World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 83 Sand of Forge (6)

Alice, the flawless artificial intelligence that oversees everything in Arcadia.

It was not disclosed to the public, but it actually managed users' data, observed and analyzed all the games they played in Arcadia, and actively dealt with each individual.

[Player Information No. 23414 Satisfies the quest creation condition. Quest granted.]

[The number of monsters in Wilhem's manor has drastically decreased. Measures to increase the number of monsters by adding their habitats.]

[Detection of anomalies in the volume of goods transported in Maroon Kingdom. Accurate analysis system in operation.]

Numerous adventures of millions of users across the continent and the events and stories that occur within them. Silently watching them all, granting quests and rewards in real time, supporting everything to keep Arcadia running smoothly.

[I don't understand how on earth a system like Arcadia is possible. Even though they intentionally say and do strange things while playing, the NPCs speak natural lines rather than pre-constructed, artificial lines. In addition, appropriate quests are given.]

Proactiveness at a level that would astonish even game critics and experts such as pro gamers. Unlike games that have to move from existing pre-programmed choices, the system that creates a story that fits it in any possibility had no choice but to raise their hands.

[I can only say that the developers of Arcadia are amazing for anticipating any possibility and preparing everything accordingly. As a game reviewer, I applaud you. It is a perfect world that is not ashamed of the name virtual reality and is really close to reality.]

To the public who did not know about Alice's existence, they attributed all of this to the development team, but the development team couldn't help but laugh at that statement.

“Did we ever prepare those things?”

“....I don't know. Let’s see how the head office updated it again.”

Urgent updates happening at the head office every time. Since dozens and hundreds of update items were pouring out every day, the developers belonging to the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. had no choice but to keep their mouths shut while listening to people praising God Game God Game.

Artificial intelligence with high-level algorithms far beyond human capabilities. The added value of Alice's system, which already has calculation functions outside the scope of human beings and the resulting active judgment, was enormous. To the extent that if her existence were exposed to the world, there would be countries willing to go to war to take her away.

That's why she took up residence in the Hive, a secret lab in Silicoff hidden deep beneath the desert deserts of the Americas. Inside the defense system built on a massive scale that would be enough even if dozens of nuclear weapons were dropped.

Whoops.

Alice normally uses about 50% of her computational resources. Suddenly, however, her computational power began to soar to its maximum in an instant.

[warning. Act. 9 Activate element of ‘Age of Forgotten Myths'.]

[Subject Vulcanus. Satisfying the minimum requirements required to exercise authority.]

[Granting a divine instrument for the use of authority.]

[Target subject to second-class surveillance of grantee.]

[Act. 3 Scenario conflict with ‘tribal war'.]

[Warning. Massive inconsistencies in quests and scenarios occur.]

Vulcanus, a forgotten mythical being with the reputation of ‘the oldest fire'.

Everything began to change the moment he handed over his divine weapon and symbol, the hammer, to Joong-shik, whom he had been watching for a long time, directly intervening in Arcadia with Jae-young's probability as collateral.

[Act. 3 4 5 6 7 8 Contamination occurs in all scenarios.]

[Warning. Pollution degree 89%. Highest risk.]

[Activate emergency measures. A-class emergency status issued.]

As the hammer, which can be said to be the symbol of the mythical item Vulcanus, fell into the hands of Jung-sik, all the scenarios and quests planned by the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were corrupted and twisted. From a macro perspective, all the stories prepared as long-term projects for the next 10 years have been mixed and twisted. So, Alice made a decision.

[Integration of all scenarios and complete readjustment required.]

[Deprivation of the authority of the main scenario by managers.]

From now on, he himself will be in charge of the huge narrative of the main scenario, which was left to clumsy humans.

[Mythical feat! A mythical item has been acquired.]

[‘The oldest fire' has designated the player as an apostle candidate.] [

The quest ‘Traces of the Erased God' has been created.]

[The item ‘Hammer of Vulcan' has been obtained.]

[ You have acquired the title ‘Soul of a Blazing Artisan'.]

Messages flashing in front of lunch. Jung-shik was standing with his mouth wide open with a confused expression as if he had no idea what the situation was, and was staring blankly at the empty space.

“What is this...?”

A rough-looking hammer held in one's hand. Although it looked a bit old on the outside, it was an ugly blacksmith's hammer with a lot of stains on it, but the content displayed in the status window, which showed the item's detailed stats, was on a different level.

[Vulcan's Hammer - Myth]

Vulcan's hammer with fire, iron, and the power of a blacksmith. It has lost most of its power, and only a small part of its divinity remains.

-Equipment restrictions: Those recognized by Vulcan

-Attack power: 10~15

-Durability: Infinite

-Required when using equipment crafting skill

-Completely immune to fire properties

-HP consumption rate -99% when crafting equipment

-Effort and devotion to production This is fully covered.

- Skill level required doubled

- Trade, exchange, and cancellation impossible

The name of an item that glows in brilliant red. It was definitely stuck there.

It is the highest item grade called ‘myth'.

“Tongue brother! How the hell did this happen?”

At the ridiculous item change, Jungshik's eyes grew bigger. He urgently looked at Jaeyoung and asked, but Jaeyoung was muttering as if he was surprised by the unexpected change.

“what....? It's not the only item, it's a mythical item...?”

Given the probability of using it a few times as an experiment. All of Angelina's items and the steel sword that Jaeyoung used often in the past have been transformed into unique items. However, in the case of lunch, it has transformed into a mythical item of the highest grade. It was a situation he had never experienced before, so Jaeyoung didn't know why, but Tan and L were having a strange conversation.

“what? How is it possible to grant divine powers? Wasn’t it a shell deity that lost all its power?”

“Are you stupid? Vulcanus is still remembered and revered by Dwarves and some other races. They are actually in a better situation than those whose names have been erased and degenerated into hypocrisy.”

“But you still have enough power to intervene directly like this?”

“No way. If it's Vulcan's level, it's probably too much for him just to maintain his divinity, but the reason this was possible now is of course...”

Tan and L stare blankly at Jaeyoung while talking among themselves. Looking at the eyes of the two, Jaeyoung instantly felt like he was being questioned.

‘Does the probability remain that way? If you have anything to use for something like this, give it to me.'

Jae-young, who poured an enormous amount of probability of 350,000. The probability that Tan and L had taken so far was lightly surpassed. That's why the two of them licked their lips as if it was a waste of time, and they looked at Jaeyoung with strange eyes and whispered something to each other.

“brother? brother? Are you listening to me?”

Hearing Jung-shik's voice calling him, Jae-young turned his gaze away from Tan and L and looked at Jung-shik. Joong-shik is looking at Jae-young with a complex and subtle expression on his face. Then he asked Jaeyoung.

“This item. I think it has something to do with the title ‘Oldest Fire' I got in the mines before. There's even a quest related to it!”

[Quest Traces of an Erased God]

A quest given to Jungshik. As Tan and El talked about, the myth of Vulcanus was completely destroyed by the Saint Empire and the record of its existence was completely lost.

It was a huge and massive quest to gather the records of his existence and spread his myths and beliefs to the continent of Arcadia again, and Jae-young did not hesitate to give advice to Jung-sik regarding the quest.

“First of all, don't try to break that quest right now. Maybe the fanatics will go crazy again. Recently, I've been having seizures like a witch hunt, but I don't know what kind of trouble will happen if I stimulate it for nothing, so I'm leaving it alone for now and improving your skills.”

Not Vulcanus, but an ancient god who existed for dozens of others besides him. The task of collecting the remnants of those scattered all over the continent of Arcadia was impossible for a single user to do, so Jaeyoung decided not to overdo it. It is only a matter of timing that the hidden elements are revealed to the world, but anyway, as time goes by, it will be revealed little by little and will happen someday.

“Then... is this really an item I can have...?”

Lunch is always asked with surprised eyes. It is a mythical item that has never been revealed yet. Of course, another mythical item called the mask of the deceiver was in Jaeyoung's hands, but to Jung-shik, who did not know about it, this hammer he was holding was literally Arcadia's first mythical item.

If it appears on the auction house as a trade item, it is sure to be traded at an astronomical price that will never happen again. In particular, since it was an exclusive item for blacksmiths, which are popular among production-related jobs, it was clear that its value would increase even more. That's why Jung-sik couldn't help but be moved by seeing Dex handing over such a valuable item without blinking an eye.

“So be good to me in the future. It's an item that can't be traded and can't be exchanged anyway, so don't even think about selling it and running away. Focus on growth as much as possible. I plan to pay for it as much as possible after you succeed.”

“Hyung...”

Joong-sik made an expression as if he was going to cry at Jae-young's words with a playful smile.

Jae-young, who rescued herself from being a slave in the mines and brought her to the hidden city of the dwarves as an apprentice at the workshop run by the best artisan. I thought I had received so much help that I couldn't deserve it, but he gave me a mythical item and a quest.

From the standpoint of Jung-shik, Jae-young was truly the tree of giving generously.

“all right. I will try to be the best craftsman no matter what happens here. And if one day the day comes when I can repay you...”

Joong-sik promised.

Jae-young, who was playing the worst in Arcadia, completely changed his life in the game and paved the way for a splendid flower path, he said he would make Jae-young his lifelong benefactor.

“I will do everything in my power to help.”

With those words, several messages appeared in front of Jaeyoung's eyes.

[The trust of the target has been obtained.]

[Player Nanyatongson is registered as a helper.]

[Mission cleared.]

[The helper system is opened as a reward.]

[You can acquire the probabilities created by the helpers.]

And so Jaeyoung got three helpers.

Battle Mage Angelina.

All Weapon Master Casillas.

And Vulcan's disciple and blacksmith master Nayatongson.

An evil player who does all kinds of shit in Arcadia and gives the management team chronic headaches. The three musketeers that will increase its notoriety by making the word balance dungmangem pop out of all users.
