The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 6

Part 6.

Marty smiled in satisfaction, observing the atmosphere.

Exploration broadcasts inevitably consume a lot of time.

That’s why it’s important to fill the time naturally, and perhaps it’s thanks to Kaiser’s personality?

Even without saying much, reactions explode whenever Kaiser is involved.

‘He’s a cheat code. Is this why they say you need to get famous first?’

Realizing once again why he needed to escape his obscurity, he wondered how long he had been searching for traces.

Exactly 19 minutes and 47 seconds had passed.

[The Explorer’s Sense is reacting sensitively.]

[The Eye of Selection confirms the traces.]

[Related traces have been found.]

“Oh! Everyone, I found it.”

He was able to find the traces faster than expected, and the chat room instantly focused as if they had never been chatting idly.

-Wow, it didn’t even take 20 minutes. Isn’t this the fastest ever?

-I didn’t expect much from a small streamer, but he’s really skilled.

-That’s why Kaiser accepted the collaboration.

-So, is it the left?

-Could it be? LOL

-Tell us quickly, Marty.

-Marty! Marty! Marty! Marty!

It was a speed that even explorers from most top 10 guilds couldn’t achieve.

Marty felt a tickling sensation in his chest because of it.

This exhilarating feeling of something boiling inside him.

Is this what it feels like to be recognized?

[Viewers: 32.145 million]

‘Ah…….’

Proving his abilities to over 32 million people was more than just satisfying; it was almost touching.

How much had he suffered until now?

Now, even the high-nosed [arrogant] explorers from large guilds wouldn’t be able to ignore him.

‘Maybe… I might even get a chance to explore with Barion-nim [esteemed title]?’

The thought alone sent shivers down Marty’s spine, and he swallowed hard before shaking his head.

He needed to be even more careful and do well in times like these.

Marty shrugged his shoulders as if nothing was wrong, pretending it was a natural result, and opened his mouth with a nonchalant expression.

“Well, it’s exactly the time I expected. I’ll have to try harder next time.”

-Yeah, no.

-I saw you shedding tears until just now, what LOL

-32 million people saw it, and he’s still bluffing LOL

-It’s nothing special~ (with a touched face)

Of course, no one bought it.

“Ahem, then shall we check the results?”

Marty coughed awkwardly, changing the subject quickly.

Fortunately, the viewers followed Marty’s lead.

They were just as curious about the results.

‘Well, it’s probably not, but…’

If he had to guess based on the traces, the right side was more likely.

He was carefully checking when…

The moment he confirmed the third trace following the second, and finally the last trace.

“It’s the right… huh?”

Marty frowned and tilted his head without realizing it.

“It’s the left…?”

All the traces were pointing to the first fork in the road.

In other words, the left path that Kaiser had mentioned.

-Kaiser guessed it?

-The God knew everything!

-WTF LOL

-Wow, he’s right.

-Underdogs win!!!

-Didn’t they say Kaiser was unlucky? He’s lucky?

-Look at Kaiser’s expression not changing even in this situation.

The chat room exploded with reactions to the completely unexpected result.

As one viewer said, Kaiser looked extremely calm when he glanced at him.

His expression didn’t change as if he had heard an obvious result.

‘……Is it a coincidence?’

Looking at that expression, he wondered for a moment if he had been aiming for it.

Marty scratched his head with a sullen face for a moment.

‘It must be a coincidence.’

Marty shook his head and shook off his thoughts.

Logically, finding the path in 2 seconds couldn’t be anything but a coincidence.

The viewers’ reactions weren’t bad either, and he had proven his abilities, so it was all good.

Was that why?

-This time, there are three paths.

-Have Kaiser choose first.

-Eh, there’s no way he’ll get it right this time.

-It would be hilarious if Kaiser got it right again LOL

“Shall we? Kaiser-nim, could you choose this time too? Please feel free to choose without feeling pressured.”

“……The right side.”

Marty readily agreed to the viewers’ requests, who had gotten a taste for it, and Kaiser readily complied.

Perhaps because there was one less fork in the road.

-Oh, 14 minutes~

-It seems like he really has top-tier skills, not just saying it?

-Even the top 10 guilds can’t do this well.

-Is our Marty going to become a big shot that we can’t even hire with money later?

‘Yes!’

He found the path in just 14 minutes, renewing his own shortest record, perhaps because he was in good condition today.

-So where is it? Is it the right side again?

-Hurry, hurry, I’m getting dizzy.

-Stop clenching your fist and find the path quickly.

-He really can’t hide his expression. It all shows.

But his joy was short-lived.

“Ahem. Let’s check. Let’s see~ The direction the traces are pointing… hmm?”

Marty’s expression turned sullen as soon as he confirmed the direction.

He blinked his eyes as if doubting them, and even rubbed them, but the result didn’t change.

“……It’s the right side?”

This time too, Kaiser was right.

-Really?

-Who said Kaiser was unlucky? He’s the god of guessing himself?

-OMG OMG

At this point, questions were bound to arise.

‘……He guessed right twice by luck?’

Was it just his imagination that he was drawn to Kaiser’s calm face?

‘……I guess he’s lucky. I guess you can’t trust rumors.’

Still, it was possible up to this point.

It was an area that viewers and Marty could dismiss as ‘Ah, he’s very lucky.’

But they had to know.

How far Kaiser was from luck.

“It’s the left.”

“It’s straight ahead.”

“It’s the second path.”

Twice could be luck.

But what if luck was repeated three, four, and five times?

“Hmm, it’s a tunnel. We have to dig here.”

“…….”

“We have to go up from here.”

“…….”

Moreover, what if he found not only the left and right but also complicated paths?

Could that really be called luck?

-Crazy, what is this LOL

-It’s officially a broadcast where Kaiser finds the way.

-No, was Kaiser an explorer?

-Is this even possible for an explorer? 20 minutes is more like 2 seconds?

-Kaiser, is he really a god? Kaiser, is he really a god? Kaiser, is he really a god?

-Ahem, are there still foolish people who doubt God?

-No, what is this LOL

-Marty’s dumbfounded face is hilarious LOL He’s become a bus passenger [someone who relies on others].

-He was just a quest shuttle [someone who is being carried].

-Marty, aren’t you going to proceed? You have to say something.

-It’s understandable that he’s speechless LOL

Marty, who had been blankly following Kaiser from some point, unable to do anything, couldn’t stand the viewers’ taunts and finally muttered.

“……No, what is this.”

It was a murmur that seemed to contain resentment.

* * *

-OMG, he got it right again.

-Wow, that’s amazing.

-Kaiser, he’s a god! Kaiser, he’s a god! Kaiser, he’s a god!

-Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch!

-Marty, if you have nothing to do, dance next to him.

-He really doesn’t do anything.

-Why not? He’s doing comedy with his expressions.

-It’s hilarious to see his complexion turning pale in real-time LOL

-Our Marty… he was originally a tenacious man who never gave up, but why does he look so pathetic?

Watching the endlessly rising chat, Do-hyun glanced at Marty.

His expression was terrible, as the chat said.

His proud first impression was gone, and he looked like an old man who had lost his dreams and hopes.

He felt sorry for him as he followed without a soul.

‘That’s why I was just keeping my mouth shut.’

When the first fork came out.

Perhaps because he had shared the quest, the Eye of Truth was activated without fail and showed him the way.

He said it was the left side without realizing it, and then he thought, ‘Oops,’ but everyone didn’t believe him, so he tried to pass it off naturally.

Somehow, a bet was placed among the viewers on how far he could get it right, and he kept finding the way.

‘Well… Marty-nim has proven his abilities too.’

It was also an irresistible force, and honestly, he just wanted to level up quickly, so he decided to go this way.

-Is the owner’s personality okay?

-Rijarija…….(Lizardlizard) [Unclear meaning, possibly gibberish or a specific reference within the game/community]

-Outstanding talent will be known to people even if you try to hide it. What can we do if the lord is outstanding?

How long had he been listening to Jihad’s admiration and Charlie’s pride with one ear and quickly moving forward?

-Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser!

-He doesn’t even pretend to look for it anymore? He just glances and finds it in one shot.

-It’s a map hack, really.

-Isn’t the artificial intelligence working? Why aren’t they blocking him when he’s using hacks so blatantly?

-Gaaal!!! It’s not a hack, it’s the power of God!

-Marty, hurry up and catch up. You keep missing Kaiser.

“……How did I…… I also…… I’m also good at finding paths…….”

Marty, who initially wanted to be active in any way, now seemed to have given up, sighing and following along.

After passing about 5 forks, two tunnels, and three vines.

Marty suddenly felt something strange.

‘What is it? Can the path be this difficult?’

He expected it to be difficult since it was a path found by a legendary explorer.

The fact that the quest’s grade was heroic just for finding the path said it all.

But… this is too difficult even considering that.

‘The path is twisted in an absurd way. It’s a structure that would never have been connected if the path had been wrong even once. This kind of thing is only found in mazes with barriers…….’

It was strange that such a complicated path was hidden in the forest, but what was that man who accurately found such a path in seconds?

‘Did he really turn on a map hack or something?’

If God of the World wasn’t a game managed by artificial intelligence, it wouldn’t be strange to seriously report him for hacking.

That wasn’t the only strange thing.

‘It feels like it’s getting further and further away from what I heard… I heard there was a shelter in the middle, but is there a shelter in a place like this?’

He had progressed so far that it wouldn’t be strange if he had arrived past the middle.

But there was no shelter, and it felt like it had been a long time since any living creature had set foot in this place.

-What is it? Was there a path like this in the western forest?

-I’ve been in the Empire for a year and I’ve never seen it. I don’t think I’ve seen it in videos either.

-It seems like he really got a hidden quest?

-But why is Marty reacting like that? It seems like Marty doesn’t know either?

-The atmosphere is a bit chilly. It wouldn’t be strange if a ghost came out, I’d be scared too.

-Marty hasn’t been exploring for a day or two, he wouldn’t be scared of this.

When even the viewers felt something strange and the atmosphere of the chat became unusual.

Thud.

For the first time, Do-hyun’s steps stopped.

Perhaps he didn’t expect Do-hyun, who had been moving forward without hesitation, to stop.
