Park Sung-Tae stroked his fine beard and pondered. He had worked as Bubblegum’s manager for five years, but this incident still surprised him.

'It usually doesn't become anything big with just one interaction...'

Park Sung-Tae had been in the industry for five years and Bubblegum had streamed for over ten years.

Bubblegum never skipped a day other than holidays in those ten years. Once he started, he always streamed for around eight hours and frequently ran into other streamers. He ran into so many different streamers that it became stale.

'But why this guy...'

However, this one interaction with Almond began to trend. Was there something special?

“Well, I like this job because of unpredictable things like this."

Park Sung-Tae began searching for Almond in different communities and had no trouble finding his profile.

'Thirties... good looking, good at games. And...'

“Hm?”

One particular detail caught Park Sung-Tae’s attention.

'It's only been three weeks since he started playing virtual reality games?'

And that was only his second round of Battle Large?

'Wait, but this guy... didn't he bounce bullets away with arrows?'

Park Sung-Tae replayed the footage of Almond and Bubblegum's interaction. Thankfully, it had just been uploaded to YouTube. The video was well-edited and got to the point.

"The cinematography is crazy."

The production level made Almond stand out even more, but nothing regarding what happened had been faked.

Kang.

The arrow and bullet collided in the air. Park Sung-Tae correctly saw what he recalled.

Hitting a bullet with an arrow… That took a surprising level of precision and intuition. Who could make such a play with victory so close?

The comments thought the same.

— ???

— What was that?

— Is that possible?

— This must be staged. How does that make sense? LOL

— Staged? But it's Bubblegum.

— Do you think Bubblegum would stage this?

— Bubble wouldn't do that... he's just bad...

— Is it not staged? Then it must be CG or something. This is an edited video.

— That's crazy.

— Three times in a row? That won't happen even in movies.

Everyone assumed it was either staged or used special effects.

'Not a chance.'

Park Sung-Tae shook his head because that wasn't the case.

Bubblegum would never stage something like this. He streamed for over ten years without a single controversy.

Then was it special effects? Wrong again.

The editor had no reason to enhance the gameplay with CG because anyone could rewatch the stream on Treevy and immediately find out the truth.

It still seemed unbelievable despite knowing it hadn’t been staged and special effects hadn’t been used.

'That's... his second round?'
