The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 403

Episode 403 – Vlog Commentary (4)

The number of real-time viewers exceeded 20,000 due to the influx of Japanese viewers.

It wasn't just the viewers watching the broadcast and Lee Kyung-bok who were happy about that fact.

“Wow, 20,000! 20,000 live…!”

Cho Dae-han, who was writing the script, suddenly stood up. The only change was the number at the beginning, from 1 to 2, but the emotion he felt was far more profound.

<Wow, I didn't expect this at all.>

<That's right! It's just replay content, but you hit 20,000!>

The editing team, including Choi Byung-hoon and Madman, who were working together while monitoring, also felt similar emotions.

Even now, it wasn't even a game broadcast, which was the main content. And yet, they achieved a new record?

"No, no! That's the average viewership of the CEO! If only foreign viewers had learned Korean, it would easily have exceeded 20,000!"

Cho Dae-han tried to calm his mind, but the overwhelming emotions kept spilling out.

"That's true, Mr. Daehan. It's because most of the viewers are Japanese right now. What if North American viewers are also watching?"

<Hey, then maybe it'll be over 25,000 by default? Well, there's a bit of a time difference there, so I'm not sure if it'll be as popular as Japan.>

"But this is real! Our president's average audience is 15,000? It's been so undervalued!"

Cho Dae-han kept sighing, but soon showed regret.

“Oh, if only Korean were a little easier to learn…”

<Hangul is easy, but Korean is a bit difficult.>

<But I can't stand watching it live like this again.>

Choi Byeong-hun's voice, mixed with laughter, was transmitted.

<This guy also likes the viewers' reactions, but the viewers also say that they can't stop the live if Inma reacts to what they say?>

“Oh, right. Our boss has another advantage…”

Streaming is not a one-way street, but a two-way street. Viewers don't just watch the broadcast; they interact with the streamer through chat and support messages.

However, as the scale of the broadcast grows and the number of viewers increases, there are limits to the content that streamers can handle.

But Lee Gyeong-bok is different.

“Because you don’t miss a chat.”

He had faith that he read all of his chats. He wasn't just one of many viewers.

<Right. I told you it's really amazing.>

<The viewers know that Inma checks everything like that, so our chat window is clean.>

"They even compete to get noticed. It's a complete virtuous cycle."

There is always a reason why a broadcast is successful.

* * *

Lee Kyung-bok smiled brightly and clapped his hands lightly.

“Oh, thank you. Arigato? Right? I learned some basic conversation while I was there!”

His reply filled the chat window with heart emoticons. Apparently, since he didn't know Korean, he was using emoticons to express his thoughts.

"Yes, that's great. I'd appreciate it if you'd look at it. If you become a member of our Pertube and Qtube memberships, you can enjoy today's commentary video with dubbing, so please show lots of interest!"

-Promoting membership here?

-Capitalist wave ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ

-Look at the dubbing that emphasizes it twice lol

-This house is doing well in business!

-As expected from a PPL expert, Imari

-Come to think of it, it was PPL!

-Oh my gosh, this isn't indirect advertising, it's direct advertising!

As viewers burst into laughter, Lee Kyung-bok played the video again.

"I'll finish it. Anyway, Snow Sisters wasn't that difficult of a game."

<Oh, this brings back memories. Some people may not know this, but you can throw snowballs at monsters to turn them into snowballs and roll them away.>

In the video, Lee Kyung-bok also briefly explained the game and demonstrated how to play it. Viewers laughed, saying they knew everything, but then were shocked.

-????????

-No;;; Why is it so fast?

-You're just going to end this with a snowball?

-What the heck lol Can you figure out that route right away?

-How much did you do? LOL

As the stage progressed, the number of monsters that appeared increased. However, Lee Kyung-bok chose just one of them, turned it into a snowball, and continued clearing the stage.

[(Golden Hands) No, you're going to break this in one go?]

[(Pistol) This is really awesome]

[(Globe) Sir, I guess you've done this a lot?]

Other team members also had similar reactions to the viewers.

<No. I've only done it once.>

[(Golden Hands & Pistol & Globe) Yes?]

The following response prompted a question mark to appear in the subtitles and chat window. Lee Kyung-bok smiled and commented.

"I cleared it the first time, so I didn't do it again. This isn't a fighting game, so the gameplay is the same every time."

-to?

-Did you break it all the way through the first time?

-You cleared the one coin on the first try?

-That coin was a purple coin, lol

-(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)

-???: Ah, there's nothing to play

-???: Easy games are no fun

-Game insensitivity (or not)

-What is this rabbit-like insensitivity? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

While the viewers were in shock, the screen split. It was the reactions of other people watching from a distance, filmed by Choi Byung-hoon.

[(Arcade) Huh? Could this be it too?]

[(Arcade) No, no, this is too fast!]

[(Arcade) Really? You don't worry about it at all?]

[(Arcade machine) Will this also have PPL?]

They spoke in Japanese, but subtitles provided a translation. An arcade machine icon was placed in front to distinguish the speakers.

[(Golden Hands) Wow, this is my first time seeing that ending!]

[(Pistol) No, how much time has passed now?]

[(Robot) A little over 6 minutes.]

[(Globe) Wait a minute, I think there's a speedrun record for this…!]

I reached the final stage in no time. As expected from the final boss, I didn't get knocked down by a single snowball, so it took a while.

Oh, it took about 7 minutes. The first time I did it, it took about 9 minutes. I'll put a PPL here too.

That clear record, as expected, settled in first place this time as well.

[(Globe) No, sir…! This is a new world record!]

<Yes?>

[(Golden Hands) Wow! It's true! The speedrun competition record is in the 10-minute range!]

As the conversation continued, the chat window filled with question marks, and a data screen appeared in the video.

This was the official record of the speedrun competition that Jo Daehan had found.

“This was the first time I knew there were speedrunning competitions in arcade games.”

The chat quickly exploded with comments from Lee Kyung-bok.

-Huh!? That's not the problem!

-Other people are stuffed and making a fuss and even dancing the tango, what the f*ckㅋㅋㅋ

-Really lol the reaction was 'I didn't know haha'

-Unofficial number 1 speedrun expert, Su-beomㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-???: I wasn't interested in this kind of competition

-???: It was a record that was already broken when I was young

-???: It doesn't even reach the level of the official world championships

-Oh my gosh lol the distortion is crazy lol

-But it's true againㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Despite the viewers' strong reaction, Lee Kyung-bok humbly waved his hand.

"No, it's probably because there aren't many people playing retro games. Honestly, if the people who are good at it now were to play it, their records would probably be under 10 minutes."

He immediately turned his attention back to the video before any further discussion could be had.

“Next up is 10 Guy. This is Madman’s favorite.”

10 Guy was a side-scrolling bullet hell shooter game where you played as 10 flying characters.

Each character was holding a different gun.

[(Pistol) Even though this is a classic game, the gun details are great.]

[(Camera) Are you looking at that over there…]

[(Golden Hand) Oh, then what kind of character do you like?]

<Please recommend something difficult rather than something good.>

There was a moment of silence as Lee Kyung-bok spoke in the video.

“No, I was trying to make it fun, but everyone looked at me strangely.”

-Oh lol If you're going to be a 10-man, isn't it standard to choose a hidden character?

-Right lol I still remember the command

-Imagine, imagine …

-Hahahahaha!

-No lol that's not it hahaha

-It's a gun game, but the hidden character is a bow character lol

-But he's so scary lol

-It's not an arrow, it's an explosive bomb lol

-Are you ignoring your senior?

In the video, Lee Kyung-bok chose a character wielding dual pistols. He wasn't particularly impressive in either rate of fire or penetration.

While the play continued like that.

[(Arcade) Wow…!]

[(Arcade) Didn't you just hit it?]

[(Arcade) This is ridiculous! They're using the hitbox to its limit!]

[(Arcade) Hey hey, is this real…]

[(Arcade) You can see all of that?]

Shouts erupted here and there.

However, it was not a shout of joy, but rather a surprise at Lee Kyung-bok's dizzying play.

As the stage progressed, Lee Kyung-bok continued playing calmly despite the increasingly dense barrage of bullets.

<Hmm… It’s a bit looser than I remember.>

There was enough time to even write a comment there.

-Loose?

-What? What does it imply?

-You're talking about lipstick, right?

-If you just get hit by a single bullet, you're dead ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I can't even keep up with the character lol

When the viewers were surprised by this, Lee Kyung-bok smiled and explained.

"No, it's easy if you just stay calm. But since you just have to hold down the fire button and operate the joystick, I felt a little sleepy."

While the viewers were dumbfounded, Lee Kyung-bok steadily arrived at the final stage.

This is also the result of Jo Daehan's search to see if there is a speedrun record.

[(Golden Hands) 10 minutes 21 seconds!]

[(Pistol) Wow… This is crazy.]

[(Globe) Sir! The official record is 18 minutes and 13 seconds!]

The speedrun competition record was 18 minutes, and viewers were astonished.

-Wowㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This is also unofficial number 1!

-New record maker lol

-A new record is a god's record, isn't that common sense?

-Ah haha, it was a new record because it was a god-like record hahaha

-No, this is completely different from Snow Sisters, what the f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Really lol You have to avoid the 10 guys and deal damage!

-Perfect route ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ

-And it's not even a hidden character, it's a dual pistol lol

Due to the nature of shooting games, if you focus on survival, you will spend more time evading rather than hitting enemies with bullets.

But he achieved both survival and conquest at the same time.

18 minutes?

Lee Kyung-bok also responded with a surprised voice upon hearing the record. But there was another reason for his surprise.

<You're doing this for almost 20 minutes?>

-to?

-???: Why do you play arcade games for so long? (I really don't know)

-Oh my gosh lol I really didn't know so I got pissed lol

-???: You've been playing this loose game for 20 minutes?

-If I had done it as a hidden character, I think this guy would have cut it by at least 7 minutes ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The reaction is so funny, seriouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

As the viewers enjoyed themselves, Lee Kyung-bok also laughed along.

"Still, I think I'll enjoy this more than Snow Sisters. Each character has a different play pattern, so I'll probably play it 10 times, or maybe 11 times since there are hidden characters."

-Huh!? King Banin can't do that!

-Peritswww One Coin Clear is the standardwww

-Tsk tsk tsk! The concentration of the persimmon is so good, isn't it?

-In the meantime, changing it to 11 because there was a hidden cache was really cool lol

-Even if you cut it to 10 minutes per character, it'll be over in 2 hours lol

-PPL from 1st to 11th place? ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ

Lee Kyung-bok coughed lightly and turned his attention back to the video.

"I only played it once because I only had a hands-on experience. And I felt like I was keeping my team members busy for too long while playing retro games, so I went down to the third floor to finish the experience quickly."

The third floor was a dedicated AR rhythm game space. Lee Kyung-bok stood in front of the largest number of devices.

"I thought a song was usually between one and two minutes long? Since the game only requires a few songs, I thought it would be fine."

<Ah, this is DJ PRO.>

DJ PRO was a game where you had to press notes in time with the flying notes using a total of six devices, including five keyboards and a turntable.

-Ah haha if you play regame this is it

-The one for capsules is Beat Sword, but the one for arcades is DJ Pro lol

-Wow this brings back memories lol

-Actually, the real game is a P2W game lol

-Really lol It's a game that you have to spend money to play lol

-?

-brother?

The viewers who were laughing were dumbfounded when they saw Lee Kyung-bok in the video.

“Oh, this is the most difficult level.”

This was because he chose the highest level, 'INSANE', without any hesitation.

[(Golden Hand) Uh… This looks dangerous just by looking at the number of stars.]

[(Globe) Mr. President? Does this mean I'm crazy?]

[(Robot) Have you ever done this?]

<No, is this your first time?>

Lee Kyung-bok calmly answers his teammates' questions.

The viewers burst into laughter at him.

-Another difficulty expert, Smerga!?

-It's so ridiculous that it's ridiculous lol

-You choose the difficulty level based on your skill level, isn't that common sense?

-Wow! I'm really looking forward to this!

-What on earth is difficult for Godple?

-Honey. Jam. Bo. Jang

-That crazy japchae lol

-Looking at the way it's being cooked, it's definitely Japchae, Imari ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Lee Kyung-bok, who had been observing the chat response, paused the video for a moment. He opened his eyes wide and moved his hand.

“No, another precious person has arrived.”

It was because one account name stood out among the ones appearing in the chat window. It disappeared in an instant, swept aside by new chats, but he couldn't escape its gaze.

Lee Kyung-bok took out the chat from that account and displayed it on a separate screen.

[Decibel – Wow! I'm really looking forward to this!]

The owner of that account was none other than rhythm game expert Decibel.

-WA! A secret guest!

-What are you doing?

-Jang. In. Chul. Hyeon

-Are you in a place where you are?

-Playing a game in front of a game master lol

-The god-play that the craftsmen watch, isn't that Jang-o-jang?

-What the heck is this commentary level!

The arrival of someone who can be called an authority in the rhythm game world.

Thanks to this, the quality of the commentary has been raised to another level.
