Episode 489 – You Didn't Know This? (1)
Mining base, briefing room.
After the conversation with Lucifer ended, the location changed.
<Based on the information Lucifer provided at the outpost, we successfully tracked down the energy source.>
The lawmakers in the hologram conveyed the situation with serious expressions.
<While Lucifer himself, a being of Hell, cannot be completely trusted, the information he conveyed was true. And more importantly, the "Hellfire" is believed to be present in that laboratory.>
The members in the cutscene looked at each other as they heard the answer from the council.
Yes, that's right. The ultimate goal of Helaforming is the "Hellfire," the source of infinite power. The energy currently produced by the Helaforming units is merely a byproduct.
“No, then doesn’t that mean I have to go no matter what?”
“Hmm, that’s right. Securing hellfire is a priority for the survival of humanity.”
“They want to secure the fires of hell and stop the demons’ technological advancement.”
Viewers also came to the same conclusion as the members.
-So, does this mean that Region 3 is confirmed as a research institute?
-Really lol the boss just showed up
Leviathan, the Demon of Jealousy
-The devil of the magpie ㅎㄷㄷ
-Oh my gosh, it suddenly disappeared!
-The magpie gets jealous easily lol
Soon, the members of the National Assembly bowed their heads with solemn expressions.
Thanks to the activities of the Hellapomers, humanity is moving further away from the apocalypse. We've received reports that thanks to your recent occupation of the mines, humanity's military power has been significantly increased.
Along with this, the hologram shifted, revealing a view of Earth. The projected hologram was filled with newly constructed structures.
It's not just military equipment. Surplus Hell Metal is being transported to Earth to help countless refugees suffering from resource shortages.
Soon, the hologram revealed a large crowd of people, holding signs and placards supporting Hellapomers and cheering for the camera.
There was much opposition in the beginning, but things are different now. Everyone realizes that you are humanity's savior and hope.
The hologram returned to the members of the assembly. They bowed deeply and expressed their gratitude.
<On behalf of all mankind, I would like to express my gratitude, honor, and best wishes to the Hellapomers.>
That was the end of the message. Soon, the cutscene ended, and everyone let out a sigh.
“Oh, something makes my heart ache.”
“It feels rewarding to express my gratitude like this.”
“That’s right. Watching things like this helps me get more immersed.”
“Ugh, this is what it’s like to play a game!”
-King Jikji Purge Day is definitely worth immersing yourself in.
-Right, lol. You need to have some skill to get into this!
-It would be embarrassing if you didn't know anything and just woke up and got this reaction. Hahaha
-???: Yes? Me? Hope?
-If it's Purge Day, isn't it the best among the Hellapomers?
-Really ㅋㅋ Is it so natural to be treated as a hero of humanity?
The viewers, too, were proud, as if it were their own story. But soon the mood in the chat room changed.
“Okay, I’ve cleared up to Area 2. It was a lot more fun than yesterday, wasn’t it?”
“The background changes and the situations become more diverse, so it’s bound to be fun!”
"Wow, seriously! It was definitely fun, but I definitely knew that Area 1 was just a tutorial."
“Well, the greater the hardship, the greater the sense of accomplishment.”
It was thanks to the members' preparations for the end of the broadcast.
-Oh no! You're leaving already!?
-What kind of devilish indulgence is this?!
-But today was quite informative haha
-Really ㅋㅋ I went straight from the linked mission to the boss fight ㅋㅋ
-It's definitely time consuming, but it's more tiring than area 1 lol
-And you picked out several legends today too?
-There are only a few challenges that have been created lol
-Ah lol The developers need to give them time to patch it lol
-What the heck is this developer's consideration and indulgence?
Viewers expressed their disappointment, but also agreed. The members concluded their comments with a lighthearted tone.
"Oh, you all saw it clearly. The developers even looked at it directly and gave us feedback! We should pay attention to it too!"
“See you all again tomorrow!”
“The conquest of hell is not over yet!”
"Okay. Our purge day is tomorrow! We'll be back again. Have a nice night!"
The broadcast ended with the members' greetings.
* * *
After the broadcast, Genome's studio.
“Everyone worked hard!”
“Yes, Master! Come in!”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“See you tomorrow!”
The four members finished greeting each other and dispersed. But as soon as Lee Kyung-bok logged out.
“Master, are you out?”

“I think so.”
“Yes, I’m completely out.”
The remaining three gathered again, keeping an eye on the situation. Soon, they confirmed that Lee Kyung-bok had completely left and settled down.
“Ugh… I feel a little guilty because we’re meeting without the Master’s knowledge.”
“But there’s nothing we can do about it, right?”
“Right, if it’s something we can all discuss together, there’s no reason to do it like this.”
It was a secret meeting of Purge Day, excluding Lee Kyung-bok. The members immediately brought up the reason.
“Because Master will definitely refuse.”
“Yes. If I offered to repay you, you would never accept it.”
“It’s really hard to repay a favor, isn’t it?”
The three of them made the arrangements to repay the favor to Team Perfect.
"Okay, I briefly mentioned this in a chat, but I'm sure you all realized it. So, after we started broadcasting in Region 1, our number of overseas subscribers suddenly increased?"
“No, I really thought there was something wrong?”
“I’ve broadcasted with Purple a few times and still am surprised every time.”
Genome naturally brought the situation back to him.
"It's true that the developers created this challenge, but you can feel it all, right? It's all thanks to the source code provided by Team Perfect."
“That’s right, that’s right, our editor was really surprised.”
“Sharing video sources is common, but this is definitely different.”
Exchanging video sources was commonplace in mergers between streamers. It was even more essential for mergers between crew members.
Of course, the main character is me, but I also had to show the reactions of other members through cross-editing.
But this time there were also non-interchangeable sources.
“No, honestly, if you translate a script of that level, shouldn’t you be paid?”
“Oh, that’s what I’m saying! I heard Master is secretly stubborn about this kind of thing.”
“Besides, isn’t that script for dubbing Purple’s YouTube membership?”
This was because Team Perfect recognized that it had become an issue overseas and even provided the members with a subtitle script.
“Honestly, if we hadn’t given that, overseas viewers would have definitely gone to YouTube.”
“No matter how foreign the issue is, it’s difficult to watch it without subtitles.”
“That’s right! If Master is willing to make such concessions, wouldn’t it be only natural to receive something in return?”
Lee Gyeong-bok offered it out of kindness, but the three of them were not the ones to just sit back and accept the favor.
In order to somehow repay Lee Gyeong-bok, they conspired(?).
"Well, then the question is how to repay him? But Purple won't accept it in money, either."
“How about giving me the item as a non-refundable item?”
“Hmm, but that’s a bit ambiguous. If it doesn’t suit your taste, it’ll be a difficult thing to deal with… Miss, I can’t ask Master about this.”
“Hmm, then why don’t we make a plaque and give it to them…”
The three of them brainstormed and brainstormed ideas. As they were discussing various topics, Genome clicked his tongue and said,
“Use it… But as I talk about it, it seems like it’s a bit much to only focus on Team Perfect.”
"yes?"
"No, I have my own team, don't I? Of course, they understand it intellectually, but people's hearts don't always work that way."
“Hmm, that’s true. It’s the way to bend your arms inward.”
"Well, I'm just one editor, so I can take care of it separately. I'm sure you're the same way. It's best when everyone has fun together."
When everyone was working together in a merger, it wasn't a pleasant situation to see one side receiving favoritism. No matter how justified the reason, feelings were a separate issue.
The expressions of the three people darkened as obstacles were added, rather than solutions.
"All together, all together… How about this? After we finish this merged content, we'll have a full Purge Day team dinner."
“A company dinner?”
“Aha, it would be a nice gesture if the three of us split the cost.”
The other two nodded at Genome's suggestion.
"A full team dinner would also be beneficial for communication. Editors would communicate with each other, and managers with each other, right?"
"Oh! And vlogs, let's do vlogs too! I don't think Master would object if we used it as content, right? Of course, we'd record it and broadcast it without showing my face!"
“Wow, Decibel-nim knows a thing or two. Of course you have to look at the content angle!”
"But wouldn't it be difficult to keep Purple-nim's schedule secret? If we've already decided on it ourselves, what if you have other plans?"
Decibel sighed briefly as Eclipse spoke cautiously. But Genome smiled confidently.
"Hey, we all have to coordinate our schedules. Leave the location preparations to me, and I'll ask Team Perfect."
“Huh? You’re asking me directly?”
“Of course I won’t tell Purple herself.”
At Genome's words, the two people soon laughed.
“Oh, that’s right. Your team members are also very good at surprises.”
“You will definitely be on the same side as me.”
Lee Kyung-bok's team members were also good at keeping secrets.
* * *
Late at night, Pugmalion's house.
She was talking to other team members via voice chat.
"It's true that the workload will be significantly greater after the merger. Everyone is working so hard."
The editorial team laughed at her worries.
"Hey, it's okay. We don't just use our own sauce. In fact, it's often more convenient."
Oh, and this co-op isn't just for streamers. Editors learn from each other, too.
Choi Byeong-hun continued speaking in a very serious voice.
Editor Lee, you're truly a pro at close combat. The way you create a sense of urgency through composition and effects is truly amazing. This is a huge help to me, Mad Men, and especially you.
"Hey, hey, I know that too, so stop nagging. But I'm more envious of your editorial sense, Genom. Or maybe it's because you're naturally a talker? Your editor's subtitles and memes are no joke."
<Hey, that's a bit innate, so you have to look at it carefully. Have you seen Decibel's work? As expected of a re-gamer, the use of first-person perspective is really⋯!>
<Right! Thanks to you, I'm getting some good stimulation. Oh, we talked too much among ourselves.>
Pugmalion and Jo Daehan burst into laughter at the editorial team's heated remarks.
<Anyway, if we're talking about the hardships, honestly, Daehan is harder.>
Oh, right. If you add in the members' small talk and the chat we're using for points, what's the script volume?
<Huh? Oh, no! It's a co-op game, so there's not a lot of dialogue in the game.>
When the topic of conversation returned to himself, Cho Dae-han answered humbly.
<I saved a lot of time by pre-selecting all the in-game cutscene dialogue, and the dialogue between the members is simple, so it's really not difficult. I'm currently taking a short break and checking out overseas communities.>
<Ow! As expected, he's capable!>
<Ugh, I'm jealous…>
“Oh, there’s already been an overseas response?”
When Pugmalion showed interest, Jo Daehan responded with a smile.
"Oh, don't be ridiculous. Reddit is completely live right now! Oh, and I'll translate a few of the most popular ones for you in advance."
"Huh? Really? Oh, but looking at it now, I don't think I can do the work. If it's okay with you, I'll get it to you later when I'm done."
She was delighted, but soon restrained herself. The other team members agreed.
<Well, Mr. Pugmalion is also in the final stages of work.>
<Oh, just looking at the intermediate process, you really did a great job picking it out, didn't you?>
<Really! I want to tell you to take it easy, but I'm so anxious to see you again, I'm having a huge internal conflict!>
<Ugh, if Kyungbok sees this, he'll definitely be surprised. As you know, he has a knack for surprising others, right?>
The corners of Pugmalion's mouth went up at the encouragement and expectations of his team members.
“I hope that Purple, the other members, and the viewers will like it too.”
Soon she carefully captured the work and posted a photo.
“It’s like this now… What do you think?”
Oh! What the heck! This is even crazier!
<Huh, Pugmalion-nim's designs really don't need any words.>
"No, how can it have such a metallic texture yet still be so charming? Can a machine be this cute?"
The team members immediately showered him with praise. This further boosted Pugmalion's confidence.
“I think we can probably apply it starting from the next broadcast.”
<Ugh! This will definitely work.>
<A craftsman is a craftsman after all!>
<I think overseas fans will ask for this mod too?>
What she prepared was the design source used for Helaformers' appearance change mode.
“The name is Mekapermusae.”
Among them, it was a mod that changed the appearance of Lee Kyung-bok's drone.
