Chapter 462 User Raising (6)
Everyone’s Enemy. Axis of Evil. Satan’s lair…..
A company that is often described with countless negative expressions that exist besides that.
Arcadia Co., Ltd.
The company itself was a new company that had been established less than 5 years ago, but in the midst of the numerous atrocities and karma they had committed, they were being reborn as the world’s most evil company, receiving criticism that no other company had ever tasted before.
[Users, shut up and follow what we, the operator, do. Wouldn’t this be some kind of bullshit? How long do we have to wait for a company that provides services to ignore the will of consumers and run it like this?
] Let’s nationalize Arcadia, which monopolizes virtual reality technology and commits all kinds of evil!
To that extent, the hatred and resentment of the users against the company was deeply rooted.
However, just like how a vicious guy usually does a good job once, it makes a big impression…
Those who tasted the sweet feed of those who sprinkled it for the first time, unknowingly, all that anger was quickly disappearing like snow melting.
“Hey, why is the company so quiet these days?”
Normally, the protesters would create a situation where no one could go home with guerrilla protests aimed only at work hours. I have often been unable to go home because of their violent sabotage, but strangely, I have not experienced such a situation recently.
“It seems everyone is busy playing games.”
“Yeah….. Well, when I come out here and protest, I will move to the West and eat as much as I can?”
An employee who licked his lips and nodded at his colleague’s plaintive answer. And he seemed to be thinking about something, and then suddenly smiled as if he was dumbfounded.
“By the way… isn’t 100 times too much? Should I call this crazy….. should I call it amazing…”
An anomaly that appeared in the Western Continent’s Calamity Chimera Corps.
The executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were also shocked after watching the public opinion of Arpendia, checking the related information, and belatedly reviewing the detailed data.
“Acquired EXP… increased by 100 times…?”
“I can’t believe it….. Who the hell would do such a crazy thing…”
The balance and the aftermath of it were not taken into account at all. However, after confirming that this change had come down from the top floor, they had no choice but to watch.
[Hello, all adventurers who play Arcadia. I am Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd.]
There are various rumors and opinions about the abnormal acquisition of experience by Chimeras, such as bugs and errors.
And she apologized to everyone for the first time in a live broadcast watched by billions.
[Arcadia is a world where many secrets and dangers are hidden. And I have followed the principle that you should not touch the changes in this world according to your steps in uncovering this secret.]
[Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. According to that great principle, I thought it was the right thing not to intervene no matter how much I didn’t like the change, and that it was unavoidable even if many adventurers felt dissatisfied and alienated from the difficulty they couldn’t handle.] [But
… Seeing the adventurers flocking to the company and expressing their anger, I began to think deeply about whether our thoughts were wrong. I’m sorry.]
President Lee Mi-yeon, who has never apologized in front of the public. When she bowed her head for the first time and apologized in front of everyone with a sincere face, the reporters who had been watching her in a daze for a moment started flashing like crazy.
[Arcadia is a world that cannot exist without adventurers. I will reflect on the fact that I have not properly listened to everyone’s stories until now, and I will do my best to change. I will do my best to think about various things, including balance issues, and come up with improvement measures so that no one is left out.
And she soon provided answers to the issues everyone was curious about.
[In that sense, I increased the reward experience of the monster ‘Chimera’, which appears in the western camp’s scenario ‘The Catastrophe of All Winged Things’, in which the largest number of users are participating among the scenarios currently in progress inside Arcadia, by my own authority. ]
A complete lie.
Even though she is the CEO of Lee Mi-yeon, who has first-class management authority, that is just the right to access internal information, and she has no authority or will to intervene in the system itself.
But people who don’t know that fact.
To them, Lee Mi-yeon, president of this absurd change, was her own intention and was presenting it in front of everyone, presenting it as an apology and compensation for all the atrocities (?) Arcadia Co., Ltd. has committed so far.
[I fully understand that this is an extreme measure, but please be aware that this decision was made after long consideration to balance a game that has already completely collapsed. Please… I sincerely hope that this scenario will not be a disaster for all adventurers to just stare at helplessly, but an opportunity for your dazzling growth
. .
People who knew the substantive truth were amazed at her remarks, but most of them just praised her.
-Wow… Are you really crazy?
-Not a bug or error, but a real 100x event?
-Wait a minute….. Ah, fuck. I chose the Central Continent, so I can’t participate in the event?
-Kkackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Sound Zealot, a pipeworm that hasn’t chosen a scenario yet!
– Runs straight to the West. These damn Chimera Sherrys…. Sing back that they are all dead.
The public’s anger toward Arcadia Co., Ltd. faded in an instant. The staff had no choice but to admit it while watching in real time that users who had been leaving there returned to Arcadia again like a lie.
“At first I thought it was crazy… but now I don’t think I can say anything but amazing, don’t you? At the very least, you completely calmed down the enormous anger of the users in just one moment.”
Arcadia, a game that has never been friendly to users.
This game, which advocates only infinite freedom and infinite possibilities, and just throws everything into the vast world to learn by rolling, bumping into, and learning… For the first time, it did something for the majority of alienated users.
“That’s also true…. I’m so appalled by this situation that the boss intended.”
“what….?”
“Think carefully. What was the biggest problem in Arcadia right now? It was a matter of extreme polarization of the overall power balance.”
As with any RPG game, Arcadia inevitably creates a gap between users to some extent depending on the amount of time and goods invested. However, it was clear that the difference was so extreme that it could not be compared to any other game.
“0.01% of users monopolized most of the scenarios. Recently, as funds from all sorts of companies and hedge funds rushed in, the conflict between guilds intensified, and in particular, the rejection of general users was getting worse.”
A winner-takes-all structure where only the winner takes everything.
A world of weak meat, where you always have to endure losses if you do not have strength and support.
There were quite a few people inside Arcadia Co., Ltd. who looked at this gap, which did not know the appropriate level and became more extreme as time passed, with a rather concerned gaze.
“By the way… Due to this ridiculous action by the president, the balance is being forcibly adjusted. It’s also an upward leveling method that forcibly raises users who haven’t grown enough yet.”
It is a measure that makes 99.9% of users have no choice but to explode and cheer. And that wasn’t all.
“Besides… it gave all the users great hope. The hope that if everyone joins forces, we might be able to put an end to that ridiculous disaster. It is also a way to allow someone to participate in the scenario voluntarily and happily, not forcibly.”
It’s not just a campaign asking you to participate in the scenario, but a genius idea that makes you jump in yourself. Of course, that didn’t mean that the 100x EXP event was normal, but they had no choice but to acknowledge President Lee Mi-yeon’s outstanding ability, who instantly resolved the enormous crisis they were facing with something that only a madman could do.
“Really… I guess the boss wasn’t just anyone.”
“I thought he was a parachute because he was so young, but he was really talented.”
“When I proposed the plan for the Jukchang Daejeon, I thought I was really crazy…”
Lee Mi-yeon, now in her early 30s, first appeared as the head of a global company.
Although she was always strangely ignored and disregarded by executives who boasted tremendous experience and experience in their 50s, at this moment, a new evaluation of her began to be made in the minds of many people.
Although he repeats a little unique and insane eccentricity….. He
is an outstanding talent who loves the company and this virtual world more than anyone else, and is a leader who leads Arcadia and themselves.
But they were completely unaware.
There is a separate existence that created this ridiculous miracle… and that they are already busy making another new miracle.

East of Arcadia.
Jaeyoung asked as he gazed at the huge, endlessly stretched sea with blue sea water.
“So… a sea serpent that says Leviathan or something is lurking here somewhere?”
“yes. I can’t pinpoint the exact location, but I can definitely feel the energy in this area.”
“Hmm… it won’t be easy…”
The unified continent completely merged into one after the Pangea update.
The expansive sea that filled the huge continent in all directions was so vast that one could not dare to grasp its end.
“Topographically, it is at a disadvantage. It’s a problem to find where it is, and even if you find it, it’s like having a battle against a guy who moves around freely in the water…”
A field where underwater battles are forced.
No matter how strong he is on land, he had to endure a serious loss of combat power in this water-filled environment, so Jae-young muttered as he looked down at the blue sea with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“Hmm….. I should have asked the dragons to get rid of this guy…”
The water has already been spilled, but when I came and looked at the situation, I felt a surge of regret. But the dragons had now played their part in this first catastrophe.
[The sacred object ‘The Source of Plague’, which corrupts everything, has been removed.]
[Disasters in the northern continent have been cleared.]
[There are only 2 remaining disasters.]
Successfully encroached on the North in less than a week. The dragon who slain the disaster that was going on. They found the source of the plague hiding somewhere in the vast north.
A normal-looking teddy bear of a very small size.
At first glance, it looks like a child played with it and threw it away… I don’t know how he found out the holy relic, which was disguised as junk that no one would even look at, but thanks to the complete destruction, Jaeyoung couldn’t say anything regretful about Goldrian. couldn’t even
“Let’s see….. Who will be the most suitable to deal with this calamity…”
That’s why they have to find another strategy. But his troubles did not last long.
“ah! Would that make it easy to deal with?”
“huh? Do you have any good ideas, sir?”
Tan looks at Jaeyoung, who is snapping her fingers and making a sly expression, and asks questions impatiently.
Jaeyoung replied to him with a very evil smile.
“If the terrain is the sea, there are guys who are perfect for this. They are loyal guys who will listen to me well.”
