[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 185

[⚔️What’s with the handwriting? Crazy.]

[⚔️Lol, I can’t even.]

Even though it’s handwritten, you can’t help but say it’s well-written. The handwriting itself exudes a noble aura.

Of course, it’s only natural since they used the calligraphy style of a master who left their name in the world of calligraphy.

“Phew─ Let’s go in now.”

After putting out the cigarette and heading back the way I came, I see the entrance where Eonni had gone in earlier.

Compared to the noisy entrance on the other side, this one is eerily quiet.

At the end of the long hallway, someone sitting on a chair by a table stands up as soon as they see me.

“Hello, you must be Lady Han Ga-eul, right?”

“Yep.”

[⚔️Lol, they recognized her right away.]

[⚔️The dignity of the Bangjang, lol.]

Without asking anything other than my name, they rummage through the desk and hand me something.

A necklace-style name tag with my name written on it.

I put the name tag around my neck and walk further, hearing a lively noise.

“Whoa.”

[⚔️This is gonna be fun.]

[⚔️If only it weren’t so far, I’d go.]

In a space that seems to be thousands of square meters, booths from various game companies are promoting their games.

The air is buzzing.

Cosplayers in flashy outfits are walking around casually, and booths running events are making a lot of noise.

It’s a festival for gamers who love games.

Baekseol seems to be getting excited too, wiggling her small body.

“Hey guys, let’s go have fun!”

[⚔️Woof woof!]

[⚔️This is gonna be so fun.]

[⚔️Just check the pamphlet and go.]

Following the viewer’s advice, I look at the pamphlet placed nearby and see a map of the booth layout.

The walls and corners are occupied by the main event zone and various big companies.

True to its indie-friendly nature, there’s a separate indie game zone.

“There’s a food court upstairs too. We can go there when we get hungry later.”

[⚔️There’s Three Games on the left.]

[⚔️Lol, look at them taking up several times the space of other booths.]

[⚔️Well, they’re a big company, what can you do.]

The game company that made Panic Field, which I often play, is naturally there too.

“Bangjang!”

“Huh?”

While walking and looking at the pamphlet, someone waves and approaches me warmly.

“Can you take a photo with me?”

“Sure.”

*Click!*

“Thanks.”

“No problem. Have fun.”

After taking one photo, they quickly disappear as if they’ve done what they came for.

It feels weird being recognized everywhere I go.

[⚔️Lol, they thought you were friends.]

[⚔️Still, it’s neat.]

“Bangjang!”

“Yeah.”

As soon as one person leaves, another comes, like a baton pass.

“Wow, Bangjang, you’re even more stunning in person. You look like a doll dressed up in clothes.”

A fan hands me a pen and a game console.

Most of the people who watch my stream are guys, and as usual, they all love games.

“Here.”

“Thanks.”

After scribbling a signature on the back of the console, they hand me their phone.

[⚔️Hang it up!!!]

[⚔️I’m coming right now, right now.]

*Click!*

“Thanks, Bangjang.”

“Sure, have fun.”

The fan takes their phone, waves, and disappears.

“Stop crowding, my little ones. I know you’re all watching the stream.”

[⚔️Lolololol.]

[⚔️Using the ‘stop’ command, I can’t help but stop.]

“Guys, come later all at once. We need plenty of time so I can hug each of my little ones.”

[⚔️All troops, retreat!!]

[⚔️Got it.]

[⚔️Ugh, I was on my way.]

[⚔️I’ll hang up anyone who’s still coming, retreat!!]

The not-so-subtle threat seems to work, as the crowd that was following me scatters in all directions.

“People who love games…”

“Looks like a lot of people have come here.”

[⚔️Room Master, I’m here too]

[⚔️You gotta give me an autograph later]

“Yeah, yeah. I’ll give it to you later, so just chill.”

[⚔️K]

[⚔️So jealousㅠㅠ]

[⚔️My stomach hurts, I can’t eat chicken]

As I calm the rushing viewers and walk around looking at the booths, Baekseol, who was clinging to me, wiggles her front paw.

“Wanna go over there?”

“Bboing bboing!”

I head to where Baekseol is pointing, and there’s an arcade machine.

It’s a simple game where you hit a protruding part with a rubber hammer to score points.

It’s like a punch machine—the harder you hit, the higher the score.

“Baekseol, Bboing Bboing went to America.”

“Went?”

Baekseol tilts her head, looking at the rubber hammer, and when I tap her forehead with my finger, her ears perk up.

Seems like Baekseol really liked Bboing Bboing.

Sadly, Bboing Bboing couldn’t handle one swing and went to Bboing Planet.

If I get the chance, I should either fix it or make a Bboing Bboing Mark II.

[⚔️Is that hammer Bboing Bboing?]

[⚔️LOL the name is so cute]

I insert a coin into the machine, and the board lights up with a loud noise.

*Clunk!*

At the same time, the slightly lowered strike panel rises.

It’s telling me to hit it with the rubber hammer hanging next to the machine.

[*Ding!*]

[RealHalfMoonBear donated 10,000 won]

[If you hit the high score, I’ll give you 10,000 more]

“Deal.”

The high score on the board is 861 points.

*Grip.*

The hammer’s grip feels just right.

“Ah, this cool and heavy sensation. It’s been a while.”

[⚔️Room Master is back!]

If I swing it like this, the strength amplification option on my headband will definitely smash it without even looking.

It’s not just a little boost—it’s 20 times stronger.

I’ve been keeping it activated for strength control practice, but even attempting this motion is a problem.

I focus my mind, and the immense power lingering in my body dissipates in an instant.

As lightly as possible.

—*Kwaaang!!*

*Ding ding ding!*

With an explosive noise, the rapidly rising scoreboard flickers and then goes black.

[⚔️OMG LOLOLOL]

[⚔️You’re crazy LOL]

“Welp, it’s over. First kid with a pen and paper, come here.”

As soon as I finish speaking, someone watching from the side jumps out.

“Room Master.”

“Yeah, yeah. Give me some paper.”

[⚔️LOL are you guys friends?]

[⚔️So friendly LOL]

I write down a number and an apology note, and I feel relieved.

[⚔️What did you write?]

“I wrote that I’m sorry and that I’ll compensate three times over.”

[⚔️But if you break an arcade machine made for hitting, is it really your fault?]

“Enough. It’s my fault.”

[⚔️K]

[⚔️You did it, Room Master]

I sign the paper for the pen holder and look around. Next to the hammer game, there are several arcade machines for kids.

“Baekseol, wanna play a game?”

“Yeah!”

Baekseol, who was wiggling on my head, slides down into my arms.

Colorful butterflies and dragonflies fly across the screen. There are no buttons, so it seems like a touch game.

I sit on the chair in front of the machine and insert a coin. The countdown starts.

*Beep!*

I lightly touch the screen, and the character swings a net. It’s a simple game where catching butterflies and dragonflies with the net increases your score.

“Baekseol, you gotta catch the butterflies and dragonflies. Wanna try?”

“Yeah!”

I lower Baekseol from my arms to the screen, and she starts energetically moving her little front paws.

*Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.*

[⚔️Go for it!]

[⚔️Wow, our Baekseol is doing great!]

Drip. Drip. Drip.

Using both left and right feet, she even pulls off a combo.

[⚔️LOL look at that butt, so cute]

[⚔️Wait, why is she so good? LOL]

[⚔️She’s really good, LOL]

Baekseol wiggles her tiny ears and moves her front paws energetically.

Even when we went for a walk in the mountains, she caught bugs and brought them back. Guess she’s got a hunter’s instinct.

Sitting behind Baekseol, I blankly watch her, and soon enough, she jumps up and comes to me.

“Did you have fun?”

“Excited!”

Since she’s small, she couldn’t catch the butterfly flying on the screen, so it ended quickly.

“Guys, isn’t Eonni Eun-A broadcasting? Do you know where she is?”

[⚔️Yeah, she’s at the TG booth doing an event]

Seems like the connection from when I got her that ad deal with Three Games is still going strong.

“Let’s go right now.”

[⚔️Go go]

[⚔️She’s playing Panic Field right now]

Following where the viewers pointed, I saw a big screen displaying the game as the event was underway.

As expected of a big company, everything’s on a grand scale.

“Oh, Ms. Ga-eul?”

“Huh? Director Park Seong-woo, hello.”

“Haha, I see you’re here for the expo.”

“Well, that’s how it is for internet broadcasters. But why are you here, Director?”

Director Park Seong-woo glances at the big screen and then turns his gaze back.

“I came to discuss contract matters with Ms. Eun-A.”

“Ah, I see.”

Even when I made my avatar, he handed me the contract directly. Seems like he’s always busy.

I don’t know why he handles contracts personally, but it seems like a kind of superstition.

“Ms. Ga-eul, would you like to join? We brought the summer event map for an early preview.”

Director Park Seong-woo points at the screen with his finger.

“Oh, of course, I’d love to.”

Just then, someone sitting nearby gets up.

【Wow, 22 wins in a row, that’s overwhelming. Next participant…】

Eonni Eun-A, holding the mic on stage, stops mid-sentence and pouts her lips.

“Shh.”

Eonni Eun-A seems to understand my gesture and nods with a smile.

【Now, can the next participant break the 22-win streak?】

The computers are set up so far apart that I can barely see the hair of the person sitting on the other side.

If someone can get 22 wins in a row in an FPS genre, they must be a pro gamer.

The account for the event was already logged in and entered a custom room.

Looks like it’s a simple 1v1 match.

【If the participant is ready, please press ready】

As soon as Eonni finishes speaking, the opponent presses ready.

I move the mouse and press the ready button, and the screen darkens as the game starts.

I thought the game would start on a plane, but it begins directly in the field.

The basic mechanics seem the same—scavenge for weapons scattered around and fight.

What’s a bit unique is, as Director Park Seong-woo mentioned, it’s a summer event map, so there are water guns scattered around too.

“This water gun has an attack power of 1?”

[⚔️Probably just there for laughs LOL]

[⚔️Show us the room master!]

“Just trust me.”

In a 1v1 match, the most important thing is the weapon you click.

Since Panic Field allows you to carry two main weapons, I grab a sniper rifle and have one slot left.

“Anyway, I only need one sniper rifle.”

[⚔️True LOL]

I randomly pick up a water gun, and at the same time, faint footsteps are heard through the headset.

Thinking the opponent won’t hear, they move around clumsily, resembling someone I know.

Waiting behind the wall, I see a small figure moving in the distance.

—Bang!

Blood splatters.

[⚔️Wait, did our room master just get hit?]

“Wait, I deliberately shot at your feet.”

The sniper rifle’s upper body hitbox is an instant kill. So, from the shoulders up to the head, it’s an instant kill, but the damage halves as you go down to the lower body.

Since I hit the feet, the opponent probably has about 20 health left.

*Clatter, whoosh—!*

The thrown smoke grenade emits thick smoke.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

Thinking I’ve entered, they start spraying bullets into the invisible smoke.

Leaning slightly to the opposite side of the smoke, I see the opponent has stopped shooting and is frantically using a medkit.

Using a medkit restores most of your health, but it takes 3 seconds to complete.

*Click.*

[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOL]

[⚔️Click]

Thanks to the water gun having an attack power of 1, the opponent gets stunned, and the medkit use is canceled.

*Bang! Bang!*

Since the water gun is silent, they can’t tell where the shots are coming from and keep spraying bullets into the poor smoke.

It’s an easy play to time it so that when the opponent leans to look in this direction, I just duck back.

It’s like standing behind a kid and spinning around to pretend you’re not there when they turn to look.

It’s impossible with average reflexes, but before coming here, I was busy fighting demons and whatever, and tangling with Namgoong or whoever.

At this point, this level of play is child’s play.

*Click.*

*Bang! Bang!*

*Click.*

*Bang! Bang!*

[⚔️LOLOLOLOL so pathetic]

When the smoke is about to fade, just refill it and repeat the same thing.

*Click.*

*Bang!*

*Click.*

*Bang!*

The opponent is cornered.

Every time they try to run the other way, the water gun hits them. They can’t even go towards the smoke grenade, not knowing if I’m there or not.

*Click.*

*Ratatatat!*

Now they’re spraying bullets in bursts.

“Two.”

I’ve counted up to nineteen. So, the opponent’s health, unable to recover, should be down to 1.

*Click.*

As I fire the last water gun, a *thud* sound signals the end of the game.

[Victory!]

“AAAAAH!! This game is so BS!!”

“Hahahaha.”

[⚔️Kya, instant praise incoming]

[⚔️The Room Master’s laugh is so evil LOLOLOL]

*Crash!*

The opponent pushes their chair back and starts throwing a fit.

Finally, their face becomes visible.

“Why me!!”

[⚔️Oh, it’s Radelly?]

[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

No wonder the reckless movements felt so familiar—it was Radelly, a close friend I’d never met in person.

“Phew, almost missed the contract.”

[⚔️Fight junkie]
