Episode 181 – Purgatory Day Intern Recruitment (4)
The practical exams for 50 teams and 100 people who participated in the audition were over. It didn't take long considering the number of participants.
The results came out within 1 minute at the shortest and 5 minutes at the longest for each team. The final 4 teams were selected based on the practical test results, and those 4 teams played the final 4 at the bottom line.
“Ah! Skull Kim, Park Japcho, and Team Golcho will take the final victory aaaaah!”
Genome finished his commentary with an enthusiastic voice. The winners of the final match were the members he had originally intended to recruit, Skull Kim and Park Japcho.
-Chocolate winner! Chocolate winner! Chocolate winner!
-Wow lol I guess I can't ignore the experience of merging lol
-The opponent did well too, reallyㅋㅋㅋ
-That's why people watch audition programs.
-That's because Gotple only picked the best ones lol
-They really only picked the best people
-Is this what you mean by 'perfect-eye'?
The viewers couldn't stop admiring the applicants' competition. When the atmosphere was heated, Lee Kyung-bok stepped forward.
“Now, we will proceed with the final process of selecting interns.”
At those words, question marks spread throughout the chat window. Does that mean it’s not over yet?
Lee Kyung-bok smiled and continued speaking.
“We previously announced that shareholders’ opinions would be reflected. Now, it is your turn to exercise your voting rights as shareholders!”
As Genome moved his hand with those words, a voting window appeared in front of the viewers.
The names of the four teams that advanced to the semifinals were listed.
-Purge Day Shareholders' Meeting ON!
-Oh lol Voting rights lol
-Subscriber only votingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Are there any black cows who haven't bought Fuzzy Day stocks yet?
-A company that gives you a lot of fun with dividends is coming soon!?
-Oh lol I can't resist the sweet dividends!
-What about the secret ballot? LOL
-It's a black company, but they keep everything well-kept.
The viewers' votes followed quickly.
“The new intern joining us at Purge Day is!”
Soon the voting was over and Genome raised his voice. Lee Kyung-bok nodded slightly and announced.
“Final vote rate 95.6%, Skull Kim and Park Japchae.”
The result was what everyone expected.
Skull Kim and Park Japchae were immediately invited to the studio.
As the two appeared, the chat window filled with applause and thumbs-up emoticons.
Lee Kyung-bok, Genome, and Eclipse also welcomed the final successful candidates with applause.
“Now, before we introduce the new interns, I would like to thank everyone who applied for this audition.”
Genome smiled and looked at the camera.
“We will be providing 10 subscriptions to each of the four teams that participated in the final competition as interview expenses!”
"oh?"
“Really?”
At those words, Skull Kim and Park Japchoe's eyes widened. It was because it was an unexpected gift.
-What? You didn't know that?
-Fuzzy day welfare benefits lol
-You said it was a black company! You said it was a black company!
-That rat is spending the company's money however he wants!
-Stop embezzlement!
As viewers playfully reacted, Genome responded as well.
“No, what kind of embezzlement is this? I’m giving this out of my own pocket!”
It was half joking, half serious.
Originally, we were all supposed to share the burden, but Genome decided to pay for it himself.
-Oh lol, I found out it was self-embezzlement
-What do you mean by self-embezzlement?
-What company is passing the cost on to its employees?
-Ah haha this is a black company
-King Ji-saeng has to pay money and go to work ㅋㅋㅋ
-Really lol, I guess I have to pay the bus fare
-Is this that friend's money or something?
Lee Kyung-bok laughed as he checked the chat response.
“Our branch manager is really passionate. Now all we have to do is do our job well… … ”
“No, sir! I’m good at my job!”
The chat window was filled with laughter at the two people's ad-lib.
-Good person = No other advantages
– Hahahaha, it reminds me of when I used to drive there
-???: I'm good at King's Battle!
-Ah haha If you can't do the work, you should at least pay the money.
-I found out that the special recruitment process was a wallet recruitment process?

-Why is it called a wallet instead of a donation type? Lol
Thanks to that, the atmosphere became more relaxed. As evidence, Skull Kim and Park Japcho were also laughing behind them.
“Okay, let’s hear from our new interns.”
“Okay. Skull Kim Intern first?”
The two stepped aside as if they had done their part. The two main characters of this audition naturally took the center seats.
“Oh, yes, yes. I’m still a little dazed. I can’t believe that I’m in the same space as our CEO and manager, whom I’ve only seen on TV. I think it’s truly an honor.”
“Huh? Wait, what about me? Why am I missing?”
Skullkim tilted his head as Genome interjected.
“No matter what, it’s a bit of an honor to be with the temple rank…”
The chat window erupted in laughter at that answer.
-Oh lol this is correct lol
-Really lol. Is there a big difference between an intern and an employee?
-If you interfere for no reason, you won't get your money back, right?
-You tried to bully a regular employee and ended up dying like a dogㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Just a rat! Just a rat! Just a rat!
-Ah haha just tell me to bring my wallet
-It's so funny how you immediately turn into a squat because there's no refutation lol
Lee Kyung-bok also joined in with a voice mixed with laughter.
“Ji Temple? The conversation isn’t over yet. You shouldn’t be interfering like that.”
“Oh, yes.”
As he stepped back, Skullkim gave a short cough and continued speaking.
“I think this is a hard-earned opportunity. I will ‘work my butt off’ for the company!”
-You're saying you're getting a fracture here?
-That damn fracture is real lol
-Ah haha it really hits the bone
-Really lol [Bone][Bone] It'd be lucky if it didn't hit the ground
-What the heck is a fracture!
-The listeners are so embarrassed because they've never seen anything like this before [BONE]ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Information) 'Skull's' brain 'severed' + viewers' response = fracture > Meme where an emoticon is used when a word that involves bones is mentioned
-It's so cool, right?
-[Bone] Hahaha
-What are you talking about, lol?
Soon, an emoticon exclusive to Skullkim subscribers appeared in the chat window.
But that was short-lived, as soon as the speaking rights passed to Park Japchae, attention was diverted.
“Oh, I feel the same way as Skull. It’s such an honor to be on that famous zero-to-back bus. Now I have to figure out what to do with the prize money.”
“What’s the prize money?”
Genome asked with an expectant look in his eyes. Park Japcho smiled and answered.
“Isn’t winning on Purge Day anyway?”
-You know a little about science, lol
-As expected from Park Weed! He deserved to be picked!
-But I named him Park Japcho because I thought he'd be picked anywhere lol
-Oh lol I also said that I would be 'stepped on' by the viewers
-Why is this happening?
-But he ends up playing with Skull Kim and ends up becoming a mysterious smoker…
Just like Skull Kim's fans a little while ago, Park Wee-cho's fans also came forward and explained it to him.
“Oh, Intern Park Ja-cho. There’s something wrong.”
"yes?"
“Anyway, the winner is Fuzzy Day. That’s true, but there’s no guarantee that the prize money will go to the employees, right?”
The viewers burst into laughter at Genome's words.
-Ah haha that's the eldest
-Really ㅋㅋ Even during Time Warfare, Godple monopolized it?
-But doesn't that rat have no right to say something like that?
-Really lol I plotted treason back then and it turned out ugly
-The CEO monopolizes the profits. Isn't that common sense in black companies?
-That guy's common sense is really lol
That's because Genome's words reminded me of the previous Gunner Ground event battle.
After a bit more small talk, the interview ended and Lee Kyung-bok stepped forward.
“Okay, once again, thank you to everyone who supported us, and a bigger thank you to the shareholders who watched us until the end today.”
“Surprisingly, the work of Purge Day hasn’t even started yet! Please look forward to it in the future!”
Genome said so and glanced at the others.
“Thank you for watching today!”
“I look forward to seeing you again!”
“See you next time!”
“Don’t forget to watch the next broadcast live!”
“Tva!”
The broadcast ended with the five people's closing remarks. However, they did not all part ways right away.
“Thank you for your hard work until late.”
“Oh, no.”
“It was really fun.”
They took their seats at a round table placed in the studio.
“I won’t go on for too long. I’ll just touch on the important points and end it here.”
Lee Kyung-bok said lightly.
Now that we were a team and had a common goal, we decided to have a quick meeting.
“Even though Crazy Smurf is an amateur tournament, the tournament rules apply, so the most important thing for our team is to prepare for bans and picks.”
Genome explained while listening to the gossip.
Surprisingly, the focus of the discussion was not on the two new arrivals.
“Skull and Weed are fine because they originally broadcasted the Mystic League. The one who needs to prepare the sub-champion the fastest right now is Eclipse.”
“Yes, I know.”
Eclipse only had one familiar champion, Justice Knight and Gaien. And there was someone else to prepare for.
“Purple also needs to increase its sub-champions.”
It was Lee Gyeong-bok.
The reason he was singled out despite having mastered two champions, Yami and Barzan.
“Even if I were on the opposing team, I would definitely ban Purple’s pick. It’s been revealed that he’s really good… … ”
“I think Yami and Barzan won’t have a chance to play in this tournament.”
It was because he was so skilled that he was the target of intense monitoring.
As they mostly enjoyed the Mystic League, Skull Kim and Park Japcho immediately agreed.
“Yes, I think so too. And Eclipse will be second. They showed something else during this audition.”
Lee Kyung-bok also agreed and looked back at Eclipse.
He was a candidate for a ban/pick as he not only showed his skills as a top laner but also his skill against ADCs.
“Um… … I’ll look for a champion that fits my aptitude.”
“Okay, that’s all that’s urgent for now. We’ll decide on the next merger date later.”
Genome stood up, clapping his hands lightly. Skullkim and Parkjapcho laughed as they stood up.
“Something feels strange. You have the shortest career in the Mystic League, yet you are a target for a ban.”
“I feel a little awkward too.”
Genome said with a moved face at the reaction.
“Wow… … Finally, there are people who understand how I feel.”
When the two people blinked, Genie smiled and said,
“When you’re around geniuses like this, you often experience cognitive dissonance. But you’ll get used to it soon. You’ll experience it a lot in the future.”
“Aha… … I think I know what that feels like.”
“I felt it deeply when I got ganked by Purple.”
The three of them laughed, feeling a sense of kinship among themselves. Lee Kyung-bok and Eclipse simply shrugged.
“Okay, then let’s cheer for the last time and then let’s break up.”
Genome smiled and extended his hand. There was no need to discuss the slogan separately.
“Who’s going to win anyway?”
As soon as he said that, all five of them smiled.
“Purge Day!”
In this way, the formation of the Fuzzy Day team ended smoothly.
* * *
The next day, in a study room in a busy area.
Lee Kyung-bok and his friends began a meeting in a large room.
“Hatukill, Geumma is really annoying. How can you do such mean things?”
Before the full-scale meeting, Choi Byeong-hun spoke.
“It seemed to have gotten worse than before.”
“Oh, that’s what I’m saying! In the past, you didn’t show it that way during the broadcast. Oh my, this time, even during the broadcast, you’re showing off your disgustingness?”
Choi Byeong-hun shuddered as he recalled the old days.
“If possible, I would have failed the document screening.”
“Well, it’s okay since I dropped it myself, right?”
When Park Joo-ho expressed regret, Lee Kyung-bok answered. Choi Byeong-hoon immediately nodded.
“Hey, given Geumma’s personality, if he failed the document screening, he would have made a fuss about it. He probably tried to create an issue by drawing aggro and trying to get some views.”
“Rather, I think it would be better to think of it as having been handled cleanly.”
“Yeah, I don’t have anything to see anymore anyway. I really wanted to edit it to make it as ugly as possible, but I ended up doing it because I was afraid people would try to get involved in it again.”
“Yeah, you have to distinguish between public and private life. That’s a good thing.”
Park Joo-ho said that and manipulated the smart link.
“Now it’s time to decide on our audition.”
The study room with him was filled with papers on the walls. They were all applicants for Team Perfect's translator position.
“These are applicants who were selected by filtering based on basic specifications and then filtering again based on activity history.”
“Wow, even after filtering it like that, there’s still quite a lot?”
“This was also filtered quite strictly. There weren’t that many people who could find fault with my activities.”
While the two friends were talking, Lee Kyung-bok's eyes quickly scanned the documents.
“A total of 48 people?”
“Wow, you counted all of that right away?”
“We need to select the final interviewees here, but I think it would be better for you to do it yourself rather than me.”
Park Joo-ho was confident in analyzing objective conditions. However, when it came to selecting people, there was no one better suited to the job than Lee Kyung-bok.
“Wow… … But there are a lot of smart people among the viewers.”
“I was a bit surprised, too. Some people graduated from translation and interpretation graduate schools, some from prestigious foreign universities, and some speak four languages… ”
“There are so many good ones it’ll be really hard to choose.”
Choi Byeong-hun stuck out his tongue.
Lee Kyung-bok chuckled at the words of his two friends and looked through the documents one by one.
At that moment, Choi Byeong-hun suddenly opened his mouth with a face that seemed to say, “A good idea is better.”
“Hey, can’t we just list the applicants’ dates of birth and ask my aunt to look at their fortunes?”
“… … Are you saying that?”
Park Joo-ho immediately rolled his eyes.
“Don’t you know that you’re bothering your busy aunt and that you shouldn’t leak personal information like that?”
“Oh, is that so?”
“… … You just keep editing.”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled bitterly as he looked at those friends.
“Auntie, you can’t read fortunes.”
"huh?"
“My grandmother didn’t have her fortune told.”
At the word fortune telling, Lee Gyeong-bok recalled old memories.
After his parents passed away and the funeral was over, he was taken in by his grandmother.
But the process was not so smooth.
'Why? Why didn't I know?'
At that time, Lee Kyung-bok was still a high school student. It was too early for him to accept the death of his parents.
For this he needed a reason.
He needed an 'explanation' that would allow him to accept the reality that his parents had to pass away.
'They say Grandma is a shaman! They say she's an amazing shaman!'
The request was directed to the person closest to her. The grandmother answered the question mixed with resentment in a calm voice.
‘… … Shamans usually try to predict a person’s fate using fortune telling.’
Four pillars of destiny.
A method by which a shaman predicts one's fate based on the four periods of one's birth: year, month, day, and time.
'However, it is said that a person's fate is not so easily known.'
But the grandmother was different from other shamans.
'Kyungbok, when were you born?'
'You don't even know my birthday?'
'Birthday? Kyungbok, were you born on your birthday?'
The grandmother said, wiping away Lee Gyeong-bok's tears.
'I'll ask you again. When the baby was in my womb, were you dead?'
'that……'
'When did your life begin? When the obstetrician took you out of your mother's womb? Is that really what you think?'
Lee Kyung-bok couldn't answer easily.
'Although I didn't see my daughter-in-law often, I remember that day. I remember the voices of the two people who were happy to have a grandchild.'
Grandmother's voice trembled. A tear fell down her wrinkled cheek.
'Kyungbok, when did your parents start loving you? It must have been before you had hands and feet. It must have been before you knew of your own existence.'
Lee Kyung-bok couldn't say anything. He lost his parents, but his grandmother lost her child.
I realized that fact once again.
'So how can a shaman understand the beginning of life? It is said that finding out the exact fortune is beyond human ability. How many cases can there be with the same fortune but different lives… '
The grandmother took a deep breath and cleared her voice.
'Kyungbok, if you want to properly gauge your fate, you have to meet that person in person.'
But rather, the emotions contained within it came out even more strongly.
'My karma is that I didn't meet my son and daughter-in-law often. I didn't look for them first because I was stubborn as an elder. If I had looked for them first… '
Lee Kyung-bok realized that he had made a big mistake. There was only one reason why his grandmother had acted as if nothing had happened.
'This old woman swore to appease the souls of both of them. Gyeongbok, I will protect you until the end.'
Just as his grandmother worried about his parents, his parents would also worry about Lee Gyeong-bok.
If they were real parents, there would be no one in the world who could remain calm in the face of their child's death.
That's why the grandmother swallowed her sadness and pretended to be calm in front of him.
'When I listen to what my aunt says, it seems like she's still worried.'
Lee Kyung-bok recalled the dream story that Yang Gyu-ri had told him and sorted out his memories.
“I’ve decided.”
"already?"
“Ugh! As expected from a human judge.”
The two friends showed contrasting reactions to Lee Kyung-bok's words. He laughed and said,
“Let’s interview everyone.”
At those words, the expressions of the two friends who had been at odds became unified.
"what?"
"ok?"
Lee Kyung-bok gathered the documents that had been spread out through smart links together again.
“Aren’t these people all people who passed the standard?”
“That’s true, but… … ”
“I didn’t apply just to make money. These are people who like me. I think it would be better to talk to them rather than making a decision based on just these words.”
Recalling old memories, Lee Gyeong-bok recalled his grandmother's teachings.
“We’ll know each other better if we meet in person.”
At those words, the two friends locked eyes and soon smiled.
“If that’s the boss’s decision.”
“To be sure, the scanner is accurate only if you scan the barcode directly.”
“Human scanner again, is that what you’re saying?”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at the two friends' answers.
“Then I’ll find a place and contact you.”
“Okay, please.”
Since we don't have a separate office, we needed a separate location for interviews.
“I hope someone who fits well comes.”
“There must be one of these.”
“The fourth member?”
The new member of Team Perfect.
All three of them did not hide their anticipation.
