Shincon’s One Coin Clear - Chapter 118
Episode 118. The game overturns (2)
flashes.
The sun woke up in a dark room.
The limbs were fine.
He recovered completely by returning to the time before he was injured through a great mechanism.
There was no more sharp pain from the bone fragments that used to press on the nerves.
However, the memory remained as an experience, and it seemed as if he kept stabbing Taeyang on the back of his hand.
“Damn it.”
The sun spat out the insults first.
It doesn’t hurt, but it hurts.
It’s a funny feeling.
But it was not a strange feeling.
It was because it was a sensation I already felt enough while playing King of Fist.
Taeyang, who had the highest level of synchro rate, could feel the blow as well.
When you return to reality, you won’t get any injuries from being hit, but Taeyang once felt pain in the area he was hit in the game.
“Ugh far. What did you like about that pain?”
I did it to make money, but Taeyang wasn’t good at the game from the beginning.
The current Taeyang is a person who is worshiped as a god in the fighting game board, but Taeyang, who first encountered King of Fist, was just a promising gamer with some talent for the game.
What made him the best?
Talent? will?
innate? or effort?
A competitive spirit that is different from others?
“Oh what was it?”
Cheer.
While I was vaguely thinking, the unknown pain came up again in my left wrist.
“greatness.”
The sun’s brow narrowed.
Doctors expressed this phenomenon as Decoy Pain.
Painkillers were meaningless in this case.
Pavel, the doctor in charge of the sun, said that the method is to not access the game until the brain synchronizes with the current body.
Of course, in the case of the current Taeyang, he had to wait for his brain to match the synchro rate with the current state of the character connected to the game.
The sun suddenly looked down at his hand.
It was so realistic that there was no sense of realism.
How much time has passed since I connected to Dantalian.
You’ll have to ask Hyun-hye to find out, but it’s probably been at least three months.
For such a long time, I never disconnected and lived as a character in the game.
Anxiety reared its head in a corner of Taeyang’s heart.
When I log out, can my brain adapt to the real body?
what if there is no
back.
The sun curled up his left hand.
“Stop the weak voice.”
Taeyang entered a game competition to earn money.
Why did you have to earn money.
To try to serve one person somehow in a house where parents live together after losing their parents.
And I did it to repay the favor I received from them and to feed my younger brother Byulrim.
Past events flashed through my mind.
Oppa, later, when we get rich, we eat chicken for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and dinner… … What do you eat for dinner? Wanna eat a hamburger?
If you eat chicken in the morning, you become a pig.
If you eat chicken for breakfast, is it pig?
Then it’s a pig.
Then I dream of being a pig.
The sun, lying on a large bed in an empty room, smirked at me for no reason.
yes it was
“I forgot.”
The reason why the sun could be the best.
That’s it.
Bringing in a younger brother is too grandiose.
okay.
to try to be human.
I pretended to live happily ever after.
The sun was desperately close, and even then it was almost there.
After escaping from the hardships of life, Taeyang became a master in one field in his own way.
My younger brother Byul-rim also chose a job as a streamer, settled down without any problems, made friends, and gained popularity.
“I was really almost there.”
it’s a shame.
Now, looking at Byulrim, who chooses a clean and handsome man and marries her, she laughs heartily,
beats her new groom, invites her into a game, harasses her,
feeds her, and says
, “I should have done more.”
The corners of his mouth, which had been soaring upward, suddenly drooped downward.
There were so many things I couldn’t do.
I couldn’t even buy a hamburger for chicken lunch in the morning, pizza for dinner.
It’s all because Byulrim wakes up late in the morning, but anyway.
I was going to feed him chicken until he screamed that he didn’t want to eat it.
I couldn’t even keep my promise to turn it into a pig.
I wanted to appear on Byeolrim’s broadcast someday and proudly say that I was an older brother, but I couldn’t do that either.
I wanted to say a word to him, but I couldn’t.
I decided to save money with Byeolrim and go on an overseas trip with Hyun-hye’s parents… … Didn’t do that either.
“There are too many things I couldn’t do.”
A self-inflicted word.
Suddenly, his voice was filled with water.
The sun rose from its seat.
Sniff.
The sound of snoring echoed through the empty room.
If either Byulrim or Hyeonhye had heard of it, they would have hit Taeyang on the back for being dirty.
“How can you implement something like this? It’s ridiculous. really.”
The sun wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.
It’s not the time to be like this.
There were so many things Taeyang couldn’t do and so many things he wanted to do.
And in order to do that, you had to save Byeolrim and clear Dantalian.
There is no time to rest.
Taeyang is already unhappy enough and deserves to be happier even for a minute.
So is Byeollim.
Their lives were too precious to be locked up here.
“Byeollim is confined in a capsule for several days. It will hurt your skin.”
It was right to escape as soon as possible, even for the sake of Byulrim’s prosperous love business.
After Taeyang wiped his eyes with the back of his hand once again, he adjusted the interface and turned on the broadcast.
***
Andre, the head scout of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Corps, and Aggressive Platinum, the raid leader, looked at Rossi.
Andre asked with a hint of annoyance.
“Doherty and Azur reported it together with the other kids, so you’re going to make an additional report?”
“That’s right. Captain… … .”
“Captain Silver is busy. I’m busy preparing for the top-level expedition. Oh, that story has nothing to do with you yet. Instead, we will see and hear, no complaints?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Rossi replied with his characteristic expressionless face.
Platinum, who was sitting next to Andre, was staring at the wooden ceiling, as if he had no interest in Rossi’s words.
“okay. Report.”
Andre waved his hand roughly, and Rossi reported according to the form.
“Roshi, leader of Group C of the 16th to 18th floors of the Steel Wolf Mercenary Corps. 1 out of 6 people survived. I will skip the 16th floor report. On the 17th floor stage, everyone in Group C was alive when entering the 17th floor of Dragonic Lab, and Taeyang Yoon and a total of 9 people in Group C were on the stage… … .”
Rossi clearly explained what had happened on the 17th floor.
As a new weapon test, he participated in the performance test of the Chimera-Mecca Dragon PX-4889.
and strength testing sessions.
Andre, who was listening to the explanation, twisted his lips.
“Did Taeyang Yoon save our kids at the strength test session?”
“Precisely, it saved me and Malik. The rest were already dead.”
“What was the difficulty level?”
“I don’t have the confidence to clear it even if I go back in without any preparation.”
“I don’t know at all. Is Yoon Taeyang so ridiculously great, or are you guys incompetent?”
Rossi did not answer Andre’s death.
It was because he knew that Andre was annoyed at simply failing to recruit Taeyang.
In the first place, Rossi was also one of the players Andre headhunted.
Rossi continued to explain.
The horsepower measurement session and the killing of Yongin Researcher.
And even the front paws of the giant dragon that appeared during the combat power measurement session.
Now, Andre couldn’t hold on to his first casual attitude.
“There were no omens?”
“yes. I compared the age of the dragon you mentioned in the training, and it seemed to be older than the scale pattern of the old dragon class demon dragon you showed me as an example.”
“Nonsense. The scales prepared as educational materials must have been collected on the 50th floor? The front claws of the dragon that only appeared on the 17th floor are stronger than those of the demon dragon on the 50th floor?”
“Maybe I’m wrong or the age measurement method is wrong.”
And when the story of the fourth and last question came out, he jumped up from his seat.
Platinum, who was sitting next to him and was sleeping soundly, looked at Andre in surprise.
“4 doors appeared?”
“yes. Balak openly provoked Yun Taeyang. And when the stage was cleared, a legend grade card reward was presented. Yoon Taeyang took on the challenge. If he had returned alive, he would have gotten a Legend rank card as a reward.”
At those words, Andrew touched his forehead.
“Daedalus. Call Daedalus. right now!”
Rossi asked.
“Am I going?”
“Do you have anything more to say?”
“Player Yoon Taeyang is a spec that cannot be matched, at least on the same floor. His skills are also great, but his stats based on the number of achievements are overwhelmingly different from other players.”
“so?”
“I hope the head scout will convince the captain. Hostile against Yoon Taeyang on stage is literally suicidal.”
“… … Platinum, can you bring Daedalus? It will be in the workshop dedicated to the Clan House.”
“Um, I got it.”
Andre, who sent out the platinum, looked at Rossi.
Rossi’s words made some sense.
Cain of Agrippa in the mercenary leader, the long gate of the silver astronomical gate.
In addition to that, players who boasted overwhelming results like Yuri Maximoff reigned on the stage as beings that players of the same level could not match.
Just as money begets money, achievements also call for achievements.
If you get a lot of achievements and increase your stats, it becomes easier to get more achievements.
‘However, it usually only appears after the 30th floor.’
Agrippa’s Cain, who is regarded as the greatest talent of the current generation, also became untouchable on stage in the late 20th floor.
No matter how unprecedented it is, it’s an S+ grade.
How many achievements did you get so that this kind of story is already coming out?
In addition, he obtained a legend grade card that is no different from ‘power’.
Andre said in a low voice.
“I’ll talk to the captain first. If your report is accurate, the captain will change the route too. It’s because the level of check has to be right.”
“yes. I hope you will. Being hostile to Yoon Taeyang… … Again, it is literally suicidal.”
With Rossi’s words, the two players entered the room.
Aggressive Platinum and Daedalus.
Daedalus had soot on his nose as if he had just touched the machine.
“What are you doing?”
The calm voice of an old man.
Andre knew how thick the anger lay beneath this voice.
The sadness of losing a blood relative is an emotion that is easy to relate to.
Andre ordered in a firm voice.
“The operation to kill Taeyang Yoon in the next stage of Daedalus is abandoned.”
“Head Scout?”
“Yoon Taeyang got a Legend grade card. It’s a skill of the same level as ‘Authority’. Do you know what ‘authority’ is?”
Mind’s Eye in the Sky Cain’s Temple Minerva’s Light of Destruction.
Daedalus protested.
“This is also allowed by the clan leader..”
“If you want to do it, leave the clan and do it on your own. I can’t tolerate consuming other clan members because of you alone. I’ll tell the captain again. Then try to convince me.”
Daedalus’ face contorted.
A request from a clan member and a proposal from an official.
It was clear which opinion would be given more weight.
***
House of the Sun as usual.
Hyun-hye picked up the phone.
-… … Post by Azur Murph. did you see
“Okay.”
The caller is honored.
In Dantalian, he was Hyun-hye’s former colleague who works under the name of Bana.
– Then you must have seen that too? What happened to Dantalian and the Demon Lord?
“I saw it. That’s new bullshit.”
-haha. My kids say it’s credible when they see it.
“What is authenticity? Nothing has been scientifically proven.”
Glory laughed lightly at Hyun-hye’s cold evaluation.
-Then, did you see that Azur Murph’s post made headlines in Game World journalism yesterday?
“… … I saw you.”
Game World journalism.
It is a news site that deals with articles related to the game industry.
There is a popular belief that even a single piece of game-related information is sent out first in game world journalism.
Credibility too.
Game World Journalism was a news site with the same level of public confidence as the UK’s BBC Germany’s Kicker and Bild, in terms of soccer.
In other words, it could be said that they were a group with the strongest public confidence in stories related to games.
Azur Murph’s post sounded like nothing more than a plausible thing when it remained a personal post for Azur Murph, but the moment Game World journalism headlines hit, the story changed.
It has become a really ‘plausible’ story.
– Reporters will run like crazy. Prepare a plausible answer for Mr. Yoon Taeyang. There will be another uproar.
“That is what has always been. You can just ignore it. you know? Even if I told you not to do that, would Taeyang do it?”
Hyeon-hye’s voice cracked as she answered.
After hesitating for a moment, Glory asked.
– Did you see it?
“… … I saw you.”
[Virtual reality capsule. There was a marginal uptime.]
It was the headline of today’s game world journalism.
