Chapter 123 Tyranny of Big Business (3)
A shield made of divine power. And Dex stands proudly in front of him wearing pure white armor, holding a huge hammer that looks terrifyingly brutal just looking at it.
When Dex, who had borrowed the power of Verheimer, appeared in front of the thieves with an evil smile, they were quite taken aback by the sudden appearance of a strong man.
‘What is it? I’m sure I even checked the character’s name…?’
He used to look clumsy with the nickname Kaiser. But now, wearing pure white armor and holding a huge hammer that looked so terrifying, he looked powerful enough to feel intimidating just by looking at it.
“How do you do this, Captain?”
When he, who was supposed to give instructions, stayed still without saying anything, the subordinate asked a puzzled question. He closed his eyes as he saw Dex approaching slowly, brandishing a hammer menacingly as if he had no intention of getting bitten by something that had never happened.
“All attack! It’s just that kid anyway! Don’t be vigilant and kill it at once. Pour it all out!”
Aside from Jae-young, the upper ranks do not have any combat personnel to speak of. That’s why he shouted to pour all his firepower into Jaeyoung. And starting with his words, numerous attack skills began to pour into Jaeyoung.
“Fire Burst!”
“Steel Slash!”
“Rapid decline! A step behind! Endless chaos!”
“Pierce the heart. Precision sniping! A prudent room!”
Beginning with curse magic to inflict debuffs, many attribute attack magic that flies. In addition, fierce arrows aiming for vital points and huge greatsword attacks. Skills boasting spectacular effects and powerful attack power began pouring out in an instant, but Jaeyoung was not at all embarrassed.
Whoops.
[The shield of divinity switches to defense mode.]
[The unyielding will overcomes a lot of damage.]
[The faith of justice resists the curse that strangles the body.]
[The magic resistance of Fama’s body reaches its maximum. .]
An attack that dozens of users pulled out with all their might. It was a powerful attack that even Dex couldn’t dare to escape, but what he called was none other than Verheimer, a crusader specializing in defense.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.
Numerous skill attacks hit the divine shield, which was created by maximizing divine power, and a tremendous roar and shockwave erupted, but after the momentary sand dust settled, they shouted with a shocked face.
“This crazy…!”
“Does this make sense? You poured it out like that, but you said you blocked it?”
“How much defense is that? Even after being hit by it, how did you not heal and stay fine like that!”
A health bar displayed overhead. When they saw his stamina, which seemed to have not been cut even 20%, let alone half, they were shocked and Jaeyoung said with an obvious look.
“Didn’t you know that originally the Paladin and Crusader classes were specialized in defense? If I wanted to kill him in one shot, I should have brought 100 people and killed them one by one.”
“That’s what I’m talking about right now…”
No matter how much a paladin class, it is common sense that it is impossible to survive even after receiving so many attacks at once. Even more so if he poured only powerful skills with all his might without sparing mana. However, before the employee could even open his mouth, his eyes widened as he saw Jaeyoung’s rapidly increasing stamina.
[Unstoppable Heart is activated.]
[Health regeneration rate is greatly increased.]
[Divine Hymn is activated.]
[Rapid Heal is activated.]
Jae-Young, who has just exhausted his attacks, seems to be maxed out again. ‘s health bar. Those who were watching it with their own two eyes shouted with despair.
“What the fuck! What the hell is the difference in level, such a ridiculous situation…!”
“I can’t beat this. Run away right now…”
Those who were swearing here and there and wandered around. And the employee at GM who had been dragging them gulped at Jaeyoung, who was walking slowly, looking at him clearly.
‘Why the hell did this happen…?’
Prior to the start, the task was expected to be simple, inflicting irreparable damage to the competitor Pi. But now, an absurdly powerful person intervened and everything went awry.
“Now… I think your turn is roughly over at this point, but now it’s my turn, right?”
[The flames of the blazing dawn are activated.]
Rurrrr.
A pure white torch began to burn on that huge and vicious hammer. Contrary to its appearance, Jae-young fixed the hammer, which exudes a sacred energy to the point of irony, and said with an evil smile.
“The hammer is out, you bastards.”
* * *
[You have wiped out the mysterious gang of bandits!]
[PK penalty for self-defense judgment is not applied.]
[Skill skill ended.]
[Probability 9231 consumed.]
The bandits were annihilated in an instant with overwhelming power. Jaeyoung. He looked at El, who was tearing away the odds, with surprised eyes as if he were surprised and asked.
“uh? What is it that you only rip off?”
“…How much probability did you think it would take? In exchange for dealing with such small puppets?”
Compared to the tens of thousands of scorpions when dealing with level 160 scorpions, it was a very rewarding charge. However, as if he noticed Jaeyoung’s thoughts, L said with a strangely satisfied smile.
“I did put a little discount on it, though. Because I, as an archangel, can’t stand by and watch it while doing the noble work of judging such wicked people and saving the weak.”
When Jaeyoung was making an expression of surprise at those words, someone suddenly started talking to him.
“Hey…”
Apple and Lemon stood behind Jaeyoung with complex expressions on their faces. The two bowed at the same time as if they had made a promise.
“Thank you very much. If it wasn’t for the customer, I would have suffered a lot of damage.”
Pie top run by two newlyweds. He didn’t know exactly why these two were merchants in the game, but Jaeyoung lowered his head and looked at the two as they were giving thanks, and quickly tapped the calculator in his head.
‘Anyway, I needed someone to come and go between the Dwarves and the Elves on a regular basis…’
A peace agreement between the Dwarves and the Elves. As a result, merchants were needed to move the necessary items between these two races, so sooner or later merchants who would receive related quests from them would appear, but Jae-young was convinced by the GM’s power struggle. It meant that the one who would benefit greatly from the harmony between elves and dwarves would be none other than GM.
‘I can’t let it go like that…..’
Jae-young, who had been thinking about giving a damn about GM’s upper management company even if it wasn’t for this time. So he decided. To properly grow this clumsy and crude trade union, and periodically use the sprouts as a means to eat.
“You said apples and lemons, right?”
That’s why Jaeyoung looked as friendly as possible and said with a friendly smile.
“Shall we finish talking about what we were talking about earlier?”
* * *
Newlyweds Apple and Lemon. These two were taking this game much more seriously than Jaeyoung thought.
“Me and Lemon were actually co-workers. It wasn’t a place where the salary was that high, but it was enough for the two of us to live happily. Until the company goes bankrupt…”
A typical story of a bankrupt small business where the CEO is arrested overnight for embezzlement and angry investors rush in and grab him by the throat and thrash him in the office. Apple and Lemon, who became the parties to such a story, lost their jobs overnight and became unemployed.
“So… I was feeling helpless because I suddenly became unemployed, but this game was released.”
Humanity’s first virtual reality Arcadia.
Unlike other general games, a world of unprecedented scale that perfectly embodies the five senses like reality. Apple and Lemon, who came across Arcadia by chance and saw great potential in this new market, started their own businesses here as fate would have it.
“I was fired from my job and decided to become a dark gamer…?”
Jaekyun looks at Apple and Lemon with strange eyes as if he doesn’t understand at all. At his question, Lemon shouted in protest.
“At first glance, it sounds like something strange, but my brother and I started this business after considering it very seriously! It’s not just a random shout or something!”
It was a choice that people with common sense could not easily try to play Arcadia as a couple to make money while purchasing the expensive connection capsule and paying the expensive monthly fee. However, Jaeyoung smiled as if he liked the two of them.
“That means… this is a job for you two and a real business?”
“Yes. It may sound funny to others, but this is real business for us!”
“Then it’s only natural that you’re connected to Arcadia all day, right? Well, without having to go to work the next day or being unable to log in due to a dinner party.”
“That…isn’t it?”
Apple answers Jaeyoung’s question with a frown, as if feeling something strange. Jaeyoung nodded at his answer and said with a satisfied face.
“It’s good. Then I invest in this top.”
“Investment? I’ve been wanting to ask you for a while, but what kind of investment are you talking about…”
“Trade with the dwarves. And I will give you the right to monopolize the trade routes with the elves.”
“yes….?”
“Oh and GM top? I’ll even stop them from doing weird tricks. For that, you need to borrow some strength from the outside, so you have to send me some play videos later.”
Apple and Lemon opened their mouths in a daze as if they were distracted by Jae-young’s sudden talk of unimaginable conditions. They shook their heads violently at Jaeyoung’s words and asked again with disbelief faces.
“Wait a minute. What do you mean? Monopolizing the trade routes between dwarves and elves…?”
“It is literally. Items that elves and dwarves trade with each other will be transported and sold by the Pie Merchant exclusively on behalf of them.”
Starting with by-products from the World Tree, rare minerals and materials that have not yet been revealed to users, and the rare and powerful items produced by these two races, it was clear that the added value that would be created would be enormous. .
gulp.
Apple swallows saliva with an astonished face as if he had intuitively sensed it. He hurriedly asked with a more serious face than ever before.
“But the GM corps would never stand by and watch such a situation…. It is impossible with the power of a small corps like us.”
“Oh, don’t worry about that part.”
“yes?”
“From now on, the elves and dwarves will not do business with the GM corps or any corps related to it in the slightest.”
“…..”
Apple shut up at Jaeyoung’s words. No matter how you think about it, it’s a very unrealistic story. But since he said it so confidently, he couldn’t contain his curiosity.
“Why?”
“What?”
“To be honest, it makes no sense. Why on earth would elves and dwarves give such a huge monopoly to a corner store like ours and throw away the most vicious from a competitor’s point of view, but the most trustworthy from a customer’s point of view?”
Unless you get shot in the head, what kind of crazy customer would choose an unheard of company with a bad track record rather than a big company? According to Apple’s common sense, it was only natural and natural for GM’s business group to dominate the trade routes between the dwarves and elves.
“Why would they?”
However, Jae-young broke his obvious truth with a face that said it was so natural.
“Because I say so.”
