Malicious Snipe Streaming (14)
City Mafia is a game of freedom.
If your physical skills allow, you can climb any terrain.
If you want, you can dual-wield pistols.
“Then isn’t it possible to play a gun game… without a gun?”
[Sold pistol: ‘38 S&W’]
Fights need money.
First step—sell the tutorial reward pistol and buy my first item.
[Purchased armor: ‘Bulletproof Coat’]
Hmm. Nice.
A long coat down to my knees—it looked perfect.
「StarWar9thPlaythroughNewbie donated 1,000 won!」
▶ Holy crap… what did he do this time? Is he going for assassin meta??
A bulletproof coat and a dagger.
The chat exploded with wild theories.
「Wow, assassin in City Mafia? ㅋㅋ」
「Bruh ㅋㅋ that’s spicy」
「Who needs guns, this guy himself is a weaponㅋㅋㅋ」
…Assassin?
Why are they expecting that?
“Guys, stop dreaming. Be realistic. You think assassins work in a gun game?”
Chat erupted.
「?」
「??」
「Bro…ㅋㅋ」
「StarWar9thPlaythroughNewbie donated 1,000 won!」
▶ ????? If you’re not gonna assassinate, then how the hell do you play a gunless gun game?
How? Easy.
I’ll exploit the loopholes.
“Get your clip buttons ready.”
Because seriously—how could an item deadlier than a gun be priced the same as a bulletproof coat?
“I’ll rewrite the meta.”
Behold. The most underrated weapon that will open a new era of City Mafia!
[Purchased: ‘Pipe Bomb’]
[Purchased: ‘Pipe Bomb’]

[Purchased: ‘Pipe Bomb’]
…
I can’t shoot, but throwing things? Easy.
A bomber—practical and stylish.
I was about to brag, “How’s that for unexpected?” when…
「Hmm…」
「ㅋㅋ pipe bomb」
「Newbie wouldn’t know」
…Why such a lukewarm reaction?
“…Wait, wasn’t that creative? Imagine 40 guys camping with pistols—drop this in and it’s a jackpot, right?”
「StarWar9thPlaythroughNewbie donated 1,000 won!」
▶ ㅋㅋ sure, try it. That only worked back at launch.
Back at launch?
Guess I’ll see for myself.
Gunfire roared.
Following the sound, I found a horde of Blue teammates.
“Wait, this is all of Blue Team?”
We were holding the choke, waiting until our mission-runners came back with money for Thompsons.
A standard early-game strat.
But then I realized why pipe bombs weren’t popular anymore.
The moment you showed yourself, bullets rained down with PC-game precision.
So if someone lobbed a pipe bomb?
—Ssshhhhh.
A Red’s pipe bomb flew in.
“Shoot it!!”
Blue Team all aimed skyward.
―BANG BANG BANG!
―BOOM!
No way.
They shot a live pipe bomb out of the air.
In a newbie bracket, seriously?
「ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!」
▶ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ so now what? Should we just apologize to StrongBulldozer?
So they thought bombs were useless?
No—this just made it fun.
“I was worried I was overreaching, but thanks to the players, now I know I’m right.”
Chat: 「??」 「What?」
Bombs weren’t a failed strat. Players just weren’t using the game’s freedom right.
Time for a tweak.
I climbed to a rooftop.
Dangerous, but my weapon didn’t need direct exposure.
Problem was just one thing: bombs getting shot midair.
“If bullets are the problem… then wrap the bomb in a bulletproof coat.”
“Bulletproof pipe bomb. Incoming delivery!”
―Whoosh!
The Red Team fired desperately.
―BANG BANG!
But the bombs didn’t detonate.
“Because this is a bulletproof coat, you bastards!!”
In midair, the coat unraveled, and eight pipe bombs rained down.
“Explosion… is art.”
―BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Even in newbie ranks, shooting all of those was impossible—unless they were hacking.
“……What the hell?”
An ally’s stunned voice, as kill logs filled the screen.
[+14,127 points]
27 kills in a row
Base captured
5+ enemies killed by explosives
First match bonus
Top Honor Player
[Promoted to ‘Enforcer’]
Money overflowed.
I dashed to the shop.
“Which gun’s good? Thompson 1928? That one?”
But chat went dead silent.
「ㅋㅋㅋㅋ」
「Bro… 27 kills???」
「Pipe bomb rain metaㅋㅋㅋ」
「14k points in one go… insane」
Then a huge donation popped:
「StarWar9thPlaythroughNewbie donated 10,000 won!」
▶ I’m Makshin, current rank #1. That was so insane I literally screamed ‘Kyaaahoo!’ while doing two half-somersaults.
“…Why the hell would Rank 1 Makshin scream ‘Kyaaahoo’ and do two and a half somersaults?”
It hit me.
The goal isn’t to snowball the game. It’s to snowball the stream.
“Anyone clipped that?”
「Yeah」
「Already like 10 clipsㅋㅋ」
Exactly.
I’m not a pro gamer.
I’m a streamer.
It’s not the game I need to snowball with brilliance—it’s the broadcast.
“Uploaders, put my name in the title, please.”
YouTube subs: 20k and climbing.
The snowball had started rolling.
Sphinx, Day 4 of City Mafia.
One highlight spread across the entire streaming world: The 27-Kill Pipe Bomb Clip.
「ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!」
▶ Forget the pistol—sell it, buy pipe bombs and a coat. Trust me. Sphinx strat.
“Wait, sell the pistol? Then what do I fight with? …What? The Sphinx Bomb? He got 27 kills in one throw?? How??”
Clips flooded communities.
(Trending) [27-Kill Sphinx Bomb Full Video]
⤷ Wtf lol
⤷ Godlike
⤷ Who even is this guy?
⤷ He’s a streamer called Sphinx. Only 4 days in. That clip happened 30 minutes into his first match.
⤷ Wait… Sphinx, the Star War Challenge guy??
(Trending) [Sphinx vs StrongBulldozer Rivalry]
⤷ Just saw the vids, the tension is nuts
⤷ So who won?
⤷ Haven’t fought yet
⤷ Rank mismatch
⤷ Nah, Bulldozer chickened out, hasn’t streamed lol
⤷ Wasn’t Bulldozer an FPS ranker? Washed up??
“Washed up? Me?”
StrongBulldozer’s jaw clenched.
Why was everyone suddenly rooting for Sphinx, not him?
He’d built this up with snipe videos first!
Now Sphinx was stealing his thunder.
“Ffs. I asked if the edit could be done today. Where’s the answer?”
His editor’s assistant nervously replied, “Uh, just got word—Miso Editor can start today.”
“Good. As soon as I fight Sphinx, send her the footage. Immediately.”
Bulldozer had gone on streaming break, practicing privately on a company account.
Cowardice? No. Just caution.
‘Dammit… can’t shoot for shit, but that movement of his…’
Sphinx was supposed to be trash at FPS. He had literal 0% accuracy in Star War.
So why did Bulldozer feel like he might actually lose?
His new manager whispered, “M-Maybe ignore him? Switch games? The feud might not help our channel…”
Bulldozer’s glare cut like knives.
“Are you saying I’m gonna lose to that bastard?”
“N-no! I just meant your subs and viewers are growing already, so maybe this fight isn’t necessary—”
He scoffed.
“You know why your predecessor quit? Team Leader Kang?”
“I heard he moved to another company…”
“Bullshit. He got fired.”
“…What?”
“I had him fired. Treated me like trash, so I asked the CEO to replace him. Simple.”
The rookie manager flinched as Bulldozer clapped his shoulder, whispering:
“Don’t worry. I’m not going to lose.”
“Yes, sir. You’re amazing at FPS.”
“Me? FPS? Haha… you’re naïve. That’s why I like you.”
He smirked.
“Just keep being obedient. I’ll send you the video tonight or tomorrow. Make sure it goes to Miso Editor. Got it?”
“Yes! Understood!”
That night, 8 p.m.
StrongBulldozer showered, logged into his VR capsule, and checked messages.
「CipherGhost: File attached」
「CipherGhost: Valid until next patch」
Opening it, he saw the program:
「Invincibility: on/off」
「Perfect Dodge: 20m / 50m / 100m / 200m / 300m」
「Auto-Hit: on/off」
「Show All Enemy Locations: on/off」
「Remove Smoke Effects: on/off」
…
One click—and he could be a god.
It was his insurance.
His guarantee that he would never lose.
