MasterDissection (2)
Geno's mind went blank for a mont.
Even his long career in broadcast didn't help this ti, as if sothing was montarily broken.
'What is this? Is this so kind of joke? Or is he serious?'
It was hard to think it was a joke, given that Lee Gyeongbok's expression held no trace of mischief, but it was just as difficult to accept those words as sincere.
'But if he really was, wouldn't he have ntioned it at the preliminary eting?'
However, geno soon realized his assumption was wrong.
In the preliminary eting, they had only decided on a rough outline for the broadcast and set so basic privacy-related restrictions regarding the interview questions.
anwhile, the viewers had similar reactions.
- World number 1, really?
- Nah lol isn't this too much?
- Looks like he's nervous since it's his first joint stream?
- Wait, is there even a world ranking?
- Yeah, if you search there's a website.
- 1st. Lee*** – '00:42:18'
- Is Purple's surna Lee?
It was Lee Gyeongbok who broke the silence.
"Oh, yes. That's right. I'm Lee."
That answer snapped Geno out of his daze.
"Forty seconds!?"
"Yes, now that I see the chat, I rember. Ah, right. I even took a screenshot with my smart link."
Calmly, Lee Gyeongbok activated his smart link. It might be virtual reality, but thanks to prior synchronization, finding the photo taken back then wasn't difficult.
The photo he had prepared to show Choi Byeonghun appeared before both of them.
- LMAO
- Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Why?
- He was insane from the start lol
- Took five tries just to get under a minute
- Wow... his physical level is on another league
- No video?
- For real, I want to see how he did it
Faced with clear evidence, the viewers gasped in admiration. Geno was no different.
The only difference was, he was the one hosting the broadcast.
"Did everyone see that? What did I say? The artisan of artisans! This is the true artisan! I've brought on soone truly incredible!"
With his rapid-fire delivery, he lifted the broadcast's tension back up. The chat window erupted in laughter.
- Self-congratulation at the end?
- But honestly, facts
- Artisan-of-artisans lmaooo
- I'm so hyped!
- Is this really the world #1 in action!?
The viewers couldn't hide their excitent. Geno laughed and clapped.
"All right then! World number one artisan! Let's begin verifying that truly profound physical ability. But before that, I'll demonstrate first. Ah, knowing you're the world's number one, I'm even more nervous."
Feigning an attempt to calm his nerves, he took a deep breath and positioned himself at the starting point. The once-bright sky darkened, and the surroundings turned into a midnight forest.
- Looks darker than before, wow
- Try it yourself, it's no joke
- Can you do it yourself?
- If you go to Geno's fan club, you can get the GeneCamp program, lol
- Lol I miss the GeneCamp challenge
"Here we go!"
With his declaration, geno dashed forward. Unlike before, he was now hyper-focused.
Soon, a log suddenly erged from the darkness. Geno avoided it with a sliding maneuver, maintaining his speed.
- Wow lol look at that reaction!
- Our hyung's still got it
- Hyung! Careful with your joints!
- This guy's serious!
Normally, he might've responded to the chat, keeping things light, but not this ti.
He deftly avoided booby traps hidden among fallen leaves, increasing his speed. The deeper he went, the more the forest seed to close in on him.
This was by design—to make the path narrower, giving less room to avoid traps.
'They should be showing up soon.'
Barely escaping a snare at his ankle, he heightened his caution even further.
At last, with a whoosh, arrows flew at him from ahead. Geno scanned his surroundings quickly.
He took cover behind a tree that barely shielded his body. With a thud, arrows struck the trunk.
- Our hyung is growing!
- Whew, almost beca Geno [gene-corpse] lol
- I always fail here haha
- This section is brutal
- If you stick out at all, you fail, lmao
- For real, makes you start swearing
The viewers celebrated his success. Geno swiftly reached the finish line.
[GOAL!]
[Your record is...]
['01:27:33'!]
[Would you like to register your score?]
[GeneCamp Challenge RANK]
[1. 'GENO' - '01:34:56']
[2. 'GENO' - '01:39:44']
...
The system ssage appeared.
"Yes!"
Geno imdiately raised his arms in celebration.
― Whoaa! New record!
― I have surpassed myself!
― Hey, geno! You are defeated!
― No one beats our Geno!
― Lol hyung really went all out!
― Purple being the world #1 made him go serious, lol
― Haven't seen him try this hard before, have we?
Playful cheers and praise filled the chat window. Lee Gyeongbok clapped and said,
"Wow, this is definitely on another level from the tutorial."
Geno caught his breath and snapped his fingers. Instantly, he teleported next to Lee Gyeongbok—a trick only possible in VR.
"Whew, I barely saved face. So? What do you think? Worth a try?"
Without hesitation, Lee Gyeongbok nodded.
"Yes. Looks fun."
"Fun?"
"The traps in the tutorial, well... they felt a bit sloppy. I guess it just lacked a bit of tension?"
Lee Gyeongbok spoke honestly. They had agreed from the start that a natural broadcast was better than a fabricated persona, even from the eting.
- He was just goofing around and still world #1?
- Wait, is he just always like this?
- WARNING! WARNING! Deception levels at maximum!
- Maybe his breath has more deception than actual O₂ or CO₂
Geno chuckled awkwardly at his boldness, but quickly filled the airwaves like a proper host.
"That's actually a fair point. The tutorial traps are round and look soft, you get a little careless, your body responds slower. So the GeneCamp stages are designed to look like you'd die in a single hit."
Stepping back, he gave Lee Gyeongbok the floor. As Lee stepped up, the forest rumbled.
The stage had been randomly reset.
"Now, the GeneCamp stage that draws out true power! Let's asure the real physical strength of the artisan of artisans, Purple!"
― Will he 'perfect' even this?
― I really doubt anyone beats our hyung, lol
― But still, experience matters
― Still, in pure physicals, he's gotta be top three, right?
― Man, can't wait
Geno confird viewers' anticipation reached its peak and signaled Lee Gyeongbok to start.
With a gentle nod and a steadying breath, Lee Gyeongbok was off in a flash.
Geno began comntating imdiately.
"Oh! What an explosive start! Not a hint of hesitation!"
- His speed, wow!
- As expected from the world's fastest carry/bus knight!
- Faster than Usain Bolt!
- Usain: Hey, why you hitting !?
- Now go to Jongno and celebrate, lol
- What a wild joke
The chat was lively, but Lee Gyeongbok was oblivious.
His heightened senses, together with his sixth sense, gathered every bit of information in the area.
He could clearly envision both the location of hidden traps and what would happen if they were triggered.
"Huh? What's going on? Not a single trap has been triggered!"
Geno's voice was genuinely surprised. He, viewing things from an administrator perspective, could see all the trap locations around Lee Gyeongbok.
"It's as if he already knows where every trap is!"
Geno imdiately displayed this perspective. Seeing is believing.
- ????
- How? What's going on?
- He can see traps, even in this darkness?
- Nope... judging by his footwork, he's for real
While Geno's viewers doubted their eyes, Purple's viewers felt differently.
- Godple is in the zone!
- ???: Trap activation? Not perfect enough.
- Lol THIS is what you call 'perfect'
- Every ti, his physicals are just insane...
- Does he have cat eyes? Seeing everything in the dark lol
It was an unbelievable situation, but since it was Purple, it was sohow believable.
Lee Gyeongbok cleared the trap zone at insane speed. To the untrained eye, it would look like he was simply changing direction mid-sprint.
"This is insane! Absolutely insane! But this section is different! Here co arrows at all different heights and angles!"
Geno launched into excited comntary—the section where he'd stopped to take cover was coming up.
"To dodge these arrows, you need perception, spatial awareness, and perfect reflexes to take cover! Can Purple...?"
Geno suddenly stopped. The sight before him nearly made him forget one of a strear's core duties: filling the audio.
Lee Gyeongbok didn't stop for even a single step—in fact, he sped up.
"What in the world...!?"
The scene that followed was shocking.
"A—A sliding maneuver! But, even from below—! Ah, he just bounced his body and dodged! What kind of inhuman flexibility is this!?"
- Whoa lmaoooo
- Is he really a ninja?
- Ninja confird?
- Did he use to be an acrobat?
- Is his body made of rubber?
- Man, is he a demon fruit user or sothing
Lee Gyeongbok didn't bother hiding behind cover. After seeing the arrows' trajectories, he was sure he could just blow through them.
"But still...! Wow! He twisted to the side! Did you make a deal with those arrows or what!? How can anyone know all this!?"
- Insane lolol
- Ahh, he had to have coordinated with the arrows
- Geno cannot be stopped with his jokes
- Explain how you bribed the arrows!
While others were excited and exhilarated, Lee Gyeongbok calmly crossed the finish line.
[GOAL!]
[Your record is...]
['0:51:47'!]
[Would you like to register your score?]
[GeneCamp Challenge RANK]
[1. 'GENO' - '01:27:33']
[2. 'GENO' - '01:34:56']
Lee Gyeongbok quietly registered his score, promptly updating the rank.
[GeneCamp Challenge RANK]
[1. 'PerfectPlay' - '00:51:47']
[2. 'GENO' - '01:27:33']
With a flash, Lee Gyeongbok was again standing beside Geno.
"Purple, isn't this a bit much?!"
"Yes?"
As soon as Lee Gyeongbok returned, geno pretended to cry.
"If you're a god, shouldn't you show so rcy for us mortals? Who's even going to attempt this after seeing that record?"
- LMAOOOOOO
- When he loses on physicals, he goes for the jokes!
- Our hyung's words are at least top-tier!
- Genetic level wordplay hahaha
- What's with the 'word-physical' lol
- Godple is yeah
- Purpleman! Purpleman! Purpleman! Purpleman!
Though Lee Gyeongbok looked flustered, he quickly smiled brightly.
"A god? Ah, thank you. But that wasn't very hard, to be honest."
"Ugh, I'm about to be suffocated by this level of humble-bragging. But, this is perfect proof! You all see it now, right!?"
Geno snapped his fingers lightly.
The photo Lee Gyeongbok had shown earlier appeared on the screen again.
"If Purple isn't world #1, who would be? If soone else shows up as world #1, I'd be more suspicious of them. Too perfect as proof!"
Geno's conclusion utterly exploded the chat window.
- From now on, Purple is the only 'Strongest Physical Gar!'
- Then let's say Geno is the 'Strongest Chatter', haha
- Yami's solo backdoor was a given anyway, lol
- How do you stop soone like this?
- Trolls, you watching? If you want to play Yami, gotta be at this level!
- Breaking: Blue House declares 'Purple' the only true 'Physical Master.'
Lee Gyeongbok couldn't help but smile at the playful chatter. There was sothing else that delighted him too.
'It's already over 10,000...'
The viewer count, which was in the 8,000s during the opening, now surpassed 10,000.
Even if most of them were Geno's fans rather than his own, they were still enjoying themselves because of him.
'I'll definitely...!'
He renewed his resolve to succeed as a strear. Geno waited for the hype to settle before speaking again.
"All right, but we're not done yet. Shockingly, we've only asured his basic physicals so far! Let's move right to the next stage!"
Geno clapped twice lightly, and the scenery changed.
One side was a sparring arena, the other a shooting range.
"Once you master the basics, you have to apply them, right? This stage is for testing in-ga ability! We'll asure 'lee' and 'ranged' skills!"
- Wait, both at once?
- Isn't there usually only one?
- Since Purple's good at both, this is the most yeah, lol
- Lol, didn't know that
- Wait, both at the sa ti?
As the viewers pointed out, previously it was only one or the other. Usually, invited artisans specialized in only one.
Geno had also suggested picking one during the eting, but Lee Gyeongbok decided to do both.
"Purple, which would you like to do first?"
"Hmm, it doesn't matter. I'll start with whichever's closer."
"All right! Then, let explain the 'lee' ability test first."
Lee Gyeongbok had already heard explanations about these tests. Still, geno explained again for new viewers and Purple's fans.
"A picture's worth a thousand words! The artisan's opponent is this dummy!"
With a flick of his fingers, a humanoid dummy appeared in the arena.
"Looks like nothing on the outside, right? But to defeat it, you have to hit this specific weak point right here."
Geno pointed to a small red dot on the dummy's shoulder.
"The weak point's diater is 7mm! About the thickness of a pencil. It's the record for accuracy in the lee test! And the person who set that record is none other than Geno!"
- Self third-person lol
- Hyung? Embarrassed about yourself?
- Hyung's really going all-in on his word-physical image, lol
- Even that's super impressive though lol
Geno ignored the chat and continued.
"And the number of dummies is the other asure! The most dummies faced at once is 12!"
Twelve dummies, each holding a different weapon, appeared in the arena.
"That record sadly isn't mine. It's held by an Elden series expert strear, 'Eclipse!'
And if even one dummy lands a hit, the test is a failure—so you can imagine the difficulty."
The infamous Elden series—a ga where ordinary mobs are as tough as bosses in other gas.
Geno finished explaining, then turned to Lee Gyeongbok.
"Now, the choice is yours, world's artisan, Purple! Select your preferred weak spot size and the number of dummies to face!"
A settings window popped up before Lee Gyeongbok. He glanced at it briefly before making so changes.
- Why won't he show us!
- Geno is too good at broadcast, that's the problem lol
- Hyung? How could you do this to us?
- Viewers lol can't even wait one mont
- Guarantee viewers' right to know! Guarantee it!
While the chat window exploded with pleas, geno, who peeked at the settings, looked astonished.
"Wait, are you really doing it like this?"
"Ah, is that not allowed?"
"No, no! Everyone, another unprecedented challenge is coming your way!"
With Geno's words, question marks flooded the chat window.
"I don't usually get speechless often, right? If you know, you know. But this... wow..."
Geno shook his head, stepping back.
- Hyung? Really? Really?!
- Lol hyung's perfectly cooking up a viral clip
- I'll hold my breath till you say what it is!
- This is so wild, I'm getting my diaper ready
- Knew this would happen, so I got my chamber pot!
- Tsk, tsk, should've watched from the toilet like .
- Lol, geno's chat is fire
- Honestly, where did tone and manner go!
Frantic viewers poured their feelings into the chat. Geno smiled in disbelief, then snapped his fingers.
[Dummy Settings]
[Weak point diater – 0.5mm]
[Number of targets – 15]
The settings Lee Gyeongbok selected popped up.
- ?????
- Not 5 but 0.5?
- How tiny is a 0.5mm target?
- That's the size of a chanical pencil lead lol
- How is this possible!?
- Hitting that tiny spot, with 15 dummies!?
A flood of question marks.
The viewers realized Geno's reaction wasn't just broadcast exaggeration.
Challenging a record for either side alone was hard enough, but to go for a new record in both at once?
There had never been such a thing in the history of MasterDissection content.
Geno, pleased with this reaction, turned to Lee Gyeongbok.
"Before we start, can you tell us why you chose those settings?"
"Oh, it's nothing special. I want to go for a new record, but the weak point was too big, and it looks neater if the number of dummies ends with five."
Lee Gyeongbok answered nonchalantly.
If not for his performance in the physicals test, people might have assud it was just bluster or so kind of bit.
But after what he'd already shown, everyone could tell he was the real deal.
So Geno and the viewers could only laugh.
"Am I the only one super excited right now?"
- na na, so are we lol
- Is this what 'being purpled' feels like?
- 7mm is sooo ordinary lmao
- Is this... a god's perspective?
- How dare you look with human eyes!
- Actually, not ending on 5 IS annoying.
- No logical counterargunt lol
Geno quickly realized he'd forgotten sothing.
"Ah, I forgot to ask—what weapon will you use?"
"I'll use these."
Lee Gyeongbok grabbed the weapons he'd previously selected. Geno felt as if he'd been struck on the head again.
"... Gauntlets!?"
Despite a full arsenal available, he'd picked sothing barely a weapon at all.
The viewers were shocked again.
- For real;;;
- Even Eclipse barely beat it with sword and shield!
- He only won after rolling on the floor and blocking with a shield, lol
- Gauntlets are basically bare-fisted against them, wow
- I give up trying to understand!
- Ah, how can a mortal grasp the will of god?
- Purple can probably pull it off, though?
- Are we about to see another 'PERFECT' run?
Lee Gyeongbok saw the chat and smiled.
"Then, I'll start right away."
After all, it's easier to show than to explain.
