Chapter 446 Minsu Can't Stop (4)
“Hey, did you all watch that video?”
“What is that Asura or what video?”
“Isn’t that really crazy? The title of the scenario is the end.”
“I think it’s true that he’s the world’s best at running games like shit.”
Minsu's declaration that struck the world.
As a result, people were talking about this and talking loudly in all places, both on the Internet and in reality, but it was especially severe in the case of students of Seomin University's Department of Virtual Reality Engineering.
“Isn’t this really going to blow up the company?”
“Oh, can that be? How many businesses are you running all over the world right now?”
“that's right. don't talk nonsense If Arcadia goes bankrupt, we will all be unemployed.”
A final scene scenario that may decide the fate of the company. Although it was not clearly stated, it left enough room for the worst situation they imagined to happen, so those who have studied only virtual reality for more than 3 years have no choice but to feel especially anxious.
“Rather than that... who the hell is that? A top manager?”
A being who identified himself as Asura, the owner of the Black Mist, and a key participant in the creation of Arcadia and virtual reality. When the official position of Arcadia Co., Ltd. was announced regarding the story he mentioned, the whole world fell into a great shock again.
[There are people who have developed core technologies and programs needed to build a virtual reality system, including Arcadia. And they offered some specific conditions in exchange for cooperation with our company... namely Arcadia. This final scenario is one of those conditions.]
[In principle, all of Arcadia's executives and employees, including myself, strongly oppose the scenario, and we officially announce it here and now. However, since no one has the authority to prevent this scenario created by this core developer, there is no way for us to do it either.] Confessions
of general manager Lee Mi-yeon.
Everyone was astonished at the fact that the company's control system was completely out of control, and at the same time, by a few developers who did not know who the product of this ultra-futuristic scientific technology that was ahead of at least a century was I opened my mouth at the fact that I was born.
[All I can tell you is that in order to save this beautiful fantasy world, the scenario that will start this time must be prevented. And as compensation, I will confirm once again that it is also true that you will receive a 15% share of Arcadia Co., Ltd.]
The actual owner of this Arcadia.
Corporation Argos. Silicoff Bio Industries. Ajin Electronics.
The news that as much as 15% of Arcadia's shares, which have never been released to the market in the solid equity structure completely owned and controlled by these three companies, may be released, literally made the world's financial world in a feverish desire. eyes turned upside down
- The goose that lays the golden eggs. Who is the main character of Arcadia's shares?
-Formation of a consortium for the final chapter of Arcadia, a large US financial company.
- The situation in virtual reality that is tied to modern financial capital. Will the war of money begin?
- Hedge funds jumping into virtual reality. The most important point is the supply of manpower.
Every single company or company... Even a country is paying attention to this situation happening in the world of Arcadia and jumping in one after another.
It was unbelievable that it was happening with just one game, but the situation was getting bigger and bigger, but Jaeyoung's expression as he looked at it all was indifferent.
“Hey Jaeyoung...”
“Why?”
Jae-kyun, who had been watching from a while ago. When he carefully spoke out, Jaeyoung immediately answered without even listening to his question.
“I’ll tell you in advance, if you want to ask me anything about this final chapter, just don’t do it. Because I don't know anything about it.”
“Is that so? Oh, I see.”
Jae-kyun keeps his mouth shut with a slightly embarrassed expression at Jae-young's determined reaction. But even after that, he continued to mumble and asked again if he could not stand it.
“Th... Then, are you planning to stop the final chapter?”
“Why the hell are you curious about that?”
“No... I'm a little nervous too. There are not just one or two projects in progress, but everyone is in a very ugly atmosphere because of rumors that the company itself may suddenly close down and the virtual reality service may end... just in case...” Arcadia Co.,
Ltd. As a special scholarship student and freelancer, Jae-kyun is participating in projects of world-renowned companies and government agencies.
As a genius creator, who has enjoyed tremendous popularity, earned astronomical profits, and gained wealth and honor in one hand, he feels a lot of anxiety about the fact that a huge crisis has come to the virtual reality industry, which is his lifeline and source. there was.
“....I do not know either. Let’s take a look at the situation and decide.”
“Yes....? What do you mean?”
Jae-kyun is surprised by Jae-young's ambiguous answer and asks back. However, Jaeyoung grumbled in a voice mixed with annoyance, showing an uncomfortable expression without adding or subtracting.
“I don’t know why they keep playing with people like this... but I have no intention of putting the rhythm to these ridiculous pranks.”
“...?”
Jaekyun, who did not understand the meaning of Jaeyoung's words, put on a stupid expression and tilted his head, but he couldn't bear to ask him, who seemed to be in a bad mood.
‘That Asura... was the one who created my job.'
Asura, the master of the Black Mist.
Looking at his tone and behavior, who identified himself as the top manager, Jaeyoung was convinced.
The one who enjoys being messed up more than anyone else in Arcadia. Thinking back on the message he whispered when he transferred himself to the fraudulent job of a wanderer in this turbulent world, it was clear that he was enjoying himself watching other users, including himself, struggle in the game from somewhere.
“Who the hell is this.....”
The identity of the top developer that President Lee Mi-yeon had mentioned to him. Although he had never mentioned any information related to him, strangely, for some reason, Jaeyoung had a strange feeling that he had already met him.
“Who is it...”
After that, Jaeyoung pondered and pondered alone for a long time.
About the story that will happen in Arcadia in the future and how to respond in that story.
* * *
“Nannannan~. I really like you~ Ttorai~ Mong.” Minsu is humming a strange song and tapping the keyboard with his fingers busy. And on his desk, there were a bunch of cans of hot chocolate that he had already drank.
[What on earth are you working so hard on...?]
Jack suddenly jumped out of the monitor screen. And he looked at Minsu, who seemed to have stayed up all night with an absurd look, and asked.
“Whatever I do, of course, I had an idea to create a perfect scenario.”
[What is it..... have you already made up a scenario about the end or something?]
“Not all of them... First of all, roughly.”
Minsu smiles with a satisfied smile. Jack, who suddenly felt a sense of fear at his mad smile, spoke urgently.
[Show me.]
“Wait a minute..... Ellis, can you send some to Jack, the file you just worked on?”
[Okay..... Data transmission complete.]
Minsu's first disaster immediately appeared before Jack's eyes. And Jack's expression after confirming the contents changed moment by moment.
[Is this possible?]
“All reviews have already been completed. You don't need to specially conceive or pay attention to production, and since it's a scenario that uses content from the game that was already hidden, Alice said there's nothing particularly problematic about it. All strategy already exists inside Arcadia.”
[I said it was possible, but I didn't say it wouldn't be a problem, Manager.]
Ellis promptly corrects him. But Minsu smiled and smirked as if that was it.
“Anyway, you said you could proceed according to this scenario.”
[There are concerns in many areas when considering the overall capabilities of users, but it is possible if judged according to the agreed standard.]
“Then, that's it. Anyway, this is the end of the first scenario idea!”
Minsu jumps up from his seat and stretches with a happy face as if everything is okay. However, unlike him who was full of reward that he had finished the work he had to do all night, Jack's expression was literally pale.
[Hey... Hey! This is honestly a bit harsh.]
“Huh? What's so bad?”
[No, forced to activate the second half crisis? Not just one, but five at the same time...! Did you forget that each of these second-half crisis scenarios is a catastrophe that is close to destruction?]
A madman who wants to set off five disasters that have already been hidden like time bombs at the same time, saying that they are one disaster. It felt like a trick to prank everyone at the level of a pun, but Minsu didn't agree with Jack's idea.
“Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy, the numbers are still serious. The number of users alone exceeds billions, and if you consider the power of normal NPCs, that number is more than double, but this is enough.”
[No matter how much it is..... This is.....]
Jack is making a confused expression, as if he doesn't even know how to convince the world's greatest madman. However, Alice told him not to worry too much.
[Don't worry, admin. We plan to adjust the level of difficulty to some extent before starting the scenario.]
[Really?]
“What? Where is that?”
Jack is delighted at the idea of lowering the level of difficulty, and Minsu is repulsed.
Despite the completely opposite reactions of the two, Ellis answered with a slightly firm tone.
[Crisis scenarios in the latter half are forcibly triggered through the administrator's ex officio, not due process and procedure. It is considered a natural measure to impose some penalties for opening scenarios that do not satisfy the essential conditions.]
[That's right! that's right! Of course you should!]
Jack agrees with Alice's support shot. At the attack of the two, Min-soo frowned, unable to find any grounds for rebuttal, but accepted it.
“Hmm... well, I don’t like it, but Alice, if you say that, I get it.”
[Approximately 2 days are required to proceed with the related work.]
“Two days... not bad.”
[So soon...?]
Minsu wants to see the start of the scenario as soon as possible, and Jack wants to delay this situation as much as possible.
Looking at Jack, who seemed to be standing in the complete opposite of him, Minsu gave a strangely playful smile and said with emphasis as if to listen.
“Take care of it as quickly as possible and start the scenario. I want to have all the fun quickly before Eugene comes to Korea to catch me.”
[All right. I'll work on it as a top priority.]
In the past, Min-soo planned it himself and put it into the game, arrogantly asking Jack to implement it.
Each one was a huge disaster and disaster for the entire continent of Arcadia, and those seeds that were dormant in an unknown place were forcibly trying to germinate in this Arcadia.
[Apocalypse Project No. 1.]
[Giant disaster sweeping over the continent.]
As the first disaster of Asura.
