The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 124

Episode 124 Bae

Do-hyun’s opponent in the finals was decided to be Chinese player Wang Tianming.

Wang Tianming was the last survivor of Group C and was China’s highest level ranker along with Li Jincheng.

In real life, he is a kendo expert who has been practicing swordsmanship for over 10 years, and although he is not as good as Bae Do-hyeon, he has defeated tournaments by showing a significant gap in skill.

‘Wang Cheonmyeong. long time no see.’

One of the characters that remains in Bae Do-hyeon’s memory.

This is because among Chinese players, he was the last ranked player who focused on solo play.

His ranking was always in the top 100 from the beginning of the game, and he remained the top ranker even when Bae Do-hyun died.

In a way, it could be said that among the players who accessed Connect and interacted with them, they were the closest group.

‘I thought we would make it to the finals as expected.’

It was a result I fully expected from the first time I saw the matchup.

Among other players, there were many who would later become top rankers, but in reality, there were only a few who practiced martial arts and could be called experts.

His characteristic was [Swordsmanship (S-)], which can be called almost the best at the moment.

Since a kendo master has the characteristic of swordsmanship, he would have definitely won if Bae Do-hyun had not been there.

In fact, Wang Cheonmyeong was a talented person who even took first place at the beginning of Connect in his previous life.

‘Well, I’ll leave the praise here.’

Although we had a connection in the past, it was created from a bond built up over a decade. Currently, he was just a stranger.

And even in my past life, meeting him was not that pleasant.

Player waiting room before the finals.

Kuuk.

I can feel the grip strength in the hand I shook. Are you trying to fight for power?

“Mr. Bae Do-hyeon. I had a great time in the preliminaries. “You have very outstanding skills.”

Clutter.

“yes. I also enjoyed Wang Cheonmyeong’s match. “I heard you have considerable sword skills, right?”

Coo.

The two joined hands turned white because blood could not flow through them.

‘What is it that I don’t like about this guy so much that he’s arguing like this?’

Bae Do-hyun thought about applying a little more force, but stopped. It wouldn’t be fun to get too discouraged before playing the main game.

“Sigh. I recognize your skills. But I couldn’t feel the dignity that matched it. Rather than showing off one’s own strength, the strong must be considerate of the weak and respect others. “Don’t you think so?”

What kind of novel sound is this?

‘As expected, people don’t change easily.’

Wang Cheon-myeong was an avid reader of martial arts novels and was famous for spewing out extremely unfamiliar remarks, saying that he would convey the agreement and romance of martial arts to Connect.

I don’t know if he didn’t have the skills, but since he was a high ranker, everyone had no choice but to accept his words.

As a result, I ended up acting like a charlatan.

So, there were occasional arguments with Bae Do-hyun, who didn’t particularly like pretentious behavior or speech.

“well. I’ve never really thought of myself as a strong person. “I just do my best at every moment.”

“It’s no use trying to evade responsibility like that. “I will hold you accountable on behalf of the players who were unfairly eliminated from the preliminaries!”

Then he slapped away the hand he had shaken. It looked like his hand was a little sore.

‘Anyway, I’m sorry.’

Bae Do-hyeon clicked his tongue and asked while looking into Wang Cheon-myeong’s eyes.

“Rather, I would like to ask. Mr. Wang Cheonmyeong, you passed Group C, right? In Group C, Chinese players formed a team to slaughter players from other countries and monopolize the qualifying spots. What do you think about that? From what I’ve seen, it doesn’t seem like a very classy thing to do…?”

“It was just a purely strategic move. Just like you, slaughtering players without thinking…”

“Ah, as you said, did you push them down to a number that was several times greater in order to be considerate of the weak and respect the other party? Can you guarantee that no player was unfairly rejected in the process? “I’m sorry, but I think Wang Cheon-myeong’s claim is nothing more than a far-fetched statement.”

Wang Tianming bit his lip for a moment as if he was speechless, then forced a smile and opened his mouth again.

“Tsk. You may think so, but your way of playing is clearly wrong. “I…”

“Stop. Let’s stop arguing. I don’t know what responsibility you’re going to take, but if you can, try it. “Not with your mouth, but with your skills.”

Bae Do-hyeon covered Wang Cheon-myeong’s mouth and walked straight towards the final stage.

He wasn’t a guy who could be persuaded with words anyway.

‘He’s not fundamentally a bad guy, but his perspective is too narrow. This time, I’ll have to let you get away from that stubbornness a little faster.’

If that were the case, he might become a quite useful companion.

‘So let’s get it right first.’

Bae Do-hyun clenched his fists with a mischievous expression.

The broadcast of the finals attracted the attention of more people than expected.

Most people acknowledged that Bae Do-hyun, who has been winning with overwhelming ability, has a high chance of winning, but some expected unexpected results.

[First Guild Academy Special Entrance Exam ‘Controversy’. Live broadcast of the finals – CNT Sports]

Many people were watching the broadcast today on Connect’s own broadcast channel. And even though there were multiple chat windows in operation, so many people were chatting that it exploded.

-uh. right. ship. Bae Do-hyun wins anyway! Let’s go, let’s go!

└Hasty speculation is prohibited. Didn’t you see Wang Cheonmyeong’s game? To be honest, other than Bae Do-hyun massacring civilians in the preliminaries, there wasn’t anything that stood out.

└Funny sound. There was no need to show off your skills. Because you can’t compete one-on-one.

└The Koreans’ spirit is victorious. Can’t you tell just by looking at that Bae Do-hyun’s resources have run out since the round of 16? Since I was stuck with the experts, I somehow held on and finally made it up.

└Daejin’s luck was good. How was it possible to avoid only the talented players and make it to the finals? Honestly, we need to investigate whether the Koreans manipulated the bracket.

└Okay. If I had met any of our Chinese players, I would have been devastated. Hahaha

└I’m so shocked that I can’t even say anything. Do the Chinese really think that way?

└Korea has long been famous for its spirit of winning among itself. Just wait and see, Wang Cheon-myeong will trash Bae Do-hyeon. The problem is that small countries try to beat large countries in the first place.

└The person above crossed the line. A big country or a small country in the 21st century.

└It’s not wrong, so why are you saying that? China is a big country, so is Korea a big country?

Our CNT Sports Channel complies with broadcast review regulations and chat window malicious comments regulations. Please understand in advance that access may be blocked due to sanctions. Then, we will continue the analysis. Commissioner, then what strategy do you think Bae Do-hyun will come up with in this final?”

“Yes, our Bae Do-hyun can handle a wide variety of weapons at a high level, so there is a wide range of strategies to choose from. So it’s really difficult to predict. Since Wang Cheon-myeong’s strength is long-sword skills, I think it would be more advantageous to choose a long-reach weapon such as a spear or a long-range weapon.”

“Then what do you expect the odds of winning to be?”

“Many experts are of the opinion that Bae Do-hyun has the advantage by a split or 6 to 4 ratio. But personally, I expect Bae Do-hyun to win by more than 9:1.”

“Is it okay if I ask why?”

The commentator scratched his head slightly and answered with a smile.

“hmm. Just by looking at it, the force is different, isn’t it? Bae Do-hyeon is very relaxed, while Wang Cheon-myeong grits his teeth and looks like sparks are flying out of his eyes. “It’s the finals, but it feels like a champion and a challenger.”

“Yes, that’s true. “Then is there any other reason?”

“My intuition from my career in martial arts speaks for itself. Bae Do-hyun definitely won this one. “It means that this strong intuition is coming.”

“Ah yes. okay. Then…”

Caster Park Jin-hwan had a hunch that it would be difficult to see this commentator on the next broadcast.

The finals have begun.

As before, Wang Cheon-myeong was wearing traditional clothing that looked like something from a Chinese martial arts drama over his leather armor.

‘The concept is very consistent.’

In fact, I heard that they trained swords at the Hwasan School in reality, even if it was just a concept.

And although the current outfit is a bit clumsy, it was the actual training outfit of the volcano sect.

There were rumors going around that his skills were so outstanding that he had already developed a huge fandom among Chinese people.

First of all, Wang Cheonmyeong’s appearance, with a long sword drawn and wearing a Hwasan sect outfit, looked quite convincing.

“I will defeat you here today and prove that the sword of the volcano is the best in the world!”

‘Ah xx. ‘My hands and feet feel like they’re going to shrivel up.’

I tried to do that when watching martial arts magazines or movies, but when he said that in front of my eyes, I lost my fighting power.

Bae Do-hyeon tried to look calm and took out a long sword similar to Wang Cheon-myeong’s from his inventory.

‘I can’t lose either. ‘In a fight like this, the one who loses the momentum loses.’

There was no way to shock Wang Tianming by defeating him in the usual way. For those who are obsessed with concepts, there is no choice but to fight back with concepts.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Wang Tianming, but I think the difference in skill between us is too great to compete with you normally.”

Okay.

Bae Do-hyeon plunged his long sword into the floor of the sparring room and drew a small circle with himself at the center.

“So I won’t leave this circle during these finals. “If I deviate from this by even one step, I will admit defeat.”

Just as in martial arts, Go Soo shows mercy to Ha Ha, Bae Do Hyun decided to impose a penalty himself.

And that stimulated not only Wang Tianming but also countless others watching this game.

-crazy. Are you really thinking that you are an absolute expert?

-Such a cocky XX. This is an insult to all Chinese players!

└No, that’s a bit much. Why is the whole China talking all of a sudden…

└Shut up, you arrogant Korean bastards. You’re such a liar just because you’re a little ahead of the game level! This has crossed the line.

-It’s better. Wang Cheonmyeong, let’s destroy that arrogant bastard and bring the next Connect TO from China!

The Chinese went into a frenzy, and the Korean side didn’t say anything kind either.

-No, why bother? Can’t I just win? What if we let our guard down like that and our TO is taken away?

└Really. If you represent your country, you have to do your best no matter how small the match is! He really has a personality like X.

└I’m a bit dissatisfied, too, but isn’t that why I’m a member of the national team? This is the academy entrance exam…

└I don’t know. If you lose like that, I’m really going to find Bae Do-hyun and grab him by the collar! Why are you the XX with our lottery ticket?

└Are you really going? I think it would be crazy if I met Bae Do-hyun in real life. I wish you peace in advance.

└I’m also Korean, but it’s a bit like that. It would be nice if Bae Do-hyun won, but if he doesn’t, what right do you have to criticize him? In fact, the country didn’t do anything for me, and I made it to the finals on my own.

└I agree with what you said above. We only receive reflected benefits. I didn’t leave the lottery ticket to Bae Do-hyun, so why is there such a fuss?

Not only the chat window, but also broadcasters from various countries were voicing their concerns.

There was a lot of talk about whether there was a reason to take risks and perform like that.

This is the reaction from the outside, so what would the person involved, Wang Tianming, think?

“Still, I thought we could communicate well, but I was foolish. “I will crush you with all my heart!”

Wang Cheonmyeong, who was shouting with a red-faced face, seemed really angry.

‘hmm. I did what he asked me to do, so why am I angry? Consideration for the weak and respect for others. what is the problem?’

While Bae Do-hyun was tilting his head, the final match finally began.
