Chapter 23 - Baton Commander Purple

In the early hours of the morning after the broadcast ended.

Usually, when a broadcast ends at this time, viewers would catch up on the sleep they had put off. However, the viewers of Lee Kyungbok's broadcast were different.

Among them, those who showed the most enthusiasm were undoubtedly the people active in the Bio Crisis community.

[People who like Sandra, give a thumbs up (999+)]

[(Major Spoiler) The reason why the Shikadang fell into hell (999+)]

[(Major Spoiler) Summary of the sequel's hints (999+)]

[(Major Spoiler) Today's perfect broadcast summary (999+)]

Even at this late hour, people gathered to share the excitement and emotion they felt from the broadcast.

Thanks to this, the community was more active than ever.

[What the hell is going on?]

[It happened because of the shift change, but what's all the fuss about?

Why did all the begles turn into spoilers?

Did the Purple broadcast even reveal hints for the sequel?]

[-I woke up and immediately checked the community, you deserve praise~]

[Okay, enough praise, tell us what it is!]

[Can't say ㅋㅋ Each part is a spoiler ㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Ah ㅋㅋ I still have some surprises left.]

[This is really ㄹㅇ lol, I might faint after watching the broadcast.]

[What do you mean by 'surprise'? Is Sandra going to betray?]

[산ㅋㅋ듴ㅋㅋㅋㅋ뱈ㅋ신ㅋ]

[kek, are you a Shikadang now?]

[Soon to be a member without any surprises]

Some people were just waking up and trying to understand the situation. Not knowing what kind of twist happened in the game, they were just confused.

And the viewers who watched the broadcast were busy teasing them, imagining their reactions.

[Developer's reaction translation (self-made)]

[A developer posted on the Bio Crisis community Reddit ㅋㅋㅋ

It's a bit awkward, but read it yourself since there's no 3-line summary.

<We have made a significant decision.>

<Our development team received a report from Cap Company's Korean branch.

It was news that a Korean streamer, 'PerfectPlay,' had seen the real ending we prepared.

We were truly surprised.

Because until now, no one, really no one, had reached that ending.

We were happy.

In fact, we were considering whether we had made the game too difficult and whether we should make it easier through an update.

And we saw it.

The method shown by the streamer 'PerfectPlay' was truly amazing. And it was a method that was difficult for ordinary gamers to follow.

Thanks to this, we realized.

We had made a mistake. We had made the game too difficult.

We had to acknowledge this.

We sincerely apologize to all the gamers who love our 'Bio Crisis.'

We will make the game easier to enjoy through future updates so that all gamers can enjoy the story.

Thank you.>

There might be some awkward parts.

But if you notice them, it means you're good at English.

So, you should do the translation ㅅㅂ]

At that moment, a post someone brought up caused a stir in the community.

[-Wow ㅋㅋㅋ It's amazing ㅋㅋㅋ]

[This is really something great]

[Can one streamer influence the development direction?]

[This is really impressive ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Is this a real developer's statement?]

[kek, you guys are finally coming to your senses.]

[Ah, Purple is 'real.']

[-If there's an update, can I escape with Sandra too?]

[Do you… have… that… ability?]

[kek, you're hitting the nail on the head ㅋㅋ]

[But it's true, right? Sandra's evaluation has to be good, and you can't use any recovery items ㅋㅋ]

[What do you mean by recovery items?]

[In the middle, Kurashika asks if you've ever used a recovery item, remember?]

[What? Is that part of the ending conditions too?]

[It seems to be about whether you save Sandra at the end. If you use a recovery item beforehand, the suitable factor might change, so you can't save her.]

[Wow… even with an update, it's still tough.]

[-But isn't GodPlay really a legend then?]

[What do you mean? Wasn't he a fake legend before?]

[Before the update, he was the only one who cleared it at the current difficulty level.]

[That's true.]

[kek, thinking about it, it's true.]

[It's giving me chills ㅋㅋ]

It was because the main office, not the Korean branch responsible for distribution and localization, recognized it.

Thanks to this, the enthusiasm didn't wane until morning.

[When was the last time there was such a surge of interest?]

[I thought the series was outdated because it would fade quickly after a brief spark ㅋㅋㅋ

But it turns out that the bakbugs were just not good enough to see the true value of the game ㅋㅋ

I was treated like a pervert for liking the heroine Sandra and getting criticized, but it was real love ㅋㅋㅋ

I've never seen such a reversal in evaluation while being a fan ㅅㅂㅋㅋ

As a Bak series fan, I'm really happy.

I will always be a GodPlay fan ㅋㅋ

[-This is true ㅋㅋ Without GodPlay, it would have just been a pile of rot.]

[Yeah, I joined after watching the early Purple broadcasts.]

[The rot would have all evaporated ㅋㅋ]

[If not, the next game might not have been released.]

[-Shouldn't we show some respect to GodPlay for this?]

[Yeah, GodPlay would be GodPlay anywhere.]

[kek, with that physique, he'd be GodGod anywhere.]

[-From now on, GodPlay will be known as the Baton Commander.]

[What's a Baton Commander ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Hey, but isn't it okay?]

[It's a vote by the bakbugs ㅋㅋ]

[Baton Commander! Baton Commander! Baton Commander!]

When someone started calling Purple the Baton Commander, the name spread like wildfire in the community.

[It's all good, but let's be careful.]

[Remember the Bakworms from last time?

We all got criticized because of some weirdos.

Now, if we call GodPlay the Baton Commander, it might cause trouble again.

If you're a Bak fan, you should crack down on those kinds of people.]

[-This is true ㅋㅋ]

[Some people will definitely lose their minds.]

[We should break all the dongs.]

[-Don't ask for Bak in the next broadcast.]

[Yeah, that's right. If he becomes a Baknew, his image will be ruined.]

[Let the Baton Commander do as he pleases.]

The public opinion formed in this way became firmly established.

Thus, Lee Kyungbok's first loyal viewers were born.

And their attention was now on one thing.

[What game will he play next?]

[Honestly, I'd be grateful if he plays Bak, but I don't think he will. There's no reason to sell the existing ending now ㅋㅋ]

[-With the Baton Commander's physique, there's no game he can't dominate.]

[He'll probably play a more mainstream game now.]

[Is Bak a minor game?]

[Let's acknowledge what we should, bakbug…]

[What do you mean? The Baton Commander made it mainstream ㅋㅋ]

[Ah ㅋㅋ I didn't know that.]

The game Lee Kyungbok would play in the next broadcast.

[-Since he played a modern setting game, the next one will probably be a fantasy game.]

[That sounds likely.]

[What fantasy games have come out recently?]

[The Watcher?]

[Maybe he'll bring an old game to avoid being called a bakbug ㅋㅋ]

[Is that what bakbugs call 'recent' games?]

[Hey! The Watcher is still a top-tier game!]

[How about a round of Gent?]

The Watcher.

A game set in a fantasy world where monsters and magic exist, allowing players to enjoy the adventures of the Watcher, a member of the Watcher clan.

Interestingly, the card game Gent within the game is famous. It was so popular that it was released as a standalone game.

It was also adapted into a drama in the United States due to its popularity.

[-With the Baton Commander's physique, it would be a low-power game. Elden Soul, perhaps.]

[But Elden Soul… I couldn't even clear the tutorial and had to refund it.]

[It's a difficulty level that makes you want to vomit ㅋㅋ]

[But Elden Soul has magic, right?]

[The casting time is long, making it even harder for mages ㅋㅋ]

Elden Soul.

The latest installment in the 'Elden' series, known for its dark and uniquely solemn atmosphere.

It is famous for its difficulty level, which even seasoned gamers find challenging, but the sense of achievement gained through gradual progression and the bizarre yet mysterious monster designs have captivated gamers worldwide.

It's a game that oozes 'coolness.'

[-Considering the Baton Commander's shooting skills, Gunner Ground would be perfect.]

[But it doesn't have a story, does it?]

[He could probably dominate the battle royale genre too.]

[But Gunner Ground has a lot of luck involved, doesn't it?]

[What if he gets a golden shotgun from the loot box?]

[Ah, right ㅋㅋ]

[For battle royale, Outlaw Universe would be good too.]

[That's too much of a Western game.]

[But the PVE
