Episode 178 – Purgatory Day Intern Recruitment (1)
Late at night, at a beef restaurant in a busy area.
Three men were seated in a separate room.
“Now, do whatever you want! Whatever you want!”
The oldest among them, Genome, burst into hearty laughter and said:
He finished work a little earlier than usual and prepared for the dinner.
The staff didn't even show up to celebrate the formation of the Purge Day Crew.
It was a seat just for the three members.
“Are you really just ordering me to do it?”
“Oh, I told you to do it?”
“Then I’ll take the vegetable stock.”
“They say that the upjinsal melts in your mouth so slowly. Should we each order five servings?”
Genome flinched at Lee Kyung-bok's words.
“The three of us can eat 10 servings?”
“No, you have to order the part you want to eat separately.”
Genie blinked at those words. Come to think of it, Eclipse and Lee Kyung-bok are both about the same size.
One serving wouldn't even be enough for one person at a restaurant.
“Hey, okay! I’ll eat it with ribs!”
Genome burst into laughter and called over the staff. After finishing his order, Genome raised his voice again.
“Ahem, if it’s okay with you, Mr. Ikle, then let’s talk. We’re like family now.”
“Ahaha, I guess I’ve lived with my grandfather for a long time, so I’m more comfortable with formality. Instead, I hope Genome-nim and Purple-nim will be more comfortable with me.”
“No, but it’s a bit… … if only one side is speaking informally… ”
Genome hesitated for a moment to answer, but Lee Kyung-bok was different.
He said, patting Eclipse on the shoulder.
“Look, this guy is secretly shy. Just speak to him informally just this once.”
“No, what am I being shy about!?”
“Oh, right. Are you a middle-aged man?”
The atmosphere softened as Lee Kyung-bok spoke playfully. Eclipse smiled and nodded.
“Okay, bro.”
“Hey, just relax! I’ll just relax too.”
“Oh? Is there a special for the little people?”
“Why did you become a small-minded person in the meantime?”
While the three sturdy men were chatting away, the food arrived. The bright red meat and clear marbling were eye-catching.
“Oh, we’ll bake it ourselves.”
Originally, there was a service where the staff would grill the meat for you, but Genome personally grabbed the plate of meat and placed it on the grill.
It was because he was proud of himself for grilling meat well, and because he wanted to treat people properly since he was going to do it anyway.
After he had filled his stomach to some extent, Genome began to tell a story.
“I’m sorry if it seems like we’re talking about work, but there’s something I need to talk about.”
“What is it?”
“I know we can all trust each other. But since we’re all grouped together as a crew, we need to have some ‘rules.’”
Genome cleared his throat with a slight cough and spoke with a serious expression.
“As you know, I’ve been broadcasting for quite some time. I’ve witnessed the rise and fall of many crews. There were times when I was just a third party, and there were also times when I was in the middle.”
Genie rolled his eyes and soon shuddered. Lee Kyung-bok nodded at those words.
“Well, I guess it’s good to have rules. Even if we get along well, we might have different standards.”
“Yes, I agree. It’s better to come to an agreement in advance.”
“That’s why I didn’t order alcohol. It’s best to decide on things like this while you’re still sober.”
Eclipse agreed, and the three began to discuss. After talking for a while, they reviewed the rules that had been put in place.
“Okay, what’s the first one? ‘Don’t believe everything a swindler says.’ That’s it.”
Surprisingly, the first rule was about the viewers.
“At first, it was just a joke, but it was distorted and turned into a real fight.”
When you get involved in a crew, members are naturally exempt from the 'no mentioning other streamers' rule.
Accordingly, some viewers jokingly compared themselves to other members or showed each other jokes on their broadcasts as support.
“I found out later that the troublemaker had deliberately created discord.”
However, among them there were some who were genuinely trying to sow discord.
“But how? They’re already causing controversy, their image has been damaged, and they can’t go back to how they used to be, so they’re going through the process of disbanding.”
“Really, I don’t understand why you would do that.”
“As the number of people increases, the proportion of strange people will also increase.”
Genome continued speaking immediately after hearing the two people's answers.
“Yes, so Rule 2 is necessary in connection with Rule 1. ‘If you think there’s a problem, let’s meet face to face.’ It’s good to meet the people involved, but if it’s okay, it’s best to meet with other members.”
The second rule was that if there was a problem between members, they would meet in person.
“If I explain it on air, it could be misunderstood again. Like, it could seem like I’m making excuses.”
“It’s definitely easier to solve problems by meeting in person than by text or phone call.”
“Yeah, that’s actually the good thing about our job. It’s that we have freedom in how we use our time.”
If you were an ordinary office worker, you wouldn't be able to make time because you're busy with work. However, if you're a streamer, you can adjust your schedule, so it's not difficult.
“Then came the annexation.”
“Well, the timing of the merger is flexible, but we plan to merge regularly at least once a month.”

“These are rules for the viewers.”
There was no point in forming a crew if they didn't broadcast together. Also, if the gap between broadcasts became long, there were cases where viewers became anxious that there would be discord among the members.
It was a good decision to do merger shows regularly, not only for the sake of the members but also for the sake of the viewers.
“The best thing to do is to just fix the date, but you can decide on that step by step.”
"All right."
“Next is profit distribution… … ”
Lee Kyung-bok wrinkled his nose slightly.
When working as a crew, there were cases where advertising offers or contracts came to the crew rather than each individual.
However, at this time, it was rare for the company to prepare a contract for each member.
“But wouldn’t it be better to divide it fairly?”
At this point, the members had to decide among themselves how to divide the profits.
There were differing opinions among the members on how to do this. Lee Kyung-bok preferred to calculate it equally by number of people.
“Hey, that’s not it.”
“I also disagree with that opinion.”
The other two didn't think so.
“Kyungbok, what if something comes to us? It has to be that your share is more than half of the total, right?”
“I agree with you. The only fair thing is to get what you deserve.”
From the company's perspective, the biggest merit of recruiting the Purge Day crew was the claim that it was Lee Kyung-bok.
“People’s minds aren’t that strong. If they receive more money than they deserve, you never know what they’ll do. They might even think they’re some great person.”
“I thought the members with the largest stake would give in, but they were upset because they didn’t realize it, and that’s when the problem arose. I’m not saying that Purple-nim is like that, but there’s no reason to take that approach.”
Since the two people who actually benefited were against it, Lee Kyung-bok could not make a stronger argument.
'Rather, in this respect, it is revealed that he is a person worth getting closer to.'
Lee Kyung-bok nodded with a faint smile.
“Then, should we divide the ratio according to the number of subscribers as originally decided?”
"yes."
“Yeah, that sounds good.”
Genie smiled in relief and took out the last rule.
“I’m worried that it might be a bit early to start on the first day. I’m not sure if I’ll show up for this audition, but there might be a streamer I like who I can recruit to my crew.”
“Because I’m a new member… … ”
That was the rule regarding the recruitment of additional members.
“I think I can trust and follow both of your perspectives, but everyone’s standards may be different.”
“That’s right. So, to avoid any problems, the recruitment of new members must be accepted unanimously by the existing members.”
“And before joining, the candidate must agree to all crew rules.”
If even one person is reluctant, it will be rejected. For Lee Kyung-bok, it was a welcome condition.
'With this rule, we can easily weed out those who might cause problems.'
All three of them smiled as they reviewed the last rule.
“Okay, let’s start with these five rules.”
“I feel good because it seems like something has been organized.”
“Since we went with the black company concept, it’s basically like we created our own rules.”
Genome let out a low laugh and rang the staff call bell.
“Okay, let’s have a drink now!”
“What about the side dish?”
“Oh, I told you to just do it?”
“How about just samgyeopsal?”
The three filled the glasses the staff brought and clinked them lightly.
“Let’s make it fun.”

The next day, Genome's fan cafe.
Unlike yesterday, the main photo of the fan cafe had changed. In the photo of Genome in his original costume as a researcher of anatomy, Purple and Genome in their suits and masks, and Eclipse in their knightly attire were standing together.
[Wow lol now it feels real]
[Want to become the official fan cafe of the True True Purge Day Crew?!]
[I see you got out early yesterday haha]
[Kingjik cafe is really comfortable lol]
This was decided because Purple and Eclipse only operated fan pages, and Genome additionally operated a fan cafe.
It was also possible because all three people had overlapping fans.
[Still, the number of members has increased a lot]
[It's nice that the bulletin boards are separated, lol]
[King Zik Tonight needs some reorganization]
[Ah haha isn't that a hot clip one-tool?]
The cafe members were pleased with that fact. But the interest did not last long.
It was thanks to this that attention was drawn to the newly opened bulletin board.
[(주)퓨지데이인터널 지원]
It was the audition bulletin board that was revealed on yesterday's broadcast. Applicants had to apply by posting on the bulletin board according to the form.
[General members cannot verify applicants?]
[Do I need to upgrade to view it?]
[Why is everything private?]
[What? Weren't you supposed to reveal everything?]
But strangely, all of the support posts were anonymous and could only be viewed by administrators.
It was a different situation from what Lee Kyung-bok had said the day before. Didn't he clearly say that the entire process would be transparently disclosed?
[There are a lot of cafeteria kids, lol]
[I won't reveal the application form lol]
[Even though my brother is old, his broadcasting experience is decent]
[It is best not to disclose who applied]
Other members quickly replied to that question.
[Why the support board is private.araboza]
[First of all, I don't know what information will be in the application form.
Even in the original company, personal information is sensitive, so only the HR department can see it.
Of course it's not a real company but anyway lol
This is a wise rat
There will be some well-known performers in this audition, but there may also be some rookies or newbies.
Why?
The number of people joining Purge Day right now is almost 20,000. Isn't this a crazy opportunity?
If you pass the audition, you will definitely get promoted ㅋㅋㅋ
But will it be made public who supports it?
Do you think the Troopers will stay still?
It's obvious that they'll say things like, 'The level doesn't match', 'I don't even need to look at this to fail', 'Apply with these specs? Do you have a conscience?' lol
You're not like that? What can I do? Are you the only one watching the show?
Oh lol, then why don't you just make it public and block comments?
If you have a brain, you wouldn't be asking questions like that lol
Even if I don't comment here, it's obvious they'll copy it and circulate it in other communities, f*ck ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
But why did you create the bulletin board?
If you look at the bulletin board, does it appear next to the number of posts?
This shows the number of applicants right away.
We provided this much support to the trainees, and applicants can look at the competition rate and see for themselves.
Just by looking at it, you can tell what it means ㅋㅋㅋ
[No matter what, I know that our little rat knows how to broadcast]
[-What is the name of the rat?]
[The rat guy's sub-character is a narrow-minded person]
[Nah lol was that you?]
[The best recommendation lol]
[-This genome is no joke either?]
[It looks like it's an internet ghost?]
[Please, live in reality!]
[Nah lol that's not something you should be saying lol]
As soon as a representative member posted the article, the doubts were quickly dispelled. Instead, people focused on the number of applicants.
[Is it true that only applicants here are accepted?]
[61 people so far, isn't that a bit small?]
[They're not coming as fast as I thought]
[I guess it's because the burden is greater?]
About three hours before the broadcast time, the number of applicants was currently 61.
[No lol 61 is a lot!]
[Don't you think about filtering? LOL]
[King Jikjik, most of the Smerks have already formed a team]
[Teams that participated in previous seasons had practice broadcasts]
[There aren't many smers in the bottom position above pla ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
Although it may seem like a small number, there were more people who did not think so.
Considering the conditions set by the Purge Day Crew, this was a lot of people.
[I think there will be people who keep coming in until the end ㅋㅋㅋ]
[Wouldn't it end with around 80 people?]
[80:2 is a very competitive ratio lol]
[If you think that King Chi is a jackpot, it's really great]
[I think they'll flock like the upper genome lol]
As the broadcast time approached, people's attention moved away from the cafe.
That's because we moved to Tri Channel for the main broadcast.
Was that why?
[Watch MCK broadcast now!]
A member's hastily posted post did not receive immediate attention.
Only some members who were checking the number of applicants found the post.
And before you even click on that post.
[Breaking News] Purple mentioned in Elephant MCK!]
A new article with an unmissable title has been posted.
Surprised by this, members immediately clicked on the post. The post only had one clip attached, as if nothing else was needed.
This was an interview with 'Tier One' that took place right after the opening match of 'Mystic League Championship Korea', MCK.
<Now, let's meet the star of this victory, Tier One's Elephant!>
The interviewee who appeared as a representative was none other than Elephant. Caster Jeong So-yoon handed him the microphone in a cheerful voice.
<Yes, thank you.>
<Elephant player! You showed a truly amazing performance in this opening match. Not only our commentators but also the opposing team were surprised. Can you tell us a little bit about your secret?>
Was this a question you anticipated in advance?
The elephant answered without a moment's hesitation.
<It is an undeniable fact that I have had severe ups and downs. However, I recently found the answer to that problem.>
At that answer, Jeong So-yoon's already large eyes opened even wider. The roar of the fans watching the scene became loud enough to be heard by the microphone.
But the elephant was unmoved. Instead, he looked into the camera and continued speaking.
<I don't know if you're watching the game, but I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you.>
For a moment the commotion stopped.
Everyone's attention was focused on him as they became quiet as if they did not want to interrupt Elephant's words.
<I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Purple, the streamer who taught me so much.>
<Purple-nim?!>
When the name of the benefactor was revealed, Jeong So-yoon let out a voice without realizing it.
<Elephant Player, did you have a personal relationship with Purple?>
<As my fans probably know, we met by chance. We met during a game, and I was the one who asked for help first.>
The elephant turned back to the camera with a faint smile.
<I shamelessly asked for your help, and you readily gave me your time. I will make sure to win the remaining matches so that your time and help will not be in vain.>
<Ah, it’s great to see Elephant regaining his confidence like this! Thanks again to Elephant for the interview.>
The clip ended like that.
It was a short video, less than 5 minutes long, but it contained a lot of content.
[-Huh? If it's Elephant, isn't it the guy you met on the first day?]
[ㄴ안이;;; When did we meet!]
[ㅋㅋㅋ Are you saying you can tolerate this Q-angle?]
[Wow lol, did you really help me out for real?]
[What the hell is Godple's personality!]
[They say it's a black company! They say it's a black company!]
[The best man special] Helping people in need secretly]
[-An amateur helping a pro later?!]
[Why is this happening?]
[Professor N, what are your external lectures?]
[ㄴ???: Yes? Didn't I have to pay tuition?]
[It seems like Newton's real seat is really unfair lol]
[-What's surprising is that Godple's coaching was helpful to pros tooㅋㅋㅋ]
[Isn't there a black cow that doesn't buy purple coins?]
[Nah lol even a pro can't resist purple coins!]
[Just how high do you plan on going? LOL!]
[ㄴ???: Mars is coming!]
[Is that Milon Ask? LOL]
Everyone admired and praised his hidden(?) good deeds. But the aftermath of this incident did not end there.
[What is this? Why is the applicant board like that?]
[Oh lol the purple coin rush has started]
[The ants that were watching will come flocking before the market closes?]
[Wow lol is it true that it surpassed 200 subscribers?]
[10 minutes before Puckett closes!]
In an instant, the number of applicants skyrocketed and exceeded 200.
The value of working with Purple on Purge Day was further enhanced.
