Episode 471 – Welcome Newcomers! (7)
The successful mission resulted in additional funding. The members immediately moved to upgrade their equipment.
"This is the repair shop. As you can see, the workbench is divided into sections. Just like in Tech, we'll remodel everything and then reassemble."
“Well, I understand.”
“I wish there was something good…!”
Following Genome's instructions, the members each moved to their respective workstations.
As Lee Kyung-bok approached his workbench, the scanner scanned his body. Soon, the workbench moved on its own, forming a frame perfectly suited to the drone.
“Oh, it’s definitely a science fiction setting, so there are a lot of interesting things.”
-SF is definitely this kind of sensibility now lol
-Isn't that clanking sound too loud?
-Please stop using those silent nanomachines!
-Right, lol. The parts rub against each other and sparks fly! The gears whirr!
-Classics aren't called classics for nothing, Imari.
He immediately took out the drone and placed it in its frame. A hologram appeared, showing possible modifications.
"Oh, the engineer's drone is completely different. For one thing, it can switch from shooting to using lasers."
-WA! Laser!
-Ah haha it's not a laser that goes out all at once
-It does less damage and has a shorter range than the original bullet?
-What is it? Why is it a downgrade!?
-I think it's for industrial use since he's an engineer lol
-Ah lol it's not weak, it's dot damage lol
-It's a bit ambiguous.
The first item was a 'laser drone'. Instead of firing bullets, it was powered by a laser, like a torch.
“Oh! There’s a barrier too. This could be useful, wouldn’t it?”
-Oh lol this is totally for support
-Open the door ON!
-But the capacity is a bit small;;;
-What? It's not even half the amount of consumables I used before?
-I think I need to do some tech upgrades separately?
-But since it's self-charging, you can still use it.
-This is also a bit ambiguous.
Next was the 'Barrier Drone'. Its function was identical to the barrier-generating device used to attack the Hell Sweeper.
There were two types of newly unlocked drones:
-I don't feel like anything has been upgraded.
-Right lol I just feel sorry for everything
-There was a reason why not many engineers did it.
-It's still early so I guess that's why lol
-Well lol if you give them fake equipment from the beginning it's so boring
Viewers expressed their disappointment, but Lee Kyung-bok was not disappointed.
"This might be different if I try it myself. I happen to have two drones, so I'll try replacing them both."
As he made his selection, a tool emerged from the workbench and automatically disassembled the drone. Internal components were quickly replaced, and both drones were remodeled.
That unhesitating decision also eased the viewers' worries.
-If it's this guy, he can cover all the ambiguous stuff lol
-The fact that the owner is a god player means he's already the ultimate upgrader, right?
-???: It's different when you write it yourself (by a person)
-Right, lol. If you have perfect control, you can ignore the range.
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at the viewers' reactions and took care of the modified drone.
“Oh, I guess I finished first.”
He left the workbench, but no one had returned yet. This must have been because his decision was so swift.
“Oh? Master! Are you finished already?”
While Lee Kyung-bok was demonstrating his modified drone, a voice was heard. Decibel was the one who arrived in second place.
“Yes. It was easy to modify, wasn’t it?”
“Right, right! Whoa, what is that? Is this a laser?”
“There are barriers too.”
“Ohhhhh! Master’s barrier?! This is so reassuring!?”
Viewers burst into laughter as Decibel's eyes widened at the sight of the two drones.
-Denunna's eyes are so big, they're cuteㅋㅋㅋ
-Dehakwon students surprised by Professor Per's research results.jpg
-Ah, haha, so that's why graduate students are called squeaky in comics.
-It's not just a barrier, it's a god-like barrier, so I'm relieved, Imari.
-You're looking at it exactly like a pro gamer?
Decibel glanced around briefly and pretended to cough.
“Ahem, I haven’t changed as drastically as Master, but I have also made some changes.”
“Oh, there’s something attached to the magazine?”
"As expected, Master! You recognized me! This is the auto-reload module! It's an automatic loader!"
When Lee Kyung-bok pointed out what had changed, she raised the corners of her mouth.

"So, how do you use this? Uh, so if you put the magazine in here… Oh, is it upside down? No, that's not it! Anyway, ta-da!"
-It's so much fun lol
-Anyway, he's on the mound lol
-That's exactly what a squeaky little thing does lol
-If it's Little Stork, then it can be like that!
-What kind of USB are you plugging in? Lol
While the audience laughed, Decibel proudly held up his gun and showed off the module.
"If you're using it like this and fighting, you'll run out of magazines, right? Then, if you press the magazine eject button here, the module will link up… and you'll have a spare magazine! In effect, you'll double the magazine capacity!"
“Oh, this is certainly convenient. But doesn’t this make the game too easy?”
"No, Master, don't worry. It wasn't that easy to make. This thing has a 20% chance of failing to reload."
Decibel said this and demonstrated again. After a few more reloads, the magazine he was replacing got stuck midway.
"Ah! This is it. They said it was fun? If this happens, we'll have to do it manually again, so we can't let our guard down."
-It has to be boring to be recharged?
-Yes Jam = Difficult
-Oh lol I guess it means it's not fun because it's easy to be boring lol
-I found out it was an Agams term?
-The whole world is a mess!
While the viewers were joking around, the third member arrived.
“Oh, you all are fast.”
“It hasn’t been long.”
“Oh, Sir Icke! What’s that hatchet?”
Eclipse showed me the object in her hand with a smile on her face.
"I decided to receive auxiliary equipment instead of modifying it. I can use it myself, but I can also throw it."
He said that and threw the hatchet upward. Naturally, everyone's eyes followed it.
“And this hatchet has a mysterious function.”
The hatchet, which had been flying rapidly along with Eclipse's words, suddenly stopped. Then it returned and settled into his hand.
“Wow! What is this? Is it magic!?”
“No, it’s science fiction, so it’s not magic.”
"It's called a magnetic hand axe. As you can see, it can be retrieved using magnetic force. However, distance is crucial."
-Oh? This is so cool, isn't it?
-Right, lol. If it's a light, it's definitely in the front so it has the right to fire.
-Even if you're a tank, you need to have at least one ranged attacker lol
-Hanmu throw ㅎㄷㄷ
-He tore up the manly force lol
– Sir Lee, will things get a little wild in this merger?
-Savage Knight ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ
So, as Eclipse finished its demonstration, Genome returned for the last time.
“Huh? What, I’m the last one?”
“Oh, Genom! But it seems like nothing has changed.”
"Oh, you don't know! This is exactly what I chose, the stationary module that finally makes the Artillery worthy of its nickname!"
At Decibel's words, Genome roared excitedly and activated the module. The module, connected to the grenade launcher, clanked into place.
"This thing turns your grenade launcher into a howitzer! It can't move, but its range is greatly increased. In short, it's siege mode! Siege mode! This is incredibly powerful in defensive battles!"
-Oh lol if I had this I would have caught the health sweeper even without the boost
-But it takes some time.
-If you can't move, shouldn't you use it from the rear?
-King! I'm not going to go to the front at all costs!
-Are the actions of the idiots too obvious?
When the viewers immediately understood and started making fun of him, Genome answered confidently.
"No, it's actually a nuisance for the artillery to be out in front. Don't you know that the Icle could be hit by a grenade splash? What's an artillery? It's all about preemptive strikes, that's what I'm saying!"
Soon he turned to the other members and asked.
“So, what did everyone else change?”
“You’ll be watching from behind anyway, so I think it would be better to just watch it yourself.”
When Lee Kyung-bok playfully responded to him, the other members agreed.
“Oh, that’s right. We’ve already finished talking.”
“Well, I guess Genome Sir has some free time.”
“Hey! Captain!? Why are you doing this to everyone else too, seriously!”
The viewers burst into laughter as Genome matched the mood.
-Ugh haha …
-Justice implementation is so cool lol
-Chuitswww My colleagues also turned their backswww
-Look at Denunna and Ikkyung's reflexes lol
-Black Unit Purge Day ㅎㄷㄷ
-If you don't pay attention, you won't survive.
All the members laughed at that. Lee Kyung-bok concluded his speech with a slight gesture.
“Of course I’m joking. I’ll explain as we go.”
* * *
3 missions in the defense phase.
Viewers chose the most difficult mission, 'Planting Landmines'.
-97% voter turnout lol
-Yes, Jam = Is it a decision based on the difficulty formula?
-You have to take on the difficult tasks to win the war!
-Ah haha we didn't choose it to have fun, we did it for the sake of humanity haha
The justification for choosing the highest difficulty mission has become even stronger since we now know that NPCs also perform other missions that we didn't select.
"It's not difficult. Don't be nervous. Just finish your work and come back."
“Once this mission is completed safely, I will confess to her⋯!”
“Let’s all go back alive!”
“I know the reputation of the Hellapomers unit, but… please take good care of me!”
As the mission began, the leader of the NPC engineers who were chattering away spoke to the members.
"Hmm! Of course! We'll escort you to the mission point and protect you until the minefield is finished, right?"
“That’s right. It’s not a complicated mission.”
“Hmm, something… everyone is saying ominous things.”
The members formed a line to protect the engineers and set off. Viewers burst into laughter at the NPC dialogue.
-No lol it's really an obvious flag
-???: Captain, are you going to buy me a beer after this is over?
-???: Will beer be okay? Hahahahaha!
-Stop the death flag!
-Please just think about it in your head lol
-But it's not difficult for Fuzzy Day, right?
-The death flag is blocked by the perfect flag, Imariya
Genome clicked his tongue lightly at him.
"Oh my, I knew it. There's something our members don't know."
“You don’t know?”
Lee Kyung-bok asked, as if representing the question mark floating in the chat window. Genome nodded.
“This isn’t all that’s in the mission message.”
“Huh? Really? Are there any additional missions or something?”
"Well, that might come up later, but not now. More accurately, I'd say the explanation of the situation is a bit inadequate."
When Decibel, who was walking ahead, turned his gaze and asked, Genome thought for a moment and then added.
"Well, this isn't a spoiler, but rather something you can easily infer, so I'll tell you in advance. This doesn't give you some kind of invincibility buff until the minefield is finished, right?"
“Oh, right.”
"So, if you make a mistake during combat, a landmine could explode. The mission only asks you to guard the engineers, but in reality, you also have to guard against landmines."
-Oh? Come to think of it, that's wrong?
-It's no use guarding the engineers if all the mines explode lol
-Mine laying mission successful! (No mines)
-Ah, haha, so that's why it was a difficult mission?
-You can't play ignorantly, lol
-Isn't that the same in any game? LOL
Both the viewers and the members understood the explanation, but they weren't worried.
“But since we have a master, won’t it be okay?”
“That’s right. If Purple Sir had the ability to see the world, such an unfortunate incident wouldn’t have happened, right?”
Although it has been modified with lasers and barrier drones, its basic exploration capabilities remain unchanged.
Even now, Lee Gyeong-bok was scouting the surrounding terrain with two drones.
“Ahem. I’ll keep quiet about this. It might be a spoiler.”
Genome didn't explain further.
Thanks to this, my curiosity grew even more, but fortunately my attention was diverted elsewhere.
“It’s a practice.”
The full-scale protection mission has begun.
The members were attacked several times, but fortunately, no major problems occurred. In fact, the viewers enjoyed it.
-Is your practice partner too strong?
-Wow haha it's really obvious since I upgraded
-This is really a cool axe throwing game lol
-Deununa also shoots them all in one go lol
-The engineers' Perfect Barrier is incredibly sturdy, isn't it?
-There's no room for the ugly siege mode to come out lol
-So it was right to suck honey?
It was thanks to the enemies who appeared that they were able to adapt to the changed equipment environment. Decibel smiled leisurely and said.
"I think you were just trying to scare me for no reason. I'm not that easily fooled anymore, am I?"
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at him but waved his hand.
"Still, I don't think Team Leader Ji would joke about safety. Don't let your guard down."
“Oh, yes! Of course, Master!”
"That's correct. The full-scale attack will likely begin once we arrive at the mission location."
At that conversation, Genome pouted his lips exaggeratedly.
“No, why do you listen to the captain more than what I say, even though I really know what I’m saying?”
“If Genome Sir were in our position, do you think it would be different?”
When Eclipse asked back with a smirk, Genome rolled his eyes and nodded.
"Well, I guess our leader's words are more believable. I think I'll trust him too."
-Oh my gosh lol Why can't you trust yourself lol
-???: Did you believe in yourself? You idiot!
-The commander's extreme! Betraying himself!
-What is a tracking tracker? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Godple has a huge advantage in credibility lol
While everyone was laughing, Lee Kyung-bok checked the minimap and said.
“Okay, we’re almost at the mission point.”
As he said, we walked a little further and came to a valley area with a narrower path than other areas.
“0 casualties! No more!”
“The reputation of the Hellapomers was real!”
“If it continues like this, there won’t be any problems, right?”
The NPC engineers moved busily, excitedly. They immediately began the burial work.
“Well, if the enemies come this way, we’ll definitely suffer a lot of damage.”
“Bam! If it explodes here, it’s over!”
“I’ll put it in siege mode first.”
The members immediately went into a state of alert. Lee Kyung-bok focused his senses and observed the enemy's positions.
Soon, red dots began to appear on the minimap.
“Fortunately, it’s coming from the valley.”
The direction the enemies were coming from was a narrow valley. Decibel and Eclipse were relieved.
“It shouldn’t be too difficult to stop it.”
“This place is good for defense, so we can deal with it quickly, right?”
But unlike them, Lee Gyeong-bok frowned.
'Is there something more?'
I felt a sense of alien threat. And it wasn't coming from the direction of the enemies who were now surging towards me.
To be exact, the heights were different.
“There are enemies up there too!”
Lee Kyung-bok immediately turned the drone's scan direction and marked it. A red dot appeared even on the high cliff.
-Huh? What is it?
-Were you actually lying in ambush?
-No;; But isn't that not a slope to go down?
-If you come down from there, won't you just fall?
The viewers were confused, but the members who actually looked up could immediately see what was happening.
“What is that? A pterosaur?”
“In the air!?”
"Oh, I told you it was difficult. They're called 'Acid Wings'! Be careful, they spit acid!"
As soon as Genome finished speaking, the Acid Wings descended, spitting out green mucus.
“Wow, woooooooo!”
“It’s an air raid!”
“Everyone, get out of here!”
The engineers shouted in alarm. A beat later, Decibel returned fire, but the bullets proved ineffective in clearing the mucus.
“Don’t worry about defense, just aim for the enemy!”
But the mucus never touched the ground. Lee Kyung-bok's barrier drone glowed and blocked the attack.
-Perfect Barrier ON!
-Oh my gosh lol the controls are really crazy lol
-Wow, lol, you're pinpointing this lol
-Barrier consumption efficiency ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ
-No waste, isn't that perfect?
As the attack was blocked, the engineers who had been trying to escape began working again.
“Come on, hurry up!”
“Everyone, believe in Helaformers!”
“Don’t look up! Look down!”
The genie smiled at him and fired his howitzer.
"Wow, you're truly the captain! Sir Ikle, let's sweep them all away!"
With a dull crack, the shell arced through the air. It landed amidst the oncoming horde of hellhounds, exploding.
Sharp axe blades flew in front of the men running out of the spreading smoke.
“The air is in the hands of Sir Decibel!”
“Of course!”
While Eclipse stood his ground, retrieving his hatchet, Decibel aimed his gun at the sky.
The Acid Wing, which had been hovering in the sky, began to fall after a series of gunfire.
-Just make the division of labor strict lol
-I was a little surprised at first, but it's Fuzzy Day, right?
-Ah haha, whether you fly or not, you can't avoid the purge, Imari.
-It's really comfortable because the air raid is blocked, right?
-Godple's barrier is so sturdy!
Viewers were relieved to see the battle unfold in the favor of Genome. Among the members, the more laid-back Genome agreed.
"No, I brought some consumable batteries just in case. Seriously, the captain is so good that I don't need them. How can you even add damage to a scan in the middle of all this?"
Lee Kyung-bok was not only focusing on defense, but was also keeping Acid Wing in check with laser drones.
Only then did the viewers realize it.
-Ah haha the sky is so red you can't tell
-It looks good on the drone cam lol
-Wow what the f*ck are you controlling two at the same time?
-What the heck lol your eyes are burning lol
-Isn't this essentially serving two people?
-Really lol I found out it was a 5-person team game lol
-Who said the engineer was old?
-Customer? This is the perfect engineer!
Lee Kyung-bok was one person, but his influence extended to many.
* * *
Thanks to the members' response, the minelaying operation proceeded smoothly.
“Job done!”
“The last minefield has been laid!”
“We must retreat now!”
When all the work was finally finished, the engineers quickly raised their voices.
-Oh? It's over already?
-Ah haha, there are no interruptions, so why would it take time?
-We fit together so well?
-There are no gaps, isn't that Fuzzy Day?
Viewers were surprised and satisfied, and the members reacted similarly.
"Is this mission cleared now!? Oh, no. I have to escape too!"
“Still, I think it’s okay to consider this the end. Those guys are running away too.”
"Thank you all for your hard work! I'll just disappear completely and go back."
Perhaps because the mission was nearing its end, the enemies began to retreat. While everyone else was relieved, only Lee Kyung-bok blinked.
“Well, I think it would be better to catch them all rather than just let them go.”
Even if I returned like this, the mission would have been a success. However, I intuitively felt it would be better to eliminate all the enemies.
“Purple Sir, are you going to chase after me?”
"No, Captain. Even if the ground is like that, what are you going to do about Acid Wing?"
“Um… I usually follow Master’s orders. But if I step outside of your jurisdiction, there’s no other way, right?”
Meanwhile, the members cautiously expressed their opposition. They might be able to catch enemies on the ground, but there was no way to catch Acid Wing in the sky.
“Of course there is a way.”
“⋯Yes?”
"If you think it's not possible, it's not there, but if you think it's possible, it's there. I think it would be good for our lawmakers to be aware of this."
-??????
-There is a way?
-What? What on earth are you implying?
-Perfect Think Big again?
-Professor Per's lecture is ON!
-Any tips on Godflu? LOL
Viewers expressed both bewilderment and anticipation. Lee Kyung-bok immediately gave instructions.
"I'll leave the ground to Sir Ikle and the ground crew. Decibel, just follow my instructions. Since we're far away, I'll explain as we go."
The members exchanged glances and nodded at him.
“Yes, Master! Just give me the order!”
“Well, since we’ve already won anyway, there’s no way it won’t work out!”
“I understand. I’m curious to know what Purple Lord thinks!”
The chat window also strongly agreed with him.
When the members set off, the ones who were more confused were the engineers.
“Hey, where are you going!?”
“Not in that direction!”
“You have to follow it first!”
The chase began with engineers on their tail. Viewers laughed at the sight.
-Oh my gosh lol is this right?
-Humanity is chasing, monsters are running away, isn't that Helaforming?
-NPC is so embarrassingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It's really absurd lol
-We have to sweep it all away!
The ground was unscathed by Eclipse and Genome's attacks. Lee Kyung-bok measured the distance between himself and Acid Wing and smiled.
“Mr. Decibel, can you hit it when it comes to the shooting range?”
"Huh? Oh! Of course! It's the marksmanship my master taught me!"
"great."
At her confident answer, Lee Kyung-bok moved his hand. A barrier drone flew toward her.
Lee Kyung-bok said with a smile.
“Just because you don’t have wings doesn’t mean you can’t fly, right?”
"yes?"
Decibel wondered what he meant, but soon he understood what he meant.
“Get in.”
A flat barrier forms over the drone with a whooshing vibration.
“⋯Is it really here?”
Decibel's eyes grew even wider.
I understood it, but it was difficult to accept.
“Purple Sir?”
“Hey, Decibel, fighting!”
The proposal was enough to make even Eclipse and Genome, who were dealing with enemies on the ground, turn their attention away for a moment.
“No, really!?”
"Yes, it's simple, right? It's a method that all of our members can follow."
Naturally, the reactions of the viewers watching were similar.
-Humans becoming drones lol
-Hyung? We're not a combat force!
-Right lol I would never do that
-I'll leave this to Denunna^^
-Isn't that something a student of the academy should do, not a king?
– Prepare the drone > Load the student > Grab the acid wing
-WA! Three steps!
-Isn't this how you put an elephant in a refrigerator? Lol
-Please stop manipulating the students at the academy ㅠㅠㅠ
-Are you going to sleep!?
However, the viewers were not the parties involved and were merely interested.
