Episode 355 – Lost Technology (5)
It wasn't just viewers who watched Lee Kyung-bok's broadcast.
Pertube editor Choi Byeong-hun glanced away.
'Currently 14,000 viewers, and about 6,000 on the Rogue Games broadcast channel…'
He was monitoring Lee Kyung-bok's broadcast from his officetel.
Wow, how did you figure that out?
<That's right. You really are like a ghost.>
A voice came through the voice chat. He wasn't the only one monitoring.
Madman and Jo Dae-han were watching the broadcast together.
“Here, we can put a question mark in the subtitles to show that we are also surprised.”
<I think it would go well if you also included the 'What's that scary' meme?>
Oh, Mr. Daehan, that's good. I'll keep it.
Of course, I wasn't just watching the broadcast. Normally, if there was any footage left to edit, we'd hold a meeting after the broadcast, but now I had the luxury of time.
In these instances, we watched the broadcast live and held editing idea meetings. This was because it allowed us to work faster.
'Well, basically, it's because Kyungbok trusts us completely.'
The biggest factor in expediting the process was Lee Kyung-bok's trust. He delegated full authority to the editing team, particularly team leader Choi Byeong-hun, which eliminated the need for a review process for video uploads.
Oh? Manager, what's up? You're a good fighter.
<Is that so? No, this isn't luck?>
Soon, the two expressed surprise at Park Joo-ho's performance. Choi Byung-hoon chuckled at the viewers' similar reaction.
“Oh, you might not know because he only does paperwork, but he’s also quite good at using his body.”
<So. I thought the manager was a total model student?>
Oh, me too. You're usually calm, but you're also athletic.
Choi Byeong-hun playfully clicked his tongue at the two people's answers.
"Hey, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I heard he's been preparing to become a police officer since middle school. He probably even got a judo certification to add to his fitness program."
Oh, really? It seemed like you were taking good care of your body when I saw you filming that commercial last time.
A police officer? I never thought of that.
“Well, that could be true. I was just like my father…”
Choi Byeong-hun spoke absentmindedly, then quickly shut his mouth. Then he cleared his throat and muttered.
"Ahem, I'll hear the details from him later. Oh, but this battle scene is a bit tricky."
As soon as he changed the subject, the two people quickly became focused.
<Why? The picture is really nice.>
<Oh, is it because the boss processed it too quickly?>
“No, the situation itself is good, but the stage is too dark right now.”
Choi Byeong-hun also immediately took on the serious attitude of an editor.
“Look, Juho is holding the crystal right now, so you can see it better.”
<That's right. Then… should I increase the brightness to the maximum?>
"No, that would make it even harder. The overall picture would be too blurred and the balance would be lost, so that wouldn't work."
He quickly rolled his eyes and flicked his fingers.
“Okay, the battle itself is short, so let’s just focus on the impact of this scene.”
Just the impact?
How?
"It's going to be darker. Kyungbok is just a little outline, and the viewers' attention is turned towards Deep One."
He heard the two people gasping for breath, but Choi Byeong-hun paid no attention.
"Then the viewers will wonder where Kyungbok went? Remember that part where the musket fires at the beginning? When the light suddenly explodes, we put a slow-motion effect in the close-up and then turn the camera! Then we immediately release the effect and add the sword light effect, and voila!"
<Wow… It was just drawn right now.>
"Right! And at the end, when Deep One collapses, let's adjust the brightness back to its original state and make it look like Kyungbok is emerging from the shadows."
<Oh, this is great. It really makes an impact!>
Cho Daehan was truly satisfied, as the sound of applause could be heard over the voice chat.
<Hah, that's why it's fun to watch it again on YouTube even after watching it live.>
Even the familiar becomes new.
That was the role of the editorial team.

Already the last, the fifth room
Lee Kyung-bok and Park Joo-ho ran towards the door with all their might. Behind them, seawater surged in like a flood.
“Hey! Hurry up!”
Lee Gyeong-bok, who ran out first, gestured and raised his voice.
-Can this work? Can this work?
– Mr. Punisher, did you get a knockout?
-???: I'm so scared! We'll all die like this! (Real)
-Abandoning your friends? Abandoning your best friend?!
-That won't do! Let's throw it away!
While the viewers were on edge, Park Joo-ho clenched his teeth and flew away.
Lee Kyung-bok immediately pressed the open/close switch. The door closed just as Park Joo-ho narrowly escaped.
“Haaa…”
I barely managed to get out.
Park Joo-ho lay face down on the floor and breathed heavily.

-WA! Success!
-Wow lol this is really so annoying lol
-The submerged ship is so evil lol
-Right lol If Godple didn't notice first, I'd never be able to escape
-Isn't there a black cow that you told me to throw away?
-It looks like Punisher will check and ban him right away lol
-Manager! I didn't say anything^^
-So it turns out that the ones that were submerged were the tsoo?
The viewers also felt relieved soon.
On the other hand, Lee Kyung-bok spoke to Park Joo-ho with a big smile on his face.
"Hey, isn't it fun that each room has a different event? You should definitely explore the ruins too."
The viewers, as well as Park Joo-ho, burst into laughter. He shrugged and replied.
“Tell me that item was worth the risk.”
“Oh, that’s right. I went in there to get something.”
When Lee Kyung-bok spoke as if he had forgotten, the viewers also burst into laughter.
-Ah haha, escaping was more fun than the item hahaha
-How do you endure your best friend sticking his butt out next to you?
-Right lol that's more important Imari
-There are so many people who are crazy about the fun of Purpagopisicalㅋㅋㅋ
Lee Kyung-bok then displayed the information on the items he had acquired.
“These are the blueprints for an R-rated Atlantis water cannon.”
At those words, Park Joo-ho's eyes quickly rolled back.
"Hmm, it's not as powerful as a deep-sea whale, but it's meant to block projectiles with high-pressure water streams. It's a shame the rating is a bit low."
It was a defensive component that could be used in place of standard cannons by modifying ships. It didn't seem like a great deal, but viewers had different thoughts.
-Atlantis parts have appeared?
-Kya haha, so it really is rewarding to delve into the depths?
-Wow! This is seriously awesome!
-Really lol When Atlantis goes up for auction, the paying players buy everything
-The grade itself is low, but the acquisition route is limited and the quantity is small, so you can't get it even if you have money.
Even ordinary viewers could enjoy the testimonies of viewers who knew about the game.
-Oh lol I almost regretted it because it was rare lol
-Unjikal is so scary again!
-Then let's sell it at the auction house?
-Manager, you can use it, lol
-This is something that Godple doesn't really need lol
-???: You can avoid it by drifting, so why the water cannon?
-A perfect free-to-play game that doesn't require any equipment lol
Lee Kyung-bok laughed at the flood of chatter and lightly clapped his hands.
"Good. Let's go out and figure out what to do with these blueprints. We've already explored all the way up to the fifth room. I think all that's left is to progress the story."
Turning his attention, he pointed to the end of the passage. Unlike the doors he'd seen so far, located on either side of the passage, there was a door as tall as the passage itself.
“I think it would be okay to go inside.”
“Right. Then let’s go straight on.”
-No lol Mr. Funnier, take a breather!
-5252, Rest is a luxury for a black company?
-Rather, Perpago said to go first lol
-Ah, that's because they're black employees.
As the two approached the door, a cutscene began as expected.
The protagonist in the switched screen was gasping for breath after cutting down Deep One. He leaned against the wall, seemingly exhausted, and stumbled.
-What's with the sudden sense of alienation?
-Is this everyday life on Godple Broadcast?
-Right, lol. It's normal for Godple play and cutscene play to be different!
-The system in this game continues, but the cutscenes don't lol
-Actually, it's well-made because it continues as is. It's not that it was poorly made because it had separate cutscenes prepared.
While the viewers laughed at him, the protagonist took a breath and entered the door.
The interior, which opened with a heavy door sound, was quite spacious, unlike the hallway.
“Where is this…?”
The protagonist entered, wary of his surroundings. After quietly listening, he decided it was safe and raised the crystal high.
-Oh? What is it?
-This isn't the end?
-Stairs found!
-Oh, but the bottom is completely submerged in water?
The water sparkled in blue light. Beneath it, a staircase leading down appeared.
“It’ll be difficult even if I dive.”
But the depth could not be gauged. The protagonist turned around, looking at the stairs.
“I can find something…”
He muttered with a stern expression. His eyes widened, and he approached the wall with hasty steps.
There was a place there where you could put the crystal.
-Oh? What is it?
-Atlantis Tech ON!
-Is this a map?
-Oh, but it's broken in the middle.
Blue light from the crystal stretched along the wall, but some of it seemed to be broken in the middle, as if something was wrong.
The protagonist stepped back to see the whole picture.
“This is definitely…!”
He quickly dug through his pockets and pulled out one of Horatio's records. It was a map that didn't match the nautical chart, but now it was different.
“Here it is. This map shows the ruins…!”
He spoke, looking back and forth between Horatio's records and the blue-tinted map.
But Lee Kyung-bok and the viewers were surprised for a different reason: the map of the ruins, which should have been unfamiliar, felt strangely familiar.
“Hey everyone, is it just me who thinks this looks like a route map?”
-Oh lol I thought the same thing when I saw it too
-Is this the exact route map?
-Wow… This ruins looks like a station from Atlantis.
-It feels like underwater public transportation
-It's not a subway, but maybe something like an underwater railway?
-This is just something the developer wants to know ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Strangely enough, everyone except the protagonist guessed the identity. It was clear that this was the developer's intention.
“Then this center might be Atlantis.”
The protagonist looked at the route map with a serious expression. In its center, unlike anywhere else, a particularly large symbol was drawn.
"If I follow this map, I might find it. But to do that, I need to fill in this section…"
The problem was that the intermediate connection was unknown. But the protagonist wasn't disappointed.
Instead, he nodded with an expectant expression.
“Maybe we can fill in the gaps in other manufacturing devices.”
-Oh lol I see
-You happened to have a detection device, too?
-The situation just fell into place lol
-The story is unfolding smoothly, Imariya.
-Is it possible that Godfather also discovered underwater public transportation and is still alive?
-Please do thatㅠㅠㅠ
The viewers were relieved to see him. Lee Kyung-bok had to focus elsewhere.
'This isn't just a passing cutscene.'
The threat from below was growing stronger. And it wasn't just one, but many.
'It's not Deep One, it's a new enemy.'
To that extent, it was different from Deep One. Soon, the situation in the cutscene also changed.
-?
-What is it?
-The water is rising?
-Huh? There's a flood trap here too?
Water was slowly rising from the submerged stairs. Soon, the screen shifted to a perspective where it seemed as if someone was spying on the protagonist.
While the viewers were confused, the main character soon realized the change.
"water?"
The sound of rushing water made him involuntarily step back. With a sloshing sound, a torrent of water crashed into the spot where he had been.
“What…!”
It wasn't just a simple stream of water. The wall was shattered, debris flew out, and the route map disappeared.
The protagonist quickly drew his weapon and dodged. Meanwhile, the sound of rushing water began to be heard from all around.
His gaze naturally turned to where the sound of water was coming from.
“Where are you…!?”
The Sea Witch, 'Sea Witch'.
Emerging from the water were monstrous creatures with heads resembling octopuses and squid. Surprisingly, they were wielding crystal-embedded firearms with their tentacles.
“You said you could use magic, but now I understand.”
The protagonist nodded, as if finally understanding. He then took a determined look and took a deep breath.
The cutscene ended with him.
-What about the live octopus men?
-Hey, Mr. Kim! Quick, bring me the soy sauce!
-5252, Are you planning on playing with water guns? LOL!
-No, if it's to that extent, it's for industrial use lol
-What is it? Give us that gun too!
The C-12s fired high-pressure water cannons at the cover where Lee Kyung-bok and Park Joo-ho were hiding. Like a laser, the cannons were blasted away, scattering debris.
The two men immediately returned fire and analyzed the situation.
"The water keeps rising. It seems like there's a time limit."
“Oh, it’s not just about being pressed for time, there’s also a penalty.”
-Penalty?
-Oh, right. F*ck, if the gun gets wet, you can't use it!
-If I go later, it'll be difficult to move, right?
-???: There's no time to hesitate! (Really)
-In the meantime, our brother got a one-shot, one-kill lol
Lee Kyung-bok reduced the number of seed positions with precise aim, but the problem was the loading time.
“Hmm, it takes about 10 seconds to reload once.”
"I guess it's because it's basic equipment. Time is tight, so I should have brought the equipment with me…"
Viewers also sympathized with Park Joo-ho's words.
-Isn't this what you'd expect from a level of difficulty?
-What would be different if you tried a different difficulty?
-Yeah, I went to Easy but it just came out as Deep One
-Oh, it's hard mode, so the sea witch came out?
-I didn't know even though I was playing the game lol
-No lol In the first place, there are almost no people who push the story and play on the highest difficulty lol
-What is system maintenance? LOL
-But seriously? Don't they have infinite recharge?
-Can I clear it with basic equipment?
While the viewers were worried, Lee Kyung-bok spoke to Park Joo-ho.
"If we just use guns, we won't be able to keep time. We'll have to go into close combat."
“Close combat against that thing?”
“Hey, it’s okay. You’re bulletproof, so you won’t die.”
It was a decision made with processing speed in mind, including the reload time. It was more certain to kill with a sword.
-???: It's okay, I'm not dead
-Looks like the man's will is coming out first lol
-???: Oh my god, you b*tches, come out
-???: Are you sure you're not going to die? lol
-???: Then why don't you die?
-But it seems like Godple really won't die lol
Park Joo-ho's eyes shook rapidly. He nodded, seemingly convinced, before asking again.
“But what about you? Even for you, it would be difficult if the water got colder.”
Before I knew it, the water had risen to below my knees. Just moving forward was becoming quite tiring.
"no way…"
Soon, his eyes opened wide as if something had occurred to him.
“Really a friend shield?”
Lee Kyung-bok laughed at that, then replied with a playful expression.
“I did think about it, but it’s inefficient because it’s harder to change direction while holding you.”
-Did you keep it in your heart, Mr. Punisher? LOL
-It exploded at an unexpected point, s**tㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-As expected, it's the official Pidori answer, right?
-omg!
-???: I had a feeling since you gave me the bulletproof vest!
-But is there another way?
-Are you just trying to use it as bait instead of a shield?
-Oh lol, is there any chance of becoming a king?
While the viewers were laughing and guessing what Park Joo-ho's purpose was, Lee Kyung-bok urged them on.
"No time to explain. Just do one serving. I'll be out when you give me the signal."
"I get it."
"…now!"
At his signal, the two men simultaneously dashed to either side, diverging the target's sights to either side.
-??????
-omg?
-What the heck lol
-This guy is really cool lol
Amidst the torrent of gunfire from the seed position, viewers were amazed at Lee Kyung-bok's response.
No, from the beginning, I could only see Lee Kyung-bok. It was because he was radiating light.
Because of this, most of the shots from Mr. C's position were focused on him. But none of them could harm Lee Gyeong-bok.
-Wow lol he uses that as a shield
-No;;; How do you block it with that?
-(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)
-What about reaction speed and accuracy!
-The way the water splashes and sparkles is so cool lol
-The bright lights completely envelop me?
-But the crystal doesn't break?
Lee Kyung-bok precisely blocked the water stream with the crystal in his hand. The water droplets scattered in all directions, mingling with the crystal's blue light.
Lee Kyung-bok jumped up and stabbed one of the seed positions with a cutlass.
“You haven’t forgotten, have you?”
He smiled as he leisurely blocked the high-pressure water shot at him again.
“Quest items are not lost.”
The crystal he holds is essential for the story's progression. Therefore, the crystal is unbreakable.
No, it can't be broken.
“If you don’t have bulletproof vest, you can use this.”
In other words.
-Absolutely. Defend.
-Huh? Shouldn't you be able to match that first?
-Oh my gosh lol Who would think of using that as a room item lol
-So, I found out that the developer gave the room item to the non-paying player?
-What about Atlantis' technological prowess?
This meant that the crystal's defense power was infinite.
-Can only Perfect Free-to-Play be used?
-Huh? If the wearing conditions are fuzzy, isn't that too harsh?
-Hey, lol, this isn't about Atlantis's technology being superior, it's about Godple's technology being good!
Of course, if you can use it to the fullest extent.
