Chapter 85 of Season 1 of The Genius Archer's Streaming

30. Power Suit Play (2)

The Square.

It is the most straightforward and brutal map in Battle Laji.

As the name suggests, it consists of a wide, flat area, with the only cover being the stalls behind the shops at the edge of the square and the massive fountain in the center.

Thanks to this, intense free-for-all battles often take place here, dividing opinions.

In survival games, there is always a conflict between those who enjoy the thrill of survival and those who find such playstyles make the game boring.

Of course, for Almond, who always leads the trend of the powerful Yebu Meta, this is welcome news.

'I’ve won.'

Almond was confident of victory when he saw the Blue Zone shrinking towards the square.

Square Battle.

This term refers to the chaotic battle that ensues when the final Blue Zone shrink centers on the square.

This game will be a Square Battle.

- Square Battle, huh?

- Haha, is this Almond's first Square Battle?

- Square Battle is a bit boring.

- I like Square Battles. They're intense. Haha.

- Square Battles are too intense, so everyone dies quickly. Haha.

While opinions are divided, Almond's fans are generally more excited.

Almond prefers chaotic battles.

Moreover, with the power suit on, there's nothing to fear.

- With the power suit, Almond has a huge advantage in a Square Battle.

- Haha, really.

- Haha, just type 'Haha, really.'

- There are a lot of arrows.

- There are a lot of potions.

- Guns are too advantageous, though.

- I want to see him win or lose. Haha.

With many expectations, Almond moved towards the square.

Ding──

Thanks to the powerful propulsion of the power suit.

Thud.

The first footsteps on the square.

The protagonist is Almond.

"I’m here first."

After killing about seven more players, Almond finally arrived at the square.

He was the first to arrive.

- Of course, you killed everyone who got there before you. Haha.

- I killed everyone and got here first. Haha.

- Haha.

Almond didn't run the fastest.

He just killed everyone who was ahead of him.

"Let’s find a good spot..."

Being the first to arrive means he can secure the best position.

If he picks a good spot, it will be much easier to win.

[Jo Moon-ga donated 1,000 won.]

[There’s no particularly good spot in a Square Battle...]

[The director of Gandhi Meta Research Institute donated 5,000 won.]

[Just the second floor of the building at the end of the square?]

Almond tried to take the second floor based on the feedback.

"The second floor of the building at the end..."

It was ambiguous.

It was too close to the edge of the Blue Zone. If the next Blue Zone move excludes it, it will become the most disadvantageous spot.

[Pa Pa Pa donated 50,000 won!]

[How about shooting from inside the fountain while moving around? If your physical stats are good, it might not be bad.]

"Wow. Pa Pa Pa. Thank you for the generous 50,000 won donation. Your advice is heartfelt. I understand."

- No, this is insane. Haha.

- Hey, man. Haha.

- Hey, you can't ignore 'heartfelt' advice.

- But the fountain is not good, right?!

- The fountain is in the center of the square, so it will be less affected by the Blue Zone. Isn’t it too conspicuous?

Despite various objections,

Almond chose the fountain. Intuitively, it seemed good for the current situation.

This fountain is larger than expected, allowing him to move around and deal with enemies from different directions.

Most importantly, it is at the center of the current Blue Zone.

Even if the Blue Zone moves, this spot will still be included.

"There are various opinions, but let’s try it."

Almond walked to the square fountain.

A large fountain with nine statues arranged in a square.

Its size provided ample space to hide.

Just a bit wet, though.

- Huh?

- Into the water?

- Haha.

- Soaked Almond...

- Soaked Almond is sexy. :(

- Isn’t there a debuff for being wet?

- Oh, and now I remember, you can get wet without a gun. Haha.
