The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting - Chapter 656

Episode 656 – Finding the Beginner’s Mind (Never Lost) (5)
Day one of Biocrisis 2.
It was a day that many had been waiting for, but there were some people who had waited for it even longer than most gamers.
“Wow! It was worth the effort!”
“Ah, that’s right. I didn’t know Mr. Purple would be this satisfied.”
“Ugh, that was the last spurt? I can’t do it anymore! I really can’t do it!”
Those who were playfully groaning were the developers. They were monitoring Lee Kyung-bok’s broadcast from the office building.
“Hehe, I guess I should call you Mr. Purple.”
“No, no, but still? You killed the Oni zombie with one kick?”
“Oh, but I knew Mr. Purple would figure it out somehow.”
Everyone was amazed by the play he showed, but they weren’t that surprised. Everyone was expecting Lee Kyung-bok’s performance, having already experienced it in the previous game.
“Huh? Straight to police headquarters?”
“In front of the armory, there’s a fire axe! As expected, it’s Mr. Purple!”
“Really! You’re way beyond the level of ordinary people!”
The response from the police headquarters was similar. However, there was one difference.
“Hey, Mr. Purple, you might be a little disappointed. This isn’t the place to farm right now.”
“Hmm! Zombie Plant, Zlant, even Purple C can’t handle it right now.”
Since I was in charge of planning and developing it myself, I couldn’t have the same perspective as the viewers.
As expected, everyone burst into laughter at the appearance of the police chief, the mutated plant zombie, Zlant.
“This, this, everyone is really surprised.”
“That’s true. I think Korean viewers will probably react similarly.”
“Yes! Our plan worked!”
Thanks to the introduction of the multi-chat window, the developers were able to check the reactions of Japanese viewers, which were not much different from those of Korean viewers.
The development team looked over Zlant’s plan with satisfied expressions.
“It was originally planned to be a strategy after reuniting with Ryan Kim, right?”
“Oh, that’s right. You need to get a flamethrower from the US military base.”
“Yes, we should bring Ryan Kim too. He can’t disperse Zlant’s attacks alone.”
The time the developers had in mind to attack the police headquarters was later than now. Didn’t they even directly mention it in John’s narration?
That’s why the development team had no choice but to blink.
“Huh? Huh? What did Purple C… say just now!?”
“No, no, did you translate it correctly!?”
“You only brought a card key…?! That’s impossible! You’re saying that’s absolutely impossible!?”
Everyone turned to each other at Lee Kyung-bok’s declaration that he would not back down. Even without firearms, the only equipment they had was an axe and a combat knife.
Is this even possible?
“Can Mr. Purple catch Zlant now?”
“Huh? No, no, Zlant uses self-regeneration to attack from all directions within the area?”
“Zlant’s attack patterns are determined by random numbers. There’s no pattern that Purple-ssi can figure out⋯!”
The staff who planned Zlant’s features quickly shook their heads. Then, the QA team members in charge of testing added their comments.
“In reality, the same pattern has never appeared twice in a test.”
“That’s right. Furthermore, there has never been a case of a solo attack, and a flamethrower is needed in the first place.”
“Ah! It’s possible to solo the game. It’s the latter half, but with the firepower of a rocket launcher⋯”
“Huh? No, no, that’s too far away.”
They thought about the possibility of success, but concluded that it was impossible under the current conditions.
At this, all the developers had serious expressions on their faces.
“It’s not realistically possible, but… if I get the card key here, will something go wrong?”
It was a situation that was considered impossible, but I had to prepare for the possibility that it would happen. This was because the person who was taking on this reckless challenge was none other than Lee Kyung-bok.
Empirically, the developers assumed his success and worried about the possibility of bugs occurring later.
“Well… I don’t think there will be any problems.”
“Hmm, right? Well, it’s not a necessary location for the story, but rather a place for farming items.”
“It’s not that it has no effect, but it doesn’t cause any problems in the game progression.”
They exchanged a reassuring glance at each other and soon burst into laughter.
“But if you succeed at this, the game will become too difficult from the beginning.”
“Ah, that’s right. The difficulty adjustment system is the same as the first one.”
“If we acquire this level of equipment now… the number of enemies that appear in the future and their AI performance will be set to the highest.”
As with its predecessors, the game’s difficulty is determined by the level of equipment the player has acquired.
If it became too difficult, the game would not be fun, but the developers were not worried.
“Oh my, in the first part, you pulled out the golden shotgun in one go⋯”
“Hey, this time you’re playing on the highest difficulty level with skill rather than luck.”
“Well, wouldn’t that be okay? It might actually be a good situation?”
“Ah, I understand. Well, you’re Mr. Purple, right?”
He’s a streamer who’s known for liking difficult stuff.
* * *
Lee Kyung-bok’s declaration left viewers with both concern and anticipation.
-Haha, is this really possible?
-They all got screwed on other shows lol
-Really ㅋㅋ That bastard ran away after 5 tries ㅋㅋ
-What if King Chi-man becomes Godple?
-If this guy does it again, he’ll do it anyways lol
This wasn’t the first time he had attempted something like this, but streamers with better equipment than him had also suffered defeat.
Lee Kyung-bok calmly looked back at the cutscene while watching the chat.
“First of all, looking at the way the yakuza were treated, it seems like we should avoid contact at all.”
Some were pierced by the roots, while others were mummified simply by being caught.
While the viewers nodded in agreement, Lee Kyung-bok took a calming breath.
“Okay then, let’s go.”
With a short word, his body shot inward. Zlant sprang out his roots as soon as he sensed the intruder.
-What the f*ck, I should avoid this!?
-Dorshin, the developers?
-Oh lol This wasn’t made to be avoided lol
-Huh? You’re avoiding it?
-Hey lol I’ll do all of this
-Eyes⋯! Those eyes!
The viewers, who were surprised by the ever-changing orbits, had to open their eyes wide once again. This was thanks to Lee Kyung-bok narrowly avoiding the orbits.
‘Wow, you really made up your mind about this.’
Lee Kyung-bok, who had entered a state of concentration as soon as he entered, let out a sigh for another reason.
It was thanks to the fact that the attack trajectory of the root was clearly drawn using the information collected by Shingi.
‘There are also patterns that don’t have any length at all.’
After one attack, another attack pattern followed. But this time, it was a pattern that completely blocked the path.
It wasn’t a situation that could be avoided simply because it was fast. The viewers also felt it intuitively as the roots poured out across the screen.
-Ah, this won’t work.
-You’re really evil lol
-Brother! Get it out now!
-You should bring something like a chainsaw, lol
The result was so obvious that I didn’t even feel dizzy. The viewers gave up, but Lee Kyung-bok was different.
He rather picked up the axe and picked it up faster.
-?
-what?
-You’re alive!?
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-You broke through this!?
-And end it in one cut?
-Wow, what the f*ck, are you even aware of the order of things?
-If this had stopped in the middle, it would have been Mirakak right away.
He avoided them by figuring out the difference in time between each root’s arrival. Then, he opened up a path by cutting only the last root that approached him with an axe.
The viewers sighed before they could rejoice at the result. Will the roots that Lee Kyung-bok cut off not grow back?
-Oh my gosh, no matter how much I do it, it’s too much!
-Playback speed ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ
-Huh? Why is the final boss coming out here?
-You can’t catch this thing even with a decent gunㅋㅋㅋ
-Shouldn’t the building itself be burned down?
-Fire! We need more fire!
-Oh no! How am I supposed to find the card key like this!?
-Seriously lol It seems like you had no intention of giving me time in the first place
However, Lee Kyung-bok was actually relaxed. He had already figured out the location of the card key through intuition.
“I have a guess as to where the card key is.”
Because there was a basis for it.
While the viewers were curious about him, Lee Kyung-bok passed the chief and jumped over behind him.
“Huh? This isn’t the attack range, is it?”
When he fell behind Zlant, the roots did not follow him. The viewers burst into laughter.
-Oh lol I guess you didn’t set it up because you didn’t know it would be too much
-Who would have expected this to pass? Lol
-Even from the headquarters director’s perspective, it’s out of sight lol
-Hyung? But don’t we need to search the chief’s body?
-Is it okay if I guess?
The relieved viewers poured out questions. Lee Kyung-bok lightly pointed in the direction with his thumb.
At the end of it were the mummified corpses of the yakuza.
“Probably one of these guys has it.”
Everyone was puzzled by this, but soon Lee Gyeong-bok found the card key in the body’s arms.
“My guess was right. As expected, there was a hint in the cutscene.”
He waved his card key and smiled. Lee Kyung-bok added an explanation to the question marks that filled the chat window.
“Didn’t they say that earlier? They also came to secure the armory. They caught the chief, so they must have searched his body. Then there’s no reason for them not to take the card key, right?”
The reason the yakuza couldn’t take over the armory was not because they didn’t have the card key, but because of the zombies guarding it.
When the viewers realized this and responded, Lee Kyung-bok raised his index finger.
“And one more thing, this is from a game perspective. You can’t leave the card key on the chief’s body. What if the player attacks the chief while attacking this zombie? Won’t the card key be broken?”
-Oh? Is that right?
-Yeah, lol. It’ll take a lot of firepower to catch a tree branch.
-You worked so hard to farm, but your card key got destroyed?
-Hey, lol. Then it’s like a dog chewing gum lol.
-Is it perfect both internally and externally?
-You’re the perfect detective!
Lee Kyung-bok nodded his head at the chat window filled with gasps.
“Yes, so please don’t aim for the innocent corpses. Oh, and those who are following along, be careful here! It’s more dangerous to go back than to break through! Don’t forget.”
It was still too early to feel relieved.
On the way back, there would be another wave of attacks.
-Okay haha that’s right too
-It’s really hard to just look at it and avoid it, lol
-Assuming you’ve come this far, then what lol
-Can’t you just backstep?
-If you look back when you go out, you’ll inevitably go slower, Imari.
The viewers nodded in agreement and then burst into empty laughter, contrary to his own advice.
-Hyung? You said it was dangerous?
-Oh no! Why are you avoiding me without even looking back!
-Perfect Sense ON!
-Rather, isn’t it faster since I just have to go out?
-Don’t just follow the magpies^^
-Really lol It’s not just my legs that are going to tear, it’s my whole body
It was thanks to this that Lee Gyeong-bok was able to escape leisurely without looking back.
“Okay, then shall we go farming?”
* * *
Lee Kyung-bok returned to the armory and opened the door. He looked through the stored equipment and selected useful items.
“Well, I think this is about the best I can do.”
His selection included two automatic pistols, a submachine gun, and a silencer as auxiliary equipment.
There was a lot of equipment left, but there was a limit to how much we could carry.
-Just follow my brother!
-Really lol, whatever you take, Imari
-If you use Gotpl, you can kill with two shots, right?
-Ah haha, it’s a bit disappointing that there’s no shotgun
-Anyway, I can just leave the rest to Providence, lol
-At this point, isn’t Godple in charge of distribution? Lol
-???: I am in charge of distribution
-Ryan Kim, voice actor? Why did you lie?
Viewers had no disagreement with the choice. However, there was one thing that was questionable.
-This guy’s bulletproof vest fits really well too
-Perfect Tactical Form is really awesome
-The fit is good, but it seems a bit unexpected lol
-Really lol If it’s this guy, he’ll pass on bulletproof
-Huh? Bulletproof passing? Ignoring BTX?
-Stop distorting things!
The point was that Lee Kyung-bok had taken the bulletproof vest of the anti-terrorism unit among the equipment.
“No, I’m not going to use it. I’m wearing it because it’s hard to carry around.”
A question mark appeared in the chat window at the answer that came with a faint smile. What does it mean to wear it and not wear it?
“You’re going to see Sandra now, right? I have to take care of her because the situation is dangerous.”
-WA! Honey Purple!
-Is this the honey combo or something?
-They say it’s honeypot farming, but it’s so sweetㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Idiot! An idiot who only thinks of Sandra!
-This level of innocence when it’s not even a cutscene?
-Ah, this is called a furrier.
The viewers expressed their satisfaction with the answer. Lee Kyung-bok smiled at that and finished preparing before heading to the GPS location.
The place we arrived at after dealing with the zombies was…
“Huh? I think it’s a pharmaceutical company because it looks like a pill is drawn on it⋯”
It was a pharmaceutical company building in Yukinawa. He squinted slightly and looked around.
The building was surrounded by barricades of trucks, and several yakuza were on top of them, watching the area.
-A pharmaceutical company? Could this be the second Regenpharm?
-Ugh… My head…!
-Jessica’s nightmare again⋯!?
-Shikadan PTSD lol
-What the heck is this conspiracy by the pharmaceutical company!
The viewers felt ominous about it. But the following situation made everyone change their minds.
“Hey! Catch that kid!”
“what!?”
“Hey, hey, Researcher! Where are you going!?”
A researcher in a white coat ran out of the building in a panic. The yakuza and guards chasing him aimed their guns at him.
“This, this is crazy! You guys are also human beings⋯! How⋯ How could you do something like this!?”
The researcher slowly walked towards the exit with a sobbing voice.
“This kid…! Wants to die!?”
“If you don’t want to get screwed, go back now!”
The yakuza released the safety of their guns, but the researcher shook his head with a bewildered expression.
“I, I won’t do it. I can’t help this crazy thing⋯”
Before he could finish his sentence, a single gunshot was heard. The researcher fell to the ground.
The white gown slowly began to turn red.
“⋯It looks like the yakuza are forcing us to do something.”
-Researcher Nimuㅠㅠㅠ
-It doesn’t seem like there’s a mastermind behind it like Regen Farm?
-I guess the researchers were caught too lol
-What are the Yakuza trying to do with the virus?
While everyone was guessing what was going on, a yakuza came out of the building and kicked the dead researcher.
“Damn, I’m going to hear something from my brother.”
“Hey, try to do a good job of making sure other guys don’t have weird thoughts.”
“Well, it was boring, but this was a nice way to kill some time.”
The yakuza burst into laughter, finding the situation amusing. Soon, one of them roughly knocked over a transport trailer with the aquarium’s name on it.
“Hey! You guys heard that too!? If you rebel for no reason, you’ll die!”
“Ah, I’m wasting bullets, so I’ll cut the head off the next guy who dies.”
“Hey, hey, stop it. What if I pee in there?”
The guys laughed again and returned to their seats.
Everyone had a gut feeling about the series of events.
“Wow, there are people trapped there.”
-Isn’t that the one? The one transporting dolphins and sharks?
-Muchin;;; Looks like you pushed it into the aquarium tank
-It certainly seems like a good substitute for prison.
-Are the Yakuza guys unnecessarily creative?
-Why the f*ck did you kidnap those people;;
– Judging from what the researcher said, it seems like they’re doing some crazy experiment.
-Huh? So Sandra is in one of them too?
Lee Kyung-bok also nodded at the viewers’ concerns. It was too far away to detect, but judging by the GPS, it was likely so.
“uh?”
The moment he tried to check the GPS signal again, the terminal vibrated.
When he turned on the radio, Lee Gyeong-bok opened his eyes wide at the voice he heard.
“This is John.”
“I got it from Ryan Kim.”
“No, I’m alone. Ryan went to the US military base first.”
As Lee Gyeong-bok relayed the situation, a short sigh was heard over the radio.
“As you can see, the situation is not good.”
The viewers also nodded their heads at the words of the Providence agent heard over the radio.
-It’s definitely a tough situation.
-ㅇㅇ I don’t know how much longer it will be in the building.
-Huh? But can’t you still push it with the equipment?
-If a shootout breaks out, there’s a good chance that one of the hostages will die?
-Really lol. Transport tanks can’t stop bullets.
-Oh no! It could be Sandra!
Lee Kyung-bok also agreed with him.
After a brief silence, the agent continued speaking.
“yes?”
Dae-won continued speaking in a quiet voice, as if trying to calm Lee Gyeong-bok down.
The chat window quickly filled up with comments about that suggestion.
-Oh? Is this okay too?
-The yakuza have also set up shop there, so I don’t think they’ll be leaving anytime soon lol
-Wouldn’t it be more certain if we farmed the police headquarters equipment as well?
-If the US military joins, wouldn’t it be possible to completely destroy them all?
– Hahaha, American soldiers are kings.
While there were those who supported Daewon’s methods, there were also those who opposed them.
-What the f*ck, what would happen if something happened to Sandra Gosae?
-Seriously lol, it’s obvious that they’re doing a dangerous experiment
-HOXY Sandra is being pushed to the back?
-Kingdom Providence is John’s top priority lol
-I think it would be better if Godple infiltrates instead lol
While the viewers’ opinions were divided, Lee Kyung-bok finished his thoughts.
“Understood. For now, please avoid engaging the yakuza.”
The viewers were surprised by the decision, but before Daewon could finish answering, Lee Kyung-bok interrupted him.
“No, I’m not going.”
“I will deal with them alone.”
The agent raised his voice as if to represent the question marks spreading across the chat window.
But Lee Kyung-bok didn’t care. Instead, he smiled faintly and grabbed the machine gun.
“Don’t worry.”
And I attached the silencer I brought with me.
“I’ll handle it quietly.”
I was confident that I could do it without the yakuza or the hostages knowing.
