NOTICE: Many of the novels have been removed because they might cause violations, which we were not aware of earlier.
Episode 125 – This is viral (2)
GGG YouTube channel.
Following the announcement video for this large-scale update, a making-of film video has been uploaded.
But strangely enough, the video was set to premiere, its first public release.
-No;; Why are you just releasing the update details and releasing the making film for the first time?
-Didn't the channel manager make a mistake?
-This isn't an invincible ticket lol It's something like King Kong lol
-What the f*ck, what the heck did you make?
Naturally, the chat room was filled with complaints. Nevertheless, the number of people waiting quickly grew.
There is one reason for this.
-The hostage is too strong to just ignore.
-GGG s*uts are really good at using purple coins lol
-Was the story from the companion true?
-But it's a company so it can't be fishing, right? Hahaha
This was because the Perfect Play channel's logo was blatantly displayed on the video thumbnail.
The video has finally started after a long wait.
“Hello! Gunner Grounders around the world, this is Developer C!”
The screen brightened with the cheerful narration of the GGG development director. However, the atmosphere in the chat window was not so cheerful.
-The weights are coming quickly.
-Ah haha, clean everything up and show me Purple quickly
-Yeah~ Did you mess with the weight again and ruin the balance?
-Why is he still the head of the development department? Did he catch the representative's weakness?
The nickname 'weight' was given to the head of the development department because his last name was 'Chu'. It was also given because the balance would tip over if you touched it.
But since it wasn't a live broadcast, no matter how much criticism poured in, his voice in the video didn't change.
“You may have seen the detailed update details in a separate video. Unlike previous updates, this update was a new challenge for us as well. To commemorate this, we created a making-of film!”
The screen that switched with the comment showed the core of this update, the Killeroid.
“Killeroid, Gunner, is a powerful enemy. In the original plan, we were going to ask for cooperation from those above Master level. We were going to collect various data and apply it.”
-Master rank or higher?
-The balance was towards Andromeda from the planning stage, lol
-It's an event mode, but newbies can't enjoy it lol
-The weight is so heavy lol
The atmosphere in the chat room was still not good. However, the following narration changed the atmosphere.
“But that plan was completely scrapped. It was probably due to the appearance of one person who everyone knows.”
Dark screen.
But the chat window was already guessing who would come out next.
-?
-no way?
-That wasn't a flyer?
-Isn't that the ramblings of a retiree?
-Wow lol this is so weird
-The big one is here!
A new screen appeared that seemed to meet those expectations.
Inside was Streamer Purple.
“Perfect Play, as the name suggests, is someone who showed an incredible performance.”
Past videos of Purple's activities were edited and played like teaser advertisements.
It was a video that only collected highlights, starting from the first game, to OTP, and the duo with Genome.
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow lol It's still awesome even when I look at it again
-Ah haha this is Yeopo
-I still haven't succeeded in setting that grenade pin.
-Your driving skills are really crazy
-Of course I do, I'm a zero-back bus driver!
-You can see that the source is Purple Qtube, just like a grain of rice. ㅋㅋㅋ
The chat room was soon filled with admiration. And they weren't the only ones.
“Isn’t this amazing? I felt a thrill the moment I saw it. It’s a kind of destiny, you could say? Where could you find data more suitable for creating a killeroid?!”
-The weights are amazing lol
-The tension is completely different?
-If you're a real person, you can't help but be surprised lol
-I'm also a current developer and I agree with that lol. If our company was just a little bigger, I would have bought it right away.
-Purple is really cool lol
The hostile atmosphere in the chat room also eased a little with that comment. No one would feel bad about praising someone they like.
“I couldn’t miss this opportunity. I made up my mind that I had to hire Purple even if it meant completely changing my schedule. And thankfully, Purple readily agreed to cooperate!”
Then the screen changed again.
[First internal test]
The game proceeded with the subtitles below.
“We conducted tests against killeroids created based on Purple’s data. We formed teams of 10 to 20 people and attacked different killeroids.”

The battle unfolded on split screens with descriptions, with gunfire, explosions, and flashes of light and plasma amidst thick smoke.
“All of our staff members love Gunner Grounds. Among them, we were a tester composed of at least Platinum level or higher.”
-It seems like you're definitely good at it?
-Yeah, your shooting skills are good and your combos are clean.
-Of course lol I'll just do that when I get to work
-Isn't it strange that you can't do it right?
The viewers also acknowledged their skills.
But the results were different.
“But no one survived.”
In the split screen, the Killeroids were still alive and well. They were easily slaughtering the testers.
None of the testers had ever defeated the Killeroid.
-?
-Nobody won?
-No;;; Are you saying that even you can't break it?
-How dare you update it?
-Why is everyone so angry? ㅋㅋㅋ It says 1st round, lol
-Really lol It's not even the final and you're already mad
The narration continued before public opinion began to gain ground again.
“The Killeroid you just saw is a prototype that reflects 100% of the data. It’s much more powerful than expected.”
-It was 100% purple data?
-Ah, then the one who can't win is the eldest
-Really lol If I had won it would have been a bug
-They got beat up badly in the first round and the difficulty level was lowered ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The viewers immediately understood the situation.
After the first test was over, a large triangular graph appeared along with the image of the Killeroid.
[Body Control]
[Color ability]
[Reaction time]
Items appearing at the vertices of a triangle.
And the graph was filled to the limit.
Viewers could easily understand what it meant.
-ㅁㅊ Is that purple data?
-Wow lol At first I thought it wasn't marked
-Did you just max out your abilities?
-No lol. Were you at max level from the start? lol
-Ah, that's the perfect stat (nods)
As the chat window grew more and more surprised, the graph shrank and the narration continued.
“In order to adjust the difficulty, we reflected it at 60% of the existing data in the second test.”
[2nd internal test]
The second test scene that appeared with him.
The battle pattern was similar, but this time the testers didn't die easily.
-Wow, it's 60%, but it's that hard?
-It's Kingjik, so it can last that long ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Anything below that level is a horrible death.
-It's still so hard lol
Of course, the strategy didn't get any easier, so the number of deaths increased over time.
However, unlike the first time, it was not impossible to conquer.
“For the first time, the testers have won. And as a result, they have obtained a future weapon. Although the number of people has decreased, the probability of victory has increased.”
The battle screen disappeared and a probability table appeared. It was a summary of the results of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th tests.
“As you can see, unlike the beginning, the survival rate increases as time goes on. This is because they are gradually adapting to dealing with the Killeroid.”
-Well, the first time you meet someone is the hardest.
-That's why Smerdle died right away in the event match ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-If you encounter Purple even at 60%, it's obvious you'll dieㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-But another thing that cannot be ignored is that the machine body is carrying a future weapon.
-If we had just cooperated better, we could have won, right?
-Oh lol then is it possible to win against 60% purple?
-Just looking at this, it looks like a challenge each is coming out ㅋㅋㅋ
Understanding the situation through objective data, and even the value of the character called 'Purple'.
Viewers were more focused on the 'feeling' of victory over Purple than the balance of this update.
But the making film isn't finished yet.
“But I felt a little disappointed here. I was finally able to utilize the data that Purple-nim provided, but I could only use 60% of it?”
The one who appeared on the changed screen was the final boss, the Annihilator.
And next to it, the triangle graph that had been shrinking has once again reached its limit.
“That’s why I designed the Annihilator before the event match. I made it based on 100% of the data. I wondered if I could make a character that was even more powerful than the original Purple.”
-100% reflection? What on earth are you thinking!?
-You're touching something weird again.
-The weight was definitely a weight lol
-No;;; How can Kingban people catch full power purple;;
-Is balance a joke? Is it a joke?
The atmosphere in the chat window changed completely.
Did he expect this too?
“However, its power has already been proven in the first test. Therefore, the Annihilator has been designed to respond actively only when all survivors have acquired future weapons. Before that, it remains stationary unless approached.”
An in-house test scene was shown with an explanation. There were about 20 survivors, and among them, 4 were holding future weapons.
-Surprisingly, you were thinking
-Oh… … Would it be worth a try with this many people?
– 4 future weapons for 20 people with Platinum or higher? This has the potential to be a king, lol
-I don't think it'll work if it's really purple, but I think I can catch it if it's a tin can lol
As viewers expected, the test situation changed in an instant.
The Annihilator began to slaughter the approaching survivors. Its physical strength was so overwhelming that any response was rendered useless.
-Ah haha I almost said~
-Even if it was a tin can, it was still purple, right?
-I'm so tired, I'm so tired lol
-But since he's salty, he still gets shot.
-But it's a machine haha lol ㅈㅅ;;
-Honestly, with general firearms, it's just enough to draw aggro ㅋㅋㅋ
-Why are future weapons testers so bad at fitting in?
-How do you fit it to move like that?
Although it was such a desperate situation, there was still hope. With the sacrifice of his teammates, the railgun-wielding gunner managed to snipe him while holding him back.
-oh!
-You guessed it!
-Crazy lol. I managed to catch it somehow.
-Isn't the difficulty level crazy?
It was expected that the survivors would win, but the Annihilator did not lose easily.
It fired at the building containing the railgun gunner with its ion cannon before its function ceased.
-Wow lol
-You didn't react before you died?
-Hey, lol, isn't that too much?
-You're saying this is a draw?
-It seems like the concept of defeat has also been transplanted?
-Even if it was a tin can purple, it was still purple ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Viewers were left stunned when the result, a draw, appeared on the screen.
“I thought seriously about this result. Is there no way to utilize it 100%? Should I nerf it? I postponed the decision for a while. There is still the event match, the stage where the original Purple will participate!”
The screen that changed then showed the Purge Day team in action during the event match.
“Viewers of this video will already know the results.”
-Fuzzyday does the hard stuff!
-King Jikji Annihilator can only catch Purple ㅋㅋㅋ
-Purple’s opponent is only Purple…!
-Still, if it's around 60%, Newnunna and Eclipse can catch it.
-Ah haha, it's the same purge day, why can't I catch that guy!
-You can't catch it because of its ugliness
-You're really badㅋㅋㅋ
-So you're saying the difficulty level will be lowered? Or not?
-Shouldn't this be lowered?
-I wonder how I can beat the Killeroid, but the Annihilator is a bit;;
-The King Ban people can never break it!
-Still, don't you want to stick with it 100%?
-Really lol How can a normal person bring out 100% of Godple's ability?
The chat window was filled with conflicting opinions.
In the meantime, the screen slowly darkened, and there was no narration after that.
I thought the video would end with the event continuing without any downgrades.
“Hello, Gunners!”
A familiar voice was heard in the dark screen.
The screen finally brightens.
“I’m Purple, a streamer who broadcasts on Try.”
Lee Kyung-bok greeted the camera with a bright smile.
-Why are you here, hyung?
-Phew! Phew!
-Hahaha, did the main character really come out?
-You finally released the hostage lol
-You put the channel logo on it, but you have to show the face!
-I almost said that the company is no different from Cyber Wrecker^^
As if nothing had been confusing, the chat window was unified with interest in Purple.
“I wonder if everyone enjoyed the event match. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the GGG staff for allowing us to have this last, special event.”
Lee Kyung-bok bowed his head slightly.
-Oh? I guess this was taken after the match.
-I don't know lol If it's a god player, they might have taken it for granted and taken 1st place
-Oh lol, is this Kingly God's heart?
-No matter what, I guess that's how it is lol
-Ah, the answer is in the subtitles below lol
-I'm grateful that you allowed me to interview you after the competition.
-Oh, that's right lol It looks like they filmed it right after winning
While the viewers were trying to guess the timing of the filming, Lee Kyung-bok continued speaking.
“As you saw in the making film, the Killeroid that was updated this time was created based on my data. This is my first time experiencing something like this, so it’s exciting, but it was really fun that I was invited to the event match.”
With those words, a question appeared as a subtitle.
[Q1. How was the event match?]
Lee Kyung-bok answered with an awkward smile.
“Those who watch my broadcast know that this is my first time with a 4-person squad. It was even more fun because I was with such great people.”
The chat window was abuzz at those words.
– Is this your first time with a 4-person squad?
-Ah… … Really? You’ve only ever played a duo with Genie, right?
-Huh? That's right! Why didn't I think of that?
-It's so awesome that I can't believe it because it's my first time, lol
-Wow lol now I understand what a goddamn battle is
-Really ㅋㅋ Since it's my first time with a squad, I'm thinking of a strategy to defeat the gods again
-Squad Competition Winner (First Squad
-Purple is purple, what's the problem?
While the viewers were amazed by the new revelation, the next question came back.
[Q2. How was it to deal with the Killeroid?]
At this, Lee Gyeong-bok burst into laughter.
“Um… … To be honest, I had high expectations. The character was created based on my data, right? But I don’t know if I should say this, but my disappointment was as great as my expectations.”
Question marks appeared in the chat window. Lee Kyung-bok wrinkled his nose as if he had read the question.
“It was much easier to conquer than I thought. I thought, was this all I could do? But later, when I heard that only 60% of it was reflected, I understood.”
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I was barely a king lol
-Ah haha, it's disappointing when you look at it with purple eyes
-I never thought that only Fergie would appear in the making film!
-Crisis Escape Purple One! You can't let your guard down even for a moment!
-Escape from crisis, okay lol
-Are you sure that the loss will be compensated?
While the chat window was content with that statement, a third question was asked.
[Q3. How was the future weapon?]
At that question, Lee Kyung-bok scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.
“I didn’t use it because I didn’t need it, but if I had known there would be questions like this, I would have used it. Oh, but I have used the laser sword and the railgun! I think the laser sword in particular is a weapon that every man should hold at least once.”
-Laser sword is king lol
-If you grew up watching beam sabers, you'll immediately agree ㅋㅋ
-What are you talking about lol? Isn't a lightsaber a light saber?
-If you're Korean, you should think of Tropos's Psionic Blade.
-The old men are excited ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Go! You old man! Mobile suits, Stella Wars, and Craft Star are basic knowledge!
The final question was asked as the chat window poured out lightsabers that had appeared in other media.
[Q4. How was the fight against the final boss, the Annihilator?]
Lee Kyung-bok lightly clapped his hands in response to the question.
“That was the part that really impressed me the most. I was surprised because he was similar in size to me and his behavior was similar to mine.”
-Oh, right, lol. Our physiques are kind of similar.
-It was made similarly to utilize 100% of the data.
-Weight loss lol In places like this, there's more detail
-Just balance it out! What should I do?
But Lee Gyeong-bok soon furrowed his brows.
“But I couldn’t help but feel that my skills were lacking. I wondered why that was the case, even though it was clearly reflected 100%.”
– Are you saying the can and the original are the same? Lol
-This is why I hate deus ex machina
-Suddenly a machine god?
-Ah haha if it's a machine that replicates Godple, then the machine god is the best
The chat window simply thought that Lee Kyung-bok won because he was the original. However, the judgment of the person involved was different.
“I think it’s because the contract was signed a long time ago, so there was some data missing. Maybe it’s because it’s an old version of the data, but my skills have deteriorated a lot.”
-?
-Old version?
-Wow… That's right. F*ck, this is really crazy.
-What the heck! You grew up in the meantime!
-No;;; It's already perfect, so why are you growing?
-You're at max level, why are you leveling up? Lol!
-Ah, this is what is called a perfect level-up.
The viewers were shocked and amazed by that statement. But that was only for a moment.
“So I thought about it again, but after all, this is a character that I put my name on, right? I’m worried that you might be disappointed if this continues. For the sake of you Gunners, how about updating it to the latest data?”
-to?
-Update with the latest data?
-You're making it more difficult?
-Please don't judge by celestial standards!
-Anyway, they are geniuses!
Viewers were horrified by the suggestion, and GGG thought so too.
[No, it's okay. That's enough already!]
“Enough? I myself feel that there are some areas where I am lacking… … ”
[The heart that protects Gunner Ground! Everyone who watches this video will know!]
The chat window was filled with laughter at the subtitles that felt urgent.
-GGG Wow!
-Is there anything I can do to ruin the event? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Once the latest version is released, no one will be able to break itㅋㅋㅋ
-Purple is actually trying to help so it's even funnier ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is this pure malice?
-Ah! It's so scary!
"All right."
When GGG strongly refused, Lee Kyung-bok eventually accepted the idea.
“Viewers, please show lots of love for Gunner Ground and enjoy the newly updated ‘Time Warfare’! Then, I will take my leave now!”
The screen went dark with his greeting. Soon, as if the video had really ended, related video recommendations appeared.
Still, viewers did not leave their seats easily.
-Even if it's not live, if Purple comes out, it becomes a legend ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Looking at Purple, I don't remember any of the previous content ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Someone summarize it in 3 lines!
-Killeroid = 60% Purple, Annihilator = Old Purple, Godple = New
-To summarize it neatly
-A capable person lol
– It would be perfect to practice in event mode for the next OTP.
-Really lol I have to clear the old version of Purple first
-If that's the case, shouldn't we catch the killeroid first?
-Isn't this essentially step-by-step practice?
-What is it?
– You must clear in the following order: Player Survival >> Killeroid >> Annihilator >> Purple
-The final boss is purple lol
-Wow lol the challenge was done in no time
-Is this the Killeroid Challenge?
-It looks like Smurfs will definitely challenge this ㅋㅋㅋ
-Anyway, I'm a challenge maker!
It was Lee Kyung-bok who once again created a challenge without even knowing it.
* * *
Game webzine, Metagamer headquarters.
Among them, the influencer team leader and Shin Hye-rim were extremely excited.
“Hey, I’ve been getting requests for cooperation from online game teams all my life.”
“That’s right, Team Leader!”
The two clowns, both of whom were so high up, had no intention of coming down.
“It’s all thanks to Purple!”
“I told you, he is God!”
The team leader playfully laughed and brought up the hologram.
If it were a newspaper, it would be the front page, or the main page of Metagamer.
[Does Killeroid Dream of Perfection?]
This was news about the Gunner Ground update. It was originally under the jurisdiction of the Online Game Team, but this time it was different.
“I never thought that our team would be in the top position!”
From headlines to details, there was no area untouched by the influencer team.
This was because the explanation of the background behind it, Purple, had to be more important than the update details.
“I really feel like the atmosphere has changed these days, because my teammates from other teams are asking if there’s a position for them.”
“Oh, of course. Do you think the resignation rate is as high as before? No, our team’s stock price is hitting the ceiling right now, what!”
“That’s why I said that the team atmosphere is really good right now.”
“Yeah, yeah! Just sit back and relax! And this is still a brain teaser, but I think it would be a good idea to be a little more assertive during the next salary negotiation. That picky HR manager even complimented me, saying he was jealous of me.”
“Really?!”
Reporter Shin Hye-rim couldn't hide her joy when the team leader spoke quietly.
“Okay, you know I have to get my mind straight if I want to keep this atmosphere going, right? Let’s get back to work.”
“Oh, yes yes! But today, a notice of closure was posted.”
Shin Hye-rim was in charge of checking on Lee Kyung-bok's movements. At those words, the team leader rolled his eyes for a moment and then nodded.
“A break? Well, I guess so.”
“Did you know you were going to take a break?”
“No, I found out after watching the making film that came up recently. It was a short interview, so I guess he was okay, but the people around him must have had a hard time until late.”
“People around you?”
“We know this because we’ve met, right? Purple’s manager and editor are no pushovers. Do you think they just left everything up to GGG after the interview was over? They must have checked several times to make sure there weren’t any disadvantages to Purple.”
Shin Hye-rim also understood the situation through that explanation.
“Oh, I see. It’s likely that you stayed up all night until the confirmation came.”
“That’s right. But Purple knows his limits. He wouldn’t have forced the broadcast to take care of himself after all that hard work. This hiatus is probably for the employees to rest.”
The team leader explained it like that and smiled brightly.
“And this break is a perfect opportunity for us.”
“Opportunity?”
“Yes. We have confirmation on this issue!”
Shin Hye-rim was bewildered for a moment, but her eyes soon widened. This was because she realized what he meant by confirmation.
“A V-STAR interview!?”
“Yes! Purple’s recruitment is confirmed! Let’s make an appointment quickly before they take it from somewhere else!”
Korea's largest VR game show.
The opening of 'V-STAR' was approaching.
