TGAT 09

Chapter 09

Ding~

The clear, ringing metallic sound, like a bell, left both Kim Yong-ju and the viewers watching the broadcast momentarily speechless.

“Damn… crazy.”

Kim Yong-ju was startled by his own instinctive exclamation at the absurd situation.

• Hahahahaha

• Haha, a frying pan? A frying pan here?

• What’s with the sense of variety show humor lol. Seriously, leaving the gun and swinging a frying pan?

• And he hit it even though we can’t see because of the smoke.

• Wasn’t that just lucky?

“It’s not that I was lucky. I gauged the direction by the sound of the magazine and swung accordingly.”

• Huh? You swung knowing that?

• Whoa… you actually heard that sound?

• Crazy physical skill

• Wow… this is legendary.

• 48 kills. Almost half of them solo.

“Wait… you’re saying you hit it intentionally? Really?”
“Yes. I thought it would be more fun than just shooting and killing.”

Kim Yong-ju just laughed.
Who would have thought someone could win with a frying pan in a situation where losing was a real possibility?

“Time to verify! Is it really skill, or just luck?”

Kim Yong-ju played the very last scene of the replay.

“I can’t hear anything.”
“It’s very quiet. If you turn up the sound, you might hear it.”

He tilted his head, increased the volume…

Click—

A sound passed in an instant, and Kim Yong-ju, in disbelief, replayed it.

Click—

The faint but distinct sound of a magazine cycling came through the speakers.

“Crazy….”

• Whoa… what.

• That was real?

• Haha, he swung a frying pan just hearing that?

• Insane… heart of a beast.

• Wow… this guy’s a true gaming master. Among streamers, his physical skill might be top-tier.

• Definitely. Could probably go head-to-head with pros.

The energy in the room heated up.

“Now! Isn’t one try a bit disappointing? Aren’t you curious whether the first was luck or real skill?”

Even after this, anyone skeptical would find reasons to doubt. At this point, suspicion almost worked in his favor.

• Ohh!! This time it’ll go in!

• What competition? Shouldn’t we raise the tier to Diamond this time?

• Haha, if he wins again here, it’s undeniable.

• Let’s just cooperate a bit. No need to kill each other, alright?

The second and third games went the same way.
Though the tier was higher than the previous match, he still secured first place each time, imprinting his incredible physical skill on the viewers.

“Wow… he’s really insane.”

Kim Yong-ju ran a hand over his goosebumps. All three games were the same: overwhelmingly first place.

• At this point, does proving physical skill even matter?

• ?? What are you talking about? Today’s show is about inviting a gaming master; physical skill isn’t the point!

• True! Still, he’s ridiculously good at Soulslike and Gun games.

• Mr. Wick… just Mr. Wick.

Looking at the chat, Kim Yong-ju realized he had let his guard down, dazzled by the overwhelming skill.

“That’s right! Today’s first segment, ‘Your Physical Limits,’ isn’t just about proving skill—it’s about how well you can play various games! Time for the second game.”

The second was a rhythm game.

The map was called Ghost, inspired by The Phantom of the Opera, and had frustrated countless challengers before.

It wasn’t just a matter of speed, sync, or rhythm—it also included visual effects that obscured the map or made it blurry, making an already difficult map even harder.

“Missed one. Slightly too fast.”
“Wow… what….”

Kim Yong-ju stared, mouth agape, at the results on screen.

• Is this for real?

• Absolute accuracy 99.9% lol

• Wow, so precise.

• Speed 1… lol, is this real?

• Are we allowed to clear it this easily?

• Others are struggling just to clear one like that?

He casually made statements that would shock any streamer who had ever tried the map.

“My… goodness… who did I invite?”

• If the doctor doesn’t know, how could we?

• Seriously. This is a true gaming master.

• Wow… next! Next game!

• This is next-level.

Kim Joo-yong was excited.
He expected some skill, but not this level.

“Next up is a racing game!”

Even the third game, a racing game, was tackled without a keyboard—

“Of course, he’s using a racing wheel!”

Song Jun once again showed unbelievable skill on a random car and track selected by viewers, taking first place.

Even in fighting games:

• Wait… isn’t this ranked?

• Yep, that’s the doctor’s account ranked lol

• Isn’t that a terrible character? Who uses that?

• Haha, reevaluation? Someone’s using it that well?

• Haha, people will pick it more now. Makes it look easy.

• Three perfect games in a row lol

Even in the legendary league:

• Picking “Science Fruit”?

• ??? What did I just see?

• Did he actually enter?

• Haha, it’s Gold, right? How is Gold beating unranked?

• Only ran ranked 4 times, and won all 4.

• Even items were basic only.

It was the same across other games. Every game, he dominated with his own style.
Moves others couldn’t replicate, one by one.

• Is this even a human?

• Must’ve been a console in a past life lol

• Can skill truly cross genres?

• At this point, he’s not just a gaming master, he’s a master of bad games too?

• Lol, triple-master of trash games

• And the scary part is, this isn’t even a joke.

By the end of the broadcast, the number of viewers had doubled.

• Haha, record viewers reached.

• Doctor Kim’s really on fire~ 24-hour non-stop, and it started insanely well lol

• Indeed, congrats congrats

• Haha, straw method is the best.

“Straw method? Everything here is due to creativity and execution! Look at how I sourced a creative studio when no one cared! That’s why I’m a doctor!”

• Haha, explain the correlation between being a doctor and sourcing quickly.

• Straw mode ON!

• Haha, thanks to that, record viewers reached.

“Where are all these viewers coming from? Usually, it’s half this number.”

• Coordinates shared in the community lol, Triple Trash Master appeared.

• That “triple trash” lol, you have to admit the master skill.

Clips of his gameplay went viral across gaming communities, drawing more viewers curious to see for themselves.

Song Jun made even these viewers his fans.

“My goodness. I’ve seen specialists in some genres, but never someone who plays like this.”

Kim Yong-ju couldn’t calm his amazement.
Watching him play any genre gave the impression of a near-mechanical mastery.

• Proven. Not hacks, purely skill.

• Haha, all those insisting it’s hacks or manipulation—where are they now?

“Proof is enough. Claiming manipulation now would be shameless. I guarantee it’s legit.”

Manipulation was impossible. Kim Yong-ju had even organized this gaming master invitation out of curiosity for his skill.

Through the ongoing viewer chatter, one comment caught his eye:

• The only games not broken are the ones Jay hasn’t challenged yet.

“That’s true. With this skill, every challenge he takes on could easily be conquered, no matter the game.”
“Flattering. But I do want to break more records. There are still plenty of games where records can be challenged.”

After nearly four hours of intense focus, Song Jun remained relaxed.
Or at least, acted relaxed for the broadcast.

“Now! Isn’t it time to recognize this as a true gaming master? Someone showing this level across genres, bad games, good games—it’s unprecedented.”

Regardless, Song Jun’s value didn’t diminish.

“Wow… today’s broadcast is legendary.”

By the end, he’d shown everything. Viewer reaction was electric.
There have been skilled streamers before, especially speedrunners.
But Song Jun was different. He mastered unfamiliar games quickly and effortlessly.

“Already the last segment. Just curious—Creative Studio. The name doesn’t scream ‘gaming channel.’ Any reason?”

He chuckled at the memory of Ju-Young Seok’s question.

“Yes. That’s right. It’s my dream, but I don’t want to only play games. Hence the channel name. Like Dr. Kim, really.”

Kim Yong-ju smiled brightly. He understood. He had pursued challenges relentlessly and achieved his dream.
He hoped this rookie streamer’s dream would come true as well.

“I’ll support that dream. Somehow, I feel it’s going to succeed big time.”

Of course, he intended to help a little.
First of all, the person seems solid—no arrogance, no showboating, no tension. Skill aside.

“All right! That’s it for part 1! Don’t underestimate middle-aged gamers! Middle-aged people can have pure love for gaming too! This has been Dr. Kim, the middle-aged gamer!”
“Nice to meet you. This was Jay from Creative Studio. You-ba!”

• You-ba!

• You-baah! Ah!

• That was a legendary broadcast. Not sure what I even saw.

• Gotta subscribe to Jay on YouTube lol

• Makes me curious too

• No videos yet, and the page looks empty. But he’ll probably start YouTube.

• Agreed. Looks empty though. Wouldn’t look like a YouTuber. Subscribing anyway.

20,000 viewers began searching for “Creative Studio” on YouTube.

Subscribers, previously around 1,500 before the broadcast, started increasing exponentially.

1,500 → 2,500 → 4,000.

And the number kept growing.
