Episode 104 – 2nd OTP Preparation (2)
After successfully completing the discussion on the test-related matters, Lee Kyung-bok and his friends stood up with satisfied expressions.
I was leaving the office and waiting for the elevator.
“Ah, Purple! Could you please wait a moment?”
"yes?"
The business team leader ran out and grabbed them. When the three looked puzzled, he took a short breath and smiled.
“It’ll only take a moment. I have something to give you.”
“Is it a gift?”
The doubt was quickly resolved.
It was because another employee came out carrying a small box.
“This is… … ?”
“Huh? Isn’t this what the development director was using earlier?”
“There are dolls too.”
Inside the box were the Imprisoner's mask, his character doll from within the game, and magnets and stickers using it.
“Haha, actually, Monitor Head is our company’s mascot character. This is a product that utilizes that.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. Purple-nim, you can’t help but know that you’re the character who gives hints in solo escape and co-op mode.”
The business team leader quickly continued his explanation so that Lee Kyung-bok would not feel embarrassed. He couldn't help but not know the hint, as he had immediately entered competitive mode.
“I will gratefully accept it.”
In reality, it wouldn't be of much use, but there was no reason to refuse the gift. Lee Kyung-bok smiled and bowed his head.
The other two friends also bowed their heads, but Choi Byeong-hun suddenly took something out of the box.
“Huh? I think this went in by mistake.”
"album……?"
Park Joo-ho, who was standing next to him, adjusted his glasses and narrowed his eyes. It had nothing to do with the Monitor Head character.
'Is this a Sweeties album?'
Lee Kyung-bok opened his eyes wide when he saw the singer's name written on the album cover.
The business team leader waved his hand at the three people's reactions.
“Oh, no. It’s not a mistake. I’m giving you this too.”
“A girl group album?”
“Yes. Actually, Sweeties has some connection with our company.”
He nodded with a satisfied expression.
“The first advertising model we signed was Sweeties. At the time, recognition was the most important issue, so we had to use celebrities. Among them, we benefited greatly from ‘Nara’.”
“Oh? Really?”
When Lee Kyung-bok showed interest, the other two friends opened their eyes wide.
'Was this kid originally interested in girl groups?'
It wasn't difficult to read the meaning contained in it. However, Lee Kyung-bok didn't care and waited for the business team leader's answer.
“Of course. At the time, Nara had a very solid image as an athletic idol, so I thought it would be a bit difficult at first, but she later flew in the escape variety show as well.”
"oh……"
Lee Kyung-bok nodded his head with a small sigh. However, the meaning of his exclamation was slightly different from what others thought.
'I thought he was only good physically, but he seems to have a quick mind as well.'
What Lee Kyung-bok thought of was not 'Nara', the leader of the girl group Sweeties, but 'Newton'.
'Are you a fan of Sweeties? If so, I'd like to tell you more.'
The business manager, who did not know the inside story, continued to praise him with a big smile on his face.
“There are quite a few of our gamers who have become Sweeties fans and settled down. From our perspective, that alone is enough to make us thankful, but every time a new album comes out, they send us their songs and tell us to listen to them.”
“The contract is over, right?”
“That’s right! Usually, when the contract ends, everyone goes their separate ways. Also, if you compare them to the past, their popularity has greatly changed. However, when you look at this, you can see that not only are their abilities outstanding, but their personalities are also impeccable.”
Lee Kyung-bok nodded his head.
'Well, since misfortune rarely befalls this place, everyone must have had good fortune. Sweeties must have been one of them.'
At that moment, the elevator arrived with a ding. The business team leader came to his senses at the sound and immediately lowered his head while controlling his expression.
“Oh my, I talked too much.”
“No. It was an interesting story. And you even gave me a gift. Well, let’s go.”
“Yes, please go in carefully!”
The three of them got on the elevator, receiving his polite greeting.
* * *
That evening.
There were many people living in the official Escapers community, 'Runiya'.
[This new theme prediction (Holy Land prediction)]
[Please, some horror or thriller!]
[Surely it's not a fairy tale theme?]
[Ah haha last time, the 'room you can't leave without X' was so funny]
[It turned out it was a gym lol]
[I'm so shocked when I see that 20+20=60 lol]
People chatting while waiting for the announcement of a new theme update. But the topic wasn't just games.
[How is this new Sweeties album?]
[Isn't Sweeties a dachshund?]
[I've already been streaming for 24 hours lol]

[How many albums did you guys buy?]
[Please don't buy autograph session tickets from resellers this time]
[I wish they'd put an identification code on each album to educate the resellers, f*ck]
Since there were many Sweeties fans among those who had been there since the beginning, there were naturally many related articles. There was even a separate Sweeties bulletin board.
Finally, after a long wait, the scheduled announcement was posted.
[New theme 'I Can't Breath In Space' update/event]
People who had been waiting immediately checked the notice.
[-Oh lol space colony]
[-How long has it been since I've played SF? LOL]
[-Restore power and use it as a pod]
[-Wow lol look at the scale]
[-Oh, oh …
The new theme this time was science fiction, with the setting being an escape from an abandoned space colony.
Those who were satisfied with the attached screenshot soon began to express their doubts.
[Over the Perfect (OTP) – Escapers!
1. Introduction
The new stars of the streamer world, 'Perfect Play' and 'Escapers' have met!
Collaboration event with new theme update!
The faster you escape, the bigger the prize!
A fierce battle of wits between 100 people, who will be the winner?
2. Prize money
<'I'll go first' award>
Escape 1st place – 1 million won
<'More than Perfect' Award>
The prize increases the faster you escape before streamer Purple!
Prize money = (Purple's rank – your rank) * 100,000 won
ex) Purple is 10th / Participant is 3rd = (10-3) * 10 = 700,000 won
3. Conditions of Participation
Perfect Play Try Channel Subscriber.
[Selection based on separate test results.]
This was because, unlike before, an event notice was also attached.
[-Who is Perfect Play?]
[-Not;;; If you're going to have an event, bring Sweeties!]
[-Why did you suddenly do this when you were running it well?]
[-Looking at the fact that there is even a prize, is it possible to escape?]
The comments were not very positive. This was because it was an unexpected event for people who did not know Lee Kyung-bok.
[-Please, escape from the game too lol]
[-That's why I have nothing to say even if it's treated as a hipster game, lol]
[-There are people who are physically crazy but also mentally amazing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[- Are you sure the Imprisoner is the kind of person who would make a contract with just anyone? LOL]
[- In the game, people who are crazy about investigation become ping-pongs here]
[-You'll understand right away after watching the gameplay video onceㅋㅋㅋ]
Fortunately, such opinions were in the minority. As soon as people who knew Purple commented, the mood changed.
And there was a comment that put a wedge into that atmosphere.
[Indiana Kings – Purple is a real crazy escape song]
It was a comment left by the 'Indiana Kings', the escape team that lost to him in the competitive mode.
When he, a veteran and a community idiot, appeared, others were surprised as well.
[-Kings-nim's officially crazy skills ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-Wow lol Kings, did you really think it was true?]
[-I saw it live lol it was crazy]
[Indiana Kings – At first I didn't know because I only looked at the physical lol]
[Indiana Kings – It was really unfair because it was at the level of a foul, but I watched it again later and immediately understood]
[Indiana Kings – I'm participating with an undefeated ticket lol I'm going to get revenge this time]
When he expressed his intention to participate, other veterans also became interested.
[-Is it really the Kings who say that?]
[-I have to go and watch the video]
[-Kings? Ah, he was the weakest of our Talcheonwangs.]
[-What is the King of Escape? LOL]
[-If you win here, won't you be the first to escape the developer official?]
[-If you get 1st place out of 100, it's okay]
[-Ah lol I can't stand this]
[-I just tested it for now haha]
As public opinion changed in the comments, more people expressed their intention to participate. Soon, the comment section became quiet as if they were taking a test.
And after a while.
[-Oh? I tested this and it turned out surprisingly well.]
[-f*ck this is so hard]
[-What are those rabbits who say it's okay!]
[-The puzzles are okay, but I gave up on the logic quiz ㅠ]
[-It's not that difficult?]
[-I thought it would be a casual event, but it was surprisingly serious ㅋㅋㅋ]
[-This is a test that has been reviewed by 100% Imprisoner]
[-With this level of filtering, would you really be a certified number one?]
The general public wailed and the old-timers showed even more interest. This was because the level of the test was higher than expected.
[-Ah haha you're running it properly]
[-This is an event]
[-1 million won is so sweet!]
[- Competing against 100 people in an escape room lol]
[-Is the fun part coming out right away?]
[-I think it would be good if you also revamped the competitive mode a bit]
Unlike the beginning, the comments were filled with favorable reviews. It was a new stimulus for the veterans who had fallen into mannerism.
* * *
Meanwhile, Purple's fan page.
There was also an announcement about the '2nd OTP' there. But the response was quite different.
[-This is really too difficult ㅠㅠ]
[-ㅁㅊ my head feels like it's going to explode]
[-I asked my brother to solve it for me but he gave up and ran lol]
[-How did a real god solve something like this?]
[-I think it would be faster to try and succeed at level 941 in Elden Soul ㅋㅋ]
[-Participating in the event has become a challengeㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-As expected, it's a challenge maker!]
Fans who were not familiar with escape rooms or puzzles complained about the pain. However, they could not easily give up participating in the event.
[-Can't we just share the answer among ourselves?]
[Shhh! Search in the open chat room!]
[No lol what kind of open talk is this lol]
[-I can't share the answer to this lol. The problem is different for each person.]
[What the heck? Why does the problem change every time I retweet?]
[I guess this is because the developer prepared it lol]
[Yes, that's right. The algorithm for solving this problem is fixed, and only the values that are substituted change.]
[Please explain so I can understand]
[The format is the same, but the answer is different every time lol]
[ㄹㅇㅋㅋ A similar problem to the tutorial came out, but instead of ANDY, NOAH and LIAM also appeared]
Those who tried to find a workaround somehow had to face frustration again. But not everyone failed.
[Test passed certification haha]
[It was a bit tough, but I passed!]
[I got through it, but this event seems really intense lol]
Test passing certifications are starting to appear one by one.
[-Huh? How did you do that?]
[-What on earth is your identity!]
[-Wow, you broke this?]
[-Did you originally play Escapers?]
People who couldn't even get past the first few questions, let alone pass the test, couldn't believe it.
And there were some who crossed the line.
[-You can tell it's fake just by looking at itㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-Right lol this is a composite]
[-If you get this much attention, will your life get better?]
[-old interest lol]
[-I feel sad when I think about filling my self-esteem like this in the corner of the room]
The number wasn't that large, but there were enough comments to irritate the nerves. So those who passed the test posted new certification posts.
[I'm not unemployed haha]
[Please ask the school and we will verify it for you (it is a local university)]
[Certification for fear of being driven into a corner]
Those who confirmed this could not hide their shock.
[-Yes? A lawyer?]
[-Ugh lol I think I'm going to get sick of the haters]
[-I think I've heard of this law firm name before, lol]
[-This is a post that will have comments about being hit by a cat]
[-What the heck ㅋㅋㅋ There really are people who are like that]
[-What? What did I see?]
[-Is this real? This is MIT?]
[-You're a local! You're a local! You're a local!]
[-Ah lol if it's MIT then it's a mess]
[-American local government lol]
[-I'm a brainiac]
[-Wow lol Mensa membership card lol]
[-Mensa is crazy lol]
[-Wow lol you're from Mensa]
[-Do you like spicy chadol jjambbong?]
[-Why is Chajam here? LOL]
[-What the hell is the level of the listeners!]
The authentication relay that started with suspicion soon spread like wildfire. Viewers who had nothing else to show could not recover from the shock.
[I feel once again that there are many capable people… …]
[I'm just a freeloader who watches TV shows. What's the level of a listener?]
[I was eating up the average of the listeners ㅠㅠ]
[I never thought I would get scammed by other people]
[I know it's a bit weird, but I didn't expect this]
[Ah haha, how can you compete with people like these!]
[This OTP went overboard ㅠ]
The atmosphere of the fan page, which had once been heated, quickly cooled down. It was not the intention of those who had authenticated it, but other people had lost their motivation.
It was just then.
[<Event> Do You Know Purple?]
A new notice posted on the fan page.
It was only natural that everyone's attention was focused there.
[Hello, I am the channel manager and editor!
This OTP participation test is difficult, isn't it?
(To be honest, I tried to solve it but gave up right away ㅠ)
So here's a new test prepared!
<Do You Know Purple?> (Click!)
If you go to the link, you can take the test we have prepared.
Example question) What was the first emoticon added to the purple channel?
1) Perhacon 2) Pervacon
3) Peridot cone 4) Gemal cone
We will be giving a ticket to the 2nd OTP to 10 people who pass this test, so please participate actively!
* Participation requirements = 2-month subscriber
* We ask for your understanding as we were unable to provide opportunities to many people as this was a position created in coordination with the developers.]
People who read the notice burst into laughter.
[-Wow lol]
[-As expected, it's Godple! You didn't abandon us!]
[-Ah lol this kind of test is possible]
[-I think this is more intense]
Although the chances were slim, it was thanks to the fact that the opportunity arose.
Accordingly, the trend on fan pages has shifted from specification certification to subscription certification.
[I'm going to subscribe anyway, so isn't it a great deal?]
[I just signed up for a 2 month subscription]
[I think there will be a lot of people who get full marks, so I guess they will give me a high tier?]
[Yeah~ I'll put the highest tier on it]
[Huh! Did you know I sponsored you a lot?]
[Can't you also reflect the accumulated channel points? Please!]
[Listeners who opened their eyes to the wave of capitalism ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[This isn't a god-play, you have to conquer the editor or manager lol]
[Deposit completed! Loyalty, loyalty^^7]
[If you treat me like this, I'll feel like subscribing ㅋㅋㅋ]
The atmosphere was reversed as if it had never been gloomy. It was a fun night for both the fans and Team Perfect.
