The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 111

Episode 111 – Fan signing event? (1)

Headquarters of GGG, the developer of Gunner Ground.

The staff has been busy as usual, but they've been busier recently because of the fall update and preparations for the event mode.

However, the atmosphere of the development and business offices was different. The development office gradually regained its composure as preparations were completed, but the atmosphere of the business office was dark.

Among them, the marketing team is particularly dark.

“The charges against Serengeti BJs have been confirmed.”

“Oh my gosh, this is driving me crazy… … ”

There was a hitch in the schedule for the Serengeti BJ recruitment issue. It wasn't actually the marketing team's fault, but as the person in charge, I had no choice but to take responsibility.

“How many of the vacancies are filled now?”

“I’m not even halfway done yet… … ”

The marketing team leader's face was pale from the stress he had been under.

“Whew… … First, I’ll ask each team leader streamer again. We need time to verify it on our side, so send me the list as soon as possible.”

"yes."

“Tell it politely! No problem!”

"yes!"

As soon as the employee left, the team leader took out some stomach medicine and took some. But he couldn't even finish it.

He answered the knock he heard, putting down the stomach medicine he was halfway through taking.

“Come in.”

“Team Leader, we have received a call from the Genome team regarding recruiting new team members.”

The team leader nodded with a relieved expression at the name Genome.

'If it's Genome, I can trust it.'

It was less problematic and even created its own issues to attract attention. Thanks to this, the marketing team was able to reduce its burden.

There's a reason why streamers have been around for so long.

“The genome team just checks the basics and moves on.”

To prevent problems like Serengeti BJ from happening again, the team leader personally checked the streamers who had completed their recruitment.

He waved his hand, but the employee did not leave. I wondered what was going on, but the employee rolled his eyes and opened his mouth.

“Oh, but I think you should at least check.”

“Okay? Why? Who are you?”

“That’s… … an eclipse.”

“Eclipse?”

The team leader asked with his eyes wide open.

Among the Gunner Ground streamers he knows, there is no one named Eclipse.

However, as someone in charge of marketing, checking community issues was a basic requirement.

“… …Elden Soul’s Eclipse?”

He, as well as the marketing team members, knew who Eclipse was.

“I checked again and it is that Eclipse.”

“No, why Eclipse? A guy who’s only played Prom games for 15 years?”

“So I checked with him, and all I could say was that he was participating because Purple recommended it…”

The staff also seemed bewildered by the situation and trailed off.

The team leader flinched when the name Purple suddenly came out.

'Hmm, I have a bad memory… … '

There was a time when the previous Purple and Data contract almost fell through because they tried to cut costs.

At that time, he was called in by the development director and scolded. That's why Purple didn't remain as a very good memory for him.

'Purple? That guy recruited Eclipse?'

But now things are different than they were then.

'The new game chosen by a streamer who has been digging the same well for 15 years is Gunner Ground?'

Just thinking about it is an issue that deserves attention. This situation that Purple created was a great windfall for him.

The team leader's head was spinning furiously.

“We need to change the way we disclose our schedules.”

"yes?"

“We need to change from a lump-sum announcement to a sequential announcement.”

The team leader suddenly stood up from his seat. The employees looked at him with bewildered expressions.

“A sequential release? Isn’t it true that the casting hasn’t been completed yet?”

“So, we have to do it.”

The team leader answered, straightening his disheveled clothes.

“If you schedule it as a sequential release, there will be a deadline. Then, the streamers who are in charge of the team will also have to pay attention to recruiting.”

You can urge streamers without any regrets and even create community issues before the event.

Until now, it was unknown how effective it would be, but now it's different.

“Get ready, I’ll report to the director right away.”

Liveliness returned to his face, which had been dying.

'Is there really such a thing as a purple coin?'

The team leader laughed as he recalled a meme used in the community.

Lee Kyung-bok's house.

Choi Byung-hoon arrived home first before the Team Perfect meeting.

“What? Why did you come so quickly?”

Lee Kyung-bok couldn't hide his doubts. He knew that this friend wasn't a very diligent person.

“Ana, child. Take this first.”

Choi Byung-hoon held out the box he had brought. It was a box containing monitor head goods.

Lee Kyung-bok burst into laughter at this.

“Oh, right. I forgot about this.”

“For now, leave it in the capsule room. It will be visible when the room is revealed, like in the last capsule unboxing video.”

“Okay, I got it. I’ll leave it after the meeting.”

“And let me ask you just one thing.”

Choi Byeong-hun coughed and handed over three small pieces of paper. Lee Gyeong-bok took them, wondering what they were.

“… … Sweeties autograph session entry ticket?”

It was a ticket to an autograph session enclosed in the album.

Lee Kyung-bok turned his eyes.

What do you want me to do with this?

'This kid, watch your facial expressions.'

Choi Byeong-hun smiled inwardly at that blunt face. He thought that Lee Gyeong-bok was trying to hide his virtue.

Choi Byeong-hun immediately coughed and nodded.

“I see you’re doing it on a day off. I’ve always wanted to go, but I think you might get picked if you apply. Please share some good energy with me.”

“No, I told you it has nothing to do with this.”

Lee Kyung-bok waved his hand.

His magic didn't work that way.

“Oh, if you don’t mind, just do it. It’s not a difficult request. Okay? Just write it down quickly.”

But even so, Choi Byeong-hun kept asking. Lee Gyeong-bok was rather puzzled by this.

'Was this kid originally a Sweeties fan?'

Just like Choi Byeong-hun, Lee Gyeong-bok also had similar thoughts.

'Last time I saw you, you said all you did was watch Netflix at home. Now that you've decided to go out, I guess I should help you.'

He let out a short sigh as if he had no choice and filled out the application form.

“Don’t complain even if you don’t get picked?”

“Never.”

"ruler."

“Okay! Thank you!”

Choi Byeong-hun smiled as he picked up the entry ticket.

“Is something good happening?”

At that moment, the two people flinched at the sound of the voice and turned their eyes. Park Joo-ho, who had come in before they knew it, was looking at them.

Choi Byeong-hun and Lee Gyeong-bok looked at each other at the same time.

'I don't want to get caught since I'm a secret fan, right? I'd rather keep it to myself.'

'You don't want to tell Joo-ho? Well, he might nag you again.'

Two people who found common ground despite each other's misunderstandings.

They quickly waved their hands and answered.

“No, it’s nothing.”

“Uh, uh. We were talking about where to put these goods.”

Lee Kyung-bok pointed to the box to divert attention. Only then did Park Joo-ho check the box and look inside.

“It’s all there.”

“Everything is there, then.”

Soon, Park Joo-ho took out the Sweeties album and opened it. And then his eyes widened.

“Choi Byeong-hun.”

"why?"

“I thought there was a ticket for the autograph session inside the album, but why isn’t it there?”

At his gaze, Choi Byeong-hun quickly rolled his eyes.

“You didn’t sell it, did you?”

“No, why are you selling it?”

"then?"

“I threw it away while I was cleaning yesterday.”

“You threw it away?”

“I accidentally spilled the box.”

Park Joo-ho looked at him for a moment and then sighed.

“If that’s the case, then that’s good.”

“Hey, we’re not that poor, so why would we sell it?”

“… … It’s better not to do anything that will be a cause for gossip later.”

As Park Joo-ho said that and went to take off his coat, the remaining two looked at each other in relief.

Because of that, we became more confident in each other's delusions, but anyway.

“GGG contacted me.”

As soon as the meeting started, Park Joo-ho opened his mouth.

“We changed the schedule disclosure method to sequential disclosure. The team leader and first member of each team will be revealed today. We will reveal Genome and Kyungbok.”

“Oh? So it’s not confidential anymore?”

“It will be released before the broadcast time, so it won’t matter during the broadcast time.”

Choi Byeong-hun laughed at this.

“That’s perfect. As soon as the event is announced, attention will go up and viewers will flock in. It’s so great, right?”

“Then the viewers will all want that too.”

Lee Kyung-bok also welcomed this fact.

“I was trying to pick a game to play briefly before the event, but I guess I can just play this for a while.”

“There has been an issue in the community recently about the return of Geog. There have also been many requests for Geog to be added to the Teen Night fan page.”

Park Joo-ho, who has been monitoring community trends, also agreed.

“But unfortunately, it is impossible to merge with Ikle-nim. If we merge at the time the event is announced, it will be a spoiler.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it. We have no choice but to practice separately.”

“Hey, Mr. Ikle, you know how to do it, don’t you?”

Choi Byeong-hun smiled as if it was nothing. There was something else they should be interested in.

“The last member hasn’t been decided yet?”

“Oh, it looks like hyung is still recruiting.”

“I wonder who it will be.”

Who will be the last team member to participate in this event?

“I hope he’s a fun person.”

Lee Kyung-bok smiled as he looked forward to the upcoming event.

That evening.

The dorm of girl group Sweeties.

Yoon Na-ra was in the capsule.

The game she plays is none other than Escapers.

<You have safely left the space colony. New planets and new life await you. But you probably don't want to go out into space again.>

[You Are Escaper!]

I cleared the newly updated theme this time. And I got first place in competitive mode.

Even this was already the 7th time he had won first place.

But Yun Na-ra was not satisfied.

“… … How on earth did you do that?”

It was not enough compared to the ability Purple showed in the Q-Tube video. I couldn't apply for the event because of my schedule, but even if I had applied, I would have definitely lost.

Although her skills were decent, she knew best that she could not surpass Purple.

'again……!'

Still, I didn't give up.

It was when she was burning with competition and trying to get matched again.

[>20 minutes before broadcast!]

A message from outside, not an in-game message. It was a call from the Sweeties manager.

'Is it that time already?'

She left the game with regret behind her. Soon, she returned to reality, opened the capsule, and came out.

Soon, a knock was heard along with a voice.

“Sister! Did you see the message?”

“Oh, I’m out. Don’t worry.”

After a while, the door opened slightly and a member's face came in.

“You were in a capsule again?”

"huh."

“Umm… … I think I need to touch up my hair?”

“Really? I think I’m okay?”

Yoon Na-ra looked back at the mirror and said. Her hair was a little messy from lying in the capsule, but there didn't seem to be any major flaws.

“Well, if it’s your sister’s face, then what does it matter? She really is beautiful.”

“It’s not even Paewan-eol, what is Hewan-eol?”

“Oh? So you admit that you’re a Pawan-eol?”

"what."

Yoon Na-ra burst into laughter at the members' antics.

“I said that the perfection of hair is the face. First, put on your clothes and come out. I’ll tell the teacher.”

“Yeah, thanks.”

“Your sister told you to pick it well with your golden hands. You know that?”

She smiled back as the member playfully laughed and disappeared.

“I just pick whatever I feel like, so what kind of golden hand is that?”

The next broadcast will be the autograph session ticket raffle.

Sweeties broadcasted the raffle live to ensure fairness.

She calmed herself down as she changed into her costume.

'There will always be a chance to face Purple.'

Not many people know that Sweeties' leader, Yoon Na-ra, is a famous sniper in the personal broadcasting world named 'Newton'.

She knew how to distinguish between the two so thoroughly.

'Let me be true to my duty.'

She looked in the mirror and smiled brightly.

Now was the time to show the fans what they wanted.
