Chapter 263: Original Content
No matter how you look at it, sothing's definitely up
-Oh? Is that so?
-It did have a bit of a feeling like they were testing things out ahead of ti
ㄴFor real lol, it felt like they were checking if this was okay
ㄴFree testing, what a sweet deal lol
-They even stamped official support text on it, it's undeniable
-"Reverse City is receiving official support from Planet Earth."
-They gave you the city map, they gave you the event, they basically did everything lol
ㄴKing god Planet Earth
The claim that the Steel Legion that appeared in 'Reverse City' might be a kind of plot hook, or a pre-release trial, originated from exactly that background.
As ntioned earlier, 'Reverse City' is currently the one and only developer-officially-supported private server, and an enemy from within 'Reverse Planet'—even if only a paper plan—had appeared in it. It was only natural that people would think so.
On top of that, Jeong Nayeon revealed that the [Steel Legion Invasion] event was nothing more than a random event Planet Earth had embedded in the city map, which added weight to the claim.
With the stage set like that, it was a natural result that speculation posts flooded in—saying the Steel Legion would be appearing in 'Reverse Planet' too, or that it would beco an even more developed faction there.
✪ Stop hyping up Reverse City so much
I've been watching you all and the brain-dead takes are out of control
What? They were testing it out in a private server before putting it in RePla?
Knock it off!! What kind of developer runs tests in a private server!!
Just recycled it because it was a waste to throw away
All you want is to hype things up, so you're spouting nonsense
-The brain-dead party crowd is so unbearable, for real
-We know it's impressive even without the hype lol
-That's basically saying Planet Earth updates to match Hackphysical's story lol
ㄴBut that's actually true though?
ㄴYeah~ they updated the pet system and even the raid boss~
ㄴStraight up exposed lol
-It's probably just asset recycling
-Brain-dead, ugh!!
ㄴAka
ㄴMurasaki
Of course, not everyone agreed with the claim that the Steel Legion appearing in 'Reverse City' was a plot hook for 'Reverse Planet.'
The rebuttal post saying they were making a fuss over sothing that was simply reused as a one-ti trial because it was too good to throw away also received a lot of agreent.
In fact, the Steel Legion was indeed content from 'Reverse Planet,' but it was nothing more than a scrapped project even within the research facility that was always up to all kinds of nonsense.
People on the rebuttal side brought up that fact, loudly calling for people to stop hyping up 'Reverse City'—and by extension, Hackphysical.

The Etinel degraded mass-production plan project, 'Steel Legion.'
It took little ti for content that only a very small minority of people—those who loved 'Reverse Planet's' story—had known about to spread through the community.
It was, after all, ho-ga (?) related information that had co out from the one and only developer-officially-supported private server. You couldn't help but pay attention.
All the more so since rumors about the next season—or the next expansion pack—had started quietly making the rounds.
✪ Brain Speculation) The Steel Legion feels like a plot hook
The mont I heard the na I had a feeling I recognized it
It was a na I'd seen in RePla all right
The stuff Hackphysical and Star Rain revealed was also all stuff I'd seen while playing RePla
And they go out of their way to use it in Reverse City?
On top of that, Jeong Nayeon revealed that the [Steel Legion Invasion] event was nothing more than a random event Planet Earth had embedded in the city map, which added weight to the claim.

However, the flas of the Steel Legion plot hook debate did not burn for long before dying down. That was because there were more than enough topics more fun than exhausting back-and-forth of who's right and who's wrong.
The story and synergy the 'Reverse City' city alliance had shown during this event was overwhelming in sheer numbers first of all. With hundreds of participants, it couldn't have been otherwise.
That ant a lot of video clips were circulating, and with everyone busy watching and laughing over them, it was natural for the Steel Legion plot hook debate to quiet down. And it was also a debate where a conclusion was hard to reach to begin with.
✪ Rutty-Nyang and Ar-ong temporary alliance scene

(Photo of a green tree python and an Australian green tree frog that looks like they're about to join forces)
"It can't be helped. A temporary alliance, just this once."
"Move to match my attacks!" "Excuse ? You're the one who should match !"
"—Opening—"
""Interference!""
"···This might be··· a rather dangerous combination that just ca into being?"
-For real lol, I was thinking the sa thing
-After all, two longti rivals joining forces to defeat the enemy is a ti-honored cliché
-'A rather dangerous combination' as if lol
ㄴBut it actually is a dangerous combo;
ㄴIt's the top villain crew and the top Hero Association team joining hands
ㄴ? Says who they're the top crew
ㄴWhat nonsense about top team
-Hero and Villain forming a temporary alliance in the face of a city crisis. This is delicious
-Rutty-Nyang has blown up thanks to Reverse City
ㄴGot the best trickle-down effect
ㄴShe's a Villain Alliance executive candidate, after all
In particular, the developnt of heroes, villains, and the neutral faction—who were always clashing—all joining forces against the powerful external enemy of the Steel Legion was a part that received unanimous praise from everyone.
The cliché of 'It can't be helped. A temporary alliance, just this once'—even getting its own wiki entry—showed that clichés don't beco clichés for nothing, or befitting a cliché that had been handed down through the ages, it brought joy to many people.
While Rutty-Nyang and Ar-ong served as its representatives, it wasn't just them—scenes of others also cooperating according to the cliché were clipped into videos and circulated widely.
✪ FYI: The villains could have NOT been late
Kang Soyul: I clearly said I could transport everyone with my supernatural ability once the personnel deploynt was finished?
Hackphysical: So then, those people···.
Kang Soyul: Forgot about it and ran off on their own.
The villains were just blockheads so they didn't take the teleport
The fact that the event almost blew up because of that is legendary
-What the lol
-They were just complaining that the schedule was too tight, and now this lol
-Hackphysical's dumbfounded expression is so funny lol
ㄴ'What on earth are these people?'
-Good grief, idiots
-The villain level lol
In the midst of all that, it was also revealed that the Villain Alliance's tardiness—which could have been the cause of defeat at the Steel Legion's hands—was the result of a mistake by the villain broadcasters themselves.
The villain broadcasters who had been making excuses about the schedule being too tight quickly made themselves scarce, and for a while, viewers watching the villain broadcasts were mocked by viewers watching the hero and neutral faction broadcasts.
Afterward, the expression Baek Woohyun had made in passing while talking to Kang Soyul beca tied to all of this and turned into a of him looking at the villain broadcasters in exasperation—to the point where all sorts of results were being generated.
✪ Breaking News: Hackphysical set to appear in DH Empire iTube content
It was after the 'Reverse City' event issues had swept through once like this that new news related to Hackphysical—Baek Woohyun—reached the community. More precisely, around the ti Baek Woohyun's expression had beco a .
As if to fully capitalize on the effect before Baek Woohyun drifted away from the center of attention, the DH Empire channel quickly announced the launch of new original content alongside Baek Woohyun being revealed as its first guest.
The content that had been building from the connection between Battler Kim Hyeonjun and Nikki Lee Yeonwoo had finally co out into the world.
✪ Breaking News: Hackphysical set to appear in DH Empire iTube content
Video link here
-Sothing big is coming
-So this is what he was talking about on his personal broadcast
-Has the path to Hackphysical going pro opened up?!
ㄴDay 2,471 of praying for his pro debut
ㄴBeen praying since before the clarification broadcast tooㅋㅋ
-So what kind of content is it?
ㄴDunno?
-A teaser that only reveals the cast, for real?
ㄴFor real, a teaser should show what's going to happen
ㄴI'll hold off on the unflattering remark about only using na value to attract attention
Of course, people had high expectations for the news.
Baek Woohyun—practically a guaranteed box office for anything 'Reverse Planet' related—was appearing in original content from DH Empire, currently the top pro team.
And on top of that, the other cast mbers were none other than two of DH Empire's ace players, who were widely recognized as genuine world-class players!
***
"······."
Baek Woohyun, who had moved to DH Empire's studio to film the DH Empire iTube original content he had been invited to, quietly looked around.
Even though he had arrived sowhat earlier than the scheduled ti, staff were already coming and going inside the studio, preparing for the content shoot.
The other two cast mbers, Battler Kim Hyeonjun and Nikki Lee Yeonwoo, were also sitting in chairs set up in advance, reading the guideline script.
As an aside, that guideline script had been sent to Baek Woohyun as well, and reading it, he had realized that the professional side was indeed different.
The content was incomparably more detailed than the cue script he had received when he had appeared on Kang Soyul's broadcast for the hack clarification.
aning it was densely packed with directions for how he should act according to the flow of the content, along with matching lines.
'At the end it did say there was no need to follow it exactly, but.'
Baek Woohyun had no particular intention of refusing the script. Fumbling about not knowing what to do was worse than just going along with the script.
You could tell as much from the clarification broadcast he had done with Kang Soyul before. At the ti, he had faithfully followed the script she had handed him.
So this ti too, he intended to approach it with roughly the sa attitude as then. As long as the other two cast mbers didn't bring up sothing off-script.
'Still, there are a lot of people here.'
Staff had existed for the 'Nuclear Tourism' content shoots as well. Not panelists like Jeong Nayeon, Cha Seongcheol, and Chloe, but staff working invisibly behind the scenes to support the filming.
After all, proper content production required staff to take on various roles—from broadcast setup to chat managent and cara operation.
But perhaps because this was new original content for an iTube channel run by a pro team, the number of staff here seed to be nearly 1.5 tis more.
"Oh, you're here!"
As it would have been awkward for Baek Woohyun to just stand there blankly, he headed toward where the two cast mbers were, and Lee Yeonwoo, noticing his approach, reacted.
Setting down the guideline script he had been reading, he woke up Kim Hyeonjun beside him, then strode over to Baek Woohyun and greeted him warmly.
It was an attitude that showed the familiarity—just a handful of words exchanged, but still!—they had built up from eting once at the consecutive win record-breaking.
"Yes. Hello. Nice to et you."
Shaking hands and greeting Lee Yeonwoo, Baek Woohyun's gaze turned toward Kim Hyeonjun.
The man who had been called Korea's strongest before Baek Woohyun ca onto the scene was looking at him with gleaming eyes. An air that was almost as if he might devour him.
With his face burning with competitive spirit, Baek Woohyun wore a faint smile. He didn't dislike people overflowing with fighting spirit.
"I look forward to working with you today."
"Yes, likewise."
The strength conveyed from across the clasped hands made it clearly apparent what Kim Hyeonjun was thinking.
And with that, Baek Woohyun's smile deepened.
