Chapter 319 Chicken Game (1)

Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd.

She couldn’t hide her embarrassment at an uninvited guest who suddenly came to her without warning, but soon greeted him with a smile.

“oh. Student Jaeyoung, long time no see?”

“Hello boss. I came here because I had a few questions to ask. Can I have some time?”

Jae-young asks for some time, saying that he has a few questions to ask. Lee Mi-yeon waved her hand and said to the secretary who was looking at the situation with curious eyes behind him.

“I think we need to talk for a while, so please put off the next schedule for about 30 minutes. It doesn’t matter what you drink, so you don’t have to worry about it… Please crack down thoroughly.”

At President Lee Mi-yeon’s request to not let anyone in, the secretary nods and leaves. After the door was firmly closed, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked Jae-young to take a seat.

“What would you like to drink? coffee? car? Cola? We also have hot chocolate.”

“I’ll have coffee.”

Jae-young looked around the office with something meaningful in her eyes. And he said to the back of President Lee Mi-yeon, who was drinking coffee.

“It’s too late to say thank you before.”

“hmm? What?”

President Lee Mi-yeon asks Jae-young with a puzzled face at Jae-young’s sudden thank you. Jaeyoung looked at her with soft eyes and said.

“That day, a month ago.”

“ah. Is that it?”

President Lee Mi-yeon muttered as if she understood now. She handed the hot coffee to Jaeyoung and said with a smile.

“You don’t have to thank me. It was something we had to do anyway.”

“is that so?”

“yes. There is a separate investigation team working inside the company to prevent leaks about virtual reality technology. It was an intelligence obtained by chance while analyzing the subtle trends of the Japanese side that were recently identified by this side. The Japanese government is trying to recruit talented people who possess technologies related to Arcadia Co., Ltd. or have outstanding abilities related to virtual reality systems.”

President Lee Mi-yeon sips coffee as if it were nothing. She began to explain in detail the reason for what had happened to Jae-young, who was silently listening to her story without saying anything.

“However, all recruits of Arcadia Co., Ltd. are strictly within the protection and surveillance system of the respective country. The Japanese side must have felt a great burden to kidnap a person from our side so easily. And… in the midst of that, two people must have stood out.”

Jae-young and Jae-kyun are outstanding talents who are not affiliated with Arcadia Co., Ltd., but have more skills than anyone else in virtual reality technology. That’s why Jaeyoung shook his head and said that it was not so that they were targeted by the Japanese government.

“I understand why we were kidnapped. The only thing I don’t understand is…”

While taking a sip of coffee, Jaeyoung looked at President Miyeon with a calm look and asked.

“How did Arcadia know about it first and leak related information to the National Intelligence Service?”

President Lee Mi-yeon’s expression hardened for an instant at those words. She immediately asked Jaeyoung, who seemed to know everything, frowning.

“How did you know we leaked information?”

“If you ask Jaekyun and me at the National Intelligence Service, or if you roughly grasp the tone of conversation, a picture emerges. I deliberately asked a sneaky question.”

During the investigation, Jae-young smiled smirkingly, saying that he had found out through the judo newspaper, and he immediately asked with a cold look.

“So I wanted to ask the boss directly.”

A situation that could never happen if they did not monitor themselves in real time. So, Jae-young directly asked President Mi-yeon Lee.

“Why were you spying on me and Jaekyun?”

“…..”

President Lee Mi-yeon, who was only handling coffee cups with a serious face in response to Jae-young’s question. Then she turned on the TV, muttering in a low voice, and started flipping through the channels.

“Contrary to what Jaeyoung knew, this world runs more complicated. Nothing moves without cause and effect, and a real intention is hidden that is completely different from what we know on the surface. Like the recent complicated situation in Korea.”

[Next news.

While showing articles on the enormous incidents that occurred in that short period of time, President Lee Mi-yeon shook her head, saying that it was unavoidable.

“The Japanese government moves aggressively to steal technology in order to appease the feverish public sentiment inside. From the impeachment of the president, an unprecedented situation in the history of the constitution, to the administration that was completely paralyzed by it. On our side, we had no choice but to respond preemptively to any unforeseen threats.”

“So… at that time it was an unavoidable situation?”

“yes. I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you in advance, but… it was an unavoidable situation because it was internal confidential information. As a result, the concerns we predicted came true, but…”

President Lee Mi-yeon, who seems to have found some composure while sipping coffee, said with a strange smile.

“In fact, wouldn’t it be right to do something to protect a secret friend?”

Lee Mi-yeon, president of the company, replied that this was not illegal surveillance, but was done to protect a secret friend. Jaeyoung kept her mouth shut at her words, but soon smiled as if it was fun.

“That’s a very reliable secret friend.”

“You promised? He said that if you cooperate for me as much as possible in the game, I will be your strong support in real life.”

Jae-young thoroughly fulfilled his request to protect the Gael Federation and end the war as quickly as possible. Of course, in the process, it became more complicated and dizzy with numerous controversies and insane results, but as a result, it was true that the incident ended with minimal damage, so President Lee Mi-yeon drank coffee at once.

And Jaeyoung, who was staring at her like that, asked with a really curious face.

“I don’t know if I really know.”

“What?”

“I was wondering what the hell is the game called Arcadia that is doing it this far. If it’s a normal game, it won’t give a single user such a powerful influence, but even if it does, if it overdoes the game like this, the management will intervene right away and start adjusting the balance. Whether it’s a rollback or a portrait, I used all possible means and methods.”

Even when the beginner village was blown up by the slime attack.

Even when he turns into a lich who led the army of death and blows up a duke.

Even when there was a witch hunt that unilaterally slaughtered evil users.

From killing a dragon to resurrecting the World Tree and blowing up the imperial castle of the Shoen Empire with a giant mushroom cloud. Innumerable moments of destruction and upheaval that existed in the whole process.

From the point of view of users, Arcadia Co., Ltd. showed the true value of managing the end by neglecting the dizzying chaotic situation that caused all kinds of protests and complaints.

That’s why Jaeyoung looked at President Lee Miyeon and asked with a very curious face.

“Does it ‘can’t’ prevent me from doing things in the game or ‘don’t’? What kind of Arcadia do those ‘top developers’ want?”

unlimited freedom. infinite possibilities.

Based on these two mottos, Arcadia Co., Ltd. leaves everything to flow by users. However, President Lee Mi-yeon sighed with a complicated expression at Jae-young’s question.

“Um… I’ve said this before, but I can’t stop Jaeyoung. In the case of top developers, it would be possible… but it seems virtually impossible.”

“Why?”

In response to Jae-young’s question that he didn’t understand that, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered while shaking her head with a dark expression as if she had a terrible imagination.

“That would be tantamount to calling in a tiger to stop a pack of wolves.”

It might be the worst choice to attract an existence that could lead to a greater chaos in Arcadia and possibly a huge disaster that would lead to the destruction of the virtual world itself. That’s why CEO Lee Mi-yeon said to Jae-young, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression.

“I don’t know what the top developers think. I’ve never asked, and to be honest, I’m not interested. The important thing for me is to prevent this Arcadia from falling into catastrophe, while quelling users’ anger and continuing the service stably.”

I don’t know how long that will be possible, but President Lee Mi-yeon sighs deeply, suppressed by a sense of mission to do something. She said to Jae-young, who was still trying to say something, with a look of incomprehension.

“In conclusion, what I would like to say is that Jaeyoung should enjoy Arcadia as he normally would. It’s a matter for me and the staff to think about what to do after that…. It doesn’t matter what you do in the game, so don’t give up and just play as you please.”

Ellis judged him to be the final content and the most important variable to prevent the later crisis that could lead to the destruction of Arcadia.

That’s why CEO Lee Mi-yeon looked at Jae-young and said.

‘My Jaeyoung… Do whatever you want!’

Unlike before, Jae-young put on a strangely confused expression at President Lee Mi-yeon’s straightforward words, saying, “Let’s run rampage as much as we want.”

“Can I really do whatever I want?”

“yes. Do whatever you want.”

“What if I said I would completely blow up the Japanese continent?”

In retaliation for this incident, Jae-young thought of dozens of ways to properly fuck the Japanese government. No matter how Japanese users are not directly related to this incident, he was seriously thinking about whether or not to implement such retaliatory measures, as the only thing he could do as a college student was this.

However, the answer that came out of President Lee Mi-yeon’s mouth to his question was completely different from the various answers Jae-young was thinking.

“Um… but it doesn’t matter, but it’s actually meaningless, right?”

“What do you mean?”

Jae-young tilts her head at Lee Mi-yeon’s words that it probably won’t be necessary. Looking at him like that, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a strangely cold smile.

“The Japanese government is in a state of intense heat due to a series of recent events. I wanted to solve the problem in a good way somehow… but since things were going in an impossible direction, we finally decided to take a retaliatory response after deep consideration and deliberation.”

Lee Mi-yeon, president of Arcadia Co., Ltd., said that Arcadia also decided to take retaliatory measures against the Japanese government. Looking at her face with a very ominous smile, Jaeyoung swallowed his saliva with a tense face without knowing it.

“What are you thinking of doing?”

However, President Lee Mi-yeon did not tell Jae-young about what would happen in the future. He just grinned and left a very ominous warning.

“It will go to a live press conference, so check it out for yourself then.”
