The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting - Chapter 651
Only Krnovel
Episode 651 – Hongjam Human (2)
Late afternoon, Lee Kyung-bok’s studio.
Team Perfect meeting was convened online.
“Ah, because of these cyber wreckers…! I was just getting some rest for once!”
Choi Byung-hoon playfully expressed his annoyance.
There was no meeting originally scheduled because of a business trip to Japan. However, we ended up meeting again because of a patent controversy that arose overnight.
“But I heard that the Korean branch will take care of that.”
“Wow, at least the headquarters gave a clear explanation.”
“I’m glad it ended before the rumors spread any further!”
“Oh, really. I never thought this would be controversial…”
“I guess that’s because when people think of patents, they first think of property rights.”
Park Joo-ho said that and lightly adjusted his glasses.
“The situation has been resolved for the time being, but there is a reason why we called the meeting. The developer asked us to explain as well.”
“Yes? Us?”
“No, to be exact, you would be the president.”
“Aha, you want me to tell you this story on air? No, but isn’t this the end?”
When the team members looked puzzled, Lee Kyung-bok summarized the story he had heard first.
“Well, Cap Company said the picture was weird for it to end like this.”
“Yes. Especially in North America, patents and royalties are considered legitimate rights. It could be seen that Cap Company is pressuring us to block those rights.”
When Park Joo-ho added this, the team members let out small exclamations.
“Oh, so there won’t be any misunderstandings if the CEO speaks directly?”
“It would be certain if Purple-nim told me.”
“Oh! There were already a lot of posts on the fan cafe asking for a story to be told, so this is great!”
The team members who had been understanding soon blinked their eyes. Then why don’t you just tell the truth? Is there a reason to call a meeting?
“Huh, but this actually doesn’t really have much to talk about…”
The answer to that question came from Choi Byeong-hun. The team members also raised their eyebrows as if they had just remembered it.
“Oh, that’s right! The patent case was decided quickly, right?”
“That’s right, that’s right, it really happened in an instant.”
“That’s why I was more surprised because it became controversial. No, I was wondering if it was such a big deal.”
When the developer brought up the issue of patents, the company delegated the decision to Lee Kyung-bok, who had presented the original plan. The team members also discussed it together.
And the decision was made surprisingly quickly and concisely.
“Yes, it might be a shame for Cap Company, but I thought it would be nice if the inner voice system could be applied to other games as well.”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled awkwardly and mentioned the reason he had given at the time. His team members also smiled and recalled it.
“Really, that was such a boss-like reason!”
“The manager must have put a lot of thought into just conveying that.”
“Oh, I see. Like Purple’s image or legal disputes…”
“Ugh, anyway, you have to know how to use your head.”
“It wasn’t that difficult. It was actually applicable.”
Park Joo-ho clapped his hands lightly as if it was nothing.
“That’s why we’re here at this meeting. I can just state the reason Kyungbok thought of, but I’ll try to think of a better way to put it.”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at his friend’s words and looked back at his team members. Words are different.
“This is where editing experts need to step in.”
A true heart is conveyed by the right words.

Early evening, Lee Kyung-bok’s channel.
Today’s broadcast was announced to be earlier than the regular time slot.
-5252, at this hour, Godple descends, Munyaguut!
-What? Has the evening prayer time changed?
-The indulgence time is the same, right? Right!?
-The big picture is that Bark 2 will last longer?
-Kya haha this is the basics haha
-As expected from President Bae!
-Isn’t that because of the perfect ending?
-Is the only level of storytelling coming?
-Either way, it’s an extension of the supplement, right?
The viewers were already intoxicated with joy. For whatever reason, it would be a welcome thing if Lee Kyung-bok’s broadcast was extended.
Soon, the scheduled broadcast time arrived.
“Haha! Nice to meet you all!”
His greeting was met with a warm welcome in the chat window. Lee Kyung-bok responded with a bright smile and lightly clapped his hands.
“Now, as you all know, those who pre-ordered the game can start playing Bark 2 today! Of course, I’ve already purchased it, and I’m going to start playing it today. But before that, there’s a reason I turned on the stream earlier than usual.”
As he spoke, he pointed upward with his right hand.
“You all probably know that Bark2 and I collaborated. Of course, it would be classified as a commercial, right?”
The chat window was filled with question marks. Contrary to what Lee Kyung-bok had said, there was still no indication of paid advertisements.
“No, not yet. That’s why I turned on the broadcast early. I’m going to talk about the Inner Voice System patent, but I wanted to let you know that what I’m going to say from now on has absolutely nothing to do with advertising.”
-WA! Perfect sledding!
-It’s a bit weird to say this with an advertisement tag on it lol
-Really lol This could cause more aggro
-My brother has a lot of thoughts?
The viewers did not hide their interest in him. Lee Kyung-bok moved his finger to open the web page.
“First of all, I will skip over most of the misunderstandings since Cap Company has already resolved them. However, I think there may be other misunderstandings as I look into it. I will address those first.”
The chat window was once again filled with question marks. A misunderstanding? Did the developers do something wrong?
“No, there is no problem. Basically, I have no intention of claiming patent rights to Inner Voice, and I don’t think I have contributed anything to it. Rather, I just wanted to let you know that Cap Company was considerate enough to put my name on it.”
He calmly recalled the explanation Park Joo-ho had given him at the meeting.
“I’ve heard it said this: ‘Ideas’ are not patentable. In fact, nothing can be done with ideas alone.”
-That’s true lol
-If the idea is patentable, it will be reported to the patent office lol
-Seriously ㅋㅋ I’ll record all kinds of random thoughts and come back to you ㅋㅋ
-You can become a patent rich person just by talking to yourself!?
-Patents aren’t that easy, Imari.
The viewers also agreed with him.
If you think about it from a legal and common sense perspective, it was a natural thing to do.
“Right? So, in fact, the patent for this system belongs to Cap Company, which built the system. They didn’t need to ask for my permission. In fact, there is another case that happened not long ago, and it also has something to do with me.”
Viewers who were nodding their heads had to blink again.
Are you saying there were other patents besides Inner Voice? If so, wouldn’t they have known about it?
-Patent? Related to Godple?
-There’s something else that Godple made?
-Huh? Wait, isn’t there one more?
-Wow lol that’s right lol
Some of the viewers who were in doubt came up with the answer. Lee Kyung-bok smiled and opened a new web page with the answer.
“Okay! Let me say this again, I’m not claiming any patent rights. And I don’t think the idea itself is anything special. But I was looking for an explanation and found this.”
-Ah haha, that’s right! Mimic Creed was also made by Gotple!
-What? Metal Punch applied for a patent?
-Is that what you said on the live broadcast?
-Huh? But why don’t you ask Gotple?
-Hirokazu, you bastard!
-Is it too annoying?
Lee Kyung-bok quickly waved his hand in the turbulent chat window.
“Calm down! I told you earlier, right? You don’t need to ask for my permission. Besides, unlike Inner Voice, this isn’t finished yet, and there are no royalties either. Please refrain from speculating!”
He then used a method that completely diverted the viewers’ attention.
“Does this make sense?”
The pumice summoned over his shoulder circled around and nuzzled its head against his cheek.
-Oh lol. Are those sunglasses?
-Sunglasses picked at Perchamsi
-Wow! Our Permusae is hip, hip!
-Oh my gosh lol You’re making me want to pick it
-If it’s not for you, don’t even try!
-Seriously lol It’s better to buy the King Ban-in ticket Imari
The chat room atmosphere immediately calmed down at Permusae’s aegyo. Lee Kyung-bok continued his explanation while scratching Permusae’s head.
“Actually, when I first gave my opinion, I didn’t think it would become such a big deal. As you all know, our Permusae is royalty-free, right?”
“This makes sense! This makes sense!”
The peregrine falcon shook its body, its head fixed firmly in his hands, as if it were excited by his touch.
-Oh lol, so fun
-???: Jjuin! I don’t know what you’re saying, but keep touching me!
-1 person 1 permuse distribution is king!
-Thanks to you, all Koreans adopted one, lol
Lee Kyung-bok gently stroked the back of Permusae’s head with two fingers.
“My hopes are similar. I thought that inner voice would make the game more fun, and if possible, wouldn’t it be good to have the inner voice system in all games?”
“This makes sense…”
Viewers were moved by the reason that was revealed.
-Huh? You said it was royalty-free so that it could be applied to other games too?
-So open source distribution also meant Godple?
-What is it? What Godcom said was right!
-Really lol what’s the misunderstanding lol
– A streamer who is addicted to fun lol
Even the Permusae that was walking sideways, wanting to stick closer to Lee Kyungbok, couldn’t steal their attention.
It was thanks to the great goodwill he showed.
-All the games in the world benefit from Godple, Imari, lol
-Why is this truly world class?
-???: Are you going to patent fun too?
-Furnus socknimuㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Hongjaem human spirit ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ
-What is this Hong Jam-in-gan?ㅋㅋㅋ
-Make the human world more fun, lol
-Aha! Hwanung is the god of gods, and Poongbaek, Usa, and Unsa are also gods of heaven?
-Oh lol, that turns out to be a party of exactly 4 lol
-What is the myth of Joseon? Lol
-The story of Gotple is a myth, isn’t that common sense?
In the chat window that was quickly popping up, Lee Kyung-bok smiled awkwardly and gently held Permusae.
This was sufficient explanation.
“Okay, now I have to go to work, so wait.”
“Does this make sense!?”
The perm bird, whose head was sticking out, trembled in surprise. But soon it nodded its head.
“This…! This makes sense…!”
The determined voice that followed filled the chat room with laughter.
-It’s a shame, but I quickly accepted it lol
-Ah haha how can I catch it while dad is working?
-???: Jjuin! You have to come quickly! I’ve been waiting!
-You have Age of Oceans homework right now, right?
-Ah haha this won’t do. If you indulge yourself you’ll have to buy sunglasses.
Lee Gyeong-bok sent off the percussion and clapped his hands again.
“Okay, great! Now is the time for us to do something fun?”
The webpage that came up with it was organized and then a sign appeared at the bottom of the screen.
[Contains paid advertising]
Lee Kyung-bok smiled brightly and said as the chat window filled with people’s comments.
“The game we’re playing today is Biocrisis 2!”
* * *
When I ran the game, the opening played.
“Oh, this is the part that appeared in the teaser video.”
-Is that what was shown in the trailer video?
-ㅇㅇ There isn’t much revealed in the opening
-No spoilers in the opening lol
-You just explained exactly why I came to Japanㅋㅋㅋ
These were scenes that were connected to the teaser video and the beginning of the trailer that were revealed at the fan meeting.
Soon the screen went dark and the main menu appeared along with the logo.
“Oh, great. I’m already looking forward to it!”
The viewers enthusiastically agreed with his words. However, Lee Kyung-bok’s hand went down.
“But before that! There’s something I need to test, right?”
When Lee Kyung-bok chose the option, the viewers also let out a cheer a beat later.
-Oh, that’s right lol
-Oh lol I was just watching the game start lol
-But I still have to do Perfect Inner Voice ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is the big one coming? Is the big one coming? Is the big one coming?
-KIA! You’re finally hearing it, lol
In the chat window filled with anticipation, Lee Kyung-bok immediately activated the inner voice system.
When the voice sample was played, Lee Kyung-bok’s eyes as well as the viewers’ eyes widened.
“Wow! It’s really the same! No, it’s like this?”
-????????????
-Is this the perfect voice you hear?
-Wow, this is really torn.
-Kya ㅋㅋ It feels completely different when you listen to it in low tones ㅋㅋㅋ
-I thought you were a prankster, but you were a noir?
-True manly force ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ
-Oh no! Why was I listening to such good stuff alone!
-If I asked you to vouch for me in this voice, would you?
-Are you crazy? LOL
Everyone was shocked, although their reasons were different. Lee Kyung-bok smiled at the chat response, but soon narrowed his eyebrows.
‘The system is certainly great…’
It was because of the story that Cho Dae-han reported on Reddit towards the end of the meeting.
‘I’m fine with it, but I think the viewers’ immersion will be reduced.’
The streamer’s sense of immersion increases, but it is bound to be an unfamiliar voice to viewers. As a streamer, which immersion should you prioritize?
Lee Kyung-bok’s worries did not last long.
‘If I’m not having fun, the broadcast will be like that too.’
It was the mindset I had from the time I first started broadcasting. That mindset still hasn’t wavered.
Perhaps because of that, his intuition also sent him a stronger signal, supporting his choice.
“Wow, I really like it. It might sound a little strange to you, so please understand.”
He finished setting up and honestly revealed his feelings. However, the viewers’ reaction was different from what he expected.
-What?
-Is there anyone who doesn’t like Perfect Inner Voice? (I really don’t know)
-Ah haha of course you have to turn it on
-The original voice is good, but this one seems to suit John better ㅋㅋㅋ
-Really lol Besides, you have to use Godple in Bark 2
– Are you sure you can’t skip the new system in your homework?
-That too, and the purple character appears too, lol
-Oh my gosh, lol. If you don’t use it, your voices will overlap.
-No matter how perfect your voice is, playing two roles is a bit much;;;
Lee Kyung-bok realized another reason why he had a stronger intuition. Didn’t the viewers want to use the inner voice from the beginning?
Then he returned to the main menu with a relieved smile.
“Wow, it’s a new feeling. When I first did bark, you only stayed for a few minutes…”
-Are you too lazy right now?
-Really ㅋㅋ What do you mean 140,000 viewers? ㅋㅋ
-Ah haha, overseas compatriots can’t stand it either haha
-Even if you say it so vaguely, it was half a year ago!
-Oh my goodness, if someone saw me they’d think it was a few years ago lol
-I should have been a fool back then!
-You won’t miss the live broadcast anymore, right? You’ll definitely watch it live, right?
Lee Kyung-bok didn’t have time to be absorbed in the facts that the viewers were pouring out. He then raised his hand to start the game with a faint smile.
“Ooh, that sounds fun! Let’s go!”
It was a completely different situation from when the broadcast first started.
But I was alone at that time.
-Let’s gooooooooo!
-I found all the zombie shacks lol
-Perfect zone! Perfect zone! Perfect zone! Perfect zone!
-???: Ryouiki Tenkai!
-The area is expanded here?
-Oh my gosh lol Is this the perfect zone? lol
-You’re not completely wrong, are you?
-Baboongi is going to become a Buddha!
Now, a lot of people were enjoying it together.
