Genius’s Godlike Game Broadcast-Chapter 50 : Purge Day (1)

Purge Day (1)
Genome preferred using his own fan cafe over the official fanpage provided by Tri.
Even his daily broadcast schedule announcements were always posted there.
[Today's broadcast – Part 1: GunnerGround Duo Rank (Feat. Purple) / Part 2 – Secret?]
Even among fans, broadcast announcements typically did not attract much attention. The title alone was enough to guess the content, after all.
But this announcement was different.
[-Wow lol, just scheduled it right away~]
[na: Seriously, he's got insane initiative.]
[na: Isn't the manager the one struggling instead of Genome?]
[na: For real lol, turns out it was the manager being proactive?]
[-Hyung, revise the announcement title a bit (Rank-〉Carry/bus)]
[na: LOL, for real though.]
[na: Genome, you rascal! How dare a passenger call it 'rank'!]
[na: Looking forward to the zero-to-hundred carry/bus lol]
[na: At this rate, shouldn't your name be included under Feat too? lol]
[na: True dat, lol]
[-Why is there even a Part 2? This is nonsense, shouldn't it be a full joint stream?]
[na: Audacious Part 2, lol]
[na: Thinks he's on the same level just by collabing with Godple?]
[na: Ah, this is it lol]
[na: And annoyingly wrote Secret? in there lol]
[-Instead of Part 2, post the next collab schedule in advance, I can't watch today!]
[na: Me neither......]
[na: Living life diligently vs catching collab live]
[na: Haha, definite catch-up needed]
[na: A world where true viewers prevail]
[na: Is this that 'lost but fought well' thing?]
[na: Don't the Genomes only have one option anyway?]
[na: Students, stay out^^]
Despite being a simple announcement, comments flooded in. This showed just how much viewers had been anticipating the joint broadcast with Purple.
[-So then, whose stream will you watch?]
[na: That's a real dilemma lol]
[na: If you talk loyalty, it's got to be Genome hyung......]
[na: Go to Godple's stream and banter? Can't pass that up lol]
Meanwhile, some viewers couldn't hide their awkwardness. They were originally Genome's fans, but also wanted to participate in Purple's broadcast chat.
[-Come on;; ever heard of multitasking? lol]
[na: For real lol, any true viewer has at least four streams open by default, right?]
[na: It's a duo anyway, so you can just keep both on, no problem lol]
[na: Huh? Aren't there restrictions sometimes?]
[na: There are separate games for that.]
[na: Yeah, only games like 'WitchWitch' where you can't stream snipe have viewing limits.]
[na: Haha, just top up your donation wallet.]
Longtime viewers quickly suggested solutions.
[-Wow lol, today really is guaranteed to be hilarious lol]
[na: For real, this physical combo is insane]
[na: Predicting legendary broadcast]
[na: Facing Godple... physical skills!?]
[na: So this is the relativity of physical skill?]
[na: Relativity, lol]
[na: In front of Godple, even Genome is just all talk...]
[na: Tri's ultimate physical meets Tri's ultimate talker!]
With growing expectation and excitement, the broadcast time approached.
* * *
At the start of broadcast time, Lee Gyeongbok received an invite to Genome's virtual reality studio.
Purple's streams were known for getting straight into games with little idle chat, but Genome was different.
'Wow, it keeps rising.'
From the moment the broadcast started, the viewer count shot past four thousand. Yet even so, genome hadn't even shown Lee Gyeongbok's appearance to the viewers yet.
― Hyuuung? Where's Godple!?
― Haha, I'm getting dizzy here
― Are you messing with me right now?
― Come on lol, you're laughing so it seems like a joke
Even as viewers clamored, genome stayed composed.
"Huh? You're being so uncooperative, I might just end the stream. Should I send Purple home?"
― Of course we're the ones who have to wait^^7
― So faithful^^7
― That's some tough hostage lol
― Giving you a pass just for Godple, really
― I hope Purple gets to host the joint stream someday...
Genome smirked and clapped at the chat window responses.
"All right, today's VVIP, no, 'God-level' special guest! Let me introduce Purple!"
― Queue the cheers!
― Editor, you can start writing from here
― If you're Korean, subscribe to GTube and Purple channel!
― Finally!
― The big one's coming! Big one's coming! Big one's coming!
Amid growing drumbeats, Lee Gyeongbok's vision flashed. As with the previous collab, his position shifted in the blink of an eye.
"Trha! Hello, everyone!"
It was already his second time, so Lee Gyeongbok greeted the audience smoothly. His stream went live at the same moment.
― Purple's stream is up!
― Haha! Farewell, genomes!
― You're not needed anymore!
― Look at the exodus of viewers lol
With that, Purple's viewer count skyrocketed. But contrary to the chat, the viewer numbers on Genome's stream barely dipped.
"Long time no see! Purple, how have you been?"
"It hasn't been that long, but it really feels like ages."
"Exactly! That just means you and I shouldn't be apart, right?"
-????
― Was the carry/bus stop here all along?
― Check out the boarding speed, damn
― Genome, you're embarrassing us...
Genome laughed loudly, unfazed.
"So, before we get started, I wanted to ask about what you've been up to. I was honestly surprised—you started GunG the very next day after our collab, right?"
"Oh, yes. I mentioned it during my broadcast too, but I worried I might become the weak link."
That topic had been prearranged, so Lee Gyeongbok answered at ease.
― Weak link lol
― Godple, a burden? That's like a camel going through the eye of a needle
― Isn't the needle's eye way too big?
― Probably more like nanometers, lol
― Ha, still, the 'weak link'
If you start the game too early, some viewers miss the opening segment. Not many, but some end up waiting to catch the full replay and drop out.
But by the time those full replays were up, most lost interest and never watched them.
'To avoid that, when a show gets bigger, it's better to start the game more slowly.'
Lee Gyeongbok recalled his broadcast know-how and focused on the interview.
"No, but I really caught Purple's highlights. And you say you were a weak link?! How is someone with a 32-kill first day in a brand-new game a weak link? You wiped out almost a third of the players!"
"Wait, did I?"
― Did Godple do that?
― He was the warlord among warlords!
― As expected from a [Black Company] comment
― It's always the victim who remembers, not the perpetrator
― Oh... sudden trauma...
Genome gave a helpless chuckle at Lee Gyeongbok's reaction.
"There you go again, firing off a deception breath. There are a lot of people who'd include just one of your plays on their funeral playlist, you know."
― Let us show the deceased's sublime gameplay."
― True words, lol
― More than 30 kills plus Korean beef? Permanent highlight-worthy, for real
― For someone who does legends like that daily...
Viewers chimed in agreement.
But for Lee Gyeongbok, it was just another day.
"I just have to ask—why! Why play such an all-out-war 'warlord' meta style? Any special reason?"
"Oh, well..."
Lee Gyeongbok gave an awkward smile and scratched his head.
"It's nothing big, just that if I kill enemies quickly, the game ends faster, and that way I can play more rounds."
― Is this how a god thinks...?
― Haha, I mean, he's not wrong
― Now I know why I can't get enough battles in, lol
― Found the optimal way to end battle royales quickly!
― So everyone else died just as fast too, lol
― It was VIP treatment... VIP (by force)
Genome nodded, checking the chat responses.
"Still the same! Even after all this time, you fully live up to the name Purple. And next, I can't not ask—so you had a subscriber event, oTP, the day after?"
"Oh, yes. After Genome's stream, I wanted to try it myself. I thought I should learn from how well you communicate with viewers."
–Communication?
–Isn't that a typo for 'pain'? lol
–Haha, k and s keys are close after all
–???: I'll give you the perfect death
–And after all the slaughter!
–This is [PER][FECT] type communication lol
–But if everyone enjoys dying, I guess it is communication, lol
Viewers immediately turned on Lee Gyeongbok.
"I just do what people ask; isn't that communication?"
With that, the chat filled with laughter and Genome, impressed, continued the interview.
"The event results were incredible. Overwhelming victory against 99 people! And legendary moments, too? Even GGG commented on it!"
"Yes, they did."
"But what really surprised me is that new streamers almost never hold events in their first month."
"Oh, is that not normal among other streamers?"
Genome started to answer, then gave a wry smile.
"No, listen, everyone. This is what's scary about geniuses—they don't realize. For them, stuff like this just comes naturally."
Chat filled up with laughter and agreement. Lee Gyeongbok, for his part, couldn't understand the reaction at all.
"Honestly, most streamers don't do events within their first month unless they're exceptional, overflowing with talent—like Purple."
― Purple, please stop!
― For real, so many streamers quit early on
― Godple can't quit even if he wants to
― Yeah lol, we won't let you!
― Haha, just do it until I die
― Might as well look for the elixir of immortality
― What are you, qin Shi Huang? lol
"You know what I mean, right? I mean, it got so bad, I nearly quit every day during my own first month."
― He's sneakily humble-bragging again, isn't he?
― If that's unfair, just quit now lol
― For real, you can't escape now!
― For the old and sick, there's only streaming left!
Lee Gyeongbok chuckled at the chat. Even while grumbling, viewers still truly wanted more broadcast.
"All right, enough sad talk! Ah, one last question. So far, you've only played the 'Leangel' map, is there a reason?"
GunnerGround didn't have just one map. There were several, differing in size, terrain, even climate.
"Oh, honestly I didn't expect to get booked for a collab so soon. Planned to master at least one map first."
"Ah... this could be an issue. In ranked games, maps change at random."
Genome looked slightly concerned, then smiled brightly.
"But don't worry! Who am I? When it comes to GunnerGround maps, I know them all like the back of my hand! Leave today's collab navigation to me!"
― Hyung? What about fights? Gonna dump all the combat on Godple?
-lol, declaring yourself just a carry/bus passenger now
― So you were only planning to be the navigator, huh!
― Navi, what's in your room? There are speed bumps 'in front' lol
–Who brings ancient jokes like that!
–Mods, can we ban the Neanderthal please, lol
Genome didn't even blink at their jokes.
"C'mon, guys. Didn't I say last time, the whole reason for this was to get a ride? And you think Purple will actually leave anything for me? He'll just kill any enemy immediately, right Purple?"
"If I see an enemy, I have to kill them."
Lee Gyeongbok answered simply.
With that, the chat was spammed with 'agreed'.
"All right, shall we start the game?"
"Okay, bus departing now."
Both laughed and launched the game. The setting shifted from the studio to the GunnerGround lobby.
"So then..."
Genome briefly paused and glanced around quickly. Soon his face stiffened slightly, and he nodded.
"Purple, excuse me for a moment."
"Ah, sure."
What was going on?
Both Lee Gyeongbok and the chat window filled with question marks.
"Guys, I've just gotten a . You'll see what I mean. Manager?"
['GenomeManager' has sponsored a video with 5,000 won.]
With that, a sponsored video began. It was a screenshot from an open group chat.
[〉If you beat Purple this collab, genome's social life will be over lol]
[〉Always talkin' about being a genius, so damn annoying lol]
[〉Funniest part is that idiot doesn't even deny it, probably really thinks he's a genius]
[〉If you crush them properly this time, no one will collab with Genome]
[〉Gotta teach him a lesson, lol]
[〉Just thinking about it is hilarious]
[〉And they're both unranked, so stream snipe is super easy]
[〉I'll watch the stream and provide location updates]
It was full of clear malice.
― What's with these losers this time!
-〈Message deleted by moderation bot〉
― Are they seriously stream sniping for Godple's collab?
― Are they for real, lol
― Why live like that?
― Their greatest life achievement is being stream snipers, lol
― Bet there are some snipers among us right now
― If you can't fight without cheating, you're just pathetic, lol
Viewers immediately reacted.
Genome looked at Lee Gyeongbok with a bitter expression.
"Haaa, sorry about this. Looks like those snipers followed me."
"No, genome, you don't need to apologize."
Lee Gyeongbok replied calmly.
He truly wasn't bothered. Thanks to already experiencing stream snipers through the subscriber event, he was used to it.
'Glad I practiced in advance.'
Without that experience, he might have been shaken in front of the 10,000 or so viewers currently watching.
'It's even worse than I thought.'
What surprised him wasn't the sniping directed at himself, but just how vicious Genome's stream snipers were.
"Should we keep going? Really, if it's too much, we can end the stream."
― Come on;;; we've waited so long for this collab!
― Don't go!
― Stream snipers, fuck off!
― But putting up with such malicious snipers on stream is a bit much...
― What's with these idiots ruining things
Viewer anger flared up further at Genome's words. Lee Gyeongbok smiled at the situation.
"It's actually better this way."
"Huh?"
His answer flooded the chat with question marks.
"It's easier to deal with them if they come to us, right?"
-lololololol
― Classic Purple confidence
― Stream snipers or not, if they're seen, they're dead!
― This attitude! Electrifying! Always fresh!
-???: If you kill the enemy quickly, the game ends quickly.
― This is exactly why we watch Godple!
The atmosphere flipped instantly. The earlier fury at snipers turned into wild anticipation.
"Yeah! That's it! The reason the Tower of Babel fell! The fate of arrogant men who try to reach a god has already been proven!"
Genome caught the vibe and quickly filled the audio.
― Babel reference lol
― This guy's all about 'mouth-physical' now lol
― Wipe them all out!
― The snipers must be panicking now, it's nothing like they expected
"All right! Ah, but before we get started—I've got something else prepared for the collab with Purple."
Genome tapped quickly.
['GENOME' has sent a gift.]
A message popped up in front of Lee Gyeongbok.
'Ah, so it's this.'
He had already heard about it in advance, so it wasn't a surprise. He checked the gift right away.
[Received costume: 'Black Suit.']
[Received costume: 'Smiling Mask.']
The gift was a costume. Lee Gyeongbok immediately accepted and equipped them.
His default outfit vanished, replaced with a crisp suit and a mask in his hand.
-lol, even got the outfit prepped
― That suit fit, omg!
― Of course it's [perfect], look at that fit!
― That body in a suit is overpowered!
― It must be too small. It has to be...!
― Are you crazy, lol, what's small
― Note: God wears a suit.
― What, is this 'the demon wears Lepadard'? lol
― So this is the Black Company's suit...!
Genome smiled in satisfaction at the responses. By now, he too was holding a suit and crying mask.
"What are we today? Purple and Genome—Pur-Ge, purge collaboration! So I prepared a perfect costume."
"Oh, I like that movie too, actually."
There used to be a film called "Purge Day," with the unique premise of a single day when all crimes were permitted.
Only now did viewers piece together Genome's idea.
― Oh lol, so it's a Purge Day concept
― Brilliant!
― Wow, that fits perfectly
― He actually runs a good show
― Great chance to give snipers a taste of lesson
― GTube highlight material, incredible
"That's right! Today is the day of Purple and Genome—Purge! Purge Day!"
"All right, purge Carry/Bus departing!"
Lee Gyeongbok joined in enthusiastically. Forming a duo and starting the game, a purple IFF badge materialized on their shoulders.
Their vision shifted and the two found themselves, as before, seated in the airplane.
'Wow, this is intense.'
An ominous sixth sense prickled at Lee Gyeongbok.
Being ranked matches, it was expected that other players would come with extra animosity, but some were especially unusual.
'Are these the stream snipers?'
Meanwhile, genome pulled up the map.
"Oh, it's Koonas here?"
Koonas was a map set on a tropical island.
― Koonas? That's actually good.
-lol, purge team on Koonas?
― This is bonkers, lol
― It's a guaranteed legend game
― Wow, game over already
Viewers were thrilled. Lee Gyeongbok wasn't sure why at first.
"Purple, this map is about half the size of Leangel."
"Oh, you're right."
Genome explained, and Lee Gyeongbok checked the map, nodding.
"So you run into other players a lot more, and it's all about combat."
"I see."
Thanks to Genome's explanation, Lee Gyeongbok now understood the viewers' excitement.
He smiled, turning to Genome.
"Genome, how long will Part 1 of today's broadcast run? Any other prepared content?"
"Huh? Why do you ask...?"
Genome looked puzzled. Lee Gyeongbok's smile deepened.
"I feel like this game will end too quickly."
― That line!
― That's an utterly believable line!
― Speedrun meta what's this!
― Purple confidence ON! God mode ON!
― Warlord arena for the warlord!
― What's this warlord among warlords, lol
― Purge Day! Purge Day! Purge Day!
― Yahoo! It's a purge party!
― The viewers have lost it, lol
That line sent the chat window into explosive overdrive.
