Chapter 147 Joseon’s Counterattack (4)
-Shock Arcadia Virtual Reality’s single server official poet.
-Integrated server accommodating billions of users. What is that reality?
-Awesome industry. Data that is absolutely impossible with current technology.
A secret revealed to the world as the official poet of President Lee Mi-yeon. The fact that Arcadia is a world that encompasses the whole world has brought a great shock to the industry as well as to the game as a whole.
-what? That this huge continent was only for Korea?
-Fuck hahahaha. It was a really crazy game. How massive is the scale?
– Somehow, the terrain is completely different from the place that foreign guys play. Wasn’t it the same continent?
– Wow, a new continent! and! Integrated server! Crazy aaaaaaa!!!
-But how do you communicate? Should I use English when I meet them in the game?
The continent they have been playing so far is not the end. And the fact that there is a world full of foreign users who play similarly to them across the continent strongly stimulated the adventure and curiosity of users.
– Was it Caribbean? Can I go to another continent if I go there?
– Wasn’t that an area where only criminals could enter?
– okay? Then kill anyone passing by and enter.
– ??? After all, this place is full of tough kids.
In this way, Korean users on the second continent of Arcadia started flocking to the Caribbean one by one. Don’t ask, leaving behind the low-level users who shed bloody tears as their PK numbers skyrocketed.

When all sorts of commotion is going on in Korea. The Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. was also unable to wake up to the main scenario that suddenly started and became a complete mess.
“what! Why is the main scenario completely reversed all of a sudden!”
A huge epic main scenario that spans an entire continent.
The Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which had been preparing by gradually scattering rice cakes to activate the main scenario, could not hide their embarrassment when a completely unexpected scenario suddenly appeared. And when I checked the details, I was even more shocked.
[Main Scenario Act. 1 Continent Invasion]
A port city of the peaceful Shoen Empire. Thousands of mysterious ships that suddenly appeared there attacked indiscriminately, destroyed everything, plundered, and disappeared. Defend the territory of the Empire from their attacks and defend the glory of the proud Shoen Empire.
[Victory Conditions]
-The death of Carlos, the ruler of the Black Pirates (0/1)
-Destroy 80% of the ships of the Black Pirates (5%/80%)
[Defeat Conditions]
-Destroy 30 port cities along the coast (5/30)
-Destroy the naval base of the Shoen Empire (0/1)
< If the quest fails, some of the Shoen Empire's sovereignty may be lost. >
An unidentified pirate group that I have never heard of called the Black Pirates. An unheard-of harsh phrase written at the end along with a quest to protect the Shouen Empire from them. In response, Kazuki, who is in charge of the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd., heard the report of the related matter and could not hide his embarrassment.
“I’m sure the first main scenario was ‘Secret of the Ancient Ruins’, wasn’t it? You said you were already in the middle of the core quest.”
“That’s right. Apparently, until two days ago, there was no notice from the ‘headquarters’ side.”
Shoto, the general manager of the scenario. When she mentioned “headquarters,” saying that she had confirmed the relevant information, Governor Kazuki nodded his head after noticing that it referred to Alice, an artificial intelligence known only to high-ranking executives even within the branch.
“however….? Obviously, there was no word until a few days ago, so why did you suddenly decide this ridiculous scenario as the main scenario? Have you been provided with information on the subject?”
“That’s it…. Headquarters replied that they could not provide details of the quest.”
“what….?”
Governor Kazuki puts on an absurd expression at Shoto’s words. To his expression, she also responded with a puzzled face.
“I was quite taken aback as it was a situation I had never experienced before. Until just now, I kept asking the head office, but they said it was a matter of restricting access to information…”
Restricting access to information.
Unlike Korea, where people shed bloody tears and howled out loud because they were restricted as if they were eating rice, Arcadia Co., Ltd. Japan branch has never experienced this. As if he did not know how to deal with this unprecedented situation, Governor Kazuki remained silent with his mouth open for a moment with a dazed look on his face.
“Hey… maybe we can find out where this is the main scenario.”
The gaze is directed to one side. It was none other than Yozuku, the head of the marketing team, who stung as if surprised by the sudden rushing eyes.
“What do you mean, Yozuku?”
In response to Governor Kazuki’s question, he hurriedly takes out his smartphone and searches for something. Soon after, I showed him a video and said.
“This video was recently released on Arpendia. Let’s take a look.”
Video played in Korean. Although Kazuki was an outsider in Korean, there was no difficulty in understanding the contents of the video because of the subtitle function.
[Toward another continent with me. It’s not just going with one ship, it’s the Black Pirates, the pride of the Caribbean, and all the ships that can cross the continent, flying the black pirate flag, and crossing the damned ‘Endless Sea’. And at the end of it, we plant the flag of the Black Pirates on a new continent we have never set foot on. Whether it’s the pirates who will be there or the proud pig-like lords. Everyone kneels in front of you and proudly proclaims it.]
A user who appears to be a player. He was whispering sweet words to a large, stern-looking man. Mention a new continent and plant their flag there. [Criminals and pirates who are treated as bugs
and treated as subhumans discovered a new continent that exists beyond the endless sea and took control of it, a feat that no kingdom or empire has ever accomplished.]
At the end, I saw countless ships leaving the end unknown. With the maddening words that they will not come back until they find the new continent.
“What the hell is this?”
Governor Kazuki muttered with his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out after watching the video. He hurriedly grabbed the materials in front of him and began to search for something.
“Victory condition… Carlos, the ruler of the Black Pirates… this! Isn’t it the same as the quest content of the main scenario that has been invoked on our side now!”
The Black Pirates are constantly mentioned in the video. And at the fact that the contents of the quest in the main scenario that was activated this time were also included, Kazuki shouted with a shocked face.
“wait for a sec! This is a video taken by a user playing on the Korean continent right now!”
The Black Pirates mentioned in the Korean continent. When he realized that they were appearing as the first main scenario in the Japanese continent, a hypothesis naturally came to Kazuki’s head. And, as if thinking the same thing, Shoto muttered with a serious face.
“Those who are playing on the Korean continent… have come over to the Japanese continent. To plant their own flag and seize control…?”
It’s not a peaceful exchange, but uninvited guests who came to destroy everything, plunder, and eat the land. The fact that it was an action by a user playing in Korea, not another country, caused a violent stir in the conference room.
“Was it originally possible to cross over to another continent…?”
“No, the information about the single server was completely confidential, right? How already…?”
“Oh my God….. why did you come to our continent?”
Those who frown and sigh deeply at the fact that something very annoying has suddenly happened. Kazuki, who was looking at such subordinates, blushed with anger.
“Let’s sort it out, Shoto.”
“Hey!”
“Listen carefully to what I am saying and correct me if there is anything wrong.”
“Hey!”
At those words, Kazuki took a deep breath in, exhaled, and then asked.
“First of all, the first main scenario we were planning right now. Is it true that the reason why it’s broken and replaced with something else is because of one of the damn bastards in this video?”
“…If you look at the situation, it is.”
At an unexpected moment, the main scenario was interrupted by something other than something prepared. However, it was not that the scenario that was being pursued was completely distorted, but once the main scenario had occurred, it was difficult to enforce the prepared scenario. That’s because the first scenario happened because of the invaders who came to occupy Nawabari.
“And… did this goddamn Josenjing dare to invade the Japanese continent now?”
Joe Sensing.
A word of hate deeply rooted in a deep, deep history of resentment. When Kazuki asked the question, using the word freely, the meeting room suddenly became quiet without even a sound of breathing. As if to prove that he was so mad, Kazuki asked again, stuttering.
“Answer me, is my judgment wrong now?”
Shoto pondered for a long time at his question, which urged him to answer again, and then said as if giving up.
“…I believe that the branch manager’s judgment was not wrong. If the group appearing in the video you just saw is the one that appears on the Azumi coast right now… This explains why the content of the video and the theme of this scenario are the same.”
[Act. Invasion of the 1st continent.]
Those who openly said that they would plant their flags in the Shoen Empire and in the 3rd continent, which is in charge of the Arcadia Japan branch. At the mad remarks of an NPC named Carlos and a user named Dex who encouraged him, Kazuki gnashed his teeth so hard that he was worried that his teeth might break.
puddeudeuk.
“The name of the channel on which the video was uploaded…. A daily life of a destroyer? And the user’s nickname is Dex?”
Kazuki muttered to himself for a long time with his eyes closed as if he was contemplating a future response plan in his head. He said, throwing the smartphone in his hand back to the original owner.
“Yozuku.”
“Hey!”
“Call the Korean branch right now, check the related matters, and strongly protest against the triggering of the main scenario. We also ask that the Korean branch provide us with all the information it knows about this Dex user.”
“Hey!”
And Kazuki’s orders didn’t end there.
“The balance team and operation team should closely look at the company’s bylaws and operating policies, check and report all sanctions and countermeasures that can be taken against users who have caused such large-scale damage. Whether it’s a way to give us an advantage or a way to weaken the Black Pirates, I won’t care.”
“Hey!”
Kazuki gnashing his teeth and ordering with cold eyes, as if he would not hesitate to even withdraw the permanent ban for rogue users. And he looked at Shoto and said.
“Request the head office again about this scenario. I will take all possible measures to nullify the current scenario, so please restore the scenario that was being promoted in the Japanese continent.”
“All right. We will proceed immediately.”
After giving each one a job to do, Kazuki blazed up his will fiercely, as if he couldn’t dare to give in to Josenjing’s aggression that threatened the Japanese Empire just because it was a game, and told them all again.
“Be alert, this is an invasion by the Josenjing. I won’t leave you alone if you’re pushed behind by them.”
