Chapter 86 : Superstar N
Chapter 86: Superstar N
The teaser trailer began with a scene of Baek Woohyun in test subject clothing standing stock-still.
Blood dripped drip drip from the fingertips of him dyed entirely red, and around him security guards’ corpses were scattered here and there.
As he wrapped in terribly heavy oppressive force was backed by ominously flowing background music, just watching made one’s mouth go dry with tension.
Then soon a splash- sound of blood splashing was heard, and Baek Woohyun slowly turned his head to look this way.
His two eyes revealed between the mask were unspeakably eerie. Because black and white were reversed, and they were murkily clouded, all the more so.
Next, as he instantaneously approached and extended a blood-soaked hand filling the screen, the screen changed and battle scenes of Baek Woohyun replaced that spot.
Battle scenes continuing as if a mad movie highlight was edited and bundled together briefly!
His appearance rampaging madly regardless of PVP or PVE was thoroughly proving why he was called Hackphysical.
-“······.”
What appeared at the end of the splendid battle was the back view of Baek Woohyun sitting in a chair.
In neat condition, he was watching over ten screens floating in the air. They were ‘Reverse Planet’ gameplay videos of various different people.
Quietly watching that, he muttered in a low voice.
-“I’ll have to see directly.”
After that, the video ended with a plain white mask that Baek Woohyun always wore in privacy protection mode being tap placed on the table.
What remained on the black screen was the title ‘Superstar N (meaning Nuclear~)’ written in luxurious gold letters.
“Did you watch well? The next ‘Hack Tour’ content will be Hackphysical’s disciple selection audition, ‘Superstar N (meaning Nuclear~)’!”
-Killed it
-They even made a teaser lololol
-The video quality in the midst of that is insane though?
-An audition for selecting disciples? Let’s do it right now! lol
At Jeong Nayeon’s declaration, viewers’ cheers continued.
Following the great news that Hackphysical, Baek Woohyun, would become properly able to communicate, the awesome teaser trailer was enough to captivate them.
Meaning it made them unable to even think ‘What audition for just selecting disciples?’
‘Lugias’ donated ‘1,000 won’!
[Everything’s good but upvote if you think the name is ridiculously bad lololol starting with me lololol]
-Okay
-Upvote
-Why did they add that Nuclear meaning bullshit at the back
-Not being able to name things is the standard for Hack Tour···
However, the aftermath from it arose bigger than expected.
The news that Baek Woohyun would take disciples was already receiving attention from all communities, and on top of that they threw in a very well-made preview, so it had to be that way.
Even those who didn’t know about Hackphysical and disciples found themselves falling for the excellent teaser trailer quality without realizing it.
Therefore, it was natural for the community to be swept up in stories related to Baek Woohyun once again.
✪ The teaser was really fucking well made
Felt like watching a movie trailer ㄷㄷ
How much money did they throw at this for such quality
You can clearly see they properly prepared and made it
But why is the content name like that? (genuinely don’t know)
-What’s the content name
ㄴSuperstar N (meaning Nuclear~)
ㄴBy the way (meaning Nuclear~) this part is also included in the name
ㄴNo fucking way that’s the name??
-For real everything’s good but please the name
-If they’d at least cut off the back part it wouldn’t be this bad
-Seeing Hack Tour and Hackomakase, there are still many who haven’t come to their senses
ㄴIf that’s coffee, this is TOP
-I’d rather they had a naming contest
-The teaser is freaking awesome
Evaluations of the teaser trailer quality were all favorable reviews no matter what community you went to. Saying they used great editing to bring out the legendary material deliciously.
As a bonus, complaints about the content name Superstar N (meaning Nuclear~) were also the same no matter what community you went to.
Though some among those who had enjoyed ‘Hack Tour’ content from the beginning seemed already adapted─or resigned.
[General] I extracted the participant list that appeared in the teaser
Comments: 541│Views: 25,714│Upvotes: 2,298

This is the result of checking while enlarging each video

─The one I was supporting seems to have fallen out ㅜㅜ
└I guessed they wouldn’t make it since they’re small-time but it’s disappointing
└The person I recommended also fell out lol
─I don’t know what criteria they used to select
└At least it doesn’t seem to be viewer count?
└Seeing there are mid-tier and small-timers, high probability they really didn’t look at viewer count
└That’s why the criteria is even more mysterious lololol
─Wonder if there will be alternates
─The one I watch got selected lol they said they’d set out water and pray, guess it worked lol
└Getting selected through the power of prayer ㄷㄷ
There was also considerable interest in various ways about who would participate in Superstar N (meaning Nuclear~).
One community user even went through the participant videos from scenes briefly passing by in the teaser trailer one by one to create a list.
Since they had originally received recommendations for broadcasters to become Hackphysical’s disciples, it was quite a natural result for them to show curiosity about the participant list.
☉ Is it just me who finds Hack Tour’s story interesting?
I’m watching without much thought but it was fucking thrilling
I was shocked seeing large-scale rampage incidents and Invaders already appearing
-It is interesting ㅇㅇ
-I’m also watching it interestingly
-I wish they’d finish the story before Superstar N
ㄴThat doesn’t seem right lol
Of course, due to the nature of communities where many people gather, not everyone paid attention to Superstar N.
Rather, there were also those interested in the story like the large-scale rampage incident or Invader appearance that came out in this broadcast.
They just seemed unable to cause a big stir being only a handful compared to those talking about Superstar N.
─[Raddy It – Reverse Planet]─
▷Mr. Cheater’s broadcast this time is surprising
▷Appearance of an Invader with strange behavior
▷The meaning of the early occurrence of large-scale rampage incidents
▷Conditions for seeing new stories are too harsh
Rather, the stir from this story arose even bigger overseas.
Unlike Korea where the proportion of those who don’t value story relatively highly was high, overseas there was even ‘Reverse Planet’ worldview research.
Overseas users who explored the story that diligently were amazed by the fact that Baek Woohyun, who was still only in the early stages, faced a large-scale rampage incident and an Invader.
▷Mr. Cheater’s broadcast this time is surprising
Invader appearance following large-scale rampage incident occurrence
The even more surprising fact is Mr. Cheater’s story progress is still only in the early stages
From now on, no one knows what story he will progress through
=Uncollected foreshadowing may be revealed
=I’m not surprised. Very common in Korea
=Not called Cheater for nothing
=Speculation is also emerging that the Invader is also part of some foreshadowing
Thanks to the story faction who watched Hackphysical’s broadcast, called Mr. Cheater in English, even using translators, reactions were even more immediate.
Raddy It, the community commonly called Reddit, was even filled with stories of Baek Woohyun, so what more needed to be said?
Of course, this was also because his name had been widely spread through the appearance of the Fully Responsive AI earlier, but it was certainly still an impressive thing.
▷”I definitely watch Mr. Cheater’s broadcasts”
iTuber ‘Chloe Martinez’ said Mr. Cheater’s broadcasts overflow with new information and story
She revealed she is currently an avid viewer of Mr. Cheater’s broadcasts and will continue to be
=’Chloe Martinez’ is very serious about story so she’s trustworthy
=I’m also an avid Mr. Cheater broadcast viewer like her
=Waiting for it to be uploaded as video
=Mr. Cheater’s broadcasts are also very enjoyable for the eyes. He is very strong
Chloe Martinez, a famous overseas iTuber, even openly mentioned Mr. Cheater, Baek Woohyun, on her own broadcast.
Since she was famous for being serious about ‘Reverse Planet’s’ worldview and story, she became even more of an opportunity for overseas users to pay attention to Baek Woohyun.
Following her saying she watches Baek Woohyun’s broadcasts, several people trying to watch his broadcasts appeared, but what results that would meet was still unknown.
One interesting point was the fact that such overseas reactions were translated back to Korea, and reactions began appearing even on the indifferent Korean community side.
Meaning beyond those called story bugs, people subtly talking about how amazing Baek Woohyun’s story was gradually increased.
With everyone starting to talk about the story, it couldn’t help but be truly a strange thing.
***
Turning back time somewhat.
Before the broadcast where the teaser trailer was announced began.
‘Anonymous Viewer 62’ donated ‘1,000,000 won’!
[For future Special Missions, reliable companions may be necessary]
“······.”
Baek Woohyun quietly looked at Anonymous Viewer 62’s donation that Jeong Nayeon had brought.
This donation sent immediately after announcing the disciple training content contained content recommending he accept the disciples as his team.
For him who naturally thought it would be related to Special Mission completion, it was quite unexpected content, so naturally his contemplation couldn’t help but lengthen.
‘Anonymous Viewer 62, presumed to be the developer, wouldn’t make such a recommendation for no reason.’
That meant, in short.
‘High probability that situations requiring companions will arise in the future.’
“Nayeon.”
“Yeah?”
Having organized his thoughts, Baek Woohyun called Jeong Nayeon, who had been doing something else briefly.
“What content in ‘Reverse Planet’ requires a party?”
“Mm- Well. First, missions can be done solo anyway so excluding those. You mean content that absolutely requires a party, right?”
“Right.”
“Then Raid Battles.”
Raid Battles, called Raid in English, was one of PVE’s two major contents along with Distorted Reverse Worlds.
If Distorted Reverse Worlds were enhanced dungeons where various monsters appeared, Raid Battles could be seen as the act of catching one single powerful entity.
There was the difference that unlike Distorted Reverse Worlds that could be repeatedly progressed continuously, rewards could only be obtained once a week.
“Usually Raid Battles have special gimmicks. It’s not just beating them down, you have to break through gimmicks too, so you can consider a party absolutely necessary.”
“Raid Battles···.”
Baek Woohyun, who muttered briefly, crossed his arms.
He intuitively realized that Raid Battles were the ‘future Special Missions’ that Anonymous Viewer 62 mentioned.
If you recalled that Pet System update following Reverse World subjugation was treated as Special Mission completion, eight or nine out of ten would be correct.
‘This is ultimately telling me to step up more seriously in disciple training.’
Fortunately, Baek Woohyun happened to have one good method to do so.
A method he hadn’t completely refused but had pushed back saying he’d think about it a bit more.
Though he hadn’t done so with such situations in mind, with things having come to this point, there was no need to refuse to the end.
“That audition program thing you mentioned before. Is it still valid?”
“Of course!”
To Jeong Nayeon who nodded with delight, Baek Woohyun said.
“Let’s do it.”
