Episode 420 – Heist Score (2)
After the broadcast, the Purge Day fan cafe. It was late at night, but the atmosphere was completely festive.
[Our Godple, it's Wolkle!]
[Achieving world number one on the first try, that's common sense, right?]
[This is real PPL lol]
[A class that advertises its name to the whole world lol]
[I will never forget the sacrifice of Sensei Qdariㅠㅠ]
As usual, the bulletin board was filled with comments about Lee Kyung-bok's broadcast.
Most of it was about the last episode of this broadcast, Lee Kyung-bok's world number one record for steel snails.
However, it is not the case that the story is all about Lee Gyeong-bok.
[It was a stroke of genius that I joined Denunna today lol]
[If it weren't for the merger, I would never have done the Qdari quest lol]
[Denunna Snowball ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ]
[I think King Jikji would have gotten first place even if he had used a weapon lol]
[If only I hadn't used a pistol, I wouldn't have been able to win first place with such an overwhelming gap.]
The merger with Decibel led to Qdari's quest, which contributed to achieving an overwhelming score.
Accordingly, viewers very happily accepted the merger with Decibel.
[Denunna did pretty well today lol]
[Ah haha I now understand why the Sibeloms are lying to you]
[Dennuna has great potential, but she works hard and is really great lol]
[Is that the decibel level at which you shot the real Nukki Shot?]
[Smoke that has completely changed its beginning and ending!?]
[Little Stork's growth rate was torn apart lol]
There were also quite a few posts purely praising Decibel, as she had shown so much on this show.
[Isn't there a chance that Denunna will come in on the Purge Day?]
[Wow ㅋㅋ If you even come to Denunna, the combination will be crazy]
[The perfect Godful, the chivalrous Ikle, the stern and conscientious disciple Denunna]
[Wow lol there's no overlap]
[If these 4 people combine, you'll hit the jackpot with the invincibility rights]
Some fans fantasized about her joining the crew, but that was short-lived, as others quickly stopped them.
[No talk about joining the crew]
[Really lol, that's something the three of you need to figure out yourself]
[Oh, I can't help but feel burdened when writing like this!]
[This won't work!]
[Student^^ Do it yourself]
[Look at how crispy the old bees are lol]
As it was originally based on Genome's fan cafe, many of its members have witnessed the rise and fall of various crews.
Thanks to this, the related topic quickly died down, and then a tip surfaced that caught the fans' attention.
[Percaso fan art has been released lol]
Percasso.
It was a familiar name to fan cafe members.
[Why is this happening?]
[Oh my gosh, the work speed is really crazy]
[Weren't you working on an emoticon?]
[The founder of Gemalcon, Su-beom lol]
He was the one who gave the initial Gemalcon to Lee Kyung-bok and is now the official emoticon creator.
He originally had a separate nickname, but changed his name because fans called him Percasso.
Members quickly moved to the fan art board.
[I can't resist the world's best fan art!]
It wasn't hard to find, as it was the most recently uploaded fan art. The number of views was literally skyrocketing.
Fans who soon saw the contents could not hide their surprise.
[-?????]
[-Oh my gosh lol I didn't expect dot fanart lol]
[-Wassi Percasso, do you know how to do dots too?]
[-Everyone is spreading the word except me lol]
[-I guess this is what it takes to work with Godple]
I thought it was just cute SD fan art in his usual style, but this time he expressed it with dot graphics to fit the game.
Fans left pleasant comments about him.
[-It's so easy, right? What is it? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-Look at how the master expressed it properly lol]
[-They really look like a black company because they keep getting hidden items from behind!]
[-Denunna, go straight to Doomsday lol]
[-Anyone can tell that this helmet is Doomsday!]
[-This is really done with Deathguy lol]
Fans who left comments with recommendations were soon surprised again: there was another piece of fan art that had recently been uploaded.
[Respecting the world's number one hidden hero]

That too was Percasso's work.
Decibel was seen apologizing while scattering flames, and next to him was a character with the letter Q engraved on it.
Whether it was because of the fire or something else, the letter Q was very red, and behind it stood a dentist with a smiling eye.
There was no fan who didn't know what it meant.
[-Wow! This is real modern art!]
[-NewbieㅋㅋㅋPlease help meㅋㅋㅋ]
[-The dentist is really annoying lol]
[-I can't imagine a world without Q-Dari anymore…!]
[-As expected from a master of fan art?]
[-Shouldn't this be printed out in a frame and given to Qdari as a gift?]
[-Then I guess I'll have to get the implant done with Orihalcon lol]
The fan cafe became even more lively with laughter-filled comments.
But the festival didn't end there.
[Metagamer PPL Officially Recognized Article Released!]
New information has been posted on the fan cafe.
But the fans' reaction was lukewarm.
[Oh lol this time breaking news is number 1?]
[Didn't you come up somewhere else first last time?]
[Metagamers have become lax these days, Imariya]
[Isn't this about Steel Snail being number one in the world?]
I assumed they'd reported the content of today's broadcast verbatim. However, the reactions of those who returned after checking the content were completely different.
[Wow, the metagamer class isn't going anywhere lol]
[5252, I believed you!]
[The only place that has news related to Godple is Metagamer lol]
[Wow lol isn't this a real reporter?]
[Really lol are you saying that I'm just writing down dictation?]
[I only read Metagamer when it comes to real webzines lol]
Even fans who had been indifferent to the news couldn't contain their curiosity and flocked to the Metagamer website. And those who read the article couldn't help but leave comments.
[-Denden Town records also officially recognized!?]
[-Hahaha, there was also a place called the Arcade High Score Association]
[-Wow lol Then how many people are ranked #1 in the world right now lol]
[-What? Why are you really targeting PPL worldwide?!]
[-Ah, reporter, I'm disappointed… There are so many typos in the article.]
[-What's the typo? It's all correct.]
[-Isn't it Highest Score, not High Score?]
[-Ah haha, I have to use superlative expressions because it will never change again]
[-match]
Fans were anticipating the good news.
[If the arcade powerhouse had become King Jeong, it would have been over lol]
[Is there going to be chaos on Twitter in Japan right now?]
[Translation Wagon, help me!]
[Please respond quickly!]
The response in Japan will also be considerable.
* * *
Japanese Tweety.
Arcade gamers united and shared one tweet.
[DenDen_Arcade_Center]
Arcade High Score Association Certification Complete! The record of the century, "PPL," has been officially listed! We sincerely congratulate streamer Purple for setting this record!
[We look forward to streamer Purple's return. We've marked the device where this record was made, so we hope many of you will visit! (Photo)]
It was an official tweet from Denden Town Arcade Center. The attached photo showed a Gemalcon sign attached to a device with PPL.
Below that were answers from countless arcade gamers.
Ah, justice has triumphed! It was worth the effort!
[AHA guys! This is working! Do you realize that PPL is the history of arcade games?]
[This is a case that perfectly illustrates the association's purpose. I haven't been visiting arcade centers much lately, but it makes me want to go back (laughs)]
[Hey, I can finally feel at ease. What should I say? I was worried that an unexpected accident would erase my PPL record.]
[Denden Town Center Manager: Wow, this is too obvious! Are you aiming for a Perfect Tour special?]
"Ugh, couldn't you have delayed the announcement a bit? I was planning on going this weekend! If I did, there'd be a ton of people!"
As the news spread and Lee Kyung-bok's Japanese fans heard about it, Denden Town Arcade Center posted another tweet.
[DenDen_Arcade_Center]
[We'd like to inform you about using DJ PRO in the 3rd floor rhythm game zone. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of people who are playing by investing money in multiple devices.]
[This type of behavior is strictly prohibited as it interferes with the play of other guests.]
It seemed like a simple user guide, but it was also shared by arcade gamers and fans.
It was because of the tweet added below.
[If you want to replicate the playstyle of PS streamer Purple, earn the respect of others with your skills.]
Like Lee Kyung-bok, he wanted to take over the entire DJ PRO space. Denden Town was already aware of his intentions.
[Hey hey hey, are you serious? www The Denden Town Center Manager is pretty good!]
"Wow, is this an attitude befitting the holy land where the world's number one has passed? You've done a great job! I will make sure to visit you soon."
[Ah, this is the 'gamer's pride' that money can't buy. It's burning brightly!]
[No, no, did you really think you could buy that emotion with money? Are you really that stupid?
[Purple C's play, you say? It was cool because it was revered by other gamers, right? It's not something AR can replicate, right?]
[Wow! This tweet makes me want to watch it again! I'm going to watch Purple C's video again!]
While the Denden Town Arcade Center account was in the spotlight, an unexpected account caught the attention of fans.
[Kani_Heaven_Tottori]
[Please note: This store does not sell "Kaniuma Donburi." We are unable to accommodate requests for the crab meat to be shaped like a horse.]
[Please note that the menu pictured below is a menu created 'by hand' by the customer. (Photo)]
It was the account of a crab restaurant that Lee Gyeong-bok had visited in Tottori Prefecture.
A scene from Lee Kyung-bok's broadcast was attached along with the instructions.
[Hey, hey, is this real? There's actually someone ordering this!?]
[I burst out laughing as soon as I saw it www How many were there if they even made an announcement on the official account?!]
"Hah?! Shunko, as a Purple-san fan, I can't tolerate this! This is a nuisance to the store! Where the hell do you live, and who are you? These idiots?!
[No, no, whoever ordered this is definitely not a Purple C fan! You can tell just by watching the video, right? This is the work of fools who only saw the photos.
[Well, I guess you could misunderstand just by looking at the photos, right? No, no, the quality of the sculpture is incredible. You can't help but mistake this for the work of a professional.
[Ah, a pro is a pro. Isn't this a work of art created by Mr. Purple's sculptor? Even as a store, this is embarrassing. We can never reproduce it.
The unexpected incident sparked a conversation. They all began posting their own tweets.
[Speaking of Mr. Purple's sculptor, I heard that he signed a contract with Kokukiya to release Perfect Goods!]
[Hey, Gokukiya, you're doing pretty well, aren't you? A collaboration with Purple-san!]
"Ah, Gokukiya is definitely convenient. It's a direct store, so it'll be easy to find. Purple-ssi, the perfect choice, huh?"
Pugmalion's story soon led directly to goods.
[Also, signing a contract means you're now preparing the goods? How long will it take for them to actually go on sale?]
[I'm already prepared to wait three months for Shop Fandom's delivery! It'll probably be faster than that, right?!]
Everyone knew it would take time, but their curiosity grew.
For fans of Lee Kyung-bok, regardless of nationality, there was nothing they could do.
* * *
Around the same time, Pugmalion's house.
“Ugh…”
She emerged from the capsule and stretched. Stretching her aching body, she felt a sense of fatigue.
But an even greater sense of pride welled up in my heart.
'Fortunately, all the modeling is finished.'
Original figures passed the meeting. This was thanks to the completion of character models for Lee Kyung-bok, Park Joo-ho, and Choi Byung-hoon.
'It's definitely a different speed than carving it yourself.'
In the past, when making figures, you had to carve them yourself, but now it's different.
Since I wasn't making it on my own, I had to send the modeling files to Kokukiya, so I used a program from the beginning.
'Virtual reality modeling is convenient.'
Since I wasn't making a real thing, it was easy to work on and modify, and there were fewer worries.
Moreover, her working conditions have also changed significantly.
'Now that I'm no longer a job seeker, I have more time to spend.'
Previously, I had to devote considerable time to organizing my portfolio, writing my resume, and preparing for interviews to secure a job. In the meantime, I took the time to create a figurine for Nae-kyung Bok, so it took a long time to deliver it.
But now that I've officially joined Team Perfect, the time-consuming job preparation process is no longer necessary.
'They say that when you do something you like, you can concentrate better.'
She was able to devote all that time to her work, and it was something she wanted to do herself.
All the environments and processes, including herself, were in harmony. Thanks to this, the work speed was dramatically accelerated.
“Oh, this is driving me crazy…”
Pugmalion laughed and wiped his face. He was tired from just finishing work.
'I want to make a dot version figure.'
Her inspiration was unstoppable, as she could watch Lee Kyung-bok's broadcasts from her capsule even while working.
'I think dot graphics can be expressed as mini blocks.'
What emerged was a new type of block figure that fans could make themselves by assembling blocks one by one, unlike regular figures.
'If I just pick the finished design and design it, the company will calculate the number of blocks, right?'
The swirling inspiration was unstoppable. A plan formed in Pugmalion's mind in an instant.
"If we collaborate with Percasso, we can produce an original design. Then there won't be any copyright issues and we can release it quickly."
To avoid wasting his overflowing inspiration, he had no choice but to quickly capture it. Pugmalion quickly documented the inspiration that came to him.
'I should show it to you at the meeting.'
After briefly organizing her thoughts, she turned her gaze again. She was trying to achieve what she called "a career that matches one's interests," but in the end, work was still work.
'I'm sure you'll like it if I show you this too, right?'
She still hadn't stopped her 'obsession'. A new modeling file appeared next to the completed figure modeling.
But it wasn't a figure. It was a design she started because she wanted to, even though no one asked her to.
'I guess it would be okay to leave it up to the shop fandom, but…'
This was the concept design for this pop-up store.
'Fans know what they like.'
Pop-up store.
It was a place for fans, a place of fans, and a space created by fans.
