The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 100

Episode 100 – Escape is by Talent (3)

Lee Kyung-bok entered competitive mode and pressed start game.

[Looking for other escapees… …]

As soon as the system message appeared before my eyes, the chat window responded immediately.

-I did it! I did it!

-You really did this lol

-Right after the tutorial, there's competition lol

-I really admit that I like the pervert one a lot.

-But does this get cue?

Viewers expressed surprise and wonder. Lee Kyung-bok's eyes widened for another reason.

“Huh? You can’t choose a theme for this?”

That question caused laughter to spread throughout the chat window.

-Why is there such a foul smell here?

-Newbie is the oldest newbie

-Newbie (5 minute tutorial)

-Competitive mode isn't something you can choose to doㅋㅋㅋ

-It's random matching!

-If you choose it directly, it's obvious that you'll be labeled as having already cleared it.

Fortunately, there were some viewers who enjoyed Escapers. Unlike solo escapes or cooperative modes, the competitive mode is explained to have a theme that is randomly determined.

-Because it is PVP, there is something similar to MMR.

-ㅇㅇ The time spent clearing each theme is recorded as a career.

-If you look at the escape route information, it all comes out.

-Really lol We have to match the level as much as possible.

– Since Godple is a newbie, it seems like he will only be matched with 0 clears at least.

While Lee Kyung-bok was reading the information provided by the viewers, a thud sound effect was heard indicating that a match had been made.

“Oh, thank you for the information. Matching is still fast.”

Soon, dark silhouettes appeared around them. There were three of them, and including Lee Kyung-bok, there were four people competing to escape.

"hello!"

"Nice to meet you."

“Oh, it’s a rematch with the Indiana Kings.”

The three people immediately greeted each other. Lee Kyung-bok also greeted them brightly.

“Hello! This is my first time competing, so please take care of me.”

The silhouette's head immediately turned to his greeting.

“Huh? Are you a newbie?”

“What? Are you really a newbie?”

“Wow, it’s true. Cleared 0 times!”

The three people didn't hide their surprise. The viewers burst into laughter at that sight.

-Wow, haha, they're veterans!

-What is it? What the heck? Why are you matching me with old people?

-The lowest escape rate is 5 times lol

-5, 17, 30 times cleared lol

-Ah haha that means there aren't any newbies

-Is it normal for the screen to smell bad?

-to

-The smell of fish is crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It seems like they see each other often in the meantime ㅋㅋㅋ

Contrary to expectations, the matches were made with users with considerable experience.

“Now, wait a minute. This person really has no playing experience at all?”

“Perfect Play? Did you just finish the tutorial?”

“Uh… no, why the competition… … ”

In the meantime, the rest of the users seemed to have checked Lee Kyung-bok's information. The viewers burst into laughter again at that reaction.

-5252, Are you surprised by the clean water?

-It's not just clean water, it's first-class water.

-But don't they know purple?

-Do you know Purple is here?

-Escapers is a minor genre lol

-Really lol. Aren't you a hipster among hipsters?

-It's a monthly sale, but it doesn't work locally?

-Local okay lol

-No matter how good you are, you have to work hard, lol

Lee Kyung-bok frowned slightly as he watched the viewers' reactions. He might have said something rude to the Escapers users.

At this he opened his mouth to divert attention elsewhere.

“Yes, it’s my first time. I heard that the competitive mode is difficult, so I came to give it a try.”

All three of them sighed at his words.

“No, I’m not ignoring you, but it would be better to start with solo play or cooperation.”

“Yes, yes, you shouldn’t be having fun for no reason.”

“Because we don’t have that many game users anyway. If it suits your taste, it’s really fun, but competition is a separate thing from taste.”

-The veterans are excited to see the newbies leave!

-No lol It's even funnier because you're really worried lol

-Do you know that almost ten thousand people are watching the broadcast right now?

-There seem to be more people who are just listening to the game than those who are playing competitive mode. Lol

-If it weren't for Godple's broadcast, would 10,000 people be watching? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Lee Kyung-bok also smiled at their reactions. It seemed that both the developers and the users had a lot of affection for the game.

But apart from that, there was also concern that the match might not work out if things continued as they were. Fortunately, Lee Kyung-bok had a weapon that could persuade them.

“Don’t worry about quitting the game. I have the season pass too.”

It was a season pass that the developers had gifted. At those words, other users flinched, but soon let out exclamations.

“Oh, really?”

“Wow… …! You bought it as Ultimate.”

“No, there aren’t many people living in this community.”

They checked Lee Kyung-bok's information again and were soon relieved. They had invested up to 300,000 won, so they wouldn't give up the game easily.

“Yes, don’t worry and let’s get started.”

“Well, that’s good.”

“Yeah, well. Once you try competing, you’ll probably want to play solo.”

“You won’t let me off the hook because I’m a newbie, right?”

As all four of them finished preparing, the doors in the background began to rattle.

-Ugh lol I won't give it to you just because you're King B

-Another good person is being sacrificed like this ㅠㅠ

-I don't know about Escapers lol

-Really ㅋㅋ Even though his physical abilities are amazing, his brain is different.

-I don't know!

-Isn't it so much fun for us to watch?

Finally, as if the theme had been decided, one of the doors that had been shaking suddenly opened. With that, a flash of light appeared and the surrounding background changed.

[Pharaoh's Curse]

The hieroglyphs carved on the stone tablet changed into Korean, revealing a desert and a huge pyramid built on top of it.

<You excavated the pyramids with your colleagues. Everything was hopeful. You felt like fame and fortune were within your grasp.>

The screen changed to show a Pharaoh statue displayed in a huge stone chamber, with a narration by a professional voice actor.

<But hope was lost. The master of the pyramid did not forgive the intruder. His wrath overtook you.>

There was a loud bang and the surroundings became dark in an instant. Soon, vision returned with the torch slowly burning.

<To appease the Pharaoh's wrath, you had to sacrifice a soul. Someone else's soul, not yours.>

As the narration ended, control returned.

-Oh lol, there are settings too

-Where have I heard this narration voice before?

-I think I heard it from a documentary lol

-Wow haha you invested a lot

-It seems okay for a K game?

-You're lucky even if you don't have to pick a lottery ticket ㅋㅋㅋ

While the viewers were having fun, Lee Kyung-bok quickly rolled his eyes.

“Since it’s a competition, I’ll go explore right away.”

There were quite a few things in the stone cell where he was locked up.

Piles of sand, broken stone slabs, and dirty bandages were strewn about. Gold and silver treasures, perhaps buried together in the stone chamber, were piled in the corners, and torches flickered on the walls.

Oddly enough, there was also a structure in the center that looked like an altar.

-Wow lol It's really different in scale from the tutorial.

-No;;; How do you know what's important here?

-If it were me, I could just stare blankly for 10 minutes.

-mchdmchng

-If you highlight it, you can find it quickly

-Oh, right! Don't other people turn on the highlighter?

-Yeah, I think he's already packing his stuff.

-Isn't that too disadvantageous?

The atmosphere in the chat room immediately darkened. But Lee Kyung-bok was different.

Having already figured out the items he needed, he moved immediately.

“I’ll try to fit these slabs and pieces together first.”

He quickly picked up the broken stone slab and the pieces around it. It felt like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, except that he couldn't see the finished form.

-Is this correct? Am I getting this right now?

-No;;; Shouldn't you learn hieroglyphs in advance?

-ㅁㅊ Where did you learn that?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The piled up sand is also suspicious!

-Isn't there really something hidden inside?

-My brain is already freezing lol

-Let's start by looking for treasure!

-Wow lol the competition mode is seriously crazy

Lee Kyung-bok put the pieces together without paying any attention to the viewers' reactions. There was not a single hint of hesitation in his hands.

A moment later, he was holding a fitted stone slab in his hand.

When I finally looked at the completed stone slab, the hieroglyphs had changed into Korean, just like the theme logo.

[The swaying darkness will swallow up the sinner]

The translation was done, but it needed interpretation.

Viewers were left scratching their heads again.

-Have you guessed yet?

-Wow lol I'm tired of brainwashing

-This is all possible because you have a perfect eye for detail ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What is it? Is it a hint? What is it suggesting?

-Is the sinner talking about the escape route?

– Darkness? Shouldn't the torches be turned off?

-Oh, that's possible lol. Like you have to be dark to see something?

-Ah haha I can't stand the glow-in-the-dark mummy

-Glow in the dark mummy ok lol

-No! Darkness swallows the sinner! This is a death flag!

-Ah, just say "Really ㅋㅋ"

There were also different opinions on the interpretation of the clue. However, Lee Kyung-bok did not pay attention to the chat window.

It was thanks to his divine power that he was able to read thoughts and bring back information.

‘That’s what it was… …!’

As soon as he realized it, he turned his eyes. To the viewers, the process seemed to take less than ten seconds, so the chat window filled with question marks.

-What? What is it?

-What did you find out?

-No? You just know when you see this?

-Using your brain is really different, lol

-The amount of calculations is 5 times more lol

-I just believe in Godple!

-(Purple Dojangcone)(Purple Dojangcone)

Lee Kyung-bok dug through the piled treasures. The mountain of gold coins had collapsed, and he was holding an ornament in his hand.

It was an ornament in the shape of a long snake.

-Oh, is this Apep?

-Ap? What is that?

-He's an evil god from Egyptian mythology lol

-Oh? Are you Egyptian?

-What lol. If you know foreign myths, does that mean you're a foreigner?

-Does this have anything to do with the hint?

While the viewers were expressing their doubts, Lee Kyung-bok placed the decorations on the altar. Then he gathered the torches around him and placed them in front of the altar.

The shadow of a snake appeared behind the altar in the light of the torch. Lee Kyung-bok opened his mouth only after completing a series of movements.

“The shimmering darkness, this means shadows. So I thought I should use torches for now.”

-Perfect solution ON!

-Oh lol that's right

-Ah, I guess I should have focused more on the word 'swaying'!

-How did that come to mind?

-(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)

Lee Kyung-bok continued his explanation as viewers nodded in agreement.

“Pharaoh is either a king or a god here, right? Probably closer to the latter. Since the narration says to offer up one’s soul, the altar would be the right place.”

-Wow, you remembered all that?

-Oh lol I just overheard it

-Me too lol I thought it was just a concept explanation

-But there was a hidden hint?

Lee Kyung-bok nodded.

Even though I did nothing, the shadow on the wall grew in size.

“Yes, I had to create a shadow, but I was wondering what to use. It couldn’t be sand or bandages, so I’ll pass. So I looked through the treasures to see if there was anything I could put on the altar. As soon as I saw this, the phrase ‘Swallowing Sinners’ came to mind.”

-Swallow the sinner? Why?

-Ah! That's right!

-Wow lol I get it right away when I hear the explanation

-When a snake eats its prey, it swallows it whole!

-Wow lol I got goosebumps lol

-This is crazy lol

-Everything is connected, f*ck

-You see one phrase and it all comes to mind?

-The real fuzzy one is a legend lol

-Ah haha this is perfect!

The viewers were amazed by the flawless and clear explanation. Soon, the shadow's eyes began to glow red.

['Perfect Play' has completed the ritual!]

[The 'Curse of Apep' strikes an escapee!]

A system message came to mind along with it. At the same time, the view changed.

“What, what? It’s already finished?”

The man who had been crouching raised his head as if he had finally aligned the slabs. But soon his face turned grave.

It was because the sound of a snake slithering was heard.

“S, really… … It’s me? It’s me?”

He jumped up in disbelief. Then he looked around and saw a snake slithering out from between the cracks in the stone wall.

-who?

-Oh lol I won!

-Pharaoh: Rocket Curse Delivery is really good^^

-Wow lol even the old people have now matched the stone slabs, so what's the difference?

-Bye!

-Oh lol is this an Escapers-style kill cam?

-The developers don't know anything lol

The viewers did not hide their delight. Lee Kyung-bok also smiled, although he did not laugh openly.

The winner's right was a pleasant law.

“No, you’re clearly a newbie? How on earth… …!”

He ran to the torch in a hurry, confused. Unfortunately, his steps did not last long.

"100 million!"

A poisonous snake lunged at him and bit him. He fell forward like a stiff tree. The screen darkened as snakes slithered over him.

[The soul of 'I can't leave home' became a sacrifice]

The system message that appeared eventually made his elimination clear.

-I'm so confused until I die lol

-But that would be really unfair lol

-Not to another veteran, but to a newbie lol

-Ah lol you're a newbie right?

-I thought it was clean water, but it turned out to be poisonous?

-Did you know that fish can't live in water that is too clear?

The viewers were satisfied.

Soon, the screen returned to Lee Kyung-bok's stone room. And control was back again.

“Oh, the room looks a little different?”

The arrangement and composition of the objects changed, as if it meant to find the next curse. It was the moment when Lee Kyung-bok was about to take action again.

'……what?'

A sudden, creepy feeling. It was a threat I never thought I would experience in Escapers.

'Not one, but hundreds… …!'

He quickly turned his eyes away. At the same time, a system message appeared.

['Indiana Kings' has completed the ritual!]

[The 'Curse of the Scarab' strikes an escapee!]

Following Lee Kyung-bok's example, he also completed another escape route.

-omg?

-Wow;;; Clearing it 30 times is different

-This guy's brain is no joke either lol.

-What is jamba!

-I'm more surprised that Gotple is faster than that guyㅋㅋㅋ

-Really lol That person used highlights

Viewers laughed at the message, but then realized that the user had just heard a rustling sound, similar to a snake.

-But our Godple is still a bit weak ㅠ

-In competitive mode, finding the answer quickly is not the point.

-The timing of completion must also be measured carefully.

-Really ㅋㅋ Since one of the god players was removed, the original probability was 1/3 but now it's 1/2

-It's a shame to lose Kabi

-Still, getting the first kill on your first try is an incredible feat!

Among the viewers, those who experienced Escapers left comments in the chat as if to comfort Lee Kyung-bok.

Soon, black beetles began to swarm out from the wall. Lee Gyeong-bok's face hardened.

-Ah ㅠㅠ I did well but I'm unlucky

-50% chance but I have nothing to say

-I can hear the sound of Q-Dari Shake sighing!

-Granjeel was a godsend lol

-No, this is really unfair, f*ck

-Really lol In terms of skill, he was really perfect

-No matter how good you are, is luck something you can't do anything about?

-I thought there was no gacha, but there is gacha here ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah haha, where are you going after playing K-game?

-This is a crappy game, lol

The viewers sensed defeat. They felt even more resentful because it wasn't a situation where they were pushed back by skill.

But Lee Gyeong-bok thought differently.

“No, you made a good game.”

He climbed up to the altar, holding the torches he had planted in the floor in both hands. The floor was filled with beetles that had pushed their way out of the walls.

They crawled up the altar, aiming for the dragonfly, and some spread their wings and swooped down.

The moment I thought that was the end.

“If you look at it, there’s no law that says you have to die.”

Lee Kyung-bok smiled and swatted away the flying beetle. The beetle fell with a loud crack.

But that was just the beginning. The number of beetles flying in from all directions was difficult to count.

But Lee Kyung-bok's heightened senses, heightened by the sense of threat, found the answer.

A dull, rhythmic impact sound was heard, and with that sound, the beetles exploded like firecrackers.

The chat window was filled with question marks in that situation. Who on earth could survive in a situation like this?

The viewers knew the answer.

-???

-What is it? Can you catch it?

-Wow lol I'm so excited lol

-No;; Is this really possible?

Lee Kyung-bok laughed leisurely as he eliminated the beetles that were rushing at him. They may be numerous, but compared to Elden Soul, they are child's play.

“If I take care of all this, do you think I’ll be able to survive?”

Being detected as a threat means that it can be dealt with. I tried it and it worked.

-Fuzzy here again?

-Ah lol, if it's Godple, it'll be fine

-Did you stand up properly?

-Newbie (Elden's Only Sword)

-What is this, it's suddenly a rhythm game!

-Is this the master of the big drum or something?

-Hey lol Escapers was a great game

-Really lol there was a hidden mini game too

-A minigame that only Godple can playㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm really an expert at playing other games alone!

-What the heckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So funㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Haha! Pharaoh Shake, you didn't know this!?

-Escape (Physics)

It may not be possible for other people, but it is possible for Lee Kyung-bok.

Because he's purple.
