly, which also meant that I could now stream Bloody Night 2.

[Konomi Eri: Let’s collab tonight!]

And for our team, which was already decided, it was naturally decided that we would stream Bloody Night 2 together.

[Rene]

[Hello, we’re going to practice for the Bloody Night 2 General Assembly]

[Bloody Night 2 | 3,811 viewers | 00:00:24]

─I’m so curious how the beast girl will play Bloody Night 2, upvote lololololol

─The fact that she was in the same sect as senior Rene means it’s ‘real’ ㄷㄷㄷㄷ

─She’s a former mercenary who actually shot guns, damn it

─99% of Korean men have shot a gun, right???

─But not many have done it in real combat…

─Guys, games aren’t real life, damn it;

─What are you talking about? This is my reality and it’s real, you liar bastard

[Wow, I feel so nervous. The tournament hasn’t even started yet….]

[I saw predictions already being posted in the community, did you see our team’s predicted ranking?]

[Ah, I saw that. They said if Tuni does well, we might make it to around 15th place….]

[In short, we’re like the underdogs.]

Bloody Night 2 is basically a game where 3 people form a team, and 50 teams participate.

Meaning. A single game has a whopping 150 players.

However, in tournaments, due to broadcasting issues and other reasons, only 20 teams get to participate.

Meaning. Being predicted to rank 15th, as Tuni said, means we’re considered out of the running.

The reason is probably mostly because of me.

I said on stream that I had no plans to play Bloody Night 2, and that I had zero FPS experience.

And now, I had to talk to them about it.

“Hey… I actually wanted to talk about something….”

★

─Wow, she really wasn’t lying about having no FPS experience lololol

─Even the beast girl has no talent for Bloody Night 2…

─Her only strength was VR games, why Bloody Night 2 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

─Her reactions are clearly fast, so why can’t she deal damage properly?;

─This confirms she’s a virgin…

─Guys, beasts can’t use tools… It’s not weird for the streamer to be bad at shooting games…

[Well… um. Let’s end it here for today. Good job, everyone.]

[Yep! Good job, everyone!]

“Good job…. Ah, everyone…. Sorry, but I’m going to end the stream now…. Sorry….”

─BBBB

─No, damn it, it’s my chat time!!!!

─Honestly, I didn’t expect her to be this bad…

─She must be shocked too, yeah;

─Info) I just checked the streamer’s records, she’s never been in the top 30 in regular games…

─Which means she’s confirmed a virgin… The Unicorn Squad wins again today…

〔The stream has ended.〕
