Episode 661 – Pour the work (3)
Early afternoon, Team Perfect meeting.
But the place the team members arrived at was not where they usually went.
“Ehhhh, what the heck is this?”
“That’s true. Mr. Madman, you had a hard time yesterday. You should take care of yourself!”
“No, Mr. Daehan? Me? I edited it really hard too?”
“Hey, you’ve had a hard time too, Team Leader.”
The three people, including Choi Byung-hoon, arrived at a luxurious Wagyu Omakase restaurant.
Everyone was excited about the delicious meat.
“Team ha! You all came early!”
“We are here.”
Lee Kyung-bok and Park Joo-ho arrived on time as usual. Everyone was greeted warmly and seated.
Lee Kyung-bok picked up his cup as everyone filled their glasses with drinks.
“Okay, you’ve filled it all out? Then, let’s celebrate our 1 millionth Pertube membership subscription! Cheers!”
“Wow! Thank you for your hard work!”
“Congratulations on your successful Pertube!”
The team members also clinked their glasses in joy. Although it was nominally a meeting, it was actually a dinner to celebrate 1 million paid subscribers.
Lee Kyung-bok, who shook his head lightly, smiled broadly.
“Wow, I was so surprised when I first heard it when I woke up today. Did everyone else hear it beforehand?”
“We heard it while editing all night.”
“Huh, I should have seen the boss’s reaction when he heard it⋯”
“But Purple, taking care of your condition is more important.”
“Hmm, that’s the top priority. No, wait, but how did you make a reservation here? You heard about it this morning, right?”
Everyone nodded and turned their eyes at Madman’s words. No matter how you looked at it, it was a place so luxurious that it was obvious that it was operated by reservation only.
“Oh, it wasn’t that difficult because it was a weekday lunch. My aunt helped me out too.”
The team members also let out a small sigh at that explanation. When they followed Choi Byung-hoon to find Lee Kyung-bok’s family grave, they all greeted Yang Gyu-ri.
‘Oh, that person was really great.’
‘Wow, there were cars parked there that I’d never seen before, but they really are different.’
‘When I spoke to Purple, she was very kind.’
While the team members were recalling their first impressions, Park Joo-ho added:
“It’s a good place, but I think this guy deserves this much. When I came here today, I saw that his subscriber base had grown to over 1.1 million.”
“Huh? Really? 100,000 more?!”
“Wow, this is seriously awesome⋯!”
“Ah! That’s it! You’ve confirmed that Perfect Inner Voice has been applied!”
“That must be true! I’m sure there are people who have had concerns⋯!”
As everyone’s eyes widened, Lee Kyung-bok burst into laughter.
“Rather, I’m watching your reactions. Oh, and it also has to do with why we decided to have our company dinner here today.”
“Well, this kid chose Japanese food because he said that there are a lot of Japanese fans among the new membership subscribers. Well, it’s about 70%, so I guess that makes sense.”
Everyone’s faces brightened when they heard the reason for choosing the company dinner location.
“Wow, crazy! 70%!?”
“Ugh! Isn’t Japan a country that values the voice?”
“The merit of our membership is definitely the boss’s dubbing.”
“Well, you can tell just by watching this vlog. No, even professional voice actors were clamoring for Inma’s voice.”
The atmosphere became very warm with the good news. Soon, when the fire and meat were brought in, the atmosphere really got hot.
Then the meal began and Lee Gyeong-bok continued the conversation naturally.
“Oh, but it seems like they really like my voice. I heard on the way here that they’ve received an offer for an additional contract.”
“Huh? An additional contract?!”
“No, what is it? Is today really my day!?”
“Huh? Boss! Is this by any chance the inner voice pack!?”
Among the team members, Jo Dae-han was the first to notice the content. It was natural for him to observe overseas reactions in addition to his work.
“Yes, that’s right. I saw in my email this morning that there was a meeting request regarding the launch of the Perfect Inner Voice Pack.”
“You said any time was fine, so I decided to eat this before I go.”
Lee Kyung-bok spoke casually, as if he were going for a walk. However, his team members’ reactions were not like that.
“Wow, wow! It’s really a double slope!”
“Wow, as expected from Cap Company! They’re really quick-witted. You have to go when the momentum is going strong!”
“Huh, our boss’s class is really crazy! No, wait, if we do this, we can apply it to collaboration goods too⋯ Huh!”
While everyone was having fun, Madman quickly covered his mouth. However, his actions only drew more attention.
“Collab goods…?”
“Oh, no. That’s why⋯”
Madman’s pupils shook violently. The content he had decided to keep secret leaked out in joy.
Then her gaze turned to Park Joo-ho. The only people who knew about the collaboration goods were herself and Park Joo-ho, who had gone to see the story at the time.
But surprisingly, Park Joo-ho did not blame her.
“Well, that sounds like a good idea.”
Instead, he nodded in agreement. Everyone’s attention turned to him.
“You don’t have to worry too much. This guy knows the storyline and stuff. I haven’t revealed the details, so it’s safe.”
“Right? Phew⋯”
As Madman finally let out a sigh of relief, Lee Kyung-bok smiled faintly.
“If you say that, then you’re okay with not having to explain the story?”
There was no ominous feeling.
Lee Kyung-bok asked with ease.
“Tell me more.”
It seemed like it would be a good dinner in many ways.

Late afternoon, CAP Company Korea branch.
Lee Kyung-bok and Park Joo-ho arrived at the scheduled meeting time.
“As expected, you’re on time again today! I’ve been waiting for you!”
The branch manager burst into laughter along with the welcome. Soon he bowed his head politely and expressed his gratitude.
“It was an urgent matter, but I didn’t expect you to respond so quickly. Thank you again for your time.”
“No, we are no longer simply streamers and advertisers.”
The branch manager’s eyes widened at Lee Kyung-bok’s answer. He smiled and added.
“Our team name is on the line for this Bark 2, so of course we have to pay more attention to it.”
The branch manager couldn’t hide his surprise at that answer.
‘Is he an equal business partner? He’s definitely a big distributor.’
This meant that Team Perfect, represented by Lee Kyung-bok, and Sa-cheok were not in a superior-subordinate relationship.
‘That’s something I can say since you’re Purple.’
If another streamer had said this, it would have been beyond absurd and offensive. But the CEO had already seen his influence in numbers at the executive meeting.
“I really appreciate you taking on this responsibility. Oh, excuse me. Let’s sit down and talk.”
The branch manager repeatedly thanked them and guided them to their seats. Soon, he smiled broadly and displayed the contract he had prepared as a hologram.
“This is the information I sent you via email first. It’s about an additional contract for the release of the Perfect Inner Voice Pack.”
The two immediately checked the contents of the contract. Soon, both of them opened their eyes wide.
“We’re at 90%?”
“It’s the same conditions as the Demerk Voice Pack contract.”
This wasn’t the first time I’d seen a voice pack contract. I’d seen a contract with the same terms and conditions in the same place.
However, Lee Kyung-bok and Park Joo-ho felt more puzzled than uneasy.
“It was a really good situation back then, but aren’t things a bit different now?”
“Yes. At the time, I remember hearing an explanation that the conditions were adjusted by providing voice data from our side.”
“Hmm, I guess it must have cost a lot of money to build the inner voice system.”
Intuitively, there was no problem, but Lee Kyung-bok observed the branch manager’s expression. It was obviously better to know for sure than to just pass over it without knowing.
At that gaze, the branch manager smiled brightly.
“We really appreciate your consideration for our efforts. But this time, there is a reason.”
“I think that’s a reason why you can speak comfortably.”
“Of course. As you said, aren’t we partners? Well, first, I should tell you again about my position during the patent controversy. We still think that Purple’s idea has a big share in the Inner Voice System.”
The branch manager continued his explanation, leisurely counting on his fingers.
“Next, this is also related. All contracts are confidential, but ultimately, they are done by people. Sooner or later, rumors will spread within the industry. This contract will be no exception.”
“Certainly, the bigger the company, the more people involved, the more likely it is that this will happen.”
“Yes, but what if we make that explanation and then take advantage of Purple-nim in the name of system costs?”
“Indeed, it is a case of self-inflicted wounds.”
“We do not want that kind of tarnishing of our image.”
The branch manager nodded as the two immediately understood.
“Yes. In common parlance, it would be a cap-cap. That’s why I made a new proposal with the original conditions.”
Lee Kyung-bok also smiled at the sight of the CEO leisurely joking.
“Certainly… I thought it was a really good deal even back then.”
“Besides, this time we didn’t have to put in the effort to extract the data.”
The previous voice pack contract was also a windfall. At that time, the amount Team Perfect spent was just a cup of coffee given to the sound engineer. However, Park Joo-ho did not bother to add that.
“I’m glad you liked it. Then⋯?”
The branch manager was confident that the contract would be signed based on the two people’s reactions. However, Lee Kyung-bok quietly pushed the contract aside.
“I have read the contract carefully. However, I think we can think of a better way to do it.”
“⋯You don’t like the conditions?”
It was an unexpected reaction.
The branch manager controlled his expression and thought about it. Even if it was Lee Kyung-bok, wouldn’t it be too much to ask for better conditions here?
“No, the conditions are sufficient.”
“⋯Yes?”
“What I would like to suggest is about utilizing my inner voice data. I think it doesn’t have to end with just a voice pack.”
At those words, the branch manager’s eyes rolled around. Park Joo-ho added an explanation to stop his wandering.
“We received the proposal and had a meeting within the team. We came up with the idea that it could be used for this collaboration goods as well. However, we would like you to refrain from providing any explanations related to the story so that it does not affect the broadcast.”
“Ah! If it’s collaboration goods⋯!”
“Yes. I heard that my character figure comes out in a unique way.”
Only then did the branch manager’s eyes catch the light. Through the series of explanations, he also noticed what the two wanted.
“Are you talking about the voice figure?”
“Yes. I heard that unlike regular figures, in-game dialogue is played.”
“I didn’t reveal any details in case Purple could infer the situation in the game by listening to the dialogue.”
The branch manager’s expression became serious at this. It was because he realized the gravity of the matter as he clearly understood what Team Perfect wanted.
“Certainly… I have already judged that the demand for Perfect Inner Voice has been proven. Of course, I expect that there will be demand for voice figures as well…”
“Of course, we understand your position. Naturally, this cannot be tied to the same conditions as the voice pack.”
“Voice figures are not data but actual products. We ask that you adjust the production costs borne by the company.”
The two men had already anticipated this situation when they came. The branch manager nodded with a look of relief at those words.
“Wow, you are really skilled. This is definitely not something I can decide on my own. I will handle it as a separate matter and discuss it in the executive meeting as soon as possible and then contact you.”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at that answer and pulled out the contract he had put away.
“Thank you. Then let’s first sign the contract for the release of the Inner Voice Pack.”
After the signing, the branch manager smiled with a slightly tired expression.
“Thank you. I guess I’ll have to finish the voice figure before the collaboration goods are announced. Fortunately, I think I’ll have enough time.”
“Yes, please take care of it. Oh, then can we announce the Inner Voice Pack on the broadcast?”
“Of course. I think you all will like it. Oh, the Inner Voice Pack thing seems okay, but I’d like to ask for the Voice Figure thing after it’s been decided.”
“Of course. You don’t necessarily have to hear good news all at once.”
Lee Gyeong-bok nodded while shaking hands with the branch manager.
“I’ll leave this as a surprise too.”

Evening, regular broadcast time.
First, the gathered viewers chatted while waiting for Lee Kyung-bok.
-Did you successfully watch the original broadcast of Moon Hyung?
-Why are you mentioning Tass so blatantly? Lol
-Ah haha it’s okay because it hasn’t aired yet haha
-Isn’t there anyone who hasn’t followed the Perfect Live Streaming Method?
-Oh lol, the original broadcast method lol
-Small really ran a lot, lol
-I barely finished chapter 2 to avoid spoilers. Imari
The main topic of conversation was the solution that came out of D’Artagnan’s last broadcast, and streamers and game fans alike have tried the method.
-It’s true that the first time you play the game, you just have to follow the story straight through ㅋㅋㅋ
-You can really enjoy it from the second time!
-Bark is a multi-use machine, Imari, lol
-So, you’re saying that Godple is showing multi-play?
-It’s only the first time, but it’s multiple times, because that’s the perfect zone (nod)
While everyone was chatting happily, time passed steadily on time.
“Tha! It’s a good night for catching zombies!”
The screen turned on and Lee Kyung-bok entered the studio. The viewers welcomed him with open arms.
Lee Kyung-bok expressed his gratitude by clapping lightly and then clapped his hands strongly at the end.
“Okay! Today we’re going to play Bark 2. But before we do, I have something to tell you.”
Those words left a question mark in the viewers’ minds. And some viewers noticed a change.
-What is the notice?
-Oh? What is this paid advertisement?
-What? Why is it already up?
-5252, Do you have more homework?
-I didn’t even play the game, but I have homework?
-HOXY⋯ Did you do ‘Demerk’?
It was thanks to the ads that appeared before I even launched the game.
“Ah, as expected from our listeners! You have a keen eye for detail.”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at him and lightly snapped his fingers.
“I had a meeting with Cap Company today! Why? Yes, as you might have guessed, it’s news of the release of the Perfect Inner Voice Pack DLC!”
His announcement sent the chat room into a frenzy.
-What?
-The big one is here! The big one is here! The big one is here!
-Can we play with our inner voice later!?
-Wow! Goddamn it, I feel so alive lol
-Persimmon tree: I admit it.
-Is this the perfect collaboration? Is this the collaboration I knew?
-They all collaborate, isn’t that a perfect collaboration?
-Perfect Inner Voice Collection? I can’t resist this ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Button, give me the buy button! I’m dying!
-God damn it ㅋㅋ You can’t quit the Perfect Voice Pack after trying it?
Lee Kyung-bok smiled and politely expressed his thanks to everyone’s excited appearance.
“Oh, I’m glad everyone is happy. Thanks to the support of our fans, I was able to release my second voice pack. As you know, I gave my voice data to the company, right? I was told that it will be released at least before the end of today’s broadcast.”
-Oh lol, can I buy it right after the broadcast ends?
-WA! God, work is on!
-What the heck lol DLC released in one day lol
-???: Can I get some rest now?
-I was thinking of resting after finishing the Day One patch, but something came up again?
-5252, how much is it going to split? LOL!
-???: Hey, this is fucking awesome;;
-Hey lol are you crazy lol
-But seriously ㅋㅋ If this guy just plays games, he somehow gets work done.
The viewers burst into laughter at the schedule that Lee Kyung-bok relayed. This was because they thought of the developers who couldn’t rest even after the game was released.
“Oh, the developers are really working hard. There’s a lot more they’re preparing right now.”
Soon, Lee Kyung-bok began to speak, and everyone’s attention returned. Lee Kyung-bok smiled at the question marks that appeared in the chat window.
“Oh, this is probably something that people who watched Genom’s broadcast would know. Aside from the collaboration shirt I’m wearing right now, there’s also other goods, right? These are related to the game’s progress.”
-Ouch! Perficial!
-Gotcom stock, now!?
-What you’re saying is… isn’t that a joke?
-Oh my gosh lol You didn’t believe me lol
-Will it come out when it’s officially released?
-Since it’s a game progress chart, then who has to see the ending?
-Then it will be revealed here, right? LOL
-Ah haha, Perkle is definitely a god player!
Viewers didn’t know about the existence of the voice figure, but the mere fact that there were more collaboration goods made them unable to contain their anticipation.
‘As expected, you’re cute.’
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at the excited viewers and clapped his hands loudly again.
“Okay! That’s all for the announcement! I’m also curious about how it will work. There’s only one way to check, right?”
Soon the studio disappeared and the main menu of Biocrisis appeared.
The only answer he gave was.
“Biocrisis Day 2! Let’s start playing!”
It was about staying true to the streamer’s duty.
