Chapter 133 Caribbean (6)
Due to the lawless environment of survival of the fittest, where only the strong survive, Caribbean is overwhelmingly stronger than any other city in terms of average military force. However, even in such a tough city, there was no one who could face Carlos, who had a legendary weapon, and Jae-young, who had borrowed the power of the shadow assassin leader.
“This… this is nonsense!”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..a lie…a lie.”
Chow.
A pirate who collapsed while bleeding when the black cutlass was swung. Carlos, who was already drenched in someone’s blood and stained red, said with his mad eyes shining.
“Hehehehe… Who will go to hell next?”
Dozens… hundreds of elite troops have already lost their lives. The troops led by Sparrow and the elite of Able who arrived late gathered all their strength to resist, but the result was so disastrous that they could not open their eyes to see it.
“Sparrow and Able… both of them die… Such a ridiculous dog-like situation…”
Sparrow and Able, the heads of a huge organization that divided the Caribbean. However, they hurriedly appeared to subdue Carlos, and as if they had been waiting for this moment, Jae-young and Carlos rushed at them.
[Sparrow, the leader of the Black Pirates, has passed away.]
[Able, the leader of the Red Beard, has passed away.]
[A phenomenal achievement. The two leaders of the criminal organization that dominated the Caribbean were punished.]
[The title ‘Crime Punisher’ was obtained.]
“Hmm….. Although these one-sided murders were not right, they deserved the judgment they deserved. .”
El, who did not like the situation of freeing the wicked pirate king and punishing those who oppose him, but muttered as if it was comforting that the opponents were vicious criminals no less than Carlos. After all the elite soldiers, who were called the two personal guards, were killed, the battle naturally fell into a lull as only those who hesitated in fear were filled.
“What are you doing?! No more attacking!”
“…..”
Those who lost their will to fight with frightened faces. Looking at their eyes, Carlos scolded in an angry voice.
“These cowards…! You guys are all cowards! How dare you say that you are a member of the Black Pirates while hesitating and afraid of dying!”
It is safe to say that the current Caribbean was made by himself, Carlos, the pirate king. In fact, it could be said that among those living on this land, there was no one who did not receive his grace, but they all turned away from Carlos.
“What did you do when that cowardly traitor made a mean raid and imprisoned me? Wasn’t he afraid of dying, so he bowed his head and pressed his face to the floor, trembling and begging for mercy? Is that what you guys think of the Black Pirates? You fucking cowards!”
A sparrow lying on the floor, stained with a gray light. Pointing at him with contemptuous eyes, Carlos looked coldly at all those who forsook his grace and silently obeyed Sparrow in search of a way to live.
“In my heart… I want to punish all distrustful cowards like you, but I’ll give you one last chance.”
“…?”
The pirates look at Carlos with strange anticipation at the word of giving them a chance. He took a look around at all the people who surrounded him with frightened faces and said:
“Lay down your weapons and swear to me once more. I will prepare for death and fly the flag of the Black Pirates again and let its status shine throughout the continent. And to give everything for the Caribbean and me, Carlos.”
Carlos, a cruel and heartless criminal, but at the same time ruled the Caribbean for a long time. He was also an outstanding monarch with overwhelming charisma and dominance. So, in fact, he knew very well. Those who were loyal to him, even giving their lives, died in the rebellion several years ago, and if he takes bloody revenge on those who betrayed him now, no one within the Black Pirates will be able to survive.
Therefore, he suppressed the vengeance boiling in his heart with all his might and decided to forgive them all. In exchange for an oath that this will never happen again.
“If you can’t do that… at this moment, give your life and ask for my forgiveness.”
Death or submission?
At the words of Carlos, who presented the two options, they hesitated while looking at each other.
Clink.
And how much time has passed? As if making a firm decision, an unknown pirate dropped the weapon in his hand and knelt down, bowing his head towards Carlos. And starting with that, like dominoes collapsing in succession, the rupture of metal hitting the floor began to reverberate from all directions.
Clink, clang, clang…
Everyone laid down their weapons, knelt down, and formed a circle in an example of obedience and loyalty. At the center of the circle, Carlos was speechless for a long time with an indescribable expression, then spoke with a heavy face.
“From this moment on, the Caribbean is one again.”
His declaration that he will never tolerate power struggles between organizations again. With that, the remnants of the Black Pirates and Red Beard gathered here realized. That the silent war between the various factions that stained the back alleys with blood due to fierce power struggles has come to an end as of now.
“And… we will again fly the Black Pirates’ flag to the whole world, and our lofty will and beliefs.”
Discrimination based on social status Refusing poverty and inequality that can never be escaped, the pirates’ belief that they will change everything with their own hands, free from their natural limitations, and fully cultivated by themselves. He said that he would spread it all over the continent, and Carlos ordered them with his burning eyes shining.
“Use all means to spread rumors outside. Those who want to burn this world full of irrational discrimination and inequality and create a new world of our own where all human beings are equal and equal, tramps, criminals, fugitives, beggars…. No one cares, so come here to the Caribbean and join us in that movement.”
Up until now, the pirates had been divided over control of the Caribbean and were only engaged in exhausting internal quarrels. However, under the strong charisma and leadership of Carlos, they united again and began to unite the huge force. With the determination to set the whole world on fire and create their own peaceful era.
‘I think I did something seriously wrong…?’
A situation where something incredibly dangerous terrorist group has been created. Although Jae-young helped him in his own way, his thoughts were extremely extreme, radical, and violent, no matter how positively Jae-young tried to think. And as if agreeing with Jaeyoung’s thoughts, Tan let out an exclamation of admiration.
“Wow….. The owner is really great. Did you know this was going to happen on purpose and gave it to this human like that?”
Jae-young, who brought out a legendary item with a greater probability than expected, gave it to Carlos without saying anything. He was always calculating and hated getting caught, so Jae-young, who had become a generous tree of giving, was puzzled by Tan’s intentions, but now he understands.
“For those who see potential, they generously invest in probability and push it to the point of overturning the world. Big. After all, the owner’s evil thoughts are so deep and deep that even I can’t understand them?”
Tan took out a black scroll as if he had attained a great realization, and began to write something down, busily scrawling his hand in bloody ink. Looking at him who began to write down something furiously, as if he couldn’t miss a single thing, Jae-young said to Carlos with a face that gave up everything, as if he had no energy to say anything anymore.
“Hey Carlos.”
“Why but my friend?”
Carlos now calls him a close friend and replies with a friendly face. The sight of him grinning bright red as if he had been showered with blood was truly grotesque.
“Everything else is fine… but the promise you made with me comes first.”
“Oh yes. Don’t worry, I won’t forget you.”
Carlos nodded and replied to Jaeyoung’s words. He said, banging his head on the floor, looking around at all those who were pledging allegiance.
“Everyone raise your heads. From now on, I will give you the first task you must do.”
“…?”
His subordinates raise their heads one by one with puzzled expressions at the word of giving them a mission. Carlos ordered them all.
“Ask everyone here all over the Caribbean and go everywhere and find out. I don’t care if any small clues are considered nonsense or mere legends, so find them all and bring them back. Judgment is not made by you, but by me and my best friend.”
“What are you talking about?”
A question posed by someone to his incomprehensible order. To that question, Carlos said with his eyes burning with an unknown desire.
“Things about new continents and routes to them.”
And at that moment, a message appeared in front of Jaeyoung’s eyes.
[All conditions required to activate the main scenario have been met.]
[Main Scenario Act. 3 The New Continent has begun.]
[The linked quest ‘Story of a Forgotten Legend’ has been created.]
[You have been selected as the main player of the main scenario.]
[The flow of the main scenario may change depending on the player’s actions. . Be mindful of play.]
A message telling you to be mindful of play along with the message that the main scenario has started. Seeing this, Jaejoong was convinced. The fact that the process he had gone through to find the new continent so far was not a wrong answer.
“It may take longer than expected to find the necessary clues.”
“Ah… it doesn’t matter. After all, there is no such thing as too urgent. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, so let’s take it slow.”
“Thank you for understanding. So while we wait, stay here and look around in comfort. It looks like a mess, but it has its own charm.”
“So what…..”
The Caribbean, where no one dares to touch him as long as he has the title of Carlos’ best friend. Jaeyoung decided to have a leisurely time there after a long time. Leaving behind those who couldn’t afford it because of that.
* * *
[Main Scenario Act. 3 The New Continent has begun.]
[The linked quest ‘Story in the Forgotten Legend’ has been created.]
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! please!”
“crazy! It’s been less than a week since the main scenario was created, but it’s already started?”
“who is this! What kind of XXXX and XXXXXXXXXXX bastard is going around like this!”
Even when Ellis said that the main scenario had been created, General Manager Kang Tae-hoon was nervous and anxious. He looked at the screaming Crisis Management and Response Team members and sighed, letting out a soulless laugh.
“Fuck…..”
At that moment, General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon was seized with an intense urge to assassinate the user in question and was able to realize it.
Why doesn’t Alice, the artificial intelligence, thoroughly disclose user information by restricting access whenever such a major event occurs?
Director Kang Tae-hoon was able to keenly feel today again why the old ancestors’ wise saying, ‘Not knowing is the medicine’ came out. Episode 134 Real people are imaginative! (1
) The 5th emergency meeting of Arcadia Korea Branch.
The briefing on the current situation taking place in the game, gathering as much information as possible, continued in a tense atmosphere.
“We believe that the main scenario created this time began when the NPC named Carlos, the pirate king, reigned again as the ruler of the Caribbean.”
A special NPC who must be imprisoned. In the emergency meeting held up to the 4th, no one was unaware of the meaning of General Manager Kang Tae-hun’s words during the briefing because he had sufficiently discussed the values he had.
“Car Carlos has taken control of the Caribbean again…? How on earth was that even possible?”
“What about the Black Pirates and the Red Beards? As long as they were there, there would have been no way that Carlos would be able to take control of the Caribbean again…?”
Carlos, who must be stuck in the dungeon and quietly waiting for someone to rescue him. A strange tension lingered in the conference room as this could never happen unless the Black Pirates and the Red Beards, who betrayed him and took control of the Caribbean, collapsed.
“You can’t… you mean that those two organizations have already collapsed… aren’t you?”
A question posed by someone out of anxiety. However, Director Kang Tae-hoon nodded his head with a brutally dark expression.
“That’s right. Five hours ago, we finally confirmed the deaths of the two NPCs, Sparrow and Able of the Red Beard, who ruled the Black Pirates.”
“yes….?”
“Oh.”
“Haa…..”
Desperate sighs and sighs erupted here and there. One of the team leaders in charge of in-game balance looked at the thick reports lying on the desk with a face of disbelief and said.
“Director Kang Tae-Hoon, this is a very presumptuous statement… but isn’t it a situation where we should also consider whether it is a system error or bug? Is this a realistic situation now? According to the data presented here, the prerequisites for Carlos to take control of the Caribbean… are not things that can be met in such a short amount of time?”
Arcadia prides itself on being flawless and free of any errors or bugs. Of course, some flaws occur due to inexperience in planning or loopholes in system design, but such a serious error has never occurred, so the questions he posed were directly against the company to which everyone belonged.
“you’re right. According to the data presented here, the process of Carlos taking control of the Caribbean, which triggered this main scenario, is at least equivalent to the main scenario.”
Carlos, a symbol of the brilliant past.
Finding him through a very tough and tricky process and rescuing him from the enemy’s stronghold. In addition, the whole process of bringing together all the criminals of the Caribbean together with Carlos and destroying the two giant organizations was already designed as one main scenario that requires hundreds of quests.
[Caribbean City of Criminals]
[The Dirty Back Alley Conspiracy]
[The Age of Past Glory Carlos]
[The Fallen Pirate King]
[The Rise of Freedom]
[Hope of the Silent Oppressed]
…Act. 19 The flames of revolution rise.
A result that can only be derived through the 19th main scenario that will heat up all Arcadia users. However, it was not easy for anyone to believe that the results were already produced in just a few days, ignoring all the complicated processes.
“That’s what I think too… but Ellis has already verified the situation several times and has already given an answer that there is no problem.”
A situation where only team leaders and senior executives at the level of department heads or higher exist in the conference room. That’s why Director Kang Tae-hun didn’t hesitate to mention the existence of Alice and continued the explanation, but everyone only made confused faces as if they couldn’t understand.
“If so, could you confirm the details? No matter how you look at it, this doesn’t make any sense in terms of common sense, so I honestly don’t understand if I can move on to saying that there is no problem.”
The staff nodded vigorously as if agreeing with that statement. However, Manager Kang Tae-hoon said as if he was embarrassed by that statement.
“Well… As you all know, you know how difficult it is to read information about Alice. This is especially true for users related to hidden classes or main scenarios.”
I don’t know the exact standard, but Alice’s own system that limits the right to view information by rating it even among the same users. Because of that, I only received relevant information, but I didn’t know anything about the process and how that result came out in detail, so Director Kang Tae-hoon shook his head.
“First of all, it was information that could not be read under the authority of me or Executive Director Kwon Myung-han. No matter how much I asked for it, I couldn’t get anything about the user information related to it because I lacked administrative rights. If there is someone in my company who can check them…”
A desk in the conference room. After a brief glance at the empty seat at the far end of the table, he muttered in a loud voice as if he was talking to himself for everyone to hear.
“Probably only the boss.”
Thus, the 5th emergency meeting ended without any progress. Everyone who attended the meeting went back to their seats with full of worries and concerns in their hearts, completely unaware of the situation that would be triggered by this scenario in the future.
* * *
At that time, the executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. are having a heated meeting and wrapping up their headaches. Jaeyoung, the party to all of these incidents, was staring at Jaekyun with a pathetic expression on his face.
“Kyahahaha. what is that You are so funny.”
“No, is it real? I asked you yesterday…”
Chae-yeon and Tae-soo sit together and laugh and chat, creating a lively atmosphere. Jae-gyun, who was sitting not far from the two and listening to the conversation with his ears perked up, was no different from the image of a stalker.
“Jaegyun-ah, if you’re interested in the story, why don’t you go and mix things up…”
“Eh. Yes? What are you talking about? What are you talking about?”
Jae-gyun, who had been listening like a rabbit until just now, was startled by Jae-young’s sincere advice and put on an innocent face pretending not to know. Seeing that, Jaeyoung waved his hand as if he had said something nonsensical.
“….no. I said something wrong. Just do whatever you want.”
Jae-gyun likes Chae-yeon, but always goes out of his way and can’t speak properly. Just watching him from the sidelines, Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh, feeling stuffy as if he had stuffed 10 sweet potatoes in a row into his mouth.
‘Haa….. That’s like that, isn’t it that you can’t really date at least once?’
Tae-soo and Chae-yeon appear to be no stranger to rumors that they are already dating. However, as if he didn’t give up, Jae-kyun continued to appeal to his existence by hovering around Chae-yeon’s side, as if he didn’t give up, whether he was unaware of it or he was denying the reality even though he knew it.
“Hehe….. Chae Yeon-ah! hi?”
“Have you met again? Have you had lunch?”
“Chae Yeon-ah!”
“Do you have any classes today?”
Jae-kyun, who can’t remember his own class schedule, knows exactly when Chae-yeon’s classes are. Jaeyoung, who seems not to be aware of it, but Jaeyoung, who has been watching his actions closely, deliberately waits for more than 30 minutes for Chaeyeon to finish class, then pretends to have a chance meeting and proposes to have lunch together. la was creepy
“Anyway, you really have to be treated properly before you can come to your senses.”
“huh? Jaeyoung, what did you just say?”
Jae-gyun turns his head to ask if he heard him muttering to himself. In response to his question, Jaeyoung shook his head as if it was nothing and changed the topic.
“Nothing. Rather… how did you go about what I asked you to do?”
“Ah, that…?”
What Jaeyoung asked Jaekyun for. It was to deliver the investment money to the top of the pie and ask the dwarves and elves to speak on behalf of Jaeyoung.
“Hmm… I think it went well. First of all, I brought the gold you gave me, and I’m a bitch… right? I met that friend and went to the dwarf chief together to tell him your story instead, but he said he would do it without saying anything. He also gave me a letter to be sent to the elves.”
Although Jae-young sent a note to Joong-sik, he was very worried that he couldn’t find it in person. However, perhaps thanks to Jae-young and Jae-kyun staying in the dwarf village for a whole month and seeing his face reflected by many dwarves, the dwarves clearly carried out what he wanted even though Jae-young did not go.
“Ah, Apple and Lemon told me to say thank you so much. I thought it was only giving exclusive rights, but I never imagined that it would support such an enormous amount.”
Jae-young, who provided gold worth up to 1 billion won in Hanwha. However, at Jaekyun’s words, Jaeyoung spoke calmly.
“What are you doing with that much? Anyway, if you continue to trade between elves and dwarves, you’ll be able to make a lot of money that makes it ridiculous.”
There is no guild that trades between elves and dwarves. The additional profit that could be gained from trading with the two was beyond imagination, so Jaeyoung did not regret the 10,000 gold he gave them.
‘Anyway, half of the upper management’s stake is mine…..’ Jae-
young thinks that the amount of investment is ridiculously small compared to taking half of the profits the two of them worked hard for without doing anything. That’s why he said with an expression that it was burdensome to Jae-kyun, who was looking at him with envy.
“Why do you keep looking at me like that?”
“No… It’s just really nice to realize that the name Dex isn’t an illusion when I see what you’re doing.”
Jaekyun, who has been a fan of Dex for a long time. Even though he was a fan who liked it alone on the Internet, Jae-kyun was happy that he could meet in person and have a meal together, even in Arcadia.
“Let’s continue to be friends from now on.”
Jaekyun said with a wink in his eyes. At his words, Jaeyoung spoke sincerely with a strange feeling of displeasure that shriveled her whole body.
“…if you don’t say that kind of weird thing again, I’ll think about it.”
“Huh….. I mean it…..”
Jae-kyun looks sad at Jae-young’s words. He was about to say something to him, but when Professor Kim Tae-hoon appeared, Jae-young had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
“There is no need to open the book. Put everything in.”
“…?”
“…?”
Professor Kim Tae-hun tells us to put books first as soon as we enter the classroom. He shouted something loudly into the hallway with a flushed face as if he was excited about something.
“You can come in here. The threshold is a bit high, so be careful.”
While everyone was making curious faces at that, something huge burst out of the door of the fairly large classroom.
“uh….? Is that…?”
“What is that….?”
“Aren’t you Dreamer? Why all of a sudden?”
Two stout men carrying a large, streamlined capsule. Leaving behind them who were busily wandering about, setting up equipment at the front of the classroom, Professor Kim Tae-hoon spoke to the students with puzzled faces.
“After multiple requests, today all of you have been given permission to try out yet undisclosed virtual reality technology. Please understand that the contents of the class were not announced in advance and inevitably changed because it was decided last night. Instead, the assignment we were supposed to submit today will be extended until next week.”
“Oh great.”
“Alas, I haven’t finished all the assignments. It’s sweet.”
The students smiled and murmured with a smile on their faces at those words. Normally, upon hearing that, he would have destroyed the atmosphere in the classroom with a cold face, but Professor Kim Tae-hoon said with a face that didn’t care at all.
“This guy’s name is Lucid Dream.”
As he tapped a capsule-shaped device like a virtual reality connector with one hand, his eyes lit up.
“In today’s class, we will check the limits of your imagination through this device.”
