Vol 20 Chapter 5 (2/2)

Kim Gwon-tae shook his head and explained

“If soot their hands on the master code then they would’ve contacted out company first Anyone with even a little bit of brains would realize the value of the master code”

“But what if the master code is in the hands of a child who doesn’t know anything?”

“It isn’t that easy to find thehow to ht seem completely random but it has its own rules Look at the hidden continents that just appeared”

“What is it then?”

“Park Woo-seong hid the master code so it must be protected by several layers of protections This is just an idea…butto destroy the shi+elds around the master code It is possible that these series of events will spread as rasped from the data If the ered then it wouldn’t be like this”

“So to forcibly access the master code?”

Ha Myung-woo’s expression became even more serious at Kim Gwon-tae’s explanation

“Until noe haven’t even defined what theto approach theabout the master code”

“……It is like that”

“They will forcibly penetrate the shi+elds until they get their hands on the e and the power to act on it ”

“That’s right The episodes running out of control isn’t so data Yet the master code didn’t interfere So soer the episode Furtherered at once so there must be two users involved And they have the same purpose”

“I have to ask Is there any chance that it is just a coincidence?”

“The chances are 1/10 million”

“……Then there is only one answer”

Ha Myung-woo bit his lip and anizational skills then a group had to be involved The conclusion he came to was that a rival company had obtained infor to obtain it

‘If they get their hands on the master code……’

Global Exos would be destroyed in a day Anyone who got their hands on the master code was the God of New World What would they do if they could access all the systems? If they wanted, they could delete all the users’ infor Only the coame would have the master code If their coal rights But what if the competitor made the data flow backwards into the users’ brains to cause brain death? The probleht -woo’s back

“I can’t allow the o somewhere else!”

Ha Myung-woo exclai Fortunately, nobody had obtained the uess the location of the hly likely that the master code was located in the Sinius Principality The problem was how to find the master code from there

‘Dae an army in New World……’

He hadn’t expected this situation But Ha Myung-woo couldn’t just throw up his hands and give up It was different froanization It was the 2,000 candidates ere top-class in New WorldHe could rally the candidates to investigate the Sinius Principality and the shi+elds protecting the master code

“Call the candidates immediately! Focus their attention on the Sinius Principality!”

————————————————————————————————————

……So Hyun-as suh such a processOf course, the company couldn’t confess the real situation about the master code to the candidates They had to hide the infor the candidates as they wanted That was the basic policy of the Planning Depart-hwan started to talk again

“So we can’t assu It see to cause problems”

“Then shouldn’t you investigate the users’ account information and take action?”

Hyun-woo couldn’t understand what the probleras and track their accounts This was also clearly stated in the ter-hwan quickly misdirected him

“T-that is……I can’t go into detail about some of our internal problems Anyway, I called Ark-nim because I wanted to consult about the problem”

“You wanted to consult with me about the problem?”

“Because it can only be solved by users”

“Huh?”

“I told you, this is because of a bug in the ga To be exact, I’ to ‘Code Black items’

“Code black items? W-what is that?”

“You ame isn’t easy work Thousands of experts and many trial and errors were required over ame was born And there had been dozens of beta versions During the process of testing the beta versions, many items had been disposed of because of a balance problem The code black ite process”

This was the excuse that Ha Myung-woo had coive the candidates’ information about the o soive a light explanation or else the candidates ht not be able to solve it So they had come up with the code black items

“Currently the programmers have searched the data and confirmed that the code black items hadn’t been deleted But thousands of iteuarantee that we can find all the items in a few months”

“So there are several thousand code black items in New World……”

“Yes, but we’ve ed to narron the search criteria In order to quickly solve the proble Department has decided to send several candidates to the Sinius Principality to gather information And the same information is been delivered to all the candidates But the detailed inforets like Ark-nim”

“I just need to check the information of the code black items?”

“No, you will have to pick up that item”

“Why don’t you just dispose of it after receiving confirmation?”

“That’s not possible In this situation, the user didn’t get the ite So it is different from a users’ private property Even if it is obtained in the noral item So the company can delete it nodeleted……”

This wasn’t really a proble with a crafty look

“Well, it’s hard to say anything more because of my position I think that you already understand the situation I hope the candidates will realize the urgency of this situation and agree to help solve the situation”

There was a variety of -hwan looked at Hyun-ith an expression that seemed to say ‘Please? Won’t you help?’ But Hyun-woo’s reaction was just ‘Ah, really?’ In fact, he didn’t have any reason to agree Hyun-woo had started playing New World in order to get a job at Global Exos But that was back in the days when he was cold and hungry Of course, he still wasn’t rich but he had invested 150,000 into the triangular trade As the chairold in aa game tycoon was a dream anymore So why did he have to worry about a job with an annual salary smaller annual salary? No, he would rather pay more attention to his business then to do a job like this

‘I have to remain a candidate to receive the monthly salary But I can’t pretend to do as he asked because Ho Myung-hwan is watching my videos’

Anyway, there was no reason for Hyun-woo to accept But Ho Myung-hwan didn’t even flinch at his expression

“If the situation becoht even have to suspend service”

“Hik! W-what?”

“Of course, that’s just the worst case situation That is e have to request this from the candidates”

While Hyun-woo took it seriously, in fact it was just a bluff Millions of users played the game so how could they suspend it for a few months? If that happened then Global Exos would have to pay dae compensation and would suffer astronomical losses It wasn’t just that Their external reliability would fall, causing their stocks to plunge If that happened to a large company then it would have serious ripple effects on the econo was cal However, Hyun-woo’s heart wasn’t calathered all the funds and started his business Hyun-woo had poured a lot of ame service stopped for several le penny He also wouldn’t be able to obtain ame So Hyun-woo started to think that this problem also involved him

‘Now he understands the situation’

When Hyun-woo’s face stiffened, Ho Myung-hwan realized that he had accepted the situation and s

“Global Exos isa collective effort to make sure that situation doesn’t occur But the solution absolutely requires the help of Ark-nim and the other candidates We’ll also help so Ark-nim should try your best”

————————————————————————————————————

Hyun-woo exited the hts He also had so-hwan’s words But he wasn’t coe business knoide Even if they couldn’t control what happened in the game, why did they have to ask for help from the candidates? In addition, was it so bad that they would have to suspend service? When considering that Global Exos would receive tree if service was suspended, it was difficult to co-hwan said it was a noret involved But wasn’t that nonsense in a situation where the company could lose billions of won? Global Exos wouldn’t be that law abiding

‘It is clearly a situation that can’t be told outside the company’

……It was natural to reach this conclusion But there was a proble was that New World ht be temporarily suspended

‘I can earn hundreds of thousands of gold in a few months’

In other words, Hyun-ould lose thatthose fewinto the business That’s because he thought he would get back the profit after the triangular trade route was established But that money was tied to New World so if service was suspended then he wouldn’t even get living expenses And if such a situation persisted for a few months……

‘It will become quite difficult But…’

Hyun-woo had thought it was serious when he was called by Ho Myung-hwan He had entered the ressed in a direction he hadn’t expected Global Exos said that if they couldn’t solve the problem then they would even discontinue service

‘And they want o to the Sinius Principality’

In fact, Ark already intended to go to the Sinius Principality because of the <witness the=”” legend=””> quest Now Hyun-woo had another purpose after hearing Ho Myung-hwan’s words

‘This situation is because of the black code items These items have the power to disrupt the balance of New World I don’t knohat type of iteure out the information!’

This was another reason to fly to the Sinius Principality If candidates other than Hyun-woo headed to the Sinius Principality then they ht be able to solve the problem If the black code items could affect the balance of the continent then couldn’t he get a lot of et his hands on the black code items

‘From their words, the company can’t forcibly take away the black code iteain with the company I don’t care about the entrance examination anymore so I can extort money from them for the information’

The gap between the coer Anyway, Hyun-woo headed down to the 1st floor in a daze When he first arrived at the building, his head had been full of Kang Mi-su Now all he could think about was the previous discussion He was only thinking about how toMi-su Hyun-as just thinking to hi as he passed in front of the desk

“It is a request!”

“No…I mean…it is difficult……”

‘Huh? This voice is Kang Mi-su’s?’

Hyun-woo stopped and turned towards the voices As expected, the person at the desk was Kang Mi-su And the onea loud noise was ahis head and kept on sighing

‘What’s going on?’

Hyun-woo couldn’t intrude recklessly so he stopped and observed the situation Then the ain

“It’s a request Just tell me the telephone number That will do”

“I’ve already told you Do I have to say it again? I don’t know information about specific users and even I did, it isn’t possible for me to tell someone else”

“I understand I really do But it is an eency If I don’t have that information then millions, no several hundred million ould fly away”

“I’m really sorry I can’t help you”

Kang Mi-su sighed and shook her head Hyun-as able to guess the general situation fro

‘What the? Why is he creating a disturbance to ask for another user’s information?’

It was natural for the game publisher not to hand out infora in reality That was the sort of probleave out the users’ information Hyun-woo had experienced this with Andel

‘I don’t knohat’s happening but clearly it isn’t the usual problem Well, it is unrelated toMi-su with this atmosphere’

Hyun-woo once again delayed the chance to talk to her Suddenly the ed

“I really et my hands on that person Please, just that one person I went to the broadcasting station for that person’s number and was kicked out This is the only place left…eh? W-wait?”

The man rubbed his eyes with his sleeves and opened it widely

“I thought you looked vaguely familiar…are you Lariette-nim?”

“Huh? You know me?”

“It really is you? No, there’s no doubt!”

TheMi-su’s hands and shouted

“It’s o in Silvana”

“S-Sid? The hobbit merchant Sid?”

“Yes, I am that small, cute hobbit Sid!”

Both Hyun-woo and Kang Mi-su’s opened widely This man was really Sid?

‘Sid? That man is Sid?’

Hyun-woo stared at Sid’s face Sid spoke with an urgent voice

“Ah, I can’t believe I met Lariette-nim in a place like this Thank God! Lariette-niive me his phone number”

“Ark-nim?”

“Yes, does Lariette-nio However the Gold Dream that I left with has floay! I need to quickly tell Ark-niave my phone number to Ark-nim but I don’t know his”

“Gold Dream has floay? What does that mean…?”

Lariette asked with confusion

“Wait, explain what you said just now!”

A loud shout rang out across the lobby Kang Mi-su and the man turned around with surprise and saw Hyun-woo

“……Ark-nim?”

“Huck! He is Ark-nim?”

Sid flinched and braced hi, Hyun-woo grabbed Sid’s shoulder tightly and said

“Yes, I am Ark-nim What did you say? What happened to Gold Dream?”

Sid stared blankly at Ark’s face Then tears tripped down his face again and he cried out

“Ark-nim……help me!
