Chapter 37 What is synchro rate? (2)


    Although the meaning has faded, students havee to know their own synchro rate. Their murmuring continued until lunchtime.


    “Hey, what number did youe out with?”


    “me? 15%. Is it just average?”


    “Ah, I’m 12%. Howe there are no people over 20%?”


    “That researcher said that. What is the highest person in the world at 26%? Since I said that much, I guess there are none among us.”


    “What is not there? There he is.”


    While eating, they look at Jaeyoung who is sitting far away. In the eyes of these groups who nced at him, abination of emotions came to mind.


    Envy Envy Envy Jealousy Anger.


    The regret of those who learned that the synchro rate, which is the most important indicator in virtual reality, is normal, no different from other ordinary people. And the synchro rate is overwhelmingly high, and even the researcher who came out directly from Arkady is excited and interested in having an outstanding talent. In the gaze of people looking at Jaeyoung, through this ss, various emotions were mixed differently than before. Except for the one person sitting in front of Jaeyoung.


    “Hey Jaeyoung. Isn''t today''s lunch delicious?”


    Jae-gyun is eating his lunch with a good appetite, no different from usual. I always feel it, but his eating habits, which he pours out as if he were drinking rather than chewing, are still a subject of research. Jaeyoung thought about something for a while, then put down the spoon and asked a little seriously.


    “You don’t care much?”


    “what?”


    “About my sync rate. Everyone is whispering here and there right now. You probably have something you want to ask me too.”


    “What do you want to ask?”


    Even after the lecture was already over, the question baptism was pouring in, albeit for a short time. As if there was a secret to his high synchro rate, Jae-gyun was different from the other motives who were inquiring into Jae-young''s daily life. He doesn''t even mention anything about the test he received earlier. Jaekyun thought for a moment at Jaeyoung''s question, then shook his head.


    “Is there anything else?”


    “...No?”


    “ok. I don’t even understand what exactly the concept of synchro rate is, and there’s no problem with me ying Arcadia anyway, and there’s no particr difort in using virtual reality, so should I care?”


    In the test, 17% showed a satisfactory grade. Unlike those who want to get ahead of others, he exhibits a really simple thought process.


    “And you don’t even y Arcadia. If you have a high synchro rate while ying a game, even if you want to ask what exactly is different, there’s no way you know that?”


    Jae-gyun has no interest in the synchro rate of anyone including himself. That''s why Jaeyoungughed when he saw Jaeyoung''s ignorant synchro rate epted without much thought.


    “Is that so...”


    “Sure! I''m curious though. Ifter you y Arcadia, what will happen...”


    “I''m still doing it.”


    “....what?”


    with her daughter.


    Jae-gyun froze as if he had received a great shock, even dropping a spoon. Seeing Jae-gyun like that, Jae-young smiled strangely and said.


    “It''s the first time I''m telling you, but Arcadia has been doing it for a long time.”


    Jaekyun, who was at a loss as if he had received a confession, looked at Jaeyoung and asked in an excited voice.


    “Really? Great! Would you like to hunt together then? I''ll go where you are! What''s your nickname?”


    Jae-Kyun is more interested in Arcadia than Synchro Rate. As soon as he found out that Jaeyoung was ying Arcadia, he started pouring out all sorts of questions like a rapid-fire cannon. However, Jaeyoung shook his head at Jaekyun''s words.


    “For now, hunting together seems a bit ambiguous because of the quest I’m breaking right now... I’ll tell youter when possible.”


    At Jaeyoung''s words, Jaekyun asked with a sullen expression.


    “okay? It''s a pity, but then I can''t help it.... Then, at least tell me your nickname. I''ll register you as a friend.”


    “My nickname? Um... my nickname is ‘Dex''.”


    “Dex? okay.”


    Jaekyun mumbles his nickname over and over again while concentrating on it as if he is going to engrave it in his head. Then, as if he suddenly realized something, he looked at Jaeyoung with wide, round eyes and asked.


    “Dex...? Maybe that Dex?”


    Jaekyun has been immersed inputer games since elementary school. Having spent a long time withputers while ying many online games, he knew the nickname Dex very well. A yer who sticks to only one nickname in numerous games regardless of genre, and left a mark in numerous incidents and idents in the game, leaving a ce as a legend. That''s what Dex is.


    One person invincible.


    Hermit Master.


    A genius hidden in a veil.


    Jaeyoung didn''t admit it, but Jaekyun hurriedly opened his bag and started taking out something. And what he took out was nothing but a note and arge magic marker.


    “...What is this?”


    Jae-young looks at Jae-kyun with a curious look as he holds out a note and magic stick to him. However, Jaekyun looked at Jaeyoung with eyes full of envy and respect and spoke in a more serious tone than ever.


    “Let me sign it for now.”


    * * *


    Ever since Jae-young revealed that he was Dex, Jae-gyun suffered greatly. Jaeyoung let out a sigh of regret as his attitude of worshiping him as if he were a god was extremely burdensome.


    “Haa.... Did you think you should have changed your nickname this time...?”


    A problem that arose as a result of insisting on the same nickname because it was annoying to name it every time. Promising not to reveal his nickname to others from now on, Jaeyoung turned on hisputer and connected to Arfandia to check the number of views of the recently uploaded video.


    -Number of views: 83089321


    Number of views approaching 80 million. The number of views, which exploded to the point where it was iparable to the previous video, had increased to the point of aiming for 100 million in a few days.


    “Hmm... After all, the effect is different because it''s on terrestrial TV.”


    The video is famous all over the world, with only subtitles written by someone in 23nguages. The reason for this was the GM Group, the biggest victim of this video.


    [Contrary to what Arcadia Co., Ltd. ims, our GM group has not directly intervened in this matter. However, we recently confirmed the circumstances in which a department within our group intervened in this matter because it judged that there was business feasibility while seeking a new business. ordingly, the headquarters also felt responsible and thoroughly conducted internal audits to ensure that this would not happen again...]


    I did, but I didn''t.


    It''s ironic, but it''s a situation that goes beyond the typical tail-cutting of ‘the management didn''t know at all about what a few executives inside the group were preparing.'' The video revealed by Jae-young received tremendous synergy and was a topic of discussion to the extent that it was reported on foreign broadcasts beyond terrestrial broadcasting.


    - The GM group is really trash.


    -Isn''t it necessary to arrest the person involved?


    -The guy above is over the line. It happened in the game, what kind of arrest investigation?


    -But you can make money like that in the game. amazing.


    -I know. What the hell is the scale of the economy in the game, so what trillion units are you talking about?


    Numerous stories were circting, from people cursing the GM Group to people defending what was wrong with the content in the game, and out of the question, how the game had such a vast economic scale. And even in this crowd, there were those who asked the most essential questions.


    -But what the hell is the owner of this channel, and how did he take a video like this?


    -that''s right. The two didn''t seem to recognize it at all, but did you use a stealth skill?


    -Didn''t you see the previous video? This guy is a total crazy scammer. I only made a few mine ves.


    -That''s why you''re stupid. Who wouldn''t read a contract before signing it?


    -You should try it once, you fucking XXX XXXX.


    -Nedano. Grab a pickaxe and go collect minerals.


    As expected, like the previous video, thement window quickly bes a gutter. After taking a quick look at people''s reactions, Jaeyoung went into channel management and checked the expected revenue for this month.


    [Daily Life of a Destroyer]


    -Channel Estimated Revenue: 1,423,400 won,


    14,000,000 won. It''s a huge figure that''s ridiculous to say that it''s a profit extracted from just two videos. Of course, it would be a one-time event, but it was also a proof that the ripple effect of the GM Group incident was enormous.


    “At this rate, I don’t have to worry about money anymore...”


    Additional ie that will continue toe in from the future through the contract with Baron Mikhail. In addition, I became convinced that I would not have to worry about paying capsule installments just by thinking about the ie of the videos I would upload whenever I had a chance on the channel.


    “If it doesn''t work, I''ll change the item with probability.”


    He didn''t really care if all of this didn''t pay. The possibility that Jaeyoung has. Tan and L greedily chase after him, drooling, always wanting to rip off that probability. The two of them were always ready to shove an extremely rare and expensive item into his mouth at the cost of probabilities.


    * * *


    The mansion of the Duke of Bergen, which has fallen into ruins.


    There were so many people gathered in this ce where not even a single de of life could be found.


    Jae-young, who ended the game near the duke''s mansion. While he was away, guards were standing guard in a fairly wide radius around the mansion with a stern look on their faces, probably because a lot had happened while he was away.


    “uh? master! Are you here?”


    “You are here.”


    As if they had been waiting, Tan and L appear from somewhere and follow behind them. Seeing the two of them, Jaeyoung asked.


    “Did anything happen while I was gone?”


    A formal, casual greeting thrown without much thought. However, Tan cynically rejected his greetings.


    “...Do you want nothing special to happen after you''ve done such a great job? Do you really have no conscience?”


    Tan looked at him with an expression as if he was saying that right now. He started chattering and telling Jaeyoung what had happened so far.


    “After you left, a royal investigation team was dispatched to investigate the situation. And after looking at the situation roughly, even those damned priests came and made a fuss.”


    “The priests?”


    “of course! Even if you choose, you chose the necromancer that humans hate the most and used it! They also brought in the most notorious Argamer and made a fuss about it. How can these guys stay still?”


    Rich argamer.


    A human who will confidently enter the TOP 10 among the worst beings recorded in history. Since he was a rtively recent being, his evil deeds were recorded in detail in the history books, and he remained the most vivid object of fear to people.


    “Anyway... I came and left all the fuss, but don''t even think about calling him out for a while! Then, those fucking chicken wing idiots say their head hurts when their eyes roll.”


    “Don’t worry, there won’t be anything to call you anyway because it’s too probable.”


    A bullet telling the priests not to provoke them. Jaejoong nodded his head as if agreeing with him. Then Tan muttered, showing an unfiltered expression of displeasure as if he was annoyed just thinking about it.


    “Anyway, even just looking at the chicken wings, there is a dirty feeling that can be felt instinctively. It''s as if the root itself has been eaten... Ugh! I hate just thinking about it.”


    Seeing Tan fiddling with his forearm as if he had grown chicken skin, L said pitifully.


    “Isn''t that what we''re saying when we look at damn bats like you, not us, that the root itself is bad?”


    “...Who said someone looked at someone and ate it! Shall I make it with chicken?”


    “like? Where should we try again?”


    Dark spheres and white torches naturally raised in each hand as if they had fought several times while Jaeyoung was gone. As if the strange tension between the two was now familiar, Jaeyoung watched the fight with interest. He was unaware of the great storm his actions would bring.
