Genius’s Possessed Game Broadcast Episode 634

Episode 634 – I heard it through the grapevine (4)

Early afternoon.

Lee Kyung-bok and his team arrived in Japan.

“Ahh…! I slept well!”

“Oh, me too! Business class is comfortable.”

“Ah, coming here really gives me a feeling of deja vu.”

“That’s right. It feels like it’s been a really long time since I’ve been here…”

“Strictly speaking, it hasn’t been that long.”

The scenery at the airport where he arrived was familiar. Lee Kyung-bok smiled faintly at the conversation among his team members.

“That’s right. Later, I should go to other places besides Osaka.”

Coincidentally, CAP COMPANY’s headquarters was located in Osaka.

Everyone laughed at him and changed the subject while looking for their luggage.

“No, man, seriously, isn’t this content going to be a huge hit? How did you get in touch with me like that?”

“Oh, really! I was so surprised when I heard what the boss said the moment I got off!”

“I guess people who are destined to succeed can do anything.”

“I thought we might meet when I saw the Metal Punch festival, but I never thought you’d actually contact me…!”

The topic was, of course, shoulder contact. Lee Kyung-bok also nodded at the excited faces of his team members.

“That’s right. But I don’t know if I’ll have time… You don’t have a lot of free time, do you?”

“Well, it’s not that much. And there are other problems than that.”

“What? What’s the problem?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Park Joo-ho’s answer. He then lightly adjusted his glasses and explained.

“I did some searching right after hearing the story. Unfortunately, Mr. Shoulder is probably in Tokyo right now.”

The Metal Punch developer was located in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, not Osaka. Everyone let out a short sigh at that fact.

“Oh, Mr. Daehan. Osaka and Tokyo are quite far apart, right…?”

“Oh, it’s about an hour away by plane. It’ll probably take about three hours by train.”

“Okay, then time is too tight.”

“If Purple and Shoulder film a vlog together, the viewers will really like it…!”

But Lee Gyeong-bok’s reaction was quite different.

‘I think that’ll be okay…?’

From the moment I received the DM on his shoulder until now, nothing has bothered him.

Rather, I had a feeling that things would work out well in some way.

“Since you asked, I should at least give you an answer. Can you organize your schedule and send it to me by email?”

“Yes, I will deliver it to you right away at the accommodation.”

“Okay, then I’ll reply via DM.”

After concluding the conversation, everyone came out to the gate. There were many people waiting for their family, relatives, or acquaintances, starting from the travel agency.

“Uh… Didn’t you say that a staff member would come out to greet you?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Mr. Daehan, did you find it?”

“No. I can’t see it yet.”

“Did we come out too early? Or maybe we missed each other…”

The team members quickly scanned the area, but no one seemed to be looking for Team Perfect.

Everyone was confused about it, but Lee Gyeong-bok was able to find the employee at a glance.

“Welcome! We sincerely appreciate Team Perfect’s visit to Japan.”

He was the one with the most positive energy in the crowd. As expected, he greeted me in fluent Korean.

“Ah… Cap Company’s!?”

“Wow! You speak Korean really well.”

“No, but how did you recognize us?”

“Really? You covered it up like this in case there were any fans who recognized it?”

He couldn’t walk around comfortably because his face was revealed. If fans recognized him, they wouldn’t ignore him, given Lee Kyung-bok’s personality.

To keep to the schedule, he covered his face with a hat and sunglasses.

“Ahaha, that’s why we didn’t prepare any special signs or anything. We thought the fans might recognize us. But we were able to recognize you easily. It’s all thanks to this person.”

The employee politely pointed to a person and explained. The team members who saw the person he pointed to immediately understood the situation.

“Oh, that’s right. The Korean seeds are a bit fried.”

“No! Now that I look at our group itself, it seems like it has no choice but to go crazy.”

“Oh, so I was the milestone?”

As it was an airport, there were a lot of white people.

However, there were only a few white people mixed among the Orientals.

“Yes. Anyway, let’s go to the accommodations instead. It would be better to get rid of the hangover first.”

“No, it’s not even a side effect…”

“Really. Thanks to you, I was able to come here on business comfortably.”

“Hey, the staff should get some rest too. Let’s go quickly!”

Everyone smiled and got into the prepared vehicle. The staff member drove the car himself and briefly explained the schedule again.

“When you arrive at the accommodation, please unpack and rest first. I will call the front desk when it is time.”

“Oh, are you going straight to the headquarters then?”

“Yes, once you arrive at headquarters, you can scan Purple’s character model and check the results.”

The schedule for the first day was very simple.

“After we finish, we’ll treat you to dinner. After that, you can do whatever you want. However, since there’s a showcase tomorrow, please take care of your condition.”

The second day was the day that required more focus. Lee Kyung-bok responded to the employee’s request with a gentle smile.

“Of course. Don’t worry too much.”

“Oh my, since the company is being so considerate, of course I have to draw the line.”

“Yeah, honestly, 1 night and 2 days would have been enough, but you were so considerate.”

“That’s right. The third day is practically free time.”

“Thanks to you, I think it will be a really enjoyable experience…!”

As other team members chimed in, the employee’s expression became calm.

“Ahaha, thank you for thinking so. Actually, our company is in a similar mood right now. Everyone is excited about Purple’s visit.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes, of course.”

The employee shrugged his shoulders as if it were obvious and answered.

“It’s work, but it’s also a chance to see Purple in person.”

CAP COMPANY headquarters.

Lee Kyung-bok and his team visited the development team after a short break. As soon as they entered, they felt that the employee’s words were not an empty promise.

“Huh? Huh!? The last? The last!?”

“Hontoni Purpuru Sanda…!”

“Huh? That’s awesome! I’m so excited!”

“Hey, hey, hey! Okay, let’s go!”

“Mr. Purple! Welcome!”

“Purple C! I love you!”

“Mercy! Mercy!”

Welcoming messages poured in not only in Japanese but also in Korean.

“Wow, this is crazy.”

“Wow! I can feel the boss’s class right away.”

“Choi Byung-hoon, are you filming the vlog well?”

“Uh-huh! Shh! The audio is mixed up, huh…!”

The team members were taken aback by the outpouring of hospitality, but the corners of their mouths naturally went up.

The person concerned, Lee Gyeong-bok, bowed his head politely with a big smile on his face.

“Hello. This is Purple, who is doing you a favor today. Please take good care of me!”

The cheers grew louder as his words were spoken by employees who immediately understood Korean.

But other than that, I was just busy rolling my eyes.

“Huh? Nani nani? Mr. Purpur, where are you from?”

“I am…! I am the one who has the power to…!”

“Hey hey hey, dareka nihongode tsuuyakushiteyo!”

There were voices asking for interpretation here and there, but there was no need for Cho Dae-han to step forward.

The staff who knew Korean wanted to share what they felt. The words were quickly whispered, and a beat later, cheers erupted again.

“Purple, this way.”

Meanwhile, Lee Kyung-bok was guided to his seat. He didn’t start scanning the character model right away.

Because there was a simple schedule before that.

“Huh, it’s fast, it’s fast.”

“Hey, look how long the line is.”

“Wow…! At this point, isn’t it almost as if the entire Bark development team has arrived?”

“I guess so. Purple is creating a queue here too.”

“Ugh, honestly, I don’t think I could miss it either.”

Papers piled on desks and employees standing in front of them with expectant expressions.

It was Lee Kyung-bok’s mini autograph session.

The team members took pictures of the scene with proud expressions.

“Wow, the picture is so nice. This vlog is worth it just for this scene alone.”

“Wow, it’s no joke if you know the behind-the-scenes story.”

“Oh, that’s right! Wasn’t this part of the original contract?”

“Yes. I heard that the collaboration was confirmed and that suggestions were made within the company.”

“Purple has turned all the developers into fans.”

This mini-signing event was held entirely at the request of our employees.

Thanks to this, the team members were able to feel anew what level of Lee Kyung-bok’s status was in Biocrisis.

Everyone seemed happy about this.

“Ah, Urayamashina…”

“The Papuru Shopping District has set a new standard for shopping…!”

Among them, there was a voice that was full of laughter. Cho Dae-han pricked up his ears and immediately smiled and interpreted it for his team members.

“Maybe it’s a different development team.”

“Another team?”

“Yes. Mr. Purple, you came all this time. Even though we’re from the same company, the treatment is so different! This is a total special treatment for the Bark team!”

“Oh, right. Are there other games here besides Bark?”

All employees could not get Lee Kyung-bok’s autograph. Wouldn’t that be like putting the cart before the horse?

The other development teams could not help but look at Lee Kyung-bok from afar and express their envy.

“Damn, I’ll get some recognition for this new work. Ah, Mr. Purple is crazy about fun. Let’s make it right and do a collaboration on our game too.”

Jo Dae-han relayed the conversation he heard and smiled. His smile spread to the other team members as if it was contagious.

“Oh, right, right. If you feel wronged, you should make a fun game.”

“You have to work hard to be chosen by our president.”

“Because Purple doesn’t do boring things.”

Survival of the fittest.

It wasn’t just the law of nature.

After the mini autograph session.

Lee Kyung-bok and his team visited the art team as scheduled.

“Oh, come on in. We’re afraid we’ve caused you too much trouble.”

The team leader finished his introduction and let out an awkward laugh. Thanks to Jo Dae-han’s immediate interpretation, Lee Gyeong-bok was able to answer right away.

“Not at all. Rather, we caused you some inconvenience. Thank you again for allowing us to film.”

“No, no, no, that’s something we should be thankful for.”

The team leader waved his hand vigorously and laughed heartily.

“Thanks to you, our development process is introduced on Pertube. This is a rare opportunity. Well, we do have a making-of film on our official Qtube channel, but the number of views isn’t that high.”

It was a half-joking, half-serious answer. Everyone laughed at this, and the team leader immediately moved to another location.

“Okay, let’s get started. This device you see here is what we use for scanning. It looks like a capsule, right?”

“Oh, I see. Can I just go in?”

“Yes. The method of use is not much different from that of capsules.”

Lee Kyung-bok entered the device. Soon, a small electronic sound was heard and letters appeared on the display.

“Good. Scanning has begun. If you look at this display, you will see Purple’s body being rendered in real time.”

“oh…!”

“It’s a lot faster than I thought.”

As the team members’ reactions suggested, the scan didn’t take long. Lee Kyung-bok came out of the device and opened his eyes wide as he looked at the results.

“Wow, what? Is it over already?”

“Yes, it is. It is really simple, right?”

The team leader clapped his hands, apparently satisfied with the response, and added an explanation.

“If you’re Purple, you probably remember when you first entered the capsule. It wasn’t that long ago, and you’re famous for your tutorial records, right?”

“Oh, I remember. I was really surprised when I first entered virtual reality.”

“Yes, you will. Even then, won’t your avatar be formed within the virtual reality? That too will be done using the scanning technology built into the capsule itself.”

“Oh? Now that I think about it, that’s true. The face is slightly different, but the body is exactly like mine.”

Lee Kyung-bok and everyone else nodded in agreement with the explanation.

“Yes, the scanning technology applied to general capsules is also excellent. However, there are clear differences compared to specialized scanning equipment. Well, a technical explanation would be boring, so I can give you an analogy.”

As the team leader spoke, he briefly manipulated the display. Then, a new avatar model appeared next to the model of Lee Kyung-bok that had just been formed.

“As you can see, the avatar model created from the capsule scan has a more vague feel, right? That’s because the avatar needs to be able to be modified and adjusted.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Well, people have different body types. Even people who are a little overweight like me want their avatars to have nice bodies.”

The team leader made a self-deprecating joke and cleared his throat.

“It might be easier to understand if you think of it as making a doll out of some kind of clay. The more clay you have left over, the easier it is to add or remove, right?”

“But this device is different?”

“That’s right. If the capsule scan is made by molding clay, this device can be thought of as making a mold precisely. It creates a mold that does not change at all. That’s how much of a difference there is in precision.”

Lee Kyung-bok and his teammates let out a small sigh.

“It’s definitely different from the model I saw in the studio.”

“It feels like they just put the president in there?”

“Wow, it would be really cool to see it in the game…”

“I think the fans will feel like they are meeting the real Purple.”

Lee Kyung-bok tried to imagine it, and soon opened his eyes wide.

‘Why are you like that?’

All the team members were laughing in surprise, but there was a subtle sense of discomfort among them.

Lee Kyung-bok walked straight towards him.

“Is there something you don’t like?”

“Yes? Me, me?”

The person he asked was Pugmalion. She was smiling like everyone else, but her smile was strangely different from usual.

Naturally, other people’s eyes were also focused on what was going on.

“Oh, no, that…”

“It’s okay. Feel free to talk to me.”

Pugmalion rolled his eyes in embarrassment. Lee Kyung-bok spoke to her in a gentle voice.

After a moment of hesitation, she finally opened her mouth.

“Well, it’s nothing special… It’s just… Purple’s character model’s eyebrows are a bit different from the real thing…”

“Eyebrows?”

“No, what’s different…?”

The team members were confused, and the art team leader took notice of the atmosphere. Meanwhile, Jo Dae-han, who was in charge of interpretation, was worried about whether he should relay this conversation.

Lee Kyung-bok guessed what he was thinking and nodded while looking at him.

“You can pass it all on.”

“Huh? No, Purple-sama…!”

Pugmalion flinched, but Lee Kyung-bok didn’t care. He didn’t have any uneasy intuition at all.

“Modeling is Pugmalion’s specialty.”

That was also the reason I brought her along on this business trip.

Pugmalion’s eyes widened at Lee Kyung-bok’s words. The team leader who had heard the story in the meantime was astonished.

“No…! How did you know?”

Pugmalion’s words were not wrong.

“Well, maybe it’s the limitation of the scanning device? Even if the scan is finished quickly, you can’t help but blink, right? So the eyebrow position is bound to be slightly different from the actual position. No, no, no, but how can you see this with the naked eye…?”

It was something that was not easily known to anyone who had not handled a scanning device. Even then, it could only be noticed by comparing the recorded data with the actual object.

But didn’t Pugmalion distinguish the difference with his own eyes?

“Hah, as expected from our Pugmalion…!”

“Wow, this is really amazing.”

“No, I still don’t see the difference?”

As her teammates were amazed by her, she covered her face in embarrassment.

“No, that, originally, depending on the shape and position of the eyebrows, the impression changes. I just felt that way…”

Even after her explanation(?), the admiration did not stop. Lee Kyung-bok looked back at the team leader with a look of satisfaction.

“We could have simply modified the model, right? I remember it was clearly stated in the contract.”

“Huh? Oh, that’s right.”

The team leader, who was dumbfounded, immediately nodded his head. Since it was based on a real person, he had to get permission from the subject and even requests for modifications.

“If it’s okay with you, would it be possible for Mr. Pugmalion to do the editing himself?”

Everyone’s faces turned to Lee Kyung-bok’s suggestion. The same was true for her, the person involved.

“Pur, Purple?! How, how could I…!?”

“Surely… if it’s not someone else but Pugmalion…”

The team members had to turn their faces again. Surprisingly, the team leader nodded obediently.

He continued his explanation as soon as the eyes gathered around him.

“And also, Mr. Pugmalion is a famous person within our art team. In particular, the figure from our game that we gave to Mr. Purple was really shocking.”

“Yes!? Me, me? Here?”

“Of course. When we first saw it, we thought it was a special limited edition product that we didn’t even know about. That showed how much they understood about our game.”

Her worries were in vain as the team leader instead expressed his anticipation.

“Actually, even within our team, we were curious about Pugmalion’s work style. I think this will be a good stimulus for our employees as well.”

Her expression brightened at the unexpected recognition. But that was short-lived, as her joy was also met with anxiety.

“Well, but it’s okay for me to be in charge of such an important task…”

It was a completely different task from making goods. Isn’t it a result that will be revealed to Bio Crisis users around the world?

Even though she had not said she would do it, an indescribable pressure weighed on her.

“You can do it.”

But soon the voice I heard took the weight away.

“Of course, Cap Company’s skills are excellent. But even so…”

The owner of that voice was Lee Kyung-bok. There was no wavering in his gaze as he looked at her.

“No one expresses me better than Pugmalion.”

Even though she doubted herself, Lee Kyung-bok did not. So Pugmalion made his decision as usual.

Any feeling of pressure had long since disappeared.

“… Yes! I will definitely do it!”

Believing in Lee Kyung-bok.

That one was enough.
