Solo Eating to Overpowered Chapter 174

Episode 174

‘I never thought you would come out so bluntly.’

The reason Seong Minji stopped was simple.

Even if it is said to be ugly, Carla is not only the CEO of Meiji, but also has a connection with Chairman Schubert, the creator of Fate.

Acknowledging Fate’s instability would be detrimental to oneself.

Of course, from Seong Min-ji’s perspective, it was a welcome welcome. She shook her head slightly.

“no.”

“Hehe, that’s what you thought, so you came to see me. “Can I hear why?”

“There are so many reasons, where should I start?”

Seong Min-ji smiled brightly and looked at Carla’s eyes. The intention was to get a reaction, but the effort was indeed formidable.

Carla nodded leisurely. Sung Minji cleared his throat.

“It is not revealed thanks to its explosive popularity, but it is difficult to say that Fate is a normal game. There are too many factors that depend on luck rather than effort. “I think the director is well aware of the fact that the majority of mage rankers are hidden class holders.”

“for example?”

“As I said, there must be a lot of mana.”

X!

Among Fate game masters, X was an object of study and an entity of love and hate. Because it showed a side of Fate that they didn’t even know about and at the same time made them suffer from a barrage of complaints.

Seong Min-ji was no different.

Carla was quick-witted.

“Then Minji. So the GMs think Player X is involved in the hidden main story?”

“you’re right.”

“Do you think that X might have connections to the Chairman or me?”

“That…”

It wasn’t just a stone that rolled in.

Carla is not normal.

Carla was clearly looking into Seong Minji’s inner thoughts. In fact, from the beginning,

“yes. To be honest, I have been suspicious ever since the Chairman used his special powers to select X as a Mage Streamer.”

At Seong Min-ji’s stern answer, Carla was silent for a moment and then let out a small laugh.

“Then it looks like you made a mistake this time. Like the GMs, I have no authority to interfere with Fate. I don’t even know where or who X lives. And the Chairman…”

She bit her chapped lip.

“He is someone who never trusts humans, no matter who they are.”

Seong Min-ji was able to understand right away.

“I agree with that.”

Wasn’t Schubert not trusting even those who had worked with him for nearly 10 years?

This is the fate he risked his life to develop. Considering his personality, it seemed unlikely that he would have given the power to control Fate to just one person.

“Even if we assume that things like X and Rankers are purely luck or Fate’s unique settings, there is a systemic problem. “Fate is clearly encouraging overindulgence.”

In order to be called a virtual reality game, there must be something different from reality.

It’s good to be realistic, but it becomes a problem if it’s so realistic that it creates an illusion of reality.

‘Fate is when NPCs who are no different from humans start dying.’

In that sense, Fate, commonly called a second life, went too far. To the extent of causing social problems big and small.

For Seong Min-ji, who has developed various games, Fate could not be called a normal game.

“During the development phase, we thought we had perfectly addressed this gap through simulation. But when I actually opened the lid, voila. The result was completely different from what I expected. “I don’t know if it was our mistake or the president’s intention.”

Carla answered honestly.

“Of course, it is the Chairman’s will. “I’m sure you’ve had a hard time.”

Seong Min-ji shook his head.

“no. It’s up to the director to do the hard work from now on. I don’t tend to easily miss an opportunity. “Shall we move on to the next problem?”

Full of rebellious temperament!

Minji Seong pointed out the problems that Fate had one by one. There were many elements, but there was one core. Fate isn’t perfect, let alone calling it a game.

Carla defined it in one word.

“It’s literally not an ordinary game, it’s a second life.”

“That’s why I think Fate has a dangerous side. “I think the director, who is an expert, would know better than me.”

“Minji is concerned about the capsule interfering with brain waves.”

Seong Minji nodded.

As the NPCs they interacted with died and disappeared during the siege, users complained of extreme depression one after another.

Even if it wasn’t immediately serious, it was natural that there were various concerns about Fate, which encourages over-immersion.

“In addition, research results have recently been reported showing that actions in Fate and actions in real life influence each other. Well, there are more positive responses about this one.”

“As you said, this is my specialty.”

Carla, who smiled brightly, set a limit.

“To put it simply, it can be seen as an extension of image training. More effective image training. “Right now, virtual reality is being used usefully in rehabilitation treatment as well.”

“Does that mean we don’t have to worry about the capsule interfering with the brain more directly?”

“The human brain is much more complex than it appears. There is no way that the basic devices attached to the capsule could interfere with the brain. “You can encourage immersion through realistic settings, but it is impossible to make people immerse directly.”

Seong Min-ji let out a sigh of relief.

“I think that’s the most welcoming thing I’ve ever heard?”

Because I have affection for Fate, I have doubts and concerns. Seong Min-ji was relieved when the part she was most concerned about was resolved.

Then I felt empty.

‘For what purpose have we devoted ourselves to development every day?’

Seong Min-ji knew better than anyone that it was impossible, even though there were many things she wanted to fix right away through an emergency patch.

We held on to Carla, a high-quality human resource, for quite a long time.

“I’m sorry, it’s already been so long.”

Seong Min-ji came to his senses and stood up. Carla must have sensed her empty heart and opened her mouth quietly with a quite sad expression.

“Knowing it but not being able to do anything about it is like a really ironic ‘fate’ thing.”

“I crave sweets after working hard?”

Seong Min-ji inhaled sweet cake at a cafe. In front of her were two men with frowns on their faces.

Kim Seong-cheol covered his face with both hands and opened his mouth.

“What if the director doesn’t know anything?”

“So I told you not to have high expectations.”

“Are you saying it’s a secret you can’t even tell your woman?”

A conversation with Carla that yielded nothing more than expected. Of course, there were results.

This is because we received assurances about the safety of our most important users from Carla, the world’s best brain scientist. Kim Seong-cheol muttered in silence.

“In any case, we failed to create the perfect virtual reality game we were aiming for.”

Then I remembered the days when I was developing Fate. In the past, we followed Chairman Schubert and worked overtime every day with the goal of creating a perfect virtual reality game.

Myung-woo Myung-woo, who was shy, let out a bitter smile.

“What prompted you to change your mind?”

“I don’t know. “I won’t say hello to the chairman from now on.”

“How can we say hello if we’ve never met each other properly?”

Seong Min-ji, who was listening to the two’s lamentations, suddenly stopped muttering. As I thought about the past, I began to doubt even my original intentions that I had no doubt about until now.

She opened her mouth as she desperately searched through her memories.

“…From then until now, the Chairman has never once said that he would create a perfect virtual reality game. So, it’s not like something prompted me to change my mind.”

In an instant, goosebumps appeared all over my body.

Seong Minji’s lips trembled slightly.

“The Chairman was drawing a Fate World like this from the development stage.”

Spirit Forest!

X and Yongyong were receiving a grand celebration, surrounded by spirits.

Sharala.

The spirit’s playfulness is still overflowing! Thanks to this, I couldn’t see in front of me due to the flying pollen.

Heh heh, X spit out the pollen that was in his mouth.

“I can feel your emotions. Are you guys taking revenge now?”

“No way. “Are we infinitely pure spirits?”

“Be sure to come back alive. Gonna miss you.”

“But don’t come too quickly.”

The next destination is the Mountains of Giants!

It is a place adjacent to the Spirit Forest, and as the name suggests, it was a place where giants existed. They are giants, so in fact, there were giant-like people on the Arba continent.

‘It won’t go far, and Bjolaf alone is a giant.’

Three times the size of an ordinary person!

However, according to Denis, the giants of the disconnected continent start with ten times the basics.

Moreover, he said he was very proud of his body.

“They believe that the stones their ancestors threw became stars in the sky. “It’s not a fault that they are proud, but what’s really important is their warlike nature.”

Combat personality!

Listening to Launis’ story was even more shocking. Wouldn’t they invade the territory of the dragons, the strongest creatures even on the disconnected continent, and try to climb the world tree without fear?

‘Are these idiots with even more muscle than the Kurula warriors?’

What’s even more surprising is that he survived despite such a reckless act!

So there was no doubt about the strength of the giants. The corner of X’s mouth twitched.

‘There are creatures stronger than those giants in the mountains.’

The reason why those ignorant and warlike giants could not conquer the disconnected continent!

That was because the monsters that existed in the Giant’s Mountain Range were as strong as the giants.

Launis shook his head as if he was fed up.

“You’ll have to be prepared. Because there are constant earthquakes, big and small, in the Mountains of Giants. Especially on days when giants go out hunting, the vibrations can be felt all the way to the Spirit Forest.”

“All right. “You can’t let your guard down!”

“Heh, you don’t look nervous at all.”

As expected, X was starving. Because I couldn’t use my full power in the Spirit Forest because I didn’t want to. Finally, it was possible to hunt on a scale commensurate with the scale of the disconnected continent.

I will arrive at the Giant’s Mountain Range as soon as possible!

Even though it was near the Spirit Forest, it was a long way away.

To reach the Arba Continent, you have to run from Xernis to the Kingdom of Lujan.

Even with the weight loss method, I had to just run diligently for a few days.

“Then I’ll be back!”

Launis and Denise saw X off.

“There is already a man who wants to meet Mr. “He may be a bit blunt, but he’s sure to have something in common with Mr. X!”

“Is there someone who wants to meet me?”

Denise smiled and nodded. It looks like he was talking about himself with the guy called that guy. Anyway, networking always helps!

‘It would be nice if that guy was a giant.’

A barren and unfamiliar mountain range of giants!

If you know at least one giant, it will help you adapt and build intimacy. I wanted to ask who it was, but I wasn’t in the mood to answer.

Launis, who was listening, added.

“You can return to the Spirit Forest at any time. I have no intention of finding fault with you for moving leisurely. “Anyway, there is one thing I regret.”

Is this something you regret?

When Raunis said that, his gaze was directed at Yongyong, not at X.

Glitter. Launis, who was looking at Yongyong covered in pollen sprinkled by the spirits, nodded.

“Well, since I was born there, I guess it couldn’t be helped. I will ask them a favor. “From their perspective, Yongyong is probably an object of curiosity.”

“Them? Who are you asking for?”

Launis responded as if he was asking something obvious.

“Of course they’re ancient dragons, right?”

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
