The Villainess VTuber Rips People Apart-Chapter 95: Daily

I acquired a safe house.

The SerenadeKR VTubers kindly gave it up.

—"Um, Teacher... If you give up the house, where are we supposed to go?"

—"Since we've got a lot of money now, can't we just pay 5 million won and go to a shelter?"

Isn’t there a saying? Teach a person to fish rather than just give them a fish.

The withdrawal and deposit permissions I obtained from the bank’s computer system are just like teaching someone to fish. Once you acquire the permissions, you can effectively keep copying money.

On the other hand, a safe house is a fish.

While it’s nice to have a safe base in this game, the game design itself doesn’t allow players to stay in one place for long.

The ultimate goal of the game is to reach 'Sz-001' on the African continent.

And just like you had to go to the bank's headquarters to obtain the withdrawal and deposit permissions.

To acquire various rewards or items, a process of 'moving to the intended location' is likely necessary.

It’s a game that cannot avoid that.

The fun of this game lies in 'overcoming' the crisis posed by zombies.

However, if you stay holed up in a safe place, there won’t be any crises to face, nor will there be any fun to be had.

So the game forces players to 'move.'

In that sense, instead of building one stronghold, it’s likely that the game will progress by creating multiple strongholds.

The SerenadeKR VTubers, understanding the game, willingly gave up their safe house.

—"Isn’t that because you threatened them with a knife?" —"If they mess up, they’ll end up dead, haha!" —"A special forces soldier climbing a building with his bare hands is holding a knife!!" —"I’d be scared and run away too, haha!" —"As expected, a villainess."

"Oh my, could that be true?"

The viewers might have misunderstood a bit.

Indeed, people seem to have their own perspectives. Of course, I’m a broad-minded villainess who can somewhat respect the perspectives of others.

Being a kind villainess, isn’t it natural that I’d exchange fishing lessons for a fish? If I say that, it makes it seem like I’m at a loss, doesn’t it?

I should think of it as a donation.

[General] Rion, have you washed up?

【Aseorasal】 Day 3 of surviving in the zombie world! 【Nekozuka Rion/EYEAI】

The uncle is all washed up.

[Comments]

Haven't you been sued yet?Is Rion streaming today too?If you keep this up, you’ll really get sued ;;Lately, Rion has been excited to stream, this guy, haha!This guy is going to make Rion stop streaming again.

[General] Isn’t the collaboration starting at 7?

【Aseorasal】 A journey to find food that goes well with black tea 【Aurora/EYEAI】

Did I mistake the broadcast time?

[Comments]

They said they’re doing it first because they wanted to go for a walk. ㄴ (Author) Alone? ㄴ Yeah. ㄴ (Author) Are you out of your mind, haha!All the other streamers are together, but that girl is wandering alone, haha!Villainess (physical prowess)Even if a war breaks out, she’d survive, haha!

Day 3 of Aseorasal.

In fact, the advertisements ended on the first day of the broadcast. This time, Dead Rows employed a 'quantity over quality' strategy, so to speak.

They handed out advertisements to various streamers from around the world and invited them to this 'streamer advertisement server.'

Because of this, it’s said that there are far fewer survivors active on this server than in the typical world.

Since it’s quite a challenging game, many streamers have already been cut off on the first day.

As mentioned before, death in this game means eternal death.

Players who become zombies cannot return to being human.

Their avatars, now zombies, move according to predetermined zombie AI. Even if they log in, they cannot control their avatar directly.

If they end up being taken down by other survivors, they will only be able to observe this world in spectator mode.

The only way to come back to life is if someone extracts their biological data and creates a clone (new avatar) for them.

"Come to think of it, this game is excessively hardcore."

Horror games often serve as barriers to entry, and with the added difficulty, it’s likely to serve as another barrier to entry. Therefore, it probably won’t achieve the same level of popularity as Labyrinthos.

However, the fact that they have built a truly ruined world within the game is undoubtedly appealing.

—"Dead Rows Korea contacted me, and they want to give you additional promotions." —"They want to continuously show your gameplay of Aseorasal to many people." —"If possible, they hope you can clear the game — it’d be great if you could reach 'Sz-001.'"

This morning, Rion, who has been able to avoid going to work thanks to Aseorasal, said that.

Since Aseorasal has a significant barrier to entry, there’s a high likelihood that people will continuously drop out.

So, it meant they wanted me to play a consistent role in maintaining interest.

The greatest secret of this world, 'Sz-001.'

Humans instinctively want to know the identity of the unknown.

When a murder occurs, they want to know who the culprit is, and they also want to know the motive and method of the crime.

So, they likely thought that as I gradually approach 'Sz-001' and reveal the truth of this world, it would provide a unique enjoyment.

By just approaching the truth, I’d inspire the viewers’ motivation.

And the viewers would want to 'somehow survive in this apocalyptic world.'

'Whatever the case may be.'

Even without promotions, I would have played Aseorasal to the end.

After all, there’s nothing to do during the three weeks when the draft starts.

I don’t particularly enjoy abandoning content I’ve started midway.

Paat!

As I pulled the fishing rod with all my might, a fish was hooked at the end of the fishing line.

I pulled the flopping fish out and placed it in the bucket.

Have I caught six so far?

"Just two more to go, and I’ll check the traps on the way back."

—"Traps, haha!" —"Why do you know how to fish, haha!" —"The noble lady enjoys hunting, it seems~" —"Did you live in Africa?" —"Is camping your hobby?"

"Camping is a hobby? Let’s keep it at that."

I answered that while making sure not to lie.

I had learned various survival skills. In fact, I’ve been stranded in the gate a few times.

Even when that’s not the case, every time I go to a dungeon, I sometimes end up camping for as short as three days or as long as over a month.

I didn’t particularly like camping, but I got used to it.

Once you get used to it, you learn to enjoy it. Perhaps that’s the feeling.

"I think this is enough."

Having gathered the daily food supplies, I put them in the cart. Since I still didn’t know how to drive, I decided to carry my things in the cart when I traveled alone.

Of course, pulling the cart would make noise and attract the zombies.

If I were worried about that, I wouldn’t be wandering around alone in the first place.

"Oh? What’s that?"

As I moved while defeating zombies, I suddenly noticed a building.

It was shorter than the bank headquarters I visited last time, but still quite large.

The words 'Fire Department' were prominently displayed.

I left the cart in a suitable spot and headed towards the fire department.

【ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won.】 【Aren’t you going home?】

"I’ll stop by for a moment."

—"You’re not shopping on the way back, haha." —"It looks like there are going to be tons of zombies, haha." —"You might have an accident." —"It looks super dangerous;;" —"Let’s just not go."

The viewers warned me, but I didn’t care and entered.

I didn’t have any special purpose. Aseorasal emphasizes exploration, so there’s nothing wrong with checking out a place I’ve never been before.

Of course, there would be zombies in large buildings like the bank headquarters or the fire department.

"Did you know? Meeting zombies inside a building is much safer than on the street."

—"What nonsense are you talking about, lady?" —"Isn’t it more dangerous inside the building because it’s hard to escape?" —"Is she starting to say weird things again?"

"It’s not weird. If you meet zombies on the street, they can appear from all directions, but inside the building, you’re only surrounded from the front and back."

—"You’ll die if you get surrounded;;" —"So why is getting surrounded the premise? Haha." —"Are you confused with Snake?"

Everyone doesn’t believe me.

I decided to show them directly and loudly knocked on the window frame in the hallway.

Hearing the sound, zombies appeared from the front and back and surrounded me in an instant.

—"Is she crazy?" —"Is she a hopeful suicide case?"

"Watch closely."

I smiled brightly and swung open the window.

Zombies charged at me from the front and back.

The hallway is limited in width.

So it’s inconvenient for many to move at once.

Besides, do zombies even have a word for order?

Whoosh.

I slipped out the window.

Beyond the window, I could see the zombies that were charging at me colliding into each other.

Watching that, I stepped on the window frame and ran along the outer wall of the building.

【Puppeteer donated 1,000 won.】 【Have you ever worked with a circus?】

"As a noble lady, me? That’s a foolish question."

After crossing a few window frames, I reached the last row of zombies.

I went back through the window.

Before me were zombies that started to get tangled due to poor directional changes.

I cautiously guarded against surprise attacks from the ceiling or other directions, but it didn’t seem likely. The zombies here are likely only at infection stages 1 and 2 at best.

Since the width is limited, I should be able to deal with about five to six zombies at a time.

Swish.

With my survival knife, I decapitated one zombie and then another.

The point is to keep piling up the zombies' corpses. That way, I can obstruct the zombies' path and further induce them to fall.

At this point, it can’t even be called a battle or a crisis.

The narrow terrain is incredibly advantageous like this.

That’s why I say that being inside a building is much safer than on the street.

【When will you marry Rion?】 【You’re just always right...】

"Isn’t that a little late to realize?"

Once I took down all the zombies, peace returned to the fire department.

As I walked down the hallway stepping on the zombies' corpses, I came to the central command room.

I casually brought my smartwatch closer, and power was supplied to the fire department, turning on the monitors.

《You have accessed the fire department's computer system and obtained permissions.》 《From now on, you can track the status of survivors in the country from the fire station.》

"Oh."

Updat𝒆d fr𝑜m freewebnøvel.com.

It seems a new feature has opened up.

Let’s try executing it; a huge map appeared with glowing dots appearing here and there.

Blue dots.

Green dots.

Yellow dots.

Just these three, I guess.

Four blue dots appeared.

【Aurora (Survivor)】

【Nekozuka Rion (Survivor)】

【Tanabe Ainatsu (Survivor)】

【Ayano Kouji Sora (Survivor)】

The blue dots were our party members.

As an experiment, I clicked on Rion's name, and suddenly, a call connection began.

[Is that you? Where are you calling from?]

"I’m at the fire department right now."

[Fire department? ...Where is that?]

[Wait a minute. I think I can see your location from here. ...No, why did you go so far?]

"I got caught up in fishing."

[You, really....]

[We’re trying to buy some more weapons.]

[They say if we go to the lab, we can unlock cloning technology. But it seems there’s a high-tier entity there, so we should prepare a bit.]

[We’ll head to the lab later, so you should start heading back too.]

"Got it."

I nodded and ended the call with Rion. It seems I can check the locations of survivors and make calls from this fire department.

'What about the yellow and green dots?'

First, I pressed on the yellow dot.

But there was no reaction. No name appeared either.

They likely seem to be other streamers active in this world.

As for the green dots, it was:

【Jeongseok (Survivor)】

【Choi Changyoung (Survivor)】

【Elenoa (Survivor)】

【Masina (Infected)】

Oh my.
