Chapter 21 Developers are people too! person! (2)
Arcadia’s official community site, Arfandia.
This week’s topical video that heated up this site with a lot of information and strategies was none other than Jaeyoung’s video.
[You can do it too! Making money with Arcadia!]
It’s so stimulating that anyone will inadvertently click the mouse saying ‘I can’t stand this…..’. In addition, the content itself was quite unconventional, so people’s opinions were rampant in the comment section.
-Mineering won’t be that efficient…..
-Hey, didn’t I say it’s much better to buy and use rather than mine in the old strategy video?
-ㅇㅇ That’s right. It is better to spend the time to raise the crafting skill rank while mining iron ore.
Live experiences from people who have been mining before. Thanks to the strategy video of a user who was already gaining fame as a blacksmith, public perception that mining was not good spread widely. However, after watching Jaeyoung’s video, a small wind of change arose in public opinion.
– But maybe that’s possible? Iron ore prices have risen recently. almost doubled.
-hit. It’s really hard to find iron ore these days. So I’m thinking of getting it myself.
– Watch the video. Even if it’s not good in the beginning, it’s different after raising the skill rank to A!
-and. 180,000 won a day? So how much is that in one month?
-I know? Would that be better than running?
-I told you to play a game, so you’re thinking of playing in the game.
A situation where the smell of money wafts like bait. Not all of them, but quite a few people started tapping on the calculator, and as a result, they started walking towards the mine in Pagon Mountain with pickaxes in their hands. Since it was the beginning of the game where gold was not released much anyway, there were more people than expected who wanted to collect basic capital.
“I did the math, and according to what I saw in the video, it’s 5.4 million won for just one month?”
“No, will that be? If that’s true, I’ll get rid of all the office workers.”
“Ah, trust me just once and follow me. Anyway, you just started, so you don’t have any money.”
Two novice users, probably from watching the video, were trudging toward the mine carrying pickaxes one by one. However, two guards sent by Baron Mikhail stopped them at the entrance to the mine.
“stop! Stop!”
“…Why are you like that?”
Two people standing with dumbfounded expressions, not knowing why. The guard looked meticulously up and down the two of them and asked.
“It’s an unfamiliar face… Did you come here to mine ore?”
“Yes, what about it?”
“You have to pay a mine fee to mine ore here! Do you have your registration card?”
“yes? Is there such a thing?”
A fact never heard of. When the startled two looked at each other in bewilderment, the guard gave them a face-off as if it were natural.
“It’s a mine in Baron Mikhail’s estate, and the lord himself developed it, so it makes sense to use it for free! Those who do not work, do not eat! Did you guys contribute anything to the development of this mine?”
“That’s…”
“If you don’t have it, of course you have to pay!”
The guard’s words were not wrong, so the two nodded in agreement.
“So how much is the mine fee?”
“The usage fee is 30 gold per month.”
“yes? 30 gold?”
Surprised, the two asked in a loud voice without realizing it. 30 gold per month. In other words, he had to pay a usage fee of 1 gold per day, and considering the current gold market price, it was 100,000 won.
“It’s paid in advance, and we charge admission on a monthly basis.”
“No, that’s kind of…”
“Ah, I just told you not to do it because of this!”
60 gold was too expensive for two beginners to bet. However, since they had already bought a pickaxe with the money they had in hand, the two were in a situation where they couldn’t do anything.
“Why but? But what if you don’t have the money to pay the usage fee?”
“Ah… yes… we’re here to make money too, so
a lot of money…” The novice user frowned at the guard’s question as if he had noticed it. Then the guard nodded as if he knew.
“yes. It’s all about pocket money. Just by looking at their appearance, it looks like they are in trouble… Or how about waiving the usage fee?”
“yes? Is there such a thing?”
An entrance fee of 30 gold. When the two people, who were wide-eyed at the story that the price was waived, asked, the guard pointed to a booth-like place on the other side.
“Go over there and ask for advice. He will tell you about it over there.”
A place a little far from where the guards are standing. There, with comfortable chairs and drinks, a pretty woman was waving to the two of them with a seductive smile.
“Wow…”
Her beauty is so beautiful that you can’t help but admire it just by looking at it. Fascinated by her beauty, the two moved toward the booth without realizing it. Without knowing that they are entering a deep swamp from which they will never come out.

[Daily mining amount reached 100000.]
[You have solved the quest ‘The lord’s troubles’.]
[Go to the lord and receive the quest-related reward.]
“Huh? You’ve broken the quest.”
Jaeyoung mumbled at the sudden alarm sound, and Tan glanced at him as if he was a weirdo and said,
“what?”
“No, nothing.”
Inside Pagon Mountain. Jae-young, who was committing destruction with Tan in the depths, was able to acquire a mysterious necklace in the end in a cruel process that was difficult to open his eyes.
[You have acquired the ‘Glorious Celestial Medal’.]
[Sacred energy reacts to the player.]
Uuuuu-
The necklace you are holding in your hand suddenly resonates and emits tremendous energy.
“Queueek! what!”
clear and divine aura. As the energy spreads around, Tan screams and emits smoke from his body as if he were a vampire who saw sunlight. And that divine energy was fiercely absorbed into Jaeyoung’s body. No, it was absorbed.
[warning. The player’s job is not a holy class.]
[Fatal contradiction occurred.]
[Emergency action. The item is temporarily disabled.]
[Please contact the customer center for related matters.]
“What is it…?”
“Suddenly what! I almost lost my mind!”
The divine aura that filled the inside was captured again in the necklace and returned to its original state as if it had never been. Leaving behind Tan, who collapsed on the floor panting as if he had been quite hit, Jaeyoung checked the necklace in his inventory. However, unlike other items, this was written on the necklace displayed in gray color.
[Glorious Celestial Medal]
– The item has been temporarily disabled due to a fatal error.
– Please understand that we will check the matter with the highest priority and take action.
Just looking at it, it looks like something is messed up. It seems that I never expected that even the game company would acquire items in this way. Thinking that he might be thinking about what to do after checking this situation, Jaeyoung stood up.
“master….? What are you doing….?”
Tan, who was panting as if he was recovering from the blow he suffered earlier, looked at Jaeyoung, who was fixing the unique pickaxe in his hand again, and asked with strange eyes.
“What are you doing? Of course you have to do what you have to do.”
“matter of course?”
“You don’t know what we did here right now?”
Beyond simple robbery of ruins, it was not enough to completely destroy the sarcophagus of an unknown important figure, to steal the remains of the corpse and even damage the corpse. It is a situation where he committed countless crimes that would not be enough even if he was treated as human garbage.
“Maybe if we find out what we did here, you won’t know, but my life will be pretty twisted.”
“Well… well, even from my point of view, it’s a bit like that.”
Tan speaks in a way that makes you feel something like ‘even though I’m a devil, I don’t think I’m as trashy as you…’. In response to Tan’s reaction, Jaeyoung spoke in a firm tone.
“That’s why the existence of this place must remain a secret, as it was before. So…”
“So…?”
Kwajik.
With a dull sound, the pickaxe smashed one side of the wall with ancient words written on it. As if it never existed. The archeological heritage, which may have astronomical value, was shattered and shattered with a single gesture of his hand.
“We have to destroy the evidence.”
Kwajik Kwajik Woodduck Puck-
Unlike before, the swing was unstoppable in the hand. Looking at the altar disappearing without a trace at that swing, Tan put on an indescribable expression.
“Wow…”
Thinking that he had met the most devilish human he had ever met, Tan took out a gloomy piece of paper from somewhere and started writing something down.
“There really is a lot to learn from humans…” It
was Satan who had learned a thing today as to what true evil deeds should be taught to the budding demons when they go back later.

Virtual Reality Arcadia.
There were many suspicions about who created this ridiculous virtual reality, but surprisingly, it was only one person who made this world.
jack.
Paralyzed from a congenital brain defect, he was able to communicate with the world thanks to a large-scale project called Phalaenopsis Dream by Silico, the world’s largest bio company. And a world he gave her as a gift with a heartfelt confession to his lover and the head of Silicorp, Zenica.
[This world I created… started with your story. To me, who can’t see, feel, or taste anything on my own… Your story was the beginning and end of my world.] [I
want to be with you in this world sometime, Jenika.]
That world was Arcadia.
Since then, Jack, the creator of Arcadia, has always enjoyed watching the stories that each person creates in this huge world created by his imagination.
[Manager.]
“Huh? Alice? What’s going on?”
Alice, an artificial intelligence that implements the game system by assisting herself. It was unusual for her, who manages and assists users who access her world, to talk to her, so Jack reacted unexpectedly.
[A fatal contradiction has occurred and an issue requiring adjustment has occurred.]
“Fatal contradiction?”
Detailed data unfolds before Jack’s eyes. As he looked through the data carefully, he grinned and muttered as if he was having fun.
“Hmm…. Did that guy’s settings and mine overlap?”
Bard of Anarchy.
A job that was planned and created by the guy who always cursed at Zenica as a damn bitch. As if he was playing crazy as planned, he was already touching one of Arcadia’s main streams, which Jack had prepared himself.
“It would be difficult if the former item of the hidden class ‘Holy Prophet’ falls into his hands…” It’s a
distant future, but the 2nd Holy Magic War will happen someday. In that war, the job that would be the main character of the holy faction was blown away.
“Under normal circumstances, I would have just erased the previous job…”
In the first place, if the preceding quest was not held by a divine-type job holder, it could not be received, and even if it wasn’t, he would have just deleted the previous job and processed the forced job change, but he couldn’t even touch himself. It was a difficult situation for Jack as he was the only holder of the job.
[What should I do?]
“Hmm…”
Alice solves most of the problems on her own. It may have been brought here because it was such a difficult matter, but it was something Jack needed to think about for a while. But as if something good came to mind, Jack smiled and muttered.
“For now, let’s put the job change itself on hold and change the item characteristics.”
[Ability?] As
Jack waved his hand, a window appeared that showed the item’s stats, and the contents quickly began to change.
“I’m going to need some balance.”
Jae-young’s play, which is gradually degrading while working with Satan. Jack seemed to desperately need someone to put the brakes on him.
