Chapter 319

Silver Lake!
It was there that X came to his senses after being forced to change jobs to a heavenly gourmet.
A place where players could not be found, as if it were a space completely separated from the outside world.
There, X wandered around, hunting down deer, farming items, and finding his way.
Meanwhile, I discovered a ‘Silver Lake’ where deer were concentrated, and after drinking the water, I learned the skill ‘Forgotten Place’.
Forgotten Place (Master): Teleport to a forgotten place.
X, who had checked his skills for the first time in a long time, was dumbfounded.
“…Who would know that it is a skill like this?”
It was like that.
The forgotten place was the skill to warp to the ‘True World’, the elves’ hideout!
The back of X’s head felt tingly.
It was worth it.
‘There’s really no design at all!’
Because I was able to use the skills I had learned at around level 10 only now that I was over level 800!
X is better at winning than anyone else.
A skill that was unusual even at first glance!
For a while after that, X used forgotten places whenever he had the chance.
However, it was just a teleportation to the silver lake and nothing unusual was found.
X sighed.
‘So I completely forgot about it.’
Who would have thought they already had the key to open the door! There was no need to argue with the elves.
X suddenly remembered the time he had wasted and felt sad.
But didn’t the name Silver Lake come up only recently?
X raised his head, praising his memory.
Hershawn asked brightly.
“You forgot? Would you like me to tell you again from the beginning?”
Sounds terrible.
X shook his head and organized the dishes around him.
“what? “What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
Then a dark cloud appeared over Hershawn’s face, who was looking forward to the dinner. Hershawn hesitated before asking.
“Has something urgent happened?”
Eat.
X, who spat out a laugh, answered indifferently.
“okay. So, I’m waiting quietly in that place called the true world.”
Time is money!
X planned to activate Forgotten Place right away.

Meiji Headquarters!
Employees gathered near the floor-to-ceiling glass. Their eyes were all directed towards the sky. Kim Seong-cheol and Myung-woo Seo were no exception.
Seongcheol Kim exclaimed in admiration.
“It’s the largest airship ever. Our Chairman knows Romance? “I can see the Fate logo on the electronic display board, Fate on the ground, and now even in the sky.”
[Second Life FATE]
A large airship floating in the sky! It was an airship solely to promote Fate.
In fact, Fate had become so popular that it no longer needed publicity, but the airship was a kind of self-congratulatory event.
Seo Myung-woo nodded.
“Yes, despite all the checks, he did not give in in the end.”
A symbol of victory!
Fate had been suffering from account deletion incidents and endless over-immersion issues.
The departure of the airship could be said to be a ceremony to show the hostile forces.
“Well, we didn’t do anything.”
“I was really moved by this incident? If the players hadn’t supported Fate, the chairman would have been called to court as a witness by now…”
Kim Seong-cheol was sincere.
The reason the Mage was able to overcome the crisis was purely due to the players. He was seriously tempted by the sex theory.
“Should we not overdo it and just finish talking about what we were talking about?”
Tuk-tuk.
Seo Myung-woo tapped Kim Seong-cheol on the shoulder.
Kim Seong-cheol also knew roughly what Seo Myung-woo wanted.
Although it was time for a break, the two men started talking non-stop in front of the monitor.
“I really thought my eyeball was falling out? Even if you check ten things a day, there should be some decrease. I wonder if we used to work this hard in the past…”
“Yes, we worked hard. great job. So, did you find anything?”
“Sure. “If it wasn’t there, I didn’t even say anything.”
Seongcheol Kim’s confident answer.
There was curiosity in Seo Myung-woo’s eyes.
“Did you find the connection?”
Link!
Talking about important clues that can solve questions about the current Fate worldview.
Simply put, it refers to elements recycled from a world view that was deleted in the past.
Instead of answering, Kim Seong-cheol slowly unfolded the information.
“First of all, as you expected, there were named dragons. Dragons like Khan Daydream and La Ope that were used in world view 77. “You know this because you watched it on streaming, right?”
“okay. “I remember that handsome green dragon.”
“In world view 77, these dragons were the final bosses, but they were wiped out at the end of the simulation. Even though there were no players. “It was because the NPCs were too strong.”
Seo Myung-woo narrowed his eyes.
“Yes, I did.”
The failure to adjust balance until the last minute is all because of the NPCs you set up!
I remembered the game masters biting each other for no reason. Kim Seong-cheol took a moment to reflect on the memories before continuing.
“Actually, this has happened several times, right? This is a world view that was deleted because it did not provide room for players to be active. Well, actually, the world view was like that before the beta test.”
Nod.
It was something I could completely sympathize with.
“So what do you want to say?”
As Myung-woo Myung shrugged, Seong-cheol Kim’s eyes changed.
“That’s what we missed.”
“…what? What else did we miss? “What do we always miss?”
“I mean concrete simulation records. We should have looked closely at the process rather than just checking the results. “There must have been more definite clues in the process…!”
Kuuk.
Kim Seong-cheol gently pressed his temples as if he was in pain. Seo Myung-woo could not understand the English text.
“Even the simulation process? “You can’t check that right now.”
“Yes, so you are suffering.”
“No, please be specific. What kind of information is there in the simulation? And what does that have to do with the players’ performance…”
Myung-woo Myung, who was speaking, paused for a moment.
While I was reflecting on Kim Seong-cheol’s story, I realized why he was holding his head.
Seo Myung-woo, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“NPC. “Who is the NPC active in the deleted worldview?”
“As expected, a senior is a senior.”
“…Yes, that was the link!”
NPCs who performed great work in a world where players did not exist!
If their information was also recycled, there was a very high possibility that those NPCs would have a huge influence on the current Fate worldview.
What this means is that if you research information related to them, you can get hints about the main story.
But Seongcheol Kim shook his head.
“But none of the NPCs I remember are okay. Even though the very basic code is the same, most of them end up being completely different characters. “For example, a great gladiator becomes a restaurant owner.”
77 worldview resets!
In fact, it was strange to expect something to be fine.
I thought I had a clue, but I never thought something like this would happen!
Myung-woo Myung muttered.
“Damn, if we had a record of the simulation it would be easier to track it down.”
I felt like I knew why Kim Seong-cheol screamed.
The situation has become difficult again.
However, Kim Seong-cheol’s face was still full of life. This was because one of the most important pieces of information still remained.
“By the way, senior. “There was a strange NPC code.”
“…Strange NPC code?”
“There is a code that overlaps in the deleted worldviews, and the record is very fancy? Do you know how many times this NPC has been the one to eat jjang in the world?”
If I remembered that, would I be like this? Seo Myung-woo shook his head.
Then Kim Seong-cheol stretched out ten fingers.
“Ten times?!”
This time, Seongcheol Kim shook his head. They each pointed out five fingers in turn.
“Fifty and five times.”
Then Seo Myung-woo’s face turned pale.
“That’s ridiculous.”
As I said, there were numerous resets in Fate.
In the midst of that turbulent chaos, you rose to the top position 55 times? Because the odds were close to impossible!
Seo Myung-woo felt like he wanted to check the code on Fate right away.
Even if you cannot know specific information due to insufficient authority, you will be able to know the character’s name.
‘There’s no way an NPC I don’t know will pop out.’
There was no way Kim Seong-cheol, who found out about the fact first, would not have investigated.
As Seo Myung-woo sent his gaze, Kim Seong-cheol opened his mouth. In response, Seo Myung-woo tilted his head.
“…Gourmet king? really?”
An NPC popped out that was completely different from what I expected.
Isn’t the Gourmet King just one of the generals who assisted Las Loren?
Additionally, no records of the Gourmet King could be found in Fate. This meant that it was an NPC with a low presence.
“No, it’s time to shake off prejudice.”
However, there were many secrets in the current Fate that even they did not know about.
Since the Gourmet King was an NPC with a special code, there was a good chance that he was still operating secretly. There was a possibility that he might be involved in the main story.
“In the end, I guess I have no choice but to focus on being the king of gourmets.”
“Yes. Where is this though? “The target has been identified.”
“There’s a Gourmet King in the main story. Anyway, it’s a combination I couldn’t have imagined.”
Now that I knew about the existence of the Gourmet King, it was time to start a new investigation. It was only after the two men finished their conversation that they could feel the eyes on them.
“Are you finished talking?”
The one who was watching was Seong Min-ji.
Seo Myung-woo was shocked.
“Where were you listening?”
“From Gourmet King?”
“omg. “You can’t go anywhere and talk about it, Senpai!”
“Hey, if you say that obediently…!”
Seong Min-ji swallowed his laughter when he saw the two arguing.
It was a pity that I couldn’t hear the exact story, but that wasn’t the matter right now.
Seong Min-ji conveyed what he wanted to say.
“The director called Seongcheol and you. “I guess you two have something to say.”
“…To us?”
“okay. So, from now on, be prepared.”
It’s just a call, but are you ready?
Although I had doubts, Seong Min-ji’s expression was extremely serious. She whispered so softly that only the two of them could hear.
“Because the fate of Mage and Fate is at stake in the story you will hear from now on.”

Prosecutor Hwang Woo-hyeon.
He was looking at the materials his junior had obtained. Hwang Woo-hyeon muttered.
“Is there any casualty accident that is not unfortunate? Even the sky is indifferent. A private plane accident a day before my daughter’s birthday. “And on the way to see my daughter.”
The informant is a close associate of the party.
It was an article from ten years ago.
Although no specific name was written, there was only one private plane accident in the world that day.
Anyone who knew it could tell that it was an article about Madame Schubert.
Junior prosecutor Seo said.
“Have you read to the end, Senpai? Even looking at it now, my heart is touched. They said he was so badly injured that he couldn’t survive even for ten minutes… “My daughter didn’t stop breathing until she arrived at the hospital.”
It was truly a mother’s miracle.
Prosecutor Seo was once again in a state of emotion.
However, Hwang Woo-hyeon was just reviewing the article with an expressionless face.
‘The news about my daughter ends here.’
It wasn’t a strange thing.
It was only natural for celebrities to protect the privacy of their families.
But now the situation was unique. It’s just speculation right now, but there are too many things to doubt.
‘Has this incident become a turning point?’
From a great scholar to a virtual reality game developer.
It wasn’t just Schubert.
Likewise, Carla was called a promising scholar in the field of brain science. She also developed a close relationship with Schubert and recently took the position of CEO of Meiji.
There was also a rumor that she was Schubert’s lover. But such meaningless gossip was not Hwang Woo-hyun’s area of interest.
‘The two scholars have changed since that day.’
why?
wherefore?
Hwang Woo-hyeon constantly racked his brain.
Suddenly, Prosecutor Seo spoke without notice.
“How did your mother feel when she left first? “I was so worried that I had to leave my husband and daughter to go first that I obviously couldn’t sleep peacefully.”
I was hoping for warm sympathy.
Hwang Woo-hyeon, who had no blood or tears, gave a cold answer. His eyes were still fixed on the article.
“Well, it can’t be worse than the sadness and pain of the ‘person left behind.’”
