World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 130 Caribbean (3)

Arcadia Co., Ltd. is expanding its business scale explosively by setting up branches all over the world.

Branches have already been installed in dozens of countries, providing virtual reality services, and they are busy with plans to provide them, but they are cruising smoothly without any problems. Except for the Korean branch.

“Vice manager! An emergency meeting has now been called. I think you should come back to work soon!”

“Yes, chief. Where are you? yes? Is today your wedding anniversary?”

“Oh, I’m the conductor. Contact the employees who left work right now and ask them all to come back to the company. It's an emergency.”

The third main scenario created out of nowhere. Because of the notification that Alice sent to all employees, the employees of the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. had no choice but to return to work late in the evening with a weary body.

“Haa... Manager Kang, let's start.”

Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han sighs as if he is all too familiar now and speaks with a tired face. At his words, Manager Kang Tae-hun nodded and started the briefing.

“First of all... I would like to thank everyone who attended the meeting even at such a late hour. However, as the issue is an issue, I hope you understand that it was an inevitable decision to respond quickly to it.”

“.....”

Employees who were spending a happy time with family, lovers, or friends after work. Because they were forcibly summoned back to the company, all the executives and staff members in the conference room were all sitting with their faces chewing shit and keeping their mouths shut. A chilly, awkward atmosphere that doesn't seem to understand at all. Sensing such an atmosphere, General Manager Kang Tae-hoon cleared his throat and continued the story.

“The name of the third main scenario created this time is New Continent. Please note that what I am going to talk about now includes data provided to us by Ellis and must be kept strictly confidential.”

Alice, the artificial intelligence system that oversees Arcadia.

Only executive director Kwon Myung-han and the manager and team leader level in charge of each department knew of her existence, and other than that, it was kept strictly secret. I broke the seal of the report lying there.

“The Caribbean is the region that was first identified by our Crisis Management Response Team that triggered the creation of this scenario.”

“If it’s the Caribbean, isn’t that an area set up as one of the five major forbidden areas?”

“that's right. There are many factors that can trigger the main scenario... but what the hell did you touch?”

A forbidden area set at an extremely extreme level of difficulty to prevent users from entering as much as possible. There, puzzled by the fact that the trigger of the main scenario had been triggered again, he flipped through the report, and after reading what was written in it, he shouted in disbelief with a shocked face.

“What is this?”

“Director Kang Tae-Hoon, are the contents here true?”

“No...was this possible now?”

“This crazy .....”

The meeting room became noisy in an instant. In a situation where the meeting could not proceed any further, the executive director Kwon Myung-han hit the desk with all his might.

“All quiet!”

Quaang.

Inside the meeting room fell into silence again with a loud noise. However, everyone in the conference room looked at the face of Executive Director Kwon Myung-han with a face that had a lot to say.

“I know you have a lot to say, but first of all, Manager Kang Tae-hoon is briefing, so calm down and ask questions after the explanation is finished.”

Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han picked up the report again, winking at Manager Kang Tae-hoon to continue the meeting. At his instruction, Manager Kang Tae-hun nodded and opened his mouth again.

“As for this part, it was information that was confidential and top-secret until now, so we were not aware of it at all, but there was a different reason why the Caribbean was set as one of the five prohibited areas.”

Until now, the employees knew that it was because of the hidden class hidden in it and the scenario that would take place in the war against criminal organizations. But now, the true reason why it was set as forbidden in this meeting room was being revealed.

“As you all know, Arcadia is divided into 8 continents. The Korean branch is in charge of the second continent.”

The continents of Arcadia are divided into eight. Since the server does not exist separately, but a single server provides virtual reality services to the whole world, they used a trick. Considering the language barrier, countries with similar cultures were combined as much as possible, and the starting point was set differently for each continent to serve.

Arcadia is divided into 8 continents and is providing services for each culture. Therefore, the executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. naturally understood that exchanges between continents were impossible.

Until this very moment.

“Although this is only possible if all of the extremely demanding and special conditions are met.... Through the information Ellis provided, I was able to confirm that it is possible to move to another continent through this Caribbean.”

“What?”

“A move to another continent...?”

Employees who have never thought about the idea of moving from one continent to another. They were stunned with expressions of disbelief at Director Kang Tae-hoon's words.

“It is an NPC called ‘Pirate King Carlos' who grants quests related to continental movement. According to the given setting, he was betrayed by his subordinates and forcibly pushed out, and once reigned as the absolute ruler of the Caribbean.”

Carlos with a stern face appears on the screen that fills one corner of the conference room. At the words of Director Kang Tae-hoon, who explained the settings related to him in detail, someone tilted his head and asked, unable to contain his curiosity.

“I... Director Kang Tae-hun, I don't understand what you just said. You mean that the current Caribbean is in a fierce war for supremacy after the pirate king named Carlos was pushed out.”

“That's right.”

“Then... First of all, in order for this scenario to begin, we must free Carlos from being imprisoned under strict surveillance and help him subdue those two powerful criminal organizations so that he can reign supreme in the Caribbean again?”

“you're right.”

“After that, we have to convince Carlos to help us cross the continent.”

“Yes.”

Director Kang Tae-hoon nods his head and admits to every question he asks. The employee who questioned his answer asked with a more confused face.

“No, is that realistically possible now?”

The Caribbean is teeming with powerful criminals with an average level of 180 or higher. Among them, only the elite gather to rescue Carlos, who is standing on the iron guard, and help him completely take over the Caribbean. It was clear that it was a main-scenario-class quest that had to be accomplished by spending time and effort not alone, but by a huge number of users.

“you're right. And according to what's written here... Carlos is set to have the worst affinity unless he has accumulated at least 100,000 bad karma. Can there be a user who can establish a close relationship with him right now?”

A heinous prerequisite for starting a quest only after accumulating over 100,000 bad karma. If it was this bad business, it would have to be at the level of a rare criminal who gained notoriety throughout the continent, so it was safe to assume that there was no user who could form a meaningful relationship with him in the current situation. However, in the midst of such skeptical questions, Manager Kang Tae-hun nodded and asked them.

“Yes. In fact, these are the conditions that make it almost impossible at the moment. But if that was the case, would Alice have created a new main scenario?”

“.....”

Alice detects and analyzes an extremely vast and immeasurable amount of information in real time and infers only possible results. There was no way she could have created the main scenario without any causal relationship. That's why the expression of the employees hardened at the question of General Manager Kang Tae-hun.

“Could that be...?”

“No... does that make sense now?”

All of them made faces in shock at the fact that there was a user who moved to start the scenario that had just been created while meeting all of the formidable conditions.

“If this scenario opens now... what should we do?”

The most essential and essential question. However, Kwon Myung-han, the managing director, answered the question instead.

“I have to wait and see what to do.”

Infinite Freedom Infinite Possibilities.

There was no room for them to intervene in creating a new path by bringing out the hidden potential on their own.

“First of all, there is a feeling that the timing is too early for this, but... First of all, I will report directly to the boss and check the action. I have a rough idea of what you will say, but for now, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the relevant information and think about possible problems and countermeasures when this scenario opens.”

Employees who started writing something with their hands busy with those words. And Kwon Myeong-han, managing director, said as if he had suddenly remembered it before getting up from his seat while packing up the report.

“Oh, and contact other branches to thoroughly check if there are any problems with the business cooperation system. Just in case, if our users go to another continent, we will inform them about the related matters and there may be matters that we need to cooperate with periodically.”

After those words, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon leaves the meeting room.

Even after he left, for a long time, the staff in the conference room were busy reading the confidential material in front of them and talking about related content. Without knowing what is going on right now in the Caribbean they are discussing.

* * *

Somewhere deep underground in the Caribbean, a city of criminals.

There was a man lying on the floor like a corpse with his limbs bound with huge, heavy chains.

“Hey, it’s Bob.”

Chunk.

A guard announcing mealtime with a dry voice, opening a hole in the barbed wire and throwing a bowl. The bowl he threw contained only unidentified porridge that smelled so bad that it was hard to even call it a meal.

“.....”

The man stared at the bowl of porridge for a while without saying anything. He suddenly picked it up roughly, drank it into his mouth, and began chewing it with a poisonous face.

munching.

He frowned as if the taste was so lousy that it was hard to swallow. But his eyes were burning intensely with unfathomable anger and vengeance.

‘I, who used to be the pirate king... I can't die miserably in a place like this.'

Carlos no longer remembers when he was imprisoned in this narrow and smelly dungeon. It was a hellish time to the extent that ordinary people would already lose their minds and go crazy, but what sustained his spirit was the desire for revenge against those who betrayed him.

“I will definitely get out of here sometime and chew on the traitors and make them pay for it. Even at the cost of my soul...!”

Carlos is determined to take bloody revenge on those who have betrayed his trust before he dies no matter what. As he mumbled and growled to himself, he suddenly began to hear an unfamiliar voice.

“really?”

“Who are you!”

A solitary confinement where only you are confined. Knowing that there was no one there except the guards outside the cage, Carlos looked around in amazement, but could not sense any presence.

“what....? Am I going mad now?”

Carlos mumbles to himself, assuming he has heard nonsense. But he could clearly hear the voice coming again.

“What are you crazy about? Here it is.”

At that moment, Carlos inadvertently looked at his feet. And he was able to face it at that moment. Two bloody eyes clearly appeared in the shadow cast by the torchlight. Carlos, smelling the gooey scent of blood, asked with stunned eyes.

“Who are you?”

A presence exuding a huge malice that I have never felt before. The two eyes reflected in the shadow spoke to Carlos in a sweet voice.

“Your own little devil who will grant your wishes.”
