The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 207

207.

“Why were you dragged away by Charlie? And what’s with the spiderweb?”

“Seriously, were you really doing card scams in the middle of all this?”

“Why not? You need to prepare for card scams to replenish your power. Nothing is as perfect and thrilling as card scams, you little rascal.”

“? Why are you suddenly so aggressive? Are you from the gacha [gambling-like system] gallery?”

“But he’s kind of right. Skill is a big deal.”

The absurd sightings didn’t end there.

“Huh? I think I saw him at the enhancement center.”

“? The enhancement center? Wasn’t that when he had the enhancement battle with Leon?”

“Nah, he refused the Aison disciple position and left, but came back about an hour ago. He was grinning from ear to ear, talking to Killhee. Killhee gave him a thumbs up.”

“……?”

Users who had witnessed Kaiser seized the opportunity to share their stories.

“Huh? I saw him in the boss zone.”

“If it’s a boss zone worth going to now… that cave?”

“Yeah. I went into the cave because the boss had respawned, and the boss was completely devastated. He was leisurely leaving, saying his performance was solid, and I almost crapped my pants from his force.”

From Killhee’s thumbs up at the enhancement center to the boss devastation rumors.

The reported locations were all different, even though they happened in a short period.

“When was that?”

“Uh… maybe about an hour ago? A little less? I don’t know… around that time.”

“Damn it, should I believe this or not? They all saw him an hour ago, is Kaiser some kind of Hong Gildong [a legendary Korean Robin Hood figure]?”

“But it’s also kind of like something Kaiser would do, so it’s ambiguous. All the rumors we didn’t believe before turned out to be true.”

However, all those things seemed to have happened simultaneously, so everyone couldn’t hide their bewildered feelings.

Like one of the chats said, it was hard to believe that he was Hong Gildong.

As the story went around and around, the question eventually converged into one.

“So, what is he doing now?”

“He went to the hot spot, enhancement center, and boss room an hour ago. What about now?”

“Has anyone seen him since then? Even something you overheard is fine.”

“I haven’t seen him.”

“I haven’t heard anything either.”

What could Kaiser, who was moving so busily, be doing now?

But no one knew what he was up to after that.

At this point, opinions were divided.

He really ran out of playtime and logged out.

No. If it’s Kaiser, he must be up to something unusual.

“Ugh, what is that bastard doing? I’m going crazy with frustration.”

And in the Babylon Guild master’s office.

Astar, the owner of the armory, who was tired of hearing the conflicting opinions, closed the God of Creation community window.

Astar was going crazy right now.

He sent him plenty of enhancement stones and materials to enhance, but out of the blue, he had an enhancement battle with the artisan, and then Aison appeared and offered him a disciple position…

‘He even won the enhancement battle against the artisan? Him? And why is Aison showing up?’

Everything was full of things he couldn’t understand.

The Kaiser that Astar knew wasn’t like that.

Not only was he good at hitting the boss’s weak spots, but he was also incredibly good at hitting the weapon’s weak spots, the god of misfortune who broke everything he swung his hammer at.

He should have reached +10 at least once, but he had never even come close.

That was the Kaiser that Astar knew.

“But what? Enhancement is just a hobby? Who cries so much over a hobby?”

That alone was enough to ask a mountain of questions, but why were these Hero Guild guys suddenly going on a rampage and posting an official announcement?

Moreover, seeing that they specifically pointed out tomorrow, they must have checked our schedule before posting it.

‘I can’t cancel this and help him…’

That would be too obvious.

So, he was going to have him stop by the guild for a bit or announce that he had officially made some kind of deal.

That way, he could buy some time, even if only a little.

He had used his brain in his own way, but…

[Whisper to Player ‘Kaiser’.]

[The target has not enabled the whisper function.]

“Ugh, why doesn’t he allow whispers?”

The whisper function is turned off, and I have no idea where he is now…

Frustratingly, there was no way to contact him.

“Has this bastard never used the whisper function because he has no friends?”

…If Do-hyun had been listening, he would have been hit right on the mark. Astar, who grumbled those words, was about to sit down on his chair when.

Ding-

“Huh? Ding?”

Hoping that he had turned on the whisper function, Astar hurriedly opened the system window, and his eyes widened.

“No, what is this!?”

The notification was from Kaiser.

But it was a type of notification that Astar had never expected.

And it wasn’t just Astar who received it.

Ding-

“Huh? Notification?”

“What notification? I didn’t get anything.”

“No… I connected to God of Creation a while ago, just a moment.”

From users in the Empire to users in other cities.

Ding-

-Huh? Hey, my phone just got a notification.

-You too? Me too.

-What is it, a NewTube [in-game streaming platform] live broadcast notification. This isn’t the time to watch something like this… Huh?

-Crazy… is this real?

Even the community, which was buzzing with conversation.

They paused at the notification that rang at the same time and were soon shocked.

The notification that appeared in front of them.

Its identity was a live broadcast.

In this generation that loves NewTube, a live broadcast notification might not be a big deal, but if you look at the channel name that started the live broadcast, you’ll change your mind.

[KaiserTV is live broadcasting.]

[Title: Tomorrow? No, Today.]

Because it was a live broadcast from Kaiser’s channel, which was a hot topic.

-Crazy, Kaiser started a live broadcast!

-Huh!?

-ㅁㄴㅇㅁㄴㄹ This is crazy… This isn’t the time for this, I’m going to watch the broadcast…

-That bastard left without finishing his chat. But I’m curious. I’m going too ㅅㄱ [short for “see ya” in Korean].

-What’s the title? I’m too curious to resist. I have to go too.

-What, I want to go too.

-Me too, me too!

This news spread quickly, and people left at a rate that was fast enough to blow up all the community rooms.

“Hey, I can’t do this. I’m logging off.”

“? Why?”

“I have to watch the broadcast.”

“…You’re quitting in the middle of a quest to watch a broadcast? Are you crazy…”

“Kaiser live.”

“You crazy bastard, why are you telling me now? I’m logging off first…”

Not only that.

Users who were logged in also logged out one by one, and this news was even conveyed to Verze, who was holding a press conference.

“…Therefore, we plan to proceed with Kaiser’s assassination tomorrow, so we ask for your understanding… Yes? A live broadcast? …Kaiser, you say?”

Verze’s appearance, frowning and answering in the middle of the story, was being officially broadcast.

The reporters’ murmurs grew louder, and some even left the press conference.

At first, it was a minority.

“…What? Is that real?”

“Where is Kaiser right now?”

“Wow… Kaiser is really crazy.”

“This isn’t the time to be here. Let’s go over there before it’s too late.”

But as time went on, the murmuring grew louder, and soon the reporters began to leave their seats in droves.

The main reporter, flustered by the sudden situation during the live broadcast, hurriedly tried to control the situation.

“Uh… Hero Guild Master Verze has an urgent matter to attend to. We will visit you again later.”

With that, the reporter abruptly stopped the interview, and Verze opened his mouth as if he was dumbfounded.

“? What are you talking about suddenly…”

“This isn’t the time for this, Verze. You should clean up quickly too. You’ll thank me.”

But before that sentence could be finished, the main reporter, who had boldly cut it off, began to pack his bags and leave in a hurry.

A situation that could be called a broadcasting accident.

Verze had a blank look on his face at the most absurd press conference he had ever experienced while running the Hero Guild.

‘What’s going on again? Kaiser started a live broadcast? What does that have to do with me…’

As he was uttering his doubts, a whisper came urgently.

-Ma, Master. Emergency!

-Kaiser is here…

The moment he heard that, something flashed through his mind, and Verze’s expression hardened.

Without hearing anything more, Verze hurriedly logged out and immediately turned on NewTube.

[KaiserTV channel is live broadcasting.]

Just like the reporters said, a live broadcast was on.

-Crazy, it’s Kaiser!

-Where is that? I’ve never seen it before. It’s frustrating because all I can see is the forest.

-Is that a cliff? What is it? Why is he in a place like that.

-Kaiser-nim [term of endearment], I’m a fan!

-Kyaaaa, oppa [term used by younger women to address older men]!!!

-Hey, you crazy bastard! Where are you!

The number of viewers and chats were constantly increasing, making it dizzying, but Verze couldn’t blink an eye.

Because Verze knew the location that everyone was curious about.

‘That’s not…’

There’s no way he wouldn’t know.

Because it was a place he always looked at through the window in the guild office.

In other words, the place where Kaiser is now is the cliff at the end of the mountain behind the Hero Guild’s headquarters.

‘Why is that bastard there…!’

At the unexpected situation, Verze bit his lip anxiously.

“Ah.”

Kaiser opened his mouth.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Kaiser.”

-Kyaaaaaaaaa!!!

-ㅇㄹ힝ㅁ날;ㅏᅥᆸㄷ;f [gibberish expressing excitement]

-Kaiser-nim, why are you there!? Did you see the Hero Guild’s announcement?

At the same time, a flood of chats came up.

One might be distracted by the chaotic chat, but Kaiser, who glanced at it and ignored it, calmly continued what he had to say.

His calm tone was full of composure.

“I saw the Hero Guild’s position. They’ve made me out to be a complete criminal… Well, I can accept that much.”

“…….”

“However… this is a bit strange.”

Because he was filming in selfie mode, it was as if he was talking face to face.

“Is there really a need for tomorrow? If you’ve already drawn your sword, you should cut something quickly.”

Perhaps that’s why. Verze felt a strange feeling.

The way he raised the corners of his mouth while saying that was as if he was mocking him.

Squeeze-

‘What kind of show is he trying to put on again.’

Verze, who was grinding his teeth at the unpleasant feeling, soon couldn’t help but doubt his eyes.

Whirr-

The camera’s perspective, which had been in selfie mode, changed to the rear, and Kaiser suddenly approached the edge of the cliff.

Then, the Hero Guild’s guild castle unfolded.

From the scenery of the guild castle to the guild members who were busily moving inside, everything was clearly visible.

-That’s… the Hero Guild, right?

-Wow, there was a place like this.

-Didn’t you know? The Hero Guild’s back mountain is famous. There were a lot of complaints that they chose the wrong location, but they ignored it because they thought there was no crazy bastard who would dare to spy on the top 100 guilds from there…

-That crazy bastard was here.

Viewers who were seeing this place for the first time were purely impressed, and those who had known about this place before were impressed in a different sense.

Everyone had a moment of admiration for a while.

Soon, they couldn’t help but be puzzled.

-But why is he showing us this?

-That’s… true? Why is he even there in the first place?

-Hey, could this be…?”

Why is he in that place.

Why is he showing this scene at this timing, and why is the broadcast title ‘Tomorrow? No, Today.’?

“Kaiser assassination notice?”

It didn’t take long to realize that.

“No.”

Because Kaiser, who laughed as if it was ridiculous, told them directly.

He said it with a perfectly natural and calm look, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
