Martial Arts Returnee’s Game Broadcast

Chapter 231

Current nickname: Someone who likes to get apologies.
Former nickname: Apple Queen.
Nickname: Mesugaki Girl.
She had a better adaptability to the virtual world than most others.

“Ugh, huff...! Apple Queen, I’ve gathered the mobs, I’ve brought them here!!”
“Eh~? Is that all? You’re just running around and panting~~?”
“Th, that’s... it’s so hard to run in heavy armor, I’m out of breath...”
“Did you properly allocate your stats~? Premature? Endurance is too poor?”

Her adaptability was mostly in handling men.
Epic Fantasy.
From the very beginning in the virtual world game, she showed extraordinary adaptability.
She would tease and provoke men.
If they showed weakness, she'd insult their pride.
If they did well, she'd give praise.
If they failed, she’d mock them.
When they were no longer helpful for her own growth, she’d give a light wave or wink and leave, maintaining brief relationships.
It didn’t take long for her to rise on the ranking board of Epic Fantasy as a beginner.

“Korean! If a Korean does free farming, they’ll never win in this game! Kill them all!”
“C-Commander Apple Queen, please run! The commander of the Royal Guard is here!!”
“Ah, that gloomy pomade-haired guy, trying to gain points with Apple! Protecting Apple’s back is the job of this great thief!”
“These fools, don’t make me laugh! The honor of serving Apple Queen is for the highest-ranking, the Supreme Commander of the Army!”
“Ha, the jealousy of a man who only has power is disgusting. Are you saying there’s a better rear guard than the top PVP-ranked gladiator of this kingdom?”

After her name appeared on the ranking board,
That was when the problem started.
Foreign users who trembled at the sight of a Korean ranked player.
Whenever a Korean appeared, they used any means possible to interfere.
They controlled hunting grounds, sent assassins, pressured the guilds Korean players were in, and even refused to sell items.
Epic Fantasy, a virtual reality game played by people from all over the world, a game leading both in concurrent players and revenue—
The graveyard of Koreans.
Unable to overcome the harsh reputation, after repeated sabotage, it eventually collapsed.

“Great thief! If you had just been assassinating enemy commanders, you wouldn’t have lost so pathetically in the last battle!”
“Commander Supreme was trying to protect the Queen and rushed at the assassin and died, and now you have the nerve to say that?”
“Shut up! While you were battling the enemy country’s ranked player, the Queen died!”

...Looking back now, it might not have been the followers’ fault,
But anyway, the repeated defeats had taken away the fun of the game, even for the talented Apple Queen.
No matter how much her followers tried, the interference from all sides made it impossible for her to rise again.

“Apple Queen, I’ve gathered the Lorensia wildflowers! Now, our apothecary can make high-level antidotes without needing to use the forbidden city!”
“Did you spend the whole day picking materials and get covered in dirt? Pathetic? So shabby? Go back to your own game and stop bothering me?”
“Kh, please don’t say that! Even top-tier streamers don’t have the strength to protect Korean ranked players, but if it’s not us, who will protect the Queen?”

At first, the players were just trying to gain points with a pretty girl,
But after months of watching them fight against foreign attackers, getting blocked from entering the city, and enduring various hardships,
When she realized that her outstanding physicality and occasional compliments, like acts of kindness, were earning the sincere admiration of men,
She realized something.

“Idiots? I’m tired of this game where I only die? Our guild is disbanding now, so go form a social club in another guild?”

These idiots had decided to follow her no matter how much they lost.
To let these useless fools enjoy the game, she’d have to quit herself.
Wiping away tears, the idiots begged her not to leave, clinging to her legs, but she logged out.

“...Real idiots? Stupid fools? Can’t even protect their subordinates, so pathetic?”

Her former nickname Apple Queen had become a distant memory, occasionally mentioned among Epic Fantasy users,
And one day, after changing her nickname, secretly watching VTube streamers, a Korean streamer caught her eye.

Silent Swordsman.

It was a mess of a broadcast— a beginner to virtual reality games who didn’t even pick a blessing, didn’t know where the chat window was, and had no sponsorship reactions.
It was a broadcast that would now make her mutter, “Pathetic?,”
But the skill was something else entirely.

“Not pathetic?”

It was different.
With that level of skill, she’d never survive as a ranked player in Epic Fantasy.
She’d never even make it as a ranked player.
But for the first time, she felt something different, unconsciously comparing and always feeling disappointment in her own skill broadcasts.

“Impressive…?”
“Great…?”
“Amazing?”

Every broadcast had an irresistible physicality,
With pure personal skill, she took down massive monsters one after another.
Just like her fearless self from the past, her bold, reckless plays made her heart race again after a long time.

“Ha~? With that kind of skill, you think you’ll be an ace pilot~~?”
“Pathetic? An ace pilot? You’re a hundred years too early? Go shoot down a paper plane or something?”

In space’s outer atmosphere, she quickly gained fame just for her skill,
Under the new, meaningless nickname Someone who likes to get apologies, her characteristic tone quickly gained popularity.

Where have I heard this annoying tone before?
Sounds like Apple Queen.
But that person quit the game.
Yeah.
So, she’s the next generation Mesugaki Girl.
Generation swap, what? LOL.
It was only natural that many guilds would send recruitment requests to a skilled player.
Small and medium forces, as well as the three great fan clubs of the ES outer space arena—
All sent offers.

We promise the best treatment in the industry.
A signing bonus of 10 million points and a monthly allowance of 100,000 points for upkeep.
100,000 points per sortie, plus 100,000 points per kill.
The Wandering Merchant Guild had the best terms.
They promised a large sum of points as compensation.

We’ll give you a fleet.
What we want is the destruction of the Human-Faced Demon Guild. We’ll give a high rank to anyone with the skill.
The rank offered by the Human-Faced Demon Guild was the highest.
They even promised a fleet commander position in a newly established fleet.

You want to become our pilot??
The points and rank are far lower than other fan clubs... Are you sure about this?
Tuttak’s Guild had the lowest points and rank.
But still, she chose them.
Because she remembered.
The pathetic fools she left behind in Epic Fantasy.
The poor ones who couldn’t fight back and were constantly beaten.

“Fools? Pathetic fools? You’re the most worthless?”

It was a little surprising that she liked the reward,
But at that moment, she remembered her early Epic Fantasy followers, and a nostalgic feeling welled up.

Anyway, if you insist, we’ll give you a ship. However, it will be a basic model given to all new pilots without any special treatment.
Once, she couldn’t protect them.
Once, her power wasn’t enough, and they suffered.
But now, it was different.
She had everything she lacked back then—skill, urgency.
Now, she had everything.
She proved it, as Silent Swordsman did.
She had shown how far personal skill could take her.

She went back to the battlefield.
And proved it.
She participated in countless battles between the Wandering Merchant Guild and the Human-Faced Demon Guild,
And stacked up kill counts to the point that she could single-handedly change the tide of battle.
She earned the title of ace pilot, a strategic weapon capable of changing the battlefield alone.

Heh, a newbie is mining in the high-level hunting zone~? Pathetic? Dumb? Apologize to the pilots who were sent for such trivial things.
S-Sorry!
Well done? Give me the map?
I-I gave it!
The newbie zone is over there~ Here’s the map? Go to the newbie zone that matches your level.
With a rough tone, but secretly caring for the pathetic players,
Her efforts helped Tuttak’s Guild expand and grow into a large force.
She rose above the level of an ordinary ace pilot, becoming the hero who represented Tuttak’s Guild.

Mesugaki Apple Queen is back?!
Call for the Round of Night! Only elite ships can keep up!
Heh, such a ridiculous hit rate.
The specs of the ships are great, but their control is something else.
Crazy, she dodged a hundred rocket shots in close combat!
Silent Swordsman, killing elite ships like they were nothing.

“Round of Night~? The Number Nine from the Zero Fleet~? The monsters from the top 10 hit rate~? Pfft~ Pathetic? They’re all just lackeys of forces that I don’t even need to care about?”

The space war, with the prestige of the forces at stake.
Countless skilled players were dispatched to capture her, including the best players of the Wandering Merchant Guild.

My name is Mangok Dongmu Seodari Bobo! Number Nine of Round of Night’s Numbers! I came here from the Eastern Front to defeat you!
Pfft~ Just hearing your name makes you sound like a joke? Pathetic? Apologize to the fighter who crossed such a long distance to fight you! Go back to the hangar and apologize to the mechanic for your wrecked ship?
The specs of their ships were better, and their fusion rates were higher.
Despite their ridiculous name, they were strong opponents, but Someone who likes to get apologies was not afraid.

“I’ll destroy you all, weaklings? Junk ships that explode on a scratch? I won’t let you attack me freely?”

And this fight.
This massive viewer civil war,
Surely Silent Swordsman is watching.

“Watch closely?”

The highlight battle of the space war, watched by countless viewers.
Mesugaki Girl’s heroic efforts would make many Tuttak Guild pilots’ hearts race.
The dazzling showdown.

“Oh, there’s a zoo here.”
[Why do these animals have zippers on their backs?]
“Yikes, what is this? These are all humans.”

It was pushed out by a tourist trip to the space zoo experience course.
