Isekai Online Game Developer - Chapter 83



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

Imperially-sponsored military strategy officer examination.

It was held in a completely different atmosphere from other ‘Galaxy Craft’ competitions.

Previously, there were over 1,000 participants.

But so far, the list has narrowed down to 32 contestants based on competition results and ladder scores.

Only one winner from the tournament format will be able to take up a position as an Imperial Military Strategist.

“Sarah, show off your skills to your heart’s content!”

“Yorgo, you are the last hope of your family!”

“If I fail this time, I’ll have to enroll in the academy!”

The cheering was so fervent that it reminded me of the Academy entrance exam.

As the real match began, all the spectators had to leave.

Family members and friends who followed the contestants left the testing center, shouting their final cheers.

“Then let’s start the test.”

The air became heavy as the Knight Commander declared.

It was a completely different atmosphere from the gaming competitions that took place amidst enthusiastic cheers.

This is the imperial military base.

A position to select strategists who will support the empire.

The judging criteria could also be different.

“As you know, this is a position to select a new strategist for the Imperial Family. The evaluation criteria are not simply based on victory. They are based on whether you can take charge of the Imperial Army’s military. They are based on how effective your strategy is. Consider this and enter the game.”

It’s not just about winning that matters.

The capabilities shown there. The understanding of strategy. And how it applies to the Imperial Army.

All of this is comprehensively evaluated to select the final strategist.

‘But why did you decide to make that a game, you crazy bastards?’

Looking at the Knight Commander who was spitting out words and giving a long speech, Rai thought.

I laughed in vain as I looked at the participants and reporters who were listening to those words with serious expressions.

‘Most of these people haven’t even graduated from any military strategy academy, so can we really judge them by their gaming skills?’

Rai had come to advise on the selection process for military strategists.

To be honest, I thought it was ridiculous to choose a strategist through a game.

But looking at this situation, it seems like the royal family actually thinks it’s valid.

It was a bewildering experience for him, who had only played games as games since his previous life.

Anyway, that’s how the strategy officer selection test began.

“Ahh! Player Yohan! Already-”

“… … ”

“Ugh, ugh. Sorry.”

Rai sits on the judging table and watches the games with the Knight Commander and the Minister of War.

Without realizing it, I got into the habit of raising my voice when I was giving explanations.

“Uh, ahem. Player Yohan has already won an international competition hosted by the Imperial Family. Tera play is truly an art. When it comes to establishing strategies for the Imperial Army, a Tera user would certainly be appropriate.”

“Hmm… I see.”

But this was a solemn strategist selection test (selected through a game).

There was no need to raise your voice and give commentary like at a competition.

The real Rai worked hard to explain the users’ play and level.

The test progressed like that and reached the quarterfinals.

It was a showdown between Kong Gino and a Terra user.

“Ahh…! That’s it!”

“What is that? The Kong Gino contestant isn’t pulling out the drone.”

“4 drones, 4 drone rush!”

“4 drones?”

‘We must win no matter what…!’

As soon as the game starts.

Kong Zino, who moved his hands at incredible speed and created a spawning pond, stopped producing drones, his workers.

Instead, I created six Zerglings, the most basic unit of the Zergling race, and immediately attacked the enemy lines.

“It seems like a strategy to quickly devour… no, to attack the weak Terra early on. The idea is to use all the minerals gathered early on to produce Zerglings and attack!”

“Oh…! So you’ve exploited the opponent’s weakness.”

Rye was impressed.

Of course, the 4-Drone was an effective early game strategy in the previous life as well.

But, at a time when ‘Galaxy Craft’ had not been released to the world for long.

Moreover, it is the first time that it has been used in such a tense atmosphere.

It was an impossible task with just a little research and determination.

“As expected, your boldness and skill are extraordinary. It is also commendable that you were the first to come up with that strategy.”

It’s a strategy that everyone will eventually follow.

Whoever first discovered that raw strategy is a genius.

Knowing that, Rai valued Kong Gino even more.

“It ended so quickly.”

“The last match is between Yohan and Kong Gino.”

“As expected, the best players are still there. Kong Gino is also excellent, but he came in second place in every game.”

Kong Gino’s quarterfinal match ended in an instant.

Only the final remained.

Kong Gino’s final opponent is Yohan, someone he has lost to before.

“Do you think that the skills of the Kong Gino applicant are lacking in your opinion, Riot Lord?”

“That’s not true. They are incredibly skilled. But is it the case that the Zergling race is particularly bad in terms of their characteristics and luck in the finals? If you look at their skills alone, they’re not lacking… I don’t know.”

“hmm…”

Ahead of the final match, Kong Gino was nervous and thinking about his next strategy.

‘Originally, I should have used the 4-drone strategy in the final. But the semifinal opponent was too strong, so I used it first.’

Kong Gino raised his head and looked at Yohan.

Unlike Kong Gino, who was very nervous, Yohan looked relaxed.

It was also because he already had a record of beating Kong Gino.

‘Yohan just now probably prepared a countermeasure against the 4-Drone. Should I use that to my advantage and use a different strategy? If I fail the 4-Drone, it’s basically the same as losing. It’ll be almost impossible to build up later. But I can’t beat Yohan’s Terra with a normal strategy…’

It was a tremendous agony.

What strategy should I use?

It didn’t seem possible to beat John using the usual, conventional strategies.

But the 4-drone strategy has already been seen, so they must have prepared for it to some extent.

After much thought, Kong Gino made up his mind.

‘Going with 4 drones.’

4 Drones is an early game strategy that is extremely difficult to block for the Terra race.

Since I only saw it once, there was a high chance that I wouldn’t be able to deal with it properly.

4Drones were the answer.

Kong Gino chose to take a bold gamble.

“Let’s get started.”

And the final game began.

As soon as the game started, Kong Gino quickly moved his hands and started making spawning ponds.

Now just pick your Juggling and start rushing.

“Another 4-drone strategy.”

“Do you think it will work, Riot Lord?”

“I don’t know. Since we’ve already seen it once, it depends on how Yohan responds.”

Six zerglings quickly running through the darkness of the map.

Kong Gino continued to produce juggling balls, moving his trembling hands.

And the zerglings arrived at Johan’s base.

“It doesn’t end as quickly as the previous game.”

“It seems like John the Contestant has figured out a way too.”

Kong Gino continues to destroy Johan’s workers by sending out juggling balls.

But John persevered and built barracks and bunkers.

As time passed, John began to accumulate troops.

‘You came up with a way to deal with 4 drones in such a short time. Even Yohan is not ordinary.’

Having come this far, Rai knew what was going to happen next.

If you fail the 4-Drone Rush and go into a mid- to long-term battle, Kong Gino will definitely be at a disadvantage.

John quickly realized this and withstood the early rush to the barracks and bunkers.

“I don’t know what will happen if we do this.”

‘No, this is disadvantageous to Kong Gino.’

After John endured the early days.

The Knight Commander of the Military Council said so in a game that seemed like it would be a long one.

In fact, it was a situation where Kong Gino was virtually defeated.

Rye watched the remaining game in silence.

‘I’m going to stop this…! If I do this…’

Kong Gino was confused when his initial rush was blocked.

I never thought you would endure so tenaciously.

He started building up late, but was slower than Johan.

‘Still, we have to win…!’

A game where Kong Gino should have been defeated in the middle after failing the first 4 drones.

But Kong Gino’s persistence was not easy.

Somehow I managed to hold on and make it to the very end of the game.

It was still a disadvantage, and defeat was virtually expected.

Still, Kong Gino did not give up.

‘I don’t want to come in second again. Now…!’

I didn’t want to be the runner-up anymore.

I didn’t want to get the disapproving stares of my family members asking if I was second again.

I wanted to show that I also have something I’m best at.

Now I wanted to prove that I was a useful person, not just a slacker who just plays games.

Actually, I wanted to show you Kong Gino too.

That you can do it. That you are a useful person.

“I support you. Thank you for your hard work, Kong Jino-nim.”

But reality has not changed.

Z2dKbDJFSCtSbEo3WFlpUEN0eDQxV2padUdlWE1IQ0wzRnBybytKZUNKcDlEWXhvTG1vd2pBcHE0dHhsdWFNTA

Kong Gino was eventually defeated by Yohan once again.

It was second place.

Kong Gino sat down with a dejected expression and couldn’t get up.

’22nd 2nd place… ‘

If I failed this time, I was going to give up and go to the academy.

When the decision was finally made, my heart ached so much.

Despite all that effort, I never once received the reward of first place.

‘There is no second place in war.’

That thought suddenly came to mind.

In war, only the last survivor remembers.

No one remembers second place.

It was similar to my situation.

“Thank you all for coming. You are all incredible strategists. And as previously announced, we are only looking to hire one new strategist.”

After everything is over.

Kong Gino stood there with a gloomy expression, while Yohan stood there with an excited expression.

“The strategist who will be with us,”

The Knight Commander opens his mouth and makes his final announcement.

The result was obvious.

“… It’s the bean wonder of Count Gino’s family.”

“…?!”

“Huh?”

Both of them were startled.

It was clearly Johan who won the last game.

It makes sense for him to become that.

“Didn’t I say that? I look not only at his wins and losses, but also at his qualities as a strategist.”

“But who remembers second place in a war! And Kong Zino is a zergling user. It’s only right for me, a Terra user, to become one…”

Crackle crackle.

An excited John protested, but the Knight Commander shook his head.

“You can’t judge them simply by their playable race. And the people we’ll be fighting in the war against will also be humans. So a user who knows Terra’s countermeasures would be more appropriate.”

“that…”

“And honestly, Johann, you had good luck with your draw. On the other hand, Kong Gino defeated many strong players to make it to the finals. And the strategies he showed along the way were truly amazing. On the other hand, what was your strategy?”

John was speechless.

He has won by using a series of orthodox methods, or strategies that are almost surefire.

Of course, it all required skill and had some unique elements, but that was also the case with Kong Gino.

“And most importantly, the qualities of a leader. In the last game, Kong Gino did not give up even when it seemed like defeat was certain. If it had been the other way around, Johan, would you have been able to do the same? From what I’ve seen, if that had actually happened, you would have run away with your men in front.”

“… … ”

John was speechless.

As the saying goes, the sense of responsibility of Yohan and Kong Gino was different.

If you ask who is fit to be a leader leading the military.

The wicked Kong Gino, who knew that responsibility, was in good company.

“Come here, Kong Gino Kyung.”

Kong Gino walked towards the knight captain with his mouth still open.

“Second place is not remembered in war. But second place is still good.”

He is the second son of Count Gino, two years younger than the eldest son, and is 22 years old this year. He is the 22nd runner-up.

Later, he remembered that day and said:

-People say that no one remembers second place, but I’ve done second place a lot, so people remember me.

From that day on, imperial military strategy developed by leaps and bounds thanks to Kong Zino’s efforts.
