Chapter 380 Ruinous Riches (2)
The day when the madness of joy that started with the price of gold turned into a great fear.
The fear grew out of control and hit the whole world.
“This… does this make sense? -40% as soon as the market opens!”
People who were anxiously waiting for the opening of Arcadia’s auction house, where all transactions were stopped for an update for 12 hours, were astonished to see the blue black candle sticking to the floor as soon as it started.
-Is this perhaps a system error?
– No, just insert it and the money will be copied! Why is my money being deleted?
-Can’t I get a refund for this? really? It’s a chartered fund, so if you lose it, it’ll be really big…
-No, are you fucking kidding me? Raise the price back to normal when your brother says something nice.
The bulletin board is filled with the cries and anger of those who suffered tremendous losses in half a day. And they soon began to perform all sorts of skits, committing bizarre eccentricities that could not be seen without tears.
-I lost everything and ordered a pizza with the remaining money, but no matter how much I think about it, I pee on the pizza.
-I hit the sink while screaming and it broke. How much does this repair cost?
-Ha….. I lost my temper at the moment I saw the price and hit the monitor with my fist, but it was smashed.
The market where those who invested everything in gold by taking out a loan as collateral for their house were horribly crushed and turned into a sea of blood. However, even in such a serious situation, most users watched with excitement while eating popcorn.
-40% drop ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
-Hahanga Kazuah~ Narak Kazuah!!!
– Doesn’t gold have a lower limit? It’s so exciting how far it will fall.
-???: You can copy money? In fact, it’s crushing!
-The sound of money being deleted is sweet haha
Other people’s misfortune is my happiness.
The Internet has become ugly because people with personalities that even Satan would cry about giggled and made fun of with all sorts of pleasant and creative drips. However, a huge storm was sweeping the entire financial market around the world, including Wall Street, to such an extent that it seemed that the situation of these speculators was nothing.
“Holy shit! What are you talking about? Are you going into forced liquidation?”
“what? How the hell did you come up with a contract? Bring the relevant materials right now!”
“What the hell is this about? Report the matter to the financial authorities immediately!”
Hedge funds that invested huge amounts of money, starting with Soros, the chairman of Miracle Investment, took advantage of China’s huge operation and suffered huge valuation losses due to the sudden drop. It is also expected to cause great damage. Ironically, however, Soros and Miracle Investment, the culprits who triggered this situation, did not suffer any damage.
“I am very fortunate, Chairman. If I didn’t dispose of it before the update as instructed, the entire fund would really be at risk.”
A general manager muttered a sigh of relief next to Soros. At his words, Soros looked away for a moment and muttered as he looked at the TV that was blaring breaking news.
“Something felt strange. I’ve been suspicious ever since I checked for an update that I didn’t even do suddenly. I didn’t expect such an extreme situation to happen, but…” His
intuition as an investor has made him the head of a global hedge fund. With that sense that is no different from the realm of instinct, he narrowly avoided this nuclear bomb that was exploding this time and made a huge profit. He shuddered at the thrill of seeing a scene continuously broadcast on TV.
8.6 billion gold.
A user with an enormous amount of money, approaching $3.2 trillion at the highest market price.
Dex.
Seeing him swimming in the golden sea, possessing an enormous amount of wealth that is impossible for a single person to dare, Soros finally felt that his head was brightened.
“Did you find out about that user?”
“yes. Finding relevant information wasn’t too difficult. He was a well-known celebrity not only in Arcadia, but also in the game industry.”
Owner of monster-like physicality.
But a recluse who has never revealed his true identity.
A person who has always reached the pinnacle as the strongest player in numerous games regardless of genre.
Dex.
Soros, who quickly looked through his brilliant resume, looked closely at the contents related to Arcadia and his eyes lit up.
“Fun.”
“What do you mean?”
“This is the situation. At first, the timing was so precise that I actually suspected that Arcadia was behind the scenes.”
Suspicion that gold is randomly generated indefinitely to lower the market price of virtual currency gold. However, the more the investigation went on, the lower the credibility of the allegation continued.
“The video of that user called Dex hunting a dragon alone was already released to users a long time ago. In addition, there is also a video that says he helped the top of the pie in the past and has a deep relationship.”
A video that saves them from the persecution of GM and a video that proves that it is Kill the Dragon are already circulating on the Internet. So, Soros asked the general manager with sharp eyes.
“It seems that the game company suffered formidably because of what that user named Dex was doing. Isn’t it common sense that they had predicted that this situation would happen a long time ago and laid the groundwork for it?”
“That’s true, but…”
The general manager replied with a confused expression as if he didn’t understand. But Soros turned over the papers in his hand as if he didn’t care.
“It’s so much better than that. I knew the virtual reality market was huge, but it was more than I thought.”
Virtual reality is just a fiction where there is no reality at all.
As a person of the past, Soros could not understand at all seeing the people who were enthusiastic about it and fell into it like crazy.
“I’ve heard stories and reports that it’s not just a game, it’s like a world… but now I think I know what that means.”
Looking at this insane social situation where an astronomical amount of money is being exchanged for pieces of data composed of 0s and 1s that don’t even exist in this world, he muttered as if lamenting. .
“What about the positions we were investing in virtual reality?”
“Uh… Basically, Arcadia Co., Ltd. is an unlisted company, so it is indirectly investing in Corporation Argos and Ajin Electronics Silico Bio Industries.”
“is it….?”
Soros seems to be struggling with that statement. And the general manager carefully opened his mouth with a subtle notice next to him.
“If you are thinking about expanding the investment scale, a huge portion of our portfolio has already been invested. Considering that the stock prices of the three companies are at all-time highs, it is a considerable risk to make additional investments at this point…” The
stocks of the three companies, which have already risen tremendously since the release of Arcadia and formed an incredible price range . The general manager was negatively looking at the additional investment, but Soros smiled and brightened his eyes as if that was not the case.
“That’s not it.”
“Then where…?”
“That virtual reality. I think we can generate huge profits by investing enough of our money there to invest in talented people.”
An idea that has recently become a hot topic among some investment firms and corporations. However, the general manager, noticing that the idea is so outlandish and unique that only a very small number of cases exist, the general manager asked in shock.
“No way… are you thinking about hiring professional gamers and operating them yourself?”
“okay. Did you know that Arcadia Co., Ltd. also expressed a permissive position in this regard?”
“yes. In principle, it is allowed, but as the Korean company GM did in the past, it was said that it is strictly prohibited to disturb the situation in the game by investing large amounts of real money or to gain profits through it.”
“That’s why…. It means that it allows users to hire users only for a salary, but does not allow direct financial involvement in the game.”
“yes. It seems that the decision was made conscious of the eyes of ordinary users.”
“okay. From a game company’s point of view, there is no choice but to do that…”
After that, Soros fell into his own thoughts.
And soon after, he declared it all over the world.
[Miracle Investment was deeply impressed by the potential of virtual currency gold and the philosophy of Arcadia Co., Ltd. that pursues infinite freedom. Therefore, we plan to promote a new large-scale investment that will allow Arcadia to generate huge profits through talented people.] [
Therefore, Arcadia users with many talents and ambitions should knock on the door of Miracle Investment. I will always welcome all adventurers who dream of dominating all of Arcadia from the pinnacle of the virtual world with the goal of 15% stocks that Arcadia Co., Ltd. has professed.]
Proud Miracle Investment.
Starting with their declaration of investing and jumping into this virtual market, the curtain of a historic moment that flavors an era was finally opened due to numerous latecomers who competitively followed.
The golden age of gamers, called the era of big gamers.

Bloody Wednesday.
The world was shaken and noisy by this huge incident that shoved huge and big candy into the mouths of many investors including the Chinese government, but Jack, the creator and top developer of Arcadia, was not interested in this series of events at all.
Jack is more precious and important than anyone else in this virtual reality, where he can contemplate the entire world more freely than what happens in reality, where he has a body that cannot even lift a finger.
However, he was looking at the huge change that this incident had created with very serious eyes.
[Ha….. I’m really going crazy…]
The red dragon Kervenian.
Beyond the Red Clan, he was the eldest of the entire Dragon race.
The colossal wealth hidden in Kervenian’s rares, who possessed such enormous greed that he could not become a load even though he was the eldest. Jack scratched his head wildly with a troublesome face as all of them spread across the continent without hesitation with one single thought to fuck China.
[What on earth is this crazy guy who ignorantly sells everything without thinking about the aftermath? The guys who bring anything and everything to sell or the guys who just take it and sell it carelessly are all the same.]
Items that hold secrets and power that cannot be taken lightly. Since all of that was limited to NPCs and spread, none of the users, CEO Lee Mi-yeon, and executives and employees noticed it, but he could see it because Alice’s arithmetic circuit was running fast and he was contemplating the whole world.
[8 8th circle magic. I can’t believe it….. We humans are finally at the realm of great magic…]
[There is a huge island floating in the sky…? Investigate quietly.]
[You obtained a book containing the secret to making a Philosopher’s Stone? Don’t lie!]
[I can’t believe this….. This sword…?]
The seeds of huge narratives and stories were suddenly sown all over the continent.
And since each of those seeds were the seeds of a giant tree that had the potential to cover the entire continent, he looked at Alice, who predicted and vomited scenarios of numerous incidents and accidents that were highly likely to explode again in the future. I sighed.
[The whole game is ruined because of one real troll.]
