Chapter 71 Stalker is Scary (1)
“Virtual reality Arcadia is another reality. I am sure that this technology is a transformation and innovation equivalent to giving humanity another earth, and a tremendous achievement that will be recorded forever in human history.”
As a famous sociologist and American professor said, virtual reality allowed people to experience things they had never experienced before.
“Whew… This crop must be a bountiful harvest.”
For some, the experience of a farmer cultivating fertile land and raising crops.
“It’s cheap, it’s cheap. Come and take a look at things. A handsome young man there!”
Someone has the experience of a merchant who buys and sells miscellaneous goods and takes advantage of the market price.
“You are also a thief! Catch that bastard!”
The experience of pickpocketing that someone would never dare to try in real life.
A world that allows you to experience a completely different life as another person who is different from reality.
In particular, as the recent Jukchang Daejeon unexpectedly brought a huge shock to the entire travel industry, people began to be fascinated by this virtual world little by little as it affected people a lot without knowing or knowing it.
“Hey, is it Fantastic Island or have you been there?”
“It wasn’t really a joke. Did you feel like you went to a resort?”
“yes? Everything is free, and the experiences you can enjoy there are no joke.”
A fantasy island comparable to any other beautiful resort. Even just looking at the scenery is so beautiful that it completely heals your heart. It was full of comfortable accommodations and delicious food, and the experience of flying on a griffon over the surface of the sea so clear that the bottom was transparent attracted explosive popularity from people regardless of age or gender.
People who have been healed beyond imagination in virtual reality. As a result, there was an idea that came naturally, and that was a sense of skepticism about travel.
“Do you really need to pay expensive money to travel? You can heal comfortably in virtual reality.”
“that’s right. If you think about it, traveling is quite difficult. Money is money, but it also eats up time, and on top of that, carrying a carrier around and going through hardships in a foreign country where you don’t understand the language, and when you come back, you don’t get healed, you get more tired.”
“that’s right. And what about the merchants who overcharge tourists to eat?”
Arcadia was deeply embedded in people’s daily lives to the extent that many people said that they would rather enjoy a vacation in virtual reality than go on a trip in reality.
And as more and more people are interested in Arcadia, awareness and interest in Dex have also increased unbelievably, as much as the Jukchang Daejeon, which recently successfully completed an event, is popular with people.
“uh? Is that person… isn’t that Dex?”
“What Dex? where?”
“Who is that?”
Jae-young’s popularity has grown to such an extent that people passing by while wandering around the village suddenly turn their heads and tilt their heads to follow. While wandering around avoiding users in the village, he put on a troubled expression when he realized that people were talking about him all over the place.
“Isn’t the idea too novel to choose a bamboo spear as a reward for this event?”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought too. what’s new It’s not because I didn’t win, but if I had won, I would have chosen it.”
“You bastard must have turned his eyes to a unique one and picked it up right away.”
“Woo! no it’s not?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Right?”
“Isn’t it?”
Jaeyoung was eavesdropping on the conversation of the users who were fighting childishly. He let out a deep sigh, pulling his hood down to avoid prying eyes.
“Haa… that damn streaming system.”
Jaeyoung didn’t want to draw people’s attention. That’s why he thoroughly kept all information private and set his nickname not to be displayed, but he was already imprinted in people’s minds with his splendid appearance, and he became so famous that people recognized him just by looking at his basic face and appearance.
“This is why I went as much anonymously as possible, but they have become of little use…”
Jaeyoung murmured sadly. Perhaps because of his reputation, which had been built up step by step since the past under the nickname Dex, the reaction of people to him was frighteningly enthusiastic.
-If you meet Dex, he will follow you to the very end of hell.
-I want to die to Dex.
-Will you accept it if you try to wait until you accept the friend request?
-Since I’m a low level, if I beg, wouldn’t they throw me a unique item out of pity?
The world is wide, but it is a world full of crazy people.
In this virtual world full of madmen who are hard to meet in everyday life, it was really full of people pouring madness on Dex. Jae-young caught a glimpse of the madness of those crazy people who were looking for him every day in Arfandia.
That’s why he was hiding from people’s eyes more sensitively than ever, and Tan and L, who kept watching him from behind, asked him with questionable eyes.
“Hey master. Why the hell are you so restless?”
“You feel the fear. What the hell are you so afraid of?”
“Ah… because of the strange perverted stalkers.”
“stalker?”
“What do you mean?”
While Tan and L tilted their heads at Jaeyoung’s incomprehensible words, a group of users rushed in from the entrance of the restaurant with a loud sound.
“This is the restaurant that was reported to have Dex, right?”
“hey. I’m sorry, but I’ll check your face for a second.”
“What are you all about!”
“It’s not Dex… Enjoy your meal.”
Users suddenly broke in and poked their faces at the people who were eating in silence. Those who were peacefully enjoying their meal were taken aback by their sudden action, but they didn’t care at all.
“Hey, just one face…”
“Not over here!”
“Here too!”
Their actions show their fierce tenacity to find Dex checking everyone’s face by walking around the spacious restaurant. Jaeyoung was truly goosebumps at the actions of the madmen who were gradually approaching him.
“These crazy guys…”
I don’t know where or who reported it, but for some reason, I could feel a terrible madness in the faces of those who were struggling to find themselves.
-I want to catch Dex and lick it.
– How would you feel if you were killed by Dex? I’m really curious.
– What about hitting this guy?
-If you catch Dex, I want to see you crying after harassing me for three days and nights. mandible mandible.
A feast of madmen who unhesitatingly express their ugly desires that are hard to put into words in Arfandia. That’s why Jaeyoung tried to move slowly to get out of the restaurant, avoiding their eyes as much as possible. But at that time, Tan looked at them with strange eyes and muttered.
“Hmm… I finally understand what the situation is.”
“What are you talking about.”
L still looks at the situation with blank eyes as if he doesn’t understand. But Tan clicked his tongue and gave him a face.
“Well… chicken wings like you don’t know. Originally, when someone is exceptional or popular enough to attract everyone’s attention, crazy people like that get swindled.”
“What are you talking about these damn bats?”
L grumbled, frowning at the remark as if ignoring him. However, Tan ignored her and talked to Jaeyoung with an attitude as if he understood everything.
“I know because I was once hurt. Being involved with obsessive guys like that is very tiring. Even if they are like bugs, it is best to avoid them when they come in groups like that.”
“…You said you’ve been victimized too?”
At Tan’s words, as if he were an experienced person, Jaeyoung looked at him with strange eyes and asked. Then Tan muttered with an expression as if recalling old memories.
“After I became the Demon King, how many bugs rushed to try to take over that position…? If I gathered only the guys who rushed at me at that time, it would probably form a mountain?”
Tan seems to be talking about something very long ago. At his words, Jaeyoung asked with her eyes shining.
“okay? So what did you do?”
To that, Tan replied with an expression as if asking for something obvious.
“How do you do it? I killed them all.”
“…..”
Jaeyoung looked dumbfounded at Tan’s words that he had killed them all as if to prove that they were demons without the concept of peace embedded in their brains. However, when Tan saw Jaeyoung’s expression, he hurriedly continued to say what he couldn’t say.
“But I was really tired from fighting them then. So, I have something I prepared to use later, in case I ever find myself in such a situation… Do you want to lend it to me?”
“what….? what is that….?”
damn
Tan said there was a way and took out something by flicking his hands. What was in his hand was none other than a bizarre-looking mask.
“ruler. I made this for my own use, so I can’t give it to you at all. I’ll lend it to you for a short while.”
“What is this…”
A limp, limp mask. The unidentified mask, which was not known what kind of leather it was made of, boasted a tactile sensation that made people feel uncomfortable just by touching it.
[Mask of the Deceiver – Myth]
A mask made by attaching the skins of the highest-ranking demons. You can hide the truth and project only the distorted lies you want to others.
-Equipment limit: none
-Durability: infinite
-Special skill: Deception camouflage
-Nullification of detection insight skill.
– No one can see through the truth.
Tan took out a mythical grade item and gave it to him. However, Jaeyoung asked him as if he was absurd.
“What is this, a mythical grade?”
Abilities too crude to be called a myth. It was an item that only had two non-combat skills, Deception and Camouflage, so in Jaeyoung’s eyes, it lacked too many parts to be considered a mythical item.
“Hey, even if it looks like this, how precious is he? uh? Do you know how many duke-level demons I tore apart to make this?”
As described in the item description, a mask made with the by-products of demons that Tan caught and killed. Since each of the objects that became the material was a being with tremendous power, this mask made of parts of their bodies was given a mythical grade different from the ability it possessed.
“I don’t know anything else, but I can definitely guarantee one performance. No skill or authority will be able to pierce this mask and recognize your true identity. In other words, unless you intend to show yourself, no one will be able to find you.”
The perfect item for avoiding annoying situations with madmen. I couldn’t understand why Tan had made something like this, but I could see why he was taking it out and putting it in Jaeyoung’s hand.
“Still, this is a bit harsh. Don’t you think you’re going to gobble up the odds or have fun just because it’s a Shinhwa level?”
Tan put on a sullen expression at those words. Tan, who had slightly raised his eyes as if he had been caught, immediately cleared his throat and said.
“hey! Still, I should use the best person to write. What if you hide it with a crude item and someone sees through your identity? If you get caught by a damn bitch like a saint, you won’t even get a bone!”
The saintess was not an ajumma from the next door, making ridiculous assumptions and excitedly talking about the justification for the mask, but in the end she revealed what she wanted in Jaeyoung’s suspicious eyes.
“Just 100,000! If you give me a probability of 100,000, I’ll lend you this until you die. okay?”
A shot that requires a probability of 100,000. However, before Jaeyoung could say anything to him, El stepped forward and rushed at him.
“You damn bastard. Are you crazy?”
“what! It’s this chicken chick! You, too, had fun ripping off probability with the strong god the other day!”
“Take something fun! Do you know how much trouble we had to deal with because of Calypso’s unexpected behavior? Where the hell are you going to use it like that!”
“Wherever you are, it’s to be used to feed fucking chicken wings like you guys! why! Pick it!”
“You damn bat!”
Tan and L started fighting on their own. However, instead of stopping the two of them, Jaeyoung had no choice but to wear the mask in order to get away from the group of madmen who were right in front of him.
[Equipped with the mythical item Deceiver’s Mask.]
[The power of deception and camouflage covers the player’s body.]
[The false being completely covers the original identity.]
Slowly.
Along with a strange feeling, Jaeyoung felt the touch of the mask wriggling coldly against his face. However, Jaeyoung did not know that the power of this mask was more powerful than he thought.
