World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 281: One Day with the Boss,

Unlimited Freedom. and endless possibilities.

In Arcadia, where nothing is definitively decided and everything is created and disappears in real time, big and small changes happen every day.

A village that used to be fine was completely evaporated overnight due to monster attacks.

A hunting ground was completely wiped out and turned into devastated ruins, or even occupied by other monsters.

Arcadia, a virtual reality that is very similar to the unpredictable reality, where the main scenario filled with the blood and tears of the management team disappears overnight, and a huge main scenario is created that was never thought of at all.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this system, which is sometimes irritating but always presents new and fresh appeal to users, was possible because the artificial intelligence Alice controls everything in the game.

Woo woo woo.

Alice, who does not rest even for a minute and a second, always busily operates the calculation circuit, and responds immediately to all possible issues. And her system began to analyze the results after detecting the newly blooming variables.

[Rare of Kervenian. NPC Haimer peculiarities detected.]

Originally, Haimer, who was just an extra living in Arcadia without any special mission or role, was not receiving special attention from her. In the end, his fate, which should have ended with a tragic death in a city in the Gael Federation, suddenly began to twist.

[Level 1 surveillance target player dex. Encounter with the corresponding NPC.]

Dex, the main character, receives attention from Jack and her to the extent that it is different from other users. Knowing better than anyone else his moves that always create huge upheavals in games, Ellis closely watched the changes taking place in Haimer.

[that's right. That war will surely happen. And that war can only be stopped by you. With the theory you were researching.]

[Okay. I will definitely complete the theory no matter what. And... through it, I will protect the Gael Federation with my own hands. Even at the cost of his life.]

Haimer accelerates his research, full of a sense of mission that only he can prevent war. In addition to the countless high-level magic theories stored in Cervenian's lair, and the indiscriminate provision of the finest magic experiment materials with unimaginable value, all of her expectations began to twist out of control.

[NPC No.20001222223 new purpose transplant.]

[NPC Haimer character settings readjusted.]

[Character grade adjusted. Normal - Hero]

[Detected a fatal variable.]

[Researching possible scenarios.....]

Originally, starting with the Gael Federation, she expected that the entire continent would be swept away by the fire of war.

But now.

The possibility was born that the war might not happen at all or would end very soon.

[Switch to intensive analysis mode.]

A volcanic area full of lava that nobody knows about.

By a young man groaning in the depths and buried in a book.

* * *

CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who handles various tasks related to Arcadia Co., Ltd., which has dozens of branches around the world.

As the only person in charge with first-class management authority and able to handle a lot of confidential information from Elise, she grabbed her head one day at a sudden warning.

“Haa... A security incident happened?”

[That's right. Please refer to the analysis data detected through Argos.]

Confidential data sent to President Lee Mi-yeon's e-mail. While checking various information, including audio recordings and photos, she muttered in an annoyed voice.

“I expected something like this to happen someday... but it must happen in Japan.”

A familiar voice that President Lee Mi-yeon had heard many times among the people who were talking loudly in Japanese. As soon as she heard that, she realized that it was Governor Kazuki and put on a surprised expression.

“No, not a general manager, but a branch manager-level person who defected?”

The existence of a flawless artificial intelligence, Alice, that can only be known when managers with some special duties and higher executives. That's why Arcadia Co., Ltd. promised huge salaries and various privileges to those who held positions of manager level or higher, and at the same time, put up a harsh confidentiality clause.

Lee Mi-yeon, who used carrots and sticks to silence them. However, in the end, Alice's existence was exposed to the outside world, literally saying that eternal secrets do not exist in this world.

“Who is behind it?”

He must have been promised a huge reward enough to give up the privileges he had enjoyed as a branch manager. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of the company, asked with a cold expression as it was something that could not be dared to be attempted unless it was a force with considerable power and wealth.

[According to the information received, it is confirmed that the Japanese government is deeply involved.]

“The Japanese... government? Does this go that far?”

President Lee Mi-yeon was checking the relevant information on the monitor with her eyes narrowed. Soon after, she let out a blank laugh with an absurd expression on her face and murmured.

“Ha... The Cabinet Investigation Office intervened directly. In addition, the Japanese Prime Minister and the entire cabinet are deeply involved, right?”

Ajin Electronics' masterpiece smartphone G series, which has sold more than 10 billion units worldwide and is said to be owned by every human being in the world.

President Lee Mi-yeon, who could see the entire acquisition process in detail through the eyes of Argos, who was collecting all the information through it, couldn't help but admire their meticulous and tenacious efforts.

[The Prime Minister of the Japanese Cabinet... In Korea, factors above the ministerial level came forward directly. It is analyzed that acquisition is quite possible as long as the state's public power intervenes in this way.]

Japan's acquisition operation is bigger than expected. The ultimate goal they were aiming for was the seizure of the original technology for virtual reality owned by Arcadia.

“First of all... that effort at least paid off. At least you figured out what to steal from our company, right?”

The Japanese government, more precisely than any other country, has identified the target it should aim for. However, Lee Mi-yeon's face showed a sense of composure rather than worry.

“Even if it were, it would be a target that could never be captured.”

Alice, an artificial intelligence that manages and controls everything in Arcadia and all systems based on virtual reality technology. Even everything recently developed in collaboration with other companies or countries was in her palm, and the virtual reality industry meant Alice itself, so the security for her was so solid and thick that it was beyond imagination.

[There is a 0% chance that the Japanese government will take over my core system. Currently, related matters have been delivered to the US intelligence department, and we plan to strengthen security accordingly, establish additional closing procedures inside the hive facility, and install additional related devices. You don't have to worry about that.]

An unknown desert located somewhere in the vast territory of the United States.

Her core, stored in Silicoff's secret research facility Hive, secretly located deep underground, went beyond its own double-triple security system and was under the strong protection and protection of the US government.

[As long as the Japanese government does not want to go to war with the United States, my system is safe.]

That's why Lee Mi-yeon, the president, knew. The fact that the dream the Japanese government is dreaming of is nothing more than a vain delusion.

“Well... I get it first. Even so, be prepared for the unexpected.”

[I understand.]

Still, Alice replied that she would understand when she was told to be careful. And soon, I asked the president Lee Mi-yeon.

[What do you plan to do with Governor Kazuki?]

“Director Kazuki?”

He betrayed the company and became attached to the Japanese government.

There was no mercy for him who sold the secrets of his precious company while sitting in the position of head of the branch in charge of the Japanese branch, but it was ambiguous to make a special response.

“Hmm... is that...?”

Information about the close relationship between him and the Japanese government obtained illegally and secretly. It was impossible to mention this openly, but it was too much in its current state to kick him out with ridiculous quibbles.

“Somehow, once we move here, it's too obvious...?”

It's a situation where I haven't done anything special yet.

Considering that the Japanese government was also closely watching the movements of all Japanese branches, including Governor Kazuki, there was no need to act hastily.

[I think so too. In addition, according to the information provided by Governor Kazuki, it has been determined that another operation is underway within the Japanese government.]

“Another operation? What do you mean?”

[This is an operation related to the situation inside the game. Please check the related content.]

President Lee Mi-yeon keeps her eyes on the monitor while dragging the mouse. Soon after, she laughed like it was ridiculous.

“what? Are you crazy about this now? Are you encouraging the main scenario I warned you about?”

A huge war that will spill blood over the entire continent of Arcadia beyond the Japanese continent.

anarchy.

It was Lee Mi-yeon herself who had made every effort to prevent this and provided information that exceeded the security level to Kazuki, so she looked downcast at the Japanese government's behind-the-scenes action.

“Won..... I warned you so much that if a war breaks out, it will be Japan that will see blood, but you're going to do something like this? Why?”

To her, it was like an act of suicide. I couldn't understand the behavior of those who set themselves on fire in a huge oil barrel, but Elise added that it could be.

[It is analyzed that there was a fatal judgment error because the user variable was excluded from the information I provided and the ending of the expected scenario. In the scenario I provided, the Japanese continent was the beneficiary of huge profits.]

“Hmm... anyway, they really don't listen to what I have to say. Do you still not understand the situation?”

Jae-young asked with a very calm face if it was okay to destroy the Shoen Empire. It's dark before my eyes just to think about what kind of catastrophe would happen if he stepped forward, but the Japanese government was making the situation on its own without knowing anything about it.

[That's right. As a result, Japanese users' aggression and willingness to fight exploded. Significantly, the probability of triggering a scenario also jumped to 89% at one time.]

The atmosphere of war spread like wildfire among adventurers. The alliance with the Ferros Empire was the most decisive, and their response also had a big impact, encouraging the start of the main scenario, but President Lee Mi-yeon soon realized that Alice's words were in the past tense.

[But it doesn't matter now.]

“What do you mean by that?”

[A critical variable affecting the main scenario has been detected. It is expected that the scenario and results will be completely different from now, but it is still uncertain.]

Ellis says that all previous predictions will be overturned. At her words, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked with a bitter face.

“Is it because of what our troubled customer is doing?”

[That's right.]

President Lee Mi-yeon instinctively realized at Alice's words.

No matter what happens in the future, a huge aftermath will probably blow through the entire Arcadia, including the Shouen Empire.

“Yes.....”

Today was a peaceful day that made my head thump.
