Chapter 66 Settlement Right

after the Jukchang War ended.

The Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. started an emergency meeting with executives and general managers.

“Eh…. Thank you for attending this emergency meeting even though you are busy.”

A meeting place where all management-level employees, led by Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, gathered. With President Lee Mi-yeon also present, the atmosphere was as cold as ice.

“First, let’s talk about the current situation.”

In a situation where everyone was silent, President Lee Mi-yeon gave a signal to team leader Tae-young Jang, who was sitting in a state of panic, not knowing what to do with a pale face. Then he started talking while hesitating, receiving everyone’s cold stares.

“Eh… First, let me tell you about the current problem. The Jukchang Daejeon we prepared was successfully completed a few hours ago, but a major problem occurred in the reward collection process.”

“Is it a serious problem?”

“That’s… it’s not what we expected, we received a completely wrong reward…..”

“Wrong reward…?”

Jang Tae-young, the team leader, speaks bluntly about the reward. At his words, General Manager Kang Tae-hun sighed and replied.

“The winner chose a bamboo spear as a reward.”

“Jukchang…?”

With those words, the detail window of the item appeared on the large screen in front of the meeting room. The murmur of those who saw it erupted from all over the conference room.

“What is that?”

“No, did you let me take something like that?”

“This crazy…..”

A bamboo spear, an item made for the Jukchang Daejeon event.

Thoroughly made for the event, this item was just an ordinary bamboo spear with no attack power, but it was given a setting that could not be ignored.

[Jukchang]

A spear made of carved bamboo. It has an aura that symbolizes the equality of all people.

-The target stabbed with authenticity is instantly killed.

-Defense Completely ignores magic defense.

Instant death of the target stabbed with authenticity.

Ignoring Defense and Magic Defense.

In other words, it is a truly super-powerful opener item that can cause death in one shot regardless of who the target is. As soon as they saw the item, everyone in the conference room put on a serious expression, as if they were thinking of how to use it in their heads.

“How the hell did you get that thing as a reward?”

“No, how poorly you plan an event, can you not anticipate a situation like that? yes?”

At those words, team leader Jang Tae-young lowered his blushing face and couldn’t bear to lift his head. In a situation where everyone was complaining, he was sure that his promotion to general manager had been blown away.

‘Damn it… until the end…..’

A user who desperately prayed to be eliminated from the first discovery of its existence. Until the end, Dex did not deviate from expectations and presented a huge and bulky taffy to team leader Jang Tae-young.

“Wait a minute. It seems that the target is not specified, so does it really apply to boss level monsters?”

Numerous monsters that haven’t even been revealed yet.

Among them, there are transcendental beings that are originally set to a level that is impossible to kill, which users cannot attack no matter how hard they try. In particular, beings like Goldrian, the Dragon Lord who is the representative of dragons and praised as the guardian of Arcadia.

“It has not been confirmed with certainty, but it is assumed that it is.”

I don’t know exactly how and to what level that setting will be applied, but assuming the worst situation, it is possible.

“Oh… my God.”

“This XXX…..”

People muttered at that word. In particular, in the case of the scenario team that plans various narratives of Arcadia, they strongly protested with excitement to the point of foaming at the mouth.

“No way! Even if you kill a few key NPCs with that bamboo spear, even if it’s not Goldrian, the scenario we’ve planned will be completely twisted.”

The epic story of Arcadia, which was planned with the participation of dozens of famous screenwriters in an elaborate composition. A huge mainstream written in their hands. The story that it could be destroyed in an instant meant that all of Arcadia would be thrown into great chaos.

“First of all…. Since the worst has to be prevented, some level of intervention seems necessary.”

After listening to the story roughly, the conclusion reached by President Lee Mi-yeon. Everyone nodded their heads as they looked at her in agreement.

“Ellis.”

The text that appears on the screen at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon.

[Second-level manager Lee Mi-yeon, president. Confirmed. How can I help you?]

“I want to request a readjustment of the event reward items that player ‘Dex’ took. Is that possible?”

Event item bamboo spear.

President Lee Mi-yeon, who was about to request a performance change for it, was initially taken aback by Ellis’ words.

[Requests for re-adjustment of reward items are not possible.]

“…why?”

Elise immediately replies that it is impossible. It is not common for her to respond to any request as much as possible, so President Lee Mi-yeon asked slightly embarrassed.

[There are already 2 unreasonable ex officio patches for the user.]

[There is a guarantee that there will be no additional unreasonable patches.]

“…What do you mean by that?”

A story you hear for the first time. In response to CEO Lee Mi-yeon’s question, a video appeared on the screen.

[Okay….. I promise. Regarding this event, this is probably the last patch.]

A video showing Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon saying it’s the last while ejaculating in an anxious voice. Everyone who saw it fixed their eyes on Kwon Myeong-han.

“Executive Director Kwon Myung-han…?”

President Lee Mi-yeon, who has a grin on her face, but has a bloody spirit. She said, looking at Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was staring blankly at herself, who said this was the last time with a pale face.

“Does this seem like a situation that needs some explanation?”

At that moment, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon sincerely regretted it.

Realizing that the last promise to artificial intelligence should not be careless.

* * *

“Hmm… is this going to happen?”

Jaeyoung holding a green bamboo spear in his hand. He smiled strangely as he checked the detailed explanation of the stretching bamboo spear.

[Jukchang]

A spear made of carved bamboo. It has an aura that symbolizes the equality of all people.

-The target stabbed with authenticity is instantly killed.

-Defense Completely ignores magic defense.

A bamboo spear that can send any being to the Nether Road in one shot. It is also at the level of an absolute weapon that cannot defend or evade any target that has been set up additionally to compensate for Jaeyoung’s trick in the first round.

“What is that ignorant fellow?”

“This is… so amazing.”

Tan and L are terrified as they look at the bamboo spear Jaeyoung is holding with a startled expression, as if they can feel the power. Seeing the consistent reaction of the two, Jaeyoung tilted his head and asked.

“Why are you suddenly like that? Didn’t you show anything special before?”

On the event map, the two watched as they wielded bamboo spears without saying anything. However, the way they look at Jukchang now is completely different from before.

“hey! The one I used in that strange dimension and the one I use here are completely different!”

“The amount of probability felt in that spear…really…”

A bamboo spear endowed with an absurd level of absolute settings. And in the eyes of Tan and L, the bamboo spear, filled with probability worthy of its power, was no different from a nuclear bomb about to explode.

“Hey, put that away. Just looking at it is scary.”

“Really…. If that weapon is used, the entire continent will shake.”

At that time, watching the reaction of the two as if they felt fear beyond burden. Suddenly, a message appeared in front of Jaeyoung’s eyes.

[The operator is requesting a summons for the player.]

[Do you want to accept the summons?]

A message indicating that the operator is requesting a summons. Seeing this, Jaeyoung was immediately convinced that it was because of the event reward he had acquired.

“Um…”

Jaeyoung can sense how ridiculous this item is just by looking at Tan and L’s reactions. He accepted the request without any embarrassment because he thought that such an outside intervention would be inevitable.

Dig.

At the same time, a flash of light was reflected in Jae-young’s eyes, and he was transported to an unknown space. A woman greeted Jae-young with a bright smile while he was looking around here and there with curious eyes, placed alone in an office-like space plastered entirely in white.

“Hello, ‘Dex’. My name is Helenia, operator of Arcadia.”

Wearing a strange uniform, she offered Jaeyoung a chair and smiled brightly.

“It was nothing else, but I had to request a summons inevitably because I had a request regarding an item I received from this Jukchang Daejeon event. I really ask for your understanding on this.”

Helenia bowed her head with an apologetic expression while clasping her hands together. When she said that she had a favor, Jaeyoung tilted her head and asked.

“You have a favor…?”

She uses the word please. At Jaeyoung’s question, Helenia started talking while scratching her cheek as if she was embarrassed.

“That’s because… the item Dex-sama acquired wasn’t originally planned as an event reward. I don’t know how it happened, but if it is used in Arcadia, it is judged that there is a risk of having a significant impact or harm to the game overall, so we have concluded that adjustments to the item are inevitably needed.”

“You mean… you mean you’re going to take the items I’ve acquired?”

“no! Regarding the part acquired as an event reward, we can’t do that because there are mistakes in our management….. First of all, we’re going to get the user’s consent and set the direction of the related adjustment.”

Unlike other game operators, Jae-young realized that he was looking at himself with a very low profile. Looking at it, I was able to notice to some extent that it was impossible for Arcadia’s administrators to intervene by wielding their authority at will.

“Um… First of all, from what we thought, we are going to adjust it in 3 directions… First…”

There were a total of 3 plans she suggested to Jae-young.

First, limit the number of times you can use bamboo spears.

Limit the application of the second bamboo spear to a certain level.

Third, recovery of bamboo spears and rewards with epic items.

Hearing these three suggestions, Jaeyoung pondered something. And asked Helenia.

“I get the gist of it… but what do I get if I agree to this arrangement?”

In response to that question, Helenia pressed something in the air for a moment and then looked at Jaeyoung and said,

“It will be judged by the user compensation program due to the negligence of the company and a direct offer will be made.”

User rewards program.

Along with her words, the window that popped up in front of Jaeyoung’s eyes listed the rewards provided for accepting this offer. And seeing that, Jaeyoung’s eyes flashed.

“Really… you’re going to reward me like this?”

“Um… I’m sorry, but I don’t know the details of the reward, so it’s hard to answer. This is a method in which the program directly analyzes the damage suffered by the customer and the overall play, derives the optimal compensation, and proposes it.”

Helenia waved her hand and said she didn’t know the details of the reward. However, she said, looking at Jaeyoung with eyes full of determination, saying that she would be sure of one thing.

“But… let me tell you one thing for sure. If you cooperate with us in this matter, there will be no additional patches that are unfavorable to you in the future, as happened during this event.”

Additional patches in two installments. Jaeyoung laughed at her words, admitting that the patch was all aimed at him.

“Do you have the strength to do so?”

Helenia laughed strangely at those words. She nodded and spoke in a strong tone.

“Sure. I promise you in my name as the president of Arcadia.”

“yes….?”

Jaeyoung realized at her words. The person in front of him now is not just an operating employee, but a new female CEO who is in charge of everything in Arcadia.

Lee Mi-yeon, the president.
