The Demon King’s Game Chapter 20

20) Player_SIN(3)

 

*     *     *

Unlike what s.h.i.+n Ji-ho thought, Lee s.h.i.+n didn’t choose the Celestial Crossroads because of arrogance.

‘A collision with a powerful opponent is needed.’

He relaxed himself in order to drive back the opponent. A pro-gamer had the most growth when working towards the end to win.

This was Lee s.h.i.+n’s philosophy when practicing.

The game had begun.

Lee s.h.i.+n rapidly used Tech Tree (Tech tree: technology schematics).

Army depot, barrack, mine and armour station.

A high speed armoured tank left as soon as it was completed at the station and another one started being constructed.

The early high speed vehicle took the initiative to expand the containment. An aggressive style was built.

The armour stations continued producing high speed vehicles. The armour station also built an additional mobile turret.

The 4 high speed turrets and mobile turret immediately ventured out to attack. 2 SCV were sent with the full scale offensive.

*     *     *

‘I knew it.’

s.h.i.+n Ji-ho laughed while looking at Player_SIN’s troops.

This time the configuration was 2 armoured troops. The 2 armoured station offensive was popular in the days that Lee s.h.i.+n reigned.

n.o.body could catch up with the speed of Lee s.h.i.+n’s high speed trains in the beginning.

But…..

‘The era of the 2 armoured build was over.’

The 2 armoured build was retired with Lee s.h.i.+n. The 2 armoured build couldn’t win against s.h.i.+n Ji-ho.

s.h.i.+n Ji-ho had already completed trench construction and posted 1 mobile turret.

Additionally, the SCV already finished expanding the base and were eagerly collecting food and mineral resources.

If he overcame this one attack then he could overwhelm the opponent with resources.

After taking the extended base, a double build barracks was formed at the core.

Despite that, there was no attempt from Player_SIN to attack. s.h.i.+n Ji-ho laid down mines in front of the camp and didn’t stress.

s.h.i.+n Ji-ho started the ma.s.s production of high speed vehicles and mobile turrets from the resources.

The troops immediately began the march. There was nothing waiting in front of the opponent’s camp.

“Ohh, go.”

“The build is crucial.”

“Why is such an old build used with the human species?”

“He really is a retired person. That build was popular until last year.”

The players watching from behind discussed it with each other.

It was at that moment.

“Why are you gathered together?”

Director Bang Jin-ho appeared in the practice room and asked.

“Director-nim, player s.h.i.+n Ji-ho is versing the player Sin.”

“Who is that?”

“An online player. He is a retired player in real life.”

“Retired?”

Director Bang Jin-ho looked at the screen where s.h.i.+n Ji-ho was playing.

The game was overwhelmingly in s.h.i.+n Ji-ho’s favour.

s.h.i.+n Ji-ho led the troops to seize the centre and narrowed the range of the opponent’s activities.

This was a victory as s.h.i.+n Ji-Ho of the mediocre.

“Isn’t this just a mediocre win?”

Director Bang Jin-ho said.

“The build isn’t good. The opponent is using the 2 armoured build.”

“Why is someone using the 2 armoured build these days?”

“The person said he was retired.”

“That is true but who would use the 2 armoured build other than Lee s.h.i.+n these days……”

Director Bang Jin-ho murmured before he suddenly jumped.

He looked at the opponent’s ID. There was a retired player.

‘Lee s.h.i.+n?!’

Director Bang Jin-ho knew that Lee s.h.i.+n’s wrist had recovered not long ago.

‘Perhaps……’

The att.i.tude of Bang Jin-ho towards the game changed.

s.h.i.+n Ji-ho continued to take 3 expansion bases and put pressure on the opponent.

The headquarters wasn’t lacking resources but he didn’t attack. If this continued then even Lee s.h.i.+n would lose.

‘This is a tough situation for Lee s.h.i.+n.’

He should have gone forward from the beginning.

It was at that moment.

A few units form the opponent appeared in front of s.h.i.+n Ji-ho.

There were 2 tactical satellites and 2 high speed vehicles.

‘Eh?’

The tactical satellites were defensive s.h.i.+elds for the high speed vehicles.

The two high speed armoured vehicles were wrapped in a blue s.h.i.+eld and rushed towards s.h.i.+n Ji-ho’s troops. The 2 tactical satellites followed.

Pepepepeng!

s.h.i.+n Ji-ho’s mobile turrets fired in unison but the protective s.h.i.+elds meant that high speed vehicles could endure it.

The mobile turrets were unable to fire when the enemy was in close range.

However, s.h.i.+n Ji-ho had predicted that the high speed vehicles would be protected.

The s.h.i.+eld had suffered a blow from the ammunition and then the high speed trains would explode from the 2 landmines that he previously buried.

And……

“Whoa!”

“What was that!”

“Eh?!”

The players were shocked.

A tremendous control was used.

The moment the landmines had been buried, s.h.i.+n Ji-ho had agilely used them. But first, the tactical satellites stealthily s.h.i.+elded the landmines.

An enormous amount of control was unfolding at the moment. The protected s.h.i.+eld around the landmines meant that s.h.i.+n Ji-ho couldn’t trigger them as the high speed vehicles pa.s.sed.

Kwa ru ru rung!

Nearby, 4 mobile turrets and 5 high speed vehicles were involved as the 2 landmines finally exploded.

“How is that possible?”

“Sense Harpoon.”

“In that brief moment he defended against the mines……”

The shocked players murmured.

Director Bang Jin-ho felt his body tremble. He envisioned the scene of huge amounts of fans screaming.

A player who produced that type of scene every time.

‘Lee s.h.i.+n!’

Bang Jin-ho was sure of it.

Once the lid opened, Lee s.h.i.+n’s troops poured out all over the place.

Of course, that wasn’t enough to overturn the situation.

s.h.i.+n Ji-ho held 3 expansion bases. Lee s.h.i.+n only had 1 expansion base.

Different amount of resources could be extracted.

But Lee s.h.i.+n’s control launched an unbelievable feat.

Lee s.h.i.+n’s style was to counterattack the opponent’s play.
