I didn’t expect this
“I thought of it because I was talking about contractors, but can we increase the number and quality of contractors? 30% at the current level… … No, I think it would be much more comfortable if it increased by 20%.”
“That is impossible.”
An immediate answer without the slightest hesitation.
Yooseong, who knew that such an answer would come out, exaggeratedly shook his shoulders.
If it were possible to increase the number and quality of contractors, he would have done so long ago, even if he had not asked for it.
Ordinary people know that the number of contractors is increasing slowly but steadily or that there is a difference in power between the contractors.
‘The number and quality of contractors are always constant.’
arranger.
It is a job that arranges contracts between transcendent beings and humans to be reborn as capable people, but there were clear limits to it.
The mediator plays the role of a kind of antenna that relays between transcendental beings and humans.
And there is a limit to the amount of information an antenna can send and receive.
Blindly increasing the number of contractors reduces the overall quality of contractors, and conversely, increasing the quality reduces the number.
Yoosung also knew this, but he did not like the current situation where the dependence on users was too high, so he inadvertently asked a question.
“Whoa… … I didn’t want to become a user, and it’s not my fault that the world has become like this, so I don’t know why I have to go through all this trouble.”
Kang Chang-seok inadvertently swallowed dry saliva at Yoo-sung’s lamentation.
It was an irresponsible statement, but it was also a clear fact.
Among the users, there were some who were dissatisfied with why they had to fight to protect the world, and there were times when a fight broke out due to a difference of opinion.
Of course, if the world perishes, there is no way that a user will be fine, so he grumbled and eventually gave up his strength, but as it was a semi-forced choice, there were cases in which he helped to the extent of showing condescension.
‘No, it’s fortunate if it’s at the level of showing condescension. Life is one shot, if I had to run away like that bastard… … .’
Cold sweat ran down Kang Chang-seok’s forehead.
Kang Chang-seok, who wiped off his sweat as naturally as possible to avoid revealing his agitation, took out some papers from a drawer and handed them to Yoo-seong.
“What is this?”
“Systems to be introduced soon. We are thinking of various ways to reduce the burden on users, such as improving the level of contractors and fostering auxiliary power, so calm down a bit.”
“… … Activating the equipment market for contractors, establishing an academy, and introducing a contractor ranking system? Apart from the first two, what is the last one? He is him, so how do you rank the contractors?”
“The power is the same, but the equipment can differentiate them. I talked to Sophia, and she said that if you give up cost-effectiveness, you can make equipment with up to three times the performance of the equipment you are currently making. E-class if you just became a contractor, D-class if you left the academy, C-class if you wear gear with entry-level skills, B-class if you wear equipment with advanced skills, and equipment with advanced skills applied to special monster materials. Grade A when worn. Why do we want to share it like this?”
“Who is the user?”
“Users are, of course, S-class. I made your license in advance, so take it with you.”
Seeing Kang Chang-seok in a hurry, Yoo-seong smiled.
The intention was obvious, but the effort was imaginary, so I decided to let it go.
A certificate that glows in a soft platinum color.
Yooseong looked at his face, name, and license with the title “Shooting Star” written on it in fancy letters, put it in his arms and stood up.
“I’ll go and see.”
“I had a hard time waiting for 15 days. I’ll contact Musin separately later to discuss it, so I’m doing quests and resting.”
“You know how servile you look right now?”
“… … .”
The moment the meteor went out and the door closed, Kang Chang-seok’s expression twisted.
I didn’t curse because I was afraid I’d hear it.
‘Even if I didn’t see the real sprout, I just knew that… … .’
It is called the three weak and is classified as the weakest among users, but since he is a user himself, he has enough strength to not be ignored anywhere, and he has done everything he could not do while collecting money from all over the world.
If Yuseong had shown himself to be intoxicated with desire or neglecting to carry out quests like some users, he was confident that he would give true education by mobilizing everything, whether it be force, money, or power.
However, Yuseong always carried out quests and focused only on self-discipline, and achieved achievements worthy of being called a hero, growing at an incredible speed comparable to Samgang or perhaps even higher.
Personally, I don’t like it, but if you look at it objectively, there is no more competent colleague.
‘If I think about it more, I’m the only one who loses. Let’s do something.’
Kang Chang-seok shook off his thoughts about the meteor and reached for the pile of documents.
Kang Chang-seok, who was processing eight sheets of paperwork at the same time using the division thinking skill, stopped moving when he suddenly found a phrase that bothered him.
“Did the number of contracts increase?”
It is not particularly strange that the number of contracts increases.
Although there is a limit to the number of contractors, not all contractors live with their identities revealed.
People who live in hiding for various reasons, such as people who hide their identity and pretend to be heroes like the main character of a hero movie, people who accidentally signed a contract but live without using their abilities for religious reasons, people who just hide and live, etc. The number has steadily increased.
The problem was the number.
“It has increased by almost three times compared to the previous week… … .”
It’s not an impossible number, but something is questionable.
Kang Chang-seok put the document aside and started processing other documents.
how much time has passed
Kang Chang-seok, who finished processing all the paperwork, frowned as he looked at the dozens of papers left beside him.
twice as much as usual.
“An increase in the number of contractors, the appearance of mutant monsters that have never been seen before, the appearance of an unknown and powerful contractor… … .”
The instincts of the richest man in the world are sending a warning.
After thinking for a while, Kang Chang-seok put the papers in the desk.
Right now, the Association is busy just taking care of the things they showed Yoosung, so there was no time to focus on anything else for the time being.
“Let’s finish what we started.”
There was no direct damage.
Kang Chang-seok thought it would be okay if he dealt with this a little later.
* * *
“So you want to go on a quest right away?”
“Ten days after finishing the quest, and fifteen days after that. I haven’t been able to do the quest for almost a month. I’m still behind the other users, so I can’t waste any more time here.”
“If dozens of days pass like last time… … .”
“I heard that there are very few worlds with such an extreme time difference?”
“… … It does.”
Did the experience of being left alone in Dragonia for nearly three weeks left a trauma?
Yooseong smiled bitterly at Sophia’s sneaky hold on him.
However, the relationship between the two was clear and there was no justification to stop the user from completing the quest, so Sophia had no choice but to step down.
“It’s funny to say things to the landlord about living on top of each other. But please come back as soon as possible.”
“I’ll be back in a day at the earliest or a few days at the latest, so I’m working.”
“ah!”
Sophia, who had a sullen expression on her face, let out a small exclamation when she remembered what she had forgotten the moment she heard the word work.
“Come to think of it, the gynoid is complete, but I forgot to tell you.”
“… … Didn’t they say it would take at least a year?”
“Of course, it is not a finished product, but a prototype for confirmation. If you see something you don’t like, please tell me right away. If you file a claim later, you will be angry.”
right!
When Sophia snapped her fingers, a coffin-shaped case nearby opened and a girl walked out.
“… … .”
Yoosung was speechless.
Sophia asked how to make the gynoid’s appearance, so I had told her roughly what Aris would look like.
Yes.
roughly
I have never drawn anything like a picture, only describing it with abstract expressions such as having shoulder-length gray hair, mild-looking eyes with golden eyes, and a slim face, so to make a gynoid that looks the same as Aris I thought it would need a lot of tweaking.
‘But this… … .’
The girl in front of her was exactly the same as Aris in her memories.
If you turn on the light and look for it, there should be a detailed difference, but it is a minor enough level to ignore.
After opening my mouth a few times, I was able to barely say a word.
“how?”
A question with multiple meanings.
Sophia smiled and said, as if she was satisfied with Yoosung’s surprised expression.
“I’m not proud of it, but I’ve made quite a few gynoids. Even simple features can give you an almost perfect guess what image a client is thinking of.”
“Have you made a lot?”
“I can’t tell you more than that because it’s a customer privacy issue.”
Apparently, one of the users had asked Sofia to make a large number of gynoids.
“Are you completely human?”
Except for the fact that the eyes looked like camera lenses, I couldn’t find any parts that were different from living humans, such as the texture of the hair, the texture of the skin, and the temperature, let alone the appearance.
“It was made with technology that is several centuries ahead of the current Earth science technology, but of course it should be this much. Hair is made of a special material that can cause quantum entanglement, so information can be exchanged anytime, anywhere while maintaining perfect security regardless of the limitations of distance. Able to observe and analyze signals… … .”
“OK. until there.”
Sophia, who had stopped explaining, pouted her lips, but Yoosung, who was distracted by something else, did not notice it.
“Isn’t this a problem?”
“Well, it’s a prototype, so there are a lot of problems. First of all, the operation time is only 30 minutes, there is no armament, and the AI level is low, so complex actions are impossible… … . There are a lot of things to fix.”
“No, it’s not like that, it means that there are no problems with sudden explosions.”
“… … Can I make you a self-destruct function?”
“no. Wait a minute.”
Yoosung ran to Rod’s room in a huff.
Taking out the Dragon Heart, which is kept in the deepest place in Lord’s room, and the Soul Stone lying next to it, Meteor returned to the rooftop like a leap.
Whoops!
As if guessing what was about to happen, the Soul Stone began to tremble faintly.
After looking down at the soul stone for a while, Yuseong activated the demonic eye of truth and immediately followed by using soul control to carefully extract the soul from the soul stone.
‘It contains the soul.’
It was the first time to put a soul into something other than a doll, but Yoosung didn’t hesitate.
The fraudulent skill called the Mystic Eye of Truth could make the impossible possible.
Fine adjustments are made so that Aris’ soul and the energy flowing inside the Gynoid do not collide, and a special secret technique learned through forbidden knowledge is applied.
And the moment Aris’s soul and the Gynoid’s new model overlapped, the Gynoid raised its head and looked at the meteor.
“… … I didn’t expect this.”
Gynoid… … No, Aris’ eyes were shining golden like those of a meteor.
this is not a game
