The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting

Special zombie, Tank.

It was undoubtedly a grotesque and terrifying creature.

Moreover, its special abilities were as formidable as its name suggested.

No, calling it a special ability was ambiguous, to begin with.

Its deformedly developed muscles prevented it from dying even if shot.

It had two weaknesses.

Its relatively frail lower body compared to its upper body and the head buried within its upper body muscles.

Just like any other zombie, it would die if its head was blown off.

Among the videos of veterans playing <Living Dead 1> that I enjoyed watching in the military, there were quite a few showing a single person taking down a tank.

Given the <Living Dead> series’ popularity, there were plenty of veterans, and users did all sorts of crazy things through the game.

– Hey, ㅋㅋㅋ but this is your first time playing this game, can you do it? ㅋㅋ

– A mission for 1 million wonㄷㄷ

– Isn’t it honestly impossible to take down a tank alone?

– Wowㅋㅋ Look at that tank’s huge, scary body.

– Can that be done with a crowbar too?

Viewers showed a variety of reactions as they watched the tank charging towards me.

Of course, most of the viewers expressed fear.

That was to be expected since the visual update for the tank had just been implemented.

It looked even more grotesque and gory than before.

Honestly, people with weak stomachs had to enable the soft visual update option.

Kuaaaaaargh!

Regardless of the viewers’ conversations, the tank had already reached me and extended its gigantic arm, throwing a punch at me.

Hmm.

If I got hit by that punch, would my health drop to a critical state?

Still, since it was large, it should be slow…

Kwahhhh!

“Oh, shit. It’s really fast.”

I was wrong.

Maybe because its upper body muscles were abnormally developed, its attack was very fast despite its size.

Instinctively, I slid to dodge the tank’s punch, which hit the tree behind me instead.

Creak— Crackle—

The tree started bending like a wooden chopstick.

Seeing this, Shout shouted from behind.

“Hey! Need support fire?”

“Don’t touch my tank. I’ll rip your arms off.”

“Um, okay.”

Trying to horn in on my money-making.

But from that last attack, I could figure out the strategy.

When it moves its muscles to throw a punch, the head buried within the muscles is revealed.

– In the past, you could see the tank’s head even from a distance.

– Seems like they changed it in Living Dead 2?

– Now you can’t take down the tank unless you dodge the attack and counter-attackㅋㅋㅋ

– Probably because veterans took down the tank too easily in the previous seriesㅇㅇ

– Special zombies’ patterns have gotten harder. Damn, but this looks fun. Gonna buy it as soon as it’s releasedㅋㅋ The atmosphere is insane.

[The special zombie ‘Tank’ is looking at you in fury!]

[The ‘Tank’s attack patterns are becoming more diverse, and its attack speed has greatly increased!]

Why is it angry at me?

Does it have new patterns just because I dodged one attack?

However, just as the system message stated, the tank’s entire body turned red.

A peculiar effect.

At the same time, the tank’s hellish attacks began.

Kwahhhh!

Crackle—.

Whether other zombies were running in or not, everything within the tank’s attack range was being obliterated.

A sight befitting the strongest zombie in <Living Dead 2>!

However, I leisurely dodged its attacks, observing its shoulder muscles move each time it attempted an attack.

“Not very hard.”

The large muscles seemed to be a disadvantage.

Just by looking at the direction the shoulder muscles contracted, I could predict where the attack was heading.

A big, dumb zombie.

Cooking up such a creature was one of the easiest things.

Kwahhhh!

“Stay right there, you bastard.”

It was when the tank, seemingly angry, slammed its arm onto the ground.

I instantly stepped on its arm, leaping up and ruthlessly unloaded my shotgun into the tank’s head, which had slightly revealed itself.

Boom!

Kuaaaaaargh!

As red blood splattered everywhere, the tank started staggering.

– How the hell do you predict the attacks?

– Using hacks again?

– Did they set the difficulty low for the demo? Or is it some cheat code?

– The tank is so dumbㅋㅋ

– How did you dodge that, you crazy bastard!

The chat went wild as the tank’s head was turned into a mess by the shotgun.

But the tenacious life of the tank wasn’t over yet.

Although it must have taken critical damage from the shotgun attack, it wasn’t dead yet.

Instead, it began to resist more violently, bleeding as much as it did.

Alright.

I had inflicted enough damage by now, so it was time to start the show properly.

I threw the automatic shotgun I was holding far away, grabbed my crowbar again, and smiled.

“Since its head is big, breaking it should be quite satisfying.”

Despite its head being half-destroyed by the shotgun, the tank was still moving.

However, it was clearly different from the beginning.

It staggered, losing its balance, and started attacking randomly.

Throwing anything it could grab at me.

Cars, motorcycles, broken tree trunks were continuously being thrown my way.

But this is a game.

Every attack had a gap, and it was possible to strategize.

Huge objects flew at high speed, but ducking or dodging to the side was enough to avoid them.

The variables and actions emphasized by the game company.

I could roughly understand why they were so confident in <Living Dead 2>.

Depending on the player’s physicality, the game could be played in various ways.

If you lacked confidence in your physical skills, you could shoot from behind; if you were confident, you could confront the enemy head-on like this.

Countless choices available to the player.

They aimed to differentiate from the previous series, where zombies were just indiscriminately slaughtered.

I exhaled lightly as I watched the bleeding tank. Then, nodding slowly, I smiled.

“This is fun.”

Kwaaaaa!

Was it sensing its end?

The tank pounded its chest lightly with its fist, then started charging recklessly towards me.

And soon after.

Crackle—.

The tank, with a crowbar stuck in its head, fell helplessly to the ground, and I pulled out the crowbar from its head as I stood on its corpse.

Then, glancing at the chat, I made a comment.

“Please deposit 1 million won.”

Soon, a fancy donation notification appeared, and the person who issued the mission gladly donated 1 million won.

‘GamblingAddict1336’ has donated 1,000,000 won!

[Next mission is to solo kill a tank in <Hell> difficulty. If you fail, you must do a 48-hour penalty stream. How about it?]

Seeing the donation message, I smirked.

“Double or nothing. I’ll even do a 96-hour penalty stream.”

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ If you stream for 96 hours, you’ll die.

-(Spoiler) The Line-crossing Internet Stream: Streamer Dies While Gaming???

-God-tier, King-tier broadcaster ㄷㄷㄷ

-Is this new Living Dead series really that easy?ㅋㅋ

-The tank died in less than 5 minutes ㅅㄱ

As the controversy about the difficulty of <Living Dead 2> continued, our allotted time for the demonstration was coming to an end.

Thus, our first playthrough was gradually coming to a close.

2.

Immediately after the demonstration game of the first streamer group consisting of me, Dong-su, and Shout, the internet communities reportedly heated up. ṝÄɴỐ₿ƐŞ

The reason was very simple.

It was about the difficulty of <Living Dead 2>.

The scene where I alone easily took down the special zombie ‘Tank’ became the center of the controversy.

The tank was originally designed to be taken down with teamwork.

It was an impactful monster that could make you run straight for a safe zone, but the fact that it died from just a few shotgun shots and a crowbar was deemed nonsensical, and such posts quickly spread.

However, the controversy disappeared as soon as the demonstration games of other streamers that followed were broadcasted.

-Kyaaaaaah!

-Save me!

-Kyaaaaaah! Kyaaaaaah! Mom!

The broadcasters from PaprikaTV, who played after us, screamed wildly and met tragic deaths.

Although they didn’t play on the exact same maps as we did in <Edge of Death>, the types and scale of zombies appearing were not much different.

They also played on <Normal> difficulty like us, but the footage being broadcasted was completely different from ours.

A female broadcaster even declared a halt to the gameplay due to the relentless onslaught of zombies.

Furthermore, even the teams that managed to reach the midway point experienced a nightmare when the <Tank> suddenly appeared.

Some famous influencers who watched my video confidently faced off against the tank,

Crunch!

only to be torn apart by the tank, paying the price for their arrogance.

Of course, since it was being broadcasted, the gruesome scenes were mostly edited out.

But even with that, the difficulty controversy was sufficiently settled.

Dong-su burst into laughter as he watched other streamers being wiped out by the tank.

“Those guys are getting wiped out hilariously.”

“Hyung… it’s not funny.”

“Hey, when this game opens, let’s create some content together. You show your skills, and I’ll keep the audio going nonstop. Does Na-young like this kind of game too? It’d be good if she joins.”

“Hmm, not sure.”

Would Na-young like this kind of horror game? I don’t think I’ve seen her play any game other than League of Storm.

But it’s impressive that this hyung always thinks about how to use the game for broadcasting rather than just enjoying it if it’s fun.

Since he thinks about broadcasting all day, it’s no wonder he keeps coming up with new content.

Anyway, while we were watching other streamers, the final group’s demonstration also ended.

After the demonstration ended, Value’s Cha Seok-hwan came to find us resting below the stage.

It was a successful demonstration.

The audience who came to the demonstration showed enthusiastic reactions, and the faces of the Value staff were all smiles.

“Hey, Sha, how could you break the tank so easily? I was really nervous.”

“It was easy.”

“… As expected, the reality surpasses the rumors. You’re really amazing.”

“Trying two at once later might be interesting.”

“Oh… sure.”

I genuinely planned to try two at once later.

Cha Seok-hwan gave me a sly smile and then began to reveal the reason he came to find us.

“Normally, I would communicate this through Seong-jae from ChickenBox, but the higher-ups insisted I tell you today.”

“What is it?”

“They want to officially partner with you for <Living Dead 2>. Oh, and don’t worry too much about playtime.”

Dong-su and Shout were already official partner streamers for Value.

Partner streamers.

Simply put, it meant being ambassadors.

It seemed Value’s marketing team was very inspired by my play.

Hearing Seok-hwan’s words, I smirked and nodded.

“If they’re offering money, I have no reason to refuse.”

Value was a globally renowned game company.

The pay would undoubtedly be substantial.

Thanks to participating in this demonstration, the extra income was significant.

But Seok-hwan’s proposal didn’t end there.

“And…”

I could only stare at him with wide eyes at what he said next.

“Is that for real?”
