World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 166 Kill the Dragon (10)

After the Midas Merchant Company revealed the item. Until the auction started, Jaeyoung lived an ordinary life and was faithful to her role.

“I’ll do just that much for today.”

“Yes. Is that so?”

“yes. The basic map implementation seems to have been perfectly adjusted at this level, and the character implementation is about 40% progressed, so I think we can proceed without a hitch until the planned date.”

“Yeah! Then let's do it.”

Jae-young goes to work at the headquarters of Arcadia Co., Ltd. every day without going to school. As promised before, regardless of grades and attendance, I was having an interesting time helping with the secret project being promoted by the company.

‘This is much more fun than the class.'

Bringing your favorite game back into virtual reality. In a way, he was an expert who mastered the game system and each element more than a developer, so Jae-young was immersed in realizing a world by using his knowledge to the fullest. And Jaeyoung's enthusiastic participation showed a miraculous phenomenon in which the progress of the project changes day by day.

“what? Have you already completely finished the map implementation?”

“No, how long have you been participating in the project, finish it all.”

“What what...? Character development has already begun? Almost half?”

The absurd speed and amount of work to the extent that exclamations almost come out of amazement. Of course, it is said that there is a monster-like genius who can embody everything with tremendous imagination, but it was purely thanks to Jae-young that he pulled out his ability to the fullest and showed extreme efficiency.

“Wow.....the real monsters are monsters.”

“Are all Seomin University students like that?”

“Can that be? It's just that they're both geniuses.”

Employees who look at the enormous amount of work these two perform every day like a monster. They sighed in relief at the fact that these two were still students, not full-time employees. And he sighed over his fate, which would be frantically compared to the performance of the two in the future and tightened.

“Ah..... If the manager sees this, he will say with what conscience do we get paid?”

“Looking at the work you did today... I can’t help but say that?”

“Then you...?”

“...Fuck.”

Works that have barely been created by bringing out the maximum of one's imagination. However, since the difference between quality and quantity itself was so great that they could not dare to compare, they had no choice but to bow their heads in a strange feeling of jealousy and despair rising in their hearts.

“Ah, did you hear that rumor?”

“rumor? What else happened?”

“ah. It's not our problem, it's a mythical item that was released in the Japanese continent.”

“A mythical level...? Did something like that come out?”

The staff whose eyes widen at those words. But his colleague shrugged and shook his head.

“I don’t know the details either. However, according to the story, the source is unknown, and it was said that it was an item that suddenly popped up one day and was put up for auction. That’s why the gold price skyrocketed as users went crazy, saying that this was the rice cake for the new main scenario.”

“Oh, was that because of that?”

“...If you are an employee of our company, shouldn't you be aware of the incidents and accidents that happen inside Arcadia?”

“No, you know you have to have time to play. When I go home after working overtime to meet, I stretch out right away and just sleep, so how do you pay attention to all of that?”

An employee who protests with a face that is unfair to a colleague's words. However, his co-worker whispered in a low voice, his eyes shining as if he hadn't finished talking yet.

“That's not important, and as far as I've found out, the item has absolutely nothing to do with the main scenario of the Japanese branch.”

“what....?”

The staff member asked in a loud voice without even realizing it. However, the other employees didn't seem to hear their voices as they were each doing their own thing, as if they were busy checking each and every thing the monster duo had worked on.

“I heard from a colleague in the crisis management and response team upstairs... that Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon had a really good fight with Kazuki, the Japanese branch manager.”

“You said you fought hard? why?”

The two general managers of the Korean branch and the Japanese branch.

As he looked puzzled at the news that those who should have kept their face and dignity had raised their voices and fought, his colleague showed him something.

“If that mythical item that suddenly appeared in the Japanese continent was not intentional or intervened by the Japanese branch, where did it come from? It's a very hot topic in Arpendia right now, but I'm assuming that we got into a fight while checking the facts about this.”

“What? What is it?”

Unable to hold back his curiosity, he snatched a colleague's cell phone. And he looked at the two photos and muttered with a puzzled face.

“What is this?”

Two pictures posted on Arpendia.

It was none other than a picture of a sword displayed at the top of Midas and a picture edited from a video from a channel.

“how is it? Aren’t they similar?”

“...It's not the same level, it's just the same sword...?”

It's divided into pieces, but when you put them together, the sword looks exactly the same. However, the problem is that the place where the intact sword appeared is in the video released in the Korean continent, which heated up Arpandia. It is not an exaggeration to say that it overturned all previously prepared scenarios and triggered a completely new second main scenario.

“Wait a minute... then this can’t be...?”

He asks with a questioning expression. The worst assumption imaginable flashed through his mind.

“If the item being sold in mainland Japan is the same as the sword held by the devil in the Choco Paijoa video...” All employees

of Arcadia Korea branch have said this at least once. A symbol of honed hatred. A channel specializing in home destruction, which is one of the causes of the decline in the national fertility rate by forcing employees to work overtime when the video comes up, jeopardizing both the love and marriage fronts.

Destroyer's routine.

The mysterious battle video between the devil and the angel, whose context is still unknown. The incident that even the management team, the crisis management response team, and even the executive director Kwon Myeong-han were completely unaware of.

However, the sword that appeared in the mysterious video reappeared. Suddenly, without any notice, across the distant sea, from the Japanese continent.

“And you know what? Choco Piezoa and Dex, who moved to the Japanese mainland this time, are friendly with each other. The way I see it, it looks like the two of them are plotting something.”

Dex revealed that he had a personal relationship with Choco Piejoa. Looking at the videos uploaded on the same channel, I could tell that they were quite close. And when you combine the various circumstances that are now open on the Internet, the fact that these two are plotting something in mainland Japan seems clear.

-But was that sword a mythical item? No, what the hell was it originally...?

-But why did you take that to the Japanese continent? Did you sell it to the merchant for money?

-This is a leak of cultural assets... No, isn't it a leak of a mythical item?

Korean users were puzzled by the fact that they went to the Japanese continent and disposed of the item, not the continent they were playing on. However, among these negative comments, those who began to reveal their true colors. The ubiquitous and nowhere existence is a quantum mechanical group like Schr?dinger's cat, Deck Fanmoo. Their writings began to flood all over Arpandia.

-This is the main scenario! That's definitely the main scenario!

-Looking at this as Kingly's heart, Choco Pie and Dex go over to the Japanese continent and do anything.

-Deck fan dance!!! Deck Fan Mu!!! Deck Fan Mu!!! Deck fan!!!!

-No, it's not a deck fan dance, it's a deck fan sword. Let's write the name properly.

-Black Black Black Black Black Black!!!

The bulletin board quickly became dirty. Negative writings were soon buried and disappeared in the messy and ugly writings full of desire. The auction day is approaching moment by moment in a situation where no information has been disclosed. The Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who was watching it, was nervously convulsing and asked the Korean branch to give out all the information it knew, which was the current situation.

“I don’t know exactly what it is... but for some reason this smells very suspicious...?”

He listened to his colleague silently and put together several puzzle pieces. And he frowned at the intense smell that came instinctively.

“yes? I don't know, but if it involves a mythical item, it probably won't end easily.”

“...Please don’t let us become X’s.”

“I see...”

The two employees mumbled their heartfelt desire that they did not want to work overtime like that. But these two were completely oblivious. Two college students exchanging strange glances while quietly listening to their conversation.

“Hey Jaeyoung.”

“why?”

On the subway back home after leaving the company, Jae-kyun glances at him. As if he had something to say, Jaekyun mumbled for a while before asking with a serious face.

“You know the quest you talked about last time. Do you have anything to do with what is happening in mainland Japan right now?”

Picking Dragon Heads.

The real reason he went to the Japanese continent he heard directly from Jaeyoung. After that, he didn't tell me the details, but even then, Jae-gyun was able to find out various information through the Internet.

A mysterious mythical item that suddenly appeared in the Japanese continent. And a fairly credible analysis of the item, plus a personal story from two design team members today.

Jae-gyun, who had put it all together, was convinced. That all of this chaotic thing that is happening on the Internet right now is the result of a single person sitting right next to him with a calm face.

And Jaeyoung was silent for a while in response to Jaegyun's question with a rather serious face, and then spoke in a quiet voice.

“that's right.”

“You... what the hell are you trying to do in the game?”

A transcendental dragon set up as a guardian of Arcadia, not a being created to be caught in the first place. Jaeyoung, who was about to do such a ridiculous thing, looked at him with eyes that Jaekyun couldn't understand and asked.

“No, more than that, what the hell is your job? The other day, he was definitely a crusader with a hammer, but what was the magic he showed on the Japanese continent... No matter how much I think about it, there are a lot of things I can't understand.”

Until now, Jae-gyun had wanted to ask, but he suppressed his curiosity and endured it. However, the questions that started pouring once to see if the limit had been reached began to burst out without a break.

“.....”

Jaeyoung, who was silently listening to the questions. After silently listening to Jaekyun's self-talking questions for a while, he pondered something in his head and then asked in reverse.

“Jaekyun.”

“why?”

“Do you know what the butterfly effect is?”

“...What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Jae-gyun looks at Jae-young, who is answering the question of alumni, with a strange look. However, Jaeyoung's face as he asked the question was smiling deeper than ever, and seemed full of wickedness.

“The theory that things that were thought to be trivial create other things one after another and eventually grow out of control into a huge incident. At first, I laughed at how the flapping of a butterfly's wings can become a storm, but now I think I understand why.”

Picking the dragon's head.

Obviously, it was something that an ordinary criminal could not even dare to imagine, but if you think about everything he has passed through, the story that is being written now comes from something so trivial.

“Who would have thought that destroying a historical site with a pickaxe would grow into picking a dragon’s head like this?”

Falling for Tan's twist and destroying one of the celestial channeling bases. Recalling that this was the starting point of all these incidents, Jaeyoung muttered in a self-deprecating voice as if he was dumbfounded.

“what....?”

Jaekyun makes an absurd expression as if he can't understand. But Jaeyoung whispered to him.

“And the surprising thing is, Jaekyun. As for picking the dragon's head.....”

Jaeyoung's voice spoke with sparkling eyes. In that voice, Jaekyun felt an inexplicable ominous feeling.

“It's just the beginning of what's to come.”
