Chapter 366: Chapter 366 – Streamers Gathered! Fight Prepared!
The others had also finished choosing their weapons. The most common was, as expected, sword and shield. Following that were dual swords and then bow & arrow. War axes were also common, but not as many as the three weapons. Axes
Max looked around and saw various choices. Unfortunately, he was separated from the boys. He could see Lightning\'s blond hair in the distance, but the boy was stuck between many streamers with large weapons.
\'I guess we won\'t be able to meet them now.\'
At that moment, someone climbed a tall podium in the center. The man had long blue hair and looked charismatic as he held a large war axe over his shoulder.
Standing atop the podium, he slammed the axe on the ground, creating a loud sound.
"Please be quiet!"
Everyone focused their attention on the blue-haired man. However, there was no way to shut all the streamers\' mouths. They were the loudest people in the group, and there were around 100 of them gathering here.
\'It\'s like a traditional Chinese market from my past life.\' He laughed wryly as he looked at them.
From the viewers\' perspective, though, he looked so confident and laughed at the other streamers.
— I bet 10 premium accounts that he thinks \'I will crush them all, hehehehe.\'
— I bet 5 PA that he thought \'Bow in front of me, peasants! I have more viewers than you! And I am only 3 months old!
— Naah, I know he\'s searching for his target to cut their heads
— Or split them
— *Nod nod*
— He is counting his victims!
The chat\'s bet and words didn\'t escape Max at all.
"I read all of that, chat. And no, I just think it\'s funny that someone tells streamers to be quiet." He explained as he looked at the blue-haired guy that he identified as OperationMLF, the event organizer. "He looks troubled. Poor him. I feel bad and want to help, but what can a small streamer like me do?"
— So you can feel bad?
— Damn, so Breeze is human confirmed? I thought he was a robot or an alien.
— No silicone skin? So he has feelings?! I thought he was the Blood God\'s apostle. Tell me this isn\'t real!
— NOOOOO!
Max wanted to punch the chat so badly. No, he wanted to throw his axes at them.
\'What do they think I am?\' He screamed in his mind and gritted his teeth.
Anyway, that wasn\'t important.
Understanding that he couldn\'t make the streamers quiet, OperationMLF tweaked the waiting room\'s system for a while and made his voice louder.
"Ah- ah… Can you hear me?"
The loud voice from earlier became louder. Everyone was quiet for a second. Max covered his ears because it was too loud. He could see the others also did the same.
"Ah, my apologies," OperationMLF spoke once again, this time quieter than before. "I believe this is good?"
Someone nodded at him.
"Great." The blue-haired man nodded in satisfaction, "Now, everyone. It\'s nice to meet you all! Those who know me already and those who haven\'t met me, I don\'t differentiate between them. Please, I hope you guys will have fun in this small event I held."
No one paid attention, but OperationMLF knew his voice was heard so he continued explaining the event once again. His explanation was roughly the same as what MadLad told Max, how the teams divided and that there would be 400 viewers joining.
The code would be shared once the streamers team entered. Each team would have roughly 20 streamers and 80 viewers. There would be 10 minutes of peace after they were divided so the team could choose a person who would act as a leader. The leader was expected to command the team.
Naturally, that leader would come from one of the streamers.
— Somehow, I feel like Breeze won\'t be chosen as this leader. He\'s too wild and straightforward.
— The leader is probably a streamer with the highest influence in the group. Well, this will be fun
— Naah, I bet some guys won\'t listen to the leader\'s command
— If I enter Breeze\'s team, I will follow him even if he\'s not a leader!
— True true. Even if he usually does \'Go go go\' strategy, he actually has a good head and can think of \'Harass Them\' strategy!
Most viewers probably thought that way. They would follow their favorite streamer instead of the team leader. Unless everyone cooperated, the team would be bound to fail to follow commands and fall into chaos.
"Haha, I hope you can join my team," Max said with a low chuckle. He didn\'t plan to follow any leader that would be chosen.
Of course, if the command was simple like go to the right or left wing, he would probably just follow it. But if the leader had a big ego and wanted to control the team…
\'I\'d say fuck it and go kill the other team alone. Probably with some of my lucky viewers.\'
Crazy viewers, or so he called them. Max had a feeling that they weren\'t normal. Rather… Some of them knew too much about games and the skills needed to clear obstacles easily. And he had seen some of his viewers\' skills in Midnight Heist. Even LovelyOtter was skilled enough to escape unharmed at that time.
\'I can count on these crazy idiots.\'
"Make sure to join the server as soon as the code is spread. And remember, if you end up on another team, don\'t hesitate to attack me."
— Don\'t worry, I will just target you
— Kekeke, if I were on other teams, I would kill you first. Why should I hesitate?
— No worries! My arrow will end up in your head!
— I-I won\'t hesitate. Hehehe, Blood God wants me to get your blood
— That would be great. This noble me can\'t wait for Breeze\'s body to get impaled with various weapons. Do it, guys. I am counting on you
Right… That was how they were.
Fortunately, the winner was based on the kill count. This was a fun event, so there were no complicated rules at all.
"Alright! Without further ado, I will start the game!" OperationMLF exclaimed loudly and raised his hand. "The server code is M1LFU1STH3B3ST! Let\'s start the game!"
He brought down his hand and pressed a button on the hologram screen.
As soon as he did that, Max could see his body was engulfed in a bright light and his vision shifted. When he opened his eyes again, he was standing on top of a mountain, covered in thick snow.
The area was covered in blue light, around 150 meters in diameter, and the words \'Team 3\'s Safe Zone\' were written above.
And following his realization was a loud scream from a hundred people that was transported into the area.
"Wooooooo!"
"I DID IT! I managed to join!"
"This is sick!"
The viewers had joined. And among them were those crazy idiots.
