Chapter 105 The Changing World (3)


    Researcher Kang Pil-joon works as a researcher in Arcadia''s R&D team. He sat in the office of Professor Kim Tae-hun, his advisor and mentor during his graduate school days, and looked at a student sitting in front of him with a nervous expression.


    Department of Computer Engineering.... No, Jae-Young Yoon, a freshman in the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering. Originally, he would have boasted triumphantly as a distant senior, but he was the one who was regretful here, so he was in a hurry to notice Jae-young.


    “Are you saying you want me to participate as a subject in a research project?”


    Jaeyoung is making a confused expression. Seeing him as if he would reveal his intention of refusal at any moment, Piljun said urgently.


    “There is nothing strange about being a test subject! It''s just that you just have to experience the things we develop. Nothing dangerous or anything like that at all.”


    “Hmm...”


    92.89% synchro rate.


    I couldn''t measure it again with a precision instrument, but Jaeyoung''s synchro rate, which came out with a portable measuring instrument, was a phenomenal figure that I couldn''t keep my mouth shut no matter how much I looked at it.


    [Bring that student to ourb right away. I don''t care if you bow down or kidnap and bring me back, so bring me back at any cost.] The


    head of the research center, who was informed of the results, was shocked and bluffed him, telling him to bring him right away. Jaeyoung has tremendous value as a test subject. But whether he knew it or not, he still had a puzzled look on his face.


    ‘Wouldn''t it be revealed if I went there?''


    The opponent is none other than a full-time employee of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Worried that if he followed him without knowing anything, the fact that he was Dex would be discovered and buried somewhere without a rumor, Jaeyoung did not want to ept his sorrowful request.


    “sorry. No matter how much you think about it, a little bit about such an experiment...”


    Jae-young tried to express his intention of refusal as politely as possible. However, researcher Kang Pil-joon''s behavior blocked Jae-young''s mouth, as if he had noticed him.


    fluff.


    “please! please just once! You don’t have to participate as a research subject, so pleasee to theb just once!”


    Pil-joon knelt down and bowed his head to the floor to ejacte. Professor Kim Tae-hoon shouted in bewilderment with round eyes at his sudden action.


    “Why is this friend suddenly like this?”


    “Professor please... If I can’t take this friend, the head of the research center will really kill me. No, I might just get my head cut at thepany.”


    He begged Jaeyoung''s pants crotch with a determined expression that he was going to hit Bae-jin, no matter how much pressure he had been under at thepany.


    “please. huh? Why don''t you show your face just once without being so stubborn? Still, they''re seniors from the same school. If I get fired from thispany, I will have to sit down on the street.”


    He ejactes with a crying face as if he is really about to cry. Because of his desperate look, even Professor Kim Tae-hun couldn''t bear to be angry at the action and asked Jae-young with a face full of apology.


    “I’m sorry for Jaeyoung, but... can you help that poor student just once? Seeing you ejacte like that, it seems like there are a lot of inner circumstances that you can’t talk about.”


    He has a title that would be looked upon with envy wherever he goes. However, Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh and said at the sight of him sitting on the floor begging and begging as if he had abandoned his pride in thisb.


    “Haa... I get it right now. I understand, so please stop this.”


    Researcher Kang Pil-joon is holding the crotch of his pants with both hands. Jaeyoung said, feeling that it was not a very pleasant experience to have a grown man grabbing his pants crotch.


    “I really? thank you! really!”


    Rejoicing at those words, Pil-joon hurriedly stood up and shouted thank you over and over again. However, Jaeyoung did not respond to his words and asked.


    “So when and where should I go?”


    Jae-young wants to check the location and ce. However, Pil-Jun''s answer was beyond the expectations of him and Professor Tae-Hun Kim.


    “Are you... busy right now?”


    “yes....?”


    “If you''re not busy, you can still do it now...” ”


    .....”


    It''s not like you''re calling a friend in the middle of the night to eat fried chicken. Professor Kim Tae-hun and Jae-young only made absurd expressions at his attitude of looking at the extension with an embarrassed expression, as if he was embarrassed by the current situation.


    * * *


    Arcadia Co., Ltd. is responsible for the service of Arcadia, a virtual reality game.


    As it holds the title of mankind''s first virtual reality game, the academic status of thepany''s research department was enormous.


    - Presented 3 papers on Arcadia virtual reality technology.


    -The Research and Development Team of Arcadia Co., Ltd., a topical research team that the academic world is paying attention to.


    -A research team rejected even by a Harvard professor shows the high status of virtual reality technology?


    The R&D team of Arcadia Co., Ltd. is actively conducting practical research on virtual reality and rted technologies. It is a ce that is receiving a lot of attention from the scientific and academic world to the extent that it is almost certain that this year''s Nobelureate wille from this ce.


    And Kim Moon-sik, the head of the research team who leads this research team. He looked at the young man brought by researcher Kang Pil-jun with sharp eyes and said.


    “Is this your friend? The student you were talking about?”


    “yes! That''s right!”


    Researcher Kang Pil-joon answers with a tense face as if his military discipline is upright. In response to his answer, Research Director Kim Moon-shik nodded, looked over at Jae-young carefully, and held out his hand.


    “Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit us. My name is Moonsik Kim, the head of the research department.”


    “yes. My name is Jaeyoung Yoon.”


    “Yeah... but this person...?”


    A middle-aged man standing behind Jaeyoung and Piljun. It was a face he had never seen before, but he held out his hand with a weing expression as if he knew him well.


    “My name is Kim Tae-hoon, the student’s advisor. I was really impressed with your papers, and it is a great honor to meet you like this.”


    “Ah, that’s right. Nice to meet you.”


    The head of theb nodded at the word Jae-young''s advisor and shook his hand. Professor Kim Tae-hun asked him with a curious expression.


    “You seem to be very interested in my students. Even though Pil-joon asked him to arrange it, is there a special reason for that?”


    synchro rate.


    I wondered why Professor Kim Tae-Hoon was so interested in him because he didn''t know exactly what it was and how important Jae-Young''s measurement results were. However, Director Kim Moon-sik of the research department did not give any specific answer to his question.


    “ha ha ha. Let''s start with simple measurements again. You said you were a student Jaeyoung Yoon....? I heard you don''t y Arcadia... but you still don''t?”


    “yes. Capsules are too expensive.”


    The mostmon reason for not ying Arcadia. It cost at least 10 million won, and since there were many cases in which people of the same age as Jae-young had not yet encountered Arcadia, Kim Moon-sik, head of the research department, nodded as if it was not a big deal.


    “It’s not like that. We''ll be releasing lower priced products soon, so give it a try if you can afford it. First of all... would you like to lie down in that capsule over there?”


    A capsule that looks exactly like Arcadia''s connector Dreamer. At the words of Director Kim Moon-sik to lie down in it, Jae-young looked at it with strange eyes and asked.


    “What is that?”


    “It’s a synchro rate meter. It is possible to measure the process of Jaeyoung''s brain interacting with theputer much more precisely than what Researcher Kang Pil-joon took to Seomin University.”


    Kim Moon-sik, head of research, looks at Jae-young with sharp eyes while exining. Jaeyoung could feel the unknown disbelief in his eyes.


    “To be honest, I think your sync rate numbers are incorrect measurements. Of the tens of thousands of participants we have measured so far, no one exceeds 30%, and it is realistically hard to believe that the number exceeds 90%.”


    A situation where there is no one in the world whose synchro rate exceeds 30%. Therefore, Director Kim Moon-shik could not believe the results of Jae-young brought by researcher Kang Pil-joon. So I wanted to take this opportunity to see it with my own two eyes. Whether this ridiculous synchro rate is fiction or real.


    “Prepare for synchro rate measurement and put it in precision measurement mode. Let’s set the utilization rate to 100%.”


    “yes! All right.”


    The researchers moved in perfect order at his words and prepared for the operation of the machine. Jaeyoungy down naturally in the capsule and watched the measuring device operate.


    [Synchronization precision measurement mode activated. EEG signal confirmation with the subject. Adjustment.... Done.]


    Weiyiing.


    A high pitched sound began to be heard in Jaeyoung''s ears. Jaeyoung closed her eyes at the clear female voice that came along with the sleep inducement sound for virtual reality ess.


    [Simtion starts.]


    * * *


    Precise measurement simtion of synchro rate.


    When Jaeyoung logged on to the simtion and opened his eyes, what he saw was nothing but a white, endless, shapeless space.


    “Hmm... that’s unusual.”


    A state of wearing a suit like tights made of strange material. Jaeyoung looked down at his hands and moved his body around to check their condition. And then one notification sound.


    [Step 1 of synchro rate measurement. 10.... 9.... 8.... 7.....]


    Wheein.


    A red ball appeared in the air along with the words Stage 1. With that, the countdown began.


    [2.... 1.... start.]


    As soon as the countdown is


    over, the red ball flies towards Jaeyoung at a furious speed with the word start. Jaeyoung dodged the ball with an instinctive movement.


    “what? Are you just avoiding it?”


    As soon as Jaeyoung moves his body to avoid it, the ball changes its trajectory again and flies fiercely. In response, Jaeyoung continued to avoid the ball as if brushing it. How many minutes had passed? Suddenly, a clear notification sound was heard.


    [Clear Stage 1. Stage 2 standby. 2 minutes remaining.]


    A red ball stopped with a beep indicating that stage 1 had been cleared. Then, with the word that it was going to step 2, an additional ball appeared from somewhere and was floating in the air.


    A ball doubled.


    Looking at it, Jaeyoung smiled as he realized what this simtion was asking of him.


    “It’s like a game to avoid poop...”


    A survival game where you survive by avoiding countless bullets. A game where you find gaps for survival that exist somewhere and hold out for as long as possible. During the short waiting time of 2 minutes, Jaeyoung began to warm up with her eyes shining.


    Wooddeuk.


    Jaeyoung smiles as he loosens his joints. His eyes were full of triumph.


    “Let’s see how far we can survive.”


    [5.... 4.... 3.... 2.... 1.... start.]


    Sheeah.


    Two balls flying at breakneck speed at the same time as the word start. Jaeyoung, who jumped to avoid them, realized. It means that your body is moving as you want as you imagined differently from reality.


    “Ha ha ha ha ha! slow!”


    Jae-young, who seems to have already fully adapted to the simtion, is showing absurd movements and avoiding the chase of the balls. It wasn''t just simply throwing the ball away, but it was even using the trajectory of the two balls in reverse to induce a collision with each other and make them stray in a strange path.


    “Oh oh! Is this single jump possible?”


    Jaeyoung, who has no stepping feet in the air, changes her path in an instant as if jumping. After avoiding the ball attack, many ideas for avoiding the ball were springing up in his head.


    “If this is the case, there must be infinite ways to evade in the air, right? It''s sweet.”


    Jae-young started to enjoy measurement as if it were a game. While he was ying freely in the simtion, those watching from the outside were astonished.


    “This crazy.....”


    The simtion, which boasted the highest synchro rate, reached its limit in the 3rd stage. However, Jaeyoung was running rampant even at stage 5, as if he wereughing.
