Episode 351 – Lost Technology (1)
After checking the results of the manufacturing and the pet, Lee Kyung-bok and Park Joo-ho left the captain's cabin. Immediately after, the screen changed.
“The story comes out right away.”
Unlike the two people who had just left, the protagonist in the cutscene was looking away with a serious expression in the captain's cabin.
He was comparing Horatio's map with a large chart that almost covered the desk in one hand and with Horatio's map in the other.
“…It’s nowhere.”
The disappointment in his voice was palpable. The viewers understood the situation from that single word.
-There's no place that matches the map lol
-You are the only clue that connects to Godfather.
-Is this the real map to Atlantis?
-Isn't that an underwater map?
-I don't get it right away, Imari.
But the protagonist didn't give up. His gaze returned to the Atlantis manufacturing device.
“Atlantis… Captain Alfonso clearly said it was a top secret mission.”
He paced around the captain's cabin, muttering quietly.
“Only a very small number of people are aware of its existence. In other words, information about Atlantis is held by the Navy Headquarters.”
-Oh? I see haha
-Does Alfonso know by any chance?
-I think there is some data that is collected separately lol
-5252, So the main character was also the owner of a fuzzy one?
-You're the top student at the military academy, right?
After finishing cleaning up, the protagonist came out onto the deck.
“Captain, I need to go to Naval Headquarters.”
“To headquarters?”
“Yes. We must hurry and set sail, for we must report on that strange device.”
“Yes! I understand!”
The cutscene ended with the captain's cheerful reply.
-The military commander is different after all lol
-Really lol who would dare to report directly to the captain?
-But separately, it is more effective to directly hit the absurd.
-Really lol if you report something bad, it all gets cut off midway
-If you endure it, you'll become a fool, Imari.
-Oh my! Everyone, calm down because you have homework!
-Okay~ There was a whistleblower report for a moment~
-Are you crazy? LOL
Meanwhile, Park Joo-ho finished setting the route.
"It's quite a distance to headquarters. It'll be a bit tiring to go to the control room, right?"
“Oh, really? That’s good.”
Lee Kyung-bok didn't care. As it was a commercial broadcast, he had to introduce the content.
“Then this time, let’s take it easy and try some boat fishing!”
It was a perfect time to introduce fishing, a lifestyle product. Lee Kyung-bok smiled and recalled the introduction he'd heard from the advertiser.
"They say the fish caught vary depending on the area. So, they say it stimulates a certain desire to collect them. I've heard that there are many people who simply collect them."
-WA! Finally!
-I can't resist fishing anymore lol
-Really lol there are a lot of guys who specialize in fishing
-If you want to go fishing in real life, you have to prepare a lot, right?
-Surprisingly, the taste is well implemented, so it's worth doing ㅋㅋㅋ
While viewers were sympathizing with him, Park Joo-ho added an explanation.
"It's not just fish that come up. It says that sometimes items also come up."
“Oh? Are there any items?”
"Of course, it's not a good thing. I see that on mobile, you can use bait items to auto-repeat. It seems to be idle content."
"Well, you've heard our manager's explanation, right? This is designed so you can enjoy it in your spare time. I think it'll feel even more real if you try it yourself."
Lee Kyung-bok smiled and delivered the commercial. As the viewers laughed along, he lightly clapped his hands.
“Then let’s try it out ourselves!”
The two immediately took out fishing rods from their inventory.
* * *
The two sat down, using a small box as a chair. Lee Kyung-bok briefly glanced at the capsule fishing guide and nodded.
"It's incredibly simple. As those of you who've been following my guide will know, capsule players don't consume bait. Just cast your fishing rod toward the ocean and wait for a bite."
“It would be difficult if I did all this and that like real fishing.”
Viewers immediately agreed with Park Joo-ho's comment.
-If it was implemented realistically, only real fishing idiots would like it lol
-Even the guys who really like fishing like fishing, but they don't like the preparation process.
-Are you an old man? Why are you talking about yourself as if it were someone else's story?
-The horizon is calm, which is nice haha
-It's not a fire, it's a sea bream time, Imari
-Let's chat

There wasn't really anything to do until the bite came.
"Then let's use this intermission to have some time to talk. Since you're here, if you have anything to say, feel free to do so."
Lee Kyung-bok didn't clear the audio. Park Joo-ho flinched at the mention of himself, but quickly nodded.
-Ugh lol use it right away
-Huh? Are you going to leave the audio to the manager now!?
-Black corporate style work intuition lol
-But isn't it natural for employees to work?
-Ah haha, I want you to read the mood!
-How long have you known the room leader, Mr. Punisher?
-What's wrong with Mr. Punisher?
-Are you crazy? LOL
-You're a bandit lol
A few questions were raised alongside the playful chatter. Park Joo-ho frowned at the rapidly rising chatter.
“How on earth do you read all this?”
“Why don’t you just look at it and read it?”
"…okay."
Soon, Park Joo-ho could barely utter a single question.
“There are questions like, ‘What type of boss is Purple?’”
-Oh? Who is it? That's very flattering!
-Hahaha, was the question good?
-Aren't you a perfectionist?
-Oh my gosh lol Godful is perfect, he's not a perfectionist lol
-But the editor and manager are perfect, so they have the potential to be kings, lol
Other viewers also expressed interest in the question. Park Joo-ho answered without a moment's hesitation.
“In a word, this guy is crazy about fun.”
"uh?"
As Lee Kyung-bok's eyes widened, Park Joo-ho shrugged.
“Well, I can’t go into detail because it could be specific, but it’s been like that since my school days.”
“Me? When I was in school?”
“Well, to be honest, Purple’s grades weren’t that good.”
As Park Joo-ho spoke freely, the viewers became even more excited.
-Suddenly the atmosphere changed to a diss battle lol
-You should swear at your boss in front of him, isn't that common sense?
-So, I found out that a black company is a company where black employees work?
-Oh lol this is real friend lol
-Manager, you're crazy about fun lol
-So you were really the clear-eyed madman?
Of course, Park Joo-ho didn't bring up the subject to criticize Lee Kyung-bok.
"But it wasn't that I was stupid. My grades were probably bad because studying was 'not fun.'"
-That's true too lol
-Really ㅋㅋ When I see you using brain-calculus, your brain works fast
-Where is there anyone who finds studying fun?
-Those people are locked in graduate school for having fun studying.
-You are really cool lol
Park Joo-ho soon looked back at Lee Kyung-bok with a faint smile.
"If studying had been fun? What about the prestigious universities in Korea? I would have become a genius who went all the way to Harvard."
“No, hey, what is that…”
Lee Kyung-bok squeezed his eyes shut in bewilderment. Soon, he let out a hollow laugh.
“Oh, so this is what it felt like when I introduced you yesterday?”
-Ugh haha …
-So it was revenge?
-Information) The personal manager was a pervert.
-Perfect was right lol
-5252, you were keeping that in mind, right?
-???: Yeah~ You guys are all banned~
-omg!
-Ah, really lol, just hit me
Viewers playfully cornered Park Joo-ho. Lee Kyung-bok quickly changed the subject before things got any more heated.
“Okay. Then this time, I’ll choose a question.”
Lee Kyung-bok rolled his eyes at the countless chats pouring in with him.
One of them caught my eye.
"Oh, I was so envious of your fans. Could you hold a fan meeting, even if it's online? That's what they said."
-Hahaha this is good too
-I saw the behind-the-scenes footage and my stomach really hurt!
-Me too! I'm going to take a picture with Godple too!
-I really have to do this at least once! I have to do it anyway!
The response from the chatter grew even faster. Lee Kyung-bok smiled and stroked his chin.
"Actually, this isn't entirely thoughtless. After all, since the last competition, PerTube subscribers have surpassed 2 million."
“To be exact, it was 2.04 million.”
As Park Joo-ho added, Lee Kyung-bok nodded.
"That's right. So, we're considering various options for a celebration event to celebrate reaching 2 million subscribers. An online fan meeting is one of them."
Meeting fans used to be something I was actually worried about. I'd avoided it for so long because I was afraid of feeling negative energy from fans I might encounter and being disappointed.
'You just have to focus on the good people.'
However, after receiving support from many fans in the platform battle, Lee Kyung-bok's thoughts changed.
The happiness I felt at that time was still vivid in my mind.
-WA! 2 Million Commemorative Event!
-This is an invincible ticket! I'll do it somehow!
-Huh! Just set the standards! I'll meet them all somehow!
-A fan meeting with Godple? This is definitely worth paying a ton of money for lol
-Those who directly watched the competition came out with a clear conscience!
-Please schedule a monthly regular fan meeting!
-One day is too little! Let's make it a month!
-Monthly means the whole month, isn't that common sense?
-But it seems like it'll be full, which is a trap lol
-Then when will the broadcast be? lol
Viewers were quick to chat, their excitement just imagining it. Lee Kyung-bok quickly responded.
"No, it's still in the planning stages, so nothing's set in stone. And we don't even know when it'll happen. Wouldn't it be better for you and me to prepare properly rather than rush things?"
At his words, the chat window filled with 'ㅇㅈ' and 'ㄹㅇㅋ'. At that moment, I saw his fishing rod shaking.
“Hey! Hey! I’m here!”
“What’s here… huh!”
At Lee Kyung-bok's words, Park Joo-ho jumped to his feet and grabbed his fishing rod. Easier than expected, Park Joo-ho's rod was pulled straight back.
It fell onto the deck with a splashing sound.
-What the heck lol I came lol
-I was surprised but it made sense so it was hilarious lol
-As expected of a Godple manager, you're watching the broadcast properly?
-Purpago's fluster? This is very precious.
-But the fish I caught was a long one lol
-Boots with holes in them? Isn't that a total cliché?
-Really lol If you fail at fishing, this is what comes out lol
They were old, worthless boots, even from the outside. But there was no time to be disappointed.
Lee Gyeong-bok also immediately grabbed his fishing rod.
“Oh, what is it?”
It was different from Park Joo-ho.
Lee Kyung-bok's arm muscles swelled in response to the taut fishing line.
-The big one is here!
-Unjikal here again?
-Is this really a real deal?
-Look at the muscles visible above the uniform lol
-Wow lol this guy looks good even when he's fishing
The fishing rod was so bent that I was worried it might break. But then, with a bang, a large shadow rose above the water.
-??????
-What is it? Why is it really big?!
-Wow lol this is so cool lol
-This is a great defense! A great defense!
-Your mouth is watering right now?
As the viewers said, the results window came up right away.
[Defense (R) – 11.7kg]
The defense was quite heavy, befitting its size. Lee Kyung-bok smiled brightly.
"Wow…! I've actually never been fishing before? But is this what it feels like? The thrill of the rod is no joke!"
-Wow haha, this hyung's hands are delicious
-A big defense from the beginning? I can't stand this lol
-Huh! Let's hurry up and eat some raw fish!
-Call the deckhand and he'll bring you some sashimi! Hurry up!
-Hurry up and give me some sashimi! I'm feeling dizzy!
The viewers also got excited, as if it were their own story. Lee Kyung-bok nodded as the chatter poured in.
“Oh, that’s great. I have to try this! Captain!”
Isn't this also one of the contents?
* * *
What the viewers said was true.
The captain dismantled the defenses with his experienced hands and set sail.
Soon, a larger box was used as a table and thickly sliced raw fish was placed on it.
“Enjoy your meal.”
The captain spoke politely and placed coarse salt beside him.
-Hahahaha the visuals are crazy
-What kind of professional chef are you? LOL
-Wow… It’s really thick
-It looks more delicious than it actually is ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Isn't this too much at this hour of the night? LOL!
Lee Kyung-bok also moved his hand while sighing.
“Okay, then I’ll try lifting the taste restriction.”
Food intake in the virtual reality was limited. When he changed the settings, that number decreased.
"This is my first time eating in a capsule. Still, I wonder if it's as realistic as it seems. I'll lower my expectations a bit."
-Haha, now that I think about it, you're wrong
-Seeing something like this makes me a newbie again?
-Ah haha who would think that Godple is a capsule newbie? Lol!
-Cognitive dissonance, sir!
-Are you expecting it right away?
-It's understandable since there's no gochujang or soy sauce.
-No, the large mackerel is delicious even with salt.
While the defensive guide(?) was being posted in the chat window, Lee Gyeong-bok put a piece of raw fish in his mouth.
As soon as he started chewing, his eyes opened wide.
“No, what is this?”
“I guess it tastes good.”
“Hey, this is seriously serious! Come on, try it!”
Park Joo-ho followed Lee Kyung-bok's words and put a piece in his mouth. Soon, he laughed, as if understanding had dawned on him.
“Certainly… this is quite surprising.”
"No, folks. This isn't an ad. It's real. The texture is chewy, and the flavor is amazing. Wow…"
“Well, the details are really great.”
“Does this make sense?”
At the sudden voice, the two raised their heads and burst into laughter.
It seemed as if Permusae had become interested in the fish and had already settled down on Lee Gyeongbok's shoulder.
-Timing is awesome lol
-5252, does Permusae even know the broadcast angle? LOL!
-Hey, lol. Setting up a habit is a godsend.
-But it seems really delicious?
-Really lol I think this is the first time I've seen Godple speak so fast
-Oh shit, this won't work! I have to order a bowl of raw fish!
-So you don't have to pay for the game, but you have to pay for the Amen restaurant?
-Advertiser crying lol
-Huh! Rum! Drink some rum too!
Lee Kyung-bok checked the chat while he was wondering whether he could give the raw fish to Permusae.
"Oh, I don't really drink much in real life. People who exercise probably know that. But since it's a capsule, I think it's okay."
Park Joo-ho promptly poured them some rum. They both clinked their glasses lightly and downed them.
“Oh, this is… different?”
My eyes widened once again.
Lee Kyung-bok quickly explained to the eager viewers.
"It has a strong scent, but it's not bad. The fish is a bit oily, right? But the alcohol washes it away. It also has a cleaner aftertaste than soju."
"One thing to add: you can smell the alcohol, but it doesn't make you drunk. You can think of it as a palate cleanser."
After Park Joo-ho finished speaking, the viewers expressed their admiration.
-Hahahaha this really won't work
-No lol I really enjoyed the Godple lol
-I saw this at the after party for Lee Hyung's Purge Day, but he surprisingly has a good appetite.
-Even the mukbang is perfect, lol!
-Oh no! Are you saying that only the kids are enjoying this good thing?!
-There was a reason why the fishermen did it lol
-Is there anyone who hasn't installed Age of Oceans yet?
The two quickly finished off the fish. Lee Gyeong-bok sighed again and gave a thumbs-up.
"I'll say it again, I highly recommend it. You'll only know what it's like once you try it yourself. It's so good you could easily log in every now and then just to enjoy fishing and sashimi on a boat. Or, should we have our company dinner here?"
When Lee Kyung-bok asked playfully, the viewers burst into laughter.
-Black corporate style cost reduction ㅎㄷㄷ
-It's poisonous!
-???: Please bring your own rum
-???: Salt is expensive, so only those who are going to eat it eat it.
-Is there anything else you're going to bring out in the meantime? LOL
Meanwhile, instead of answering, Park Joo-ho looked at the map.
"Well, we're more than halfway there. It shouldn't take long to get there."
“Oh, already? I was thinking of going fishing one more time, but I guess it’s a bit vague.”
As Lee Kyung-bok was asking that question, his vision suddenly went dark, and then the screen changed.
"what?"
“Huh? It’s a cutscene?”
The cutscene transition left both the audience and the two bewildered. But soon, they had no choice but to focus.
“Pirates! Pirates spotted! There’s a pirate fleet on the left!”
The protagonist and the crew all turned their attention to the urgent warning from the sailor. The protagonist quickly took out his telescope and examined it.
“That’s…!”
What soon appeared on the screen was a large pirate flag. It was decorated with a red-haired skull and a snake sprouting from its eye.
“Red Viper, this is the Camilla Pirates!”
The protagonist seemed to know the owner of the flag. But soon he muttered, as if he didn't understand.
"Why are there pirates here? The Navy headquarters isn't far away."
As the navy and pirates were enemies, it was difficult to find them in each other's home bases.
It was strange to encounter pirates, even if it wasn't right in front of the Naval Headquarters, as it was close by.
But something even stranger happened right away.
Hey! Can you hear me?!
It was a woman's voice.
The sailors turned away in horror.
“What, what is it?”
“Where is that coming from?!”
“Seo, this is the captain’s room!”
Unlike them who were shivering, the protagonist immediately entered the captain's cabin.
"Hey, Navy Commander. If you're listening, answer me."
As I entered, the voice became clearer. It was coming from the Atlantis manufacturing facility.
“I see…”
The protagonist's face hardened at that.
Not only that, Lee Kyung-bok and the viewers were also able to understand the situation.
“Oh, it seems like this device isn’t just one thing.”
It was clear that those pirates also possessed the Atlantis device.
And that wasn't all.
“And it even seems to have communication capabilities.”
That must be why the pirate, Camilla's voice was heard.
