Settlement
Lee Jua yanked the wheel hard toward Yura and unleashed a riding shot. All the enemies in the coupe dropped dead from headshots. An unbelievable result with just ten bullets.
Normally, after taking down two coupes, you'd expect your team to pull aggro or park the vehicle for a turn to breathe and plan the next move. But Lee Jua simply switched from the third seat to the second.
Tatata-tang—! She cleanly picked off the enemies closing in to finish off Yura. Just like that, four kill logs popped up in an instant.
The chat exploded as fast as the kill logs.
"Whoa... Jua, what was that just now? Three out of four were headshots."
Teo's voice, laced with awe, flowed through the death code.
A play that would leave even 1-tier pro gamers slack-jawed.
Moments later, Teo and Jonghyun joined up but had nothing left to do, so they smoked out and looted the bodies.
"Fuck, it's a hacker!"
"Whoa, I got head double-tapped?"
"You too? Me too!"
"Mine was bodyshot... but I died before I even registered it."
The death codes of the four-man squad, ejected pathetically to the lobby, overflowed with curses.
Just moments ago, they'd been giggling while pirating Yura and spamming happy balance emotes.
Then a UAZ popped out of nowhere and shredded all four with one riding mag.
"What's her nickname? HardLaborDude? Report that shit right now."
"Wait... HardLaborDude? I've seen that name somewhere."
"Hacker, probably from some cheat inspector site?"
One of them fired up Prism Studio. And spotted the top live streams.
"Guys... this is a kill bet team?"
"Streamers? Not hackers?"
"Nah, you don't know shit. Streamers can't use hacks?"

Bottom right of the screen showed a keyboard, mouse, and slender hand.
"...We got wrecked by a girl?"
"What? Some girl streamer riding one mag to wipe a squad? Bullshit. 100% hack. Inspector time."
"But handcam's on?"
"...Huh?"
"Odin's in the kill bet squad today?"
"...Uh?"
Odin was a famous hack detector. Using hacks in a game with Odin? Like robbing a bank with cops watching.
With uneasy hearts, they started watching the stream of the one who massacred them: Lee Jua.
On screen, Lee Jua had cleared Asnaya with Teo, Jonghyun, and Yura, then hopped back in the car to move.
{I'll take point. Diving south. Check positions, if clear, two-two split to Hi-Mart and Trash House for a gamble.}
*Gamble: Ant Hell
{Roger. I'll U-check on the way over. Yura and Jonghyun, stick right to Jua right away.}
{Got it!}
{Yes, bro!}
Lee Jua's orders were swift and ruthless. No time wasted thinking. They flowed out the instant the circle jumped.
{Full squad at Hi-Mart. I'll down one, watch for pushes.}
{You good? Not all nearby intel yet, pushing might suck.}
{Yeah, that's why no push.}
{...Huh?}
Her car heading to Hi-Mart didn't brake or turn—it floored the accelerator.
And moments later.
An enemy peeking from behind the wall went down.
{What? Riding graze?}
"What? That's a riding graze?"
The pirate squad and Teo's puzzled voices overlapped.
Normally, you'd park on the ridge, down with a DMR, then go. But Lee Jua just barreled through, grazed with riding, and peeled out clean.
With aggro pulled to her, Yura, Jonghyun, and Teo slammed Hi-Mart and mopped up the rest in seconds.
"Whoa, aggro 3x zoom spray while riding. And that's not a hack?"
"Yo, hear her voice? In that order just now."
"Agh, this guy's prepping to simp for girlcam instead of watching."
"No, dumbass, her voice is fucking gold, just listen."
"Already clipped it, dumbass."
"...?"
"Hehe."
At first, eyes burning with grudge and revenge, hunting hack proof.
Now captivated by Lee Jua's voice, her physicality.
"Yo! You retards ready up? Next game's not running itself?"
Minjae, one of the squad, yelled irritably. Minutes wasted yapping about girlcam?
He wanted quick ready-up for next game.
But the other three were lukewarm.
"Minjae, game matter right now? Study Jua noona's orders."
"Yeah fuck, Jua's in god form, pure study material."
"Quit the game already Minjae, you're addicted."
"...You crazy fucks. 'Jua noona' 'our Jua' after one watch?"
Eventually even Minjae grumbled and tuned into Lee Jua's stream.
How good was the voice? How nuts the play? Why were worse game addicts reacting like this? Curiosity too.
Exactly five minutes later, Minjae stared blankly and spoke.
"I'm withdrawing Odin bro support from today. Escaping Odin fandom. I merge as one with Lee Jua."
The 400-kill bet ended at 00:22 with Teo team's score hit.
The final score for Nari Land's kill bet, which heated up Prism balance boards, displayed on the death code screen.
Teo team 208 + Zeus team 192 = Teje team total 400.
Odin team 218 + Panjeo team 176 = O Pan team total 394.
A razor-thin 6-point win for Teje team.
Odin 111 pts. Zeus 92. Teo 80. Panjeo 82.
1-tiers clustered around similar scores under Odin's dominance.
Lee Jua: 89 pts. Third place even among 1-tiers.
Other 2-tiers at 50-70? Overwhelming firepower.
Before land drop, most viewers bet on Odin-Panjeo O Pan team's win.
Kill bet victory hinged on 1-tier skill and orders, conventional wisdom.
Odin-Panjeo duo outgunned Teo-Zeus in firepower and stability, consensus.
Odin > Zeus. Panjeo > Teo.
But underdog Teje team pulled the win.
Thanks to Teo team's 2-tier, ecosystem disruptor Lee Jua.
"Uwaaaaa! Fucked Odin!"
"Hell yeah! No more O-bottom-Zeus! It's Z-bottom-O now!"
Cheers erupted from Teo and Zeus over death code.
"Ah... lost. Couldn't flip 6 points. Congrats Teje team. Jua, solid bus ride."
"Fuck, sorry, if I'd done better we'd have won."
Odin and Panjeo's bitter concession followed.
"Nah, whose fault? Who knew Jua would go this hard? But I did heh."
"Who threatened not to pick Jua with a knife? Oh right, Teo 1-pick? Sucks~"
Teo and Zeus's shitstirring continued.
"Next time, Jua to our team for sure. Won't forget you smashing my pots twice today."
"Haha... call anytime."
"Jua! So fun today! Team with you next too!"
"Ain't up to us, right?"
"Tell 'em to fuck off! We're soulmates!"
Amid friendly curses, well-wishes, and next-time vows.
Streamers logged off death code one by one.
Lee Jua leaned back, exhaling deeply.
Nari Land funding kill bet total prize: 30 million won.
Eight people—Teo team and buddy Zeus team—split 3.75 million each.
But not the end.
Donations poured in after.
Superchats alone topped 2.5 million won in a flash.
Lee Jua's cut: over 6 million won.
Full stream time upgraded her from rookie to pro streamer—30% cut.
Even after fees, over 4.5 million won. Insane cash.
'Fuck... money's duplicating...'
4.5 million? Matched a month of gombang hauls.
Sure, hardcore daily gombang paid more... but from a chair, zero sweat? Streamer landslide win.
"Kya..."
This warped, unfair capitalist structure? To Lee Jua now, sweeter and perfecter than anything.
Prism was her utopia.
