Chapter 204 How Can You Sell This? (3)
There are countless things that differentiate Arcadia from other games, but among them, the economy-related system was unusually unique.
contract system.
If you purchase a blank paper scroll that can be easily purchased at any village general store, write the details on it, and conclude a contract with an agreement between the two parties, you will be bound under the assistance of the system. Several system developers who saw these systems for the first time were horrified.
[What kind of technology is this?]
[Crazy….. Not a contract within a set script, but freely writing out the details?]
From concluding contracts for basic commodity trading or transportation, service contracts such as mercenaries or research services, or various Even national treaties with intricately intertwined conditions. People were amazed at the fact that it was possible to form a contract with conditions on everything regardless of the category, and could not hide their curiosity about how that was possible.
[With the Smart Contract technology developed by Arcadia, we have a vast amount of data by collecting basic contracts around the world on our own. Through this, we are trying to ensure that users can experience the most similar to real life no matter what kind of contract they establish in the game.] An official from
Arcadia Co., Ltd. explains the structure related to the contract system. As he explained to these curious people, he warned them in a strong tone.
[Therefore, once again, I emphasize that you should be careful if you sign a contract in the game. Even though the contracts made therein are in the game, they are real contracts that are binding only therein
.
However, other than this, there were many shockingly surprising parts, so the contents related to the contract system were quickly buried. That is, until ‘that incident’ happened.
“Ha ha ha ha. Work, my slaves.”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I can’t do any more!”
“What the fuck! They are working hard outside, but do I have to do this work inside as well!”
“Quaaaaaa! You damn vile lord!”
Baron Mikhail, the demon of capitalism, who used this contract system to snatch sloppy users. By mass-producing thousands of victims, making them quit the game, and exploiting newbies to the very least a drop of their marrow, he taught people a great lesson.
“wait a minute. Please read the terms and conditions.”
“yes? Customer, there is nothing special about that…”
“Will you take responsibility if there is a problem after just agreeing?”
“…..”
The lesson is that you should carefully read all of the long and vast terms and conditions whenever you sign up for a mobile phone or a site. Still, there was one positive thing brought about by Baron Mikhail’s situation. The point is that the contract system is known to people and has begun to be used very actively.
“Did you break the contract? Poop quickly in the town square.”
“no! What kind of violations are you putting this in!”
“That is my heart. You should have read the contract correctly.”
“no! It’s a game, but how do you poop!”
“I don’t know. Take care of yourself.”
Strange (?) contracts were rampant, but there was also an upper section that grew by making huge profits by utilizing investment techniques and contracts that are only used in modern economics. Same with GM.
“Lord of the Four Tops!”
“You are back!”
“Are you here!”
When he reconnected for the first time in several months, the NPCs greeted him with friendly faces. However, despite their welcome greetings, Jagyu spoke in an annoyed tone about what he didn’t like so much.
“How on earth did you do your work, so the size of the upper ranks shrank so much?”
Obviously, even when he last accessed, the total asset value at the top was on the verge of 8 million. However, he couldn’t believe his eyes when he checked the condition of the top.
[Total assets: 4235212 gold]
4 million gold. He knew through repeated reports that the value of the upper ranks had fallen to almost half, but he couldn’t help but feel his head running hot as he saw the situation with his own eyes.
“The excessive expansion for the trade with the dwarves increased the loss. In particular, the losses suffered by those scorpion terrorists were the most serious.”
The top of GM, which almost broke the 3 million mark when the asset value fell the most. Everyone, starting with Jegyu’s attendant secretary, ran around panting as if they were on fire, but Jegyu’s anger, whether he knew it or not, showed no signs of abating.
“It’s not because you guys can’t do your job properly! The hell I can’t do anything right without me. Aren’t you ashamed to be paid a mediocre salary while doing this? uh?”
Jaegyu started pouring out remarks full of contempt for a long time. After venting all kinds of anger, he asked the assistant secretary.
“So… where is the top of that damn pie now?”
“They say they are currently moving to the dwarves’ territory.”
The intelligence that they are moving from Amil to Shurim. Hearing this, Jegyu muttered coldly as he opened his eyes full of life.
“Dwarves… they seem to be sucking up all the profits we should have had.”
“Because the most profit comes from trade between elves and dwarves.”
The fundamental reason why the top of the pie was able to grow so dazzlingly. It was because of all the rare items that everyone wanted from the trade between the elves and the dwarves.
[Hey, Viscount Hiel. Have you tried drinking tea brewed with world tree leaves?]
[Ah, this time I bought a small amount through the top of the pie and tasted it.]
[Ohhh! did you buy it? That’s great. They said that the order was delayed, so even if you apply now, you have to wait for several months.]
[Haha….. So I did a lot of work to get it.]
[Frequently…? Ah, did you mean that the trading guild of the Territory was changed this time?]
[The price is similar to that of the existing guild and they provide leaves of the world tree periodically, so there is no reason not to change it, right?] [
Hahaha. okay! That’s right!]
Items full of rarity that will satisfy the vanity of nobles. If you gently shake these things as bait, high-ranking nobles, who are usually hard to see even once, rushed at you, asking to meet you. And countless customers at the top of GM who were taken away like that. No matter how hard they tried to look good, GM’s top team couldn’t see it well, and they were literally the top of the pie.
“But something is a little strange.”
“what?”
“According to the spy at the top of the pie we planted… the top is moving completely differently than before. They avoid all the cities they stop by on their way up and are only moving in the least crowded direction… No, they just don’t enter the village itself.”
The top of the pie is being moved to a place that people don’t frequent. A question mark appeared on Jegyu’s face at their actions, which a merchant going up would never do.
“Why are they doing this all of a sudden? Anything related to that?”
“Once the spy we planted is the lowest point within the top of the pie, there is no exact information. Now, I think I learned about this while I was in charge of supporting the upper ranks… It seems that something extremely important is being moved.”
“what….? important stuff?”
“Otherwise, we wouldn’t move so stealthily by stopping by the village to recover from fatigue and getting supplies in a secluded outskirts.”
Jegyu and his assistant who have been working as merchants all along while playing Arcadia.
Since they knew all the details and the process of leading the guild to go up, you could tell just by hearing how suspicious the actions of the pie corps were.
“Supplements… you didn’t stop by the village and ask someone else to get them…?”
“yes. That’s for sure. It is said that what the spy is doing at the top of the pie right now is preparing the supplies.”
“…..”
I don’t know the exact reason, but the top of the pie is moving more stealthily than ever. When he heard that he was avoiding towns and cities, receiving only necessary items, and not exposing his whereabouts, Jegyu thought a lot inwardly.
‘Hit this…? Don’t you?’
to attack other guilds.
As a person in the same industry, it was a situation that should never be done and was considered taboo.
Especially in the case of the top of the pie with a criminal record.
“Boss, how about watching for a while? I don’t know exactly what that item is, but if I create another big controversy on the first day of my return, the president will feel uncomfortable again.”
It is obvious that even at the top of the pie, they will upload related videos, create huge issues, and respond by highlighting the image of GM as a bad company. That’s why I didn’t want to create a more dangerous controversy than now, so the assistant secretary wanted to be a little cautious, but it wasn’t a regulation.
“No, at times like this, we need to be more aggressive.”
“yes….?”
Jae-gyu has been born as the youngest member of a conglomerate family since he was born.
As a member of the Royal Family and living in a position superior to anyone else, he could not stand still and watch as the vulgar merchant robbed him of his pie and grew up.
“Didn’t you say you were moving covertly? Then, the number of people will be minimized, so even if you hire mercenaries, it will be all you need to prepare a few strong people. I don’t know if they used users or NPCs, but for now, gather all the troops as soon as you can afford money.”
“Do young master! If that’s the case…”
The secretary’s face turned pale at Jegyu’s decision to start an all-out war. However, he objected to the decision and opened his mouth to persuade him, but Jaegyu cut off his words before he could speak.
“Did I make it clear? This is war.”
war of money.
Merchants who use all sorts of conspiracies and despicable means to steal the other party’s business and inflate their tax by forgetting their funds metallurgy and metallurgy. As other large merchants have grown, this harsh wild jungle and battlefield that grows at the expense of others was the world of merchants, so Jaegyu had no qualms.
“Did we try to make the most of our profits because of the power struggle? that’s right. It did. If it’s a merchant seeking profit, it’s natural, and there’s no need to know about the circumstances of the other upper ranks. But unlike other tops where you lie down and pick up crumbs, what did you do with the top of the pie? hit us I mean really fucked up.”
A third party called Dex intervened, but basically, in the video, it was the Pie Merchant who caused enormous damage by revealing that the GM Merchant was a vicious merchant, so Jaegyu’s grudge against them was immeasurably deep.
“So we have to do it right. I don’t know what that important item is, but it would be a big blow if it was stolen during transport, right?”
“That’s true, but…”
When the assistant secretary hesitated with a puzzled face on what to do with this. Jegyu said coldly with a strange smile on his face filled with madness.
“Then prepare. From now on, we will go to full-scale war.”
