World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 55 Jukchang Daejeon (3)

The 1st Jukchang Daejeon participated by more than 3 million people.

This large-scale event, held over 5 days, caused a great social controversy due to the fact that more than 5% of the population of Korea participated.

[hello. The social issue to be addressed today is the story of virtual reality. An event that recently started in Arcadia is becoming a big issue with controversy over violence. It's an event called Jukchang War. Let's hear what the panelists think about this.]

A panel of unknown professors and critics huddled together. Among them, one of the critics, who seemed strict, started talking first.

[Eh.... The name of the event was so unusual, so I looked it up. This is so absurd that I don't know what the developers were thinking. The event's slogan is.... You and I, too. Everyone says it's a fair shot.... To be honest, from the moderator's point of view, does this seem sane?] [Everyone

can become equal in one shot!]

[Rise up, people!]

[It's a revolution!]

You too room.

People shouting bamboo spears as slogans and exuding unknown anger and madness. They were dyed red, crying out for equality and revolution, as if this place were indeed South Korea.

I also have a room.

All of us in one room.

This slogan, which seemed to encourage bloodshed, was a stimulating phrase full of violence.

[Surprisingly, those people are ordinary citizens of Korea in reality. They are expressing things that are hard to imagine in the game.]

[Hahaha.... I was very taken aback when I saw that slogan, but surprisingly people's reactions so far haven't been bad..... I'll listen to your opinion.]

[I want to place more meaning on the message that game companies deliver to the public than on the violence of this event.]

[A message to the public? Uh.... Was there such a thing?]

[This event was attended by over 3 million people. First of all, many people had the will to participate voluntarily in this event, and we were able to discover many interesting aspects in the course of the event. Let's take a look at it.....]

And then the video that appears on the screen. It was the image of madmen running around in groups holding bamboo spears.

[Jukchang, Jukchang!]

[Um... that's right. That's a bit... very extreme.]

It was madness enough to make me wonder if there was a person like that in real life, quietly kidnapped by the NIS and eating seolleongtang in the basement of Namsan Mountain.

[Why are they like that? As a result of agonizing over the reason, I was able to conclude that it was the nature and sincerity that those people buried deep in their hearts.] [

Yes? What is that...]

The moderator tilted his head as if he couldn't understand what the panel said. However, he continued his explanation in a calm voice.

[As the host and everyone agrees, the world is not structurally equal. No matter how much we try to achieve equality as much as possible through various social institutions, it is practically impossible. And more or less each of us has stored in our hearts the frustration and anger of these systemic inequalities. I also had a lot of social dissatisfaction in my poor days in the past.]

Economic, physical and social inequality. The anger that arises because not everyone is handsome, smart, rich, and has omnipotent power. Social anger and resentment that all petit bourgeois inevitably have.

[I don't think this event is simply an eccentricity of a crazy developer. Rather, I think that virtual reality provided a window for these people to express and release their anger and resentment that had been hidden in their hearts. I acknowledge the current controversy of violence, but if I can bring comfort to people through this event, I think it has enough social value.]

bullshit worth playing. However, the moderator nodded with a strange expression.

[Hmm.... I've never thought of it that way, but if that's the case, it means that Arcadia Co., Ltd. put a lot of thought and planning into this event.] [

That's right.]

[Yes.... I see. Thank you for your kind comments. Next.....]

The event started with President Lee Mi-yeon's idea of just having fun. However, this event, which was thoroughly distorted and packaged by the public and various critics, was interpreted by everyone in a completely different meaning than intended and began to flow out of control.

* * *

“Keep it off!”

“This is a scam!”

“What's a scam? It's just a passive effect.”

[This target cannot be attacked.]

A basic ability possessed by the demon called the Ghost of Twilight.

Ignore physical attacks.

Unlike the enemy's bamboo spears, which simply pass through and are thrown into the air no matter how much they are stabbed, Jaeyoung's bamboo spears are deeply embedded in their bodies.

Poo-wook.

“Keep it off.... This kind of balance shit.....”

[A phenomenal achievement: The number of people defeated with a bamboo spear exceeded 1,000.]

[You directly implemented the meaning of equality of bamboo spears into the world.]

[Title You have obtained the Revolutionary of Equality.]

“Whew.... When will it end.....” Jae-Young,

starting with the Bamboo Spear Revolutionary Corps, is walking around and treating groups feeling mad with a bamboo spear in comfort. I looked up at the sky with a tired face.

[Number of survivors remaining: 2813 people]

“Haa.... Now we finally hit 3,000 units.....”

At first, the count decreased so quickly that hundreds of thousands of people were eliminated in an hour, but now that the small puppies have disappeared, the count is gradually increasing. The rate of decrease also became sluggish and fell into a state of stagnation.

“Ha.... The map is vast, so it's hard to catch each one of them...”

Jaeyoung murmurs in trouble. Behind him, Tan and El followed, patting each other.

“Hey, you fucking chicken, please, please don’t make a fuss.”

“It’s not a fault, it’s that you have no morals! Why do you reinforce a monster running around in the demon realm and then rip off the probability like that? That’s why all the bats are being criticized for being swindlers.”

“ah! Even the owner agreed! Why are you stepping out and fucking!”

“It’s my job as a guardian angel! The contractor looks like he got hit in the back by a fucking bat, and of course you have to tell him!”

“this....! OK! Let’s see where it ends today.”

Fire.

Hell's fire emanating from Tan's hand. However, El didn't blink an eye and spread a holy energy around him and smiled cynically.

“joy! Wouldn't that scare me?”

Whoops.

These two always collide river-to-river. Tan was the first to move in the brief confrontation.

“Roasted chicken wings for dinner, you damn chicken!”

pop! Quaang!

A clash between the archangel and the archangel, the size of the palm of your hand. Although the scale was small, Jaeyoung watched silently as the two bounced back and forth and fought fiercely.

“Hell Fire!”

“Where! Divine Judgment!”

“The blade of the abyss!”

“Absolute defense!”

These two fiercely clash while defending and launching profound and bloody skills just by listening to them. Of course, as if the size of the skills themselves had been partially adjusted, the scares of hell that were no more than a finger in size and the two that flew the sacred cross were cute enough to be cute.

“Kick.”

Jaeyoung's laughter leaked out without even realizing it.

Tan and L stopped fighting and glared at Jaeyoung at the same time.

“Why are you laughing!”

“Don’t laugh.”

“Oh sorry sorry. It looks like the two of them are fighting too seriously, but it's so small that I can't stop it...”

Jaeyoung waved his hand as if telling him to continue doing what he was doing, but Tan and L looked at each other hesitantly and turned around as if their excitement had already cooled.

“Don’t fight! It's a waste of my strength to fight a guy like that.”

“I also don’t want to deal with bats like you.”

The two of them turned around as if they were avoiding shit not because they were afraid of it, but because it was dirty.

While feeling the irony of seeing the two of them, who are polar opposites but sometimes seem to be the same, someone jumped out from the grass far away.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? Get out of the way!”

A female user who looks like a beginner. She was startled by Jaeyoung's sudden appearance and tried to stop screaming. However, her body, which accelerated too much to overcome the inertia, eventually began to fly toward Jae-young at a threatening speed.

She closed her eyes tightly as if preparing for a collision with Jaeyoung .

However, contrary to expectations, her body passed through Jaeyoung as if it did not exist, and she rolled several times on the ground and fell face down.

“What!”

Jae-Young, whose physical collision itself is completely ignored when the Ghost of Twilight is strong. However, there was no way to know Jaeyoung's condition, so the female user who rolled on the floor looked at Jaeyoung with confused eyes and looked around.

“What? Have we met again?”

When the female user who rolled on the floor is confused, another female user pops out from the grass. However, the user muttered that he was glad to see Jaeyoung.

“You...”

“When I said hello before, I had a hunch that there was something... But surviving so far would mean that it's special, right?”

Starlight Witch Stella.

Shining at the 2nd place in the overall ranking, she was smiling strangely at Jaeyoung as if she was interested with her sparkling eyes.

“Please help me too.”

“Hmm...?”

A mysterious female user who was looking at Stella and Jaeyoung alternately while lying on the floor. Stella put on a funny expression when she suddenly asked Jae-young for help. His eyes seemed to be waiting for his reaction.

Jaeyoung thought for a moment about her unexpected help call before answering.

“Why me?”

“yes....?”

“Looking at the situation, it looks like I was being chased by this person... I mean, why do I have to step in and help someone else's trouble?”

Common sense, the war is going on in full swing.

In this fight where everyone is enemies and there is no ally, there was nothing good about interfering in the pursuit of others. Especially if the opponent is the second-ranked wizard in the overall ranking.

‘Even if you don't die, the magic works, so it's quite annoying...'

Since he couldn't be stabbed with a bamboo spear anyway, there was absolutely no chance of being eliminated from this matchup, but Jaeyoung didn't want to scratch and scratch for nothing. Stella muttered with a deep smile, as if she had accepted his will well.

“As expected... it's more than I thought. That one... I like it.”

Stella responds to Jaeyoung's will with a smile. She gave a friendly look and muttered something, but Jaeyoung turned away as if he wasn't interested.

“Well... I'm leaving, so just do what you've been doing.”

Anyway, now I just have to spend time holding out until there are 1,000 people left. That's why I thought of moving to another place with the thought that I didn't want to interfere in other people's affairs. But at that moment.....

[New mission has been updated.]

A message pops out of nowhere.

tall.

Jaeyoung, who stopped at that moment and checked the newly updated mission with a puzzled expression, sighed deeply and murmured.

“Ha... fuck.”

Jae-young turns around with a frown as if he is really annoyed. The scene that caught his eyes was Stella trying to stab a mysterious female player on the floor with a bamboo spear.

widely.

“hmm....? What are you doing?”

Jaeyoung's bamboo spear blocked Stella's bamboo spear, which was sharply trying to pierce the enemy.

Jaeyoung said in a voice that seemed genuinely annoyed at Stella, who looked at Jaeyoung, who was acting contrary to what he said, with a curious look.

“Oh I don’t know. You have to protect him.”

It was Jae-young who realized today that this game is like X.
