Chapter.1 Oh, happy day! (3)

“Isn’t this… more dangerous than I thought?”
“Is that so…? People’s reaction is very…um…amazing?”
About 10 minutes after I dropped the bombshell in the chat room, the chat room was literally in a frenzy.
==========
– Jokass: Ehera diya~ Let the wind chime ring~
– Roru Drug: Oh my god~ Father! Let’s stop our professor! Oh my gosh!!!! Even the sky is indifferent!!!
– takealook: You need to brace yourself, madam. The professor… seems to have already made up his mind.
– Roru Drug: I raised him by teaching him one by one from the time I came into the chat room thinking he was wearing a poopy diaper and saying, ‘How should I control the output of the shelter’s concealment facility?’ No, professor! Auntie can’t let you go like that!!!
From people who have been watching for a long time,
+ player ‘Whale is Flying’ has entered the chat room.
+ Player ‘朝樂氣多際’ has entered the chat room.
+ Player ….. is…
+ Player … is…
I became curious about the chat room where the number of people suddenly increased, and even new people from other areas joined.
– A whale is flying: What is it here? Why has the number of people in the local chat room suddenly increased so much? Are you doing some kind of festival?
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: No, it’s a funeral.
– takealook: Ah, the proud son of our wasteland! The great revolutionary comrade professor expressed his strong aspirations for conditional concept play around 1302 o’clock today!
– A whale is flying: ???!!!!
– 朝樂氣多際: Woohyooh~! Is there still such a spirited man left?
– Namba Three: Stop, hey. What lies ahead is hell!
– takealook: (Roughly swinging the crown meme)
– Noru Drug: Professor yaaaaaagh!!!!

oh my god.
“How many people is this?”
“Looking at the speed at which the chat is increasing, it must be three times… no, four times the usual?”
On days like today when there’s a sand storm, people can’t go outside, so the community gets a little crowded, but that’s still true. How can so many people gather in just 10 minutes?
As if everyone had nothing to do, there were endless messages saying that someone had entered the chat room.
“What is this….. What should I do?”
“Of course! This mess is because of what the owner said! We should at least stop the traffic! In fact, for us who have to find good conditional play, the increased number of people is good news! Let’s do something quickly!”
“Ah Okay.”
The professor, who had been scratching his head at Corduroy’s suggestion, tapped the connector’s board again.
– professor: Aren’t you guys taking things too far? They say they play games because they need money.
– Speed Wagon: Bullshit
– professor: ?
– Speed Wagon: Do you know what the concept is roughly?
….I thought I knew, but other people don’t, but since this person asked me this, I wondered if I really knew.
– professor: ㅇㅇ. You get paid to play hardcore….. right?
– Speed Wagon: Then have you heard about the effect GG recently announced by Dome has on the player’s mind?
– professor : ?
“Corduro. What does that mean?”
“Um…well? My database only stores information up to before the great disaster, so I’m good at it too…”
“Hey, you useless bastard.”
I left Corduroy, who was whining at my words, and focused on the chat room. I don’t know what Speedwagon does, but he often releases various information in chat rooms like this, and from experience so far, the reliability of the information is very high. After waiting for a while, sighing messages began to appear in the chat room.
– Speed Wagon: Did you see that too? A person who played as a man-eating monster.
You couldn’t have seen it. This is a broadcast that has been on and off the GG Broadcasting platform homepage for a while.
– professor: ㅇㅇ
– Holly: It’s pretty famous, so I went in there once… but I couldn’t see it with my eyes open.
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Why? I thought it was pretty fun.
– Holly: …..
– Namba Three: Wow, the people in this neighborhood are also quite spicy.
– takealook: Please take a look at Gay Bar Shack.
I understand people’s reactions. Even with empty words, it wasn’t just a sight worth seeing for fun. As GG pursues extreme realism, even taboo scenes such as cannibalism were created so that viewers could experience them without a single filter. And that scene was broadcast as is. In my personal opinion… the fact that such a broadcast is in such high demand shows how crazy the world is going?
– professor: Shut up, I’m going to reveal Speedwagon’s information.
.

– Speed Wagon: Traffic control. Anyway, that player died about a month ago.
– professor: Why?
– Speed Wagon: Starve to death.
– takealook : ???
– Jokass: Didn’t he do the concept for over 6 months? I heard you received sponsorship without any trouble.
therefore. GG is receiving a lot of attention from the surviving population around the world. If one of those GG broadcasts was number one for more than a few months, the shillings it received in sponsorship would have been enormous, but did that person starve to death?
– Speed Wagon: To put it simply, I did that shit without stopping for a month during the concept contract period, and strangely, when I went outside and saw grass or ordinary food, I started throwing up. Strangely, whenever I see people passing by, especially children, I get an appetite…
I have an aversion to vegetables and general food, and I feel an appetite for people. It was exactly the same as the characteristics of the character played by the person I saw on the broadcast.
– Highway Nacho Man: Wow
– Noru Drug: No way.
– Speed Wagon: Yes, it’s exactly what you imagine. Unfortunately, the contract was made with a high-ranking official from Underdom, so I couldn’t cancel it, and after a full month, my brain got tired of it, so I continued to play without a contract from then on because I couldn’t resist my cannibalistic desires. In the end, his body rejected the IV fluids and he starved to death.
– Speed Wagon: As you know, the Dome kids are so tech-savvy that they get excited whenever they see anything related to GG. I did some research on this, and it was said that if a player receives strong mental shock or influence within GG, it will have a significant impact on their actual psyche. I don’t know the principle.
– professor: ㅁㅊ
– Speed Wagon: To put it simply, if you lose your mind while playing a game, that’s when the fairy tale begins. But rather than being played calmly, the game is full of data drugs like Berserk Potion and Euphoria. They say that if you don’t play soundly, you will definitely get sick of it. It’s not for nothing that people choose ‘Sturdy Spirit’ as the number one irreplaceable trait.
– Highway Nacho Man: Wow…..
– Holly: For some reason, the reason people who don’t have to worry about account fees don’t play GG…
– Speed Wagon: People in high positions were already aware of it. Because there will be a lot to see and hear.
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Aha! So the whole reason I’m like this is because of the game?
– Noru Drug: Somehow, me too…
– Speed Wagon: You guys are just idiots.
“……”
I was at a loss for words.
“…Hey. Corduroy.”
“Yes master.”
“Let’s beat this up.”
“It’s an extremely wise choice.”
I tried to just say it was a bit of a hardship, but after listening to it, it seemed like it wasn’t really true. what? Changing a person’s mind? Gedroits, what on earth did that old man make? Have you become a dark person after suffering from complaints and malicious comments for two years?
I turned off the community screen without thinking twice.
The ‘Survival through Game Broadcasting’ project has been cancelled. If you’re trying to make a living, isn’t there a reason to do something that 99.9% enjoys?
We must cancel the existing plan and find another way to secure a stable supply of sealing as soon as possible.
In my experience, when I can’t think of something, if I go out and do something, a way will come to mind.
You will earn a penny more if you do simple labor rather than just sit still and think about it.
Now that you have made your decision, it is time to take action.
“Corduro, I’m coming out. How’s the weather now?”
“Hmm… it’s not that good. It’s about a Lv.2 sandstorm… the radiation level isn’t that high.”
“That’s enough to see the way ahead. Find a way to get dinner and shillings while you’re there.”
“Yes! I understand! Take care!”
As I stood in the decompression room listening to the sound of Corduroy sending me off, I naturally sighed. Okay, what is the broadcast on my topic? I have to live by eating dirt.
Pushik –
When the shelter door opened, a now familiar wasteland unfolded before my eyes. If I really thought it wouldn’t work, I was thinking of at least robbing the psycho bastards’ warehouse.
***
Beep-! Beep-!
“Master! Wake up master! Master!!!!”
“Uhm… Shut up Corduroy… I came in at dawn yesterday…”
“If you don’t wake up now, you might never see dawn again, so try waking up!!!! Emergency! Emergency! !!”
“….!”
When I heard the word “emergency,” my eyes opened instantly with a cold sensation. Even though Corduro is a self-learning AI, as long as it is a machine, it follows a program, and according to the settings, the AI does not say the word ’emergency’ unless it is a truly emergency situation.
Slam!
At the same time as I got up, I loaded the shotgun under the pillow, rolled off the bed, and lay down. Main entrance decompression room. clear. No signs of external switchgear operation. That red light… is it an emergency light?
As I saw the faintly blinking emergency lights, I immediately understood the situation. I thought I would worry about it only after a month or two. That emergency light is something that turns on when there is a lack of power in the shelter, such as a power outage. shit. The electricity suddenly went out?
I crawled along the floor with a shotgun in case of any unexpected situation and approached the system panel. There were dirty welding marks left on the part where the handle had been. Oh right. Fuck.
“Corduro. Why has all the stored power already been used up? Even though the main generator broke down, the amount charged before was enough to last a month! Could it be… there was an attack?”
“If there had been an attack, it wouldn’t have been the electricity gone, but the master’s head would have been blown off! There was a bit of a sandstorm last night… and as it happened, the debris that flew in from that storm hit the main generator, which was already struggling! Of course! “All the power stored inside was shorted out!”
The generator. to fragments. You got it right?
My head started pounding as if I had been hit hard in the chin.
“What about the motion detection turret? What are all the shields doing?!”
“The master came back empty-handed last night and told me to set the output to the lowest because the shield and turret were all a waste!”
“Holy shit!!!!!”
I remembered. Yesterday, after working hard all afternoon, I came back in a fuss and said, ‘If I don’t have anything to come in, I’ll have to cut down on what I’m going to go out!’ I told you to turn off all system output and leave only what you need!
Despair fell on the professor’s fatigued face. Even if the sky falls, there is a hole that will emerge, but a person whose lower body is crushed at the time of collapse cannot go out through that hole.
The professor’s heart sank coldly as he felt the faintly blinking emergency lights as if they were his own heartbeat.
“….Hey. Corduroy.”
“Sniff. Yes?”
“That battery. How much capacity is left?”
“It’s roughly enough to last about 3 days at the lowest output.”
“Shields and cloaking cabinets. What if we take down all the turrets and just keep the greenhouse and interface?”
“So… about a week?”
done. One day to find a gasoline seller on the GG exchange. The drone delivery service provided by the exchange guarantees delivery within 5 days within the same area.
Make judgments quickly. Act faster. The professor stood up, exhaling as he had become accustomed to over the past five years of surviving alone.
“Corduro. Turn on the chat room.”
“Master… really?”
“Uh. I wasn’t in a position to go back and forth.”
As I ran out of time, I actually became calmer.
‘Yes, this is a wasteland. I’ve become too relaxed recently.’
A white screen appeared, and the professor, sighing, entered the crowd of community members giggling with excitement.
