Chapter 253
The final list of finalists determined in this fierce competition, with 100 finalists selected from each of dozens of classes. And people showed great interest in the results. To the extent that a special program related to this is screened during prime time on terrestrial television.
[Didn't a lot of contestants show their distinctive features in this preliminary round?]
[That's right. I don't know if it was Arcadia's intention, but jobs that seemed to reflect each culture were revealed this time. Among them, classes such as Druids and Shamans in North America and Magical Engineers in Europe attracted attention.] [
That's right. Hidden classes that are not yet known have been revealed this time. It really made me realize just how many things are hidden in this game. I also tried to find it somehow in the past, but eventually gave up and changed my job to an archer, but I guess this was not enough effort. Hahaha.]
Starting from the World's First Martial Arts Competition, the hidden classes are showing their appearance. People were astonished at the enormous scale of those who exceeded hundreds... no thousands, and were again astonished at the overwhelming force they showed.
-This is what it is.....
-Balance shit hahahahaha
-Look at the level of Dungmangem.
-Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am playing the same game as these guys right?
-This is a typical example of a game that is ruined by management.
One by one, those who show so much power that you can't even imagine dealing with them alone. That's why it brought about a tremendous sense of relative deprivation to users who had ordinary jobs and enjoyed too common play.
[Yes..... It would be too long to talk about each one individually, so if I briefly mention the most controversial part, it is that the ultimate question of class balance has been raised. Until now, the fact that the hidden class existed was publicly known, but I didn't know that it would show fraudulent performance in this way.] The hidden
class is generally called a double-edged sword.
However, the appearance of those who showed at the World's Best Martial Arts Tournament was at a level where it was said that it was a scam without paying attention to balance at all.
[Is that enough?]
[Yes. Well.... If we could talk about each one, there would be no end, but if we were to pick one of the most talked-about users, there would be a user named ‘Choco Piejoa'.
] I see.]
[Yes. In this preliminaries, it is known that he has aroused a lot of public anger about this because he insulted general users in the announcement of his impressions. However, it is famous for doing great things from the beginning. So...]
Watching several people talking about themselves earnestly on TV with solemn faces, Chan-hee felt a very strange feeling, not knowing whether she should like this or cry.
“Haa..... Fuck you.....”
Even just yesterday, he would have gone crazy claiming that it was not him, but an impersonator's action. But now he let out a deep sigh at this shitty situation where he had to admit he did it even if he didn't.
“No, if you’re going to hand it over like this, can’t you just hand it over as a normal image? Why the hell do people turn people into garbage that can't even be recycled?”
Impersonator's channel.
Destroyer's routine.
The place was already being carpet-bombed by people from all over the world who were driven by huge aggro.
It's literally a situation where all the languages that exist in this world are eating all the swear words. However, since the subject was pointing at Chan-hee, not the impostor who actually made the remark, his face twisted into a stern look as he read them one by one.
“Are these damn bastards... really going to sue them all...”
For some reason, he has the urge to feed Go So-mi deliciously. However, remembering what had happened just a few hours ago, Chani shook her head and suppressed the urge in her heart.
“No..... I can't cause such trouble just because it's been a few hours since I signed the contract...”
[It's called Eye Plus. Contact the representative there and meet. I'll tell you in advance, so they'll take care of it.]
Iplus Co., Ltd.
Management that assists video content producers called MCM.
As it is famous as one of the promising places that are growing rapidly in the industry, Chani couldn't help but wonder at the attitude of the representative of the place who came out and treated her.
“I heard the story. Are you the real Choco Pie Joa?”
“Yes.....”
Representative Jo Seo-wook looks emaciated. It was the first time we met, but Chan-hee answered with doubtful eyes at the appearance of him who seemed to have completely lost his mentality.
“First of all... the current situation has no precedent... but if you sign a contract with us, Chani-nim will periodically supply Choco Piezoa's play videos on the channel called ‘Daily Life of a Destroyer' in the future. You will also receive some settlement of the profits generated accordingly.”
Chan-hee carefully read the contract he handed over.
Although he was an outsider who had never signed a contract with the related industry, Chani tilted his head and asked with doubtful eyes at the clause that even he did not understand.
“This... what is it?”
“What are you talking about?”
stipulated clauses. Among them, Chani pointed out the parts that seemed to be problematic and questioned.
“Ownership of the video uploaded to the channel belongs to the channel permanently? And any play video must not be distributed anywhere other than the channel..... I looked it up on the Internet, but I don't think I've seen this provision anywhere.”
The moment the contract is signed, other distribution channels are blocked at the source, and the contract is full of toxic clauses that are completely tied to one everyday item of the destroyer. And since the contract period was a staggering 10 years, Chani could see that this was not an ordinary situation.
“Are you cheating on me?”
Chan-hee questioned with cold eyes. Then CEO Cho Seo-wook said with a helpless smile.
“I understand.”
A completely unexpected answer.
That's why Chani asked with a blank face for a moment.
“What do you mean you understand?”
“As I said before, this contract is not general and is far from what we use as standard. It's unprecedented, but Choco Piejoa... No, trying to meet the demands of the impersonator resulted in this ridiculous and enormous slave contract.”
slave contract.
Chani put on an absurd expression at the words of CEO Jo Seo-wook, who sympathized with him as if he knew this fact better than anyone else.
“That means...”
“Yes. These are the terms requested by the person who introduced Chan-hee to us. He told me... that the most important thing in this contract is to keep Chan-hee's mouth shut.”
“.....”
Silenced.
A contract that seems to be filled with the will to block the source so that you don't even think about uploading videos of you playing on other channels or doing nonsense. Of course, I knew that he wanted to keep his mouth shut because he spoke openly in the game, but I didn't know that he would limit himself to this in reality.
‘This isn't right.....'
Chani decided to refuse and opened her mouth as she didn't want to wear the huge shackles of a contract with legal effect, no matter how great the opportunity was.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think this is the case. No matter how much I think about it, this seems like a serious infringement on my freedom...”
“I see.”
CEO Jo Seo-wook nodded so calmly and picked up the contract again.
“I... what are you doing...?”
Chan-hee asked with a puzzled face while watching him scribble something. In response to his question, CEO Cho Seo-wook sighed and said,
“He said so. I may refuse at first, but in that case, ask me to add one more contract.”
“What is that...”
“Here. Please check again.”
Chani blinked at those words and accepted the contract again. And he opened his mouth when he saw the phrase added to the last page of the contract.
“Is this really... right now?”
“yes.”
-As soon as this contract is concluded, A pays B a lump sum of 3 billion won within 30 business days.
3 billion.
A sum of money enough to buy a decent apartment in Gangnam.
Watching him offer it as a down payment, Chan-hee froze with an expression of disbelief, but CEO Jo Seo-wook said with a small smile.
“I don’t know Chani-nim because he’s not a streamer, but... you don’t know how much money that channel earns from ads alone per month, right?”
The one and only overwhelming Arfandia ranking #1 channel with over 1 billion subscribers.
The channel, which has achieved all the unbreakable and unchanging records of Arpendia, is generating phenomenal profits even though the number of uploaded videos is incomparably smaller than other channels.
“Honestly, I would have signed right away even if there was no down payment? If you upload a video to a super-large channel like this and receive a distribution of profits... you won't have to worry about money in the future.”
CEO Jo Seo-wook knows that it is a slave contract. However, he was confident that this contract would be concluded even under such circumstances. Because...
it was too much money for a 24-year-old returning student to refuse.
Sseuseuk.
Chan-hee signs the contract without hesitation. So he put a huge shackle around his neck without anyone's coercion or pressure. With a huge, bulky carrot in his mouth.
* * *
[You said you signed a contract? You've worked hard, CEO.]
After the contract with Chani was concluded, CEO Seowook Cho called Jaeyoung, who planned all of this.
He asked Jaeyoung, who answered as if he was satisfied, with a tone that he couldn't understand at all.
“No, why the hell is that?”
[What is it?]
“Haa..... No, I don't care if Choco Piejoa is fake or real. But what if you completely destroy the image of the character itself in this way?”
CEO Jo Seo-wook knows that Choco Pie Joa is a disguised identity.
To him, it didn't matter whether Choco Piejoa was real or fake.
I just hope that I will continue to be mystical as I am now and reveal some huge things that can attract people's attention little by little.
However, the image of Choco Paijoa has completely changed due to the appearance shown in this martial arts competition.
“A scum with poor character who is conceited after gaining a hidden class. Subscriber churn and exposure to the global downvote bombardment are also drastically reduced.”
If it were a normal channel, it would be good to just call it a death sentence. That's why he couldn't understand Jaeyoung who committed such an enormous self-destruction.
[Excuse me... CEO. I think you misunderstood something just now..... Choco Pie Joa is trash from the beginning.]
“Yes...?”
[Why did I pretend to be Choco Piejoa in the first place?]
“That's...”
Jaeyoung asked, and countless scenes of Choco Piejoa's misdeeds and misdeeds flashed through his mind. When he thought about them, CEO Cho Seo-wook couldn't speak.
[Besides, this contract is also beneficial to the CEO. It won't be right now, but will you be able to pull out a lot of videos from the real Choco Pie in the future instead of me?]
“That's true, but...”
Unlike Jaeyoung, who doesn't listen to requests for videos, he'll be very cooperative if you coax him a little. Same Chanhee. CEO Seo-wook Cho nodded his head at Jae-young's words, as numerous plans were springing up in CEO Seo-wook Jo's head.
[So, please guide me so that I can follow the concept I created. Maybe it's because I don't do much concept work, so I'm a little nervous, but well... Please filter out those videos yourself.]
Jaeyoung's request not to upload play videos that are too foreign. At his words, CEO Jo Seo-wook tilted his head and asked.
“What concept are you talking about?”
[The concept of the strongest and worst bastard.]
“.....”
