of Pure Water (4)

Yattaman was restless.

"Softmobile! Please, just a bit faster! I'm falling further behind Purple!"

Metal Punch wasn't a game he usually enjoyed. So, as soon as he heard about Lee Gyeongbok, he reinstalled the game, but it wasn't installing as fast as he'd hoped.

― Yattamanwwww He's seriously desperate, I burst out laughingwww

― Japan's internet quality, this is just too much!

― Give it up. It's for the best.

― When it comes to internet infrastructure, we've clearly lost to Korea in the rivalrywwww

― Haah-?! Yattaman's a streamer, shouldn't he have the most expensive plan?

― Purplewww is getting way too far awaywww

The viewers laughed at his behavior and blamed Japan's internet environment.

After a long and arduous wait, the installation finally completed.

"I did it! Purple! I'm coming to meet you now!"

― Yattaman's "Yatta!"www He popped off just for installing itwwww

― But he's way too latewwww

― Hey, yattaman. Purple is already far, far away!

― Ah, Purple's speed was always out of this world.

― Red squad and Orange squad can never meet. It's just sadwwww

Yattaman launched Metal Punch but couldn't meet with Lee Gyeongbok. In the meantime, because Lee Gyeongbok kept ranking up, he had already entered the Red Squad.

"What?! Already!? Softmobile...! I believed in youuu!"

Yattaman clutched his head dramatically, causing the chat to fill with laughter.

But Yattaman soon clenched his fist and got back up.

"Ah, but you can't crush my will! I can overcome this gap with perseverance!"

Previously, yattaman had run a stream where he tried to break through the "newbie wall" in Metal Punch. As a result, it had taken him 80 hours to reach the Orange Squad.

"If I chase after Purple even now, I should be able to meet him! Everyone, please cheer me on!"

― Ah, that's so Yattaman.

― You can do it, yattaman!

― Ah, well, Purple's probably going to sleep at some point too.

― But still, it seems easier than Roderi www

With his viewers' encouragement, yattaman started searching for a match to chase after Lee Gyeongbok once again.

* * *

Some regretted Lee Gyeongbok advancing to the Red Squad, but his own viewers felt differently.

― Ultra-fast rank up, is this true or false?!

― Finally, godple is at a stage where he can actually enjoy the game, lol

― For real lol, red Squad is where the experts are for the average player

― So what's it like for Godple's standards?

― Do they count as smart sandbags?

― LOL Are you kidding me? Isn't that too savage? lolol

Up to now, the skill gap between Lee Gyeongbok and his opponents was so huge that only overwhelming victories occurred. But from now on, things were about to change.

― Now isn't this where the fighting game maniacs hang out?

― Yep, now he'll get matched with a lot of Koreans

― Honestly, Japanese users probably didn't recognize Godple so they let their guards down

― For real lol, Korean fighters would never let their guard down against Godple

Lee Gyeongbok himself expressed his anticipation as he read the chat.

"Now I'll finally get to experience the skills of Korean fighting gamers. I'm really curious to see how strong they are."

That drew laughter from the chat, and when a match was finally found, everyone focused their attention on his opponent.

Just as expected, the opponent was Korean.

'What is this?'

But Lee Gyeongbok couldn't actually enjoy it. He felt a strong sense of unpleasantness from his opponent.

'A ragequitter? No, it feels even worse than that.'

Though ragequitting had become less frequent, it hadn't disappeared entirely. But this opponent felt even more unsavory than any ragequitter he'd met before.

'Could it be a sniper?'

While he was still considering other possibilities, the answer appeared in the chat.

― Oh shit, such bad luck right at the start

― Hyung! That jerk is a losing-on-purpose player!

― Wow lol he even got kicked out of his own community, he's a real deal psycho lolol

― That guy is seriously disgusting lol

― If you check his match history, you'll see right away!

A report came in that his opponent deliberately lost games to drop rank, only to beat up lower-skilled players.

Lee Gyeongbok immediately checked the opponent's records.

[Rank – 22nd Dan]

[15,727 Wins]

[Currently on an 81-win streak]

Seeing these stats, even the general viewers instantly understood.

-15k wins? In Red Squad?

― Insane lol what a scumbag

― I mean;;; just how much newbie farming did he do?

― Really? Why is he an actual psycho?!

― Wow, that's just gross lol You'd think even farming gets boring at this point

― Someone needs to break this win streak so bad lol

In any game, "newbie farming"—deliberately seeking only weak opponents—was never welcomed.

Thus, the chat united as one.

― Hyung! Give him a lesson!

― For real lol This guy deserves a sound beating

― Our Godple needs to break his skull!

― We can already see justice being served here

― Time for a spanking, you farming jerk!

Lee Gyeongbok grinned, not just because of their requests, but for other reasons as well.

"Lucky me."

Just as question marks were about to fill the chat, Gyeongbok continued as he selected his character.

"If he's a newbie farmer, that means he's better than most Red Squad fighters, right? This'll be an interesting match."

Newbie farming wasn't possible unless you actually had decent skills. The viewers caught his subtext and laughed.

"Oh? Edward, huh?"

His opponent chose a character that combined dance and martial arts: Capoeira.

― Wow, lol, showing his true colors now

― Edward's patterns are pretty rough to figure out

― Capoeira moves themselves are pretty unpredictable lol

― That jerk definitely checked Godple's match history before picking

― For real lol, he's clearly hoping Godple hasn't fought this type before

The fighting game veterans voiced their concerns, but general viewers felt differently.

― Ah, lol, there's no problem if it's Perfect Kang Neoul!

― If our hyung sees it once, he figures it all out lol

― Perfect Eye, oN!

― Justice will prevail!

Those worries were only based on the standards of "ordinary" players.

While that was happening, the stage changed.

This time, the stage was a stone temple with upright columns on neatly paved floor.

As expected, edward began attacking with unorthodox moves the moment the fight started. He did a handstand, spun around, and kicked with his hips.

Of course, Lee Gyeongbok blocked them easily, but the attacks didn't end there. When the offense was stopped, his opponent immediately transitioned into a low attack.

― Oh;;; I feel dizzy already

― Is it up or down?! Just pick one!

― Seriously lol If you don't know the patterns, you're just going to get smacked

― But look, godple's blocking everything right off the bat?

― Ah, seeing it for the first time but already figured it out. That's Perfect Common Sense (nods)

Despite the irregular onslaught, Gyeongbok successfully blocked using his incredible reflexes.

Not only that, but he also exploited an opening to break the opponent's combo with his own hand.

"Oh?"

But this opponent was different from before. As soon as his combo was broken, edward sidestepped out of the way, blocking the next string of attacks from Lee Gyeongbok.

― He blocked that?

― Damn~ He's actually good, shit

― Why is skill not proportional to personality?

― Yeah, you can see the difference in reaction speed lol

― Meanwhile, godple's enjoying this, right?

-??? : The sandbag?! Is it guarding back!?

Checking chat in between, Gyeongbok commented.

"Ah, he really is skilled. Do you have all of Kang Neoul's skills memorized? Your defense is solid."

The admiration was brief, and Gyeongbok's face hardened. The situation wasn't unfavorable.

'This will turn into a mental battle...'

Both sides ended up at a stalemate. The one to lose concentration first would likely fall.

Lee Gyeongbok didn't want that.

'Not a good look.'

His concern wasn't the match, but the broadcast. He was confident in his mentality, but a match with no solid hits would be boring for viewers.

'A fighting game needs that explosive action.'

So Gyeongbok focused even more. Following his intent, his divine energy swelled.

From the capoeira's dance moves to the undulations of the stone floor and the texture of the pillars—his expanded divine energy gathered information from not only Edward standing in front of him, but the whole area.

'Yeah, this'll do.'

Some of that information settled in Gyeongbok's mind. Smiling slightly, he moved along the path that came to him.

― Beautiful sidestep!

― He's got the flank!

― Is he going airborne already!?

Gyeongbok narrowly dodged Edward's kick and moved to the side. While viewers thought an opportunity had come, edward kept spinning, turning into a windmill that swept the floor.

― Moving sideways isn't that effective against Edward

― If anything, he's lost the tempo here;;

― He should've just blocked and gone for a counter ㅠ

― For real lol, look, edward's chasing right after!

The fighting game veterans thought Gyeongbok made a mistake. Under Edward's continued barrage, Gyeongbok had to focus only on defense, unable to counter.

― This is getting a bit bad, isn't it?

― Yeah, the guard damage has piled up too much

― If this keeps up, isn't he going to lose to timeout?

― He just needs to land one huge hit!

― Hyung! Watch for a counter opportunity!

Blocking wasn't a cure-all.

Even if only a little, guard damage accumulated over time. If things kept going like this, Lee Gyeongbok would lose when the time ran out.

"Of course, I'll need to counter."

He knew that better than anyone. With those words, Gyeongbok jumped to dodge a low attack.

-?

― Hyung?!

― No;;; Not a huge move like that!

― Ah! Godple, senpai! Gaya!

― Nooo, don't do it!

The bigger the move, the bigger the opening if it failed. Even general viewers who weren't fighting game fans knew that.

But this jump was excessively telegraphed. To make matters worse, his opponent surely knew all of Kang Neoul's skills.

"Your mentality is shaky."

As expected, edward immediately pulled back. The opponent seemed to think this was a mistake from Gyeongbok's impatience.

With a taunting voice chat, edward spun to sweep the floor again, ready to strike the instant Gyeongbok landed.

'Gotcha.'

At that moment, Gyeongbok slammed the ground. The situation then unfolded in a completely unexpected way.

With a rumbling roar, the temple floor collapsed.

"Eek?!"

Edward, still in his move, flailed in midair. Gyeongbok beamed as he twisted his waist.

"Keep your mentality in check."

With that, Kang Neoul's airborne spinning kick struck Edward. With a dull sound, edward crashed to the floor and bounced back up.

"Thanks for the match."

Gyeongbok immediately continued the aerial combo upon landing.

-???????

― The floor collapsed!?

― Using the bounce system on day one?

― Wow, damn, is he nuts

― How'd he figure out the collapse point?! It's randomly generated!?

― Crazy lol Isn't this his first time on the temple map?lolol

Only now did the fighting game experts realize what had happened and screamed in disbelief. None of them expected Gyeongbok to exploit the "collapse" gimmick present in only a few stages.

― Our hyung is lucky again?!

― Has Manhae's Godple done it again!?

― Seriously lol If he's not God, what is he then? Lolol

Other viewers simply credited it to Gyeongbok's luck.

"What? I saw it, though?"

But then Gyeongbok's reply brought question marks to the chat. Saw what, exactly?

After quickly inputting a command, he answered again.

"The floor here was slightly sunken downwards. Didn't you see?"

He explained that the collapse point differed from the rest of the floor.

― Eh?

― Wait;;; It's hard enough just barely defending, who has time to observe the stage?

― Your eyes can wander while you're fending off Edward's attacks?

― Eyes! Those eyes again!

― You don't need a replay to trust Godple's words

― For real lol When have our hyung's words ever been wrong?

― Again, the Perfect Eye proves itself

They'd already seen Edward's attacks were unorthodox. The viewers were amazed.

Meanwhile, Gyeongbok pressured Edward all the way to the wall and finished the fight.

[K. O.]

Seeing the victory message on screen, the viewers cheered in relief.

But when Gyeongbok rolled his eyes, the viewers were puzzled. He'd won, so why?

"Did I expect too much? He's a newbie farmer, right? He's not actually that amazing."

Gyeongbok gave a sheepish laugh as he answered the chat.

"Have you been here so long that you've gotten local, or what? Anyway, that was fun."

With those words, laughter spread through the chat, especially among those fighting game veterans who'd suffered at the hands of such players.

― Ah lol That was so on point

― For real lol If you only look down, how are you supposed to rise up lol

― That farming jerk's become a local now lolol

― He says what needs to be said! Perka-Cola!

― Damn lol Now I see why everyone keeps calling him Godple Godple!

As everyone basked in satisfaction, the setting returned to the lobby.

Just then, as Gyeongbok was about to queue for another match—

[A 'Revenge' request has arrived from your previous opponent.]

[〉That wasn't my main, edward. Let's have a real match, shall we?]

When this system message popped up, Gyeongbok's eyes widened.

― Ah lol What a villain, can't admit it right away?

― Once a farmer, always a degenerate!

― Dude, this guy won't come to his senses?

― Getting farmed themselves must be dizzying, huh?

― Not even his main lmao, that's the best excuse he could come up with? Lolol

― Genome, you watching? Soon the "Feeblest in Chu" throne is at risk!

― Why are you attacking Chu guy all of a sudden? Lolol

The viewers sneered at the request, and Gyeongbok let out a chuckle as well.

'Is there any reason to get involved with this?'

Just as he was wondering whether to accept the request—

['YouGotLucky' has proposed a quest!]

[Condition – Achieve 10 straight wins in a "first-to-10" against the newbie farmer]

[Reward – 300,000 KRW]

A fighting game viewer had proposed a quest.

― Ah lol a first-to-10, that's honestly fair!

― Hyung! Don't let that jerk off the hook!

― For real lol Let's stomp him properly this time

― Can't ignore justice, again lol

-???: Is there a fight? Count me in!

― This is gonna be insanely fun lol

And the quest quickly attracted more sponsors.

['RedSquadCleanupCrew' has added to the quest reward.]

[Total reward – 400,000 KRW]

['TurnsOutItWasReallyCleanWater' has added to the quest reward.]

[Total reward – 450,000 KRW]

['MetalPunchBusinessAsUsual^^' has added to the quest reward.]

[Total reward – 500,000 KRW]

...

Once the floodgates opened, the quest reward kept piling up. In no time—

['Let'sSeeIfMoreChuWillCome' has added to the quest reward.]

[Total reward – 2,196,000 KRW]

It surpassed two million won.

Gyeongbok laughed awkwardly, then clicked the accept button.

"Ah, thank you for the quest. Honestly, there's no reason to refuse this."

It wasn't just about the money.

'According to the viewers, there aren't many with better skills than this guy at this point in the ladder.'

It was an opportunity to make money, have fun, and kick out a villain.

So he immediately sent a reply.

[〉First-to-10, all or nothing?]

If the opponent didn't accept, the quest would be cancelled.

As everyone awaited an answer, another message arrived.

[〉Call, lol. This time, no holding back, lolol]

With the opponent's acceptance, the chat filled with celebration.

― Holding back, lolol. Shit lololol

― If he loses, is he just gonna quit watching the stream?

― Ah lol so by "not holding back" he meant not watching the broadcast? Lol

― He's getting banned soon anyway!

― Godple will clean up the Metal Punch scene!

― The Perfect Pure water effect is amazing!

― This is what you call real pure water lol

Everyone was expecting Lee Gyeongbok to bring fresh flow to the stagnant pool that was Metal Punch.
