Chapter 663 – Conversation.
It was just 10 minutes before Dre and Jinpae came to the arena of reconciliation.
Still, Shunichi, who waited for as long as possible, believing that Jinpae would come soon, could no longer ignore the audience’s dissatisfaction.
I made them wait for too long, and everyone gathered here are leaders or strong people at the top.
In particular, there were even warriors and swordsmen from each country with whom they had to form good relations.
Even the rankers who did not like the semi-forced collaboration with the main store entered, and after a commotion, it became an atmosphere that could not be delayed any longer.
In the end, Shunichi started a forum for dialogue.
“Please be quiet, everyone. Let’s talk about it now.”
As the hall suddenly became quiet, Shunichi spoke softly.
“Conversation. This is the beginning.”
As soon as he finished speaking, one of them raised his hand.
He was a well-informed user called an explorer.
“You said it was a place of harmony, but what did you mean by Daejeon?”
And rankers. Then he looked at Poizune in turn.
“Looking at the process so far, I think the word war would be more suitable than unity.”
The explorer had a very sharp voice.
That was right.
Actually it was.
A show of force under the guise of unity. Get collaborators. Because it caused a clan member appeasement.
But there was no need to spit out the truth.
Shunichi answered calmly.
“It’s a place of harmony. Our head office intends to end this pitiful and boring race that has already been 10,000 years old by disclosing top-notch information that has not been disclosed anywhere else.”
The hall becomes quiet again at the unconventional remarks.
“What about limited-time information?”
“I’ll tell you about that in a minute. Then first…”
Where should I start talking?
Shunichi was strong in fighting, but lacked verbal skills.
‘I’m sure it won’t be appealing if I say it…’
Chijik.
Suddenly, the huge screen behind Shunichi shook.
And a man’s face came out.
Kang Goo-han’s face.
It was a face known externally as the chairman.
“Hot. He’s a big man.”
Poise straightened as soon as he snorted.
It was because they sensed an enormous presence entering the arena of dialogue agreement.
At the entrance.
A monster creeps in.
[The faithful Machia enters!]
Faithful Machia.
1st place in user ranking.
Everyone at her that her brilliant title turned her head up to her kitz and looked at her.
What was there was a beautiful girl in white, as if there was nothing black in the pure white world.
She was walking lightly into the hall with her eyes closed as usual.
While people couldn’t take their eyes off the president, he smiled and said.
“Makia is our biggest collaborator.”
Collaborator?
Users, people were buzzing.
That Machia is on the same side as the main store.
Everyone thought it would be so based on the circumstances so far, but this was the first time it was confirmed.
That beautiful…And yet untouchable existence. Headquarters collaborators.
Even Teiya, who was frivolous and professed to be a woman, couldn’t move.
Obviously beautiful
He was more attractive than any woman he had ever hugged.
Still, I don’t feel anything.
To be precise, only the feeling of awe.
‘What is this.’
When he was young, when he saw a giant monster, Teiya felt bewildered.
A being like that sided with an organization?
Is it okay? Isn’t that against equity? I was thinking the same thing.
“Also, the rankers here. Except for the 3rd place Mr. Poise, all of you are collaborating with the head office.”
Buzz buzz.
The uproar grew.
More than half of the transcendents of the other world collaborate with the head office?
“Ah?!?! Who-.”
“Wait a minute Mai. Calm down…”
“…Hmm.”
Angry maya Dried Adele. O’Brien watching the situation.
“Also, the famous warriors and two swordsmen gathered here. Also, the empire and principality to which they belong are discussing a long-term deal with us.”
A tremendous buzz.
The story is different from before.
Users are powerful people with minimal strength, but their forces are relatively weak compared to the Elyunars.
Nonetheless, they are a formidable force, and on top of that, close to ten large clans to which rankers belong are collaborating?
It was an event that was difficult to imagine for users who originally competed infinitely.
But don’t stop there, cooperate with the Elyunar people?
That is also the representative of human beings, such as the hero and the swordsman.
A holy kingdom that has a great influence on the world and is overflowing with fanatics. And those two swordsmen belonged to the principality and the empire.
That they might collaborate?
The scale gets too big.
If that statement is true, the main point is to completely erase the disadvantages of users who had relatively little influence.
It wasn’t just the rankers who were called out that were noisy.
Clan leaders of large clans with no rankers, but with high-ranking users, and a small number of strong players jumped to their feet.
“You said the word was harmony, but is it an illusion to hear it as a threat?”
“You rankers will join forces to persecute the users under your feet, so all I can hear is to cooperate.”
Young man. Then the old man got up and protested, and the chairman smiled.
“I’m sorry if it sounds like that, but we have to show that our headquarters is at this level so that you can have confidence in the story we will tell you in the future.”
“What…”
That this major incident is just the beginning?
The chairman continued to speak, ignoring trivial questions.
“Everyone gathered here, have you seen the products of our main store?”
Users were silent.
There’s no way I couldn’t see
It was obviously only a small tent, but once inside, not only was it a spacious space comparable to a two-story country house, but also modern technology that operated with electricity, not magic tools, was melted into it.
Compressing and simplifying such things?
It was to the point of shuddering at the unprecedented technology of the head office.
Ga-woon and female swordsman originally came with the intention of hearing the story, but after seeing the items, they changed their minds.
Although the head office has been producing and distributing many products until now, the technology of the head office that I actually saw was literally on a different level.
He also added that such things can be mass-produced.
Katz thought that this would not work.
To be honest, strong people below a certain level won’t help much in the future fight against super strong people.
It doesn’t matter if you lose Chuck, but it’s a different story if everyone who lost the Chuck collaborates.
‘It will be very annoying.’
I had to stop it somehow.
“Chairman. What is the special information to finish the race you mentioned earlier?”
For a moment, a commotion arose among the users.
It was because he knew that the true hero, Kitz, knew about the user’s race.
However, both the president and Kaitsu stared at each other, regardless of the reactions around them.
The chairman smiled at Kitz’s question.
And I opened my eyes to the answer that came out.
“The Demon Palace of the Abyss, the Holy Palace of the Celestial Palace, the Eight Kings, the Five Great Beasts, and the Dragon’s Grave…”
Every time the words continued, the facial expressions of the users changed every moment.
Everyone knows.
I heard pieces of it while doing quests… Important keywords in this world.
Katz was also shocked.
I don’t know where the heck I heard it, but now the chairman said seven of the important keywords Dre mentioned.
“It’s a lot more information than that.”
“…”
Than something like that? Everyone couldn’t come to their senses.
Suddenly, the face completely belonged to the chairman.
“Yes. I’ll be honest. It’s not about this Askatlov subjugation that we are trying to unite.”
The president spread his arms.
“Beyond that. A special quest… To reach the true end of this race.”
No way. Kitz opened his eyes and Garcinido stood up.
“Everyone. You must have heard of the existence of Shinsoo Quest for the first time.”
Katz felt bewildered.
What is it?
It is true that the chairman is a special person with a special talent.
However, I have never reached this information in any of the rounds…!
“Divine Beast Quest…?”
“What is it?”
“Is this the main quest…?”
The chairman waited for the commotion to subside before speaking.
“The Five Great Gods are messengers who follow the will of the Ryunar dimension. You must complete the quests given to them to clear the minimum conditions for this race.”
Users groaned.
“Then… If you don’t receive quests from divine beasts, then you can’t become a winner no matter what you do?”
“Such… Why didn’t any god tell me this? Isn’t that a lie?”
“It’s probably because of the restrictions. There’s no reason for the headquarters to tell lies that will soon be discovered.”
If that’s the case… It’s really limited information.
The users waited for the chairman’s words with faces full of expectations.
“And now, our head office has laid out the details of how to obtain this divine beast quest and how to proceed.”
It was also said to be the closest thing to a winner of this race.
‘That must be a bluff.’
However, now Kitz had no way to prove that it was a bluff.
Kitz had been hiding himself without saying a word about the new beast quest until now, and unlike the users, he was an Elunar.
It’s easy to show off a lot of information now and draw attention.
However, the main guest is evangelism.
Based on that information, Kitz had to monopolize his power.
If you reveal information that only you know, you may get attention right away, but you will be treated as a suspicious person.
‘The way you seem to know that.’
Something is strange.
Something that Kitsu doesn’t know is lurking behind…!
“As I said before, we are very eager to finish this pitiful race.”
A quiet left.
Only the president’s voice resounds.
“That’s why we want to give everyone who collaborates with us at least a chance to receive this Shinsou Quest!”
Buzz buzz. In the midst of the commotion, one user raised his hand.
“But in the end, isn’t it unchanging that you, the people above you, have an advantage?”
“That’s right. After the top rankers take a huge stake in the battle against Askatlov, the gap will be out of control.”
When the eyes asked what to do with this, the chairman replied casually.
“How is that?”
At the words of the chairman, the atmosphere became chilly.
“You seem to be mistaken, but we were originally competitors. And that was also the position of infinite competition for an end without a promise.”
In the meantime, it’s not enough to provide a clue to clear, so he says he’ll be with you.
Isn’t this a great mercy?
“Of course, as you said, rankers over there. It’s true that people like me have an advantage. But will your situation improve if you stay still like this? It’s more likely to put all your luck, skill, and effort into unknown territory that no one knows about yet. Wouldn’t it?”
It was like that too.
The gap between rankers and regular users is vast.
If there is still uncharted territory, it might be better to compete on that new starting line.
“And some of these people just want to stop competing and enjoy the natural comforts of hard work.”
That’s right too.
Are there high rankers who want to create the world they want? Most of them were satisfied with their current situation.
Some said it didn’t matter who won as long as this race was over.
“I promise. Our headquarters. And if one of the collaborators becomes the winner, we will take care of your old age.”
It was an act similar to the one in which the gods succumbed to the high gods and chose to save the inhabitants of their own world.
But it was definitely a sweet offer.
“Also, we promise. If you cooperate with us, we will immediately provide you with all kinds of information about this subjugation. We will provide you with a customized curriculum so that you can grow greatly. It was thanks to this that I was able to reach the ranker!!”
Genius. Poongmok Nando Shin Jin-pae.
People had a lot of doubts about his rapid growth, and the head office now said that the secret was the head office’s curriculum.
A quest tailored to the individual from the beginning, rather than trying to find one’s own path by rushing in and failing. Armor. Providing skills and the like… Was so attractive.
Half doubters. Half believer.
The chairman continued to shout.
“Also, there will be an appropriate reward according to the public value!!”
It wasn’t just words.
The head office staff distributed the documents.
The documents handed out contained detailed information about the curriculum and public rewards.
The chairman explained in detail about the overwhelming firearms and magic tools that the head office possesses, how to use them to support them, and the points, money, and experience points that can only be used at the head office.
Everyone was gradually losing their mind.
Except for rankers.
They didn’t like the situation.
It is said to provide new opportunities, but if it has such overwhelming influence and power, and considering that its potential is still hidden… In the end, the final winner is the main store.
“Of course, the main shop will provide equal prizes to our clan members and you, without discrimination.”
No. Exactly, the president will win.
The head office is nothing more than a foothold for Chairman Jeo.
Maybe it’s the stepping stone of Macia?
Fighter Maya saw the Elyunarians.
Those including the warriors and swordsmen would not understand this conversation.
Due to restrictions imposed by the gods, it would either not be heard at all, or it would sound different.
However, as a countermeasure, another tempting proposal was automatically translated and shown to the warriors and swordsmen.
Being super strong, they sensed that they were receiving a different explanation from the strangers.
However, the suggestions shown to them were so great that they did not care.
Information power of the head office. Technology.
And the collaboration of all the strong.
I really started to think that winning the race would not be a dream.
The relatively weak users grabbed their wealth.
“It’s not good…”
Kowski’s murmur.
It feels like everything is going according to plan.
At this rate… I really thought I might have to leave my clan.
And.
“True warrior. You must have more information than anyone else in the world.”
Everyone paid attention to Kitz.
They realized that the president’s intention was to appease them and at the same time keep that hero in check.
In other words, it was threatened that it would not be fun to cooperate with the hero.
True warrior. He looked at the president blankly.
“But you are hardly alone.”
“This is me!!”
Garcinido shouted, but the chairman shook his head.
“A warrior’s party. It’s true that the people are so great that it gives goosebumps, but it’s not a story that will be told by a small number of people. Do you have the confidence to take responsibility and lead others with your own power? Is there any information beyond that?”
Katz still didn’t answer.
No. I opened my mouth.
“Does not exist.”
The blunt answer of the original kaitz, not the acting kaitz.
The chairman laughed.
But. There will be no way for him now.
It would be reluctant to pass the information on to himself by saying something he knew, and from his point of view, the users and the Elyunars were not happy with it.
Even so, staying still would be a cushion of thorns.
‘I deserve to be angry, but I never thought I’d reveal my true colors.’
Chairman, the training was satisfactory.
Today seemed to go as planned.
And then Katz continued.
“I am.”
“…?”
I am…?
That moment.
[Pungmok Nando Shin Jin-pae is entering!!]
New loser? Come now?
People paid attention for a moment. But soon the interest will fade.
And then.
[Chijik… Chijijijijik.]
Weird noise.
[Glossitis? Frew? Instructor…N#%^ Yeodre? Is coming in.]
Everyone turned around at the groaning voice.
The noise that is not normally acceptable. Creeps.
A feeling that something inhuman is approaching.
And people realized a little belatedly that the man who had just entered the scene was the hottest topic recently.
Soo-ryun opened her mouth in a daze in the form of Kang Gu-han.
‘Why is he with Yeo-dre?’
Why is Shin Jinpae coming alongside Dre?
I couldn’t believe it, but once I trained, the chairman said as if he had been waiting.
“Welcome. Sword of Madness.”
“…”
[We had a lot of conversations. And, I was about to come to the conclusion that our head office could provide better quality information than the true warrior.]
The chairman laughed.
[Does the sword of light flame have something to say?]
Everyone pays attention to Dre.
All of them are what Katz said. I had nothing to say, but Dre didn’t know, which he assumed meant he had information.
However, there were no expectations.
These numerous benefits. Compensation.
In front of the overwhelming information, how can that individual…
“I’m working on the main quest Pryunar.”
The one who was yawning. This who looked at the chairman passionately. Who showed interest in Dre.
Rankers. Warriors. Swordsmen. And the people who followed Dre.
“Ah. Did you know that the quest name is ‘Teenage Family’?”
Not all of them understood what he was saying.
But. Subsequent reaction.
I knew the mood had changed when I saw more than two-thirds of the people rise from their seats and express their astonishment.
Main quest.
There were three routes, but it was treated as if there was no one.
It was inevitable that not a single person had received the quest in ten thousand years.
There are two reasons for its reliability.
One is that he is almost the only stranger among strangers who has become friends with a teenage family.
And… It was because of the fact that Shin Jin-pae from the main store was laughing like he was servile next to him.
‘What? Why are you two together… ?’
‘ The chairman also looks perplexed. Chairman and Shin Jin-pae. Are the two representatives of the head office confronting each other?’
‘Who’s going to decide who eats the main store?’
‘Or did Shin Jin-pae abandon the main point and join Dre?’
Amidst all sorts of speculations, the chairman and Su-ryun finally relaxed their hardened faces and opened their mouths.
“So? What does that have to do with the Shinsu Quest…”
“The Five Great Gods. The Turtle God who supports the world. The Holy Dragon. The Fire Dragon. The Yoho God.”
Everyone was silent.
And the moment I hear that word, I scream of joy and amazement at the system notification that wakes me up.
The secret of this world that users wanted to know, but did not know.
The name of the five divine beasts.
Quests that users had started to be updated with new information and upgraded quests.
“What… Sleep…”
Don’t wait for the president’s words.
Dre continued.
“Details of the Eight Demon Kings.”
“Sleep… Dregon!”
Garcinido stood up in surprise.
Not to mention the main quest, this information is also limited edition information.
Information that only true warriors should know…?
But Garcinido had no choice but to look back and stop.
Katz was laughing.
It’s like trying until you try. As if expecting
“An evil spirit of a former ghost. Dyragun of the Black Sea. Amura of the ecosystem of immortality. Her real name is Lenia. Frostia, the dragon of destruction. And… The purpose of this subjugation.
Tring! Ttiring ttiring!
Countless alarms ringing in my head.
But people, users didn’t care about that.
It was the same with Elyunar.
Dre was mentioning the name of a mythical creature… Just now.
Of course, these were obtained through other routes, not the main quest of Pryunar, but Dre spewed out the truth without blinking an eye.
He started spitting out the ten keywords of this world this time.
“Demon Palace of the Abyss. Holy Palace of the Heavens. Temple of the Three Gods.”
Then, when he said the eighth word, “Three Shrines,” Everyone gasped, and Dre grinned.
“Ah. Did you not know about the Three Shrines?”
“…”
In the silence of the president, Dre continued.
“All of this is information obtained while going through the Pryunar main quest, and another one.”
Dre raised his head.
“The Shinsu Quest is definitely the most important quest, but that alone doesn’t make you the winner of the race.”
While the hall was quiet, the chairman finally asked.
“How can you be sure?”
“Because I heard it myself.”
“…Directly?”
“To God Yoho.”
You said you met Shinsoo?
Even having a conversation?
Really?
Eyes of disbelief.
And Dre said to the observer, to the president.
“Mr. O’Brien. And ‘Shin Soo-ryun’.”
The chairman and Su-ryun were shocked.
O’Brien blinked his eyes and stood up to answer.
“Yes.”
“…!!”
New training? Who is it?
Doubts didn’t last long.
“You must have the skill to detect lies, right? Check it out.
“…Doesn’t exist.”
O’Brien’s voice trembled, knowing that Dre didn’t even know his skills, and that what he was saying was the truth.
Goo Han-eun, Chairman… Soo-ryun.
Whether it was because he revealed his identity or for some other reason, he was somehow dazed and finally opened his mouth.
“The fact that you met a divine beast called Yohoshin is different even if it’s real…”
But that was a mistake.
As soon as the chairman acknowledged Dre’s words, the players’ voices were covered with cheers.
The atmosphere went completely towards Dre…!
“Our Crafting Alliance!”
“We are a clan that makes entertainment items.”
“Mercenary Clan!!”
They talked about their values here and there.
Everyone in this place is said to be mine, and they would benefit from collaborating with anyone.
They wanted more information, or really wanted to be with Dre.
And Dre said.
“Are you guys sick?”
Suddenly, the room became quiet.
“What?”
Maiya, who was watching the situation with a somewhat sneering face, bit her teeth, and Dre spoke again.
“I can only see this as an idiot. To me.”
He shook his head and said.
“Why are you already discussing what will happen after the subjugation? Why do you think the subjugation is over?”
Dre spoke again to those who hesitated in their anger.
“Does Askatlov look like a dick?”
Remembrance. Dre pointed at Kitz.
“My boss, a true warrior. And according to the contract of the perish dragon Frostia… I competed with Askatlov’s illusion.”
With the cooperation of the monster king and the hero, you competed against the ghost king’s illusion?
Another interesting thing.
Accidents can’t catch up with the situation…!
Naturally, no one noticed that the warrior was floating.
“If I fought the illusion of Askatlov, I would have lost a hundred times. Shall I tell you the result of fighting him against all the forces I have seen so far, based on the illusion I fought?”
Dre said without the slightest remorse.
“At this rate, we will be annihilated.”
“…”
“…”
“…So. First of all, is it a story about everyone working together against a common enemy?”
At the words of Faltra, who was resting his chin on the sand chair… Dre shook his head.
“I’m trying not to get carried away. The enemy is a monster. The strongest creature… But. I believe that if you take it seriously, if you do your best, you will not be an opponent you can’t win.”
“? What do you want to say?”
Dre exclaimed.
“I’m not interested in faction fights. If you want to go under the main branch, that’s good. It’s definitely an excellent choice. Sometimes all I can give you is information.”
No one was in a hurry to open their mouths.
Dre said it was just information, but to be honest, it is information that is more important than 10,000 years of history.
Already, the benefits of the head office have become insignificant.
The one who holds that information is on the front line…
“I will periodically release the latest information I have obtained to all of you.”
What else are you talking about?
Even though you know that overwhelming information, you won’t go ahead? Why?
No, or was it a slip of the tongue? Did I misunderstand when I said to come under you?
As I try to understand what he’s saying, Dre continues again.
“I’m not asking you to be on my side. Please act of your own free will. Guys, I’m not saying that you need information and don’t sit under others’ eyes.”
Dre looked around the crowd.
“You came to this world at most. Have you ever been through a fantasy world and your heart fluttered?”
There was.
Forgotten mind.
The excitement that rankers still cherish.
“I’m having fun. Every day is full after coming here. But, now that you’re here… Are you saying you’re going to be raised in the system again? You’re fighting against a fearsome and powerful being called the King, but instead of having tension and excitement, you’re going to do politics.” Yo. This?”
All did not answer.
The cheers I felt when I first came to this world, fighting monsters and completing quests.
But soon you run into reality.
Oppression of the great clans and Elunars.
Disappointment that in the end this dreamy world also flows into the system.
Adaptation to the cold reality.
It’s something everyone has been through.
And not everyone seemed to like it.
Everyone loved thrilling adventures.
Dre was appealing to that feeling now, to go back then.
“Adaptation is easy. I know. Giving in to the system and eating its honeydew is also a choice. I have a choice. My choice is fun.”
I’ll deliberately come down from the overwhelming advantage for fun.
Dre said so.
“You do as you please. Whatever you choose is fine. Even if you want to attack me or cooperate with me, that’s up to you. But.”
Dre says to quiet people.
“Let’s not go without fun. We came all this way to pursue fun, right? If you keep being boring… I’ll stop sharing information. Just me alone, no. We’ll only go on quests with our warriors.”
People sorted Dre’s words into their minds and came to their conclusions.
First of all, the overwhelming advantage of information that the head office had shown had disappeared.
Dre will be at the forefront of information. He won’t monopolize the information.
He said.
You may cooperate with the head office.
I won’t mind doing anything else.
But as a result, when everything becomes boring.
I will not share that overwhelming information with you.
I mean.
It meant that users could ignore their words no matter how hard the head office tried.
As Dre says, by their will. It meant that they would be able to have their adventures.
Silence.
Beneath the silent auditorium. Said Dre.
“Are you dissatisfied?”
Wow! Shouts of cheers or anger.
Dre giggles.
And the moment Soo-ryun, whose plan was completely messed up, was about to scream.
Awesome!
The wind shattered the screen.
“…?! Shinjin…What are you doing…!”
Shin Jin-pae split the screen.
Debris pouring down on the floor of the window. While everyone was dazed, Shin Jin-pae banged on the chair he was supposed to be sitting on.
“Dre!! If you have anything more to say, would you like to sit here? Do you want a drink?”
Instead of answering, Dre shrugged his shoulders and moved on.
“First, let’s talk about Askatlov’s pattern.”
Oh oh oh!!
This time, only cheers were filled.
One thing for sure.
The main point failed.
Maybe… Worse than they thought.
Kitz saw a few changed eyes, convinced of it, and smiled contentedly.
And muttered
“Good job.”
[Fuck it.]
“…”
Kaizu, who had been silenced by the sound of salt waves, laughed incredulously.
“You’re back.”
It wasn’t Yeodere who was deeply immersed in thought, but the original, unapologetic Cheekdre.
