Chapter 10 - Streamer Purple's Debut (3)

In the end, the scene that the viewers and Lee Kyung-bok had been expecting (?) did not happen. Although the mood was set after the kiss, the screen soon went dark.

"Ah, I was wondering if I should have gone further..."

When Lee Kyung-bok said this with a feigned look of disappointment, the chat window was flooded with "kkk."

- Hey! Purple is a guy, a guy!

- Do you really think you can do it without us?

- ???: If I can't have it, I'd rather turn it into ashes!

- Mengsk...

- It looks great^^

- Oh! They say men and women should not sit together after the age of seven!

- This time, it's my victory as a Confucian dragon.

- If I can't do it, neither can you... We're buddies, you know...

"Such a shame. He clenched his teeth and avoided the perfect game."

At this moment, the comments started pouring in. Of course, Lee Kyung-bok knew it was all in jest and responded with a smile.

- Really kkk

- Developers, reflect! Reflect!

- If you had added it, it would have been a perfect game, right?

- No, the uncomfortable legion would have immediately descended.

- Does the game ranking look like a zoo?

- In Korea, it's a deletion, Mr. High Gang^^

- Anyway, if you put it in, only Purple can do it, right?

- Ah kkk, then it's better not to put it in.

Meanwhile, the screen brightened again. It seemed that night had passed and morning had come. John ran his messy hair back and stood up.

"Did you wake up?"

Turning around, he saw Sandra's face up close, wearing a warm smile. The sunlight streaming in from the window highlighted her collarbone, visible through the unbuttoned shirt, and her eyes, filled with affection.

"I liked watching you sleep too."

Her words made the chat window boil over.

- Wow kkk, honey is dripping from your eyes.

- Is this a sweet drama, a shy drama, or a honey drama this time?

- Really, you've become honey, haven't you kkkkk

- I'm leaving the selling group and joining the honey group today.

- Reward? You guys can eat that!

- Sell immediately! Sell immediately!

- Why, why doesn't Purple get hate? Why do I get hate? Why...?

The viewers' attitudes quickly changed. Meanwhile, John simply smiled and stood up. Although it wasn't shown on screen, the sound of him getting dressed indicated the progress in their relationship.

- ???: Of course, you can even shower.

- Ah kkk, now I understand the meaning of the line.

- That was the bed, wasn't it?

- Wow kkk, there was a hidden route setup kkk

Looking at the chat window and laughing along, Lee Kyung-bok soon felt the control return to him.

The cutscene had ended.

"Thank you for being with me... When you're ready to leave, come back."

"Sure."

In response to Lee Kyung-bok's words, she smiled and looked at the map again.

- Oh kkk, now it's a farming quest.

- Check the hotel room; you might find recovery items.

- Ah, Purple will handle it!

- Can't you hold it in?

After checking the chat window, Lee Kyung-bok left the room.

"I think I'll go to the subway station right away. I'll take a look around first."

Leaving the suite, Lee Kyung-bok headed straight for the emergency stairs. Suddenly, a survivor approached from the opposite direction.

It was a child who looked like they had just started elementary school.

"John, you're here!"

The child, seeing John, ran over with short legs.

- I found John, you're here.

- Bark Live 1.16.1 easy installation

- What's a live version, damn kkkkk

- Oh kkk, a cute kid is here kkk

- Cute kid special: fearless.

- I endured because of this cute kid.

- But why is he already here?

The viewers seemed to recognize the child and greeted him warmly. Lee Kyung-bok knelt down to meet the child's eye level.

"What's up?"

"This."

"…A coin?"

The child held out a silver coin, placing a hand on his hip proudly.

"Unclaimed items should be given to the police, right?"

"Ah… Yeah, thank you."

Lee Kyung-bok nodded and patted the child's head. The child, smiling, ran down the corridor and disappeared down the stairs.

- Now?

- The gacha moment is here kkk

- Since you caught Logan, it's fine to take it.

- Ah, right kkkkk, your affection must be max now.

While Lee Kyung-bok examined the coin, comments started appearing. He could guess the coin's purpose.

"Ah, is this a gacha coin?"

- e

- It works in the lobby vending machine.

- Normally, you have to do favors for Logan to build affection...

- Sandra also started with max affection from all survivors kkk

- It's a multi-run route, right?

- ???: Multi-run? Just play it normally?

The viewers were convinced that the hidden route was based on completing the first run. Lee Kyung-bok decided to go to the lobby.

"I can't resist gacha. I'll go check it out."

As the viewer suggested, there was a vending machine in the lobby. Inside, question mark icons and various-sized boxes were displayed.

"It's a mystery box gacha."

Putting in the coin would result in one of these boxes being dispensed.

- If it's Purple, will he get the perfect one?

- What the hell kkkkk, this is just luck.

- But Purple has good luck kkk

- Cluster pot was his first try kkk

- mch, 1 in 12 and this are different dimensions

The viewers speculated about the outcome. Some shared their own experiences.

- But the probability is really extreme.

- I tried 30 times with save loading. Half of them were recovery items kkk

- Ah kkk, 500 tries in a solo game is legendary.

- Still, the best item didn't come out kkkkk

- Streamers made a lot of YouTube videos with this.

- They definitely manipulated the probability.

- These gumshoes only learned bad things.

- Gacha is originally from Japan!

- Why put gacha in a package game, damn

- Fact: People do it because it's fun.

It seemed there was a best item among the available items. Lee Kyung-bok couldn't help but ask.

"What's the best item?"

Since it was a gacha, this wasn't considered a hint.

- Some foreign streamer got it.

- Are you talking about AnatomyQA?

- He's the worst kkk

- He's not a gamer, he's a real anatomist kkkkk

- A crazy person who tears apart the game with pure hard work kkk

- Found the video kkk

A viewer attached a link. Even without watching the video, the thumbnail gave a good idea of the content.

"39,717? Is that the number of tries?"

It seemed he had done nearly 40,000 gacha attempts.

- Ah kkk, that's right kkkkk

- The point is how he deteriorates over time kkk

- Even with save loading, it takes a lot of time

- Damn, the video is like 4 hours long

- Fact: That's an edited version.

- Oh kkk, the golden shotgun is cool

The golden shotgun in the thumbnail seemed to be the best item.

"Oh, the golden shotgun... It's quite appealing."

Lee Kyung-bok's words made the chat window flood with "kkk."

- Will Purple challenge it?

- jrl, you need to see the hidden route.

- Our Purple doesn't need to waste time on this.

- Really kkk, he doesn't need item luck.

- Whatever Purple touches turns to gold.

- It's too accurate to be a coincidence.

- Streamers are so sweet kkk

Laughing at the response, Lee Kyung-bok picked up the coin.

"Ah, I think I'll try this. I'm not sure if it will make the game too easy, though."

- Anticipation ON!

- Spoiler: It's a recovery item.

- Ah kkk, ban spoilers

- No~ it's a miss~

- The sharp edge of a bitter retry

It seemed the viewers were chuckling behind the chat window. Lee Kyung-bok was just adding to the fun of the broadcast.

"Alright, let's try it."

As he grabbed the lever of the vending machine, a strange feeling washed over him. The sensation at his fingertips became extremely sensitive, and a peculiar physical feeling swept through his body, as if someone was tickling him.

'What is this?'

Unlike previous physical sensations, this one varied constantly. Sometimes it felt as soft as a lover's touch, and at other times, it felt like being scratched or even having the skin peeled off.

'...Is this a probability thing?'

While hesitating due to the unfamiliar physical sensation, the chat window quickly filled with comments.

- Right now!

- A big one is coming! A big one is coming! A big one is coming!

- Ah kkk, it's probably a bad item.

- Can you feel it physically?

- What physical sensation in a gacha, damn kkk

The viewers, thinking it was just for the fun of the broadcast, started to change their tone as Lee Kyung-bok's expression became serious.

- Purple seems focused.

- SLMA...

- If he gets the golden shotgun, it will be legendary.

- No way kkkkk

- No one in Korea has gotten it.

- If you're not going to do 40,000 tries, just pull it.

Lee Kyung-bok thought for a moment.

The viewers didn't know, but he was distinguishing the intensity of the physical sensations.

They were similar, but he could tell the difference when he focused.

'...The number of boxes here is the same.'

There were 27 in total.

As a result, Lee Kyung-bok realized that the number of boxes visible through the vending machine's glass matched the number of distinct physical sensations.

'This might work.'

Among them, there was only one that felt the most positive. It was the best feeling, so it stood out clearly.

Lee Kyung-bok instinctively knew it was the jackpot.

"Everyone, I..."

Just as he was about to make a bold declaration,

['Agent Q' has proposed a quest!]

[Condition – Get the golden shotgun in 10 tries or less.]

[Success – 2,000,000 won]

[Failure – Grovel until Sandra gets angry and swears at you]

A quest appeared.

- Oh kkk, Agent Q is here to make money.

- Agent Q? No, it's Long Q.

- Long Q is old, so let's just call him Q-long.

- Q-long kkkkkkkkk

- Can you do it in 10 tries? kkkkk

- Since it's a luck game, he came right in?

- You got hit hard with the physical sensation, didn't you?

- Look at the failure condition kkkkk, Q-long was in the selling group kkkkk

Laughing at the chat window, Lee Kyung-bok let go of the lever and smiled widely.

"Q-long, or Agent Q, thank you for the interesting quest."

As Lee Kyung-bok gave off the vibe that he was going to take the quest, the chat window immediately responded.

- Are you going to take it?

- Even if you're Purple, isn't this too risky?

- I believe in Purple!

- You're worse...

- Selling group, rise up!

- If you're not a troll, you should refuse kkk

- It's too much money to say no.

- Really kkk, 2 million with 10 tries is doable?

- As long as it's not me, it's fine eeeeee!

The chat window was a chaotic mess.

However, they didn't know that for Lee Kyung-bok, it wasn't just luck but a challenge.

"Then, Q-long, or Agent Q, I'll start the quest."

Lee Kyung-bok accepted the quest.

Since it wasn't a quest influenced by hints, the hint prohibition function was not activated this time.

- Now you're openly calling him Q-long kkk

- Oh kkkkkkkkk

- Purple certified Q-long kkkkk

- What's a P-in-Q?

- Purple/Personality/Controversy

While the viewers were chatting, Lee Kyung-bok closed his eyes and grabbed the lever. He was focusing all his senses to get the timing right.

- Why so serious? (Why is this so serious?)

- Yeah, it's probably a recovery item.

- I don't know.

- nn, even if you're a good player, luck is God's domain.

- But Purple is different, right?

- Right? kkkkk

- But seeing him focus, it might work.

- With Purple, something will happen, right?

The chat window was tense as the result came out suddenly.

With a click, Lee Kyung-bok suddenly pulled the lever.

- Wow! I was surprised.

- Why did you pull it without warning?

- It's a strain on the heart...

- How do you watch Bark's stream? (Changing underwear while watching)

- Wait, the box is a bit big?

Meanwhile, the machine arm inside the vending machine was selecting a mystery box.

The machine arm, which seemed to move randomly, eventually stopped in front of the largest box.

- ??????

- What? What is this?

- Eh? Eh? Eh?

- The size is just...

- It's a shotgun, right?

- Banned kkkkkkkkk

The machine arm grabbed the box.

It was larger than any other box. The machine arm carefully moved the box to the dispensing slot.

"Lucky."

Lee Kyung-bok smiled and took out the box.

- King got it kkkkkkk

- It's not just good, it's amazing kkk

- Unboxing right away?

- It came out on the first try? Damn, is this a game?

- Another legendary item kkkkk

- Is a game developer watching?

- Real-time probability manipulation

- Explain the bias! Explain the bias! Explain the bias!

Everyone guessed the contents.

Lee Kyung-bok lightly unwrapped the packaging and held the contents.

"Wow, it's even better than the thumbnail."

In his hand was a golden shotgun, shining brilliantly.

- Purple! Is he a god!? Purple! Is he a god!?

- God Purple! God Purple! God Purple! God Purple!

- Q-long OUT! Q-long OUT!

- King Electronics collapse! Everyone to the gold gacha! King Electronics collapse! Everyone to the gold gacha!

- If this were all real? If there were no crazy scientists?

- I am invincible. Purple is a 'god' and I am invincible. Purple is a 'god' and...

The chat window was flooded with manic comments. Lee Kyung-bok gave up on reading them.

There was something else he needed to see.

[Quest successful!]

['Agent Q' has sponsored '2,000,000' won!]

The quest success message.

"Q-long, or Agent Q, thank you for the valuable prize. I'm sorry I can't accept it now because I have the donation closed. You always say something every time."

His words changed the chat window's atmosphere. Among the countless "kkk," 'Agent Q's message caught his eye.

[Agent Q – Damn, I forgot what to say.]

[Agent Q – At this level, I should be Q-long...]

He was giving up the nickname 'Agent Q' and humbly accepting the new nickname 'Q-long.'

"Ah, then I can call you Q-long from now on. Thank you always!"

- Damn kkkkk, confirming the kill kkk

- What, asking for permission after doing it?

- What's with the personality?

- Is there a streamer who can kill with words?

- It's the first time Q-long is pitiful kkkkk

After clearing the situation, Lee Kyung-bok slung the golden shotgun on his back.

- What's the deal with this? kkk

- Wow kkk, it smells like a man.

- Masculine aura is off the charts

- Ah, a shotgun! A great conversation starter!

- Damn, all the zombies will come

He climbed the stairs again and collected items from other rooms. Perhaps because he had gotten the golden shotgun,

He found a lot of shotgun ammunition.

- Where did all the recovery items go?

- The difficulty seems to have increased again because of the best item.

- This is the worst.

- Bark adjusts the difficulty based on equipment kkkkk

- Wow kkk, the subway will be a blast

Lee Kyung-bok stood in front of the suite again.

"Ah, right?"

After checking the chat, he smiled and said,

"Then it will be even more fun now."

Through the open door, Sandra, equipped with gear, was visible.

Before moving the survivors, it was time to investigate the subway.
