Episode 144 – Strategy (Im)possible (4)
pride.
This refers to a feeling of pride in oneself.
But sometimes the category of 'oneself' changes because it extends beyond oneself to the group to which one belongs.
The pride that viewers felt while watching the broadcast was of that kind.
-How on earth do you grow up to be so good at that?
-Really ㅋㅋ We went through the same curriculum, so why are the results so different?
-Talent. Talent. Difference.
-Ah haha just be thankful that Godple was born in Korea
-Fortunately, foreign capital erosion was prevented.
-Oh lol. Come to think of it, our country has the highest compensation.
-Oh lol the dollar is second and the yen is last lol
-I still don't have faith, so I don't have faith.
They expressed satisfaction just by being among those who first recognized Lee Kyung-bok.
Lee Kyung-bok, the person involved, found the reaction cute, but he couldn't continue to enjoy it.
“Okay, let’s focus again. The mission end message hasn’t come out yet.”
At those words, the viewers turned their attention like obedient students.
-Focus ON!
-Dog gum! Have you prepared the cutscene?
-This is a test build, did you expect it to win?
-I made it so I guess he gave me the quest, lol
-No matter what, I don't think you would have thought you would win like this.
It was a boss that was officially declared impossible to conquer. I wonder if the developers had prepared a progression after victory.
Lee Kyung-bok replayed the paused game.
“Oh, there’s a cutscene.”
After losing control, the boss's corpse in the cutscene that followed was surprisingly found in the exact same way that Lee Kyung-bok had handled it.
-Oh lol It's impossible but I made it anyway
-Oh? The situation is still the same?
-Okay haha you've improved a bit
-Have you come to your senses after experiencing Bark?
-???: There was no rocket launcher? There was.
-Ah haha I was really immersed back then
– Praise your learning ability!
Viewers laughed and recalled the incident from the Biocrisis broadcast.
Meanwhile, Durante walked on. The vines that had formed the giant tree were dried, twisted, and hanging down.
The inside was split open like a blooming flower, and inside was a heart that had turned into a clot of blood.
Durante put his hand inside. Despite the sticky blood, he took something out without hesitation.
-?
-What is that?
-Is it something like a jewel?
-Why is there a jewel in the heart;;;
-It's a bit round, and it looks like jade.
-Ah, haha, I see. It seems like he was trying to sell jade plates by using parasites.
-Why did the jade plate suddenly appear? ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ
-Multi-level what? Lol
Viewers were curious about its identity.
-Isn't this something you haven't seen in the console version?
-It seems like a new setting was added with the reboot?
-Anyway, it's something important!
-If you think about the container, everything that appears in the cutscene is important.
And it was the same with the Old Bees.
“Lord Durante!”
“Are you okay?!”
A familiar voice is heard then.
When Durante turned his gaze, Beatrice and Charon were there.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Memory, what happened to the memory chip!?”
The viewers immediately responded to the question that came up at the same time.
-I saw you taking care of the memory chips first, lol
-The mad scientist concept is definitely there lol
-On the other hand, the saintly fairy is a fairy!
-Aren't you a real fairy?
-Oh lol, that's okay
Instead of answering, Durante took out a memory chip. When Caron smiled delightedly, he lightly flicked the memory chip with his thumb.
“Huh? Hey hey! No!”
As the memory chip flew into the air, Charon ran to it in thought. He barely managed to throw himself to catch it.

“Keuhk… … If you throw it like that… … ”
As he spoke, laughter spread throughout the chat window.
-Wow! This is Durante!
-No;;; What are you going to do if the memory chip breaks?
-No, only men worry
-Really ㅋㅋ If Durante is the best man, he calculates everything and throws it away.
-The best man, okay lol
-What is the best upgrade from a real man? Lol
Durante lightly ignored Charon's complaints and turned to Beatrice.
“On behalf of everyone, I would like to thank you. Thanks to you, we were able to save countless lives.”
She bowed her head politely and expressed her gratitude.
“As the mother body collapsed, all other parasites died as well. With this… … I hope the knights have found peace.”
Although she pretended to be calm, her lips trembled. Was she trying to hide her agitation?
She took a short breath and her expression changed.
“This incident has made me more confident in my judgment.”
"assurance?"
Durante's brow furrowed.
“Yes. I was listening to Branch Manager Caron’s broadcast. You could have just left, but why didn’t you step forward?”
She concluded with a faint smile.
“I guess you are closer to a human.”
He felt warmth in the gaze directed at Durante. The positive energy that Lee Kyung-bok's intuition detected became even stronger.
-Ugh! This is it lol
-Isn't it too much of a joke that the heroine trusts the main character?
-5252, How high can the stack go? LOL!
-No lol but actually I did it because of the quest
-Oh lol. Now you're even deceiving NPCs!
-Don't be fooled, Saint Nuna! It's all for money!
-Ah haha, it's true that liking money is a human thing.
The satisfied viewers did not miss teasing Lee Kyung-bok.
While Lee Kyung-bok lightly laughed it off, Durante let out a sneer.
“I just hunted the devil because he was right in front of me.”
Beatrice's gaze did not change despite his dismissal.
“That too is you, not the devil.”
It was at that moment that Durante was about to say something again in response.
“Huh? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
A scream-like voice suddenly interrupted. When the two turned around, they saw Charon, who had shrugged his shoulders, with his mouth wide open as if his jaw had fallen off.
-No;;; The atmosphere was good but you're interfering with this
-You don't know Kkilkkipappa?
-What the hell lol What is the abbreviation for Paleozoic Era lol
-Since I don't know when it will fall out, isn't it possible that the hair roots fell out early?
-omg
-Yikesㅋㅋㅋ This is really badㅋㅋㅋ
-Don't listen to my bullshit, you're not at fault!
Fortunately, Caron couldn't see the chat. He quickly raised his hand and pointed at Durante.
“That, that! That! Where did that come from!?”
The fingers pointed straight at the jewel in Durante's hand.
Despite such a strong reaction, Durante had an indifferent expression. He gestured to his burst heart with his chin as if he didn't want to bother answering.
-Seeing you reacting like this, there really is something lol
-It was a boss that was already impossible to conquer, so shouldn't it be special?
-Is something big coming? Is something big coming?
Charon swallowed dry saliva and rolled his eyes.
“This shape, this color, and even this texture… … I’m sure I’ve seen it in the data? Ah! The ‘Demon Heart’ that high-ranking demons possess, yes! That’s it!”
He muttered, his breathing ragged, and then suddenly raised his head.
“Durante! Please, please, can you not leave it to me? If I study it, what kind of discoveries can I make… …”
“You don’t know moderation.”
The rapid flow of words stopped at Durante's cynical remark.
He glanced back at Beatrice and said.
“You said we should cooperate with each other, but all I heard here was one-sided demands?”
"that……!"
“Oh, no! I will definitely compensate you! Just tell me anything! Just give it to me… …!”
Before she could answer, Charon extended his hand and asked.
At this, Durante snorted and flicked the jewel away, catching it with his gauntlet.
“Keep your promise first… … Hmm?”
In an instant, Durante's eyes sharpened. The gauntlet and the Celestial Cube began to vibrate and hum.
At this, the other two people also turned their gaze in that direction.
-What is it? Why are you suddenly like this?
-It looks like the cube is absorbing it?
-Hahaha, something big is coming!
-5252, you really prepared for the topic of dog gum!
The viewers were equally interested. The gauntlet began to transform in an instant and soon turned into a thorn whip.
“What is this?”
“Oh, what happened? Branch Manager Caron?”
The only one who could know the answer was Charon. He opened his mouth as he looked at the transformed cube as if possessed.
“What the heck is this…? The Celestial Cube and Demon Heart resonate?”
“Is it because of the devil’s blood?”
“No, it’s not! According to the data, this is an undocumented phenomenon! Why on earth would Demon Heart… … ”
Charon's eyes, which had been shaking, flashed and turned around. At the end of his gaze was Durante.
“If there’s one singularity different from the data, it’s you, Durante.”
"what?"
“There has never been a cube that has half-human, half-horse blood! This resonance definitely has your characteristics… … ”
Caron, who had been gradually raising his voice, suddenly stopped. And then fell sideways in that position.
-Huh? Why are you suddenly like that?
-Oh my gosh lol I touched a thorn and got stabbed lol
-Does this whip seem to reflect the boss's characteristics?
-No way lol what is it lol
It was an accident that happened while he was whipping himself in a daze. Beatrice looked at him in surprise.
“Branch Manager!? Are you okay!?”
Durante, on the other hand, looked down at him and sighed.
Soon the screen went dark.
-Hahaha this is a continuation of the console version system hahaha
-Originally, when you cleared the boss, you were given a weapon with a similar concept to the boss.
-ㅇㅇ It seems to have been reflected similarly
-Is this a tradition of Demerk?
The old bees quickly figured out the situation. In the meantime, the dark screen brightened and the location changed.
“Ah, it’s the lab again.”
This was the room where I first met Caron.
As if some time had passed, Charon was moving again.
“Ugh, one of my eyes still isn’t closed. I should make a note of the duration of the paralysis.”
However, it seems that the paralysis has not yet fully subsided, as he starts to wink every time he blinks.
At that sight, 'ㅋㅋㅋ' kept popping up in the chat window.
“Ahem, then I will explain the information you want, Lord Durante.”
But the viewers' attention was focused on the following words.
“We, the Divine Agency and the Order, have been researching ways to track the formation points of Hellgates in advance in preparation for a demonic invasion.”
Various data screens were projected as holograms according to Charon's gestures.
There were not only the single flaming orb guarded by the gargoyle, but also some that radiated cold like dry ice, some that flowed like mud, and some that swirled like ink.
“But the cause was far from the knowledge of mankind. So there were no notable achievements. So far, the best we could do was to track the special waves that occurred when the Hellgate opened and determine its location… … ”
“Just the main point.”
As the explanation became longer, Durante spoke in a low voice.
Charon swallowed dryly and manipulated the device again. With that, the hologram changed and a new data screen appeared.
-Why a desert all of a sudden?
-Why is there a city in the desert?
-Is it based on Las Vegas?
-It was a total flop?
The sight of a barren desert and a ruined city on top of it. Durante's expression hardened at the sight.
Beatrice, who was next to him, glanced at him.
“Where the Demon Invasion Begins”
Meanwhile, Caron continued his explanation.
“Now called ‘Rusty Symmetry’, the city has been experiencing unprecedentedly strong waves underground. And they’re only getting stronger.”
“Considering the security level, this is something that is treated as top secret even within the church. It is probably because of the confusion that would arise if this fact were to become known.”
Beatrice added cautiously.
“Judging by the scale and intensity of the waves, it is similar to the first invasion. Perhaps a large-scale gate directly connecting to Hell will open like that time… … but I can’t say for sure.”
Caron wrinkled his nose and crossed his arms.
“There were quite a few variables at the time. The demons poured out enough to destroy a city, but there was no further damage. The survivors’ eyewitness accounts were limited, so we couldn’t know the details. There’s a possibility that it will happen again this time… …”
“No, this time it will be different.”
Durante stood up abruptly and declared. The two people's eyes widened in response.
"yes?"
“What is that… … ”
Regardless, Durante immediately turned around.
“Wait a minute, where are you going!?”
Beatrice followed him in surprise, but Durante's steps did not stop.
“You’re going alone, aren’t you!? Cooperate with us… …!”
Beatrice's voice fades away.
Suddenly left alone, Caron blinked with a bewildered expression.
Still only one eye.
-Ah haha I'm done with business so I'm going
-As expected, he's the best man ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-So next up is fighting the demon army over there?
-Oh… …I think the scale will be a bit bigger this time?
Viewers thought that was the end of the cutscene.
“Different? Different? How do you know that?”
But immediately a question mark appeared in the chat window at the sound of a voice.
On the screen, Caron was spinning around and muttering with a serious expression.
“Durante is not a man to lie. He has no reason to. If so, there must be another reason… … ”
The steps stopped abruptly with a voice. Then, the head slowly rose.
His pupils were dilated greatly, as if he was shocked.
“Could it be that the reason the demon invasion suddenly stopped during the first invasion… …”
His mouth opened slowly.
Now that the paralysis has finally lifted, both of his eyes are blinking.
“Durante, he was there.”
The screen zoomed in as if it was sucked into his magnificent eyes.
Then, a neon sign appeared above the darkened screen in an instant.
[Mission 2. ‘Half Human/Half Demon’ End.]
It was a message announcing the end of the mission.
-Wow lol this really gives me goosebumps
-ㅁㅊ Durante was there during the first invasion?
-Wow lol Durante blocked it all
-What is the dignity of Durante that stopped the demon army? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I really ripped it
-No;;; But why was Durante there!
-Does this have anything to do with Durante going back to Hell?
-Ah haha, seriously, like Bark, please put in a trailer!
-Seriously, isn't it a bit too much to end it here?
-If this is the configuration, wouldn't it be right to release it first?
-Immediately. Release.
-Wow lol I'm really going crazy lol
-The closest thing to a devil was dog gum lol
-A demon company that goes beyond a black company!
The chat room was soon filled with screams. The regret they felt soon turned into a sense of crisis.
-Hyung? Huh… … ? Are you curious too, hyung? Right? You're going to watch the next one, right?
-5252, If I hang on, I'll be cut down?
-The angle of the bell is too sharp!
-Godple's Bangjonggak is the best in the world!
-Now it's time for us to part ways~ See you next time~
Judging from the last broadcast, the end of the mission was like an announcement of the end of the broadcast.
“Well, this time again, there are many interesting stories. This game is expected to have even more exciting futures! Please show lots of interest.”
Lee Kyung-bok finished his comment with a smile.
-(Pervacon)(Pervacon)(Pervacon)
-Is it normal that I'm already losing money?
-to
-For first aid in case of hair loss, please use the fur tube!
-But I mean, I saw an awesome boss fight today.
-Gogun is King Jeong-i lol
-I can't imagine life without Godple broadcasting anymore!
-Ah, lol. What are the scientists doing? Hurry up and develop cloning technology!
-Really ㅋㅋ Is it possible to do a 3-shift Godple broadcast?
-Then we'll probably die young without being able to sleep even a wink of sleep. Lol
Lee Kyung-bok smiled even brighter. It was because he could see the affection he had for him even in the jokes that filled the chat window.
“Thank you for watching today’s broadcast. Please look forward to the next broadcast, Demerk, which makes you even more curious! Tva!”
* * *
Late at night, when everyone has finished work and returned home.
The virtual reality conference room of developer CAP Company was packed with people.
He wasn't a regular employee either.
It wasn't just Korean distributors, but also executives from North American distributors and the Japanese headquarters.
“Thank you all for coming together despite your busy schedules.”
The head office executive broke the silence and bowed his head.
“I requested this meeting rather hastily, but I think you all understand why.”
At those words, all the executives looked at each other and nodded. Soon, their gaze turned to the Korean distribution company executives.
“The effect of this experiential broadcast is… … ”
The head office executive paused for a moment and frowned. It was easy to see concern in his expression.
Soon he let out a short breath and continued speaking.
“It’s so much better than I expected.”
The fact that the experience broadcast received a bigger response than expected was very gratifying, but it was also a concern from a company management perspective.
“This was clearly a misjudgment on the part of our headquarters. First of all, I would like to apologize.”
“No. I didn’t expect it to get such a good response in North America.”
“Isn’t the important thing to figure out how to make the most of this opportunity?”
The executives added their opinions one by one and agreed. The head office executive then opened his mouth with a much more relaxed mind.
“I’m glad that everyone seems to have the same sentiment. Thanks to this, we can conduct the meeting more comfortably.”
Those words brought smiles to the executives' lips.
They all have great business sense.
“Streamer Purple, let’s discuss the additional promotional contract you can offer him.”
I couldn't allow this golden opportunity to end like this.
