Chapter 51 New Ability (3)


    Appearance of a unique grade item named ‘Blood Addiction''.


    That was a big issue for users, but the nickname of the seller who registered the item caused more controversy.


    [Seller: Dex]


    “Dex? Are you talking about that dex?”


    “why? Who is that?”


    “You don’t even know Dex? One man invincible! You’re a reclusive genius gamer who makes fun of pro gamers like they’re children!”


    “...I don’t know, do you?”


    “Hya.... I was so sad when the League of Legends ended, but when I was wondering where I was going to dive, I realized that I came over to Arcadia.”


    “...is that such a fuss?”


    The reaction of a friend who is overly enthusiastic about someone he doesn''t even know well and his eyes shine as if he''s excited. He couldn''t understand it, but the status of Dex''s name among game lovers was huge and brilliant.


    “After seeing what Dex has done in other games, you can''t help but be a fan, right? A true legend.”


    Completely destroying a huge guild that seemed to dominate the entire game server alone,pletely clearing a dungeon that was reputed to be absolutely impossible to attack, and single-handedly defeating a world boss that was difficult to attack even with 100 people working together. He left behind achievements worthy of being talked about as legends by everyone.


    People who saw the seller''s nickname registered in the auction house started to go crazy.


    The return of the legend of Dex.

    [The item''s bidding has been suspended by the administrator.]


    [Please contact the customer center for this information.]


    However, the main character, who is enthusiastic about it, frowned at the message that suddenly appeared.


    “what? Why is the bidding stopped?”


    A sale that went up to a price of over 5500 gold. However, the bid price was nowhere to be found, and the item had disappeared without a trace, with only a cancetion history remaining.


    Evaporation of an item.


    However, Jaeyoung, who confirmed through the message that this was the work of the gamepany, clicked his tongue.


    “Tsk... Is it because the item performance is too fraudulent? I thought they would intervene at some level, but they handle it this way.”


    Jae-young roughly guessed it, but didn''t know that he would prescribe such an extreme drug. Of course, he himself knew that the item itself boasted ridiculous performance, but he didn''t expect that he wouldpletely freeze the transaction and collect the item in this way, so he thought it was a little too much.


    “master? Why is your face so rotten all of a sudden?”


    Tan tilts his head at Jaeyoung, who suddenly frowns. Jaeyoung said to him, waving his hand as if it was nothing.


    “not a big deal. Just because something bothered me... I''m going out for a while, so don''t fight with El and stay calm.”


    Every time they disconnect ande back, Tan and L are fighting each other for a long time. Jaeyoung was nagging each other to fight moderately, but the fight between the two never seemed to stop.


    “Why are you guys so hypocritical? Admit it honestly. You guys aren''t being nice, you''re just pretending to be nice.”


    “Hey, is it an undeniable truth and fact that we are much nobler than those devils who can’t even pretend to be nice?”


    “hey! Are all angels noble? Don''t I know the ugly things you guys did? Even though they are worse than us, they pretend to be clean by themselves.”


    “Shut up, no matter what, it’s true that we are better than you guys.”


    “You damn chicken!”


    These two are tapping each other with a slightly different but simr repertoire each time. It wasn''t a life-or-death decision, however, but after watching the two growling, Jaeyoung ended the connection. And soon, I made a call through Arcadia''s customer center written on the capsule. Without knowing at all how things were going on there.


    * * *


    “What the hell are you saying if you don’t give me any relevant information?”


    Oh Jong-su, the team leader of Arcadia''s nning and economy team. He questioned, unable to hide his bewilderment at the instructions given by the higher department.


    “Have you not seen the performance of the item? It''s not something you can normally acquire. We need to check the y history and user information to see how we acquired it, and make sure there are no problems, but we can''t give you anything... Isn''t that telling us not to work?”


    Yang Chang-sik, manager of Arcadia Operations Division 1, who oversees the nning and economy team.


    He let out a deep sigh as if he had a headache and exined it to him again.


    “So... it''s impossible to ess information about the user named Dex from our side at all? Won''t you give me the information I have now? They said they couldn’t give it to you because they had no information to give!”


    Restriction of ess to Information.


    It was one of the most frequent problems encountered when working at Arcadia Co., Ltd. In particr, regarding user information, I don''t know what standard it was, but the information ess rights for each user werepletely different.


    “Especially Dex... I personally checked that user, and the restriction on ess to information ispletely prohibited. As well as personal information, I couldn’t ess even the user’s status window.”


    “That means...”


    User information that even his boss, General Manager Yang Chang-sik, cannot ess. There are very few cases simr to that, but it was not non-existent, so Team Manager Oh Jong-soo was able to guess the meaning.


    “okay. I''m not sure, but it''s probably a user who got a hidden ss. Or a ranker.”


    There are countless jobs in Arcadia. Among them, there were hidden jobs that opened only when certain conditions were met.


    “That... who is it? ck me Dragon of Darkness this time? Did you know that monitoring has be extremely difficult since he changed his job to the hidden ss? They still don’t even know how they got to the hidden ss.”


    It is a restricted state in which even the y log cannot be checked until the person himself discloses it. Therefore, the management team as well as numerous development teams were having difficulties in figuring out the circumstances of the situation.


    “Then this user named Dex is also a hidden ss user?”


    “Yeah... From a rough guess, he looks like a production user. Judging from the fact that they created an item grade that didn’t exist before.”


    An item of the only grade that was neither developed nor nned. However, seeing that the only (Only-One) grade was newly created through the sudden update notice, I could be sure that this update was probably triggered by a user called Dex.


    “First of all, since there are still inquiries rted to the suspension of the auction, please let go of the items you stopped bidding on.”


    “I... that''s...”


    At the manager''s request to release him again, team leader Oh Jong-soo evaded his words with a puzzled expression.


    “what? why?”


    Manager Yang Chang-sik asks with anxious eyes at Team Leader Oh Jong-soo''s reaction. When he heard everything about him, he cried out in amazement.


    “The item was confiscated? Why are you taking it without user consent!”


    “No... First of all, it''s obviously an item with ridiculous performance, so of course it''s an item made with a bug...”


    “Ha..... no ha...”


    Confiscation of the item. One of the most powerful powers the management has, but one that cannot be wielded at will. The fact that the item that was already being sold at auction was taken out at will beyond taking it down was also an issue that could escte the matter if it was taken as a problem.


    “How do I do it?”


    “First... log in to the game and send a messenger to that user. No problem, I''ll send you the item again, so where are you now.....”


    Beep- I


    was talking about the phone suddenly ringing. The manager stopped talking and picked up the receiver.


    “hello.”


    [hello. This is Han Mi-yeon from the customer center team. Is Team Leader Oh Jong-soo there?]


    “Yes, I am in a meeting right now. What are you doing...?”


    [A customer is connecting the phone..... He said that the item registered in the auction house had evaporated and he wanted to speak directly with the person in charge, so I called to confirm... You were in a meeting. sorry. Then ask me to call againter.....]


    “Wait! Wait!”


    Yang Chang-sik and team manager Oh Jong-soo, who were listening to the phone call in speaker mode, shouted at the same time, regardless of who said it first. Then they exchanged nces, and then spoke in a calm voice.


    “Call me, please. We will talk on our side.”


    [Ah yes. Then I''ll connect you. Wait a minute.....]


    In response to the strong reaction of the two, Miyeon answered in an embarrassed voice and handed the phone over.


    The call switched with a brief melody. Then a blunt male voice began to be heard.


    [Hello?]


    “Yes! Hello, this is Arcadia''s operation team. He said that he had an inquiry with us...”


    [Yes. The item auction was canceled and disappeared altogether, but the message said that the administrator did it, so contact the customer center.]


    “Ah! Yes, about that part. It was because the performance of the item was performance, so there were a few things to check. You don''t have to worry because we''ll return it to you as soon as that part is confirmed.”


    [What confirmation?]


    “Yes.... First of all, can you briefly tell us how you obtained the item?”


    Users with limited ess to information. That''s why Yang Chang-sik, the general manager, considered the call this time as a golden opportunity.


    ‘It''s easier to respondter if I dig up as much information as possible.''


    As a user who has already created-destroying fraudulent items, he tried to find out as much information as possible about how to create such items, but unfortunately, his opponent was not a very easygoing person.


    [...Why do you ask me that?]


    “Yes...?”


    Manager Yang Chang-sik was speechless at thepletely unexpected reaction.


    [Isn’t it something you can learn about the acquisition path of an item just by checking my y record? I don''t think you need to ask me about that.....]


    “Uh... that''s it. First of all, I have to determine whether or not the item was created due to a bug, so I ask...” [I


    thought the reason for forcibly recalling the item was because it was just too fraudulent and I thought selling it was over the line. ... You are saying that you retrieved the item because you couldn''t tell if it was a bug or if it was a normal item.]


    “No, that''s not it.....”


    Manager Yang Chang-sik feels like he''s stripped naked whenever he says something. However, the person on the phone asked in a quiet voice as if he had noticed.


    [That means.... Are you saying that even the gamepany can''t check the record of my y?]


    A question that hits the mark. In response to that question, Manager Yang Chang-shik unknowingly strongly denied the fact.


    “Could that be? It''s all confirmed and we know about it! Does it make sense that we can''t confirm that?”


    [is it so? Then what kind of job am I ying?]


    “.....”


    Yang Chang-sik, general manager, had nothing to say about that question. Knowing for himself that if he spoke more, he would only be more pitiful, so he twitched his mouth, but couldn''t say anything more.


    [Well... I''ll get it right now. I came to get this item back. I got a very good piece of information. Enough.....]


    “Wait a minute!”


    He is about to end the call leaving room for something ominous toe. Manager Yang Chang-sik hurriedly called and stopped him, trying to think of something to say, but nothing came to mind.


    [why? Do you have anything else to say?]


    “That''s it... Aren''t you taking the items we retrieved?”


    A well-crafted question. But in the receiver, he giggled and hung up the phone with one really disturbingst word.


    [Ah... just take that. You can make more simr ones and sell them.]
