[TS] Obsessed Gamer: The Ultimate Return – Chapter 314

Currently, the equipment I’m holding is a black umbrella.

It’s about three tiers lower than a metal pipe, which could be deemed the strongest early game weapon outside firearms — it’s practically a level above bare hands.

The attack methods with the umbrella include both stabbing and hitting, but the hitting is practically useless, making stabbing the only effective attack.

In a way, it was a strangely accurate representation of the weapon’s characteristics.

Nonetheless, because of this, the umbrella is considered one of the weaker early-game weapons, yet I somehow managed to take down a zombie 1:1 with it.

[“……Outlaw, have you tried For Men’s?”]

Bumhyeon said with a somewhat skeptical tone.

I thought I did pretty well, but I was a bit doubtful if it was enough to fluster a veteran like Bumhyeon, as his voice clearly showed his surprise.

“No. This is my first time.”

[“What?”]

– Is this some kind of fencing? LOL


– His physique is insane.


– Is this… the undefeated jungler of the second division?


– I acknowledge the supreme teams.


– What exactly can’t he do?

[“Is it easy to kill zombies? I’ll try too.”]

Maybe I made killing zombies look easy, as Jaem-min bravely charged toward one.

And…….

[“Ah! Help!”]

As if it was waiting for him, he got grabbed by a zombie.

Seeing it was a sure bite, Bumhyeon and I had no choice but to rush over to save Kim Jae-min.

– Hahahahahaha


– LOL


– Ah, you can’t do this casually.


– Who does he think he is, trying to make a physical play?


– Agreed, truly agreed.


– The difference with a top-tier jungler^^


– Please be quiet, noble people. Jaem-min is not a bot lane prince.

“Sigh.”

Thud!

Swish!

The umbrella moved deftly.

However, no matter how hard I stabbed with the umbrella, it couldn’t compare to the metal pipe that Bumhyeon wielded.

It was oddly realistic.

[“Phew… Thanks.”]

Jaem-min was freed from the zombie’s grasp.

Though he was bleeding profusely, at least he avoided the worst-case scenario of being infected.

[“Here’s some medicine.”]

[“Oh, thank you.”]

Jaem-min wrapped his HP back up with the bandages handed over by Bumhyeon.

[“Alright, let’s keep going.”]

“Let’s go.”

[“L-Let’s go together……”]

– Nyuye is so cute LOL


– Scurrying along


– Scampering


– Hahahaha


– So adorably cute, for real

The general formation was set.

Lead, Bumhyeon.

Middle, me.

Second middle, NyuyeNyuye.

Rear, Jaem-min.

[“Here they come!”]

With Bumhyeon’s shout, two zombies rushed from the front.

[Key-ehhhhhh!]


[Kyaaak!]

According to Bumhyeon, it takes at least two people to gang up on a single zombie.

But unfortunately, our team wasn’t well matched.

[“Aaaah!”]

NyuyeNyuye’s character spun in place.

This meant she was having a seizure while holding the mouse.

‘Help is going to be hard.’

If Bumhyeon and I engaged one zombie, that meant Jaem-min and NyuyeNyuye had to face the other.

But since NyuyeNyuye was in such a state, I shifted my focus.

“Jaem-min, stick to the left!”

[“Huh? Oh, okay.”]

Kim Jae-min couldn’t hide his surprise but quickly acted, probably out of habit from following my orders.

– Look at him listening so well LOL


– Ah, if the boss says to do it, it has to be done.


– Agreed.


– When did Jaem-min become so obedient?

With that, I found myself back in a 1:1 situation against the zombie.

But I had nothing to fear.

[Key-ehhhhhh!]

The zombie lunged at me.

I dodged its claws by bending down and aimed for its knee with the umbrella tip.

Thwap!

With that, one of the zombie’s knees punctured, it lost balance and fell forward.

If I wasn’t careful, I could end up under it, so I quickly slipped away on seeing it tumble.

Thud!

Now, it was all about dispatching the fallen zombie.

With the umbrella raised, I ruthlessly stabbed the zombie’s body.

Thud! Thud!

Even with a weak weapon, poking all the vital points made the zombie unable to hold on and it fell dead.

– Wow


– His physicality is for real.


– This is insane.


– How is this even happening?


– For real.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, I quickly pressed on.

[“Here!”]

Meanwhile, Bumhyeon and Jaem-min were still battling their zombie fiercely.

No matter how strong Bumhyeon’s metal pipe was, it took time to eliminate a zombie without taking any damage.

“I’ll take care of it.”

I swung at the zombie that was caught up with Bumhyeon and Jaem-min.

The zombie’s attention turned to me, but by then Bumhyeon had already slammed its head with his pipe.

Clang!

[“Phew… finally got it.”]

[“Wow, did you really take down a zombie by yourself?”]

“Yeah.”

[“That’s awesome.”]

[“…Indeed.”]

Jaem-min and Bumhyeon nodded in sequence.

And we moved again behind Bumhyeon to grab some firearms.

– But isn’t Nyuye kind of a liability?


– Agreed.


– Why did she even sign up for For Men’s?


– Maybe she thought she’d do well since she’s good at FPS too LOL


– Ah, LOL, she can’t do melee combat.

Since NyuyeNyuye wasn’t performing well, the public sentiment was not great.

‘Hmm.’

Normally, I’d tell the other broadcasters not to look down on her, but this was beyond the line, so I focused back on the game.

[“See those cop zombies over there? From now on, we’re going to collect the firearms over there.”]

We carried on with the game according to the initial formation.

[“Okay, good.”]

A pistol and a shotgun.

Though they weren’t fully automatic guns with high firing rates, these were still very good firearms to pick up early on.

[“I’ll take the shotgun… what will you, Outlaw?”]

“I’ll go for the shotgun too.”

I tried to pick one of the two shotguns available, but there was one guy in our party who acted faster than his words.

[“Oh, I’ve already taken the shotgun.”]

“…….”

[“Well, I guess that’s it then. Jaem-min will take the shotgun… and you, Outlaw, and Nyuye can go with either the automatic pistol or the revolver, is that okay?”]

[“Oh, yeah, sure.”]

“Guess there’s nothing we can do.”

Successfully securing the firearms, we were now set to play a completely different game.

Where we struggled to take down a single zombie before, we could now mercilessly massacre them.

[“But we don’t have a lot of ammo, so it’s better to conserve as much as possible. And gunshots will attract more zombies.”]

Bumhyeon warned.

Of course, Kim Jae-min ignored him.

Bang!

[“Ah, this is it.”]

– Hahahahaha


– You’re so bold.

Given that my reason for joining For Men’s was to blow away zombies with a gun, I also happily pulled the trigger alongside Kim Jae-min.

[Ahhhh!]


[Bang!]

Where did the initial horror atmosphere go? We breezed through the subway platform, shooting every visible zombie.

[“This is so much fun.”]

“I agree.”

We charged towards the episode’s clear point, not just because we got guns, but suddenly our members worked together more effectively.

After getting our firearms, NyuyeNyuye, who had previously always been panicking and flustered, started to show her true capabilities.

[“…You shoot pretty well?”]

[“Ah… I’ve played some FPS games.”]

[“Haha…”]

– Bumhyeon seems to be getting surprised often today, LOL


– Nyuye can shoot alright.


– She’s good only outside of melee combat, though LOL


– Nyuye’s carrying us.

– Is this… royal carry?

After cutting down the zombies, we found ourselves at the last point of the first episode.

About 1 hour and 30 minutes.

That was how long it took us to clear the first subway episode of For Men’s.

– What’s going on? Was it this easy originally?


– But the host’s shot skills are insane.


– Going around popping zombies’ heads with a pistol.

– For real, a headhunter!

The audience’s reactions were also positive.

[“Wow, we finally cleared it. Shall we go for the next episode right away?”]

“No way. Today’s broadcast stops here.”

[“Aww, come on, let’s do more. It’s a holiday after all.”]

“I’m going to sleep.”

[“Tch.”]

Bumhyeon remarked.

[“Are we really stopping here?”]

“Ah, yes. Everyone worked hard today. It was fun. Let’s do this again next time.”

[“Thank you for your hard work!”]

“Thank you, Nyuye. You shot really well.”

[“Ah, no! How could I…?”]

The For Men’s broadcast was a success.

Most importantly, I had a lot of fun too.

“So let’s do this again next time.”

[“Yes. I’ll cheer for Outlaw and Jaem-min. OLZ fighting!”]

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

[“Thanks!”]

In a cheerful atmosphere, I wrapped up the For Men’s session with NyuyeNyuye and Bumhyeon.

After they left the voice chat, naturally, only Kim Jae-min and I remained.

[“Are you going to sleep now, brother?”]

“Uh, why?”

[“I was thinking… maybe we could duo?”]

“With you?”

[“…What do you mean by that?”]

“I was just wondering if we could duo together.”

[“Hah… you’re totally underestimating me.”]

– Hahahahaha


– Oh LOL, you can’t act tough here.


– Isn’t there a thousand points difference between your scores?


– Isn’t that basically a Bronze and Dia difference? Hahahaha


– If it’s Bronze 1 and Dia 4, it could be possible…?


– LOL, Bronze player!

I said,

“Everyone, I’ll stop here for today. Tomorrow… is uncertain, but see you next time! Great job today, everyone!”

After the broadcast, I jumped onto my bed.

Tomorrow, the final match for the promotion series will finally take place.
