Chapter 444 Minsu Can't Stop (2)
Jack.
In reality, he was hemiplegic, unable to move even one finger due to a congenital deformity, but in return, he had infinite imagination, so he was a completely different being from reality in this virtual world.
He built all the laws and rules he could imagine, and he could achieve anything he wanted, and everything he believed to be true was true and true.
All-knowing and omnipotent... and a god-like being who created a world by himself.
The dragons known as the guardians of Arcadia and feared.
Even ancient deities, each with its own powerful divinity and deity.
Jack, the strongest and highest-ranking being in this virtual world that no one dares to do anything about.
However, there was only one existence that even he couldn't do anything about in this virtual world.
“Now... let’s see... how shall I start the scenario...”
Kim Min-soo is contemplating something with a childlike smile as if he is finally playing with his cherished toy. .
He is the core developer of Project Sixth Sense and Phalaenopsis Dream, which allowed him to create this world, and the father of virtual reality technology. If it was Jack who created the program called Arcadia, then Kim Min-soo made the hardware to run it, so these two had exactly half the influence of this world.
As the creator and father of this world.
Asura, the lord of the black mist that wanders the void.
That's why Jack was deeply grateful to Minsu, a benefactor who saved him, who was nothing, but at the same time, he was the most uncomfortable and burdensome existence, so he often felt inexpressible contradictory feelings.
Especially when she insists on injecting what she wants into Arcadia.
“What do you think Jack? How would you like to start an apocalypse scenario?”
Minsu whimpers as if seriously thinking about it and asks him to come up with an idea. To him like that, Jack said a little resolutely with golden eyes shining.
“Minsu, let’s clear up one thing for now.”
“hmm? what?”
“First of all... I don't agree with your idea of triggering the final chapter scenario now. However, as you said, it is true that you have the full authority to activate the scenario, so you cannot stop it.”
So, the moment Minsu first started to take an interest in Arcadia, President Lee Mi-yeon, who preemptively announced the facts related to the final scenario to the world in preparation for this situation that could explode at any time.
However, even the two did not predict that Minsu would declare the end of Arcadia so quickly.
“I won't stop you, but everything will flow according to the rules. Without any exceptions or arbitrary interpretations or judgments between the two of us, we are just accepting things as they are, according to Alice's judgment.”
“Um... so you're saying we're going to have Ellis as the referee and keep neither of us from doing weird tricks behind our backs?”
“that's right.”
If left alone, Minsu always commits crazy things beyond imagination. Jack gave his opinion preemptively because he was well aware of his characteristics. And at such a suggestion, Minsu nodded his head coolly without much objection.
“What do you do? Alice, can I ask for a referee regarding this scenario?”
[Don't worry, admin. We will handle everything according to the given rules.]
Artificial intelligence that judges everything fairly and fairly without being bound by any self-interest.
At her reliable answer, Minsu nodded with a satisfied smile.
“okay. Then let's have a little discussion.”
After that, the three started discussing a proper scenario.
But with Jack, who wants to prevent the end of Arcadia.
Minsu wants to have fun to the maximum by pushing the extreme difficulty level somehow.
The two people who are dealing with this final scenario with completely different purposes ran parallel lines of opinion for a long time without concessions.
“No, what are you going to do if everything goes wrong?”
“Isn’t that obvious? Well, it's impossible to attack at all. If that's the case, why don't you simply destroy it by dropping a super-giant meteorite?”
“oh? Is that a good idea? Can I do that?”
“...will it work?”
However, even after that, after a long time passed, an agreement on the final scenario was eventually drawn through Ellis' mediation and some concessions from the exhausted two people.
“Then... do you agree now?”
“Okay... let’s do it like this.”
Minsu and Jack sit down with tired faces and sigh deeply.
And the two soon began to sort out the issues they had agreed upon.
“third time. I can activate whatever I want only three times, right?”
“On the condition that Ellis judge that the current situation is an attackable scenario.”
“After each catastrophe, take a break of at least one week.”
“I am entirely in charge of calculating compensation for clearing.”
“Is that also being judged by Alice?”
“of course.” Minsu and Jack, who finally met the various conditions, joined hands after confirming that a final compromise had been made.
“...Please don't let me perish.”
“I don't think it's up to me. Anyway, I'll try.”
Jack let out a deep sigh, his face trembling as if to stop talking. However, whether or not he knew his heart, Minsu said with a cheerful face as he moved his steps.
“Once we’re done talking, let’s go eat. Eating here doesn’t make you fat?”
Although he was like the father of virtual reality who created all of this, Minsu himself has never properly experienced virtual reality that everyone else does. At this ironic situation, and at the feeling of seeing a pure newbie who doesn't know anything, Jack smiled and nodded.
“Yes..... It's the end, it's Nabal, let's eat first.”
When they lightly flicked their fingers like that, the two of them moved to an old-fashioned restaurant in an instant.
At first glance, the splendid interior and food prices seemed incredibly expensive, but Jack and Minsu didn't care about anything and ordered all kinds of menus.
“oh? Drake tail steak? What is this? Is it delicious?”
“Um... not bad. The meat is soft and juicy.”
“okay? Then add this too. This and this... Oh, please give me this too.”
Eating for pleasure, not for survival.
The two of them had a great time, forgetting the fierce debate until now, tasting the food made by a skilled chef with bizarre and mysterious ingredients that do not exist in reality.
“Hey..... This is a real restaurant, right? I don't regret anything.”
“yes? It's a place I go to sometimes too. It's the best restaurant in Arcadia.”
“okay? It looks like a place where a lot of attention was paid.”
Min-su, who immediately agreed to the words of Jack, the creator, and eagerly tasted this and that.
But suddenly at that moment. A plate from the table between the two fell to the floor and shattered with a loud sound.
Clink.
“Miss I.....”
An adventurer passed by the table where the two of them were eating.
It was a situation where he accidentally bumped into a plate protruding from the corner and accidentally fell, but the adventurer glanced at Minsu and Jack, and soon after he looked very annoyed and cursed, and soon began to walk away without a word of apology.
“what....?”
A truly absurd situation. Min-soo, who looks like a human and has no manners, called the adventurer before Jack stopped him.
“Hey there, mister. If you drop someone else's food, isn't it normal to apologize first? How the hell did you get home schooling to act like that?”
“Hey... hey!”
Jack is obviously taken aback by Minsu's sudden behavior.
That's right, these two are just sitting in this restaurant as ordinary extra NPCs with no special features. Minsu's actions were so outstanding because he was endowed with the minimum amount of activity to not respond to any stimulus unless it was a dire situation.
However, before Jack could explain, the adventurer had already stopped and returned.
He looked at Minsu, who called himself Mister, with a grim face and asked coldly.
“Did you just say that to me?”
“of course. Then who else dropped the food here besides you?”
Min-soo blows a flame pad lip while talking about home education. However, the opponent facing him was building a confused look.
“You bastard... what is it?”
Just a nothing NPC.
However, seeing that he was acting like an adventurer in real life, he narrowed his eyes and asked if he felt something strange.
But at that moment, someone who seemed to be his colleague approached with a grumbling voice mixed with annoyance.
“Oh, I'm busy, but you're not coming. What are you doing here?”
“No, this NPC suddenly calls and starts a fight.”
“what? What are you talking about?”
Shattered dishes and uneaten drake tail steaks rolling on the floor.
Just looking at it, they could get a rough idea of what the situation was like, but from their point of view, they belonged to the Red Flag, an adventurer's guild that held the real power of Erzel's territory.
“Where do you take something that is nothing special? Do you even know who we are?”
“Um... I don’t know.”
“You don't know the Red Banner Guild? These bastards... what the hell are they doing? Are you a foreigner?”
Gerdel tilted his head and muttered with strange eyes.
“who is this? that is. Are they famous?”
Minsu asks Jack what the hell these guys are. But instead of Jack, who shrugged and said he didn't know, Alice answered his question.
[Overall ranking 37953 guild red flag. It's just a general regional minor guild.]
An adventurer's guild that's only about the size of a local Toho faction. From the point of view of the NPCs living here, they would have been difficult to touch, but they did not make any impression on Minsu.
“what? Aren’t they nothing special?”
“What... what...?”
“Are these... NPCs? Is something strange?”
The two feel insulted and embarrassed at the same time in his pitiful gaze. Although they were obviously NPCs, they realized something was strange when they saw Minsu acting like a normal user.
“You idiot, why are you arguing with other users over nothing? You can just skip it.”
Watching their confrontation, Jack grunted with an expression as if his head hurt, and soon snapped his fingers lightly.
Then, the plate and steak, which had been smashed into pieces, were restored to their original state, as if time flowed in reverse. A large plate with a delicious steak steaming again. The two of them looked at the unbelievable scene and soon muttered to themselves with stupid expressions.
“What the hell is this...”
“What are these guys...?”
Normal-looking NPCs. The text above the heads of these two also clearly showed that they were such beings.
[Country trader Hans]
[New adventurer Jack]
Titles and names worn by mediocre NPCs that can be found in any town or city. However, at the reaction of the two, he asked again with a mischievous smile.
“Oh that? It's camouflage.”
Minsu, noticing that he was staring at his nickname, pointed his finger over their heads as if to ask them to double check.
Woo woo woo.
The text changes in real time. And seeing his true identity newly appearing, the two could not react at all.
[Asura, owner of the black mist]
“...?”
“.....”
In a situation where no one would believe that they had a fight while eating, Asura, the fearsome being who would bring about the destruction of Arcadia, first appeared in Arcadia.
While talking nonsense about giving character education to two spoiled users.
