Chapter 92 I want to be a streamer too (9)
After receiving a new video from Jaeyoung. All iPlus employees gathered and held an emergency meeting.
“Isn’t this… not too much of a joke…?”
An employee who gulps down saliva and expresses candid impressions with a serious face. And as if agreeing with what he said, everyone nodded their heads in unison.
“that’s right! How long has it been since you posted your first video about the dwarven city? It’s a situation where there’s a chaos because of the people flocking to it, but you’re revealing a mythical grade item here? Then maybe we can’t even dig a bone?”
Reporters roam around the offices of iPlus looking for interviews or stories. In addition, there are people who directly visit and hang around to find out the exact location of the city of dwarves and Jae-young’s identity.
Even so, the entire company was already receiving explosive attention, and it would not be strange if a bloody event such as a riot occurred if even a mythical grade item was released here.
“How are you going to go about acquiring the mythical items? Didn’t I tell you not to cover it up and to disclose everything?”
A shape created by a crude hammer burning in a huge red flame. The figure exuding tremendous energy was spilling a story in the video as if it had a huge rice cake.
[I still lack a lot to become a being that will shine my name…]
[Try as much as you lack, and try again. Whatever hardships, whatever pains, whatever tough obstacles, overcome and overcome them like steel, and surpass them all. And become the best blacksmith and confidently reveal yourself to the world as my apostle.]
A message to Joong-shik, the owner of the hammer. The transcendent existence clearly announced its existence in the video, spewing out a huge prominence that seemed to swallow the entire city.
[The name of Vulcanus, who was called the god of steel, fire, and blacksmiths…]
A mythical blacksmith hammer that appeared like that. Since they were iPlus employees who play Arcadia, I knew that the ripple effect of this video was incomparable to any other video.
“CEO, it’s nothing else, it’s a Shinhwa level. Besides, looking at this video, it seems like something huge is hidden. It seems to be at least the level of the main scenario, but if this is released, will we be able to handle the storm after that?”
A transcendental being unheard of even in Arcadia’s worldview. In addition, since I have never heard of the setting that such a divine being appears in a game anywhere, I was able to guess that the situation that is happening in the video is fragmentarily exposing a tremendous grand narrative that has not yet been released to the public.
“Once I get it. I’ll make a phone call with the customer for a while and come back, so everyone is cooling their heads.”
CEO Cho Seo-wook thinks this is too much. Of course, if you are a user who plays Arcadia, you have no choice but to click on it at least once, so it was certain that it would change the highest number of views. However, since it was a video that had such a powerful ripple effect, there was a very strong possibility that if it went wrong, it would be a disaster for the people who flocked to the entire IPlus.
“Huh… This really hurts my head…”
Jaeyoung is obsessed with keeping secrets thoroughly. Because of that, people’s curiosity and interest were all driven to his company, which was the only link, and he was receiving a lot of attention to the extent that he was burdened with building a stronger awareness than ever before.
“Okay…. First of all, we have to talk in the direction of revealing it after a while…”
CEO Seowook Cho calls somewhere on his mobile phone with an expression as if he has made up his mind on something. After a brief beep, Jaeyoung’s voice sounded puzzled.
[Yes, Mr. What’s going on?]
“Oh, customer. I received the video well and checked it with the staff. I called because I have something to discuss about it.”
[Oh is that so? What are you discussing?]
“That’s it… I reviewed the video internally and held a meeting with the staff….. This video itself is perfect and there is no problem at all, but the timing is too late to postpone the upload schedule. I came to the conclusion that it would be better.”
[Um… is that so? What was the timing?]
“Ah… that’s because after this video was released, so many people came to the company to ask about the video. There were a lot of people asking for information about the customer, but I was sweating hard to euphemistically refuse and send it.”
[That’s right. You’ve worked hard.]
“That’s why I want the release of this video to be delayed even a little bit. Right now, people’s reactions are so explosive, and if myth-level items and information related to them are exposed, people will never be quiet.”
However, despite CEO Jo Seo-wook’s earnest request, Jae-young’s voice over the receiver was indifferent.
[For that reason, it seems difficult to accept the delay in uploading the video.]
“Yes….?”
[There are two reasons. I’m going to release that video now because people’s interest has reached its peak.]
“What is that…?”
[Didn’t you feel it while watching the video? I don’t know what it is, but it’s like rice cake that there’s a huge scenario that hasn’t been revealed yet.]
“…..”
At Jae-young’s words, President Jo Seo-wook shut his mouth. Even if he thought about it, it was a video that clearly revealed hidden settings that had not yet been revealed, so he did not even think to refute Jae-young’s speculation.
[However, there is little information we know. That’s why I open it to people. Think about it. There is no known information, clues, or anything… but at least if you know the purpose of what to look for, won’t a lot of things be uncovered soon? That’s why I’m uploading this video.]
“That word… stimulates people to intentionally dig into related scenarios to uncover additional information… Do you mean this?”
[Hmm…well, not exactly that purpose, but it’s similar.]
It actually was. Originally, the main scenario is never a structure that only one person can take over. It was something that had to be solved by as few as hundreds and as many as tens of millions of users working together. It was a problem that Jaeyoung could not solve alone, so he was inducing the emergence of the main scenario in the direction of disclosing hidden information about it to people.
[Please edit the parts that can identify who I am like in the previous video.]
“Okay….. If that’s the reason, I’ll have the video ready to be uploaded in the near future.”
CEO Jo Seo-wook had no choice but to bow his head at Jae-young’s words that he would intentionally disclose hidden scenario information at a time when people’s interest was at its peak. Whatever it was, it was Jaeyoung, the original creator of the video.
[yes. Then please…..]
“Ah. That customer?”
[yes. Is there anything else you want to say?]
CEO Jo Seo-wook hurriedly calls Jae-young, who was about to hang up the phone, as if he remembered something. he asked in a very curious voice.
“You said earlier that there were two reasons for uploading the video right now, but I think you only said one… Then what is the other reason?”
CEO Cho Seo-wook’s question. In response to that question, Jaeyoung said it didn’t matter.
[Ah… the second reason? It’s just fun.]
“Yes…?”
[It’s so much fun to read the comments these days. It’s fun to see the number of subscribers and views go up. I will have to upload more videos of this in the future. People’s reaction is surprisingly good.]
“…..”
Jaeyoung is happy to see the reaction after uploading the video. However, CEO Cho Seo-wook kept his mouth shut with a face that chewed shit. Even now, all employees are suffering greatly from people who are looking for an opportunity to break into the office in the aftermath of the previous video, but the person concerned is peacefully laughing while watching the comments. It was CEO Seo-wook Cho who was strangely upset.
Arcadia Korea Branch.
All departments, normally busy without blinking an eye, suddenly stopped working due to a notice from the head office.
“What do you mean by that? Deprivation of work authority?”
Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was clearly embarrassed. As the general manager of the Korean branch, he asked with a white face at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon.
“It is literally. As of the current time, all business rights for planning, development, management, and operation of quests and main scenarios are revoked. Matters related to this are immediately notified to the department in charge of the relevant task, and reassigned to another department by switching to another task. Therefore…”
A notice to disband all departments related to quests and main scenarios and scatter to other departments. At those words, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han said with a white face as if shocked.
“What do you mean by that! It would not be an exaggeration to say that the department for quest and scenario development is the core of our company, but that department
was suddenly …” However, President Lee Mi-yeon said while holding out an extremely thick document in front of him.
cooong.
A stack of papers landed on her desk with a heavy sound. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon made an expression as if asking what that was, and CEO Mi-Yeon Lee said in a low voice.
“Executive Director, Executive Director, do you know how many main scenarios have contradictions?”
“If you are talking about the opening of the Dwarf Village, that part is already being resolved by the entire development team. Sooner or later, all the problematic quests will be able to be adjusted…”
“Really? You said you would smoothly adjust all of the over 100,000 quests?”
“yes….? 100,000 summary….? What is that…”
“You didn’t know yet. Act. Starting with 3, Act. All scenarios up to 9 have been corrupted. In other words, all the scenarios that will be released over the next ten years are twisted and twisted, and a complete revision is inevitable.”
“yes….? Yeah eh eh?!”
Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon picks up the documents, frightened by those words. While he was checking the contents of the documents with an expression of disbelief, CEO Lee Mi-yeon adjusted her glasses and said,
“This has been reviewed several times already. Collaboration between humans and artificial intelligence You create a huge framework for the main scenario, and Alice, an artificial intelligence, actively draws out the details. It was my initial plan to manage Arcadia with this structure, but looking at the results so far, it seems impossible.”
Users bouncing back and forth in completely unpredictable directions. Problems that arise as the plates of the scenarios they have planned continue to go awry because they could not predict and induce all their actions. So, Alice made a decision. It means that we will create a real story by real users, not a story made with vague predictions and speculations.
“…the other employees won’t understand.”
“Sure. The only people who knew about the existence of Ellis were me, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, and a few heads of specific departments.”
“…..”
“Talk as usual. According to the decision of the ‘headquarters’, we have decided to entrust the task of developing quests and scenarios to the ‘headquarters’ from now on.”
