Chapter 443 Minsu can’t stop (1)
Arcadia Co., Ltd. is a world-class company.
However, this company, which has a bad reputation from consumers for its ability to handle business, is worse than any other small and medium-sized company, and everyone was busy holding on to the receiver and running around, sweating profusely, unable to wake up from the sudden drop of lightning.
“Yes sir. This is because it’s not at a stage where we can tell you yet…..” “
No, we can’t guarantee that a serious situation like this scenario won’t happen. If you just wait for the official announcement right now…”
“Reporter Kim, are you going to write a real article like that? If you do, be prepared to never see me again!”
“If you spread false information like that, we will take legal action immediately for obstruction of business. Take care.”
An anomaly that suddenly occurred in the game.
It wasn’t that something special happened or a notification popped up in the system, but the calls from reporters and general consumers after seeing the entire sky shattered like a window were beyond their ability to handle.
-A strange occurrence happened again. What happened again this time?
– Arcadia where accidents do not end. Explosion of consumer anger.
-The symbol of discord (Co.) Arcadia. Ranked #1 in Worst Companies in the Service Category by Forbis.

Articles with all kinds of negative and sensational titles are starting to pour in, and consumers’ public sentiment is reaching the pinnacle of patience. They tried their best to calm down the media and calm the users by somehow teasing, appeasing, and even threatening them, but the efforts of those who struggled to stay up all night did not work at all.
“are you kidding! This is a damn company! Even if we leave the management of the company to Poppy, I will do better than this!”
“Come on boss! Come out, boss, yeah!”
“Move! Aren’t you covering this? Is it okay to make fun of consumers like this because it’s a proud big company? uh?”
Protesters appeared in front of the Arcadia office building.
The unity created by gamers who were purely angry at this poor management created an enormous explosive power and began to produce scenes never seen before.
“What is that?”
“truck….? Now they even mobilize trucks for protests.”
A truck with a giant electric billboard installed that can only be found during election campaigns.
And in that truck, it was scathingly criticizing the atrocities and behavior of Arcadia Co., Ltd. with stimulating and sensational phrases in a dazzling and large size for all passers-by to see.
“Ha… I don’t think this situation will end so easily, Executive Director.”
A huge crowd of people looking down from the top of the building.
Knowing that all of them were users who had opened the door due to this situation and reporters who gathered to get an article, the time off from work was already passing, but no one was able to leave the company door easily.
“By any chance… did the boss say anything?”
Whether it’s an explanation or an apology, the company’s official position on this situation seems to have to be announced. However, since no guidelines had been given, everyone kept their mouths shut, but Director Kang Tae-hoon looked at Executive Director Kwon Myung-han with a worried expression and asked.
“I’m still having a video discussion with the directors of Arcadia Co., Ltd. I’m sure you’ll throw something to sort things out right now.”
Executive Director Kwon Kyeong-han said that we still have to wait. Director Kang Tae-hun nodded slightly at those words, and soon opened his mouth again with a cautious face.
“Um… but that’s it. Does the Executive Director know anything about the current situation in the game?”
“hmm? What do you mean?”
“No… that’s… I tried to check the related data, but I couldn’t read it with my authority, so just in case…..”
General Manager Kang Tae-hoon, who has a fairly high level of access among Arcadia’s employees. . However, even he couldn’t confirm any information related to this situation, so he scratched his head as if he was a little troubled and blurted out his words.
“…Don’t expect any information from me. Because I couldn’t read it either.”
“Executive Director… is that so…?”
Among the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., Myung-Han Kwon, executive director right below President Lee Mi-Yeon.
Director Kang Tae-Hoon’s face suddenly darkened at the fact that he couldn’t even read it.
Since this meant that this was not just a simple and trivial happening, but something bigger than the recent World War II, he thought of the difficult and harsh future ahead for himself and his subordinates.
‘Really… should I resign this time…?’
While he was seriously contemplating escaping in search of his own happiness in the future, he clearly heard the small monologue of executive director Myung-han Kwon.
“I’m really quitting after the contract period with this damn company is over.”
It is the inside of a salaryman with a salary of 60 billion won who thinks the same as himself.

The moment when everyone is waiting for the results of the meeting with nervous hearts.
At the urgently held video conference, all the actual owners of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were having heated discussions… no, one-sided persuasion.
[Keuhmmmm….. Look at this, Minsu-kun. Even so, isn’t the final chapter too premature since it’s been less than three years since the service started? It’s better to seriously think about it again now…]
Chairman Lee Jun-hee of Ajin Electronics, who is in charge of manufacturing equipment such as Dreamer and Lucid Dream.
[That’s right, Minsu. Even in Argos, many dangerous signals related to Arcadia are being detected, and if this happens, large-scale bloodshed such as riots or terrorism may occur. Please consider that point.]
Mikhail, the CEO of Corporation Argos, which bears the burden of information of all users and subscribers and the huge communication network.
[hey! You crazy bastard! If you don’t stop right now, I’ll go to Korea and show you what the most terrible and painful death is. After XXXX and XXXXXX and XXXX…]
Zenika, the head of Silico Bio Industries, is threatening and exuding sincere murder while explaining the bizarre and horrific execution method that is unspeakable.
Representatives of the three companies that have shares in Arcadia Co., Ltd. and those with the deepest interests. They were already the owners of a company that had an indispensable and powerful economic and social influence around the world, but they were reaping huge profits from the business related to virtual reality services. It was something I had to stop.
[Even if Minsu noona thinks, it doesn’t seem like it right now. Can’t you give me a little more… at least 5 years?]
[Yes, Minsu. It’s not like you’re doing this without consulting me, the top developer with an equal share of the name. I think it’s still too much to go into the final chapter.]
And with their help, President Lee Mi-yeon and Jack try to convince Min-soo.
This might bring about the destruction of Arcadia and even end the service… In order to stop Minsu’s finger trying to press the switch of Dooms-day, five people desperately rushed to stop it. .
However, despite their dedicated efforts, Minsu refused their request with a slightly pouty look on his face.
“Sorry, but I don’t think that will work.”
[what….? This is the real thing!]
Jenika gets angry at those words and tries to shout something.
But before Minsu could open her mouth, he quickly interjected and questioned her.
“Regarding Asura… and all the settings for the final chapter of Arcadia, this is obviously what I was talking about from the very beginning of production. And have you forgotten your promise not to interfere in any way in that regard?”
[What the hell is that promise? We insisted at the last minute that we wouldn’t launch the service unless you unilaterally notified us and we didn’t agree.] Just
before launching the service for the first time in North America.
Min-soo demanded consent close to coercion while pushing the bizarre setting of Asura out of the blue.
Jenica shouted at the situation in which she had no choice but to agree to his atrocities (?), but Min-soo responded so brazenly.
“Anyway, you agree. I can’t give up on this final chapter.”
[This is really….. You crazy bastard! Does it make sense to stop playing games that are less than three years old!]
“Ebebeb. I can not hear you. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Minsu blocks his ears to Jenica’s mad cries and says he can’t hear them.
Among those who looked at the two’s insolence with absurd faces, Ajin Electronics’ chairman Lee Jun-hee suddenly opened his mouth.
[Minsu-kun…. Just ask me. Is Arcadia’s service ending what you want?]
“Yes? no? I’m not crazy, why would I want that?”
Everyone looked puzzled as if they were at a loss for words because their words and actions were so confident, but Minsu waved his hands and began to explain with a mischievous face.
“I just made that decision because I judged that the level and capabilities of the users were ripe enough to handle that final scenario. Fall of Arcadia? Why would I want to destroy a world that is growing well? For no reason?”
[Is that so…..]
“Yes. All I want is one thing. The story of adventurers struggling to prevent the huge disaster I prepared and protect the world that is virtual but no different from reality. I just want to see it.”
Minsu speaks with a playful smile as if it would be fun just imagining it. And after confirming that he had no malicious intentions, Chairman Lee Jun-hee sighed deeply and nodded as if he had made up his mind.
[Then I understand. Let’s respect your opinion.]
[Yes….?]
[Ah no, Chairman, what is that…?]
The others look shocked at President Lee Jun-hee’s sudden action. However, he asked them back with a tired face as if resigned.
[Just give up. No matter how much you persuade and try, is there anyone who can stop that daring kid?] The
craziest guy in the world who achieves whatever he wants.
Kim Min Soo.
No one could bear to open his mouth to the question posed by Chairman Lee Jun-hee, who understood his personality better than anyone else. And Minsu, looking at the situation, said with an evil smile.
“As expected… the president knows something?”
[I’m begging you, but… Please don’t escalate the situation, and I want it to end in moderation.]
“Don’t worry. Rather, users will look at this final chapter scenario with more excitement than ever before and will participate with fervent will.”
[What are you talking about again? Who tunes in to your madness?]
Arcadia users are actively campaigning on the Internet not to participate in the scenario. Jenica asked, pinching their threatening atmosphere, but Minsu was not shaken at all.
“Hmm….. People who want to solve the final chapter scenario I am creating and get a 15% stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd.? Maybe all?”
[What…?]
[…..]
Only then did they realize.
What was the purpose of the 15% stake in the final chapter, which was proposed to suspend service indefinitely as retaliation against the Japanese government in the past, and the fact that this situation was not just an ordinary happening.
[Wait a minute. If so, what happens if no one breaks the final chapter?]
A 15% stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd., which is nothing else and has never been released to the market.
In response to Mikhail’s puzzled expression, who knew the meaning of handing it over, Minsu said as if it were natural.
“Then what… the game is ruined by Asura. as it were…. End of service?”
[…..]
“Billions of users gather together and can’t even block the final chapter, so then we’ll have to go bankrupt.”
Kim Min-soo, the craziest guy in the world.
His vicious title was absolutely not a lie.
