World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 265 My boss... is crazy! (2)

Held a contest hosted by Arcadia Co., Ltd.

The reporters who first received this press release, which was distributed to all media outlets through the public affairs team of the Korean branch, could not believe their eyes.

- The total prize money for the contest is 100 billion won.

Hanwha 100 billion won.

An astronomical amount that can be swallowed up to quite a few medium-sized companies.

Since it was not a unit to be mentioned in a contest, they immediately contacted Arcadia Co., Ltd. to ask if it was a typo.

[Isn’t that a typo?]

“Yes...?”

[The total prize money for this contest is planned to be 100 billion won. Anyone can participate as an individual, and please check the attached press release for a detailed list of awards and prize amounts.]

“Is that really true? No wait. Wait.....”

The person in charge of Arcadia Co., Ltd. had just said what he had to say in a prickly tone and hung up, as if he had already received a lot of similar questions. However, the reporter had no time to be offended by the manager's attitude.

“Baby, call the director quickly! Because we have to publish this article first.”

“I see.”

A press release distributed simultaneously to all media outlets in bulk.

That's why they had no choice but to run around like crazy from the moment they confirmed that the related data was true. To make this huge scoop a headline faster than any other media outlet.

-Shock! The strongest contest on earth, Imagination Battle!

-A total prize money of 100 billion won? Astonishing Arcadia.

- Co., Ltd. Arcadia Korean branch held a huge contest.

-Insane Contest Insane Subtitle. Arcadia Contest.

With an incredibly provocative title, related reports are literally all over the Internet, TV, and even newspapers. It was attracting tremendous aggro so that viewers could never pass by.

- Unleash your hidden imagination! The 1st Imagination Battle!

< My boss is crazy! >

The main title and subtitle that will make viewers unable to stand it.

And I don't know if it was intentional, but the title of this crazy contest caught the attention of many people.

-lol. Did you get paid for this? Aren't you going to be punished by the person in charge?

- It's really a company where the taste buds have gone. Write a title like this.

- Cheek ha ha ha ha ha ha This is K-management.

-A company that could not exist in a Confucian society.

-What kind of joke is running the company? Anyway, really.....

The public reaction was a mix of fun and criticism and ridicule about the company being so damn stupid. However, they couldn't help but be astonished when they saw the details of the competition.

-100 billion...?

-Who is this.....

-Whoa..... Is this a true story?

- Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha The company level has really gone crazy.

A staggering level of money that leaves everyone in awe.

Arcadia's contest became a global issue less than a day after the press release was distributed because it bet enough money as a prize to completely change a person's life.

-Holy Shit..... 1st prize is 10 million dollars?

-100,000 dollars just for 10th place..... Does this make sense.....

-How can I participate in this? Is it possible to participate even if you are not Korean? It

is a tournament that costs too much money to just pass by.

Therefore, related inquiries poured in from other branches of Arcadia Co., Ltd.

[I think it's unfair to host such a large-scale contest only in Korea!]

[That's right. If you arbitrarily hold an event like this in a specific country, consumers in other countries will misunderstand that they are unfairly discriminated against, Mr. President. Please improve once again. ]

Branch heads from all over the world gathered in unison, led by Kazuki, the head of the Japanese branch.

Their request was simple and clear.

‘We should do this event together.'

Those who want to put a spoon on the rice cake that makes one's mouth water at just a glance. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon did not back down and rejected their request at once.

“oh. I'm sorry, but that seems impossible. The budget used for this contest is inevitably made using unexecuted budget due to the special political situation in Korea. If the participants are expanded to the whole world, there will be problems with equity.”

[yes....? What is that.....]

[President... Oh no matter how much.....]

“I'm thirsty for ‘Imagination Wars', which is being held by the Korean branch, as the release date of Lucid Dream has not yet been confirmed. This is a special event for the many creators in Korea who are anxious about It would not be fair to give another country the right to participate in this contest, which has already spent and plans to spend a huge budget on the release of Lucid Dream.”

With the release of Lucid Dream confirmed, branches in other countries are investing huge amounts of money in various areas such as production, distribution, and marketing. In the case of the United States and Japan, it had already been released and was already being used in various areas, so Lee Mi-yeon, president of the branch, looked at Kazuki and smiled brightly.

“Should grown-ups try to get involved in a contest for babies who are just getting into lucid dreaming? Leave it alone so amateurs can enjoy it.”

[.....]

President Lee Mi-yeon said that it is a special event for Koreans who have not experienced lucid dreaming, so do not think about raising a spoon. However, at those words, the branch managers looked at them as if they were ridiculous and kept their mouths shut. I was thinking about where to start to refute the words of that crazy boss who said that it was an amateur competition and sprinkled a huge amount of money that historically does not exist and will not exist in the future.

Department of Virtual Reality Engineering, Seomin University.

Those who respond faster and more sensitively to news related to virtual reality than anyone else have been busy talking about this imaginary battle all day here and there.

“and. 1st place prize money is 10 billion won. Does this make sense?”

“If I really had that money, I could play and eat for the rest of my life. What would the interest be if I just put it in the bank?”

A staggering amount beyond imagination.

At the word that everyone would give money as prize money, which everyone has dreamed of at least once, they were busy running the happiness circuit here and there, but unfortunately, there was a limit.

“Hey, the minimum synchronization rate to participate is 15%. If you can’t get over that, they say they won’t even provide lucid dreams in the first place, so what are you going to do?”

The synchro rate used as a key indicator of the suitability of lucid dreaming.

Considering that the average human figure was 14%, it was possible to get a glimpse of how generous the 15% standard they presented was, but there were still those who fell short of this standard.

“Such an asshole...”

A student like Kang Tae-soo, who boasts a synchro rate of 14.13%, is a standard human indicator.

“Hey Minshik. Are you going to enter the contest?”

“Of course not, man. No matter how bad it is, you should just try it once. Maybe not? If you do well, you might actually win a prize.”

“Quack. It will be fine. Seeing you write Lucid Dream the other day, it sounded like shit.”

“Your in-laws are talking nonsense. Even though you didn’t do anything right.”

The motives talking about the contest while talking loudly. Eavesdropping on their stories, Jaekyun cautiously looked at Jaeyoung, who was sitting next to him with a sour expression on his face as if he wasn't interested at all, and asked.

“Hey... Jaeyoung..... Maybe that contest.....”

“Eh. what is that?”

Jaeyoung answers while staring at her smartphone. Jae-gyun asked cautiously at his reaction, who seemed completely uninterested.

“No... I wondered if you were thinking of going out too...”

“I don't go out like that.”

Jaeyoung is constantly focusing on something without taking her eyes off her smartphone. Jaekyun, who had nothing to say at his stern answer, kept his mouth shut and continued to speak with difficulty.

“But... the prize money for the championship was huge...”

A prize money of as much as 100 billion won.

But at that, Jaeyoung smiled and said.

“Why would you do that with just that much prize money? plaguy.”

“Is that so...?”

The situation is that even with Arfandia's channel, the winning prize is well worth the money in the bank account. Even if he made up his mind and robbed Cervenian's rarity properly, he could have secured enough money to win the contest hundreds of times, so Jae-young did not have a single interest in this contest.

“Don’t you have a lot of money too? I received some of the related shares while producing the League of Legends last time, and I know that Arcadia Co., Ltd. requested cooperation and paid the cost without regret...?”

A virtual reality version of the league of legends created by Jaeyoung and Jaekyun. A very small portion of the total sales was being settled, but even that was a situation where the amount of thousands of units was still being recorded in the bank account every month.

“That's true, but... money isn't the problem, it's just...”

“What are you saying, I want to check your abilities?”

Jaeyoung finally takes his eyes off his smartphone and asks Jaekyun seriously. To his sincere question, Jaekyun answered in a low voice, avoiding his gaze, perhaps a little embarrassed.

“Yeah..... Because there were so many regrets last time.”

“what....? Ah... then that...?”

The dark history of Jae-gyun, who, even before he died of old age, was ashamed and kicked the blanket with his feet and screamed.

The so-called ‘ugly delusion of a dirty pervert stalker'.

In a practical class using lucid dreaming, he gave away the portrait rights and made everyone want to pluck out their eyes by making a video of Chae-yeon's face with time-space and limbs shrinking and disappearing at the same time.

Perhaps he wanted to make up for the incident at that time, Jaekyun showed great interest in this contest.

“Yeah... I’ll cheer you on, so try doing well. Since I am sure of my skills, the award must be certain.”

Jae-gyun perfectly pulls out the visual beauty itself. Jaeyoung had no worries because it was his area of expertise where he was playing at a world-class level.

“Th... then, can I help you alone?”

“What am I...?”

Jae-kyun hurriedly takes out 4 pieces of paper from his bag while asking for help. Then, he handed the papers to Jaeyoung and said.

“When I looked at the details of the contest, it seemed that one of the four backgrounds was selected and made. The genre seems to have nothing to do with it.”

past.

hyundai.

future.

fantasy.

A contest that did not present a specific genre, saying that each winner would be selected in just four fields. That's why Jaekyun said with a begging face.

“I really don’t know what to do... but could you please pick one for me?”

Not particularly difficult request.

So, without hesitation, Jaeyoung pulled out one of the papers he was holding and opened it.

“Um... it’s the future.”

“Mi future?”

Jaeyoung hands over the unfolded paper to Jaekyun. Jaekyun's eyes began to shake as he saw the word ‘future' written in large letters.

“The future... the future... what will you make...?”

Jae-kyun whimpers, thinking about what to do from the start.

Jaeyoung said indifferently to his self-talk.

“Well... don't think too hard, think easy. What, there are a lot of SF genres? What is that... a famous thing like War of the Stars?”

“Star Wars...?”

Jaekyun makes a strange expression and tilts his face when he mentions a world famous movie. Looking at his confused expression, Jaeyoung muttered in an annoyed tone.

“Or make a mechanical dinosaur with quantum mechanics going back in time and fighting against a cat robot without ears.”

Without even imagining what he might be doing.
