Step (2)

A late morning.

Lee Gyeongbok had just finished his workout and a meal, as usual.

'It tastes better than I thought?'

He smiled at the empty salad plate.

The Cheoeumjedang representatives hadn't been exaggerating. The samples they'd sent were enough for all the staff and then some.

As he was cleaning up, he heard the vibrating sound of his phone.

[〉All figures delivered]

[〉A review has just gone up]

He checked and saw it was a message from Park Juho. Kindly, a link was attached beneath.

"Oh."

With a small exclamation, Lee Gyeongbok checked the review posted on the fanpage.

[Gemarucon figure arrived!]

[Wow lol I'm honestly speechless]

[Did they include a hand-signed autograph!?]

It seemed many had received their packages, as verification posts were popping up everywhere.

Grinning, Lee Gyeongbok opened the post with the most comments.

[Yesterday, I enjoyed the channel, then watched the rest on Purple channel, gave my likes and left a comment, and went to bed late as a typical me.

I was planning on napping till late, but then what's this?

A knock at the door in the morning—inside I cursed, 'Ahh damn!' but calm on the outside, I rubbed my eyes and got up.

No one was there, just a lone box.

For an instant I wondered, 'What's this, did I order something else during a fit of impulse buying?' as I started reflecting...

But the 'Team Perfect' label on the box hit my optic nerves and any sleepiness disappeared—lol I ran out in my underwear.

No time to hesitate! I yelled and immediately unboxed it.

Had to post about it first lol, but you know why I'm writing up this post?

Man lol, godple's touching generosity is on another level, huh?

What's this, a surprise hand-signed autograph bundled with the figure?

I immediately posed up for a 'be quiet!' meme and did my 'Perfect-certification'.

(photo)

Whoo! See this detail here?

The laser engraving matches the handwritten message perfectly lol.

Honestly, they could've just printed it with a font, but did it by hand!

Why's this so generous!?

???: What's even left after going this far?

Godple: What's left is you, everyone.

This OTP participation has now become the second best thing I've done in my life.

Tier 1? Lol, that's obviously watching Godple's channel.

No regrets in my life as a Trooper!]

The tension in the post made Lee Gyeongbok involuntarily laugh.

His eyes moved to the comments below.

[-Wow, why's this post so loud lol]

[-Are you a beagle?]

[-So calm outside, tough inside lolol]

[-If you take all the jokes, what are we supposed to do!?]

[-But honestly, if I got a limited edition merch, I'd be this hyped too lol]

[-Wait, this is limited edition?]

[-Oh right lol the hand-engraving must be limited]

[-If they sell this merch, it'd be easily thousands, how do they hand-sign every one lol]

[-At least they can do signature engraving?]

[-So when's it going on sale?!]

[-Yeah lol just sell it already!]

[-Seriously, now I want it even more lol]

[-Feels like a morning power-up every day lol]

Seeing the dozens of comments, Lee Gyeongbok's smile grew deeper.

'Feels like the hard work paid off.'

Watching the fans' happiness made him feel it wasn't all in vain.

[〉Everything ready?]

[〉I'll arrive in 5 minutes.]

Park Juho's message came, and Lee Gyeongbok quickly replied, remembering their plan.

[〉Yeah, I'll be down in a sec]

He immediately changed and headed down. Park Juho's car had already arrived.

As he got in, he greeted him.

"Thanks for coming out early."

"What do you mean, it's the manager's job."

Park Juho gave a small laugh and fiddled with the navigation. Their destination was the 3D printer company that had made the figures.

"There wasn't any urgent business discussed last night, was there?"

"No, nothing special."

Today, instead of a Team Perfect meeting, there was a meeting with the production company. As he stepped on the gas, Park Juho continued.

"There's really no need for you to go yourself."

"Come on, I should see it at least once. We need to be on the same page with the company before we meet with ShopFandom."

After the previous consultation with Genome, he'd learned about the shopping platform '#Fandom.' Before launching there, it was necessary to sort out merch production details with the company.

"Besides, I'm the CEO. It wouldn't do to know nothing."

"That's also true."

"And if we keep selling merch, we'll have to maintain a good relationship. Better to show my face."

Lee Gyeongbok ended his thoughts with a light smile.

"No matter how good the technology is, it's people who make things happen in the end."

When it came to judging people, he trusted himself.

* * *

Because they'd arranged it in advance, the two were able to meet the CEO immediately.

"We may look small, but your impression will change once you see things for yourself."

With a hearty laugh and a voice full of pride, he introduced them to the process.

'A convivial person.'

His divine energy-enhanced sense picked up nothing off-putting. So Gyeongbok felt perfectly comfortable listening.

"This is the manufacturing sector. All these are 3D printers."

"Not many people here."

"Most of the work is handled by the 3D printers. As you'll see, just input a design, and it prints it out."

"Right. The quality was really impressive. Everyone who received them was satisfied."

The CEO, seeming even more pleased at Lee Gyeongbok's answer, laughed.

"That's partly thanks to the precision of our printers, but also because we enforce strict quality control."

"Quality control?"

"Please, this way."

Following the CEO, Lee Gyeongbok's eyes widened.

"There're a lot more staff here, I see?"

"Yes. No matter how precise machines are, they can't perfectly finish the products. So our staff inspect and finish them by hand."

"Ah, that explains the clean details."

"Exactly! I'm glad you noticed!"

After a short tour, the three headed to the drawing room. The real business discussion began now.

"I heard you're considering mass production."

The CEO opened the discussion.

"We're thrilled at the prospect, but there's one thing I have to be clear about."

He spoke with a smile but a firm tone.

"No matter how much money you offer, you can't contract every production line."

"Excuse me?"

Lee Gyeongbok was surprised. For mass production, he'd thought they'd need as many lines operating as possible.

"Our business, my staff and I—we owe everything to our regular customers. Though it's not by contract, if we dedicate all our machines, those regulars couldn't use us when needed."

"Ah..."

A soft exclamation escaped Lee Gyeongbok. He felt a sense of kinship.

'Kind of like thinking about our country's viewers even as the overseas fans grow.'

Meanwhile, Park Juho nodded.

"We understand. Dropping loyal existing clients for a short-term contract would hurt you in the long run."

"You're absolutely right. You have solid business sense; that's reassuring."

Lee Gyeongbok added with a smile.

"We hope to become long-term clients, not just this once."

"I'm truly grateful you understand. Back to the main point, I heard you plan on selling the previously made figures as merch?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Fortunately, we've produced goods for merch before. Are you thinking of selling them continuously?"

Park Juho shook his head.

"No, not ongoing. It's our first sale, so we're approaching it carefully."

"Yes, we plan to do a one-day limited sale and try to clear as much stock as possible."

At Lee Gyeongbok's words, the CEO clapped his hands.

"That's a great plan. If you were considering regular sales, I was going to suggest an alternative."

He rolled his eyes in reminiscence and shook his head.

"I've seen people misjudge sales and get stuck with excess stock. Sometimes it's a real struggle. Occasionally there are refund requests, but since these are custom orders, it's not easy. People end up butting heads over it."

"Yeah, there's no rewinding time."

"Exactly. That's why it's better to plan for a small volume first and just add more production later if needed."

The CEO paused, then asked tactfully:

"As you saw from your last order of 129 units, the quality's no problem. How about a contract for 200 per day, 4 weeks—totaling 4,000 units?"

Gyeongbok and Park Juho exchanged glances.

"Is that the maximum?"

Gyeongbok asked cautiously. The CEO blinked.

"This is your first merch, correct?"

"Yes, first."

"Well, in my experience, even 4,000 is quite a lot. I think you should keep the option open to stop anytime if you're left with surplus in the middle..."

The CEO was careful not to offend.

'When making merch, everyone's full of hope.'

That was why he'd just mentioned previous arguments over inventory—overestimating sales hurt both parties.

"Would 4 weeks be enough for 10,000 units?"

At that, the CEO's jaw nearly dropped.

"Ten—10,000?"

"That's just what we're aiming for in the first batch."

As Park Juho explained, the CEO's eyes wavered. If there's a first batch, surely there's a second...

'That's not just optimistic—that's another level.'

With a less ambitious number, he might've refused, or tried to persuade them otherwise.

But the number coming from this customer trumped past benchmarks.

'Maybe he's more famous than I thought?'

His mind raced, and it didn't take long to reach a conclusion.

"Ah, of course! We can do it! Normally we strictly do a five-day work week but..."

A basic order of 10,000 meant that, worst case, even if some faces turned sour, the company had to do it.

"We'll see who volunteers for weekend shifts, once!"

The CEO replied with resolve.

These clients were more important than expected.

* * *

After a preliminary contract, Lee Gyeongbok and Park Juho left the company.

"So now we just need a meeting with the platform."

"I'll put in an offer to ShopFandom. Once we're confirmed and start production, everything should be good."

First, they had to secure a sales route on '#Fandom.' There was no need to rush into production before that.

While chatting, Park Juho slowed and parked.

"This good?"

"Yeah, thanks."

As Gyeongbok got out, Park Juho stopped him.

"Wear this when you're out."

"A mask?"

"Just in case."

There were few who could recognize Gyeongbok by his lower face alone. But Park Juho never let his guard down—not when there was even a tiny chance.

"Alright. Thanks, man."

"See you on the channel."

"Yeah, drive safe."

Lee Gyeongbok put on the mask and strode downtown. At the meeting spot, a familiar face appeared.

"Per—uh, I mean, welcome!"

His enthusiastic greeter was none other than Eclipse. With a smiling gaze, Lee Gyeongbok shook his hand.

"Just call me by name."

"Ha ha, it's hard—guess I'm not used to it yet. I hope I didn't inconvenience you, calling you out like this."

"Not at all. I happened to have a reason to be out, and I finished my business."

Lee Gyeongbok waved it off, looking around.

"So, what's up? Weren't you about to start Metal Punch?"

"Ah, yes, yes! I got inspired by your Purple channel video yesterday. When I looked up the characters, there's also one with a sword, tsujimoto."

Eclipse answered with a brighter expression, but soon his face darkened.

"But after some practice, I realized the AI was too lacking. That's why, uh, Gyeongbok, I wanted to ask you for a favor..."

"You need a sparring partner? That's not hard."

Gyeongbok couldn't hide his confusion. If you want to practice Metal Punch, there's no need to meet in person.

"Actually, it's not really about Metal Punch itself, but about swordsmanship."

"Swordsmanship?"

"Yes, I usually handle greatswords, so wielding a katana like Tsujimoto feels awkward."

"Honestly, I've never really learned how to use a katana either."

Gyeongbok answered awkwardly, but Eclipse shook his head wide-eyed.

"No, Gyeongbok, you've got the sense for it even without lessons! That's why I'm asking you for offline sparring."

Seeing someone so confident in him, Gyeongbok laughed but remained puzzled.

"Then why here? Wouldn't a swordsmanship club be better?"

He'd actually done sword duels before. But this time, Eclipse had chosen—of all places—an AR arcade.

"Oh, well... They see me as an instructor there, and it's a western swordsmanship club, so grabbing a katana feels awkward."

Eclipse explained, rubbing his neck in embarrassment.

"And they don't have katanas there anyway."

"So, you really didn't have much choice."

Lee Gyeongbok laughed and looked around. From the lay of things, it was clear why Eclipse picked this place.

[REAL Metal Punch]

The AR arcade version of Metal Punch.

He wanted to spar through that.

"It's been ages since I've been in an arcade, but sure, let's give it a try."

"Thank you so much!"

"Really, it's not a big deal."

Gyeongbok laughed as Eclipse thanked him profusely.

Eclipse quickly paid for a two-player round and they entered the AR stage.

"These are the protective suits. Just attach the parts like this."

"Oh, that's interesting."

"The helmet has goggles, so be sure to pull them down."

"Ah, goggles too, huh."

They finished suiting up and grabbed the mock swords, prepared for the Tsujimoto character.

"Feels a bit like a kid's toy, though."

"Once the hologram's applied, it won't be so bad."

They moved to the designated positions.

"Oh? What's this?"

"Is that real Metal Punch?"

"Wow, people are still playing this?"

Some of the arcade-goers looked intrigued. 'Real Metal Punch' was an AR game requiring a lot of physical action, so hardly anyone played it.

And there was another reason people avoided it, more than just the exercise.

"Are those guys drunk at noon?"

"I don't think so?"

"Wow, this game's tough to play sober."

"Are they doing it as a punishment or something?"

"Either way, this'll be hilarious."

Even with the holograms, the movements were faithfully mirrored.

No regular person could move like a game character. No matter how sincerely the players moved, bystanders saw nothing but flailing around.

With a loud mechanical sound, the hologram projected onto their suits. Both appeared as Metal Punch's sword-wielding character, 'Tsujimoto.'

The toy-like swords were overlaid with razor-sharp holographic katana.

At the declaration of the fight, they began to move.

At that moment, the snickers from the onlookers ceased.

"What the?!"

"Crazy...!"

"No way, this is insane."

And in place of laughter, astonished exclamations filled the air.
