Episode 307 – In Rome, Roman Law (1)
Around the same time, Try's headquarters.
It wasn't just Kyoungbok Lee who monitored the broadcast.
The marketing team members, who would normally have left work, were gathered in the seminar room watching the broadcast.
<This event battle! 'Let's stick together as a set' will also make noise!>
As soon as it was decided that Decibel would participate, everyone clapped their hands in unison.
"it's okay!"
“Decibel is confirmed!”
“Wow, thank goodness you decided quickly.”
The team members chatted away with relieved expressions. The team leader smiled broadly and clapped his hands again.
“Okay! So the lineup is now set? Unless there are any special problems among the participants, there will be no problems. So now let’s get to work with peace of mind.”
"yes!"
"All right!"
He immediately turned the screen to his team members' answers. The work he had been doing before Lee Kyung-bok's broadcast was displayed on the screen.
“I’ll give you feedback at the end, so let’s all brainstorm freely for now.”
The team members nodded to him and put their heads together in groups of three or four.
[Let's stick together cheering banner text]
Meanwhile, the team leader laughed as he looked at the text displayed on the screen.
'A cheering match?'
This is what the marketing team is currently struggling with.
'Well, it's a place where biased commentary is also taking place.'
After reporting on the idea of ‘biased commentary’ that came out of the meeting with Lee Kyung-bok, I received confirmation of the progress.
However, since we cannot proceed with this in Tri, we have also conveyed this to Serengeti and discussed it.
'I know what the people who are called representatives are thinking, but I don't know what they are thinking.'
It seems that Serengeti accepted him and talked to Representative Bang Han-ul as well, and it was decided that both sides would proceed with the 'biased commentary'.
But then another directive came down from above.
'Is it because they all graduated from prestigious universities?'
That was the 'cheerleading battle' between the two platforms.
The order was to create an event promotion banner like the regular match between Yeonsang University and Goryeong University, which are famous for their prestigious schools, and the event where everything is competed under the name of 'Yeongojeon' or 'Goyeonjeon'.
Since no separate ideas were submitted within the company, it was clear that the representatives of both sides had discussed the matter among themselves.
“You might be wondering what this is, not even being able to get off work. To be honest, if it was just a metal punch competition, I would have covered it within my capabilities.”
The team leader emphasized the importance of this again as he watched his team members struggling.
“But this time, Purple-nim and Shoulder-nim came out as representatives of both sides. Even if we don’t do this well, we can get at least 50,000 viewers, and if we do it well, we can get over 100,000, right?”
He didn't wait for an answer, because that wasn't what he wanted to hear.
“I mentioned it briefly above, but this is actually a competition between the marketing skills of both platforms. Whether it’s the platform or the participant memes, let’s just pour out something fun and memorable. I’ll take responsibility for the filtering.”
"ancient!"
"All right!"
The staff responded enthusiastically again.
It wasn't just streamers competing against each other at this event.
* * *
Lee Kyung-bok and Decibel played a few more songs after that, and finally the time for the end of Part 1 came.
-Beat Sword is so much fun lol
-Really lol I didn't know it would be this fun
-If you sing while cutting notes like Denunna, you'll feel great
-Just listening to it relieves all my stress ㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah haha why are you going to coin karaoke?
Lee Kyung-bok also smiled and shared his thoughts in the excited chat window.
“Well, I tried out Beat Sword like this. What I felt was that even though it was an original song, the quality was amazing. But if you add a custom song to it, I think it would be really cost-effective.”
“Ah! Purple-nim saw it correctly! I was really sad that I couldn’t show you this on TV, but the custom song is actually the real deal.”
Isn't that a favorable review for a game you like? Decibel was delighted and quickly poured out his words.
“If you look through this community, you’ll quickly understand. And it’s not just foreign songs, there’s a lot of K-pop too. There’s definitely a song that viewers like.”
In such a pleasant atmosphere, Lee Kyung-bok and Decibel returned to the studio.
Now it was time to move on to part 2.
“Okay, now let’s move on to part 2. I was worried that you might decline, but thankfully Decibel-nim decided to join right away. I would like to thank you again!”
“Hey, I should be the one thanking you more! Since this is a valuable opportunity, I’ll do my best!”
-If you have the physical strength to do that, you can eat the basics and go in ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– I've confirmed that even true re-gamers aren't fooling around with their physical abilities, lol
-It looks like Serengeti is in an emergency situation right now lol
-It wasn't a decibel, it was an emergency bell?
-Is that ringtone 'Let's go'?
-No lol but that sound is so catchy lol
Joyful chats appeared in the chat window with clapping emoticons.
“Okay, then here’s the second part I’ve prepared for you today! It’s Decibel’s Metal Punch introductory coaching.”
Lee Kyung-bok playfully looked back at Decibel.
“But Mr. Decibel, I think the viewers want it, so can I ask you one more favor?”
Decibel raised an eyebrow at him, but soon raised the corners of her mouth. She answered, slightly lifting her pixel sunglasses.

“That’s nothing! Let’s go Metal Punch!”
She felt no hesitation in showing herself. She executed the metal punch with a cool voice.
-Ah haha this is it!
-Let's verify the parallel theory between fighting gamers and re-gamers!
-That's what Godple said, so how could it be wrong?
-Perfect Coaching ON!
As the background changed, Decibel looked back at Lee Kyung-bok and bowed.
“Coach! Please take good care of me! I will trust you and follow you!”
“When you say it like that, I think I need to be more alert.”
While Lee Kyung-bok was whining, the screen changed. It wasn't the familiar lobby, but a dojo.
Decibel was the first to have a metal punch.
-Ah haha, that's right, starting from the tutorial.
-Certified newbie ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-How on earth are you going to overcome the barrier to entry?
-Isn't avoiding walls your specialty? Lol
After registering the neural signals, it was time to input the command. A list of characters that would start the tutorial appeared.
“Since it’s a tutorial, feel free to choose.”
"yep!"
Decibel cheered again and looked at the characters that appeared before his eyes.
“Oh, he’s cute.”
Her choice was 'Lang Lang', a woman in a Chinese dress. She then stood in the dojo and focused on the command in front of her.
[↓→RP]
It was the same command that Lee Kyung-bok gave.
-indeed!?
-Are the Kingban people wandering around here?
-Ah haha I think I can just do it
– Are you like Denunna and Kingbanin? Lol
While the viewers' attention was focused, Decibel moved. He bent down slightly and stepped forward, raising his right hand.
But something was strange.
“Huh? Isn’t this it?”
It was just a normal punch without any effects. A question mark appeared in the chat window.
-what?
-Do you think I did it right?
-Why is it like this?
-How did it happen? How did it happen?
-Why are hands recognized first?
-Isn't it buggy?
-Katsuya! Is this a game?
The viewers and Decibel also looked up at her command that appeared before their eyes.
[↓RP→]
Decibel frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure.
“Is that weird? I did it in order? I’ll try again.”
The next challenge.
But the result was the same.
-Isn't this really a bug?
-Don't you usually make mistakes when moving?
-It's the first time I've seen hand commands get tangled;;
-Really lol who would say punching is wrong?
If only the movement had been wrong, I would have understood. Decibel looked back at Lee Kyung-bok with an embarrassed face at the chat response.
But Lee Gyeong-bok had an expression on his face as if he was aware of something.
“Mr. Decibel?”
"yes!"
“I think it’s because of your habit of using bit swords.”
At his words, a question mark appeared in the chat window as well as above Decibel's head. What does he mean by habit?
“I bet Decibel-nim has only been doing difficult songs lately, right?”
“Huh? Oh, right.”
“Looking at the songs I’ve done, there were many cases where I avoided the walls while taking notes. I think that habit has become established, and the nerve signals in my hands react more quickly between movements.”
This is a phenomenon that occurs because the decibel is special, rather than because a systematic flaw suddenly occurred.
That was Lee Gyeong-bok's judgment.
“There’s no need to rush. Just try this.”
And he had thought about how to deal with it.
“Don’t be nervous, and think of playing a song with a very slow tempo. Something around 60 BPM? It would be good to have the walls and notes appear separately, like the ‘Swordsman’ in the tutorial, a song that beginners play.”
Although viewers were still confused by the explanation, Decibel applauded and cheered.
“Oh, I get it! Thank you! I’ll give it a try!”
She immediately set about trying again.
Soon, the striking skill 'Flying Wing Palm' was cast with such simple effects.
“Wow! That’s it! You hit with your palm, not your fist.”
-?????????
-It wasn't a bug?
-Wow lol King Banin's reflexes are slow which is a problem but De Nunna's is the opposite lol
-Really ㅋㅋ Rather, it was so fast that the hand was recognized first?
-ㅁㅊ It turns out Gotple didn't do the first part of the experience content for nothingㅋㅋㅋ
-Really ㅋㅋ What's the solution that comes out right away?
-Ah, this is what they call perfect eye-level education.
Lee Kyung-bok smiled as viewers expressed their admiration for him.
“Metal Punch is not a game about speed. Please remember that accurate response is more important.”
“Yes! I typed it in right away!”
The two people who finished the tutorial smoothly returned to the lobby.
“Okay, so now we have to do some coaching, but what should we do first?”
Lee Kyung-bok said that and started the practice mode. Along with that, a list of 50 characters appeared on the screen.
“You must first select the main character you will practice with, Decibel.”
Langlang was the character I chose because of the quick tutorial. It was time to decide on a character to practice with in preparation for the event battle.
-Langlang is already booked by Haja ㅋㅋㅋ
-There is some overlap, but I think it can be compared lol
-Looking at the notes Deunna is writing, isn't it Tsujimoto Kak?
-Hahaha I thought about that too
-I think it will be okay since Mr. Lee is from the men's department?
Perhaps because of his performance in Beat Sword, most viewers expected Tsujimoto to use a sword.
He also asked Lee Kyung-bok about decibel.
“Many people recommend Tsujimoto, should I try it?”
Lee Kyung-bok let out a short sigh at that question.
“Well, I don’t really recommend Tsujimoto.”
“Ah, Eclipse-nim and my character overlap…”
“No, that’s not it. I think it would be better for you to try it once. Would you like to try Tsujimoto?”
"yes!"
Decibel obediently followed his words. She, who had chosen Tsujimoto, stood in the dojo again.
“Try swinging your sword comfortably.”
At Lee Kyung-bok's urging, she swung a Japanese sword, although the way she did so was similar to that of Beat Sword.
-uh…
-What is it? Something feels a bit awkward?
-Did you originally swing it like this?
-Wasn't it this?
Her movements were awkward enough that even the viewers could tell. Decibel laughed awkwardly at the rapidly increasing chat.
“Oh, actually, I had a similar feeling when I played other games where I used swords. I thought Metal Punch would be a little different, but it wasn’t.”
“Rather, something different is normal.”
"yes?"
Decibel turned his eyes to Lee Kyung-bok's words.
“The light sword that Decibel is familiar with has a blade made of light, right? That’s why you don’t feel its weight, and it feels like you’re just swinging the handle.”
He continued, pointing to the Japanese sword.
“So, if you hold a real sword like you did just now, you will feel the balance is different. If it doesn’t feel awkward, then it is proof that it is a poorly made game.”
At those words, Decibel's eyes widened.
“Oh, somehow! It felt slower and more stuffy than I expected! It must be because of the weight!”
-Do you feel that difference?
– Are you guys busy taking care of your own body while doing all the talking?
-Really ㅋㅋ There are more cases where the body is dragged by the sword
-What is it! I want to feel it too!
-???: Ah! I don't know about that! (I really don't know)
-Anyway, this is a conversation between geniuses!
While the viewers were laughing, Decibel looked at Lee Kyung-bok with his eyes shining even brighter.
“I’ll do as you recommend, Coach! Please vote for me!”
“Actually, I have something in mind. If you don’t have a favorite character, I was thinking of recommending one to you.”
Decibel returned to the character selection screen immediately after receiving the answer with a faint smile.
“Just say the word! I’ll pick it right away!”
“No, but I still need to explain it to you. It will motivate you more if you understand the reason.”
“Oh, I will keep that in mind!”
-What do you mean by acceptance of ignorance? LOL
-Perfect coaching is right lol
-Really ㅋㅋ If you don't have confidence that you can do better than Gotpl, then listen to Imari
-Who will be Godple Pick?!
Amidst everyone's expectations, Lee Kyung-bok turned his gaze to the character list.
“The event schedule hasn’t been set yet, but there probably won’t be much time to practice. If you want to master it in a short period of time, Decibel-nim, you should play a character that’s easy to adapt to.”
-Oh lol that's right too
-So that's what you figured out?
-So my brother has a plan for everything?
-Eyes! Those eyes!
-Thanks to your perfect eye, Imari.
-If you think about the beat, isn't it capoeira?
-Oh lol, Edward would probably be okay?
Lee Kyung-bok smiled and raised his finger.
“This is perfect for you, Decibel.”
Everyone's eyes turned to follow the tip of his finger.
Decibel blinked for a moment and then took off his sunglasses.
"jaguar?"
Lee Kyung-bok's choice was the wrestler 'Jaguar', a character specializing in grabbing.
* * *
Decibel was looking at the Jaguar's command table as instructed by Lee Kyung-bok.
-Isn't it dizzying just to look at it?
-Huh? Is this really true?
-No matter how you look at it, it's not for beginners!
-Is the short term something different from what I know?
-Hyung, you judged by your own standards again, lol
Viewers expressed their pessimism, half jokingly and half seriously.
Basically, the command list for striking characters is not complicated. This is because individual skills are combined to create combos.
But the jaguar was different.
-What kind of multi-level marketing business is this? Lol
-Really lol the branches keep stretching out
-Do all the people who play Jaguar have this memorized?
-Not just anyone can become a real fighting gamer!
In addition to basic striking skills, a grab command was added as befitting a character specializing in grabs.
The command wasn't simple either.
Starting with the grab divided into three judgments, upper, middle, and lower, the resulting continuous grab commands branched out into several branches.
-If it's for a short period of time, wouldn't it be better to go with Philip, who is a one-shot character?
-Oh lol, if you get used to the tempo and psychological warfare, it might not be so bad to see the match?
-Or maybe since you have fast hands, a little dragon would be okay?
-Even the little dragon has the potential to be king lol
Viewers offered several alternatives, but Decibel paid no attention.
“I’ll try it myself first!”
She trusted Lee Kyung-bok's choice. So she immediately decided to target Mok-in.
-oh?
-what?
-omg?
-3rd stage success!
-Haha …
The jaguar continued to catch the animal by knocking it down and beating it.
The viewers who were watching with interest were soon shocked.
-ㅁㅊ Up to 10th level on the first try?!
-No;;; You memorized all 10 combos?
-How did you do it, how did you do it!
-???: It's torn aaaaaaaah!
-Why did you really tear it?!
-They say that if you teach a genius one thing, he will know ten!
-You really knew up to ten? LOL
-I'm so touched by your perfect eyes lol
It was thanks to her success in catching the 10th level right away that the wooden man's stamina dropped below 20% and blinked red.
Decibel answered him confidently.
“Compared to when I looked at the Regem genealogy, it wasn’t that complicated.”
pedigree.
It was a kind of guidebook that organized the note placement of rhythm games.
Before she reached the level of a craftsman, she would often do repetitive plays and even simulate them in her head while looking at the pedigree.
'Memorizing commands like this isn't a big deal.'
She looked back at Lee Kyung-bok, secretly feeling proud. Since she did so well, wouldn't he be satisfied too?
But Lee Gyeong-bok was shaking his head with a sigh.
“Hmm, Decibel?”
"yes?"
“I have some feedback to give you, so let’s try it again.”
At those words, she and the viewers were puzzled. It was obvious to anyone that it was a successful combo.
“You can write to me, not to the person in charge.”
Lee Kyung-bok soon stood in the dojo with a strong voice. Decibel blinked for a moment and then nodded.
“Then excuse me!”
She followed the instructions and put in a grab combo. This time, too, she continued with a clean grab.
That was the moment when I reached the 4th level.
“Huh!?”
The smoothly continuing grab combo was interrupted. It was thanks to Lee Kyung-bok's escape by inserting a command in the middle.
Up until that point, the viewers were expecting it to be the same.
-????
-Why are you like that, Denunna?
-What is this air grab? LOL
-Suddenly going boom boom haha
-Ah haha this was pre-entered haha
As Decibel continued to hold on, viewers noticed the situation. But soon, viewers began to question themselves again.
-But how does Godple know this?
-Huh? Really?
-It seemed like a perfect combo on the outside;;;
-A perfect child again?
-Oh my gosh, if it's a perfect eye, can you see the command input?
It was something that could not have been known until it was directly released. But didn't Lee Kyung-bok notice it right away when he first saw the decibel demonstration?
Lee Kyung-bok waited for the pre-entered action to finish before answering.
“It was so perfect that I felt a sense of discomfort.”
"yes?"
Decibel was troubled by him.
I thought it was a compliment to say it was perfect, but I also thought it was a feeling of discomfort, which wasn't the case.
'Let's just stay still for now.'
So she waited for Lee Kyung-bok's feedback.
“Fighting game combos are different from processing set notes. You input designated commands, but you have to respond according to the situation.”
Lee Kyung-bok spoke to Decibel in a quiet voice.
“It may be different for each person, but no matter how fast you react, you still need to make a judgment call. At this time, there is bound to be a ‘delay.’ However, Decibel’s catch combo didn’t have that.”
-Wowㅋㅋㅋ You noticed that? -ㅁㅊ You did it so well that I got caughtㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-This guy's eye for detail is crazy.
-Me too! I have perfect eyes too!
-No sledding? It's fun, please!
-This is a rock lol
The viewers laughed and admired the explanation, but Decibel couldn't laugh. If you compress it, doesn't it mean that he just used the skill without thinking?
“Gae-gaming and re-gaming are similar, but they are definitely different. The opponent is a living person. If we talk about re-gaming, we don’t know what kind of variation will come out. You should never input in advance.”
Decibel quickly nodded his head at Lee Kyung-bok's explanation.
'You're trying to explain it to me in a way that suits me.'
Thanks to Lee Kyung-bok's consideration, I was able to understand it quickly. Although it was called a variation, it was different from the trap notes that suddenly popped out.
'You can't let your guard down until the very end because you don't know what will happen.'
She honestly admitted her mistake.
“I think I’ve developed a habit of doing all the combos the way I always do. I’ll be careful!”
In rhythm games, you can anticipate the notes that are about to fly out. But Metal Punch is different.
She reflected on the feedback again and strengthened her resolve.
-Kya hahaha if you pretend, it's pretend?
– Are you saying that you get feedback not because you're bad at something, but because you're good at something? ㅋㅋㅋ
-Is this perfect coaching? What is the coaching I knew?
-This is what happens when old people teach old people Imari
-They're both great so their growth speed is crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Lee Kyung-bok smiled brightly at her reaction.
“As expected, you’ve adapted quickly. Now let’s get started with some serious coaching.”
At those words, the viewers laughed again.
-Oh lol, it's getting serious 'now'?
-So it turns out it was a tutorial?
-What the hell is the Celestial Training Method!
-Ah lol, why did you get Katsushik's strengthening treatment? You could have just invited Godple.
-Eek! Monster! Come to our village!
-Are you actually inviting me? Lol
From now on, the 'beginning' of Part 2 began.
