Chapter 604 – Metaverse
Era.
I thought that the world would change for a long time in the future.
In reality, that is not the case.
The lives of ordinary people have not changed dramatically.
Flying car.
Universalization of spacecraft.
Those things didn’t come true.
─Mobile phones should at least change like this!!
Ultra-slim: Thickness of 7 mm or less
Camera: 20 million pixels or more
Memory: 700 GB or more
Internet: Like a computer
Touch screen: Mouse functions with your finger
Other miscellaneous things: calculator, text, video call, etc.
Future mobile phones should be like this!
└Why are you using your phone on your laptop, you idiot?
└This is not a computer, digital camera, or mp3 ㅡ
└Who makes it and who buys it?
└Stop watching movies and cartoons
There is a moment that touches you.
The fact is that the world has developed.
The unbelievable becomes reality.
10 years ago, it was the smartphone.
“Wow…, What is that?”
“The character is dancing?”
“There’s a lot of fuss about the metaverse these days!”
Another change is coming.
It is an idol performance unfolding before your eyes.
〈♪♬♪∼♪∼♬♪♬∼♬♪∼♩♪∼♩♬♪∼〉
It’s not a person.
It’s not even a video.
Something strange is alive and moving.
“You know the Metaverse! For those of you who don’t know, it means a virtual world realized like reality. It’s real, real, scary, cool, and cool.”
“Ah, yes…”
Field staff will provide explanations.
People who see it for the first time may be amazed.
The idol dances.
The appearance suddenly changes.
As if the game had jumped out into reality.
“Technology is crazy these days.”
“How on earth do they do it?”
“The world has really changed.”
Metaverse.
It’s a hot topic recently.
The boundary between reality and virtuality has become blurred.
Pokémon Go! Was the starting point.
You can view augmented reality through your cell phone.
Match! Match! Mate!
Now I can see it with my own two eyes.
Idols are given avatars.
So naturally.
The sight of it being turned on/off gives an exclamation.
“”It was prestige!””
The performance was also great.
The atmosphere at the concert of a famous girl group heats up.
What on earth is the metaverse?
When the interest of passers-by explodes.
“Thank you to everyone who attended! The VR concert just now was jointly planned by our Game Expo and the girl group Prestige…”
The planner comes out and makes a presentation.
This is why amazing technology was unfolding.
Game Expo.
It is the largest game expo in Korea.
Welcome to a changing era.
“Oh, that’s what it was!”
“It somehow felt like a game~”
“Is this why we do metaverse and metaverse?”
It was prepared.
So that visitors to the venue can recognize it at a glance.
It is also a topic that runs through the current gaming industry.
We are facing a cataclysm.
“The non-face-to-face society triggered by COVID-19 is raising the need for a metaverse. Just as Prestige has just transformed into her avatar, we can also become new selves and become active in the online space!”
Games are not just entertainment.
That era has come to an end.
Connects reality and virtuality.
It showed that it can be that intermediate bridge.
Match! Match! Mate!
The meaning of the concert just before.
It touches the hearts of visitors.
Many people are already paying attention.
Numerous companies and investors.
“A game can do something like this?”
“In the end, it involves IT technology.”
“I thought games were only for kids…”
Non-face-to-face society.
With the spread of COVID-19, it started to be semi-compulsory.
It’s better than I thought.
It works better than expected.
What if this continues?
“Even if the coronavirus pandemic ends, people who have realized the convenience of a non-face-to-face society will not easily go back. This is a worthy investment.”
The world changes.
What is at the center is the ‘metaverse’.
Even in a non-face-to-face society, we still need to keep in touch.
It is possible within the game.
Buzz, buzz!
Why this game expo is attracting attention.
The value of the game is being re-evaluated.
The ransom of game companies is also rising.
Planners and visitors think so.
“Huh…”
“Thank you for your hard work!”
“I heard it was VR, so I did something, but there was nothing special.”
The person who performed.
It is not felt by the members of Prestige.
It’s just applied with VR technology.
I danced on stage the same as usual.
Gulp! Gulp!
It is equally difficult.
Moving your body with all your might while facing the hot lights.
“I think it’s definitely different for the audience.”
“I saw it during rehearsal.”
“What game character did you say you resemble?”
I want it to be worth it.
It wasn’t like that before.
‘It’s an opportunity I’ve been waiting for…’
Small and medium-sized agency.
Intermediate awareness.
The events you can participate in are limited.
This is also the reason why growth has stagnated.
I had no choice but to stay as a second-tier idol.
“Now that I think about it, there are a lot of people who seem to like games.”
“Oh really!”
“It smells a little like sweat…”
Game Expo
Working as a promotional model is a great opportunity.
Game fans and girl group fans overlap.
There are a lot of men who could potentially become fans.
“Kids.”
“”?””
“Since we have become a model for game expos, we cannot say anything disrespectful to game fans. Even if we don’t say it, fans can tell.’
Make your name known.
Build up images.
It can be a stepping stone.
Take control as the leader of the group.
To make the most of this opportunity.
“No matter how much they look like otakus who play games in the corner of their room all day, let’s treat each one of them with sincerity as if they are our precious fans.”
This is an opportunity that was obtained with great difficulty.
This is thanks to CEO Lee Chan-wook’s attention.
They must not lose it due to their own mistakes.
The members also sympathize with Isabel’s words.
‘Well, I didn’t say that much.’
‘Too much to talk about…’
‘On a topic that is loose-fitting.’
That’s why I can’t help but think a lot.
It was hostile until not long ago.
I hated Lee Chan-wook.
I know the reason very well.
I was treated badly.
It’s not strange if resentment boils over.
‘If you become more famous…, Would you please eat more?’
It stimulated my fetish.
Thanks to her beautiful appearance, she has lived a proud life.
Truly an idol.
It was a natural result to walk the path of an idol.
I also have a lot of personal fans.
Love calls from broadcasters are also pouring in.
I see myself living a life like Changchang.
《Even in the Cheongnyangni brothel, I won’t be able to work if things get tight like this. You are a slut who is more herbal than this whore.》
Treat them harshly.
Treated like a rag.
It was a shock I had never experienced in my life.
Gulp!
Just thinking about it makes my whole body tremble like an aspen tree.
My throbbing lower abdomen desperately wants it.
A real dick.
The first real sex I had in my life was enough to change my entire outlook on life.
‘I’ll be a bitch that’s worth selling…’ … ♡’
An indelible fetish sprouts.
* * *
Stock price rose.
It causes a strange phenomenon.
‘A new logic is born.’
The stock price is too high?
Why does it go up like this?
At first, I deny it.
It makes no sense.
This can’t be happening.
If it rises above this level, it is a bubble.
Korean Newspaper− “NFT·Metaverse craze… “Game owners flocking to foreigners and institutions”
Fact News− 「[Game Expo 2021] Metaverse is the ‘connection’ between virtual and reality”
Ignore it.
If you keep going up, people’s thoughts will change.
“I already knew that the metaverse was a hot topic. But I couldn’t figure out why it was going up…”
Such changes.
Institutional investors need to know.
Where attention is focused.
‘Because money tends to flow in.’
Even Sora knows.
But the head and reason refuse to accept it.
“So now there is a conflict of opinion. There is a difference between innovation and bubbles.”
“Just make your breasts bigger.”
“Why does that come out?”
CW Securities.
It’s running well even while I’m away.
Although the time itself is not that busy.
‘To increase profits.’
We need to jump into this ridiculous bubble market.
It is extremely difficult.
I don’t understand the reason for the rise.
I can guess what you are worried about.
“Have you ever played a game?”
“Of course there is.”
“Have you ever created an ID?”
“Who do you think is a fool?”
It is a hot topic in the world.
Metaverse.
About this new logic.
‘The more you know, the more puzzling it becomes.’
Is it just a game?
Why all of a sudden?
People in their 20s and 30s think that way.
“But what do older people think?”
“I don’t know.”
“Isn’t it amazing? I become a new version of myself there.”
Oh, it’s a metaverse!
It’s a new world!
It’s surprising from the outsiders’ point of view.
Why?
Because I haven’t tried it.
Because I never thought about understanding.
Daily News− 「10 years of the shutdown system that created the frame of ‘game = evil’」
Gaming was defined as a social evil.
It was even classified into disability and disease.
That was really recently.
I’ve never thought seriously about games.
“If you express a game in a stereotypical way, it becomes a metaverse. Games are hard to accept, but the metaverse is different.”
“It sucks, but I understand.”
Can we meet online?
You can have meetings too?
Are you saying you also hold ancestral rites?
It’s so novel.
There are people who believe in it and invest.
‘If that kind of money goes into it.’
Stock prices rise.
New logic is also created.
Such a situation is being created.
Wealth around the world.
Those who have most of them are middle-aged people in their 50s or older.
Buzz, buzz!
They are gathering.
This game expo has become the center of the Korean stock market.
‘Whether the metaverse and NFTs are illusions or not.’
The important thing is that it makes money.
