The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting - Chapter 682
Only Krnovel
Episode 682 – President Baton says (2)
Game webzine Metagamer headquarters.
Even though Lee Kyung-bok’s broadcast ended, Shin Hye-rim couldn’t leave work right away.
‘Huh!? Isn’t this event just for me?’
It was because of the PPL event that Lee Kyung-bok announced before the game started. Unlike other viewers, didn’t she come to collect data to write an article?
Taking notes while monitoring was basic, and I was also confident in my ability to create clips.
“Wow! This is already up!?”
But that confidence soon crumbled. Since the lines that everyone felt were good were similar, it was ultimately the skill of making clips that was important.
Unfortunately, her skills in the clipper industry were only beginner level.
‘Hmm… Since it’s come to this, I guess we’ll have to make a bet on tomorrow’s broadcast.’
I thought about trying to win with the lines I had written down, but I gave up. They were a bit lacking, and when I looked for them just in case, I found that someone had already posted them.
“Ugh! I have to get off work… Huh?”
She stretched out as much as she could, but soon straightened up again. It was because of Genome’s broadcast notification.
She was intrigued by the title and immediately started watching Genome’s broadcast.
“Whoa! As expected! You know a thing or two! The real showdown is tomorrow!”
The genome seemed to have read her mind and eased her worries. But it didn’t end there.
“Huh!? Crazy⋯!”
When Lee Kyung-bok’s voice was heard at the end of the call, she covered her mouth. It must have been an unexpected gift to the fans.
“⋯Team Perfect is the one for this event!?”
But the real gift was something else. My intuition as a reporter reacted sharply.
She quickly scanned the articles that had appeared in the capsule section.
“This⋯!”
There was already an article published about this PPL event. Of course, it wasn’t written by her.
Although we are collaborating with Lee Kyung-bok, this is clearly a Biocrisis 2 event.
‘There’s no such thing in the press release⋯!’
It wasn’t an article written by the capsule team. The developer simply provided information about the event.
‘No, why didn’t you include such important information?’
It was not a question, but a sigh. Shin Hye-rim could easily infer the reason.
As Lee Kyung-bok said, he didn’t have any particular thoughts and the company didn’t think it was necessary to reveal them.
“Ugh… It’s ambiguous…”
As a reporter and a fan, I wanted to share this story, but the circumstances were not favorable.
‘The amount is too small compared to the impact⋯’
It was a great thing, but it would only take a few lines to express in words. It wasn’t even something that could be reported as breaking news, and game webzines rarely publish breaking news.
Even as his worries deepened, the broadcast continued.
Unlike her who was frowning, the studio was bustling. Shin Hye-rim couldn’t help but laugh at the chat window that was filled with ‘ㅋㅋㅋ’ and ‘추’.
A question mark appeared on Genome and her face, as well as in the chat window. Lee Kyung-bok continued speaking calmly.
“Oh! Mr. Purple, you work in sales, huh?”
Shin Hye-rim perked up her ears and concentrated.
In response to Genome’s comment, a number of opinions quickly emerged in the chat room in agreement.
[- Seriously lol If you look at it the wrong way from a company, you’ll lose your work lol]
[-Now that I think about it, this guy also used to be a company employee, lol]
[-That happened half a year ago!?]
[-Oh my gosh lol I can’t even imagine lol]
[-From a company employee to the world’s president in just 6 monthsㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-Fact) South Korea’s President Bae became president in his first week of debut]
While the viewers were surprised by this, Lee Kyung-bok finished the story.
When Genome added his own comment, everyone burst into laughter. Shin Hye-rim and the viewers agreed with his words, but they had their own thoughts.
‘No, that’s possible because you’re Purple.’
Isn’t this something that would be impossible for other people?
In the meantime, Genome ended the phone call. I feel sorry for him, but Shin Hye-rim immediately turned her attention.
‘⋯Okay, let’s give it a try!’
After hearing Lee Kyung-bok’s words, her worries were sorted out. Even though it was late, she immediately called the team leader.
“Sorry for being late, Team Leader! Is it okay for you to talk?”
“Oh, that⋯”
Shin Hye-rim explained the situation.
Just like Lee Kyung-bok, she decided to express her opinion to her superior who treated her well. The team leader also understood the context and responded.
“Ah⋯”
“I guess so⋯?”
Shin Hye-rim answered in a gloomy voice. However, there was a hint of laughter in the team leader’s words.
“⋯Yes?”
“Ah! Then⋯!”
“Yes! Yes! I’ll send it to you right away!”
After finishing the call, her eyes lit up with a lively expression as if nothing had happened.
I don’t know about anything else, but it has to do with Lee Kyung-bok.
“Wow! The world needs to know about this kind of good story!”
The news was good news.

Japanese YouTuber, Haru’s Broadcast
She was playing Chapter 3 of Biocrisis 2.
“The situation is not good due to internal infection. If you find any useful materials, please let me know where they are or secure them yourself.”
“Okay, I see. I never thought there would be infected people in the US military⋯”
However, the situation was completely different from Lee Kyung-bok’s broadcast. Haru, who came out with Purple at Ryan Kim’s request, calmly moved forward.
“John, wouldn’t it be better to look for the police headquarters or the yakuza offices?”
“Yes, that’s a good idea.”
Strangely enough, Haru’s reaction was indifferent. The chat room was filled with laughter at that sight.
-Harununimwww Your attitude is so different from yesterdaywww
– Sister Haru! You were such a chatterbox yesterdaywww
-Yes, I wonder if Mr. Purple’s live was actually poisonous.
-Ah, it’s so different from the original Purple C!
It was such a contrast to when he first met Purple. One day, he took a deep breath at the viewers’ teasing and asked Purple for a favor.
“Purple, can you tell me that you’ll protect me like you used to?”
“Yes? I’m John? Oh, it’s not that hard⋯”
Purple was puzzled by the request, but complied obediently. Upon hearing the returned message, Haru paused the game for a moment with a sigh.
“No! No no! This is the feeling! It’s absolutely wrong! It’s completely different from the original Purple C!”
She is also a streamer, so her reaction was a bit exaggerated.
“Huh, I also want to be protected by Purple like Sandra.”
Moreover, as a YouTuber who uses character avatars rather than real people, exaggeration was essential.
But the feelings contained within were not exaggeration, they were real.
-No no www Don’t say that with your perfect inner voice www
-Mr. Haru, have you forgotten that you are in the perfect zone right now?
-Ah, and Mr. White Purple is so kind! Do you feel like your self-esteem is at its peak?
-Hey hey hey! Purple-san, you better be serious! Sister Haru’s HP is going to go down to 0!
-The favor I received by force was an instant death for Sister Haru!?
That’s why viewers could enjoy that reaction too. One day, he glanced at the chat window as if he was resentful, but soon he laughed along.
“No, no, but seriously, I’m so jealous of Sandra! This is the first time I’ve ever been jealous of a character in a game. What should I do!? It’s like Sandra eats the best eel rice bowl, but I only eat eel sauce rice bowl!”
-I understood it right away and burst out laughingwww
-No no, Mr. White Purple will be disappointed if he hears thiswww
-Huh? Is that all!? Was the difference in voices that severe?
-But since the content is the same, isn’t the number of eels better than the sauce?
One day, I swallowed my breath in frustration at the viewers’ reactions.
“Huh? No, how could you not know this difference? The reason Purple-ssi’s line is cool is not just because of his voice! That’s basic!”
Soon she began to speak passionately.
“Really⋯! You all didn’t know Purple-ssi’s charm at all? The key is Purple-ssi’s attitude! The way he speaks so obviously⋯! Doesn’t it convey that protecting Sandra-ssi isn’t a special thing? That’s the first impressive point!”
-Huh? Onee-chan’s tension returns!?
-Right back to Purple C’s storywww
-Ah, I understand. I guess it feels like he’s always protecting Sandra.
-Hey, that’s definitely cool.
-Huh? Wait a minute! The first round? Does that mean there’s a second round?
One day, he burst into laughter while chatting and then turned off the Perfect Inner Voice option.
This was because I decided it was better to speak in my own voice.
“Totally shocking! I really thought you all had no idea! The second point in Purple’s words! Of course it’s confidence, right? The confidence that he’ll protect you ‘just like before’! But you can feel the composure that it’s nothing, right!?”
-Ohhh… Do you really feel that way?
-Usually in comics and animations, they say they’ll protect you with their liveswww
-Well, that kind of desperate determination isn’t bad either (laughs)
-Hey hey hey, you guysww Are you comparing yourself to comics?
-Anyway, Mr. Purple likes things to be fun!
-This, this, it feels like the words of a winner? It’s cool!
When the viewers agreed, Haru looked relieved.
“Hmm! That’s why I say, personally, ‘Don’t give up on your fans!’ is good, but I think this one will get a higher voter turnout, right? But isn’t it cooler to do something for one person rather than for everyone? Especially women will understand how I feel!”
As the chat window filled with likes, she checked the notification message that appeared in the corner of her vision.
It was a video sponsorship notification that was turned off during the game. She usually watched the videos she had saved like this together after finishing the game.
“Hey, I just happened to have a short break, so let’s watch a video!”
Since the video wasn’t very long, she pressed play. Soon, question marks filled the chat window.
-Huh? What? What video?
-Is this Korean?
-Ah! I know! It’s Mr. Genome!
-Huh? If it’s Mr. Genome, then it’s Purge Day?
-Huh? Wasn’t this guy a comedian?
-No no www I’m a streamer www
The video that was played was a clip from Genome Broadcasting. Viewers were confused because there were no subtitles, as if it was a recently made clip.
But soon the atmosphere changed.
“Huh!? Mr. Purple!?”
It was thanks to the familiar voice that came with the call connection. She immediately gave a live interpretation before the viewers could say anything.
-Huh? Huh?! Huh?! Huh!?
-This PPL event was started by Team Perfect?!
-Hey hey, this isn’t a joke! This is a world event!?
-A black company that even controls cap companies around the world⋯!
-No no www This is totally black magic www
-Is this real⋯! Is this the power of President Ba⋯!
Everyone was shocked by the behind-the-scenes story revealed by Lee Kyung-bok. However, one day, he emphasized the details further.
“Hey, hey! Mr. Purple, isn’t that amazing!? Oh, how can you be so humble?! Who knew you could be so perfectly humble⋯! Ah! I guess I’ll have to translate it for you!”
As the viewers were confused, one day, he continued with the commentary along with the interpretation.
“Why is this so great? In Japan, there is a culture called tatemae and honne. Distinguishing between the outside and the inside! What surprised me was that even in Korea, they know the Kyoto style of speaking.”
-Huh? Really? The Kyoto style was introduced to Korea too?
-What, Kyoto dialect would be embarrassing if it wasn’t taught to tourists, right?
-I guess Osaka is relatively honest.
-Huh? Is that why Mr. Purple only went to Osaka?
-I wonder, this has nothing to do with Mr. Purple’s humility?
Viewers sympathized, but then quickly became puzzled. What does Japanese culture have to do with Lee Kyung-bok?
“That’s why! Mr. Purple is Korean, so we shouldn’t judge him by our standards! Honestly, we tend to be more polite when we’re humble, right? But I can feel that Mr. Purple is truly giving credit to Cap Company.”
Most people agreed with him, but some were still puzzled.
-Huh? Don’t Koreans sometimes do this out of courtesy?
-Well, it’s true that Mr. Purple is a good person, but…
– Sister Haru www Are you looking at me like that because you like Purple C so much?
Perhaps it was because of her fandom that she was evaluated so generously. However, Haru was able to refute it right away.
“Ha! Really⋯! Don’t you all know Mr. Purple well? Mr. Purple isn’t that kind of person. Since Mr. Genome is here, everyone should look up G-Tube!”
That was also thanks to the fans.
One day, I watched all the broadcasts that Lee Kyung-bok appeared on.
“If you look at the first artisan anatomy that Mr. Purple came out with, you know? Surprisingly, it’s the world’s number one capsule tutorial! Mr. Purple himself admits it so proudly! If Mr. Purple was being politely humble, wouldn’t it have been the same then?”
You see as much as you know.
That was also true from the fans’ perspective.
“Even now! Mr. Purple didn’t deny any of the praise for Team Perfect, did he? Instead, he took care of the developers who were also worthy of praise, which the viewers missed! He took care of everyone who worked hard, not just himself?! Can’t you feel that everyone is on the same level as Mr. Purple?”
-Etto, I understand that Haru-san’s fan level is at MAX (laughs)
– Sister Haru www This is totally Dr. Purple C!
-Oh my, I can’t just call you a pervert in front of Sister Haru.
-Ah, I guess you didn’t even hesitate for a second to provide the basis for it.
-Huh? Sister Haru? How much have you been watching Pertube?!
The viewers were impressed and admired her fandom. Haru smiled confidently at the reaction.
“Huh? You all don’t have feelings for me? Should I not watch YouTube for a day? I’m getting hurt.”
She playfully joked and then shook his hand lightly.
“Of course I’m joking! I always feel everyone’s heart! And I got to know you better after becoming a fan of Purple C! Of course, if you’re a fan, you want to know the other person’s heart, right?”
Listening to someone you like. It was something that everyone took for granted.
One day, we decided to end the story with a big smile.
“So to speak, every day is a PPL event for me! I don’t let even one word from Mr. Purple slip by! Because⋯”
A perfect word is not determined by content or tone.
“Mr. Purple is worth it.”
It comes from a perfect person.
