Episode 253 – Interview after passing (1)
Metagamer, Korea's largest gaming webzine.
Among the news from various fields, a new main article has been posted under the 'Influencer' tab.
[No. 1 in the world for fun games]
A short title written against the backdrop of a setting sun. But that alone was enough to grab people's attention.
[Streamer 'Perfect Play' (hereinafter Purple) cleared the Master rank of Rock and Roll developer's new game, 'Royal Desperate Revenge' (hereinafter Roderick) for the first time in the world and in the shortest time.]
The first sentence summarized the content of the article, but no one read only that sentence and left.
The content itself was enough to pique my interest, and there was a screenshot of the comparison right below it.
[The record was collected from 'Howfast.com', which hosts speedrun competitions for various games.

The above data is the records of the contestants at the time of Purple's clear.
Among the contestants, the highest record for the master level is '17:27:43', which is a significant difference from Purple's clear record of '13:17:24'.
Even if the current #1 contestant were to try again after seeing the ending, it would be difficult to close the gap in records.
Accordingly, the probability of another player breaking Purple's record in the future is extremely low, so Purple's record has become the undisputed number one.
It was a truly overwhelming difference.
Moreover, Lee Kyung-bok's record was the record at the time of clearing, while the other participants were still in the middle of playing.
Therefore, it was nearly impossible for the gap to narrow.
But the article didn't end there.
[However, the results of the investigation showed that there was a record faster than Purple's.]
It was a sentence that naturally raised a question. He is in first place, but how is there a faster record than that?
People who read the article couldn't help but check the following.
[The records of players who saw the ending before Purple are as follows.

(Source – Howfast.com)
'13:14:57', cleared about 2 minutes before Purple's record.
The difference is that this player chose the easiest 'Apprentice' rank, not the 'Master' rank.]
It was a record comparing not only the master level but the entire thing.
Although the master and the trainee were polar opposites, the difference in their clear records was not that great.
[What should be noted is the attitude of the players approaching the game.
All of the players whose records were shown above are participants in the 'Speed Run Competition'. Their goal was to compete for the rankings, but Purple was different.
As Purple mentioned on his broadcast, he did not focus on 'quick clearing'. He started the game with the attitude of 'enjoying the game', but his record was better than anyone else's.
It has become clear that even participants of other levels cannot fill the gap, so it is expected that Purple's record will be difficult to break no matter what kind of 'hard game' is played.
The article seemed to end like that, but there was one more line attached at the end.
[Separately, the record of Japanese streamer 'Yattaman', who ran a promotion with Rock and Roll Games along with Purple, was '74:32:11'.]
People who read the article to the end immediately left comments.
[-This is Wolcl, lol]
[-From now on, the home of Westerns is Korea.]
[-Ah lol if you go all the way west from the US you'll end up in Korea]
[- Are you dissatisfied American? Free bullet giveaway. Always grateful and I also Purplejoa]
[-What is this? It's the usual Godple?]
[-Wow, the gap is this big?]
[-Oh my gosh, the contestants are also real heavenly players, lol]
[- Since it is the celestial realm, it is obviously below Godple, right?]
[-Really lol. The one who rules the heavens is a god, so how can you surpass him?]
[-Breaking News) Peter Higgs 'People are misunderstanding his predictions. It should be called the purple particle even now']
[-Ah haha, Godple is a god!]
[-What's the difference between this and the trainee level record?]
[-Wow lol I have to run really hard on the Aegi difficulty level to barely win]
[-In reality, isn't it true that even the master level is considered childish difficulty for a god player?]
[-???: When does it get difficult?]
[-I think the game wouldn't be fun if the real Godple played on low difficultyㅋㅋㅋ]
[-You're not just looking for difficult things, lol]
[-What is Yattaman lol]
[-In fact, comparing the differences is meaningless!]
[-To be honest, Yattaman's goal was to see the ending before the final battle, lol]
[-I really just slept and played games lol]
[-But Godple was fast, right?]
[-How far have you cleared Yattaman so far?]
[-Oh lol it's still on air]
Within a few minutes, a link to Yatterman's broadcast was posted in the comments section. Since the result of the Korea-Japan match(?) had already been decided, people felt relieved.
They went to watch the broadcast, curious about Yatterman's performance.
* * *
Yatterman was working on Chapter 5. He was currently in a standoff with Romwell's gang on the snowy mountain.
“Son! Let’s go save Light!”
He too was immersed in the game, and could have chosen to take revenge with Light.

Yatterman went out with Billy, but the result was different from Lee Kyung-bok's.
“Billyeeeeeeee!”
“Ugh, there are so many outlaws!”
“I will definitely save you!”
Yatterman's skills weren't bad, but he was always late in reacting, and Billy died.
Viewers playfully teased him about this.
-Yattaman, aren't you disqualified as a father?
-Poor Billy! ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡
-The inheritance of skills is too much www Yattaman Billy becomes a dogeza www
Yattaman's determination was further fueled by this.
“Everyone! Billy is my son! What I want to pass on to him is not just his skills, but also his perseverance! If he takes after me, he won’t give up!”
-No no, don't let Billy's mind decide for himselfwww
-Shouldn't we listen to Billy's side of things too?
-Becoming a family like Yatterman. Thinking about it makes me tired.
Despite the viewers' teasing, he continued to try again. Thanks to this, he was able to memorize the location of the outlaw and the time of his appearance, and even reached the cabin.
It's time to chase after Romwell.
“Whoa?!”
However, while following the blood trail, he was ambushed by lawbreakers and met his death again.
“Ugh, it was a surprise attack! This is cowardly!”
Fortunately, the checkpoint was saved and the game restarted at the cabin. Yatterman was able to deal with the ambush and pursue Romwell.
Then the dynamite was thrown and the moment of choice arrived.
But Yatterman didn't have the talent to solve both like Lee Kyung-bok.
“Billy! Go after Romwell!”
Then he ordered Billy to run towards Wright.
“Lightemon! Trust me and run!”
Light leapt towards him from the top of the hill. With a thunderous explosion, Yatterman caught him.
“Ugh!”
"100 million!"
Both men suffered minor injuries but survived.
-Don't call me Lightemon at important momentswww
-Yattaman's Yatta has arrived!
-Was the mission successful?
The viewers were happy for a moment.
Yatterman's gaze turned to the sound of a single gunshot.
“Haha! Everyone get buried!”
Romwell blew up the gun and Billy was lying down in front of him. Before Yatterman could even startle, a loud noise struck his ears.
“Hey, is this real? This is serious!”
An avalanche of snow poured down from the hill and crashed down on him. Then the screen went black and he returned to the checkpoint.
-I died againwww
-Oh, oh, should I give up on Lightemon?
– Mr. Yatterman! The match against Mr. Purple has already been decided, right? Let's clear it first!
At the viewers' comments, Yatterman paused the game for a moment and became even more motivated.
“Okay, I admit that I lost to Purple! But the fight with me isn’t over yet!”
He raised the tension without showing any sign of intimidation.
“The conditions I set will not change. I will definitely see the same ending as Purple C, no matter what!”
-Yattaman, it's burning again!
-It's burning so much, this is a huge fire, right?
-That's why I watch Yatterman!
-Ah, I guess it'll take 10 more hours.
The viewers also did not spare their support for Yattaman because he is such a person.

Late at night, at Madman's house.
Madman was staring at the monitor with his mouth slightly open.
“Wow, really… … ”
The video editing had already been completed and had been sent to Choi Byung-hoon for review. Even so, it was a video that I never got tired of watching over and over again.
“The real Gemalcon is coming out right now.”
The content of the video was a do-tan play that immediately dealt with the ambushed outlaws.
'It's amazing that he hit the bullet, but that's not all.'
Most viewers would have been surprised by that alone, but Mad Men was different.
I've made countless videos related to shooting, so there was a lot to see.
'I can't help but think that this is truly a miracle… '
Viewers would have been surprised after watching it live on air, but there were many more surprising things when they looked closely while editing.
'What I'm saying is that just because bullets collide doesn't necessarily mean they'll succeed.'
Madman replayed the footage in slow motion again. Lee Kyung-bok fired the shot right after Billy had given the order.
'If the timing is even a little off, the shot won't be successful.'
There was a big difference in specs between Lee Kyung-bok's High Noon Repeater and Billy's Revolver. The viewers, as well as most players, would not be able to feel the difference. The result comes out immediately after firing.
'This is clearly a calculation of the difference in specs between the two guns.'
However, Lee Kyung-bok accurately calculated the difference in specs. It was amazing that he matched the firing timing by considering the difference in bullet speed, but it didn't end there.
'Besides, the collision angle of the two bullets must also be matched.'
The intersection and angle of bullets fired from different muzzles was another key factor.
Even if a bullet hits, if it bounces off somewhere unexpected, it is nothing more than a 'miraculous happening'.
Still, there was a reason why Mad Men thought it was a 'miracle' rather than a happening.
'If it was just a little bit off, it would have been completely wrong, and as if that wasn't enough, I ended up getting a headshot.'
Two bullets ricocheted off the impact and lodged in the outlaw's head.
Not just one, but both.
No one would have thought this was a coincidence.
“This is crazy, really.”
Madman shuddered again.
Where in the world can you find someone who shoots a gun like this? There must be no one who elevates shooting to an art form like this.
'Literally one of a kind.'
Madman's eyes became clearer.
I am newly convinced.
'Purple images are always the top priority.'
In the future, no matter who else requests video editing, it will be completed before Lee Kyung-bok.
While I was making that promise, a message popped up on the monitor.
[>Good good lol]
[>There is absolutely no need to touch this one]
It was Choi Byeong-hun's confirmation.
Madman smiled and replied.
[>That's obvious!]
[>This shot is my first time seeing it in my life, so I tried really hard!]
What made him even more proud was that it wasn't just Choi Byeong-hun who reviewed this video.
Since Lee Kyung-bok also said he would inspect it, isn't it the same as receiving his direct approval?
[>Ah lol RGRG]
[>Thank you for your hard work]
[>Thanks to you, this commercial video has been completed]
Madman blankly stared at the monitor as Choi Byung-hoon continued to talk.
“Oh, I see… … ”
A reality that was so enjoyable that I put it aside for a moment.
The fact was that she was involved in this editing as a freelancer. It was not known when she would be able to edit Purple's footage again.
It was at that moment when emptiness was about to consume my heart.
[>Hey, the manager sent me an email?]
My head tilted involuntarily at the text message from Choi Byeong-hun who had returned. Why is this email coming all of a sudden?
The explanation continued even before I opened my mailbox.
[>I've been worried about this since I started working with you.]
[>After discussing with others, I am making an official recruitment offer]
[>The attached is a contract, so read it]
As soon as he confirmed the contents, Madman's hands began to move busily.
[>Is this real?!]
[>Of course I will!]
You can work on Purple's footage again and in the future.
That fact alone is enough to make the decision.
[>Oh my gosh lol What's the quick answer lol]
[>Did you read the contract?]
[>Hey lol this is seriously serious]
[>Think really carefully and answer]
[>It's invalid now, but I think the answer will be true after the sun rises lol]
[>Then good night!]
Madman wrinkled his nose at Choi Byung-hoon's reply.
'Oh, this kid. I'm really serious.'
Still, it wasn't wrong.
Madman immediately checked his email and opened the attached contract.
“What is this?”
As I quickly looked over the contents, my eyes opened wide.
“It’s totally awesome?”
The contract terms were very good.
'Can I still run my channel? This is such a blessing?'
I thought I had read it the wrong way around, but it clearly said 'allowed'. And the pay was quite high.
However, one condition caught my eye.
“Is an interview with the CEO mandatory… …?”
If they're giving me a contract, it's pretty much set in stone, so why are you having an interview?
A question naturally arose in my mind, but even that only lasted for a moment.
'Oh, so what?'
I can handle Purple's videos every day, so what's the problem with doing interviews?
‘… I guess I should wear a suit though. It’s been a while since I got a haircut, so I should get it trimmed.’
Now that I think about it, a minor issue does come to mind.
“Okay! Let’s go to bed early today!”
I couldn't miss this opportunity.
