The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 449

Episode 449 – Welcome to Purple Office (1)

morning.

For Genome, it was a completely different broadcast time slot than usual. And the number of viewers was also extraordinary.

“Oh my, welcome, shareholders!”

As soon as the broadcast started, the viewership began to skyrocket, quickly surpassing the tens of thousands.

-underground!

-Chuha!

-What? Why isn't this a tardiness briefing!?

-You lied to me!

-Where is this?

-Are you at the department store already?

-Which point is it?

-Oh my gosh lol I can only see this guy's face lol

Questions pour in along with the greeting.

However, Genome did not panic and calmly led the broadcast.

"Okay, I've arrived at the department store. It's not opening time yet, but I can still enter. Why? Because I'm a Purple Office employee today!"

-What are the employee benefits!

-But why are you talking like a Jjajangmyeon chef? Lol

-That's exactly the tone, seriously lol

-Hey, lol, that toast and coffee lol

-Is this Tier One Toast?

-Looking at the packaging, it looks right lol

-This is why I came early!

Genome confidently held up a toast as the chatter was busy.

"No, what's the big deal? Of course I can't deny it, but I'm a subscriber, so I can accept it! Anyway, employees usually have to get ready before the opening, so they have to come in early. Hey, it'd be weirder if customers and employees came to work together."

While the viewers laughed at those words, Genome turned the camera. The interior of the restaurant, still unopened, was shown.

And then I saw the road leading to the movie theater and the hotel respectively.

“Now, as you can see, the place I’ll be working today is the Gangnam branch!”

He added with a satisfied expression as he revealed the branch.

"Oh, but this food truck is really great for promotional purposes. It really stands out when you exit the terminal. As expected, pro gamers are incredibly good at choosing their locations."

-Oh my gosh lol what does this have to do with anything lol

-I see you're already starting to drive lol

-But hyung? Shouldn't you go to the Sinchon branch?

-King! I want to work less!

-5252, did you ask me to move to the more comfortable side again? LOL!

-I think there are more people in Sinchon lol

-Ah haha I was looking forward to meeting the heavy hitters haha

Genome immediately shook his head at the viewers' teasing.

"Hey, what's the crowd count? No matter where you go right now, it's packed. Don't you know Purple Office? It's where all the Koreans come from."

Soon he stopped dead in his tracks and let out an exclamation of admiration.

“Wow, seeing it in an advertisement and seeing it in person are definitely different.”

The camera then returned and captured the Purple Office, now fully revealed with the curtain removed.

At the same time, the chat window also quickly popped up.

-Oh what the heckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow lol It's bigger than I thought?

-Were you using the entire event venue?

-Is there a better place than the advertisement?

-Is this perfect reality? What is the reality I knew?

-No lol If you watch it with a handycam, it's like this lol

-Wow lol I guess I have to do this somehow?

As the praise piled up quickly, Genome smiled as if it were his own business and approached closer.

"Okay, here's the sign. This is the branch office! Let me show it to you, shareholders!"

Genome read and summarized the sign erected next to the entrance to Purple Office.

"Now, as you can see, video is being recorded inside during the operating period. So, what does that mean when you come in? I'll consider it consent to use your portrait rights. Why? Because the video might be uploaded to Shopfandom or PerTube. You absolutely must not assume that you're allowed to film inside."

It was a notice regarding filming and the use of portrait rights. Of course, consent wasn't unilaterally forced.

"But still, what about portrait rights? For those people, if you look over here, they're distributing masks. Wow, these are good masks. Can you see the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety logo on them?"

-If you don't have something like this, you might get criticized later lol

-Really lol, it might just make things worse

-But you blocked it in advance, right?

-It's a shop fandom after all!

-You have a good sense lol

-Does filming mean you'll post the story later on YouTube!?

-Banggu Seok's pertube debut!?

-If you have a conscience, let's filter ourselves with masks^^

Genome immediately went inside and set up the camera.

“I’ll change into my uniform first, so please take a look.”

He entered the staff room inside the cash register.

-Hey? Are you gone?

-Hehehe! You idiot!

-Ah haha I can finally see it well

-It's good that the broadcast is clean^^

-Immediately. Pleasantly.

-Can't we just broadcast it like this? (I really don't know)

-That bastard just meddles!

-Ah haha actually the camera is the main body haha

The viewers who had been playfully teasing Genie soon expressed their admiration.

-Wow, the interior is really pretty.

-It's on a different level from games lol

-There are quite a lot of goods lol

-This is the real deal, lol

-Really ㅋㅋ Even if I can't buy it, I'll probably buy it all from Shop Fandom

-Ah, I'd be happy just looking around here.

-Wow, my genome is here

-Put it up!

-Loyalty, loyalty^^7

-zero

-car

-zero

-car

-Nothing⋯ happened!

As soon as Genome came out wearing his uniform, viewers quickly started chatting.

“Wow, I didn’t expect this, but the fabric is really nice. It really doesn’t look like a product, it looks like regular clothing.”

Fortunately(?), Genome was more interested in the uniform than the chat. When he explained it with a slogan, the viewers immediately responded.

-Oh my gosh lol the difference in fit is really obvious lol

-This guy also works out a lot so he's in good shape lol

-Is this definitely an advertisement that wins?

-It's not an advertisement, but it's a perfect fit?

-Really lol the comparison is too much

Genome grabbed the camera. I thought he'd respond as usual, but this time it was different.

“Hey, I really have to admit it.”

As question marks piled up in the chat window, Genome turned his head to the side.

“Can I appear on TV?”

“Huh? Oh, I’m fine.”

"me too."

“Are both G-Tube and Pertube coming up?”

“Oh, I’m a little nervous… I’ll wear a mask.”

His question was met with responses from other employees. A moment later, the screen displayed the colleagues who would work with Genome.

“Tha!”

"hello!"

“No, what is it? It looks so natural.”

“It feels strange. I was the one who was originally looking at it.”

The viewers were amazed by their shy greeting.

-?????????

-Oh my gosh lol

-You're a t-shirt! You're a t-shirt! You're a t-shirt!

-What? You pick employees based on their looks?

-Oh lol. There was no need to attach a photo to the application form?

-Why are you such a perfect viewer!

-How can these people do this?

-Ah haha I was the only one being serious again!

-But if you're applying for a part-time job like this, it's true that the ratio of popular kids is high lol

-Purple Office staff know how to use Deceptive Breath, isn't that common sense?

-Hyung? I think you can really go off screen!

-Right, lol. It might actually create a sense of discomfort.

Handsome man and beautiful woman.

They were tall and handsome people who could be summarized in four letters.

"Hey, what's wrong with me? Should I try to establish some discipline? Should I go to the audio broadcast?"

When Genome got overly worked up, the other employees burst out laughing.

Hello, employees. Five minutes before opening time, an announcement will be made. Employees, please prepare promptly and greet customers with a cheerful smile and a neat demeanor.

An announcement began to be made in the auditorium. The atmosphere changed with it.

“Oh, it’s opening.”

“Ugh, I’m nervous.”

“Okay, okay, let’s all do our best today! Fighting!”

“Fighting!”

As the employees found their seats, Genome raised his voice.

-Oh my gosh lol What the heck is this baseless fighting shit lol

-Incompetent Senior Special) Just shouting "Fighting!"

-He followed along in the meantime lol

-What? Are you an angel?

-It's finally open!

-Oh my gosh, I'm so nervous

-Maybe it's a good thing it fell?

Viewers were also nervous about this.

Genome tried to make him feel relaxed by choosing his words, but he ended up becoming more nervous.

"What? Why am I getting sponsored?"

It was thanks to the familiar sound effect.

I had explicitly blocked sponsorships for fear of them interfering with my work. But the fact that they've come in means my manager has given me permission.

As expected, the sponsor was someone who would do such a thing.

['Perfect Play' donated 10,000 won!]

[Mr. Ji, I'm watching you. Please straighten up.]

-??????

-Huh? Is that real?!

-Oh my gosh, really?

-???: Dad isn't sleeping

-Black company special) Monitor employees with CCTV

-And the black company's actions come out right away?

-What the heck is remote coaching!

Viewers who had seen it a beat earlier burst into laughter. Genome immediately responded with a comment.

"Oh my, the boss is checking on my spinal health again! He's definitely not monitoring me! Of course not, our boss isn't the kind of person to do that!"

“Wow, Purple, are you watching too?”

“Boss! I’m a fan!”

“I will work hard!”

“It’s such an honor to work at Purple Office!”

The surrounding employees also chimed in with a comment. Lee Kyung-bok's response came back.

['Perfect Play' donated 10,000 won!]

[Please keep a close eye on the employee so he doesn't do anything else lol]

-Ugh ke …

-Perfect is here!

-Is there a boss who trusts part-time workers more than regular employees?

-If that employee is a jerk, then it makes sense, Imari, lol

– Black corporate CEO special) Encouraging internal conflict

-5252, was this also a historical fact?

-This guy also has a secretly playful side lol

The viewers and other staff members burst into laughter. Genome responded in an exaggeratedly resentful tone.

"Hey, boss. You know I work hard, right? Boss? Boss?!"

The sponsorship never came back.

It was thanks to Lee Kyung-bok's ability to read Genome's intentions. Ignoring him would have been more effective. In fact, the chat room erupted in even louder laughter.

"Oh, this won't work. I'll prove it to you today. Seriously."

The tension had long since disappeared. Natural smiles settled on the faces of Genome and the other employees.

“Okay! Let’s properly welcome the shareholders!”

* * *

Around the same time, Seo Young-seon's office.

“All of our commercial videos have surpassed 1 million views.”

She was receiving a report from her secretary on the performance of this commercial video.

“Follower numbers also increased at an unprecedented rate across all four branches.”

The original report was supposed to be plain.

But the secretary confidently added the adjective 'unusual'.

Because it was true.

“Our official account followers are now just over 800,000, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Seo Young-seon smiled brightly as she examined the data projected as a hologram.

"Sinchon, Gangnam, Daegu, Busan. All four now have 900,000 people. Previously, outside of Sinchon, they didn't even exceed 400,000."

“Yes, we surpassed the number of followers on our official account within a day of posting the ad.”

The secretary said this and adjusted his glasses.

"Of course, it's unlikely this follower count will remain the same. Some customers will unfollow me after this event ends."

"Yes. Even taking that into account, it's a pretty encouraging result."

Although it would be nice if the number of followers increased, what Seo Young-sun considered more important was the change in followers' attitudes rather than the number.

"You took the trouble to follow me even though there was no follow requirement. This is significant. It means that at least 500,000 more people have a positive view of Aurora Department Store."

It was the result Seo Young-sun had hoped for.

That much allowed her to pinpoint the situation accurately.

"But this is an image borrowed from Purple. It will only last as long as the collaboration continues."

She put the materials away and looked at the secretary behind her.

"We need to solidify the positive image we've gained during this period. You know how to do that, right?"

“We will take care to ensure that no noise is generated during the operation period.”

"That's right. With such high fan loyalty, if anything goes wrong, they'll hold us accountable. The blame will fall on the shop fandom, but since they also have deep ties to Purple, we'll be more easily exposed."

Seo Young-seon summarized it like that and asked the question again.

“I’m sure you’ve made sure to deploy security personnel, right?”

"Yes, as soon as we confirmed the formation of the Open Run waiting line yesterday, we notified each branch. We have deployed security personnel intensively at each event site."

“Okay. Thanks for your hard work.”

Luxury or limited edition open runs are now so commonplace they're practically newsworthy. While the types vary, I've had my fair share of experience dealing with them.

'Moreover, since they are young friends, their enthusiasm may come first.'

Some guests even got hurt while rushing. Lee Kyung-bok's fandom is dominated by people in their 20s, so he had to be especially careful.

“Excuse me, boss?”

“Why is that?”

“I just got a report…”

The secretary's expression showed that she didn't quite understand. Seo Young-sun narrowed her eyes at him.

Is there a problem?

“Has the situation become serious enough to require an ambulance?”

“Huh? Oh, no. It’s quite the opposite.”

"the opposite?"

"They say there's no problem at all. So, they asked if we could readjust the personnel allocation."

Only then did Seo Young-sun's expression change to resemble her secretary's. She immediately moved her hand to check the status of each pop-up store on the CCTV. When she rewinded the video to just after the opening, this was the screen that appeared.

“This is… quite impressive.”

Usually, as soon as the door opens, people start running like they're in a race. When someone starts running, the other people waiting follow suit in a fit of urgency.

But Lee Kyung-bok's fans were different.

“You’re just standing in line, waiting to get in…”

Everyone was thrilled as the store opened. When someone clapped, everyone cheered and headed toward the pop-up store.

They were all dressed in the same clothes and marching in a single file, so if someone who didn't know them saw them, they would have thought it was a parade.

“Oh, I guess I’ll have to revise my evaluation again.”

Seo Young-seon laughed at him.

It hadn't been long since I'd changed my opinion of Lee Kyung-bok, but I never thought the moment would come when I would have to admit that I was wrong again.

'All for one person.'

All those people were suppressing their greed and thinking about Lee Kyung-bok's image.

'I guess I'll have to look at this for a bit longer.'

Lee Kyung-bok had a stronger influence than Seo Young-seon expected.

* * *

There was someone who was most touched by the sight of fans visiting the pop-up store.

'I knew there wouldn't be a problem, but…'

Lee Kyung-bok was impressed by the orderly attitude of fans he saw on Genome's broadcast.

The use of the pop-up store also went smoothly.

<Hyung! If it's okay, can I take a picture?>

<Oh, I'm really busy at work, so is this a special permission?>

Genome playfully teased a fan at the photo zone. However, Genome's fans were no pushovers.

"Brother, why are you there? Come out!"

<Huh? Oh, you're not taking a picture of me?>

The moment Genome was dumbfounded, the shutter sounded.

[-Oh my gosh, I got fooled right away?]

[-Pro T-Soo Su-beonㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Look at the genome skills of the listeners lol]

[-You idiot! You fooled me again!]

[-This is really cute lol]

Not only Lee Kyung-bok, but also the chat window burst into laughter.

"Hey, Miss! If you have a conscience, put a filter on it!"

<I'll think about it! I have to take a picture with Permusae now!>

<Wow… the field workers are the best!>

Genome playfully stuck out his tongue at the sight of the fan disappearing through the exit.

It was while things were continuing so happily.

<Huh? What are you talking about?>

<It's a printing device!>

<Is it broken?>

What should I do!?

A sudden ringing sound drew everyone's attention. A red light and a beeping sound were heard from the souvenir paper certificate printer.

While the staff were flustered, Genome waved his hand.

"It's okay! This is just a paper leak! Don't worry, we'll replace it!"

[-All haha …

[-Ji Temple is finally working!]

[-Oh my gosh, have you been having fun until now? LOL]

[-But have you already changed the paper?]

[-That means a lot of people came lol]

[-The last person to write this must have been shocked lol]

Genome took the lead and replaced the paper. However, the fan's reaction before him was somewhat subtle.

It was a man with his face completely covered by a mask and sunglasses. He turned his head anxiously and hesitated as if about to leave.

No, this isn't broken. It'll come right out.

Genome attributed this behavior to concern about a malfunctioning machine. As soon as the paper was replaced, the pre-entered paper certificate was printed.

Because it is printed from the bottom, the amount is captured on the screen first.

[-???????]

[-What the heckㅋㅋㅋㅋ Over 10 million won?]

[-Even if you're a very early listener, it's only been 4 months, so is it worth 10 million won?]

[-Wow, isn't the average monthly income 2.5 million won?]

[-big.hand.back.length]

[-Isn't this an amount that can't be covered by subscriptions and goods alone?]

The amount surprised viewers and even Lee Kyung-bok. But there was something even more surprising.

<No, huh?>

Even Genome, who had considerable broadcasting experience, was momentarily speechless.

This was because the ID written on the paper certificate was familiar to everyone.

That's right.
