Episode 12 – Opening a YouTube Channel
The preview cutscene for Chapter 3 ended. The chat room was abuzz with excitement.
-WA! Undisclosed area!
-Ah haha this is the hidden route!
-This is truly 'perfect'.
-Shubham lol I don't know why there's no one else with 100% achievements.
-Do you have no concept of gum? How can you beat this crazy difficulty level?
-???: You woke up?
The release of a new region meant an expansion of the game's volume. No, strictly speaking, it was a discovery rather than an expansion, since it already existed.
-Wow… …But the soldiers are blockading it?
-Wasn't the existing route just about hitting and hitting with pharmaceutical companies?
-Why is the scale of this suddenly getting bigger?
-I was fighting with the pharmacy and then suddenly a country unit appeared ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-How did you guys keep your mouths shut? ㅋㅋㅋ
In addition, viewers intuitively felt that there was an untold story in Biocrisis.
It is a situation where expectations are bound to rise.
-Ah haha, it's possible to play for a thousand hours.
-Out of that, 900 hours will probably be spent on finding hidden routes lol
-Ordinary people like us have to wait for the modders ㅋㅋㅋ
-I think it would be good if purple mode came out lol
-Are you talking about the one-shot-one-kill mode? Or are you talking about Sandra's dating mode?
-Of course both, f*ck!
Lee Kyung-bok spoke in front of viewers full of hope.
“I’m not sure since it’s my first time, but judging from the chat room atmosphere, it’s clear that this is very good news.”
This is the first time I've felt the number -1 as something so great.
-The world's first is amazing, but the 1st time?
-This is the first time you've done Bark? Seriously?
-The influx is freaking out lol
-Reality is better than fiction, lol
-Hey, isn't this catching Bangjonggak?
The viewers who had been muttering suddenly changed their minds at the indulgence mentioned by someone.
-Go away! How dare you use such a vulgar word!
-Room… …What? Try again.
-Bring me the dogwood!
-Trust me, trust me!
-This is the invincible king, lol
Naturally, not everyone wanted the show to end.
That would be the case, since this was just the real beginning. It was absolutely impossible to stop here.
“Yes, you have a good feeling. That’s all for today’s broadcast.”
And Lee Kyung-bok has done such impossible things.
-Brother? Brother? No, right? Brother? Huh?
-Is spitting with a smiling face your specialty?
-Ah haha was I the only one being serious again?
-You're joking so seriously lol I almost got fooled lol
-Hold your breath until we get going again!
– Are there any streamers who stop making their first public appearances?
-If you indulge yourself, I'll sue you for some crime.
Viewers were quick to comfort and appease Lee Kyung-bok, and even make half-joking threats.
“Thank you so much for watching today’s broadcast. I will be back in the next broadcast.”
But Lee Gyeong-bok was too strong to be swayed by such words.
-Stop! Please stop! If we keep doing this, we'll all die!
-Hehehe, you can't go! Hehehe, you can't go! Hehehe, you can't go!
-Don't leave me! Don't leave me! Don't leave me!
-STAY! STAY! STAY! STAY!
-Keeeeeek! What inhuman indulgence is this!
The viewers tried to catch him somehow, but Lee Kyung-bok smiled brightly and said.
“Tva!”
A popped and broken screen.
Lee Kyung-bok opened the capsule and came out.
'The high-end model is definitely better.'
Just like before entering, Lee Kyung-bok smiled naturally at the clean condition.
At that moment, a whooshing vibration was heard. A call came through Smart Link.
"uh."
<Hey, I'm going to your house.>
It was my friend and editor, Choi Byeong-hun.

“I need to create a YouTube channel.”
As soon as the door opened, Choi Byeong-hun got to the point. His hair was disheveled, showing how urgent it was.
“Qtube?”
Choi Byeong-hun explained the necessity of a YouTube channel to Lee Kyung-bok, who asked back. Lee Kyung-bok did not take his friend's words lightly.
“That’s true. I watched the broadcast today. The title of “First” is quite big.”
“Yeah! That’s right! Hey, I prepared it just for you. Take a look at this.”
Choi Byeong-hun showed the work he had created while monitoring. Lee Gyeong-bok checked the samples he had shown and chose the layout he liked.
“Wow, but when did you prepare all this?”
“Do I feel like a pro now?”
“Is it a little bit?”
“You punk. I have the skills to be an editor.”
Lee Kyung-bok burst out laughing as he watched Choi Byeong-hun acting smug. Choi Byeong-hun spoke with a relieved expression.
“Anyway, thank you. I was wondering what I would do if you rejected me.”
“I’m just trying to make everything work out.”
“Okay then. Oh, this might sound a little weird, but do you have any plans for your next game?”
“Next game?”
Lee Kyung-bok opened his eyes wide. It was only the second day of playing Bio-Crisis, and now there was another game.
“No, this has something to do with the YouTube channel.”
"why?"
“You watch YouTube too, right? Have you heard of the algorithm?”
“Oh, I heard about that.”
Qtube algorithm.
This meant that YouTube would recommend other videos based on viewer data.
“Yes, this is also important. If the channel concept is clear, the algorithm will make good choices.”
“Ah… … I think I’ve heard of it.”
Lee Kyung-bok nodded his head.
It was a YouTuber that I wasn't really interested in, but I had quite a bit of experience watching them thanks to algorithm recommendations.
“Yes. There are various concepts in the game industry. There are veterans who only sell one game, or channels that sell only one genre, especially the horror genre. There are also people who don’t even touch the packaged game side and only play online games.”
"hmm……."
Lee Kyung-bok let out a sigh.
What Choi Byung-hoon cared about was the channel's identity. How would he reveal to the world what kind of streamer Lee Kyung-bok was?
Lee Kyung-bok, who had been thinking for a moment, opened his mouth.
“… … This is what I felt while broadcasting.”
“Uh huh.”
Choi Byung-hoon instinctively felt that it was now his turn to listen.
“Actually, I thought that I just had to be good at games. It wasn’t much different from preparing to become a professional gamer in high school.”
Lee Gyeong-bok's thoughts were like that.
Games were something that had to be done 'well'. However, the broadcast I experienced firsthand was different.
“But that’s not the case. In fact, the content of the game doesn’t really matter. What matters is how much the viewers enjoy it.”
"yes."
“Actually, I don’t think it matters if people find it fun even if I can’t do it. Well, I don’t know for sure because I’ve never done it badly.”
“Wow. What you just said, wasn’t that a bit unlucky?”
“Fact is, Inma. Anyway, the important thing is that people like it, so I like it too. It feels like I’m being loved a lot?”
“That’s the fun of broadcasting.”
“Yeah. But then again, I see the number of viewers increasing. So I’m starting to get a little greedy.”
“It would be strange if it didn’t happen. That’s the kind of person who usually broadcasts.”
“Oh. So that’s why.”
Lee Kyung-bok calmly stated his decision.
“I don’t think it’s necessary to rely on algorithms.”
“Ahem… … .”
“I want to play the game I want to play. If I force myself to maintain the concept, the viewers will know.”
“I know.”
“Yes. Even though it may not seem right to you, the editor, it seems right to me. I can’t compromise on this.”
Lee Kyung-bok said firmly.
If you are happy, the broadcast is fun. And if the broadcast is fun, the viewers are happy too.
It was only a two-day broadcast, but it was the principle of streaming that Lee Kyung-bok realized.
“Ha… … Gyeongbok-ah.”
Choi Byeong-hun shook his head, touching his forehead.
“fu*k, you’re such a jerk.”
"ok?"
“Do you know what people call people like you? They call them Jonggems, comprehensive game streamers.”
Soon, a smile appeared on Choi Byeong-hun's lips.
“The biggest one! A stem cell-like streamer who can advance into any field!”
“… … Why is the analogy a bit strange?”
“Anyway! Why do you look like you’re the kind of person who’s determined to only walk the path to great success? Ha, a genius isn’t a genius for nothing.”
Choi Byung-hoon thought that half-jokingly and half-seriously. In reality, most of the streamers he worked with collapsed the moment they stopped feeling 'fun' while broadcasting.
'There are many streamers who rise to fame, but there are few who last a long time.'
But Lee Kyung-bok already had a set mindset. He was already a mentally strong friend, so it would be difficult to break him down even if you wanted to.
“Well, since we played a package game this time, let’s try playing it with other people next time.”
“Ah, co-op or online games are good. The broadcasting angles are also good.”
Choi Byung-hoon's eyes lit up.
'I don't know if you know what you're saying or if you're just saying it… … .'
It is only natural that Lee Kyung-bok's physique and skills stand out among other gamers.
And if you're lucky, you might get exposure on other streamers' broadcasts.
Moreover, a performance at the level of Lee Kyung-bok would have been able to captivate even the viewers of that show.
It was a direction that was beneficial in many ways.
'Is this some kind of fate?'
Choi Byung-hoon didn't say anything out loud. He changed the subject by lightly clapping his hands.
“Okay. Then I’ll think about the next game in my spare time, and then the next thing I want to talk about is the chat window.”
“Chat?”
“Yeah. When people get entangled, weird people get entangled with them. Yeah? There’s that famous saying. When five people get together, one of them is trash.”
“… … Is that a famous quote?”
“These memes… … No, that’s okay. It’s better to learn them naturally than to learn them by force. Anyway, didn’t you feel it too? Jang Moon-chung came out this time.”
“Oh, that’s right. Those people were a bit strange.”
Lee Kyung-bok nodded his head.
After the subway and elevated highway voting results came out, didn't a serious chat suddenly pop up?
It was a chat that was far from 'fun', although it was buried under the restraint of other viewers.
“Your broadcast is growing faster than you can imagine. Are you saying that there will be more people like that? Of course, if your mentality is good, you will be fine even if those things muddy the waters, but what’s important is the other viewers.”
“What countermeasure is there?”
“For now, I think it would be better to use a chat management bot. It would filter and delete chats that contain excessive profanity or are likely to be spoilers.”
“Oh, is there something like that? Then that’s fine.”
“No, but this is a program so it has its limitations. The standard way is to have a bot and a manager… … .”
“Manager? Hmm… isn’t it a bit too early?”
Choi Byeong-hun also agreed.
Even if it is a growth trend, isn't it only the second day of broadcasting? Of course, if you want to get it, you can get it, but if you try to get it in a hurry, the broadcast could end up falling apart because of the manager.
The manager also had to be someone I could trust and rely on.
“Just know that this is a situation where a manager is needed. I will take care of things outside of the game.”
“Oh, is there anything I don’t have to do?”
“You just have to do well in broadcasting.”
“Ha, I see. Manager… … Wow, I feel like things are getting more and more serious.”
“Okay, okay. Then let’s go check the video now.”
“Okay.”

Late evening.
A time when office workers enjoy a short leisure time after finishing their meal after work.
On Internet communities, reviews of Purple's broadcast were ranked as best.
[(Spoiler alert!) Bark Unreleased Area Discovery (999+)]
[Sandra's 3-stage transformation true story? (887)]
[Is it possible to get a Golden Shotgun 1-t? (817)]
[Logan Shack's real education is really annoying lol (589)]
[(Spoiler Alert) Chapter 2 Boss Battle Highlights (471)]
The articles that were uploaded after the broadcast ended started getting recommendations on the way home from work and rose to the top.
[What on earth does Purple do?]
[I read all the best articles.
Is this a real person?
Where did this person suddenly come from?]
[-People? This guy still hasn't come to his senses.]
[-Really ㅋㅋ I saw a god player and said he was human]
[-This is blasphemy!]
[-Phelllujah! Phelllujah!]
[-Godple gave us a new land!]
[-Lightful! Lightful! Lightful! Lightful!]
In particular, users in the Biocrisis community, whose popularity had waned, deified Purple.
I thought I had squeezed out enough moisture, but it turns out I was only holding on to a corner.
But not only positive comments were posted.
[It's so disgusting that they're cussing out X because they saw Purple's live broadcast]
[I'm writing this because I feel bad after watching Best. These bark beetle babies just swarm around and do nothing but cause trouble and are of no help at all.
Is it a crime to ask a question without knowing the context while watching the clip?
Those motherfu*kers are saying things like, "Is it a show to watch King Shi-bo-gi?", "Ping-pong-shak, come on in", "You didn't watch the live broadcast? You lost half your life?"
Who hasn't seen this, you motherfu*kers?
I asked how many seconds I could start watching, and they started running around in groups and making a fuss.
Do you think I just watch TV shows like you guys, unemployed bastards?
I can tell what kind of kid Purple is without even looking at him because he's sucking my dick.
[I'm quitting because it's dirty, you little bark beetle bastards.]
[-Wow… … This is a prestigious school.]
[-Honestly, there are some people who have nothing to say even if they are called bark beetles]
[-You really did quit, lol]
[-I'm afraid there will be a misunderstanding, but Purple is not that kind of streamer.]
[-Anyway, real jerks show off their charms wherever they go.]
Some viewers who watched the live broadcast displayed a strange sense of superiority in the community.
It was a situation where the antipathy towards them could easily spread to Purple as well.
It was around this time that the community was getting heated.
[Purple Q-Tube is out!]
[A banner appears on the Try channel lol. I'm going to subscribe right away.]
It was news that Purple had opened a YouTube channel.
[-Why is this happening?]
[-Ah lol the loss of PER is now being replenished]
[-Personal loss lol I'm only a 2-day streamer lol]
[-You can't say that if you watch it live. You'll get withdrawal symptoms.]
[-Wow lol there's also a Sandra collection video]
[-Did you hire a separate editor? You fu*king know-it-all.]
[-A hero knows another hero!]
Isn't the Internet faster than a horse without legs? People flocked to YouTube channels in an instant.
There were several videos uploaded by Choi Byung-hoon, but the most popular one was definitely a collection of Sandra's cutscenes.
[-Sandra is so pretty lol]
[-(1:28) and Seowitdra is real]
[-Is this bark? Isn't it just the character source that was left out?]
[-nn This is a fake hidden route]
[- This is a timeline reorganization. Please fix it to the top.
(0:02) Glance at it
(0:51) Will Dr.
(1:21) West Dra
(1:57) Nature drama
(2:17) I'm embarrassed
(2:52) Yasdra
(3:23) Honey Dra
(3:59) Hey Dra
(4:11) Trust Dra]
[This guy is so stupid lol]
People were excited to see Sandra's various appearances that they had never seen before.
And how the rumor spread.
[-What The f…?]
[-Who is this guy? How can he change her?]
[-She never show me that kind of emotion… … ]
[-Holy Shit. She is so beautiful! Can I draw the Fan art? Contact me plz!]
Foreigners also started posting comments. Among them were people I knew and illustrators I knew.
On the other hand, there was a separate video that was most shared externally.
It was a 'pull' video where you can get the golden shotgun in one go. The reason was surprisingly due to factors outside of the video.
[Comment pinned by channel manager.]
[AnatomyQA]
[World Taekwondo Federation? s*xually Amazing!]
[Do you like machine translation?]
[View original text]
[>WTF? Fxcking Awesome!]
It was because of the comment of an overseas streamer who had just done the 40,000 draw, and his comment was translated strangely.
[- Holy crap, really great, really great]
[-Why is Taekwondo suddenly coming up? LOL]
[-Purple is a legend even on YouTube ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-Anatomy Sheep has grown a lot? He can even be stuffed on a tube.]
And so the storm in the teacup began to spill over the teacup.
* * *
The next morning.
Lee Kyung-bok opened his eyes with a tired face and, like any other modern person, first looked for the smart link.
"……what?"
He frowned slightly and checked the piled up messages. They were from Choi Byeong-hun.
[Hey hey! Are you sleeping?]
[sleep?]
[Anyway, a man who lives a good life]
[The channel is not normal right now.]
[Check it out right away]
All of the messages came at 1 AM.
And below that, 3am.
[and……]
[No, look at this yourself.]
[My heart is pounding so hard I can't sleep.]
The last KakaoTalk message ended at almost 4 in the morning.
Lee Kyung-bok tilted his head and clicked on the link his friend had left behind.
Then he confirmed and a YouTube page created by a friend appeared.
“… … What is this?”
Lee Kyung-bok's half-closed eyes slowly opened wide.
[Perfect Play]
[101,000 subscribers]
It hasn't even been a day since the channel was launched, but it already has 100,000 subscribers.
Perhaps because of this, the number of views for the uploaded videos was at least 100,000, and the most popular video, featuring Sandra and the lottery, exceeded 500,000 views.
Only then did Lee Gyeong-bok feel the ‘oddity’ that Choi Byeong-hun had spoken of.
“Silver button… … .”
Lee Kyung-bok, streamer 'Purple'.
He became a Q-YouTuber who achieved Silver qualification in the shortest period of time ever.
