Chapter 110
Chapter 110 GM Group (1)
Arfandia where numerous videos are uploaded every day.
The latest hot topic in this community was the location of the elves and dwarves.
[According to my research, the most likely place for elves and dwarves is probably a hidden place among the realms of the Holy Empire. Especially in the case of the elves, the Pope himself tried to hide their existence...]
[Quest to find the dwarf village! Let's see how we can get it. Now, it's good to have a hammer ready. Our destination is this bar. The owner here is very short. There is a secret rumor that he is an old mixed blood of the dwarves...]
Those who upload videos while blowing rice cakes claiming to be carrying out quests related to elves and dwarves. However, most of these videos were false information, so rather, victims who were trying to imitate them clumsily began to appear one after another.
-Oops, here's a video scam. If you go to a bar with a hammer, the owner takes the hammer and smashes the pot without asking. be careful. I was about to die.
-lol. No, what's wrong with the owner of the bar there... He's a short dwarf half-race jam.
-This is why Arfandia is being criticized. If it's not clear information, don't upload the video. Is it good to cheat and suck up views?
-Ah, if you're going to annoy people like this, can't you just disclose it? Why the hell are you leaving so few people alone?
It's not just an event, it's a large-scale content called a village of different races. If it was a general game, it would have been insufficient even if the game company itself had advertised huge amounts of advertisements on various media including TV beforehand, but this damn game had no official mention of it.
[Arcadia's top priority is to provide users with a realistic, vivid experience amidst unlimited freedom and infinite possibilities. In the case of villages of elves and dwarves, we do not disclose them, so that users can naturally enjoy the joy of discovery in adventure and exploration...] Rather, the
game company said that they will never reveal anything, so find them to their best ability. official announcement. In response to these game companies, Arpandia started to burn hotly.
-Ha..... It's the first virtual reality game, so I'm really tired of running it.
-lol. This game is really hardcore and fun. Ignore even if you make users slaves. Even if the slime destroys the village, ignore it. Are you just a fan of users?
-This fucking operators. It is clear that only perverts were selected and hired. Even now, while browsing the bulletin board, you must be laughing and enjoying the suffering of the users?
However, unlike the burning bulletin board, various forces were secretly moving in the game.
“Don’t miss even the slightest clue or information. Some of the special quests in this game start with a small graffiti in the town. Check everything thoroughly!”
“Competing guilds say they are putting all their energy into finding villages of different races... What is our guild doing right now?”
“I don't care how much gold it costs! Just find it!”
Groups such as guilds and guilds. And even rankers who dream of being the best in their respective positions. At that time when many forces are engaged in a secret and fierce battle behind the scenes. GM's upper management team was also frantic about collecting information by mobilizing all their capabilities.
“I have found someone who knows the exact location of the Dwarven Village, Lord of the Upper Chamber.”
Choi Jae-gyu, the owner of GM. he asked, staring intently at his attendant as he entered, his face slightly reddened with excitement.
“Are you sure this time?”
“That's right. He's a user with a job called Pathfinder, who specializes in adventure and exploration... Judging from his resume, he seems to be reliable.”
Choi Je-gyu turns around with eyes full of disbelief after receiving the wads of papers handed over by his assistant. He soon looked at the splendid history and muttered with his distinctive eyes.
“hmm? Was the recently discovered ancient dungeon discovered by this person?”
“That's right. It is said that it is a professional exploration of the ancient history and geography of Arcadia, so it has been confirmed where the dwarves are most likely hiding and related documents have been obtained.”
“okay....?”
Arcadia, where information is directly linked to money and strength.
The operator, who was too uncooperative with the users, played a part in this, but because of the vast terrain and so many relics and ruins hidden all over the place that I couldn't dare to guess, there were jobs that specialized only in related work.
“By the way... the amount you ask for is a lot.”
However, instead of providing a key position, his secretary who said with a puzzled expression that the amount of gold he demanded in return was unexpected. Jaegyu asked at his words.
“How much are you asking for?”
“That... asked for 100 million.”
“what....? 1 million?”
A sum too large to give in exchange for information about a hidden village. Jegyu made an absurd expression at the assistant secretary's statement, but he said it as if he was unfair.
“This, too, has been cut as much as possible. The original request was 500 million.”
“Ha... You just do whatever you want to see. Damn information peddlers.”
It is an amount that is difficult to collect even if you work hard for 3-4 years from getting a job at a company and save money. Jegyu's face turned stern as he wondered if he should give it to an unknown person in the corner of the room who was just lying quietly in the capsule and playing games.
“Are you certain about that information? If it's false information...”
“You don't have to worry about that part. If the related information is false, I plan to write a contract by paying a penalty for this and meet it in person.”
“In real life?”
“yes.”
“.....”
Jegyu’s expression softened even more at the words of the attendant’s secretary that he intended to meet him in real life.
It is also true that the parent body of GM is none other than the Korean conglomerate, the GM Group. No sane person would have dared to commit a fraudulent scam against the GM Group, as long as his identity was revealed.
“Once I get it. As long as the information was clear, I was willing to pay about 100 million won.”
Jaegyu knew better than anyone else the value of information in Arcadia. Wouldn't even he himself have almost reaped astronomical gains just by obtaining an advance plan that would lead to a war? Of course, because the war was canceled, it was only a weak profit.
“All right. Then...we'll deal with it that way.”
“Ah, by the way... the user nickname is... Choco Piezoa, right? Did you know anything about that user?”
Choco Pie Joe.
Now, he rules the slime, which has become the strongest monster that he cannot dare to touch, at will, reveals the dwarf and elven villages for the first time, and even battles between unknown angels and demons related to the world tree. Everyone who saw what he showed in the video had the same thought.
‘If only we could get that person into our guild's hands...' ‘
If we could share even a part of the related quests and work together to break it...
‘ if....?'
invitation.
A user who looks like a duck with a belly full of golden eggs. Strangely enough, however, there was little information about him on the Internet. That's why everyone is desperately looking for him. Jaegyu was one of those people.
“Oh that’s...”
“Why is it difficult?”
An attendant secretary with a puzzled face and slurred speech. He sighed and said with a dark expression.
“That... I recently found out that one of our agency’s BJs had been in close contact with that Choco Piezoa user.”
“what....?”
As if surprised by those words, Jegyu opened his eyes wide and asked back. To him, the attendant's assistant waved his hand around in the air, and soon a window opened in front of Jegyu's eyes.
“Recently, a BJ named ‘Younghee' and ‘Bruce', who were recruited from our side, jointly filmed a video, and there was Choco Piejoa in the form of an invited guest by chance.”
[If everyone is gathered, let's go to punish the orcs.]
A video of Young-hee and Bruce following Young-hee and Bruce as they silently hunt slimes, then leave the party and lead the slimes to an orc colony. Seeing that, Jegyu said with an absurd expression.
“what? Was this video made while filming with our BJs? Why didn't I know that until now?”
It was a situation where people from his agency accompanied and even talked. However, since there has been no report on the related content so far, Jegyu's eyes have turned cold.
“That’s it... At that time, it was a situation where we didn’t sign a contract, so it seems that the agency was late in grasping the situation and dealing with related issues. sorry.”
“You're stupid. At least if you had followed that user's instructions, you might have been in contact with them until now.”
In the video, Jegyu ruthlessly rejected his offer and eventually saw even the viewers watching the broadcast fly away. He muttered, clicking his tongue as if he was pathetic.
“Considering the fact that Choco Paijoa has been consistently uncooperative from the beginning, it may have been difficult, but... Anyway, I will continue to track it.”
“If you find it, recruit it unconditionally. I don't care how much it costs, so make sure to make it on our side by all means.”
“Okay...then I’ll take care of it right away.”
After saying that, the attendant secretary left the room. Even after he left, Jegyu read the stack of papers for a long time and was lost in thought.
“It's a village of dwarves...”
The GM upper class was created based on the capital of the GM Group.
Although Jegyu's father and chairman Choi Chun-sik was very angry at the group's image as a whole suffered a painful loss due to the recent exposure video of instigating a war, and there was no further funding support, but his top group was still on the rise.
“Top Financial Position.”
A gigantic spear appeared in front of Jegyu's muttering. It was full of complex figures and graphs and consisted of dozens of pages. And for a long time, Jaegyu carefully checked the contents of it and smiled while looking at the total assets listed at the end.
- Estimated total assets: 5124651 Gold
His top started with 500,000 gold when he first started. Although the war was abolished, after that, a rare massacre called a witch hunt took place, and thanks to skyrocketing grain prices, Jae-gyu made a huge profit and was revived as a knight. Even after that, he was running the upper ranks fairly reliably, making full use of the talents of the lineage of being a member of a chaebol family.
“If only I could preoccupy the dwarves’ village and secure an exclusive position in dealing with them...”
Jae-gyu, whose hatred for Chairman Choi Chun-sik was properly embedded. But he promised. He said that he would definitely return to the business war with the presidency by creating huge operating profits that other brothers could not achieve through Arcadia. Jae-gyu's eyes were terribly full of venom as he recalled the plans to achieve them.
“I must... I must find the dwarves first.”
But Jaegyu didn't know.
The fact that while his assistant faithfully followed the instructions and bought information from a user by paying 100 million won, the location of the village of elves and dwarves he so desperately wanted was kindly spread on the map of Arcadia with a marking on it. I mean.
