Chapter 189 Remake (4)
A grand festival for gamers around the world.
Game Festa.
Numerous game companies around the world released new games, showcased various new technologies, and gathered investors for their programs.
“What about this reporter?”
“Yeah. Who is this? No, did Reporter Kim come to cover this game festa?”
“Haha, it’s been almost a year since I came here as an American correspondent.”
“I didn’t know that again. How did you get to the K station and it seems to be doing very well?”
This festival was held in New York, USA. Reporter Kim Man-shik, who met a colleague in the industry after a long time in it, shook hands with a friendly face, and after briefly chatting with reporter Lee Dae-gi, began poking at him with a coy look.
“How… did this reporter get a scoop on something related to this game festa?”
“Is there anything special to say? You can just write an article about things that will be announced tomorrow.”
This reporter is talking nonchalantly. Reporter Kim’s eyes began to narrow as he looked at him.
“Why are you like an amateur? Even this reporter knows very well that you need to obtain information that has not yet been released in advance and write an article first to attract people’s attention.”
And he smiled as if telling him not to pretend he didn’t know.
“And… the festival is tomorrow, but who would believe me if I came from the day before and wandered around this neighborhood and said that? Just looking at it, it looks like it’s wandering here and there to see if there’s any news.”
“…. Was it too obvious?”
Reporter Lee Dae-gi licked his lips at reporter Kim Man-sik’s questioning, then nodded and admitted the fact.
“I’ve looked around a bit… but haven’t found anything in particular yet.”
“okay….?”
“It’s not like M station is doing this because M station wants to report on new games released by other game companies as a scoop… You guys are probably here to cover Arcadia-related information, too, right?”
“Eh… don’t talk. Do you know how much our press chief is teasing reporters? Since a month ago, I was covering undercover around Arcadia Co., Ltd. to find out even a little bit of related information, but I heard that it was really blocked.”
“Well… they are no different from us. That’s why we’re here right now…”
Game Festa, the biggest festival in the game industry.
However, for a broadcasting station that broadcasts all kinds of news every day from all over the country, this festival with a narrow theme of games was not a big topic. Especially if it’s a presentation held in a foreign country, not just Korea. However, this year’s festival was a bit different in character.
[Arcadia Co., Ltd. will not stop as a company that serves Arcadia. We will always run without rest to introduce more advanced virtual reality technology to the public, and to do so, we will challenge and try anything and always move forward as a pioneer in the virtual reality industry.
] Those who declared the expansion of octopus expression in order to widely spread and commercialize it. And Arcadia’s first move surprised everyone.
[We are proud to announce to you that this is the first Miracle Project we are promoting to achieve that goal. I mean Master Hand, an integrated work assistance system for people with disabilities.]
Dreamer, which is used when accessing Arcadia. The virtual space that could be accessed using it was a typical office that can be found in any company.
[It doesn’t matter in this office whether you are blind, deaf, or physically disabled. No braille keyboards, special input devices, or assistants are required. Just like everyone else, you can independently and independently carry out tasks that suit your abilities.]
A space where you can work and learn just like everyone else without any physical limitations. And the appearance of people with disabilities experiencing this firsthand shocked the world.
“I see you! I can’t believe it….. Heuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…..”
“Ah….. Now I can work too…..”
“Thank you very much. Arcadia has given me a new life.”
[In the future, your disability will not hinder your work or learning efficiency. For that reason, companies that avoid hiring these people will also disappear. Children born with congenital disabilities will be able to study just like everyone else through this Master Hand, and when they grow up, they will be able to work the same way someday.] Although physical labor or work is impossible, administrative or clerical
work A system that allows you to demonstrate the same abilities as others at work. The host who revealed this said with a bright smile on his face full of pride and reward.
[I hope that the world we live in will be a little more discriminated against.]
In this way, Arcadia Co., Ltd. caused a huge stir around the world. It proves the enormous potential of virtual reality and gives a new life to those who are always alienated from members of society.
Therefore, the news that Arcadia Co., Ltd. will participate in this Game Festa stimulated all media outlets around the world. What kind of extravagant scoop will it surprise the world with?
“But I don’t think this will be easy. I don’t know if it was intentional, but all the other companies had booths set up and preparations were finished, but Arcadia was completely empty.”
“uh? Have you been inside?”
“Wait a minute… but it seems that the biggest booth has been occupied and not prepared yet, maybe it’s because the information will be exposed, but it looks like they are deliberately preparing for the event.”
Man-sik muttered, unable to hide his dismay at the words of this reporter, who said that it would not be of much use if he kept fighting cancer here.
“What the heck….. But I was wondering if I could get something, ha ha….. I’m going to break it again with the director.”
“How are you? Over there, the big American broadcasting companies are also struggling without getting anything. Is there any other way for us? It’s all information that will be released tomorrow anyway.”
“That’s true, but…”
“Don’t be too mean to death. How about a drink since we haven’t seen each other in a while?”
“…Ehh I don’t know! Yes let’s go.”
“Kuh… I knew that. Where did that Insadong drunkard go?”
Two reporters go drinking together in a faraway place. When reporters from all over the world, like them, are struggling to somehow obtain information in advance with interest. A final inspection was being carried out at the hotel accommodation where Arcadia’s design & development team was staying.
[Quaaang.]
[Nexus destroyed. Red team wins!]
[End the game.]
Chwiiik.
The Nexus explodes with intense blue light with flashy effects. The game ended like that, and the staff came out of the capsule one by one. Looking at them, Jaeyoung asked with bright eyes.
“how is it?”
A question full of hope. In response to that question, the staff looked at each other, and soon a shout like an explosion filled the room.
“Fuck! It’s overaaaaaa!”
“mom! I’m done! uh uh uh I felt like dying!”
“Manager, please give us the vacation you promised when this is over! If you don’t give it to me, I’m really going to break into the boss’s office!”
“Wow… I am finally freed from this hell. fuck! Shivaaaaaa!”
“vacation! bonus! vacation! bonus! Vacationaaaaaa!”
3 weeks.
After Jaeyoung announced that he would remake the game himself. They had to see what real hell is.
“uh? Are you done already? Good for you. Then, from now on, please check the expected problems that may occur in combat situations according to the characters and the balance according to the characteristics. If you’re done, then…”
“Have you not finished yet? Hmmm….. You ate and smoked a cigarette for 15 minutes while chatting with assistant manager Park Joon-shik.
“Ah, it’s impossible because there aren’t enough people? Then, shall I ask the boss to reinforce the manpower? yes? please don’t do that? no why?”
There is no impossible in my dictionary.
do it. make it even if it doesn’t work
Even a writer who is blocked from writing will come out if he squeezes it.
Jae-young, who wielded a devil-like flashy whip that made impossible things possible, to all the design & development team members. His directing, which tightens and loosens employees to the extent that it can be called art, and draws out all hidden energy to the limit and utilizes it, was so skillful that even manager Yang Min-hyuk was shocked and could not keep his mouth shut.
‘It’s a monster… how on earth is this possible…?’
“Quaaaaagh! I really think I’m going to die…”
“I’m not going to die. Do not worry. When I’m done with this, I’ll let you sleep for an hour.”
“Ha, an hour of bedtime! Aaaaaa!”
Truly a scene of inhuman exploitation. It was so harsh that the company would explode if they reported it to the labor office right away, but no one could lie down.
“Now, if this project is successful, the manager promises you a month of paid vacation and a 2000% performance bonus. For these three weeks, let’s live with the mindset of ‘I am a tool’.”
“One month vacation…?”
“2000% incentive pay?”
Those who put their real life into those two things and put everything on the line for this project. And the results were quite satisfactory. The images of those who cheered as if vacation and bonuses were already confirmed and cried that they were finally freed from this hell clearly proved that.
“I… Jaeyoung student?”
“yes?”
Manager Yang Min-hyeok carefully whispers to Jae-young among the cheering employees. At his words, Jaeyoung turned his head and asked.
“That’s… the vacation and performance pay you promised… Actually, since I’ve been watching from the side, I think I deserve it… There’s no precedent for giving it so generously. …..”
Employees who realized the miracle of making the impossible possible under Jae-young, who flashed a whip and bit a huge carrot in their mouths at the same time. But when it came time to give them the carrot, Manager Yang Min-hyeok whispered to Jae-young with worried eyes. However, Jaeyoung smiled at his words as if it was nothing.
“Oh, I told the boss about that in advance, so you don’t have to worry.”
“what….?”
“Um….. I asked for vacation and performance pay while telling the staff that they are working hard. Was it embarrassing to accept so readily? If this was the case, I should have called it a 3000% bonus.”
“…..”
President Lee Mi-yeon, who promises to give an unimaginable amount of performance bonus that she has never received before. However, Arcadia Co., Ltd.’s company policy and direction of personnel regulations were not so generous with additional incentives instead of giving a huge basic salary, so Manager Yang Min-hyuk realized that if he had requested it, he would have heard ‘Are you crazy?’ I knew very well.
“That Jaeyoung student….. by any chance…”
So he asked with a nervous face, just in case.
“What is your relationship with the boss? Could it really be the hidden younger brother as rumored?”
Secret rumors spreading inside the company. I asked if that was true, but Jaeyoung replied with a puzzled face as if what he meant.
“no? Are you just a secret friend?”
