The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting

The strategy for <Jump Emperor 2> was very simple.

All you had to do was understand the obstacles and terrain well and then jump with the right amount of force.

The most important thing in this game was not to be greedy.

The saying, “the safest path is the fastest path,” was made for this situation.

As soon as I officially started the game, I began a play style as hearty as a bowl of gukbap.

-ㄷㄷ

-Gukbap is indeed hearty.

-Why is this guy jumping one step at a time like such a coward?

-LOL, if I were next to him, I’d want to punch him in the face.

-A former top laner being a coward in this world?

-Wow, did he really just start playing?

I couldn’t believe there were people calling me a coward.

As soon as I saw those chats, I decided to do something special for showmanship.

“Watch closely, those who call me a coward.”

The special move I had prepared for them.

It was none other than a somersault jump.

A somersault where I twisted my body about twice in the air.

In reality, this would be an impossible move due to the laws of physics, but in this game, it was definitely possible.

Whirrr.

My body beautifully rotated in the air.

I moved in a graceful curve like a rhythmic gymnast.

Of course, it was a move that did nothing to help the game’s progress.

A viewer who saw this useless move mercilessly threw a donation.

‘Shia-dam-dang-il-jin’ donated 1,000 won!

[Noona! Stop messing around! Every time I see you mess around, I want to kill you!]

This ‘nyang’ meme was something that had become frequent in my chat room after ‘that incident’ last time.

It was a terrible meme that used ‘nyang’ at the end of sentences, imitating a cat’s sound.

I looked at that dreadful meme with disgust and casually raised my middle finger.

Then, I continued jumping calmly while checking the map.

This game was always a battle against oneself.

It had only been 10 minutes since I started the game when I passed through the <Countryside Road> and entered the <Sewers>.

I entered the <Sewers> without a single mistake, and the viewers who had hoped for my fall were all getting annoyed.

They were people who expected my suffering, but since I wasn’t suffering, they couldn’t help but get angry.

“Modern people have a lot of anger inside, don’t they? Especially when it’s me. How could I be bad at a game like this?”

At this pace, it seemed possible to clear the game in less than two hours.

I wondered about Husu’s progress.

When I opened the Twipod program to check Husu’s stream, I saw that he had also just entered the <Sewers>.

His speed wasn’t much behind mine.

This bastard.

He was playing with all his might.

After watching Husu’s play for a moment, I smirked and nodded.

Then, without stopping, I began to conquer the <Sewers> bit by bit.

Well, it was a much easier game than I thought.

I just had to jump lightly and land well.

Of course, there were a few traps here and there prepared to drop the player into the abyss.

Especially, the subtly smeared oil was truly nasty.

But it didn’t matter.

Other streamers had already checked this area several times, and there was nothing that could hinder me, at least in this section.

Everything was going according to plan.

All according to my plan.

The streamer who was currently ranked first had just passed the fourth section, <City>, a little while ago, so the challenge didn’t seem too difficult.

Husu’s 1 million won, and the challenge amount of 10 million won.

They were all mine.

This time, I was going to earn a lot of money and eat some Korean beef.

[Challenges are the privilege of the brave. But there’s always a price to pay for challenges. Will you be able to succeed in this challenge? Our developers always applaud the players’ spirit of challenge.]

As I entered the <Sewers> in earnest, that damn narration started again.

The developers of this game must have thoroughly researched what makes people the angriest.

-Every time I hear the narration, it really pisses me off.

-Do you know what’s more annoying? Every time you return to the beginning village, it says, ‘Oh, try better next time!’

-LOL

-Seeing our villain get angry at that voice is going to be legendary.

-LOL

-It’d be legendary if he gets angry LOL

-Hey! Dong-su from the next village returned to the beginning village again LOL

-Shia-mit-Kan LOL

-Hasn’t it been 5 hours there?

-LOL

A few kind viewers sent donation messages with Dong-su’s voice.

‘Neighbor-gone-crazy’ donated 10,000 won!

[No, this fucking trash game! Why is there oil there? Huh? Where is this company located? Australia? Fuck, I’m getting a visa to Australia right now. What? Working holiday? Holiday my ass, I’ll make sure the developers spend their whole lives in hell!]

“Oh shit! He seems really pissed. That’s Dong-su’s real temper?”

It was the same voice that Dong-su used when he was really angry.

He had been similarly angry when I betrayed him before, and hearing that same voice now, it seemed his anger was at the same level.

I nodded while listening to that voice.

“Gotta be a god game.”

If a game makes players angry, it’s a god game.

Fucking horrible game = best game.

This formula was essentially correct.

Still, hearing Dong-su’s angry voice put me in a great mood.

Now, I’ll slowly pick up the pace…….

Slip!

“……Huh?”

Just when I was about to happily move on to the next section.

I suddenly felt a strange sensation in my foot, and when I closed and opened my eyes again, I was ‘there.’

……What?

What the hell happened……!

-First season, first to the beginning village

-LOL

-This guy thought he wouldn’t fall LOL

-Oh, did you not ‘preview’ that part?

-LOL

-Characteristic of a careless person: beginning village

-LOL, all physical abilities exposed?

“Damn it, this fucking trash…….”

With the highest praise from my mouth, the ‘First Clear Challenge’ began to fade into the labyrinth.

Damn it.

4.

“Seriously, this game is such a fucking trash game, right?”

Physical skills?

Physical skills weren’t the issue.

I reassessed my evaluation of this game.

Yeah, this game had never been just about physical skills.

Time attacks and such challenges started to appear after some time had passed since the game’s release.

No, what’s with jumping and landing exactly where there’s oil and crows?

If you collide with a crow, it flies up and pushes your body away.

Fucking crows, fucking oil.

My current count of returns to the beginning village: 3 times.

The last time I returned to the beginning village was right at the entrance to the <City>.

Thinking back on that situation made me angry already.

There was only one thing that comforted me.

-LOL, Nyang-Gae-Jwa is already at the sixth return to the starting village this season?

– Breaking News: Kan’s nineteenth return to the starting village this season. Declares to set the game company on fire.

– Na-young fled after two hours of joining the war.

– Na-young: This game was made by the biggest trash in the world. I’m giving up on this trash game!

– Escaping Jump Emperor is based on intelligence.

– LOL

The comforting thing was that other streamers were suffering along with me.

No, the VR version was even harder than the PC version.

The PC version was in third person, so you could see where the traps were set in advance, but the VR version was in first person, so you couldn’t see where the traps were.

Jump game, my ass.

This game was definitely not a jump game.

It was a game of awareness.

With a sigh, I barely managed to jump over the last land in the <City> and moved on to the next stage.

The fifth stage was <Mountain Path>.

From the fifth stage, the path to the snowy mountain opened up, and as expected, that damn narration voice started again.

[The grand journey begins. What kind of adventure will unfold for you who have left the city? This is also a trial to test your patience. What kind of……]

“Hey, can’t you skip this narration? Why do I have to hear it every time I come here?”

– To make you angry.

– LOL, it’s to piss you off.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

– The developer’s email inbox will explode today, LOL.

– But the guy who recorded the narration seems to be deliberately speaking so annoyingly to enjoy it.

– LOL

‘Guk-bong-mission-man’ donated 100,000 won!

[Just finished my work, why are you still in a similar spot? Did something happen?]

Sung-soo hyung’s donation somewhat comforted my depressed heart.

No matter how hard and tired I was, reactions were reactions.

I had to do it properly to get more donations.

With the last bit of my professional spirit, I forced a smile.

“Thank you for the donation, haha! There was a bit of an accident, haha! But I promise not to disappoint you from now on!”

‘Guk-bong-mission-man’ donated 100,000 won!

[LOL, that’s a lie, LOL. I saw all of you returning to the starting village live, LOL.]

– LOL

– Lie, LOL

– GURANDENG!

– Is our chairman doing financial treatment, or is it financial assault? LOL

– Isn’t that guy the CEO of SD Corporation?

– What does that have to do with anything, LOL

I didn’t expect even Sung-soo hyung to tease me like this.

Phew! This content was really made to make the streamer suffer.

Honestly, I never dreamed I’d suffer this much.

Even if others didn’t, I thought I could overcome it with my physical skills……

Was it because I lacked preparation?

Maybe I should have given up the challenge and watched more strategy videos.

As I’ve said many times, my specialty isn’t flashy physical skills. It’s checking the strategy and clearing the game better than anyone else using that strategy.

Of course, I was confident in my physical skills too, but there were limits in a game filled with this many traps.

Hoo.

Alright, let’s play as calmly as possible.

It’s not too late yet.

The world’s number one player just reached stage six, so the possibility of being first hadn’t disappeared yet.

I lightly slapped my cheeks and steeled my resolve.

I didn’t feel the pain like in reality, but the act itself had meaning.

I would definitely, definitely repay this humiliation.

With that, I re-entered stage five, recalling all the traps I had identified so far.

It was an area with a few deadly traps.

But since I had already identified most of the traps, I smoothly passed through the terrain like a parkour athlete.

I even avoided the crow trap that had sent me to the starting village last time, and eventually, I managed to pass the hellish <Mountain Path> area within 20 minutes of starting stage five.

Now, I wasn’t far behind the leader.

Stage six was labeled <Entrance>, probably meaning the entrance to the <Snowy Mountain>.

Hoo.

Always be careful when entering a new area……

Whoosh!

“Damn it.”

– Wow, LOL

– How did he avoid that?

– Why are there spears flying at you on a mountain, LOL

– How do you dodge this????

– His reaction speed is almost beast-like, LOL

The moment I stepped forward, three spears flew at me from the front.

The spears flew at me so quickly that I barely had time to blink.

I barely managed to dodge the spears by dropping to the ground and sighed in relief.

But those spears.

“Where’s the game company’s address? What kind of trashy mountain is this in the world……”

They were just a harbinger of the death race that was about to unfold.
