(3)

Despite being outnumbered two to one and having a lower-class sailing ship, Lee Gyeongbok achieved a complete victory. Camilla's ship, battered on both sides, began to sink slowly. With this, the screen faded to black, and control was lost.

〈What? Is it over already? I'm not even done yet!〉

It wasn't just the viewers who were shocked by the result. Park Juho's voice made the viewers burst out laughing.

– Punisher-nim, honestly flabbergasted lolol

– ???: Thought they were about to start fighting for real?

– Seriously lol, how is anyone supposed to keep up with Godple's speedy gameplay

– Turns out Purple's ship was just a decoy from the start lol

– Using an employee as bait, that's just CEO logic at a Black Company, right?

Gyeongbok chuckled at the messages, then cleared his throat lightly.

"Hrmm, that's how it turned out. Okay, let's focus on the cutscene."

The next thing shown on screen was not the protagonist.

"We're—we're sinking!"

"Grab whatever you can!"

Panicked pirates shouted from all over. In the midst of that chaos, the red-haired female pirate was literally shaking in rage.

– Whoa? Is this Camilla?

– Turns out I like pirates

– Nunim's aura is insane?

– Pirate start, not a bad idea?

– Wait lol, aren't you supposed to NOT pick pirates for Kanu-nim to show up?

– Oh, right lol, who even starts as a pirate, really?

– Lol, calling her Kanu-nim makes her sound like coffee!

With such a large ship, the sinking took some time. Camilla grit her teeth, then shouted at her crew.

"Abandon ship! Everyone, to the boats!"

After raising her voice, she glanced toward the captain's quarters. Her lieutenants, reading her anxious eyes, responded immediately.

"We'll grab the device!"

"Captain! You should escape first!"

Just as they started to climb the tilting deck, camilla barked out.

"You idiots! Do you want to die?!"

"Yes?!"

"If you load the detection device, there won't be enough room in the boat!"

"B-but...!"

"Shut up and follow me!"

Decision made, camilla dashed to the boats with her close aides.

– Oh? Not grabbing the device?

– Surprisingly, she's loyal to her subordinates

– No wonder the rebellion succeeded lol

– This one www, rough with words but cares for the crew www

The scene shifted once more—to the protagonist's ship.

"They're escaping!"

"Prepare to fire—everyone!"

As the pirate boats lowered into the water around the sinking ship, the boatswain raised his voice. But everyone's eyes soon went wide. The pirate boats suddenly cut through the water at an unexpected speed.

"Wh-what the heck is that?!"

"How are they moving?!"

It was far faster than oar-power could achieve. While the crew gawked, the protagonist swiftly lifted his spyglass. Just then, camilla—making her escape—came into view.

"That is...?"

She had attached a blue crystal, an Atlantis crystal, and a small device to the rear of the boat. Suddenly, the boat surged forward like an explosion.

– What's this? Is it a motorboat?

– She used a crystal, so is that an Atlantis device too?

– Guess it's some kind of propulsion unit lol

– Lol, so there was more than just a detection device?

– No wonder she had the guts to come right up to Navy HQ!

An escape method had always been ready. The viewers weren't the only ones to realize this.

"Don't just stand there gaping! Row even faster!"

The boatswain hurried the crew. But the protagonist lowered the spyglass and raised his voice.

"No, we won't pursue!"

"Sir?"

The boatswain and the bewildered crew turned to him.

"The Camilla pirate crew is larger than this. If we chase, we might end up ambushed instead."

He explained his reasoning.

"Besides, they're using strange devices, while we'd have to fight in an exhausted state."

There was no reason to push themselves. Turning his attention away from the chase, the protagonist focused on the cargo scattered on the sea's surface from Camilla's ship.

"And it's not like we came away empty-handed."

Amid the floating cargo, one item stood out—a device emitting a gentle blue glow. It was unmistakably the detection device Camilla had left behind.

"We'll head back now."

– Lol, just as Godple predicted

– It's standard that quest items never disappear

– Woohoo~! Snagged a fresh detection device~☆

– The devs really considered both possible outcomes lol

With the screen fading out and the cutscene ending, the viewers voiced their satisfaction. As Park Juho finished organizing the loot, Gyeongbok clapped his hands lightly.

"Nice, that was a pretty entertaining battle! Now, just as planned, let's head back to Navy HQ!"

Even an event battle couldn't halt his voyage.

* * *

Arriving at his destination, Gyeongbok gaped at the port's scale.

"Wow, it really fits the image of a Navy stronghold."

Unlike previous stops, both the buildings and the sheer number of people were on a different level. There were not only NPCs, but plenty of players as well.

– No wonder there's a 'zoom mode' lolol

– Seriously lol, it's like an amusement park

– But almost everyone's from abroad?

– Lol, is this guy playing on an overseas channel?

Next to each player's name was a national flag. Since it was a global service game, there were channels for countries beyond just Korea. Gyeongbok had deliberately picked a foreign channel to lessen contact with his Korean fans.

"Ah, good eye. As you can see, people from around the world enjoy this game. As you've noticed, there's almost no lag! Even for a global service, you can play really smoothly!"

Following the chat's flow, Gyeongbok naturally slipped into an advertisement. The viewers burst out laughing.

– 5252, it was all part of the plan, huh!

– Lolol, so even avoiding Korean viewers was a setup!

– The quest to keep the broadcast running smoothly, got it?

– Godple is world-class; makes sense the world plays this game

– Well said, Chu, lol

They people-watched briefly.

"Time to advance the story. This time let's meet at Navy HQ."

"Got it. I'll head over when I'm done."

Like before, Gyeongbok and Park Juho divided up tasks. Heading to the shipyard, Gyeongbok waited for a bit.

"Oh, another big haul this time."

He waited so he could calculate profits from trade before making any decisions.

[Received the bounty for subduing the Red Viper pirates!]

[The Purple fleet's reputation has risen!]

After also collecting Camilla's bounty, a smile spread across his lips, and the viewers joined him.

– Instantly unlocked 3 stars!

– The bounty is too good, huh?

– Feels salty in port, as expected—I'm telling you

– Not just any salt, this is seasoned salt lol

– Ins.tant.up.grade

– Hyung! You gotta use the new stuff, right?!

In response to viewers' requests, Gyeongbok nodded.

"Of course, I'll upgrade Turtlerock to 3 stars and swap out the ram with the new one."

– SSR ram is forever lol

– Can't the bachelor get an upgrade? Please!

– Are you nuts, lol

– If you took a 2-star ship and beat a 4-star, can you take a 5-star next, matjji?

– Beat 2:1, so 3:1 next?

– So when is Godple's buffed paid pass coming out?

– Forget battle passes, release a Godple pass! I'll pay!

After buying Turtlerock, Gyeongbok used the remaining funds to upgrade Park Juho's ship.

"He might be sulking after getting no kills earlier, so I'll boost the manager's ship specs a bit."

Gyeongbok joked, and the viewers laughed along.

– Sulk mode ON!

– Lol, seriously, when this hyung is with a real friend, he gets so playful

– Turns out he's great at teasing

– This is real-friend mode!

– Bring the editor along sometime!

– No! I need Purple channel right now!

– Black Company viewers are scary

After finishing the upgrades, Gyeongbok strolled lightly away. Now he just had to regroup at Navy HQ.

'... Hm?'

While weaving through the crowd, Gyeongbok sensed something unusual and glanced around. Among the many NPCs, one gave off an especially strong presence.

'An important NPC?'

At the end of his gaze was a Middle Eastern-looking woman, moving precariously through the crowd. Coincidentally, her path intersected with Gyeongbok's.

"Ah...!"

As she staggered, bumped by someone, she began to fall, but Gyeongbok quickly caught her.

-???

― What's going on?

― Is that a player?

― No no, if there's physical interaction, it has to be an NPC!

Some viewers were curious about Gyeongbok's reaction, but others saw something different.

– Oh? Caught her before she fell?

– Insanely fast reaction speed lol

– If you do this, then... lol

– Careful with spoilers, lol

There was a sense that some knew more, but among the flood of chat, their comments were quickly buried. Meanwhile, the rescued NPC sighed in relief and expressed her gratitude.

"Ah, thank you so much. I would have been badly hurt if not for you."

She laughed awkwardly, then seemed to remember something, her eyes widening.

"Oh, excuse me. I'm Serazade. I came here on business, but it's my first time at Navy HQ, and I was lost. May I ask your name, kind savior?"

Gyeongbok rolled his eyes, thinking. From her way of speaking, she was clearly different from a shipyard or trading post owner NPC. No ordinary NPC would have a name.

"I'm Purple."

"So you're Purple. I won't forget this favor. Well then..."

With a gentle smile, serazade melted back into the crowd.

* * *

Park Juho had already arrived at the HQ. When Gyeongbok told him about meeting Serazade, Park Juho nodded.

"If that's the case, she must be an important NPC."

"I think so, too. Alright, back to the story."

The two approached the building. The screen flickered and instantly switched to a cutscene. The protagonist argued with the gatekeeper.

"I'm sorry, but you can't meet Captain Alfonso without an appointment. And unless you state your business, I can't pass the message on."

"It's something I need to say to the captain directly..."

Both wore frustrated expressions, the context clear to all.

– The mission's top secret, so it'd be hard to explain

– Oh, right, can't talk about Atlantis

– Honestly, I get the gatekeeper's side, lol

– Seriously lol, not even a regular officer but a total newbie

– Just graduated from the Academy, wants to see the captain—who would believe that?

– ???: If you believed that, demotion kick!

The viewers could understand both sides.

"If that's how it is, I'm out of options."

"Fine. At least let me leave my name with the captain—"

Just as the protagonist was about to relent, someone abruptly interjected.

"Oh my, Purple? Sorry, I'm late!"

Both people turned at the sound; the figure on screen was Serazade.

"That's the NPC from earlier?"

– That nunim from before?

– I KNEW something was up!

– Honestly, way too detailed for a normal NPC

– Seriously lol, turns out she's a story character!

As Gyeongbok and the viewers recognized her, serazade winked lightly at the protagonist.

"I'm Serazade, here by appointment with Captain Alfonso to discuss supplies. This is Purple, who's accompanying me at my special request."

"Oh, serazade! Understood! Sorry for the trouble!"

The guard immediately stepped aside, bowing in apology to the protagonist. As the protagonist blinked, serazade offered her hand.

"Shall we go in?"

"... Alright."

After considering briefly, the protagonist followed her inside. With this chain of events, Gyeongbok felt sure of the mysterious aura he sensed from Serazade.

"So that meeting earlier was scripted for this event."

– That's right lol

– Guess it's not a spoiler now!?

– Other players can't see Serazade during this lol

– Saw Godple catch her right away and freaked out lol

– Normally, you only help her after she's already fallen, but he caught her before lol

– Some players ignore it, then the cutscene just resets after a few days

The knowledgeable viewers explained, but they were surprised by something else, too.

– Haven't seen Serazade wink in ages lol

– Huh? Is that not normal?

– Normally you only see that with a guide open in advance lol

– This hyung's field of view and reaction speed are insane

– I figured Godple just maxed out her affection from minute one lol

– If a Trooper does it, it's not a wink, it's a grimace, right?

– ???: Should I help, or not? (dizzy)

– Instead of a wink, she just closes both eyes tight!

Though the chat was lighthearted, the protagonist in the cutscene was serious. Glancing around to make sure no one was nearby, he asked her,

"Why did you help me?"

"Hmm, let's just call it repaying a kindness, shall we?"

Serazade replied lightly, but the protagonist's expression remained sharp.

"A bit much for repaying a small favor."

"Is that so?"

"You said you're going to see the captain. Even if you received my help, to take a total stranger to such an important meeting isn't normal."

Serazade's expression twitched. Then, after scrutinizing the protagonist, she nodded.

"Agile in body and mind. You're exactly right, Purple."

"You admit it easily."

"I'm not lying. I do want your help."

She suddenly stopped and faced him.

"There are two reasons a young sailor would show up at HQ demanding to see the captain."

Counting on her fingers, she smiled.

"They're either crazy, or they really do know Captain Alfonso."

"... Looks like I'm the latter."

"That's right. I've never heard of a madman who helps others. It made sense to help you, then."

"But you had no guarantee I'd be of any help."

Serazade just shrugged.

"Even if you're not helpful now, your goodwill might come in handy later. It's an investment—a merchant always takes the big picture."

"I might not take kindly to such calculated motives."

"If I'd hidden them, you'd only distrust me more, right?"

Her confident answer made the protagonist chuckle wryly. Serazade smiled and brushed her hair back.

"Seeking gain is a merchant's virtue, so don't judge too harshly. Anyway, excuse me."

She walked a few steps ahead, then turned back.

"Ah, but I really am thankful for earlier."

As the scene changed, both Gyeongbok and the viewers guessed her real role.

"Feels like she'll be a rival, like Camilla."

– Emphasizing her merchant side, the answer is obvious lol

– Seriously lol, and coming right after Camilla makes it clear

– She's super likable lol

– Seranunim is totally endearing

– Rivals start with big plots in this game

– True lol, kanu-nim leads a pirate crew, seranunim has direct deals with the captain

– But Godple is still Godple, right?

– One quick balance adjustment, lol

Eventually, the setting changed again. In an office, alfonso greeted the protagonist with a bittersweet smile.

"Sorry for not being able to spare much time."

"No, sir. I feel bad for showing up out of the blue."

Alfonso nodded and grew serious.

"I'm glad you made it back safely from Crimson Coast, but wanting to meet makes me think you have even bigger news."

"And I'll report briefly, since you're busy."

As the screen flickered, the expression on Alfonso's face shifted. The protagonist handed over Horatio's records found in the cave.

"These are the traces I found of my father."

"My word, horatio...! So your father could still be alive!"

Alfonso was overjoyed, but the protagonist's expression darkened.

"Well, I searched the entire cave. There was no way out. There was a passage filled with seawater, but whether it leads outside..."

Alfonso pressed his lips together. The viewers echoed his sentiment.

― Ahh...

― No! Godfather is alive! Say he's alive!

― LOL, just a setup to make their reunion more dramatic, right?!

― This is such a cliché lol, but please, keep it cliché!

Alfonso gently patted the protagonist's shoulder in encouragement.

"If you still have hope, hold onto it. Even finding these records was an unexpected result, wasn't it?"

"Yes, thank you."

The protagonist took a deep breath and straightened his stance.

"The device from the cave is still stored on the ship. Since you said it's top secret, I thought it best to get your permission before moving it anywhere."

"That was an excellent decision."

"And on the way here, we encountered and fought the Red Viper—Camilla's pirates..."

At this, alfonso's expression changed again.

"Camilla had an Atlantis detection device?"

"Yes. I judged it more important to secure the device than chase her."

"My word...!"

Alfonso's shocked reaction had the chat laughing.

– Lol, usually you'd just say 'the detection device was there'

– Seriously lol, it'd normally lead into a Camilla pursuit quest

– Godple takes the shortcut route!

– Was there even a shortcut?

– Yeah, usually only veteran players or heavy payers can take that route

– How is this even free-to-play?

– Unbelievable stream: Is this a bug? / Godple stream: They made the game really well

– Told you, you really can be perfectly free-to-play!

A new round of laughter came as Alfonso's voice rose even more excited.

"You have no idea what you've done! Thanks to you, we can find Atlantis ruins much more easily now!"

"Ruins... you say?"

"Yes! Purple, you deserve to know more! No doubt about it!"

Alfonso lowered his voice as if afraid of being overheard.

"The reason we search for Atlantis civilization is their technology. As you know, that level of technology is so advanced, we can't even understand the principles."

"Indeed, that's true."

"Yes, and we need that technology! If we fail to recover lost technology..."

Alfonso grabbed the protagonist's shoulder. Through synchronization, Gyeongbok could feel Alfonso's powerful grip.

The close-up filling the screen now was not merely a navy commander—

"Mankind... will go extinct!"

—but the face of an old man trembling in fear.
