Chapter 258 The Korean continent is tough!


    Rooftop of Arcadia Korea branch.


    People with coffee and cigarettes were huddled here and there in that secret space that relieved unspeakable grievances and resentment that had been stored in the heart, regardless of which department was covered.


    “Haa... I really can''t breathe.”


    Manager Park Yang-cheol works in the public affairs office. He sighed deeply with a tired face as he picked up the coffee he had just drawn from the vending machine.


    “Reporters.... The atmosphere is a joke, isn’t it?”


    “Don’t talk. If you don''t give anything away, it''s really on the level of being eaten. The foreign press continues to make international calls. It''s very uproar, it''s uproar.”


    Manager Park drank the hot coffee in one breath as if feeling frustrated. He opened his mouth as he felt his throat and chest heat up for a moment.


    “How is the atmosphere in the nning room?”


    “Well... As you know, the high-ranking people were anxious to avoid responsibility. When the event seems to have been a great sess, they say that they worked hard, and when they stick a spoon, now they are busy ignoring everything and ming the bombs.”


    “okay....? Whew. I''m really sorry, I''m really sorry. You take on all the hardships of suffering, but how can things not work out like this?”


    Official Bomb Division Crisis Management Response Team in Korea.


    They were the protagonists who nned the world''s first integrated event, the World''s Best Martial Arts Competition, and were the heroes who prevented President Lee Mi-yeon''s insane n to bring out the bamboo spear and show it to users. was changed at once.


    -78% of the final winners were confirmed as Korean users!


    -Winners concentrated on a specific continent. What is the cause?


    - Suspicion of biased operation. Arcadia''s pro-national move?


    - All abnormal yers turned out to be Korean users.


    - Silent Arcadia. What are their real intentions?


    - Worldwide rification demands. Do you disclose user information?


    The Dark me Dragon, the conductor of death.


    Ignis, the Mage of Heat Wave.


    Brilliant Sword Arthur.


    I also stepped on lego in secret.


    Starlight Witch Ste.


    Blood Warrior Ax Taste Gong Du.


    I am Yatongson, the cksmith of the mes.


    All Weapon Master Casis.


    .


    .


    .


    Those who were famous as Korean rankers all upied the rankings and monopolized the championship reward.


    Even with that, outstanding rankers and their fans around the world who were aiming for the championship were dissatisfied, but there was someone else who set off the bomb.


    Circle 1 Archmage Angelina.


    Despite being a mage, she showed melee fighting power equal to that of a ranker-level warrior.


    Numerous wizard users fiercely protested against her move, ignoring the implicit national rule that she did not cross over other industries, holding a hard and vicious iron bar and staff in both hands and splitting countless wizards'' earthenware pots in half.


    -Shit! this is a foul Does an iron rod make sense in the battle of holy wizards?


    -I''m not a warrior, but the melee damage is filthy, so why is the magic like that again?


    -Is the 1st circle magic stronger than any 3rd circle? More than that, why is the casting speed of that crazy bitch like that!


    -Is there a hidden ss like that? What! What the hell is this!


    -This is definitely a naive and dirty ploy from Korea! It must have been some nasty trick to monopolize the reward in this way!


    Unlike famous rankers whose names are widely known, Angelina has not been known until now. Since the Great Battle of Jukchang, she has been ying quietly without rumors, almost as if in seclusion, so the majesty that she first revealed at the World''s Greatest Martial Arts Tournament shocked everyone who saw her. While creating a lot of suspicion and controversy.


    “I mean... Honestly, regarding the user named Angelina, is there any information we have figured out during the Jukchang Daejeon event? So there was some internal exnation and understanding. The problem is that Choco Pie Joe.”


    Spirit King Summoner Choco Pie Joea.


    The owner of a channel called Destroyer''s daily life, and a user hidden in a veil who has not been able to ess any relevant user information from the beginning when the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. recognized him. The number ofints and information inquiries rted to him was so enormous that it was iparable to anyone else.


    -That ignorant bastard. What is it?


    -Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm King of spirits. Do you want to summon the king of spirits now?


    -No, what kind of spirit king was the next door neighbor? does this make sense?


    - This gamepany is really running like shit. Hey, you should do it to the extent of being biased. This dung beetle.


    -What kind of bastard caught the bnce? Shouldn''t even the person in charge dogeza have to fuck it?


    -Does this seem like something that can be passed on just by shutting your nose and staying still? What''s the game management like?


    Choco Piejoa ignited the envy and jealousy of irrationality and partiality that were buried deep in the hearts of users all over the world beyond Korea. Suspicion and anger about hispletely iprehensible y naturally went to all branches of Arcadia Co., Ltd.


    “No, not just in Korea, but literally from users all over the world, inquiries and criticisms are pouring in. Other branches are also asking for rification on the users involved, but they can''t provide any information. Do you think this makes sense? Right now, even the branch managers are working hard to resolve this situation.”


    Choco Pie Joa is thoroughly wrapped in a veil without even the slightest bit of information. Even the executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., the operatingpany, did not know the information about him, so they had no choice but to be beaten without taking any action despite the users'' boiling requests for rification.


    “Haa..... Why do strange people keep popping up from somewhere?”


    “I mean... I think only Korea has a lot of crazy people.”


    Korea released the game half a yearter than the US.


    However, seeing the users who showed great results and yed an active role in this World''s Best Martial Arts Competition, the two were able to experience the uniqueness of Koreans once again.


    I don''t know anything else, but I can''t lose when ites to games.


    If you don''t y a game for even a day, your hands will grow thorns.


    Life isn''t worth living if you don''t y games.


    Korean users who upied the PC game world in the past, fiercely enthusiastic and immersed inpetition more than anyone else. Their characteristics were equally expressed in virtual reality.

    Arcadia Co., Ltd. presidents meeting.


    The meeting, which started in a cold and threatening atmosphere, continued to produce a situation resembling a hearing, and proceeded with fierce attacks against Executive Director Kwon Myung-han and President Lee Mi-yeon.


    [I have many doubts about the oue of the event. In events nned and led by Korea, Korea monopolizes most of the rewards. Don''t you have a reasonable doubt?]


    [This is data from analyzing the yers'' strength in this event. ording to this graph here, the average performance of Koreans is at least 23% higher than that of other countries. Do you have anything to say about this?]


    [Hidden ss... No, I doubt that the hidden content was nned too heavily on the Korean continent. Isn''t it necessary to conduct apany-wide audit to see if the difficulty level has been drastically lowered or if artificial information leakage is urring? Otherwise, how can such disproportionate statistical resultse out?]


    [If you look at this data here, you''ll know, but in the case of the Korean continent...]


    I won''t let you go this time.


    The branch managers who brought countless amounts of reports and data filled with venom and malice. Executive Director Kwon Myung-han broke into a cold sweat when the branch heads of each branch pointed out the problems of the Korean continent and this event on a scientific basis, item by item, as if they had made thorough preparations rather than just raising suspicions.


    “Eh..... that''s...”


    Even though it was a burn, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han felt tremendous pressure from dozens of branch managers looking at him. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was watching him, opened his mouth on behalf of managing director Myung-han Kwon.


    “That''s because users in maind Korea pursued more diverse y.”


    At the words of President Lee Mi-yeon, the eyes that had been fixed on Executive Director Kwon Myung-han returned all at once.


    [What do you mean by that, boss?]


    [Various games...?]


    The branch managers of each continent ask back with puzzled faces as if they don''t understand President Lee Mi-yeon''s words. Lee Mi-yeon, president of thepany, began to tell them about an incident that had happened in the Korean continent in the past.


    “For an unknown reason at the beginning of the Arcadia Korean continent, the abilities of the slimes near the beginner vige were abnormally adjusted. And soon, the first main scenario began, and slimes began to raid and attack the beginner vige.”


    The first main scenario, Slime''s Wrath.


    An incident that created an unprecedented catastrophe, the destruction of a novice vige, as well as the culprit in which the Korean branch suffered a great deal of criticism. Seeing CEO Lee Mi-yeon mentioning the incident, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han put on a puzzled expression.


    “And as a result, the base that forced beginners to start points waspletely destroyed, and since then, users on the Korean continent randomly scattered all over the continent and started ying.”


    unlimited freedom. infinite possibilities.


    I didn''t know it at the time, but that small change brought about a tremendous butterfly effect and created a huge upheaval.


    [This is a town with a lot of thieves..... Do you want to be a thief too?]


    [Yes? What do you want to carve? Starlight? What kind of bullshit is that?]


    [Eh..... The only job you can change to is... a farmer? What kind of fucking town is there?]


    [Fucking hahahahahaha. I''m level 1, but all the monsters around me are 40. Did you make this to hunt now? You fucking gamepanies.]


    Viges all over the continent where beginners don''t care at all. Being trapped in a town dotted with powerful monsters and being forced into a production job, or walking in a different direction from his initial n in a town where a specific job is specialized. Amid numerous variables and changes, Korean users walked apletely different path from other continents.


    “Vocational Diversity. And the belligerence of users. The most important.... The discovery rate of hidden contents is overwhelmingly high in Korea, which is iparable to any other continent. To make this easier for you to understand... Um... Alice.”


    [I will design the data on the y patterns of Korean users as a timeline.]


    At the words of President Lee Mi-yeon, Alice puts something on the big screen. After a while. As they watched a short timeline video appearing on the screen, silence erupted from the presidents'' mouths.


    [Huh.....]


    [Oh...?]


    Unlike other continents that start at the center or at a specific point and exhaust the hidden contents in a limited way, hidden contents are found and consumed simultaneously on all continents. . It was an element that could grow the fastest and gave it a uniqueness and strength that differentiated it from other users, so the amount of hidden content discovered by Korean users who started ying from all over the continent was overwhelming to a level that was iparable to other continents.


    [So.... Are you saying that the reason for this strength is that it is not limited to beginner viges, but that it is possible to start randomly from all over the continent?] Emily, the head of the US branch, asked


    . At those words, President Lee Mi-yeon nodded with a small smile.


    “It''s not necessarily like that. The Korean continent, personally, is noisier and more chaotic than anywhere else, and it is full of tremendous pain and confusion for users... If I had to put it that way, it''s like a demon''s cave.”


    “Sir boss.”


    [....?]


    [....?]


    Managing Director Myung-Han Kwon and the branch managers were taken aback by President Lee Mi-Yeon''s outspoken expression. But she wasn''t wrong.


    Slime invasion.


    The emergence of Argamers.


    witch hunt.


    continental war.


    Korea has already had several major events that have had an impact on users and the entire continent. Through these harsh and harsh trials, Korean users became stronger and stronger.


    [These fucking warlocks! We''ll see youter.]


    [You have to get stronger quickly if you don''t want to fall for those goddamn religious people again.]


    [Uuuuu! ck panties!]


    [Hunt! hunt! The level is the best!]


    [Uuuuuuuuuu! Let''s see who wins, you bastards!]


    Korean users are morebative than any other continent. When you see such enthusiastic y propensity. For President Lee Mi-yeon, the current results were unreasonable.


    “It’s a harsh world where you can’t survive unless you be strong by hunting and adventuring with the determination to die.
