World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 155 Past Glory (3)

Following Jae-gyun, Jae-young visits Arcadia headquarters. I had already visited the place several times for research related to synchro rate, but I had never looked around except for the floor where the research room was located, so I looked around the office with a completely different atmosphere with curious eyes.

“Hmm... It’s better than I thought.”

Jaeyoung imagined a typical corporate office filled with partitions. However, perhaps because of the atmosphere of the department that values creativity and imagination, there were freely decorated offices and various entertainment and convenience facilities in a spacious open space. And looking at the employees who freely use it inside, he muttered with a face that he liked quite a bit.

“The League of Legends made in virtual reality...”

Now it’s neatly folded, but it’s the most decisive game that made Dex the way it is today, and the League of Legends, the best game in name and reality that he spent three years in high school with. After the virtual reality game Arcadia appeared, it showed a decline, but compared to other games that almost collapsed, it was quite good. It's about making the most of the game's many strengths and weaknesses.

“First of all, in my personal opinion, I think I chose the game well. The story of the world and characters in the game is detailed, so many gamers have a lot of affection for these parts. Also, since it is an AOS genre that can be enjoyed lightly and several people join forces to compete against the opposing team, it can be enjoyed with friends. Unlike the MMORPG genre like Arcadia, it's a lot lighter.”

Jae-young talks about his impressions of this project while recalling various requirements for box office success. At his words, the staff of the design & development team looked at each other with interest and whispered to each other in quiet voices.

“What do you understand better than I thought?”

“I heard you brought me here because you were a kid who liked the League of Legends. I know because I have done it myself.”

“So what are we really getting checked by that friend?”

“I don’t know. The manager said he would talk about it separately.”

While the employees were holding onto Jaeyoung and talking about various things to pass the time, Manager Yang Min-hyeok of the Design & Development Team was quietly talking with Jae-gyun in the hallway with a slightly perplexed look on his face.

“Keuhmmmm..... That Jaegyun student. It may be with good intentions, but it is very dangerous to inform others about the company's confidential project in this way. If it leaks out, serious controversy or legal problems may arise, and many people may suffer great damage.”

Considering the seriousness of the matter, it would not be strange to file a complaint. So, he first warned Jaekyun about this action with a serious face. Then Jaekyun lowered his head with a sullen face and murmured.

“Yeah... I’m sorry about that part. I'll be careful next time.”

Jae-kyun, who admits his mistakes and apologizes more obediently than he thought. Manager Yang Min-hyeok cleared his throat and spoke in a calm tone, as if he was relieved a little by his appearance.

“okay. I'm not going to report this to the higher up or anything like that. But... to be honest, it would be a bit difficult for that friend named Jaeyoung to participate in this project.”

“yes....? why?”

Jae-gyun, surprised by his words, asked back, as if he wanted to involve his friend in the project. Manager Yang Min-hyeok calmly explained the reason to Jae-gyun.

“First of all, the game company that currently operates the League of Legends has agreed to provide all detailed data about the game in consultation with our company. We are going to apply the actual balance and system based on the data, so there is nothing to review. As for the final inspection, the developer team that created the League of Legends came out to do the inspection, and the story was over.”

A situation where the developer who directly creates and operates the game decides to take over the inspection. In such a situation, there was no need to ask a college student who enjoys games, so Manager Yang Min-hyeok had no intention of letting Jae-gyun's uninvited guest participate in the project.

“And... Jaekyun will be a member of our family after graduation, but isn't it like that friend? To be honest, it is too risky to recklessly let an outsider who has nothing to do with Arcadia participate in a closed project...”

Yang Min-hyeok, manager, is working hard to persuade Jae-gyun. However, Jaekyun, who had been listening to him silently, suddenly made a puzzled expression and tilted his head.

“Wait a minute, boss. You have nothing to do with this company?”

“hmm?”

“No, Jaeyoung. You said that it would be difficult for you to participate in the project carelessly because you have nothing to do with this company. is not it?”

“....yes?”

Manager Yang Min-hyeok felt strange at Jae-gyun's attitude of asking the same question over and over again. Jaekyun smiled broadly at his answer.

“Ah... you don’t know...”

“What do I not know?”

Jae-kyun mumbles something unknown. Manager Yang Min-hyeok made an incomprehensible expression at his words, but he couldn't shut his mouth at Jae-gyun's story that followed.

“Jaeyoung had been working with this company long before me.”

“what....?”

“Who did he say at that time..... Head of Research, Moonsik Kim...? Anyway, Jaeyoung has been working with the R&D team at this company for quite some time.”

“W R&D team?”

At those words, Manager Yang Min-hyeok was taken aback.

Arcadia's research and development team. A high-level department with virtually unlimited funding and an influence that cannot be ignored even within a company with multiple large-scale projects. Rumors about college students collaborating there were famous even within the company, so he was able to realize Jae-young's identity just by Jae-gyun's words.

“Wait a minute! In other words, that friend is...”

Manager Yang Min-hyeok stammered and made a fuss as he was so surprised. Seeing him like that, Jaekyun smiled and nodded as if he realized what he was trying to ask.

“that's right. Jaeyoung is a genius college student with a synchro rate of 94%.”

“.....”

Only then did Manager Yang Min-hyeok recall the memories buried in the other side of his brain. A story about a student with an incredible synchro rate that an employee dispatched to Seomin University in the past talked about.

* * *

Manager Yang Min-hyeok returned to the office after talking with Jae-kyun. He looked at Jaejoong with slightly different eyes and said.

“...From now on, these two friends have decided to join our project. If there is anything you don't understand, let me know and everyone will cooperate as much as possible.”

“yes? Really?” “Wow, that's great.....”

The staff muttered with surprised eyes at the completely unexpected results. Manager Yang Min-hyeok looked at Jae-young and asked, leaving them behind.

“Did you say you were a Jaeyoung student...? As a result of checking Jaeyoung's data I received before, I know that his ability to implement lucid dreams is a bit poor... Is that right?”

“that's right. I'm a complete gem when it comes to imagining things more than I thought. I'm not very good at handling the machine.”

Jae-young speaks plainly without any special bragging, as if he knows his limits well. At his words, Manager Yang Min-hyeok asked with a slightly serious face.

“...So how exactly do you plan to get involved in this project? Are you referring to the level of play feedback as a general game user?”

Yang Min-hyeok, general manager, only recognizes Jae-young as a user who simply enjoyed the League of Legends. That's why he was asking him directly, albeit a bit roundabout.

‘Are you at the level of reviewing the game?'

.... I mean.

However, Jaeyoung answered the question with a strange smile.

“About that part... Let’s show it with our skills.”

“what....?”

Manager Yang Min-hyeok put on a puzzled expression at those words. However, Jaeyoung did not respond to him, just looked at Jaekyun and said.

“Hey Jaekyung. Have you played League of Legends?”

“uh....? Of course I did.”

“okay. Then you should know all the basics. Hey, is it possible to use this Lucid Dream together?”

“huh? oh it's possible It also includes the ability to create collaboratively.”

“Perfect. Then could you help me set it up so we can make it together?”

Jae-young tries to access Lucid Dream so naturally as if he were an employee who worked here for a long time. At his request, the staff looked at Yang Min-hyeok's notice and hesitated, but soon helped Jae-gyun and Jae-young access Lucid Dream.

“System standby..... 5.... 4.... 3.... 2.... 1..... UP.”

With those words, the lights came on at the same time and the two Lucid Dreams started operating.

After a few minutes of adjustment work, Jaeyoung, who entered the virtual reality production system, looked at Jaekyun, who was standing still with a slightly dazed face in the endless colorless space, and said,

“Hey Jaekyung. Do you remember what the final gorge looks like, a map you play roughly 5:5?”

“huh....? I don’t know perfectly, but roughly?”

Jae-Kyun, who has been playing the game for a long time, but does not remember every part of the vast map in detail. But unlike him, Jaeyoung remembered everything perfectly. Everything from the bushes planted all over the huge map to the exquisitely installed various terrain features and all the objects and monsters that appear there. That's why Jaeyoung smiled and said, “Don't worry.”

“Then, would you like to implement it as much as you can remember?”

“huh?”

“It’s okay to think about the parts you don’t remember. Just try to make it as much as possible with the idea of looking down the entire map in spectator mode.”

“The entire map...?”

Jaeyoung's request to create the entire huge map at once, rather than implementing each one in detail. Jaekyun asked back with a puzzled look on his face, but Jaeyoung answered without hesitation.

“huh. I will tell you about the details that are lacking, so feel free to eat and try it with the idea that you only have a basic frame.”

Hearing that, Jaekyun seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but soon he nodded his head and closed his eyes with a face that felt even determined as if he was prepared for something.

“Okay... I’ll try it.”

With those words, Jae-kyun takes a deep breath. After a short time passed, a huge vibration began to occur under Jaeyoung and Jaekyun's feet.

Woo woo woo woo.

Infinite space where nothing exists. There, huge rocks rose from somewhere and soon began to create a huge boundary line. in the form of a perfectly symmetrical square.

Kurrureung Kurrureung.

Kwaaang kwaang.

And huge structures bursting through the floor at both ends. Buildings with exactly the same appearance and elongated turrets that seemed to protect them began to take place.

“Ugh...”

Jaekyun groaned with his eyes tightly closed, sweating profusely. But even so, his imagination did not stop.

shoot it

A huge waterfall created on either side. and swamp puddles. Fast-growing bushes here and there and obstacles of rocks and rock blocks blocking the map here and there. As the things that were created through Jaekyun's imagination began to pile up one by one, Jaeyoung began to see the whole thing.

An all-too-familiar landscape that I've been looking down on my monitor for a long time.

Thousands... tens of thousands of battles, the Legendary League's decisive battle gorge was showing off its beautiful appearance under his feet. Not on a computer monitor with crude graphics, but in a virtual reality system full of realism and life.
