41 – Streamer Soma (3)

Early morning, Powell Software’s Korean branch located in Gangnam.

Currently, Eugene, along with Kyeol, were here at the courteous invitation of Powell Software.

It’s nothing else, it was because of the business related to the battle data collection and motion capture of the DLC boss monster that will be released soon.

A while ago, when talking with a Powell Software employee at a cafe, Eugene accepted the terms without thinking.

But now, Eugene thinks that he was a bit careless at the time.

And the reason was simple indeed.

Chorong Chorong.

From the moment Eugene entered the headquarters of Powell Software, all eyes were focused on him from here and there.

Even the employee at Powell Software, who was waiting at the information desk to guide Eugene and Winter, was staring at his face, so what the hell do I need to say?

“So… Is that man the one? Streamer Soma?”

“Yes, yes! The PR department kids have been fussing all day saying that person will be here today!”

“But it seems to be subtly different from what you see on the screen? What is it?”

“You are much more handsome than what you see on the screen! Isn’t that enough?”

It started with the sound of female employees passing by the information desk staring at him and openly whispering.

“My girlfriend is a fan of Soma, and she told me to get her autograph today.”

“Did you do any sports? The real proportions are no joke. Even if you only wielded a sword for at least 20 years, everyone would believe you.”

From the gaze of the male employees looking at him with envy in their eyes!

No matter how much they say that Eugene is used to receiving attention from an unspecified number of people, this doesn’t seem like much.

I’d rather come closer to you and talk to you, and you wouldn’t know it again, but why the hell are you talking about looking at people from a distance?

However, the employees of Powell Software did not simply not get close to Eugene because they felt burdened or that they would become a nuisance to him.

‘The general director threatened Soma that he would not let her go if she did anything rude to her. He told me to treat him not just as a streamer, but as a partner of a company called Powell Software.’

‘Well, I have no choice but to do that. They say that the sales of Nightfall have increased dramatically recently because of Soma-sama.’

This month’s total sales of Powell Software due to Nightfall were showing a ridiculous increase of 11% compared to the previous month.

It was a normal phenomenon for the sales volume of bondi package games to be the highest in the first month and gradually decrease as time passed.

However, Nightfall showed the miracle of increasing sales as if it were running backwards on the charts.

Nightfall’s stockholders and management couldn’t hide their surprise at something that was almost impossible in normal circumstances, and soon the cause was clearly revealed.

“I analyzed it with big data, but I heard that there are so many people who bought Nightfall after watching Soma’s broadcast?”

“Thanks to you, I heard that Powell Software’s stock rose 3 percent from the previous day. At that level, it deserves to be treated as a VVIP at the company level.”

Considering the market capitalization of Powell Software, the company actually made a huge profit!

Of course, I couldn’t say that all these phenomena were happening because of Eugene.

The stock market was not an easy place to the extent that stock prices exploded or plummeted because of the performance of a simple streamer.

However, whether it was a coincidence or not, Powell Software had no choice but to cherish and cherish Eugene even more.

But in this situation, what if Eugene declares that he will no longer do broadcasts related to Nightfall?

I don’t know, but the management and shareholders who have benefited greatly from Eugene’s broadcast will not stand still!

For this very reason, it can be said that the employees of Powell Software worshiped him like a shrine.

“This way.”

Following the staff who treated him in such a polite manner, he went to the conference room on the 10th floor, where he found a completely unexpected person waiting for him.

“Hello, streamer sword lord. It’s the first time we’ve seen each other face to face like this.”

He was an unexpected person, and at the same time, he was a person who was familiar with Eugene, who had a very narrow relationship with him.

“Nice to meet you. Sword Lord. My name is Hayao Misaka.”

It was none other than Hayao Misaka, executive director of Nightfall and vice president of Powell Software.

I heard that Eugene was visiting the Korean branch of Powell Software today, so I went all the way to Korea to meet him!

“I’ve always wanted to meet Sword Lord in real life someday, but I never thought that the opportunity would come so soon. We, Powell Software, would like to sincerely welcome you.”

The sight of Hayao Misaka showing such a kind smile and treating Eugene in a very respectful manner made Winter feel a shudder inside.

‘Oh my God… I can’t believe someone the size of Hayao Misaka is welcoming his older brother with that attitude!’

Watching the famous figure greet Eugene directly from a screen, Winter finally felt the reality surrounding him come to life.

The fact that the current Eugene has gone beyond being a mere hot topic that made the internet go wild, has literally become a rising star!

On the other hand, Hayao Misaka, who was welcoming Eugene, felt the same way for some reason.

“I watched Sword Lord’s recent broadcast very well. Sword Lord always showed us how to play far beyond our expectations. It was very impressive to see him capture Ariandel while skipping the various gimmicks we prepared in the hidden route.”

Especially at the time of the first broadcast, on the topic of fighting Ariandel on equal footing, the general director felt a surge of inspiration while watching the scene where he completely overwhelmed him in this broadcast.

Thanks to that, for the first time in a long time, I felt like my blood was boiling as a game director.

If a boss monster was created with Eugene as a model, how much perfection would a work of art come out of? All kinds of happy delusions like that were enough to eat into his head!

So, I have to continue to have a good relationship with him.

Thinking of the upcoming DLC of Nightfall and sales of the sequel to Nightfall!

“Kuhmm, I personally have a lot of things I want to share with the sword lord… That shouldn’t be the case. I’m here today to collect Soma-sama’s battle data.”

The general director, who said that in a voice full of regret, led Eugene and Winter to a certain room.

It was no different, it was a strange room with countless machines that looked similar to pitching machines commonly found in baseball batting rinks.

“First of all, before collecting the sword lord’s battle data, I plan to test a few things here.”

“… Test? What is it?”

At those words, Yujin tilted her head.

“No big deal. Before collecting battle data in earnest, I plan to measure the level of sword lord’s reflexes. That way, we will be able to measure the sword lord’s physicality more efficiently.”

“Whoa.”

At the general director’s words, Eugene smiled intrigued.

Actually, he was also curious. About your current physical condition.

Although it is said that all the mana in the body disappeared after returning to Earth, recently, as he practiced his intentions in virtual reality, he felt that his physical state was also recovering, albeit weakly.

So, from a scientific point of view, I really wanted to check at least once how much performance my current body would have.

“How does it measure?”

“It’s simple. Just stand in the middle of the room and dodge the balls from the pitching machines. If the ball hits your body, the test ends immediately. If you pass the test, you may challenge the next level of difficulty. .”

“I like that it’s simple. It must be fun.”

The staff in the room smiled bitterly at Eugene’s relaxed answer.

Well. I’m sure this test isn’t that easy.

‘The national team fencer who came to do motion capture the other day also got a serious nose injury while saying something like that.’

‘Was that athlete limited to 5 out of 7 stages?’

Meanwhile, Yoo-jin moves his steps towards the middle of the room, not caring at all about how the people around him are looking at him.

“I’m ready.”

At Eugene’s words, the general director nodded and murmured in a low voice.

“Start testing.”

Pushushung-!

At the same time, balls are fired from pitching machines installed throughout the room.

Some fast, some slow, some straight, some curved!

East, west, south, north, up, down, left and right, balls flying in and out filling this space as if there is nowhere to escape!

Some staff sighed at the appearance of the ball hitting the body at any moment, and the test seemed to end in one second.

But.

From noble mtl dot com

“…Huh?”

“What, what?”

In the next moment, everyone gathered here opened their eyes wide.

The ball did not hit Eugene’s body.

As if Eugene’s body didn’t exist, the balls pass right through Eugene’s body.

What kind of phenomenon is this?

Is it true that Eugene’s true identity was a ghost?

Otherwise, how could a human body do such a thing-

‘… No, the ball does not pass through the body.’

After straining his eyes, the general director realized what Eugene was doing.

Yujin was just dodging the ball with a gap of a piece of paper right before the ball hit her body.

It’s just that the process happened so quickly that to others it looked like the ball was passing through the body!

With such leisurely movements as if he was out for a walk in some ways, and simple movements as if he were dancing in some ways, Yujin succeeded in dodging all the balls.

Then he looked at the general director and smiled.

“This is interesting. I feel like I’ve been relaxing for the first time in a while. So, can I get the next level of testing?”

“…No.”

“Yes? No? What is it? I’m sure if you pass the test earlier, you can take on the next test-“

“…So, there is no next level of testing.”

The general director forced his lips to move and was able to answer just like that.

“Because… The test the sword lord just passed… Was actually the highest level, level 7 test.”

The general director, who tried to test Eugene slightly by wondering where he was at his limits, realized that he was foolish.

Streamer Soma, Sword Master. And swordsman.

From the beginning, he was a human who existed beyond the limit of human beings.
