World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 154 Past Glory (2)

Arcadia Co., Ltd., a virtual reality service company.

Of course, almost all of the work in the company was done for the smooth service and operation of the game Arcadia, but other than that, various projects were being carried out here and there in the department.

“How is the progress of the welfare project for the disabled using virtual reality?”

“First of all, we have succeeded in making it possible to feel the state in which all senses and motor functions have been restored in virtual reality, even if there is a sensory or neurological disorder such as visual, auditory, or physical defect.”

Virtual reality helps people who are visually impaired or hearing impaired... even those with severe disabilities such as general paralysis to move freely, see, hear, feel, regain all senses and motor abilities, and enjoy normal daily life with others even in virtual reality. there was.

“The satisfaction of those who tried it was very high and there were no physical side effects. In particular, in the case of a patient who became paralyzed due to an accident, I was greatly comforted by the fact that not only the person concerned but also their family members could freely talk and be together for a while.”

Maybe every day they live is a time of hellish pain. However, the possibility that there might be a way for them to live a normal life freely again excited all of them.

“However, in the case of these disabled people, they showed an excessive obsession with virtual reality rather than reality. It's not that I don't understand it, but it seems like a little more discussion is needed because it can be raised as a social issue.”

President Lee Mi-yeon, who was quietly listening to the work report. At that, she nodded her head as if she understood.

“is it so. Since we have confirmed that there are no major problems in the technical aspect, let's temporarily suspend the project at this point. Anyway, the current situation is not like the government is going to cooperate with our company.”

Korea's virtual reality industry has no legal basis at all. Therefore, even if they tried to do something, they were caught up in all sorts of legal disputes and were full of exhausting arguments, so many innovative possibilities sprouted here and there in virtual reality technology, but they were not growing properly.

“Um... boss, how about handing over the project to Japan?”

“Is it Japan?”

Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon cautiously lets go of his rhymes when he is told to suspend the project. In response to his question, President Lee Mi-yeon blinked and asked.

“yes. Isn't the Japanese government very active and favorable to fostering the virtual reality industry? In particular, I know that the Japanese branch is pursuing a similar project.”

“Um... I’m sure it is.”

Unlike the lukewarm and passive Korean government, the Japanese government is almost desperate to spread virtual reality technology throughout Japanese society as quickly as possible and take the lead in related industries. Therefore, various projects of Arcadia Co., Ltd. in Japan were being promoted rapidly.

“Anyway, in the case of a project with a strong public interest purpose, if a positive case emerges in another country, the government will give permission for the related project sooner or later. This is because many people with disabilities are suffering in our country as well.”

President Lee Mi-yeon looks like she is contemplating something at the reasonable persuasion of Executive Director Kwon Myung-han. She rolled the dice in her head for a while, then nodded her head as if she had made up her mind.

“Then do it. You don't have to stick to the same project as other branches. Communicate the relevant matters and make sure to hand them over as soon as possible.”

“All right.”

Managing Director Myung-Han Kwon passed on one of the tasks to the Japanese branch. A small smile was drawn on his face that no one would notice, and then it disappeared.

“Oh, and this time, I posted a proposal to promote another project.... The name of the project... is a past glory?”

President Lee Mi-yeon picks up one of the many file folders on the desk and reads it around, asking questions. In response to her question, the head of the design and development team, who was sitting on one side, opened his mouth nervously.

“yes! That's right.”

“The name is unusual... What project is this exactly? Could you please elaborate a bit?”

CEO Lee Mi-yeon shows a favorable response as if she is interested in something. In response to her attitude, the manager who planned the project talked enthusiastically with his face flushed.

“Um... So, to sum it up, let’s recreate popular PC games that went downhill with the advent of virtual reality as virtual reality games?”

“That's right! Currently, there is only one virtual reality game, Arcadia, in a genre called MMORPG. Of course, it is supported by many users because of its infinite expandability, but I think it is necessary to develop games of various genres by combining them with virtual reality technology.”

A monstrous company with hundreds of billions of dollars in monthly gaming fees and capsule sales alone. However, the deformed structure in which almost all of the company's profits are generated only from one game called Arcadia was undoubtedly an issue that needed to be improved.

“What do you think, Managing Director?”

CEO Lee Mi-yeon asks what executive director Myeong-han Kwon thinks. In response to her question, Kwon Myung-han nodded without thinking.

“I don't think that's a bad idea, sir. The game that has been negotiated is also the most popular ‘League of Legends'. Perhaps when this is released in virtual reality, it will also attract a lot of attention among gamers around the world.”

A project aimed at diversifying the business. Of course, even if it is not, he thought that it would be a good opportunity to create popularity among users who feel nostalgia for PC games in this way and to attract users who still stay in PC games to virtual reality.

“Um... everything is good. If you look at the plan here... It says that the goal is to showcase the work at the Game Festa held at the end of this year, but would it be possible to make it in that short time?”

The world's most grandiose festival for gamers.

Game Festa.

This ambitious plan to release the first virtual reality PC game there seemed absurd to President Lee Mi-yeon.

“Even if the basic balance or planning is already released, it can be ported as it is.... From the design side, it seems that everything has to be implemented from the ground up. Are you sure you can?”

Arcadia, where numerous narratives, stories, and characters are elaborately intertwined. However, unlike that, this project did not seem to have a lot of work from other departments because the existing data could be ported as it is. However, in the case of the design team without any basic base, the story was different.

“There are at least 100 characters that need to be implemented. In addition, trying to realistically implement all the battlegrounds and skills that each character has, while working together with Arcadia development seems impossible when I thought.”

The near-infinite power of implementation that can be realized through lucid dreaming. However, President Lee Mi-yeon was skeptical because the human energy to draw out the imagination was limited. However, the head of the design team hurriedly spoke to her concerns.

“Ah, I don’t think you need to worry about that part! So, we are trying to recruit one person in particular.”

“Are you talented?”

CEO Lee Mi-yeon tilted her head at those words. He spoke to her in a confident tone.

“yes! There is one monster that is more capable than all of our design teams put together.”

* * *

After the meeting ended like that.

The head of the design & development team sighed deeply, wiping sweat from his forehead.

“Haa.....”

The result was a success.

More than I thought, President Lee Mi-yeon liked his plan.

“Hmm... this is fine. Where did this talent come from? According to the report written here, the ability to use real lucid dreams is ridiculous, right?”

“That.... as a student I discovered in the exchange and cooperation promoted by Seomin University...”

“Oh, you were a college student? A student who hasn't even graduated from school yet is like this?”

President Lee Mi-yeon showed interest in Jae-kyun much more than he thought. She inquired about him for a long time, but soon smiled with satisfaction and officially approved the project being pushed by the design team.

“great. Make the best use of that student named Jae-Gyun to produce results. Let’s see that and then judge.”

result. and judgment.

Arcadia Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of super-giants that no country can touch, and is growing into a global giant. Since it was a newly established company and all the employees were talented people who were popular in various industries, the personnel evaluation and promotion system itself was radical enough to be different from those of existing companies.

“Please bring only reasonable results. If I had the skills, I could put even one employee in the vice president the very next day.”

A corporate culture in which two or three levels of promotion can be achieved within a day as long as performance is shown. That's why all executives and employees dipping their feet in Arcadia Co., Ltd. were competing with each other to the point of tears. In order not to lose hair and to become a high-ranking executive who receives an annual salary that is different from the amount recorded in the bank account.

“If only this project is done properly...”

It was a great opportunity to change the status of the design & development team, which had only been flying flies with mediocre performance until now. Of course, in order to do so, meeting the development date that President Lee Mi-yeon boasted was the most urgent problem.

“Boss! How did it go?”

The design team and development team gathered together with nervous faces as if they had been waiting for the meeting to end. Looking at them, their subordinates, he exclaimed with a proud face.

“it's okay! Project passed!”

“and! Really?”

“Oh yea!”

The staff cheered and were excited by the words. The manager looked at the employees like a father and smiled, but soon said with a serious face.

“Now, don’t like them that much already. It’s just the beginning, and if the project isn’t done well, you won’t even be able to make ends meet and your image may deteriorate.”

“Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy but since you recruited that monster, I don’t think it’ll be a big problem to meet the deadline?”

“ah. That friend’s company has arrived, manager.”

“uh? okay? Where are you?”

“I’m drinking tea with the chief designer in the meeting room right now. Oh, by the way, did you bring a friend with you?”

“what....?”

The general manager put on a puzzled expression when he said that he was accompanied by someone else. He entered the meeting room with a suspicious look on his face. Inside, a child of the same age as Jae-kyun is drinking tea while talking to the chief designer. When the manager saw the two, he held out his hand and greeted them as if he was happy.

“ha ha ha. I'm sorry about this. I had a meeting, so I couldn't greet you. are you jaehyun? I wish you well in the future. I've told your school too, so don't worry about attendance. You can go to work here in the future.”

“yes. I will try hard.”

Jae-gyun, with a slightly flushed face at those words, strengthens his will. The manager, who nodded at him, looked at the child sitting quietly next to him and asked.

“By the way, who is this friend...?”

At those words, Jaekyun looked at Jaeyoung, who had a sad face next to him, and said.

“Oh Jaeyoung? He’s a classmate from the same school as me, and I asked him to bring him.”

“ask....?”

At that, Jaekyun said with an innocent face.

“yes. Jaeyoung of the League of Legends, which we created, will inspect everything.”

“what....?”

At those words, the manager's face turned to bewilderment for the first time. A large-scale project that received official approval from President Lee Mi-yeon after a long period of preparation. He pondered for a long time what to say in this situation when a key manpower necessary to promote such a project arbitrarily invites a friend to participate in the project.
