The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 503

Episode 503 – Another Meaning of OTP (1)

After dealing with Leviathan, the members returned to the surface.

“Oh! What? Wasn’t that there originally?”

“It looks like the soldiers are building something?”

“It looks like some kind of tower.”

Engineers and construction equipment were busy working on the outskirts of the base. The structure under construction was so tall it could be seen beyond the outer walls.

"That's right! The research base is expanding! So what is that thing they're building right now? You'll find out in the briefing room!"

Genome naturally led the members to the briefing room. As soon as they entered, a holographic image was projected.

<Ohhhhh! Hello Hellformers! You're safe! Thank you so much! You finally secured Hellfire!>

The agitated members of the assembly clenched their fists, shook them, and applauded. Many were so moved that their eyes turned red.

<We can't tell you how happy we all are to hear this news! Now, no more energy crises, no more destruction! Humanity finally has infinite power! And with it, salvation and peace!>

-Ten's reaction is really good

-Wow! Purge Day, the savior of humanity!

-I just watched and now I feel proud?

-This developer really did a good job with the NPC reactions lol

-Ah haha you have to do this much to feel like a real hero haha

Everyone seemed pleased with the idea, but soon the council members calmed down. Then they spoke with great caution.

But not everything is solved yet. Strange as it may sound, even that infinite power has its limits⋯

Everyone's eyes widened at this. The council members took a deep breath and continued speaking in serious voices.

"Because we can't bring that source, hellfire, to Earth. As Lucifer said, that energy source is not yet within our power. If we're not careful, the North and South Poles could disappear, and the oceans could even evaporate."

“Wow, the Earth might actually be in danger.”

“Hmm, since it was originally from hell, it’s obvious that it would be harmful if placed in a different environment.”

“If this is the case, then I guess I’ll have to leave it in hell for now.”

Earth's environment was not conducive to the use of hellfire. Therefore, a power plant powered by hellfire could only be built in Hell.

<The facility is sufficient for remodeling the research base. The more important issue is that the Great Demons still exist in Hell. Pandemonium, you say? I've received reports that demons are gathering there. They could attack the research base at any time.>

– Since Leviathan is dead, can the other great demons come too?

-Are you saying that the demons are letting go of Gensei?

-Hey lol It's been a while since I've heard from Gensei lol

-Did you say Mammon was the great devil of stinginess?

-ㅇㅇ I don't think they'll ever give you hellfire based on your nickname ㅋㅋㅋ

-It seems a bit stingy, so let's just do it like a bandeng.

-The bandeng's great evil lol

Viewers also understood the concerns expressed by that explanation. But the congressman's concerns didn't end there.

However, given the circumstances, their target likely won't be limited to the research base. Transmission facilities are necessary to transmit the power generated by Hellfire to Earth. The most efficient method would be to use phase devices to establish transmission facilities from the outpost, mining base, and finally the research base.

“Ah! Then, all the areas we cleared will become targets?”

"Besides, Earth and Hell must remain permanently connected. If the portal is closed midway, the supply will be cut off."

“Huh? Then maybe the demons could invade Earth instead?”

The members immediately got to the point. The congressman's subsequent explanation was similar. Soon, the congressman clenched his fist with a determined expression.

<So, we've made a decision. Not passive defense, but an all-out war against hell! To complete the true Hell Formation!>

-WA! Total Warfare!

-???: War! Never war!

-It's better to strike first before the demons gather in Pandemonium.

-Wasn't the first to win rule the national rule, but the global rule?

-Oh lol this is right

-Right now, the Earth is in no position to choose anything.

-If there is no hellfire, it will be destruction anyway, Imari.

Before the demons gather in Pandemonium, we will see the outcome first. That was humanity's decision.

<Once again…! I ask you to lead the Helaformers unit. If you secure territory through Helaforming, we will use all available forces to drive the demons out of Hell!>

Naturally, it all started with Hellapomers. The members nodded as well.

“Oh, we can deal with the Great Demon first and then wipe out the remnants later!”

"Well! If we gather first, the demons won't be able to respond easily."

“Ugh! This means that we humans also know how to properly purge demons.”

“Ah, so it’s confirmed that region 4 will be a pandemonium.”

As the council finished its report, the video cut out. The members exchanged glances and clapped lightly.

"Great! Today, I've cleared all three regions, including the Great Demon, Leviathan!"

“Hmm! I’m excited to see what kind of demons we’ll be fighting in Pandemonium!”

"Looking at it now, it seems like the end of Helaforming is near! I guess even stronger demons will emerge, right?"

"Yes! It's a Manmajeon, just as the name suggests! I think you can look forward to it!"

The viewers had an intuitive feeling about the members' comments.

-A bangjonggak that comes out like a knifeㅋㅋㅋ

-The Purge Day merger is ending, Imaringa?

-The end of Hellaforming? I can't accept it!

-Give me more purge week!

-Sob sob⋯ Today's broadcast was fun⋯

-You're seriously a total idiot lol

-Really lol Especially this time, the perfect synergy was awesome lol

-This member's chemistry is really crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋ

All the members smiled and waved lightly at the chat that was a mixture of satisfaction and regret.

“Thank you for watching today! Our conquest of hell continues tomorrow!”

“See you next time!”

“You all worked hard!”

“Viva Purge Day!”

The broadcast ended with a bright greeting.

Metagamer headquarters.

Reporter Shin Hye-rim lightly pressed enter on her keyboard and stretched.

“I’ve used it all up⋯!”

She finished drafting the article for this broadcast. She stretched her stiff body and then moved her hands again.

'Wouldn't it be better to look at the Hellapomers meta?'

Although she could have just posted the article draft, she preferred to look at the community response and reflect it in the article.

'Purple is good at everything, so it's hard to choose.'

Objective content is important, but since this is an article about 'influencers', it was necessary to highlight points that viewers would like.

'People must have been really surprised?'

Of course, not only as a reporter, but also as a fan, she was curious about the reactions of other people, especially players who enjoy Hellapomers.

She joined the community with a raised eyebrow. The most prominent topic during today's broadcast was…

[Where can I download the Mechapermusae mod?]

[I even applied motion, so how is this a personal production mode?]

[Seriously good quality ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ]

[What does Pugmalion do? LOL]

[Completed in one day, damn it! He's got great hands and his speed is also amazing lol]

[Free distribution of Permusae?! I was the only one who didn't know?!]

[You just installed Age of Oceans, right?]

[I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be an engineer because of Permusae.]

The existence of Mekapermusae, revealed on TV, was completely captivating for veterans, thanks to its quality and its performance on the show.

[What? There was a Korean who didn't receive a Permusae?]

[It wasn't a Korean community, lol]

[Is this the Hellapomers Reddit?]

[It wasn't Galapagos, it was Hellapagos lol]

[Mechapermusae is on the Godple fan page^^]

[You didn't even try to follow, right? LOL]

[Oh lol now that I look at it, it was distributed exclusively to followers]

[Koreans are so natural that you didn't know?]

Rather, a surprising sight unfolded where new fans guided veteran users.

Shin Hye-rim burst out laughing at the untimely nationality controversy(?).

'Oh, but it's true that Hellapomers is a non-mainstream and off-season.'

Although Hellapomers received decent reviews even among cooperative games, it wasn't widely known in Korea. Furthermore, because it wasn't yet due for an update, there weren't many new players.

'There was a reason why it wasn't run separately.'

Metagamer didn't even manage the community professionally. They simply assigned staff to manage it briefly during update seasons.

'⋯Maybe this is actually an opportunity?'

Shin Hye-rim rolled her eyes and then tapped away at the keyboard again. It was a journalist's habit to write down any ideas that came to her mind before they vanished.

'From now on, Purple-related articles will be posted not only on our team but also on the game's community.'

Lee Kyung-bok's games have always been a hot topic. Therefore, his articles could be considered both "influencer" articles and "game" articles.

'The company will benefit from increased overall traffic, the community team will reduce wasted manpower, and our team will also gain some influence within the company.'

Her fingers stopped.

That was enough of an idea to suggest to the company.

"And the videos I include in my articles will probably draw more viewers, right? They'll be a huge help to Purple, too!"

There was no need to reveal her fandom. Shin Hye-rim finished organizing and turned her gaze back to the camera with a bright smile.

Meanwhile, a new article was posted to the community's best.

[<Overseas Breaking News!> Godple has done it again!]

I thought it was some kind of clickbait, but the writer had been consistently translating responses from overseas communities.

“Huh? What is this?!”

From the title to the author, I couldn't resist clicking. Shin Hye-rim's eyes quickly scanned the contents.

“Awesome⋯!”

There was news that Lee Kyung-bok was the first player to hack brains.

[-Muchin ㅋㅋㅋ Are you saying that everything that's uploaded to Q&A is a mod?]

[-This is the first time I've drawn a Godple by pure luck!?]

[-???: Man⋯kai!]

[-Manhae's Godple Classㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Oh my gosh lol. What's wrong with the reddit community exporting it? lol]

[-Is that the Helaformers meta?]

[-Community Nationality Exchange Munyaguut!]

Shin Hye-rim felt dizzy as she looked at the comments that were piling up like mushrooms.

'This is why we need to check the community!'

If she had uploaded the draft as is, she would have missed this news. She quickly added it to the article.

But soon the tall finger stopped.

'Wait a minute… Are you sure about this?'

Her position was different from that of fans who just wanted to have fun.

Fact check!

Articles should always contain only the "facts." The moment even one lie is introduced, the rest of the content loses credibility.

So she immediately opened YouTube and searched.

“Miss… this is driving me crazy!”

Shin Hye-rim frowned, chewing her fingernails.

'Why are there so many videos?'

Although there were few Engineer players, this wasn't a brain hacking video. Since it was possible to extract it with a mod, the slim chance didn't matter.

'I can't check each and every one of these…'

It took too long to review all the videos. In fact, additional videos may have been uploaded while I was reviewing them due to this issue.

However, if I just wrote it, the article's credibility would have decreased, and if I left it out, it would have been a shame to write about it.

The perfect solution…! No need to overthink it!

She opened her eyes wide as she pondered Lee Kyung-bok's words.

The answer was simple.

'Just ask him directly!'

Ask the developers, the ones with the most reliable data. That's the journalist's job.

Shin Hye-rim quickly wrote an email.

"It'll be a shame if I don't get a response by tomorrow, but I'll have to post the article first. I'll report back later if I get a response."

After finishing tidying up, she smiled with a much more relaxed expression.

But some of my concerns were resolved.

"But there's no way they wouldn't give an answer. They create challenges and even provide support, so monitoring is a given."

It was thanks to the confidence in the developer's response.

'Now, Hellaformers can't ignore Purple Nim and Purge Day.'

The developers of Helaformus must have felt the influence of Purge Day and Lee Kyung-bok more than anyone else.

* * *

Meanwhile, the developer of Helaformers.

The three representatives were having a meeting as usual.

“As you can see, Purple’s brain hacking issue is receiving a lot of attention in Korea as well.”

"No, isn't it dawn in Korea? A gaming webzine reporter even emails me at that hour to ask questions?"

"This is truly amazing. It's definitely an unprecedented opportunity."

In the center of the conference room, a message from Shin Hye-rim was displayed. The delighted representatives looked at each other with serious expressions.

“So what’s the result? Did you check all the logs?”

“Since the Lucifer’s Gift update, the number of accumulated logs is quite significant… Is this really the first time?”

“It was a bit sudden, but the confirmation is complete.”

The representative, who had checked the log, nodded slightly while looking at the other two people.

“First time online, for sure.”

If this issue were actually false, the representatives would have been disappointed. It would have been like pouring cold water on a game that was already receiving a lot of attention.

But it wasn't.

“This is…! This is crazy! The odds are one in a million!?”

"Wow, I'm speechless. Purple is literally the first, right? No, even the Helaformers play is the first. He's the true first brain hacking player!"

"And he's really good at brain hacking. Damn, I never thought Purple would use that ability to track down Leviathan!"

All the delegates simultaneously clapped their hands in excitement. One of them snapped his fingers to divert attention.

"This is a revelation. Purge Day is nothing short of a godsend! What are the odds that such a slim chance will ever be realized?"

"It's certainly an unbelievable situation. But we did it! The fact that Purge Day chose our game is proof!"

"Okay, guys! Let's calm down and talk business. We can't afford to miss this valuable opportunity, can we?"

The representatives all nodded with shining eyes.

“I used to think I should have done it from day one, but I think now is the right time.”

“That’s right. This is absolutely not a waste.”

"Okay! So, do you agree to the advertising contract with the Purge Day Crew right now?"

It's never too late to join the Purge Day party.
