Episode 362 – Payment in Yen (1)
There's a saying that to become rich, you have to earn money even while you sleep. Of course, that doesn't mean you have to work while you sleep.
The idea was to build a 'pipeline', a means of making money even when you're not working.
In an era where personal broadcasting is the trend, Qtube was also a leading player in that pipeline.
'Okay, I've roughly got the storyboard.'
Immediately after Lee Kyung-bok's broadcast ended.
In one of his pipelines, the Pertube, another pipe was being built.
A woman wearing a purple Perfect Hoodie smiled at the monitor.
'It's definitely more convenient because you can decide on the editing direction in advance.'
She, Madman, was one of those pipeline producers.
She monitored the work in real time and discussed the editing direction with other team members. Thanks to this, she was able to get started right away.
As a gun enthusiast, the first thing she touched was the battle with the Deep One in the ruins and the scene where she rescued the hostages from Burns, both of which featured muskets.
"…uh?"
Her eyes widened as she separated the video according to the storyboard she had planned.
“Wow, this…”
She was watching the video, applying the frequently used special effect, slow motion, and her mouth fell open in surprise.
Madman let out a hollow laugh.
'The musket wasn't a spontaneous fire?'
Originally, she was particularly interested in modern automatic weapons, especially firearms. That's why she created a video specializing in Gunner Ground.
But since joining Team Perfect, her firearm spectrum has expanded.
It was thanks to Lee Kyung-bok's Royal Desperate Revenge play that I became more interested in firearms from the Wild West.
And now I'm having a similar experience again.
“Musket, musket… Ah, here it is!”
She found the information through her favorite overseas website.
I didn't notice it when I was monitoring it in real time, but when I played it slowly, there were parts that I could see.
“There is a delay.”
The downside of Age of Oceans' firearms wasn't just that they took a long time to reload.
The musket used by Lee Gyeong-bok was a flint lock, ignited with a flint.
Instead of the bullet being ejected as soon as the trigger was pulled, the internal gunpowder had to explode again.
“It’s lock time, so I have to put this in.”
There was a delay called 'lock time' between the trigger and the actual firing.
But no one felt that way during the broadcast. A quick glance through the chat window revealed no related mentions.
Even though the delay is not that long, it is noticeable enough.
There was one reason.
“You can do this.”
Normally, shooting involves aiming at a target and firing. However, Lee Kyung-bok in the video did the opposite.
'I'll pull the trigger first.'
Lee Kyung-bok's fingers moved in slow motion. He lifted the gun, pulled the trigger, and then, with a firm grip, he completed his aim.
Then, the bullets are fired immediately.
The movements continued like flowing water, and neither the viewers nor the monitoring team members noticed at all.
“This is crazy, really.”
Madman felt a thrill.
I thought I was getting used to his skills, but he surprised me again.
During the broadcast, Lee Kyung-bok did not say a word about this.
‘This, this is something the viewers absolutely need to know…!’
It was the editor's job to highlight these points.
She erased the storyboard she'd prepared from her mind. But it didn't matter. A storyboard more suited to Lee Kyung-bok had blossomed into existence.
Madman edited the footage as if possessed. He worked without stopping for a moment, his inspiration taking hold as if he had received a revelation.
"it's okay…!"
Madman breathed a sigh of relief, quickly tapping the save shortcut key. Her eyes widened again as she checked the time.
'What? Is this all that's passed?'
In fact, the work was completed even faster than expected. She quickly sent the edited video to Choi Byung-hoon.
[>???]
[>Is it over already?]
Choi Byeong-hun seemed surprised by the speed. She smiled and sent a text message.
[>This is really awesome lol]
[>Oh, but the editing direction may be a bit different]
[>Then there would be no point in meeting…]
[>I still believe and watch it anyway]
Choi Byeong-hun was briefly offended, but soon decided to trust her judgment.
And that faith was rewarded.
[>Wow lol what is this?]
[>I had no idea lol]
[>It was dark in the ruins, and when rescuing the hostages, the horses were flying around so it seems they couldn't be seen?]
Madman felt proud at the reply he received.
[>Awesome, right?]

[>ㅇㅇ This is a good point]
[>This is seriously awesomeㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[>Upload this right away!]
[>You too, go for the next task]
[>I see lol]
This wasn't the only video she had to work on. She smiled and moved on to the next project.
I was so focused.
[Video uploaded by Perfect Play: 'Shooting and aiming, isn't that shooting?']
A YouTube upload notification message appeared. It was clearly a video she had been working on.
Madman glanced at her and then turned his gaze back to his work.
And then he would go back to work and then look away again.
And finally.
“Should I just wait and see the reaction…?”
Finally, I connected to Pertube.
As she was also a creator, she couldn't help but be curious about the reactions to her creations.
Surprisingly, the most popular video was the membership video. Another surprising aspect was the comments.
[-WTF? It's exactly like the title?]
[-So funny! I thought the editor made a mistake, but no?]
[-lol, Purple changed common sense again!]
[-OMG, the only person in the world who uses a musket like this is Purple.]
[-Damn! I always feel it, but you have incredible reflexes and body control! How can you be so precise with your aim?]
This was because the comments were filled by viewers from North America, not Korea and Japan, where the main advertisers were.
Soon Madman could guess the reason.
'Well, there's a time difference, and Americans are more interested in guns, so the algorithm will probably work well.'
Madman refreshed the comments, savoring the satisfaction. He wasn't the only one who admired Lee Kyung-bok.
[-It's genius! The very idea of reducing lock time like this is genius!]
[-Yup. I can't disagree. In the first place, ordinary people can't even imagine it because it's 'impossible' =P]
[-If there was a captain like Purple, I'd jump on board in a heartbeat! Fighting under the Perfect Marines would be awesome!]
[-My bad, if there was no slow motion, I would have thought the game was poorly anachronistic. It's a pretty great game, isn't it?]
Madman chuckled at the piled-up chat, then shook his head.
'Work, work, work.'
She must not forget her duties as an editor. She immediately closed the window and tried to return to her work.
“No… why is this?”
But then another image caught her eye.
'There are so many comments?'
A video I never expected during a live editing meeting.
'Are there really this many viewers who like fishing?'
It was a video of fishing and eating mackerel.
* * *
At the same time, the community AO meta.
There was a lot of talk about Lee Kyung-bok's broadcast. But surprisingly, fishing was the topic of conversation.
[The sea area where largemouth bass are found.araboza]
[Recommended fishing spots for anglers]
[Can't you make this sauce? I only eat sauce.]
[I want to eat tuna, but where should I go?]
The number of fishing-related posts has increased to the point where someone who doesn't know the community might mistake it for a fishing community rather than a gaming community.
The reason was simple.
[Wow lol it's just like Godple said]
[It wasn't a large fish, I just ate some fish and it was so delicious lol]
[Fishing Speed Run Success!]
[Mch fishing is really easy lol]
[Isn't this actually the main content?]
[Change to Age of Fishing!]
Among the various contents presented by Lee Kyung-bok, fishing had the lowest barrier to entry.
New players who followed him couldn't acquire a five-star sailing ship or successfully raid Pirate Island. Even exploring ruins, a daily dungeon, proved difficult. However, fishing was possible after completing the prologue.
In the midst of the community's uproar, a popular post quickly received recommendations and took the top spot.
[I found a new way to play without paying thanks to Godple!]
It was a title that would pique the interest of both new and existing users, and countless people checked out the content.
[(video)
This is a video of a fishing mukbang that was uploaded on YouTube.
Thanks to this, Ebung changed his arm lol
First of all, if you have parents who are interested in or enjoy fishing, your chances increase.
Fishing is a lot of preparation and costs a lot of money, right? Plus, fishing at a fishing spot or on a boat is dangerous because you can fall into the water if you do it wrong, so it doesn't look good. Lol.
But that's exactly my dad lol
I once fell into the water while fishing, but I couldn't stop so I got cursed at a lot lol
Anyway, I was watching Godple's broadcast today and my dad came in and sat on the bed lol
That was when Godple was fishing, but he just went out after watching the fishing and eating?
So I thought that was it, but then he came back and asked what game it was.
Ah, that's when the idea hit me.
Dad is trying to fish in the game lol
So I stopped it for now lol
Even if you only do this fishing, it costs money to do it properly. As everyone knows, monsters also appear in places where you catch rare fish.
But that's exactly what my dad said.
'Would about 1 million won be enough?'
That's when I came to my senses lol
Anyone who has actually tried fishing knows that it costs quite a bit of money.
Compared to that, paying to fish in the game is like chewing gum lol
This boy immediately changed his stance and became his guide to his father. Lol
I told him that I would help him fish, so he asked me to give him some Pochi when he paid. What happened?
My dad is a cool guy lol
Manner temperature ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ
Thanks to that, I've already secured 300,000 won worth of crystals and I'm on my way back after pulling out the list of fish and explaining it to you.
Besides, you can get items by fishing, right? I'll do that too lol
Other people should definitely try this too, it's a total win-win!]
Those who saw this couldn't help but burst out laughing.
[-Oh my gosh lol what the heck is this free to play ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-What's your parents' chance?]
[-You have manners towards your dad, lol]
[-But if you watch Godple fishing and eating, you might get a little jealous ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-ㄹㅇㅋ I think this might work?]
Surprisingly, everyone seemed to agree on the content itself.
[-It's good for dad because he can go fishing, it's good for Ebung because he can charge, and it's good for mom because she's at home and has peace of mind?]
[-???: It's simple, right? It's the completion of a world where no one gets hurt.]
[-From the parents' perspective, it might be okay to have something to talk about with their children?]
[-It's strangely not bad?]
[-ㄹㅇㅋ At first I thought it was some kind of unfilial child who didn't pay]
[-Ugh lol I'm going to try it with my dad!]
[-It turns out Age of Oceans was a family game!]
[-Advertiser: Is this correct?]
[-Questionable influx of paying usersㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-If you're from the parents' generation, you have a lot of spending power lol]
In a series of events, community users flocked to fishing and mukbang videos.
Of course, I was curious about the reactions of those who actually tried it.
Soon they noticed another change.
[-Oh? What is it? A new emoticon came out?]
[-What the heck is the Gemalcon renewal? LOL]
[-Perfect hoodie, isn't it super cute?]
[-ㅋㅋㅋ I was wondering what the point of an emoticon would be]
[-Hey, it's Godple, Imari!]
It was thanks to the newly applied renewal emoticons that were visible in the comment window.
[-Oh? It applies to Tri too?]
[-I honestly thought this commercial was only good for Japanese viewers lol]
[-Is Korea the first to introduce the new product?]
[-Perfect Early Access What?]
[-King God's original smugness lol]
* * *
Japanese Tweety.
Along with the sharing of Lee Kyung-bok's clip video, news of the emoticon renewal was also delivered.
[Huh? Huh? Kaniumacon changed? Super Kaniumacon came out!]
[Hey-! That hoodie is so cute! But where can I get this emoticon? Don't you get it when you log into the game?]
[Hey, isn't this hoodie from the Metal Punch contest? The design is pretty even when you look at it as an emoticon.
[Haruka is devastated! The new Kaniumacon can't be used as an emoticon! NEVER! Seriously, really disappointing!]
[No no www Everyone, sign up for membership www If it's Purple C's dubbing and New Kaniumacon, there's no reason not to do it, right?]
Tweets filled with admiration, envy, and regret for the renewed version spread.
[The Kaniumacon I'm using now is good, though! It's well-written in the logline, though! And it's free, so that's nice, too! Still, I feel like Japan can't beat Korea?]
"Ah, I made a reservation. I've decided to go to Korea next Golden Week! I'll buy Purple C's goods in Korea!"
[Perfect goods, do I have to make Korean friends to get them? No, no, it's rude to make friends with that intention. This is absolutely a severance.
[Hey, hey, are you serious? In this age of virtual reality, you don't offer international shipping? Right next door? Huh? You can do this much, right?!]
[They say Japan is a subculture powerhouse, but I can't seem to find the perfect item (laughs)]
Regret soon began to build into complaints and grievances. But soon, one tweet was shared and retweeted, becoming a viral hit.
[#FANDOM_official]
[@FANDOM_official]
It was the official account for "#Fandom," the Perfect Goods retailer. The content was in Korean, but translation was quick.
[Hello Japan! #FANDOM, the center of K-fandom, is now shipping to Japan! Sign up easily with your NEVER or Qoogle account!]
There was news that sales had begun not only for Japanese fans but also for overseas shipping.
Japanese fans were bewildered. Why the sudden policy change?
But that wasn't the immediate concern.
[Wait a minute! Are you kidding me? I can't get past the login screen.
Stop it! It's over! This fight is over!
[Ah, as expected, there are so many competitors. There are so many people after the perfect goods!]
[Hey, hey, Shunko's been waiting for this, right? Won't you all come out? Shunko's going to be really upset if she doesn't get it!]
I had to place an order because I didn't know when the policy would change again.
