Chapter 6: Server Destruction

Around the time Eating Bear conquered the great mountain called Customization and was agonizing over the name to engrave at the peak.

If you ask how other broadcasts were doing at that time...

"I, this isn't something a person should do..."

"It's fucked-desu. Mining is just J-O-A-T. I'm starting to crave banzai-desu."

"I don't want to live..."

They were groaning, blocked by the massive wall called citizenship.

The Life Server is set in a single city, and that city is largely divided into North and South.

Except for a few settlers and police personnel, the starting point for all citizens is the North.

A barren and desolate place closer to nature than civilization.

Countless people were flocking to this region where infrastructure was scarce and simple, and primary industries were the main focus.

"I, even my hometown isn't this bad. The Supreme Leader Comrade's words that defecting only leads to a path of suffering were a hundred times right. I miss the Supreme Leader Comrade's embrace."

"My ears hurt like fucking hell-desu. Accompanying suicide, ikimasho [let's go]."

"I really don't want to live..."

The North had an absolute shortage of places to work compared to the number of connected users.

To be exact, there were few jobs worth doing.

At best, the poultry farm and the mine were the ones with decent earnings among the jobs available in the early game.

However, the poultry farm was indoors with limited capacity.

In comparison, it was natural for people to flock to the mine, an outdoor area relatively easy to accommodate people, and as a result, the mine became a chaotic scene surpassing Gwangjang Market in its prime.

No, considering everyone there was a broadcaster, you could say the sound was even more than that.

Although there was a system called whispering that allowed sound to be heard only in a certain area, most were not using it in this situation.

Around the time not only the streamers but even the viewers were getting exhausted in this noise.

He appeared.

"W#h#a#t i#s t#h#i#s."

Appearing with a crackling sound, he froze everyone in an instant.

Literally, the screen itself froze.

"Uh?"

"What is this."

It didn't take long for the frozen screen to start moving again, but in that short moment, he had already finished awakening.

He, wearing the name tag 'Nogada' [Manual Laborer], began to blink [teleport] in all directions.

When he, having twisted the physics engine, started throwing punches everywhere leaving yellow afterimages, everyone collapsed helplessly at his punches.

Speed is mass; even a graze was a knockdown.

Watching that blankly, or more accurately, the three people who were closest and lay down first, spat out whatever words ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠came to mind while lying down.

"Nogada-san. For my sake, become the Server Severing Punch."

"Isn't that the Chukjibop [Earth-shrinking method] the Supreme Leader used!? I, I ended up getting caught after all!! Hiiiek!!!"

"Well done, Nogada. Destroy the world with your hands."

Under that cheering, Nogada's blinking only got faster.

About 1 minute like that.

In just 1 minute, he annihilated all residents in the mine and soon succeeded in shutting down the server.

It was the result of the server owner, who just happened to need a justification, making a quick decision.

And the red-haired VTuber who saw it right in front of her nose, Yuria, burst into laughter.

"Puhahahahahaha!"

She, who had lain down before anyone else and cheered for Nogada earlier, just liked this situation where the noise disappeared.

Server or whatever, she was really on the verge of dying.

"Wow. Don't know what it is but anyway I lived. I really thought my head was going to explode."

"Ah it's freaking funny. Ah I don't have to use this tone anymore. Anyway, he really destroyed it?"

Breaking away from the drawling voice, she chattered with the viewers with fluent pronunciation.

"I wonder what it was. Must be a bug? But was there a bug of this level?"

"Ah saved thanks to him. Thank you. You already clipped it? Let's see..."

At the words that the clip came out funny, Yuria clicked on her broadcast station.

Soon, clicking on the top video, she saw Nogada moving while leaving yellow afterimages.

The fists that were swinging clumsily in confusion at first were seen accelerating rapidly from the moment Yuria's words in the clip ended, and this approached the viewers like a skit.

"His punches are getting increasingly precise? No, the physics engine explodes like this too."

If it were normal times, it would have been a major accident where an individual, a Hakko, shut down the server, but now it was different.

Without needing to separate big corporations and Hakkos, he was closer to a hero who single-handedly ended the crazy world where everyone was suffering.

Adding laughter to that, it was literally Great Joy Mountain [Peak Comedy].

She and most of the streamers who were in the mine at the time laughed it off.

Rather, there were not a few people who were thankful for pulling them out of hell.

Of course, it wasn't like that for everyone.

Unlike Yuria who enjoyed it laughing frantically, there were people who got annoyed.

From the perspective of people who weren't in the mine right then, the server suddenly went out, so naturally, they expressed displeasure.

"Eh. I ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠just started fishing. Surely the bait won't disappear?"

"Ah what. Why did the server suddenly turn off."

"Ah chicken loss. Give me back my poultry farm."

However, watching the various clips being delivered soon after, they succeeded in calming their anger.

"Wow seriously it's hell."

Like that, Nogada, Eating Bear became everyone's hero.

Though the person himself was full of complaints.

Eating Bear stared blankly at the black screen before opening his mouth.

"No what is this, give me back my server. What is this, boss come out. I have a lot to say."

"Ah have to do mining. Ah mining loss happening."

As Eating Bear, left with nothing to do, was communicating with viewers for a moment, a person explaining themselves as a guide appeared in the chat.

"What is Discord?"

Flustered by the question outside common sense, the guide was lost for words for a moment, but soon revived and appeared with one secret plan.

"Steam friend add... Yes done."

The answer was Steam friend chat and the guide quickly conveyed the problem of the bug through that.

"So you mean other people's microphone sound is the problem? For me?"

"The max options weren't the problem."

Eating Bear, who confirmed his movements through the clip, scratched his head.

"This seems like the physics engine went out completely."

"Then I'll just play with sound off."

"Heheh..."

"Eung? Why are you laughing?"

"Huh? Ah, because your face is funny."

"What did you say bitch?"

Choi Da-ram, who was shoving bread into both cheeks, had her face distorted ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠like an evil spirit.

Shin Yu-ri lightly ignored her and searched the community again.

Since there was still a lot to see.
