The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 75

Episode 75 – It's All Because of Purple

Late one night, an article appeared on Metagamer's main page.

['Elden's First Sword's Generation Change! (With Newton's Secret)]

A special feature featuring a showdown between rising rookie streamer Purple and From Studios gaming powerhouse Eclipse.

Since Newton's seat was also mentioned, the number of views for the article skyrocketed.

[-Huh? Wasn't Purple a giant streamer?]

[ㄹㅇㅋㅋ Isn't that Purple FPS One Tool?]

[Nwontool ㅇㅈㄹ Perfect Yami, don't you know?]

[Nah lol but it's still on a different level from Elden]

Those who weren't interested in this match expressed their bewilderment at the gap between the two streamers. However, that was a very short-sighted thought.

[-Muchin just came up]

[-You have to watch the full video to see the real thing]

[-The grandeur of the battle between the world's strongest is heart-warming.]

[-The title says it's a generational change, but what about those who ignore Godple?]

[-Isn't this why articles about literacy rates falling keep coming out?]

[-Ah lol please watch the video and then write]

[- Those who commented first and then watched it, are you going to delete your comments now?]

Those who already knew the results laughed at those comments. Unlike them, those who watched the video first added their comments a little later.

[-Wow what the f*ck is Elden Soul originally like this?]

[Yes, that's right! (No)]

[Ellen can do it too!]

[Ellin (1200 hours of Ptarm)]

[Please stop spreading fake news ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Elden Soul's coolness is really ruined ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[The Godple play is quite flashy, lol]

[There is something similar to this called ‘staged cooking’]

[Nah lol lol lol That's right lol]

[When the N-Kings do it, the floor looks scary lol]

[-Eclipse Jam is so cool ㅎㄷㄷ]

[Oh my! Add '경' at the end!]

[I really feel respect after seeing this ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[The N-Lee Kyung is really amazing]

[It wasn't called 'Elden's First Sword' for nothing ㅋㅋㅋ]

[-I thought the commentary was all drips, but why is it like this?]

[LOL, you grow while fighting!]

[Nah, this is what they mean by 'genius'.]

[N Eclipse is a certified genius lol]

[This is what I mean when I say that Godple did Godple again.]

[-not;;; Purple doesn't look tired at all.]

[Really ㅋㅋ Even if your body isn't tired, if you fight like that, you'll be completely exhausted]

[It's so cool how he just exhales at the end lol]

[That's 'perfect' (nod)]

Comments on the match between Purple and Eclipse were full of praise for both sides. Of course, the praise for the winner, Purple, was the most common.

However, the atmosphere in the comment section was not that warm.

[-Newton was a woman?]

[-Nunaaaaaaaaaa!]

[-Wowㅋㅋㅋ Your body is crazy]

[-I'm starting an apology group from today ㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Ah, I want to be sniped too!]

[-If it was snow, honestly, wouldn't it be a huge gain even if I died?]

[-Why are you hiding it? You'd be super popular if you had a cam room, lol]

These were comments directly referring to Newton's gender. If it was just a mention, it would have passed, but among them, there were comments that crossed the line to the point of s*xual harassment.

[-Miss, you meatheads are fu*king up again]

[-Get out of here to your favorite Serengeti!]

[-It's always those who have nothing that muddy the watersㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Broth is science, lol]

[-I get really pissed when I get sniped while watching a broadcast and my pulse drops, but I'm having a really good time doing this.]

[-Really ㅋㅋ I'd go to a girls' cam room and get scammed for a thousand won]

[-I followed the archive just in case^^]

Of course, such comments were immediately met with a barrage of criticism. Along with countless objections, the comments were either blinded or deleted by the author.

[-Newton's left hand is also quite skilled]

[Gotple also coaches you on that lol]

[One point lesson worth 1 million won!]

[I really want to receive it once if I have the money ㅋㅋㅋ]

[Can't you just endure the picking?]

[Nah lol I can't resist limited pickups]

[- Wow, the evaluation fee is 200? It's doubled.]

[But looking at the fight, I can't help but feel like it's lackingㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Is there any black cow that hasn't bought Purple Coin yet?]

[I bought a purple coin, but why is my stock window blue?]

[Nah, don't you know? This is All Blue.]

[They said all the treasures were there lol. Turns out my money was buried there]

Although the showdown with Eclipse was the main event, the rivalry between Purple and Newton also had its fair share of significance.

It was while the comments were increasing like that.

[-Crazyㅋㅋㅋ Elsometa is going crazy because of Elden's best sword]

[-Elbungies went around as a groupㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Guys! If you've read the article, go to Elsometa!]

Suddenly, comments mentioning the Elden Souls community began to increase.

People who read the article couldn't resist their curiosity and logged onto the community.

[“Jeomsoi, please take my order.”]

[An inspector came into the guest room and said.

“I am feeling weak, so bring me something that will help me recover.”

The yellow-haired dotty answered, bending down deeply.

“Understood, Grandmaster! Here, a bottle of Aetaeru!”]

[-Ether is so annoying ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ]

[-The Chinese character notation is really great ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[-What is the yellow-haired dot? LOL]

[-Where is the guest house in Elso!]

[Please tell me the strategy for conquering Gangsi Toin]

[I am a martial arts beginner who just escaped from the Tomb of the Broken One and am meeting my senior.

It was good to reach the Ash Fog Forest, but dealing with the Jiangshitoin was too difficult.

I would like to ask for the opinions of my seniors.]

[-Gangsitoinㅋㅋㅋ Are you talking about the spirit golem?]

[-I was wondering what Pajajimyo was, what the f**kㅋㅋㅋ Paja was a broken personㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Then the forest of Hoemurim is a forest of fog, lol]

[-You scold me, Gal! How could a knight make a deal with a wicked witch! You were clearly a traitor!]

[-Muchinㅋㅋㅋ Even the comments are slowly turning into a martial arts world]

It was a post that made me doubt whether it was the Elden Soul community. There were also many other posts that did not fit the character of the community.

[Using magic and sorcery is something that only Sapa would do!]

[Elden's First Sword has been decided, but the position of Elden's First Spear is empty. I will stand in that position!]

[Don't be ashamed of your fate! Even if you roll around in a field of shit, this world is better!]

[<Non-stage competition held> Who is Elden Jeilgung? We hope for the participation of many martial arts comrades!]

[Elden Soul isn't a martial arts school? Go! If there's martial arts and chivalry, then that's martial arts!]

The bulletin board was filled with titles that you would see in a martial arts game, or even in a martial arts game community. This was because of the impact of the title, “Elden’s First Sword,” as used in the title of the article.

In the midst of the storm of martial arts within the community, new news was delivered.

[Elden's First Sword Western Reaction]

[Ah, lol I was going to write it with a concept in mind, but I don't have any knowledge of martial arts, so I just wrote the title

I translated this duel because it got a lot of responses on Reddit.

It seems like exports were quicker thanks to the subtitles attached to the article that was uploaded this time?

I did it in a hurry, but it'll probably be okay.

I don't accept objections because it's annoying

(Crazy, Eclipse is no longer the champion!)

(What the fu*k? Who is this kid? Purple?)

(I don't believe this bullshit. Eclipse is a master of swordsmanship!)

(Oh my god, guys, this is so ugly. Just accept it and welcome the new champion.)

(It's true. He's the new champion and he proved it. Why are you denying it?)

(Huh? Perfect Play is this winner's name. Pretty arrogant, I guess.)

(This is so cool!)

(It's so cheap lol)

(Oh! I know this guy! He's the guy who showed me Bark's true ending!)

(That's right! It's that guy!)

(Can you give me a link?)

(I found YouTube. I could watch it all day long! LOL)

(What on earth does 'Elden's First Sword' mean?)

(It means the best swordsman in Elden Soul. That's totally true lol)

(You're a real Korean, lol)

There are a lot of people who deny reality, but they all seem to be shocked after watching the video lol

If you want to see more reactions, search for Eclipse on Reddit ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

Eclipse was known not only in Japan but also in the English-speaking world as he was the winner of a competition hosted by the company. Overseas gamers were shocked by the news of his defeat.

Thanks to that, the name Perfect Play became known to overseas gamers.

[-It was hard work lol]

[-ㅋㅋㅋ is tastier than -lol]

[-Look at those nit-pickers gritting their teeth and denying it lol]

[-They seem to be the guys who lost to Ikle in the point-blank tournament ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Escape from reality by watching Cheonwicheonㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Godful Bark achievement is back again]

[-I'm both an Elbungi and a Babungi, but I feel proud for no reason]

[-Not all Koreans are good at games, but the stereotype has become so ingrained ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Godple is on another level even among Koreans, you guys!]

[-This is the best sword in Korea, lol]

It was quite satisfying for fans to see Purple's name being mentioned among overseas gamers.

* * *

Meanwhile, at the dorm of girl group 'Sweeties'.

“Guys, the manager is here.”

The manager went around the members' rooms to deliver the news. He had called in an aesthetic service for the members who were tired after finishing the mobile concert.

“Ugh… … I was in the middle of eating chicken.”

“I like tteokbokki.”

“Isn’t it the rule to eat both together?”

The members who came out into the hallway came out smiling. Since eating food in virtual reality doesn't make you fat and you can only feel the 'taste', this is how I relieved my stress.

“Huh? But what about Nara?”

Sweeties was a four-member girl group, and the oldest member was 'Yoon Nara'. However, she was also the most popular member.

“Are you still connected to the capsule?”

“Oh, I’ll call it.”

A member went to Yoon Nara's room. She knocked lightly and carefully opened the door.

“Sister?”

Contrary to expectations, Yun Nara was lying in bed.

“Huh? Why?”

“I heard the manager is here.”

"ah."

Yoon Na-ra rolled her eyes for a moment and then waved her hand.

“I’m just going to rest today. I’ll do the talking myself, so don’t worry about it.”

“Again? Well… … I guess it’s nice that I don’t have to take care of my older sister.”

She glanced up and down at Yun Nara. She was wearing a light T-shirt and dolphin pants, but even in that simple outfit, her appearance was radiant.

Even though they were the same idol, it felt like watching a celebrity.

“Hey, I also manage things very strictly.”

“Hey, of course I know. Then take a rest!”

Yoon Nara sighed as she watched her younger sister close the door and leave. Soon, she sat up and took a good posture.

She sat cross-legged and slowly closed her eyes. As she meditated, her senses gradually dulled and she immersed herself inwardly. However, it was not for the purpose of finding peace of mind.

'Let's stick together properly.'

She is not 'Yun Nara', but 'Newton'. The duel began with the voice of the opponent, Purple.

It was a battle that was replayed over and over again even after the broadcast ended.

'There was no mistake.'

I made the best choices at every moment, both offensively and defensively. That's why, in every review, only one reason for my defeat came to mind.

'My opponent was just stronger than me.'

She hunted for targets while working as a Newtonian. They were people who were boasting about their so-called 'talent'.

However, according to what she confirmed, most of them were just bluffs, and the worst ones were those who used proxies. Conquering such people was an excellent way to relieve stress accumulated during a life in the entertainment industry.

'Purple can win too.'

She slowly opened her eyes.

The outcome was decided, but that did not mean permanent defeat.

'The last one who laughs is the winner.'

If you have a mentality that can crumble from just one setback, you won't be able to enter the entertainment industry. Yoon Na-ra consoled herself.

'Besides, this time it wasn't our home ground, right? Normally the away team starts with a penalty.'

The battle was over, but the memories of that time still lingered in her mind.

Yoon Nara manipulated the smart link. The Metagamer main page appeared in front of her.

“This, isn’t this more popular than me?”

She pursed her lips as she looked at the number of views and comments on the article. She considered the notoriety she had accumulated while working as a Newton to be part of her fame.

She scanned the comments first and then clicked her tongue.

“This is seriously disgusting… … .”

As she is also human, her eyes were drawn to the comments mentioning her first. The comments that received criticism from everyone made the pretty ARMY frown.

She just hoped there weren't any such people among Sweeties' fans. Soon, she was watching the showdown between Eclipse and Purple again.

'I can't imitate it, but I need to know it to respond.'

She carefully examined each and every aspect of Purple. And she felt it anew.

'It is art.'

As the name suggests, it is 'perfect'.

But the more it happened, the more she became determined. She was so absorbed in the video that she didn't even realize how much time had passed.

“Sister?”

“Huh? Huh?”

She was startled by the sudden voice and put the hologram away. The member who had come to see her a moment ago was staring at her blankly.

“What are you looking at so intently?”

“Huh? Oh, that’s it, the choreography video.”

Fortunately, I was watching it in private mode, so even though it was a hologram, the content was not visible if the viewing angle was different.

The member looked at her blankly again and nodded.

“Choreography? Hmm… … Well, okay.”

“Uh, but why?”

“We came to tell you that we’ve received all the management. The manager said he’s leaving now, so he asked us to check for one last time.”

Yoon Na-ra opened her eyes wide.

Has that much time passed already?

“Oh, then I’ll tell you myself.”

"okay."

The member simply answered and closed the door. This was the moment when she let out a sigh of relief.

The door opened slightly and a member spoke in a small voice.

“But, sister.”

"uh?"

“You know it’s so obvious that you’re lying?”

"uh……?"

“Who watches choreography videos with the sound off?”

“Ah, that… … .”

I'm at a loss for words.

Although he had good physical agility, his ability to improvise in this area was different.

“I get that it’s because we’re banned from dating… … .”

“Oh, that’s not it!”

“Okay, okay. Good night!”

The member closed the door with a sinister smile. Yoon Na-ra, who was left behind, touched her forehead with a slightly red face.

“Miss, really… … .”

Perhaps because she wasn't able to relieve her stress well today, she suddenly felt like she wanted something sweet. She opened the mini fridge in her room.

What he was holding in his hand was a slice of tomato, a snack he had been saving and saving. Sprinkling sugar on top would have been the icing on the cake, but as an idol, he couldn't bring himself to do that.

If it were her usual self, she would have been able to endure it.

“… …Let’s just eat today!”

But today was the day to cross that line. She bit into a tomato slice sprinkled with pure white sugar.

“Ugh… … !”

It was different from the sweetness I could taste in virtual reality. Since I had been abstaining from sweets for a while, the stimulation was doubled.

After filling up a plate in such a short time.

"ah……."

She stood up, staring at the empty plate with blank eyes, and climbed onto the cycle placed in the room.

There is no such thing as irresponsible pleasure.

“I have to… I’m an idol… … .”

She gritted her teeth and started pedaling. She needed to pedal at full speed to burn off the calories she had just eaten.

“It’s all because of Purple!”
