Link (7)

Lee Gyeongbok decided to play on a channel with fewer people to ensure a smooth broadcast. The place he chose was the "Europe" channel, and even among those, it was in the so-called "fringes," a channel so empty it earned the nickname. However, even a channel with few people had its uses. Namely, some specific guilds used it as their stronghold. One such guild that had established its base on that channel was the Pirate Alliance, "Guilty Pleasure."

"A world boss has appeared?"

The alliance leader was bewildered by the unexpected appearance of the Kraken.

〈It's real? What's going on here?〉

〈It's not even the week for its appearance, is it?〉

[I checked the announcement, there are no changes.]

Both in the voice channel and especially the alliance chat, reactions from alliance members quickly flooded in. Originally, world bosses appeared only during set weeks. Since they were hard to beat but the rewards were great, spawning too often could break the in-game economy. Because of this, the developers flexibly adjusted the appearance cycle of world bosses.

〈Then it must be a story event.〉

〈Did someone run the world boss story part here?〉

[Could it be a total newbie?]

The alliance members guessed the remaining possibility. A world boss that appeared as part of story progression.

"Whoever it is, that person's out of luck."

The alliance leader let out a faint laugh. Even for a story-triggered appearance, the in-game economy sometimes dictated whether the boss could spawn.

〈Guess they didn't check the strategies at all?〉

〈If they did, they would've chosen a busier channel.〉

[They must just be enjoying the game for fun. Cute.]

Alliance members responded similarly. World bosses should be spawned on popular channels, not fringe ones, for quicker clears. That way, the first discoverer could also receive rewards more quickly.

"Well, it works out for us. And probably for that newbie, too."

〈Oh? Is this a summon order?〉

〈It's lunchtime now. I guess people can log in on mobile at least.〉

[If we start auto-hunting, we'll get rewards by evening, right?]

It was currently nighttime in Korea. In Europe, it was lunchtime in most countries. And since mobile login was possible, alliance members could be summoned even if it wasn't the case for other games. The leader sent out a summon notification without hesitation, sure alliance members would soon log in.

[Is something going on there?]

[What's up? Did the server crash?]

[Uh... I can't connect right now?]

Confusion filled the alliance chat as people who saw the notification couldn't log in. Even those already online appeared baffled.

"What? Unable to connect?"

〈What do you mean?〉

〈Internet problem?〉

[No! The channel is maxed out! Check it out!]

The alliance leader immediately opened the channel list, and his eyes grew wide.

"What is going on?"

Just before, there'd been no issue, but in the blink of an eye the channel was now full to capacity. Even more puzzling, only this channel was overloaded while all the others were fine.

"What the... Anyway, everyone who's already online, head to the Kraken!"

[Yes, sir!]

〈Already on my way!〉

〈What in the world is happening?〉

He gathered those who could log in and set a course for the Kraken. Whatever it was, something extraordinary was happening, without a doubt.

* * *

Lee Gyeongbok and Park Juho's mouths fell open. It was the sheer number of participants gathered in front of them after the channel was revealed.

― First Call's performance is nuts lol

― It's not a sea of people, it's a sea of ships!

-5252, I can't even see the ocean!

― Got cut at number 8 in the login queue T_T

― Wow, this is the first time I've seen a queue on the Europe channel

― No way lol, even the fringe channel is full instantly

― What's the sponsor doing! Hurry up and expand the channel!

The sea was packed with sailing ships. Even in the busiest ports, you wouldn't see this many ships gathered.

"Does this even make sense?"

PerParrot hopped up onto Gyeongbok's hat as if wanting to see the end of the crowd. The sight set both the chat and everyone on the ships abuzz.

[PerParrot is adorable lol]

[Hyung! Let me touch PerParrot just once!]

[If I join the Godple fleet, I can see PerParrot, right?]

[I got in, but I have to watch the broadcast anyway lol]

[This hyung just opens up the server and it's an instant open-run every time lol]

Gyeongbok laughed, stroked PerParrot, and clapped lightly.

"Ah, I never imagined so many people would show up. Thank you so much for the enthusiastic support!"

― Honestly, a full channel is a win for everyone, right?

― Sponsor: Smile^^

― It's a Europe channel so fewer slots than other regions, but this is still incredible lol

― Any other country's channel would be full too lol

― That's true too lol

Both the audience and Gyeongbok laughed, but one person couldn't smile.

"What do we do? I can't invite all these people into the fleet. The max is 20 members."

"Yeah, even at a glance, it's easily triple that."

The party system's fleet was capped at 20. But the number of gathered participants was far beyond that.

[Wait, does that mean I can't participate?]

[First come, first served?]

[How do we even know the order? lol]

[I'm satisfied just watching on-site though?]

[Screw the Kraken strat, let's just have a PerParrot tour concert!]

[Is that your goal or what? lol]

Speech bubbles filled half the screen because of all the participant chatter.

'It's a shame to let everyone just leave after coming all this way.'

Though he'd kept it light, Gyeongbok could sense the anxiety among the participants and pondered a solution.

'If I create a temporary legion...?'

Making a legion instead of a fleet would technically make everyone part of the same group and solve the issue. But instinctively, Gyeongbok knew this wasn't the best answer. Feeling uneasy, he reasoned it out.

'It wouldn't be without issues. I'm not planning to make this my main content. If I made a legion with my name on it and people caused trouble while I was away, it'd cause problems.'

So he thought up another solution. It didn't take long to decide.

"Alright, everyone, attention please! Are you all listening?"

― Focus ON!

― People in Capsule probably can't see, no?

― They can just check in-game chat, right? Easy peasy.

― Nah, you can just open voice channel and listen

― They type in chat because Purple viewers are shy about their voices lol

― That, and to avoid disrupting the broadcast, just listening is better

Everyone's attention quickly returned to Gyeongbok. He spoke in a calm voice.

"All of you who came are going to participate in the raid. But because of system limitations, I'll select who to invite into my fleet. However, what's more important than being in the fleet is that we're strategizing together as a group."

Naturally, no one objected. Everyone here was a fan of his show and didn't want to get in the way.

"First thing—I'll organize the traffic! Please cooperate so we can proceed smoothly! Movement is tough right now, so please turn off the collision physics option!"

― Oh? There's an option for that on ships?

― If you set a course on mobile, ships overlap, so you can change it

― Yeah, makes sense lol

― Ghost ship mode ON!

― Purple viewers sure listen to instructions well lol

The participants immediately complied. Gyeongbok then split them into two groups.

"If you're on mobile, move to your left. If you're on Capsule, move right from your perspective!"

"Hm, good call. Controls are different, so separate fleets are best."

Park Juho nodded, ready to give his own suggestions if needed, but it seemed unnecessary.

"Next, two lines by type of ship! Line up in order of highest to lowest grade! Perpagogo, check on the mobile side."

"Understood."

― Perpagogo thought he was relaxing but got assigned a role lol

― Can't have only the CEO working, right? lol

― Data categorization is Perpagogo's thing anyway

― Oh lol, once they start lining up, the vibe totally changes

There was a little confusion, but the sorting didn't take long. Gyeongbok quickly scanned the crowd, then reached out his hand.

"As I said earlier, only those with non-paid setups are eligible. No 'this much should be okay!'—if you don't change, I'll assume you want to solo and leave you out!"

The viewers burst out laughing at this next bit.

― Lol at all the ship sizes shrinking instantly

― That was a 4-star, but it got armor modded lol

― Calling themselves out lol

― Normally, for raid recruiting, everyone's very strict about the standards, but lol

― Is there a raid leader who only takes undergeared players!?

― If you exceed the standard, you're cut—true Perfect Standard!

Once the organization finished, the participants were cleanly sorted.

"This is... quite a sight."

"Right? Our viewers are cool."

Hundreds of sailing ships were neatly arrayed by type and size upon the sea. As Park Juho let out a short exclamation, Gyeongbok laughed along with him. The same went for their viewers.

― Is the spectacle maybe the Minister of Defense?

― Yikes, that kind of 'spectacle'? lol

― See, in the army, formation is everything!

― One of those people who wants to be among our viewers T_T

― How come the Europeans aren't leaving? Huh? Why aren't you leaving!?

― Isn't it lunchtime in Europe? Don't they work?

― Are you ignoring European joblessness or something? lol

Gyeongbok clapped happily.

"Ah, this is awesome! Thanks for your cooperation. Now for the final stage! Time to form the fleet."

A multitude of speech bubbles instantly burst in response.

[Who wants to be a fleet member? Me!]

[I'll become the seal (water dog) if I have to! Wahh!]

[If I get picked, I'll cry instead of PerParrot! Does this make sense? Does it?]

[Trooper! Wakuwaku!]

[I was born between a strict father and a gentle mother...]

[Why does it get so wild every time there's a participation event? lol]

Everyone tried to make their case, but Gyeongbok had already decided the criteria.

"Sorry, but this time, mobile users will be assigned separately."

Mobile users' bubbles filled with "ㅠㅠ."

"But that doesn't mean your role isn't important! Mobile users, please contribute as our specialist bombardment fleet. The person in charge is right here—Perpagogo!"

"Me?"

At first, Park Juho was surprised, but then he nodded.

"Yeah, someone needs to command on that side too."

[Going with Perpagogo?]

[Disappointing, but not actually bad?]

[I'll become the "big data"!]

[Let's climb the rankings with Perpagogo!]

The mobile participants were able to soothe their disappointment that way. Gyeongbok smiled and turned to the Capsule participants.

"Good. Now, I'll select who'll join my fleet!"

As the moment of selection arrived, the chat actually fell silent. The viewers laughed at this.

― Wow, everyone's nervous now lol

-lol, nobody wants to show off and get dropped from the list

― For real, if you make yourself look weird, you'll never get picked for the fleet lol

― So, is he going by performance?

― That's the safest way to get more points

― With Perpagogo gone, he can pick 19 more!

― Whoever gets in, I'm super jealous T_T

Gyeongbok nodded, smiling at the chat reactions.

"Yes, I'll pick based on performance."

As the fleet list started to fill quickly, the viewers were left perplexed.

-????

― Only picking 3-star ships?

― Huh? That IS by performance, but in reverse order!

― Why the heck is he picking from the back row!?

― So envious! Making things hard for himself again!

-???: Ahh, that guy's the weakest for sure (and it's true)

The participants Gyeongbok called up were actually those in the very back row. The 19 people summoned to the deck all looked at each other with awkward expressions.

"I mean, it's great, but..."

"Is this really okay...?"

"Did you pick us as a favor since we're newbies?"

"What if we just end up holding you back?"

"Does he not care about the ranking?"

They were happy to be picked, but also worried about being dead weight. Noticing the nervousness among the newly-formed fleet, Gyeongbok spoke confidently.

"Don't worry too much. And yes, of course we'll be aiming for the ranking spots."

Everyone turned their eyes to him. Gyeongbok finished brightly:

"Just follow my instructions."

* * *

Meanwhile, on the LogGames relay channel.

― No way? The channel is already maxed out?

― Hey hey, are you joking? Connecting this fast is impossible!

― Er, this is a Japan-made game but the Japanese can't play? That's nonsense (laughs)

Korean viewers weren't the only ones wanting to join the Kraken raid. Japanese viewers who failed to connect flooded the chat.

― But, but you need to translate Purple's words into subtitles, so from the start it was a lost cause?

― Haaa, is Japan's internet the problem again? Lost right from the loading screen lol

― Hmph, this battle is my victory because I prepared in advance by studying Korean.

― What, so the ones who know Korean were able to get in? That's impressive!

A handful of people did manage to log in. Those who called themselves Gyeongbok's fans had studied Korean and secured raid spots.

― So if you don't know Korean, you're out anyway?

― Do you HAVE to study Korean to get a chance to play with Purple?

― Ah, well, guess it's decided. I'll study Korean! I'll absolutely master it!

― This guy lol, fired up but will definitely put it off till next time www

Still, if you didn't know Korean, even logging in wouldn't mean you could participate. Viewers, disappointed, returned to watching the show.

― Whoa—First Call's effect is crazy!

― Too many ships gathered, I lost it lol

― Huh? Did he deliberately only choose newbies? No, seriously, this is no joke! You can't win with numbers alone!

― Planning to win by numbers? Are we underestimating Age of Oceans? (laughs)

Even though some were surprised at the participant count, there weren't many optimistic about the situation.

― Shouldn't someone tell Purple? The raid will never end like this!

― The Kraken has bombardment resistance. Numbers alone won't clear it.

― Sea monster types like Sea Serpent have high defense, right? But Kraken has additional traits?

― Hey, everyone knows this. The Kraken is a mollusk! Like a squishy slime, right?

As a mollusk, the Kraken's tentacles had no bones, letting it absorb impact; thus, standard cannonballs did little damage.

― As someone who spent money, I think Purple made a mistake. If he'd recruited geared players, it would've been easier.

― Yeah! Yeah! You can't do it with normal cannons! He shouldn't have sold off that Atlantis-brand water cannon!

― With high-pressure water, you could clear faster! Why'd you give it up?

― With this many, it'll take three hours, right? Reminds me of Yattaman's broadcasts lol

Pay-to-win viewers predicted it would take significant time, with people betting on the clear time in the chat. But as Gyeongbok's words were translated, the chat's mood shifted.

― No way, is he really forming the fleet with only the weakest ships?

― Feels like he's sacrificing for the viewers? That's just like Purple lol

― What? Aiming for rankings? Stop, Purple, that's enough already!

― Is this the cue to throw out common sense? Success flag, activated!

― If you're a Purple fan, you know the outcome already lol

Despite concern, the raid teams were formed and the operation began. Hundreds of sailing ships moved across the sea, approaching the Kraken's scattered tentacles.

〈Capsule participants, try following my strategy!〉

Gyeongbok's voice rang out, quickly subtitled below. The chat briefly filled with question marks, but once Gyeongbok's strategy began, the viewers couldn't look away.

― What? Really? Charge!?

― Going with ram attacks? No, those don't work!

― Man, you have no idea! Purple messed up!

Gyeongbok and his fleet approached the tentacles. The chat filled with worry, but his strategy surprised everyone. A tentacle tried to wrap around the nearest sailing ship, but bounced off after being hit by a cannonball.

〈Don't be afraid! I'll handle the suppression! Just get caught!〉

Gyeongbok was providing suppressive bombardment. Meanwhile, the fleet members got right next to the tentacle. Then what they threw were—

― Grappling hooks? They're throwing grapples?!

― Hand-to-hand combat with the Kraken's tentacles? No way!

― I never would've imagined this! This is the perfect strategy!

They used hook-and-rope to pin the tentacle for close combat. Nineteen ships surrounded a tentacle and latched on with hooks.

〈Great! Doing well! Now just start moving!〉

With Gyeongbok's encouragement, the ships started spinning in a spiral. The taut ropes wrapped around the base of the tentacle, and the hooks began to tear into its flesh. The tentacle tried to thrash in agony but failed.

〈Don't worry! Keep circling! I'm marking the target!〉

With more bombardments, the tentacle rebounded again.

[WORLD BOSS]

[Kraken – 93.1%]

[1. Purple Fleet (4.2%)]

[2. Perpagogo's Logic Circuit Fleet (0.9%)]

[3. Perpagogo's Algorithm Fleet (0.7%)]

...

As the tentacle tore, contribution percentages shot up, putting them in the top ranks. Once Gyeongbok demonstrated, the other fleets tried to follow suit. But not having Gyeongbok's precision, they split the roles of suppression and grappling.

― Where did all the people go who said it wouldn't work just now? lol

― Never thought of a grappling strategy! This is pure creativity, totally cheating!

― I used to think you had to pay to win. I've learned my lesson!

― It's not just physical skill, this strategy shows huge trust in Purple! Normally nobody would approach the tentacle on command!

― Ah, so it's a matter of trust? The bond between Purple and viewers is amazing!

Praises filled the chat, but even so, the situation wasn't entirely optimistic. Most Japanese viewers were seasoned gamers.

― Purple's broadcasts! I can't look away!

― But will this strategy work for the next phase?

― This strategy works on tentacles, but the main event hasn't even started yet...

They couldn't help but worry about what came next.

― What, even if it's phase two, wouldn't Purple still pull it off?

Right now, the raid was only fighting tentacles. The Kraken's main body was yet to come.
