The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 433

Episode 433 – Eggs to Rocks (2)

Purple Office and Bapsae Company.

The curtain has risen on a full-scale competition for market share, starting with promotions from both sides.

-Look at the speed of the stick kick lol

-5252, Are you even shortening the competition week? LOL!

-So it was all about marketing marketing?

-King Chiman, there's no harm in Godple, right?

-Bleeding competition (solo)

-Ah haha the only one that's bleeding right now haha

-Is this the blood of that bird's foot?

Viewers were delighted by the rapidly rising ratings bar.

Compared to the bold promotions of Bapsae Company, Purple Office was not far behind.

Things seemed to be going smoothly, but the problem wasn't just external.

“Are you the boss here?”

It was a remark made by a new customer. Unlike other customers, he didn't choose an item, but instead went straight to the checkout counter.

And then I placed a Gemalcon figure on top of it.

"I opened the package and realized you sent me the wrong item. Do you know how embarrassing that was?"

Lee Kyung-bok and the viewers were puzzled by the guest's words.

-What is this?

-No;;; How can you give something to a customer who is bringing something wrong?

-Truth. Appearance.

-5252, why are there so many truths? LOL!

-Stop reflecting reality!

-But isn't it a bit too quiet for the real thing?

-Really lol Usually I start by yelling

-Ah, that's what they call 'real'

The items brought to the checkout counter were packaged, so there was no way a mistake could have happened.

Because of this, most viewers thought it was a real event, but Lee Kyung-bok was different.

'Are you a real customer?'

There was no unpleasantness felt towards Jinsang. I wondered if there was something wrong with the game, but the customer's reaction was so natural.

There was only one possibility that came to his mind.

“I apologize for the inconvenience. Did you place your order on the second floor?”

"yes that's right."

The viewers also understood the situation through the guest's response.

-Oh lol, it was employee Ji's mistake.

-You punk, it's you again?

-???: What the f*ck, you idiot!

-???: Ji Temple, come down and look!

-Are you Per Jong-won? LOL

Lee Kyung-bok immediately summoned an employee. The employee, who had come down to the first floor, bowed with a thoughtful expression upon hearing the situation.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! It was my mistake!”

"We'll give you the product right away. Also, you don't need to return the wrong product."

Lee Kyung-bok first sent the guests away. Assessing the situation came next.

“So, what happened?”

“Well, I packed it in advance during my spare time to speed up my work.”

The employee immediately reported this.

He worked on the second floor, pre-packaging the products and handing them over when customers placed their orders.

"I made a mistake and gave you the wrong item. I'm truly sorry."

-Oh lol I made a mistake while thinking about it lol

-So the ugly guy became ugly?

-What's the name value!

-Ah haha the god who named it was wrong haha

While the viewers playfully teased him, Lee Kyung-bok rolled his eyes.

'Seeing as I didn't feel anything in advance, I guess this is also an event.'

If the employee was actually doing that, there was no way I wouldn't have known.

Then time stopped for a moment and a hologram of Fred appeared.

"It's ideal when employees do their jobs well, but less skilled employees often make mistakes. In these cases, it's up to the manager to make the decision."

“Oh, I see there’s another employee-related tutorial.”

Judging by the gray color of the hologram, it seemed to recall Fred's words.

<It depends on the nature of the mistake, but in severe cases, you may need to hold the employee accountable and replace them with a new one. Or, you can keep them as they are and demand compensation at your discretion.>

As Fred spoke, a choice appeared next to the staff member.

[fire]

[Request for compensation]

Below the compensation there was a bar that adjusted the ratio.

'It seems like whatever I choose won't be a big problem.'

There was no ominous aura on either side. Lee Kyung-bok set his standard for judgment on that.

“If I were in this protagonist’s position, I would do this.”

The decision was made with a simple comment. The viewers' eyes widened in surprise.

-0% compensation?

-You're just going to let this pass?

-Hyung? Is this right?

-Ah haha if you do this you'll end up being a bad boy!

-No;; But still, a mistake is a mistake!

Lee Kyung-bok didn't take any responsibility. When viewers expressed their bewilderment, he spoke up.

"Actually, our team members are all very good, so this kind of thing rarely happens. But very occasionally, really occasionally, we make mistakes, right?"

-Huh? Did something go wrong when you started broadcasting?

-If it was a mistake, was it because the broadcast started too late?

-Oh my gosh lol is that the only mistake lol

-I've never felt it before, even though I've sucked it so hard

-If you're not lying, then doesn't that mean the training was perfect?

-Really lol Imari, you handled it so well that you wouldn't even know you made a mistake

When the viewers were surprised by this, Lee Kyung-bok burst into laughter.

'Byung-hoon, there was a time when that kid couldn't control his condition.'

Choi Byung-hoon once overslept because he was too greedy for video quality. However, Lee Kyung-bok didn't hold him accountable.

"That's where I realized something: no matter how skilled you are, you're human and can make mistakes. But I think what's important isn't whether you made a mistake, but rather what kind of mistake it was."

Lee Kyung-bok had no intention of exposing his friend's flaws to the viewers. Instead, he naturally brought the story back to its core.

"In this case, it wasn't negligence. The employee was trying to do a better job, to be more efficient, and made a mistake. But I think it's too harsh to hold them accountable for this mistake. Who would want to do a good job then?"

-That's true too

-Really ㅋㅋ If you try to do well but get eaten, you'll end up only doing what you're told

-If the risk is high, the reward should be high too, but the risk is high lol

-???: I told you to give me some ideas? (It's not my responsibility)

-Idea meeting special) Twenty questions game

-If you take responsibility from above, you can talk freely, s**tㅋㅋㅋㅋ

With the viewers' sympathy, Lee Kyung-bok returned to the game. He spoke to the intimidated employee.

“Ji Temple”

"yes yes…!"

“It was a mistake to give the wrong product to the customer, but that wasn’t the biggest mistake.”

Just because I don't hold them accountable doesn't mean I won't judge who's right and who's wrong.

"If you wanted to change the way you work, you should have asked me, your manager, for permission first. If it was a good idea, wouldn't I have given my permission?"

“Yes, that’s right. I’m sorry…”

"The first time was a mistake, so let's move on. If this happens again, there's no second chance."

"yes…"

The employee cringed even more at Lee Kyung-bok's warning. Lee Kyung-bok lightly patted the employee's shoulder and added:

“Thank you anyway.”

"yes?"

"You've been working hard for the store, haven't you? If you have any good ideas for the future, please let me know."

"ah…"

The employee's expression brightened and he soon bowed deeply.

“I'll keep that in mind! Thank you for your forgiveness!”

Lee Kyung-bok burst out laughing at the tense voice and attitude.

[Leadership Level UP]

[Lv 5 – Increases the speed at which your staff's proficiency increases!]

His eyes widened at the message that finally appeared. The viewers burst into laughter at his expression.

-Hahaha, your leadership has also improved hahaha

-It's rising this quickly?

-This is because leadership experience is given by employees. LOL

-Ah haha if the boss says that, it's worth giving experience haha

-How is this a black company?

-Listen to your employees' opinions, that's common sense, right?

-Working with this guy would be really fun lol

-It's not for nothing that capable people gather here!

-No kidding, this is how a real god player works lol

Seeing his boss-like appearance was also a highlight of this broadcast.

* * *

It's the fourth day since the competition for market share began.

The '>>>' mark attached to the Bapsae Company has disappeared.

-Ugh lol the bastards stopped lol

-The half-price sale is over lol

-I can't help but feel burdened by the half price of all items lol

-You couldn't hold out while competing alone, right?

-Excessive bleeding is hilarious lol

As the opposing side began to stagnate, the gap in market share began to widen further.

This was because there was still a steady stream of guests to the Purple Office.

-It's different from promotions that only have flashy effects, Imari.

-The point system was really a godsend lol

-If we keep going like this, we'll win by a landslide?

-Matthew Shack's incompetence is immediately revealed lol

-They said it was a big company, but it's nothing special lol

-If it were real, it would be like throwing an egg at a rock ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Egg (max level)

-Oh lol Godfella, the eggs are strong lol

That was the moment when the market share bar rose and broke through the 20% mark.

Mr. Purple! This is a big problem!

“Mr. Vincent?”

Lee Kyung-bok turned his gaze at the urgent voice. There was a hologram of Vincent, the marketing expert.

Purple Office's reputation is declining. Negative reviews are suddenly popping up online!

“Reviews? Bad reviews?”

Lee Kyung-bok, of course, and the viewers were bewildered. Everyone left satisfied, but what on earth did this mean?

Vincent then said, as if to show an example, while displaying another hologram.

Most of the negative reviews are about the paint peeling off the figures in less than a week, or the water leaking from the tumblers and mugs. Of course, these are ridiculous accusations…

Vincent concluded with a serious expression.

<I think it was probably Bapsae Company that got involved.>

At those words, Lee Gyeong-bok sighed briefly.

“Oh, you’re coming out like this.”

-As expected ㅋㅋ There's no way perfect goods would be of poor quality, right?

-Really lol you're crazy lol

-Huh? This is a big company!?

-Did the black company take action right away?

-What is it? Why is it so damn good!?

-What the heck lol what the f*ck is fake news lol

While the viewers were dumbfounded, Lee Kyung-bok realized something even more ridiculous.

“Wow, you know that blog Vincent showed you just now? The owner’s photo looks familiar.”

The author of the blog review he presented as an example looked familiar. Viewers noticed it too.

-Oh my gosh, this is a blogger!

-The guy who was hit by the super power is here?

-They just hang out together, really lol

-Black alliance between black companies and bloggers ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is this where the phrase "Geunmukjaheuk" came from?

-Isn't this something that was designed by the baboons?

-Really ㅋㅋ Maybe I left a purchase record in advance to get a good deal ㅋㅋㅋ

While everyone was laughing, Vincent continued his report.

<For now, I've filed a false report. I'm sure I could even take legal action.>

“A lawsuit?”

Even if it doesn't actually go to court, it'll be effective enough. They'll be scared enough to delete their reviews. But I don't know how long that will take.

"Oh, until then, your reputation will continue to suffer. I get the feeling you're in trouble."

Lee Kyung-bok nodded.

Vincent's explanation was enough to understand what Bapsae Company wanted.

-If you sue even for a game, it'll probably take a long time lol

-This is why fake news is scary lol

– Seriously lol, lying is easy, but explaining is so hard!

-???: No, don't say that lol

-Should we also do a counter-fire operation?

-Oh lol, I'm going to tell them that Bapsae Company is behind it!

-Oh my gosh, that's real news, lol

Opinions quickly appeared in the chat window. But Lee Kyung-bok immediately shook his head.

"There's no need to get caught up in the mud. From a customer's perspective, they probably don't want to get caught in the middle of it."

He opened the marketing menu and browsed through the options, continuing to speak.

“If you are honest, it is easier to show the truth than to deny a lie.”

While viewers were questioning him, Lee Kyung-bok chose a new marketing strategy.

But still, question marks remained.

-??????

-A sudden review event?

-This isn't bad either…

-Isn't that a bit ambiguous?

-Can't you cover it with reviews from people who just bought it?

-Really lol Those guys are just joking around like it broke while they were using it!

I'm sure there will be good reviews, but it doesn't seem like a good way to deal with false negative reviews.

“This review is not intended for purchasers.”

Lee Kyung-bok smiled leisurely at him, much to the viewers' bewilderment.

“The people who received the gift are the target.”

He laughed at the words that followed.

-WA! Real user review!

-Kyahahaha this is it!

-I'm not joking, I'm really going to fight, Imari ㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow ㅋㅋ Think Big exploded a lot on this show ㅋㅋㅋ

-If you look at it in numbers, it seems like fake news will be buried right away lol

-The magpies are making money, but did the godple really make money?

-Oh lol I really just pressed it lol

To hide the truth, Bapsae Company would have to spend more money.

* * *

Purple Office's market share dominance remained unchanged. Its reputation, which had been on the decline due to false reviews, quickly recovered.

“This product has really good reviews.”

“Oh, I also came after seeing the reviews.”

“Everyone who received the gift was satisfied, so it can’t hurt to take a look, right?”

Rather, the number of guests increased, perhaps due to the effect of the later event.

As the boom continued and the market share exceeded 40%, an event cutscene began.

“Oh, this isn’t the main character’s point of view?”

A dark office.

What appeared on the screen was not the main character.

“No, that’s why…”

The person who was messing with my hair with a flustered expression was none other than Matthew, the protagonist's former boss.

Branch Manager Matthew, now is not the time to make excuses. Headquarters took a loss and provided significant support, so how did this situation come about?

Matthew's face crumpled at the cold voice of the head office employee. A twitch formed at the corner of his mouth.

He feigned composure with a forced smile.

“Just a little bit more budget, please.”

"Isn't this different from what you first heard? Didn't the branch manager himself call Purple Office a "hole-in-the-wall" store?

“No, that’s true, but…”

Unfortunately, headquarters cannot allocate additional budget to compete with "hole-in-the-wall" stores. From now on, you will have to rely solely on your own capabilities to achieve results.

“Huh? No, just a moment…”

<If you fail to recover your market share, we will consider the branch manager's 'incompetence' and the head office will consider replacing the branch manager or even withdrawing the branch.>

The head office staff had no intention of listening to him in silence.

<And whatever the outcome, I will hold you, Matthew, the branch manager, responsible for everything.>

“Wait, wait! Just a moment!”

Matthew raised his voice urgently at him, but the call had already been disconnected.

-Oh my gosh lol so cute lol

-The headquarters also became a 'black company'?

-It was nice when you cut off the tail, but you didn't know you would become the tail, right?

-So, justice is right in front of you?

-You stacked up your karma stack and it looks great lol

-You're so stupid lol You should have told the headquarters that Godple was your opponent lol

-Really lol Then I guess the head office would have taken it into consideration lol

The viewers couldn't hide their laughter at his appearance.

“What the hell…!”

Matthew trembled and clenched his teeth. The camera then zoomed in on his face.

A bitter smile was captured on the screen that slowly descended from slightly bloodshot eyes.

“Ha, I didn’t want to go this far, but I guess there’s no other way.”

The screen slowly faded to black with that vile voice. The viewers were dumbfounded.

-??????

-What? What does it imply?

-You're saying I'm just building up my karma stack again?

-Should I change to contract killing?

-Oh my gosh, this is a management game, lol

-If you compare it to other games, it's like entering phase 2 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If it's Godple, there's no problem!

Lee Kyung-bok said with a smile in his voice in response to reports from several viewers.

"It seems like he's plotting something bad, like a villain. Those who have played the game, please be careful not to spoil it."

I thought the cutscene was over, but I still haven't regained control.

"thank you for your effort."

“Yes, please take a look!”

The screen then switched to show the protagonist and an employee closing for the day. Strangely enough, the camera followed the employee, not the protagonist.

“Huh? You’re showing me the temple?”

Both Lee Kyung-bok and the viewers were puzzled.

'aha.'

Lee Kyung-bok sighed inwardly. A more unpleasant aura emanated from him than before.

As expected.

“Are you a Purple Office employee?”

A single red cigarette lit up in a shadowy alley. Matthew, puffing out smoke, stepped out.

“Yes, that’s right, but why…?”

“I just want to make a good suggestion.”

“A suggestion?”

Matthew nodded, the corners of his lips twitching.

"It's not that hard. If you help me, I promise you a full-time position at Bapsae Company and a better salary."

Everyone understood the situation through his words.

-You want to buy the temple?

-Black corporate style talent recruitment ㅎㄷㄷ

-What the heck lol isn't this an attempt at internal sabotage?

-Are you going to call me 'ugh' here?

-Oh, Eva hahaha

-5252, don't forget what Godple saw for you!

-No way?

The chat window was buzzing, but the staff couldn't see him.

“Are you a full-time employee…?”

“That’s right. I’m not a part-timer or a contract worker, I’m a full-time employee.”

With everyone's attention focused on him, the employee slowly nodded.

“…Let’s listen to what they have to say first.”

The screen goes black again.

Viewers immediately criticized this.

-Ingratitude, what?

-No lol are you listening to this?

-Are you going to waste your name here again?

-Chu.gu.behavior.

Becoming a full-time employee at a black company vs. working part-time at a purple office

-Balbung ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ

-Shall we cut it off tomorrow?

However, Lee Gyeong-bok's judgment was slightly different.

'This is more fun than I thought?'

The energy felt from the staff who heard the suggestion went back and forth between good and bad.

'It's definitely different from the AI that focuses on combat.'

This meant that the AI was withholding judgment, perhaps due to the genre's specific characteristics. Lee Kyung-bok found this rather intriguing.

'Because I can definitely make you take my side.'

The fun of creating your own path rather than following a set path.

This was also the fun of the game.
