Chapter 16 – 16. Nucleosphere Debris Guillotine Match (1)
Lee Ji-hye, who just turned 20 this year.
Her childhood was aptly described by the word ‘unhappiness’.
The situation at home was truly pitiful.
She had to take responsibility for her three younger siblings instead of her parents, who had fled leaving only the light.
Her first sister, a year younger than her, had been extremely timid since childhood, and her younger brother, two years younger, was a bully who hung out with her naughty children.
In addition, her second sister was congenitally ill and was hospitalized, so Lee Ji-hye’s life did not belong to her.
From a very young age, she did whatever she could to earn her money, and was often caught stealing from others.
Money, money, money.
His money was the problem.
Then she discovered the natural talent given to her.
Being smarter than others.
Thanks to that, she was able to get everything sorted out no matter what she did.
Even at the prestigious universities she attended to receive scholarships and grants, she always maintained high grades.
The game ‘Arena’ was just a test run to receive a high prize money, but she was able to claim victory without working very hard, so she received a high fee and joined the gaming team.
She wasn’t very interested in the game, but the amount offered was so high, and it was a team that was run roughly for noise marketing, so she didn’t hesitate.
The part-time job was also easy.
There were always housewives looking for her smart teacher.
She took on more than enough of her tutors and managed to keep up with her busy schedule.
Of course, she still had no money to gather.
Even if she earns like a dog, her second sister’s hospital bills and her younger brother’s childish accident were nothing left in her pocket. Besides, she had to save her big money to send her oldest sister to her college.
She endured and endured.
She wasn’t even angry with her younger siblings.
Before she knew it, the reason for her existence was her younger siblings.
If it weren’t for her younger siblings, she would have no reason to live anyway.
“……”
Lee Ji-hye looked sadly at the text message sent to her cell phone.
Of course, she didn’t have any friends, so her cell phone was always full of money text messages, but this time it was different.
It was a text from her coach, Kim Jeong-soo.

‘The amount is no joke…’
At first, I thought it was a joke because the mission money was so big.
However, the moment she completed her first mission, ‘Accepting the Mission’, after seeing the 100,000 won deposited in her bank account, she realized that the offer was not a joke thrown by her coach.
‘How much money do you have?’
For Lee Ji-hye, who did not know that Kim Jeong-soo was the second generation of a conglomerate, she could only guess that she had made a lot of money by winning the Arena World Championship.
In any case, this was a truly unconventional proposal.
The total mission amount was 3.8 million won.
It was an amount that she could n’t easily earn even if she ran her tutoring to her bones her and tightened her belt and saved money.
Of course, it wasn’t just the burning desire.
It was because coach Kim Jeong-soo’s intention was so obvious.
Knowing that she is poor, the idea of subduing her to capitalism and making her obedient.
If you make a mistake, your nose will be pierced, and you will not be able to disobey the coach’s words in the future.
For example, you can catch a weakness by betting a difficult mission.
Making them do illegal things or taking naked pictures.
If she bet on an irresistible amount and future missions, will she be able to coolly refuse?
Maybe you can give a mission by aiming for a big hospital bill.
Lee Ji-hye was not sure that if that situation came to her, she would be able to stop doing this clown without any regrets.
‘……But I don’t mind right now.’
Kwak…
The team members were sleeping soundly even in the shaking car.
However, Lee Ji-hye couldn’t sleep because of all the thoughts.
She made up her mind, clenching her fists as if they were bleeding.
Coach Kim Jung-soo.
He seemed to know what he was thinking.
That’s a lot of money, right?
If that’s the case, I’d rather suck the soul from this side.
Lee Ji-hye gnashed her teeth as she glared at the back of the head of the coach in her passenger seat.
‘I will be your slave. Until I smash the back of your head… ‘
In her mind, Seoyoon Ryu’s legs, which she had seen in her dressing room in the afternoon, came to mind.
That leg is clearly the mark of being beaten by the coach. If you boil and boil Ryu Seo-yoon a little, he will tell you about the hidden truth.
Then, at that moment, all you have to do is record Ryu Seo-yoon’s confession.
Also, the coach will continue to give missions like this every time in the future.
When he orders a mission that is legally illegal or morally questionable, that too becomes material to bring him down.
After sucking up his money for a while by fitting in with his shady taste, he will also hold the line of his life through the weapons he has gathered like this.
###
2:3 score.
Ryu Seo-yoon and me’s 1-on-1 mid-bread was becoming evenly boiling before I knew it.
These days, unless I brought a new AD, half the score was barely enough.
Thanks to this, the number of swinging the cane at dawn has drastically decreased.
Her growth was definitely a joy, but somehow it left me feeling a bit regretful.
The reason was that it became difficult to see her expression of disintegration after being whipped.
“That’s too bad. Losing twice was just the difference.”
In her elation she said, raising her head.
She herself seems to be proud of her own skills of her, which have increased over the past few days.
I lightly touched her forehead.
“Not there yet. A win rate of 50% against the coach is not enough.”
“Whoops, and what?”
“And…”
I looked at Ryu Seo-yoon, who seemed strangely happy.
She was now a woman whose expression did not wrinkle even at her tolerable scolding her.
No, is the intensity of my selling insufficient?
Taking advantage of her panic her, she takes a step closer.
“Do you have any more feedback?”
“……”
It was absurd, but it became a situation where she had to rack her brains to find out what to sell.
I couldn’t ignore the look in her eyes that wanted feedback.
I somehow got my head rolling.
“When I bring out a character I did before after a long time, I always start losing the first game. It means that the number of plates is still infinitely insufficient. Did you think you got out of the original character? I know your subject because I still can’t do it.”
“All right.”
Nod
She lowers her head indifferently to her high-level and intense selling her.
What. Have you really gotten used to my rants?
Can you do this?
“I mean work hard so that you can play with your eyes closed. If you don’t want to be weeded out in an instant due to lack of physical strength, don’t hang around like a pig during break time.”
“Whoa… Yes, pig… I will work hard to become a pig.”
[I sold Ryu Seo-yoon. Growth rate increases by 20%.]
[Ryu Seo-yoon’s obedience has increased by 5.]
[She earned 2 sell points.]
Gently closing her eyes, she nodded her head again.
She muttered to herself, ‘Pig, I am a pig,’ getting a little goosebumps at her chewing back her.
Do I have to say that I’m better than before when I get angry and leave the practice room?
This is because now I often show an attitude of concentration by carving my rants into my bones.
Anyway, her growth rate her was going well, so she decided not to worry too much about it.
“Now, let’s practice against bots from today.”
Leaving Ryu Seo-yoon who was lost in her own world alone, she looked at the rest of her team and said.
The players nodded.
In general, bot warfare in general games was a game method often used by beginners.
It is a match with the AI provided in the game, but the decisions of the Als are simple, and even if they are physically good, there are many cases where they cannot show human movements.
However, in ‘Arena’, the AI performance was excellent.
Whether it is artificial intelligence or deep learning, perhaps thanks to the past when AI has been in the spotlight for a while, even bots that show similar movements to professional players have appeared.
In addition, it is possible to set detailed movement or behavior patterns, so there were many cases in which pro teams in the 1st division also used bot battles.
“I’ll set you up according to the opponent team for the Round of 16, so just do what you normally do.”
“Yes”
The players who answered briefly went back into the capsule.
I also went into a capsule reserved for coaches and opened a ‘custom game’.
I was thinking of setting up the bots similarly to our Round of 16 opponent, ‘Are you watching Nuclear?’.
Just yesterday, the names and rosters of all 16 teams participating in the tournament were revealed through Hackgu’s broadcast.
Among them, our opponent is at the level of a group of ordinary people who are good at games.
‘Are you looking at the nuclear sphere?’ The team’s tendency was meticulously set for each line.
I had prepared the setting values in advance, so I only had to enter the values.
After about 10 minutes, the setting was finished.
I made sure all the players were in the room and the game started.
And three game results.
We were able to win 3-0.
###
That evening.
After taking a cool bath, I sat on the bed and opened my laptop.
Today’s work is all over.
After practicing with the players, Ryu Seo-yoon also returned after being hit in the thigh.
Now it was only my time.
Originally, I would have gone to bed early. But today I had a lot of work to do, so I put off sleeping.
Unlike athletes, coaches are not all about practice.
Through communication with the coach and front desk, we had to continue to fill in the missing parts of the game team, and we should not miss the meta analysis of the game and the analysis of the opposing team.
Besides, tomorrow was the first day of the tournament.
Since we play on the day of the opening match, we have to prepare for the match tomorrow.
In preparation for that, we needed to check our strategy last, and we needed to look at the internal and external atmosphere.
Click.
I turned on the past broadcast of the nucleus.
It was a group draw that took place a few days ago.
“Hello, Haengnimdeul! Nuclear balls and steamed salt!”
[Nuclear sphere Shivalum. Aren’t you going to broadcast soon? This bastard is full haha]
[Are we drawing for the tournament today? Ask the fifth.]
[What kind of competition~ That kind of competition~ What kind of hack~ That kind of thing Retirement~ That Jeopardy Retirement~]
[That little bastard]
A streamer named Haek-gu appeared with the chatting speed bewildering.
A man wearing only a running shirt with his short sports hair brushed his hair and raised his finger in the middle of his head.
“No, dogshy~ You’re only 10 minutes late! Why are you fucking?!”
I tapped the arrow keys on the keyboard and quickly flipped through the videos.
The guy named Haek-gu talking started about the contest only after fighting with the viewers for 30 minutes while writing a lot of evil.
“Ruler! A guest has arrived to help with the group draw today! Come on, Happy Life! Houuuuu!”
“Oh, hello~”
The legendary support player Happy Life has appeared.
When she appeared with her short hair, her chat window she became more active.
[Eyes ah ah ah ah]
[This bastard prepared a lot today.]
[Such a precious person in a shabby place… ]
[100,000 won if you hit the core of the pit very hard]
Happy Life, like me, was a first-generation pro gamer in Arena.
Now, like me, he has retired and appeared on internet broadcasts and game commentary.
When I met as an enemy in the tournament, he was the most feared supporter.
She was a female gamer, but she was like a sharp knife with physicality and judgment that exploded at critical moments.
Because of this, the fan base is also thick.
Soon after, in the broadcast, Happy Life started to take the ball out of the box.
When the ball was pulled open, a piece of paper with a number was revealed.
“Ah! Ansan-si spicy pork feet team!”
When the unheard of team came out, the tuk-tuk video was skipped over again.
Our team was voted third.
“Keuuu~ This team is finally here! A team made entirely of women! Battle Angels!”
[Hyeji team came out]
[Do you have an after party after the nuclear ball competition? We must unite.]
[I look forward to how much it will work lol]
[Let’s change the size of the cam screen and the game screen only for this game]
As expected, a chat window showing an obvious reaction.
I wasn’t expecting much either. However, those who seriously crossed the line had the idea to gather and sue them someday.
My players could sell only me.
And then the draw for our opponent team took place.
“The team that will face the Battle Angels is the team that is~~ Ahhhhh, are you looking at the nuclear sphere?” No, but it’s Shii-Bal, it’s Gaeshy~. Did I tell you not to put my name in the team name or not?! If you do this, you’ll know that this is a team I made, Si-Berloms!”
[This bastard of the nuclear sphere will give a biased commentary again]
[River of 16 Gakkul~ Nuclear insects, let’s go~]
[Hyeji team cry and be gentle.]
[The nucleus is so damn hot]
Feeling a little bad, I turned off the video that had been playing for a while.
I will change it to that contempt, disregard, and cheers.
After a bit of a cheesy decision, I laughed.
Then he opened the strategy notes.
Shall we review the strategy again?
It was then.
The bell that had nothing to ring at this hour rang.
I closed the notebook again and headed for the intercom.
‘Who is this at this hour?’
Looking at the video on the intercom, I saw Ryu Seo-yoon standing in front of the front door.
After thinking for a moment, I opened the front door.
