Chapter 278 It's Not a Dragon (1)
The G-1, the first smartphone developed by Ajin Electronics.
The revolutionary level of G-1, which is different from the existing mobile phone, took over the world market so quickly, and the operating system ‘Argos', which is basically installed in this smartphone, created a new scalability and huge ecosystem called application. and monopolized all shares.
[Ajin Electronics' G series accounts for 92% of the global wireless communication device market. Also, in the case of Argos's operating system, it reaches 99%. There is no precedent in history for a company to dominate the world market so quickly and at such an absurd level. The reason this was possible was probably thanks to the full support of the US governnt.]
The US governnt was more active than anyone else in the spread of smartphones in its own country.
At the national level, it paid outrageous amounts of subsidies, made it possible for US citizens to carry smartphones one by one, actively intervened in the regulations and sanctions of nurous foreign governnts, and the Departnt of Comrce actively intervened. Argos helped him to play an active role. And as a result, the US governnt was able to complete one huge system.
Project Prism.
Integrated Intelligence Surveillance System Eye of Argos.
A backdoor system secretly built into the operating system program called G-1 and Argos. Through it, it was possible to collect all the information in the world without limit, and in the vast sea of information, they were able to find what they needed so much.
[warning. Terrorism targeting the United States is imminent.]
[Probability of occurrence 99%.]
[Please identify relevant suspects and evidence.]
Proactively providing information and warning of all terrorists and criminals threatening national security. prevention system. Through this, the US governnt was able to achieve the splendid feat of catching and arresting dozens of terrorists and criminals every day, creating a safe nation unprecedented in history.
And in the process, Argos also detected the plot of the Japanese governnt.
[Detection of anomalies within the Japanese governnt.]
[Conspiracy of threat to Arcadia.]
[Risk level... ha. Threats to top managers 0%.]
An extrely low-risk conspiracy. However, since the target was obviously a company closely related to his owner and top manager, Minsu, Argos took additional asures voluntarily.
[Provides related information to Alice.]
An existence that is like her alter ego and another virtual reality. To provide that information to the artificial intelligence contemplating Arcadia.
* * *
That ti when things are complicated in reality.
Jaeyoung was working on an experint with Hair, an NPC he had recently picked up in Arcadia.
Perong.
Kwak Kwa Kwam.
A scarecrow flew away in an instant with a huge explosion sound. However, seeing that, Hair couldn't hide his disappointnt.
“Haa... Failed again this ti.”
[Theory on energy condensation using mana and bombardnt using it.]
This theory, first conceived by Hair and developed by Jaeyoung... no, Geppetto, has reached the level of making prototypes in reality.
[Prototype: 21 undecided.]
This mysterious object whose na has not even been decided.
This prototype, which Hair burned his soul with materials provided by Jaeyoung, was not recognized as an item, but rather as a form of a building.
“No, the mana stone had enough mana, but why is it so weak? why! Why is this!”
The 21st prototype created through nurous experints and trials and errors.
However, even with so many improvents and modifications, Hair had no choice but to beco sensitive to problems that could never be fixed.
[Hmm..... It doesn't seem to be much different from the level of the mana stone.]
Geppetto dwelling in Jaeyoung's body.
As if he couldn't abandon his nature as a magic engineer, he muttered intriguedly as he watched all of his experints one by one next to Heir.
[When energy is ejected using a low-grade mana stone and when using a high-grade mana stone. The difference between the destructive power of the two is about 2 tis. If a top-notch mana stone has this level of destructive power... it won't be practical.]
The process of extracting all the mana stored in the mana stone and ejecting it in the form of pure energy. All of that worked perfectly as Hair had intended, but the destructive power was far different from what was expected.
“To think that the result of consuming all the mana of the top-notch mana stone is the destructive power of a Fireball... This is really worth the money.”
Top quality mana stones that cost at least 100 gold each.
Considering the value of the Mana Stone, the best crafting material and experintal tool, Jaeyoung muttered with a bitter smile as it was a prototype with performance that could never be used in actual combat.
profit.
A top-class mana stone that bursts out of the prototype while exhaling compressed steam.
Originally, it was a mana stone that was supposed to emit soft light with full of blue mana, but perhaps it was because all the mana was consud by the attack just now, it emitted a dark light and looked ugly.
[All mana has been depleted. Mana will recover naturally, but it will probably take at least 5 years to regain its original form.]
“Huh? Does it take that long?”
[That was also kept to a minimum. As far as I know, when mana stones are depleted, it can take about 5 to 10 years or more depending on the surrounding environnt to recover naturally. In addition, in the current case, the mana stone itself is overloaded due to the rapid depletion of mana, so it is unknown whether
the mana stone itself can recover to its previous level.
Jaeyoung. I was checking the related information through the item details window, but looking at it, Hair said with a downcast face.
“I’m sorry. For no reason, he threw the precious top-notch mana stone because of ...”
In the process of developing the prototype No. 21, he needed a huge amount of goods and materials, but penniless Hair didn't have any money. Therefore, the goods used in all these experints and developnt were all from Jaeyoung's pocket.
That's why Hair feels guilty and bitter about this failure. At his words, Jaeyoung waved his hand as if it was a misunderstanding.
“huh? no no no I didn’t spend much, but what?”
“yes....?”
Heir gave a rather puzzled look at the word that he hadn't used it in a while. If you add up the prices of the mana stones and materials he had consud so far, it was an astronomical amount well over 10,000 gold. An experint that would have been stopped imdiately due to lack of budget if it had been conducted in chanium. However, the existence in front of Hair's eyes spoke with a disinterested expression.
“Anyway, everything was written with things rolling around. It doesn't matter, so don't worry too much about it.”
“Is that so?”
Colossal amount of goods sleeping in Kervenian's rare.
In fact, Jaeyoung did nothing special because all kinds of magic materials were literally piled up like a mountain to the extent that it was impossible to organize the items. All he had to do was ask the warehouse keeper, the Golden Goblin, to bring out the materials he requested.
“Rather than that... If it's this level of destructive power even with the highest quality mana stones, I think I've made a big mistake. Do you know why?”
Hair is taken aback by Jaeyoung's sudden question. However, he soon calmly ca to his senses and began to ponder seriously, organizing his theories in his head.
“Um... I’m not sure?”
Hair's head went completely dark, as if he had no idea. Even after dozens of experints, there was no change in destructive power, so he was completely blocked.
“okay....?”
Jaeyoung is a bit disappointed with that statent. I glanced at El with an eye as if asking what had happened, but she only shrugged her shoulders and smiled strangely.
“What I saw was not wrong. I can’t tell you exactly, but I can still see it clearly.”
Jaeyoung and Hair.
A gigantic causal storm raging between the two. In the middle of a huge twist of fate, L could feel that another narrative was being created recently.
“Soon there will be a great storm on this continent.”
An epic story on a colossal scale that engulfs the entire continent of Arcadia. L muttered as he looked at Hair, who was groaning and wrapping his head with a faint look at the intense premonition he had felt for the first ti in a long ti.
“No matter what happens, I hope we can bring peace to the entire continent through this child.”
“What are you talking about from earlier, you damn chicken. Please speak in a way that is easy to understand.”
“You shut up. I'm just saying the best I know.”
L does not back down and reacts to Tan's sudden quarrel. As the quarrel between the two started like that, Jaeyoung was lost in thought.
‘Is the scenario the boss said about starting...?'
Continental unification, the first main scenario chaos that has already been announced in advance.
It was a situation where he had been earnestly asked to stop that, so Jae-young was engulfed in trouble.
‘What can I do? Should I just go and wipe it all out?'
He also thought of using his spiritual powers to wreak havoc on the Shōen Empire. However, after a brief calculation, the plan had to be abandoned.
‘No..... I don't think the calculation of the probability balance will match, and if that's the case, it's better to induce a war to break out.'
A skill enhancent that is so powerful that the word fraud cos out.
However, it was absolutely not a skill that could be easily used due to its cost-effectiveness that was so close to atrocious. Especially to use it for a war with a huge empire beyond 1:1 battles.
‘Even if I die, I don't want to get involved with those fucking perverts again...' Jae-young
pondered over and over again, not wanting to get involved with deck fan dance even if he died because he didn't know what he would ask for. As I was contemplating how to derive the optimal thod, I heard Hair's words in my ears.
“Ho, can we go to the magic library?”
Hair asked with a determined face as if he had decided on sothing.
In response to his question, Jaeyoung turned around and asked what he was talking about.
“what?”
“That... If you look for the magic books kept in the Mage Tower, you might be able to figure out another way. There aren't that many books I've read...”
Hair muttered cautiously with a sullen face. Honestly confessing that there are many things he does not know, he said with lively eyes thirsty for learning.
“There must be a way to solve this problem sowhere.”
Hair firmly believes that his theory is not wrong. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung suddenly smiled at the thought.
“The Magic Library in the Mage Tower... has so many books?”
“All existing books related to the theory of demonic magic will be kept.”
Arcadia, a dieval fantasy world where magic exists.
The magic books that exist here are divided into two types.
A magic book, a special book that can acquire magic skills.
A magic theory book containing miscellaneous theories about magic that helps raise intelligence.
Of course, for general users, magic theory books were just useless things that they skimd through for the sake of stats, but it was different for general NPCs like Hair.
Hair was truly agonizing over the magic theory written in it.
At his request, Jaeyoung held out his hand with a strange smile.
“Then let’s go sowhere other than there.”
“yes....? Where are you going...?”
Hyr asked with a questioning look. However, Jaeyoung didn't say anything and signaled to grab hold of his hand. And when Hair hesitated for a mont and held his hand, Jaeyoung quietly recited a starter word.
“Move to hideout.”
Ugh.
only once a day.
A skill only for adventurers who can move to a place registered as their hideout.
When it was activated, a huge magic circle ford under Jaeyoung and Hair's feet.
“What the hell is this...?”
Hair looks at Jaeyoung with astonished eyes. But before he could say anything, an intense light completely filled his eyes.
spot.
Surroundings completely transford with a radiance of brilliant light.
Hair couldn't close his gaping mouth at the sudden change and the sight that unfolded around him.
“What the hell is this...”
A cavity so huge that one dare not asure its scale.
And a mountain made of gold coins with yellow brilliance piled neatly inside it.
Hair's pupils trembled madly as he saw the treasures of great value and countless magical materials piled up there.
“Welco to my lair.”
He greeted him with a smile and boasting. However, at Jaeyoung's words, Hair suddenly fell on his face with his head on the floor.
The dragon's rare that was only heard in the old stories of legends.
Hair, who first set foot here, trembled and responded to his greeting with a pitiful voice.
“A lowly man ets a great being.”
